Closing the Digital Divide in Rural Communities
Across the US, rural communities aren’t afforded the same luxury of wireless accessibility as urban cities. In fact, at least 45 million people do not have broadband access at all. This means millions cannot use the internet for school, work, or leisure, which hinders their ability to communicate and have the same career opportunities as others in more connected areas. It’s long been understood that rural communities are neglected and have sparse wireless coverage, but as 5G continues to sweep the nation the digital divide between rural and urban communities is widening and becoming an even bigger problem.
In areas, such as tribal lands, only half of households subscribe to fixed home internet service. To help close this digital divide, the Biden administration is offering $1 billion in grants to eligible tribal land entities for broadband deployment as well as for digital inclusion, workforce development, distance learning, and telehealth.
Additionally, the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) has also taken the initiative to allocate funding into rural communities and their infrastructures to ensure they have durable networks with higher speeds and lower latency. This $20.4 billion fund aims to bring rural communities high-speed fixed broadband access. The proposal is divided into two phases. Phase one auctions broadband to help provide over five million homes and businesses with download speeds of at least 25 Mbps. Phase two covers other census blocks that were not completely covered.
Sometimes, areas subjected to wireless neglect would surprise you. That’s because a lack of connectivity isn’t always due to a lack of finances and prioritization, but a logistics challenge. Yosemite National Park is a prime example of a rural area that is at risk of low connectivity, despite being a national tourist destination. The area encompasses 1,200 miles of wilderness and has around 4.5 million visitors a year that need their phone to access trails and communicate with each other. Fortunately, ADRF was capable of aiding Yosemite in implementing broadband access in areas where it was absent, such as the visitor center. During the deployment, ADRF had to overcome challenges caused by huge rock formations and trees along with having to quickly install the system to reduce the disturbance to visitors in the park.
Rural connectivity is a continuous problem that looms over different areas in the nation. ADRF’s SDR-ICS series can help increase rural wireless connectivity by enhancing indoor and outdoor coverage while ensuring wireless coverage in even the most remote locations. It supports frequency bands from 600 Mhz to 2.5GHz including Band 14 (FirstNet). While ADRF’s SDR-ICS aids in increasing rural connectivity, the accessibility of the product is very useful in times of crisis as well. Major carriers, such as Verizon, used this product as a cellular repeater on wheels (CROW) during devastating hurricanes and other disasters to assist those in need.

Ever tie anything into a double knot? I lot of times, by the time you get to the second step of that knot, the first part has loosened. Ab-so-lutely maddening!
I’ve discovered that a ‘surgeon’s knot’ is the perfect knot to use when tying something tricky. Lets say that you’re following a fabric flower pattern. The instructions say to use a running stitch to thread 5 fabric petals onto a length of strong thread. Then tie the ends of thread together to form a petal ring.
Here’s the solution for ya. When tying that double knot, simply throw an extra pass into the first step. That is, wind that thread around a second time. That will usually create enough friction to hold that first part of the knot so that you can finish the second part without the first part getting all loosie-goosie.
Left end over right 2 times and tighten a little (adds friction and will reduce loosening,) then right end. over left 1 time. Pull to secure and trim ends.
Tip: If you are still having trouble, run your thread over a little beeswax or thread conditioner before you start tying. You can even use a candle in a pinch!
Blessings and happy sewing,

Lehigh University officials on Tuesday announced an “indefinite ban” on hard alcohol at fraternity events due to “the alarmingly high number” of alcohol-related medical calls this semester, according to a statement posted on the college’s Greek community blog.
Fraternities will no longer serve hard liquor at social and recruitment events “in order to create a safer environment for its students,” according to the statement posted by the Interfraternity Council, which includes students from some of Lehigh’s fraternities.
“This self-imposed ban is an attempt to focus on the health and safety of our community members as well as regain the credibility we have lost in recent semesters,” reads the council’s statement. “It’s on us, as a community, to create a safe environment for students while holding all members accountable.”
The hard alcohol ban is a “fraternity leadership-driven effort,” university spokeswoman Lori Friedman said Tuesday.
“The students have had a number of conversations across the past few months regarding alcohol-related incidents and identified hard alcohol as a primary driver in those incidents,” Friedman said in an email. “This is one of many steps they are taking to address problematic behavior and move the community forward.”
IFC members referred media requests to Friedman.
The ban comes after concerns last year about “extreme drinking” and the near death of four students because of it. That prompted Lehigh officials to order increased patrols by campus and city officers to target student partying. University officials at the time also expressed alarm about the use of hard alcohol by students.
It’s on us, as a community, to create a safe environment for students while holding all members accountable.— Interfraternity Council statement on hard alcohol ban at Lehigh fraternities
In the first several weeks of the 2017 fall semester, city and university police cited nearly 150 Lehigh students for alcohol-related offenses, far surpassing the number of similar charges at other Lehigh Valley colleges, according to a Morning Call analysis of court records.
Bethlehem police Chief Mark DiLuzio partnered with university police to add patrols in off-campus areas where dozens of students were cited for underage drinking or having loud parties that spilled into the streets. DiLuzio said Tuesday he was pleased to hear about the hard alcohol ban, adding that some of the added police patrols remain in effect.
“If it saves a life, it’s for damn sure worth it,” he said of the ban. “It’s a tough decision because we live in a society where everyone feels entitled to do whatever they want because it feels good. This is a step in the right direction.”
Chapters that violate the hard alcohol ban will be subject to indefinite suspension of all chapter activities, the statement reads. Each violation will be evaluated case by case, according to the statement, and other sanctions may include suspending recruitment or losing eligibility to take on new members.
Matt Rothberg, a senior and Student Senate president, said he supports the hard alcohol ban.
“I think it’s great they’re taking the initiative to be proactive,” Rothberg said. “I’m hoping that over the next few weeks, when the new member recruitment process takes place, that all their various organizations will do their best to make sure everyone is safe and follows the rules.”
Rothberg said that in the last year, it seemed like more people across the country are aware of alcohol-related problems.
Last year, the death of Penn State student Tim Piazza during fraternity hazing highlighted the issue of the dangers of college drinking. It then hit close to home when McCrae Williams, a 19-year-old freshman at Lafayette College in Easton, died Sept. 11 of a head injury after what officials called a day of drinking.
“I think all leaders around campus — students, administrators etc. — are doing their best to make sure Lehigh isn’t just another statistic, but a leader in preventing alcohol abuse,” Rothberg said.
He said there are other efforts underway to try to tackle the issue, including an event next week in which there will be a roundtable discussion where members of the student body will be invited to talk to police officers.

Vice Provost Ricardo Hall also recently published a statement about hazing on the university’s Greek life blog. The entry notes that Hall shared the email with students Jan. 12.
This is students stepping up, policing themselves and taking some responsibility. It’s alcohol. It’s not worth dying for.— Bethlehem police Chief Mark DiLuzio
Hall wrote that he is “clear and unwavering” in his support of Greek life, but added he is “also a realist.”
“Lehigh is not immune to the individual and organizational behaviors that have been recently demonstrated on campuses around the country,” Hall’s email read. “Alcohol abuse, sexual assault, hazing-related injuries and fatalities — all in no way related to the ideals of Greek letter organizations, but a sad, dangerous and ongoing reality — are recurring themes in news articles, court cases and campus and online discussions.
“For Greek life to not just survive, but thrive, at Lehigh, all such behavior cannot, and will not, be an acceptable or otherwise ‘ok’ component of our students’ Greek experience. Period,” Hall’s email states.
In November, the university temporarily dissolved the Sigma Chi fraternity citing an off-campus champagne party where one student drank to excess and needed hospitalization, but “none of the members called for help,” according to the university’s Greek community blog. The Oct. 13 incident included two students hospitalized after alcohol-related medical calls and another student was cited for underage drinking.
DiLuzio said the large number of student arrests for alcohol-related issues made addressing the issue a priority for police as well as Lehigh administrators.
“If all those arrests didn’t happen over the fall, this ban wouldn’t be in place today,” he said. “This is students stepping up, policing themselves and taking some responsibility. It’s alcohol. It’s not worth dying for.”

Frequent flyer programs provide advantages over and beyond free aviation. You are able to earn miles without so much traveling anywhere.
If you're a frequent traveler you may have considered enrolling yourself in a frequent flyer program or chances are you already have a range of regular flyer cards flying round on your pocket. You can find more information about the benefits of the American Airlines AAdvantage program via visiting online.
Image Source: Google
You've probably thought about acquiring a regular flyer so that you can earn miles for free travel. Peoples who have to travel a lot because of their jobs or for other reasons like visiting family, a schedule such as among these is a really wise option.
Within the last couple of years, airlines are producing new methods for you to find award tickets. You get free miles to get the miles that you fly on a specific airline. The fantastic reason co-branded charge cards that enable you to collect miles are rewarding for several carriers. The idea behind these programs is that the airlines need their passengers to become life customers since it's considerably more expensive for the drivers to find new clients than it is to keep those that they already have.
It's simple to comprehend, for every mile the airline clients traveling, they make a mile of frequent flyer miles. They need to travel on the airline they signed up. American Airlines frequent flyers don't make flyer miles when they journey on a Delta flight. It's smartest to select 1 airline and adhere with it, instead of attempting to collect air miles with many airlines. The more often you fly, the higher your own awards.

A Southwest Airlines pilot has come to the Johnson Elementary School Kaleidoscope class for three years, through a program which is geared toward fifth-graders to teach them career goals and aviation science.
Junior Captain Ron Creel has been involved in the adopt-a-pilot program for seven years and a Southwest Airlines pilot for 13.
Creel has been coming four times a year since 2017, and led the class on a paper airplane competition as well as a mini quiz bowl.
Creel read off questions to a pair of fifth-grade students seated at a table at the front of the entire classroom.
The student who buzzed in first and got the question right got to stay while the losing student had to sit down.
Questions about time zones, the science behind airplanes and call backs from previous experiments were some of Creel’s favorites as the Johnson students answered close to 100 of the trivia questions.
Connor Creel, son of the visiting pilot, helped his dad out by handing personalized goody bags to his classmates. Among the items in the bags was instructions for a paper airplane for a contest with the winner walking away with a small scale replica of a commercial jet.
Ron Creel said he used to coordinate the adopt a pilot program for the Atlanta area. He said there a several pilots around Atlanta who participate in the program however he is the only one in the Rome area who does it. The program is done on the pilot’s off day and is completely voluntary. Creel said he would be leaving Friday for his three day shift but is not yet sure where he will be going during that time.

TRENTON — Tonight was a celebration of the Trenton High School girls’ basketball team playing in its last game at Tornado Alley. Demolition begins as soon as the school year ends, as a new Trenton High building will emerge. Unfortunately for the Tornadoes tonight, a tremendous second half by West Windsor-Plainsboro North ruined Trenton’s celebration, as the Knights came away with a 47-32 victory.
The Alley still will be in business for the Trenton boys’ team with an MCT game as well as home games in the CJ IV state tournament, but tonight ended all play for coach Reggie Murray’s girls’ team on the famed Tornado Alley court.
“Knowing it would be the last girls’ game ever played here, it was 100 percent on our minds,” said North senior Lauren Schwartzman. “Coming into it, it’s the Alley, a pretty intimidating gym. And, as a school, we had never won here before, girls or boys I don’t think. So, we wanted to make history and do it for our school, so, we just came in here with a goal of winning, and it was especially great for me, being a senior to come here and win.”
The Knights’ win rained on all the hoopla before the game celebrating over 40 years of girls’ basketball at the school, in a building where basketball has been played on the boys' side for 82 years.
The Tornadoes and the Knights both came out flat after the pre-game ceremonies, as Trenton took a 7-6 lead after the opening quarter. The nets didn’t get all that scorched in the second quarter, either, as Trenton went into the half nursing a 13-11 lead.
Whatever WW-P North coach Bob Boyce said at the break, it sure worked, as the Knights charged out on the court and played great basketball, outscoring Trenton 17-7 to take a surprising 30-20 lead at the end of the third quarter. In that quarter, North shot a sizzling 8-for-12 and forced six Tornado turnovers. In the quarter, standout freshman Jasmin Watson hit for seven of her team-high 10 points, while freshman teammate Chrissy DiCindio added five more as the Knights took control.
Boyce’s team didn’t slow down to start the last quarter, as it put together a 15-4 run from near the end of the third through the 4:33 mark of the forth, when WW-P North’s Julia Tampellini canned a pair of free throws, giving the winners a comfortable 38-20 lead.
“We came out a little slow and a little sleepy in the first half, and we just knew we had to pick it up, and we kept together as a team, worked together and picked each other up,” said Schwartzman, who finished with eight points, but, more importantly, 13 rebounds. “And, once we got in the flow, we really started to play well.
“Boyce always encourages us at the half with his halftime speeches. But, we just knew that we came in here with a goal to win, and everyone wanted to win, so we just played hard the last 16 minutes, and we got the win and made history for our school.”
Murray’s squad fought back later in the fourth and got the lead down to 42-30 after a long trey by Tyquasia Peterson with 1:40 left, but it wouldn’t be enough for the Tornadoes to close out their famed gym on a winning note.
“Nope, not really; I’m not disappointed,” said Murray afterward. “It’s the fact that, if we play basketball the way we’re supposed to play, its always going to be a successful close out. We didn’t play basketball the way we’re supposed to.
“We had a total defensive letdown, especially in the second half. If I’m playing defense on you, and I’m up in your face and play defense, and all of a sudden I just let you have some room to play, all you need to do is have a good look at the basket. And, any shooter, once you see it go through one time, then you keep taking shots if they’re going in.”
Boyce was elated that his squad won for a second time over the Tornadoes, and beating them at the Alley was even more special to him.
“I was with the boys, and we never won here, and we finally win here in the last game ever played here,” Boyce said. “Our boys certainly have never won here, and the girls, we never even beat them until a couple of years ago.
“We played well in the second half, and we clinched second place (in the Colonial Division of the CVC), but we couldn’t catch Notre Dame. At halftime, I told them that you’re not going to win many games scoring 11 points in a half — put it that way.”
So, the Knights went out and scored 34 in the second half and got their 16th win of the season. Now the No. 4-seeded Knights will play host to No. 5 Ewing Friday night in the quarterfinals of the MCT, while No. 6 Trenton will travel to play No. 3 Allentown.

“He’s going down!” bellowed 90-yr-old Irene Solderich, as her arms swung and her pink boxing gloves delivered repeated hits to a coronavirus piñata in her room at Brandywine Living at Princeton.
Solderich had just received her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and when offered the chance to put on the gloves, she was not throwing away her shot.
“I’m so glad I got the vaccine. It’s the only thing that’s going to get us through with this. Maybe I can associate with other people. I miss going out.” she said, after collecting her candy.
Brandywine is a senior living community offering assisted living and memory care in Princeton.
The facility is now COVID-free and 99.9 % of residents have received both doses of the vaccine through CVS along with 85% of staff.
Escapades Producer Stephanie Gaber is the one behind this, and a variety of other creative events designed to keep the residents active and engaged.
“It’s a very happy day for us. It’s been a tough year, but now that we got our second vaccine hopefully by the summer will be able to resume some of our off-grounds programs.
“We used to go all over New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania whether it was wine tasting, museums, scenic rides, out to lunch, theaters…”
After getting her second shot, Café Manager Nelly Currie said, “I’m going to be frank with you. People waited in line to get this and they don’t have the chance to get it. I’m happy I was one of the first people to be approved to get it because I know people who want to get up (but) they don’t have the chance to get this.”
“I think everybody should be happy to get it because it’s going to help us to survive and help us to go back to normal. So that’s why I was happy to punch it out,” she added with a chuckle. “I felt like I won and I had the victory over it.”

Bond hearing for daughter accused of stabbing parents at their North Ridgeville home
NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio (WOIO) - The 34-year-old Lakewood woman accused of stabbing her mom and dad at their North Ridgeville home last week remains in jail after a judge set her bond at $240,000 in Elyria Municipal Court Monday.
Emily Deese is charged with felonious assault and attempted murder.
The case has been bound over to the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas; a grand jury will eventually decide whether or not to move forward with an indictment.
North Ridgeville police said officers were called to the home in the 6600 block of Amber Way around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6.
When they arrived, they found Deese’s 67-year-old mom and 69-year-old dad suffering from serious injuries.
“There was blood splattered within the roadway, in the driveway and on the door. You could see hand prints. There was more splatter throughout the house, [an] enormous pool of blood on the ground, just splatter everywhere. More than I’ve ever seen,” said North Ridgeville police officer Clint Chasko.
Chasko was one of three officers to testify at Monday’s hearing.
Police said EMS transported the mom and dad to UH St. John Medical Center in Westlake.
On Monday, officers confirmed both of the victims were discharged.
19 News spoke to the husband outside the couple’s home on Monday night; but he declined to issue a statement because the legal proceedings are ongoing.
He told our crew that he and his wife are recovering physically.
Emily Deese was taken into custody on Wildlife Trail, just east of Amber Way.
She was treated for injuries suffered in the attack and then transported to the Lorain County Jail.
In court, she declined to answer the judge’s questions about her understanding of the charges.
The public defender who was appointed to Deese told the judge on Monday that when he met with Deese at the jail last Friday, she told him she wanted to represent herself in court.
Another North Ridgeville police officer, who testified that he rode in the ambulance with Deese, told the court that she made statements about what happened on the ride to the hospital. He said he was informing the medics that a family member told officers Deese has a history with mental health problems.
The officer said as he was explaining her history, Deese interrupted.
“She stated ‘this all happened because they tried to get me to take my medication that is slowly killing me,’” said officer Brandon Kjaer, recalling the words of Deese.
Kjaer said she also made reference to God.
As Kjaer explained on the witness stand, Deese broke her courtroom silence.
“I said it’s because I bear witness that there’s only one God and I bear witness that Muhammad is his prophet,” she said, referring to her comments in the ambulance.
Because grand jury proceedings are held secretly, there’s no public timetable for when the case will continue. In the meantime, the judge ordered the public defender will continue to represent Deese, pending further order from the court.

Easter weekend is always a nice time. I have sisters visiting, with egg hunts planned for my nieces and nephews, cookies will be baked, and we’ll all end up eating too many bagels and sweets as usual. While the holiday no longer has a religious meaning for me (I mostly consider it a bunny day featuring pastel decorations), it’s a fun tradition that makes a nice excuse to celebrate the budding of spring with people I love.
We have our contractor coming today to do minor finishes to my studio and then I can finally move back in. Last week Jon, unhappy with the closet shelves in the room, ripped them out, fixed the plaster and built me four perfect shelves for storage. He even organized all our gear into little boxes. I’m looking forward to having a space dedicated to the blog, where I can practice my photography and it’ll be nice to not share the room with a kitchen from the 1980’s (stay tuned, I plan to post the transformation). Our main tripod took a beating in Iceland and needed some slight repairs, so I’m waiting for that to be returned soon. Then I will be up and running again, rather than a little distracted with stuff all over the place. Things strewn about the house is never my style, so I’m excited to put everything back in its place and dive into some spring cleaning!
And with that, I hope your weekend is full of festive and colorful celebrations, even if that means snagging a handful of Cadbury Creme Eggs and calling it a day. Even my cat, Ernie, will be snacking on a little ham, his favorite treat!
Do you have anything special planned? What are some of your favorite Easter traditions?
And be sure to catch Shopbop’s 20-25% sale off with the code EVENT17 – it ends today! I’ve already snagged this perfect white hat and this ultra light Panama from Janessa Leone! Check out this post for a few of my other hat suggestions!

MOSCOW, April 17. /TASS/. Russian experts believe that President Vladimir Putin’s appeal to top managers of state-controlled companies to make their incomes public will facilitate stabilisation in the society and assure Russians’ better trust in government.
On Thursday during an annual question-and-answer session officially known as "The Direct Line With Vladimir Putin," the Russian head of state drew a bottom line under a two-year dispute on whether top managers of major companies should submit their income declarations.
Putin recommended heads of state-owned companies to follow the example of Western business people and to declare their incomes voluntarily.
"The government has adopted a code of conduct, even in business. It's been accepted, but in practice, it does not work. If you ask my opinion, I would strongly recommend that the heads of companies disclose the incomes. I don't see anything wrong with that," Putin said.
Back in July 2013, Putin signed a decree obliging the government to ensure publications of this information by state-owned companies. In December 2014 the government approved a relevant resolution but three major companies - Rosneft oil giant, RZD Russian Railways and Gazprom - ignored the demand.
At the end of March reports came that the government had allowed top managers of state-controlled companies to stay away from disclosing their incomes. Heads of 23 open corporations alongside members of their families were relieved of these obligations. But heads, their deputies and chief accountants of the companies 100% owned by the state were made to publish their incomes.
"Good that Putin gave such a recommendation but it is not a fact that all will use it," Professor Vladimir Sokolov of the RANEPA state service-and-staff policy department told TASS adding that it should have been prescribed by the law.
"In the countries that pose themselves as civilised, any organisation related in the slightest degree to the government (either possesses state shares or state officials are delegated to it, or receives orders from the government) must be fully open, including in the salary sphere," Prof Sokolov said.
"Moreover, in the United States, and Japan, and some other countries staff members of purely commercial organisations, not related to the government but with spending outlawed by their inside rules are liable for criminal prosecution," he said. "Thus, in Japan several top managers of commercial companies were jailed for using corporate jets for personal purposes or wasting public money on boozing."
"In Russia, actually all major corporations are linked to the government to some degree and in this case incomes must be made public," he said. "People have an unalterable opinion that managers do not get salaries eight times higher than average ones in the company (as the law says) but much higher. For example, at higher educational establishments."
Russian top managers earn far more than their counterparts abroad. According to recent statistics, average incomes of CEOs at major corporations in the West vary from $600,000 to $1mln, while in Russia top around $15mln.
"An impression that a gap in salaries of employers and employees is absurdly enormous creates negative moods in the society and undermines its stability," he said. "People’s trust in the authorities is vanishing and a feeling of acute injustice is emerging, rooted in this situation."
Svetlana Sergeyeva, the RANEPA associate professor in political sciences, says that complete transparency in incomes and spending of state-owned company executives is necessary.
"If it fails to happen, civic society and the state will lack understanding then and this will eventually trigger confrontation in society at large," she said. "Covering-up of the incomes just widen the gap between the state and society."
The more they are transparent, the more opportunities emerge for discussions as Truth is sprout in discussion.
"That’s far better than to cover up the incomes, as people will learn about high earnings from various sources all the same," Sergeyeva concluded.

Hey y'all, long time no post!
Just thought I'd share a link with you of a project I did many moons ago (this site was only recently brought to my attention)
it's called My Big Head.
A bunch of short idents for Nickelodeon.
It was a very interesting mix of using Steadicam with greenscreen to make a bunch of short, animated station I.D.'s
I used Steadicam mostly to add movement where there was none (i.e. a car driving)
Certainly not a very overt way of using Steadicam but it was an interesting project (especially working with so many kids!)
A lot of the movement is very subtle though there's a few films where it's very obvious (the rock-band promo for one)
Also, if you check out the "About this project" page you can see some behind the scenes pictures (and they even spelt my name right...a real first!)
Hope you like it, at the very least you'll have to agree it's original.
Peace, Ruben "Extremely animated person" Sluijter

The EU’s data watchdogs want to see changes to the draft legislation for the digital euro. European Union laws usually give the European Central Bank (ECB) considerable autonomy and discretion. But when it comes to the privacy of the central bank digital currency (CBDC), the watchdogs believe the devil is in the details. So they want to see less leeway in the legislation. Plus they would like all low-value transactions made privately.
Apart from demanding more details, wherever private data is used, it must be shown to be necessary and proportional.
These recommendations were part of a joint opinion published this week by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS).
The watchdogs believe that “the value added of a digital euro in a highly competitive payments landscape would reside mainly in its confidentiality.”
Cash like anonymity
At the moment, the offline version of the digital euro is meant to have cash-like anonymity. The watchdogs want a similar treatment for low value online transactions. That’s possible by dropping anti-money laundering rules for smaller transactions. Last month, the U.S. Federal Reserve published a paper asserting that an expectation of anonymity for digital transactions is based on ignorance.
Meanwhile, key digital euro roles are split. On the one hand, there are payment service providers (PSPs) including banks who hold private data about their client’s identities and transactions. On the other hand, the central bank ledger records all the transactions, but without personal data (pseudonymously). This aims to give users comfort that the digital Euro isn’t a Big Brother tool.
Pseudonymous cannnot be optional
However, while there may be an intention to store transaction data pseudonymously, the legislation fails to oblige the ECB or national central banks to do so. And the centralized ledger storing all that data bothers the watchdog, so they’ve offered to provide input on safeguards.
Extra fraud protection
Moving on, according to the draft law, a new fraud detection and prevention mechanism (FDPM) is needed for the digital euro. However, payment service providers already conduct fraud detection. While a separate digital euro FDPM system could make fraud detection more timely and effective, the watchdogs say this is not “sufficient to render the interference with the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection”.
Holding limits creates privacy issues
The digital euro will have holding limits, with a figure of €3,000 floated as an idea. However, users could have digital euro wallets with multiple banks or payment firms. Hence, there’s a need to figure out the total across a person’s wallets. How do you link different wallets to the same person? That requires using personal data to calculate the total holdings. The solution in the legislation is for central banks to establish a ‘single access point of digital euro user identifiers and the related digital euro holding limits’.
That’s potentially problematic. Although they provide an ‘access point’ rather than storing it themselves.
Stepping back, the central bank ledger stores all the transaction data pseudonymously. To calculate global holding limits, there’s additionally a central access point to personal identifiers and some personal data. Hence, it’s critical that the central bank can’t access this second data set, otherwise they can combine the two sets of data and see who made every single transaction.
Unsurprisingly, the watchdogs want to know how the central banks plan to protect the private data for holding limit calculations. They recommend using privacy enhancing technologies (PETs). For example, multi-party computation (MPC) could allow multiple banks to share encrypted data, and calculate the holdings across all of them. They can do that without anyone seeing the data, because it’s only temporarily decrypted on special chips where it’s hard to snoop. Nonetheless, in our view, the central banks should have no physical access to these computers or the gateway.
It’s not all bad
While the watchdogs made several recommendations, they also complimented some aspects. They are delighted the legislation retains the choice to pay in cash and that there are no plans to make the CBDC programmable.
In related news, it was not surprising the ECB decided this week to progress the digital euro to the preparation phase. And the ECB gets to make the final launch decision in the future. That assumes the approval of digital euro legislation, which is perhaps the biggest hurdle for the CBDC.

MEDIA STATEMENT BY OVERSTRAND MUNICIPALITY EXECUTIVE MAYOR DUDLEY COETZEE: FOOD KITCHENS
The effects of COVID-19 are being felt across the length and breadth of South Africa. The national lockdown, while necessary to curb the spread of the virus, is having a devastating impact on the economy of the Overstrand. As we enter the fourth week of lockdown many self-employed people and casual workers are struggling to make ends meet and small businesses are wondering whether they will be able to survive.
The Overstrand Council implemented a number of measures to assist businesses and residents during this period, these include the deferment of payment of Municipal accounts for April and May for those who find themselves financially strapped at this time. Businesses may apply to pay these accounts over six months and individuals over a maximum of twelve months.
In addition to this all residents who had their water reduced to a drip system have had the flow opened for the duration of the lockdown and no auxiliary charges will be levied on prepaid electricity purchases during this period. People who rent property from the Municipality and are unable to use it for the purpose for which it was rented, will not be charged rent for these two months. While we cannot dictate to private landlords, we trust that they too will find a way of assisting their tenants, particularly small businesses, who have not been able to use their rented premises because of the lockdown. While the various credit control measures will not be implemented during the lockdown, businesses and residents who are able to pay their full Municipal account are requested to do so, in order for the Municipality to continue to provide essential services to the community and assist the most vulnerable of our people.
To this end a number of Food Kitchens have been started throughout the Overstrand providing food to those in need from Buffeljagsbaai to the Kleinmond Hangklip area. There are currently fourteen food kitchens operating and this will increase to twenty during this week.
We would like to thank every organisation and every person who has generously donated non-perishable foodstuff at the various grocery stores throughout the Overstrand.
Also to those who have opened their hearts and made cash donations which have varied from thousands of rand to just a few rand - every donation however small is greatly appreciated and you may rest assured that every cent reaches the most vulnerable in our community.
Cash donations made to various organisations assisting with the Food Kitchens exceeds R400 000.
We have also been advised that the Western Cape Government will provide R100 000 toward the Food fund and the Overstrand Municipality has made R500 000 available. We would like to thank all the organisations and churches, our councillors and individuals who are assisting in preparing and distributing the food.
The Department of Education also started feeding school children last week and we are very grateful for this initiative.
We have been advised that the Department of Health will start testing for the COVID-19 virus in the Overstrand. This week staff at businesses that have been trading during the lockdown as well as Municipal staff preforming essential services will be tested and from 28 April they will be testing people in the community.
I wish to thank all our Municipal staff and other essential service personnel who are working to serve us during this difficult time.
We encourage everyone to continue to stay at home during the lockdown. This is not a matter of obeying regulations it is to protect your life and the lives of others. Please keep safe wash your hands regularly and try not to touch your face.
May God bless and keep us all.

Based on Google Image search, they did make a commercial Strawberry Bell toy. It looks pretty good, so if you can find one that doesn't cost an arm an a leg, that might be the best way to go.
To make one, I'd sew a plush tube (fuzzy fabric + polyester fiberfil) with a twisted up brass coathanger wire going through the center. You might need to hangers. You twist them by locking one end in a vise, and twisting them with pliers until they form a nice double helix. Use a file to round the ends of the wires, and then wrap them with a couple twists of electrical tape.
For the bell, ideally, use a real brass bell. Particularly at Christmas time, you can find them in craft stores.
For the gem, you might be able to find something of the right shape and color in the beading section of the craft store. It might be a little small. Alternatively, you can cast it using casting-craft resin. For this you need to sculpt the gem from clay, then make a mold by brushing on liquid latex, reinforcing the mold with something like air-dry clay or plaster bandage, and then pouring the resin, optionally tinted pink. A third choice is to grind one out of a piece of acrylic plastic (aka plexiglass). A Dremel rotary tool helps to rough out the shape. You need sandpaper going all the way up to 2000 grit to make the surface shiney again. Paint the clear plastic with translucent paint, or permanent marker (diluted with a bit of isopropyl alcohol if the marker is too opaque). Sculpey and Fimo both sell "transparent" clays. They're a bit cloudy, but could work for this too.
For the bow and crown thingy, you can carve it from a block of basswood (available at the hobby store) or you can sculpt it from Polymer clay (sculpey). With wood, sand the surface smooth, seal the pores of the wood with sanding-sealer or gesso (multiple coats). Optionally, paint it with a red primer (red is a recommended basecoat when painting things gold) Paint the bow gold with either spray-paint or rub-n-buff. Paint the crown thing green. Give it a day to dry before mounting the heart & bell.
If you go with polymer clay, be careful how you mount the heart and bell to the bow; under too much stress, the clay will crack and tear. Maybe do something like terminate each end of the wire with loops, pre-drill holes in the sides of the bow piece, and use wood screws to screw the loops securely in place. Then pull the fabric up around the mount and tack it down with hot-glue or carefully applied super-glue (it ruins fuzzy fabric if applied in excess).

New hope for early intervention in schizophrenia
A study recently published in the Medical Journal of Australia offers new hope for early intervention in schizophrenia. According to Professor Ian Hickie, Executive Director of the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Institute, and Professor Patrick McGorry, Executive Director of the University of Melbourne’s ORYGEN Research Centre, schizophrenia may not be accounted for by genetic factors alone; the environment may also have a role to play. Professor Hickie said, “…for the past 20 years, much of the research into schizophrenia has been based on the belief that the disorder results largely from genetically determined abnormalities in brain development.” This type of thinking has discounted the value of early intervention strategies, the researchers went on to explain. According to findings from the study, there are many potential environmental risks for schizophrenia as well. The following is an excerpt of an article from Medical News Today that discusses the study’s findings more:
“Postpubescent use of cannabis has been shown to have a critical role, and amphetamine use is now being closely investigated. Other factors under the microscope include infection and other inflammatory risk factors as well as the impact of oestrogen exposure.”
Professor Hickie said a clinical staging model is also challenging the dogma that each of the major psychiatric disorders has a unique pathway.
“By contrast, the staging model suggests a ‘trunk and branch’ analogy with the early stages sharing common factors that branch out into more specific symptoms later on, typically when patients are in their early 20s.
“The exciting part of this is that it introduces the possibility that early intervention could help treat a broad range of disorders.

This spicy barbacoa beef roast was a snap in the Instant Pot. Full of spicy goodness, it’s perfect over rice for a delicious beef dinner. And you can make it in a slow cooker too!
Sometimes we get in the mood for a spicy dinner. Often I’ll make an Indian curry for me and my husband but my son doesn’t really like them. So today I took a shot at a spicy barbacoa beef roast in my Instant Pot. My thought was that Max could eat a quesadilla with a little of the spicy beef and surprisingly he did! I might have to make him try that Indian curry again. Anyway, this was so good with rice, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. You can eat it many different ways too like in a burrito or salad.
I wanted to try this in the Instant Pot because I didn’t have enough time to make it in a slow cooker. I also like using the Instant Pot because you can brown the meat and saute the veggies first and then pressure cook all in the same pot. By the way, it takes awhile for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure so when a recipe says it cooks for 40 minutes, it’s more like an hour. Whenever I’m using the Instant Pot I count on having at least an hour before dinner which is really not too long. Plus once you put it in the pot you don’t have to watch it so you can use that time to do something else. Really it’s like a slow cooker on steroids. 😉
Spicy Barbacoa Beef Roast Recipe
As I’ve mentioned, this is very spicy. As in I used a lot of spices and rubbed them all over the meat. Then I browned the roast in the Instant Pot to seal in the juices and set it aside. Lastly I sauteed some onions and peppers before putting all the ingredients in the pressure cooker along with the meat and let it cook for 40 minutes or so. The meat will be tender at 40 minutes but not fall apart tender. If you like it to fall apart, cook it for 50 minutes in the pressure cooker.
You can make this in the slow cooker too. Just rub the spices on the meat, brown on both sides in a skillet and then add everything to the slow cooker and cook on low all day.
We ate this over rice with a little avocado, cilantro and squeeze of lime. ( I meant to put the lime in the recipe but forgot and I found out it wasn’t necessary). You can also eat this in a burrito, quesadilla or even on top of a salad for a lower carb dinner. As I said it is spicy. To cut down on the heat, eliminate the jalapeño but we like it hot. I hope you enjoy this super tasty beef as much as we did. Here’s a quick video of how I made it in the Instant Pot.

Question about Jenn-Air 36 in. CCGP2720P Gas Cooktop
It seems that the controls of the front right and rear left burners are malfunctioning: The ignighter clicks only when the knob is first turned and not while in "light" position.

Class 6 Isle of Wight Trip 2020
2 April 2020
Class 6 had an amazing trip to the Isle of Wight. The weather was fantastic all weekend long and the children could partake in many of the activities in glorious sunshine. The children showed great maturity all weekend; they worked well as a team and all pushed their boundaries and got involved in the activities whole-heartedly. The staff enjoyed the children's company hugely and were proud of their fantastic behaviour. All the activities were enjoyed by the class and teachers alike, but the most favourite was the gravity-defying 3G swing! As you will be see in the gallery of photos, the children got involved in a huge array of different activities. The staff got the ferry to blow its loud horn to scare the children - it worked! See if you can spot the photo.
Well done to all of Class 6 for making this such a memorable trip away, and thank you to the staff Mr Penny, Mrs Lapthorn, Miss Davy and Mr Stead for accompanying the children on this trip!
Please have a scroll through the slideshow...

Xavi: Ousmane Dembele Must Be 'Mentally Strong' to Pass Barcelona 'Final Exam'March 21, 2018
Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez has spoken of the mentality needed to succeed at the club, and the midfielder is hoping to see it from Ousmane Dembele at the Camp Nou.
The 20-year-old France international arrived on the back of a magnificent season with Borussia Dortmund, where he plundered 10 goals and 21 assists, but he hasn't settled seamlessly into the Barca squad.
Barcelona legend Xavi told So Foot (h/t MailOnline's Jordan Seward) of what Dembele needs to do make his move a success: "He will have to learn to think faster, in a few thousandths of a second. This is where we will see if he has the mentality. He must say to himself: 'l am a Barca player.' You have to be mentally strong, to have conviction."
The 38-year-old, who made more than 750 appearances in 17 years at the club, does not expect Dembele to possess the mentality right away, though. He added:
"He will need some time. Barca is like a final exam for a footballer. It is like Dembele is passing a Master's degree right now because not everyone can play for this club.
"Why? Because you have to know things three times more than elsewhere. Barca play on barely 30 metres of the pitch.
"Dembele has a lot of talent, he is very fast, but here, he is not going to have the space he had at Dortmund or Rennes. He had more space, so more time there."
The Frenchman suffered a hamstring injury in September that kept him out for the remainder of 2017, and he has had to work his way back to full fitness, leaving him with a tally of just one goal and five assists in all competitions.
Dembele seems to be getting back to his best, though. Grup 14's Rafael Hernandez praised the youngster after he grabbed an assist in Barca's 2-0 win over Malaga earlier in March:
In the following game, he scored his first goal for the club as they beat Chelsea 3-0, lashing home after Lionel Messi led a counter-attack. Football journalists Rik Sharma and Dermot Corrigan were impressed:
Through no fault of his own, Dembele has endured a difficult start to his Barcelona career, but it bodes well that he seems to be finishing the season strongly.
Xavi believes talent is not enough to succeed at the Camp Nou, as it means little without the ability to cope with the pressures of playing for Barcelona:
"There are average players who spent 15 years at Barca, because they had character. And there are some excellent players who did not do anything because they couldn't handle pressure.
"In training, when you saw them, you would say to yourself: 'They will break everything. They're going to be legends.' But no. As soon as they entered the pitch, their legs started shaking, they did not want the ball anymore. And you would wonder: 'Holy f--k, what's happening to them?'"
Dembele still has a long way to go to prove he can be a success at the club, and he seems to recognise as much, per Indy Football:
It's a promising sign the Frenchman is not getting carried away with his recent performances, and that attitude should serve him well as he continues to develop his game and translate his abundance of talent into consistently strong showings on the pitch.
It's important he finishes the season well, ahead of what will hopefully be an injury-free campaign next year, where he'll look to showcase his true potential.
