It’s been eight years since my last finals week, but I still remember the stress of studying for exams and finishing papers, and feeling like there were not enough hours in each day. I have to imagine the Supreme Court justices experience a similar tension every June as they wrap up their latest term.
As of Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court has 29 cases left to resolve and a quickly approaching deadline. The justices typically finish their business by the end of June, although they’ve spilled over into July for the past two years.
The list of remaining cases includes Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the abortion case at the center of last month’s opinion leak. The opinion draft published by Politico showed that at one point there were enough votes to overturn Roe v. Wade. (Justices are free to change their votes as the majority and dissenting opinions come together.)
There are also two outstanding religion cases: The battle over school funding in Maine and the case of the praying football coach.
If you don’t follow the court closely, you might be surprised to hear the justices’ process for releasing opinions is pretty unpredictable. Reporters, attorneys and other court watchers don’t know ahead of time when a specific case will be decided; the only thing we know ahead of time is whether a given day is marked as an opinion day or not. (But even that is less helpful than it sounds — sometimes the court’s calendar is updated less than 24 hours ahead of time.)
Since Monday was marked as an opinion day, I knew that I needed to check the Supreme Court’s website starting at 8 a.m. MDT to see which decisions were uploaded. The justices ended up releasing three new opinions, none of which were for cases I’m tracking.
Right now, the Supreme Court calendar shows no more opinion days for the rest of June, but that will certainly change soon. Otherwise, the justices will be dealing with a lot more than stress.

Term of the week: Operation Benjamin
Jewish soldiers in World War II often hid their religious identities out of fear of retaliation from German forces or bullying from other Americans. For these reasons and others, many American Jews who died in the war received Christian burials and were buried under Christian crosses, according to The New York Times.
Now, there’s an effort to identify these soldiers and replace the crosses over their graves with Stars of David. The organization Operation Benjamin is a major player in this effort; it identifies American-Jewish soldiers in cemeteries and then tracks down living relatives.
In April, “the group, which started organizing these services four years ago, held its first ceremonies since the start of the pandemic, reconsecrating seven graves at four cemeteries in France, Belgium and Luxembourg,” the Times reported.
What I’m reading ...
The Rev. Deanna Hollas is the first minister of gun violence prevention in the history of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Religion News Service spoke with her last week about recent shootings in Buffalo, New York; Laguna Hills, California; and Uvalde, Texas.
Reporters on the ground in Uvalde have written some absolutely beautiful articles about how faith leaders are working to help the community heal. My favorite came from The Washington Post: “Funeral after funeral, Uvalde’s only Catholic priest leans on faith.”
In her latest column for The New York Times, the Rev. Tish Harrison Warren offers her case for sticking with your spouse through the good times and the bad ones.
Odds and ends
Scholar and author Kate Bowler tweeted a beautiful blessing “for when today already feels like too much.”
If you’ve ever turned to a beloved movie, TV show or YouTube clip for comfort during a time of crisis, I urge you to read this essay by filmmaker Ted Geoghegan about how “Bob’s Burgers” carried his family through the loss of baby twins.
Last week, I wrote about a fascinating survey on friendship from Public Religion Research Institute. Because my article focused primarily on the race-related findings, I didn’t get a chance to highlight some really interesting faith-related data. Here are a few of the interesting data points that were left on the cutting-room floor:
- One-quarter of Americans said they don’t discuss religion with any of their closest friends.
- Republicans (39%) are more likely than Democrats (23%) to discuss religion with their social network.
- Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults (74%) are at least somewhat satisfied with their current level of involvement in religious organizations.

President Donald Trump’s decision to hold a meeting in Washington with Taliban leaders and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to try to solidify a peace deal to end the 18-year-long war was first discussed about a week ago, according to U.S. officials and others briefed on the discussion.
The idea raised Sept. 1 during a Situation Room meeting with the president was vehemently opposed by national security adviser John Bolton, even as officials at the State Department argued it could move the parties closer to an agreement, officials said.
Bolton had an ally in Vice President Mike Pence, who also made the case against a meeting at Camp David, a location Trump suggested, officials said. Bolton and Pence were in Warsaw together around the time of the internal discussions.

Among the concerns of administration officials who opposed the meeting was that it might take place around the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the officials and people familiar with the matter said. Pence argued at one point that such a meeting could send the wrong message to members of the U.S. military who have fought — and been killed by — the Taliban for years, one senior administration official said.

The 30-year-old NY man who was evicted from his parents' home by a judge after they took him to court has moved out two and a half hours before his court-ordered deadline.
Michael Rotondo honked and waved to reporters Friday morning as he pulled out of the driveway of his parents' home in Camillus, New York.
Michael Rotondo, 30, prepares to leave his parents' house in Camillus, N.Y., Friday, June 1, 2018.
News crews recorded him packing up a pickup truck this week.
Rotondo tells TMZ. he called the cops on his father in the midst of the moving process because his dad refused to hand over some toys he wanted to pack for his child - yes, Michael has a son.
Officers arrived and the Lego bricks were found in the meantime, the newspaper said.
Rotondo made national headlines this month after his parents successfully sued to have him ordered by a judge to vacate their home.

White House comes out fighting on Roseanne racism row
By that afternoon, ABC had canceled its highly watched revival of the "90s hit " Roseanne ", which had earned favorable reviews. The show scored huge ratings and was renewed for an 11th season after largely positive reviews - including from the president.
During the court case, Mr Rotondo, who represented himself, argued he should be allowed to live with his parents for another six months. Rotondo is still a little ticked at his parents, though, who've been trying to get him out of the house since February, and apparently feels a bit rushed.
The move caps a brief rush of celebrity for Rotondo, whose parents pleaded with him to move out and get a job and even offered him money to leave.
"I gotta get going before that thing blows up", he said.
Michael - who hauled dozens of boxes of his junk into a storage facility Wednesday and Thursday - now plans to crash at an Airbnb he booked for about week until he can find something more permanent.
He gave an extensive interview to the Daily Mail about his 8-year-old son, claiming his problems with his parents stem from his attempts to regain custody rights to the boy.
"Get one - you have to work!" "I can't have my phone getting jammed up with nonsense like that", Rotondo said as police responded to his complaint.
Greenwood ruled in favour of Rotondo's parents, Mark and Christina, setting into motion the 30-year-old's eviction. "I don't have to guess what's behind Door No. 1".

Chance to have say on Secret Cinema plansPopular event company’s summer sports ground plans to come under scrutiny, reports by Victoria Munro, Local Democracy Reporter Waltham Forest [...]
Popular event company’s summer sports ground plans to come under scrutiny, reports by Victoria Munro, Local Democracy Reporter
Waltham Forest residents have until Sunday to give their views on contentious plans to hold “immersive” film screenings at a Walthamstow sports ground throughout the summer.
Despite objections, events company Secret Cinema was last month granted a licence for screenings at Low Hall Sports Ground, almost daily from 5th July until 12th September this year.
But the company now needs planning permission to install 142 temporary structures, including a 16-metre-high screen, with work at the ground in South Access Road due to start in mid-June and last from 8am-8pm for three weeks.
The company plans to hold one outdoor screening every day of the week except Mondays, with tickets ranging from £49 to £89 and performances ending at 10.30pm.
At a licensing committee meeting last month, opponents of the scheme urged councillors to reject the application, arguing that preserving access to open space for the public was more important.
Objector Isla Johns said: “A large number of children would have their activity and exercise space removed for the entire school summer holiday and almost all warm weather weekends either side.
“There are certainly reasons to support events in green spaces but this application deprives the community during the day in order to serve its premium client base at night.”
John Mannion, from Coppermill Swifts FC, warned the placement of the site will make most, if not all, of the ground’s football pitches unusable.
On behalf of Secret Cinema, Rob Haworth told the committee the company was still waiting to hear how many sports pitches the event would displace and would find alternatives in the borough for those that were.
Responding to residents’ concerns, he said: “We completely understand we could be perceived as a big problem for the area over the summer and that’s the last thing we want.
“I’m not going to pretend there’s no impact from what we are proposing but I believe we can limit those impacts.”
The planning application submitted to the council provides more details about how the site will be constructed, with work expected to start on Monday 14th June.
The company estimates it will take “approximately three weeks” to build the temporary site and that there will be another week for rehearsals before the first screening on Wednesday 14th July.
The first set of screenings will end on Sunday 1st August, followed by a four-day “changeover” and ten days of preparation and rehearsals, before a new set of screenings starts on Wednesday 18th August.
The application states that “noisy” works, that can be heard outside the site, will last from 8am-8pm, although “quiet” works may take place 24 hours a day.
The application adds: “Staff involved in these activities… will be made aware of the type of ‘common sense’ precautions they should be taking to minimise noise.”
The company’s application also includes a set of testimonials from previous performances, including its own 2016 summer programme in Leyton Jubilee Park. The council’s head of culture and visitor services at the time, Lorna Lee, described working with Secret Cinema as “a real pleasure”.
Lorna said in 2016: “As well as being enjoyed by hundreds of local residents, the quality of the Secret Cinema brand attracted many new visitors to Waltham Forest, boosting the local economy and raising the profile of the borough.”
Residents have until Sunday 14th February to give their views on the application: Visit builtenvironment.walthamforest.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=48792


Barrington Patterson has told how he is helping the homeless in the West Midlands - after giving his own boots to one man.
The kickboxer and bodybuilder moved to Coventry at the age of 17 and has spent much of his life here, working on the doors at the city’s toughest clubs.
Now, the reformed hooligan - known as One-Eyed Baz - and wife Tracey have been collecting donations for the needy including sleeping bags, coats and socks.
The couple teamed up with the Midlands Langar Society for the initiative, according to the Birmingham Mail.
They collect clothes every day and hand them out to those in need in the city centre on Tuesday nights - and have so far helped 150 people.
Reformed Birmingham City hooligan Baz told how he decided to support the community where he grew up after a chance meeting.
He said: “One day I got talking to a homeless man. It was freezing cold and raining.
“I looked down, he had holes in his shoes so I gave him my winter boots and bought some trainers to get me home.
“After getting a lot of requests from different charities for help to attend events I decided that, with help of friends, we could collect clothing to support the homeless.”
Tracey added: “We are currently collecting sleeping bags, coats and socks ready for the winter for our homeless people in Birmingham.
“We feel that giving people a helping hand goes a long way. Lots of people are homeless for many reasons: addiction, abuse, debt.”
Baz is the author of ‘One-Eyed Baz: The True Story of Barrington ‘Zulu’ Patterson’ and played a part in ‘The Guvnors’ film (see above video).
He said: “I have supported many things. A young man who was terminally ill had a birthday coming up, so I arranged for five sports cars to take him and his children for a day out.”
The former kickboxer also arranged to take kids with cancer to watch Birmingham City from an executive box and put on prom transport for a group of school leavers.
He said: “I am just enjoying what I am doing supporting people in my own community.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has decided the military should prosecute an Afghan detainee, held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for allegedly hiding and storing mines to be used against American forces, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.
The decision to have the man, who goes by the sole name Obaidullah, face possible military charges was revealed in a Justice Department filing with a U.S. appeals court that is weighing issues related to his request to be freed from the Guantanamo prison.
The Pentagon must now decide whether to refer charges to a formal military commission, according to the filing.
When President Barack Obama came into office last year, he ordered a review of all the detainees held at the controversial facility to determine who would be released and who would be referred for prosecution in criminal or military courts.
Obaidullah is the sixth prisoner referred to the military by the Obama administration as part of its bid to close the Guantanamo prison. Held there since 2002, he challenged his detention with a habeas corpus petition in a U.S. civil court.
He was initially charged by military prosecutors in 2008 for possessing mines and other explosives in the Khost area of Afghanistan from October 2001 to July 2002. Obaidullah was also accused of carrying a notebook that included instructions on how to use them.
In an administrative hearing in 2005 to justify Obaidullah’s detention at Guantanamo, U.S. military officers said more than 20 anti-tank mines were found at his family’s home near Khost and were intended for use against U.S. forces.
Obaidullah said the mines belonged to a commander who lived in the house while Afghanistan was under Soviet rule, according to a transcript.
He said the Taliban government forced him to attend a technical school to learn about mines, where he made the notes in the notebook, but that he left after two days and went into hiding from the Taliban.
In November, the Justice Department said five other Guantanamo prisoners would be tried in revamped military tribunals. They were overhauled to ban the use of coerced testimony and make it harder for hearsay to be used.
Those already facing the military tribunals include the alleged mastermind of a 2000 attack on the USS Cole warship in Yemen, Abd al-Rahim al Nashiri, and a young Canadian, Omar Khadr, who was accused of killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan.

Made in Abyss feels like an anime/manga ripe for a game adaptation, especially given its almost Happy Tree Friends-esque combination of cute visuals with incredibly disturbing violence. We finally got that adaptation in the laboriously named Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, which manages to be quite a mixed bag. There are very good reasons to pick this game up and there are equally good reasons to pass on it; whether or not it’s worth your time will likely depend on how much of a fan you are of the series.
The narrative in Made in Abyss closely adheres to the premise of the series, which is set in a society built around an enormous abyss in the middle of the ocean. Nobody knows exactly how deep the abyss goes or what awaits at the bottom, but all sorts of powerful artifacts and riches have been found within on expeditions, which makes ‘Cave Raider’ one of the most coveted and respected professions around.
You play as Riko, a young girl whose mother was one of the most renowned Cave Raiders ever until her disappearance and apparent death in the abyss. Inspired by this legacy, Riko wishes to become a Cave Raider herself, and this desire is intensified when a mysterious letter evidently written by her mother comes from the abyss and beckons Riko to come find her. Aided by an amnesiac robot boy named Reg who seems to have an important history within the abyss, Riko thus sets out on a journey to reach the very bottom and reconnect with her mother.
Made in Abyss is excellent at setting up the intrigue and danger of the titular void; it feels like just about anything could be waiting down below and the writers do a great job of getting the viewer to want to see Riko and Reg descend further to start getting answers to some of the questions set up relatively early in the narrative. The problem here, however, is that the story only goes up until the 8th episode of the anime and then abruptly stops, which feels especially odd given that the first season was already completed a few years before this game came along. What’s here makes a fine enough narrative, then, but just cutting things off with no closure so relatively soon after Riko and Reg begin their adventure feels sloppy and awkward.
Gameplay in Made in Abyss feels like a survival action game by way of Etrian Odyssey, forcing you to juggle things like hunger, carry weight, equipment durability, and various other factors as you plot your course deeper into the darkness. The basic loop consists of you grabbing a few quests in town, stocking up on necessary equipment and materials, going on a run into the abyss, then returning to cash in and start it all over again. While in the abyss, you’ll have to watch out for cliffs, traps, hostile wildlife, and the mysterious ‘Curse of the Abyss’ slowing you down as you try to ascend again. Even the smallest mistakes you make can prove to be costly, if not fatal, making each journey into the abyss thrilling and tense.
Experience isn’t gained in combat, but through turning in quests. Each level-up gives you one skill point that can then be invested into an extensive skill tree encompassing various traits that are necessary for an accomplished Cave Raider. Whether you want to focus on, say, climbing ability or cooking knowledge is up to you, and every upgrade feels suitably effective at evening the odds a bit and making each run slightly less brutal. Turn in enough quests, and you’ll eventually raise your character to higher Whistle Ranks, which unlocks more powerful nodes on the skill tree and gives you more dangerous quests to pick from that will send you even deeper into the abyss.
Once it finds its footing, we found this gameplay design to be quite enjoyable. Combat may feel a little sluggish given that swinging around a pickaxe or rolling to the side always feel a little too heavy, but much of your time will be spent simply trying not to starve or fall to your death. Whether you’re harvesting resources or rappelling down sheer cliffs, you never feel completely ‘safe’ while out on a run in the abyss, which makes it that much sweeter when you successfully complete one and get some tasty rewards for pulling it off.
The problem, however, is that you can’t really experience much of this gameplay for the first several hours. See, Made in Abyss is divided into two modes, Hello Abyss and Deep in Abyss; the former follows the story of the anime, while the latter sees you creating your own character and going through a non-canon new narrative made for this game. You can’t play Deep in Abyss at all until you’ve played through Hello Abyss in its entirety, which wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t an utterly joyless borefest.
Though it’s fun to get to know Riko and friends, Hello Abyss plays like a three to five-hour stripped-back tutorial that somehow maintains the brutality of Deep in Abyss mode with none of its fun. Almost any avenue that would create some sense of player agency is watered down to the point of being irrelevant; you can’t level up Riko at all, the quest system is barely present, and weapon durability doesn’t matter. Exploration is pointless because there’s no gear crafting system here, and combat is substantially easier because Reg fights almost every nearby enemy before you can get too close.
Yet even given all this stripped-back, ‘easy’ gameplay, there are still plenty of instances where the game decides to just slap you in the face. Walking the only path through dark woods? Here’s a hidden spike trap that instantly kills Riko. Want to walk up those stairs? Better stop for a minute in the middle or Riko will throw up all over her boots. Tap the wrong button while climbing? Watch Riko simply let go of the wall and fall to her death. Hello Abyss is still certainly easier than Deep in Abyss, but it feels like the developers sat around a whiteboard and tried to brainstorm ways to make this mode as irritating as possible.
The biggest issue with Made in Abyss is that it feels in many ways like two similar partially finished games that would have been much better if they were simply combined into one. Hello Abyss offers a compelling but abridged adaptation of the anime while the gameplay is bizarrely neutered and a complete slog to get through. Deep in Abyss feels more like a proper game, offering up a full suite of survival and RPG mechanics, but the non-canon story is much shallower and you can’t even touch this mode until you’ve completely cleared Hello Abyss. Why were most of the gameplay mechanics stripped out of Hello Abyss? Why can’t you play Deep in Abyss right from the get-go? Why are there two distinct modes at all?
We’ve never experienced a game as bafflingly organized as Made in Abyss—it feels like it intentionally tries to make its good parts difficult to access by first forcing you to play and beat a frustrating, watered-down, and overall worse version of itself. It’s an enjoyable game eventually, but the road to unlock the part that’s actually fun is long enough to be prohibitive. Of course, this naturally leads to the question: Is it even worth pushing through Hello Abyss to play the full game? It is, but players shouldn’t have to endure such a detour for no good reason, and it substantially drags down the whole experience of Made in Abyss.
In terms of presentation, Made in Abyss does a decent job of matching the visuals and aesthetic of the anime, though this comes at the unfortunate cost of poor performance. Character models are nicely detailed and the environments feel suitably claustrophobic and dangerous, but things are dragged down quite a bit when more than three enemies come into the area and the FPS itself dives into the abyss. It’s not unplayable, but the frame rate hiccups were sufficient enough to negatively affect the gameplay in our experience.
As for the sound, the voice cast does a solid job of bringing these characters to life, even though they’re not always given the best script. Players who want it can also have the option to switch to Japanese, and the cast here is similarly skilled in animating the characters. Meanwhile, the soundtrack doesn’t do much to leave an impression on you, but it at least manages to be tonally consistent with whatever may be happening onscreen.
Made in Abyss is an odd game to recommend; the gameplay is great once you unlock the mode that actually features it, but until then you’re stuck having to trudge through a stripped-down, too-long-for-what-it-is easy mode that isn’t actually easy. If you aren’t willing to do that, you won't get to play the actual game that makes the price tag worth it. For those who do make it past that hurdle, the survival mechanics are well-implemented, the character progression is satisfying, and this is overall a perfectly enjoyable release. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend you pick up Made in Abyss, nor would we say you should pass on it outright; it’s an interesting game with plenty of redeeming qualities, but it’s gonna make you work to see them in ways that feel unnecessary.

BBC's mobile web site, much loved by all, has had a big facelift, with plusher micro-graphics by default and a more modern design, driven by the fact that the Beeb recognised that data costs had come down a lot and that they didn't have to be quite so minimalist anymore. Screenshots and the link below.
What?! this is a shocker...the BBC extracting themselves from thier little love in with the iPhone/iPod and actually serving the MAJORITY of thier licence payers?
This is a complete suprise seeing as last year they trialed a daily news video podcast that was only availiable via iTunes (unless you imported it into iTunes and got the rss feed data from there seeing as there was no reason to limit it to iPods in the first place apart from laziness) or thier exclusive iPhone/IPod Touch radio interface and last weeks anouncement of the iPhone iPlayer pages and video streaming. Their excuse for that? They needed handsets that had a web browser so they didn't need to build a client...last I checked most Symbian phones and Windows Mobiles had browsers so try again BBC.

We went here one day for lunch because it was recommended to us. My daughter (3 yo) doesn't eat many things so my husband ordered the shredded pork platter so everyone could have some. My 5 yo loves food so we weren't surprised to see him munch it down but my 3 yo couldn't get enough. She loves the food and all the different sauces that we tried. The owner is american and very friendly, he was great with the kids. The place is very friendly, casual, good people watching but it is the food you will go back for.

Mercedes-AMG has unveiled a new four-door coupe concept at the Geneva motor show, previewing a new model which will further extend the AMG GT family.
Sporting a pair of extra rear doors the AMG GT Concept retains the sleek roofline and slender taillights of its coupe sibling but sports a revised front fascia and new center exhaust tip integrated into a deeper rear diffuser. Being a concept, those massive wheels filling entire wheel arches aren’t a surprise but the flushed door handles ala Tesla style are something new that aren’t found in the production GT coupe.
The AMG GT Concept debuts a new F1-inspired performance hybrid powertrain that combines the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine found in the road-going AMG GT coupe with a high output electric motor. Power is channeled to all four wheels via the company’s 4MATIC all wheel drive system. Mercedes says the new hybrid system offers the opportunity to generate a total output of up to 600kW in its final tune, allowing the four-door GT to cover the sprint from 0-100km/h in less than 3 seconds.
The dynamic fastback will be highly suitable for everyday use thanks to the large tailgate and the variable interior and luggage compartment, says the German car maker. The electric motors will also allow for “impressive” guilt-free electric-only range.
Calling the Porsche Panamera, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and Audi RS7 as rivals, the Mercedes-AMG GT four-door coupe will be the sole hybrid entry in the mix but it’s likely that Mercedes will also offer a twin-turbo V6 to a lesser model to compete against the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe and Audi S7.

A doctor's guidance may reassure us more than we realize -especially if she says she is likely to recommend treatment in her field of expertise, known as "specialty bias."
Doing research in a real-world health care setting, a Cornell expert and her colleagues have found that when surgeons revealed their bias toward their own specialty, their patients were more likely to perceive them as trustworthy. And patients are more apt to follow their recommendation to have surgical treatment. The research was published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study has important implications for professional advisers of any stripe and policymakers who deal with disclosure rules, said Sunita Sah, a physician and assistant professor of management and organizations at Cornell's Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management.
"If an adviser discloses a bias, it should alert the recipient to some uncertainty regarding the quality of the advice. 'Perhaps I need to discount this a little bit.' Disclosure of bias, if anything, should decrease the weight that patients put on their physicians' recommendations," said Sah, an expert on conflicts of interest and disclosure. "But, instead, we find that patients report increased trust and they are more likely to take the physician's treatment than patients who do not hear their physician disclose a bias."
Sah and her colleagues based their findings on 219 transcripts of conversations between surgeons and male patients in four Veterans Affairs hospitals in which the surgeon revealed a diagnosis of localized prostate cancer to the patient. While discussing treatment options, some surgeons freely admitted to having a bias toward their own specialty, with statements such as, "I'm a surgeon, so I'm biased toward recommending surgery." Patients who heard their surgeon disclose their specialty bias were nearly three times more likely to decide to have surgery than patients who did not hear their surgeons disclose a bias.
The researchers also conducted a randomized lab experiment. In this study, 447 men watched video clips of an actor portraying a surgeon, who described two treatment options: surgery and radiation. In the "disclosure" group, the men heard the actor disclose his bias towards surgery, similar to the surgeons in the Veteran Affairs hospitals. The control group saw the same video, except for the bias disclosure. The men who heard the disclosure were more likely to choose surgery than the control group and reported higher trust in the doctor's expertise.
Sah and her colleagues also found that surgeons who disclosed bias toward their specialty or discussed a potential meeting with a radiologist oncologist for radiation treatment tended to give stronger recommendations for surgery.
"Bias disclosure can have a profound influence on adviser recommendations and the choices their advisees make," said Sah. "Professional advisers and policymakers should implement such disclosures with care."

I have written multiple times about the battle between rideshare companies like Uber and their battle with taxi companies. Specifically, I wrote in May about the new legislation passed by the city council, which regulates the rideshare companies by requiring minimum insurance, caps on surge pricing and background checks for its drivers, among others.
The state version of rideshare legislation has passed both the House and Senate and is currently sitting on Governor Quinn’s desk. The state version, which can be read here, is viewed to be much more far-reaching in it’s’ regulation. It would include that all drivers obtain a chauffer’s license. The sponsor of the bill, Mike Zalewski, told Crain’s magazine “I applaud Uber for wanting to grow its business in Chicago. There is no reason why that cannot happen with this law in place to put customer safety first, as supported by a strong bi-partisan majority of the Illinois House and Senate. I hope the governor will sign it into law soon.” Zalewski believes that the regulations are in the best interest safety and welfare of the commuting public.
Meanwhile, Uber announced this month that they plan a huge expansion in Chicago that would add 500 new well paid jobs. They are urging Governor Quinn via social media and other avenues to veto the rideshare bill.
The questions remains for me: what is the best protection for the commuters and for pedestrians? It seems to me that the city legislation that passed in May was a good compromise. It required that companies like Uber increase their insurance coverage to protect injured passengers in case a significant car crash or pedestrian accident. It will be interesting to see what Governor Quinn does in this case and whether he decides to veto. I will be watching this closely and will report and write about it once any news breaks.

Kathmandu, Nov 6 : A newly formed two party mechanism of the Maoist and the UML have drew the attention of the Prime Minister Prachanda to make Vice President Permananda Jha's statement comprehensible, claiming it was unconstitutional.
A meeting of the two party mechanisms which was held at UML Constituent Assembly (CA) office in Singhadurbar this morning expressed differences over the Vice President's statement.
The mechanism suggested Prachanda to take decision by consulting with other parties on the remark of the Vice President.
On Wednesday, Jha had accused the President of ignoring the responsibility of following the constitution and stated that the political parties violated the CA.
He had also remarked that the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) was formed against the spirit of interim constitution and expressed surprise over the apathy towards taking action against violators despite continuous infringing of the interim statute.
He expressed discontent over lack of role to the Vice President in the political happenings, said that provisions of the interim constitution was violated by forming the integration committee without representation of the major political parties as mentioned in the statute.
Jha said that he was bewildered for his unclear role due to lack of law, Kantipur reported.

Me Decortis is praised for her unrivalled advocacy skills, her unbending will to succeed as well as her ability to handle clients with sensitivity.
She knows when to have a fight and when to have people listen to you and like you”
“Persuasive and appropriately firm in her advocacy, making her a fearsome opponent”
“Her approachable manner puts clients at ease”
Maître Decortis practice encompasses all procedures of criminal law, defending presumed perpetrators as well as victims.
She has extensive experience in all courts.
The firm's files relate to all types of offenses, from common criminal law to family criminal law as well as milder contraventions in police court.
Maître Decortis will assist you in any French-speaking court in Belgium.
She is fluent in English.
The role of criminal lawyer is not limited to pleading before the Criminal Court. He or She advises, informs and assists the client throughout the procedure, before, during and after the trial.
I received a summons to be heard by the police. Can I be assisted by my lawyer?
Yes and no. The rights a person enjoys in the event of a hearing depend on their status in the context of that hearing.
The "Salduz" law entered into force on January 1, 2012.
Before being heard by the police, a person always has the right to consult his or her lawyer.
If you want to know more about the Salduz law, click here .
A relative has just been placed in detention. What to do ? How to help him/her?
If a person is placed in preventive detention by an investigating judge (juge d'instruction), the presence of a lawyer is essential ... and urgent!
First of all, it will be necessary to draw the lines of a defense strategy as quickly as possible.
Nothing is more damaging than a turnaround in defense strategy along the way!
The detained person will appear within five days before another judge (in the Council Chamber) who will decide whether or not to keep him/her detained.
If this judge decides to keep him/her in detention, he/she will appear again in front of that Chamber a month later and so on.
It is possible to appeal the decision of the judge of the Council Chamber.
Before the judge of the Council Chamber or before the investigating judge, Maître Decortis will do everything to avoid prison or to get out as quickly as possible. By discussing with the detained person and with his/her family, and depending on the offenses he/she is accused of, we can offer a reasonable and serious alternative to prison: conditions, bail ...
Victim of a criminal offense
You are or have been the victim of an assault, theft, a fraud ...
You or a loved one has been the victim of an act of terrorism ... The recent dramatic history in Europe has led to several legislative measures - see here.
Fatalism and impunity are out of the question!
I filed a complaint with the police. Is it sufficient ?
What if "nothing moves"?
How to take a more active part in the investigation?
You may have already lodged a complaint with the police. This is a first step.
If you have the feeling that "nothing is moving", you have the possibility of influence the investigation and the future trial ("constitution de partie civile"). You will be able to regularly take note of the evolution of the investigation, request investigative measures, ...
A civil party can either launch an investigation or be added to an investigation already in progress.
Maître Decortis will guide you, write the necessary documents, and represent you before the courts.
I have been notified of the trial of my attacker. What should I do ?
Will I be automatically compensated at the end of it?
Do I have to attend the trial?
You will be notified of a trial if you have been a victim.
However, to assert your rights during the trial, you must be a "civil party".
If you did not become a civil party at the investigation stage, there is still time to do so at trial. To do this, you need to draw up a written procedural document. Me Decortis will help you do this.
During the trial, she will fight alongside the prosecutor in establishing the guilt of the perpetrator(s).
And finally, she will assist the victim in assessing the damage and claim compensation: material damage, moral damage, incapacity for work, cosmetic damage, household ... Please remember to collect all the documents necessary to establish this damage. The more your file will be documented, the more you will have the chance to see the author(s) ordered to pay you the amounts claimed.
Once the trial is over, how do I actually get my compensation?
Once the conviction is final, it is still necessary to have it executed. A variety of civil actions exist: seizure of wages or unemployment benefits, seizure of property ...
The intervention of a "huissier de justice" will generally be essential.
If the perpetrator(s) is/are completely insolvent, for example in the event of imprisonment or lack of income and / or seizable property, there will remain the Assistance Fund for Victims of Intentional Acts of Violence with which Maître Decortis will help you prepare a file.
In some cases, you will have to be patient to recover the sums ...
Do I have my say, as a victim, on the prison sentence of the perpetrator (s)?
No. The victim, a civil party, has a dual role during the trial: that of participating in the manifestation of the truth and of considering that the facts are established on the one hand, and that of obtaining compensation, in the form of financial compensation.
The sentence of imprisonment will be the matter of the judge, on requisition of the Public Prosecutor.
On the other hand, the victim has a say in the way in which the sentence will be carried out, by making your compensation one of the conditions for possible early release. You have a formidable pressure instrument!
Maître Decortis will represent you before the Court for the Application of Penalties.

San Mateo California History
In San Mateo County in the United States, the history of transportation over the last 200 years has been a race to travel farther and faster.
Since the county was founded in 1856, San Mateo County's population and traffic on its roads have increased. While the cities to the south have barely grown, the cities to the north have grown particularly strongly. The 1906 earthquake, followed by a series of earthquakes in San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland, led to the incorporation of many of these cities. In the early 20th century, it became a major transportation hub for people working in and around San Francisco, using railroads, roads, and other means of transportation, all of which were built to provide people with access to work and travel to and from San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Oakland, and elsewhere in California.
Back then, the average wage for workers was $1.00 a day, and fares from San Mateo to San Francisco were 75 cents. The first passenger train west of the Mississippi was the first of its kind in the United States, from Chicago to New York City. The car culture changed the local landscape, as asphalt roads allowed people to drive in and out of San Mateo County. Trams allowed middle-class families to live in San Jose, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles or elsewhere in California, all of which took two hours and 20 minutes. In the middle of the 20th century, the city developed into an important industrial centre with a population of about 1,500,000 people, along with railways and other means of transport.
Spanish missionaries developed the area of San Mateo - Burlingame into farms to support their mission in San Francisco. Two years later, Ensign took over the Spring Valley Waterworks (which later became the company), which then bought farms and hotels in San Matildao County, as well as a number of other businesses.
Everything south of the line became the new San Mateo County, while everything north of it became San Matildao County (and in some cases San Francisco County). In the mid-1960s, San Matea County was organized as the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District under a law introduced by Senator T.G. Phelps, and its voters created a series of county-run parks and other open spaces managed by the Peninsula Open Space Trust, which owns the protected space. In 1969, San Matei County voters also created the Midpen Peninsula Regional Open Space District, with the goal of being the largest open space district in the state of California and the second largest in California.
The county is home to several endangered species, including the California Ridgway Rail, the Elfin Eel, which is endemic to San Mateo County, and the critically endangered Californiaridgways Rail, which is found in San Francisco Bay and other parts of the state. There is an adjacent marine reserve and several streams in and around the county, such as Santa Cruz Creek and San Pablo Creek. The county also has several creek systems in its catchment area, including San Matildao Creek, San Jose Creek (the second largest in California) and Laurel Creek, all endemic to SanMatildaao County.
In 1923, San Mateo County had about 40,000 people, and the city of San Mateo had about 6,000. This report was published in the July 23, 1923 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, a Bay Area newspaper.
After their East Coast counterparts began to leave the increasingly polluted city, many of San Francisco's elites commuted and built large estates in the Bay Area. He traveled to San Diego to explore Monterey, but discovered San Francisco Bay instead.
Today, the site, located on Arroyo Court near the San Mateo Library, is marked by a historic plaque of the State of California. Tom Gaman received a copy of a letter to the editor from the San Matea County Historical Association in 1903.
Spanish colonists who documented this early history held it in the hands of the San Mateo County Historical Association and the State of California for more than a century.
Several local geographical features refer to San Mateo as a headland that juts out into the Pacific, including a settlement called arroyo or "headland," including the settlement of Rancho Santa Maria at the mouth of San Francisciquito Creek, which once stretched from SanFrancisco Creek in Palo Alto. In fact, the ranch was the first settlement in the present-day city of San Mateos to include the current San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Clara counties. Matthew appears in the place name already in 1776 and so on early maps.
Serra was located at the mouth of San Francisciquito Creek near the modern-day city of Palo Alto, south of the border with San Mateo County.
The county of San Mateo had owned and operated the land as a public park since 1944, and in 1947 the land was sold to them to turn it into a historic park. The choice of the county seat fluctuated in the first years after the consolidation of the county administration. In 1947, when the state of California also had problems with water rights, it was able to sell them to the county. San Matador County regulators, however, rejected the proposal, citing the existing South Pacific rail link to San Francisco and the need for a new site for the city of Palo Alto and its new town halls and office buildings.

Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Canadian, Sam Panopoulos in 1962. It is also the most popular pizza served in Australia, accounting for 15% of all gross pizza sales. Generally it's tomato sauce based, with ham and pineapple. I'm not sure what percent is sold in the U.S. but my guess is that it probably ranks somewhere in the top 5 behind cheese and pepperoni. Ironically, the frigid weather this week had me thinking a lot about Hawaii! Perhaps Mr. Panopoulos traveled to Hawaii to escape the winter blues and find his inspiration for pineapple pizza.
Here is our rendition of Sam's Hawaiian Pizza.
1 no knead pizza dough
2 slices of pre-cooked bacon
4 oz of tomato sauce
1 cup fresh cut pineapple
4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
1.At least 2 hours prior to preparing your pizza, allow dough to rest for 2 hours at room temperature. Place Baking Steel on top rack. Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees or on full throttle.
2. Stretch or roll out dough to a 12 inch cylinder, or any shape will do. Lightly flour your peel and place dough on top.
3. Lighly coat the dough with tomato sauce, then sprinkle chopped bacon, pineapple and fresh mozzarella cheese.
4. Carefully launch pizza onto Baking Steel
5. Bake for 6-8 minutes -
Slice and serve.
1 cup water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
4 or 5 peppers of your choice
Combine the water, vinegar, sugar and salt in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add sliced peppers and stir for a few seconds until peppers are fully submerged. Allow to cool at room temperature and drain until the peppers are just covered. Store peppers in a covered container for up to 2 months. ( I never get passed one day). These are great on sandwiches or scrambled eggs.

President Trump criticized California Gov. Jerry Brown (D). He claimed that the state's water management policies were the reason for the wildfires. He further stated that "vast amounts of water coming from the North" was "foolishly being diverted into the Pacific Ocean." His tweets further a Republican platform which argues that environmental polices such as the Endangered Species Act make it harder for California to hold onto its water. However, fire officials had generally not complained that running out of water was an issue fighting the blazes.

Recently a friend shared with a software company he had come across that he thought was changing the way we were being productive in the workplace. The company is called RoboWorx Inc. and they are incorporating a system using bots. Yes, that’s right, little robots that are not only changing the way we are working, but also simple tasks that keep us staring at our computer day after day and wishing we could do something else. You may wonder how they do this?
By using what’s called RPA or Robotic Process Automation, it allows anyone to configure computer software to emulate and integrate the actions we use within our digital systems. The RPA robot will utilize the user interface to capture data and then manipulates these applications just like we do. They trigger responses and communicate with other systems to perform these repetitive tasks that many of us don’t like to do. An RPA software robot does not sleep, costs a lot more money than hiring an employee and makes zero mistakes! It almost seems too good to be true!
RoboWorx is not only helping to change our day to day operations but also various departments within the company such as our Human Resources. According to Deloitte’s 2017 Global Human Capital Trends study, almost half of HR global shared services executives believe that RPA will help deliver 10 to 2 percent savings to their businesses. Generation Z popular the workforce in greater numbers and the employee experience is becoming even more critical. These next generations are growing up with increased access to technology making it available in simpler and easier in their lives which means that as the employee experience is changing, the business needs to adapt as well. Some of the HR processes that the robots can execute are resume filtering, new hire offer letters, new hire on-boarding, benefits administration, change of address, time and attendance and much more.
How will these robots help impact HR? Any organization that is ready to deploy an RPA solution will need to involve their HR early within the process of installation. The role of HR is critical to ensure the success of the automation. One of the very first priorities that HR will be is staff communication. The employees need to understand why the organization is making this change and what the direct impact will be on them and their daily tasks. Setting the right tone and expectations about how these robots are there to enhance their productivity and not ‘replace’ their job will be key to successfully use this program.
As the RPA solution is deployed, the roles of the existing employees will evolve and change. The hiring managers will find that they will have more time to focus on their ‘wish’ list projects and can rely on HR to help them define objectives, re-shape job description, evolve organizational structures and plan for the future growth of the company. Also, the employees will probably need new skill trainings as they move onto higher level roles within the business. The RPA and HR professionals will have to incorporate a digital workforce into the HR mix and re-think their management and talent.
There is also much support when it comes to implementing RoboWorx within the company. RPA can automate repetitive HR tasks such as training, employee data management, time and attendance and more which frees up the employee to do other work. The bots can also copy and paste to and from virtually any technology system ranging from simple spreadsheet processes to more complex payroll systems. Some even believe having the automation the HR professionals can reclaim up to 40% of their time!
By using this program within your Human Resources department as well as your company, 98% of IT leaders say that automating process is essential to driving your business benefits. You can empower your employees to automate which enables them to focus more on meaningful work and better serve the customers. With RPA being capable of performing a list of more than 600 actions you’re bound to check things off your to do list faster too!
So what are you waiting for? Start changing your workplace to be the best it can be by using RoboWorx Inc. The team is friendly, helpful and can help answer any questions or concerns you have along the way. They are truly there to help set up a customized plan for you and your business to thrive and want to see you and the employees succeed, be the best they can and transform your work experience.

Seeing as I didn’t earn my first trophy this week until Friday, you can already tell that it was another lackluster week of trophies. It wasn’t for my lack of trying though, just a lack of time. Time seems to be my enemy when it comes to trophy hunting and just being able to play anything worthwhile at all. Anyway, let’s get on with this so you can see just how little trophies I was able to get this week.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier – 80%
A new episode was released this week and I was lucky enough to get to this episode by Friday. I did complete it and get all the trophies for it. I’ll have my full review of the episode this Wednesday for you so you can see what I thought about the episode.
The Disney Afternoon Collection – 30%
In my constant lack of time for being able to play games, it’s nice to know that I have at least one game that I can play in the maybe hour that I have during the week to play and play something simple. I was able to get two trophies for this game this week and while it’s aggravating, it’s also ok. I have to say that while I’m enjoying my time playing, a lot of these games are a little on the frustrating side.
And that was it for this week, making this another super short blog. Sorry about that! I really am trying when it comes to gaming but life has been getting in the way a lot lately. I’m hoping things kind of return to normal this week and I plan on trying to get through my second playthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda, continue playing The Disney Afternoon Collection, and maybe even start something new. I’ll let you know how things go next week.

In southwest Wyoming, USA, lies an active local community surrounded by jaw-dropping natural beauty where you’ll never be bored. The town is Laramie, Wyoming, and the locals, often called “Laramigos” refer to their backyard playground as “Laradise.” It’s a term fitting of a place where culture is alive, scenery is stunning and life is laid-back. Get ready to reimagine heaven on Earth.
We built this itinerary knowing you want to see the iconic walls of the Grand Canyon and the incredible turquoise waters of Havasu Falls—and explore some less traveled locations while you’re in Arizona.
My adventures there have changed and shaped my life and view of the world in so many positive ways. Preserving the landscapes, formations, parks, campgrounds, and trails in Arizona is essential. I believe it’s a place for any and everyone, and with our care, it can continue to be that way.
The famous and picturesque Yucatán Peninsula stretches into the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea whilst being occupied by the three Mexican states of Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo. This area of Mexico has some of the best history, culture and scenery across the entire country, however most travelers only visit the “tourist hotspots”. Cancun, Tulum and Playa del Carmen are not just three of the most visited places in Mexico, but the world. Yes, these resort towns are appealing and have some of the most gorgeous beaches around, but are they the best places to visit? If you’re searching for authentic Mexico, the simple answer is no. The best way to enjoy this stunning peninsula and be immersed in Mexico’s rich culture is by taking the road less traveled to these six destinations.
It can be almost daunting, the vast spaces stretching from one mountain range in the distance to...
“Sunrise. The best time of day. Beautiful natural light peeking over the ocean’s unobstructed horizon, at first casting silhouettes of everything in its path before revealing the true beauty of the landscape we venture to. This time it’s a cultural gold mine: St. Croix, an island ripe with culture and ready for exploration.”
While Mexico is considered the go to place for warm, beach vacations, many of these alluring spots are heavily populated by tourists. People just like you, looking for the exact same experience in the exact same place. Just like that, those once pristine beaches are over-populated and lacking the relaxing getaway you were daydreaming about.

As the holidays approach, a new report on the state of the global smartphone market reveals some interesting details. Despite the initial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Xiaomi’s year-on-year growth in the third quarter of 2020 was impressive, while Huawei faced a sharp decline during the same period.
According to Gartner’s report, the entire smartphone market has dropped 5.7% year-on-year compared with 2019.
This reduced the total shipments of smartphones to 366 million units, although it is still recovering compared to the first half of this year.
The main reason for the initial plunge was the COVID-19 outbreak, but its impact can still be retained in the third quarter. The report shows that Samsung is still ahead of Huawei, following closely behind, but Xiaomi surpassed Apple in third place.
The South Korean tech giant increased 2.2% this quarter over 2019, which is almost negligible, but the most obvious digital increase is Xiaomi, with a 34.9% increase in mobile phone shipments.
Xiaomi shipped more than 44 million units this quarter, an increase of 32 million units from 2019. Another Chinese OEM manufacturer Oppo’s top 5 smartphone manufacturers also fell slightly by 2.3%.
Considering Huawei’s current relationship with the US government, Huawei’s decline can be expected.
The company faced increased sanctions a few months ago, which led to a disruption in its supply chain. According to Gartner Senior Research Director Anshul Gupta: “In the five largest markets of India, Indonesia and Brazil, the sales of smartphones for end users have increased for the first time this year, increasing by 9.3%, 8.5% and 3.3% respectively. , Respectively.”
He further added: “Even if certain lock-in conditions have begun to improve, consumers are still restricting their disposable spending.”

UPDATE: It appears that Peter's post this morning evaporated. It was on this website but not listed in blogger. He wanted you to read this story: No climate action may spark economic crisis: report He went on to list some survival techniques for the upcoming economic crisis. The comments from that post are still online right here.
Here are some more interesting stories about global warming:
The Boston Herald editorial staff suggests that deliberate pollution of the atmosphere can cool the earth. What we need is a good volcanic eruption every two years according to them. Say what?
John F. Wasik suggests that global warming will hit your wallet. Urban sprawl may become economically unsustainable. Learn to reduce your carbon footprint (especially if we don't get enough volcano eruptions.)
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt has charged that your president censored global warming research. This news does not surprise me. After 9/11 the bushistas warned agencies to stop releasing "sensitive" information. Leahy is working to try to strengthen the country's Freedom of Information act, but faces resistance from the GOP. What the fuck is their problem? Definitely read this.
Iowa farmers are gravely concerned about the effects of global warming. Our current farming system contributes to global warming. They say that the government should not subsidize farmers who grow corn and soybeans in a way "robs the soil of nutrients and requires lots of energy." Enviromentally conscious "Farmers also are planting crops that require less fertilizer and herbicides; using alternative fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel; capturing methane gas from livestock for energy production; and harnessing wind power."
Yesterday, only sailor's foul weather gear and hip boots with lead weights in them would have kept you dry. Today you need a winter coat and a concrete wind block, tomorrow you won't be needing a jacket as autumn makes a return. Something is definitely happening with the climate.

What can I plant next to lavender?
Herbs: Basil and oregano increase the vitality and growth of nearby lavender plants by repelling aphids and various species of flies.
Brassicas: Edging cabbage and cauliflower patches with lavender is one way to repel harmful insects like moths, which like to lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves..
What grows well in clay soil?
Lettuce, chard, snap beans and other crops with shallow roots benefit from clay soil’s ability to retain moisture, and broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage often grow better in clay soil than looser loams because their roots enjoy firm anchorage.
What can you not plant next to lavender?
Indeed, the rose and lavender pairing is undoubtedly one of the most timeless and effective plant pairing in horticulture. Lavender generally should not be interplanted in close proximity to vegetables, as the soil moisture conditions required for healthy vegetables may be fatal to lavender.
Can lavender and marigolds be planted together?
Lavender companion plants include flowers that, like lavender, enjoy full sun and well-drained soil such as marigolds, zinnias and certain types of daisies.
Can lavender and mint be planted together?
Avoid duplicating photos showing mint planted in a single windowsill container with other herbs: mint does NOT do well planted with other common herbs such as lavender, rosemary, sage and thyme, as these herbs prefer soil dry-down and sunny locations.
Does lavender come back year after year?
Lavender is a perennial herb that continues to grow each year. … Lavender is a woody perennial, so it does continue to grow from year to year, but the stems remain upright through the winter in preparation for new spring growth. With proper care and pruning, lavender will survive in the garden for years to come.
How do I protect my lavender in the winter?
If you don’t get a good reliable snow cover, cover your plant bases with a well draining mulch, such as pea gravel, and/or cover the plant itself with a breathable fabric cover (like burlap or gardening blanket fabric), to protect from wind and freezing temperatures.
How long will a lavender plant live?

What do I do with my lavender plant in the winter?
Winter rains can rot improperly established lavender roots. Dig up the herbs, add sand or other organic matter to improve drainage, and replant the lavender.
Can I plant lavender now?
When to plant Lavender is best planted in April or May as the soil naturally warms up and when many fresh plants become available in garden centres. Lavender should never be planted in winter when young plants are vulnerable to rotting in cold, wet soils.
How do I prepare my soil for lavender?
Plant lavender in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 6.7 and 7.3. You can add builder’s sand to the soil before planting to increase drainage, which is vital because lavender will not tolerate excessive soil moisture or humidity.
Can I cut lavender back to the ground?
Don’t cut plants like lavender to the ground, and don’t touch them in fall or winter. … Herbaceous plants can be lightly pruned during the growing season to encourage new growth and be cut back to the ground in fall to tidy things up once the plants go dormant.
Can I plant lavender in June?
English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a fully hardy plant which flowers in June and July.
What happens if you don’t prune lavender?
However, lavender should not be pruned during the winter. Unlike many perennial plants and shrubs that can be pruned now, it is best to wait to prune lavender until after bloom in spring or in early fall before any danger of frost. Pruning now can cause dieback that may kill the plant.
Can lavender grow in pots?
Any lavender variety will grow in a container, but some are better suited than others. Dwarf Blue, Munstead, Hidcote, Sweet, Sharon Roberts, and Lavender Lady produce flowers fast and stay a manageable size in pots.
Can lavender survive a freeze?

How do you stop lavender going Woody?
First technique – hard prune your lavender Over a few years, typically three or four, you can reduce the size of your lavender shrub. This isn’t always successful but it’s always worth a try. Pruning all at once would kill the plant. Spreading the pruning over several years is what makes it work.
When should I plant lavender outside?
Spacing: Depending on the variety, space plants 1 to 3 feet apart. Planting Time: In areas colder than Zone 6 (Zone 6-1), we recommend planting in spring or early summer. In areas warmer than zone 6 (7-10), we recommend planting in early fall so the roots can get established during the cool, moist winter weather.

Tolerability of twice-weekly rifabutin-isoniazid combinations versus daily isoniazid for latent tuberculosis in HIV-infected subjects: a pilot study.
Matteelli A., Olliaro P., Signorini L., Cadeo G., Scalzini A., Bonazzi L., Caligaris S., Tomasoni L., Tebaldi A., Carosi G.
The tolerability of and adherence to intermittent short-term rifabutin-isoniazid preventive treatment was assessed in subjects dually infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In a randomised, open-label, phase II pilot study, 44 subjects received either rifabutin 300 mg and isoniazid 750 mg twice weekly for 3 months (group A, n = 16) or the same regimen with rifabutin at 600 mg (group B, n = 14), or isoniazid 300 mg/day for 6 months (group C, n = 14). Three, two and four subjects in groups A, B, and C, respectively, did not complete their treatment (one case of flu-like syndrome in group B; one methadone withdrawal syndrome in group A; and patient decision in two cases in group A and four in group C). Overall, adverse events were reported by four, nine, and seven subjects in groups A, B and C, respectively. Intermittent combined rifabutin + isoniazid for 3 months had lower default rates than daily standard isoniazid for 6 months. The regimen with rifabutin at 300 mg dose compared favourably to standard isoniazid, and warrants larger efficacy studies to assess its role for the prevention of latent tuberculosis in HIV-infected subjects.

The rates of road traffic casualties in Cambodia in 2022 increased by more than 20 per cent compared to the previous year, according to data from the National Police.
“This year saw 2,994 traffic road accidents nationwide, resulting in 1,739 deaths and 4,045 serious and minor injuries. This figure is an increase of 324 cases, with 242 more deaths and 430 more injuries than in 2021,” the data showed.
Phnom Penh had the highest number of accidents at 899, with 267 killed and 1,228 injured, followed by Kandal province with 157 deaths and 257 injuries in 206 accidents. Preah Sihanouk province had 196 traffic accidents, with 122 deaths and 216 injuries.
In a survey report recently released by the National Road Safety Committee (NRSC), 79 per cent of the people who died were on motorcycles – 74 per cent of them without helmets.
The report found that there were three main factors that contributed to the traffic accidents, including human, vehicle and road factors.
It highlighted that most accidents were caused by human factors such as speeding, failure to keep right, disobeying traffic lights and signs, and driving under the influence.
“Road accidents have many tragic consequences on society and have a negative effect on the government’s poverty reduction policy. These tragedies will continue to happen if road users fail to respect the law – and each other’s lives,” it added.
Sar Kheng, Minister of Interior and chairman of the NRSC, called on all relevant units to increase traffic law enforcement measures in a transparent manner to reduce the number of accident and victims and keep traffic offences to the minimum.
He urged them to increase public education and ensure all road users are aware of their responsibilities to each other. In particular, closer attention must be paid to increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers, so that they can carry out their duties in a transparent, efficient and ethical manner.
