(KANSAS CITY, KS, 6/17/2020) – The Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the Kansas Republican Party to condemn and rebuke the Wild West Republican Women’s Club for its January 9 Islamophobic Facebook post attacking American Muslim candidates and for its president Laura Tawater embracing and defending anti-Muslim hate group leader John Bennett, as a keynote speaker at the Dodge City Republican Expo.
[Note: John Bennett, who has called for the removal of American mosques and calls Islam a “cancer,” is the Vice President of Understanding the Threat (UTT) whose founder and President John Guandolo on Sunday called for the “execution” of anti-racist protest leaders. Guandolo said: “[W]e should round up the leaders and execute them for trying to revolt and overthrow the government.”]
On January 9, the Wild West Republican Women’s Club posted on Facebook an Isamophobic message attacking American Muslim candidates running for office because of their Islamic faith and promoting an anti-Muslim conspiracy theories alleging that these Muslim candidates “know the drill- infiltrate American government and institute sharia law” adding “It’s all part of the Islamic faith and practice of jihad. Yet, we keep importing these people 🤦♀”
The post links to a “Deplorable Kel” article that tracks and disparages Muslim candidates running in 2020 U.S. elections.
This week Tawater dismissed concerns about Bennett’s record and said she looks forward to hearing Bennet discuss the “current riots and its connection to the communist and Islamic movement and their strategic plan to subvert America.”

On Facebook, the Wild West Republican Women’s Club defended their choice to host Bennett, with a seperate post stating “you all will be blessed to listen to his message and the TRUTH he will share about the… Islamic threat in America…”
In a statement CAIR-Kansas Board Chair Moussa Elbayoumy said:
“CAIR Kansas is calling on the Kansas Republican Party to condemn and reject the Wild West Republican Women’s Club’s Facebook post attacking American Muslim candidates simply for their Islamic faith and the club’s recent embrace and defense of anti-Muslim hate group leader John Bennett.
“It is shameful that the organizers of the Dodge City Republican Expo have chosen to blatantly disregard Bennett’s long-standing record of anti-Muslim bigotry by retaining him as keynote speaker.
“Not only is the Wild West Republican Women’s club amplifying Bennett’s hateful anti-Muslim views and spreading Islamophobic conspiracy theories online – they are damaging the Kansas Republican Party’s ability to claim it is a big tent party open to all regardless of faith.”
On Monday, the national office of CAIR and CAIR Kansas called on the Kansas Republican Party and the United Wireless Arena in Dodge City, Kan., to drop anti-Muslim hate group leader John Bennett as a keynote speaker at the Dodge City Republican Expo.

I modified this recipe slightly from Baking Illustrated’s Buttermilk Biscuits. They turned out a bit crumbly because of the cornmeal I think, but delish none-the less!! Perfect with a farmer’s market salt & peppered fried egg and smokey bacon. A typical Saturday morning with a homemade cinnamon cappuccino, 2 pups at our feet and ‘Top Chef’ on Hulu…
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1 cup yogurt + 2 tbl. milk
Grind a bit of flour (or pull out your regular or whole wheat flour). Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a food processor with blade attachment or bowl. Whisk or process with six 1 second pulses.
Drop butter evenly over dry mixture, process with twelve 1-second pulses.
Pour yogurt/milk into mixture and process until dough gathers into moist clumps, about eight 1-second pulses. (Add more milk if needed)
Transfer to lightly floured cutting board and form into a quick ball. Don’t overmix. Cut into 4 pieces and then divide those into 3 pieces. Form into balls and place on baking sheet…
Bake about 10-12 minutes or until tops are browned…
|Yes, we taste tested the one on the bottom right ; )|
Meanwhile, cook your bacon in the oven (omit for veg), fry up an egg…
Top of the biscuit to ya!

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- For Beth Allspach and Amy Hartman, the skywalks in downtown Grand Rapids are their personal health club.
Nearly every day, they are among dozens of downtown workers who use the skywalks that stretch nine-tenths of a mile through the hotels and office buildings between DeVos Place Convention Center and Van Andel Arena.
"We do it in the winter to stay out of the snow and we do it in the summer when it's too hot," Allspach says.
Built mainly to accommodate convention guests, the skywalks offer a variety of tableaus as they carry visitors carpeted atriums over busy streets, cavernous tunnels with brick pavers, long unadorned hallways and carpeted hotel lobbies that are sometimes hosting cocktail parties, business receptions or convention registration areas.
In the evenings, sports fans and concert goers use them to find covered parking away from the busy parking ramps and lots near the Van Andel Arena. During ArtPrize, the skywalks become giant art galleries linking the most popular venues.
We recently took a walk along the skywalk from Van Andel Arena to DeVos Place. Watch the sped-up version of that trip:
The downtown area also has a network of tunnels and passageways below Vandenberg Plaza, the area that was redeveloped in the urban renewal movement of 1960s.
First built in the 1980s to link the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel to a parking ramp, the skywalks were developed in a piecemeal fashion over the years to include the Van Andel Arena and most recently, DeVos Place.
The last skywalks, which link the JW Marriott Hotel to parking ramps and the main skywalk, nearly faltered before they were built.
In 2005, the city's Planning Commission rejected the skywalks on a 4-3 vote after some planners argued they robbed the city of a vibrant street life. City commissioners overruled the planners and voted to let the skywalks continue.
Ever since, the skywalks have generated mixed feelings.
"In a perfect world, as an urban design aficionado, I would rather have people on the street and give them the opportunity to engage with storefronts on the street," says Sam Cummings, managing principal of CWD Real Estate Investment.
CWD owns a couple of downtown office buildings, including the PNC Bank building, that are linked to the main skywalk.
"I'm also a pragmatist," Cummings said. "If using the skywalks broadens the appeal of our city, bring it."
Explore the various entry points and destinations along the skywalk's twisting and turning 0.9 miles:
Cummings said the cost of installing skywalks has grown prohibitive and can mess with a historic building's design. That's why they did not link The Rowe apartment project to DeVos Place even though the convention center was built to accommodate a skywalk to the building.
Unlike other cities, like Minneapolis and its extensive skywalk system, Grand Rapids' has not resulted in much retail activity, Cummings said.
In planning for a hotel at 50 Monroe NW, Cummings said building a skywalk that would connect to the parking ramp across the street and the existing skywalk system was not seriously discussed.
"It would be tough to justify the expense," he said. "It would be an expensive proposition."
Rick Winn, president of Amway Hotel Corp., says the skywalks give them a big advantage when recruiting groups that consider holding winter conventions in Grand Rapids.
"It's very convenient for the attendees," says Winn, who oversees operations at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, the JW Marriott Hotel and the Courtyard by Marriott. All three are linked to the skywalk and to parking ramps operated by the Amway Hotel Corp.
Winn notes that most of their guests are willing to venture outside of the skywalks when it comes to finding a restaurant or bar while in town.
"I think as we get larger as a city and the more robust, it's going to be a less important feature," he said.

And the revolving door on the production of Oz, The Great and Powerful keeps on spinning. Just two weeks ago, it was reported that Johnny Depp was in talks to star in the film as the titular Oz following Robert Downey Jr.’s exit from the project a few months back. Well, now it looks like Depp ultimately passed on the film late last night and producers are now in talks with James Franco to tackle the role of the Wizard.
Sam Raimi (the first three Spider-Man films) is set to direct the prequel/re-imaging of The Wizard of Oz which would tell the story of how the Wizard came to end up in Oz and become the all-powerful Wizard. Heat Vision reports that the film is a top priority for Disney and producer Joe Roth hopes to start shooting during the second half of this year. Franco seems a bit of an odd choice, but he usually knocks every role he takes on out of the park. If he ends up joining the film, it’ll be interesting to see his take on the character.

Research from the Schnöbrunn laboratory focuses on the elucidation of the structure-activity relationship of medicinally important proteins. We use protein crystallography combined with methods in medicinal chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology to explore proteins at the atomic level. Our aim is to identify "weak sites" in those proteins that can be targeted by new inhibitors with potential as future drugs.
The flowchart details the diversity of methods and techniques being applied in our laboratory for the discovery of novel inhibitors.
Once we have identified a prospective drug target, the first step is the cloning or chemical synthesis of the gene, followed by overexpression of the gene product in suitable host cells and purification of the target protein in the quantities required for the drug discovery enterprise. We generally follow two routes towards the discovery of novel inhibitors. Both these approaches become interconnected if the target protein can be crystallized.
The empirical approach involves the development of an assay suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) of hundreds of thousands of small organic compounds for inhibitory activity. Thus discovered inhibitors (hits) will be scrutinized by structure-activity relationship (SAR) and kinetic studies until the most potent inhibitors with drug-like properties (leads) have been identified.
The second route is the rational design of inhibitors based on the 3D atomic structure of the target protein. First, crystallization conditions suitable for reproducible growth of X-ray quality crystals need to be established and the atomic structure of the target protein will be solved by crystallographic methods, bound with ligands such as substrates, known inhibitors or newly discovered HTS hits and leads. With this information in hand, we perform several computational studies (in silico design), such as molecular docking, to identify chemical scaffolds that satisfy the criteria for high inhibitory potential.
During the entire inhibitor discovery process we closely collaborate with researchers of various disciplines, from synthetic organic chemistry to cell biology, to devise strategies for the optimization of the best inhibitors with respect to drug-like properties. Our expertise enables us to not only thoroughly characterize the molecular mode of action of inhibitors on proteins; we also perform mechanistic studies, for example to trap reaction intermediate states of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Furthermore, we investigate the resistance of target proteins to known inhibitors. These studies complement the rational design approach, at the same time providing valuable information about the relationship of the proteins structure and function.

‘Sydney is a collision of all these different moments of history and architecture and culture.’
Gems in this
Wandering around Sydney, it’s hard not to come across a venue designed by innovative architect Kelvin Ho — from hip stores like Incu, Saturdays NYC, Camilla and Marc, and Bassike; to fun and elegant restaurants including Bert’s, The Paddington, and Coogee Pavilion. As a native Sydneysider with numerous projects across the city, Kelvin is an expert in the best of what Sydney has to offer.
Kelvin’s spatial communication agency Akin Atelier are known for their ability to create warm, welcoming and serene spaces, largely inspired by Kelvin’s childhood spent wandering in nature and skateboarding through the city. Despite his frequent travels, the architect finds that the diversity, history and varied subcultures of the seaside city continue to spark his creativity. In this Sydney Travel Playbook, Kelvin shares his local recs for where to enjoy nature, grab a delicious meal with the family, and step back in Australian art history.
On growing up in nature
I was born in Beecroft, Sydney. It’s basically the suburbs. It was an amazing place to grow up — there were all these bush walks and the Forestry Commission. I learnt about timber and different types of ecosystems. Nature was such a powerful part of growing up, and it’s something I look forward to every day now — it’s such a key part of my existence. Sydney has been such an inspiration for my creativity, because Sydney is so diverse — it's a collision of all these different moments of history and architecture and culture, and I think all of those springboards have really been such an important catalyst for my creative career.
On the juxtaposition of nature and city life
There was a juxtaposition of growing up in the burbs with nature, but then being transplanted into a city. They are two powerful, opposing moments, and I found inspiration in both sides. My dad was a mechanical engineer. Being dragged around building sites opened me up to another side of buildings: understanding that they are important organisms that humans interact with, either on a utilitarian level or something that could be quite powerful and life-changing.
‘Good architecture can change your perspective and the way that you think.’
On appreciating the sound of architecture as a skateboarder
I grew up as a skateboarder, and it was a huge part of my creative process. When you're skating, there's an appreciation of materials — the tactility and density are going to affect your speed. You're constantly adjusting to the properties of material. One of my favorites is the sound of the architecture, because you're using your wheels as a way of listening to the joints in tiles; the way it slides across timber or marble is a signal of how fast you're going. Skateboarding is such an incredible subculture, and the connection to an international community was really powerful. As a teenager, I realized that architecture can bond and create communities. Looking at a city through a skateboarder’s eyes is something I still do.
On travel allowing you to surprise yourself
Travel is a way of changing my self-perception. My natural position is generally pretty reserved and more introverted. Being in New York for work, I ended up at Balthazar and started a conversation with a totally random couple next to me. I was like, ‘Whoa, I didn't think I would feel confident enough to do that.’ But in New York, that's just normal, right? What I love about travel is this amazing ability to surprise yourself, because you're doing something that you never thought you'd find yourself doing under normal circumstances.
On the importance of supporting subcultures
A city is a massive cultivator for subcultures, which often drive trends or ideas because they're so pure. Skateboarding is one of the great outcomes of Sydney being a relatively modern city. You don't have skateboarders in Rome; you have skateboarders in new cities that have smooth surfaces. So the architecture cultivates a skateboarding community. And the skateboarding community has created a platform for incredible creatives, like Virgil Abloh, Jonah Hill, Pharrell Williams. So architecture and cities have a huge part to play in making sure that those subcultures continue to thrive.
On a window or aisle seat
Window. Because I'm six foot seven, the headrests are not tall enough, so I get a really sore neck leaning back. I need the side of the plane to sleep on.
On your go-bag of essentials
The weird thing is that everywhere I go, I have the exact same bag packed — no matter if I'm going to work or going away. I've got all my cables; converters; a battery pack; pencils and pens of all different shades and tones and thicknesses; a ruler; papers. It's so that at any given time, I know that I've got a whole array of things in my kit.
On your favorite beach in Sydney
We live in Tamarama, across from the beach. It's like we're on holidays all the time. I can just walk around in boardshorts and no one blinks an eye. Definitely the top of my list is probably MacKenzies Bay, across the road. It feels like a little sanctuary. To have a beach in Sydney which has amazing surf, a beautiful landscape, and where I can take a dog, is just my idea of heaven.
‘The Brett Whiteley studio in Surry Hills feels like you are stepping back in time to the grungy, artist side of Surry Hills. It feels like such a raw and authentic moment of Australian art history.’
On the best place for a family meal
We did a project at the Royal Hotel in Sydney called Totti’s. It's a casual, Italian, family restaurant. I love going there. I finished work late one night and sat in the front bar, bumped into some mates, and had this beautiful meal. I was like, ‘This is like my perfect late dinner.’ It has such a colourful history as well, and it's so nice that it's become a place that everyone can go to. It's got such a wide appeal.
On where to find nature in the city
Centennial Park is an amazing thing to have on our doorstep in Sydney: to have that amount of real estate; microclimates and ecosystems; flora and fauna; but also places for exercise and events. There's so many nice communities there. I do the walk around the far perimeter with the dogs. And there's a section on the Randwick Racecourse side where there's a few dams and sandy knolls — it feels so foreign. I love that because it feels really wild.
On a special hidden gem
My parents got married in a neighbourhood called Kirribilli; my sister and I did as well. It's the most enchanted little hidden pocket of beautiful grounds. Brett Whiteley was a huge part of my inspiration as a student, because I loved his drawings and the way he represented architecture. So we got married at Wendy Whiteley’s Garden a few years ago. It just feels so magical. For me that's a really special spot.
On stepping back in art history
The Brett Whiteley studio in Surry Hills feels like you are stepping back in time to the grungy, artist side of Surry Hills. There's so much interesting history in that space — it feels like such a raw and authentic moment of Australian art history.
On Sydney in one word
There's so much enrichment and stimulation, and so much here that is so satisfying. The comfort and sense of homeliness most resonates with me. Sydney is such a good embodiment of all these different aesthetics and cultures, which are so hard to replicate in another city: the diversity and culture, food, architecture, landscape, climate.

Lot 103 - 1935 Moto-Guzzi 500S
|Estimate||£12,000 - £16,000|
Moto Guzzi was founded by Carlo Guzzi and Giorgio Parodi. A third man and founding partner, Giovanni Ravelli, was killed in a plane crash only days after WWI. The three met and discussed plans to build a new motorcycle company while serving in the newly formed Italian Air Force. The flying eagle in the company’s logo is in memory of Ravelli. The greatest of all Moto Guzzi models are based on only two engines. A 500cc four-stroke engine and a 90º transverse V-twin. The single was in production since the initial prototype in 1920 and stayed in production until 1976 in various forms. Stanley Woods won the 1935 Senior TT on a Guzzi 500, by just four seconds, scoring the first foreign victory since the 1911 race.
Fully restored in 2012, it was designed primarily for goods transport although it could easily be re-configured if required. Presented in striking burgundy and chrome and complete with Italian documents, it is now on the button and ready to use.
Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each Lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. All registration numbers, engine and chassis details are sourced from registration documents provided to Historics by the client or representative or HPI checks and buyers are to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of these details. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.

a city in western new york that used to be fairly decent. now it's mostly made up of ghettos, and closed down or extremely old rotting buildings. in the really bad ghettos you'll see VERY interesting people. the hsbc arena (where a lot of the huge local concerts/sports games here take place) is mostly surrounded by TONS of huge hideous factories (like the "ho oats" factory) that look as if they've been closed for 50 years(and they probably have been). but the hsbc arena itself is really nice. in buffalo you're likely to see some really nice places smack dab in the middle of the worst shithole. western new york is also the only fucking place in the country where you can get sunburnt AND frostbitten within a 3-day period. people used to be able to get jobs no matter what, but now most people are forced to work in shitty chemical factories (or some sort of factory that's actually OPEN) while still shitloads of people are being laid off every day. niagara falls
is obviously really close to buffalo, and it isn't much better, but in the outskirts there's a lot less ghettos.

After Selanne snapped his personal 19-game goal-less drought with a second-period goal, Penner answered an unexpected late tie with the last-place
"Maybe we weren't as mentally sharp as in days past," Penner said after the Ducks (23-7-5) had their first three-day break between games since Oct. 7-9. "Not an excuse, but maybe that's why. We were able to find a way."
The Ducks denied they were also looking ahead to Tuesday, when they start a four-game trip at Detroit. The

Selanne, 43, said all the winning has eased the burden of his personal slump, which dated to Oct. 20.
Selanne said he was texting his retired Ducks line mate, high-scoring Paul Kariya, on Saturday night when some advice was given.
"Go to the net, good things happen," Kariya texted.
"He knows," said Selanne. "Maybe I haven't done that enough. When you're used to scoring those pretty goals, sometimes you don't go to those ugly areas. You have to remind yourself where the goals are, that blue paint."
The Ducks took a 2-1 lead when Selanne went toward the net and smacked in a back-handed pass from center
Perreault had missed the last four games with a lower-body injury.
"Very good to see," Perreault said of Selanne scoring again.
Selanne had taken 31 shots without a goal before breaking through for his fourth goal of the season and 679th of his career.
He said he was looking forward to texting Kariya back Sunday, "You were right. Again."

"It wasn't the best game we played, but our character and our will took over," said Corey Perry, whose seven-game streak of goals was stopped. "Those are the games you have to push through."
Selanne's goal came on the heels of the frustrated Ducks failing to capitalize on a five-minute penalty and game misconduct assessed on Oilers defenseman
A suspension of Potter is possible.
Bonino, who scored the Ducks' first goal, held his lower back in pain, and briefly left the ice before returning to play.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A bill that would increase the number of charter schools allowed in West Virginia has been sent to the House floor.
The House Education Committee approved its version of the bill on a 16-7 vote Thursday. The amended bill would increase the number of charter schools allowed every three years from three to 10.
The bill also would expand the program to allow for online-only charter schools, among other things.
The committee also advanced a separate bill by voice vote to allow school vouchers called education saving accounts. That bill now goes to the House finance committee. It would give parents several options, including using public funding to send their children to private schools.


Courage under fire: Williams police honored for quick action
In front of a packed council chamber full of community members, family and friends, four Williams Police Department officers were honored for their bravery while responding to a call for an armed suicidal subject in November 2017.
Police Chief Herman Nixon presented Officer Robert Anderson and Detective Jerry Wilson with Medals of Valor, and Sergeant Tad Wygal and Sergeant John Romero with meritorious awards for their outstanding service on the call.
Wygal and Wilson were in a vehicle outside the suspect’s apartment when they came under fire from a shooter on the second story of the building. The suspect fired 20 rounds from a high powered rifle, striking the officers’ vehicle 14 times.
“These officers didn’t run,” Nixon said. “That’s what I expect from them and that’s what the citizens expect from them.”
Around 9 a.m. Nov. 28, Williams Police Department received calls of a man, later identified as Jowell Gutierrez, driving in the forest near Williams threatening suicide.
Williams Police and Coconino County Sheriff’s deputies were given a description of the man and the vehicle.
After a brief search, the vehicle was located parked outside a residence near First Street in Williams.
According to Williams Police Chief Herman Nixon, officers were unsure whether Gutierrez was inside the residence.
Officers began evacuating the nearby residences and businesses, including the post office, Allstate and several other buildings.
Officers set up a perimeter and attempted to reach Gutierrez via phone, however, the suspect began shooting at officers from the upstairs room in the residence.
Within minutes of the shooting, Wygal contacted Gutierrez on the phone and talked him into coming out. He surrendered without incident.
“These guys stood their ground and went in and took care of the issue,” Nixon said. “Because of your actions, no one was hit by gunfire. These officers worked as a team performing their job at great risk to personal safety in order to protect our community and bring the situation under control.”
Gutierrez was taken into custody and transported to Coconino County Jail, where he currently resides, and is charged with two counts of attempted homicide on law enforcement, two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of criminal damage.

A new lingerie set!
Like many bra-makers, I make sets with two pairs of panties to one bra. And I like to make different ones using the same materials.
This set is not very original. I made this bra pattern for a strapless bra and last year. And I used it for my cream and black balconet after that. The panties are known favorites too: Melissa's Lacey thong pattern and my tried-and-tested half-thong derived from Pattern School's cheeky shorts (because the Pattern School site isn't active anymore, it can be difficult to get hold of full pages. When I made the link, some images didn't load and I can't do anything about that).
I am quite happy with the look of these though. When I was going through my stash of lingerie supplies, looking for possible combinations, I suddenly noticed something: The tan foam and the old-pink-ish lycra actually matched fairly well. I had bought bought supplies at different times and different places and stored them in different drawers. I had always assumed (and I seem to remember I once checked it) that they couldn't go together. They might not look very good together when used on their own but I always layer something over the foam anyway. In this case, there's black lace over the bra cups. The same lace is used for the sides of the lacey thong and the back of the cheeky shorts/thong. I've used the lycra on its own on the bridge of the bra and the lacey thong and layered black stretch mesh over it on the wings and the cheeky shorts/thong. It's hard to photograph, but that's why you see the odd pink glow at the edges of the black panties. It looks better in real life.
The construction is the same as before: Non-stretch net on the bridge and the small part of the wings up to the bit of boning at the side, stronger elastic along the bottom of the bra, non-stretch tape stabilizing the top edge of the bridge and the cup edges. And my special detail: a piece of boning in the lower cup. It's a fairly common feature in strapless bras for larger sizes (traditional ones, that is. There are, of course, a lot of foam innovations which can apparently replace this). Of course, I don't really need it for support but I like the shape it provides. I keeps the lower cup from curving down, which gives what looks like a very light cone shape. Nicely retro without getting costume-y. Maybe not for every day, but why I have different kinds of bras.
I really like this new set and I'm sure I'll enjoy wearing it but I think I'll try something new for the next bra.

A Macintosh Mini is an all-in-one computer form factor created by Apple Inc. It is the smallest desktop computer offered by Apple and was introduced in 2005 as a low cost alternative to other Mac computers. The size of the Mac Mini has been described as “book sized” and it is designed to be space-saving, portable and easy to use. Although it resembles the design of a PC, the Mac Mini has several features that differentiate it from regular PCs. So, is a Mac Mini basically a PC?
What Is the Mac mini?
The Mac mini is the perfect desktop computer for those looking for a compact, affordable device. Developed by Apple and engineered to work similarly to a standard PC, the Mac mini is lightweight and easy to use. It also comes with a powerful collection of free apps and tools that make it incredibly versatile and useful in almost any setting.
The Mac mini can be used for creative projects, like video and audio editing, or simply as an everyday computer. This user-friendly device will save you money on peripherals such as an external monitor or mouse since the Mac mini comes with its own high-quality ports and slots that let you easily connect your devices. The intuitive design makes it relatively simple to set up and configure too, meaning you can get up and running in no time at all.
Is a Mac Mini essentially a personal computer?
Yes, a Mac Mini can be considered a type of personal computer (PC). While the term “PC” often refers to computers running the Windows operating system, it can also be used more broadly to encompass any desktop or laptop computer designed for personal use. In this sense, the Mac Mini fits the definition of a PC as it is a compact desktop computer intended for individual users.
The Mac Mini shares many similarities with traditional PCs in terms of its basic functionality and purpose. It offers a complete computing experience with a central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage, input/output ports, and a user-friendly interface. Users can perform various tasks on a Mac Mini, such as web browsing, word processing, multimedia consumption, and more, much like they would on a typical PC.
However, it is important to note that the Mac Mini does have distinct characteristics that differentiate it from other PCs. It is developed and manufactured by Apple, utilizing their proprietary hardware components and macOS operating system. The integration of hardware and software in the Mac Mini is specifically optimized by Apple to deliver a seamless user experience, enhanced security features, and tight integration with other Apple devices and services. This sets the Mac Mini apart from conventional PCs running Windows or other operating systems and gives it a unique identity within the broader PC market.
Mac mini performs well
The latest Mac Mini lineup comes equipped with the powerful and efficient Apple M2 chip. The second version of Apple’s silicon technology has an 18% faster CPU compared to its predecessor, along with a 40% faster Neural Engine. In performance tests, the M2 chip has proven itself to be just as fast or even quicker than any Intel-powered Mac computer. The base model of the Mac mini features an 8-core CPU with a 10-core GPU and 256GB of SSD storage complemented by 8GB of unified memory. Together, these specs allow for power that surpasses the original M1 line up while still conserving energy and keeping noise levels low.
Overall, thanks to the daunting power of its Apple M2 chip, the new Mac mini is more than capable of executing even the most demanding tasks. Paired with plenty of RAM and lightning-fast storage, users can enjoy both a seamless experience and in many cases, improved performance over Intel-equipped machines. Whether used as a workstation or for creative purposes, you can rest assured that the Mac mini will deliver high-level productivity without sacrificing efficiency or performance.
Ports and Connectivity
The latest Mac mini packs a lot of connectivity and ports into its diminutive frame. Behold the mighty back of the device! The device is equipped with two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. It’s great to have the option of both USB-C and the traditional USB-A for owners with accessories that haven’t been upgraded to USB-C yet. Unfortunately, there isn’t an SD card slot included, so users will need to use an accessory for that feature.
For Wi-Fi and networking purposes, the Mac mini supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 ensuring timely connections with all compatible devices. All of Apple’s official keyboard and mouse accessories also connect via Bluetooth, making it easier than ever before to get connected without any wires in sight. With its wealth of ports and features combined with reliable wireless technology, the new Mac Mini makes a great addition to any desktop setup.
Battle of the Mac minis: M1 vs M2 – Unleashing the Power of Design!
The M1 and M2 Mac minis look completely indistinguishable from one another, which is a particular disappointment coming after the exciting new design of the latest MacBook Air. Apple has set an expectation for bold design changes with their latest devices, but apparently that doesn’t apply to the humble Mac mini. Despite the drab exterior, however, its sleek and retro-futuristic body still makes it attractive enough to fit in on any desk or shelf. In addition to its great aesthetic appeal, it is important to note that the lack of design changes don’t really matter; as this device is made purely to be kept out of sight and take up minimal space wherever it goes.
Overall, while there isn’t much difference between the M1 and M2 Mac minis in terms of design, they still remain essential machines for powerful computing tasks. The combination of efficient processors and stunning retro-futurism make these devices highly desirable as both a work machine for professionals and a hobbyist’s tool. On top of all that, they are simply too small to be easily noticed by others – no matter how many times you happen to move them around your house or office desk without people realizing they changed locations.
M1 Mac mini vs M2 Mac mini: Which is faster?
The M1 Mac mini has proven to be an extremely powerful little machine, capable of giving laptops and even desktops a run for their money in performance tests. Its unified memory model allows it unlimited access to the 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU without bogging down in multitasking tasks. But the M2 chip promises to take this performance to a whole new level, with an 8-core CPU up to 12 cores and a 10-core GPU up to 19 cores. This would make the new Mac mini’s 2021 M2 Pro more than capable of handling complex multi-tasking operations, while maintaining exceptional speed.
With these increased capabilities we expect that the M2 Mac mini will easily outperform its predecessor’s M1 model. We should also anticipate quieter operation from the machines as well, due to improved heat management from the new chip design. Overall, upgrading or buying a 2021 Mac mini should offer unrivaled performance when compared with previous models – propelling your daily tasks into gracefully executed experiences.
iMac vs Mac mini
The latest M1 iMac certainly brings with it a host of new capabilities and features, but unfortunately the small display size leaves a lot to be desired. For users with big projects or who work in media production, this tiny display is simply not enough to make the most out of the hardware. Furthermore, the I/O on the new M1 iMac also leaves something to be desired; it doesn’t come equipped with many ports which are used by photographers, digital artists and content creators who need access to more I/O than what is provided. Finally, the design itself isn’t for everyone as it looks quite strange when placed in an office; although some people love it, others aren’t so keen and wish there was another option available.
A very attractive alternative could be the apple Mac mini; although its design won’t win any awards anytime soon, it does come equipped with all of the ports that even professional creatives need to get their jobs done. The specs are above average as well for a machine this small size and there are plenty of models available offering great value for money. Furthermore, since the apple Mac mini will connect directly to any external displays you can use whatever size you want which makes it great for those who are looking for a more compact form factor without sacrificing power or functionality.
In summary, the Mac Mini is not a PC, it is an Apple product. It has similar components and features as PCs but generally offers higher performance due to its unified memory architecture, powerful processors, and efficient design. The Mac Mini also offers a sleek aesthetic that makes it attractive on any desk or shelf. Ultimately, the Mac Mini provides more than enough power for basic tasks while taking up minimal space.

President Akufo-Addo has reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the December 7 polls is conducted in a free, fair and peaceful environment.
The President made the commitment once more while on a one-day tour of the Hohoe constituency in the Volta region on Saturday, 21st November 2020.
While addressing Chiefs and other traditional leaders at the Franco hall, President noted that, Ghana is currently seen as the beacon of democracy and has credentials of conducting very peaceful elections -a reputation his is committed to protecting going into the elections.
“The commitment that was made by Togbega that the people of Hohoe are determined to conduct peaceful elections here in Hohoe, is a commitment that I value very very much. It is a commitment that should be duplicated all throughout the length and breadth of our country,” he said.
He added “Our country is today, a shining beacon of democratic credentials on the African continent as the elections are coming in two weeks, three days time, we should go to enhance that reputation and that status of Ghana. On my part, I want to assure you that whatever that must be done by the government and the security agencies to guarantee the peace and stability of our country and to ensure that the election are conducted in a peaceful atmosphere will be done on my part.”
The President who was welcomed into a rapturous atmosphere by residents and party faithfuls who thronged the St. Augustine park for the launch of Peter Amewu’s campaign took the opportunity to entreat the cheerful crowd to ‘climb the back of the elephant’ in ensuring the transformation of the constituency and the country as a whole.
President Nana Akufo-Addo also commissioned a micro hydropower generating station constructed by the Bui Power Authority.
The 45kW Tsatsadu facility located at Alavanyo-Abehenease in the Hohoe municipality was co-founded by the Danish and Chinese governments through the Renewal Energy Technology Transfer (UNDP-RETT) project.

It has been a year since we released (in GA) our last TA API (v3.0). After five previews of adding features, responsible AI, incorporating customer feedback, UX feedback, and optimizations; in July 2021 we announced GA (General Availability) of Text Analytics v3.1. With this release, starting July 2021 customers can use Text Analytics for health, Opinion Mining, PII and Analyze as GA offerings. Text Analytics for health is a feature of the Text Analytics API service that extracts and labels relevant medical information from unstructured texts such as doctor's notes, discharge summaries, clinical documents, and electronic health records. Millions of Text Records were processed during the preview in the last year.
Epic Systems, America's largest electronic health records company, maintains medical information for 180 million U.S. patients (56% of the population). Using the slogan, "with the patient at the heart," it has a portfolio of 20 proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms designed to identify different illnesses and predict the length of hospital stays. As with many proprietary algorithms in medicine and elsewhere, users have no way of knowing whether Epic's programs are reliable or just another marketing ploy. The details inside the black boxes are secret and independent tests are scarce. One of the most important Epic algorithms is for predicting sepsis, the leading cause of death in hospitals.
Clinical Trials are the mandatory path for developing and bringing a new drug or vaccine to the market. Unfortunately, according to a study conducted by MIT, 86 percent of the drugs will fail during this process. This very high failure rate not only has consequences on the Pharmaceutical companies' bottom line, but it precludes potentially safe and efficacious drugs from reaching patients that could benefit from them. Recruitment is one of the main bottlenecks, is time-consuming, and very expensive. According to Chunhua Weng from Columbia University (New York), "Recruitment is the number one barrier to clinical research."
A federal rule that requires health care providers to offer patients free, convenient and secure electronic access to their personal medical records went into effect earlier this year. However, providing patients with access to clinician notes, test results, progress documentation and other records doesn't automatically equip them to understand those records or make appropriate health decisions based on what they read. "Medicalese" can trip up even the most highly educated layperson, and studies have shown that low health literacy is associated with poor health outcomes. University of Notre Dame researcher John Lalor, an assistant professor of information technology, analytics and operations at the Mendoza College of Business, is part of a team working on a web-based natural language processing system that could increase the health literacy of patients who access their records through a patient portal. NoteAid, a project based at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, conveniently translates medical jargon for health care consumers.
Several artificial intelligence algorithms developed by Epic Systems, the nation's largest electronic health record vendor, are delivering inaccurate or irrelevant information to hospitals about the care of seriously ill patients, contrasting sharply with the company's published claims, a STAT investigation found. Employees of several major health systems said they were particularly concerned about Epic's algorithm for predicting sepsis, a life-threatening complication of infection. The algorithm, they said, routinely fails to identify the condition in advance, and triggers frequent false alarms. Some hospitals reported a benefit for patients after fine-tuning the model, but that process took at least a year. Unlock this article by subscribing to STAT and enjoy your first 30 days free!
Amazon HealthLake is a new, HIPAA-eligible service designed to store, transform, query, and analyze health data at scale. You can bring your healthcare data into Amazon HealthLake using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) R4 APIs. If you don't have your data in FHIR R4, Amazon has collaborated with industry experts to build Amazon HealthLake connectors to help you with custom file and HL7 to FHIR R4 mappings. This post highlights one of those partners, Redox, and their Amazon HealthLake Connector. Developers at over 300 companies use the Redox platform to exchange data with more than 1,700 healthcare provider organizations.
The advent of Electronic Health Record systems and their accompanying documentation has created a deep fissure within the medical community. Epidemic-level numbers show that more and more physicians report feeling burnt out and depressed. The overall rate of work-life happiness reported by healthcare providers dropped below 50% thanks to the pandemic. Numbers released in Medscape's 2021 physician lifestyle report state that 43% of all physicians report feeling burnt out. Of those burnt-out physicians, 58% say they feel that way due to the long list of bureaucratic tasks like note taking and EHR documentation.
Projected a few years ago to be a $150 billion industry by 2026, Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are radically transforming industries around the world and healthcare is no exception to this development. New AI applications are being developed and experimented with to streamline administrative and medical processes, enhance clinical decision making and support, manage long-term care - all of which are showing great promise. AI in healthcare refers to the use of complex algorithms designed to mimic human cognition and perform certain tasks in an automated fashion at a fraction of the time and cost. Simply put, when data is injected into the platform, algorithms, and machine learning solutions kick in, working with the data, using deep data analytics, and delivering outcomes and reports which would be as accurate if not more than human interventions. From making more accurate diagnoses, finding links between genetic codes to powering surgical robots, maximising administrative efficiency, and understanding how patients will respond to treatment plans, there are limitless opportunities to leverage AI in healthcare. Using machine learning in precision medicine can help predict what treatment protocols are likely to succeed based on a patient's attributes, treatment history, and context, allowing more accurate and impactful interventions at the right moment in a patient's care.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) has initiated the onset of transformation in healthcare by digitizing valuable patient information. Still, about 70% of human-generated data like clinical notes and audio interview transcripts, which is a part of EHR remain unused. This unstructured data, if successfully processed, could turn into an information gold mine. They carry valuable information that could potentially help healthcare providers in making the right decisions and even foresee complications that may occur during the course of a procedure. While the value of structured data in EHRs are well known, research shows that the real-world data captured in the unstructured format too holds immense value.
With the continuous evolvement of Artificial Intelligence, the world is being benefited to the utmost level, as the applications of Artificial Intelligence is unremitting. This technology can be operated in any sector of industry, including the healthcare industry.The advancement of technology and the AI (Artificial Intelligence), as a part of modern technology have resulted in the formation of a digital macrocosm. Machine learning technologies as a part of Artificial Intelligence, can be applied to the electronic health records, with the help of this the clinical professionals can hunt for proper, error-free, confirmation-based statistics that has been cured by medical professionals. Further Artificial Intelligence technology with the help of electronic health records is used in healthcare industry that allows the cardiologists to recognize critical cases first and give diagnosis with accuracy and potentially avoiding errors. Making a start from Natural Language process, Algorithms and medical coding, imaging and diagnosis, there is a long way for the Artificial Intelligence to be capable of innumerable activities and to help medical professionals in making superior decisions.


The filtration process for bottled water varies. Filters are used to eliminate particles that degrade the clarity of bottled water as well as potentially hazardous organisms like Cryptosporidium oocysts. Alfa Chemistry products were discovered while making bottled water and were used to help make bottled water filtration. Its applications include particle removal, microbiological protection of cysts/oocysts and bottled water, and sterile gas filtration for carbonation and backpressure gas as a leading global provider in this business. We also offer a comprehensive line of bottled water quality control products for detecting particle and microbiological contamination.
Carbon Dioxide Filtration
Water bottlers can make foamy goods by adding carbon dioxide to their water. Microorganisms could be present in the CO2 pipeline, contaminating the product. Sterile filtration can be employed in these applications to prevent the introduction of microbiological pollutants such as mold and bacteria through CO2.
The PFRW filter element from Alfa Chemistry can be used for aseptic gas filtering. The filter element uses a double-layer polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a 0.2 micron rating that is folded into a single-opening filter element with a large surface area. They're built to handle extreme in-situ steam conditions in both forward and reverse directions.
Enhanced Microbial Retention
The Alfa Chemistry II JSD filter element for enhanced microbial retention is a hydrophilic membrane filter that reliably retains bacteria during bottled water final filtration. The filter was designed and tested to remove bacteria from bottled water more effectively, safely, and reliably. Membranes made of polyvinylpyrrolidone fluoride (PVDF) are 0.2 and 0.1 microns thick.
At each stage of filtration, including pre-filtration, before raw water enters the process, the continual usage of filters with Ultipleat configuration is important to the absolute purity of the end product. A continuous Profile membrane is used in a crescent-shaped pleated structure that is unique to the filter. To allow uniform flow through each fold, each fold is linked with a spiral wrap. Reduced pressure drop and higher flow rates are two advantages of the Ultipleat arrangement, resulting in unrivaled filter life.
Filters with an Ultipleat structure have the following advantages:
- Longer service life is possible with uniform flow distribution.
- The spiral wrap is attached to each fold to keep the folds in a uniform state of the circulation and prevent them from collapsing and bunching.
- Many pleated polypropylene membrane filters have a shorter service life, which lowers costs and reduces replacement.
- Fold and deep media capacity have a higher flow rate and a lower pressure difference than fold and deep media capacity.
Alfa Chemistry is a chemical company that specializes in PFRW filters can be used as ventilation filters to keep mold, bacteria, and other microbial contaminants out of water tanks and storage tanks.
Even in humid situations, the filter's two layers of 0.2 millimeter polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane protect the sterile tank from germs, mold, and particulates. The rest of the filter is made of oxidation-resistant polypropylene. With a filter area of 107 /cm2 and 100 percent integrity testing, the fully manufactured components passed the Brevundimonas diminuta liquid challenge verification. Water infiltration and forward flow tests can be used to check the integrity of PFRW filters.

JiYoung Kim, director of marketing for mobile CRM applications vendor Vettro, said that she could easily imagine her company creating software for use on ultramobiles like the Origamis in the future, but she said part of the problem with addressing such opportunities in the past has been a lack of coordination among hardware makers and software developers. "One of the conversations were always having with Microsoft is the challenge faced by companies like us with when something like the Java-based devices first came out," said Kim.If Microsoft and its manufacturer partners are serious about courting business users, Kim said, they will need to make sure that the software development community receives sufficient support. "The only platform provider that has succeeded to that end so far is RIMs BlackBerry, Microsoft software has a lot of nuances, and you dont want to have to optimize applications for each different device," she said. "When we see new devices like Origami come on the market, we usually have to wait and see where demand is before going after it; its a chicken and egg scenario, as theres always a debate of who needs to support whom between device makers and software providers." "Microsoft will need to drive some level of standardization to keep people from pointing fingers at each other in terms of delivering applications on time," Kim said. Other experts pointed out that various sub-notebook PCs made by vendors such as Sony and Fujitsu already deliver some of the benefits Microsoft could advertise around Origami in pushing the devices into the business world. However, said Sam Bhavnani, analyst at Current Analysis, it is "great news" to see someone as powerful as Microsoft thinking about new PC designs. While the lack of keyboard and some other features makes Origami a likely fit only in some niche vertical markets at best, the analyst said, it will only benefit users to have another alternative on the market, he believes. Read more here about the anticipation surrounding Origami. "Tablets were a total failure in the corporate market, but there was some success in verticals like education and you could see some applications like that for Origami," Bhavnani said. "On the other hand, the new generation of smart phone type devices will compete with something like this, but Origami doesnt go in your pocket; it could make travel life a lot easier for executives, traveling sales people or remote workers in certain niche markets." Gartner analyst Martin Reynolds predicted that it will wont likely be until 2008 when enough Origami devices and applications reach the market to build any sort of momentum for the platform among business users, but he said that he could envision workers such as restaurant wait staffers or field service technicians adopting the smaller PCs. Another issue that Microsoft and its partners will need to address in order to make that vision a reality, said Reynolds, will be the demand by some business users to be able to integrate the Origamis with traditional desktop PCs. "Most business people will still need some manner to synch up with their other computers, as you dont want two separate PC environments to manage," he said. "If that could be addressed with a shared system or something that allows the smaller device to connect to a faster processor or more memory, that could help drive a lot of interest."
