With all the legislative deadlines completed, and all the bills signed or vetoed, we can now take a look at the 2021 legislative session by the numbers. Just more than 800 bills reached the Governor’s desk, including close to 700 bills that were passed in the final month of the legislative session.
2,421 bills were introduced in 2021. 828 bills were introduced in the State Senate, 1,593 came from the Assembly. In total, 836 bills made it to the desk of Governor Gavin Newsom, roughly 34.5% of the total number of bills introduced. 32% of the bills introduced were signed into law, and 3% of all bills introduced were vetoed.
Governor Newsom signed 770 of the 836 bills that reached his desk, good for a 92.1% signature rate. 66 bills were vetoed, meaning 7.9% of the bills reaching the governor’s desk got vetoed.
Of the 770 bills that were signed into law, 66% were Assembly Bills, 34% were Senate Bills. Of the Assembly Bills that were signed into law, 75% were authored by Democrats, 11.5% were authored by Republicans, and the remaining 13.5% were either committee bills or authored by the independent legislator. 76% of the Senate Bills that became law were authored by Democrats, 8.5% were authored by Republicans, and 15.5% were committee bills.
Of the 66 vetoed bills, 68% were AB’s and 32% were SB’s. Of the AB’s that were vetoed, 91% were written by Democrats, 4% by Republicans, and the remaining 5% came from committees or the independent legislator. As far as SB’s are concerned, 86% were authored by Democrats and 14% were written by Republicans.
Governor Newsom’s 7.9% veto rate this year is down from the 13% of bills he vetoed last year, when the length of the legislative session and the number of bills was cut down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both are lower rates than the 16.5% of bills he vetoed in his first year.
By comparison, Governor Brown in his second stint as Governor received between 850 and 1,250 bills annually. He vetoed a low of 10% and a high of 15% of those bills. His predecessor, Governor Schwarzenegger received between 900 and 1.250 in his seven years as governor. He vetoed between 22% and 35%. In Governor Gray Davis’s five years, he received between 950 and 1,450 bills, vetoing a low of 6% and a high of 25% of the bills. Before him, Governor Pete Wilson received between 1,050 and 1,700 bills and vetoed between 8% and 24% of bills.

Northern Broadcast Media Owners Association says no fewer than 14 persons are killed in the North on a daily basis.
NBMOA also disclosed that 8,372 people lost their lives to security challenges in 2021 in the region.
It also disclosed that there are 10.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria while one-third of the country’s children are already out of school.
The association added that the country currently has 2.7 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), the highest in the African continent.
NBMOA Acting Chairman, Alh. Abdullahi Yelwa, who disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, expressed regrets that between 2018 and 2020, an average of 21.4 per cent of the Nigerian population experienced hunger.
But Yelwa disclosed that NBMOA had extended invitation to all aspirants seeking political offices in all the political parties to present clear policy prescriptions for the remediation of the challenges facing the nation.
According to him, “As part of the agenda-setting responsibilities of the media, therefore, we invite all political leaders, especially aspirants or candidates seeking political office to come up with clear policy prescriptions for the remediation of the challenges facing our nation.
“Here in the North, we are daily confronted by a unique set of existential challenges. The scourge of banditry, terrorism, Internally Displaced Persons, (IDPs), drug abuse, rural poverty, out-of-school children, youth unemployment, begging and the threat of hunger, have become epidemics that have defied solutions.
“These are the issues that should therefore be at the centre of political discussion. The attention of any political leader seeking the votes of the northern electorates should therefore be focused on these issues. For the purpose of clarity, let’s review some depressing statistics:
Yelwa added, “A data consulting firm had revealed that no fewer than 8,372 people lost their lives to security challenges in 2021. Today, an average of 14 people are killed every day.
“Between 2018 and 2020, an average of 21.4 per cent of the Nigerian population experienced hunger. The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes (UNODC), revealed that 14.4 Percent of Nigerians engage in drug abuse, higher than the global average of 11 Percent.
“There are 10.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria. One-third of Nigerian children are out of school. 1 in 5 out of school children in the World are Nigerians. The youth unemployment rate in Nigeria is 17.69 Percent in 2019.
“Nigeria has 2.7 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), the highest in Africa. The North is at the centre of these scourges and the most affected.”

Better diagnosis methods can reduce the risk of complications, at the same time as it cuts costs and reduces human suffering. Vinnova, Sweden's governmental innovation agency, acknowledges the potential in Pernilla Abrahamsson's unique microdialysis technique, which opens the door to faster, easier, and more accurate diagnostics of severely ill patients. This is why Vinnova has selected Pernilla's project, as one of 10 among a total of 48 applications, to gain VINN-verifiering financing. This means that the microdialysis project is granted financing for the first in a series of milestones. If the project reaches all future milestones, the project will be able to receive a total of 2 million SEK from Vinnova.

The development of new treatments for pancreatic cancer is set to be transformed by a network of clinical trials, aiming to find the right trial for the right patient, after a £10 million investment from Cancer Research UK.
The investment will support the PRECISION Panc project which aims to develop personalised treatments for pancreatic cancer patients, improving the options and outcomes for a disease where survival rates have remained stubbornly low.
The work is being jointly led by researchers from the Cancer Research UK/Medical Research Council Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology, the University of Glasgow, the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute, the Cancer Research UK Glasgow Clinical Trials Unit, the University of Manchester, the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, the Institute for Cancer Research, and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. The Oxford team will be investigating the potential role of radiotherapy in personalised therapy.
The researchers will use the molecular profile of each individual cancer to offer patients and their doctor a menu of trials that might benefit them.
The first wave of research will establish the best way to collect and profile patient tissue samples. Each patient will have up to five samples taken from their tumour at diagnosis for analysis at the University of Glasgow.
The results will guide clinical trial options in the future.
The three trials planned as part of this initiative will recruit a total of 658 patients from a number of centres across the UK – with the scope to add more trials in the future. Patients may also be helped onto suitable clinical trials that are already up and running.
The programme will ensure discoveries from the lab rapidly reach patients, and that data from clinical trials feed back into research of the disease.
Cancer Research UK’s investment will support two of the three clinical trials, preclinical work, assay development, biomarker work and the huge amount of molecular sequencing.
The charity’s funding will also provide overarching support though project management, funding staff, and a steering committee.
Dr Ian Walker, Cancer Research UK’s director of clinical research, said: ‘This ambitious project marks a new era for pancreatic cancer. Little progress has been made in outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients over the last 40 years, and we believe that PRECISION Panc will reshape how we approach treatment development.
‘Cancer Research UK is determined to streamline research, to find the right clinical trial for all pancreatic cancer patients and to ensure laboratory discoveries have patient benefit.’

It looks like Street Fighter V sales failed to beat its 2009 predecessor in terms of first week sell-through numbers. According to a new report from GFK Chart UK, Street Fighter IV “remains the benchmark in terms of week 1 sell-through.”
Unfortunately, the report didn’t mention exact sales numbers. Street Fighter V released on PS4 and PC recently and is indeed a decent game. However, Street Fighter IV was a much more popular title.
Back in late 2015, Rise of the Tomb Raider released and its first week sales were rather disappointing. But sales picked up in the coming months and the game sold one million units by the end of the year.
Earlier sales were impacted by Fallout 4 and other major releases, but when it comes to Street Fighter V sales, we don’t know why sales aren’t as good as expected. There were no major releases alongside it.
No other Call of Duty title has claimed this many No1’s on the All Formats Chart, previous record being ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ back in 2009 with 9 No1’s (although all 9 were consecutive). The all-time record remains ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ with 18 weeks All Format No1’s back in 2000 & 2001 (published back then by Eidos).
Debuting at No2 is a first Gen 8 outing for a game series that has been around since the late 80’s: Capcom’s ‘Street Fighter V’ launches on PS4 and PC. The previous version of this series ‘Street Fighter IV’ debuted back in 2009 on 360/PS3/PC and remains the benchmark in terms of week 1 sell-through.
These sales are for UK only and it is to be noted that Street Fighter V sales were good enough to hold it steady at number 2 spot.
Also, Street Fighter IV released on Xbox 360 as well. Meanwhile, V is a PS4 and PC exclusive.

Android is the mobile OS (operating system) which developed by a Silicon Valley company by the name of Android Inc.
The collaboration spearheaded by Google in 2007 through the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) gave Android the edge in delivering a complete software set, which includes the main Operating System, middleware & specific mobile application, or app.
Patterned after the Linux kernel, the Android OS also was released as open source code. Development for the Android may be done through Linux, Windows, or Mac. Although primarily written in Java, there is no JDM (Java Development Machine) in the platform.
Instead of allowing the Java programs to run through the JDM, Google developed Dalvik, a virtual machine specifically designed for the Android. Dalvik runs recompiled Java code & reads it as Dalvik bytecode & was designed to optimize battery power & maintain functionality in an environment with limited memory & CPU power, such as that of mobile phones, netbooks & tablet PCs.
One of the Android’s selling points is an ability to break down the application boundaries. Another advantage is that it can easily develop, not to mention its speed of app development. A large community of developers continuously devises & designs apps that enhance the capability of devices. These apps are then made available worldwide through Android Market Google’s, or other third-party sites.
The Android software itself is developed in the conjunction with Google, who releases major updates to the Android platform every year. Manufacturers which run Android on their phones include Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Sony, HTC, LG & many others; it’s currently operational on more than one billion of devices.
Where does from the Android OS come?
Android comes from Google, who actually acquired Android in 2005 (no, Google did not invent it). The search giant performs regular updates along with the annual major update.
The operating system is based on the Linux kernel, if your friends work in IT, you may have heard of it. This is the Linux / GNU operating system based structure, which is a Unix type system (portable operating system, multitasking & multi-user). The Linux kernel is one of the most prominent examples of software’s (free of cost).
Why Android looks different on each phone?
Android doesn’t look different on all devices, but it does have a number of different versions. Android is the open-source, which means that manufacturers are free to customize the software & make it their own.
The ‘purest’ version of Android is often referred to as ‘stock Android’ & it’s often preferred by the Android community: it’s the original software as the Google intended. Other UI (user interfaces) include Samsung’s TouchWiz, Huawei’s & Sony’s Xperia’s Emotion.
What are the advantages of Android OS?
For example, if you want iOS (iPhone Operating System), you have a choice of iPhone, iPhone or iPhone. If you go for Android there are stacks of the great devices to choose from, from cheap & cheerful handsets to really impressive flagships. Those flagships are often cheaper than the equivalent all Apple devices, too.
Android’s choice is not just about hardware. It’s also about everything else. Android is incredibly easy to customize, both in the terms of how it looks & how it works, & the various app stores aren’t as tightly controlled as its rivals’ stores, like Apple.
Which is best thing about Android OS?
Options, a lot of options. With Android you have hundreds of gadgets at your cheapest, the disposal, the most expensive & innovative market. Android is also incredibly to customizable, both in their roles, as in his appearance. You can really make the unique mobile experience for yourself with this OS.

Music and Fine arts in the Field of Mental Health
The Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP) and Krishnapur Nazrul Charcha Kendra, Kolkata have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the usage of music and fine arts in the field of mental health and behavioural sciences.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed in the presence of Dr. Avinash Sharma, Associate Professor (Psychiatry) and Administrative Officer,
Central Institute of Psychiatry, Dr. Dipanjan Bhattacharjee, Associate Professor and In-charge (Department of Psychiatric Social Work), Dr. Prasad Kannekanti, Assistant Professor (Department of Psychiatric Social Work), Smt. Somerita Mallik, President, Krishnapur Nazrul Charcha Kendra & President, Chhayanat-Kolkata and Mr.Hariom Pachori, Biostatistician, Central Institute of Psychiatry,
The basic objective of this memorandum of understanding is to carry out activities like the development of awareness about various facets of mental health and well-being and increase adjunctive use of art, music, and other relevant forms of fine arts in the promotion of positive mental health and wellness in common people as well as people with psychological issues.
The clinical use of music varies from recreational use to what is known as music therapy, an interpersonal therapeutic process in which music is used as a communicative medium by trained therapists to promote their clients’ mental health. Singing or playing music has been reported to influence subjective health outcomes, including anxiety and depression, positively.Singing in a choir is related to a higher self-rated quality of life and satisfaction with health.
This memorandum of understanding will be a great opportunity for people with psychological problems to learn how to use music to relieve their emotional suffering and pains. Needless to say, this initiative is definitely a nice starting of the Poet Nazrul Studies.

McConnell Center to host U.S. Sen. Tim Scott
Tim Scott, a conservative Republican U.S. senator from South Carolina, will speak Nov. 16 at the University of Louisville through the McConnell Center’s Distinguished Lecture Series. Tickets are free and required.
The free, public talk through the McConnell Center is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in Bigelow Hall, located in the Miller Information Technology Center on UofL’s Belknap Campus.
Scott, 50, was appointed in 2013 to fill a vacant Senate seat in South Carolina and regained the seat last year in a special election. He sits on four Senate committees – Commerce, Science and Transportation; Energy and Natural Resources; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
One of only two African Americans in the Senate, he is the first African American senator elected in his home state and the first senator elected in the U.S. South since 1881.
A Charleston, S.C.-native who has worked in the insurance and real estate industries, Scott favors repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act, supports a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget and is a staunch advocate of his state’s Right-to-Work laws.
From 2011 to 2013, he represented South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he sat on the House Rules Committee. Before that, he served in South Carolina’s House of Representatives and on Charleston’s county council.
The non-partisan McConnell Center, created in 1991, prepares Kentucky’s top college students to become leaders and offers civic education for teachers, students and the public. Its Distinguished Lecture Series has brought 47 high-profile leaders to UofL’s campus.

Title: Bernard And Doris
Director: Bob Balaban
Writer: Hugh Costello
Music: Alex Wurman
Cinematography: Mauricio Rubinstein
This is an HBO film, made exclusively for the small screen, TV films usually cover historical and biographic productions, this one is semi-biographic, the film encircles around the story between the tobacco billionairess Doris Duke and her gay butler Bernard Lafferty.
Director Bob Balaban is also a well-known actor, so it seems that he knows proficiently how to grapple the camera in front of his actors. The film largely depends on two leads’ performances, as the conflict and dramatic friction are subtle and the emotional pulse is liminally detectable. However the theatrical magic within is a pleasure to watch, Sarandon has not been so intensely brilliant for a rather long time and Fiennes is superb as always to release an energetic power which could dilute Sarandon’s sharp embodiment of her character’s misery and attractiveness.
During the progress of watching this film, I can easily perceive the glamour from the exquisite dialogues which are as if a duel between these two protagonists from different hierarchy, how their relationship evolves, how they realize that they are inseparable from a weird but sensible love. When love transcends race, age, class or even sexual orientation, there is always lots of humanity can intrigue us to dwell on in an endlessly labyrinthine way.

Last fall, we rode our bicycles cross-country. We began in Astoria, Ore., and against all odds reached the Atlantic Ocean in Charleston, S.C., three months later. Like all trips of this scale, ours was a twisting, unpredictable journey for which we could never have been fully prepared. That said, we could have been a lot more prepared than we were.
Sure, we hadn’t trained and we packed the night before we set out, but that’s probably the case for most other 20-somethings who head out for the Appalachian Trail or other such adventures on a whim. Still, as our moms never tire of reminding us, being in good company doesn’t make it right. So whether you’re biking cross-country, taking a weekend tour, or planning any other kind of road trip, the following 10 tips should be of help:
During most of our trip, we averaged 60 to 75 miles a day. Our total mileage for the whole ride was 3,824 (though according to MapQuest, it should have been 2,994 miles). We took 85 days to make the trip, including 24 days off. Time off the bike is a big part of the tour—don’t feel bad about slowing down.
Once you cover the startup costs—bicycling gear, camping equipment, train tickets, etc.—bicycle touring gets cheap. Sure, it may cost $1,500 to get to this point, but after that, the difference between a weekend bike trip and a three-month cross-country adventure is just the cost of food, lodging and a few inner tubes. By making it a point to cook for ourselves and not pay for camping, we kept our average down to about $9 per person per day.
3) Getting there
Although it’s tempting, bringing your bike on a plane is not a great idea. Oversize-luggage charges and the likelihood of your equipment getting damaged makes trusting the professionals at UPS a much better option.
If you don’t mind going slow (and if you’re doing a long-distance trip, you shouldn’t), another possibility is taking the train. Amtrak accepts oversize boxes (meaning you don’t have to fully disassemble your bike), and some lines even let you roll your bicycle right on board.
4) Routing around
We relied on AAA maps (free for all members), regional advice from bike shops, and local directions from gas-station attendants in determining our routes. In general, we found that roads marked “secondary route” on the map tended to be pretty good: low traffic volume, well-paved, not too windy. The Adventure Cycling Association also makes some excellent cross-country and regional route maps for those who prefer to plan ahead. Tip: In some Western states, bicycles are allowed on the interstate (a remarkably safe option due to the wide shoulders). Surf state Department of Transportation Web sites to find their respective regulations and request free maps.
5) City cycling
Whenever possible, avoid cities. The bigger the city, the more cars and trucks will be sharing the road with you. Even smaller cities, such as Asheville, can be hard to approach due to the limited access routes. You’ll probably be tempted to stop and visit some of those distant cities you’ve always wanted to see. Just be forewarned: You’ll almost certainly have to battle your way in and back out.
6) Free camping
If you don’t want to cough up $15 a night to stay at a private campground, the best place to start looking for camping advice is the local sheriff’s office. It’s great to get the folks who might kick you out of your improvised campsite back on your side of the nightstick. If you can’t find a cop, just start asking around—at the grocery store, the gas station, the bar, etc. We camped in a lot of city parks and playgrounds. Out West, we took advantage of the free camping offered on national-forest land (tents must be at least 200 feet away from paths and roads).
In a pinch, you can always try the old door-knock. Tip: If you’re approaching a stranger to ask about camping on their lawn, arrive well before dark with big smiles and a good explanation.
7) Eating out
Although we did most of our cooking in camp on a small gas stove, we also found creative ways to make hot meals during the day. While you should always ask first, gas stations and grocery stores are usually happy to share hot water from their coffeemakers—great for some quick oatmeal in the morning and ramen at lunch. Personal favorite: oatmeal with peaches and a nondairy coffee creamer. Mmmm.
Good personal hygiene and clean biking clothes are integral to a comfortable ride. We tried to do laundry at least every few days, and more often when the weather was hot and sweaty. In most cases, this meant rinsing our spare outfit with a hose outside a gas station in the morning and bungeeing the quick-drying getups to the outside of our packs. During daytime breaks, we’d spread our laundry across our handlebars. By midafternoon, everything was usually dry. Tip: If your clothes are still a bit damp by nightfall, sleep with them in your sleeping bag. Come morning, they should be good to go.
Riding a few thousand miles with someone, you realize that solid communication is important—both on and off the bike. To keep ourselves safe on the road, we developed a set of easy-to-hear signals to alert each other to potential hazards. Instead of trying to make out exactly what the other person was saying, we merely had to recognize a previously agreed-upon call meaning “pull over,” “trouble ahead,” “car behind” etc.
Interpersonal communication is also vital. The increased stresses of the road require a proportional amount of patience, thoughtfulness and willingness to talk things out. Just as with your bicycle, commit yourself to keeping your friendship in good shape. Getting closure on an argument or misunderstanding feels as good as a freshly lubed chain.
10) Getting fit
While you might be able to get away without training before your trip, it’s essential to have your bike in shape. If you’re riding a new or borrowed rig, or if you’ve never been fitted before, it’s worth the hour, $90 or so, and the trip to a local bike shop. A properly fitted bike will greatly minimize the strain on your knees, back and neck.
So there you have it—thousands of miles of experience boiled down to 10 simple nuggets (some of which you might have figured out on your own). Of course, travelers, like magicians, are always a little reluctant to reveal their deepest secrets. So you’ll just have to get out there and discover your own.

It’s “reveal day”, with ICANN set to reveal the applications for new top level domains at a press conference starting at 8 am EDT today.
This morning ICANN released overall numbers related to the program.
First, the headline number. We’ll see up to 1,409 new top level domains hit the web from this round. There were 1,930 total applications. 751 of those applications cover 230 contested domain names. That puts you at 1,409.
I should note that I believe it was John Berryhill who predicted in back in February 2010 that there would be 1,500 gTLDs.
Applications came from 60 countries. Latin America and the Caribbean applicants submitted 24 and 17 came from Africa. That means all of these will get into the first batch, so there’s no need for these applicants to work hard on digital archery. North America competition will be fierce with 911 applications. 675 came from Europe and 303 from Asia-Pacific.
1846 of the 1930 applications were designated as “community-based”. 66 applications are for geographic names. There were 116 applications for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
Stay tuned to Domain Name Wire throughout the day for complete reveal day coverage.

26 April What have you got to cry about?
How many times have you tried to open up to a friend about your dark feelings, only to be told that you need to focus on all the things you are grateful for, all the positives? Stop feeling what you are feeling, because there is always someone worse off than you?
I’m not criticising anyone. I’ve been that person too. I have such a keen sense of appreciation for everything I have in my life and I’ve trained myself over the years to look for the bright side. I’ve often found it difficult to understand the emotions of loved ones who are suffering or struggling with life, with their mental health.
I too have tried desperately to encourage them to focus on all the good they have in their lives. I thought that was throwing them a lifeline. Helping to drag them back out of that black hole. Now I know different.
Thank you Covid-19 for humbling me once again. I’ve spent so much time alone during lockdown, have become unemployed almost overnight, have so much uncertainty hanging over me right now. Initially I had a total meltdown. I’ve worked so incredibly hard and made so many sacrifices to get to this point, and I saw it all slip through my fingers so quickly. But then I accepted what was happening and set about entertaining myself during this paid holiday I was getting. Imagine how lucky I felt to get paid for not working day and night… A luxury. Self-employed people never had this support before. So I have a lot to be grateful for.
Some will be triggered by my reference to a paid holiday. Ask yourself why? I’ve merely chosen to switch my point of view, to make the most of a bad situation. Putting a brave face on it doesn’t change the fact that my business(es) came to a grinding halt and I found myself, like many others, without an income. This is my perspective, my choice of words, it has nothing to do with other people’s experience of becoming unemployed at this time, and it’s in no way meant to trivialise the financial difficulties many of us find ourselves in. If you’re triggered, why? It’s important to recognise what’s really happening.
Lockdown is not all day-drinking and having the craic. After weeks of being at home alone I became a little overwhelmed by loneliness, an emotion I never thought I’d feel, as I’m a self-confessed hermit and like hanging out at home by myself. But eventually it got too much.
At first I didn’t understand why I was feeling so sad. I paced up and down, I called friends, I cried, I slept, I did yoga, I meditated, I worked out, I got tired and couldn’t do much at all, I drank some wine, I got bored of drinking wine. Until I started crying one day and couldn’t stop crying. Sobbing inconsolably. I know this dark place, I’ve been here before. So, what’s happening and why am I feeling so stuck, why can’t I just enjoy the simple things that kept me happy for the first few weeks? Sure aren’t there so many people far worse off than me? What have I got to cry about?
I recognised that it was loneliness that I was feeling. Maybe I’m not such a hermit after all. I just have such a busy life usually, that when I get home I don’t want to see anyone, I want the peace and quiet and solitude to recharge my batteries. But living a life of solitude for weeks on end is too much.
OK, so I gave myself the time to recognise that this was loneliness trying to get my attention. It wanted to be acknowledged. So now what…
I spoke openly with loved ones about this new experience with loneliness, and was triggered when told to be grateful for everything I have, not to forget how lucky I am. Totally triggered. I have got so much to be grateful for, and very little to complain about. But does that mean my feelings are invalid?
What I really needed was just to express these emotions, to give them a name, to be heard, maybe to hear that it was ok to feel this way. It’s a valid emotion after all.
So now I understand. In the darkness you need to just be. It needs to be ok to not feel ok. Because it totally is ok.
When I allowed myself to sit with these feelings I was able to understand them more. I was able to get to the bottom of them and then accept them and figure out how to feel better. I wonder if that’s where the expression comes from – to get to the bottom of it. I was even able to acknowledge where I’ve gone a little off my path in life, what’s really important to me, and what I want to do going forward. What a gift! I got back in touch with my heart, my passion, my life plan that I had maybe put aside or been delaying while I worked on everything else that I’ve been working on these past few years.
If we are never allowed, or never allow ourselves, to get to the bottom, then how do we really listen to that internal voice and get ourselves back out of that hole? Only we can do this for ourselves, no amount of good intentions from others is going to make a damn bit of difference. How do we recognise and accept what we are really feeling. How do we take action to make change, if we don’t know what needs to be changed?
So what can we do about this?
Let’s stop pretending that we have to be ‘up’ all the time. Denying our emotions is dangerous and unhealthy. Let’s allow each other to explore our feelings without being asked to push them down, put them aside, pretend they don’t exist, or worse, be asked to believe that they are invalid altogether.
Now, I’m not saying that it’s healthy to dwell on these dark emotions either. We are not these emotions, they do not define us, they are not permanent. Feeling these dark emotions doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you, it certainly doesn’t mean you are broken (broken is a word that triggers me when used to describe people).
Having emotions is part of being human. The good, the bad and the ugly. All human, all acceptable, all healthy. What’s important is that we allow ourselves and others the space to process these emotions. And seek the help of a professional if needs be. There’s no shame in seeking help. Our friends and family members are not mental health professionals. When we need professional help we should feel comfortable seeking it. And we should all feel comfortable with our own limitations in this respect too. If you don’t know how to help, that’s ok. You don’t know what you don’t know. It’s ok to express that and state your boundaries. Encourage loved ones to seek professional guidance if listening and holding space for them is not sufficient.
I remind my yoga students often, that there isn’t really any negative emotion. We use the terms positive and negative a lot, but no emotion is really a negative one. It feels bad, yes, but it’s not negative or evil. It serves to help us understand where we have a trigger that needs to be worked on, or maybe where we need to explore and make changes. So it’s a catalyst really. The nasty side of that emotion occurs when we don’t acknowledge it, when we lash out, project, think that it’s someone else’s problem. When we acknowledge and process the emotion there’s no need to feel that it’s negative or harmful. It’s the denying of it that causes harm.
So let’s ask that question again – what have you got to cry about? And what better time than lockdown to allow yourself and your loved ones the time and space to explore the root of those tears and to process those challenging emotions.
Write, draw, chant, sing, smash all your empty wine bottles into the recycling bins to vent some of that anger! Cry if you want to cry. But don’t waste this opportunity we’ve been given. Don’t waste those tears. Go right into those emotions and ask where they are really coming from. Get to the bottom of it now, because we may never have an opportunity like this again. I certainly hope we won’t, I’m so over lockdown!
And if you need support to do this, reach out to someone.
Stay safe everyone. Look after yourselves, and look after each other.

Alabama is in New Orleans. Well, not really, but there'll be a lot more red in the city tonight as LSU and the University of Alabama play the BCS championship game. Among the people watching: Emeril Lagasse, who's cooking up tailgate grub right now at his Emeril's restaurant in the Big Easy. "I'm a little partial to LSU," he told Eat Like a Man over the phone this afternoon, "though I don't know if that's going to do any good."
He is also, unsurprisingly, partial to Gulf Coast eating. Lagasse is joining chef John Besh for the two-week-long Gulf Coast Seafood & Tourism Bash. "I've been working with some of these fishermen for years. It's good to see they're finally coming into the light." He'll be throwing their crabmeat into a jalapeno dip for customers. We've posted the recipe below so you can make it for yourself at home. If not, you might try jambalaya or, if you're representing the Crimson Tide, some extremely Southern pimento-cheese sliders; Lagasse recommends foods you can get ready ahead of time, so you can focus on the football part of the football game.
Hot Jalapeno Crab Dip
• 1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
• 1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos, grated
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
• Toasted croutons
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the crabmeat, garlic, jalapenos, Monterey Jack, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, and mayonnaise in a medium-size mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into a medium-size shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the top of the crabmeat mixture.
Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving with the croutons.
Yield: 8 appetizer servings.

13.19: Bernoulli's Principle
Bernoulli's equation incorporates how fluid pressure changes across a static, incompressible fluid by equating the kinetic energy contribution to zero. It is also helpful in analyzing horizontal flows in which the gravitational energy density is constant throughout. The latter equation is so useful that it is called Bernoulli's principle. According to Bernoulli's principle, the fluid pressure drops if the speed increases and vice versa.
Bernoulli's principle has several applications. It is used to implement a phenomenon called entrainment, wherein one fluid is used to change the pressure of a region accessible to another fluid. This pressure difference then affects the motion of the second fluid. Bernoulli's principle is also helpful in measuring the unknown speed of a fluid.
Consider a manometer, which is a tube with two openings. One opening directly opposes the fluid flow, causing it to come to rest abruptly in front of it. The other is along the fluid flow. The tube contains a liquid of known density. Since the speed of the incoming fluid is different across its ends, the pressure is also different. By applying Bernoulli's principle, it can be shown that the pressure difference is proportional to the square of the speed of the incoming fluid. This pressure difference, in turn, causes the liquid inside the manometer to have different heights on the two ends. Since the height difference is proportional to the pressure difference across the two ends, it is proportional to the square of the incoming fluid's speed. Thus, by measuring the height difference of the liquid inside the manometer, the speed of the incoming fluid is determined.

California has been producing wine for over 200 years with European vines arriving via Central America. Abundant sunshine ensures a consistent and long grape-growing season, while the diversity of its terroir supports a multitude of grape varieties and surprising flavour variation within them. California’s 800 miles of rugged coastline expose nearby vineyards to natural “air conditioning” in the form of fog and breezes, making for exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other cool climate varieties. Meanwhile, vines planted along hillsides get a fine mixture of cooling air and bright, unfiltered sun-conditions perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The coastal zones, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Monterey County and Mendocino, are responsible for the production of quality wines, while the Central Valley grows huge amounts of grapes that are largely destined for blending in everyday wines.

A 60-year-old Cambridge man was arrested after allegedly creating a Craigslist post offering to buy drinks for anyone who kills Uber drivers and cops.
James Bradford Seawell, of 4 University Road in Cambridge, was arrested at his home Sept. 12 on a warrant for the charges of threatening to commit crime and soliciting to commit crime.
Cambridge Police received an anonymous tip earlier in the day, around 8:32 a.m., regarding the post, which specifically targeted Somerville and Cambridge police.
The post reportedly read: “Let’s get something done (Somerville) Sick of Uber drivers stopping suddenly in traffic? Sick of Somerville and Cambridge cops who live in Sudbury or some other f--- place? Let’s kill them. I want to see people killing cops and Uber drivers in and around Cambridge and Somerville and I’ll buy you a drink at...” Then he allegedly listed a specific business, which was redacted from the police report.
When he was told that his warrant arrest was regarding the Craigslist post, Seawell allegedly responded, “I may have done something stupid.”


RICHMOND—Governor Ralph Northam today presented the third phase of the “Forward Virginia” plan to continue easing public health restrictions while mitigating the spread of COVID-19. The Commonwealth does not yet have a targeted date for entering Phase Three.
Ahead of his bilingual COVID-19 press conference, the Governor met with local Latino leaders and community activists in Northern Virginia to discuss the issues they are facing in fighting this virus. Latino Virginians make up 45.3 percent of the cases for which Virginia has demographic data, and 35 percent of hospitalizations—even though Hispanic and Latino people make up about 10 percent of the Commonwealth’s population.
As many states are experiencing a surge in new infections, Virginia’s case counts continue to trend downward. Virginia’s hospital bed capacity remains stable, the percentage of individuals hospitalized with a positive or pending COVID-19 test is trending downward, no hospitals are reporting PPE shortages, and the percent of positive tests continues to decline as testing increases. The Governor and Virginia public health officials will continue to evaluate data based on the key health indicators laid out in April.
“Our Phase Three guidelines will help Virginia families and businesses plan for what the next stage of easing public health restrictions will look like in our Commonwealth,” said Governor Northam. “While we may not have the same spike in infections that many states are seeing right now, Virginians need to remain cautious and do the things that we know reduce transmission: wear a face covering, maintain physical distance, and stay home if you are high-risk or experience COVID-19 symptoms. This virus is still with us, and we must continue to adapt our lives around it and ensure we are keeping our vulnerable communities safe.”
In Phase Three, the Commonwealth will maintain a Safer at Home strategy with continued recommendations for social distancing and teleworking, and the requirement that individuals wear face coverings in indoor public settings. The maximum number of individuals allowed in social gatherings will increase from 50 to 250 people. All businesses should continue to follow physical distancing guidelines, frequently clean and sanitize high contact surfaces, and keep enhanced workplace safety measures in place.
Restaurant and beverage establishments are required to maintain six feet of distance between tables, fitness centers may open indoor areas at 75 percent occupancy, and recreation and entertainment venues at may operate at 50 percent occupancy, or a maximum of 1,000 persons. Swimming pools may also expand operations to free swim in addition to indoor and outdoor exercise, diving, and swim instruction. Overnight summer camps will remain closed in Phase Three.
Phase Three guidelines for specific sectors can be found here. Phase Two guidelines are available here. Visit virginia.gov/coronavirus/forwardvirginia for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.

Similar to the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental disasters hit marginalized communities the hardest. Not just because they are more exposed to risk, but because of social vulnerabilities and inequalities that prevent them from responding to these events.
Looking ahead, the year might not be an easy one for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro; the economy, institutional chaos, corruption and an opposition that could be reorganizing itself, among other issues, will give him more than just a headache.
Climate change poses an uneven burden on the economy and future development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, not enough attention is brought to this “life or death” matter.
Greta Thunberg—the 16-year-old girl who just one year ago started a global climate movement—has spoken loud and clear about demanding action against climate change’s devastating effects. It’s now time for the adults to act and hold our leaders accountable.
Brazil and the developing world are not the only culprits on climate change. The developed world too shares the blame for CO2 output. Unfortunately, the international system lacks the capacity to address these gaps. Is it time to reconsider activism and action that doesn’t depend on states?

Expert says mechanical compaction, maintaining soil moisture key to preventing future fires
MIRI: Mechanical compaction and maintaining the moisture of the soil are key to preventing peat fires from recurring in Kuala Baram, says peat soil expert Dr Lulie Melling.
The Sarawak Tropical Peat Research Laboratory director said uncompacted and dry peat soil will burn easily, especially during the dry season and droughts.
“Based on my visit today (yesterday), I can conclude that unmanaged peat soil land can easily burn when compared to land that is being used for plantations.
“It is because land which is not managed properly (by the owner) will not have the land mechanically compacted, while land that is managed such as for oil palm plantations will have to do mechanical compaction and have its own water management,” she said in an interview after a visit to Kuala Baram, here yesterday.
Lulie opined that an effective method to prevent recurrence of peat soil fires is to compact the land using excavators to consolidate the soil.
She pointed out that by consolidating the soil, it will increase the soil bulk density and increase the moisture-holding capacity of the soil.
“The moisture content of the peat soil is increased via a better capillary rise of the soil. At the same time, it will moisten the peat to prevent the occurrence of fire,” she said.
She also suggested that unmanaged land be compacted and used to plant crops such as pineapples.
There are about 8,000 hectares of unmanaged land in Kuala Baram.
Meanwhile, Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) Miri senior officer Ahmad Nizam Sapaiee, who accompanied Lulie to the site, said the input from Lulie will be discussed in the next disaster management committee meeting.
“We (Bomba) will examine the tactical and technical aspect of our operation so that efforts to fight fires on peat soil land are more effective,” he said.
The forest and peat soil fires in Kuala Baram have destroyed over 1,280 hectares of land since Aug 1.


Questions about the Friends of Hue Switch
Which frames can I use?
We are currently working on a list of compatible frames.. Since we use parts of the GIRA E2 /System 55 Series for our frames, the compatibility with most GIRA System 55 parts is given. But we can't guarantee anything when it comes to third-party frames. The only confirmed frames are the Berker S1 and Jung Series A550. The Friends of Hue Switches have total dimensions of 81x81x17mm and the inside measurements of the frame are 55x55mm.
Which Rockers can I use?
While you can use a variety of frames with the right measurements, you will not be able to use all the different rockers. Due to the built-in EnOcean modules, you will only be able to use the specialized rockers. For spare parts look at “ Where can I buy spare parts?”
Is the single rocker included?
The single rocker is included in the packaging. You will be able to replace the double rockers with a few simple steps. Here is a short video showing the process: https://vimeo.com/404547578
How can I take certain parts off? ( ...e.g. backplate or rockers)
You can take off almost all the parts with a few simple steps. Either start with gently pressing out the corners of the backplate or start with taking off the rockers. We made a short video to help with the disassembly. https://vimeo.com/404539743
Where can I buy spare parts?
We are planning to add the option to purchase parts to our webshop. For now you would have to send your request to email@example.com (Required information is type and amount, full name, billing/shipping address) We will create an invoice that needs to be paid in advance. (Payment methods are either bank transfer or PayPal)
Where can I buy multi-frames?
We are planning to add multi-frames to our stock as well. For now, you would have to contact GIRA or any third-party reseller that specializes in their products.
I am interested in additional colors (creme, aluminium, …)
We are planning to add more colors to our portfolio. If you are interested, we would recommend subscribing to our newsletter to stay updated about releases, news and much more. https://www.senic.com/newsletter
Can I use the FOH switches without the Hue hub?
The Philips Hue Bridge V2 is mandatory for using the Friends of Hue Smart Switches with Hue equipment.
Can I use the FOH with other Zigbee products?
The Friends of Hue Smart Switches are designed to work with the Hue Bridge, and in addition to the bridge, with HomeKit. Using the Zigbee protocol with third-party products that are not connected to the Hue bridge is not tested and therefore not recommended.
Can I use the switches when there is no internet connection?
Yes, as long as the hue hub is still powered you will be able to use the switches. First you need to configure the switch, and reactions, in the App (e.g. scene for lamp XY), and then you can be sure that the switches will give you the expected result even without an internet connection.
I have problems with the FOH. The FOH is not being recognized by the bridge.
Try to reset the Bridge and/or the Friends of Hue Smart Switches. You should be able to reset the switches with the following pattern: 1- Press top left 2- Press and hold top right for about 10 seconds 3- press top right and bottom left at the same time 4- press top left Note: Please make sure the module is inserted in the right way up. Also quickly check if the following items are assembled correctly: Backplate: Facing Top Frame: GIRA on Top (visible from the backside) Module: 0 on Top Module holder: Facing Top (If that doesn’t help, feel free to contact our customer service)
Can I have multiple reactions from one button e.g. power on/ power off.
This will not be possible with the standard hue settings. You would have to use a Third-party App (like IconnectHue or Hue Essentials) to enable this. We made a video to quickly show you the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrZgVlASN6o
Can I trigger routines or use it with my voice assistant/smart hub e.g. Alexa or Google Hub?
There is currently no support for routines or smart hubs like Alexa. Only exception: You are able to use the Friends of Hue switches, in addition to the Hue Bridge, with HomeKit.

What is Pop Art?
Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid to late 1950s. Some of the most known pop art artists are Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Roy Lichtenstein made stylized reproductions of comic strips using dots and flat color tones. Andy Warhol used the screen printing technique for his famous artworks like the portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

And now, for the pop art effect Photoshop tutorial. This tutorial follows exactly the same steps as in the YouTube video pop art photoshop effect tutorial above, so you can follow along if you missed any details in the video.
Pop Art Effect Photoshop Tutorial
How to Make Pop Art in Photoshop
Let's take a quick look at the pop art portrait effect that we'll create in this pop art Photoshop tutorial. We'll make pop art from photo in just a few steps. The pop art effect in Photoshop is quite easy to create with filters. This pop art effect is also known as the Warhol effect as it was used by Andy Warhol many times to create his famous pop art portraits.
There is no 1-click pop art filter Photoshop effect, so we need to use several filters combined to make pop art portraits.
You can create a pop art portrait, but you can also use objects like vintage cans, high heels shoes, retro cameras, vintage cars or other retro vintage objects. So the same technique can be used for numerous Warhol effects in Photoshop.
Open your image in a new PSD file. Call this layer Photo.
Posterize Effect in Photoshop
Press Control-J to duplicate this layer and name it Poster Effect. Go to Filter > Artistic menu and choose Poster Edgesto create the posterize effect.
Duplicate the Photo layer and call it Sketch Effect. Move the layer above the Poster Effect layer.
Set the Foreground Color to black and the Background Color to white.
Sketch Effect in Photoshop
Go to Filter > Sketch > Photocopy. Apply this filter to layer Sketch Effect.
Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels.
Set the blend mode of the Sketch Effect layer to Multiply.
Duplicate the Photo layer and call it Black and White Effect. Move the layer above the Sketch Effect layer.
Add a Gradient Map adjustment layer. Right click and choose Create Clipping Mask.
Change the colors of the Gradient Map to create this black and white vector effect. Depending on your image you have to change the settings. The important thing is to keep close almost identical the location of the black and white color.
If you use only this layer and add a black background, you get a pop art silhouette. The silhouette pop art can be used for making posters, to print on T-shirts, etc.
Set the blend mode of the Black and White Effect layer to Multiply.
Colorize in Photoshop
To create the pop art Lichtenstein effect, we have to colorize the image. Add a new layer above the Poster Effect layer and call it Colorize.
Use the Brush Tool and a hard round brush to colorize the picture. I used these colors: #61cb89 (green background), #e7c31c (yellow hair), #59bfe9 (blue makeup), #db1a00 (red lips), #ffffff (white for teeth and eyes), etc. You can also colorize the skin.
The comic pop art photoshop effect is looking quite good. So, let's continue by adding some pop art texture.
Add Halftone Texture
Add a Layer Mask to the Halftone Texture layer.
Hide the layer. Make sure you are in the layer mask and go to Image > Apply Image.
Press Control-I to invert the mask. Unhide the Halftone Texture layer.
Set the blend mode of this layer to Multiply. We are one step closer to finalize the turn photo into pop art Photoshop effect.
If you want you can add a Levels adjustment just for the Halftone Texture layer.
Pop Art Photoshop Portrait Effect
So, here is the final result fot the pop art Photoshop portrait effect. To make pop art from photo is not very difficult but the easiest way is to use our pop art Photoshop action!
There are lots of pop art filter app tools to turn photo into pop art free online, but with Photoshop the result is much better.
Once you've mastered the pop art effect in Photoshop, you can apply it to your own designs, such as creating a pop art-inspired Netflix home screen using the free online Netflix template. By adding bold colors, patterns, and graphics to the template, you can create a Netflix home screen that's both eye-catching and fun.
Easy to use Pop Art Photoshop action that you can download from the GraphicRiver market. The pop art generator by psddude is a Photoshop action that creates a realistic pop art effect. There is no need to use a pop art software, you only need Photoshop. Check out this video tutorial on how to use the Pop Art Warhol Photoshop Action:
Lichtenstein photo generator for making comic effect, comic book photo effect and of course Lichtenstein effect in no time. Any of the two Photoshop actions are great for making pop art posters and pop art wall art.
Another interesting time period in terms of art and graphic design style, was the 1980s. If you want to learn more about the 80s, the Synthwave art, check out my article about 80s font used in movie posters, video gammes, music album covers and so on.
Free Posterize Photoshop Action

The Argentina international arrived at Old Trafford in August from Real Madrid for a club-record £59.7m.
However, Cole believes that the 26-year-old has already shown during his five Premier League appearances that he is worth the fee.
"He has played so well and given a little bit of spark. It's what you always want when you come for that kind of money, everyone is expecting something special and he's done just that," Cole told the club's official website.
"I think when you come to a football club like Manchester United, there is always going to be pressure but he has played for another massive club in Real Madrid. He is used to having the cameras always on him, you might say having the microscope on him but, the way he has started at United, he won't have a problem as he is clearly a quality player."
Di Maria has scored three goals and assisted a further three for his teammates this season.
