Author and scholar Dara pictured with Deborah Oleshansky, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville
What is Judaism? How is antisemitism expressed in modern times? Does Holocaust education help combat antisemitism? Those are just a few of the topics author and scholar Dara Horn addressed when she visited Nashville last month. The latest in the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville’s Shine a Light on Antisemitism series featured Horn’s discussion of her latest book, “People Love Dead Jews,” a series of essays that laments both the commercialization of Jewish tragedy, and the dearth of information about the vibrancy of Jewish culture as it is lived in today’s world. And while the book’s title is provocative, Horn said that is the point. “If the title makes you uncomfortable, what’s in the book will make you even more uncomfortable.”
Horn’s theory is that by reducing Jewish history to stories about the Holocaust, Anne Frank, and the destruction of Jewish communities throughout the ages, it ignores the deeper truths about Judaism and Jewish life. “Jews in non-Jewish societies often feel the need to erase themselves in order to make other people feel comfortable.”
The origin of the book stems from a request she received from National Geographic to write about Anne Frank. At first reluctant, she eventually decided to write the piece after learning about an employee of the Anne Frank Museum who was not allowed to wear his yarmulke during work. After a four-month deliberation, the museum’s board relented. “Four months is a really, really long time,” said Horn, “And the irony escaped them that they were basically forcing a Jew to hide his identity.”
Attendees of the book club reception enjoyed light snacks and the opportunity to meet with Dara Horn.
The book works to dispel myths that she said also lead to the erasure of Jewish identity. She said family stories of names being changed at Ellis Island simply are not true. Immigrant names came from ship’s manifests and port of origin records, much like today. Horn said there is a different and very real story behind family name changes. “What we do have are court records of American Jews after the mass migrations of the ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s, and ‘50s going to court and changing their own names. And why were they changing their own names? Because of American antisemitism.”
The book’s essays are diverse but the thread that runs through them all is this idea of the lengths Jews go to fit into American culture and society. Attendee Amy Kammerman read the book following a recommendation by The Temple’s Rabbi Michael Danziger during Yom Kippur services. She said she found the book to be heavy, but also engaging. “She is so heartfelt. I would read an essay and just be pulled into it. The whole book is intense, but everyone can find something to relate to.”
In a recent article in The Atlantic, Horn wrote about her belief that Holocaust education does little to combat antisemitism. “There is no data to support the idea that it does, and it [Holocaust education] has been going on for 50 years.” She said her approach was probably not what The Atlantic editors were expecting, “I know it made them uncomfortable, but at least we started the conversation.”
Dara Horn spoke at The Temple about her latest book “People Love Dead Jews.”
It is this notion of discomfort that drove much of the discussion. When it comes to teaching about Judaism, she says the answer is built into the tradition. “What about looking at Shabbat as a way to combat antisemitism? Think of it as a political initiative, a form of social justice.” She said that inviting someone into the home to share a Shabbat meal or a Passover seder provides real life experiences and insights into Jewish life and community. “How about look at the seder as a liberation story and invite the Black community to participate.”
Attendees were inspired by Horn’s perspective and her ability to articulate what some people only think about. Heidi Allen said she was moved by Horn’s depth of knowledge of Jewish history, and her ability to articulate her ideas. “She made it accessible. I started this conversation as a scared little girl in South Carolina just wanting to fit in with everyone else. But I truly looked at things a different way after reading her book.”
Horn’s focus on the uncomfortable realities of the American Jewish experience is one that for some attendees was unexpected. Teen Cohen said, “She brings such a unique perspective to our collective history. I like the angles from which she approaches the conversation.” Cohen also appreciated Horn’s views on Holocaust education. “She shared her perspective so well and wove in her ideas related to Holocaust education, its strengths and weaknesses.”
Horn expressed her difficulty in addressing the responses from Jewish readers who want to share their own experiences with antisemitism. “It’s like this horror story litany. And the stories they’re sharing with me are not the kind of things that would end up in an ADL [Anti-defamation League] report.” She goes on to relay incidents such as people’s treatment by their mother-in-law, their employer, their boyfriend. As she calls them, private moments, that cannot be written about but cut deeply into the psyche of the Jews who experience it. “There are ways people compartmentalize these things to make excuses for it. The political piece is one of those ways, there are other ways people do it, and that is simply one of those.”
The message of the evening was not completely a dark one, however. The final question asked came from a parent of young children wanting to know how to instill a strong Jewish identity in the midst of a predominantly Christian world. Horn said the answer lies in Jewish tradition itself.
“The tradition is set up with the expectation that you’re going to be living in a non-Jewish society,” she said. “Your child is going to experience Shabbat, there’s a day where they’re not doing homework or school work…that child will hopefully in one form, or another be studying Torah. The Torah is the story of defeat after defeat after defeat, but it is also one of resilience after resilience after resilience…That child will be celebrating holidays like Passover, where they’re going to be telling stories of national liberation…They’re going to see that they’re part of this enormous 3,000 year old chain of learning what it means to be human, learning what it means to be part of a counterculture.” In short, she says, children who live a Jewish life, in whatever form their family takes, will be getting what she calls a master class in living in a pluralistic society. “When you give a child that gift, that child really is prepared.”

Jersey Mike's Expands in Greater Kansas City Metro Area
First Blue Springs Location Opens
November 25, 2014 // Franchising.com // Blue Springs, MO - Jersey Mike's Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, opened in Blue Springs on November 19 as part of expansion plans for the franchise in western Missouri as well as in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. Franchise owner Kevin Rohrbach held a grand opening and free sub fundraiser from Wednesday, November 19 to Sunday, November 23 to support the Blue Springs Education Foundation. This is the first of three locations Rohrbach plans to open in the Greater Kansas City metro area.
The new restaurant, located at 1209 N. E. Coronado Drive, circulated 10,000 coupons throughout the community offering a free regular fresh sliced sub for a minimum $1 contribution to Blue Springs Education Foundation.
"We are excited to open our doors in Blue Springs," said Rohrbach. "The Jersey Mike's philosophy is to give back to the community it serves and the Blue Springs Education Foundation is a natural charity partner for our first fundraiser because it shares the same philosophy. We are looking forward to becoming an active part of this community."
Rohrbach is an exemplary Jersey Mike's franchise owner who shares the company's commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service, and who is dedicated to giving back to the local community. Since 2010, Jersey Mike's locations throughout the country have raised nearly $10 million for worthy local charities and have distributed more than 750,000 free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
"Our expansion in this Midwest area is now in full-swing," said Mike Spiegel Sr., who was recently named Jersey Mike's Subs area director for Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and western Missouri. "Along with the Blue Springs opening and two upcoming locations in western Missouri, nine additional locations are in development in Nebraska as well as four more in the Des Moines area."
Jersey Mike's currently has two locations in Lincoln and one in Omaha, Neb., one in Clive, Iowa, two in Topeka, Kansas and one in Springfield, Mo. In addition Spiegel's son, Mike Spiegel Jr., owns one location in Olathe, Kansas.
"Jersey Mike's Subs offers a great opportunity for franchising in the Midwest," Spiegel said. "I grew up in Point Pleasant, N.J., with Peter Cancro, the company's founder and CEO, and I got through high school eating the original Mike's Subs. Jersey Mike's Subs are still made with that original recipe from 1956 but you don't have to have grown up on the beach to know an exceptional fresh-made sub when you eat one. Our resounding success here so far shows us that Midwesterners know a good thing when they taste it and we're thrilled to continue bringing our authentic Jersey Shore subs to these local communities."
Founder Peter Cancro started Jersey Mike's when he was just 17 years old, not even old enough to legally slice a sub. Today the franchise has grown to 1,300 restaurants open and under development nationwide. In just three years, the company has nearly doubled in size. Jersey Mike's was named the #1 fastest growing chain in the Nation's Restaurant News 2014 Top 100. It wins best sub awards in virtually every market it enters.
About Jersey Mike's
The growth is fueled by passionate Jersey Mike's fans who crave their subs made Mike's Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – topped off with an exquisite zing of "the juice" – red wine vinegar and olive oil blended to perfection. Jersey Mike's premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot, piled high on in-store baked bread and served up with a helping of neighborly banter from a dedicated and high-energy team.
A Jersey Mike's representative will be at the opening in Blue Springs next week to answer questions of interested franchise candidates in the area.
The restaurant's hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. You can contact this location directly at

The Agar Gun, or else called a "espresso-mill gun" because of its resemblance to the espresso mill, was invented by Wilson Agar at the start of your US Civil War. The weapon featured mechanized loading using a hand crank connected to a hopper over the weapon. The weapon showcased an individual barrel and fired throughout the turning of the same crank; it operated applying paper cartridges fitted with percussion caps and inserted into steel tubes which acted as chambers; it absolutely was for that reason functionally similar to a revolver.
The gun may be fired in one photographs or in comprehensive vehicle. To lower rate of fire to practical price, the vz.sixty one encompasses a amount reducer, that is situated from the cope with and catches the bolt within the rearward place for a little period of time once the each shot.
The introduction of the percussion cap in the nineteenth century led towards the creation of various machine guns in the United States, several of which were used within the American Civil War. In these possibly the cylinder or possibly a cluster of barrels was hand-cranked. Quite possibly the most productive was the Gatling gun, which in its later Edition included the modern cartridge, that contains bullet, propellant, and usually means of ignition.
By mid 1915, the introduction of the reliable gun synchronizer through the Imperial German Traveling Corps designed it feasible to fireplace a shut-bolt machine gun ahead through a spinning propeller by timing the firing from the gun to overlook the blades.

John Thompson Established the Auto Ordnance corp. in 1916, and began his advancement of submachine guns with the acquisition of the John Blish patent (1915), that described a delayed blowback computerized firearm. This patent explained a delayed blowback breech technique wherein a sloping steel wedge interlocked the breech block Along with the gun overall body.
The continual mother nature from the rotary motion permits an incredibly large cyclic amount of fire, generally a number of thousand rounds for each moment. Rotary guns are less susceptible to jamming than the usual gun operated by gasoline or recoil, as being the external energy supply will eject misfired rounds without any further more difficulties, but That is not possible during the unusual situations of self-run rotary guns. Rotary guns are generally used with big rounds, 20mm in diameter or even more, supplying advantages of dependability and firepower, even though the weight and size of the ability supply and driving mechanism makes them impractical for use outside of a vehicle or aircraft mount.
With about seventy five million manufactured this is easily the most made use of firearm on the globe. You can find this iconic weapon anywhere on the planet and in active use. Its Severe durability and reliability help it become a favourite among the rebels and untrained militias.

The city of Naperville is encouraging residents and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electronic items as part of the worldwide Earth Hour event taking place from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. March 23.
Sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour is a global movement designed to celebrate a commitment to the planet by switching off non-essential lights for one designated hour. Ultimately, Earth Hour aims to encourage a global community to share the opportunities and challenges of cultivating a sustainable world.
In 2012, Earth Hour took place in more than 7,000 cities and towns in 152 countries and territories across the world and involved hundreds of millions of people switching their lights off for the hour. The city will be participating and encourages individuals and area organizations to participate.
“I was so pleased that the City of Naperville has supported Earth Hour in the past and am even more pleased that we are once again showing our support for action on conserving our precious resources,” Mayor A. George Pradel said. “This is a symbolic event in which every single person can participate. Our city prides itself on being environmentally friendly, and this is one more way we can encourage our residents and businesses to care for our planet.”
Tips on energy conservation are available to view on the city’s recently updated Enviroteam webpage at www.naperville.il.us/enviroteam.aspx.

As Hooda gets down to business with a 'Maha Rally' in Gohana town on November 10 to mark his four years in office, he is already claiming that his government "has not only fulfilled its election promises but has carried out works beyond the promises made in all the areas".
Hooda, who first became chief minister in March 2005, had called assembly elections five months ahead of schedule. The Congress then managed to get only 40 seats in the 90-member assembly but Hooda formed the government by roping in independent legislators and offering them ministerial and other important berths.
"The previous tenure of the government was symbolic of social, economic and educational revolution. Now, in the four years of the present term, besides fulfilling the promises made in primary areas like agriculture, irrigation, electricity, education, health and industry, the government has also built a strong structure of modern development. Haryana has become an ideal state in the entire country in the field of education, sports and inclusive growth," Hooda claimed on completing four years in his second term.
While Hooda may claim that Haryana has become an ideal and trendsetter state, the opposition and a section of senior leaders within his Congress party refuse to toe this line.
Just a couple of days before completing four years in office, Hooda and union Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Selja, who is the Lok Sabha MP from Ambala, shared the dais for the first time in three years in the presence of a union minister at an event in Ambala district. The news here was not their sharing the dais but the verbal barbs that they traded.
Selja, Rajya Sabha MP Birender Singh, Gurgaon MP Inderjit Singh and some other leaders have been accusing Hooda of discrimination in development of their areas in the state. While Hooda has been dismissing their claims with statistics, these leaders too have not relented. These 'detractors' within the Congress seem to be playing the opposition's role.
With top opposition leaders, former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala and his son Ajay Chautala of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) behind bars after their conviction earlier this year in a teachers' recruitment scam, Hooda and his camp in the ruling Congress see a clear opportunity in winning next year's assembly election. The INLD, which was eyeing a comeback, is clearly not as formidable with the presence of the two Chautalas.
The Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) led by former chief minister Bhajan Lal's son and Hisar MP Kuldip Bishnoi, which is in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been trying its best to remain active in the Haryana hinterland but the combine has its own limitations in the state's politics that is dominated by leaders of the Jat community.
Given the present political scenario, the Hooda camp certainly thinks that the Congress has an edge to win the assembly polls. Their calculations may alter once the results of next year's general elections, likely to be held in April-May, are out.

Ethereum (ETH) and Riepple (XRP) have dramatically grown in popularity this holiday, exceeding 7% and 8% of BitPay’s transactions. For the first time, Bitcoin falls below 80% of BitPay’s transactions.
In addition, consumers this holiday are spending more on purchases when compared to other months this year (AOV up 15%). And the number of transactions processed by BitPay decreased slightly.
The majority of consumers are buying gift cards this holiday and loading their BitPay Debit Card. They’re spending at retailers that have yet to accept crypto. This increase is for day-to-day expenses for food, travel, electronics and clothing,
While Bitcoin remains the most popular crypto used by consumers for purchases (representing 79% of all transactions), EHT is 7.43% and XRP is now 8.6%. For ETH, the biggest purchases are with gift cards, computer software/gaming, electronics and precious metals. Likewise, XRP’s biggest purchase was with gift cards. And then followed by electronics, FX exchange, previous metal and online gaming.
BitPay believes the increase in the value of bitcoin, the holiday season and Covid have contributed to these results.
Mathieu is a Information technology professional with over 15 years of experience. He started one of the first bitcoin blogs existed in 2010. He started writing about, investing in bitcoin and promoting the first cryptocurrency when only a few technological savvy people knew about it. Mathieu is a world traveler who enjoys culture, technology, finance, salmon, rice and beans. He’s cool, collected and knows a great deal about blockchain technology.

Boots was born Raymond Lawrence Riley. He grew up in Oakland, California. His parents were political, working actively in the NAACP and the Progressive Labor Party and Boots wanted to carry on that tradition in art.
He went to film school at first, but eventually found his calling in hip-hop. Along with his friend E-Roc, he founded the hip-hop band The Coup in 1991.
About six years ago, Boots started working on a movie – something he’d never really done before. He started telling his friends about it, asking acquaintances in the industry for advice – sometimes he’d just corner a producer for 15 minutes. Thanks to a combination of audacity, determination, and luck, the finished product is hitting theaters next month.
The movie is called “Sorry to Bother You.” It’s set in Oakland, in kind of an alternate reality. Lakeith Stanfield stars in it. He plays Cassius Green, a black man who gets a gig doing telemarketing. It’s in that job he finds the key to success: do a dead-on impression of a white dude and magically, people listen when you call. From there, it gets weirder. There’s elements of science fiction, horror, and more and it’s out in theaters July 6.
Boots tells Jesse about the recent passing of former Coup member and DJ Pam the Funkstress, The Coup’s origin story, and why he doesn’t think art alone can start a revolution.
Roach saw the drum set as the quintessential American instrument, borrowing hand drums from Africa and the native people of North America, snares and bass drums from Europe, and cymbals from the middle east.
M’Boom embraced an international spirit – and particularly the African diaspora spirit. As an African American, Roach was aware of the way his people had been disconnected from their historical-cultural context by slavery. M’Boom was an act of reconnection.

Today I asked my young jedi "cooks", to give me list of at least 15 ways to prepare a potato. I figured why not show them how to make them the Swedish classic rosti potatoes. It's so easy and convienient it it takes is a little time a patience.Basically, these are potatoes that are shredded and pressed into a flattened pancake shape while browning in the oven.
This can be served for any meal period for the day and it goes great with eggs, beef, lamb, pork and chicken. In this recipe I will use shredded hash browns, since many fire house and private homes do not have a grater and its one less setp to worry about.
1/4 c. chopped onion
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. rosemary
3/4 c. shredded Swiss cheese (optional)

Guinn History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
- Origins Available:
The Irish name Guinn was originally written in a Gaelic form as O Cuinn, which means descendant of Conn.
Early Origins of the Guinn family
The surname Guinn was first found in county Longford (Irish: An Longfort) traditionally known as Annaly or Teffia, and situated in the Irish Midlands, in Northwest Leinster where they were Lords of Muintir Gillagain. The O'Quinns and MacQuinns (and all of the spelling variables derived from these) were descended from Conn, who in turn was descended from the Princes of Annaly.
Early History of the Guinn family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Guinn research. Another 144 words (10 lines of text) covering the years 1014, 1281, 1252, 1279, 1522, 1551, 1645, 1726, 1575, 1634, 1595, 1693, 1766 and 1676 are included under the topic Early Guinn History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Guinn Spelling Variations
Many spelling variations of the surname Guinn can be found in the archives. One reason for these variations is that ancient scribes and church officials recorded names as they were pronounced, often resulting in a single person being recorded under several different spellings. The different spellings that were found include O'Quinn, Quin, Quinn, Quine, MacQuin, MacQuinn, McQuin, McQuinn, MacCuin, Cuinn, Cuin and many more.
Early Notables of the Guinn family (pre 1700)
Notable amongst the family name at this time was Thomas O'Quinn, Bishop of Clonmacnois (1252-1279), as well as John Quinn, Bishop of Limerick (1522-1551), as well as Thady Quin (1645-1726) of Adare of the Thomond O'Quins, who was the grandfather of the first Earl of Dunraven.
Walter Quin (c. 1575-1634), was an Irish poet and preceptor of Charles I. Born in Dublin, he travelled abroad and became a cultivated writer in English, French, Italian, and...

In the United States, the name Guinn is the 2,227th most popular surname with an estimated 14,922 people with that name.
| Guinn migration to the United States ||+|
A great mass of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century, seeking relief from various forms of social, religious, and economic discrimination. This Irish exodus was primarily to North America. If the migrants survived the long ocean journey, many unfortunately would find more discrimination in the colonies of British North America and the fledgling United States of America. These newly arrived Irish were, however, wanted as a cheap source of labor for the many large agricultural and industrial projects that were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the western world. Early immigration and passenger lists indicate many people bearing the Guinn name:

Colt Whitneyville Hartford Model 1848 Dragoon Percussion Revolver AKA: Transition Walker
The Colt Whitneyville Hartford Dragoon Revolver also known as the “Transition Walker” was manufactured late in 1847. A total of only about 240 were produced. The serial numbers follow through after the civilian Colt Walker Dragoon revolver finished at 1100 through to 1340. Serial numbers are found on all major parts.
This model is rarer than the Walker Model and is often called the ‘Transition Walker’ because some of the parts were left over from the Walker. It is in .44 caliber revolver, weighs 4 pounds and 2 ounces and has a 7½ inch part round and part octagonal barrel. The barrel was blued with casehardened frame, hammer and loading lever. The grip-straps are found either in brass or steel with brass trigger-guard. The six shot cylinder was roll engraved with the Texas Ranger and Comanche Indian fight scene and left “in the white”. The revolver was furnished with one-piece ‘Slim Jim’ walnut grips.
The barrel address usually reads ‘ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW-YORK CITY’ but variations are known. The ‘COLT/PATENT’ stamping on earl models forms an oval on the right side of the frame. On later models ‘COLT/PATENT/U.S.’ is usually stamped on the left side of the frame. There are two major variations on the frame of the Whitneyville Hartford Dragoon revolver. The early models retain the cutout at the rear of the frame which fits the curved portion of the grips, as on the Walker and the later models have the straight-back frame as on later Dragoon revolvers. The trigger and cylinder stop screw are shorter than on later Dragoons and do not pass completely through the frame meaning that the screw heads are not visible from the right side of the frame.
For in-depth reference on Colt Dragoon revolvers see ‘The Book of Colt Firearms- 3rd Edition’ by R.L. Wilson.

Last October, a study was released as part of the North Lake Shore Drive redesign process that found Chicagoans ranked the creation of separate paths for walking and biking on the Lakefront Trail as their top priority for improving the shoreline. That same month, the Chicago Department of Transportation and the Chicago Park District kicked off the Fullerton Revetment project, a step in the right direction towards that goal.
The initiative is building 5.8 acres of new parkland along the lake, which will allow for the partial separation of pedestrian and bike routes at a spot that’s currently a bottleneck. The main goal of the $31.5 million endeavor, funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the city, and the park district, is to replace the crumbling seawall as part of the larger Chicago Shoreline Protection Project, which launched in 2000. Since then, 19 of the 23 segments of that 9.5-mile, $500 million project have been completed, according to city officials.
The Fullerton initiative includes widening the strip of parkland along the Lakefront Trail by as much as several hundred feet via infill, creating a brand-new hump of land that’s sure to be a hit with sunbathers. The work will also pave the way for the renovation of the Theater on the Lake, a former tuberculosis sanatorium that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised to turn into a year-round destination for arts and culture.
Infill and revetment construction is slated for completion by November 30, and landscaping should be done by summer of 2016. Yesterday, CDOT engineer Carlene Walsh, the Fullerton project manager, and Steven Miskowicz from the R.M. Chin and Associates, which is overseeing construction, led a tour of the worksite. The general contractor is Walsh Construction – no relation to Ms. Walsh.
Right now, the area that will be the new land resembles a tropical lagoon. Workers are driving corrugated steel pilings as much as 45 feet into the lakebed to create a wavy wall of metal that will hold the infill in place, similar to what was recently done to create new land for the Chicago Riverwalk extension. A causeway of rock and gravel has been built to provide access for the heavy equipment used to install the metal enclosure.
The resulting “bayou,” currently occupied by water that’s a milky turquoise due to sediment, will be filled in with 80,000 cubic yards of rocks and sand. The rocks include special “armor stone” that will be shipped in from Wisconsin, but the sand will be dredged from the lake floor southeast of North Avenue Beach’s hook-shaped pier, starting in about a month.
The Lakefront Trail south of Fullerton has been buffeted by waves in the past, and its asphalt usually needs to be replaced in the spring after rough winter conditions. The revetment project includes various strategies to deflect the waves and manage stormwater, so the path won’t be swamped in the future. The new concrete, stairstep-shaped seawall, which will run for about 1,700 feet will include a lower promenade six feet above the standard lake level, with the top of the revetment rising to 14 feet above the standard level.
From there, the land beyond the seawall will slope to a 16-foot ridge, which means that waves and rain on the lake side of the ridge will wash back into the lake. Water that lands on the other side of the ridge will be diverted to a drainage system that will lead back into the lake, so it won’t wind up in the city’s already-overtaxed stormwater system.
Since an old segment of the Lakefront Trail south of Fullerton lies within the construction zone, a temporary detour path was built last year on higher ground immediately next to Lake Shore Drive. After construction, the new bike trail routing will take cyclists further east, and farther away from the intersection of Fullerton Avenue and off- and on-ramps for the highway, which currently creates a chaotic “mixing bowl” situation. However, there will be access paths from Fullerton to the main trail.
In keeping with current park district standards, the new paved trail will have three-foot soft-surface running paths on either side, so pedestrians won't be discouraged from using it. However, to give walkers and joggers the option of avoiding two-wheeled traffic, there will be an unpaved path to west of the bike trail, south of Fullerton. This soft path will run for about 600 feet, only about half the length of the project, before ending at a turnaround at Fullerton.
“We only have a certain footprint to work with, and the pedestrian path would have to terminate into an existing path at some point anyway,” said Walsh. “We’ve done what we could for this project, but we’ll keep [the separation goal] in mind in the future.”
However, a glance at the plans for the project suggests that it wouldn’t have been difficult to find room to extend the soft path further north. This seems like a missed opportunity to provide more separation between pedestrians and cyclists. It's a fairly minor quibble with a project that promises to be a fine addition to our beautiful lakefront.

Microsoft on Tuesday announced the Surface Go, the newest addition to its family of Surface-branded computers and laptops. It's the cheapest of the bunch — it starts at $399 — and is targeted directly at the Apple iPad and a crop of affordable Chromebooks running Google software.
I had a chance to check one out during a quick product briefing with Microsoft.
I like the smaller 10-inch design and that Microsoft mostly kept the same familiar form factor as earlier Surface tablets, complete with a kickstand that pops out from the back of the tablet. I've found the kickstand usually works well, although it's hard to keep on my lap.
I also like that it can be connected to a full computer display and used more like a traditional computer, which you can't do with an iPad.
The $399 starting price gets you a bare-bones model with just 64 GB of storage, which isn't much, but there's a slot for adding additional storage in the back of the computer. Microsoft still doesn't include a keyboard or one of its Surface Pen styluses, so expect to spend a couple of hundred dollars more for those if you want more than the bare-bones touch-screen experience.
I'm a bit torn on the size. It's small, with a 10-inch screen, and has big bezels — the areas around the screen — which means it's not nearly as attractive as an iPad.
Also, the keyboard seemed a little cramped during my brief hands-on with the Surface Go, though on a par with what I've used with an iPad Pro.
That said, the screen looked sharp and wasn't cheap, as one might sometimes find in more affordable laptops.
Short of a full review, which will come closer to when the Surface Go hits the market on Aug. 2, I think the Surface Go hits a lot of areas that I think Microsoft needed to address against Apple's low-cost iPad.
It's the first Surface product that's priced competitively with an iPad or Chromebook — the larger Surface laptops start at $799 — it's designed to run all Windows apps (save for high-powered ones, given it operates on a relatively low-power Intel Pentium Gold chip), and some models will include built-in LTE for a connection wherever you go.
It's too early to call this a winner for Microsoft. It'll need to be able to perform well and run multiple apps at the same time, and battery life will be a concern given its tiny form factor. (Microsoft says it should run up to nine hours.) The Surface Go looks promising, though.

Based on two case studies, this chapter studies the articulation between sustainable innovations and territories. Using the conventionalist approach, and in particular the idea of the sustainability convention, this chapter analyses the territorial, economic and social dynamics of sustainable innovations in Western Switzerland’s photovoltaic industry and sustainable finance. The main result is that, contrary to ‘classical milieus’ where the innovative efforts are mainly on the supply side, sustainable innovations redefine considerably the relations with consumers, users and even citizens. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the concept of innovative milieu and its cognitive, financial and discursive aspects.

As an introduction to this book, this chapter provides insights on the evolution of innovation patterns, and in particular when dealing with sustainable issues. It highlights the relationship between territory and sustainable innovations and identifies the relationships that such innovations (re)build with territory, as well as the forms of localization that they induce. It presents the four dimensions of sustainable innovation identified in the case studies presented in the following chapters: product, institutional, territory and flagship dimensions. Finally the chapter concludes with some considerations on the innovative milieu concept in regard to the present context of innovation and territorial development.

This introductory chapter treats four issues: general relationships between social capital and space; what regional development is; the importance of social capital for regional development; and a summary of the other chapters. The first section contains a discussion on the relationships between social capital and space, distance, barriers and spatial hierarchies on how social capital is affected by, but also has an impact on these phenomena. The next section deals with and problematizes the question of what regional development is in forms of economic outcomes, well-being and various aspects of sustainability. Based on the view that social capital is created in all sectors of society as well as between them, the third section discusses which forms of social capital are most important for regions’ development. One important conclusion is that ‘maximum’ social capital seldom is the best solution. Instead, the best social capital for regional development can be described as optimum combinations of homogeneity and heterogeneity, bonding and bridging links and different ‘vintages’ of networks, norms and values. Finally, the chapters of the book are summarized.

The Mediclinic Cape Town near Oranjezicht is closed to new patients after 25 people have been infected with the coronavirus.
“After health professionals and other hospital service providers tested positive for the virus, nearly 300 others, who may have been in contact with them, were also tested. Most of these tests were negative.
Of the 25 tested positive, 14 are nursing staff, Dr. Stefan Smuts, chief clinical officer of Mediclinic Southern Africa, said.
He says the tests will be extended until everyone is tested on site – including all patients, doctors, staff and service providers.
According to him, procedures to control the outbreak will be done from Monday to Friday, May 29.
“During this time tests will be done and the hospital will be disinfected. Except for emergencies, no new recordings will be accepted. ”
Smuts said all involved would be in insolation until they fully recovered. Arrangements have been made for the safe isolation of staff members who need accommodation.
He said the hospital group acted quickly to limit the risk. The rules for the prevention and control of infections by the National Institute of Communicable Diseases and the World Health Organization are strictly adhered to.
“We want to reassure the community that there are procedures for exposing staff.”
According to him, all staff members have the necessary protective clothing and equipment to protect them from contamination.
“All areas considered a risk are cleaned and disinfected.”

Wasp Stings and Muscle and Joint Pain
Wasps are insects that belong to the order Hymenoptera, which also includes bees and ants. There are over 30,000 identified species of wasps worldwide, with some being solitary while others are social and live in colonies. While wasps play an important role in the ecosystem, they can pose a health risk to humans if provoked. Their stings are painful and for some, potentially dangerous. This article explores the link between wasp stings and muscle and joint pain.
How Wasp Stings Cause Pain
When a wasp stings, it injects a venomous mixture of chemicals including histamine, serotonin, phospholipases A1 and A2, mellitin, apamin, and mastoparan. These compounds work together to cause an immediate burning pain and itching sensation. Histamine in particular triggers inflammation and dilation of blood vessels at the sting site, leading to swelling, redness, and warmth. The other proteins and enzymes act to damage cells and nerve endings, exacerbating pain.
Within minutes to hours, the immune system responds to the sting by releasing inflammatory mediators. These include things like prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines, and chemokines. An inflammatory response is triggered bringing white blood cells to the area to fight any toxins or pathogens. While meant to be protective, this excessive inflammation can itself cause discomfort. The swelling and inflammation from multiple stings or a single sting to a sensitive area like the throat can potentially obstruct breathing and require emergency care.
For most people, wasp sting reactions resolve within a few hours as the venom is metabolized and the inflammation subsides. However, in those who are allergic, much more severe systemic reactions can occur, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Even for non-allergic individuals, the venom toxins can occasionally cause damage that leads to persistent pain lasting days or weeks.
Muscle Pain after Wasp Stings
It is certainly possible for wasp stings to initiate muscle pain that lingers after the initial sting response has resolved. This occurs because venom components like phospholipase A2 break down cell membranes and leak into muscle fibers. The resulting damage can disrupt muscle contractions and cause muscle spasms and cramping.
There are a few mechanisms by which wasp venom might cause ongoing muscle pain:
- Direct damage to muscle cells leads to the release of compounds like bradykinin that activate pain nerve fibers. This can cause a deep aching pain.
- Toxins provoke persistent spasm and tightening of muscle groups, which can feel painfully tense.
- Inflammation irritates muscle nociceptors, the specialized nerve fibers that detect pain. This amplifies normal muscle soreness.
- Swelling compresses muscles and contributes to painful spasms.
- Dead or damaged muscle tissue releases compounds that stimulate pain nerves.
Muscle pain from wasp stings tends to arise within the first 1-2 days and may involve throbbing, tenderness, and difficulty using the affected muscle. Pain is often worse with movement or contraction of the muscle. The legs are most commonly affected after wasp stings, as people are often stung on the feet or lower legs while walking through areas where wasps are active. Stings on the hands, arms, or face can also lead to painful inflammation of the underlying musculature.
Joint Pain after Wasp Stings
Like muscles, joints can also develop pain after one or more wasp stings in their vicinity. This occurs through similar mechanisms as post-sting muscle pain:
- Wasp venom chemicals directly irritate nerve fibers in joint tissues like the synovial membrane lining the joint cavity. This contributes to throbbing soreness.
- Swelling spreads into the joint capsule and compresses nerve endings, exacerbating pain. It also leads to uncomfortable tightness and stiffness.
- Inflammation activates joint pain nerves, causing generalized aching.
- Movement of the joint stretches and pulls on inflamed, swollen tissue, heightening soreness.
Joint pain typically starts 1-3 days after a wasp sting around the joint. It may be described as a dull ache with tenderness that worsens with movement or weight-bearing. Like muscle pain, joint pain often resolves gradually over a week as the inflammation clears. But if the reaction was severe or the person is prone to joint problems, pain can linger for several weeks.
The joints most prone to secondary pain after wasp stings are the knees, wrists, fingers, ankles, and toes. Stings on the hands or feet are common when accidentally disturbing wasp nests or when wasps land on these exposed areas. Having an existing arthritis condition seems to predispose some people to prolonged joint pain flares after insect stings.
Treating Muscle and Joint Pain from Wasp Stings
Treatment for muscle and joint discomfort resulting from wasp stings focuses on relieving inflammation and pain. Options may include:
- Topical creams like hydrocortisone to reduce swelling and itching around stings. Oral antihistamines like Benadryl can also help with itching.
- Oral NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin to alleviate inflammation and pain.
- Cold compresses applied to the affected area to ease swelling.
- Warm baths or showers to soothe muscles and joints.
- Massage and gentle stretching to relax tense muscles.
- Elevating the area above heart level to limit swelling.
- Pain medications like acetaminophen for severe muscle aches.
- Avoiding use and strain on painful joints and muscles as much as possible.
- Patience for the natural healing process, as most residual pain resolves spontaneously within 1-2 weeks.
Seeking prompt medical care after multiple stings or signs of anaphylaxis. Epinephrine, steroids, and fluids may be needed.
For recurrent problems with muscle or joint pain after insect stings, consulting an allergist is recommended. They can test for venom hypersensitivities and may recommend immunotherapy, where small doses of venom are regularly injected to increase tolerance and reduce reactions.
Preventing Wasp Stings
The best approach is to avoid encounters with wasps and hornets as much as possible, especially if you have known allergies or have experienced severe reactions previously. Prevention tips include:
- Wearing shoes outdoors, as well as gloves when gardening or doing outdoor work.
- Applying insect repellent if spending time in areas where wasps are active.
- Being cautious around overripe fruit, trash cans, food stands, and places where drinks are consumed outdoors.
- Thoroughly checking areas before sitting down outside.
- Avoiding food fragrances, perfumes, and scented products outdoors.
- Staying calm and moving slowly if a wasp approaches. Avoid sudden movements.
- Getting rid of wasp nests on or near your home. Calling a professional exterminator is best to avoid multiple stings.
- Knowing if you have venom allergy and carrying epinephrine in case of anaphylaxis.
In summary, while wasp stings induce a characteristic sharp pain, the venom components can occasionally cause lingering soreness in muscles and joints near the sting site. This residual pain is due to inflammatory mediators damaging tissue and irritating pain nerve fibers. While discomfort usually resolves in 1-2 weeks, severe reactions can result in more chronic pain requiring medical treatment. With caution and prompt first aid if stung, the after-effects of wasp stings can be minimized. Being aware of the potential for delayed muscle and joint discomfort can help patients and doctors better manage this unpleasant complication.
