New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine has modern-day potions witches Holly and Andrew facing off against a firebrand politician who wears literally killer boots in a Texas-sized rodeo of trouble.
Boot-loving Cadogan vampire Lindsey must team up with off-again, on-again vampire partner Luc when a woman from her past is targeted by supernaturals in New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill’s all-new adventure.
And New York Times bestselling author Rob Thurman features Trixa Iktomi from her Trickster series dealing with magical vengeance and magical footwear.
Taking kick-ass urban fantasy literally, USA Today bestselling authors Kalayna Price and Faith Hunter bring together the best of the genre to once again prove when you’re fighting supernatural forces, it helps to keep your feet on the ground.
An anthology of nine short stories revolving around a theme of footwear.
Rachel Caine‘s “Forked Tongues” seems mislabeled unless it’s a metaphor for lying ass demon. Witches are under attack in Austin, and Holly Caldwell and her boyfriend, the Old West zombie Andy Toland, are hurtin’ until they find the reason for it. And after events in Hex Appeal: “Holly’s Balm”, 2, the cops aren’t interested in helping out.
It’s those boots, they’ve got juice. A good story albeit very short, but then I’m prejudiced towards this short story series. On the negative side, I realize that, having read the first two stories, I’m filling in a lot of blanks Caine left. I’m not sure “Forked Tongues” will make sense unless you’ve read at least one of the previous two: Strange Brew: “Death Warmed Over”, 1, or/and Hex Appeal: “Holly’s Balm”, 2.
Shannon K. Butcher‘s “Stolen Goods” is a good one! I love Butcher’s creation of her sexy, sultry thief who needs to be brought back to the path. Between those sexy red boots and the matching handbag…she hasn’t got a chance against leatherworker Marcus Brighton’s convictions.
Really well done. Butcher has created an entire world in just over 40 pages and makes me want to read more!
Chris Marie Green‘s “The Girl With No Name” is another good one except for all the vague bits. Part of the vague is useful, which helps you empathize with Lilly as she tries to figure out who she is and stay alive. It gets vaguer yet when they don’t explain about a dragon’s line of vampires??, although Green does provide a tease of background.
Faith Hunter‘s “The Devil’s Left Boot” brings Liz and Cia, the twin Everhart witches, up against Layla, their high school mean girl. Seems Layla is missin’ her mama and wants their help. Ha. Ha-ha-ha.
I’m not impressed with this one, and lord knows I wanted to be. Instead, it’s all tell and little show. Worth reading if only for the resolution between these two sisters and Jane.
Chloe Neill‘s “High Stakes” was just dumb. A threat from Lindsey’s past arises, and sure, she needs to deal with it. But Neill doesn’t give any good reasons why Luc can’t come along and be her backup. It immediately leaps into a dump situation. Which is almost as stupid. In New York, Lindsey leaps right into trouble without scouting the situation…duhh… And again, all tell and little show.
Lucienne Diver‘s “The Parlor” weaves back and forth between good and huh? It takes awhile before we even learn the protagonist’s name, and it feels as though we were simply dropped into the story. I felt as though I were scrambling. Maybe that’s a good thing as it seemed that Tori was scrambling to figure things out as well.
Christina Henry‘s “Red Isn’t Really My Color” puts this one in my TBR file. I like Beezle! It’s a whole lotta world in this short story and incorporates the fairy tale of the Red Shoes. Ick. Amarantha, the faerie queen, has a major hate on for Madeline and her many greats-grandfather, Lucifer. It’s a twisty, tricky story involving those red shoes, although it is somewhat simplistic. We’ll have to see how good the full-length stories are.
Rob Thurman‘s “Snakeskin” is a ten-years-previous prequel and introduces Zeke and Griffin. That said, Trixa is delighted with the liar who shows up at her bar—she tells the best lies—and does her best to fulfill Elizabeth Rose Burke-Lane’s request.
This was good. Thurman leads you up the garden path with the larcenous Trixa, perky, happy, and deadly when she investigates. Oh, yeah, Trixa will give Bethy what she wants all right. It’s a sudden twist and yet fulfills the specifics of the bargain.
Kalayna Price‘s “Ruby Red” introduces us to Briar Darque and her partner, Derrick Knight—huh, Darque Knight *waggles her brows*—when they investigate shadow creatures before they get sent to check out some grave witch named Alex Craft.
Briar’s a cold one, but there are hints of warmth and want in her, but this short story is more an introduction to Darque’s philosophy and her partner whom I don’t believe we met in Grave Memory, 3.
The cover is a deep purple of lights and darks in a plank’d floor and a stony wall with the lightest lilac showcasing a woman’s legs, the calf of one raised and black booted leg resting against her knee, her cuff’d forearm resting on that upraised knee, and holding a tactical knife. You can’t miss the these boots…yep, a 3 ½-inch heel in black, glossy, over-the-knee leather.
Oh, yeah, these boots are definitely Kicking It: These Boots are Made for Stalking with the men following with their tongues hanging out, LOL.

4.6?150 mm, 5 μm, and eluted with a mobile phase consisting in a mixture of methanol:10 mM ammonium acetate in the ratio
of 70:30. Detection was in MRM mode, using an electrospray negative ionization. The ion transition monitored was: m/z Q1
MASS 368.1; Q3 MASS 112.1(M/Z) for pitofenone HCl and Q1 MASS 338.3; Q3 MASS 239.1 (M/Z) for internal standard.
The retention time of pitofenone and internal standard were 3.2 and 1.7 respectively. The method was evaluated in terms of
linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, sensitivity. The simple extraction procedure and short chromatographic runtime make
the method suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring studies.

Because of its multifaceted value, xenon gas is gaining favor in a variety of end-use sectors. The electronics and semiconductor industry is a fast-moving market. The semiconductor industry uses xenon gas largely in the etching process. It contributes to the project's total cost reduction. With the advancement of technology, demand for xenon-based barcode scanners and laser-operated sensors has grown.
Xenon gas is supplied in seamless steel or aluminum cylinders. These cylinders are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for use in a variety of industries. Liquid xenon gas is also available, which makes it easy to store and transport.
“Xenon Gas Popular in Spacecraft Missions”
Noble gases are commonly employed in spacecraft propulsion in aerospace and aviation industries. These inert gasses work well as a propellant for electric ion propulsion technology, which is gaining popularity in the satellite sector.
Electric propulsion systems used in space travel employ xenon as a fuel. Xenon, which is easily ionized and has a high atomic mass, is the most-used propellant in ion propulsion. This produces a continuous stream of ions that gently propel a spacecraft to high speeds while using very little fuel, making it an excellent choice for long-range missions.
It also helps reduce the weight of the satellite, which is beneficial for any space mission. As such, this xenon gas aspect enables the spacecraft to carry a larger payload.
“Technological Advancements in Healthcare Sector Promoting Xenon Gas Demand”
On a global scale, the elderly population has been rapidly increasing. To balance the conditions of healthcare systems, governments throughout the world have been investing considerable sums in improving healthcare services as well as enabling 100 percent FDI in the medical device sector.
In the healthcare industry, industrial gases are employed for respiratory, cryogenic, and surgical purposes. As such, industrial gases such as xenon gas are expected to be in high demand over the coming years.
“Harmful Effects of Xenon Gas Can Stunt Market Expansion”
When an excessive amount of xenon gas is inhaled, it can cause nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and even death. When oxygen levels are low, death can occur instantly.
Mental disease and weariness have all been linked to xenon gas in rare situations. It has been used as an anesthetic and has been linked to adverse effects such as hypertension, nausea, and vomiting in a large number of people.
Emotional instability is common, and weariness sets in quickly. Nausea and vomiting, prostration and loss of consciousness, and also convulsions, deep coma, and death may occur as asphyxia continues. Such dreadful properties of xenon gas are hampering overall demand growth.
Why is Demand for Xenon Gas High in the U.S.?
The U.S. is a leading consumer of xenon gas, followed by China. The United States market is expected to attain a value of US$ 41.4 Mn in 2022. Rising healthcare and aerospace industry spending in the country is elevating demand growth of xenon gas across the country.

AbstractThe neglected-but-popular Yiddish humorist Tashrak (penname of Yisroel-Yoysef Zevin) offers not just an opportunity to discover understudied aspects of the Jewish urban experience and modern Yiddish culture, but also allows us to tap into a less refined level of beliefs, behavior, judgments and attitudes of Yiddish-speaking Jews in America. Tashrak wittily conveyed to his readers a comforting image of the New World: New York City was just an enlarged shtetl, whose Jewish residents clashed over a host of issues, while encountering a number of stereotypical non-Jews. In his representation of internal Jewish divisions and disputes, relations with non-Jews, and the trials of modernity and assimilation, Tashrak followed, to some extent, the literary paths of earlier Yiddish and Hebrew writers. Yet critics often frowned upon his politics as either conservative or apolitical, and considered his literary style as lowbrow, thus they disregarded his work altogether, or referred to it as worthless.

Small Town Crime was one of the better films of this early 2018 year that excels thanks to a strong cast led way by John Hawkes with special note toward Robert Forster and Clifton Collins Jr. in smaller roles.
The American Side starts out well enough as a throwback crime-mystery before, for whatever reason, the writers decided to throw in a “Da Vinci Code”-like story arc that really failed to connect. On the plus side, the cast isn’t bad led by Greg Stuhr (who co-wrote), Camilla Belle, Matthew Broderick and Robert Forster.
London Has Fallen is an entertaining actioner, something that probably would’ve better served released back in the ‘80s, though it’s not exactly a necessary sequel since Olympus Has Fallen, while a nice time, didn’t need a follow-up. Having said that, this entry is at least worth a rental, just don’t expect any sort of depth.
It’s not too hard to see why Survivor went direct-to-video and in spite of the best efforts of a (mostly) respectable cast and some decent direction from the director, the screenplay needed a few more passes to iron out the plot and, in particular, the characters who are laughably thinly written and just laughable all around. This movie is destined for the dump bin and with a few cuts, will air on Spike TV one day.
Supernova is somewhat of a controversial sci-fi thriller, some who stand by it while others trash it; for myself, there is some good to the film yet it never quite hits its stride and kind of loses its way by the final act. That said, it’s worth a watch if only for curiosity’s sake (plus Tunney looks mighty good).

Robots Still 10 Minutes Off The Pikes Peak Pace
With results from Audi’s driverless attempt at Pikes Peak certified, it seems that we have nothing to fear from the GPS-based autonomous drifting machine. Audi’s press release notes:
Overall, the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak completed the mountain course in 27 minutes, as verified by Pikes Peak International Hill Climb officials. No human rally driver has completed the course in fewer than 10 minutes, despite driving cars that produced more than 900 hp. The Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak generates 265 hp. Race officials told researchers they would expect an expert race driver on the course to finish in around 17 minutes in a car similar to the TTS.
Take that robots! You may build cars better than humans, but you’ve still got a thing or two to learn about driving.
[UPDATE: the Stanford team writes in to remind us that the point of the exercise was to safely develop driver-assistance systems, and that the 27 minute time was ” just a measurement of our safety plan and the speed we set for the lead vehicle.” Call us insecure, but we’re still calling this a victory for H.Sapiens.]
Indeed good for our team! However I suspect that the robots will eventually do better, as they have no fear of rolling off a cliff, not to mention death.
Can't wait for the day when kids will wish to grow up to be race-car passengers.
I thought I read an article, or heard somewhere that they were going to pave the pikes peak course because all of the gravel was changing the mountains native soil (or something to that effect)

Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport
The Ultimate Civic Engagement Handbook
Other Editions of This Title:
We are proud residents of the land of the free and the home of the brave, but how often do we actually get involved and do anything to make a difference? The lifeblood of democracy is civic engagement, and Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport teaches readers how to get in the game and help!
Volunteers are needed in record numbers. Millions of Americans—middle class, working class, professionals, and business executives—have experienced the loss of a job, a home, or a business, a small farm failure, a personal bankruptcy, or a loss of pension or retirement income. And millions more are only a layoff, illness, divorce, or accident away from falling into poverty. Blaustein focuses on two critical questions: “How did we get into this mess?” and “What can be done to turn things around?” His answer to these interconnected questions is volunteering, community service, civic engagement, and citizen participation.
Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport is a comprehensive collection of more than two hundred community service opportunities and experiences. More than a simple resource guide, this unique handbook includes interviews, anecdotes, and commentary from the top people in nonprofit and service fields.

After paparazzi spotted Rihanna during her vacation back home in Barbados with bestie Melissa Forde, the “Pour It Up” singer retaliated with a breastie (selfie-of her [covered] breast).
“Tell da paparazzi get the lens right,” she wrote Saturday while showing a close-up view of her breasts and tattoo in a purple bikini top.
But that’s not the only thing going on as she basks in the Barbados sun. An alleged demo of what could be RiRi’s new hit is making its rounds on the net.
The rumored leaked track, titled “World Peace,” began to pick up earlier today (Jan. 3,) though it was published on Jan. 1. Outlets such as E! News, Elle and Cosmopolitan are reporting that the voice on the uptempo, club-ready track belongs to none other than Rihanna.
There are still no confirmations as to whether this is in fact one of Rihanna’s upcoming tracks, or if it’s even her—but judging by the sound it most certainly is. Now the only question that remains is when will we “officially” get to hear it? Check it out below.

London, (Asian independent) Britain and the European Union (EU) remain hopeful of a post-Brexit trade deal despite talks are currently in a difficult phase, local media reported.
Brexit trade talks are set to continue on Friday night as EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier remains in London, Sky News reported.
On Thursday, a senior British government source accused the EU team of “bringing new elements into the negotiation” at the 11th hour, adding that a breakthrough was “still possible in the next few days but that prospect is receding”, according to the BBC.
It quoted British Business Secretary Alok Sharma that the talks were “in a difficult phase” and that the country wanted the EU to recognize it as “a sovereign and independent nation” for any deal that can be reached, Xinhua news agency reported.
French Minister of State for European Affairs Clement Beaune has said his government could “veto” any deal reached, if it did not satisfy his country’s demands, particularly on fishing rights.
However, European Council President Charles Michel urged the EU’s 27 member states, which would each have to ratify any trade deal with Britain, to maintain “unity” as negotiations continue, the BBC reported.
Meanwhile, the London-based Financial Times reported that hopes remain on both sides that the last-minute bust-up can be resolved and a deal be reached by next Monday or Tuesday, ahead of a European Council meeting in Brussels slated for Thursday next week.
Britain and the EU resumed face-to-face talks in London last Saturday after an EU negotiator tested positive for coronavirus earlier in November.
The negotiations are at a crucial stage as time is running out for both sides to secure a deal before the Brexit transition period expires at the end of the year. Failure to reach a free trade agreement with the EU means bilateral trade will fall back on World Trade Organization (WTO) rules in 2021.
To oil the negotiations, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are reportedly to hold phone conversation in the coming hours or days, according to some British media reports.
The two leaders had phone conversations several times instead of face-to-face discussions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To bring life back to normal, countries including Germany, China, Russia, and the United States are racing against time to find a vaccine.

Get Ready for Another Kardashian Wedding!
By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 15th 2011 10:09PM
EXCLUSIVE: Can't get enough of the Kardashian clan on the small screen? Well if the answer is "yes," then you are in luck! Kourtney K. and boyfriend Scott Disick are the latest members of the family to be in talks to get their own spinoff show for E!, and sources tell me it will revolve around their still-secret wedding plans.
"The last episode of 'Kourtney and Kim Take New York' is Scott proposing," an insider tells me. "Then just like sister Khloe and Lamar, Kourtney and Scott will not only get their own show but also a wedding. It's going to be TV gold."
Mom Kris Jenner, who is the genius behind the whole Kardashian phenomenon, is currently conceptualizing a show with E! that will follow Kourtney and Scott on the path to a wedding. I'm told it will be complete with outrageous wedding plans, chaos, dresses and, of course, Scott being a groomzilla.
The family already has 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' 'Kim and Kourtney Take New York, 'Khloe and Lamar' and soon, Scott and Kourtney's untitled show. This will make them arguably of the most prolific TV franchises of all time.
"What is going to make this new show a monster hit is that Scott and Kourtney are actually happier than ever," an insider tells me. "Heading toward the alter is the next step for them with or without the cameras."

Post category: Winter swedes
The swede turnip is the ordinary kind of turnip, but called swede turnip to distinguish it from the smaller white turnips. The latter is a summer vegetable while the purple-topped swede is quintessential winter fare. It probably would not even taste right in warm weather; it is sweeter to taster after frost.
A member of the cabbage family, the swede turnip actually originated in Sweden, where it is known as ‘rutabaga’ in the seventeenth century and it is still a cool climate vegetable. It is easy to grow but not grown that much in gardens. It is a bulky vegetable and widely grown as an extensive field crop, so most gardeners do not bother, simply buying their swedes, quite cheaply, in the supermarket. The other reason that the swede turnip is not grown much in gardens is that it is late sown. Most people who grow vegetables sow the seeds in one lot in spring, but swede turnips are better sown a little later in May or June even.
If they are sown too early, they tend to become mildewed and not form the swollen root so well and there is a danger of bolting too. A few swedes are worth growing because they provide fresh produce in winter and they are not much trouble.
Cooking Swede Turnips
The swede is quite a versatile vegetable. It can be eaten raw in slices or grated, and it has a nice crunchy texture with a mixture of sweetness and a slight peppery taste. Typically, it is boiled and served as sliced turnip or mashed. But is can also be used in stews and casseroles, or stir-fried. It has great ability to absorb flavours and is used with a variety of herbs and spices, such as coriander, parsley, pepper and nutmeg, in various countries. The leaves can be used as for cabbage. Swedes are a good source of fibre and a reasonable source of calcium and vitamins A and C.
Growing Swede Turnips
Choose a sunny spot on well-drained, fertile, but not overly rich soil, or an area that has received organic manure in the past year – this gives a strong, earthy flavour. They need lime in the soil, like most vegetables, and acid soil should be limed to bring it to the limy side of neutral.
Seeds of swede turnips are sown in May in cooler areas and the northern half of the country, in June elsewhere. The seeds are sown directly where the plants are to mature; they cannot be transplanted, unless perhaps in cell blocks. Sow the seeds in groups of six or eight about fifteen centimetres apart in rows about fifty centimetres apart.
When the seedlings have one or two true leaves, thin out the seedlings by half their number at each station along the row. About three weeks later, reduce this to own plant at each station and a few weeks later, remove the plant from every second station. Leaving in the extra stations is insurance against loss at some stations, which can occur, due to pests or seedling blindness. The leaves of the plants removed can be cooked as cabbage.
Keep weeds under control at least until the turnip leaves cover the soil, after that they are able to compete quite well. Water the little seedlings during any dry spell in the weeks after they emerge; they tend to start of form a root too early if they get a setback from drought.
Harvesting and storage
Swede turnips can be used when they are big enough but do not develop flavour until cool autumn days arrive. They can be left in the ground and used as necessary or they can be lifted in autumn and stored in a cool place, not too dry.

Nitroreductase-activated Nitric Oxide (NO) Prodrugs.
Kavita Sharma, K. Sengupta, H. Chakrapani
Published 2013 · Chemistry, Medicine

Download PDFAnalyze on Scholarcy
Due to the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in numerous and diverse physiological processes, site-directed delivery of therapeutic NO in order to minimize unwanted side-effects is necessary. O(2)-(4-Nitrobenzyl) diazeniumdiolates are designed as substrates for Escherichia coli nitroreductase (NTR), an enzyme that is frequently used to facilitate directed delivery of cytotoxic species to cancers. O(2)-(4-Nitrobenzyl) diazeniumdiolates are found to be stable in aqueous buffer but are metabolized by NTR to produce NO. A cell viability assay revealed that cytotoxic effects of O(2)-(4-nitrobenzyl)1-(2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (4b) towards two cancer cell lines is significantly enhanced in the presence of NTR suggesting the potential for use of this compound in nitric oxide-based directed prodrug therapy.

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tuesday slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his "conspiracy theory" remarks on the mid-day meal tragedy.
According to reports, Nitish Kumar told Janata Dal-United (JD-U) workers that the mid-day meal was deliberately laced with pesticide.
BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain slammed the chief minister for his comments and said the government cannot blame the opposition for its failure.
"Nitish Kumar has forgotten he is not just a JD-U leader but the chief minister of Bihar," Hussain told reporters here.
"They cannot take the credit for the good work and blame the opposition for all the bad things that happen," he said.
He also slammed Bihar Education Minister P.K. Sahi, who said he cannot guarantee that such incidents do not happen again.
"The education minister is saying he cannot guarantee that similar incident is not repeated; in that case, he has no right to be a minister," Hussain said.
Sahi earlier said: "As a minister, how can I guarantee that in 72,000 schools across the state, there won't be any poison in the food if somebody is hell bent on doing so?"

a dull leek-green colored micro-crystalline variety
of Quartz. It is named from the Greek word prasios meaning leek,
referring to its leek-green color. A leek is a biennial garden herb of the lily family grown for its mildly pungent succulent green
leaves. The green coloration
is from Actinolite, Chlorite
depending on locality.
Originally, the varietal name "prase" was
applied to a leek-green colored micro-crystallin
Quartz that was colored green by Hedenbergite inclusions.
The most notable occurance of this Prase Quartz is on
the Serifos Island of Greece. Over time the term Prase
has also been applied to other materials having a similar
leek green color but not only micro-crysallin Quartz
and without regard to what causes the color. These days
the term Prase no longer has any mineralogical specification;
it has become a general term to describe color and can't
even be called a varietal name.

David O. Stewart talks about his new historical fiction novel, and takes your questions about writing, publishing, and the history surrounding his new novel.
Author David O. Stewart returns to Duncan, this time to discuss his new historical fiction novel The New Land. Inspired by Stewart's maternal family history, The New Land traces the story of German immigrants on the Maine coast in the 1750s, following them to the war for independence.
In 1753, Johann Oberstrasse’s wife, Christianne, announces that their infant sons will never soldier for the Landgraf of Hesse like their father, hired out to serve King George of England. In search of a new life, Johann and the family join an expedition to the New World, lured by the promise of land on the Maine coast. A grinding voyage deposits them on the edge of a continent filled with dangers and disease. Expecting to till the soil, Johann finds that opportunity on the rocky coast comes from the forest, not land, so he learns carpentry and trapping. To advance in an English world, Johann adapts their name to Overstreet.
But war follows them. The French and their Indian allies mount attacks on the English settlements of New England. To protect their growing family and Broad Bay neighbors, Johann accepts the captaincy of the settlement’s militia and leads the company through the British assault on the citadel of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia. Left behind in Broad Bay, Christianne, their small children, and the old and young stave off Indian attacks, hunger, and cruel privations.
About the author:
After many years as a trial and appellate lawyer, David O. Stewart became a bestselling writer of history and historical fiction. His histories have explored the writing of the Constitution, the gifts of James Madison, the outrageous western expedition and treason trial of the mysterious Aaron Burr, and the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. His histories have won the Washington Writing Award for best book of the year, the History Prize of the Society of the Cincinnati, and the William H. Prescott Award of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America. Find David and more of his work online at https://davidostewart.com/

What is radon gas?
Radon is a radioactive gas that cannot be detected by our human senses. It is colourless, and has no taste or smell to it.
Where is radon found?
Radon occurs naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soils and rock, and can be found all over Canada. Being a gas, radon can move through cracks and spaces in the rocks and soil, and can also “hitch a ride” with water flowing through the rock where it is created. When radon is released from the soil/rock to outdoor air, it is generally found in very low concentrations that we don’t need to worry about. However, if radon enters the buildings where we live and work, it can build up to high levels, well above what is naturally found outdoors. Radon can seep into our buildings where they are in contact with the ground/soil (for example, though cracks in the foundation walls, unsealed openings around drain pipes, and via open sump pumps), and it can also be brought indoors with the water that we use, particularly if the water is from a source of ground water (as opposed to surface water like rivers and streams). A cross-Canada study done by Health Canada, showed that we can find homes with elevated radon levels all across the country.
What are the health risks?
Radon gas is radioactive. As radon gas decays, it forms tiny radioactive solids that tend to stick to existing dust particles in the air. We can breathe in these radioactive particles, and they tend to get trapped and stay in our lungs. The decay of these particles results in the release of alpha particles, which interact with the lung tissues and can cause damage to the cells, increasing a person’s long-term risk for lung cancer. The higher the radon concentration and the longer the exposure, the higher is a person’s risk for developing lung cancer over time. And, for smokers, it is important to note that mixing radon exposure with smoking causes an even higher level of risk for lung cancer – more than the individual risks added together!
How do you know if your radon levels are elevated?
The only way to know if radon levels are elevated is to test for radon, but don’t worry, it is actually quite easy to do. Radon concentration levels do vary over time (day to day and week to week), so when measuring radon gas concentration in our homes or workplaces, it is best to perform a long-term test to measure the average concentration over 3 to 12 months. Health Canada recommends that Canadians test for radon during the heating season (approximately October to April), and that we test in the lowest occupied level of our homes and businesses. Long-term radon test kits can be ordered on line (e.g., from the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada or other suppliers) or can be picked up at many home improvement stores (just be sure to get a long-term test as opposed to a 2- or 7-day test, as long-term tests provide a much more reliable assessment).
How to minimize exposures if levels test to be high?
If testing reveals long-term average radon concentrations above 200 Bq/m3, Health Canada recommends that steps be taken to lower the radon levels. These remedial actions can be as simple as sealing cracks or joints/gaps in the foundations, installing a lid over a sump-pump to seal out that air from the building air, or increasing ventilation in the home. Alternatively, and particularly if these simple measures are not enough, a radon remediation professional can be brought in to assist in reducing radon levels, usually at a cost that is much less than other home maintenance issues such as a furnace or roof replacement.

Horseless Carriages Were Rapidly Going Out Of Style Little Old Canarsie
Before the First World War began, Canarsie was a real country village with unpaved streets and lack of sewers. Many of its homes had to have a large cesspool built in the yard, which had to be pumped out when full by a scavenger who would come around to pump them out and carry it away to dispose in some sewer outlet. Homes that didn’t have a bathroom & toilet had both in the yard.
Public baths were very popular at the time where you could go and take a bath despite these hardships the people lived happy with their horse and buggy to take a ride as far as Jamaica or to Rockaway or Coney Island.
For amusement those who stayed home would play a phonograph with the latest records or else play checkers or dominoes with a neighbor. Many homes had chickens and ducks in the yard and those who had them always had fresh eggs to eat. The ducks were just as good as a watchdog if you entered a gate of a home that had them. They would quack and quack in the still of the night and wake the owner to check who came in the yard.
We had about 25 ducks and we let them out in the early morn and they would wander all over the empty lots and be away all day and just before dusk, like a company of soldiers they came down the street with the drake in the lead and all the others (females) would follow, one behind the other. What a sight to watch them as they entered the yard and went back to the coop.
Many homes that had a barn for their horses also had one or two goats for company for the horse. Our house had 3 horses and a pair of goats. I had a wagon just like a police patrol and would hook up a goat and take about six kids in it and just as we go to the corner of Ave. K and E.93rd I tickled the goat under his tail with the whip and he would kick up his hind legs and up went the wagon with all the kids spilled out in the dirt or mud if it had rained the previous day.
I would many times take my goat to go on an errand for mom. Either to Henry Fortmeyer, the butcher, for 2 lbs. of pork chops for twenty-five cents and a pound of calfs liver for six cents and butch would give me my choice; a big piece of bologna or liverwurst for free which I would eat on the way home and up E.94th St. in the middle of the block to stop in Hoffman’s Bake Shop and get six round flat cookies covered half white and half chocolate, which were three for a nickel and six crumb buns for a nickel. Peddlers would come around with a horse and wagon to your door with peaches, a nickel a pound or strawberries ten cents a quart or three for a quarter. They would dump the basket to show you they were fresh.
In those days a man’s salary was about ten or twelve dollars a week and rents were ten or fifteen dollars a month with no income taxes or union dues taken out.

Everyone loves gawking at the gorgeous photos NASA gathers from its various spacecraft. They deliver breathtaking views of Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter on a regular basis, and the James Webb Space Telescope promises to provide glimpses of distant worlds with greater clarity and detail than ever before. The telescope was slated to launch in 2019, but NASA announced today that its debut is being pushed back into 2020.
The James Webb is the heir apparent to the Hubble Space Telescope which is creeping up on its 28th birthday. While its tools aren’t a direct replacement for those aboard the Hubble, the James Webb is in a completely different league when it comes to overall power. Unfortunately for all of us, we’ll now have to wait a while longer before we see it in action.
The new launch timeline is the result of an independent assessment of the spacecraft which cited numerous issues regarding the integration of its highly complex components. According to NASA, the individual systems are all up to snuff, but testing revealed that they don’t play together as well as they should. Given that the project carries a price tag of around $8 billion, it’s important to get everything right before sending the telescope skyward. – READ MORE[give_form id=”79809″] [contentcards url=”http://bgr.com/2018/03/27/james-webb-space-telescope-launch-date-delay/” target=”_blank”]

ALBERTA – Wednesday the Government of Alberta announced additional funds for women’s shelters. Included in this historic funding increase are targeted dollars for second-stage shelters, operational increases for emergency shelters, child trauma counselors, specialized housing & support services staff working in shelter and an increase in the fee-for-service agreements with on-reserve shelters. It’s worth highlighting that this includes, for the first time, funding for second-stage shelters: those organizations that safely support & accommodate women and children escaping violence from 6 months up to two years.
The Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) has been advocating for sustained core funding for second-stage¹ women’s shelters for more than a quarter century. Prior to today’s funding announcement, two (out of 13) second-stage shelters in Alberta received provincial government funding in the form of 30-year pilots to assess the efficacy of the second-stage model.
Safety and accommodation are two critical, interwoven needs for women and children seeking lives free from violence and abuse. Research has demonstrated that women leaving abusive relationships are at a high risk of danger of being killed by their abusive current or former partners². Our member’s work with survivors in shelter has demonstrated that families in second-stage shelters are at an even higher statistical risk of femicide.
Pressures on Alberta shelters have continued to increase over the years. With each year, shelters see more and more seniors, women and children not being able to be accommodated.
Staff at women’s shelters have been diligently tracking data to demonstrate the need for second-stage, specialized housing and supports, and programs for children. This message has now been heard.
Two-thirds of women admitted to women’s shelters are accompanied by children and over a third of the women come with two or more children. Almost half of the children admitted to women’s shelters are pre-school age, and about a third of them are under the age of three³. The new dollars to offer specialized staffing to empower children at this critical age of development is key to interrupting intergenerational cycles of abuse.
“Today’s announcement is evidence that the government of Alberta is taking a holistic approach to address violence and abuse against women by ensuring that there are an array of supports available in communities throughout the province,” said Jan Reimer, Executive Director of ACWS, “and recognizes that shelter expertise is an essential part of an informed women-centered collaborative approach.”
When Premier Notley was a member of the opposition, she raised the question in the legislature4 about the alarming number of women and children who could not be accommodated by shelters and the appropriation of new funds within Bill 3 prove that this hasn’t been forgotten. The staffing dollars for integrated case management should help decrease turn-aways (even in a limited housing market), and will allow shelter staff to focus on supporting the healing needs of women and children. There were 5,259 women and 4,946 children who walked through shelter doors in 2014-15.
Rowan House Emergency Shelter in High River is also thrilled by the news, as funding for second stage shelters has been a long time in the making.
“We are just starting our work in providing transitional housing for women leaving the short term crisis shelter and we are encouraged by this support,” said Executive Director, Sherrie Botten. “The additional dollars that are targeting programming for outreach work will also be so beneficial in our area and we’re pleased to see a commitment to children who have experienced trauma and look forward to being able to build on this specialized support we’re already providing to the families we work with.”
While the details have not been finalized yet Rowan House is hoping to have some additional monies that can be put towards the basic needs provided for women and children that come to the emergency shelter. “We currently fund raise $800,000 or 40% of our total budget,” Botten explained. “So we are hoping these extra dollars can be put towards some of this existing expense.”
Botten concluded, “This injection into the work we do with families experiencing domestic abuse and violence will not solve all the issues, but it certainly is a great start.”
About Rowan House Emergency Shelter
Rowan House is a member of the ACWS. We provide crisis intervention, long-term support and education for those affected by family violence in rural communities including High River, Okotoks, Millarville, Black Diamond, Turner Valley, Longview, Blackie, Nanton, Vulcan and Claresholm.
