The Incredible Hulk King-Size Special #1, Marvel Comics, 1968, Art by Jim Steranko.
The POP Retro Cover Of The Week continues its examination and celebration of iconic comic covers from the 1970s through the 2000s, this week expanding our coverage back into the 1960s, when Marvel welcoming new talent to its Bullpen, including a young man who, as legend has it, walked in off the streets of New York and immediately got work from Stan Lee.
Jim Steranko had a different way of storytelling, in his own way as bold and innovative and paradigm-shifting as Jack Kirby. His cover to 1968’s The Incredible Hulk King-Size Special #1 was instantly iconic. Perhaps borrowing a page from Will Eisner’s playbook, the Hulk is interacting with elements of the cover itself, holding the beautifully rendered, crumbling stone comic title masthead, like Atlas bearing the weight of the world. At the same time, the combined weight of the Hulk and his burden is crushing the stone ground he stands on, which reads INHUMANS, as a harbinger of his battle with them inside the comic.
It’s a simple concept, executed brilliantly, with wonderful coloring, as well, especially on the Hulk with the highlights and the variations in tones. My only complaint is that every bit of display lettering is hand-drawn, except for BATTLES THE…which is typeset. Its sharpness and unorganic-ness is a single distraction.
There was one controversy on this cover. The editor didn't like Steranko's original drawing of the Hulk's face, and had it redrawn by another artist. I like them both, but see nothing wrong with Steranko's; the Hulk IS a monster after all. The redraw is too handsome and human-looking.
As the POP Retro Cover Of The Week cycles through the decades, rest assured, you haven’t seen the last of Steranko when the Sixties come around again!
Next week: Forward to the groovy, innovative 1970s!

The answer to that question depends on several factors, so let's break them down.
Languishing NL Industries and Ascena Retail Group saw their shares spurt higher on Thursday on positive events.
Let's check out the charts of EMR to see if there might be more risk ahead.
This market's bound by earnings and a virus, and both are astonishingly subjective.
This maker of paints, coatings, and specialty materials looks vulnerable right now.
The latest charts are not the picture of strength.
At least days like today, when we're told the coronavirus has 'peaked,' show us exactly where the coiled springs really are.
Only three of the 12 names in the 2020 Double Net Value Portfolio are in positive territory since inception, with several down by double-digit percentages.
When we get the truth we must recognize it for what it is.
The company needs to continue to reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet.

Scientist creates sheep heart valve in labApril 12th, 2008 - 11:25 pm ICT by admin
Washington, April 12 (ANI): A Wake Forest University researcher has successfully created 18 types of tissue, including a sheep heart valve, in his laboratory.
Dr. Anthony Atala, who is studying the science behind growing new organs, uses cells in a laboratory and an ink-jet printer for the purpose.
“When people ask me ‘what do you do,’ we grow tissues and organs. We are making body parts that we can implant right back into patients,” the Environmental News Network quoted him as telling CBS.
He believes that soon researchers will start growing organs like human hearts in laboratories from a patient’s own cells, doing away with the need for organ donors.
Atala even hopes that the injection of stem cells will facilitate the healing of damaged organs internally, reducing the need for open-heart surgery and other invasive procedures. (ANI)

Turkey’s main opposition complains of “illegal acts” in the referendum as Diyarbakir election officials, under tight security, carry ballots to the electoral board for official canvassing.
ANKARA, TURKEY (APRIL 16, 2017) (REUTERS) – The deputy chairman of Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) said on Sunday (April 16) illegal acts were being carried out in favour of the government, in the country’s referendum on expanding the powers of the presidency.
Erdal Aksunger made the accusation during a news conference in the capital Ankara after vote counting began.
A statement on the High Electoral Board’s (YSK) website hours before polls closed said it would count ballots that had not been stamped by its officials as valid, unless they could be proved fraudulent, citing a high number of complaints that YSK officials at polling stations had failed to stamp them.
In the south-eastern area of Diyarbakir, election officials and their police escorts waited outside the city’s electoral board office under the watch of armed soldiers.
The election officials were carrying bags containing ballots that had already been counted in the polling stations, for the official canvassing to be done in the electoral board office.
With 95 percent of votes counted, the “Yes” campaign lead had narrow from an early wide margin to 51.7 percent of ballots cast.

Churro cookies are a Crumbl cookie copycat. They're crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and topped with cinnamon sugar buttercream. They have a flavor no one can resist.
Just like a churro these cookies are full of that delicious cinnamon sugar flavor from the cookie base to the buttercream. Served warm these cookies will melt in your mouth and keep you coming back for more.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS
- Easy to make! These cookies are made out of simple ingredients, most of which you probably have on hand already. Easy to follow step by step directions, these cookies can be made in under 30 minutes!
- Taste of a cinnamon sugar churro. These churro cookies taste just like the churros we all know and love, just in cookie form! Cinnamon sugar cookie base, a swirl of cinnamon sugar buttercream, with sprinkled sugar on top. Served warm these melt in your mouth.
- Delicious soft cookies. The chocolate cookie base is soft and chewy even once they are chilled. They can be made in advance and served the next day and be just as soft.
There are three parts to this churro cookies recipe; the cinnamon sugar cookie base, the buttercream, and the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon is used within the cookie, the buttercream, and the sugar coating.
- Unsalted Butter: The butter should be still cold but slightly soft. You want to be able to press it and leave a small indent. I usually pull mine out of the fridge and microwave for 4 to 5 seconds. You will use butter for both the cookie and buttercream.
- Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar: The combination of sugars help keep the cookies chewy and soft. You will also use both these sugars in the in the sugar coating as well.
- Eggs: 2 large cold eggs
- Corn starch: This helps the cookies retain their shape and stay soft days after baking.
- Vanilla: Use the good stuff, pure vanilla extract.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda: The leaveners you need for these cookies.
- Salt: This recipe calls for kosher salt.
- Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar combined with butter is the basis of the buttercream.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Only a few tablespoons are needed for the buttercream but it helps immensely with the consistency. If you are in pinch you can substitute milk.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here is how to make Crumbl copycat churro cookies.
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
STEP 2: Combine wet ingredients. In a stand mixer add the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time and mix on a low speed until incorporated. Remember to scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl to insure all ingredients are incorporated.
STEP 3: Add dry ingredients. Add all purpose flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Mix on low speed until just combined scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl.
STEP 4: Portion dough and make cinnamon sugar mixture Using a 4 oz cookie scoop or ⅓ measuring cup, or using a scale portion out 4 oz dough balls and set aside. In a separate bowl combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
STEP 5: Roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar mixture. One by one take the portioned cookie dough and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
STEP 6: Gently flatten cookies and bake. Place about 5 balls of dough on a parchment and using the palm of your hand, press down gently on the top of the dough, so that the dough is about ½ inch thick disk. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are no longer shiny.
STEP 7: Make the buttercream. While cookies finish baking and cool slightly whip up the buttercream. In a stand mixer or medium sized bowl cream the butter and then add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Beat for several minutes until smooth.
STEP 8: Pipe buttercream and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Transfer buttercream to a piping bag and while the cookies are still slightly warm pipe a swirl starting on the outside into the middle. Top with a dusting of cinnamon sugar. Enjoy warm or serve later cooled.
- Make sure the butter you use is cool. Soft enough to press and make a slight indent is all, If the butter is too soft the cookies will not hold their shape as well.
- Do not overbake. Watch your first batch of cookies and check after 9 to 10 minutes. They should no longer be shiny and the middle is set.
- These cookies are yummy warm and cold. Crumbl serves them warm and that's the way I personally love them. I have tried them cold and they are still very delicious.
Yes! Instead of portioning out the dough with a 4 oz ice cream scoop or ⅓ cup portion out to be 2.5 to 3 oz or use a ¼ measuring cup and form into a ball and lightly flatten.
Yes! If you have a Crumbl near you, you know how they are famous for their large bakery style cookies that can be delivered to your house. These churro cookies are ones that I loved and recreated so you can make them anytime you want from home.
Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before piping the buttercream on top. Do not frost the cookies right out of the oven.
STORING AND FREEZING
These churro cookies work great to make ahead of time. Store the cookie base in an airtight container and when ready to serve pipe buttercream and sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping onto each cookie.
Any leftover fully assembled cookies can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
When freezing these cookies allow them to cool completely and freeze in an airtight container for 1 to 2 months.
- 2 sticks or 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and slightly soft
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, cold
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Buttercream
- 1 stick or ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp
- 3 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-4 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
- Make the cookies. Start with butter. The butter should be still cold but slightly soft. You want to be able to press on it and leave a small indent. I usually pull mine out of the fridge and microwave for 4 to seconds. Cut into 1 tablespoon slices and put in stand mixer. with paddle attachment. Cream together slightly on medium/low speed.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and cream on medium/low speed until butter is incorporated. This should take no longer than 1-2 minutes.
- Add vanilla, and the eggs one at a time, mix on medium/low until just incorporated.
- Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients; all-purpose flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix on low until just combined.
- Using a large 4oz ice cream scoop, a ⅓ measuring cup, or using a scale portion out 4 oz round cookie dough balls and set aside.
- In a separate bowl combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. One by one take the portioned cookie dough and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Place 5 cookie dough balls on baking sheet, spread several inches apart. Using the palm of your hand gently press down on the top of the dough so that the dough flattens into about a 1 inch disk.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are no longer shiny. Be careful not to overbake.
- Make the buttercream. While the cookies finish baking and cool for 10-15 minutes make the cinnamon sugar buttercream.
- First cream the butter and then add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Start mixing on low and then once the powdered sugar is incorporated switch to high and beat for several minutes. Stop the mixer and add the heavy cream and continue to mix on high until buttercream is light and fluffy.
- Transfer buttercream to a piping bag and while the cookies are still slightly warm pipe a swirl starting on the outside into the middle of the cookie. Top with a dusting of cinnamon sugar. Enjoy warm or serve later cooled.
If you do not have heavy cream you can substitute milk.

Following immunogenic challenge, germ-free guinea pigs demonstrated appreciably more severe anterior ocular inflammation than conventional animals, which correlated with higher humoral antibody titers. Similarly, germ-free animals demonstrated more severe inflammation when challenged with the toxic agent, acacia. In this circumstance, disease severity correlated with serum γ-globulin levels. These studies readily demonstrate the superiority of germ-free guinea pigs in acute toxicity testing.

Measuring the Percentage of Moisture in Soil Samples
Nov. 4 2022
Why is % moisture important?
The weight of a moist soil consists of the weight of the dry particles of soil plus the weight of the water within the soil. As the water content of a soil varies, the wet weight will also vary, but the weight of the dry soil particles remains constant. That is, there is only one fixed weight of a portion of a dry soil (“dry weight”), but essentially an infinite number of possible “wet weights”, as the water content of the soil changes.
Why do laboratories report soil results on a “dry weight” basis?
The dry weight of a portion of soil is constant. The wet weight of the same portion of soil can vary as the moisture content varies. For this reason, laboratories report analytical results for soil samples on a dry weight basis.
As an example, if the soil concentration of a parameter of interest is expressed on a dry weight basis, it will be constant, regardless of whether the soil sample was collected shortly after a rain event, or during a period of drought. Conversely, if the concentration of the same parameter is expressed on a wet weight basis, e.g. “as sampled”, it will vary depending on the amount of water in the sample (% moisture), i.e., it will be lower on a sample that is wetter.
Dry weight measurements for non-volatile parameters
From an analytical perspective, the key to constant, reproducible and defensible soil results is reporting data on a dry weight basis using accurate moisture measurements on the sample being analysed. One approach to reporting laboratory data on a dry weight basis is to simply dry a soil sample in an oven to evaporate any water within the soil, and then analyze the dried sample.
A significant advantage to this approach is that the dried soil can be crushed, ground and well mixed to achieve a very homogenous blend of dry soil particles, compared to a wet or “as received” sample, which is a heterogeneous mixture of particles and moisture. This allows the laboratory to achieve more consistent replicate analyses since the impact of heterogeneity is not as much of a factor as it would be for tests that analyze soils on an “as sampled” wet basis.
This approach only applies to parameters that are non-volatile and not affected by introducing heat. As an example, metals are, for the most part, non-volatile, and the heat of a drying oven is far below their boiling points, so they remain in the sample upon drying.
Dry weight measurements for volatile and heat-sensitive parameters
For all analyses, it is important to ensure that steps in sample processing do not affect the integrity or change the concentration of the parameter(s) being measured. Hence drying a sample as described above becomes problematic for volatile parameters and those that are heat-sensitive, as the drying step, whether it is performed at room temperature (air drying) or in an oven set slightly above 100 °C, may drive off volatile parameters or chemically/physically alter them.
In this case, the soil must be analyzed “as received” (i.e., wet) to maintain the integrity of the parameter(s) of interest. A separate aliquot of the homogenized wet soil is analysed to determine the % moisture, and the wet weight is converted to a dry weight for calculating the parameter concentration. In other words, the contribution of water to the weight of a wet sample aliquot can be subtracted out, giving a final result that would be equivalent to a result that had been obtained had the sample been analyzed dry, but avoiding parameter loss due to a drying process.
It is notable that the analysis of heterogeneous mixtures decreases the precision of the analyses. Therefore, it is important to maximize the accuracy and precision of the % moisture determination so that it does not contribute to the measurement uncertainty introduced by sample heterogeneity.
The value of accurate % moisture determinations
For regulatory compliance and as an industry-accepted best practice, soil results are reported on a dry weight basis. This ensures consistency and comparability of the data, regardless of when the samples were collected, differing amounts of water in different aliquots of the same sample or who analysed the sample. Hence, it is important to accurately and reliably measure % moisture on a separate aliquot of each sample being analysed that cannot be air or oven dried.
High organic content soils (e.g. peats or muskegs) often contribute biogenic (naturally occurring) hydrocarbons, that are not fully removed using standard extract clean-up protocols, in samples being analysed for petroleum hydrocarbons, thereby potentially biasing the results high.
Peats and muskegs typically result in % moistures > 40% and in some instances, up to 85-90% from some Alberta and British Columbia muskegs. If you are measuring petroleum hydrocarbons in soils for compliance purposes, and the % moisture is >40%, contact the laboratory to evaluate the hydrocarbon chromatograms for possible bias due to biogenic hydrocarbons.
It may mean the difference between non-compliance and compliance.

Teachings of Gautam Buddha ( Lord Buddha)
The earliest source from which the teachings of Gautama Buddha or the contents of early Buddhist religion are available is the Buddhist ‘Pitaka.’
Pitaka is divided into three parts—
- Sutta Pitaka,
- Vinaya Pitaka and
- Abhidhamma Pitaka.
The Sutta Pitaka
The Sutta Pitaka consists of five Nikayas or groups. In later periods, the Sutta incorporated various interpolations, and this had been introduced by Buddha’s disciples.
So what we derive from the Sutta may not be wholly the fundamental teachings of Buddha or his religion.
Four Noble Truths (Chatvari Arya Satyani)
Buddha advised his disciples to pursue some practical methods in order to arrive at truth and happiness. That is why he asked them to follow Four Noble Great Truths. These are known as ‘Chatvari Arya-Satyani’ :
- Firstly, sorrows and sufferings afflict human soul. For his existence on earth man has to undergo these sufferings.
- Secondly, thirst, desire and attachment make it possible for man to retain existence on earth, but these are the root causes of his sufferings.
- Thirdly, the destruction of thirst and desire leads to the destruction of sorrows and sufferings.
- Fourthly, there are ways to effect a destruction of sorrows.
Astangika Marga – The Eight Fold Path
Buddha explained properly the causes of human sufferings. He advocated ‘Astangika Marga’ or Eight-fold path to be followed by man if he was to be relieved of his sufferings. These are:
(1) Right Belief;
(2) Right Action;
(3) Right Speech;
(4) Right Thought;
(5) Right Living;
(6) Honest Efforts;
(7) Right Recollection; and
(8) Right Meditation.
The eight-fold path is also called the Middle Path (Majhjhim Patha), because, Buddha was on the one hand, opposed to living a life of pleasure by the Brahmins, while on the other hand, he disapproved the life of severe penance and self-chastisement lived by the Jains. He discarded the extremes of both religions and adopted the Middle Path.
Stress on Non-Voilence ( Ahimsa)
Like Mahavira, Buddha put great stress on non-violence (Ahimsa) in regard to living creatures. He believed in the purity of all living beings. He said that it was not man only, but the birds and beasts also that are to be loved. But unlike Mahavira, He ceased going too far with his doctrine of non-violence. He never preached that man to get deeply concerned over such things as trees, stones, etc.
Buddha kept silent over the existence of God, for he was averse to seeing his precept become the centre of much controversy. Buddha deemed it wise to keep silent over these issues. He did neither deny explicitly the existence of God, nor did he think that God was absolutely necessary for the attainment of Nirvana.
Buddha, like Mahavira, was opposed also to the performance of costly rites in which large number of animals was sacrificed. On the contrary, he condemned those ceremonies. He was opposed to the precedence of the Vedas and superiority of the Brahmins. He believed that for attainment of salvation (Nirvana) no arrangement for outward and ostentation rituals was necessary.
Caste System Condemned
Buddha was well aware of the fact that caste system was highly detrimental to the solidarity of Hindu society. He condemned the system. In his opinion, social discrimination should not apply to birth, but to ethical nature of job a person generally does in his life. A wicked man should stand condemned in spite of his being Brahmin by caste. On the other hand, a Sudra should be praised, for his noble deed. Buddha preached this teaching with avid interest.
Attainment of Nirvana
In Buddha’s opinion, the main goal of human life is the attainment of Nirvana, that is, complete emancipation of the individual soul. Nirvana is that stage where man emancipates himself from the regular cycle of life and death. Any man, irrespective of caste and creed, can attain this perfect bliss and happiness, provided that he leads an honest life and follows the ‘Astangika Marga’ or Eight-fold path.
Theory of Rebirth or Karma
Buddha believed in the theory of Rebirth and Karma. Good or evil consequence of an action builds or destroys future of a man. Our past action influences our present life which in rebirth casts its spell on the next birth. No man secures exemption from the consequences of his action. If a man sows the wind, be must reap the whirlwind. In this case, Buddha accepted the doctrine of Karma preached by the Hindus.
Code of Conduct
Buddha laid special stress upon pure moral life and honest dealing of a man. One should be sincere about one’s thought, speech and action. He prescribed for his disciples a code of conduct. His main instructions are:
(1) Do not covet other’s property;
(2) Do not tell a lie;
(3) Do not kill any living being;
(4) Refrain from drinking liquors;
(5) Do not participate in singing and dancing;
(6) Do not use flowers and perfumed goods;
(7) Do not receive money and save it, etc.
Thus Buddha left instructions according to which his disciples would behave in practical life. He attached no importance at all to any doctrine or philosophical speculation. In his opinion, these are irrelevant to man’s spiritual upliftment.
Buddhism is not a New religion
Buddhism is not a new religion, but a new revelation which the great teacher was preaching. Buddha can hardly be said to have had or to have taught a religion properly so called. Buddha was not a messenger of God. He only tendered certain moral instructions to his followers and disciples. These are right belief, righteous spending of life and honest deeds which are the ruling principles in all religions. He preached no new religious beliefs; no religious rites, no new philosophy. He advised pursuit of Eight-fold path so that man can get rid of all worldly sufferings and the desire for all worldly enjoyments. The implications that in here the `Astangika Marga’ or Eight-fold path is basically ethical. Other religious preachers who were Buddha’s contemporaries preached the similar moral teachings.
Protest against the rites and practices of Vedic Hindu Religion
Buddhism appeared as a protest against the rites and practices of Vedic Hindu religion. That is why some European scholars describe it as Protestant Hinduism. But Buddhism, despite its protestant character, denied the main principles of Hinduism. The non-human origin of the Vedas, the existence of gods and goddesses, and of heaven—all these are denied in Buddhist religion. Buddha organized Sangha and intended to keep his followers apart from the Hindus.
Influence of Upanishads on Buddhism
The influence of the Upanishads on the fundamental principles of Buddhism can not be denied:
The Upanishad doctrines relating to Re-birth and Karma such as – consequence of one’s own action, especially of a previous life, influenced deeply the Buddhists religious teaching.
Moreover, Buddhism, at the very beginning, preached the doctrine of the emancipation of individual soul from worldly sufferings. That is why Buddha had prescribed pursuit of Eight-fold path. He did not preach the doctrine of collective emancipation. This made the Hindu philosophers criticize Buddhism.
Mahayana School of Religion
In consequence, the Mahayana School of religion arose. The latter emphasized the liberation from worldly bondage of all human beings (Sarbastibad). It was described as Mayayanism as it attempted to reach a higher goal. In the original Buddhist thought, importance to the emancipation of individual soul was attached and, its aim, therefore, was narrower than that of Mahayanism. It is called Hinayanism. Besides, the followers of Mahayana school accepted, as naturally as the Hindus, Sanskrit as the medium of their religious teachings.
In Buddhist religion, much importance was attached to the doctrine of non-violence (Ahimsha). The Upanishadic literature although referring to the principle of non-violence, did not prescribe its wide-spread application. The Buddhist followers of Mahayana school, in later periods, introduced worship of Bodhisattva (Great Buddha) and his image. Nevertheless, they remained apart from the Hindus by their establishment and organization of the Sangha. But in course of time, Hinduism almost absorbed Buddhism.

“Now that the federal government has announced an emergency funding package and Ontario has its first possible case of community transmission, the Ford government must share details about Ontario’s readiness to deal with an outbreak.
This is a rapidly evolving situation, and we must know the government is prepared to respond to the worst-case scenario and protect the most vulnerable.
After a series of cuts to public health, Ontarians need confidence that the province’s response to COVID-19 will not be hampered by an austerity agenda.
I urge the Ford government to provide clear information about the resources it is prepared to allocate towards:
- Scaling up testing capacity for COVID-19 at existing and new testing facilities;
- Responding to an influx of COVID-19 patients in hospitals and expanding the capacity for treatment;
- Increasing Ontario’s inventory of personal protective equipment and critical care supplies;
- Protecting vulnerable populations at long-term facilities and homeless shelters who are at heightened risk of getting sick; and
- Keeping healthcare workers on the frontlines of the virus healthy
As we brace for the potential spread of COVID-19 in Ontario, we need assurances that the government will take every step to keep us safe.”

TORONTO, ON – Public school funding announced today by the Ministry of Education will leave students behind and speed up the closure of schools across Ontario, says Fred Hahn, President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario.
“The minister said she wants to support student achievement and well-being, but her announcement makes it clear the government is ramping up its effort to force potentially hundreds of school closures across the province,” says Hahn. “Taking kids out of their local schools, which are the hearts of their communities, hurts student well-being. Forcing kids in rural communities to endure ever longer bus rides because of school closures will impact student achievement. The government is making these short-sighted decisions based on deeply flawed utilization numbers, and Ontario’s students deserve better.”
The education ministry’s funding is based on a formula for “utilization” rates in schools. A recent report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows the funding formula is deeply flawed and the ministry is not accounting for a number of key uses of school space. Today’s announcement included another push to close schools across Ontario by the Minister, even though the government just announced it will be consulting on the use of schools as community hubs.
“How can you say you’re committed to consultations on community hubs while you’re aggressively closing the very buildings that would house those hubs,” said Hahn. “That makes no sense.”
Today’s release by the Ministry of Education of the Grants for Student Needs also failed to address chronic underfunding of special education. In fact, it will mean less special education funding for 38 school boards.
“Almost 80 percent of school boards already have to spend more on special education than the ministry provides. Despite this board-level commitment, students and families continue to wait years for support. Many students with learning disabilities never get the support they need,” said Terri Preston, chair of CUPE Ontario’s School Board Workers Coordinating Committee. “Let’s be honest, this continued shortfall in provincial funding is hurting student achievement.”
CUPE Ontario will continue its call for a moratorium on school closures until there is a full public consultation and review of the funding formula. It will also continue working with coalition partners to ensure the ministry provides adequate funding for special education.
“Investing in public education builds a better Ontario for future generations,” said Preston. “Our members are standing up and demanding our schools receive the provincial funding they need so students can succeed and we can maintain these valuable public assets in our communities.”
CUPE is Ontario’s community union, with members providing quality public services we all rely on, in every part of the province, every day. CUPE Ontario members are proud to work in social services, health care, municipalities, school boards, universities and airlines.

The effect of cigarette and alcohol consumption on birth outcomes
Abstract: This paper uses Danish survey and register data to examine
the effect of maternal inputs on child health at birth. The paper adds to
the literature in several ways: First, while previous studies mainly have
focused on maternal smoking, this paper factors in a larger number of
maternal health behaviors, most importantly prenatal alcohol consumption.
Second, it uses prenatal maternal reports on inputs and objective
administrative data on child outcomes. Both features of the data reduce the
threat of recall bias and measurement error. Third, the paper identifies
the effect of health behaviors by exploiting variation between siblings.
The results of the paper confirm and extend earlier findings. Maternal
smoking decreases birth weight and fetal growth, with smaller effects in
sibling models. The negative alcohol effect on birth outcomes is pronounced
and remains intact in sibling models. Both effects suggest a dose-response
relationship. Robustness checks suggest that the sibling sample represents
the population of multiple mothers well and that smoking results are not
driven by misclassification of smoking status.

MANILA, Philippines --- The Philippine Air Force has chosen to acquire the Black Hawk helicopter as replacement for the canceled combat utility chopper deal with Canada, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.
The Defense chief said the Air Force is looking to sign the acquisition deal of 16 choppers by next year. The military will also be purchasing new attack helicopters from Turkey.
"I think finally the Air Force technical working group has come up with a recommendation that the Black Hawk is the best option that they will buy," Lorenzana told reporters at the sidelines of a forum in Makati City Friday.
Global aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin, through its helicopter unit Sikorsky, earlier offered the Black Hawk helicopter to the Air Force.
Other options considered were the AgustaWestland AW139, the Korea Aerospace Industries' Surion utility helicopter and Canadian-made Bell 412.
"We have limited money for that. We have only $240 million worth and the original pricing of this aircraft for the (Bell 41) we can get 16," Lorenzana said.
"Initially, the Surion we can get 10 because of the money and also the Black Hawk," the secretary said, adding that the manufacturers of the Black Hawk changed its offer so that the Philippines could get 16 choppers.
Lorenzana also confirmed that the Air Force will be acquiring attack helicopters from the Turkish Aerospace Industries.
"Its name is also 'ATAK' it's an attack helicopter... I think we can only get less than 10, maybe eight," Lorenzana said.
International online magazine The Diplomat earlier reported that the Philippines has identified the T129 ATAK multirole combat helicopters to address the requirements of the Philippine military.
The upcoming government-to-government deal between the Philippines and Turkey would serve as a landmark deal for the defense relationship between the two countries, according to the report.
Philippine officials, however, have yet to formally announce the deal.

Presumably there are enough CPUs culled from 8 core viability to meet orders for 4 and 6 core BDs. If there was a mad rush for 4100s and they needed to make 4100s out of chips with all 8 cores usable to meet orders , THEN you would have a situation where 4100s might be able to fully unlock to 8 cores. This is exactly the same way current AMD proccessors are binned as 4 or 2 (and 6/3)core units using the same die. My 555 is a 955 with a flaw in 1 core. It was programmed to operate using 2 good cores- but I can open up the other 2- one of them having errors.
Ask yourself, why would AMD deliberately waste that much silicon, I could see them lasering off bad core to make 6 cores and 4 cores. but why waste the silicon to make a 4core ? Hell it doesn't make any sense, you get nearly double the yield per wafer making dedicated 4 core 2 module cpu's by going the way I suggested, so yields would be better period.
I really doubt AMD is going to make unlockable 4 cores, 6 cores however I fully expect to be fialed 8cores. just from a layout perspective.
your counter point makes no sense. as a manufacturer, I wouldn't do it, why would AMD ? thats a waste of money.

In July 1863, a significantbattle in the Civil War was fought. Sergeant William H. Carney, an officer of the newly formed Massachusetts Fifty-fourth Regiment -- comprised entirely of African Americans -- led his soldiers over the ramparts of Fort Wagner, where Union soldiers charged the Confederates. As the soldiers fought, they gained strength from the stars and stripes of the American flag, Old Glory. It was Carney's vow to never let Old Glory touch the ground, and despite several gunshot wounds, he was able to rescue the flag from the fallen bearer. Carney held the flag high as a symbol that his regiment would never submit to the Confederacy. The battle of Fort Wagner decimated the Fifty-fourth Regiment, but Carney's heroism that night inspired all who survived.
Catherine Clinton's historically precise text paired with Shane Evans's rich illustrations creates a remarkable account of one of the most memorable battles in Civil War history.

Now, he takes to the breach once more in Aliens of the Deep, an often-incredible, sometimes-annoying 3-D IMAX adventure that finds Cameron seeking out the creepy crawlies that teem around the ocean bottom's heat vents.

We still have a bit of Golden Globes-related red carpetry opinion-forming to do, but before we plunge into the high tension of the pre- and post-GG events, let’s all take a moment with Lupita, quietly moving on to the next phase of awards season.
The New York Film Critics’ Circle Awards is a dressy but not formal event. We say that because her styling here – purple eyeshadow aside – is somewhat uncharacteristically low key. The dress, however, is anything but. Lupita can work pretty much any color on the spectrum and has a special knack for the brightest and boldest hues, but between this dress and Charlize’s, we really hope these shades of brilliant green don’t become too trendy. Miss L (and her sister walking the runway below) aside, it’s a really hard color to make work, and as Charlize has already demonstrated, a lot of pale ladies who shouldn’t be anywhere near it are going to get talked into it. Leave it to the ladies who were born to wear it, we say. She looks fabulous. But we find ourselves wishing for one statement piece of gold jewelry.

Get paid to learn and work in the Feather River Watershed!
Feather River Land Trust (FRLT) is proud to announce an internship opportunity for one local student age 18-26 interested in gaining real world experience in natural resource managment, land conservation, outdoor education, and community outreach.
This paid summer employment program is in partnership with the California Council of Land Trusts. Feather River Land Trust was one of four California land trusts selected to participate in the Land Trust Training and Apprenticeship Program.

Land Trust Training & Apprenticeship Program: The Land Trust Training and Apprenticeship Program, is an opportunity for young adults, ages 18-26, to get paid for on-the-job training working with organizations dedicated to environmental, land and water conservation programs and causes.

These protected lands enhance the local economy, provide educational opportunities, and improve environmental and public health.
Feather River Land Trust Internship description: One intern will be selected to work with the Feather River Land Trust and to assist with all aspects of land trust operations from natural resource restoration, field monitoring, record keeping, communication, event planning, land protection, and fundraising.

TSL staff and insiders have told us that Braxton Burmeister might’ve been the Hokies’ best quarterback last year. Praise was doled out for a player whose accuracy, speed, and aggression made him a scout-team thorn in the defense’s side. This year we’re hearing more of the same as he challenges for a starting gig.
Burmeister is at Tech now because he was thrown into the grinder during Willie Taggart’s one-year stand with Oregon. Hometown golden boy and future first-round QB Justin Herbert went down with a broken collarbone and his backup got a concussion against Cal, leaving Burmeister as the next man up. Burmeister was a coveted Parade All-American who had been studying film with his father (a former pro DB) since he was eight, who had been tutored by former Howard head coach Steve Wilson and former San Francisco 49er Jeff Garcia, and who had former Oregon great Akili Smith as a mentor. The physical tools were there, too. He was timed in high school in the 4.6-4.7 range on the 40-yard dash, chucked a pretty deep ball, had nice touch, and hit targets on the sprint-out. Oregon was his dream school, and after his commitment fans were talking of Heismans and national titles.

There was once a time when the London Underground was used for more than just passengers travelling from A to B across the capital.
In fact, it's had many alternative uses throughout history, including being an air raid shelter during the war and a place that many people who came to the UK on Empire Windrush stayed temporarily when they first arrived in London.
It also used to be used to transport mail around.
For more news and features about London directly to your inbox sign up to our newsletter here .
Mail Rail, formerly the Post Office Railway, operated from 1927 until 2003 to move mail around between postal sorting offices. It was like the London Underground but for envelopes rather than people.
Mail Rail's line ran from Paddington Head District Sorting Office to the Eastern Head Sorting Office in Whitechapel, a distance of 6.5 miles.
The line was first used for Christmas parcels in 1927 and letters were carried on it from February 1928.
Many years passed but, as time went on, sorting offices were relocated, so there were only a few stations left by the time the line was nearing closure.
Then in April 2003, Royal Mail sent out a press release saying the railway would be closed at the end of May that year. It had previously been reported that using the line was five times more expensive than using road transport for the same task.
As well as the generic Mail Rail experience open to the public to experience this fascinating history there's an extra special chance for those interested to see even more of this historical system.
It's worth noting that the Mail Rail experience has been closed during the coronavirus pandemic, but with any luck it will reopen soon.
If you were lucky enough to get involved in the Sponsor a Sleeper program, you get the chance to explore these incredible tunnels and go and see the sleeper you sponsored three times over the course of five years.
Included in the price is three visits for you and a guest to the tunnels. You also get a ride on the Mail Rail each time you go.
Then again, you'd expect plenty of benefits when sponsors had to pay £300 for a sleeper.
So if you didn't manage to do the sponsoring, in which the sponsor gets their own plaque attached to the train they're sponsoring, you'll have to find someone who was successful and ask them if you can be their guest.

This year the varsity baseball team has won seven games, lost seven games, and tied one.
Currently holding the position of right field, two year varsity player senior Spencer Gutterman has been playing baseball for nine years.
Gutterman said that his favorite part of playing on the team is getting to play with juniors because they are funny, good at baseball, and push him to do better.
While on the Varsity team, Gutterman learned that he is legally blind.
“Baseball allowed me to see that I was blind, as strange as that sounds,” Gutterman said. “I wear correctional vision contacts and they allow me to see in baseball. Once I figured that out I started playing baseball better.”
Three year varsity player senior Ryan Nakamura has been playing baseball for 13 years and currently holds positions as catcher and in-field.
“[My favorite part of the being on the team is] experiencing the joy of competition and playing along side your brothers that [I’ve] grown up playing with all [my] life through little league.”
Nakamura said that the highlight of this season for him was hitting a walk off against Mt Eden.
“We won that game and we had a barbeque after,” Nakamura said.
The baseball team is supportive of one another and the players give each other advice, Nakamura said.
“We all cheer each other on,” Nakamura said. “If one of us is down or making errors we will get on each others’ cases, like constructive criticism. We’ll pump them back up if they’re down and we’ll get their energy and spirit back up.”
Nakamura and Gutterman said that their goals of the season are to win league and NCS.
Freshman Andrew Meredith, with 10 years of baseball experience, joined the JV team this year. His favorite part of playing on the team is bonding and becoming close with his teammates.
“My favorite part of the season was when we beat Bishop O’Dowd six to four,” Meredith said.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A total of 56 migrant workers in 2017 and 27 between January and April this year were ordered to leave Taiwan for driving or riding electric bikes under the influence, according to a statement released by National Immigration Agency (NIA) on May 4.
Among the deported, Vietnamese took up the lion’s share, accounting for 70 percent, followed by laborers from Indonesia and Thailand.
The NIA Tainan Branch pointed out that a female Vietnamese surnamed Nguyen working in a Tainan factory was caught red-handed riding an electric bicycle while intoxicated from a gathering with friends during the Tomb Sweeping Festival in April, the NIA statement said.
Nguyen was convicted and sentenced to two months in prison, which could be commuted to fines. Just when she thought the case would be settled after paying the fine, she was petrified to find that her work permit and residence permit had both been revoked, and thus she was due to be deported from the country.
According to NIA officials, most migrant workers in Taiwan are not aware that drunk riding an electric bike – a popular transportation means among the group – is a criminal offense until being caught, reported CNA.
The issue has come to the attention of the NIA as the agency is receiving a rise of notices from the Ministry of Labor indicating the cancellation of work permits for a growing number of migrant laborers due to DUI charges.
