Dysgraphia is a learning difficulty that affects handwriting and fine motor skills (the ability to make movements by synchronising the small muscles of hands and wrists). All young kids face issues while learning to write and improve their handwriting. But if your child's handwriting is consistently unclear or distorted, if your child hates to write because the act of forming letters feel laboriously tiring to them - it might be a sign of dysgraphia . It is mostly identified when a child learns to write, however, dysgraphia might go unnoticed for years, especially in mild cases.
Causes Of Dysgraphia
According to experts, dysgraphia in children is usually caused by a problem with orthographic coding. This neurological disorder affects the working memory that allows us to permanently remember written words and how to use our hands and fingers to write those words. This mostly occurs along with other learning disabilities such as ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and dyslexia in children. Brain injury can trigger the signs of dysgraphia in adults.Symptoms Of Dysgraphia
Unclear and distorted handwriting is the most common sign of dysgraphia. However, sometimes it is possible to have dysgraphia even when your child has neat handwriting. In that case, writing neatly becomes a tedious and time-consuming task for your child.Here are some common characteristics of dysgraphia:
Diagnosis Of Dysgraphia
Diagnosis of dysgraphia is generally done by a team of experts, including a physician, a licensed psychologist or other mental health professionals who have experience in dealing with children with such condition. You can simultaneously consult a dysgraphia specialist trained in diagnosing this disability.
Diagnosis may include an IQ test. The symptoms may also be assessed based on their school assignment or academic work. Tests for dysgraphia include a writing component, copying out sentences or answering brief essay questions. They also test fine-motor abilities, where your child will be tested on reflex actions and motor skills. The specialist tries to determine how well your child can organise thoughts and convey ideas, including the quality of their writing .Treatment Of Dysgraphia
There is no permanent cure for dysgraphia. Therapists need to check if any other learning disabilities or health conditions are involved. Medications that are used to treat ADHD have helped with dysgraphia in children who suffer from both conditions. Occupational therapy may be helpful in improving handwriting skills . It encourages children to do activities, such as
There are several writing programmes available that help children with this condition .
How To Manage Dysgraphia
More than the physical difficulties, children with dysgraphia face a lot of discouragement that develops a sense of inferiority in them. Inability to keep up with the academic progress of the classroom makes them feel helpless at times. Apart from therapy and regular treatments, your intervention as a parent can help your child deal with this situation more effectively. At-home interventions for dysgraphia include
You can always work with the school administration and teachers of your kid to bring modifications in his/her academic life. Here is how schools can make a difference:
Moreover, you need to be patient and allow your kid to adapt to the therapy and changing situations, even if the progress is slow. By creating a community of supportive teachers, friends, family members and therapists, you can rebuild their damaged self-esteem and help them succeed in the long run.

Queens Park Rangers
Mitrovic 14, 78 pen
Mitrovic makes mark as Fulham beat QPR in derby
- Credit: PA
Aleksandar Mitrovic scored both goals as Sky Bet Championship leaders Fulham west London rivals QPR.
Mitrovic's first-half opener put Fulham in control and the Serbia striker's 78th-minute penalty sealed the victory, and took his tally to 37 league goals this season.
Fulham, who look certain to be promoted back to the top flight at the first time of asking, went ahead after 14 minutes at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
Tom Cairney played the ball in to Fabio Carvalho, who pulled it back from the right-hand touchline for Mitrovic to score from close range.
Rangers caused Fulham some problems after the goal, with the fit-again Lyndon Dykes shooting wide and Yoann Barbet well over, while visiting keeper Marek Rodak spilled Dion Sanderson's long-range effort before gathering the ball at the second attempt.
But Fulham always looked threatening and very nearly doubled their lead on the counter-attack.
Carvalho got away from Sam Field before the Portuguese youngster's shot deflected off Sanderson and looped over keeper Keiren Westwood and against the post.
- 1 'Extremely dangerous' men convicted after girl kidnapped and raped
- 2 The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee flypast: Where, and when, the planes will fly over north and east London
- 3 Call for investment in 'joke' Harlesden park
- 4 'Strictest' headteacher to be documentary subject
- 5 Jailed: North London members of Essex drugs supply network
- 6 Police officer sacked after she 'failed' woman murdered by husband
- 7 Can you answer these 10 GCSE questions designed for 16-year-olds?
- 8 Second man charged with fatal stabbing of Emmanuel Odunlami
- 9 Labour accused of 'power grab' move over committee appointments
- 10 Jailed: 7 north London offenders put behind bars in April
And Westwood denied Fulham before the interval, saving from Bobby Decordova-Reid after the Whites forward found himself through on goal.
Marco Silva's side continued to have the upper hand in the second half, with Harry Wilson firing wide before having a decent case for a penalty ignored when he was barged over by Barbet after latching on to Neco Williams' excellent forward pass.
However, referee Gavin Ward did point to the spot 12 minutes from time after Williams' right-wing cross struck Lee Wallace's arm.
Mitrovic coolly converted, ending any real prospect of a QPR comeback.
While their neighbours seem on course to join fellow west London clubs Chelsea and Brentford in the Premier League, Rangers - regularly the area's top side in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, face the prospect of being left behind.
This result continued an awful run which has seen them drop out of the play-off places.
Rangers have lost their past three matches and five of the last six. In their last 11 games, they have won just twice and suffered seven defeats.
Injuries have hit them hard, with recent signing Westwood brought in because four keepers - Seny Dieng, David Marshall, Jordan Archer and youngster Joe Walsh - are all sidelined.
The loss of talisman Chris Willock to a hamstring problem has also been a hammer blow for Mark Warburton's side, who lack ideas going forward without him.
Their miserable afternoon ended with boss Warburton being yellow-carded and his assistant John Eustace sent off in stoppage time, seemingly because of comments made to the fourth official or Fulham's coaching staff.
QPR: Westwood, Sanderson, Dickie, Barbet, Odubajo, Field, Johansen (Chair 70), Wallace, Amos (Dozzell 79), Thomas (Austin 73), Dykes. Unused subs: McCallum, Dunne, Hendrick, Mahoney.

THE INSIDE STORY ON PRESIDENT TRUMP, AS ONLY BOB WOODWARD CAN TELL IT
With authoritative reporting honed through nine presidencies, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trumpâs White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies.
Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the presidentâs first years in office. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence.
Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. Often with day-by-day details, dialogue and documentation, Fear tracks key foreign issues from North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, the Middle East, NATO, China and Russia. It reports in-depth on Trumpâs key domestic issues particularly trade and tariff disputes, immigration, tax legislation, the Paris Climate Accord and the racial violence in Charlottesville in 2017.
Fear presents vivid details of the negotiations between Trumpâs attorneys and Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation, laying out for the first time the meeting-by-meeting discussions and strategies. It discloses how senior Trump White House officials joined together to steal draft orders from the presidentâs Oval Office desk so he would not issue directives that would jeopardize top secret intelligence operations.
âIt was no less than an administrative coup dâÃ©tat,â Woodward writes, âa nervous breakdown of the executive power of the most powerful county in the world.â

I spend around 7 hours to kill all 20 rares and my loot is:
Video guide with all rares locations

This grants 100 rep with the Argent Dawn faction.
You can earn
that drops (besides the rares) from

who is at ♦
/way 71.0, 21.6
♦ by completing
as many times as you want!
You can also use
which are dropped by the same mobs, to get
with the same NPC by completing
. It's not that much but, it helps.
Since the last patch was so "alt challenged" I think turning these in is a great way to catch up so you can be ready ( not too squishy) for Shadowlands when it drops.
These still drop from rares if you've already killed them that day. Unsure about actual loot though as I've only had 1 piece of loot from 20 rares
:Edit: They still drop gear after the first kill of the day too
Anyone have a macro or something to turn these in on mass? Turning these in is a pain.
When i have them in my backpack - i can see a shadow following me from time to time. Added a screenshot of that. Looks creepy.
Open dialog with
, then click this macro 3 times. Repeat.
I have found the best place to farm Scourgestones is the saronite mines in the middle of the Vrykul village Ymirheim. There's tons of weak skeleton npcs in there that you can pull in large packs and beat easily. They respawn fast, it's in a tight place so you don't have to run around too much and they can drop the blue scourgestones too. Plus it's in the middle of the zone so you can quickly fly to any rare that comes up.
Not Account Wide...really? farming with all alts for 100 lvl? omfg blizzzzzzzzzz
You'll need a total of 1000
to buy a single set of armor for
You need 125 Pitch Black Scourgestones for 1 piece of armor.
It appears that Blizzard changed the respawn time for rares from 20 minutes to just 10 minutes.
What are they for? What do you do with them?
Do they have any use after you've collected the armor set?
If you collected a bunch of these before picking up the quest you should just dump them?
What happens with the scourgestones when you don't have the quest?
The last rare dropped at exactly 23:02, so I have some stones left over from the event, expecting to be able to turn them in until 23:30... So... What am I supposed to do with them now?
If these are truly useless after SL launch with the removal of pre-patch vendor NPCs, you would think Blizz would convert them to grey quality trash.
"No sell price."
I have thousands of these sitting in my bank. Think they are worth holding on to?
Do we just destroy these now that shadow lands is here?
Is there no longer a vendor to buy the armour with these? Turns out I forgot to buy them all on a plate-wearer alt and have several hundred of these sitting in the bank.
Hey, blizz. It's the first day of Dragonflight.
You kinda forgot to do something with these.
Stop being stupid.

Gwadar Airport being refurbished to host international flights
QUETTA – The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has decided to close down the under-construction Gwadar International Airport in July due to expansion work on the runway.
CAA sources said the runway will be inoperable form July 1 to July 31. An alternative runway has not been designated by the authority as yet.
Following the refurbishment work, the Airbus A-320 will be able to land at the airport.
A weekly Gwadar-Kashgar flight is also expected to start after the runway renovation.
In February this year, Balochistan Chief Secretary Saifullah Chatta said construction work on the Gwadar International Airport, costing Rs22 billion, would be completed in October.
Talking to Radio Pakistan, he said the Gwadar airport would cater to the needs of the Gwadar deep-sea port as it would become the prime venue of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The CPEC has also increased passenger traffic in the area, he added.

The overall Layout is determined by:

The styles are separated into different folders depending on which layer they come from, to ease debugging & maintenance as framework components get updated.
For production installs (

This consolidation is done as part of the Release Process.
Web2Py's appadmin (Database administration) inherits the Layout of the application.
Our layout isn't designed to accomodate the 3 menu options in the top-right: design, state, db
2 possible solutions here:

I used an individual (2 strand) 20 gauge wire between a Blue Seas fuse block and each light fixture. The light fixtures draw about 0.1 amp so a 0.5 amp fuse protecting each wire is more than adequate to carry the load.
Certainly, a 0.5 amp fuse will blow long before the conductor or the wimpy pigtail on the fixture catches fire.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have postponed all shows scheduled for September, starting with a show Thursday at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York.
a mail X, formerly known as Twitter, said on Wednesday that the singer is receiving treatment for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease and that the postponement follows the “decision of his medical advisors.”
In a statement to fans, Boss wrote that he and the band are “saddened to have to postpone these shows.” He continued: “First, I apologize to the wonderful Philadelphia fans who we have missed for a few weeks. We will come back to select these offers and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
He ended his message on a hopeful note, saying: “We enjoyed our shows in the US and look forward to many more great times. We will be back soon.”
Springsteen and The E Street Band were also scheduled to visit several cities across North America this month including Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Vancouver and Toronto. No details have been mentioned about whether their December shows in Inglewood and San Francisco have been mentioned.
Previously announced in February, the tour follows a six-year break for the E Street Band, the longest since their 1999 reformation.
Shortly after the tour began, Covid quickly arrived on E Street as band members Steven Van Zandt and violinist/vocalist Susie Terrell missed Texas concerts after testing positive; Saxophonist Jake Clemons and half of E Street’s touring backup singers were also absent from subsequent dates.
In March, more shows were postponed “due to illness”, but the band did not reveal which members were sick. At the time, Van Zandt assured his fans on social media that there was “no need to worry or be afraid.” Nothing serious. Just a temporary condition. We will all be back in full force very soon. When asked if the shows had been postponed or cancelled, the guitarist added: “Postponed. We don’t cancel.”
“Infuriatingly humble web fan. Writer. Alcohol geek. Passionate explorer. Evil problem solver. Incurable zombie expert.”

Here's an idea, ask your child to make up a tale about what is happening in the scene and fire up their imagination. You will also find that little moments of praise from you can really all add up to a kids sense of self worth and confidence in later life. This is a fantastic way to help your little ones learn their colours, shapes, and verbs for items such as hair, dress, legs, chin etc. As your children work, help them pick up the correct names of things they are working on, like chin, cars, pets etc. Oh, and this is a fantastic way to teach colours to your kid.
Online coloring- computer and internet open a new and great spectrum of drawing and coloring. As of now, adults are very sizeable living that creates, draw and color pictures for the computer animation like movies, video games, commercials as well as items that most of the people would never consider, like high quality information sites. With such options, it is no wonder that the tools as well as the formats being used in this kind of artwork carried down along with children.
Actually, kids of all ages enjoy designing their very own image that is ironed onto a t-shirt, pillow, jacket or whatever cloth works with regular iron-on transfers. In fact, using the Magic Color Page is ideal for creating 'one of a kind' gifts for family and friends.
Affordability. This websites are a great way to introduce new and affordable activities to your children. Many online coloring sites are free. However, some may require registration. In addition, there is huge selection of printable coloring sheets on these online coloring sites that are free to print. You could introduce a new coloring activity to your children daily for only the cost of printing. The ability to print coloring pages online gives you the opportunity to print whichever character or image you child desires without having to purchase multiple coloring books.
It is important to have the right approach to kids education. Boys and girls love arcade games but don't like school at times. Still, the years as a child are the best time to get education. And thus, it is actually a good teaching method to combine different games and the learning process. In that way your child can enjoy some interesting online games and simultaneously learn something new. Children do not like studying math because it is too difficult. However fortunately there's a solution to this particular problem. Nowadays it is easy to find many different color by number video games, which could become fairly effective.
With the availability of multiple images offered by today's technology you will never be at a loss for finding the image you want. If you can't find the exact image you are looking for you may be able to find somebody who would be willing to create one for you and a new creation will be born! Next time you are looking for a coloring page for your kids take a quick look at what is available right at your finger tips from your computer. With just an internet connection you will have limitless resources to entertain on those rainy days.
At special occasions like the Holidays we pretty much blanket the walls of our house in Coloring Pages. In December there are pictures of Santa, Rudolph the Reindeer, Sleighs, Christmas Trees, Elves, Carol Singers and much more all over the house. While at Halloween no matter where you go in our home there will probably be a Pumpkin, Bat, Little Devil or Ghoul staring at you! I am careful to pack them all away carefully afterwards and intend to still be using them decades from now, much to the probable embarrassment of my son. So if you are a parent and are looking for easy and low cost ways to spend quality time with your children I would say use Coloring Pages, you really can't go wrong with them.

Registration No: BBD 338K
Chassis No: 845-05679D
Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 model range and the ex-Buick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive. Though, with some 161bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, it also boasted a 115mph top speed. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s 'gentlemen's club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even Her Late Majesty The Queen, who owned an Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupes and 11,501 Saloons had been built.
According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 845-05679-D was completed on 25th March 1971 and despatched the next day to supplying dealer Grose Limited of Northampton. Originally finished in Zircon Blue with a Silver roof and Beige leather upholstery, the Rover was road registered as ‘BBD 338K’ on 1st August 1971 and retained by the Titmus family for the first thirty-nine years of its life which is one of the reasons why the vendor is happy to warrant the present odometer reading of 53,000 miles as representing the total covered from new. There are also numerous old MOTs on file dating back to July 1977 at 24,272 miles. Acquired by its last (fifth) registered keeper some seven years and 3,000 miles ago, the Rover has since benefited from the following: a stainless steel exhaust system, under bonnet blanket, fanbelt, leather upholstery food / conditioner, automatic gearbox / differential oil changes and new Spax rear shock absorbers (2016); replacement alternator, electric fuel pump and front suspension / anti-roll bar bushes (2017); fresh HT leads (2018); a top-end engine overhaul (including refurbished carburettors and a rolling road tune by JB Racing) plus full body re-spray (2019); new PAS belt, automatic gearbox fluid change, fresh Y bushes, overhauled rear wheel cylinders plus replacement brake shoes (2020); and the fitment of a Powerspark electronic ignition kit (2021). Starting readily upon inspection and running very well, ‘BBD 338K’ remains highly presentable with a lovely feel to it. Though, the rear bumper is not as smart as the rest of the brightwork. Due to be driven circa 170 miles to the sale, this much loved, low mileage P5B is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, history file and fresh MOT certificate.

Announcing the Astonishing Tales of Content Marketing eBook
August 16, 2016
Storytelling is one of the hottest trends in marketing right now. We talk so much about telling compelling stories, I’m tempted to start having meetings around a campfire. I could hold a flashlight up to my chin and tell the bone-chilling story of the marketer who was addicted to buzzwords.
As with most buzzwords, though, there’s something genuine behind the hype. Storytelling is an effective way to make an emotional connection with a reader. It can turn a dry list of features and benefits into a fully-realized world your potential customer can inhabit.

Amazon Prime offering in-game rewards, starting with PUBG Mobile skins
Sep 23, 2019
Amazon Prime now offers in-game content for PUBG Mobile players.
According to TechCrunch, this includes a Prime-exclusive set of Infiltrator skins, including mask, jacket, pants, and shoes. There is also the new Blood Oath skin for the KAR98K and a Black Magma parachute.
Worth noting is that these skins are available to Amazon Prime users, not just Twitch Prime users. This initiative is separate from Twitch Prime, which has long offered in-game rewards to subscribers. These PUBG Mobile skins can still be obtained through Twitch Prime, but this seemingly marks the beginning of an expansion to Amazon’s efforts to use gaming content to entice people to subscribe to their services.
Ethan Evans, vice president of Twitch Prime, discussed the news.
“Now, no matter what platform you play on, whether console, PC, or mobile, there are Prime game benefits for you,” Evans said in a statement. “In the coming months, we’ll roll out benefits for some of the most popular mobile games across many favorite genres.
The report states that this is just the start of a significant push from Amazon to offer video game content to users. Amazon is currently working on similar partnerships with EA Games, Wargaming Mobile, and Netmarble. It is unclear what sorts of rewards will be offered and what specific titles will be included.
Amazon suggested to TechCrunch that these Amazon Prime rewards will primarily be for mobile games. It is unclear if Amazon Prime will also begin offering the primarily console and PC gaming-based rewards of Twitch Prime, or if Twitch Prime will continue having its own separate offering.
Twitch Prime has offered gamers a number of different rewards over the years. While these have primarily been smaller things like loot boxes and cosmetic items, there have been larger offerings such as a year of Nintendo Switch Online.

heat at 350 degrees for 25 min, mmm with a burnt crunchy top so delicious.
Amys m&c is about half the size of tj brand. pretty similar in taste, but slightlymore bland.
stouffers brand is very creamy and fattening. if you feel like having a homealone moment try this brand, otherwise i wouldn't really recommend it unless you are inhibriated.
this mac and cheese is O organics brand from safeway. its less creamy, similar to the tj brand pretty decent much better than stouffers. MUCH better
i used to joke about buying this "worlds best mac and cheese" beecher brand at whole foods and returning it claiming it was NOT the best m&c. It runs around $15! I have yet to try this but the SF Chronicle voted it #1.

Fix (No so)quick release steering wheel podium base
I think I got a fix for the sticking steering wheel on a Podium base.
Did try some light grease on it before that,but it was not working,felt like it was a bit vacuum when removing the wheel.
Now I put some graphene dust on the rubber bushing after cleaning the rubber bushing,which seems to do the trick!
I just did and it is a good improvement ,but we will see how it works when the steering wheel is some time longer on the base.
For now it's great!

An investigation into Palm Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty, who may have improperly accepted lobbyists' contributions to a legal defense fund stemming from the 2000 presidential election aftermath, goes before the Florida Ethics Commission next month.
Two people who filed ethics complaints against McCarty, one a critic who wants to cause her political trouble and another a friend who wants to help her resolve the issue, said Tuesday they've been notified about the Sept. 1 probable-cause hearing.
At that time, and behind closed doors, the Ethics Commission will consider a recommendation from an assistant attorney general who serves as commission advocate.
Speaking generally, and not about McCarty because of confidentiality rules, commission spokeswoman Helen Jones said a probable cause hearing doesn't indicate wrongdoing.
If the commission finds probable cause, then the person accused could enter into a settlement agreement or ask for a hearing before an administrative law judge.
The County Commission is on vacation and McCarty could not be reached for comment Tuesday despite messages left at her office and on her cell phone. Her attorney, Mark Herron, declined to comment.
In the past she has said she was inclined to settle the case, filed in July 2004. One incentive for settling and resolving the issue is that McCarty is running for re-election next year.
The problem stems, indirectly, from the 2000 presidential campaign. She served as chairwoman of a group that pushed for removal of Florida Supreme Court justices who sided with Democrat Al Gore during the recount battle.
That led to a Florida Elections Commission case. Facing a penalty of up to $450,000, McCarty was fined $2,000 for signing false or incorrect financial documents and accepting a $150,000 contribution that exceeded the $500 limit. McCarty said at the time that she became the group's chairwoman without consulting a lawyer and signed its financial report without reviewing bank statements and donation checks.
Though the $2,000 fine was relatively small, she faced $50,000 in legal bills, so she created a legal defense fund.
The Ethics Commission case concerns donations to the defense fund. After being confronted a year ago about checks sent to the defense fund, McCarty acknowledged that she might have violated state ethics laws by accepting about $20,000 from companies that have used lobbyists to sway County Commission decisions. State ethics laws prohibit elected policy-makers from accepting lobbyists' gifts worth more than $100.
McCarty agreed to return any money that she improperly accepted. Since she'd already paid Elections Commission-related legal bills with donations to the legal defense fund, McCarty said she would have to use her savings to repay any improper contributions.
State law allows for penalties of up to $10,000 per offense, which Jones said would be "for something very egregious." Penalties usually are much less. The commission also can recommend to the governor a public censure, reprimand or removal from office.
At least two ethics cases were filed against McCarty. One was from Gerald Franciosa of Delray Beach, who said he had political differences with McCarty that started when he approached her about running for City Commission several years ago.
He hopes she faces severe sanctions. "It would be nice if she got a nice big fine," though he fears she'll only get a "slap on the wrist."
Another case was filed by a friend, Frank Behrman, a retired lawyer living west of Delray Beach. He filed at McCarty's request because she wanted to resolve the issue.
"I'm admitting fault. Whatever the punishment is, I'm willing to take it," McCarty said when Behrman filed.
Behrman said Tuesday he has no reason to think McCarty intended to do anything wrong.
"I honestly believe that Mary, unfortunately, wasn't paying attention to what she signed," he said. Sometimes violating the law "doesn't always mean you have to have a dishonest thought."

SUNY Poly Adopting Sleek Dark Mode on Campus
Disclaimer: At the creation of this article, SGU has been diligently working on resolving this issue. If you would like further information on this topic, please contact SGU President Tucker Mogren and/or Jennifer George.
Having been established in 1987 as the Upper Division College at Herkimer/Utica/Rome, our lovely campus has quite the history. However, one cannot hold fast to the vestiges of the past and claim to be a leader in the technology of the future. Unfortunate as it is, SUNY Polytechnic must be willing to make sacrifices if they wish to be seen as an efficacious school. How wonderful it is, then, that the campus has settled on a more modern layout: one that includes a stylish new ‘dark mode.’
In today’s world of phones, tablets, computers, laptops, TVs and movies, we are constantly looking at screens. Most websites originally adopted a typical black-text-on-white-background look, presumably to mimic the written word on paper. However, I’m sure most of us can attest that staring at a blinding white screen is painful at best, and damaging to the eyes at worst. Recently, many apps and sites have taken to offering a dark mode: the option to flip the default and, instead, have text displayed as white on a black background. No doubt easier on the eyes and less painful to read, dark mode has slowly gained popularity in recent years. Not wanting to be left out, SUNY Poly has jumped on the proverbial bandwagon and is launching their own, non-optional dark mode!
Now, instead of the blinding white lights that used to illuminate the paths at night, the campus is insisting on a more modern design: the inescapable shade of pitch black. If you’ve found yourself walking around after sunset, you would certainly have noticed the lack of any intrusive visibility, now replaced with a calming and visually appealing utter darkness. The health benefits are surely easy to see, unlike the campus. Now, without those pesky photons that your rods and cones depend on to parse the visual cues of the world around you, your fovea can now rest and relax, certain that no useful information will be revealed to you in the void between buildings.
And let’s not ignore the other benefits as well! Several seniors have said that the campus is now more interesting at night, as they must rely on their memory alone to guide themselves back to their dorms. Freshmen, on the other hand, have extolled the sense of adventure that they feel, blindly groping their way back to Oriskany across a campus of which they have not yet memorized the layout. Of course, there are maps around campus which show you a top-down view of all the buildings if you aren’t confident with your wayfinding abilities. Hopefully you have a flashlight on you to read them, as the lights above these maps have also been modernized.
Several clubs on campus have spoken out in favor of this new change. “Art Major Ursa Minor,” our resident stargazing club, have said that the removal of all light pollution on campus has increased their turnout tenfold! Most of the students we spoke to, however, claimed no knowledge of the club, only that they were using the stars to navigate themselves to Mohawk like old seafaring explorers. Also, many amateur photographers around campus have said that the new lighting standards (or lack thereof) have allowed them to venture into low-light photography. Using particular apertures and shutter speeds, these club members were able to take breathtaking photos, which they were happy to share with us. Unfortunately, we cannot report as to what exactly they looked like, because we couldn’t see anything while outside.
All in all, this seems like a step in the right direction for SUNY Poly. At least, we think it is. We can’t really see where we’re going anymore. Hopefully, our lovely campus will incorporate more modern design standards in the future, like redesigning the now out-of-date cubist rendition of a building that is Donovan Hall, or a new avant garde dormitory that can actually fit all the students it needs to. We can’t wait to see, seriously! Let us see!

Of course, Cyberpunk 2020 wasn’t the only thing people were talking about this week. The Witcher TRPG is receiving a lot of love as well. A number of outlets help spread the news of our upcoming Q&A session with lead designer Cody Pondsmith, complete with cover and interior art reveals!
- IGN was first on the scene with the news but RPG news site ENWorld followed close behind with some solid insight into the mechanics of the game. A number of blogs picked up and carried the story, including the Pummelrunde site in Germany and GryOnline in Poland!
- And if you want to hear a story about how R. Talsorian won The Witcher license, check out this video from GameSpot.
- Beyond the interviews Mike did with IGN and GameSpot, the most interesting Cyberpunk 2020 related item to come out this week had to have been this video offering an analysis comparing the classes of the tabletop RPG by Eurogamer’s Johnny Chiodini based on what he saw of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 video game at E3. I recommend giving it a watch as this is promised to be the first in a series of videos.
Other R. Talsorian games are receiving a love, too. Over at RPG.net, the first in a series of reviews of Castle Falkenstein products from our partner Fat Goblin Games have been posted and they’re all fantastic! More will be coming over the next few Tuesdays.
Of course, if you want the latest scoop on what’s happening at R. Talsorian Games, this blog and our Facebook page remain your best source.
That’s it from the screamsheets for now! Stay safe on the streets.

In the transformative narrative of Jacqueline Way’s journey, discover how 365 days of small acts of giving have not only touched lives but profoundly reshaped the very essence of our world. She unearthed a truth that the world urgently needs to embrace.
Planting Seeds of Kindness
365give.ca was born from a simple yet powerful idea: committing to one small act of giving every day for an entire year. Jacqueline Way, the visionary behind this movement, wanted to teach her young son the values of kindness, compassion, and happiness. She knew that by embodying these virtues through daily acts of giving, she could sow the seeds of positive change.
Jacqueline’s journey began in her own backyard, where she and her son embarked on acts of giving that were both simple and impactful. They planted flowers, donated items, recycled, volunteered, and even picked up garbage. The ripple effect of their actions started to spread, creating a chain reaction of goodness that transcended boundaries.
The Ripple Effect of Giving
The benefits we receive when we give are remarkable. – Jacqueline Way
As Jacqueline and her son continued their journey, they realized the incredible impact their acts of giving were having not just on others, but also on themselves. Giving became a source of happiness, mental well-being, purpose, and gratitude. It wasn’t just a selfless act; it was a path to personal fulfillment.
Science supports their experiences. Giving triggers the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” fostering feelings of connection and love. It’s a way to put love into action, a force that’s desperately needed in today’s world. Giving not only reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, but it also fuels a sense of unity and compassion.
A Giving Revolution
“Imagine if we all did it. Eight billion people… giving a little love every day.” – Jacqueline Way
365give.org isn’t just a personal journey; it’s a movement that has touched millions of lives worldwide. Jacqueline’s mission is clear: teach, inspire, and empower people to give, creating a happier and more compassionate world every single day of the year.
The organization offers free programs for schools, youth leadership clubs, families, and individuals, emphasizing that giving is within everyone’s reach, regardless of scale. The impact of collective giving is staggering. If each person contributes a small act of kindness daily, the cumulative effect could change the trajectory of the world.
Changing the World One Give at a Time
“Join the 365give community. We will teach, inspire and empower you… to give 365 days of the year!”
365give.ca is an invitation to be a part of something bigger – a global community of change-makers who believe in the power of giving. It’s a movement that doesn’t demand financial contributions but rather a commitment of time, effort, and love. By joining this community, you’re not just signing up for daily acts of giving; you’re signing up to be a catalyst for positive transformation.
As Jacqueline Way and her son have demonstrated, the impact of a single act of giving can reverberate far beyond its immediate effects. It’s a reminder that every small gesture matters, and collectively, these actions can create a more sustainable, happier, kinder, and just world.
In a world that sometimes seems clouded by negativity, 365give.ca shines as a beacon of hope. Jacqueline Way’s journey reminds us that kindness, compassion, and giving are not only essential for others but are also key to our own well-being. By committing to a small act of giving each day, we have the power to change the world, one gesture at a time.

“Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”
They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them. But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a prophet.
St. Matthew 21:33-46 (KJV)
A few Sundays ago, the above parable of Jesus was read in Church. The priest interpreted this passage as relating to the individual Christian, saying that we as sinful people are the wicked vinedressers and we have a choice to either stay in the sin which killed the landowner’s son (Christ), or to seek forgiveness and become good tenets. The priest also noted how Christ responded to his disciples, saying that they were in error for seemingly denying the mercy of the landowner who is God the Father. Now I take no issue with the interpretation of my priest’s homily. His message was fair and I accept it, but I also have my own interpretation of Christ’s parable in St. Matthew’s gospel. I do not seek to put my interpretation over his, but rather would like it to be taken alongside of it.
What struck me most when hearing this passage read in Church was the line where the wicked servants say: “this is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.” Now this whole parable is in relation to the coming of the Messiah to the Hebrew people, and how those people would respond to the Incarnation. This is rather obvious, but it bares stating outright. The vineyard is creation, the universe, or specifically, the realm which we humans inhabit. God set aside a particular people, the Hebrews, to be stewards of the Father’s earthly possession (possession in the sense of a royal holding or realm). Now, the vinedressers rebelled against the landowner, by claiming the fruits of the vineyard for themselves and ignoring the terms of their contract with the landowner. The Hebrew were singled out from the other nations of the world. They were a people who had been given a Covenant with God. They were to follow His commands and in turn God would see to their needs. Unfortunately for the Hebrews, upon receiving the benefits bestowed upon them by God, they would soon forget their Covenant obligations, so far as to worship pagan gods and to persecute and kill the prophets sent to them by God to remind them of their responsibilities. This is essentially what the Old Testament speaks about. The prophets are referenced as the other servants sent by the landowner to collect what was owed. Now, a covenant is a contract between two parties. Despite the Hebrews being largely unfaithful, God was not going to break the contract or abandon what He had put in place. He was going see to the fulfillment of His Covenant with the Hebrews by sending His Son to be their Messiah. Christ came in part to fulfill to Old Testament Covenant on behalf of the Hebrew people as a whole, but it was efficacious only for the remnant who remained faithful (in all times there is always a faithful remnant). Likewise, outside of the Hebrew Covenant which gentiles were not under, Christ came to save us all from sin, but His sacrifice on the cross is only efficacious for those who are Christian.
Now the Pharisees saw themselves in the characters of the wicked vinedressers. Was this an error on their part? The Pharisees would later have Christ put to death, but this is often explained by modern theologians to have been a result of their failure to recognize Christ as the Messiah. After all, the Pharisees and Hebrews now Judeans (or Jews) were expecting a marshal messiah, one who would come and establish a new Jewish Kingdom and exterminate the Romans interlopers. But this parable of Christ, as well as Romans 9, makes it clear that the great sin of the Pharisees was not that they failed to recognize Christ as the Messiah, but rather that they knew Him to be the Messiah, the Son of God and God Himself, yet they chose to have Him put to death. And they put Christ to death so that they could take the Son’s inheritance for themselves. But what does it mean, to take the Son’s inheritance? The answer is three-fold. The Son’s inheritance is of course the Holy Scripture, specifically in this context the Old Testament which testifies to the coming of Christ. In killing Christ, the Pharisees would be free to interpret the Old Testament in any manner which they desired, and to facilitate this they created a secondary scripture in the form of the Talmud, which provides legalistic justification for almost any act, even acts that would contradict the Old Testament. The second component of the Son’s inheritance is the world itself. Upon the coming of the Messiah, He would assume possession of that which was His, which Christ did upon His ceremonial entry into Jerusalem on a donkey (the kings of Israel would enter Jerusalem on a donkey to symbolize a time of peace, and enter upon a horse if during a time of war). The Pharisees firstly did not want a peaceable Messiah, and secondly did not wish to be subordinated to Him and instead, aligned themselves with Herod and the Romans so that their power and influence could be retained. With Christ killed, the Pharisees would retain their power over the Jewish people, and would instill in them a sense of their superiority over the nations and their divine right to eventually inherit the world through their interpretation of the Old Testament through the lens of the Talmud. Thirdly and lastly, Christ in being the Son of God is God, thus in killing Christ the Pharisees have set themselves up as usurpers of Christ’s divinity, rendering themselves as “ethnically divine”. For modern Jews, the Jewish race itself becomes something to be venerated, if not worshipped, as it is not God’s Christ which saves them but their own bloodline. What this “salvation” is to an individual Jew can vary, but be they religious or atheistic, it is their blood which completely defines and justifies them, and seemingly sets them against gentile nations.
This parable of Christ perfectly explains Jewish history in relation to Christian nations and why there exists such enmity between us. Over the centuries, the Pharisees came to define what today is modern Judaism, and the attitudes which Christ warned us about in His parable persist in that community today. Christ also states that His Kingdom shall be taken away from the Jews and given to others who are able to bring about good fruit. Well, it is obvious that Christ here is referring to the Church, which has utterly eclipsed the fruits of the Jewish people, who are the image-bearers of those who knowingly committed deicide. Now, this parable does not justify pogroms, or any such similar actions. Rather, if anything it should provide a warning to the Jewish people that it is needful for their well-being, as well as for their salvation, to denounce the sins of theirs fathers and to worship Christ. As Christians, it is our duty to inform them of their predicament and not to pretend that they retain the favour of God because of their supposed continuity with the Hebrews. The lineage of modern Jews is that of the Pharisees, and it is because of the Pharisees that Jews today consistently work to undermine gentile society in general and Christian society in particular. The Jews have become slaves to their own blood and it is only through the blood of Christ that they can be freed from the pitiable servitude. And they are pitiable, utterly so. No matter the sins they commit against us we should remember this, but of course they are responsible for their actions. Understanding why people act the way they do does not justify the actions they take, but as Christians this awareness is important so that until the very last moment, one’s eternal life may be saved even if the temporal one has been forfeited through the wages of sin.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says Australia faces its largest budget deficit since World War II as the coronavirus crisis wreaks havoc on the country's finances.
Mr Frydenberg on Thursday morning gave the federal government's economic update, also revealing that unemployment is expected to peak around 9 per cent in December.
He said the federal government recorded a deficit of $85.8 billion in 2019-20, which is projected to blow out to $184.5 billion in 2020-2021 as a result of record spending.
"These harsh numbers reflect the harsh reality we face," Mr Frydenberg told reporters in Canberra on Thursday as he gave an economic and fiscal update.
"The impact of the coronavirus has led to a significant decline in tax receipts and a large increase in government payments."
Net debt was at $488.2 billion at 30 June - or 24.6 per cent of GDP - and will hit a record $677.1 billion the following year, more than a third of the economy's size.
National GDP was being propped up by fiscal support to the tune of $289 billion, or 14.6 per cent of GDP.
Around the world, unprecedented support totalling $11 trillion was attempting to keep the global economy afloat.
Mr Frydenberg said Australia "had fared better on the economic front during the crisis than almost any other counter in the world".
"Despite our increased debt levels, they remain lower than what many comparable nations went into this crisis with," the treasurer said.
But he said the outlook remained uncertain, highlighted by the Victorian outbreak.
"(It's) a painful reminder of how a setback in combating the virus can impact the speed and trajectory of our national economic recovery," he said.
Unemployment was expected to peak at 9.25 per cent in the December quarter, lower than initially expected at the onset of the pandemic.
A full set of economic and fiscal data for the four-year forward estimates won't be revealed until the budget on 6 October.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said that by then, the government would also be in a position to detail the 10-year, medium-term outlook too.
"The economic and fiscal outlook remains highly uncertain given what is continuing to occur globally and in some parts of Australia," he said.
The update is expected to show Victoria's six-week renewed lockdown to contain the second wave of coronavirus infections will slice $3.3 billion off the national economy.
The government has spent or planned $164 billion of supports, notably the $86 billion JobKeeper wage subsidy and $17 billion JobSeeker supplement.
At the same time, revenues have plummeted.
Treasury says the supports put in place have saved 700,000 jobs and lowered the forecast peak unemployment rate by five percentage points.
"Between March and May, 870,000 jobs were lost and more than one million Australians saw their working hours reduced," Mr Frydenberg said on Thursday.
"These are mums and dads, sons and daughters, friends and colleagues."
The official jobless figure was 7.4 per cent in June with the average unemployment rate forecast to be 8.75 per cent in 2020/21.
Unemployment is expected to peak at nine and a quarter per cent. Source: AAP
Since March, there have been record falls in key indicators of business investment, household consumption, the labour market and trade.
Mr Frydenberg said these "eye-watering" numbers reflected the harsh reality of the coronavirus.
"Our announced measures, together with large declines in taxation receipts, has seen a hit to the bottom line, but this has been necessary in order to cushions the blow for millions of Australians, and to keep businesses in business and keep Australians in jobs," he said.
But he noted the main budget impact had been quarantined to the two financial years of 2019/20 and 2020/21.
"We carefully designed our economic support measures to ensure we maintained the structural integrity of the budget," he said.

The 65-year-old Bruce Jenner made the declaration in a wide-ranging interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, nearly 40 years after his record-breaking Olympic gold-medal win in the decathlon that gave him the unofficial title of “World’s Greatest Athlete.”
At the outset of the taped interview, Sawyer asked “Are you a woman?” and Jenner responded, “Yes, for all intents and purposes I am a woman.”
“People look at me differently,” Jenner added. “They can see you as this macho male, but my heart and my soul, and everything that I do in life, it is part of me, that female side is part of me. That’s who I am.”
Known to younger generations as the patriarch of reality TV’s Kardashian clan, Jenner went on ABC’s “20/20″ to put to rest months of speculation that he was transitioning to life as a woman.
Jenner’s announcement coincides with a growing visibility of transgender people in American society. Hollywood has played a part, introducing transgender storylines and actors like Laverne Cox from television show “Orange Is the New Black,” who appeared on the cover of Time magazine last year for a story about “America’s next civil rights frontier.”
An emotional Jenner, sporting long hair and a shirt and trousers, said he had waited so many years to come out because he did not “want to disappoint people.”
Although Jenner did not address pronoun preference, Sawyer said that for this interview, Jenner asked that the public use “the familiar ‘him’ or ‘he’.”
Three times married and divorced and parent to six biological children and four stepchildren, Jenner said he is not gay and has never had sex with a man.
“I feel like I am getting an upgraded version of my dad,” said son Brandon Jenner.
Stepdaughter Kim Kardashian, perhaps one of the most famous of American reality TV stars, has been “by far the most accepting and the easiest to talk to,” Jenner said. Her husband, rapper Kanye West, had been instrumental in helping her accept Jenner’s transition, he added.
Jenner says, “It is going to be an emotional rollercoaster, but somehow I am going to get through it” and, referring to his family, “I can’t let myself hurt them.”

Whilst these things were, the mournful Clare
Did in the Dame's devotions share :
For the good Countess ceaseless pray'd
To Heaven and Saints, her sons to aid,
And, with short interval, did pass
From prayer to book, from book to mass,
And all in high Baronial pride,-
A life both dull and dignified ;-
Yet as Lord Marmion nothing press'd
l'pon her intervals of rest,
Dejected Clara well could bear
The formal state, the lengthen'd prayer,
Though dearest to her wounded heart
The hours that she might spend apart.
I said, Tantallon's dizzy steep
Hung o'er the margin of the deep.
Many a rude tower and rampart there
Repellid the insult of the air,
Which, when the tempest vex'd the sky,
Half breeze, half spray, came whistling by.
Above the rest, a turret square
Did o'er its Gothic entrance bear,
Of sculpture rude, a stony shield;
The Bloody Heart was in the field,
And in the chief three mullets stood,
The cognizance of Douglas blood.
The turret held a narrow stair,
Which, mounted, gave you access where
A parapet's embattled row
Did seaward round the castle go."
Sometimes in dizzy steps
Sometimes in narrow circuit bending,
Sometimes in platform broad
Its varying circle did combine
Bulwark, and bartisan, and line,
And bastion, tower, and
Above the booming ocean leant
The far-projecting battlement;
The billows burst, in ceaseless flow,
Upon the precipice below.
Where'er Tantallon faced the land,
Gate-works, and walls, were strongly manu'l;
No need upon the sea-girt side ;
The steepy rock, and frantic tide,
Approach of human step denied ;
And thus these lines, and ramparts rude,
Were left in deepest solitude.
And, for they were so lonely, Clare
Would to these battlements repair,
And muse upon her sorrows there,
And list the sea-bird's cry;
Or slow, like noontide ghost, would glide
Along the dark-grey bulwarks' side,
And ever on the heaving tide
Look down with weary eye.
Oft did the cliff, and swelling main,
Recall the thoughts of Whitby's fane, -
A home she ne'er might see again ;
For she had laid adown,
So Douglas bade, the hood and veil,
And frontlet of the cloister pale,
And Benedictine gown:

A radical, unlikely determine has emerged because the icon of Haiti’s months-long protests towards President Jovenel Moïse, who stands accused of embezzling tens of millions in public funds.
That determine is Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the black Haitian revolutionary who defeated the French to free Haiti from colonial rule in 1804. By summoning Dessalines, Haitian protesters implicitly distinction the achievements of that revolution — freedom, common citizenship and racial equality — with the disappointments of the Moïse authorities.
Dessalines wrote a radical structure that eradicated racial hierarchy, established equality earlier than the regulation and instituted freedom of faith in Haiti.
Considered one of Haiti’s opposition political events is known as “Pitit Dessalines” — Youngsters of Dessalines.
Associated: From the ashes, a Haitian enterprise proprietor wonders, ‘How lengthy can we proceed?’
When demonstrations started final 12 months, easy stenciled photos of Dessalines sporting a navy hat and holding a protest signal appeared on partitions throughout the capital. This 12 months, at a number of marches, males in revolutionary-era garb have ridden the streets of Port-au-Prince on horseback. They had been waving Dessalines’ red-and-black model of the Haitian flag inscribed with the phrases “Viv Lib ou Mouri” — “Stay Free or Die.”
A dedication to equality
I’m writing a biography of Dessalines, who has lengthy been overshadowed outdoors of Haiti by the previously enslaved revolutionary chief Toussaint Louverture, who is commonly heralded as Haiti’s founding father regardless of dying earlier than independence.
My analysis on the diplomacy and state-building practices of Dessalines, performed utilizing archives from the Caribbean, North America and Europe, reveals the Americas’ first black head of state to be a groundbreaking enlightenment thinker and revolutionary chief.
On the time of his delivery, round 1758, Haiti — then a French Caribbean slavery-based colony referred to as Saint-Domingue — was essentially the most profitable colony on the earth. By the point of Dessalines’ 1806 assassination, it was the Americas’ first sovereign abolitionist state.
Although European and American powers refused to acknowledge the younger nation, Dessalines steadfastly rebuffed any concession to world powers that may undermine Haiti’s hard-won independence.
In early 1804, Dessalines even declined to signal a treaty with the British governor of Jamaica that might have given Haiti diplomatic recognition. The rationale: It will have restricted Haitian sea journey and allowed the British to occupy a strategic fort.
Just a few months earlier than, when Dessalines found that white Frenchmen had been plotting to overthrow his authorities, he ordered the execution of all remaining French individuals in Haiti. Some ladies and youngsters had been focused in these public executions.
Associated: Meet the Petrochallengers: A brand new technology needs to carry accountability to Haiti. Can they succeed?
White world leaders took observe of Dessalines’ ugly retaliation towards the French, which can have contributed to Haiti’s diplomatic isolation within the early 19th century. Haiti’s independence would go unrecognized till 1825, when France lastly conceded that it had misplaced the warfare.
To take care of Haitian autonomy, Dessalines’ structure additionally declared that solely Haitian residents and the Haitian authorities might personal land and property in Haiti.
However he additionally established a coverage of providing refuge in Haiti for the downtrodden and oppressed of the Americas. Within the a long time to come back, Haiti would welcome 13,000 African People who fled racial discrimination within the southern US and plenty of others fleeing slavery within the Caribbean islands.
Dessalines is the one Haitian revolutionary to have been integrated into the Haitian faith as a spirit, named Ogou Desalin. Amongst Haitian spirits, the Ogou are generally known as warriors. Ogou Desalin is the warrior who defends liberty.
Wished: authorities accountability
This legacy underpins Haitians’ want for a brand new type of independence — an existence freed from predatory leaders and reliance on worldwide assist that comes with strings hooked up.
After the 2010 earthquake, many Haitians hoped that the devastation would encourage constructive change. As an alternative, the inflow of overseas assist and world funding in Haiti opened the door for the corruption that has tainted Haiti’s final two leaders.
Moïse’s predecessor, Michel Martelly, departed workplace amid scandal in February 2016 with no successor in place, leaving the nation with a provisional authorities. Moïse, a businessman who was Martelly’s chosen successor, turned president in February 2017 with 56% of the vote.
Associated: Contained in the Kingdom of Hayti, ‘the Wakanda of the Western Hemisphere’
To discourage the fraud that had marred current presidential elections in Haiti, screens from the Group of American States supervised the vote. However many Haitians nonetheless doubted that Moise’s victory was respectable.
By late 2017, Haitians had realized that Moïse was implicated in an embezzlement scheme involving US$2 billion meant to finance infrastructure growth within the nation. The pillaged funds got here from a world group referred to as PetroCaribe, which sells Venezuelan fuel and oil to Caribbean nations at decreased price to unlock cash for growth. Beneath Martelly and Moïse, Haiti’s more money appears to have disappeared.
To make issues worse, Venezuela’s personal political and financial disaster has rendered the PetroCaribe program unable to fulfill Haiti’s oil and fuel wants, creating an acute fuel scarcity. In mid-2018, Haiti’s authorities raised the price of fuel by 38%.
Saying they’re struggling the direct penalties of presidency corruption, indignant Haitians have demanded Moïse’s resignation. The president, who has largely retreated from the general public eye, refuses.
Legacies of imperialism
Dessalines’ monitor document as a frontrunner was not good, both.
Shortly after he overthrew French rule, Dessalines declared himself emperor of Haiti and revived the plantation system that revolutionaries had simply burned to the bottom. Discipline employees had been referred to as “cultivateurs,” and so they acquired some pay or a share of their crop. Nonetheless, they had been certain to a particular plantation.
This type of coerced labor resembled the US sharecropping system and others that arose throughout the Americas after slavery ended.
Each of those conflicting portrayals scale back Dessalines to a one-dimensional character. The protesters impressed by his legacy aren’t essentially ignoring Dessalines’ shortcomings. As an alternative, they’re championing his unwavering dedication to rid the nation of overseas rule in order that Haitians might dwell “by ourselves and for ourselves.”

Hi, was the room you stayed in a Double Twin with 2 Double Beds and 1 sofa bed? Am thinking of staying there with my wife and 3 kids...
The room has a king size bed with a single sofa bed. The room we stayed in might be too small for your family with 3 kids.
The room is 2 double bed and a single sofa bed..you will fit but if you have a lot of luggage,it will be a tight squeeze..good if you are not spending time in room and just go back to sleep..let the hotel know how many are staying
It was a king or queen and the other a comfy like full futon it was me and my 2 sons tall we were comfortable .
We had two double rooms with 3 people in each which worked well. The photos on their website are pretty accurate, and room size is small, that seems standard in Japan. Nice place to stay though. Check with hotel, or on website. Have English speakers.

U of M sets course for cure of fatal childhood skin disease
Physicians at the University of Minnesota and University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, Fairview have set the path to a cure for a young boy's fatal genetic skin disease, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), by using a cord blood and bone marrow transplant. Nate Liao, a 25-month-old from Clarksburg, N.J., underwent the experimental therapy in October 2007.
"We have established a new standard of care for these EB patients, beginning with Nate," said John Wagner, M.D., the lead University of Minnesota Medical School physician who developed the clinical trial. "Nate's quality of life is forever changed."
Because they lack collagen type VII, children with RDEB have skin that is exquisitely delicate. The skin and lining of their gastrointestinal (GI) tract is fragile; tearing and blistering occur with minimal friction. Coughing and vomiting often result in tears in the lining of the esophagus and stomach. Those affected must have their entire body continuously wrapped in bandages. Those who do not succumb from malnutrition and infection in childhood will acquire a uniformly fatal, aggressive cancer of the skin in young adulthood.
In collaboration with Angela M. Christiano, Ph.D., professor of dermatology and genetics and development at Columbia University Medical Center (New York, N.Y.), and investigators at Asahikawa Medical College (Asahikawa, Japan), and Jefferson Medical College (Philadelphia, Penn.), University of Minnesota researchers, Jakub Tolar, M.D., Ph.D., and Bruce Blazar, M.D., discovered that certain stem cells found in bone marrow could correct the biochemical defect in RDEB in a mouse model of the disease. Marrow-derived stem cells greatly lengthened the life expectancy of the mice and healed existing blisters. Further testing by Columbia demonstrated that for the first time, these mice were producing collagen type VII and anchoring fibrils, the structures needed to bind skin to the body.
This is the first time physicians have approached the treatment of RDEB from a systemic perspective, using marrow-derived stem cells as a means to replace the missing protein, collagen type VII, throughout the body. Through the infusion of cells obtained from a healthy donor, the stem cells produce collagen type VII and correct the underlying genetic defect.
In October 2007, Nate Liao received marrow- and umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and progenitor cells from his healthy, tissue-matched brother. Over the next six months, the skin and lining of his GI tract slowly improved, and skin biopsies on days 60, 130, and 200 documented increasing amounts of collagen type VII. By day 130, Nate's skin and the lining of his GI tract were beginning to show clinical signs that his skin was anchoring to his body.
Wagner and his team sought an external review of the skin biopsies. Photographs of the biopsies have been sent to dermatopathologists in London, England, and Portland, Ore., for independent analysis. Based on the success seen in Nate, Wagner will enroll additional RDEB patients into the clinical trial. Jacob Liao, Nate's brother who also has RDEB, received an unrelated donor cord blood transplant on May 30.
