Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
People Impacted by Our Local Mission
Hours Worked by Partners (called Sweat Equity)
Habitat for Humanity is an international, non-governmental, nonprofit organization devoted to building and repairing simple, decent and affordable housing. We believe everyone deserves a decent and safe place to live.
We hold a variety of fundraising and advocacy events throughout the year. Each event supports the construction and repair of homes for local families. Project schedules are also posted as "Event Days" on our Event Calendar for ease of viewing and signing up. Check back often to see what activities are coming up to support the Habitat mission.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Consider giving up just a few hours of your time to learn valuable skills, meet some incredible new people and change the lives of local families forever. If you prefer not to volunteer on a jobsite, we have many opportunities on our committees and board of directors. Contact our office to learn more about volunteer options.
News & Events
You don’t have to choose just one cause or organization to support. You can provide support for various causes and various organizations. Take the time to figure out what feels right for you and your own goals for doing good in the world.
May is recognized as National Recommitment Month. It’s a time of renewal and even to build new habits or relationships. What will you recommit to this month?
Now that the world is showing signs of getting back to a sense of “normalcy,” use this Earth Day as a reminder that when we all work together, we can make a difference.

Today I went paddling with my club on Tomales Bay. We launched at Millerton Park across from Inverness in the southern part of the bay.
We paddled south from the beach under gray skies.
We entered the slough formed by Lagunitas Creek as it flows into Tomales Bay.
As we made our way south, the slough narrowed and freshened into something resembling more a creek than a slough. Although we were about 10 miles inland from the mouth of Tomales Bay, I spotted a harbor seal.
Lagunitas Creek gets more and more wooded the farther upstream you go. Here is what it looks like just before we reached Point Reyes Station.
A little further on and you come to California State Highway One and the green bridge that crosses Lagunitas Creek just south of Point Reyes Station.
I paddled the better part of a mile beyond this bridge until I encountered enough brushy obstacles to turn me around.
We paddlers found a nice spot to have a potluck lunch which we enjoyed as the gloomy clouds departed and the sun came out.
The paddle back to Millerton Park was pleasant and aided by an ebb tide current. We passed a half dozen White Pelicans along the way.
Soon after taking the photo of the White Pelicans, a mild breeze came up, enough to think better of taking any more photos lest the spray from the bow of my kayak ruin my camera.

Each year The Bays Hospital Special Care Nursery (SCN) provides the utmost specialist care for more than 140 unwell, premature or babies needing additional monitoring.
The purpose-built, state-of-the-art Level II Special Care Nursery will feature five special care cots for sick, premature and low birth weight babies with clinical conditions requiring specialist monitoring and care. The nursery will have a dedicated resuscitation room, allowing for greater privacy for families.
The Special Care Nursery is part of a $6 million maternity redevelopment project that will feature ten purpose built maternity rooms and three birthing suites.
Parents who spent time in our old Special Care Nursery will recall that it was, at times, a tight squeeze without dedicated space for families. Space for staff was also limited and while nurses do a great job providing a high level of care, the new nursery with extra cots and the latest advanced medical emergency equipment is required to service the fast-growing regional population.
The new Special Care Nursery will have a greatly expanded floorspace, with individual pods where parents can feed and spend time with their baby in privacy.
The Special Care Nursery is also a place where parents can receive incredible support, warmth and care from experienced SCN nurses, midwives and medical staff who can assist them through what can be an extremely stressful and emotional time.
These enhanced capabilities and state-of-the-art equipment will minimise the need to transfer critically ill babies to a tertiary hospital, ensuring that the majority of premature and low birth weight babies born at The Bays are able to receive the care they need without delay.
Each individual purpose-built maternity room, will feature an ensuite, baby bath, more family-friendly areas and greater privacy and sound-proofing. Parents of special needs babies will be able to stay close to their newborns, protecting the natural bonding experience between mother and child during what can potentially be a very stressful time.
The Bays maternity team are extremely excited about the new Special Care Nursery and believe it will set a new standard of care for babies and families on the Mornington Peninsula.
The Bays Hospital has provided a reputable maternity service for almost 80 years, with experienced teams of midwives and mothercraft nurses providing support during the birth of nearly 500 babies delivered each year.
The Bays Hospital is the only private hospital in Victoria that holds an accredited Baby-Friendly Health Accreditation. The Baby-Friendly Health Initiative is a global effort launched by the World Health Organisation and UNICEF to implement practices that protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
The Bays is a community-owned, not for profit organisation and receives no direct funding assistance from the Government. Community support allows us to keep up with the latest medical developments, purchase equipment, and maintain a comfortable, supportive environment for patients and visitors.
For more information on The Bays Hospital Special Care Nursery and maternity services visit their website or call 5975 2009.

Historical Traveler Reviews Swansea Marriott Hotel
Am very biased of Swansea & surrounding areas because it is my home town. The Swansea Marriott is a great place to stay for business & pleasure. Have stayed many times over the last few years & is so pleasant to see the same staff time after time.
My family stayed at the Swansea Marriott Hotel for 4 nights during Easter. We booked connecting rooms and got it. The hotelīs location is perfect with easy access from the mainroads and next to the citycenter. The staff was absolutely positive and helpful and always smiling!
Second stay at this hotel and had a great time yet again. We received a complimentary room upgrade and the room was brilliant, huge bed with excellent views of the marina and Swansea Bay. Found all the staff to be really helpful especially reception. Will definitely go back.
Hotel is just starting to show signs of tiredness, but the service by staff more than compensated. Good quality rooms, good location and good food.
There was even a hotel cat the welcomed you as you approached the hotel.
UK is often not the place to receive good quality service, but praise is certainly due to all the staff at the hotel
Great location, high standards
We stayed at this hotel in July, 2003. It was in a great location, next to the Marina. The amenities were plentiful, the room was very nice, quiet, clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was a nice touch. Definitely up to standards for the business traveler and also a great break for a holiday.
Would definetly return.
The Tesco/Marriott points scheme is unbelievable value. For £30 worth of Tesco points we had £120 knocked off our 2 night £100 per night b & b bill.
A very nice hotel with clean rooms. The staff was very helpful with directions. Great breakfast buffet included in the price.
Arrived late for a mtg the next day. Staff could not be more helpful with room service and with a smile too. Very comfortable, clean and quiet. Would stay here again.
Stayed three nights in an attractive, clean, quiet room with pretty views of the marina. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool for the rainy afternoon. Easy walk to town center for shopping, restaurants, and excellent bus service. Lovely walk along bay with beautiful views. It would have been convenient and helpful if a computer was available for visitors (even if you had to sign in to use) - and I think the hotel price should have included continental breakfast. A good choice for our first visit to Wales.
Can't fault it
This must be the best hotel in Swansea. Right next to the marina and virtually on the spacious beach, but central (10-20 minutes' walk), well appointed rooms and a decent swimming pool. This is the only hotel I've stayed at that provides you with two hairdryers, thus reducing competition among partners in the post-shower rush to get ready. The breakfast was excellent and served in extremely pleasant surroundings. Wish I could have stayed longer. The only irritant was the minibar, which charges you not only for items consumed, but also for items moved around in the fridge: it's that kind of technology.

Using different bitrates for computer vs. iPod
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I like my songs to have a very high bitrate on my computer, so when I burn a compilation of music I get the best possible sound quality. But when listening with the iPod earbuds, I do not need this quality, yet I do not want to convert my songs to a different bitrate. In Windows Media Player they allow you to sync a device and change the bitrate of a song as you transfer it from your computer to the audio player. Is there software out there that can match this for my iPod?
A: This feature is currently available only for the iPod shuffle, and not for other iPod models. For now, the only solution is to convert your music to a lower bit rate, saving the high bit rate copies of songs, then create playlists just for the iPod that you then sync either manually or automatically (by selecting just those playlists).

Zaki’s remarks came as response to the confusion and the contradictory statements of many Palestinian officials about the latest events in Yarmouk Camp regarding Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrosists storming the Camp, as Palestinian Ma’an News Agency quoted Fattah’s official as saying Silence on the crime is treachery and paying no heed to reality of the conspiracy or being confused to whether confront aggression or not is cowardice.
“This aggression launched by agents of NATO, Mossad and the US intelligence seeks to dismember the Arab Nation, kill the civilians, and destroy houses and sanctuaries”, Zaki added.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Police in Louisville say a woman instructed two teenagers to move the body of a murdered 17-year-old, reports CBS affiliate WLKY.
Ebony Jones, 35, is charged with tampering with physical evidence in the death of Adrian Cook, who was killed on Nov. 25.
Two teens have been charged in Cook's murder. Police say that on the day of Cook's death, Jones told the two suspects to move Cook's body to the front yard of the house where he was killed. She also allegedly instructed them to tell police that Cook was killed in a drive-by shooting.
In court on Tuesday, Jones' attorney asked that she be given home incarceration as the case moves forward.

1. Irrigation: River interlinking projects aim to transfer water from surplus river basins to water-deficit regions, improving irrigation in drought-prone areas. This can potentially increase agricultural productivity and food security.
2. Cost-Effectiveness: Supporters argue that river interlinking can provide cost-effective solutions for addressing water scarcity and drought-related challenges.
3. Drought Mitigation: Historically, river linking has been proposed as a solution to mitigate enduring droughts in various parts of India, helping alleviate water stress during dry periods.
1. Environmental Impact: Critics argue that river interlinking can have significant ecological consequences. It may change groundwater levels, introduce invasive species, and reduce sediment deposits downstream, potentially harming ecosystems and biodiversity.
2. Rainfall Disruption: New research suggests that large-scale river interlinking could disrupt rainfall patterns, leading to decreased rainfall in already water-stressed regions. This could exacerbate water stress and drought conditions.
3. Imbalance in Soil Moisture: River interlinking may create imbalances in soil moisture across different basins. While some areas may see increased moisture, others could experience declines, affecting local agriculture and ecosystems.
4. Climate Change Uncertainty: The research does not factor in the potential effects of climate change on river interlinking. Climate change could further complicate the consequences of these projects on rainfall and water availability.
5. Disputes and Delays: Implementing river interlinking projects has been slow and contentious, with disagreements between states over water availability and basin capacity. This can lead to delays and disputes in project execution.
6. Ecological and Wildlife Impact: River interlinking projects may result in the submergence of valuable natural habitats and wildlife reserves, leading to habitat loss and potential harm to endangered species.
Overall, river interlinking projects have both potential benefits in terms of irrigation and addressing drought and significant drawbacks related to their environmental and climatic impacts. Policymakers must carefully consider these pros and cons when planning and implementing such projects.

Things to do in Rome: The Appian WayNicola
All roads lead to Rome and the Romans were known for their gigantic freeways, one of their many engineering inventions. One such road is the Via Appia, also known as the Appian Way.
Locally known as ‘the Queen of the roads’, it stretches all the way to the harbour of Brindisi. The mega road was originally constructed to connect Rome to Southern Italy and became one of the most important thoroughfares in the Roman Republic. Many people don’t realise that there is a vast national park in the heart of Rome, along this road, which is protected from development as part of the ‘Parco Regionale Appia Antica‘.
The Appian Way Regional Park is 3400 hectares and a protected area established by the Italian region of Lazio. It falls primarily within the territory of Rome but parts also extend to the neighbouring towns of Ciampino and Marino, and it contains 78 species of birds and fauna, as well as flora including Mediterranean pine trees, holm oak and cork, plus many archaeological items of interest such as catacombs, tomb monuments, aqueducts and villas that line it.
There are lots of interesting ruins along the road, as you cycle through history, such as medieval watch towers, catacombs and thermal baths, and this is an ideal nature trail for both walking and cycling, as well as a sense of past steeped in history.
The Caffarella Park (Parco della Caffarella) is one of the parks that make up the entire complex. The park is named after the Caffarelli family who initially owned a farm there in the 16th century. It was later taken over by the Pallavicini family and the Torlonias. In the 1930’s, the land was nearly use for urban expansion, but following popular demand and protest became protected and preserved, incorporated into the Apian Way park. A working farm is still there to this day.
An aqueduct on the via Appia
Part of this stretch was once occupied by a large estate called Tropius, owned by a Greek called Herodes Atticus, who became a Roman Senator. He married Annia Regilla, acquiring the land to the estate dating back to 312 BC.
The Nympheum of Egiria, is a spring which dates back to the 2nd century AD, was constructed by Herodes after he was cleared of the murder of his wife, proved to have been killed by one of his freed slaves. The water springs from the rear of the now headless statue of the God Almo, a personification of of the river Almone.
The Tomb of Annia Regilla
The Tomb of Annia Regilla is a beautiful monument, constructed in red and yellow brick with two floors, also known as the Temple of the God Rediculum (since scholars have debated, if it was built for the god Romans honoured at the beginning and end of their journeys), with its temple like appearance and external decorative features. In the middle ages, this was actually used as a hay loft by a neighbouring farmhouse. The Sacred Wood is a stunning sub section that Herodes ordered to be planted, overlooking the valley, with views of the hills around Rome, known as the Castelli Romani.
The Valca Tower is a 12th to 13th century building made from rectangular blocks of tuft, and was protected by a first wall of defence and a drawbridge, believed to be part of a fulling mill for cleaning cloth and in particular wool.
The Columbarium of Constantine is a building where the ashes of the deceased were kept dating back to the 2nd century AD. This was also converted into a mill during the middle ages.
A Roman cistern exists constructed around 100AD which became exposed during the construction of Circus Maxentius when earth moving was carried out. It was originally underground.
The church of Saint Urbano
The church of Saint Urbano is a 7th-century church built over a pagan temple dating back to the 2nd century, on the edge of the Caffarella Park south east of Rome. In the 10th Century, the structure was modified and consecrated as a church, and internal frescos were added in the 12th century. It was extensively altered yet again in the 17th Century. Left abandoned for years due to its remote position, it was eventually acquired by the city of Rome in 2002 and given to the Diocese of Rome. It underwent restoration between 2010-11, and is open to the public only for special, occasional guided tours.
Some other roads are the Via Postumia and Via Aurelia. Gallia Narbonensis (southern France) was reachable from Rome by way of the Via Postumia in the North of Italy. And, by the time of the high Empire, travellers could go from Rome by way of the Via Aurelia across the Alps on the Via Julia Augusta to either northern France or Gades (modern Cadiz, Spain).
The modern Strada State 1 (State Road 1) occupies the same route, and colloquially is still referred to as, La Via Aurelia. If you love ancient ruins and all things nature, then look no further than our Underground Rome and Appian Way tour.

U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa (HI-01) today cited human concerns and the experience of her home state of Hawaii in voting in favor of H.R. 152, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, which provides an additional $17 billion to address immediate disaster aid needs for the states affected by Hurricane Sandy, as well as $33 billion for longer-term recovery efforts and infrastructure improvements. The House passed the measure on a vote of 241-180, and it now heads to the Senate.
The first piece of Sandy Aid Relief legislation, which provided $9.7 billion in aid, was approved by the House and Senate on January 4, 2013.
"Today marks 79 days since Hurricane Sandy struck the east coast and I am appalled that it has taken this long to get much needed aid to the affected states. We in Hawaii know all too well what it's like to have to pick up the pieces and rebuild after facing Mother Nature's wrath. Our first concern should always be offering assistance to the victims of the devastation, providing for both their immediate health and safety and long term concerns about the economic effects of the damage. This is not a time to stand on political doctrine; it is a time for human concern," said Hanabusa.
On December 7, 2012, the Obama Administration requested $60.41 billion in supplemental funding and legislative provisions to address both immediate and long-term damages from Hurricane Sandy. On December 28, the Senate passed this request in the form of an amendment to H.R. 1; however, the House Republican leadership never brought that legislation to the floor.
The House GOP leadership promised the House would consider Sandy Disaster Relief on January 1 or 2; however, Speaker Boehner cancelled votes for this funding package on New Year's Day and adjourned the 112th Congress with no action.
H.R. 152, along with the $9.7 billion already signed into law, provide similar funding levels to the Administration's request. The majority of the funding in the two packages is designated as "emergency" funding exempt from discretionary spending caps, with just a portion designated as disaster funding under the Budget Control Act.
Hurricane Sandy, which hit the east coast on October 29, 2012, is the second most costly natural disaster in U.S. history.

As in previous years, the Associação Portuguesa de Museologia [Portuguese Association of Museology] (APOM) acknowledged several institutions and museological projects that stood out in 2018 in a range of different areas, from temporary exhibitions to communication, restoration, education, investigation or incorporation, among others. The ceremony took place last Friday, 24 May, at the Teatro Miguel Franco, in Leiria, and welcomed representatives of the various projects, from all over the country.
In this year’s edition of the APOM awards, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum was awarded the ‘Temporary Exhibition Prize’ for the project The Emperor’s Flowers. From Bulb to Carpet, curated by Clara Serra and Teresa Nobre de Carvalho, which was held at the Conversations Space between February and May 2018. This display took as its starting point the analysis of the floral designs of two carpets from Calouste Gulbenkian’s collection, which are indicative of the dialogues established between East and West throughout the 17th century, while also reflecting the global movement of people, books, images and botanical specimens.
The exhibition was accompanied by a publication that includes texts written by both curators and is still available for purchase at the Foundation stores.

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Saturday said Prime Minister Imran Khan is surrounded by “thieves”.
“He has flour thieves in front of him, power thieves behind him, gas thieves on the right, sugar thieves on the left and ATMs below,” Maryam said, while addressing a PML-N campaign rally for by-elections in the NA-75 constituency in Sialkot’s Daska tehsil.
Maryam said that even if PML-N fails to secure a single seat in Senate, “the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif will never sit down with this lying, incompetent Imran Khan”.
“This is not an election, it is a war, a war which Nawaz Sharif has begun against those who stole your votes,” she said.
The PML-N vice president, throughout her speech, made a case against the incumbent government — as PTI’s Usman Dar is also contesting the seat — and sought to “remind” people of the PML-N’s “services” in Punjab.
In severe criticism of the government and in particular Prime Minister Imran Khan, she said that when people complain of inflation “he says reduce your expenses”.
“Tell me, which of you were given a job of the 10 million jobs promised by the prime minister?” she asked the rally participants, adding: “Has not Punjab been abandoned?”
She claimed that today a “tearful Punjab cries for (former prime minister) Nawaz Sharif and (former Punjab chief minister) Shahbaz Sharif”.
Maryam said that he who promised 10 million jobs and five million houses has now “scaled back to chickens, eggs and calves”.
“Forget jobs and houses, did any of you get these chickens, eggs or calves?” she asked, adding: “For shame!”
She sought to “remind” everyone that Nawaz Sharif, on the other hand, had set up power plants.
The PML-N leader said that the PTI government, on the other hand, “did not succeed in making a Metro bus even”. “They only made potholes in the middle of roads,” she said.
Maryam, in further criticism of the Metro bus project said that the project took six years to complete and even then the buses “go up in flames more than they run”.
“The ones that do not catch fire, have to be pushed to start,” she added.
By-polls in NA-75 after seat falls vacant
The NA-75 seat fell vacant when PML-N MNA Syed Iftikharul Hassan Shah died of coronavirus on August 2. By-polls for the seat , along with provincial assembly seat PP-51, will be held on February 19.
According to a Dawn report, PPP candidates Qamar Zaman Kaira and Sumera Sahi withdrew their candidature to support the PML-N on both these seats.
“For both the by-polls, the PML-N has chosen family members of the deceased lawmakers who held the seats previously. Nosheen Iftikhar — the daughter of former MNA Zahry Shah — and Talat Cheema — the widow of former MPA Shaukat Cheema — have been given the party tickets for NA-75 and PP-51, respectively,” read the report.
PM’s aide resigns to stand for elections
News broke a day earlier that PTI leader Usman Dar has stepped down as special assistant to the prime minister on youth affairs.
Dar will contest the election from the city’s NA-75 area and will, according to sources, resume his official duty as the prime minister’s special assistant after the election.

These two actions may seem unrelated, but, in fact, they represent two Republican priorities: states rights and deregulation, which Republicans may increasingly find are in conflict. Managing this conflict could prove to be one of the more difficult aspects of the GOP having control of the federal government.
According to the author of H.J 69, Rep Don Young (R-AK), the DOI rules about when and how predators like wolves and bears could be hunted was an “overreach and the beginning of overreach on all federal lands.” Advocates see the nullification of the rule as a victory for states’ rights, and it’s true that there was some pushback against the rule from some Alaskans, but, much of the supposed rationale for rolling back the rule comes from scientifically-unfounded fears about predators like wolves and bears threatening the stocks of animals that many Alaskans hunt for subsistence.
Regardless of the reason, allowing states to override the DOI dictate hunting practices on land that is owned by the federal government and which has been designated as a reserve is a big swing away from federal oversight in favor of state control. The passage of H.J. 69 is not just a change of specific hunting rules, but also a change in how this land is managed, who is managing it, and for whom it is being managed. Putting Alaska’s priority of allowing unrestricted killing of certain animals above the DOI’s mission to “protect and manage the Nation’s natural resources” is a significant paradigm shift towards states’ rights.
On the other hand, the actions of the FTC on the issue of professional licensing is an unprecedented move towards curtailing the rights of state governments. Specifically, this rule seeks to limit state government’s ability to enact regulations to which the federal government objects. Professional licensing is almost exclusively the domain of state governments. This has led to a system where different states have different licensing procedures for the exact same professions and some states have licenses for professions for which there is no logical need to be licensed, like interior decorating. This maze of licensing is especially burdensome for military spouses who move frequently and often need to go through a complex, time consuming, and expensive process of getting new licenses for their same skills each time they move.
Up until now, the federal government has had no real means to address this issue because there is no legal mechanism for the federal government to interfere with state licensing procedure. Making this an FTC issue and launching the task force signals a significant shift in the federal government’s attitude towards state licensing. Whether or not this leads to policy actually limiting the ability of states to require licenses remains to be seen, but even the increased federal attention on state level licensing regulations is notable.
The Republicans have only just assumed power of the federal government and balancing states’ rights with the desire to deregulate has not been the most pressing challenge so far, but, as their time in power wears on, this conflict will likely come up again and again. So far, Republicans in power seem to be erring on the side of deregulation but still working for states rights. As federal regulations fall, many states are going to enact their own laws to keep some of those regulations in place. If the federal government repeatedly overrides these regulations, it will be hard for the GOP to use states’ rights as a plausible justification for other actions. Tracking federal policy with this conflict in mind will give a clearer picture of what the priorities of this Republican government truly are. It’s easy for the GOP to promote states’ rights when the state is doing something they agree with; it’s a lot harder to value states’ rights when states are doing something the GOP thinks is wrong.

To the outside world, they seem to have it all. Cassie Barrett, a renowned anthropologist, and Alex Rivers, one of Hollywood’s hottest actors, met on the set of a motion picture in Africa.
They shared childhood tales, toasted the future, and declared their love in a fairy-tale wedding. But when they return to California, something alters the picture of their perfect marriage. A frightening pattern is taking shape—a cycle of hurt, denial, and promises, thinly veiled by glamour.
Torn between fear and something that resembles love, Cassie wrestles with questions she never dreamed she would face: How can she leave? Then again, how can she stay?
A woman wakes to find herself lying on top of a grave. She is hurt and bleeding, and her memory has been wiped clean – not only does she not know what she is doing there, but she does not even know who she is. She is taken under the wing of William Flying Horse, LAPD and is taken by surprise when she is finally identified by Alex Rivers, Hollywood movie star, her husband. Her name is Cassie Barrett, and she is a renowned archaeologist.
Cassie is dazzled and bewildered by the life in which she suddenly finds herself – the fairytale Bel-Air mansion, all manner of fame and fortune, a successful career, the attentions of a handsome and doting husband. But everything is not quite right. It is only as her memory gradually returns that her picture perfect life comes crumbling down, and she is faced with a choice.

POLL OF THE DAY.... For a couple of months, every sentence from Republican officials and Fox News personalities had to include the word "socialism" while attacking the president. It didn't have much of an effect.
Maybe the smears didn't connect because people don't think "socialism" is all that bad.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.
Specifically, Rasmussen asked respondents, "Which is a better system -- capitalism or socialism?" A narrow majority (53%) supported capitalism as the superior system. One in five backed socialism, and a surprisingly high 27% weren't sure.

Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) Prelude and allegro "In the style of Pugnani" for violin and piano Piano part.
When I was a little girl we had an album of Fritz Kreisler playing his own music. They were on the old 78rpm records. Eventually they all ended up broken.
Recorded with acclaimed Argentinian pianist José Gallardo, the newly-released disc features a captivating program of short pieces for violin and piano from the Golden Age of String Playing – including parlor works by Fritz Kreisler, Leopold Auer and Joseph Szigeti. This album was conceived as something of a homage to my illustrious predecessors, the 31 year old virtuoso has said. Frang has the knack of breathing life into every note, whether by variations in phrasing, attack, tone or dynamic, BBC Music Magazine has gushed.
Fritz Kreisler found it amusing (and, happily enough, entirely beneficial to his career) to bend the truth when it came to questions of musical authorship; critics and historians still love to pull out and dust off the ethical debate that raged when, in 1935, Kreisler admitted that he himself had composed most of the delightful miniatures for violin and piano that he ha.

As the fight against COVID-19 continues, the increased cost and limited availability (for some items) of personal protective equipment (PPE) have made the need for PPE preservation very important. Please see the information below regarding a toolkit to assist agencies with PPE planning.
The HHS Healthcare Resilience Working Group (HRWG) has developed the PPE Preservation Planning Toolkit, a dynamic tool designed to guide any organization that uses PPE to estimate the benefits of preservation practices during contingency and crisis capacity PPE shortages. The toolkit is a resource that allows users to plan how to extend the duration and utility of existing PPE supplies to alleviate challenges related to disposable PPE consumables, including medical gloves, N95 respirators, surgical masks, face shields/eye protection, and gowns. The toolkit allows users to discover how implementing PPE preservation strategies may prevent or mitigate PPE shortages.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new micropulse 577 nm yellow laser is a better treatment option compared to the conventional 532 nm green laser for diabetic macular edema.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious debilitating and deadly disease causing significant mortality and morbidity globally. Diabetic macular oedema is the most common cause of visual loss in the working population.
In 1985, the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) demonstrated that focal (direct/grid) laser photocoagulation reduces moderate vision loss from diabetic macular oedema (DMO) by 50% or more. However, further studies have shown that photocoagulation can eventually result in complications leading to loss of central vision and decreased colour vision. Thus, many newer laser machines that claim to reduce the rate of complications have been developed over the years.
In this project, we plan to evaluate the usage of the micropulse 577 nm laser, which is a yellow light laser, and compare it to the conventional 532 nm green laser that is widely used. The 577 nm laser has a high affinity for oxyhemoglobin, a slightly lower affinity for melanin and almost no affinity for macular xanthophylls, as shown in the graph below.22,23,24,25 The yellow 577 nm light also scatters very little and does not cause photochemical reactions in the tissues.
The theoretical advantage of using the micropulse 577 nm yellow laser would be the reduced energy requirement to obtain the same results as with green 532 nm. This leads to less retinal toxicity and damage due to reduced absorption by the xanthophylls. Our aim in this project is to observe whether the theoretical advantage translates to a more effective treatment in reality.

Lasers with a semiconductor diode as the active medium. Diode lasers transform electric energy to light using the same principle as a light-emitting diode (LED), but with internal reflection capability, thus forming a resonator where a stimulated light can reflect back and forth, allowing only a certain wavelength to be emitted. The emission of a given device is determined by the active compound used (e.g., gallium arsenide crystals doped with aluminum or indium). Typical wavelengths are 810, 1,060 and 1,300 nm. (From UMDNS, 2005)
A technique utilizing a laser coupled to a catheter which is used in the dilatation of occluded blood vessels. This includes laser thermal angioplasty where the laser energy heats up a metal tip, and direct laser angioplasty where the laser energy directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser angioplasty is performed in combination with balloon angioplasty it is called laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).
Techniques using laser energy in combination with a balloon catheter to perform angioplasty. These procedures can take several forms including: 1, laser fiber delivering the energy while the inflated balloon centers the fiber and occludes the blood flow; 2, balloon angioplasty immediately following laser angioplasty; or 3, laser energy transmitted through angioplasty balloons that contain an internal fiber.
Treatment using irradiation with LASER light of low power intensity so that the effects are not due to heat, as in LASER THERAPY. These non-thermal effects are thought to be mediated by a photochemical reaction that alters CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY, leading to increased mRNA synthesis and CELL PROLIFERATION. Low-level laser therapy has been used for a wide variety of conditions, but most frequently for wound healing and pain control.

Major upgrades to the Tennyson Street/Rolleston Drive intersection will begin in the new year to install traffic signals at the intersection and other upgrades.
This work will require some temporary road closures and one-way lanes while the work is completed.
From Monday 10 January
- Rolleston Drive will be one-way westbound. The one-way restrictions will be in place until these upgrades are completed, which is expected to be in late April, weather permitting.
- Tennyson Street will be closed either side of the intersection for five weeks.
From mid-February – weather permitting – this section will be open to a one-way system southbound (towards Lincoln).
From Sunday 16 January
- The intersection will be closed from 9pm–6am daily for about two weeks.
Signed detours will be in place and temporary safe access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained throughout works. Temporary bus stops will be in place on Rolleston Drive and Lowes Road for the affected bus stops for the 820, 85 and 5 bus routes.
Along with the new traffic signals the upgrade will include a new lane layout with right hand turning traffic lanes and cycle lanes, linking to the pathways recently installed to the north on Tennyson Street, along with signal crossings for bicycles and for pedestrians.
Rolleston Drive, west of Tennyson Street as far as the Rolleston Community Centre, will be upgraded to improve access to the future Rolleston town centre.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.

Various types of employment and conditions influencing women from farm households. Study of part-time employment of women from farm households (Part 1)
Mitsuhashi, N.; Nozaki, A.; Okamura, J.
Journal of Rural Planning Association 10(4): 7-21
Data from surveys of employment of women from farm households in 1973 and 1984 and the census of 1985 were used to investigate part-time work by married women in Matsuto, Ishikawa in the Hokuriku area and Kawagoe, Saitama in the South Kanto area of Honshu, Japan, with special reference to the factors which introduce variety into employment of this sort. Personal and household factors such as age, the stage in the development of the family, the scale of the farm and the employment of the husband influenced the type of employment.

Vikings agree to 3-year deal with TE Josh Oliver, source says
The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to their first free agency deal of the offseason.
A source confirmed to KSTP Sports that the team struck a three-year deal with tight end Josh Oliver on Monday. The deal includes just under $11 million guaranteed.
Oliver, 25, spent the past two years with Baltimore after he was drafted by Jacksonville in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-5, 249-pound tight end is known more for his blocking abilities than his receiving, as he’s totaled just 26 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns throughout his NFL career thus far.
While the legal negotiating period of free agency opened Monday, teams can’t formally sign players until Wednesday afternoon.

Theo Epstein's got that weird hue around him. His vision helped end historic World Series droughts in both Chicago and Boston. But his power lies in a paradox, in the knowledge that the only way to keep power is to give it away. He knows Wrigley Field is a multigenerational secular church. Our families have been there a long, long time. We are all just renting—nobody owns this.
Theo may be a creature of destiny, but he recognizes that he's also just another flawed human being, no better than anyone else. It's an artful thing to thread that needle and wear it as a matter of common sense. He's more Old World than old school. Words and deeds need to match. Trust is earned. He apologizes to no one for caring.
You can see it in the eyes of those he holds close. The relationships are far more personal and dignified than people crowding around a winner. When you mention someone he truly reveres, like the historian Howard Zinn, Theo's poker face drops into a reverential smile.
After that epic World Series Game 7, I found myself in the dugout watching first baseman Anthony Rizzo waving to the heavens. Theo was quite still—I watched him watch Rizzo. He must have felt it and turned to me, almost apologetic. "I haven't given you a proper hug!" he said.
"Greatest sporting moment of the century," I told him. "Thank you. And thank you from my father." He took it but undercut his achievement with a wry smile. "No," he said, "it's all about these guys." Then he walked back into the fray.

Rangers head to Cosby to face Eagles
Published 11:03 am Thursday, August 27, 2015
The Unaka Rangers will saddle up and make a long trip to Cosby High School, where they will try to wrangle the Eagles Friday.
For the Eagles, this will be their season opener. Last season, Cosby closed out their season by making the trip to Unaka, where they got the best of the Rangers 48-6. However, the Eagles that the Rangers will meet on Friday are a different team from last year.
The biggest and most important change is at the quaterback spot. Last season, Cosby was led by Derrek Weeks, who finished his senior season with 2,347 yards of offense, with 1,281 yards coming from rushing.
This time around, the Eagles will be led by senior Matt Lane, who will stepping into the QB position for the first time. His sophomore season, lane played as a running back, before transitioning into a lineman his junior year.
Last week, the Rangers were not able to get their season off to a good start, dropping their first game to the North Greene Huskies, 53-20.
The Huskies posted 227 yards of rushing on the Rangers. Unaka finished the game with 172 yards of total offense, 82 of which came from Micah Hunt’s rushing.
One of the biggest hurdles that the Rangers will face when going up against the Eagles on Friday will be size, Unaka coach Steve McKinney said.
“They are very big,” he said. “. . . It is hard to deal with size in high school. . . We have made some changes on defense this week to try and help us out and strengthen us up some.”
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Python takes some shortcuts when dealing with builtins. I'll just describe what happens (I won't say whether it is "right" or "wrong").
The exec statement, when given a string source, compiles it and eventually calls PyEval_EvalCodeEx, which creates a new frame using PyFrame_New and finally executes it.
A frame object contains a pointer to the previous frame, the code to be executed, a pointer to the current globals *and* a separate pointer to the current builtins.
Inside PyFrame_New, there is a shortcut: if the new frame and the previous one share the same globals, then the previous builtins are copied into the new frame. Only if the globals differ the builtins are searched in globals. From frameobject.c: /* If we share the globals, we share the builtins. Save a lookup and a call. */
It is this assumption that fails in your code.
If you want to execute some code with modified builtins, do not change __builtins__ in the *calling* code, but in the globals that you pass to the exec call. That appears to be the most logical approach, and the way the developers appear to have expected.

Los Angeles: Pop star Charlie Puth has applauded pal Selena Gomez for taking a break last year to focus on her health.
The singers became friends while working on the collaboration “We Don’t Talk Anymore”, and he was as concerned as anyone when Gomez walked away from her world tour last year to tackle anxiety, panic attacks and depression linked to her lupus battle.
Gomez spent 90 days out of the limelight and returned in style at the American Music Awards in November last year.
She also returned to Instagram recently to mark the fifth anniversary of the end of her hit Disney show “The Wizards of Waverly Place”, and Puth is glad she’s back.
He’s also happy she took a much-needed break, reported MTV.
“I think it’s good and I think it’s great that she was taking some time off for herself, because I see it on a much smaller scale – people…, who are maybe not necessarily fans, seeing you as an object and shouting things at you,” he said.
“Real fans won’t scream obscene things out at you, but it’s important to feel like a human again. So, I think her taking some time off is a really good thing.
“I can feel it getting to myself sometimes. I’ll be emotionally drained and kind of lifeless. So if I take like, a week off and just go hiking, I don’t look at Twitter every five minutes, but just hit the giant refresh button.
