One third of men have never changed their bed sheets, new research shows
16 July 2020, 13:03
The new study reveals just how different men and women are when it comes to chores around the house.
Everyone loves the feeling of new bed sheets, but does anyone really love the process? Of course not – but we still do it.
Well, apparently not all of us, as a new study has revealed that a shocking one third of men have never changed their own bed sheets.
The research was carried out by cleaning company Maid2Match, who surveyed 1,000 men and women across the UK, Australia and USA to find out about their shocking – and not so shocking – cleaning habits.
Let's start with the most shocking findings – the study found that 53 per cent of men admitted to performing chores poorly in order to get out of doing them again.
And bearing in mind the research leaders counted chores as anything from ironing, washing up, vacuuming, dusting, polishing, laundry, garbage and mopping, we were speechless.
If one third of men not changing their sheets isn't bad enough, the research also showed that most households still have the woman doing most, if not all, the household chores.
Two thirds of women asked in the survey said that they do the most cleaning between them and their partner, if not all of it.
While these results are making us slightly lose faith in equality, it should be noted that the results found men in the UK were the most helpful.
British men help with two fifths of the chores, while Australian men only help with one quarter.
And then there's the USA results, which showed that men in America only help out around the house 18 per cent of the time.
While married women spend on average two and a half hours cleaning in a week, married men only spend thirty-five minutes, the study found.
Pretty shocking results, right? Well, just to make you that little bit more angry, the study also found that 26 per cent of men don't feel like they get praised enough for helping out around the house.

Hello friends Welcome to a new ground report Today, we have come to Amsterdam This city is called the cycling capital of the world because there are so many cycles here The number of cycles here is equal to the population of this city, that is 8,50,000 I feel like our country can learn a lot about urban planning from this city So this is what we will talk about in today’s video that the infrastructure that they have built up for cycling and have freed the city from cars How have they been able to do that? And can we do this in our country and our cities? Come, let us see 75% of the students in the city use cycles everyday while commuting to school And talking in general, only 19% of the people living here use cars The area of the entire city is around 200 square kilometers And the cycling tracks that have been laid down in the city are more than 400 square kilometers What is surprising is that the city wasn’t always like this In the 1950s and 1960s when there was an economic boom, then the cars had started to get popular The government decided to demolish buildings to make space for roads so that cars could ply on them This is a photo from the 1960s when this work was ongoing and the government was making space for the cars and constructing roads In 1950, the cycling usage in Amsterdam was at 80% But by the time 1970s arrived, it fell to a mere 20%, as you can see in the chart Along with the increased popularity of cars, traffic accidents also increased They increased to such an extent that the year of 1971 was the peak year of traffic accidents in Amsterdam That year, more than 3,300 people were killed in road accidents within a span of one year out of which,
more than 400 were children And then, a miracle happened in the 1970s The people slowly started realising how detrimental these cars were for their city A civil disobedience movement was started A movement, the name of which was, “Stop de Kindermoord” If you translate it, it would mean, stop the murder of the children because so many children were being killed daily in traffic accidents In this movement, the people started organizing rallies in 1970s They started protesting in different ways. You can see the type of protests in the photos Huge rallies of cycles were organized Had this happened in our country, the police would have lathi charged upon them But here the police was quite understanding The police supported them because they understood that they were protesting for the city’s good The politicians here too, were not like the politicians of our country They looked into this problem and heard the voices of the people, accepted the problem And gradually, they too conceded that this was indeed a problem and they should take some action against it This movement was even subsidised by the government a few years later Such was the support shown by the politicians too, for this movement!
There was a huge oil crisis in 1973 The petrol prices increased by 4 times due to the oil crisis So it became even more difficult for people to afford cars So after 1973, the politicians pushed the people strongly A movement was kick-started to exhort people to leave cars and use cycles instead So there was this activism on one hand that was contributing towards this And on the other hand, there was this oil crisis which further forced people to quit cars and focus on cycles The government started this process of transition with car free Sundays Earlier, cars were restricted only on Sundays Later, they started laying cycle tracks all over the city They were painted in red color And later, they also realized that laying one or two cycle tracks is going to yield nothing They needed to lay a network of cycle tracks in order to motivate people If one had to commute from any point in the city to another, then there should be a cycle track to reach there It should not be that tracks are laid on only one or two main roads So they laid cycle tracks on a lot of roads And then gradually, block by block they started restricting cars As of 2019, even today, the government is constantly looking for newer ways to promote cycles and restrict cars For example, making parking spots costlier so that people reduce the use of cars if car parking becomes costlier For example, completely banning cars block by block Laying down newer tracks for cycles For example, public transportation.. They have a new plan for the future that public transport usage is completely free for children younger than 12 years So that right from the childhood the children are taught to use public transport over cars and use cycles In most of the cities, there is an underground parking spot for cars But in this city, you would find an underground parking for cycles and that too, multidecker Look, here you can park your cycle And all pf this parking for cycling is all over the city in different places and is completely free for the people I’ve criticized cars so much in this video that it might have come to your mind that it must be hell to have to drive through Amsterdam and every one must hate driving here But it is not so In fact, reality is the complete opposite Driving satisfaction index is an index that measures how safe people feel and how happy they are while driving, and what is the quality of driving You’d be surprised to know which country is rank 1 is in the Driving Satisfaction Index Netherlands- the people here and the drivers are the happiest in the world Its surprising, isn’t it? that how the government here is trying to make the roads narrower,
restrict the cars, promote cycles But despite that the people here are happy while driving. How is that possible? There is a simple reason behind this- Traffic It is always fun to drive if no one else is driving at that time If the roads are narrower and there is only one lane, and fewer people are driving, then the ones driving cars would enjoy doing it This is the reason why the drivers here are so happy Accidents are also few and maybe, if I draw its comparison, then Delhi’s odd even rule I had heard from a lot of people during this rule that… Do you know what they like the most about this rule? That the roads are empty while driving The traffic is minimal You can app,y the same logic here When the roads are empty and traffic is minimal, then the people enjoy driving more The biggest question that arises here is whether Indian cities can draw inspiration from this? The people of Amsterdam had their eyes opened when more than 3000 of its people were killed in road accidents in the span of one year Do you know what the condition in India is? More than 1.5 lakh people only in 2018, over the span of one year, have been killed in road accidents But who amongst us cares? Right now, if you raise an issue of a temple then thousands of people would be ready to riot But lakhs of people get killed in road accidents every year- yet no one cares. But coming to the point, if we have to apply this in India, then how can it be done? When you think about laying cycling tracks and reducing cars in India, then I’ve seen that there are three major issues that arise in people’s minds The first argument: India’s population is humongous. Things like these befit a European country But there are so many people in India, there is no space on the roads, we don’t get space to drive cars on roads Where would we lay down the cycling tracks? Let us now look at the facts The fact is that the space required for the parking of one car 10 cycles can be parked in that space Scientific research tells us that in a car lane, 1600 people can bypass per hour And if the same lane is converted into a cycling lane, then 7,500 people can bypass in it in an hour So do you understand?
If you convert a car lane into a cycling lane, then five times more people could travel through it Look at another graphic If we have an area large enough for five car lanes and two footpath lanes Then around 12,300 people can pass by per hour But if you remove four out of the five car lanes, and if you lay down two bike lanes, a bus lane and an extra footpath, then the capacity increases almost three times upto 30,000 people Do you understand the logic? If our population is more, then it makes even more sense that we reduce car lanes and make cycling tracks So that more people can pass through and the population can be accommodated Obviously, the biggest challenge that would arise in Indian cities is that while constructing cycling lanes they would need to be separated from the car lanes, barricades would have to be put in between It could also be done the way it is done in Amsterdam- trees have been grown in between So that cars cannot enter the cycling lane and the cyclists feel safe being separate from the cars And since there are a lot of illegal works done in India, for example, if a lane has been constructed for cycling but cars enter it, then it can be avoided like this Another argument that people would raise is that the Indian weather isn’t suited for this The weather in Europe is cool, so it fun to cycle But India faces such harsh summers, then who would cycle here? Hence the cycles cannot be ridden, it isn’t possible First of all, I’d like to tell you that Europe faces snowfall in winters. The people cycle even in the snow There are a alot of rains also. The people cycle even in the rains So there cannot be an excuse for these two weathers I do accept that the summers are harsh in India There is a simple solution to this and that is e-bikes and e-scooters E-scooters look somewhat like this which are very popular on the roads of Europe You can ride these on cycling tracks You can also ride e bikes on cycling tracks because their upper speed limit is around 25 kilometers per hour So if people can ride a motorbike on Highways in India, So e scooters is a very good alternative in which you do not have to put in any effort on your own so you won’t sweat as much This can be done in the summers in India and in the rest of the weathers, one can opt for cycling For the third argument you could say okay, I accept that this is possible and can be done in India, but how will you get this done? How will you convince people to opt for cycling? How will you convince the governments to lay down the cycling tracks? How will everyone get convinced here? In my opinion, this is a valid argument This will be the most challenging part regarding this entire issue How to convince the people and the governments In my opinion, this thing can be done in phases The first step would be to make car free Sundays for the people Motivate people to use cycle instead of cars on Sundays So the people might feel a little motivated Another first step could be to restrict cars from popular public areas For example, a start could be made from Delhi’s CP area Cars could be banned in the inner and the outer circles in the Connaught place Allow only cycling and e scooters there If imposed at one place then the people would start using it, testing it how it works and then we’d learn and can adopt it in the rest of the public areas There are a lot of places like this in Delhi and Mumbai where block by block we can restrict cars And actually, the idea to ban cars from the Connaught Place isn’t new It has been making rounds since quite some time, In fact in 2019, the government had conducted trial runs on it But the problem was that the shopkeepers and traders there began to argue that people won’t come to their shops anymore if cars were banned from that place In my opinion the traders and shopkeepers need to understand that that’s not how it works If you look at the foreign experiments and the trial runs that have been conducted Research tells us that if cars are banned then the people feel motivated to walk more They’d come to the shops more and want to spend longer times there So this logic does not fit well and in my opinion, this is the reason why after the trail runs no government dared to restrict cars there because the people themselves were so dead against it So you can see that it is very important to convince the people as a first step for example, you can do it by sharing this video Another such trial run was attempted in Hyderabad- Charminar Pedestrian Project The area nearby the Charminar monument were to be declared car free And in fact this idea struck the government in 1999 Ever since, attempts have been made to put it into action and to implement it And till date, work has not yet been completed on it Even today, construction has been ongoing Our governments are extremely slow So that is why I would say that this is definitely possible We can draw inspiration and make our cities better But if there is a lack of anything, then it is awareness And all I’d like to say is that how much our governments focus on these real issues is in our hands to a huge extent If the public itself is interested in futile topics and remains interested in issues like faith, then the government too, would put its attention there But if a public voice rises and the public demands that they want to focus on real issues like urban planning and city planning then the government’s attention too can be attracted there So share this video. Share it on the email addresses of your MPs and MLAs Share it on your social media handles Tag your politicians so that they too can focus on issues like these and learn from here So that our cities too become better for living and so that our quality of life improves.

Phil Haberthur: Battle Ground deputy mayor. Vancouver attorney. Burrito pusher?
As of Sept. 20, Phil, and his wife, Lisa, are the proud owners of the Hazel Dell Baja Fresh, 7801 N.E. Highway 99.
The Haberthurs partnered with Phil’s coworker Bradley Anderson and his wife, Deanne, to purchase the restaurant.
The attorneys don’t plan to give up practicing law in favor of the burrito biz, though.
Phil and his wife were simply looking for a new venture, he said.
“We wanted to have something we could grow on our own and maybe have to pass onto our kids some day,” Phil said.
This isn’t Phil’s or Lisa’s first experience with small businesses.
Phil’s parents own four Party City stores in the area. As a teen, he helped open the store in Clackamas and worked in the stores throughout college.
Lisa worked for various small-businesses, many in the food service industry, Phil said.
Lisa operates the restaurant and Phil assists her. He also has an important role in the quality control division where he serves as an official taste tester.
Here are some other interesting Baja Phil tidbits:
-Phil’s favorite menu item: Shrimp tacos with new seasonal cranberry salsa.
-Prior to buying the restaurant, Phil ate at Baja Fresh often. Like, at least once a week.
“My wife teases me and said that’s why we had to own it, because we were there as much as the owner was.”
-Phil claims to eat there less now that he owns the place. However, the day we spoke about his new venture he had just returned from lunch … at Baja Fresh.
-Phil does not plan to bring burritos to the Battle Ground City Council meetings.
“If I bring them in, people are going to say, ‘He’s trying to sway council members’ votes by giving them burritos.'”

The Forêt-la-Blanche Ecological Réserve is located on the territory of the municipalities of Mulgrave-et-Derry, Mayo and Saint-Sixte in the MRC of Papineau. It is located northeast of the former municipality of Buckingham (now part of the City of Gatineau) and covers an area of 2,052 hectares. The Forêt-la-Blanche Ecological Reserve was officially established in the fall of 2003.
This Ecological Reserve allows the preservation of one of the last representative examples of the primitive forest of southwestern Quebec. It also allows the protection of many plants designated or likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable.
The territory is largely covered by stands of beech trees. Yellow birch and beech stands, yellow birch and basswood stands, hemlock stands, as well as beech and ironwood stands also cover significant areas.
Many forest stands making up the territory of the Forêt-la-Blanche ecological reserve present characteristics necessary to be qualified as exceptional forest ecosystems, due to the very advanced age or rarity of these forests. Some of these stands have never been affected by human activity and have suffered very little natural disturbance (decline, major windfalls, fires)..
Some species designated threatened and vulnerable find refuge on the territory of this Ecological Reserve. Certain plants likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable have also been identified. These are Back’s sedge, marsh mermaid weed, showy orchid, broad-leaved sedge (Carex platyphylla) and spiny hornwort (Ceratophyllum echinatum). It should also be noted that this ecological reserve preserves the habitat of a wide variety of birds, including the Cerulean Warbler, a species likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable. It also ensures the protection of an important heron colony.
As part of an educational program offered by the Les Amis de la Forêt-la-Blanche, the territory of the ecological reserve is accessible to people with an access permit (entry fees).

Keyless Locking for Trade Show & Exhibition Booths
Protecting booths at trade shows is a challenge. After all, exhibitors want a constant stream of high traffic, especially from people they are meeting for the first time. It’s why they attend such large-scale fairs.
Relying on exhibition-provided security is sadly not enough. Individual stands need their own protection — for areas where valuable equipment, product samples or confidential commercial documents are kept.
“Code Handle has a stylish design, easy installation and eliminates the need for physical keys,”
Adelfio Marino, Logistics Centre Manager at ExpoFactory.
Barcelona-based ExpoFactory specialize in the design and build of award-winning exhibition stands for the MICE, retail and habitats/architecture sectors**. They understand that booth security is integral to customers’ needs — and that keeping booths safe is not easy.
They hoped to identify an innovative, modern solution which would be more flexible and convenient than mechanical lock-and-key security.
Two more factors were critical in their choice. Firstly, easy installation, to ensure that fitting locks did not slow down their build process. Secondly, and equally important: The ability to easily reset and reuse devices. ExpoFactory need locks which can be trusted to last.
Everyone has their own PIN — no one carries keys
To replace manual, mechanical keys and cylinders, they chose Code Handle Door, a digital PIN door lock housed within an elegant handle. So far, 60 devices have been equipped.
With a Code Handle, all that’s needed to unlock is a secure 4- to 6-digit PIN. There’s no key to use, lose or track — and no worries that it’s been copied.
“Code Handle has a stylish design, easy installation and eliminates the need for physical keys,” says Adelfio Marino, Logistics Centre Manager at ExpoFactory.
Installation is fast: the Code Handle fits over a standard cylinder and is fixed in place by two screws. Batteries slot inside for a minimal footprint. There’s no wiring or software to worry about. When the event is finished, it’s simple to reset the device ready to incorporate in another trade show stand.
Code Handle instantly upgrades booth security. It makes sure only the right people have access, not just anyone who happens upon the key. With no keys to track, organizing stand security is easier, too. Everyone on the stand works faster because they don’t wait for a keyholder to appear. With Code Handle, the team leader chooses up to 9 different PINs for authorized staff (and cancels them anytime).
It’s also a convenient digital solution tailor-made for busy trade shows: “Everything was easy and effective,” adds Adelfio. “And it makes our final product of higher quality. The customer prefers it.”
With its unique combination of durability, stylish design and ease-of-use, the Code Handle digital lock has already been deployed to separate public and private spaces in all kinds of settings — from clinics and pharmacies to shops and home offices.

Why are the families due financial compensation for their loss? It is simple. Schools advertise that they provide a safe and secure learning environment. They spend millions on security systems; there are federal laws governing requirements to warn faculty, staff, and students of threats, and schools accept money from families to educate their children in a protected environment. The exchange of money creates a contract. When school, medical, and police officials break that contract because of incompetence or stupidity, and it results in injury or death, families are owed compensation.
Furthermore, the loss of a child or spouse causes untold emotional hardship, which may result in thousands of dollars in medical costs. The psychological trauma of a lost child can immobilize a parent, making it next to impossible for the parent to hold down a job for years.
Following the state of Virginia’s settlement with 30 of the Virginia Tech victims’ families, a number of people wrote letters to the editor and blogs criticizing this use of taxpayer money. Some incredibly unkind individuals accused the Tech families of greed, of trying to make money off the tragedy. This accusation is simply not true.
Specialists in grief counseling will tell you that rarely do victims of such horrors as the Virginia Tech massacre ask, “How much can I get out of this?’ “Who can I sue?” Certainly, the Virginia Tech families didn’t. Litigation is usually the last resort and comes when victims’ families realize they are not being told the truth. Again, grief counselors will tell you that it is far more likely that the survivors and families of survivors and victims will be more concerned about the wellbeing of others than about themselves. Civil litigation did not occur in the Virginia Tech case until it was readily apparent the families were at a disadvantage in access to reports and documents, and that people were not telling the truth. The families didn’t want money; they wanted what they needed the most and did not get—accuracy and accountability.
These same individuals frequently argue that no one can be held responsible for anyone else’s actions and that therefore the financial settlement was not justified. This assertion is not only contrary to a whole body of legal opinion, but shows a lack of knowledge, understanding, empathy, and conscience. Furthermore, to deny a family a miserly $100,000 compensation for the loss of a child is disgraceful.
Less than six weeks after the shootings Virginia Tech signed an agreement with one of the nation’s largest public relations firms, Burson-Marsteller, to spin the story of the tragedy in such a way as to do minimal damage to Virginia Tech and its administration.
In other words, the school paid $663,000.00 to a public relations firm, when Virginia Tech had its own office that dealt with public relations.
And for those of you worried about wasting taxpayers’ money, remember that Tech has some of the best minds in the country, yet it spent nearly $700,000 on outside public relations talent.
From my 51 years of work with law enforcement and intelligence officers, I can assure you there were people far more qualified than TriData employees to write the report on the shooting massacre at Virginia Tech. And, they would probably have volunteered to do the work.
This cavalier spending of over a million dollars by the state and by Virginia Tech University in an effort to manipulate opinion following the nation’s worst school shooting was the waste of taxpayers’ money, not the $100,000 the families received for the murder of their children and spouses.
So all of this begs the question: why are people ignoring the actions of the school and the state of Virginia? Why are they focused on pushing the families past a tragedy that can only be endured, never forgotten? In fact, when these well-meaning people say it is time for the Virginia Tech families to move on, they are really saying, we need to move on; we don’t want to think about that tragedy or any school shooting. We don’t want to think this could happen to us.
Unfortunately, when you have lost a loved one so suddenly and so tragically, not thinking about that loss simply isn’t an option. The Virginia Tech families will never stop thinking about the events of April 16, 2007—it will be with them every day of their lives. (To be continued)

The poetic and symbolic nature of John's gospel betrays the weakness of historical-critical and other "scientific" methods of scriptural exegesis: Although valuable for the insights they do provide, scientific methods are not sensitive to the spiritual dimensions of biblical revelation. Father Dumm therefore offers something more than the traditional chapter-and-verse commentary. Understanding that all of the gospels were written after the resurrection and, consequently, that the passion narrative greatly influenced how the earlier chapters were composed, Father Dumm gives more prominence to the climax of the career of Jesus: his passion, death, and resurrection. By beginning "at the end," Father Dumm uncovers the guiding principle of this gospel. In the process he makes some surprising discoveries about the dangers of religious ritual but finds remedy for these dangers in the importance of personal mystical experience within the context of a believing community.

Interphase-fluorescence in situ hybridization and quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction are efficient tools for the rapid exclusion of selected aneuploidies in addition to the established direct preparation of chromosomes from chorionic villi. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization has also made possible the diagnosis of selected chromosome abnormalities in single cells (e.g. in preimplantation genetic diagnosis) or noninvasive diagnosis. More complex multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization approaches are currently being evaluated. Single cell polymerase chain reaction is the key technique for the molecular diagnosis of a growing number of monogenic conditions before implantation or, still more experimental, in fetal cells retrieved from the maternal circulation. New sources for noninvasive diagnosis came into play such as fetal DNA or cell nuclei in maternal plasma. The combination of biochemical parameters in the maternal serum, namely free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin with pregnancy associated plasma protein A and sonographic markers, has already dramatically increased the sensitivity of risk screening in the first trimester of pregnancy. aDivision of Medical Genetics, University Children's Hospital and bUniversity Women's Hospital, Basel, Switzerland Correspondence to Professor Wolfgang Holzgreve, University Women's Hospital, Schanzenstrasse 46, CH-4031 Basel, Switzerland.

Ok, so not really sure if anyone but fans actually reads this, but I've started a group on facebook to try and gain support to get Pink to Darwin, Australia. Initially, it was started when we heard the announcement that Pink was the new 'face' of the V8 Supercars. The local (oh so reliable =) newspaper had a front page teaser making us believe that it was possible she could come to Darwin as part of the V8 series. I quickly realised that a clashing tour date in Europe meant there was no way in hell this was going to happen, but.... I'd already started the group and people were supporting it. So, I figure even though Pink won't be here for the actual race weekend, chances are she will come to Australia at some point after she's finished up in Europe in July. One can only dream hey! lol.
Anyway... after exactly 1 week of setting up the group, we now have just over 1000 supporters and it seems to be growing every minute! It's actually almost addictive sitting here each night refreshing the page to see how many people are actually supporting this! Crazy huh!?? =D
So, Pink, if you do actually read this stuff, we'd really appreciate a gig in our great city. It's pretty much the only one you missed from the Oz Funhouse Tour! I did manage to meet my bff in Sydney for the weekend to catch your last show, so I'm not complaining too much! =D I just figure that Darwin really deserves to get some great entertainers here and I'm sure you & C would love it! I'll even get the VB in the fridge for you. hahahahaha
And, for all the fans out there that may actually come across this post and read it, please feel free to check out our group on Facebook. If you want to join to support the cause, we'd all really appreciate it too! Just search the group 'Bring Pink to Darwin!!'.
Thanks heaps! x

I first discovered the music of Ha$h through a mutual friend R&B singer Darian Holmes who ironically is on the new EP. Sharing a vibe on the song, “My Favorite.” When I first heard the track that got my attention my reaction was, this guy is bold! Rapping over Biggie’s Grew Up a Screw Up. You cannot mess up something from Biggie! Ha$h did not disappoint! The new album “I AM WHO I AM” shows his continued growth as an artist. “My vision was to show elevation and maturation in my craft. I’m always trying to outdo my last effort!”
Part of Ha$h’s vision was to have the entire EP produced exclusively by one person. That person, producer Ice Cold! “I was lucky enough to have one of the hottest producers in Denver have faith in my art! Not too many producers out here are on his level!” It is no surprise that for Ha$h, music has been a way of life since birth. “This rap shit saved my life a thousand times. Never really thought about what else I would be doing. This is my life!” You can see that Ha$h has a musical style all his own. “I would describe my music as direct, punchy, relatable, heartfelt story telling hip hop bars!”
Ha$h’s music is different that most of the mainstream music these days. It gives musically an air of days past while ripping lyrics of current day. “My creativity is spontaneous, the process differs song to song. Most of the time I come up with the verses and hooks in my head. If I’m not in a position to write them down, I will memorize them. Sometimes you just go in the booth and come off the top!” Over the last couple of years Ha$h’s brand has continued to elevate and grow. He is moving to create generational wealth for his family.
Musical influences have a huge part to play on who we become, especially when you become a musical artist. Starting from his very first Black Sheep tape that he purchased, to artists like Jay-Z, Pusha T, Nas, and Benny the Butcher, the influences are apparent. All artists spin their own style. “I think what makes me different is the authenticity and relatability. When people listen to my music, they can see this shit. You can only bring it like I do if you’ve been where I been.”
Ha$h grew up in Petersburg, VA (by way of Junction City, KS) but found his way in 2003 to Denver, CO. “I’d been doing shows out here and just fell in love with the city.” In the future he would like to travel to Central/South America. “I recently found out that places like Mexico City and Brazil are the biggest hubs for music consumption! It would be dope to perform infront of a nice size crowd down there and have people vibe with my music, even if they don’t really speak the language!” Ha$h spoke about his love of performing and letting his strong presence demand the attention of the audience. Likening himself to a boxer stepping into the ring. “I be all up in the peoples face with it, feeding off the energy of the crowd!”
Ha$h plans to continue to grow as an artist. “I am always trying to outdo myself. Making sure my next step is a step above the last!” Ha$h also spoke about evolving on the business side and continuing to work on his clothing brand. “My past isn’t pretty but I’m glad it’s like that. It made me who I am today and gave me substance for my art. I feel like I have been an artist and created music my entire life. My bars come from the struggle!” Going forward Ha$h wants to maintain a lane for music with substance. Putting real effort into his craft. Ha$h is on the rise, and we look forward to seeing what’s next for this creative musical artist!

Hip hop has traveled a long way since it first came to fruition on the streets of New York more than 35 years ago. What commenced as block party boredom has since blossomed into a $10 billion dollar industry spanning everything from soft drinks to perfume. But for those of us that grew up during hip hop’s early years, it isn’t what it used to be.
The precise “golden age” of hip hop is, of course, a debate unlikely to be resolved any time soon. To some, it’s the ‘80s. To others, it’s the ‘70s. But for me, there is no debate. The golden era will always be the late ‘80s through the early ‘90s, as the U.S. witnessed the mainstream emergence of West Coast rap.
West Coast rap was more than just funky bass lines, synths, and Zapp & Roger inspired talk boxes. It was a lifestyle—an open journal—an unapologetic commentary on the state of the streets. It was, for lack of a better term, “gangster.” It embodied the kind of shoes you wore, the kind of car you drove, and even how you drove it.
Admittedly, some of this is nostalgia on my part. I grew up during the 90s. I remember listening to It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube while cruising in my pearl ’67 Impala. I remember polishing my Chuck Taylors and bright white Nike Cortezes before hitting up the market or neighborhood house party.
Emcees on the East Coast didn’t stitch their street names in Old English across the back of their sweatshirts. Emcees in the Deep South didn’t know about Locs and Cascades. All of these things were uniquely West Coast. And like it or not, the West Coast was unlike anywhere else in the world, a unique blend of Black and Chicano culture. It was new school—with an oldie twist.
It was everywhere. In Compton, Eazy-E and DJ Quik blended ‘70s funk with the hardship of the ghetto. In East Los Angeles, Kid Frost kicked jams with Rick James. And in Pico Union, Psycho Realm blended ‘50s melodies with the sensibilities of the barrio.
Even metal bands like Suicidal Tendencies burst onto the music scene wielding a noticeable West Coast twist.
The artistic emphasis on life in the streets also wasn’t exclusive to Los Angeles. In the Bay Area, E-40, Too Short, and Rappin’ 4-Tay dominated the radio waves. In San Diego, Knightowl, Lil Rob, and Mr. Shadow, dominated the clubs.
But today one would be hard pressed to find an entire album laid back enough to barbecue or cruise to on a Saturday afternoon. On one hand, melodies of the “g-funk” era have given way to the pulsating rhythms of the club era (at least before COVID-19). On the other, Ben Davis and Dickies have given way to Instagram posers and skinny jeans.
For years, a handful of artists, primarily Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle, have been tasked with carrying the torch. But with Nipsey Hussle gone, and a younger generation gravitating toward newer genres like mumble rap, there are few—if any—notable West Coast artists left to carry the sonic legacy of traditional West Coast rap on a mainstream level.
This doesn’t mean the beats and sounds that once defined West Coast rap don’t still thrive in niche circles. They do. What it does mean, however, is that few of those artists have managed to breakout beyond the imaginary confines of the West Coast.
Were the ‘90s really just another era? Is “mumble rap” really the best successor Millennials and Gen-Z could come up with?
Without a doubt, the decline of mainstream West Coast hip hop has been nothing short of remarkable. However, the more I think about it, the more I’m also convinced it’s not entirely a bad thing.
While one would be hard pressed to deny the impact groups like NWA had on mainstream music, the explosion of West Coast rap during the 90s also led to an explosion of halfhearted copycats and emulators, many who lacked proper context and understanding of West Coast culture.
As a result, the media often focused more on the gangs and violence of the West Coast than the unique social, economic, and political landscape bubbling below the surface. Yet it was the influence of this landscape that truly made West Coast rap what it was.
The mainstreaming of West Coast culture also led to a watering down of the rawness that once gave it edge. Like the fusion of punk rock and metal further north—pioneered by late Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain—record labels swooped in, refined it, renamed it (“grunge”), packaged it, and sold it until consumers were fatigued.
Today, Chicano rap arguably bares the closest resemblance to traditional West Coast rap of any sub-genre. This is particularly true of newer artists like Misfit Soto or CNG, who have deliberately made an effort to shatter the traditional mold, while retaining all of the familiar West Coast elements.
In addition, artists like Fingazz and MC Magic have built entire careers off utilizing keyboards and talk-boxes. To this extent, many of the traditional elements of West Coast rap continue to dominate the West Coast underground, even if it isn’t considered “mainstream” to the rest of the country.
Or maybe West Coast rap will never be what it was. Its prime has come and gone. Nobody is destined to restore or save it. And only those who were lucky enough to be there will ever truly appreciate what it was.
After all, as hectic as it might seem sometimes, the world has come a long way since the 90s.
In either case, it’s been a fantastic voyage.

Recently, Medical Daily reported a non-invasive cellulite reduction system, received FDA clearance for results that last for two years, the longest of any cellulite reduction system currently on the market. This clearance is exciting news for patients who are looking for a long-lasting, effective solution for their cellulite, according to Dr. Robert Weiss, director of the premier MD Laser Skin and Vein Institute in Baltimore, and a principal investigator in the initial clinical trials.
"Great solution for patients who want to smooth their cellulite," said board-certified dermatologist Dr. Robert Weiss. "We have had great results for our patients using the system, and are very excited for the news that it has been FDA cleared for two years."
"A minimally invasive and quick method of reducing cellulite, with typically mild discomfort," explained Dr. Margaret Weiss of MDLSV. "Patients no longer need to undergo a full surgical procedure to smooth their cellulite dimples, which is a great benefit for many people today who can't spare the time or expense of plastic surgery."
A topical numbing cream is applied to the areas to be anesthetized and treated, ensuring that the patient is comfortable during the actual procedure. A typical treatment lasts less than an hour, depending on how many cellulite dimples are being treated. Side effects can include bruising or swelling, which typically disappear on their own within a few days, depending on the individual.
"Cellulite is a big problem for many women," said Dr. Karen Beasley of MDLSV. "Past non-invasive treatments may have been helpful, but none had the long-lasting effects. This system is truly the next level in cellulite treatment."


More Republicans Than Democrats Support Senate Supreme Court Hearing for an Obama Nominee
A brand new CNN/ORC poll released Thursday shows the vast majority of all Americans want President Obama to nominate a Supreme Court replacement and even more want the Senate to hold confirmation hearings.
Almost six out of ten Americans (58%) say "Barack Obama should nominate someone to fill the vacancy,":
Â Nearly two-thirds of Americans (66%) say "the Republican leadership in the Senate should ... hold hearings on the nominee.":
Americans, given the nature of politics today, are split on they ideological background they would like to see in a Supreme Court nominee.
37 percent want to "keep the Court as it was," 32 percent want a Court "more liberal than it currently is," and 29 percent want a Court "more conservative than it currently is."
The White House Press Secretary was only too happy to tweet the poll today:


Volkswagen Rabbit, & Jetta Diesel Service Manual (1977-1984)
Volkswagen Rabbit, Jetta Diesel Service Manual: 1977-1984
This Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel and Volkswagen Jetta Diesel Service Manual includes troubleshooting, service and repair procedures for the diesel engine and its direct-cylinder fuel injection system. This Volkswagen repair manual is just as thorough as our other two Volkswagen Rabbit/Jetta/Scirocco/Pickup Truck service manuals, but focuses exclusively on diesel models. We eliminated information covering the gasoline engine, fuel-injection, and other subjects that don't apply to diesel engine models. Removing this potentially confusing material allows us to cover particular features of the diesel models in greater depth. You'll find testing, troubleshooting and repair steps from diesel fuel injection adjustment to the oil cooler used on models with automatic transmission and/or Turbo-Diesel engines.

MOSCOW — Just as Russia prepared to vote in its most recent presidential election, its capital city hosted Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, during which more than 50 local and international brands presented their collections in the Manege exhibition hall, just steps from the Kremlin and Red Square.
While the quality of the collections overall was mixed, audiences were enthusiastic, and buyers and designers alike say that, despite challenges, it’s a great time for Russian fashion.

As the conversation around sustainability only grows stronger in fashion circles, Everlane has made a new declaration: it’s saying goodbye to virgin plastic. The company, whose ethos is all about “radical transparency,” in terms of pricing and ethical factories, plans to be completely free of virgin plastics by 2021. “We’re producing millions of units and every unit that goes out is wrapped in plastic,” said founder and CEO, Michael Preysman. “At the beginning, it was like, ‘Hey, let’s just take off all these plastic bags.’ There are a lot of complications to that. Everything you buy in the world comes wrapped in plastic when it comes out of the factory.”

The pinnacle of Windsor chair making, the Chairmakers chair is a demonstration of our chair making skills.
Four spindles separated by a double bow, and a curved arched back contribute to a supportive sit. The two upward turned armrests supported by three spindles and the solid sculptured seat on this chairmakers chair provide additional comfort.
A feature of this dining chair is the classic Windsor wedge joint, where the leg of the chair goes right through the seat; a wedge is then inserted into a cut in the leg, forming a remarkably strong joint. Sanded off flush with the seat, the joint then provides a beautiful design element.
The chair is available in your choice from our lacquer finishes which both protect the timber and allow the beauty of the natural grain to show through. Alternatively you can chose from our range of paint finishes to give your room a pop of colour.

|Multiscale assessment of binary and continuous landcover variables for MODIS validation, mapping, and modeling applications
|Year of Publication
|Milne, BT, Cohen, WB
|Remote Sensing of the Environment
Validation, mapping, and modeling efforts require accurate methods to transform process rates and ecosystem attributes estimated from small field plots to the 250–1000-m-wide cells used by a new generation of land cover mapping sensors. We provide alternative scale transformations, each with attendant assumptions and limitations. The choice of method depends on spatial characteristics of the land cover variables in question and consequently may vary between biomes or with the intended application. We extend the fractal similarity dimension renormalization method, previously developed for binary maps, to continuous variables. The method can preserve both the mean and the multifractal properties of the image, thereby satisfying a major goal, namely, to provide accurate areal estimates without sacrificing information about within-site variation. The scale transformation enables the multifractal scaling exponents of landscapes or individual spectral bands to be brought in and out of register with each other, thereby opening another dimension upon which to detect the scales at which various land use or terrain processes operate. Alternatively, landscapes can be selectively rescaled to highlight patterns due to particular processes. We recommend geostatistical procedures with which to assess spatial characteristics both within a site and within individual image cells. We recommend that aggregation of fine-grain measurements during validation of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) products be based on continuous variables to reduce errors that originate from uncertainties in binary maps.


Just like last year I’ve been following the Mobile World Congress (MWC for short) in Barcelona from home, and this Sunday I tuned in to the press conference by HMD Global, the company that nowadays exclusively licenses the Nokia name and releases cool Android phones that can live up to that old legendary Nokia brand. And they had quite the show to offer!
The Mobile World Congress
From 2011 to 2016 I’ve been at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on a yearly basis, covering the latest in mobile phones and computers for the media channels I used to blog for: the first year for Mobilyz (now Pocketinfo again) and the following editions I wrote for MyWindows.nl. I can tell you it’s a cool experience to be among approximately 70.000 business people and journalists alike, visiting the worlds biggest trade show for the mobile technology. Of course also enjoying the Spanish food and the great weather while in my country winter still reigns… 😛
Nokia has risen from its ashes
After the demise of the old Nokia (after the failed Microsoft takeover and following write-off), the Nokia brand name returned to what was left of the Nokia corporation and a deal was struck with the large Chinese ODM HMD Global to start making Nokia branded phones again. Last year they were free to use that Nokia name again to sell phones, and on the MWC 2017 they introduced their first set of Nokia smartphones, now running Android instead of Windows Phone (which has now officially been declared dead) to celebrate the return to market of that iconic name. Among these new phones was also a reissue of the iconic 3310 feature phone, which has been upgraded to a 3G version by now and has attracted quite a few customers.
The portfolio of Android phones has been steadily expanded throughout 2017 to now include the models Nokia 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Not all of them available in all markets (like the 4 and 7) by the way. Considering the fact that you might consider them to be a startup, they have been doing extremely well so far, outselling OnePlus, Google and HTC volumes combined.
Nokia is going all in for 2018
After the startup year 2017 they have established themselves again as a global player with representations in almost 200 countries by now, and they are gonna release the new portfolio almost globally (except for the US so it seems). Coming back to the press conference, they introduced 4 new Android phones this MWC and another reissue of popular ‘dumb’phone:
- The high-end flagship Nokia 8 Sirocco
- The affordable flagship Nokia 7 Plus
- The redesigned and perfected mid-ranger Nokia 6 2018-edition
- The sub-$100 Nokia 1 Android Go entry device
- And the reissued Nokia 8110 feature phone (aka ‘Banana phone’ or ‘Matrix phone’)
The Nokia 8 Sirocco ups Nokia’s flagship game quite significantly with e quite revolutionary design of glass and stainless steel, making it an almost full-glass (95%) slab with high end specs inside (everything but the kitchen sink) and some very small bezels. It’s a beautiful phone and also a unique phone; it still features a 16:9 aspect ratio which is becoming rare these days making the phone look quite wide. To keep it pockable the display is sized at 5.5 inches.
Anyway, I could sum up all the specs and goodness of these new phones right here now, but of course you can read up all about these in full detail on the official Nokia website accompanied by some nice videos as well. For this blogpost I want to concentrate on what I think is gonna be Nokia’s biggest hit this year: the Nokia 7 Plus…
Nokia 7 Plus
In my humble opinion I think this phone offers everything the customer wants these days: a top-tier camera, a large high quality 18:9 screen with little bezel, biometrics, a fast processor and ample memory, great battery life, a great design and build quality and all of that for a more than reasonable price. The Nokia 7 Plus is expected to retail for € 399,00 when it ships in april, while at the same time it can compete with the look and feel of the likes of the OnePlus 5T (€ 499,00) and the Google Pixel 2 XL (a staggering € 799,00). Yes, the latter ones sport the heftier (and without a doubt costlier) Snapdragon 835 chipset, but I don’t think you’ll notice the difference in daily use.
If this baby’s price drops even lower after the first three months, this has to become one of the best selling Android phones of 2018… 😛
Why a Nokia?
Besides the new phones, Nokia also had to announce that going forward, every Nokia Android phone will be an ‘Android One’ phone, which means it will run a vanilla version of Android, endorsed by Google. This means:
- No bloatware, so best performance and a uniform experience
- Timely updates for a guaranteed two years for platform updates (most Nokia’s already run Oreo 8.1 right now!)
- A guaranteed three years of security updates
Apart from this promise to have the best possible Android experience and very early updates, Nokia is also bringing back the Pro Camera experience from the (now dead) Lumia smartphones, that used to be the benchmark devices when it comes to smartphone photography. So that’s a great clean OS, but also one of the best camera apps.
The build quality of the Nokia handsets also seems to be impeccable, like we were used to, and if their service component is gonna be anything like that of the former Nokia, we’ve got ourselves a smartphone company holding some really strong cards!
I almost regret getting a brand new OnePlus phone just weeks ago… I would love to give this 7 Plus a spin… 🙂

Classical Model Validation for Control Design Purposes
1997 (English)In: Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, ISSN 1387-3954, Vol. 3, no 1, 27-42 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Model Validation is at the heart of the System Identification process. Recently, much renewed interest has been expressed in so called "identification for control". This means that the design variables associated with the identification process are tailored to achieve models that are well suited for control design purposes. A separate, but closely related issue is to devise validation tests that give information about the model's quality and suitability for control design. This paper shows and discusses how a basic and classical residual test gives such information.

Helping pollinating insects in your garden… as seen on TV
On April 14th, 2018, our Project Officer was invited to explain what can be done in your garden to help pollinators, on TV3’s Weekend AM.
For lists of pollinator-friendly garden plants, please see our Resources page.
‘Save the dandelions’ on Today FM
Today FM’s Dermot & Dave Show talk about helping pollinators in your garden:
Veritas interviewed Dr Una FitzPatrick for the Catholic Primary Schools’ ‘Grow in Love’ programme:


In addition to hearing a pandemic update, the Randolph County commissioners approved of a property purchase and a lease addendum at their May 1 meeting.
Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker discussed both the property purchase and lease addendum with the commissioners.
He noted that the property in question is next to the county health department property in Chester. Previously, there had been some dispute on the property line, with both the health department building and a dilapidated structure sitting near the line. A survey was completed to establish the line and create a 10 foot strip as a setback.
Walker added that this purchase has been in the process for some time in an effort to clean up the property.
The county will be purchasing this strip of land at a cost of $17,000 and the landowner has nine months to take down the old building or pay damages to the county.
For more from the Board of Commissioners meeting, please see this week’s print edition.

With almost everybody armed with a smartphone, nowadays nothing goes undocumented. Everyone is a content creator capturing significant and sometimes shocking moments as they happen and posting them online for all to see. Whether it be unfolding events or freak weather phenomena, we’re no longer solely reliant on news outlets for breaking stories. However, more often than not, this user-generated content (UGC) isn’t being used to its full potential and instead is predominately circulated on social media sites such as Twitter. Therefore, with ever-expanding amounts of UGC being created, broadcasters could find significant benefits to its use but must find ways to unlock its true value.
The role of UGC in broadcasting
The advent of the smartphone has given rise to ‘citizen journalism’, whereby members of the public capture images and video from unfolding events. The use of this content in news bulletins and websites can provide real value to media outlets, helping to create a narrative and providing footage from the scene of incidents where camera crews weren’t present. For broadcasters, UGC offers speed of access, enabling them to report in real-time, as it can be uploaded in a matter of minutes from the scene of the event, ready to be used in news bulletins, for instance.
Further to this, the rise of ‘fake news’ is causing public concern about misinformation, as 70% of people in the UK are revealed to be concerned about what news is real and fake on the Internet. With UGC found to be 50% more trusted than other media, this content can therefore act as social proof that an event took place, for instance, adding reliability to a story. What’s more, it is suggested that newsrooms that successfully engage UGC will build community trust, which in turn encourages audience members to share even more.
Broadcasters could also integrate UGC into their marketing materials to make more impactful campaigns which resonate with customers, as research finds that 85% of consumers find UGC to be more influential than branded content. UGC also offers broadcasters added creativity, enabling them to show viewers the world from a myriad of perspectives and develop more compelling stories. Genuine human emotion can be difficult to recreate, therefore, the use of UGC can help broadcasters convey this with more authenticity.
Extracting value from UGC
Since the advent of social sharing sites, it has never been more important in TV production to have quick access to content to ensure producers are at the forefront of topical events. Often working to tight deadlines creates the need to find and insert the right clip into their programme or advert as fast as possible. While UGC presents broadcasters with the opportunity to enhance their storytelling, the challenge lies in accessing and utilising this content.
One of the most effective ways broadcasters and media outlets can tap into the growing volumes of UGC is by creating their own portals through which the public can upload content. This can be achieved through the use of cloud-based platforms, which can act as an extension of the brand and be scaled in line with increasing awareness among consumers of how they can put their videos or images to best use. This approach allows broadcasters to quickly access the UGC they require to respond to breaking news stories and events. This enables them to move away from the current method in which journalists trawl social media sites for video clips and seek permission to use the content from the original poster, which can be both time-consuming and ineffective.
Organisations could also look to incentivise the sharing of UGC to ensure that individuals feel inspired to upload their content via the portal. One method is to enable individuals to monetise the assets they upload so they are rewarded for sharing their footage, which is an approach being used successfully by companies such as ViralVideoUK. In this scenario, the public could upload their footage to the portal and receive a flat fee from the broadcaster if their assets are utilised.
By 2022, Internet video traffic is expected to make up 82% of all global consumer Internet traffic – an increase from 69% in 2017 – indicating that the quantity of video content being created and uploaded to the Internet is only going to increase. As consumers continue to capture important moments that could otherwise go undocumented, it is becoming increasingly vital for broadcasters to be able to access, utilise and share this content. Therefore, it’s time these organisations took matters into their own hands by creating an online portal and incentivising the sharing of valuable UGC. In an increasingly competitive landscape, this could prove to be a key differentiator for broadcasters, enabling them to create more authentic and compelling stories and making their community feel part of that process.

Context Although concerns continue to be raised about the diversity of the US
physician workforce, there has never been a nationwide survey of both the
sex and underrepresented minority (URM) composition of medical school admission
Objective To document US medical school admission committee membership in several
demographic domains, including sex and URM (African American, Mexican American,
mainland Puerto Rican, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan)
Design Mailed survey.
Setting and Participants Deans or directors of admission at 85 US medical schools that were members
of the Association of American Medical Colleges (response rate, 70%).
Main Outcome Measures Prevalence of 1999-2000 school-year committee members in demographic
categories, such as sex, URM status, physician or medical student status;
Results The overall ratio of men to women on admission committees was 1.77 to
1. On average, 16% of committee members were from URM groups. Physicians with
URM status comprised 8% of committee membership; 51% of committees had 1 or
0 URM physicians. Seventy-four percent of committees had at least 1 medical
student; medical students comprised 15% of total membership. Ninety-one percent
of committees operated on a volunteer basis.
Conclusion Although representation of women and persons with URM status on medical
school admission committees has improved since 1972, URM membership, in particular,

- T Power H20 motorcycle is a brainchild of Brazilian, Sao Paulo based civil officer Ricardo Azevedo
- This water powered bike can go 500 kms. / 310 miles on a litre of water whether clean or polluted.
Soaring fuel prices and environment concerns had urged people to invent vehicles which can run on water since decades, but no such real invention had been made so far.
Recently, T Power H20 motorbike was developed in Sao Paulo, Brazil by a man named Ricardo Azevedo. His motorcycle can travel up to 500kms./310 miles on just a liter of water, and it does not require any specific type of water.
The design features a combination of water and a single external car battery, which is used to produce electricity and separate hydrogen from the water molecule.
“The advantage of this motorcycle, which works with the hydrogen that comes from the water, is that the result that comes out of the exhaust is water vapour. This is different from gasoline, which the result is carbon monoxide,” said Azevedo.
Have a view how the Ricardo’s motorcycle work:
Ricardo Azevedo has even demonstrated the brilliance of his invention after first drinking clean water from a bottle to prove that it is H2o and not any fuel and later how the motorcycle works using polluted water from a nearby river also.
The process, involving a pipe system, results in combustion and it is this that creates the energy necessary to power the bike.
Speaking about the motorcycle, Mr Azevedo also suggested that his creation has environmental benefits too.
He said: ‘The advantage of this motorcycle, which works with the hydrogen that comes from the water, is that the result that comes out of the exhaust is water vapour. This is different from gasoline, which the result is carbon monoxide.’
Azevedo is ready for the testing of his invention which could bring a revolution in the transportation industry. He has to be a bit careful from his rivals as inventors like him have been discredited and even killed in the past.
The best way to keep Azevedo and his invention safe is to spread the word about him and his invention and let the real credit go flowing to him.


Senior Traffic Commissioner (STC) Richard Turfitt has launched a review of the statutory guidance on driver conduct.
It proposes several changes. One is that a TC may still hold a conduct hearing if the driver does not attend without prior notice.
Currently, drivers may be given two opportunities to attend even if they fail to notify the TC of their intention not to come to the first scheduled hearing. The change will allow refusal or revocation of a licence at the first hearing should the driver fail to make contact beforehand.
It is usual for a TC to grant an adjournment for the first scheduled hearing if there is enough justification, although even when such a request is made, the case may still be considered if the driver is viewed as presenting a significant risk to road safety.
Additionally, the consultation proposes that abusive behaviour or intimidation of officials will lead to a TC considering fitness to hold vocational entitlement, making the guidance consistent with another statutory document.
