As the mass deaths caused by the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are commemorated in towns across the U.S. from August 6th through 9th, thousands are demanding that such a holocaust never be allowed to happen again.
A broad coalition of peace groups, religious leaders, and community organizations has formed to launch a national campaign urging the U.S. Congress and President to adopt a policy of No First Use of Nuclear Weapons. Organizers see the policy as a step on the road to the eventual abolition of all nuclear weapons by all nations.
“As long as the nuclear-armed nations maintain thousands of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert, the danger that these weapons of mass destruction will be used continues to increase,” said CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. Cole Harrison, Executive Director of Mass Peace Action, noted: “Our own Congress is funding an upgrade of our nuclear weapons triad, increasing the danger of an inadvertent or intentional nuclear exchange.”
According to MIT Professor Jonathan King, launching even a small number of these weapons risks the destruction of human civilization on our planet. Mass. Senator Edward J. Markey reported to a recent peace conference that: “The risk of inadvertent nuclear war has risen to a level that is simply unacceptable.”
A first-use nuclear strike is defined as an attack using nuclear weapons against an enemy that did not first launch a nuclear strike against the United States, its territories, or its allies. “The United States has never agreed to a No First Use policy and has nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert, ready to strike first and begin a nuclear war that could result in the deaths of billions of people around the globe,” said Steve Gallant of Mass. Peace Action.
Not only does the United States currently lack a pledge or policy of No First Use, but the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review actually expands the range of significant non-nuclear strategic attacks – whether they be cyber, chemical, or biological warfare – to which the U.S. may respond with use of nuclear weapons.
Professor Elaine Scarry, author of “Thermonuclear Monarchy”, points out that the President of the United States has the sole authority to order the launch of hundreds of nuclear warheads within minutes, without consultation or agreement from any other sector of U.S. government or society: not the Cabinet, nor the Congress, nor the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nor the Supreme Court. Princeton’s Proffessor Zia Mian notes that this power holds even though “any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the present day constitutes a crime against humanity and a crime under international law.”
Legislation has been introduced into both the House and Senate restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons. Representative Adam Smith (D-WA), Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, introduced the “No First Use Act” in the House (H.R. 2603) and Senate (S.1219). President Biden is on record supporting a No First Use nuclear policy and should sign this legislation when it passes.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2021 (H.R.669 and S.1148). It prohibits the use of federal funds to conduct a first-use nuclear strike unless Congress expressly authorizes such a strike pursuant to a declaration of war.
Pamela Richard of Peace Action of Wisconsin makes clear that “while we urge the passage of these bills as a first step, what is needed is the universal acceptance of the recent UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, banning the development, testing, production, stockpiling, stationing, transfer, use and threat of use of nuclear weapons. Our long term goal is total nuclear disarmament.”
The Coalition will be carrying out educational campaigns on college and university campuses, on law school campuses, and among major social organizations such as the Rotarians and other civic groups. Organizations promoting the “No First Use: Decreasing the Dangers of Nuclear War” Campaign include CODEPINK; Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security; Chicago Area Peace Action; Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility; Institute for People’s Engagement; Massachusetts Peace Action; Peace Action Maine; MIT Radius; Peace Action of Wisconsin; Peaceworks of Kansas City; and other nuclear disarmament advocacy groups.


text: The Fas ligand (FasL) is expressed in activated T cells and induces apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells. A cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clone specific for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) causes an acute liver disease in HBsAg transgenic mice. Here we observed that the CTL clone killed hepatocytes expressing HBsAg in a Fas-dependent manner. Administration of the soluble form of Fas into HBsAg transgenic mice prevented the CTL-induced liver disease. In the second model, mice were primed with Propionibacterium acnes. A subsequent challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) killed the mice by inducing liver injury. Neutralization of FasL rescued the mice from LPS-induced mortality, and Fas-null mice were resistant to LPS-induced mortality. These results suggest that FasL has an essential role in the development of hepatitis.

Premium Fruit Juices - 250ml / 1000ml glass bottles - 10 varieties
All varieties are available in 250ml, with those asterisked also available in 1000ml bottles.
Our apple juice is made from blending the juice from two apple varieties: Russet apples and Jonagold apples grown in orchards in Sussex, Kent and the Three Counties*
Pineapple Juice - The Golden Sweet pineapple is a recent addition to the pineapple family and traces its origins back to the 1960s in Hawaii. 20 years later the Costa Ricans realised that they had the perfect habitat and environment for it and it now dominates pineapple growing in their country.
Folkington's Orange Juice is made using late-harvested Valencia Late oranges, a variety noted for its intense and sweet flavour plus a selected blend of early-harvested varieties including Navelina and Salustiana. The oranges have been grown by farming co-operatives principally in the Spanish region of Valencia*
Folkington's mango juice nectar is pressed from Magdalena River mangos harvested from groves situated along the Cauca and Magdalena rivers in western Colombia. Both river valleys are rich in biodiversity, crossing a wide variety of ecosystems before reaching the Caribbean Sea.
Our Cloudy Pear Juice made from a blend of Conference and Comice pears grown in orchards in Kent and the Three Counties (Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire). To add a bit of extra sweetness and texture, we have added pear purée from Kent grown Conference pears*
Folkington's old-fashioned pink lemonade is made from the finest Femminello Comune family of lemons grown by farming co-operatives in Sicily and pressed locally (near Palermo) within 48 hours of harvesting. To this wonderfully fresh lemon juice we have added a dash of pure British raspberry juice to pinkify*
Folkington's cranberry juice drink is made from the Stevens variety of cranberry grown on the southeastern side of the St Lawrence River, Quebec, Canada. Situated some 500km north of the main N. American cranberry growing regions, Quebec's cooler climate creates an environment that is less dependent on the use of pesticides while also producing a fruit that is slightly sharper in taste.
Best of British Berries is made with a blend of pure fruit juices of raspberries, strawberries and blackcurrants gathered from farms around Britain. Our blend includes the Pixley Noir variety, which is grown exclusively in Herefordshire*
Folkington's Old-Fashioned Elderflower Drink is made with an infusion of wild elderflowers hand-picked from hedgerows in the Cuckmere River valley (Sussex) and across the Southwest of England*
Tomato Juice is pressed from late-harvested tomatoes grown in small farming communities based around the River Ebro in the Spanish region of Navarra*

Save Our Scissett campaigners near Huddersfield have vowed to keep fighting after Kirklees councillors voted to grant Redrow outline permission for up to 200 homes off Pilling Lane.
The same planning committee had previously rejected the scheme but the council feared it would lose an appeal due to be heard in January.
Developers resubmitted the plans and council planners said they could not be resisted because they could no longer rely on a “core strategy” document which was dropped earlier this year.
Yesterday Save Our Scissett spokeswoman Linda Heeley said a judicial review application was not being ruled out.
“We are all a bit shell-shocked. We are having a committee meeting at the beginning of January when we will be looking at our options and taking some legal advice.”
Two MPs had backed villagers.

(Wallace Refiners) – Firefinch (ASX: FFX) announced Friday that open pit mining operations have commenced at its 80% owned Morila gold mine in Mali.
The company said that mining is underway at Morila Pit 5, a mining area located on the western margin of the Morila Super Pit. Malian owned and operated contractor EGTF have mobilised a new 100 tonne class fleet, completed all mining preparatory works including re-establishment of the haul road to the crushers, and commenced mining and haulage to the crusher run of mine (RoM) stockpiles.
Firefinch added that approximately 100,000 tonnes of Morila Pit 5 ore have already been hauled to RoM stockpiles. This complements approximately 530,000 tonnes of ore mechanically mined from the Tailings Facility already stockpiled. The stockpiled ore will be the feed used to commission the recently refurbished plant comminution circuit. Commissioning of the comminution circuit will commence later this month.
Firefinch noted that the company acquired 80% interest in Morila from Barrick Gold and AngloGold Ashanti “at a substantial discount” in November 2020 with the view to increase production at the 4.5mtpa mill from a current annual production profile of 40,000 ounces of gold to up to 200,000 ounces of gold per annum.
Morila has produced 7.5 million ounces of gold since 2000; it was one of the world’s highest grade open pits some 12 to 20 years ago. The company estimated that currently, there is 2.43 million ounces of gold in the global resource at Morila. Morila’s geological limits are not well understood, thus exploration is a major focus at Morila, its satellite resources and multiple targets on the 685km2 of surrounding tenure.

Meetings held on ferry toll proposal
Published: Sunday, February 9, 2014 at 05:09 PM.
Area residents will have an opportunity to comment this week on a proposal that will mean new and increased fees for riding North Carolina’s ferries.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is holding a series of meetings this month, with one scheduled in the local area. A public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City.
A presentation on the proposal will be given at the start of the meeting, with public questions and comments to follow. Those wishing to speak should arrive early in order to sign in.
The current proposal calls for increasing fees on the Southport/Fort Fisher, Swan Quarter/Ocracoke, Cedar Island/Ocracoke routes and establish tolls at the Cherry Branch/Minnesott, Currituck/Knots Island and Ocracoke/Hatteras routes.
For the two routes in the local area it would mean new costs for those using the Cherry Branch/Minnesott route and higher rates to ride the Cedar Island/Ocracoke ferry.
The Cherry Branch route is primarily used by commuters, who now ride free. The fees would range from 50 cents for a pedestrian per ride to $3 for the average car of 20 feet or less. Larger vehicles would pay more.
A pedestrian rider at Cedar Island would see fees increase from $1 to $5. For vehicles 20 feet or less, the price jumps from $15 to $25.

I love Christmas. More specifically, I love the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. I love the traditions of Christmas: the parties with family and friends; the trees and lights; the carols; the cheery, excited children getting out of school for the holidays; Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin; and all of the Christmas goodies. At home, Lauri makes the house feel like a house should feel at Christmas. At work, the ladies do the same thing. There’s a magic about it all.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is breaking out the Christmas movies. My definition of “Christmas movie” does not include Bill Murray’s “Scrooged” or Bruce Willis’s “Die Hard.” It has to be about Christmas. Here are my favorites:
“It’s a Wonderful Life.” (1946) Frank Capra’s classic movie starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, it is a movie about a man’s personal legacy and self-worth. Lauri introduced me to this movie and it quickly became my favorite.
“It Happened On Fifth Avenue.” (1947) Last year while I was laid-up nursing my wounds, I watched a lot of Netflix. I had never heard of this movie, but tried it. I loved it. Why is this movie not better known? According to WikiPedia there is a reason for the film’s obscurity: “After 1990, this film essentially disappeared from broadcast and retail availability. Despite an Academy Award nomination, a cult film following through a dedicated fan website, and requests to Turner Classic Movies and American Movie Classics to show the film, it was not shown on American television for almost twenty years. It finally aired on Turner Classic Movies in 2009 and appears frequently during the holiday season in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Hallmark Movie Channel also broadcast the film in 2014.” Watch it. You’ll like it.
“A Muppet Christmas Carol” (1992) Some of you are thinking, “Really, Larry? A Muppet movie?” Yes, a Muppet movie. When our oldest son, Michael, was a child, we did what parents do and rented VHS (that was a thing then) movies for children. This one got my attention. Unlike many modern versions of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, this version didn’t strip Dickens’s story of its Christian content. And how can you not like Statler and Waldorf at Fozziwig’s Christmas party?
“A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965) In a recent staff blog post, Ben Halbrooks tells the story of how this little classic almost never happened because Charles Shultz refused to allow producers to remove the Gospel from it. Linus’s narration of The Christmas Story is wonderful.
“A Christmas Story” (1983) Author Jean Shepherd’s childhood memories of Christmas in 1950s Wisconsin are full of nostalgia and Americana. When I first saw this film in the 1980s, I didn’t like it. It struck me as jaded. Over the years, however, I have come to appreciate the heart of this film. Darrin McGavin is terrific as Ralphie’s gruff father who swears like “an artist,” but who is, at the end of the day, a pretty good father.
“The Bells of St. Mary’s” (1945) Bing Crosby plays Father O’Malley and Ingrid Bergman is Sister Mary Benedict. Sister Mary Benedict is determined to save the Catholic school which is threatened with closure; Father O’Malley is determined to save Sister Mary Benedict. Both seemed made to play these roles.
“Holiday Inn” (1942) I have to throw in a final favorite and, in doing so, I violate my own rule. This movie isn’t really a Christmas movie. There’s no manger scene and while Christmas is part of the movie, it isn’t all of it. But this movie gave us Bing Crosby singing “White Christmas,” so it works. Add Fred Astaire’s dancing and you have a classic. I think what I love most about this film is the home and the life Bing Crosby’s character longs to create: a secluded place in the forest with rocking chairs by a crackling fire, a well stocked kitchen, friendly people who seek shelter from a world gone mad–it all just speaks of a warm hospitality. I long for just such a life, but am not meant to have it.
I hope that you and your families enjoy the traditions of Christmas. Embrace them. Have fun with them. Most of all, celebrate them and the birth of our Lord and Savior with your family and friends.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 4 MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAPP) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $14.1 million compared to $9.9 million during the same period in 2009. MAP Pharmaceuticals had $69.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010, compared to $65.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $0 compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2009. The revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was due to amortization of a $40.0 million upfront payment received in February 2009 and reimbursements for development expenses related to Unit Dose Budesonide (UDB), pursuant to MAP Pharmaceuticals' previous license agreement with AstraZeneca.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $9.8 million compared to $14.1 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was driven primarily by a decrease in clinical and other related expenses to support the UDB Phase 3 clinical program which was suspended in July 2009, partially offset by an increase in other general R&D expenses.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $3.9 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses was related primarily to an increase in personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and an increase in professional services and LEVADEX related marketing activities.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation was approximately $1.8 million.
"We have been highly productive in 2010 with the continued evaluation of patients and subjects in our ongoing trials necessary for NDA submission as well as with scientific presentations at the American Academy of Neurology meeting of additional efficacy data for LEVADEX in hard-to-treat patient subpopulations," said Timothy S. Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of MAP Pharmaceuticals. "These accomplishments, coupled with the FDA notification that a second pivotal efficacy trial of LEVADEX will not be required, are bringing us closer to our goal of serving migraine patients, including those who are currently underserved by available therapeutic options."
About MAP Pharmaceuticals
MAP Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to developing and commercializing new therapies for patients suffering from conditions that are not adequately treated by currently available medicines. The Company is developing LEVADEX orally inhaled therapy for the potential treatment of migraine and has reported positive results from the efficacy portion of its Phase 3 trial of LEVADEX. In addition, MAP Pharmaceuticals generates new pipeline opportunities by applying its proprietary drug particle and inhalation technologies to enhance the therapeutic benefits of proven drugs, while minimizing risk by capitalizing on their known safety, efficacy and commercialization history.

The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

Probiotic Support for Athletes
Klean Probiotic capsules from Klean Athlete may benefit athletes who wish to support their immune system and intestinal microflora with potent amounts of beneficial microorganisms.
This formula helps balance bacteria in your gut so the nutrients you require to perform can be properly absorbed into your bloodstream.
And as strenuous exercise can suppress your immune system, Klean Probiotic is also formulated to help support your body's immune response.
Overall, it provides 15 billion beneficial live organisms to promote a healthy intestinal tract and immune system. It features eight varieties of probiotics, as well as a prebiotic, to help balance the bacteria in your gut and aid proper nutrient absorption.
Probiotic Support for Microflora Balance
Probiotics are live, beneficial intestinal micro-organisms for nutritional health and well-being. Two forms, lactobacilli and bifidobacterium, colonize your intestinal tract.
Various intestinal conditions can compromise the immune system and lower the amounts of healthy intestinal microflora.
Regular intake of such potent probiotics as Klean Probiotic may increase the chances of establishing and maintaining a healthy population of beneficial intestinal microorganisms.
Once established, a normal intestinal microflora rich in lactobacilli results in acidic conditions that are unfavorable for pathogenic microorganisms and support immune function.
Prebiotics Help Microflora Flourish
The prebiotic in this formula functions as a non-digestible food source for selected groups of beneficial intestinal microflora, such as lactobacillus. While probiotics merely add beneficial microflora, prebiotics affect the intestinal environment so that beneficial colonies of microflora can flourish.
Probiotics and prebiotics may also benefit mineral absorption and metabolism and bone composition due to improved gut functioning, as well as other factors.
This supplement has been certified by the NSF Certified for Sport program, set up to assure athletes, coaches, and healthcare professionals that formulas are free from banned substances.
For best results, take one capsule daily.

Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley on Thursday pleaded not guilty to four misdemeanor charges related to his alleged participation in the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6.
Kelley has previously claimed that despite storming the Capitol steps on Jan. 6, he did not join the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the building and only engaged in “First Amendment activity” on the day of the insurrection.
Kelley reportedly appeared by video Thursday with his attorney, Gary Springstead, who announced the “not guilty” pleas on behalf of his client, according to the Detroit Free Press. Judge Christopher Cooper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia scheduled a Sept. 22 status conference as the next hearing in the case.
Kelley faces charges of entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct, knowingly engaging in an act of physical violence against a person or property, and willfully injuring property.
Kelley’s not guilty plea comes a day after he boasted about his allegiance to former President Trump and his election fraud falsehoods during a debate against other Michigan GOP primary candidates. While pushing the Big Lie, each of the four GOP candidates attempted to prove they’re more Trump-y than the rest of the pack.
During the debate, Kelly, who has become the highest-polling Republican in the race since his arrest last month on the Jan. 6-related misdemeanor charges, falsely tied the high cost of gas in the country to Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.
“Jan. 6, 2021, back when gas was under $2 a gallon,” Kelley said, referring to a debunked claim that’s been floating around the internet. “Those were good times.”
Following Kelley’s arrest last month, his lawyer Springstead asked if his client could keep his gun. Springstead argued that Kelley’s request should be granted because he “is a bit of a high-profile candidate in Michigan” who lacks a security team, according to the Detroit Free Press. Springstead reportedly said Kelley “asked that he be permitted to carry his firearm for his own self-defense, during the campaign.”
The judge rejected Kelley’s request, noting that the safety of other people, such as pre-trial officials who will pay visits to Kelley’s home, must be taken into account as well.
The debate among the four unconventional candidates comes after a signature forgery scandal in Michigan shook up the primaries. Five of the other Republicans running for governor failed to make the Aug. 2 primary ballot because they submitted thousands of forged signatures to the state.

Parents offered genetic testing to predict their risks of common, adult-onset health conditions say they would also test their children. That is the finding of a new study published in the journal Pediatrics.
The study authors note these and other findings should put paediatricians on alert that parents may chose predictive genetic tests for themselves and for their children, and seek guidance from doctors about what to do with the information.
"The findings of our study should remind clinicians and policy-makers to consider children when regulating genetic tests," says Tercyak, the study's lead author.
"These tests usually don't offer a clean bill of health and can be hard to interpret even in the best scenario. They identify incremental risks for many common diseases. Most people carry some risk based on a combination of their family history, genetics, and lifestyle. A child's unexpected test results could trigger negative reactions among parents and children, and lead to conversations at the paediatrician's office that providers aren't prepared to have."

Inter Alia is active in the fields of education, advocacy, youth work and culture with the aim to:
- Promote and enhance civic action and civil society’s interconnectedness and effectiveness in influencing decision-making at any level;
- Empower youth and increase employment opportunities through training, skills development, and civic and social participation;
- Confront interpersonal and intergroup stereotypes and enhance intercultural understanding inside and outside the perceived limits of Europe as a means to peace and well-being.
Inter Alia is a civic action, non-profit organisation aiming at the creation of an inclusive and active European civil society. It supports the venture of the European economic and political Union and, at the same time, stands critical against EU bureaucratisation, detachment of European institutions from its citizens, centralised decision-making, EU self-referentiality, and washing-hands politics. Inter Alia seeks openness, inclusiveness, respect, tolerance, equality, extroversion, diversity and interconnectedness. We believe that the sustainable construction of such a Europe can only be achieved with the active participation of the people. European civil societies need to pressure and claim for their greater and more substantial involvement in social and political processes.
Inter Alia envisions a future of participation where citizens will be in the driver’s seat, leading developments. In a world of frantic pace, constant information flow and increased professional requirements, people need not only to develop and synthesise diverse skills and tools, but also to head the initiatives in the social, political and professional sphere. Inter Alia, believing in the creative power of active citizens, engages with them in a relationship of mutual learning and joint benefit.
Inter Alia considers the expansion, vitalisation and enhancement of civic action and the involvement of stereotyped and stigmatised areas of the world, essential for the development of European civil society. Europe cannot evolve in a sustainable manner when being phobic and defensive to the worldwide society. Inclusiveness and constant exchange of ideas can constructively influence and enrich European societies. Citizens can grow stronger by turning their attention to the world. Besides, what can one know of Europe, who only Europe knows?
Inter Alia began as a recognition of shared ideas and concerns of three young people with expertise in political and financial studies. It was created in 2013 in Athens, in the shadow of a deepening crisis as a new, autonomous and self-funded initiative. Its aim was to create space for citizens and communities at a national and European level to share knowledge and expertise, and develop impactful civic action in a range of fields. The initiative responded to gaps identified in the civic space — the basis of an open and democratic society — by the three founding members after working as volunteers, interns and pro bono researchers for various organisations and think tanks. In its first steps, Inter Alia was supported by friends, colleagues and many others who were excited about the prospect of this fresh initiative and therefore lent a hand by supporting the founders with legal and financial advice, and making suggestions about the initiative’s structure and positioning.
The name of the organisation, “Inter Alia”, means “among others” in Latin. Based on a philosophy of cooperation and reciprocity “Inter Alia” works to advance political education, social transformation and collective action. It expresses the intention to stand willingly and joyfully among others, co-create, make concessions, and enable common progress and collective intelligence.
The symbol and logo of Inter Alia is the artichoke, a Mediterranean vegetable symbolising fertility, which in case of IA represents fertility of ideas. It has strong layers of leaves and a tender heart. Placed in the context of political education, social transformation and collective action, this symbol can be interpreted in many different ways. We invite you to find and choose your preferred one.
At its first steps, IA was a self-funded initiative that grew in the shadow of a deepening, multi-faceted crisis. The aim was to create spaces for citizens and communities at local and European level to share knowledge and expertise, and to develop transformative civic action.
IA’s work is based on three fields: a. the Roots School of Critical and Explorative Learning, b. the Heart Civic Intervention Point and c. the Bloom Space for Culture and Arts. Under these pillars fall the organisation’s activities, which are designed and implemented according to strategies developed on the axes of Culture & Arts, Education, Youth and Political Engagement.
The organisation is supported and guided by two advisory bodies: the Advisory Board consisted by intellectuals, artists and academics from around the globe and the Council of Members composed by people who wished to strengthen relations with the organisation through mutual commitment.

I am a very sweet, kind, and sociable lady. I love meeting friends and chatting with them about all sorts of important and not so things. I will always find something to talk about. Everyone says I have a good sense of humor. I am a purposeful person, I achieve everything myself, I do not go over the heads, but I clearly see my goal and strive for it. Responsibility is one of my notable character traits. I am always very responsible in all situations and you can always count on me.

Don’t make me throw this hummus. It’s spicy!
Chris Butler’s ParaNorman is ParaBoring. You know your animated feature is in trouble when the funniest lines uttered in the entire film are: “Don’t make me throw this hummus. It’s spicy!” They occur roughly fifteen minutes into the film.
Young Norman Babcock (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee of the horrible American remake of Let Me In, which was based on the remarkable John Ajvide Lindqvist novel Let the Right One In) has the ability to see dead people. How did this come about? No explanation needed apparently. He didn’t drink spider piss on a dare or eat just enough rat poison to alter his senses. He didn’t hang upside-down naked from the steeple of a nunnery for fifteen minutes or lick a skunk’s tail. He didn’t get sick with Cotard’s Syndrome (which would actually make sense and be kind of interesting) or tongue kiss a corpse. Or maybe he did do all these things. We just don’t know. All we do know for certain, is that he can see, hear, and communicate with the dead for some reason.
Of course the townsfolk of Blithe Hollow don’t believe in his supernatural abilities and surprise, surprise, Norman finds himself an outcast both at home where his father just doesn’t understand him, and at school where the resident bully Alvin picks on him mercilessly.
Predictably, he does eventually make friends with the local fat kid / thrower of hummus Neil Downe, who helps him on his fantastical quest to rid the town of a witch’s curse and all of the zombies that go along with it. If only it was all even remotely entertaining.
Filmed in stop motion 3D, the feature comes across as a poor man’s rip off of something Tim Burton would make. It features a father (voiced by Jeff Garlin) who refers to his son’s activities as being those of “a limp-wristed hippie” and teenage boy (voiced by Casey Affleck) who acts interested in Norman’s sister for the bulk of the film only to reveal at the very last possible second that he’s got a “chick-flick” loving boyfriend. Kid friendly? The MPAA thought so. They slapped a PG rating on the whole sorry thing. Perhaps they were guessing that no one would bother to see it.
Critics have called the film “bold” and “daring” when what they mean to say is “derivative” and “uninspired.” The only good thing about this fecal smelling outing is the voice acting of John Goodman, who so far has shown up in not one, not two, but three Oscar nominated pictures this year (Flight, Argo.) He’s brings the funny as Norman’s crazy Uncle Prenderghast, a man who can also see ghosts. Why? Haha! Like you’re going to get a reason, c’mon!
The scariest thing about this film isn’t the zombies or the interesting dialog and character choices that were made. No, the scariest thing is that this film actually raked in $105 million dollars worldwide. Seriously? Whatever happened to word of mouth? Do we all really hate each other that much now?
Real friends don’t let friends see shit like ParaNorman. Thanks Academy, thanks a lot.

If you are in an organization or honored by one, that enlists the inclusion of real estate professionals from organizations such as Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Kushner Companies, CIT, Carlyle Ground and Cushman and Wakefield one would think you are certainly in good company. Add to that the fifteen-year television anchor of “The Stoler Report; NY’s Business Report”, Michael Stoler and you know you have the attention of all those in the immediate real estate and funding center of the tri-county New York area. This esteemed group, Columbus Citizens Foundation just honored William Skelley, founder and chief executive officer of iFunding as the next generation of real estate leadership. What has earned Skelley such an honor? Skelley’s groundbreaking venture, iFunding is the largest platform in commercial real estate development crowdfunding. A disruptive idea from the start, Skelley has experience in being disruptive.
Harvard Business School professor, Dr. Clayton Christensen specializes in “disruptive innovation” and met William Skelley during his education there. After working at Olympus and General Electric, Skelley went on to work with Dr. Christensen when he founded Rose Park Advisors. The hedge fund had William Skelley as its principal. After that experience, Skelley went on to found his own boutique investment bank where he raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Skelley himself, while there underwrote over $2 billion in real estate transaction deals. It was after that experience that he founded iFunding.
Built around the idea that any accredited investor, even though far removed from Wall Street and New York real estate funding should have access to the type of returns the commercial real estate market returns. Investors can invest as little as $5,000 in order to gain access into multi-million dollar real estate deals. iFunding does all the due diligence in underwriting the transactions it offers on its site. Since they oversee the project from its inception through the investments life cycle they can offer their investors transparent insight as well as oversight. Anybody can register on the iFunding website.
iFunding has financed over 40 real estate transactions and noticed a full 85% growth rate its very first year in existence in 2012. Since then iFunding has offered investors deals in crowdfunding on everything from single family homes and renovations to mixed use buildings, multi-family dwellings, condos, malls, offices, hotels and resorts, to apartment towers. One can see William Skelley this spring on Real Heartland, where he will appear on a financial panel with Regional Capital Group’s Paul Braungart.

Bhupinder Singh, manager of Nagameez restaurant at Jayanagar in Guwahati was mowed down by an Innova on at around 11.50 pm on January 13 at Jayanagar Chariali. 35-five-year old Singh was from Diphu in Karbi Anglong district.
Since Guwahati City Police is still clueless and have failed to arrest anyone, Northeast Now has raised some questions about the murder:
# Why has Guwahati Police failed to arrest the killer driver or confiscate the vehicle even after 96 hours of the murder?
# The CCTV footage which gave a side view of the Innova vehicle was apparently taken from a nearby shop. Why didn’t the Guwahati Police install CCTV cameras at Jayanagar Chariali?
# Why was one Sanjib Paul, an illegal coal trader was arrested in the connection? What he had to do with the murder of Bhupinder Singh?
# Family members of Bhupinder Singh alleged that it was a pre-planned murder. Why are the police silent over the allegation?
# People in Jayanagar Chariali area alleged that the two females and the male driver of the vehicle were “influential people”. Is the government or the police trying to protect the “influential” killer driver?

“… And then the pandemic hit.”
It was a common phrase heard in the first half of 2020, and even shining stars of the local tech galaxy weren’t immune to the economic fallout that followed COVID-19’s U.S. debut.
At the beginning of this new decade, Technical.ly’s editorial team called out the top 10 startups in each of our markets that showed the most promise as innovators and as companies that would elevate our respective cities’ tech communities.
In Philadelphia, we selected 10 RealLIST Startups — all founded in the past three years — as current movers and shakers of the tech and entrepreneurship ecosystem ranging in industry from data to robotics to biotech to jobs training.
The founders and leaders of these companies have varying backgrounds: Some are first-time founders, while others we’ll dub “serial entrepreneurs.” Some companies have a small staff of a few employees while others are rapidly hiring.
As we do every year (although, nothing is quite normal in 2020), we reached out to our 2020 RealLIST startup companies to see how things have changed for them six months later. Here’s what they told us.
This precision medicine company is run by two former venture capital investors, Tracy Warren and Tammi Jantzen, who have since taken their savvy in raising money for others to their own startup. The team had an especially banner year in 2019 — raising a $5 million Series A round in May and an additional $3.5 million in November.
When the pandemic hit, it was hard to get medical centers to focus on the company’s flagship product, NICUtrition, a suite of digital tools and diagnostics that supports feeding protocols, practice and decision making in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for premature babies, Jantzen told Technical.ly.
“We were thrilled to double the size of the team in early 2020 and then the pandemic hit. Selling our NICUtrition solution to hospitals was challenging as they were all laser-focused on COVID-19, however we are now seeing movement from our hospital clients and are optimistic about the remainder of 2020,” she said. “In addition, we have completed analysis of our NICUbiome dataset and plan to introduce the solution by the end of the year.”
The on-demand graphic design startup, founded in 2017, became a go-to for companies looking for design services and has some mass appeal from its unique subscription model: unlimited design services managed through proprietary software for a flat rate per month. It’s been heralded for extending those services to Camden nonprofits that couldn’t afford them for a single dollar. It earned enough clout to land on the Inc. 5000 list last year at number 1,006.
Penji set up shop in Camden near the waterfront two years ago, but its significant staff growth — up to about 60, as of November, cofounder and CEO Khai Tran said — was cause for the startup to move operations over the Ben Franklin Bridge to Philly in fall 2019. Tran told Technical.ly at the time: “The mission didn’t change. Just the location did.”
Because of the planned move, Tran told Technical.ly the team had already been working remotely, and have continued to do so during the pandemic.
Penji’s graphic design membership model “actually grew so much within the last six months that we are expanding and building several new products,” he wrote in an email. “We are launching an SEO content marketing membership and a SaaS software both scheduled to launch first quarter of 2021.”
Three-time founder Bob Moore jumped into his latest project, “LinkedIn for data” startup Crossbeam, in 2018 with cofounder Buck Ryan. The duo raised a $12.5 million Series A in August led by FirstMark Capital with participation from existing investors First Round Capital, Uncork Capital and Slack Fund.
Since we talked to the company at the beginning of this year, Moore said that the startup’s focus on partnerships has made for good business in 2020, when you can’t make connections IRL. Moore said the team has broken its own records this past quarter, picked up some exciting new clients and grown to a team of 28 (about double this time last year) with plans for a few more additional roles.
“To keep our team connected, we’ve tried to be creative: Everyone has an Oculus Go headset for VR social events and gaming, we have had several Zoom trivia nights, and everyone received a custom ‘snackathon’ snack box in the mail for our recent fully virtual hackathon,” Moore said.
And, hey, it looks like the company wrote an ebook:
🎉 WE WROTE A BOOK AND IT'S ONLINE NOW! 🎉 The Partner Playbook is @Crossbeam's comprehensive guide to building best-in-class partner programs, succeeding as a partnerships leader, and more. It's free to download here: https://t.co/FiLcZi6Irb
— Bob Moore (@robertjmoore) July 13, 2020
This news subscription startup was born in Brooklyn, but lured to the City of Brotherly Love for the 2019 LIFT Labs accelerator class — and has since decided to make Philly its home. NICKL, and its product NICKLpass, found success in the idea of bundling and selling news outlet subscriptions to groups, namely companies
Since we talked to Zaza in early 2020, the founder has been busy, especially since everyone has seemed to be tuning in for more news during the pandemic.
“People aren’t just interested in the breaking news, but also what [the virus] means for their team, their jobs, their life,” he told us in May. “Because of that, it’s created a lot of demand.”
The startup now has more than 150 publishers on board and raised recent round of bridge fundraising, $225,000.
The Northeast Philly startup is run by two childhood friends, Yossi Levi and Jake Levin, with years of experience in traditional auto sales and a stint at goPuff for Levin, who helped launch the local delivery service company that got a $750 million investment in 2019. The pair launched the showroom-less auto seller in 2018, essentially an online platform where folks could shop for a used, reasonably priced car and get it delivered the next day.
The company raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding in 2018 which included San Francisco-based e.ventures. A Gettacar spokesperson told Technical.ly in December that it employed 100 people locally and operates a 25,000-square-foot reconditioning center in Northeast Philly.
Early this month, the company announced it expanded to the Washington, D.C. area, six months after it expanded to Baltimore.
“Even before the pandemic we saw a huge demand from consumers looking for an easy and accessible way to get in the driver’s seat without spending hours at a dealership,” the cofounders said in a statement. “Now that demand is growing even more as car buyers look to practice social distancing and take advantage of our contactless delivery. People feel even more uncomfortable going to a traditional dealership during the pandemic, so our experience makes a lot more sense because of how easy, fast, and safe it is.”
QuotaPath made the 2019 RealLIST for reasons that remain true in 2020: It raised a $1.5 million seed round led by Austin-based ATX Seed Ventures and angel investors, and the company’s profile is raised with cofounder AJ Bruno. His first company, TrendKite, was acquired in 2018 in a nine-digit deal. The company also raised $3.5 million, doubled its employee headcount and had a company kickoff in Philadelphia where it flew its Austin employees up for a hackathon and a day of strategic sessions.
Six months into 2020, Bruno told Technical.ly that the pandemic forced the company to push back its paid launch because of COVID, but finally went live with it in June. The company had one its most productive quarters to date, and is now 25% above its early March high in terms of total users. The team has also added two people to its headcount.
“No job losses from us and I’m thankful the team responded so quickly and well to the work from home change,” Bruno said.
This Pennovation Center-based medtech startup was founded by University of Pennsylvania grad Rui Jing Jiang in 2017 while she was at The Wharton School. The company’s product, VisiPlate, aims to treat open-angle glaucoma with an ocular implant that’s designed to remove excess fluid from inside the eye. The device releases pressures that damage the optic nerve.
In 2019, the company said it was funded via non-dilutive grants and awards including a $225,000 federal government grant from the National Science Foundation and additional funding from Penn, Ben Franklin Technology Partners and VentureWell E-Teams, among others. Last year, Avisi went through the MedTech Innovator Accelerator based in San Francisco.
And since we last checked in, the company was one of 13 accepted to the UCSF Rosenman Institute startup cohort, and had its patent issued and trademark approved, Jiang said.
This job training and reskilling company was started in NYC, but its founder, Pennsylvania native Kristy McCann Flynn, told Technical.ly last year that she was coming home to run the business from Philly. McCann Flynn launched the company in 2018 to offer a SaaS and customer-facing solution to the professional development market.
The app relies on a network of customers and career coaches who work together to bring folks up to speed on current workforce trends and skills. It tracks KPIs, has behavioral assessments and brings in a range of “coaches” for various industries. The company is remote friendly, and has a handful of employees in Philly, New York, California, Washington and North Carolina.
Since the start of the pandemic, business for virtual job training has been up, McCann Flynn said. The company has trained 3,500 “future leaders,” helped more than 300 displaced “coachees” and getting at least 25% of them back into the workforce, and is planning to announce a new partnership toward the end of summer.
Former professional chef Jared Cannon launched this line of jarred, ready-to-go meals stored in connected smart fridges at the end of 2017, and has seen slow but steady success with the venture since. Cannon was chosen for New York-based Food-X, an accelerator program for food-related startups, in 2019, and said Simply Good Jars had tapped a handful of Fortune 500 companies as customers.
Since the beginning of 2020, Cannon has had to shift the company’s business model, since many office buildings and meeting locations (where many of the smart fridges were located) have been empty. The company has started offering at-home delivery service, and recently partnered up with delivery startup goPuff to expand its reach.
Cannon also said the biz has completed full commercialization of the products for regional distribution, launching in more than 60 locations in Chicago over Easter weekend and secured placement in 175 Sheetz locations on Memorial Day weekend. The company is also opening up bridge round of fundraising for $750,000 to achieve annual revenue of $1.7 million in 2020.
“With the closing of salad bars and buffets pretty much everywhere, we believe the second half of 2020 will provide a new opportunity to help bridge the gap between shuttered salad bars and catered events,” Cannon said in an email. “We also have some new exciting partnerships underway utilizing our vending technology in entirely different ways and also expanding our regional distribution footprint.”
10. FORT Robotics
The one-year-old company is a spinout of Humanistic Robotics, which was founded in 2004 and created devices to keep humans safe from landmines which were deployed in areas such as Afghanistan and Southeast Asia. In about a year, FORT, which has a mission to create a secure, end-to-end wireless platform that ensures human safety around dangerous machines, grew from its original team of 10 to about 25 employees and raised $4 million in seed funding in 2019.
The company didn’t respond to requests for comment about an update, but its LinkedIn and careers pages shows the company is hiring for a handful of roles like embedded software engineer and senior hardware engineer. Back in March, it also announced a next-generation platform, Oversight. The control system “enhances worker safety and machine security with built-in encryption, safety-certified communications, and advanced software features with seamless connectivity through web and mobile applications,” the company said in a statement.

The book on LaMichael James' career at Oregon is nearly closed. The final chapter has yet been written of course, though everything prelude is as remarkable as anything ever witnessed from the running back position in school history.
In only three years of action, James has redefined the standard for excellence at the position and set the bar to Everest-esque heights that may not be summited for quite sometime.
On Friday night, in a game that would see Oregon capture their third consecutive conference championship along with a third straight BCS bowl game appearance, James rushed for 219 yards on 25 carries, scoring three times and putting an emphatic dry-erase exclamation point on a truly transcendent tenure in Eugene.
"He's this university," said Oregon head coach Chip Kelly of James after the game. "I think our president (Richard Lariviere) said it once, and I truly believe this, this university is about unique excellence. That's what this young man is about. He's about unique excellence."
Unique excellence has become commonplace for James since assuming the reigns as the Ducks' starting running back in 2009 after the suspension of LeGarrette Blount following the Boise State game. James' 200-plus yard effort on the ground against the Bruins was his fourth such game this season, the most of any running back in college football this year.
The stat is even more impressive considering James missed two games in the middle of the season due to an elbow injury suffered against California.
"He's special," said Kelly.
And really, that's the only way to describe the player who was once so homesick that he had his bags packed, ready to head home to Texarkana, Texas during his redshirt year.
James stayed, and by the time the scoreboard clock read 0:00 and confetti rained down on him and his celebrating teammates as they raised the inaugural Pac-12 Championship trophy, James had laid claim to some of the most impressive records in conference history.
James not only passed former USC running back Marcus Allen for third on the Pac-12's career rushing list (4,923 yards) and tied USC's LenDale White for second in conference history for career rushing touchdowns (52), but he became the first player in the illustrious history of the conference to rush for more than 1,500 yards three or more times in a career.
"It means a lot," remarked James of his records. "Reach for the sky. I think it really starts in practice. Coach Kelly does an amazing job of getting us going in practice, getting the best out of all of us."
What lies ahead for James and the Ducks is certain: A January 2 date in Pasadena. Yet, still to be decided however, is their opponent for that game. Wisconsin and Michigan State square off in Indianapolis Saturday evening for the right to face the Ducks in the 98th edition of the Tournament of Roses. While the opponent likely doesn't matter much for Kelly, James and the Ducks, reaching the game is a watershed moment for any college football program.
"To play in the ‘Granddaddy Of Them All', if you don't have a chance to play -- obviously because of our two losses -- in the national championship, there's no other game you'd rather play in than the Rose Bowl.
"It's the pinnacle."
And for James, it's the chance to author a storybook ending to an utterly magical career.

As technology advances we're seeing all sorts of changes in the design of smartphones. Certain smartphone OEMs are trying to innovate, and some of those innovations turn into standards as time passes by. Samsung and LG are great examples actually. Back when Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note device everyone thought it's too big and that it will never rise to the occasion, and look at the 'Galaxy Note' line today. LG's rear-facing physical buttons are another great example, LG tried it out and it seems like it worked, another great idea that turned into a great product. There are many such examples, but we're here to focus on displays actually, read on.
The Galaxy S6 Edge device is innovative, nobody can deny that, but both Samsung and LG have patented quite a few interesting new patents lately. Samsung, in specific, has registered for a number of foldable display patents, and rumors say we might expect to see a first device sporting such a display in January. Now, a new report from Business Korea says that both of these Korea-based tech giants are closing in on foldable smartphone releases. Samsung allegedly already has a working prototype, and is putting final touches on its design and functionality.
As far as LG goes, the report claims that the company managed to manufacture their first foldable display. LG still doesn't have a working prototype of a smartphone, but is looking into it, at least according to the info provided by the source. LG is actually trying to decide what to do with this new display they have, and a logical step is producing some sort of an innovative smartphone. On the other hand, LG might supply those displays to Apple and Google, it's up to the company. I don't now if you're aware of this rumor, but Apple is reportedly planning to develop a foldable iPhone for 2018, and LG's display might be just the right thing for the company. Either way, we can expect much more foldable display news in the coming months, especially if Samsung really introduces their first foldable smartphone as soon as January, stay tuned.

Environmental law is normally aimed at regulating the activities of private as well as public actors so to avoid or reduce damages to the environment. This is often done by forbidding or at least discouraging some conducts, seen as harmful. A strict legal approach is normally oriented to the value of certainty, with regard to such aspects as the interpretation and enforcement of norms, the relationships between actors, their expectations towards the legal system. The legalistic way of thinking is non probabilistic, non causal and non scientific (when judged by the standard of post-positivist empirical science). Another feature of a legalistic approach is often that norms are seen as specifications of general principles, and that they must be applied irrespective of their actual consequences. A third feature of a traditional view of environmental law is that such regulation is typically the outcome of top-down decisions. A fourth feature is that coercion, justified by the pursuit of the public interest as defined by general principles, will be the main policy instrument. It is easy to see that such features - that I have intentionally depicted in a stylized and extreme form - are strongly at odds with what is required by contemporary policy analysis, as well as by the concept of governance. Applied policy analysis asks decision-makers to evaluate ex ante, in itinere and ex post the policies adopted, with regard to both their ability to reach intended results, and their costs, other benefits, side effects (on the public budget, on the addressees whose activities are directly regulated, on groups which are indirectly affected and the society at large). In this perspective, therefore, the goals of a given policy will not be seen in isolation, as absolute imperatives, but will be systematically referred to, and weighted against, other publicly relevant goals and interests. Sustainability, then, does not relate only to environmental aspects, but also to the impact of public action on other sub-systems, such as the economy, public administration, cultural reproduction, political relationships at the various levels of government. Regulation in general, and environmental regulation especially, should itself be economically, administratively, culturally and politically sustainable. This does not mean that any time that a given economic, social or political actor disagrees with a given environmental measure this policy must be stopped or distorted so to accommodate in any case conflicting interests. Environmental regulation normally inflicts concentrated costs on specific addressees. These possess financial and influence resources that they can mobilize, and have as well a strong incentive to organize themselves in defense of the status quo. Always asking for the complete satisfaction of such interests in practice would mean that incisive policies would never be adopted or implemented. However, given that environmental regulation is necessary, and that normally it must impose some costs, a sound application of policy analysis compels to look for the less costly regulatory option, which at the same time produces the desired outcome.The chapter sketches the actual working of environmental policies in the Italian context, also with regard to a specific example (the precautionary principle). Then it is shown how regulatory impact assessment (RIA) can be a fruitful tool to improve environmental policies.

Get to know Kyra
I grew up in a household of doctors and planned on becoming a doctor myself. My undergraduate studies prepared me to go to medical school, but before applying, I began working in a family practice clinic as a care manager for patients with diabetes. I saw firsthand the social determinants of health and the complexity of issues in our healthcare system. This experience changed the course of my life and I began to focus on health policy as a way to improve the health of many, rather than clinical work with the individual patient.
I worked as a research assistant for the Colorado School of Public Health, for a policy nonprofit called the Integrative Health Policy Consortium, and last year, worked with then Representative, now Senator Pettersen, as her legislative aide on the opioid crisis, public health in Colorado, and education policies. This summer I worked on the 5A/5B campaign, which secured funding for Jeffco schools, and the Lakewood 2D campaign, which created funding for our parks, police and community needs. I’ve also spent the last nine years volunteering with women who are recovering from addiction and trauma issues.
Although this is a somewhat non-linear path to running for office, I’m running because I deeply care about Lakewood and improving the health of our community. That means making sustainability a priority so that our kids get to experience the same Lakewood that we do. It means investing in bike and alternative transportation infrastructure so we can enjoy the Colorado way of life with our families. It means keeping Lakewood inclusive and affordable for our teachers, firefighters and families. It means investing in our police department’s needs so we continue to be a safe community. And it means actively participating in our democracy because all of our voices need to be heard at the decision making table.
I wasn’t born in Lakewood, I chose Lakewood as my home. I chose to make roots and start a family here, and I’ll work tirelessly to ensure our city and our communities are as happy and healthy as possible.

I need YOUR vote to win, and keep Lakewood moving forward!
Support our Kids and Schools
In 2018, I was a co-director of outreach for the 5A/5B ballot initiative and have continued to fight for our schools to make sure every Lakewood kid gets the opportunity for a good education and a safe school experience. I’ll work to keep our neighborhood schools like Stober Elementary open, ensure Lakewood kids can go to Outdoor Lab, and implement our sustainability plan to ensure our youth have access to clean air and water for generations to come.
Expand and Maintain Lakewood's Parks and Open Space
In 2018, I worked to pass a ballot initiative that invests millions into the purchasing of land for park creation. Lakewood has over 100 parks. In fact, over 25% of our City is dedicated parkland. This is one of the reasons I moved to and love Lakewood. I will fight to protect every inch, and work to continue investing in great open space and park opportunities.
Working for a Sustainable Future
I am proud Lakewood is still committed to the Paris Treaty. With smart investment and careful planning and leveraging grant dollars, we can take Lakewood from a “Bronze” bikeable city to “Silver.” This is great for business, health, environment, and traffic reduction. I will support local action on sustainability.
Affordable Housing for Real People
The rents and home prices in Lakewood are soaring, and it is becoming more and more difficult for the people who live and work in Lakewood to make ends meet. I want to live in a community where teachers, firefighters, nurses, young professionals, working families and seniors can afford to live. That’s why I stand for housing that is affordable for regular people.
Demand High Quality Development
I’m proud of the redevelopment of areas like the West Colfax neighborhood and I’ll fight to make sure we’re balancing redevelopment of areas that need it, while keeping the rural feel of Lakewood in our established neighborhoods. Lakewood is growing, and we need a more sensible approach that demands responsible and sustainable efforts from developers, keeps our economy strong, protects our neighborhood charm, and enhances our community. I know what good quality, sustainable development looks like and how to demand it.
Support Public Safety
Public safety is a matter of vital importance. I’ll make sure the Lakewood Police Department has the resources they need to keep Lakewood safe. Lakewood PD is known nationwide as a top-notch police force. I'm proud of that and want to keep it that way. I support adding new agents to the force, specializing in homeless issues so that we can keep our patrol on the streets. I support equipping our force with the technology they need, like smart phones and mobile digital computers.
Support Local Economy
Having worked for a small, local business, I know how important they are for our community and our country. I’ll work to bring more businesses like Mint & Serif into our neighborhoods and make sure we’re supporting our community associations.

Nissan GT-R with Custom Meisterchaft GT Exhaust [Video]
This exhaust system seems to amplify and improve the engine note, similarly to what it did to this M5. The V6 under the hood of the GT-R really needs to be allowed to breathe (in and) out properly, for the full effect of the engine to be felt. Even a crazy PS3 on wheels like the GT-R is toned down in its standard form, and you should must get it fitted with a proper exhaust, otherwise you’re missing out.
Turn up your speakers and enjoy the excellent sound of the V6, as well as some acceleration and drifting action thrown in. Why can’t Ferrari make a V6 turbo that sounds this good? Theirs sounds like a 2.0-liter motor.

Johnson column: Fewer cows mean higher prices
By Brad Johnson
For the Salisbury Post
SALISBURY — As you browse the grocery store aisles, especially perusing the meat counter, you may come to the conclusion that prices have increased.
There’s a simple explanation involving Mother Nature and the Southwestern United States. Over the past year or so, the Southwestern United States, Texas, especially, has experienced one of the most severe droughts on record. So, how does that affect the price of meat in North Carolina? The drought has significantly impacted the amount of grazing land for cattle and sheep. If producers can’t feed them, they’re selling them.
I recently read an article stating that 30 percent of the beef cattle in Texas are now gone, either sold to another state or added to the food chain in the past year. This has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of cattle, sheep and goats nationally.
Texas, by far, has the largest inventory of beef cattle, sheep and goats in the U.S. The national beef cattle herd has decreased by 2 percent from 2011 to 2012, as it has decreased from more than 92.5 million (according to USDA information) to less than 91 million. Texas leads the nation with a total beef cattle herd of 13.3 million in 2011, which has decreased to 11.9 million in 2012.
The drought has also affected Oklahoma, as that states’ beef cattle numbers have decreased from 5.1 million (in 2011) to 4.5 million (2012). The No. 2 state nationally for total numbers of beef cattle is Nebraska with 6.45 million head.
In addition, Texas leads the U.S. in numbers of sheep and meat goats, which have also decreased significantly (2 percent nationally for sheep and 4 percent nationally for goats). The total U.S. flock of sheep is estimated at 5.5 million, with Texas accounting for 850,000 in 2011. Texas’ flock has decreased to 650,000 in 2012. California is the No. 2 state nationally for sheep with 600,000 head in 2011, but has decreased to 570,000 head in 2012.
Of the national flock of 2.5 million goats, Texas accounted for 950,000 in 2011, but that number has decreased to 850,000 for 2012. If you’ve noticed that the price of cashmere has increased, the number of Angora goats in Texas has decreased from 110,000 in 2011 to 85,000 in 2012 (the national flock is only 172,000).
Using the economics theory of supply and demand, as supply decreases and demand stays the same or increases, the price increases accordingly to help drive producers to increase the supply. Unfortunately, the gestation period of cattle is 285 days, plus it takes roughly 15-18 months for the resulting calf to reach appropriate size (1,300 pounds) for harvest. In other words, it takes a couple years for the calf conceived this winter to reach the grocery store as retail cuts of beef, and ultimately, your dinner table. Consequently, it takes several years to increase the national herd size to meet the demand. In the meantime, producers are receiving record prices for cattle and sheep, which is increasing the cost of production throughout the food supply chain.
For example, according to information from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Division of Marketing, 500-600 pound feeder steers are currently selling for $135.44 per hundredweight, while last year at this time, they were selling for $111.42 per hundredweight (which was a record price at the time). Lambs (prime and choice, 110 pounds) sold for $215 at the State Graded Meat Goat and Sheep Sale at Monroe a few days ago, while Selection 1 goat kids (60-80 pounds) sold for $122.50-$175. Many producers will tell you that they’ve never seen sale prices for their stock this high.
Unfortunately, the inputs of feed, fertilizer and fuel are also extremely high, in many cases minimizing the gains from the record sale prices.

Material: 55% Polyester, 40% Rayon, 5% Spandex. These are the same premium material as our previous "loose fit perfect tees" but with a different fit. Fit: These are not the same style of "loose fit perfect tees" we had previously as these are cut straight across at the bottom and more fitted. We suggest sizing up one size. Since these are more fitted, they may work better for cardigans, tucking etc. As a size 6 and typically a S/M, I would prefer a medium.

A warning has been issued to fans about sites still advertising tickets.
Tickets for Hugh Jackman's Dublin dates on May 30 & 31st are officially sold out, after going on sale at 9am this morning.
The Academy Award-nominated actor will come to Dublin as part of his first ever world tour The Man. The Music. The Show. He announced he would play a date on May 30th with a second date added this morning in advance of expected demand.
Aiken Promotions have issued a warning to fans about sites that continue to sell tickets now that both dates have sold out. They reported that there are tickets listed on Viagogo and warn people not to purchase them “as firstly it’s wrong and secondly there is no proof that these tickets actually exist.”
The concert will see Jackman perform songs from his Broadway shows and films including The Greatest Showman, Les Miserables accompanied by a live orchestra.

Myopia is one of the first causes of visual impairment worldwide and high myopia , also called pathologic myopia is associated with retinal complications. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of myopia and its complications in a multicentric cohort of individuals.
Data files from individuals with a clinical setting between January 2012 and November 2013 in four different centers were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data included age and sex. Refractive error, best corrected visual acuity on both eyes and any history of retinal disease was also reported. Four different groups of individuals with Mild Myopia (-0.25 to -2.75D), Moderate Myopia (-3 to -5.75 D) and High Myopia (-6 to -7.75D and less than -8D) were created. For Mild and Moderate Myopias, patients were excluded in case of anisometropia higher than 1D. Furthermore, monophthalm patients or those with incomplete demographic data were excluded from the analysis. Prevalences of myopia related to the complete cohort and prevalence of retinal detachment (RD) and of peripheral laser photocoagulation were analyzed in the different groups.
Data files from 103 962 individuals were included in the analysis. From this cohort, data files from 37914 myopic patients (58.5% of women), mean age 33.8 years (SD=13) were analyzed. Among them, 26532 individuals had a Mild Myopia (28.35%) with a mean age of 32.2 years. The prevalence of RD and of photocoagulation was of 0.056% and 0.23% respectively. 7995 individuals had a Moderate Myopia (8.54%) with a mean age 32.5 years. The prevalence of RD and of photocoagulation was of 0.06% and 0.26% respectively. 1 881 individuals had a High Myopia between -6 and -7.75D (2.01%) with a mean age of 33.8 years. The prevalence of RD and of photocoagulation was of 0.08% and 0.13% respectively. 1509 individuals had a High Myopia Higher than -7.75 D (1.61%) with a mean age of 36.8. The prevalence of RD and of photocoagulation was of 0.13% and 0.26% respectively. High Myopia represented 3.62% of this cohort.
This large cohort provides new insights on the prevalence of myopia and on its complications in the young European population. The prevalence of RD was doubled between mild myopia and the group with myopia less than -8 D. Prospective analyses should be performed to confirm these data.

For the third time in as many years, Culver City Youth Lacrosse players traveled east for camp. Having visited Notre Dame in 2015 and Denver last summer, this year 22 players from the Culver City Youth Lacrosse program traveled to Maryland to participate in a four-day lacrosse camp at Johns Hopkins University.
Players entering grades 6-9 made the trek from Culver City to Baltimore to attend one of the nation’s top summer lacrosse camps. In addition to having the opportunity to spend four days at this prestigious university, players also were able to visit Towson University and Loyola-Maryland. Players were able to learn about what it takes both academically and athletically to participate in sports at these highly competitive universities.
Players also had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour the Cordish Lacrosse center on the campus of Johns Hopkins. A special thank you for Blue Jays coach Dave Pietramala, coach Bill Dwan, coach Bobby Benson and all the Hopkins players who coached our players during the four-day camp.
