At approximately 2:25 a.m. Sunday, the Delphos Police Department received a call of a possible intoxicated driver on Elida Road. After receiving a description of the vehicle, officers were able to locate it traveling north on Elida Road approaching Fifth Street. Officers then viewed the vehicle fail to turn at the intersection and continue to travel off of the roadway striking a tree and coming to rest. Officers then made contact with the driver, 54-year-old Robert Nienberg of Delphos. Officers found probable cause to arrest Nienberg for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. Nienberg will appear in Lima Municipal Court to face the OVI charge as well as multiple traffic related violations.
On Monday, Delphos police officers responded to a report of a theft incident in the 1200 block of South Erie Street. Officers met with the victim who gave officers a description of the item taken. The item was later located at a local recycling center. Investigating officers were able to discover that the item was taken to the recycling center by, 51-year-old James Diltz of Delphos. As a result of the investigation, Diltz will face a charge of receiving stolen property. He will appear in Lima Municipal Court at a later date.
On Tuesday, officers were made aware of an active warrant for 23-year-old Joshua Trenkamp of Delphos. Officers were able to locate Trenkamp at which time he was taken into custody. Trenkamp was transported to the Delphos Police Department where he was later turned over to an Allen County Sheriff’s Deputy.


With over 40 million global streams, 4 million + video views, and recently reaching #1 on Dance Radio in the US, it is safe to say fans are “Obsessed” with the Dynoro and Ina Wroldsen single. Both artists are pleased to release a new, hauntingly beautiful Acoustic Version available now. Bringing the acoustic rendition of “Obsessed” to life visually, the single’s singer/songwriter Ina Wroldsen has also released a beautiful brand new video.
Aside from the chart-topping original, an official Tiësto Remix released Memorial Day Weekend to rave reviews across the dance music world from blogs to dance-floors alike. Now, Ina Wroldsen takes center stage in the latest version of “Obsessed”, showcasing the Norwegian songstress as not only a talented singer, but also a songwriter. Having written the lyrics to “Obsessed” herself, the acoustic version exudes a pure and stripped down melody with a painful lyrical core that is sure to captivate listeners on a completely new level.
What INA WROLDSEN and DYNORO put into the creation of “Obsessed” track is some kind of psycho-thriller and a cry for help – because being obsessed is inexplicable, unhealthy, and scary. It’s when you love so hard, you really want to get under the other person’s skin and risk losing yourself in it completely.
The Norwegian singer-songwriter famously worked alongside Calvin Harris on his smash-hit “How Deep Is Your Love” and was awarded one of the country’s most successful female musicians in 2018.
“This is a different kind of love song. It’s about the moment you realize, your love is turning from healthy and mutual to obsessive and excruciating. It was a fascinating song to write because it allowed me to get in touch with a darker side of myself, describing the search for a love that you know, deep down, isn’t there anymore.” says Wroldsen about the “Obsessed” single.
The original version of “Obsessed” was produced by 19-year-old Lithuanian hit-making prodigy producer and DJ, DYNORO, who reached global hit status with his single, “In My Mind” that has amassed over a billion streams to date. Stream the Acoustic Version of Dynoro & Ina Wroldsen‘s “Obsessed” today!

Known and Unknown; A Memoir- by Donald Rumsfeld
Few Americans have spent more time near the center of power that Donald Rumsfeld, whose widely commented-on memoir offers many previously undisclosed details about his service with four U.S. Presidents. We follow his rise from a middle-class childhood to the Navy to a seat in the U.S. Congress at age thirty, and his experiences there during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era. We also get his unique perspective as a cabinet-level member of the Nixon and Ford administrations, as CEO of two Fortune 500 companies, and as a special envoy to the Middle East for President Reagan. Rumsfeld also address the challenges and controversies of his time as Secretary of Defense during 9/11 attacks by al-Qaida and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He includes candid observations on the differences of views within the Pentagon and with other members of President George W. Bush’s National Security Council.

For me, Barbara Frittoli was the most delightful actress. You didn't need to read the subtitles when she sang as her eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and graceful hands told the story. Her voice was exquisite.
Not to make less of the entire cast, orchestra and conductor who were all excellent. If you like Mozart music and opera in general and have a chance to see this opera with this cast, don't miss it.

This is the first year that we're able to work with this phenomenal selection from Fincas Los Rodriguez. Their coffees are spectacular – they are always incredibly sweet and clean. There are many excellent characteristics of their coffees, however it is most commonly regarded for its lovely notes of berries and butterscotch expression whilst still retaining a distinctive acidity.
Fincas Los Rodriguez comprises 12 farms owned by the Agricafe family business in two different regions of the country: Caranavi (La Paz city) and Samaipata ( Santa Cruz city) and decided to plant their own farms in order to guarantee coffee production. Caranavi, located at the door to the Amazonian region in La Paz has ideal climatic conditions to grow coffee. The region of Samaipata on the other hand, is typically known for its wine production but the Rodriguez family decided to develop coffee cultivation there, generating new options of economic development in the region, as well as job opportunities and of course, different coffee profiles than the ones known from Los Yungas region.

The Toronto Police constable charged in the death of 18 year-old Sammy Yatim in July of 2013 may not stand trial until after next summer.
James Forcillo was not in court Wednesday, but a lawyer made a brief court appearance on his behalf and set a judicial pre-trial for September 22nd.
At that time a target trial date may be set, with Forcillo's lawyer expecting the trial itself to be scheduled for sometime after summer 2015.
The officer faces a charge of second degree murder in Yatim's shooting death on the Dundas streetcar last July.
Forcillo has also been formally charged with attempted murder, although it was not discussed in court Wednesday.
Const. Forcillo's lawyer Peter Brauti told the National Post that "it is obviously disappointing that he (Cst. Forcillo) is being pursued with new theories of the case more than a year after the events."
Toronto Police Association President Mike McCormack told Newstalk 1010's Bell Media partner CP24 that he believes the late charge suggests the Crown has a weak case.

Activist investment fund Starboard Value reported on Friday that it had reached a 9% stake in Israeli website development platform Wix (Nasdaq: WIX). Wix’s share price rose by more than 5% in response to the announcement.
Starboard said that it supported Wix’s streamlining plans, and that it believed that there was a significant opportunity to improve the company’s profit margins, according to a report by Reuters. Earlier this year, Wix announced a cost-cutting program intended to save the company $150 million a year and to widen its profit margins. Wix also announce a $500 million share buyback program.
Wix narrows loss, confirms layoffs
In Wix’s backyard: Two Israeli startups vying for website builders
Starboard estimates that Wix’s stock is undervalued and that it represents an attractive investment opportunity. Starboard generally demands of companies in which it takes a substantial stake that they should carry out changes that it believes will unlock value. Starboard said in its announcement that it was likely to take steps in the future, among them talks with Wix’s management and board of directors, with other shareholders, and with third parties, on mergers and acquisitions, selling parts of the business, improving the company’s financial performance, the purchase or sale of shares, and other matters.
Reuters also reports that Starboard has discussed its ideas with Wix’s management, and is not seeking seats on the board of directors at present.
Wix has a market cap of $4.4 billion. During the Covid-19 pandemic it enjoyed a surge in demand as people sought to digitize their businesses. As the pandemic receded and economies reopened, demand declined, and Wix’s share price is down 54% so far this year, and down 79% from the peak it reached in February 2021, when it had a market cap of $20 billion. In the second quarter of 2022, Wix posted a $111.2 million net loss, which compares with a profit of $37.6 million in the corresponding quarter of 2021. At the end of 2021, Wix had 222 registered users around the world, most of them using the free version of the company’s platform. Only about 6 million were premium subscribers.
Starboard began to build a position in Wix in late July, when it bought shares at prices between $64 and $73 and also carried out options trades.
The firm has previously taken stakes in Israeli companies Mellanox, DSPG, and Zoran, and in dual-listed Perrigo. It recently took a position in US software company Liveperson, which is also traded in Tel Aviv, a move that tuned into a control battle and ended in a compromise without unlocking value in any significant way.

ENERGY EXPENDITURE ACROSS THE ETOWAH CHEIFDOM: TESTING A HUMAN MODEL AGAINST ESTABLISHED ALGORITHMS**
Least Cost Analysis (LCA) can be used to assess the most calorically efficient way for a traveler to get between two points in the landscape. For anthropologists, LCA provides insight into travel routes and trade networks used by ancient peoples. Geographic information systems (GIS) and caloric algorithms are commonly used to find these pathways, however, few have been tested against actual human data. To this end, this study addresses two aims. First, it tests the validity of accepted algorithms against calorie output, step count, and heart rate data from living participants. Second, a thorough analysis of calorically efficient routes between related mound sites and secondary capitals of the Etowah chiefdom (1000- 1550 AD) has not been undertaken. Establishing cost effective travel routes will bolster analyses of social relationships in the area based on material culture. Water and foot travel routes are examined between four of these sites and the Etowah Indian Mounds (Cartersville, GA) incorporating weight bearing stress, topographical changes, and LCA models. The results of this study will establish a map of likely travel routes within the chiefdom and demonstrate the utility of using living participants in LCA.

6 New Railway Stations To Pop-Up In The Central Railway Line Soon For The First Time Ever
1 of 4
If, like most of us Mumbaikars, you have also travelled in railways all your adult life, you know that some railway lines are better than others and that some areas are more well-connected than their suburban counter parts. Have you ever made plans in the far-north of the city and abandoned them only because of the hassle that getting there may prove to be without a car? If yes, we have news for you.
After what feels like a lifetime, the Central Railway has announced that it will inaugurate not one but six new railway stations in the central suburbs. These new local stations are going to be on the extension of Uran line and Dighe station on Thane-Vashi corridor. These new stations will take the CR station tallies up from 80 to 86 and Mumbai's overall local station tally to 123.
According to Mid-Day, "The new line will be connected to the existing harbour line at two points. One arm will go to Nerul and the other to Belapur. Both these arms will converge at a junction point from Nerul and Belapur and the straight double line continues till Uran.".

The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of the Maharashtra government and the railway authorities are joining hands on this project to ensure better connectivity and consequently better development for the far-north suburbs of Mumbai.
And here's us hoping to one day find the whole of Mumbai thoroughly connected at all ends.

While the prices of raw materials will remain volatile over the next five years, demand from the Plastic and Resin Manufacturing industry's key buying markets is expected to rebound as the economy recovers. Furthermore, demand for resins and synthetic rubber will be driven by stronger industrial production and construction activity. Finally, a recovery in automobile manufacturing will stimulate modest growth.
This industry manufactures resins, plastic materials (i.e. polymers) and synthetic rubber. This includes thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins and synthetic rubber. Raw material inputs are sourced from chemical industries and industries involved in the production of petroleum-based feedstock.
The report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecast, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

According to Rassmussen(most accurate poll during the 2016 election), Donald Trump’s approval rating is 7 points higher than Obamas was at the very same time during his Presidency.
President Donald Trumpâ€™s approval rating is now higher than former President Barack Obamaâ€™s at this point in his presidency, according to the results of a daily poll released Tuesday.
As of Tuesday, 50 percent of likely voters in the United States approved of Trumpâ€™s job performance, according to the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. On this date during year two of Obamaâ€™s first term, 43 percent of likely voters approved of how the president was performing, the same poll found.
Now, of course, this is just one poll. Of course, polls are not perfect but that doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be covered. Donald Trump has officially cut through the media’s bias, Russian Narrative and of course the deep state operations to take him out. This also shows us one more thing. Not only does this show that Tax Reform was a success but it also uncovers another thing no one is talking about. This Poll shows us just how much the Russian Narrative affected Trump early on. With it having crumbled right back into the lap of the Democrats we have seen Trump’s approval rating rise and I can only guess it will continue to do so.

Blepharitis is a common condition, one which occurs with 1 in every 20 patients who complain of eye related problems at NHS GPs. This condition causes the eyelids or the corner of the eyes to become red, sore, itchy and inflamed and it can cause eyelids to stick together. Signs of Blepharitis are swelling around the eyelid area, crusty residue around the corners of the eye or on the eyelashes, and difficulty opening your eyes when you wake up. It is recommended that you visit your doctor or see an eye specialist if you are unable to manage these symptoms yourself or if you are suffering from
Encouraging your kids to wear glasses can be tough. Not only are they a bit of hassle, sometimes uncomfortable and yet another thing to remember to pack in the school bag every morning, but there’s a bit of a misapprehension that they might be ‘uncool’. And being ‘cool’ means everything when you’re young. But not wearing glasses when we need to can cause some serious problems; not only will it impair your child’s learning at school and make lessons more difficult, but not wearing glasses can create eye strain, eye fatigue, problems of asthenopia, double

1. Still Use Your Glasses
If, like many people likely to be reading this, you rely on glasses to keep your vision clear, you might be wondering how you could enjoy swimming in an environment where glasses seem impractical. After all, if you did enter the pool with your glasses, couldn’t they easily fall off and
Being back at work in January often means playing catch up after the long break and getting back into the swing of it all. If you’re finding the back-to-the-office ritual tough to handle, the last thing you need is your glasses steaming up, going all wonky and lopsided, or causing you headaches because they don’t fit your face properly. I’m sure that all glasses wearers will be able to agree that when you’re having one of those days where everything that could go wrong does go wrong, a pair of glasses slipping down your face or breaking in the middle of an important
Glasses can be a lot of things. They’re stylish. They’re sexy. They’re fashionable. And they’re chic. They can even be fun, funky, and the main feature of any outfit. But for those who have carried the burden of short sightedness and long sightedness for many years, they can be clumsy, cumbersome or just a royal pain in the backside. When they’re slipping down your face, lost amongst the junk on your desk or steaming up with condensation, wearing specs isn’t so fun. But today, we have some answers; some quick fixes that could change your life forever. Here

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets described his team's 5-1 El Clasico win without Lionel Messi as a "great achievement".
Luis Suarez stepped up in the absence of Messi, who is recovering from a broken arm, to score a hat-trick in a 5-1 thrashing of Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday.
RELATED | Suarez treble downs Lopetegui's men
Philippe Coutinho and Arturo Vidal were also on the scoresheet as under-fire Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui was put under further pressure.
Delivering such a result without their superstar Messi was massive for Barca, according to Busquets.
"It's a great achievement to win 5-1 without Messi," he told the club's website.
"Normally, when we have trouble, Leo helps us out but today the team stepped up."
Marcelo's 50th-minute goal brought Madrid back to 2-1, but Barca struck three times in the final quarter of an hour.
Busquets said his team knew it would get its opportunities as Madrid pushed for a way back into the game.
He said: "We knew that if we get through their pressure then we would have chances and then the counters came and the goals gave us a cushion."
While Barca are only a point clear atop LaLiga, they sit seven ahead of ninth-placed rival Madrid.

If we are yawning, it might be because of feeling sleepy or tired. Or we might be just imitating someone else who is yawning. Researchers at the University of Nottingham published a research paper revealing the reason behind people yawning when someone else does so. As per the scientific study it's all about contagious yawning. This is an automatic trigger of primitive reflexes in the brain's primary motor cortex. That is the area of the head which can navigate a person's motor function.
A scientific study, titled 'A neural basis for contagious yawning', has been published in the academic journal, Current Biology. This is yet another step towards a study into the underlying biology of neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as an exploration of novel therapies.
The new findings show some interesting conclusions. Firstly, we find it difficult to stop yawning if someone else near us is doing it. In fact, the desire to yawn increases if we are told not to. Even if we try to stifle our yawns, it might affect how we do it but it won't change our inclination to do so. Still, scientists have found that our urge to yawn and the inclination for contagious yawning varies from person to person.
Stephen Jackson, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, in the School of Psychology, was head of the team for the multidisciplinary research. He explained: "We suggest that these findings may be particularly important in understanding further the association between motor excitability and the occurrence of echophenomena in a wide range of clinical conditions that have been linked to increased cortical excitability and/or decreased physiological inhibition such as epilepsy, dementia, autism, and Tourette syndrome."
Contagious yawning is a common form of echophenomena, or the automatic imitation of another's words, also called echolalia; or actions also called echopraxia. The phenomenon is common not just among humans but even chimpanzees and dogs. Echophenomena is spotted among various clinical conditions that are related to increased cortical excitability of lowered physiological inhibitions, such as epilespsy, dementia, autism and Tourette syndrome.
While the neural basis for echophenomena is not known, the link with motor excitability has been studied by the Nottingham research group. The scientists used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), for which 36 adults were roped in. They were asked to view other living beings yawning, which made these volunteers either stifle their yawns or permit themselves to let themselves do it. As they were also videographed all through the experiment, the yawns, as well as repressed ones, were counted and recorded. Through electrical stimulation, they were also able to increase their urge.
Georgina Jackson, Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology in the Institute of Mental Health, said: "This research has shown that the 'urge' is increased by trying to stop yourself. Using electrical stimulation we were able to increase excitability and in doing so increase the propensity for contagious yawning. In Tourettes if we could reduce the excitability we might reduce the tics and that's what we are working on."
Funded by ESRC doctoral training award to Beverley J Brown, the test is part of Nottingham's new Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). It has been leading research into mental health technology, hoping to use brain imaging techniques in order to get a grip on neuromodulation.
Professor Stephen Jackson added: "If we can understand how alterations in cortical excitability give rise to neural disorders, we can potentially reverse them. We are looking for potential non-drug, personalised treatments, using TMS that might be effective in modulating imbalances in the brain networks."

Baku, Azerbaijan, September 30
By Nargiz Sadikhova - Trend:
Some 209 projects worth nearly 140 billion tenge have been approved in Kazakhstan within the framework of implementation of ‘economy of simple things’ program, a representative of the Ministry of Economy of Kazakhstan told Trend.
The ‘economy of simple things’ program has been approved in line with implementation of the State of the Nation Address of the president of Kazakhstan from October 5, 2018. The program is aimed at the development of manufacturing of consumer goods and on their import substitution.
“The implementation of the program is overseen within the roadmaps for development of food and processing industries, manufacturing of construction materials, furniture and light industries for 2019-2021,” the representative noted.
According to the official, the program includes introduction of a mechanism for subsidizing a part of a remuneration rate on loans.
“The subsidizing is implemented on loans, the nominal remuneration rate of which does not exceed annual 15 percent; six percent of them are paid for via private entrepreneurship ventures and the difference is being subsidized by the government,” the official said.
In conclusion, the representative of the ministry added that the ‘economy of simple things’ program has been created for and will provide for increase of tax payments to the budget, manufacturing of goods by private entrepreneurship ventures,and for creation of new work places.

How to grow ginger in pots: all the tips for growing ginger, from sowing to the care to devote to the plant.
Thegingerit is a plant that does not require details care for hiscultivation so you can have excellent results even if you are a beginner. Forgrowing ginger in potsOnly a few small measures will need to be implemented in order to guarantee the well-being of this formidable medicinal plant with a fleshy root. But let's continue step by step, let's see what are the characteristics of this plant.
Ginger, characteristics of the plant
Its botanical name isZingiber officinaleand it is aplanthighly appreciated both for its beneficial properties, for uses in the kitchen and also for its aesthetic value.
Ginger is oneperennial plant which faces annual cycles of vegetation. It can reach about a meter in height, with narrow green leaves and yellow or orange flowers.
Thegingerbelongs to the Zingiberaceae family, the same family as turmeric (Curcuma longa) and cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum).
This plant is native to the rainforest of South Asia, it is a tropical plant and therefore should be grown in a sheltered position.
Ginger, growing in pots
Here are the general directions onhow to grow ginger in pots.
- The temperature of the environment in which it comesgrown gingerit must never drop below 15 degrees.
- Choose a location where the plant can have filtered sun.
- It loves a soil rich in organic matter but, for thecultivation in pots, it will be necessary to pay attention to water stagnation.
- Keep the environment humid, so if the pot is placed in an air-conditioned room, spray the area or add expanded clay to the saucer.
How to grow ginger in pots
To start the cultivation of ginger, get one or more rhizomes (roots). Choose organic rhizomes if you buy the classics ginger roots in the supermarket, make sure they have not been treated otherwise they may not sprout. Like potatoes, ginger also undergoes anti-germination treatments.
If the rhizome has multiple shoots, just like growing potatoes, get more plants from a single tuber by cutting the rhizome into several pieces, each of which must have at least one pair of shoots.
For thecultivation in pots, get yourself a container that is large and deep enough because the roots require space for their development. More than pots, you should prepare planters or chests.
A vase with a size of 40 cm in diameter can accommodate 3 plants placed at 15-20 cm, one from the other.
The soil must be well drained, given by 50% of clayey-sandy soil and 50% of mature compost. Such a composition is ideal forgrow ginger, while the sand drains, the clay retains the minimum of moisture necessary for the development of the rhizome while the compost provides nourishment to the plant.
Water once a day, in the evening, from planting to the complete development of the plant. Irrigation should be thinned out when temperatures begin to drop.
When to harvest ginger?
Thegingerit can be collected after five or six months from the start of thecultivation. As with other tubers, the ideal moment for harvesting is indicated by the withering of the leaves. Harvest when the leaves are dry.
I know you will not like this but… to allow the maximum development of the rhizomes, you will have to sacrifice the flowering. When the plant blooms, remove stems and flowers so as not to steal nourishment from the rhizome.
When to grow ginger?
The best time to start grow ginger runs from the end of winter until the beginning of summer.
Can ginger be grown in the garden?
As stated, it is a tropical plant that needs a mild climate. Those who live in the far south, where the climate is particularly mild throughout the year, can grow ginger in the open ground.
Generally, however, it is recommended to perform the cultivation of ginger in potsso, during the summer,grow ginger on the balcony or in the garden, moving the pots outside, while in the winter months, you will have to bring the pots indoors.
In the photo above the beautiful onesginger flowers.
Ginger plants, where to find them
As stated, you cangrow gingerstarting from the fresh rhizomes you find in the supermarket. The only drawback is that these rhizomes have often been treated to avoid germination.
To be on the safe side, you can buy rhizomes to plant. Where is it? At the most well-stocked agricultural consortia or by taking advantage of online sales. On Amazon at "this address"You can find different purchase options.

BURLINGTON, MA, USA – 02/19/2014 – iBasis, a KPN company, announced today the findings from a survey on mobile operators attitudes about LTE Roaming. Part of the Telecoms Intelligence Annual Industry Survey, the LTE Roaming-specific results are published in a new white paper, LTE Roaming: Services, Structures and Charging Models, which is available on-line from a new information exchange portal:
Conducted and co-authored by Telecoms.com Intelligence, the survey reveals how mobile operators expect LTE Roaming pricing and structure to evolve, the justifications for a premium for select advanced services, and how operators may differentiate themselves. The survey also ranked the comparative importance of many factors in the LTE roaming mix, with Service Continuity and Guaranteed QoS topping the list while Price was ranked fourth.
Continuity and Quality of Service are natural concerns with any migration to new technology, which is why the multiservice IPX aspect of LTE Roaming is so important, said Chris Lennartz, Director or Product Management for Mobile Services at iBasis. LTE Roaming traffic is starting with data roaming, but soon more delay- and error-sensitive services such as VoLTE, RCS, Video and M2M will follow. IPX is designed to provide multi-service continuity in the transition to all-IP. It assigns differentiated classes of service quality to specific services over one integrated pipe, using virtual links that can be managed separately.
With 268 LTE networks in commercial service in 100 countries by February 5th this year, according to data from the Global Mobile Suppliers Association, LTE data networks are becoming well established. As a result, consumers in multiple countries are becoming accustomed to the higher bandwidth and quality experience of LTE and will demand that same experience when they roam.
LTE Roaming is central to mobile operator business models, and it is becoming increasingly clear that end users want and need access to the same services while overseas that they depend upon while at home, said Mike Hibberd, Telecoms.com Editorial Director. The survey results show opportunities for operators to deliver more sophisticated and appealingservices for roaming users, while guaranteeing service continuity and QoS along with improved visibility of spend and flexibility of charging model.
The survey also explored how various charging models, including price premiums, can be applied to LTE Roaming, and how mobile operators currently view various issues such as home routing and local breakout.
The Telecoms Intelligence survey report can be downloaded from lteroaming.info, a new information exchange portal initiated by iBasis to serve the LTE Roaming community by providing updates, encouraging conversation about the complexities of international roaming across 3G and 4G (LTE) networks, and exploring challenges and solutions and supporting a better understanding of the transition to all IP-networks.

“Exploring Cali” is a blog about exploring beautiful, natural places in California. Most of the places I visit with my daughter are relatively easy to get to by car and walking an easy hike. Everyone deserves to enjoy California’s beauty even if their health doesn’t allow for a long, strenuous hike or if they have a small child in tow like I do. Some places are wheelchair accessible and I will tag them as such.
I am a native of Ojai, a small valley in Southern California near the coast. I’ve also spent time living in other areas of California: the Central Valley, the Sierra Nevada foothills North of Sacramento, the North Coast and the Central Coast.

A European Perspective
Edited by Alberta Fabbricotti
Set in the context of growing interdisciplinarity in legal research, The Political Economy of International Law: A European Perspective provides a much-needed systematic and coherent review of the interactions between Political Economy and International Law. The book reflects the need felt by international lawyers to open their traditional frontiers to insights from other disciplines - and political economy in particular. The methodological approach of the book is to take the traditional list of topics for a general treatise of international law, and to systematically incorporate insights from political economy to each.
A Triangular Relationship
Edited by Jan Wouters, Jean-Christophe Defraigne and Matthieu Burnay
China, the European Union and the Developing World provides a comparative analysis of Chinese and EU influence across five different regions of the developing world: Asia-Pacific; South and Central Asia; the Middle East and North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; and Latin America. While there is broad acknowledgement that the importance of China is rising across the developing world, this book offers a comprehensive and comparative account of the relative increase of the Chinese presence in the various different regions. It highlights its impact on the relationship between the EU and the developing world regions and shows how the rise of China affects the relations between these regions and Europe.

By Jo Causon, CEO, The Institute of Customer Service
I wrote a few months ago about a new campaign launched by the Institute – Service with Respect – in response to the worrying rise in instances of hostility being faced by customer service staff throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. I’m encouraged to see that so many of our members have supported the campaign to date; sharing in our belief that the abuse of customer-facing staff is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
However, there is still a long way to go. Our research has shown that over half of all customer-facing employees have faced hostility through this crisis, as frustrated customers continue to kick back against increased restrictions, from the wearing of face masks to curfews and social distancing. Through both our research and our All-Party Parliamentary Group meetings, we have had concerning reports coming out of all sectors – with instances ranging from being shouted and sworn at to, in extreme cases, physically assaulted.
More worrying still, is that this problem is not isolated to face-to-face interactions. Customer service professionals working in contact centres are also reporting instances of hostility when dealing with customers over the phone and online. When we consider the challenges already faced by these employees in trying to support customers effectively whilst working from home, the emotional and psychological impacts of this sort of behaviour can be severe, and it must be taken seriously. Our customer service professionals deserve respect and protection from abuse.
After all, these are the very people who have been working tirelessly throughout the coronavirus crisis to keep the nation running. From retail workers to bank staff and transport operators – they have been on the frontline, ensuring we have been provided with vital services and support when we needed it the most. What’s more, as we look to rebuild our battered economy, service professionals will be at the heart of recovery efforts. With 80% of the UK’s GDP generated by the service sector, maintaining and nurturing efficient and effective service will be crucial to rebuild from the crisis, and ensure the nation can continue to compete on the global stage after leaving the European Union.
With the support of many of our members, we are calling on the Government to do more to protect these vital workers by introducing a new, standalone offence for those who assault customer-facing employees. Several MPs from across the political spectrum are also helping push for this. But this is not a job for the Government alone. Organisations must also play their part; stepping up to ensure their people have the level of support and training they need to handle the challenging and ever-growing requirements of their role. This is not only the right thing to do, but a business necessity. Employee satisfaction levels are intrinsically linked to business performance – plus, our research shows customers are increasingly beginning to take notice of the treatment of staff by others. In an increasingly challenging economy, many just won’t engage with a brand whose employees they see as treated poorly.
As the challenges brought on by the pandemic continue to unfold, it is vital for both our society and economy that Government and businesses show customer-facing staff they are a valued part of our nation. This starts with providing a safe working environment, free from abuse.

Deepika Padukone has decided to step down from the duties of being the chairperson of Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI). Deepika had took over the position in 2019 but decided to depart claiming her ‘slate of work’ is preventing her from giving her ‘undivided focus and attention’ to MAMI.
Taking to Instagram stories, Deepika issued a statement that reads, “Being on the board of MAMI and serving as chairperson has been a deeply enriching experience. As an artist, it was invigorating to bring together cinema and talent from all over the world to Mumbai, my second home. I have come to realise however, that with my current slate of work, I will be unable to give MAMI the undivided focus and attention it requires. I depart knowing that MAMI is in the best hands possible and that my bond and connection with the academy is one that will last a lifetime.”
At MAMI 2019, Deepika had made her first appearance as the film festival’s chairperson. She had said in her opening statement, “Cinema has the power to make us less lonely when we are. In the age of digital streaming and social media that is slowly but surely is isolating us, the Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) binds us without boundaries, inhibitions and most importantly without fear. As an artiste who truly believes in the power of cinema, I say we need this more than ever before.”
On the work front, Deepika will be seen opposite Ranveer Singh in ’83, Shakun Batra’s untitled project that also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. She also will be seen in the official Hindi remake of The Intern that also stars Amitabh Bachchan.

Pearl Harbor casualty laid to rest in Pensacola
Fred Sollie watched as the USS Oklahoma was hit with the first torpedo.
About a quarter of a mile away on the moored USS Schley, he saw the ship take hit after hit until he knew for sure there was no way his older brother Walter, a water tender onboard, would come away from Pearl Harbor alive. Or at all.
The brothers were separated by a wide age gap of 14 years, but had always been close. They had celebrated Thanksgiving together, thousands of miles away from their home in Alabama, just days earlier.
“(Walter) was the older brother, he was kind of that protective influence,” Fred’s daughter, Iris Plowman, said. “I think my dad really looked up to him and that’s why he went into the Navy rather than some other branch of service.”
The story of Walter Sollie’s remains being returned to Pensacola after more than 75 years in an unnamed grave is not one of a war hero returned so much as it is one of brotherhood and family.
Fred survived Pearl Harbor and came home to Pensacola, where he stayed until his death in 1999. Though he always kept memories of Walter, Fred never lived to see his brother returned home. But as of Friday, they’re together again.
Dozens of family members gathered at the Pensacola Naval Air Station Chapel on Friday morning to pay their final respects to a man many of them never met.
For those who braved the cold, wet and windy Pensacola weather Friday morning, the grieving had already been done by the generations that came before. There were few tears, few sentimental anecdotes.
Sollie had only one child, a boy, who died as an infant. His closest relatives were his siblings, nieces and nephews.
“It’s not like your typical funeral where a military person dies and you’re in such deep grief, that’s been done a long time ago. Seventy-five years ago his mother and brothers had to deal with that,” Plowman said.
“What we’re dealing with is the joy of his homecoming, being able to bring him home again and that’s the emotion we’re feeling more than anything else.”
The attack on the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor killed 429 crewmen. After sustaining multiple torpedo hits, the vessel capsized, trapping anyone who may otherwise have survived inside.
It took three years for Navy personnel to recover the remains of the deceased crew, but due to the condition of the bodies, they remained unidentified and were buried in mass graves with a simple plaque that listed names aboard the USS Oklahoma.
It wasn’t until April 2015 when the Deputy Secretary of Defense issued a policy memorandum that crews exhume the remains in an attempt to identify the crewmen who died during the attack.
Sollie’s remains were identified following dental record examination and a mitochondrial DNA match with two great nieces.
Plowman herself never met ‘Uncle Henry,’ as the family calls him. Her only knowledge of him comes from the stories her father seldom told.
“He didn’t talk about it a lot when we were younger, but … later in life he wrote articles for different magazines and newspapers and would tell the story, so really we heard more about it in his writing,” she said. “He really didn’t just sit around and talk about it, I think it was just one of those memories that’s so traumatic you didn’t really share it, it was just kind of within you all the time.”
Both Fred and Walter were water tenders on their respective ships during Pearl Harbor, and as such, Fred knew intimately the details of where Walter would have been on the ship at the time of attack.
The job of a water tender is in the engine room, meaning Walter would have been deep in the bowels of the ship ensuring the engine had the fresh water it needed during that morning shift.

He was only eight minutes from the end of his work day after which he likely would’ve gone on deck and had a better chance of joining the list of 37 USS Oklahoma survivors.
He might’ve met Fred for the movie they had planned to see later that day, or married the young nurse he had met during his service and proposed to after a month.
It didn’t take long for the news of the capsize to make it home to Alabama, where Walter’s then 9-year-old niece Jean Bodiford was in the kitchen listening to her two younger brothers argue about who was bigger.
One was 4 and one was 8, so there was hardly a comparison to be made. She remembers the smell of fresh gingerbread and of learning the importance of family in those following seconds.
“I remember dad was standing over the radio and I looked at him and I still can’t forget the look on his face,” she said. “I always thought men didn’t cry and that’s the moment when I learned that they did.”
The family, spread between Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, gathered in the days following to process the complex emotion of mourning the loss of Walter with the relief of learning that Fred survived.
“Everybody was hugging each other and crying. I can’t remember a word anybody said, I just remember what they did and the love they showed me,” Bodiford said.
“(My grandma) wrapped those long arms around all three of us kids at once and that’s when I realized that a hug is a different way to say ‘I love you.’”
Friday’s ceremony, more than 70 years later, was the same kind of intimate affair. It was family members coming together to recognize the loss their parents and grandparents felt generations ago at the death of the very same man.
“All the boys in the family joined the military, and my Uncle Henry was the oldest boy and the first one to join,” Plowman said.
“From photographs we have in albums, he seems like kind of a fun-loving guy but a very dedicated sailor too. He was good at what he did and a very good serviceman.”
Sollie was buried with Fred at Barrancas National Cemetery at NAS Pensacola early Friday afternoon.
It took 75 years, but the family finally has closure, and the Sollie brothers once again have each other.

It's been a tough year for crops in Kentucky in our area.
"The corn crop in western Kentucky is a disaster. 77 percent of the corn crop in Kentucky is rated poor or very poor," said KY Ag Commissioner Jamie Comer.
The numbers are staggering, and it's about to affect everyone in the marketplace.
"We're trying to prepare the consumers for what's about to happen. The price of what they buy at the grocery store is going to increase, and they'll start seeing the increases in probably within a month, and those increases will stretch throughout a full year," said Comer.
While the year hasn't been good on the crops, today was a bright spot for the future of farming.
It was the Kentucky Junior Livestock Expo in Bowling Green, where students from all over Kentucky got to come learn about livestock and farming.
Organizers say this event is just about helping the kids, regardless of what they want to be.
"We would think maybe part of the kids would end up being livestock farmers, being farmers some day, and doing it the right way, being great caretakers of the land, and great animal people. The simple fact is most of these kids, we're making good kids," said organizer, Warren Beeler.
For participant, Jessey Craig, it's his last expo, but showing animals is his passion.
"I love competing. I've been doing it my whole life. After this, we'll be going to the state fair, which is in August, and compete there," said Craig.
On Saturday, he'll get a chance to show off his market lambs as the expo continues.


Over 1,500 new samples tested positive for the coronavirus in Nigeria for the fourth day in a row.
With the Saturday count, over 9,500 infections have been recorded within the past seven days.
Lagos was top of the list on Saturday with 573 fresh cases, followed by FCT with 182, and Plateau with 162.
The number of new recoveries showed some level of increase with 865 patients discharged on Saturday — the figure included 419 patients in Lagos, 123 in Gombe, and 117 in Plateau.
Eight persons died of COVID-19 complications on Saturday, making it a total of 61 fatalities so far recorded in 2021.
Although Nigeria has now exceeded one million tests, the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 has expressed concern about the low testing across states, considering that less than five percent of the country’s population has so far been tested for the virus.
A total of 99,063 cases of the virus have now been confirmed across the country, out of which 1,350 deaths and 79,417 recoveries have been recorded.
The number of active cases currently stands at 18,296.

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson will face John Howard in a welterweight title, while Eliot Marshall will face Vladimir Matyushenko in a 205-pound showdown. The two fights join main event Brandon Vera vs. Jon Jones as the first three fights official for the card.
Johnson fell short against contender Josh Koscheck in the co-main event of UFC 106 last November, tapping to a rear-naked choke in the second round. He had won three in a row in the UFC prior to the loss.
Howard is a top prospect who has quietly compiled three straight wins in the UFC, and six straight overall. Last month, the Boston fighter knocked out Dennis Hallman.
Marshall, who fights out of Boulder, was on season seven of The Ultimate Fighter. He has won all three of his fights in the Octagon against Jules Bruchez, Vinny Magalhaes and Jason Brilz.
Matyushenko had been scheduled to fight earlier this month at UFC 108, but opponent Steve Cantwell withdrew due to undisclosed reasons. A former IFL champion, Matyushenko won his UFC debut last September at UFC 103 against Igor Pokrajac.
