This invention relates to a portable clothes dryer comprising an upright garment bag having a hot air duct connectable to a warm air register (outlet) of a room heating system, whereby heated air flows around clothing within the bag to remove moisture from the clothing fabric.
The invention is viewed as an improvement on devices shown in Williams, U.S. Pat. No. 1,590,143, Weber U.S. Pat. No. 2,975,529, Sullivan, U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,928, and Jordan, U.S. Pat. No. 4,572,364.
The invention contemplates an upright bag having means therein for hanging a number of garments (e.g. six or more garments) within the bag interior space; a duct delivers pressurized warm air from a room register into the bag to warm the interior space. The walls of the bag may be formed of an essentially non-porous material, such as vinyl, and have means for the limited outflow of air from the bag such as zipper structures, seams, etc. The walls of the bag may preferably be formed of a porous woven fabric that provides thousands of minute air passages through the bag walls. Heated air contained vaporized moisture passes from the bag outwardly through the minute passages.
The fabric air passages via zipper seams, etc. or via a porous woven fabric are sufficiently small as to restrict flow to exert a back pressure on the pressurized air, whereby the bag walls are caused to balloon outwardly. Heated air is in a pressurized semi-trapped state within the bag, such that the air uniformly contacts all surfaces of the clothing, including interior clothing surfaces that would otherwise not be contacted by a fast-moving air stream following only a low resistance path along outer surfaces of the clothing.
An important object of my invention is to provide a portable clothes dryer which effectively uses low pressure heated air from a warm air register. A related object is to provide a dryer wherein the heated air is caused to contact substantially all major surface areas of the clothing being dried.

Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 4, there is shown an upright fabric bag 10 suspended from a rigid stand 12 (FIG. 2). A flexible fabric air duct 14 extends from bag 10 for connection to a hot air register 16. In use of the apparatus, hot air flows from register 16 through duct 14 into the upper interior space within bag 10. An opening 15 is formed in the bag wall to pass the air from duct 14 into the bag. Heated air flows outwardly from the bag through minute passages formed through fabric walls (by the porosity of the fabric materials), or through outflow means, such as zippers and seams, in bags of non-porous material.
FIG. 1 illustrates three alternate locations for register 16, namely on the room floor, high on a room wall, or in the ceilling. Flexible duct 14 is somewhat longer than the vertical dimension of bag 10, to permit the duct to reach any of the three register locations.
Bag 10 is an all-fabric structure, without rigidifying components that would interfere with fold-up into a storageable package form. The bag comprises a flat top wall 18, four side walls 20 depending from edge areas of wall 18, and a flat bottom wall 22. Zipper structures 24 and 26 are provided for insertion (or removal) of clothing to (or from) the bag interior. During clothes-drying periods the zippers are closed.
Rigid stand 12 comprises a number of rigid plastic pipes (tubes) detachably connected together by means of four similar couplers 27. The stand includes two uprights (pipes) 29 connected at their upper ends to two spaced horizontal bars 31. Upper end areas of uprights 29 extend through small slit-type clearance openings 33 in the bag side wall before making connections with the bars 31. Bars 31 extend within bag 10 along external edge areas of the bag top wall 18. The ends of bars 31 fit into corner areas of the bag to maintain the bag shape.
In preferred practice of the invention, a rectangular moisture-absorbent pad 34 is removably disposed within the lower end of bag 10. The pad is a semi-rigid component having a planar configuration and size-mated to the bag horizontal cross section, such that it is enabled to intercept (capture) any water droplets that might drain from clothing hanging within the bag, i.e. from clothes rod 35.
The intake end of duct 14 is attached to a "picture frame" plate or flange 37 that can engage the outer surface of hot air register 16. Flange 37 can be sealably connected to the register surface by any suitable mechanism, e.g. contact adhesive on the flange surface, permanent magnets carried on the flange, or miniature interlocking hook fabrics (trademarked Velcro) on the confronting surfaces. Numeral 39 generically references the connection mechanism.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show an optional air filtration pad structure 41 positionable in duct 14 to remote airborne particulates from the hot (warm) air stream being supplied to bag 10. End areas of the pad may be turned into end ones of the louvered openings in the register (for pad mounting purposes).
FIG. 5 illustrates a second form of the invention designed specifically for temporary attachment to a warm air register located at an elevated point on room wall 43 (FIG. 7). the illustrated clothes dryer includes a bag 10 that is substantially identical to bag 10 of FIG. 1. The hot air supply duct is, however, constructed somewhat differently than duct 14 shown in FIG. 1.
In the arrangment of FIGS. 5 through 8 the hot air supply duct comprises a rigid tubular frame 44 (metal or rigid plastic) of rectangular cross section. This frame includes a transverse mounting plate 45 at its upstream end designed to facially engage the external face of register 16 (in a manner similar to flange 37 in the previously-mentioned embodiment).
Connection mechanisms similar to mechanism 39 (FIG. 4) may be carried on the upstream face of plate 45. Additionally, two manually-moveable clamp members 46 may be connected to frame 44. Each clamp member consists of an elongated rod having a knob 51 at one of its ends; the other end of each rod is turned (bent) as at 52. Each knob 51 can be manually grasped to push or pull to associated rod in the arrow 54 direction (FIG. 7).
A push force knob 51 causes the rod to advance toward the vertical centerline of the register; bent end 52 of the rod moves into a louver space to engage the upstream (concealed) face of a louver. The rod is wedged into the louver opening. The two rods cooperatively act to prevent frame 44 from pulling away from the warm air register. A manual pulling force on both knobs 52 can be used to disconnect frame 44 from the register.
The embodiment of FIGS. 5 through 8 includes a rectangular air filter element 55. This rectangular element fits into frame 44 below a transverse channel 56 that is welded to the roof area of the frame. A flat vertical strip 57 is welded to the upstream face channel 56 to provide a seating surface for the filter element. The filter element is manually pushed into frame 44 to abut against the face of strip 57. Edge areas of the filter panel frictionally engage inner surface areas of frame 44 to prevent dislodgement of the filter panel.
A clothes hanger rod 59 extends from frame 44 into bag 10. Rod 59 includes a horizontal rod section and an upwardly angling rod section 61. The terminal ends of the rod sections may be bent to lock into openings formed in channel 56 and the lower wall of frame 44. In the free state the rod section diverge to a greater extend than the spacing between channel 56 and the frame lower wall. To install the clothes hanger rod the rod sections are manually compressed toward each other before inserting the rod ends into the mount openings. The clothes hanger rod extends along the vertical centerline of frame 44 and bag 10. The rod ends obstruct filter panel 55 against dislodgement away from strip 57.
Bag 10 is suspended from frame 44 via two horizontal bars 63 that extend from frame 44 in cantilever fashion. Bars 63 can be hingedly connected to channel 56 for fold-up purposes. Alternately the bars can be detachably connected to the channel by insertion into sockets (tubes) that extend through web areas of the channel. Bars 63 extend within bag 10 along internal edge areas of the bag top wall 18.
Bag 10 is connected to frame 44 by means of a short frabric duct section 64. This short duct section extends right angularly from one side wall 20 of bag 10 so as to fit over (around) frame 44. Mating snap fasteners elements 65 and 66 are carried on frame 44 and fabric duct section 64 to secure the duct section against pull-off from the frame.
In service, the embodiment of FIGS. 5 through 8 functions similarly to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4. Heated air flows from register 16, through frame 45, and into the upper interior space within bag 10. Moisture-laden air exits from the bag primarilly through the minute air passages in the porous fabric bag walls 20, or the air exits via the limited outflow means such as zippers amd seams, in bags o non-porous material. The bag may be equipped with a moisture-absorbent pad 22 (FIG. 1) to capture draining water droplets.
Bag 10 preferably has side walls 10 formed of a porous woven fabric; the fabric threads are slightly spaced from one another by a few-thousandths of an inch to define minute passages for outflow of air from the bag. The bag side walls can be formed of cotton, rayon, nylon, or other thread materials commonly used to make industrial dust collection bags or liquid strainer media.
In service the minute air passages offer sufficient air flow resistance that the bag assumes an inflated condition; the bag side walls balloon outwardly from their flat at-rest conditions.
Velocity pressure of the air flowing through register 16 is converted to static pressure, such that the bag is slightly pressurized with heated air. The heated air penetrates into the clothing within the bag so as to contact interior surfaces of the clothing, e.g. within sleeves, pants pockets, etc. A diffusion of moisture into and throughout the heated air mass takes place.
The described action is believed to differ from the action that occurs with known prior art arrangements that rely on a fast-moving stream of heated air to remove moisture. In such arrangements the air stream takes the the path of least resistance from the bag inlet to the bag outlet. Clothing surfaces not directly in the air stream tend not to be heated as thoroughly as surfaces in direct contact with the streams.
In my improved arrangment heated moisture-laden air exits from bag 10 via the minute air passages in the porous fabric side walls 20; some minor flow may take place through clearance openings 33 (FIG. 1). The heated air has a long residence time within the bag so that it has an increased moisture-absorption capability (compared to other known arrangements).
Thus there has been shown and described a novel clothes dryer which fulfills all the objects and advantages sought therefor. Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications of the subject invention will however, become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification together with the accompanying drawings and claims. All such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention which is limited only by the claims which follow.

Water is an essential component of our daily routines, sustaining life and promoting overall well-being. It is easy for homeowners to overlook the quality of the water flowing from their taps. Often assuming it is consistently safe for consumption. However, the truth is that our water supply can be susceptible to contaminants that not only impact its taste and odor but also pose potential risks to our health. In this discussion, we aim to shed light on the significance of water quality and introduce diverse filtration options. That can safeguard the health and safety of our families.
Homeowners commonly underestimate the potential threats lurking in their water supply. Contaminants such as bacteria, sediment, and chemicals can infiltrate our water sources, compromising its purity. This not only affects the overall quality of the water but can also introduce subtle health hazards. It’s crucial to recognize that ensuring the safety of our water is an active and necessary step in maintaining a healthy home environment.
Understanding the potential risks associated with untreated water, both in terms of health and the longevity of household appliances, emphasizes the need for effective water filtration systems. Filtering water can improve its taste, eliminate odors, and, most importantly, remove harmful contaminants. By investing in the right filtration method, homeowners can take proactive measures to enhance the quality of their water supply.
Exploring the world of water filtration opens up a spectrum of options, each designed to address specific concerns. From activated carbon filters that excel in removing impurities to reverse osmosis systems that effectively eliminate dissolved salts, homeowners have a range of choices to suit their unique needs. These filtration options not only contribute to a safer and healthier water supply but also play a vital role in maintaining the overall integrity of plumbing systems within the home.
In conclusion, the purity of our water is not a facet of homeownership to be taken lightly. Recognizing the potential risks and being proactive in exploring and implementing effective filtration options are crucial steps towards ensuring a safe and healthy living environment for our families. By understanding the significance of water quality and embracing suitable filtration technologies, homeowners can make informed decisions that contribute to the overall well-being of their households.
Before we delve into filtration options, it’s crucial to understand why water quality matters. Contaminated water can harbor harmful substances such as bacteria, heavy metals, sediments, and chemicals that pose health risks when consumed. Additionally, poor water quality can impact the performance and lifespan of household appliances like water heaters and dishwashers. To safeguard your family and property, investing in effective water filtration is a wise decision.
Activated carbon filters are known for their ability to remove impurities, including chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These filters use a process called adsorption, where contaminants adhere to the surface of the carbon. This results in improved taste and odor of the water.
Reverse osmosis is a highly effective water purification method that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove a wide range of contaminants. This process is particularly adept at eliminating dissolved salts, minerals, and heavy metals. While it provides excellent purification, it may also remove some essential minerals, so remineralization may be necessary.
Ultraviolet (UV) water purifiers use UV light to sterilize and disinfect water by inactivating bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. This method doesn’t add or remove chemicals from the water, making it a chemical-free option for those concerned about water taste and odor.
Water softeners are designed to remove minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause water hardness. They use ion exchange to replace these minerals with sodium or potassium, resulting in softer water that prevents scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
Ceramic filters are effective at removing sediments, bacteria, and protozoa from water. They are often used in conjunction with other filtration methods to provide a comprehensive solution. The porous ceramic material traps contaminants while allowing water to pass through.
Selecting the appropriate water filtration system for your home depends on factors such as the quality of your water source, the specific contaminants present, and your preferences. Conducting a water test can help identify the contaminants, guiding you towards the most suitable filtration solution.
Consider the flow rate and capacity of the filtration system to ensure it meets the demands of your household. Additionally, factor in maintenance requirements and costs associated with each type of filter. Understanding the unique features and limitations of each system will empower you to make an informed decision.

Just so you know, the USA isn’t the only country pushing against the edges of its natural resources. Here’s a fascinating article about Saudi Arabia, water, and food. Oil won’t be able to buy everything.
There is a madness about farming in the desert — especially when temperatures are above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, there isn’t a river for hundreds of miles, and the only water is more than a mile underground. The technological bravado is breathtaking, but Saudis are slowly realizing that it cannot go on. That their dream of turning oil wealth into food self-sufficiency is doomed, and they will have to get food from elsewhere. I heard this at a conference on the country’s changing attitude to water, held at the Jeddah Hilton in 2009. … Not far away a huge desalination plant was making the waters of the Red Sea drinkable for the city.
Saudi Arabians have grown colossally rich on the country’s oil reserves. They have grown used to the idea that petrodollars can buy them anything. But Saudis are waking up to the fact that all their wealth will count for nothing if they have nothing to eat.

CBM welcomes this week’s report by MPs urging the Government not to widen the definition of Official Development Assistance, but to maintain focus on using UK Aid to help the world’s poorest and most excluded people.
The Commons International Development Committee (IDC) has published a report on its inquiry on Official Development Assistance (ODA), the money provided by official agencies such as the Government for the economic development and welfare of developing countries. The UK Government had proposed redefining ODA to include money sent to high-income countries, and for a broader (currently undefined) range of reasons. In addition, the Government is seeking to enable a greater proportion of ODA to be spent by departments other than the Department for International Development (DfID).
CBM UK submitted a response to the inquiry objecting to the redefinition of ODA on grounds that it risks diminishing the focus on poverty reduction and helping people who are most left behind, such as people with disabilities. We also raised concerns that whilst other government departments have a broad range of technical expertise that can benefit aid and development interventions, diluting DfID’s leadership on ODA risks losing the gains made for disability-inclusive development in recent years.
The IDC shares CBM’s concerns and is unequivocal in its rejection of the Government’s proposals:
“We believe unilateral action by the UK to develop and use its own ODA definition would be an own goal…. The UK’s reputation as a leading development actor stems from it expertise and professionalism, its commitment to multilateralism and the international system and its commitment to, and delivery against, the 0.7% target. All three of these assets would be damaged by trying to manipulate the shared understanding of what aid is.”
The Committee warns against sidetracking ODA spend from providing aid to protecting the national interest, in particular through the Prosperity Fund and the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), and highlights particular concerns on spending in China on projects to develop the Chinese film industry, museum infrastructure and credit bond rating system.
The Committee also calls for DfID leadership and oversight of all ODA spend, to ensure coherence, transparency, high standards and the commitment to ending poverty.
There is little to suggest that the Government’s proposals intend to enhance UK aid and development assistance. Rather, it suggests the Government is casting around for pots of money, one of which (ring-fenced to boot), by a stretch of definition, offers glimmers of advancing the UK’s place on the international stage. In the words of the IDC: “ODA must be directed primarily at reducing poverty, helping the very poorest and most vulnerable rather than being used as a slush fund to pay for developing the UK’s diplomatic, trade or national security interests.”

SMILE Camp was an opportunity to foster leadership among students and a chance for students, teachers and police officers to earn from each other.
S.M.I.L.E. (Students and Staff Maximizing Inter-community Leadership Experiences) Camp was once again an amazing experience for everyone involved in the November 2015 session.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board, in partnership with the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Police Service collaborated on the leadership-training program for students, teachers and police officers. Together they begin the process of building a leadership community by creating a initiative and plan for a safe school, which is to be implemented upon their return to school. The aim of the camp is for the students to develop knowledge, skills and confidence to overcome any challenges or obstacles .
ProAction Cops & Kids funded this program that sees 165 students from 12 to 14 years old spend 3 to 4 days at Camp George in Parry Sound annually.
The students interact with officers in a personal setting and work together to develop leadership skills for positive change. Students learn several leadership skills through fun interactive games, which exemplify being the change as an effective leader.
Throughout the program it is emphasized that the most powerful object in the room is themselves and they are shown the best way to responsibly demonstrate their own power for change. Students are given scenarios to demonstrate the quality of a leader and then celebrate the success and talents of everyone.
The teachers, police officers and students built trust and support networks. Together they worked on breaking down stereotypes and develop a respect for one another. The overall goal of the camp is to develop leadership skills to effect positive change, but is an environment for youth to open up about the issues of bullying and racism. The youth return from the camp with a different frame of mind, knowing they can make a difference and that they are the change, to making the community a better place.

Hollywood actor turned independent journalist Russell Brand denied sexual assault allegations levied against him and stated that he is the target of a coordinated censorship campaign by the governments of the U.S. and the U.K., as well as big tech firms.
Last week, the Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches released a joint report in which four anonymous women accused Brand of rape and sexual assault, alleging that the criminal conduct took place between 2006 and 2013. Brand immediately denied the allegations, stating that past relationships were “always consensual.”
Despite the fact that Brand has not been charged with a crime, a number of platforms — including YouTube — have already banned his show. Pressure has also been placed on YouTube’s main competitor, Rumble, after a U.K. parliamentary inquiry called on the company to cut Brand’s income. Rumble has stated that Brand will remain on the platform, adding that the company will not be giving in to a “cancel culture” campaign.
In a video statement published Friday, the former leftist actor turned critic of the modern left thanked Rumble for its support and stated that he is the target of an organized censorship campaign. “By now you’re probably aware that the British government has asked big tech platforms to censor our online content, and that some online platforms have complied with that request,” Brand said. He then explained that this has happened in the context of the U.K.’s “Online Safety” legislation that grants “sweeping surveillance and censorship powers.”
The actor also informed viewers about the “Trusted News Initiative,” which he described as a “collaboration between big tech and legacy media to target, control, choke, and shut down independent media organizations like this one.”
“It’s clear that these organizations collaborate on constructing narratives,” Brand said. “Whether that’s on the war, or the pandemic, and of course there are other examples.”
He went on to thank Rumble, where he plans to stream his show primarily from now on, stating that they have made a “clear commitment to free speech.” Brand concluded by saying that his show will be back on Monday.

Does anyone know whether DEC's Open3D software (specifically OpenGL)
will work on a DEC 3000/300LX with the standard HX frame buffer?
I've read the Open3D SPD, and it doesn't mention a software-only
rendering engine... The SPD does list a bunch of graphics cards as
being supported, but it doesn't list the HX.
So, will DEC's OpenGL work on the HX...?
PS: I already know about Mesa. I'm trying to find out whether DEC's
official OpenGL implementation will work on the HX.
Imagine that CRAY decides to make a personal computer. It contains 16
Alpha based processors executing in parallel, has 800 megabytes of RAM,
9 Gigabytes of disk storage, a resolution of 4096 x 4096 pixels, does
24bit 3D graphics in realtime, relies entirely on voice recognition for

For EE Ichi Bar, owned by Keith Waid of Alabama, spending a few days at Carol Ward’s ranch in Weatherford, Texas, was a nice respite. Waid’s trainer, Jack Dozier, brought him, along with a couple other horses, for a four-day rest before the 2014 National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) World Finals.
“We hit it off from the first time we met,” Ward said, describing the friendship she had developed with Waid, his wife, Cheryl, and their granddaughter, Jaycee Lowery, while hauling for the World Finals. The twist is that Lowery, who recently turned 12, is Ward’s biggest competition in the show pen.
“I expected going down to the wire,” Ward said with a laugh, adding,, “but I thought it would be some sweet lady my age, not a 12 year old! The dynamics this year have been amazing.”
Before the year began, Lowery decided she wanted to show in more than youth cuttings and approached her grandfather with her goal.
“She was only 11 when she asked if I’d haul with her,” Waid recalled. “She’d hauled in the Youth, but showing in the $15,000 Non-Pro and $50,000 Amateur is a world of difference. We talked about how she’d have to be dedicated, how there would be a lot of early mornings and late nights. She’s done great with it.”
That proof is in the pudding. Lowery will enter the World Finals sitting second in the $50,000 Amateur, second in the Youth and first in the $15,000 Novice Non-Pro with EE Ich Bar (Cat Ichi x Freckles Beauty Bar x Freckles Playboy). That’s the class in which she and Ward, the same lady who welcomed her horse for a four-day break, are major competitors.
Lowery took the lead from Ward earlier in the year when Ward, a member of the NCHA and Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association Non-Pro Hall of Fames, came off the campaign trail to host the annual El Rancho Futurity. Switching places however, never dampened the camaraderie of either camp. Jason Taylor, Ward’s trainer, turns back for Lowery, and Dozier turns back for Ward. Recently, they even juggled people and horses so everyone could make both the Kansas City Mercuria/NCHA World Series of Cutting nighttime finals and still compete the next morning in Geneva, Alabama, approximately 20 hours away.
Constance Jaeggi, who clinched the Non-Pro World Championship after the second round at the World Finals, hauls with trainer Chubby Turner. Turner had made the Mercuria finals, as had Ward. Jaeggi, though, needed to show in Geneva; so did Lowery and Ward.
That’s when Nancy Clayton, a friend to all, developed a plan and called Waid. He loaded up the horses that needed to go to Geneva – Ward’s Nurse Connie (Smart Mate x Ima Nurse x High Brow Hickory), Jaeggi’s Saguaro Ichi (Cat Ichi x Playboys Heidi x Freckles Playboy) and Lowery’s EE Ichi Bar – as well as Lowery and Jaeggi, and by 3:00 p.m., they were on the road.
“I was pretty honored they put their trust in us,” said Waid, who drove through the night to arrive at the cutting by 7:30 the next morning. “There’s a bed in the Peterbilt, so the girls slept on the way. As soon as we got there, Constance got her horse out, road off to show and marked a 76!”
Ward, in the meantime, caught a ride to Geneva with competitor Lee Garner in his private plane. “I was there in time to meet the horse when they came in. It really made it fun.”
And that, according to Ward, is what it should be about – fun. “When it comes down to it, hauling shouldn’t be about who beat who, but about trying your hardest, doing your best and making lifelong friends.”
As the World Finals go-rounds start in Fort Worth, Lowery leads the $15,00 Novice Non-Pro by $1,707.62. That’s a slim margin, and you can bet Ward will be doing her best to beat her.
The first two go’s of the Open and Non-Pro World Finals took place on Nov. 29-30; the third and fourth rounds take place Thursday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 6. The $15,000 Novice, $35,000 Non-Pro, $5,000 Novice Non-Pro and $2,000 Limit Rider go-rounds take place Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 3-4. The $5,000 Novice, $50,000 Amateur, $15,000 Novice Non-Pro and $15,000 Amateur go-rounds are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5-6.

This is a riff on a Mexican chorizo hash recipe I've been tinkering with for years. It's highly flexible. I always include chorizo and potatoes but the other element can change. I've done it with parsnips, avocado and even rutabaga! This time, apples get their chance. —Sippity Sup (Greg Henry)
Test Kitchen Notes
This is a stunning recipe. The apples melt in your mouth, and their mellow, almost caramel-like sweetness is a perfect match for the spicy chorizo. This is a recipe I will make time and again. The optional additions should be required: The poached egg is perfect, and the radishes add a clean note that cuts through the richness of the dish. —mitschlag
tablespoon olive oil (divided, plus more as needed)
Salt and pepper, to taste
raw Mexican pork chorizo
red bell pepper (halved, seeds and ribs removed, and cut into 1/2-inch dice)
onion (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice)
medium jalapeño (halved, seeds and ribs removed, and cut into tiny dice, optional)
clove garlic (peeled and minced)
4 to 8
soft-poached eggs (optional)
Halved radishes (optional)
Preheat the oven to 425° F.
Cut the apple and potato into 1⁄2-inch dice. Place them into a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to combine. Spread apples and potatoes onto a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet, keeping them in as close to a single layer as possible. Roast in the heated oven 30 to 40 minutes until tender and beginning to brown on the edges. Toss them once or twice during roasting to ensure even cooking.
Meanwhile, put a large, heavy bottom cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add chorizo to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring and breaking up chorizo, until lightly browned and beginning to look dry and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave the fat in the skillet, adding extra olive oil to bring the volume of fat to about 2 tablespoons if necessary.
Add the diced bell pepper, diced onion, and diced jalapeño (if using) to the skillet in which the chorizo was cooked. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Turn off the heat. Gently fold in roasted apples, potatoes, and cooked chorizo. Turn the heat to low and cook, folding gently, until the flavors come together, about 2 minutes.
Serve warm with poached eggs on top (if using) and halved radishes on the side (if using).

This will warm the air that you breathe before you breathe it into your lungs. Breathing cold air can set off an asthma attack, particularly in younger children that have moderate or severe asthma.
Asthma is a disease that can develop slowly over time, and sometimes the symptoms aren’t very obvious. There are actually many people that have passed away from an asthma attack without ever knowing they had asthma. So, if you have a lingering cough or instances of troubled breathing, see a doctor to figure out whether you suffer from asthma and to determine whether you will be needing medication to prevent or treat the condition.

250 veterans receive vaccine at Havre clinic, Montana adds 408 new COVID-19 cases Thursday
Veterans living in rural settings will receive their first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday at the new Merril Lundman VA Clinic in Havre.
The Montana VA Health Care System was recently selected to lead a national pilot program to bring vaccinations to rural veterans. Early this morning, a vaccination team flew the first 250 doses of the vaccine to Havre in special plug-in coolers.
"We are grateful MTVAHCS was selected to lead this pilot program to bring vaccines to rural veterans," said MTVAHCS Executive Director Judy Hayman in a statement. "It has been uplifting to see veterans' relief and joy in being able to get the vaccine."
Hayman continued and said that veterans have shared that they are getting the vaccine "so they can protect themselves, their loved ones, health care professionals and return to a life where masking is not required and people can safely come together."
The Moderna vaccine is 94% effective at preventing COVID-19 disease after the second dose according to clinical trials. The vaccine is administered in two doses given 28 days apart. It is recommended that individuals continue to wear face masks, practice distancing and maintain proper hand hygiene even after receiving the vaccine.
"I'm proud to have worked with folks on the ground to secure this new and convenient site that will continue to administer highly-anticipated vaccines and provide essential health care to our state's rural veterans," said Sen. Jon Tester in a statement.
"This first round of vaccines will help save lives by effectively slowing the spread in our communities--a key step in ending the ongoing pandemic and getting Montana's economy back on track," he continued.
The MTVAHCS has held several vaccination clinics for enrolled veterans across the state at the Miles City Community Living Center, as well as locations in Helena, Missoula and Billings. To date, over 600 veterans and 850 MTVAHCS staff have received their first dose of the vaccine.
"It's great to see the Montana VA working to protect its most vulnerable patients and provide care to veterans across the state, including rural communities like Havre," said Sen. Steve Daines in a statement. "As some of Montana's most vulnerable continue to receive COVID-19 vaccines, I'll keep working to ensure every Montanan who wants a vaccine receives one."
Veterans are encouraged not to call MTVAHCS or their local clinics regarding vaccination appointments. Based on risk and vaccine allocations, the MTVAHCS staff will continue to contact individual veterans to schedule appointments.
The state posted 408 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, bringing Montana’s total to 90,649 confirmed reports.

One of many esports trade’s most distinguished leaders is below investigation for office misconduct. Present and former workers and esports execs have accused Staff SoloMid’s founder and CEO, Andy Dinh, of verbally abusing and bullying them, sources inform WIRED. Riot Video games, which operates the League of Legends Championship Sequence by which TSM competes, launched an investigation late final yr into Dinh’s habits. TSM additionally confirmed that it launched its personal investigation across the identical time.
“We’re conscious of the allegations made concerning the CEO/proprietor of TSM,” Riot Video games informed WIRED over electronic mail. “Because the league operator, we’ve engaged the regulation agency of O’Melveny & Myers LLP to conduct an impartial investigation into claims of misconduct made in opposition to the chief of this group, in accordance with commonplace league course of.” Each Riot and Dinh declined to touch upon particular allegations, citing the continuing investigative course of.
Dinh, 29, has led the esports group since 2009 and is understood within the esports group by his gaming deal with “Reginald.” In 2020, Forbes named TSM probably the most priceless esports firm, with an estimated $410 million valuation. Final yr, the group modified its official title to TSM FTX after chopping a $210 million naming rights deal with a Hong Kong cryptocurrency alternate. TSM operates esports groups and has contracts with gamers and streamers spanning Fortnite, Valorant, Apex Legends, Tremendous Smash Bros., and different high video games, amounting to tens of millions of followers throughout social media. Most of all, TSM has develop into synonymous with aggressive League of Legends, the most important esports title of all time, attracting a fervent worldwide fandom.
The corporate, based mostly in Southern California, has 51 full-time workers. A number of of these workers informed WIRED that they had been drawn to TSM due to its excessive standing within the esports world and their private fandom. Many turned disenchanted by Dinh’s alleged “psychological abuse,” in a single present worker’s phrases. All requested anonymity for worry of profession repercussions within the insular and tight-knit world of esports. “The esports trade is de facto younger and poisonous,” says one. “Your relationships lead to jobs greater than anything.” Two sources say Dinh’s shut connections to different esports group house owners and professionals has deterred present and former workers or gamers from pursuing accountability.
“He’s like a bully who will get away with being a nasty individual as a result of he’s highly effective, as a result of individuals are afraid to face as much as him,” high League of Legends participant and former TSM teammate Yiliang “Peter” Peng, referred to as Doublelift, stated publicly on a livestream final November. “I’m sick of somebody who’s principally only a bully getting away with it as a result of it’s in everybody’s finest curiosity to not get in his means.”
4 people who’ve labored with TSM inform WIRED that the esports group is dominated by a tradition of worry. Way back to 2013, they are saying, Dinh was recognized to verbally abuse and yell at gamers and workers. He has known as workers “silly” or “nugatory,” two sources say. Two sources recalled Dinh calling workers after hours to scream at them. Three present or former TSM workers say that, typically, Dinh would ridicule workers for hours. His tirades had been typically prompted by minor errors. Different occasions, he yelled at workers in entrance of assembled colleagues as a part of an “exhibition,” says one present worker, that Dinh appeared to take satisfaction in. One former worker recalled listening to Dinh say he wished to “make an instance” out of an individual he berated publicly.

Brandon Marshall reunited with Jay Cutler in Chicago
In his two years with the Dolphins, Marshall caught 167 passes totaling 2,228 yards, but only nine of those catches were touchdowns. In Chicago, he’ll be reunited with his former Broncos teammate, Jay Cutler. In his three years playing with Cutler in Denver, Marshall enjoyed two seasons of 100+ receptions. In Chicago, the two will look to pick up right where they left off before Cutler was traded to the Bears prior to the 2009 season (thank you, Josh McDaniels!). It’s a great deal for the Bears, who have been struggling to solidify their number one receiver position for years.
For Miami, it’s a definite sign that Joe Philbin and the Dolphins are making a strong push for Peyton Manning. Manning met with Philbin and members of the Dolphins’ staff on Monday, and Tuesday’s trade has fueled speculation that the Dolphins are clearing cap space to sign Manning and his favorite receiver, former Colt, Reggie Wayne.
Whether or not Manning signs with the Dolphins remains to be seen, but all this talk and speculation has made one thing clear: there is no offseason in the NFL…and why would you want one?

Well, the wretchedly busy past two weeks have forever linked Sundance in our mind to the early onset of acid reflux disease (bring it on, ulcers!), but other people still seem to think it’s actually about the films. Most interesting are, of course, the annual attempts to discern from afar what films will be buzzworthy once the delirium of dozens of screenings, high altitudes, snow, rare celebs-eating-muffins-sightings and lack of sleep due to too much party-crashing sets in. SXSW’s Matt Dentler pipes up on behalf of Michael Cain‘s "TV Junkie," Logan Hill in New York falls for James Longley‘s doc "Iraq in Fragments," and Jeffrey Wells weighs in for "Little Miss Sunshine," while Rebecca Ascher-Walsh at the Hollywood Reporter surveys some of the big-name premieres (choice quote, regarding Julian Goldberger‘s Paul Giamatti-starring "The Hawk Is Dying": "One distributor admits that the film sounds ‘a bit precious’ but plans to line up for the Sundance screening anyway thanks to Goldberger’s track record"), USA Today‘s Anthony Breznican picks out ten possible fest hits, and Kenneth Turan in the LA Times, after wheezing out a few bars of that same old song about Sundance’s increasing commercialism, picks out a few potential highlights himself.
Mark Caro at the Chicago Tribune takes an interesting look at 2005 as the year of the "blockbuster specialized movie" that ends with a Sundance score card checking in on how the big buzz films from last year’s festival performed in the box office.
Other closer looks: David Halbfinger in the New York Times on IFC’s very own "This Film Is Not Yet Rated"; Lou Lumenick at the New York Post on Nicole Holofcener‘s opening night "Friends With Money"; a breathless Jason Silverman in Wired News on Roger Ingraham’s vampire flick "Moonshine" ("While ‘Moonshine’ has yet to be screened for the media or audiences — Ingraham was still fine-tuning the movie a week before its premiere — it already feels like the stuff of legend. It’s the kind of filmmaker-from-nowhere tale that Sundance and proponents of digital filmmaking have been promising for years, but so far has been relatively rare."); David Halbfinger again in the Times on Nick Cassavetes‘ "Alpha Dog" (which is looking to be Justin Timberlake‘s actual acting debut now that "Edison" seems to have vanished from the release date charts); The Reeler on just about anyone New York-based who’s headed out to the snowy reaches; and Logan Hill back in New York, who chats with three of the seven filmmakers behind "Destricted," which sounds like as excellent throwback to the days when art films were an excuse to glimpse some skin for anyone too chicken to venture into the realms of the actually pornographic. Speaking of that much-toed line, Ray Pride at Movie City Indie reports that Carlos Reygadas‘ already infamous "Battle in Heaven" has gotten bumped from its announced screening at Sundance’s largest venue, because the Eccles Theatre is part of a local high school, and official were concerned about showing the film, as planned, during school hours.

Reasons to buy Organic
With organic products being such a hot topic in this day and age we might find ourselves asking if organic is the best choice and why we should by organic products. We have some of the answers to your questions here.
In Canada, organic products must meet strict national standards. For more information on the Canadian Organic Standards refer to the Government of Canada Website buy following the link. A certified organic product will meet the standard and have the Canadian Organic logo on it.
When buying organic products, you are buying products that don’t use toxins and chemicals that have a negative impact on our environment and health. Organic farmers are not polluting our water systems as they are not using the chemicals and toxins.
Organic farmers promote sustainable and ecological balances and require less energy than other farming methods, and they produce healthier soil and there is less erosion which will keep the land fertile for years to come.
Organic farming contributes to the local economy and create local jobs. They sell their products to consumer at local farmer’s market or stores which in turn keeps the money local.
No GMO’s are found in organic products, Organic Standards forbids the use of them so it is a sure way to know you are avoiding GMO’s.
Be sure to look for organic products at your local grocery stores or markets or you can shop directly from some farms or farmer’s markets. You will be buying locally grown, fresh, ripe produce that has little impact on our environment.

Title: Running Covid-secure events – We did it!


The report explores the experiences of almost 200 black women who were living in “The Big Four”- four large housing projects within the city of New Orleans – when Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005. They were displaced from their prior homes due to the hurricane and the closure and demolition of the public housing units. This case shows that the experiences of black women in public housing were not taken into consideration when developing a plan for post-Katrina recovery. U.S. policies were implemented in a manner that took away opportunities, supports, and infrastructures from low-income women and their families most in need of a reliable safety net as they sought to recover from a catastrophic set of disasters and endure the Great Recession. Including the various experiences and voices of these women in the policy discussion going forward will ensure that future disasters do not perpetuate the marginalization of the most disadvantaged members of our communities.


Increased sightings of coyotes in Arcadia prompts City Council to hire a company to get rid of them.
The problem however, is how the animals will be removed. Rather than relocating them, the company hired by Arcadia’s City Council will be paid to catch and euthanize the coyotes.
PETA, the animal rights activist group, quickly shot back by sending a letter to The City of Arcadia and Mayor Tom Beck. They referred to the decision as cruel and suggested nonlethal ways of removing the coyotes.
This isn’t the first time Arcadia has eliminated coyotes. Back in 2010 – 2011, the city implemented a similar program, euthanizing about 20 coyotes.
It’s unclear whether PETA’s efforts will make a difference since the city staff’s recommendation of educating residents on measures to minimize coyote presence had little effect on deterring the Council from approving the lethal option.

What To Eat in Arizona
Long before Arizona became a state, Tucson was a capital of Sonoran-style Mexican fare. That tradition continues, from street food (try the crazy Sonoran hot dog!) to traditional green corn tamales and artisan tacos to chefs’ high-end interpretations (at Café Poca Cosa). South of Tucson along the border are culinary gems that reflect not only Mexico but also the quirky, colorful personality of settlers who came to find their fortune or get away from the rest of the world. Phoenix is a newer city and its eateries tend to be more stylish (although here, too, the Mexican food can be extraordinary); and to the north, around old Route 66, is a legacy of diners, cafes, and casual restaurants where travelers are made to feel at home.
Tucson's favorite street food is a dizzying package. An all-beef frank, wrapped in bacon and grilled, gets garnished with pinto beans, chopped tomatoes, onions, mustard, hot jalapeno sauce, and a squiggle of mayonnaise, then planted in a big soft bun and sided by a mercilessly hot roasted pepper.
Fresh corn on the cob is essential for green corn tamales because when the kernels are scraped off, enough juice comes with them to make a moist, full-flavored tamale filling. Roasted chilies are laced into it (often with cheese), and the combo is tightly rolled inside a green (not dried) corn husk that is steamed until the taste of earth and fire within are exuberantly married.
In the rest of America, pico de gallo – "nip of the rooster" – refers to the sort of chunky salsa cruda that ignites tacos and is such a good dip for chips. In the city of South Tucson it has another meaning altogether. In this case, the nip of the rooster is a gorgeous bouquet of giant chunks of watermelon, coconut, pineapple, mango, and jicama that get spritzed with lime juice and liberally sprinkled with a red-hot chili-powder mix. The spice delivers a lip-tingling punch and does wonders to elicit all the sweetness from the fruit it seasons. It adds up to a heady culinary collusion that marshals taste buds to attention.

Movies about Indian captives have thrilled American audiences since 1903, but none has been as influential as The Searchers (1956), John Ford’s adaptation of Alan Le May’s novel. Le May set his story of an uncle’s search for his kidnapped niece in the sparsely settled region northwest of Fort Worth during Reconstruction. The author studied 64 captivities from Texas, but his surviving research notes point to only one model for the searcher: Brit Johnson, an African-American teamster.
While a slave, Johnson worked under minimal supervision as a ranch foreman and raised his own livestock on the side. A contemporary described him as “tall, lithe, active and possessed of wonderful powers of endurance and physical strength.” His home life was shattered in 1864 when an Indian raiding party killed his son Jim and captured his wife, Mary, and two of their other children.
Determined to get his family back, Johnson traveled to military posts, Indian agencies and native villages across the southern Plains. He reportedly ransomed his family from the Comanches in 1865. Afterward, he continued to search for other stolen children. One of the few private individuals who succeeded in recovering captives, Johnson became a frontier celebrity in his day.
Johnson’s tale is hard to document, leading a few historians to dismiss it as legend. However, several eyewitness accounts lend it credence. Samuel A. Kingman, a lawyer who attended an Indian council in Kansas in 1865, recorded in his diary: “A black man from Texas comes in today & reports that he has redeemed his wife & two children from the Comanches, giving therefor 7 ponies.” Dot Babb, a Comanche captive in 1866-67, claimed to have met Johnson along the Cimarron River during one of the searcher’s trips, but recalled that Johnson did not have enough horses to trade for him at the time. Special Indian Commissioner Vincent Calya reported that Johnson spent a week at Fort Cobb in 1869 looking for a captive girl.
Kiowa raiders killed Johnson on a lonely Texas prairie in 1871. An obituary published in Texas newspapers lionized him as a “noble hearted man” and a “stranger to fear” who would “go alone on foot into Indian camps and either steal or ransom white children, whom the Indians had taken in captivity.” These “acts of chivalry,” all uncompensated, “seemed to be his delight.” According to the article, “He succeeded in getting three white children…not long before his death.” Researchers have not been able to confirm these later rescues, and Johnson’s last journeys may in fact have been unsuccessful. If the stories about his courageous feats were, in fact, exaggerated, the obituary reveals that the mythmaking had already begun during his lifetime.
Author Alan Le May remained so fascinated by Brit Johnson’s adventures that he wrote a treatment for a television drama about the real-life searcher in the early 1960s. It was never produced, and this remarkable but elusive American hero has faded into obscurity.

Odisha suspends police officer who demanded special law for cops’ security
The officer was suspended a day after the Odisha Police Officers’ Association, a body of over 3000 inspectors and sub-inspectors demanded a separate law to book offenders who attack police personnel on duty.Updated: Jul 30, 2019 23:00 IST
Odisha’s director general of police RP Sharma suspended the president of Odisha Police Officers’ Association and assistant commissioner of police in Bhubaneswar, Satyajit Mishra over indiscipline and gross misconduct.
The suspension came a day after the Odisha Police Officers’ Association, a body of over 3000 inspectors and sub-inspectors demanded a separate law to book offenders who attack police personnel on duty.
Mishra in a press conference on Sunday had demanded security and separate law for police officials after the inspector of a police station in Balasore district was assaulted on Saturday by irate public over the suicide of a minor boy in a roadside dhaba. The police officer had gone to the spot to probe the boy’s death when his family members and locals thrashed him over alleged police inaction.
At the press conference in Cuttack, Mishra said that the law should be made on similar lines as in the case of government doctors. Referring to the Baliapal incident in which the local police Inspector had to face the wrath of public, Mishra alleged that police officers in Odisha were repeatedly coming under attack from public and this needs to be taken seriously.
“Our security is important for the police personnel to discharge their duties effectively. During the investigation of a case, if we notice that a congregation of crowd is taking shape of a mob, we will avoid the situation. Why will we risk our lives if there is not protection for us?” said Mishra.
A senior police official said the police association’s press conference did not go down well with the home department.

The First Nations Summer Games are underway in Regina. The File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council is hosting athletes from 74 Saskatchewan First Nation communities. Opening ceremonies kick off the games on Sunday night at 5 p.m.
Sporting events are at Liebel Field until Aug. 11. Athletes will compete in nine sporting events: archery, athletics, beach volleyball, canoeing, cross-country, golf, lacrosse, soccer and softball.
The hope is the games will empower excellence in First Nations youth through sports and culture.
“A lot of them come from up north, and [it’s] their first summer games in the big city. It’s a great experience and we always believe that experience creates knowledge,” Games manager Elmer Eashappie said.
On the First Nation Sport website, it says the games were initiated in 1974 through consultation with First Nation leaders in the province. They determined that the majority of First Nations youth under the age of 20 were excluded by non-Indigenous sports teams and leagues.
