PMH Vaccine Clinic Rescheduled Due to Inclement Weather
February 18, 2021
Due to inclement weather on the east coast, Prosser Memorial Health’s allocation of the Moderna vaccine has not yet shipped. This shipment was designated for the community vaccine clinic scheduled for this Saturday, February 20th.
As a result, we have rescheduled the community vaccine clinic for NEXT Saturday, February 27 from 8 am – 4pm. If you have an appointment scheduled for this Saturday, February 20, you will keep your same appointment time for next Saturday, February 27.
In regard to the maximum window to receive your second vaccine refer them to the CDC website:
Persons age 18 years and older should receive 2 doses at least 28 days apart.
Second doses administered up to 4 days before the recommended date (24 or more days after first dose) are considered valid. However, doses administered earlier do not need to be repeated.
Second doses should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible.
Do not use the grace period to schedule appointments for the second dose.
There is no maximum interval between the first and second dose.
Both doses should be Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
The safety and efficacy of a mixed-product series have not been evaluated. Both doses of the series should be completed with the same product. However, if 2 doses of different mRNA COVID-19 vaccine products are inadvertently administered, no additional doses of either product are recommended at this time.
Administer the vaccine series alone. Do not administermRNA COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines, and wait a minimum interval of 14days before or after administration of any other vaccine.
If mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are inadvertently administered within 14 days of another vaccine, doses do not need to be repeated for either vaccine.
For more information, please call Prosser Memorial Health Chief Communications Officer Shannon Hitchcock at our dedicated COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic number, 509.788.6035 or email email@example.com. Additional COVID-19 resources can be found on our website at prosserhealth.org.

Excerpt: NBA Ballers Chosen One on the Sony Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 comes to us from our good friends at Midway. This is an arcade style basketball game in the vein of NBA Jam (editor: for those that go back a few years). Plenty of NBA talent is included from a diverse array of time. No worries though as there are a lot of current players in this video game. After the NBA Finals players get together to participate in challenges to see who will be the Chosen One.
Conclusion: IF looking for a good basketball game get any old 2k sports NBA game for a cheap B-ball game, and the 2k6 generation games for really quick and easy 1000k GS. DO NOT PLAY! It will only decrease your achievement unlock ratio and leave you with either a broken controller or a very "unclean feeling" for having wasted your time and sanity.
Conclusion: In the audio front, the play-by-play commentary
from Chuck D is pretty good and we’re just glad
that he doesn’t repeat the script too often. The
sound effects fair better than most street ball
games out there but the musical piece is
somewhat subdued. It looks like the developer
has channeled most of their efforts into the
action on the court, leaving the audio anemities
with a few good soundtracks. Needless to say,
NBA Ballers: Chosen One is a solid basketball
Summary: Parents need to know that that this is a very stripped down version of basketball featuring one-on-one or at most two-on-two games that only subtly resemble basketball. Fouls are only called for major offenses and the focus is more on doing tricks to fool your opponent rather than on team play. The sometimes over-glamorized world of professional sports is present here, but at a much lesser degree than one would expect from a game titled as this.
Summary: Midway has done an excellent job with NBA Ballers: The Chosen One. Did it make me want to sell my Genesis and the original NBA JAM? No. I enjoy the Ballers franchise but with the inclusion of the Street Series I really have no preference of one over the other. While this is a great game in and of itself I would love to see Midway return to its roots and bring us a better formatted version that includes the NBA JAM stylings as I can’t see much more being added to this...
Excerpt: First Impressions My reaction is EA Sports and Midway take turns year in and year out in bringing us street basketball games. This year it is Midway’s turn with NBA Ballers: Chosen One. As far as history goes, the NBA Street series by EA Sports have been beating on Midway’s effort for years now.

- With this programme the company diversifies its short term funding sources and complements the bond programme registered in MARF last February
- MARF has been a capital raising vehicle for 44 companies, of which 28 have come back to the market to register new programmes or bond issues
The Mercado Alternativo de Renta Fija (MARF), a BME’s market, has registered a new commercial paper programme by Jorge Pork Meat with a total value of €75 million, marking a come-back for the company as it seeks to diversify its short term funding sources and complement the bond programme it registered in MARF last February. Under this new programme and over the next 12 months Grupo Jorge will be able to launch commercial paper issues in a flexible way with maturities ranging between 3 days and 2 years. The characteristics of each individual issue tranche will be determined during their placement and issuance among qualified investors.
Banca March is acting as the programme’s Global Coordinator and Placement Entity and is also Jorge Pork Meat’s Registered Advisor. The issuer’s legal advisor has been J&A Garrigues.
Founded in 1936 in Zaragoza Grupo Jorge is one of the largest meat groups in Spain and the leading national exporter in the pork sector, with sales in 2017 amounting to 995 million euros, EBITDA of 90 million and customers in nearly 80 countries.
Since its creation in 2013 by BME, MARF has supported 44 companies (including project bond issuers) in their capital raising processes. Of these, 28 have tapped the market for a second time to register new programmes or bond issues after their first access to the market.

With one awkward landing, the Milwaukee Bucks and the NBA have the longest “wait and see” that they’ve had in quite some time.
The Bucks seemed to have figured out the Atlanta Hawks entering game four of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo finally realized that he can’t be stopped down low, and Atlanta’s Trae Young was held out of game four due to an ankle injury suffered in game three.
Atlanta came out the gate not yet ready to throw in the towel, building a 13-point lead at halftime, eventually taking game four 110-88. For the Bucks, the effort was disappointing but not the end of the world.
A major injury to Antetokounmpo would be.
With a little over seven minutes left in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo landed awkwardly on his left leg as he contested an alley-oop, causing his knee to buckle grotesquely.
Giannis appears to have injured his leg.
Prayers up 🙏 pic.twitter.com/cHZXCIsBEd
— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) June 30, 2021
Antetokounmpo screamed in pain and stayed on the floor for several minutes as players from both teams surrounded him. Eventually, he was helped to his feet before walking off the court with a noticeable limp and the Hawks went on to even the series at two games apiece.
“It just looked like their legs got tangled up,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “They both landed awkwardly. That’s what I saw live. I haven’t seen anything else.”
Everything seemed to be falling into place for the Bucks. After two seasons of playoff disappointment, the Bucks finally seemed poised to break through for their first trip to the NBA Finals since the 1973-1974 season. They were able to catch the Brooklyn Nets at the right time — James Harden and Kyrie Irving were unable to stay healthy enough to help Kevin Durant — and the Philadelphia 76ers completely collapsed in the second round.
But all of the sudden, all that good fortune is hanging by a thread.
The Bucks will await the results of an MRI on Wednesday to better understand the severity of Antetokounmpo’s injury. Right now, they’re calling it a hyperextended left knee.
The Association nervously waits as well.
The NBA playoffs have been decimated by injuries. Many — like LeBron James – have pointed to the shortened offseason and condensed schedule as to why we have seen an increase in the injuries to stars, but more than a few have been due to freak accidents.
Irving stepped on Antetokounmpo’s foot in the second round, Young stepped on a referee’s foot in game three of the Eastern Conference Finals, and Antetokounmpo simply landed poorly on Tuesday night.
Regardless, the playoffs haven’t been the same without the stars on the floor.
According to Tommy Beer of Forbes, “If Giannis is unable to play in Game 5, only one (Paul George) of the 15 players named to the First, Second and Third Team All-NBA this season would still be alive in the playoffs and have appeared in each of his team’s games this postseason.”
If Giannis is unable to play in Game 5, only one (Paul George) of the 15 players named to the First, Second and Third Team All-NBA this season would still be alive in the playoffs and have appeared in each of his team’s games this postseason.
Just a brutally taxing season.
— Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) June 30, 2021
As the NBA Finals approach, the obvious hope is that Antetokounmpo’s injury isn’t major and that the two-time MVP is able to make it back in time to help the Bucks in their series against Atlanta. But looking at the replay of the injury, it doesn’t look good.
“I don’t want to speak for him,” Budenholzer said. “I know just historically it’s impossible to keep him off the court. It’s impossible to keep him away from his teammates, keep him away from his team. So my guess is he probably wants to play and trying to play, and if not, let his teammates know that he’s there for them.”
The NBA can’t afford another devastating injury to a star, but it certainly seems more than likely that they’ll have another one to work around one soon.

It's still 80 or so degrees here in Chicago during the daytime in the early weeks of September.
The time where you are ready for fall and all it brings (sweaters, warm drinks, snuggling, comfort food), but hanging on to those summer moments and feelings.
Here's a soup that will perfectly bridge both seasons.
A household favorite for any season.
What You Need:
1 can of Campbell's Condensed Cheese Soup
Milk, for the soup
1/2 pound ground beef, cooked(amount varies on your taste and likes)
1 small onion, diced
1-2 small to medium tomatoes, diced
Lettuce, ripped into bite size pieces
The amounts described above result in 4 bowls of soup. You can easily double this recipe. Trust me--you'll want to.
Grab a large pot and put it on the stove-top on low heat.
Empty the contents of the condensed cheese soup into the pot. On Campbell's, they ask you to pour milk in the empty soup can and add that to your pot, so that's exactly what you're going to do. Whisk to combine.
Grab a saute pan and cook your ground beef and onion, draining any extra grease.
Once meat and onions are cooked, add to the pot of cheese soup. At this point in time, you can add the diced tomatoes.
Let cook for a couple minutes till everything is heated through.
Now it's time to eat.
If you are a fan of the lettuce (and you should be), place some ripped up pieces in the bottom of your bowl. Like this:
I've found that if you add the lettuce to the soup itself, it becomes way too soggy and not very appetizing. Reheating the soup with the lettuce in it is equally not as good, so try to avoid it!
Once you've got your lettuce, add in the soup. Mix in the bowl itself to distribute the lettuce throughout.
Serve by itself or with some fries on the side.
Here's to a whole new spin on the "cheeseburger and fries" deal. Enjoy!

Premier Robert Fico listed these priorities at a press conference and also announced that the Manifesto will be up for debate in Parliament on Monday April 18.
“It’s especially the fight against unemployment which contains ambitious goals that have been embraced by the new governing coalition,” PM said. “There’s a goal to create 100,000 new jobs and squeeze the unemployment rate under 10 percent. These objectives are ambitious, but also absolutely realistic. I also welcome the fact that we've agreed on introducing stricter conditions for those who do not want to work, avoid opportunities to find jobs and rely on the social system of our country instead.”
The second broad priority concerns regional disparities, according to Fico. “It is true that we’ll continue implementing the law of the least developed districts adopted as of November 1, 2015. We’ve planned five away-from-home sessions for the government by mid-August when we want to approve the remaining 11 action plans for the least developed districts,” Fico said, as quoted by the TASR newswire. “The coalition partners – Smer, Slovak National Party (SNS), Most-Híd and Sieť/Network – want to extend the scope of this law to other districts, too.” He added that the cabinet also appointed a proxy for implementing this law. Furthermore, the four-member governing coalition has pledged to narrow the scope for corruption and non-transparent behaviour, including adoption of an even more efficient law on shell companies. They are also committed to writing the entire Rule of Law initiative as presented by employers into the Manifesto and into an action plan; while also applying the principles of open government.
“Although we don’t have a constitutional majority, we want to return to the legislation on proving the origin of one’s property with a view toward adopting a new constitutional law, thereby breaking down the barriers set up by the Constitutional Court in its earlier decision,” the premier said. “Furthermore, we want to focus on the receiving and providing of unethical benefits, as well as on material accountability of people dealing with public resources. We’ll extend the system of mandatory publication of contracts, introduce anti-corruption clauses into drafts of individual laws, while the process of introducing more professionals into the state administration and defining the scope for political nominations will also continue.”
The fourth area is a well-functioning state.” Here we’ve focused mainly on education and health care,” Fico summed up. “And… I hereby announce that we have the ambition to put a total of €2 billion more into the Slovak education system from 2016-20.” According to Fico, the first moves of new Health Minister Tomas Drucker have confirmed his trust in him. The PM also slammed the media image of health care which allegedly does not reflect the reality because a “huge amount of work” has already been done in this sector.
SaS: Let us see how it’s implemented
The opposition Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party in its initial criticism of the Government Manifesto said the proof will be in the pudding – that the main pitfall of the Manifesto will lie in its implementation. “Based on previous experiences, we have to declare that political parties have learned to draft government manifestos that look pleasing to the eye on the surface,” reads the statement published April 13 as quoted by TASR. “Unfortunately, they haven’t yet learnt to govern in compliance with them.” The liberals claim that the single-party government of Smer (2012-16) also had noble sounding plans for fighting corruption in its manifesto, yet the subsequent reality did not correspond with the document. “It also had plans to combat tax evasion and fraud, yet the current case of entrepreneur Ladislav Bašternák demonstrates that this fight was applied selectively,” according to SaS. “Therefore, we take the current proclamations of the fight against corruption and tax evasion in the Manifesto with a large grain of salt.” SaS concedes that some of the proposals and goals in the Manifesto sound promising, such as those in the sphere of education, the attempt to reform health care, to introduce guidelines for political nominations and strive to professionalize the state administration.
However, the liberals also harbour fundamental objections. “We see the plan to acquire a balanced public budget by 2020 as a cheap trick, used by the future government to cover its inability to consolidate public finances by 2018 – as promised,” SaS opines. “Also, the reduction of income tax for companies to 21 percent is absolutely inadequate and works to erode the competitiveness of Slovakia within the Visegrad Group (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia). We see no sensible reason to wait with the scrapping of tax licences until 2018.”
Although the governing coalition talks about the intention to improve the business environment, its tendencies to introduce a special levy for chain stores, special incentives for spa businesses and attempts to increase the share of Slovak groceries on the domestic market are counterproductive and lead to discrimination and protectionism.
Columnist: No trace of real reforms, mere cosmetics
The Government Manifesto is a nice piece of literature full of good resolutions but “there is no trace of real reforms which this country needs”, columnist Peter Schutz wrote for the Sme daily. To reduce the tax for legal entities by one percent or to slash tax licences “are merely cosmetic changes”, according to him. And he deems the postponement of a balanced budget to 2020 “a fiscal putsch”, heralding loosened budgetary ethics and the continuity of brining the electorate. This conflict of the intention of “budgetary discipline” and its postponement in two years evokes caution also in other parts which can cause less criticism, Schutz sums up.
In the foreign orientation, he misses the listing of Russia among security threats. Schutz finds the “joint European insurance against unemployment” extremely funny – sheer science fiction.

2011 DCSB TRD OR
A week old. Just put new Goodyear duratracs 265/75 R16
Factory TRD Bilsteins with sway bar...getting ready to replace
Just purchased OME lift with 886 coils and Dakar CS 047 leafs
Kit was installed solo, with the help of bottle jack that came with truck
886's and new shocks. I had a tire/suspension shop compress the springs and mount to shocks. It was well worth the 40.00.
OME lift installed
Stubbs welding HD SKO weld on sliders. These sliders were around 350.00. Excellent product!!! Had a friend of mine powder coat them for 50.00!!! I can't say enough good things about this product. Spoke the the owner Richard over the phone, and helped me a great deal with product choice. He didn't try to sell up, with his most expensive slider.
I had Demello offroad weld on the sliders. Jason charged me a fair price, and was very helpful with all my questions. He had it out of his shop in a couple hours!!
The weld tabs on these sliders are all cut with various angles which strengthens the weld when compared to standard right angle tabs
The sliders tuck neatly under the truck, and gap was uniform.
New ARB bullbar plate bumper with fog lights
Trip to mammoth. Testing out the OME suspension with ARB bull bar
After testing out the OME suspension I felt more of an upgrade was needed. The front shocks were too bouncy on the highway, and took hits too hard when off-road. This is not to say that the suspension was bad....it was a tremendous improvement over stock. I just wanted more. I opted for the extended travel Icon 2.5 shocks with Camburg 1.25" uniball upper control arms. Downtravel of suspension is more important when off-roading to maintain traction, rather than putting a ridiculous lift with no articulation left in the suspension.
When I installed the UCA's.... directions stated I needed to trim part of the inner fender well back. I decided to cut it with tin snips and make a tab which I could bend back in place after putting the long bolt through.
I set the shocks with 2" of thread showing, which is the max recommended height for the standard shock. Since these were the extended travel version I didn't notice a deterioration in ride quality. These shocks are a complete night and day difference from any shock I've ever used. Can't be emphasized enough...awesome!!
Ride height with Icons at 2" and Dakar leafs that give a lift of 2.75". Dakars will eventually sag....I am told.

48 countries and 350 competitors are currently competing in the KBC Laser Radial Worlds (Youth and Men’s 2016 World Championships) which are being held in Dun Laoghaire Harbour from 23rd to 30th July.
The event is being hosted by The Royal St. George Yacht Club and Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company and supported by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and Fáilte Ireland.
A Laser is a single-handed racing dinghy. It is a single-handed Olympic class boat for both men and women and is sailed at national and international levels. With over 200,000 boats, it is the world’s most popular adult and youth racing sailboat.
Canada, Hong Kong, Russia, Singapore, Uruguay, the USA and New Zealand are among the 140 countries all competing for the championship. Among them is a team of 40 Irish sailors, many of which will have ambitions to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
“There are some very strong teams, like the Portuguese and the Australians, but we’ve also got some very strong Irish sailors. And we’re sailing on home waters, so hopefully we can do very well,” says David Kelly, Chairman, KBC Laser Radial Worlds, speaking to Council.ie.
The event is also expected to bring €2.5m to the local economy, and organisers hope this huge sporting occasion will put Dún Laoghaire Harbor firmly on the map as an International sailing destination.
“We’ve also organised three other major events in Dún Laoghaire – the Optimist class European championships, Laser Class championships, as well as International Youth championships. The International Laser Association picked Dún Laoghaire – what you’re looking for is expertise, and the ability to run the event, which the local clubs provide. It takes a a lot of organising. The Dún Laoghaire Council have provided a great deal of support as well.”
1,000 supporters and volunteers are involved in helping to host the event. This is the first time this world championship will be sailed in Irish waters, following Canada in 2015 and Poland in 2014.
“It’s going very well. We’re having 12 races over six days, and so far it’s’ been a complete success, although the weather was a bit rough today!”
The championship continues until Saturday, and people are encouraged to come down and lend their support to the Irish team.

Some people may have already seen this, as I posted it on the Scalescenes Facebook page last week. I've just entered the staircase part of it into Round 4 of the See It/Make It Challenge, so I've reposted it here on RMWeb in case anyone was interested in how I went about adapting the kit.
OK, so this is my N-Gauge reworking of the LY02 Canal Wharf built into an A5 boxfile. Here's a brief summary of how I went about it. I'll also share a few of the "complications" that I faced along the way. I started off by printing the kit at 52% scaling, to give a rough conversion to N-Scale.
Following the instructions, I cut out the wharf base layers and fitted these to the boxfile. It turns out that an A5 boxfile is proportionally larger than its A4 sibling. Not a problem though, I simply printed off an extra section of wharf to fill the extra 2" of width. I then kitbashed a 2" wide warehouse using the base layers for "structure A" (the stone building) and textures from the T026a Factory. I continued building, hoping that I'd overcome the biggest hurdle. But no. The side walls of the boxfile are the same height as the A4 version. This means that Structure B (the white building) doesn't fit.
This received extensive modification to realign the green doors to the edge of the boxfile, rather than sitting on it. The frontage of the building has been shifted about a ¼" to the left. Every single piece of the kit needed modifying to make it fit. Even then, the clearance between the structure and the far track is very close. The bridge has been stretched to account for the extra 2" depth of the boxfile (something that I should've spotted earlier in the build). Obviously this allowed me to have a much wider canal area.
Structure C (red brick) went together without any real headaches. Unfortunately it was too deep for my wharf base and hung over the water! This was resolved by adding a small extension to the front of the wharf. I'm pretty proud of that bit because it doesn't look out of place.
If I was to make it again, I would extend the entire wharf forward by about 2cm to improve clearances and also make the entry under the bridge at least a cm wider to allow a bit of breathing room
The extra piece of towpath at the front right of the boxfile is made from the canal lock in T018 Narrow boats.
Lifebelt and wharf bollards are from Langley Models.
Windows are a mix of Brassmasters, Scaleglaze and Sticky Labels.
Fencing is the recommended Ratio 246 and boat detailing is TB1 solid 1.4mm tube from Squires.
Foliage/Buddleia is homemade from scatters.
Light Card is the printout stuck to another sheet of 100gsm paper, Medium card is Cornflake Packet, Heavy is 2 layers of cornflake packet.
Glue used was Roket Card Glue.
I think that covers everything , but if anyone has any questions I'm happy to help.

Paid for by Hogan for Ohio, Timothy Steitz, Treasurer, P.O. Box 59, Powell, OH 43065
The son of a FBI agent and an elementary school teacher, I began life in suburban Chicago, later growing up in both Alexandria, Virginia and Buffalo. College, grad school, and early career took me throughout New York, to Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, and then to finally Ohio in 1989. Starting then at Heidelberg College as an assistant professor of American history, I am now a full professor and the chairperson of my department. While teaching at Heidelberg, and living in Marion, I also authored the book, Selling’em by the Sack: White Castle and the Creation of American Food (New York University Press, 1997) and served as president of the Ohio Academy of History, as an ex officio board member of the Ohio Historical Society, and on the Social Studies Advisory Board for the Ohio State Department of Education.
I enjoy working to help my community. Serving the boards of the Marion-area YMCA and Habitat for Humanity, I was able to assist in creating a school-based child care program, in building a new YMCA facility and in bringing housing to the working poor. While in Marion, I also worked very closely with the Marion Area Chamber of Commerce, directing the Marion Leadership Program, and for my church, co-chairing St. Mary church’s annual Festival on the Green. Related to my profession as a historian, I also volunteered as a consultant for the Marion County Historical Society & Museum and as an unpaid guide at the Warren G. Harding Presidential Home.
Eight years ago I married my wonderful wife, Lee Ann, and moved here to her native Delaware County. Formerly Lee Ann Walton, she is both a Buckeye Valley and Ohio State grad, and now a fifth-grade teacher at Olentangy’s Arrowhead Elementary School. Together we have a combined family of four great kids; Allyssa and Tim, who both finished college this year, and Brendan, in first grade at Delaware City’s Smith School, and Lilly, soon to graduate from preschool. We also have dogs, fish, and a hamster. Five years ago, my parents, Raymond and Ruth Hogan, moved up from Naples, Florida to Delaware to be closer to grandchildren, living four hundred yards down the hill from our house.
We are all members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Delaware, and I am now very active in the Smith Elementary School PTO. I worked hard on our successful 2011 school levy campaign, helping to guarantee that Brendan, Lilly and all their classmates will continue to attend excellent schools!

surveillance trajectory control
synthetic array aperture
Algorithms of trajectory control of dual position system for semiactive guidance on ground targets are proposed. The algorithms provide synthetic array aperture on the receiving (strike) position with constant linear azimuthal resolution achieved by flying the transmitting position in a special trajectory. The proposed algorithms are based on mathematical apparatus of statistical theory of optimal control with usage of local quality functional. The proposed results are achieved providing receiving position estimates target-to-strike position line of sight rate and distance , while transmitting position estimates target-to-informative position line of sight rate and distance . Moreover, such dual position guidance system estimation of target-to-strike position line of sight rate should be transferred from the receiving position to the transmitting position.
A significant simplification of trajectory control system as a whole is the usage of proportional guidance method on the strike position, resulting in elimination of the information exchange between the positions.

Washington: Indian-American Raj Dutt, an IIT-Kharagpur alumnus, has developed a next-generation energy-efficient computer chip that has caught the attention of the Pentagon, which is testing its application in the ambitious F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
The breakthrough technology by Dutt, Chairman and CEO of privately-held APIC Corp and Photonic Corp, helps computer processors consume up to 90 per cent less energy and run up to 60 per cent faster.
"The significance of the technology is that information transfer on the semiconductor chip as well as between components, will now be done using light - photons - instead
of just electrons (electronics)," California-based Dutt told PTI.
There are many advantages in size, weight and especially power consumed, he explained during his recent trip to Washington, where he met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
Photons do not generate heat, thus thy do not need to be cooled. For electronics, cooling is one of the largest cost components.
"Photonic interconnects do not generate heat and use less size than electronic copper interconnects, so more transistors can be put onto a chip. Most significantly, we have figured out how to do this using the same economical process used in manufacturing semiconductor chips today, enabling them to be stamped out by the millions," Dutt said.
Well aware with the potential of the computer chip, the US Department of Defence is fully supporting Dutt and his company. The Pentagon is testing the chip`s application in the ambitious F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
There are several benefits to the computer and defence industry, Dutt said.
"First, for military platforms there are tremendous savings in size, weight and power required, while it simultaneously brings much more capability in bandwidth, processing power and speed," he said, adding that a few hundred pounds of weight reduced from an aircraft is a giant benefit.
Now, tens or even hundreds of separate signals (frequencies) can be passed through a single fiber optic cable less than a 10th of the diameter of a human hair, rather than
one signal through a copper cable, he said.
This is called Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). Secondly, the military spends much time and money upgrading their platform networks, pulling out old copper cables,
putting in more new ones; this technology will obviate that, Dutt said.
"The NEW HIP network, will have sufficient capacity that it never has to be replaced. This is a huge benefit. For Unmanned Vehicles, a primary benefit is extended mission time due to weight reduction, plus the ability to process information sensed on board the vehicle, rather than passed to a ground station where it is processed and sent back to the
user. The ability to do parallel processing... will enable real autonomy and learning," he said.
Dutt said a photonic microprocessor enables true parallel processing, where all the logic cores can communicate with each other simultaneously, at the speed of light, unlike
anything today, where all computing is done serially, one step at a time, and software programming must account for time delays of the electrons carrying information getting from one node to another.
Especially important is that the amount of power used in a photonic microprocessor is estimated to be less than 1/10th of what it is today, which is a massive benefit as cloud
computing, dependent on many huge data centres, use a significant and growing part of the nations` energy.
"Photonics is naturally green," Dutt said.
Dutt had made a few trips to India this year and had meetings with top leaders, including Finance Minister Mukherjee.
"We seek a strong equal partnership with Indian companies or the Indian defence establishment," he said.
"Photonic technology is the future of information transmission and processing. Those that wait will fall behind the others," he said.
To questions about the response from the Indian government, he said it is for them to decide.
"Ideally, the Indian government will decide to invest in this promising technology, possibly for a foundry to manufacture photonic chips, thus becoming the world leader in
photonic semiconductors. Right now, almost all chips are made in three foundries in Taiwan and Singapore.
"If India is manufacturing these chips, they will supply the entire world`s market; now it`s a USD 500 billion industry. That has enormous implications for the country," he argued and added that at present his company is seeking export permissions from the US Government in this regard.
Dutt said the US Navy, through the Department of Defence, is supporting the full maturation of the technology.
"We have been asked to demonstrate the technology on US Navy test bed aircraft and systems to prove its functionality and value. In development is a reconfigurable Systems
Integration Lab, where one can test and develop requirements and specifications for weapons systems," he said.
"Further they are interested in conducting two pilot programmes, one data centre, and one TBD weapons systems application. We have been asked to study and detail benefits to the DDG 51 Destroyer and Virgina Class Attack submarine, and to examine the use in Infrared Countermeasures for missile defence in aircraft," he said in response to a question.


In the automotive industry, there are electric cars and then there is Tesla. Get what am saying?
Let’s give credit where it’s due, what Tesla has done to the EV market is not only conspicuous but also immensely credible. More than any other player, Tesla has enabled the conversation and the competition to thrive.
The recent announcement by CEO Elon Musk that the Tesla Model Y, a new compact SUV will be coming around in 2020 just helps to make things a little merrier and juicer. But it the Model Y is visibly a build up from the Model 3 sedan that has been around for some time.
They share quite a lot of similarities with size being the main distinguishing characteristic with the latter being just a little bigger. The long-range Model Y offers enough room to seat 7 and has a range of 300 miles.
The performance version of the vehicle is capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. This will be the company’s fifth car ever to hit the road, and it’s the company’s second attempt at a mass-market electric vehicle.
Tesla says the car will retail for $47,000 and should be around in the fall of 2020. Musk describes the Model Y summarily saying, “It has the functionality of an SUV, but it will ride like a sports car. So this thing will be really tight on corners.”

“Are there no workhouses?” These might as well be the words of 14 Republican congresscreeps who voted for themselves to reap thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in government farm subsidies, but not before they voted to separate farm subsidies from SNAP, the federal food stamp assistance program. The two are traditionally included in the same bill.
From the Rep George Miller (D – CA) Pork Barrel Report:
"The 14 Republican members of Congress who voted for the FARRM Act and personally receive government subsidies have received an average of $515,279 in benefits, according to a database maintained by the Environmental Working Group."
Among these 14 is the Texas Republican congressman that I love to hate: millionaire Congressman Blake “Poses With Minors in His PJs” Farenthold. Farenthold, a darling of the TEA Party, personally pocketed over 1 large in taxpayer money, yet voted to take formula from babies' mouths.
There he is at a lingerie party. The child at the far left, with an “M” on her hand is a minor.
Texas Republican congressmen fill me with the urge to aspirate vomitus.

Ted Danson knows how to floss his teeth and Floss dance, ever since a video of him learning the moves on the set of The Good Place made the online rounds in November. The actor, 71, confirmed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he can do it, it just hurts, apparently.
Danson, who learned the dance for the show, stood up to Floss a few rounds for the audience. He got that with help from The Good Place cast members Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, and D’Arcy Carden.
“It hurts. It actually hurts,” he joked to Kimmel as he sat back down. “If you’re young, maybe not. But otherwise, that hurts.”
Based on the original video, shared to the show’s Instagram account, it took a while for Danson to get it down.

Mental Health Disorders | Knowledge Center Schizoid personality disorder is one of many different types of personality disorders. It can make people to appear cold and emotionless, rarely interacting in social situations or developing connections with others. However, beneath this apparent lack of feeling lies a deep-seated pain that the person is unable to express properly.
Schizoid personality disorder is one of many different types of personality disorders. However, this behavior is usually used as a way to protect themselves from being hurt too deeply by others or themselves.
People with this disorder avoid social interactions because they feel uncomfortable with the moods and needs of others. They also may believe that others are not worth their time. As a result, schizoid personalities lack valuable experiences that help them form relationships and understand other people's feelings.
In addition, schizoids tend to be alone most of the time. They like their own company and will often stay at home instead of going out. This isolation can cause serious problems with self-esteem and mental health.
Finally, schizoids do not feel comfortable showing their emotions. They might laugh easily, but they also might cry or complain loudly when they are angry or hurt. However, despite their apparent coldness, schizoids do have feelings. They are just unable to show it due to fear of being hurt again.
People with this disorder should seek help from a counselor who has experience treating antisocial individuals.
Borderline personality disorder is a mental ailment that affects how you interact with others and with yourself. It is also called borderline syndrome because it shares many of the same traits as those found in people on or near the border of society. These individuals often suffer from anxiety, depression, and impulsiveness among other problems.
People with BPD have difficulties controlling their feelings. They may experience intense episodes of happiness or sadness that last for long periods of time. They may also have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy and be prone to self-harm behaviors such as eating disorders, drug abuse, and excessive exercise.
Treatment for BPD includes counseling and psychotherapy for learning how to better deal with your emotions and understanding why you act the way you do. Your doctor may also prescribe medications if necessary.
There are several types of therapy available for BPD. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has been shown to be very effective in treating BPD. In DBT, you will learn to identify and work through stressful situations step by step, rather than reacting to them emotionally.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on changing how you think and behave toward achieving a desired outcome.
No feelings at all? This is referred to as "flat affect," and it is present in personality disorders such as schizoid personality disorder, schizophrenia, Asperger's syndrome, and other developmental problems. It can also be an indication or symptom of depression or other mental illnesses.
Having no feelings at all is a pretty big deal. If you are not feeling anything, you cannot make good decisions. You will not know what needs taking care of, and you will not take care of them. People with this problem may seem like they are not caring, but that is because they don't know any better. They don't have any feelings so there is no way for them to understand that something needs done around the house or with their relationships.
People with no feelings often seek out situations where they will not hurt others' feelings, such as with friends or family who don't require much interaction from them. They may also appear cold or aloof, since they cannot afford to give away any information about themselves.
In order to feel things, we first need to believe things are okay even if we can't prove it. Then, when something bad happens, we can use our feelings to help us cope with it. If we never feel anything, then we never learn how to cope with life's challenges.
You tend not to convey your sentiments to other people, such as by kissing or caressing them.
Another mental health illness marked by alternating moods, from mania to sadness, is bipolar disorder. Some people exhibit little to no emotional reaction while they are in the depressed state of bipolar illness.
A lack of empathy and guilt, superficial emotion, glibness, manipulation, and callousness are all symptoms of psychopathy. Psychopaths are very difficult to empathize with because they don't feel or show remorse for their actions.
Psychopaths often have other mental disorders as well, such as antisocial personality disorder, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and depression. Many psychopaths have been diagnosed with addiction problems including alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and addictive behaviors such as gambling. Some research suggests that women may be more likely than men to suffer from psychopathy due to a combination of factors including biology, psychology, and society. However, most studies report similar rates of psychopathy between men and women.
Psychopaths usually do not get better, even when given the opportunity to receive treatment for their disorders. They may appear normal outside of work or school but inside they are suffering as their lack of empathy causes them great pain.
People with psychopathic personalities don't feel much sympathy or compassion for others, so they don't try to help those who need it. If someone is being hurt or if some injustice is being done, a psychopath will use any means possible to continue with this behavior.

The Environment Agency has issued advice against bathing at Viking Bay in Broadstairs and Fulsam Rock in Margate due to the likelihood of reduced water quality.
The impact on quality is due to heavy rainfall resulting in surface water – which can become contaminated – running off directly into the sea.
Thanet council has put signs out at both beaches to let people know that swimming is not advised.
The reduced water quality is not due to a discharge of foul sewage, it refers to surface runoff.
Southern Water’s monitoring page https://www.southernwater.co.uk/water-for-life/our-bathing-waters/beachbuoy has no notification of this release. Just shows how industry self-policing is an abject failure.
This isn’t helped by so many people turning their gardens into mini car parks!
Agree, but until planning insist on permeable driveways (and rainwater harvesting) things won’t change. And with the current government’s drive to abolish constraints on industry that’s not going to happen any time soon.
For once, I agree.
Phil Shotton, Until the highways enforce the SUDS law which came out in 2008 a lot of rainfall will just go down the roadside drains.
All Water customers also pay for Highways drainage, why cant the road owners pay for that drainage ?
Nothing to do with sewage ..sure

In the wake of the election of nine members to the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC), the onus is on the state government to nominate five more members to ensure smooth functioning of the quasi-judicial body. Members of the MMC have already sent appeals to the state government to expedite the process as this year, nearly 70,000 doctors have to renew their registrations online.
MMC, the state arm of the Indian Medical Council, registers allopathic doctors and has the power to cancel or suspend licenses on grounds of medical misconduct by any of them. While nine members were elected in the MMC polls held in December last year, five members are yet to be nominated by the state. Four others are ex-officio members, including the director of health services, director of medical education and Research, president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and an academic council member of the Maharashtra University of Health Science.
The MMC will have to renew the registration of several doctors in the next two to three months, said Dr Dilip Sarda, newly-elected MMC member.
According to Dr Jayesh Lele, another elected MMC member, these registrations, for the first time, have to be completed online. “… While several forms need to be uploaded for this purpose, many doctors in rural areas have limited internet access. Unless our committee meets soon and decides on these issues, the entire procedure will be delayed,” said Dr Sarda.
The pendency of cases is yet another issue that the newly-elected committee has to tackle. According to Dr Shiv Utture, another elected member, cases about medical negligence are piling up. “There are over 600 cases that need to be resolved… The committee can’t meet or elect a new chairman unless it is fully set up,” said Sarda. Dr Pravin Shingare, director of Medical Education and Research, said the gazette notification about MMC election results was yet to be issued, after which the four ex-officio members will join the committee.

One of the joys of preparing a family holiday meal is having leftovers. OK, I know not everyone enjoys putting them away and then figuring out what to do with them. And I do have a husband who does not complain about eating leftovers. I really do like Thanksgiving leftovers, and thought it might be fun to look at some before pictures and then talk about how the remains were revisited. Some of the “leavings” went home with guests, but here’s how we took care of ours.
First, the bird! I am the first to admit, the turkey was in the roaster a bit too long. This was my first time using an electric turkey roaster but it won’t be the last. No basting, shorter cooking time, and even though it was falling off the bone the meat was tender and moist. I rubbed it with olive oil and a Texas salt rub that had plenty of cayenne and paprika and stuffed it with slices of orange, Meyer lemon and fresh bay leaves, rosemary, and basil straight out of the garden. I glazed the turkey with pomegranate jelly. Honestly, there was not alot leftover. We had enough for turkey sandwiches. But usually I make turkey tetrazinni and turkey noodle soup. Any that remains after a couple of days gets chopped up and stored in Ziploc bags in the freezer. This can be used in just about any chicken recipe.
Fruit salad with cooked dressing is one dish we included this year that I remember my Mother always putting on the table for holiday meals. Our cornbread dressing is another. In the 40’s and 50’s we never had turkey or pumpkin pie. We had baked chicken and cornbread dressing and sweet potato pie. We had alot of this leftover because the recipe makes alot and since it competes for dessert as a sweet, I think people “saved for dessert.” That is OK, because I love it. We have eaten it as a side with sandwiches but my favorite way of eating this leftover is for breakfast! I will include this recipe. The dressing is delicious drizzled over fresh fruit. I included the cherries and marshmallows because that is the way Mother made it, but I prefer to omit them.
Our sons and their wives are good cooks, so we are fortunate to have their great contributions to our family gatherings. My son Ben made our mac and cheese, green beans amandine, and the cranberry sauce, which he tells me he cooked by adding honey and some garam masala to fresh cranberries. This was tasty spread on toast to make a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich. The last 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce got whirled in the blender with Greek yogurt and orange juice to make a cranberry smoothie. Son Sean made a beautiful berry pie and his wife, Teion, made Paula Deen’s pumpkin pie. And although we didn’t get to taste, son Jeremy made campfire turkey and dressing which they called from their camping spot to say turned out great.
Fruit Salad with Cooked Dressing (just like Opal made it)
8 or 10 oranges, peeled, sectioned, each section cut into bite size
2 cans pineapple chunks, drained
1 jar Maraschino cherries, drained
1 cup of miniature marshmallows
1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped
Toss with cooked dressing and whipped cream and let set in refrigerator to chill.
2 Tablespoons vinegar
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 whole eggs
2 Tablespoons butter
Combine and cook, stirring, until thick. Cool before adding to fruit.


The pairing of saxophonist Joe McPhee and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten seemed inevitable. Both the US-born McPhee and Norwegian Håker Flaten have worked in the same circle of players for years. The Ken Vandermark (Chicago) and Mats Gustafsson (Swedish) connections have made their services valued in varying bands.
This meeting, in Chicago 2007, is a fine bookend to McPhee's duo recording Tomorrow Came Today (Smalltown Superjazz, 2009) with Håker Flaten's longtime collaborator in tThe Thing, drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. Connoisseurs of improvising sax/bass duos know both artists are skilled at such endeavors. McPhee has recorded duos with the bassists Michael Bisio and Dominic Duval, while Håker Flaten has improvised with Evan Parker and Hakon Kornstad.
While both musicians are proficient at energy jazz, they keep things, for the most part, civilized here. Quite comfortingmaybe because the goal was collaborative music-making and not wrestlingthere is plenty to explore in this 42- minutes of music. The gentle opener, "Truth In The Abstract Blues," finds McPhee repeating a simple pattern that allows the bassist to wander a bit. McPhee has always been a generous player,and here he never overpowers the music. "Cerulean Mood Swing" follows a sort of glum Albert Ayler saxophone sortie, with Håker Flaten vocalizing while he walks behind McPhee. The stuttering, pecking horn of McPhee is mimicked by the bass on "I Love You Too Little Baby," but the most expressive piece on the disc is "Legend Of The Three Blind Moose," almost whispered by both players. McPhee blows breath through his horn as music, and the bassist gently rubs his instrument, giving a warm fuzzy feeling.
Truth In The Abstract Blues; Cerulean Mood Swing; Requiem For An
Empty Heart; I Love You Too Little Baby; The Shape Of Blues To Come;
Legend Of The Three Blind Moose.
Joe McPhee: saxophone; Ingebrigt Håker Flaten: bass.

It may feel impossible to think about self-care amidst a world on fire. To care for ourselves is an incredible privilege, and the systemic forces of oppression and injustice often allow some more access to this privilege than others. And, our ability to continue to show up to the work of health equity and justice is inextricably linked to our own wellbeing.
Our Statement of Solidarity
At Interdisciplinary Research Leaders, we stand in solidarity with the family of George Floyd and other families who have lost their loved ones to police brutality, with the protestors locally and around the world, and with all who are demanding justice and action to dismantle the systems of racial oppression that Black people face daily.

My suicidal friend presented at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital's emergency department on the recommendation of a mental health crisis team and the situation was poorly handled by the intake staff. We were told that there was no psychiatrists available (apparently this was not the case) and he was told that he could leave if he wished. It might sound like a small thing to say but given that it can take a lot for someone to seek help it should have been dealt with more seriously. People know if they haven't been sectioned that they have the option to leave. I suspect that no one with a physical injury is told that they have the option to leave when they arrive at emergency seeking medical attention.
I called the hospital's patient liaison office and was told that I would receive a call back within a week and it has been 6 weeks and counting with no response.
