Remembering the passage of the Soto-Enrile Accords
January 21, 2021
The Human Rights Violations Victims’ Memorial Commission remembers the struggles of students and the youth for their civil rights and liberties.
From 1972-1986, at least 11,103 persons became victims of state-induced human rights violations. Countless instances of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances were inflicted upon the citizens of the Philippines upon mere suspicion of criminal character – sometimes upon mere criticism of the government. Many of them included students and teachers – some arbitrarily arrested, abducted and detained from within their own campuses.
A constant stream of reports from both local and international organizations would result in increasing foreign pressure on Marcos to improve the situation and uphold promises for democratic reform. To present his compliance, the President formally lifted Proclamation 1081, which had placed the country under Martial Law, on January 17, 1981. This was timed with the inauguration of Ronald Raegan as the new president of the United States of America, and the visit of Pope John Paul II to the Philippines in the following month. The lifting of Martial Law however was only made in name. Marcos retained all martial law decrees, orders, and law-making powers granted to him by the 1973 constitution. He also retained the right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for crimes “related to subversion, insurrection, rebellion,” including conspiracy to commit such crimes.
Challenging this status quo, members of the youth were mobilized into a series of protests. A nationwide boycott was successfully organized with the help of the League of Filipino Students (LFS), then led by Sonia Soto, to challenge what was called a “paper-lifting” of Martial Law. The cost of education was still rising, and those who expressed opposition or criticisms against the government were still subject to arrest and detainment.
Nationwide protests continued despite the jailing and arrest of many student activists during the boycott. Following the arrest of nine others at Liwasang Bonifacio, Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile alongside military officials entered into a dialogue with the students on October 21. The position of the Department of National Defense vis-à-vis their meeting was put on record in a document addressed to Soto as Chairperson of the LFS, to Manny Ceneta as Chairman of the Youth for Nationalism and Democracy, and to J.V. Bautista as President of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines. The document was also sent to the University of the Philippines Student Council – which had only just been reestablished in the previous year.
The Department agreed to pull out police detachments inside school campuses. These would be kept outside of campuses instead to enforce law and order and protect the premises and students from criminal elements. Police authorities may only enter campuses to deal with crimes actually being committed. Only uniformed policemen may be employed if entry into school campuses becomes necessary or justified.
They also committed not to interfere with peaceful student protest actions inside of campuses. No force or violence would be employed by both sides in such actions – only reasonable force would be employed by lawmen if warranted. Only uniformed policemen would be employed to enforce the law during demonstrations and rallies. It was also agreed upon that the parties would coordinate and give due notice to police authorities regarding plans to hold demonstrations or rallies, and formalize guidelines to govern their relationship during demonstrations.
The document ends acknowledging that law enforcement authorities had been formally appraised in writing of the same policies, to which the Department of National Defense binds itself. The same would be reiterated when the U.P. Campus and DND entered into accords in 1989 under Fidel V. Ramos. Based on the language on record, it should be noted that the Soto-Enrile agreements applied to all school campuses in general.
The passage of the 1981 accords under Martial Rule is a feat that ought to be remembered and respected. It is a reminder that students, the youth, and by extension we as a nation have rights which the state is bound to uphold. They are protections for succeeding generations to live and develop our country’s future. The same youth and future have the most to lose if such protections are shoved aside as was done in the past. To this end, we remember the role which the youth continues to play at the forefront of human rights advocacy – the bedrocks of a free and democratic nation.

Governor Scott Walker wants to turn the Department of Natural Resources board into an advisory panel for the agency’s secretary. Walker delivered his 2015-2017 budget address on Tuesday. Details about the DNR board came to light on Wednesday.
George Meyer, executive director of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation and a former DNR secretary under then Governor Tommy Thompson, says he’s a “very strong supporter” of having a board that is a decision-making body on policy regarding conservation and environmental issue.
“It really allows greater citizen participation in decision making,” he says, and the current method involves less bureaucracy and promotes more transparency.
Meyer says average citizens currently can “have their day in court,” so-to-speak, on issues related to the outdoors.
Under Walker’s proposal, the governor would control the agency via its secretary, who is appointed by the governor.
The League of Conservation Voters released a statement late Wednesday:
“The very last thing Wisconsin needs when it comes to natural resource management is more politics guiding the decisions. This is a purely political maneuver with no fiscal impact. Governor Walker may have thought he could sneak this by the voters of Wisconsin, but I don’t think it’s going to fly under the radar. Hunters and anglers, hikers and bikers, land trust advocates and birders all have fought in the past to keep politics out of natural resource decisions. I don’t think it will be any different with this terrible proposal,” said Anne Sayers, Program Director.
Conservationists look forward to working with legislators toward a state budget that solves these and other proposals in Governor Walker’s budget that negatively impact Wisconsin’s air, land, and water.
The state legislature will examine the budget in the coming months.

My wonderful husband convinced me to go camping this weekend. I’m so glad he did! We had a wonderful time introducing Samantha to the joys of camping. We tossed our camp chairs in the van, along with our hammocks, some corn for dinner and some blankets.
After driving up the Ocoee to the back into the Big Frog Wilderness (if anyone enjoys camping this is one of the best spots around) we tied up our hammocks, set up our chairs and I made the the corn while Aaron built a fire and Samantha explored the campsite with Trouble, our dog.
Soon after eating the corn we we heated up some Chef Boyardee ravioli and then realized we didn’t have a fork or spoon to eat with or feed Samantha with.
Pictured below is what we used to eat Friday night.
Yes, that’s a stick. It served it’s purpose.
Saturday morning my G.I.Joe husband made these.
And they worked even better! I totally kept them.
This is our campsite. Absolute bliss.

Philadelphia, PA — While human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination rates have risen substantially, just 34 percent of adolescents in the Philadelphia region received a first dose of the vaccine by their 13th birthday, according to a seven-year study of medical claims by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA). Nationally, 29 percent of Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) commercially insured adolescent members received an initial dose of the CDC-recommended HPV vaccination from 2010 through 2016.
In the Philadelphia region, first-dose HPV-vaccination rates increased from 28 percent for adolescents born in 2000 (who turned 13 years old in 2013) to 37 percent for adolescents born in 2003 (who turned 13 years old in 2016). Nationally, 22 percent of adolescents in 2013 received an initial dose of HPV vaccination compared to 34 percent in 2016.
Despite the growth, HPV vaccination lags behind other adolescent vaccines in the Philadelphia region, where 92 percent of adolescents in 2016 received the meningococcal vaccine, and 92 percent received the Tdap vaccine. Furthermore, 15 percent of are adolescents completed the full three-dose HPV regimen by age 13 in 2016, compared to 9 percent nationally.*
The study also finds that:
- In the Philadelphia area, 40 percent of girls received a dose of HPV vaccine compared to 34 percent of boys in 2016. Nationally, 37 percent of girls received a dose of HPV vaccine compared to 32 percent of boys in 2016.
- Nationally, meningococcal and Tdap vaccination rates in 2016 were 78 percent and 84 percent, respectively.
- Nationally, first-dose HPV-vaccination rates in 2016 were nearly the same for adolescents who live in both urban (35 percent) and rural areas (34 percent), but adolescents who reside in urban areas received significantly higher rates of meningococcal and Tdap vaccinations.
The report, “Adolescent Vaccination Rates in America,” represents a comprehensive study of outpatient medical claims for commercially insured BCBS members born from 2000 through 2003 and who were vaccinated by their 13th birthday between 2010 and 2016.**
“While it’s encouraging that more girls and boys are being vaccinated for the HPV virus, there’s so much more we can and should do to raise that rate even higher, considering how effective the vaccine is in preventing cancers,” said Dr. Anna Baldino, a medical director at Independence Blue Cross (Independence) and a board-certified pediatrician. “At Independence, we send reminders to parents/guardians about all vaccinations, including HPV to encourage more children to be vaccinated. There’s also a misconception that boys don’t need the vaccine which is important to dispel. In addition to preventing HPV related cancers, vaccinating males can also provide additional protection for females.” There are about 31,000 cases of HPV-induced cancers each year in the US.
This is the eighteenth study of the Blue Cross Blue Shield: The Health of America Report® series, a collaboration between BCBSA and Blue Health Intelligence, which uses a market-leading claims database to uncover key trends and insights into health care affordability and access to care. Analysis was performed by, and includes, medical claims data from HealthCore, a wholly owned and independently operated health outcomes subsidiary of Anthem, Inc.
For more information, visit www.bcbs.com/healthofamerica.
* In October 2016, the CDC changed the adolescent HPV vaccination recommendation from three to two doses, starting the vaccine series before the child’s 15th birthday. The report defines a completed regimen as three doses. The second dose of the HPV vaccine should be given six to twelve months after the first dose. It is recommended for teens and young adults who start the series at ages 15 through 26 to complete three doses of the HPV vaccine.
** Study includes continually insured members. All adolescents considered in this study were born between the years 2000 and 2003, and thereby were ages 10 through 12 from the years 2010 through 2016.

Tobita Shinchi (飛田新地), also known as Tobita Yūkaku (飛田遊廓), is the largest brothel district in western Japan. It is in the Sanno 3-chōme area of Nishinari-ku, Osaka. It was one of the largest police-sanctioned red light districts in Japan until 1958, when anti-prostitution laws went into effect. The laws seem to have had little effect for the brothels in the area, however, as they now operate largely under the guise of being "Japanese-style restaurants."

Senators expressed concern that the Department of Defense (DoD) is not doing enough to support small businesses in the defense industrial base (DIB) to implement or subsidize cybersecurity protocols, including the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certificate (CMMC) at a May 18 Senate Subcommittee on Cybersecurity hearing.
It’s an issue Sens. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Joe Manchin, D-W.V., ranking member and chairman on the committee, each brought up with witnesses, seeking information about what the DoD is and can be doing to better assist small businesses in protecting DoD data.
“The defense industrial base must help smaller businesses with the protection of DoD data from malicious cyber actors,” Rounds said in his opening statement. “The department cannot simply burden its contractors with increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements. Doing so without subsidy or assistance is unlikely to particularly improve the cybersecurity of the defense industrial base, and will likely drive the most innovative small businesses away from doing business with the department.”
Sen. Manchin expressed concern about what concrete plans or initiatives DoD is working on that will help small businesses in the DIB shore up their cybersecurity and provide support and guidance in that journey.
It is a concern also shared, at least in part, within the DoD. Jesse Salazar, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Industrial Policy, shared small businesses make up most of the businesses in the third and fourth tiers of the DIB, which makes up approximately 74 percent of the DIB, according to Salazar’s written testimony. In addition, the amount of small businesses in the DIB has also shrunk substantially in the past decade.
“We’re really focused on managing costs of cybersecurity for small businesses,” Salazar said at the hearing. “In my role, I also oversee the Office of Small Business programs. So I can say with certainty that small businesses are under immense market pressures. The number of [the] DIB’s small businesses has shrunk by more than 40 percent over the last decade. After the pandemic, one-in-seven small businesses within the DIB say that they’re unlikely to return to pre-pandemic profitability.”
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, later asked how the government can strike the right balance between public and private responsibility for cybersecurity between the government and small businesses. As of now, Salazar said that while the DoD is putting programs in place to help small businesses, they are being viewed as a weak link in the supply chain.
“Within the defense industrial base, we see small business businesses really as the engines of innovation and vitality,” Salazar responded. “We want to make sure as a policy matter that we are doing everything we can to maintain a thriving small business segment. The recent spate of supply chain attacks and disruptions have shown that many adversaries are viewing these small businesses as a weak link.”
Current Initiatives to Help Small Businesses
In order to assist small businesses in creating better cyber hygiene practices among their organizations and guide them through the process, both the DoD and the U.S. Army have put programs in place to help.
At DoD, Salazar touted a mentor-protégé program his office has, where the prime contractor coaches its subcontractors through the rigors of handling DoD materials, as well as DoD’s “Project Spectrum” platform, where primes are sharing information with subcontractors in real-time.
“Project Spectrum” is a way DoD has gone about making resources more readily available for small businesses as a way to make them more resilient. He said a concern he’s heard from small businesses is often the barrier for entry, and this project is one way they are trying to drive down costs.
“We’ve … stood up a website called Project Spectrum, the IO, which actually has been very helpful, Salazar said. “We’ve had more than 500,000 views [and] 10,000 trainings disseminated on cyber hygiene. Small businesses can go and assess where they currently stand today. These are the kinds of resources that we’re trying to make available so that we can drive down the cost and start protecting these companies today.”
The Army has its own Office of Small Business Programs also working on aiding small businesses with their cybersecurity practices and getting CMMC ready. Kimberly Buehler leads that office as its director and said her main job is to be an advocate for small businesses at a May 19 FCW virtual event focused on the CMMC program.
Buehler has similarly found small businesses who have said the cost to achieve the CMMC is prohibitive, but also that they are having issues simply understanding the requirements.
“The cost is really one of the barriers that small businesses have mentioned to me, more often than anything else in terms of their hesitancy to get on board with the CMMC requirements,” Buehler said at the event. “If there’s one takeaway from today, I think it has to be: don’t wait. This is moving forward.”
“The more you can do now, the better off you’re going to be. So, you know, building this into your, your business model is really critical if you’re a small business,” Buehler added.
In mentioning resources Army has to help with the transition, Buehler also mentioned DoD’s Project Spectrum, as well as the protégé-mentor program.
She also put in a plug for Army’s Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, run through its Defense Logistics Agency, and the business assistance network America’s Small Business Development Center. The latter has created its Cybersecurity Maturity Model, separate from the CMMC, and partners with the Small Business Administration to be able to give most of its offerings for free.

Reviews - What do customers think about Twelve Months of Monastery Soups?
Lots of cream! Apr 28, 2008
When this book arrived I read it through immediately. I was hoping for a book of soups that I can use for weight control while not feeling cheated. However, there is an overwhelming quantity of recipes with cream in them. That makes this book not helpful for people with allergies, dairy intolerance, vegetarian leanings, cholesterol problems, or weight issues. I'm disappointed. Nevertheless, I'm heartened by the reviews of the recipes here, so I will try the ones that are suited to my diet needs and hope for the best.
Twelve Months of Monastery Soups Jan 1, 2008
Twelve Months of Monastery Soups I bought this book to help with my column in my Master Gardener newsletter. My recipes are chosen to utilized the bounty from our gardens. This book does this well, I use it often, always giving credit to the Monks. While reading this book I can almost feel the Monks next to me. It is a lovely feeling any time I use it. Each month they feature a recipe using the produce that is in season, Squash soup for November and so on. If you love soup this book is one you will enjoy. You will also lake some of the comments at the bottom of the page for each month.
Tasty! Mar 15, 2007
I bought this originally just wanting another soup cookbook, as I tend to live off soups. While other soup cookbooks seem to thrive off 20 different competing flavors, these soups thrive on their very simplicity. It makes both eating and making the soup like a meditation. You'll be amazed how a soup so simple can taste so good. You dont need tons of spices and different steps to appreciate the basic(and yummy!) taste of the vegetables.
Excellent Sourcebook for Vegans or New Cooks Aug 23, 2006
'Twelve Months of Monastery Soups' is my second-favorite cookbook, by virtue of the copies I've given to other cooks. (Bernard Clayton's 'Complete Book of Soups and Stews' is #1) Complete Book of Soups and Stews
In my many years of cooking, I've enjoyed soupmaking because: 1. It doesn't take a lot of work to make a soup, 2. It is pretty hard to ruin the dish if you follow the recipe; and 3. You can make a good recipe even greater with a little ingredient experimentation and fine-tuning. 4. The more you do it, the more confident you get with your skill.
In 'Twelve Months...', Brother Victor raises the soup cooking consciousness by providing a fine variety of seasonal selections presented in a very readable recipe format.
Here are my reasons for recommending this fine soup cookbook:
Recipe Simplicity: I loathe the `Joy of Cooking' because of the cryptic recipe language it is written in. Brother Victor lays it out plain and simple here, making the construction easy for the new or challenged cook. Anyone can make one of these fine soups.
Seasonalness: The soups are arranged by month when the vegetable ingredients are most readily available and fresh. For not-too-adventuresome cooks, the combination of ingredient seasonality and recipe simplicity tempts you to try new things you'd probably never try before.
Recipe Selection: The mix of recipes is very good. Even though the selection leans heavily toward the Vegan side, there is something here for everyone. Try Clayton's book if you seek more meaty varieties.
One last thing. Several this site reviewers were critical of the `blandness' of the recipes. Pshaw, I say! If there isn't enough garlic, salt, pepper or spice in the recipe, I add more (and make a note of it in my cookbook.) Soup recipes should not be blindly followed, but spiced by the cook's good taste!
yummy Apr 25, 2006
I bought this book for my mother, who has loved it for the last 7 years. She has systematically made every soup in the book. Aside from the beer soup... they were all delicious. Have fun!

Mike Ross takes listeners on a uniquely detailed and image packed history tour of the history of the of the music he loves to play, beginning in the Mississippi Delta at the beginning of the 20th century and finishing up right back in the present moment with his powerful emotive voice and intoxicating virtuosic guitar playing carrying you every inch of the way.
Born and raised in the Great North but living these days down in the Southland with a steady mind and a thoroughbred plan, Mike writes soul wrenchin’, riff bustin’ songs that will make you want to share the tale of his life’s journey and the lessons he’s learned.
This winding road leads from England to Europe before jumping the Atlantic to New York, detouring way down south to Memphis and New Orleans via Clarksdale Mississippi and Nashville Tennessee, soaking up every scent and sound along the way before fetching up on the shores of Sussex with a lifetime’s worth of tales to share.
The London based Jack J Hutchinson is an established talented blues player with a contemporary sound. Jack has been described by Classic Rock Blues Magazine as “born to sing soul and blues”, and Blues In Britain as “everything that is so good about modern blues music”.
His last two EPs – Get It Back and Unplugged – have both entered the UK iTunes blues chart Top 20, with the latter also featured by Apple as a ‘Top New Release’. He has also reached #1 in the local and #4 in the national Reverbnation blues charts, and also entered the Amazon blues charts.
Hutchinson has received widespread radio play, with BBC Radio 2’s Paul Jones a prominent supporter. 6 of his tracks have also featured on cover mount CDs for Classic Rock Blues Magazine, who have also extensively promoted his work via their TeamRock radio station. He was also featured in their ‘Ones To Watch 2015’ feature. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to catch this great sound at our own blues venue.

Even now, poor conservatives can't come to grips with reality.
On the July 6 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, while discussing President Bush's commutation of former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's 30-month prison sentence, Wall Street Journal Opinionjournal.com editor James Taranto falsely claimed that "[t]here's still no evidence that [former CIA operative] Valerie Plame [Wilson] was a covert agent."
Newsweek, two months ago:
An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame’s employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was “covert” when her name became public in July 2003. […]
While assigned to CPD, Ms. Wilson engaged in temporary duty (TDY) travel overseas on official business. She traveled at least seven times to more than ten countries. When traveling overseas, Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity — sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias — but always using cover — whether official or non-official cover (NOC) — with no ostensible relationship to the CIA.
At the time of the initial unauthorized disclosure in the media of Ms. Wilson’s employment relationship with the CIA on 14 July 2003, Ms. Wilson was a covert employee for whom the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States.
This isn't complicated.


Police said the man is wanted in more than a dozen robberies of North Side convenience stores and restaurants. He was wounded after robbing a Subway shop on State Street just north of Chicago Avenue, police said.

- Chicago Transit Authority
- 1601 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647, USA
- 816 North State Street, Chicago, IL 60610, USA
The man did not respond to commands and made suspicious movements inside the vehicle before he was shot, and police said they recovered a weapon at the scene.
The 23-year-old man was taken to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm.
Police from a number of nearby districts responded to the scene after officers called a "10-1," a term used to signal an officer, firefighter or paramedic in distress. Detectives from two of the three city detective areas also responded.
Detectives approached people at the bars that line the intersection, asking if anyone saw anything. Police blocked access to the area and the CTA rerouted its bus traffic around the intersection.
Hours after the shooting, as the bars wrapped up for the night, people stood outside smoking and exchanging stories of the cop cars they saw speeding toward the scene.
The other robberies linked to the suspect usually occurred between 11:30 p.m. and 2:15 a.m. They included hold-ups within two hours of each other at 2200 N. Lincoln Avenue and 300 W. Chicago Avenue early in the morning of Feb. 6.

A PLANNING application has been submitted to East Lindsey District Council for the development of three wind turbines on land near Louth Canal.
Renewable energy developer Partnerships for Renewables (PfR) is proposing the development on adjoining pieces of land owned by the Environment Agency and a local private landowner.
Dr Jo Fleming, Regional Manager at PfR, said: “We believe the land is suitable for three turbines which will stand at a maximum tip height of 113.5 meters and could generate up to 16.4 gigawatt hours (GWh) of green electricity every year - enough to power approximately 3,680 homes.
“As part of our ongoing consultation programme we will be holding another public event now that we have submitted our plans. This will offer local residents an opportunity to view the planning application and associated documents, and share any questions or comments with the project team.
“It will also offer another chance to see photomontages which show how the turbines would look in the landscape from various recognised viewpoints.”
In a statement the company said: “If the development goes ahead there will be a community benefit fund associated with the turbines which would generate up to £18,750 per year for the life of the project (£2,500 per MW). This money will be placed in an independently-managed fund available to the local community to be spent as it sees fit.”
Public exhibitions will be held at two loations -
Tuesday May 1 from 1pm to 7pm at Tetney Village Hall, Humberston Road, Tetney.
Wednesday May 2from 10am to 3pm at North Thoresby Village Hall, The Square, North Thoresby.
The complete planning application and all accompanying documents are available to read or download either via the project website at http://www.pfr.co.uk/louthcanal from the planning department at East Lindsey District Council or from their website http://publicaccess.e-lindsey.gov.uk/online-applications/
Planning reference number: N/133/00586/12
If anyone is unable to attend the exhibition but has queries or comments, they can contact PfR by phone on 0800 731 7395 or email email@example.com

Not only did Brad Brucker, an Oklahoma City Thunder fan, win $20,000 making a half-court shot, he got props from Jay Z, who was at the game with Beyonce. Jay Z congratulated Brucker as he walked off the court.
Here's another look at the shot:
The Thunder tweeted out a quote from Brucker along with a cool picture:
KD on the halfcourt shots: "That's two in a row now. We might go broke with these guys making these halfcourt shots now."— Royce Young (@royceyoung) November 22, 2013
He also gave his thoughts on Jay Z and Beyonce being at the game:
KD on Jay Z and Beyoncé being at the game: "That's crazy. I don't even know how to describe that right there."— Royce Young (@royceyoung) November 22, 2013
Oddly enough, this was the second time this week that a Thunder fan drilled a half-court shot.
SB Nation's Ben Golliver tweeted out an incredible stat:
Thunder fans are 5-for-22 (22.7 percent) on half-court shots since March 5.— Ben Golliver (@blazersedge) November 22, 2013
Looks like there's some talent in the stands in Oklahoma City.

Built-Up Area: Caernarfon
Traditional County: Caernarfonshire
7-9 Segontium Terrace was built in the early C19 probably as a single development and is shown on the 1810 and 1834 town maps, but the houses never had a unified design. 5-9 Segontium Terrace represents the early development of middle-class urban housing outside the town centre and the site was chosen for its view over the Afon Seiont at a time before the full development of Slate Quay as a port.
A Georgian house of 3 storeys and 3 bays, with a rendered front and slate roof. Openings are offset to the L side. The central doorway has a doorcase with fluted pilasters, and plain consoles to an entablature. A fielded panel door has radial-glazed lights. The central bay has blind windows, while the outer bays have windows replaced in original openings and are shorter in the upper storey.
Iron railings in front of the basement steps have spear finials. In the basement is a small-pane window to the R and blocked opening to the L, and a doorway in the central bay. The rear wall is roughcast.
Listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port.

Global Aprotic Solvents Market is estimated to grow significantly in the forecast period owing to the increase in demand from several end use industries and growing use of bio-based items. Aprotic solvents are the solvents, which are not capable of hydrogen bonding, for which they cannot be hydrogen bonds. Aprotic solvents usually have intermediate polarity and dielectric constants.
Rising consumption of aprotic solvents among several other end use industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, enhanced recycling technology, and growing demand for eco-friendly solution are majorly driving the growth of aprotic solvents market. Furthermore, improved features like low reactivity, high relative permittivity, thermal stability with the use of aprotic solvents in production of gas and oil refining are other boosting factors of aprotic solvents. However, increase in demand for non-toxic alternates to aprotic solvents, strict government regulations, flexible raw material cost and growing environmental concern are expected to hamper the growth of aprotic solvents market in the coming years.
Increase in demand for aprotic solvents is predicted to expand impressively in the pharmaceutical segment in the years to come owing to the innovations in the segment, which introduces new drugs. Over the years, the demand for toluene is also on the rise. The raw material is used to produce other chemicals like benzene, xylene, and trinitrotoluene (TNT). Hence, the demand is expected to remain strong in future as well. Besides, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) potentially dissolves numerous metals due to which its demand is expected to resister significant growth especially in oil & gas and plastic segment.
Aprotic solvents industry is categorized on the basis of solvent type, application and geography. On the basis of solvent type, the market is divided into N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, benzene, toluene, acetone, chloroform, and others. In terms of application, aprotic solvents market is divided into pharmaceutical, oil & gas, personal care, electronics, adhesives, paints & coatings, and others. Oil & gas segment is expected to register significant growth since it extensively uses aprotic solvents. They are used as fracking fluids while oil drilling operations since it increases the quantity of hydrocarbons.
Geographically, aprotic solvents industry is segmented as North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to hold larger market share of aprotic solvents owing to the steady growth observed in industries like electronics and electrical, pharmaceutical, and paints & coatings. North America is projected to lead aprotic solvents industry after Asia Pacific due to growing pharmaceuticals and oil & gas industry.
The prominent players in aprotic solvents industry include AlzChem AG, Ashland, Asahi Kasei, BASF SE, CNPC Jilin Chemical Group, Eastman Chemical Company, Imperial Chemical Corporation, Celanese Corporation, Ineos Chemicals Company, Shell Chemicals, DuPont Conglomerate Company, Mitsubishi Chemicals, and Nanjing Jinlong.

VIRGINIA BEACH—Over a month after Christian Montes, 27, died after getting run over by a school bus, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney office announced it would not be filing any charges against the bus driver.
"Involuntary manslaughter is very, very specific, there has to be evidence of callous reckless disregard for human life and that just wasn't there in this case," said Harvey Bryant, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney.
Gary Byler, Montes’ family’s attorney, says he was surprised and confused by Bryant’s decision.
"I can tell you right now we have 20 or 30 cases where people are stopped on the interstate and rear ended and the standard operating procedure is the person that hits them is given a ticket," said Byler.
Early in the morning on October 23rd, Montes’ 1995 Ford Escort was disabled in the middle of Holland Road near Independence Blvd, when a bus full of kids hit it at 45 miles per hour, the legal speed limit, according to the VB Police Crash Report obtained by 13News Now.
Montes was standing outside of his car when the bus ran over him, crushing his chest.
Forensic experts could not determine if Montes’ car lights were on, Bryant said.
Bryant says surveillance video proves the driver was not distracted and there was no evidence of a criminal act.
"I have to decide what is correct under the law. I'm not going to abuse the criminal process just to please some plaint personal injury attorney," said Bryant.
Byler says the driver should have been able to see the car and know how to stop the bus in time.
"We will be pursuing a civil action. We hope that the Virginia Beach School Board will do the right thing and that is to compensate the Montes family for this tragic loss," said Byler.
13News Now was unable to reach the bus driver for comment.
Montes is survived by his wife and two young children.

India’s day traders are strapping in for the GameStop Corp. ride that’s taken equity markets by storm.
The videogame retailer was among the five most-traded names over the past week on Stockal, a platform for Indian retail investors to trade US equities. GameStop accounted for about 15 per cent of all trades on the platform, co-founder and co-chief executive officer Sitashwa Srivastava said in an interview.
“We were not expecting Indians would be on Reddit, reading about GameStop,” Srivastava said. Unlike many of their options-heavy WallStreetBets counterparts, Indian traders aren’t allowed to take on leverage while trading foreign stocks, he said. “These are all trading in cash.”
GameStop has exploded onto trading screens with the stock up more than 1,700 per cent this year. Fuelled by trader talk on forums and Elon Musk’s “Gamestonk!!” tweet, it’s taken professionals by surprise and squeezed shorts at major hedge funds.
As in other markets, with more Indians staying indoors since the pandemic struck, many have flocked to stock markets at home and abroad, leading to a surge in retail investing. According to Stockal, their favourites in the US have been the likes of Tesla Inc. and Apple Inc., with Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc. and Chinese electric vehicle firm Nio Inc. rising up the rankings in recent months.
In China, GameStop and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. were the most-traded US names Wednesday on a trading app of Shenzhen-based Futu Holdings Ltd., which serves individual investors in Mainland China and Hong Kong.
Dipe Chatterjee, a Mumbai-based marketing consultant, says he’s bought GameStop and Tesla in recent months, making a 150 per cent return on his $1,000 investment in the games retailer earlier this week before swiftly booking profits.
“It’s a game with real skin in it,” he said.
Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum earlier briefly turned itself off amid a surge new participants. The site had racked up more than 3 million members as day traders plugged companies led by GameStop.


PILS-IC-VA: Semi-Continuous Determination of Anions, Cations & Heavy Metals in Aerosols
PILS-IC-VA is a powerful tool to capture the short-term impacts of air pollution as it allows the near real-time determination of the aerosol composition of ambient air. Moreover, this hyphenated system is highly suited for long-term unattended field use in remote regions.
Common filter-based measurements suffer from their poor temporal resolution and their labor-intensive offline management. Thus, acute exposures that appear only for a very short time get lost in the long averaging times of the filter. The automated PILS, on the other hand, yields enhanced time-resolved data by permanently collecting airborne particulate matter. It allows capturing the particles in an air flow and dissolving the soluble constituents in a steam jet for subsequent analysis.
The captured air particles, which are sampled through a cyclone that controls the size of the entering particles applying a size threshold of 10 µm (PM10), enter the condensation growth chamber, where they are mixed with injected supersaturated steam. Rapid adiabatic mixing allows the aerosol particles to grow into droplets large enough to be collected by an impactor. Afterwards, the solution with the diluted aerosol particles is split into three streams and analyzed by dual-channel ion chromatography and voltammetry.

The federal government has promised to achieve sustainable food production in the country by deploying improved varieties, expanding the cultivable land area and supporting agribusiness undertakings.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Muhammad Sabo Nanono, explained that this is “in line with the Ministry’s signed deliverables with the Presidency.”
Speaking at an event this week in Abuja, Mr Nanono stated that “the priority area for food security entails engagement with state and non-state actors to facilitate programmes to farmers on mechanisation, extension delivery, commodity production, storage facilities, agro-processing, grazing reserves, livestock transformation and fisheries.”
He said part of the ways his ministry has worked hard to achieve these goals include repositioning the agricultural research system, securing 20,000 to 100,000 hectares of land per state for agricultural use, and promoting agro and agro-allied cluster activities nationwide.
The Minister noted that the federal government will continue to work with agencies and agricultural research institutes in order to collectively deliver on its mandate, stressing that the collaboration would help to further strengthen sectoral linkages and promote import-substitution, enterprise development, value-added processing and economic diversification.
“For the ministry’s representatives on the boards of parastatals, you are to update your principals on vital issues resolved at board meetings while relaying the ministry’s position on such issues to respective parastatals board and management,” Mr Nanono said at a one-day retreat for CEOs and Chairmen of boards of agencies and parastatals of the ministry held on Thursday in Abuja.
The Minister assured that “the ministry, under my leadership, is open to constructive interface and will support any concept, initiative and strategy that can guide, facilitate and fast-track the implementation of policies, programmes and projects in the agricultural sector.”
In his remarks, the Minister of State, Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Mustapha Baba Shehuri, emphasised the need for consensus in the handling of the policy, sectoral and personnel matters in a manner that will resolve them amicably and forestall misrepresentation, misconception and poor guidance.
He expressed the need to strengthen the service delivery mechanism since much is expected from the sector to enhance the country’s capacity on food security, employment generation and wealth creation, noting that “only then will we be able to address the impact of the global health emergency and the high expectation of present administration on the agriculture sector.”

Women who were exposed to higher levels of the pesticide DDT in utero were nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer as adults than women who were exposed to lower levels before birth, according to a 54-year case-control study.
2015 Study Abstract
Currently no direct evidence links in utero dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) exposure to human breast cancer. However, in utero exposure to another xenoestrogen, diethylstilbestrol, predicts an increased breast cancer risk. If this finding extends to DDT, it could have far-reaching consequences. Many women were heavily exposed in utero during widespread DDT use in the 1960s. They are now reaching the age of heightened breast cancer risk. DDT exposure persists and use continues in Africa and Asia without clear knowledge of the consequences for the next generation.
In utero exposure to DDT is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
This was a case-control study nested in a prospective 54-year follow-up of 9300 daughters in the Child Health and Development Studies pregnancy cohort (n = 118 breast cancer cases, diagnosed by age 52 y and 354 controls matched on birth year).
Setting and Participants:
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan members who received obstetric care in Alameda County, California, from 1959 to 1967, and their adult daughters participated in the study.
Main Outcome Measure:
Daughters’ breast cancer diagnosed by age 52 years as of 2012 was measured.
Maternal o,p′-DDT predicted daughters’ breast cancer (odds ratio fourth quartile vs first = 3.7, 95% confidence interval 1.5–9.0). Mothers’ lipids, weight, race, age, and breast cancer history did not explain the findings.
This prospective human study links measured DDT exposure in utero to risk of breast cancer. Experimental studies are essential to confirm results and discover causal mechanisms. Findings support classification of DDT as an endocrine disruptor, a predictor of breast cancer, and a marker of high risk.

When the providers and upper management understand the ramifications of violations, then the rest of the staff typically will follow the examples that are set in place. Because HIPAA Compliance starts at the top!
Violations happen when someone makes a mistake or is simply not thinking. HIPAA needs to be on the forefront of everyone who encounters patient information. Treat this information as if it were your own! HIPAA does not have to be difficult; it only takes a few precautionary measures to stay compliant.
Here are some helpful reminders:
Always speak in hushed tones. The person you are talking to may not be the one that will complain. Others may think if they can hear what you are saying to another patient, someone else will hear what you are saying to them.
When a patient makes a request, always ask this to be in writing. Remember there is a time limit on most requests, and you must answer within the time allotted. If a patient asks for a copy of their medical records, you have 30 days to answer the request, you may extend 30 days, but it must be explained to the patient why, and a date when they will be available must be determined.
With the new information blocking rules, patients now have the right to ask for their information in the format of their choice. This means if they want to download to an app or share with a third party, you are required to do so. If you do not have the technology in place to honor their request, advise the patient you are checking into this, and never tell them “no” you can’t honor their request. That may be considered information blocking.
Before emailing or faxing patient information, verify the number/address, and before you click send, verify AGAIN! If you are attaching documents, be sure the document you are sending is the correct information for that patient. If you are emailing protected health information (PHI), encryption should be utilized. The only time this is not required is if the patient has been informed that this is not a secure method of transmission, and they authorize you to send it anyway. Be sure to keep that email as your authorization.
Train your staff to verify that business associate agreements are in place before releasing any paper, digital, or electronic PHI. This can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines should they mishandle PHI.
Educate your staff that looking into medical records that they do not have a need to do so, is grounds for termination. This includes family members, friends, neighbors, and celebrities. The monitoring of audit logs is a required standard under the security rule. If you are not reviewing your logs, then it is highly recommended to utilize an audit log monitoring company.
Remind staff that work computers are for business purposes only. It is so easy to introduce malware and viruses from the internet. Also, remind them NEVER click on links in emails unless you are expecting the email.
These are just a few items to keep in mind. Be sure to train your staff on privacy and security annually and send out reminders. HIPAA is not just a once-a-year commitment, it is every day! Stay safe out there!

It is hard to believe we are in 2021, but I am sure you are like the rest of us and glad to see 2020 in the rear-view mirror.
As we move into this new year, we need to look ahead and learn from what has happened in the past. Last month we informed you about many HIPAA violations that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) had investigated. Most of these violations could have been prevented. In fact, I was talking with a colleague that owns an audit log monitoring system and he informed me that during the pandemic they saw a 90% increase in snooping into patient records of the same last name. Fortunately for his clients, this was immediately stopped, and the employee(s) were sanctioned. This made me want to remind you of a few requirements under HIPAA.
164.308(a)(1)(ii)(c) Sanction Policy – is a “required” standard under the HIPAA Security Rule. Employers are required by law to apply sanctions against employees who violate HIPAA, otherwise the employer could be fined.
164.308(a)(1)(ii)(d) Information System Activity Review – is another required standard. Which requires procedures to regularly review records of information system activity, such as audit logs, access reports, and security incident tracking reports. A security incident can be best described as the attempted or successful unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information or interference with system operations in an information system.
164.312(b) Audit Controls – is yet another required standard that states you must implement hardware, software, and/or procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in information systems that contain or use electronic protected health information (ePHI). This standard goes hand in hand with Information System Activity Review.
What does this mean to you?
First, you must understand what is considered “normal” usage within your software/hardware that contains ePHI. Then you must monitor your systems for abnormal behavior. This is a HUGE time-consuming task and unless you are monitoring every employee, 24/7 you may miss something. We highly recommend utilizing a third party to do this for you. The company we work with has interfaces with over 60 EHRs and is fully automated. If they do not have an interface, they will create one, or show you how to upload the logs in a matter of minutes instead of hours. No more looking over lengthy audit log reports. You simply receive an alert when there is abnormal activity. Best of all, this protects your patient data and your practice from fines and penalties. If you would like to learn more about this service, use the contact us page.

When an employee is terminated, it is necessary to remove access to protected health information (PHI) immediately. It is just as important for employees not to share their log-in credentials with anyone. The City of New Haven, Connecticut found out the hard way. In January 2017 the New Haven Health Department filed a breach report stating that a terminated employee may have accessed a file on a New Haven computer that contained PHI (protected health information) of 498 individuals. During the OCR’s investigation they discovered the former employee had returned to the health department eight days after being terminated and logged into her old computer and downloaded patient information to a USB drive. They also uncovered that the former employee had shared her user credentials with an intern, who continued to use these credentials to access PHI.
As we have mentioned before, when you are under investigation, they review all of your compliance efforts and not just the incident that provoked the investigation. During this investigation, the OCR determined they failed to conduct a system wide risk analysis and failed to implement access controls and termination procedures.
“Medical providers need to know who in their organization can access patient data at all times. When someone’s employment ends, so must their access to patient records,” said OCR Director Roger Severino.
This mistake cost the City of New Haven $202, 400 and they must implement a robust corrective action plan that includes two years of monitoring.
We find this difficult to talk about especially during these trying times. However, we feel it is important for all practices to know that HIPAA violations and fines have not disappeared during this pandemic.
Investigations take a long time and many practices think since they have not heard of small practices being fined that they are immune. Unfortunately, that is not true. Fines are smaller, but even the “small” fines hurt small practices. Could you afford $25K or $50K in fines?
The latest fine of $25K for ongoing HIPAA violations could have been more but the statute of limitations is 6 years. It was reported that they had failed to implement security rule policies and procedures, failed to provide their employees with security awareness and training, and they failed to conduct a thorough assessment of potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the ePHI they held.
We understand that after you conduct the HIPAA risk analysis, the hard work begins. Implementing your HIPAA policies and procedures and documenting your risk management plan are difficult and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to complete this task. This is a MUST!

Modern technology is both amazing and scary! Do you know what is being said about you or your organization? In today’s world we must keep up with what is being said on the World Wide Web (WWW) to make sure what the world sees and reads is not Fake News! It also helps you to uncover any broken links to your website that may frustrate potential new patients from actually finding you.
It is a proven fact that before a person buys nearly anything, they “Google” it. This includes finding services as well as looking for a new physician. Do you want to increase your patient visits? Are you being found? Is the information that is out there correct? We suggest searching for your name, practice name, address, and phone numbers to see what is listed. Also check the websites that rate physicians.
Do you have any social media sites? Did you know that someone else can create one for you? These are called “unofficial” sites in Facebook. Patients could be checking in and writing negative comments about your practice and you may not even know about it. That is why it is so important to keep an watchful eye! However, be very careful how you respond. Patients have the right to tell the world about themselves but healthcare providers do not!
Before you venture into any marketing campaigns, make sure you are not violating any privacy laws. If you decide to hire a marketing company or reputation management service; insist on a company that is well versed in the medical arena. Special HIPAA regulations are required in marketing and we have heard some practices being charged with HIPAA violations due to their service provider. Also, remember to check your state laws as well!

The boys golf regional at The Rail in Springfield may not have been the strongest in terms of schools with state title aspirations, but it was definitely the most competitive one in the state on Monday, Oct. 7.
Just 15 strokes separated the top eight teams at the tournament, with the second through eighth place teams separated by only eight strokes. The closeness of the scores led to some nail-biting moments for many teams, including the Lincolnwood Lancers, vying for one of the top three spots and a trip to sectionals.
Of the Lancers' five losses this season, three came against teams that would be with them in Williamsville. Auburn, who won the regional on Monday with a 360, were 2-2 against Lincolnwood this season, while South County knocked off the Lancers by a stroke on senior night on Oct. 3.
The Lancers returned the favor on Monday though, shooting a 368 to grab the third and final qualifying spot, just one stroke ahead of South County's 369.
Looking at the team standings would be enough to give anyone anxiety, even if they didn't have a dog in the hunt so to speak. Jacksonville Routt shot a 367 to beat the Lancers by one, setting off a stair-step down the standings from second to seventh place.
After the Vipers in fourth came North Mac with a 370, Carlinville with a 371 and Pleasant Plains with a 372. Williamsville ended the trend, but were still just eight away from Routt with a 375.
One of the Lancers last scores to enter the clubhouse happened to be their best as Sam Herman shot a 10-over-par 82 to solidify Lincolnwood's place in the top three.
Herman would shoot a 43 on the front nine, then backed it up with a 3-over-par 39 on the back half of the course to take third overall individually. Only Dain Richie of South County (72) and Jadon Wheeler of Jacksonville Westfair Christian Academy (78) would shoot better than the Lincolnwood senior.
This will be Herman's third straight trip to the sectional tournament. His only miss came in his freshman year, when he shot a 106 in regionals to finish 35th overall, ten strokes off the final individual qualifying spot.
That was also the last time the Lancers missed the sectionals as a team, finishing fourth at the Trenton Wesclin Regional in 2016. Since then, they've finished third in 2017 and second in 2018, but haven't been able to make it to state as a team, coming as close as 22 strokes last year with a seventh place finish in sectionals.
But even if the Lancers don't make it out of sectionals this year, the fact that they will be making the trip to Rolling Greens Golf Course in Mt. Sterling on Monday, Oct. 14, is a testament to their ability to overcome adversity.
In addition to the tough competition at the tournament, Lincolnwood was also without the services of one of their top players, Michael Jones, who has been out due to illness.
The other five Lancers, two juniors, two sophomores and a freshman, helped ensure that Herman would get another shot at making it to the state tournament in his senior year.
Nate Brockmeyer would earn a top ten finish in his first regional experience as he shot an 88 to finish in a tie for eighth place. The Lincolnwood freshman shot a 46 on the front nine and a 42 on the back nine to give Lincolnwood two rounds under 90, one of just three teams to do so.
Morrisonville junior Braxton Schmedeke, who plays via the co-op between the two schools, added in a 97 with rounds of 48 and 49, while fellow junior Devin Brown finished off the scoring with a 101, shooting 51 on the front and 50 on the back.
Sophomores Will Jenkins and Michael Graham also played on Monday in Springfield, shooting a 111 and a 115 respectively. Graham would shoot a 58 on the front nine and a 57 on the back, while Jenkins shot a 50 on the front and a 61 on the back.
The Lancers will now join the top three teams and advancing individuals from the four regionals feeding into the Mt. Sterling Sectional. Those groups include players from the Kewanee Wethersfield Regional, the Glasford Illini Bluffs Regional and the Camp Point Central Regional.
The top three teams and top ten players not on an advancing team will move on to the IHSA Class 1A State Finals, which will be held at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington on Oct. 18 and 19.

The Fatherhood movie true story reveals that the real Matthew and Liz Logelin were married on August 13, 2005. They had met at a gas station back in Minnesota when they both were high school seniors. They maintained a long-distance relationship while Liz attended Scripps College in Claremont, California and Matt studied sociology at St. John's University in Minnesota. The distance persisted after graduation while Matt pursued a master's degree at Chicago's Loyola University. In 2002, instead of pursuing a PhD in sociology, Matt decided to move to California to start a life together with Liz. They married roughly three years later. Matt had popped the question while they were visiting a temple in Nepal. Approximately two years after their 2005 wedding, they discovered they were pregnant.
Yes. In researching the question, "How much of Fatherhood is based on a true story?" we learned that due to low amniotic fluid, Liz was put on bed rest for five weeks prior to her emergency c-section (Rachel Ray Show). The last two weeks of bed rest were spent in the hospital (AOL). The movie does not show Liz (Deborah Ayorinde) on bed rest.
Initially, in addition to sharing his daily struggles in his personal blog, which he had retitled Matt, Liz and Madeline: Life and Death, All in a 27-Hour Period, he also posted in the online parenting forum of his old hometown's newspaper, the Minnesota Star Tribune. The forum's moderators reached out to him and he soon found himself the subject of a front-page feature in the newspaper. The Star Tribune headline read, "Without Liz, but not alone." The article mentioned his blog, and he quickly saw its traffic spike, with many people returning daily to read his latest posts. Following the front-page story, he found himself and Maddy being recognized by strangers in public, something he found strangely comforting.
More visitors flooded his blog after his story was featured in a number of other newspapers, People Magazine, and on the TV shows of Rachel Ray and Oprah Winfrey. At its height, the blog received more than 40,000 visitors a day, and its success is part of what inspired him to write his memoir. Matt said that the blog will be a way for Maddy to understand how they managed together in the early days. "In many ways, it's a love letter to Madeline and to Liz. Liz will never read it, of course, I want Madeline to know that her dad didn't just curl up in a ball and start drinking heavily. I want her to know I was out there, doing as much as I could for her, and trying to make her as happy as I could." Matt intended to stop posting on the blog after the first year, but he was encouraged by the ongoing influx of new readers who were just discovering it, many of whom were looking for advice themselves. -The Guardian
Yes. A group of 10 new mothers in Matt's neighborhood invited him to meet with them at a local park. They traded spit-up stories and took Matt under their wing, offering him support and advice. After they noticed how thin he was getting, Hannah Maximova, one of the moms in the group, started Operation Feed Matt, taking him things like muffins and French toast. The main character attends a similar support group in the Kevin Hart Fatherhood movie. -People Magazine
Yes. Although the movie depicts Kevin Hart's character as living in Boston, Matt actually lived in Los Angeles. All of Maddy's grandparents were 1,500 miles away in Minnesota. They did what they could to help him, but if he had a bad night, they couldn't take the baby the next morning to give him a break. In real life, Matt's parents were divorced. "I started blogging for Liz's family," Matt told Rachel Ray. "It was for my family too, but I just wanted to give them visual proof that I was succeeding."
Lil Rel Howery's character, Jordan, doesn't seem to be directly based on any one individual but perhaps most closely resembles Matt's best friend, A.J. Colianni.
Yes. In 2011, Matt Logelin began dating Brooke Gullikson, an early blog reader and a volunteer at the Liz Logelin Foundation. The two had met in 2010 at one of the foundation's fundraisers. Matt and Brooke broke up in 2013 after their relationship had been scrutinized by some of his blog's followers. A few months later, it was rumored that he was dating Bob's Burgers writer Lizzie Molyneux. In the movie, Lizzie (DeWanda Wise) is an animator for the fictional cartoon Lucky Jim. The rumor that they were dating was confirmed in 2016 when he and Lizzie attended a comedy show to benefit the foundation. After keeping their relationship under the radar for several years, the pair married in an unannounced ceremony in Palm Springs, California on February 24, 2018.
No. Visiting MattLogelin.com reveals an empty blog. Matt's old posts are no longer present. In an interview with The Guardian, Matt once said that should Maddy ever tell him to stop the blog, he would. We do know that traffic to the blog declined somewhat in the years that followed (as of April 2011, it was getting approximately 15,000 visitors per day). In a 2016 interview with Us Weekly, Matt revealed that he stopped posting to his blog because he "no longer enjoyed writing it." Matt does have a Twitter account that he updates occasionally.
In researching the Fatherhood true story, we learned that by 2016, he was working as a project manager for the Yellow Pages (US Weekly). Matt Logelin remarried in 2018, tying the knot with Lizzie Molyneux, a writer on the animated series Bob's Burgers. Matt co-authored the 2016 children's book Be Glad Your Dad...(Is Not an Octopus!) with Sara Jensen. He relied heavily on Maddy's input when writing the book. Today, Matt works as a guest-columnist for Glamour Magazine and travels around as a public speaker, sharing his story.
Yes. Matt and his daughter Maddy visited the movie's set in Montreal on August 7, 2019. Of the visit, Kevin Hart commented, "While facing his darkest moment in his life, he was left with the responsibility of raising his child. Nobody believed in him or his ability to step up to the plate...but he did it. It was hard and grueling, but he found a way to pour all of the love he had into his daughter 'Madeline' because that's what his wife would have wanted him to do." -Kevin Hart Facebook

- A novel chitosan (CS)-based asymmetric scaffold composed of a dense layer and a loose layer was fabricated via the self-deposition approach. The micro-structure and mechanical properties were verified to satisfy the criteria for the guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane. The in vitro biocompatibility of the scaffold was verified by the CCK-8 assays of MC3T3 osteoblastic cells. The rat skull defect model was applied to estimate the in vivo bone regeneration performance. The micro-CT and histological results manifested its outstanding bone regenerative ability and superior degradability over the Bio-gide® membrane. Considering the relative low expense and simple fabrication process, the prepared asymmetric CS scaffold is a prospective candidate for GTR therapy.
