This week our team found themselves at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, CT for the first time. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a nonprofit organization that runs on membership funds and donations from the community.
The venue is well run and managed; it has an old time appeal and even boasts a concession person that walks up and down the aisle selling cold drinks and snacks.
Now moving on to who we were there to see the “Wizards of Winter”.
The Wizards of Winter are two members of the very popular Tran-Siberian Orchestra who formed another group that basically hits us with an amazing combination of metal music, and orchestra arrangements all tied together with a Christmas theme and cheer.
They really have something for everyone. There were children of all ages, as well as teenagers, and people in their 30 along with the good old rock n rollers of days gone by. If you are in search of something different, I would consider Wizards of Winter.

Curious about your tax withholding for 2018?
Following major tax law changes, the IRS is urging all taxpayers to check their tax withholding to ensure they have the right amount of tax taken out of their paychecks. Too little withheld could mean a tax bill or penalty. With the average refund topping $2,800, some may prefer to get more money in their pay now.
The IRS has provided a handy Withholding Calculator to help you see where you stand. You can find it here.

The trial for accused murderer David Ryan didn’t go ahead as scheduled on Tuesday. Court was only in session for a matter of minutes when it adjourned again with a date of March 13 scheduled for the start of the trial.

Ryan’s lawyer, Bob Buckingham, spoke with media after court, but he started by saying he couldn’t say much about what was going on. He would only say that the new date was set “as a result of some legal issues that have arisen.”
When pressed further about whether the case would go ahead on March 13, Buckingham said that depends on the outcome of discussions with the Crown surrounding those legal issues.
Buckingham did say those issues were obviously important enough to stop the start of the trial from happening and delay jury selection which was scheduled for Tuesday, as well.
The defence, Crown and the judge were all going to meet in chambers following Tuesday’s short court session.
Ryan is being retried for the 2005 murder of Richard Brace.
Brace, a 29-year-old man from Green’s Harbour, was found badly beaten at a house on Water Street in Carbonear July 1, 2005. He was declared brain dead and died of a hemorrhage three days later.

Ryan had been found guilty after he represented himself at his first trial in May 2007 and was sentenced to life in jail without the possibility of parole for 16 years.
However, in February 2012, the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court of Appeal overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial.
In making its decision, the appeals panel pointed out that Ryan, a man with limited
education, could not fully understand the legalities of the trial and was unable to conduct a proper defence.
Ryan, who had been in jail since 2005, was released on bail in March 2012 after the appeal court decision.


Totalization With Mexico Would Add Billions In New Costs To Social Security
At Wednesday's hearing, many lawmakers seemed to agree that Congress should begin working seriously towards a long-term plan, but it was clear that there is no consensus on what that plan should look like. One member of the committee, Senator Bob Corker (TN), said he would support a plan similar to the Simpson-Bowles proposal of 2010 that would increase Social Security's age of eligibility and adopt the "chained" CPI, among other things. .It remains to be seen whether or not Congress will adopt the recommendations made by MedPAC in its most recent report. The Commission is an independent Congressional agency, but its policy recommendations are non-binding and Congress rarely takes immediate action on them. Nonetheless, TSCL will keep a close eye on the recommendations that were made this week, since they could positively affect millions of Medicare beneficiaries if enacted. .Some issues of controversy inevitably arose at Thursday's hearing, but common ground was also found on the important issue of corporate tax reform. The Joint Committee, which must hold a vote on its final proposal before Thanksgiving, will likely hold a third public hearing in the coming weeks. TSCL will continue to monitor its progress. … Continued
Medigap Premiums Are You One Of The 62
That is why TSCL is fighting so hard for legislation to reduce drug prices and for increased COLAs that reflect the true cost of living for our nation's seniors. .The debts in question involved cases decades old, and debts many taxpayers never even knew about — for benefits that were paid to their parents or guardians when they were children. If an overpayment is made on behalf of a child (such as survivors benefits) the child could be held liable years later as an adult. .How will the information be used in my treatment? … Continued
If you are over the age of 65 and need help paying for eye care services, you might be eligible for help from EyeCare America. This organization is one of the nation's leading public service programs to provide eye care through a group of more than 5,500 volunteer ophthalmologists. According to their website, ninety percent of the care provided is at no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. .This failure of the COLA to keep up with rising Medicare Part B premiums and other retiree costs is creating a dilemma that is growing in magnitude, not only for older Americans, but also for the nation's safety net programs like Medicaid. A majority of Social Security recipients depend on their benefits for more than half of their income, and almost half of all retirees have only limited or no retirement savings at all. The lack of adequate growth in benefits over the past eight years is pushing modest income seniors into poverty, forcing even those who started out as middle-income retiree households to rely on Medicaid for help paying Medicare costs, rental subsidies, fuel assistance, food pantries and senior meals programs. .By doing her research now, your sister can start learning about her options in the area where she would like to live. She needs to get an idea of how much senior living options cost, how the options are financed, and what she needs to do to get ready for such a move. There are companies that specialize in helping older adults downsize, and she may need to talk to a financial planner and real estate agents to get her home ready to put on the market. .The 2017 COLA will likely be 0.3 percent says Mary Johnson, a Social Security policy analyst and researcher for TSCL. "And there's a chance that lower gas prices will drag the COLA down even further, to 0.2 percent," Johnson adds. Either way, the 2017 COLA is expected to raise Social Security benefits by only a few dollars, and any increase will be completely offset by stiff increases in the Medicare Part B premium for most people 65 and over. .The Social Security Notch is the unexpectedly steep drop in benefits that affects people born from 1917 through 192This generation of seniors receives lower benefits than other seniors who had nearly identical work and earnings histories. .The America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) trade group commission released a report claiming that insurance premiums would increase by 1.9 to 2.3 percent by 201The report asserts that the new fee will be passed on to consumers. Citing the annual fee on insurers mandate under the Affordable Care Act, an AHIP spokesperson predicted the increase in costs would act "just like any other sales tax." The White House disputed the claim, saying that the report was "fundamentally flawed" and ignored provisions of the law that would decrease costs. .We are still learning how effective the vaccines are against variants of the virus that causes COVID-1Early data show the vaccines may work against some variants but could be less effective against others. .The Social Security Administration calculates benefit withholdings based on the amount you report that you will earn for the year, and then will withhold all benefit payments for a certain period of months to cover excess earnings. For example, say you received a Social Security benefit payment of 0 per month in 2007 (,800 for the year). Let's say that during 2007 you worked and earned ,450 or ,490 over the earnings limit (,450 - ,960). Social Security would withhold ,745 in benefit payments covering slightly more than 6 months of your payments. ."Unfortunately for seniors and their families these extreme differences in cost are not unique," says Johnson. "Almost every Medicare beneficiary enrolled in a Part D drug or Medicare health plan can achieve savings if they carefully compare all their options every year and switch when they find better coverage," Johnson says. "All that's required is computer access, the Medicare Drug and Health Plan Compare tools on the Medicare website at www.medicare.gov and determination to give it a try," she notes.

A lot of players won’t consider it a battle pass, however Blizzard implemented a system that works like that during Legion/BFA.
In the video game industry, a battle pass is a type of monetization approach that provides additional content for a game usually through a tiered system, rewarding the player with in-game items for playing the game and completing specific challenges.
Similar to this kind of Battle pass, we’ve the forgotten:
This system works similar to a battle pass, get honor levels and progress for rewards.
Right now this system is obsolete, compared to other games the rewards are split into some sort of exponencial goal, it starts with rewards every 5 lvls but later each 10-25-50-100.
IMO that’s a bad way to promote the system, it could have some rewards with unused mount colors, gold, unused pets…etc always keeping all the current rewards, adding rewards between previous progress and new progress in next expansions.
Besides the goals and rewards, progressing through the system and levels should be improved.
Almost all other games that have some sort of battle pass provides daily/weekly quest, right now WoW has few quest of that sytel for PVP (Even removing A New Deal for S4).
I’d suggest to include quest for attacking a base, defending a base, killing X amount of players on BGs/Open World/Arenas besides the current quest, similar to games like Fornite in order to avoid troll behaviour among the same team, some quest progress should be provided to the whole team or the players around the objective…
This is a casual participation system that any player could engage from different sources and it does’t required too much skill since honor could be earn from different activities.
Also, Devs should do something about Honor for Gear upgrades and Honor as EXP for this kind of system, maybe Blizzard doesn’t want to provide huge amount of honors or new ways to earn this progress due to the attachement to player power.
This a great evergreen system, since it’s not related to seasonal content, please improve it.
Right now, I just do some BGs casually and spam Arathi Comp Stomp Brawl for honor but it’s not good gameplay, I’ll do more BGs if there’s some objetives similar to other games with specific dailies.

There is an interesting silver lining that has provided some subtext to the shitshow of the ongoing pandemic. While stages have remained shuddered and the future of live music is anything but certain, the amount of time that has freed up as a result has translated into a creative bloom - a flourishing crop of projects that were always on the back burner, until now.
Particularly for Arizona antagonists Gatecreeper, the band's architect in Chase Mason had long been enamored with the notion of releasing a dual-sided recording that presented two sides of the same coin. Referencing Black Flag's iconic, albeit polarizing, My War, Mason was especially fascinated with how people would reference not just a record, but a particular side of a record - a level of specificity that suggests something stuck.
As the band's touring itinerary continued to open up and the pandemic saw a succession of surges, the reality grew increasing obvious that the road was as far off as ever and time was something the band would have an abundance of. Opting to make it productive, Mason and the band took to the studio.
Anchored by the caliber of aggression that has allowed Gatecreeper to resonate with the multitude of enclaves within the heavy music universe, An Unexpected Reality not only allowed Mason to see his creative vision come to fruition, but the unannounced, zero promotional rollout EP served as a outlet for the band to showcase their versatility and continued evolution.
Covering a stylistic spectrum that skillfully weaves elements of grindcore, doom, hardcore, and black metal, Gatecreeper's ambition was underscored by their execution with the 7-track A Side functioning as the Molotov cocktail with the 11-minute single track B-side serving as the crumbling inferno.
Chase Mason explains how the apropos An Unexpected Reality filled the void of the dismal 2020.
If not for the pandemic and scarped tour plans in 2020 - does An Unexpected Reality ever get made?
Mason - I think it would have been made eventually, but the cancelled tour plans definitely freed up our time to make it happen sooner than later.
You guys brought up two really good points when you announced this record - 1. People’s attention spans are fried. It’s damn near impossible to get people to stay focused for too long. 2. An Unexpected Reality is intended to be consumed all at once. With everyone stuck inside, do you feel like the climate is ideal for a full album listening experience like this?
Mason - We hope so. It's a very bizarre time we live in. People are burnt out, but also have a lot more time on their hands. Hopefully the way we released this record hit a sweet spot for people where they are excited on impact and make the time immediately to listen to it all the way through. Luckily, it's short.
Gatecreeper seems to be a part of a growing community of emerging artists that disregard genre divides. Grind, doom, Black, hardcore - these are usually tough to meld together yet this album does exactly that. Do you feel like fans are becoming less purist?
Mason - There are certainly purists out there in any genre, especially metal sub-genres for some reason. We have gotten sort-of pigeonholed in the past and lumped into a current "sound" or "trend" in death metal. As a band, we like all kinds of genres of metal. We have varied tastes in general. This record was a conscious effort to knock down those boundaries and to do whatever excites us.
Particularly for songs like :”Superspreader” and “Sick of Being Sober” were any of these songs therapeutic In helping get through the shit show that was 2020?
Mason - I don't know if "therapeutic" is the right word, but it definitely helped vent some anger or frustrations.
Given the experimental nature of this release as kind of a creative one off, do you see any of the stylistic changes you have made for this record sticking around for good? Like - does the 'no blast beats rule’ maybe get lifted for good?
Mason - There will definitely be some elements that stick around. Maybe we will have some shorter, faster songs in the mix on our next record. Maybe we will throw some quick blast sections into what would be a more standard Gatecreeper song. Nothing is off the table.
You’ve mentioned you didn’t want to treat this like your next full length - was there any thought to maybe releasing this under a different name?
Mason - No, never. It may sound a little different, but it's still sounds like Gatecreeper.
With touring still seemingly far off, is there any thought to this being a potential start of a series of EP releases?
Mason - No, probably not. If touring keeps getting pushed back, we are just going to start working on our next full-length.
Holy hell - 11 minutes! Was “emptiness” always intended to be so epic or did that come together organically?
Mason - I definitely wanted it to be long... and slow. It just sort of evolved organically. The trickiest and most important part was to make it interesting all the way though. Not just long for the sake of being long. It was added to and different influences were thrown in and by the time it was complete, it was a whole different beast from when it started.

Design It, Quilt It: Free-Form Techniques »
Type of item: Functional
Style: Whimsical, Cute
Fabric fat quarters and yardage. Walking foot and free motion quilting foot
What was your inspiration?
My inspiration was this whimsical insect fabric I picked up while on vacation (yeah, I was in the quilt shops). I wanted to make something for my grandson and I wanted to play with circles. I ended up quilting these circles with a walking foot (288 circles), Ughhh! Of course when looking at it up close, I wasn't completly delighted with all my circles (hard to get all 288 perfect), but as I quilted along, I saw this wonderful little negative space developing (see picture) and I kept hearing Cindy Needham's voice saying "If you don't like the way some thing looks, create a distraction". I ended up quilting these little "Leah Day-esque" matrixes in between the circles and the quilt took on a whole new personality. That said, I am not anxious to play with circles again anytime soon.
What are you most proud of?
Each quilt that I make has some element of free motion quilting in it now. One more project under my belt, one more learning opportunity. My feathers may not be ready for prime time yet, but I will get there. I am NOT AFRAID ANYMORE.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Have fun with it

The SFC has certain statutory powers to investigate the affairs of listed companies. Under Section 29A of the old Securities Ordinance, and under Section 179 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. Where it appears, amongst other things, that fraud or oppression of minority shareholders has taken place, or where shareholders have not been given all the information that they might reasonably expect, then an investigation can be launched.
With rare exceptions, the SFC does not disclose when its investigations are taking place or anything about them. However, the fact that a company is under investigation can itself be price sensitive information, and Webb-site.com has noted a number of cases in which the company concerned has announced that an investigation has been launched.
So as a service to our readers, to the best of our knowledge, here is a list of companies in respect of which investigations by the SFC have been announced, usually by the company itself, rarely by the SFC. In some cases, the investigations may have been completed without any action being taken. If this is publicly disclosed, then we will remove them from the list. In others, the investigation may be continuing and/or passed to the Commercial Crime Bureau, see our CCB Watch page.

Being told you have a heart issue can be unsettling and perplexing, but there is a wealth of knowledge and assistance accessible to you. Sometimes being aware of what’s going on can make you feel less anxious.
Here is a dangerous illness about which you should be knowledgeable since you could save someone’s life by providing them with accurate information.
What is endocarditis?
Bacteria are all around us, and many live in different parts of our body. But if you have heart problems, bacteria in your bloodstream can attach to damaged tissue and cause an infection called endocarditis.
Inflammation of the endocardium, the inside lining of your heart, is known as endocarditis. Bacteria typically cause it. Infective endocarditis is the term used when the inflammation is brought on by an infection. In people with healthy hearts, endocarditis is infrequent.
Warning signs of endocarditis
The following are the warning signs of endocarditis:
- Herat murmur
- Blotchy skin
- Swollen feet
- Persistent cough
- Weight loss,
- Joint pain,
- Chills at night times
Infectious endocarditis symptoms differ significantly from person to person. They fluctuate over time and are influenced by the infection’s origin, heart health, and how long it has been active.
Variables that make the disease worse
The following variables aggravate the situation:
- Using a needle tainted with bacteria or fungi to inject unlawful intravenous drugs
- Tissue damage from previous endocarditis
- Having a heart abnormality
- Having an artificial heart valve replacement
- Scarring brought on by damaged heart valves permits bacteria or germs to proliferate

a) CT or MRI scans
These examinations use images to show your doctor whether the illness has moved to different parts of your body, such as your chest or brain.
This will reveal if your heart or lungs have been impacted by endocarditis.
c) Cardiac Echogram
These examinations demonstrate how your heart is functioning. An ultrasound machine is used to create images of your heart during an echocardiogram. The timing and duration of your heartbeat are measured by sensors during an ECG.
d) Blood Test
These will check for germs in your circulatory system or reveal other endocarditis-related conditions, like anemia, which denotes a lack of red blood cells
Therapy for endocarditis
The majority of streptococcal infections can be effectively treated with aqueous penicillin or ceftriaxone. For endocarditis brought on by enterococci that aren’t very resistant to penicillin, a combination of penicillin or ampicillin plus gentamicin is acceptable. Penicillin should be replaced with vancomycin when there is high-level resistance. The issue of enterococci developing resistance to many antibiotics, including vancomycin, is getting worse. Nafcillin, oxacillin, or cefazolin are used to treat methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus native valve infections. Gentamicin use for the first three to five days may hasten the bacteremia’s recovery. Three antibiotics should be used to treat a staphylococcal infection of a prosthetic valve: oral rifampin, gentamicin, and either nafcillin, oxacillin, cefazolin, or vancomycin, depending on methicillin susceptibility. Penicillin is exchanged for vancomycin.
b) Surgical procedures
Surgery may be necessary to treat persistent infective endocarditis or heart valve damage brought on by endocarditis. Any dead tissue, scar tissue, fluid collection, or debris from infected tissue may be removed surgically. Your damaged heart valve may potentially be removed during surgery and replaced with either synthetic material or animal tissue.
The chance of bacteria accumulating in your mouth and entering your bloodstream can be reduced by practicing good oral hygiene and keeping frequent dentist appointments. You will have a lower chance of acquiring endocarditis as a result of an oral injury or infection. Make careful to take your antibiotics as prescribed if you had dental work done and were then given antibiotics.
Watch out for the signs and symptoms of endocarditis if you have a history of congenital heart disease, a heart operation, or endocarditis. Pay close attention to an ongoing fever and unexplained exhaustion. If you have any of these symptoms, get in touch with your doctor as soon as you can.

The evolution of young stars and disks is driven by the interplay of several processes, notably the accretion and ejection of material. These processes, critical to correctly describe the conditions of planet formation, are best probed spectroscopically. Between 2020 and 2022, about 500orbits of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are being devoted in to the ULLYSES public survey of about 70 low-mass (M⋆ ≤ 2 M⊙) young (age < 10 Myr) stars at UV wavelengths. Here, we present the PENELLOPE Large Program carried out with the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) with the aim of acquiring, contemporaneously to the HST, optical ESPRESSO/UVES high-resolution spectra for the purpose of investigating the kinematics of the emitting gas, along with UV-to-NIR X-shooter medium-resolution flux-calibrated spectra to provide the fundamental parameters that HST data alone cannot provide, such as extinction and stellar properties. The data obtained by PENELLOPE have no proprietary time and the fully reduced spectra are being made available to the whole community. Here, we describe the data and the first scientific analysis of the accretion properties for the sample of 13 targets located in the Orion OB1 association and in the σ-Orionis cluster, observed in November-December 2020. We find that the accretion rates are in line with those observed previously in similarly young star-forming regions, with a variability on a timescale of days (≲3). The comparison of the fits to the continuum excess emission obtained with a slab model on the X-shooter spectra and the HST/STIS spectra shows a shortcoming in the X-shooter estimates of ≲10%, which is well within the assumed uncertainty. Its origin can be either due to an erroneous UV extinction curve or to the simplicity of the modeling and, thus, this question will form the basis of the investigation undertaken over the course of the PENELLOPE program. The combined ULLYSES and PENELLOPE data will be key in attaining a better understanding of the accretion and ejection mechanisms in young stars.

The webinar brings two together the authors of two new books on the subject of international investment law in Africa and three expert panelists to interrogate thematic issues that arise from the books; their implication for contemporary practices of international investment law in Africa and beyond; and what insights we may draw on them for the future of the regimes on investment law in Africa.
Foreign Direct Investments
The News and Events category publishes the latest News and Events relating to International Economic Law relating to Africa and the Global South. Every week, Afronomicslaw.org receive the News and Events in their e-mail accounts. The News and Events published every week include conferences, major developments in the field of International Economic Law in Africa at the national, sub-regional and regional levels as well as relevant case law. News and Events with a Global South focus are also often included.
As the author explains in the foreword, this book intends to explore the principles, policies and practice in international investment law across the world and to foster greater study interests of students in the field. Unlike other textbooks that focus solely on investment protection in international law, this book brings an under-explored perspective from developing countries, in particular from Nigeria.
The overarching argument made in the book is that there is a pressing need to reconceptualize the interpretation of the FET standard, taking into account the particular developmental circumstances of the developing countries in investor-State disputes. The book explores these challenges and issues that the developing countries face arising from overly broad interpretations of the FET standard.
Without doubt, once in force, RCEP could stimulate COVID-19 recovery in the region by fostering greater investment among the fifteen Asia-Pacific countries. However, as the Agreement will be co-existing with other IIAs among the countries, it adds another noodle to the already growing spaghetti bowl of IIAs among the Asia-Pacific States.
This paper engages in a critical legal analysis of Professor Ian Taylor’s article, Sixty Years Later: Africa’s Stalled Decolonization. It is not meant to be an exhaustive analysis but will provide a limited legal perspective of the article’s foundational arguments on the underlying causes of Africa’s economic underdevelopment, through a legal lens rooted in intellectual property (IP) law and international investment law (IIL).
Unfortunately, the Guide appears to be blind to the way in which conceiving land and tenure rights in the context of global vale chains can multiply the relevant spaces of engagement and challenges the traditional notion of jurisdictional spaces and fragmentation. Luckily, communities, activists and lawyers acting on the ground have come to this realization long ago, and I believe that they will find the best way to use a document that aims to normalize large-scale investments but can also open new interesting spaces for political and legal resistance.
While international trade has undergone significant structural changes recently, particularly with the proliferation of new generation of free trade agreements (FTAs), the debate on the consequences of IIAs for sustainable development continues to widen and intensify. In effect, while there has been fundamental changes in the international investment landscape in terms of players (now comprising state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds) and FDI direction (with emerging economies now being, not only recipients, but increasingly home states), governments are also now adopting industrial policies and development strategies that contrast with their erstwhile hands-off approach to economic development.
“Not acceptable at this level”, a professor commented on one of my exam questions that asked students to “[d]escribe the salient features of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).” This happened in 2017 at the University of Namibia (UNAM) where, until last year, I taught the International Economic Law module, a module pitched at the level of a bachelor honors degree. The professor – an academic from a leading South African university hired to moderate examination papers from UNAM’s Faculty of Law – recommended that I tweak my question as follows: “Discuss the validity of the Southern African Customs Union in the WTO framework”.
Developmental statism differs from the R4I model insofar as the economic activities of foreign state firms, as opposed to local state firms, drive R4I dealings. This should concern policy makers because of what an externally driven agenda implies for the long-term development of host states.

New York holds a special place in the hearts of us 80s and 90s kids. We grew up watching kids shows and films based in the city – Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Ghostbusters, Home Alone 2 – and as we got older we dreamed of living the New York City life whilst watching Friends and Sex and the City. It’s almost become a modern pilgrimage that every millennial should embark on at least once in a lifetime. It’s no surprise then that some of my favourite holiday memories are from my trip to NYC back in 2014.
We were to stay in downtown Manhattan at The New Yorker hotel. A historic jazz era, Art Deco hotel that was home to the brilliant Nikola Tesla; the man we have to thank for New York’s dazzling lights, and in fact almost every other modern invention in existence!
I’m always on the lookout for a bargain, especially when booking a holiday. So, when I spotted the 7 night trip at an all time low, I snapped it up! “Sure, it’s out of season,” I told myself about the February dates “but cities never really go out of season…”
It hadn’t dawned on me to check just why prices were so low for that week. Fast forward to day 3 of the trip when I found out that February on the East coast gets cooold!
New York Blizzards
We’d been greeted to the city with sunshine and blue skies, but sh*t was about to get real. A deadly snow storm was incoming and about to wreak havoc on the city. There was an upside to the blizzards though: There were barely any tourists, anywhere. Apart from Times Square, which is like Piccadilly Circus on steroids 100% of the time.
We wanted to see the bright lights of NYC in all their glory so decided to take a trip up the Empire State Building just before closing at around 12:30am. The place was empty. We rushed through the queuing area and took the lift with just one other couple. At the top, there were a few tourists huddled inside the building staying warm, so I took the opportunity to step outside and soak in the city alone. It was beautiful, deadly quiet and I felt like I had the entire view to myself. Fellow introverts, take note: The best way to see NYC is late at night!
On our final day we ventured in to the icy tundra that was Central Park. Again – apart from a few couples at the zoo, and a separate couple very passionately eating each others faces in the middle of the park (presumably for warmth) – we had the whole place to ourselves.
A Chilly Day Trip to DC
In order to cram as much in to the 7 days as possible, I booked a day return train ticket to Washington DC. “How much time do you need to look at a few monuments? This is more than doable in one day”. Oh naïve past-me.
I’d imagine in the warmer weather, a short trip to Washington DC would be easy. But in February the city seems vast, barren and grey. The monuments are a good distance from one another, and if you’re not used to cold weather you’re not going to have much fun. An organised day trip from NYC would have made more sense in that weather rather than going it alone.
That being said, if you don’t mind roughing it winter is a great time to travel by train in America. Their trains are warm and spacious and so snug. Travelling by train gives you the opportunity to see each city skyline up close, even if only for a few minutes.
The train journey from NYC to Washington DC was a real highlight of the trip. Taking the commute with people who work in the Capital, talking about work deadlines and their favourite sports and pizza gave a glimpse in to real life in the US. Between carriages was so cold that snow and ice built up in the train during our journey. I stepped off the train in to -14° weather. It was bitter cold and there was a moment whilst waiting for a bus when I thought I might freeze to death, but then we found a Shake Shack phew!
Anyone else feeling chilly after that? Hopefully you’ll be creating some top holiday moments of your own this summer, so why not check out the Personalised Photo Books from Truprint and create a unique album to look back on, or even give to family as a gift.

From Rasmussen Reports:
Americans strongly support the government’s travel bans and school closings in response to the coronavirus threat, but one-in-four think panic, not reason, is driving some decisions.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 80% of American Adults agree with the federal government’s decision to temporarily ban travelers from China and nearly all European countries to prevent the possible spread of coronavirus. Only 12% disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Seventy percent (70%) think the schools in their state should be closed in response to the virus. Just 19% disagree, but 11% are undecided.
When asked which is closer to their own thinking, 64% of Americans say the numerous event closures and postponements in response to coronavirus are good thinking. Twenty-six percent (26%), however, view them as a panicked overreaction. Ten percent (10%) are not sure.
(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.
The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted March 15-16, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Americans are only slightly more concerned about their personal safety as the coronavirus pandemic grows, but they’re noticeably less confident that the U.S. health care system can deal with the problem.
Sizable majorities across nearly all demographic categories support the government’s decision to temporarily ban travelers from China and Europe.
Republicans (91%) support the travel ban more than Democrats (78%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (75%) do. But Democrats (82%) are more enthusiastic than GOP (68%) and unaffiliated voters (61%) when it comes to closing the schools in their state.
Women and adults under 40 are more supportive of school closures than men and older Americans are.
Even among Americans who see the numerous closures and postponements as a panicked overreaction, 74% agree with the government’s temporary travel ban on visitors from China and Europe. But only 39% of these adults favor closing the schools in their state.
Given China’s silence and secrecy about the outbreak of the coronavirus virus, a sizable number of U.S. voters think the Asian giant needs to pay up for some of the losses the virus has caused. But there’s little war talk so far.
Forty-seven percent (47%) of Americans said in mid-February that the media tends to make the outbreak of diseases like coronavirus sound worse than they really are. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagreed, while 18% were not sure.

UPDATED, 9:30 p.m. PT — There’s been a second death in the U.S., in Seattle, and a first case detected in New York City. (CNBC)
Over the weekend the global death toll from the coronavirus hit nearly 3,000, including the first death on U.S. soil, in Seattle, according to health officials.
As of Sunday evening, there were at least 74 cases in the U.S., including the first case in New York, according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Meanwhile, in California, two health care workers are presumed to be positive for the virus. Both were exposed to a patient, who last week was diagnosed as the first community transmission of the virus, at NorthBay VacaValley Hospital.
Over in Italy, officials announced Sunday that the number of cases skyrocketed on Sunday to 1,694, with 806 new cases, for a 91-percent increase in a single day. (ABC News)
- Remember to thoroughly wash your hands and try not to touch your face.
- Health officials say you only need to wear a mask if you’re already sick.
- It was a joke on Saturday Night Live, but Dr. Ben Carson really has been added to Donald Trump‘s task force to battle the coronavirus.

The cost-of-living crisis has been stampeding towards us for the best part of a year and the continuing hike in energy bills and food and other basic living costs, is becoming the new – miserable – normal. It feels tougher now more than ever, perhaps because of the recent drastic drop in temperature which was, of course, inevitable but easy not to think about a few months back, as we entered a succession of heatwaves and the first ‘normal’ summer since the beginning of the pandemic.
This crisis is impacting us all, albeit some more than others, and so I’m sure even the most financially comfortable among us are cutting back where they can, but is it enough? Only, pausing that less than £4 monthly subscription to a newspaper, cancelling a streaming service (£9pcm) I use slightly less than another one and not buying coffee when I’m out of the house all day doesn’t seem to be making the dent I hoped it might, and I’m running out of memberships to cancel. So, what do I do? Surely, it’s a simple case of making more money. Great. How? When?
You see, I am a freelance jobbing actor and theatre maker (90% administration and fundraising, 10% making theatre), a playwright and a copywriter and blogger. I’m fortunate to have – at least since February of last year – made most of my income from these areas. Of course, other years this is not the case and so I have a collection of ‘day jobs’ to keep me afloat too. I work for several organisations as a facilitator and teacher, and as a nanny. In addition to these, the moment the first lockdown ended, I got a job in a local pub where I stayed until the beginning of this year because none of my theatre jobs booked in for 2020 had yet been rescheduled, and I also gained employment as a dog sitter and walker which saw me through the best part of 2021. I say this, not because I’m showing off about my ability to keep a dog off the sofa with a baby under one arm and pour a round of drinks with the other, but because it feels important to stress that I am not afraid to work. That isn’t the reason I’m now, almost a year since I went back to being 100% freelance, struggling to make ends meet. The reason is, despite still working the majority of the aforementioned jobs, some of which are very well paid, my living costs – like yours too, I’m sure – have increased exponentially. And it’s affecting my ability to invest in my career, a necessity for any freelancer, my ability to focus on my practice and do the work I want to be doing, the work I have spent thousands of pounds and hours training to do, and which I’m very good at doing. Work like writing pieces such as this!
Take the money I would usually spend on entertainment for instance. Aside from cancelling memberships to the already few streaming services I subscribe to, I’m currently seeing a lot less theatre than I normally would. There are shows I want to see but if I can’t find a good enough deal on tickets or if I’m offered an even ‘ok-paid’ gig, I’m forced to choose to do that instead whereas before, I had the luxury of choosing to turn the odd gig down, sometimes in favour of an even worse paid one, but one which would be more creatively fulfilling. Now, I’m
turning enjoyable day jobs down for slightly better paid but less enthralling ones – not quite the direction I saw my career heading in 10 years in. Thankfully, I do have a prepaid annual membership to a cinema which allows me to see an unlimited number of movies which I make good use of whenever I can. But even that feels finite; the cinema chain I’m a member of reported financial issues earlier this year so I am in no doubt it will need to raise its membership prices in the new year, maybe to an amount I can’t currently justify paying.
Now, you’d be forgiven for not reaching for your tiny violins just yet, but as much as I love watching theatre, TV and films. It’s also my job; it’s research, it’s keeping my fingers on the pulse and an eye on what’s happening in my industry so I’m not completely out of the loop when I’m invited to audition or pitch for projects. Entertainment is a necessary cost I’ve always budgeted for but over the last few months, even working non-stop, often multiple jobs at once, I’ve gotten to the end of a month, paid my bills and rent etc. and had little or nothing left to spend on a single theatre ticket.
But, say I get that meeting, or I book an audition for my dream job, the excitement only lasts a few minutes before I’m reminded to factor in my weekly travel costs which the prices of, even with a railcard I have for one more year, leaves a gross amount to be desired. It’s fine, or at least manageable if you can book jobs, meetings and errands back-to-back in a day but this leaves less time to prepare for each job or meeting; learning multiple pages of script, planning lessons or putting together comprehensive presentations or documents. And that’s not forgetting how time-consuming the admin behind trying to make all these things line up can be! There is of course one positive to paying for travel between commitments; if you’re out all day, your energy bills might dip a bit.
I’m afraid there just isn’t much positive to say about the current economic crisis and its effect on arts workers, especially just shy of a month after the announcement of further astronomical cuts being made across the UK theatre industry. I appreciate this is a tough read with not much let up but unfortunately, for now at least, it’s mine, and so many of my friends’ and colleagues’ reality. Friends and colleagues who are brilliant and talented and good at making relevant, urgent, and entertaining work but who are struggling to keep making it. And these are people who have at least some foundations in the industry; each day opportunities for the next generation of artists graduating into the current crisis are being slashed.
A lack of good quality art made by financially respected and supported, well-nourished and mentally fit artists isn’t just affecting those working in the industry; it affects anybody who engages with entertainment and art, and the impact of this crisis will soon be visible in the content you watch or read if things don’t change. You will see less new faces, and hear fewer new stories – because we can’t afford to write them!

TIFF announces Writers’ Studio Class of 2024
TIFF has unveiled the lineup for the 2024 Writers’ Studio, an annual program fostering the next generation of storytellers. This year marks the 13th edition of the collaborative, five-day intensive lab, designed to empower Canadian and international screenwriters and writer-directors. From a pool of more than 200 submissions, TIFF has selected a cohort Zhannat Alshanova, Aram Collier, Rebecca Fisseha, Sophie Jarvis, Amy Trefry, and Asia Youngman.
The Writers’ Studio is a space to consolidate skills, exchange ideas, and navigate challenges, while participating in workshops, artist talks, peer-to-peer mentorships, and one-on-one project development consultations guided by industry experts. Writers’ Studio will take place April 15–19, 2024, at TIFF Lightbox.
“Programs like the Writers’ Studio continue to ignite and drive talent, both in Canada and on the global stage,” said Anita Lee, Chief Programming Officer, TIFF. “At TIFF, our commitment to fostering new talent will continue to grow with a focus on providing industry expertise and unparalleled access to industry leaders, ensuring the program’s enduring impact year after year.”
This year’s lab will support the development of feature-film scripts through dedicated one-on-one discussions with international story consultants Trey Ellis and Christina Lazaridi.

Thread: UT3 site gets massive update
UT3 site gets massive update
The official Unreal Tournament website has been updated with a lot of new content such as new vehicles, weapons and characters information, and more.
Although not completely finished, you can still continue to download movies and view high-resolution screen shots. Below you will find some screen shots that we didn't have along with a new concept art image titled "Dusk".
Unreal Tournament 3 is actually the fourth game in the Unreal Tournament series, but has been numbered in terms of the engine it runs on. The original Unreal Tournament uses the first Unreal Engine, while UT2003 and UT2004 uses Unreal Engine 2. Since both UT2K3 and UT2K4 use the same engine, they are considered to be the same generation.
User designed levels will be downloadable for the PlayStation 3 console via the Playstation Store. Unfortunately, gamers with the console version will not be able to design levels without having the PC version, as the console version does not include the level editor.
USB Keyboard and mouse controls will also be supported for the PS3 version. The PS3 version will allow the administrator of the server to allow keyboard and mouse or only Sixaxis remote. The motion-sensitive Sixaxis controller will allow aiming by tilting the controller.

Connecting state and local government leaders
States have until Sept. 4 to tell the IRS if they’re interested in participating.
States will have the chance to collaborate with the IRS on how they may integrate with the agency’s forthcoming direct file pilot.
In a July 16 letter to the Federation of Tax Administrators, which serves state tax collection agencies, IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel wrote that the tax agency is “interested in continuing to learn from states directly, and from [Federation of Tax Administrators], about the challenges they may face when integrating with a Direct File pilot, be they technological, policy-driven or other concerns.”
States that want to be involved in the pilot have until Sept. 4 to tell the IRS, the letter states.
Announced in May, the forthcoming pilot of a government-owned, online system for taxpayers in the 2024 filing season to file returns directly with the government is a shift from the status quo, although the agency is not committing to making the pilot a permanent offering. The tax agency has had an agreement with tax prep companies to offer free filing services to most taxpayers since the early 2000’s.
How the online tool will work vis-a-vis state tax filing, however, is still an open question.
Most taxpayers expect to be able to file state and federal tax returns at the same time. An IRS study on the feasibility of a direct file tool run by the government found that “a material number of taxpayers would be interested in a free IRS-provided direct e-filing tool, but substantially more so if that product included a state tax filing component,” Werfel wrote.
But accounting for that in the pilot is still up in the air.
“There are a range of questions here for the IRS to consider, including paramount security of taxpayer data and requirements of 6103 taxpayer privacy protection,” Natasha Sarin, a former counselor to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and deputy assistant secretary for economic policy in the Treasury Department—now an associate professor of law at Yale Law School―previously told Nextgov/FCW, referencing the law that limits disclosures of return information.
For now, Werfel wrote that the IRS is finalizing its plans for how the pilot will work in regards to states.
“Over the next several weeks, we will finalize our plans for state tax integration and pilot strategy so that we can focus on the technical aspects involved in testing a potential new filing option for taxpayers and state tax administrators,” he wrote.


Life is hard, few people would argue that point, though what makes it hard is always a topic for discussion. Stress, work, the whole “hell is other people” thing, it all feeds into the need to occasionally just take a break and escape from it all. I’ve told some of my students that the way that I deal with them after a long day of teaching college freshmen is to go home, turn on my Xbox, and play Payday 2.
That’s the reason we play these kinds of games, why we hop onto various and sundry online games and blow each other away and perform acts that would likely get us imprisoned, or at the very least deported. But that’s obviously not what games are for. It’s been suggested that games are becoming the new literature, a form of storytelling that demands interactivity, yet at the same time follows the same paths to the same expected point. While the Limbos and Braids and Bastions and Journeys of the gaming world have been tugging at our heartstrings and also making us believe that we were lucky to not be eviscerated by spiders during our childhood, another new genre has been creeping out of the indie market in the last few years: the so-called “empathy game”.

The type of brain cells called astrocytes can influence social behaviors and the sense of fear. These are the results of the study carried out by Dr Łukasz M. Szewczyk and Prof. Marta B. Wiśniewska from the UW’s Centre of New Technologies in cooperation with an international team of researchers. The article discussing the research was published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Dr Łukasz M. Szewczyk (the UW’s Centre of New Technologies, the University of California San Francisco) and Prof. Marta B. Wiśniewska (the Centre of New Technologies) have conducted together with Prof. Anna V. Molofsky from the UC San Francisco the research on the cells in the nervous system called astrocytes.
The results of the study regarding the influence of astrocytes on social behaviour have been published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry in the article “Astrocytic β-catenin signaling via TCF7L2 regulates synapse development and social behavior”.
“The influence of astrocytes on social behaviour can occur through modulation of neuronal activity – more specifically, regulation of the number of synapses, as well as stimulation or silencing of synapses by factors expressed by astrocytes,” Dr Łukasz Szewczyk says.
A mutation induced in astrocytes of mouse pups resulted in atypical responses to social stimuli in adult mice, e.g. an increase in social interaction was observed.
“By increasing the number of synapses in the cortex, astrocytes – in the autism model we created – caused mice to interact more eagerly and frequently with strangers, suggesting a reduction in anxiety and fear. The disturbances in complex social behaviours may stem from impairments in astrocytic networks, and therefore, astrocytes might be a new target in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum or schizophrenia,” Dr Szewczyk explains.
The article is available in open access on the website of Molecular Psychiatry.
Szewczyk, L.M. et al. “Astrocytic β-catenin signaling via TCF7L2 regulates synapse development and social behavior”, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-023-02281-y.

Now this is a real thing – “permanent supportive housing” is the name (or description) of the services given to chronically homeless people who are participating in a “Housing First” program. Whenever chronically homeless people are placed in a “Housing First” program, they are NOT then abandoned and expected to figure the rest out by themselves. (Some critics of ‘Housing First” will accuse the program of this very thing, of abandoning the homeless once they are housed, but it’s just not true.) When I was accepted into a “Housing First” program, I was introduced to the team of case managers who would be assisting me, before I was ever placed in housing. Actually it was this team who secured my SRO for me. And this took some time.
This team of case managers, along with my SRO, comprised my permanent supportive housing. This sometimes goes by other names as well – Wrap Around Services – Continuum of Care – although they are not always so “permanent”. The “permanent” part is necessary for the care of chronically homeless people because it has been determined that the chronically homeless will never possess the skills necessary for truly independent living – without this care they will most certainly return to the streets.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 has made it known that is has quite a number of sensors inside its Galaxy S4 smart phone. Some of these include the on board barometer and temperature/humidity sensor.
Samsung has revealed that there are a total of nine sensors on board its latest flagship smartphone and detailed their roles in phone’s features via an info-graphic (photo from Sinful Android).
Most of the modern smartphones come with some common sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and proximity sensor, which are necessary to provide some practical features, but Samsung has taken it to a whole new level.
Despite these number of sensors, the battery-backup of the phone will not be affected.
After a few days of using Ice Cream Sandwich in my Samsung Galaxy S2, I can say that it is more than worth it. Though not totally. Why did I say not totally? Let me point out the pros and cons that I have experienced so far.
Excellent battery life. No matter how long I play, the battery does not get drained quickly unlike Gingerbread.
Fast charging. I noticed charging does not take forever compared to before.
You can disable useless apps easily even when your phone is not rooted.
I think there is only one flaw that I can jot down. And this problem still persisted from when I first had my Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread OS. Why the hell did they not unify the system and internal USD partition? I still am limited to 2GB of apps and games to install.
It would have been nice if users can move the installed data to its internal USD partition. The “move to SD Card” option under Settings > Application does not work and is only good if you have an external USD card added to your phone. The label is so misleading!
I am against using custom ROM since it would just make any Android smart phone ordinary and not unique. Because Samsung still did the same stupid thing by not unifying the partitions, I am definitely awaiting the time that Cyanogen Mod 9 will come out.
Not so Pro+Con
This falls as an in between. I would have liked it if Samsung changed their user interface a bit. Instead, it is the same TouchWiz display with only a few minor tweaks in other user interface areas like the Task Manager.
So is Samsung’s Ice Cream Sandwich stock ROM worth it? Depends on your usage. If you like to install many apps and games, this is crap. But if you are not much of a gamer and just want to do social networking, then the ICS stock ROM should be okay.

Through My Eyes is working to inspire change and create a shift in the narrative surrounding persons with disabilities in Kenya. One way we intend to achieve this is to build an inclusive play center for disabled kids. This center will hold up to 250 kids and be a warm, welcoming home where the kids will receive personalized care with the intent of improving their personal, social & emotional skills. We are intent in making sure that a child with a disability lives to their full potential.
In my country Kenya, a child living with a disability is seen as bad luck or a curse. This means they are locked up, kept away from the rest of the community and the world. This action tends to affect them physically, psychological and socially. Through My Eyes would like to nurture the talents of all brilliant children living with disabilities. We are using storytelling, puppets and play to nurture the full potential of children with disabilities by teaching them social and emotional skills.
At Through My Eyes, we first empower individuals with the rights skills and tools to understand the different needs of children living with disabilities. These individuals create appropriate activities based on the needs of the children then work together either individually or collectively with the children to impart them with social and emotional skills through that they can use to discover their gifts and talents to reach their fullest potential. Thanks to your donation we can make it happen
Through My Eyes would like to support 250 children living with disabilities to discover their true talents and potential. We envision creating a place which will serve as a safe space and refuge to be their best selves free from societal judgement. At the Play Center, they can use their talents to generate income for themselves, inspire other people and rise out of poverty. The community will also begin to value their children with disabilities and nurture them instead of locking them up.

INFINITE LIST OF MY FAVORITES FILMMAKERS △ Stanley Kubrick"I can’t honestly say what led me to make any of my films. The best I can do is to say I just fell in love with the stories. Going beyond that is a bit like trying to explain why you fell in love with your wife: she’s intelligent, has brown eyes, a good figure. Have you really said anything? Since I am currently going through the process of trying to decide what film to make next, I realize just how uncontrollable is the business of finding a story, and how much it depends on chance and spontaneous reaction. You can say a lot of "architectural" things about what a film story should have: a strong plot, interesting characters, possibilities for cinematic development, good opportunities for the actors to display emotion, and the presentation of its thematic ideas truthfully and intelligently. But of course, that still doesn’t really explain why you chose something, nor does it lead you to a story. You can only say that you probably wouldn’t choose a story that doesn’t have most of those qualities."
“The lasting and ultimately most important reputation of a film is not based on reviews, but on what, if anything, people say about it over the years, and on how much affection for it they have.”
Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999)

George C. Scott and Stanley Kubrick playing chess on the set of Dr. Strangelove. Scott had an extremely volatile personality (he was renowned for bar brawls and heavy drinking) and Kubrick played chess with him between takes in order to ”tame him”. James Earl Jones said it was a way for Kubrick to prove himself to Scott, who fancied himself as a good chess player. Scott lost the first game to Kubrick. From there on Scott respected Kubrick and his vision.
