So I’ve gotten into quite a routine since moving out to Los Angeles. Without any running around to do or friends coming down or dropping by, I’ve been very productive this past month.
This is both good and bad.
Still, my day has become pretty regimented, and I’ve been turning off the TV and listening to a lot more music in the process.
I usually wake up when Kathy gets back from her morning run with our dog, Mr. Fabulous. She leaves for work, I get ready, and then make a small breakfast and a pot of coffee. I watch the news and check emails until around noon. Then I turn off the TV and put five CDs in my player.
Then I just sit back, work and listen.
So I’m gonna start giving my daily breakdown of what I’m listening to. Just five CDs, completely random. I pick them from my CD racks blindly.
And here is today’s music:
Disc One: Victor Bermon “Arriving at Night” – Totally chill, minimal instrumentation. No vocals. Great winter weather music. If it were only winter here. Then again it did get down to a bone-chilling sixty degrees today. Brrr….
Disc Two: Various Artists “Carolina Funk: First in Funk 1968-1977” – Funk. From the Carolinas. In the late sixties, early seventies. A lot of guys trying to be James Brown, but still some great music on this 22-track collection.
Disc Three: The Crystal Method “Vegas” – For me, one of the seminal albums that got me into the whole electronic resurgence in the mid- to late nineties. Any album that starts off with a sample from “The Dark Crystal” is okay by me. Besides, I met these guys years ago and they were sweethearts… and they held my taco. Don’t ask.
Disc Four: Death in Vegas “Scorpio Rising” – I used to love Death in Vegas back in the day (I saw them open for the Chemical Brothers in Detroit in 1997), but this album has more misses than it has hits. A few gems, though, including “So You Say You Lost Your Baby,” which I love for some reason. Completely unlike me to like a song like that, but I can’t shake it.
Disc Five: The Cat Empire “Two Shoes” – Fun little band who had a radio hit about a year or so ago with “Sly.” It’s okay. Nothing I’d have sought out on my own, but still a catchy little album that one can breeze through while tapping their foot and not really hearing many of the lyrics.
So, there you go. Check back tomorrow for more.
It’s a pleasure to meet ya / You look like one incredible creature,

May 24, 2023 -- During the COVID-19 pandemic, young people experienced spikes in mental health difficulties, with girls taking a harder hit, particularly adolescents developing eating disorders, according to a report this week in JAMA Network.
“The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in daily life, social isolation, family economic burden, increased social media engagement, and reduced access to care, all of which might have negative associations with (mental health),” the authors wrote.
Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Stanford University studied a commercial healthcare claims database. They looked at how many youths 6 to 18 had one of four mental illness diagnoses from January 2018 to March 2022. The four diagnoses were anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, and eating disorders.
In an average month, they found that 25.3% of participants were 6- to 12-year-old girls; 23.6% were 13- to 18-year-old girls; 26.5% were boys 6 to 12; and 24.5% were boys 13 to 18.
“When schools began to reopen after the first waves of the pandemic (October 2020 to March 2022), the prevalence of all four mental illnesses rose immediately among girls aged 13 to 18,” the University of Minnesota reported. “Diagnoses of all disorders other than depression increased faster during than before the pandemic. Notably, the prevalence of eating disorders more than doubled among adolescent girls after the pandemic began (from 0.26% in March 2020 to 0.56% in March 2022).”
The authors said the study shows the need "to identify the underlying factors associated with the increase in (mental health) diagnoses in female adolescents (eg, social isolation or accelerated reliance on social media), so that targeted mitigation strategies can be developed to reverse the alarming trend which has continued several years into the COVID-19 pandemic."
The authors also pointed out that the study included only youths who were commercially insured. Also, recorded diagnoses of mental health issues might not reflect the actual status of youths in the study.

Everyone these days over a certain age has a bucket list. You know – the list of things that you want to do before you die. I have mine.
So what’s on my list.
- Climb Mount Everest?
- Take a cruise in the Mediterranean?
- Read James Joyce’s Ulysses in one sitting?
None of the above. It is to take a boat trip to an uninhabited island off the west coast of Ireland. High Island.
Why High Island?
You might wonder why this pose a serious challenge and why anyone might want to go there. To answer the first question, High Island, or in the Irish language, Ard Oileán, lies only about three kilometres off Galway coast, just opposite Omey near Clifden. Though so near the coast, it is a notoriously difficult island to access. There are no landing places for trawlers or small cruisers, let alone one of the big Aran ferries. Instead, you can only land on the island on very calm Summer days when the sea is like glass and the Atlantic swell less than ripple. Access is by currach, the kind of leather-clad boat that has been in use along this coast for over a thousand years, with a skilled local fisherman at the helm.
Is it particularly beautiful? No, not really. It is uninhabited except for some sheep that occasionally graze there. In fact, its history of habitation is quite thin. For most of its history, as far as we can tell, it was unoccupied. No trace of Neolithic peoples. No one from the pre-Famine era. And very few in between.
It’s claim to fame is that it was for a few hundred years home to a group of Irish monks who lived there an extraordinary way of life, not unlike that of the monks who lived on Skellig Michael off the coast of Kerry. The monastery was founded by a local saint, Saint Feichín, around the seventh century. It would appear that the monastic community remained until somewhere in the early twelfth century. This is based on information from early Irish manuscripts.
More recently the island was home to the Irish poet Richard Murphy who lived in a small two-room cottage for about twenty years. Before that, in the nineteenth century, there were some copper miners who lived occasionally to work a copper vein during the summer months.
Why did They Do it?
Some years ago I purchased a book about the archaeology of the island called High Island. The authors, Jenny White Marshall and Grellan Rourke, undertook in the 1980s and 1990s an extensive archaeological study of the island. They chose as their main focus a detailed account of the monastic complex towards the eastern end of the island. Initial surveys had been previously carried out in the early nineteenth century by the famous antiquarian George Petrie.
Right on the first page of the study the authors pose the question: why did they do it? Why did Irish men (and later women) brave the Atlantic to set foot on the island? Why did some choose to remain and establish a permanent monastic settlement? The researchers found clues to the answer to this question in what they discovered about third and fourth century Christianity in a part of the world thousands of kilometres away, in Upper Egypt. It was there that the first Christian monks in history imitated John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth and went out in the desert to devote themselves to the search for God. Because the quest for God in their lives matter.
Seeking God in the Wilderness
It was here, in the vast seas of the Atlantic Ocean, that the early Irish monks found their desert place, their wilderness. It was here that they came to seek God. It was here that they came to live intimately with the natural world, to read their Scriptures, to make holy each moment of the day by their prayer, and to make fertile the land so that they could grow food.
In time people gathered around them. The archaeology suggests from the evidence of extensive cultivation that there would have been men and women living there with the monastic community. That was the way Irish monasteries worked, men and women, monks and lay-folk, seekers of God together.
What is it to Seek God?
At the heart of what we call a ‘vocation’, is always the experience of God. By that we mean some encounter with the mystery of life that prompts us to go further, to decide to live differently, to opt for something quite ‘mad’, to risk our one life on some great endeavour that is worthwhile.
For some, this decision will open up the possibility of becoming a member of a religious community. Some religious communities are heirs to the monastic tradition described earlier.
This is the reason why High Island is on my bucket list. To set foot in a sacred place where men and women like us, in a far of time, took their courage in their hands to opt for a life beyond the ordinary.

As delegates from around the globe meet this week in India at the 2019 World Conference on Access to Medical Products-Achieving the SDGs 2030, closer to home IiH innovators are working toward the same goals of Universal Healthcare and Sustainable Development Goals. The world is one family. Our work supports that of conference organizers--the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the government of India, and the WHO--in ensuring healthy lives for all. We do so by supporting innovators who provide high-quality low-cost healthcare products and services aimed at eliminating health disparities throughout the world. Innovators including:
- Access.mobile (the innovator is access.mobile and amHealth is their core product): Hospitals and clinics pay an annual licensing fee to access amHealth which increases efficiency and patient engagement and leads to greater patient retention and – ultimately -- increased revenue for clinics and hospitals. amHealth is being used in large internationally certified hospitals and smaller specialty clinics alike to organize practices, save staff time, and improve patient care before, during, and after visits.
- AllizHealth: Monitoring tools from AllizHealth include a personal health risk assessment, personalized health records, and an analytic dashboard. While many solutions in the healthcare market focus on late-stage treatment, AllizHealth empowers the user to understand their health risks and make informed health decisions early, with the aim of preventing negative health outcomes and expensive treatment.
- Biofourmis: Biofourmis is reinventing remote patient monitoring that will increase patient outcomes and reduce re-admissions following discharge. Their proprietary AI technology identifies health deterioration weeks in advance of re-admission to hospital. Ultimately, their goal is to be an integrated solution and platform that actually reaches the patients, care teams, payers, and hospital providers.
- Heartfile: Heartfile developed an internet-based and mobile technology platform, validation and prioritization system, and health equity fund that allow providers to seek fast and transparent cash transfers for low-income individuals. The system accesses country demographic data to validate and facilitate requests for funding of health care provision and enables complete transparency to donors on the types of patients being financed.
- RubiconMD: Their platform gives primary care clinicians access to specialist expertise via electronic consults (eConsults). This helps support primary care and allows primary care clinicians to practice at the top of their license, avoid unnecessary referrals and tests, and provide much faster access to the right care plan for the patient.
- Salud Cercana: Salud Cercana's digital platform allows patients, primary those with cardiovascular diseases, to access a primary care network of doctors that are certified and use Salud Cercana's e-prescriptions software, as well as a referral network of specialists. Through the platform, patients receive care coordination, nutritional and psychological support, as well as notifications and reminders, to achieve their best health.
- THINKMD: THINKMD has developed a unique point-of-care mHealth platform that uses physician-based Bayesian scoring logic that is WHO guideline compliant and works offline. It decreases initial and subsequent training and evaluation cost and the health logic was designed to use real-time, clinical and epidemiologic data to facilitate the development of supervised machine learning algorithms that continually improve the accuracy of its assessments.
- TNH Health: TNH Health created chatbots that serve as “virtual nurse assistants” to help educate and monitor thousands of patients at once. The bot does a great job of engaging patients (sending tips, reminders, quizzes, images, videos, etc.), and the more that the patient interacts, the more personalized the content becomes. With the use of their AI-powered bots, a single HCP can monitor upwards of 4,000 patients at once and does so with substantial frequency and quality.
- Twiage: Ineffective and inefficient pre-hospital communication between ambulances and hospitals is a major problem which causes sentinel events (preventable deaths) and delays in treatment of stroke and heart attack. As a result, Twiage was developed to provide novel pre-hospital communication and intra-hospital care coordination technology enabling hospitals and EMS to accelerate life-saving emergency care by reducing the reliance on radio communication.

Using a condom correctly will help protect you and your partner. In later Roman-era Greek poetryanal sex became a common literary convention, represented as taking place with "eligible" youths: New York University Press. However, sexuality between males as distinct from third genders has thrived, mostly unspoken and informally, without being seen as different in the way it is seen in the west; young men involved in "such relationships do not consider themselves to be 'homosexual' but conceive their behavior in terms of sexual desire, opportunity and pleasure". There are lots of ways to reduce the risk of getting or giving a sexually transmitted disease STD from anal sex.

Watching TV throughout the years exposed us to a crapton of commercial jingles.
But as annoying as most of them were, some were actually pretty good, to the point that even after all these years, we can still hear them as if they were just released yesterday.
1. Close Up – Moving Closer (Never the Strangers)
The lyrics: “Inch by inch, we’re moving closer. Feel’s like a fairytale ending…”
Who didn’t mistake Never the Strangers for a foreign band as soon as Ace Libre sang the first lyric of this rocking tune?
2. Close Up – Closer You and I (Spongecola)
The lyrics: “The closer I get to touching you. The closer I get to loving youuu…”
Kimerald was at the height of their power and SpongeCola was churning out hits like ‘Di Na Mababawi’, ‘Makapiling Ka’ and ‘Ayt’; the latter a collab with Gary V.
Those were the days…
3. Rejoice – Kering Keri (Kim Chiu)
The lyrics: “Kering keri susunod sa aking galaw. Kering keri laging nangingibabaw”
Altho it always felt that the hand moves were a bit awkward and forced, it was pretty satisfying to see Kim Chiu trump her angsty rivals in the music vid.
4. Rejoice – Sumusunod Sa Galaw (JaBoom Twins)
The lyrics: “Sumusunoood sa galaw mo, sumusunoood sa galaw mo…” *flips hair*
You know this track is catchy AF when, even after the original singers have long since left the showbiz, after the brand has churned out countless of tunes since then, THIS is still the song people refer to when they hear the name ‘Rejoice’
5. Rejoice – Walang Sabit (Sandara Park)
The lyrics: “Walang sabit ‘di tulad nang iba, puro porma lang naman sila…”
Before finding success as a member of the now-defunct K-Pop group 2ne1, Sandara Park starred in a couple of Pinoy films and commercials after being a runner-up in Star Circle Quest.
Who wasn’t impressed with how Dara can speak almost perfect Tagalog even if she didn’t have a drop of Pinoy blood in her?
6. Nestle – Pag-Ibig (Jay Marquez of The Company)
The lyrics: “Hindi ko malimutan kung kalian nagsimulang… matutong ikaw lang ang mahalin”
It might be the touching love story that makes this jingle so memorable, but you can’t deny that the entire vid makes your heart all senti and mushy inside.
7. McDonald’s – Huling El Bimbo (Eraserheads)
The lyrics: It’s Huling El Bimbo guys, how can you NOT know the lyrics?
The Eraserhead hit is the perfect song about a commercial where someone reminisces about their first true love.
8. Coca Cola – Sana (Nikki Gil)
The lyrics: “Sana sa bawat sandali matikman pa, Sarap ng pagsasama at simpleng ligaya”
With an angelic face and an equally gorgeous voice, this hopeful and optimistic ad launched Nikki Gil into mainstream attention.
9. Camella Homes
The lyrics: “Bulilit, bulilit sanay sa masikip kumilos, kumilos ang liit liit”
This adorable jingle from Camella Homes made audiences fall in love with the ever so cute Chacha Cañete – and also sparked Chacha’s showbiz career.
10. Coca Cola – Ito ang Beat, Sabay Sabay
The lyrics: “Ito ang beat sabay sabay, eto ang beat bawal sablay”
You weren’t alive during the 90’s or early 2000’s if you didn’t know about this craze. Almost everyone attempted to replicate this fun game, and for me, it’s still the catchiest jingle us Pinoys ever came up with.
Fun fact: This jingle was remixed and was given some pretty lit dance moves.


Presenting: the Asus Fonepad, a 7-inch tablet that's also a phone
The Android-powered device features a new Intel Atom processor, and claims superior specs to Google's Nexus 7
The device is released March 2013, with prices starting at $286
Didn’t we tell you that the lines between smartphones and tablets are blurred? Case in point: the Asus Fonepad, a 7-inch tablet that’s also a phone.
Beware: the Fonepad is a completely different device than the PadFone Infinity. There’s no smartphone-becomes-tablet witchery here; the Fonepad is a 7-inch tablet, powered by Android 4.1 and sporting a 3G chip. You can use it to make calls, although we don’t think a 7-inch device is ideal for the task.
The Fonepad looks pretty much exactly like Google’s Nexus 7, which is hardly surprising since Asus makes that device as well.
However, the Fonepad is very different from most other Android tablets in a one important way: it’s powered by the new Intel Atom Z2420 processor (for comparison, the Nexus 7 is powered by ARM’s Cortex-A9 CPU).
Intel vice president Hermann Eul claims the processor “delivers the power, performance and flexibility required to accommodate a range of devices and market needs.” However, the actual CPU model in the Fonepad is a single-core Atom clocked to 1.2GHz, which doesn’t inspire confidence. With our short time with the Fonepad, we’ve tested Eul’s claim, and we can say that the Fonepad feels snappy, on par with other tablets of its size of the iOS and Android variety.
Other specs include a 1280x800 7-inch IPS screen, 8/16GB of storage (expandable via SD memory cards), and a 3-megapixel camera that can record 720p video. All of that is crammed into a case that weighs 340g and is 10.4mm thick.
The device will be available from March 2013, with prices starting at €219 ($286) for the 8GB version.
How do you like the Fonepad? Would you buy an Intel-powered Android tablet? Share your thoughts in the comments.

"HITCH UP YOUR GIRDLE, FOLKS"
Found this little gem in the AJC yesterday. It gives you an idea of what the future may be like for Tennessee partisans, media-wise, all across the expanse of Big Orange Country.
"It's entertaining and just short of libel," as the famed New York columnist Red Smith once wrote.
"It's rude, but it doesn't mean much," as Brooklyn Dodgers owner and all around bad guy Walter O'Malley once said about racial epithets directed at Jack Roosevelt Robinson. This came in those uncertain days conventional wisdom had it that a certain group of American citizens could not play in the national pastime, AKA "America's game."
Let's see now. Get your dictionary out.
In a column that can only be construed as "hit and run," there's the word "salacious," used to describe what has become popularly known as "Hostessgate."
There's a reference to Phillip Fulmer as a "schlep." If you can say that on the radio, you can probably say that in a newspaper of general circulation.
In a paean to the innocence of youth, there's a reference to "bubbly coeds" and "hormone raging teenage football players."
There's also a bow to the SEC's "lunatic following."
There was a complaint that Frank Beamer, with "228 wins" in his pocket was relegated to a secondary role at the Chick-fil-a Bowl media conference, because "the spotlight followed Kiffin."
Ah, yes. The Chick-fil-a Bowl media conference.
Who's asking the questions?
John Madden once said the Oakland Raiders always wanted "to lead the league in boos."
We're seeing the future evolve right in front of our very eyes.
Hitch up your girdle, folks. It's going to be a bumpy, and very interesting, ride.
I lived in Atlanta for 25 years and Jeff Schultz is an arrogant punk who knows nothing about football.
The AJC is one of the worst newspapers in the history of journalism and Schultzie is an illustration of why.
Schultz makes you guys at the KNS look like Grantland Rice.

First things first, the new MacBook Pro comes with a new keyboard design. Apple is finally getting rid of its butterfly keyboard design, replacing it with a new scissor-switch keyboard design that’s more reliable than before and offers 1mm key travel. The new keyboard design is being called the “Magic Keyboard”. The new design also brings back the physical Esc key, which sits next to the Touch Bar. “The new Magic Keyboard also features a physical Escape key and an inverted-“T” arrangement for the arrow keys, along with Touch Bar and Touch ID, for a keyboard that delivers the best typing experience ever on a Mac notebook,” says Apple.
The new MacBook Pro also has a bigger display than the previous 15.4-inch model. The 16-inch Retina display panel on the new MacBook Pro offers a resolution of 3072×1920 pixels, P3 wide color gamut and 500 nits of brightness.
Performance-wise, the new MacBook Pro features the 9th gen Intel processors, and you can get up to an 8-core processor, up to 64GB of RAM, up to 8TB of SSD storage (largest ever in a notebook), and the Radeon Pro 5000M graphics with up to 8GB of VRAM. To drive all that power, the new MacBook Pro comes with a 100-Wh battery. The device also features the “most advanced thermal architecture” ever in a Mac notebook, allowing for a 28% increase in airflow.
The new device also features louder speakers, thanks to the new six-speaker sound system, and studio-quality mics that are apparently capable of rivalling the “popular professional-grade” microphones.
Apple’s new 16-inch MacBook Pro will start at $2,399. You can pre-order right now.

Wonderful home base for exploring the White Mountains
Our family had a wonderful summer vacation based out of this home - it was spotlessly clean, well-appointed with everything we needed, and a cozy place to read and relax after our small children went to bed each night. We could not have had a more comfortable stay and loved taking advantage of the lake pass and picking blueberries on top of Foss mountain. It's also an easy (60-90 minute) drive to Portland ME, Mount Washington, and more lakes, swimming holes, and trails than we had time to explore in our trip. We hope to be back next summer! The owner was extremely responsive and helped make our stay easy.

Let's do something a little different this time around. Take your best B&W image. Be very selective. And write a short paragraph or two about what you like about the picture and/or how you processed it.
There will only be one entry. Again, show your best work and tell us why.
I will be judging on composition, subject, tonal quality, quality of light, and processing skill. B&W images strip away what sometimes can be distracting color. I am a big fan of B&W photography and I believe that it helps us hone our skills.
Here is one of mine that I would consider entering as a sample of what I am looking for.
As you may have noticed, I am particularly fond of photographing people. This shot was taken at the annual Berks Jazz Fest here in Reading, PA. I was shooting from the wings and sax player Gerald Albright was really getting into it. I loved the way the lighting was working and the intensity in his face as he played. I reduced the exposure a bit to eliminate any distracting images in the background and concentrated on the light coming directly at him from above. I also nudged up the contrast a bit because I like a bit more contrast in my images. This image is all about a musician in his element.
Note: The color image was dominated by Gerald's electric blue shirt which I felt distracted from the shot. I knew it would be in B&W when I pressed the shutter.
like the innocence and expressions of baby,presented so nicely,
This covered walkway is part of the Toronto PATH system. The walkway joins Union Station and the Metro Convention Centre. The first time I saw this view I was returning from a computer show at the Convention Centre where I purchased my first digital camera. I took a quick photo and continued on my way. Some time later I took the photo again with a much better camera, but I was not in the right position. A couple of Novembers ago we were at Union Station again with a bit of extra time on the parking meter, so I went back and took the photo again... This was taken with a Rebel T2i (550D) at 18 mm, ISO 400, f/4.0 and 1/60th. The view I like best is achieved by lining up all of the lamps. The steps at the west end make this fairly easy to do. There is a red brick building across the street but most of the scene is almost monochrome so conversion to B & W is fairly simple. The frame of the canopy provides strong lines which I think helps the graphic look.
wonderful image, full grandeur of building well captured, with great perspective
Great image. You do these well. I never would have thought to do this at f/4. I would have thought you wouldn't get this much clarity. Guess it is the depth and perspective of the image. I love the lines.
Thank you. F/4 works because the focal length is only 18 mm. A DOF calculator suggests the hyperfocal distance is about 9 feet, which allows focus from about 5 feet to infinity.
Fantastic image, great contrast.
I took this photo this week, I was out in the country at an Alpaca farm and this cat was following me eveywhere. I shoot in automatic but love this photo of the cat looking at his own shadow! "I am a Lion"! Its not how other people see you...but how you see yourself!


Biden halts border wall building after Trump's final surge
SAN DIEGO (AP) — In the days before Joe Biden became president, construction crews worked quickly to finish Donald Trump’s wall at an iconic cross-border park overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which then-first lady Pat Nixon inaugurated in 1971 as symbol of international friendship.
Biden on Wednesday ordered a “pause” on all wall construction within a week, one of 17 executive orders issued on his first day in office, including six dealing with immigration.
The order leaves projects throughout the border unfinished — but still under contract — after Trump worked feverishly last year to build 450 miles (720 kilometers), a goal he said he achieved eight days before leaving office.
The Trump administration said it had identified $15 billion to reach a total of 738 miles (1,181 kilometers), but it is unclear how many of those additional miles are under contract and what cancellation fees Biden would face to fulfill his pledge to not build “another foot.” Biden ordered answers within two months on how much the government committed, how much it would cost to extricate itself and whether contracts could be repurposed for other uses.
The White House had no immediate comment Thursday, but given the lack of communication between Trump aides and Biden's transition team, quick answers may prove elusive.
“It is remarkably opaque,” said Dror Ladin, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union who's scheduled to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court next month that it was illegal for Trump to divert billions of dollars from the Defense Department to build the wall.
John Kurc, an activist who posts videos of dynamite blasts by wall construction crews, said he saw one dynamite charge being set Wednesday afternoon in Guadalupe Canyon in easternmost Arizona, even as the inauguration was playing out in...

In confronting Turkey’s leadership over its disruptive behavior—most lately in the Eastern Mediterranean—the European Council will have to tread carefully between principles, possible actions, and unsound options.
The meeting—although depicted as a decisive diplomatic victory by Chinese state media—was especially disappointing to Chinese leadership considering they were trying to accomplish larger geostrategic goals. One was to prevent the creation of a united transatlantic front against China.
China’s failure to commit to reforms to move toward fairer conditions for European firms in the Chinese market, China’s actions in Hong Kong, and its increasing militarization of man-made islands in the South China Sea hardly deserve a fete.

With the UK government’s proposal of an internal market bill that could breach international law and derail negotiations with the EU, Britain is in the first stages of a profound and potentially dangerous upheaval.
As the coronavirus pandemic tests governments and societies around the world, it is also stressing the already fragile state of global democracy by undermining critical democratic processes, sidelining human rights, and unfettering authoritarianism.
The rapidly eroding trust between the UK and the EU casts a dark shadow over the future of European foreign policy cooperation. But as the eventful summer of 2020 has shown, that cooperation is much needed.

Video shows former Nicholas County bus driver driving while allegedly intoxicated
NICHOLAS COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) - In March, a Nicholas County bus driver was fired after being arrested on DUI charges.
The Nicholas County Board of Education said, on March 8, an aide with the school district called the West Virginia State Police to report bus driver Casey Dodrill after the aide noticed Dodrill was allegedly driving erratically while taking students home from Richwood High School and Gauley River Elementary.
According to the criminal complaint, a teacher’s aide called to report an incident where Dodrill nearly crashed Nicholas County School Bus 134. The complaint said Dodrill allegedly drove the bus off the road and almost failed to recover.
WSAZ obtained video that shows Dodrill on his afternoon bus route. Tap on the video link for the full story.

text: People.com Crime 26 Years After a Penn State Student Was Brutally Raped and Beaten, Authorities Arrest a Suspect Scott R. Williams was arrested Tuesday after detectives used genetic genealogy testing By Harriet Sokmensuer Published on October 7, 2021 06:01 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Scott R. Williams. Photo: State College Police A Pennsylvania man has been arrested for the rape and beating of a Penn State college student more than two decades ago. Scott R. Williams, of Reedsville, has been charged with eight counts, including rape, aggravated assault and robbery, Centre County District Attorney Bernie Cantorna announced during a news conference on Tuesday afternoon. Williams was arrested Tuesday after being identified by investigators through genetic genealogy testing, the DA said. "[This arrest] is a combined effort of multiple police agencies and many investigators over the course of 26 years," Cantorna said. Williams is accused of beating and raping a Penn State student in the early morning hours of May 13, 1995. The woman was found covered in blood and naked from the waist down in the middle of the road. Investigators determined she had been attacked from behind while walking home and dragged to a flower bed, where she was raped and beaten with an object, according to an affidavit obtained by WJAC reports. Cantorna said she had suffered fractures to her skull, face and jaw. Investigators at the time collected DNA evidence at the time but the attacker remained unknown. The evidence was filed with the FBI and in March 2000 — shortly before the five-year statute of limitations ran out — an arrest warrant was filed for a John Doe with the DNA profile. "Back in 1995, it was pretty common for crimes of violence where there was nothing other than physical evidence to identify a perpetrator to go unsolved and have the statute of limitations expired after that five-year period," Cantorna said Tuesday, noting that no other authorities in the eastern United States had ever filed an arrest warrant for a John Doe based on a DNA profile. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Sign up for PEOPLE's free True Crime newsletter for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases. In 2018, State College Police detective Stephen Bosak called Deputy District Attorney Sean McGraw and asked for his office's support in using genetic genealogy testing on unsolved cases in the department. "We, of course, said we would do everything in our power to support him," McGraw said Tuesday. Bosak worked with detective Nicole Eckley and used two private labs to run the crime scene DNA through a genealogy test, leading the pair to identify distant relatives of their unknown suspect. RELATED VIDEO: Missing Woman's Remains Apparently Found Under Boyfriend's Old House 51 Years After She Vanished Over the next three years, Bosak and Eckley conducted numerous interviews and DNA testing until they had reconstructed a family tree that brought them, in January, to Williams's mother, who provided investigators with a DNA sample, authorities said. Her sample confirmed that she was the mother of the suspect, McGraw said. The case was not the only the pair have been working on using the new technology. "Detective Bosak and Detective Eckley displayed incredible commitment, tenacity, and judgment in their pursuit of justice in these cases," McGraw said Tuesday. RELATED ARTICLE: 'So I Raped You': Facebook Message Leads to Arrest Warrant in Alleged 2013 Campus Assault "I hasten to add, however, that their work could not have been done without the extraordinary cooperation of many citizens across this commonwealth who voluntarily gave information as well as their own DNA in the pursuit of the men who committed the crimes in 1995 and 2010 through 2017." The investigation remains ongoing. It is unclear whether Williams has an attorney to comment on his behalf.

The Friends of Art on Pier 86 have a vision — to transform a 50-year-old iconic grain silo structure into a canvas for art. The group procured funding from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods to explore the feasibility of creatively activating the grain elevators without damaging the 50-year-old structure or the fragile ecosystem of Seattle’s working waterfront. Framework Cultural Placemaking took the role of project lead. Over the course of three months we examined this “canvas” from every angle, conducted community outreach meetings, and presented our findings to key stakeholders and elected officials. We were able to move the conversation from “is it possible?” to “what’s preferable?” The first artworks are set to be installed in late 2018.

Inform Yourself On Health Insurance Using These Tips
There are various varieties of medical insurance and you could purchase it from various companies. Help yourself out by considering different sources of information and keeping notes on your own findings. Always make sure that you understand the things you should know regarding a specific company as well as plans it offers.

When you consider registering for medical coverage via your employer, bear in mind your personal health status and therefore of your respective immediate family. This may bring you to purchasing insurance that has a cheaper premium should you anticipate no health concerns. Although it starts cheap, it’s risky if something unexpected happens to your overall health.

In case you are employed, confer with your boss about employee-based health care insurance. Or, if you’re under twenty-six, it is possible to remain on the insurance plan of the parents.
To maintain your medical coverage affordable, inquire as to whether or perhaps not your employer has a wellness program you may be involved in. A great deal of employers have incentives when their employees get their lifestyles and health assessed. Joining certain fitness programs may help your enterprise pay less because of its insurance policy coverage.
Open enrollment is a time for you to assess your health care needs. Life changes quickly and today’s coverage might not provide what you need because of adding anyone to your household.
Be sure you make any necessary alterations in your vision and dental plans during open enrollment also.
Vision insurance makess sense for your household, particularly when anyone already has issues with vision, or eye problems run with your family. Coverage could include your physical exams along with portions of the price for spectacles and contacts. There is no need to have vision insurance, and several choose to spend less by not buying this coverage.
Look at the prescription coverage yearly. Sometimes health insurers change the medications they are going to cover, so annually if you re-enroll, look at the terms carefully. You will want to consider switching providers if your current one yanks your medications off the approved list.
Health insurance is great for conserving money on taxes! Not every person is aware that premiums are deductions. The cash you spend for deductibles, visits or prescriptions that aren’t covered with insurance may also be deductible. Have the advice of your tax accountant if you are unsure about which expenses are deductible.
Expect that there will be loopholes in virtually any health care insurance policy. Look at the policy through and through, so you know what it can do and doesn’t cover. Expect to spend away from your pocket for instances that are not covered, like certain procedures or medications.

Sunoco LP’s SUN units have declined nearly 2% since May 6, even though the partnership reported strong quarterly results. Investors might be concerned about the rising commodity prices and negative impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, motor fuel gross profit per gallon decreased for the first quarter even though economic activities are rapidly recovering.
The partnership reported first-quarter 2021 earnings of $1.60 per unit, significantly beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 69 cents. It reported an adjusted loss of $1.78 per unit in the year-ago quarter.
Quarterly revenues of the partnership totaled $3,471 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,963 million. Moreover, the figure increased from $3,272 million a year ago.
The strong quarterly results were owing to reduced total operating expenses.
Sunoco LP Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Sunoco LP price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Sunoco LP Quote
The partnership reports financial statements through two reportable segments — Fuel Distribution and Marketing, and All Other.
Fuel Distribution and Marketing: Total gross profit from the segment increased to $317 million from $35 million in the comparable period of 2020, primarily due to higher motor fuel sales.
All Other: This unit reported gross profit of $34 million compared with $73 million in the comparable period of 2020. The year-over-year decline can be attributed to lower non-motor fuel sales and motor fuel sales.
In terms of volumes, the partnership sold 1.76 billion gallons of fuel in the reported quarter, down 7.5% year over year owing to the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, motor fuel gross profit per gallon was recorded at 10.3 cents for the quarter versus the year-ago level of 13.1 cents.
For the quarter ended Mar 31, 2021, Sunoco declared a quarterly cash distribution of 82.55 cents per unit or $3.3020 on an annualized basis. Markedly, this distribution was flat on a sequential basis. Trailing 12-month cash coverage was 1.35X.
Adjusted distributable cash flow was $108 million for the first quarter, reflecting a decline from the year-ago quarter’s $159 million.
Expenses & Capital Expenditure
Total cost of sales and operating expenses for the reported quarter decreased to $3,267 million from $3,354 million a year ago.
The partnership incurred gross capital expenditure of $18 million for the quarter under review, comprising $13 million in growth capital and $5 million of maintenance capital.
As of Mar 31, 2021, Sunoco had cash and cash equivalents of $95 million. At first quarter-end, it had net long-term debt of $2,680 million, down from $3,106 million at fourth quarter-end. It had a long-term debt to capitalization of 81.4%.
The partnership expects 2021 maintenance capital to be $45 million. Growth capital expenditure for the year is expected at $150 million, reflecting a rise from the previous guidance of $120 million, primarily due to the Brownsville terminal addition. It anticipates full-year 2021 adjusted EBITDA within $725-$765 million. In 2020, the metric was recorded at $739 million. Importantly, it expects operating expenses within $440-$450 million for 2021.
Moreover, the firm expects fuel volumes for the year within 7.52-7.75 billion gallons, indicating a rise from the 2020 level of 7.09 billion gallons. Fuel margins will likely be in the range of 11-12 cents per gallon. The same in 2020 was 11.9 cents per gallon.

Following on from our introduction to saltwater aquariums this segment is created to provide you with some thought of the common saltwater aquarium set up.
The sort of saltwater aquarium setup you end up picking is dependent upon a few components. For example, the types of species you desire to stock, the room you’ve accessible, and your budget. Generally you may need to purchase the biggest saltwater aquarium install you’ll be able to afford that may fit nicely into your residing atmosphere.
That is so that your fish along with other animals can have probably the most comfort achievable as they grow. The fish as well as other invertebrates which you decide on to stock your tank with need to have sufficient room to swim and grow in and sufficient oxygen to survive. Whenever you opt for a saltwater aquarium install don’t forget that these two aspects are determined mainly by the size in the tank.
So let’s talk concerning the oxygen component of your saltwater aquarium install. The level of oxygen inside the drinking water is connected to the tanks spot location. This means the quantity of place about the tank’s surface that may be exposed for the air. The higher the surface spot of the saltwater aquarium set up, the more room there is certainly for exchange of oxygen to occur at the spot.
The more oxygen that’s allowed to enter the tank and the a lot more dangerous gases like carbon dioxide are authorized to leave the healthier your saltwater aquarium setup will likely be. The oxygen written content of the normal water is usually influenced by its temperature. In general, the warmer the normal water, the lower the oxygen articles will be.
Most marine species from the tropics like drinking water which is 75 degrees or greater so it indicates that less oxygen is planning to be available to them. This can be when it becomes essential to increase the surface from the tank by creating confident your saltwater aquarium set up is as large as probable.
How do you do this? There is certainly no usual saltwater aquarium install. Marine tanks are available in a variety of shapes and dimension, but it’s the shape on the tank, not its volume that influences surface area spot. It indicates that even wherever two tanks have identical volumes they might not hold the same surface region depending on their shape. A saltwater aquarium setup which is tall and slender won’t get a great rate of gas exchange. An perfect style would be one particular that’s short and wide.
The moment you’ve chosen your tank its time to start considering about its residents. Needless to say the size of your respective tank is going to dictate how a lot of fish and invertebrates it can house. The main point to steer clear of as part of your saltwater aquarium setup is overcrowding. As well many inhabitants and your tank’s filtration system will likely be overloaded. Fish living in cramped conditions come to be stressed and this can lead to illness and death.
You can calculate how a lot of fish your saltwater aquarium run will hold by stocking a single inch of fish per four gallons of drinking water for a time period of six months. Following this time period enhance the quantity of fish slowly to one particular inch per two gallons. It indicates that a 40 gallon aquarium must not contain a lot more than 10 inches of fish for that 1st six months.
So, one example is, you might opt for 1 3-inch queen angel, two 1-inch clownfish, a single 2-inch regal tang, a single 1-inch bicolor blenny and two 1-inch Beau Gregory’s. After the six month period of time is over you could increase the total number of inches with your saltwater aquarium setup to 20.
Of course, your fish are heading to grow so you have to adjust for your changing measurements of one’s fish. The shape of this fish can also be essential. If your fish are most likely for being within the heavy side you’ll have to have to stick on the low end with the capacity of one’s saltwater aquarium setup.
A saltwater aquarium run will cost you time and dollars so accept this and do not skimp. Even if you devote considerable time and effort to a modest tank you are able to nevertheless encounter problems. If you select the wrong one initially you may almost certainly find yourself having to invest in an additional a single and this might be discouraging. In short, if you ever don’t have the dollars to buy a tank that’s a minimum of 30 gallons, really do not invest any cash at all.
When you select a saltwater aquarium run you’ll find quite a few choices. It is possible to select from glass and acrylic and also you can even get reef-ready styles complete with pre-drilled holes for equipment and plumbing. Glass tanks sealed with silicon rubber cement are a frequent alternative. Rectangle designs are well-known but they can be also discovered in octagon and hexagon. They can be non-toxic and do not scratch effortlessly.
The downside to a glass saltwater aquarium run is that these are heavy. This implies that big tanks will have really thick glass. Attempt to locate 1 using a plastic frame that could make the tank far more stable. Plated glass is shatterproof but not as strong as tempered.
An acrylic saltwater aquarium startup is molded with number of seams so they tend to be transparent. On the other hand your view may perhaps nonetheless be distorted on the corners. Acrylic tanks aren’t as heavy as glass and so come in a wider wide variety of shapes and sizes. Acrylic can also be stronger than glass. On the downside acrylic tanks can get scratched and are more expensive than glass. These are quickly scratched by algae scrapers and decorations. It really is possible to buff these marks out which has a particular kit.
Whichever saltwater aquarium setup you end up picking be sure it presents a wholesome surroundings for the fish. You also need to have to make sure that you just can afford to maintain it adequately and that it suits your way of life and accessible time. As soon as you might have almost everything set up correctly you is going to be ready to appreciate the colorful antics and designs of your fishy buddies, corals and other invertebrates. Get pleasure from the amazing globe of this saltwater aquarium!

In Progress-Unreal Engine 4 Park Scene
I recently began creating this park scene using Unreal Engine 4, 3D Studio Max, and Substance Designer. It's my first full project using either Unreal 4 or Substance Designer, and it's been a terrific learning experience thus far. I modeled all of the assets in 3Ds Max (except for the trees and foliage-those were downloaded), and created nearly all of the materials in Substance Designer.
There are many things that are still in progress here. For one thing, I'm going to spend more time adding details to the materials in order to make them look a bit more weathered and realistic. This is especially true for the ground areas, such as the basketball court asphalt and the floor underneath the playset. Clearly the landscape is much larger than the area I've developed so far. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to fill that space or simply clear it out and leave the focus on the playset and basketball court areas.


The UCI Bear Mountain Canada Cup XC is back, with a better race course, more UCI points, and more prize money.

July 25, 2023
I am always on the lookout for a good Creation story and regularly read them on websites. Sadly, many are far from stories and read more like a timeline.
Creation stories are often called Origin stories. In my latest book Magnetic Stories I write about the five types of stories organisations should share; Culture, Customer, Community, Challenge and Creation.
I could have used the title Origin but as all the other words started with C, I went for Creation. I suggest that a Creation story should be how a company started or how a product or service started. One example I give in the book is about the creation story of Barbie as opposed to Mattel. But more on the Barbie story next time (especially in the wake of Barbiemania with the release of the new Barbie movie last week).
I came across a good creation story while on holidays in Cambridge. We were looking for some places to eat and drink when I found the Pint Shop. I’ve included the creation story from their website below. I would rate this as one of the better creation stories I have come across.
“The original ‘Beer Houses’ or ‘Tom and Jerry Shops’ as they became known, are viewed by many as the birthplace of today’s pub. At this point in time beer was a rich man’s drink because of its high tax levels. The poor drank gin and lots of it, mostly in illegal gin shops.
Then in 1830, in an attempt to reduce public drunkenness, improve the health of the nation and encourage free trade, The Beer Act was passed. The act allowed anyone that paid a small fee to brew beer and sell it in their home, Beer Houses were born. It even allowed a low ABV beer, called Table Beer to be brewed for children, women and servants as the tap water was so unsafe!
In early 2013 we found an empty grade two listed office building in the centre of Cambridge and fell in love with it. The building dates from 1830 and was once a house (E.M.Forster once lived there). It felt like the perfect place to open our very first Pint Shop. 10 months later in November 2013 we poured our very first beer…”
Now that is a good creation story and let me tell you why I rate this so highly.
My only suggestion is to add an additional line about their passion for beer and gin alongside their love of the building.
So, well done Pint Shop and if you come across a good creation story, I would love to hear about it.
The photo shows the first two gins we tried (they have over 70). I can testify they also do a brilliant Limoncello and Steve tried out a couple of the 20 plus beers on tap.

There were two major marathons this weekend - Chicago and Victoria. And we had BVH representation in both. Don King and Jody Draude were in Chicago and Darcy Bell was in Victoria. And I'm pleased to report that consistency was our key as all three finished with times of either 2:37 or 2:38.
Arguably the best performance of the day was Jody's. He watched Don fly out of the blocks and ease through half way in 74 minutes while he took a much more cautious 79 first half approach. At that time, as temperatures soared, Jody gradually picked up the pace and carried out an amazing negative split, catching Don in the last mile and beating him by 12 seconds. Jody was 4th overall masters athlete and Don was 6th. Great running.
Darcy went with the "cheaper version of Boston", heading West to the island. A 76 first half saw Darcy cruise home in 2:38. Slightly slower than he was expecting but a very decent run regardless.
Good running out there guys!!
Don't forget relay weekend next weekend - Ekiden on Saturday and Confederation Park on Sunday...

As the saying goes, it’s not what you said but how you make them feel. Being more conscientious of your delivery can improve communication with patients, staff, and colleagues.
When you interact with others (staff, patients, colleagues, and family), how do you make people feel? Do they feel you have their best interest at heart?
While your medical knowledge and expertise are necessary ingredients to your success as a physician, how you interact with others is a critical but often overlooked factor. That’s because how we make people feel directly impacts the outcome of those interactions. It’s important to focus on mitigating threat that can cause people to distance themselves physically or emotionally and maximizing reward.
Many of my past articles have focused on the importance of understanding some basic brain dynamics and translating that into practical behaviors and communication strategies. Now let’s turn that into practice.
CONNECT© is a brain-based model I developed to help my clients incorporate brain friendly strategies into everyday interactions. The CONNECT model shows how to communicate in a way that creates a reward state through the release of chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. When people feel threatened, their amygdala-the part of the brain responsible for the fight or flight response-is activated. The more threatened people feel, the less they are able to leverage their pre-frontal cortex, and the more avoidant they become.
Here are seven ways to improve interactions with others.
C = Consistency. Predictability is something the brain craves. When the brain encounters something it is has expected, it is very rewarding. Change is inherently threatening to the brain, so be mindful of providing people with adequate information and lead time so they can be better prepared. Be clear on expectations so people know what you want and/or are asking of them.
O = Ownership. Being told what to do triggers a negative response. But if people feel they have a choice and that they are given some autonomy, they can be motivated to act. Find opportunities to let others feel a sense of control. For example, let them decide how to do something or make a decision. Tell people more of the what than the how.
N = Novelty. While change is inherently threatening and boredom shuts down creativity and motivation, a state of curiosity is rewarding. Novelty and challenge create a reward state in the brain that causes people to feel intrinsically motivated, making it more likely that they will want to achieve their goals. Interestingly, our brains like to fill in gaps. We can help create a state of curiosity if we provide partial positive information, such as: “Did you know there are steps you can take to improve your blood pressure?” Asking open-ended questions is another way to encourage others to consider possibilities.
N = Need to Know. When people understand the meaning, purpose, and/or significance of their actions, they become more rewarding. The brain searches for meaning every time we encounter something new. If you ask patients or staff to do something but they don’t understand the “why,” that can trigger a threat state. Helping them establish challenging and meaningful goals they can see themselves making progress towards is highly motivating. It is a critical factor affecting job satisfaction and positive affect at work.
E = Equity. Not everything is equal, but perceptions of inequity trigger the disgust center of the brain and make it difficult to focus. People want to feel that things are fair-providing explanations about how you arrive at decisions and holding everyone to the same expectations goes a long towards creating perceptions of equity. Additionally, when people feel that their social “status” is less than that of others (we frequently, and often unconsciously, compare ourselves to others), it can trigger a threat response. Be careful to avoid making comparisons between people, such as staff.
C = Confidence. Feeling a sense of competency and capability enhances self-esteem, which creates a reward state in the brain. Situations that lower our self-esteem and confidence trigger a threat response. Help boost self-confidence by providing adequate training and instruction, by acknowledging what people are doing right (rather than focusing more on what they do wrong), and asking what they need to be successful.
T= Trust. As part of its focus on survival, the brain has evolved to quickly form in-groups (you are part of my tribe and therefore, you are safe) and out-groups (you represent a potential danger). These in and out-groups are formed easily and can lead to problems with collaboration and cooperation. One of the best ways to create a greater sense of in-group (trust) is to help people connect to their common goal (such as providing the best care we can for our patients).
