Personality: Lynne B. Hughes
Spotlight on Comfort Zone Camp founder
1/11/2024, 6 p.m.
When Lynne B. Hughes lost her mother and father at the age of 9 and 12, respectively, she struggled to find help after their deaths.
Her efforts to process her feelings and losses were stymied in part by a lack of support and options. Over the years she became more aware of how many others faced similar struggles.
“I realized there were no resources for grieving children,” Ms. Hughes says, “and I wanted to create a place where kids could realize they weren’t alone, gain tools to help them navigate their grief and get back to being kids again.”
Ms. Hughes would find inspiration soon after her loss at a youth summer camp that allowed her to process her grief.
The experience stayed with her during college, when she began researching summer camps in hopes of helping other children like she had been helped as a camp counselor.
Comfort Zone Camp, a program whose reach extends far beyond Virginia, is the result of Ms. Hughes’ desire to see children heal, grow and lead more fulfilling lives. She is the founder of the international camp that provides a space for children and young adults to process their trauma, find community and solidarity.
Since CZC began providing free weekend bereavement camps at rented sites, Ms. Hughes has seen it expand across the country.
More than 23,000 children have been helped through the camps after its founding in Richmond in 1998, and she’s seen firsthand the impact it’s had in the lives of its participants.
“I’ve seen kids come back year after year and go from being on the fringe to being leaders and helping others. Now one-third of our volunteers are former campers — paying forward what was given to them.”
CZC has repeatedly expanded in response to moments of major trauma, hosting camps at sites in Washington, D.C., New York and New Jersey in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks. CZC also began offering virtual camps during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And while the number of children helped through the program is substantial, Ms. Hughes believes the state of the world has continued to make CZC a necessary resource. She says she repeatedly has seen that youths aren’t properly prepared for tragedies and disappointments, and not given the right support when they occur.
“We live in a death-avoidant society where children aren’t encouraged to talk about their grief or their loss,” says Ms. Hughes, and points to a recent rise in suicides and deaths by overdose as major points of worry.
“By having kids come to a camp, with no distractions, it creates a ‘bubble’: where kids can ‘turbo-bond’ — everyone is there for the same reason and is leaning in and saying, ‘me too’.”
Ms. Hughes also believes children need better guidance for “life grief,” from parental divorce to academic struggles, romantic issues and other “unfair moments” big and small that may arise in their lives.
“They need a voice and a place,” she says. “I think all kids can really benefit from a comfort zone.”
Meet a longtime supporter of grieving youths and this week’s Personality, Lynne B. Hughes:
Occupation: CEO and founder, Comfort Zone Camp.
Date of birth: April 28.
Where I live now: Rockville.
Education: Bachelor’s in communications from Michigan State University.
Family: Married to Kelly Hughes; son, Evan; daughter, Jamie.
Comfort Zone Camp is: A nonprofit bereavement camp that offers free weekend camps to children ages 7 to 17 and young adults.
Mission: Comfort Zone Camp’s mission is to empower children experiencing grief to fully realize their capacity to heal, grow and lead more fulfilling lives.
How Comfort Zone Camp works in a nutshell: We provide free weekend camps for children who’ve experienced the death of a close loved one.
We pair every child up with their own big buddy mentor who serves as their anchor/friend throughout the weekend as they do traditional camp activities but also participate in small support groups, called healing circles, where they tell their stories and talk about their feelings and gain tools to help them navigate their grief journey. Kids are able to attend annually.
Comfort Zone Camp attendees are: Children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, primary caregiver or friend due to death.
Comfort Zone Camp cost for campers: Camp is offered at no cost.
Comfort Zone Camp is funded: Through individual and corporate donations, grants and fundraising events.
Comfort Zone Camp’s 2024 No. 1 one goal or project: To serve more children! We want to reach more children in the Richmond area and surround area. We are adding five camps in 2024.
Strategy for achieving goals: Network with those who come in contact with children and families; primarily schools and also word of mouth. Also through the media.
No. 1 challenge: Creating awareness that kids do grieve even though it doesn’t look like adult grief and its important they work on their grief as children, which will allow them to be happier and healthier adults. Also understanding the importance of learning to drain our grief off in health ways. Also getting enough male volunteers. We need more males who want to come and change a child’s life. They don’t have to have had a loss to be a volunteer — just a heart for grieving kids!
Racial equity and Comfort Zone Camp: Comfort Zone Camp always has been open to all children and families of all backgrounds and races. A core tenet of our program is to offer camps free of charge so that cost is never a barrier to attend. When every child attending puts on the same Comfort Zone T-shirt and starts sharing what it’s like to lose someone and the feelings that come with that and they lean in and say, “it gets better” or “me too”, they realize they are all members of the same grief family.
Ways to get involved with Comfort Zone Camp as a volunteer or for a child/parent/ guardian in need: We need volunteers at camp and also in the office! The best way to get involved is to contract our office at 804-377-3430; email firstname.lastname@example.org or visit our webpage at www.comfortzonecamp.org
Comfort Zone Camp partners with: Schools, churches, funeral homes, pediatricians, physicians and more!
Upcoming events: Camps in April, May, June, September and November. Virtual support groups for kids and parents four weeknights in February
How I start the day: I start with a thank you prayer to God for letting me live to see another day and asking him to help me be a light to others.
The three words that best describe me: Resilient, caring and determined.
If I had 10 extra minutes in the day I would: Exercise!
If I could host a dream dinner party, my one special guest would be: My mom. She died when I was 9 and I never got to know her as a person so I would love to see and talk to her through adult eyes!
Best late-night snack: Dark chocolate!
The music I listen to most is: ’70s music.
Something I love to do that most people would never imagine: Watch Hallmark movies! I love a happy ending!
A quote that inspires: “One person can make a difference and every person should try.” — John F. Kennedy
At the top of my “to-do” list: Prioritizing all the balls I have to keep juggling.
The best thing my parents ever taught me: My parents died when I was young but I do remember my Dad always encouraging me that I could be anything I wanted and I had the ability to leave my mark.
The person who influenced me the most: My parents and the lack of having them in my life influenced me the most.
Book that influenced me the most: “Motherless Daughters” by Hope Edelman. I didn’t realize the impact that losing my mother had on me at a young age and the role mothers play in our lives. It also made an impact because the author was my age and it inspired me to take action in my own life.
What I’m reading now: “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek. My takeaway: “Discovering your own WHY can restore your passion to a degree multiple times greater than at any other time in your life. People don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. Those who truly lead are able to create a following of people who act not because they were swayed but because they were inspired.”
Next goal: Work with communities to understand the unqiue needs of grieving children; how grief affects mental health and how Comfort Zone Camp can help.

Pursuing his dwarfen master training, Torto travels by canoe to the province of Lucania while Lyle remains at the farm of Dale and Mary Conner north of Feladora to complete his schooling at Long Bluff School. Arriving at a sandbar in the River Sybaris, Torto meets a solitary individual who guides him away from the District Sea and into a test of his stamina.
Torto meets Trader Jack Oldman and Pat, his wife of forty years. Guided through the Lucanian town of Leatherwood, Torto learns about the hostile native factions and the mysterious character known as Child Alone.
In the meantime Lyle completed his schooling and experienced trouble finding employment. Taking a summer job at the Kewadin Swim Club, Lyle meets Toby Lennon and together they share work experiences at the club. Seeking steady employment Lyle turns to a member of the District council for a job referral. Disturbed by a work supervisor’s comments, Lyle angrily bolts from the building and encounters his friend, Toby. Offered a job on a three man surveying team leaving Feladora for Lucania, Lyle jumps at the job offer and tells his school friend, Anna Europea, of his departure plans.
Betrayed and taken hostage in Lucania, Lyle and the other members of the survey crew await rescue. Torto completes his first year of training with Owen Nightingale and experiences the joy and excitement at the rendezvous in the Eel River Valley northwest of Leatherwood. Once Torto learns that Lyle has been taken hostage, he proposes a daring rescue attempt and gains Owen’s support. Joined by five other dwarfen masters, the party rides to Solaca-tuatu (Eastern Redoubt) to solicit the cooperation and aid from Duchess Louisa Marrone, a powerful leader among the Eastern Elean Faction.
Duchess Marrone conferred with Torto and accepted his rescue proposal. Naming her daughter Lady Felicia as her representative to join the rescue party, the duchess dispatched the riders to commence the search for the missing survey team. Meantime, through treachery Duke Soresco, the leader of the Western Elean Faction, has reported to District officials that the survey team is being held by the Eastern Faction. He demands that the duchess consent to a marriage between Lady Felicia and the duke.
Events transpire quickly and result in a dramatic showdown at T-Lac-tuatu (Western Redoubt) between Duchess Marrone and Duke Soresco. Betrayal, dedicaton, compassion, mystery, an ancient terror, bravery, misrepresentation, murder and rescue weave through this tale, the fourth in The Adventures of Torto fanatasy adventure series by master Hoosier storyteller, Robert Spahr.

From its terminals down to its stations, Petron Corporation has demonstrated the strength and resilience of its operations amid challenges posed by typhoon Odette.
The company announced that nearly all its stations that sustained damages in Visayas and Mindanao have been fully restored and operational less than a month since the onslaught of typhoon Odette.
Petron’s on-ground teams worked double-time to fast-track the restoration and re-opening of stations that had to close down to undergo damage assessment and repair.
Repair works are still ongoing in a few more stations in Bohol, Cebu, and Siargao—among the hardest hit areas by the typhoon. Despite the power outages, most Petron stations were still able to operate using gensets.
Petron had earlier assured the public of building up its product inventory to accommodate the high demand for fuel, especially from government agencies crucial in recovery and clearing efforts, as well as hospitals, power plants, airports, water facilities, among others.
Petron’s terminals worked round the clock to meet the growth in demand, soaring by almost 200% in some affected areas.
The oil firm also deployed additional tank trucks to accelerate the delivery process and reach more customers. It also made other adjustments like securing alternative source plants to ensure continuous and uninterrupted product replenishment.
In the typhoon’s immediate aftermath, all Petron import facilities and terminals were back online, continuously and safely working to serve the needs of the locals.
Through its local teams, dealers, and the LGUs, Petron was able to identify the urgent concerns of vulnerable communities in typhoon-battered areas. The company, through its Petron Foundation and terminals, had already distributed canned goods in Mandaue and Mactan to about 3,700 families.
Petron also remained in close coordination with its dealers to ensure order and compliance in its stations.

After more than twenty years of introducing children to great books, PBS’s Reading Rainbow television series has come to an end. Over the course of 155 programs, host Levar Burton visited museums and pueblos, interviewed entrepreneurs and biologists, showed us how crayons are made and how oil spills are cleaned up, all the while linking the real world to the best in children’s literature. Here’s a look at a few favorite books Levar introduced over the years.
Adults may recognize this as the story of Greg Mortensen, well-known for the bestselling book, “Three Cups of Tea,” about his work building schools in Pakistan. Now young children can learn the story in his new picture book, “Listen to the Wind, The Story of Dr. Greg and Three Cups of Tea.”
A week spent in Oxford recently was reason enough to reread one of the best-known children’s books associated with the city, Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.”
At a recent library storytime, the children, parents, caregivers and I had lots of fun reading new picture books, but I was reminded yet again about the power of old favorites.

Almost all of the major candidates leading the ACT Senate race have heeded a former police officer’s wish for legislative reform promoting easier access to mental health support for emergency service workers.
For then-Australian Federal Police officer Jason Taylor, life changed in an instant when he was attacked and choked from behind during an attempted arrest gone wrong in January 2020.
A PTSD and anxiety diagnosis and self-admission to hospital left him with no other option than to resign from the job he’d loved and held for 14 years.
“It was a very emotional decision, but once I came to the understanding that I’d never be able to do what I wanted to do again, it was an easy one. It gave me a huge sense of relief,” Mr Taylor told Region Media.
After experiencing a complex and unhelpful compensation system following his diagnosis, Mr Taylor began lobbying the Federal Government to implement presumptive mental health legislation for frontline workers under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act.
“Right now, you’re required to prove to Comcare how your work has contributed to your mental health condition and that’s incredibly difficult when you think about something like PTSD because it’s never just one incident,” he explained.
“For example, you have to write a statement outlining all of the terrible things you’ve been involved with … and I can tell you in my career I’ve seen many things which, quite frankly, I wish I hadn’t.”
Mr Taylor noted it’s even more complex for a condition such as PTSD, where the ‘root cause’ is often unknown and not discovered until after therapy.
What’s frustrated Mr Taylor up until now is that his requests have been supported by not only the Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA) and the Territory Government but other ACT politicians, too.
“They all agree it has to change, but no one has done anything about it,” Mr Taylor lamented.
ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Service Mick Gentleman had even written to his Federal counterparts to lobby for the presumptive legislation to be introduced, he confirmed in a letter to Mr Taylor earlier this year.
Now every Senate candidate for the ACT has thrown their in-principle support behind his idea, too.
Incumbent Liberal Senator for the ACT Zed Seselja had previously met with Mr Taylor and said he was “moved” by his story.
“Personally, I’m very supportive of seeing legislation such as this that supports our dedicated first responders,” he said.
Mr Seselja said he understood Attorney-General Michaelia Cash had been working on creating a nationally consistent approach to compensation legislation.
The ACT Government confirmed that it was participating in these Commonwealth-led discussions last year but reiterated that AFP ACT officers would only be affected if federal legislation was amended.
A spokesperson for the ACT Greens said the party supported the principle that if police officers have PTSD “the presumption that it arose from work is reasonable” and subsequently supported amending the Safety Rehabilitation and Compensation Act to make it easier for them to receive compensation.
“We understand that many workers have been frustrated by the Comcare system and support reforms to further support workers,” they said.
Independent Senate candidates David Pocock and Kim Rubenstein echoed these sentiments.
“If elected, I will support AFP members, as well as other emergency service workers, to actively advocate for changes to Comcare laws so that it can be presumed that PTSD or another psychological condition was caused by their employment,” Mr Pocock said.
Professor Rubenstein said she too would be supportive of such measures and having an independent in the Senate would mean ACT issues like this could be taken seriously at a federal level.
United Australia Party candidate James Savoulidis said he believed police officers deserved all the support they could be given.
“I am an advocate for our police force and will always actively seek support to make their jobs and their lives easier,” he said.
ACT Labor did not respond to Region Media‘s request for comment before the deadline.

“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.”

She said cavalierly, “Oh, I’ve read that book. It’s great.” And I just about wet my pants. Because “that book” was my book, and she wasn’t someone that I knew.
With that simple interchange, I realized that all the hard work of creating and producing a book, and yes, the experience of having cancer as a 33-year-old young mother had translated into something transformative. I realized that I had become an author.
Life is like that. You get dealt a crappy hand, and in the moment, you feel as if the world has conspired to bring you to your knees. You might even feel that way for a long time, actually. But eventually, at some point, you will come up for air and realize that yes, indeed, you can breathe. And when you can breathe, you begin to wonder if there is something that can come out of the shit show you have just endured.
It might be a new-found strength. Or an appreciation of things that make you laugh. It might be the love of time. Or a burning desire to Do Something with your life.
I am a writer, and so I used words to Do Something.
That something turned into Nowhere Hair, a children’s book that helps explain a loved one’s cancer diagnosis to little kids. My son, Hans, was just a smidgen over one year old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I was spared having to explain all the craziness to him. But I did come in contact with lots of children in my days as a bald mother, and their stares and confusing glances told me that they didn’t understand. That they were scared.
The book that emerged is upbeat yet honest, as I wished to paint a cancer diagnosis as not the end of the world, but something that is approached with dignity and (hopefully) some style. Edith Buenen, a fashion illustrator from The Netherlands, is the primary reason the book has such a positive feel. Even in the pages that talk about the hardest things (“It makes me scared that she is sick. I want her well right now. She says, “Be patient, little one.” That seems so hard somehow.”), her pictures are lyrical and calming. Yes indeed, mommy is cranky sometimes and wiped out and on the couch. But she is still a mommy first and foremost, filled with love for children. The book explains that children can’t catch cancer, and didn’t cause it to happen. It ends with the universal message that what is inside of us matters far more than how we look on the outside.

There’s no doubt, that Samsung is set to regain their consumers trust after their terrifying Galaxy Note 7 battery exploding fiasco. Rumor has it, that S8 and S8 Plus is shaping up to be VERY impressive! The models are expected to be release around April of this year.
So here’s to everything we know so far, from their next flagship, specs, and price.
Color & Design
According to GSM Arena, their models are going to be available in the colors Black, White, Gold, Silver, and Pink Gold. In terms of design it may render a 5.5 QHD bezel-free display which gives it an amazing touch for a lot of screen space. Protected with Corning’s latest Gorilla Glass 5. Corning states that it’s 4x stronger than their previous series, making the unit scratch resistant and water resistant said to work under 1.5 meter for 30 minutes. It also sounds like they would join phasing out the 3.5mm headphone jack to make room for stereo speakers and a larger battery.
To meet the growing popularity of virtual reality Samsung has finally brought in a more improved 4K video display with an amazing user interface. The resolution gives you an HD display that reaches up to 4096 x 2160 pixels. Showcasing an on-screen button of the device its deemed to be a finger print-sensing display.
Since it’s the rise of dual lens camera, we sense that they would also follow this trend. They will cater a 12 mega pixel dual lens rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera. A 1/2.5″ sensor size, geo-tagging, simultaneous 4K video and 9MP image recording, touch focus, face and smile detection with incremental feature to image quality, low-light focus performance, and focusing speed. Not much details about other features of their beefed-up camera, but we are certain that they have something big up on their sleeves. Maybe we’ll just have to wait and see for now.
We found out that Samsung partnered with Harman Kardon. Harman is known to be a great company with an unmatched audio quality. Adding that to S8 and S8 Plus technology will make their phones audio quality the greatest in the smartphone industry.
Having a lot of features to a phone will require a stunning speed and outstanding performance. So to power the engine, former rumors states that it would run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, but recently there were notions that Exynos 9 processor with ARM’s Mali-G71 GPU chipset will run on their latest Galaxy S series. Add that leaves us with the notion that it will run on a longer and much higher battery life. It will run on a 3250 mAh in S8 and 3750 mAh battery in S8 Plus.
Storage capacities Yet again batteries worries aside
Based on some reports, it will run a 6GB of RAM with 64GB to 128GB of on-board storage, depending on the model. They will also have the option of adding more capacity via micro SD.
Leaks has been flying around that Samsung has been prepping a unique feature. They call it Samsung Desktop Experience, kind of like Continuum does on Windows 10. They will also carry a document editor, photo/video editor, retina eye scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, Qi/PMA wireless charging, and fast battery charging features.
After all the dilly dally, what’s the price range? It’s quite obvious that they need to achieve a high record of sales this year after losing over batter exploding debacle. This might leave us with the assumption that they might increase the cost. Well, you guest that right. According to Deccan Chronicles, these bad boys are said to cost around $950 and $1,050. If that’s the case Samsung users may have a hard time to swallow the cost. Who knows? Samsung may have last minute changes on their price list.


Saints Running Back Jamaal Williams Did the Unthinkable While Eating Crawfish (Video)
One thing that Louisianians take seriously is how others make and consume crawfish. We've seen on Tik Tok, Twitter, and Facebook Louisianians crucify other people for making crawfish the wrong way or eating crawfish the wrong way. And over the weekend Saints fans became furious with newly acquired running back Jamaal Williams. Williams ate crawfish for the first time over the weekend and he consumed the crawfish with barbeque sauce.
Usually when eating crawfish, you're supposed to use dip, a mixture of ketchup, mayo, and hot sauce. Granted some add other things like horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, cajun power, and other things that are personal preference. But for the most part at its core dip is ketchup, mayo, and hot sauce. However, bbq sauce is something that I personally have never seen. Now why did the Saints set up Williams for scrutiny? Honestly, they are to blame for this monstrosity. And social media didn't hold back on Williams or the Saints.
Someone in the Saints organization who's in charge of the crawfish needs to do better. Can't have your players in a bind with the fans over crawfish. But if Williams balls out this will be a thing long forgotten; however, if he's bad this will be something fans remember forever.

Again, just be careful with your loads and be thorough in inspecting for lead build-up and you'll be okay. An aftermarket barrel is a cheaper alternative relative to a new gun. So that route may be more cost-effective for you. Of course, there is absolutely no reason NOT to buy a new gun if you can afford it. ;f Wanna kill these ads? We can help!

LSU apparently losing another player to NFL — DT Tyler Shelvin
BATON ROUGE — Another junior starter on the LSU football team is expected to skip the 2020 season.
Defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin has told LSU coaches he will be leaving the program to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft, Sports Illustrated reported on Monday afternoon.
LSU junior wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase made it official earlier Monday afternoon that he would be leaving. The junior consensus All-American and winner of the Biletnikoff Award in 2019 as the nation's top receiver will not play the 2020 season to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft.
"I would have liked to tell y'all first," Chase said on his Twitter page. "The competitor in me badly wants to play this season and go to war with my brothers, but during this time with so much going on, this is what's best for my family."
Shelvin (6-foot-3, 346 pounds) became a dominating force at nose tackle last season as he started 13 games as a sophomore, making 39 tackles with three for losses amid routine double teams. Shelvin played at Notre Dame of Crowley in 2016 and signed with LSU as a five-star prospect in 2017. He previously played at Northside High in Lafayette.
Shelvin battled weight problems early on at LSU and was red-shirted in the 2017 season. He played in six games in 2018.
Unlike Chase, Shelvin is not considered a sure first-round pick.
"I would rate him as an early second-round pick," NFL Draft expert Mike Detillier of WWL Radio in New Orleans said Monday. "Talented big man, athletic for his size, and he flashes a really good interior push to get into the backfield. But question marks about his weight and conditioning."
Chase is considered a top five pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. He led the nation in receiving yards in 2019-20 with 1,780 — a total that broke the Southeastern Conference record that was set by LSU receiver Josh Reid in 2001 at 1,740.
His 20 touchdowns receiving also broke by two the SEC record of 18 held since 1996 as the Tigers won the national championship with a 15-0 record.
"We are living in such an unprecedented time, and despite the ongoing pandemic, my teammates and I have worked hard this off-season preparing to defend our national championship," Chase said. "I have been fighting these thoughts and concerns that have crept into my mind, but I can't ignore what I feel in my heart. And this is ultimately the best decision for me."
Chase, a native of Harvey in the New Orleans area, signed with LSU in 2018 from Rummel High in Metairie. He is expected to be the top wide receiver taken in the draft on April 29 in Cleveland.
"I'll look forward to returning to the field in 2021," he said. "First and foremost, I have to thank my teammates, coaches, amazing LSU fans, and everyone else who has supported me to this point."

The Spurs have acquired ownership of their practice facility from Medistar Training Facility Ltd., an entity of Houston-based Medistar Corp.
Monday marked completion of the sale, said Rick Zachardy, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Medistar.
Through a team spokesman, the Spurs declined to comment or divulge “any details on the transaction.” Zachardy also declined to reveal how much the Spurs paid.
Medistar is a full-service real estate development company specializing in medical facilities.
The 37,800-square-foot practice facility, which opened in 2002 at a cost of $6 million, sits on 21 acres near the Medical Center off of Huebner Road and Floyd Curl Drive. Built by JE Dunn, the facility includes two full basketball courts, weight and therapy rooms, locker rooms and lounges for players and coaches, office space and media and conference areas.
“We are very proud of the facility,” Zachardy said. “It says a lot about the quality of the product and the cooperation between Medistar and the Spurs that we were able to put something in place that has been so significant to their success. It was an amazing milestone in Medistar’s history.
“We had a very good relationship with the Spurs. They were great guys to work with. I enjoyed all of our conversations and negotiations.”
The opening of the facility ended years of the Spurs shuttling between basketball venues for practice. The gyms the Spurs worked out in before 2002 included HemisFair Arena, Blossom Athletic Center, Incarnate Word College (now the University of the Incarnate Word), Trinity University and the Alamodome.
“For as long as I can remember, we’ve been vagabonds,” Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said in a 2002 story by the Express-News heralding the opening of the practice facility.

Proposal for Bobcat Trapping Season is Indefinitely Postponed
Animal advocates are applauding the state’s decision to postpone a proposed trapping season for bobcats. The state Wildlife Council voted 6-1 Thursday to put the proposal on an indefinite hold.
Corey Roscoe with the U.S. Humane Society applauds the decision. She says the science does not back up harvesting bobcats.
“Bobcats were only removed from Ohio’s endangered and threatened species list less than four years ago, so this proposal seems premature given that the full population study of bobcats has not been concluded yet.”
Roscoe also says public comments and emails to the state show Ohioans are overwhelmingly opposed to the trapping season.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources did not return a request for comment.

This cat is showing off a great find: a Moog MG-1, which was made for the Realistic (Radio Shack) brand in the early 1980s. From Paul Cunningham via Facebook.
Found this Moog at the pawn shop. Already had the cat. Look it’s got all it’s slider knobs!
The slider knobs (and other knobs) do fit the industrial design of the time. And the colorful section borders suggest a precursor to Moog’s current Matriarch series. It is, nonetheless, a fully equipped analog subtractive synthesizer:
Gizo poses with a Moog Little Phatty and a Korg Poly 800. Submitted by J Lugo Miller via our Facebook page.
Why does Gizmo love the Little Phatty and the Poly 800 so much?
Well, they are both fine synthesizers. The Little Phatty started the modern Moog “Phatty” series that includes the Sub Phatty we have here at CatSynth HQ and lives on with the Subsequent 37. And the Poly 800 has a place in the history of MIDI analog synths of the early 1980s.
At a time when Roland was doing well with their Juno-series, KORG countered with a poly-synth of their own in 1983 with the Poly-800. The Poly-800 was comparable to the Juno-106, at the time, with respect to the fact that musicians now had access to affordable programmable polyphonic analog synthesizers (it listed for under $1,000) with memory storage, stable DCOs (digitally controlled oscillators) and a new state-of-the-art technology called MIDI (although there was no SysEx implementation yet).

Betty loves the CS20m
And she is certainly in good company! Long before Yamaha’s dominance in the mid-1980s with the DX series of FM synths, they created the CS series of analog subtractive synthesizers. Although similar in topology to other analog synthesizers of the era, they had their own unique sound and character and were prized by many artists.

(This April 10 story has been refiled to fix typo in ‘aid’ in paragraph nineteen.)
By David Shepardson and Tracy Rucinski
WASHINGTON/CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told major airlines on Friday he wants them to repay some of the $25 billion in cash grants the U.S. Congress approved last month to cover payroll costs as airlines weather an unprecedented crisis due to the coronavirus, three industry officials briefed on the matter told Reuters.
The Treasury said in a statement Mnuchin will not require passenger air carriers that will receive $100 million in payroll assistance or less to provide compensation and “funds will be available promptly upon approval of their applications.”
Reuters first reported earlier on Friday that Treasury would not seek warrants from smaller regional carriers, which had urged the government not to demand compensation.
Mnuchin spoke with the chief executives of major airlines in separate calls on Friday and told them the department was offering 70% of the aid in grants that would not need to be repaid, and 30% in low-interest loans for which the airlines would be required to offer warrants, the sources said. The interest rates would rise over time if airlines had not repaid them, the sources said.
Three people briefed on the matter said the warrants, which would give the government the right to buy equity at a pre-set price and time, would be equal to 10% of the value of the loan.
That means that every $1 billion in government aid would include $700 million in grants, $300 million in low-interest loans and an option for the government to buy $30 million in shares. Two people said the warrants would be priced at current stock prices.
Any of the terms could still be subject to change as talks continue.
Warrants do not generate any balance sheet debt and thus should not hamper the ability of airlines, which can also apply for a separate $25 billion government loan package, to finance in the future, experts said.
Treasury said it is working with 12 passenger air carriers expected to get more than $100 million “to secure appropriate financial instruments to compensate taxpayers.”
The majority of the smaller requests sought less than $10 million and Treasury is not seeking compensation in order to maintain “needed air service,” avoiding layoffs “and limiting share buyback and executive compensation.”
On Sunday, Alaska’a largest regional carrier, RavnAir filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, laying off nearly its entire staff and grounding all of its 72 planes.
Treasury said it received more than 230 requests from passenger carriers.
Airlines were told they could apply for the amount they paid in salaries and benefits in the second and third quarters of 2019. American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O), with the largest number of employees, had said it was seeking around $6 billion.
A United Airlines Holdings Inc (UAL.O) spokesman said the company was reviewing the details of Treasury’s proposal. American Airlines also confirmed it was reviewing the proposal.
Airline boards and officials plan to review the proposals all weekend and it is not clear if they will accept the terms or propose a counteroffer.
Under the terms laid out in the statute, companies receiving funds cannot lay off employees before Sept. 30 or change collective bargaining agreements, two conditions for which labor unions had lobbied aggressively.
The bill bars entities from receiving grants from stock buybacks, or paying dividends before September 2021 and sets limits on executive compensation.
Airline unions and Democrats in the U.S. Congress have pressed Treasury to grant the assistance quickly and without requiring unreasonable conditions on airlines that are struggling.
The choice of grants as a type of support is sensitive in the airline industry after a 2015 spat in which U.S. carriers accused Gulf carriers of receiving $50 billion of aid including grants to set up competing Middle East hubs, a charge they denied.
Under the $2.3 trillion CARES Act, passenger airlines are eligible for $25 billion in cash grants for payroll while cargo carriers can get $4 billion and airport contractors like caterers and airplane cleaners $3 billion, in addition to a separate loan package for which they can apply in the months ahead.
Treasury told the airlines that they plan to charge varying interest rates on the $25 billion in loans based on a risk assessment.
Reuters reported on Thursday that the six largest U.S. airlines — American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N), JetBlue Airways Corp JBLU.N and Alaska Airlines (ALK.N) — are expected to get around 90% of the $25 billion package.
Airlines say they are suffering the worst crisis of their history as travel demand has dwindled to less than 5% of normal levels. Several major U.S. airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks or the 2009 financial crisis.

The Pulse of Color
Spreading out from the galleries walls as if seeping from underneath the Museum’s infrastructure, Polly Apfelbaum’s Split (1998) pulses with color. The sculptural installation’s two—almost touching—forms spread like trickling paint across the floor. The forms and fabric blotted with color remind us of the stained canvases of such Color Field artists as Morris Louis, Dan Christensen, Helen Frankenthaler, and Kenneth Noland, featured alongside Apfelbaum’s work in this exhibition.
Apfelbaum’s Split is a sprinkling of organic shapes of crushed velvet pieces that call to mind stone-like forms or botanical tendrils of color. The amoeba-like form undulates throughout the gallery following the architecture, while the colors fan out across the room like the changing colors of a sunset over time. Together, Noland’s Mysteries: Red Light (1999) and Apfelbaum’s Split demonstrate a dialogue of concentric compositions and attention to color dissolving the differences in media represented.

The mere mention of a “root canal” can send shivers down anyone’s spine. It’s a term often associated with pain and discomfort, yet root canal treatment is a vital dental procedure that aims to alleviate suffering and save a damaged tooth. In this article, we’ll unravel the mysteries surrounding root canal treatment, exploring what it entails, why it’s necessary, and how it can be a path to dental relief.
The Dental Dilemma
To understand root canal treatment, we first need to grasp the nature of the dental issue it addresses. Within your teeth, beneath the enamel and dentin, lies a soft tissue known as the pulp. This pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue, and it plays a crucial role in tooth development.
However, when the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to various factors, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. The primary causes of pulp damage or infection include:
- Deep Tooth Decay: When tooth decay reaches the inner pulp, it can lead to infection.
- Trauma: Physical injury to a tooth can damage the pulp, even if there are no visible cracks or chips.
- Cracks or Chips: Small cracks or chips in the tooth can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection.
- Repeated Dental Procedures: Multiple dental procedures on the same tooth can damage the pulp over time.
The Role of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, often referred to as endodontic therapy, is the dental procedure designed to address and alleviate the issues associated with damaged or infected dental pulp. It is named after the natural cavity within the center of a tooth, which is known as the root canal.
The primary objectives of root canal treatment are:
- Pain Relief: The procedure aims to relieve severe toothache and discomfort associated with pulp infection.
- Preservation: It seeks to save the natural tooth, preventing the need for tooth extraction and preserving its function.
- Preventing Spread: By removing the infected pulp and cleaning the affected area, root canal treatment prevents the spread of infection to the surrounding tissues.
The Root Canal Procedure
Root canal treatment is typically performed by a specialised dentist called an endodontist or by a general dentist with training in endodontics. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the procedure:
- Diagnosis: The dentist starts by taking X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and determine the shape of the root canals.
- Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is administered to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area. This ensures the patient feels no pain during the procedure.
- Isolation: The dentist places a rubber dam around the tooth to keep it dry and free from saliva.
- Access Opening: An access hole is drilled into the tooth to provide access to the root canals.
- Cleaning and Shaping: Using specialised instruments, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp and thoroughly cleans and shapes the inside of the root canals.
- Filling: After cleaning, the dentist fills the root canals with a biocompatible material, typically a rubber-like substance called gutta-percha, to seal the space.
- Restoration: The access hole created in the tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling. In many cases, a crown is placed on the tooth to protect and restore its function and appearance.
Dispelling the Root Canal Myths
Root canal treatment has garnered a reputation for being painful and unpleasant. However, many of the negative associations with root canals are based on outdated information. Today, thanks to modern anesthesia and advanced dental techniques, root canal procedures are generally no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling.
Key facts to dispel common myths about root canal treatment:
- Minimal Pain: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the tooth and surrounding area, minimising pain during the process.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients experience little to no discomfort after the procedure and can resume their normal activities.
- Preservation of Teeth: Root canal treatment is focused on saving your natural teeth, not extracting them.
- Effective: Root canals have a high success rate, and the treated teeth can last a lifetime with proper care.
Aftercare and Maintenance
After undergoing root canal treatment, patients may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and should subside as the tooth heals.
Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, is essential to maintain the health of the treated tooth and prevent further dental issues. Regular check-ups with your dentist will ensure that the tooth remains in good condition and that any potential problems are addressed promptly.
The Path to Dental Relief
Root canal treatment is a crucial and valuable dental procedure that can alleviate pain, preserve natural teeth, and prevent the spread of infection. The negative myths and associations surrounding root canals are often unwarranted in today’s world of advanced dental techniques and pain management.
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, consult with a qualified dentist to assess whether root canal treatment is the right path to dental relief for you. It could be the key to saving your smile and maintaining optimal oral health.

Former psychiatrist Francis Bostock ordered to pay damages to patient he abused
By Julia Medew
December 16, 2014
A Supreme Court judge recently heard former Kew psychiatrist Francis Tudor Bostock breached his duty of care by having sex with and sexually assaulting the woman over three-and-a-half years while she had depression.
The patient first sought Dr Bostock’s help in 1990 for her mental illness, which other treatments had failed to alleviate.
Dr Bostock initially used psychoanalytical psychotherapy on her with some success, but in 1997, the pair started having sex in his rooms whenever she attended.
While the therapeutic relationship ceased when the sex began, Dr Bostock continued to bill Medicare when she visited his rooms until 1998. In total, Medicare paid him $16,464 for their time together.
The woman visited him up to three times a week until she ended their relationship in 2001. Apart from their sexual relationship, they did not interact or socialise outside of his office.
In her judgment on damages, Associate Justice Melissa Daly said the woman fell in love with Bostock and became obsessed with her therapy and feelings about him.
The woman decided to end their relationship when she learnt about the concept of transference in psychotherapy — the process whereby a therapist, in addressing issues associated with the loss of love from a parent, in effect replaces the role of a parent in a patient’s consciousness. This made the woman realise how wrong their relationship was and how Dr Bostock had abused his position of power.
The court heard that during their relationship and for many years afterwards, the woman was consumed by guilt and shame and struggled to work. She became depressed, anxious, untrusting of others and suffered migraines and panic attacks.
In 2005, she started seeing a new psychiatrist, who was angry and appalled by what had happened to her. He told the court that Dr Bostock’s sexual relationship with the woman was a major boundary violation that was equivalent to child abuse.
He said the woman was unable to give rational consent to a sexual relationship with Dr Bostock, that his actions “massively damaged” her and had aggravated her mental illness. She now exhibits elements of post traumatic stress disorder and has dreams and flashbacks about him.
In 2010, the woman reported him to the Medical Board. In response, Justice Daly said, Dr Bostock admitted the relationship and agreed to wind up his practice. His registration ceased in early 2011. He was nearly 70 at that time.
While Dr Bostock declared himself bankrupt last year, seven months after the woman issued a writ against him, Justice Daly ordered Dr Bostock to pay the woman $384,029 in damages.
She said Dr Bostock did not file a defence and “as such is taken to have admitted the allegations in the statement of claim”.
The woman’s lawyer, Slater and Gordon principal Anne Shortall, said her client would pursue compensation when the term of Dr Bostock’s bankruptcy ends in 2016.

I was just eleven-years-old when I, along with many others, obsessively watched my windows, hoping for an owl to pop in with a Hogwarts letter. It never happened and I was truly heartbroken. The realisation that I was not magic as I had hoped, was a tough one. In the years that followed, I still believed the letter was going to come and that I could also go to the place where many of my childhood adventures had taken place. Unfortunately I am still living in a muggle world.
It is amazing how the stories we grow up with manage to stick with us to the very end. Harry Potter is that story for me. I was a child when I started reading it and the books and films were gradually released while I grew up as well. Basically you could say that I grew up with Harry, which is why I don’t really want to let go of the story.
Luckily I won’t have to now, as a brand new edition of the first book has been released. This one is completely illustrated with magical scenes. It truly captures the enchantment the words alone have put on millions of readers world wide. I would very much recommend this book if you enjoy the world of Harry Potter, or if you just love really good art.
The Philosopher’s Stone illustrated edition is available worldwide now. Now the waiting game starts for all the other books to get illustrated editions.

Introduction: In the world of coffee connoisseurs and enthusiasts, the pursuit of the perfect cup extends beyond the brewing process. Proper coffee storage is a crucial step to maintain the pristine flavors and enticing aromas that make your morning ritual exceptional. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or an aficionado, understanding the nuances of coffee storage can significantly enhance your coffee experience. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the intricacies of storing coffee beans to preserve their freshness and elevate your cup of joe.
Why Coffee Storage Matters
Coffee is a complex beverage, composed of hundreds of aromatic compounds that contribute to its distinct flavors. These compounds are volatile, meaning they can easily escape when exposed to factors like air, light, moisture, and heat. Proper storage safeguards these precious compounds, ensuring that each brewing session delivers a rich and flavorful experience.
The Ideal Coffee Storage Conditions
- Airtight Containers: Invest in high-quality, airtight containers made of glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. These containers prevent air from seeping in and causing the coffee beans to go stale.
- Avoid Moisture: Moisture is the enemy of coffee freshness. Choose a cool, dry place for storage, away from humidity sources like sinks and windows.
- Dark and Cool: Store coffee in a dark cupboard or pantry, away from direct sunlight. Exposure to light can cause the beans to degrade and lose flavor.
- Consistent Temperature: Fluctuations in temperature can cause condensation inside the container, accelerating the deterioration of your beans. Aim for a consistent, cool temperature.
- Freezer Controversy: While freezing coffee beans can extend their shelf life, it’s essential to follow strict guidelines. Use airtight bags, freeze in small batches, and avoid repeated thawing and freezing.
Proper Coffee Bean Packaging
- Original Bags Aren’t Enough: The bags that coffee beans come in aren’t ideal for long-term storage. Transfer the beans to airtight containers immediately to prevent exposure to air.
- One-Way Valve Bags: If you purchase freshly roasted coffee beans, they might come in one-way valve bags that release gas while preventing air from entering. These bags are excellent for short-term storage but still transfer beans for long-term freshness.
Coffee Storage Do’s and Don’ts
- Buy Fresh: Purchase coffee beans in smaller quantities to ensure you’re using beans that are as freshly roasted as possible.
- Grind Before Brewing: Whole bean storage is preferred over pre-ground coffee. Grind your beans just before brewing to preserve flavor.
- Monitor Roasting Date: Check for the roasting date on the package and use coffee within two to three weeks of this date for optimal flavor.
- Avoid Clear Containers: Transparent containers may expose your beans to light, which can degrade their quality over time.
- Say No to the Fridge: Coffee beans can absorb moisture and odors from the fridge, leading to flavor degradation.
- Resist Frequent Opening: Every time you open the container, you introduce air and moisture. Minimize opening the container to maintain freshness.
The Role of Oxygen and Degassing
Freshly roasted coffee beans emit carbon dioxide gas as a natural process. This degassing period is critical for achieving the best flavors. While sealing your beans in an airtight container, allow them a few days of rest before brewing. This waiting period lets excess gas escape without losing too many essential aromatic compounds.
The Final Sip: Preserving Coffee Excellence
In the world of coffee, freshness is key. Proper storage methods can preserve the enchanting aromas and nuanced flavors that define your favorite brews. By following these coffee storage tips, you’ll be well-equipped to elevate your coffee experience and savor each sip.
Remember, your journey from coffee bean to cup involves multiple steps, and proper storage is an indispensable part of that journey. Invest in quality containers, keep your beans away from light and moisture, and adhere to the principles of freshness. By doing so, you’ll embark on a flavor-filled adventure every time you indulge in your beloved cup of coffee.

There are several types of professionals who typically diagnose ADHD. These include doctors (especially psychiatrists, pediatricians, internists, and family physicians), psychologists (including school psychologists), social workers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed therapists (for example, professional counselors and marriage and family therapists).
One major question for newly diagnosed people is: Who can prescribe ADHD medications? While all of the professionals listed above can treat ADHD, only certain ones can prescribe medication and do thorough physical evaluations to rule out other possible causes of symptoms. These professionals are doctors (either a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants supervised by a doctor.
Because medication is a key part of ADHD treatment, it is important that all members of your treatment team communicate with each other on a regular basis.
Your Child's Health Care Team
Other members of your child's care team may be nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and other therapists (such as counselors and family therapists).
If your child needs medication, the doctor or nurse practitioner will decide on the medication and monitor symptoms and side effects until the right dose is found. The diagnostic process also should rule out any other disorders that may look like ADHD.
Adult Health Care Team
ADHD in adults is often diagnosed by the primary care doctor, a psychologist, or a psychiatrist.
To diagnose ADHD in adults, the doctor will need a history of the adult's behavior as a child. The doctor may also interview the patient's spouse, partner, parents, and friends, as well as look at the person's records, including report cards and transcripts, to determine if a patient's difficulties have lasted a while. The doctor may also use psychological testing.

Creon is a poor leader, considering his disregard towards his people’s advice. After Creon orders the death of Antigone, Haemon comes to his father to persuade him to change his decisions, Haemon declares, “[Thebes] takes order from one voice”, conveying
During this same conversation, Haemon argues that the people of Thebes themselves do not like the order for Antigone to die. King Creon quickly refutes that “[he is] king, and responsible only to [himself. ]” King Creon believes that he only needs to worry about himself. This shows that King Creon did not realize his full responsibility as king, both to his family and his people. King Creon was too prideful, and did not realize that he must honor the dead, and that he cannot kill his own family for doing it for him.
People might say that his pride was for the good of Thebes. This is totally inaccurate, in the process of “making Thebes better” Creon lost his family and lost the trust of the people of Thebes. Creon had no valid points. Again, his actions were overthrown by his hubris, which was the beginning of his downfall. Not listening to other people and their opinions is not a step to make Thebes a better city.
Antigone Essay Despite the fact that in Antigone, Antigone has many tragic flaws that lead her to her downfall, Creon fits the definition of tragic flaw completely. A tragic hero is a character who experiences a reversal of fortune as a result of hamartia. As the play ends, Creon undergoes a change in belief and attitude as his fate unfolds. In Mythology, tragic heroes usually belong in a high stratum of the society. Creon’s tragic flaws are his stubbornness, foolishness, and egotism, which resulted in him not listening to what his son Haemon and the prophet Teiresias advised him to do and act solely based on his personal opinion.
Consequently, they vocalized their opinions to Creon; making him short-tempered and depressed. He soon gave into peer pressure along with anger and introduced an alternative punishment for the two sisters. Creon said, “Oh, it is hard to give in! But it is worse to risk everything for stubborn pride.” Though he tried to make a change, in the end he was still unhappy because his wife and son died. Ismene would not be punished since she did not commit the crime and Antigone received banishment to a small cell as an alternative to death.
He becomes so blinded and infatuated with his rule and his pride that he fails to consider any other human laws, which could balance the inequality of his rule, and benefit the people of Thebes, demonstrating the detrimental effects of following human law. Sophocles also mentions the name of the king of gods - Zeus, to emphasize the fact that the gods’ king won over man’s king and that the gods are the ultimate authority. Creon did not obey the ultimate authority figures: the gods, and it ultimately lead to his grief and his demise. It is always right to obey authority because disobeying authority will lead to extreme
Additionally, Odysseus never listens to his crew’s ideas, which makes him seem egotistical: “ God sake, captain!/ Why bait the beast again?/ Let him alone!” (408-410) This greatly illustrates how Odysseus shatters his crew’s ideas. It seems that every time his crew gives him an idea of what they could do, he shoots it down. If Odysseus keeps shutting out his crew’s ideas they will eventually boycott him and leave Odysseus. Furthermore, if Odysseus continues being self-centered, he will end up being alone on his journeys. Given these points, Odysseus is very much a hero, however, his has an idiosyncrasy of
Odysseus is now a hero due to the obedience he now has to the gods, founded in a sense of humility. Through Odysseus’ experiences on his journey, he learns the value of obedience and dangers of arrogance and ultimately, become a hero through the lessons learned. Robert E. Lee once said, “Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation
Gilgamesh is a lonely, evil, self-centered ruler who has no humility for man-kind. The people, being fed-up with Gilgamesh and his harsh treatments asked the Gods for help. Enkidu was created and sent down by the Gods to put Gilgamesh in his place and that's what he did, but not in the way the Gods had intended it to happen. Enkidu and Gilgamesh had an altercation during their first meeting, but later bonding becoming inseparable friends recognizing each other as brothers. Through Enkidu's nurturing, Gilgamesh became a good ruler and hero.
Oedipus’s life is bombarded with challenging decisions that lead to the exposure of his few flaws that every human possesses. Sophocles uses the trilogy of plays to examine the relationship between the Gods and man, the idea of fate, and uses Oedipus as an example of harmful traits as a precaution to readers. In ancient greek culture it was believed that fate was an inevitable path that their life was going
