If it has been determined that the United States president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, he should be impeached? There can be no basis that would allow a president to commit these crimes and continue in office, regardless of party. Congressman, Senators, Vice President’s and Presidents all take an oath to, “Protect and defend the Constitution of United States.”
I believe that the President has violated his oath of office and that the house must immediately take a vote of an impeachment inquiry against President him. I think President Biden should be accused of the murder of American citizens because he allowed illegal aliens to be disbursed into the country who tested positive for Covid-19. They, no doubt, infected Americans who could possibly have died. Congress should investigate.
We need to use contact tracing of infected people who died through their contact with an illegal alien. If tracing the person who tested positive with COVID-19 found they became a super spreader based on President Biden’s actions on January 20, then I think President Biden should be impeached. This time around, the border’s challenge is not just the number of people streaming into the United States, it is people infected with the COVID-19 virus who are getting through. These infected illegal aliens are weapons that can kill.
In March 2021, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered more than 172,000 persons attempting entry along the Southwest border. That total represented a 71 percent increase over February 2021. So far, for this fiscal year, CBP has already had over 569,800 encounters. This represents an increase of 24 percent from the total encounters we had during all of Fiscal Year 2020. When migration was limited by the COVID-19 pandemic, we still saw an increase of over 34 percent from approximately the same time frame of Fiscal Year 2019.
The majority of the encounters on the Southwest border remain single adults. CBP continues to expel single adults, and family units encountered pursuant to CDC guidance under Title 42 authority. In March 2021, CBP expelled 103,900 individuals under Title 42, 28 percent of whom had been previously expelled from the United States under the same rule. Title 42 expulsions represented 60 percent of the total encounters for the month.
Radio.com reported on March 30, 2021, that 10% of migrant kids at the San Diego Convention center tested positive for COVID-19. Other containment centers through the southwest report similar numbers. The limited number of pictures taken by Senators and Congressman shows no safe distancing or extensive use of masks. In some centers, children are lying next to each other, creating an environment for the spread of COVID-19 to the rest of the people, young and old. When they are released with the virus, they can be sent all over the country to spread the virus. The President tells the American people to wear a mask, practice safe distancing, yet at the border, his rules are not being enforced because the government is overwhelmed with the number of people coming across the border. When the government sends people, who have tested positive for COVID-19 in all directions, we are infecting people who could die. The President has to take responsibility for his actions, and Congress must also hold him accountable for what is happening.
Joe Biden lied to the American people about the number of people coming across the border illegally. He told us the flow was just the usual seasonal increase. Current estimates show that we may take 2 million illegal aliens into the country this year unless something is changed. Border officials anticipate 117,000 children will arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or guardian in 2021 according to a White House domestic policy council document. The number is higher than the 68,000 taken into custody during the 2014 surge of solo children and the 80,000 who arrived during the 2019 humanitarian crisis at the border.
The Gateway Pundit reports that 80% of women and girls are raped on their way to the border. NBC News reports that at least 4,000 illegal aliens have been killed on the trip to
America. CNN reported Belinda de Dios Lopez’s response to their question as to why she came to the country illegally, “I came because Mr. Biden said that he was going to give us 100 days for the opportunity to enter,” she says. When informed that Biden actually said he would suspend deportations for 100 days but had warned would-be migrants not to come to the US, she said the President should show more compassion. “He should be more humanitarian,” she says, “because we are all human, and we need more humanity.”

Engineers have developed a prototype drone that dives like a gannet and launches like a flying fish, to collect water samples.
Gannets are the largest seabirds in the north Atlantic and hunt fish by diving from height into the sea at up to 60 miles per hour. Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of the water and into the sky, where their wing-like fins help them to glide over considerable distances.
The team from Imperial College London have taken inspiration from these behaviours in their prototype AquaMAV robot. The AquaMAV is designed to collect samples in situations such as monitoring water quality in reservoirs and measuring changes in ocean salinity to gauge the effects of climate change.
By examining the diving qualities of gannets and the leaping behaviour of flying fish, we can make an aerial drone that needs less on board control, making it more robust and more affordable to manufacture.
– Rob Siddall
Department of Aeronautics
Currently, researchers generally have to use boats to manually collect water samples. AquaMAV is designed to be rapid, efficient, and more cost effective than this method. It can also carry out tests in dangerous situations such as in disaster zones or from locations currently inaccessible to people, such as deep under the ocean.
One of the current drawbacks for small scale flying robots is that they generally lack sufficient power to make the transition from water to the air. The team in today’s study say they have potentially overcome this problem with their drone by mimicking the way flying fish make ‘impulsive’ leaps from the water.
The AquaMAV uses carbon dioxide, which is stored internally, to propel itself out of the water. In the air, retractable wings are deployed to help it glide, much in the same way that fins help flying fish.
The drone only weighs 200 grams and can currently achieve speeds of around 30 miles per hour from a starting point beneath the water. It can make the aerial leap even if conditions on the surface are rough. The researchers say AquaMAV can currently fly around five kilometres to and from an analysis. The team say the aerial range would enable those analysing the samples to be at a safe distance away from a potentially hazardous situation.
The research, part funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, is published in the journal Interface Focus.
Dr Mirko Kovac, the director of the Aerial Robotics Lab in Imperial’s Department of Aeronautics, said: “During an emergency scenario such as a major oil leak an AquaMav could fly and dive into isolated patch of water, where it could collect samples or loiter and record environmental data. The vehicle could then perform a short take-off and return to its launch site to submit samples for analysis. This would enable a fast, targeted response that could not be matched by the current methods.”
Previous studies have, for example, demonstrated the effectiveness of water sampling using drones that have large multi-rotational propellers. This approach is more complex, relying on very accurate sensing and control systems to maintain the drone in the air while sample probes are carefully lowered into the water to collect specimens.
The team say the advantage of their small, fixed-wing AquaMAV is that it can travel faster and over longer distances compared to hovering vehicles. The plunge diving approach, which mimics how the gannet dives, reduces the need for highly accurate control. This means that the AquaMAV would be more cost effective to manufacture because it needs less gadgetry, and more could be bought and deployed, to give a more in-depth analysis.
Rob Siddall, lead author and postgraduate from Imperial’s Department of Aeronautics, added: “We are really excited by our AquaMAV prototype. We believe we may have overcome the power density problem which makes launching out of the water so challenging for small drones. Nature often has an elegant way of solving engineering challenges. By examining the diving qualities of gannets and the leaping behaviour of flying fish, we can make an aerial drone that needs less on board control, making it more robust and more affordable to manufacture.”
The researchers are currently looking to collaborate with oceanographers and various water authorities to take their testing to the next stage. The aim is to deploy the robot in a wide variety of scenarios, to test the robot’s limits in waves, wind and weather, and examine the physics of high speed dives into water. An additional propulsion system is also under development to make the AquaMAV fully aquatic, capable of long periods of submarine operation.

¿Together Through Life¿
Bob Dylan¿s third studio release of the decade continues very much in the same vein as the other two. It¿s another chapter in Dylan¿s study of American music, where he leans heavily on the blues while dabbling in shades of jazz and country. ¿Together Through Life¿ sounds like it was thrown together quickly, which it was, but manages to get over on Dylan¿s charm.
The loose and familiar sound of the album feels as comfortable as an old pair of jeans, and while there is nothing that stands out as a great, defining track, everything here is uniformly solid. The biggest complaint
might be that it can feel too comfortable at times, as if Dylan¿s not even trying. But at this point, he almost doesn¿t have to, or maybe it¿s just that he¿s so good he makes it sound easy.
As the title suggests, the songs are largely about relationships and the struggle of making them work. Dylan¿s voice, as aged and raspy as ever, is the perfect instrument for imparting his wit and wisdom. When he sings, ¿Hell¿s my wife¿s home town,¿ it¿s not a putdown, he¿s just tapping into the duality of his subject matter.
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Conor Oberst¿s second solo outing since leaving behind the Bright Eyes moniker isn¿t really a solo outing at all since the Mystic Valley Band gets co-billing. So what difference does it make since Oberst has always undoubtedly been in charge of all his various projects? Well, this time out it makes quite a difference, both to the album¿s benefit and detriment.
The easy-fit, rambling opener ¿Slowly (Oh So Slowly)¿ shows the Mystic Valley Band is in tune with Oberst¿s vision on ¿Outer South,¿ and throughout they help produce some moments that would stand with his best work on previous albums. The lively twang of ¿Nikorette¿ is an obvious standout, as is the fierce rock of ¿Roosevelt Room.¿
The only real problem with ¿Outer South¿ is that Oberst is a little too liberal allowing his band mates to try their hands at songwriting. Not that any of the non-Oberst tracks are bad, but with the exceptions of the spiky pop of ¿Air Mattress¿ and vintage sound of ¿Bloodline,¿ they don¿t stand up to the work of the man in charge. They extend the playtime a little too long on what could have been a tighter and even better record.
¿Fork in the Road¿
Young¿s ode to the road, or rather what travels on it, is just like watching cars drive by on a freeway: You¿ll see some real clunkers, a few sweet pieces of machinery, but mostly you¿ll just witness the garden-variety automobiles that travel America¿s roads. ¿Fork in the Road¿ has its share of all of these.
The main focus of Young¿s attention is his alternative fuel-burning Lincvolt, a converted Lincoln Continental. But the subject matter is so specific on occasion, the songs come across sounding more like news releases than music. Young hits one-dimensional notes on songs such as ¿Fuel Line¿ and ¿Johnny Mack.¿
When Young paints with broader strokes, he fires on all cylinders. The grungy ¿Just Singing a Song¿ — where he admits, ¿Just singing a song won¿t change the world¿ — has a vintage Crazy Horse sound, and a juicy riff drives ¿Get Behind the Wheel,¿ a song about the love of automobiles. ¿A Fork in the Road¿ shows Young¿s heart is in the right place, even if his muse sometimes isn¿t.
The Life and Times
Certainly not ¿tragic,¿ and not really a ¿boogie,¿ the Life and Times¿ new album is more of the band¿s pulsing, swirling, neo-psychedelic rock. The reverb drenched guitars of the opener ¿Que Sera Sera¿ set the tone for an album that sometimes falls into a rut, but is relentless in its heavy sonic approach.
A case of sameness tends to creep into the album at times, with some of the densely-layered songs sounding too closely related. But this also makes the standouts distinguish themselves even more clearly. The slowly building throb of ¿Fall of the Angry Clowns¿ and the adrenaline rush of ¿Chase Sequence¿ show the band has ample chops when they¿re willing to expand their sound.
Super Furry Animals
¿Dark Days/Light Years¿
The Welsh rockers¿ latest effort is another set of slightly experimental instrumental pyrotechnics that¿s sure to please fans but might be rather impenetrable for those not indoctrinated. The problem with ¿Dark Days/Light Years¿ is that many of the songs are more form than function.
The herky-jerky rock opener ¿Crazy Naked Girls¿ is not nearly as fun as it sounds, and the mid-tempo atmospherics of songs like ¿Moped Eyes¿ and ¿Cardiff in the Sun¿ are easy to ignore. This is not all to say that the album doesn¿t have some good stuff, but ¿Inaugural Trams,¿ with its bouncy pop groove, and the sweet melody of ¿Helium Hearts¿ are too few and far between.

- Some unique ideas in the story

- Writing is decent
- Protagonist and a few other characters are prodigies or super intelligent and are not as relatable to readers
- Parts of the story feel a bit slow as the plot develops
The Return Review
The Return by Joseph Helmreich gives readers a different perspective of humans and their role in the larger, inhabited galaxy. While the story involves elements of science fiction, namely physics, most of the story takes place on Earth.
Mentions of string theory, the Alcubierre drive, and other theories that explain our physical universe are mentioned in this story, giving readers a sense of realism and a feeling of alienness and awe when it comes to otherworldly technology. This contrast between present-day Earth and the alien technology contribute to this science fiction story.
The protagonist, Shawn, is a prodigy who is studying physics because of a previous event in which a renowned physicist, Andrew Leland, is abducted by aliens. This abduction is recorded and broadcasted worldwide, instantly propelling the scientist into global fame despite his absence.
Questions about his disappearance and the reality of aliens spark a new interest in physics and science, and the world changes in other ways as people abandon religion and flock toward science and Leland cults.
Among this backdrop, Shawn is studying physics, and he has an obsession with Leland’s life and works. When Leland mysteriously reappears, the world presses him for answers about his years-long absence.
What follows is a mystery that reveals a super secret worldwide organization focused on acquiring technology at any means, a physics student, and a scientist who is possibly keeping a secret about his time with the aliens. It’s this secret that everyone wants, and it’s this secret that has the potential to destroy humanity.
The plot of the story itself is fairly standard, and at least the first quarter of the book feels as though it’s plodding along because of the need for the story to establish a context or foundation for future development. It’s not until the reveal that the story picks up and becomes more engaging, especially as readers too wonder about what just happened with Andrew Leland.
The science fiction aspect of the story—the abduction and Leland’s time away from Earth—can feel a little absent at times. The story almost feels more fiction than science, with the exception of some mentions of physics theories. In fact, the book feels more markedly science fiction toward its conclusion, which feels a bit of a cop-out that renders Shawn and Leland’s struggles almost pointless.
The Return by Joseph Helmreich doesn’t start off very interesting, but as the story progresses, the mystery that it introduces consumes readers just as much as it consumes the people in the story. Who, or what, lies out there for Earth, and is Earth ready for what it is sure to face in the deepest reaches of space? Helmreich gives readers one possible answer to this question.

The team issues and techniques of project management are addressed as applicable to the product development process and in general terms. The project management content is taught first in order to support the product development content.
Integrated Engineering Systems Design - 15 Credits
This module will introduce the concept of integrated engineering system design to products. The main thrust of the module is to provide an understanding of common existing engineering systems such as hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical systems, and to show how many products in the market contain multi-systems within. The module will look at the system level interface with users of the product, via controls and feedback. The students via design assignments will be asked to top level system design a product comprising of various systems. The system design will be driven by a technical specification and some conceptual and feasibility work. The students will be expected to produce a system design flow chart for a product which shows the interactions, inputs and outputs between the various systems of the product. Some design engineering calculations will be performed at the system interface level.
Computer Aided Engineering - 15 Credits
This module introduces the students to three CAE systems, CAD solid modelling, stress analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) each with an equal weighting. The CAD component of this module enhances skills in solid modelling and shows the benefits and potential of 3D models in the design process. The stress analysis component introduces the concept of extracting the mid-surface of a solid CAD model and the various techniques to ensure that the surfaces are fully joined. Techniques for ensuring water-tightness and avoidance of initial penetration will also be introduced. The types of element to be used for any particular problem will be discussed. The effect of mesh density on the accuracy of the results will be looked at by using a classical engineering problem. Both static and modal analysis will be covered and reinforced by experimental tests. The CFD component introduces the concept of discretisation of the governing equations of fluid mechanics and covers setting up simple flow scenarios and geometries. Analysis is carried out with a view to parameters affecting result sensitivity.

Vibration, Noise & Vehicle Dynamics - 15 Credits
This module aims to provide an understanding of:
(i) vibration and dynamic responses of complex mechanical engineering systems and structures, this includes normal modes of vibration of both two and multi-degree of freedom systems. The forced response of these systems subject to harmonic excitations is also evaluated. The response of simple systems subject to random excitation is considered too.
(ii) the nature of noise and to achieve the ability to measure, specify and analyse noise spectra. It encompasses vibration modelling of complex mechanical engineering systems and structures and their dynamic responses, and also noise control which is the analysis to limit and control the levels of noise emitted by machines/vehicles. Principles of noise absorption and techniques of noise control are examined with particular reference to internal vehicle noise/room acoustics.
(iii) modelling and analysing the effects of dynamic excitation on the handling, ride, vibration and noise responses of a vehicle. Vehicle suspension dynamic characteristics are examined with reference to the ride qualities of vehicles. The lateral handling characteristics of a simple vehicle model are examined, and its steady state responses are analysed.

"Quiet and intuitive, Lady Mara Reeves has always felt more at home amid the green hills of her native Ireland than in London's stifling ballrooms. Determined to remain single, she's adept at gently rebuffing any suitor who comes her way. So why is she so drawn to Foster Sheridan, Earl of Sterling? It's a connection unlike anything she's ever known, yet complicated by one scandalous fact: the man she believes to be her destiny is already married . . . Trapped in a loveless union with a woman who refuses to divorce him, Foster is resigned to loneliness until he meets the exquisite Mara. He wants her as a wife, not a mistress, but he can't resist her unconventional offer. Their passion is intense, as is the risk. For even as Foster follows Mara home to Ireland, their pasts will lead them toward danger that only the deepest love can overcome"--Back cover.

New Research, New Broadcasters - Radio 3 Announces Next Generation Thinkers
After a nationwide search, BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) have today [Sunday] unveiled the ten academics that have been named New Generation Thinkers 2013. The partnership between BBC Radio 3 and the AHRC aims to find the academic broadcasters of the future; the brightest minds who have the potential to turn ground-breaking ideas into fascinating radio programmes.
The 10 winners will spend a year working with Radio 3 presenters and producers to develop their research and ideas into broadcasts. They will make their debut appearance on Radio 3's arts and ideas programme, Night Waves, on successive editions beginning Monday 3 June and will be invited to make regular contributions to the network throughout the year. They will deliver talks at Radio 3's annual Free Thinking Festival of Ideas at the Sage, Gateshead in October 2013. The academics will also have an opportunity to develop their ideas for television, including working with BBC Television Arts to make short taster films to be shown on the BBC Arts website.
The scheme received hundreds of applications from academics who are at the start of their careers and are passionate about communicating modern scholarship to a wider audience.
Following a six-month selection process, the winners were chosen from a group of 60 finalists, who attended a series of day-long workshops at the BBC's bases in Salford and London. The 10 were chosen by a judging panel made up of producers from Radio 3 and BBC Television Arts and academics from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Matthew Dodd, Head of Speech programming, BBC Radio 3, said: "Radio 3 commissions and nurtures new talent across music and the arts - and the New Generation Thinkers scheme is an integral part of that. Radio 3/AHRC New Generation Thinkers is a unique scheme: It's a partnership that helps academics begin thinking about the public dissemination of their work at the very start of their careers and make broadcasting integral to what they do. This year's applicants showed a sharp sophistication about how their research might make strong programmes - and a real willingness to reach beyond academia into the lives of our audience, and to find new formats to do that.”
Professor Rick Rylance, Chief Executive Arts and Humanities Research Council, said: “This scheme, the collaboration with enthusiastic colleagues from BBC Radio 3 and our work with the talented researchers who apply, continue to be highlights of the year's activities. We are delighted with the breadth of subjects covered and the range of cross-disciplinary projects being presented in innovative and engaging ways. This is generation three of the New Generation Thinkers and our hope is that the previous winners and the newcomers will continue to spread the word about the enormous public appetite for hearing about arts and humanities research."

In his role as Jack Pearson, Ventimiglia is an all-round family man. His onscreen marriage with actress Mandy Moore shows him to be the perfect husband — but how does that transfer into his actual personal life? Is Ventimiglia married or dating someone? Ventimiglia has never been married. This is largely because after two high-profile relationships with his co-stars, Ventimiglia decided that he did not want to deal with the pressures the press places on high-profile celebrity relationships.
In his most recent romantic pursuits, Ventimiglia has been incredibly quiet. But who is he dating now, and who has he dated in the past? Here is what we know. The last known relationship Ventimiglia was in was with Kelly Egarian, who is the marketing coordinator for fashion designer Stella McCartney. Although rumors of the two began in , there was no confirmation of the relationship until Sept. Despite not walking the red carpet together, they did sit together during the event and attended an after-party together.
It is widely assumed that the couple are still together, but they have not been photographed together often enough to know for sure. There has also not been a confirmation from either member of the couple.

If Vanessa Laine, then 17, was known for anything, it was for her sheltered life. Her parents scarcely permitted her to date. When she went with friends the year before to Magic Mountain, Laila Laine said, Vanessa had to call home hourly.
Her one stab at glamour — three months as a music video extra — fell into her lap when a company seeking fresh faces found her at a hip-hop concert. She’d gotten a handful of jobs, with her mom on-set to chaperone her. With a normal life. Now Vanessa Urbieta Cornejo Laine is year-old Vanessa Bryant, unlikely costar of one of the more compelling dramas in sports. Since , when Bryant married her, temporarily estranging his parents and others, she has been one of the few powerful influences on Los Angeles’ most powerful pro athlete.

Turabian) or by the shortened title, A Manual for Writers.
The style and formatting of academic works, described within the manual, is commonly referred to as "Turabian style" or "Chicago style" (being based on that of The Chicago Manual of Style).
This style involves sources being "briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and year of publication" with the parenthetical citations corresponding to "an entry in a reference list, where full bibliographic information is provided." The manual provides extensive examples of how to cite different types of works (e.g.
books, journal articles, websites, etc.) using both citation styles.
While The Chicago Manual of Style focuses on providing guidelines for publishing, Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is intended for the creation and submission of academic works; where the two works differ "in small ways," Turabian's manual is designed to "better suit the requirements of academic papers as opposed to published works." Part 1 of the manual approaches the process of research and writing.
This includes providing "practical advice" to formulate "the right questions, read critically, and build arguments" as well as helping authors draft and revise a paper.
This material has been thoroughly vetted by dissertation officials at colleges and universities across the country.
This seventh edition of Turabian’s Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is a classic reference revised for a new age.
The appendix also includes a description on preparing and submitting files, both electronically and as hard copies.
Her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, created from her years of experience with research projects across all fields, has sold more than seven million copies since it was first published in 1937. They preserve Turabian’s clear and practical advice while fully embracing the new modes of research, writing, and source citation brought about by the age of the Internet.


Retired NFL star Martellus Bennett recently spoke with EBONY about writing his children’s book, Dear Black Boy, and how his multimedia production company, The Imagination Agency, is creating outlets of escapism for Black and other children of color.
Dear Black Boy was illustrated, written and distributed by Bennett, 32, who said he has always seen himself as a creative who happened to be an athlete. The book is an adaption of his 2016 open letter of the same title published by The Players’ Tribune following the shooting deaths that year of two Black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, by law enforcement officers.
Those national stories had an impact on the former Patriots player, as did the lack of diversity he saw when he read books to his daughter.
“I started The Imagination Agency, and it’s really about creating a Black escapism experience through the things that I create where that’s apps, games, movies [and] books,” the former baller said. He hopes the platform is at the “forefront of storytelling for kids of color.”
“I want to give Black women in the world the freedom to use their imagination. They’ve been strong for so long, it’s just time to go on these adventures,” he added. “With Dear Black Boy, I wanted to encourage BIack boys to dream outside of sports and think differently . . . introducing them to the possibilities is really what the book is [about].”
The message that sports and entertainment careers are low-hanging fruit is something Bennett wants to push. He said that often when people become professional athletes, they don’t think about what will happen when that career is over.
“If you play sports, use sports,” he advised. “So many of our kids get used by the game and then get nothing out of it. Use it as a tool to open up other doors that you want to open in life.”
Bennett felt using sports metaphors throughout the book would create a conversation about the “game of life” and preparing Black boys to understand the obstacles they face because of how they are viewed in the United States.
“When I saw Alton Sterling, I saw myself. But other people don’t see him [that way, necessarily],” Bennett said of how Black men are seen as violent. “They don’t see what [Black people] see when we see each other. We see dreamers. We see dancers. We see magnificent people, but a lot of people just see danger when they look at the Black boy.”
Watch the full interview above to hear the former NFL star connect his book with Nipsey Hussle’s “marathon” slogan and other projects.
Dear Black Boy is available for purchase on The Imagination Agency’s website along with the Hey AJ series, books and apps based on Bennett’s daughter.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Are on the Same Team When It Comes to Football
It looks as if Gwen Stefani is such a loyal girlfriend that she's even adopted her boyfriend, Blake Shelton's, favorite NFL team as her own!
The two singers and Voice coaches spent New Years Eve 2019 together, along with their families, after they both performed on NBC’s New Year’s Eve 2020 broadcast—and Stefani showed off a sporty Arizona Cardinals knit hat that eve both in an Instagram post and as part of her Instagram stories.
This is particularly magnanimous of the Southern California native, especially seeing as the Cardinals most recently took a loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 29. However, Stefani is clearly deferring to her beau's longtime alliance to the Arizona team, which has been well-documented for quite some time. (In fact, Shelton takes credit for the Cardinals picking up quarterback Kyler Murray—who played college ball for Shelton's home state at the University of Oklahoma—in the 2019 draft.)
Aside from the sporty hat (and the 2020 headband she accessorized her accessory with), Stefani, Shelton, and their clan seemed to enjoy a no-frills New Year's Eve dressed in casual clothes and drinking bubbly, with Shelton even doing a ridiculous dance while watching Stefani perform "Hollaback Girl" on the NBC special.
And, even if the two lovebirds did happen to disagree on NFL loyalties, they have plenty of goodwill between them over their four-year dating relationship to even out any athletic rivalries. In fact, keeping with sports metaphors, one might even say they are each other's best cheerleaders.
Recently speaking to to Entertainment Tonight, Stefani marveled at how the two came together so well, even with both in their 40s and having suffered painful divorces. "Blake saved my life, everybody knows that....Like, we're just having the time of our lives, and we never expected that this late in our lives. So we're just trying to savor every moment together."
Stefani has just paired up with Shelton on a new song titled "Nobody But You," which aptly details the impact a love relationship can have on someone's life.

text: Last October Kevin, Brian, and I hooked up for Snowmass Mountain, so we decided to try and get together for another trip this year. We went back to the Ten Mile/Mosquito Range for a couple more Centennial Peaks. We drove to the upper four-wheel-drive trailhead at 11,500' and climbed Atlantic Peak's west ridge, traversed north to Pacific Peak, and then descended Pacific's southwest face. We didn't descend the west ridge of Pacific, because Brian brought his dog Mojo with. The weather was fairly cooperative and we had a good day.

In 2017 residents in the borough took part in the Draft Local Plan consultation. We received over 8000 responses of this plan. When the Plan was about to move to its next stage of consultation to be adopted there was a change in the way the Planning Authority had to determine Housing Need. This led to a new formula being produced by Central Government.
The formula which used ONS (Office of National Statistics) data specified the new need for Fareham was required to move from 420 houses per year to 520 houses per year until 2036. This was due to population demand, people living longer, and families requiring more than one house due to separations, and people living longer. Due to this increase, the Planning team within Fareham Borough Council decided to re-consult on the Draft Local Plan.
To enable the Planning team to identify the flavour of where the sites are which residents wanted to protect and where they suggested building, the Consultation team alongside the Planning team jointly produced an Issues and Options consultation. This consultation asked for comments on the whole borough, part of it asked for sites from the public that were derelict or running in disrepair that possibly could also be assessed for building on.
A total of 477 survey responses were submitted (plus an additional 15 submitted by statutory consultees and other planning stakeholders).
These 477 responses contained a total of 1495 comments on individual questions.
From the outcomes of this consultation, the Council was able to draft new proposed policies which protected coastline areas and landscapes. They also put together a Supplement documentation which specified areas which might best support development compared to those that were not. These new policies form the Draft Local Plan Supplement which was consulted upon in the early part of 2020.

Brain swelling, also known as cerebral edema, typically occurs when there is some type of injury to the brain, or when an illness afflicts the brain. There are numerous causes of swelling in the brain, including brain injury, stroke, infections, tumors, and altitude sickness. The swelling can occur in just one part of the brain, or throughout the brain. Short-term effects of swelling in the brain can include confusion, disorientation, vertigo, nausea, and agitation. Long-term effects of cerebral edema can include cognitive and language impairments, problems with memory, dizziness, headache, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
The human brain, like most other tissues of the human body, can swell in response to infection, injury, or disease. Swelling of the brain can be dangerous, however, because the bones of the skull often don't allow much room for brain swelling. Pressure can build up inside the skull, increasing the risk of brain damage with cerebral edema. When intracranial pressure occurs with cerebral swelling, the brain often doesn't receive the oxygen it needs to heal and function.
Causes of brain swelling can include infectious diseases like meningitis. Head injuries, brain tumors, strokes, and hemorrhages can also lead to swelling of parts of the brain, or of the whole brain. Altitude sickness can also lead to cerebral edema, especially when severe.
In the short term, brain swelling can have a number of physical and cognitive effects. Symptoms of brain swelling may be more or less severe depending on the severity of the swelling. Mild to moderate cerebral edema typically causes short-term symptoms nausea, light-headedness, vertigo, and confusion. More severe swelling may cause restlessness, agitation, vomiting, and drowsiness. Coordination and balance can be influenced, and the pupils of the eyes may fail to react properly to light stimulus.
In the long term, cerebral edema can have severe effects on cognitive functioning. Symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, and headache can continue. Insomnia, irritability, anxiety, and depression can occur. Cognitive difficulties, such decreased memory, inability to think clearly, and trouble paying attention or concentrating can all be among the long-term effects of cerebral edema. Language, reasoning, emotionality, and initiative can suffer in the long term due to brain swelling. The long-term effects of cerebral edema may endure for quite some time after the swelling has healed, even lasting for years.
