FAST FACTS HAWAII
Hawaiian's jets less full in March
Hawaiian Airlines said yesterday it filled a lower percentage of its seats in March after increasing its seating capacity 2.1 percent.
The figures don't include the additional flights that Hawaiian added earlier this month to aid stranded passengers in the wake of Aloha Airlines' March 31 shutdown of passenger operations.
The carrier's percentage of seats filled, or load factor, was 87.7 percent, down 3.3 percentage points from 91 percent in March 2007. The number of passengers traveling systemwide slipped 0.2 percent to 608,828 from 609,812.
Hawaiian's available seat miles, or its capacity measured by one seat transported one mile -- rose to 774.6 million from 758.4 million.
UPS cuts quarterly profit outlook
ATLANTA » United Parcel Service Inc., the world's largest shipping carrier, cut its first-quarter profit guidance yesterday, citing lower volume and higher fuel costs.
The company said it now expects earnings per share of 86 cents or 87 cents. Previously, the company said it expected first quarter profit between 94 cents and 98 cents per share. Analysts were expecting earnings of 93 cents per share.
The company said lower volume trends from February continued through March, making it impossible to meet its prior guidance.
Atlanta-based UPS said a shift away from premium products and higher fuel costs also contributed to the guidance cut.
Bill would make hybrids noisier
BALTIMORE » A bill intended to protect blind people and other pedestrians from the dangers posed by quiet cars will be introduced today in Congress.
The measure would require the Transportation Department to establish safety standards for hybrids and other vehicles that make little discernible noise, including an audible means for alerting people that cars are nearby.
"The beneficial trend toward more environmentally friendly vehicles has had the unintended effect of placing the blind and other pedestrians in danger," said Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., who's sponsoring the bill with Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla.
The bill would require the Transportation Department to conduct a two-year study before issuing safety standards. Automakers would than have two years to comply.
WaMu will post larger loss
SEATTLE » Washington Mutual Inc.
, hit hard by rising delinquencies and defaults on mortgages, said today it will receive $7 billion in new capital from an investment group led by private equity firm TPG Inc.
but will post a wider-than-expected loss for the first quarter.
The Seattle-based thrift said it will lose $1.1 billion during the first quarter and take a provision for loan losses of $3.5 billion -- $1.5 billion more than previously expected. Wall Street had forecast a loss of $344.3 million.
Separately, the country's largest savings and loan said it will get out of the wholesale lending business, close all remaining standalone home loan centers and lay off 3,000 workers.
Washington Mutual will sell equity securities to an investment fund managed by TPG Capital and to other investors in order to raise the funds.
New BOJ chief OK'd, deputy not
TOKYO » Japan's opposition-controlled upper house of parliament endorsed the Bank of Japan's acting chief, Masaaki Shirakawa, as its governor today , ending a power vacuum at the central bank's helm by approving the government's third candidate for the job.
However, the chamber rejected a former Finance Ministry bureaucrat as one of the central bank's deputy governors, prolonging a dispute that has turned into a major embarrassment for the scandal-battered administration of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda.
A stalemate over who should head the Bank of Japan had festered for weeks. Opposition lawmakers said two previous nominees were too politically connected. The five-year term of former Bank of Japan chief Toshihiko Fukui expired March 19.
Airbus SAS, the world's largest commercial planemaker, forecasts new orders will fall to 750 planes in 2008, the lowest in four years, because of tighter credit and higher fuel costs. Orders will probably slow from a record 1,341 planes last year, Chief Operating Officer John Leahy said.

Union Berlin beat Hertha Berlin 3-1 in the city derby to start their Bundesliga season with a satisfying win.
Union, fifth last season, ensured they retain bragging rights in the capital after beating Hertha three times, including in the German Cup last season.
Jordan Siebatcheu scored on his Bundesliga debut on Saturday, sending a chilling header past Hertha goalkeeper Oliver Christensen.
With Hertha posing no threat and leaving big gaps in their defence, Union struck again five minutes after the restart when Sheraldo Becker charged into the box and flicked the ball past Christensen.
The situation escalated further when Robin Knoche came on, subject to a VAR review.
Hertha scored in the 84th through Dodi Lukebakio to reduce the deficit.
Borussia Moenchengladbach also had a winning start to the season with a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim at 10 while Freiburg sacked four former hosts Augsburg.
Champions Bayern Munich kicked off the season on Friday with a sensational 6-1 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt.

Every now and then I come across some wisdom, and I hope I can remember it when the time comes. Today’s two bits of wisdom comes to you from a friend’s Facebook feed and a mailing list I’m a part of.
From a friend’s FB page: “Dr. Carmella’s Guide to Understanding the Introverted.” Now that I’m fully embracing the “I” in my INFP personality, I’m understanding myself a lot more. The best part of this infographic/illustration is the statement of how introverts gain their energy — rather than becoming energized from people interaction, introverts need time to recharge (mainly because we find interactions to be draining).
I also love the bit that says “interaction is just expensive and they don’t want to spend it on something annoying (read: wasteful).”
I’m starting to give myself more permission to say no to relationships and activities that I find to be annoying and/or wasteful. Maybe it’s because I’m finding myself more and more drained? I chose a career path that forces me to be out there with people for most of the time, so when I’m home (or on the weekends), my battery levels are dangerously low. I guess I don’t want to bother myself with people who aren’t edifying and are difficult to be with.
The other item I want to remember is from last week’s “happiness tip” from Dr. Christine Carter: Quit Something. I think this tip goes pretty much hand in hand with my earlier “avoid annoying, draining people” realization — I’m trying to get better about only being involved with activities that I love and find important. If I don’t have that driving passion or investment, I’m giving myself permission to quit.
Granted, there still tends to be a lot of activities I find worthwhile and want to be a part of — but I am trying to be more selective about where and what I do with my time.
So – quit annoying people and quit annoying activities. Check.
(sounds easy to type, but I’m sure my people-pleasing tendencies will betray me more often than not)

"Athena is known as the goddess of wisdom so an owl is the obvious choice to become the face of Athenas identity. The Goddess is always depicted carrying an owl—the owl was even used on monetary coins in the town of Athens which was named after her. This icon is also inspired by the stylized waves showing movement and motion which are found in ancient Greek motifs. It is a friendly yet bold mark that is clear and memorable."

DANA POINT – The Ocean Institute held its drawing Saturday for the eighth annual Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle, drawing a crowd of more than 500 people waiting to see if one had bought the lucky ticket.
Orange resident Derek Moore won the grand prize: a choice between $1 million in cash or a Laguna Beach home valued at $1 million. Moore was in the crowd when his name was drawn for the prize, something that has never happened before, raffle spokesman Jim Graves said.
The nonprofit fundraiser benefiting programs through Dana Point's Ocean Institute has each year grossed enough ticket sales to award the grand prize of a house or $1 million cash since the raffle's inception in 2005.
Buyers who purchased more than one ticket or referred a friend to buy a ticket won prizes including a Toyota Prius C, a two-night stay at the Montage Laguna Beach Resort, a dream vacation, an iPad and more.
All winners will be posted at www.ocean-institute.org/raffle/winners.html.

Ten years ago, I'd never have thought that an Open Source project could give me enough fuel to stay for such a long time. And although being part of it can require a lot of energy at times, it was certainly the friendly community which made me eventually quit my old job and dive into TYPO3 completely. Diversity and common value is what drives us ahead personally and in the end also TYPO3.
The TYPO3 project has always been a great place to be: many passionate enthusiasts willingly spending their spare time on sometimes tedious work; because we are proud of what the community can create and thrilled about the challenge to make it even better. Personally, this has always inspired me and let me in turn inspire others. That's what some of the "old boys" in the community identified as our common vision during a meeting in Kettrup Bjerge: Inspiring People to Share. Not a marketing claim, but rather a manifest we all could agree on.
So far so cosy. But TYPO3 has also always been a rough place to be. Most of us being not native English speakers learned communicating by email the hard way. Everybody soon realized that especially email is a quite misleading communication channel. A lot of very different characters contribute to TYPO3 and each of us has a certain vision of how things should be. This makes it a perfect breeding ground for misunderstanding and personal flame wars.
In the history of the core team we had several "bigger issues" between team members. And as far as I can see most of them could have been prevented. What we need to accept and be aware of all the time is that
- we are diverse, each of us has a different character, mentality and cultural background
- but we have common values and are part of the project because we love what we can achieve together
Although Kasper took an unbelievably big step in creating TYPO3, it was the community and the friendship among its members which made TYPO3 what it is today. It was the diversiveness of the community which brought the project ahead: we managed to put our different ideas together instead of living a my-idea-or-nothing mentality. It is the wisdom of the crowd which made TYPO3 a great CMS, not the wisdom of the crown alone.
Where many people, money and power are involved, there is always room for conspiracy. When Julle, Kasper and I first discussed the idea of creating a TYPO3 Foundation (at a McDonald's break on the way back from Amsterdam), we had never thought that this would also mean a lot of politics, justifcations and bureaucracy. The first years of the TYPO3 Association were hard because the TYPO3 community (including us founders) was unsure about what role the Association would take. Today the situation is much better because we managed to bring the T3A into a position we initially imagined for it: as a fundraiser for important community projects and a guardian of the TYPO3 brand.
We are also getting better at making the TYPO3 Association transparent. At the General Assembly last week members like Jochen Weiland asked several good and detailed questions about administration costs, budgets and marketing. And we could answer Jochen's questions with pointing to running or accomplished initiatives. Most people in the TYPO3 project highly value constructive criticism and I know from personal experiences and from conferences that TYPO3 is known for this openness even outside our community.
But conspiracy doesn't stop at the Association. Community members speculate that Kasper and me must be millionaires, the core team is an elite club who lets nobody in and the organizers of our conferences and snow board tours all drive Mercedes thanks to the expensive tickets. The awkward thing is that you, as the subject of such an affair, come to know about it as the last. You hear it through the grapevine and it is always highly emotional and cumbersome to solve.
One way to tackle this is better communication and more transparency. But that's only half of the truth because often I heard myself saying "hey, we posted it on the front page on typo3.org" but the message still missed the recipient (should have posted that on Facebook). I think that the real solution is only a deeper understanding and more considerate communication. We need to be team players and at times cut back our own interests in favor of a viable compromise. We should receive all messages in the most positive manner and not allege that someone is doing us deliberately harm. We should accept that people are different, have different opinions and ways to communicate, but in the end we're striving for a friendly community and a great piece of software.
In that sense I wish that whoever currently feels harmed by me or someone else in the community takes a deep breath and considers if that is really the case or be done on purpose. And then: talk to eachother.
It takes all kinds to build a world.

In its Judgment File No. 22 Cdo 2979/2018 dated 27 March 2019, the Czech Supreme Court commented on the right of preemption between owners of lands and buildings. If a joint-ownership share in a land lot or in a building built on such land lot is transferred, unless the acquisition of such share by the owner of the land lot would result in unification of the title to both the land lot and the building, the owners cannot exercise the preemption right as defined in Section 3056(1) CC.
According to the Supreme Court, Section 3056(1) is an exception from the principle of free will, which cannot be interpreted extensively, provided that the rule does not specify that it should be applied to transfer of joint-ownership shares. This means that the rule can only be applied to scenarios where exercising of the right results in unification of the legal title to both the land lot and the building thereupon built, merging both to become a single object in the legal sense – i.e., a land lot, a dependent part of which is the building. This happens especially when the whole building or the whole land lot is transferred. Another possibility is a transfer of a joint-ownership share, which results in the unification of title to the land lot and the building built there.


New Chillicothe elementary buildings beginning to take shape
CHILLICOTHE - Andy Rogers is very conscious of where he wants construction on Chillicothe's two new grade-banded elementary schools to be before the temperature dips significantly and the snow begins to fly.
"The theme with both buildings, you'll find out, is we're really pushing to try and get as many areas under roof as we can before winter hits," said Rogers, of Summit Construction/Resource International. "So our masons have been working around the clock really doing a good job for us, and I feel really good about where we're at."
At the site of the preschool through second grade building at Cherry and Mill streets, bearing walls have started going up on the three-story academic wing in preparation for a steel delivery expected next week. At the building that will house grades three through six at Arch and Vine streets, bearing walls on the two-story academic wing also have started going up.
“Our steel date for that building is late September," Rogers said. "It’s taking a little longer because it’s a little more square footage (than the other building), but we’re progressing nicely. Things are coming out of the ground and I think you'll start seeing it take shape now, so we're happy about that."
The construction timeline is something that will be watched carefully by the district because it will impact decisions that have to be made regarding the 2018-19 school year. The ideal situation would be to have both buildings ready for students to move in at the start of the next school year, and while those involved with the project believe that will be very likely for the pre-K through 2 building, there is a little more uncertainty surrounding the other structure.
"As we go through this year, we're going to see where we are as far as the progress of the 3-6 (building) by about the first of January to determine at what point we would likely be able to move," Superintendent Jon Saxton said last week. "We're trying to push them to get ahead, and they are ahead — on the 3-6 they're really doing well — so the best-case scenario would be to open up both schools next September.
"By the end of December, we should have a pretty good idea (whether that will be possible). Weather is the key factor, but for them to be ahead with the wet summer we had, I'm pleased."
The district administration and representatives from its teachers' association are being pulled together on a transition team to "discuss some of those 'have you thought of's,' 'what if' kinds of questions as we prepare for the move," Saxton said. One of those what ifs may involve what to do at the start of the year with grades three through six if that building isn't quite ready.
During Monday's Board of Education meeting, Saxton and the board decided not to have a discussion yet about determining what the official names of the two new buildings will be. Saxton expressed a desire to have those discussions and come to a decision sometime over the new few months.
As the construction process moves forward, principals of each building in the district took a couple minutes at Monday's meeting to discuss their plans for the year. Many of the elementary buildings are linking their theme for the year to students being in the last classes to attend those structures before the move.
Most of the principals detailed how they would be implementing district equity and Respect 2.0 initiatives, building relationships between staff and students and implementing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) initiatives. Aaron Brown, principal at Mt. Logan Elementary which is hosting STEM Academy programming for students from all the elementaries, said the first day of the program involving Worthington students offered a successful glimpse of the year to come.
The board also received an update from Debbie Bettendorf, who has been heading up marketing efforts for the district's Keys to Success program. She noted a successful start to marketing and fundraising efforts, including the sale of large packages to six local businesses for advertising on the video display board at the Obadiah Harris Athletic Complex and a solid participation from area businesses advertising in athletic programs.
That, coupled with fundraising activities, has resulted in about $25,000 raised over a four-week period. Students are helping as well, whether through concessions at football games to earn funds from the Touchdown Club or helping through the school's broadcast program in ad creation and other tasks. A college intern also is helping with graphic design tasks such as putting together an informational brochure that can quickly educate on the program and designing a new program logo.
Thus far, the district has 154 students signed up for the program as of the first day paperwork could be turned in, with hopes that the number for combined Keys to Success and My Attitude Determines Everything drug-free clubs participation climbs to around 500.

India is interested in hosting the 2036 Olympic Games, the country’s prime minister Narendra Modi has said.
In a speech at the opening ceremony of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) session in Mumbai, Modi said India “will leave no stone unturned” in efforts to secure the showpiece.
The country has never staged the Olympics, but the 2010 Commonwealth Games were in Delhi.
Modi said hosting the Games is “the age-old dream” for India.
“We want to realise this dream with your collaboration and support. I am confident that India will get the support of the IOC,” he told the committee.
Modi also said India would look to host the Youth Olympics in 2029.
“Sport is not just about winning medals but also winning hearts,” he added.
Mexico and Indonesia have officially expressed interest in hosting the 2036 Olympics, and in September Poland president Andrzej Duda said his country was also hopeful of staging the event.
Poland has never hosted an Olympic Games, summer or winter.
Paris will host the 2024 Olympics, with Los Angeles staging the Games in 2028 and Brisbane in 2032.

Caring for a Child With Cerebral Palsy
Signs of Cerebral Palsy continued...
Early signs of cerebral palsy include:
- Developmental delay: An infant with cerebral palsy may not learn to sit or walk or reach other developmental milestones at the appropriate age.
- Abnormal muscle tone: The infant's body typically seems very stiff, though it may appear overly relaxed and floppy.
- Unusual posture or body position
Very fidgety babies with excessive colic and sleep disorders may also be at risk, although in many cases these may be normal phases. Parents often know when they become abnormally persistent and part of the bigger picture and take this concern further by consulting their doctor.
Other signs may include:
- Dragging one foot or favoring one arm -- features which show uneven muscle function
- Lots of drooling or trouble sucking, swallowing, or talking
If your child shows any of these signs, you should consult your child's doctor.
Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy
Anyone can have a child with cerebral palsy, but certain conditions put your infant at higher risk:
- Exposure to infection or toxins during pregnancy
- Circulation problems in the mother during pregnancy
- Incompatible rhesus blood factors (the + or - associated with blood type)
- Low birth weight or prematurity
- Multiple births -- for example giving birth to twins or triplets
- Breech birth or other childbirth complications
- Severe, untreated newbornjaundice
Treatment for Children with Cerebral Palsy
There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but early intervention can measurably improve your child's ability to manage the condition. Treatment options for children with cerebral palsy include:
Physical therapy to help improve strength, flexibility, and balance
- Occupational therapy to help with fine motor and self-care skills
- Speech therapy to help improve communication, and possibly feeding and swallowing
- Hearing, vision, and other assistance devices
- Orthotic devices to improve balance and mobility
Medication to prevent pain or seizures, or to relax muscles
- Surgery to improve severe cases of deformity or spasticity
- Counseling for behavior or adjustment issues
Social services can be invaluable in offering support for the child, family, and caregivers, and to offer respite when needed.
Visiting nurse services can help put together packages of care as required, and they can help parents access and coordinate services when needed.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating a child with cerebral palsy. Each individual will have different symptoms, abilities, and needs. Be proactive in making sure your child gets the help and support he or she needs. Whether symptoms are mild or severe, your child deserves support to reach his or her maximum potential.

J. Berry has two new rising stars joining the cast of Hollywood Hibiscus characters in 2020: Disco Diva and Trophy Wife.
Disco Diva likes to be the center of attention and she gets it by flashing bloom after bloom of orange and fuchsia ruffled flowers on the dance floor. Trophy Wife doesn’t play second fiddle to anyone with her tricolor blooms with deep pink centers and delicate ruffled pink petals.
“The Hollywood Hibiscus collection is expanding rapidly because it delivers on the promise of being G Rated – Grower and Gardener friendly. The plants are easy for the grower to produce, with lower labor and chemical costs compared to the traditional tropical hibiscus varieties. From the gardener’s perspective, Hollywood Hibiscus are low maintenance, bloom spring through fall and have vivid flowers that last for three days with new ones opening daily,” says Jonathan Berry, Owner and Vice President of J. Berry.
Coming attraction from Jim Berry Breeding
This spring attendees can catch a glimpse of Disco Diva and Trophy Wife at the California Spring Trials. J. Berry will exhibit at Windmill Nursery, so plan now to make Buellton a stop on your California tour route.
J. Berry will provide a sneak preview of their new releases for 2021 at CAST.
To ensure only the best varieties are in the collection, J. Berry is strategically narrowing down the amount of Hollywood Hibiscus varieties to a core of about 12-15 winners, while bringing in 1-2 new and improved varieties each year.
Hollywood Hibiscus breeder and J. Berry President, Jim Berry explains, “We have been improving tropical hibiscus by conventional plant breeding hybridization over the last 10 years. Our accomplishments of achieving bacterial leaf spot immunity and white fly resistance saves growers money by reducing their need to use pesticides."
"The foliage and branching of the plants are just as important as the very high bud count, flower beauty and durability," he continues. "Most growers have eliminated the use of plant growth regulators because the Hollywood Hibiscus varieties are naturally compact, self-branching with high bud and bloom counts."
"I see selections in our breeding program that will be designed for various container sizes, selections for different forms, and selections adapted to various climatic conditions for different production environments around the world. A recent breeding break thru will double and triple the flower power of tropical hibiscus very soon.”
Additionally, Jim and the J. Berry team are working on quart-friendly varieties that will benefit greenhouse growers, allowing them to get an additional crop turn in their growing houses in the summer when hibiscus from the South Florida Growers run out.
Hollywood Hibiscus around the globe
As consumer demand for Hollywood Hibiscus continues to grow, J. Berry is adding to their grower network. Vera’s Nursery, Velez Nursery, Topiary Creations, Floral Acres and Hydra Point Growers are amongst the newest Hollywood Hibiscus producers.
The presence of Hollywood Hibiscus on a global scale is increasing as well with international partners now located in Europe, India, China, South Africa, Japan and Australia.

Penn State President Eric Barron held a virtual town hall at 3 p.m. on Monday to discuss racism and bias at the university and to address the future actions detailed in an email he sent on June 10.
Accompanying Barron for the town hall were three members of the Select Penn State Presidential Commission on Racism, Bias and Community Safety — Dean in the Dickinson College of Law Danielle Conway, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Clarence Lang and chair of the University Faculty Senate Elizabeth Seymour.
Vice provost for educational equity Marcus Whitehurst and Penn State Board of Trustees member Brandon Short also joined the meeting to discuss student inequalities and the steps that should be taken to eliminate systemic racism at the university.
Barron began the town hall by announcing a $50,000 endowment to the George Floyd Memorial Scholarship in Educational Equity and an additional $50,000 to the Osaze Osagie Memorial Scholarship for Educational Equity.
The university will also match funds for diversity and equity scholarships, promising $10 million as an incentive to donors.
After each individual on the call discussed their involvement in Penn State's pursuit of racial equity, Barron asked them to describe what needs to be done in order to reach university goals.
On June 14, Penn State announced that students will return to in-person instruction in the f…
Lang said he believes disrupting the idea of tradition and thinking creatively are important to discovering how Penn State can be made a more equal, inclusive and diverse institution. Conway said the university needs to invest in systemic anti-racism to reverse racial inequality.
Seymour highlighted actions she and the University Faculty Senate have been working on in recent weeks, including rethinking the way teaching is assessed at Penn State, considering diversity training for faculty, reviewing policies regarding social and racial justice, redefining current curricular requirements for racial justice and supporting the student code of conduct task force.
Seymour added that the senate will look into each of the issues students, faculty and staff have faced as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Short said the Board of Trustees is working to restructure its organization and its bylaws to create a committee that will address issues of diversity and inclusion on a long-term basis at the university level.
Another goal of the board is to diversify both its membership and the Penn State student population. Short said the board has debated setting a quota of diverse staff for itself, as well as a date by which the percentage would be achieved.
Whitehurst said that he, in collaboration with the Penn State Alumni Association, will be hosting a three-part virtual roundtable entitled “Toward Racial Equity at Penn State: Social Difference, Social Equity and Social Change.”
Penn State President Eric Barron announced Friday that a virtual town hall event on race, bi…
The first roundtable will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday at https://www.watch.psu.edu/toward-racial-equity/. The other two installments will take place at 6 p.m. on September 8 and November 5 of this year.
Barron ended the town hall by encouraging all members of the Penn State community to speak out about racial equity and share any suggestions for future action with the Select Commission.

MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - Affecting the babies and the older horses the most, a bacterial infection known as "Strangles" has been found in 12 Salt River wild horses, just five percent of the herd.
It’s a strain of Streptococcus bacteria. People can’t contract it, but it is very contagious among horses.
Symptoms include lesions under the neck by their cheeks, fever, and even trouble swallowing and breathing, which is why it's called strangles.
In rare cases it can be deadly.
"Maybe an asymptomatic domestic horse came here and people didn’t know it, so it got introduced to the herd,” said Simone Netherlands with the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group.
Of those 12 horses, five have already recovered. The other 95 percent of the heard all appear healthy and unaffected.
Thursday the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group posted signs in the area, warning people who bring their own horses there to ride.
"But it does have the potential to turn into an outbreak, so that's why we want to be very careful. And we really want to warn horseback riders that, 'Hey if you want to be on the safe side it's probably better to go ride somewhere other than at the lower salt river right now," said Netherlands.
People can also carry it with them on their clothes and shoes, potentially passing it on to their horses at home.
“Of course, we are very worried, so we are keeping a really close eye on it,” said Netherlands.
The signs will stay up until they can confirm all the horses have recovered from the illness.
Netherlands says they are continuing with their birth control program, which began earlier this year.
In January, we tagged along with the SRWHMG as they used dart guns to dose female horses with birth control.
Netherlands says they’ve now successfully treated nearly all of the mares. She says in the next ten years, the program would have helped humanely reduce herd size from 400 to 200.

Erik LOTICHIUS (1929 - 2015)
Ralph van Raat (piano)
rec. 2016, Reitstadl, Neumarkt i.d. Oberpfalz
SOLAIRE RECORDS SOL1005 [2CDs: 118:49]
This collection of pieces, Anaitalrax, is described as “25 virtuosic piano studies… in the spirit and mood of Domenico Scarlatti.” The Solaire label can be counted on for extensive and well-written booklet notes and this is no exception, with commentary and anecdote from the composer's wife, by pianist Ralph van Raat, and an extensive essay by Tobias Fischer. Erik Lotichius is by no means a household name even in the Netherlands. His music was largely ignored during times when the avant-garde was in the cultural driving seat and conventional tonality was viewed by many as a capital sin, but later life saw a sea-change in his career. A number of titles on the Brilliant Classics label provide further listening (review).
Lotichius started out with ambitions as a pianist, and the pieces in this recording are infused with influences from the past. Bartók is highly significant in this regard, and the stylistic use of jazz combined with a deeply honed quality of classical craftsmanship results in work that is at the same time instantly accessible and 'familiar', while projecting freshness and a stimulating amount of the unexpected.
There is a Romantic foundation here too, though this never relapses into easy sentimentality. There are few if any 'earworm' melodies, though there is no shortage of lyricism. The question is put as to whether Lotichius was a man out of his time, but this should really be more of a statement on the lines of Lotichius as a composer who refused to conform to trends or 'isms'. The use of jazz rhythms and chords arise as essential tools of expression, as do some minimalist passages and those dissonances that integrated Bartók's use of folk music into his own sphere of sophistication. The jazz and dance music touches in something like No. 7 are those that one encounters in a composer like Martinů: put to the service of a composer with serious intent, but also one with a 'twinkle in his eyes.' Minimalist passages emerge as sequences but are not repeated and developed in a minimalist fashion. Lotichius was aware of American composers in this genre, but it is more his fellow Dutchman Simeon ten Holt whose colours shine through onto the scores like occasional moments spotlit through a stained-glass window. You can trace a more expansive adventurousness in this regard with the later pieces. All of these are titled only with their tempo indication, and some have an additional dedication to someone significant in Lotichius's life. The umbrella title Anaitalrax is part of a series of names whose enigmatic appearance is reduced when read backwards.
The genesis of the Anaitalrax studies goes way back to Lotichius's first significant piano lessons, and a love for Scarlatti ignited by a demonstration by his teacher Wouter van der Berg. Scarlatti is a kind of starting point, a springboard for works that are by no means in imitation of his style, the "spirit and mood" being that of free and vivacious invention within chosen frameworks, and certainly a vehicle for expression that developed and changed after its initial impetus. Composed over a 30 year period and with none of the pressures of commissioned work, these pieces are "playful and explorative, profound yet humorous... we don't hear the most personal emotions nor the most complex compositional concepts of the composer. What we do hear is the full range of his passions, the sum and total of his influences and his entirely recognisable way of making them his own."
Ralph van Raat originally recorded some of Anaitalrax in 2001, and his affinity with these pieces leaps out of your speakers from the start. His virtuosity is unclouded by haste and uncalled for extremes of display, and the music has more than enough content to speak for itself. In the booklet, producer Dirk Fischer talks us through the interesting challenge of setting up a recording of music that has little or no performance tradition, but van Raat's colourful playing is captured superbly and the whole thing is yet another demonstration-class production, fully in agreement with Fischer's final philosophy that, in the end, it is the music that counts above all technical considerations.
...and in the end, Erik Lotichius's music is the kind of thing about which it is better to just listen rather than to talk endlessly. I think you'll rather enjoy it.

Immigrants Practice English At This Miami-Dade Library
The second floor of the Miami-Dade County Library in downtown Miami buzzes with conversation. It's a space where talking is encouraged.
Eight people seated around a table are discussing the day’s news. Min Shaheen, a librarian, brings up the Trump administration’s plans to end a deal between Major League Baseball and Cuba.
“What’s the take of the potential players?” Shaheen asks Carlos Fernandez, who moved to South Florida from Cuba three years ago.
“They think it’s a good deal, but they’re also on an island exploited by the government. You’re totally ignorant about how the world works,” he says.
The others around the table, who come from Brazil, Russia and Japan, continue the conversation. They come regularly to the library to practice English.
Libraries across South Florida and the country are reflecting on ways to stay relevant. As they celebrate National Libraries Week, these changing public institutions are considering their value in today’s society — how they’re evolving from the perception that they just store physical books, audiobooks and e-books.
The conversation circle in Miami's main branch goes a step further, serving as an impromptu “America 101” class for recently arrived immigrants.
At Tuesday’s conversation, Chika Kihara, 24, arrived a little later. She hadn’t been coming the last few weeks because of allergy problems, the moderator Shaheen told the group.
“Do you have insurance? Have you chosen a primary doctor?” Shaheen asked.
“No, I don’t know how to choose them. It’s totally different from my country,” said Kihara, who moved to Miami from Japan six months ago because of her husband’s job.
Shaheen briefly explains how health insurance works in the U.S. She weaves in cultural lessons so the group experiences language in action.
“It’s not just a conversation. It’s a way for them to learn from each other,” she said.
Shaheen also aims to introduce people to U.S. current events while tying them into news that speaks to participants’ home countries. The conversation about the MLB-Cuba deal eventually turned to one about soccer in Europe and hockey in Russia.
Shaheen, 55, who’s originally from China, earned degrees in English and Spanish. Her supervisor asked her to run the conversation circle when it started nearly three years ago.
She admits that at first, she wasn’t enthusiastic about joining but has found the effort rewarding – especially when she sees improvement over several weeks.
“When some of the participants from the past, when they decided to go take formal classes to improve their writing and reading, I thought that’s pretty good. It’s almost like they’re graduating,” she said.
The circle’s core members meet at the library almost religiously each week. They also get together outside the library, suggest other English classes, chat in a What’s App group and bring food when a longstanding member leaves or gets hired.
Kihara, who recently started a temp job in translation, said she started coming to the circle three months ago to make friends and find community.
“It’s a really good place for me to have connection with other people. It helps me a lot for my mental health,” she said.
It’s not just a conversation. It’s a way for them to learn from each other. - Min Shaheen
Fernandez, who was talking about the MLB-Cuba deal, treks from Fort Lauderdale to join the circle. The 29-year-old heard about it from a fellow participant who goes to another free conversation group run out of a private language school in Brickell.
Formal private English classes can be expensive. One participant said he’s seen $35 an hour. Others have taken courses at Miami-Dade College, where $118 per credit is considered a bargain compared to nearby public four-year universities.
Fernandez, who makes a living at Starbucks and driving for Uber and Lyft, said he prefers coming to the library’s circle because he says he can speak more freely with the other participants and not just with whomever is running the group.
It has some symbolic significance for him. He left Cuba because he was looking for freedom from the island’s communist government.
“I wanna be free. I wanna travel the world. I wanna grow up by myself, for my own opportunities. I don’t want anybody to tell me, ‘You can’t do that. You can’t think differently,’” he said.
At Tuesday’s class, Shaheen taught the group a new phrase – “bucket list.”
“It’s a list of things you want to do before you depart from this world,” she said amid some awkward laughter.
“Mine is complicated,” Fernandez said. “I want to go to so many places. I wanna travel anywhere.”
At this library, it can feel like you've already circled the globe.

I consider this progress. The left’s standard position is that no man, sex-starved or otherwise, is entitled to help set policy on abortion.
Congrats to the bros who are getting laid regularly on their new role in this wrenching debate.
As for the rest of us, for the record: We’re not “sex-starved, ” we’re sex-peckish.
A weird thing about this clip is that Rob Woodall, the Republican congressman who interrupted her, actually did her a favor of sorts by doing so. If she hadn’t retracted, the House could have gagged her for the rest of the afternoon. Then we’d have to wade through a flood of terrible lefty thinkpieces tomorrow about Norma Torres being silenced for speaking feminist truth to patriarchal power, etc etc.
So, really, Rob Woodall did us all a favor:
Her remarks triggered audible outrage — and numerous calls for a point of order — from the Republican side of the chamber. But longtime Rules Committee member Rob Woodall, R-Ga., got the presiding officer’s attention first and gave his Rules Committee colleague a chance to, shall we say, clarify her words…
Torres at that point could have been at risk of being silenced for the entire day, as Republicans could have requested striking her words from the record. A day of silence is part of the consequence if the words are “ruled out of order,” according to the Congressional Research Service.
But Woodall kept requests from other members at bay, and allowed Torres to again propose withdrawing her statement — this time without the inflammatory commentary about GOP colleagues. Torres then rephrased her views.
Why’d she cuck out and withdraw what she said right after saying it? All she had to do to become a viral sensation and overnight star among online lefty idiots was to double down and show defiance. Silencing her for being “out of order” would have been the icing on the cake of her new hero-martyr status in progressive media for the next 24 hours. This was a missed opportunity for five minutes of free airtime on the Rachel Maddow Show.
Anyway, for the record, Republicans have better sex lives than Democrats. Although that’s probably due to marital status: Democrats have more singles than Republicans do, singles are stuck going without sex periodically, ergo GOPers are less likely to be “sex-starved.”
Dem. Rep. Norma Torres: “Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a women's right to choose.” pic.twitter.com/A6ZJKHoPxP
