Apple unveiled in prime time on Monday night
new television ads for the Macintosh — a marked departure from the company’s iPod and iTunes advertisements, which have dominated its TV marketing budget for some time.
The ads feature two actors standing in front of a white background. “Hello, I’m a Mac,” says a man dressed casually in a pair of jeans, sneakers, t-shirt and sweatshirt.
“And I’m a PC,” says a man dressed in business gear and looking decidedly more nerdy.
The actors then demonstrate the similarities and differences of Mac and PC use, emphasizing that they can work together — although usually there’s some joke at the PC’s expense, such as spontaneously freezing up or contracting viruses.
Apple’s Web site shows six ads in total — all of them are available for review using your Web browser and QuickTime. The ad page on Apple’s Web site also link to other promotional pages that help potential Mac buyers understand the benefits of Mac ownership, or decide which Mac model is right for them.

Freddie is quite simply soul singing royalty, but despite all of his star studded history is one of the most humble and unassuming chaps you're ever likely to meet! Pure class - we love you Freddie!!

Failed Republican 2016 gubernatorial candidate and wealthy New Jersey transplant Greg Gianforte is vying for Montana’s one congressional seat—open since Donald Trump appointed former Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., as secretary of the interior.
Gianforte, who in 2011 sold his tech company RightNow to Oracle for $1.5 billion, has made hefty donations to various right-wing causes and conservative Christian organizations in Montana and around the country through his family foundation. On top of donating more than $1.1 million to organizations that actively try to suppress LGBTQ rights, such as the Montana Family Foundation and the Family Research Council, Greg and Susan Gianforte have been vocal opponents of any sort of legal protection for the Montana LGBTQ community.
In 2014, some Bozeman residents encouraged the city to adopt an ordinance ensuring that landlords and businesses couldn’t refuse housing or employment to someone based on their sexual orientation. Even though the city commissioners were not working on a nondiscrimination ordinance (NDO) at the time, Susan Gianforte was the first up to speak out against it at a city commission meeting, saying “business owners don’t want a non-discrimination ordinance” because they’re “afraid of being boycotted, picketed, trashed, sued and otherwise threatened.”
Speaking alongside Susan Gianforte were men who argued that Christians shouldn’t be forced to do business with anyone whose behavior they found disagreeable, that there’s no evidence that gay people are discriminated against because most gay people are rich and well-educated, and that “homosexuals were alcoholics and drug addicts” who are “standing on a bridge, looking to commit suicide.”
As the city progressed with an ordinance, Greg Gianforte tried to get Bozeman to add a religious exemption to the NDO so Christian business owners wouldn’t have to provide wedding services—or any other services—to LGBTQ Montanans, saying the ordinance “puts in law not so much elimination of discrimination, but forces participation.” Gianforte met privately with city commissioners and even drafted new language, which was eventually adopted into the ordinance, that protected some anti-LGBTQ businesses if they felt that their faith prohibited them from providing a service.
During Gianforte’s failed 2016 gubernatorial run, he said he favored NDOs for employees but not customers and that while NDOs “have never been used” in Montana, “they add the threat of increased cost for businesses.” When asked directly about enacting an NDO, Gianforte would only repeatedly say “I think discrimination is wrong” and then try to pivot to the economy.
Both Greg and Susan Gianforte used their experience as business owners to try and make the economic argument against protecting their LGBTQ neighbors from discrimination. But that argument is wrong by any measure.
North Carolina’s anti-LGBTQ law is projected to cost the state $3.76 billion over the next dozen years as businesses, organizations, and entertainers leave or refuse to hold events there. When then-Gov. Mike Pence signed Indiana’s anti-LGBTQ law in March 2015, it only took until January 2016 for Indianapolis to lose $60 million in revenue.
As a member of Congress, Gianforte would have an even bigger platform to push his anti-LGBTQ views across the country.

East St. Louis, IL…State Representative Kevin Schmidt extends his support and appreciation to the Little Bit Foundation for its recent initiative benefiting elementary school students at Annette Harris Officer Elementary School in East St. Louis. Through the foundation’s efforts, approximately 300 students at the school received free coats and books, helping to nurture both their bodies and minds.
“The work of the Little Bit Foundation exemplifies the spirit of community and compassion,” said Rep. Schmidt. “By providing coats and books to elementary students at Annette Harris Officer Elementary School, they are not only addressing immediate needs but also nurturing a love for learning that will benefit these children for years to come. I extend my wholehearted support to their mission and applaud their dedication to the well-being of our youth.”
There is now a strong partnership between the school and the Little Bit Foundation. At the heart of the Little Bit Foundation’s efforts is a dedication to comprehensive support for students and their families. Through initiatives like the distribution of coats and books, as well as the provision of case managers for wellness and family support, the foundation aims to create an environment where every child at Annette Harris Officer Elementary School feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
There is also now a boutique on the second floor of the school where students can request various items including coats, uniforms, toiletries, and more.
Rep. Schmidt’s support for the Little Bit Foundation’s initiative highlights his commitment to equity, access, and opportunity for all residents of East St. Louis. He seeks to foster a community where every child in the district, and state, has the resources and support they need to thrive.

Debate? Discussion? Nah. just conditioned reflexes from the tap room. I think that fact that your pals have "liked" your response proves my point. A cosy but irrelevant coterie of old codgers trotting out their prejudices to a more or less empty room
Then offer some debate and discussion then rather than sniping and snide personal comments.
Entering this topic is like entering a 1950s pub...a bunch of typical last-century class-war labour lags sitting in their smoke-filled corner whining to themselves about price of mild and Woodbines whilst their working class heroes take the ###### out of them by flipping their second mansions.
Do you actually read the posts on here or just read the topic title and respond to what you imagine people would say if they conformed to your imagined image? There is often very little correlation between your responses to what has actually been said.
I think the topic is too narrow. The last decade has seen a real explosion in the media and politicians encouraging intolerance, after all it sells more papers and gets more headlines to highlight how bad those who aren't like us really are. It's not just against other races either, it's everything from benefit "scroungers" to immigrants coming here stealing all our benefits and jobs at the same time, to anything that comes from the EU while ignoring anything good, to attacking corporate greed while doing exactly the same themselves, to deliberately misrepresenting anything done by muslims, to pigeon-holing every jew as responsible for Israel's actions, to destroying the reputation of people because they don't agree with headline policies. I could go on all evening...
A very good example of it all was last year when the Daily Mail attacked Ed Miliband's dad for hating Britain for writing one line in his diary yet it was apparently not relevant that the Mail's owners around the same time were from the generation that openly supported and promoted Nazi ideals.
We're being encouraged to pick a side and hate the other side regardless of the truth that there's usually two valid sides to most things and life isn't as black and white as the numpties would have us believe. We're all humans, some of us have ancestors that got a better sun-tan than others, your choice of religion is usually down to where you or your ancestors were born. Attacking someone simply because of their religion, colour or country of birth is just as daft as hating someone because they were born a woman or blue eyed or broke their leg in an accident.
We're often encouraged to discriminate against others because we're strapped from cash, our NHS is overloaded or our country is full and cannot afford any more benefits. Unfortunately, that nice Mr Cameron made a mistake earlier this year and told the truth that we're actually a very wealthy and privilieged country. We have one of the lowest corporate taxation schemes in the world to the point that US companies are jumping ship to headquarter here rather than many tax exile countries, yet apparently it would be grossly unfair to punish companies by making our taxes the same as our other G7 competitor countries. We pay less in overall healthcare for our NHS than any other G7 nation yet the savaging of the NHS continues and the war is won in public perception that it's grossly inefficient and over-funded. We have one of the lowest population densities yet you'd think we lived in a concrete country going by the "we're full" comments of the anti-immigrant bunch. Immigrants keep our country going and have provided the backbone of our NHS and other industries for generations now yet immigrants are treated like they're ALL scrounger layabouts. We have a rising incidence of mental health problems in our country yet budgets are being cut and public perception is being directed by the government and media that these scroungers should just suck it up and stop claiming benefits. We are giving out more food parcels to genuinely needy people than ever before, people are actually starving and unable to afford to both heat their houses and eat, often neither, because of a deliberate campaign against scroungers through benefit sanctions.
And the politicians with the media that laps it up are happy to vilify every one of these groups, encouraging us to hate.
Just for the benefit of posterity, here's what Cameron said this year:
"My message to the country today is this. Money is no object in this relief effort, whatever money is needed for it will be spent. We will take whatever steps are necessary. We are a wealthy country and we have taken good care of our public finances".
That, to me at least, has to be post of the year. I don't recall seeing a better summary of our current political/media world point of view. It is a classic divide and rule approach, and it seems to be working a treat. Unfortunately. It is on the back of such divisive attitudes that the likes of UKIP thrive of course.
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money to spend."
Nice to see you still marching in step with her party propaganda.
She would know all about other people's possessions, she nicked enough of the country's assets and flogged them off cheap in her time.
Oh, and she was factually incorrect, a countries money and assets belong to the country and everyone residing there. So it is everyone's money, not other peoples. But then spending money for the benefit of society as a whole and not just the benefit of a privileged few (for example the royal mail give away itself) has never been the tory way, has it?

In his address to the IIEA, Adam Price argued that Brexit and the disunity it has engendered in UK politics could be a centrifugal force for the relationships between the four countries of the United Kingdom. He argued that there is growing support for Irish unity and Scottish and Welsh independence, and proposed that planning begin for new and different unions between the Celtic nations across these islands.

The number of breweries in Louisiana nearly tripled from 2012 to 2016, according to the most recent data available from the U.S. Census Bureau, in line with national trends indicating that the number of breweries across the United States more than tripled in the five-year period.
In 2012, there were only seven brewery establishments statewide, but in 2016, Louisiana reported 20—an 185.7% increase. Most of that growth, the census found, happened in small, craft brewery establishments, otherwise defined as small and independent businesses with fewer than 50 employees that combine traditional brew styles with innovative ingredients.
In East Baton Rouge Parish, however, there wasn’t any growth in the craft beer industry during that time frame; the same brewery that existed in the parish in 2012, Tin Roof Brewery, was still the only local brewery by the time the 2016 census results rolled out.
But the craft alcohol industry is still rising in Baton Rouge, as detailed by Business Report in a 2017 feature—a slow trend that began with the 2010 arrival of Tin Roof and now includes Southern Craft Brewing, which debuted its brews in April 2016.
Brewers attribute Baton Rouge’s slow embrace of the industry to the fierce loyalty local drinkers have for national brands as well as the city’s lack of pedestrian-friendly entertainment corridors. Some sources in a 225 cover package also cite Louisiana’s unfavorable regulatory environment.
Still, three new operators—Cypress Coast, Rally Brewing Co. and Le Chien Brewing Co.—have announced plans to open in Baton Rouge in 2018, hinting the sector is poised to pick up steam.
If national trends are any indication, more will join them. Every one of the 50 states and just over a quarter of the nation’s 3,143 counties have at least one brewery. Not a single U.S. state saw a decline in the overall number of breweries between 2012 and 2016.

All you Need to Know About Laser Resurfacing the Face
Your skin is one of the things that you must always take care of. If you do, you will have flawless skin free from any blemishes. There are times that the skin could develop some blemishes. The cause of the skin blemishes could be age, stress, or a skin infection. The number of skin treatment options for dealing with skin blemishes is very high. Some of the skin treatment options are surgical. There are always some people that are against invasive skin treatment procedures. The good thing is that some of the other skin treatment choices do not involve surgery. Among the skin treatment procedures that do not require surgery is the laser resurfacing one. In this article we are going to talk about finding a co2 laser near me and other things to know about laser resurfacing.
It is best to start with the definition of laser resurfacing. This should be done before looking for a co2 laser near me. Basically, laser resurfacing is the use of lasers on the skin surface to make it look better. Here, there is more than one type of laser that can be used on the skin for laser resurfacing. There is the choice to use effective lases or use the laser resurfacing options that are not as effective. The 2 major kinds are ablative laser resurfacing and non-ablative laser resurfacing.
The growth of collagen is encouraged to begin using light or lasers that are gentle in the laser resurfacing option. It is less-effective. Collagen growth is initiated by the removal of the topmost skin layer by the lasers. Of the two methods, this is the one that has provided better results. This all sounds overwhelming like searching for a co2 laser near me by yourself. The next step is obviously learning the way by which this method works. First you should have found the closest co2 laser near me.
After finding a good co2 laser near me, you can then consider their fees. The outer skin layer called the epidermis is what the lasers target and remove. In reality the collagen growth is stimulated by the heat generated by the lasers. The work of collagen is to make the skin look young and fresh. Once you have properly healed from the laser resurfacing the face procedure, you will have tight and younger-looking skin. Go for this procedure if you want to get rid of any age spots. All this can happen when you get a good co2 laser near me.

EARTH DAY NETWORK CALLS ON GOVERNMENT OF ICELAND TO STOP THE SLAUGHTER OF WHALES
March 11, 2019
(Washington, DC) – In response to the Government of Iceland’s announcement to set a new quota that authorizes the hunting and killing of up to 2,130 baleen whales over the next five years, Earth Day Network, has called upon the Icelandic Government to immediately reverse their decision. Earth Day Network represents a global environmental movement with over 75,000 organizational partners, engaging one billion people annually.
In a letter to the Embassy, Earth Day Network President Kathleen Rogers notes, “Iceland is a modern, advanced and forward-looking economy and can be rightly proud of its many efforts to advance environmental protection, climate action and sustainable development, including in respect to renewable energy and laudable electrification of its transport systems. Setting new quotas for hunting whales is a stain on Iceland’s reputation and undermines its positive evolving track-record in respect to its progressive policies in other sustainability arenas.”
Earth Day Network shares the view of the Icelandic Travel Industry Association. Namely that the potential damage to Iceland’s growing tourism sector far outweighs any questionable economic benefit to the fishing industry from continued whaling. Indeed, unless there is a clear signal from Iceland that whaling will be halted, Earth Day Network will have no hesitation in supporting the call for citizens world-wide to boycott Iceland as a tourist destination.
Earth Day Network is calling on environmentalists, NGOs and individuals to contact Embassies to pressure them to change their position.
Earth Day Network’s theme this year is Protect Our Species and whales represent one of the most endangered species. In addition, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement and the beginning of Earth Day. An announcement by Iceland that whaling has been consigned to the history books would be an early celebration for citizens everywhere in advance of this special anniversary year.
“The 50th anniversary is the appropriate time for Iceland, as well as Norway and Japan, to join almost 100 percent of the world’s countries to end commercial and scientific whaling for good,” adds Rogers.

Mobile phone + 1 202-355-8875
EARTH DAY NETWORK
The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN), the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, works year-round with 75,000 partners in more than 190 countries on global reforestation, climate and environmental literacy, ending plastic pollution and protecting biodiversity. EDN’s goal is to build environmental democracy and to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement worldwide.


Trump’s “Wiretap” Conspiracy Theory Is Now Repudiated by Both House and Senate Intelligence Committees
Our so-called president still insists he’s about to prove the Obama administration “wiretapped” Trump Tower during the presidential campaign. He says this proof is coming “very soon.”
But he may be too late to convince anyone except his cultish followers on the right, because even Republicans are officially fed up with his nonsensical conspiracy theory.
WASHINGTON — In a striking repudiation, Republicans on Wednesday threatened subpoenas and vented openly about the lack of evidence behind President Trump’s tweet that President Barack Obama had wiretapped his phones in Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Devin Nunes of California, told reporters on Capitol Hill that “I don’t think there was an actual tap of Trump Tower” and that Mr. Trump, if taken literally, is simply “wrong.”
Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, said he had provided no information to Mr. Trump that might have formed the basis for the president’s claim.
And it’s not only the House Intelligence Committee. Today the Senate Intelligence Committee also confirmed that there’s absolutely no evidence Trump Tower was “wiretapped.”

how much peat moss to add to potting soil
The only downsides of using peat moss in compost are the expense and the environmental concerns associated with sphagnum peat moss., Properly applying peat moss to soil mixes and as an amendment is important for the success of your garden. Use about 1/4 cup of lime for every six gallons of peat moss. There are many different pre-mixed options available, but you can often get the best mix by customizing your potting soil with perlite. How to use peat moss in your garden depends on what you plan to use it for. Compost: (permeability, water retention, nutrients) Well-rotted compost is one of the best soil amendments you can add to your garden, and it’s impossible to use too much! You can re-use potting soil in planters and grow bags, but you'll need to take a few steps to kill of pathogens and add nutrients back into the soil. How To Create Perfect Potting Soil You can create this potting soil mix in any quantity. Giving your houseplant the wrong type of potting soil can indeed be detrimental, especially if the soil is more acidic thanks to peat moss but your plant needs alkaline conditions. Peat moss is fairly wimpy as a general soil additive, it should be noted. I created Epic Gardening to help teach 10,000,000 people how to grow anything, no matter where they live in the world. The topsoil and peat moss mix should make up the top 6 to 12 inches of your soil. Look for sphagnum peat moss for sale in your area and compare prices to get the best deal. 1 part compost 1 part sphagnum peat or coir 1 part peat … The decision to use peat moss is up to you.

Drinking and Driving will Cost you Money
Most Canadians understand the serious harm that drinking and driving has on our society. We all know the dangers associated with getting behind the wheel drunk or with too much alcohol in our system. We know it’s dangerous, not just to ourselves, but to other drivers and pedestrians.
We also know that drinking and driving is common. Almost everyone has a relative or a friend that has driven with too much alcohol in their system and been caught by the police.
Officers in recent years have not only become better at catching impaired drivers but also at securing their convictions. Our office still does an excellent job of defending these charges but we must concede they have become more difficult to defend in the last five years.
This article will make it clear that you should hire a lawyer if you have been charged with impaired driving. This article might actually deter you from getting behind the wheel when you realize how expensive it is when you get charged.
The increased penalties and tough on crime rhetoric will never end drinking and driving. Someone will always have had one too many drinks to exercise good judgment. Someone will always not want to leave their new car downtown. Someone will always think they aren’t as bad as they actually are and get behind the wheel.
Next time you’ve had a couple of drinks and aren’t sure if you should risk driving, we ask you to consider the potential and inevitable costs that will occur if you are caught and convicted.
– Hiring a Lawyer (several thousand for an experienced trial lawyer) – Cabs ($200), public transit ($300 for three months of Metro Pass), and the patience of your friends (priceless) during the automatic 90-day suspension – Vehicle impoundment (approximately $400) for seven days
Potential Costs (if you are found guilty)
– Minimum fine of $1000
– Treatment program (approximately $575)
– Interlock device (approximately $1300)
– Insurance rate increase (approximately or up to $4500 per year)
– Cabs ($600), buses ($300 to $600) and friendships (priceless) for 90 days to 180 days if you enrol in the interlock program.
Drinking and driving is not only dangerous but potentially very costly. Being found guilty of an alcohol-related driving offence will likely have a financial cost of $20,000 to $40,000 over a three or four year period.
Buy a new car, go on a dream vacation, send your kids to private school, put a swimming pool in your backyard, or drive home drunk and get caught.
If you have been charged, we recommend consulting with a lawyer immediately.

LANCASTER – Residents walking or driving by any of the big banks on The Blvd Saturday morning were greeted by a group of Occupy Antelope Valley demonstrators who waved signs, passed out information, and commanded residents to close their bank accounts and open them at credit unions, instead.
“You are being abused by corporate greed!” Angel Warner told passing motorists. “Get rid of the corporate greed and corruption and put America back into the people’s hands that built this great country! Put it back into the 99 percent, the people that work hard everyday that built this country and make the money for these greedy so and so’s!”
Some drivers honked their horns while others pumped their fists in support of the group.
“This is a brave group,” said one man walking by who gave the group a “thumbs up” sign.
Demonstrators marched the length of The BLVD on both sides, stopping for about 5-10 minutes at each of the big banks (Chase, Union Bank, Wells Fargo and Bank of America) to shout their message. They passed out fliers to bank customers as they exited.
“LOCK IT UP! LOCK IT UP!” the group chanted.
The demonstration was the second one for Occupy Antelope Valley, which held its first march last week. Read the story here. Occupy AV facilitators say Saturday’s march was part of a national call to encourage people to transfer their money out of the big banks and into credit unions and community banks.
“A lot of the credit unions are national credit unions, but the difference is that credit unions are owned and controlled by their members and they’re not for profit as opposed to the big banks,” said Occupy AV facilitator Devin Letzer. “You have more say over how your money is used, it’s cheaper for you, usually it will pay better rates, and they don’t have nearly as high fees. So that’s the main message of moving your money.”
According to the Credit Union National Association, 650,000 Americans joined credit unions last month — more than in all of 2010 combined. Letzer says this proves that the “Move Your Money” movement is catching on, and said that Occupy AV was leading the local movement by example.
Immediately following the march, the group headed over to the American Heroes Park on Elm and Kettering, where the group plans to begin an ongoing occupation.
Initially, Occupy AV plans to have a presence in the park daily during the park’s hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Each night there will be a General Assembly at 7 p.m., open to everyone, which will determine when and if Occupy AV will attempt to hold the space beyond those hours.
The occupation will continue, indefinitely, in solidarity with the other occupations all over the world. For more information on this movement, visit the group’s face book page.
The AV Times will be following this story and will bring you more updates on the ongoing occupation in future news stories.

Bundanoon urged to back bottled water ban
A businessman from Bundanoon, south-west of Wollongong, says most businesses in the town support a ban on bottled water.
Huw Kingston has launched a campaign that would see local businesses sell reusable bottles, instead of selling bottled water.
He says the idea was prompted by significant opposition to an application to extract groundwater from a Bundanoon bore for bottling.
But Mr Kingston says the initiative will only work if its backed by the entire community.
"It's just a case of making sure that the positives of this, by way of an increase in tourism, the selling of a reusable bottles won't disadvantage the profitability of those businesses," he said.
"As I know, it's pretty tough to run a small business."


The reopening of non-essential shops was expected to bring relief for the retail sector. On the whole, that is what happened but footfall data gives us a more nuanced picture of how it played out across the country.
Showing 51–60 of 492 results.
While the Chancellor made a series of national announcements in the Summer Statement, they will play out differently across the country.
Wednesday's Summer Statement should set out the following five key policies if it is to support a recovery across the country.
As local lockdowns are expected to become the new norm, Government must ensure businesses are adequately supported and that these local lockdowns reflect the right boundaries.
Cities are taking the lead when it comes to reopening the high street, but they need national support to address outstanding challenges.
Although restrictions on opening are being lifted, high street businesses remain at risk while office workers remain at home.
As lockdown begins to ease and domestic tourism looks set to return, we examined how tourism affects local economies up and down the country.
A city's over-reliance on one industry stores up trouble for when a crisis hits.
Rolling back Covid support measures is complicated, but a framework for thinking about it suggests a clearer way forward.
Our new high streets recovery tracker shows that successful city centres have seen the largest falls in footfall. Valentine Quinio on why this is likely to be driven by significant reductions in the share of people coming from outside the city.

The President of the Fiji Trades Union Congress Daniel Urai says he does not see problems ahead in setting up a new political party despite the union movement's staunch criticism of the interim government.
The umbrella group says it is setting up a new party to provide workers with a political voice as their needs are not being met by the Fiji Labour Party.
Mr Urai says he does not anticipate an issue forming the party despite political party registration rules still to be announced by the Fiji regime.
"We are hopeful that if true democracy will be brought back to Fiji then there should be no problem with the formation of a multi racial political party by the trade union movement. We do not foresee any reason why under the principles of democracy and transparency the formation of a political party by any group in Fiji would be stopped by the current regime."

By Rep. Jill York
March 9, 2011 —
With little time remaining in the 2011 Regular Session, legislators used their time to amend and act on legislation.
All of this was done in the hope that each chamber will have an opportunity to consider and concur upon a great number of bills from the other chamber before we adjourn for the 10-day veto period.
Committees met with renewed sense of urgency as there were numerous Senate bills slated for consideration. Here are a few highlights of the action that’s been underway in Frankfort this past week.
In the House Transportation Committee, Senate Bill 79 was approved to clarify federal regulations regarding small farm trucks and trailers being used by farmers within Kentucky’s borders.
This legislation, which also requires a new registration tag for farm trucks weighing less than 26,000 pounds, would protect farmers with small trucks from incurring fuel tax fines when they travel to other states.
Senate Bill 75 came to the House Banking and Insurance committee as legislation that would permit chiropractors to collect more from insurers for certain procedures.
Thanks to a committee amendment, Senate Bill 75 left that committee as a bill that would limit the number of co-payments insurance companies can charge for a chiropractic visit and passed with unanimous approval.
Senate Bill 12 was received by the House Education Committee, amended, and then given passage.
Under this measure, a school superintendent would serve as the chairman of the site-based council of the principal selection process and be given a vote in the hiring process.
The winning candidate would be selected by a majority vote of this council. The full House approved this measure on Thursday and the full Senate is expected to concur.
Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities here in the 96th District. In an effort to ease the hassles businesses face in communicating and reporting to government agencies, members of the House gave their 99-0 seal of approval to Senate Bill 8.
This legislation would create a one-stop electronic portal to facilitate interaction among businesses and government agencies in Kentucky.
One of the lone bills originating in the House and approved in our chamber this week was House Bill 333. Should this bill, which passed 92-6, become law, the sale of display fireworks, including Roman candles and bottle rockets, would be legal in Kentucky.
The fee to sell novelty fireworks, such as sparklers, would be reduced from $50 to $25; there would be a fee for retailers to sell consumer fireworks seasonally or year-round.
Winning passage on a 98-0 vote, Senate Bill 112 would save money for Kentuckians seeking physical therapy. The provisions contained in this bill would limit a health insurance company from charging a copayment for physical therapy no more than required for an office visit with a family practice doctor.
The House also approved Senate Bill 151. As you will see in the vote tally below I, along with many other members of the House, have some concerns with this legislation.
The version approved by the House would commission a legislative task force to study alternative ways to select members of the Public Service Commission (PSC).
My wariness comes from a growing sense that the majority parties in both the Senate and the House are in favor of an elected PSC. Those very folks are the ones who will select the members of the task force. I doubt the ability of any task force to truly reach a thoroughly researched and considered opinion in those circumstances.
It’s a little like having your boss ask you if you think he’s gained weight. Should you deliver the answer you know he wants to hear … or the truth? And the truth -- the best answer -- that’s what we must have if we are to be vigilant in our protection of consumers in Kentucky.
It was suggested in House floor debate that perhaps for the most credible study, the proposed task force should include non-partisan business leaders and community advocates. This bill barely passed the House, but did squeeze through by a vote of 48-46.
Late in the week, the Governor signed House Bill 463. Noted as a sweeping reform of the state's justice code, this legislation is expected to save taxpayers $147 million over the next decade.
The intent is to protect public safety by reducing the number of repeat offenders. While severe punishments will remain intact for violent criminals and drug traffickers, the punishment for simple drug possession will be lessened in two ways.
While remaining a Class D felony, possession of small amounts will result in up to three years in prison, down from the current maximum of five, and repeat offenses will remain Class D felonies rather than being Class C Felonies, punishable by up to ten years behind bars.
Additionally, drug addicts would enter into treatment and community supervision rather than prison, reducing the number of inmates in our overly crowded prisons.
This session’s most pressing issue, plugging our Medicaid shortfall, remains unresolved.
House Bill 305, as originally approved, would plug the $166.5 million hole by moving money forward from Fiscal Year 2012 with that year’s budget being reduced through anticipated cost savings.
Late in the week, the Senate approved their version of House Bill 305, which would make broad-based cuts across state government for the rest of the biennium to make up the Medicaid shortfall. This revamped version is now headed back to the House and a conference committee will likely be appointed to hammer out a compromised, final version.
We have but a few days remaining in this session. After that, the Governor Beshear will have 10 days to veto any measures and then the General Assembly is scheduled to reconvene. All will return to Frankfort for the purpose of either overriding or accepting the Governor's vetoes.
While we continue to complete our work on pending legislation before this session is completed, please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

A Canadian family of four can expect to spend almost $700 more on food next year, according to a report released Tuesday. That’s about a five per cent increase compared to 2020.
The annual study, a collaboration between food researchers at four universities now in its 11th year, uses economic data, observed market trends and AI to predict food prices. Their analysis shows that meat, baked goods and vegetables will likely see the greatest increases, reflecting the pandemic-related challenges — from COVID-19 outbreaks in processing plants to low oil prices — that have faced Canada’s still-resilient food supply chain this year.
“With the exception of some short-term hoarding of high-demand food products, the various supply chains continue to function remarkably well,” said James Vercammen, project co-lead and professor of land and food systems at the University of British Columbia.
“But consumers need to understand that Canada imports a sizable fraction of its fresh fruits and vegetables from the U.S., Mexico and other countries. The potential exists for significant disruptions in these imports if there (are additional waves) of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
About 78 per cent of produce eaten in B.C. is imported, mostly from the U.S., according to a report commissioned by Metro Vancouver this year. And while those supply chains have remained relatively intact, they’re not immune.
For instance, record-low oil prices at the start of the pandemic pushed down the value of the Canadian dollar. That made it more expensive to bring vegetables, fruits and other food into Canada, a trend Simon Somogyi, project co-lead and a professor at the University of Guelph, expects will continue into 2021, with fruits and vegetables costing about two to four per cent more.
A global wheat shortage will also probably push up the price of wheat, he noted. That will directly impact the cost of baked goods, which are expected to cost up to two per cent more next year.
What people are reading
Meat will also see a price increase of between four and six per cent. Canada’s meat processing system, which is highly consolidated (three abattoirs process 95 per cent of the beef eaten in Canada, for example), was hit by several outbreaks early in the pandemic and needed to shut down. The cost of those closures and subsequent purchases of personal protective equipment (PPE) will likely be passed on to consumers, said Somogyi.
Overall, these increases will result in higher food prices across the board. According to the report — which breaks down the anticipated increase by age category and gender — Canadians can expect to pay from $2,016 for a child between one and three years old up to $3,974 for a teenage boy.
A woman between 31 and 50 can expect to pay about $3,193, while a man of the same age can anticipate spending about $3,559.
“Families with less means will be significantly challenged in 2021, and many will be left behind,” said Sylvain Charlebois, project lead and director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab. “Immunity to higher food prices requires more cooking, more discipline and more research. It’s as simple as that.”
Or perhaps not.
“We already had very high levels of food insecurity in Canada” before the pandemic, said Hannah Wittman, professor of land and food systems at the University of British Columbia. “If you want to increase food security, simply focusing on food prices isn’t going to resolve it.”
About 3.8 million Canadians were food insecure before the pandemic, according to Statistics Canada. That number had risen by about four per cent, to 5.3 million, by May 2020 and is expected to continue rising as the pandemic drags on.
Women, Black people, Indigenous people, people of colour and families with children — the same groups that have borne the brunt of the pandemic — are most at risk, Wittman said.
Researchers at PROOF, a research project on food insecurity based at the University of Toronto, have noted that wages are the main source of income for roughly 65 per cent of food-insecure Canadians. Low-wage jobs and precarious work situations, including many that have been proven essential during the pandemic, are to blame, they say.
Valerie Tarasuk, the lead researcher at PROOF, also pointed out that many people struggling to make ends meet don’t have time to go to a food bank, let alone spend more time on cooking and planning.
The annual income for someone working full time at the minimum hourly wage — from $12.15 in Newfoundland and Labrador to $16 in Nunavut — is $27,600.
Assuming they have no children or other dependants, an adult could expect to spend, on average, 12 per cent of their income on food, according to the report’s estimates. If they are supporting a child or teenager, that could climb to 22 per cent, or $6,072, on average.
But hungry people aren’t the only ones struggling with Canadian food prices, which are among the lowest in the developed world, according to the World Economic Forum.
“Farmers are also really suffering with some really low food prices,” Wittman said.
About 14.6 per cent of each food dollar goes to farms, according to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data, and the situation is similar in Canada. However, the majority of this profit goes towards the costs of production, explained Darrin Qualman, director of climate crisis policy at the National Farmers Union, because a handful of companies control the market for seeds, fertilizers and other inputs.
This has contributed to skyrocketing levels of farm debt in Canada, which reached $115 billion this year. Meanwhile, net income has dropped, hovering around $10 billion annually since the mid-1980s, rates unseen since the Great Depression.
Meanwhile, Canada’s three major grocery chains — Loblaws, Sobeys and Metro — control 63 per cent of grocery stores in Canada. That gives them a consolidated hold on the industry, which makes it difficult for farmers and processors to negotiate more financially sustainable prices.
“Part of why our food is so inexpensive in comparison to other countries is that we’re downloading costs onto farmers, many of whom aren’t making a living, and we’re not including social, public health and environmental externalities, which are borne by the public,” Wittman said.
“We need a whole system change where we improve people’s income so they can afford to pay higher food prices that actually reflect the true cost of production — including social, health and ecological externalities.”

North Americans have been paying far too little for our food for generations - to the detriment of farmers. Food insecurity/hunger is NOT due to expensive food, but to the ever increasing precarity of employment and the lethal distortion in wealth distribution. Add to that the grim spillover effects of systemic racism. ghettoization, "redlining", exploitative "investment" from financial institutions, et al....
Never has it been more important to the marginalized in our dysfunctional "civilization" to take charge of their own lives; fight back against the hegemonic Blackstone-like hedge funds driving the global gentrification that is evicting the common folk from participation in the housing market.

The Kansas State Wildcats took a page from the Kansas City Chiefs’ playbook in the waning seconds of their victory over Kentucky on Sunday.
In a second round showdown featuring a battle of two Wildcats clubs, it was Kansas State who prevailed 75-69. Markquis Nowell led the way for Kansas State with 27 points, nine rebounds and three steals.
Leading 69-64 with just 26.7 seconds remaining, Kansas State players decided to line up in a football-like “shotgun” formation for an inbound play. The move worked alright, as the Wildcats retained possession and drew a foul.
Per Nick Jacobs of KSHB 41 News, Kansas State head coach Jerome Tang revealed that they call that play “Mahomes”, in reference to Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs are known for coming up with a plethora of crafty plays under Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid. And hey, the team is now celebrating their second Super Bowl victory in four years. So no, it doesn’t hurt to mimic some plays from the world champions.
Kansas State will try to continue their momentum when they play the Michigan State Spartans on Thursday (6:30 p.m. EST).
The Wildcats’ victory comes one day after their rivals, the Kansas Jayhawks, were stunned by Arkansas 72-71 in second round play on Saturday. The loss prevented the powerhouse Jayhawks from becoming the first back-to-back champions since the 2006 and ’07 Florida Gators.WANT MORE FROM TOTALPROSPORTS? FOLLOW US ON GOOGLE NEWS.


Oliver Pattison just published a piece called Consider Jekyll. Where he shares some insight into the benefits he’s found in building websites with Jekyll. He does a great job building the case for static sites in general and had me nodding in agreement with so many of his points.
I don’t mean to suggest that static sites are always better than dynamic sites. I recommend using the appropriate tool for the job. Static sites excel for mostly text-based sites with only moderate needs for dynamically generated markup or content that is updated in real time. A surprising number of websites fit this description. I would argue that most sites running dynamic server-side code don’t really need it and are paying a price in complexity or performance compared to a similar static implementation.
I really like his honesty here, admitting that static sites are not the answer to all web needs and encourages to choose the appropriate tool for the job. This is definitely a point I think a lot of designers and developers miss — weighing the options before creating another website. What exactly are needed as a solution for the problem you’re trying to solve at hand? List your needs, weigh the benefits of each platform, think and then choose the right tool for the job.
I’ll admit, Jekyll isn’t the answer to all the problems I’ve faced but definitely has been an elegant solution for a good amount of them. One recently that I faced was using Jekyll as the marketing site where the main purpose of the site is to have static pages for product information while also having blogging capabilities.
I knew I would have speed and ease of maintenance for the site by using Jekyll, but the blogging side of things had a couple of concerns. One of the concerns were having multiple authors writing on the blog. In a CMS, authors are automatically identified by their login credentials, as a result when that specific author publishes a post, the CMS automatically fills in information about the author.
I had setup the Jekyll project to automatically render author sections based on a custom YAML field in each post, but I admit it is a bit manual and isn’t as elegant as a traditional CMS.
After I weighed the benefits and concerns, I decided Jekyll was the right way to go. Having a fast website and an infinite lifespan for our posts were more important to me than my concerns. As blogging is a central part of the business’s workflow.
If you’ve been mulling over whether Jekyll is right for you, check out Oliver’s sweet article!

(NOTE: I was given these jewelry making products from the Oriental Trading Company. But, all opinions are my own.)
There are lots of glittering things during the Christmas holiday — lights, ornaments, candles, snow.
That is great!
However, it’s a lot more fun when the sparkle is a holiday bracelet cheerfully dangling around your wrist. Especially when it is one that you made yourself!
Some people are intimidated with the thought of making jewelry. But! Don’t be! It’s easy and doesn’t take any special skill.
Well . . . maybe it does . . . like the ability to see beads that fall on the floor . . . just saying . . .
Here is a list of things that you’ll need:
Using your wire cutting jewelry tool, cut a piece of wire that is several inches longer than the amount that you need to go around your wrist.
Put your beads in separate bowls so it’s easy to see them.
Slide a clasp onto the wire. Add a crimp bead. Thread the wire back through the crimp bead so that the clasp is in a secure loop. Using a jewelry tool, squeeze the crimp bead so it is flat. This keeps the clasp on the wire. With a jewelry tool, cut off any excess wire.
Next, select the beads you want for your bracelet. I suggest that you place them in a line on the table before you string them on the wire. That way, it’s easy to see the beads and make changes before stringing them.
When you are satisfied with the layout, string the beads on the wire.
Before you put a charm on, put it on a jump ring. Then, slide the jump ring on the wire. This lets the charm dangle freely. (I was really impressed with the charms that we got! They were very sturdy which is great for granddaughters that might be a little rough when they wear their bracelet!)
Emma used one of every style of Santa charms. She loves Santa!
Be prepared that someone might switch from making a bracelet to a necklace. Which is just fine! Sparkly necklaces are terrific, too.
When you’re ready to finish the bracelet (or necklace), slip a jump ring on the wire. Add a crimp bead and thread the end of the wire back through the bead. With a jewelry tool, squeeze the bead so that it is flat and holds tight. Cut of any excess wire that you might have.
Ta da! Your sparkly jewelry is finished! A gorgeous bracelet . . .
. . . and a gorgeous necklace.
My daughter and my sister couldn’t just sit by and watch us make jewelry. They wanted their own sparklies! So they made themselves a bracelet! Everyone had a ball!
This is a great Christmas craft that you could do with your tween or teen granddaughters. I guarantee they’ll have fun and love the jewelry that they make.
I was very pleased with my experience with the Oriental Trading Company. My order came very quickly wh!ich was really nice. And, I was impressed with the quality of the items. Everything was very high quality and I’m sure that the bracelets and necklace will last a long time.
Let the Oriental Trading Company be your headquarters for Christmas crafts, decor, candy, and party supplies.


The number of people killed in a bomb blast near the Afghan capital, Kabul, has increased.
At least 60 people were killed in the blast, according to international media. According to the BBC, 13 Americans were among those killed in the blast.
When a large crowd of people gathered at the airport premises to leave Afghanistan, it is said that the blast was targeted at them.
They were about to leave Afghanistan on a plane brought by the United States.
Earlier, the United States and Britain warned of possible terrorist attacks.


Aspherical lenses are used to eliminate spherical aberration in a variety of applications, including bar code scanning, laser diode collimation, or OEM or R&D integration. Aspherical lenses are designed with a single element, which helps to minimize the number of lenses in multi-lens optical fittings. Another way to put it is that aspherical lenses, unlike conventional lenses with a spherical surface, have a more complex outer surface and gradually change direction from the center of the lens to outside the edge of the lens by means of curvature. Reducing the total amount of components used not only helps reduce the size or weight of the system, but also simplifies the assembly process. Integrating aspherical lenses with an application not only reduces the total cost, but also enables them to perform better than assembly designed for conventional spherical optical lenses. MAP optics can provide customized aspherical lenses without coating and anti-reflective coating according to your requirements.

Osteopathy is a safe, gentle and effective form of manual therapy, which involves treatment of the joints, muscles, ligaments and all surrounding structures. We aim to relieve pain and discomfort, by using ‘hands on’ techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of health problems. Our aim also is to increase the quality and range of movement in the body, to enhance the health and well being of all of our patients. Osteopathic techniques used by our experienced practitioners include soft tissue work, stretching, articulation, mobilisation of joints, balancing ligamentous tension, Osteopathy in the cranial field and and myofascial dry needling. Occasionally, adverse reactions, such as tenderness, may occur following osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathic treatment is based on a detailed understanding of anatomy, biomechanics and reflexes of the musculoskeletal system.
The Osteopathic philosophy is to look at the person as one unit, or as a whole, therefore treatment aims to improve function of the whole body and doesn’t address only the presenting signs and symptoms. Treatment helps to stimulate the body’s own self-regulating or self-healing mechanisms, aiding the body to return to optimal health.
Through effective Osteopathic treatment, our practitioners aim to allow our patients to lead a fuller and healthier life.
What happens during your first appointment?
During your initial consultation, many questions will be asked about your presenting symptoms and a thorough medical history will be taken by your Osteopath. Orthopaedic, neurological and other system examinations may be used to help assess and diagnose each patient, and if necessary, referral to other health care providers may be required. Your Osteopath will observe your posture and ask you to perform some simple movements to help assess how your body is functioning and why you are experiencing symptoms. Factors which may be affecting your overall wellbeing, like stress, your exercise regime, diet, and occupation are also taken into consideration.
Please bring with you any x-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI scans, with their accompanying reports or any other test results that you may feel appropriate for the Osteopath to assess your condition.
Your initial consultation may last up to one hour as it includes a thorough history and examination as well as treatment. Follow up consultations are up to 30 minutes.
