It said that the measure was taken to “safeguard” the best interests of the children and that parents and legal guardians were responsible for ensuring minors are vaccinated in a “timely manner.”
The republic of about 5 million people is the first in the world to include coronavirus vaccines in its list of required immunizations for children, according to Arachu Castro, a professor at Tulane University who specializes in public health in Latin America.
Such a directive “helps normalize the vaccine,” Castro said, adding that it is also an acknowledgment that “covid may become endemic.”
Many health experts say that the coronavirus will never be completely eradicated and that it will instead continue to circulate among the global population much like the seasonal flu.
Costa Rica already requires government employees to be vaccinated and also allows companies to impose their own vaccination mandates.
The country began administering the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine to children over 12 years old last month. Nearly three-quarters of 12-to-19-year-olds in the country have already received at least one dose, according to the Health Ministry.
In a statement, the ministry said vaccine doses for children under 12 will be acquired by next year and guidance for the immunization of 5-to-11-year-olds would come as doses for that age group become available.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use in children ages 5 to 11.
Last month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced a similar requirement that made coronavirus vaccines among the mandatory routine immunizations for children attending public or private school in person. In San Francisco, children as young as 5 will need to show proof of vaccination to enter places like restaurants and sporting events.
In contrast to the United States, however, where vaccine mandates have faced political resistance, Costa Rica has maintained trust in the public health system, Castro said.
“Access to public health care in Costa Rica is a matter of national pride,” she said. “It’s seen in a positive nature.”


Khloe Kardashian And French Montana Buy Diddy A Pearl White Escalade!
Khloe Kardashian and French Montana joined forces and purchased Diddy a pearl white Escalade for his 45th birthday. The reality star and rapper’s gift immediately further fueled speculation that the two have rekindled their romance and Diddy’s video caption didn’t exactly help.

Design of a STEP-Compliant CNC System for Intelligent Manufacturing
The emerging standard ISO 14649, informally known as STEP-NC, presents an opportunity to revolutionize computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, which plays an ever-increasingly important role in modern manufacturing. This paper proposes a framework for the future CNC systems aimed to fit in a STEP-compliant manufacturing scenario. The proposed system (ST-CNC), which consists of five functional modules namely interpretation, micro-process planning, simulation, control and supervision, and in-process inspection modules, is designed as an intelligent system capable of both decision-making and machine control to support intelligent manufacturing and streamline the information flow in the process chain. Major technological issues such as part program interpretation, micro-process planning and toolpath calculation at the machine are also addressed, and a number of functional modules have been implemented along with the prototype development based on an open CNC kernel.

It’s time to patch things up. No, we’re not talking about a disagreement you’ve had with someone. We mean classic embroidered patches. They can add flair and style to just about any garment, and can promote your school, band, business or other organization at the same time.
While there are multiple ways to attach embroidered patches to fabric, iron-on and sew-on are the two most common. All things considered, iron-on patches have the advantage of being the easiest type to apply.
Let’s examine how iron-on patches work, their pros and cons and a little bit of ironing history. And of course, we’ll have complete instructions on how to properly iron on a patch.
The act of pressing wrinkles out of cloth with a hot metal object is nothing new. Paintings from centuries ago show Chinese women pressing cloth with open pans full of hot coals.
Around the late Middle Ages, blacksmiths forged flat irons. These were a simple piece of iron with a handle. Heated over a fire or stove, they became a fixture of many homes.
They weren’t easy to use. They were heavy, and usually required some sort of cloth or pad to grip the handle without getting burned. The heat rose from the iron toward the ironer. It could be difficult to gauge the “sweet spot” between sufficiently heated and too hot for the cloth being pressed, sometimes resulting in ruined clothes. And standing next to a hot stove all day wasn’t exactly fun.
Other designs followed, using charcoal, gas – connected to a gas light fixture -- or liquid fuels as an internal heat source. While an improvement, they still left much to be desired.
In 1882, Henry W. Seely, a New York inventor and associate of Thomas Edison created the first working electric iron. Over the years, his invention has evolved to the lightweight, temperature-adjustable appliances that make life so much easier today. In essence, he laid the groundwork for the creation of the iron-on patch.
Patches haven’t always been a custom fashion accessory. Patches began as a simple way to cover holes and worn spots to make garments last a bit longer.
Embroidery, on the other hand, has long been a form of decoration, with intricate tapestries and royal garments dating back hundreds of years. But for most of that time, it was a slow, labor-intensive process. That made it affordable only to the wealthy.
The development of machine embroidery in the 19th century brought embroidery to the masses. Machines could produce embroidered works that regular folks could afford. Custom patches became a possibility for uniform name patches and other uses. Then the 1960s brought patches to the forefront.
The social upheaval of the ‘60s brought a new spirit of creativity to many. Custom patches became a way to protest the Vietnam War, express support for traditional values, or simply wish someone a nice day. Shirts, jackets and jeans soon sported patches as decoration, rather than just a means to cover a worn area.
Around the same time, iron-on decals for t-shirts became popular. Although using a slightly different technology, they emulated patches in the way they became an affordable, easy way to make a statement. They paved the way for the heat-sensitive adhesives used for iron-on patches.
Today, custom printing has mostly eclipsed iron-on decals, but demand for iron-on patches remains strong. And with good reason.
Ironing on patches is the easiest way to apply them to a garment. Unlike tape backing, they’re not temporary. Best of all, you don’t have to know how to use a sewing machine, or sew them on painstakingly by hand. A few minutes with a hot iron and you have a perfectly applied patch that looks great.
If you want to go an extra step for a truly long-lasting patch, just iron it on, then add a stitch or two at the corners. You don’t have to worry about it shifting as you sew.
Iron-on patches do have some limitations. They’re not suitable for all materials.
The most important factor in deciding whether to iron on or sew on a patch is whether the garment material can take the heat of the iron. Cotton, polyester, or a poly/cotton blend are the best materials for iron-on patches. Denim jeans and jackets are well-suited for adding iron-on patches.
Some fabrics can’t take the heat needed to apply patches, which can range from about 350 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. These include:
Silk or lace
Highly elastic fabrics such as Spandex
If you find yourself dealing with any of those materials, it’s better to just resort to sewing your patches on. Otherwise, you’ll risk damaging the garment, the patch or both.
Once you’ve determined you can safely iron on your patch, you’re almost there! Just follow these easy steps:
Lay the garment flat on a smooth, heat-resistant surface.
Position your patch EXACTLY where you want it on the garment.
Place a thin towel or washcloth over the patch. Don’t try to apply the iron directly to the patch.
Set your iron to the hottest setting the material can take (the care tag can be helpful here.) Be sure the steam setting is OFF.
Set the iron on top of the covered patch and press down firmly for 15 to 20 seconds. Don’t move the iron.
Remove the iron, then carefully remove the cloth and try to lift the edge of the patch. If it does lift, replace the cloth and apply the iron for 10 seconds more. Repeat as needed until the edges don’t lift.
Let the patch cool and you’re ready to go. You’ve just successfully ironed on a patch! Laundry tip – don’t wash the garment in hot water, which could loosen the patch. Or, as noted above, add a stitch or two at the corners of the patch.
And there you have it – everything you need to know about ironing on custom patches. Feel free to express yourself and get creative in designing your patches. When you’re ready to order, we’re here to serve!

OAK CREEK, AZ (CBS5) -
Sixteen days after it began, the Slide Fire, Arizona's second major wildlands fire of the season, has been fully contained.
The human-caused fire, which started May 20 around 4 p.m. in Oak Creek Canyon just north of Slide Rock State Park, blackened 21,227 acres by Wednesday.
It cost $10.1 million to battle the blaze.
Slide Rock State Park reopened on Sunday. Normal hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. have resumed, with last park entry at 6 p.m. But due to the recent fire north of the park, the swim area will remain closed.
Residents began returning late last week. An evacuation order for the canyon was lifted at 1 p.m. May 29.
Shortly before the reopening, a half-dozen cars lined up waiting to re-enter.
"Since last Tuesday we've camped, we've driven 300 miles to stay somewhere with relatives. We came back here and spent the night in hotels," said Josh Hall, one of the renters allowed back into the area.
"I'm very clear on my feelings right now. In fact, it's high anxiety," he continued.
"I just feel so blessed that our home is still standing and our hotel guests have a place to come back to," said Butterfly Garden Inn owner Nicole Garrison.
A line of speakers took to the podium at Red Rock High School on May 28. They told the audience that although the largest fire in the history of Coconino Forest is behind them, there is still a lot of work to do, especially in regards to preparing for the monsoon.
"If you don't have flood insurance, you need to get it now. If you have any friends in the former Shultz Fire and the very soon after flood area, they can tell you how important this is," said Coconino County Emergency Management spokesperson Robert Rowley.
Now it's all about moving forward, especially for the business owners.
"We're booked fully for the next several weeks, so we need to access where it is and how we can proceed so we can get our guests back as soon as possible," said Garrison.
U.S. Highway 89A from Pine Flats campground north to the entrance of the overlook at the switchbacks remains closed. The "overlook" is now open to the public.
The Coconino National Forest issued an emergency closure on all National Forest System lands within the area of the Slide Fire on the Coconino National Forest, in Coconino and Yavapai counties.
Law enforcement authorities are asking residents to contact them if they happened to spot anyone suspicious in the area on the day the fire started between Slide Rock State Park and Half Way Picnic Area.
The public is asked to call U.S. Forest Service law enforcement at 928-527-3511 if they have any information that might assist law enforcement in the investigation.

Over the last couple of weeks, everybody has been weighing in about Bitcoin, the digital currency that might be the money of the future, or a bubble bursting right in front of us. After being worth only $30 in March, on Wednesday, Bitcoin reached an all time high of $266, then plummeting to just over $100 in a few hours, and now stabilizing around $120. When Bitcoin’s price started to increase unexpectedly, it became the one thing everybody in Silicon Valley was talking about. (For those who don’t know what Bitcoin is, this video explains it perfectly in 3 minutes).
Additionally, Vodafone, Telefonica/O2 and Everything Everywhere, the three major telecom operators in Europe. have also decided to set up mobile payment networks, added the sources.

Congestion, pollution, bumper-to-bumper traffic and nowhere to park … . The nightmare commute for most car drivers is pushing cities to contemplate new solutions and one of the answers could be the e-scooter.
In Paris, three ride-sharing companies have launched e-scooter services in a matter of months, the most recent being Taxify last week. The Estonian ride-sharing company has integrated the scooter sharing service into its mobile app and is reportedly planning to do the same in other major European towns.
Paris was the one of the first cities to introduce the concept of ride-sharing with the launch of Velib’ in 2007, which was initially for bicycles. It proved to be immensely popular at the time but has since shut down and new competitors have entered the game with a plethora of varied ride-sharing services.
According to press reports, Velib’ plans to launch again by the end of the year but with a 30% offering of electric bikes.
Another electric option, Autolib’, based on the concept of sharing electric cars, had to shut down because it was too expensive to run. Studies demonstrated that people did not use the service to replace their existing car. It is likely that the downsides of commuting with a car in a big city, whether electric or not, contributed to the service’s demise.
Food for thought, as other big cities look at ways of reducing pollution and easing congestion. It would seem that while electric is good, smaller is better for getting from A to point B in today’s megapolises.
The IEC has been preparing for the electric vehicle future—whatever the chosen mode of transport —by publishing a number of Standards. Several of these deal with charging and batteries.
For instance, IEC 62660-1, which specifies the ways of testing lithium-ion batteries for the propulsion of electric road vehicles. The Standard, the new version of which is about to be released, is prepared by Technical Committee (TC) 21.

The best of both worlds come together in this workshop to explore the process of creating miniature boxes. In the 18th century, Grand Tours were de rigueur for the royal families of Europe, as well as, wealthy young men experiencing life before settling into the demands of having a family, along with couples on their honeymoon. Many travelers commissioned miniature boxes, called souvenir boxes, to remind them of cities that they had visited or a spectacular event that they witnessed, like a circus act; or to document the excitement of a fox hunt. Some boxes were commissioned to show off an ancestral home, castle or palace. A lymnerist (miniature portrait painter) could be commissioned to paint miniature portraits of children, family and friends, making these little boxes keepsakes, as in the collection of Easter eggs created by Fabergé for Tsars Alexeander III and Nicolas II of Russia. These miniature works of art were the aristocracies’ form of souvenir collecting.
Kings and Queens commissioned souvenir boxes, presentation boxes and snuffboxes to give as gifts to loyal subjects. Nothing but the best materials was used for these little masterful gems. The boxes were made of gold, enamel, precious gems and pearls, cameos and intaglios along with miniature paintings. The craftsmanship is truly spectacular!
In this workshop we will explore techniques that lend themselves to a variety of box shapes. Using seed beads and Delica beads, fine patina copper sheet, CZ’s and pearls, tiny cup-chain, specialty findings along with embellishing and finishing materials, students will create their own souvenir box. Once the box body is underway, we will work on options for embellishing. This portion of the workshop will be really exciting, as there will be lots of samples to look at and plenty of materials to work with to create a one-of-a-kind souvenir box.
I will instruct students on how to measure and cut the metal, punch holes for adding feet and embellishments, setting small CZ’s successfully, and then walk the students through the process of gathering supplies for embellishing. As we move into the embellishing stage of the project, I will be on board to assist with decision-making and how to best approach the process of embellishing, along with color theory and moral support!
Display it or use it, either way these designs will stand the test of time as an inspiration for creating beautiful works of art!
Skill level: This workshop is advanced. The student must having beading skills but does not need any skills with using metal.
Dimensions: Oval box: 2.5 inches deep x 3.25 inches wide x 1.5 inches tall. Round box: 3 inches wide x 1.5 inches tall. Triangular box: 3 inches deep x 3 inches wide x 4 inches tall
Cutting thin patina metal and creating support materials to create structure for the box
Exploring the design process for embellishment and construction
Learn about using CZ’s, cup-chain, small pearls to add interest to the box
Learn how to use hole punches in order to attach feet and embellishments
Odd count flat peyote stitch
Optional stitches for embellishment will depend on each students design to possibly include brick stitch, herringbone, netting, RAW, CRAW etc.
Peyote stitch, even count and with increasing
Stitch-in-the-ditch shaping techniques
Specialty items are always a good thing to think about bringing to class. Cabochons, cameos, hand-painted cameos, metal pieces etc. For the larger pieces look at something no larger than about 40mm or so, whether round, oval or square, we can make it work. For smaller items like crystals, decorative beads and such, these need to be small as the box can get overloaded with details.
For seed beads and Delica beads, make sure to bring a palette that the 15°, 11° and delica beads match, then think about your embellishing beads (15°’s and 11°s) and any other beads that you think you might need. There are so many options! Think small though.
Materials fee: $140.00 (This fee includes the following materials to make 3 boxes)
Materials that are included in the materials fee:
• 36 gauge patina copper, color of choice for one oval box
• 36 gauge patina copper, color of choice for a round box
• 36 gauge patina copper, color of choice for a triangular box
• Template plastic for support material for three boxes
• Gridded template plastic for making templates for three boxes
• Ultrasuede for three boxes
• 1 roll each of ¼’ and 1” wide Terrifically Tacky Tape
• 1 full color Beadwork & Metal: Meet in the Middle Book
What I will have in class for sale:
The Treasures Table: For this event I will have the following:
Antique 19th century buttons
Hand-painted Russian cameos
Italian shell cameos
Swarovski 14PP cup-chain in 5 colors and finishes
Swarovski 4mm cup chain in 2 colors
CZ set baby cup-chain in 7 colors plus baby pearl cup chain

Patina copper in 12 colors
Pencils & Ultra Fine Point permanent markers
Teflon scissors for cutting metal, plastic and Terrifically Tacky Tape
Template plastic, regular heavy weight and gridded
Terrifically Tacky Tape in 2 widths
Ultrasuede LT in lots of colors
What you will need to bring to class: The following list of materials is a guide as to what was used in my samples.
Materials: The quantities can change due to your needs, as well as, what box shape you plan on making in class, but this is a good guide.
10 - 15 grams 15° seed beads (main color)
1 - 3 grams each of 15° seed beads in a small palette of color for accent
1-2 grams each of a series of 15° seed beads in a gradation of color for flowers if desired
30 grams of Delica beads that matches the 15° main seed beads
10 grams 11° seed beads (main color)
3- 5 grams each of 11° seed beads in a small palette of color for accent
1-3 grams of a series of 11° seed beads in a gradation of color for flowers if desired
An assortment of embellishing beads: This is a pretty wide-open category but think along the lines of crystals, semi-precious beads, specialty beads, spacers in metal and/or glass, Charlottes, pearls etc.
Specialty pieces for the top of the oval and round boxes and the sides of the triangular boxes so think about cabochons, cameos, glass pieces etc.
Microcrystalline beading wax
Nylon beading thread in a variety of colors
Beading needles: Size 11, 12, 13 and 15 beading needles. You may need a few sharps for tight places

Wyoming Drops Tough Game to SMU
Junior forward Larry Nance Jr. notched 16 points and a season-high 13 rebounds to help the University of Wyoming men's basketball team lead SMU late on Friday night in the Arena-Auditorium, but the Mustangs closed the game with an 11-2 run to earn a hard-fought 62-54 win over the Cowboys. The loss snapped a 27-game non-conference home winning streak for the Pokes (7-4) during the regular season, as the Mustangs collected their 10th win on the year.
"As good a job as we did in the paint the first half, our defense was really, really porous in the second half," UW head coach Larry Shyatt said. "It was a combination of our interior players not quite having the fight that we had in the first half combined with a couple missed assignments. But we still had an opportunity to win that ball game with three and half minutes to play, and really just didn't execute what we wanted to get done on the offensive end."
Wyoming had one of its worst statistical nights of the season. The Pokes shot a season-low 34 percent (16-of-46) from the field and hit just 26 percent (6-of-23) beyond the arc. UW's 23 three attempts were a season high, while its 16 field goals were a season low. SMU connected on 45 percent (25-of-55) from the field but just two of its seven three-point attempts. The Mustangs earned a season-high 34 points in the paint for a UW opponent and outrebounded the Pokes 39-29.

Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch by Nancy Atherton
*Copy received through NetGalley.
|Title:||Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch|
|Publisher:||Penguin Group (USA)|
|Pub Date:||April 26, 2012|
When Amelia Thistle moves to Finch, her new neighbors welcome her with open arms-and inquiring minds. Among them is Lori Shepherd, who isn't fooled by Amelia's unassuming persona. Amelia is, in fact, a world-famous artist with a rabid and eager-to-stalk fan base.
In order to keep peace in Finch, Lori must help Amelia conceal her identity. Amelia, meanwhile, sets about working on the riddle that brought her to town in the first place. A fragment of a family diary hints that one of Amelia's ancestors might have been Mistress Meg, the Mad Witch of Finch. Following the clue, Lori hunts through Finch's darkest and most secret corners, all the while dodging nosy neighbors and Amelia's frantic fans. With Aunt Dimity's otherworldly help, Lori inches closer to the true story of Mistress Meg-and Amelia.
Returning to the charming world of Finch, Nancy Atherton's latest novel is sure to delight faithful Aunt Dimity readers, Anglophiles, and cozy mystery fans.
|This is the seventeenth book in the Aunt Dimity series and I hadn't read any of these books before I requested this one on NetGalley. But it really caught my attention, as I love cozy mysteries, I'm a total Anglophile, and anything with witches is a must read for me. I just hoped my zero knowledge of the previous books won't affect the joy of reading the Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch. And it didn't at all. This book, even though part of a series, stands on its own without a problem and it only made me curious about the whole history of Aunt Dimity!
It is set in a small town in England called Finch. There are many different and colourful characters. But the good people of Finch have one thing in common, they all love a good gossip. So when there's a newcomer in the town everyone watches Amelia Thistle to move into her new home. But what a surprise when someone realizes that she is not who she pretends to be! Lori, the main character and "investigator", of course has to know the truth. Not only because it's essential for the peaceful life in Finch, but also because she is simply incredibly curious and nosy. From this point an intricate tale starts and many story lines are masterly woven together.
I loved this cozy, it had everything a good cozy mystery should have. A small town with a great range of characters where the main one is a likable and clever woman. There is a great sense of humour (I laughed countless times!), there is a tiny bit of romance, and of course there is the mystery! And in this case the mystery was especially interesting. It took us three hundred years back when the witch hunts were a normal thing. And thanks to the witch hunt theme the book got quite serious several times when getting into the details of torturing the innocent women who were accused of witchcraft. On one hand this was quite sad and painful when the vicar wife, Lilian said:
"What's sick," snapped Lilian, in a voice that was far from neutral and no longer scholarly, "is the willingness of one human being to brutally torment another in the name of God or country or anything else."
On the other it nicely balanced the otherwise lighthearted tone of the book and made it more whole.
All in all this was an amazing cozy that made laugh and even cry. I'm definitely reading the other books in the series some time in the future!

I got a little carried away answering this, sorry…
I take my EUs of my longest and most beloved fandom very seriously.
Matthew Lewis is the definition of kicking puberty’s ass.
YOU ARE DOING MAGIC HOMEWORK FOR YOUR MAGIC CLASSES AT YOUR MAGIC SCHOOL WITH YOUR MAGIC FRIENDS.
I WOULD GLADLY TRADE PLACES WITH YOU. WANNA DO MY MUGGLE HOMEWORK?
When you think about it, this explains Hermione.
Hermione got her letter and was like “Fuck yes, I don’t have to be a dentist. I’m going to do all the magics.”
Guys. They are making new covers for Harry Potter to be released to celebrate the 15th anniversary next month.
The new trade paperback editions will come out in September, to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the U.S. publication of the series.
The cover artist for the books is Kazu Kibuishi, who is best known for his bestselling graphic novel series, Amulet. Each book cover will depict a pivotal scene from the respective book.
“The Harry Potter covers by Mary GrandPré are so fantastic and iconic,” Kibuishi told Scholastic for their press release. “When I was asked to submit samples, I initially hesitated because I didn’t want to see them reinterpreted! However, I felt that if I were to handle the project, I could bring something to it that many other designers and illustrators probably couldn’t, and that was that I was also a writer of my own series of middle grade fiction. As an author myself, I tried to answer the question, ‘If I were the author of the books - and they were like my own children - how would I want them to be seen years from now?’ When illustrating the covers, I tried to think of classic perennial paperback editions of famous novels and how those illustrations tend to feel. In a way, the project became a tribute to both Harry Potter and the literary classics.”
Mary GrandPré’s original art will continue to be featured on the hardcover and digest paperback editions of the books.
There are currently more than 150 million Harry Potter books in print in the U.S. alone and the series still hits bestseller lists regularly. The series is published in over 200 places in 73 languages and has sold more than 450 million copies worldwide.

Analysis of Annabel Leegreenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread
I would appreciate it if i could get an analysis of the poem "Annabel Lee", ASAP....thanks so much....
-- Anonymous, June 06, 2001
With the bare hints of a medieval)"Kingdom" "high-born kinsmen") ballad setting("long ago," "you may know"- familiarity with a popular ballad?)the poem launches into a relentless onomatopeia echo of the waves on the shore. Most of these settings usually turn gothically grim and this is no exception.
His two breaks in the alternating rhyme scheme(waves vary too!)signify two important emotions typical of this late stage of his life. The first couplet ("older than we" "far wiser than we")is bitterly mocking in tone of his distinguished foes and oppressors(angels in heaven). See the dwarf and girl in the story "Hop-Frog". Instead of providing heavenly Hope he blames their "envy" for intentionally separating them.(An Orpheus moment, but totally defiant) Nothing can "ever dissever my soul from the soul of Annabel Lee." This recalls ideal love as in "Al Araaf" that uses the same sound combo for emphasis. A chill wind from the angels destroys her. the "love more a love" is beyond marital bonding to a metaphysical plane as soul is to body("To my Mother" speaks of his lost Virginia this way. So on the boundary "by the sea" he lies down by the body, the one physical reality they share though their souls are onm two different sides. For Poe the borderland could be mixed and crossed with the real world and the beyond- at least in the mind or dreams. The second couplet addition "by the side" "Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride" is probably the most intense expression of this sorrowful, poignant defiance and proclamation. No, Poe did not sleep with his wife's dead body!
The tide, the "sounding sea" has the last word. The effect, if it does not seem to exagerrated for your taste is very powerful, disturbing, tragically defiant and sorrowful. Not to be a wet blanket, but the narrator, despite his total bonding with his innocent beloved is very self-absorbed with his denial, suffering, possession of the beloved and anger.
Two versions of the last line: "by the side of the sea," keeps the rhythm too bubbly with a repetition of the word side that might be distracting. "sounding" adds a downbeat conclusion, a remorseless finale. The poedecoder.com site might mention the poem. biographies do. Poe tried to sell, resell and use this poem in his desperate, doomed courtships during his last year. Given the poem's dark self absorption and the dying commission of Virginia to remarry and look to her for spiritual help(see the late tale "Eleanora"), this is not so cold or strange as it might appear. The poem under those circumstances was attributed Poe to other women and seemed to be a blatant lie, but one that can confuse the issue. His happier poem to virginia I believe is "Eulalie". "Ulalume" could be another remembrance of her death.
Virginia's own poem is more charming and sharing, longing for the simple bliss and her their mutual happiness.
I am sure there is more imagery and technique to be analyzed, but this is all I can do at present. See texts and variants at ww.eapoe.org.

Hey bud,ezekiel herman whatever. Man, this is a great poem and if you don't think so, I think you're missing something upstairs like a brain or some other form of intelligence. You probably the only guy who thinks Enimen is a poet. Edgar Allan Poe is a great poet and this is one of his best works.

Tip #1: Watch Their Live-Streamed Games on Twitch.
Just like the other sports on campus, students can show their support to the esports teams by watching their games. The difference is that esports games are streamed on Twitch instead of played in a gym or on a field. While many inexperienced non-gamers might be intimidated by watching these games without any knowledge of what’s going on, Brockton reassures them that this shouldn’t be a problem because these streamed games are talked through by announcers called “casters”. He explains, “The Twitch live-streams are shoutcasted matches of our Varsity players, with special attention paid to decreasing the biggest barrier-to-entry in our scene: knowledge.” The goal of shoutcasting the matches is to encourage more of the DSU community to tune in to their games.
Tip #2: Patience is Key to Understanding Esports.
As expected, learning the ropes of esports takes time. Valorant player Caleb Schneider says that “the games won’t make a lot of sense at first glance,” but he encourages new players that “it is very similar to learning how a normal sport works.” Another player, Tyler Thomas, agrees and claims that “simply watching gameplay is one of the best places to start in a complex shooter game like Valorant and that’s where most of our players started too!” The best way to learn how to appreciate esports is to be brave, get involved, and figure out the rest as you go.
Tip #3: Ask Questions.
Joining the world of esports can be scary at first even if you do follow the above tips. That’s why the esports team suggests that new supporters speak up and ask questions. Caleb says, “Another good way to learn is to talk about the game and ask questions with someone who is an experienced player.” These questions can be asked directly, but Tyler explains that “There’s also a live chat where you can cheer and chat with the rest of the viewers or even ask the caster questions during the game. From my experience, anyone in the esports program would gladly help anyone understand more about gaming since that’s essentially half of our lives.” Learning anything new can be hard, including esports, but DSU has a great group of gamers who will gladly help and encourage anyone who shows interest in learning more about their sport.
Tip #4: Cheer Them on!
Even if you don’t quite have a grip on the ins and outs of esports yet, you can still use your voice to cheer them on. According to Tyler, even dropping a few emotes in the livestream chat is enough to show love to the esports team. Caleb adds that “what means the most to us is just watching and trying to cheer us on even if our supporters don’t fully understand what is going on.” Andrew Geurts, a Fighting Games player, also appreciates the support from community members who join their livestreams. He says, “I know for our scene, we always find it enjoyable when someone is watching our bracket live and commentating in Twitch chat. I can only imagine that that kind of support is really appreciated across the whole esports scene.”
Tip #5: Check Out Their Discord.
Another way to get involved or ask the esports teams questions, is to log on to their Discord. Brockton explains, “Our Discord server is our best point of contact for everyone within our organization, from inquiring within with questions or getting more involved!” The team’s Discord is a great place for all new supporters to start looking for information and showing their support.

Smartwool Intraknit Merino 200 Crew: first impressions
On the rack, this light, minimalist base layer boasts a classic long-sleeve crew design to keep you warm in cold weather conditions. This is a medium weight, slim-fitting base layer combining the moisture-wicking capability of merino wool with the fast-drying time and durability of polyester.
This top provides thermoregulating, sweat management and odor-resistant technology so it’s what you need when you plan to get hot and sweaty in cold weather. The design uses 3D knitting technology to result in a snug, precise fit without adding annoying, scratchy seams while mesh panels are knit into the garment where you need them to enhance breathability. This allows you to move easily and break a sweat in colder weather without sacrificing comfort.
This high quality garment comes with a high price tag but should keep you warm and comfortable through a lot of winters and makes a worthy addition to your outdoor kit in colder months.

Smartwool Intraknit Merino 200 Crew: on the trails
This is not my first rodeo with a Smartwool base layer but they last so long and so well that it’s over a decade since I’ve needed a new one, so I was excited to test this one out and it didn’t disappoint.
I really like my base layers to be slim fitting without feeling restrictive and Smartwool have got this down to a fine art. This one fits like a glove yet I can easily move in all the ways I want to for winter sports from cold-weather trail running to skiing uphill.
I worked up a good sweat in this top and it was definitely super breathable and I was dry again soon after which is just what I’m looking for in a base layer. Also, because it’s made of Merino wool, it didn’t get stinky afterwards. I don’t like to wash my base layers after every use to make them last longer so this is really important to me.
The design is super minimalist. All of my other Smartwool base layers feature a 3/4 zip which I do typically unzip when I’m uphilling on skis and snowshoes, but I found I didn’t miss it with this top, owing to its breathability. It doesn’t feature thumb loops which is not a big deal for me but I know it can be a dealbreaker for some.
Finally, it looks good on and I’d be happy to wear it around town as well as on the hill, which is a bonus.
It certainly runs pricier than a lot of other base layers, but as I already attested, if you take care of these (meaning, cold gentle wash and don’t tumble dry them) they’ll last you over a decade even if you give them a beating every winter like I do. In the long run, you’ll probably save money buying one of these instead of one at half the price which needs replacing every couple of years.
As I said, it’s not my first Smartwool base layer and it’s unlikely to be my last.
Here’s how they performed:
True to size. The only reason to size up would be if you like a looser fit but remember, this is very stretchable and I’m convinced you want your base layers to be skin tight.
Slim fitting, long sleeved crew. The company uses 3D knitting technology to produce what they call a more precise fit and while I don’t fully understand what that is, it works and looks good.
Very comfortable in terms of movement and barely any of that scratchy wool feel at all.
This base layer does the job it’s supposed to do: keeps you warm in cold weather and cools you off when you start sweating by wicking the moisture away and drying quickly. It’s a medium weight so good for very cold temperatures, but might be too warm under some conditions.
No ventilation chest zip but with this breathable fabric, you won’t need one. If you get sweaty, you’ll dry out quickly in this top and won’t feel too hot unless you’re wearing it in warm weather.
Though I haven’t had this for a decade like my other Smartwool base layers, based on the quality I expect it to last at least as long.
Here’s where we tested the Smartwool Intraknit Merino 200 Crew:

By Vincent Ujumadu, Awka
THE commercial city of Onitsha stood still yesterday as the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo led the national chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Odigie Oyegun, national officers and governors of the party, to flag off the campaign of its candidate for the November 18 election in Anambra State, Dr. Tony Nwoye.
The All Saints Cathedral field, venue of the event, was jam-packed and traffic in the city was brought to a stand still for several hours as motorist found it difficult to drive around.
Presenting Nwoye to the mammoth crowd, Osinbajo, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari, said the APC led government was not making promises for nothing, explaining that work on the 2nd Niger Bridge had already begun as it was contained in this year’s budget.
According to him, “the president is a man who loves Anambra State because the first time he ran for president, he chose Dr. Chuba Okadigbo as his running mate and the second time he ran, he also chose Chief Edwin Umezeoke as his running mate.”
“This is also the state where President Buhari started his school feeding programme. If you vote Tony Nwoye in as the governor, you will be making the right choice and if you make the right choice, you will get the right result.”
In his speech, the national chairman of APC, Chief Odigie Oyegun reminded the people that APC removed a sitting Federal Government and asked the people if they were ready to do the right thing.
He said: “This is an election that will decide whether you are serious in your quest to become relevant politically. If you vote for Nwoye, Igbo people will be taking their prominent position in Nigeria.
“I am from the minority and I know that this country stands on a tripod, but one leg of that tripond is missing at the national level. The surest route for Igbo to be in national leadership is through APC.
“We want to give our president a special present and the best present we can give him is Nwoye as the governor of Anambra State in November this year.”
Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha appealed to Anambra electorate to vote for Nwoye because he (Okorocha) needed a brother from the South East to the center.
“Before now, when I looked around, I saw El Rufai and other governors who are not my brothers from this part of the country. If Anambra State must move forward, you must give youths the chance and Tony Nwoye is a young man,” Okorocha said.
Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir ElRufai said Nigerians were being deceived by labeling APC as a Muslim party and urged the people not to allow people use religion to confuse them.

November 17, 1780: This month, the first paper wine bottle label was printed in Germany. The lithographic printing method made it possible to manufacture miniature labels in large numbers that had all of the necessary information to identify the wine by the place it was produced, the sort of wine it was, and the winemaker.
November 17, 1890: On this day, Maximiano Errázuriz died. Maximiano Errázuriz Valdivieso was a politician, businessman, and winemaker from Chile with Basque ancestry. Maximiano Errazuriz was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1832. He was the son of Francisco Javier de Errázuriz y Aldunate and Rosario Fernández de Valdivieso y Zaartu (the sister of Archbishop Rafael Valentin Valdivieso). Before moving to Valparaiso, Chile, which at the time was one of the country’s and South America’s major ports, Maximiano Errazuriz attended school in Santiago. There, he met Amalia Urmeneta Quiroga, the daughter of José Tomás Urmeneta, the richest man in the nation, who would become his wife. Amalia was 18 years old and Maximiano was 22 when they tied the knot in 1855. He purchased some land in Panquehue, a little village in the Aconcagua Valley, north of Santiago, and established a vineyard there in 1870, once more imitating his father-in-law. In total, 300 hectares of Panquehue were planted by Maximiano Errazuriz. According to information accessible at the time, his son Rafael later increased the plantings to 700 hectares, making the Errazuriz vineyard the biggest vineyard in the hands of a single person in the whole world.
November 17, 1991: On this day, the topic of the French Paradox was discussed in the episode of the American television show 60 Minutes that aired on November 17. This resulted in a significant rise in the amount of attention paid to the positive effects of red wine‘s moderate consumption on one’s health. It rapidly resulted in about one-third of the amount of red wine sold in the United States.
November 17, 2005: Mae Chan Winery gained its geographical indications (GI) protection products in Chiang Rai, Phetcha Bun on this day. Mae Chan winery uses varieties such as Shiraz, Dornfelder, Tempranillo, and many other varieties supplied globally.

HISTORY OF THE|
UNITED STATED COAST GUARD
East Beach Station, St. Simons Island, Georgia
1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), authorized the building of 45 United States Coast Guard Stations around the country. Later that same year, Georgia Senator Walter F. George, and Georgia Congressman Braswell Deen obtained an $115,000 appropriation from Congress for the new Coast Guard Station and Boathouse to be built on St. Simons Island. Work began in the fall of 1935 and of all the stations built during that time, only St. Simons and two others are believed still standing.
The East Beach site was chosen by Capt. M.T. Hite a civil engineer with the Coast Guard. The property was originally given to Glynn County for use as a park by Mrs. E. C. Bruce. When the government became interested in the site, she waived the stipulation concerning the tract and granted the county the right to donate it for the location of a life-saving station along with property from Mr. J. Hunter Hopkins. In February 1930, the Sea Island Company sold three plots of land to the United States Treasury Department for the total sum of $1.00 for a boathouse on the Frederica River, a short distance from the site of the life-saving station.
The station and the boathouse had their "First Watch" on April 1, 1937. The St. Simons Island site was officially designated the East Beach Station, and was under the command of the Second United States Coast Guard District headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. When the station was first opened, the original beach front was located just a few feet from the front door. Since that time, sands have filled in the area currently between the station and the ocean (now the large parking lot). The original mission for the personnel at the East Beach Station was to watch for swimmers in distress, and log the passing of all planes and ships. In late 1930s and 40s, automobiles were allowed on the beach at low tide, and there are reports of some recreational car races.
Log sheets from the early days of 1937-1945 reveal the daily lives of the Coast Guardsmen assigned to this station. A single ranking "Boson” supervised a crew comprised of 10-12 "surfmen” and "mates”. Among his other duties the Boson kept the log, assigned duties for search and rescue of missing fisherman, boaters and swimmers, help during local disasters including structure fires and road accidents, storm damage clean-up and any other "call for aid” the station received. However, life changed for the coasties stationed on St. Simons Island with the outbreak of WWII. In 1941, the United States Coast Guard was transferred from the Treasury Department to the War Department, under the auspices of the United States Navy.
And in early 1942, the war came home to the coast of Georgia. On April 8, 1942, a German submarine, U-123, under the command of Kapitanleutnant Reinhard Hardegan, sank two merchant ships off the coast of St. Simons Island. The ships were the SS Oklahoma, and the Esso Baton Rouge. Most of the crewmen on these two ships were asleep when they were torpedoed. The Coast Guardsmen, as well as locals sprang to action. Rescues were mounted. In all, twenty-two men lost their lives. The surviving crew members and one ship’s mascot (a little yellow dog) were taken, almost naked, to the Coast Guard station to await further instructions.
Although it is now believed all of the seamen were accounted for, it may never be known if that is correct. Five of the recovered bodies could not be identified and were buried together in the same plot in Brunswick. Eventually, one was identified, disinterred, and sent home for burial. The remaining four are still buried at Brunswick’s Palmetto Cemetery with the marker reading "UNKNOWN SEAMEN…1942”. In 1999, and under the direction of Don Robertson, St. Simons Island, and the Propeller Club, the four remaining seamen were identified. However, to this day, none of the four men’s relatives have been found. A new tombstone, with their names engraved was dedicated to them on Maritime Day, May 22, 1999.
A New Mission
After this incident, the mission of the Coast Guard station changed once more. Three weeks after this incident, President Roosevelt called for the coastal blackout. The US Navy sent blimps from the Glynco Naval Air Station in Brunswick to patrol along the Georgia coast looking for submarines, and sailors learned about radar tracking at the Navy’s radar training school held at the King & Prince Hotel.
Shore patrols with civilian volunteers manned the beaches, and were known as the Coast Guard Auxiliary, serving under the command of the local Coast Guard unit. The Coast Guard had instructions to keep a vigilant watch, but they were not to engage the enemy. All military engagements were to be conducted by the United States Army or Navy. All incidents of a suspicious nature were to be turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would then determine if the information required further investigatory work. These conditions remained in effect until the end of World War II.
On January 1, 1946, the United States Coast Guard, and the East Beach Station, were transferred back to the Department of the Treasury. Owing to the improvements and advances in communications, the mission of the East Beach Station changed yet again. They no longer looked out for swimmers, and discontinued sightings of planes and ships. Now, they were to do all monitoring for Coast Guard assignments by radio, especially "ship to shore”, and by telephone. However, the men continued to be housed at the beach, though they no longer had sea watch duties. The boats remained at the boathouse on the Frederica River.
In the spring of 1967, the United States Coast Guard was transferred to the newly created Department of Transportation. As St. Simons Island grew, and many more tourists began to visit, automobile traffic on the island increased. The Coast Guard found it much more difficult to make their way from the East Beach Station to the Frederica River boathouse when they needed to get out on the water for rescue and safety reasons.
In 1975, the there was an unsuccessful attempt at legislation to build a new housing facility for $2,000,000 at Gascoigne Bluff, just north of the boathouse. On January 14, 1982, the Coast Guard tried for a second time to consolidate facilities in the same manner as the 1975 proposal. Again, they were rebuffed by Congress.
Then on October 13, 1993, the boathouse on the Frederica River caught fire and burned to the ground. It was considered a total loss. Now the Coast Guard had housing facilities on the beach, but no mission for the beach area, and no area for their boats. Again, a plea was sent to Congress for a new station. Finally, in the fall of 1995, the East Beach Station was decommissioned, and all communications, housing and boating facilities were moved to land owned by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This new station, located on the south side of the Sidney Lanier Bridge in Brunswick, was commissioned that same year. As of March 1, 2003, the United States Coast Guard is now under the command of the Department of Homeland Security.
The men of the Untied States Coast Guard, who were known affectionately as "Coasties”, were heroic, did their duty, stood silent watch, and manned their posts. Although there is no attribution for the saying, all Coasties lived by an unofficial motto.
"YOU HAVE TO GO OUT, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO COME BACK!"
When the last of the Coasties left the East Beach Station in 1995, they expressed hope that even though the station was in an aging condition, that one day it could be refurbished and become a museum. Under the direction of the Coastal Georgia Historical Society and with donations from their many benefactors that dream has been realized.


About 3000 people turned out in appalling weather in Sydney to demand an end to the horror the Abbott government is inflicting on asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island, and call for an end to refugee detention. View photos and video here.
The 65-year-old Afghan asylum seeker the government wants to deport to Afghanistan has been given a reprieve, until his court case can be heard. But he remains at risk of deportation if he loses, unless we can create enough political pressure on the Australian and Afghan governments to prevent it.
Newborn babies should not be separated from their mothers. But the Immigration Department did just that to newborn Ferouz and his mother Latifar, a 31 year-old Tamil refugee – even though Ferouz was sick and in hospital. Now mother and child are to be sent back to traumatic and unsafe conditions in Nauru.
The Salvation Army has told asylum seekers on Nauru internet access will be limited to 30 minutes every two days, one friend will not be able to help another, and reduced time for Mahdi to update their Facebook page telling asylum seekers’ stories to the public.


Gladstone Park is one of six neighborhood parks created by the Jefferson Park District. Established in 1920, the Jefferson Park District was one of 22 park commissions consolidated into the Chicago Park District in 1934. In 1923, the Gladstone Park Community Club approached the Jefferson Park District about locating a park in the former Gladstone Park subdivision, named for British Prime Minister William Gladstone (1809-1898). The park district took action the following year, purchasing parkland and naming it after the community group. In 1930, the landscaped park gained a small fieldhouse designed by Clarence Hatzfeld, architect of many Chicago park buildings, including the nearby Jefferson Park fieldhouse.
