When Cubs fans needed to be reassured Friday that their team could beat the Atlanta Braves, they looked to the fan who comes closest to representing the team's spiritual guide--a Harry Caray look-a-like.
"Three straight. No doubt in my mind," Mike Channon told the crowd that surrounded him outside the Westin Hotel on Michigan Avenue, where a giant Cubs balloon sat atop the hotel entrance.
Channon sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and carried trays of cookies topped with a Cubs logo made of white chocolate--definitely one reason fans gathered around him.
But the thick black glasses and shouts of "Holy Cow" amused the crowd, mostly Westin guests and workers on their breaks.
The rally, sponsored by the hotel, gave fans a chance to hurl balls past a radar gun and watch a video of Cubs season highlights.
Some met Dutchie Caray, Harry's widow, as she accepted a $5,000 check from the hotel to benefit Maryville Academy. The hotel, which has dedicated a room to Harry Caray's memory, donates $100 whenever the Cubs win a home game.
Dutchie Caray said she had dubbed the team the "Cardiac Cubs" for their roller-coaster season.
"I felt like calling 911 to revive me," Caray said of the Cubs' 2-1 extra-inning loss Thursday night. "We have to hang in there. I would love to see them go three more games. Stranger things have happened."
Schaumburg resident Fran Schneider, clad in a Cubs jersey, earrings and hat, stopped by to write a message to the team on a giant banner: "Thanks for the magical year." Another message declared: "Go Cubs! From a Sox Fan."
On Friday, the fans mingling outside the hotel talked about their hope for a three-game sweep in the next few days.
"Next year has to be right now," Channon said.
Harry Caray would no doubt agree.

South Korean Lawmaker Says He Will Start Accepting Crypto Donations in the New Year
Lee Kwang-jae (a Korean lawmaker) has stated that he will begin accepting cryptocurrency donations in the middle of January 2022. The lawmaker stated that anyone who wishes to support his campaign can do so by transferring funds directly to his office wallet.
The Korean Times report explains that once the crypto is received, it will be converted to Korean won and deposited into the sponsor’s account. According to the report, receipts for such donations will come in the form non-fungible tokens and be sent to the email address of the donor.
Kwang-jae, a member of Korea’s ruling Democratic Party of Korea, explained his reasons for accepting digital currency donations. He claimed that it will raise awareness about NFTs and crypto assets. He explained:
It has been a deeply regrettable experience for me that politicians have had an outdated view of digital assets at a critical time when the blockchain technologies used to create cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and the metaverse are rapidly improving day by day.
According to the lawmaker, now is a good time to conduct innovative experiments to improve understanding by Korean politicians of future technologies. According to the report the lawmaker hopes that these experiments will eventually help change public perceptions regarding digital currencies and NFTs.
Kwang-jae cannot receive more than $8,420, or 10 million Korean won, as crypto donations are still being accepted. Sponsors can only give digital assets worth no more than $842.
Growing Criticism of Korea’s Crypto Regulations
Kwang-jae’s plan to accept cryptocurrency donations is a result of increased regulatory pressure from the South Korean government.
The lawmaker’s decision not to accept cryptocurrency donations comes amid reports that local stakeholders have intensified their criticisms of financial watchdogs.
Stakeholders criticize Korea’s strict regulations. They claim that this regulatory regime will prevent Korea from being a leader in the emerging financial sector.

A grant proposal is a formal and detailed request for access to funds. The funds may come from a variety of sources - either the government or other private institutions. A grant is a means by which the government or another institution offers financial assistance to individuals or other organizations with the aim of using the money for a specific project. Depending on the organization offering the grant, the topic and scope of the project varies widely.
The specific details regarding the application for a grant also depends on the organization offering the funding. In some cases, one only has to initially fill out an application form to determine if the project is qualified for a grant. In many cases, though, the applicant has to submit a full grant proposal, which outlines the project together with the possible costs involved. Funding organizations usually have a document called a Request for Proposal, which will tell applicants exactly what is needed to submit a grant proposal.
Some salient points that have to be included in most grant proposals are:
- A cover letter which will serve as a summary for the entire grant proposal
- An outline of the needs and goals of the project
- A detailed plan of action, including costs.
Writing a grant proposal is a skill and usually requires experienced people in the field. There are professional grant writers offering their services to people who want to apply for a grant. In most cases, it is better to take on their services to ensure that your grant proposal is well-written, which only help increase your chances of getting a grant.

This text has been proofread to a low degree of accuracy. It was converted to electronic form using data entry.
BORELLI, GIOVANNI ALFONSO(b. Naples, Italy,
January 1608; d. Rome, Italy, 31 December 1679),
astronomy, epidemiology, mathematics, physiology
(iatromechanics), physics, volcanology.
1674, she launched her Accademia Reale. Borelli
appeared twice before it in 1675—in February when
he spoke on the construction of the triremes of the
ancients and again in April when he discussed Etna,
this time including considerations resulting from a
climb to the rim of the volcano in 1671. Christina
also patronized another, more scientific group, known
variously as the Accademia dell'Esperienza or the
Accademia Fisica-matematica. It was organized in
July of 1677 under the leadership of Giovanni
Giustino Ciampini, who was also connected with the
Giornale de' Letterati. Its membership included Borelli
and an old friend and disciple, Lucantonio Porzio.
But recognition apparently did not entail too much
tangible support, and Borelli began to look farther
afield for that. Cassini had been in Paris for several
years and had become a member of the Royal Academy
of Sciences. In 1676 Borelli wrote him complaining
of the extreme circumstances to which he had
been reduced by his enemies and the lack of quiet
which was interfering with the completion of his
works; he hinted that he too would like to serve the
Most Christian King. By February 1677, negotiations
were under way. A year later he had hopeful news,
but he wrote that he was too old to travel to Paris.
Instead he would send his work on the motion of
animals to be printed there with a dedication to the
king. In May of 1678 he still hoped for his election
to the Royal Academy, but since he did not wish to
trust his only copy of De motu animalium to the mails,
he wrote that he needed time to have another made.
Actually it is unlikely that he ever was elected to
the Academy. A short time previously he had been
robbed of all his possessions by a servant. Lacking
adequate means, he had accepted the hospitality of
the fathers of the Casa di S. Pantaleo and had entered
their house on 13 September 1677. For the last two
years of his life he taught mathematics at its Scuole
Pie. Apparently he never sent a copy of his manuscript
to Paris. Then in late 1679 Queen Christina
agreed to bear the printing costs and Borelli dedicated
the De motu animalium to her. He died in December,
however, and his benefactor at the convent,
P. Giovanni di Gesù, accepted the responsibility of
seeing this last and most important work through the
press. Volume I, treating of external motions, or the
motions produced by the muscles, appeared in 1680.
Volume II, dealing with internal motions, such as the
movements of the muscles themselves, circulation,
respiration, the secretion of fluids, and nervous activity,
appeared in late 1681. A simple stone in the wall
of the Church of S. Pantaleo recalls: Joh. Alphonso
Borellio, neapolitano, philosopho medico et
matematico, clarissimo, . . .
I. ORIGINAL WORKS.
Borelli's major writings are

The collections of the libraries of Florence, especially
the Galileiana of the Biblioteca Nazionale, contain a great
deal of unpublished correspondence to, from, and relating
to Borelli. Other Italian libraries, and perhaps French and
English ones, must still have a great deal of unrecognized

Cotton Bowl over/under drops further
The total in tonight's Cotton Bowl between Michigan State and Alabama continues to drop well ahead of the 8:00PM ET kickoff.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the over/under is now sitting at 45 points after the number opened at 49. The side has also moved since it opened, as Alabama went from -8.5 up to a 10-point favorite.
There was some movement early this week in favor of Michigan State, as the line went from 10 down to 9.5. But the spread climbed back to 10 despite 65% of public wagers currently backing the Spartans at the betting window.
Despite the number opening in the high 40s (which is low for college games), it's not surprising to see the total continue to drop. Alabama has the No. 2 ranked defense in the nation, holding opponents to just 258.1 yards per game while surrendering just 14.4 points per contest. The Crimson Tide has owns the top-ranked run defense in college football this season, allowing just 74.0 yards per game on the ground.
The Spartans rank only 74th in passing yards allowed this season (229.8), but is excellent in every other defensive category. Michigan State is 23rd in total yards allowed (342.9), ninth in rushing yards allowed (113.1), and 21st in points allowed (20.5). Sparty will need to be stout tonight against the run in order to limit the impact of Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry.

1. How did you come up with your stage name and tag line? Does it have a special meaning to you?
The Chameleon Queen comes from having my friends not recognize me while performing under different characters from show to show, or even in the same one! I didn't want to limit myself as a performer. Having the Chameleon Queen as an umbrella name for a small cast of characters gives me the opportunity to explore different personas and genders. As for the tag line: "I can do anything!" It stems Jim Morrison's calling himself the Lizard King.
2. How did you get started in burlesque?
We got lost going to the first audition, so I rang up the group to let them know. They were kind enough to schedule one just for me. I rang three times to verify...nary a return. An ex-boyfriend told me about another one. So, I went with his girlfriend-at-the-time to Big City Burlesque's auditions. She got in, which was great! I was happy for
|Photo by Marc Turnley
The director asked me to give the fan dance a go. He handed me the fans and said that he'd play the music till I was ready. Now, having tried to get to the first audition without success my thought was: what have I got to loose?! I turned to him and said: Turn on the music, give me the fans, let's go.
Years late while telling this story, he was there. I thought I had gotten the part about half way through the song. He stepped in and said that no, it was mine when I said let's go.
3. What has been your best moment as a performer so far?
There are actually two, but they are similar. The first was a gig in Asheville, NC for a charitable event. I had performed the first blue fan dance to "Lament." And after an fellow came rushing back to speak with me. He said that he got what I was doing. It left me a bit bewildered, until he gave an explanation. He saw that my performance wasn't just a fan dance, but a shamanistic expression. That was at a time when I spoke very little of my point of view on sacred performance. So, my jaw pretty much hit the floor. A total stranger understood. Somehow my beliefs in art showed through.
The second time, was my first fan dance with the white Sally Rands, a beautiful string arrangement of "Someone to Watch Over Me." It was for my Grandma Brake who had breast cancer, and the show was a breast cancer benefit. My friend Oscar came running back stage out of breath and said, "I get it! I get it!! She's watching over you! You are watching over us!" Needless to say, but the tears that I was already fighting to hold back broke through.
|Photo by Moonbird Design
Mainly, I adore fan dances. But, "The Monster" piece that combined burlesque and stunt work is up in the tops.
5. What is your burlesque dream show?
A large scale old fashioned Christmas variety show, like "White Christmas." Giving the joy that we had as children to others when the season is so fraught with stress and worry. Something that when it's thought about, a tune whistled from it ...that afterglow of happiness lingers.
6. Where do you see your self in the next five years?
Still performing, teaching, reaching out into other artistic media, and learning.
7. Tell us something outside of burlesque that you are involved or interested in.
Pit Bull rescue and advocacy. I've my own Pit mixes, The Greer Boys, Sophocles and Herman Munster. They've been my inspiration to do what I can: perform, donate, rescue, write letters...whatever I can do to help Pit Bulls just be recognized for the beautiful, loyal, and fine dogs they are.
8. What do you think is your greatest skill, not including burlesque?
|Photo by Kevin O'Connell
This is a tough one...perhaps connecting good people for everything from performances to philanthropic endeavors.
9. What are you most looking forward to this year as a burlesque performer? As a civilian?
New and exciting collaborations! Mystery and history are on the horizon!
As just me, more opportunities to dance and do stunt work; marching in the PRIDE parade with Angel Action Atlanta, the Pit Bull Candlelight Vigil, just being able to do good things.
10. Who is your favorite performer to watch?
This is not a one person answer at all! My favorite legend is Kalantan. Her movements are beautifully hypnotizing, very serpentine. She's not well documented sadly, but I've been able to find her on Something Weird videos, Pinky Shear found her under Adele the Petite Parisian, and she danced in one of the Sinbad films.
Sally Rand for fans, she is my idol and muse after all! Toni Elling brought me to tears at BHOF in '07 with her graceful walk and mink peel.
And honestly, I tear up watching my students...my burlesque daughters. It is pure joy to watch each one of them take wing.

A pop-up camera that rotates and keeps your face in the frame will come standard with HP’s latest 11-Inch Windows tablet, the PC maker announced Tuesday. The 13-megapixel shooter, which HP calls a “glam cam,” should help you videoconference and snap selfies in style.
Unveiled as part of the company’s fall product lineup, the new tablet is one of just a handful of consumer-oriented Windows tablets on the market. With an 11-inch diagonal screen and an Intel Pentium silver processor, the tablet is similar to Microsoft’s entry-level Surface Go 2 tablet, and is slated to go on sale in December for a palatable $499 starting price (keyboard not included).
That’s quite a bargain if you’re on the hunt for a Windows-powered tablet that shoots great video. And it’s not just for making you look good. HP says that when you set up the tablet on your desk using the included kickstand, you can pop the camera up and rotate it to show everyone on the call what’s on your desk. The camera even has automatic keystone correction, which kicks in to make the viewable area a rectangle no matter how angled it is.
Other than the slick camera, the rest of the 11-inch tablet’s specs are relatively pedestrian. They include up to 4GB of memory, up to 128GB of solid-state storage, and just a single USB-C port for charging and connecting peripherals. Still, the design is reasonably high-end, with the tablet itself made of anodized silver aluminum and a fabric coating for both the integrated kickstand and the back of the optional keyboard cover.
Spectre x360 16: Thwarting the Shoulder Snoopers
Bargain hunters in search of a tablet that shows them in their best light aren’t the only ones who might like HP’s fall lineup. At the upper end of the market, the company teased a sleek new Spectre x360 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a gorgeous 16-inch OLED screen and a few camera tricks of its own.
The Spectre x360 16’s camera doesn’t pop up or rotate, but it does have some other advanced features that you won’t find on other consumer laptops. Using HP's GlamCam app, the Spectre’s 5-megapixel camera will automatically correct lighting conditions and even keep your face in the frame when you move around.
The face-framing feature is similar to the Center Stage feature Apple introduced earlier this year on its flagship iPad Pro tablet. HP says its face-tracking technology can serve other purposes, too, including detecting when you look away from the laptop to dim the screen and save battery life. The new camera will also be able to detect when someone is taking a peek at your screen over your shoulder, and trigger a pop-up alert.
Besides the innovative camera, the new 16-inch Spectre x360 16 is the latest member of HP’s flagship laptop family to have its display grow by an inch, following the introduction of the highly acclaimed 14-inch model earlier this year. It’s likely that they’ll eventually supplant the 13-inch and 15-inch Spectre x360 laptops in HP’s lineup. The 16-inch screen has a 3K resolution, which works out to 3,072-by-1,920 pixels.
Inside, you’ll be able to configure the new laptop with an Intel H-series Core i7 from the latest Tiger Lake generation, as well as an optional Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. Despite the large screen and the serious power of these available processors, the Spectre x360 16 is still relatively thin and light at 4.5 pounds. It will start at $1,639 when it goes on sale next month.
New Ultra-Wide Envy 34 AIO
HP’s flagship all-in-one desktop PC, the Envy, is also getting an improved camera this fall. The new 34-inch Envy 34 AIO will come with a magnetically attached webcam that you can position as you see fit. The camera resembles standalone webcams sold by Logitech, Dell, and others, but it easily snaps into place on the Envy 34’s upper display bezel, and matches the AIO’s sleek silver finish.
The 16-megapixel shooter also has IR sensors for Windows Hello face recognition, as well as dual-array digital microphones. One potential downside, however, is that it must be connected to the PC via an external wired connection, potentially adding clutter to your desk.
Recommended by Our Editors
While HP introduced a new 32-inch Envy 32 AIO last year to critical acclaim, focusing on audio performance, it hasn’t updated the larger 34-inch model in a few years. Besides the new camera, the Envy 34’s signature feature is its ultra-wide format. The PC’s screen measures 5,120-b7-2,160 pixels and is rated to display 98% of the P3 color gamut, though it lacks touch support.
Inside, you’ll be able to configure the new AIO with a desktop-class Intel Core i7-11700 (many AIOs use less powerful processors meant for laptops in order to eliminate bulky cooling components). Coupled with up to 32GB of memory, there should be more than enough power for many types of content creation, and in fact HP claims that the Envy 34 outperforms Apple’s M1-powered iMac by up to 50% on common tasks in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Expect to shell out at least $2,000 for the Envy 34 when it goes on sale in October.
HP Plans First Snapdragon Windows 11 PC
If that doesn’t fit your budget, HP is also refreshing its mainstream all-in-one PCs. Available in a 27-inch screen size, the new HP Pavilion 27 AIO will start at $749 and offer an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor with 1TB of storage. While still plenty powerful for everyday tasks, the U-series Ryzen is intended for use in laptops and doesn’t offer enough power to run some CPU-intensive workflows. And the 1TB drive is a spinning platter, with no option for a far superior SSD.
HP is rounding out its AIO refresh with some minor updates to the entry-level HP AIO models, available in either 24-inch or 27-inch versions. They’ll start at just $500. The company also teased new 32-inch and 34-inch monitors with 4K or curved WQHD panels, respectively, as well as a new HP 14 laptop that will be the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c laptop to ship from the factory with Microsoft’s new Windows 11 operating system; the PC and new OS arrive in October.

I met him for the first time in a disability centre where he had been living for some period of time. Perhaps, he had been there longer than my time, until then, walking on this earth. I would soon start my Australian university and my English was in its early stage. It so happened that my dormitory was in the same establishment as he lived. From his age, he could be my father but that, along with our language barrier, did not prevent us from connecting to each other.
During his teen, his parents emigrated from Holland to Australia and brought him with them. One day, when he had grown into a sturdy young man, he had a fight which, sadly, resulted in his spinal injury. It rendered him invalid and confined him to wheelchair for the rest of his life.
He shook my hand for the first time from his wheelchair. Our shaking hands were not perfect. The guys that fought him not only had broken his spine but also his fingers. But we shook hands nonetheless.
Whenever I wanted to chat with him, I just walked to his ward. But it was rare to find him in there. He was always busy with his own things around the centre. Sometimes, he spent his afternoon painting on another floor of the building. No, he did not paint with his fingers. He painted with his mouth. Before he got the accident he loved to paint, with his hands. Now he should use whatever things that could help him channel his artistic force. He did not tell me why he chose his mouth instead of other parts of his body. True, his paintings may not as good as professional artists’ but I have to admit that I, or other occasional painters, can not produce paintings as impressive as his. And consider that it was his mouth that produced those paintings as such.
Once, I saw a newspaper clipping that featured him talking to students and showing them his mouth-painting ability.
His other hobby is amateur radio. Several times, I helped him locate channels where he would talk to his on-air mates. Once, he called me urgently to come to his ward because he got connection to a man in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, and asked me to talk to him in Indonesian. It seemed that he knew that it brought me joy if I talked in Indonesian; that perhaps I was homesick and that perhaps would help me in some way.
He loved talking about Indonesia, a place he had never been to. On his wall, he hanged several postcards picturing Indonesian girls. As far as the girls are concerned, he and I were no difference. I knew that. Looking at those postcards, sometimes, I thought of him and the way he had been controlling all his desire. Male primitive desires actually. And I think this is another kind of suffering that while you have perfectly normal sexual desires, your circumstances deny you of this earthly pleasures.
However, one thing that he has touched my life is his spirit of living. I will never forget on one fine day during the spring when we talked in the lawn about his hope of recovery. He said:
“If came a doctor and told me that he could operate me but the chance is only 10 %, or even lower, I would take it, as long as there is any hope that I can walk again.”
At the beginning, I assumed he said that because he had suffered so much that he would prefer to die. That it was perhaps a good camouflage for committing suicide. But I was totally wrong. As time went by, I realised that this is the man who loves to live. He often talked about how he wanted to live forever here on this earth, a paradisiacal earth where no more sickness, suffering and even death. A paradise where he certainly will walk again. He did not keep this hope to himself. I often saw him share his hope to people around him even call them in their homes, direct with his wheelchair.
At the end of my study, I came to say goodbye to him. He gave me one of his paintings. It is a naturalist one: a typical Australian outback farmhouse with a river runs through at the back. The river is clear, like the sky above it, that the shadow of the house reflected on its surface. By the river bank, a small boat is tied. In the sky, birds are flying.
The painting is still hanging on the wall in my study. Whenever I feel down and tired with life, I just lift my head and look at the painting and once again the painter’s spirit of living lifts mine.

Anxiety screenings could become a routine part of healthcare
US Task Force on Preventive Services recommends regular anxiety screenings for adults under 65
With the increase in the percentage of people suffering from mental health problems, it is becoming clear that there needs to be a better way to identify patients who are suffering and get them help earlier, before what causes them. disturbs from becoming a real mental health crisis. .
As such, the US Task Force on Preventive Services, a voluntary group of national experts in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine, now recommends that these screenings become the standard of care going forward.
“The U.S. Task Force on Preventive Services invites input on a draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review on screening adults for anxiety. The task force has determined that screening can help to identify anxiety in adults under 65, including those who are pregnant and postpartum,” the group wrote on Tuesday.
This follows a statement from the US Task Force on Preventive Services made in April, in which it recommended the same for children 8 and older.
The reason given for not recommending regular screenings for anxiety in adults over 65 at this time is that “more research is needed to recommend whether or not to recommend screening for anxiety” in this age group. .
The draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review are available for public review and comment until October 17.
Established in 1984, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is made up of members from the fields of preventive medicine and primary care, including internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, obstetrics and gynecology and nursing. Their recommendations are intended to help primary care clinicians and patients decide together whether a preventive service is appropriate for a patient’s needs, and the task force presents an annual report to Congress that identifies evidence gaps in the research related to preventive clinical services and recommends priority areas that merit further investigation.
The group’s statement does not go into further detail on what these screenings might look like, how they would be administered or who would administer them, although they would presumably be part of regular primary health check-ups, through the use of the GAD-Sept.
This comes as the primary care physician-patient relationship evolves and fewer people develop a long-term relationship with a primary care physician: More than 70% of Americans had a primary care physician in 2002 vs. 64% in 2015. If there is no longer a need for a primary care physician, who will be the gateway to a person’s health care journey?
This is especially true for young people: while 84% of baby boomers have a primary care physician, this is the case for 67% of millennials and only 55% of Gen Zers.
Mental health issues were already on the rise before COVID, with almost 20% of adults, or almost 50 million Americans, already suffering from some form of mental illness, and there was already a growing problem among young people too with more than 1 in 3 high school students experiencing lingering feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2019, a 40% increase in 10 years. During the same period, there was a 44% increase in the number of young people who reported having made a suicide plan.
The pandemic and its aftermath have exacerbated the situation; according to the World Health Organization, the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has also been an increase in substance abuse problems with 99,000 people dying from drug overdoses in the first full year of the pandemic in the United States, an increase of almost 30% compared to the last year. Even cigarette sales increased in the first 10 months of 2020, after an annual decline of between 4% and 5% since 2015.

Pregnancy Tests: FSA Eligibility
No prescription required.
Under IRC 213(d)(1), "medical care includes amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body." This includes medical equipment and devices.
What are pregnancy tests?
A pregnancy test is a take-home test that reads the urine's concentration of human Chorionic Gondotrophin, or HCG. HCG is a hormone that is produced when a woman becomes pregnant, and it reaches its highest concentration between weeks 8 to 11 of pregnancy. HCG levels subsequently drop around weeks 12 and 16. False negatives are more likely to occur in a pregnancy test, as opposed to a false positive. A pregnancy test is most accurate when taken on the first day of a missed period. Excessive fluid intake (too much water, etc.) can dilute the individual's urine to the point that HCG levels become difficult to read by the pregnancy test. This would produce a false negative, for example, in some situations.
A woman who is taking fertility medications may produce a false positive result with a home pregnancy test due to the presence of HCG in many fertility medications. However, most medications including antibiotics will not affect the results of a home pregnancy test (American Pregnancy Association).
Pregnancy tests can be sold as digital versions that provide a result in words and electronic indicators that show that the test is working, in order to reduce confusion resulting from non-digital pregnancy tests wherein it may be difficult to tell if the test has been properly used.

1994 Mazda b2300 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 250000 miles
I have had this truck for about 7 months. At first the clutch seemed very touchy, then about 3 months ago I would be shifting and the pedal would loose all pressure. I would then take it out of gear and let up on the pedal until pressure built up. It would then shift fine. Now the pedal has hardly any pressure. I can let it out and the engine does not die in gear. It stutters and slips when accelerating until I get it about 4 or 5 thousand rpms then it catches fine. I am wondering if this signifies a bad clutch or maybe cylinder issues. Thanks.

Suit yourself: The top times women opted for power tailoring for the Emmys
From Joan Rivers to Sandra Oh.
By Ella Sangster
WHEN IT COMES to awards shows, you can pretty much guarantee a host of resplendent gowns will grace the red carpet. Be it a voluminous, regency ballgown or a sleek, chic number, show after show, the stars come out in force in their designer dresses.
However, every once in a while we see Hollywood’s leading ladies buck tradition, ditching the opulent gowns in favour of sharp tailoring and power suits — and the Emmys is no exception.
In celebration of the 2022 Emmy Awards (in particular, Sandra Oh’s dashing purple pantsuit) we are looking back at some of the most memorable times women wore suits for the Emmys.

The Baths of Caracalla were the second largest Roman public baths, or thermae, in Rome. It was built between AD 212 and 217, during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They would have had to install over 2,000t of material every day for six years in order to complete it in this time.
The baths remained in use until the 6th century when the complex was taken by the Ostrogoths during the Gothic War, at which time the hydraulic installations were destroyed. The bath was free and open to the public. The earthquake of 847 destroyed much of the building, along with many other Roman structures.
The building was heated by a hypocaust, a system of burning coal and wood underneath the ground to heat water provided by a dedicated aqueduct. It was in use up to the 19th century. The Aqua Antoniniana aqueduct, a branch of the earlier Aqua Marcia, by Caracalla was specifically built to serve the baths. It was most likely reconstructed by Garbrecht and Manderscheid to its current place.
In the 19th and early 20th century, the design of the baths was used as the inspiration for several modern structures, including St George's Hall in Liverpool and the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City. At the 1960 Summer Olympics, the venue hosted the gymnastics events.References:
The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument. The architect was Henry Bacon and the designer of the primary statue was Daniel Chester French.
Dedicated in 1922, it is one of several monuments built to honor an American president. It has always been a major tourist attraction and since the 1930s has been a symbolic center focused on race relations.
The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, 'The Gettysburg Address' and his 'Second Inaugural Address'. The memorial has been the site of many famous speeches, including Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, during the rally at the end of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Since 2010, approximately 6 million people visit the memorial annually.

San Francisco public health officials today warned about the possible spread of the mosquito-borne West Nile virus after a dead bird infected with the virus was found recently near City College of San Francisco, the third virus-positive bird since 2007.
While no human cases of the virus have been reported in the city since 2005, the infected bird indicates that the disease is present at the start of the city’s warm weather season, when mosquitoes tend to breed in stagnant water, according to the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
“San Franciscans will be at risk for West Nile during the summer and fall when mosquito activity is at its peak,” said Dr. Rajiv Bhatia, the agency’s medical director for environmental health.
“West Nile virus is preventable and it takes all of us working together to continue to keep ourselves and our families protected,” Bhatia said.
As of Tuesday, 126 cases of West Nile Virus infection were reported in California this year, with six cases resulting in death. In the U.S., 3,142 people have caught the virus so far in 2012 and 134 have died, the highest number of recorded cases since 2003, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
A coalition of San Francisco government agencies, including the Public Utilities Commission and the departments of environment, public works and public health, are urging residents to eliminate standing water from storm drains, water basins, ornamental ponds, lawns, bird baths, wading pools and leaking pipes to limit mosquito breeding.
Mosquito bites, which inject the disease into humans, may be avoided by wearing long pants and shirts, using repellants on exposed skin and placing screens on windows, public health officials said.
People over age 50 and those with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to the virus. People suffering from a fever and headache for more than seven days may have the virus and should seek treatment, said Dr. Tomas Aragon, health officer for the city and county of San Francisco.
“We are once again asking San Franciscans to be vigilant about mosquitoes and mosquito bite prevention,” Aragon said “Like sunburn, West Nile virus is completely preventable. A little prevention goes a long way.”
Residents who discover significant mosquito activity should report it to public health officials by calling 311. Those who find a dead bird are urged to notify the state of California at 1-877-WNV-BIRD.

If Golden, Colorado, hiking isn’t already on your bucket list, it may be time to add it. Between the gorgeous mountain vistas and natural seclusion that Golden’s trails have to offer, hiking here has the potential to change your view of the world – literally.
Stroll Close By
Listen to the flow of the water beside you and the leaves crunching beneath your feet as you make your way along Clear Creek Trail, an easy, paved, two-mile excursion along the creek and underneath shady trees. It runs through the heart of historic downtown Golden and provides a natural oasis to hikers, bikers, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and strollers. The Peaks to Plains Trail is also a paved 1.75-mile trail that connects downtown Golden to Tunnel 1 along US Hwy 6 through Clear Creek Canyon Park.
Golden’s city and recreational parks let you enjoy the natural surroundings of Golden without ever having to leave downtown. The city has plenty of parks and sports complexes with over 250 acres of green space and trails for you and the family to stroll together and soak up the fresh mountain air.
Meander up the Mesa
For more of a vertical adventure, hike one of the moderately challenging trails of North Table Mountain to the top of the mesa the shorter way or take in the panoramic views with a longer hike to the top. Avid climbers will love the Golden Cliffs Trail for its rocky terrain and challenging climbing routes. It’s also ideal for those who want to enjoy a shorter hike.
Whichever North Table Mountain trail you choose, you're sure to be rewarded with breathtaking views of the mountainsides and the terrain far below. Parts of the mountain are closed during the spring season for wildlife protection, but most trails remain open year-round.
Hike or bike South Table Mountain to experience more than 13 miles of trails and the beauty of the Front Range. Only minutes from downtown Golden, South Table Mountain is perfect for a day spent adventuring, soaking up the panoramic views, and observing local wildlife.
Hike & Discover Prehistoric Gems
Designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service, the Triceratops Trail is a family-friendly gravel hike that spans 1.5 miles. While hiking this trail, considered an outdoor museum and open year-round, imagine what life might have been like millions of years ago as you take in the scenic sights along the trail’s sandstone walls and surroundings.
Stops along the hike include a look at clay mining and traces and tracks from prehistoric invertebrates, dinosaurs, and other animals that left quite the impression.
The City of Golden offers an extensive and interconnected trail system of 24 miles, providing diversity in both types of trail experience and destinations, and a haven for fossil and dinosaur-lovers.
A Hiker’s Dream
One of the best places to hike in Golden, CO, is Golden Gate Canyon State Park, the most diverse and expansive option in town. With 35 miles of trails spanning 12,000 acres, the park is a hiker and wildlife watcher’s dream. Come when the aspen tree groves light up in golden hues during the fall months or when its wildflowers bloom to life in the spring. During the early summer, the whole park turns green with verdant life, and in the winter, it becomes a winter wonderland for lovers of cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.
There are many hiking options in Golden for every skill level and desired challenge most any time of year. Before any hiking adventure, bring comfortable shoes and a sense of adventure – and we’ll see you at the top.

Our cherry tree has no leaves or fruit this year. The Apple tree next to it has very few leaves on it. Some are curling, brown and very few healthy leaves on bottom of tree. We have an espalier of three apple trees after the cherry tree. The cherry tree had flat type mushrooms on trunk this spring. The second Apple tree is better and the third is the best in terms of leaves. It does not look like any will produce fruit and we had many last year. We are in zone 3 (manitoba)and soil is more clay. The buds on cherry tree are brown. All trees are about 8 years old and have done fine until now. They are in sunny location and get as much water as garden. Thank you.
Unfortunately, fungus or mushrooms on or around your cherry tree often indicate fungal infection which can lead to root and crown rot. Stone fruit trees such as cherry trees are venerable to infection by a variety of fungi which can spread to other trees. Root and crown rot diseases result from a fungus-like organism that is present in most soils. It only infects the tree if the moisture level of the soil is very high, like when the tree grows in standing water.
Symptoms of rot diseases include slowed growth, discolored leaves that wilt quickly in hot weather, dieback and sudden plant death as well as buds turning brown. This is one of the worst cherry tree diseases. Once a cherry tree has a rot disease, there is no cure. However, rot diseases of cherry trees can generally be prevented by making sure the soil drains well and regulating irrigation.
You may be able to save the tree with careful pruning of debris, and applying an approved fungicidal spray but your best defense is probably to remove the tree before it spreads any further. For more in depth information here are some websites:

The following is an excerpt from my new book Songs of Dreams and Creativity which can be purchased here. It contains 50 poems about imagination, dreams, inspiration and how we walk between the worlds of our mind and reality.
The Girl Who Called the Wind The girl awoke to the sound of rain on the roof. Most days she’d celebrate with a good book and cup of tea, but today was not most days. There were a lot of special things planned and she couldn’t have the rain ruining it. Before she even began her morning routine she headed outside, looked to the sky, and recited the tale of the old man bumping his head. When that failed to send the rain away she beguiled the droplets with the legend of the climbing spider. Still the rain slipped through the slits of dark clouds above. She asked the rain one last time, as politely as she could, to please leave her be and let her have this day. When the rain refused to pay her any heed no matter how hard she’d plead she realized if she can’t make the rain stop she’ll send the clouds away. The girl looked to the east, where she knew the storms grew, and with all the charm and elegance she could muster she asked the winds to blow. At first the rain seemed to fall harder, but soon a light breeze tickled the tiny hairs on her skin. Then the winds roared shaking the trees and all their leaves. Now the rain was falling horizontal and those duplicitous dark clouds continued to linger. Now the girl asked the winds once more to clear the clouds from the sky and make the rain go away. The winds answered with a howl but the clouds failed to part. The girl asked the winds to depart but they decided staying would be more fun. So, the girl turned towards the sun and said, “Even though I can’t see you I know you never leave. Please shine with all your might to send the clouds, rain, and winds away.” Then it appeared. A crack in the clouds with soft golden rays cutting through the rainy haze. Slowly the crack spread and the clouds disappeared. The winds retreated to the east. The sun was here to reign and he’d brought along his friend the rainbow to clear away the mess and brighten, at least, one girl’s day.

Renault recalls some Zoe EVsComments
By Euronews with REUTERS
Renault is recalling 10,649 of its Zoe electric vehicles.
The French carmaker said it was a preventative move to check brake fluid hoses that could rupture. They will be replaced if necessary.
It does not believe the fault had caused any accidents.
The recall affects about a quarter of all Zoes and covers models built between their launch in 2012 and October 2014.
A majority of them have been sold in France.
Renault has invested more than most other manufacturers in battery powered cars, but sales still lag far behind conventional vehicles.

Brazil legend Ronaldo does not believe Neymar lived up to expectations at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and said his long spell on the sidelines in the buildup to the tournament adversely impacted his performances.
The Paris Saint-Germain star missed the last three months of the club season due to a foot injury, and two-time World Cup winner Ronaldo believes Neymar was not able to play to his best as a result, per Jaime Alvarado Rios of Sport:
"We all expected more from him because he's the star of the team. I don't know if it was because of the operation he had on his foot or another problem, but I saw him as quite limited on the pitch. To arrive at a World Cup following an operation and three months out is complicated. To play the first match as if nothing had happened is difficult.
"He needs to learn from this World Cup. He's 25 or 26. He's young, talented and there's a lot of responsibility on his shoulders."
Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage by Belgium after going into the tournament in Russia as favourites.
Neymar, 26, netted two goals and provided one assist in 450 minutes of action but was unable to find a late equaliser in Brazil's 2-1 defeat to the Red Devils.
He was widely expected to be one of the star players at the tournament, but he made headlines for spending time on the floor more than making telling contributions with the ball at his feet:
Per Sport, Ronaldo commented on Neymar's propensity for play-acting: "I spoke with him about this a while ago. Five years ago I asked him why he did it, and he told me it was so the person fouling him couldn't do more damage."
Five-time World Cup winners, Brazil have now failed to make it to a final since the last time they won the tournament in 2002.
France booked their spot in the 2018 final by beating Belgium on Tuesday, and England play Croatia in the second semi-final on Wednesday.

Piano Lessons and Sheet Music
Sympathy for the Devil
This week irocku is living up to its namesake by bringing back the legendary rockers, The Rolling Stones. After 5 decades of hits from 29 studio albums, it is hard to imagine a body of work more extensive and evolutionary then that of our featured artists. Read more»
The fact is, The Stones are the last band standing and the greatest ever because they have always played music that was influenced and sculpted by the political and cultural forces of their time. With that in mind, this weeks' song, Sympathy for the Devil is a perfect reflection of what was happening in the tumultuous year in which it was spawned. Released in December, 1968 as the first track of the Beggars Banquet album, Sympathy for the Devil went on to become one of the greatest rock anthems of all-time. Lyrically, the song presents a history lesson on violence and evil, asking us to examine our own complicity in a society gone mad. By the end of 1968, violence was ripping society apart, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy had been assassinated, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was reeked by violence, a huge Anti-War Movement was in full swing and the Vietnam War was escalating out of control; the images of dead and dying soldiers glared from our television sets every night. The song was reality and its' hypnotic groove and primitive beat accented the listener's connection to the lyrics and held us captive in a pulsating dance with the devil. Beggars Banquet was a critical success and was the first of four consecutive great albums (Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St. are the other three) which elevated The Stones into the rock and roll stratosphere. The album marked a return to its' roots for the band and included several traditional blues compositions; but, Beggars Banquet is best known for two of the greatest rock anthems ever, Street Fighting Man and this week's classic tale from the dark side, Sympathy for the Devil.
Sympathy for the Devil has a syncopated 16th note rhythm pattern that is the signature of many Stone's songs. Practice this until you feel it. Once you feel the groove of this song it will become addictive.
Level 3: The quickest way to rock is by learning the Groove Chart! To help with improvising, practice the F major one-octave scale. Using the F scale you can solo over the Groove Chart if you choose.
First Week: Beginners practice the Lesson. Intermediate and Advanced students practice the Groove Chart and the Lesson.
Second Week: Add the Exercise and Improvisation to your practice. Don't be shy to play with the improv and make the licks personal by changing bits and pieces to fit what you want. This is a real rocker, so try to get into the physicality of the music. Don't be shy to hit the piano, make it shake!

I wrote this bit of prose just before I flew to Oahu and Mouna Farm:
like a monarch/sensing home/i let the current/lift and carry me/across the ocean/on the winds of change
I like that I am eternally optimistic, always open to possibility. I’ve had many adventures by hoping and believing the best of situations and people. Those adventures have sometimes included disappointments and heartache, and that’s okay. That’s the full spectrum of living out this human experience. In this 3-D reality I can’t control everything that happens, but I AM free to create my own story out of it all.
As I grow in my self mastery, I more often feel a calm assurance that my path is right and it’s leading me home. I’ve still got a lot to learn about the finer nuances, and so I falter and need to course correct, but that’s no longer so upsetting, because I’m loving and trusting myself more. I’m becoming more at home within. And I know that the potential blessings that life holds for me are as abundant as ever.
It felt good to spread my wings and fly to Hawaii. I enjoyed connecting with Sooriya’s village, and lending a hand. It was nice to disconnect from my usual business. I resonated with the farm’s vision to find connection through inner silence, the arts and nature. My time with Peter was fun and fruitful. I enjoyed exploring the creative energy and potential there, providing the tools for others to access their creativity, and learning about new creative modalities, like Sooriya with his copper art and Aubrey with her amazing gong meditations. And swimming in the warm, clear ocean was bliss!
On the other hand, 85 degrees every day gets intense, having to either walk through the village to use the bathroom or just use a hose on the patio wore thin. That, combined with the dirt and bugs made wearing contacts especially challenging for me. The environment surrounding the farm often imposed it’s harshness through the sounds of sirens, dogs at the puppy mill, trapped feral goats and occasionally hogs being slaughtered. The junk yard on one side stacked abandoned vehicles against Mouna’s banana trees, and on the other side, a slit black tarp fence was the only barrier between the organic gardens and a conventional basil farm, being heavily doused with pesticides. Big earth and rock moving trucks rumbled by along the other edge of the property, starting early in the morning. It’s an environment that feels like home to Sooriya, who comes from Sri Lanka, but I don’t think I would choose to live there more than a couple weeks at a time, even with a personal bathroom.
Synchronicity brought Peter’s and my paths together, but not with long term potential.
And so this butterfly flits on~

Four days after a baby was found alive in a garbage bag behind a Jersey City apartment complex, the boy’s mother was arrested by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, Hudson County Acting Prosecutor Guy Gregory said.
Rosibel Christina Lanza, 39, of Kensington Avenue in ersey City, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and child abuse and is expected to make her first appearance in a Jersey City courtroom this afternoon, Gregory said.
Lanza was arrested late last night at her home by the Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, Gregory said. Authorities did not reveal if Lanza turned herself in or what led police to her.
Detectives believe Lanza gave birth to the baby boy in her home on Saturday, officials said. After birth, Lanza discarded the baby in a plastic shopping bag with paper towels and toilet paper and discarded the baby behind an apartment building at 30 Kensington Ave., Gregory said.
The baby, dubbed “Miracle Boy” and “Moses” by the Jersey City Medical Center nursing staff, was discovered around 3 p.m. on Saturday by boys playing in the back yard of the five-story apartment complex, officials said.
The baby was found inside of the garbage bag covered in blood with its umbilical cord still attached, officials said.
The boys rushed to tell the building superintendent, whose wife, Rebecca Womers, removed paper tissue from the boy’s mouth and began breathing into his mouth, police said.
The boy is still being treated at the Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit but “continues to be excellent” and is continuing to gain weight, hospital spokesman Mark Rabson said.
Gregory credited the Jersey City Police Department under the leadership of Acting Chief Joseph Connors and Director James Shea, whose agency assisted in the investigation.
