Choosing Genesis: a doctor’s choice for treatment
Friday, November 3, 2023
- Surgical Services, Cancer Care
In September 2023, Brandice Alexander, D.O., began her 13th year as a Fellowship-trained, Board-certified Trauma Surgeon at Genesis HealthCare System.
Only because she followed recommended colon cancer screening guidelines when prompted by her family physician. Two days after her colonoscopy, she received a call with the biopsy results that one of the two polyps found was cancerous.
Dr. Alexander’s mentor and colleague Stuart D. Chow, D.O., Fellowship-trained and Board-certified Trauma Surgeon at the Genesis Center for Surgical Excellence, performed her surgery. Shyamal R. Bastola, M.D., Fellowship-trained and Board-certified Hematologist/Oncologist at the Genesis Cancer Care Center, coordinated with her treatment. “I’d rather be treated close to home by people I know and trust,” she said. “If I thought for one second that my chance for recovery was better somewhere else, I would have gone there.”
Another factor in choosing Genesis was that Dr. Chow would perform her surgery robotically. “He was instrumental in getting our robotic program going,” she said. “We are far ahead of most hospitals.”
After her surgery, Dr. Alexander created a Facebook post. “I rarely post. However, I wanted all my friends and colleagues to see and share the message that cancer is treatable if you catch it early.”
There was one more call containing bad news. One of her lymph nodes was positive for cancer, and she needed chemo. “My Genesis family was phenomenal,” she said. “I received cards from Genesis President and CEO Matt Perry, and letters of encouragement from the entire hospital community.” She said that whoever designed the Cancer Care Center infusion suite, where rows of comfortable recliners overlook the Genesis Fitness Trail, is a genius. “Watching colleagues and people come and go was great therapy,” she said.
Eleven years ago, Dr. Alexander and her husband purchased a foreclosed property on an acre of land less than a mile from Genesis Hospital. They have a pair of St. Bernard littermates, Sophie and Finn, who endlessly entertain them with sibling squabbles.
When she gets home from work, Dr. Alexander does a walkabout of the yard and gardens with the dogs. “This year, I’ve been into propagating plants,” she said. “We love our backyard. It’s a good place to recharge.” A guitarist at her church, Dr. Alexander often plays in her gazebo or one of several seating areas.
Dr. Alexander says she is a glass-is-half-full kind of person. Now she uses her experience as a patient to reassure her patients. “I tell them, ‘I know you’re scared, but you need to know that there are six people in this surgery suite, and you are our only focus.’ I’ve been on the receiving end of that focus. The right people are in those positions.”

St. Paul, Minn. — Shortly after the jury walked into the courtroom, Judge Kathleen Gearin's law clerk read the verdict -- it found Harry Evans guilty of killing a peace officer, which carries an automatic life sentence.
The right side of the courtroom, where Vick's family and friends have sat throughout the trial, erupted in cheers, hugs, and sobbing. The judge banged her gavel to quiet the gallery. Harry Evans sat without emotion.
Afterwards, outside the courtroom, St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington trembled slightly, his eyes deep with emotion, that the verdict was bittersweet.
"My sense is that we were alternately relieved, and then there was a kind of a hollow feeling that said, 'It's over.' It sort of brings closure to it, but it's hard to picture it being over," said Harrington. "While the trial was going on, Jerry was alive in our lives every day. It is difficult to think of that coming to an end."
Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner said Evans' DNA evidence on the gun was key.
"Certainly the DNA on the gun was hard to argue with. And the fact that two people, a citizen, and Sgt. Vick's partner, saw the shooting -- or at least key parts of it, and could identify which of the two in the alley had done it. Put that all together with the DNA and I think that was compelling," said Gaertner.
Later in the afternoon, right before the judge imposed the sentence, members of Vick's family, friends and fellow officers read their victim impact statements. Some wore a red rose and white carnation on their lapels. The red symbolized their love for Vick, and the white that he was now at peace.
His mother told the court that she never thought she could hurt so badly, and that it was all senseless. Vick's sister said that her father died just 29 days after Vick's murder, and that the father no doubt died of a broken heart. A fellow officer told the court that he wished Minnesota had a death penalty.
On the left side of the courtroom, Evans' family members squirmed, and under their breaths said Evans had not received a fair trial. Evans looked over to them occasionally. When he stood before Judge Gearin, he said he felt sorry for the Vick family but that he was an innocent man.
Evans maintained that the state prosecuted the wrong man -- that he did not kill Vick. Instead, he claimed the state's main witness and Evans' companion that night, Antonio Kelly, did.
The defense also argued that Kelly fingered Evans to save himself. Kelly was granted immunity, and faces no charges in connection with the shooting.
After the sentencing, Evans' younger brother Davion Evans was furious, and could not hold back his outrage towards the court and the justice system.
"It's a tragedy what happened to officer Vick, but they acting like he's the only one who has family. My brother is sitting up here taking care of three kids, two of which are not his. Now how many men in America does that? Not no murderer," said Davion Evans.
In the end, one family felt it had received justice. For the other, the verdict only reinforced what they believed is an unjust legal system.

Leeds City Dentalcare places great emphasis on preventative dental care. This is not only due to the fact that it can make your natural teeth last longer, but also because of the links between dental health and general health. There have been numerous research studies carried out into these links, and it’s surprising just how many general health conditions are now associated with dental health and dentist Leeds could be the first to spot something is wrong. Our surgery has put together a list of the top general health conditions, and the way they could affect your dental health.
Diabetes has one of the most well documented links with oral health, in particular gum disease. If you notice your gums bleed when you brush or floss then it’s time to make an appointment to come and see Dr David Brown or another of our dentists for diagnosis and treatment. Ignoring these signs can increase the risk of diabetes, and may make this condition worse for people who have already being diagnosed as diabetic.
Anaemia is something that can be diagnosed by your dentist, as if your tongue is particularly pale that it could be an indication that you are deficient in iron. This condition affects 20% of women so it’s much more prevalent than you might think.
Coeliac disease is often accompanied by mouth sores or mouth ulcers. If you have persistent mouth ulcers then it is well worth making an appointment with our Leeds surgery to try to determine the exact reason, especially as undiagnosed coeliac disease can negatively affect your teeth and bones.
Eating disorders can have a detrimental effect on dental health, and it’s not uncommon for dentists to pick up on the early symptoms of these disorders. Anorexia often means that sufferers are malnourished and this is something that can lead to a condition called dry mouth which is where insufficient saliva is produced, or which can cause bleeding gums. Bulimia can cause huge damage to the teeth as the acid from the stomach attacks the tooth enamel causing erosion and dental decay.
Heart disease has been linked with periodontal disease or advanced gum disease, and the reason for this is that the open wounds created by gum disease allow plaque bacteria to enter the bloodstream. Gum disease is an inflammatory condition, and it’s thought these plaque bacteria are able to create inflammation in arteries, contributing towards heart disease.
Acid reflux is another very common problem which can damage the teeth due to the acids entering the mouth. It is also though that gastroesophageal reflux disease could increase the risk of oesophageal cancer due to the fact that it erodes the oesophagus.
Alzheimer’s disease has also been linked to gum disease, as it’s been found patients with this condition have more bacteria related to gum disease in their brains. The theory is that these bacteria could cause inflammation in the brain resulting in damage.
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that often causes dry mouth. This is where the mouth is unable to produce sufficient saliva to keep it clean and comfortable. If you think you may have dry mouth then it’s well worth talking to the dental team at Leeds City Dentalcare regarding cosmetic dentistry in Leeds as we have lots of suggestions on how to cope with this condition but that will not only help you feel more comfortable, but which will also help protect your dental health.

Jefferson Barns Community Center open for business
After a moving from the Dorsey Center last week, Westland’s Community Development Department staff was at the new Jefferson Barns Community Vitality Center Monday morning and ready for business.
“Most of the staff is unpacked and getting accustomed to the new building,” said Westland Community Development Director Joanne Campbell. “The phones and computers work. It’s very exciting really.”
Even as the building, a renovated former elementary school, officially opened for business there was still moving going on. The building is leasing space to Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency, which also had offices in the Dorsey Center.
“Wayne Metro delivered all their furniture and it’s in the hallway,” said Campbell.
Other occupants of the building like the Norwayne Boxing Gym have been fully operational for months. A youth camp was getting underway this week and youngsters, including groups from Hegira Services, have been giving the Jefferson Barns playground plenty of use.
Westland is renting the building, which closed as a school in 2010, from Wayne-Westland Schools for $1 annually. Located on Grand Traverse east of Venoy, the school educated Norwayne youngsters, children of parents working as part of the Arsenal of Democracy World War II effort.
The renovations of the building are funded through a loan from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development that will be repaid over 15 years through Community Development Block Grants funds.
Among the renovations to the building are installation of a wood floor in the gym – the wood was reclaimed from the closed Bailey Recreation Center.
Nankin Transit is set to relocate to Jefferson Barns in October. It will be moving from its current offices on Marquette.
“We’re waiting for the building trades to come back to school,” said Campbell, referring to the renovations that will be done by students from the William D. Ford Career Technical Center.
Mindful of the homes that border the JBCVC, Westland Mayor William Wild noted Nankin Transit received a grant to offset the costs for a fence to block the view of their buses and enhance security.
“I was born in Norwayne. I’m thrilled to see this former school building undergo a rebirth to the Jefferson Barns Community Vitality Center that will be the hub of community activity in the Norwayne neighborhood,” said Wild.
The center also contains a volunteer-run library and community rooms available for rentals for public and private events. The Westland Police Department will have an office at Jefferson Barns for community police officers and events.
“Jefferson Barns offers much more space than the Dorsey Center enabling multiple functions to exist under one roof,” said Campbell. “With the added space, the public has many more opportunities to use the center for community events, children’s activities and to offer a place for non-profit organizations and others to use.”
Safe Step/Beginning Step Communities will lease the vacated Dorsey Center. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous will continue to meet at the Dorsey Center
The Norwayne Community Citizens Council will host JBCVC’s first public event 6-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14 – the Home Front Victory national celebration, marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The city will hold an open house to celebrate the opening of the Jefferson Barns Community Vitality Center later in the year.

The Fourth annual edition of the philanthropic #TwimbosGivingHope Concert makes its major return tonight at the Roof Travel Plaza and many people are looking forward to an evening of great music performances in Harare.
A selection of the country’s best youth urban acts are set to perform at the event, with proceeds going to Kasipiti Children’s Home. Among them are the prolific Sharky, Chengeto Brown, Kikky, Mussa Effect, juggernaut rhymesayer Meyniak, Veryus (powerhouse that inhabits Mile, Marcqus, uBu, Verseless, Rue and Fluid), King Avry, Dj Slick Vic, Zviro Beast and Mystery.
Much of a late entry, Few Kings’ TEHN, who previously went by the name Tehn Diamond, is said to have confirmed that he will also be live in concert.
The 2017 edition will be hosted by none other than the incredible podcasting duo from Sadza In The Am Pod Nikki Titan and King Kandoro. Confirming the news, the duo’s posted on their twitter wall;
We are going to be hosting this year’s Twimbos Giving Hope Concert!😄Featuring a very dope line up of acts!
— SadzaintheMorning🍛 (@SadzaInTheAmPod) December 11, 2017
It is important to see what some of our favorite artists are doing on and off the stage, especially when it is in such a positive light. With music all around us, it seems only natural to use people’s love of music to do a little good.
The #TwimbosGivingHope project, was launched in December, 2014. Shingi Mangoma, a songtress and a member of TGH, speaking on it the year it was launched said that the initiative was “a voluntary charity association/group primarily based on our social media platform, Twitter.’
This project came about after one Twimbo (name given to Zimbabweans on twitter), Winston Manjengwa, (@AmBlujay) tweeted that Twimbos should adopt a charity for the festive season. This initiative is a positive project that is geared towards bringing the community closer together and helping out the less fortunate within Zimbabwe, especially in children homes.
This year’s #TwimbosGivingHope concert is made possible through collaboration between the organization, PPC, Carex, Sadza In The Morning, On The Roof and Hallelujah Mag.
We cannot wait to see all of these performers doing what they know best tonight. Admisssion to the concert is $5 only.
We will be there. Don’t miss out!

The leaves change colors, fall from the trees, and as they decorate the streets and sidewalks below it’s a sign that a new season is upon us. As the temperature drops and people seek out warmer places during the winter months, our door is open to provide hot meals and a warm place to stay to get comfort from the cold. Families arrive at The Salvation Army’s worship and service centers in search of a coat for their child, assistance with their electric or heating bills, a place to call home or simply shelter from a passing storm.
In Minnesota, the weather is nearly impossible to predict. It seems we’ve grown to expect the unexpected, but when you’re living paycheck to paycheck, it can be a challenge to make the adjustments needed to maintain a livable lifestyle. Once the snow flies and the temperature drops below freezing, without the help of The Salvation Army many people would have to sacrifice heating their homes to provide for other necessities of life, like food. It’s those types of difficult decisions that come with the change of seasons that causes many to give up one basic need for fear of losing another. It’s a tough spot when you have to sacrifice a necessity just to survive.
Yet during these tough times, God promises to give strength to the weary and power to the weak (Isaiah 40:29). As we begin our new fiscal year, we continue our mission: to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. We approach our jobs with a renewed sense that this year will bring more help to more people in need. As people walk through the door and ask for assistance, we offer revived hope as we help lift people out of a place of dependence and into a place of stability.
In order to do this, we put ourselves in a place of dependence. We rely on generous donors and volunteers, as well as community grants to help us assist those who struggle to provide for themselves. By supporting The Salvation Army you are helping to express care and compassion for the people in our community who are caught in a tough season. You offer the umbrella of protection during the storms of life. You are the hope that motivates our community members to continue forward and to move upward.
You are the fulfillment of our mission through the time, energy, and monetary contributions you entrust us with. Thank you.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings is expected to celebrate the 38th anniversary of the June 4th Movement in Wa, the Upper West regional capital, this year.
The theme for the celebration, DAILY GUIDE understands, is ‘restoring the values of probity, accountability and truth in contemporary politics’, even though the celebration appears to have lost momentum in recent times.
A 13-member local organising committee chaired by Alhaji Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, Member of Parliament for Wa Central, and comprising of party executives, United Cadres Front, 31st December Women’s Movement, young cadres, party communicators and youth groups, has been inaugurated to see to the successful organisation of the event, according to a statement issued by Saeed A. Faruk, a member of the publicity sub-committee for the event.
The statement indicated that the event is coming to Wa for the first time in the history of the movement.
The inaugural ceremony was witnessed by four key members of the central planning committee, namely Comrade Komla Nyaku, Dr Akwesi Senanu Dzokoto, Dr Donald Agumenu and Comrade Paul Boateng.
“Following the inauguration of the local organising committee, six sub-committees have been formed and assigned responsibilities geared towards making this year’s event an exceptionally historic one,” the statement stated.
June 4, 1979 was the day junior officers of the military, inspired by Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, who was himself ostensibly disconcerted with the impunity of the abuse of power showed their revulsion and rejection of the endemic corruption, ineptitude and nepotistic practices and attitudes in every sphere of the Ghanaian society.
Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings, the leader and founding father of the movement, along with key individuals associated with the June 4 tradition across the political divide, will be in Wa for the celebration. Expected also is the immediate past President John Dramani Mahama and some prominent members of the National Democratic Congress who will be there to grace the occasion, the statement said.

Price of petrol In Pakistan Prices Increased
On Wednesday, the Pakistani government announced a significant increase in prices for all petroleum products, with petrol rising by Rs24 per liter and high-speed diesel by Rs59.16 per liter within 20 days. This news comes as a shock to many Pakistanis who are already struggling with the high cost of living.
Finance Minister Miftah Ismail spoke at a news conference in Islamabad, flanked by State Minister for Petroleum Musadik Malik. He said that the new prices would come into effect from last night.
This decision is likely to cause further inflation and hardship for the people of Pakistan, who are already struggling to make ends meet. We urge the government to reconsider this decision and find another way to balance the budget without putting such a burden on the shoulders of the Pakistani people. In Pakistan Fuel Prices Increased
The finance minister criticized the previous PTI government for making a bad agreement with the IMF that tied the hands of the current government and forced it to increase oil prices in order to put the economy on track.
He said that the present government has a big challenge ahead in saving the country. If it doesn’t increase oil prices, the country will face financial problems.
He also said that it was a difficult decision to raise prices of petroleum products. However, he promised that the government would protect the poor.
After Increases New Prices of fuel In Pakistan Fuel Prices Increased
After an increase in prices, petrol is now available at Rs233.89 per liter, while high-speed diesel is available at Rs263.31 per liter and kerosene oil is available at Rs211.47 per liter. Light diesel oil is also available at Rs207.47 per liter after a price increase of Rs29.16.
State Minister for Finance Ravi Karunanayake said that he has been observing the country’s situation for the last 30 years, but he has never seen such a situation in terms of reflation.
Miftah Ismail stated that the government is currently restricted by the IMF agreement that was set in place by the PTI government. He went on to say that while the middle class and poor will suffer from the recent petrol price increase, the government is taking steps to help those who will be most affected.
“We have taken difficult decisions in the past, and we will continue to do so in order to protect the country from financial instability,” Ismail said. In Pakistan Fuel Prices Increased
The minister said that the government will no longer lose money on the sale of petrol, as the recent price increase has brought it in line with international rates.
Minister State of Petroleum
Musadiq Malik, Minister of State for Petroleum, spoke about the government’s decision to increase prices. He explained that the move was necessary to prevent a monthly loss of over Rs100 billion. The import of nine million tones of oil and 8.8million tones of diesel would have otherwise resulted in a too big loss for the government.
The state minister said that the government accepted their duty for its measures and would determine a new way ahead for the country through critical decisions.
Miftah said Pakistan could not control the Ukraine-Russia war and its effect on international fuel prices, but that they would only be able to control fuel prices when their difficult period ends and the country’s relations improve with global financial institutions. Price of petrol In Pakistan Prices Increased.
Earlier this month, the government had decided to increase the prices of all petroleum products except one by another Rs30, just a week after making a similar increase.
So far, Miftah Ismail said that even with the recent petrol price increase by Rs30, the government is still facing a loss of around Rs9 per liter as it is not collecting any tax on the fuel. The minister said that the government is holding talks with the IMF every day and while they cannot accept all of their demands, there are some points they have to agree to in order to continue talks. In Pakistan Fuel Prices Increased

What size of artwork is correct for different kinds of furniture? That’s totally up to your design vision. As a general guideline, however, many interior decorators recommend shooting for art that occupies about two-thirds to three-quarters the size of your furniture. Large art tends to get noticed more than smaller pieces. What if you have a long sofa or sectional and can’t find any art that’s big enough? One idea is to create an art grouping. Two or three similarly-sized photographs feel like a single unit. When it comes to height, it’s customary to hang art at eye-level. That’s usually between 5 and 6 feet from the floor, although you can feel free to place it lower if it feels more natural for the space. That’s often the case in dining rooms.
Eclectic decor takes this idea of personal expression to its maximum potential. It’s bright, bold and unafraid of making a statement. If that describes your personality pretty well, then this might be the style for you. What kind of photographs and prints fall into the realm of the eclectic? There are virtually no limits. Photographs with slogans, wild color combinations and even things not usually considered artistic are all fair game. The idea is to give people a good idea of who you are and what you stand for. If you’re into fashion, for example, some possibilities might be close-ups of eyes and eye shadow, clothing sketches and abstract art with mirrored and metallic surfaces.
Turn any empty entryway wall or spare space over the sofa into a decorative display with this eye-catching canvas print. Showcasing an illustration of a woman against a novel page background, it offers neutral hues of black and white. Made in the USA, this piece is printed on canvas and wrapped around a rectangular frame for a look that rivals any gallery. Plus, wall-mounting hardware is included for easy hanging.
Ranging from the beautiful icy landscape of Denali park in Alaska, to the sweeping everglades of Florida, National Parks are the heart and soul of America, and now they can be the heart and soul of your decor too! Bring a touch of antiqued flair and Park inspiration to your home with this must-have print. It showcases a collage of nine vintage advertisement posters for “Great Smoky Mountains,” “Everglades, “Yellowstone,” “Arches,” “Glacier,” “Joshua Tree,” “Yosemite,”...
Another thing you can ask yourself when picking out artwork is what purpose you have in mind for it. If you are looking for something big and bold to grab people’s attention when they walk into your living room or simply want something with a certain tone to complement an elegant rug. The answer to those questions and more will help point you in the right direction.

Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack has a new rival for recording audio from any Mac app: Ambrosia has announced its new audio recording utility WireTap Pro
(US$19). WireTap Pro boasts a one-button interface, direct AIFF, MP3,
and AAC recording support, iCal integration for scheduled recording of
radio, and even sharing of recording scheduling packages with other
users. (That last feature could be the killer feature.) One feature
Audio Hijack has it doesn't: it doesn't look like there's effects
capabilities or by-application control. Crazy power users like me may
want both utilities, especially with the $9 crossgrade from Audio Hijack.
WireTap's simple interface, though, is very appealing.
In other (not surprising news), the original, free WireTap has been
discontinued, though I found that app didn't work well with recent OS

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced plans to implement a windfall tax on power companies and banks that is expected to raise over €7 billion next year – in an effort to help lessen the impact of soaring inflation.
The announcement was made during yesterday’s State of the Nation debate at the Congress of Deputies, which also outlined how an increase in taxation on energy firms was expected to bring in an additional €2 billion this year.
It’s understood the levy will be imposed on large financial and energy institutions with a turnover of over €1 billion.
The taxation was one of a number of new policies announced, including additional funding for students and free rail tickets for suburban and medium-distance trains in the last quarter of the year.

Hernando County, FL (November 26, 2018) – A Hernando County woman was recently charged with neglecting her 85-year-old mother after they found her in poor condition.
The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office reported that 61-year-old Kimberly Schmeling called 911 to complain about her family. When deputies arrived at her home, they found her mother lying in her own feces. The mother suffers from dementia and relies solely on the care from her daughter.
Schmeling told deputies that she was angry with her mother. Schmeling stated that she wasn’t even able to care for herself and asked that the police transport her to the hospital. Instead, she was arrested and charged with the neglect of a disabled elderly person who happened to be her mother.
Hernando County Elderly Neglect Laws
When an elderly person is neglected by a family member, the courts tend to look at these issues with distaste, which is why it is important to be able to defend yourself in the midst of this type of criminal investigation. In Florida, abuse of the elderly is considered a felony. For third-degree elderly abuse and neglect crimes, you could find yourself spending five years in prison, and up to thirty years for a first-degree felony.
At Musca Law, we believe in building your case from its strengths and serving clients in a way that will help them avoid the most serious charges. We would like to present an aggressive defense on your behalf and stand by your side to help you achieve the best results possible in your case.

Voters in a special election yesterday approved funding for a new $29.1 million elementary school project that is roughly 58 percent reimbursable through the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
Out of 4,258 registered voters, 1,213 turned out at the polls, with 800 voting in favor of the project and 413 voting against.
The proposed project will replace the more than 40-year-old Briggs Elementary School with a two-story, 85,000-square-foot building that will support Ashburnham’s elementary school population for the next 60 to 80 years, officials said.
The impact on the tax rate for the town’s portion of the funding will be $1.88 per $1,000 property valuation.
The new school will be constructed behind the existing building. Children will stay in the old school during construction, and the old building will be demolished when the project is complete.
Ashburnham-Westminster Regional School Committee Chairman David M. Christianson Jr. said the project will go out to bid in spring and could break ground as soon as late summer.
“The goal is to open the new school in fall 2013,” he said.
School officials said issues in the existing structure built in the 1960s include health and safety concerns owed to poor indoor air quality, structurally unsound conditions of 20-year-old portable classrooms, overcrowding, problems with heating and ventilation systems, lack of space for the special education program, limited technology resources, and energy inefficiencies.
The new school will serve 520 students in kindergarten through Grade 5 on the 23-acre site and will include space for two pre-kindergarten classes.
Voters earlier this year approved $400,000 in a special election to fund a feasibility study for the project, with 53 percent of the study’s cost reimbursable through the state building authority.
The MSBA reviewed that study and accepted the school district’s preferred solution to replace Briggs Elementary School with a new facility.
Renovating and repairing the school was also considered, but a committee established to look at the issue determined a new building was the most economical solution.

Enbridge Inc (ENB_pa.TO)
17 Apr 2015
CALGARY, Alberta - After six years battling bitter opposition to its Keystone XL pipeline project in the United States, TransCanada Corp has learned where and when to pick its fights, to consult early and often - and to retreat when prudent.

Here are some of our favorite shows on TV this week:
Sunday - Two underrated new programs that both involve time travel.
“Making History” (7:30 p.m., Fox) - Deborah suspects that Dan may not be the clever inventor he claimed to be back in 1776, which leads to questions about their budding relationship. Meanwhile, Chris’ mentor puts him under intense scrutiny as he works to achieve tenure at the university.
“Time After Time” (8 p.m., ABC) - Dr. John Stevenson (Jack the Ripper) has met his match in a stunning and equally cunning doctor named Brooke. Meanwhile H.G. and Jane travel back to the 1980s where they make a shocking discovery that could change Vanessa’s life. I’m guessing its how cool sweaters look when tied around your neck.
Monday - Because “The Bachelor” is over and you have to watch something.
“Dancing with the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC) - Just when you though you had Nick Viall out of your life he extends his 15 minutes by participating in this popular dancing competition. Nick will compete against 11 other celebrities including Mr. T, Nancy Kerrigan, Simone Biles and Chris Kattan. But my money’s on former “Glee” star Heather Morris who used to be a backup dancer for Beyonce.
“Bates Motel,” (8 p.m., A&E) - Norman attempts to piece together Mother’s movements. Dylan and Emma confront an ugly truth while Sam’s girlfriend Marion makes a spur-of-the-moment decision with far-reaching consequences.

“Chopped” (8 p.m., Food Network) - A big setback leaves one chef unsure whether her sausage and okra appetizer will come together on time and as planned. We can all relate to that, right? Peppers and pears pair up in an exciting dessert round.
Wednesday - Plenty of drama on the Fox network tonight as one show premieres and a fan favorite returns.
“Shots Fired” (7 p.m., Fox, series premiere) - A white teenager is killed by a black cop during a police shooting. This leads an expert investigator and a special prosecutor to examine the case and grapple with media attention, public debate and social unrest. I’ve seen the first three episodes. Pretty good new series.
“Empire” (8 p.m., Fox, midseason premiere) - After launching a deadly missile at Angelo, Lucious announces his new music project, Inferno, and puts everyone on notice. Especially Cookie, who vows to knock him off his throne for good.
Thursday - Here’s what to watch on Friday Eve.

Later contestants must use a blowtorch to make an appetizer, proving Gordon Ramsay trusts children way more than I do.
“Baskets” (8 p.m., FX) - In the season two finale Christine turns to Arby’s when Chip joins the Russians. Because turning to Arby’s for a delicious roast beef sandwich is something you should do every Thursday.
Friday - The weekend is almost here!
NCAA Basketball Tournament (5 p.m., CBS) - Whether your bracket is already busted or not you can still enjoy today’s lineup of games. The most interesting matchup looks to be Wisconsin vs. Florida. The eighth seeded Badgers knocked off number one overall seed Villanova last weekend.

Island Coast baseball team outlasts weather, Suwannee to reach its first state championship
In the Class 4A state semifinal against Suwannee, it was important for Island Coast to get off to a fast start early at Hammond Stadium.
In a game that was delayed twice by more than five hours because of lightning and rain, the Gators were up 9–1 when Mother Nature stepped in and put a hold on the game just after 5:30 p.m. This one would last for more than 2 1/2 hours, and then at 8:44 p.m., there would be another one that would last for another 2 1/2 hours.
In the end, though, Island Coast beat the top-seeded Bulldogs 9-2 on Monday night to win its first state title in school history. They will play Jensen Beach in the state championship game, which is still set for 7 p.m. Tuesday. Jensen Beach beat Dunedin 2-0 in a game that started just before midnight on Monday and didn’t end until early Tuesday morning.
Island Coast coach Clint Montgomery said, “I thought the game started exactly how you would hope something would when you come here for the first time.” “It was a great start for us when we scored four runs in the first inning. That gave us a little bit of a boost. When Kevin Martinez is pitching and we score four runs, we feel pretty good.
“We did a great job of attacking in the next few innings to increase our lead. The weather delays worked out well. If the score was 3-2, it would have been a lot scarier.”
Island Coast got to Suwannee starter Matthew Gill early. They took him out of the game in the third inning after he gave up 10 hits, 9 runs, and 7 earned runs while walking no one and striking out two batters. Gill didn’t get any help on defense because Suwannee made four mistakes that led to multiple runs for the Gators.
“You wish your season would never end. Suwannee coach Justin Bruce said, “If it’s going to end, this is a good place for it to end.” “This is a group of high school seniors. For four years, they have put everything they have into this program. They’ve put a lot of time and effort into the younger guys, and the younger guys can learn a lot about how to do things right, which is important.
“This group is going to do a lot of good things in the future, and I couldn’t be prouder of the seniors and the season they’ve had.”
Martinez (12-1, 1.27 ERA) went back out to pitch after the first delay. He gave up a single and a walk to the first two Suwannee batters then struck out the next two. Camdon Frier, the Bulldogs’ No. 2 batter, hit an infield single that drove in a run before being picked off for the second time in the game with runners on first and third and two outs. Gill hit a double that went over the right-field wall in the first inning. At that time, he was up to try to cut the lead.
Martinez, who is going to Flagler, had a good final line. He went six innings, gave up six hits, two earned runs, walked one batter, and struck out 11 batters. Dylan Masters took over for Martinez, and he didn’t have any trouble sealing the win.
Martinez had only struck out ten or more batters in a game three times this year before Monday. He took advantage of a wide strike zone to get seven punchouts, which made it hard for the Suwannee batters to hit all game.
“The thing about Kevin is that I never worry about whether or not we’ll have a good game,” Montgomery said. “When he’s on the mound, the question is whether we can score three runs. Like I said about Boe Rodriguez, he’s been like that all year. Some days he throws pitches that get hits, and other days he throws pitches that make batters strikeout. Kevin was left out of a lot of lineups as the season went on. They weren’t interested in ideas. They didn’t want to fall behind in their counts.
“We’ve seen teams be aggressive and things like that. Even that doesn’t always work.”
— Joey Carucci (@Joeysangwiches) May 25, 2022
Gill said that Martinez was able to make the outer half of the strike zone bigger, and he thought that many strikes were called away and out of the zone. He also said that even though seven of the nine Bulldogs batters were hitting over.300 before the game, they couldn’t make the changes they needed to beat the right-hander.
“He was working hard,” Gill said of Martinez. “He was getting calls on the outside corner that we thought were balls, so we were just watching them. We didn’t like it, we thought they were jerks, but we needed to be more aggressive and weren’t.”
Rodriguez, who is going to FSW, had a good day for Island Coast on both offense and defense. The senior went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double, two runs scored, and an RBI. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Rodriguez made a key play by charging in on a slow ground ball before making a quick transfer and throw to first base. Martinez would then strike out the next two batters, ending his junior year on the mound with 91 strikeouts in 83 innings pitched.
Island Coast needs one more win to make history, and they will have 18 hours to get ready for their final game of the season. Since the other state semifinal game didn’t start until 25 minutes after their game ended at 11:30, the Gators will be more rested than Jensen Beach, which will have to play two games in less than 16 hours.
Both teams following them will be “here longer than we are,” Montgomery predicted. After we get them home, I’ll sit out there to watch them play and see how they do.” The fact that we’re back in our hometown, even if it’s not our home stadium or city, is a comfort for us. Our soldiers will be able to rest peacefully in their beds tonight. It doesn’t matter, in my opinion, in a game like tomorrow. There’s a good chance they’ll get pumped up. They will be ready to depart.”

The Federal Government has commenced the implementation of the long awaited tax on luxury products with immediate effect. This follows the Federal Executive Council approval of the revised National Tax Policy, which would increase the rate of VAT on luxury items like champagne above the current five percent increasing from the current five per cent, among other changes.
The coming of the new tax policy was announced by Mrs Kemi Adeosun, Minister of Finance. The revised policy will guide the operation and review of the tax system, provide the basis for future tax legislation and administration and provide clarity on the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and standard benchmark on which they would be held accountable. She identified citizens’ unwillingness to tax as one of the major contribution to the economic recession plaguing the country.
The tax policy will breathe life into former President Goodluck Jonathan administration’s unimplemented desire to tax luxury goods like champagne, alcoholic beverages, private jets, and luxury cars based on engine capacity and yachts as a measure to revive government sagging revenue in 2015. The administration had estimated to generate about N480bn from taxes on luxury items in the 2015 fiscal period.
Adeosun said that some aspects that the revised policy that would require legislative amendment would be forwarded to the National Assembly. Furthermore, the government would focus attention on indirect taxes and centralize the system of tax administration in the country. “What the committee has shown is that we should look at actually increasing VAT on some luxury items. With VAT of five per cent, we have the lowest VAT. While we don’t think VAT should be increased on basic items, if you are going to drink champagne in the United Kingdom, the VAT is 20 per cent; so, why should it be five per cent in Nigeria?
“So, they have made recommendations that we should pull out some luxury items and increase VAT on those items immediately. And I think that is a very valid and sensible suggestion, which we are going to talk to the National Assembly about to see how we can implement it. But as far as basic goods are concerned, no. I believe it is only fair that when you consume luxury goods, you should pay a little bit more. The National Assembly will decide the percentage,” she said.

Giant Aircraft Breaks Two World Records!
Aviation Correspondent Dave Rohee who has traveled the world reporting on Aviation News and events that are unique and interesting mentions the AN-225 Aircraft that has broken two world records recently. This magnificent flying machine is reported to be carrying huge quantities of medical supplies and equipment destined for countries suffering from the Coronavirus pandemic.
The first record flight of this unique ultra-large aircraft was from China to Warsaw on April 14, carrying tons of medical supplies – including medical masks, gloves and other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). The total load was 1000 cubic meters and the largest load ever carried in this aircraft.
The second record flight was less than one week later, again from China to France, and estimated at 150 metric tons of PPE! It took loaders over 10 hours to unload the aircraft.
The AN-225, first This aircraft, designed and built in Ukraine, had its maiden flight on December 21, 1988. It has been used primarily as an ultra-heavy lift cargo hauler capable of moving incredibly large loads and has also been utilized for years supporting humanitarian crises in several parts of the world.

Writers in the Forest
I’ve been bursting to share this news for a few weeks now! I’m delighted to say that I’ve been appointed as one of two Writers-in-Residence for the Forestry Commission’s centenary year. As part of my residency, I’ll be spending the summer in the depths of our national forests, unearthing their stories and learning more about woodland conservation.
Yesterday, I was featured in the Guardian by the lovely Patrick Barkham, who interviewed me and my fellow writer Zakiya Mckenzie. I’m so excited to share this opportunity with Zakiya and to see what creative work we each produce!
I’ll be keeping a separate blog for my residency here, which will feature research, observations and updates on my poetry project. My final piece will be an illustrated long-form narrative poem under the working title The Tangled Web.
Thanks to the brilliant Sarah Lee for taking this photo of Pablo and I for the Guardian piece, in between hail showers for that ‘authentic’ outdoorsy look…!

Gbenro Ajibade speaks on marrying actress, Osas Ighodaro to get American passport
Tall, dark and handsome Nollywood actor, Gbenro Ajibade has countered series of accusations that he had married his colleague, Osas Ighodaro who is an American citizen, just to get a USA passport.
Although the marriage didn’t last up to four years and packed up, in an interview with Ebuka Obi -Uchendu of Rubbin Minds, Ajibade says: “Well, I know some people believed the marriage was arranged by me, so I can get a blue passport (American passport). But everyone is entitled to their opinions. They believed I have gotten what I wanted and opted out of the marriage. We were married for 4 years and now officially divorced. I don’t want to disclose the actual month we got divorced but it is this year.
If it was about the passport, believe me I wouldn’t go through all that process. Did traditional marriage, involve families, do a white wedding in New York. Do you know how much I spent? So, my intentions were way above the passport and all of that.
Our marital issues started when we started having kids. I know why people came up with all of that, but that’s bullets I know I would collect. I wear shoes, I know what it feels like and always try to be that good, responsible man.”
On his relationship with his wife, he said, “we are still good. Back then, I tired to use my ranting about her on Instagram to call back her attention but unfortunately decisions were made and I had to agree, so we are good. You won’t understand. However, I still have that love and respect for her, regardless. She is still a good woman. The fact that it didn’t work out won’t make me say otherwise. If not for anything, we have a child, an innocent child.
That experience has taught me a lot about life. It has helped me become a better person.
I can still marry from the entertainment industry. The fact that my marriage crashed is not because we are both in the same industry.”
Also sharing his love for cooking, the fine boy actor says he learned the skills from his mum who made sure they as boys they were useful in the kitchen.
“I was out of Nigeria for months, but I didn’t miss the food much. This is because I can cook basically everything. I picked cooking from my mum. She had us cooking, pounding yams, cutting Okro. It has helped me know what to Cook and how to go about it.
I missed some jobs here in Nigeria because I needed to take care of my daughter who is also an American. I had to go flex, work and earn more money.”

Juba – Schools and learning institutions have started welcoming students and pupils into its premises despite lingering fears of the covid – 19 pandemic .
On Monday, Sept 15 marked the first day that gates of the schools were opened since the global pandemic led to close of learning institutions in March to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.
The reopening of learning institutions comes after the transitional cabinet gave a green light during its first meeting since March chaired by President Salva Kiir in Juba on Friday.
The resumption of all levels of institutions of learning also comes as the minister of health presented a report on the status of the coronavirus in the country, saying it has waned in the country in recent weeks.
South Sudan that had a fragile health system, blighted by an immense corruption, has recorded over 2,592 cases of covid 19 with 49 succumbed and 1,438 recovered cases since the first infections in April.
Despite the new cases in the country the council of ministers directed the ministers of general and higher education to reopen schools.
Though, the reopening is welcome, parents are still skeptical on the safety of their children at the schools.
“The learners [of primary and secondary] need serious orientations because they cannot understand what the face mask is and they cannot identify what a social distancing is,” said Juma Lado, resident of Juba.
The parents said there is also need to enforce pandemic guidelines since the health crisis caused by the virus still stands.
“I should be worried because teaching rooms are very crowding and it is easily to contact the virus,” said David Lual, 15 year old, senior two student in Juba, still an incredulous whether to join or not.
Due to massive ignorance on the pandemic in restive country, many students fear that they are going to study without observing all the preventive measures and this will lead ill health.
“Our lives matter and should be protected because if we are safe, then our parents will be safe too at home,” Mary Sebit, a student in Juba.
Meanwhile, the National Taskforce on Covid – 19 pandemic has welcomed the decision by the government to reopen schools but says all necessary preventive measures must be put in place across all schools and institutions of learning to ensure pupils and students protect themselves from the pandemic as they resume learning.
Many children agencies, including the Save the Children has commended the decision of school re-opening but advocates for the transitional government of Juba to provides all children with access to age appropriate information about pandemic in all applicable languages and to track how rumors and misinformation maybe harming or impacting specific groups of children.
“Save the Children welcomes the decision taken by the government of South Sudan to re-open schools to ease concerns on how covid – 19 has affected children’s rights to survival, protection and learning while at home,” said Rama Hansraj, the Country’s Director for Save the Children.
The decision to re-open schools puts the smile on the face of 2.2 million children whose right to education was impacted by six months of schools’ closure.
“We are very happy to return to school after long time,” said Kiden, 14 years old –girl, but our lives is precious, and therefore, we deserves any protection from the pandemic and then president Kiir’s government shouldn’t only gave okay and go back and sit without provides enough face masks to all the schools in the country.”
However, Save the Children further urge the government to ensure that these children who are out of school are mobilized to resume their education and to be put in place the necessary health guidance to ensure that children, teachers and their parents are protected from potential risks pose by the covid – 19.
Of recent, over 150 cases of child marriage has recorded since a partial lockdown was imposed in the world youngest nation.
The closure of schools comes with traditional cultural practices that promote early marriage in the South Sudanese communities.
South Sudan’s legal marital age is 18 years, but the country had a desperate poverty due to long wars, has for long grappled with high rates of early and forced marriages.

Venezuela is a country of astounding variety and remains a land largely undiscovered and undervisited by international travelers. Venezuela offers an astounding range of place to see and things to do. It is exceptionally rich in biological diversity and pure natural beauty. With 43 national parks and a number of natural monuments and protected areas it is a fabulous destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and adventure travelers. Those seeking adventure will find activities such as hiking/climbing, trekking, snorkeling/scuba diving, kitesurfing, canyoning, windsurfing, paragliding, mountain biking, white water rafting and much more within a one-day bus trip or a short flight from each other!
After I learned Harrison Ford had been in Venezuela, I thought there might be more to him than Hollywood. I started researching his life “behind the scenes” and learned that he has been part of Conservation International (CI) Board of Directors for over 15 years. Check out his latest public service announcement for CI’s climate change campaign. The campaign focuses on the critical issue of stopping deforestation which is one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to significantly reduce global carbon emissions. Very cool!
Last week I was having dinner with a couple of friends and I found out that actor and conservationist Harrison Ford narrated a nature and wildlife documentary called Lost Worlds: Life in Balance. The movie, directed by Bayley Silleck, takes viewers on a global exploration on how all living things interconnect in our planet. The documentary leaps off the top of Angels Falls – the tallest waterfall in the world; it dives into active volcanoes; and it climb to the top of tropical rain forest which allows you to participate in the epic story of biodiversity and its profound importance to human life. I must say I was quite impressed with the documentary. I even bought the video!
Have you ever seen/been to Angel Falls? Would you say it is as spectacular as the video portrays it?
Did you know that the centerpiece of Up’s “Lost World” was inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World and a legendary waterfall found in Venezuela which cascades a staggering 9,700 feet from cloud-enshrouded cliffs to the jungle below?
Did you know that although Up’s “Paradise Falls” does not exist in the real world, the sketches, photographs, and videos used by Director Pete Docter to create Up’s fictional waterfall were taken from Canaima National Park? Read more

Yea, smoking is really dangerous. Because medically chronic smoking will cause a change in the protective epithelial lining of the lung from the simple cubiodal to stratifified squamous thereby predisposing the lungs to squamous cell carcinoma.
The popular cancer of the lung in later life
It causes liver and kidney failure
Black lips. It can lead to depression. It can makes one to start developing psychological and mental problems
No it doesn't
Its depends on how to you use...if its been abuse then that's dangerous..
So far so good
Weed is medicinal
Yes because smoking is unhealthy, it's like a slow death.
Just use a vaporizer instead, it's much healthier. And they are not that expensive considering you never have to buy lighters, rolling papers, tobacco again.

In this paper, we report on the design, fabrication and characterization of a low cost, portable detection system able to quantify, in a rapid and reliable way, the contamination level of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in red wine. The operating principle is the real-Time monitoring of the natural fluorescence of OTA molecules during a chromatographic run on a thin layer chromatographic plate. The fluorescence is detected by an array of amorphous silicon photosensors whose photocurrents are directly proportional to the amount of OTA molecules present in the sample under analysis. By comparison with a reference sample the system is able to determine if the OTA contamination level is below or above the limit law for each food commodity. The system performances have been verified in real matrices analyzing several samples extracted from red wines obtaining a minimum detectable quantity of 0.2ng. © 2017 IEEE.

TxDOT prepares for Lamar Street reconstruction project
Sweetwater – The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will begin a major project to reconstruct 1.3 miles of Lamar Street (US Highway 70-Business) in Sweetwater the first week of September.The project will completely rehabilitate Lamar, which is one of the community’s major streets, from Interstate 20 to Avenue B by rebuilding the road base, laying new asphalt and building concrete intersections to improve drainage. The project also includes new sidewalks, curbs, gutters, retaining walls and upgraded signals.Work will begin just after Labor Day when crews will close the street’s two northbound lanes and channel traffic to one lane in each direction on the west side of the road for part of Lamar Street. To facilitate traffic flow, most work will be completed on one half of the road at a time, starting with intersection work on the east side of the road. The first intersections to be reconstructed will be East Texas and East Arkansas Avenues.Plans also call for sidewalk, curb and other work to be completed as much as possible before making major traffic switches to minimize disruptions to drivers, businesses and residents. The work will be phased to accommodate businesses and residences, as well as school and special event schedules, as much as possible. Work will not take place in front of the school until classes are dismissed next summer.The project is expected to be complete by spring of 2015. Throughout construction, drivers and pedestrians are urged to use extreme caution in the work zone.J.H. Strain and Sons, Inc. of Tye will complete the project for about $6.5 million. Texas Department of TransportationThe Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail, and public transportation across the state. TxDOT and its 11,000 employees are committed to working with others to provide safe and reliable transportation solutions for Texas by maintaining a safe system, addressing congestion, connecting Texas communities, and being a Best in Class state agency.

Like Kali, I would say that in general I read for pleasure on paper, and for work on screen. This likely has something to do with my perceived association between computers and schoolwork or professional work. There is something about a computer screen that doesn’t let me relax; it screams “responsibilities” and even when I am performing personal computer tasks such as checking email or Facebook, I always wish I were doing something different instead.
This may be why I have tended to stick with reading journal articles for school on screen rather than printing them out. Printed texts, to me, are for pleasure. (While articles can sometimes be pleasurable to read, they are still associated with the “work” category in my mind.) Books read for personal pleasure, however, belong in print, for me at least. I also prefer reading print versions of magazines, simply because I love those glossy pages and the act of flipping through them… On the occasions when I buy books (not too often, but sometimes), they are print versions, and ditto for when I borrow books from the library.
I have yet to borrow an e-book from a library: this is largely due to the fact that I prefer the aesthetics of reading print books, but also partly because physically going to the library is an activity that brings me joy. As an aspiring librarian, I love the library as a physical space, and I get excited to go there, even when it is simply to return a book or pick up a hold. There is something wonderful about that moment when you finish a book and get to choose your next, and the library is often a part of this process for me. As such, I don’t see my preferences regarding reading methods and borrowing books rather than buying them changing anytime soon.
