TOKYO -- Tokyo's daily confirmed COVID-19 cases hit a record high for the second day in a row on Friday, with 463 new infections, as the numbers also surged in the rest of the country as well as in Vietnam and Hong Kong.
Tokyo's daily confirmed cases jumped from 367 on Thursday, which itself marked a record high. Nationwide, 1572 new cases of COVID-19 were reported as of 10 p.m., a fresh daily record for Japan.
"We will have to consider a state of emergency for Tokyo alone if the situation continues to worsen," Gov. Yuriko Koike told reporters on Friday.
Tokyo this week announced the shortening of business hours for restaurants and karaoke parlors. The municipal government has raised the alarm as infection sources expanded beyond nightspots and young age groups. Meanwhile, the number of patients with severe symptoms decreased on Friday to 16, from the previous day's 22.
The infection numbers are rising nationally, after Japan's total daily cases exceeded 1,000 for the first time this week. Fears are rising in the country about a new wave of the virus, as they are in the rest of Asia, including places like Vietnam and Hong Kong, that had previously been considered relatively safe.
In Japan, Osaka Prefecture confirmed 216 new cases on Friday, marking the second highest record after Wednesday's 221. Okinawa Prefecture, where infections spread from the U.S. military base on the island, announced that it would ask some businesses to temporarily close in August.
"We are nervously watching the current infection trends," said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday. He told reporters that testing would be important to identify patients and ensure early treatment. He added that the government would work on the development and procurement of medicines and vaccines. "We will work with the local governments to take necessary measures," he said.
Some experts suggested that the nature of infections may be different this time from previous waves. Tatsuhiko Kodama, emeritus professor at Tokyo University, told a House of Councilors committee earlier this month that the DNA genomes of the strains of the virus that are spreading in Japan show that they originated in Tokyo, rather than in Wuhan, China, or Italy, which were earlier hotspots for the disease.
"[Foreign strains of the virus] spread under conditions that are not ideal to them," he said. But Tokyo or Saitama strains would "autonomously spread," potentially making Japan "the next Milan or New York," he warned.
In other locations that had appeared relatively safe, the situation is changing quickly. In Vietnam, the head of the country's infectious disease agency told media that the new strain of the coronavirus found in Danang, a tourism hub in central Vietnam, is more contagious than older strains.
The country reported 82 new infections including 26 imported cases on Friday, marking its biggest daily increase. The total number has increased to 546 cases as of July 31 evening. Vietnam also reported its first death from the novel coronavirus. More deaths are inevitable as the disease has spread in hospitals and many COVID-19 patients have other health problems.
The Ho Chi Minh city authorities have requested the public to wear masks and have ordered the temporary closure of "non-essential service businesses" such as bars and discos.
Hong Kong confirmed 121 new cases on Friday, marking the tenth consecutive triple-digit daily increase, according to news agency Xinhua. The city also announced on the same day that it would postpone its legislative election.
"Members of the public are strongly urged to avoid all non-essential travel outside Hong Kong," a spokesperson for Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection said in a statement this week.

Can you believe the holiday season is already upon us. Thanksgiving is coming up and this year I’m looking for ways to save time in the kitchen. Thrive foods will be featured in a big way this year at our dinner table. I’m starting to enter the phase of life where I host Thanksgiving here and there. I can’t just go to mom’s house anymore and get away with bringing a pie from Costco. For those of you out there who need things to be a little easier, or you aren’t quite sure how to pull off some traditional Thanksgiving foods, make sure you watch some of the videos below. Who doesn’t love attending a cooking class in their pj’s on their computer!
One of my favorite Thrive items is their Country White Dough Mix. 3 and 3/4 cups of this mix with a package of yeast and water and I have fresh rolls, pizza crust and breads. It’s so easy in fact, today I opted to make these rolls for a dinner I was bringing to a friend because it was easier than getting a loaf of french bread at the grocery store.
The Thrive Mashed Potatoes are just that – JUST POTATOES. Usually mashed potato mixes come with so many additives I just can’t do it. I don’t love peeling, boiling, and mashing potatoes. These save so much time in the kitchen. Since I’ll be saving so much time I’m tempted to try this loaded mashed potato recipe… did someone say bacon!?
My favorite stuffing is my mom’s stuffing. Bread, carrots, onions, celery, and spices. It’s classic. Thrive’s freeze-dried veggies in this recipe are perfect. I’ll have to cut up bread pieces but that’s all the chopping I’ll be doing here. If you’re into more exciting, gourmet stuffing, you really should check out Chef Todd’s cornbread stuffing. I have never tried something from Chef Todd I haven’t liked. Check out how to make the Cornbread stuffing here:
Buying fresh herbs and spices always make foods better but then you have a whole lot of them left over. I love the freeze-dried spices from Thrive because they are fresher than dehydrated and I only use what I need. Makes me want to try out this Turkey Brine featured in this month’s Thrive it up cooking class. You must watch this:
NOVEMBER FEAST PACK:
This month’s specials feature a November Feast Pack with pantry cans of Whole Wheat Bread Mix, Sugar Cookie Mix, Cauliflower, Celery, Fuji Apple Slices, Sausage Crumbles, Turkey Dices, Scrambled Egg Mix, Hot Cocoa, and Chef’s Choice Seasoning.
Regular Price: $158.40

Ignorant of the world outside? New Yorkers are among the most enlightened, study says
It is a well-known proverbial opinion from the rest of the world that Americans don’t really have an interest of what happens outside of the Land of Opportunity. While it is true that only 37% of Americans hold a valid passport, it’s a knee-jerk and unfair assumption that we are culturally ignorant. Indeed, Americans are the second most travelled people in the world (only behind the Finns). Moreover, America is widely regarded as the most culturally diverse nation in the world, therefore, we don’t have to travel too far away from home to experience different ways of life.
But when it comes to following what’s happening in the news, there certainly may be a case for saying America is more focused on local news, as compared to what’s happening internationally. Sure, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is dominating news cycles, but a lot of this could be down to the effect (such as increased gas prices) the war is having on us domestically, rather than say the broader implications of another cold war.
A study carried out by PRFire.com, a leading press release distribution service, has revealed where people are most and least informed when it comes to international news. Five thousand respondents were each surveyed on 5 multiple choice questions about international affairs, which revealed some interesting results…
These questions asked were:
- In which part of Europe is Ukraine located? (Eastern)
- Which is the international organization, of which the United States is a part of, which guarantees the freedom and security of its members through political and military means? (NATO)
- What does the WHO stand for? (World Health Organization)
- Which country recently hosted the winter Olympics? (China)
- Who is the UK Prime Minister? (Boris Johnson)
The most informed in America turned out to be Mainers, who achieved the highest score of 73%. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given how international the city is (the United Nations is headquartered there afterall), New Yorkers came in 4th position overall with a pass mark of 66% – above the national average of 37%.
And lowest, with a score of just 8%, were Mississippians.
Infographic showing international awareness results by state
When asked what type of news they are more likely to read up on, 64% said news about their local community, town, or city; 21% about broader news happening in their state; and 15% on international news. This indicates that majority are naturally more inclined towards reading up on news focused on their local surroundings.
Lastly, a significant 83% majority admitted that international events events rarely make it into their day-to-day conversation among friends, family, or work colleagues.

Stock futures fell Tuesday morning, with the S&P 500 poised to snap a five-day winning streak as investors considered prospects of a drawn-out economic recovery alongside an ongoing rise in virus cases.
The declines in futures on the three major US indices tracked drops in European equities, after the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development issued a dismal economic forecast given risks of a second wave of Covid-19. The unemployment rate among the OECD’s 37 member countries edged down from a 10-year high of 8.5% in April to 8.4% in May.
German industrial production data also came in weaker than expected Tuesday, with the country’s output rising 7.8% in May after a 17.5% drop in April, but missing consensus expectations for 11.1%.
US stocks during the regular session Monday powered higher, with the Nasdaq Composite rising to a record high. Big tech stocks led advances, and Amazon (AMZN) rocketed above $3,000 per share for the first time ever and held onto these gains during the pre-market session. Other tech names including Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia and Adobe also rose to record levels.
Domestic economic data Monday morning showed a much stronger than expected rebound in US service sector activity in June, underscoring a recovery in the industries hardest hit by the pandemic. Airlines and cruise stocks rose during the regular session, but pared some gains as overnight trading kicked off.
Still, an eruption of cases in the South and West continued over the holiday weekend and into this week, leaving the risk that ensuing business re-closures would jeopardize the pace of the recovery. The mayor of Miami-Dade in Florida said he intends to close restaurants and gyms again on Wednesday. Cases throughout Florida rose 3.2% on a one-day basis as of Monday, coming in below the state’s seven-day average increase of 5.1%, but holding at a high level relative to other regions.
Arizona, another new hot spot, reported a 3.4% one-day increase in cases, which was also below its seven-day average.
9:09 a.m. ET: Novavax shares spike more than 30% after announcing $1.6 billion in federal funding for Covid-19 vaccine development
Biotech company Novavax (NVAX) shares jumped more than 30% in early trading Tuesday after announcing it received $1.6 billion in funding from the US Operation Warp Speed to develop and manufacturing a Covid-19 vaccine.
The funding amount is the largest granted so far through Operation Warp Speed, a federal program aimed at fast-tracking the development of a coronavirus vaccine to months rather than years. Other earlier recipients of the funds were companies including AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson
With the funds, Novavax is set to begin a late-stage clinical study of its vaccine candidate as soon as this fall, with up to 30,000 subjects. Its phase 1/2 (one-two) trials began in May in Australia, and Novavax expects to have results from this at the end of July. The company is looking to begin delivering 100 million doses for Americans as soon as late 2020.
Shares of Novavax were up nearly 1,900% for the year to date through Monday’s close.

St. Paul’s Cathedral holds its significance through hundreds and hundreds years of history. But rather than talking about its history or the typical tourist information (which you can find here and here), we want to investigate this famously recognizable sight of London from a fresh angle: Through looking at St. Paul’s skyline presence from London streets!
What do we mean by that? Well, from the city design perspective, we know that St. Paul’s Cathedral is one of many focal points designed throughout London. It hosted religious gatherings which served great historical importance. Therefore, it must hold some indicative characteristics to distinct itself from its surrounding environment. So, we walked the alleyways, passages, and streets surrounding St. Paul’s Cathedral in search for these indicative characteristics.
Let’s go ahead and look at what we found!
Did you figure out the theme in the above set of photos?
Yup, it’s the linear visual vista leading towards St. Paul’s iconic and brightly lit dome. From pedestrian alleys to commercial passages to busy streets, we can all observed this visual relation from its surrounding area. This distinctive character emphasized on St. Paul’s accessibility and symbolic nature, which serve as good focal point indicators.
We hope you enjoy our belated walk as much as we do! Better yet, why not walk around a famous landmark yourself and find its importance from its surrounding clues like we did in our walk! It would be a great fun to explore our environment in a refreshing way.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – As a coach's son, tight end Greg Olsen has always had a very measured approach to training camp and the entire process that takes place before, during and after a season.
"(Camp) kicks off the season," said Olsen, who is entering his ninth training camp. "The offseason stuff back at the stadium, not that it's not serious, not that it's not important, there's just something different. When you get back to camp, it's kind of like the signal to put your head down and get to work. The season will be here before we know it. This is the final stage before the real show starts.
"We have a long ways to go, but we are in a position to have success," Olsen added. "Every year you start from scratch. You've got to stay healthy, you got to have young guys step up, new faces come in and establish their roles."
Olsen doesn't allow himself to look too far ahead. Other players are different. Defensive end Mario Addison, for instance, offered a bold prediction when he was asked what the limit is for the 2015 Panthers.
"There aren't any limits," Addison said. "We are going all the way. We have all the tools – all we have to do is put it together. I see a Super Bowl. This is one of the best teams I've played on."
When told of Addison's remarks, Olsen took a different approach. But the two players' goals are one in the same.
"I'm not a big bold predictor or a quote machine – that's not really my thing. We have a long ways to go," Olsen said. "For us to sit here today and say as we are just moving our bags in we are going to make it … would I be surprised if we did? No. But do we have a ton of work that needs to go in and have things fall into place before we put ourselves in position to accomplish those things? Yes. That's what we start this afternoon."

The courtroom is an important front in the war against ISIS, Amal Clooney told 3,000 audience members during her Bryan Series talk Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum.
International courts can help deliver justice for the thousands of Yazidi women, women like 23-year-old Nadia, who were kidnapped by ISIS and forced to be sex slaves, the British human rights attorney said.
Before her lecture, Amal took part in a Q&A session with students. Read a story about that session: “Bryan Series Inspires.”
Amal made the case for a legal response in three parts.
“First, trials are important to the victims,” she said. “A lack of accountability prevents healing for individual survivors and often impedes reconciliation between communities.”
Amal has interviewed Yazidi girls and women. These of ISIS crimes want and deserve the opportunity to face their abusers in court, she said.
Second, justice is an important deterrent to future terrorism, she said. Trials can expose the myths and lies that feed terrorism.
“The fallacy and brutality behind ISIS must be publicly and forensically exposed – and trials are a very good way of doing that,” she said. “If potential recruits could see ISIS fighters being marched into court to face criminal charges, wouldn’t their war seem less holy?”
Third, our pursuit of justice requires the rule of law, she said.
She cited the example of the Nuremburg trials, the tribunals held in Germany after World War II. Some leaders of Allied forces wanted to hold mass executions, but the United States advocated trials, she said.
Amal quoted U.S Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, the chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremburg: “The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated.”
Fifty years after the Nuremburg trials, the United Nations created international courts to hear cases involving brutality in Yugoslavia and Rwanda. However, ISIS and others accused of international crimes have not yet been put on trial.
That’s Amal’s quest. Nadia, who escaped her ISIS “owner” and now lives as a refugee in Germany, fears that after ISIS is defeated, some of its members will go unpunished and simply resume their previous lives, Amal said.
“It’s my job to do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

I have applied for LIC HFL home loan. On advise of my colleague, I checked my CIBIL score and it is 755. As per my colleague it is a weak score and may result in rejection.
Please advise, how much is a good CIBIL score for home loan and what other things I should check in Credit History?
2021 © Jagoinvestor.com All Right Reserved
2 replies on this article “How much CIBIL score is needed for LIC HFL home Loan?”
As an industry practice, credit scores above 750 are considered to be good. Anyways, the approval of your home loan application would be at the discretion of LIC HFL based on their credit policies and hence would be difficult to comment on.
The general point to look for in your credit report are:
1) Late payments
2) High outstanding balances
3) High no. of unsecured loans
4) High no. of enquiries
Dear Upandey, what is your detailed credit report from CIBIL? Do you have any negative entry like DPD, Settlement of loan, Written off?


In my business I have internet that is provided by the local county phone company. I don't know the "technical" name for the type of system, but there is antenna on the roof that points to a tower. The tower sends the internet signal to the antenna. A cable runs from the antenna to an "injector" (power supply with 2 ports.) One port has the cable from the antenna in it, and the other runs to a router. The router has 2 cables from it...one to my main desktop, and the other to a work station. The router is also wireless, so it also gave me a wi-fi signal in the office, too. A couple of days ago internet connectivity became very inconsistent. All the resets in the world made no difference. It eventually got down to where it only lasted about 5 minutes then go away. Everything showed I was connecting to the router okay...just no access to the internet. When I removed the router from the setup I had internet access on the main desktop. Hey, easy diagnosis...right? Bad router. I had two new ones on hand. Installed new one....no internet...same issue. Tried next new router...nope...same thing. Three bad routers in a row? I don't think so.
I personally know they guys that are the techs for the internet company. One came out and messed with it for a while...and it began mystifying him. After conferring with others they began looking into IP address issues. I had originally called them and they had told me that my system was DHCP Dynamic, and that my router could automatically take care of that. Well...it should have but it didn't.
The tech finally said he would try using a static IP setup. After he got through entering the numbers....wha-lah! Everything came back...both desktops and the wi-fi internet. He was actually sort of mystified as to why it would switch back to static IP after having been setup up on Dynamic for so long. He thinks the antenna may have gotten "confused." Anyone willing to take a guess at this as to why?

Last month, Business Insider released a list of “The 25 best jobs in America right now, according to employees.” On that list, and ranking at an impressive 10 and 2, respectively, were two accounting positions: Audit Manager and Tax Manager.
At The Execu|Search Group, our Accounting/Finance division has also seen an increase in interest for these roles on both the candidate and employer sides. So why are audit and tax so in demand right now? To put it simply: tax and audit are continuing to strengthen due to changing regulations and rules.
“Tax was always a strong field, but many firms are currently expanding their tax groups,” says Elisa Dammacco, a Managing Director of The Execu|Search Group’s Accounting/Finance division. “There is more money in the market now and the economy is improving, so people are willing to pay for accountants to do their taxes; they know that the accountant’s fee can often be outweighed by extra tax benefits they wouldn’t have found otherwise.” Furthermore, now that the industry is catching up after the post-recession scramble to implement compliance efforts, companies are also spending more money on special tax services beyond compliance.
Many may consider waiting until the end of tax season to begin their job search, but just because it’s already tax season doesn’t mean there are no jobs out there. In fact, many employers are implementing extended start dates to accommodate those looking for a role after tax season is over, and by waiting until then to start looking, many candidates risk losing out to their more proactive competition.
“CPA firms are building out their family office and high net worth tax departments due to the improving economy,” says Irv Myones, a Senior Managing Director of The Execu|Search Group’s Accounting/Finance division. “In addition, international tax is strong as well, in both consulting and individual ex patriate tax. Individuals are making money and companies are doing business, both at home and in other countries.”
Both external and internal audit are also experiencing growth due to an increasing number of regulations, many of which are new. “With these increased regulations and the financial crisis just past, in addition to several scandals on Wall Street, the focus of all of the major financial services institutions has been the internal control environment that exists and that needs to exist,” says Alan McGinn, a Senior Managing Director at The Execu|Search Group. “For this reason, our industry has seen an unprecedented increase in demand for internal controls and internal audit professionals to satisfy their expanding departments.”
Advice for Job Seekers
According to Elisa, one of the most important pieces of job search advice for these professionals is to know their resume and the ins and outs of every item on it. For example, if you have international tax experience on your resume, be sure to know foreign tax policies and be able to speak to that specialty. Likewise, public audit professionals should know their clients and the industries they serve.
“It may seem like common sense, but many candidates go into interviews unprepared to answer the interviewer’s questions about their resume,” says Elisa. “It can make a candidate look bad if they are unable to answer these questions; if you can’t hold a conversation about the specialty you work in, how well-versed in that specialty can you be?”
In addition to your resume, be able to speak about the company as well. By thoroughly researching the organization you’re interviewing for, you’ll be able to better describe how you can impact the department and the company as a whole—something that’s a great practice for all job seekers regardless of industry.

Global Teacher Leader Visits Monroe High
Monroe High School faculty and staff continued their staff development series on Wednesday, May 21st with a visit from Julie Van Olden, Union County Public Schools Global Teacher Leader. This was valuable exposure for the Monroe High School educators as Mrs. Van Olden shared her global perspective along with important information about the Global Teacher Leaders program.
Mrs. Van Olden shared her personal story as a member of the global community. Most importantly, she shared practical ways to infuse globalization into instruction in a meaningful and authentic way. Her presentation started with a flag recognition activity in which teachers worked collaboratively to identify the country each flag represents. This was an excellent way to break the ice and it reminded teachers and staff that a simple activity can be used across different content areas to introduce globalization.

Monroe High School strives to strengthen global connections with schools around the world as part of the Global Redhawks’ Focus. Spanish and ESL classes have combined efforts to share cultural and academic heritage with MHS sister schools in Argentina for a third year in a row. Mr. Tejada’s ESL Class, Mrs. Brusa’s Spanish classes and Ms. James’ Spanish classes have participated in the exchange during the 2013-2014 school year.
Students have participated in several Skype exchanges with students from schools in Cordova, Argentina. Students have also collaborated to create a VoiceThread blog where interesting social and cultural issues relevant to both cultures have been explored. The use of technology has enhanced the relationship among the sister schools in Argentina and Monroe High School giving all participants a new way to share and learn. As in the past the exchanges have opened spaces for students to share both academic and social information. At times the exchanges have been purely academic while at times popular culture has been exchanged. For example, Rodrigo Jimenez sang a traditional song from Mexico to students in Argentina. They responded by singing a traditional Argentinean song for the Monroe High School students.Full Story

Women who work outside the home are facing a generational crisis as they find themselves searching for home care for elderly relatives. The U.S. elderly population, defined as those age 65 or older, accounted for 13% of the population in 2010, a figure expected to grow to 20% by 2030.
The elderly population has greater need for in-home care and few means to attain it. For this reason, caregiving often falls to the family—particularly wives, daughters, and daughters-in-law. Daughters are 28% more likely to care for an elderly parent than are sons, and women provide almost two-thirds of unpaid elder care overall. Time magazine highlighted the case of Ruby Lawrence, who had to shoulder the burden of caring for her elderly mother with dementia because her family could not pay for extended long-term care but was not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. Caregivers like Lawrence may also experience negative psychological consequences, such as anxiety, depression, and stress, as a result of providing care.
Because women on average make 80 cents for every dollar that men make, women are often pressured to take on a caregiver role in order to ensure that the one wage shared in a family is the higher one. The sacrifices women make to provide elder care include decreased work hours, passing up job promotions, or quitting their jobs. The value of the informal care that women provide is estimated to be around $148 billion to $188 billion annually. At the same time, cuts to Medicare and Medicaid as well as rising costs of healthcare have led many insurers to push toward homecare and away from nursing homes. And, of course, most of the people employed in the homecare industry are women, who receive very little for demanding and demeaned work. In addition, because women outlive men on average, after caring for a spouse or elderly relative, they are often left alone, with nobody to care for them, and fewer economic resources to obtain care.
The for-profit health insurance industry makes high-quality elder care accessible to the wealthy and inaccessible to the working class. As Marxist feminists, we understand that removing the material cause of this inequality is our primary task. To relieve the burden of elder care that falls disproportionately on women, we need a publicly funded, universal, single-payer healthcare program that includes long-term elder and hospice care in its comprehensive coverage.
DSA’s National Medicare for All program advocates for just such a system. Prioritizing the health of working-class Americans, including the elderly, over the profits of insurance company executives is a crucial demand for Marxist feminists. Daughters and wives freed from the responsibility of elder care can enjoy greater equality within society. A reduced burden on their time, energy, and material resources will give women more independence to pursue their own ambitions—and more freedom to enjoy the company of their aging family members, without performing tasks that should fall to fairly compensated professionals.
Single-payer can only be won when workers stand up to health insurance companies—in the streets, in their workplaces, and at the ballot box—and demand that their interests be prioritized over corporate profits or tax cuts for the wealthy.

Beamforming is a major building block of Radio Resource Management (RRM) in WLAN networks that helps mitigate the interference and maximize the transmission opportunity of Access Points (AP) toward Wireless Devices (WD).
In contrast to the related-work In-Path approaches, we propose a novel Out-Of-Path approach to beamforming calibration that is based on concepts from Computer Aided Graphical Design (CAGD) field and now-a-day network design best practices.
The enhancement that the presented solution adds to the beamforming operation time and results’ accuracy is investigated.
It is demonstrated that the processing of beamformer’s parameters: array elements’ signal weighting and phase shifting, to achieve the desired angle of radiation, direction of arrival and gain, is possible at Wireless Lan Controller (WLC) level in indoor controlled WLAN networks.
Further, we introduce in the same context, the concept of a pseudoAP, a virtual AP that represents a cluster of all possible real AP beamformers to a given WD and investigate the enhancement that it may add.
The results of both simulations show an important enchancement of the conventional beamformer processing time at AP level.
But at WLC level, a trade-off exists between maximizing the transmission opportunity and reducing the required processing time.


A small track fire in a subway tunnel on Tuesday morning disrupted service on three lines, the N, Q and R, a spokesman for the Fire Department said.
The fire near the Lexington Avenue-59th Street station was reported at about 9:30 a.m. and was under control by 10:57, the spokesman said. No injuries were reported, and officials had not determined what had caused the fire.
But the residual effects of the fire and smoky conditions did cause the suspension of N and Q trains between Queensboro Plaza and 57th Street-Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. R trains were running on the F train track from 57th Street in Manhattan to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue in Queens.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said she did not know when the trains would resume normal service.


An 18-year-old Kingston man was charged with uttering death threats after Gananoque police assisted the Ontario Provincial Police in responding to a large house party east of Gananoque on Thursday.
In addition to observing damage to the property, police were told several unwelcome males were responsible and had left the scene in a dark truck.
Gananoque Police then received a call about a dark truck that had reportedly followed a male into town from the party. The complainant saw the truck idling outside the residence and did not feel safe, according to a police news release.
A citizen then approached officers as the search for the truck continued and reported that two of the suspects were inside a business and allegedly threatening to return to the party to do harm, town police reported.
Officers located the suspects; one was co-operative, but the other allegedly provided a false identify. In addition to the uttering threats charge, he also faces charges of obstructing a police investigation and mischief to property. He was held for a show cause hearing and later released on conditions to a surety.
Brief foot pursuit
GANANOQUE – A 35-year-old man was held for bail court after being arrested by Gananoque Police on Thursday.
An off-duty officer had reported that a wanted man was observed in town. Police located the man inside a vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. He allegedly ran from the vehicle but was arrested following a brief foot pursuit.
Held for psychiatric assessment
GANANOQUE – Gananoque Police arrested an elderly woman and took her to hospital on Friday.
Town police had received a call about the woman reportedly exhibiting “bizarre” behaviour at a business, according to a news release.
The complainant, who is familiar with her, advised police that she had driven her car toward him in a threatening manner several times. Given her deteriorating mental heath and squalid living conditions, officers who are also familiar with the woman apprehended her under the Mental Health Act. She was held for a psychiatric assessment.
Anyone who has concerns about the mental health and well-being of a family member or friend is encouraged to contact the Gananoque Police Service’s community outreach program. Town police work in partnership with Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Addictions and Mental Health and the John Howard Society and Victim Services.
Charges include choking, assault
GANANOQUE – A 51-year-old Gananoque man was being held for a bail hearing after police charged him with multiple offences.
Town police received a domestic complaint and determined that the accused had allegedly assaulted his partner numerous times over the course of several weeks. Police located the suspect at his residence and arrested him. He was then searched, and police reportedly seized a quantity of crystal meth.
He faces charges of assault, overcoming resistance by choking, failing to comply with a probation order and possession of a Schedule I substance.
Youth located, arrested
GANANOQUE – A male youth faces two charges of failing to comply with an undertaking after being arrested by Gananoque Police.
Town police responded to a missing person report; the investigation revealed that the youth is on conditions to be amenable to the rules and discipline of the home and allegedly left without permission, police reported Sunday.
The suspect was later located and arrested without incident.

Sherif El-Refai is a doctoral student in clinical and experimental pharmaceutical science at the University of Kentucky. Sherif El-Refai works in the University’s Black Lab, where he contributes to research in genetic therapies for cancer.
In 2016, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center announced the development of a small device that could genetically modify a patient’s blood cells. Designed for use in places that have limited access to genetic cancer treatments, it fits on a table yet does the work of a high-budget clean room ordinarily available only in research hospitals.
The product is a redeveloped version of the closed-system CliniMACS Prodigy and follows current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs). Testing revealed that the quality of the modified blood cells was similar to or better than those created in regulated clean-room laboratories. Furthermore, testing in animal models demonstrated successful repopulation in two individual trials.
These positive results indicate the potential usefulness of the product in treating patients in remote areas. Researchers estimate the total per-patient cost of the system to be significantly less than that of the traditional model, thus making the system particularly promising for use in under-resourced communities.

This paper looks into Moo Jung from the formalistic point of view. Firstly, the paper looks through in a way of aesthetic configuration if the main idea of Moo Jung is related to the image that new critics carefully observe. Then, it observes conflicts in the novel which is the kernel of the narrative structure focuses on relationships between the character and the times, and that of among characters. Lastly, this paper examines how the symbol which plays an important role as expressing the main idea contributes to the internal meaning of the novel.
Moo Jung is structured as a competitive form that the surface theme competes with the internal theme; this structure gives tension to the work.
The novel’s narration crosses between a pure image and a regrettable vindictive spirit’s image; those images are opposed to each other. The pure image that is expressed by Lee Hyung-sik and Kim Sun-hyung shows the surface theme while the regrettable vindictive spirit’s image that is expressed by Park Young-chae leads the internal theme and forms the kernel of this work. On the surface, the surface theme led by a pure and vivid image seems to be the mainstream of Moo Jung however, the real one is the internal theme that is led by Park Young-chae’s regrettable vindictive spirit’s image. This fact even attracts readers more.
The main conflict appears in Moo Jung is a love triangle. Lee Young-sik, a hero of the novel, smarts between Park Young-chae - obligation for old days - and Kim Sun-hyung - benefit for now -and this forms the main conflict.
The next conflict that is found in the work is that of main characters that represent the time they live: the death of Park the officer and his sons, suicide of Wal-hwa, the conflict in Young-chae herself who is a gi-saeng or not, the trouble of Byung-wook, and the trouble of Byung-wook’s brother. These conflicts prop up the main conflict, and make internal meaning of the novel more rich and meaningful.
In addition, the conflict result from irony shows in the novel: the frustration on patriots’ (Park the office and his companions) wills of accomplishing national salvation versus the higher reality of people who only seek profits and pleasure. While patriots’ wills end with the frustration, people who only seek profits and pleasure all rise to higher social positions or win in reality. The formation of irony is done by winning of falsehood in a battle of truth and falsehood, and of existence in a battle of reason and existence. Irony occurs in the aspect of the formation in personality by Lee Hyung-sik; he is originally a weak character, but eventually he becomes an accomplisher of strong will for national salvation. Throughout this, heterogeneity between the surface theme and the internal theme shows as a conflict; surface themes are establishment of education in the country and the will of enlightenment, and internal themes are lamentation of Young-chae and grief from the loss of her own country.
Finally, the paper discusses how a flood relates to the main theme of the novel on the aspect of symbol.

CLEVELAND, OH – Despite similar usage rates, African Americans in Ohio were four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites in 2010, according to a new report released today by the ACLU. The report, Marijuana in Black and White: Billions of Dollars Wasted on Racially Biased Arrests, is the first ever to examine state and county marijuana arrest rates nationally by race.
“The War on Marijuana has disproportionately been a war on people of color,” says Ezekiel Edwards, Director of the Criminal Law Reform Project at the ACLU and one of the primary authors of the report. “State and local governments have aggressively enforced marijuana laws selectively against Black people and communities, needlessly ensnaring hundreds of thousands of people in the criminal justice system at tremendous human and financial cost.”
Ohio is among the states with the most marijuana possession arrests and Cuyahoga County ranks among the counties with the highest numbers of African American arrests for marijuana possession in the nation. In Allen County, African Americans were 13 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites and large disparities were also found in Columbiana, Stark, Scioto, Portage and Summit counties.
Statewide, marijuana possession arrests accounted for 48 percent of all drug arrests in 2010 and cost Ohio over $120 million. Nationally, there was one marijuana arrest every 37 seconds in 2010 and an African American was over 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person.
These racial disparities were found in all regions of the U.S., regardless of county population or whether African Americans make up a small or a large percentage of that population. The disparity existed regardless of county household income levels. In fact, greater disparity was found in affluent and middle income counties.
“The fundamental disparity highlighted in this report has done immeasurable damage to communities of color while failing to stop or even slow the use of marijuana,” said ACLU of Oho Policy Director Shakyra Diaz. “These policies are time-consuming, costly, racially biased and they don’t work. It’s time for Ohio to begin making aggressive plans for marijuana decriminalization.”

After the final episode of "Sam & Cat" aired last April 26, it seems as if fans won't be able to see both lead stars in the same show anymore. News has it that Sam's actress, Jennette McCurdy has bid farewell to the Nickelodeon television series. What pushed McCurdy to say goodbye for good to a well-loved series?
This isn't new to the ears of "Sam & Cat" fans. Reports of the shows' cancellation were quite ripe long before Jennette McCurdy's sexy selfie leaks and Ariana Grande's busy body schedule with her second album. Well, now the show is officially on hiatus following the last episode which was aired April 26.
"We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of Sam & Cat, and everyone is understandably tired," says a Nickelodeon representative to E! News (via NewsOxy.com), adding, "We are going into our production hiatus next week which will give everyone on the show a much needed rest."
"Arianators" and "McCurdians" won't be able to see their favourite stars join forces for the show. As much as the reports go, the hiatus is more of a cancellation. In fact, Jennette McCurdy has allegedly already said goodbye to the show according to various reports on the web.
Even with the show on hiatus, the reason as to why the show was cancelled remains unresolved. Critics blamed Jennette's sexy selfie leaks while a few others claim it was the unfair pay out for both stars. Rumours claimed Grande was paid more than McCurdy which caused the rift between both actresses.
Adding fuel to the feud rumours was Jennette's notable absence during the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. In response to reports as to why she had chosen to ditch the show, McCurdy posted a lengthy tweet on Twitter.
"I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me. I chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what my mom taught me is ALWAYS the most important thing," stated McCurdy on her account.
In addition, McCurdy was spotted out and about with Grande's former frenemy, Victoria Justice. Could Jennette have asked for advice regarding her own feud with Ariana Grande? Hopefully, this won't be the last fans will see of Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy together.

“Transformer” by The Dodos, from the album Carrier.
So much excitement to hear that The Dodos are working on their fifth album, Carrier (out August 27th). It’s second single, Substance, still carries these San Franciscan’s indie-folk roots and incorporates a touch of elegance to create such a beautiful track.
Great day for new music. Here’s the latest from The Dodos, from their new album “Carrier” (out August 27), the follow-up to 2011’s No Color. The track is called “Confidence” and will be released as a digital single on May 21. The album was heavily influenced by the death of Christopher Reimer, who joined the band in 2011. He was an inspiration to the band that led them to exploring more tones and sounds when writing the songs on “Carrier”.


Only If Architecture Redefines the Coffee House at City of Saints Coffee Roasters Bryant Park Cafe
Although they met while working at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Adam Frampton and Karolina Czeczek had never worked on a project together. That changed when Frampton, 38, moved to New York in 2013 to found Only If Architecture, with 32-year-old Czeczek joining soon after. The principals, now married, have spearheaded a slew of local projects, from a miniscule coffee shop in Manhattan to a 24-mile plan for a Brooklyn–Queens corridor. “We try to make connections across scales,” Czeczek explains. The architects tend toward the cerebral—Frampton is an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Czeczek a Fulbright Scholar—and admit the ongoing influence of Rem Koolhaas’s rigor. “But we’re also trying to invent a new language of our own,” Frampton adds.
Witness their design for the City of Saints Coffee Roasters Bryant Park Cafe, the boutique brand’s third location in New York. Its dominating palette derives from the seafoam color of the fiberglass grating typically used for platforms on oil rigs, and utilized here for the first time as part of a company-wide rebranding effort. “We deliberately avoided the coffee-house clichés of subway tile and reclaimed wood,” Frampton says. Which explains the actual examples of the grates for the café’s dropped ceiling. A centrally located counter, its quartzite top in a coordinating minty green, organizes guests circulating through the tidy 900 square feet in an orderly looped choreography Rem would be proud of.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s National Committee of Information Society is ready for effective presence in World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+10 High Level Event in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh resort, an Iranian official said Monday.
The WSIS+10 High Level Event will be held from 13 to 17 April 2014 in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh resort. This event will be an extended version of the WSIS Forum.
Caretaker of the National Information Network’s Development Office Ali Asghar Ansari said that prior to attending WSIS event, the national committee is going to sponsor a seminar in Iran in a bid to study the possible strategies for the WSIS Forum that will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, in May 2014.
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2014 will be jointly organized by UNESCO, ITU, UNCTAD and UNDP in Geneva, Switzerland, from 19 to 23 May 2014.
The Forum provides structured opportunities to network, and the possibility to learn and participate in multi-stakeholder discussions and consultations on WSIS implementation. 1,500 participants will meet in the Forum.
The WSIS+10 High-Level Event is designed to review the progress made in the implementation of the WSIS outcomes under the mandates of participating agencies, and to take stock of achievements in the last 10 years based on reports of WSIS Stakeholders, including those submitted by countries, Action Line Facilitators and other stakeholders.
The event will review the WSIS Outcomes (2003 and 2005) related to the WSIS Action Lines with the view of developing proposals on a new vision beyond 2015, potentially including new targets. This process will take into account the decisions of the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly.

ELKHORN — The Lakeland Players community theater group returns to the stage with a musical about a country music legend.
“Always...Patsy Cline” will be performed Fridays through Sundays, Sept. 24 to 26 and Oct. 1 to 3, at the historic Sprague Theater, 15 W. Walworth St., Elkhorn.
Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m.
“Always” is a musical play created by Ted Swindley.
Along with down-home country humor and audience participation, the musical includes 27 songs, including such Cline hits as “Crazy,” “I Fall To Pieces” and “Walking After Midnight.”
A tribute to Cline, the show is also based on the true story of the singer’s friendship with a fan, Louise Seger.
In 1961 Texas, Seger befriended Cline, and the two corresponded until Cline died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash.
The title of the show derives from how Cline would sign her letters to Seger — “Love, ALWAYS.”
The show is directed by Barry Norton, of Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Its stars are Amber Dow, of Chicago, as Patsy Cline; and Pamela Jones, of Elkhorn, as Louise Seger.
Elkhorn’s Thomas Jones is the producer of “Always,” with musical direction by John Ivan, of Burlington.

Five other Christians received eight-year terms for burying the pair, who were set upon by a mob as they drove though a Christian neighborhood on Sulawesi island a day after the Sept. 22, 2006, executions of Fabianus Tibo and two other Christian militants.
The three executed Christians had been found guilty of leading a militia that killed at least 70 Muslims during a 1999-2002 religious war on the island that led to the deaths of at least 1,000 people from both faiths.
The South Jakarta District Court found all 17 men guilty Thursday of violating anti-terrorism laws.
"It has been proven that they carried out acts of terror together and tried to hide the crime by hiding the bodies," said head judge Ahmad Subari.
Two of the 12 found guilty of murder were sentenced to 14 years in jail each, while the other 10 got 12 years.
It was not clear whether any of defendants intended to appeal.
The executions of the three Christian militiamen took place despite an appeal by Pope Benedict XVI to spare the men and claims by human rights groups that their trials were unfair. The revenge killings were the bloodiest incident in several days of protests at the executions.
More than 90 percent of Indonesia's 220 million people are Muslims, but Sulawesi has a roughly equal number of Muslims and Christians. Earlier this year, police rounded up several Islamic militants accused in bombings and shootings since 2002, and the island has been peaceful since then.

Two months after the end of his marriage the newly-divorced French president Nicolas Sarkozy is already giving serious thought to installing another First Lady in the Elysee Palace.
The mother of his current companion, model-turned-singer Carla Bruni told an Italian newspaper the 52-year-old premier had popped the question and asked her daughter for reply by New Year's Day.
In the interview with La Stampa Marisa Bruni Tedeschi spoke of her happiness at seeing 39-year-old Carla "so radiant and in love". She declined to give any more details, saying: "We mamas always end up gossiping too much."
Her daughter - who had relationships with rockersEric Clapton and Mick Jagger in the Eighties - first met Mr Sarkozy at a dinner in the grounds of the chateau of Versailles last month.
Their liaison became public when the couple were spotted at Disneyland with their two sons from previous relationships.
Carla was accompanied by Aurelien, her six-year-old child with a well-known French philosopher, while the president took along Louis, ten, the from his marriage to second wife Cecilia.

MTV Base meets is a show produced by MTV Base (Africa).
The show will be airing a panel of leading African tech entrepreneurs, innovators, and social investors, seating alongside the world’s richest man, Bill Gates.
The US entrepreneur and philanthropist will make the special TV appearance on the episode of the show tagged ‘MTV Base Meets Bill Gates’ where he will discuss his views on the future of African technology, innovation and development with a group of African youths.
The panel is enviable for its embrace of diversity as it features African youths affecting and making contributions to the energy, employment, health, environment and education sectors.
The panelists comprise; 23-year-old Chris Kwekowe from Nigeria, 23-year-old George Mtemahanji from Tanzania, 24-year-old Brian Gitta from Uganda, 23-year-old Thato Kgathlanye, 27-year-old Siya Xuza from South Africa and 21-year-old Martha Njeri Chumo from Kenya.
Nigerian panelist Chris Kwekowe is the co-founder of Slatecube, a service that adequately solves the constraints of e-learning to help solve youth unemployment in Nigeria.
Tanzania’s George Mtemahanji is an alternative energy entrepreneur and founder of SunSweet Solar while Brian Gitta, from Makarere University in Uganda, invented a tool that can diagnose malaria without the need for blood samples and a laboratory. The rest of the panelists have contributions just as impressive.
MTV Base meets is a long-standing franchise of MTV internationally, albeit the African iteration. It connects opinion formers and thought leaders with African youth by creating an intimate forum in which young people can pose candid questions about issues affecting their lives and futures.
The panel will certainly be an enlightening one and will hopefully hold promise for more innovation in the future.
MTV Base Meets Bill Gates was recorded at artSPACE, in Durban, South Africa during Bill Gates’ visit to the 21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016) in July.
The show will premiere in Nigeria on MTV Base (DStv channel 322) on Friday, August 5, 2016, at 6.30pm.

Rice Bar Carry In Meal
I told you the Cinnamony Goodness post other day that I would post about the rice bar we had for the small group party.
I got the idea for this from WBCL's Kitchen Caboodle Mid Morning program. We were planning a small group party at our house and we wanted to do a carry in type dinner. They left the theme up to me because we were hosting and I remembered the kitchen caboodle program.
The way that I did it was I sent out an email saying that we were doing a rice bar and I would provide the rice, dessert, and 1 topping and everyone else could bring whatever they wanted that went on rice.
I made both white and brown rice, Peanutty Goodness (Asian Peanut Beef, will post that recipe soon :) ), and Cinnamony Goodness. I also provided hot drinks, water and homemade grape juice.
There were 3 other couples who brought food and they brought Coconut Curry, Asian Yuminess (thats what she called it :), it was meat, beans, and broccoli with soy sauce), and Mexican Rice Bowls. We had so much food and so much fun! I wish I would have gotten some pictures of the bar so you could see what it looked like, but I was too busy cooking and socializing.
So what about you? What would you do for a carry in theme?

Writer, producer and movie director
In early 2019 I journeyed to Italy from Los Angeles to view Annalaura di Luggo’s extraordinary and innovative art project “Napoli Eden”. The project was comprised of four art installations placed through the city of Naples, one of the installations even recalled elements of her award-winning project, “BlindVision”, which allowed the viewer interaction in a most intriguing manor. Through her use of form and color, each installation had a unique voice and character of their own, but shared one common thread, they were all made from recycled aluminum. Each of them was bold, entertaining, inspirational and thought provoking. The closing night ceremony of the exhibit was another example of Annalaura’s genius as a forward thinker, the evening was capped off by a fashion show which consisted of 21 dresses made from recycled aluminum, each one a wearable piece of art. I was also privileged to be asked to participate in the motion picture chronicling Annalaura’s amazing career as an artist and humanitarian... The honor of sharing thoughts and ideas with Annalaura was truly inspiring and in my opinion, Annalaura is clearly one of the most gifted creative forces in the world of contemporary art today.

Sheldon Whitehouse helped create legislation that keeps thousands of Rhode Islanders from falling into the Medicare Doughnut Hole, a kind of financial and medical hell where you must pay for all your prescription drugs out of pocket. But the real question is: can he convince people to stop eating doughnuts all together? Then we’d be talking real change — LOL! From the Whitehouse Press Office:
Senator Whitehouse to Provide Cranston Seniors with Update on Medicare Doughnut Hole Savings
Providence, RI – This Monday, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Roberts will meet with Cranston seniors to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and give an update on how the law is saving money for Rhode Islanders.
Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, thousands of Rhode Island seniors fell into the so-called Medicare “doughnut hole” and were forced to pay the full cost of their prescription drugs. Senator Whitehouse heard from many Rhode Islanders who were hurt by the doughnut hole, and successfully fought to eliminate it as part of the Affordable Care Act.
Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Roberts is chair of the RI Healthcare Reform Commission, an appointment made by executive order of the Governor. The commission is the body in state government that is leading an open and collaborative process, overseeing the implementation of health reform in Rhode Island.
At Monday’s event, Senator Whitehouse and Lieutenant Governor Roberts will provide an update on how much money seniors in Cranston and across Rhode Island have saved as a result of the new law.
EVENT: Whitehouse and Roberts to Provide Update on Medicare Savings
WHO: U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Roberts
WHEN: Monday, April 8th
WHERE: Cranston Senior Center
1070 Cranston Street
One thought on “Sheldon Whitehouse: Helping Rhode Islanders out of the Doughnut Hole”
The pharmaceutical corporations had a big hand in making this all so complicated. Thanks to Sen. Whitehouse for helping seniors on a fixed income.

How did you understand that you are a gambler? I realized that I am a gambler when I played roulette for the first time. The roulette game seemed very tempting to me.

Tesla Inc. has moved quickly to improve its battery supply chain, making it possible for all of its Model 3 vehicles to be eligible for federal tax credits in the United States. When combined with other tax reductions, these credits can potentially reduce the price of a Model 3 down to a point where it is lower than the price of a Toyota Camry.
It was just certified by the administration of Vice President Joe Biden that all Tesla Model 3 automobiles are now qualified to receive consumer tax credits of $7,500 for using electric vehicles. In the past, only two of the three different variants of the Model 3 qualified for a portion of the available credits.
Because of the new battery limitations that took effect in April, the tax credit for the Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive and the Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive was decreased to $3,750. On the other hand, Tesla revealed on its website a week ago that starting this week, all variants of the Model 3 will once more be eligible for the maximum credit.

Chris Archer and Team U.S.A. begin play in the World Baseball Classic on Friday. They stand as good a chance at winning as the U.S. team ever does. That chance: decent enough, given their talent, even if they don’t have the best available U.S. talent.
Archer, however, has greater aspirations for the Team U.S.A. than merely winning the WBC. He wants it to help unite America. At least for a while. Via ESPN.com:
“Given the timing and the circumstances of our country, I think it’s a great opportunity for us, temporarily, to show we are united, regardless of the turmoil and things going on here and other places in the world. So it’s always been a dream. And what’s going on in the country right now makes it even better.”
Archer didn’t get super specific about that turmoil, but he expanded a bit on what he hoped the U.S. team could show:
“Just that we are all unified, at least in my opinion. And it is a beautiful country of diversity and freedom and a lot of other things that other countries don’t have. So for this moment in time, for this next two weeks, we’re going to put on this jersey with pride and show we’re diverse, we’re united, and what USA is really all about.”
It’s an admirable sentiment. And the idea that sports can help unify people is an admirable aspiration.
I suspect, however, that a baseball tournament that many actual baseball players don’t care about isn’t going to register very strongly with a great number of Americans. And I fear that our divisions are so strong that virtually nothing can break through them. At least for the time being.


Dennis DeYoung’s new album “26 East: Vol 1” will be released Spring 2020 via Frontiers Records and will feature the duet “The Good Old Days” with Julian Lennon.
DeYoung has previously announced this will be his last album but has added an update.
“This was supposed to be my final album but there were so many songs written that Serafino Perugino, CEO of Frontiers, suggested dividing it into two albums rather than one,” DeYoung states. “So be it. This is Volume 1, which sounds pretentious to me, but the marketing folks wanted you to know there are going to be two of them, so hey kids, there are two of them; this is Volume 1.“
It all started when Jim Peterik, a fellow Chicagoan and nearby neighbor, sent a song demo to Dennis.
“If not for Jim Peterik’s encouragement, talent and prodding I would not have recorded this music,” said DeYoung. “He once told me that the world needed my music; to which I replied ‘have the world text me for verification.’ We collaborated from the get go, happily and seamlessly and at this time we have written 9 songs together of which five will be on Volume 1. Just two Chicago guys doing what they do best, making music and having a laugh.“
The collaboration with Julian Lennon came about when DeYoung wrote a verse and chorus of a song with Lennon in mind. Lennon heard the demo and said he would be honored to participate. Lennon’s vocals were recorded in October at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY.
DeYoung shares, “The moment we sang together in the studio it felt magical. I wrote the song specifically for our two voices. I had never met Julian previously but I have been an admirer since Valotte.“
The album title “26 East” represents the birthplace of Styx. 26 E 101st Place was the address where DeYoung grew up in Roseland, on the south side of Chicago. Across the street at 39 E 101st Place lived the Panozzo twins, Chuck and John, whom would go on to form Trade Winds in 1962, which a decade later would become the core of Styx. The cover artwork of “26 East” features three locomotives, representing the three original members of Styx leaving the Chicago train yard dreaming of bigger and better things.
In support of the release of “26 East,” DeYoung will tour heavily throughout 2020. To kick-off the release of the album, DeYoung will appear at the House of Blues Chicago on April 3rd, with a live concert and sneak preview of the album. A CD of “26 East” is included with the price of admission. In addition, the album will be played in its entirety on the house PA, followed by a Q&A session with DeYoung and Jim Peterik to discuss the new music. It will be followed by the live performance of The Music of Styx. Attendees can expect to hear a few songs from the new album, also performed live.

I can't help wondering who the genius was who decided that the coldest, wettest month of the year in the UK was the best time to let kids out of school for a week. But there you have it. For parents of thousands of children in England and Wales (Scotland operates a different term system), all over Europe and in parts of North America, half-term or February school vacation looms as a week of indoor chaos - 9 days if you count the weekends tacked on either end.
But, don't despair. There are loads of fun things to do - indoors and out - that are open in February or that have special events geared for high spirited children and exhausted parents with cabin fever. If you start planning now, you'll be well prepared for some of the special events planned for half-term around the country.
The Natural History Museum in London is staging Curious Collectors from February 19 to 22, allowing kids to tour the museum and record their findings on video and audio at special collectors stations • The Science Museum will have the world's first entirely soft-bodied robot, a robot octopus slithering around, squeezing things during half-term • Leeds Castle in Kent is hosting a circus skills showcase with audience participation and is choosing a jester for the summmer. You can watch the auditions and then help judge by voting for the best • The Legoland Discovery Center, an indoor attraction at the Trafford Center near Manchester, launches its Star Wars Miniland show in time for the school holidays.

The Cape York region includes 43,000 square kilometres of catchments that drain eastwards into the Great Barrier Reef. The region contains some exceptional conservation assets, including relatively intact and extensive coastal dune fields, wetlands, rainforest, heathlands and river systems that support high levels of biodiversity found nowhere else in Australia.
A sizeable proportion of land in Cape York is under Aboriginal ownership or management including through the Indigenous Land Corporation. Traditional use of marine resources is very high, particularly in inshore areas adjacent to Indigenous communities.
The Cape York region has occasional cyclones and summer-dominated rainfall that delivers sediments, nutrients and pesticides to the inshore and sometimes offshore portions of the Reef in pulsed flows. The Normanby catchment delivers significant fine sediment loads to Princess Charlotte Bay, a marine biodiversity hotspot, during such events. There is extensive grazing year-round, with some horticulture and other cropping. A large proportion of the land is used for conservation purposes, e.g. national parks.
The outer reef is located very close to the shoreline and there are many continental islands and coral cays. Habitats including fringing and offshore reefs, intertidal, subtidal and deep-water seagrass and mangroves. Reef-based tourism, as well as commercial and recreational fishing, are an important part of the regional economy, particularly in the southern part of the region.
The region’s Natural Resource Management body, Cape York Natural Resource Management, works with the agricultural industry and landholders, including Indigenous landholder specific activities, to improve management practices and reduce run-off to the Reef.
The catchment profiles provide information about each area including size and rainfall, land use, targets, the priorities for water quality improvement and sources of pollutants.

Counselors specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. Mental health disorders frequently involve a medical component such as a chemical imbalance in the brain related to depression or other disorders. They can affect all age groups and frequently include a variety of life’s stressors such as relationship problems, drug and alcohol addictions, health issues and developmental concerns.
Licensed, trained Clinical Social Workers (CSW) provide treatment, with connections to other specialties involved in the treatment of mental health disorders where and when appropriate. Treatment begins with an assessment involving tools such as a clinical interview, diagnostic instruments, object measuring tools and collaborative evaluations between medical doctors, psychologists and psychotherapists. Treatment can and frequently does include the use of psychotropic medications and one-to-one counseling (psychotherapy). Under appropriate circumstances, inpatient psychiatric care can be necessary.
Collaboration with other service agencies such as schools, health providers, rehabilitation programs, courts and alcohol drug programs is common. Confidentiality is protected by law and guarded closely by providers as well as administrative personnel.
What People Are Saying
I absolutely love the ability to schedule appointments or contact my doctor on the MyChart app. Dr. Ptacek is always a wonderful care giver and Laura at the front desk always makes the clinic feel like you’ve walked into a friends house.
Dr. Weaver is such an excellent care provider because she listens, understands and is very forthright with her evaluations. She explains concerns and treatments thoroughly. She is a great lady and outstanding physician.
There are not enough words to describe how compassionate and caring the nurses are at the Hill City Clinic. Nurse Lois Gilbert is always friendly, always has a smile on her face and her demeanor and tone towards the patient is outstanding!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Legner (PA-C) for years. I won’t go to another doctor unless I have to. She’s always so professional and takes time with you in the exam room to make sure you understand what the problem is and the plan to fix it!
Dr. Willoughby, what a pleasure it was to see him! He is truly concerned about me and my health. He obviously studied my records. We had a discussion about my health, enabling us to work together. What a welcome relief to find this caring man!
Dr. Nylander was very kind and approachable. She listened to my concerns/reason for the visit and responded with compassionate care (she looked at me and smiled…isn’t that great?? Human connection!) She knew what to do and I felt like I was in good hands.
