This audiobook was obtained from Overdrive Audio through the Alachua County Library website. It was 7 hours and 6 minutes long.
This book originally came out in 1996, but is now getting fresh attention because it has recently been made into a movie. It's the story of Chris McCandless, a 24 year old Emory University graduate who forsakes modern life to become a modern Henry David Thoreau. Without telling his family, who all believe he will be attending law school, he gives away his college fund, starts using an assumed name, and heads out west to live a life at loose ends. His travels take him to remote places, from Mexico to the Dakotas, and ultimately to the Alaskan wilderness. It is there, at life's extremities, and with no help in sight, that he comes to a miserable end.
Krakauer tells this story as only another person who enjoys extreme living can tell it. He helps you to get to know Chris McCandless by exhaustive research, including Chris' last written accounts and interviews with the people who were touched by him along the way, and through his own insight as a person who has been bewitched by the wilderness experience. You may come away admiring or pitying Chris McCandless, but you will not be able to forget him. I know that I want to see the movie when it comes out. I give this one 4 stars.

Coming in June from Dover Publications - a reprint of John Ashton's 1890 book Curious Creatures in Zoology: Illustrated Legends and Myths from Around the World.
Below is the book description from Amazon:
"Rather than a work of science, this richly illustrated volume offers fare for the imagination with its fascinatingly odd menagerie of creatures both real and imaginary. Victorian author John Ashton assembled historical accounts of everything from centaurs and unicorns to narwhals and wolves by authors such as Pliny, the ancient Roman naturalist, and Edward Topsell, a 17th century English clergyman. These credulous treatments provide abundant amusement for modern readers."

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter, actress, author and television personality. She rose to fame in 2002, after winning the first season of American Idol, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records. Clarkson's debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the country's best-selling single of 2002. It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), which debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson parted ways with Idol management and shifted to pop rock music for her second album, Breakaway (2004). After numerous top 40 radio number-one singles, such as "Since U Been Gone" and "Because of You", the album sold over 12 million copies worldwide and earned Clarkson two Grammy Awards.

Experimental dream pop musician Julia Holter talks broken pencils, Greek mythology, and words as notes before her show this Sunday.
Boston frequently loses some of the best metal shows to Worcester, but when a great bill does come through, it’s often a must-see. Case and point: this show.

Lippert Components Inc., a supplier of chassis to the manufacturers of towable RVs, will be honored by Indiana officials on Monday (Sept. 25) for the $4.5 million expansion to its plant in Goshen, Ind.
The expansion included a $2 million investment in a new powder coating operation that replaces liquid paints and eliminates volatile organic compound emissions.
The powder coating facility, which went into operation four weeks ago, is capable of producing 3,500 towable RV and manufactured home chassis per month, said Jason Lippert, executive vice president.
Indiana Lt. Gov. Joe Kernan will attend the open house on Monday at Lippert and the company also will receive the Eartha award from the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce.
Lippert, a unit of White Plains, N.Y.-based Drew Industries Inc., has been expanding rapidly because certain major towable RV manufacturers have decided to buy chassis from independent suppliers instead of assembling their own, Jason Lippert said. For example, Lippert now has chassis assembly plants near all 13 of Fleetwood’s towable assembly plants in the U.S. and Canada.
Lippert has built plants nears its customers’ facilities to reduce shipping costs.
Fleetwood, based in Riverside, Calif., is the market share leader in towable RVs.

Houses divided into bedsits in Reading will only be allowed two residents’ parking permits for the whole property in future.
And where there are planning conditions on a house-in-multiple-occupation, people living there may only be allowed a parking permit at the discretion of the council.
The rules governing the allocation of residents’ parking permits are expected to be changed on Thursday, January 14, by the Reading Borough Council traffic management committee.
The definition of “healthcare professionals” who have a right to parking permits for their work is being updated to include social workers both with the council and the NHS.
The rules for tradespeople requiring daily permits are to be relaxed slightly requiring only a letter with the details of the company and the job involved - rather than providing complicated evidence to the council as in the past.
Peripatetic teachers are to be included in the regulations for teacher permits and they will be allocated 15 permits restricted to term-time.
Rules on refunds and transfers of parking permits will also be clarified.
Rules governing visitor permits for households with residents’ parking remain the same - two free books of visitor permits plus five further books costing £110 per year.
But households without residents’ parking permits may now buy a single visitor parking permit for £120 which can be re-used for any vehicle.


It turns out the two new songs posted on Janet Jackson’s official website last week, ‘Rock With U’ and ‘LUV’ are more than ‘Discipline’ album teasers; they are being released as singles – simultaneously. Both songs are to be served to radio in the weeks ahead, with ‘Rock With U’ being the Pop single, whilst ‘LUV’ is being billed as the Urban choice of single. No word yet on the video(s).
Definitely a wise move on the part of the label or whoever called for this. Judging by the material thus far, Janet is returning to her Pop roots, yet catering to her urban audience too. I’m still kinda on the fence about ‘Rock With U’, so it’s great to know that ‘LUV’ is getting the single treatment.

Objection 1: It would seem that in hell the damned are tormented by the sole punishment of fire; because Mat. 25:41, where their condemnation is declared, mention is made of fire only, in the words: "Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire." Objection 2: Further, even as the punishment of purgatory is due to venial sin, so is the punishment of hell due to mortal sin.

College football’s greatest rivalry, known by Midwesterners as “The Game,” exceeded the expectations of many who thought Ohio State would roll through Michigan with ease. The Wolverines quickly disputed that assumption, reminding the audience that, in this rivalry, nothing comes easy. Still, Ohio State maintained their recent dominance over the Team Up North, winning their sixth consecutive game in the matchup, 31-20.
After exchanging punts to begin the game, Michigan was able to strike first on a 13-play drive. It marked the start of a rushing attack that proved problematic for the Silver Bullets. That drive ended with a Khalid Hill run up the gut for a two-yard score.
As the first quarter came to a close, Michigan’s Donovan Peoples-Jones returned a Buckeye punt for 42 yards, setting up the Wolverines’ second score, a three-yard zip from John O’Korn to Sean McKeon. Michigan led 14-0.
This time, however, Ohio State answered. On a third and four from Michigan’s 16, JT Barrett ran untouched into the end zone. A delay of game penalty reversed the score, but Barrett, undeterred, did it all over again from 21 yards out to put his team on the board.
Ohio State would keep their momentum moving on their ensuing drive, when Barrett found his tight end Marcus Baugh wide open for a 25-yard pass down the middle.
The two teams entered halftime tied at 14 apiece.
Both squads started off the second half slowly, but in the Wolverines’ second possession of the half, O’Korn managed a 43-yard completion to Kekoa Crawford on a screen pass, setting up a two-yard touchdown run by Karan Higdon to regain the lead. The extra point would then be blocked, making the score 20-14.
The subsequent possession by Ohio State marked a crucial turning point in the matchup. Barrett re-aggrivated a nagging meniscus injury on a second down carry, and had to leave the game. Redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins stepped in with his team down.
After picking up the initial first down, the Buckeyes were again faced with a critical third down. Two successive false start penalties followed. Then, Haskins made perhaps the play of the game, on a 27-yard dart to Austin Mack, surrounded by two defenders. Mack took a shot, but held onto the ball.
From there, Haskins scrambled for 22 yards, and J.K. Dobbins capped the drive off with a one-yard burst to give the Bucks their first lead of the game, 21-20.
Ohio State notched a field goal on their next drive to go up 24-20.
With Michigan threatening on Ohio State’s 39, the Buckeye defense forced a turnover on downs, and got the ball back.
However, they were not able to capitalize, as Sean Neurnberger missed a field goal wide left.
With 2:47 remaining in regulation, the Wolverines had a chance to strike.
On the first play, O’Korn overthrew his target and was picked off by Jordan Fuller.
As a result, the Buckeyes were able to put the game away, as Detroit native Mike Weber cut back and took the ball to the house in the Big House from 25-yards out to bring the score tally to 31-20, the game’s eventual final.
This season is not over for the Buckeyes, as they will take on the Big Ten West champion Wisconsin Badgers in the conference title game. The big question that remains is who will start at quarterback. With the uncertainty surrounding Barrett, Haskins could ultimately be chosen to lead his team.
If this does mark the end of Barrett’s playing career in Columbus, he can still hold his head high, as he has become the only starting quarterback in “the Game’s” history to win four pairs of golden pants (The “trophy,” given to the victors of the annual matchup.).
Ironically enough, in 2014, Barrett suffered a broken leg during “The Game,” and was replaced by then-backup Cardale Jones. The rest is history.
Saturday’s showcase did not seem all that dissimilar.

Your air conditioning system can lose as much as 10% of its gas each year. Unless it is replaced the system will become less able to keep you cool and refreshed when it needs to.
The system will continue to lose gas and become increasingly less efficient. It will also result in an increase in fuel consumption. Eventually, the system will fail requiring replacement parts.
We drain and recharge the system; check hoses, filters, belts and connections; and make sure the compressor and condenser are working correctly.
Ideally every 24 months.

Brake fluid must withstand operating temperatures of up to 230°C but over time absorbs water which boils at 100°C. As the water boils, it turns to compressible vapour which means you won't be able to brake as efficiently.
If too much moisture builds up, the brake fluid can boil while you're braking, seriously affecting performance. It can cause the brakes to fail. A spongy feel to the brake pedal shows you this has started to happen.
We check the level and look for leaks. We drain the system and fill it with new brake fluid. We test the system and record it in your service book.

Amy Poehler is one of today’s great comediennes, has paved the way for the next generation of funny women, is an SNL vet, star of hit movies like Baby Mama and is a producer of her TV show Parks and Recreation, but if I’m being honest, when meeting her, it’s hard not to focus on one thing… she’s as cute as a button. Once I got past how petite the blonde hair, big blue-eyed actress is, I discovered she is just as quick witted in person as she is on television and in movies. Answering my Breezy Mama questions including how it was working with her husband in the first episode of the New Year on Parks and Recreation, Amy also shared why life as a mom to her one year old son Archie has made Saturday Night not so “live,” and more.
So you’re a producer on [Parks and Recreation]?
Do you rule with an iron fist?
[Laughs]. Yes, I speak softly but I carry a big stick.
How was it having your husband [Will Arnett] guest star on your show?
That was so fun and I’m really excited about that episode. He’s so funny in it.
What character is he?
He plays a bad date that I’m set up on.
Do you think he’ll be back again?
I don’t know. His character is so funny and we love working together so we were lucky to get him.
How’s your baby?
Good. Thanks…. [Deadpans] But don’t refer to my husband as a baby.
Since he’s the son of two comedians, do you think [your one year old] will be funny?
[Deadpans] He’s just a big fan of French New Wave. He’s a boring intellectual.
Do you still watch Saturday Night Live?
I do. I watched it last [Saturday]. It was hilarious. Charles Barkley was hilarious. The monologue was great; Update was great; [The] show was so good. I still watch it, but now that I have a kid, I watch it at 5:30 in the morning on Sundays [laughs].
Will you make an appearance on Weekend Update at all?
I don’t think that’s planned for any time soon. We’re back to work [on Parks and Recreation], we’re not doing any more Update Specials, but I will certainly make a behind the scenes visit when I can.
Have you adjusted to normal hours now that you don’t have to be up all night [working on SNL]?
I don’t know how I did it… I really don’t.
In addition to your husband’s appearance on the show, what else can fans expect?
[There’s] a really good episode where we go to [my character] Leslie’s house and see how she lives and it’s kind of shocking [laughs].

Marsalforn / Kercem / Xaghra
(Marsa el-Forn) is a village on the north coast of Gozo, the second largest island of the Maltese archipelago.
The village lies between the hill-top towns of Xagħra and Żebbuġ. The village forms part of the locality of Żebbuġ. Marsalforn is the most popular tourist resort on Gozo. It is well served with hotels, restaurants, bars, and beaches. There is only a small sandy beach in Marsalforn, however, along the rocky coastline there are a number of interesting swimming spots.

This quick video provides a handy reference for using dry herbs when fresh herbs are not available. Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani recommends a 3 to 1 ratio of dry to fresh. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano, use just 1 teaspoon of dry oregano (3 teaspoons in a tablespoon).
When using dry herbs, make sure they still have a nice, strong aroma. If not, add them to your compost heap and treat yourself a new container of high quality herbs.
While quality dry herbs can be pricey, a little goes a long way. Buy small bottles of dry herbs rather than the big, commercial-size (big box) containers. Yes, the larger sizes seem more cost effective but, unless you're working in an industrial kitchen, you'll simply won't be able to use them while they are still aromatic.
When your recipe calls for just a few ingredients, as most pasta dishes do, makes sure you use the absolute best quality you can find. The taste of the final dish will be so much more rewarding when you do.

Following that fabulous weather over the weekend I clearly spoke too soon because the drizzle and general miserableness have now set in.
I think that no matter how grey and dismal the day, there is always colour to be found in the harbour and I love pottering about, listening to the sound of the gulls and the clanking of the many masts.
Never mind, the arrival of the electrician heralded the sign to abandon any work in the kitchen, so I decided to teach myself how to create a mosaic. Something I've been wanting to do for an absolute age and have been admiring on other blogs for just as long.
I just about managed the technique before the mains got cut off!

Candidates tie for Dover Township treasurer
Winner determined by drawing
DOVER TOWNSHIP -- The Republican candidate for the Dover Township Treasurer's position will be determined by drawing out of a hat.
According to Lake County Clerk/Register of Deeds, Patti Pacola, canvassers have determined that the primary election for the position ended with a tie vote.
The unofficial election results Tuesday night showed candidates Amanda Bailor and Crystal L. Jurik with 52 votes each.
To determine the winner, the county clerk will write the word "NOMINATED" on a slip of paper, and "NOT NOMINATED" on another, and place them in a box. Each candidate will then pull out one piece of paper.
The candidate who draws the paper saying "NOMINATED" will be declared the winner and will receive the political party's nomination to run on the ballot in the general election in November.
The defeated candidate will then have the option to petition for a recount of the vote, if she feels that a mistake was made in the canvass of the votes.
The meeting for determining the winner is scheduled for 11 a.m., Friday, Aug. 14, on the steps of the Lake County Courthouse, 800 Tenth St., Baldwin.
"Weather permitting, we will hold this meeting on the front steps of the courthouse, as the governor's executive order 2020-160 will not allow groups greater than 10 to meet inside an enclosed area," Pacola said. "In the event of rain, it will be moved to the commissioner's room inside the courthouse, and in that case, we would have to limit the number who can attend."
The meeting date will be posted to the public at least 18 hours prior to the meeting.

Eating really well before you try to conceive is probably one of the best things you can do for your fertility. Think about it this way… if you wanted to grow a plant you wouldn’t just chuck the seed into the ground and hope that it grows… you would prepare the soil, water it and make sure it had sun. If you want a healthy baby and a happy pregnancy, you have to do the groundwork and make sure your inner soil is…well… fertile!
It takes 90 days roughly to mature one egg, so giving yourself 3 months to prepare is SO important, and there’s loads you can do to optimise your body.
Here are my top 5 foods that I love including as part of a fertility diet:
Broccoli contains compounds that massively help with detoxification, making sure your hormones are within the optimal levels. They are also rich in folate and magnesium, which are seriously important for baby-making health! You can steam them as a side dish, throw them into a stir fry or even have them raw in your salad.
Packed with antioxidants, berries can help fight free radicals that can affect the quality of egg and sperm. They also contain vitamin C that helps the immune system and calms down the stress response, which is much needed in this day and age! You can chuck berries in your morning smoothie or porridge, or just have them as a snack during the day.
Wild salmon contains omega 3, which naturally calms down inflammation in the body and has also been shown to reduce certain immune markers such as TNF-alpha, which can be involved in miscarriages. Once baby is growing, omega 3 also helps to nourish its brain and can reduce the risk of you getting post-natal depression. I personally love baked salmon covered in herbs and spices.
I don’t know why egg-whites always got the glory, as the yolks are the best bits! The fat and protein are so important for building our hormones, plus they contain choline that is needed to prevent possible birth defects, as well as buffering the effects of stress from you to baby. How do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled, fried, as an omelette? Whatever it is, get them into your life!
This spice is one of my favourites; not only does it taste EPIC but it can also help regulate blood sugar levels, which is KEY for getting your fertility in check. When blood sugar is out of whack, it can affect hormones and physical stress levels so getting this sorted is my absolute first point of call when supporting fertility. It’s delicious sprinkled on oatmeal in the morning or even in a curry!
A few upgrades is all it takes to make the world of difference to your body, so experiment and see how you feel!

This blog has mutated over the years. I've grown less glib, or less articulate; more disengaged from various fizzy cyber-corners of Poetryland. I've narrowed my range, posted a lot of poems - starting with bits of the long poem Lanthanum, and lately from the current obsession, Ravenna Diagram.
These changes are certainly due in part to my getting older (I'll be 29 in 2024). Moreover, the last year has been full of changes. I'm no longer a busy little drone at work in that marvelous academic library at Brown University. I'm no longer in Providence. My father passed away in May; suddenly I'm back in my home town (Minneapolis) after a 45-year absence - back in the midst of family.
Back when, in illo tempore, when I was a swimmy sub-sub-librarian-cormorant, I came upon a good book by Jonathan Kertzer, called Poetic Argument. The argument of the Argument was that scholars had neglected an essential dimension of poetry - its logic, its argument. A good poem becomes an organic ding an sich (or however it goes), a living body, knit together on the strong bone structure of its argument - the thing it wants to say.
This is not a very popular approach these days. In fact it hasn't been since the days of the Restoration poets and critics (Pope, Johnson et al.). The Romantics, the Symbolists, & the Moderns who followed, each for their own reasons, shunned the whole notion of an apparent or explicit "argument" for a poem.
"To justify the ways of God to Man" - Milton's great Argument in Paradise Lost - was paradigmatic. Milton's ghost leapfrogged the Restoration era, hovering over Keats, Wordsworth & the other Romantics; but apparently a more basic aesthetic dictum - show, don't tell - became the rule.
Argument becomes implicit, or unnecessary. Poetry becomes a matter of unique short lyrics; the strong poet is someone with a distinct, original manner, style, voice, siren-call - transported across a variegated splendor-garden of anthology anthems. Anthems, not themes.
But there's something fuzzy and logically suspect about a poem that lacks the spine of proposition/evidence/conclusion. This is the area Kertzer explores. Unfortunately, since I read the book at least 15 years ago, and I no longer work in an academic library, I will have to leave further investigation of the details up to you, dear reader.
At this point, let's try turning the tables on me.
What, then, pray tell, is the "argument" of Ravenna Diagram - that most obscure & obliquely wayward divagation I've been imposing upon loyal perusers of this blog now for several years?
Ah, this is a hard question you pose me, Queen Sheba.
The poem had its roots in a barely-conscious impulse, not an idea. But one is naturally curious about these emotional surges, these elusive kicks from the Mare of the Night; it's like being drawn by a will o'the wisp. An obscure longing, a memory of the ancient flame... something like that? Proust's muffin...
Why did I feel this unreasonable affinity or attraction for the swamplands around neglected, very ancient churches in Ravenna, Italy? Was it seeing Antonioni's great 60s film Deserto Rosso, set in the industrial wasteland of the Ravenna coast? (Or beautiful Monica Vitti, its crazy lead?)
I'm not positive why, even after 2-3 years - but I'm beginning to see the outlines of my own argument.
First, let's remember : the Moderns too, and the Romantics - even the Symbolists - had their "arguments", their themes, their worldview. Authentic poetry is an expression of conscience, wrote Wallace Stevens (inexact quote from memory). And conscience is conscientious : the human conscience defends and articulates an idea of the truth - a sense of how things really are, and how they should be. Pound had an argument. Joyce had an argument. Eliot, Stevens, even Hart Crane had their arguments. Frost had his "lover's quarrel with the world". Marianne Moore was famously forthright in her demonstrations.
I have a hunch one reason my poem (Ravenna Diagram) is so extravagantly indirect, is because its argument is so hazardous and powerful. It's almost impossible to enunciate.
Imagine a poem so radical and earth-shaking that it requires the most extensive grounding in local & personal historical circumstances - offered as a kind of evidentiary documentation. But more than that : offered as a kind of poetic mimesis of a reality which cannot be "described" in any other way.
This sounds like mumbo-jumbo, I guess. Charles Olson in a cardigan sweater.
Let me try to sketch out or improvise a kind of diversionary illustration. One of my postulates is that poetry & literature are deeply allegorical, while at the same time historically-grounded and aesthetically-symbolic. In other words, it's not an either-or choice : the poet can do both at once. The Bible is playfully allegorical; it is also a semi-historical chronicle (or a parody of a chronicle).
So, allegory. If I imagine Dante toward the end of his life (he died age 57), in the backwaters of Ravenna - engaging (as local pedagogue & litterateur) with his compassionate patrons & students; maintaining his family; secretly plotting (through the greatest poetry ever written) his return to Florence... & trying to finish up the Paradiso... & gazing at those ancient (even then) & Bach-Beethovenish magnificent transcendent mosaics hidden in the Ravenna churches of San Vitale & Sant'Apollinare... (some scholars have attributed specific imagery in the Paradiso to these artworks)...
The argument of Ravenna Diagram is an historical-poetic argument, paralleling those of other American practitioners of the ambitious longish epic mode (Whitman, Pound, Crane, WC Williams, Olson, Zukofsky, et al.).
An historical-poetic argument, you might say, comes across these days as a sort of shamanism : anybody claiming such pompous verbal authority (in this world of science, social media & journalism) must be a real throwback.
Let's say I'm moving slowly toward making that argument. I think it's going to be a very unorthodox kind of Orthodox theorem. (One of my earliest poems points in that direction.)
The awe-inspiring mosaics hidden like pearls in the shells of old churches of Ravenna represent their own theological argument : they are excrescences from Constantinople, the 1000-year theocracy where Christos Pantocrator reigns in golden, glittering, everlasting spiritual splendor (think Yeats' Byzantium).
Maximus the Confessor is my favorite theologian, even though his anti-Jewish polemics are hateful to me, & depressing. Maximus had his limitations (this was the 5th century) : but he also loved (an intellectual love), & was philosophically astute (visionary).
He's my favorite, because his powerful dialectic comprehends and makes sense of the Orthodox theology of the Trinity. Now I realize this sounds like a very specialized, pedantic hobbyhorse. Yet the capacity to make an argument for a Trinitarian anthropology &/or metaphysics has implications, has consequences, for all the other preconceptions and postulates we happen to harbor about our own existential situation, and about reality in general.
If the Trinity is real, then the appearance of a particular human person, an individual, in the vast desert expanse of human history, has a certain spiritual meaning which otherwise would not obtain.
In other words, if God-as-Spirit became Man-as-Person, then suddenly reality-in-general has become, somehow, spiritually Personal.
Ravenna Diagram, the poem, is, in one sense, an extrapolation from Hart Crane's The Bridge. As The Bridge tried to make an argument for Cosmic Consciousness as the ultimate ground for the Platonic Beauty which inspires epic (American) poetry, so Ravenna Diagram follows the last steps of Dante toward a quasi-Dantean poetry of (American) spiritual consummation.
In my argument, such a consummation would have to be grounded in the actual historical process : thus I look toward various bridge-supports or foundational strata in order to "support" this theme.
The most basic foundation rests in mimesis, Aristotle's paradigm of poetic art. Thus I try to "mirror" (anthropologically, so to speak) my own historical vectors with the vectors of the "historical" Dante and the "historical" Roger Williams and even the "historical" Jesus : I stretch threads of affinity between these actors - each of them propounding elements of the whole argument.
What is this great argument, then? "God is Spirit, & those who worship Him must do so in spirit & in truth." (Gospel of John, roughly)
Check with Black Elk (or Manitou) on that.

Monday's Champions League draw was forced to be redone following a pair of mistakes involving the balls containing Manchester United.
Firstly, the Red Devils were drawn against Villarreal, who they were meant to be blocked from playing due to the two sides being in the same group.
United went on to be drawn against Paris Saint-Germain before a second mistake was revealed, with United not included in the draw for Atletico Madrid's opponents.
The second draw later went off without a hitch as United were drawn against Spanish champions Atletico, while PSG will now face the daunting task of a tie against Real Madrid.
Following UEFA's double mistake on Monday, here are four more of the worst football draw gaffes ever.
Drunk Tony Adams
Arsenal legend Tony Adams once conducted an FA Cup draw while drunk, according to former teammate Ray Parlour's autobiography.
Parlour recalls how Adams appeared next to Terry Venables while "swaying – shirt hanging out, trainers, a right scruff."
As for the draw, Adams mistook the number 13 ball for number 31, which was not included in the draw, before being told to take a closer look.
Far more amusing than Monday's Champions League errors, singer and Celtic fan Rod Stewart assisted with the draw for the fifth round of the Scottish Cup back in 2017.
The only issue was that, like Adams, Stewart did so while drunk, as he flamboyantly picked teams out of the hat.
After cheering when he drew Celtic, he later confused number six, Greenock Morton, with number nine, Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The draw still makes for hilarious viewing four years on.
Since becoming the Carabao Cup in 2017, the League Cup has struggled with a number of issues during its draws.
These have included teams being picked twice and technical problems causing the live streams of the draws being delayed for viewers at home.
As a result, one draw for the competition in 2019 was held in a Morrisons supermarket in London in a bizarre event.
Carabao's chief marketing officer later explained the decision by saying: “We sell lots of our great tasting low sugar energy drinks in supermarkets, so we thought why not let football fans watch the draw whilst stocking up on Carabao?”
Although a re-draw was not required, BT Sport presenter Lynsey Hipgrave did take to social media to apologise for a mistake she made during the 2017/18 FA Cup semi-final draw.
Hipgrave had wrongly claimed that Manchester United would be taking on Chelsea at Wembley for a spot in the final, instead of their actual opponents Tottenham Hotspur.
Writing on Twitter after the draw, Hipgrave said: "That's live tv, not my first mistake and certainly won't be my last. Really sorry. Just checking you were all listening."

I hope the House will reject the Amendment. The grounds set out in subsection (4) are simple and concise and cover all sorts of circumstances which should weigh with the court in regard to this matter. The hon. Member for Crosby (Mr. Graham Page) is surely forgetting that, first of all, in subsection (4) there are the words
… shall have regard to all the circumstances.…
so that the judge must have regard to a matter of this kind. Again, in subsection (4,b) there are the words
whether he has unreasonably refused an offer of a tenancy of the premises or part of the premises …
and then, in addition, subsection (4,c) says:
whether he has failed to make reasonable efforts to obtain other suitable accommodation.
The Amendment is, therefore, quite unnecessary. One can imagine a judge having in front of him evidence that the tenant has refused a proper offer of suitable accommodation and coming to the conclusion that the tenant has failed to make reasonable efforts to obtain other suitable accommodation. If the Amendment were accepted, all it would do would be to encumber subsection (4). It is quite unnecessary.

A movie based on the widely popular game “Dungeons & Dragons” is in the works at Warner Bros., the studio announced Monday, 10 months after a trial over who owned the rights to the fantasy game ended.
After months of negotiation, Warner Bros., Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment said they had come to an undisclosed arrangement, ending the 2-year-old lawsuit, and are moving forward with the feature film franchise.
David Leslie Johnson (“The Conjuring 2”) has already written the screenplay set in the “D&D” fantasy world of Forgotten Realms. Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis, Sweetpea Entertainment’s Courtney Solomon and Allan Zeman, and Roy Lee (“The Lego Movie”) are producing the high-priority project.
“This is far and away the most well-known brand in fantasy, which is the genre that drives the most passionate film followings,” said Greg Silverman, Warner Bros. president of creative development and worldwide production. “‘D&D’ has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property.”
“Dungeons & Dragons” first became popular in 1974, and has amassed millions of avid fans worldwide since then.
“We are thrilled that this beloved property can finally make its way to the big screen after 20 years, and that it can be realized by Warner Bros., which has been responsible for the biggest fantasy franchises over the past two decades,” said Solomon of Sweetpea Entertainment.
The studio is behind the “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” franchises, two of the highest-grossing movie series of all time.

I blame Carol at May Dreams Gardens for making me seed crazy so early in the season. She posted a bunch of seed starting questions that were a lot of fun for me to answer. But now I've been spending way too much time thinking about seeds. My January is usually spent leisurely browsing seed catalogs with a nice cup of hot chocolate and thinking about all the possibilities. This year all my catalogs are already worn out and I've got post-it notes stuck to most of the pages and an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I'm ordering and from who. What happened to the hot chocolate?
Since then, Carol has moved on to ask other questions, like what makes you a gardener but I'm still stuck on the seeds. Oh well, I may as well just go with it. Expect more seed related posts this week.
I recently mentioned how I'm a big fan of Gardeners Self-Watering Seed Trays. Now it's time to talk lighting for seed starting.
I'm envious of everyone with nice bright sunny window sills. My house has gigantic eaves that keep all of my southern facing windows in the shade. Sure it's great for keeping the AC bills low, but terrible for starting seeds. When I start my seeds, I am forced to go down to the basement.
To grow things in a basement you need some artificial light. Luckily for me and my budget, starting seeds need a lot less light than growing plants completely inside. All of my seedlings go outside and grow in the real sun once the weather warms up. So there's no reason for me to invest in Metal Halide or HPS Lighting solutions. Regular 4 foot shop lights are just fine for my needs.
You could do a lot of research on what kinds of bulbs to buy for your shop lights. There's natural light, cool light, white light, grow lights, aquarium lights and they all have different amounts of green wavelengths and red wavelengths and etc, etc, etc. Here's what I did and I get great results. I bought at least one full spectrum light for each shop light. Done. Full spectrum lights only cost about $5 so they won't break the bank either.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more seed shopping to do.

What is Industry 4.0, and how will it affect your company?
Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution, which changes the production and business model by connecting and building up the whole industry chain with intelligent networking, which heralds a new era of industry. The article discusses how Industry 4.0 will affect your company’s business model, production, and management.
What is Industry 4.0?
In recent years, industry experts have been talking about a new kind of industrial revolution. It has been referred to as Industry 4.0, or smart manufacturing, and some call it Digital Manufacturing. All these terms mean that machines are going to start communicating with each other in a whole new way- something that could eventually change everything from how you work to who manufactures your products. Think about UReason’s APM studio, and it connects the data of the assets to your personal space in the platform. The data is non-stop measured, and even includes historical data. The data collection set provides you with valuable insights into the lifetime of your assets. Every little event is translated to easy-to-read data about the support, to streamline manufacturing processes.
The 4.0 industry operates in manufacturing technologies, such as cloud computing, cyber security, big data and the Internet of things. These technologies can be used for business process automation, which means digital business processes are streamlined by capturing information digitally instead of having a human intervene.
How will Industry 4.0 affect your company?
There are three main areas where industry 4.0 (and its connected devices) will affect businesses: production, networking, management.
‘How will Industry 4.0 affect my business?’ Production: The intelligent factory heralds a new age of efficiency for business – but not every type of production line will benefit equally; logistics and transport companies should be excited by what’s coming their way as process optimisation takes centre stage in manufacturing facilities across industries. In contrast, car manufacturers may be concerned about job losses as robots take over from humans on assembly lines.
‘How will Industry 4.0 affect my business?’ Management: New technology means changes to operational management, particularly when it comes to data-driven decision making. Real-time information delivered by connected devices means decisions made quickly with high levels of accuracy can lead to greater control, more predictable financial results and better responsiveness to customer needs. ‘How will Industry 4.0 affect my business?’
‘How will Industry 4.0 affect my business?’ Networking: Customer access to live product information at all times via mobile devices creates an expectation that they’ll always have the most up-to-date details about products before they decide whether or not to buy them. This means consumers are more likely to compare options on price alone rather than feature sets, reducing margins for some businesses involved in commoditised markets.
‘How will Industry 4.0 affect my business?’ Overall: More automation means more minor jobs available, which could threaten consumer demand if brands cannot maintain a trusted relationship with their customers at all times. Those who quickly adapt will see significant benefits over time, while slower movers risk suffering losses if they fail to adapt.
What are the future implications of Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 is connecting the whole industry chain through software and intelligent networking. The process changes your company’s business model, its production, and management. Once companies start building up their Industry 4.0 capabilities, they can raise overall competitiveness while creating new values for end users. Enterprises should transform and upgrade their manufacturing capability and application-level before thinking about digital transformation. According to a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey, more than half of enterprises across European countries and regions have begun initiatives toward transforming manufacturing operations using IT technology; they predict that more than half of all manufacturing activities could be automated within 10 years. Those who do not begin taking action now may lose opportunities down the road because digital technologies are changing too quickly. In addition, businesses need skilled workers, so it is time to train employees on related technologies and help them keep abreast of developments in relevant fields. This includes automation engineers whose job scope ranges from machine design to logistics planning—they must also study business applications of digitised data analysis tools and devise ways to use them effectively.
Level up with UReason
Which level is your organisation on in the Predictive Maintenance Maturity Matrix?
To get the most out of Predictive Maintenance, your organisation should be on at least level 4. This is the area where there is enough data available for our APM software to derive the most accurate and reliable predictions about the performance of your assets through machine learning and data analytics.
From Predictive to Prescriptive
As the leader in the field of next-generation asset performance management software, we are reaching the new frontiers. And the new frontier is currently Prescriptive Maintenance, often considered the level 5 of maintenance. Here, by leveraging the power of machine learning, Internet of Things and big data analytics, our APM software can produce ever-evolving outcome-focused recommendations for operations and maintenance on top of predicting asset performance.
What is UReason's tool in industry 4.0?
With UReaon’s APM Studio; a reduction in downtimes, cost savings for unexpected breakdowns, and extended asset life are all major benefits of implementing a preventive maintenance program. Preventive maintenance keeps machines working correctly by ensuring that any problems are caught before they lead to costly downtime issues. This could result in 25% reduction of downtime of the assets. It’s important to understand though that preventive maintenance will not solve all issues with your equipment. However, when implemented successfully, Predictive Maintenance keeps machines up and running with a decrease of costly maintenance costs of 20% by preventing unexpected failures. Moreover, APM software provides companies with a real time overview of their assets lifetime which leads to longer asset life and significant reductions in machinery costs over time. Predictive maintenance can increase the durability of assets with 80%.

Hello, i would like to change my name into "Partinus"
Reason = the name "Guprei" is already taken by a famous fortnite youtuber, hence i don't want to be related in any way to him
I have been on smogon for 3 years, i played some tournaments, yet i did not write lots of posts
hoping that you will take my demand into consideration
Hey , i would like to change my name into " Rubyblood"
i don't like oro e diamanti now for severals reasons and so I would really like to take this alt I have since 3 years but it had been refused because the account had been banned, because unconsciously I did not know before we could have two accounts Voice smogtours. I would like to make a new start and take this nickname, I hope you understand my request
if not possible rubybl00d its good too. thanks
I made this account back in 2013 and then proceeded to never use it (that I can remember). I'd like to start becoming a part of this community, but I'd like to do so under the username "Wynndigo", which I use on all other platforms.
As an auxiliary request, I've never posted at all from what I can see, so is the "Formerly Name" title still necessary at that point?
Requesting my name to be changed to "Ro Ixen".
I made this account back in 2012 using my then online username, but at the time I just lurked and made no posts. I have since started using Ro Ixen as my online name on all platforms and have that name reserved on PS. I would like to be active in this community under my now standard name.
Since I never posted, and if at all possible, it would be cool to not have the "formerly" on my profile. I have read the rules and if that can't happen I do understand.
May I have my name changed to Plague von Karma? The name I use here is really, really old. I've used the name Plague von Karma on virtually every other platform since around 2015, on Discord, Twitter, Pokemon Showdown, the Smash community, you name it. It appears I have reached over 100 messages (no idea how that happened honestly, I thought I was never on here), which I believe makes me eligible? I'm happy to have the "Formerly" title on as well, of course.
Thanks in advance! It's been bothering me for ages lol
Can I get my name changed to Luf? It is the nickname that I have been known by for nearly a decade on other parts of the Internet. I also made this account with this name as a meme when I was 13, and I'd really like a username that isn't terrible. I've searched for the name using the advanced search function and followed the instructions, and the username is available.
Edit: Many thanks for the username change. oki--tdp
I would like to have the username "adrift" disabled on showdown to make it my own. its an old account and im positive no one is using it so if ya could help me out here it would be very much appreciated.
new name: termi
reason: i identify as female now so it seems like a bad move to continue calling myself "Robert Alfons." i already use my new username on most parts of the internet so for the sake of consistency it makes sense
new name: pokemonishard
reason: Made this account a long time ago. Lot of people knew me by pokemonishard before I quit competitive mons a long time ago. Been interested in competitive scene again and thats the name I have on showdown as well. Appreciate if the name can be changed. Also, if possible since i've never posted can you not put the "formerly" on my profile. If not I understand. Thanks for the consideration.
new name: Monika
I originally used LandoLando as my name since it was an inside joke with some mates but it hasn't lasted as well as I thought it would. Also everyone I know on discord and pretty much every other site/app I'm on knows me as Monika. Plus, Lando isn't even here anymore, so it just seems kind of irrelevant. Thanks if you do decide to change it.
Eien: hey sorry you need 100 posts to get a name change
Humbly requesting a name change to fvfrythfng, I believe I meet the requirements set in OP given the account is over 7 years old and I have fewer than 10 posts; recently come back to mons for SwSh and have started making the occasional post instead of just lurking from time to time. I already possess the handle on Showdown. Thank you in advance for reading.
New name: Bread Sandwich
Reason: I hate the name anythinggoeslegend and no one ever calls me that they just abbreviate it to agl, recently I have been making lots of pokemon showdown alts with the name bread sandwich in it so I think it would help people easily recognize me for tournaments and stuff

If you were in my town today, You’d think that Simon Bar Sinister had finally put his dreaded weather machine back together and had discovered that Underdog was in town!
I have lived in Ocean County, NJ for years and our weather has always been rainy or sunny or wind off the ocean or wind from the west, maybe a little hot or maybe a little cold…but lately it’s been hurricanes and earthquakes and tropical storms and hail and high water!
And today at 10Am it was as black as night outside and we have been under a tornado warning for the past 45 minutes…a tornado warning! At the beach!
We have run afoul of Mother Nature and there is no denying it…whether (or weather) all you climate change deniers out there want to believe it or not…it’s happening.
And for the rest of this day I would not at all be surprised if meatballs fall out of the sky and land on my plate of spaghetti…and I’m not even taking the spaghetti outside!
If you need me today, I’ll be down in the basement and under the work bench with the cats. From now on I’m taking all of my global warming cues from them.

Celebrity Big Brother housemates Jasmine Waltz and Liz Jones clashed over last night's face-to-face nominations.
Jasmine accused Liz of being insensitive after the journalist claimed that her housemate's beauty made her want to "kill" herself.
"My second nomination is Jasmine," Liz said. "I look at her and I literally want to kill myself because she's just so beautiful. It's not good for me to be around her with all my self-esteem issues."
Jasmine instantly asked Liz to reword her comments, saying: "You know, my father committed suicide, so maybe you can use a different choice of words."
Liz replied that she "really really [meant] that", prompting Jasmine to describe her as "f**king insensitive".
However, Liz later realised what she had said during a conversation with Linda and apologised to Jasmine for her use of language.
The duo both face eviction on Wednesday along with Jim Davidson and Luisa Zissman.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.

Lasers to remove excess hair have never been more versatile. Today’s laser hair removal, when safely administered by Dr. Bengelsdorf and his team, is also comfortable, effective, and fast.
The old way
Waxing can burn and plucking can irritate skin. Creams may be smelly and messy. For all that pain and hassle, results only last one to three weeks on average. Some may need to shave twice a day. These methods add up to a lot of money and time on products that don’t produce lasting results.
A note on the root of the problem
Genes may be to blame, but if excess hair is new or if it grows in an unusual pattern, you may have an underlying health problem.
Is more hair accompanied by irregular periods and unexplained weight gain? Hormonal imbalances and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome can produce these symptoms.
Medications to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, severe psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis have been linked to increased body hair.
A Board-certified surgeon, Dr. Steven Bengelsdorf is equipped to discuss medical and medication related factors to optimize the effectiveness of treatment and minimize risks.
Recommended hormonal treatments may be used in conjunction with the preferred hair removal option: lasers.
A new and improved way
Under the guidance of Dr. Bengelsdorf, Franklin Skin & Laser’s onsite physician, a licensed female clinician will apply a beam of highly concentrated light using a medical-grade laser.
Lasers traditionally worked best to remove dark hair on light-skinned clients. Now lasers may be matched to the client’s complexion and hair color, thickness, and location. Unwanted side effects such as skin discoloration are diminished among clients with richly pigmented skin.
Light from these lasers targets hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin untouched. Since many hairs are treated quickly with one pulse, small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in a matter of minutes. Larger areas such as the legs and back usually take no longer than 60 minutes.
Over the couple weeks, treated hairs will fall out. Most patients will no longer see hair within six to eight months.
A better long lasting option
Although electrolysis is effective in removing hair long lasting, because follicles must be treated one at a time drawbacks include:
- Sessions must be scheduled weekly
- May take years to see long lasting results
- Unlike lasers, this procedure is known to be quite painful
- Since follicles must be treated repeatedly, pores may appear long lasting disfigured
Call (615) 595-8177 to schedule a free consultation. Dr. Bengelsdorf and his team look forward to discussing how to remove unwanted hair efficiently in Franklin TN with you.
- Procedure of Laser Hair Removal Franklin TN – Free yourself from burden of razors or waxing with the laser hair removal procedure in Franklin TN

Being an artist has never been a choice for Madeline Johns; it’s her only option. For as long as she can remember, she has been creating.
“I know that’s kind of the basic answer, but I feel like this is what I’m meant to do,” Johns said.
One night when she was 10 years old tucked neatly in bed, fast asleep, she jolted awake. The urge to draw had overtaken her in her sleep.
She got out of bed and fumbled for a pencil and sheet of paper. Johns’ mind would not stop racing until she sketched the idea swirling around her head. As the drawing in her mind became a reality, something stirred inside her. She had never felt such joy before.
Despite the drawing just being a silly cartoon character, this experience sparked a fire within Johns that had yet to have been put out. It was in that moment she knew creating characters was her calling. Young Johns wasn’t quite sure what that meant yet, but she would in a few years.
During the summer of 2018, Johns’ Instagram account was beginning to gain traction. She had roughly 600 followers at that time.
Johns got to this point by interacting with other accounts. She was inspired by them. Johns often gave her art as “gifts” to her favorite Instagram artists. She drew their characters in different outfits or comical situations because she genuinely loved the people these artists created. The artists often shared the “gifts” drawn by Johns’ on their Instagram stories. Then, people who liked her art style would follow her account.
The idea of growing a social media presence never even crossed Johns’ mind. Instagram was just a place to share her original characters and fan art with others.
Miette Mckane, Johns’ best friend, was scrolling through Instagram’s “Explore” Page when she noticed a piece of art that looked familiar. It was a comic based off the popular Cartoon Network series, “Steven Universe.” Mckane swore it was drawn by Johns, but it had been posted on a different account. She immediately sent a screenshot to Johns.
The account that reposted Johns’ “Steven Universe” art had a large following. After asking to be credited, her account’s traffic skyrocketed.
“Annoying as it was, my art was the most liked post on their page. It got around 36,000 likes,” Johns said.
In the span of three months, her follower count quadrupled. Johns couldn’t have imagined her art resonating with the amount of people it does now. At one point she was gaining 100 followers each day. Turns out, having her art stolen wasn’t so bad after all.
A close friend of Johns’, Andrea Smith, believes that Johns’ popularity stems from the uniqueness of her content.
Johns draws original characters with intricate backstories. She also dabbles in drawing characters from a variety of TV shows. What makes Johns unique is she sometimes allows her original characters to become part of the worlds created by other people.
Persephone Adom, one of Johns’ most popular characters, is the love interest of Jack Spicer from the 2003 cartoon “Xiaolin Showdown.” Their relationship isn’t officially a part of the series, but it is something Johns’ followers enjoy seeing.
Her followers comment on everything she posts. They send questions about her characters’ lives and Johns’ art style. There is no denying that the people who follow “coseamic” on Instagram are invested in the content she creates.
“It’s a little bit overwhelming, but I’m really grateful for my followers,” Johns said.
Another reason Johns’ has been successful on Instagram is the connection she has with her followers. She answers their questions, replies to as many comments as possible and posts fan art drawn by them on her Instagram story.
Johns even receives messages from followers who are inspired by her art. They see the content she is creating and want to make art of their own.
“I’m happy to inspire people. Just to be recognized for that feels good,” Johns said.
She has been inspiring people years before gaining a significant Instagram following, but this was unknown to her.
During middle school, Johns took an art class outside of school. Mckane was taking the same art class, but at a separate time.
“Just by seeing her art, I was interested in her,” Mckane said.
Mckane spotted a drawing so compelling she had to know the artist; it was her only option.
After class, she approached the teacher to find out whose piece it was. The two have been inseparable ever since.
“Madeline is honestly the only reason that I still draw,” Mckane said.
Without realizing it, Johns is what her favorite artists used to be to her. Her account has become a place that inspires young artists and serves as a gateway for them to gain followers.
Johns hopes to work in animation after graduating ULM’s art program, but her dreams don’t stop there.
“I would also love to work on a graphic novel or web comic,” Johns said.

Dr. Nir Menachemi, chair of the health policy and
management department at Indiana University’s
Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health.
There is one clue that speaks volumes about your health prospects but has nothing to do with your medical records.
“We know now that one of the greatest predictors of health outcomes for almost any patient, undergoing any procedure, or with almost any disease, is one value on a patient’s chart,” says Dr. Nir Menachemi, chair of the health policy and management department at Indiana University’s Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health. “And that value isn’t medical. It’s their ZIP code. You can tell with extreme accuracy how someone is going to fare, after a procedure, by their ZIP code.”
Where a person lives is critical because health is shaped by factors outside the scope of traditional medical interventions and advice.
“In this country, we tend to medicalize health-care issues,” Menachemi says. “If someone is having a health issue, we automatically assume the medical system can fix it. A lot of organizations are now beginning to realize that many health issues are not necessarily problems that can be addressed through medical care alone. They’re bigger issues in the communities where people live.”
Menachemi is participating in a study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that aims to help medical professionals and institutions make better use of that data. The project, which draws on the resources of The Polis Center, the Regenestrief Institute, and the Richard M.
Fairbanks School of Health, is testing a tool that predicts what kind of care might best serve a patient. To do so, it uses an algorithm that incorporates medical records as well as neighborhood-level data from the SAVI Community Information System supplied by Polis.
“We’re taking data about the neighborhood where patients live and seeing if we can predict who’s at risk for needing some of these social services,” Menachemi says. Services include nutritionists, financial and legal advisers, and mental health professionals. “The medical way of thinking about a problem is, if the patient isn’t doing well after a couple of visits, figure out the next medical intervention. Whereas, if you deploy a nutritionist to take them grocery shopping, and better educate the family on how to stretch the buck to incorporate healthy eating into the family’s lifestyle, maybe you’ll actually put a dent in the ability of the family to manage diabetes, for example.”The tool has been in the pilot stages and will soon be implemented in the 10 health clinics maintained by Eskenazi Health.
“This is absolutely at the cutting edge,” Menachemi says of the collaboration. “It’s almost like this perfect marriage of forces— all of us on the same team, trying to figure out how to lead the nation in improving quality and reducing costs in health care.”
The Summer 2017 issue of SAVI Online Magazine covers the influence of location on health. We will share with you highlights from four projects that incorporate statistics from the SAVI community information system. In each instance, data guide program and policy decisions that will have a significant impact on the health of a community’s residents and population health in general.
- Parkview Health System collaborated with The Polis Center and IU’s Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, acting jointly as the Indiana Partnership for Healthy Communities, to identify the top health concerns in Fort Wayne and the surrounding counties.
- The IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health is testing a tool that integrates medical records and neighborhood-level data to predict the best type of treatment for a patient.
- Students in public health are using SAVI in their research to more completely understand and identify the socioeconomic determinants of health.
- The report, Unequal Access: Tobacco Retail in the Indianapolis Metro Area reveals that tobacco is more readily available for purchase in areas that already struggle with quality-of-life issues.
The SAVI Community Information System allows one to focus on a particular geography and look at a health challenge in relationship to other factors, including financial stability, education, health, and culture, among others. It also allows one to see across a larger community such as a county where a health concern is concentrated and what other challenges the population in those areas face. Armed with this information, organizations and decision makers can develop a targeted solution to increase successful intervention rates.
Did you know?
- In 2016, the smoking rates of the five healthiest states ranged from 9.1-13.8%. Indiana ranks 39th with a smoking rate of 20.6%; Marion County’s smoking rate is 21.8%.
- Maternal smoking is nearly twice as high in high tobacco access areas.
- Tobacco costs Indiana $6 billion annually in health care costs and lost productivity.
Join The Polis Center at IUPUI on Thursday, June 29, 2017, 7:45-10:00 a.m. at WFYI, 1630 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46202 for SAVI Talks!
Be the first to hear the findings from the report, Unequal Access: Tobacco Retail in the Indianapolis Metro Area, a companion piece to the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health’s September 2016 Report on the Tobacco Epidemic in Marion County and Indiana!
Retail access to various smoking products is an important consideration when discussing community action to improve a community’s health. Studies show that tobacco outlet density and proximity are linked to tobacco use–particularly in poor areas. We used socioeconomic data culled from the SAVI community information system to examine the density and proximity of tobacco outlets relative to vulnerable communities in Marion County.
Karen Comer, Director of Collaborative Research and Health Geoinformatics, The Polis Center, will present findings from the SAVI analysis of retail access in Indianapolis. Panelists for the discussion include:
- Virginia A. Caine, MD, Director, Marion County Public Health Department
- Claire Fiddian-Green, President and CEO, Fairbanks Foundation
- Paul K. Halverson, DrPH, FACHE, Professor and Founding Dean, IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health
- Bryan Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer, Community Health Network
Carmel Wroth, Managing Editor, WFYI’s Side Effects Public Media, will moderate.
Sponsored by the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation in partnership with the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, The Polis Center at IUPUI, the IUPUI School of Liberal Arts, IUPUI, and WFYI.
