The Academic Deans' Office conducts a number of searches to identify and recruit new faculty members. Searches arise when the dean and the academic deans, in consultation with the area chairs and other faculty members, perceive a need for a scholar in a given field.
In making faculty appointments, we use the following five criteria:
- Achievement in applied public policy and management
- Potential institutional contribution
- Quality of mind
At Harvard Kennedy School, fostering a diverse and inclusive community where everyone feels they belong is a matter of basic fairness consistent with our core values as an institution. It is also essential to our mission of improving public policy and leadership—because recruiting the best people and creating an environment where they can thrive make us better at what we do, because we learn more from people with different perspectives, and because we work in diverse groups and serve diverse societies.
Harvard Kennedy School is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy-related conditions, or any other characteristic protected by law. The Harvard Kennedy School is committed to building a diverse academic community, so we encourage applications from women, historically marginalized groups, and people of all political views and socioeconomic standings.
Our current searches are listed below. Applications should be submitted in writing to the chair of the appropriate search committee. If indicated in the advertisement, you may apply directly through Academic Recruiting Information eSystems (ARIeS).
Senior Professorship in Urban Policy and City Governance
The Harvard Kennedy School invites applications for a chaired professorship in the field of urban policy and city governance. The School anticipates making a tenured appointment at the rank of full Professor, but will also consider applications from senior practitioners for an untenured Professor of Practice appointment. The professor is expected to provide intellectual leadership for the school’s city-related activities and be affiliated with the University’s new Bloomberg Center for Cities. The field of the search is broadly defined to attract accomplished scholars whose research has implications for the residents of cities, including urban policy and politics, urban social policy, urban economics, city management and governance, state and local government, and housing, transportation, or infrastructure. The search is open to candidates from a wide array of disciplines, including, but not limited to, economics, history, law, management, political science, sociology, and urban planning.
The ideal applicant, who may be proposed for an Emma Bloomberg Professorship, will have produced influential scholarship that advances clear and compelling analytical perspectives, will have demonstrated a commitment to applying those perspectives in order to solve public problems, and will seek to engage with policymakers, practitioners, and the public. Applicants must also be able to fulfill the distinctive teaching and institutional requirements of a school of public policy that trains leaders and generates ideas to address national and international challenges. The Harvard Kennedy School is committed to building a diverse intellectual community. We therefore encourage applications from women and historically marginalized groups. A doctoral, professional, or other higher degree is required.
Candidates should send a CV, letter of interest, list of references, two publications, research statement, teaching statement, and teaching evaluations to: Jeffrey Liebman, Chair, Urban Policy and City Governance Search via https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12030. The committee will begin reviewing candidates from February 15, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.
The Harvard Kennedy School invites applications for a tenured appointment in the field of International Affairs, at the rank of full Professor. We seek a scholar who will provide wide-ranging intellectual leadership in this area and whose work offers powerful and original ways to illuminate and explain key aspects of contemporary world affairs, including relations among the major powers. Candidates should have an outstanding record of scholarly publications, the ability and desire to participate in public discussions on global politics and foreign policy, the capacity to teach effectively in a professional degree program and to work in a diverse intellectual and social environment. The position is open to any discipline, including but not limited to political science, history, or law. A doctoral degree or equivalent is required.
Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, list of references, and at least two publications to: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/11380. Applications will be reviewed beginning August 1, and continue until the position is filled.
Ray A. Goldberg Professor of Global Food Systems Policy (Open Rank)
The Harvard Kennedy School invites applications for the Ray A. Goldberg Professorship of Global Food Systems Policy. We seek a candidate with a distinguished record of scholarship and/or engagement in national and international food system and food security challenges, including related issues such as public health, economic development, stewardship of the environment and natural resources, and agribusiness. The position is open rank, and we invite applications from scholars as well as policymakers and practitioners. Candidates should have an outstanding record of scholarly publications and/or a demonstrated track record of engagement in policy and practice related to food systems worldwide, as well as the capacity to teach effectively in a professional degree program and to work in a diverse intellectual and social environment. The position is open to any discipline.
Candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, list of references, and at least two publications to: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/11644. Applications will be reviewed beginning September 30 and continue until the position is filled.
Lecturer in Economics
The Harvard Kennedy School invites applications for lecturer-track positions in the teaching of economics, with at least one position focused on the economics of international development. We seek candidates with a demonstrated track record of teaching excellence and a commitment to the teaching of economic concepts to professional degree program students. The ability to convey conceptual as well as practical knowledge and commitment to the public service mission of Harvard Kennedy School are crucial.
Preference will be given to candidates who combine technical expertise in economics with relevant teaching or policy and practice experience. A doctorate in economics or related field is strongly preferred. The initial appointment is for three years with the possibility of renewal.
Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, list of references, and at least one publication to: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/11709. Applications will be reviewed beginning October 15th and continue until the position is filled.

Doctor Strange has been known to smoke marijuana as well. This should come as no surprise seeing as how Doctor Strange is typically seen as a relaxed and calm character in the comics and movies. He even goes so far as to use marijuana to relax and focus before he meditates on various spells and incantations for powerful magical abilities. It seems like Doctor Strange knows exactly what he’s doing when he uses cannabis—he knows how it can help him focus on the task at hand while calming him down at the same time!
Rocket Raccoon is another character who enjoys smoking marijuana from time to time in the comics and movies. He is often seen with a smirk on his face after taking a few puffs off a joint or bowl—it seems like Rocket Raccoon knows exactly how cannabis can help him relax and de-stress after a long day or mission! Not only that, but Rocket also loves getting high with Groot because they both find it hilarious when they start speaking their own made-up language while under the influence of cannabis!
Surprise the Superheroes fan in your life with a one-of-a-kind gift from the best Marvel & DC Comics clothing and merchandise store! Check out the ultimate gift ideas list for Marvel & DC Comics fans now for unforgettable picks to make them smile.

I don't have my references to hand, but I believe this is the original--the 3m was the variant. The Ju52 was powered by a liquid-cooled Junkers L-5 engine in the 300-500 hp range. While the Ju52 was quite successful as a bush plane in Canada and Australia, the L-5 did not provide much power for an aircraft of that size. Three 700+ hp Pratt and Whitney Hornet radials (license-built by Bramo) greatly improved the airplane, particularly for airline and military use.
According to Turner & Nowarra, five "Ju-52/1m"s were built:
- Ju-52ba c/n 4001 D-1974 (first flight 13 Oct 1930), 800 hp Junkers L88
-- became Ju-52be with 755 hp BMW VIIau
- Ju-52d ? c/n 4002, 800 hp Junkers L88
-- possibly re-engined as Ju-52do, 750 hp Junkers Jumo 204 diesel
- Ju-52di ? c/n 4003 D-2133, 750 hp A-S Leopard radial
- Ju-52ce c/n 4004 D-2317/SE-ADM, 755 hp BMW VIIau
- Ju-52cai c/n 4005 D-2356, 750 hp BMW IXu
- Ju-52cao c/n 4006 CF-ARM, BMW VIIa then 825 hp RR Buzzard
Airframes differed slightly from the later Ju-52/3m. The Ju-52's vertical tail was smaller and horn-balanced and the Ju-52di was flown for a time with a shortened rear fuselage.

What another great story by Melissa Foster. I loved Jake and Addy together, their relationship as well as their chemistry was so intense. I enjoyed reading Rescued by Love, but I also enjoyed the audio version as well. B.J. Harrison has a voice that just brings the characters and the story to life.
Two Independent, Fierce...and STUBBORN souls
Another great narration by BJ Harrison...and, of course, more great writing from Melissa.
WOW!!! Jake & Addy! We knew they'd be hot!! Two fierce and independent individuals are bound to do that. But WOW, can we also say STUBBORN! :-) Addy has a stubborn streak that she KNOWS causes issues in some aspects of her life. But how can you blame her. After living 18 years with her father taking care of EVERYTHING for her and her mother, she didn't want to have to depend on a man to get her through life. She wanted to do it on her own. She didn't think even falling in love was in the cards, because she feared that menat giving up herself and everything she wanted.
Enter Jake Ryder and all her independence is in jeopardy, or so she thinks!
Jake has had a thing for Addy the minute he met her with her smart mouth and fierce independence! The one thing he absolutely he cant get enough of is the one thing that could pull them apart. He tries, with everything he has, to be patient and show Addy she can be with him and still be herself. She doesn't have to give anything up. But Addy's past and her family have proven two times over how much the thinks she will give up surrendering to the desire that has built between her and Jake.
Her solo trip into the mountains causes anxiety and Jake to realize that he loves her! He is bound and determined to show her that she can be the woman he fell in love with and not change one thing about herself, except letting him in!
Rescued by Love by Melissa Foster was a great read. This is the fourth book in The Ryder’s series. Addison has returned to Elpitha Island for Gabriella’s wedding. Jake and Addison decide to give into their urges and spend the weekend together. I absolutely loved reading Addison and Jakes story. I listened to the audiobook and thought it was absolute perfection. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and giving them much more depth. I can’t wait to read more Ryder’s stories.

David Ignatius’ latest column “How debt imperils national security” could not get the issue of spending and national security more wrong. He starts off fine asserting that there is “consensus among national security experts inside and outside the Obama administration: To play an effective role in the world, the United States must rebuild its economic strength at home.”
Of course, screwing up the economy undermines national security. But Ignatius goes on to laud Defense Secretary Gates for declaring that “Congress must stop shoveling money at the military.” As if military spending is responsible for America’s fiscal mess.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Defense spending is less than a fifth of the federal budget (it used to be half). The US spends far less on defense (as a percentage of GDP) than it did during the Cold War. What has changed is out of control domestic spending.
Instead of addressing these realities Ignatius joins those who believe America cannot afford to defend itself. Cutting funding for the men and women who provide for the common defense will not balance our budget.
There is a better way to win The Long War: reigning in runaway entitlements, rescinding failed stimulus funding, ending domestic programs that are more about buying votes than delivering government services.

RHYME OR DIE *** UK 2021 Dir: Max Lincoln. 10 mins
Small films like short stories are the hardest to write and review they must be complete in scope much like the literature format ‘shotgun fiction’ designed to be read while waiting for public transport. Writer Alex Moran and Director Max Lincoln take to the concept of a ‘rap contest’ and combine it with the Saw franchise to a deadlier conclusion with Rhyme Or Die (2021). Five strangers of diverse backgrounds are kidnapped only to wake up with ‘Thrall‘ like metal collars (From the Classic Star Trek episode The Gamesters of Triskelion). The five are told to rhyme to the musical beats of their female captor Dynamo (Bethan Cullinane). What follows is a battle of wills and verbal dexterity punctuated by the shrill voice of Dynamo and pulsating music. Those that fail in the rhyme within a time limit are killed in various gory ways from their attached collars by Dynamo who simply and gleefully pushes a button.
Rhyme Or Die (2021) is well-paced with strong images, particularly with the excellent opening that brings you into the world of dark and a potential for death. All the actors as you must be in a short film are sincere and try to project a different personality in very limited screen time, perhaps a few seconds in closeup before long master shots to two shots. Colin (Victor Alli), Nidal (Mohammad Amiri), Harry (Samuel Blenkin), Kaye (Racheal Ofori) and Eve (Olumide Olorunfemi) all try to live but only the few survive. Decapitations, throats being slit and heads exploding all in just over ten minutes. The end comes when a choice is made between family and life is hard but logical for the characters concerned. Surviving also gives way to bewilderment.
If you can get by the shrillness of the voice of Dynamo as the captor and some of her repetitive phrases you can catch some of the clever wordplay of the actors. The film doesn’t explain how they got into this situation or who Dynamo is which it couldn’t do in the time allowed. Rhyme Or Die (2021) did win the “Best Screenplay Short” at Manchester Film Festival, 2023 (UK) and was nominated for “Best Horror” Performance Short Film Competition, 2022 (UK). This parable of diction, betrayal and thinking on your feet under threat is making the rounds on the film festival circuit. Oh yes, there will be words.
Review by Terry Sherwood
Rhyme Or Die is scheduled to be released on SHORT OF THE WEEK in October 2023 & WATCH ALTER in January 2024

Leaders of the local First Ridgetown Scouts club are concerned about the future of their home meeting space.
Chatham-Kent Council amended a motion to have The Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown take over operations and liability for the ‘Scout Hut’ on Ebenezer Street after multiple councillors spoke up to ensure other service groups retained the same level of access.
Councillor John Wright put forth a motion to have Chatham Kent enter into a legal agreement with the Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown, chartered in 1947, to lease the building for a three-year period at $1 per year as a pilot project.
“Both Rotary and Kiwanis were invited to a meeting, and we discussed the different ways in how this would work,” said Wright presenting the motion.
But Adam Frazee, a 22-year resident of Ridgetown and Scouter with the First Ridgetown Scout group, has concerns. He admitted, at first glance, that the notion of the Kiwanis Club taking over control of the Scout Hut would appear as something that would be ok. However, he said the lack of information shared with the Scout group has been very concerning.
“We were first notified the Kiwanis Club was looking to acquire the Scout Hut on February 18. We were reassured that nothing would change for the Scouts, and we would be included in any future meetings pertaining to the Scout Hut changing management. However, during an impromptu, informal discussion on April 16 with a member of Kiwanis, we were informed we would be charged anywhere from $50 a week or maybe $1,500 a year,” he said.
Frazee said what is lacking in Wright’s motion is the mention of the continued and historic free use of the Scout Hut by Scouts and guides or any mention of youth being the primary user of the building.
In a deputation given to council, the Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown has switched from a meeting-driven approach to a mission-driven one.
“Currently, the Scout Hut building has little activity for community use, with the exception of the Ridgetown Scouts. This building is at risk, as it has been for many years, due to expenses and lack of use. This is an amazing building the Ridgetown Rotary built many years ago for the Scouts, and it has never been the intention of the Kiwanis Club to dismiss the Rotary Club for their contribution to this building and the community and want continued success for the Ridgetown Scout groups,” read the deputation from the club.
However, the club said they need to find a way to recover the costs of running the building without causing financial hardship.
“After reviewing utility costs of approximately $6,000 in 2019, since then, the only rental income for the Scout Hut has been from Elections Canada and a private family Christmas, which generated $1,200,” said the club. “In order to cover the utility costs, we would need to generate more than $120 per week.”
The Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown said they are offering to take over running the building, including rentals. However, they are requesting financial assistance from the municipality to cover utilities for the next three years.
“We believe we can become self-sufficient in taking over the running of this building and making it a successful community centre,” said the club.
As it stands, the Scouts use the building Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and have the use of a storage area that is approximately 10x20. According to the deputation from the Kiwanis Club of Ridgetown, they have no intention of changing these days and storage being available to them going forward.
However, the club highlighted that the Scouts paid $20 per hour for rent in the past.
“We propose in the future they would pay $50 per week for the 32 weeks used. The Kiwanis Club would hold their meetings on Thursday nights and pay the $50 per week for meeting space and use the storage area,” said the club.
While admitting this would be a financial change for the Scouts, the Kiwanis Club believes the Scouts have many ways they can request financial assistance.
According to Angela Frazee, group commissioner for the First Ridgetown Scouts, since her family has been directly involved in the First Ridgetown unit over the last seven years, they have provided voluntary janitorial services for the building.
“We were told this was an agreement in our contract as a tradeoff for free meeting space. We are not just a user of this space. We are a true partner and feel we should have been taken into consideration as stakeholders before the building is handed over,” she said.
The group commissioner added that the Scout group doesn’t just provide leadership for Ridgetown youth. She said the group includes families coming from Blenheim, Cedar Springs, Erieau, Chatham, Rondeau, Highgate, Bothwell, Thamesville, and beyond the CK borders.
“This is not just a Ridgetown decision. Each of the 25 families and more than 10 leaders bring their shopping to Ridgetown and boost the economy. The Scout Hut is not just a building; it’s a community Hut that should be shared by all,” she said.
She added she is not sure how the Hut can receive income now as the Hut has been removed from the CK portal as a rental facility
After bringing it to the attention of the municipality, the municipal staff member advised they were told to leave the Hut off the site. Frazee said all other rental facilities in the municipality were listed and available for rent.
“It is difficult to collect revenue from a rental that is not advertised as available,” she said. “I ask council to take our group into consideration and allow all stakeholders to have a voice in the process.”
Meanwhile, Scout leader Adam Frazee said a meeting regarding the future of the building took place May 5 at the Scout Hut. However, he claims representatives from First Ridgetown Scouts were not invited.
“I have been told by councillors and members of the community that it is already a done deal, and the meetings have taken place with officials, and it’s just waiting for council’s seal of approval,” said Frazee.
He said being left in the dark makes him worried about how the new landlord-tenant relationship will work out and has put great stress on some of the leaders.
Councillor Wright confirmed that the Kiwanis were trying to take the building over but had no desire to kick the Scouts out.
According to the local councillor, he confirmed the result of the discussion was that the groups utilizing the space would help pay for utilities with a $50 weekly or weekend fee.
“The building is a good building, but it needs a bunch of updates. The Kiwanis are willing to take that on, with some [funding] coming from grants and some from donations and fundraisers,” said Wright, adding that the space would not be permitted to be rented for events with alcohol.
But Scout leader Frazee said Scouting is not cheap or easy. He added that each family pays a national fee for their child to be in the program, which covers liability.
“Having free access to a meeting space helps keep costs affordable for a lot of families. It is more than just a hall or a meeting space that not enough adults are using or a building that doesn’t make money. It is an investment. It is an incubator that has and will hopefully keep turning our great future citizens into leaders,” said Frazee.
Councillor Steve Pinsonneault said he’d received calls from concerned Scout leaders. He added the $50-a-week fee was very affordable.
“This pilot project could be the start of something good, where we can offload the costs of running these buildings from these service clubs, but they get the benefit of the building,” he said. “It’s a win-win for everybody.”
According to Pinsonneault, the community will see a clear benefit at the end of the three-year pilot project.
Meanwhile, Laura Webb, a mother of two Scouts and administrator for First Ridgetown Scout, said she is very concerned about the motion regarding the building the Scouts have called home for 55 years. She is asking council to amend the motion to include the Scouts who have called this place their home.
“It is not called the Youth Centre here. It is called the Scout Hut,” she said. “To not include us has left some of us Scouters with sleepless nights wondering where some of the youth will end up who didn’t fit in the sports world around here.”
While all of the Council seemed supportive of the pilot project, the motion was deferred, being amended to first complete a report on the feasibility of the agreements with service groups, as well as more details on the general operations under the Kiwanis Club.
It’s estimated it would take 2-3 months to work through the stakeholder input and reporting process.
According to Dave Taylor, Legal Services Director, it would still take 1-2 months even if the original motion had passed.
Council failed Ceccacci’s motion after Wright agreed to amend the initial motion, adding a second statement that the details requested would be provided before final approval of the pilot project. The amended initial motion passed 16-0.

TAMPA (BLOOM) – Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is gearing up to introduce its unique dining concept in Tampa at WestShore Plaza, located at 214 Westshore Plaza #C-39, this upcoming Sunday, Oct. 22. To celebrate the occasion, a grand opening event is scheduled for Oct. 25, which will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Sushi plates are priced at a standard $3.55 across all Kura locations.
The restaurant aims to revolutionize the local sushi landscape with its state-of-the-art two-tiered conveyor belt system. This system flows throughout the dining space, presenting guests with a variety of over 140 Japanese-inspired dishes directly at their table.
The extensive menu doesn’t stop at sushi; it also offers a diverse range of soups, including ramen, udon, and miso. Side options vary from dumplings and fried rice to tempura. Dessert enthusiasts can indulge in an extensive sweets menu that features items like mochi ice cream, sesame balls, and cheesecake.
This Tampa location occupies a 2,734 square-foot space and represents Kura’s first presence in the city as well as its third in the state of Florida. Kura already boasts over 50 locations across the United States.
For its soft opening from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24, the restaurant will operate from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Beginning on Oct. 25, the regular business hours will be as follows: Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Yes, Ebola Is Fading, But Now So Are Hopes For A Vaccine
New cases of Ebola in West Africa, once feared to reach 10,000 per week, leveled off at 100 last month. In Liberia, where casualties initially numbered in the thousands, only four new cases emerged in the final week of January.
Good news, to be sure. But the decline of Ebola could also kill the beleaguered Ebola vaccine project. Over the weekend, vaccine developer Chimerix pulled the plug on its Ebola vaccine, after scientists were unable to find patients to enroll in clinical trials. “Without having enough patients there to make any conclusions, it wasn’t feasible for us to push forward,” Chimerix CEO Michelle Berrey told The New York Times.
It’s disappointing, but hardly surprising. The elusive Ebola vaccine got off to a rough start, and fast-tracking its development proved controversial. Even as the World Health Organization attacked the drug industry for stalling, scientists expressed serious doubts about the safety of speeding up vaccine development. Ebola is a fickle virus, they cautioned, and sloppy trials could lead to deadly mistakes.
If history repeats, we won’t see an Ebola vaccine anytime soon. Since at least 2005, scientists have known about one promising Ebola vaccine that is nearly 100 percent effective in monkeys. It sat on a shelf for 10 years, waiting for the drug industry to take interest. “There’s never been a big market for Ebola vaccines,” Thomas W. Geisbert, an Ebola expert at the University of Texas, told The New York Times when asked about vaccine delays.
“It takes a crisis sometimes to get people talking.”

Real estate agents say they're keeping an eye on state lawmakers this week.
The Florida Legislature is meeting in special session to balance a $2.3 billion budget shortfall. And the Florida Association of Realtors will "monitor recommendations" that could hurt the state's housing industry.
"There's a saying, 'As real estate goes, so goes the economy'," FAR President Cynthia Shelton said. "Housing and commercial real estate investment has always lifted our economy out of past downturns and will do so again. In these challenging economic times, the legislature will be faced with tough choices. We all recognize the need to cut spending and tighten belts; however, no action should be taken that would raise the cost of homeownership, business ownerships or investments for Floridians."
By the way, we reported here last week that one local agent says she's sick of the misinformation being spread about financing requirements.
Now the state Realtors' group is taking up the matter, issuing a news release that says a borrower may be required to put down 20 percent based on that person’s financial situation – but that's not an across-the-board requirement.
FAR goes on to say that Federal Housing Administration financing requires a 3.5 percent downpayment by borrowers as long as they meet a 31 percent housing cost-to-income ratio.

(PRWEB) December 07, 2016
On December 1, 2016, The City of Frederick Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved the Grow Conditional Micro Grant program for Frederick businesses.
The program provides matching grant funds up to a maximum of $5,000 to assist small businesses as they start-up or grow in Frederick. Graduates of the Frederick Innovative Technology Center Inc. are eligible to receive up to $10,000. The initial amount of program funding is $30,000.
The Department of Economic Development will manage and oversee the program.
Businesses in the targeted industries of advanced technology, manufacturing, life sciences and information technology are eligible to apply. Additionally, catalytic projects can also be considered for funding under this program.
“Our goal is to lower the start-up or expansion costs that many small businesses face,” said Richard Griffin, director of Economic Development for Frederick. “This program is designed to provide assistance to companies in fields that traditionally provide family-supporting wages. As they grow, hire staff, and train employees, the entire community benefits.”
To qualify for the Grow Conditional Micro Grant program, businesses must be located within The City of Frederick, have fewer than 25 full-time employees, and be in one of the targeted industry categories or qualify as a catalytic project. Eligible expenses for funding include improvements to the property where the business is located or workforce training for employees.
Grants are competitive and will be awarded based on a scoring system on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested applicants should review the Grow Conditional Micro Grant program overview and application. These forms and additional information can be found online at bit.ly/growfrederick (case sensitive) or businessinfrederick.com.

Q: I want to have my Winchester Model 70 rebarreled to something faster than the .22-250. The .220 Weatherby Rocket and the .22- 250 Ackley Improved passed through my mind and kept right on going. Then my gunsmith suggested the .22-284 which is rare enough to tempt me to try it. What are your thoughts about this?
A: The .220 Swift moves a 50gn bullet at over 4000 fps, and Weatherby’s improved version, the Rocket, added about 200 fps to that velocity without increasing the pressure. Today the Rocket is obsolete, but a faster .22 is found in the .22-284 which shoots the 50gn bullet at 4400fps at no greater pressure than the .220 Swift produces. Personally, I think the .22-284 is at its best with heavy bullets weighing from 70 to 90 grains in a barrel with a 1:8″ twist. It would make a pretty fair deer rifle with a load pushing the stout RWS 74gn Cone-Point at 3700fps or more. I’ve never worked with this wild and wooly wildcat so don’t ask me for load data. Maybe you could start by using data for the .224-6mm Improved?

Professor Sonia Livingstone of LSE's Department of Media and Communications has analysed the role of television advertising in relation to childhood obesity for Ofcom. The report, Child Obesity - food advertising in context, is published today (Thursday 22 July).
The research was undertaken in response to a request in December 2003 from the secretary of state for culture, media and sport that Ofcom look at the rules relevant to food advertising directed at children.
As part of the research programme, Ofcom commissioned Professor Livingstone to conduct a full and independent review of relevant academic research. She looked at:
The Food Standards Agency's Hastings Report
The Food Advertising Unit's response (by Paliwoda and Crawford) to that report.
The reviews by Professor Brian Young of television advertising
Other relevant academic literature on factors which influence children's food choices and on children's understanding of advertising, segmented by age.
Professor Livingstone's two reports, A Commentary on the Research Evidence Regarding the Effects of Food Promotion on Children and Advertising Foods to Children: understanding promotion in the context of children's daily lives, co-authored with Ellen Helsper, LSE, can now be found online.
Ofcom's research shows that television advertising has a modest direct effect on children's food consumption. However, the significance of this is small when compared to other factors potentially linked to childhood obesity such as exercise, trends in family eating habits inside and outside the home, parents' demographics, school policy, public understanding of nutrition, food labelling and other forms of food promotion.
On that basis, Ofcom has concluded that a total ban on such advertising would be both ineffective and disproportionate in its wider impact. Ofcom does, however, support the need for better information about the nutritional content of the products being advertised, and would like advertisements directed at young children to be less attractive, for example by avoiding the use of cartoon characters.

Buying a new boiler is a big investment, and not to be taken lightly, whether it’s a distress purchase because your old boiler has broken down and can’t be repaired, you have extended your home and need a bigger boiler to cope with more radiators or you are concerned about your carbon footprint and want to be more energy efficient.
What most people don’t consider, however, is the state of the system that the boiler is installed into. Existing pipework and radiators could be full of sludge, corrosion debris, bacterial growth and limescale – all of which can find its way into your brand new boiler. This can reduce energy efficiency and the worst case scenario is that all this debris ends up inside the heat exchanger and pipework in your new boiler, blocking it up and causing a breakdown.
Even when boilers are installed on a brand new central heating system, the heating engineer should clean the system thoroughly to remove installation debris, metal swarf (chips or filings), flux residue and grease, before the boiler is installed.
To ensure your system water remains in tip-top condition, there are a number of different water treatment methods that you can discuss with your installer.
When your installer has finished installing your boiler, they need to complete the Benchmark checklist to comply with the terms of the boiler’s warranty. This includes making a note of the water treatment they have carried out.
When you have your boiler serviced, your installer should also check to make sure the water in the heating system has still got the right amount of inhibitor and clean the system filter.
You can read more about how to protect your boiler and heating system in the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council’s (HHIC) Consumer Guide.


Janice Cruz 50 year old NYC woman charged with murdering 97 year old Lower East Side aunt Antonia Cardona. Woman with history of mental issues confesses to strangling elderly woman.
A woman who allegedly strangled her own 97-year-old aunt to death in NYC‘s Lower East Side, reportedly told arresting officers, ‘I killed her, I killed her!’ while being taken into custody over the weekend.
Janice Cruz, 50, was busted on Saturday, Sept. 4, and charged with the murder and strangulation of her 97-year-old aunt, Antonia Cardona.
Cruz who has a history of mental health issues, confessed to her 19-year-old son that she killed the elderly family member.
Cruz who lives in another building in the complex, on Delancey Street, reportedly took care of the elderly woman, helped her get in and out of the bathroom, and used to bring her food every day before murdering her own aunt the nydailynews reported.
‘I don’t understand it, because she would bring her food every day,’ Culma Mercado, 76, Cardona’s longtime friend said. ‘Every day she took care of her.’
‘It’s ridiculous. But things happen. People go off.’
Cardona’s body was discovered in her 18th-floor apartment on Columbia Street in the Baruch Houses on Friday morning, Sept. 3, by Rosa Perez, Cardona’s home health aide who also accompanied the elderly victim to Sunday Mass every week.
‘If I found her in a normal death, a regular death, I wouldn’t be the way I am,’ Perez said.
Following the discovery of Cardona’s body, Cruz was arrested and taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation by law enforcement, the nypost reported.
‘She seemed normal,’ a female local resident said of the niece. ‘We were playing dominoes one time over here on those tables. She seemed normal and I used to see her in and out of the building.’
Added the woman: ‘It didn’t seem like she was that type of person to kill someone. And your own family? C’mon. It’s ridiculous. But things happen. People go off.’
Officials to date did not say what led to the 50 year old woman killing her 97 year old aunt.
Cruz currently awaits her arraignment before the Manhattan Criminal Court.


The first open-air Thrill Blues Festival will be held this July!
The very first Thrill Blues Festival will be held this July, transforming Trilj into a rockin’ blues paradise for everyone to enjoy.
The festival, which will take place on July 14th at the City Park, has promised a full program including music, workshops, documentary screenings, and of course, a complete gastro fair presenting the local delicacies of Trilj and the Cetina region. You can read more about the festival here.
Today, we thought we would get you acquainted with the artists playing the festival this year with the help of Vecernji List on June 20, 2017. Get your dancing shoes on!
Dbluz is a Sinj blues trio of professors and teacher Zlatko Norac. Although the three friends have been playing the blues for years, rock to Irish songs in 2014 gave Dbluz their main identity.
Ozone is legendary Trilj rock band. With a new rejuvenated lineup led by one of the best drummers in the Cetina region, Bruno Lagator, the band plays solid Southern rock and blues. At the Thrill Blues Festival, the band will promote their new single which is a blues rock cover of an old Cetina hit.
Hal is Rijeka acoustic guitar virtuoso who has released six albums and was awarded the Porin. Known for having a very respectable international career, Hal has performed around the world – this performance in Trilj will mark his return to Dalmatia.
Light Under the Black Mountain is a six-member explosive blues band from Kotor in Montenegro. The band will enter the Thrill Blues Festival directly from the studio where they recorded their debut live album. They play almost exclusively original songs.
Sunnysiders are the first Croatian blues band that has passed to the semifinals of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. They performed as support for Johnny Winter, Ana Popovic and many others, and are currently completing their third studio album which they will promote in Trilj.
Eric Sardinas and Big Motor are headlining the festival. Eric is a true world blues star and the best-known representative of the Texas blues rock slide expression. Already around for twenty years and on an ongoing world tour, this group is known for their passionate performances which is ignited by guitars. Eric Sardinas and Big Motor have recorded six studio albums.

The new measures work to promote awareness of eating disorders in the modeling industry, as well as to encourage education on nutrition and lifestyle decisions. One of the main goals is to relate the “overwhelming concern about whether some models are unhealthily thin and whether or not to impose restrictions in such cases.”
According to CNN, this year’s Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week’s models will be the first to walk the runway under the new guidelines, which include tobacco and alcohol free backstage areas, healthy meals, snacks and water provided throughout the shows, and a 16+ age restriction. The measure also requires models with eating disorders to pause their careers and seek help until they are approved to resume work.
The new guidelines are part of the fashion industry’s recent recognition of the serious issue. The National Eating Disorders Association is also involved in the efforts to make a change, stating that the fashion industry is one of the main causes of eating disorders in young women.
“Designers share a responsibility to protect women, and very young girls in particular, within the business, sending the message that beauty is health,” CFDA said in a statement.

Tokyo 2020 Launches ‘Tokyo 2020 Share the Passion’ Project
Will allow sports fans and family members from around the world to deliver messages of support to athletes during the Games
Tokyo, 25 June 2021 – The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) is pleased to announce the launch of the new Tokyo 2020 Share the Passion project. This initiative will allow athletes’ family members as well as spectators from all over the world to deliver text and video messages to athletes using the latest technology and social media platforms, with a selection of messages to be displayed on the big screen at certain venues. With the launch of this project, undertaken with the support of a number of stakeholders including marketing partners and Olympic Broadcasting Services, the Tokyo 2020 Games will become the first major international sports event to implement a ground-breaking digital remote fan engagement solution.
Support from spectators and family members are key to helping athletes perform at their best—and cheering on Olympic and Paralympic athletes is an unforgettable experience for spectators. Although this year’s Tokyo 2020 Games will be different to previous Games, the new Tokyo 2020 Share the Passion initiative will enable Olympic and Paralympic fans around the world to join the Games remotely and express their support for the athletes.
Tokyo 2020 President HASHIMOTO Seiko commented, “When we announced in March that overseas spectators would unfortunately not to be able to come to Japan for the Games, we also said that we would think of ways to help people around the world share their support for the athletes. Although the spectator seats may not be full, the many videos and messages shared through the Tokyo 2020 Share the Passion project and displayed on the big screen will fill the venues with support from around the world, and I am sure that it will further motivate the athletes as they compete.
“In a world in which many people have been separated from each other by the COVID-19 pandemic, I believe that the Tokyo 2020 Games will help us renew our bonds with each other. We are all stronger together, and sport has the power to help bring the world together again. I hope that through these initiatives, we can share the special moments of the Games with as many as possible in a real spirit of solidarity. I am looking forward to many people around the world taking this opportunity to be a part of the Games and deliver their messages of support to the athletes.”
Alibaba Cloud Japan Country Manager UNIQUE Song also commented, “As a worldwide partner of the IOC, we aim to leverage our proven cloud technology to support a digitally transformed Games. As part of our mission, we also want to support the athletes through the Games despite the challenges caused by the pandemic.”.”For Tokyo 2020, we are proud to be launching a pilot project that will facilitate remote fan engagement directly with the athletes within the venues, as well as with other fans worldwide. Working with Tokyo 2020 and our broadcast partners, OBS has developed a suite of digital tools that will not only allow friends and family to engage with athletes within the venue, but also encourage fans all over the world to be actively involved in supporting their national heroes,” stated Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of OBS.

MONCTON, N.B.—A New Brunswick man accused of abducting a woman and keeping her captive for almost a month is “a nice guy” who “has a way with women,” a tenant who lived in the same rooming house of Romeo Cormier testified Friday.
Nora Thompson was one of the three tenants who rented a room in the basement of a rooming house on 6th Street in Moncton where Cormier lived, a jury heard.
She was not able to attend court because of a medical issue, but a statement from her was read to the jury.
Thompson said that one night in March of last year, she heard a woman’s voice coming from Cormier’s room. She said the voice, which was whispering, sounded calm, but she couldn’t understand what was being said.
Thompson said she believed the woman had just been there that evening and had then left.
“Romeo is a nice guy,” she said. “He has a way with women.”
Cormier, 63, is charged with abducting a 55-year-old woman as she left work at a Moncton shopping mall in late February 2010. He has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, assault with a weapon, theft and uttering death threats.
The woman’s identity is protected by a publication ban.
Thompson said she was in her room on March 24, 2010, when Cormier left around noon to go to a food bank.
She said he returned about a half hour later and asked why an outside door leading to the basement was open.
Thompson said Cormier then told her that a girlfriend had been in his room for three weeks and that the girlfriend wanted to leave her husband.
She said Cormier appeared scared and paranoid.
“He knew police were going to come,” Thompson said.
Thompson said she wanted to leave, but Cormier insisted that she stay with him until the police arrived.
Brian Caine, another tenant in the basement of the rooming house, also testified Friday. He told the Court of Queen’s Bench that Cormier always kept his door closed and was generally quiet, except for one day he came home and loud music was coming from Cormier’s room.
Caine said on another day he heard a woman’s voice, but couldn’t understand what was being said.
The two tenants were the final witnesses for the Crown.
The woman testified earlier in the week that Cormier abducted her at knifepoint on the night of Feb. 26, 2010, forced her to walk to his rooming house and kept her against her will for 26 days.
She said she was sexually assaulted almost everyday until March 26, 2010, when she freed her hands and feet and removed a sock and tape used to gag her while Cormier was out.
The driver of a courier truck testified that the woman, wearing a T-shirt, underwear and socks, ran in front of his vehicle, forcing him to stop, and he took her to a local police station.
The defence will begin its case Monday.

ORLEANS — The Firebirds halted a four-game losing streak with a 5-2 win at Chatham on Monday. They were scheduled to play Bourne on Tuesday and at Yarmouth-Dennis on Wednesday.
The win carried extra importance, with the Anglers chasing the Firebirds in the standings. Orleans is currently holding down the fourth and final playoff spot in the Cape Cod Baseball League’s East Division — led by Yarmouth-Dennis.
The Firebirds are 14-19-4 overall and 4-5-1 over their last 10 games. The regular season schedule ends next week against Wareham on Aug. 2.
CCBL All-Stars Nate Furman, Luke Keaschall, and Travis Honeyman continue to spark the team at the plate. The trio have combined to drive in 33 runs this season, while Keaschall and Honeyman have each hit four home runs.
Donye Evans has picked up two losses in his last two starts, including against Chatham on July 21, after being the ace on the mound in his first four outings. Bryce Warrecker, with a league-best 1.73 ERA, has picked up the pitching staff.
Chatham 6, Orleans 3
Orleans slumped to a 6-3 loss on July 21 at Veterans Field. Johnny Castagnozzi went 2 for 3 from the bottom half of the order and scored twice for the Anglers. Donye Evans managed three innings on the hill for Orleans, surrendering three runs, including a two-run homer off the bat of Guy Garibay Jr. Orleans led 1-0 after the first inning, but Chatham scored two in the third and three in the fourth to take a 5-1 advantage. Orleans put up two more runs but couldn’t force a late rally.
Harwich 9, Orleans 4
Harwich put up five runs in the first four innings of action en route to a 9-4 win on July 22 at Whitehouse Field. Sean Sullivan pitched 4 1/3 innings for the Mariners, blanking the Firebirds before giving up a two-run double to Austin Knight in the top of the fifth. Orleans clawed to 6-4 before Harwich posted three runs in the sixth, which pushed the game out of reach.
Orleans 5, Chatham 2
Drew Metzdorf stepped up in his Firebirds debut at Eldredge Field on July 25 with a double that drove in two runs and gave the hosts a 4-2 lead in the eighth inning. Tommy Hopfe then added an insurance run with an RBI. Ben Shields pitched four scoreless innings, surrendering no hits with six strikeouts.
Friday, July 29 vs. Yarmouth-Dennis, 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 30 at Hyannis, 6 p.m.
Sunday, July 31 vs. Brewster, 6:30 p.m.
Monday, Aug. 1 at Brewster, 4 p.m.

The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens (albeit in a controversial new home) at 8pm on 29th August on Channel Four. If you're feeling inspired by the culinary skills of the new contestants why not make Lorraine Pascale's Devil's Food Cupcake Cones, taken from her new book, Bake.
Devil's food cake is a very rich dark chocolate cake, made with cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate. It makes a delicious surprise filling for these ice-cream themed cupcakes. I recommend piping the cake mixture into the ice-cream cones because it's quick and ensures you get the mixture right to the bottom. Decorate with your favourite ice-cream toppings - I've use sprinkles, but you may prefer finely chopped nuts.
12 flat-bottomed cones
40g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
160g self-raising flour
40g cocoa powder
160g caster sugar
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
2–3 tbsp sprinkles
6 chocolate flakes, cut in half (optional)
For the frosting
150g butter, softened
350g icing sugar
seeds of 1 vanilla pod or 2 tsp vanilla extract
few drops each of blue and pink food colouring (optional)
12-hole cupcake tin
hand-held electric whisk or stand mixer
disposable piping bag
2 x piping bags with 1cm straight nozzles
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C/350°F/gas 4) and sit the ice-cream cones in the holes of the cupcake tin to hold them upright.
Melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat, and then take the pan off the heat and add the dark chocolate. Leave the chocolate to melt.
Lightly beat the eggs. Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, eggs and salt in a large bowl with the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Mix to just combine with the hand-held electric whisk and spoon the batter into the disposable piping bag. Snip off the end to give you a wide hole, and
then pipe into the ice-cream cones, filling them no more than three-quarters full or they will overflow while they are cooking.
Place the tin into the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until they are baked. To check that they are cooked, insert a skewer into the centre of a cupcake cone – it should come out clean. Once the cupcake cones are baked, remove them from the oven and leave to cool completely.
While the cones are cooling, make the frosting. Put all of the ingredients apart from the colouring into a large bowl and beat well with the hand-held electric whisk or until the mixture goes light and fluffy. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to do this. To colour the frosting, divide it into bowls and stir through each food colouring, as desired.
Take a piping bag fitted with the 1cm straight nozzle and half-fill it with the frosting. If you have coloured your frosting, use a different bag for each colour. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes so that it looks like ice cream, as per the photograph opposite.
Add sprinkles to each one, and if you feel like it, stick half a chocolate flake in the top to make it look like our beloved Mr Whippy! Serve.

Zagreb - The seventh anniversary of Croatia's accession to NATO was marked on Thursday by a commemorative event organised in the national parliament at which speakers spoke about unconventional threats faced by today's world to which the alliance should seek suitable and efficient responses.
The head of the Croatian parliamentary delegation to NATO's Parliamentary Assembly, Damir Krstičević, said in his key-note speech that the contemporary world was a global village in which nobody could survive without support and interaction with others.
Krstičević also noted that the world was faced with threats of global terrorism, economic crisis, illegal migration, climate change, cyber terrorism and a series of unconventional threats. Each responsible country as well as NATO are seeking appropriate and efficient responses to them, the Croatian MP said.
Defence Minister Josip Buljević, who attended the event as the Prime Minister's envoy, said that no country was an isolated island. Buljević added that Croatia was giving a significant contribution to world peace through its engagement in peace operations run by the UN, the European Union or NATO. "Being a responsible NATO member, Croatia will continue contributing to world peace and security," the minister stressed. He underscored that in the past seven years Croatia had made huge progress and conducted a set of reforms as well as transformed its armed forces.
Parliament Speaker Željko Reiner said that Croatia was at a crossroads of global challenges and had to do everything possible, in cooperation with its partners in NATO, to protect its citizens. "Terrorism knows no borders and cannot be defeated by traditional methods of defence," Reiner said.
David Hobbs, NATO General Assembly Secretary-General, pointed out challenges the alliance was facing in the 21st century, mentioning in that context the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Hobbs called for reinforcing the defence of NATO's eastern members and spoke about hotspots in the Middle East and in east Africa. He expressed satisfaction with the fact that Montenegro would soon join NATO.
Croatia and Albania completed the process of accession to NATO on 1 April 2009. (Hina)


NEWFANE—“We’ve been written up by the state,” Road Foreman Todd Lawley said at the Nov. 7 regular Selectboard meeting.
After a routine inspection conducted by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the agency found three bridges in need of repair. To avoid penalties, the town needs to submit a plan for fixing them.
Two bridges on South Wardsboro Road need their band rails replaced, Lawley said, “because the band rail on one of them is not in good repair, and [on] the other, the band rail is very low to the ground.”
The third bridge cited is on Baker Brook Road, and “it’s a little tiny bridge ... [and] the abutment has gotten undermined from the water,” Lawley said.
Lawley, who also serves as Selectboard chair, said there is money in the budget for all three projects, noting the town has $30,000 for bridge repairs and $8,000 for band rails.
He suggested the Board approve the projects “as emergency work so we can get this off the [AOT’s] hit list,” meaning the repairs wouldn’t have to go through the bidding process.
Lawley contacted Daniels Construction for the abutment project and the Lafayette Company for the bridges needing band rails.
Both submitted quotes, according to Administrative Assistant Shannon Meckle. Daniels’ quote was $5,900, while Lafayette’s wasn't available at press time.
These repairs will likely happen before winter, Lawley said.
“If we don’t do anything ... we’re going to be liable if somebody gets hurt on those bridges,” Lawley said.


SPANISH cops have arrested a hit-and-run driver who allegedly knocked down Dundee United star James Keatings’ dad.
The suspect was held and his car impounded after a police appeal for information following the Saturday morning crash on the holiday island of Gran Canaria.
Striker James, 26, revealed his 55-year-old dad James Snr had been knocked over in a Facebook post later the same day, saying his dad had been “very lucky.”
Officers have confirmed today that they had arrested a man and seized his Nissan Primera so forensics experts could inspect it.
He was described as “foreign” but his nationality has not been revealed. Local police published an appeal for information on social media the day of the hit-and-run horror
They said: “We urgently request the public’s assistance in the hunt for a third generation Nissan Primera registered between 2002 and 2007.”
“It has been involved in an accident resulting in serious injuries, about 3.30am on April 14 in Playa del Ingles.”
A second message said: “Local police have found the Nissan Primera involved in the incident and have arrested the suspected driver.”
A regional government-run emergency services coordination centre said after the hit-and-run: “We were alerted at 3.49am on Saturday. The call we received said a male had been run over and was hurt.
“The 55-year-old man was suffering from a serious head injury when he received initial assistance and was taken by ambulance to hospital - the Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria.”
James, who was on the trip with James Snr and his stepmum, after being sidelined as he recovers from a groin injury, said on Facebook: “What a day it’s been.
“Wake up to find out my dad had been ran over on holiday at three in the morning and the person who done it didn’t even stop and left him unconscious to be found by police on the middle of the road.
“The doctors and police have been great with my stepmum and dad over here. He’s a very lucky man to only have the injuries he has.
“Hopefully in the coming days will get everything sorted out and we can get him home when fit to fly.”

Locals have described the place where the hit-and-run happened as an accident blackspot.
Carter Carson, eight, from Newtownabbey near Belfast, died in hospital on March 30 on the neighbouring island of Tenerife after being knocked over a day earlier by a hit-and-run driver.
Two Latvians were arrested after a police manhunt and the driver was remanded in custody by a judge and told he faces a manslaughter trial.

New recommendation: introduce peanuts to 4-6 month old babies
Louisville, KY (WDRB) -- 14-year-old Cameron Luker is enjoying a sunny day hitting the pavement. He's a runner, a Boy Scout and loves archery. But what he doesn't love is a condition he has to live with. Cameron Luker says, "I'm allergic to nuts, all types of nuts, chocolate and peas."
Allergists say the number of kids with food allergies like peanuts and tree nuts has become an epidemic over the past 12 to 15 years.
Dr. Stephen Pollard with Family Allergy and Asthma says, "30 years ago, we'd rarely see a child with life threatening reactions to a food. Now we see it. It's somewhat common."
More than three million people in the U.S. report being allergic to peanuts, tree nuts or both.
Pollard says there's a reason why so many young children have food allergies. He says, "It seems as though withholding peanut and another highly antigenic foods, we've robbed the child of their natural ability to build up tolerance."
For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised delaying milk until kids reach age one; eggs until age two; and peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts, and fish to age three. But a new recommendation is out.
Pollard says, "I think the experts, the Academy of Allergy Meeting in March, the experts seem to be moving towards down to the age even as young as four months."
Some researchers believe introducing the most allergenic foods to kids between four months and six months old can help prevent food allergies from developing.
John Luker, Cameron's dad says, "It makes sense to me in some ways, just so long as parents are prepared and know what to look for if something does cause a reaction. It's encouraging, so hopefully more kids don't have to live with what Cameron has lived through."
Kids like Cameron do have to keep Epi-pens with them in case there's an allergic reaction.
Cameron Luker says, "It's an injector which holds Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline and it sends the medicine and stab it in your leg. You use that to hold off the effects until you get to the hospital."
Cameron says he's always reading food labels and making sure he watches what he eats, making sure there is no cross contamination.
When asked what types of foods he'd love to try if he didn't have the allergy, he says, "Chocolate, anything chocolate, chocolate ice-cream, chocolate chip cookies."
It's also Peanut Allergy Awareness Night on Friday at the Bats game. Peanuts and other nut products will not be sold and the stadium has been cleaned to get rid of any peanut dust and residue.
