Online slot is a casino game that uses random number generators to determine the outcome of each spin. It is one of the most popular forms of gambling and can offer large payouts for players who are lucky enough to hit a jackpot. Online slots are also more convenient than their brick-and-mortar counterparts, and can be played on a variety of devices. However, gambling is still a dangerous activity, and it is important to gamble responsibly and only with funds that you can afford to lose.
While many people enjoy playing slots for fun, some players may experience problems with addiction. To help prevent this, it is important to understand the risks associated with gambling and take precautions to keep your gaming in check. Responsible gambling tools such as time and money limits are commonplace in online slot casinos, and can help you control your spending. In addition, some websites offer support programs for problem gamblers, including hotlines and self-exclusion rules.
Unlike physical slots, online slots are based on computer algorithms that generate random numbers for each spin. The result is a game that is fair and has no house edge. Online slots can have more paylines than their land-based counterparts, and some feature extra reels for increased potential payouts. Some also offer bonus features such as sticky wilds, symbol transformations and multipliers.
Another important factor to consider when choosing an online slot is its volatility level. This is an indicator of how often the game pays out and can have a significant effect on your overall winning or losing streaks. Some players prefer low volatility slots, while others like higher volatility games that may not pay out as often but have bigger payouts when they do.
The best online slots have a wide range of themes and graphics to appeal to players of all tastes. You can choose from classic fruit machines with three reels, video slots with five or more reels and progressive jackpot games that can pay out six-figure amounts if you hit the right combination. Some of these games are based on popular movies, TV shows and rock bands, while others have a more generic theme. Regardless of your preference, the best online slots have easy-to-use controls and are available in many languages. They also accept various payment methods, including credit cards, e-checks and prepaid cards. Lastly, they allow you to deposit and withdraw your winnings quickly and securely.

We all dream of travelling right now and even more, of fun food and dishes that we can’t get in our hometowns. One destination you should visit once you can is Braga in Portugal. This city was considered the Best European Destination in 2021. Braga is close to Porto and located in a lovely region called Minho, known for its fabulous green wines and hearty, comforting dishes.
What dishes should you eat in Braga?
Fish. Fish and especially cod is big in Portugal. The cod is usually dried and then prepared in one of many ways. One of them is ‘Bacalhau à Braga’, fried cod with onions, peppers and tomato, served with crispy potatoes. Another is ‘Bacalhau à Narcisa’, spiced with cloves, bay leaves and garnished with a dense cornbread.
Try ‘Caldo Verde’, a creamy, light green soup made from the traditional Portuguese kale. It also includes potatoes, pieces of sausage, and garlic. A truly comforting dish, not to miss. ‘Frigideiras’ is another specialty from Braga. It’s a pastry with several buttery and crunchy layers, similar to a puff pastry, filled with meat. The meat can be spiced with garlic, onions and sometimes the savoury pastry contains some Bechamel sauce, too.
If you feel like trying a rice dish, there is ‘Pica no chão’, a creamy risotto-like dish. Rice is cooked together with preferably home-raised and corn fed chicken and any other vegetables that can be found during the season. The better the chicken broth, the better the dish!
Other dishes to try are ‘Papas Sarrabulho’, potatoes cooked with different meats, pork blood, cumin and lemon and are served as a soup or a side dish. ‘Rojões à Minhota’ are fried pieces of pork that have been previously marinated in white wine and garlic. ‘Cabrito Assado à Moda de Braga’ is an oven roasted goat, accompanied by rice and potatoes. It’s a very festive dish, often found during Easter celebrations.
Fancy some sweet stuff? ‘Pudim Abade de Priscos’ can be found in any traditional restaurant as dessert. It’s a custard pudding, rich and sweet, made from a lot of egg yolks. It’s slightly firmer on the outside and often soft in the middle, having a little jiggle when giving it a small push. Try also ‘Tibias’ (there is a pastry shop only dedicated to them, it’s called Tibias de Braga), a pastry made from choux dough, filled with cream, sometimes with fruit, and dusted with powdered sugar. Finally, ‘Francezinha’ is not only famous in Porto. There are great Francezinha places in Braga as well, such as Taberna Belga.
Ah, and don’t forget to have some glasses of Vinho Verde, which is from the Minho region.
Which restaurants to try in Braga?
1. Tabique Restaurant
Tabique is a young restaurant on the more modern side, with a laid back and cosy interior. Dishes have a modern twist, but are based on traditional dishes and Portuguese ingredients. On the menu you’ll find interesting compositions like stuffed partridge on a puree of chestnuts and grapes or mussels with a spicy tomato sauce and almond piccata.
Another amazing restaurant, featuring many local, traditional dishes, presented in an exclusive and beautiful way. Fried cod fillet, local soups, rich meat and potato dishes or seafood – everyone can find something they like, here. Comfortable, wide armchairs, tables covered in white table cloths, along with rustic walls and cosy lightning will ensure a memorable dinner experience.
Centurium is a more chic, classic restaurant that has plenty of traditional dishes for you to choose from. From meat, to fish and seafood, the offer is large and everything here looks tasty. Located just next to the historical center it’s perfect for lunch or dinner after visiting Braga.
It might be strange seeing a Japanese restaurant on this list, but this spot apparently is one of the best Japanese places in the North of Portugal. Michizaki is impressive with it’s great quality produce, aesthetic plating and interesting dishes – A restaurant to try when pausing from Portuguese food for one evening. The menu goes far beyond ‘just’ sushi.
A genuine, traditional restaurant with non-pretentious dishes. Retrokitchen’s menu changes very frequently, with different meat and vegetable dishes as well as very tasty looking desserts. The interior is simple with vintage vibes. Wooden tables and chairs, old and more modern decoration and an outdoor space that looks very inviting.
6. Casa de Pasto das Carvalheiras
All dishes at Casa de Pasto das Carvalheiras are very flavourful, tastefully plated and well thought through. Fried octopus on big white beans, seared tuna with pepper, coriander and peanuts, or beef wellington, all are dishes you can find here. The overall menu is a mix of Portuguese and Mediterranean influences with a modern twist.
7. Bem me quer
If you want to taste the regional cuisine of Minho in a rustic and cozy atmosphere and with a family service, the Bem-Me-Quer Restaurant is the ideal place. This restaurant is located in the building of the former Casa de Pastos Bem-Me-Quer pension, in Campo das Hortas, next to the Arco da Porta Nova.
8. Restaurante Inácio
Renovated last June 19 while maintaining its gastronomic “backbone”, Inácio restaurant reopened with the signature of chef Paula Peliteiro. It serves regional food, with a refined and contemporary touch.
9. Dona Julia
Dona Júlia is located next to one of the most famous curves of the old Falperra circuit. In this restaurant you can find four different spaces: the Red, Blue, Green room and one magnificent terrace. The differentiated rooms emerged in order to maintain the original structure of the building, resulting in four spaces that perfectly combine modern and rustic design.
10. Dona Elvira
Located in Adaúfe parish, in Braga, right next to Cávado river, Dona Elvira offers everything that the public looks for in a restaurant: good food, a great customer service and a nice space where elegance and simplicity reign.

The central character, brighter by contrast to the other three, stares into the middle distance. Perhaps she is waiting for a prospective client, sizing one up, or signalling her availability. Her gesture with her finger is, Clayton suggests, a sexual signal suggesting fellatio. (On the other she might just be biting off a bit of annoying nail whilst eyeing up a prospect...)
As observers our view is complex. Can we see the reflection of the street in the glass of the cafe window, behind the girl, as though Degas is intimating that the bright lights and scurrying figures of bourgeois Parisian night life are merely illusions in constant flux? Or are we in the cafe itself, looking out onto the terrace and street?
The sun is set against the dawn, the orange color against the gray and the vibrant force of the sun against its motionless surroundings. To many spectators, the sun undulates or pulsates slightly. Why is this so? The sun is nearly the same luminance as the grayish clouds. Notice how the sun nearly disappears if you remove the color. (Click painting to reset.) This lack of contrast explains the painting's eerie quality.
The sun is perceived differently is different parts of our mind. To the more primitive subdivisions of our brain, the sun is nearly invisible. But to the primate subdivision, the sun appears normal. Thus, there is an inconsistency between our perception of the sun in the primitive and primate portions of our brain. The sun is poorly defined and ambiguous to the portion of our brain that carries information about position and movement.
If Monet had painted the sun brighter than the clouds (as indeed it is), the painting might be less interesting. If you artificially make the sun brighter or darker (as it is in reality), the primitive brain sees it better. But does that make the painting better or worse?
Throughout the years, Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise has been celebrated as the quintessential symbol of the Impressionist Movement. This renowned work of art which illustrates a view of the port of Le Havre in north-western France is considered to be one of Monet's "most poetic expressions" of his engagement with France's revitalization efforts after the Franco-Prussian War. Unlike other artworks of the time, the subject matter and specific painting techniques evident in Impression, Sunrise seek to transcribe the feelings initiated by a scene rather than simply rendering the details of a particular landscape. This act of expressing an individual's perception of nature was a key characteristic and goal of Impressionist art, and is a common motif found in Monet's paintings. While Impression, Sunrise and Monet's artistic technique fell under harsh criticism at their outset, Monet's masterpiece gave birth to a new movement and created a revolution in the world of art.

A MAN attacked a woman with a one-metre piece of wood, twice trying to strike her in the head, a court has heard.
Scott Anthony Pearce, 25, was jailed for four months yesterday after he pleaded guilty to recklessly causing injury to the woman on February 23 this year.
He sat next to his mother in the front row of Ballarat Magistrates Court before being taken into custody.
The court heard that Pearce and the victim had been arguing outside a Black Hill apartment on the evening in question, when he returned to his unit nearby.
Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Pepe Brown said Pearce grabbed a one-metre-long piece of wood, which was approximately 25 by 50 millimetres thick, then ran back to the victim.
Pearce swung at the woman twice, aiming for her head, the first time striking her left arm which she’d raised to protect herself.
The second swing connected with her chest as she again attempted to defend herself.
The victim managed to scramble inside her unit and lock the door before calling an ambulance.
She suffered bruising, swelling and grazes.
When interviewed by police, Pearce said he was acting in self-defence and that she’d tried to punch him.
Defence lawyer Vincent Peters urged the court to consider a community corrections order, despite his client breaching a suspended sentence.
He said Pearce had “some undiagnosed conditions”, citing his client’s intellect as a possible contributor to the offending.
“He doesn’t appear to have a mental impairment. He just functions at a low level,” Mr Peters said.
“He has a lot of feeling and the only way he releases it is a burst of anger.”
But Mr Peters said his client had found a unique outlet for his temper.
“The one thing that stands out ... more than anything else, is that he’s developed a garden,” Mr Peters said.
“Gardening, believe it or not, has been a great therapy for him.”
Magistrate Peter Couzens rejected Mr Peters’ submission on sentence, instead jailing Pearce four months.
“He was shown a great deal of leniency by corrections (previously),” Mr Couzens said. “Unfortunately he’s continued to drink heavily and use cannabis.”

We have finished, for the time being, our time on the coast and headed into the mountains. The drive from Puerto Escondido to Oaxaca is only about 158 miles but it took us 7 1/2 hours because of the severe elevation gain and switchback city with the roads. Although it was a long drive it was beautiful and not nearly as nerve racking as driving along the coast because the road was in much better condition. Oaxaca is a beautiful historic city set at about 6,500 feet which has been a central hub for many of the indigenous tribes in this area of mexico. We were able to visit one of the largest archeological sites in the area called Monte Alban. It was quite an experience to see ruins that had been there for up to 2,500 years. The sure don't build them like they used to. Jessi and I have come to love this city because of the diversity of food and a really good price. It is funny because all the best food we have eaten has cost the least amount of money. About 20 pesos for a good carne asada taco, which translates to $1.85. They grill the meat right in front of you, throw it on a plate with some beans, give you ten tortillas with a bunch of spicy condiments and you go to town.
We love the food so much we have adopted that style of cooking and enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner of black beans with onion, jalapeño, cilantro, traditional Oaxacan cheese, and of course hot sauce. We leave Oaxaca tomorrow for San Cristobol but have a feeling that we could spend a lot of time here in the future.

Bhopal: Former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj flew four times in a Bell 407 (B-407) helicopter owned by the Madhya Pradesh government in 2016 even though the Union Home Ministry had banned the use of single-engine helicopters for VIPs due to security concerns.
BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who was the Chief Minister from 2005 to 2018, did not use the same helicopter after 2009, the first year the Union Home Ministry red flagged the use of single-engine helicopters. The Union ministry issued two more circulars on February 2 and October 10, 2018, continuing the ban on single-engine helicopters and planes for VIP duty.
The facts emerged during a debate on a motion in the MP Assembly moved by MLA Rajvardhan Singh recently. Law and Aviation Minister P C Sharma was responding to the motion in the presence of Chouhan and CM Kamal Nath.
“Was the CM’s (Chouhan’s) life more important than Sushma Swaraj or other (state) ministers who used the helicopter? Is a CM the only VIP? Are Union Cabinet ministers and state Cabinet ministers not considered VIPs?” the Congress MLA had asked.

Pauline Quirke doesn’t know how she’ll be written out of Emmerdale
As fans of the show will probably know, Pauline is leaving her role as Hazel Rhodes in order to take a stage show of Birds of a Feather on the road with her fellow leading ladies, Lesley Joseph and Linda Robson.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Pauline said, “I don’t know how I’ll be leaving the Dales. I don’t even know if it’ll be with a bang or a whimper.
“But they’ve said they’re not going to kill me off, which is nice.”
As Hazel, Pauline has of course been playing the role of a grieving mum, and so has often appeared on-screen looking “haggard”, however, she says this has nothing to do with her dramatic weight loss.
She said, “I haven’t worn make-up on camera for months, which hasn’t exactly helped what people have called my ‘haggard’ appearance.”
And of leaving, Pauline said, “I’ll miss Emmerdale. It’s the most beautiful location and I’ve made some fantastic friends.”

Wolfson has tracked Spinoza to his lair in a work of scholarship and erudition hard to duplicate. The Philosophy of Spinoza is a commentary, frequently brilliant and revelatory, on every definition, axiom and proposition of the Ethics...He argues his thesis with persuasion and wit...and writes in a style that is a model of clarity. His is a work of first magnitude. (New Republic)
No one will read his book without being stirred to enthusiasm for its rigorous comprehensiveness, its scrupulous lucidity, and the asceticism of its devotion not only to the thought of Spinoza, but to that vast learning to which Spinoza fell heir. (Saturday Review)
When the investigation is of such magistral scholarship and pointed clarity as this longawaited work...it is of moment that it be called to the attention of all laymen with the least pretensions to philosophy. Wolfson's scholarship is just such as to give the reader the help in understanding Spinoza that he needs. (New York Times)
About the Author
Harry Austryn Wolfson was Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy, Emeritus, Harvard University.

Locating Spinoza on the cusp between the medieval and the modern worlds, he maintains that Spinoza is at once the last of the medievals and the first of the moderns. Tagging these two aspects of Spinoza's thought "Baruch" and "Benedictus," Wolfson argues that in order to understand what "Benedictus" says, it is necessary to reconstruct what has "passed through the mind of Baruch."
And that is just what Wolfson attempts to do. His work is a systematic and basically self-explanatory presentation of what Spinoza said and thought, with the _Ethics_ naturally taken as the central text in need of explication. With monumental thoroughness, Wolfson dissects Spinoza's writings on numerous matters of philosophy and theology and (most helpfully) compares his thought on many points with that of Moses Maimonides (whom Wolfson names as one of the three dominant influences on Spinoza's thought, the other two being Descartes and -- sometimes indirectly -- Aristotle). And in general, Wolfson's familiarity with relevant Jewish philosophical literature is a tremendous asset put to good use.
Wolfson concludes his examination with a chapter entitled, "What is New in Spinoza?" Here he argues that Spinoza undertook three "acts of daring" by way of repairing breaks within the unity and homogeneity of nature as conceived by his predecessors: he declared that God has the attribute of extension as well as of thought; he denied design and purpose in God; and he insisted on the complete inseparability of the soul from the body. That Spinoza thereby departed from the traditional theologies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and what implications this departure has for Spinoza's rational theology, is the subject of the remainder of the closing chapter.
In portions of his work, Wolfson tends to rely on psychological rather than philosophical explanation in order to set out why Spinoza holds certain views. This is in some respects a defensible approach (and Wolfson, of course, does defend it). However, Wolfson's work should probably be supplemented by a good commentary on purely philosophical questions. It is too bad H.H. Joachim's _Study of the Ethics of Spinoza_ is no longer in print, for it fills the bill admirably.

Available from: http://sni.wpengine.com/surgicalint_articles/endoscopic-removal-of-subgaleal-hematoma-in-a-7-year-old-patient-treated-with-anticoagulant-and-antiplatelet-agents/
Background:Subgaleal hematomas frequently occur in children after head trauma and extend over the cranial sutures. Although conservative treatment suffices in most cases, surgical removal of a subgaleal hematoma is indicated when the patient presents with anemia and headache associated with its progressive enlargement.
Case Description:We present the case of a 7-year-old boy who was medicated with warfarin and aspirin due to a hypoplastic left ventricle and fell from a rock wherein he hit his head in the frontal region. Although a computed tomography scan of the head revealed no intracranial lesion, an extracranial hematoma was found to extend over the cranial sutures, leading to the diagnosis of subgaleal hematoma. The hematoma continued to grow gradually despite the cessation of warfarin and aspirin therapy immediately after the head trauma. Since the patient's headache and anemia were progressing as the hematoma enlarged, removal of the hematoma was performed 3 days after admission. Endoscopic hematoma removal was planned to enable accurate coagulation of the sites of bleeding and removal of the maximal amount of hematoma through minimal incision. The hematoma was completely removed, and the patient's postoperative course was excellent with alleviation of both the anemia and the headache. No sign of hematoma recurrence could be detected during 2 years follow-up.
Conclusion:An angled endoscope can allow visualization of the deep subgaleal space, and this technique enabled direct visualization of the bleeding sites and accurate coagulation to prevent recurrence of hematoma. Endoscopic techniques, such as minimally invasive techniques, can allow sufficient removal of subgaleal hematoma with minimal morbidity, especially in patients such as ours.
Keywords: Anticoagulant agent, endoscope, removal, subgaleal hematoma
Subgaleal hematomas, defined as hematomas extending over the cranial sutures, frequently arise in children after head trauma. In most cases, conservative treatment is the preferred option because adhesion between the galea aponeurotica and the periosteum restricts the extent of the hematoma. In special cases, however, the hematoma enlarges extraordinarily past these adhesions, and the patients thus affected suffer from progressive anemia followed by the lethargy and headache resulting from the excessive distension of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue. In such cases, hematoma removal is performed in order to relieve the symptoms.[
In our case, a 7-year-old boy medicated with warfarin and aspirin suffered from a giant and growing subgaleal hematoma, and endoscopic removal of the hematoma was performed with an excellent clinical outcome. The possibility of adequately removing such giant subgaleal hematomas via endoscope is discussed.
A 7-year-old boy who was medicated with warfarin and aspirin due to a hypoplastic left ventricle fell from a rock with a height of 3 m and hit his head in the frontal region. He became stuporous and was transferred to a local hospital. Neurological examination revealed mild disturbance of consciousness without any focal deficits. Physical examination demonstrated the frontal region to be remarkably swollen. The swelling was soft and extremely tender. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed an extensive subcutaneous hematoma over the cranial sutures, indicating subgaleal hematoma without intracranial lesions. Conservative treatment including cessation of the warfarin and aspirin therapy was instituted. Rapid neutralization with a vitamin K2 agent was not performed because the patient's prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) of 1.44 and 5-min bleeding time at admission were not remarkably outside the normal range.
However, the subgaleal hematoma gradually grew to surround the anterior part of the cranial vault in spite of compression with bandage to the head [
The patient was placed in a supine position under general anesthesia. A local anesthetic agent was infiltrated at the midline of the planned entry site to reach the subgaleal hematoma. A skin incision approximately 2 cm long was made along the hairline and used to introduce the endoscope and the surgical instruments [
The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. His headache diminished immediately and the anemia also began to resolve within a week. No sign of recurrence could be found during 2 years follow-up after the resumption of warfarin and aspirin therapy.
Subgaleal hematomas frequently occur in children after head trauma and extend over the cranial sutures. Although conservative treatment suffices in most cases, surgical removal can be considered, if the growth of the hematoma causes symptoms such as headache and anemia. In our case, the hematoma gradually grew and led to progress symptoms in spite of less invasive compression with bandages for 2 days, therefore, removal of hematoma was performed. Some authors have reported that although subgaleal hematomas in patients with coagulopathy tend to be as large as intracerebral hematomas, surgical removal of the hematoma results in an excellent outcome.[
In our case, we planned surgical removal of the subgaleal hematoma with a rigid endoscope. The advantages of the endoscope were considered to be as follows: First, it did not require an extensive skin incision. Second, removal of the part of the hematoma near the incision created the working space for the endoscope, which could then be advanced deeper into the subcutaneous space. The rigid endoscope was also used as a retractor to pull up the skin stretched by the subgaleal hematoma. Third, an angled endoscope can allow clear visualization of the deep subgaleal space. Fourth, this technique enabled direct visualization of the sites of bleeding and accurate coagulation thereof to prevent recurrence of hematoma in the subgaleal space.
Chater-Cure and colleagues have described the endoscopy-assisted removal of periorbital inclusion cysts in children. They also used a small incision behind the hairline in the child's forehead and advanced the rigid endoscope through the subgaleal plane.[
The limitations of this procedure are the techniques available to control the bleeding and the possibility that the consistency of the hematoma will preclude aspiration in the deeper subgaleal space. If the bleeding appears to come from many sites that are difficult to coagulate, conversion from endoscopic to open surgery should be considered.[
Endoscopic techniques have been advanced along with the recent trend toward invasive neurosurgery. These minimally invasive techniques can allow sufficient removal of subgaleal hematoma with minimal morbidity, especially in patients such as ours. In addition, the utility of endoscopic techniques for the removal of subgaleal hematoma should be confirmed after long-term follow-up.

By Kirk Johannesen, The Republic
Columbus Components Group has notified all employees that the plant will close July 31.
Jerry Wagner, office manager for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1424, confirmed the planned closure and said layoffs would begin June 30.
CCG stated in a letter to employees that the shutdown will affect 215 people. Wagner said the plant has 112 union and nonunion employees, so he thinks the company's total includes salaried and office workers.
The company laid off 123 union and non-union employees April 9, leaving 138 at the time.
Employees were notified of the closure in meetings Wednesday during the two work shifts.
Indiana Department of Workforce Development Thursday received a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter from CCG.
The letter read that recent and unforeseeable circumstances, including customers canceling orders, and the loss of banking credit lines necessitated the shutdown.
Not a surprise
Mayor Fred Armstrong Thursday morning received from CCG a certified letter about the closing. "I'm not shocked whatsoever," Armstrong said. "I think poor management was some of it, and the economy some.
"This was going to happen," he said. "When you have your customers pay for materials before they get the product it gets tough. I don't know if the owners really cared."
Wagner disputes that the shutdown was unforeseeable because the company had stated in WARN letters sent to DWD in February and March that the plant might close.
"(CCG President) Rick Holmes knew that we were closing. I don't know why he put anything like that in the (latest letter)," Wagner said.
The company stated in a February letter to union members that unless they accepted wage cuts and reductions in benefits, the plant could close by March 1.
The union voted in February to accept a 5 percent pay cut, an increase in insurance premiums and deductibles and suspension of company contributions to employees' 401(k) plans.
Wagner said Holmes told workers that the plant would not close.
CCG laid off 25 hourly and 12 salaried workers in early March.
IBEW Local 1424 responded by filing with the National Labor Relations Board a charge of badfaith bargaining against CCG.
CCG cited in a March letters to the city and employees that declining sales and the economy were reasons it would lay off workers April 9.
Wagner, however, contended that the company abandoned light-duty automotive work to focus almost exclusively on heavy-duty automotive work.
11th closure for owner
CCG owner Patrick James and former owners Jay Schabel and Mike Klinginsmith have closed at least 10 manufacturing plants in North America in the last 10 years, eliminating at least 1,500 jobs and leaving suppliers and employees owed money.
Default judgments against CCG totaling $61,861.84 have been awarded to three companies this year. Five lawsuits and two liens by seven companies are seeking $418,312.31 for non-payments of services or products.
Armstrong said he doubts the city will recoup any money from the 10-year, $600,000 property tax abatement given to CCG in 2007 for machinery.
CCG employed 520 in 2004 when James, Schabel and Klinginsmith bought the company.
Unless someone is willing to buy the plant, CCG's closure will end a long history in Columbus. For decades the plant was part of Arvin Industries, Arvin Inc. and ArvinMeritor. Arvin began in 1919 as Indianapolis Air Pump Co. and was moved to Columbus in 1925.
Messages left for Holmes were not returned. CCG representatives repeatedly have refused to comment on layoffs, contract negotiations or possible closure.

Dr. Durbin is not taking any summer students.
Dr. Anna Durbin is a Scientist at MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions in the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael’s Hospital.
The aim of Dr. Durbin’s research is to identify needs and evaluate interventions to enhance recovery of individuals experiencing marginalization. My work focuses primarily on three groups: (i) individuals with mental health and addictions problems, (ii) adults experiencing homelessness, and (iii) adults with developmental disabilities . The long-term goal is to increase these individuals’ ability to live stable and fulfilling lives in the community.
To do this, Dr. Durbin’s research draws on two pillars. The first pillar is evaluation of interventions with the aim of building real-world solutions to complex problems for adults experiencing marginalization in the groups noted above. The second pillar is development of novel data sources and tools to identify gaps in care. Better information can guide prevention and intervention development and research. An important component of this is bringing together different perspectives, or first-time collaborators.
Dr. Durbin earned her Masters of Public Health (Epidemiology) and Doctorate (Health Services Research) from the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health and Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, respectively.

This post is a follow up to my last one (Dirty Tricks - 24th October 2020) .
Now that the state election is done and dusted, it's a good time to reflect on Palmer's activity, and the result.
His intention was apparently to ensure that Labor wasn't returned to government. To put it mildly, that has backfired spectacularly.
He spent, according to reports, $83 million dollars in his efforts to smear Labor. His message was clear and simple, and entirely negative. Often, negative advertising is quite effective, especially when this much cash is thrown at it. In this case, it seems to have been completely useless.
Full page advertisements in all the syndicated local papers up and down the coast, blanket Youtube ads featuring his wife, and unsolicited SMS messages were thrown at everybody with abandon.
In my case, I contacted Mineralogy, the source of the messages, according to the accompanying blurb, and requested that my phone number be removed from the UAP's database, to no avail.
The person who answered the phone promised apologetically to meet my request, but the messages kept coming.
This arrogance is probably a large part of the reason his campaign fell flat. Queensland voters aren't stupid. Most people object to their personal information being used without consent, and this probably got many people offside.
The Youtube ads featuring his wife were also probably counter productive. In my case, looking at her face as she read the cue board in wooden fashion, the only emotion elicited was sympathy. Apparently, the voters of Currumbin (where she was a candidate) had much the same reaction.
Palmer is the closest thing in this country corresponding to the US PAC phenomenon , and it's gratifying to see that Queenslanders, at least, aren't impressed.
Clive has learned (the hard way) that in this country, at least, democracy can't be bought and sold.
The media, especially the syndacted local papers have gleefully pocketed the $83 million. It might keep them afloat for a while longer.

Since May 2019, it has been possible to legally stream and gamble on Philadelphia sports. To place a wager, you need to be at least 21 years old, have a valid U.S. social security number and live within the state of Pennsylvania. You may be able to bet even if you don’t live in Pennsylvania, but this will depend on your state’s laws. Reputable wagering sites will verify your location. Here’s more about how to start streaming and gambling on sports in Philadelphia.
Find a sports betting site
Players are now able to enjoy sports betting on many gambling sites, and they can also download sports betting apps. Online sports betting allows you the convenience of sports betting online from your mobile device. It offers all the favorite ways to sports bet, such as over/unders, spread, moneyline, props, teasers and parlays. You can also bet on many different sports such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey and golf.
See if live streaming is offered
Live streaming betting sites are becoming commonplace in the online sportsbook market. You can experience live action and get some top promotions if you’re a first-time player. There’s a great thrill in watching a live game that you have action on. You can get a feel of the flow of the game and its trajectory rather than just relying on live stats updates. With live streaming has come a rise in sports gambling. Any game available on a live stream sports betting site is available to you on your mobile device.
Register on the site to place wagers
After you register with an online gambling site, you can place wagers on a sports event as it takes place. This wasn’t possible in the past, and you would have to place your bet before the match and hope for the best. Now you can bet on sports events as they are being played, with the odds changing all the time to reflect what’s happening in the game.
You will love the excitement of in-play betting. If the team you’ve selected is playing well, you can place more bets on them. If they are not playing well, you can place a bet on the opposing team. If you want to win online slots, it can be difficult, but you have more of a chance to win with sports betting.
Many different types of sports bets
Football and tennis are two of the top live sports you can bet on, but there are many others. Live betting isn’t just about the final score, as you can place bets on so many different things. If you see a football player is on form, you can place a bet on him scoring the next goal. If players are committing many fouls, you may want to place a bet on someone being sent off. Odds on markets such as this will be offered throughout the match.

Posts Tagged ‘Terrorism’
Two subjects dominated conversation as we cleaned out the hens this morning. Obviously the first of these was the hacking to death of a British soldier by madmen invoking the name of Allah. That the two terrorists felt it appropriate to then hold conversatins with the public along the lines of “an eye for an eye” was surely the final confirmation that the age of politically-correct policing must be swept aside.
The terrible irony of the appalling scene just 400 metres from the Royal Artillary barracks is that the victim was in civilian clothes and wearing a ‘Help the Heroes’ T-shirt. For some time now our troops have been under orders not to wear uniforms for fear of attack, an appalling concession in our own capital. Evidence that this is justified was provided by the rhetoric of the two madmen which was reminiscent of that used by al-Qaida -influenced propaganda, in particular the reference to “our land” – phraseology used by violent jihadists to describe Muslim territory being despoiled by western soldiers. But here we have men reported to be British.
During the astonishing twenty minutes that it took the police to appear a number of brave women confronted and attempted to calm the murderers. They were told that “You people will never be safe”. And that is the threat that must be responded to, and quickly.
If the authorities fail once again to show resolve there is a real danger to the public, not least the vast majority of peace-loving ethnic communities. Already members of the racist organisations such as the EDF have taken to the streets, and that must be stopped before it escalates. But above all else it is time to sweep aside the inhibiting factors that make tackling home-grown terrorism so difficult.
Any day now we will hear talk of the human rights of the two men in custody. They are entitled to none. We have already heard of the influence of certain mosques and we should reflect on what would happen to an Anglican or Catholic church that was allowing seditious preaching. And we have already heard of the reaction of community leaders when the only people allowed such status should be those elected by the people as a whole, regardless of race or creed.
Cuts to police numbers must be halted and reversed. People leaving the country to join terrorist training camps must be arrested on re-entry. Seditious websites must be closed down. The restriction on ‘stop-and-search’ must be lifted.
It is of course too early to attempt absolute conclusions about this outrage, this evidence that our own soldiers are no longer safe to walk our streets. But one thing is clear, most people have had enough of a soft-pedal approach to people lauded this morning on the Islamist website al-Shamoukh al-Islam which tells the world that “Allah is the greatest – the liquidation of a British soldier in their own home – South London”.
We can expect the chattering classes to dismiss ideas that will “imperil freedom of speech” and “give police undemocratic powers. We should surely ignore them and focus instead on the bloodstained pavement where our appeasement obsessed society failed an innocent young man.
TIME TO LISTEN TO THE DOCTORS!
In a survey of health care professionals published today 73 per cent say that quality of care is not given enough priority. The summary says; “In future those leading the NHS at national level must demonstrate that caring and compassion are core values within the service”. The survey goes on to warn that the plethora of new NHS organisations set up last month had “increased the risk to patients”.
In a seperate development the BMA GP committee has said that the dubious system of handing out-of-hours care to private agencies must be replaced by the return of the system when local groups of GPs worked as a co-operative to provide care at evenings and weekends. Chairman Dr Laurence Buckman says that “most co-operatives would be itching to remutualise if they could”.
Many GP surgeries are this morning displaying posters demanding less red tape and more time for patients. Given the lengthy waits to see a doctor now in being, they are likely to hear many an Amen from their patients.
Oh for Churchill. His practice of imposing an “Action this day” solution to challenges seems very distant now!
The party mentioned yesterday went on into the small hours. Judging by the number of bottles we hurled into the recycling wheelie we had a good time, but my recollection is vague. I do remember Albert having a fall-out with Mrs Albert, but from that unsurprising point things become a little blurred.
So that morning-after feeling was abroad on the allotments this morning. But at least we are alive. Strange remark? I use it only because we have learned that a member of a terror gang which plotted to blow up Big Ben and Westminister Abbey has been released “on the quiet” after his sentence was cut by judges.
Mohibur Rahman’s five-year term for having al-Qaida magazines featuring bomb-making instructions – handed down in February 2012 – was reduced to four and a half years by judges. Rahman was part of a nine-strong gang who also plotted to target Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye in a “Mumbai-style” bomb blitz. The Stoke-based plotter is now out on licence.
The media will undoubtedly make great play of the fact that the sentence was reduced by none other than Lord Leveson. But that misses the key point, which is surely that people committed to acts of terrorism are free to roam the streets at all. Which raises a very difficult dilemna. How can any society condone locking people up permanently to prevent them doing something? But if it doesn’t, how does society prevent the inevitable.
A measure of the problem developing in this country is indicated by a statement from hate cleric Anjem Choudary, 45, who has previously admitted teaching six of the nine Stock Exchange bomb plot gang, including Rahman. He has praised the terror plotter as an ‘upstanding’ member of the community and a “good role model”.
The only consolation the public can draw is that, after release, terrorist offenders on licence are managed through Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements. But all of the agencies involved are suffering cuts and all are unable to maintain detailed surveillance.
Sadly there is no simple solution. But protection of human rights must apply both ways. At the very least citizens travelling abroad for training in terrorism should be barred from re-entry. And those living here who are not British citizens should be sent packing.
None of us will rest easy at any aspect of this developing threat. All of us would prefer to pretend things are as they always were, all of us would prefer not to even think about the new enemies within.
But someone has to get a grip, we can’t continue to slash police and security numbers yet expect every plot to be dealt with before our streets become places of carnage!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY; ”William Hague may be good at telling jokes, but every time you come to a critical question of judgement he gets it wrong!”……Tony Blair 28/11/1999
Two sunny mornings on the trot. Blue skies make all the difference, suddenly life feels good. Even Albert was cheerful this morning, less so when someone mentioned that, no, this is not the start of summer, merely a brief interlude between monsoons. But for the moment our efforts at attracting bees are paying dividends. There were masses of them around the sunflowers and runner bean flowers. Incidentally there were also large numbers of sparrows, creatures we haven’t seen in this neck of the woods for yonks.
It is on such mornings that I reflect on the greatest failure of collective leadership since the first world war. The Earth’s living systems are collapsing, and the leaders of some of the most powerful nations – the United States, the UK, Germany, Russia – could not even bother to turn up and discuss it at last week’s Earth summit in Rio. Those that did pledged only to pursue “sustained growth”, the primary cause of the biosphere’s losses. World governments, which have performed such miracles in developing stealth bombers and drone warfare, global markets and trillion-dollar bailouts are not even prepared to spend a tenth of the energy they devoted to these projects on defending our living planets. They have abandoned the fight to save so much of what we hold dear; the forests, the brooks, the wetlands, the coral reefs, the glaciers, the birdsong and the night chorus.
Just another example of the folly of so much being entrusted to politicians who think only as far as their next election. But at least we can all draw some comfort from doing our little bit to support wildlife. Every allotment, every garden can make a small contribution and, to quote the dreaded Tesco, every little helps.
What we cannot do anything about is the growing threat of terrorism by British, yes ‘British’, citizens. The chattering classes continue to bang on about innocent until proved guilty and human rights. Meantime, we had an update yesterday from Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5.
Giving the Lord Mayor’s annual Defence and Security lecture, he said that the so-called Arab Spring, so passionately supported by the British government, has opened up new bases for exporting jihad. In almost every uprising it is not democracy as we know it that has emerged but hardline Muslim fundamentalists, inimically hostile to the West.
The result is that the opportunities for British would-be jihadists to seek training in the art of terrorism have increased fourfold. Right now, Jonathan Evans revealed, several hundred Brits are making their way to Arab countries for training. All are known to the security boffins. Equally well known are, he said, individuals “working in back rooms in the UK on plans to mount credible terrorist attacks”.
So since we know the identity of most of these lunatics why leave them to their own devices? That is where Nick Clegg and all the bleeding hearts come into play. We cannot punish peole for intent they say, intent in itself is not a crime. So our whole legal structure is based on the principle that until they actually convert a bus load of innocents to body parts they cannot be apprehended. Result is that the security forces can only match cunning with cunning. Since 9/11 no fewer than 43 plots have been identified and thwarted. But the would-be perpetrators are still free to try again.
Sooner or later the security people will miss one. If we continue to handicap them with human-rights laws that is an inevitability. Surely the time has come to strengthen their arm. Why should it not be a criminal offence for any British citizen to attend al-Qa’ida training camps? Human rights? What about those of the proposed victims?
An emotional response in pubs and clubs across the country is that since these madmen love the Islamist states so much they should go to live there. But that is not an answer, these people are mainly British by birth. The multi-cultural society of which many are rightly proud has a flip side.. They cannot be deported, they belong here.
Yes there are sensible arguments about the need for better social conditions in our inner cities, where housing and employment failures provide breeding grounds for those who dream of Islamic domination. But we are where we are.
Perhaps our dear leader could take time off from talking about policies he may, or may not, introduce in four years time, to consider how thousands of deaths at the hands of the known enemies in our midst can be avoided.
On this issue at least he could rely on public support when Nick Clegg begins to rant about a threat to democracy. There is a greater threat!

My tiny hands are frozen, crooned Tom as we hacked away at the iced-up hen water troughs this morning. What followed might have warmed the cockles of Gareth Malone’s heart, it could equally have brought the men in white coats, were any left after the Lansley cull. Here were nine old codgers at dawn singing in harmony (slight overstatement) at an hour when respectable codgers are still in bed. Perhaps we have finally succumbed, perhaps we are all completely mad.
Our country certainly is. The highest courts in the land had rightly decided that the radical Islamist cleric Abu Qatada is a threat to our security. No great surprise there since every TV viewer in the land has seen pictures of him advocating the murder of British troops and similar treatment for the civilian population. Human Rights advocates point out that he has been detained without having committed a crime, the rest of us tend to the view that persuading madmen to commit murder is about as dangerous a crime as there can be.
Having failed to gain release from the British courts, Qatada’s legal team - how much does all this cost us – appealed to the European court of human rights. The rest was entirely predictable. He is to be released this week and, within a short time, the stringent bail conditions will be ended and he will be a free man. Sources close to him confirm that he fully intends to resume his programme of indoctrination and incitement. Who is running this country?
Theresa May, who is rapidly challenging Andrew Lansley for the loopiest minister award, had a rough time in the Commons yesterday. The attacks came almost exclusively from her own backbenchers, presumably the few Lib Dem and Labour members that bothered to attend are happy that Strasbourg has taken over control of law in Britain. Various Tory MPs demanded immediate legislation to repeal the Human Rights Act and suspend British membership of the European convention on human rights. Not as revolutionary as it sounds since, during the election, David Cameron pledged to do just that and to introduce a UK Bill of Rights. Of course that was before he became entangled with Nick Clegg.
Theresa May said that it was vital that Qatada was not still in this country at the time of the Olympics. Most of us would tend to the view that he shouldn’t be here at all. We wonder how it was that he came here in the first place. He was expelled from the Gulf States and presumably saw Britain as a good operating base, somewhere he could manipulate the asylum laws to ensure he stayed here. In theory all European countries obey the Strasbourg court, the reality is different. We never question it.
Some day soon members of the public will be killed as a result of our blind acceptance of such rulings. The Home Secretary was surely right to say that dangerous terrorists should be in gaol and dangerous foreign ones should be in foreign gaols. But when an MP urged her to achieve fame by ignoring the ruling and deporting Abu Qatada to Jordan, she was lost for words. The truth is that the Lib Dems would not allow it.
And so the dangerous and frustrating practice goes on. This is not really a political issue at all, no one is suggesting that politicians be given powers to deport whoever they wish. But the British courts are perfectly capable of making the right decisions. Both the Lib Dem and Labour parties have turned this into a political issue, but they seem incapable of grasping the mood of the country. Most Brits do not want our police investigations to be directed from Germany, or extraditions to Poland for trivial offences such as cycling the wrong way up a one-way street. Neither do they want European Courts to sit above our Supreme Court which is no longer supreme.
We are in the worst of all worlds. Cameron is by instinct a pragmatist, and he will never press the button whilst his coalition buddies talk on about greater European integration being good with a capital G. The opposition seems blinded by a slavish adherence to its own dogma and will never support a clash with the European courts. Sooner or later they will have blood on their hands.
I haven’t spoken to anyone who believes other than that Abu Qatada should be deported. But many seem to see the control from Strasbourg as a good thing so far as our police are concerned.They reflect the widespread unease at the evidence of the Metropolitan Police being in cahoots with the Murdoch organisation. And more evidence continues to emerge.
Today we learn that it was not Chris Huhne’s former wife, Vicky Pryce, that gave the police the evidence they sought to instigate proceedings against the minister. It was the Sunday Times which saw fit to commit its cardinal journalistic sin of shopping a source as a way of helping its friend Knacker. And Mr Huhne was the most outspoken critic of Murdoch at the time when the government was preparing to nod through the takeover of BSkyB. The police still have friends in News International and are simply untrustworthy. But that is not an argument for surrendering powers, it is a case for cleaning up our own mess.
We face a simple decision on terrorism. We either bow the knee and accept in our midst those who openly advocate terrible violence, or we show a little backbone. Cameron is also a populist and clearly doesn’t recognise that on this issue he would not be seen as the isolated abuser of human rights that the bleeding hearts threaten!

This report includes a statewide analysis showing the relationship between high household financial burdens for housing and transportation costs and low regional economic recovery from 2008 to 2013. Virginia counties and regions exhibited similar patterns and we suspect that this relationship is not isolated to the 5-year time period that was analyzed. We recommend that the Virginia Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and transit agencies within the State consider these dynamics as they plan infrastructure investments and other system improvements. The same is true for housing development planning throughout the State, and that other locational costs, like transportation, be explicitly part of the planning process.

15 world's most bizarre natural phenomena
Probably one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see on earth are the northern lights, otherwise known as aurora borealis. Predominantly seen in high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) areas, the aurora is a natural display of lights in the sky. The phenomenon occurs when certain particles connect with the Earth’s magnetic shield and then journey to the North Pole where they correlate with the atmosphere’s upper layers. The released energy is what is referred to as the Northern Lights. The best time to see the aurora lights in Greenland is on a dark autumn or winter night. If you don’t mind the cold, head to Alaska for better views.

Each week we feature a fantastic deal to a destination we think you’ll love. Now we’re letting you choose where that destination should be.
What would YOU like to see as our deal of the week? Each week, we’ll give you four great options, each offering an entirely different travel experience. You can vote for your favourite destination on Facebook – and the destination with the most votes will become the next Deal of the Week. We’ll go off and source a great package with an irresistible price for the destination you want most.
So where should our first customer-determined Deal of the Week be? This week the choices are pretty tempting – head on over to Facebook to vote and the destination with the most votes by 9am GMT Monday 22 October will become the Deal of the Week that goes live on Thursday.
Option 1: Barcelona
The enchanting city of Barcelona is a visual delight, and has an atmosphere that combines elegance and sophistication with provincial charm. In exploring its streets you’ll discover medieval romance in its Gothic quarter and the awe-inspiring delights of the fantastic and sometimes outrageous Art Nouveau architecture of Gaudi and his contemporaries.
Option 2: Tenerife
The largest of the Canary Islands and a firm favourite among British holiday-makers, Tenerife has everything a traveller could want: from golden sandy beaches, to exotic forests, soaring mountains and rolling deserts. It’s a beach-goer’s, scuba-diver’s, hiker’s, mountain-biker’s and desert-lover’s dream. Or, if you simply enjoy a good book on the beach under the sun, Tenerife is great for that too.
Option 3: Prague
The Czech Republic’s capital and international showpiece, Prague is one of the most popular destinations in Eastern Europe. Its attraction lies in the physical beauty of the city with 600 years of architecture amazingly untouched by war. The centre has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it demands to be explored on foot, an entire outdoor museum of history and a haphazard mixture of splendid architecture.
Option 4: Boston
Boston‘s streets are meandering paths that lend it a compact European feel and make it an ideal city to explore on foot. The Freedom Trail is a four kilometre walk that takes you past the city’s historic landmarks, charting its growth from a 17th Century fishing port to the thriving metropolis it is today. Take a leisurely stroll through Boston Common before perusing the wonderful shopping and dining options that abound at Quicey’s Market.
This week’s Deal of the Week could have you rummaging for Christmas presents at the world’s largest market – Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, with 4 nights, 4* including direct flights just £299.

Oh, there is just so much to love about Molly & Nir’s wedding: the beautiful chuppa where all of Molly & Nir’s bridal party and their families stood during the ceremony; the pre-ceremony cocktails; the lovely rendition of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero’s ‘Home’ performed during the ceremony; the crazy dance party during the reception, which included an exhilarating hora; the post-ceremony photos throughout the harbor and on a boat! And then, of course, there’s the super sweet couple, Molly & Nir, with their infectious love for life & each other, who were an absolute joy to photograph from start to finish. So, so much to love about this wedding!
A special thanks to Meagan & Charli at Maine Seasons Events for helping to ensure that the entire weekend went off without a hitch! The following are just a sampling of my favorite photos, mostly on film, from their wedding in Camden, Maine earlier this month. Enjoy!

US designer Akia says, “I started Dr. Charlie Untangled, first, as an homage to my grandparents who had been calling me Dr. Charlie since the day I applied for grad school. But DCU also serves as a form of expression of my love for myself, science, yarn crafts, black people, and my journey of untangling it all—my hair, grad school and the aftermath, family struggles, the woes of #adulting, and being a black woman in America. Alas, here I am, thrust into the real world trying to make the most of it!” Each pattern is accompanied by a thoughtful essay about the design and its meaning. The BLM scarf is amazing.http://drcharlieuntangled.com

Low Water on the Mississippi River 2022-11-23 19:53:42
OK, so it has been 3 years since I posted anything on my site. That's shameful. I'll try to do better. For what it's worth, I've been busy. Perhaps I'll post some videos and pics of what I've been doing.
Meanwhile, please enjoy this video taken during a period of very low water of the Mississippi River at Memphis.
Flying Above the Dominican Republic 2019-03-24 14:40:43
We got back from a week-long trip to the Dominican Republic recently, and while the photos I got from my phone turned out well, I particularly liked the video from the DJI Mavic Pro. See if you agree...
Aerial Footage Over Salina, in the Aeolian Islands 2018-08-17 23:18:41
Salina is a beautiful island in the middle of the Aeolian Islands, north of Sicily. Katherine, her parents, and I spent a pleasant few days there, visiting different towns on the island, and visiting with friends.
DJI Mavic Pro Aerial Photography 2017-05-29 13:18:23
In March 2017, I got a DJI Mavic Pro, which is commonly called a "drone" but is really just a fancy flying camera. The Mavic has four foldable arms that allow the entire aircraft to fold up to something about the size of a water bottle, but it uses a camera with a gimble and can shoot 4K video. All in all, a very impressive machine.
I've shot a few sequences with it, and these are two of the best I've edited together. If I don't crash it, I hope to add more soon!
One Second Everyday - October to December 2016 2017-03-05 16:57:45
Since 2013, I've been recording one second every day using the 1 Second Everyday app and saving them to 3-month and year-long movies. I continued doing this through 2016 but stopped after New Years Eve, so these are the last movies from that effort.
I've enjoyed saving these seconds and preserving snippets of time with family and friends, and I think these seconds will be more valuable to me in the future, as way to go back and relive, if just for a moment, a small part of my day from over a 3.5 year period.
For the 10th iteration of our annual walk across Memphis, Richie, Robert, John, and I wandered south from the cobblestones of downtown, through Tom Lee Park, and over into Arkansas, thanks to the wonderful, new Big River Crossing.
During the time we've been doing these walks, we've seen a transformation at the riverfront. From new structures, like Beale Street Landing, to a beach volleyball court near Riverside Drive, to the completion of the Riverwalk, it has been rewarding to watch Memphis invest in fun things to do downtown. The Big River Crossing is the latest icing on the cake, which still far from being finished.
After crossing back to Tennessee on sidewalk next to I-55, we continued heading south, going through the French Fort neighborhood and Riverside Golf Course, eventually going into T.O. Fuller State Park, where a golf course has been allowed to return nature, with beautiful results.
After being hassled by the modern version of a railroad bull, we made our way over to Hwy 61, before returning downtown via Uber for some well-deserved beers.

For more than a month, much of China has been blanketed by extreme heat. From June 16 to July 9, local governments issued 1,372 high-temperature “code reds,” indicating temperatures are expected to rise above 40 degrees Celsius within 24 hours. Nationally, 71 meteorological stations have reported record highs since the start of June, including many in regions not traditionally associated with high heat. In one blistering stretch, surface temperatures measured by a station in the central province of Henan reached 74.1 degrees Celsius.
The scientific consensus is that the earth is warming. Researchers estimate that global average temperatures have increased by approximately one degree Celsius since the advent of industrialization. Temperatures in China have risen even faster in recent decades. Since 1950, the annual average temperature in China has increased by 0.24 degrees Celsius every 10 years.
Although the damage done by heat waves is not as visible as other side effects of climate change like extreme precipitation or floods, rising temperatures are already causing tens of thousands of deaths in China every year.
Assistant Professor Liu Zhao
To better understand the scale of this challenge, my research team and I reviewed records related to summer heat waves across 31 cities from 1961 to 2020. They point to a simple truth: heat waves are getting longer, stronger, and hotter, with direct consequences for our health.

US comedian Charlie Murphy has died at the age of 57 following a battle with leukaemia.
The prominent stand-up and actor, who was the older brother of Eddie Murphy, passed away at a New York hospital on Wednesday, his publicist has confirmed.
According to TMZ, Murphy had been undergoing chemotherapy at the time of his death.
The comedian had a career as a successful stand-up comic in the US before becoming a household name through Dave Chappelle’s Comedy Central skit show.

He also worked alongside his brother as a writer on films including Norbit, and appeared on screen in Night at the Museum and Our Family Wedding.
Murphy’s most recent acting credit was US television series Power, in which he played Marshal Williams.
Members of the comedy community paid tribute to the star, including Chris Rock, who wrote on Twitter: “We just lost one of the funniest most real brothers of all time . Charlie Murphy RIP.”
Russell Simmons posted: “Just came out of meditation and learned that one of my friends and my biggest comedy idol passed. Damn I loved Charlie Murphy.”
The last tweet sent from Murphy’s account, posted just a few hours before news of his death was announced read: “Rise & Grind: “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” - Abraham Lincoln.”
