The amount of students who visit the Fort Lewis College counseling center has increased every year over the past few years, and campus counselors credit the increased numbers to a declining stigma around mental health disorders..
Seasonal affective disorder, which usually arises during fall and winter, shares similarities to mental health issues and there are many ways to combat both.
In the past five to ten years, college campuses around the United States have seen a 30 percent increase in mental health disorders, Brian Burke, professor of psychology said.
Student Affairs at FLC has observed that more students are dealing with stress and psychological issues in the past decade, he said.
The FLC counseling center typically sees about 20 percent of the student body, Karen Nakayama, a psychologist and counselor at FLC said.
“We’re seeing students that have more complex and severe mental health issues.” Nakayama said, “The biggest reason college students come in nationwide to counseling centers is anxiety first and depression second.”
Autism, bipolar disorder and psychotic issues are among the more complex and severe mental health issues the counseling center sees more frequently now, Nakayama said.
Studies have shown that younger generations today are ten times more likely to have depression than their grandparents, Burke said.
Mental health issues are more common than being left-handed, Andrea Vasquez, a senior psychology student and the Wellness Peer Advisory Council communications director, said.
War and political climates could be contributing to the instability of mental health, Nakayama said. Another reason could be student debt paired with the possibility of a non-sustainable income immediately after graduation, she said.
The mental health crisis in America could be a result of various circumstances but also an outcome of social acceptance for counseling. People are not only going to counseling earlier in their life but also when they are feeling successful, Burke said.
The counseling center gives FLC students four free counseling sessions each semester, Burke said.
Many people endure anxiety, depression and/or trauma at some point in life, he said. Whether these issues are temporary or consistent throughout a lifetime, the growing outreach for guidance could be a positive sign, he said.
“We are aware, we are taking the problem seriously, we’re available for anyone to talk to and ultimately to help them get the support that they need.” Burke said, “I think that we are doing a very good job locally and on campus reducing that stigma even further.”
Anxiety can have subtle or severe physical symptoms outside the mental or emotional state, Nakayama said. The evolutionary fight, flight or freeze response can be triggered by stress, she said.
These symptoms can include an increased heart rate, acute vision, muscle tension, chest and stomach tightness, jaw clenching and cold extremities, Nakayama said.
Depression does not always give obvious symptoms and can include memory and concentration problems, losing interest, and having self doubt or self esteem issues. A change in appetite as well as feeling tired even though you’re sleeping enough are also signs of depression, Burke said.
Seasonal depression, which usually occurs when the weather becomes gloomy and cold, could increase signs of anxiety and depression as it leads people to be less physically and socially active, Burke said.
Part of this condition comes from the amount of sunlight and vitamin D retrieved for the body, Nakayama said. It affects the melatonin system which is responsible for the sleep cycle, and serotonin system which is responsible for mood and sleep, she said.
Seasonal affective disorder can come from a lack of sunlight and exercise along with reclusion. A sedentary lifestyle combined with the fast paced culture humans live in now could cause mental health issues, Burke said.
Burke suggests going for a hike, snowshoeing, or another form of exercise, he said.
Staying inside on a device rather than going out, or spending time on social media rather than having real interactions, could create susceptibility to anxiety or depression. Individuals who spend over five hours a day on their device could be putting themselves in constant isolation, Burke said.
When one is not present and chooses to use their phone or leave it out while spending time with friends they create a disconnection from world around them, Vasquez says.
“Being in the moment and savoring everything that we have, those exchanges, the raindrops outside, the snow on the ground, I think is something that’s slowly dwindling in our society,” Vasquez said.
Vasquez recommends putting phones away, especially when socializing. If one chooses to primarily live in the real world they might feel happier and be able to help others, she says.
If a friend is struggling with their mental health, allow them to open up in a fashion that suits them, Vasquez said.. If that means sitting in silence or listening to them spill out their thoughts, just be available, she said.
“Affirm, listen, and don’t make it about you.” She said, “Keep it about them and just be there.”
WellPAC has certified peer consultants, which are students who help their peers create strategies to achieve their educational and personal goals, Vasquez said. Peer consultations can provide introductory counseling sessions and are also there to provide support, whether that means being an open ear or helping someone study, she said.
Reaching out for counseling does not necessarily mean someone has a problem, Vasquez said. It means they are empowered to take care of themselves.
“Life is messy, life is complicated, life is challenging, and we want to be able to live in spite of those problems,” Burke said. “When we say mental health, what we’re aiming for is not the absence of problems. It’s people who have anxiety, who have trauma, those things aren’t going away, what we’re hoping for is for people to learn to live with them.”


How to improve the service life of servo motors?
Servo motors are essential for many industrial applications because they offer excellent performance and accurate control. Maintaining operational effectiveness and reducing maintenance expenses necessitates optimizing servo motor life.
Servo motors play a key role in a variety of industrial applications, providing precise control and high performance. Maximizing servo motor life is critical to ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing maintenance costs. This article provides an in-depth look at the strategies and best practices necessary to increase the life of servo motors, covering key aspects such as proper installation, maintenance, environmental considerations, and operational best practices.
Understanding the importance of servo motor life
Servo motors are indispensable components in industrial automation, robotics, CNC machinery, and a variety of other applications. Their service life has a direct impact on the reliability and performance of these systems. Extending the life of servo motors not only reduces downtime and maintenance costs but also ensures consistent operational efficiency, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and cost-effectiveness.
Correct installation and commissioning
The basis for prolonging the service life of a servomotor begins with careful installation and commissioning. The manufacturer's guidelines and specifications must be followed during installation. This includes ensuring proper alignment, secure mounting, and proper wiring to mitigate mechanical stress and vibration. In addition, commissioning procedures should be performed accurately to verify that the motor is operating within specified parameters and under optimal conditions.
Effective maintenance practices
Regular and proactive maintenance is the basis for extending the service life of servo motors. This includes regular inspections to assess the condition of the motor, e.g. checking for wear and tear, loose connections, and signs of overheating. Lubrication of bearings and other moving parts should be carried out according to the manufacturer's recommendations. In addition, regular testing of the motor's performance and feedback devices (e.g., encoders) is essential for early detection of potential problems.
Operational environment considerations
The operating environment significantly affects the life of servo motors. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, and corrosive elements can adversely affect motor performance and life. Measures to control the operating environment, such as proper ventilation, dust filtration, and environmental sealing, can greatly extend the life of a servo motor.
In addition to the above factors, there are some tips to extend the life of the servo motor is very helpful.
- Use of vibration isolation washers. A vibration isolation washer is a kind of important vibration isolation element, it is through the elastic material such as rubber, etc. in the motor and the mounting base between the buffer layer can effectively reduce the external vibration on the motor. In the installation of the motor, should be the first to avoid the vibration washer correctly set in the motor and the base of the corresponding mounting surface, to play its role of vibration avoidance. But at the same time do not use too much locking force, which may lead to the vibration isolation washer being too tight to produce uneven deformation, affecting its vibration isolation performance.
- Focus on bearing condition monitoring. Motor bearings are important wide temperature-sensitive parts, and their condition directly affects the service life of the motor. Therefore, you can regularly use the detector to check whether the bearings have abnormal noise and excessive temperature rise, and at the same time observe whether there is an oil leakage phenomenon. If you find any problem, according to the specific situation, you need to replace the bearings or replenish the lubricating oil in time to ensure that the temperature rise of the bearings operates within the specified safe temperature range.
- Reasonably select and fix the power supply voltage. Improper power supply voltage can also easily lead to motor problems. Unless there is extensive testing and verification, it is not recommended to adjust the rated voltage of the motor, to avoid overloading the motor or other dangers caused by too high or too low voltage.
- Clean the motor regularly. After running for a long time, a lot of dust will accumulate inside the motor, which will affect the ventilation and heat dissipation ability of the motor. You can regularly wipe the surface of the motor shell with a soft felt. The sealing end of the motor needs to be kept dry to prevent moisture invasion caused by the motor short circuit. If the working environment of the motor is poor, you can consider equipping the motor with a filter to prevent large particles from entering the motor.
- Use the motor correctly according to the standard. Starting and braking should also be carried out slowly by the specified procedures, prohibiting high-speed peak starting and stopping, so as not to bring shock damage to the motor components. During operation, the quality of the power supply needs to be monitored periodically to keep it within the permissible range.
- Use professional lubricants. When replacing the plastic gears in the motor section, choose a professional ceramic-based lubricant that protects the plastics and avoids the use of traditional mineral-based oils that may corrode the plastics.
In short, there are many aspects to consider to improve the service life of servo motors. We hope that the methods in this article will help you improve the operational reliability of your servo motors and maximize the life of your motors.

Protect Our Loveland logo
Electors finally cast votes on an initiative seeking a two-year suspension of all fracking related activity in the city of Loveland on June 24, 2014. Although the margin was very narrow, Question 1 was defeated with 10,844 electors voting to reject the measure and 9,942 voting for it, which amounts to 52.17 percent against and 47.83 percent in favor.
With less than 1,000 votes separating defeat from approval, Protect Our Loveland and supporters of the initiative, as well as the Loveland Energy Action Project and opponents, may be left wondering if the long legal battle resulting in an election date of June 24, 2014, may have impacted the outcome of the initiative. Through a jungle of litigation and a final compromise with Larry Sarner, an opponent who sued to keep the initiative off the ballot, Question 1 ended up on a ballot that coincided with the state primary, which was expected to feature a large turnout from voters affiliated with large parties, but less of a showing from independent or small-party voters. Moreover, the primary featured key races for Republican voters, but somewhat unexciting ballots for Democrats.
Additionally, the county elections office refused to administer the election for the city as it has done for the last two decades. This left the unequipped city to run the single-measure election itself, which cost the city an estimated $60,000 - about $30,000 more than the estimated cost of holding an election with the county's help.
The measure originally qualified for the November 5, 2013 election ballot, on which anti-fracking initiatives were narrowly approved in Lafayette, Broomfield and Fort Collins. The Loveland city council, however, decided to postpone the fracking issue in its city because of the ongoing lawsuit filed by Sarner.

Colorado has two different types of ballot measures that are required under two different laws. The first is the Taxpayer Bill of Rights from 1992, which became Section 20 of Article 10 of the Colorado Constitution. Under TABOR, local voter approval is required if the school district wants to exceed its tax levy above the normal rate of inflation set by the consumer price index. The second law is the School Finance Act of 1994. Under the act, voter approval is required when a school district wants to exceed the limit for raising its Total Program Budget. The Total Program Budget is a combined budget that includes the district's general fund, special education and other costs. A school district that wants to exceed the previous year's Total Program Budget by more than 125% must put a plan before the voters. This type of ballot measure has rarely been used; it is considered to be a last resort option.
Colorado law imposes limits on when school districts can hold special elections. Colorado only allows special elections in even numbered years on pre-established general and primary election days in May and November. In odd-numbered years, special school district elections can only occur on the first Tuesday in November.
School districts that want to exceed their TABOR limit can sometimes combine this request with a city TABOR request.

Not sure how to make fake flowers look real? We got you! Follow along below for our favorite tips + tricks to create the most realistic artificial flower arrangements.
Step 1: Choose high-quality, real-touch stems.
For the most realistic artificial flowers, choose single stems with the words real-touch, silk, and wired in the product description. Real-touch stems are typically made from foam and latex and almost feel damp to the touch. Silk flowers are generally fabric coated in wax. Most contain a wired stem that can be easily bent for a more natural look.
Step 2: Bend or trim the stems.
Measure the stems to stand ⅓ higher than your vase, then trim or bend. For opaque vases, try bending the stems - it allows you to keep playing later at different heights. For a life-like arrangement, cut/bend the stems with wire cutters to varying heights so the arrangement feels effortless vs. stiff. Then, fluff the petals, bend the stems a bit, and play!
Step 3: Fluff the petals and leaves.
Before creating your fake flower arrangement, bend and fluff the petals and leaves of each stem. Real flowers don’t stand straight up in nature, so try slightly bending the stems for a more natural look.
Step 4: Add water.
If you’re using a clear vase, fill the bottom with water. If the stems of your fake flowers are wired, dab a bit of glue onto the cut stem so the wire won’t rust in the water. If you love the look of your arrangement and want to keep it forever, try using acrylic water.
Step 5: Keep them clean and store them safely.
Clean your artificial flowers with a damp cloth if they start to look dusty. Short on time? Try hitting them with a quick blow dry on a low heat setting. When you’re not enjoying your faux florals, store them away in a sealed container out of direct sunlight.

Before you start, you’ll need to set up an environment to work in and then get some data. Having systems in place that allow people to work quickly and pick up where others have left off would increase the speed and quality of delivered results. It would enable people to manage data transparently, run experiments effectively, and collaborate with others. In standard software engineering, many people need to work on a shared codebase and handle multiple versions of the same code.
Atlassian claims it raises the chances of finding a file relevant to a query by 33% while complementing instant search results, a module that surfaces predicted search results before users type a character. Dovetailing with smart search and instant search results are intelligent filter controls, which anticipate filters a user is most likely to choose in order to narrow down a search’s scope. According to Atlassian, when these filters are implemented, users select them 89% of the time.
More in Platform
It’s all the information you put in the dvc run command. The top-level element, stages, has elements nested under it, one for ai development services each stage. Technically, you don’t have to type dvc run commands in the command line—you can create all your stages here.
Automate your code from test to production with Bitbucket Pipelines, our CI/CD tool that’s integrated into Bitbucket Cloud.
Now you have a shared cache that all other users can share for their repositories. If your operating system doesn’t allow everyone to work with the shared cache, then make sure all the permissions on your system are set correctly. You can find more details on setting up a shared system in the DVC docs. In the example .dvc file that you’re looking at, there are two md5 values.
Use it to automate development workflows — including machine provisioning, model training and evaluation, comparing ML experiments across project history, and monitoring changing datasets. You now know how to use DVC to solve problems data scientists have been struggling with for years! For every experiment you run, you can version the data you use and the model you train. You can share training machines with other team members without fear of losing your data or running out of disk space. Your experiments are reproducible, and anyone can repeat what you’ve done.
Introducing machine learning-powered “smarts” to our cloud products
You should have a way to find and return to this specific point. Your model is now evaluated, and the metrics are safely stored in a the accuracy.json file. Whenever you change something about your model or use a different one, you can see if it’s improving by comparing it to this value. Read the CSV file that tells Python where the images are. The -m switch means the quoted text that follows is a commit message explaining what was done. This command turns individual tracked changes into a full snapshot of the state of your repository.
For more information on configuring a YAML file, refer to Configure bitbucket-pipelines.yml. Pipelines lets your team run any number of builds concurrently – builds start as soon as code is pushed to Bitbucket, so your team doesn’t wait for agents to free up, and saves precious developer time. Polymer automatically scans Bitbucket for exposed sensitive data when there are code changes within a repository. If they can write a script to fetch the data and create a pipeline stage for it, then they won’t even need step 2.
This will create a .dvc folder that holds configuration information, just like the .git folder for Git. In principle, you don’t ever need to open that folder, but you’ll take a peek in this tutorial so you can understand what’s happening under the hood. For simplicity and speed, you’ll train a model using only two of the ten classes, golf ball and parachute. When trained, the model will accept any image and tell you whether it’s an image of a golf ball or an image of a parachute. This kind of problem, in which a model decides between two kinds of objects, is called binary classification. Jim Weaver is a software developer with experience in many languages and platforms.
- You need some kind of remote storage for the data and model files controlled by DVC.
- However, an effective CI/CD system is vital to this process.
- Dovetailing with smart search and instant search results are intelligent filter controls, which anticipate filters a user is most likely to choose in order to narrow down a search’s scope.
- Another way to give your workflow more order and transparency is to use branching.
The machine will listen for workflows from your project repository. ℹ If using the –cloud option, you will also need to provide access credentials of your cloud compute resources as secrets. In the above example, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (with privileges to create & destroy EC2 instances) are required. Note that cml runner will also automatically restart your jobs (whether from aGitHub Actions 35-day workflow timeoutor aAWS EC2 spot instance interruption).
Support for every platform
Too often tools separate teams are siloed with no central visibility and management. At Iterative, we build tools on the software development stack so ML engineers live in the same world as software engineers. We find this approach helps organizations of all sizes to build models faster and more reliably. When you store your data and models in the remote repository, a .dvc file is created. A .dvc file is a small text file that points to your actual data files in remote storage. In speaking with many machine learning teams, we’ve found that implementing a model registry has become a priority for AI-first organizations in solving visibility and governance concerns.
Leveraging extends to identifying with whom a user tends to work. The knowledge is then applied when suggesting people in predictive user mentions in Jira and Confluence and a predictive user picker elsewhere. CML and Vega-Lite package installation require the NodeJS package manager which ships with NodeJS. You can use cml without node by downloading the correct standalone binary for your system from the asset section of thereleases. Please see our docs onCML with GitLab CI/CDand in particular thepersonal access tokenrequirement.

They can also move them between stages all in a single place, through the entire ML model lifecycle. Integration with these tools is critical to automating workflows and making them easier for both ML engineers and DevOps teams. Now, by opening a pull request or checking in your code, you can create and execute an entire machine learning pipeline, track and record all the process information, and update models from the actions. And just like that, you have a full-blown machine learning pipeline that drives everything to production. You now have a list of files to use for training and testing a machine learning model.
Ready to skill upyour entire team?
There are no CI servers to set up, user management to configure, or repos to synchronize. Just enable Pipelines with a few simple clicks and you’re ready to go. Our mission is to enable all teams to ship software faster by driving the practice of continuous delivery. Take action and collaborate around your builds and deployments.
You need some kind of remote storage for the data and model files controlled by DVC. This can be as simple as another folder on your system. Create a folder somewhere on your system outside the data-version-control/ repository and call it dvc_remote.
Teams that already use Git for collaboration can continue to do so. Each team member will need to create a separate Cloudera Machine Learning project from the central Git repository. For anything but simple projects, Cloudera recommends using Git for version control.
These can be chained together into a single execution called a DVC pipeline that requires only one command. Now every time you run dvc add or dvc commit, the data will be backed up in that folder. When you use dvc fetch to get data from remote storage, it will go to the shared cache, and dvc checkout will bring it to your working repository. Git can store code locally and also on a hosting service like GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab.
BitBucket from Atlassian is a cloud-hosted version control application. Although BitBucket provides self-hosted options, this course will focus on the cloud-hosted version. BitBucket can be used to provide version control for all of your software engineering assets. BitBucket provides a web-enabled interface which you can use to create and configure any number of cloud-hosted repositories.

• From CNN:
"Starbucks is closing the store in Seattle where employees were the first to vote to form a union in the chain’s home city.
"A company spokesperson cited safety concerns, saying that 'unfortunately, despite several mitigating efforts, safety and security incidents at our Broadway and Denny store have continued to escalate.' The spokesperson said that the store will be closing to customers on December 9."
However, CNN writes, "union organizers see those decisions as the company’s effort to hit back against their efforts. 'This is the most clear-cut case of retaliation this company has shown closing a union store yet,' Starbucks Workers United said in a statement on the closure. 'Starbucks and Howard Schultz are playing petty games with worker’s lives. They lack respect not only for the rights of their workers, but for the law of this country'."

So do I. The pain can be toxic buildup in the joints and cleaning the liver and gallbladder will help. When I had completely healed candida the pain was gone.

According to Rebekah Blakely, RDN, and nutritionist for The Vitamin Shoppe, you might want to consider tossing a few antioxidant superfoods into your blender.
But before we dive into why, here's a quick science class refresher on what, exactly, an antioxidant is: "Antioxidants are substances that can help protect your cells from free radical damage," Blakely says. "Free radicals are...the result of normal metabolic processes and exposure to stressors and toxins. They are unstable [molecules] because they have an uneven number of electrons, and so they can 'steal' electrons from other healthy cells in the body, causing damage."
Luckily, consuming antioxidants can help keep free radicals in check throughout your body, and they can be found in a wide range of food sources, Blakely says. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, however, Blakely notes that the CDC reports that only 1 in 10 adults eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, which ranges from 1½ to 2 cups of fruit and 2½ to 3½ cups of vegetables daily for adults.
If you're one of the nine in 10 who doesn't quite hit that amount every day, supplementation can come in handy to push you over the top—which brings us back to your soon-to-be-revised smoothie recipe.
Besides loading down your smoothie with frozen fruits, veggies, and a generous scoop of almond butter (antioxidants are also found in legumes, nuts, and seeds), Blakely has two go-to antioxidant superfoods that make great smoothie add-in's: spirulina and beetroot.
If these are new ingredients to you and your kitchen, don't stress (that can lead to more free radicals, remember?)—you can find them in beet root and spirulina powders from KOS®. Grab them from The Vitamin Shoppe®, and keep them by your blender because you're going to want to make them permanent additions to your smoothie lineup.
Keep reading for an RD-backed deep dive into these antioxidant superfoods.
Benefits of spirulina
What are the benefits of spirulina that make it such a superfood powerhouse? Of course, it's the fact that it's naturally high in antioxidants. Blakely says we can attribute that nutrient value to phycocyanin, which is the pigment that gives the algae its blue-green color.
This vibrantly colored superfood is known to help support blood oxygen circulation, which is a major perk for people who exercise frequently, as better circulation is linked to higher energy and better workout endurance.
On top of these properties, spirulina may help give your immune system some extra support with its high nutrient and antioxidant content (it also contains antioxidant vitamins and minerals including beta-carotene, vitamin E, and selenium), which helps to reduce the oxidative stress in our cells.
As if you needed another reason to add the ingredient to your smoothies, spirulina may also help support good gut health. According to Blakely, animal studies have shown spirulina can have positive effects on the balance of the gut microbiome.
One of the easiest ways to get your daily dose of spirulina is to scoop KOS® Organic Luminous Blue Spirulina Powder or KOS® Bolt Blue Spirulina Energy (which combines pure spirulina with adaptogens and caffeine from organic green coffee beans for energy and focus support) into your next smoothie. They don't call it a superfood for nothing.
Benefits of beetroot
If there are two things you know about beets, it's probably that they're red and they contain antioxidants. Okay, you might not have known about the antioxidants before now, but apparently those things do have something in common: betalain.
"Betalains are phytonutrients that give beets their red color and have been shown to provide antioxidant...support," Blakely says.
If you thought that's where beets draw the wellness-boosting line, you would be mistaken. According to Blakely, beetroot has many of the same benefits as spirulina: It may also help support healthy blood pressure, as well as as overall circulation and blood flow. Not to mention, studies show beetroot may help improve cardiorespiratory performance and increase time to exhaustion during exercise, Blakely says.
So, if you're looking for a new pre-workout situation, add one scoop of KOS® Organic Beet Root Powder to your breakfast, smoothie, or coffee. Worried about how it might taste? Blakely recommends starting with a half scoop to test out the taste, and pairing it with other beneficial ingredients like tart cherry juice or cacao powder that complement the flavor. Beet root hot chocolate, anyone?

ReachTV is America’s largest in-airport tv network, and shares authentic stories and shows with travellers around the world. When they got in touch they had an existing site with its own CMS, but wanted the flexibility of a bespoke WordPress built site, which would allow them to add shows, episodes, categories, airports, etc. to the site, all from within the CMS and with minimal faffing.
I took the existing site as a foundation and turned it into a much improved copy powered by WordPress. Then, using an AdobeXD design supplied by the client, made several improvements around the site – such as improving the airport search and adding video backgrounds. The most complex part of the build was integrating the live stream from an external API, and pulling it into a modal window on the WordPress site.
We knew travellers and advertisers around the world would be streaming video content from the site, we decided to embed the videos using Vimeo. This means that the content is hosted on Vimeo and then pulled into the site on demand, rather than clogging up the web server with huge MP4 files.
The site is likely to go through phases of design and development improvements over the coming year, as our primary goal was to get the site re-platformed, however, there are some nice features on this site which make it really engaging and a joy to use now, so if this is the starting point I’m looking forward to seeing what we do next.

RALEIGH – Though housing affordability in the Triangle worsened in recent months, the latest housing market sales data shows that housing prices may no longer be skyrocketing.
In Wake County, June had 1,807 closed home sales transactions in the residential market, with the median sale price of $474,900, according to data from Triangle Multiple Listing Service that was obtained by WRAL TechWire.
That’s a drop from the prior month, when the median price of residential property in Wake County was $485,000 on 2,332 transactions.
Still, homes are going under contract quickly. In Wake County, the average home spends five days on the open market, the data showed. That’s down from May 2022.
But there are other early signs that the market may be slowing.
Wake County real estate market sees a price pause – agents still predict prices will rise
For instance, in Durham County, across 508 residential transactions, the median sale price dipped below $400,000 in June 2022, according to the data from Triangle Multiple Listing Service obtained by WRAL TechWire.
That’s down from a median sale price across 570 properties in May 2022 of $424,250.
Buyers who are ready, willing, and able to make an offer on a property may be able to find a deal on a home that’s been listed on the market for more than two weeks, said Linda Craft, broker in charge and CEO of Linda Craft & Team, Realtors, in Raleigh, in an interview with WRAL TechWire this week.
“If a house has been for sale two weeks or more, the buyer will most likely not have to pay above asking price to win it,” said Craft. “And, yes, may get a few dollars off or a little closing cost help.”
Of course, the data may also show a slowing that would be consistent with historical norms. Take the historical data from Triangle Multiple Listing Service, TMLS. In May 2019, the median sale price was $320,420 in Wake County, and the average days on market was 24. But in June 2019, the median sale price dipped to $310,000, even though the average days on market dropped to 22.
In July 2019, the median sale price jumped back up to $317,000 in Wake County, TMLS data shows.
Home affordability takes another plunge in Raleigh – but buying demand remains strong, agents say
Buyers getting a deal?
That could be especially true this weekend, noted Craft, as holidays are usually very slow, based on historical performance.
But that also means that fewer homes are listed ahead of holidays, noted Craft, who said she expected more for sale listings after July 5.
And this week, mortgage interest rates dipped down to 5.7% on average for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, according to the latest data from Freddie Mac, despite having nearly doubled from earlier this year and hitting an annual high the prior week when average rates were 5.81%.
So, for buyers who are already active in the marketplace, it could be a good time to lock in a home contract, and lock in an interest rate, given current market conditions.
While mortgage applications are down month-over-month, said said Jon DeHart, a local mortgage broker with Movement Mortgage, there are still people buying homes every day and the purchase mortgage business remains strong in the Triangle.
“Homes are priced correctly are still selling relatively quickly when compared to historical data, however not as quickly as in the beginning of the year,” said Jon DeHart, a local mortgage broker with Movement Mortgage. “Homes now sell in weeks instead of days or less. There is a shortage of inventory in our market.”
Thinking about buying a house? Do it now as costs keep soaring, economist says
Rents still rising
But one area of housing markets that haven’t slowed? The Triangle’s rental market.
In the Raleigh-Cary metropolitan statistical area, rental growth slowed compared to last year, but growth still remains, with rents increasing last month by 1.9% according to the latest data from Apartment List. And median rental prices are up 31% since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the data shows.
What’s that mean in terms of price expectations? The median price of a two-bedroom apartment is now $1,494, according to the Apartment List data, and $1,355 for a one-bedroom apartment.
In Durham County, rents rose 2.3% in the most recent month compared to the prior month of data, Apartment List found. And rents are up 27.6% in the county from March 2020, with the median price of a two-bedroom apartment now $1,467 and a one-bedroom apartment at $1,222.
Triangle’s apartment crunch worsens – vacancy down, and price of rent jumps 20%
“It still comes down to supply and demand,” said Jim Allen, broker in charge of the Jim Allen Group, in an interview with WRAL TechWire this week. “Demand is at an all time high and supply at an all time low.”
And, noted Allen, investors are still active in the Triangle, whether they’re looking to buy and hold the property and convert it into a rental property given the strong recent rent growth, or those who are looking to repair or renovate a property and resell it, which is called flipping.
“Investors will continue to purchase everything they can buy,” said Allen, noting that institutional investors, who are active in the Triangle, often aren’t as concerned about mortgage interest rates.
“Investors buy new to rent is at an all time high,” Allen also noted, adding that the time to build a new home has also increased in recent months due to supply chain shortages and a changing local labor market. “Despite our best efforts to supply more new homes, we are still falling woefully short.”

The Saints are set to ban the supporters over the incident at St Mary’s during Saturday’s Premier League fixture
Southampton are planning to hand bans to any supporters found to have made sickening gestures towards Cardiff City supporters mocking the death of Emiliano Sala.
Two Saints fans were caught on camera spreading their arms and appearing to make aeroplane gestures during Saturday’s Premier League match.
Cardiff were playing their first game since it was confirmed their £15million signing had died in a plane crash.
A minute’s silence had been impeccably observed as part of the tributes before kick-off at the game, which the Welsh side went on to win 2-1 with Kenneth Zohore’s dramatic goal in the third minute of stoppage time.
However, video later emerged on social media of two men in the home section of the stadium apparently making aeroplane gestures in the direction of the away fans.
Southampton confirmed both supporters had been spoken to by Hampshire Police and intended to take “an extremely firm stance” over the incident.
A statement issued on Saturday evening read: “Southampton Football Club can confirm that two fans were detained and had their details taken by police during our match against Cardiff City on Saturday.
“The club will continue to work with Hampshire Police to identify any individuals deemed to have made indecent gestures towards Cardiff supporters.
“Such behaviour has no place in our game and will not be tolerated at St Mary’s.
“The club will be taking an extremely firm stance against anyone involved and intends to ban those supporters identified.”
Sol Bamba dedicated his goal and victory to Sala after helping Cardiff to all three points on the south coast.
The Ivorian defender, whose goal celebrations were emotional after opening the scoring, told Sky Sports: “It has been a tough couple of weeks. We knew we had to give our all today. It wasn’t easy but a performance like this was very pleasing.
“A lot of things were going through my mind. I knew Emiliano. I know he was looking up there. The victory and the goal is for him.”

UEFA has denied banning rainbow flags from the Euro 2020 fanzone and stadium in Budapest.
There have been reports of supporters in the Hungarian capital for the Holland v Czech Republic last-16 clash having flags confiscated by security staff.
European governing body UEFA insists this is not because they have banned the internationally-recognised symbol of LGBT pride at venues.
UEFA has even pointed out that it has requested that the Hungarian Football Federation allow rainbow flags to be taken into the Puskas Arena for the game.
It says flags are also welcome at fanzones too but the control for such areas is managed by “local authorities”.
A statement read: “UEFA had earlier today informed the Hungarian Football Federation that that rainbow-coloured symbols are not political and that, in line with UEFA’s Equal Game campaign, which aims at fighting against any type of discrimination, including against the LGBTQI+ community, such flags will be allowed into the stadium.
“Contrary some reports in Dutch media, UEFA would like to clarify that it has not banned any rainbow-coloured symbols from the fanzone in Budapest and that the fanzone is under the responsibility of the local authorities.
“UEFA, on the contrary, would very much welcome any such symbol into the fanzone.”
These issues come after UEFA controversially turned down a request from the mayor of Munich to have the Allianz Arena lit up in rainbow colours ahead of last Wednesday’s game between Germany and Hungary.
The proposal was made a few days after the Hungarian parliament passed a new law banning the promotion of homosexuality or gender reassignment to under-18s.
UEFA said that whilst the rainbow symbol itself was apolitical, the request was political as it came in response to a decision taken by the Hungarian parliament. It therefore felt it had to reject the request.
Holland captain Georginio Wijnaldum, who said earlier this week he would be prepared to take players off the field if they suffer discriminatory abuse, wore a ‘One Love’ armband during the game in Hungary.
“He tweeted: “In today’s match I’ll wear a #OneLove captains armband to emphasize that we stand for inclusiveness and connection. We are against any form of exclusion and discrimination. We hope to support everyone who feels discriminated against across the world.”


Two U.S. senators have introduced legislation that would let Tricare waive prescription drug copayments for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or other national emergency.
Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., proposed the Tricare Prescriptions Relief Act bill Wednesday to provide financial help for active-duty and retiree families experiencing unexpected increases in prescription drug costs during the pandemic.

Military families and retirees who use on-base pharmacies have no copayments for prescriptions at those facilities. But they do share the cost of their prescriptions at civilian retail stores and through Tricare’s mail-order system.
The bill would let DoD waive those fees, which range from $10 to $60 for a 90-day drug supply by mail, and from $11 to $60 for a 30-day prescription at a retail pharmacy. That waiver would stay in effect during the pandemic or other national emergency as declared by the federal government.
“In the wake of a widespread disaster like a hurricane or global pandemic, our military service members, veterans, and their families should not have to worry about how they will continue to afford life saving treatments,” Wicker said in a release.
“Ensuring Arizona Tricare recipients can receive their prescriptions outside of military clinics at no added cost helps keep Arizona military families and retirees safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic,” said Sinema.
A similar bill has been introduced in the House by two Democrats, Reps. Elaine Luria of Virginia and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware.
At the height of social distancing measures during the coronavirus pandemic, Defense Health Agency officials encouraged Tricare beneficiaries to switch to mail order, which carries lower copayments than retail stores and offers the convenience of home delivery.
Base restrictions and reduced staffing also made it more difficult for some beneficiaries to pick up prescriptions at military pharmacies. Although some established temporary drive-up or curbside service or changed hours to accommodate patients, some limited operations only to active-duty personnel or closed temporarily.
Beneficiaries who also take medications needed for COVID-19 patients and use mail order also saw some of their copayments triple when Tricare limited prescriptions of certain drugs to a 30-day supply. Previously, beneficiaries could receive a 90-day supply of these medications for the same copay.
Defense officials announced in May that it would limit prescriptions of albuterol and levalbuterol, also known by the brand names ProAir, Proventil, Ventolin and Xopenex, as well as hydroxychloroquine, also known as Plaquenil, to prevent shortages.
Tricare beneficiaries also told Military.com that other medications were on the limited supply list, such as fluticasone, also known as Flovent or Flonase. The corticosteroid reduces inflammation of the nasal passages.
Retired Marine Corps Maj. Mike Snyder said he received a 60-day supply, rather than his usual 90-day supply, without warning.
“I only get a two-month supply and then I have to renew in 30 days for another two-month supply as long as this restriction is in place. What that means is that I will pay two copays and only get half the product I’m supposed to,” Snyder said.
The bills circulating in the House and Senate would give DoD the “flexibility they need to waive cost sharing requirements,” since the department is not allowed by law to change Tricare copayments.
But they would not require the DoD to waive the fees, and, if made into law and the Pentagon decided to institute the copayment waiver, would not be retroactive.
Still, with no end in sight for the national emergency and when planning for future disasters, DoD should have the ability to change the copays if needed, the lawmakers said.
“Forcing our service men and women to make the decision between saving money and their health is wrong,” Blunt Rochester said. “This is the least we can do for those who have served our nation.”

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- J.D. Martinez was at the Red Sox’ facility on Wednesday, and a press conference to introduce him could come later in the day (or possibly Thursday). NBC Sports Boston analyst Lou Merloni reported manager Alex Cora has given up his No. 28 for Martinez.
David Price was teammates with Martinez in Detroit, and had high remarks about the Red Sox soon-to-be DH on Wednesday morning.
MORE ON MARTINEZ
“Great teammate. Great player obviously. Tons of power,” Price said. “Being with him in Detroit in 2014 and the first half of 2015, watching the way he swung the bat and just power to all fields. He really took after Miggy’s [Miguel Cabrera’s] approach when he was in Detroit and it did wonders for him. He’s going to drive the ball to right field, right center, if the pitcher makes a mistake with the breaking ball he’s going to hit that to left field. So he’s fun to watch, a great dude, a really good acquisition.”
Price believes Martinez can handle Boston’s scrutiny.
“Yeah. You got my vote,” Price said. “He’s different than me. So it’s good.
“Go play baseball. Just go be yourself. Go be the hitter he’s been ever since I think it was 2014 when he had that breakout season in Detroit. He’s a great dude. He’s quiet. He’s going to go about his business and he’s going to hit a lot of homers for us.”
New Red Sox manager Alex Cora has announced that, as expected, left-hander Chris Sale will be the Opening Day starter when the Red Sox begin their season nine days from now against the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla. David Price will pitch the second game and Rick Porcello the third.
Cora told reporters in Fort Myers, Fla. that Eduardo Rodriguez would be in the fourth starter's spot if he's ready as he continues to recover from off-season knee surgery and left-hander Brian Johnson is preparing to be the fifth starter for now.
In Price's second Grapefruit League start on Tuesday, he pitched five innings and allowed two runs on three hits, walked one and struck out four in the Red Sox' 12-6 victory over the Pirates. Third baseman Rafael Devers, hitting .349 this spring, hit his third home run of the spring. Andrew Benintendi (.405) had a double and two RBI and first baseman Sam Travis drove in three.
Sale had a much rougher outing Monday, giving up four runs on five hits, with three walks and six strikeouts in five innings against the Phillies.
Mookie Betts and Aaron Judge are about to go global.
Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy on Monday confirmed the Sox are interested to play the Yankees in London during next year's regular season. Bloomberg reported the clubs are nearing an agreement to play two games there in June 2019. Discussions are indeed taking place, but a deal is not done.

“We would love to participate in a series in London against the Yankees but this is a decision that MLB and the MLBPA will make," Sox CEO Sam Kennedy said.
Bloomberg reported the games would be played at London Stadium, which was the main facility for the 2012 summer Olympics.
MLB has not played any games in Europe before. The Red Sox have made trips before, including to Japan before the 2008 season.

To understand what nesting is, you need to know that databases are programmed to give AND precedence over OR. This means that terms linked with AND will be searched before those linked with OR. Nesting is a technique that can be used to override this default search order.
Nesting is using parentheses ( ) to specify the order in which a search should be processed. Search terms within parentheses will be found first and then combined with the search terms outside the parentheses.
The most common use of nesting is to enclose multiple search terms -- separated by an OR operator -- in parentheses and then linking those enclosed terms with one or more other search term(s) using AND.
This not only works in databases, but also in (most) search engines:
Library databases typically provide drop-down boxes ➊ containing the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT.
How would a database process the above search?

What’s happening readers! On Tuesday night I attended an early screening of The Black Phone, the latest horror thriller from Blumhouse Productions. In this film a small town in Colorado is being plagued by a serial killer dubbed “The Grabber”, who abducts and murders boys. 5 boys have been abducted already and when Finney encounters The Grabber he ends up drugged and locked in a basement. Finney’s sister Gwen starts to have dreams that could help but the visions are quick flashes and she isn’t taken seriously until the police realize Gwen isn’t making up stories. Finney’s future is looking grim however he receives a call from a disconnected phone that may prove to be his salvation.
I liked The Black Phone. It didn’t knock me out of my seat but the story is chilling and the leads did a good job. Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw are impressive as Finney and Gwen. Gwen is tough and steals the scene a couple of times. Ethan Hawke is super creepy as The Grabber. Those eerie masks he wears added to the horror of the character. The Black Phone gave me Stephen King vibes and it was amusing to find out King’s son Joe Hill wrote the short story of the same name. I recommend checking this film, especially if you are a fan of the supernatural. Go on discount day. The screening was a good time but you don’t need to spend more than 8 bucks on this one.
I’ve been a fan of A24 and their films since 2015 when I saw Ex Machina in the theater. Since then, I’ve hit the theater to watch a few of their releases and even added some A24 films to my collection. When I saw the trailer for X, I was in. It looked creepy and I liked the old school grindhouse style it was shot in. I hit AMC to check out X last Thursday. I was a tad disappointed once the credits started rolling but we’ll come back to that…..
The film follows a small production crew who are using an elderly couple’s farmhouse to film an adult movie. Wayne, the film’s producer, thinks this movie will take the home video market by storm and make millions. The owner of the farmhouse does not like this group of strangers using his place, but he needs the money, and he tells the crew they better not bother his wife. Filming commences and things seems to be going well but the crew doesn’t know that they are being watched and when the sun goes down things turn for the worse. It gets bloody. Super bloody. The question is who will make it through the night? DUN DUNN DUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
When the film was finished I looked at a buddy of mine who was with me and said “All that happened because of THAT? BOOOOOOOO!!” We laughed. This doesn’t mean I didn’t like the film. I thought each cast member played their part well on screen and it’s cool to see Jenna Ortega becoming a “Scream Queen” (she also stars in Scream (2022) and Studio 666). I appreciated the filming style. It looked like a movie that was shot in the late 70s. The gore…..on point for the most part. There was a death scene that I found to be silly and predictable but other death scenes made me say “DANNNNNNGGGGG”. The story/plot really didn’t move me though. I thought the motivation behind the killings was ridiculous. So ridiculous to the point that it made me chuckle. X was cool enough but not a movie I’ll rush to see again. More of a one and done as far as watching in the theater. I don’t see myself buying a copy either. I was talking to someone about not liking the story and his response was “I probably won’t see it now.” DON’T BE LIKE THAT!! I NEVER tell anyone not to see a movie. I will say if you are interested in seeing X and you haven’t yet then see it on discount day. If you don’t use a theater subscription service you don’t need to pay more than 7 bucks to see this film.
What’s happening readers! My first early screening of 2022 is in the books and it was a fun one!! Johnny Knoxville, Steve-0, and the rest of the Jackass gang are back at it and it’s been almost 20 years since the original Jackass movie. I was fresh out of high school when that hit theaters in 2002 and the antics were much crazier than what could be shown on the tv show. I remember laughing, cringing, and gagging. Then they made more movies and pushed the craziness and disgusting acts further. I recently bought the Jackass collection so I revisited 1-3 before I went to the screening of Forever. I forgot about some of those scenes……WHHHHEEEEWWW!!! I understand doing stupid things with your friends but snorting wasabi….NOPE! Purposely inflicting pain to my junk….NOPE! The port-o-potty sling slot….OH HECK NO!!!!!! It’s crazy to watch though. Either you’re a Jackass fan or you’re not. If you are then Forever will be a good time and there are some new faces to the bunch. The old timers did them dirty in some of these scenes! There wasn’t a lot of people in the screening audience but we laughed together and “OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH’D” together. I heard some gagging as well. Forever dialed down the nastiness compared to the previous entries but there’s plenty of bodily fluids flying around and one scene really grossed me out. I was eating trail mix and I had to stop for a few seconds. Like this guy really did that. EWWWW!!! Forever featured A LOT of junk. Full frontal junk. If you’ve seen any of the Jackass films then you know the guys use their privates for gags and Steve-O does something INSANE in Forever. I was bug eyed watching that scene. Forever gave me that nostalgic feeling and it’s wild because with every Jackass movie you can feel the hurt and see the disgust but the cast always has good time. This is definitely fan service for all of us who been there since the beginning. Check it out on a discount day if you have theaters open in your area.
Happy 2022 readers!! 2021 has come to an end but it was a fun cinematic year for me. I was in the theater close to 90 times this past year and for the most part the theaters were empty. I visited Washington State for the first time and watched a couple of movies out there. Fun times! The early screenings slowed down because of covid but I still was able to hit up a few earlier in the year. I saw my top film of the year at an early Dolby screening. More on that in a few. I went to a 24 hour “horrorthon” in Phoenixville, PA. That was a first and a great experience. I’ll drop some more details on that event and another event I attended but first…..My Top Ten of 2021!
1) Summer Of Soul: This documentary highlights the Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969. The footage had been sitting on ice for over 50 years but thanks to artist Questlove (making his directorial debut) and a few others it was brought to life. I loved it! I got to screen the film in Dolby Cinema and that music hit! I was dancing in my seat throughout the film. The opening performance by Stevie Wonder was WOW!! The culture, the music, the unity and the love was beautiful. Several artists that performed there are still alive so to hear their accounts put a smile on my face. This film is streaming on Hulu. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed. See my live review here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CQr9CZdHH4O/
2) Judas And The Black Messiah: The final years of Fred Hampton, a young leader of a Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, were chronicled in this film. Hampton became a target of a FBI smear campaign and they also recruited thief turned informant William O’Neal to infiltrate the Panther’s ranks. O’Neal ended up working closely with Hampton before Hampton was murdered in a raid led by the FBI and local law enforcement in 1969. He was only 21. I knew some information about Hampton going into this film but what I learned was harrowing. Hampton succeeded at creating unity among Chicago street gangs but his activism was portrayed as a threat. It’s an eye opening movie with strong performances. Daniel Kayuula won an Oscar for his portrayal as Fred Hampton.
3) Raya And The Last Dragon: This beautifully animated action adventure follows Raya, a young warrior who is trying to undo a curse that plagued her homeland and turned people into stone. In order to do that she has to find the last dragon Sisu, who holds the mystical power that can break the curse. I really enjoyed this movie. The story had a great message about trust and Raya goes super hard!! You don’t want to make her mad. It was a fun time in the theater and eye popping in Dolby Cinema. Some of those scenes looked real! I loved Raya’s dragon sword! Check this one out on Disney+
4) Spider-Man: No Way Home: The latest Spidey flick is killing the box office!! One of the few flicks from this year where the theater was packed. This movie starts right where Far From Home ends and Spidey has to figure out how to navigate life as a super-hero and a high school senior after Mysterio revealed his identity to the world. When Peter goes to Doc Strange for help things get…..complicated. This was an awesome shared experience in the theater. We cheered together! We were sad together! Last time I felt that was Avengers: Endgame. The action is on point and Tom Holland has really come into his own as Spidey. The nostalgia made me cheer! I’ve seen this movie 4 times and I recommend seeing it in premium format if you haven’t done so already. I’ll be putting together a full review on this film so stay tuned for that.
5) One Night In Miami: Regina King’s fantastic directorial debut was adapted from the play of the same name. It had a limited released at the end of 2020 but the wide streaming release was January 2021 so I counted it here. In this film Malcolm X, Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Muhammad Ali meet after Ali became the world heavyweight boxing champ in 1964. The meeting was fictionalized but these men all knew each other. I appreciated the dialogue and the acting from the four leads. Leslie Odom’s performance as Sam Cooke was the standout for me. It’s streaming on Amazon Prime. Check it out if you have the opportunity.
6) Justice League: The Snyder Cut: It’s crazy how the Snyder Cut went from a rumor to a hash tagged movement to a 4K in my collection. People subscribed to HBOMAX solely for this film! It was wild. I didn’t hate the 2017 cut but it was disappointing. That cgi on Cavill’s face…BIG WOOF!!! I do have the steelbook of the 2017 version because the case design is awesome. HAHA. I’m glad the money and time was put into restoring Snyder’s original vision for this movie. The humor was toned down and the story was thorough. Steppenwolf looked much better than he did in 2017 and Darkseid was scary!! I didn’t think this needed to be 15 hours (kidding) but I was impressed with the final product. I still want to see a solo Ben Affleck Batman film….
7) King Richard: I’m expecting Will Smith to be back in Oscar contention for his portrayal of Richard Williams, father and coach of Venus and Serena Williams. This film highlights the beginning of the Williams’ journey into becoming 2 of thee best tennis players…EVER!! Richard was fully dedicated to his daughters and didn’t back down in the face of adversity and people telling him 2 black girls from Compton wouldn’t make it in the tennis world. It was cool seeing the 90s recreated. I grew up in that time so the nostalgia was fun. Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton were amazing as Venus and Serena. Both actresses played their roles well and it was quite heartwarming. My favorite line from this film is when Richard told Serena that Venus would become the best tennis player in the world. Then he told Serena that she would be the G.O.A.T….greatest of all time. He didn’t lie!
8) A Quiet Place Part II: This chilling thrill ride takes place right where the first ends and we see the surviving members of the Abbott family seeking new shelter to hide from the monsters that hunt by sound. This movie brought large numbers of people to the theater and the shared silence was a fun experience. I liked the addition of Cillian Murphy to the cast and how the story reveals some new information even though it didn’t hit me as hard as the original. That opening flashback scene was INSANE!!
9) Psycho Goreman: I have to thank my pals at the Quality Time Podcast for this recommendation. Psycho Goreman is what you get when you put Power Rangers and horror movie gore in a blender. This movie was a trip! I loved how silly and super bloody it is. In one scene a sword was made out of body parts. Gotta love it!!
10) Candyman (2021): I wasn’t a huge fan of the original Candyman movie growing up. I love the horror genre but Candyman didn’t resonate with me like some of the other popular slashers did. My interest sparked when I heard about this new film so I went back and watched the previous Candyman entries so I could have the story and lore fresh in my head. Candyman 2021 is a direct sequel to the original film so it doesn’t regard the Candyman sequels Farewell To The Flesh (good flick) and Day Of The Dead (not a good flick). In this movie an artist/photographer named Anthony finds out about the Candyman story after taking photos of the old Cabrini-Green projects and becomes obsessed. His obsession opens the door for Candyman to return and that’s when people who know Anthony get killed….HORRIBLY! The thrills and gore in this movie are awesome! I enjoyed the social implications of the story and how the history of Candyman was opened up. BRAVO BRAVO to Nia DaCosta on being the first black female director to have a film take the number 1 spot on opening weekend. Hoping to see a follow up in the near future.
Even though these films didn’t make my Top Ten I highly recommend them: Nobody, Zola, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, The Suicide Squad, Harder They Fall, Coming 2 America, Batman: The Long Halloween, Paw Patrol: The Movie, The Fear Street Trilogy, Malignant, Free Guy, Encanto, Cop Shop
These films were entertaining but didn’t knock me out my seat: Batman: Soul Of The Dragon, The Forever Purge, Black Widow, Boss Level, Godzilla vs Kong, Mortal Kombat, Wrath of Man, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Halloween Kills, The Matrix Resurrections, Last Night in Soho, Don’t Look Up, Bruised, No Time To Die
These films were okay: The Marksman, Willy’s Wonderland, Justice Society: WWII, Eternals, Don’t Breathe 2, Death Rider In The House Of Vampires, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, The Last Duel, Injustice, Antlers, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The King’s Man
Disappointing: The Little Things, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (I need to rewatch this), Prisoners Of The Ghostland, Home Sweet Home Alone, In The Earth
Classics I revisited in the theater: Evil Dead, Scream, Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, Return Of The Living Dead, A Christmas Story, Stripes.
Films from 2021 I still need to see: Nezha, The Green Knight, West Side Story, Pig, 8-Bit Christmas, Sing 2
Major shout out to The Mahoning Drive In and The Colonial Theatre!! Check them out on social media. The Mahoning hosted Freddy Fest 3 and the second day of the Fest took place on my birthday. I got to watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3 on a drive-in screen. That was awesome!! Nightmare 3 is my fav of the series. Thank you to the lovely ladies Jeanna and Rita for spoiling me on my birthday. The Colonial hosted Horrorthon 14, which was 24 hours (15 films) of horror and macabre!! It was a fantastic experience. Big ups to Brandon, Madison, and Scott!! We came, we saw, we survived!!!
In closing 2021 was a wild cinematic year. Between the theater and at home I watched over 700 films and I had great experiences with family and friends. I want to send a HUGE thank you to all the fans and followers of the Movies With Migs pages on Facebook and IG. I appreciate your continued support and cinematic discussions. Mad love to the entire Defy Life family/network!!! Thank you for the platform and all the support! Here’s to a great 2022!!

Bruce Langereis camped on grass at the edge of a parking lot near the liquor store since Wednesday Nov. 4 to buy the ultra-rare bottle. How rare – this was the only bottle of 50 year old Glenfiddich for sale in Canada at the time.
After making sure he was first inline he bought the rare single malt for $36,000. The ultra-rare single malt is one of only 50 bottles available worldwide this year, and the only one to be sold in Canada.
The shop which sold the whisky – Signature BC Liquor Stores in Vancouver – warned buyers to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Bruce Langereis did not want to be disappointed so arrived four days early with a tent and a big wallet.
Bruce Langereis plans to sell the “showcase spirit” at his Rosewood Hotel Georgia’s Prohibition Bar.


Spin qubits in semiconductors are a promising platform for producing highly scalable quantum computing devices. However, it is difficult to realize multiqubit interactions over extended distances. Superconducting spin qubits provide an alternative by encoding a qubit in the spin degree of freedom of an Andreev level. These Andreev spin qubits have an intrinsic spin–supercurrent coupling that enables the use of recent advances in circuit quantum electrodynamics. The first realization of an Andreev spin qubit encoded the qubit in the excited states of a semiconducting weak link, leading to frequent decay out of the computational subspace. Additionally, rapid qubit manipulation was hindered by the need for indirect Raman transitions. Here we use an electrostatically defined quantum dot Josephson junction with large charging energy, which leads to a spin-split doublet ground state. We tune the qubit frequency over a frequency range of 10 GHz using a magnetic field, which also enables us to investigate the qubit performance using direct spin manipulation. An all-electric microwave drive produces Rabi frequencies exceeding 200 MHz. We embed the Andreev spin qubit in a superconducting transmon qubit, demonstrating strong coherent qubit–qubit coupling. These results are a crucial step towards a hybrid architecture that combines the beneficial aspects of both superconducting and semiconductor qubits.

Francis Adjei Producer, Echoes of Incarceration


MANILA, April 10, 2011—The Manila Metropolitan Cathedral is celebrating its 30th anniversary as a Basilica on April 27 with the unveiling of a Marker containing a Papal Declaration of the Manila Cathedral as a Basilica at 5:30 p.m., according to an archdiocesan circular.
Chancellor of Manila archdiocese, Fr. Rufino Sescon said that together with the unveiling of Marker will be the blessings and inaugurations of the Rufino J. Cardinal Santos Bell Garden; Jaime L. Cardinal Sin Ground Belfry; Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes Audio-Visual Room/Souvenir Shop and Manila Cathedral Basilica Carillon Bells.
The Misa ng Arsobispo and the 30th anniversary logo will be launched during the 6 p.m. Mass. The message of the Holy Father will be read and plaques of appreciation will be distributed to donors also during the Eucharistic celebration.
It is said that during Pope John Paul II’s visit to the Philippines in February 1981, he personally expressed his wish to then Jaime Cardinal Sin that the Manila Cathedral become a Basilica.
On April 27, 1981, Pope John Paul II issued a Papal Bull raising the status and dignity of the Manila Cathedral into a Minor Basilica. (CBCPNews)
Quick question me dear TPC readers.
Does your church have a belfry, church bell?
Does it still ring?
You know Modernists hate the bell.
Just like demons.

Do you know that feeling of being young, full of energy, and looking forward to all the exciting things that the future holds such as getting our driver license, our own place, and maybe even getting children? Feeling like you got all the time in the world you’ll ever need?
Most of us do. But reality is often bittersweet. It’s true that the future can hold great things for us, and we can certainly influence our future. Yet, time isn’t unlimited. Before long, we will all be gone from this planet.
That doesn’t mean that life holds no meaning, since there are the people we hold dear like our family and close friends who are worth living for. But it does mean that time is precious, and that you shouldn’t squander your time.
Let me explain why you shouldn’t squander your time.
Why you shouldn't squander your time in life
Time is limited
Don’t squander your time because we only have a finite period of time on this earth. Thus, it’s important that we accomplish all the things we want to achieve during this one lifetime we get to experience.
On that same note, because our time alive is so short, it also makes it our most precious commodity. There’s nothing more valuable on earth, together with our health. We can always make money, but we can never get time back. So time is precious, don’t waste it.
Less energy the older we get
Not only that, but when we get older, we typically possess less energy than when we are still young. That’s why it’s easier to achieve challenging things when we’re still young and full of vigor.
When we’re young, we tend to feel like we’re invincible, and like we got all the time in the world. We’re looking forward to being done with school, earning our driver license, and living on our own away from our sometimes meddling parents.
But this is mostly a lie. We’re not invincible, we don’t have all the time in the world, school was usually not all that bad, and our parents typically want the best for us and have a lot more lived experience than we do. That’s also why they’re often right.
Use your short amount of time available to do something meaningful that you love
Time is precious, waste it wisely.
Spend your time doing things that you love. Build something that you value, and that you’re willing to suffer for. Strive for excellence instead of being mediocre.
Does that mean that you should compare yourself to all your peers? No. But it does mean that you should attempt to be the best possible version of yourself. That will literally benefit you personally, and everyone else around you.
But thinking about the short and limited amount of time we have on this planet can make us feel anxious, and can even trigger a primal fear of death. Yet, there are also good things that can come forth from it.
It can motivate us, and serve as an incentive to actively work toward achieving our dreams. Furthermore, thinking about our finite time and mortality can actually reduce anxiety, and make us less afraid of dying in the process.
Don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t value you
Don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t value you. Why would you even spend energy on the folks who don’t care for you, and who wouldn’t help you in times of need? These aren’t what I consider good friends.
There are billions of people walking this earth. Each with their own unique personality and ethics. Thus, it’s only normal that some don’t align with our beliefs and ethics, while others do.
Don’t even consider wasting your precious time on those who don’t value you for the person you are. If they don’t, then it’s their loss. Make it a point to search for people who do appreciate you and try to improve your life.
Don’t waste time trying to get people to like you
If people don’t like you for the person who you truly are, then is it really worth trying to desperately keep such folks in your life?
In my eyes, you’re better off without them. If you stay true to yourself, then the right people will automatically flock to you, while the wrong ones will walk out of your life on their own accord.
Not to mention that trying to get people to like you will never work out in the long run. It’s impossible to keep up a mask for your entire life. Eventually, the cracks in the armor would start to show.
There would always be those who would still dislike you for the simple fact that you’re trying to impress others and trying to get them to like you.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What does don’t waste your time mean?
It also conveys that life is short, and that our time on this earth is limited. Because it’s such a limited resource, it means that time is precious. Thus, it motivates us to do things that are priceless and essential to us instead of fretting over things we can’t change, or don’t have.
Synonyms of don’t waste your time
Popular synonyms include don’t squander your time, and time is precious, don’t waste it.
The wording might be slightly different, but the meaning remains the same.
Time is precious, waste it wisely explained
Time is precious, waste it wisely conveys that everything we do during our lives is consuming time. And since our time is limited, we should waste it wisely, which means we should pick something we care about and find valuable enough to spend that time on.
Since time is such a valuable good, we should think thoroughly about what we find important enough in life to ‘waste’ it on. Obviously, it isn’t really wasting, since we find value and importance in what we’re doing. But time is continually passing by, stopping for no one. And we don’t have that much time to spend during our lifetimes.
That doesn’t mean that everything needs to be fun, since we will have to do some things we don’t necessarily enjoy in order to reap the fruits of success. You don’t get to choose not to suffer, but you get to choose what you suffer for.
Why is time called precious?
Time is called precious because we can never get it back once it’s gone. It’s also something we never have enough of since there’s so much to do, learn, and explore in life.
A lot of things that we consider valuable in existence can be recovered. Money can be regained, bonds can be rebuilt, trust can be restored, and most injuries can be recovered from, to give some examples.
But the time that’s passed by is effectively gone forever. Time keeps going forward, never backwards.
Furthermore, a precious time doesn’t last forever. It’s only an enjoyable tiny speck in time and space that we should value, since good times aren’t everlasting, and we will all return to the dust one day.
Why is time so special?
Who said, “time is precious, so waste it wisely?”
K Bromberg said, “time is precious. Waste it wisely.” She did so in her romance called ‘Slow Burn’.
She’s a writer who’s born in the United States.
Is money or time more important?
Both are important in modern society. But depending on your lifestyle and your needs, money becomes much less significant.
Money can ‘always’ be regained through working hard, and making many hours. I’m not saying that it isn’t hard, or more difficult than if you still had some money left, but it can be done.
However, time can’t be recovered, no matter what we do. This holds true for both the rich and poor individuals in society.
Nevertheless, money allows us to buy many things we consider valuable and essential, such as a house and a cellphone.
Time is a valuable and limited resource. As such, we should make it a point to fill our days doing things we find important and actually enjoy doing.
Time is precious, and that’s why you should waste it wisely. Technically, all we do is wasting time. That’s why we should think very carefully about what we ‘waste’ that time on.
Better on things that will benefit us in the future, such as working out, and eating healthy, rather than doing stuff that will be detrimental in the future. Think of things such as drinking too much alcohol and eating a lot of junk food.
Remember that close friends and family will always make life worth living for. But without people we care about, life is just something to get over with.
Call to action
Figure out what you find crittical and worth pursuing in life. Make sure to have a good social network consisting of close friends and a caring family in order to have something to live for other than yourself.
Chase your dreams and goals, since we typically experience the most guilt and regret about the things we didn’t do, rather than the mistakes we made in the process.
Know that time is limited, but that rather than feeling the dread and anxiety of our looming death, we should use that knowledge to motivate us to apply ourselves in order to reach our noble goals.

Chandigarh: The Union Government on Wednesday approved the much anticipated 4/6 laned national highway between Kharar and Ludhiana. The NH-95 Kharar Ludhiana highway will be constructed at a cost of Rs 2069 crores.
The new project is expected to give a boost to the incumbent SAD-BJP combine in the run up to the elections in 2017. Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal had for long been drumming up support for the project. He had met Union minister Nitin Gadkari in this regard on multiple occasions in the past.
Taking exception to the development, the Congress party on the other hand has termed it as a last-ditch effort to entice the voters ahead of the elections.
