Pink Snails arrive for Mayor’s Election Campaign
January 16, 2011 Leave a comment
Certainly, this must be an attraction ordered up by the mayor and the city to entertain us during a most exciting election campaign. Perhaps the snails will be seen going from door to door asking for your votes. You will see your favorite candidates kissing a snail. The green commission of Coral Gables will laud the recycling of plastic into an even less useful purpose.
Clearly, this is a part of the mayor’s election campaign for reelection and his campaign platform–to
“Focus on the development and promotion of cultural assets...”
Yes indeed, these snails are a great representation of government and politics in Coral Gables.
The snails — 11-feet long and painted in a hue of hot pink — will be installed throughout the Gables. Among their habitats: two in Merrick Park near City Hall, four near the youth center and library and two in Ponce Circle Park. They will be therefor two months.

Enemies of the Jewish People – David Duke
Four months later, Duke was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and he served the time in Big Spring, Texas. He was also fined US$10,000, ordered to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service, and to pay money still owed for his 1998 taxes. Following his release in May 2004, he stated that his decision to take the plea bargain was motivated by the bias that he perceived in the United States federal court system and not his guilt. He said he felt the charges were contrived to derail his political career and discredit him to his followers, and that he took the safe route by pleading guilty and receiving a mitigated sentence, rather than pleading not guilty and potentially receiving the full sentence.
Duke pled guilty to what prosecutors described as a six-year scheme to dupe thousands of his followers by asking for donations. Through postal mail, Duke later appealed to his supporters that he was about to lose his house and his life savings. Prosecutors claimed that Duke raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in this campaign. Prosecutors also claimed he sold his home at a hefty profit, had multiple investment accounts, and spent much of his money gambling at casinos.
The entire file of court documents related to this case can be found at The Smoking Gun website, including details on the December 12, 2002 guilty plea to federal charges that he filed a false tax return and committed mail fraud.
Don Black claims that Duke was targeted in this way by the government to discredit him.

Not much luck on the DVD front, but I racked up with reading material to fuel my pin and inky brains! Sure, it's all 2 years old, but there is no telling what I might find that's new to me! The best part is that all these only cost $1.50. Not bad when the "threads" magazine alone originally retailed at $6.99.

Silicon Valley kicks off fight on net neutrality
The tech industry is drawing a line in the sand on net neutrality.
The Internet Association, a trade group representing companies like Facebook (, Tech30), Google ( , Tech30) and Amazon ( , Tech30), stressed the importance of defending current net neutrality rules in a meeting with Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday.
“The internet industry is uniform in its belief that net neutrality preserves the consumer experience, competition and innovation online,” the group said in the meeting, according to a filing with the FCC. “Existing net neutrality rules should be enforced and kept in tact.”
The net neutrality rules, approved by the FCC in 2015, are intended to keep the Internet open and fair. The rules prevent Internet providers from playing favorites by deliberately speeding up or slowing down traffic from specific websites and apps.
This is the first face-to-face encounter between the tech association and the new FCC head. It comes on the heels of reports Pai met with the telecom industry to discuss changing how the rules are enforced, potentially weakening them.
Pai called the net neutrality rules a “mistake” in February and has begun chipping away at them. But the tech industry had mostly stayed quiet as it engaged in other pressing political battles with the Trump administration.
“Immigration, trade, the international economic order, cybersecurity, privacy, and lots more are in play. So we do need to prioritize somewhat,” Ed Black, president and CEO of the Computer and Communications Industry Association, another tech trade group, previously told CNNTech.
That’s beginning to change.
Fight for the Future, a digital rights group that helped organize protests for net neutrality before its approval, is now trying to help net neutrality supporters secure meetings with their local representatives in Congress.
“The FCC just held a closed door meeting with lobbyists from the Big Cable, and now they’re moving fast to slash net neutrality and open the flood gates for fast lanes and slow lanes, throttling, and censorship,” the group wrote in its call to action.
Even before the latest FCC rumor, some net neutrality advocates were on edge thanks to the Republican-led Congress voting to repeal Internet privacy protections.
“Net neutrality is on the chopping block,” Democratic Senator Edward Markey said shortly before the privacy vote. “And this is their first step to ensure the few and the powerful control the Internet.”

Slate in planted tank.
Im starting my adventures in planted tanks with a moderatly lit 10 gallon. I am going to have a short carpet plant in the middle (not sure what yet, but ive got time to hatch that out). Anyway, in the middle of my tank, i am hoping to use slate to make a recreation of stonehenge. Yes, it sounds kinda corny, but i think that it would look really cool. My main question is, would the slate have any adverse effects in a planted tank?


The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip sports a new foldable glass screen and improved hinge (Updated)
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip sports a new foldable glass screen and improved hinge
Note: This article was first published on 12th February 2020 and updated on the next day with more details.
At its Unpacked Event in San Francisco today, Samsung has unveiled its latest foldable phone - the Galaxy Z Flip smartphone. Looks wise it’s a big departure from last year’s Galaxy Fold, with the clam-shell design housing a 6.7-inch OLED display that folds into a much smaller square when it’s closed.
The backbone of this OLED display is the new Infinity Flex Display, which is Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) and according to the company, will last for 200,000 folds. On the Galaxy Z Flip, there’s no notch or cut out and the display’s resolution comes in at 2,636 x 1,080 pixels at 425ppi. On the inside, the phone is powered by a 64-bit octa-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. To be exact, this compact phone is using a Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, which puts it on almost level playing field with an ASUS ROG Phone II that's a gaming beast!
The Galaxy Z Flip has a three-stop hinge that allows you to use two halves of the screen when it’s propped up – just like you could with a notebook. The dual CAM mechanism let you hold the phone opened at a range of angles, with the idea that you can sit it on a flat surface (such as a tabletop) and then take a selfie using Gesture Control. Here's a very brief look at it in hand:-
Samsung’s struggle with the hinges on the Galaxy Fold has been well documented, and the company has made a new hinge design for the Galaxy Z Flip. To prevent dust from getting inside, the phone’s hinge has special fibers to keep it and other particles or debris out. We’ll soon find out how true this is in our upcoming test of the Galaxy Z Flip, so stay tuned.
The Galaxy Z Flip will be available in the US and Korea on 14th February in purple and black variants and priced at US$1,380. A Thom Browne Edition will also be available, which really looks stunning.

I have to admit it. I'm mostly a single page scrapper. In the past few months, though, I've created four double page layouts! I decided I would convert these layouts into templates so that if any of you are working on photo albums, you'll have a handy tool in your stash for helping you create them quickly. What's cool is that you can mix and match these so you have different combinations of double page templates or you can just use them as single layouts as well!

The Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) presented in Brussels provides loans to invest in housing, businesses and trains.
The Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) presented by the Portuguese government this Thursday in Brussels foresees the use of loans worth 4.3 billion euros from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (MRR) to invest in three areas: social housing, capitalization of companies and the development bank and the purchase of trains.
“The Portuguese government decided to maximize the use of European funds as a grant and to minimize the use of loans that may lead to an increase in public debt,” says the government in the PRR document to which ECO had access.
“Nevertheless, it lists three investments that deserve a careful evaluation of their eligibility, and under what conditions, for the MRR’s loan component,” the document adds, pointing to three areas where the investments still require clarification regarding the loans.
In total, MRR’s loans could amount to 4,295 million euros, with 2,745 million to be directed to the public affordable housing. Another 1,250 million are expected to capitalize on companies and strengthen the financial capacity of the development bank. The state also foresees 300 million in loans to finance the acquisition of long-distance railway rolling stock.
The European recovery plan envisages providing Portugal with 15.3 billion euros in grants and 15.7 billion in loans. However, António Costa stated more than once that the government’s priority will be to maximize the use of subsidies, minimizing the use of loans, due to the country’s high level of public debt.

Bolton will once again assess Andrew Taylor, Filipe Morais and Adam Le Fondre prior to Norwich's visit to the Macron Stadium.
None of the trio played in Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Sunderland, with Taylor struggling because of a back issue, Morais carrying a stomach problem and Le Fondre, an unused substitute in the north east, troubled by a calf injury.
West Ham loanee Reece Burke will also be given the once over due to the hip issue that has forced him to miss Wanderers' last two contests.
Winger Will Buckley has not played since mid-September because of a calf complaint but he is considered fit again having made the bench in midweek.
Norwich forward Nelson Oliveira remains doubtful because of a calf problem which saw him miss the midweek home defeat by Wolves.
Defender Christoph Zimmermann could be back in contention to start following illness having come off the bench on Tuesday night, when Dutch winger Yanic Wildschut was absent for personal reasons.
Midfielder Alex Pritchard is set to step up his recovery from ankle surgery following the international break, along with Scotland forward Steven Naismith, who has been sidelined by his own ankle problem.
Defender Jamal Lewis (knee), winger Matt Jarvis (ankle) and midfielder Louis Thompson (Achilles) all continue their rehabilitation.

Philippine investment group bids £32.5m for luxury car dealer HR Owen
Luxury car dealer HR Owen has received a bid for the firm worth £32.5million, as first predicted by the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
The 130p-offer comes from Philippine investment group Berjaya Philippines which has been building a stake in the business over a number of weeks.
Last month Berjaya Philippines bought a 29.8 per cent stake in the firm worth £8.3million.
HR Owen sells high-end cars such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. It has 11 showrooms in London, and has a growing used-car arm, which sells Minis and Audis.
Exclusive: The story by the Daily Mail's Market Report
Berjaya Philippines said it had not sought ‘a formal recommendation’ from the HR Owen board.
The board, led by chairman Jon Walden and chief executive Joe Doyle, were locked in meetings last night deciding whether to recommend shareholders to accept or reject the bid. It was still to reach a decision at the time of going to press.
Doyle joined the firm last year, and has introduced new IT marketing systems that have helped target new customers which have boosted sales.
Earlier this week HR Owen released a half-year trading update which said strong sales meant it expected its full-year results to be ‘ahead of management expectations’.
The car dealership said its used car sales ‘throughout the period has been very promising with volumes up by almost a quarter on the prior year on improved margins’.
It added that new car sales had ‘accelerated ahead of expectation,’ with Rolls-Royces and Bentleys as the star performers.
Shares in HR Owen, which have doubled in value this year, closed up 9.5p at 130.5p.
This is above the 130p bid price tabled by Berjaya Philippines, which means that investors think a higher offer might appear, sparking a bidding war.
The firm has a long history in the luxury car market, opening its first showroom in Mayfair in 1932.

The University of Georgia says Rutherford Hall, a 72-year-old dormitory on the University of Georgia's South Campus, will be razed and rebuilt as a 260-resident hall.
Historic preservation groups had urged the university to renovate the building. The university said Tuesday the replacement project will be done with attention paid to retaining the historic character of the original structure.
The demolition will begin after the 2012 spring semester, with the new residence hall ready for occupancy in the fall of 2013.
University President Michael Adams issued a statement saying that replacing Rutherford Hall is the best option for providing safe and functional housing on campus.
University officials say Rutherford Hall's utilities are worn out and upgrading the structure is costly and impractical.


Twice now I have lost games on time before the clock reached zero: once when it showed 4 seconds and again when it showed 10 seconds. I’m not asking for these games to be annulled, I just want to know if this is a known synchronization issue and if there’s a way to fix it.
I’m using Firefox 58.0.1 on Windows 7.
“Simple” time control, it always had bugs.
better use byo-yomi
I lost two games today due to clock glitches. The first game was supposed to be 1m/move but I got 10second countdowns per move instead. My opponent left just as I typed a comment about this but looking over their moves it looks like it was the same for them.
The second game was supposed to be 30s/move but the clock stayed with the blue numbers that you get when OGS is waiting for the first move and then it stayed with this clock. I ended up timing out - apparently it was sticking with the 30s/move but not showing the right clocks.

Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, a former Minister of Trade and Industry has stated that he will contest the upcoming 2024 presidential elections as an independent candidate.
Mr. Kyeremanten, popularly known as "Alan Cash" made this public during his Monday afternoon's press conference in Accra, September 25, 2023.
"I believe I have served my country well and intend to continue to do so. On the 5th of January, 2023, I resigned honourably from my position as Cabinet Minister and declared my intention in a national broadcast to contest the Presidential primaries of NPP.
"On the 26th of August this year, I participated in the Super Delegates Conference to shortlist the ten aspirants who had filed their nominations to contest in the primaries. I was selected as one of the five Candidates to contest for the main Presidential primaries scheduled for 4th November 2023.
"After carefully analysing the results of the Super Delegates Conference, I issued a Press Statement on the 6th of September 2023, declaring my intention to exit the process leading to the Presidential primaries. In the run up to the Super Delegates Conference, the National Council of the Party made some of the most controversial and contentious decisions in the history of the Party. They rejected a petition signed by nine out of the ten aspirants, requesting for the Super Delegates Conference to be held in one location, as well as allowing each Delegate to the Conference to nominate five persons, instead of one, in line with the provisions in the Party’s Constitution.
"In my humble and considered opinion, the decisions of the National Council were both unmeritorious and unconstitutional.
"To make matters worse, it was absolutely clear as indicated in my Press Statement of September 6th this year that, the Super Delegates Conference was strategically and tactically skewed in favour of one particular aspirant. The level of intimidation and monetization that characterized the Conference is unprecedented in the history of internal elections of our Party. The subsequent decisions made by the National Council to vary the rules of procedure for the run-off, arising from the Super Delegates Conference, in direct contravention of both the Constitution of the Party and the Guidelines issued by the Presidential Elections Committee, will go down in history as a travesty of justice, and a demonstration of high handedness by the highest decision-making body of the Party, second only to the Annual Delegates Conference.
"Under the circumstances and given the context provided, I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably resigning with immediate effect from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections, as an Independent Presidential Candidate," Mr Kyeremanten declared.
In addition, he explained, "To actualise this goal, I will establish and lead a new MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE in Ghana. The brand logo for the MOVEMENT is the Monarch Butterfly, which politically symbolizes change and transformation, hope, and positivity. It also communicates strength, endurance, spirituality, and trust, which are key traits that I cherish as a Political Leader. In Akan, it is known as Afrafranto. The brand motto of the MOVEMENT is “Ghana Will Rise Again,” which symbolizes hope for the future of Ghana.
According to him, the new Movement will be led and powered by the youth of Ghana. Out of the over 17 million registered voters in the 2020 general election, the youth aged 18-35, years constituted over 9.4 million voters representing 55% (Fifty five percent) of the total voters.

California Must Accelerate Actions Now to Meet 2030 Emissions Reduction Goal
Edison partners with the state and others in working to reduce emissions across all sectors of the economy
For California to meet its 2030 (and 2045) decarbonization goals, it must quadruple its annual rate of greenhouse gas reductions by adopting market-transforming policies within the next one to two years. This is according to “Mind the Gap: Policies for California’s Countdown to 2030,” a new paper published by Edison International.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210923005892/en/
Edison International - Mind the Gap: Policies for California's Countdown to 2030 edison.com/MindtheGap.
“California is already experiencing the accelerating and compounding effects of climate change,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “Not only must public policy address the uncertainty and risk inherent in climate change, it must be reframed to redress historical, present and future inequities, such as the greater impact climate change is having on low-income residents and communities of color. This has significant implications for planning, funding needs, funding mechanisms and program and project execution. At Edison, we will continue working in partnership with the state and federal governments and with other stakeholders, including the communities we serve, to advance policies.”
Previous papers from Southern California Edison, Edison International’s utility subsidiary, identified an achievable and affordable route to realize California's 2030 and 2045 greenhouse gas reduction goals by dramatically increasing renewable energy and storage, using that clean energy to electrify other sectors like transportation and buildings, employing low-carbon fuels like clean hydrogen for hard-to-electrify applications and using carbon capture.
“Mind the Gap: Policies for California’s Countdown to 2030” is Edison International’s analysis of the policy changes and additions needed to ensure that California meets its 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal — a reduction vital for the state to ultimately achieve its goal to decarbonize its economy by 2045.
California has been reducing GHG emissions by an average of 1% per year since 2005, which is notable given California’s economy has grown 3% per year over the same period. To meet its 2030 goal, however, the reduction must rise to 4.1% each year through 2030. The reductions resulting from current policies, even if successfully implemented, will fall short of the 2030 target by about 30 million metric tons.
“Our paper discusses where the state has made progress and which additional actions are needed now to meet California’s 2030 goals,” said Pizarro. “We provide specific state and federal policy recommendations for closing the gaps in critical areas: decarbonizing the power supply; preparing the grid for shifts in usage and increasing demands; and efficiently electrifying transportation and buildings.”
“The electric sector has made significant progress in reducing GHG emissions, reducing its share over 40% since 2005,” said Erica Bowman, director of the Edison International CEO’s Office and principal author of the policy paper. “However, decarbonization requires GHG emissions reductions across all sectors of the economy. Federal and state policies are needed to continue the progress of the electric sector and accelerate the electrification of other sectors and to ensure the reliability and resilience of the grid. These include policies that support sufficient transmission infrastructure to interconnect renewable resources as well as adequate distribution infrastructure.”
In contrast, GHG emissions from the transportation sector have been increasing since 2013 and remain California’s biggest decarbonization challenge. While electric vehicle (EV) sales in California have outpaced the national average and trends point to increasingly favorable economics for electric vehicles, additional incentives for EV purchases and charging infrastructure will be needed. On the current trajectory, California will fall short by 60% for transportation electrification and more than 50% for residential building electrification in 2030.
Most building decarbonization assessments confirm the electrification of buildings represents a significant, cost-effective opportunity to reduce GHG emissions both in the near and long terms. Edison International’s internal analysis concludes that the current trajectory of programs and policies supporting building electrification is insufficient to achieve California's GHG emissions target.
“There is also a crucial role for the federal government to play, especially in helping create functioning markets that support the affordable electrification of key sectors,” Bowman added. “Substantial capital must be deployed throughout the country if the U.S. is going to meet the Nationally Determined Contribution goal of 50%-52% economywide emission reductions by 2030.”
The decarbonization actions needed for California to meet its 2030 goals are no exception to this capital need. Additionally, these capital investments in renewable electricity, efficient buildings and electric vehicles offset substantial annual fossil fuels and maintenance costs.
“We believe the role of utility companies is to work in close partnership with our state’s policymakers and regulatory bodies to develop and implement the necessary structures and conditions to support the successful, equitable and affordable transition to a clean-energy economy,” Pizarro said. “This will require greater funding, improving, clarifying and harmonizing goals, standards, planning and approaches to how the transition takes place and how quickly.”

April 25, 2020 -Feast of St. Mark, the Evangelist
Click here for the readings (http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/042520.cfm)
St. Mark was converted to the faith by Peter, who journeyed with Peter to Rome and served as his secretary or interpreter. When St. Peter wrote his first pastoral letter to the churches in Asia, he called him affectionately as “my son Mark.” Mark is considered as the author of the Gospel of Mark. According to tradition, he was sent to Egypt and founded the Church of Alexandria. One day he was seized by pagan authorities, dragged by ropes over stones and thrown into prison and died as a martyr. (Source: ibreviary)
Today is the Feast of St. Mark, believed to be the author or the person behind the Gospel of Mark. The Gospel of Mark is believed also to be the earliest Gospel among the four. One evident characteristic of the Gospel that would tell us about this, is that it is the shortest. The Gospel is more direct in telling the story of Jesus. There are less elaborations or if there are explanations, then, those are short and simple.
This tells us too that the community of St. Mark to whom this Gospel was addressed had that consciousness to preserve the story of Jesus through writing. It is through writing, then, that the memory of the Risen Jesus will be preserved and will be handed down from one generation to another. True indeed, that memory has been preserved and we today, share that memory of the early Christian community.
What actually moved them to do this? Or what made Mark to decide to write what had been told to him by his mentor St. Peter?
We will find the answer at the end part of the Gospel of Mark. Jesus said to the apostles, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”
The followers of Jesus were now ready. They have become firm in their faith and so were all sent by Jesus to share and proclaim the joyful message who is Jesus himself.
Yes, the Gospel that they were about to proclaim is the person of Jesus, the God-with-us, who died and restores us through his resurrection. Mark being an assistant to St. Peter had become a witness of such joy. Mark himself experienced the joy of being with Jesus and being loved by the Lord just like Peter.
This joy of being with Jesus is what made Mark and his community to write down their memory of Jesus so that others will also be able to experience the joy that they have tasted.
Today, for all of us who have been the recipients of this great joy proclaimed to us in the Gospel of Mark, each of us is also called to “proclaim Jesus to every creature.” Each of us who have been able to experience the “goodness of God is called to to sing it for ever,” as our Psalm proclaimed to us today.
May I invite you then to be more aware of this invitation from Jesus – to go and share Jesus to every person we meet, to every creature that we will touch and encounter.
Despite the physical distancing, the call of staying home and enhanced community quarantine, sharing Jesus to our brothers and sisters in the most concrete ways is still very possible. Expressing concrete actions of kindness and generosity to your neighbors in need is a way of sharing Jesus. Comforting an anxious and troubled friend is a way of making Jesus alive too. We do share Jesus not just as a mere memory of the past, but making Jesus alive in flesh through us. Thus, go and share Jesus today! Hinaut pa.

Dallas is a fairly large city, and the experience you can expect to have here will vary based on the part of town that you live in. If you’re thinking about moving to the Far North Dallas neighborhood, there are several different questions that you’ll want to ask yourself.
Is This Neighborhood Affordable For You?
This isn’t one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Dallas. With that said, it’s still a good idea to look at the rental rates and home prices in this area. You’ll want to determine whether or not this neighborhood is in your price range. Where you live in Dallas will have a big impact on what you spend.
How Do You Feel In The Neighborhood?
If you haven’t spend a lot of time in this neighborhood, you should take the time to visit it. Go for a walk around the area. Check out some of the restaurants in this part of Dallas. See if this neighborhood can offer the things that are important to you. Not everyone wants the same things in a neighborhood; it’s important to find a place that feels like home.
What Would Your Commute Look Like?
Even if you work in Dallas, you might wind up living fairly far from your employer. This is a large city, and things are fairly spread out. You should figure out what your daily commute would be like if you opted to live here. If you’d have a long commute, then this neighborhood might not be the best option for you.
If you’re trying to decide whether or not you want to move to the Far North Dallas neighborhood, you should definitely ask yourself these questions! While this may not be the best Dallas neighborhood for you, it’s still smart to consider all of the options that you have.

COVID-19 Provider Guidance
May 7th, 2020
In March, the Health Department released guidance regarding COVID-19 testing. The guidance at that time was influenced by short supplies of tests kits and PPE for collecting tests safely. Our strategy was to use the Influenza-like Illness (ILI) sentinel surveillance system to monitor the outbreak. Below I have the most recent graphs showing ILI information though it has been relabeled COVID-like Illness. During that time and to the present, we were asking you all to assume the mild case was COVID-19 and to advise the patient as such, and not test unless you felt the results changed medical management of the patient.
As North Carolina positions to re-open, the Beaufort County Health Department and our medical liaisons are asking you to slightly shift to a less stringent testing criteria so that we can identify early on those that are positive in an effort to provide mitigation in our community through contact and tracing. We would like you to begin testing all those you suspect of having COVID-19. Close contacts of a positive case may also be tested. Most of your practices already have procedures in place on how to test the patient. We are working with the practices to manage the data collection and the identification of cases and their contacts.
The Health Department's goal is to monitor the number of all tests conducted (positive and negative) to be able to determine the percentage of confirmed positive cases in the county. A second goal is to enhance early identification and contact tracing to help with mitigation of outbreaks, as well as to ease some of the public concerns in the county and help businesses/organizations re-open operations.
The Health Department will still collect COVID-19 tests for your practice if it is not able to do so. Please call ahead at 252-946-1902 so that we can arrange the test with your patient.
To help us with our goals, we have simplified the documentation and changed the process to send us the forms. Starting Monday, May 11, 2020, please fill out the signature and guidance sheet (PDF) and the investigation report (PDF) on every patient you test for COVID-19 and send to us. Instead of faxing the forms, we would like you to send through secure email to Christine Womble. If your practice is not able to use the secure email established, please utilize the method established by us with your business operations. We can be reached by phone at 252-946-1902 to help establish a process if one has not already been generated.
Likewise, we ask for you to send us the lab results when they come in (negatives as well as the positives). This notification of the results can be through the secure email provided or through another method worked out with the health department. We need this information to accurately follow the percentage of positive tests without trying to adjust for pending results status.
Also, please give the patient the Managing Symptoms at Home (English (PDF)) or (Spanish (PDF)) handout and a Contact Form (English (PDF)) or (Spanish (PDF)) for them to fill out while they wait for the results.

An abortion business is using a popular media resource to promote parental acceptance of transgender children.
The Planned Parenthood video, designed for parents, suggests there is nothing they can do to change their child's gender identity -- that a boy who wants to be a girl should be left to his view of the subject.
Jim Sedlak of the American Life League (ALL) says it is just a business move to generate more revenue for the organization, as Planned Parenthood provides drugs to children in order to prevent puberty.
"Planned Parenthood in a number of places is selling what they call puberty blockers, which are products that block the production of testosterone in boys and estrogen in girls until the kids can pick out what gender they want to be," Sedlak explains.
But in many states, parents must consent to the puberty blockers, so the video is really propaganda to convince them to sign on the dotted line for the sake of their child's mental health, which the ALL president says is a false statement.
"So Planned Parenthood in our estimation has started this widespread campaign to get parents to get comfortable with letting children choose their identity so that the parents will sign off and Planned Parenthood will be allowed to deliver these puberty blockers to their children," Sedlak continues.
The truth, however, is children usually outgrow the gender dysphoria by their teenage years, or the psychological problem can be addressed through mental health counseling.

Overwhelming majority agree to industrial action over changes to bonus payments
Dockers at the UK Port of Felixstowe have voted in favour of strike action over proposed changes to bonus payments.
Talks will now take place next week in an attempt to avert industrial action between Unite officials and the owner of Felixstowe docks, Hutchison Ports, with the arbitration service ACAS.
According to Unite, who represent some 2,500 workers at the UK’s largest port, an overwhelming majority of more than 90 percent of its members voted to sanction the strike if the situation cannot be resolved.
In an open letter addressed to Felixstowe’s dockworkers prior to the vote, union official Phil Pemberton stressed to members the importance of protecting their terms and conditions. In response Hutchison offered to suspend any such changes to allow time for negotiations. However, Pemberton, with the backing of his colleagues, stated that the offer was “totally unacceptable”, report the Ipswich Star.
“Contrary to the company’s opinion the union are committed to ensuring the continued success of the port and our members,” said Pemberton.
“However, I would like the workforce to be treated with respect and if there is a need for change that it is negotiated and agreed and never imposed.”
The Port of Felixstowe handled a record 3.7 million TEU in 2012, representing over 40 percent of all containers moved through UK ports.

Reid Norden, shared the photos with JP magazine. The photos were taken of his dad, Orrin, back when he raced Jeeps for Brian Chuchua’s Jeep in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Anyone have any good photos or stories about Chuchua and his racing Jeeps?

Titled The X Tour, the songstress will play a string of arenas up and down the UK, culminating at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on November 14.
Christina's tour will be the first time she plays shows in England since she dropped her eighth studio Liberation.
The record, which was released on June 15 last year was met with a mixed reaction from fans and peaked at number 17 on the Official Top 40.
During the height of her fame, Christina dominated airwaves after releasing hit after hit.
Thanks to the likes of Dirrty, and Fighter and Ain't No Other Man, Xtina is one of the most successful pop powerhouses on the planet.
Taking to Instagram, to account the tour, the blonde babe wrote: "THE X TOUR— surprise.
"This one’s for all my Fighters in Europe — Tickets go on sale THIS WEEK."
The former The Voice USA judge continued: "Thank you for being patient with me.
"I heard you loud and clear so I’ve been quietly putting this together for you... can’t wait to get back overseas again."

We met tonight to work on the project. After a brief
discussion we decided not to work tonight since tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
We all agreed that we were thankful for the companionship and progress made
on the project. Like any good relationship, we have had, and still will
have our differences of opinion, but we just keep sailing to smoother
We also want to thank our Webmaster Randy Cameron. We also want to Thank
all of you. Seeing all the hits on the website and compliments some of you
have sent really do mean a lot to us.
In closing, Thank You and have a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving!
Tonight was spent with all 3 of us working on the horizontal
fin & elevators. First business was to sand the formers in the fuse to
allow the horizontal to slide into place again. The horizontal tips were
marked and drilled to accept the carbon fiber tube for the hinge wire.
The elevator was held into proper position and the tips were glued to the
Next a 1 x 1 x 1-7/8 balsa block was installed in line with the elevator
hinge wire, on the inboard horizontal fin center section. With elevator
removed we installed the hinge wire and used it for a guide,
while we pushed a heated brass tube into the new balsa block. Now we
inserted another piece of carbon fiber tube into the new hole.
To explain the whole picture, the hinge wire is supported in the wing tip
with carbon fiber and at the fuse/horizontal center is another carbon tube
with the wire also going through 2 delrin blocks in the
elevator. This resulted in a very strong and smooth hinge on the elevators.
The last step of the night was to add 1/16 & 1/32 balsa sheets to fill a
couple of places on the horizontal that were concaved or depressions.
Then the entire horizontal stab was sanded smooth. The horizontal stab in
not yet glued into the fuse yet as we want to do a few more things before we
make it one big assembly. -- Gary Himes

I don't know what it is, I guess it makes me very Dutch, but I Love Bread.
And I especially Love home baked bread.
Every time I bake my own bread I decide that, since it is Soooo Easy, I should bake a fresh loaf at least once a week.
Needless to say: I never really seem to get to it as often as I'd like... (once every three months is more like it)
For convenience I usually buy the halfway-there-already-bread-mix in the supermarket (poor, I know), but that might change if I could get my hands on the next set of spoons by Niels Datema:
|Photographs courtesy of http://www.nielsdatema.nl/|
"The smell of a home baked loaf, the taste of a crunchy crust, the texture of a slice of whole grain bread, all of these experiences can come when you bake your bread with these five spoons.
To bake a nice loaf of bread you only need; flour, water, yeast, sugar and oil.
Every spoon is for one ingredient, you can see this on the side of the handle.
The rest you need are your 2 hands so you can enhance your breakfast with home-baked bread."
As I didn't find any price-information on-line, I'm afraid this set of spoons might still be in the prototype-phase. But since the project is popping up all over the internet right now, I have good hopes it won't be long until I can kiss my semi-prepared-bread-mix goodbye and instead use the Breadspoons to bake 'real' homemade bread.
Whoever has more information about a possible production of the spoons, please let me know!

Nature Is Blooming!
This morning was the first time that one of our classes was able to enjoy our newly improved outdoor garden classroom. The children were excited to see what was behind the wooden gate and I heard lots of whispers about the “secret garden”. Once inside they were amazed to see all of the plants and flowers, they sampled mulberries from the tree, and then were seated for their lesson on planting their garden.
The garden educator showed them the seeds that they would plant: pumpkin, watermelon and sunflowers. She talked about the roots and parts of the plants, she told them about the work they would have to do to make sure that their plants survived. They all agreed that they could do it.
They would water! They would weed!
Then the educator taught them how to make their own pots out of newspaper. They listened and argued that “origami was too complicated”, but they watched over and over again until they got it (kind of) right and they each made their pot and planted their seeds.
This first plant class today was very important because we used a nature-filled outdoor classroom. Our outdoor classroom was designed to support exploration and a wide range of sensory experiences. I hope that as our outdoor classroom garden grows we bring more and more children to explore it and learn in it.
What another wonderful way to connect our guests to nature!

Resting in the Pacific Ocean 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, these 19 volcanic islands have been inspiring travellers with their natural wonders for hundreds of years. Charles Darwin famously rocked up here during his voyage on the Beagle and the observations he made went a long towards proving his theory of natural selection.
Despite the popular image of the islands as essentially an ecological theme park containing little more than lizards and strangely named birds, the Galapagos boasts several towns (the largest, Puerto Ayora, has a population of around 18,000) which have built up around the tourist industry. Outside of these however, most of the islands are still preserved at their wild best, with fearless animals and stunning landscapes.
We’ve already told you All You’ll Ever Need to Know About Travelling the Galapagos Islands but now we’re giving you our pick of the top 5 experiences too!
Definitely not a “seen one island seen them all” kind of place, the landscape of the Galapagos ranges from sheer, craggy cliffs to white sand beaches to stunning hidden coves and taking a sailing trip is the best way to explore the diversity of this area.
Make port at several different islands, snorkel over extinct volcanoes and walk with fearless wildlife. Many of the best companies also have an on board naturalist who will help you gain a deeper understanding of exactly what you’re seeing (which makes a change from the classic “ahhhh look at the sea lion” approach we normally go for).
See Some Boobies
On the Galapagos Islands bird watching is not just for the dedicated twitchier. There are hundreds of species of birds, many of which are unique to the island including Darwin’s finches, Galapagos penguins and even the American flamingo. There are also the instantly recognisable blue footed boobies (snigger) whose mating dance is entertaining to say the least.
Visit a Real Life Jurassic Park
The Galapagos Islands are a place where you get the feeling that perhaps humans really aren’t that important after all. Instead jumping up and scurrying away at the first footsteps, the giant tortoises, sea iguanas and lava lizards will stoically go about their business scarcely bothered by your presence.
Some of these creatures look like they’ve just stepped out of the prehistoric and on to the beach next to you – though most are less aggressive than your standard Velociraptor.
Volunteer for Nature
Let’s face it, a collection of fantastically ecologically diverse islands miles away from the coast with limited development and a reputation as an exclusive destination are never going to be cheap! One of the most economical ways to see the islands is to give something back to them and volunteer.
Whether you’re helping to conserve wildlife species or native forests, or enjoying your weekends off with a visit to the beach, you’re bound to make some great friends while you work to make sure this island paradise will stay protected for those who come long after you.
Snorkel off Tortuga Bay
Unlike many island escapes, the Galapagos is not famed for its beaches – which tend towards the lavic rather than the luscious! Tortuga Bay is an exception to the rule, a beautiful stretch of sand leading to a sheltered natural cove perfect for a dip in the crystal clear ocean.
Strap on a snorkel and you might be lucky enough to spot sea turtles and small sharks while sharing the beach with basking marine iguanas and frolicking sea lions.


text: The most beautiful section of the Caribbean port town of Cienfuegos extends as a peninsula out into the bay, ending in a lovely neighborhood called Punta Gorda. After lunch at the waterside Club Cienfuegos there, we walked around the docks and wound up here at the Palacio de Valle. Originally built in the early 1900s as the home of a wealthy sugar merchant, the Spanish-Moorish-Venetian fantasy later became a casino and pleasure palace (during the American gangster period) and now houses a post-Revolution upscale restaurant on its shadowy and cool first floor, a luxe cocktail lounge on its roof and in its dreamlike gardens. Fleeing a somewhat macabre songstress perched by the lobby’s out-of-tune piano (she called herself the Queen of Cuban Soul), we found this extravagant balcony. The archway, the filigree, the colors. All begged a photo.

Phoenix police warned demonstrators before releasing pepper spray and gas in the moments after President Donald Trump’s rally Tuesday, but that warning may not have reached everyone, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said.
Amid charges of civil-rights violations and complaints by some protesters that police struck without provocation, Williams commended her officers, saying she was proud of their professionalism in a tense environment.
Groups such as the ACLU of Arizona are calling for an independent investigation, saying that Phoenix officers failed to protect the First Amendment rights of demonstrators. The group is asking people to submit photos or video showing excessive use of force by police.
Williams said officers showed restraint and that they did warn protesters of their intent to use pepper spray and gas.

There are few things quite as fascinating as learning what people in the past dreamed about the future.
A series of paintings made by Jean-Marc Côté and other French artists in 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1910 shows artist depictions of what life might look like in the year 2000, or the equivalent of what modern-day artists think life might look like 100 years from today. According to the Public Domain Review, the first series of images were printed and enclosed in cigarette and cigar boxes around the time of the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.
What is particularly striking is that lots of their ideas involve mechanized devices, flying, or a combination of the two. Some of the portraits are quite fantastic and bizarre by modern standards, but others are surprisingly accurate visions of our current era, including helicopters, farming machines, and what looks like a precursor to the new robot vacuum, the iRobot Roomba vacuum.
The 4th Industrial Revolution is well and truly…


Kidnapper in Paris Jewish shop is killed by French police
The man, identified as Amedy Coulibaly, who had taken a dozen people as hostages, including women and children, in a kosher shop in the east of Paris, was killed after the assault by security forces at the premises, according to police sources .
At least four bursts of automatic weapon and shouts of “to the ground” were heard inside the premises during the operation, which has allowed the release of several hostages for hours.
According to a latest report, at least four hostages would have died during the police operation.
The kidnappers, according to data provided by the police at first, were Amedy Coulibaly, 32, and Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, who allegedly escaped, according to CNN, and would be wanted by French authorities.
Coulibaly had demanded the release of jihadists Cherif and Said Kouachi, entrenched in a printing company in northeastern Paris and had threatened to provoke a “bloodbath” if their demands were not met.
The Paris police had released the photograph of Coulibaly and identified him as a suspect in the murder of a police, occurred on Thursday during another attack.

Although Republicans evaluate the numerous formidable contenders available for the 2024 presidential candidacy, with former President Donald Trump in the lead, Democrats lack a clear frontrunner for their campaign. Although President Joseph Biden has stated that he would compete for re-election, he has not made an official statement to that effect, and the consensus of People is gradually shifting against him. Quinnipiac reported in a November poll that 54 percent of Americans believe Biden would not seek re-election in 2024.
-Americans were asked about whether they’d be more or less likely to vote for a candidate who was endorsed by Joe Biden. Overall, 16 percent say they would be more likely to vote for the candidate, 29 percent say less likely, and 53 percent say it doesn’t make a difference.
-Among Democrats, 42 percent say they will be more likely to vote for the candidate, 53 percent say it doesn’t make a difference, and 3 percent say less likely.
-A majority of Americans, 54 – 33 percent, say they think Joe Biden will not run for president in 2024, with another 13 percent not offering an opinion.
-Just under half of Americans (48 percent) say they think it would be bad for the country if Joe Biden ran for president in 2024, while 37 percent think it would be good for the country.
In early February, an AP-NORC poll found that Biden only has support from 37 percent of Democrats for a second term. Prior to the midterms last November, the same poll found that 52 percent wanted Biden to run again in 2024. “While Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories and ability to govern, the poll suggests relatively few U.S. adults give him high marks on either. Follow-up interviews with poll respondents suggest that many believe the 80-year-old’s age is a liability, with people focused on his coughing, his gait, his gaffes, and the possibility that the world’s most stressful job would be better suited for someone younger,” the Associated Press reported.
The AP report continued with bad news for Biden:
Overall, 41% approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, the poll shows, similar to ratings at the end of last year. A majority of Democrats still approve of the job Biden is doing as president, yet their appetite for a reelection campaign has slipped despite his electoral track record. Only 22% of U.S. adults overall say he should run again, down from 29% who said so before last year’s midterm elections.
The fall among Democrats who believe Biden should run for president again appears to be concentrated among younger voters. 49% of Democrats aged 45 and over believe Biden should seek re-election, almost the same percentage as in October (58%). 23% of those under the age of 45 now believe he should seek for re-election, compared to 45% before the midterms.
A brand new Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that a majority of registered voters believe Biden is “too old for another term” in office. About seven in ten people (68%) stated that the president’s age of 80 is a concern for them. And, according to this latest survey, a growing number of Democrats concur with this judgment. Conservative Brief notes that over 48% of Democratic voters believe Biden’s age is an issue, while only 34% think the president’s age does not bother them.
The New York Post detailed more of the findings from the new poll:
“Eighteen percent of Democrats polled were not sure if Biden was too old for another term. Already the oldest president in US history, Biden would be 86 by the end of his second term if he were to win re-election in 2024. A majority of independents, 71%, also said that age 82 was too old to start a second term as president, which is how old Biden would be on his second Inauguration Day. Biden has not formally declared that he will run for a second term but he has said on several occasions that he intends to seek re-election.”
During a recent appearance in front of Democratic officials and activists last month, Biden signaled that a 2024 re-election announcement would certainly be forthcoming. “We’re just getting started. I intend to get… more done,” Biden told the Philadelphia throng. “As of this month, we’ve created 12 million new jobs. We’ve created more new jobs in two years than any president did in their entire term.”
Democrats must catch up with the times. The Republican primary train has left the station and is speeding across America, with former President Trump as the front-runner and Nikki Haley also on the campaign road. Ron DeSantis is expected to make an announcement soon, and additional Republican candidates are expected to begin announcing their intentions for 2024, but Trump is in such a commanding lead that speculation in the Republican camp has shifted to the numerous ideal candidates for Trump’s running mate.


The past three years’ incarnations of Devilpalooza have lived up to the high expectations of lively crowds, talented performers and insane energy.
Following this year’s artist announcement on Jan. 16, there was a mix of hype and confusion over the choice to have Quinn XCII to perform.
Quinn XCII, born Mikael Temrowski, began writing and recording his own music in 2011 during his time at Michigan State University. He released his debut EP, "Change of Scenery," in 2015. Since then, Quinn XCII has put out one EP, two studio albums and various singles, with "From Michigan With Love" peaking at 90 on theBillboard 200 chart.
For all those unfamiliar with the Detroit-born singer, including myself, here is your go-to guide to get informed and pumped before snagging your tickets to the must-see concert of the spring.
'Love Me Less'
This is arguably Quinn XCII’s most known song, gaining over 100 million streams on Spotify and reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. He lends his rap skills to this fast-paced bop alongside singer-songwriter MAX. The soulful beats and occasional falsettos set this apart from most pop love songs today. You can’t help but start dancing whenever you hear the first piano chords strike.
Olivia Munson is a digital producer for The State Press. She previously served as editor of the publication's The Echo desk. In the past, she has worked for Arizona PBS, The Arizona Republic and The Entertainer! magazine.

International children’s literature contest comes to SFU Vancouver
By Kamilah Charters-Gabanek.
The winning team will be invited to represent British Columbia at the Kids’ Lit Quiz Canada National Final, taking place at Branksome Hall in Toronto in February. The competition has never looked so plentiful, with 21 public and private schools competing for the national final— a ten team increase since last year.
"An integral part of SFU's commitment to community engagement is connecting with local citizens in mutually beneficial ways," says Laurie Anderson, executive director of SFU’s Vancouver campus.
"One such initiative is hosting the annual Kids' Lit Quiz, a joint project involving SFU's Faculty of Education, the Vancouver Public Library, and elementary students from across the Lower Mainland."
This year's panel of judges includes SFU Education professor Beth Marshall, teacher Stephanie Yorath and Vancouver Public Library children’s librarian Tess Prendergast.
Kids’ Lit Quiz (KLQ) is an annual international literary tournament that promotes reading, motivates readers and provides consensus building and leadership opportunities for teams of students aged 10 to 13 years.
Designed to be a fun and personally challenging experience for students whose passion is reading, the KLQ focuses on championing readers and reading.
“An event like the KLQ is important because it honours youth who are interested in books and to reading experiences that aren’t confined to the school curriculum,” says Beth Marshall, SFU Education professor whose research and teaching centres on children’s and young adult literature.
“The KLQ allows for fresh connections with the community including public school teachers, parents, youth, and a larger international community committed to drawing attention to all of the diverse and innovative forms of children’s and young adult literature available.”
Now in its 26th year, the international program has focused on growing an engaged community of student readers.
Always guaranteed a fun time for all ages, a team of celebrated Canadian children’s book authors will also compete against the BC school participants. Authors include Susin Nielson, John Wilson, Dan Bar-el and Jeremy Tankard.
