Every day some 10,000 Baby Boomers reach retirement age – a fact that's giving birth to a major headache for manufacturers reliant on well-trained employees.
By 2018, a huge percentage this Boomer population will retire. Since nearly 50 percent of the manufacturing workforce is comprised of Boomers, there's plenty of reason for worry.
“It's getting to the point where it's going to hit home,” said Bonnie Spayd, a long-time member of the technical education community. Without a young workforce willing to take the roles of retiring Boomers, the country is going to struggle, she explained.
The oldest members of the Baby Boomer generation reached age 60 by the end of 2006. The situation will get much worse before it gets better, experts predict.
Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center Administrative Director Gerald Witmer sees the diminishing workforce as a big problem.
“Manufacturing needs people who are highly skilled; right now the pool of skilled workers doesn't exist,” he explained.
Indeed, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, “Several of the occupations in the manufacturing sector are managerial or highly skilled jobs, normally held by older, more experienced workers. It is the experience and skill that many manufacturing companies will miss most, because of the length of time it takes to train new workers.”
Increasing numbers of retirees are only partially to blame for the growing lack of workers in the manufacturing industry. The image of the industry has also been to blame in the past for lackluster interest in manufacturing jobs.
“Everyone wanted their kids to get into the four-year degree and find a good job and not have to work so hard, said Spayd, director of business and industry programs at Reading Area Community College.
“For a number of years, manufacturing was a tough place to work. That's so not true now. It's become in the U.S. if you're making anything and making a profit, you're using sophisticated machines. It's not the Dark Ages.
“The need for a skilled technician in manufacturing has always been a big deal. For the last 15 to 20 years, (students) haven't been encouraged into the trades.”
The tide may be turning, said Spayd.
In Berks County, the Greater Reading Economic Partnership, the Reading Area Community College, and Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center and local businesses are working together to spread the word about the region's manufacturing programs for high school students so they can step into more profitable and successful careers without the burden of a debt to a four-year school.
Dubbed “Careers in 2 Years,” the marketing campaign seeks to draw students into a field that offers numerous job prospects and competitive wages.
“We were calling on local companies to see if they're having issues and to see what's going on in the workforce,” explained Aaron Costenbader, marketing coordinator for the Greater Reading Economic Partnership.
“Manufacturing companies had open positions but were having trouble finding people with the necessary skills. We wanted to see how we, as an organization, can impact that in a positive way,”
The Careers in 2 Years program seeks to dispel those stereotypes while touting the advantages of joining the new manufacturing industry – an industry that is clean, profitable and requires a greater technical skill.
“Some of the things we've discussed are the misconception of the industry. It's very different than it used to be years ago. There's a stigma also facing high school students and career and technology school. We want to dispel that negative perception,” said Costenbader.
As a result of this movement towards getting young people into the manufacturing industry, there has been the creation of a “mechatronics” degree at local technical schools. Mechatronics is defined as a combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering, software engineering, control engineering and systems design engineering.
Students can get a head start on this degree program at their local Career Technical Center and complete the program at a Community College.
A joint program will soon be starting between Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center and Reading Area Community College. Students will be able to earn a number of credits at the CTC and articulate those credits to the community college.

A recent article by Maria Cosgrove in CSO asked the question “Wouldn’t it be nice if software developers had something like spellcheck, but instead of catching simple grammar mistakes, it caught basic security problems?”
Very good question, especially when you think about all the cyber security problems and attacks we’ve seen in recent months. The reality is that developers are still writing software with security vulnerabilities. As project timelines contract and more people are involved, the development cycle becomes more complex and is prone to problems. If the problems were rarely seen bugs, it would be one thing, but why are there so many basic errors inside a lot of software?

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by indulging in a rich and creamy chocolate mousse? This delectable dessert is the perfect treat to share with your loved one and is sure to ignite sparks of joy and romance. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced chef, this easy-to-follow recipe will help you create a decadent chocolate mousse that will melt hearts and satisfy taste buds.
Why Chocolate Mousse is the Perfect Valentine’s Day Treat
Chocolate mousse has long been associated with romance and indulgence, making it the perfect dessert to serve on Valentine’s Day. The silky texture and intense chocolate flavor create a luxurious experience that is hard to resist. This velvety delight is not only visually appealing but also incredibly versatile. You can personalize it by adding toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder to suit your taste and make it even more special.
Furthermore, studies have shown that chocolate contains compounds that can stimulate the release of endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones, and boost serotonin levels, promoting feelings of happiness and relaxation. So not only will sharing a chocolate mousse with your loved one be a delicious experience, but it may also enhance the romantic mood of the evening.
Easy-to-Follow Recipe for a Decadent Chocolate Mousse
Valentine’s Day Chocolate Mousse
a sweet and creamy dessert for Valentine’s Day
- 200 G Quality dark chocolate
- 4 Large Eggs, separated
- 50 G Granulated sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
- 250 Ml Heavy Cream
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
Gradually fold in the whipped cream until the mixture becomes smooth and airy.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Tips to Elevate Your Chocolate Mousse Experience
- Experiment with different flavors: Add a hint of orange zest, a splash of liqueur, or a pinch of sea salt to elevate the taste of your chocolate mousse.
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will greatly impact the final result. Opt for a dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a rich and intense flavor.
- Don’t rush the chilling process: Allowing the mousse to set in the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time will enhance its texture and make it even more indulgent.
- Serve in style: Present your chocolate mousse in elegant glassware or ramekins to create a visually stunning dessert that will impress your loved one.
So, this Valentine’s Day, surprise your partner with a homemade chocolate mousse that is sure to sweeten the celebration.

Adding to these woes, the system is badly underfunded and suffering from neglect. This is not a new problem, but it is getting worse, with deferred maintenance that mostly predates the Trump administration now topping $11 billion. But President Trump isn’t helping.

Chronic stress causes problems in every area of life, not the least of which is physical sickness and mental exhaustion. Many people’s depression and/ or anxiety can be traced to chronic high levels of stress. We live in a face-paced and complex world with more stressors than ever. The problem is that people who are stressed out don’t feel they have the time to do anything about it- and so the stress gets worse and worse.
When you honestly have very little time to take a step back from life and take care of yourself, you need to get creative about carving out peaceful moments throughout each day. Prioritize and simplify wherever you can, because as the old adage says, if you don’t take time to be well now, you will certainly take time to be sick later. While you’re figuring out how to cut some things out (!), here are some simple strategies you can implement today to de-stress:More

- Bitcoin Cash bounced off support at $225; ongoing bullish momentum targets both $240 and $250 resistances.
- BCH/USD is in the hands of the bulls as seen with the up-trending RSI and the MACD above the midline.
Bitcoin Cash has majestically renewed the bullish momentum after a gruesome session on Monday that saw the price plunge to $225. Recovery has been steady with Bitcoin Cash stepping above the 50 SMA in the hourly range. Short term support at $235 is currently functioning as the stepping stone for the ongoing recovery aiming for $240 in the near term and $250 in the medium term.
BCH/USD is teetering at $237 as volatility surges as shown by the widening Bollinger Bands. The cryptoasset is grinding higher into the upper BB curve. A break above $240 could catapult Bitcoin Cash towards $250 in a matter of hours. Besides, the entire cryptocurrency market is turning green. As long as the trading volume continues to grow, Bitcoin bulls are likely to fully regain full control over the price.
After taking technical levels indicators into account, we can tell that the European session would be an eventful one. The RSI is almost crossing the line into the overbought region. There is still room for growth considering that this is the hourly range. The bullish momentum is also highlighted by the MACD, currently settling above the midline. Moreover, a bullish divergence from the MACD places EOS into the able hands of the bulls.
For now, holding onto the initial support at the 50 SMA ($235) is key for the rally towards $250. Other support areas of interest are $230 and $225. The overall technical picture is bullish and the European session could experience an increase in volatility and even trading volume.

Relatively new on the Springfield band scene, Ryman’s Way takes their name from the Ryman Auditorium, the renowned building in Nashville that housed the Grand Ole Opry for decades during the heyday of classic country music. The venue again hosts live music, still inspiring thousands of performers and fans, just like it inspires bandmates Larry Robbins (drums), Adam Rice (vocals, guitar), Verl Prather (vocals, bass) and Steve Harbin (vocals, lead guitar, harmonica). Blessed with three equally strong lead vocalists, the quartet gets the advantage in diversity by using Adam (from Decatur), Verl (from Springfield) and Steve (from Greenview) to range from old country to classic rock and blues, plus a bunch of places in between as Larry (from Sherman) holds down the beat on whatever the guys can sing. By doing songs that are familiar, feel-good numbers from artists such as Haggard, Hank, Cash, CCR, Skynyrd, the Who and Petty, the hardworking band can play in front of all kinds of crowds varying in ages and tastes, and that could include you.

It’s been a busy offseason for former Wildcat Solomon Hill, who on Wednesday was traded for the second time in less than two weeks. His latest move takes him from the Atlanta Hawks to the Memphis Grizzlies, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Memphis has agreed to trade Chandler Parsons to Atlanta for Solomon Hill and Miles Plumlee, league sources tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 3, 2019
Hill, who played last season for the New Orleans Pelicans, was traded to the Atlanta Hawks on June 20 in a deal in which he was the only player. The Pelicans and Hawks swapped six draft picks, including five from the 2019 NBA Draft that was held that same night.
Entering the final season of a four-year, $48 million contract, the 6-foot-7 Hill is due to earn $12.7 million in 2019-20. The 28-year-old averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 44 games (12 starts) last season for the Pelicans, his third year with the club after signing in 2016 as a free agent.
In six NBA seasons, Hill is averaging 5.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 39.5 percent overall and 32.7 percent from three-point range.
Hill is the second former Arizona basketball star to be traded to Memphis this summer. Wing Andre Igoudala was sent to the Grizzlies by the Golden State Warriors on June 30 in exchange for picks in the 2024, 2025 and 2026 drafts. That move was precipitated by the Warriors’ acquisition of point guard D’Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade deal with the Brooklyn Nets.
Igoudala, 35, is also entering the final year of his contract, a 3-year, $48-million deal in which he’s due to earn $17.1 million this season.

Tight government budgets may bring closed pools and longer grass in the parks this summer, says the St. Cloud Times.
Parks and recreation budgets are taking a hit as many local governments trim “optional” services they aren’t required by law to provide, such as parks, rather than critical services like public safety and road maintenance.
For example, St. Cloud’s Recreation Department must cut $400,000 from its $1.6 million 2009 budget. A large part of that will come from closing four of the city’s wading pools and not hiring 20 lifeguards.
Other cities are canceling summer recreation programs or relying more on volunteers to help with upkeep.
The culprits: the state’s $4.6 billion budget deficit — and the resulting cuts in local government aid — along with sinking property tax revenue caused by a lack of new construction and declining property values.
“Some things just might not get done,” said Monty Headley, administrator of Benton County, which is hiring half as many seasonal park workers as last year. “We want folks to have the best experience possible when they come to the parks and not find a garbage can full of dirty garbage … But I think it’s reasonable that people will notice a difference.”

- Campylobacter and Salmonella are the leading causes of bacterial enteric infections transmitted commonly by food. Reported incidence of enteric infections was lower during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) compared with previous years.
- During 2022, FoodNet identified higher incidences of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Yersinia, Vibrio, and Cyclospora infections compared with 2016–2018. Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Listeria incidences did not change.
- Progress in reducing enteric infection incidence was not observed during 2022, as influences of the COVID-19 pandemic subsided.
- Collaboration among food growers, processors, retail stores, restaurants, and regulators is needed to reduce pathogen contamination during poultry slaughter and to prevent contamination of leafy greens.
Each year, infections from major foodborne pathogens are responsible for an estimated 9.4 million illnesses, 56,000 hospitalizations, and 1,350 deaths in the United States. (All foodborne illnesses account for over 40 million illnesses, 125, 000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths).
During 2022, annual incidences of illnesses caused by the pathogens Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Listeria were similar to average annual incidences during 2016–2018; however, incidences of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Yersinia, Vibrio, and Cyclospora illnesses were higher.
This report highlights lack of progress in reducing enteric infection incidence. The incidence of Salmonella infections during 2022 was above the Healthy People 2030 target. Also during 2022, the incidence of the most common domestically acquired infections, those caused by Campylobacter (17.4 per 100,000 population), was above the Healthy People 2030 target of 10.9. Poultry meat has been the most commonly identified source of Campylobacter infections in many countries for many years and is also estimated to be the most common U.S. source of Salmonella infections.
Further efforts to reduce contamination during poultry slaughter and processing are needed to reduce the incidence of Campylobacter, Salmonella, and other foodborne pathogens. In 2021, FSIS published new guidelines for poultry slaughter and processing establishments to control Campylobacter in raw poultry. Recommendations aim to reduce the incidence of pathogen colonization in birds (e.g., poultry vaccination and use of prebiotics and probiotics) and minimize contamination of poultry water, feed, and bedding. In 2022, FSIS proposed a new regulatory framework to control Salmonella in poultry products. In 2023, FSIS released a proposed notice of determination to declare Salmonella an adulterant in not-ready-to-eat breaded and stuffed chicken products. Reducing leafy green contamination by improving agricultural water safety, as promoted by FDA and the Food Safety Modernization Act, could also reduce Salmonella, STEC, Listeria, and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses.

The Turkish president on Friday stressed the importance of NATO for the security of Europe amid Russia’s war on Ukraine.
"NATO is the cornerstone of European security. We have seen this very clearly. Turkiye is an indispensable ally for ensuring regional security," Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters during his return flight from Brussels where he attended an extraordinary NATO summit on Thursday.
“Turkiye will continue to play an important role in shaping NATO's future through these summits,” said Erdogan.
Highlighting Turkiye’s mediation efforts, he said: “Turkiye made great efforts from the beginning to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.”
Underlining that the NATO summit was “fruitful and successful” in every respect, the president said Turkiye welcomed NATO leaders' decision to extend the mandate of alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg for another year because of Russia's war on Ukraine.
An extraordinary meeting of NATO heads of state and government was held on Thursday in Brussels to discuss the alliance’s response to Russia's war on Ukraine.
NATO's long-term stance in Eastern Europe was evaluated at the meeting as well as a response to Russia's war on Ukraine, which entered its second month on Thursday.
On the French president's “NATO is brain dead” comments, Erdogan said: “That was an unfortunate statement. President [Emanuel] Macron is one of the most active leaders in NATO.”
He said he will meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, and may hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin this weekend or early next week to assess the results of Thursday’s NATO summit.
“Amid war, many big companies are leaving Russia, and Turkiye's doors are wide open,” said Erdogan.
Dispelling concerns over food shortages due to the war, he said: "We’re taking all kinds of measures for food security. There will be no problems with food access during the holy month of Ramadan."
Russia began its war on Feb. 24. It has been met with international outrage, with the EU, US, and UK, among others, implementing tough financial sanctions on Moscow.
At least 1,035 civilians have been killed in Ukraine and 1,650 injured, according to UN estimates, while cautioning that the true figure is likely far higher.
More than 3.6 million Ukrainians have also fled to neighboring countries, with millions more displaced inside the country, according to the UN refugee agency.

SpaceX launched four astronauts to the International Space Station on Sunday on the first full-fledged taxi flight for NASA by a private company. This mission with four astronauts has marked the beginning of the space agency’s first full-fledged mission of sending a crew into orbit on a privately-owned spacecraft.
The Falcon rocket thundered into the night from Kennedy Space Center with three Americans and one Japanese, the second crew to be launched by SpaceX. The Dragon capsule on top — named Resilience by its crew in light of this year’s many challenges, most notably covid-19 — reached orbit nine minutes later. It is due to reach the space station late Monday and remain there until spring.
SpaceX’s newly designed Crew Dragon capsule, which the crew has dubbed Resilience, lifted off atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 7:27pm eastern time (00:27 GMT on Monday) from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

In the future, instead of relying on government-operated spacecraft, NASA astronauts and anyone else with enough money will be able to buy a ticket on a commercial rocket. With COVID-19 still surging, NASA continued the safety precautions put in place for SpaceX’s crew launch in May. The astronauts went into quarantine with their families in October. All launch personnel wore masks, and the number of guests at Kennedy was limited. Even the two astronauts on the first SpaceX crew flight stayed behind at Johnson Space Center in Houston.

An air leak caused an unexpected drop in capsule pressure less than two hours before launch, NASA officials said. But technicians said they conducted a successful leak check, and the scheduled launch was still on.
The 27-hour ride to the space station, an orbiting laboratory some 250 miles (400 km) above Earth, was originally scheduled to begin on Saturday. But the launch was postponed for a day due to forecasts of gusty winds – remnants of Tropical Storm Eta – that would have made a return landing for the Falcon 9’s reusable booster stage difficult, NASA officials said.

The astronauts donned their custom white flight suits and arrived at the Kennedy Space Center launch pad on schedule at 4:30 p.m. in three white Tesla SUVs, flanked by NASA and SpaceX personnel.
SpaceX mission operator Jay Aranha, speaking from the company’s Hawthorne, California headquarters, told the crew to “have an amazing trip, and know that we are all for one.”
Mission commander Mike Hopkins responded, saying “to all the people at NASA and SpaceX, by working together through these difficult times, you’ve inspired the nation the world.”
United States President-elect Joe Biden congratulated NASA and SpaceX on the launch. “It’s a testament to the power of science and what we can accomplish by harnessing our innovation, ingenuity, and determination,” he tweeted. “I join all Americans and the people of Japan in wishing the astronauts Godspeed on their journey.”

NASA contracted SpaceX and Boeing in 2014 to develop competing space capsules aimed at replacing its shuttle program and weaning the United States from dependence on Russian rockets to send astronauts to space.

Candidates make pitch for November
Forum takes place at Burlington Elementary
BURLINGTON — Those seeking local and regional offices made their case in person to voters at the Meet the Candidates forum at Burlington Elementary on Thursday.
The event, hosted by the Concerned Citizens of Burlington, has taken place for years and a session is hosted for both the primary and general election.
The first race was for the two seats on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
4th Circuit Court of Appeals
Of the four candidates on the ballot, the only one in attendance was incumbent Marie Hoover, the presiding judge of the court.
Hoover, a Democrat and Waverly High graduate, was first elected in 2012.
She explained her duties in the position, which include acting as a liaison to the Ohio Supreme Court and reviewing lower court rulings.
She said she is committed to building public confidence in the justice system and seeks to be as accessible as possible to her constituents.
She said the court is in a “state of flux,” with one member moving on and her seat up for election.
“It’s important that I know how the appellate system works,” she said. “If I remained on the court, it would help.”
Republican Jason Smith, who will face Hoover, sent a representative to read a statement on his behalf.
Smith’s statement said that he “did not like what was going on at the national level” and that he “feels individual rights are being stripped away.” Smith, an Ironton High graduate, said he feels Lawrence County is “being left out of the conversation”” and hopes to change that.
Circleville attorney Mike Hess sent a prepared statement outlining his experience, including an 18-year legal career, which includes acting as a criminal investigator and village attorney.
Hess will face Democrat Valerie Gerlach, a Portsmouth attorney.
Lawrence County Common Pleas Court
Democrat Donald Capper, who currently serves as Lawrence County Municipal Judge, said he has run for office six times since taking the position in 1990 and has only been opposed once.
“It’s time for me to move up to the next level,” he said of his campaign for the seat being vacated by the retiring Charles Cooper. “I have the experience and the knowledge and I believe I am the best candidate.”
On the issue of drugs, Capper pointed out that he was the first judge in the area to send people to treatment, rather than to jail.
“I got criticism for that,” he said. “But people with addiction issues, if you send them to jail – guess what? They’re going to come out with addiction issues.”
Capper also noted that his Republican opponent, Christen Finley, was not present for the event and said this has been the case at similar forums in the campaign.
Finley was represented by Natalie Addams, who read a letter on her behalf, stating she had a prior obligation.
Finley’s text said she had been a student at Burlington, “one of many firsts in her life,” and said the county now had the opportunity to elect its first female judge.
Finley said she wanted to “apply the law, as written, fairly an impartially” and said she wanted to tackle the addiction issue and overcrowding at the county jail.
Lawrence County Commission
Republican incumbent Freddie Hayes Jr. pointed out that it was his ninth visit to the Burlington forum.
He said he has served on the commission for the past seven years as “a way to give back to the community.”
“I don’t do it for the pay, I do it for the people,” he said. “I work very hard at this and this is my main job.”
Hayes said he is proud to be part of the current commission, which he called a “great team” and cited his working relationship with Democrat DeAnna
Holiday, with whom he traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent the county at the White House.
Describing himself as “very conservative” and a businessman, Hayes pointed to the $1 million in funds he worked to secure to build a new senior center at the Lawrence County fairgrounds, as well as securing the current temporary location for the Sybene-Chesapeake Senior Center, as examples of promises kept from his run.
Facing him is Democrat Robert McCollister, a former coach and teacher from Rock Hill Schools.
He said his run for commission is the culmination of a life of public service and mentoring young people.
“I believe the young people of this county are every bit as smart and talented as anyone in the country,” he said, and pledged to work to strengthen education.
McCollister said he wants to “build an economy that lifts all boats” and hopes that the county can invest in the renewable energy business, which he said will be a major economic force in coming years.
“I want us to catch that wave,” he said of making an early commitment, “and not get washed over by it.”
Lawrence County Auditor
Democrat Jason Tolliver said he is qualified for the position he is seeking, citing his record as a businessman.
“I’ve worked with multiple unions in three surrounding states and kept multi-million dollar budgets,” he said, stating it had given him an education in finance.
He described himself as a problem solver in the industry.
“If you want someone to work for seniors, keep property taxes low and fight on issues like the jail, I’d appreciate your vote,” he said.
Republican incumbent Jason Stephens said the purpose of the auditor’s office is “to give people information to make decisions.”
Stephens said, during his time in office, he has worked to make records available and inform the public.
He pointed to improvements in the office’s website, which includes aerial photos and tax maps.
“It’s a great tool, which is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” he said.
He pledged to continue his efforts.
“I will work to keep finding ways to make government more effective,” he said.
State rep. —93rd District
Incumbent Republican Ryan Smith, who currently serves as speaker of the Ohio House, was not present, due to a meeting, but sent an aide in his place.
The aide touted Smith’s efforts to bring broadband to rural Ohio and said that Smith’s leadership position would ensure Lawrence County has a say in the state capitol.
“Your voice is heard,” he said.
Facing Smith is Samantha Thomas-Bush, an attorney from Proctorville.
“I have a different vision from what is taking place now,” she said of her reason for running.
She said she wants to focus on job creation through small businesses.
“They are the lifeblood of our community,” she said. “We also need to keep living wage jobs and bring back union jobs.”
She said she wants to concentrate on the addiction epidemic.
“We need to address it on a state level,” she said of prevention efforts. “We need to get information into the schools and talk to kids. That’s the missing gap here. We need to connect those dots.”
She said she also wants to fight efforts to privatize education.
“This takes away funds from public schools,” she said. “It takes away classes that enrich children, things like STEM classes and it takes away teaching jobs.”
State Senate – 17th district
Democrat Scott Dailey, a union pipefitter from Portsmouth, outlined his vision for office, which he said centers on wellness, education, career and retirement issues.
On wellness, he said that for every 10 people without health care in Ohio, four work a full-time job.
“They struggle paycheck to paycheck and are one medical problem away from bankruptcy,” Dailey said.
He said he wants to prepare Ohioans for the job field.
“Quit saying we don’t have workers,” he said.
“We have plenty of workers, but they need the right education.”
Dailey also called for a raise in the minimum wage, which he said has not gone up proportionate to inflation.
He said he would work with those in the legislature who are seeking to raise the state minimum wage to $12 an hour over the next two years and schedule additional increases after that.
He said he would also seek to preserve pensions and Social Security.
“I care and you matter,” he said in requesting support.
Incumbent Republican Sen. Bob Petersen said his reason for serving in the legislature goes back to “a defining moment.”
While in office as a Fayette county commissioner, he said he was approached by Honda and that his county was one of three possible sites for a new plant.
He said he was told that while Ohio had the “best site,” the company opted to go to Indiana, due to less taxes and regulations.
“I then decided to run and focus on bringing back jobs to Ohio,” he said.
Petersen said the state has made progress over his time in office and said 540,000 jobs have been created, taxes have been lowered and spending has been increased for things like schools and care for the elderly.
Petersen said he had a record of working with the other party and that his bills have had bipartisan sponsorship from Democrats.
He said he hopes to continue on the job and work more on job growth, workforce development, curbing the drug epidemic and education reform.
State rep. —90th district
While not on the ballot in the Burlington area, the forum had a late arrival from Democrat Adrienne Buckler, a Scioto County attorney, who is running for the legislative district that covers part of Ironton. She said she was in the area doing a broadcast interview.
“I hope you don’t mind me crashing your party,” Buckler said.
She said she wanted to make a difference.
“I’m 28 and it’s not taken me 50 years to realize I want to make a change in my country,” she said.
Buckler will face Republican Brian Baldridge, an Adams County Commissioner, farmer and firefighter, for the seat being vacated by Republican Terry Johnson.
As 90th district candidates had not actually been sent invitations to the event, Johnson was not present.

IRAQ: COMMITTEE ON ENFORCED DISAPPEARENCES UNDERLINES IRAQ’S OBLIGATION TO SEARCH AND LOCATE MOUNIR AL JABOURI, DISAPPEARED SINCE 2014
On 14 November 2017, Alkarama submitted to the Committee on Enforced Disappearances an Urgent appeal regarding the case of Mounir Al Jabouri. He was arrested on 14 April 2014, along with two of his cousins, by members of the 17th Division of the Iraqi Army. All the efforts of Al Jabouri’s family to locate him over the years remain in vain.
Months after the arrest, Mr Al Jabouri’s relatives were informed by an official of the Ministry of Human Rights that Mr Al Jabouri had been released from one of the 17th Division detention facilities on 1 July 2014. However, they received conflicting information through another contact, who informed them that he had actually been handed over to the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq militia, which is part of the Popular Mobilisation Units, and was detained in Hillah.
Following the Urgent appeal, the Committee made several requests to Iraq’s authorities to take all necessary actions to locate Mr Al Jabouri. However, in its replies, the government offered no update of the situation or any further information. On the contrary, in its most recent reply, the State party tried to question the credibility of the request considering it as “false”.
On 11 August 2020 Alkarama was informed that a new note was sent on the same day to Iraq, in which once more the Committee regrets that the State Party did not provide any information as to the current location of Al Jabouri, highlighting the State’s obligation under the Convention “to investigate the alleged enforced disappearance promptly and impartially”, “to take the measures to prevent and sanction acts that hinder the conduct of an investigation” and “to inform the Committee, within a specified period of time, of measures taken […] to locate and protect the person concerned”. Iraq has until 11 November 2020 to provide the requested information.
Alkarama thus urges the Iraq authorities to implement the Committee’s reiterated recommendations, taking all necessary actions to locate Mr Al Jabouri most notably by conducting a thorough and credible investigation of his disappearance.


Iran can install nuclear warheads on long-range missiles: Iranian and Israeli experts
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 24 / Trend D. Khatinoglu /
After the IAEA board of governors approved the next resolution on the Iranian nuclear program on September 26, Tehran announced about creation of another 10 new centers for uranium enrichment, as well as testing Sadzhil ballistic missile (Sejil). All this has caused serious concern of the West.
Iran has tested missiles 'Prophet Akram II' six months before the meeting of the permanent members of the UN Security Council.
The West is sure of the military orientation of the Iranian nuclear program, by linking it with the production of ballistic missiles in this country. Iran denies all accusations.
Ex-director of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission Uzi Eilama said not only the West, but the intelligence services of many other countries are sure that Iran is striving to achieve success in the production of nuclear weapons.
Eilam does not exclude the possibility for Iran to produce not only missiles, but nuclear bombs, similar to those used by the United States while bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first practice of missiles tests was conducted by Tehran during the war with Iraq in 1980-1988. That time Iran bombed Iraqi cities within 50 days by 20 short-range missiles, purchased in Libya. After the war, Tehran launched production of Shahab-1, Shahab-2 missiles by buying some details from China, Russia and North Korea. In 2003, Iran has started its production in industrial scale after it conducted successful tests of Shahab-3 with range of 1,200 kilometers in 2000.
In May 2009, the country first tested a rocket Sadzhil (Sejil), acting on solid fuel and mobile platform. As opposed to "Shahab", this missile is on the mobile platform. Therefore, it is difficult to destroy it before the shot. Moreover, it is always ready for combat (10 minutes are required to load the liquid fuel in Shahab missile). The second tests of Sadzhil-2 were held last week.
Moreover, Sadzhil differs from the Shahab-3 by its two stages.
Besides explosives, Iranian missile warheads can also contain Non-conventional materials, including a nuclear warhead, Iranian professor at the University of Glasgow Reza Taghizadeh told Trend .
If Iran manages to install a nuclear warhead on missiles, the international security will face a serious threat. "At present, Iran has increased the number of its missiles and tries to bring them to a range of up to 2,000-3,000 kilometers," Senior Research Fellow at the Israeli Institute for national security studies Eilam said via e-mail.
Taghizadeh said Iran tests missiles in its territory. "The distance between the most distant borders of Iran is 2,200 kilometers. Therefore, it is impossible to say exactly that Iran is testing missiles aimed at a distance of over 2,000 kilometers," Taghizadeh told Trend over phone.
Israeli expert Eilam is sure that the missile Sadzhil-2 has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. It was tested twice. "This is another action of the Iranian authorities aimed at the production of missiles with greater range," he said.
The expert does not believe that Iran is using long-range missiles only for ordinary explosives.
Israeli experts Eylam sure that the missile Sadzhil-2, twice has been tested, has a mission radius of more than 2000 km. "This is another step of the Iranian authorities aimed at the production of missiles with greater range," - he said.
Judge does not believe that Iran is using long-range missiles only for common explosives.
However, both experts believe in Iran's ability to install nuclear warheads on missiles. Eilam said it is unknown how the official Tehran will reach it and what the objectives of the country are. Israeli expert also added that Iran's military plans are kept in secret and, despite suspicions, nobody can say when and how the country will create a nuclear bomb.

Stocks in Asia Pacific were set to trade lower at the Thursday open following an overnight plunge stateside that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 700 points.
Futures pointed to a lower open for Japanese stocks. The Nikkei futures contract in Chicago was at 22,245 while its counterpart in Osaka was at 22,210. That compared against the Nikkei 225’s last close at 22,534.32.
Shares in Australia were also set to decline, with the SPI futures contract at 5,837, as compared to the S&P/ASX 200’s last close at 5,965.70.
Markets in China and Hong Kong are closed on Thursday for a holiday.
Investor reaction to overnight moves on Wall Street will be watched on Thursday. The Dow fell 710.16 points, or 2.7%, to close at 25,445.94. The S&P 500 finished its trading day 2.6% lower at 3,050.33 while the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.2% to close at 9,909.17. It was the worst day for the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq since June 11.
The moves stateside came following a surge in coronavirus cases in certain states, with Florida and California reporting a record number of new cases. More than 2.36 million coronavirus cases have been reported in the U.S. while at least 121,662 lives have been taken, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund slashed its economic forecasts again on Wednesday. The IMF now estimates a contraction of 4.9% in global gross domestic product in 2020, lower than the 3% fall it predicted in April.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has had a more negative impact on activity in the first half of 2020 than anticipated, and the recovery is projected to be more gradual than previously forecast,” the IMF said Wednesday in its World Economic Outlook update.
The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of its peers, was at 97.148 after rising from levels below 97 seen earlier.
The Japanese yen traded at 107.01 per dollar in a volatile trading week that has seen it at levels below 106.4 against the greenback to around 107.2. The Australian dollar changed hands at $0.6861 after slipping from levels above $0.69 seen yesterday.

Everyone who visits Rock Chalk Talk with regularity is familiar with Jesse Newell. He's been a KU beat reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World, the Topeka Capitol Journal, and now the Kansas City Star. The Associated Press Sports Editors named him Beat Reporter of the Year in 2014, and he happens to stop by RCT every now and then as well.
Newell was kind enough to chat with me as part of my "Sports Done Smart" series about his use of advanced stats in his writing, and how it came about. We also talked about the generally positive feedback he's received on it, and, of course, talked a lot about Kansas basketball as well. Our discussion specifically delves into Bill Self's adaptation to his roster, his use (or perhaps, lack thereof) of advanced stats in Self's game plans, and the perils of criticizing elements of the job done by someone who clearly knows more about what he's doing than we do.
It was a really informative conversation for me, and I hope you'll find it entertaining as well. As always, my cats do make an appearance on my couch in the background, which apparently is just going to become my "thing." I'm actively working on learning to turn these and RCT's other broadcasts into podcast form to make them easier to ingest, but this is another Youtube video. However, feel free to leave it on in the background and just listen, as the video doesn't necessarily add anything to the content. As always, enjoy!

Know Your Rights
by Doug Bonney
THE MYTHICAL RIGHT TO WORK
In this piece, I want to continue with the employment law mythbusting theme, and I specifically want to talk about the mythical "right to work." The short answer is that "right to work" is a misnomer made up by anti-union employer shills to mislead working people into the false perception that unions somehow are preventing them from exercising their God-given right to work. In fact, nothing in the United States constitution or American law generally gives citizens a right to work. Certainly, corporate bosses aren't interested in guaranteeing working people jobs, which would be the only kind of "right to work" that would be meaningful.
This topic is particularly timely in Missouri because a so-called "Right to Work" proposal is currently pending in the Missouri House as House Bill 877. And, in the Missouri Senate, Bill 610 would restrict public employee unions from collecting and spending member money for political purposes.
First, I'll give you some history. When Congress enacted the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, it permitted employers and unions to include a so-called "union security" provision in their collective bargaining agreements. Such provisions could originally require union membership as a condition of working for a unionized employer.
As the National Labor Relations Board and the federal courts wrestled with these union security issues, however, it became clear that "membership" didn't mean that workers had to join and participate in unions against their will. In a long series of cases, the Supreme Court held that "membership" means only financial support for the union's basic core functions of collective bargaining and contract enforcement, which are things that benefit everyone in the unionized work place.
In 1947, the Republican Congress enacted the Taft-Hartley Amendments to the National Labor Relations Act. One of those amendments provided that states could enact laws prohibiting unions from enforcing union security agreements in those states. The federal labor law says nothing about any "right to work."
Since 1947, twenty-two states have adopted state constitutional provisions or other laws prohibiting unions from enforcing union security provisions. In practice, these so-called "right to work" laws simply mean that employees who work in a unionized workplace can lawfully refuse to pay their fair share of the costs unions incur in negotiating and enforcing collective bargaining agreements. In other words, it allows some employees to take the benefits of unionizationâ€"like higher wages and better health insuranceâ€"without having to pay for those perks. When Ronald Reagan campaigned for President, he claimed that people on welfare were freeloaders. Well, that is exactly what so-called "right to work" laws allow: Employees to free load on the gains they receive from working in a unionized workplace.
Contrary to the claims of anti-union groups, unionization does not require people to join unions as internal members, nor does unionization prevent non-members from getting and keeping jobs in unionized workplaces. In fact, a union that caused an employee to be fired or not hired because that employee was not an internal member would commit an unfair labor practice. So-called "right to work" laws do not add to those protections from discrimination. They simply let people reap the benefits of unionization without paying a fair share of the costs.
Moreover, contrary to anti-union groups, "right to work" laws do not guarantee or even help maintain jobs. North Carolina has a so-called "right to work" and is about the same size as Missouri. North Carolina's percentage of unionized workers is also considerably lower than the percentage of unionized workers in Missouri. Nonetheless, between January 2001 and November 2004, North Carolina lost nearly 170,000 manufacturing jobs while Missouriâ€"which is not a so-called "right to work" stateâ€"lost only about 38,000 jobs during the same period of time. The fact that a state has fewer unionized workers and has a law allowing people to freeload on the backs of unions has no effect on maintaining manufacturing jobs.
But "right to work" laws do make it harder for unions to accomplish their objectivesâ€"including making sure good manufacturing jobs stay put and that unionized employees have fair wages and good employee benefits. Wages and benefits are worse in "right to work" states. For instance, Missouri's average annual wage is over $2000 more than the average wage in "right to work" states. And a significantly higher percentage of people have health insurance in Missouri than in "right to work" states.
The real idea behind "right to work" laws is to make employees less expensive for corporations in terms of wages and benefits. Right to work laws do that by starving unions of the dues paying members they need to keep employers fair and honest. "Right to work" laws have nothing to do with guaranteeing Americans a job and everything to do with the corporate bottom line. Starving workers make corporate cats fat.


CHAPTER 8: Open-air Sculptures and Public Art
Published:04 Jan 2021
Environmental conditions play an important role in the durability and aesthetic appearance of artworks, especially if they are located outdoors. Fortunately for humanity, our ancestors selected the most appropriate materials to build their palaces, monuments and sculptures and thanks to their knowledge we can now contemplate the glory of past empires and artistic movements. Unfortunately, air pollution and climate change endanger our cultural heritage owing to the chemical reactions that produce contaminants over the surface of stone and metallic artworks. However, even in the most favourable conditions, moisture, airborne marine particles, wind, etc., can damage, in a natural way, our cultural heritage. For these reasons, it is important to identify and understand all these weathering processes so as to be able to design conservation and restoration strategies to protect and preserve our cultural heritage for future generations.

To measure both power consumption and heat, we stress the video card and record the peak values for heat and wattage. We use default values on the cards and stress test them using 3DMark Time Spy in 20 loops to simulate gaming loads and this is where we also base our power draw. Our tool allows us to save a log of actual power draw and other metrics for easier data collection and averaging. We took 15 minutes of idle and load readings and averaged them which is what we present in the charts.
This review also marks the debut of our Powenetics power testing kit from Cybenetics. This tool allows us to capture power per component in real time including both the GPU, CPU and any SATA device we plug in. We’ll do a formal introduction soon. For now, this is pretty much a warm-up as we’re still getting the workflow ready but the initial GPU database is already being built and we hope to share this with everyone soon. For now, let’s stick with the graphs first.

Issue Alert - 11-04-01
Jul 12, 2011
The ability of Medicaid applicants and recipients to submit medical evidence in hearings about eligibility for disability-based Medicaid has been severely restricted under new state policies.
People who are denied or terminated from Medicaid based on a Medical Review Team decision issued on or after March 21, 2011.
For More Information:
Center for Civil Justice 320 S. Washington, 2nd Floor Saginaw, MI 48607 (989) 755-3120, (800)724-7441 Fax: (989) 755-3558 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org
Michigan Poverty Law Program 611 Church Street, Suite 4A Ann Arbor, MI 48104-3000 (734) 998-6100 (734) 998-9125 Fax
|Summary Description of Disability-Based Medicaid Eligibility Process
The Medicaid program is made up of dozens of Medicaid
eligibility categories (sometimes referred to as different “types” of
Medicaid). Each category has its own
rules or criteria for who qualifies, including both financial criteria (such
as income or asset requirements) and non-financial criteria. Many Medicaid eligibility categories
require that a person be disabled as one of the non-financial criteria. See generally BEM 105.
“Disability” or “disabled” can mean different things for
different programs or laws.
In Michigan, people who have been determined disabled by the
Social Security Administration (SSA) are also considered disabled for
purposes of Medicaid eligibility. On
the other hand, if SSA reaches a final decision (after all appeals have been
exhausted) that a person is not disabled, that decision will be accepted by
Michigan Medicaid unless the person has a new or worsened condition. See generally BEM 260 and BAM 815.
However, it may take months or years to establish disability
through the SSA process. Therefore,
Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) will separately determine whether
a person is “disabled” if the person has not yet received a binding determination
from SSA. The procedure for DHS
disability determinations involves the collection of medical and other
information from the client and other sources (such as medical providers),
which is reviewed by the DHS Medical Review Team (MRT). The MRT makes the decision for DHS on
whether the client meets the disability criteria for Medicaid. See generally BEM 260 and BAM 815.
In some cases, after initially determining disability, the MRT also
reviews a recipient’s disability periodically to determine whether they
continue to be eligible for disability-based Medicaid. Id.
When DHS denies or terminates Medicaid eligibility based on a
MRT decision that the person is “not disabled”, DHS issues a written notice
of the denial or termination action, the reasons for the action, and the
client’s hearing rights in connection with the action. See generally BAM 220 p. 1-2 and BAM 600 p.
When a claimant requests a hearing, he or she has the right to
submit evidence and present arguments about why DHS’s decision was wrong. See 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(3), MCLA 400.9
and .37, MCLA 24.272(3), and implementing regulations and rules. Clients have the right “[t]o present a
case… bring witnesses…establish all pertinent facts and
circumstances…[and] refute any
testimony or evidence”. Mich. Admin. Code R. 400.912; see also 42
In addition to evidence submitted by the applicant or recipient,
Law Judge hearing the case will obtain another medical assessment of the
person’s condition if he or she considers such assessment necessary. Mich. Admin. Code R. 400.910.
Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAHR), which conducts hearings for DHS, has
issued revised “Instructions to DHS ALEs within MAHS” with “Guidance on
handling cases in which Medical Assistance Based on Disability and/or State
Disability Assistance (MA-P/SDA) is at issue”.
instructions, MAHS clarifies that applicants and recipients are permitted to
introduce certain medical evidence of their disability at the hearing. However, Administrative Law Judges (ALJs)
are not permitted to order additional medical tests or examinations unless
they “relate to the impairment/disability alleged on the application for
disability benefits or in the medical documentation submitted to the
Department prior to the final eligibility determination” or to impairments
that “relate to or have any effect on” the impairments alleged on the
application or shown in the medical records reviewed by MRT.
appears a client who has an undisclosed cognitive impairment and applies for
Medicaid based on severe, uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension could not
submit evidence of the cognitive impairment at the hearing unless it was
written up in the medical records reviewed by MRT or can be recognized as
“related to or having an effect on the diabetes and hypertension” (for
example, resulting in compromised ability to adhere to a medication and diet
regime) However, it appears that
client could submit new evidence of heart disease related to the diabetes or
some cases the new policy denies the claimant the right to an evidentiary
hearing and transforms the hearing into a review on the record rather than a
de novo hearing.
refusing to allow claimants to introduce some evidence of disability, the
policy denies them their right to a full evidentiary hearing under state and
federal law, as summarized in the Background, above.
addition, the new policy will deny prompt Medicaid coverage to individuals
who are eligible for Medicaid but are barred from establishing their
eligibility at a hearing, in violation of federal law. 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(8). It also may result in denial of retroactive
coverage to eligible individuals, in violation of 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(34). Individuals who are eligible for Medicaid
but are denied by MRT based on insufficient medical documentation will be
forced to re-apply for Medicaid in order for DHS to consider additional
medical documentation. This inevitably
will result in delays in accessing Medicaid and loss of Medicaid for some or
all months of retroactive eligibility.
the new policy will violate the maintenance of eligibility requirements of
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the Affordable Care Act
(ACA), which prohibit the state from imposing new standards, methodologies, or
procedures for determining eligibility for Medicaid that are more restrictive
than the standards, methodologies, or procedures that were in effect on July
1, 2008 (for ARRA) and March 23, 2010 (for the Affordable Care Act). See section
1501 of ARRA (Pub. L. 111-15) and 42 U.S.C. 1396a(gg)(1). The new procedures are
more restrictive because some applicants will be denied eligibility under
these procedures who would have been determined eligible under the old
What Should Advocates Do?
Educate clients about the importance of reporting all physical and
mental health conditions or impairments when they apply for Medicaid and when
they fill out forms as part of the medical evaluation process.
Educate clients about the importance of gathering and submitting
medical reports and results to DHS when they are applying for disability-based
Assist clients with informing DHS about their impairments, and
gathering and submitting medical evidence to DHS during the initial application
Continue to assist clients in pursuing hearings to contest
Medicaid eligibility decisions involving MRT decisions.
5. Contact CCJ and/or MPLP(contact info is at the top of this alert) when you have cases involving these recent MRT decisions.
What Should Clients Do?
1. If you have medical or problems that keep you from working full
time (disabilities), report all physical and mental health conditions or
impairments when you apply for Medicaid and when you fill out forms as part of
the medical evaluation process. Put it
in writing on the application or other forms.
Make sure your doctors and other medical providers submit all
information about your condition to DHS.
Get legal help as soon as possible when you are applying for
Medicaid and have serious medical problems that prevent you from working.
4. Get legal help immediately if you disagree with a decision that you do not qualify for medicaid because you are not disabled.
Most legal aid and legal services offices handle these types of cases, and they do not charge a fee.
You can locate various sources of legal and related services, including the free legal aid office that serves your county, at MichiganLegalAid.org.
You can also look in the yellow pages under "attorneys" or call the toll-free lawyer referral number, (800) 968-0738.
