Enid Todd is an ordinary woman with an extraordinary talent. While she sleeps, E becomes psychically linked to people all over the world. When her dreams reveal a dangerous secret close to home, E risks everything she’s ever cared about on a one-in-a-million chance to bring justice and save lives.
The psychic dreams change E in more ways than she could have imagined. They also lead her to Bryan, a man who loves the rainforests but feels powerless to stop their destruction. It takes the support of a disillusioned activist and the women of The Lotus Circle to convince E that her dreams point to a future in which she can build a new life for herself, make a difference in the world and—just maybe—find true love.

It’s time to shake up the League of Legends world and get some much-anticipated updates. The “Durability Update”, LOL PATCH 12.10 will bring some changes to the game’s champions and tweak a few gameplay fundamentals.
Riot Games has been hard at work keeping their player bases happy. We recently reported about Valorant coming to consoles. And now we’re getting ready to see what LOL patch 12.10 will bring to another one of Riots’ popular titles.
We anticipate that players might need a few sessions to get used to the changes in patch 12.10, and some might feel overwhelmed. But, like all changes, a new dawn of LOL is upon us and if things don’t go as expected, more patches can be introduced in the future.
Champions are set to get a boost to their base stats, such as health, health per level, and revise a few system changes. This includes Grievous Wounds, Turrets etc. So, to all the league of legends players out there putting in hours of gaming grind in the game. Get ready for a new whirlwind of gameplay readjustment.
Here’s everything we know about the LOL 12.10 patch. And yes, The patch will be available to download on all supported devices/platforms, so your gaming setup is still good enough.
According to the official LOL patch schedule.
12.10 is scheduled to be released on May 25 2022.
Titled the Durability Update, League developers have released a big patch note which shows that the 12.10 Durability Update will be the biggest update of season 12. It not only brings changes to the champions but, 50% of the items available in the league shop will see a facelift. Additionally, a number of runes will be overhauled too.
Riot aims to slow the game down, as champions will be heavier “tankier” which will likely stop the burst kills.
They hope to increase defensive stats to decrease damage and allow players to showcase their counterplay skills more effectively. According to the developer’s blog post.
Here are a few specifics & numbers from Riot.
- Attack damage: 125 + 8 per minute ⇒ 150 + 10 per minute
- Base reduced from 40% to 30%
- Enhanced reduced from 60% to 50%
- Reduced by 5-10%, depending on the item
- Reduced by 10-28%, depending on item or rune
- Reduced by 10% on average
- Outer Turret AD: 152-278 ⇒ 167-391
- Inner Turret AD: 170-305 ⇒ 187-427
- Inhibitor Turret AD: 170-305 ⇒ 187-427
- Nexus Turret AD: 150-285 ⇒ 165-405
- Damage to minions unchanged
- Base health increased by 70
- Health per level increased by 14
- Armor per level increased by 1.2
- Magic resist per level increased by 0.8
- Reduced by 10-28%, depending on champion
- Reduced by 10% on average
LOL patch 12.10 will bring on five more High Noon Skins namely for Samira, Sion, Tahm Kench, Twitch, and Viktor. As always the new skins will reveal new models, textures, VFX and animations. We hope to get some awesome merch inspired by the new skins in the coming months too! Fingers crossed.
So there you have it, what to expect and what will be available to league of legends players when patch 12.10 is released.

Multi-Functional Transport Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) procurement issues
In March 1993, the European Union lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO), claiming that the Japanese government violated the WTO accord on government procurement when it excluded EU companies from bidding on a next-generation Multi-Functional Transport Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) for commercial aircraft. After the general assessment bidding system, the Japanese government awarded the contract to NEC, which has a business link with the U.S. company, Hughes, over Toshiba at about 4.6 billion yen, citing technological superiority. To cope with increasing air traffic, the Ministry of Transport plans to use the multi-purpose satellite and GPS (Global Positioning System) to accurately locate aircraft, mainly in skies over the Asia and Pacific Region. The new technology will shorten flight intervals from the current 10 to 15 minutes to less than 5 minutes. MASA is a computer system that corrects GPS positioning signals to improve aviation precision. Plans call for it to go into practical use around 2000.
World Trade Organization (WTO)
This international organization was established in 1995 to replace General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). It seeks agreements and smooth implementation to reduce tariffs and other trade impediments and abolish discriminatory practices in international trade. However, the area of aviation is exempt from the General Agreement on Trade in Services except for certain auxiliary duties such as aircraft maintenance. In its complaint regarding international bidding on Multi-Functional Transport Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS), the European Union claimed that the Japanese request for compatibility with the more advanced specifications of the U.S. system effectively excluded EU companies from the bidding process. Based on the Agreement on Government Procurement stipulating the principle of non-discrimination, bilateral negotiations were arranged, inviting the United States to attend as a country with a vested interest. The dispute was resolved after two rounds of negotiations. In disputes that cannot be resolved through bilateral negotiations, the WTO makes its judgments through multilateral negotiations.

A 40-year-old woman and her three children -- two children and an adult -- were found shot to death Tuesday inside a Florida apartment, police said.
Lake Wales police said officers were called around 8:50 p.m. to the Sunrise Apartments and found four victims dead from apparent gunshot wounds. The children were 21, 17 and 11 years old, according to Lake Wales Police Chief Chris Velasquez.
[TRENDING: Become a News 6 Insider]
Police said Al Stenson, 38, of Lake Wales, wanted on four counts of first-degree murder in connection to the shooting deaths, was located Wednesday morning.
“We know exactly where he’s at right now, and we’re working to take him into custody in as safe a way as we can,” Velasquez said during a news conference outside the apartment complex where the victims lived, east of Tampa.
It was later learned Stenson was located at a Sanford motel, where he was later shot and killed by law enforcement following an hourslong negotiation to get him safely into custody.
Detectives said their investigation determined Stenson shot the victims inside the apartment around 5 a.m. Tuesday and fled. Authorities were not contacted until about 16 hours later when family members found the victims.
“Our hearts are broken for the family,” Velasquez said.
The motive for the slayings is unknown, but police said Stenson and the victims knew each other and he may have lived at the apartment.
No other details have been released.

Can I use a Speedlight 430EX II on my Canon 5D Mark IV (on the camera)? I'm not looking to have it fire other flashes — just want to use it on the camera.
Yes. This is a Canon-brand flash and it will work on Canon-brand cameras. From Canon's web site for the 430 EX II:
Compatible Cameras: All Canon EOS cameras; PowerShot G series cameras
The Canon 5D is an EOS camera.
Yes, you can use any of the Canon EX speedlite units on the flash hotshoe of a Canon dSLR, and it will be compatible and won't hurt your camera. You just cannot access the 2012 features that were added with the -RT flash units, that your 5DMkIV can do.
That is, you can't use the 430EXII as a shutter remote, or use it in Gr mode as an off-camera optical slave, etc. And, obviously, it doesn't have an RT radio receiver built-in, like the 430EX III-RT.
But it can be controlled via the camera's flash control menu (the 430EX Mk I cannot), and will properly fire, perform eTTL, 2nd curtain, and HSS (high-speed sync).

Man held on suspicion of £113,000 theft bailed
A man arrested on suspicion of the theft of £113,000 from Warwickshire Police's former headquarters has been released on police bail.
The 54-year-old man was held after the cash disappeared from the former HQ in the Leek Wootton area.
It was understood the money was reported missing in September 2011.
The man, from the Stratford-upon-Avon area, has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
The cash had been confiscated following the conviction of three people at Warwick Crown Court in January 2010.

I was searching for options and found these from Armory Craft. I was told they would be available soon. These are the Aluminum Grips and will be available in more color options (Gray/Black/Copper/Blue/Red). Armory Craft is also working on G10 and Wood Options.

Decades after the poliomyelitis epidemics in Australia, the aftermath of the disease is now becoming evident in our ageing ‘polio population’. An estimated 400,000 people may be experiencing the Late Effects of Polio (LEoP) or Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS). In addition, there is a younger population who have migrated to Australia who require management and support. There are many cross-overs in the treatment and management of other chronic diseases and LEoP/PPS, and there are also some very significant differences. If LEoP is not identified, the client can experience rapidly worsening symptoms due to inadvertently incorrect care. Do you know how to recognise these conditions in your practice?
Workshops – Video & Topics
Demystifying Late Effects of Polio and Post-Polio Syndrome
If you are interested in attending or hosting a workshop, please email us at [email protected].
For many LEoP/PPS clients, biomedical and pharmaceutical treatments have limited efficacy. Polio survivors are turning their attention and hopes to allied health practitioners to help them improve their quality of life, and prolong their daily functional ability as they age. With a holistic approach to care and increased awareness within the greater health sector, LEoP/PPS clients can manage their symptoms, live better, and age well.
Each workshop will cover the following topics in an interactive format:
What is polio? A brief history of polio in Australia. The pathophysiology of poliomyelitis.
Demystifying Late Effects of Polio and Post-Polio Syndrome Understanding the clinical signs and key screening questions for people who have a history of Polio.
Clinical presentation and screening: Understanding the clinical signs and key screening questions for people who have had a history of Polio.
The Aging Polio Population: Joining the dots of problems experienced in LEoP / PPS clients.
The Management Team: Who and when to link in with Medical and Allied Health Professionals to manage the condition.
Practical Strategies used by physiotherapists, orthotists, and various other allied health professionals to address key concerns such as managing pain and fatigue, and help with stability and avoiding falls.
A Late Effects of Polio Case Study Q&A with local polio survivors and team care simulation
Workshops offered by Polio Australia are developed and driven by best-practice research emerging from Europe and the USA. Paul Cavendish, Accredited Exercise Physiologist with a neurological background, with vital contributions from ‘lived experience expert’ polio survivors.
Polio Australia wishes to build a complement of skilled and knowledgeable ‘polio’ practitioners across many different modalities around Australia to further increase awareness and standardise care provision for polio survivors.
As such, attendees complete a short assessment at the conclusion of the event, receive a certificate of attendance, and earn 2.5 CPD hours. After completing this training they can nominate as a preferred ‘LEoP Practitioner’ on the Polio Australia Interdisciplinary Post-Polio Health Professionals Register.
Who should attend?
Allied and other health practitioners such as: physiotherapists, occupational therapists, orthotists, exercise physiologists, nurses, podiatrists, speech pathologists, dietitians, social workers, case managers, and anyone else who is interested in knowing more about the post-polio body. See more about the post-polio interdisciplinary care team here.

This is another fantastic trick. In my case the text was set on a totally

One of the greatest hymn writers of all time is Charles Wesley. He was the younger brother of John Wesley, the great gospel preacher of the 18th century. We see Charles’s greatness in a Christmas hymn that he wrote. Here are the lyrics of the first verse.
Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity,
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
What is Charles getting at here? To human minds, it is truly beyond our understanding how God became a man, yet remained God: contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man.
The Son of God is all-powerful, almighty, all-knowing, and all-seeing. The Son of God was there before time began in all eternity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He was there at creation, speaking the universe into being. Since then, he has upheld the world by his power.
Yet within the time and space he created, and without giving up his deity, he fully and completely became a man.
C. S. Lewis captured something of this in his book, The Last Battle. And at one point he has one of the main characters saying, ‘A stable once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world.’
This is a paradox, a striking contrast. G. K. Chesterton said, ‘A paradox is a truth standing on its head shouting for attention.’
The coming of the Son of God into the world should shout at us for our attention! I want to focus on five other paradoxes or contrasts connected with the birth of Christ.

Some seriously strange stories have surfaced over the years in regard to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop brand, but this one is right up there. As a police blotter item in the East Hampton Star explains, two men caught fire in a Goop store in the Hamptons after a most-unusual explosion. The no-joke part of the story is that both men were hospitalized after the incident in Sag Harbor Village for treatment of burns. As for what caused this, a Goop rep has confirmed that there "was an accidental fire in connection with a s'mores station" inside the store, per Today.
A story at People attempts to unpack that by talking to village Police Chief Austin McGuire, who says the store was having some kind of an event on the day in question. "Upon arrival, he said he was informed that stone candle holders were being filled with rubbing alcohol, and eventgoers were using this method to melt marshmallows for s'mores," per the story. Apparently, this very bad idea came from social media. "I've been doing this for 26 years and I've seen a lot, but nothing like this," McGuire tells People.
The incident remains under investigation, and the particulars remain in question. The Goop rep tells Today that "the information about the rubbing alcohol and candles is factually incorrect" and that "no candles were in use at the time of the accidental fire." But whatever was happening led to what the police blotter item describes as a "large explosion and flames." Police say a fire extinguisher on the premises kept things from getting worse. "We are wishing a speedy recovery to the two injured parties and are grateful there were no additional injuries," says the Goop rep. (More Goop stories.)

A recent study ranked Winnetka near the top in terms of wealth and affluence
Winnetka is the second-richest city in America, according to a new analysis from 24/7 Wall St.
In its study, which looked at a number of economic factors, 24/7 Wall St. emphasized Winnetka’s highly-paid, highly-educated population, of which 88 percent have at least a bachelor’s degree (three times the national average) and only 0.8 percent lack a high school diploma. Additionally, the study mentioned Winnetka’s median home value of $936,200, and its median household income of $211,250.
Only Scarsdale Village, a suburb of New York City, ranked higher in 24/7 Wall St.’s report; there, median household income is $233,311, and the median home value exceeds $1 million.
Characteristics of Affluent Areas
24/7 Wall St. also highlighted some of the interesting similarities that America’s wealthiest cities share, including:
- All are quiet suburbs within commuting distance of a major city.
- In eight of the 10 richest cities, at least 70 percent of households featured a married couple, and at least 30 percent of those married couples had children; that compares nationally with 48.7 percent of households with married couples and 20 percent with children.
- Finally, all the richest cities also have highly educated residents. Ninety-seven percent of adults in those areas have at least a high school diploma, compared with 86 percent nationwide; furthermore, in nine of the 10 richest cities, 70 percent of adults have at least a bachelor’s degree, compared with 28.8 percent nationwide.

I would have enjoyed this show more if it contained a plot I could suspend disbelief for. I’m a big fan of James Purefoy, so I’ve been looking forward to this show for months.
Complicated back-stories reaching back several years works for fictional fantasy worlds like Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. It often doesn’t work so well for urban crime fiction. Can you imagine visiting the childhood of Patrick Bateman in flashbacks of American Psycho? It’s unnecessary and it muddies the storytelling with an effort to make the tale seem larger than it is or to add depth to an overly-simplistic plot. An exception to that is the Hannibal series by Thomas Harris, but those are in a category of their own anyway.
The Following would have worked much better as a supernatural thriller. Kevin Bacon simply informing the audience in reminiscent dialogue that Joe Carroll (the serial killer villain, played by James Purefoy) is a gifted, mesmerizing teacher and cult figurehead was careless writing. I understand that the writing has to conform to a strictly-timed format and the segments are limited, but I saw no evidence of Joe Carroll’s great charisma in either the writing or the portrayal. Aside from the facts that (1) it would be very unlikely that Joe Carroll could find a single follower willing to kill for him and that (2) psychopaths generally do not function that way; Carroll finding a group of followers willing and societally able to dedicate years of their lives perpetuating lifestyle facades to get close to his “unfinished masterpiece” and help him murder her would be… astronomical.
Not like finding a needle in a haystack astronomical, but like finding a single specific needle in a stack of needles the size of Oregon.
That’s not to say you can’t write a show about a conspiracy of murderers colluding for a single purpose and make it work, because you can. Look at The Omen. Look at The Wicker Man, or Rosemary’s Baby. See a pattern yet?
As soon as it became apparent that there were conspirators working with Joe Carroll and the whole cult framework reared its head, I began to think of Lord of Illusions. More than a few themes of The Following closely mirror Lord of Illusions, but without the supernatural element. To be honest, I’m a little puzzled as to why they decided to leave that element out. It would have explained so much and also neatly dispensed with the faulty psychology holding the large-scale cult plot together. Why does a cult of aspiring serial killers pull together to follow this man? He’s a demon. See? That makes sense now.
But Joe Carroll is no Nix and The Following is too far-fetched to be labeled serious or gritty, though it certainly qualifies as a thriller. Sadly, since I was not feeling any of the characters, the first episode succeeded neither as a relationship-driven story or a horror story for me, but I always give new shows 3 episodes to prove out. Here’s hoping.
Another thing: I laid bets with a friend a few weeks ago that the chosen victims of The Following were going to be attractive young women. Corpses of the week, basically, picked for no other logical reason than being pretty. I know that conforms to the Poe connection the killer has, but it’s careless and it’s creepy and smacks of deliberate construction to serve an unpalatable purpose, like killing pretty women onscreen is more liable to garner an audience than offing truckdrivers or something. I was let down to win that bet. I hope I don’t win it next week.
If you watch TV crime shows for the actors, urban settings, and mature writing without being too critical, then watch The Following, because there’s some nifty camera work, hues, and music choices in there. Otherwise, it’s a lot of shock value for not enough payoff. Only you can decide if that works for you.
But I’m going to watch it next week, because I still have hope for it and, hello, James Purefoy. 🙂

A Turkish court on Sept. 2 ruled for the release of a nephew of U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gülen in a case concerning charges of “sexually assaulting a minor.”
As Selahaddin Gülen is also facing charges of “establishing and managing an armed terror organization,” he will be kept in prison.
Selahaddin Gülen was seized in an operation by the Turkish national spy agency MİT in Kenya in May and was brought to Turkey.
A Kenyan court had earlier blocked his deportation and Human Rights Watch has called on Kenya to investigate the alleged complicity of Kenyan officials.
Selahaddin Gülen is facing two separate investigations launched against him in Turkey. He is accused of belonging to the Gülen network headed by his uncle and also sexually assaulting a minor in 2007.
The Erzurum 1st Heavy Penal Court held the hearing for the sexual assault case on Sept. 2, to which Selahaddin Gülen connected via SEGBİS court-to-prison video link room from Ankara's Sincan prison, where he is incarcerated.
“Almost 15 years have passed since the incident. I do not remember my initial testimony. I do not know S.K. closely. Many incidents happened in the neighborhood during that period. I was staying away from S.K. since I was scared of her statements,” Selahaddin Gülen told the court.
The Erzurum court ruled for the release of Selahaddin Gülen on sexual assault charges, by imposing an international ban on him and obliging him to give his signature at the nearest police station. The court also postponed the hearing to Jan. 4, 2022.
As Selahaddin Gülen is also on trial with a demand of his imprisonment for 22.5 years over alleged links to the Gülen network, he will stay in prison.

Chronic Disease Day
On 7/10 we spread awareness on Chronic Disease Day to educate and advocate for people who live with a chronic health conditions every day.
A chronic disease is a condition that lasts longer than one year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Seven out of 10 people suffer from a form of chronic disease.
What are a few common chronic diseases?
- ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
- Crohn’s Disease
- Heart Disease
Many, but not all, chronic diseases can be prevented simply by practicing self-care. Improving and practicing a healthy lifestyle can likely reduce getting a chronic disease.


Thirsty Curses have shared a new video for their current single “Nothing Really Matters,” the track is off their 4th album To The Ends of the Earth, and will surely assuage the ears of the biggest fans of power pop. The full-length will be available on CD and download on March 4th, 2022. Thirsty Curses will tour behind the album, starting March 4th, Raleigh, NC.
The band recorded most of the album at frontman Wilson Getchell’s home studio in Raleigh, NC over the summer of 2021. The band also spent a day in Bias Studios in Northern Virginia where they recorded three songs for the album and did piano overdubs on the studio’s baby grand.
The album is a moody mother, as it bounces between numerous rock subgenres throughout. A majority of the songs appearing on To The Ends of the Earth were written since the completion of the band’s last album, Thirsty Curses. Incidentally, lead singer and songwriter Wilson Getchell began writing the album’s final track “Baptist and a Rabbi” circa 2008, but the song had largely been forgotten and was unfinished. However, during the 2020 lockdowns, Wilson ran across an old demo of the song and ultimately re-wrote some of the lyrics and transposed the song from guitar to piano.
To the Ends of the Earth is the first Thirsty Curses album to feature Evan Miller on drums and Alexander Weir on lead guitar, replacing Phil Harrington and Kelley Otwell, respectively, who left the band over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hannah Chapman (who sang on “GDMNT” on Thirsty Curses) provided guest backup vocals on “Tell Me the Truth.”

Discus fish are great to own, but they’re not fish that are recommended for beginners. They can be somewhat fragile and many people have a hard time keeping them healthy.
That isn’t to say that you’ll have a hard time if you’re willing to put in the effort, though. Even so, things can go wrong and you should know that these fish are susceptible to certain diseases.
One of the most troublesome diseases that discus fish might contract is known as velvet disease. Fish that get this disease could wind up perishing if you don’t take action.
Below, you’ll learn about velvet disease in discus fish. The information will help you to understand what to look out for as well as what you can do to help your fish.
What Is Velvet Disease?
Velvet disease is a type of parasitic infection. It’s caused by a round or oval-shaped parasite known as Oodinium.
This parasite can attack many types of fish, but it seems to bother discus fish and other types of ornamental fish a lot more. There are certain things that make discus fish more likely to contract this disease.
Poor water quality is the number one cause of velvet disease. When the water quality is poor it creates an environment where the parasite can thrive while also suppressing the immune system of the discus fish.
Problems with the water temperature and significant stress can also cause this disease. Ultimately, it’s caused by the parasite, but it’s these situations that allow the parasite to stick around in the tank.
Fish that contract velvet disease will have spots appear on their bodies. These spots will have a gray or gray-yellow appearance.
Sometimes this disease is referred to as “rust” or “gold rust disease” because of the way that the spots look. Either way, you should know that this is a serious issue that can kill your fish.
What Are the Symptoms of Velvet Disease?
There are certain symptoms of velvet disease that you should look out for. The first symptom involves the spots that appear on the body.
You’ve already learned that the spots can take on a gray or gray-yellow appearance. They might look a bit like rust on the fish.
As the infection progresses you will notice that the body of the fish will change. It’ll start developing excessive amounts of mucus and this will give the fish an opaque appearance.
You might see some skin ulcers on the fish and it will likely have clamped fins. It’s normal for fish to be weak and lethargic when they’re sick.
Sometimes the fish will have a tough time breathing as well. You might notice rapid breathing and sometimes this can even kill the fish outright.
The fish will lose its appetite and will stop eating much at all. In some cases, the fish will not eat anything at all.
When looking at the gill tissue, you’ll see that it will look unhealthy and rotted. As the infection continues, it’ll even cause the skin to start to peel off of the fish.
This condition can easily kill the fish, but it’s important to treat it as soon as possible to turn things around.
How to Treat It
Treating velvet disease is not something that should be put off. If you don’t catch things early enough it’s likely that your discus fish will simply die.
If you catch things fast, you can treat this condition in a few ways. To start, it’s best to do a partial water change of 50%.
You’re also going to want to clean the tank thoroughly. Test the tank using a pH balance testing kit to see if any levels need to be adjusted.
Solve water parameter issues and then raise the temperature in the tank. You want the water to be warmer to help the fish recover and inhibit the parasites.
Keep the water temperature at 86 degrees Fahrenheit for a day. You should also dim the lights in the room or on the tank.
Adding aquarium salt to the tank can help to treat the fish. Add one tablespoon of aquarium salt for every 40 gallons of water.
There are different medicines that are known to help treat this disease as well. Protozin is a common option that many people turn to, but you can also ask an exotic veterinarian for advice if you feel that you need it.
Consider using common bacterial infection treatments that you can find at pet stores. You should be able to turn things around if you follow this advice and keep the tank very clean.
How to Prevent It
Preventing velvet disease is the best course of action. You don’t want your discus fish to get sick in the first place.
To start, you should focus on maintaining excellent water quality. You need to do water changes in the tank multiple times per week.
Discus fish are so sensitive that they can’t put up with water that is just a bit too dirty. So you need to do regular water changes to help them stay healthy.
Clean the tank often enough and be sure to use a filter that’s powerful enough. Also, put the discus fish in a tank that is more than big enough for them.
Each discus fish will need ten gallons of space in the tank. Having a larger tank makes it that much easier to keep the tank clean.
Aside from this, you want to be careful to use a reliable heater. Temperature fluctuations can stress the fish and will make them more susceptible to illnesses.
Always quarantine new fish and aquatic plants for a week before putting them in the tank. You can get away with quarantining plants for five days, but many people do it for a week just to be safe.
Feed your discus fish high-quality foods to maintain health. Don’t overfeed them and be sure to stick to a regular feeding schedule.
Never overcrowd the tank because this will stress the fish. Remember that stress makes these fish more susceptible to diseases such as velvet disease.
You should have a much better understanding of velvet disease now. This is a dangerous condition that can kill your fish if you choose to do nothing.
The important thing is to try to catch this issue before it gets too bad. Catching it early allows you to start treatment right away.
You can also work to prevent velvet disease from impacting your fish in the first place. This means keeping the tank clean and paying close attention to the water parameters.
Ensure that you’re keeping the fish in a big enough tank and avoid problems with stress. If you handle the basics well, it’s easy enough to prevent this condition from becoming an issue in your tank.
Jeff has always enjoyed having pets, but as a child, he was drawn to his family’s fish tank. Being able to maintain a small ecosystem and observe the behaviors and interactions in the underwater world peaked his interest early on and has kept him hooked until this day. On Avid Aquarist, Jeff shares everything he’s learned about helping aquatic life survive and thrive in a home aquarium.

Some 60,000 doses of Astrazeneca vaccine will be distributed across 53 counties in South Sudan.
The World Health Organization and the South Sudan’s Ministry of Health confirmed receipt of the 60,000 doses of the newly received third batch of the Astrazeneca vaccines.
The batch was received on Tuesday, the 16th of November, 2021 and targets some 52,000 people who already received their first jab and are due for the second shots.
On Sunday, the WHO Covid-19 Incident Manager Dr. Sacha Bootsman said, “The start of AstraZeneca jab for those that need the second dose should be starting next week”.
UNHAS is currently deploying the AstraZeneca to all the sites where they were given the first doses.
“Everyone who is still waiting for the second dose should go to the same site for the jab,” Dr. Sacha said.
The WHO says about 127,570 people are fully vaccinated across the country.
“We have covered 53 counties out of 80 counties in the country and 127,570 people are fully vaccinated with both AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson,” Dr. Sacha said.
South Sudan confirmed 19 cases in the last 24 hours bringing the cumulative confirmed to 12,675 cases with 12,168 recoveries.
Globally, 38 percent of the world population is fully vaccinated with Africa’s population vaccinated 7 percent according to the WHO.
The WHO says Africa has recorded a decline in the number of Covid-19 cases with a death record of over 15,000 in the past one week.
“Africa receives continuous decline in the number of new cases and deaths except Egypt,” Dr. Bootsman added.
Bior Kuer Bior, the Manager for Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) said there is a general reduction in the number of infections in the country.
“What we are seeing is the average case count and daily positivity rate of 2.1 and are decreasing with an average of 12 cases per day,” Dr. Bior Kuer said.


New Parish Plan On 26 April around 70 residents from across the parish came together in the village hall for the Annual Parish Meeting. As chairman of the Parish Council, David Fox welcomed everyone and said that the key focus for the evening was to kick-start the process to develop the successor to our 2004 Parish Plan. Our current Parish Plan has served us well but all present agreed that now is the time to think about updating it as many of the actions have been completed. The purpose of such a plan is to help define what makes Brightwell-cum-Sotwell the place it is and how residents would like to see our community develop.
During the meeting Anton Nath of Oxfordshire Rural Community Council outlined the recommended process to follow. A number of parishioners volunteered to set up a steering group to guide the development of our Community Led Plan (the current jargon for a Parish Plan). We all wrote on multicoloured post-it notes our likes, dislikes and ideas for change in relation to all aspects of life in the parish. Nick Spencer gamely stepped forward to write these up and so begin the flow of ideas.
The Parish Council will work with the Steering Group to ensure a new plan is produced and is representative of our community. We hope as many people as possible will share their ideas and aspirations for Brightwell-cum-Sotwell Parish over the coming months. Please contact the clerk, Lucy Dalby, if you would like to know more.
Wallingfordhousing examination At the time of writing we are preparing to attend the public examination on 22 May. Following the examination the inspector is due to announce his final decision over the summer and the District Council to ratify the core strategy in the autumn.
Gravel extraction between Wallingford and Cholsey Unfortunately the County Council selected the Wallingford/Cholsey site as their preferred option. However, there will be a public consultation during June/July and a public examination in the autumn. There is a very strong case as to why the Wallingford/Cholsey site is inappropriate.
Further news At our April meeting Claire Strudwicke was co-opted to join the Parish Council. We have commissioned the County Council to undertake speed monitoring exercises on the A4130 just after Slade End roundabout and on the Shillingford Road at Shillingford Hill. Our County Councillor, Lynda Atkins, is seeking clarification as to whether the roll out of BT Infinity high-speed broadband will include Brightwell as well as Wallingford and what the timescales will be.

Late last week I started digging into a teaser from Sean Brodrick at Oxford Resource Explorer that promised “three supercharger plays” for the bull market in precious metals that he expects — and though I only “solved” the first teased stock that day I promised to follow up and catch up on the other two.
I got a bit distracted because of the furor over Michael Robinson’s “Little Black Box” pitch that got everyone excited last Thursday, but now we’re back on track — two more “Supercharger Plays” to be unearthed, tout de suite. And yes, gold is likely to be on a bit of a rollercoaster this week, just like US and European stocks, because speculators are trying to game the odds of the “Brexit” and figure out where they want their portfolio going into Thursday and Friday (there’s an interesting summary article here that repeats projections I’ve seen elsewhere, that gold could quickly hit $1,400 if the Brits vote to leave and fall back to about $1,200 if they vote to stay… for individual investors, I think this falls in the category of “things you can’t help thinking about or having a strong opinion about, but rolling the dice with a big bet either way is foolish.”)
The first stock we’ll seek out today is not really a gold “supercharger” … but silver is gold’s crazy younger brother, tending to follow the same path but with much wilder volatility. So what does Sean think you’ll be interested in when it comes to the silver shiny stuff? Here are some clues:
“Supercharger Play #2: Turn $5,000 in to $10,000
“My second pick is a metals play in the world’s largest silver producing country.
“The company was cash-flow-positive throughout silver’s downturn.
“It ended last year with $51 million in cash on the books. And it had $17.6 million worth of cash flow in the quarter.
“I recently visited one of its six producing mines….
“There I discovered the mine was ahead of schedule and under budget.
“Plus, I saw it also has two advanced-stage projects nearing completion.
“It is sitting on $2.2 billion in silver. Yet its market cap is $1.5 billion.
“So you are buying this silver stock at a 30% discount… in a market that’s going to rise as fear spreads….
“In fact, they expect to double production soon.
“On this one, I expect… at minimum… you could get the chance to double your money too.”
That one, sez the Thinkolator, is First Majestic Silver (AG, FR in Toronto). The market cap has gone up a bit since the article was composed (probably a few weeks ago) — it’s up to about $1.9 billion now, from a low of below $400 million in January. This latest bull market surge has really changed stock valuations dramatically, but you can see that over the long run AG has been a pretty solidly levered play on, well, Ag (using the silver bullion ETF, SLV, for comparison):
It’s frightening to see the wild breakout leverage that so many mining stocks have had so far this year, though, and it seems to really represent the kind of wild enthusiasm that creates crazy bubble valuations — though we should keep in mind that valuations got so horribly depressed that much of this may just be a snap back to something more “normal.”
Still, it scares me when a 25% move in silver causes a 270% move in a silver miner… and this kind of wild leverage has been common across the board in the mining sector. First Majestic has been around for a while, so we can draw a little comparison to past strong markets for silver — back in the third quarter of 2012 silver had a nice 25% run in pretty short order, and this is what the shares of AG did compared with the price of silver (represented by the SLV ETF):
And now, in the first six months of this year, silver is again up about 25%, and you can see what happened to silver compared to what happened to this big silver miner:

Little is known about the demographic and clinical differences between short and long duration of untreated bipolar disorder (DUB) in Chinese patients. This study examined the demographic and clinical features of short (≤2 years) and long DUB (>2 years) in China. A consecutively recruited sample of 555 patients with bipolar disorder (BD) was examined in 7 psychiatric hospitals and general hospital psychiatric units across China. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were collected using a standardized protocol and data collection procedure. The mean DUB was 3.2 ± 6.0 years; long DUB accounted for 31.0% of the sample. Multivariate analyses revealed that longer duration of illness, diagnosis of BD type II, and earlier misdiagnosis of BD for major depressive disorder or schizophrenia were independently associated with long DUB. The mean DUB in Chinese BD patients was shorter than the reported figures from Western countries. The long-term impact of DUB on the outcome of BD is warranted.

An Engineering Change Order (ECO) is a call for a change in a product’s design, whether it is in the form of a repair or an improvement. The process for requesting an ECO is rigid, having to undergo intensive analysis and consideration from project management, but why would you need an ECO? Here are a few examples of why ECOs can be essential and how they can affect production processes.
At one or multiple points in a product’s lifecycle, improving its design might be requested. Project management must then consider if implementing the design change will have a positive effect on the company. Managers may wonder, “What is the opportunity cost for improving?” If an amendment will be costly for the company and have a low impact on their overall sales, it would be a poor business decision to implement an ECO. However, if a change would be low cost to implement and bring more revenue in the long run, it would be smart to approve an ECO. If the product is already in the stage of manufacturing, companies will often decide not to make a small improvement because it becomes very costly to make the change. In some instances, however, the company will not have a choice in deciding to reject a change in design if it is a crucial repair.
Another type of ECO can be a repair to product design. Unlike improvements, repairs not only optimize a design but ensure a product will function properly. A product that creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards is an example of when not issuing a repair becomes a liability for the company. Even if the repair is costly and harms the company’s revenue, project management must issue an ECO if the product is unsafe for customers. Upon realizing a defect in design, managers might issue a line stop, which halts all manufacturing until the ECO is received.
Companies need to be ready to respond to shifts in consumer preferences, as well as possible unforeseen safety risks that require immediate product design changes. An ECO is a critical part of keeping product development on track and ensuring the best possible outcome. By listing the full description, analysis, cost, and impact of a change, an ECO makes it clear to all stakeholders why a change is necessary. Having an organized method of handling product changes reduces potential design, manufacturing, and inventory errors, and minimizes development delays. Following good ECO practices also makes it easy to document a full history of the changes made to a product and when they occurred. Keeping a record of product changes will also help you solve any problems that arise after your product launches.


ST. MARTIN, Mississippi - St. Martin set the tone early in its non-regional game Tuesday against George County and cruised to a 77-37 win.
The Yellowjackets, who trailed once in the game at 2-0, improved to 14-5 overall while the Rebels dropped to 9-3."It was a good win for us,"' St. Martin coach Charlie Pavlus said. "'It was a win that we needed. I thought we started fast and we shared the basketball against a very good basketball team."
The first quarter saw George County take its only lead of the game at 2-0 on a short jumper from Keith Ludgood before the Yellowjackets turned the heat up on defense with five forced turnovers and two blocked shots to take a 19-7 lead.
The first quarter saw St. Martin hit three 3-pointers - two by Ed Simpson - and score six points off layups. In comparison, Ludgood had all seven points for the Rebels.
St. Martin then forced six more turnovers in the second quarter and used a 3-pointer by Jamond Franklin and four points in transition to take a 34-17 lead at the half.
The first half saw six Yellowjackets score points with Rodrick Sikes, Franklin and Simpson each scoring nine points.
"We have always been known for a good fast break," Pavlus said. "We have always pushed the ball up the court and we did that again. I thought Jamond Franklin did a great job of advancing the ball. He attacked the rim and made things happen.
"'But the bottom line is we moved the ball and we made shots."
The third quarter was all St. Martin with Simpson scoring 10 points in a stretch of 1:44 as the Yellowjackets increased their lead from 38-22 to 48-24 with 2:51 left in the quarter. The run included a 3-pointer and a three-point play by Simpson.
Simpson then added his fourth 3-pointer of the game at the 1:29 mark of the third quarter to push St. Martin's lead to 53-25.
St. Martin outscored George County 19-8 in the third quarter to take a 59-25 lead before Pavlus pulled his starters.
Through three quarters, St. Martin
forced 17 turnovers, recorded four blocked shots to go with 21 assists and
27 points in transition.
Simpson led St. Martin with 21 points followed by Sikes with 11.
Ludgood, who had seven points early in the game, finished with nine.

The Magic Of Maximizing Multi Car Insurance Savings And Discounts
For good drivers, multi car insurance policies present a way to lower premiums as much as 25% or greater. The car insurance industry is a highly competitive business, and providing discounted numbers in car insurance rate quotes is one of the better ways to attract new customers. As a consumer, it is best that you understand that any offer to discount your multi car insurance policy means the company wants your business and is willing to go the extra mile to get it.
Just about every car insurer has multi car discounts for good drivers. In some cases, insuring two cars costs about the same as obtaining coverage for one car. And there’s this oddity–sometimes insuring just one car can be more expensive than putting two cars on the same policy. As one might expect, the kind of car being insured has much to do with getting a good car insurance rate quote. Expect one Mercedes Benz to have a premium comparable to, or higher than, two Fords.
It stands to reason that if two cars warrant a discounted insurance premium, more cars should garner even more cost reductions. Insuring multiple cars with a single company can add up to really nice savings over time.
There are some other items that can further reduce your car insurance. People who enroll in and complete a defensive driving course can qualify for premium discounts, for example. Car insurance companies are pleased to offer discounts for this particular item because it gives them the opportunity to help insure drivers at least have an idea about what to expect on the open road.
Auto insurance companies appreciate steady customers. If you have been with a company for several years, find out what your auto insurance company is willing to offer for your continued business. Should you not like your insurer’s response, don’t hesitate to explore other options. You may find that even though you’re signing on as a new client, the fact that you’ve been a loyal customer for an extended time will work in your favor and prompt the new company to be more generous regarding discounts.
If you make any safety additions to your vehicles, immediately inform your insurance company. Safety enhancing initiatives on your part resonate well with auto insurers. It means that they aren’t totally responsible for your personal safety–you’re interested in the same thing.
A good student discount isn’t hard to earn, and shouldn’t be. Good grades and the ability to stay out of trouble earns discounted premiums with most insurance firms. This good will can last all the way through college.

5 Street Style Trends to Take Away from NYFW
There's no doubt that the fashion masterpieces we see on the runway are what make New York Fashion Week - it's the whole point after all. It sets the tone for seasons to come, and seeing the designers display their work is like nothing else. But one additional aspect of fashion month that always inspires me is the street style worn by those involved...

On October 28, UFCW Local 832 members working at Granny’s Poultry in Blumenort were informed that an Improvement Order has been issued against Granny’s by the Workplace Safety and Health Division. The department of Safety and Health has subsequently issued a “Stop work warning” and given Granny’s a number of matters to deal with immediately or the stop work warning will become a stop work order.
UFCW Local 832 represents over 500 members working at Granny’s Poultry. UFCW Local 832 President, Jeff Traeger is pleased to have won this battle for the many employees at Granny’s.
“The health and safety committee at Granny’s Poultry along with our union representatives worked tirelessly on this complaint to make sure the company protected our members,” stated Traeger. “For too long the company ignored the health concerns and by this improvement order, will now be forced to ensure the safety of its workers.”
For years, workers have been complaining of respiratory issues and poor air quality at the poultry plant in the Turkey Evisceration Area. The health and safety committee regularly tried to investigate the problem, but management refused to cooperate. After the company continually denied the complaints, the union hired an Occupational Hygienist to investigate the issues and, along with reports of studies of poultry plants in the United States on similar issues, a complaint was made to the Provincial Health and Safety Division.
An inspection was conducted on September 26 by Workplace Health Safety. During the inspection it was found that workers were suffering symptoms including coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore and burning eyes and seeing circles of light in front of their eyes. These symptoms would go away over the course of the weekend, only to resurface during the work week.
One Granny’s employee describes what he went through while working in the evisceration department.
“I started wearing the paper mask and then had to go to a respirator because it was so hard on my lungs,” he stated. “The levels of the toxins are so bad that people are taking time off work to let their bodies heal – the company is worried about their bonuses and don’t seem to care about the safety of their employees.”
The order dated October 19, gives Granny’s until November 18 to improve the ventilation systems because workers are experiencing symptoms indicative of chloramines exposure.
“The ventilation system in the Turkey evisceration area must be evaluate and improved by a professional mechanical engineer to ensure sufficient fresh air and air circulation and to assist in diluting airborne contaminants in this area,” stated the order. “The water from the chlorine bathes is mixing with the turkey’s themselves to produce chloramines – this mixing must be reduced as much as possible to reduce airborne chloramines exposure.”
Chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia (from the turkeys) and used to disinfect water supplies. Chloramine fumes can cause an individual to become congested and cause
sneezing, sinus congestion, coughing, choking, wheezing, shortness of breath, and
asthma. The likelihood of becoming sick from a chemical increases with exposure time
and concentration. Prolonged exposure also causes skin problems, gastric and digestive issues and kidney and blood problems.
The Department of Health and Safety has ordered Granny’s Poultry in Blumenort to address a number of concerns by November 18 or they will be issued a stop work order.

Does Ellen like Pinoys? :)
Two weeks ago, she had Charice Pempengco.
Watching cable a few minutes ago, I saw Alec Mapa, who's possibly the most popular Filipino TV actor in Hollywood to date. No Pinoy has able to achieve what he's done, as far as I know and in terms of a TV career over there.

GALVESTON, Texas -- A Texas judge says his county won't follow in a neighboring county's footsteps regarding the closure of bars and restaurants.
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry says the order is "illegal," and is not something he is contemplating.
"I think this just makes things worse and causes more panic," Henry said. "(COVID 19) is serious, but this can lead to more panic and devastation for people."
His statement came after Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo ordered all bars and nightclubs shut down in order to maintain social distancing for at least 15 days. Houston is part of Harris County.
Additionally, all Harris County restaurants have been ordered to close their dining rooms and can only operate through the drive-thru and to-go orders.
"None of these decisions that we're having to make are easy decisions," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said. "They are simply not easy. Especially when you recognize that when you're making a decision, you're impacting people's livelihoods."
Coronavirus update: Illinois bars, restaurants close to dine-in customers as COVID-19 cases rise
Galveston City Manager Brian Maxwell said the city is "strongly" recommending that people do not congregate in areas with 10 or more people but has not issued such a restrictive order.
The city is also monitoring bar and restaurant attendance to see if some action is required.
He acknowledged that Harris County's decision could lead to an influx of people to the island. Galveston already has larger than expected crowds for spring break amidst COVID-19 concerns.
Maxwell said the influx of people could prove to be a two-edged sword and risk spreading the virus and the inability to track the spread.

Reform completes "challenging" Doctor Who and Me brief
Manchester agency Reform has completed the design of marketing materials for the current ‘Doctor Who and Me’ exhibition at the National Media Museum in Bradford.
The exhibition explores how the classic TV series - first broadcast 50 years ago - has inspired fans and features their artwork and memorabilia collections. It also traces how changes to media over the last 20 years have shaped and influenced fan culture.
Creative director Paul Heaton said: “It was a challenging brief because we couldn’t use any BBC photography or the official Doctor Who logo, since it wasn’t an ‘official’ Doctor Who event. So we had to be inventive.”
Reform’s creative solution incorporated an alien landscape backdrop populated with illustration cut-outs of iconic Doctor Who figures, mixed with actual objects from the exhibition.
This was used as the main image on all marketing materials, from exhibition designs to billboards and online videos and banners.
Reform also produced a style guide for the people building the exhibition.
The agency's other recent projects include branding for an elite Garden School in London and Bristol and a 150-page Asian Arts publication for Manchester University.

Give to warm and clothe young families
EUREKA Mums’ annual Giving Day will arrive next Wednesday, 16 June, asking the community to make monetary donations.
Each financial contribution will be quadrupled by some of the organisation’s major philanthropic supporters.
All funds directed to the volunteer network on the day will mean they can continue to supply clothing, nursery equipment and supplies to babies, children, teens and their families this chilly season.
The money raised will support the distribution of cots, prams, car seats and clothes, offering families warmth, safe equipment, and opportunity.
Operations manager Trinsa Lewis said the last year has been more challenging than ever for parents and carers raising young people with lockdown periods and changes to government support payments.
“Last month was the biggest month we’ve ever had, and the need is growing,” she said.
“We delivered 75 bundles of clothing; our highest numbers ever. We average about 50. It’s because of a mixture of COVID and people losing JobKeeper payments.”
Eureka Mums, and their sister organisations in St Kilda and Geelong, all saw a 31 per cent increase in families asking for help as the COVID-19 crisis hit Victoria.
“Because of the community’s generosity on Giving Day last year, we managed to continue supporting families in need throughout a global pandemic and multiple lockdowns,” Ms Lewis said.
“Donations from Giving Day this year will give us the opportunity to help more children than ever before. Every child deserves care, a safe start and a future filled with possibility.”
Over 40 per cent of Eureka Mums’ clients in the last 12 months reached out for support due to the direct economic impacts of COVID-19.
Ms Lewis said their circumstances have all been very different, but some face homelessness, unemployment, are asylum seekers, or victims of domestic violence.
Make a monetary Giving Day donation online at eurekamums.org, or donate cash to Eureka Mums directly at 15 Gray Street, Sebastopol between 9am and 2.30pm on business days from now until the afternoon of Wednesday, 16 June.


We requested 24 of our favourite minds—together with Robert Pattinson, Dua Lipa, Offset, Desus + Mero, and extra—what they’re discovering about artwork, and about themselves, on this age of isolation. See how they’re all staying inventive within the time of quarantine right here.
Uncut Gems, Josh and Benny Safdie’s jewelry-heist love letter to New York monomania, turned area of interest neighborhood legends into figures of nationwide intrigue. However Julia Fox, taking part in the hustling hottie girlfriend to Adam Sandler’s antihero “Howieeee,” emerged as a completely shaped, once-in-a-generation expertise. She is a type of people who find themselves constructed to change into film stars.
Fox’s bewitching mixture of innocence and moxie transcends the display screen. Previous to Gems, she celebrated the erotic in all its superb prospects (a highschool gig as a dominatrix; designing a beloved line of sexual knitwear; an artwork present of silk canvases streaked together with her blood referred to as “RIP Julia Fox”), whereas incomes a status as the last word New York occasion lady. And simply earlier than the pandemic, Fox—who’s 29, or 30, or 28, relying on what you learn (maybe as a result of she has a celluloid star’s grasp of origin myths)—was plotting a giant new life, shifting to Los Angeles and submitting for divorce. (“We’re pleasant, however we’re not collectively,” she says of her soon-to-be ex, Peter Artemiev. “He’s nonetheless my buddy. I’m positive he would really like it to be extra, however it’s not taking place.”) The world couldn’t wait to see what this magnetic persona would do subsequent together with her Elizabeth Taylor–stage dedication to false eyelashes and getting what she needs.
Now, she says, “that’s positively on pause. There’s nothing coming in.” However the lady who embodies the artwork of staying out and up all night time has nonetheless discovered a technique to do exactly that, roaming by means of the empty, moonlit Massive Apple. These photos seize one such eve, when Fox and greatest buddy–slash-photographer Richie Shazam logged 22,000 steps strolling the brand new, dystopian cityscape. “You’ll be able to sort of do no matter you need exterior as a result of nobody’s there,” she says, ruminating on her apparel for this specific photograph shoot.
Seeing her hometown abandoned is “actually one thing unforgettable, however I need to return to the utopia that’s Los Angeles,” says Fox, who speaks in a sort of cinematic slow-mo, turning “Los Angeles” right into a stretch of sun-drenched gravel, a sort of vocal-fried onomatopoeia.
