Dr. Dean Ornish, world renowned heart surgeon and cardiologist, once described surgical interventions to treat heart disease in the absence of healthy lifestyle changes as if the sink is overflowing with water and you grab a mop to start cleaning up without first turning off the faucet. Doesn’t make much sense, does it? If the cause of the overflowing sink isn’t addressed, then you will be continually frustrated while mopping as hard as you can. What if every time a physician was asked to treat a patient they not only treated the problem but they also treated the cause of the problem? Effectively turning off the faucet. In Bonner County, Idaho an attempt to do just that is underway.
Smoking is one cause of illness that most people are aware of. The American Heart Association has led the way in studying techniques to aid in smoking cessation population wide. One of the techniques identified involves an intervention by physicians. In some cases, this may mean writing a prescription for a medication to help ease the craving or to counter the effects of nicotine. But an equally powerful technique necessitates a physician looking directly at a patient and stating in no uncertain terms, “You must stop smoking now!” It is surprising how many patients state that they have never been told this by their own doctor and once they were told, they found the strength to stop. Others discovered that when told to quit, their desire to do so increased yet they still struggled with knowing the means to success.
The Bonner County Coalition for Health (BCCH) has created a tool to help physicians tell their patients that they must make a lifestyle change now (like stop smoking or eat more vegetables for example) and to help them find the means to do so. The tool is called “Healthy Lifestyle Rx”. These are non-pharmaceutical prescription pads individualized to each health care organization. A physician may write a prescription and hand it to the patient just as they would a prescription for a medication. A cardiology practice might be most interested in stopping smoking and blood pressure management with a low sodium diet. An OB/GYN practice might be most interested in having their patient enroll in the WIC program or engage in a walking program. These specific recommendations will appear on their individualized prescription pad.
Unique to this program in Bonner County is the addition of a website link. Each pad has the newly created BCCH website address printed on it. Since physicians are over burdened with paperwork these days, the idea of adding one more task was not well received. By adding a website to the pads, we have allowed the patients to go to a place to get clarification after they have left the physician office. The website offers a button that mimics the logo on the Healthy Lifestyle Pads for each organization. A patient simply finds the logo that matches the prescription they were given, clicks on it and is taken to the page that describes exactly what their physician would like for them to do.
In the process of creating this tool, we discovered another excellent website resource in our county. It is The Sandpoint Community Resource Center (SCRC). They too have a website and are now linked to the BCCH website. A patient can look up health resources on the SCRC site and be taken directly to the BCCH site. Additionally, the Healthy Lifestyle Rx links are readily available on the SCCR website. This has been a wonderful collaboration that helps all residents of Bonner County and beyond.

Though youthful children can now begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, New York City public faculty college students will be required to wear face masks whereas in class for the foreseeable future, officials mentioned.
“I would keep the masks in place at least in the short term because they have really worked,” Mayor Invoice de Blasio advised reporters throughout a press convention Thursday. “Kids have adapted to them well and the adults have adapted to them well.”
Final week, the U.S. Meals and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for the usage of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on children ages 5 via 11 with youthful children ready to get the vaccine starting Thursday. Identical to when children between the ages of 12 and 17 had been licensed to get the shot, City and State officials are encouraging mother and father to get their children inoculated towards the virus in order to lower the variety of new circumstances and push New York out of the pandemic. Inoculating each youngster in the age vary would stop 38,000 new circumstances of the virus, in accordance to New York City Well being Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi.
Up to now, over 12 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in New York City ensuing in 74% of adults dwelling throughout the 5 boroughs being at the least partially vaccinated and 78% of children between the ages of 12 and 17 have gotten at the least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, the one inoculation accepted for use on youngsters.
However it’s still too early, officials say, to arrange an finish date to masks mandates in schools.
“I miss seeing little kids’ faces,” mentioned Gov. Kathy Hochul throughout a Thursday interview with City & State Journal. “There will come a time, hopefully, sooner rather than later, when the masks will not be necessary but we are just not there yet.”
So as to declare the “era of masks” over, Hochul inspired mother and father to get their youthful children vaccinated towards the virus, reminding them that children obtain a slew of pictures earlier than beginning faculty in extra regular occasions.
Well being officials urged mother and father to hold reinforcing mask-wearing to their children for the time being particularly because the temperature drops.
“We have to resist the temptation to throw cautions to the wind too quickly,” mentioned Chokshi. “We are bringing on board a very, very important additional layer of protection with vaccinating our five to eleven-year-olds but remember it will take us some time for people to get to a fully vaccinated stage and to get a sufficient number of kids vaccinated.”

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Every few years a new TV show comes along that accurately represents a generation.
Phoebe Robinson is setting out to do just that by capturing the reality of being a millennial 30-something who is still finding her footing as an adult in her new Freeform show Everything’s Trash. Robinson has had a successful career as a comedian, a New York Times best-selling book author, and hosted HBO’s 2 Dope Queens with Jessica Williams. But on the show, Robinson plays Phoebe, a less-than-perfect podcaster who also works in media and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Phoebe has a vibrant personality and a circle of supportive and loving friends and family, who support her as she figures out how to deal with her messy love life, finances, career, and other aspects of her life.
Her brother, Jayden (Jordan Carlos) seemingly has his life together, making Phoebe feel as if she is falling short. Season 1 kicks off with Jayden launching a political campaign, forcing Phoebe to clean up her act and start her adulting journey so as not to ruin her brother’s chances at success (Though she does end up sleeping with someone working on the campaign staff for her brother’s opponent.)
Robinson’s real-life brother is a state representative in Ohio, and the storyline for the show of a struggling and broke podcaster trying to make things meet is also inspired by the comedian’s past. While there are shows like Sex and the City that have been criticized for their unrealistic portrayal of being a creator in New York City, Robinson is setting out to tell a more authentic story, showing people’s flaws and weak spots, which are usually what makes us all more human and more connected.
“Seeing the mess is always more interesting, seeing people figure stuff out and exploring their flaws has always been really intriguing to me as a storyteller and I really wanted that to be a part of the show,” Robinson tells Complex. “People can really identify with that, whether you’re a teenager, in your twenties or thirties. I think that’s something people relate to.”
Society makes people, especially women, believe that they are falling behind if they haven’t achieved their goals by a certain age. Robinson, whose career picked up speed in her 30s, knows that’s not true. Episode 2 titled “Black Excellence Is Trash” also shows the toxicity that can come from the pressure to be perfect, especially for Black women. The series attempts to explore why the comparison game is unnecessary by showing that you don’t have to be an overachiever to be valuable, and you don’t have to be chasing what everyone else is chasing to fit in—everyone has their own, unique strengths and journeys.
The new show, which was based on Robinson’s 2018 book Everything’s Trash, But It’s Okay, premieres on Freeform on Wednesday, July 13. Complex visited the show’s set in Brooklyn last month and caught up with the show’s creator, where she told us all about her inspiration for her new scripted comedy and why it was important for her to show a different reality for women in their 30s.
How are you feeling now after having such a great career with comedy and writing to now making your own show?
Phoebe Robinson: I am so excited about Everything’s Trash. I have been wanting to have my own scripted comedy for a while. I’ve been working on it, trying to make it happen for five years and I teamed up with my showrunner Jonathan Groff three years ago. So it’s like three years in the making with this baby and I’m really excited. I think it is fun and young and sexy and smart. I think people are really going to connect with this. I can’t wait for people to watch.
For so long people have said Sex and the City is the “New York show.” You previously said you’re living your Black Carrie Bradshaw fantasy with this show, but you also made the story more real. Why did you decide to make the financial aspect of Phoebe’s story so important?
PR: I mean, I’ve been doing comedy for 14 years. I’ll say for the first 10 I was kind of broke. Not “kind of,” definitely broke. I had credit card debt, and I had student loan debt, so I really want to show that. I think you know with me doing the 2 Dope Queens podcast and all that stuff and you know writing on different shows whether it was Portlandia and Girl Code, it can look like, “Oh, wow. She’s booked and busy. She must have so much money.” Especially when I started the podcast, you don’t get paid a lot for doing podcasting.
So on one level, you can have this thing that’s successful but then, on the other hand, you are hiding your bills and being like, ”I’m going to charge this thing.” I would do the wear and return thing all the time like, “Oh, I have an event let me buy this $200 dress and let me return it.” That’s real life and lots of people are doing and I wanted to show that on the show.
When it comes to creating a show that portrays people in a real way, also people of color and Black people as being flawed, you don’t have to be perfect all the time to be endearing and relatable. Why did you want to make Phoebe this way?
PR: It goes back to the title, Everything’s Trash. Not only is there a war or recession, but it’s like we all kind of do trashy things. We are all kind of a little bit messy and flawed and figuring things out. I just think nuanced characters like that are always super interesting. You have TV Phoebe juxtaposed against Jayden, my older brother, and on the surface, he seems like he has everything together and I don’t but as we get deeper into the season you see she’s good at certain things, and he’s good at certain things. They both have flaws and weaknesses and they need each other in a way to lift each other up. I just think it’s really important to embrace that.
I think social media has kind of conditioned everyone to just present their best self and show like the Highlight Reel. Seeing the mess is always more interesting, seeing people figure stuff out and exploring their flaws has always been really intriguing to me as a storyteller and I really wanted that to be a part of the show. People can really identify with that whether you’re a teenager, in your twenties or thirties, I think that’s something people relate to.
I love that the character is in her 30s. Why was the 30s the age that you wanted to highlight?
PR: When Jess and I did 2 Dope Queens for HBO, I was 33, which is still really young but a lot of times in this industry if you’re not 19 and made it, then you’re garbage. So it’s like no, your career can happen in your 30s, in your 40s, and I really think it’s good to show that. That’s the reality of a lot of things. It would be cool to break out when you’re 21 but sometimes it’s just not in the cards for you and I don’t want people to feel like they’re doing something wrong if your life doesn’t look a certain way. So let’s just show the complexity of life and how people come into their own and it happens at different times, I think that’s really exciting.
The first two episodes of Everything’s Trash are premiering Wednesday, July 13 at 10 p.m. ET on Freeform. New episodes will follow weekly and will be available for streaming the next day on Hulu.

The Intel Core i9-7960X processor is among the most important releases of Intel for the most demanding users and today we can see some of its first results of the final version that will reach the stores.
Intel Core i9-7960X will hit stores for $1699
A few weeks ago we had been able to see some results from the Intel Core i9-7960X at Geekbench , but from a sample that was apparently engineering and did not offer the most optimal performance. During the day we can see the final performance and in all its splendor of the Core i9-7960X in this benchmarking tool.
Results of the Intel Core i9-7960X at Geekbench
In this test we can see the brand new Intel 16-core processor running at a speed of 2.8GHz and with the 22.5MB of L3 cache at full sail. The test was performed under the Windows 7 operating system and scored 5804 in single-core and 78323 points in the multi-core test. The improvement in the multi-core score is quite impressive considering that the previous test that had been done to this chip resulted in half of this score.
The bad thing is that we do not have direct comparisons with Threadripper here, but this result tells a different story to what we saw a few days ago, where Threadripper 1950X brings a 45% advantage to the i9 7900X in Cinebench R11.5.
Recall that the Intel Core i9 7960X will have an official value of $ 1699, while the AMD Threadripper 1950X sells for $ 999 (1100 euros in Spain). Although Intel will surely offer an incredible multitasker processor, AMD is making it possible to get 16-core processors to the mass market for a much lower price.


HTC has been trying to put itself back on top in the smartphone race with the flagship One phone which was introduced last year with the One X, One S & One XL so has been a success but bot like the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3. This year the company plans on changing that with just one phone called the HTC One.
This new packs a lot inside and out starting with a 4.7-inch Full HD LCD 1080p screen which pops out a 418ppi which makes it the best looking screen in the market. The phone will be running on Qualcomm’s new quad-core Snapdragon 600 running at 1.7GHz along with 2GB of RAM, 32 or 64GB* internal storage, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, and LTE connectivity where available by carrier. The One will be running Android ‘Jelly Bean’ (4.1.2) at release with HTC Blinkfeed or Sense 5 who are familiar to the skin which is scaled down a bit from Sense 4 and is more of a widget style that’s similar to Flipboard in a way. HTC has said that the phone will be updated to 4.2 but no details when.
Two features stand out from the HTC One and that’s the camera and sound.
The camera is called the ‘HTC Ultrapixel Camera’ which is weird because its actually only 4 megapixel but what it does is absorb three times more light to enlarged the captured photo and catch even low-light areas. It does have a front-facing camera having 2.1 megapixels and can run 1080p on both front and back camera. HTC also added HDR video and a new feature called Zoe which how HTC says that you just:
“Press the shutter and the HTC One automatically captures up to 20 photos and a 3-second video—a picture that’s alive. So your entire photo album becomes a living, breathing gallery”.
The company said the One series has “the best audio experience of any mobile phone” and they’re sticking with that quote. HTC BoomSound introduces dual frontal speakers with bulit-in amplifer including Beats Audio and a HDR Microphone.
The HTC One will be coming late March on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint in the US and O2, Vodafone, Three, and EE in the UK with an additional 185 around the world in black or white.
*= 64GB version is for AT&T only.

Few people would argue with the idea that the world has a serious problem with water. For the past several years, water has consistently been named as a leading risk in the World Economic Forum’s annual survey of global leaders, and newspapers worldwide are awash with stories warning of a water crisis. But a funny thing happens between the headlines: surprisingly little. Even in the case of Cape Town, which earlier this year proclaimed a water supply crisis that experts believed could literally cause taps to run dry, city officials blithely announced earlier this month that no emergency was imminent after all. So, is the world really facing a water crisis? The answer is yes—but not in the way most people think. The truth is, most of the world’s water woes can be solved with enough money and willpower. The real challenges are not technical or hydrological but political and ethical. The world’s water crisis, as it turns out, is really more of an existential one. But it’s one that poses plenty of real-world foreign policy challenges.
Broadly speaking, the world faces three separate water-related challenges that have each gotten much worse in recent decades. First, the world’s fresh water is very unevenly distributed, meaning that cities and farms often have to invest enormous resources in bringing it to where it’s needed. Because the world’s population is both growing and increasingly clustered in cities, it’s becoming more and more challenging to find enough water to grow more crops and at the same time fill more washbasins. This challenge is responsible for the overexploitation of many major rivers and ground-water aquifers worldwide.
Second, the hydrological cycle is fickle and often delivers either too much water, causing flooding, or too little, resulting in drought. While this pattern of flooding and drought is a perennial struggle for humanity, it has become more frequent and intense because of climate change, which is shifting both

Rice is bad for you. That's the latest from Consumer Reports. Many foods, like eggs, butter, coffee, etc. have been vilified and then exalted; alternately bad for your health, then good. The latest food victim is rice, a grain that one half of the world's population depend upon for their very survival.
Now enter Consumer Reports studies about high levels of arsenic rice, and a conclusion by Consumer reports that you should limit the amount of rice you should eat to two servings a week. Good luck with that in Asia. Are they all dying from arsenic poisoning?
This page presents an explanation of the arsenic in rice issue, links to the reference sources and a bottom line conclusion.
A known carcinogen, inorganic arsenic also has been associated with skin lesions, developmental effects, cardiovascular disease, neurotoxicity, and diabetes. Chronic arsenic exposure can initially cause gastrointestinal problems and skin discoloration or lesions. Signs of chronic low-level arsenic exposure can be mistaken for other ailments such as chronic fatigue syndrome.
Inorganic arsenic, the sum of arsenite (As+3) and arsenate (As+5), is generally considered more toxic than organic arsenic, and some organic species in food (such as arsenobetaine, commonly found in seafood) are considered nontoxic (
Arsenic is a naturally occurring substance and naturally finds its way into many foods, from apple juice and rice to meats like chicken, but usually in trace amounts. The FDA says rice is a leading dietary source of inorganic arsenic, both because of how commonly it's consumed and because as rice plants grow, the plant and grain tend to absorb arsenic more readily than other food crops. So, why or where is arsenic present in the soil where rice is grown?
Older pesticides (now banned) contained arsenic, which led to a build-up of arsenic in soils, which can still find its way into rice, especially since many forms of arsenic are water soluble and rice is often grown in wet rice paddies.. Arsenic was also used in a preservative for pressure-treating wood (that was banned in 2003) , which is commonly used for decks and playground equipment. Run-off from these operations can make its way into rice paddies. Consumer Reports has an interactive map of the known contamination of groundwater here.
Imported rice, from countries with no or lax standards or poor enforcement, like China (from which much apple juice is imported to the U.S.) also accounts for the presence of some arsenic in our food.
Consumer Reports reported in that rice, including organic rice baby cereal, rice breakfast cereals, Gluten-free foods made with rice, Rice milk, Rice-based baby formula, Brown rice syrup, Rice-based snack foods, brown rice, and white rice contain arsenic, many at levels that should concern consumers.
According to WebMD , "studies by Scottish researchers have found higher levels of arsenic in rice grown in the U.S. than in basmati or jasmine rice from Thailand or India. The highest levels of arsenic in U.S.-grown rice came from Southern states. The lowest levels were detected in rice grown in California. Seafood also has high levels of arsenic, though most experts believe the form of arsenic in seafood to be nontoxic. "
The FDA has specifically tested for the presence of inorganic arsenic, analyzing nearly 200 samples of rice and rice products and is collecting about 1,000 more. Since rice is also included in many other fod products, these samples included rice products such as cereals, rice beverages and rice cakes. The arsenic levels can vary greatly from sample to sample, even within the same product. FDA's testing of the initial samples found these average levels of inorganic arsenic in micrograms (one millionth of a gram):
The FDA concluded, based on data and scientific literature available now,
that consumers should not change their consumption of rice and rice products
at this time, but that people eat a balanced diet containing a wide variety
"We understand that consumers are concerned about this matter. FDA is committed to ensuring that we understand the extent to which substances such as arsenic are present in our foods, what risks they may pose, whether these risks can be minimized, and to sharing what we know," says FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. The FDA said that once it have completed its analysis of about 1,200 rice products, the agency will analyze these results and determine whether or not to issue additional recommendations.
How big is the risk is one issue that truly falls into the category of "no one knows". There simply aren't enough studies from enough credible organizations looking at enough parameters to make a conclusion. Stay tuned. There will be follow-up studies, and we will report them here.
Published studies, including research by the FDA, indicate that cooking rice in excess water (from six to 10 parts water to one part rice), and draining the excess water, can reduce 40 to 60 percent of the inorganic arsenic content, depending on the type of rice. The new FDA research also shows that rinsing rice before cooking has a minimal effect on the arsenic content of the cooked grain. Rinsing does, however, wash off iron, folate, thiamin and niacin from polished and parboiled rice. The tables below provide additional information on the study's findings..

Target festival returnees for Covid tests, BMC tells field staff
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) fears that the number of Covid cases may increase with the inflow of festival returnees and this targeted testing strategy aims at combatting the spread
As Covid-19 cases continue to soar in some regions of Maharashtra, the civic body has sent out special instructions to target people returning to the city after travelling for the Ganesh festival. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) fears that the number of infections may increase with the inflow of people and this testing strategy aims at combatting the spread.
The state’s weekly positivity rate as of September 14 stood at 2.6%. Mumbai had a much lower positivity rate at 1.3%. However, some districts like Pune (5.8%), Ahmednagar (5.5%), Sangli (3.8%), Nashik (3.7%), Satara (3.5%), Osmanabad (3.2%), Palghar (3.1%) and Sindhudurg (3%) have higher positivity rate compared to the states average.
“Many people travel to their villages or hometown for the Ganesh festival and any such travel can lead to a spurt in the city’s Covid-19 infections,” said additional municipal commissioner Suresh Kakani. “We have therefore asked our field staff to target people with travel history for testing in order the catch the infections early,” he said.
Kakani said that the civic body is also setting up testing camps in localities. Healthcare workers are going door-to-door asking people who have returned after travelling to come and get tested. Emphasis is put on those who have the slightest of symptoms or those who have come in contact when someone who has tested positive.
The daily caseload in Mumbai has been under 500 for the past two months, crossing the 500-mark in a few days. The state’s daily caseload has been fluctuating between 3,000 to 4,000 over the past fortnight. Health officials have predicted the possibility of a surge with the lockdown restrictions eased and excessive travel between districts.
“Screening at the points of entry into the city and targetted testing of people with travel history is a good idea,” said Soumitra Ghosh, associate professor at the Centre for Health Policy, planning and management, Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
“Another important intervention should be to target areas that are reporting more cases,” he said.
Most recently, the civic body tweaked its testing policy and asked all the wards to test symptomatic individuals and high-risk contacts within the first or second day itself, instead of waiting for the fifth or sixth day as mandated earlier. The civic body has now asked the wards to do a follow-up test on the fifth or sixth day in case the first one is negative.
“Our circular issued about 10-day sago stated that individuals should be tested immediately, and one must not wait till the symptoms are more pronounced or for the symptoms to arise in case of high-risk contacts,” said Kakani.

Wealth Manager Pleads Guilty in Scheme to Fund Hillary Clinton Campaign Through Elton John Concert
WASHINGTON — The operator of a wealth management firm pleaded guilty Monday in Washington federal court to causing the Hillary Clinton for President Committee to unwittingly submit false statements to the Federal Election Commission involving campaign contributions totaling $48,300. The scheme involved an Elton John concert.
Evan Snapper, 46, of Fairfield, Conn., pleaded guilty in a scheme in which 21 individuals bought Elton John tickets for $2,300 each, knowing they would all be reimbursed by one person, and the money would go to the Clinton campaign, the Justice Department said.
According to authorities, Snapper admitted that in March 2008, he informed a certain individual that Elton John was to perform in New York City on April 9, 2008, with ticket proceeds going to the Clinton committee.
Knowing the individual was a Clinton supporter, Snapper suggested he get people to buy tickets.
Authorities said Snapper admitted that he and 20 people agreed to purchase a ticket to the concert, knowing the individual would reimburse them in violation of campaign finance laws.
Snapper then worked to disguise the reimbursements. False statements were subsequently made to the Federal Elections Commission, authorities said. Snapper also pleaded guilty to campaign violations involving Jim Gilmore campaigns for Senate and President.
Sentencing is set for April 7.

Ensure Your Safety with this Fire Door Checklist According to Australian Building Regulations04 November 2021
A fire door is a door with a fire-resistance rating (sometimes referred to as a fire protection rating for closures) used as part of a passive fire protection system to reduce the spread of fire or smoke between compartments and to enable safe evacuation from a building. Exit Doors are a critical part of the fire and safety infrastructure of a building. By law, there are very specific locking requirements required for Exit Doors. Locks used on Exit Doors – which also include Fire Doors and Path of Travel Doors – are governed by Building Codes of Australia (BCA) Ordinance.
Exit safety is paramount and includes emergency evacuations such as fires, toxic gas leaks, chemical spills, personal safety, and even bomb threats. The code specifically states that personal safety takes precedence over security. Local Council Building and Fire Inspectors, and the Fire Brigade, are the authorities that most commonly police compliance with this regulation. The regulation is complex with numerous grey areas, with the ultimate interpretation falling with the inspecting authority.
There are three categories of exit doors.
Fire Door: A Fire Door is a door that enters a fireproof stairway or tunnel. The door itself is made from a special fire-resistant material and has a fire rating compliance tag fitted to the hinge edge of the door. A steel fire resistant door frame is also used.
Exit Door: An Exit Door is a door that allows an emergency exit from a building. Depending on its location, it need not necessarily be fire-rated, or steel framed.
Door Path: A path of travel door is a door in the egress pathway leading to or between a Fire Door or Exit Door. They are often dual-purpose and also used as smoke doors.
The exit opening action of a lock must be a single-handed downward lever action. A pushing action is also allowed and is preferred. Internal knobs or turn snibs is not permitted. This provision takes into account the need for an emergency opening mechanism to be operable by people with hand or arm related disabilities, burns to their hands, with perspiring or wet hands, or the aged or infirm.
The opening mechanism should be capable of being operated by a nudging action whilst dragging an injured or unconscious person to safety. Key locking is not permissible on the exit side (inside) of the door. Only one lock per door is permissible.
In the case of Fire Doors, the lock must be self-latching and be fire rated following AS1905.1. A fire-rated automatic door closer must also be fitted. Only fire rated hardware may be fitted to fire-rated doors. Fire Doors must only be fitted with door hardware fire-rated following AS1905.1
Fire Door locks must be self-latching and are not permitted to have a hold-open feature. It is a legal offence to prop open or otherwise interfere with the automatic closing action of a Fire Door. Fire Doors must be fitted with a fire-rated automatic (non-hold open) door closer. An automatic closing door is essential in controlling smoke, heat, and backdrafts, which could potentially feed the fire.

World tourism leaders have been urged to execute crucial measures to save the travel and tourism sector, ahead of a special meeting of the G20 hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The call was made by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), which represents the global Travel & Tourism private sector, to prevent a catastrophic collapse following the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, putting up to 75 million jobs at immediate risk.
WTTC implored the G20 leaders to assign resources and coordinate efforts to rescue major travel businesses such as airlines, cruises, hotels, GDS and technology companies, as well as the SME’s, such as travel agents, tour operators, restaurants, independent workers and the entire supply chain, in order to save the jobs of the 330 million people who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC President & CEO, said: “The coronavirus pandemic has put the sector in unprecedented danger of collapse, which is looking increasingly likely unless a global rescue package is agreed to bolster what has become the backbone of the global economy.”
She explained that WTTC’s Economic Impact Report for 2020 reveals that the travel and tourism sector was responsible for generating one in four of all new jobs globally in 2019 and will have a crucial part to play in powering the global recovery. “It is therefore of paramount importance that the G20 take urgent action now to preserve the 75 million jobs at immediate risk, which would represent a crushing Travel & Tourism GDP loss to the world economy of up to USD 2.1 trillion in 2020 alone.”Add to Favorites

Anchored by Jake Tapper, The Lead airs at 4 p.m. ET on CNN.
We've moved! Come join us at our new show page.
The Guardian newspaper revealed the identity of the National Security Agency leaker behind recent revelations of NSA surveillance.
Edward Snowden is a 29-year-old intelligence contractor, who revealed the extent to which the government is monitoring and keeping records of not just telephone calls, but also e-mails, internet searches, downloads and photos.
Snowden has been in Hong Kong staying in a hotel room since late May, according to The Guardian. There are reports that since his identity was revealed on Saturday, he has checked out of his Hong Kong hotel.
The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald tells CNN's Jake Tapper that he knows where Snowden is, but will not disclose the specific location of his source.
Watch CNN's "The Lead" at 4 p.m. ET for our full interview with Glenn Greenwald.
As news of Snowden's involvement became known, supporters have expressed concern that he does not have enough money, and that his hotel bills are piling up.
Greenwald said The Guardian newspaper is not helping Snowden pay for his room or meals, and said Snowden is using personal savings to pay for his hotel and living expenses.
"Since he came out ... 24 hours ago, there's been this amazing outpouring around the world of people who are expressing all kinds of gratitude and admiration for what he did to inform the world about the U.S. surveillance state, who have offered all kinds of funds. And I know there are people who are starting legal defense funds and other forms of funds to help him," said Greenwald.
"So I think on Edward Snowden's long list of worries, money is probably very low on the list, if it's on the list at all," said Greenwald.

Have you ever gone to Panera and thought, “Hmm… Not sure if I’m in a chicken noodle or a broccoli cheddar mood?” Well, now you don’t have to choose!
But bear in mind that this is just a test. They’re going to do a trial run at the chain’s Philly locations, and depending on how that pans out, they may release it in other cities.
So far, the Panera double bowls have been met by rave reviews. Fans everywhere quickly took to social media to express their hopes that the bread bowls will soon launch in a location near them.
Panera’s marketing strategy is to display the double bread bowl as the perfect date food for two…
But let’s be real.
We’d happily eat the entire thing to ourselves!
The double bread bowls aren’t just perfect for people who want to taste-test two different soups at the same time. They’re also ideal for those of you who want one scoop soup, one scoop mac & cheese.
Which brings us to the next point of magical Panera news.
Expect Extra Cheesy Goodness From Panera, Too.
It’s not just the double bread bowls that have those of us who have given up on counting calories forever singing songs of joy.
Panera has also announced the addition of four new cheese-centric food items.
First, expect a four-cheese grilled cheese sandwich, layered with Monteau, sharp cheddar, Fontina, and smoked Gouda. Next is the modern Caprese sandwich, which pairs mozzarella and parmesan on thick black pepper focaccia.
And for the mac-and-cheese lovers among you, there’s a Baja Mac & Cheese solution that combines white cheddar mac with slices of avocado, and a self-explanatory Bacon Mac & Cheese.
How do you feel about the double bread bowls? Share your opinion in the poll below.

Paralegal: Parker Theuninck
Not only are all our advocates trauma-informed, but every single one is deeply passionate for our mission to empower survivors and protect kids. We hope this mini-interview gives a small window into some of the talented, empathetic and driven advocates that work at our firm.
What is your favorite thing about working at Jeff Anderson & Associates?
Parker: From an early age, I kind of knew that I had to do something with meaning. That means different things for different people, and it comes in different forms. For me, it was always a sense of justice…you know, the idea of helping people who can’t help themselves or righting wrongs. Jeff gave me the idea of reading a book when I first started here after we had a conversation about purpose. Viktor Frankl is a psychologist and a Holocaust survivor and he wrote a book called Man’s Search for Meaning. Frankl says “the meaning of life is to give life meaning.” For me, being here, it gives my professional life meaning.
Why did you apply to Jeff anderson & Associates?
Parker: It goes back to the first question – I needed to do something that had meaning. I remember my interview. It was in this room. Mike said, “Why are you looking for a job?” and I told him “I’m not…I wasn’t.” But, a year and a half before applying here, I’d watched the documentary Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God. It caught my eye because my mom worked with deaf and hard of hearing kids in the schools. The documentary was about a school for the deaf in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where there was a perpetrator abusing kids. I watched the whole thing and I noticed that the firm [Jeff Anderson & Associates] represented people that were highlighted in the film. And I realized that the firm was in my backyard, in Minnesota. I told myself that if they ever have an opening, I would apply. So, about a year goes by, and I had been working in defense firms for five years. I was getting ready to switch fields or move – I needed a change. Then I got an email saying there was an opening and I told myself I was going to apply. So I did and I started at the firm a couple weeks after that.
What is your favorite thing about working with survivors ?
Parker: I think it is the transformation. In the initial call with a survivor, you can pick up on the apprehension, the fear, the tension that they have when considering telling someone about what happened to them. And in most instances, they are contemplating saying something for the first time and you’re one of the first people they’ve told. That first call is obviously very vulnerable for them and is extremely difficult. It’s a delicate exchange.
The transformation happens when all the sudden you feel the tension leave. They’re done telling their story and sometimes there’s an audible sigh. There’s just a sense of gratitude, like “Thank you for taking this weight off of me.” You can just feel the relief and you can hear a change in their tone of voice. That’s probably my favorite thing about working with survivors.
Was there a moment where you felt particularly proud to work at Jeff Anderson & Associates?
Parker: There is not one. I can’t say there is one moment. But there are so many moments where you feel an expression of gratitude. Because if you zoom out and look at what it took that person to get to the first phone call or making it to the end of a lawsuit; a lifetime of fear and shame and an inability to trust anyone with their story. An expression of gratitude ends up being the ultimate compliment and proud moment.
How have your grown as a person since working at Jeff Anderson & Assocates?
Parker: On almost a weekly basis you hear someone’s story of trauma. So it’s always at the forefront of your mind that everybody has a story – a collection of experiences that led them to the moment you interact with them. It can be easy, for example when you’re cut off in traffic or someone’s rude to you, to react and make a snap judgement about that person. But I try to take a moment and think about whatever is happening right now is not about me – it’s about their story. Whether it is something that happened to them five minutes, five weeks, or fifty years ago. That person’s story brought them to that moment.
What is your favorite food?
Parker: I like anything off the grill. There’s nothing I’d say “No, I won’t eat that.” I love Italian, sushi, chips. I have a hard time putting down a bag of chips.
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
Parker: Anything being outdoors and DIY projects. I recently got back into fishing the past few years and I like to golf. I also like a good heart-pumping, scenic hike.
What is your favorite place you have traveled to and why?
Parker: To Belgium. Several years ago, my younger brother and I took my dad to Belgium. He’s 100% Belgian. Both his parents came here from Belgium. We met like 30 or 40 people with my same unique last name, a bunch of relatives. One of the relatives has maintained a family tree that we were able to trace our name back to 1640. We spent a few nights in Brussels and spent the rest of the time in Bruges. Bruges is incredible.
What is something you do to help alleviate stress or anxiety?
Parker: It has taken me a long time to figure out what works for me and it’s always a work in progress. It starts with first acknowledging that you’re in that state of stress. It’s easy to get stuck in paralysis by analysis and just sit, unproductive, and worry about the stress without dealing with it. Once you start acknowledging that you’re in that space, I try to have a change in environment – go outside, go for a walk, have an intense workout – something to get your mind out of that stuck space. I then dedicate time to take inventory of everything causing that stress and ask myself “What can I do right now to alleviate some of it?” and acknowledging that I can’t make all of it go away at once. It comes down to what can I do in the next hour, what can I do today and what can I plan to do this week, to help alleviate the stress. And I slowly chip away at it. There’s not a magic trick that’s going to make it go all away immediately.

Why Bernadette Nutall Does Not Support Extending Dallas ISD Trustees' Terms
I thought about it long and hard and prayed about it to see what's best. I understand extension of terms, however I signed up for three years, and I would have liked for us to take it to the voters for a special election and let them decide.The board is discussing this right now. Jack Lowe just said he's not for extending terms. Then, he said he supports extending terms. Then, he left. Watch here.
What if Barack Obama wanted to extend his term? What would happen? We'd be outraged. If George W. Bush wanted to extend his term, we'd be outraged.
I work for the public and the people, and they need to determine if they want to see me longer. They might not want me for four years. They might not want me till 2012. But they've got me now.

Why Canadian-born Ted Cruz is a natural-born citizen
To the editor: I have never quite understood why the citizenship issue for president has been so controversial. (“Question Ted Cruz should ask: Can a foreign-born American be president?,” op-ed, Feb. 24)
There are only two “types” of U.S. citizens: native born and naturalized. Any and all native-born citizens over the age of 35 are eligible to be president. Someone born outside the U.S. to a parent who is a citizen (with some qualifications) is a native-born citizen; such a person has never in our history been required to become a naturalized citizen, but has always been recognized as a citizen at birth.
It’s good that this issue might finally be made clear with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), someone the “birthers” would like and support. (By the way, I think he is clearly eligible.)
David Lynn, Agoura Hills
To the editor: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one non-citizen parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, provided the American parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth.
For birth between Dec. 24, 1952, and Nov. 13, 1986, a period of 10 years — five after the age of 14 — is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.
Since Cruz entered the United States in possession of a United States passport, I presume his mother met the physical presence requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Although you might not go so far as hauling away someone else’s AC, it’s safe to say that life can be pretty painful without one. Once you have an air conditioner, though, you wouldn’t be the first homeowner to experience the need for air conditioning repair. Are you dealing with air conditioning problems, and wondering what to do? Here are a few things you should keep in mind.
How Long Should an Air Conditioner Last?
The average air conditioner will last for 10-15 years before needing an AC unit replacement. If your air conditioner is younger than 15 years old, repairs, rather than replacement, is probably the safest bet, as you can still get many years of use out of the unit. Once your air conditioner is 15-20 years old, or even older, though, you’ll probably be better off getting a new model installed — not only will it be less likely to break down, but it will probably be more energy efficient.
The Benefits of a Maintenance Agreement for Your Air Conditioning Unit
- When you get an AC installed, you often have the choice of signing up for a maintenance agreement. This can be a good way to keep your AC in working order, rather than only dealing with repairs as the need arises.
- One thing that you, or your HVAC maintenance tech, should do is clean the AC filters. Dirty filters can reduce system efficiency by blocking airflow. A clean filter can reduce energy consumption by up to 15%.
- AC coil replacement is a difficult process, and not one you can easily do by yourself since there is soldering involved, as well as licensing and laws regarding the refrigeration. The evaporator coil is an essential part of your AC its breakage can cause the entire unit to stop working correctly.
- Like many things, an air conditioning system will work best, longest, and most efficiently if it’s given routine maintenance. Despite best efforts, many people eventually forget to do this themselves or don’t know how to, which is why it’s a good thing to look for an AC unit installation contract that will cover both routine cleaning and small air conditioning repairs.
Do you need home air conditioning repair help? You can email us or give us a call at (727) 447-1903

The founders of Philadelphia's nationally acclaimed Vedge will soon take another one of their local concepts down Interstate 95 to Washington,D.C., adding another top-flight vegan destination to the nation's capital.
Husband and wife duo Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby told The Washington Post they will open up a second V Street, the Rittenhouse street food magnet for veggie lovers, in what will be their first venture outside Philadelphia.
“We know the demand for serious vegan food is getting stronger all the time,” Jacoby told the Post.
With a menu inspired by cuisines from around the world, V Street is known for its noodles, fries and tacos. The brunch menu also features a seitan shawarma sandwich, grilled avocado and a hangover soup with spicy mushroom broth.
The James Beard Award-nominated couple said they plan to export the Philadelphia design to D.C., bringing V-Street to the Apollo Development at 600 H Street NE, where there is already a new Whole Foods Market and several establishments owned by decorated chefs.
V-Street will join a D.C. market with some of the best vegan restaurants on the east coast, including the mission-driven NuVegan Cafe (visited by the likes of Jay Z and Beyonce), Elizabeth's Gone Raw and Sticky Fingers.
News of the second location comes as Philly's own vegan scene welcomed Goldie, the falafel concept launched by Zahav-owner Michael Solomonov, and South Philly stable Blackbird Pizzeria announced plans for a second shop in Northern Liberties. Elsewhere in the area, Malvern's Greyhound Cafe, an Italian and Mexican style eatery, opened last month, while Hatboro's Luhv Bistro has won steady praise for its energy soup and veggie burgers since launching last October.

The Health for Life program at the Center for Cardiac Fitness and the Risk Reduction Program at Newport Hospital draw upon a proven approach that maximizes success through the integration of three critical components: exercise, education, and behavior modification under medical supervision. Both programs teach healthy living practices to those who are at increased risk of heart disease but have not experienced a cardiac episode.
Who Will Benefit from Ongoing Training?
- Have an implanted cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker
- Are experiencing symptoms of lower extremity vascular disease, such as pain in the calves or thighs after walking short distances
- Are at increased cardiac risk due to diabetes, hypertension, elevated lipids, cigarette smoking, and/or obesity
How Does It Help?
Benefits of a medically supervised exercise program include:
- Improved psychosocial wellness
- Reduced cigarette smoking
- Diminished stress
- Improved blood lipid levels
- A 20-percent decline in mortality rates due to heart disease
How Does It Work?
We’ll assess your overall well-being and your goals for maintaining or improving your cardiac and pulmonary health, then prescribe a personalized program to help you achieve them. Exercise physiologists, nurses and physical therapists all provide safe, expert instruction, and the exercise prescription is adjusted as your needs change. We monitor your progress and report results to your physician.
Programs typically include more rigorous, less structured exercise than cardiac rehabilitation programs.
Some facets of our cardiopulmonary maintenance and prevention programs are:
- Weight training and Thera-Band workshops
- Healthy cooking demonstrations
- Supermarket visits to learn more about good eating habits
- Food festivals
- Family nights
- Risk-reduction programs
- Nutritional, behavioral and medication consultations
Support groups, relaxation therapy services, and classes in yoga, tai chi and meditation strengthen the mind-body-spirit connection and help reduce the everyday stress that often undermines positive lifestyle changes.
Who Is Eligible?
Health for Life is a self-pay program for individuals with cardiac and pulmonary diagnoses. Health insurance plans do not cover these services. Program costs are structured as monthly membership dues and are based on the number of visits each week. Please speak to staff about any financial concerns.

- Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Rehabilitation Program

text: My husband and I live in Southern California with our two boys. I am an elementary school teacher who loves to get away on the weekends and enjoy San Diego's beautiful beaches. My husband and boys love to surf and play on the sand. We love the beach and love the weather San Diego offers. I have been going to North Coast Village for 30 years and staying at my parents condo. They recently retired and moved into their condo at North Coast, so it was time to buy our own vacation home. We enjoy the beautiful grounds of North Coast Village. My boys enjoy the putting green, pool, spa, and game room. We enjoy walking to the harbor for dinner, taking long bike rides (we rent our bikes out too) on the many trails offered and spending our day on the beautiful beach.
