UPDATE for anyone who signed the petition Do Not Roll Out Covid-19 Passports
This week, the Government gave its official response to the petition – a response which threatens yet more harm to human rights and civil liberties.
On 5th July, Sajid Javid told the House of Commons that the Government has determined there is “a public health benefit to covid-status certification,” but that “the burden of implementing such a system, to businesses and individuals not yet fully vaccinated, would be disproportionate to that benefit at this stage of the pandemic.”
However, he also stated that individual organisations may make a discretionary choice to require covid-status certification (for example, via the NHS app) to “help keep their premises safe”, although “essential services” should not do this.
Furthermore, the Government will keep the option of routine covid-status certification “under review“, as “certification could provide a means of keeping businesses open if the country is facing a difficult situation in autumn or winter.”

News has filtered through that the crema de la crema is returning. Jobe Watson will return to Essendon.
The 2012 Brownlow medallist has abandoned his career as a New York barista, and will try once again to be best-on-ground instead of best-on-grounds. We're confident he gave the coffee thing his best shot.
But enough bad coffee puns for a moment. The question everyone is asking is: what's with that cap? Is he trying to send us all a message? The Huffington Post Australia has put that question to Watson's management.
For now, we can inform you that the cap is part of the range by the US-based women's clothing label Wildfang. Yes, Jobe is wearing a girl's hat. Here's what the blurb says about said item.
Rock this snapback and you are getting down with some of the most badass women in the game. From artists to musicians, athletes to CEOs, feminists are getting it done and changing the world.
Word out of Melbourne is that he wore the cap as a gesture of thanks to his New York housemate Jackie, who helped him through tough times during his ASADA-enforced ban, and who has been educating him on equality in the workplace.
"She was educating me on gender equality and she bought that hat for me and I told her I would wear it if I was ever going to do a media conference here," Watson told the Herald Sun.
Now back to some bad coffee puns.
Watson, 31, was one of the pod of players who left the Bombers on a 12 month suspension because of the Essendon supplements scandal. He will be 32 by the time the 2017 season begins.
The status of his Brownlow Medal remains uncertain for now, and Watson's 200-game, 111-goal football career was also believed to be in the balance. Watson was disillusioned with the fallout from the supplements program which Essendon club legend James Hird oversaw as coach. There were fears he would leave football.
But those fears evaporated like steam this Friday morning.
"I'm really excited to be back at the Essendon Football Club and I'm ready to play at the highest level," Watson told a Friday morning press conference in Melbourne. "I'm really happy and content with the decision that I've made.
"When I left Australia I didn't think I'd be coming back to play," he said. "I was really fortunate I was living in New York with a flatmate I was able to open up to and be honest with about how I was feeling."
Watson confessed that he was a bit of a drip when it came to making a decent brew.
"I struggled... almond milk is a nightmare to work with," he joked.
For the uninitiated, almond milk is almost impossible to turn into froth. Whether Watson can add body and richness to the Bombers 2017 campaign remains to be seen.
As for the cap that says "feminist"? We have questions.

Times change — crowds may not gob at Elvis Costello any more, now he spits at them.
It is not deliberate, just an indication of the enthusiasm he purveys on stage, and which last night gave the UEA crowd their money's worth.
For more than two hours, through pursed lips he cursed his way through some famous choruses.
Elvis has written some classics in his time but the inadequacies of his backing band do not do them justice on stage. More to the point, he would do us all a favour if he stuck to song writing and left the vocals to someone who can sing.
Support band The Pogues seem to have been on the front page of every conceivable music magazine recently.
They are certainly interesting and very funny but why so much hype about a bunch of seemingly drunken Irish lads who, while acting like folk music's answer to The Clash, are merely doing what people like The Clancy Brothers have been so successful at since the 60s?

Vance's Chance: JPD veteran nominated as next chief
Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber nominated Lee Vance to become the city's next police chief, replacing former Chief Lindsey Horton, who resigned in July.
Speaking with the media Friday afternoon, the elated Vance first thanked God, then Yarber and the community for finally fulfilling his goal of helming the city's police department.
Earlier this week, Yarber introduced Vance along with Canton Assistant Police Chief Juan Cloy as his top two nominees for the position. Vance said the feedback from those events helped him this week.
"I know from talking to (Mayor Yarber) that citizen input was very, very important. While I don't know of any scientific polls that were being done," he said. "I know I got overwhelming support from the public."
Vance's nomination will have to go before the City Council for approval. The Council's next scheduled meeting is at 9 a.m. on Monday where members will be discussing the city's upcoming budget. However, Vance's confirmation could occur during any Council meeting or if a special session is called.
The nomination ends a nearly month-long process of naming a permanent police chief for the city following Horton's resignation after several years serving with JPD, including as chief during the last year.
Vance said Yarber's choice demonstrated a showing of faith in his abilities as the next police chief. "He showed a great deal of faith that no other past mayor has shown," Vance said.
While many have supported Vance's nomination, citing his past experience as interim chief, he said that is actually a misnomer. In fact, he said, the only time he's officially been interim chief - as appointed by the mayor - was last month when Yarber called him to take over the temporary role.
The other three times, he's only unofficially help the spot, he said. Friday's announcement, he said, is the answer to a prayer.
"At the end, that's what all this about. We have to serve the people that pay us," said Vance.
"I really believe in strict enforcement, high visibility, and what I'm really going to work on, because quite honestly, numerically we do a very good job of fighting crime in our city," he added. "A lot of our crime is down across the board."


Hana Ripp is rejoicing after a police officer came to the rescue in a way most aren’t usually trained to protect and serve.
It all began when Ripp was on her way to Synagogue service Friday evening. She stopped at the Fry’s Fuel Center on 1st Avenue and Rodger Road to fill up on gas, but suddenly, her car wouldn’t start.
Though it was early evening, the temperature in Tucson was well over 100 F.
“Our police force gets such horrible publicity; yet, I’ve had the best interactions with both the police and sheriff’s department for over 35 years,” Ripp recalled.
She told KGUN 9 the heat and humidity were getting to her due to an emphysema diagnosis.
“From crisis times in the 90’s with Deputy Almodova, to Friday with Officer Jeff Benedictine on the police force,” Ripp shared, “Thank you to those who serve and protect us!”
During their interaction, she learned the officer’s grandparents were from Mexico and had taught him how to fix cars. He filled the car’s radiator and explained what was going on.
This helped her remain calm.
Ripp is a first-generation Holocaust survivor. She was born outside Dachau, Germany in 1946 to Polish parents.
Her family eventually moved to Tucson in 1975, where her local involvement began with the Jewish community. Ripp’s pursuits soon spread out across the Old Pueblo.
Back in 1993, former U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini honored her for helping develop Tucson as a model community for the arts. Ripp says her passions still lie in uniting people through the power of music and dancing.


The 2017 edition of the KTM RC 390 was recently launched in January, 2017. The new KTM RC 390 gets cosmetic updates and new features. It now gets a black and orange colour scheme, but with fresh graphic design in white. The body of the bike have orange-coloured panels which were previously used only for the trellis frame and alloy wheels. The 2017 KTM RC 390 has been priced at Rs 2.25 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. The new graphics make the KTM motorcycle look sporty and more appealing and another visual distinguish between the new bike and the old bike is the exhaust muffler. Unlike the old RC 390 which has an underbelly exhaust system, the new KTM RC 390 sports a side-mounted exhaust. On the mechanical front, the bike now gets ride-by-wire system which improves the throttle response of the bike and the RC 390 is the only bike in its segment to feature it. Power is derived from the same 373.3cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled mill which is now BS-IV compliant and continues to produce the same power output of 43.5PS at 9000rpm while max torque has been bumped up 1Nm to 36Nm at 7000rpm. The bike gets new adjustable clutch and brake levers. It also gets bigger rear view mirrors, which should make them more usable with a better field of view. The front disc is also a larger 320mm dia unit while ABS remains standard. Suspension and frame of the bike remain unchanged. The BS-IV version of the KTM RC390 weighs 163.5kg which is a massive gain of 15kg in comparison to the older bike.

Marvell appears to have made the first tri-core mobile processor. These tri-core system-on-a-chip solutions will be clocked at an astounding 1.5GHz. We’re hearing about dual-core chips from Qualcomm that do that now, but not tri-core. Marvell says these chips are designed for “ultra-low power, long battery life smartphones and tablets.” Really? Adding in another core […]
As it turns out, you won’t need to break the bank if you want to get your hands on a surprisingly powerful smartphone. Yesterday, we heard about the ST-Ericsson U6715 mobile chipset that would bring smartphones down to about $135, but today it’s even cheaper with the $99 Marvell Pantheon smartphone platform.

While new firmware updates for the PlayStation 3 are occassionally a source of excitement, v4.45 is proving to be nothing but a headache. The stability refresh which launched overnight – and has since been pulled – has caused a gaggle of console owners some serious problems, resulting in their systems failing to boot. Sony’s said that it’s “investigating the issue”.
The download had promised some minor software upgrades and a new option to turn off Trophy notifications at a system level. But it’s resulted in the XMB failing to display on a wealth of systems, rendering the consoles useless. The platform holder’s yet to explain how it intends to restore the broken machines, but we’re sure that its support team’s in for a busy day.
Again, the update has been pulled at the time of typing – but if you do happen to see a notification telling you to refresh your system’s software, we’re going to advise that you steer clear until Sony offers some more information. Let us know if you’ve had any issues with the update in the comments section below.

Flossing and Brushing in the Classroom February is National Children’s Dental Health Month and I, Dr. Marielle Pariseau, a retired dentist from Canada now living in Utah, have chosen to celebrate this special month in a unique way. On January 30th, I launched a 30day Kickstarter Campaign to promote Oh’Pal, a waterless toothbrush I invented to take a bite out of tooth decay. Before we go any further, let’s address the funny name. Here is what Oh'Pal means:
Know the Facts 1. More than Tooth Decay. We all know that eating too many sweets causes tooth decay. What we talk much less about is the fact that sugar plays a role in heart disease, obesity and fatty liver disease. It also plays a role in Type II diabetes, and kidney disease. But why do we keep on eating something we know is bad for us? 2. Sugar is addicting and it reprograms your brain What happens in the brain that makes sugary foods so hard
Oh'Pal makes its debut on Park City TV! A disposable and recyclable toothbrush, Oh'Pal was conceived and born in Park City Utah. What's in Oh'Pal's name? Oh is for oral health, and Pal for best friend. Oh'Pal your soon to be BFF (Best Friend Forever) is coming in February 2017 via a special National Children's Dental Health Month Kickstarter Campaign. Would you put dirty dishes back into your kitchen cupboard? Sticky forks back into the drawer?
To floss or not to floss, that is the question. In his September 4 opinion post in Medical Daily, Dr Tim Pruett states that the media storm started in August with the Associated Press article on the value of flossing will have little impact because 80% of people don’t floss regularly anyway. This raises a question: why are there so few regular flossers? After all, don’t dentists and hygienists admonish their patients, every 6 months, to floss every day
A Smile Tells a Deeper Story There’s nothing more heartwarming than to see a child beam with a smile. Whether it’s an infant displaying adorable gums or a preschooler teasing you with a mischievous grin, their expression tells a story—they’re happy and confident. We want our children and grandchildren to have every advantage for a happy and healthy life. That includes oral health. The Story Behind a Reluctant Smile Although no one called me an ugly duc

text: Tried this for the first time this past week. We went for just a tapas and a drink but it was probably the best drink and tapas we have had. The scallops were 'just off the boat' tender and perfectly seasoned. The lobster mac and cheese had a perfect blend of cheeses and large chunks of lobster. The view is looking out over the ocean. This is now on our 'must' list any time we go to Cape May. Can't wait to try some of the other food items. Oh, I forgot to mention the drinks, I had a mojito made with a pomegranite moonshine that was absolutely delicious. Might have to get a designated driver and work my way down the martini menu!

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic - New Zealand tour of Bangladesh has been postponed on Tuesday.
Black Caps were slated to play two Tests in August-September this year as part of the ICC World Test Championship.
Three Bangladeshi players, including Nazmul Islam, Nafees Iqbal and the former ODI skipper Mashrafe Mortaza, have tested positive for the deadly contagion.
“In the present COVID-19 pandemic scenario, hosting a full cricket series in August 2020 will be a challenge in terms of preparations,” BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said in a statement.
“Under these circumstances, the BCB and NZC (New Zealand Cricket) have felt that the best way forward would be to defer the series,” he added.
The governing bodies from both sides were working on a new schedule for the Test series.
Bangladesh has so far reported more than 100k coronavirus cases with over 1,500 mortality.

While Leicestershire people don't have a beach on our doorstep, one of the most beautiful in all of the UK is just a drive away in Norfolk. Wells-next-the-Sea is a stunning coastal town with an award-winning beach just down the road.
Leicestershire is well placed to take advantage of good road links to Norfolk, with it taking under two and a half hours to reach Wells-next-the-Sea from Leicester city centre. Wells is a gorgeous Norfolk seaside town which sits in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The town's large sandy beach stretches for miles and is bordered by trees, while the town centre is a bustling hub of activity full of places to eat and drink. Wells is also near Holkham Hall, an 18th-century Palladian mansion which offers boating, cycle hire, a museum, deer park and gardens.
The award-winning beach at Wells is vast, unspoilt and beautiful, famous for its Corsican pine trees, sand dunes and beach huts. You can walk for hours along the golden sands and if you're looking for a longer trek, you can get to picturesque Holkham by walking 4.5 miles.
Dogs are allowed on the sand all year round and sunsets viewed from the beach are legendary. Wells' beach is consistently rated as one of the best in Britain and deserves it reputation as a play to unwind.
From April to October, there is also the Wells Beach Bus, which can take you to and from the dunes to Wells.
Wells town and quay
Wells is a bustling small town which boasts great places to eat and drink, with a thriving shopping scene. According to Wells Guide: "At the very heart of Wells lies the Quay – the town's centre of gravity and focus of activity. To the north lie the salt marshes and harbour, the beach and sea. To the south, the homes and businesses of Wells."
It's here you can find shops, amusements and the fishing and pleasure boats which are popular with day trippers. Wells Guide says: "Its the life and soul of Wells."

On the campus of Dartmouth College, the stage is set but no candidates were in sight before the latest showdown.
Perry is in New Hampshire but hasn't had a public event since Saturday in Iowa. His campaign says Perry has practiced more is getting more rest ahead the debate. It's a new tactic after the first three debates cost him his front runner position.
Tuesday will be very important if Perry is to get it back.
"If anyone wants to take advantage of the indications of disconent with Romney himself or with the field in general, I think the debate is a really good opportunity for that," said Chris Galdieri with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads by 18 points according to a poll released this afternoon. Herman Cain is in second place, followed by Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and then Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry are tied with just 4 percent of the vote.
"Romney is sort of a hometown favorite and I'm not sure Perry's brand of more comabtive conservatism would neccessarily play very well here," Galdieri said.
While Perry may be taking a day off, his campaign isn't. They released an ad Monday morning attacking Mitt Romney for flip-flopping on numerous issues, ending with Romney's own debate slip, "There are plenty of reasons not to elect me."
Earlier in New Hampshire, Romney brushed it off.
"You're going to find in a campaign like this that people who are running against me are going to take what I've said and try to turn it and say something else," Romney said.
Romney cannot coast even there, where he is leading. That poll that shows him ahead but also shows his support isn't granite state solid. Only 10 percent of voters say they will definitely vote for him and just 14 percent says they are very satisfied with the field.
The debate Tuesday is supposed to center on business issues and the economy. If it does, and if he is prepared, Perry could have a big night; it is the one issue he wanted to campaign on.

Place the sweet potato in a container of water. Keep the top 1/3 of the potato exposed by placing toothpicks into the sides. The pointed end should be down in the water. In a few weeks a vine with several stems will begin to sprout.
- 1 Which end is the root end of a sweet potato?
- 2 What is the bottom of a sweet potato?
- 3 What part of the sweet potato do you plant?
- 4 How do you start sweet potatoes indoors?
- 5 How long does it take for sweet potatoes to root?
- 6 How do you grow Kumara in water?
- 7 How long does it take a sweet potato to sprout in water?
- 8 How do you get sweet potatoes to sprout?
- 9 How close do you plant sweet potatoes?
- 10 How do I know when to harvest my sweet potatoes?
Which end is the root end of a sweet potato?
Identify the rooting end Find the rooting end of the sweet potato, which is the narrower of the two ends. Look for any slender emerging roots.
The standard answer is that the blunt end of the sweet potato is the top and the end tapering to a point is the bottom.
What part of the sweet potato do you plant?
You want half of the sweet potato under water and the rest not. The part under water will grow roots and the part above water will grow sprouts (known as sweet potato slips).
How do you start sweet potatoes indoors?
Plant the sprouting sweet potato in a container of well-drained potting mix. Plant it with the growing point just below the soil surface or lay it on its side and cover with potting mix. Grow your new plant in a sunny window and water as needed. Sweet potatoes make a great indoor plant.
How long does it take for sweet potatoes to root?
As long as the soil is kept lightly moist, the slips will develop roots and start growing within two weeks. Six weeks after that, the sweet potato vines will explode with growth and cover the ground with dense foliage.
How do you grow Kumara in water?
Insert toothpicks into the sides of the kumara about 1/3 of the way down. Place the kumara into the jar. Fill the jar with water. Results:
- In about 10-15 days, the kumara will begin to bud.
- For the next 3 to 6 months, vines will grow from the kumara.
- You can train the vines to climb up or around whatever you choose.
How long does it take a sweet potato to sprout in water?
When sprouts are about 5-6 inches tall, remove sprouts from sweet potato by carefully twisting off or cutting off at soil level. Remove lower leaves from sprouts and let “root” in a jar of water. Roots will develop quickly; you should begin to see roots in 1-2 days.
How do you get sweet potatoes to sprout?
Once separated from the sweet potato, place sprout in a container with the bottom half of the stem submerged in water and the leaves hanging out over the rim of the container. Within a few days roots will emerge from the bottom of each new plant. The new slips are ready to plant when the roots are about an inch long.
How close do you plant sweet potatoes?
Plant slips 10–18” apart (wider spacing produces larger potatoes) in rows spaced 36–60” apart. The most common spacing is 12” apart in rows 36–42” apart. It is critical to thoroughly water the slips around the stems immediately after planting and until established. This can take a week or more.
How do I know when to harvest my sweet potatoes?
Sweet potatoes are usually ready to harvest just as the ends of the vines begin to turn yellow, or just before frost in the North. To avoid injuring tubers, find the primary crown of the plant you want to dig, and then use a digging fork to loosen an 18-inch wide circle around the plant.

One of the most popular cloud computing model used by a lot of consumers across the globe is the public cloud model. Contrary to the private cloud model, where the infrastructure and services are ran through and maintained on a private network that is only made accessible to the client of that particular network, a public cloud computing model relies on shared resources that can be accessed over a public network. This means that a public cloud can be accessed by multiple consumers all at once, using the same infrastructure that is shared among them.
Public cloud computing model can generally be broken down into two different models. One of the models, which is also what is most familiar to the regular consumers, is what is known as the Software as a Service model, which is often abbreviated as SaaS. The SaaS model of cloud computing includes cloud storage as well as online office applications, which are two of the most commonly used cloud services by the general public. Aside from Software as a Service, the public cloud computing models also include Platform as a Service, which is also known as PaaS. True to its name and as opposed to the Software as a Service model, PaaS includes web-hosting based on the cloud, as well as development environments. No matter what type of service you end up choosing, however, a public cloud computing model comes with many benefits, which include:
- Economic value. It is no surprise that the popularity of the public cloud can be attributed to the fact that is is one of the most cost-effective and economic option out there for anyone looking for a solid computing service and infrastructure. The elimination of the need to acquire and maintain your own servers and infrastructure in favor of using shared resources means that cost can be reduced significantly. Some public cloud computing services are even offered for free, albeit with limited capacity and features.
- The public cloud computing market is saturated by so many different choices and options for you to choose, each with their own different services and packages offered. This means that you can be incredibly flexible in your choices, choosing the services and model that suits your needs and requirements best and being able to modify them in the future shall the need arise without much hassle.
- Most computing models out there suffer from a lack of reliability. The failure of a component in a traditional computing model has the potential to bring down the entire system all at once, but this is less of a concern when it comes to a public cloud computing model that relies on multiple servers and networks all at once, meaning that even if one of its components is down or experiencing failure the services offered by the public cloud itself can be largely unaffected. This also makes a public cloud computing model less vulnerable to failures, as there is no single point of failure.

Grey kitchen islands are a stylish complement to any kitchen. It’ll be an ideal spot to sit, relax, or cook. It’s a stylish and functional addition to any kitchen.
Kitchens with white and gray have been popular for a long time because of the simple yet classy look they provide to your home. We love kitchens that give us the illusion of warmth because we feel like we’re inside a warm and cozy home, and that’s what a great kitchen island does for you.
Most kitchen islands are made of wood. You can select from a range of designs, finishes, and designs to match your kitchen, your design tastes, and even your budget. You don’t have to choose from the same old kitchen island ideas. There are so many different designs on the market.
Keep the selection of kitchen gadgets and appliances simple and functional. Avoid purchasing kitchen tools or items that are kitschy or trendy. While it is best to choose simple and neutral colors like white and gray, they are still acceptable.
White quartz countertops can be a great addition to your white kitchen with grey island. To know about white quartz countertops and how they can transform the look of the kitchen, read the article on Caesarstone.
Kitchen Ideas that are grey or white can be elegant or simply cool; however, they can be both contemporary as well as a piece of the farmhouse; they can be a part of elegant condo-style living.
Design ideas for white kitchen with grey island
Open-plan white kitchen with a longline grey island
You can go for a white kitchen with a grey island if you have a small space. The island can be placed either in the center of the kitchen or on the side.
Whichever type you choose, the kitchen island should be comfortable and functional. You can add some accessories to this island, such as a table, a refrigerator, or a microwave.
If your kitchen island sits in a shared space, such as the kitchen and dining area, it’s important to make the most of the space. You can do this by incorporating an extended worktop that takes up the whole width of the island, or by adding a continuous countertop or waterfall worktop that flows across the kitchen, so you can’t see the end of the island.
If your space is shared between the kitchen and dining area, consider extending the island across the entire width of the room and incorporating a continuous worktop or waterfall.
This will create a long, uninterrupted surface area that provides a clean, streamlined look. This creates a more open-plan feel and is a great way to zone a space.
Increase the size of an island to accommodate a dining table
A long island can become a magnet for clutter, so think about extending it into another kitchen area. This could be a dedicated dining space or a breakfast bar. If you’re planning on a dedicated breakfast space, create a shallow shelf along the back of the island.
This can be used to hold crockery and utensils while guests dine. Alternatively, extend the worktop into a dining space by installing a sideboard on the island.
Your island’s layout should be balanced
A kitchen island layout can be tricky to plan because of the many variables at play. While the most important thing is to ensure your space is well-lit, you can make the most of the space with the right balance of open and closed spaces.
Don’t get too hung up on the idea of a traditional kitchen island, as there are many kitchen styling options you can explore. The best place to do this is at the home of a designer, as they can work with the space you have to create a kitchen island design that suits your home and your needs.
Create a one-of-a-kind look for your modern white kitchen with grey island
Kitchen style is a matter of the heart. The kitchen is the heart of the home, which is reflected in the style of the kitchen. A modern white kitchen with grey island is the new trend. In white kitchens, the kitchen island is a focal point. A well-designed kitchen island brings the kitchen atmosphere to life.
Incorporate a breakfast bar
An open-plan white kitchen can do wonders for the home, but sometimes it can be a little on the busy side. A breakfast bar is a great way to make this space feel more relaxed and inviting while keeping the kitchen functional.
Breakfast bars are great for entertaining, as they’re small in size and can be easily kept tidy. It’s a good way to extend a breakfast bar to incorporate a breakfast nook or act as an entryway to the kitchen.
Seating for a Grey Kitchen Island
The gray kitchen island is the focal point of the kitchen. It is usually the largest and most visible island in the kitchen and the best place to have everything you use daily. It can be rectangular, square, or oval shaped and can be placed in the center of the kitchen or near the back.
Kitchen islands with seating space are very common, and we love how they integrate a small dining area with the kitchen. Most kitchen islands can be used as a dining area, but you can also find a kitchen island with seating space that’s also a bar countertop.
A kitchen island with seating space can be used for different purposes, like a breakfast nook, a work area for the kids, a cooking area for the adults, or a dining area for guests.
Benefits of Kitchen Island
If you want to make your kitchen more spacious, you need to make the most of your kitchen island. Kitchen islands are very useful for several reasons.
First, they give additional seating space. Second, you can use them as an additional work area. Third, they can be used as a workspace, or they can be used as a seating area.
Kitchen island with storage, and it’s a great space to get extra storage space. A kitchen island is also a very practical space. It’s a great place to do your cooking, as well as a great place to help with your cleaning chores. It’s also a good space to keep dishes, serving items, and other kitchen items.

For adventure athletes, it’s the new essential: a video of their exploits. On Wednesday, the prosecutor and investigators examining what caused the retired Formula One great’s crash in Meribel told of what they had learned so far from two minutes of images, which were not made public.
“He was skiing between three and six meters (10 and 20 feet) away from the regular ski trail,” Albertville prosecutor Patrick Quincy told a news conference at the Palace of Justice in the 1992 Winter Olympics host city.
“At one point, his skis struck the top of a rock slightly visible above the snow. He loses his balance and his body falls ahead of the rock. His head hits a rock located approximately 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) below. The first rock and the second one that he hit with his head are eight meters (26 feet) away from the border of the ski trail.”

Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, and Diffusion Alloys, a specialist diffusion coatings producer, have joined forces to scale-up production and enable the increasing demand for low carbon hydrogen used to reduce global carbon emissions.
By partnering, JM and Diffusion Alloys will share their areas of expertise and ensure a robust supply chain for the coated components deployed in JM’s low carbon (blue) hydrogen offering.
Diffusion Alloys has more than 60 years’ experience providing diffusion coating for hydrogen and other clean energy technologies. The coatings protect the equipment in aggressive operating conditions and prevent metal corrosion. It has embarked on a multi-year strategy to develop its capabilities and capacity globally to meet the supply chain scale up challenge.
Low carbon (blue) hydrogen is an important growth area for Johnson Matthey. JM’s LCH™ technology enables the production of hydrogen with up to 99% CO₂ capture. The technology has been chosen for several significant projects around the world including H2H Saltend with Linde and Equinor, a 600-megawatt low carbon hydrogen production plant in the Humber, UK; HyNet, a leading UK industrial decarbonisation project; and a large-scale low carbon hydrogen project in North America.
Diffusion Alloys Managing Director, Lisa Randall, welcomed the partnership praising Johnson Matthey with “foresight in its ambitions in low carbon hydrogen” and a partnership agreement “that will support the translation of the significant increase in demand for low carbon hydrogen into successful deployment.”
Dr Phil Ingram, Business Development Director for JM agreed, adding that, “Diffusion Alloys is the best in the world at what they do. Through this partnership we will combine efforts to meet increasing demand for low carbon hydrogen technologies. This is another important step along our journey to enabling a net zero future through world class technology.”
The deal includes the 600kt Acetic Acid plant and all associated third party activities on the site. Eastman and INEOS have also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to explore options for a long-term supply agreement for vinyl acetate monomer.
The Supervisory Board of Borealis has accepted the decision of Lucrèce Foufopoulos-De Ridder, EVP Polyolefins, Circular Economy Solutions and Innovation & Technology to step down from her executive position at Borealis, and the Board of Borouge Pte effective 31 December 2023 to pursue other career opportunities.
Sidel has launched a new 100% rPET bottle base, StarLiteR, aiming to help carbonated soft drink (CSD) packaging producers embrace material circularity. StarLiteR allows CDS producers to switch to rPET bottle production easily and efficiently, while significantly reducing the impact on product quality or packaging integrity.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
After reading The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, I was intrigued and persuaded to read Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Since Kesey is the central character in the first novel mentioned, I really wanted to see what this guy's writing was all about. And, since they were touring for that book, I wanted to see if this book lived up to its reputation.
Kesey was portrayed in The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test as that leading hippie who eventually cools it down a bit. He leads a group of hippies across the country to do drugs and promote his book. It was even reported that he was doing drugs as he wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This is apparent when you look at some of the crazy scenes in the book, like when Chief is having these intense made-up dreams.
It wasn't a terrible read, but I thought I might be more hooked on it than I was. I really like the idea of the insane asylum and how they are kept in their like prisoners almost. The idea that a non-insane person would come in there and spice it up a little, kind of remove everyone from their happy little routine existence, is a pretty radical idea. I like it.
Kesey creates the character of Randall McMurphy, an extraodinary character for classic fiction. I loved his character. He's a likable rebel who befriends these troubled men who are in this psych ward. He stirs things up and makes them feel alive again. All the meds, the repetition, the belittling, the loss of power--these men needed someone to rejuvenate them and make them feel like actual people again, not patients.
McMurphy should have went to jail but was deemed insane instead. This is a crazy idea too for the time since more people do this nowadays. Maybe it started to become more popular after this book was published. Anyway, McMurphy committed statutory rape even though he says she wanted it. I just loved his connection with the other characters. He has no prejudice; he just wants to have a good time.
I also really enjoyed Chief's character. He is considered to be deaf and dumb even though he is the narrator of the story. I like that Kesey had Chief be the main character, not McMurphy. Before I read this, I thought that Jack Nicholson's character from the movie would be the main character because he is the dominant image when you think of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Wrong. I like that the reader gets the perspective of others who view McMurphy. Chief is a great character to do that to since his thoughts are always to himself and he never communicates with anyone else.
McMurphy slowly wins over Chief so that he slowly talks to him and builds his confidence. It was so interesting that such a powerful man (tall and strong) could be held captive with no power the way he was in that asylum. McMurphy gives him the courage, like he does to many others, to break out of there and have a life. I like McMurphy's purpose in this way.
I was a little shocked and concerned about the ending though. It really built up to this very large last scene, which took forty minutes in the movie version. McMurphy brings two girls to the ward at night; he wakes all the patients who drink, party, and dance. In the morning when the place is trashed, the tyrannical Nurse Ratched is very angry and out to punish. Billy, a character who stutters, is found with a girl. They had slept together. Ratched insists she will tell his mother. Billy is so upset that he kills himself. Out of fury, McMurphy tries to strangle Ratched but is taken away. He is subdued and drugged for months, even given a lobotomy. He really has no brain activity going on whatsoever. Ratched's vocal chords never were the same again. Chief is so upset with McMurphy's state that he suffocates him with a pillow, throws a heavy object out the window, and escapes, just as he promised McMurphy.
The ending was troubling to me. I didn't see McMurphy as being caught by the system. I would have liked it if he beat the system and escaped. I didn't like that they got the best of him. It was good that Chief got away, but I was surprised he would even strangle him too. I know he was doing the best for him, but he loved him. Or maybe it's like Of Mice and Men--George killed Lenny because he loved him and did the best for him. Interesting connection.
I also think it's interesting to note other characters in the book. Nurse Ratched's character was very interesting to analyze. The woman is the power force. She is mean and wants the men to be miserable as well. She likes control and likes to take pleasure away from these men. Then the orderlies are all black. I know it was the 1960s, but even so, the way they were mentioned seems to be saying something.
Jack Nicholson plays a great McMurphy too. He's everything I pictured when I read the book. Kirk Douglas was originally cast, but that would've been no good. Nicholson is crazy like that. Christopher Lloyd even makes it in there. The film was put together pretty well, just like the book.
Overall, not a bad piece of work. Both the movie and the book were both enjoyable. They are definitely both worth checking out.
So, what do you think of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

I've read seven now, including her latest, Satan's Lullaby. It was a surprise to find Satan's Lullaby offered by NetGalley; previously, I've either purchased the ebooks or checked out library copies.
It goes without saying that I have enjoyed the series, so I was excited to get the latest one for free, but I do need to catch up on the ones I've missed.
Plot: Tyndale Priory is a double house (more information about this is included in my review of Wine of Violence). The Prioress Eleanor Wynethrop is informed that the Abbess Isabeau has sent her arrogant brother Father Etienne Davoir to inspect the priory "from its morals to its roofs." Eleanor knows there is a reason for this inspection to be carried out by someone as eminent as the Abbess' brother, but she is unable to discover what that reason may be. Then Father Davoir's favorite secretary is murdered....
If you enjoy historical mysteries, you may enjoy this series which gives a great deal of insight into the life of the religious during the tumultuous 13th century. Royal does an excellent job with characters and historical information.
Read in November. Blog post scheduled for Jan. 22, 2015.

One problem for President Donald Trump, The New York Times said a couple months ago, is that he is not enough like President Bill Clinton, who “faced impeachment with discipline.”
The other day, however, The Washington Post noted that Trump is belatedly “taking a page out of the Clinton playbook,” by trying to project that he is “relentlessly focused on doing the business of the American people.”
Hmm. … Here is a subject—what Clinton was like during impeachment—I know well, from reporting at the time and extensive reconstructions with key players afterward. It is an arcane specialty that I had assumed had long since been filed away in the basement, exhumed occasionally over drinks and remember-that-one-time stories with aging sources and colleagues.

Shipwrecks: America's Great Lakes
"For in their interflowing aggregate, those grand fresh-water seas of ours,--Erie, and Ontario, and Huron, and Superior, and Michigan,--possess an ocean-like expansiveness, with many of the ocean's noblest traits . . . they float alike the full-rigged merchant ship, the armed cruiser of the State, the steamer, and the beech canoe; they are swept by Borean and dismasting blasts as direful as any that lash the salted wave; they know what shipwrecks are, for out of sight of land, however inland, they have drowned full many a midnight ship with all its shrieking crew."

FRIDAY, Nov. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Enhanced surveillance of
acute hepatitis C infections in the United States offers more
timely and complete case reporting that provides greater benefits
to public health, a new study concludes.
Each year in the United States, HCV infection affects nearly 4
million people and causes about 12,000 deaths, and the U.S.
Institute of Medicine recently recommended a comprehensive
evaluation of the nation's hepatitis B and C surveillance
Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) compared 2008 data on acute hepatitis C (HCV)
collected from two sources: the National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (the CDC's nationwide system for disease
reporting) and the Emerging Infections Program (EIP), a CDC-funded
network of health departments in selected states that gathers
detailed information meant to improve public health responses to
emerging infectious diseases.
EIP sites reported 26 (22 percent ) more acute HCV cases than
the 94 cases reported by NNDSS. Information on race and major HCV
risk factors was absent from 22 percent and 60 percent of NNDSS
reports, respectively, compared with 8 percent and 25 percent of
EIP reports, respectively.
The average length of time between diagnosis and reporting of
acute HCV cases to the state health department was 30 days (range 0
to 298 days) in NNDSS, compared with 19 days (range 0 to 350 days)
in EIP sites, the study found.
"These findings underscore that enhanced surveillance for acute hepatitis C improves the completeness and timeliness of the data," the researchers wrote.
Between 2010 and 2019, the direct medical cost of chronic HCV
infection could exceed $10.7 billion, the cost of HCV-related
premature death could be $54.2 billion, and the cost of HCV-related
disability could be $21.3 billion, according to the study.
The study appears in the latest issue of
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the CDC.

Maybe this should be split off into a different thread.
Differential GPS involves comparing times of clocks on the ground and in satellites. Essentially, GPS devices at known locations on the Earth's surface are treated as satellites with orbital radii given by the their distances from an Earth-centered frame, and with orbital periods equal to a day. A differential receiver uses both real satellites and Earth-bound "satellites" to determine its position, so there are GR timing differences between two "satellites" due to their much different r coordinates.
But how does it determine positions from just time? I may seem stupid but I can't make the connection.

I recently began a vegetarian diet after seeing the documentary "Forks Over Knives" the day after getting some labs back that weren't so encouraging. It's been about two months now and after six I plan on having my labs done again. If there is a difference, I'll keep with it and possibly even move more towards vegan. My diet right now is close to vegan with the exception that I once in a rare while make a small exception (I recently had a cupcake made by a co-worker) and I use fish oil daily still (for acne) but am looking for substitutes for that (currently checking out raw cacao). From my reading I also found out that the D3 I sometimes take comes from lanolin.
It hasn't been that hard so far. I seldom ate meat at home since it was more difficult to prepare and clean up from. I actually have to cook less often than I used to. Lately, once or twice a week, I'll cook up a very large bowl of some concoction with sweet potato, potato, beans (or tofu), brown rice, tomato, garlic, squash, peppers, onion, avocado, and a few other things. I'll eat a bowl or two of that through the day with some fresh spinach added and have a couple of slices of sprouted bread with it. I snack on fruit and raw mixed nuts. I have to do more research on rounding out my diet, but I have been taking a B-complex and a low-dose daily multi-vitamin for now.
