CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Three former Cavaliers earned four medals at the World Rowing Cup III regatta, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, July 12-14. The four medals and six competitors were both record hauls for UVa in senior international competition.
“I’m extremely proud of these former UVa student-athletes as they represent their respective countries at the highest level on the world stage,” Virginia head coach Kevin Sauer said.
Class of 2011 graduate Christine Roper earned gold with the Canadian women’s four in a time of 6:34.58, while also taking home bronze with the women’s eight alongside 2013 graduate Susanne Grainger. The Canadian women’s eight finished in a time of 6:01.61, just ahead of fourth-place Great Britain, which featured UVa graduate Sarah Cowburn (Class of 2013).
Former Cavalier softball and volleyball player Meghan O’Leary (Class of 2008) earned bronze for the United States in the women’s double sculls in 6:45.29. Based on the third-place finish, O’Leary and teammate Ellen Tomek now have the opportunity to row at the World Rowing Championships in Chungju, South Korea, Aug.25-Sept. 1.
Two other former Cavaliers were in action, including Kerry Maher Shaffer (Class of 2007) and Inge Janssen (Class of 2010). Janssen, representing The Netherlands, won the women’s single sculls B final to finish seventh overall in a time of 7:33.79. Shaffer placed eighth for Canada in the women’s double sculls in a time of 7:02.53.

Hibs are close to a loan move for Genoa midfielder Stephane Omeonga who was at Easter Road yesterday to watch the club progress to the fifth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup.
Neil Lennon has already secured the services of midfielder Ryan Gauld whilst fans favourite Scott Allan has agreed a summer move. Omeonga, 22, is a Belgian Under-21 international and has made 22 appearances in Serie A over the past two seasons.
Lennon told BBC Scotland: “According to Genoa it’s done, but it’s not quite over the line yet.
“He’s got good energy, particularly in the middle of the park. He’s youthful but he’s got a great attitude towards the game; tactically he’s good and he can get us up the pitch quickly.”
Hibs will find out their next Scottish Cup opponents tonight following the draw.

This advertorial is sponsored by Gore.
At this year’s Charing Cross (CX) International Symposium (25–27 April, London, UK), Andrew Holden (Auckland City Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand), presented results from the longest follow-up study to date evaluating the GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis (VBX Stent Graft; Gore) in aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Here, he details how these new data “raise the bar” for durable, robust AIOD treatments.
AIOD is an “increasingly common problem”, Holden asserts, with around a third of all peripheral arterial disease (PAD) cases involving the iliac arteries. Discussing the backdrop to the VBX FLEX Clinical Study, he notes that—with endovascular treatments growing in prevalence over the past 15 years—balloon-expandable covered stents represent a “very appealing” option for this indication, theoretically providing lower rates of serious complications as well as improvements in long-term patency outcomes.
Results from the original VBX FLEX Study appeared to bear out these benefits, with the VBX Stent Graft demonstrating high one-year rates of primary (94.5%), primary-assisted (99%) and secondary (99.5%) patency, in addition to a 98.1% rate of freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (fCD-TLR) at three years. However, in an attempt to further elucidate the durability of these positive findings, Holden led a physician-initiated follow-up in a subset of these patients out to five years.
“The concept of durable patency in aortoiliac disease is really important,” he says. “The vast majority of these patients are ‘claudicants’ [who] have a much longer life expectancy than patients with critical limb ischaemia—often living for 10 years or longer—so durability of treatment is something that has come into focus. But, until recently, we really had very little useful information on how durable these covered stents are, in particular in the iliac arteries.”
The five-year follow-up with the VBX Stent Graft saw 59 patients enrolled from the original study’s three highest-participating centres—Holden’s own centre in Auckland, as well as Prisma Health (Greenville, USA) and Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center (Kingsport, USA). A total of 28 patients completed the five-year follow-up and could be assessed as per the study’s primary durability endpoint of long-term primary patency. An important detail Holden highlights here is that this patient cohort was representative of the full spectrum of disease seen in AIOD patients, with about one third of patients having more complex lesions (Trans-Atlantic Inter- Society Consensus [TASC] C or D).
Arriving at the crux of the study’s findings, he reports sustained long-term durability with the VBX Stent Graft, indicated by an “excellent” 84.4% primary patency rate per subject, and an 89.5% primary patency rate per lesion (n=94)—an “incredible, unrivalled performance”—at five years.
“To put that into context, there had only been one other publication reporting five-year patency—74.7% with the iCAST/Advanta V12 [Getinge] in COBEST,” Holden states, “so to really raise the bar and report a patency of 89.5% was extremely pleasing.”
He goes on to note that the per-subject primary-assisted and secondary patency rates were the same (93.3%) at five years, as was the per-lesion rate (96.1%) for both. Additionally, there was a five-year, per-subject fTLR rate of 89.1%—also a “very high figure”, according to Holden—and 12 deaths (20.3%), none of which were found to have been device-related. Finally, he outlines sustained improvements in Rutherford classification scores and walking impairment, as well as on quality-of-life questionnaires.
“For these patients, we hope to provide a durable treatment, and it is very difficult to imagine any treatment for aortoiliac disease that could achieve superior patencies to this—particularly a minimally invasive therapy like an endovascular covered stent,” Holden concludes. “To be able to tell patients they are going to get a durable patency, and the vast majority will never need to have another intervention related to this treatment; those are the most compelling outcomes for me.”
The CX Symposium also saw Holden announce a “very exciting” next step in evaluating the VBX Stent Graft: a multicentre randomised controlled trial, with long-term follow-up, comparing the device to bare metal stenting in complex iliac occlusive disease.

Don’t miss the designs you like!
Dogs bring love and joy to each family, none more so than the retirees. Here are 15 of the best dog breeds to accompany you in your golden years.
The Pomeranian is not only intelligent tiny people-pleaser but also one of the most adorable dogs you will ever see. Being small and lightweight, this breed of dog is easy to handle and don't require a lot of exercise.
Ranging in weight from 9 to 16 pounds, Shih Tzus are easy to handle. Though the breed is a bit stubborn, most Shih Tzus can be trained without much trouble. They are prone to suffering from skin issues and brachycephalic syndrome.
Pugs are well-known as adaptable, charming, and playful without requiring plenty of exercise to maintain their health. This breed of dog is small, meeting the size requirements of assisted living communities.
If you want a small to medium dog as your companion, the Corgi might be perfect for you with those adorable short little legs. Ranging in weight from 24 to 30 pounds, the breed is small enough for most people to handle. Corgis are fairly easy to train. The Corgi has minimal grooming needs, which can be very convenient.
Although Beagles are traditionally hunting dogs, they can make excellent family dogs. At just 24 pounds, Beagles are among the best dog breeds for seniors. They do need plenty of exercise, which is great for fitness-minded seniors.
If you have a yard for your dog to run around in, the Labrador Retriever may be just for you. They are very intelligent, meaning they train very fast. They are gentle and loving, which make for the perfect companion for seniors.
The Poodle is one of the smartest dog breeds and also one of the most popular of all dogs breeds. The best part is, you can choose your size. There are tiny Toy poodle, the small Miniature poodle, and the larger Standard. The Poodle can be a loyal and affectionate companion. The breed learns very fast and adapts well to all kinds of households. They need to be professionally groomed every month or two.
The Maltese is the quintessential "little white lap dog.” The breed enjoys spending time in her owner's lap. Like the Poodle, this breed also needs professional grooming maintenance. The Maltese is fairly easy to train. Weighing only 4 to 7 pounds, the breed is very easy to handle. You can even take them around in your bag!
Although Yorkshire Terriers have long hair that requires lots of grooming, they are small and adaptable, making them a good choice for assisted living. They need enough exercise daily, and can sometimes get a bit bossy.
The easy-going nature of the Basset Hound makes them fantastic pets for seniors. The Basset Hound can sometimes be a bit stubborn but is very affectionate. Some fans of this breed say that they shadow you closely. Basset Hounds need daily exercise so as to not put on weight. Luckily, grooming requirements are minimal.
How can a racing dog be a good companion for older adults? You may be surprised to learn that the Greyhound is not the high-energy dog breed most people may think they are. Although they enjoy daily walks and occasional chance to run, most of them tend to be "couch potatoes" that enjoy loafing around with their owners. If you are a large dog lover, the Greyhound is breed to consider.
The fluffy little Bichon Frise is affectionate and makes a perfect companion. Ranging from 7 to 12 pounds in weight, this breed is extremely easy to handle. They are fairly easy to train. The breed needs to be groomed periodically but is otherwise fairly low-maintenance.
The Cavalier is a small dog that loves snuggling up beside her owner. Weighing from 11 to 18 pounds, the breed is easy to handle and train. They need some grooming needs, such as regular hair brushing, ear cleaning and an occasional visit to a groomer.
It's almost impossible to be down around the cheerful French Bulldogs. They are among the happiest of all dog breeds. French Bulldogs are muscular, compact and active dogs. Ranging in weight from 24 to 30 pounds, they are quite manageable. The grooming needs are fairly little, but be aware of health concerns like brachycephalic syndrome and various skin issues.
The Schnauzer comes in various sizes, including miniature, offering a lot of choices to a senior trying to meet a community's pet size requirements. They are playful, trainable, and good with children.

Investing.com -- U.S. stocks were mixed on Thursday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average halted a 3-day winning streak, retreating from a considerable Santa Claus Rally from the previous session on the eve of the Christmas holiday.
Energy and retail stocks remained in focus, as U.S. crude futures continued their bounce off multi-year lows and frenzied shoppers crowded malls nationwide for last-minute gifts. On Thursday, WTI crude was on track for its fourth straight winning session, hovering at two-week highs near $38 a barrel. A session earlier, Texas Long Sweet futures surged amid an unexpected draw in U.S. crude stockpiles last week. For the week, U.S. crude futures were on track to gain nearly 10% in value.
Investors also kept a close eye on retail stocks on the last day of shopping before the start of Christmas. A spike in online shopping has intensified pressure on shipping companies to deliver last-minute gifts on time, while brick and mortar shops have been forced to slash prices in order to attract more customers. A major storm throughout the Southern portions of the U.S. also contributed to mounting fears that thousands of customers might not receive their gifts in time for the holiday. Shares in FedEx Corporation (N:FDX) on Thursday lost roughly 0.70% to 149.65.
The Dow fell 50.44 or 0.29% to 17,552.17, while the the S&P 500 Composite index lost 3.30 or 0.16% to 2,060.99, ending one of their strongest 3-day rallies of the year. The NASDAQ Composite index gained 2.56 or 0.05% to 5,048.49 on a light day of volume among U.S. equities. The Dow crossed into negative territory for the year at the end of the session, while the NASDAQ is now slightly up for 2015.
On the S&P 500, 9 of 10 sectors closed in the red, as stocks in the Energy, Telecommunications and Basic Materials industries lagged. Stocks in the Health Care sector, the lone industry to close in the green, led.
The top performer on the Dow was EI du Pont de Nemours and Company (N:DD), which gained 0.37 or 0.56% to 66.40. Shares in DuPont (N:DD) are down nearly 6% after the chemical giant announced a proposed $130 billion merger with Dow Chemical Company (N:DOW) earlier this month. Shares in Nike Inc (N:NKE) closed at 63.18, after the multinational athletic apparel giant completed a highly-anticipated stock split on Thursday. Nike capped a stellar year earlier this week when it topped analysts forecasts with both its earnings and revenues in the second quarter.
The biggest gainer on the NASDAQ was NXP Semiconductors NV (O:NXPI) which rose 1.89 or 2.24% to 86.42. Earlier this week, the Netherlands semiconductor company received secure product certification from China UnionPay, a top domestic bank card organization in the People's Republic of China. The worst performer was Incyte Corporation (O:INCY), which lost 1.60 or 1.45% to 108.92. Shares in the Delaware-based pharmaceutical company retreated, two days after experiencing large inflows of more than $31 million in Tuesday's session. The upticks on Tuesday were offset by more than $19 million in downticks on the session, according to reports.
The top performer on the S&P 500 was student loan provider Navient Cor (O:NAVI), which gaining 0.46 or 3.79% to 12.61. The worst performer was Fossil Group Inc (O:FOSL), which fell 0.91 or 2.37% to 37.54 For the year, shares in the North Texas-based retailer have slumped more than 65% amid considerably layoffs in its workforce.
On the New York Stock Exchange, advancing issues outnumbered declining ones by a 1,634 to 1,352 margin.

Yao Rooftop Bar in Silom, Bangkok
Yao Rooftop Bar is a striking addition to the growing collection of rooftops in Bangkok. It may not be much talked about (so far) but with its soft Chinese theme and stunning views, it is a new gem on our list. Located on the 52nd and 53rd floors of the Marriott Bangkok Surawongsee in Silom, Yao offers rewarding views of the city skyline with a good 360˙ panoramic view. Note that Yao is a true rooftop with a full open sky, you can walk to the very edge of the building and look all the way down as the terraces are surrounded by a safe mid-high glass rail (which is not always the case on some rooftops).
The location between Silom and the riverside is quite strategic, and if you too are passionate by the ever-changing skyline of Bangkok, you will have a lot of fun identifying all the landmarks and most iconic towers in a sea of buildings of all sizes and shapes. Having a sunset drink up there is an entertaining occasion to play endless games of ‘name that building over there!’
The rooftop is surprisingly vast and beautifully decorated with a Chinese theme. There is plenty of comfortable sitting everywhere, from oversized sofas with cushions to high tables for two along the edge, with just a small but safe glass wall to separate you from the view. Among the most iconic landmarks, you will easily recognize other nearby rooftops: the new architectural wonder of Mahanakorn Skywalk, the already popular Sky Bar made even more famous by the movie ‘The Hangover 2’. The well known ‘Robot building’ is also visible and seems to be hiding between two towers (see photo lower in the page). You can easily sport the Baiyoke Tower which is now the second tallest tower in Thailand, only overshadowed by the Mahanakorn Tower.
Yao rooftop offers almost a 360-degree view but is mainly facing west, allowing superb sunsets above the new IconSiam shopping mall and the two attached residential skyscrapers.
Drinks and Food
Since Yao is above the Chinese restaurant of the same name, expect the menu to include a lot of Chinese Dim Sums: Shrimp Shu-Mai (168 baht), Pork ribs with black bean sauce (178 baht), Cheese with crab dumpling (158 baht), Xiao Long Bao pork dumplings (138 baht). As Yao is actually a restaurant, you can also go for main courses: Hand-pulled noodle with spicy pork gravy sauce old Pekin style (268 baht), Peking duck rolls with caviar and wasabi (428 baht), Szechuan fried chicken with chilli and cashew nuts (528 baht)

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made a massive $500 million stock purchase from Live Nation, making it the third largest shareholder in the company, with a 5.7 percent stake. Live Nation owns multiple venues across the country, the ticket seller Ticketmaster and the ticketreseller StubHub.
Saudi Public Investment Fund invested in 12,337,569 shares according to their recent filings to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This recent purchase caused their stock to increase by 2 percent within the first few minutes of trading, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Saudi Public Investment Fund also took a $775 million stake in Carnival Cruises, which was recently hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic as well.
These recent purchases reflect Saudi Arabia’s growing interest into its tourism industry that it had been developing prior to the pandemic. Rapper Nicki Minaj received backlash last year for scheduling a concert in the country, which she ultimately decided to drop out of.
Saudi Arabia has attracted a lot of controversy due to its alleged human right abuses, including the legal status of women, the LGBTQ community and free speech. Some companies have been hesitant to accept investments from the nation due to the murder of Saudi-born journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey. One of the most prominent political figures in the country, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, was alleged to have been involved in his murder.
Live Nation has also attracted controversy on a smaller scale since the pandemic hit. Its subsidiary Ticketmaster attracted controversy for its alleged change in its refund policy, which Live Nation recently addressed with its “ticket relief plan.” This new plan allows ticket holders for postponed events to request a refund for said events. The company’s other subsidiary Stubhub also attracted controversy, and was recently hit with a $5 million class action lawsuit over refunds.
The company was also under fire prior to the pandemic. At the beginning of the year Live Nation Chief Executive Michael Rapino claimed that concert tickets were an “incredible bargain,” despite the fact that the average ticket price for the top-100 world-wide tours rose to $96.17 in the last year alone. A secretly recorded phone call also emerged in the last couple of years, which showed the company allegedly helping bands such as Metallica and others place their tickets directly on resale sites such as StubHub, for a higher retail price.

During the Spring 2023 3-week term, two classes traveled together to Vienna to make connections between music, art, and philosophy. They saw operas, concerts of historical and contemporary music, and visited museums.
Posted on July 13, 2023
During the Spring 2023 3-week term, two classes traveled together to Vienna. Students in Dr. Joshua Harris’s Two Schools of Viennese Composers and Dr. Chris Penfield’s Feminist Philosophy courses explored the city known as the City of Music–for its traditional association with prominent Western composers–and the City of Dreams–for giving birth to the field of psychoanalysis.
They attended two operas at the Vienna State Opera–Salome and Carmen–and several other concerts and museums. One concert was even performed in the same chapel where Mozart performed! They visited an expansive exhibition of Gustav Klimt’s work along with his influences, caught a screening of the brand-new film Feminism WTF, took a train through the snow-capped Alps, and visited former-residences-turned-museums of Beethoven and Freud.
Both classes combined for morning lectures that made connections between the city’s history, music, art, and intellectual tradition and prepared students for the cultural artifacts they would experience each day. Though plenty of Wienerschnitzel and torte were consumed, students were also impressed with the city’s Italian and Turkish offerings and even found a great sushi place. In their free time, students visited palaces and the zoo, toured a rural abbey, visited sites where The Sound of Music was filmed, and enjoyed many other memorable activities.

text: I bought my chickens at Tractor Supply on the 22nd of February and their name had black in it but I forget what the last part of the name was. They were day old chicks and when I got them and had all black feathers with a touch of white on the wings. Now they are almost full grown and they are getting some reddish brown feathers. They have black feet and beaks. The pictures didn't turn out as good as I had wanted but hopefully someone can tell me what they are.

Quinn XCII with special guest, Julia Wolf
Friday, June 9 at 8pm
The Sylvee - Madison, WI
Quinn XCII is a Detroit-based vocalist and songwriter who fuses pop, hip-hop, reggae, and EDM into his own unique sound. His songs are typically about failed relationships and heartbreak, but they're often sung or rapped over bright, sunny backing tracks that partially disguise the melancholy sentiments of the lyrics. His debut full-length, The Story of Us, was released in late 2017, garnering significant buzz and reaching number 25 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart. It paved the way for 2019's From Michigan with Love and 2020's A Letter to My Younger Self, both of which charted on the Billboard 200. He further expanded his sound with 2021's ayokay-produced Change of Scenery II.
Born Mikael Temrowski in 1992, the Motown-influenced artist began making music in high school. Later, while a student at Michigan State University, he worked with his Ann Arbor-based friend ayokay on additional tracks. His hip-hop mixtape Shlup appeared in 2013, but Quinn gained more attention as his songs became more pop-focused. Following the spring 2015 release of his Change of Scenery EP, his single "Stung" was issued by Atlantic imprint Taste and Tone later in the year. "Kings of Summer," a collaboration with ayokay, followed in early 2016, as did Quinn's EP Bloom. A pair of catchy singles, "Straightjacket" and "Make Time," appeared in late 2016 and early 2017, respectively. The former landed on his official full-length debut, The Story of Us, which was released in September 2017 on Columbia Records. It cracked the Top 30 of the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart.
The next year, Quinn signed with the Visionary Music Group management company and issued a deluxe edition of his debut, adding an additional disc of songs, including "What the Hell Happened to Us," a duet with Kailee Morgue. 2018 also saw the release of "Middle Finger," a collaboration with Phoebe Ryan, and the solo single "Panama." His second album, From Michigan with Love, was released in February 2019 and included the tracks "Werewolf" with Yoshi Flower, "Tough" with Noah Kahan, and "Life Must Go On" with Jon Bellion.
Following an international tour, Quinn returned in January 2020 with the non-album track "Two 10s." That July, he released his third full-length, A Letter to My Younger Self, which featured the song "Coffee" with Marc E. Bassy. It peaked at number 56 on the Billboard 200. Quinn closed out the year with "Stay Next to Me" featuring Chelsea Cutler. That track also worked as the first song off his fourth album, 2021's Change of Scenery II. Produced and recorded at ayokay's home studio in Rhode Island, the album also included collaborations with Jeremy Zucker and Alexander 23. "Backpack" followed in 2022.

Yea, that's what I was talking about. That pissy little beam version of it that Cell does was horrible. Eventhough Vegeta created the Final Flash I still think he should have kept the Galic Gun. Too cool of an attack to get rid of.

Infection is the most common reason for hospitalisation of patients taking clozapine, accounting for a quarter of admissions, a study published in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology has found.
The researchers said the finding was “in contrast” to safety protocols and clinical focus surrounding “the well-known, but rare side effects of clozapine such as agranulocytosis or myocarditis”.
The study, published on 23 December 2022, was a retrospective analysis of 114 separate admissions to King’s College Hospital, London, of 87 patients prescribed clozapine over a 12-month period between 2018 and 2019.
All patients who were taking clozapine in any formulation at the time of admission to hospital were included in the study, with the median time since starting clozapine found to be nine years.
Through their examination of the patients’ records, the researchers found that the most common presenting complaint on admission was a form of neurological complaint, such as confusion or a fall.
However, at the point of discharge, the most frequent primary diagnosis given was infection (25%), most of which were respiratory infections (57%).
The authors highlighted that prescribers often worry about agranulocytosis or myocarditis, rather than infection, in patients taking clozapine and “guidelines and mandatory blood test monitoring systems are used to identify these adverse effects quickly”.
But the researchers also found that clozapine plasma concentrations were not routinely measured. In total, 18 (16%) patients had one or more plasma concentrations measured during their admission, 14 of which were within the first 24 hours after admission.
The authors said that this was “despite some of the reasons for admission potentially being caused by clozapine toxicity”.
“Furthermore, infection is known to cause clinically significant increases in clozapine plasma concentrations in some patients due to reduction in CYP1A2 enzyme activity during periods of inflammation,” they wrote.
“For this reason, monitoring of plasma concentrations during periods of severe infection and consideration of temporary dose reduction are recommended by many experts.”
The authors said that all patients taking clozapine who are admitted to hospital for medical treatment should have their plasma concentration measured at least on admission, and then as clinically indicated.
Ciara Ni Dhubhlaing, chief pharmacist at St. Patrick’s University Hospital, Dublin, said the study was “substantial” in what it added to existing knowledge of physical health morbidity in patients prescribed clozapine.
“There is a focus on thrombocytopenia as the major risk with clozapine but that risk is small and well managed by compulsory FBC [full blood count] monitoring, in contrast with the risks of gastrointestinal hypomobility causing severe constipation or bowel obstruction, and hypersalivation as a risk factor for respiratory infections such as aspiration pneumonia,” she said.
Dhubhlaing added that constipation and hypersalivation along with weight gain and sedation could and should be actively managed in primary care and community pharmacies as well as in specialist services.
“Actively reviewing clozapine dosing with the aid of plasma level monitoring and history taking (particularly changes to smoking, which can alter plasma levels by up to 70%), as well as symptom review, can aid dose minimisation to reduce adverse effects and maximisation for the benefit of the patient’s mental health,” she said.

It took award-winning journalist, writer, and book collaborator Jeannine Amber twenty years to figure out too many details in writing can hurt a project. Journalism writing is no exception. The former Essence senior editor spontaneously sets the scene to provide an example: She’s interviewing someone in their home and upon entering, she sees there are a million things going on. There are books. The color of the sofa stands out. And children’s toys are on the floor. There is also a dog (probably running about).
“So in the part of the article where I describe Mrs. So and So sat in her living room, which of those details am I going to include?” Amber raises to So Booking Cool. “I don’t need to tell you everything that’s going on in the room. I need to tell you that she’s sitting on the sofa and there are children’s toys on the floor because I’m about to tell you something about how, you know, she’s working two jobs and things are sort of haphazard because she’s so busy.”
She continues, “You have to pick your details wisely. The inverse of that is if you put in everything it is filler. It slows down the momentum of the story and people don’t understand why they’re reading it.”
When I mention that some people insert filler in their writing regardless the assignment because they want to fulfill a word count requirement, Amber says it’s not about giving more words, it’s about giving more information.
Watch the interview to learn more about Amber’s thoughts and insight on writing including the early lessons she’s learned in her journalism education and work that she would caution rising journalists about; whether her mother’s career as an English teacher and her late father being a legend in Toronto broadcasting influenced her own path and how; when she realized the kinds of stories she wanted to tell; how it feels to have recognition and when she first noticed her writing was making an impact; the time she interviewed Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton; and more!

So, I found a bag of forgotten yarn in the basement the other day. Among others, there are two handfuls of colors of Dalegarn Falk (sport weight, 100% wool, machine washable), perfect for a colorful pair of Latvian-style fingerless mitts. I used five colors: medium orange, olive green, yellow-green, light yellow, and burgundy.
Should go well with my brown coat.

How to Make a Coffee Candle
The smell of coffee elevates mood. We have decided to tell you how to create a candle that will serve you for a home decor and raise your spirits.
We need: paraffin candles, coffee beans, and a box. You can use a juice box.
We cut the candle, take out the wick and melt the water bath.
While the wax is melted, take the wick (I took out the candles that were cut), install it as shown in the photo.
Then add the coffee beans into the melted wax. Hold on a steam bath for 10 minutes and you can place the coffee beans in the shape.
This is the first layer.
Let the wax cool slightly.
Once a first layer is cool, pour the melted wax into the mold. And again let the wax cool.
Remove the candle mold when the wax is dry. Candle wax should take about 12 hours to dry completely, but may take longer in high temperatures.
Trim the candle’s wick. When the candle has been removed from the mold, untie the wick from the chopstick. Trim the wick so that it is flush with the bottom of the candle and extends about half an inch (1 cm) from the top of the candle.


A new playground structure at South Hudson Park got a little closer to reality.
The City chose to support an application for funds from the Saskatchewan government for rebuilding the playground at the park.
“That just allows us to make an application for some funds to do a bit of an upgrade over there,” said Huntley.
Funds for the renovation, if approved, will come from the Saskatchewan government’s Municipal Economic Enhancement Program (MEEP). As Flin Flon is a border community, the City is able to obtain grant funding from the Saskatchewan government for projects based in the Saskatchewan side of town - which, by virtue of being on South Hudson, the playground project abides. Funding through the MEEP is devoted specifically to projects with a signed funding agreement, a project plan and a council resolution supporting the project.
In total, upgrading the playground is estimated to cost $65,000, exactly $29,177 of which would come from the MEEP. The money must be fully spent on the project by March 31, 2022.
“It’s additional gas tax funding that was released and it is done on a per capita basis. The amount is what we’re entitled to, but we have to have a resolution of council to submit the application so the project can move forward,” explained City chief administrative officer Glenna Daschuk.
If approved, the City anticipates the playground project will be completed by the end of next summer.

We spent a few days on the road before Jay needed to start back at work for the New Year.
An inch of snow....
This past summer when I took the girls for three weeks on the road there was no fighting...
There was a lot of fighting.
There were no tears this past summer, less that one time we were leaving the Grand Canyon heading to Zion and there were no gas stations open... No food... etc. and we ran out of snacks. It may have been my definition of a personal nightmare (and Lex's.)
There were a lot of tears.
The overall disaster of this trip was amazingly impressive.
Ten years from now we will remember the tears at Chaco as we ran along a trail looking for the petroglyphs and waiting an hour in the car to regain circulation in our fingers and toes.
The girls became the first and second Jr. Rangers at Chaco in 2015 and we really enjoyed having the park to ourselves.
A tradition made over the summer, one which would not die on an 11 degree day.
Not impressed with his interruptions while taking pics of some great kiva's.
At this point Jay had already hiked this area while I waited in the car with the girls. While excavating the ruins they discovered many macaw skeletons which had been traded up this way, the feathers have been found at Mesa Verde showing some pretty extensive trade paths.
The snowball queen.
Because I like our blog to be a place of honesty, I should probably mention that dad went out there because of the wind... Someone needed a little help walking to the sign. We plan on heading back to the sister parks again at some point in the future. Carlsbad had closed because there was no water going to the park... and apparently they closed the highway to the park;) We may have driven around the already knocked over sign.
The girls enjoyed Blizzards company on the trip. I'm not sure she appreciates pink flower bows... but it did stay in her hair for a few hours.
Our last stop was Capulin, A1 very much enjoys exploring geology so this was a very fun trip. She's been rather disappointed though in the past few weeks. Since visiting Volcan de Colima has erupted. Yes, silly me planned our trip to the wrong Mexico.
Overall, I'm learning to appreciate failure and misadventure. There have been many field trips that went off without a hitch that we have few memories of... while the trips that failed, we remember. Plus, when a misadventure happens we have an excuse to go back. This trip, less Chaco- will likely be repeated.

‘Social security: Admn must ensure elderly have access to basic necessities’
LEH: In India, the social security scheme is a government-run program that provides a safety net for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, widows, disabled individuals, and those living in poverty.
In Ladakh union territory, the social security scheme is also implemented by the government. However, due to the unique geography and cultural context of the region, there likely arise certain variations in the implementation of the scheme.
The scheme includes a range of benefits, such as pensions, healthcare, and life insurance for people.
The Social Security Scheme in India is implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, and includes several programs such as the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, the Employees’ State Insurance Scheme, and the National Pension System.
One of the senior citizens said that among variations in the implementation of the scheme, likely include the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council may play a role in the administration of social security programs in the region.
Overall, the social security scheme in Ladakh is an important safety net for vulnerable populations, helping to ensure that they have access to basic necessities such as healthcare and financial support, he said, and added that the administration must ensure that the poor, old have access to basic necessities.
“We have more than forty thousand elderly, adult people illiterate and unskilled who are in dire need of social security supporting and securing our further life,” he said.
Multiple initiatives have been taken by the administration for implantation of the social security scheme in the UT, and presently the authorities have been intending to do so.
Among schemes include Indira Gandhi Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS), which is a centrally sponsored scheme and shared with Central government under which financial Assistance is provided to old aged persons of 60 years age and above, living Below Poverty Line (BPL). However, as per the data available, the scheme has only 6486 beneficiaries registered in the UT. And also under Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme (IGNWPS), 445 beneficiaries get benefitted through this scheme.
At UT level, Integrated Social Security Scheme (IGSSS) state sponsored scheme is benefitting people here. Under this scheme pension is provided to old aged persons, males (60 years and above) and females (55 and above) and persons who are destitute in the sense of having no means of subsistence from their own source of income or through financial support from family members or other sources. And under this scheme, the UT has so far registered 3866 beneficiaries.
Recently, with the aim of creating social security schemes for the people of Leh, especially for the poor and marginalised sections of the society, Chairman/CEC, Tashi Gyalson had asked the Bajaj Alliance to come up with plans for the way forward.
Regarding the same, a delegation of Bajaj Alliance met the CEC Leh and had briefed him about their plans to ensure the safety and security of the people of Ladakh.
For the relationship with the people of Ladakh and their future plans, the company had dicussed plans including the Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company (GIC) blueprint for securing Ladakh as the Lead General Insurance for the Union Territory of Ladakh.

Her voice is famous throughout the galaxy; her face is completely unknown.
Fleeing her monstrous husband back on puritanical Earth and the police assassins he's hired, singer Mella Archer becomes stranded on the frontier planet of Nexus. Desperate to survive, she picks the wrong target--Dain, the head of planetary security.
Dain is amused by the attempted theft, and when Mella is sentenced to serve time indentured as a bedroom slave, he buys her contract. As he introduces the repressed Earther to the pleasures of sex with a dominating warrior, he slowly comes to realize that the little thief has stolen his heart.
When the monster arrives on Nexus and has lunch with Dain, Mella is panic-stricken. Her owner must be part of the conspiracy to kill her, and it will only be a matter of time before the monster discovers that she’s still alive. She attempts to escape. She fails. Embittered by her lies and mistrust, Dain returns her to Indenture Hall to be sold again.
Now the monster has found her. And she has nowhere left to run...

High blood pressure (BP) is dangerous. It can lead to many health problems, including heart disease, brain stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, sexual dysfunction, and more. Below are a few common ways to reduce BP immediately:
- Staying calm: Too much stress or worries may shoot BP. Being calm can actually reduce BP. Sit down and focus on breathing. Take a few deep breaths and hold them for a few seconds before releasing. Deep slow breathing can help lower your stress levels, thereby bringing down the BP. One of the main reasons why BP shoots up is erratic breathing patterns during times of stress. That’s why deep breathing helps in lowering hypertension and regulating BP. Practicing yoga and meditation along with slow breathing every day may give better results simultaneously. Make stress reduction a priority.
- Dark chocolate: Eating a piece of dark chocolate may help in reducing BP because they help in releasing endorphins (chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain). Dark chocolate is also rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, which have been shown in some studies to reduce BP. It is however recommended to stick to smaller amounts of dark chocolates and choose a dark chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa content.
- Hibiscus or chamomile tea: A cup of hibiscus or chamomile tea may also help in relieving stress and reducing BP. However, it should not be taken with black tea or coffee.
- Berries: Berries have many health benefits, and one of them is improving BP and reducing other heart disease risks. Berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, have lots of polyphenols, which are great for the heart. They’re also really tasty. We may also add them to a smoothie made with low-fat or fat-free yogurt without added sugar.
- Lie down: It’s harder for the heart to pump blood when you are standing up straight. It has to work against gravity to send blood upwards all over your body. When a person lies down, the heart and head are at the same level, so it doesn’t have to pump very hard. This will help reduce the load on the heart and lower the BP.
- Sleep: Not getting enough sleep or rest can cause BP to increase. An individual may require at least six hours of sleep every night. Sleep helps in regulating stress hormones, bringing down the BP naturally.
What type of food is recommended to control blood pressure?
As per the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology, a person has high blood pressure (BP) if their BP is more than 130/80, which means that nearly half of all adults may need to lower their BP.
Below are a few common diet and food that help in relieving BP:
- Moderate sodium reduction: There is a decrease in BP in hypertensive individuals with a reduction in salt intake and keeping it to below 1500 mg.
- Olive oil: Olive oil may be one of the most important ingredients of a healthy diet. It is packed with antioxidants and polyphenols that have various health benefits, including the reduction of BP. Cooking veggies with olive oil also allows bodies to absorb fat-soluble vitamins K, A, D, and E. It is always recommended to opt for a quality extra-virgin olive oil for maximum health benefits.
- Flaxseeds: Several studies have shown that flaxseeds are a powerful superfood when it comes to reducing hypertension. They contain α-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid, that has been found to reduce BP. They can also be sprinkled on salads, smoothies, or baked goods.
- High-potassium and magnesium-rich foods: Unless contraindicated in persons with poor kidney function, a potassium-rich diet lowers BP. Potassium-rich foods include spinach, orange, papaya, grapes, and banana. Potassium helps the kidneys flush sodium out of our systems, which in turn can cause our BP to decrease. Some other high-potassium foods to try are melons, apricots, leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tuna, salmon, beans, nuts, seed, Swiss chard, and white beans. Smoothies with banana, spinach, and avocado can also be considered a snack or breakfast. Magnesium may also help in relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the blood to pass through. Foods rich in magnesium include vegetables, dairy, chicken, legumes, and whole grains.

Systolic and diastolic are the two readings in which blood pressure is measured. The American College of Cardiology released new guidelines for high blood pressure in 2017. The guidelines now state that blood normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. If either one of those numbers is higher, you have high blood pressure.
The American Academy of Cardiology defines high blood pressure slightly differently. The AAC considers 130/80 mm Hg. or greater (either number) stage 1 hypertension. Stage 2 hypertension is considered 140/90 mm Hg. or greater.
If you have high blood pressure you are at risk of developing life threatening diseases like stroke and heart attack.
