Good morning everybody,
I have a problem for the last few days that I don't find another solution than to change my laptop.
I own a Macbook (white) since Mid-2008. It has been working very well with any kind of USB drive until a few days ago. It started to don't have enough energy to hold any hard drive (perfect with pendrives, printers, scanners, etc.). Drives were recognized but after a few seconds they where lost and turned off. After a lot of trials and resets now it seems that work fine with USB 2.0 drives but now USB 3.0 drives don't turn on.
I've been trying all them with a Macbook Air from Mid-2012 with native USB 3.0 and everything works perfect.
Could be because the battery? I have done all tests with the charger conected and full battery. The battery is the original (5 years old) but still holds power for 90-100 minutes of normal use (video only about 50 minutes).
I would like to hold this laptop until new Macbook Pro retina are announced if it's possible!!!
Thanks in advance.
Best regards from Spain.

Just a quick question for the sharpening gurus here.
I've just started to develop an interest in Jap knives, and freehand sharpening. I've read Chad Ward's book, and a lot of stuff online. I've bought a few knives, but I'm first practising on some old blunt ones: My housemate's old Victorinox chef's, and a very blunt Kasumi paring (my Mum does not know how to look after knives). Both stainless steel.
I'm using Naniwa superstones - 400, 1000 and 5000. Then stropping with chromium oxide.
I'm sure my technique is pretty poor, but I'm being slow and patient, and trying to minimise wobble. I aimed for 20 deg on the Victorinox and 12 deg on the Kasumi.
The issue? I don't seem to be raising a burr, and the knives are getting sharper, but really not super sharp. Why am I not raising a burr? Is it the metal? Do I need to start with a coarser stone? Not enough pressure? Or is it just from choosing the wrong angle to start with?
I'd appreciate any advice!

The Kmart store at Shopper’s World in Clifton Park will close later this year, according to Robert C. Miller, CEO of The Windsor Companies, which owns the complex.
The Kmart on Route 2 in Latham also will close, according to the Albany Business Review. A Kmart spokesman couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. It’s not clear how many jobs will be eliminated with the closings.
Miller said Windsor Development would “take a fresh look at this prime 13-acre portion of our property and to re-imagine its potential as a central part of the community’s future.”
Clifton Park has been developing zoning and planning guidelines that will bring its “town center” vision to life, Miller said. The effort involves mixing uses and creating more pedestrian-friendly areas.
Kmart, a unit of Sears Holding Corp., has been closing stores and consolidating its operations. Kmart still operates stores in East Greenbush, Rotterdam, Greenwich, Bennington, Great Barrington, and Queensbury. It most recently closed its store at Routes 5 and 155 in Colonie.

Why does the RTPI champion diversity?
Posted: 7th January 2016
Trudi Elliott, CBE
Royal Town Planning Institute
There’s been a lot of talk about diversity lately. Whether it is equal pay for women, transgender equality or race at work, diversity is being discussed and championed across society, from the highest levels of government, to the UK Parliament and in offices across the nation.
Why now? It is clear the ‘times they are a changin’. Research shows that our cities are increasingly diverse and it’s not just the centre of cities’ which have historically been diverse areas. Increasingly, ethnic minorities are moving out of inner city areas to smaller cities, towns and suburbs. Ethnic minorities accounted for 80% of population growth over the past decade, taking their share of the population from 9% in 2001 to 14% in 2011. This demographic change will continue through 2040, when there is projected to be a 40% minority population, to 2070 when Britain will be majority non-white.
Meanwhile lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people have never been more accepted or visible in the community. Marriage equality was legalised in England, Scotland and Wales in 2014 while the UK’s closest neighbour Ireland legalised it through popular vote in May this year. Transgender issues are being discussed in the mainstream like never before.
It’s great there has been so much progress but there is always more that can be done.
But what does this have to do with the RTPI? Like many organisations, the RTPI has had a long and ongoing commitment to equal opportunity and anti discrimination for its employees and those engaging with the organisation.
However, the RTPI is in a unique situation given the nature of the work its members undertake as planners. The RTPI considers diversity from a number of different perspectives:
- As an employer, like any other, not only supporting equal opportunity and ensuring anti discrimination but championing the diversity of its employees
- As the membership organisation of the planning profession and given the diversity of our cities, the profession should be representative of the communities they are shaping through planning and be aware of diversity throughout their work
- As a learned society with responsibility for maintaining professional standards and accrediting planning courses, ensuring that our spaces and places are inclusive for people of all backgrounds and cater to the needs of a diverse population
So what is the RTPI doing about diversity? The Institute has long been committed to equal opportunity and anti discrimination. Management and staff have fostered a workplace environment that is inclusive, caring and welcoming. The RTPI requires, through its Code of Conduct, that members in their role as professional planners do not discriminate on the grounds of race, sex, sexual orientation, creed, religion, disability or age and shall seek to eliminate such discrimination by others and to promote equality of opportunity
In The Planner I responded to one of our members who asked what we were doing as an Institute to support women in planning.
The Planner is but one avenue the RTPI is using to champion successful women in the built environment (think Alison Nimmo on the cover of the August edition) and through a number of senior women across the organisation, including myself, the President, Directors and staff, the Institute has advocated for and delivered gender equality and worked with the female presidents of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Royal institute of Chartered Surveyors to promote the message . We have also promoted the work of Women in Planning, a professional network of women working in planning.
Meanwhile, the RTPI’s new pathways into the profession will mean those that would not have otherwise chosen planning as a career, perhaps because they were unable to attend university or have had a break in their career, will be able to transition into planning.
The RTPI plays a role in forming policy and shaping debate so its significant that many of the Institute's policy and research publications already deal with the issues around diversity. A recent blog on inclusive planning discussed why planning for everyone, regardless of age, ability, gender or background is important. Similarily, the RTPI's Planning Horizon's series look at the impact of demographic change in the twenty-first century and how promoting healthy cities is required to make cities more inclusive.
On top of its long term thinking and policy work, the institute has also produced a toolkit for helping integrate gender issues into plan making, guidance to deliver satisfactory services to gypsy and traveller communities and planning for an ageing population whcih are practical resources for planners.
The institure celebrates planning excellence annually through its Awards for Planning Excellence and, again, diversity is already found across the finalists, like Shree Swaminarayan Mandir and Whitechapel Vision Masterplan.
It is not just the RTPI that is acting on diversity. The wider built environment sector is building networks, providing support and contribting to diversity initiatives such as the Freehold network for LGBT people in the real estate sector, Women in Planning, or the Construction Industry Council's Diversity Panel in which the RTPI has had a longstanding involvement. There are many more terific initiatives across the industry.
Championing diversity isn't just about 'doing the right thing'. We've known for a while that its also good for society and business. And, more importantly, its about the RTPI's role in influencing policy, disseminating practice and shaping our communities so that everyone feel included.

Several times a year, leading cancer researchers gather to present and discuss the latest advancements. Biotech companies seek to gain top billing at these prominent medical conferences to highlight their results. Company stock prices can react dramatically depending on the data and whether it lived up to expectations. These have become must-attend events for healthcare analysts and institutional investors seeking to gain an edge.
For everyday investors who don't have the luxury of attending, we have highlighted three companies presenting data this weekend at the European Society of Medical Oncology Congress in Barcelona.
1. Amgen's AMG 510 is a potential blockbuster in the making
Atop the list of clinical trial updates not to miss is the on-going Phase 1 results with AMG 510, a KRAS-inhibitor in development by Amgen (AMGN 0.01%). KRAS, once thought to be an undruggable cancer target, now has what appears to be a formidable foe, at least for a specific variant of the protein. AMG 510, which specifically targets that mutation of KRAS, debuted on the scene when data in lung cancer were presented in June. Amgen's stock responded by rising roughly 18% since then.
This Saturday will reveal the first glimpses of AMG 510's activity in two more types of cancer. David Reece, Amgen's executive vice president of research and development said, "We will report the first responses in advanced colorectal and appendiceal cancers at the upcoming congress." In the cancer field, responses refer to the degree of tumor shrinkage in each patient due to treatment. The keys to watch for are the number of patients responding and the frequency and severity of side effects. Positive data should continue to propel Amgen's stock.
2. A positive update from Immunomedics could lead to a repeat stock rise
Immunomedics (IMMU) will report updated data on its drug sacituzumab govitecan from an on-going Phase 2 clinical trial for patients with metastatic urothelial cancer. These are very sick patients whose cancer continues to grow despite receiving one or two prior treatments. In February 2019, Immunomedics presented interim data on 45 patients showing an overall response rate of 31% and a median duration of response of 12.6 months. The progression-free survival was 7.3 months.
These results fueled a 30% increase in the stock price over the following month. Today the stock is trading for about the same as it was prior to the February announcement. We may see a repeat if the updated news on Saturday is deemed impressive by investors.
3. Zymeworks has a novel approach to a well-known cancer target
Zymeworks (ZYME 0.91%) plans to present single-agent data on its lead drug candidate ZW25, a drug that targets two variants of the gene HER2. HER2 is a well-known driver of certain cancers and the target of several approved drugs including Herceptin, the $7 billion a year cash cow marketed by Roche (RHHBY -1.92%). On Saturday, investors will learn the latest on ZW25's safety and efficacy in patients with gastroesophageal, colorectal, biliary tract, gynecological and other cancers.
Zymeworks stock has steadily risen 25% this year. As it is smaller and earlier stage than either Amgen and Immunomedics, positive data could cause a more dramatic stock reaction in either direction. ZW25 pursues a well-defined cancer target. However, substantial benefits to patients will be required to take market share from entrenched therapies.
Stay tuned for stock-moving news in cancer
These are just a few of many updates that will be presented in Barcelona at the ESMO conference this weekend. While response rates correlating to tumor shrinkage are encouraging, stronger indicators include duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival time. The data from Amgen, Immunomedics, and Zymeworks are all still relatively early but don't tell that to investors who will be hanging on to every word about the clinical trials.

“I may eventually visit Gaza and the West Bank in April. This visit would take place in the context of a general effort to contribute to the resolution process [of the Palestinian issue],” Erdoğan told reporters, adopting the same expression that he coined for the ongoing talks between the government and the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Abdullah Öcalan.
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh had already announced March 22, hours after Israel’s apology, that Erdoğan would visit Gaza in the near future.
Erdoğan emphasized the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had used the word “apology” and not “regret” in the formal document, adding that the statement was issued in accordance with Turkey’s demands. He explained that after Netanyahu’s phone call, they had agreed that the first statement would come from Israel. “In the end the United States made it public, then Israel confirmed and we announced that we accepted the apology,” he said’ adding that Israel had shown willingness to issue an apology and compensation in the past but that Turkey had insisted on the abolishment of the Gaza blockade.
However, Erdoğan was cautious regarding the restoration of diplomatic ties by the appointment of ambassadors. “We will see what will be put into practice during the process. If they move forward in a promising way, we will make our contribution. Then, there would be an exchange of ambassadors,” he said, adding that the amount of the compensation would be determined by the competent bodies.
“We took a stand but we managed to resolve the process without being [overly] intractable” he concluded.
Turkey’s ties with Israel fell to a historic low after Israeli commandos raided in May 2010 the Gaza-bound aid flotilla, killing nine Turkish citizens.
Turkey expelled Israel’s ambassador in Ankara, saying that relations would not go back to normal unless Israeli government made an official apology, paid compensation to the relatives of the victims and removed blockade on Gaza.

Was a pleasure to shoot Jane from U Shine Resumes at her personal branding session creating images to refresh her website and social media content – plus there were puppy hugs!
A personal branding package is more than just traditional headshots. We can include your work area, how you work, lifestyle shots, detailed shots of your tools of the trade and pictures of your product(s). We can also plan for style elements like different shapes (ie. insta versus banners), leave space for text overlays and edit the portraits with a particular style or color palette in mind.
Here are some of my fav’s from the day:

domain: artistic


Materials: Fixa toolbox, 4-channel amplifier module, hardware, speakers, iPod
Description: For this iPod amp, I emptied a Fixa box of its contents, traced and cut the shape of the amp and power supply, and mounted the parts. Holes were drilled for the knobs, power button, RCA inputs, and speaker jacks installed on the back (all parts from Radio Shack).
A hole was cut in the top of the box for the cooling fan. at 100 watts per channel, this box rocks!

ARRA-Funded Genetic Analyzer Boosts NIAMS Sequencing Efficiency
It's roughly the size of a small copy machine, but in the minds of scientists in the Intramural Research Program (IRP) at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) in Bethesda, Md., it stands a lot taller.
The Institute recently acquired a genome analyzer, an instrument that examines genes and investigates the genetic makeup (genome) of different organisms. Purchased with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), it saves NIAMS researchers time and costs by performing large-scale DNA processing that results in billions of bases of high-quality gene sequences. The technology is also easy to use and minimizes handling errors and concerns about contamination.
With it, scientists can measure epigenetic changes: changes to the DNA machinery (called chromatin) that regulates gene expression. As a practical example, John O'Shea, M.D., IRP scientific director and chief of its Molecular Immunology and Inflammation Branch, and his colleagues recently discovered a new explanation for the flexibility of responses of one type of immune system cell (T lymphocytes) by using the new technology to survey the cells' epigenomes—the collection of epigenetic elements within the cells. Their work has generated the largest blueprint of its kind for studying the biology of these cells, and provides new clues about the epigenetic regulation of key immune genes—clues that could one day be used to treat diseases, particularly autoimmune and infectious diseases.
To Dr. O'Shea, the new instrument is a way to help explore an evolving view of the molecular mechanisms that govern the body's normal functions, as well as those involved in disease. The analyzer, he says, ".will help us better understand the genetic code, allowing us to identify disease markers and perhaps develop potential gene therapies to combat them."
The completion of the human genome a few years ago was the starting point of research that will benefit from the instrument's capabilities, says Dr. O'Shea. "The bottom line is that the analyzer allows us to put the information gleaned from the genome to work."

BLOOD PRESSURE CATEGORIES SYSTOLIC DIASTOLIC
Normal less than 120 less than 80
HIGH-CONSISTS OF 2 DIFFERENT STAGES:
stage 1. 140-159 90-99
stage 2. 160-higher 100-higher
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR:
ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
- what your numbers mean.
- what shuld your blood pressure mean.
- what you ortions are to control high b/p
- what type of b/p machine you should get for home
- how your excercising can effect your b/p.
- if you are a drinker, ask what limit should you daily intake be.
- if your a smoker, ask about that too.
About drug treatment:
- should you be taking medication, if yes which one and what make it better for you
than any other medication.
- sodium - is there any in medications.
- side effects you might experience and for how long,
- how long will you have to take medications.
- how can you remember to take your medications due to the fact that it is not part of
your daily routine and what if you forget and missed a dos.
- what foods and medications (prescribed and over the counter medications)
High blood pressure can occur in both children & young adults, but most commonly occurs wit people of age 35 and older. Particularly it is proven to be prevalent in African Americans, middle aged people, elderly people, when obese, heavy drinkers, women who take birth control pills. Heart disease
is more common in women than in men. It can be that it runs in your family who have a history of this. It can occur in people who have diabetes, gout, or kidney disease as well.
HOW TO MANAGE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:
Losing weight, lower or if you can stop the salt intake,t= taking your prescription medications, try to stay free from stress, hot tubs/saunas can raise blood pressure, if you are a drinker, hot tubs/saunas when you have consumed alcohol regardless of b/p problems or not. Also going from hot to cold to hot to cold etc. sodas have a high amount of sodium in it, decongestant meds increase blood pressure. Know the over the counter meds that you can take that wont cause b/p to rise because there are plenty out there to not take. Know your b/p and check it daily (a piece of advice: the wrist b/p cuffs and the finger b/p cuff are not accurate like a manual one or any cuff for your arm and make sure the cuff fits well if it doesn't you will get an inacurate reading.), know what your weight should be and try to keep it that or a little under, low salt and saturated fats diet, no sodas not even diet, It would also be a good idea to have your family checked regularly as well.
Often when treating high blood pressure requires alot of time and hard work on both you and your doctor, this is going to require a great deal of patience with both of you. As most medications because it is new to your body and it's normal routine it may be a while for any symptoms to go away. Be patient and do what the doctor recommends for you and you should be fine.
THE 5 MOST COMMON MEDICATION PEOPLE TAKE:
1. Antihypertensives - this is available to lower the high b/p.
2. Sympathetic nerve inhibitions - this works by going from the brain to all parts of the body including the arteries to constrict and raise blood pressure. This class drug also reduces high b/p by inhibiting these nerves from constricting blood vessels.
3. Diuretics - this medication rids the bod of all excess fluids and sodium (salt) and is usually used as initial therapyfor most people.
4. Beta-blockers - it reduces the heart rate
and controls the output of blood from your heart.
5. Vasodialators - used to cause the muscle in the walls of the blood vessels; espeacially the arterials to relax and allowing to relax and vessels to dialate, (widen) (open.)
ACE - medically speaking it would be angiotension - converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotension II receptor blockers and the calcium antagonist (calcium channel blocker
ACE inhibitors interfere with the bodys production of angiolensior (which is a chemical that causes arteries to constrict.)
Angiotension II receptor - blockers block the effects of anginotension.
Calcium antagonist - reduces the heart rate (pulse) and relax blood vessels.

The Hillsborough YMCA offers week-long specialty camps throughout the summer, introducing the children to a variety of subjects. One such camp called Future Vets, under the supervision of Laura Rodriguez, Associate Program Director, gave Dr. Martins, DVM and technician Mark Sopko the opportunity to present on July 10, 2019.
The presentation took place in two parts: In part one, Dr. Martins gave the children an overall summary of good pet care habits, how veterinarians treat pets, and answered questions. Part two of the presentation was by Mark Sopko, who gave tips on how to respect wildlife with some do’s and don’ts for children to remember.
Part One – Dr. Joe Martins, DVM on Pet Care
Dr. Martins began by explaining the importance of training cats and dogs. He went on to discuss the need to watch your pet’s behavior and take note of subtle changes in behavior that might signal illness.
Questions veterinarians will ask when a pet comes in for an exam include: How do you think your pet is doing? Is the pet eating normally? How many times a day do you feed him/her? Do you have fresh water out for them every day, and are they drinking?
Dr. Martins emphasized the importance of being aware of your pet’s behavior because they can’t speak in words like you and I – pets talk through their actions. If they are not feeling well, they will often display changes in behavior. Dr. Martins explained if your pet is normally happy, wagging its tail, and eating well, then all is probably fine. But if your pet is really lethargic, tired, staying away from you, not eating, having trouble eliminating, then what would you do? First, children should make their parents aware that their pet is acting a little different. Make everyone in the household aware in case he/she needs to go to the vet.
When a pet vomits, especially repeatedly, that can be another sign that something is wrong. Pets eat things in the yard, and could ingest toxic mushrooms, mold, or even plastic. BMAH saw a puppy who got under the bed and chewed on an old battery. The puppy came in drooling, but the vet discovered the problem and was able to help the puppy.
Dr. Martins emphasized the most important thing the children should remember is to watch their pet’s behavior. If there is a change, the pet should be seen by a veterinarian soon to be treated. The goal is try to prevent injury and illness, and treat an ill pet as soon as possible.
Veterinarians do many things to look after a pet. They examine the pet, prescribe medicine if needed, and perform surgery and dentistry. Pets often have to wear nice, soft cones after surgery to prevent them from licking or gnawing on their surgical wound so it can heal properly. One of the most important things a veterinarian can do is take care of your pet’s teeth in order to keeps their heart and kidneys healthy.
Veterinarians also test for parasites and administer mediation. They also recommend vaccines to protect pets against bacteria and viruses.
Dr. Martins introduced his son Henry with their dog Smiley. Smiley is a three year old Chihuahua/ Pomeranian/Schnauzer mix. They did a DNA test on him and analyzed his blood to find out his ancestry. Blood work also tells us whether or not a pet is healthy.
At the end of the pet care presentation, Dr. Martins took a few questions from the children regarding blood tests, why pets wear cones after a surgical procedure, and more about his own pet, Smiley. Dr. Martins gave out stickers to all the children to take home, and began the introduction to Part Two of the presentation about respecting wildlife.

An expansive green space flanked by an art museum, history museum, and zoo. A botanical garden featuring ornately sculpted landscaping, glass accents, and intoxicating flowers. A world-class symphony, smoky blues clubs, and concert halls that entice the eye as much as the ear. Think I’m speaking of New York, Chicago, or San Francisco? You’d be close, but not quite right. You can find these arts attractions (and many more) in St. Louis.
When you think of St. Louis, you probably imagine the ubiquitous Arch, sports teams such as the Cardinals and Rams, or the region’s famous toasted ravioli. But on a recent visit, I found the city’s thriving arts scene is worth a closer look. Rivaling the majors in excellence (and undercutting most on price), St. Louis may just be the best arts destination you never knew about.
“It’s a well-kept secret,” says Jill McGuire, executive director, Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis. When it comes to the arts, “We have a lot, and the things we have are extremely top quality.”
The city is also a top value destination. “St. Louis is definitely affordable,” says Kara Roca, a lifelong St. Louis resident. “We have many free events and hotels are affordable, [there’s] less traffic, and it’s easier to get around.”
St. Louis is known for the blues, with artists such as Ike Turner, Chuck Berry, and Henry Townsend having written and performed in the city. Today, visitors can catch live blues any night of the week, with choice venues including BB’s Jazz, Blues, and Soups and Hammerstones. And while not exclusive to blues, you may be able to see Chuck Berry, 80 years old and still going strong, at Blueberry Hill. St. Louis also hosts the free Big Muddy Blues Festival each Labor Day, which typically features multiple local bands on five stages.
The city is also a prime destination for theater. Jeff Archuleta, co-owner and innkeeper of Napoleon’s Retreat Bed & Breakfast Inn, says, “We get a lot of live theater at any one time. I’m surprised at how many touring shows come here and don’t go to nearby cities like Memphis [or] Kansas City.” Venues worth a visit include the Fox Theatre, St. Louis Black Repertory Theater, and the Repertory Theater of St. Louis.
McGuire recommends the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for music lovers. “We have a really amazing young conductor, David Robertson, and the selection of music is amazing. He has been wooed and courted by every city, including Chicago, and we got him. We are so excited.”
On my recent visit, I toured the acoustically perfect Sheldon Concert Hall. Concerts typically cover rock, folk, and blues. The venue also holds an art gallery you can tour for free before or after a performance.
I found the Missouri Botanical Gardens serene and contemplative. I especially enjoyed the Dale Chihuly exhibit, running through October 31, in which the famous artist has incorporated his glass sculptures throughout the extensive gardens. Other must-sees: the Victorian Area, which features a traditional Victorian garden and a labyrinth; and the 14-acre Japanese Garden, the largest of its kind in the Western hemisphere. Its quiet setting includes a lake, waterfalls, and walking bridge. Roca also recommends the garden’s free outdoor concerts in spring and summer.
St. Louis blends attractive outdoor spaces with cultural centers at Forest Park. “Most people don’t know it’s bigger than Central Park,” says McGuire. Chief among its cultural institutions is the St. Louis Art Museum, which is always free. Be sure to stop by the Decorative Arts and Design collection, where I saw knights’ shining armor and swords, a wide collection of Tiffany glass, and rooms decorated in a variety of period styles. The museum also holds free concerts on the lawn in the summer.
Both Roca and McGuire cite the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis as a top arts attraction. “The Contemporary is particularly interesting for young people,” says McGuire. “Thursday nights [have] dollar beers, music—it’s a really cool place to be.” Upcoming exhibits include a Jim Hodges/Andy Warhol retrospective and digital video works by New York artist Slater Bradley.
As one who enjoys touring churches (particularly the great cathedrals of Europe), I was enthralled by the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. Designed with both Romanesque and Byzantine influences, the Cathedral holds the largest mosaic collection in the world. Mosaics are used to depict traditional histories and individuals within the faith, but also the story of the Catholicism in America and the city itself. It is quite unique to see this medium used to tell a decidedly American story.
Romanesque influences continue at St. Louis Union Station. Its Grand Hall features a stunning stained-glass window (with hand-cut Tiffany glass) over its main entryway, gold detailing throughout the cavernous expanse, and eye-catching archways. You may be tempted to exit the grand hall for shopping and dining, but I found it worthwhile just to sit and relax, away from the station’s commercial attractions.
And finally, there’s the famous Arch. No trip to St. Louis is complete without a ride to the top. However, claustrophobic travelers beware: The ride, 630 feet up, is via a small pod, or tram. Even alone, it feels like a tight squeeze (five is the limit per pod). Once at the top, though, you can see sweeping views of the city and the Mississippi River. The Arch is also stunning from the vantage point of its base, and the public park grounds surrounding the monument offer a nice setting to while away an afternoon.
Regardless of what types of art you enjoy, St. Louis has an eclectic mix to satisfy a wide variety of weekenders. “[We’re] an extremely friendly town,” says McGuire. “[Visitors] can come to St. Louis and it’s more moderately priced than other cities of the same size. And it’s manageable—it’s easy to go to the symphony and major theaters without a hassle. It’s a place to come and relax. It’s a visual feast for the eyes, doesn’t cost a lot, and is fun.”

Even if you are not a Kardashian fan, I think we can all agree that this is just MEAN!
Recently it was brought to our attention that if you type the word “lardass” into your iphone, it will auto correct it to “Kardashian“…( I know you want to laugh, but let’s be nice people…it’s the holidays!)
Dictionary.com defines lardass as a slang term translating to “a person having unusually large buttocks.” Alright so maybe it’s a little accurate, but that word just sounds so awful!
According to US Weekly it’s not a new issue, and people have known about it since 2013.
Go ahead an try it on your phone!

NCIS actor Sean Murray was major child star in beloved film – details
Sean Murray is a NCIS veteran, having starred in the hit show since 2003 – but did you know that he once had a major role in the beloved horror classic Hocus Pocus? While the actor plays the affable Timothy McGee in the hit navy procedural show, he found early success in 1993 in the iconic role of Thackery Binx.
In the movie, Thackery Binx is a teenager who attempts to save his younger sister from three witches, Winifred, Sarah and Mary. He is unable to rescue her and is captured himself, with the witches cursing him to live forever as a cat.
Thackery is then a cat who helps the main characters to stop the witches, who in turn reverse the spell on Thackery, freeing his soul and allowing him to reunite with his sister Emily.
Sean, who was 14 at the time of filming, previously opened up about his time on the show, telling E! News: “It’s popular. I have kids come to me and their parents grew up on it and now their kids grow up on it. It’s like a cult favourite… If they wanted me to be involved with it in some sort of way, I would probably say yes.”
Did you know that this was Sean?!
In a 2016 interview about the film, he added: “I was 14 when I made that, and I will get kids that are 11 or 12 years old and say “Hey! You are the Binx from Hocus Pocus.”
Sean is now a dad, and his daughter, Cay Ryan Murray, actually made an appearance on NCIS as one of a group of teenage partygoers being investigated for a string of break-ins. “I am pleased to introduce my daughter, Cay Ryan Murray, into the on-screen world of NCIS! Cay guest stars in our upcoming May 2 episode and I couldn’t be more proud =),” he captioned his photo of the pair.

As you take a step down memory lane, specifically recalling your favorite childhood pastimes, I'm sure you, like myself, can remember the pure and simple emotions you felt while occupying yourself and your time with those activities.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s looted lectern returned to US Capitol
Ex-mayoral candidate who bragged about breaking into Pelosi’s office busted
Rep. Jordan says House Dems want to ‘cancel’ Trump at impeachment hearings
Nancy Pelosi names nine Trump impeachment managers
Nancy Pelosi has an impeachment dress.
When lawmakers gathered to impeach President Trump for a second time Wednesday, the House Speaker donned the same black dress she wore the first time it happened.
The sleek black business frock, which some likened to funeral garb, immediately caught the eye of Twitter denizens who realized the look matched Pelosi’s Dec. 2019 impeachment outfit.
“I KNOW this shouldn’t be the focus but Nancy Pelosi in the same dress for both impeachments is the exact kind of trolling our grandmothers taught us and the exact kind of business I am here for,” Jen Curran quipped.
“the fact that nancy pelosi wore the same dress to both of trump’s impeachment hearings is so iconic,” Isabell Austin tweeted.
Not only did the dress match, Pelosi opted for the same gold necklace she paired the look with in 2019. It’s not clear if the shoes also matched.

This week, anxieties were raised further after the American military dropped ‘the mother of all bombs’ on a target in Afghanistan which is believed to have been an ISIS pathway. Now it appears as though there may be further caused for alarm as the US National Nuclear Security Administration has announced the successful field test of the upgraded gravity nuclear bomb in a test site in Nevada. President Trump has given the green light to the US military to go ahead with an ambitious and incredibly expensive modernisation program related to the nuclear triad. According to Brian Becker, the director of the anti-war ANSWER coalition, President Trump has given a ‘black check’ to his generals, and they are currently in the midst of planning to test all of the weapons that they were previously blocked from working with.
It is said that the B61-12 is a key part of this program and the end intention will be to replace all of the current B61 models with this modernized variant. Currently, the B61 model is a key part of America’s nuclear triad. The NNSA in conjunction with the US Air Force completed the first qualification flight test of this extraordinarily dangerous nuclear weapon at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, insiders have confirmed. According to a spokesperson, the test was conducted to evaluate the non-nuclear functions of the weapon and the capability of an F-16 fighter to successfully carry and deploy the monster bomb.
Reports suggest that the test was successful. “The successful test provides critical qualification data to validate that the baseline design meets military requirements, ” said Brigadier General Michael Lutton of the NNSA. The revamping of America’s nuclear weapons program has raised alarm bells with some critics of the current president who has previously suggested that he would have no qualms about using the destructive weapons in a military conflict.
However, others have suggested that the modernisation program should not cause concern as it is merely a routine operation that was begun under President Barrack Obama.


Xiaomi created a new Android One device that offers much cleaner software than you might expect.
Out with MIUI, in with stock Android. The Mi A2 joins a Google-led initiative that makes Android easy to navigate for users and centralized for makers. Rather than waiting on Xiaomi for software updates, everything about the Mi A2’s software is overseen by Google.
The Mi A2 doesn’t have cutting-edge specifications, but it seems to nail the essentials. Xiaomi threw in a 6-inch Full HD+ LCD display with 18:9 aspect ratio, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660, 20MP and 12MP rear cameras, a 20MP front camera with flash, a 3010mAh battery, a USB-C port, and a fingerprint scanner. Android 8.1 Oreo, of course, is at the core.
If you need a little more horsepower, Xiaomi has multiple configurations. The base model includes 4GB of memory and 32GB of storage. Xiaomi will give you more memory or storage depending on what you need most.
Alongside this phone, Xiaomi is also introducing the Mi A2 Lite. It also runs stock Android but the exterior and internal specifications are slightly different than its mid-range sibling. You’re still getting a decent product, but Xiaomi cut corners in some areas while throwing in a next-generation feature that the Mi A2 doesn’t even have.
Both phones look very similar from behind, but up front the Mi A2 Lite ships with a notch at the top of its 5.84-inch Full HD+ display. Maybe this is to add personality to a phone that might otherwise get little buzz.
It also swaps out some components to get the price down. The Mi A2 Lite includes a Snapdragon 625, 3GB or 4GB of memory, 32GB or 64GB of storage, 12MP and 5MP rear cameras, a 5MP front camera, a 4000mAh battery, and a micro-USB port. So it doesn’t seem that Xiaomi watered-down the Mi A2 Lite very much.
Like the Mi A2, the Mi A2 Lite has software updates coming in from the Mountain View-based company itself.
This month, the Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite go on sale. Xiaomi will then bring both to other markets. While the Mi A2 will start at $290, the Mi A2 Lite is just $209 for the base model. The more memory/storage needed, the more money you pay. In all, Xiaomi will have these phones available in around 40 countries across the world.

Young girls who receive the vaccine Gardasil for human papillomavirus are no more prone to become pregnant or infected by sexually transmitted diseases than girls who do not receive the vaccine, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.
“We present the first evaluation of sexual activity-related outcomes after adolescent HPV vaccination in the recommended age range of 11–12 years to use clinical outcomes and show that receipt of HPV vaccine is not associated with an increased rate of sexual activity-related outcomes,” says the study “Sexual Activity-Related Outcomes After Human Papillomavirus Vaccination of 11 to 12-Year-Olds” (http://tinyurl.com/Pediatrics-study).
Researchers followed 1,398 girls ages 11–12 who were Kaiser Permanente members in Georgia in 2006 and 2007. The group was divided, with 493 getting at least one dose of Gardasil during the time they were tracked and 905 not getting the vaccine.
“This study provides a clinical validation and extends our understanding of numerous surveys reporting that most young women did not plan to modify their sexual behaviors after HPV vaccination.... If HPV vaccination [were] ‘a license for sex,’ we would [have seen] more adverse outcomes shortly after vaccination, when the girls were more aware of their vaccination status.”
As Managed Care reported in September, only about 35 percent of girls get the full three doses of the vaccine for HPV, pointing to a troubling public health dilemma (http://tinyurl.com/Gardasil-test).
“The HPV vaccine is an achievement we should celebrate,” Gregory D. Zimet, PhD, an HPV researcher and professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, told us. “There should be parades. To have a vaccine that can actually prevent substantial numbers of cancers is an amazing achievement.”
Robert Davis, MD, MPH, a senior investigator at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research – Southeast and a co-author of the Pediatrics study, says that it “adds to the growing evidence that the HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent these rare but sometimes deadly cancers.”

Protecting and serving like no other, K9 police dogs both enhance police searches and help keep officers safe on the job. Get the scoop from our interview with Bay Area K9 officers.
Cute, courageous, K9 cops – we don’t call them The Fuzz for nothing. From airport sniff patrol to tracking the bad guys, these crime-fighting pups collar the toughest criminals. To find out more about Bay Area police dogs, the Woof Reporters sat down with South San Francisco station officers Marty Mahon and Chris Devan and their police dog partners, Dugan and Olympia.
Here are the facts, just the facts…
Protect & Serve
Police dogs can sniff out almost anything. Their amazingly heightened sense of smell is essential for tracking and searching in response to burglar alarms, prowler calls, crimes in progress and building and open area searches. And they can respond to a sound from 140 yards away compared to just 40 yards for human officers.
Pups in Training
To join the ranks of America’s finest, a pup must first complete a 6-month, 160-hour basic training course with his handler. A new K9 team goes to work after graduating with basic training, narcotics training, and state certification. The K9s are re-certified each year and must attend two 6-hour training sessions with their handler and trainer each week!
Working with a Partner
K9 handlers are chosen from the patrol officer ranks by the Command staff. When there’s an opening, interested officers apply and interview with a panel. Leadership, work ethic, independence, previous evaluations and the officer’s home situation are all considered. The officers live and care for the police dogs at home and may purchase their dogs upon retirement.
It’s a Dog’s Life
The South San Francisco station has five K9s among its 80 officers. All dogs in the department but one are Belgian Malinois, which are similar in looks to German Shepherds, but more agile and with fewer health problems. The K9s work with their K9 handlers at all times – 10-hour shifts, 4 to 5 days each week.
Caring for K9 Officers
The city covers all the police dogs’ care and costs, which range from $15,000 to $20,000 a dog for training, vet care, food, and supplies. The dogs are purchased from specialty breeders with absolutely no training, only the right genetics for the job.
A Job on the Force
Police dogs save time and reduce the number of officers needed for a search or to contain an area. They also deliver a more thorough search and help keep officers safe during the apprehension of dangerous criminals. Police dogs must be aggressive when necessary, yet gentle around the general public. Seeing this contrast is truly impressive – as is seeing the bond these courageous dogs share with their handler partners.
One local business is working hard to help keep the Bay Area’s brave K9 officers safer. DoodyCalls pooper-scooper service in San Mateo is raising funds to purchase bulletproof police dog vests at cost for approximately $500 each and then donating them to local police departments. The custom-fitted vests can cost from $750 up to $2000 for police departments, which prevents most police agencies from purchasing them for their dogs. So far, they’ve raised enough for 18 vests over the past year and welcome your support to lend a paw to the hard-working pups on the force.

December 17, 2013 The former NSA contractor lives in Russia where he has temporary asylum until mid-2014. In an open letter to the people of Brazil, he says permanent political asylum would give him the ability to talk more freely. The Brazilian newspaper that published the letter says Snowden wants asylum in Brazil.
