Handheld turns ratio tester TRT-H is DV Power single-phase instrument specially designed for measuring transformer turns ratio of single-phase and three-phase transformers.
Together with the turns ratio, the instrument also measures excitation current and phase angle. By measuring these two parameters, it is possible to detect failures, related to transformer core or windings, that cannot be spotted by measuring only the turns ratio.
The transformer turns ratio is determined by applying AC voltage across high voltage winding, accurately measuring AC voltage across the corresponding unloaded transformer winding, and then displaying the ratio of these voltages. A user can enter a transformer’s nameplate voltages, so that turns ratio deviation can be calculated. This feature eliminates any error otherwise caused by an operator’s manual calculation. TRT-H compares the measured turns ratio with the nameplate ratio and prints out the % of error for each test.
The instrument can output a maximum test voltage of 40 V AC for testing the turns ratio of distribution transformers, but it can also generate a very low voltage of 1 V AC which is necessary for the turns ratio verification of most current transformers. By measuring the phase angle, the polarity of instrument transformers can be checked.
The list of instrument applications includes:
TRT-H is powered by an internal Li-Ion battery. Up to 100 tests can be performed with a fully charged battery. The battery charging time is 2.5 hours.

WLS-TV(CHICAGO) — Two brothers — just 2 and 4 years old — are dead after they were found unresponsive in a river, authorities said.The incident unfolded when concerned witnesses called 911 at the Kankakee River by the Illinois and Indiana state line on Tuesday, said Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr.Witnesses said the boys’ father was in and out of consciousness and “acting strangely,” Martinez said at a news conference Wednesday.The witnesses “felt that he was under the influence of something,” Martinez said, and noticed him “jumping in the water. And the witnesses were confused of where the kids were at and started looking for the kids.”Witnesses found one child floating in the water and the second child under the water and unresponsive, he said.The boys, Evan Patillo, 2, and Levi Patillo, 4, both died, Martinez said.The boys’ mother has been contacted, Martinez said.Their causes of death are under investigation, he added.“It’s a tragedy,” Martinez told reporters. “It hits us hard.”The boys’ father, Eric Patillo, was interviewed at the Lake County Police detective bureau, Martinez said, and was then taken into custody and booked on two probable cause charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in death.Authorities are awaiting test results that would reveal if Patillo was under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, Martinez said.Copyright © 2018, ABC Radio.

Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office(NORTH YARMOUTH, Maine) — The death of a Maine teacher who was reported missing on Monday has been ruled a suicide, according to local authorities.A body found Friday morning in a wooded area roughly 500 feet off Gray Road in North Yarmouth, Maine, has been identified as 47-year-old Kristin Westra, who was last seen by her husband, Jay Westra, last Sunday night.The Cumberland County Medical Examiner ruled Kristin Westra’s death a suicide, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office announced Sunday. Her cause of death was not released.Jay Westra reported his wife missing Monday morning after he woke up and discovered she was not home, Cumberland County Sheriff’s Capt. Scott Stewart told ABC News Tuesday. He last saw her before he went to bed that night, after she returned home from a jog, Stewart said.Kristin Westra’s brother, Eric Rohrbach, told ABC News that she had trouble falling asleep Sunday night and that her husband assumed she was going to try and sleep in an empty room when she got out of bed around 3 a.m.When Jay Westra woke up, he “realized she wasn’t there,” Rohrbach said.Rohrbach said his sister had been under “some stress” due to work and home renovations but described her disappearance as “very abnormal,” and said she didn’t do drugs or drink alcohol.“The thought of her doing this to her family is completely out of the norm,” Rohrbach said.When Jay Westra attempted to call her cell phone Monday morning, it rang inside the house, Rohrbach said. She did not have her keys or wallet, he said.Kristin Westra was an elementary school teacher and mother to a 9-year-old daughter and 16-year-old stepson, Rohrbach said, calling her a “pillar in her community.”Dozens of volunteers searched for Kristin Westra earlier this week. Cumberland County Sheriff’s Capt. Craig Smith did not disclose who located the remains or in what condition they were found.Copyright © 2018, ABC Radio. All rights reserved.
Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail(CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.) — The mother of the woman who was killed when a protester rammed his car into a crowd of people at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 spoke about how her family has coped in the wake of her death.Heather Heyer was killed by James Alex Fields, who was found guilty of first-degree murder and other charges. Her mother, Susan Bro, was one of several people who gave victim impact statements in court on Monday.“Almost all members of our family have gone into grief therapy as the darkness has tried to swallow us whole,” Bro said in court, according to The Washington Post.“We are survivors but we are much sadder survivors. We are forever scarred by the pain,” she said.Jurors listened to the impact statements from Bro and several others who were injured. They are expected to make their sentencing recommendation on Tuesday.Fields, 21, was found guilty of five counts of aggravated malicious wounding and three counts of malicious wounding in addition to the first-degree murder count. He could face multiple counts of life sentences, based on the guidelines for those charges.Jeanne “Star” Peterson was one of the victims who spoke in court, saying that her life has been “a living nightmare” after the crash, going through five surgeries to repair her shattered right leg.“I saw Heather fly into the air before I was struck,” Peterson said, according to ABC affiliate WVAW-TV. “I will never forget the look in her eyes.”She spoke about how difficult it was to be in the same room as the man whose actions injured her and killed Heyer, her friend.“It’s been really hard to be in the courtroom with him … I watched the people I love testify about the worst day of their lives and he just doesn’t show any emotion,” Peterson said, according to WVAW-TV.“I didn’t realize that I have been carrying this heavy weight and I mean since the car attack really and now I feel so so light,” she said.Another victim who gave an impact statement, going only by the name Lisa Q., explained the painful process of recovering from her various injuries.She said that she has gone through months of physical therapy in the wake of the August 2017 attack and “today I came close to making a fist.”Copyright © 2018, ABC Radio.

JOHAN ORDONEZ/AFP/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — The family of the 7-year-old girl who died while in border patrol custody is calling for a “transparent and neutral investigation” into the circumstances that led to her death, attorneys representing her heartbroken family said in a statement Saturday.The tragic death of Jakelin Caal Maquin, who was just five days past her birthday when she died after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this month, should be investigated within “nationally recognized standards for the arrest and custody of children,” said Ruben Garcia, the director of Annunciation House, a non-profit organization that is working with her family.“The family intends to assist in such an investigation into the cause and circumstances of Jakelin’s death,” Garcia read from a statement prepared by the family’s attorneys, during a Saturday afternoon press conference in El Paso, Texas.Garcia spoke on behalf of Jakelin’s parents: her father, Nery Gilberto Caal Cruz, with whom she crossed the border; and her mom, Claudia Marivel Maquin Coc.Jakelin “was a beautiful and loving child,” Garcia said during the news conference.“Jakelin and her father came to the United States seeking something that thousands have been seeking for years: An escape from the dangerous situation in their home country,” Garcia read, referring to Guatemala. “This was their right under U.S. and international law.”Late Saturday evening, Guatemalan Consul Tekandi Paniagua told ABC News that Cruz — Jakelin’s father — was grateful to the border patrol and the doctors who tried to save his daughter’s life.“When I spoke to the father he actually said he was very grateful for the effort of both the Border Patrol agents that assisted his daugther at the station as well as the medical staff at the hospital,” Paniagua said.Cruz’ sentiments were first reported earlier Saturday by CNN.Jakelin’s death became public Thursday, five days after she died from dehydration and cardiac arrest, and sparked out sparked outrage from Democrats and immigration advocates alike.“There are no words to capture the horror of a seven-year-old girl dying of dehydration in U.S. custody,” former presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted Friday. “What’s happening at our borders is a humanitarian crisis.”Department of Homeland Security and Border Patrol officials on Friday defended their handling of the incident. Among the challenges cited, DHS and CBP said it took 90 minutes to get Jakelin medical attention after Caal Cruz alerted agents that she was sick.Four border patrol agents apprehended a group of 160 migrants — among them Jakelin and her father — and there was no medical staff nearby.Finally, a CBP official with direct knowledge of the investigation told ABC News that a single bus equipped to transport children from a remote part of the New Mexico border had to make two trips to take everyone. Jakelin had to wait four hours for the bus to return for her and her father, the official said.Jakelin later had a 105.9-degree fever and had to be airlifted to a children’s hospital in El Paso. That’s when she went into cardiac arrest, suffered brain swelling and liver failure, according to CBP and DHS officials.She died less than 24 hours later, DHS said.But Jakelin’s family said through Garcia the little girl had been taken care of by her father, who made sure she had eaten and was hydrated.“She had suffered from a lack of water or food prior to approaching the border,” Garcia said Saturday.Garcia added that Jakelin and her family who speak Q’eqchi, and Spanish as a second language. They don’t speak English, Garcia added, yet Caal Cruz filled out an English form during processing.“It is unacceptable for any government agency to have persons in custody sign documents in a language that they clearly do not understand,” Garcia said.They urged patience while the medical examiner in El Paso County, which conducted Jakelin’s autopsy, makes a public statement regarding the cause of death.Her body has left El Paso and is being transported to a funeral home in Laredo that works with Guatemalan consulate. From there, her body will be repatriated to Guatemala, Garcia said.“The family of Jakelin … is still coping with their profound loss,” Garcia said. “The death of a child is the most painful experience that a parent or family can endure.” Copyright © 2018, ABC Radio.

400tmax/iStock(CHICAGO) — Four Chicago police officers have been fired over their alleged cover-up of the 2014 murder of a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, by former officer Jason Van Dyke. The Chicago Police Board voted on Thursday to discharge Sgt. Stephen Franko and officers Janet Modragon, Daphne Sebastian and Ricardo Viramontes. They have the right to appeal the decision, which went into effect immediately.“The department is bound by the decision of the board,” Chicago Police Department spokesman Thomas Ahern told ABC News in a statement Thursday night. “The affected members have further options they may exercise if they so choose.”The four former officers were accused of making false statements about the shooting, which took place on the night of Oct. 20, 2014. Van Dkye, who fired 16 shots at the 17-year-old McDonald in a span of 15 seconds, was convicted by a jury last year of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.The Chicago Police Board wrote in its findings and decision that Franko “failed to properly supervise his officers” that night, nearly five years ago. The sergeant reviewed and approved “critical case reports” that contained “several demonstrable and known falsehoods,” according to the board.Meanwhile, Modragon, Sebastian and Viramontes were all present when McDonald was killed. They gave statements that night to a detective and again early the next morning to Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority, according to the board.“It was their statements that would be used by the investigators to determine whether the fatal shooting of Mr. McDonald was justified — or whether a crime by their fellow officer had been committed,” the board wrote. “As sworn officers, each understood the importance of their statements to that investigation and understood that their statements must be truthful and complete. Each of the three officers failed in their duty — either by outright lying or by shading the truth.”The Chicago police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, lambasted the board’s ruling, saying it will “no doubt lead to more violence in the city and quite likely more violence against the police.”“These officers served the citizens of this city with courage, integrity, and adherence to the rule of law,” Martin Preib, second vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement. “Too bad you couldn’t do the same.”Copyright © 2019, ABC Radio.

dlewis33/iStock(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — California lawmakers are moving to put a ban on police officers using facial recognition technology in body cameras, arguing in a bill that the technology infringes on privacy and often misidentifies women, people of color and young people.The California state Senate passed AB1215 bill, a three-year ban on the technology, on Wednesday, and it cleared the state Assembly in a vote Thursday afternoon. If signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, California could become the largest state to ban facial recognition and biometric technology in police body cameras in the nation when it would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.“This is not just a California concern, this is a national concern, people have really … been much more sensitive to their privacy recently,” California Assemblymember Phil Ting, who drafted the bill, said on a call with reporters Thursday afternoon.Ting added that the facial recognition technology “seems to have a higher misidentification rate for people of color,” and that “having all these questions make these highly problematic” for use with law enforcement.“We did the test with different California state legislators,” he said. “Twenty-six out of 120 of us got misidentified.”The three-year moratorium on the technology also allows lawmakers to revisit the idea if technology does advance, according to Ting. While facial recognition technology in body cams is currently not widely used by law enforcement, Ting said that they wanted to be “proactive” with this legislation.“Face-scanning police body cameras have no place on our streets, where they can be used for dragnet surveillance of people going about their private lives, including their locations and personal associations,” Matt Cagle, the technology and civil liberties attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, said in a statement.“With this bill, California is poised to become one of the first states in the country to prevent its residents from becoming test subjects for an invasive tracking technology proven to be fundamentally incompatible with civil liberties and human rights,” Cagle added. “Other states should follow suit.”The bill, drafted by Ting, states, “Facial recognition and other biometric surveillance technology has been repeatedly demonstrated to misidentify women, young people, and people of color and to create an elevated risk of harmful ‘false positive’ identifications.”It also argues that if police employ facial recognition tech on their body cams it could hurt their relationship with the community.“Its use would also diminish effective policing and public safety by discouraging people in these communities, including victims of crime, undocumented persons, people with unpaid fines and fees, and those with prior criminal history from seeking police assistance or from assisting the police,” the bill argues.Some law enforcement groups, however, including the California Peace Officers’ Association, announced on their website that they oppose the bill.A U.K. report from earlier this year claimed that 81% of suspects flagged by facial recognition technology used by London’s Metropolitan Police were innocent.San Francisco and Oakland, the fourth- and eighth-largest cities in California, respectively, already banned their respective police departments from using facial recognition technology earlier this year.

L. Carter/National Park Service(KING SALMON, Alaska) –All hail this year’s “Queen of Corpulence.”A national park in Alaska declared 435 Holly the winner of its 2019 Fat Bear Week competition on Tuesday.“She is fat. She is fabulous,” the Katmai National Park & Preserve wrote on Facebook.In photos from July, 435 Holly touted a slimmer figure but she managed to beautifully pack on the pounds for hibernation and dominate the competition.The public votes online in the annual contest to name the fattest and baddest bear of the state’s Brook River.Katmai called it a “March Madness-style competition.”During hibernation, which can last for up to half a year, a bear can lose one third of its body mass, making the weight a bear gains before all the more important.“There is no shame in winning this contest as large amounts of body fat in brown bears is indicative of good health and strong chances of survival,” the park said in a statement.Bears in Katmai are among the largest in the world, according to the park. Adult males typically weight 600-900 pounds before hibernation, but clock in at well over 1,000 pounds as hibernation begins. Adult females usually weigh about one third less than adult males.Copyright © 2019, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
maroke/iStock(CHICAGO) — After 10 days on the picket line, the Chicago Teachers Union has voted to accept a tentative deal with the city — but that still doesn’t mean teachers in the Windy City will be returning to work Thursday.The union has requested that the school system schedule make-up days for time lost to the strike, but Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said the days won’t be made up. As a result, classes will again not be session Thursday. “We believe this is an agreement that will produce real, lasting benefits in our schools. It’s a contract we can believe in. It has meaningful improvements in class size, in staffing and in a number of other features which we believe will help transform public schools in Chicago,” teachers union president Jesse Sharkey said in announcing the agreement Wednesday night.“There’s one issue, however, that’s an important issue,” he said. “Our union does not have a return to work agreement. Our delegates told us in no uncertain terms they were not going back to work unless there was a provision made for making up the instructional days that have been lost over the last ten days. Our members want to return to work. Everyone was clear about that. However, the mayor of the city of Chicago has said that we will not be able to make up lost instructional days.”Lightfoot, who had previously said any lost days would not be made up, reiterated that point late Wednesday night.Discussing the sides’ most recent meeting in which they hammered out the union’s six remaining issues on Tuesday, Lightfoot said, “In response to my concerns that the CTU had appeared to repeatedly move the goalposts on issue after issue, President Sharkey made a dramatic gesture and said, ‘Mayor, I give you my word that these last six issues are the last issues that we need to resolve in order for a contract to be ratified.’”“Not once during that 3 1/2 hour meeting did they raise compensation for strike days — not once. The issue never came up,” the mayor said. “I’ve been clear from Day One that CPS would not make up any strike days. And at this late hour, we are not adding any new issues.”Despite the mayor’s insistence, Illinois state law says that after nine days, district students are required to make those days up in school, according to Chicago ABC station WLS-TV. Under those rules, at least two days of school will be added to the end of the year based on how long the strike has gone on to this point.Teachers are not paid for lost days that are not made up.The Chicago Teachers Union represents the city’s 25,000 teachers and educational support staff. The strike, in the nation’s third-largest school district, has kept more than 360,000 students out of school. Copyright © 2019, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
Courtesy Nancy Organ(FORT SMITH, Ark.) — A former Arkansas 911 dispatcher was cleared of wrongdoing following accusations that she mishandled a call with a drowning woman and told her to “shut up” just moments before she died. An internal investigation concluded that operator Donna Reneau violated policy by being rude during an August call with Debbie Stevens shortly before her death, but she did nothing that would have warranted her termination, according to the Fort Smith Police Department. “No evidence of criminal negligence or activities on former Operator Reneau’s part. In fact, the evidence shows that while Operator Reneau spoke rudely to Mrs. Stevens during the call, she actually bumped the call up in the order of importance shortly after receiving it,” the department said in a report released Friday.Stevens’ death made national news earlier this year when the department released audio of the 911 call. Stevens only had minutes to live, but Reneau appeared unconcerned and even scolded the 47-year-old woman for driving into such deep waters.Fort Smith police got a call from Stevens, 47, at around 4:38 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 24. She had been delivering newspapers for the Southwest Times Record when her sport utility vehicle was swept away in a flood and then trapped among trees as the waters continued to rise, police said. Stevens first called a family member, Fort Smith police said, and then she called 911. “I have an emergency — a severe emergency,” Stevens said during the call. “I can’t get out, and I’m scared to death, ma’am. Can you please help me?” “I’m going to die,” Stevens cried later.“You’re not going to die,” Reneau responded. “I don’t know why you’re freaking out … You freaking out is doing nothing but losing your oxygen in there. So, calm down.” Later on during the 911 call, the dispatcher assures Stevens that she is not going to die. “I don’t know why you are freaking out. It’s OK. I know the water level is high,” the operator said. “I’m scared!” Stevens said. “I understand that but you freaking out, doing nothing but losing oxygen up in there,” the operator said. “So calm down.” Stevens could be heard crying on the phone.“I’m scared. I’ve never had anything happen to me like this before,” she said. “Well, this will teach you next time, don’t drive in the water,” the operator said. “I couldn’t see it, ma’am. I’m sorry I wouldn’t have,” Steven said. “I don’t see how you didn’t see it. You had to go right over it so,” the operator said. At one point, Stevens got frantic and had this exchange with the dispatcher. “These people are all standing out here watching me,” Stevens said. “Miss Debbie, you’re gong to have to shut up. OK. I need you to listen,” said the dispatcher. The recording intensified outrage over the operator’s response even though authorities insisted that “sincere efforts were being made” to save the drowning woman’s life during the call. Reneau had submitted her resignation earlier in August and was on her last shift when Stevens’s call came in.Copyright © 2019, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

- T-cadherin Antibody: T-cadherin was initially identified as cadherin-type cell adhesion molecule expressed in various neuronal populations in a temporally and spatially restricted pattern during axon growth. T-cadherin is an atypical member of the cadherin family because it does not possess the typical transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains but is instead anchored to the plasma membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. T-cadherin may play a role in malignant tumor development as loss of the chromosome locus containing the T-cadherin gene correlates with the development of a variety of cancers. Recently it has been shown that T-cadherin can act as a receptor for hexameric and high-molecular weight forms of adiponectin, suggesting that T-cadherin may also play a role in metabolic regulation.

Great-grandmother becomes Sorrento's police chief
SORRENTO- A 71-year-old great-grandmother appears to be the de facto police chief of this small town since all of her opponents withdrew.
Fern Barnett is now listed as the "unopposed" candidate on the Secretary of State's candidate's list. Barnett is listed as a Democrat.
"Different things have been happening and I felt like people in town are not getting a fair chance to make an intelligent decision [about keeping the police department]," Barnett told WBRZ News 2 in an interview in August.
But, she may be in charge of a department that does not exist. Voters are being asked to close the police department for good and the town council effectively shut down the department by not funding it this summer. The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office is patrolling the town.

As rumored, Amazon’s Prime Day 2020 returns October 13 and 14. And, not unlike any of the previous Prime Days, this one is loaded with consumer temptations in categories like toys, TVs, electronics, fashion, home, and, of course, Amazon devices.
Get a head start on the bargains
Prime Day has become more like Prime 15 Days because of the carrots the retailer started dangling on Tuesday. Below is a list of some deals shoppers can expect to see. (*All deals are accurate at the time of publishing but are subject to change.)
Amazon Devices: Shoppers can buy two Echo Dot devices for $39.98 and Fire TV Recast for $129.99 so people can store up to 75 hours of programming. There’s also a deal on smart home security with Amazon’s Blink Mini indoor cameras, which will be discounted to $24.99 per unit.
Amazon Music: Amazon is still woefully behind Spotify in the number of paid subscribers, but it’s not giving up yet. For just 99 cents, Prime members who haven’t yet tried Amazon Music Unlimited (being a new subscriber is key, apparently) can get four free months of the premium, ad-free streaming tier.
Audible: Book lovers who like taking their books on the go in audio form can save $50 on a year of Audible Premium Plus.
Kindle Unlimited: New customers to Kindle Unlimited save 50 percent off a 6-month subscription.
Amazon Fashion: The newest niche Amazon is shooting for is high fashion, so it’s no surprise that it’s rolling out some larger deals here. Fashion lovers can save up to 30 percent on select Vineyard Vines clothing for men, up to 15 percent on select fall fashion from Shopbop, and up to 30 percent on select styles from Calvin Klein.
Home: Deals include up to 20 percent or more off on furniture brands like Lane Home Furnishings, Walker Edison Furniture Company, and Nathan James.
Tools: If Dad likes playing handyman, Mrs. Claus can get a head start on Christmas by saving up to 20 percent on select DEWALT saws and drills and up to 15 percent on select DEWALT impact driver and drill combo Kits.
Toys: Parents who like the “green” approach to life can save up to 30 percent on select toys from Green Toys.
Alexa, how do I pay for all of this?
Being the crafty retailer that it is, Amazon knows that a little extra grease won’t hurt; it’s offering a $100 gift card for consumers who sign up and are approved for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card..
Prime member Echo Dot users can find daily deals by asking “Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?” As a bonus, effectively immediately and lasting a limited time, new Prime members who sign up using the Echo Dot can get a $5 Amazon credit simply by saying, “Alexa, sign me up for Prime.”
Amazon is also taking a QVC-ish angle with Amazon Live. Pitching everything from kitchen appliances to fashion wear, the hosted Amazon Live stream will show off products and take advantage of special deals the instant they go live. To watch, visit Amazon’s site here and via the Amazon Shopping app on Fire TV.
Prime Day 2020 also has a kind gesture to all the small businesses who pushed forward through COVID-19. In support of those efforts, Amazon is investing an additional $100 million in special Prime Day and holiday promotional programs by offering a $10 credit to use on Prime Day to members who spend $10 on items sold by select small businesses in Amazon’s store.

Irrfan Khan Buried In Versova Cemetery, Son Babil And Ayan Perform Last Rites
In the most heart-breaking update, exceptional actor Irrfan Khan passed away after battling cancer today. The whole country is mourning for a powerhouse talent that went away too soon.
Irrfan Khan's sons, Ayan Khan and Babil Khan along with mother Sutupa Khan were spotted at the hospital Irrfan Khan passed away in.
It is now being reported that Irrfan Khan's funeral has taken place. The actor’s representatives released a statement that read:
Irrfan was buried at the Versova Karastan in Mumbai at 3 pm this afternoon soon after the news of his passing away was announced. In presence were his family, close relatives, and friends. Everyone paid their final respects and mourned the loss of his passing away. We pray for his peace and we hope he’s in a better place today. He was strong in his fight, and we all have to be strong too in this loss.
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia was also seen at the hospital in a mask. He said, “I knew him and became friends since National School of Drama (NSD) days, was two years senior to me (1986). This has happened at such a time of coronavirus to such a big actor. I am sad how small his ‘janaza’ (funeral) will be, else it would have been a ‘hujoom’ (mammoth turnout)…I am feeling so sad and living in Mumbai I can’t be a part of it.”
Among those from the industry who managed to attend Irrfan Khan's funeral were Vishal Bharadwaj, Mika, and filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia.
Here's to one of our best actors, you might have gone but an artist like you can never be erased because you will live in our hearts. Rest in peace, Irrfan Khan.

Everybody looks down at their toenails and if one is black, the first thing they think of is toenail fungus – not melanoma under the nail. The important thing to know is that not all black toenails are fungal toenails, and sometimes a black toenail means a malignant melanoma.
The problem is that if you choose to treat your problem as a fungal toenail and you are wrong, then you are giving the melanoma a chance to spread – which is the absolute last thing you want to do.
What exactly is melanoma under the nail?
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. It can appear anywhere, but when melanoma is under the toenail, it is frequently mistaken for something else.
Melanoma under the toenail is not nearly as common as a fungal toenail, which is why it is so often overlooked. If ignored, it can become deadly.
Bob Marley, a famous reggae musician, died from a melanoma under the toenail that was not treated before it spread.
What does melanoma under a toenail look like?
Melanoma under the toenail looks very much like a fungal toenail. The nail can be thickened, discolored, and deformed – just like a fungal toenail. Sometimes melanoma under the nail has black streaks, or even digs in just like an ingrown toenail.
More photos, which look even more like fungal toenails, can be found here.
How do you diagnose melanoma under the toenail?
A sample of the toenail and nail bed should be sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. This is a simple procedure that is usually performed in the office. I personally prefer sending the nail samples to a laboratory that has a lot of experience in diagnosing melanoma under the toenail, to make sure the melanoma is not misdiagnosed. Results usually come back within a week or two.
Treatment of Melanoma under the toenail
Melanoma should be removed. The exact treatment will depend on the depth of the melanoma (also known as the stage). Usually a margin of healthy tissue is removed to make sure the entire melanoma is removed. If the melanoma is not caught early enough, the toe may need to be amputated.
If notice any changes in your toenails, call 845-298-9074 to set up an appointment at Hollowbrook Foot Specialists. Be sure not to assume you have a fungal toenail and do not treat the problem yourself. Your best bet is to see an board certified expert in Podiatric Medicine and Foot Surgery, such as Dr. David Schlam.

Family gatherings are more commonplace in December, and older adults without families can experience more acute social isolation. Since isolation is both a risk factor for and a consequence of elder abuse, we decided to ask you - our social media followers and colleagues - to commit to speaking with an older adult in December. Our hope was that, by sharing this campaign, we could support older adults and contribute towards the prevention of elder abuse during the 2017 holiday season. More →
Founded in 1990, the New York Legal Assistance Group provides high quality, free civil legal services to low-income New Yorkers who cannot afford attorneys. Our comprehensive range of services includes direct representation, case consultation, advocacy, community education, training, financial counseling, and impact litigation. New York’s low-income elderly population is on the rise, both due to aging baby boomers and increasing human longevity, which unfortunately does not guarantee less frailty with age. These seniors strive to continue enjoying the comfort and support of their loved ones, familiar environments, and control over their routines and finances. However, their independence is threatened when they lack access to proper health care and home care, face unstable housing situations, and/or have dwindling financial resources that may force them into debt. Many have never planned ahead for a time when they may not be able to make financial or health decisions for themselves and are therefore at risk of not having their wishes carried out.
NYLAG’s Elder Law Project addresses these needs through comprehensive civil legal services, community education, professional training and impact litigation. Primary services include: government benefits (Medicare, Medicare, Medicaid, home care, and food stamps); advance directives (powers of attorney and health care proxies); consumer law; housing; elder abuse/neglect

Australia is arming itself. What will the ‘kangaroos’ buy with the new defense budget?
This post was published in Defence 24. The point of view expressed in this article is authorial and do not necessarily reflect BM`s editorial stance.
WARSAW, (BM) – According to the recently announced documents regarding changes in the planning of Australia’s defense system since 2020, the country has increased its planned defense spending from approximately USD 135 to USD 187 billion.
Additional funds will be allocated in the coming decade for modernization but also for the acquisition of completely new units.
The previous amount was a forecast from the Australian White Paper of 2016. Since then, as Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the change on July 1, the world has become “poorer, more dangerous and disordered.”
In particular, he pointed to the People’s Republic of China, which has now led to irritations with almost all of its neighbors. Against this background, the relationship of this country with more distant Australia does not look better, especially since Canberra is now very assertively criticizing the PRC, growing almost to enemy number 1.
Increased expenses are to serve to increase Australia’s presence in the region at risk of potential conflict, as well as to improve its partnership with the countries lying there.
For this purpose, two additional multi-purpose supply ships are to be purchased, “up to eight” anti-mine and hydrographic units based on Arafura patrol ships, the planned number of which has been increased from three to four. In addition, six Cape patrol boats are to be purchased. New landing vehicles are also to be purchased.
Development plans also include increasing the fleet of C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft and Airbus C-30A MRTT air refueling, which are currently in service with 12 and six units respectively.
The ability to keep the enemy away from Australia and projecting strength away from the home infrastructure are to be increased. In this context, investments in submarines and advanced impact systems are mentioned.
As for the former, the continuation of the new Attack submarine is announced, which is to be obtained in as many as 12 copies. Six currently serving Collins-type ships are to be maintained, to be modernized. The purchase of nine Hunter frigates is also to be continued.
In addition, the new integrated surveillance system is expected to increase the ability to detect underwater threats on approaches to the Australian continent. And the Jindalee radar network (JORN) is also to be developed to include approaches to the east coast of Australia.
The investments are also to include new sea mines, the successor to the large patrol boat of the Australian Coast Guard ADV Ocean Protector and a new vessel to support possible allied operations in the Pacific. This also promises to introduce modernization to both Canberra-type landing helicopters, which can be seen as a desire to adapt them to take on board short-take fighter jets and vertical landing F-35B.
When it comes to advanced striking systems, first of all, the purchase of new long-range aircraft anti-ship missiles AGM-158C LRASM from the US. For now, it has not been said how many copies of this weapon were purchased, but the estimated cost of this purchase is as yet USD 553 million, and therefore it will be a large purchase, especially since this weapon is to replace the fully used currently used AGM-84 Harpoon missiles, increasing the range destruction from 124 to 370 km.
Australian Super Hornets are to start moving LRASMs next year and all 24 machines of this type will be integrated with them. Initial operational readiness is expected to be achieved in 2023. Australian F-35 is also to be integrated with LRASM, the acquisition of which is to be continued until it reaches 72 copies.
Their purchases are to be accompanied by the acquisition of modern weapons with a larger range and greater efficiency. Drone accompanying them, which are now being developed on behalf of Australia together with Boeing under the name Loyal Wingman, are also to be bought.
Purchases are also to include reconnaissance and surveillance drone from the MQ-9B Sky Guardian and MQ-4C Triton programs. Purchases of electronic combat aircraft MC-55A Peregrine and marine patrols P-8A Poseidon will be continued. The E-7A Wedgetail and F-18G Growler early warning aircraft will be sought after. It is possible that F-35 will also perform in the latter role.
The investments will also include programs for future weapons: hypersonic missiles, advanced systems systems for aircraft. Australia also wants to increase its self-sufficiency in the conduct of armed conflict. This is to be achieved by further increasing own industrial capabilities, expanded weapon and fuel storage facilities.
The improvement of the ability to respond to hybrid threats will in turn cover issues related to cybersecurity (as well as “offensive capabilities” in the field of cyber), development of special forces, strengthening reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities, including those conducted through satellites.
The Australian Land Army is expected to receive active defense systems that will be installed on Hawkei and Bushmaster armored vehicles. Two regiments of self-propelled howitzers will be purchased (previously planned to acquire one), which are to be built in their own industry.
The purchase of self-propelled artillery is significant because today the Australian Army has only towed howitzers M777. The successor to the M1A1 Abrams tanks will also be introduced, but these vehicles will be upgraded sooner. In addition, purchases of Boxer reconnaissance transporters replacing ASLAV and the program of the future BWP will be continued.
Purchases of unmanned ground vehicles and a wide spectrum of anti-tank weapons are planned (talked about directed energy systems and “smart” mines, alongside the already purchased pp. Spike LR2). The striking capabilities of army aviation, reconnaissance, surveillance and intelligence, electronic warfare and network-centric command will also be developed.
In addition, the support that the armed forces will be able to give to civil authorities in the area of response to crises such as natural disasters or medical care will be strengthened, which in the current situation is quite understandable.

When building our completely off-grid house, we were reliant upon collecting rainwater which is stored in a very large, underground tank. This is then pumped into the house, on-demand, after first going through a water treatment plant.
Our main concern, given the abundance of trees on our land, was to ensure that the underground tank didn’t get clogged with leaves and debris coming down the gutters and fall pipes. Whilst there are devices that can be put into the gutters themselves, these can’t stop everything. (Also cleaning gutters involves steps or ladders, which can be dangerous. The cleaning of the Gutter Mate is done with your feet firmly on the ground).
Searching for a solution on the internet, I came across Gutter Mate and purchased seven (7) sets, one for each fall pipe on our house and outbuildings. They have worked like a dream, stopping large amounts of debris from polluting our underground tank. One of the main advantages is that they are so very easy to clean.
Simon was able to position the Gutter Mate almost at ground level which enabled him to just look down into the filter to inspect for debris. Cleaning was a 30 second job. Because of the design of the Gutter Mate, the diverter outlet was capped off with the blanking cap provided and the main outlet from the filter was used taking all the flow from the downpipe.
The use of the GutterMate Filters has eliminated the need for the filter in the underground tank and the associated issues with cleaning such a filter. With the GutterMate Filter anyone can inspect and clean the filter, this is not the case with in tank or underground filters.
This is a very good product and the support from the Company has been first class.

More data is being generated than can be analysed - but enough of it is being studied to spot patterns in behaviour and genes to speed up drug discovery and development.
Though the data scientists need to make sure they feed in the right data. For example, in a study designed to detect hip fractures, it turned out the AI was using the patient's age and particularly the imaging device model to make its prediction. This worked because portable scanners are only used then the patient is too immobile to get to a hospital - and this limitation turned out to be a bigger indicator than any details on the image itself.

Troops who worked at burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as those exposed to multiple dust storms during war-zone deployments, have higher rates of common respiratory illnesses like asthma and emphysema, as well as rare lung disorders, according to data drawn from the Veterans Affairs Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry.
Service members who experienced frequent exposures to dust and burn pits also report increased health problems like insomnia and high blood pressure. But they don’t appear to have higher rates of cancer when compared with troops who deployed but had little or no such exposure, according to a new Department of Veterans Affairs report.
The findings, in a report posted online by VA in June, are based on questionnaires completed by more than 28,000 veterans.
According to the report, 30% of participants who said they were exposed to burn pits say they’ve been diagnosed with respiratory diseases other than allergies, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis topping the list.

Lindsay Lohan returned to court Wednesday for the felony grand theft charges she faces after allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California jewelry store.
Judge Keith Schwartz told Lohan today that if she pleads guilty to jewelry theft and accepts the plea deal, she will have to serve jail time.
“I don’t care that you’re Lindsay Lohan,” Schwartz told Lohan bluntly.
“One of the things about me is that I treat everybody the same,” Schwartz said. “What I look to in sentencing is, ‘What is the prior record?’ In this particular case, there has been so much speculation in the press [that] I’m just going to tell you a couple of things: If you plead in front of me, you are going to jail. There might be an issue about the amount of time, but if the case settles here, you will be doing to jail.”
TMZ is reporting that the plea deal is for 6 months of jail time.
Judge Schwartz is requiring that Lohan return to his courtroom on March 10 with her decision to accept the plea deal or go before another judge for a preliminary hearing and later trial.

Department of Defense Instruction 1000.15 and Private Organization Liability
SUBJECT: Department of Defense Instruction 1000.15 and Private Organization Liability
1. PURPOSE. To outline the requirements of Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 1000.15 regarding liability and what a Private Organization (PO) and its membership can do to protect their interests.
a. DODI 1000.15, at paragraph 6.3.3 requires, “Documentation indicating an understanding by all members as to whether they are personally liable if the assets are insufficient to discharge all liabilities.” The issue of liability brings up two areas of the law whereby a member of a PO may become personally liable for the liabilities of the PO. These liabilities can either stem from a contractual obligation or from a tortious act.
(1) Contracts. An agreement between two or more parties (an individual or an entity) that obliges each party to do or not to do a certain thing. Technically, a valid contract requires an offer, an acceptance of that offer, and, consideration (some right, interest, profit or benefit accruing to the one party, or some forbearance, detriment, loss or responsibility given, suffered or undertaken by the other).
(2) Torts. In French, "tort" means “a wrong." Tort refers to that body of law, which allows an injured person to obtain compensation from the person who caused the injury. People are expected to conduct themselves without injuring others. When they do so, either intentionally or by negligence, they can be required by a court to pay money to the injured party ("damages") so that, ultimately, they will suffer the pain cause by their action.
(3) Note, that Kansas law does not have a statute that states when a member of a PO can be held personally liable for the debts of the organization. Our research also did not disclose a court case where a member of an organization has been found personally liable for the organizational debts absent some action on the member’s part beyond that of being a member of the organization. These two facts together indicate that general principles of law and the specific factual scenario will determine when and if a member would be held liable. These same two facts would show that the risk of being found personally liable for the debts of the PO to be very low.
b. There are two methods to protect against personal liability by the members of a PO for the liabilities of the PO: insurance and incorporation.
(1) Insurance. The DODI 1000.15, at paragraph 6.9, requires that “Adequate insurance, as defined by the Service concerned, shall be secured by the organization to protect against public liability and property damage claims or other legal actions that may arise as a result of activities of the organization or one or more of its members acting in its behalf, or the operations of any equipment/apparatus or devise under the control and responsibility of the private organization.” Note, neither DOD nor Department of the Army (DA) has defined adequate insurance. There are commercial insurance companies which sell business insurance which could be tailored to a PO. One example is USAA, which has its business insurance program underwritten by The Hartford. Their number is (800) 343-1546, ext. 6-9645 to obtain a quote or if you have questions or need assistance.
(2) Incorporation. A legal entity, allowed by legislation, which permits a group of people, as shareholders (for-profit companies) or members (non-profit companies), to create an organization, which can then focus on pursuing set objectives, and empowered with legal rights which are usually only reserved for individuals, such as to sue and be sued, own property, hire employees or loan and borrow money. Of key concern is that once incorporated, the PO will protect its membership from personal liability. The only caveat being if a member acts in an intentional egregious manner or commits gross negligence in the performance of their duties, that a court would “pierce the corporate veil” and allow an action against that person in their individual capacity. Gross negligence is any action or an omission in reckless disregard of the consequences to the safety or property of another. A PO, depending on the nature of its activities, can incorporate with the State of Kansas or with the United States.
(a) To incorporate within the State of Kansas contact the Kansas Secretary of State, Corporations Division. Their website is www.kssos.org. The Corporation Division administers the Kansas General Corporation Code, the Kansas Limited Liability Act, the Kansas Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and other related laws. Forms and procedures to follow in forming and maintaining business entities, as well as business records may be found here. Fees to the State of Kansas, for incorporation, range from as small as $20 (for a nonprofit corporation) to as high as $150 (for most for-profit incorporation). To become a Nonprofit Corporation within the State of Kansas, a PO must first file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and qualify under one of more than 25 categories of tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. For more information contact the IRS at (800) 829-1040 or at their website, www.irs.ustreas.gov. The State of Kansas publishes a detailed handbook each year, which is available on their website called the Kansas Corporate Handbook.
(b) There are three main characteristics that distinguish a nonprofit organization from a business enterprise. They are: (1) Significant amounts of revenues are received from providers or entities that do not expect to receive either repayment or economic benefits relative to the amounts provided; (2) There is no defined ownership that can be sold, redeemed, transferred; nor is there entitlement to a share of the assets if the organization is liquidated; and (3) The purpose of the operation is not to produce a profit.

staying for a last few years.
story very briefly. I hope that you would find it useful and it would help you in making a decision regarding choosing greatest accommodation for you and your friends.
What are the most preferable travel destinations in European Countries? Possibly the busiest air routes inside and outside european continent are London / Heathrow and Paris/ Charles De Gaulle. Nevertheless, there are plenty of beautiful places which aren't that popular. We reccmoent you to check flights to Ljubljana or flights to st. Petersburg.
The main step is to collect the minimum principles needed to start the equipment. You will need appliances such as case, power supply or mainboard.
Even though contemporarily Santorini still doesn’t belong to the most often visited places on the planet, in this case we should not forget that rising number of people, who have either no idea where to spend their summer holidays or have enough of spending their time in miscellaneous crowded places, pick it and almost in every single case not regret their decisions.
Hotels in Santorini – why is this type of accommodation especially advised for various sorts of customers?
Improving percentage of people, who try to find an amazing place for their summer holidays, frequently get to know that their move isn’t the best. It is proved by the fact that, first of all, in order to make a good decision, there are various factors that have to be taken into analysis. In this case they also depend on the preferences of the clients, which implies that almost everyone of us has his own preferences and likes something else.

I've been googling for hours and I'm still not sure how to resolve this situation.
Defining the problem
- many articles on the web are written for heavy people with relatively high body fat percentage
- the articles are inconclusive on how much protein should a person consume per 1 meal
- the amount of protein per 1 meal times number of meals doesn't equal the recommended value for low LBM people
Putting down the exact values
- my exact total body weight is 63 kg (134 lbs)
- my body fat percentage is around 6%
- my lean body mass (LBS) is 57 kg (126 lbs)
The photo of me with the values stated above, provided for better understanding of the situation:
What I do and what this question is and isn't about
- I lift weights 5 times a week
- In this question, I want to discuss protein and protein only. The consumption of carbohydrates and/or fats should be completely irrelevant to this thread
- I do not want to gain fat
The recommended rules
The recommended rule no. 1:
"One needs to consume 20 grams of protein per one meal for the body to start repairing muscle tissue."
The recommended rule no. 2:
One needs to consume 25 grams of protein per one meal for the body to start repairing muscle tissue."
The recommended rule no 3:
"Do not consume more than 30 grams of protein per one meal, as the body cannot make use of more and will store the rest into fat.
The recommended rule no. 4:
"The total amount of protein consumed per day should be 2 times your body weight in kg." (this number varies)
The recommended rule no. 5:
"Eat at least 6 meals a day."
The problem arising from the rules above
Let's say that consuming 20 grams of protein per 1 meal is enough. If we multiply it by 6 meals a day, that makes it 120 grams of protein per day, which is only a bit more than what one of the rules say: 2 times 57 (LMS in kg) = 114 grams of protein per day.
However, if the rule about consuming 20 grams of protein per 1 meal is wrong and it should be 25 grams per 1 meal, it would make it 25 x 6 = 150 grams of protein per day, which is a lot more what I should consume. If the rule is correct at all, right?
So is the rule correct? Should I consume only 114 grams of protein per day? That seems like quite a low number to me.
Could someone shed a light on this once and for all?

“The Lord works in mysterious ways,” is a commonly held belief that many Christians hold dear to their hearts. For one family, this statement could not be any truer.
The Ralph Hillman family of Murfreesboro lived a picture perfect life until a mysterious illness called Reye’s syndrome, struck their seven year old son. “Rejoice in the Lord Always” by Bill Conger follows the story of Jeffrey Hillman’s journey living with Reye’s syndrome, which is a potentially fatal illness that affects the brain and liver.
Conger was inspired to write Jeffrey’s story in order to show others the awesome power of God’s presence through faith.
Conger will be in Smithville for a book signing of "Rejoice in the Lord Always: The Jeff Hillman Story" at F. Z. Webb & Sons Gifts Thursday, December 5 from 3:30-7:00 p.m. and Saturday, December 7 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. He will also have a book signing at Justin Potter Library on Saturday, December 14 from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon.
“I think seeing a family face a crisis with faith and an attitude of ‘why not us’ rather than ‘why me’ is in direct contrast to society’s usual victimized mentality,” said Conger. “This attitude shows real strength and inspired me to want to write their story so I could share it with others.”
In an interview with WJLE recently, Conger said he learned of the story in a public speaking class at MTSU taught by Jeff's father, Ralph. "The family had taken a trip to Canada on a family vacation. On the way back, Jeff started to feel poorly. His folks gave him some children's aspirin to try and help him feel better but that didn't help. A few days later he contracted Reye's syndrome, which was practically an unknown disease at the time. He was later hospitalized at Vanderbilt hospital," said Conger.
As the story unfolded, Conger learned how the boy experienced a dramatic healing, after coming face to face with death. "I was pretty amazed with this story, just from a writer's standpoint but in the beginning I was cynical. While I am a Christian and grew up in the church, somehow I expected the miracles of today to be more outstanding like when Moses parted the Red Sea instead of coming in small increments. I was also jaded having seen some shady characters in TV ministries at the time that purported to heal people. I was kind of turned off by that and it made me skeptical. But the more I got to know Ralph and his family and saw that they weren't charlatans and that they were sincere Christians and walked the Christian walk, I started to believe more and more in their story. It changed my life spiritually and I grew more as a Christian and deeper in my faith as a result of learning more about Jeff," said Conger.
A Smithville native, Conger is a freelance writer who has penned articles for publications and websites including American Songwriter, CMT.com, VH-1.com, GACTV.com, Bluegrass Unlimited, Homecoming, Fostering Families, and ParentLife. He was a reporter and anchor for WSM AM and a news reporter for local stations in Middle Tennessee. Conger's first broadcasting job was as a part time staff announcer at WJLE during his high school years in the 1980's. Conger now lives in Mount Juliet with his wife Alyssa, and son, Gavin Conger. He is a school counselor at DeKalb West School in Liberty.

Alex Ross, The New Yorker, 14 décembre 2019Jürg Frey’s ethereal Third String Quartet
Alex Ross, The New Yorker, 11 décembre 2017
Alex Ross, The New Yorker, 14 décembre 2016Alex Ross — Tweeter: My favorite disc of the year — extraordinary playing, extraordinary music.
Alex Ross, WQXR, 6 novembre 2016This is music of enveloping mystery and enigmatic beauty.
Jürg Frey belongs to the Wandelweiser group of composers, who tend to write slow, quiet, sparse music, interspersed with significant silences. Frey’s Third Quartet is to some extent a typical Wandelweiser creation, with dynamic markings that range from pp to ppppp. Less typical is the whispery voluptuousness of the harmony, which sometimes recalls Schreker or early Schoenberg. This is music of enveloping mystery and enigmatic beauty.

New regional report highlights fresh hope and opportunity for Yorkshire and Humber towns
A new report from a Yorkshire and Humber planning and development consultancy lifts the lid on the state of the region’s town centres and funding driving regeneration and job creation.
The ‘Moving on up? Levelling up town centres across Northern England’ Insight report by Leeds firm Lichfields, comes at a time of ‘seismic’ change for local cities and towns.
The last 12 months have been challenging, says the report, as pandemic and lockdowns have had a huge impact on regional communities as working patterns have changed and social distancing measures continue to affect millions of people.
High street retailers also face significant challenges, notably the growth in online shopping, competition from out-of-town developments, the burden of disproportionate business rates, and changing consumer habits.
The report identifies how places such as Wakefield, Halifax, Rotherham, Barnsley, Grimsby and Scarborough are fighting back to meet the challenges and benefitting from a £522m funding package allocated to the region.
This includes £96m from the £830m Future High Streets Fund which is helping to deliver transformative change to struggling high streets, while £413m secured from the £3.6bn Towns Fund is seeing regional towns bringing forward imaginative proposals for economic growth.
A further £13m secured from the High Street Heritage Action Zones is fuelling economic, social and cultural recovery through the regeneration of historic town centre areas.
The report also covers six themes that are underpinning strategies to transform towns and pull in more people. Relocating health and well-being facilities closer to transport hubs generates much-needed footfall while more town centre-based education facilities create jobs, inject fresh life into vacant buildings and stimulate growth.
New tourism and heritage plans are also being developed to attract visitors keen to see the rich and diverse history of northern places, pumping millions of pounds in local economies.
Funding the development of space to accommodate new digital and creative industries and repurposing retail space as affordable and attractive living, is seen as critical to the future vibrancy and culture of towns and creating hundreds of new jobs. The report says ‘…maintaining a meaningful 24-hours population in town centres will…drive demand for services and facilities, which contribute to the vitality of the centres’.
As part of its research, the consultancy analysed over 100 funding bids, identifying important themes in the report that local authorities, planners and policy makers see as drivers of town centre regeneration and repurposing. This proactive approach is reflected in a package of funding streams that have seen a great deal of uptake across the region, says Lichfields.
Anna Turton, planning director at Lichfields Leeds office, said: “The challenges faced by our regional town centres are well-documented and there is no doubt they have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“However, there are many positives on the horizon and our research points to a strong, vibrant and successful future for those northern towns that take advantage of the funding streams and pursue exciting and innovative strategies designed to transform the heart and soul of our high streets.”

Excursion under the full moon with Walk and Talk Ibiza
New free excursion with Wand Talk Ibiza from Cala Xarraca and under the full moon on Tuesday 19 of February 2019, cheer up to this plan!
The winter season is the best time to go for a walk around the island and enjoy its incredible natural beauties before the massive arrival of tourists in spring. That is why in this period the appetizing plans multiply in this sense.
The hiking group Walk and Talk Ibiza returns to organize one of his periodic walks in the north of the island, this time under the wonderful light of the full moon.
The excursion is scheduled on Tuesday 19 of February of 2019 from the 19 hours and even 22 hours approximately. As usual, the activity is carried out in collaboration with the City of San Juan and is totally free. Even so, it does not hurt to confirm attendance by calling +34 +626 481 724 XNUMX. In this issue you can also, if you wish, consult any doubt that may arise.
The excursion starts from the beach of Cala Xarraca and follow an itinerary until Sa Punta de Xarracó, from where you can contemplate the cove bathed in the light of the moon.
It `s important to carry comfortable clothes and shoes, a Lantern to illuminate the route and something to eat and drink. And of course, eager to enjoy this beautiful free plan!

So how did you really feel about ‘Florence Foster Jenkins?’
Hello Mick: Your review of “Florence Foster Jenkins” has the little man clapping — the pink section has him sitting. I saw the movie and I prefer the clapping.
Hello Joan: The Pink had it right. I just pressed the wrong button for the daily, so the wrong icon appeared with the review. Sorry about that.
Dear Mick: Last night I started a movie and immediately recognized a beach outside of Vancouver, Canada. Do you find the money saved filming in Canada takes away from the overall quality of the movie?
Dear Bill: I wouldn’t say that using the wrong location automatically detracts from a movie. However, if you actually know the location being depicted (or the location being fobbed off as the real location), it’s going to be distracting. Recently, I saw “Nerve,” which is set in Staten Island. It just so happens that I’m from Staten Island, so I really appreciated the honest use of locations — including the Colonnade Diner, which has been a popular spot for almost 40 years, and which I take my mother to every time I come to visit. Two characters end up there one night, and that’s where they really would go. But does that really make the movie better? Sure, but only for the small percentage of people who know the Colonnade diner.
Dear Mick: How do you rate good film scores? Do you prefer traditional or idiosyncratic? What are some of your favorites?
Dear Ed: Traditional, I guess, because I’m assuming traditional to be anything that doesn’t call attention to itself as a soundtrack. I like a lot of the old Herbert Stothart MGM scores, particularly for period pieces. I like a lot of the Max Steiner Warners scores — very dramatic and blatant. Carl Davis has written some beautiful scores for silent films, particularly “The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg,” and “The Crowd.” Patrick Doyle’s lovely score to Kenneth Branagh’s “Much Ado About Nothing” is a big part of the movie’s effectiveness. I could say the same about Terence Blanchard’s score to “25th Hour.” And Maurice Jarre’s music for “Lawrence of Arabia” is unforgettable. I love what John Williams did for “Schindler’s List” and the original “Jurassic Park.” Then of course there are the great Italians: Ennio Morricone, particularly for “Cinema Paradiso”; and Nino Rota for “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Godfather.” In the less traditional category, I’m in awe of everything that Giovanni Fusco did for Michelangelo Antonioni’s movies, particularly “The Eclipse.” And I thoroughly enjoyed a recent score the annoyed a lot of people, Alexandre Desplat’s brooding, histrionic music for “3 Hearts.”
Dear Mick: When was the last time a movie moved you to tears?
Dear Kathleen: That happens more often than you’d imagine, assuming you mean tears but not weeping or sobbing or gnashing of teeth. Generally, tragic endings leave me too stunned for tears. Instead, what usually gets me dewy-eyed are unexpected happy endings (“Breakfast at Tiffanys”) or happy moments in the midst of unhappiness. However, you’re asking me for the last time that happened, and I can tell you — just now! I started thinking of scenes that move me and remembered that moment in “One Day” (2011) when it goes back in time, and Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway meet and kiss in the middle of the street. It’s the end of the movie, and by this time we know everything that’s going to happen to them. Yet here they are. Alive. Young. Having their moment. Which is all anyone can really ask for, and all anyone can hope to get. To be alive while you’re alive. Now I ask you, how on earth did that movie bomb at the box office? I’m a puddle just thinking about it. So anyway, congratulations, this is the first Ask Mick letter that has ever moved me to tears. Now excuse me, while I go blow my nose.
Have a question? Ask Mick LaSalle at email@example.com. Include your name and city for publication, and a phone number for verification. Letters may be edited for clarity and length.

Serving mainly women below the poverty line in the Bay Area, Opportunity Fund says it has lent $18 million directly to small businesses since its founding in 1995, stimulating $22 million in additional economic activity each year.
The organization disbursed 148 loans in 2008.
In addition to loans, the Opportunity Fund also provides IDAs, essentially ''micro savings accounts'' for small businesses. After the owners complete money management training and successfully save for six months, the nonprofit kicks in a few thousand dollars of free money as an incentive to save more.
