Did you know that Bison uses Blockchain technology? No, we are not harvesting Dogecoins… No, we are not converting Bison store bucks to a crypto currency.
Yes, we are integrated with Walmart Canada and DLT labs, DL Asset Track (DLAT).
“DL Asset Track uses blockchain to enable trust between two or more companies that must use the same information to do business. Scalable and modular, the uniquely secure platform establishes a ‘single source of truth’, allowing authorized users access to accurate, real-time records. Production-ready, the technology seamlessly integrates with legacy systems to capture complex business logic and enables smart contract automation.”
The DLAT platform enables Walmart Canada and its network of carriers to automate proof of delivery and freight invoice reconciliation. Bison was a key part of the design, testing and proof of concept for their interface.
According to Rod Hendrickson, VP Finance, Bison Transport, "Great partners find innovative ways to create business solutions that benefit both parties. The blockchain initiative we worked on with Walmart and DLT Labs is just that – a mutually beneficial solution that works well for Bison Transport and Walmart Canada. This project is a new paradigm that will greatly improve workflows, reduce paperwork, and make the business we do with Walmart more efficient."
It’s all about the details; inside the DLAT the system houses the Walmart and Bison rules for partnership (things like fuel rates, lane data, locations, address’ etc.). After Walmart order entry (EDI) from Walmart’s interface, the loads are integrated to the DLAT Blockchain. In there, they instantly create a pro-forma digital invoice using the partnership rules.
On Walmart loads, all of Bison’s GPS tracking data is integrated with DLAT. Once Bison has entered the Walmart order data, we use Wolverine (our Bison tool to interface with the DLAT) to compare the values of the invoice to ensure everything matches (rate, fuel, miles etc.). From within this tool Bison can accept and dispute invoices and submit for additional charges.
Oh yeah and in case you are wondering: Bison’s balance sheet improved by a factor of millions of dollars in the process.

Enter your address here to see your elected officials' positions on Alzheimer's and ways you can contact them to support the Alzheimer's community.
California recently completed two efforts toward improving how the state addresses Alzheimer’s. The California’s Governor’s Task Force on Alzheimer’s Prevention, Preparedness and the Path Forward, chaired by former California First Lady Maria Shriver, presented recommendations to Governor Gavin Newsom in late 2020. The Task Force was charged with examining how Alzheimer’s disease disproportionately impacts women and people of color, and identifying the unique opportunities that California brings through its diverse populations and universities to research and develop solutions to address those underrepresented communities. Recommendations include appointing a senior advisor to coordinate all Alzheimer’s-related agency efforts; establishing an Alzheimer’s Disease public awareness campaign to educate the public about dementia, prevention, symptoms, diagnosis and treatments; and developing a statewide standard of care to standardize how healthcare practitioners identify, screen and diagnose for dementia. The full report is available on the task force website.
In early 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom and the Administration released a 10-year blueprint to guide planning, investment and action on behalf of people with disabilities and older adults, including the 2.3 million Californians currently impacted by Alzheimer’s and all dementia. Working alongside consumers and providers, the Alzheimer’s Association advocated for key recommendations in the Master Plan for Aging to prepare California for a staggering 22 percent increase in the population affected by 2025. The Master Plan for Aging integrates the work of the Governor’s Alzheimer’s Prevention and Preparedness Task Force.
The Alzheimer's Association was represented on both task forces by Susan DeMarois, Director of Public Policy for the Alzheimer's Association's California chapters.
Equip Physicians with Dementia-Training to Increase Timely Diagnosis and Improve Care
Approximately 50% of people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias never receive a formal diagnosis. This limits their ability to engage in care planning and access available resources. Physicians and other medical professionals are on the front lines in addressing this critical issue, but we must ensure they have the training they need to make a diagnosis or referral to best serve their patient. The Alzheimer’s Association is calling on state legislators to support Senate Bill 48 to establish dementia training standards for physicians, physician assistants and social workers. With this change, more Californians with memory issues can be appropriately screened for cognitive impairment. 690,000 individuals are living with Alzheimer's in California today, and yet less than half of them have been given a diagnosis. Too often we hear the story of individuals who waited one, five, even ten years to receive a diagnosis, and how that delay impacted individual's quality of life. He
California State Plan Overview
In 2008, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 491 calling for the development of a state plan. Under the direction of the California Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Advisory Committee, established within the California Health and Human Services Agency, a task force was created including representatives from state agencies, community organizations, under-represented communities, and academia as well as health care providers, caregivers, and individuals living with the disease. After incorporating public feedback to address California's culturally diverse population, the Task Force published California's State Plan for Alzheimer's Disease: An Action Plan for 2011-2021 in early 2011.

The cost of caring for those with Alzheimer's and other dementias is estimated to total $305 billion in 2020, increasing to $1.1 trillion (in today's dollars) by mid-century. Nearly 1 in 3 seniors who dies each year has Alzheimer's or another dementia.

NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATION 1
NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATION 2
Nursing Home Administration
The National Association of Boards of Examiners for Long Term Care Administrators (NABELCA) developed five fields of practice for nursing home administration in the 1980s. As a result, administrators in the nursing home industry are increasingly able to transition between working in places like assisted living centers and life care communities. Life care community administrators earn more than their counterparts in assisted living facilities, but their incomes are on par with those of nursing home administrators.
Even though technology can make nursing homes more efficient in terms of both patient care and management, effective leadership may be even more crucial. nursing homes require “transformational leadership,” which they define as leaders that consistently look for new solutions, know how to delegate duties effectively, and elicit feedback from others.
By coordinating the efforts of various services, software and hardware solutions may guarantee that each patient receives the individualized attention they require (Sworn & Booth, 2020). For instance, electronic health records (EHRs) facilitate communication between doctors, nurses, and other medical staff as well as between patients and their loved ones.
In 2020, cybersecurity will still be one of the most pressing issues for healthcare administration heads. And the attackers are getting more strategic and intelligent. Health system administrators were preoccupied with COVID-19 and other urgent matters in the first half of 2020, providing cybercriminals with a window of opportunity.
Isolation and loneliness may become more pronounced at a nursing home, depending on the resident’s health. The negative consequences of social isolation and loneliness on the physical and mental health are exacerbated in the elderly, especially those with cognitive impairment.
Limitations on one’s autonomy. A major drawback of nursing home life is the loss of personal autonomy, including the right to make and act on one’s own decisions and to engage in activities of daily living. It’s possible for people living in a nursing home to feel helpless after they give up their autonomy (Thompson, 2020). Constant supervision of the elderly can be a hindrance to their freedom to pursue interests outside of work.
Dietitians and nutritionists in nursing homes may make sure their patients get the nourishment they need to be at their best.
For the elderly, routines will be more regimented. This means that kids will be able to engage in normal life activities like eating, bathing, and socializing during the allotted hours. Because of the routines that work for them, they will feel a lot more energized.
Taking part in physical pursuits. Residents are encouraged to participate in and get to know one another through a variety of daily social activities facilitated by medical professionals. As a result, seniors can enjoy the pleasures of social life and receive the best possible round-the-clock care.

My letter to the SouthtownStar:
How tied to Illinois’ Speaker of the House, Michael Madigan, are local south-suburban Democratic legislators? Residents throughout Southland are about to find out. In the coming days, Illinois Legislators will be headed to Springfield to yet again attempt to fix the State’s spiraling budget deficit. Central to the Legislature’s focus will undoubtedly include passing a Madigan-led pension reform package.
Speaker Madigan has spelled out his recipe for pension reform several times through the local media: “My position on pension reform is that we have to eliminate the free lunch for local districts,” he states.
What he is referring to is his proposed “cost-shift” plan, which would defer the responsibility of funding the pension system onto local school districts. By skirting what has historically been a duty of the State of Illinois, Madigan will be forcing us, the local taxpayers, to pay for the

The split system air conditioning could be recognized to begin in Japan and has been established not too long ago in some other countries around the world including Australia.
This sort of air cooling product is largely used by educational institutions, dining areas, family, office buildings, auditoriums, in addition to concert halls. They're also called mini-split kinds together with main systems using two devices. Check out the post right here to know more about split system air conditioners.
One of the components is known as the air-handling unit, including the fan and evaporator. Another unit is termed the converter together with the condenser.
The converter in addition to the condenser, that's believed to be one unit is usually positioned away from part of the setup. However, the fan and evaporator are positioned inside the section of the installation. Both devices, rather, are usually associated with using a station, which comprises the tube, drain, and electrical power cable.
Besides being easy to set up, the split system ac equipment or little separated kind has the capability to supply zone ac service, which might help out with preserving power. This may be achieved by way of its thermostat, which will help manage the regions separately.
An additional advantage of miniature split kinds is actually that they have a tendency to be quick to establish. They simply don't need any type of ductwork on walls. Furthermore, they will bring in a whole lot lower sound in comparison with other kinds of air cooling apparatus. They also are for sale in a variety of styles that may match any sort of indoor.


Los Angeles, CA — Michael Jackson’s youngest brother and three of his siblings have called Michael Jackson’s will a fake. Randy Jackson wrote a letter to the Jackson estate executors, asking them to resign. The one thing he hasn’t done is challenge the will in court. The only people who received money in Michael’s will were his mother and his three children — Prince, 15; Paris, 14; and Blanket, 10. Experts say even if the will was invalid, there would be no change in how the money has been distributed. California law requires the estate to benefit the children. The will signed in 2002 is a five-page document and many provisions are set out in a trust. The will was signed on July 7, 2002 in Los Angeles with the signatures of three witnesses. The problem is there is proof that Michael Jackson was in New York on that day and not in Los Angeles. Any challenge to the will should have been filed within four months of it being accepted into probate. That occurred in November of 2009. If you have a significant amount of wealth, it is important that you prepare a will or trust, so your estate is distributed the way you want after your death. Contact a Los Angeles estate planning attorney to draw up your will.

Califf Closes In On Reprising His FDA Role After Senate Committee Hearing

The mystery aircraft in our last issue was Britain's Miles Master advanced trainer. The Royal Air Force, Fleet Air Arm and South African Air Force used hundreds of these aircraft, which were functional and useful, if not exactly pretty. Some 3,227 were built. Our photos depict the M.27 Master TMk-3 version.
As our "name the plane" contest arrives at the quarter-century mark, it's time to fess up. When we started this feature in 1989, we didn't keep a list. Once in a long time, we've goofed and used the same aircraft more than once. That appears to be the case with the Master.
The first production M.9 Master TMk-1 made its maiden flight on March 31, 1939. It was a derivative of an aircraft called the Kestrel and relied on an engine with the same name, the 715-horsepower (535 kW) Rolls-Royce Kestrel 30.
Subsequently versions included the M.9 Master II with a Bristol Mercury engine and the M.27 Master III with a Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior. All were similar in appearance except for differences in the shape of the cowling. A single-seat fighter version with the rear seat removed and with six .303-cal. Browning machine guns in the wings was not successful. Trainer versions had one forward-firing gun mounted in the port wing.
The Master was fast, strong and fully aerobatic. It was credited with a maximum speed of 260 miles per hour, a service ceiling of 28,000 feet and a range of 393 miles. In the two-seat tandem cockpit the instructor in the rear seat sat higher than the student and had an excellent view of the student's handling of the controls. According to the Royal Air Force Museum, some 15,000 British Commonwealth pilots completed flight training at the controls of the Master.
In a 1997 interview, author Bill Gunston, a former RAF pilot, said the Master "certainly wasn't any AT-6 Texan"--also used by the Commonwealth--but was, "a frugal and sensible aircraft to have, designed on fairly short notice and used widely."
Our "History Mystery" winner is Michael LeGendre of Chaparral, New Mexico, who takes the prize for the second time. Michael will receive a copy of "Mission to Berlin," a history of B-17 Flying Fortress bomber crews in World War II.
But what about you? Will you enter our next contest?
This Issue's Mystery Plane
Several readers have asked if our puzzler-plane challenge could be made a little easier (this is the fun part of the magazine, remember). So let's see if you can identify our new History Mystery. Remember the rules:
1. Submit your entry via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.org. Entries may also be sent via postal mail in any format to Robert F. Dorr, 3411 Valewood Drive, Oakton VA 22124.
2. Write a sentence about the aircraft shown here. Include your address and telephone number. One contest entrant had to be disqualified this time around because she did not include a phone number.
3. A winner will be chosen at random from among correct entries and will receive an aviation book.
And by all means, weigh in. Would you like this feature to continue? If so, dig into those historical treasures in your attic or basement. Dig out your slide or snapshot of a rare aircraft and lend it to Air Power History for this contest.

CYENS Centre of Excellence in Nicosia, Cyprus, focuses on emerging technologies and interactive media to move the region forward through academic research and innovation. One way it’s doing that is through building the iNicosia flagship project, a digital twin of the divided capital city connecting the city’s smart infrastructure and IoT data, visualized in CesiumJS.
CYENS, funded by the European Union, is a joint venture among the University of Cyprus, Cyprus University of Technology, Open University of Cyprus, the Municipality of Nicosia, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and University College London. Work on iNicosia began in 2018, and the push to immersive 3D and the desire to share information widely made Cesium the right fit for the accurate, interactive model of the city.
iNicosia incorporates highly detailed 3D models created by the team using both terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry and laser scans, time-series data, smart city and IoT data, and Bing Maps Aerial imagery and Cesium World Terrain to present Nicosia accurately and digitally: city landmarks and monuments, road networks, environmental data, vegetation, and other facets of daily life for residents, tourists, and businesses. CYENS stores iNicosia data on Cesium ion, where it is also tiled into 3D Tiles for streaming and sharing in CesiumJS. Architects, land registries, researchers, government agencies, and the public can share and access data in iNicosia.
For some particularly high-definition reconstructions and animations, CYENS uses Cesium for Unreal to combine graphics rendering power and accurate geospatial context.
The quality of 3D reconstruction is especially important to the CYENS team, with a focus on cultural heritage and even an eye on reunifying the city, which has been divided since the 1970s. With the ability to share information and ideas through Cesium-based iNicosia, the communities on the island can collaborate.

Of the 100 temples announced by President Russell M. Nelson since becoming President of the Church in January 2018, the following totals show their current status following April 2022 general conference:
- Scheduled for dedication — 2
- Under construction — 32
- Scheduled for groundbreaking — 8
- With site announced and rendering released — 11
- In planning and development — 47
- Total — 100
Frequency over tenure
President Nelson was ordained and set apart as Prophet and President of the Church on Jan. 14, 2018; on April 2, 2022, he announced temple locations number 84 through number 100.
That’s 100 temples over 1,541 days as Church president — a rate of a temple announced nearly every two weeks. Or a rate of two temples a month during the just-under 51 months of his tenure.
When he became President of the Church, there were 182 total temples — in operation, under construction or announced. In the time since, he has personally announced 100 of the Church’s now 282 total temples — or 35.5 percent.

- April 2021 general conference — Smithfield (groundbreaking is scheduled for the Smithfield Utah Temple)
- May 1, 2021 — Ephraim (site location and exterior rendering released for the Ephraim Utah Temple)
- October 2021 general conference — Heber Valley (still in planning and approval stages)

Despite being the President who has deported the most illegal aliens in history–a policy hugely unpopular with Hispanics–Barack Obama is the strong preference among Hispanics in the 2012 election. They may not be overly enthusiastic about Obama but they aren’t running to Mitt Romney yet either. however, despite Barack Obama’s statements to the contrary, he has not always supported comprehensive immigration reform. In fact, he worked vigorously to kill it in 2007. Bill McGurn in the Wall Street Journal recounts how Obama injected himself into the 2007 legislative sausage making and jumped on a “poison pill” amendment that killed immigration reform:
The short story is that the immigration bill was the work of a small, bipartisan group of senators. Late in the game, Mr. Obama joined the process, where he asked for (and received) changes in the bill. Yet when the legislation moved forward, Mr. Obama backed a series of poison-pill amendments. One was pushed by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D., N.D.) to weaken the guest-worker program. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.) was outraged because he knew this amendment was really organized labor’s effort to kill the immigration bill, not to help workers. “Who is the senator from North Dakota trying to fool?” Mr. Kennedy snapped from the Senate floor.
Mr. Obama voted “yea” on the Dorgan amendment. We know he knew it was a deal-killer because several senators had said so (Sen. Jim DeMint, who had voted “nay” on an earlier version, switched his vote for precisely that reason). Thus Mr. Obama pulled off a trifecta: appeasing Big Labor while telling Latinos he supported the bill and blaming Republicans for its failure…What makes Mr. Obama’s 2007 Senate vote so galling—and different from that of others who voted the same way—was that his support for the poison pills betrayed the bipartisan group of senators who had let him in on the writing of the bill.
By no means was the death of immigration reform done at the hands of only the then-Senator from Illinois. But he was a principal in the unraveling of the most successful effort to that point. Having not lifted a finger on behalf of Hispanics since entering the White House while achieving record-breaking deportations, Hispanics have a lot to think about in November before backing the immigration reform killer again.


In this sleepy country town, which sprang up around a railroad junction and the start of the Chisholm Trail, folks give out their phone numbers by the last four digits, the annual Tom-Tom festival culminates with the crowning of the Tomato King and Queen, and everybody knows Doc Watson.
Over the last 50 years, the tall and lanky family practitioner delivered a good many of the town’s residents and doctored most of the others.
Earlier this month, Dr. David Watson received the Country Doctor of the Year award, which honors a primary care physician who best exemplifies the spirit of rural practitioners. The award is given out by Staff Care, the largest physician staffing service in the country, which hopes to attract more young doctors to family practice.
“I never wanted to be anything other than a family doctor,” Watson said as he sat in the hospital cafeteria on a recent December day. Pork chops and chicken fried steak (“good home cooking,” noted Watson) were on the menu, a reminder of the small-town atmosphere that drew the Baylor College of Medicine graduate to Yoakum in 1958.
The doctor’s bag he brought with him is now frayed at the seams and tattooed with scratches and stains, the scars of countless moments of birth, death and recovery. In the process he has gotten to know several generations of patients in this town of 6,000 about 100 miles east of San Antonio.
“He’s always right there when you need him,” said Karen Barber, CEO of Yoakum Community Hospital, where a wing is named after Watson.
Like country doctors and house calls, family practitioners are a disappearing breed. In 1998, half of the medical graduates in the U.S. went into primary care. In 2006, that number had dropped to 38 percent. Most graduates now prefer to go into higher-paying specialties such as dermatology or anesthesiology.
That never appealed to Watson, who grew up the son of a Methodist minister in eastern Texas.
At 78, he still sees up to 30 patients a day at Yoakum Medical Clinic, the office where he has worked for half a century. He visits another 30 patients during daily rounds at the hospital and a local nursing home, treats children at Bluebonnet Youth Ranch and continues to make house calls.

Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran
He Does't Look Like He Is From Around HereVisited Iran in 2010 on a small 4 person tour. There were numerous highlights, not the least of which were the Iranian people. They were very friendly even to a group from the United States. While on the way to visit the former residence of the Ayatollah (Imam) Khomeimi in Tehran, we encountered three cats on top of a wall. It seemed as though they were sitting guard over the surrounding area.


Inflation news articles affects everyone, from rising rent to greater heating expenditures, but it is especially difficult for those with limited financial resources.
Consumer prices in March were 8.5 percent higher than a year ago, according to the Labor Department, the largest increase since December 1981.
While no one enjoys paying more for haircuts or hamburgers, rising inflation is particularly difficult for low-income households, whose spending is largely geared toward basics like gasoline and groceries, which have witnessed some of the most significant price increases.
Gas prices have increased by 48 percent in the last year, while grocery prices have increased by 10%.
To begin with, these families’ family budgets are lean, so when inflation eats away at their limited spending power, something has to give.
Take Laura Kemp, a widow in Muldrow, Okla., who claims her heating cost was $306 last month, up from $125 a year ago.
She explains, “I live in a two-bedroom mobile house.” “I’m not sure what’s going on.” It’s becoming bigger every month, and it’s approximately a third of my income.” Kemp feels as if she’s losing ground, with even minor luxuries like a McDonald’s dinner out of reach.
“I’ll have $200 left by the 10th of the month,” she says. “My $200 a month goes into my gas tank now.”
“I’m not going to make it to the end of the month,” she continues. “I can’t even buy a Big Mac right now – a Big Mac meal costs $8.”
Kemp intends to grow a vegetable garden when the weather heats up in the hopes of lowering her food costs. She’s chosen seeds for tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and eggplants, and she’s eyeing part of her brother’s land, which also happens to be where her mobile home is.
Prices are rising everywhere, from groceries to rent.
Charlene Rye, who retired after 28 years in the poultry industry, much of it in chicken-processing factories, is having to make difficult decisions after chicken costs, like everything else in the grocery store, have risen substantially in the last year.
“You have to be a little more cautious in terms of what you cook, make, and buy,” she explains.
Rye has been receiving assistance from a Sallisaw, Oklahoma, food pantry, which has been busier as food prices have risen.
The cost of housing is particularly painful for Terrie Dean. She and her adolescent son are staying in a motel in Sallisaw for the time being. She receives disability income of roughly $1,600 per month, putting an apartment out of reach for the time being.
“They demand the first month’s rent and a deposit, not realizing that’s all this family has,” Dean explained.
Housing costs roughly 45 percent of a family’s income for low-income households, compared to 18 percent for upper-income families. In the last year, the cost of housing has increased by 5%.
Gas prices are notoriously difficult to bear.
Food and transportation are considerably more unequally distributed, accounting for 9% of high-income households’ budgets but 26% of low-income households’.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gasoline prices soared to an all-time high of $4.33 per gallon in March, not accounting for inflation.
Increased gas prices may have an influence on family relationships. Patricia Bridgmon of Chicago had to cut back on trips to her elderly mother in Hammond, Indiana, due to rising energy prices.
“With the gas, it’s simply horrific,” she says. “Three days a week, I generally go to see her.” Because of the gas, it’s now down to one.” Kemp, the widow who has seen her heating expense rise, has reduced her trips to Fort Smith, Ark., roughly 35 minutes from her house in eastern Oklahoma.
“I enjoy visiting art museums and thrift stores, as well as just getting out,” she remarked. “However, I’m no longer able to go.”
Meanwhile, Rye, the retired poultry worker, must consider the cost of going to a larger, farther distant store vs buying closer to home, where costs are greater even in good times.
The Federal Reserve intends to take a strong stance against inflation.
While all Americans are facing rising prices, the impact is borne disproportionately by households with fewer means, according to Brainard. “That is why the most essential challenge we have is to bring inflation down while maintaining a recovery that benefits everyone.”
Last month, the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates in an effort to curb consumer demand and keep prices under control.
The central bank began by gradually increasing interest rates by a quarter percentage point. Markets, on the other hand, foresee the Fed becoming more aggressive, with a half-point hike largely forecast at the next Fed meeting in early May.
Despite predictions that March would be the peak of inflation, consumer prices are expected to continue to rise at an uncomfortably fast rate for the remainder of the year, putting a particular hardship on the families who can least afford it.

Following the 2014 release of their latest album ‘Super Model’, Californian indie pop band Foster The People stopped off in Manchester for a sold out, one off show at The Ritz. It has been a few years since Foster The People last played a show here in Manchester, but with the room filled all the way from front to back with excited faces, they have not lost a single person from their following.
Support for the night came from the talented trio, Prides, from Glasgow who were perfect for getting the audience going. Crowd pleaser ‘The Seeds You Sow’ filled the Ritz with an electronic synth-pop sound featuring rolling drums and repetitious vocals, making it easy for even those who weren’t familiar with the band to sing along. Lyrics ‘oh, there was a time when I was caught up in you’ were relatable for all who have ever been hung up on someone – and let’s face it, that’s most of us.
‘Messiah’ opened with glittering melodies, accompanied by underlying fuzzy electronics. Also featuring repetitive lyrics ‘so say it, say it / say you’ll be my messiah’ makes it another track that’s easy to sing along to. The three members showed great passion in performing on stage, not forgetting to connect with the crowd between the upbeat, danceable songs.
Gracing the audience 25 minutes behind schedule and with much anticipation from the crowd, Foster The People entered stage, kicking off the set with ‘Miss You’ from the 2011 ‘Torches’ debut album. Featuring electrifying instrumentals and sporadic rhythms, accompanied by strobe lighting, you could tell straight away that this was going to be an incredible, well thought out set.
By song number 3, ‘Are You What You Want To Be’, there was a huge amount of energy in the crowd, seemingly brought on by the upbeat melodies comprised of raw guitars and punchy percussion. Fans of all ages began to climb on top of each other shoulders, jumping and yelling the lyrics at the top of their lungs in a hope to be noticed by frontman Mark Foster.
‘Ask Yourself’ brought an acoustic guitar to the stage calming the crowd, but of course, only momentarily. Lyrics ‘And you say that dreamers always get what they desire / Well I’ve found the more I want the less I’ve got / Is this the life you’ve been waiting for? / Or are you hoping that you’ll be where you want with a little more?’ brought a true sense of escapism and an almost ethereal atmosphere alongside the delicately pieced together symphonies and Foster’s dreamy vocal hooks.
A few songs later in a very full set list, ‘Coming of Age’ opened with ringing guitars and a bouncing bass-line that stood out above everything, conjuring a huge reaction from the crowd. This was followed by ‘Houdini’, which conjured an even bigger reaction with it’s shimmering synths and strong vocals, reminiscent of ‘70s disco – not something you expect from a band dubbed as indie pop, but a refreshing sound to the ears of a now extremely chaotic and sweaty audience.
‘Pumped Up Kicks‘ was almost anathematic and by far the most popular of the set. Surf riffs initiated circle mosh pits in the centre of the Ritz, singing the unforgettable hook-line ‘All the other kids with their pumped-up kicks’ along to the instrumentals. This was much to the amusement of Foster as he whistled the tune and announced “Manchester, you guys got some pipes on you, don’t you?”
The closing song for the night was ‘Helena Beat’ and the band left the last notes looping before exiting the stage. At first, it looked like Foster The People were not going to perform an encore as a number of technicians appeared. But this soon changed and the band came back on stage to the cheers of the crowd.
They encored with a mix of old and new, playing ‘Best Friend’ from the latest album and ‘Don’t Stop’ from their debut album. The guitar riffs and licks of ‘Don’t Stop’ had fans throwing drinks from the balconies onto the crowd below, finally bringing out that wild streak that Manchester music lovers are known for in a mass sing-along.
“Manchester, you guys have been incredible tonight. Thank you so much!” said Foster before taking a few snaps of the audience and heading off stage after a more than successful and phenomenally received show.

With these prices, some people in kulmbach who fill up their cars are swallowing. A liter of super E 5 often cost just under 1.50 euros this week. In times of high fuel prices, nothing unusual, but still surprising, because: in the neighboring town of bayreuth, you can fill up a lot cheaper.
While diesel prices have meanwhile come closer together – a liter was recently available in both cities for just over 1.30 euros in some cases – the price range for gasoline is still often very wide. On friday around 12 o’clock there was in bayreuth super E5 for 1.34 euro, the cheapest in kulmbach was the gas station in melkendorf with 1.48 euro. A whopping 14 cent difference.
Commuters who travel between bierstadt and wagnerstadt are amazed every day when they look at the gas station displays. Like wolfram brehm, who travels between bayreuth and kulmbach for his job. "In bayreuth, the liter is often ten cents cheaper. If you fill up there, you can quickly save five euros," emphasized panzer, says brehm, who regularly checks the gasoline app to compare fuel prices. "There were times when gasoline was cheaper in our country. Now we kulmbachers have been left behind for what feels like a quarter of a year." He can’t explain the rough regional price fluctuations.

On the 25 August 2020 at around 01:00am the reception and consulting rooms at the Animal Anti-Cruelty League Johannesburg hospital were broken into for the second time in 48 hours and robbed of a total of 5 computers, a public service TV screen and other items with an estimated cost at over R100 000.00
According to Carren Nickloes, Marketing Manager for the Non-profit organisation, on both occasions the thieves entered the premises by breaking through the perimeter prefab wall and electric fence, gained access through our security doors into the hospital reception.
“On both occasions, they then moved to the hospital consulting rooms to take the computer equipment from each room.” said Nickloes
She added that “We were in the process of fixing the premises from the first break in on Saturday night when they hit us for a second time. Apart from the equipment taken, the damage to the premises is extensive, including our perimeter wall and electric fencing, security gates and internal doors”.
Carren Nickloes has confirmed that a case of robbery was opened at the Moffetview Police Station on both Sunday and Tuesday morning.
To a non-profit welfare organization such as ours – reliant entirely on the generosity and goodwill of the animal loving public, it is tough enough trying to stretch our limited budget far enough to take care of ever-increasing animal welfare needs. As with many businesses and individuals at the moment we have been hit hard by the reduced income due to the impact of COVID19 on the organisation and we just cannot afford this type of setback on top of this. Now more than ever the community is calling on our veterinary services for their animals. Sadly, our clients and community are now being impacted as we have had to close our doors until we are able to replace equipment and can make the premises secure and safe for staff, clients and ultimately the animals.
We acknowledge that the public are struggling financially, but if there is anyone who can assist us in any way, either monetary or otherwise to help with our recovery from this unfortunate incident, we would be sincerely grateful.

He was only 58.
A Silk City native and Clifton resident, Phelan came from a family of responders. His father, Jack, retired as a Paterson police lieutenant. His wife of 15 years, Lourdes (Mercado) Phelan, is a city deputy police chief (inset photo above).
Phelan joined the department in 1983 and hit the streets on patrol the following year.
“We grew up together and our fathers served together on the department," said city Police Capt. Patrick Murray. "This is the only job we ever thought of doing."
Phelan moved up the ranks -- working narcotics and as a detective along the way -- before becoming a patrol captain. He was among the Ground Zero responders on 9/11 and never hesitated to go wherever he was needed.
Many called Phelan the type of supervisor they wanted to work for, a giant gentle giant with a wit that was as quick as his insight was deep.
Phelan was "known for his vast knowledge and equal desire to share that with everyone throughout the department regardless of rank," city Public Safety Director Jerry Speziale said.
He had "an openness and ability to help and communicate with people, one he would routinely utilize to help enhance public safety," the director said.
Phelan never took himself too seriously, either -- a trait that many said made learning from his easy.
The department's longest-serving active member at the time of his death, Phelan "left an indelible mark that will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of the department and community," Speziale said.
Murray agreed. "John touched more people than any of us will ever know," he said.
A department funeral, with honors, was being arranged.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to develop bridge deck concrete materials based on ordinary Portland cement concrete, and to evaluate the applicability of the developed materials through material properties tests. METHODS : For field implementation, raw material (cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate) properties, fresh concrete properties (slump and air content), strength (compressive, flexural and bond strength) gain, and durability (freeze-thaw resistance, scaling resistance, and rapid chloride penetrating resistance) performance were evaluated in the laboratory. RESULTS : For the selected binder content of $410kg/m^3$, W/B = 0.42, and S/a = 0.48, the following material performance results were obtained. Considering the capacity of the deck finisher, a minimum slump of 150 mm was required. At least 6 % of air content was obtained to resist freeze-thaw damage. In terms of strength, 51.28 MPa of compressive strength, 7.41 MPa of flexural strength, and 2.56 MPa of bond strength at 28 days after construction were obtained. A total of 94.9 % of the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw resistance testing and $0.0056kg/m^2$ of weight loss in a scaling resistance test were measured. However, in a chloride ion penetration resistance test, the result of 3,356 Coulomb, which exceeds the threshold value of the standard specification (1000 Coulomb at 56 days) was observed. CONCLUSIONS : Instead of using high-performance modified bridge deck materials such as latex or silica fume, we developed an optimum mix design based on ordinary Portland cement concrete. A test construction was carried out at ramp bridge B (bridge length = 111 m) in Gim Jai City. Immediately after the concrete was poured, the curing compound was applied, and then wet mat curing was applied for 28 days. Considering the fact that cracks did not occur during the monitoring period, the applicability of the developed material is considered to be high.

Green Square is a fast-emerging precinct, where we know this hotel will satisfy the growing demand of corporate and leisure travellers searching for boutique, design-driven, flexible accommodation in a location not currently well supplied in terms of hotels and serviced apartments.”
The Veriu Hotels & Suites brand is set to grow exponentially in the next three years, with Veriu announcing its plans for interstate expansion earlier this year. Veriu will launch into Victoria from 2022 with two projects in Melbourne – the first, Veriu Collingwood, in partnership with Gurner TM, followed by Veriu Queen Victoria Market with Melbourne-based developer PDG Corporation. Together, the two Victorian additions will increase the portfolio to about 600 rooms and apartments operating or in development under the Veriu Brand.
Guests staying at Veriu Green Square will have access to the full suite of top-notch offerings and amenities for which the brand has become increasingly synonymous, delivered with its signature quality and innovative style. As with Veriu’s other 4 properties, the hotel features cleverly configured and contemporary spaces, ranging from sophisticated Hotel Suites (including Accessible Hotel Suites for those with limited mobility) to Studio Micro-Apartments perfectly ‘suited and booted’ for longer stay solo travellers, to Family Micro-Apartments designed to sleep four people comfortably.
Veriu Green Square’s appeal is not just confined to the hotel’s accommodation offering. On-site Italian restaurant, Freddie Green’s, is shaping up to become the destination for big flavour Italian dishes made with fresh, locally sourced produce. With a menu designed by one of Sydney’s most respected chefs, James Metcalfe of JRM Hospitality, Freddie Green’s will provide both Veriu’s guests and local residents with a little taste of Italy right on their doorstep.
The new 144-room hotel is built on the original Australian store site of luxury auto trader, Mercedes-Benz, close to the heart of the new town centre. The hotel was designed by award winning architect, Ashkan Mostaghim, inspired by the history of the site, with various elements paying tribute to the luxury car brand and its products.
Boasting a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, the newly minted suburb of Green Square is expected to undergo rapid expansion in the next few years, with the City of Sydney committing $540 million over the next decade to create world-class community facilities including an innovative new library and plaza, an aquatic centre, a creative hub and more.
Ideally located just two train stops from Sydney Domestic Airport Station, Veriu Green Square also offers direct access to Sydney CBD, only minutes away. With rooms and suites designed to allow guests to ‘live smarter’, not to mention a uniquely cool reception ‘desk’, lobby lounge bar, on-site gym, dedicated workspaces and conference room, the hotel is expected to appeal to both business and leisure travellers looking to settle in Veriu’s latest neighbourhood hotel. Bookings for Veriu Green Square are now open. To book, visit www.veriu.com.au/greensquare.

Gearbox has recently announced that a new Tales from the Borderlands is set to be released this 2022. The new Tales was said to include brand new characters and more adventures to look forward to. The brand new game will also be released by 2K, who was also responsible for the whole Borderlands franchise.
According to Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford, the details of the new Tales will be revealed this summer. Also, in a tweet posted by GearboxOfficial, we can see a teaser image of the new game.
Tales from the Borderlands was initially released by Telltale Games back in 2014. The plot of the game revolved around two characters named Rhys and Fiona, who sought out to open a vault that was full of glimmering treasure.
According to a review posted by IGN, they shared: 'With only a brief introduction to Rhys and Fiona, they have already become a pair of my favorite Telltale characters, and the fantastic final scene of the Zer0 Sum has been anxiously awaiting my return trip to Pandora.' I mean, who wouldn’t like Fiona, she’s an awesome con-artist for crying out loud.
The upcoming Tales game will no longer be handled by Telltale Games since they have previously shut down due to funding issues. Instead, Gearbox Software and 2K will hold responsibility for handling the game.
There isn't much information about the upcoming Tales game since only a teaser was shown. But it's very surprising since the game was only announced recently and is now set to be released this year.
The Borderlands film was released in theaters last year, and it starred a number of well-known actors and actresses, including Black Jack and Cate Blanchett. Tiny Tina's Wonderland, a Borderlands spin-off, was previously released in March.

The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant cannot be compared to Chernobyl, Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation said during a visit to China, suggesting that Tokyo was exaggerating the radiological catastrophe, possibly for financial reasons.
On Tuesday, Japan announced that it rated the ongoing catastrophe at the quake-crippled nuclear plant at a Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) – a designation that puts it as equal to the Chernobyl disaster of 1986.
A Level 7 accident on the INES scale involves “widespread health and environmental effects” and the “external release of a significant fraction of the reactor core inventory.” Japanese nuclear authorities had, until Tuesday, rated the accident at a Level 5.
This level implies a “Limited release of radioactive material likely to require implementation of several planned countermeasures” and “several deaths from radiation” – the same level assigned to the Three Mile Island disaster in the US state of Pennsylvania in 1979.
“It is hard for me to assess why the Japanese colleagues have taken this decision,” to raise the INES level of the accident Kiriyenko told reporters in the southern Chinese city of Sanya on the eve of the BRICS summit, according to Agency France Presse.
Kiriyenko said at first the Japanese authorities had attempted to downplay the scale of the disaster, but now the situation at the plant was improving.
“Our estimates have shown that the [INES] level was between five and six,” Kiriyenko said. “Today it doesn’t reach the sixth level.”
Bellona swipes at Kiriyenko for ignorance
Bellona’s nuclear physicist Nils Bøhmer immediately took issue with Kiriyenko’s remarks, saying that the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) – which, with nuclear member nations developed the scale – has very concrete limits in the INES guidebook on the amount of radiation that constitutes a major release – and that Fukushima Daiichi had exceeded them.
“Figures shown by the Japanese show levels 10 times higher that the limits set out in INES guidelines,” said Bøhmer.
Kiriyenko went on to say that: “I suspect this is more of a financial issue than a nuclear one,” appearing to suggest that the Japanese authorities were seeking to reduce the burden on insurance companies.
“I guess that maybe it could be linked to the definition of force majeure with regards to insurance? I would pay attention to that. It is a bit strange,” Kiriyenko said.
“I find this a bit strange coming from Kiriyenko, if not a bit cynical,” said Bøhmer. “Kiriyenko apparently has not read the guidelines, he should know the procedure.”
IAEA to assign final level based on Japanese date
According to Bøhmer, assigning a nuclear event a level on the INES scale originates with the country where the accident has taken place and the data that it submits. The IAEA then reviews all data once the situation is under control, and assigns the event in question.
In these circumstances, said Bøhmer, it will likely be some time before the IAEA affixes an official level for the Fukushima Daiichi disaster on the INES scale “because the situation is far from being under control.”
“The IAEA will assign a final level to the incident independent of any financial considerations in Japan,” Bøhmer. “Kiriyenko should know this – it is not for Japan or Kiriyenko to assign the level, but for the IAEA.”
Kiriyenko based his remarks on the fact that Chernobyl exploded dramatically, sending radiation around the northern hemisphere. But where Chernobyl seemed to come in an instant as its core melted down, Fukushima Daiichi’s radioactive releases are of a different nature. Suspected core breaches and partial fuel melts have contributed to wide spread contamination, registered throughout the northern hemisphere, as well as massive releases of radiation from the spent nuclear fuel pool atop reactor No 4, which is overcrowded, containing 1535 fuel assemblies. Other fuel pools are also emitting huge doses of radiation.
Oversaturation of reactors and spent fuel ponds also contributed to a month long water leak issuing from reactor No 2, releasing seawater meauring 1000 millisieverts directly into the Pacific Ocean. The plugging of the leak is only a stop-gap measure: water levels in the now-clogged shaft are rising and will need to be abated to avoid yet more water leaks at that reactor. Workers have also dumped some 11,500 tons of irradiated water into the sea to make room in the plant’s waste treatment facility for yet more irradiated water.
“The Fukushima Daiichi plant is rewriting the book on nuclear reactor accidents. There are multiple major sources of emissions from the same site at the same time, including more than one reactor and more than one spent fuel pool,” said Dr. Arjun Makhijani, president, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research.
“For the first time, major portions of three reactor buildings have been blown away by hydrogen explosions. Backup power arrangements have been shown to be grossly inadequate,” he said. “Freshwater was not available for essential cooling functions for an extended period. The situation is far from being under control more than one month after the start of the accident.”
Level 7 came as no surprise to other nuclear industry experts
On Tuesday, when Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano announced that his government was elevating its assessment of the accident to the scale topping and dire Level 7, it came as little surprise to many nuclear experts, including Bøhmer.
“This is an attempt at being honest about the effects [of the disaster],” he said. “Japanese officials have observed the radiation situation over the month and have assigned the accident the level it deserves.”
He also was surprised that Japanese officials had not come forward sooner with the new rating, saying that they had had the data they needed to suggest the new level for several weeks.
In his remarks about raising the INES level of the Fukushima Daiichi accident, Edano also announced that several targeted communities outside the 20 kilometre evacuation radius around the plant would also be asked to move in the next month. Most of these communities lie within the 20-kilometer to 30-kilometer radius around the plant, but a handful lie even further away than that.
Japan urged to raise level by experts
The reason behind Japan’s new Level 7 assessment was the result of pressure put on the government to raise the level after Japan’s nuclear safety commission estimated the amount of radioactive material released from its stricken reactors reached 10,000 terabecquerels per hour for several hours following the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country’s northeast coast on 11 March.
That level of radiation constitutes a major accident, according to the INES scale, said Bøhmer.
Kiriyenko’s remarks also come in the context of Russia’s lackluster response within its own nuclear industry in the wake of the Japanese crisis, which has set most major nuclear powers on reviewing the status of their own plants. Germany has gone the further by shutting down some of its reactors and pledging to go non-nuclear by 2020.
Russia struggling against Fukushima complex for its own financial gain
But Russia, which is jockeying to become a major nuclear salesman, especially in the foreign market, has ordered no review of its own reactors – many of which are well beyond their original engineered operational periods of 30 years and are running on extensions.
A Bellona investigation revealed that Fukushima Daiichi’s reactor No 1, which went into service in 1971, had two weeks prior to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, received a 10-year operational extension despite warnings from regulators that it would not withstand an earthquake, and that stress fractures were found in its backup diesel generators.
Failure of power to the reactors for cooling purposes has been the central crisis facing rescue workers who have worked around the clock for more than a month to keep the reactors at manageable temperatures.
Fukushim Daiichi reactors flawed regardless of quake
It was further revealed to Bellona Web by Mitsuhiko Tanaka, a former reactor designer for the Fukushima Daiichi plant turned whistleblower, that he knew the General Electric Mark 1 design – which constituted five of the six reactors at the plant – was fatally flawed, and kept the secret until 1988 when he turned to the government with his information. He was rebuffed.
Reactor No 1 – as well as reactors No 2 and 3 – suffered hydrogen explosions early in the disaster due to the small size of their containment vessels, a disaster Tanaka foresaw.
Three engineers who worked for General Electric in the late 1960s who reviewed the Mark 1 design also came to the conclusion that the reactor was a time bomb and resigned, they told ABC news in an interview last month.
The United States had 28 GE Mark 1 reactors in service.

There are at least two ways to make a gargoyle: Carve it or sculpt it.
I carved this one out of poplar wood for the end of the handrail in the stairway to my studio. Poplar splits easily and I messed up on the other side---which is why I put the bad side to the wall.
But there’s an easier way if the piece is only decorative. You can sculpt the head out of the air-drying foam called “Model Magic,” and then paint it with acrylic to simulate wood grain. The whole process only takes a couple of hours.
That’s how Jeanette and I did the green men that live on the keystones of the arches over the studio windows.

10 Hilarious Caricatures Of Famous PeopleCelebrity, Digital Art, Entertainment, Funny, Lists, Painting, Weird
Caricature artists don’t really get the credit they deserve, and have been reduced to performing at carnivals and other silly occasions. The art of creating a great caricature involves spotting certain features within each individual that can attain humorous results when accentuated. The caricature artists featured on this list are clearly masters at paying attention to this detail. The following is a list featuring 10 hilarious caricatures. Each of these are of famous celebrities who might not be flattered if they ever saw one of these personally.
Johnny Depp looks as trippy as he did in his turn in ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’. He must clearly also have nightmares of clowns on a regular basis.
Even one of the most handsome people on our planet does not retain his good looks when converted to caricature form.
This former legendary President might have never guessed that one day people would be acknowledging his greatness while looking at his caricature.
The king of pop never really had the best features to begin with. Turning him into a caricature just makes things worst for the late legend.
Even in caricature form, he retains his charm and swagger.
Tarantino always had sharp features, if you could use that word. Things get a lot pointier when you turn him into a caricature.
The lovable Tom Hanks remains lovable even when seen through the eyes of a caricature artist.
Why is that every funny rendition of Larry King makes him look like a mole man!
The popular singer is always the target of ridicule and this medium is no exception.
Osama Bin Laden
Now that he has been taken down, the jokes and funny renditions have begun to flow ever more freely.

Despite being seen at multiple outings together, Lamar Odom is declaring that he and Karlie Redd are “just friends.”
On Friday, May 20, he made a guest appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show,” where the talk show host grilled him about what she called “a fake relationship” between the basketball star and the “Love and Hip Hop” star.
Seemingly not satisfied with the relationship, Williams said, “Not that I have a problem with Karlie Redd, I just have a problem with Karlie Redd with Lammy.” Odom responded, “We’re friends; we’re really good friends, getting to know each other.” Williams, who was apparently not buying it, proceeded to ask if the two “sleep together.” Odom responded with an awkward silence, but then repeated the words “we’re friends,” along with a chuckle.
Williams continued to pry, later asking if Redd has a key to Odom’s home, to which he replied, “No, nope. Not at all.” After noticing that the 56-year-old still didn’t believe him, he assured her by saying, “I’m still single Wendy. Happily single,” then said, “I’m in Atlanta,” before the clip ended.
Rumors about a potential relationship between the two began to spark last month after they were seen together at Yandy Smith-Harris’ birthday party. Smith-Harris is a cast member within the “Love and Hip Hop” franchise like Redd. Weeks later, Redd and Odom were seen getting cozy in pictures on the red carpet for a promotional event for Odom’s celebrity boxing match against Aaron Carter on June 11. Two more of Redd’s “Love and Hip Hop” castmates, Cisco Rosado and Peter Gunz, also will throw hands on the same night.
Odom was once married to Khloe Kardashian and five months ago called off his engagement to Sabrina Parr. As for Redd, she was able to legally cut ties with her ex-husband, Mo Fayne, last year. In season nine of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta”, she revealed that she and Mo Fayne had tied the knot, despite their having troubles throughout the relationship. Now Fayne has more important and legal matters to tend to. The entrepreneur looking at doing around 12 months in prison after pleading guilty to bank fraud charges. Instead of using his PPP loan during the pandemic to pay for his employees and help keep his business afloat he spent $2 million on jewelry and used more of it to pay off his child support.
