Twenty miles upstream
Coming from the busy bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, through the industrial, dusty outskirts of the sprawling metropolis, the city of Thu Dau Mot is surprisingly tidy. Skirting the Saigon River, a bit over an hour’s drive from the heart of town, this burgeoning commercial district is still connected to town but without so much of the chaos and clutter.
It’s well organised. The streets are a little wider. It’s busy but there’s room to breathe and shady places to rest. You sense there’s a collective pride from the local community in keeping their hometown laid back and livable.
But as for many of Vietnam’s urban centres – particularly in the southern end of the country and particularly around the rainy season – the spectre of dengue casts a long shadow.
Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh has lived here all her life. She talks about the generous spirit of her community, how her block is better kept than others and about the salty banh beo and mangosteen chicken salad that her town has made famous.
Despite the efforts of the locals, there are plenty of empty blocks and construction sites that provide ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. As a community leader and advocate for her residential area, Ms Binh knows her neighbours do what they can to keep the numbers down. But mosquitoes are notoriously difficult to control.
“Any mosquito here carries the danger of transmitting dengue fever. If you get bitten, you are vulnerable,” she says.
Employing every measure
Last year, one of the local health centres treated 220 cases of dengue. This year, numbers have been down, possibly due to less movement of people weary of COVID-19. But also, the rainy season has not yet arrived.
Nguyen Van Hai moved to Thu Dau Mot – to his aunt's comfortable home down one of the many quietly looping lanes – from the countryside seven years ago. His ailing father was not able to get the medical treatment he needed so the family moved to where they knew they’d have better access to healthcare and schools. He works in Ho Chi Minh City, travelling by motorbike three hours a day, returning home in time to help put his two infant children to bed.
A couple of months ago, Mr Hai and his wife got dengue.
“It was very, very terrible,” he recalls. “First my wife got it. She had a high fever, 40 degrees. She was tired. She couldn’t eat any more. The first day she was feeling very cold. As you can see, the weather here is hot but she was feeling very cold. She thought she had the flu.”
This is a common misconception of people who have contracted the virus. Many will endure the symptoms at home so the number of treated cases doesn’t come close to representing that actual number of people who have the disease. But by day three of her fever, Mr Hai took his wife to hospital.
“Our baby is very young, still feeding from her mother. But my wife wasn’t eating. I remember one day we used the medicine six or seven times to try to reduce the fever, but it’s too much. And the fever did not decrease. We were worried about that. We knew this was dangerous, life-threatening if we didn’t go to the hospital. We moved the whole family to the hospital. We used a private room. It was so expensive but we had no choice.”
Two weeks later, Mr Hai got dengue too.
An indiscriminate burden
Dengue is the world’s fastest growing tropical disease. All of the world’s tropical regions are vulnerable. And those tropical regions are getting larger due to climate change. According to the World Health Organisation, nearly half of the world’s population is now at risk from dengue.
The Aedes aegypti mosquito, most responsible for transmitting viruses like dengue, likes to live where people live. Which means some of the most densely populated cities in the world are hotbeds for the spread of the diseases they carry.
In Vietnam, dengue is endemic throughout the southern region and central coast. On average, more than 90,000 cases are recorded every year – 70% of them in the south. But hundreds of thousands more cases will go undetected. For some, the symptoms can be severe and dengue does not discriminate between rich or poor, young or old.
Dr Huynh Trung Trieu is Deputy Head of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City. Of the three to four thousand children a year who come to the hospital for treatment, around four hundred will experience shock and require intensive care under the management of Dr Trieu.
“When a patient comes to PICU with shock, it’s hard to explain to the family immediately how severe they are and to predict the outcome, Dr Trieu says.
“They are always very worried. We have to ask the parents to leave their child in intensive care and to wait outside the unit. They’re in tears and I have to ask them to trust me and that I will take care of them and inform them of the progress. This is hard if I have a night with 15 children in shock. I have to explain quickly that if they don’t hear from us then the child is ok. But if they become more severe I will call them.”
Dr Trieu’s patients receive a meticulously measured amount of fluid. Knowing when to give more, when to give less and when to stop is something of an art. The vast majority of cases will recover, but if the child has been admitted too late there can be significant organ damage and the child may die.
“They don’t die immediately like with cardiac arrest. With shock it doesn’t happen like that. So we have to explain to the family gradually to try to help them accept the situation. If you come out and say ‘your child is going to die’ nobody will believe you. They can’t accept that their child has died after just several days with a fever. It’s painful for the family and painful for the staff. Every death you remember forever. So the feeling of seeing a patient discharged is something of more value than anything for a doctor.
A new day dawning
The World Mosquito Program has been working in Vietnam since 2006.
The first trials of the Wolbachia method have been taking place near Nha Trang about 400km north of Ho Chi Minh City on the central coast. The most recent data is promising with far fewer cases of dengue being recorded in areas where Wolbachia mosquitoes have been released.
While monitoring of this region continues, plans are in place to begin implementing the method in My Tho in the northern reaches of the Mekong Delta and in Thu Dau Mot. Together with partners at the Pasteur Institute, Action On Poverty and with support from local government the first phase of the roll-out will focus on community engagement. Only when the communities are up to speed and on board will the first release get the green light to go ahead. This is where community leaders like Ms Binh and residents like Mr Hai play a crucial role.
“The program has approval from the department of health so that’s why I trust it,” Ms Binh explains. “We need to believe in the public health department if we want the best outcomes for our country.”
Mr Hai, who has been following the progress of the Wolbachia method for some time, is equally supportive.
“This method to use the mosquito against the mosquito is a very good idea. Especially in places where the health system is not so good. Here in the cities we have more access to treatment for dengue but in some places it’s very hard to get to hospital and they don’t have the money for treatment. It’s very exciting not only for me and my family and my neighbours, but for all people in Vietnam.”
Mr Hai knows that not all of his neighbours have the luxury of annual leave or the money to pay for a room in a hospital. He understands the burden a family like his can endure when the fever takes hold. He hangs nets over the beds in every room in his house, monitors the bathrooms for tiny intruders and prays that his two young children will be spared the suffering a single bite can bring.

On Monday we spent a long hot day traipsing through Plitvice National Park.
It’s full of lakes and we spent a lot of time walking over rather uneven, rickety board walks that took us past and over waterfalls, crystal clear pools containing ducks and fish, and fast moving streams.
It’s all very beautiful, and I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, but it was hot and, as per usual for our family, things didnt go exactly to plan.
The information board at the entrance advised us that the shortest walk we could do would take ‘2-3’ hours.
This made me nervous. My dodgy knee can just about 3 hours of walking if everything is on the level. Add stairs and/or slopes to the walk and it’s much less.
And DD2 and DS are both hypermoble, so they struggle with walking more than a couple of hours too.
It was a recipe for disaster really, especially when we realised that we had to walk 20 minutes just to catch the bus-train that would take us up into the mountains.
The girls kept asking how long the walk would take and I’m afraid we were not entirely honest with them about the expected time scale. Once they’d finished grilling us, they were rather under the impression that we’d be walking for oh, around 30-40 minutes.
All went ok for the first 2 hours. We strolled between the trees on the wide, well-marked paths. We enjoyed the exquisite scenery and the way the light struck the water at different angles.
The kids loved watching the fish and we sat beside a couple of inquisitive ducks to eat our sandwiches.
There were lots of little waterfalls and a handful of big, very impressive ones. I can only imagine what they are like in the spring time.
There was also a no swimming rule, which was understandable, but the water looked so, so inviting sometimes. Remarkably we didn’t see anyone flouting this rule; from what we’ve seen, people in this area of Europe do not seem to be that hot on following rules.
But there were rather a lot of stairs and slopes, and after two hours, my knee was not happy. I took an ibuprofen and asked DH if he thought it would be another hour or longer.
There were some signs pointing the way you should go if you wanted to take a particular route but there was no indication of times. Just as well, as DD2 heard my question and she was not impressed at the prospect of walking for another hour or so.
In fact she threw a pretty impressive tantrum at the thought of having to walk perhaps another hour.
Despite the very warm weather, it seemed that everyone in Croatia was up for a wander around the Lakes. The path was crowded with people who obviously found the sight of a tweenager throwing a strop quite entertaining.
Finally we got DD moving again, but it was too late. My knee decided enough was enough, DS’s legs got sore and DD3 fell down a bank while looking for a ‘walking’ stick. DD2 discovered she had blisters and became hysterical again.
DD1 helpfully started talking about the wolves and bears in the park, then stabbed my foot while holding my walking pole for me. I swore profusely and DH, quite understandably, suffered a complete sense of humour failure.
There were tears. We found a vacant bench, sat down and had something to drink, applied plasters and psyched ourselves up for the final push.
Finally, we could see something promising through the trees. It didn’t look that far, as the crow flew, but the path seemed to curve away from what we could see, so DH volunteered to go ahead.
He was back less than 10 minutes later with good news. The boat that would take us across the lower lake, so we could make our way up to the car park, was within touching distance.
Unfortunately for me, there were steps involved but I hobbled down them and soon we were on the boat, crossing the lake.
I spoke to the man who was in charge of loading and unloading the boat and asked him how far to the car park from where the boat let us off.
He assured me it was very close; ‘no more than 10 minutes.’
Maybe 10 minutes would be the case if you were a mountain goat, but it took us at least half an hour.
We had an ice cream break first and childishly amused ourselves but urging each other to try unfortunately named products.
Then we resumed the whining and complaining while we staggered up more stairs and slopes and uneven board walks, back to our car.
4 hours after we set out, we sunk down into our seats and switched on the A/C.
We were glad we’d done the Plitvice National Park, but it had been a bit much for some of us.

This is the fifth in our series on Genesee County's farms and farmers. For previous stories, click here. (Obviously, I started this story in late fall and am only now publishing it. I've got one other story that I started at the same time as this and hope to finish in the next week).
When you farm 11,000 acres -- growing cucumbers, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, cabbage, pumpkins, winter squash, onions, potatoes, carrots and tending milk cows -- you always have something to sell.
Whether you always have a buyer is another matter.
Each work day -- spring, summer, fall and winter -- Maureen Torrey arrives at the main office of Torrey Farms in Elba at 8 a.m. to start marketing the products grown on the farmland owned by her and her brothers John and Mark.
She talks to potential buyers not just in the Northeast, but as far away as Texas and California, trying to get the best price, and sometimes just trying to set a reasonable price, to move perishables before they spoil.
Torrey is a graduate of Iowa State University with a degree in journalism. She was a Cornell Extension agent for awhile then worked in merchandising for Chiquita for four years. The merchandising job gave her a taste of how she could contribute to the family farm.
"I realized I really liked the wheeling and dealing," Torrey said. "The markets are different every day. It's all by your gut. You're looking at weather patterns and what's available and what your gut is telling you. You look at whether to raise the market or lower the market and look at who's short around the country."
The roots of Torrey Farms goes back to the founding of the nation. In 1626, the Torrey family left England and settled in Connecticut. But the rocky soil of The Nutmeg State wasn't great cropland, so as pioneers moved West, so did the Torreys, looking for better farmland.
John Torrey arrived in Bethany in 1803, and while there are still Torreys farming in the Bethany area, Torrey Farms as we know it today began in 1948 when Elbert Torrey, the grandfather of Maureen, John and Mark, purchased the 375-acre Higley Farm in Elba.
Don't let the size of today's Torrey Farms fool you -- it's as much a family farm as the one with 100 acres and 40 cows. Besides the three offspring of Charles Torrey running operations today, Mark's children also work in management roles on the farm.
Jed is charge of grain crops, Travis, daily labor, Lucus, harvest and planting, Shannon, marketing and sales, Molly, human resources and Jordon in accounting and marketing.
"We're very much a hands-on operation," said Maureen, whose three daughters are all in college. Jill is at Cornell, Julie is at Florida State and former Elba Onion Queen Jamie is a freshman at the University of Arkansas.
The farm employs 80 workers throughout the four seasons and brings in as many as 220 workers for the spring through the early fall.
Most employees, as is the case in agriculture throughout the United States, are migrants and immigrants.
After the weather -- if not before -- ensuring the farm has enough labor to plant and harvest is the biggest difficulty Torrey Farms faces. Both John and Maureen agree on that point.
"More than 70 percent of all the food in this country is planted and grown by immigrants," Maureen said. "That's pretty significant. Without them, we'd be pretty hungry."
Yet, there's an endless supply of politicians in Washington -- and it's been this way since the 1980s -- seemingly intent on trying to make it as difficult as possible for farms to get the labor they need to feed Americans.
"Our biggest challenge is the labor, the immigration issue," John said. "You're always going to have the variables of the weather, but the last several years, what we're most uneasy about is immigration."
Fighting against hard-headed politicians in Washington has put Maureen Torrey on a national stage. She's testified before Congress and worked with both labor and agricultural groups trying to bring about sensible immigration reform.
It hasn't been easy.
"We're trying to get some people in Congress to stand up and be fair and do what needs to be done for the country," Maureen said. "They need to make strong decisions and stop worrying about elections. They hear from some advocacy groups, from people who are well organized and use social media and send tons of letters, but they need to look at the meat of the issue and see what it means for the country and who is doing the work and how it's getting done.
"We've always got to educate a new batch of congressmen," Maureen added.
Like just about any farmer you talk to, the Torreys have tried hiring native-born workers, but it never works out. After six hours, maybe two days, the domestic workers leave or don't come back.
The work is hard and dirty, and there are too many handouts from the government to it make worthwhile for citizens stoop and bend in farm fields.
Misinformation spread about immigrants sucking money from that same social services system is what drives border crack downs and makes it harder for farmers to bring in crops, Maureen said. People come here from Mexico to work, Torrey said, not collect welfare.
And often their wages get poured back into the local economy.
"They talk about (immigrants in) the schools, but this farm land and our housing all generate school taxes," Maureen said. "They're also the best shoppers for our retailers. Three weeks ago, 42 brand-new TVs went back on the bus to Mexico. Talk to the store owners in Albion. They love these guys. It makes their business for them."

Our Director Mark recently gave a talk at the Parking and Property 2018 event, discussing what the car parks of the future would be like. We caught up with him to hear a bit more about his predictions….
What are the big trends impacting the car park sector right now?
There is a lot of uncertainty in the sector right now but there are three main trends that I see having a profound effect on car park design.
Firstly, how we use cars is changing. We’re seeing far more car pooling going on and car ownership falling.
Secondly, the car industry itself is rapidly changing. We’re likely to see autonomous, driverless cars and cars that can park themselves become increasingly popular as the technology develops.
And finally, we’re seeing a step change in town planning as the value of real estate in central urban areas continues to rise.
All these trends feed into fundamental changes for mobility in our towns and cities.
With these in mind, what will the car parks of the future look like?
My vision for car parks is for them to become what many now call ‘automotive mobility hubs’. Yes, you can park there, or your car will park itself as we see more self-parking cars enter the market. But there will also be plenty of space for car pools, a valeting service and even bike club spaces. It’s about meeting everyone’s travel needs in one place.
But these do not need to be brand new buildings, current stock can be adapted. Here’s how I see one of our award winning car park renovation at Ruskin Square reimagined for 2030…..
Car parks designed for self-parking cars – is this really going to happen?
With our design projects, we’re already seeing a lot of design time being ploughed into car parks that accommodate self-parking cars. The belief is that these cars are likely to be commonplace in just over a decade and will save people time and reduce the amount of space needed in cities for parking. It’s an approach that Mayor Joseph Curatone is already looking to implement in Somerville, Boston in the States, where parking spaces take up a ridiculous 40% of the available land area.
How will it work?
We will soon be able to go to designated drop off points, leave our car and head directly into the shops or office. Meanwhile our car drives to its allocated parking spot and parks itself. It can then charge if its electric and we can summon it using an app when we’re ready to head home. No more circling up and down car parks looking for a space!
These cars don’t need as much room to park as no one needs to get in and out of the car, so a lot more spaces can be squeezed into the same footprint. Allowing people to leave their cars at designated drop off points means we will also hopefully see car parks move out of prime real estate areas in city centres, while people are still able drive their car to where they want to be.

Let me just be the first to say that I am officially floored by Tik N’ Tak. I haven’t been able to take this disc out of my player, and chances are that the youth of America will feel the same way about their debut Friends. You see, Tin N’ Tak are from Finland, their band (yes, an actual BAND) is comprised of six teenage girls aged 14 to 17 who attend the North Helsinki Band School, and they kick some major ass. This, my friends is where the teen pop landscape is going to change if my gut instincts are correct. You say the Backstreet Boys wrote some of their songs? Ha! Step aside, lads. Tik N’ Tak are about to rule your world.
You see, this group isn’t about the show. These young ladies are all about the performance. I went to their website (www.tikntak.com) and checked out a live clip of the band featured there, and was even more impressed by their talent afterwards. Yes, they can really sing. Yes, they can really play. NO, there are no choreographed dance moves and Pepsi commercials. In a dense sea of complete unoriginality, Tik N’ Tak have raised the flag (and the bar) for smart Top 40 pop that proves you don’t have to me all about looks and under Max Martin’s iron fist to produce a hit album in the genre.
Yes, they really are quite young, so prepare to really be amazed. Lead singer Petra has an absolutely beautiful and strong voice that can attack the rock tracks and quickly turn around to handle the love ballads with no trouble whatsoever. And no, she’s not another Christina Aguilera who feels the need to do that ungodly “huhhhhooohhhWHOOAAAAHhhhyeeaahhhhhhuuhhhwhooooaAHHHYeahhhhhhh” every other line to “prove” she can “sing”. And don’t go comparing her to Ms. Spears either, because as I said she can sing. No faux sexual groaning of every syllable here in an attempt to mask zero singing ability. Petra’s got the goods to nail a note down perfectly.
So what about the playing. These girls really do play their instruments? That wasn’t a joke? Not at all. Guitarist Emilia adds pretty acoustic rhythm and melodic counterpoint to Petra’s singing. Her subtle licks in “Anytime” are the perfect touch to an already terrific pop song. Second guitarist Noora provides the electric crunch to the group, wielding a truly rock sound that is a true breath of fresh air to this market (yes, I realize guitars have been used in every other teen pop sensation get-up, but Noora’s tasteful; her guitar actually does anchor the band’s sound rather than come off as a “rawk” gesture on the part of the producers). Keyboardist Nea performs all sorts of melodic and textural wizardry to the performances, and bassist Mimmu and drummer Tuuli create a solid backbeat that isn’t just another drum box and synth combo that offers no life to the songs. In fact, Mimmu’s occasional use of fuzz pedal pretty muck makes me drool every time.
But are the songs any good lyrically, or is this just another album aimed at the kids? Well, these girls are teens, so the songs tend to be about relationships (good and bad), and love. But the general mood of the album is upbeat. And I think that’s really due to these girls being a real performing band, and not just another group of pretty faces ready to hang their talent on a bunch of sappy ballads. The opening “Upside Down (Steve James mix)” is a terrific slab o’ pop that should be a giganto hit, as well as the cautionary “Don’t Turn Back”, a tough little number in which Petra lashes out against a would-be bad boy. Both tunes have had videos shot for them and are viewable on the band’s website. My personal favorites are “Anytime”, “Perfect Girl”, and the quirky power pop of “Move On”. But there is seriously not a dull track amongst the 12 that make up Friends. And this is coming from someone who can’t stand teen pop.
Yet I think this album should easily be enjoyable by people well beyond their teenage years. The kids will definitely eat it up, but I have a feeling that the parents will start humming along as well. But my advice to you is to go out and buy this one if you have kids or not. Tik N’ Tak represent the great difference between American teen idols and Everyone Else’s. Well, at least in this case they do. With a genuine talent, great singing by all involved, and a smart set of songs that should carry these young ladies up the charts in no time at all Friends deserves to be a giant hit. And I truly hope that Tik N’ Tak winds up ruling the radios for a while. If the world can be right only every now and then, then this album should finally quiet ‘N Sync and the rest of their ilk in stunned silence. Buy this one ASAP.

The UK High Court has struck down a case brought by the National Council for Civil Liberties, more commonly known as Liberty, alleging that the so-called Snooper's Charter is in breach of human rights legislation.
Published back in 2015 under the auspice of then-Prime Minister Theresa May, the Investigatory Powers Bill - known by critics as the Snooper's Charter - was designed to replace the defeated Communications Data Bill of 2012. Under the terms as published, the Bill was claimed to 'not impose any additional requirements in relation to encryption over and above the existing obligations in RIPA [Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act]' but extended the right of 'equipment interference' to cover law enforcement and the armed forces in addition to the security services. The Bill also includes a requirement for internet service providers to store browsing history for a rolling twelve month period and accessible upon request from security services and law enforcement, as well as adding a new criminal offence of 'knowingly or recklessly obtaining communications data from a telecommunications operator without lawful authority.'
The Bill was the focus of a court case brought by campaign group the National Council for Civil Liberties, better known as Liberty, alleging that it represented a breach of human rights. That argument has now been struck down by the High Court, which disagreed with Liberty's claim that the Investigatory Powers Bill - now an Act of Parliament - did not include sufficient safeguards against abuses of human rights.
'This disappointing judgment allows the government to continue to spy on every one of us, violating our rights to privacy and free expression. We will challenge this judgment in the courts, and keep fighting for a targeted surveillance regime that respects our rights,' claims Liberty lawyer Megan Goulding on the ruling. 'These bulk surveillance powers allow the state to hoover up the messages, calls and web history of hordes of ordinary people who are not suspected of any wrong-doing.
'The Court recognised the seriousness of MI5’s unlawful handling of our data, which only emerged as a result of this litigation. The security services have shown that they cannot be trusted to keep our data safe and respect our rights.'
The Investigatory Powers Act (IP Act) was enacted as an Act of Parliament by Royal Assent in November 2016.

To achieve the hallmark thin slices of Hasselback dishes, we used a two-step roasting process. By roasting the unsliced squash halves until slightly softened, we were able to cut consistent, thin slits with ease.
YIELD: 6 SERVINGS
COOK TIME: 1 Hour
1 large (2–3 pound) butternut squash, halved lengthwise, peeled, and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground sage
5 tablespoons salted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8–10 sage leaves
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 375°F Roast Mode with a rack set at position “3.”
- Place squash halves, cut side down, on baking sheet.
- Drizzle and evenly coat both halves with olive oil, ground sage, salt, and pepper.
- Roast for 10–15 minutes or until squash is soft enough to cut.
- Remove from oven and cut ¼ inch, horizontal slits down the length of the squash, being careful not to slice through the entire squash, stopping ¼ inch from the base.
- Melt butter in a pan on medium heat. Stir frequently, 2–3 minutes, until butter begins to brown. Remove from heat and stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, and 4–5 sage leaves. Pour melted butter mixture over top of sliced squash. Intersperse remaining sage leaves into squash slits.
- Roast butternut squash halves, basting with the cooking juice every 8–10 minutes, for 40 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler for a few minutes until the top of the squash is lightly browned.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the squash and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Alternatively, top with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of kosher salt and serve.

Lord of the Dance created by Michael Flately
LORD OF THE DANCE is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal Lord of Light, the LORD OF THE DANCE. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers' bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm.

The COVID vaccine is a controversial subject. My view is that your decision regarding the vaccine is your business and other people should not pressure you either way. However, I will also say that the liberal media is getting people killed.
They’re doing this by not accurately reporting dangers around the vaccines and what is going on with them. New statistics from the CDC now show the truth about the vaccine that nobody wants to admit.
No Opinions, Just Facts
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a government system for reporting when you have a bad reaction to any vaccine. It’s estimated that only 1% of people report their negative reactions to VAERS.
In the past 14 days, VAERS has had more records of deaths due to the COVID vaccine than there have been people who died from COVID. Fact. Between June 26 to July 9, there have been 4,006 deaths immediately after COVID vaccination in this country. That same period saw 3,114 deaths from COVID (and we all know the fraudulent ways in which health authorities count things as COVID which are not).
This is around 30% more deaths from the shot than from the virus…and that’s just official numbers. Can you imagine how much worse the picture could be under the surface and if everyone called VAERS who suspected death from the vaccine?
Cyprus currently has the most Covid cases per capita on Earth yet, before the most recent wave began, they had already vaccinated the majority of their adult population: pic.twitter.com/blUMXPa1lm

Censorship in America
This simple and horrifying fact is being censored by our media, by big tech, and by politicians. Just recently Biden got in a reporter’s face and claimed unvaccinated people are “killing people.” Has he seen these numbers or does he just not have a heart?
Liberal and pro-vaccine folks generally put forward a big criticism of VAERS: it’s just reported, not proven, or official. This isn’t discrediting they think since VAERS still has a process for verifying and determining what sort of reactions and vaccine you’ve taken. The COVID vaccines can kill you. That’s just a fact. They aren’t just “slightly” dangerous or whatever nonsense the liberals tell you.
Something really odd is going on:
In Europe we are seeing surges at many places where most of the population has already been vaccinated.
At the same time, the 15 least vaccinated countries don‘t seem to face any problem.
At some point, denying this problem will get painful. pic.twitter.com/240KUKTJwe
— Corona Realism 🟢 (@holmenkollin) July 16, 2021
These are the highest vaccine death numbers that VAERS has ever seen by far. Lying to VAERS is literally a crime. The chance that more than a few of these reports are fake is very, very low.
These are real people who’ve lost loved ones from the COVID vaccines. Period. In addition to the people dying, these vaccines don’t really seem to be accomplishing their main task of preventing COVID.
In fact, the most vaccinated countries seem to be having a rise in COVID, and the more vaccinated, the higher it is: how strange, don’t you think? Meanwhile, the least vaccinated countries seem to be doing fine.
It’s time for some answers. Furthermore, before you roll up your sleeve to take that shot, do your research, read VAERS, and consider every perspective, not just the words of Dr. Tony Fauci.


McLaren has just unveiled its fastest two-seater ever built.
Named the Sabre, the brand new hypercar boasts a whopping 824 horsepower — 20 horsepower more than the McLaren Elva — and 590 pound-feet of torque thanks to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. While the automaker hasn’t revealed any acceleration stats, it says the car’s top speed comes in at 218 mph and is more powerful than any other non-hybrid model from McLaren.
On top of pure performance, the car is also extremely limited, with only 15 made. Each of them has been designed and extensively personalized by McLaren Special Operations for the American market, but the company says some of its features may not pass European or Asian homologation requirements, including certain aerodynamic elements.
There’s currently no pricing information for the Sabre.
Elsewhere in the automotive world, Apple is reportedly developing its own electric car for production in 2024.

The goal of this study is to identify the bacteria that cause these suppurations, investigate their antibiotic resistance profiles, and assess the role of the nurses who care for these patients. The production and buildup of pus in the soft tissue of a wound is known as wound suppuration. In most cases, the normal inflammatory reaction subsides after three to five days, and the wound heals, causing pus to accumulate, slowing the healing process and potentially leading to significant repercussions. From May 15 to June 21, 2013, the research was carried out at the Menontin zone hospital. Fifty-one patients of all ages and genders with surgical and traumatic discharge wounds were sampled, as well as 30 hand samples from nurses’ hands before and after dressing. 76 microorganisms were detected from the results, comprising 35 cocci and 41 bacilli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in 29% of the microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus in 28%, Escherichia coli in 14%, and miscellaneous bacteria in 14%. 10 bacteria were identified from hand samples, including 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 3 Staphylococcus DNase-negative. 1 Staphylococcus aureus and 2 Klebsiella spp. The isolates were highly resistant to the antibiotics tested, particularly -lactamβ, Gentamycin, Erythromycin, and Colistin. Ciprofloxacin and Fosfomycin sensitivity is high in the majority of strains. It was determined that patients and nurses should be aware of the presence of these germs, take proper antibiotics, ideally after an antibiotic test, wash their hands often, and use sterile materials before and after any dressing.

This is a open letter in response to the people who ‘can’t stand still’ Federal Council media reps – Gina McColl, Stuart Washington and Philippa McDonald. The author Fran Molloy co-ordinates Freeline.net.au, an online network of Australian freelance writers, and is a long-time union member.
From: Fran Molloy
Date: 7 March 2014 17:44
Subject: Re: A message from Stuart Washington, Gina McColl & Philippa McDonald
To: MEAA Federal Management Committee <firstname.lastname@example.org>
Cc: Freeline Sydney <email@example.com>
Hi there, Gina, Stuart and Philippa,
I am disappointed that MEAA Media members hear about this move from you, without the prospect of making any contribution to the decision.
Why are members not being asked to vote on a proposal that essentially takes away their right to vote for the Federal Secretary?
This move will reduce the ability for members to have a say. Yet it seems the members so affected, have no prospect of contribution to the decision.
As a freelance journalist, I have never had the opportunity to vote for a person to represent the interests of freelancers on Federal Council.
We have no branch, no structure and no formal representation. Several Federal Council members are indeed freelancers – but they were not elected to represent freelancers, nor can they, as there are few avenues in place for basic representation; it’s all very ad-hoc. I am happy to speak to you at any time to give some examples. Jane Canaway, a hard-working Federal Councillor, can also explain the issues she faces in helping freelancers achieve visibility and support. The structures are not there to sustain this.
I understand that you all give up your time voluntarily to the roles you perform and I do appreciate the significant effort that you make on behalf of members. However, I note that all of you work for large, mainstream media organisations and therefore represent members who have similar industrial issues.
For the last decade or so, I have worked with a number of freelance journalists to attend meetings and discussions with various representatives with the aim of putting in place better representation for our colleagues – so far, very little has come of this. I have minutes of meetings which I am very happy to forward to you, where the current Federal Secretary promised various actions including the setup of better freelance representation, to no avail.
For the first time in decades, there is the real prospect of a new Federal Secretary who may actually act on these promises. However it seems this may be stymied by a proposal to replace this role with a non-elected position.
I believe there are over 1,000 freelance journalist members of the MEAA; at present, they are very poorly represented by their union in my opinion – even though the future of journalism is very likely to weight more heavily towards freelance than ever.
We do indeed need to be fleet of foot, and embrace change. A new Federal Secretary to replace a person who has held the role for many many years will deliver that change. And at the same time, this position will be an elected role, not an appointment lacking accountability to the members.
I urge you to reconsider this decision.

Tokyo Electric has determined that it will cease use of AREVA’s decontamination system, which uses chemicals to remove radioactive materials from water, as it has not lived up to expectations since it was installed. The utility will file an application with the Nuclear Regulation Authority in order to scrap the system.
The decontamination system was set up in June 2011, three months after the onset of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The design was so complicated that it took 50 welders more than a month to put the system together. In the first three months, the system processed 76,000 tons of contaminated water, but was repeatedly forced to be shut down by a variety of problems.
For the last three years the system has been unused and kept out of operations and in the meantime, TEPCO has introduced a new system to process the ever-accumulating amounts of contaminated water at the crippled plant.
One of the problems will be dismantling and disposing of the decontamination system, as it has become contaminated itself after processing the radioactive materials. The radiation levels measured in the system posed a risk to workers during operation and maintenance of the system.
TEPCO is still facing an uphill battle when it comes to dealing with water storage at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Underneath the plant, an enormous amount of ground water continues to flow directly into the ocean.
The utility has a limited amount of water it can store in storage tanks on site, and need to both stem the accumulation of contaminated water on site and the amount of contaminated water reaching the Pacific Ocean.
Three months ago, TEPCO attempted to divert some of the flow of ground water with an underground bypass, but failed to achieve any meaningful results.
The utility filed another application with the NRA this week, which if approved, would allow them to construct a new system for the collection and discharge of contaminated groundwater after it has been processed in order to remove some radioactive materials back into the Pacific Ocean.
This new groundwater dumping plan will likely face fierce opposition from local fisherman, who feel like they have been making continual concessions for TEPCO – which will undoubtedly affect the future of their own ability to operate, with little or no results.

Sometimes, I could be quite harsh. But, that would be when I want my words to be heard. You don't have to be totally agree with me but I just want you to spare some time to listen and give it a deep thought before you started listing out speculations and giving false judgments.I honestly don’t take sides. When dealing with the reality as of today, it’s hard to even point a finger. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? How would we even know? All these while, many had asked the wrong question. No, do we even know what the right questions to ask are?
Everywhere you turned, you could clearly see that people are pressed. And in many situations like this, we tend to make the wrong decision. We are rush in making judgement, we don't think. We feel like we are doing it right, but the truth is we are dead wrong. And we will be regretting it, sooner or latter.
It brought me to realise that actually I had been playing a game at BTN that was so much alike with the situation I had encounter these days.
We were given a piece of paper, the instruction given to us was very clear. Read all of the questions, than answer them within 4 minutes. I could still remember the facilitator repeating the same instruction over and over. However, the part that we selectively payed attention to is only 'Answer all of the questions within 4 minutes!'. And as soon as we flipped the paper up, we turned into a race against times and tried to answer as many questions as possible.
Then, I stopped a minute and turned to my friend on the left. Why aren't she writing anything? Whatever, I better finish this fast. No, wait. Really, why aren't she practically doing anything? Something is wrong. This is wrong, isn't it. I turned to her again. She repeated the previous instruction given by the facilitator. I know, in 4 minutes right? She shakes her head hard and point to the bottom of the paper.
Bewildered. I gave her a surprised look. The last instruction say, if you are a Muslim only answer question number 10 and 15. I f you are a non-Muslim please answer all question beside question number 10 and 15.
That moment when you realised you had made a fool of yourself and it's just too late to do anything, it's hurting my pride. That was something really precious that I had learned there. And I really don't intend to fool myself a second time this time. I also don't want my friends to make the same mistakes again. So, try to give it some times when you are making a decision. Get rid all of the factors that might pressured you up like families, moneys, times, expectations and negative emotions. Consider the choices you have and the risk that might come up. I had stressed it many times to all of my friends, think!

New linguistic research has concluded that residents of the British Isles didn’t just borrow words and expressions from Norwegian and Danish Vikings and their descendants. Rather, claim two professors now working in Oslo, the English language is in fact Scandinavian.
Jan Terje Faarlund, a professor of linguistics at the University of Oslo (UiO), told research magazine Apollon that new studies show English “as we know it today” to be a “direct descendant of the language Scandinavians used” after settling on the British Isles during and after the Viking Age. An article by Apollon’s editor Trine Nickelsen was published in Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten on Tuesday.
Breaks with the past
Faarlund and his colleague Joseph Emonds, a guest professor at UiO from Palacky University in the Czech Republic, believe they can now prove that English is a Scandinavian language belonging to the group of northern Germanic languages that also include Danish, Swedish, Icelandic and Faroese, spoken on the Faroe Islands.
Their research and conclusions are brand new and break with those of earlier linguistic professors who believe English is rooted in “Old English,” also known as the Anglo-Saxon language believed brought to the British Isles by settlers from northwestern and central Europe. Faarlund claims Scandinavians settled in the area long before French-speaking Normans conquered the British Isles in 1066.
Faarlund and Edmonds also contend that Old English and modern English are two very different languages. “We think Old English simply died out,” Faarlund told Apollon. “Instead, the Nordic language survived, strongly influenced by Old English.”
While many native English-speakers struggle to learn Norwegian, Faarlund believes it’s no coincidence that Scandinavians, especially Norwegians, learn English relatively easily. “It’s true that many of the English words resemble our own (in Norwegian, for example),” Faarlund said. “But there’s more behind it: Even the fundamental structure of the language is amazingly similar to Norwegian. We often avoid mistakes that others (speaking other languages) make in English, because the grammar is much the same.”
Importance of geography
Scandinavian settlers, Faarlund notes, gained control towards the end of the 9th century of an area known as Danelagen, which forms parts of Scotland and England today. Faarlund stressed that “an extremely important geographic point in our research” is that the East Midlands in England, where he says the modern English language developed, was part of the relatively densely populated southern portion of Danelagen.
Edmonds and Faarlund also contend that sentence structure in what developed into modern English is Scandinavian, not western Germanic as previously believed. Both today’s Scandinavian languages place the object after the verb, for example, unlike German and Dutch which place the verb at the end of a sentence. Possessive forms can also be the same in both the Scandinavian languages and English, which also can end sentences with a preposition and split infinitives. While that’s sometimes frowned upon in other variations of modern English such as American English, Faarlund argues it’s not possible in German, Dutch or Old English.
All this, he claims, boosts the similarities between Norwegian and English, for example, and the differences between other Germanic languages and English. “The only reasonable explanation is that English is a Nordic language, and that this language is a continuation from the Norwegian-Danish language used in England from the Middle Ages,” Faarlund told Apollon. “Why the residents of the British Isles chose the Nordic grammar, though, is a matter of speculation.”

Houston - Rice junior middle blocker Nancy Cole dominated play at the net with 15 kills and a .636 hitting percentage to lead the Owls to another 3-0 win over East Carolina in Conference USA volleyball action Sunday inside Tudor Fieldhouse.
Set scores were 25-10, 25-18, and 25-19. The Owls (15-11, 10-5) defeated ECU (2-22, 0-15) 3-0 Saturday night as well.
For Cole, it was her 21st match this season and 45th in her career to reach double-digit kills.
Also in double-digit kills for the Owls was freshman middle blocker Jillian Humphrey. Humphrey had 12 kills in 18 attack for a .611 hitting percentage. Mariah Riddlesprigger tallied 8 kills with 11 digs and Lizzy Bache was also credited with 8 kills.
Owl setter Megan Murphy directed another balanced attack with 36 assists and 13 digs for her team leading 11th double-double of the season. For the match, Rice hit .373 with 54 kills and only 10 errors in 118 attacks.
Whitney Campbell led ECU with 12 kills in 25 attacks for a .440 hitting percentage. The Pirates had 32 kills on the day for a .181 hitting percentage.
"The team did a really good job and ECU hustled and we had a hard time with Whitney Campbell, but our team just put in an overall strong performance," stated Volpe. "Our passing was solid and our serving was really strong."
Rice Controls Set One
The Owls began the match with a 4-1 lead and did not let up on the pedal as they surged ahead for 20-6 margin. Rice then closed out the set to win 25-10.
Rice smashed 20 kills with no errors in 31 attacks for a phenomenal .645 hitting percentage. Nancy Cole and Lizzy Bache led the Owl attack with 6 kills apiece. The Pirates had 7 kills, with 4 of them by Kelly Derby, for a .208 hitting percentage.
The score was tied at 9-9 when the Owls went on a 4-0 run that was ignited by a Mariah Riddlesprigger kill to take a 13-9 lead. From that point, Rice outscored ECU 12 to 9 to capture set two 25-18.
The Owls tallied 17 kills and a .256 hitting percentage to the Pirates' 12 kills and .158 hitting percentage. Cole and Riddlesprigger led the Owl attack with 4 kills apiece. East Carolina's Whitney Campbell had 5 kills and Britney Roper added 4 kills.
Much like set two, set three saw the Owls stretch an 8-7 lead to 12-9 with strong play at the net. Rice finished the set on a 13-10 run for the 25-19 victory with 17 kills and a .295 hitting percentage. Jillian Humphrey and Cole were a force with 6 and 5 kills respectively for the Owls.
ECU tallied 13 kills and a .186 attack percentage. Campbell once again was solid with 6 kills in 10 attacks (.600).
Final Two Home Matches
Rice hosts its final two home matches of the season next weekend. The Owls host Tulsa on Friday, November 11 at 7 p.m. and SMU on Sunday, November 13 at 2 p.m. The SMU contest will be the final home match for seniors Megan White and Jordan Meredith.

In many ways, the most interesting thing about this cookbook isn’t the recipes but the other information that is provided. With this cookbook, the authors strongly focus helping people to transition to the paleo diet and then stick with it in the long-term. This type of information can be particularly useful because the paleo diet is often overwhelming, especially when people first get involved.
Description: The Keto Cookbook is a cookbook for those using the diet to treat epilepsy and other neurologic conditions. The book contains 96 recipes grouped by breakfast and brunch, appetizers & snacks, lunch, dinner, and sweets and treats. The book includes a 16-page color insert illustrating each recipe. Since many children start the Keto Diet before they speak, the pictures of the meal and snack options allow children to choose what they want, helping overcome food refusal due to lack of variety of foods and/or child’s loss of control over food options. This book provides parents and children with options that have been tested and are kid- and Registered Dietitian- approved.
One of the best features of this book is that it has pairing and variations of ingredients that you can use. And if you're going Paleo, sometimes it can be hard to pick what ingredients are Paleo "compatible" that are available on your cupboard or available in a local grocery near you. The meals are easy to prepare and delicious. This book emphasizes on meal planning and preparation which helps you save a lot of time.

Educational programs offered at Naples Historical Society’s Historic Palm Cottage!
Our Events & LECTURES
Pupils at Palm Cottage
Naples Historical Society has partnered with the Collier County Public School district in a first-ever video production on Florida and local history for in-classroom presentation. The video, shown exclusively in fourth or fifth grade Collier County public school classrooms, ends with a live Q&A and has been very well received!
Of course, the Society continues to provide FREE field trips to Historic Palm Cottage for Collier County students as well. Teachers: we reimburse CCPS for yellow bus service!
We want every 4th and 5th grade student in Collier County to know the history of their own community because when children learn about the past, they understand the present, and enjoy thinking about the future…their own future!
Students…aka pupils…at Naples Historical Society’s Historic Palm Cottage having post-field trip fun in The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage! (2020)
Archival Repository Project
The Archival Repository Project is on the Society’s long-range planning docket. This vast effort is what many libraries, governments, museums, municipalities, insurance companies, or any other industry or company that wants to protect its documents are doing or planning to do.
The Society has always had, in some form, a storeroom of sundry archival material. Over the last several years, it grew without effort. The relatively vast collection in the Society’s possession now are from those who donated their precious materials to the Society for safekeeping, or from those the Society sought out of a concern that the material would otherwise be tossed aside.
The current collection of historical materials comprises the Society’s archives, and its burgeoning existence presents an opportunity to craft a project, a major initiative, that will ultimately serve the Society and, more importantly, the community.
The material in the Society’s possession, and yet to be collected, includes any and all Naples history-based documents, newspaper articles, photos, artwork, images, objects, furniture, audio and video oral histories, printed memoirs, textiles, ephemera, postcards, books, published materials, reports, and other collectibles. Having and properly utilizing this amalgamated archival collection supports the Society’s vision to Be the Central Voice of Naples History.
Moving this project forward requires significant financial support–and time–to digitize and make it accessible to the public.
If you’re interested in knowing more about this project and how to help propel this forward, please call us. Thank you.
Call us to see how you can help move this forward!
Naples Historical Society’s speaker’s bureau, or Talk of the Town!, provides lectures to all interested parties. We present on Naples history by bringing Historic Palm Cottage to you OR you may want to know about historic rehabilitation in Naples. Choose your topical preference! Naples history presentations are $150 and historic rehabilitation presentations are free of charge. Call to learn more!
Elaine Reed speaking at Pelican Bay Men’s Coffee event.
Naples Oral Histories
Naples Historical Society works to preserve the history of Naples in many ways. One area is to record old-timers and others who know about the community’s past. We have filmed, recorded, and acquired many films, videos, and audio tapes over the last many decades, all of which will someday soon be embedded on a Naples Historical Society You Tube channel for the enjoyment of the community. Stick with us to learn when this special A/V project will be finished!
Preservation & Rehabilitation
Naples Historical Society took the lead for historic preservation and rehabilitation in Naples long ago. Our work culminated in legislation that enables homeowners of recognized historic houses to rehabilitate their houses without the challenge of Florida Building Code’s 50% Rule.
There are two videos available for your review and consideration. One on the background of rehabilitation in Naples, and another featuring interviews with historic homeowners and building professionals who have a thing or two to say about Naples’ rehabilitation…a MUST-SEE!

Best of British Classical Music: an A-Z
The first piece ever broadcast on Classic FM on 7 September 1992, and the last piece in our A-Z, Handel’s anthem has been sung at every British coronation since 1727. It’s not just the jubilant choirs exclaiming “Long live the King!” that make it a royal favourite – the three trumpets and timpani certainly add a fair amount of excitement to the piece.

I’m having a lot of fun hand quilting small quilts using the big stitch method and since I’m getting a lot of questions, I decided to write down all the information I have in one place. I highly encourage those of you interested to piece a small quilt or grab a UFO and give it a try if it intrigues you like it did me. I only wish I hadn’t waited several years before trying it.
First, if you google Big Stitch quilting tutorials you will find lots of information so I’m not going to tell you how to do it here but I’ll share a few links to get you started. I looked at these before I did my first quilt and found they all had useful information. I quilt these small ones without a hoop and the first link talks about that.
What size/type of needle to use? Most of what I’ve read suggests a chenille or embroidery needle. I have both but decided to try the embroidery needle first. I’m using a size 5. It’s a little longer than the size 22 chenille needle which I think is helpful. I’ve also tried a couple of the needles in the Big Stitch Needle pack but went back to the embroidery needle, it seems to work best for me.
Again, most of the reading I did suggests size 8 or 12 perle cotton (size 12 is thinner) one or two places also mentioned crochet cotton and since I’ve used a lot of crochet cotton in size 10 to tie quilts, I thought I’d try that. KnitPicks has crochet cotton in lots of colors and I decided to try theirs in a gray … Love the thread, love the color!! I also love that I don’t have to guess how many smaller balls of perle cotton a quilt might take. I don’t have to over order or worry about running out.
Hoop or no hoop?
I brought my 14 inch hoop to FL but in the end I decided to try it without the hoop. I just felt that I would be moving the hoop too frequently. I now have a lap hoop from Mom that I will try eventually but for now, I’m stitching to not using a hoop.
Rocking stitch vs running stitch?
I’ve used both and don’t really have a preference – running stitch works well when I’m going side to side, rocking stitch seems to work best when I’m quilting top to bottom. I don’t notice a lot of difference in my stitching so I’m doing whatever seems easiest.
Here’s my Pinwheels and Rails finished

Got a new CZ-75B a few months ago and have probably put >500 rounds thru it so far. Everything is stock, i.e. no spring or sight changes, etc. I've got both factory and Mec Gar mags. The State Politburo only allows 10 round cap. I mostly use a Maglula speedloader, but sometimes load the mags the hard way. Anyhow, I've had at least 5 to 6 Failures to Extract on my last two outings at the range with both Winchester and Browning 115 grain FMJ rounds. It happened with both brands of mags and didn't seem to matter whether I used the speedloader or not. I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the 75B so this is a bit troubling. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about calling CZ for advice. Hopefully, it doesn't have to go in for service. Thanks in advance for your replies.

LATINOS BEYOND REEL: Challenging a Media Stereotype
Latinos are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and among the most diverse accounting for one-sixth of all Americans and tracing their origins to more than 20 countries. Yet across the media landscape, from the broadcast airwaves to cable television and Hollywood film, the reality and richness of the Latino experience is virtually nowhere to be found.
In this ground-breaking new film, filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how American media portray - and do not portray - Latinos. Drawing on the insights of Latino scholars, community leaders, actors, directors, and producers, they uncover simultaneous patterns of gross misrepresentation and gross under-representation -- revealing a world in which Latinos appear, if at all, as murderers and Mexican bandits, harlots and hookers, gang bangers and welfare-leeching illegals. In the end, the film shows us why media representations matter, pointing to the tragic consequences that result when a narrow range of distorted images are allowed to stand in for an entire population. Featuring Chon Noriega, Isabel Molina, Alex Nogales, Moctesuma Esparza, Luis Ramos, Luis Vidal, and others.
