Reportedly, Japan’s McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) fast food restaurants have raised prices on about 60% of its menu amid rising input costs and exchange-rate fluctuations. It marks the company’s second set of price increases this year as Japan deals with inflationary pressures and a drop in the yen to a 24-year-low, making imported ingredients more expensive.
McDonald’s Holding Company Japan Ltd informed that the cost of the signature Big Mac hamburger will increase to 410 yen ($2.85) from 390 yen, reflecting increases of 10 to 30 yen on many items. Also, its cheeseburgers will cost 180 yen each from 140 at the beginning of the year.
According to a survey by Tokyo Shoko Research issued this month, increasing production costs and the yen’s drop have spurred price increases by 60% of major Japanese restaurants.
McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) is the leading global foodservice retailer with nearly 37,000 locations in over 100 countries. The Corporation operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the US and globally, with over 90% of its restaurants owned and operated by local, independent businessmen and women.

Today, the global fertility market is a multi-million dollar market that is predicted to hit around US$47.9 billion by 2030, yet remains severely underserved with experts’ estimates suggesting that more than 90% of couples in need of infertility treatment are going without care.
INVO Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: INVO), a commercial-stage fertility company, is dedicated to expanding the assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) marketplace by making fertility care accessible and inclusive to people around the world. Their flagship product is INVOcell®, a revolutionary medical device (pictured below) that allows fertilization and early embryo development to take place in vivo within the woman’s body. This treatment solution is the world’s first intravaginal culture technique for the incubation of oocytes and sperm during fertilization and early embryo development. This technique, designated as “IVC”, provides patients a more natural, intimate, and more affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. INVO believes that the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination (“IUI”). Their commercialization strategy is currently focused on the opening of dedicated “INVO Centers” offering the INVOcell® and IVC procedure (with three centers in North America now operational), continuing to distribute and sell their technology solution into existing fertility clinics, & is now actively seeking to acquire accretive acquisitions of established fertility clinics in the U.S.
INVO ACCRETIVE ACQUISITION STRATEGY INITIATED
INVO has announced its intention to opportunistically pursue acquisitions of established fertility clinics in the U.S. (Approx. +460 clinics operate in the U.S.) to complement its existing strategy of opening new INVO Centers and to accelerate growth. Since regaining control of INVOcell’s distribution in the U.S. earlier in 2022, INVO has engaged with over one hundred domestic IVF clinics. These interactions have reportedly yielded renewed interest in the adoption of INVOcell and the IVC procedure in existing clinics, led to new INVO Center partnership discussions and generated potential acquisition opportunities. INVO reported this week that a growing number of like-minded physicians that share INVO’s mission to democratize fertility care are now in discussions with the Company to join forces in expanding access to treatment.
INVO believes that acquisitions represent a logical extension of the Company’s strategy, as INVO looks to integrate profitable businesses run by established and successful physicians. Furthermore, acquisitions would allow INVO the opportunity to fully implement INVOcell and the IVC procedure within an acquired IVF center, which, in turn, would help to support the Company’s distribution business.
In the pursuit of an acquisition strategy, INVO is entertaining potential acquisitions and recently signed a non-binding letter for one specific opportunity. INVO and the key principals are working to consummate the acquisition and are developing a plan to incorporate INVOcell and the IVC procedure into the clinic’s existing operations with a goal of further growing revenue and earnings. Such implementation is not expected to require significant investment since IVC procedures can be added without additional equipment, space and/or human resources.
***INVO also has executed a non-binding letter of intent with a lender to provide non-dilutive funding payable to close the transaction.
“During the last few months, we have focused on driving improved operational performance at our existing INVO Centers and advancing the opening of new locations, while simultaneously exploring acquisition opportunities that would help add immediate and significant scale to our overall operations and accelerate our path to profitability.
In our existing clinics, we continue to see growing volume in patient inquiries and consultations, a leading indicator of future IVC cycles. Based on current cycle expectations, we are anticipating third quarter clinic revenue to increase significantly compared to our second quarter results.
We are actively working within our U.S. distribution business and with international partners to enhance end-market awareness and to obtain necessary regulatory approval in key markets, such as China.
On the acquisition front, we are excited by the prospect of bringing one or more established and profitable fertility centers into our operations. The practitioners we are in discussion with share our vision of leveraging the INVOcell solution to expand access to fertility and agree with our position that IVF and IVC are complementary to one another.”

Although Acer has still not yet released the final details around its high-end Windows 10 for phones handset, the Liquid Jade Primo, another data point has emerged regarding Continuum support for the phone. SlimPort, from Analogix Semiconductor, will enable Continuum support via USB Type-C on the Liquid Jade Primo’s Display Dock.
We’ve received slightly uneven details about the Display Dock. After a quasi-announcement that the Liquid Jade Primo would ship with multiple peripherals, Acer later walked that back, and it seemed that the phone might ship with none. Then at CES, we saw a prototype of the Display Dock that will come with the phone, and an Analogix rep confirmed that the final version offers the same ports. (It also appears that the device will share the same “Display Dock” name as Microsoft's version.)
|Header Cell - Column 0||Acer Liquid Jade Primo Display Dock||Microsoft Display Dock||HP Desk Dock|
|Phone Connection||USB-C (Charging, data, DisplayPort)||USB-C (Charging, data, DisplayPort)||USB-C|
|Video||HDMI only||HDMI and DisplayPort||DisplayPort|
|Data||3x USB (Type A)||3x USB (Type A)||2x USB (Type A)|
|Power||AC adapter||USB-C charging port||AC adapter|
The Liquid Jade Primo smartphone itself will be equipped with the SlimPort ANX7816 and ANX7418 transmitter and controllers, and the Dock will have ANX7402 controllers and ANX7737 converters. These enable, among other features, DisplayPort out via an Alt Mode and Power Delivery, so that the smartphone can be charged while it’s connected to an external display (whether it’s connected to the Display Dock or directly to a USB Type-C-equipped monitor.)
The Acer gear joins the Microsoft Lumia 950 and its Display Dock, as well as HP’s Elite X3 smartphone and HP Desk Dock, as adopters of the smartphone-as-PC (enabled by Continuum) paradigm. Canonical has its own Ubuntu Core-powered version of the concept, which impressed us at Mobile World Congress.

Treprostinil — a vasodilator — was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The drug is commercially available as Tyvaso, Orenitram, and Remodulin.
A Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03464864) found that treprostinil can be safely delivered at varying doses using Technosphere, a novel inhalation device, MannKind, the device’s developer, announced.

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.
Margaret has had a long battle with Sjogren’s Syndrome and Lupus. Medications she has been on for management of the Lupus and the Lupus itself began their destruction on her lungs. Three years ago after another hospital stay due to pneumonia she began full-time oxygen. Doctors told her if she continued at this rate she would not have a very long, or high quality of life. This lead to the long process of seeing if she qualified as a lung transplant candidate. Last September (2017) she was placed on the transplant list for a double lung. November 19th, 2017 we had hoped they had a pair of lungs for Margaret. She was ready to go into the OR when they informed her the donor lungs were not suitable for transplant. Disappointed she returned home and waited. May 19th, 2018 at 2:30am she got the call again that they had another pair of lungs for her. Luckily, she had already been admitted to the hospital a few hours earlier for observation. She hadn’t been feeling well that week and had been short of breath. This call came at the perfect time. She was once again taken to the OR where they were able to successfully transplant the new set of lungs.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there, and especially to my own father. To show him just how much I appreciate him, as you already know, I decided to get my craft on and make him three, fairly simple projects. Like I stated in my last blog, I found them on Pinterest from a 100 gifts list that was compiled from many different blogs. I made a mustache mug, a vinyl record bowl, and a necktie eyeglasses case. I'll start with the necktie eyeglasses case, or as I like to call it...
Now you've gotta bear with me for this blog, because I seem to have lost my camera, so I've been using my phone for all of these pictures, which honestly sucks, BUT I promised to document and post all of the father's day crafts, and I was not going to break it. So here we go...
First I took a tie that I found at TJ Maxx for pretty cheap, and I cut it 17" from the point:
|Like my pretty floral bed sheets. :P|
|Liquid Stitch for "Seamless Sewing"|
I am not a great sewer (I feel like that's the wrong term... hmm...), so I probably should have used the Liquid Stitch, but I wasn't sure if it would hold all the folds once the project was done, since all of the layers became thicker and thicker as I went. So once I finished sewing over the fold, I then folded over the rest of the tie until the bottom reached the bottom of the long seam running down the back of the tie. Hmm... hopefully the next picture will help with that awful explanation:
I added the softer side to the top, so not to scratch the glasses/anything else that goes in, and after lining up where that would fold over, I added the rougher side to the bottom.
This was SUPER simple, and oh so rewarding. First you take a record that will not be missed (because it will not be playable once all is said and done, I must put this for people out there who are not very bright - like my sister who, YES, did as that question). I asked my dad for one of his that he doesn't mind me ruining and he gave me:
|Rod Stewart Foot Loose & Fancy Free|
Set them up like so. Wait for your oven to heat up, then place the items into your oven for about 8 to 10 min. You want the vinyl to get nice and soft so that it'll be easy to work with.
Now, because I suck I didn't take a picture of what the record looks like on the bowl after the 8 to 10 min. have passed, because the next step needs to happen almost immediately, so I was kind of in a rush. Whoops. So use your imagination and imagine the record looks a bit warped on top of the bowl, and then follow the next direction.
After the 8 to 10 min. are up, check the record (using an oven mit) to make sure it is flimsy enough to mold. If it is, take everything out (the bowl and cookie sheet are also hot, along with the record, so be careful). Here is where things get a bit tricky, and where I thank goodness Joshua was with me this day, or else I would've been in a bind while trying to do this alone. Take the flimsy record off the bowl, and have a friend flip the bowl, then put the record in the bowl so you can really get it to take shape and make cool ripples, like this:
Now we've got a cool new bowl!
THIS was my all time favorite father's day craft. I had so much fun with this, and I'm not even all that artistically talented.
To start I found a mug at Walmart for about $3. It is porcelain or ceramic, I'm not really sure to be quite honest. Anyway, I found the mug at Walmart, and I went online to find a mustache stencil (because I can't draw free hand to save my life) and found one I really liked and taped it to the mug:
I then traced this with a fine tip, black Sharpie marker/pen.
I then traced over this with a pebeo porcelain gel pen (which I found a Michael's).
After doing this, I opened up my pebeo porcelain gel (also found at Michael's) in the same exact color as the pen, and started to color in the mustache (which I had a super, awesome, fun time with!).
|This is just one coat. Keep going until you get it how you like it.|
|I only liked this one, and I'm still not sure if I do. And yet here it is.|
Now after you've scolded your boyfriend, and completed the painting to your liking read the directions on your bottle of gel stain. Mine said to let it air dry for 24 hours before baking at 300 degrees F for 35 min.
Done painting! Now you might see a slight different in size from the print-out to the painting. That is because I was slowly becoming a perfectionist during that time, so when I would accidentally paint outside my tracing, I would try and even it out on both sides. So instead of long and thin, we have short and thick. Oh well, I am still very proud if it for my first mug painting.
So, since I had to wait 24 hours until baking, that meant I had to hide it somewhere, and since my room is a disaster area, Joshua and I brought it to his house. After the 24 hours were up, and after we both got out of work and back to his house, we whipped out his toaster oven, set it to 300 degrees F, let it warm up a bit, and set the microwave timer for 35 min.
Now that my dad has received all of his wonderful new gifts, I am thrilled to say that he loves them! I had taken pictures of him with all three items, but my phone SUCKS and never saved the pictures. I would take new ones, but he's outside working on the house. He's repainting our shutters! The color is "Cherry Tart" by Behr. I'm pretty excited for the new change.
That's all for today!
Happy Father's Day!

In Andrew Bird’s Noble Beast, Part 1, I raised the question whether in “Noble Beast,”Andrew Bird was “presenting” the biblical anthropology of Blaise Pascal, or the evolutionary scientism of H.G. Wells, or if he was espousing something in-between these philosophies. I should probably begin by explaining what I mean by Andrew Bird “presenting” these views or something in-between. I obviously have no way of knowing of Andrew Bird’s relationship to these philosophies although I am suspicious that “Noble Beast” may be his modification of Pascal’s concept. But his direct knowledge of these views is not required inasmuch as all of us today are prone to thinking about human existence in relation to these two views. This is because these two “worldviews” dominate the thinking of Western Civilization today. Therefore we can knowingly or unknowingly be “presenting” one or the other of these views. A great song by Pierce Pettis demonstrates that our immersion in a culture can preclude much of our self-awareness.
So deep into that landscape, we did not realize
That we had been talking in accents all our lives
Just a vague sense of the world passing us by
Like those out of state tags rolling down I-59
(Pierce Pettis, Little River Canyon)
This is not to say that theoretically we could not have another worldview altogether, or be somewhere between them, or moving towards one or the other, etc, etc; but most of us tend toward conformity to one of the major views in our culture. I actually believe that Andrew Bird may be to some extent ruminating between these two dominant views of biblical anthropology and evolutionary scientism. (Of course there is always the simple possibility that he just has some interest in “science” and that it provides interesting content material for some cool sounding songs!) Whatever the case may be, I will consider, and seek to interpret in a series of blog posts, some of the “as presented” lyrics of Andrew Bird.
In the salsify mains of what was thought but unsaid
all the calcified arithmatists were doing the math
And it would take a calculated blow to the head
to light the eyes of all the harmless sociopaths
oh arm in arm we are the harmless sociopaths
oh, arm in arm with all the harmless sociopaths
calcium mines are buried deep in your chest
oh the calcium mines you buried deep in your chest.
you’re deep in a mine
a calcium mine
let’s get out of here
past the atmosphere
squint your eyes and no one dies or goes to jail
past the silver bridge
oh the silver bridge wearing nothing but a one-sie and a veil.
Written by Andrew Bird, 2009, Fat Possum Records
“Oh No” seems to be about the difficulties and possibilities of escaping from the dominant worldview because of internal and external restraints. “Calcium” is the most abundant mineral in the body, and becomes a symbol of life as struggle for liberation in the context of restriction and possibility.
We humans are a unity, “arm in arm,” yet ironically we are “harmless sociopaths” (a unity of conformist sociopaths!) because we are “calcified arithmatists doing the math” (scientism). To escape, “get out of here – past the atmosphere,” the dominant worldview requires a sort of feigned permission (“squint your eyes“) since leaving the Zeitgeist (dominant worldview) should warrant death or jail! The escape is symbolized by a “silver bridge” and to escape requires a stripping down from our acquired conformity to our more essential condition as newborns wearing “a one-sie and a veil.”
What is the possibility that we will thus escape? Seemingly quite slim as we really need a “calculated blow to the head…to light the eyes.” Is there no hope then? Yes, there is hope because we have “calcium mines buried deep in our chests” signifying that deep inside the heart is the source of life, where “what was thought but unsaid” resides. But the chorus of “your deep in a mine…” is ambivalent in regard to realizing the hope since we can remain frozen in calcification, or be freed because of calcium mine reserves deep within that seek manifestation.
This song is very interesting to me because it seems to be about the need to escape the current Zeitgeist that dehumanizes us as individuals. The main thing in our favor as individuals that provides a possibility of escape is to reject the “scientism” of the Zeitgeist and follow the intuition of the heart. This is near explicit Pascalian anthroploogy:
The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know…
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart, and it is in this last way that we know first principles; and reason, which has no part in it, tries in vain to impugn them. The sceptics, who have only this for their object, labour to no purpose.
Pascal’s Pensées (pp. 80-81). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition.
The song seems to end on the note of ambivalence with the repetitions of the title. “Oh no…”. This may signify our own silencing of the internal voice, or the external collective voice of our comrades that don’t like us “jumping ship.” In both instances, these could be considered as examples of the human psychology of “diversion” that is our individual and collective practice in response to our inner intuitions of the heart. “Diversion” was a major aspect in Pascal’s anthropology.
To summarize regarding this song in light of the worldviews of Pascal’s anthropology and Wells’ scientism, it seems as though Andrew Bird is here exhibiting that to escape the Zeitgeist of scientism, because of Pascal’s reasons of the heart, would be a good thing. But the song is also recognizing that this it is a radical and therefore difficult thing to do, because of own personal repression of our inner voice and the external pressure of the herd.
What is not clear though. is if the song is consciously presenting Pascal’s anthropology. But the recognition of the reality and struggle of “reasons of the heart” against “scientific reason” as a factor of the human psychology demonstrates that the song to some extent corroborates Pascal nonetheless.

This “Walking” Fish Has Scientists Stumped © National Geographic This footage has got scientists all over the world scratching their heads. Off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, Emeric Benhalassa stumbled across what appears to be a walking fish. Speaking to National Geographic, Benhalassa said that it was “bizarre and pretty. … I thought that this could please the internet.” Well, the internet is certainly interested… According to the publication, scientists think that the creature may be a venomous sting fish from the Minous genus of stonefishes. It could also be a painted stinger, a whitetail goblinfish, or a completely new species. The jury is still out.

Kafka Mirror Maker never pulls the data from source Kafka until restart
Source Kafka is down and mirror maker is configured to pull the data from source Kafka.
It was observed that Mirror Maker tried connecting to the source Kafka for multiple times and stopped (all the retries happened in less than a minute).
Six hours later, the Source Kafka was brought up.
But, mirror maker did not start pulling the data from source Kafka.
Post mirror maker restart, it started to pull the data from source Kafka.
Mirror Maker should have automatically connected to source Kafka after 6 hours and started pulling that data without any manual intervention.
How can we achieve this ?
Is there a configuration in mirror maker consumer properties that can fix this ?

According to Bridge Magazine, some teacher accountability advocates are upset at a proposal to give school districts more control over how teachers are evaluated. The issue, reports Bridge writer Ron French, is that legislation put forward by Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair, would not impose statewide criteria for districts to use when evaluating teachers.
However, it appears that what Bridge Magazine characterizes as "a single, powerful senator kill[ing] serious reform of teacher evaluation" amounts to Pavlov refusing to prescribe a list of particular “evaluation models” to local school districts.
The legislation proposed by Pavlov would require by 2018-19, broadly:
— Up to 40 percent of a teacher's total evaluation would be based on student academic growth: This would be split between academic growth as measured on state tests and academic growth as measured by the district. The split prescribed in the legislation would require at least 16 percent of a teacher's total evaluation to depend on state tests, and the remaining portion of a teacher's evaluation that depends on student growth (up to 24 percent) would depend on a measure chosen by the local school district.
— Another 60 percent of a teacher's evaluation would depend on a method chosen by the district. The evaluation method would have to be used consistently across a district's schools, with information about the tool posted on the district's website, including research backing its use and the qualifications of the person who created it, among other things.
In comparison, the legislation that French describes as a “tougher teacher evaluation bill” is very similar. Student academic growth would account for a significant portion (40 percent) of a teacher's evaluation: As with the Pavlov legislation, this portion is split between academic growth as measured by state assessments and academic growth as determined by the district. An earlier version of this proposal in 2014 had this split at 50-50, but would also have allowed districts to opt out of using state test data entirely, and instead use local information to measure teachers.
The key difference between Pavlov's legislation and earlier teacher evaluation legislation is that Pavlov's bill does not specify which teacher evaluation models local school districts must use. The earlier bill did.
The rejected legislation spelled out specific evaluation tools a district could use, including the "Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching," the "R. Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model," the "Thoughtful Classroom," and the "5 Dimensions for Teaching and Learning." It also gave the Michigan Department of Education the power to determine other acceptable evaluation tools.
It is understandable for some to want to micromanage school districts to this degree. After all, even though the Michigan Legislature empowered school officials to evaluate teachers and to make hiring and firing decisions on the basis of performance, many districts have preserved the status quo.
This is especially clear in Hazel Park, where Hazel Park High School Principal Don Vogt told Bridge that he had to lay off some of the school's best teachers because an agreement with the union required that new teachers be laid off first.
Making layoff decisions solely on the basis of seniority is against the law in Michigan. It is also against the law to negotiate layoff procedures with the union. And yet, a school official felt the practice was so commonplace that he had no problem discussing it with a reporter.
It is easy to forget that until recently teachers union contracts severely limited when and how teachers could be evaluated. That wasn't changed until 2011, when Michigan legislators (including Pavlov) passed major teacher tenure reform legislation.
The top priority should be that teacher evaluations are administered, that school officials actually distinguish among a district's best and worst teachers using student academic performance, and that teacher hiring and layoff decisions be based on keeping the best teachers in the classroom. In any case, motivating reluctant administrators to tie teacher evaluation to an objective measure of student achievement will be a major improvement.

Click on photo for Photo Guide
I've updated the navigation and design on the Mt. Rainier NP photo guide with better map Web pages and improved navigation between the information, map and list Web pages on a particular subject, listed in the table of contents (above guide) in addition to adding popup windows for the advisories than text in the Web page. This means you need to enable popup windows with your browser.
Scheduled for this month is a Web page for backcountry hikes. It's still in the research and development stage to compile the information and resources. It will focus on the longer weekend and longer hikes and the Wonderland trail. These are the least accessed areas of the NP by photographers but has some of the photography opportunities.
After that are guides for wildflowers, wildlife and climbing, Web pages for an NP overview and history and completing the Web pages for the northeast and southeast quadrants. The goal is to have the framework for the guide done by this fall or winter to work on the next generation design and production of a print version (PDF) for photographers and NP visitors sometime in the next year.
In addition I'm working on an off-shoot project of the 1896 expedition by Bailey Willis, Israel C. Russell and George O. Smith, all geologist, who made the first scientific exploration of the area around Mt. Rainier for the glaciers and geology. They were the first to navigate around the north side from Paradise across several eastern side glaciers. Willis also took numerous 4x5 photographs (black and white negatives) which I've found in federal archives.
This is a longer term project which will be added to the photo guide more as information with the longer term goal and plan to locate sites of the photographs to take new ones with a 4x5 camera (b&w and color). I'll keep you posted over the months and likely years as it unfolds.
I hope you enjoy the improvements and please let me know if you have any problems, suggestions or questions.

Need old Linux distro
I'm trying to run a binary that was made in 2000 or 2001. It's giving me an error message:

I posted a few days ago and received the suggestion that I get an old distro to run the binary. How can I get a distro that goes back to 2000 or 2001?

Spaces are still available for next month’s volleyball camps in Vilseck, Germany, for elementary- and middle-school boys and girls and high-school girls, director Brian Swenty said Thursday.
The camps, organized by A.C.E (Achievement, Commitment, Excellence) Volleyball Club, are sanctioned by DODDS-Europe and the Amateur Athletic Union. The elementary and middle-school day camp will be Aug. 18-20, and the high-school girls overnight camp is Aug. 21-24.
Leading the instructional staff is Giovanni Galvez, head women’s coach at Turabo University in Puerto Rico. A former professional player, Galvez also coaches the Las Criollas volleyball club in Puerto Rico.
Other instructors at the camps, which are open to all skill levels, are Joseph Krause, a certified coach with USA Volleyball; All-Air Force performer Chris Hucks, now playing with a German club; and Tim Kim and Manny Miguel, both members of the USAFE men’s team.
The day camp fee is $75 and the high school camp costs $150. All campers will receive an AAU membership and camp T-shirt.
“It should be a neat experience,” said Swenty, coach of the Vilseck High School Falcons. “We think this camp is timed well for kids moving in. It will give the newcomers a chance to meet and bond with their new teammates.”
Interested players can contact Swenty at firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com. The camp brochure can be viewed online at www.stut-hs.eu.dodea.edu/documents/ACEVBCVolleyballCampBrochure2010.pdf.

I am committed to building on the successes of the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) by supporting the passage of the VAWA Reauthorization of 2021. Among other protections, this bill reaffirms inherent Tribal authority to prosecute certain non-Indian offenders — extending protections from domestic violence and dating violence to Native American victims of sexual violence, stalking, trafficking, child abuse, elder abuse, and assault against law enforcement or justice personnel when crimes are committed on Tribal territory. Additionally, through the American Rescue Plan we provided an additional $35 million in grants for Tribes to provide temporary housing, assistance, and supportive services to victims of domestic and dating violence, as well as supplemental funding for the StrongHearts Native Helpline, and additional funding for services for sexual assault survivors. My Administration has also committed to effectively implement the requirements of Savannah’s Act and the Not Invisible Act, legislation focused on combating the issues surrounding missing or murdered Indigenous persons. The Presidential Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives continues to convene the Department of Justice, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Health and Human Services, to address the issues from a combined public health–public safety partnership. Furthering the efforts of the task force, the White House Council on Native American Affairs will bring together all relevant Federal agencies to work with Tribal Nations on exploring additional ways to enhance prevention efforts and improve access to safety and justice. Furthermore, informed by Tribal input, the Department of the Interior recently established the Missing & Murdered Unit (MMU) within the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services to provide leadership and direction for cross-departmental and interagency work involving missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. The MMU will help bring the weight of the Federal Government to bear when investigating these cases and marshal law enforcement resources across Federal agencies and throughout Indian country. Our commitment to addressing these issues and to strengthening these critical partnerships is unwavering. For too long, there has been too much sorrow and worry. United by our mutual investment in healthy, safe communities, we will work together to achieve lasting progress. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 5, 2021, as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day. I call on all Americans and ask all levels of government to support Tribal governments and Tribal communities’ efforts to increase awareness of the issue of missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives through appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth. JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

It's official- The biggest complaint about the new iPhone 4 on Apple's own discussion/support board may surprise people here. RANK #1- "Issue with Proximity Sensor....." 66,704 views, 681 replies #3 - "Signal issues...." 22,876 views, 231 replies http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1378&start=0 Despite mass hysteria, the biggest complaint by users is NOT the alleged antenna/signal issue. Three times as many people are complaining about the proximity sensor not working correctly. Can we harness the power of this forum and focus our energies on trying to get Apple to fix the sensor issue? Complain about it. Call Apple. Post about it. Maybe with enough noise, Apple will fix the real problem with this phone and not work on the antenna issue which doesn't seem to be users' biggest complaint.

Why was Fen Phen banned?

Boom, then bust. Itâ€™s a scenario often played out in local economies heavily reliant on one type of industry. And itâ€™s an underlying concern for Ohio communities currently experiencing a boom in shale oil and gas development. But the cycle isnâ€™t inescapable, say Ohio State University Extension experts. They have received funding to help eastern Ohio communities.
COLUMBUS â€” Seeing an Ohio soybean crop being sprayed with herbicide in July used to be as likely as a summer snowfall on the same field. But concerns that such late-season applications of herbicides like dicamba and 2,4-D could become more common has led to the development of the Ohio Department of Agricultureâ€™s Ohio Sensitive Crop Registry (OSCR).
High prices, unrelenting demand and decent weather have Ohioâ€™s cattle herds once again on the rise. Buckeye ranchers added 2 percent to their stock this year over last, one of the few states to do so, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
Given opportunities for higher return on investment and more flexibility at harvest, experts said on-farm grain storage can be a key component of any farmerâ€™s grain marketing plan.
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told farmers and agribusinesses on a trip to Missouri last week that agriculture essentially has â€˜nothing to worry aboutâ€™ and that â€˜nothing will changeâ€™ with the proposed Clean Water Act rule. Yet many of the 204,416 public comments submitted so far to regulations.gov on the rule suggest the agency has a ways to go to convince the industry.

Big News and I need to pinch myself to see if I'm not dreaming been wishing for this since 1984.deffo needs John and Alan's humour -plenty of room for that in a TV series Dredd doesn't even need to be the major character -but the presence of the law -that's how to approach his world -could be onto a winner here if they handle it right ... here's a few stories that may be explored in series -but my first thought when I saw title of show Mega City One was Marlon Shakesphere aka Chopper aka The Midnight Surfer (that needs to be live action without a doubt)
A few live Action versions of Old Stoney face .. the 95 movie was a big let down -Sly had to play Hollywood game which is not what JD is about at all -but it did feature Hammerstein and Ian Dury and the Cure on the soundtrack -but The Movie just hit all the wrong beats which is a drokkin shame... the real Rico's is as ugly as sin having spent time on Saturn's Moon Titan rather than Aspen (jeez how did that happen?)Rico's meant to be identical to Joe -sylvester and Armand aint.
cool to know Ian was a fan .
From 90's PS1 game but I actually liked this more than the 90's movie he looks like Joe if drawn by John Burns or Cliff Robinson and he's very Clint which is the right Dredd vibe although lately as Joe's kinda old he reminds me of John Wayne (but in a good way) cool to see Chief Judge Griffin in this too- the closest so far to getting the uniform right.
By today's standards not the greatest game-but it was fun to play and generous with all the different modes as well the main story- I thought voices and music were great -not sure why Chief Judge Hershey and Anderson were going around all unzipped like that(Judges don't do that) Dredd would of put them in a nympho cube 30 years lol- but I wish everyday for a new Dredd game Red Dead/Mass Effect/Fallout /GTA style -Rogue Trooper which followed was the business kept true to his story-but no major 2000ad games since.. now Rebellion have rights to Fleetway characters the worlds there oyster would love to see a Battle compilation game for example (third person mind nobody does that in these historical games apart from Rockstar & Assassins Creed,) One Eye Jack ,Rat Pack, Johnny Red Leopard from Lime Street Roy of the Rovers ,The Sarge etc would
make such awesome games )Karl & Olivia should reprise these roles .. they got it right .
Looking forward to Search and Destroy The Strontium Dog fan film (not long now) -so to get in the mood here's Judge Minty again .. but it's so Boss gotta see it again.Greg Staples is an excellent Dredd & Artist .
I dunno do they need a sequel it's worth seeing as Ridley's an old Mucker with my old art teacher Brian Love who taught Ian Dury too , so glad it's him .. maybe film needs addressing seeing as we live in Blade Runner times .

Suspect accused of killing his lover is found hanged in his cell four years after being released from prison for murdering another girlfriend
- The body of Simon Mellors, 56, was found in Strangeways jail in Manchester
- He was arrested in January after allegedly murdering NHS worker Janet Scott
- Mellors had already been jailed in 1999 for the murder of his estranged lover
- Yesterday, relatives of both victims slammed prison and probation bosses
Simon Mellors, 56, had been accused of murdering his lover when he was found hanged in custody. Four years earlier he had been freed for killing another girlfriend
A man accused of murdering his lover has been found hanged in custody – four years after being released from jail for killing another girlfriend.
The body of Simon Mellors, 56, was discovered at Strangeways in Manchester while he was supposed to be on suicide watch.
He was arrested in January after allegedly stabbing Janet Scott and then mowing her down with his car, having waited for the former NHS worker outside her home.
Mellors, a supermarket worker who had been described as a ‘violent bully’, had already been jailed in 1999 for the murder of his estranged lover Pearl Black, 36.
He was released on licence in 2014 despite warnings from her family that he would kill again.
Yesterday, relatives of both Mrs Scott, 51, and Miss Black condemned the prison and probation services for how they handled the double killer.
Even Mellors’ sister, Teresa Cullen, agreed that he should not have been released from prison so soon for the earlier murder and described his death as a ‘relief’.
Mellors was arrested in January after allegedly stabbing Janet Scott (left) and then mowing her down with his car. He was jailed in 1999 for the murder of his estranged lover Pearl Black (right)
Mrs Scott’s brother-in-law said the family only discovered that Mellors had died after his relatives posted messages about it on Facebook on Sunday.
Keith Thomson, 60, from Nottingham, added: ‘We have been cheated of justice. Mellors was on suicide watch, so as well as failing us, the Prison Service have failed him miserably, too. Mellors was a predator, an animal. Janet was terrified of him.’
Mrs Scott, a mother of six, is understood to have met Mellors last spring, at around the time she became estranged from her fourth husband, Chris Scott, 51.
But by Christmas she had left Mellors and was soon reconciled with Mr Scott, who moved in with her in Arnold, Nottingham.
‘All-controlling’ Mellors was accused of stabbing her at her home on January 29, before persuading her to get into his car.
But as they neared his flat in Nottingham, she saw a community protection officer and leapt out of the vehicle as it slowed in traffic.

As she approached the officer for help, Mellors drove his car at them, killing Mrs Scott and injuring the CPO.
Mellors was charged with murder, attempted murder and a third count of maliciously wounding Mrs Scott, who had recently taken a job at Lidl. He had previously bludgeoned Miss Black with an iron bar before strangling her at her home in Bramcote, Nottingham, as her two children – one of whom was his – slept nearby.
The next morning he took the handle off the bedroom door so they couldn’t get in, took them to school, and tried to kill himself with beer and slug pellets, but was found and arrested.
He was given a 14-year minimum sentence before being considered for release. But this was cut to 12 years on appeal. The jury at that trial heard that Mellors had been depressed, and was not normally violent.
But more than a decade before he murdered Miss Black he was described as a ‘violent bully’ after threatening to kill a lover.
The Parole Board judged him as being safe for release in 2014, despite warnings from Miss Black’s siblings. Her sister, Mary Black, said they were ‘ignored’ at a parole hearing, adding: ‘The authorities have blood on their hands.
‘Mellors should never have been allowed out of prison. But this time he has slipped out of there without facing any justice. It’s the coward’s way out.’
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on February 1 but entered no pleas.
The Ministry of Justice said: ‘Simon Mellors died in custody on February 25. There will be an investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.’

The Definition of Metabolism
When dieters talk about metabolism, they usually aren’t talking about a long list of physical and chemical processes.
We often use the word “metabolism” to describe the rate at which our bodies burn calories.
This is the rate at which your body converts food into energy (calories) and then uses the energy to perform essential and non-essential daily functions.
The rate at which we burn calories or burn energy is called metabolic rate.
Your metabolic rate might change from day to day depending on your activity level, but your basal metabolic rate stays fairly steady.
Your basal metabolic rate is the number of calories needed to fuel your body’s essential functions, like breathing and circulating blood.
Basal metabolic rate is the most significant component of your total metabolic rate.
Why Is My Metabolism Slow?
Everyone’s metabolic rate is different. You might wonder why other people seem to have a fast metabolism and you have a slow metabolism.
There many be several reasons why. There are many different factors that affect metabolism
Age. Metabolism slows as we age.
Gender. Men generally have a higher metabolism than women.
Body size. Bigger bodies burn more calories.
Body temperature. Metabolism increases when the body is exposed to extreme temperatures.
Caffeine or stimulant intake. Your metabolism may increase if you consume a stimulant like caffeine.
Hormones. If thyroid hormones are not produced properly by your body, your metabolism may increase or decrease depending on the hormone level.
Pregnancy. Women who are pregnant have a faster metabolism.
Food intake. If you don’t eat enough food, your metabolism slows.
Body composition. Lean muscle mass burns more calories than fat even when your body is at rest.
Activity level. When you move more during the day, either through exercise or routine daily movements (like walking or standing) your body burns more calories.
Foods That Slow Your Metabolism
Not-so-shockingly, Michaels names sugar as one of the greatest culprits of a sluggish metabolism. Why? After savoring a dessert, she explains, your blood sugar spikes.
This causes your cortisol and insulin hormone levels to increase, in an effort to level things out—and it can eventually lead to metabolic disruption if left unchecked long-term.
“Hormones work in a symphony, and there are tons of them,” explains Michaels. “So ultimately, when we’re looking at metabolism, we want to make sure that we have the right hormones working for us, instead of against us.”
According to Chicago-based dietician Amanda Leimein, MS, RD, LDN, the lack of fiber in sugary snacks is yet another factor that makes them a total no-go for a solid metabolism.
“Things that we think of as sugar—like cookies, cake, pancakes, whatever—are broken down by our our bodies really, really quickly,” she says.
Fiber-rich foods, however, are digested slowly—your body fights hard to break them down, kickstarting your metabolism in the process.
Foods that contain a lot of fat can easily hamper your metabolism rate. Fat is not as easily digested as some of the other foods that will slow your metabolism.
High fat foods create a scenario where your body simply doesn’t know what to do with it all.
In this instance, your metabolism slows down and takes a break while your body starts saving the fat for future use.
This results not only in a slower metabolism, but in an increase in body fat as well.
Avoid fried foods and fast foods, and instead indulge in things like baked chips and low fat desserts to help keep your sweet tooth at bay.
Drink a glass of whole milk thinking that you’ve just “done the body good” and you may have taken a step at slowing your metabolism down.
Remember that milk is fortified with vitamins because the processing that it goes through kills off important nutrients.
That means you’re not really getting naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, but rather industrial grade synthetic vitamins and minerals manufactured by the food industry.
Aside from it being the milk of another species, there’s really nothing natural for the human body in a glass of conventionally manufactured and fortified milk.
Refined foods such as white bread, pasta and rice are easily broken down by the body because the complex carbohydrates have been taken out of them.
This means that your body doesn’t have to work very hard in order to digest the nutrition found in these foods, leaving your metabolism at a crawl.
Refined carbs don’t offer a lot of nutritional value anyway, so you’re better off consuming whole wheat breads, pasta and brown rice.
These choices require your metabolism to work in order to digest the nutrients, so it helps to speed it up.

Syrian troops on Thursday (July 26th) prepared to launch an all-out offensive in the northern city of Aleppo in what the pro-regime newspaper Al-Watan called "the mother of all battles", AFP reported.
Free Syrian Army spokesperson Col. Abdel Jabbar al-Okaidi said 100 army tanks and a large number of other military vehicles had arrived in the city. "The army's reinforcements have arrived in Aleppo," Al-Okaidi said. "We expect a major offensive at any time, specifically on areas across the southern belt, from east to west."
"There's no way to compare our capacity to theirs," he said. "They have tanks; we have medium and light weapons. But we believe in our struggle; they are fighting for nothing," al-Okaidi said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 143 people were killed throughout Syria on Wednesday, including 75 civilians.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Thursday urged forces fighting in Syria to avoid damage to historically important cultural sites, in particular in the country's second-largest city Aleppo.
A statement by the agency said UNESCO was "particularly alarmed over reports of heavy fighting in Aleppo", which is a world heritage site, and was concerned over other heritage sites including the Crac des Chevaliers crusader castle and the ruins of Palmyra.

Over two dozen first responders, recent grads of intensive crisis intervention training, make up a newly formed intervention team.
Emergency responders from federal, state and local agencies graduated on Friday from specialized training that equips them to handle mental health crises in the field.
“For the size of the community we have, the fact that we are even talking about crisis intervention training, it’s progressive,” Jackson Chief of Police Todd Smith told the graduating class. “You have a lot of tools on your belt, and now you have one more. I hope you go out and use it to keep the public safe.”
Deputies from Teton County Sheriff’s Office, officers from Jackson Police Department, Teton County dispatchers, a nurse and a security officer at St. John’s Medical Center, troopers with Wyoming Highway Patrol and Grand Teton National Park rangers completed the 40-hour training, taught by Dr. Dara Rampersad of Crisis Intervention Training International Inc.
The 26-person class was presented with certificates of completion on Friday during a ceremony at St. John’s Medical Center.
“What has impressed me most is the dedication they have shown,” Rampersad said. “They’ve driven through snowstorms an hour and a half away to be here at 8 a.m. They showed passion and a lot of heart.”
Crisis Intervention Training International is a nonprofit that trains law enforcement and medical professionals to deal with people with mental illnesses. One of the nonprofit’s goals is to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
“It’s a public health concern,” Rampersad said. “First responders don’t get to choose what they respond to, and we don’t want to use force when we don’t need to.”
Sheriff Matt Carr said it’s significant to have so many local first responders with crisis intervention skills.
“This means a lot to our community,” he said. “It’s something that will make it safer.”
Jackson Police Department Community Service Officer Adam Galadima said it was impressive to see so many agencies working together to learn more about proper response to mental health issues.
“It was neat to see it in a class that combined all the aspects of de-escalation and how to help people going through a rough time,” Galadima said. “I work with families in crisis and I think this type of training will give me tools I need to work more effectively and diligently with those people.”
The graduates now make up a local crisis intervention team.
Another round of training, held in April 2018, focused on mood disorders, de-escalation, addiction, suicide, domestic violence and tactical considerations.
Students learned how to recognize a mental health crisis, like how behaviors of a schizophrenic can be similar to someone who is high on methamphetamine.
First responders and health professionals learned how to know the differences to determine the best treatment for the patient.
Crisis training has been a goal in Teton County for years, Chief Smith said, and provides responders with the depth to make the best decisions in resolving critical matters.
