As we get closer to the summer travel season, some European countries have loosened border restrictions for tourists.
Rejoice! Americans can now travel to Greece, Iceland, and Croatia for tourism and without quarantine. Spain will reopen on June 7th, France is targeting an opening date of June 9th, and Italy is allowing U.S. tourists who arrive from specific COVID-free flights to visit as of May 16th!
Additional European countries have also indicated that they are trying to reopen borders to Americans this summer. Stay tuned!
Read on for additional information about traveling to the three open countries.
*Please note that these requirements are subject to change at any time and without notice.
**When returning to the United States, all airline passengers aged two years and older must provide a negative COVID-19 viral test taken within three calendar days of travel. Alternatively, travelers to the U.S. may provide documentation from a licensed health care provider of having recovered from COVID-19 in the 90 days preceding travel. There are no exceptions for vaccinated travelers.
Requirements for Border Entry
Effective May 14th, 2021:
- All travelers over the age of five must present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival, or:
- Show proof of a completed COVID-19 vaccination at least 14 days prior to arrival in Greece (no PCR test required)
- All visitors are subject to a random COVID test upon arrival (free of charge)
- All visitors must complete the online Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least 48 hours before entering Greece
While Traveling in Greece
- Visitors are expected to comply with local laws and regulations regarding mask-wearing, social distancing, and curfews.

Requirements for Border Entry
- Americans traveling to Iceland for non-essential reasons (tourism), must show proof of a completed COVID-19 vaccination at least 14 days prior to arrival in Iceland OR a certificate of prior COVID-19 infection.
- Those born in 2005 or later must test negative for COVID-19 at the border.
- All visitors will need to take a COVID test upon arrival (free of charge) and must stay in their accommodations until the result is ready (in 5-24 hours). This requirement is temporary and will be reviewed again by June 1st. (7/1/21 UPDATE: Testing at the border has ended.)
- All visitors must complete the online Pre-registration Form 72 hours before entering Iceland
For more information on entry requirements and to check for updates, visit: https://visit.covid.is/
While Traveling in Iceland
- Visitors are expected to comply with local laws and regulations regarding mask-wearing and social distancing. (7/1/21 UPDATE: Iceland became the first European country to drop all COVID restrictions. No masking or social distancing is required.)
Itinerary Inspiration: A 7-Day self-drive itinerary in Iceland could include all the must-see sights in Reykjavik, along the Golden Circle, the Blue Lagoon, and the South Coast. Have 12 or more days to spend in Iceland? Consider driving the entire Ring Road (add about 5-6 days). I visited Iceland in June 2021 and it was perfection! Contact me to get your own point-to-point custom itinerary for Iceland.
Cassie’s Take: Iceland is enjoying a low infection rate and most sights and attractions have reopened. If you’re fully vaccinated and looking to explore the great outdoors this summer, Iceland’s varied landscape is a compelling option!
Requirements for Border Entry
As of April 1st, 2021, Americans can enter via any one of these 4 methods:
- A negative COVID-19 test result: PCR test less than 72 hours old or rapid antigen test not older than 48 hours prior to arrival in Croatia.
- A certificate of vaccination demonstrating a persons final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was administered at least 14 days prior to arrival in Croatia.
- Proof via a medical certificate showing that the traveler recovered from COVID-19 between 11-180 days of a positive test result.
- Travelers may also get a PCR or rapid antigen test – at the traveler’s own expense – immediately upon arrival in Croatia. The traveler must self-isolate until a negative test result is received. If the traveler prefers not to test, they must stay in self-isolation for 10 days.
All visitors should complete the Enter Croatia form before arrival.
While Traveling in Croatia
- Visitors are expected to comply with local laws and regulations regarding mask-wearing and social distancing.

Cassie’s Take: Croatia is an attractive option with spectacular natural beauty. Options abound for a self-drive itinerary or for a small-ship island-hopping coastal cruise. My only concern is the requirement to show proof of having pre-paid accommodations. The border could close at any time and without notice.

Scanning Electron Microscopy
Structural and morphological characterization of prepared TNT–Ti sample surfaces was performed using a field emission SEM (Philips XL 30). The samples were mounted on a holder with double-sided conductive tape and coated with a platinum layer 3-nm thick. SEM images from the top, bottom and cross-section were acquired.
Dynamic Light Scattering
The particle size distribution of AuNPs and TPGS micelles (before and after drug encapsulation) were evaluated by laser dynamic light scattering (DLS) using a Zetasizer Nano ZS, Malvern Instrument Ltd (Worcestershire, UK) from five repeated measurements.
The amount of loaded drug and drug carriers in TNT with and without AuNPs, was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA; Hi-Res Modulated 2950, Q Series™ Thermal Analysis; TA Instruments, DE, USA), before and after the in vitro release studies. A TNT–Ti sample was mounted onto a platinum pan, placed inside a burning furnace and heated from 20 to 800°C at a scanning rate of 10°C/min under nitrogen gas flow of 50 ml/min. The obtained thermograms were analyzed using the software Universal Analysis 2000 (TA Instruments). TGA was performed after the release experiments to confirm the amount of released drug carriers and AuNPs from TNT–Ti. The amount of drug–micelle loading was obtained by measuring the mass of drug and micelles loaded inside the TNT from TGA graphs. The net amount of drug was quantified from the difference between empty TPGS micelles (no drug encapsulation) and indomethacin-loaded TPGS micelles, to obtain the weight loss difference, (i.e. drug mass). The loading capacity of drug and drug carriers was calculated from TGA results using the formula:
In Vitro Studies of Drug & Drug Carriers Released From TNT
Four TNT–Ti samples loaded with active agents including drugs with and without AuNPs, and drug–micelles with and without AuNPs were used for this study. An in vitro release experiment was performed by immersion of these samples in PBS (pH = 7.2) at room temperature in a 1.5-ml eppendorf tube with 1 ml of PBS. A 0.5-ml aliquot of eluted drug medium was removed for quantification and this volume was replaced with fresh buffer to prevent sink conditions. Drug release was quantified by measuring the absorbance of the release media diluted with fresh PBS (1:1) using an UV–visible (Vis) spectrophotometer. The release studies were carried out after drug loading, and the active agents were stored for 24 h in TNT in a vacuum desiccator, without any passive diffusion. The RF trigger was applied as soon as the samples were immersed in PBS in our first study to show the impact of RF and after 5 days of natural release in our second study, which demonstrated on-demand delivery at arbitrary time points. Drug release characteristics under the influence of a RF trigger for stimulated release and non-stimulated release based on free diffusion as a control were obtained. Another set of control experiments with only drug and drug carriers (without AuNPs) inside the TNTs triggered by RF were carried out independently. The trigger source was a custom-made RF system as shown in Figure 2. A variable frequency generator set to 1 GHz RF field was used (Wavetek 2500A Signal Generator 0.2 to 1100 MHz; CA, USA). The RF generator was connected to an amplifier, powered by an external source – the Lab Power Supply 0–30 V 2.5 Amp Digital Display (Dick Smith Australia Pty Ltd, Adelaide, Australia). A voltage of 25 V and a current of 2 Amps were found to be the optimal settings based on conducted preliminary experiments. The instrument generates a reciprocal power of 20 W at 1 GHz, measured by an in-line wattmeter that reads forward and reverse power (Bird Electronic Model 43 RF Wattmeter, accuracy ±5% full scale; average mode; Bird Technologies, OH, USA). From these two measurements, it is possible to calculate the standing wave ratio (SWR) from the RF load (amplifier), which is also the industry standard and benchmark for performance and reliability in routine RF power measurements. The SWR is the ratio of the maximum amplitude of the standing wave to the minimum amplitude (i.e., the ratio of antinode voltage:node voltage of the feed line standing wave). It is calculated using the following equation:
Radiofrequency generator set-up. The radiofrequency set-up for in vitro drug and drug carrier release, consisting of (from left to right): a signal generator to control radiofrequency (power supply); connected to an amplifier; followed by a wattmeter; and a solenoid copper coil for holding the titania nanotube–titanium sample loaded with drug or polymer micelles mixed with gold nanoparticles and the entire drug-eluting implant immersed in the buffer solution at pH 7.2.
in which Γ is the reflection coefficient and E the amplitude. The generated RF signals from the copper coil surrounding the tube carrying the TNT sample was used as an energy source to induce the AuNPs loaded at the bottom-most corner of the nanotubes for release of the drug or drug carriers. The release is based on heating AuNPs inside TNT via RF, which provides the excitation energy to stimulate drug or drug carrier release. External nitrogen gas cooling was used to control the temperature of the coil.
The RF triggering was performed during two stages of drug release: the initial (burst) release and after 5 days of release. Three different RF exposure times (2, 5 and 10 min) were investigated in order to explore the influence of these durations and the impact of the RF trigger on the release characteristics of the drug and drug carrier with respect to time. The concentration of released drug or drug carriers from TNT was determined by UV–Vis spectroscopic analysis using a Cary 60 (Varian Ltd, Crawley, UK) instrument. The UV detection wavelength was set at λ = 250 nm (drug–micelles from TNT) and 320 nm (pure drug from TNT). The samples were collected consecutively and periodically every 5–10 min for up to 2.5 h (initial trigger), or 5–7 days in the case of control samples (normal/nontriggered, RF trigger on day 5 and with RF trigger but no AuNPs), when complete release was reached. After each release experiment, TNT–Ti samples were characterized by TGA to confirm that no remaining drug, drug carriers or AuNPs were left at the end of the experiment. The concentration of AuNPs was not specifically monitored during drug release. The DLS characterization of released drug carriers was also conducted to probe the integrity of polymer micelles after release and to compare the results with samples before their release.

Norman Geister is just weeks away from finishing his Manufacturing Technician technical degree at Northcentral Technical College in Wausau. He’s 49. His motivation for going back to school? He can still see. “I’m not wasting any more time,” Geister says.
Just over a year ago, Geister felt exceptionally tired over the course of a weekend. After sleeping from 6:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. the next day, Geister woke up and started to get dressed for work. He noticed floaters and worms in his vision and was immediately referred to his community hospital’s emergency room, with the fear that he was having a stroke. He spent a week in the hospital feeling dizzy and experiencing blurred vision. The Eye Clinic of Wisconsin in Wausau found that the arteries in the back of his right eye were plugged. Geister was then referred to UW Health Eye Clinics for answers.
Geister met with Kimberly Stepien, MD, associate professor and vice chair of clinical affairs with the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at UW-Madison. Dr. Stepien specializes in retina, macula, and inherited retinal degenerations. After many tests, the diagnosis was Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, or VKH for short. VKH is suspected to be an auto-immune disease. It can affect many parts of the body, including the eyes, ears, nervous system and skin.
Geister’s partial blindness has stopped progressing, for now. It’s very much a wait and see process, he notes. After the initital diagnosis, he visited Dr. Stepien every three months. Currently, he visits every six months.
His sight is still blurry, with depth perception issues and floaters, but Geister has figured out how to manage pretty well. He’s been in machining and welding for a long time, so he is comfortable knowing where he can make allowances for his eyesight. For example, he has learned how to adjust his right eye while welding, closing it to various degrees, so that he can hold a straight line. Geister also uses a magnifying glass in his work and studies.
In talking with Geister, you get the sense that this ability to adjust is what gets him through this. “There’s always a rainbow,” he said. “Something good always comes out of it. Whether the blindness comes back and hits again, I’ll modify again. I’ll adjust.” And it’s easy to imagine that he will. Geister will finish his degree in May and is looking for a new opportunity where he can practice his welding and building skills.

|Full Name||Elizabeth Egan Gillies|
|Birthday||July 26, 1993|
|Age||30 years old|
|Born||Haworth, New Jersey, United States|
|Relationship Status||Dating Michael Corcoran|
|Social Media||Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube|
Elizabeth Gillies is an acclaimed actress and singer known for starring in the Nickelodeon series “Victorious”, originating the role of Lucy in Broadway‘s "13", and currently playing Fallon Carrington in The CW‘s revival of “Dynasty”. With her stellar acting abilities, powerful singing voice, and magnetic stage presence, Gillies has won over legions of fans across her various television, film, and theater projects.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Born in New Jersey in 1993, Gillies‘ passion for performing emerged at an early age. She began studying acting professionally at just 7 years old and landed her first Broadway role at age 12 in "The Black Donnellys".
Her big break came in 2008, when she originated the role of Lucy in the new Broadway musical "13". Despite being just 15 years old at the time, Gillies blew audiences away with her portrayal of the popular girl Lucy, showcasing her vocal range and acting skills. The New York Times raved about her "thoroughly convincing and appealing heroine" performance.
Gillies went on to appear in other theater productions like "Spring Awakening" and small TV roles before landing her defining role as the confrontational Jade West on Nickelodeon‘s "Victorious" in 2010 at age 17.
Becoming a Star on Victorious
As Jade West on “Victorious”, Gillies became a bonafide teen star. The series aired from 2010-2013 and co-starred Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, and others as students at a performing arts high school.
Gillies stood out as the quick-witted goth girl Jade, showcasing her comedic timing as well as her powerful singing voice on songs like “Give It Up”. With her portrayal of Jade – complete with iconic blue/green hair streaks – Gillies became a fan favorite and fashion icon for teens.
Critics praised her performance as well, with Jon Caramanica of the New York Times writing “Ms. Gillies has the heaviest comedic lifting to do, and she‘s deadpan brilliant at it.”
Transitioning to Mature Roles
After “Victorious” ended in 2013, Gillies began taking on more mature acting roles in her late teens and early 20s. She starred in horror films like “Animal” and “Occult”, as well as the 2015 comedy “Vacation” with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate.
Gillies also began focusing seriously on music, releasing songs like “You Don’t Know Me” and “Jealousy” that highlighted her wide vocal range and belts.
In 2017, she landed her most high-profile “grown-up” role as Fallon Carrington in The CW’s revival of the 1980s drama “Dynasty”. As the stylish, headstrong daughter in the wealthy Carrington family, Gillies has earned strong praise for bringing a fresh spin to the iconic character.
Theater Star: Broadway Breakthrough
While Gillies may be best known today as a screen actress, her talents also extend to theater. Gillies actually made her Broadway debut at age 12 before reaching mainstream fame.
Her biggest theater role came at 15 when she originated the part of Lucy in the new musical “13”. Gillies wowed with her outstanding voice and multi-dimensional performance, earning raves like this from The New York Times:
“But it’s Elizabeth Gillies, who plays the popular girl Lucy, who conveys the most thoroughly convincing and appealing heroine. Ms. Gillies, who previously appeared in “The Black Donnellys” on television, smothers most of the show’s adolescent wobbles with the confidence of a genuine star.”
Gillies continues to showcase her acting and vocal talents across TV, film, and music. But her early Broadway success demonstrated the immense skillset she brought to the table even as a teenager.
Fun Facts About Elizabeth Gillies
Beyond her impressive professional accomplishments, Gillies is known for her quirky personality and sense of humor. Here are some fun facts that fans love about her:
- She loves horror films and calls herself a "scream queen".
- She‘s very close with her Victorious co-stars Ariana Grande and Daniella Monet years later.
- Her zodiac sign is Leo.
- She has two cats named Delta and Ophelia.
- Her net worth is estimated around $4 million.
- She‘s actively involved in social causes like LGBTQ rights.
- She has over 20 million followers across social media.
- She says the Victorious character Jade is most like her real personality.
- She hilariously chronicles her life on Instagram in her "Elizabeth Gillies Shit Show" stories.
Why Liz Gillies Has Such a Devoted Fanbase
Gillies has amassed a loyal fanbase over the years, thanks to qualities like:
- Her obvious talent and versatility as an actress, singer, and Broadway performer
- Her bold, experimental sense of style that inspired many teens
- Her close, genuine relationships with costars and fans
- Her down-to-earth personality and sense of humor she shares online

Hmong face high rates of some cancers
Hmong are also likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- Many of the 15,000 Hmong immigrants arriving in the United States this year will confront an illness that has no name in the Hmong language -- cancer. According to research presented today at the 5th Asian American Cancer Control Academy, the Hmong in California face rates of nasopharyngeal, cervical, stomach and liver cancer that are up to 16 times higher than for non-Hispanic whites and three times higher than for Asian Americans overall. In addition, the Hmong are much less likely than other ethnic groups in California to have their cancers diagnosed at an early, treatable stage.
Between 1988 and 2000, only 24 percent of cancers diagnosed in California's Hmong were detected at an early stage. Nasopharyngeal cancer was diagnosed early in only 3 percent of cases, stomach cancer in only 10 percent of cases and liver cancer in only 15 percent.
More than a third of the nation's 169,000 Hmong -- 65,000 -- live in California. The U.S. State Department last year granted permission for another 15,000 Hmong to enter the country from Thailand. About half of these newest immigrants are also expected to settle in California.
"The Hmong are a unique people with unique health challenges," says Moon S. Chen, Jr., professor of public health sciences at UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center. Chen is principal investigator of the Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (AANCART), an $8.5 million project funded by the National Cancer Institute and headquartered at UC Davis.
"Until now we have had very little information about cancer rates and risks in the Hmong," Chen said. "This study points to the need for increased cancer education, awareness and screening among the Hmong both in California and nationally to help them confront cancer, one of their biggest health threats."
To determine cancer rates in the Hmong, researchers combed the California Cancer Registry for cancer cases diagnosed in individuals with one of the 18 Hmong surnames. Several of these surnames, including Yang and Lee, are common to people of both Hmong and Chinese heritage. To avoid misclassification, cases with surnames that could be either Chinese or Hmong were further examined for place of birth and surnames of next-of-kin.
Between 1988 and 2000, the researchers found 749 cases of cancer in California's Hmong. Overall, the age-adjusted cancer rate in the Hmong was 284 cases per 100,000, 22 percent lower than in Asian Americans overall in California and 44 percent lower than in the state's non-Hispanic white population.
But the overall low cancer rate in the Hmong -- reflecting the community's low incidence of colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancers -- masks very high rates of other cancers. Nasopharyngeal cancer, for example, occurs at a rate of 16 cases per 100,000 people among Hmong males – 16 times the rate for non-Hispanic whites in California.
Nasopharyngeal cancer is associated with several risk factors, including consumption of Cantonese salted fish and infection with Epstein Barr virus. Liver cancer is associated with chronic infection with hepatitis B virus, and stomach cancer may be associated with the bacteria H. pylori and consumption of highly salted, smoked or pickled foods.
"With access to Western medicine, including hepatitis B immunization, antibiotics for bacterial infections and Pap screening, the rates of the cancers that are now most prevalent in the Hmong should decrease within a generation," said Richard Yang, research scientist at the Cancer Registry of Central California based in Fresno.
But without education, the Hmong may see their now-low rates of lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers begin to climb within a generation. "Smoking is not common in the Hmong," Yang said. "However, as younger Hmong become more Westernized, cigarette consumption and lung cancer may increase. In addition, if the Hmong follow the pattern seen in other Asian migrant groups, particularly the Japanese and Chinese, their rates of Western cancers like breast and colon cancer will also start to rise. We have a unique opportunity, with the Hmong, to prevent this pattern."
Through AANCART, UC Davis researchers have partnered with the Hmong Women's Heritage Association in Sacramento to raise cancer awareness and screening rates in the region's Hmong. The university and Hmong women's group have translated cancer information pamphlets into Hmong and developed and offered Cancer Awareness 101 and Cancer Awareness 201 courses to Hmong community leaders and medical interpreters. Every new Hmong family arriving in the Sacramento region has been offered a free health kit containing cancer screening and early detection information. In addition, AANCART-UC Davis has launched a patient "navigator" program in which a Hmong medical interpreter accompanies Hmong cancer patients to their medical appointments, helps them understand and follow treatment plans, and provides assistance as needed with insurance, transportation and other barriers.
AANCART-UC Davis has also compiled a Hmong-English cancer glossary. After lengthy community debate, consensus was reached on a Hmong word for cancer: kheesxawj.
The first Hmong arrived in the United States from Thai refugee camps in the early 1980s, settling primarily in California's Central Valley and the St. Paul, Minn., area. Among California's Hmong today, 44 percent have less than a ninth grade education and only 18 percent have a high school diploma or equivalent degree. Half of all Hmong families in the state live below the federal poverty level. More than 54 percent of Hmong families have seven or more members per household.
AANCART is the largest project ever undertaken to reduce cancer in Asian Americans. Based at UC Davis, it includes researchers from seven other institutions: Harvard, Columbia, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, the University of Washington, UCLA, UC San Francisco and the University of Hawaii.

Steve Allison, a candidate running for State Representative in District 121 in Bexar County, claims to have the “experience, expertise, and know-how to fix our broken education finance system,” but as a board member for VIA Metropolitan Transit, expensive debt remained a lingering issue potentially affecting the authority’s long-term future.
Three bonds were issued for the San Antonio transit authority between the fiscal years of 2012 and 2014 – and all three of those bonds remain outstanding. Add to that the worrisome fact that VIA’s net position decreased by $3.4 million at the end of 2016. This considerable drop may force future bond issues for the agency.
With this troubling trend, VIA Metropolitan Transit will only gain more debt. Rather than search for smart solutions to reduce VIA’s burdensome debt for the benefit of taxpayers, Allison instead has opted to kick the can down the road until it no longer is his problem.
Allison has been on the VIA board since 2010 and worked as a member of the statewide Special Committee on Revenue and Funding. Allison should understand the problem of long-term debt and work to solve the issue, not avoid it. This debt will result in higher rates that will end up negatively affecting average Texans who are paying for public transportation services.
If Steve Allison can’t properly manage taxpayer money at VIA, how can we trust him to manage it in the Texas Legislature?

8 April 2011 — FAIR Blog
Afraid of NATO killing civilians in Libya? The New York Times editorial page (4/8/11) sees the way forward by ramping up the war:
There is a much better option: the American A-10 and AC-130 aircraft used earlier in the Libya fighting and still on standby status….
But no other country has aircraft comparable to America’s A-10, which is known as the Warthog, designed to attack tanks and other armored vehicles, or to the AC-130 ground-attack gunship, which is ideally suited for carefully sorting out targets in populated areas.
AC-130s were used frequently in the Iraq War, particularly in the bloody fight in the city of Fallujah–which was not often characterized by the careful sorting of targets. The Times established a record of downplaying the civilian deaths there, which might help explain why their editorial page has such faith in the careful sorting properties of these aircraft.

If you’re reading this column, I’ll assume today is shaping up to be very different than a normal Tuesday.
You may be working from home. You may be teaching your children how to do long division. You may be wondering about how many hours your manager can carve out for you this week at work. You’re likely hyper-alert to every cough, sniffle or sneeze within a two-block radius.
Recent events across the globe and in our own communities have spawned anxiety, doubt and, perhaps, even some fear. We get it, because we feel it, too. There have been challenges. There will be more. There will be better Tuesdays, however. We’re confident of that.
The newsroom at the Daily News, staffed by a handful of your neighbors, is committed to delivering the news of the day, news obviously dominated by the novel coronavirus.
Our mission is to bring you the facts about the virus, its spread and the ways we as a community can help limit its impact. To that end, we’re trying to be agile and efficient in the way we deliver the news. Accomplishing that goal demands we evolve to better serve the reader.
Regular readers will notice some changes in today’s report, in print and online. Those changes are outlined below. Please let us know what you think.
Coronavirus stories outside pay wall: Since late last week, we’ve had our online coronavirus stories outside our subscription pay wall. Please go to dnews.com/coronavirus for our locally produced content and select regional and national stories about the outbreak. We’re working to keep that page updated hourly with stories that affect us all. We encourage you to bookmark it and return often. And consider this an open invitation to subscribe to the Daily News if you do not do so already.
Coronavirus quick hits: Please turn to Page 2 of today’s print edition for our Community Bulletin Board. There’s a lot happening — and not happening — across the Palouse, and this is our attempt to quickly and efficiently spread what we’ve heard about closures, cancellations and opportunities in the time of social distancing. We invite you to submit your items to the board. We’ll count on your eyes and ears to keep everyone informed.
The Morning Report: The Daily News last week quietly launched the Morning Report. The 3-minute audio roundup (a podcast, if you will) of daily headlines and can be found at dnews.com/morning_report. News reporter Scott Jackson is commanding the mic, and we think you’ll enjoy a quick listen weekdays as you start your morning. Our goal is to provide key headlines with the hope you’ll feel compelled to know more.
Sports coverage: If you notice the print and online editions of the paper seem a bit more “streamlined” in coming weeks, our sports coverage will likely be the reason. At this point there are few sports to actually cover. We’re looking forward to when our communities can return to watching and cheering for our athletes, which likely means we’ve reached the backside of the current threat.
Acting now, planning ahead: We’re taking extra steps to sanitize our public areas of our office on the third floor of the federal building in Moscow. If you need to visit, be confident we’re doing all we can to keep our employees and visitors safe. Any Daily News employee who can work remotely is being asked to do so. While not expected, we may experience a potential disruption at our Lewiston printing facility, which could prevent our ability to produce the printed copy of the Daily News. Should we not be able to print the Daily News, our online pay wall at dnews.com will be removed. Plans are in the works to develop alternatives to lessen the financial impact on newspaper carriers should a print disruption last more than a few days.
Reaching us: We’d encourage readers to email or call with all news tips, questions and concerns that can be handled without an in-person visit. Call us at (208) 883-4622 or email firstname.lastname@example.org. We have a complete list of office contacts at dnews.com/site/contact.html.
Craig Staszkow is the managing editor of the Daily News. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Lite 5G smartphones in the Mi 11 series were launched by Xiaomi in China on Monday, March 29, along with the Mi Smart Band 6.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro specifications
The dual-SIM 5G Mi 11 Pro borrows a lot of its specifications from the Mi 11 Ultra with the primary difference being the lack of a secondary display and a more advanced camera of the Mi 11 Ultra. The Mi 11 Pro has the exact same display as the Mi 11 Ultra with HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision support, and is also powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. The Mi 11 Pro also comes with an IP68 dust- and water-resistant build and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W wired as well as wireless fast charging.
The triple rear camera setup on the Mi 11 Pro includes a 50-megapixel Samsung GN2 primary sensor with an f/1.95 lens and OIS. The phone has a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle secondary camera with a 123-degree FoV and an 8-megapixel tele-macro tertiary camera with OIS, a 50x digital zoom, and a 5x optical zoom. The Mi 11 Pro comes with a 20-megapixel front camera.
The connectivity options on the Mi 11 Pro are also identical to those of Mi 11 Ultra. The phone also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor and Harmon Kardon stereo speakers.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G specifications
The Mi 11 Lite 5G runs on Android 10 with MIUI 12 on top. It features a 6.55-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. The display supports HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision. The 5G phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G SoC, paired with Adreno 642 GPU, 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage expandable (up to 512GB) via a microSD card.
The Mi 11 Lite 5G has a triple rear camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. It features a 20-megapixel front camera
The most affordable phone in the Mi 11 series comes with a 4,250mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The Mi 11 Lite is also the thinnest and the lightest smartphone in the lineup, measuring 160.53×75.72×6.81mm and weighing 159 grams.
Mi Smart Band 6 price, availability, and specifications
The Mi Band 6 has a larger 1.56-inch (152 x 486 pixels) AMOLED touchscreen display than the Mi Band 5 that comes with a 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display. The Mi Band 6 has a 326ppi pixel density, 450 nits of peak brightness, and is waterproof up to 50 metres. It packs a 125mAh battery claimed to deliver a standby time of up to 14 days.

A 34-year-old man was arrested Friday after he reportedly stole a BMW while intoxicated and was involved in a collision with a motorcyclist.
Benjamin Ramos was charged with intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury, a third-degree felony, unauthorized use of a vehicle, state jail felony, failure to identify giving false or fictitious information, a class B misdemeanor, possession of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor and driving while license invalid, a class B misdemeanor.
The reported collision happened at 10:30 p.m. Friday near the intersection of 42nd Street and Tanglewood Lane, the Odessa Police Department affidavit stated.
Ramos was reportedly driving a blue BMW 328i, while 36-year-old Mckay Valdez was operating a yellow Suzuki motorcycle, the affidavit detailed. Valdez was transported to Medical Center Hospital and an MCH official said over the phone on Monday afternoon that he’s no longer a patient at the hospital.
Ramos reportedly identified himself to officers as Arthur Dominguez, but officers could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from him with very slurred speech. A witness at Wingstop stated a male was highly intoxicated and left the scene in a blue car. The witness also stated they noticed the crash and stopped to tell officers that Ramos was the same male that was at Wingstop.
Ramos was transported to MCH due to the injuries he sustained in the collision, the affidavit stated. He refused consent of blood and while attempting to get his name for a search warrant he spelled Auther Domingues.
Officers located a red and green swisher sweet packet that contained a brown cigarette that had a green leafy substance known to officers as marijuana, the affidavit stated.
Medical staff located a Texas identification card with the name Benjamin Ramos while getting him into a gown, the affidavit stated.
Ramos reportedly had a suspended license for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The license was suspended from Nov. 8, 2017, to Nov. 7, 2019, in El Paso County.
The BMW that Ramos was driving was reported stolen by 27-year-old Richard Carrasco, the affidavit detailed. Carrasco stated he and Ramos has gotten something to eat and after they got back to his residence Ramos left the residence. Carrasco stated he woke up and went outside to smoke and that’s when he saw that his BMW was missing. Carrasco said he didn’t give Ramos permission to drive the car.
Ramos was arrested, charged and transported to Ector County Law Enforcement Center on Sunday, jail records show. He has three bonds totaling $34,000 and was still in custody as of Monday afternoon.

Puberty can be an exciting and terrifying time for any girl! Your body is developing, you’re starting your period, and your mood is probably swinging all over the place. You may not be sure if you’ve really started puberty, especially because it usually begins long before you actually notice it. You can tell if you’re starting puberty when you’re a girl by looking for signs on your body and noticing your changing behaviors and emotions.
Looking for Signs on Your Body
Check for general growth.Have you noticed that you need new clothes, shoes, or other items all of a sudden? When you hit puberty you may gain weight and grow taller. Noticing this type of general growth can cue you to look for more specific signs of puberty.
Recognize body odor.When you go through puberty, your hormones are in overdrive and your sweat glands start becoming more active. Your sweat will start to mix with bacteria, which will cause body odor. Luckily, there are many things you can do to get rid of this unpleasant odor, including:
- Take a shower or bath every day. Scrub your body from top to bottom using warm water and a mild soap.
- Use deodorant or antiperspirant on your underarms every day. Deodorant covers up the unpleasant odor and antiperspirant keeps you from sweating a lot.
- Wear 100% cotton underwear to ensure fresh breathability.
Feel your chest for breast buds.Look at the area around your nipples on your chest. Gently press on this spot with your fingers for small, firm, and tender lumps. If you feel a nickel-sized bump on each side, you’re probably starting to develop breasts
- Most girls start developing breast buds when they’re 9 or 10.
- Don’t worry about checking your breasts by hand. It’s completely normal to explore your body as you develop.
- One bud might develop more quickly than the other as your chest gets bigger.
Check in your underwear for pubic hair.Look at or feel your pubic area, which is around your vagina, with fingers for little hairs. They may be soft and straight or thick, coarse, and curly. Having pubic hair is a sign you’ve started or are about to begin puberty.
- It’s completely normal to examine your vagina or labia for pubic hair.
Stand in front of the mirror to check your shape.In addition to feeling breast buds and seeing pubic hair, you may notice your shape changing. Think about if you’ve noticed your clothes fitting differently, for example. Looking for regular changes to your shape in the mirror can also tell you if you’re starting puberty.Other parts of your body that may get rounder or slightly bigger include:
Wait a year or two for armpit and leg hair.Gently touch under your arms and look at yourself in a mirror to see if you have any hair in your armpits. Also take a close look at your legs. Your leg hair may be getting darker, thicker, and more noticeable. Check for hair in these areas about a year or two after you see pubic hair.
- Armpit and leg hair grow in a pattern similar to pubic hair: it may be sparse and soft at first and then become thicker, darker, and more coarse.
Check for vaginal discharge.Look in your underwear for signs of vaginal discharge a year or two after you get breast buds. You may even feel it in your underwear or between your legs. The discharge might be thin and watery, thick like mucus, or white or off white in color.Having discharge is completely common and normal and a good way to tell you’re going through puberty.
- Let a doctor or trusted person know if your vaginal discharge is not white or off white and smells unusual. This may be a sign of an infection.
Check for genital development.During puberty, your vaginal labia, or "lips", grow slightly largerand may also become darker in color..
- During puberty, your inner labia, or labia minora, will become more prominent.
- You can't see it, but inside your body, your vagina will grow longer and your uterus will become bigger.
Get your first period.Expect your period to start within six months to a year of noticing vaginal discharge.Check for any signs of blood in your underwear or in your vaginal discharge. This can mean that you’re going through puberty and about to have your first period. For many girls, this is often the most exciting and scary part of puberty.
- It’s common for your period to be irregular after you first menstruate.
- You may experience bloating around the time you get your period. When this happens, you’ll feel that your belly is more full or swollen than normal.
- You may have some cramps, backaches, or headaches before and during your period.
Inspect your skin for changes.See if you notice more oil, pimples, or irritation on your skin. As your body changes, so does your skin. Breakouts and oily skin on your face, neck, chest and/or back may also indicate that you’re going through puberty.
- Wash your face with a mild soap or cleanser to get rid of excess oil and keep breakouts at bay.
- Ask your doctor for advice or a prescription medication if your breakouts are severe. It’s completely common to have acne during puberty, but because it’s often an emotional time, breakouts may make problems or feelings worse.
Feeling Different and New Emotions
Keep a journal of your emotions.Write your feelings down every day or whenever you need a little consolation. Hormones gush through your body during puberty and these can change make your emotions. Read through your journal once a week to see if you notice a lot of ups and downs. Changing emotions can help you tell if you are going through puberty.Some emotions you might notice are:
- Feeling uncomfortable with your body’s changes.
- Being sensitive to things people say or do.
- Having intense emotions such as being very jealous of someone when you didn’t care about them before.
- Having less confidence.
- Feeling anxious or even depressed.
- Being more irritable or angry for no reason.
Pay attention to how you think.When you do homework or deal with different situations, notice if you think about or handle them in different ways. These new thought patterns can be a sign you’re starting puberty. Watch for these different types of changes to how you think:
- Understanding harder subjects or responsibilities, such what happens when you don’t do your chores or homework.
- Making more of your own choices, such as knowing when you should stand up for what is right and wrong.
- Knowing what you like and don’t like.
See if you are becoming more distant from your parents.You may have trouble communicating with your parents. Also, you may feel more withdrawn or embarrassed by your parents. Boys also experience similar problems with parents.
Experience curiosity about your body.Wanting to look at and touch your body is a normal part of growing up and going through puberty. You may even be more curious about sex and sexuality as you develop. Explore your body and enjoy masturbation if you want. Both are very normal, common, and nothing about which to be ashamed. They’re also a good way to tell you’re going through puberty.
- Masturbation and touching your own body are completely normal. Neither will make you hair grow on your hands, cause you to go blind or develop emotional problems. It won’t make you unable to have kids, either.
- Ask a trusted person about your interest in your body and masturbation. Don’t be embarrassed, they may have gone through or are experiencing the same feelings!
Welcome feelings of attraction to others.Romantic or sexual feelings are another normal part of being an adult. Notice if you start to have feelings for other people—boys or girls— when you notice other signs of puberty. This can help you further tell if you’re going through puberty.
- Talk to friends, family, or a medical professional if you have questions about attraction, dating, kissing, and sex.

Nicki Minaj is back in the center of controversy after sharing a tweet that some are calling racist–and now some fans are ready to cancel her over it.
In the since-deleted tweet, Minaj used the phrase “the Blacks” to complain about the Black media not supporting her the way the white media does.
“What the white ppl post. >>>>>>,” she wrote on Nov. 5. “The blacks only post the few seconds where I raise my voice to push their narrative.”
The tweet was apparently a jab at Wendy Williams, with whom the rapper has been engaged in an ongoing feud. Williams had a lot to say about the rapper’s engagement to Kenneth Petty, who has a criminal past.
“Now, he served seven years in prison, and he’s also a sex offender,” Williams said on her show, The Wendy Williams Show. “So that means that he—is a manslaughter a killer? Okay, so he’s a killer and a sex offender. Well Nicki, congratulations.”
Minaj shot back at Williams by pointing out that her ex-husband is a known philanderer who is rumored to have fathered a child with his mistress.
“So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life,” Minaj said during her Queen Radio show. “Look at what age you are. You’re sat up there being vicious all this time and paid for that man’s mistress all these years. You paid for her shopping sprees, you paid for her hotels, you probably even paid for her GYN bills, you paid to have that baby delivered, hoe.”
Regardless of who the tweet was directed at, many on Twitter are ready to cancel the retired rapper over her “the Blacks” reference.
“Quote of the day ‘The Blacks’ by Ms. Pedo @NICKIMINAJ Grandma why did you deleted the post? The damage is done,” Twitter user @bardisetlibra wrote, along with a screenshot of Minaj’s original tweet.
Another said the tweet appeared to have been written by a “white racist.”
I think the main issue is her referring to Black (always capatilize the 'B') people as "the blacks" while calling white people as they are. That tweet looked like it was written by a white racist, so it's problematic and she deserves to get called out for it.— Damn, u lit me up // fan account (@_Naomi_D) November 6, 2019
“You know what..I love your music. But the fact that you said ‘white ppl’ and then refer to us as ‘the blacks’ just furthers the idea that ‘blacks’ aren’t people. That’s an idea that goes wayyy back. I’m mad hurt. Unconscious ideas are a mf. You gotta be aware of what you saying,” one fan wrote.

Came across this map inlay for iPhone this week and went on to spend about 30 minutes just perusing the Carved site, quickly becoming obsessed. They make sophisticated, beautiful inlays and covers for both iPhone and iPad, and now I really want one!
They create all their covers by hand, carving and perfecting them in a variety of woods and finishes.
And their custom carving option has led to some seriously legit designs.
Although most of their work makes more of a statement than actually protecting your devices, they do have a clear & wood option for iPhone that wraps the sides as well.

Tales from the Crypt
Tales from the Crypt, sometimes titled HBO’s Tales from the Crypt, is an American horror anthology television series that ran from June 10, 1989 to July 19, 1996 on the premium cable channel HBO for seven seasons with a total of 93 episodes. The title is based on the 1950s EC Comics series of the same name and most of the content originated in that comic or the four other EC Comics of the time. The show was produced by HBO with uncredited association by The Geffen Film Company and Warner Bros. Television. The series is not to be confused with the 1972 film by the same name or Tales from the Darkside, another similarly themed horror anthology series.
Because it was aired on HBO, a premium cable television channel, it was one of the few anthology series to be allowed to have full freedom from censorship by network standards and practices as a result, HBO allowed the series to contain graphic violence as well as other content that had not appeared in most television series up to that time, such as profanity, gore, nudity and sexual situations, which could give the series a TV-MA rating for today’s standards. The show is subsequently edited for such content when broadcast in syndication or on basic cable. While the series began production in the United States, in the final season filming moved to Britain, resulting in episodes which revolved around British characters.

The Greenbelt consists of two million acres of protected land, providing clean air, fresh water and climate resilience to the region. Its protection has extended to 21 major urban river valleys and seven coastal wetlands across the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including Mississauga’s Credit River.
The Credit River is one of only a few urban river valleys in the area, making its addition to the greenbelt especially significant for the Mississauga and Port Credit communities. Brightwater, located along the Port Credit waterfront, is one such community which welcomed the news by inviting government officials and other developers to tour the site.
Flowing 90 kms from Orangeville to Port Credit in Mississauga, the Credit and other river valleys run through cities and towns and act as gateways to the Greenbelt. There is also talk of extending the Greenbelt to encompass more urban river valleys and the Paris-Galt Moraine, a rock formation that stretches across the northwestern Greater Toronto Area. If the plans were to go forward, it would be the largest expansion of the Greenbelt since it was originally created in 2005.
Credit Valley Conservation releases a report every five years to assess the state of the Credit River Watershed. Such reports generally illustrate decline due to reduced natural vegetation and increases in hard surfaces – such as roads and roofs – making protection of the urban river valleys vital to the health of the surrounding communities.
The Credit River is particularly vulnerable because:
– urbanization and population growth is putting stress on the river’s natural features and functions, which will worsen as the number of residents in the Region of Peel increases from 1.4 million in 2016 to 1.8 million by 2031;
– the river’s chloride concentration can reach levels as high as that in a saltwater ocean, which can be detrimental to freshwater plants and animals. This salt can even build up in groundwater, causing year-round water contamination;
– groundwater is a source of drinking water for over 100,000 people in the Credit River Watershed, and its quality ranges from good to very poor;
– ensuring consistent forest cover is crucial, as forests clean the air, store carbon and moderate temperatures. But forest cover is very poor in the southern part of the watershed.
In addition to Credit Valley Conservation’s reports, the Ontario government received 5,500 submissions in support of adding urban river valleys to the Greenbelt.
The Greenbelt Foundation
The Greenbelt Foundation is the only charitable organization devoted strictly to protecting the Greenbelt through research, grants, partnerships, education and investments in its natural, agricultural and economic systems.
An independent charitable organization, the Greenbelt Foundation receives funding from public and private investments. Since inception, it has amassed more than $47 million through investments in farming, environmental protection and tourism.
The foundation’s goal is to create a vibrant, healthy Greenbelt with a protected and restored natural environment, a thriving economy, opportunities for outdoor recreation and urban settlement supporting the integrity of the Greenbelt.
“As climate change becomes a greater reality, our region is expected to experience more frequent and severe major storm events, more extreme heat, periods of prolonged drought, and an irreplaceable loss of biodiversity,” the Greenbelt Foundation stated in a release. “The addition of these waterways to the Greenbelt is an important recognition of the vital role the Greenbelt plays in protecting the hydrological features we rely on for clean drinking water, flood protection and healthy ecosystems.
The foundation noted over nine million people live within 20 kms of the Greenbelt, and in the next 25 years that population is expected to grow to 13.5 million. “The prosperity and livability of the region will be determined to a significant degree by how we utilize natural assets to combat the effects of climate change, protect farmland, support smart community development, ensure critical water supplies and enhance population health.”
The foundation helps build climate resilience throughout the Greenbelt by:
– restoring and enhancing natural systems to improve their ability to withstand and recover from severe weather;
– incorporating green infrastructure to mitigate negative impacts of development on water management, natural heritage and agricultural systems;
– increasing the Greenbelt’s ability to assist in managing storm water runoff, prevent flooding and reduce costs.
Winner of the BILD Pinnacle Award for Best New Community — Planned/Under Development — Brightwater Developments is a 72-acre master-planned community being developed in Port Credit, at the southern edge of the Credit River, which flows through the development into Lake Ontario.
Brightwater hopes to benefit from its proximity to the river, boasting “lakeside tranquility and the calm lapping of water against the shoreline.” The community also includes over 18 acres of public park and open space, as well as trails connected to Lake Ontario, the Waterfront Trail, shops, restaurants, and more.
The Port Credit West Village Partners — consisting of Kilmer Group, DiamondCorp, Dream Unlimited and FRAM + Slokker — are the development team behind the Brightwater community. The group recognized the importance of revitalizing the Credit River and waterfront from the outset, to improve access and recreation opportunities for residents and visitors, while also increasing housing supply.

Genetic algorithm (GA) is a kind of algorithm that simulates the process and the mechanism of the evolution. Because of its unique biologic feature and its suitability to any function, it becomes very popular and has been used in many problems in many fields. Estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is an algorithm that is generated from the GAs. Comparing with GAs, the EDAs replace the crossover and the mutation operations in GAs with learning and sampling the probability distribution of the best individuals of the population at each iteration of the algorithm. Because of its superior, it becomes a hot topic recently. Based on the former researches, this paper mainly focuses on solving the problem of one primary network model named all-terminal network model using the strategies of the evolutionary algorithms.
