Manchester City will look to maintain their march to the Premier League title when they visit relegation-threatened Swansea City on Wednesday. The leaders may welcome back star striker Sergio Aguero, who was left on the bench for Sunday’s 2-1 win over Manchester United in the derby.
Before then, Chelsea will hope to put pressure on second-placed United by winning at Huddersfield Town, a place where the Red Devils have already been beaten. Avoiding the same fate will require the Blues rebounding from their 1-0 loss to West Ham United on Saturday.
The Hammers will be chasing another notable victory over a top-six club when they host Arsenal on Wednesday, with the Gunners fresh off leaving it late to snatch a point in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Southampton.
Picks of the week
Huddersfield Town vs. Chelsea
Chelsea struggled to get their key attackers involved at the London Stadium, with striker Alvaro Morata and winger Eden Hazard both out of sorts.
Manager Antonio Conte’s team also lacked width after the Italian selected a three-man midfield of N’Golo Kante, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Cesc Fabregas. This may be a game for Willian and Pedro to return to the starting XI and offer a more direct option.
Huddersfield won’t be easy to beat since they’ve made a habit of making life difficult for the big clubs at the John Smith’s Stadium. The Terriers have beaten United 2-1 and pushed leaders City all the way recently.
Even so, Chelsea have enough quality to take all three points, provided their key names are back on song.
Swansea City vs. Manchester City
City’s march to the title seems unstoppable after the way they out-passed and outclassed United in the derby. Midfielder David Silva was at the heart of everything good his team did at Old Trafford.
Silva opened the scoring for City to highlight an imperious performance. His combination with Kevin De Bruyne means City can control possession against any opposition.
Swansea should be prepared to soak up pressure and try to counter at pace. The latter is something strikers Wilfried Bony and Tammy Abraham can help with. They each boast enough pace and power to trouble City at the back.
Bony in particular will have a point to prove after enduring a disappointing spell at City before returning to the Swans in the summer.
Ultimately, the leaders’ midfield quality will ensure yet another win.
West Ham United vs. Arsenal
David Moyes will be plotting a second upset in succession for the Hammers after his team’s shock win over Chelsea. It was a result made possible by a rigid defensive block and smart use of pace and aerial power on the break.
Marko Arnautovic embodied those qualities after getting his long overdue maiden goal for the Hammers.
Arnautovic and Michail Antonio are physical enough to cause headaches for an Arsenal defence in generous mood lately. The Gunners gifted two goals to United in a 3-1 defeat and were a comedy of errors as Charlie Austin scored for Southampton.
Manager Arsene Wenger spoke about psychological struggles at the back, per James Whaling of the Daily Mirror: “I felt that the Manchester United game was still in the heads of our defenders. That’s why sometimes it’s not too good to talk about a problem because you create even a bigger one.”
Wenger may be content to downplay the issues, but there’s no doubt Arsenal’s suspect defending could cost them a place in the top four. Fortunately, there is still enough craft and skill in attacking areas for the Gunners to edge a close game and earn a much-needed win.
Full fixtures and predictions:
Tuesday, December 12
7:45 p.m Burnley vs. Stoke City (2-1)
8.00 p.m Crystal Palace vs. Watford (1-2)

BY BLESSED MHLANGA
The government has defended its testing system for coronavirus after it was forced to review downwards the number of Covid-19 cases recorded in the country so far following the retesting of six people from Harare.
On Thursday, the Health and Child Care ministry announced that it had ordered the retesting of six people believed to be nurses and a doctor at a major hospital in the capital following an “unusual clustering” of cases.
The following day the ministry said Zimbabwe’s coronavirus positive cases had been revised downwards from 40 to 34 after all those that were retested were found to be negative.
Agnes Mahomva, the Health and Child Care secretary told The Standard last night that there was nothing amiss about the retests.
“We saw an unusual cluster of six results and in line with our standard operating procedures and quality assurance processes, when you establish something like that; you have to redo certain processes to make sure there is no contamination,” Mahomva said.
“This is exactly what happened.
“We went through our quality process of quality assurance.”
She said the ministry was still investigating whether the false results were due to faulty kits or human error.
“We are still continuing to look at it,” Mahomva said.
“But we are happy that we now have the right results. We are very happy with that process.
“In terms of looking at what happened, [and] how, those are just processes that we continue to look into.
“But I want to give you confidence that we managed to pick up the unusual cluster.”
The change in the national statistics was the second time the ministry had to revise downwards the number of recorded Covid-19 cases after a Bulawayo case was allegedly counted twice a week ago.
It has since emerged that the six Harare cases involved a doctor and nurses, who were tested during training of health workers on coronavirus testing protocols at a major hospital in the capital.
Doctors at the named institution are said to have asked to be trained to carry out the tests. The training was carried out in the maternity ward where the doctor and nurses initially tested positive.
“The reason why these people had to be subjected to second tests is in two parts and not only the issue that this was unusual, but because they had been done by a person, who is still under training. The risk that they had done it the wrong way was high,” said a health worker at the institution.
“Retests had to be conducted and the results came out negative and also because, the reagents that were used in these tests could have been faulty and some of the lysing solution provided is not of good standard.
“Despite complaints raised by doctors on the testing procedures nothing has been done.”
Former Health minister Henry Madzorera, who is also the MDC secretary for health, said the number of cases involved in the retests raised questions.
“We raised alarm at the fact that six positive cases were going for an unspecified quality check,” Madzorere said.
“We are now told that the six positives are now negative, how is that possible?
“How did such a high false positive rate come to be? Is the rest of the testing reliable?”
There were reports that some of the Covid-19 testing kits Zimbabwe received from China as donations were faulty.

Last weekend we made probably the final sailing trip during this season. Nice autumn weather had been forecasted for the whole weekend so we started at Friday noon and headed for Southern Archipelago sea. We had good northwesterly wind during Friday and Saturday, but on Sunday the wind calmed and we had to motor six hours. On Friday we decided to overnight at Berghamn, which is lovely island with only a few permanent inhabitants. On Saturday we continued with a relaxed leg to a nearby Stenskär.
At Airisto we saw one of the worlds largest sailing yachts, 220 ft long Hetairos which is manufactured by Baltic Yachts in Finland. They were running some tests since the boat was launched a few months ago.
Feelings are a bit down because this great sailing season is almost over. We are now focusing on getting Dolphin Dance well prepared for winter. And soon we start for planning for the next season. More info on our plans later…

Church Organ Crack With Activator
Music instruments are found in quite the variety of types, each one emitting a different sound. Nowadays, specialized computer software components can emulate nearly all existing instruments for musical compositions to be created with less effort. For instance, Church Organ is a slim audio plugin which can be used to include organ sounds in songs.
Before Church Organ can be of any use, the target computer must be fitted with a suitable audio host, with one example being energyXT. Routing can be done according to input and output devices needed for a proper audio experience. An external MIDI required is not necessarily required, since most VST hosts provide a virtual keyboard to use in this regard.

The configuration panel displays a cool image depicting a powerful organ. It’s not interactive in any way, but there are several knobs through which sound effects, and parameters are adjusted. Changes generate real-time feedback, but there’s also a power switch for quick toggle of this instrument.
Except for the general volume configurator, there are no more than four knobs with which to adjust sound. The room knob dictates how much sound is retained, more like an echo effect. Damp can be used to set dry/wet mixture, while width leaves the impression of a large environment, and the mix knob adds sort of a crossfade effect between notes for a smooth transition.

The alarming decline in male+ fertility: unravelling the causes behind the crisis
A volume of research conducted across decades is unequivocal – men+ today produce fewer and less healthy sperm than those who lived half a century ago. A systematic paper from 2017, analysing over 185 studies spanning four decades, for example, found a 60 percent decrease in sperm counts since the 1970s. 1
Individual research underscores the same conclusion – sperm quality across the world is declining, contributing to the struggles of people who are trying to conceive. 2 In fact, in about 35 percent of couples with infertility, a male+ factor is identified along with a female+ factor, while in an additional 10 percent infertility is attributed to male+ factors only. 3
What chemicals are bad for the sperm
Many reasons for declining male+ fertility can be traced back to modern-day lifestyle choices and environmental exposures. For example, it’s well established that certain pollutants and other toxins can decrease sperm concentration, motility (movement) and viability, defined as the percentage of live sperm in a semen sample. Pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals and toxic gases all act as endocrine disruptors that can potentially mess up the delicate hormonal balance in your body. 4
One of the most prevalent endocrine disruptors is bisphenol A, also known as BPA. Typically found in plastic containers, water bottles and food packaging, BPA can leach into food and beverages, from where it sooner or later ends up in our bodies. Studies on rodents showed that BPA exposure can lead to a significant decrease in sperm motility, count and increased DNA damage inside the sperm head, breaking up the strands and making conception unlikely. 5
Heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and arsenic, present in food, water and cosmetics, are also known to harm sperm health. 6 Pesticides have the same damaging effect when they interfere with testosterone production and sometimes lead to fertility issues.
Air pollution, too, is associated with a similar impact on semen. People working on highways, for example, exposed to nitrogen oxide and lead released from car exhausts, were found to have reduced sperm motility and sperm movement compared to other men+ living in the same area. 7

Cyber Organoids Let Scientists Observe Cell Development
Scientists have successfully grown a ‘cyber organoid,’ a simplified organ formed from stem cells with integrated electrochemical sensors to observe its development.
Organs are formed by the self-assembly of stem cells into complex 3D structures. However, due to the difficulty of monitoring this process there are still significant gaps in scientists’ understanding. Electrochemical sensors have been used previously to monitor the signalling and attractive forces between cells as they develop.
These sensors have been limited by their size and flexibility; they often damage the cells and disrupt cellular networks before they can observe them. The researchers therefore developed a new flexible mesh based electrochemical sensor. They increased the flexibility of the mesh by forming it into serpentine structures, similar to the kind found in wearable electronics, to monitor cell differentiation without causing cell damage.
The mesh sensor was placed on a 2D sheet of human derived pluripotent stem cells. The cells started to proliferate, which started to integrate the mesh into the cell structure. The structure then started to fold into the complex 3D structure of the organoid, which evenly distributed the sensor mesh throughout the structure. Lastly, the cells differentiated into specialised heart cells to form the complete heart organoid.
As the sensors were completely integrated into the organoid, the researchers were able to observe the electrophysiological properties of the cells as they differentiated. By comparing the protein markers expressed in cyborg organoids non-cyborg organoids across the development process it was determined that the addition of electronics did not impact cell differentiation.
Researchers now want to make organoids for other organs, including the pancreas and the brain.


Croatia marks 8th Anniversary of NATO membership
The eighth anniversary of the membership of the Republic of Croatia in NATO was marked in the Croatian Parliament on 4 April 2017, in attendance of the Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Damir Krstičević and the Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces, General Mirko Šundov.
The Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Božo Petrov said in his address that the accession confirmed the Republic of Croatia, having won the Homeland War, had the strength to engage in goodneighbourly relations and co-operation. “Croatia advocates enlargement for all countries who envisage their future in the guildelines stated in NATO's Open Door Policy. Global threats and security risks can only be dealt with through jointly enhanced alliance of the EU and NATO“, said the Speaker .
The anniversary marking ceremony was attended by the President of NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Hon. Paolo Alli, who in his address stressed the importance of stability in the current highly complex defence environment . “We have to act united to withstand the threats. Security has become a global issue, and no country can act on its own. ..NATO's enlargements have promoted stability“.
Minister Krstičević in his address stated that the Republic of Croatia over the past eight years of NATO membership has proved to be a credible ally and an equal partner to other member nations. “Through NATO membership we have contributed at once to the national security and to the security of our allies and enhanced our position in the international community…The membership has promoted the security of our country, which was the main precondition of the social and economic development“.
The Minister also underlined that joining NATO was not about following a trend but a proof of the political maturity and international affirmation of Croatia.
“Croatia assumed respoinsibility within the Euro-Atlantic security and defence framework in full awareness that security and stability of the international community cannot be achieved individually but as a collaborative effort…From the early days of our membership we have responsibly built the capabilities guaranteeing the security and stability of Croatia and contributing to the allied efforts towards the collective security..Croatia has provided significant contribution to the world peace by participating in the UN-, the EU- and NATO-led peace operations“, said Minister Krstičević.
The Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces, General Mirko Šundov stated that Croatia's entry to NATO on 1 April 2009 as full member and joining the political, security and economic association of the member countries was a momentous moment in its history. General Šundov emphasised NATO's ollective defence system as crucial, providing additional safety for Croatia. The Croatian Armed Forces have shared their experiences from the accession with the partner countries of southeast Europe to facilitate their own efforts towards Euro-Atlantic integration through education and training, joint engagement in peace support operations and assisting them with the processes of re-organisation and reforms of their defence systems. "The Croatian Armed Forces have been developed as modern, well-equipped and trained force, interoperable with the allied and partner forces and capable of deterring potential threats tp the security and sovereignty of Croatia, and of supporting the international peace and security building efforts and to the civilian institutions“.

Scotty McCreery’s heart will always belong to his home state of North Carolina, but he’s been spending more and more time in Nashville in the past few years. It only makes sense that he’d want to be in the center of the action for his career, so Scotty recently got a condo near downtown.
So far, Scotty has really enjoyed the convenience of living in the center of Music City.
He tells Rare Country, “It’s been great. You see more folks as far as keeping relationships going. Saying hey to folks you haven’t seen in a while. It’s just been convenient and fun. This town’s great. I’m enjoying the heck out of it.”
Even though Scotty’s condo is centrally located, he’s still learning how long it take to get around town.
He adds, “I’m right by Music Row if I got a songwriting appointment. I’ve been late to everything on Music Row ’cause I’m like, I can leave so late, and I’ll be on time, and I’m always late now.”
It’s hard to get around Nashville these days due to all the construction going on around town, too. The city is in the middle of a building boom, and Scotty sees it all from his condo.
“I got all sorts of cranes out my windows,” he says. “That’s kind of my view. My view is all of Music Row, and there’s a crane here and a crane there. New ones popping up all over the place.”
Nashville is also known as a big hub for the healthcare industry, and Scotty’s girlfriend, Gabi, is a nurse. So, have they started talking about her making the move to Music City, too?
Says Scotty, “I’ve definitely let Gabi know there’s plenty of hospitals here in town. I’m sure there’s plenty of nursing spots that are open. So, as of right now, she’s still in Carolina, but who knows? One day.”
For now, Scotty is focused on his latest single, “Five More Minutes,” which just came out a few weeks back. He’s busy writing and recording more music for his highly-awaited upcoming studio album. We expect to see the video for “Five More Minutes” very soon as well.

But what exactly does it mean to beat a past contestant on the show, and how close is "'Jeopardy!' James" to becoming the greatest of the great? The Jeopardy Hall of Fame has four categories: consecutive wins, regular season winnings, single-game winnings and all-time winnings. After passing Julia Collins' consecutive wins, Holzhauer has just two contestants ahead of him in any of the categories.
As Holzhauer approaches Jennings' record of most regular season winnings, let's take a look the stats and where he and other all-time best contestants stand.
First appearance: 2019; Currently on the show (Stats updated as of 5/30/19 episode)
Records: Single-game winnings ($131,127, won on April 17)
Holzhauer is the undisputed faster earner on the show, dominating this category. "'Jeopardy!' James" claims all top 10 spots.
First appearance: 2004
Records: Consecutive wins (74), Regular season winnings ($2,520,700)
Can Holzhauer surpass him? Holzhauer has won 31 games and more than $2.38 million. He would need to stretch his weeks-long streak into a months-long streak before he has the longest run ever on the show, but he's been quickly gaining in cash. If he keeps winning, he is expected to pass Jennings early next week.
First appearance: 2000
Records: All-time winnings ($4,688,436)
Can Holzhauer surpass it? Holzhauer has a long way to go to become the person with the greatest all-time winnings, though he is in a solid third place behind Jennings and Rutter. Since Rutter got most of his money winning multiple tournaments, it may be a while before Holzhauer even gets a chance to overtake him.
First appearance: 2014
Records: Third place in consecutive wins (20)
When did he pass it? Holzhauer nabbed second place on the consecutive wins list, held for five years by Collins, on May 2. After he beat Collins, the show declared on social media that Holzhauer is officially #ChasingKen.
The legends have spoken: James Holzhauer is a force to be reckoned with. pic.twitter.com/JVECbbBZfq— Jeopardy! (@Jeopardy) May 18, 2019

Ariana Grande and Naya Rivera’s ex-fiance, rapper Big Sean, have joined forces to collaborate on their single “Best Mistake,” but now rumors are swirling that they’re dating.
Grande just split from her boyfriend, Jai Brooks, about a month ago but it seems she’s cozying up to Big Sean lately. Big Sean called off his engagement to the Glee star in April but she has since married her longtime friend Ryan Dorsey in Mexico.
A source told E! News, “They have been friends since they made the song together. They have been spending more time together and recently have been getting very close. They are both doing great.”
The two reportedly went on a date to see The Purge: Anarchy and were then spotted at The Grove in Los Angeles afterwards.
When Big Sean confirmed his split from Rivera, he was forced to deny rumors that he was cheating.
Neither Grande and Big Sean’s rep have responded to the dating rumors.

Yesterday Josep sent me a link to a new free game now available on the BlackBerry Help portal at http://mobile.blackberry.com. The game is actually pretty fun and is based on the TV show of the same name. You can pick it up at the link above from your BlackBerry. Once you are at the homepage just go to the Games link->free games and you will find it there.
The idea is that the game gives you the first letter of a 5 letter word and you have to guess the rest of the word. It gives you 10 tries per word and if you get 5 words in a series then you move to the lightning round. It will tell you if you have gotten one of the letters in the wrong place by making it yellow. It will also tell you if you have the letter in the right place by making it red.
Pretty fun game if you want to turn into a walking dictionary of 5 letter words. I found the game quite fun and challenging but I will let Luc bend his mind to breaking it.
The main criticism I have for the game is that it always forgets to turn off the volume. That means if you set the option to volume off. Every time you open the game the volume will be turned on again. You also cannot close the game and return but you can just minimize it.

Dear Earth, I was awake in the night.On 14th January 2020 by Satya
After a heated conversation I was stuck awake with my brain fizzing until 3 a.m. Either that, or it was the big chocolate caramel brownie, and I’d rather give up triggering conversations than sugar so…
I was triggered into a complicated combination of thoughts and feelings, including whether I was safe, and whether I was a good person or a terrible person. It wasn’t the fault of the other person or of the group we were talking about – I was a gun on a hair-trigger. I am complex, and I have many parts. This morning they’ve all settled down again, but in the night there was nothing I could do to soothe them.
If I am this complex, precious Earth, and this delicate, then how much more so are you? How can the scientists even begin to make sense of what we are doing to you? I do know that they are heaping up evidence of the knock on effects of the results of our harming you – one terrible snooker ball hitting another and another and another…
“The Earth is a huge interlinked system with different parts that all interact with and affect one another. Therefore, to try to understand the full implications of climate change and biodiversity loss, we need to think holistically. Moreover, it is unrealistic and hubristic to suppose that such holistic thinking could ever be complete or enough. We must accept living in a world that we will never fully understand. The unbelievable complexity of Earth is something before which we should be humble.”Extinction Rebellion: The Emergency
It’s been easy to return my system to equilibrium. Some writing in my journal at 1 a.m., a gentle start to the morning, an apology. An acknowledgement that I’ll never ‘fix’ myself, just keep on making adjustments to the system. A lean in to something bigger which holds me.
How can we even begin to heal you, dear Earth?
I hear her whispering: start where you are. Keep your eyes open to what is happening. Be gentle to me whenever you can. Speak up for me. Stay humble. Keep on leaning into my lap which, even as you hurt me, is wide and soft and full of love.
With sweet grief for you, Satya <3

According to analysts, the end of the year is looking weak in gross gaming revenues.
Macau.- Gross Gaming Revenue is still looking weak in Macau according to analysts. Bernstein Research estimates that there has been no improvement in December GGR through mid-month with the figure at MOP 10.8 billion, down 16 per cent year-on-year.
“The month may turn out to be weaker than currently estimated if weakness permeates post Xi’s visit as customers hold off visiting Macau until the new year,” they added.
On the other hand, Bernstein also noted that “we have a positive outlook on the Macau gaming industry in the long-run, especially Mass (and Premium Mass in particular).”
“Both Mass and VIP have been trending lower during the first half of December. We estimate Mass to be down low-to mid-single digits while VIP volumes are down in the low 30%. VIP hold rate is on the high end, but lower than last December,” informed Bernstein and estimated a decline of -16 to -12 per cent year-on-year, vs. the Bloomberg consensus of -10 percent.

Three days after Gov. Greg Abbott called for a convention of states to amend the U.S. Constitution, his fellow high-ranking Republicans in Texas — typically quick to chime in with support for the governor — have kept uncharacteristically quiet about the proposal.
Abbott received a standing ovation at a conservative think tank's conference on Friday after he unveiled nine proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution, intended to bolster states’ rights while reining in the powers of Congress and the federal government. The governor predicted a majority of Americans would support amending the Constitution to require Congress pass a balanced federal budget and allow states to override federal laws and U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Yet outside of the Hilton ballroom in Austin, Abbott's proposal has not drawn the same instant praise. Several GOP state leaders including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus have yet to weigh in on the proposal. Neither representatives for Patrick nor Straus responded to questions from The Texas Tribune Monday.
Cynthia Meyer, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's spokeswoman, suggested Paxton believed Abbott's amendments “ought to be considered” but stopped short of confirming he supports Abbott's proposal for a constitutional convention.
“Perhaps this bold call causes Congress and the courts to listen to the American people and return their focus to a limited government,” Meyer said.
The ambivalence among many Republican officials underscores the divisions among conservative grassroots about how Abbott proposed for the U.S. Constitution to be amended. The standard method for making changes requires a two-thirds vote from both chambers of Congress. Each of the document’s 27 existing amendments was approved that way.
But the Constitution also permits a second, unrealized method for passing amendments. If 34 states ask for a constitutional convention, delegates may meet to consider changes to the Constitution — which could then become law if they had the support of at least 38 states. In 2015, the Texas House passed a bill calling for such a convention but it failed to pass out of the Senate.
Critics say this method would risk leading to a “runaway” convention, where states could radically alter the document that forms the backbone of U.S. governance. Abbott has said those concerns are without merit.
After the governor’s speech on Friday, at least one elected Texas Republican suggested disagreement with Abbott's plan.
“The Constitution is not the problem,” wrote state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, on his Facebook page. “It’s elected officials that won’t stand up and enforce the strict limitations it imposes on the role of government both in Washington and Austin.”
Simpson is running for the Texas Senate. A spokesman for his chief opponent in that race, state Rep. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, did not respond to a request for comment on his position about Abbott’s proposal.
One of the strongest supporters of Abbott's plan, state Rep. Paul Workman, R-Austin, has pledged to pass the proposal in the next legislative session.
"I have committed my full support to the governor in making sure Texas takes the lead in restoring the rights of the states and putting our country back on track," Workman wrote in TribTalk, the Tribune’s op-ed site. "Now is the time for a convention of states."
Across the aisle, Texas Democrats lambasted Abbott’s call for a constitutional convention, calling it an attempt by an “imperial” governor to “tear apart the Constitution.”
“Texas families deserve serious solutions, not Tea Party nonsense,” said Texas Democratic Party Deputy Director Manny Garcia.
Yet the Tea Party is far from united on the issue.
Julie McCarty, president of the NE Tarrant Tea Party, a prominent conservative group, said she personally opposed the idea but that her group has “participants on both sides.”
“Texas conservative grassroots have come a long way in educating ourselves and building our influence, but this is not something we are ready for until our numbers are much bigger, our influence is much stronger, and frankly, not until we take seriously our need for much more education on the role of government and how it should work,” she wrote in an email.
That view was shared by Konni Burton, formerly of the NE Tarrant Tea Party and now a Republican state Senator from Colleyville, in 2011, when then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry called on state lawmakers to endorse a constitutional convention for a federal balanced budget amendment. Lawmakers that year failed to pass a law calling for a convention.
Burton at the time told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that such a convention could allow "anyone to offer up any number of amendments ... based on their own ideology and interests, which could ultimately radically change our Constitution."
A spokesman for Burton did not return multiple requests for comment since Friday about whether her views on a constitutional convention had changed.
Randy Barnett, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University who supports a convention of states, said conservative groups like the Eagle Forum and John Birch Society have historically opposed the proposal, but that their fears of a runaway convention were “based on a misreading.”
“The worst thing that could ever happen is that the convention would propose amendments that would be beyond whatever scope they were supposedly given, and then three-quarters of the states would have to approve them,” he said.
Even U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a longtime Abbott ally who worked under Abbott when Abbott was attorney general, has suggested he may support a constitutional convention in the future but has not gone as far as Abbott on the issue. Campaigning last year in Iowa, Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate, predicted there would be "more and more movement" toward a convention if Congress did not act on constitutional amendments.
On this issue, Abbott may be more aligned with one of Cruz's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination. Last week, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio from Florida called for a constitutional convention in an op-ed published in USA Today.

Having the Love of God is so important! You never know what people are dealing with and when you show them the love of God, it is a balm to their soul. Let us allow patience to have its perfect work and long suffering too. You never know who it helps to overcome.
We all go through our trials and tribulations. Each of us can be a handful, so when we remember that and truly treat others as we would like to be treated; change can happen. Not necessarily changing everything you want changed, but the heart of a man when it is changed by God.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
I Corinthians 13:1-13 NKJV

Brabin's stinging attack on Boro

CAMBRIDGE United boss Gary Brabin has launched a scathing attack on Boro after his side knocked Graham Westley's men out of the Blue square Premier play-offs.
Speaking after his team booked their place in the play-off final by overcoming a 3-1 deficit on Monday, Brabin said both he and his squad were angered by Boro players' comments following the first leg and also criticised Boro for what he saw as unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Brabin said: "They were celebrating and already organising the Wembley trip. I think a few of their lads have done out team-talk for us with the things they said on Setanta.
"Things like that were enough for us to be wound up and respond, and I was confident because the lads were straight back into their work ethic in training.
"Stevenage were timewasting from the off and I don't think the referee helped our cause there.
"Overall I think he refereed the game well, but we wanted the tempo to be quicker and we tried to make him aware of some of their antics.

Federal US investigators are now looking into the contamination of Flint, Michigan's water supply as a state of emergency continues.
The FBI has joined a criminal investigation into lead contaminated drinking water in Flint, Michigan, exploring whether any laws were broken in a crisis that has captured international attention.
Federal prosecutors in Michigan are working with an investigative team that includes the FBI, the US Postal Inspection Service, the US Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Inspector General, and the EPA's Criminal Investigation Division, a spokeswoman for the US Attorney's Office in Detroit said.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman said the agency will determine if federal laws were broken, but declined further comment. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy is meeting with officials and community leaders in Flint on Tuesday.
The city, about 100km northwest of Detroit, was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager when it switched the source of its tap water from Detroit's system to the Flint River in April 2014.
Flint switched back last October after tests found high levels of lead in blood samples taken from children. The more corrosive water from the river leached more lead from the city pipes than Detroit water did. Lead is a toxic agent that can damage the tissues of the nervous system.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, who extended a state of emergency in Flint until April 14, has repeatedly apologised for the state's poor handling of the matter.
"It's important to look at missteps at all three levels of government - local, state and federal - so such a crisis doesn't occur again," said Dave Murray, a spokesman for Snyder.
Peter Henning, a law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit and a former federal prosecutor, said there is limited ability to seek criminal charges under US environmental laws. Prosecutors would need to find something egregious like a knowingly false statement.
"You need a lie," he said. "You need something that is false to build a case."
Simply failing to recognise the seriousness of the situation would not rise to that level, Henning said.
In Washington, senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow, Democrats from Michigan, pushed for $US600 million ($A851.49 million) in aid, mostly in federal funds, to help Flint replace pipes and provide health care.

Cate Brothers @ Chrome Lounge
August 30, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm$15
Arkansas-based Earl and Ernie Cate were prolific songwriters and singers who blended the blues with elements of rock & roll, country and rockabilly. Pianist/vocalist Ernie and guitarist/vocalist Earl signed to Asylum Records in 1975; their self-titled debut, issued shortly after, included appearances by Donald “Duck” Dunn, Steve Cropper, former Band drummer Levon Helm, and former Eagle and Poco member Timothy B. Schmidt. They followed up their debut in 1976 with In One Eye and Out the Other, trailed in 1977 by The Cate Brothers Band. Spurred by the success of the single “Union Man,” 1979’s Fire on the Tracks reached number 24 on the album rock charts in 1976.
Radioland Despite a dearth of recordings through the 1980s, the band remained a popular touring act in Tennessee, Arkansas and other strongholds of country rock and blues around the South. In the early ’80s, Earl and Ernie joined Helm and others to form a reconstructed version of the Band, which by that point had lost guitarist Robbie Robertson; aside from touring with Helm, they also collaborated with blues singer Maria Muldaur. The Cate Brothers continued recording into the 1990s; in 1995, they issued Radioland, a unique hybrid of pop-oriented blues-rock, Stax-era soul-blues and country-rock on which they were joined by former John Mayall blues guitar phenom Coco Montoya. A new album, Play by the Rules, was released in 2004.
The link between the Band and the Cate Brothers dates back to 1966, when Levon Helm was their drummer for a few gigs in Arkansas after he had left the Hawks’ tour with Bob Dylan. In 1981, five years after The Last Waltz, Levon and the Cates did a series of concerts in Canada and the US. When the Band finally was reunited again in 1983, they started out as an eight-piece ensemble with Levon, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel, plus the following members of the Cate Brothers Band:
Earl Cate, guitar
Ernie Cate, keyboards
Ron Eoff, bass
Terry Cagle, drums
Band guitarist Jim Weider also played with the Band during this period. The Cates teamed up with the Band again on the beginning of their 1985 tour, but had to leave after a while due to economical problems. Jim Weider instead continued as the guitarist of the Band. The Cate Brothers Band have in the later years done occasional performances with Levon, Garth Hudson, and the Band.
Levon Helm appeared on The Cate Brothers’ debut album Cate Brothers (1975) and on their fourth effort, Fire on the Tracks (1979). No Band members are credited on their later releases. The Cates also contributed to Levon’s solo albums Levon Helm (1978), American Son (1980), and Levon Helm (1982).
Levon’s nephew Terry Cagle and his group the Jungle Bush Beaters, named after Levon Helm’s first high school band, released the album Distant Drums in 2000.

Please view this VIDEO explaining the basics of defining an adequate stocking rate. Defining the stocking rate is the most critical decision a land and livestock manager can make; no other grazing management decision (i.e., use of an electric fence, fertilization, weed management, etc.) can overcome the failure of defining an adequate stocking rate.

The Rise of the United Association is a study of the national union of plumbers, steam fitters, sprinkler fitters, and other pipe trades--the organization known today as the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada.
The study covers 40 crucial years in the history of national unionism of the pipe trades. In the beginning of the period (in the early 1880's) local unions of plumbers, gas fitters, and steam fitters were making first attempts to form a national organization of their crafts; forty years later, the United Association (UA) was unchallenged in its position as the national union of the pipe trades, and constituted one of the strongest organizations in contemporary building trades and in the AFL.
The Rise of the United Association concerns itself primarily with the description and analysis of the development and policies of the national union rather than with the history of local organizations of plumbers and steam fitters. In particular, the study deals with the factors that led to the rise of the first national organization of the pipe trades and then to the founding of the UA; with the complex process of internal reform that transformed the UA - originally a loose federation of locals - into a modern national union; and with the policies and tactics that eventually brought within the fold of the national organization all the pipe trades employed in building and other industries-- plumbers, steam fitters, gas fitters, sprinkler fitters, and others.
During the course of the forty years of unionism described in this volume the leaders and members of the national organizations of the pipe trades were confronted with many crucial and difficult issues - the relation of their organization to the Knights of Labor, the development of a viable system of union government and finances, the regulation of apprenticeship in plumbing and steam fitting, the problem of establishing jurisdictional lines among the members of a multi-craft union. The description and analysis of union policies toward these and other issues provide major insights into the process of growth of an important labor organization and, indeed, into the development of national unionism in America.

Properly disposing of medical waste is vital for your organization’s safety. Keeping different types of medical waste separated also keeps your work space and the environment clean and free from hazardous waste. The EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) strictly regulates the disposal of hazardous pharmaceuticals. The EPA can impose hefty fines and punishments for not following these strict disposal procedures. If your organization produces hazardous pharmaceutical waste, it should be placed into a blue container. Blue container disposal should be performed regularly to ensure a safe environment.
What Is Blue Container Medical Waste?
Hazardous pharmaceutical waste, or items on the RCRA’s P and U lists, must be placed in clearly labeled and secure blue waste containers. If possible, return all waste items to their original packaging before placing them in the bin.
Items to place in blue waste containers include, but are not limited to:
- IV solutions
- Syringes with more than 10% contamination
- Vials with more than 10% contamination
- Pills and capsules
- Bulk Powders
Due to the types of materials that make their way into blue waste bins, these containers are typically fairly small, ranging from 2 – 20 gallon capacities depending on your needs.

The Vioxx settlement offer, announced in November, calls for $4 billion to be divided among former users of Vioxx who allege it caused them to have heart attacks, and $850 million for those who suffered strokes. More than 57,000 plaintiffs have registered to participate in the settlement.
Company sales rose 3 percent to $6.24 billion, in line with the Reuters Estimates forecast of $6.28 billion.
Combined sales of Vytorin and Zetia, the cholesterol fighters sold in a joint venture with Schering-Plough , grew 34 percent to $1.5 billion. The drugs tallied $5.2 billion in sales for 2007.
Merck shares have slumped some 20 percent since a controversial study earlier this month found that Vytorin failed to prevent the buildup of fatty plaque in the carotid artery better than a widely used generic, simvastatin. Vytorin combines Zetia with simvastatin.
Merck said it has become aware of or has been served with about 50 civil class-action lawsuits since mid-January alleging consumer fraud in connection with the promotion of Vytorin and Zetia.
Vytorin prescriptions have fallen amid the torrent of negative publicity about the disappointing trial data, even as Merck girds for U.S. generic competition beginning next week for its blockbuster osteoporosis drug Fosamax.
Sales of the Fosamax franchise rose 1 percent to $796 million in the fourth quarter. For 2007, Fosamax totaled $3 billion, but Merck expects sales to plunge to as low as $1.1 billion this year.
But booming sales of new Merck products for diabetes and to prevent cervical cancer are expected to help offset the blow.
Merck shares rose 2.1 percent to $49 in early premarket trading on the New York Stock Exchange from Tuesday's close of $48.01

10:51am: The Sixers have issued a press release confirming the dismissal of Rivers.
“Doc is one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, a future Hall of Famer, and someone I respect immensely,” Morey said in a statement. “We’re grateful for all he did in his three seasons here and thank him for the important impact he made on our franchise. After having the chance to reflect upon our season, we decided that certain changes are necessary to further our goals of competing for a championship.””
10:16am: The Sixers are parting ways with head coach Doc Rivers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (via Twitter).
Rivers’ hold on his job was considered shaky after Philadelphia lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to Boston on Sunday. A tight game at halftime turned into a blowout Celtics victory after Boston outscored the 76ers by a 33-10 margin in the third quarter.
The loss resulted in the Sixers’ third consecutive second-round playoff exit since Rivers was hired in 2020. During that time, the veteran coach led the club to a 154-82 (.653) regular season record but failed to make a deep playoff run. Philadelphia was eliminated by Atlanta in 2021 and Miami in 2022, losing the final game of the series at home in both instances.
Rivers is one of several accomplished head coaches to be let go this spring, joining recent champions and/or Coaches of the Year like Mike Budenholzer, Monty Williams, and Nick Nurse.
As Bobby Marks of ESPN observes (via Twitter), Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia lead the NBA in regular season victories since the start of the 2020/21 season, but all three clubs are making head coaching changes this offseason following disappointing postseason showings.
Previous reporting from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype indicated that Williams, Nurse, and Mike D’Antoni would likely be candidates to replace Rivers if the Sixers were to make a change. Wojnarowski confirms those names and adds a few more to Philadelphia’s list of potential candidates, tweeting that Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, and Frank Vogel are also expected to factor into the team’s search.
Of those six candidates, only Cassell – who is an assistant on Philadelphia’s staff – lacks head coaching experience. D’Antoni, Williams, Vogel are all former Sixers assistants, while D’Antoni has a long-standing relationship with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, having coached the Rockets during Morey’s time in Houston.
The decision to dismiss Rivers is the first one in a big offseason for the Sixers. While MVP center Joel Embiid is on a long-term contract, his co-star James Harden will reach free agency if he turns down his 2023/24 player option and has been repeatedly linked to the Rockets. Harden offered Rivers a very lukewarm endorsement following Sunday’s loss, so it’s possible the 10-time All-Star will be more inclined to remain in Philadelphia under a new head coach.
As for Rivers, it’s unclear at this point whether he’ll immediately emerge as a candidate to take over as the head coach for another NBA team. There are four clubs besides the Sixers with head coaching vacancies: Milwaukee, Phoenix, Toronto, and Detroit.

SHILLONG, July 28, 2018: Meghalaya Health Minister, A.L. Hek on Friday said that the Assam government will allot ten medical seats for Meghalaya and would not change the quota, which has been in place for the past several years.
Meghalaya health minister A.L. Hek on Friday said he had a word with Assam health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who assured that Assam will not change the quota.
“After receiving a letter from the Assam government that only two out of 10 seats would be allotted for Meghalaya, I called up the health minister and requested him not to change the quota till Meghalaya has its own medical college,” he said.
In September last year, the Supreme Court had directed the Assam government to allocate 10 seats to Meghalaya of the total 27 in Assam.
The apex court had passed this order after hearing a special leave petition filed by the Meghalaya government against their Assam counterpart for abolishing 10 medical seats that were reserved for the hill state.
Assam has been reserving 10 medical seats for Meghalaya – four each in Assam Medical College and Hospital and Gauhati Medical College and Hospital and two in Silchar Medical College.
The Meghalaya government said at the meeting of the joint committee on division of assets and liabilities between the two governments on March 15, 1976, it was decided that the Assam government would give Meghalaya all facilities available in “common institutions (including medical colleges)” in the state, provided that the expenditure was shared on pro-rata basis.
On the proposed set-up of medical colleges in Shillong and Tura, Hek said construction of the institution in Tura will start soon.
Initially, Rs 189 crore has been earmarked for the construction of Tura Medical College with a state share of 10 per cent. The total cost of the medical college will come to over Rs 500 crore. Telecommunication Consultants India Limited was engaged as a consultant for the project.
On delay to start the construction of Shillong Medical College, Hek said the process would start only after Reid Chest TB Hospital at Mawbah here is shifted to a new TB hospital at Umsawli near the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences.

There’s a monument attesting to South Boston’s architectural legacy and industrial history located in Cotton Mill Park at the corner of Berry Hill Road and Summit Drive.
The historic brick tower dates back to the early 1900s and was, at one time, the impressive entrance to the Century Cotton Mill and subsequently Halifax Cotton Mills.
Tommy Elliott, member of South Boston Town Council and CEO of Elliott Electric, recently announced that he, his wife, Jayne, and family would join the effort to restore and preserve Cotton Mill Tower. He’ll design an illumination plan that showcases the unique medieval style of the structure and highlights the intricate crenellated brick elements on the exterior. Based on weather conditions and materials delivery, he hopes to implement the plan in January.
Elliott and his company, Elliott Electric, have sponsored the annual South Boston Christmas Parade for the last 20 years and, like so many community events across the country, it had to be canceled this year. Looking for other ways to help his community, he and his wife saw an opportunity already underway with considerable town and civic support for the preservation and beautification of the tower and surrounding park.
“It will be an honor to work with town management, the Halifax County Historical Society and the South Boston Garden Club, who’ve already initiated significant restoration efforts and installed landscaping to enhance and preserve this living memory,” said Elliott. “My parents knew many people who worked at the mill and saw the community prosper in the heyday of cotton manufacturing.”
In 2016, the Halifax County Historical Society adopted the restoration project. Their “Buy A Brick” Campaign is underway and over 60 bricks have been purchased, many in place on the site. In 2019, the South Boston Garden Club secured a grant for landscaping and equipment restoration.
The Elliotts are giving each other bricks for Christmas as well as his children.
They encourage others to memorialize, honor and support this project by buying a brick that can be personalized for friends and family.

I used to have a gym partner, a few years ago. She always felt self-conscious at the gym. She felt shame because she was over weight, and she didn't want anyone to see her working out. I always responded that she should feel proud, instead. That she had something she didn't like about herself, and she was fixing it. And, of all the places to feel ashamed of being overweight, the gym was the worst!
To me, the idea of being ashamed of resolving some problem you perceive yourself to have is alien. Perhaps I was never properly shamed enough, growing up? I have been receiving some form of mental health treatment on and off for almost my entire life. I have never perceived the stigma that is associated with seeking mental health treatments.
That's not to say that I can't see where it comes from. I've seen the references to it in film or books, or on television. However, I've never felt that stigma from anyone I was personally acquainted with. So, it was unimportant to me. But, I've never really understood where the stigma comes from. I mean, I can understand the stigma of having some sort of mental health issue, trust me, I really can. But... fixing it? Why would people judge other people for fixing it?
Likewise, with the gym thing. I'm overweight, I know it. I really don't want to change my eating patterns too much, so exercise is pretty much it. Why be ashamed to take steps to rectify my weight problem?

We prospectively studied the characteristics of 401 patients with first-ever-in-a lifetime stroke who have been admitted consecutively into stroke care unit. During the evaluation of distribution according to age, patients were divided into 7 age groups with 10-year intervals. It was determined that ischemic stroke was mostly seen in the age group 71-80 (32.2%) and the age group 61-70(28.2%). The major risk factor of ischemic stroke was hypertension, followed by diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, smoking and hypercholesterolemia. The three most frequent etiologic categories were small-vessel disease, atherosclerotic large vessel disease and cardioembolism. The anatomical distribution of ischemic stroke were made according to the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project. The distribution of patients in term of vascular territories was most frequently seen in lacunar infarction. It was determined that lacunar infarcts were more significant in males whereas posterior circulation infarcts were more significant in females. When the distribution of vascular territories was evaluated in terms of risk factors, it was seen that hypertension and ischemic heart diseases were significant in total anterior circulation infarcts, and transient ischemic attack was significant in posterior circulation infarcts.
