A casino online is a type of online gambling where players can play games for real money. These games are available to people in many countries and can be played by using the internet or a mobile device. The internet allows people to enjoy gambling without leaving their home, and it is becoming increasingly popular.
The best casinos online feature a wide variety of games and accept different banking methods to ensure players have access to a full range of options. They also offer secure deposit and withdrawal options, so players can rest assured that their money is safe.
Choosing the right casino is important to help you maximize your winnings and experience. You need to find an online casino that is licensed and regulated by a respected jurisdiction. This will make sure that your money is protected and that the gaming platform is fair and honest.
Before you sign up for an online casino, it is important to know which games are offered and how they work. Some of the most popular online casino games include slots, blackjack, roulette and poker.
Some of these games can be played for fun, while others require a bit of thought and skill. If you’re looking to get a feel for the game, it is worth playing a few free games before you invest any money.
In addition, you should consider the quality of the software that powers an online casino. The software should be reliable and have a high quality visual design. It should also have a large selection of games and allow for a smooth gaming experience.
The casino should also offer customer support to players around the clock. It should be easy to find contact information on its website, and it should also have live chat options so that you can talk to an expert in real time.
It should also have a large variety of game types and have a great selection of bonuses and promotions. These can include welcome and reload bonuses, free spins and loyalty programs.
Most of the online casino games are made by third-party software companies who rent their game titles to the casinos. This prevents the casino from rigging the games and means that the casinos are forced to produce high-quality, fair games.
This is a very important factor for many players and is the reason why we only recommend reputable online casinos with a solid reputation. These are often accredited by prestigious industry bodies and have been subjected to random testing.
You should also look for an online casino that accepts your preferred payment method. This is a good way to avoid delays and transaction fees when you withdraw your winnings.
Another important factor is the security of your personal details. Most online casinos use encryption technology to protect your data and your account information. They also have a number of measures to keep your information safe, such as firewalls and password-protected accounts.

It was just a few weeks ago that many states that had been in lockdown for months lifted the restraints and began to try and get the country back up and running. However, as the process moved along, it appeared that new epicenters of the pandemic have been rearing their ugly heads. This time around, the hotspots spread from the west to the east, from sea to shining sea.
In an effort to keep on top of the pandemic, the Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI) has developed an interactive map. With this mapping system, the institute has designated one of four possible color distinctions as to indicate a state’s risk for COVID-19.
- Green—indicating that the state is on track for containmentYellow—indicating there is still the presence of a chance of community spreadOrange—indicating that the virus is showing an accelerated rate of spreadRed—indicating a tipping point of high risk
Once a community has been determined to have reached the red level, this is when the mandate of stay-at-home orders will become once again necessary.
Just last week, the HGHI tweeted the statement: “data on COVID in our nation is very concerning,” as the institute saw the states with the red level were showing some troubling numbers. A representative for the HGHI, Ashish Jha, stated he didn’t know what would turn the numbers around, short of a “fully enforced mask order.”
There is also the feeling that mandates need put back into place, requiring the closing of such public places as bars, clubs, restaurants, and any businesses not deemed essential, as was once done a few months back.
With all this said, the seven states seen as being on a head-on collision resulting in a complete shutdown are: Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, and Alabama.
Even though these states are believed to be hotspots for the virus, they are not the only ones. However, they are the ones that are showing the most significant increase in cases of COVID-19 reports. Some believe this is due to increased testing, while others believe the numbers are somewhat exaggerated.
No matter the case, it is pretty much a given that they will be in full lockdown sooner, rather than later, if the numbers keep going up, and not down.
Are we headed for another national shut down due to reports of rising numbers?

Throwback to when we found out Yash Chopra envisioned the movie Veer Zaara with actress Nadia Jamil in mind
Actress Nadia Jamil revealed that the famous director initially offered Rani Mukherji's role in Veer Zaara to her.
Pakistani audiences recognize Nadia Jamil as one of the finest actors of her generation, and recently the actress made headlines for successfully battling cancer.
In a recent interview, it was revealed that even Bollywood praises Nadia Jamil for her exceptional acting talent.
The news came to light when Samina Peerzada invited Nadia Jamil to her show for an interview. During the show, Nadia Jamil revealed that her talent caught the attention of legendary Bollywood director Yash Chopra.
Actress Nadia Jamil revealed that the famous director initially offered Rani Mukherji’s role in Veer Zaara to her. According to details, Yash Chopra had envisioned the project initially with Aishwarya Rai as Zaara, Nadia Jamil as Saamiya, and Shah Rukh Khan as Veer.
Watch the full interview here:
While speaking to Samina Peerzada, Nadia Jamil said:
I was in talks for the film with Yash Chopra but couldn’t do the film as I had to take care of my child. The talks even went on till my son became 2 months of age. I still stand by my decision of not doing the film despite the role being very pivotal and strong in the narrative.
Speaking of acting, Nadia Jamil mentioned:
I couldn’t work as much as I wanted as an artist in my career because of my health issues since I was battling multiple diseases.
It is pertinent to mention that the role of Saamiya in the movie Veer Zaara featured a Pakistani lawyer who helped the protagonist (Veer) with his case.
The Bollywood film Veer Zaara was released on Diwali in 2004 with a stellar cast featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Rani Mukherjee and became a record success worldwide.
As for Actress Nadia Jamil, she revealed that she might have lost out on the film but earned a lifelong friendship with Yash Chopra and his family; she holds them very dear to herself.

The Indian economy grew at 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2015-'16, according to data released by the Central Statistics Office. This was primarily because the manufacturing and farming sectors grew at 9.3% and 2.3%, respectively, in the fourth quarter. The overall GDP growth, thus, rose to a five-year high of 7.6% in the fiscal, reported PTI.
For the year 2015-'16, the CSO also revised the first quarter growth to 7.5% from 7.6%, the second quarter growth to 7.6% from 7.7% and the third quarter growth to 7.2% from 7.3%. In contrast, China's growth rate slipped to 6.7% in the first quarter of 2016, which is the slowest rate posted by the country in seven years, reported The Indian Express.

Trump asks South Korea to deliver birthday message to Kim Jong Un
(CNN) -- President Donald Trump has asked South Korea to send a birthday message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a South Korean official said Friday.
South Korea's Director of the National Security Office, Chung Eui-yong, informed reporters of Trump's request at Incheon Airport on Friday. Chung was returning from a visit to Washington where he briefly met with Trump on Wednesday -- Kim's birthday.
"President Trump remembered, and as he said well-wishing remarks about Chairman Kim Jong Un's birthday, he requested that it'd be good if President Moon can deliver that message to Chairman Kim Jong Un," Chung said. "As far as I know, such message has been delivered to the North in an appropriate way."
Trump has attempted to nurture a personal relationship with Kim as a way of breaking the stalemate over North Korea's nuclear program. But despite occasional outreaches to each other, Kim said there "will never" be denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula if the US "persists in its hostile policy towards" North Korea, and indicated that his country could soon resume nuclear weapon testing.
Trump's birthday message this week is not the first instance of such a greeting between the two leaders. In June, Trump touted receiving "a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un" -- the first since their February summit in Hanoi, from which both leaders left empty-handed after stalled denuclearization talks.
An administration official described that letter as a "birthday greeting." Trump's birthday was later that week, and the official said at the time that Kim wished the President good health.

When a racing team funded by an energy drink maker and one of the world's most premier luxury performance carmakers come together on a project, the result can be pretty stunning.
Aston Martin and Formula 1 team Red Bull Racing unveiled Tuesday morning the result of a joint venture to create the world's latest and greatest hypercar. It's called the AM-RB-001 and though it's lacking a dynamic nameplate, its body, engine and lineage easily make up for it.
If you're wondering just exactly what a hypercar is, let me explain. The hierarchy of performance cars goes: sports car, supercar and hypercar, from least to most. Sports cars are quick but accessible both in performance and price -- think Mazda Miata. Supercars like the Lamborghini Huracán are faster and wilder still and carry price tags around $180,000 and above.
Then at the very top, where few cars lie, are hypercars like the Lamborghini Centenario, which are available only to the super rich. That's because they can cost as much as a large villa -- the AM-RB-001 is speculated to cost $3 million (a figure Aston Martin won't confirm, but a representative did note it was a "reasonable" estimate) -- and accelerate faster than, say, a speeding bullet (not really, but you get what I mean).
Although they've unveiled the car, Aston and Red Bull are still being rather cagey about the AM-RB-001's performance specs. They have said, however, it is powered by a new V12 engine and will have seats for two occupants.
They've also divulged that production will run somewhere between 99 and 150 cars. What's more, both road-legal and track-only versions will be built. Given that tidbit, I wager the one we're looking at here is the track-only car since it doesn't have sideview mirrors. Nevertheless, I am sure the road-going version will be equally impressive.
Speaking of its looks, I can't help but feel the AM-RB-001 is what an alien might build, if pressed to design a terrestrial transportation machine. It doesn't look mean or sharp like a Lamborghini but more like an alien water bug that might lure you into its lair before turning your bones into gelatin.
That is to say, it still looks fearsome like a hypercar should, just not in the traditional sense.
Regardless of my interpretation of its exterior design, soak up its aerodynamic lines and otherworldly features now because you'll probably never see one in the wild.

This system is used for leakage detection of dual piping systems (over- and underground) and dual tanks.
It consists of leakage sensors as well as a display- and tracking system. A distinction is drawn between selective and non-selective leakage warning systems. With a selective leakage warning system it is possible to control up to 99 different sections, the number of the active sensor can be determined exactly in case of alarm. With the non-selective system you can control 9 sections, in case of alarm the position of the sensor will not be indicated.

In 1990 we were preparing the southernmost half of Hammer Olsen's pasture for a vineyard which we initially had planned to plant entirely to Pinot Noir. It's a gently sloping field with Pinole gravelly loam soil, but when we actually cultivated the soil in the lower corner of the field we discovered it contained a lot of clay. Our fondest association with clay based soils occurred in France one summer when we were visiting a young winemaker who had once interned at Navarro. We recalled slipping, sliding and giggling down a rain-soaked clay hillside vineyard in Beaumes-de-Venise; the rain made the clay surface slippery or perhaps it was how much delicious Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise we had consumed at lunch. We knew that Muscat was also grown in Alsace, so in a moment of brilliance, or perhaps foolhardiness, we decided to plant Muscat in this clay-laced block. The wine grapes that have been most successful in Anderson Valley are varieties the French have classified as époque 1 (early) ripening. We managed to overlook the fact that Muscat à petits grains blanc is an époque 2 ripener, consequently Muscat grapes ripen very late in our maritime climate, accentuating the effect of vintage.
The morning tastings are always fun when we're blending Muscat.
Bins of Muscat Blanc. There are over 200 distinct grapevine varieties grown in many wine regions named Muscat or Muscat-something. The grapes grown at Navarro are Muscat à petits grains blanc, an aromatic small-berried variety that has been cultivated around the Mediterranean for centuries. The first mention of this variety was in 1304, in Italy, under the Latin name Muscatellus.
Summer and fall were cool in Anderson Valley in 2011, so when the grapes were physiologically ripe, they had lower sugars than usual, but with balanced acidity. The wine's low alcohol, bone-dry finish and orange-like flavors make it a perfect match for grilled springtime veggies or a bowl of spicy jambalaya. Silver Medal winner.

The federal government has scrapped Labor's plan to introduce a bank deposit tax that would have raised about $1.5 billion over the next four years.
The abandoned tax, which was proposed by the former Labor government, was designed to protect depositors in the event that an Australian bank collapsed.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said yesterday afternoon that "Labor's bank deposit tax is dead".
"The last way to make our banks strong, the last way to protect depositors, is to hit banks with more taxes. That's the Labor way. It's not the Coalition's way," Mr Abbott said.
Treasurer Joe Hockey said the banks have recognised that they must increase their capital, therefore going through with the levy would only harm depositors.
"Now is exactly the wrong time to apply such a tax to bank accounts, when people are receiving lower returns than they may have expected in the past," Mr Hockey said.
The tax would have applied a 0.05 per cent tax on all bank accounts with deposits of up to $250,000 from the start of next year.
The Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) has come out in support of the government's decision to abandon the tax.
COBA chief executive Mark Degotardi said: "The government's decision is pro-consumer and pro-competition."
"The decision supports the more competitive and resilient financial system recommended by the independent Financial System Inquiry.
"[Yesterday's] announcement is significant for savers and the customer-owned banking sector. It shows the government is committed to good policy and a competitive and resilient financial system," he said.
The Centre for International Finance and Regulation (CIFR) previously criticised the tax, arguing that it would be ineffective.
Andy Schmulow, CIFR researcher, said: “If Australian depositors are protected as preferential creditors by law (which they are), and if, at current capital adequacy levels, no Australian bank would be unable to refund domestic depositors, then the obvious question is why do we need this levy?”
Dr Schmulow pointed out that the Banking Act 1959 protects Australian depositors by stating that in the event of a collapse, the bank is required to reimburse Australian depositors before settling claims by international creditors or offshore depositors.
CIFR also voiced concerns that the funds raised and subsequently held in a Financial Stability Fund (FSF) would take years to mature and be able to be used as a bailout fund.

Ok, so this is one I finished in time for our winter but I only just got around to taking some photos. My inspiration was the Burberry Prorsum spring 2010 collection. I just loved all the ruffles and pastel colours. My favourite was this gorgeous pink trench:
Unfortunately it cost approx $2600 US, just a bit out of my price range! So I thought about making it and set out to find a trench pattern that closely resembles the Burberry.
To me it looks like a basic trench but with fancy sleeves. So it was a toss up between Simplicity 2508 and McCalls 5525 and after looking at the details and the reviews on PatternReview.com I went with the Simplicity pattern.
The next step was to work out how to do those sleeves. This is where I became stuck and my dream of owning the fake Burberry (i.e. the Furberry) was about to be dashed. But, I kept digging and stumbled across this excellent and creative blog. Thanks to Chic Cheat, the Furberry was back in business!
Next up was the fabric (and buttons) which I found at Sckafs, Indooroopilly. It is a 97% cotton and 3% lycra blend in light pink. I chose a cotton voile for the lining which matched perfectly in colour. Like many people first experiencing Project Runway patterns, working out the correct amount of fabric needed was not easy and I ended up having to go back and buy more.
I cut the size 8 short coat pattern and made a basic muslin to begin with. This turned out to be a good idea as I had to move the front princess seams towards the centre by 1cm and tailor the back seams in by about 2cm near the waist to make it more fitted. I also took 5cm off the length at the bottom and 2.5cm from the petite adjustment line in the bodice. I took the sleeves in by 2.5cm and up by the same amount. This was fine until I changed the look of the sleeves (see below).
I followed Chic Cheat's methods for the sleeves at the muslin stage and made some minor changes. Mine only needed to be about 20cm wide. I also cut back on the length. Following her methods I made 3 separate pieces per sleeve but tailored to fit the Simplicity pattern.

South Africa – Eastern Cape Premier Phumulo Masualle says the province will focus on creating jobs and sustainable livelihoods in 2015.
The province has set a target to create 129 597 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) job opportunities and 37 000 through the Community Works Programme.
“We have to do this against an economic outlook characterised by… an economy that records one of the highest unemployment rates in the country… We are rising to the task of creating sustainable jobs for our people,” he said during the State of the Province Address (SOPA) in Bisho on Friday.
The unemployment rate in the province currently stands at 30.8%, while youth unemployment stands at 50%.
Premier Masualle said a total of 24 737 jobs, against a target of 13 234, have been created through economic agencies such as the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC), East London Industrial Development Zone (ELIDZ), and the Coega Development Corporation (CDC).
The province is targeting 14 investments with the value of R2.237 billion in the two IDZs.
“As part of promoting the province as an investment destination of choice, we are developing an Investment Promotion Strategy aimed at creating an enabling environment for a vibrant economic growth in the province,” said the Premier.
In the 2015/16 financial year, the ECDC is expected to create 7 000 jobs opportunities, Coega 8 797 and ELIDZ 5 500.
Premier Masualle said in the coming year, jobs will be created in manufacturing, logistics, alternative energy, agro processing and services.
“In an effort to further enhance job creation, we will support 280 SMMEs and 70 cooperatives,” he said.
This will ensure active participation of previously disadvantaged sectors in the economy.
The province has in the past, through the Community Works Programme, created a total of 35 222 work opportunities. Similarly, through the EPWP, a total of 155 235 job opportunities were created against the planned 92 521.
Approximately 64% of the EPWP jobs benefited women, 39% benefited the youth and 1% benefited persons with disabilities. A total of 4 184 youths, out of a target of 3 678, have been trained through the Accelerated Professional & Trade Competency Development Programme and the National Rural Youth Service Corps.
Western Cape outlines 2015 plans
Meanwhile, Western Cape Premier Helen Zille also delivered the SOPA today.
She said the provincial government will invest nearly R90 million in the development of the Saldanha Industrial Development Zone in cooperation with national government.
“Currently, the oil and gas sector accounts for 35 000 formal jobs in the province. Looking at similar initiatives elsewhere in the world, we estimate that we could more than double this number by 2019 under a high growth scenario where the Saldanha IDZ becomes the key logistics hub of Africa for the Oil and Gas Services Industry,” she said.
However, to achieve this, two major challenges need to be overcome, including the Saldanha Bay IDZ requiring additional infrastructure to undertake rig repair at shore.
“Secondly, we lack the skills that the oil and gas sector requires. Currently, there are 1 700 artisans employed at the port and we will need 18 000 by 2019 to support accelerated growth in this sector,” Premier Zille said.
She also welcomed national government’s recently launched Operation Phakisa, with the first phase of the project focused on unlocking the economic potential of South Africa’s oceans. – SAnews.gov.za

2022 NFL Power Rankings: Pittsburgh Steelers
Throughout the 2022 NFL season, we will compile a consensus NFL Power Rankings that averages the rankings of all 32 NFL teams.
Below you will find a Week 2 roundup for the Pittsburgh Steelers in our consensus 2022 NFL Power Rankings.
ESPN -- Rank: 14
Rookie who stood out: RB Jaylen Warren
Even though the Steelers have rookies on the roster who figure to be major players this season, there weren't many opportunities for the young guys to flash on Sunday. Warren, an undrafted rookie, ended up with the most playing time among the rookies (23 offensive snaps). He stepped into a big role when Najee Harris went down at the end of regulation, and though he had only three carries for 7 yards, he figures to have an even bigger role against the Patriots if Harris misses time. Honorable mention standout rookie: third-round pick defensive end DeMarvin Leal, who played 17 snaps.
NFL.com -- Rank: 19
Let's start with the positives: The Steelers forced Joe Burrow into five turnovers, the front seven piled up six sacks and Chris Boswell's long field goal secured an overtime win over the defending AFC champion Bengals in one of the craziest season openers in recent history. The negatives are ominous, however: The offense was largely stagnant under Mitch Trubisky, Najee Harris exited the game with a foot injury and reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt appears likely to miss at least several weeks after suffering a pectoral injury in the final seconds of regulation. Sometimes even the most dramatic of wins can feel like a loss.
UPDATE: Harris said on Tuesday that he will play in Week 2.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 19
The defense came up big in the overtime victory over the Bengals. The loss of T.J. Watt is a damning blow to the defense, which will put more pressure on the offense.
USA Today -- Rank: 15
We'd like to rank them higher after their upset of Cincinnati, and it appears Pittsburgh has avoided devastating news as it pertains to the injuries to OLB T.J. Watt and RB Najee Harris. But losing the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year for a chunk of the season, from an otherwise thin unit, is still a significant blow.
The Athletic -- Rank: 11
T.J. Watt's injury changed the outlook after a surprise, feel-good win in Cincinnati. Though Malik Reed is in place to soak up some of Watt's snaps, perhaps the absence of the reigning Defensive Player of the Year will shine a brighter national light on Minkah Fitzpatrick, who had an interception return for a touchdown, 14 tackles and a game-saving blocked extra point. And save some attention for Alex Highsmith, who had three sacks in the opener. Even without Watt, this could be a defense good enough to carry a scared offense.
The Ringer -- Rank: 22
Mike Tomlin rightfully celebrated an improbable overtime win in Cincinnati, but the Steelers' long-term prospects remain bleak. Star pass rusher T.J. Watt suffered a pectoral muscle injury and will miss, at minimum, six weeks, and starting running back Najee Harris and cornerback Levi Wallace each left Sunday's game with injuries. The Steelers offense averaged just 4.4 yards per play in Mitchell Trubisky's Steelers debut, tied for the fourth-lowest average in Week 1. Tomlin isn't going down without a fight, but optimism is hard to come by in Pittsburgh even after the upset win.
Yahoo! -- Rank: 20
T.J. Watt's injury is a bad one for the Steelers, though there's hope he returns about midseason. It's not quite losing a quarterback for half a season or more, but it's close. Watt dominated Sunday's game and the Steelers can't replace that. It's especially troubling since the offense didn't look great. The Steelers needed almost a full overtime to win a game in which they were plus-five in turnover differential.
PFT -- Rank: 13
They've got a chance to take a 4-0 record to Buffalo in Week Five.

163 LTE networks now operating in 70 countries.
Research firm Wireless Intelligence has revealed that there are now 100 million 4G LTE connections across the globe, Mobile World Live has reported.
According to the research specialist, there are now 163 LTE networks operating in 70 countries. Furthermore, these figures are expected to increase to more than 400 networks in 120 countries by the end of 2017.
Operators in countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the US have so far been principle drivers of this industry growth, with Wireless Intelligence stating that these nations account for 90 per cent of the international LTE connections market.
“Around 100 LTE networks have launched last year globally and as many are expected to launch this year,” Joss Gillet, senior analyst at Wireless Intelligence, told Mobile World Live. “Even if the 4G LTE global market is still in its infancy, mobile operators worldwide are eager to replicate the success stories seen in the US where operators have already started turning the page over the 2G chapter”.
Gillet predicts that there will be in excess of 900 million LTE connections globally by December 2017, reaching one billion in the first half of 2018.

Birth Disparities of Mexican Americans, An Assignment
This was originally an assignment in a midwifery course. I've shared my thoughts here in hopes it helps other birth workers serve all birthing people with dignity and thoughtfulness. To read the original format of the assignment and/or references, click here.
A recurring theme in the Equity and Anti-Oppression course this term is that of the allostatic load carried by underprivileged groups. It is evident from multiple required reading and video sources that stress can have a long-lasting impact on the lives of the gestational parent, the fetus, and the generations that follow. For instance, Thomas et al. (2014), in Section II, identified chronic stress and stress during pregnancy for low-income families as impacting health factors such as obesity, gestational weight gain, and depression. In their study, 80% of the pregnant, low-income participants cited moderate or high stress levels with issues such as financial struggle, housing and job insecurity, relationship conflicts, and anxiety about pregnancy itself contributing to their stress.
The work of D’Anna et al. (2012) from Section II sheds light on another contributor to stress in pregnancy: citizenship status. These researchers studied the unique barriers to perinatal wellness that immigrants, who also commonly identify as low-income people, face in pregnancy. They describe a phenomenon whereby assimilation of Latinx immigrants into mainstream U.S. culture can negatively impact health. Wanting to understand the mechanism behind these findings, D’Anna et al. (2012) tracked hormone levels of pregnant people with Mexican heritage. Not only did the researchers find high cortisol levels in Mexican-Americans compared to white counterparts, they also note that those with higher rates of acculturation had higher rates of cortisol. These folks had higher rates of low-birth weight, preterm birth, and postpartum depression and had lower rates of breastfeeding (D’Anna et al., 2012).
As a future midwife in Southern California, these reports on the Mexican-American experience of pregnancy and birth are of interest because the population will make up a portion of my clientele. As the Race Forward video on Immigration Policy (2015) from Section I points out, the strong focus in America on securing the Southern border is guided by policies of ignorance and systemic racism; these polices have far-reaching implications beyond simply matters of residence. Since D’Anna et al. (2012) provided insight into how stress impacts this population’s outcomes, I was interested to learn what work is being done to combat the effects of immigration-specific stressors to improve health outcomes for Mexican-Americans. I chose low-birth-weight and neonatal mortality in the first year of life as the perinatal health markers because I have direct experience with these specific outcomes at or following birth in my role as a doula supporting undocumented Mexican families.
Perhaps one of the most critical contributors to stress during pregnancy is being without access to medical care. Healthcare coverage issues are tied to both the financial struggle and the anxiety about pregnancy itself that Thomas et al. (2014) identified as being major enablers of stress for low-income families. Researchers Swartz, Hainmueller, Lawrence, and Rodriguez (2017) set out to examine how having healthcare coverage during pregnancy can impact morbidity and mortality outcomes for Mexican immigrants. These researchers cite various reports that identify a link between a lack of prenatal care and higher incidences of low-birth-weight and neonatal mortality. This is important from a humanistic perspective as well as a socio-economic perspective. As the authors of this study note, babies of Mexican immigrants are U.S. citizens because they are born on U.S. soil; their lifelong health and the costs associated are greatly impacted by the access to and quality of the prenatal care their gestational parents receive (Swartz et al., 2017).
This study evaluates the differences between Emergency Medicaid and the newly expanded Emergency Medicaid Plus program in Oregon. While both are in place to meet the needs of those who fall into the intersecting identities of both low-income and non-citizen, Emergency Medicaid only covers life threatening and obstetric admissions situations. The expanded Emergency Medicaid Plus includes prenatal visits and postpartum follow-up with a healthcare provider, which means continuous access to preventative care is possible for this population. The results of this study are clear: when access to continuous care was covered, Mexican immigrants had higher rates of preventative healthcare utilization that led to better outcomes in multiple areas for the parent and infant (Swartz et al., 2017).
Though prenatal care is not shown in this study to reduce the rates of low-birth-weight infants, it is positively associated with a decrease in the rates of infants born in the “very low-birth-weight” and “extremely low-birth-weight” categories. Additionally, the rate of infant death within the first year of life was reduced by 1.01 per 1000 live births in this population; this is a reduction greater than that accomplished by the “Back to Sleep” campaign that took place over a period of 30 years (Swartz et al., 2017).
Participants of the study who were covered in the prenatal period also had more well-child visits, more health screenings, and greater utilization of vaccines than their counterparts, despite all children being covered by Medicaid programs. The authors hypothesize that this occurred because parents who consistently interact with healthcare professionals in pregnancy are more likely to remain connected to healthcare systems after birth (Swartz et al., 2017). Considering Hispanic folks are the least likely group to have health insurance in the U.S. yet face some of the greatest environmental health risks (Miller & Garran, 2017) this research by Swartz et al. (2017) bolsters proponents of healthcare and immigration reform policies that would better serve the health interests of Mexican immigrants and the generations of U.S. citizens that follow.

This recipe makes a huge pot of soup and doesn't take all day. I like making hearty soups in the winter time, and in addition to being delicious, this soup freezes well. If you like vegetables, add more to make it a little more veggie-forward. I like to think that makes it a little more healthful, too.
NOTE: If freezing servings, you may want to add pasta of your choice when reheating, otherwise the pasta can overcook.
1 lb. sweet or hot Italian sausage to taste
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
4-5 cups broth - 1/2 beef, 1/2 chicken
1 15 oz.can tomato sauce
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped (optional)
1 15 oz. can sliced mushrooms (I use fresh)
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
2 tsp white sugar (optional)
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp oregano
1 bay leaf
1 pkg. tortellini or pasta of your choice
1. Brown sausage, onions, and garlic with red pepper flakes until meat is no longer pink.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, except tortellini, and bring to a simmer. Cook until veggies are tender.
3. Add tortellini and cook until done. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve with fresh parmesan.

Noakhali rape victim’s husband comes under acid attack
The husband of a rape victim came under acid attack in Noakhali’s Subarnachar early today hours after he took part in a human chain organised to protest the persecution on his wife, family members claimed.
Injured Nasir Uddin, 45, of Char Bagga village in Subarnachar was rushed to Noakhali General Hospital with nine per cent burn injuries on his chest, hands and thigh, our Noakhali correspondent reports quoting the hospital’s superintendent Dr Md Khalil Ullah.
Yesterday morning, the injured had taken part in the human chain in Maijdi area of Noakhali city and returned to his Subarnachar house.
Later at night, a group of miscreants hurled acid on Nasir in front of his house around 2:30am, our correspondent reports quoting his mother.
Syed Ahmed, officer-in-charge (OC) of Charyapada Police Station, said he heard about the incident. But no complaint was filed regarding till this noon, the OC added.
On May 2, Nasir filed a case with a court accusing one Joynal of blackmailing and raping his wife multiple times. Since then Nasir’s family and other witnesses in the case have been receiving threats, the victim’s family alleged.

What causes dog seizures?
There are a number of reasons for dog seizures. These can include epilepsy, low blood sugar levels, calcium deficiency, heat stroke, some infectious diseases, head trauma, liver disease, kidney disease, some poisons, poor circulation of the brain or brain tumours.
If your dog is eight years old or younger, epilepsy is the most common cause. In most cases, epileptic seizures do respond well to treatment.
Are dog seizures life threatening?
Although they are not immediately life-threatening, your dog will lose control of their body, which can be frightening. Prolonged seizures can be deadly.
No two seizures look the same but you may see your dog start to tremble, his eyes glaze over, he may fall or lie down and start to jerk violently. You may also see focal twitching, champing of the jaw and drooling and your dog may pass urine or faeces.
After the seizure, your dog may be disoriented and can appear blind for some time — this is called the “post-ictal” period. This shouldn’t last for more than two hours. In recurring cases, you may spot subtle changes in your dog’s behaviour before a seizure — called the “pre-ictal” period).
Treatment may be needed if your dog suffers a seizure for a prolonged period or repeatedly, so please contact your vet as soon as possible, or, out of hours, find your nearest Vets Now pet emergency clinic or Vets Now 24/7 hospital.
Would you know what to do if your dog has a seizure? Be prepared and check out this article from Vets Now: https://goo.gl/RqSIIJ
How to manage dog seizures
- Try not to panic
- Focus on your dog’s needs, as it is unlikely that the seizure is immediately life threatening
- Distance your dog from anything that might harm it and avoid touching your dog, particularly around the mouth as they may bite you due to losing control over their muscles and movement
- Make a note of the time of the seizure started and how long it lasts for
- Try to keep your dog as cool as possible (do not wrap in towels or blankets) as they can overheat
- If the seizure continues for more than four minutes, phone your vet immediately or, out of hours, find your nearest Vets Now pet emergency clinic or Vets Now 24/7 hospital

Talk of a new movie centered on the life of Enzo Ferrari dates back decades, but perhaps a new drama series on Apple TV+ could eventuate first.
Apple’s streaming service has a series about the Ferrari founder in the works—and with some big names attached.
Steven Knight, the creator of British crime series “Peaky Blinders,” is behind the project, along with “The Hand of God” director Paolo Sorrentino, an Academy Award winner, as an executive producer and Stefano Sollima, responsible for a number of Italian crime dramas, as the director.
“I am thrilled to be telling such an evocative story about this legendary man and his iconic brand,” Knight said in a statement. “Enzo Ferrari’s utterly extraordinary life was defined by his dramatic personal and professional journey, and Ferrari is a celebration of an incredibly complex and fascinating human being.”
According to Deadline, the series, which will be called “Ferrari,” will be based on a Ferrari biography authored by Luca Dal Monte, and focus on Ferrari’s building of his company and race team, and the torment he suffered along the way. There was the death of Ferrari’s first son, Dino, as well as the fatal Mille Miglia crash and ensuing legal case, not to mention multiple points of financial hardship.
As for the movie on Ferrari’s life, expected to be called “Enzo Ferrari,” it’s set to star Adam Driver in the role of Ferrari. Penelope Cruz and Shailene Woodley are also set to star, playing the roles of Ferrari’s wife, Laura, and his mistress, Lina Lardi, respectively. Lardi is the mother of Ferrari’s only surviving child, Piero.
Neither project has a release date attached.
Following the success of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” on Netflix, it seems Apple TV+ is now keen to add more automotive content. A documentary about F1 star Lewis Hamilton is coming to the streaming service, and there are rumors of a “Speed Racer” series also being in the works.

While I was at the show, Andrew Barber at Fake Shore Drive tweeted that west-side rap legends Crucial Conflict had, with zero in the way of advance warning, dropped new material from what they're calling a sequel to their breakthrough 1996 album, The Final Tic.
By the time I got around to checking Twitter this morning, de Brauw had already posted a recording of his performance captured by Empty Bottle sound guy Matt Hannigan (who's also Pelican's touring sound guy). So out of nowhere my early afternoon turned unexpectedly into a psychedelic fast-rap/drone combo. De Brauw's "Don't Be an Asshole" (a work in progress, which he plans to record in a studio soon) and Crucial Conflict's new single "Sidewayz" (a dark club banger that finds the common ground shared by classic dubstep and old Three 6 Mafia) are both streamable below. Both are enjoyable on their own, but the real question is: Are you a bad enough dude to listen to both at the same time?

Sarah Michelle Gellar is somewhat of an icon of both the small and big screen, with notable roles including the hugely popular TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, as well as Ringer, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cruel Intentions, The Grudge and Scooby-Doo. And now Sarah is lending her voice to the Inhaler Tales, teaming up with pharmaceutical company Teva to raise awareness of inhaler misuse in Asthma and COPD.
Sarah is the voice of a talking pink inhaler, addressing doctors about the problems with improper use of inhalers by patients.
“I was diagnosed with asthma when I was a kid, I honestly don’t remember a life without it. so I know the impact respiratory disease can have on your life,” The actress and producer tells us when we had a chat with her over zoom about The Inhaler Tales. “My mother was asthmatic as are now both my children, so it’s something I’m really familiar with and have lived with for as long as I can remember. As someone who is asthmatic, I think the topic is really important.“
.A recent survey1 of asthma and COPD sufferers done in collaboration with Teva and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America found that only 45 per cent of respondents are using their maintenance inhaler as prescribed, and almost 60 per cent are overusing their rescue inhaler.
“With most diagnoses you get medicine and it says take this pill four times a day, with food, with water. You know how to do it. But with this, it’s like you go through all the trouble of getting the diagnosis but then you are not utilising the treatment plan correctly. So your not getting the most out of what you could of life.”
“I think you look at me they see I haven’t let the physical job I do be affected by asthma. And the truth is the way to do that is by having a proper treatment plan.”
The same study found that 52 per cent had their ability to participate in outdoor activities impacted by their disease. Additionally, 41 per cent said that their disease impacted their family life and 57 per cent said that their relationships were impacted by their disease. Teva data on file. Survey Data. 2021. Statistics that Sarah finds heartbreaking.
“Less than half the people who are diagnosed are using their medication properly. We all have so much life to live. Especially in the last two years where we’ve really had to rely on telemedicine. And we’ve had to really be our own advocates and really explain to doctors what we are feeling, how we are feeling, then on top of that if we are not using it correctly. It’s hard. It’s like using machinery, you have to be able to administer it properly. I think that’s why the technology of the new smart inhalers is so interesting. As information can straight to your doctors so they can better help you find the right treatment plan for you as everyone is different.“
If she could give advice to anyone who struggles with the disease it’s “communicate with your doctors. I was always taught to communicate with mine. People look at asthma as weakness, Oh I don’t want to tell my doctor that I’m struggling to get air because maybe they will tell me I can’t do something. And that’s like the biggest misnomer I would like to clear up. Every person’s treatment is individual but in most cases, you should be able to do most things. And I don’t want people to avoid telling a doctor how they are feeling and communicating what they are experiencing for fear.”

Facebook R&B crooner Mario has been relatively quiet on the music front for…
- Posted on Aug 12th 2011 4:30PM by Theo Spielberg
The band first appeared on the show in 2000 when they played bangers 'The National Anthem' and 'Idioteque' from 'Kid A.' This outing promises to be slightly more subdued and well, a bit more dubstep-y.
The band's most recent album 'King of Limbs' has recently been receiving heavy remix treatment. Never ones to shirk from pushing boundaries, the band have been releasing a series of 12-inch singles, each of which remixes a different song from the album.
The most recent batch, 'Give Up the Ghost,' 'Codex,' and 'Little by Little,' can be found streaming on Radiohead's website. They will compile all of these remixes on an album entitled 'TKOL RMX 1234567' that will be released Oct. 11. Whether or not any remix influences filter into their performance next month remains to be seen. One thing's for sure: this will be one knockout season opener.

What is principal business of assessee is very tricky question-High Court remands case to ITAT to examine applicability of exception u/s 73 of the Act
ABCAUS Case Law Citation:
ABCAUS 2905 (2019) (05) HC
Important Case Laws Cited/relied upon by the parties
Commissioner of Income Tax west Bengal-II Calcutta Vs. Middleton Investment & Trading Co. Ltd
Commissioner of Income Tax, Kolkat-II Vs. M/s. Savi Commercial Pvt. Ltd.
PCBL Industrial Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income-Tax and Another
Aryasthan Corporation Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income-Tax
Paharpur Cooling towers Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income-Tax
R.P.G. Industries Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax and Another
Prem Chand Shaw (Jaiswal) Vs. Assistant commissioner of Income Tax
This appeal was filed by the assessee against the order passed by the learned Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Tribunal).
The case of the assessee company was that apart from the business of purchase and sale of shares it carried on the business of granting loans, advances etc. and had a significant income from other sources as shown in their profit and loss account for the relevant financial year. Therefore, the business of purchase and sale of shares was not their principal business. Hence it was entitled to adjust the loss incurred by them by trading in shares against their business income.
The question to be answered was therefore as to whether principal business of the assessee was that of granting loans and advances and the case of the appellant comes within the exceptions to the Explanation under Section 73 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act), and whether assessee is entitled to the benefit of set off of loss in shares dealing by treating the same as business loss?
The judgment given by the Division Bench was first judgment of the Hon’ble High Court with Special Jurisdiction (Income Tax).
While finalizing the assessment, the Assessing Officer held that the loss claimed by the assessee in the business of purchase and sale in shares was speculation loss as per the provisions of explanation to Section 73 of the Act. He, therefore, did not allow its set off against the income from interest on granting loans and advances etc. declared by the assessee by holding that neither of the exceptions provided in Explanation to Section 73 of the Act were applicable to the case of the assessee.
The CIT (Appeals) allowed the appeal of the assessee by holding that the case of the assessee was covered by the exceptions provided in Explanation to 73 of the Act and the loss in purchase and sale of shares should be allowed to be set off as business loss.
However the Tribunal allowed the appeal of the revenue and reversed the order of CIT (Appeals) and restored the order of the Assessing Officer.
The Hon’ble High Court considered possibilities of various factors, i.e. Is the principal business of the assessee to be determined on the basis of the businesses mentioned in its memorandum of association? Whether turnover of the assessee is an indication of its principal business? Suppose an assessee makes substantial capital expenditure in a year for promotion of a particular business which it claims to be its principal business but its turnover in that year is much less than the turnover from other business, could the assessee claim the former business to be its principal business? Suppose the assessee carries on more than one business and the turnover of one business is less than the others but the profit of that business is more because the expenses are less. Would that business become the principal business?
His lordship opined that all the above factors have to be judiciously analysed and assessed to determine the principal business of a Corporate assessee.
The Hon’ble High Court noted that as per the Notes on Clauses, appended to the relevant Finance Bill, the object of section 73 is to curb the device sometimes resorted to by business houses controlling groups of companies to manipulate and reduce the taxable income of companies under their control.
The Hon’ble High Court summarized the ambit and scope of Section 73 of the Act and Explanation under it as under:
(i) Section 73 of the Act deals with carry forward and set off of losses from speculation business and Explanation to Section 73 of the Act is a deeming provision wherein if specified conditions are satisfied, purchase and sale of shares are deemed speculation activities.
(ii) Explanation to Section 73 of the Act does not attract any company if the gross total income of the company includes income mainly from “Interest on securities,” “Income from House property,” “capital gains” and “Income from other sources Or the principle business of the company is the business of banking or the granting of loans and advances.
(iii) Explanation to Section 73 of the Act provides that a company if fulfills any one of the aforesaid two conditions shall be exempted from the purview of the provisions of explanation.
(iv) The Explanation to Section 73 of the Act is not applicable in case the whole of the business of a company consists of purchase and sale of shares.
The Hon’ble High Court observed that the reliance placed by the assessee into certain facts and evidence like Audit Report, Balance Sheet etc. by alleging that the same had not been referred, discussed and considered by the Tribunal which was apparent on perusal of the impugned order of the Tribunal.
The Hon’ble High Court opined that the above allegation could not be brushed aside simply on the ground of matter of facts and evidence because it was directly related to application of the provisions of law i.e. Section 73 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and Explanation under it.
The Hon’ble High Court opined that what is the principal business of the assessee is a very tricky question of fact which needs to be determined by the tribunal threadbare. The Tribunal would be the appropriate forum to scrutinize the said relevant facts and evidence to come to a definite conclusion as to whether principle business of the assessee was of granting of loans and advances or dealing in shares and whether case of the assessee falls within the exception under Section 73 of the Act and whether loss from shares dealing was speculation loss or not in the facts and circumstances of this case.
Accordingly the Hon’ble High Court set aside the impugned order of the Tribunal and remand to it on the aforesaid issues with direction to decide the aforesaid issue afresh.

I don’t normally go for mecha anime. It’s not that I have an unreasonable hatred of the genre. Actually, there are a few titles I adore but they just usually aren’t my thing. A mecha show really has to be outstanding for me to fall in love with it.
So with my high standards now acknowledged, you can understand why I was hesitant when a friend urged me to watch Eureka Seven, stating I would love it. There is nothing worse than having to tell a friend that the series they recommended is something you’d rather gouge your eyes out than watch. Thankfully he really does know me well and was right. I never thought I’d utter the words “Hey, that anime with the surfing robots is actually quite good!” And yet here we are. I think Eureka Seven rocks!
Eureka Seven’s main character is a fourteen year old boy named Renton. He was raised by his grandfather, who has hopes of him becoming a mechanic like himself. Of course Renton wants none of that and wants to follow in his dead father’s footsteps and become a pilot and a hero. His prayers get answered when a teal haired girl, the titular character, crashes into his house. After helping Eureka fix her LFO (Surfing robot) and winning a skirmish with the corrupt military, Renton decides to leave with her and join Gekkostate.
Gekkostate is a loveable ragtag band of anti-military adventurers who love wind surfing and fighting the establishment. After a really rough hazing, Renton soon discovers that they actually do have hearts and almost all of them are running from some sort of dark, tragic past. Of course this anime isn’t just about first love with bonus mecha; there’s a corrupt government that has to be taken down, a dying world that needs to be saved and a psychopathic girl with a hate for our two heroes who also pilots a ship eerily similar to their own.
Eureka Seven reminds me a tiny bit of a lighter version of Evangelion. It shares EVA’s mind trippyness and also throws the audience into a world they have to struggle to comprehend fast, but unlike EVA, Eureka always remembers that the audience sometimes has more fun when they can actually understand the plot. Also I feel that Eureka Seven does a good job at aiming for a broad viewership while never forgetting who their true target audience is. Eureka Seven is aimed at the junior high/high school set, judging by the age of the main characters, the surfing robots and some of the humor. The show does throw a lot of bones to its older audience members though so everyone can watch and enjoy it.
I highly recommend this show, not only to mecha lovers, but for everyone who likes a good adventure/take down the establishment/coming of age story! Fans of Evangelion and Code Geass should definitely give it a try!

Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah-Mormon Pioneers
Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, by Frank Esshom, was originally published in 1913 in a “deluxe” edition of 5,000 copies and sold to the public. The book contained 6,482 biographical summaries and photographs of civic, political and religious leaders in Utah. Many Mormon Pioneers and their families are included. The first section contains photographs of the men profiled. The second section lists the earliest male heads of household arranged alphabetically followed by entries for some of his male descendants.

One could easily attain the top-notch, but the real strive starts after you reach the top upon maintaining the same top position. Likewise, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, in terms of the market cap value, is striving extremely hard these days in order to keep up its position. The crypto regulations posed on numerous countries are cornering Binance to the maximum extent. And so a few European countries too now join the league against Binance.
Binance Decisions For Europe
Binance, is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange for sure needs no further introduction. It is still the crypto exchange with the highest trading volumes. Upon the ongoing hurdles put forth by various crypto-regulated countries on Binance, recent ties have hit them hard though.
Accordingly, a number of European countries that have regulated their crypto industry also start to eye on Binance. In spite of this, Binance declared itself that it would be closing down its attributes and futures products upon a few countries in Europe. These are Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.
In addition, Binance declared officially that they are working hard in order to satisfy all the customers and partners, as the crypto industry goes towards constant evolution.
Besides, the CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao aka CZ mentions that the decision is already into action. Also, many users who belong to these countries were not able to open their accounts or use their assets.
However, Binance says there will be a maximum period of 90 days within which the users belonging to these countries should withdraw and close their accounts themselves.
Allegations History On the Run
The list has only been increasing with every day passing by for all those Countries subject to Binance. Now, European countries, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands join in too.
Moreover, starting with the U.K, Japan, following Thailand’s SEC filing criminal charges, Cayman Islands, Singapore and now ending up with most European countries like Poland, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.
In addition to this, Binance is also getting cornered by Banks all over the world too and many banks based in the U.K have blocked Binance completely.
Besides, the CEO states Binance will get its registration everywhere possible, all over the world. Also, the CEO recently took to terms that a new CEO will soon be coming in for the firm.

Janice Mighten uses a case study to gain insight into a child’s perception of an episode of major illness involving an extended hospital stay and recovery
In the UK, tuberculosis (TB) is on the increase. Miliary TB affects the lungs and can leave lasting damage, and affect a person’s quality of life adversely. Healthcare professionals need to co-ordinate services efficiently, to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home, and ensure there is appropriate support in the community for as long as necessary. In this article, a boy describes his journey through the illness: the associated bewilderment, deterioration, pain, fear and isolation; the emergencies; the prolonged but effective treatment; the care he received; and the support of his family. On discharge, he was still breathless and found it difficult to adapt to home life but, with thorough planning of his support with healthcare professionals, parents and relevant agencies, he was able to get back to school and continue his education.

Self-employed workers are braced for a drastic cut in earnings after the Treasury unveiled plans to force through a series of controversial tax reforms.
The changes to an obscure piece of tax legislation called IR35 have been likened to the dystopian film Minority Report and described by a former contractor as “a grenade about to go off”.
The move will replicate in the private sector the changes foisted on the public sector in 2017, which have caused chaos for those who regularly work for government bodies.
Last week, Talksport presenter Paul Hawksbee won a £140,000 court case over IR35. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) argued that he should have been taxed as an employee, but the judge decided he...

China claims reduce catch for Zambales fishers
MetadataShow full item record
During good weather, the shoreline of Calapandayan village in Subic town, Zambales province, bustles with fishermen fixing their boats. Some haul their boats to shore after spending a week or two out at sea, while others prepare their vessels for a new fishing expedition by loading fishing gear and supplies. But these fishermen also have to build up stamina for the long-standing maritime dispute and aggression by the Chinese Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea. What used to be a rich fishing ground has been off-limits, or regulated by Chinese vessels, since 2012, said Leonido Moralde Sr., 57, a fisherman and boat owner. China has been controlling the shoal, part of its supposed historic claim over most of the entire South China Sea, a claim junked by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague in July 2016.

The United States has criticized a top adviser to the European Union’s high court for describing an important data privacy agreement between the US and the European Union as invalid.
On Wednesday, Yves Bot, an advocate general for the European Court of Justice (ECJ), said the US intelligence practices disclosed by Edward Snowden render the protections of the Safe Harbor program invalid.
“Because the surveillance carried out by the US is mass, indiscriminate surveillance … in those circumstances, a third country cannot in any event be regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection,” Bot wrote in a non-binding opinion.
On Monday, the US mission to the EU said in a statement that “we believe that it is essential to comment in this instance because the Advocate General’s opinion rests on numerous inaccurate assertions about intelligence practices of the United States.”
The US mission rejected Bot’s claim that the US is involved in mass surveillance, noting that the spying program targets only “valid foreign intelligence threats” and that it abides by “publicly disclosed limitations.”
Under the 2000 agreement, technology giants, including Google and Facebook can legally funnel data for EU citizens across the Atlantic as they “self certify” that their data-privacy practices are equal to stricter EU regulations.

When Julie Delpy stepped out onstage with Parker Posey and moderator/Carpetbagger Melena Ryzik for yesterday’s Sundance TimesTalk about Delpy’s new movie 2 Days in New York, she couldn’t open her eyes. Just as the writer-director-star had arrived backstage, she’d gotten a splitting migraine, the kind where you see colors and can’t stand to be around light. But, bless her, she was determined to carry on. Someone from the audience gave her sunglasses. “I feel like Keith Richards,” she said, laughing. The lively discussion then hit on sex tapes, the struggles both Delpy and Posey have faced at being labeled “indie,” and a particularly inspired rant from Delpy about how if Che Guevara had seen Paris Hilton wearing his image on a T-shirt, he would have shot her. Then with about fifteen minutes to go, Ryzik was handed a note saying that Delpy had to leave.
After the actress left, Ryzik and Posey gamely carried on, a little confused, but assumed Delpy had a prior commitment she hadn’t told them about. It was only after the talk was over that they found out Delpy had gone to the hospital. “She’s feeling much better now,” a rep told us, which is wonderful to hear, given the terrible health issues that befell beloved director of the San Francisco Film Society Bingham Ray (R.I.P.) and Tracy Morgan this festival. Wishing Delpy bonne santé and a restful day.

doctoral student at Department of Information Technology, Division of Computer Systems
Laura Marie Feeney is currently a doctoral research in the Communication Research Lab in the Division of Computer Systems, under the supervision of Professor Per Gunningberg.
Her research interests are generally in networking and systems, with broad experience in industry, R&D, academic, and startup environments. Much of her current work is directed toward battery-efficient communication, performance evaluation, and practical network operations in the internet-of-things.

Laura Marie Feeney is a PhD reseearcher in the Communication Research Group at Uppsala University. From 1999-2015, she was a visiting researcher and researcher in the Computer and Network Architectures Lab (now part of the Decisions, Netowrks, and Analytics Lab) at SICS. At SICS, she was a leader in the study of decentralized wireless networks, particularly ad hoc and sensor networks, specializing mainly in energy efficient and battery aware communication technqiues. Although much of her work is based on developing novel measurement techniques, she is also active in the OMNeT++ simulation community.
Before coming to Sweden, Laura participated in the development of the real time Mach microkernel at the OSF Research Institute in Cambridge, MA and in the development of SIMNET and the Defense Simulation Internet at BBN in Cambridge, MA. She has also worked at several startups, most notably the computer game developer Looking Glass Studios. She was a mathematics and computer science undergraduate at MIT.
Laura has co-authored 20 refereed papers in journals and international conferences. She has given two keynote presentations and participated on the organizing committee for numerous conferences, including ACM MSWiM, IFIP Networking, and the OMNeT++ Workshop. She has been a visitor at the Santa Fe Institute Complex Systems Summer School, University of Rome La Sapienza, and Technical University Berlin.
Most of my current research is directed toward decentralized wireless networks such as ad hoc, opportunistic, and sensor networks.
In these networks, many devices are battery dependent and must be able to operate for long periods without human intervention. Much of my recent research is directed toward understanding how the device interacts with the battery: How accurately can a device with limited on-board resources estimate its state-of-charge in an unpredictable environment? How can protocols and applications adapt their behavior to use the battery's available capacity in the most efficient way?
The range of potential applications based on networks of small, easily deployed wireless devices is truly enormous. Unfortunately, the available specturm is limted, particularly in unlicensed bands. As a result, the operating environment for these application will be characterized by the presence of many diverse networks that are deployed independently of each other, resulting in uncoordinated networks with overlapping wireless coverage operating in the same space. Much of my recent research is directed toward the study of inter-network interactions: I have shown that a number of well-known protocols perform unexpectedly poorly in the presence of inter-network interference. What are the implications of these results for protocol design, network architectures, commerical development, and regulatory issues?

Nursing homes risk losing funding if staff refuses vaccine
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Despite the tragic events of last year, some nursing home staff are opposed to getting the COVID-19 shot.
But, pressure to get vaccinated if working in a long-term care facility is escalating. Should employees decide not to get the shot, nursing homes will pay a price.
Under the administration, federal health officials threatened to take away Medicare and Medicaid funding from facilities if all workers are not fully vaccinated.
News 8 spoke with Dr. Kathleen Unroe, research scientist at the Regenstrief Institute, who explains the consequences.
“It’s been devastating in nursing homes,” Unroe said. “But, the vaccines have provided so much hope to all of us. So, the number of infections and mortality were so high for so long. And then, once the vaccinations were available, we’ve seen mortality rates fall. Now, we’re in a situation where we’re seeing additional outbreaks.”
But, it’s not only about the risk of increased infections in the facilities. Unroe also says nursing homes will lose staff, which is also a safety issue considering residents need extensive, hands-on care. She gives the example of the dangers of not having enough staff to answer call lights or help escort those in need to a bathroom facility and need to be fed.
Unroe goes on to say it’s not just about having the vaccine available. It’s about universal uptake to protect the vulnerable.

I’ve been thinking this week about the importance of hope for a community, and the necessity of community to sustain hope. A community must be compelled by a hopeful vision in order to flourish. And when hope diminishes for individuals, the sustaining power of the community can restore that hopeful vision.
This is beautifully depicted in The Book of the Dun Cow. After Chauntecleer has exhausted himself, defeating Cockatrice in their climactic battle, the leader of the coop realizes that a far greater threat remains.
But it is entirely possible to win against the enemy, it is possible even to kill the enemy, and still to be defeated by the battle.
Chauntecleer had not lost his life to Cockatrice , but he’d lost something infinitely more dear. He had lost hope. And with it went the Rooster’s faith. And without faith he no longer had a sense of the truth.
I won’t spoil the novel’s conclusion, but it’s a lovely portrayal of just this redemptive dynamic. Along with a few others, like Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry, this novel is one of a few must-reads for pastors and church leaders.
2 thoughts on “Hope & Community”
Ordered a copy last night (even though I’m not a pastor).
I hope you enjoy it! I laughed, I cried…
