For the first time since abrogating Article 370, the Home Ministry has decided to withdraw 10,000 Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel who were flown to Kashmir ahead of August 5, 2019. But the move has not pleased the local political parties who termed the troop withdrawal ‘cosmetic measure’.
The withdrawal of 10,000 CAPF personnel comes days after the J&K administration, under Supreme Court directions, restored 4G mobile internet services in two districts on trial basis.
“It won’t change anything in Kashmir. When a state has been scrapped, its political rights snatched and it is reduced to the level of Panchayat and municipality, such measures hardly mean anything,” says former minister and senior PDP leader Naeem Akhtar. He adds, “When the state is free to use all that is provided by the book including AFSPA, NIA, CBI, PSA, and what is not even provided in the book like thousands of illegal detentions and unacknowledged detentions, this cosmetic withdrawal would not impress anyone.”
Tanvir Sadiq, National Conference leader and political advisor to former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, said the withdrawal order is not an indication of the sign of improvement in Jammu and Kashmir. “We see this as a normal movement of troops rather than a sign of an improved security environment. It’s a smokescreen. 4G continues to remain banned and leaders, political activists continue to remain detained. Media is being controlled and even restricted. Every walk of life is disturbed -- there is no normalcy when it comes to people. If someone is trying to give a perception that by this movement things are normalising, then I’m sorry it’s just a guilt-induced hogwash,” he said.
Even the BJP in Kashmir termed the withdrawal of the forces and a continuous process. The BJP spokesperson Arun Gupta said the withdrawal happened earlier also -- in May and December. “It is par the need, wherever they are needed, in the country, they are deployed there,” he said. “Kashmir is extremely peaceful and people are slowly getting into a routine. Nothing will be done unless it is required to be done,” he said.
According to the government, nearly 400 additional companies of security forces were deployed across J&K ahead of the revocation of Article 370 and Article 35A on August 5. However, the human rights groups say the number of troops and security forces deployed was far higher than the government claims.
Of 100 companies moving out, 40 companies are of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), 20 each from Border Security Force (BSF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).
The MHA in its order sent to advisor to the administration of J&K, commissioner secretary, administration J&K and director-general of Police J&K Dilbagh Singh, stated that it is to intimate that the deployed of Central Armed Forces in J&K has been further reviewed by the ministry. “It has been decided to withdraw 100 Companies of CAPFs with immediate effect from J&K and revert them back to their respective locations,” reads the MHA order.

With unsettling beauty and a quiet magic, award-winning poet Souvankham Thammavongsa's Cluster will awe and amaze.
PAT LOWTHER MEMORIAL AWARD FINALIST
Acclaimed poet Souvankham Thammavongsa returns with her fourth collection, a book about meaning. Meaning can sometimes blow up, crack something we had not seen, or darken what had been seen so clear to us. Meaning can happen with so little and go on to take so much from us. Meaning can sometimes take a long time to arrive, years even, if ever. And it's possible meaning does not mean, and that in itself could be meaningful. Whatever happens to meaning, it is always there. It means even when you don't want it. Every poem in this book looks at meaning and the ways in which it arrives, if at all.
Souvankham Thammavongsa is the author of three poetry books, Light (2013), winner of the Trillium Book Award for Poetry; Found (2007); and Small Arguments (2003), winner of the ReLit Award. Her writing has appeared in Harper's, Granta, Brick, Best American Non-Required Reading, and other places. She has been in residence at Yaddo and has performed her work at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. She was born in the Lao refugee camp in Nong Khai, Thailand, and was raised and educated in Toronto.
"[O]ne of the most striking voices to emerge in Canadian poetry in a generation." --The Walrus
“Souvankham Thammavongsa has established a reputation as one of Canada’s leading minimalists and technicians of negative space. Rather than being some index of repression, Thammavongsa’s pregnant silences in Cluster evoke the erasure of language and history, flagrant manipulations of the public record, and events that can only be approached obliquely. Her fragments provide a shelter for the reader to dream without fear or censure of what lies beyond the page.” --Quill & Quire
"A deep, searching dive into the ways we create meaning, personally and culturally—from how we see our relationships to how the financial sector operates—and an exploration of the values embedded in our perceptions. The poems often unfold as a series of quiet, simple observations that expand in import. This is particularly true of 'O,' a remarkable meditation that begins by contemplating the shape of the letter . . . and progresses through a series of associative leaps . . . to conclude by questioning the global political and economic order." --Toronto Star
“Here’s where poems become site/sight, where poems contract and expand the head-heart sense, that eighth sense alive in language: here’s another and another and another and another in Souvankham Thammavongsa’s Cluster. . . . her poems make fine work of the art of suggestion by rending, bolt by necessary bolt, the acute and the complex conditions in which language must do its work. Cluster hauls the detritus of years, offers us an otherwise of paths through family and loss and what is found in the eventides that flow from one time to another, in the thing that amounts to what we call ‘life.’” —Canisia Lubrin, Hamilton Review of Books

A violent protest ripped through the Langa area on Monday night and Tuesday morning, with people stoning cars, setting a local post office alight and damaging Metrorail equipment.
Residents vowed to shut the area down until housing and service delivery issues are dealt with.
Several sources said opportunistic criminal elements were also at play in the unfolding events.
Late on Monday evening, protesters organised the protest on Social Network, calling for residents to prevent people from going to school and work. The tense housing and service delivery protest is linked to the N2 Gateway housing project.
On Tuesday morning metro police, the SAPS, traffic authorities and community leaders tried to quell tensions before dispersing the growing crowd of about 1000 with stun grenades.
City of Cape Town traffic spokeswoman Maxine Jordaan said: “People are protesting in the Langa area.”
Mayco member for Safety and Security JP Smith said law enforcement were working hard to move the angry mob away from a library, which they also tried to torch.
Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut said the protest was sparked late on Monday night.
“Police members will remain in the area to maintain law and order until we are satisfied that the situation has been contained. Approximately 1 000 people are protesting and throwing stones at trains in attempt to prevent commuters from going to work. No one has been arrested as yet.”
Metrorail regional manager Richard Walker said that services into the Langa area had been suspended because residents were targeting trains.
Between Bontheuwel and Langa Stations several track boxes, signals and apparatus cases were extensively damaged. Obstructions were placed on railway tracks and set alight, disabling inbound and outbound traffic. Langa Station and PRASA official vehicles were also stoned.
Metrorail and police were monitoring the situation but commuters were advised to expect major delays. Repairs and replacement could take several days.
Walker condemned the destruction of state-owned assets, calling it shortsighted and self-defeating: “This is infrastructure expected to assist with the transport learners and workers tomorrow – innocent people are now being deprived of transport for a selfish agenda. “We call on investigative authorities to find the instigators and perpetrators of such incidents and to apply the law to its full extent”.

Savage, nightmarish monsters roam the Louisiana swamps, and you are part of a group of rugged bounty hunters bound to rid the world of their ghastly presence. Banish these creatures from our world, and you will be paid generously—and given the chance to buy more gruesome and powerful weapons. Fail, and death will strip you of both character and gear. Your experience, however, remains in your pool of hunters—called your Bloodline—always.
Hunt’s competitive, match-based gameplay mixes PvP and PvE elements to create a uniquely tense experience where your life, your character, and your gear are always on the line. At the beginning of each match, up to five teams of two set out to track their monstrous targets. Once they’ve found and defeated one of these they will receive a bounty—and instantly become a target for every other Hunter left on the map. If you don’t watch your back, you’ll find a knife in it, and your last memory will be of another team of Hunters walking away with your prize. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost you everything.
PROGRESSION: Even in death, you will be able to progress among the ranks of Hunters via your Bloodline. Though one character may die, their experience will be transferred to your Bloodline, where it can be applied your other Hunters. If you make it off of the map alive, you will be able to use the money and experience you earn to kit out new Hunters and prepare for the next match. If you die, you lose everything but your experience.
DARK SIGHT: Dark Sight allows Hunters to see into the veil between worlds, making that which cannot be seen by mortal eyes visible to those who have been initiated. Use Dark Sight when you are tracking monsters, and a ghostly light will guide you toward your next target. Dark Sight also marks players carrying a bounty, making them more vulnerable to ambush while trying to escape.

Since 2000, 207 Detroit projects have been funded at least in part through the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program. Those projects represent $696 million in investment, according to Laura Rose Ashlee, historian and communications liaison for the State Historic Preservation Office, which is a part of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
- The College For Creative Studies Argonaut Building: Funded by a combination of federal and state historic preservation tax credits, a direct investment of $154.8 million.
- The Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse: The Neighborhood Services Organization completed a renovation of the building in 2012, transforming the building that provides 155 housing units and supportive services for formerly homeless individuals. The NSO used federal historic preservation tax credits in addition to federal low income housing tax credits and HOME/Community Development Block Grant funds. In addition, the project received support from major foundations, including the Kresge Foundation and the McGregor Foundation. It represented a $50 million investment in Detroit.
- The Lofts at New Amsterdam (formerly the Graphic Arts Building), 41-47 Burroughs: Southfield-based Jonna Cos. teamed up with Detroit-based Zachary and Associates to develop the 52,000-square-foot Lofts at New Amsterdam. Work on the Graphic Arts building, which houses 39 units, was completed in October 2006. The project used a combination of federal and state historic preservation tax credits and represented a direct investment of $7.8 million in Detroit.
- The Oddfellows Building, 8701 W. Vernor: Salazar and Levin will tour the rehabilitated Odd Fellows Building this morning. It was renovated by the Southwest Detroit Business Association to be used for retail and office space. The project represented a direct investment of $4.5 million in Detroit.

AbstractIn integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing, particulate contamination from hundreds of processe steps is a major cause of yield loss. The removal of particles is typically achieved through liquid chemical formulations aided by a sound field in the MHz frequency range. When liquid is irradiated with megasonic waves, dissolved gases play an important role in particle removal and feature damage. To take the advantage of the beneficial effect of CO₂ (aq.), this thesis describes the development and optimization of a megasonic cleaning process using a chemical system containing NH₄OH and NH₄HCO₃ at an alkaline pH in which a specific amount of aqueous CO₂ can be maintained to minimize feature damage. In addition, certain etching effects at a slightly alkaline pH were supported for achieving high particle removal. Sonoluminescence (SL) data were collected from these cleaning solutions and correlated with the cleaning performance. The intensity of SL is believed to be a sensitive indicator of transient cavitation during megasonic irradiation, which is thought to be responsible for fragile feature damage. To further analyze the SL signal with respect to the emission from hydroxyl radicals, single-band filters were used to collect the SL signal in different wavelength ranges. The study of particle removal and feature damage was performed using a single-wafer cleaning tool, MegPie® (ProSys, Inc.), which provided acoustic irradiation at a frequency of 0.925 MHz. Commercially available SiO₂ slurry with 200 ± 20 nm particles was used for particle contamination. Particle removal was investigated on both blanket SiO₂ samples and patterned samples. Feature damage studies were conducted on patterned samples by examining the number of line breakages per unit area. By adjusting the pH in NH₄OH/NH₄HCO₃ solutions from 7.8 to 8.5, the amount of CO₂ (aq.) was varied. At a pH of 8.2 with ~ 320 ppm CO₂ (aq.) in the cleaning solution, a high particle removal efficiency was achieved (> 90%) at an acoustic power intensity of 1 W/cm² for an exposure time of 60 s, and the feature damage was reduced by > 50%. For SL signal analysis, band filters in the wavelength range of (i) 280 – 305.5 nm, (ii) 300 – 340 nm, (iii) 335 – 375 nm, and (iv) 374.5 – 397.5 nm were used to resolve the SL spectrum in these wavelength ranges. The filters were sandwiched, one at a time, between the optical window and the photomultiplier tube (PMT) in the Cavitation Threshold (CT) cell. Air-, Ar-, and CO₂-containing DI water (at pH 4.53 with ~ 90 ppm aqueous CO₂) was pumped through the cell at a flow rate of 130 ml/min. The acoustic power was ramped from 0.1 to 4 W/cm² at an acoustic frequency of 0.925 MHz. The SL signal intensity showed the highest value in the ranges of 300 – 340 and 335 – 375 nm in air- and Ar-saturated DI water, which is due to the emission from excited hydroxyl radicals. These results are consistent with an SL spectrum analysis performed using expensive optical set-ups. In CO₂-containing DI water, the SL signal intensity was suppressed by a factor of 100. The methodology reported in this work is simple, inexpensive, and capable of capturing SL spectral features due to hydroxyl radicals.

Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities Investigates Issues Relating to Net Metering, Energy Storage, and Forward Capacity Market Participation
On October 3, 2017, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) opened a new docket (D.P.U. 17-146) to investigate two issues: whether energy storage systems paired with net metering facilities are eligible for net metering and what should be done to clarify the rights of net metering facilities to participate in the Forward Capacity Market (“FCM”).
These issues have been percolating for years. In fact,… More
On September 23, DOER presented a straw proposal for the next phase of Massachusetts solar incentives. DOER’s ambitious proposal for a tariff-based program reflects a thoughtful development process and a laudable goal of crafting a program that is more efficient at promoting sustained solar deployment. There is plenty to like. But, DOER has bitten off quite a mouthful by proposing a structure that departs so dramatically from the SREC approach. … More

Light-induced structural transformations and optical nonlinearity in gallium nano-films and self-assembled nanoparticles
MacDonald, K.F., Fedotov, V.A., Stevens, G.C., Pochon, S., Emel'yanov, V.I., Brocklesby, W.S. and Zheludev, N.I. (2001) Light-induced structural transformations and optical nonlinearity in gallium nano-films and self-assembled nanoparticles. In, ICONO 2001: XVII International Conference on Coherent and Nonlinear Optics, Minsk, BY, 26 Jun - 01 Jul 2001.
Full text not available from this repository.
We report observation of an optical nonlinearity in gallium nano-particles resulting from a light-induced structural transfomlation in the metal which is known for its incredible polymorphism. A freshly cleaved single-mode optical fiber was put into a vacuum chamber and cooled to 100 K. The end of the fiber was exposed to a beam of gallium atoms, leading to the steady deposition of a gallium layer, thus forming a mirror made of just a few picograms of material. The gallium forms nano-particles by self-organization. These particles are relatively uniform in size, with a diameter typically between 80 and 200 nm, which depends on the thickness of the gallium film from which they formed

Yorkas Nyinning Building
- Western Australian Botanic Garden, Kings Park WA 6005, Australia
The Yorkas Nyinning building is located within the Western Australian Botanic Garden, near the corner of Lovekin Drive and Forrest Drive in Kings Park. Built in the early 1970's, and designed by Alex Doepel, the pavilion building is most often used for the delivery of environmental education programs for school children.
In 1979, the Sesquicentenary Women's Committee had a commemorative limestone wall built behind an apron stage on the site. The wall, with a bas-relief by sculptor Athanasios Kalamaras, commemorates the contribution of women to the development of Western Australia from infancy to maturity. First known as Minmarra Gun Gun, the name was changed to Yorkas Nyinning following a request by the local Nyoongar community. It translates to 'place where the spirits of women rest'.

Parts of Gauteng and NWest without water after pump station explodes
Residents in parts of Gauteng and the North West will be without water after the Rand Water Eikenhof Pumping station exploded on Monday afternoon.
"There was an explosion of an electrical transformer belonging to City Power. It affected Rand Water's normal operations," Rand Water spokesperson Justice Mohale said.
The incident happened around 13:00.
Mohale said it will affect water supply in parts of western Johannesburg, the West Rand, and Rustenburg in the North West.
City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena said emergency services were still fighting the fire.
"Inside the substation there is oil that is burning currently so it is not safe for our technicians to go inside. Once they have been given the green light we will be able to determine the cause of the fire," Mangena.
Mangena said no staff members were injured during the explosion.
Power outages were expected in Naturena, Kibler Park, Alveda, Rand Water, Eikenhof and Lougherin. The Johannesburg Prison is also affected.

Elio di Rupo’s diverse six-party government– known as the bow-tie coalition after his trademark neckwear — has been in government in Belgium for about six weeks. They’ve had a busy start, pulling together a budget at the last minute, having to take extra measures following a letter from the European Commission and generally getting the country’s act together after 541 days without a federal government.
What better time to start trash-talking the European Union, France and each other in the crossfire?
It all started with EU Commissioner Olli Rehn’s warning that Belgium might not comply with its promise to get its budget deficit under 3% of GDP this year, in line with the EU’s fiscal rules. Paul Magnette, the socialist Minister of Climate and Energy–and the only Belgian politician your correspondent has ever heard called a “total hottie” by a member of the Brussels diplomatic corps–wasn’t happy.
“The European Commission is preparing 15 years of recession for Europe. All the great economists are saying it,” Magnette told various Belgian media outlets. “The European Commission is wrong and the economic policy it is imposing on states is not the right one.”
He put the cherry on the cake – or rather the chocolate sauce on the waffle—by saying the commission “has no democratic legitimacy” to tell countries how to conduct economic policy, and that the European Central Bank and European Investment Bank should help countries “finance their historic debt at lower costs.”
Smooth. Reprimands for Mr. Magnette’s outburst came from Mr. di Rupo, who according to Le Soir, recalled the “long pro-European tradition of Belgium, and our interest in maintaining it.” Steven Vanackere, finance minister, gave this interview to La Libre Belgique: “We all have an interest in an serious, grown-up dialogue with the European Commission,” he said according to the paper. “Paul Magnette says the commission should be more restrained… I think everyone should demonstrate their restraint.”
Next, Bart de Wever – whose N-VA Flemish separatist party won the most votes in the last election, but isn’t in government – said in De Morgen that Magnette’s comments were “ really stupid” and “the arrogance of the socialist party thinking the whole of Europe is wrong is unacceptable.”
Why stop there though? As any seasoned arguer knows, sometimes it makes sense to drag in the neighbours.
Magnificently-named budget minister Melchior Wathelet joined in saying that the EU should be as strict with France as it has been with Belgium.
“What I want to see from the commission, is not just limiting themselves to Belgium,” AFP cited him as saying on RTBF radio. “Let me take, at random, a country in full presidential campaigning mode, such as France, where the budgetary outlook is much worse than Belgium.
“They’re well over 80% of debt,” pointed out Mr. Wathelet (Belgium’s debt-to-GDP ratio hovers just under 100%), and “they’ve got even more optimistic growth figures than Belgium,” he added.
Then, Didier Reynders, who should perhaps be made ‘Minister for Facebook’ as he posts on it so much (his actual portfolio is foreign affairs) updated his news feed with his RTL info interview said that while Mr. Magnette “is right to say what he thinks… what he thinks in this case is completely unacceptable.”
According to Wikipedia, the presence of the EU institutions benefits Brussels to tune of €2 billion a year. If only they could monetize drama…


WASHINGTON — Rep. Judy Chu (D-El Monte), chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, sent the following message to her supporters on Monday. She is the aunt of Lance Corporal Harry Lew, 21, who took his own life while serving in Afghanistan last year.
I have distressing news to tell you. On Friday, the trial of the third perpetrator of hazing against my nephew Harry Lew concluded. Tragically, Lance Corporal Carlos Orozco was found not guilty.
This not-guilty verdict is the second assault on Harry and his family. Orozco took matters into his own hands, joining his fellow Marine in assaulting Harry for 3½ hours, but now, he gets to go free, and Harry is dead.
It is a travesty of justice and it is outrageous. The verdict implies that Harry’s life is not even worth the smallest of punishment, not even a one-dollar fine, not even one pushup, not even the carrying of one sandbag. Even a jaywalker would get greater punishment.
Three Marines were charged in the crime. The not-guilty verdicts of Orozco and (Sgt. Benjamin) Johns, and the minimal punishment for (Lance Corporal Jacob) Jacoby show that justice cannot be obtained in the military system. In a military trial, the “jury of the peers” is comprised entirely of Marines, who think that hazing is normal and even expected. Therefore, unless the community demands change, nothing will happen to these Marines who assault other Marines, even though they are supposed to be fighting on the same side of the war.
No military family should have had to endure the injustice of these verdicts. The Lew family lost their only son, and the perpetrators can go on with their lives as though nothing ever happened, and continue to climb the career ranks in the Marines.
In the last several weeks, I’ve received such an outpouring of support from all of you, and I truly appreciate it. Many of you have expressed outrage and are appalled by the outcome of Harry’s case. Many of you have asked what you can do to change the culture of military hazing, and make sure no other families have to endure such a tragedy.
Here’s how. Join me in standing up against military hazing and support a zero tolerance policy by signing this petition to Secretary (Leon) Panetta and the Department of Defense right now:
And please spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers. The more signatures we have, then the more our voices will be heard, and the stronger impact we will make.
In the meanwhile, we are pressing for congressional hearings on military hazing. The responses to our requests have been promising, but it is important for your congressmembers to hear from you as to the importance of these hearings.
Together, we can make sure other military families don’t ever have to suffer from such devastating losses. We can make sure that the deaths of Harry Lew and Danny Chen were not in vain. We can honor their memories by pressuring the military to take real steps to reform their anti-hazing policies.
We must put a stop to military hazing.

from a reader —
“I just finished reading Opal and I want to tell you that we are so impressed with your skill and sensitivity. You are an outstanding story-teller!! I don’t know whether you were intentional but the variety of the tales you told certainly demonstrated the breadth of your writing ability–from quiet drama to thriller and, even, comedy.”
“OPAL is not soon to be forgotten for it delights readers with a character so perfectly described and understood that one finishes the stories and hungers for sequels.”
If you have a group that would like to invite Diane Thomas-Plunk to speak, please contact her through a comment on this page. Be sure to provide your email address and the type of group.
Opal Pratt now has her own facebook page — Opal – the Book. Today, there is a short quiz, but she’s willing (after my encouragement) to answer some of your questions about the contents and characters of her book. Take a look, ask a question and give her a like.
When my book, Opal, is released in approximately a month, this will be the image of Opal’s house that will appear on the cover. Opal is a collection of related short stories set in 1950s rural Mississippi. You’ll recognize the features of this house as you read the stories. By the way, the window you see on the left of the door once belonged to her parents.
The painting of the house was created by artist John Robinette. Click the ‘fiction’ tab to the left to read some Opal stories.
Mike & I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Published in Deep South Magazine
Opal Pratt didn’t recognize the old pickup truck that turned off the main road onto the dusty lane to her house. She was sitting in the front porch rocker as was her late afternoon habit, particularly now when the Mississippi summer settled in and she could catch a breeze out there.
A tall, lanky man stepped out of the truck when it stopped near her porch. There was a familiar look to him, but Opal couldn’t place him. He approached the bottom porch step and tipped his hat.
“I’m Lemuel Parker, and I come to court.”
Turning, twisting, and wrenching away,
Dissolve, then reappear.
Not in Chalot or a viper pit,
Your room, top floor, in the rear.
A place bereft of childish joy,
A place that’s filled with tears.
Where ice cream tastes like castor oil
And probity disappears.
Your very private kinder-hell,
A too-exclusive club.
No dogs or girls may enter here.
No laughter and no love.
You’ve built a wall with anger boards
Nailed in place with fear.
You slip inside that secret space
And then you disappear.
I climb the stairs.
I speak your name.
But no trace can I find
Of the child I once called happiness,
Of the boy who once was mine.

Finally Realize the Dream of Being Your Own Boss
If the dream of being your own boss has thus far been unrealized, then buying into a franchise may be an option you should consider. Doing so offers you the freedom to plot your own professional course while enjoying the association with an already established organization. However, becoming a franchisee is not without its obstacles. Some franchisers require that you purchase franchise rights; others mandate that you already have adequate resources in place to support your new business. Either way, you need money. The Franchise Financing programs we recommend can provide you with that.
Financial Flexibility for Franchisees
This program is primarily aimed at first-time franchisees such as yourself who simply need the financial backing to satisfy franchisor demands. The money that you secure through us can be used for any number of purposes, including:
- Building a new commercial location

Transform your circular saw into a high-performance, track-guided cutting tool. Make straight, accurate, splinter-free cuts with the Kreg Accu-Cut™ Circular Saw Track Guide. It rips, crosscuts, and makes angled cuts up to 50" long in plywood, MDF, and other large panels with super-simple setup, precise accuracy, and amazing control.
Circular saws don’t have effective guides that keep them moving straight along a cut line. Plus, it can be difficult to see the blade’s cutting path. Together, these things make it challenging to keep a saw on your desired cut. Circular saws also often cause splintering of face veneers. The Accu-Cut solves these problems. It is portable, too, so you can take your saw to the workpiece and cut with precision, rather than having to handle heavy sheets on a table saw.
The Accu-Cut guides your circular saw along an aluminum track that keeps the saw moving in a straight line easily. The Accu-Cut design makes it simple to set up by just aligning the track with your cut line. No clamps are required to hold the track in place thanks to dual guide strips. They feature an anti-slip coating to prevent slipping, and an anti-chip feature to prevent splintered cuts.
The Accu-Cut is easy and intuitive for a novice to use, but robust enough for professionals. Because it eliminates the need to keep the saw straight and manually guide the saw along a cut line, the Accu-Cut is ideal for less-experienced users. Accu-Cut also makes professionals faster and more productive because it makes a variety of cuts quickly and easily in the shop and on the job site.
Note: The Accu-Cut™ is designed for use with portable circular saws that have a metal upper blade guard. When paired with the Accu-Cut, a saw with a plastic upper blade guard may allow deflection between the blade and the base plate resulting in poor cut quality. Do not use a saw with a plastic upper blade guard with the Accu-Cut.

Virtual Reality is a big deal in our house as our techie teenagers are awaiting for the Oculus Rift to come out. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing my own virtual reality encounter. I experienced a revolutionary new product created by MindFitness which combines virtual reality and meditation, as well as hypnotism which allows people to self-help and self-heal.
Mind Fitness Lab, the creators of the Bosurgi Method System, sent me a box of VR Goggles which my Samsung Galaxy phone fit into perfectly. I simply downloaded the app on my phone and began. You sit comfortably and are given instructions before the meditations begin.
The virtual reality is a complete 360 experience. It is recommended that you sit in a comfortable position. It took me a few minutes to get used to it as I have not really experienced virtual reality before. I did find the sessions extremely relaxing and I have to say I believe that improved my clarity and focus as well. I think that a number of people, especially young adults, will enjoy the total immersion experience. I too found that I was less distracted after this process, in comparison to the traditional methods of meditation and hypnotism.
I also saw that the founder Luca Bosurgi had some pretty impressive testimonials on the website, showing that many mental health professionals are also on board as well.
The Bosurgi Method™ 10 Core Meditations include the following modules:
- Release anxiety and fears I
- Release anxiety and fears II
- Release dependency behaviors I
- Release dependency behaviors II
- Release dependency behaviors III
- Build framework master behavior of independence I
- Build framework master behavior of independence II
- Release self-judgment, shame, guilt and regret (self-forgiveness)
- Release judgment, blame, resentment, anger and pain (forgiveness others)
- Release anxiety and fears III

On Friday, Eureka High School principal Rick Jordan introduced Jason White as the school's new head varsity football coach.
"We're very excited to have someone with this much local experience and local background, and I know that our players are very excited that Mr. Jason White is coming to join the program," said Jordan.
White, who will also be a physical education teacher, is well-known to fans and followers of North Coast football.
He played his prep football at Fort Bragg High School, and then in college at Humboldt State.
White started his coaching career as assistant coach -- both as offensive line coach and as offensive coordinator -- at College of the Redwoods for 10 years. He then moved up to Humboldt State, where he was an assistant coach five years.
Following that, White held the position of athletic director at St. Bernard's High School for five years. Three years ago he was the Crusaders' defensive coordinator, and for the past two years he was the head varsity football coach. In each of those two seasons, White guided St. B's to the semifinals of the North Coast Section Division 5 playoffs.
"It was a very tough decision to move from St. Bernard's to Eureka because St. Bernard's has treated me so well the last five years," said White. "The student-athletes there have been great to deal with, and we've had quite a bit of success, so it was not an easy decision.
"I'm definitely very pleased to take this opportunity, it's a great opportunity for my family, for my career, and for the players at Eureka High School. We want to generate excitement for this community, for the school and for the players."
White takes over a program that has not won the Big 5 in three years, and failed to make the playoffs last season.
He acknowledged the Eureka head coaching job comes with big expectations. His primary objectives are to win the league title and win a section title.
"The first thing that I've done is make sure I've assembled a staff. You can't do things alone as a head football coach, there's just too many things going on," said White.
He will call offensive plays for the Loggers, but will bring back some coaches from last year's Eureka staff. Travis Anderson (defensive coordinator) and James Lee (defensive line) will come with White from St. Bernard's.
This season, the Big 5 will return to its double-round robin format, so the Loggers will play two games against Arcata (defending champ), Del Norte, Fortuna (2011 champ) and McKinleyville.
Eureka opens its season with D-3 power Casa Grande, and is finalizing a game with another non-conference opponent. The Loggers will not play Shasta or Ukiah this season.

Charlie Sheen is denying he was aware of his HIV-positive status around the time he was dating porn star Bree Olson.
Immediately after Sheen announced that he was HIV positive on the Today show, Olsen made an appearance on The Howard Stern Show yesterday and said that Charlie never told her about his HIV diagnosis, refuting his claims that he informed all of his partners.
But sources close to Sheen tell TMZ that Bree Olsen is a liar, and she was not living with Charlie when he was first diagnosed. Furthermore, Sheen didn’t know he was HIV positive until weeks after Bree broke things off with him.
We’re told Sheen is adamant … he didn’t KNOW he’d contracted the virus until AFTER he got back from his 20-city tour, which ended on May 3, 2011. Olson famously broke up with Charlie nearly two weeks prior to that date via text message.
Yes, it’s a short time span — but our sources say the important part is Charlie had absolutely zero knowledge he was HIV positive while with Bree.
Olson and Charlie started dating back in 2011 when she and Natalie Kenly (both known as the Goddesses) moved in his L.A. home during the time of his public meltdown and firing from “Two and a Half Men.”
For her part, Olsen says she’s been tested for HIV and the results came back negative.

Equitable Health Care
People of Hispanic/Latino origin make up over 50 million inhabitants of the United States (Alexandria, 2014). This fastest-growing minority group included 48.4 million in 2009 while five years earlier there were 41.3 million Hispanic people in the country (Myrtle, 2012). According to the US Census Bureau, Hispanics comprise individuals with various identities, those of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or other Spanish origin or culture (Myrtle, 2012).
In 2010, it provided the following figures concerning the U.S. Hispanic/Latino population diversity: 63.0% Mexicans, 9.2% Puerto Ricans, 7.9% Central Americans, 5.5% South Americans, 3.5% Cubans, and 2.8% Dominicans (Schneiderman et al., 2014). Myrtle (2012) adds that there are individuals of various races among Hispanics, such as Black, White, American Indian, and Asian.
In spite of their long history in the United States and struggle for civil rights, all of them, even White, are considered “people of color” and experience discrimination, misperceptions, and stereotypes due to such factors as ethnicity, race, skin color, and minority group status (Myrtle, 2012). The current position statement aims to advocate for accessible health care for the Hispanic population, particularly in the issue of diabetes disparity.
Hispanic Community Health Study
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute initiated the Hispanic Community Health Study to reveal the chronic diseases (like diabetes) among these minority populations (Schneiderman et al., 2014). First of all, it should be noted that diabetes belongs to serious, dangerous diseases with grave complications and the great possibility of premature death. It is caused by defects in insulin production, which can lead to a high level of blood glucose (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.).
At the same time, it is important to admit that one can and has to take measures aimed at preventing complications and keeping the disease under control. It is important to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The first one (5%-10% of cases), which is likely to begin at an early age, is associated with severe immune system disorders and can lead to a coma if untreated. Among the symptoms, one can name: “increased thirst and urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and extreme fatigue” (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.).
As a matter of fact, 90%-95% of all the cases are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which ensues when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it. Typically, it develops after the age of 40 but is more and more encountered among children and adolescents. The symptoms may be similar to type 1 diabetes but not so noticeable (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.).
What is significant to underline, is that being a member of the Hispanic minority group is among the factors, which are considered to be favorable for developing type 2 diabetes. These conditions include inheritance, obesity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol level, passive lifestyle, blood vessel problems, and others (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.).
National Alliance for Hispanic Health
The health disparity under analysis has a significant impact on the Hispanic population. At present, there is a striking level of diabetes prevalence among people of Latino origin. Furthermore, in the future, the number of affected Hispanic population will still grow due to the correlation between the growth of a general number of this minority group and the number of elderly people. The number of people aged 65+ is more likely to develop diabetes, and so, the Hispanics of 65 and older are predicted to grow from 6% to 18% (three times as much) by 2050 (National Alliance for Hispanic Health, n.d.).
This growth rate is faster than for any other racial or ethnic group of older people. Thus, Hispanics encounter health care barriers that contribute to the gravity of the situation with the prevention and treatment of the disease. For instance, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality detected that Hispanics had issues associated with the access and provision of diabetes care, language, and financial barriers (National Alliance for Hispanic Health, n.d.).
Consequently, the rates of diabetes morbidity and mortality grew, as well as its possible complications. In addition, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health claims that Hispanics require more assistance in the identification of their risk status along with interventions concerning lifestyle and access screening (National Alliance for Hispanic Health, n.d.).
Diabetes in the United States
On the whole, diabetes in the United States is one of the diseases with the highest risk of deaths and disabilities. Thus, the National Diabetes Education Program mentions the expenditure of $174 on the treatment of diabetes per year (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.). Furthermore, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that in 2007, 24 million Americans (8%) had this disorder, and 57 million had pre-diabetes (National Alliance for Hispanic Health, n.d.).
However, some ethnic communities have a higher risk of developing diabetes. Here belong Hispanic populations who tend to acquire the disease twice as often as non-Hispanic whites and experience higher mortality. The reasons for a more considerable prevalence of diabetes among the people of this ethnicity are more frequent cases of obesity, lower rates of physical exercise, higher cholesterol levels, poorer eating habits, and family history (National Alliance for Hispanic Health, n.d.).
Along with that fact, Alexandria (2014) points out that the Hispanic Community Health Study demonstrated the presence of diversity among Latinos in the prevalence of diabetes. For instance, out of the total 16.9% of the whole group, Mexicans have 18.3 while South Americans – 10.2%. The study also showed that 18.1% of Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, 17.7% of Central Americans, and 13.4 of Cubans had type 2 diabetes.
Moreover, the study revealed a low level of health insurance, diabetes awareness, and disease control among the Latino minority group. Specifically, the participants had poor glycemic control (52%) along with lacking health insurance (47.9%). The disease rose with age. As the study asserted, 50% of women got diabetes by the age of 70 and 44.3% of men by the time they were 70-74. One more finding showed that better education and higher income negatively correlated with diabetes prevalence (Alexandria, 2014).
American Nurses Association
One of the most influential organizations in the nursing community, the American Nurses Association (ANA) strongly advocates for equal rights and access to high-quality health care for immigrants, both documented and undocumented (ANA Issue Brief, n.d.). The strongest argument it suggests, based on evidence, runs that permitting this population to receive insurance will benefit the U. S. health care system though political rhetoric may claim the opposite. ANA is resolute as to its policy and aims at educating nurses to support the access to health care services for all groups, including undocumented immigrants, primarily regarding considerable social, economic, and political ramifications associated with the care of these populations.
Specifically, ANA informs that the rate of their poverty rose from 23.3% in 2008 to 25.1% in 2009, which results in higher risks for health and the lack of insurance. In 2010, ANA affirmed its straightforward position concerning the necessity of equal access to high-quality care for all the United States population. It emphasized that health care belongs to basic human rights for all human beings, without any exception. In this statement, ANA grounds ethical responsibility, which prompts to defend the dignity of all people irrespective of their minority, ethnic, or racial status.
So, the most powerful association of nurses advocates for change and improvement of the policies in the U.S. health sector, particularly, as far as accessibility, quality, and cost of health care are concerned. It demands that health reform should be expanded and urges nurses and other nursing organizations to advocate for immigrants, their families, and the whole communities. The tasks distinguished by the ANA include being attentive to their needs, helping them receive available health care resources, and ensuring culturally competent care (ANA Issue Brief, n.d.).
All things and facts considered, my position proclaims the introduction and implementation of effective public health policies for the improvement of diabetes prevention among Hispanic minority populations.
- First of all, it is vital to advocate for the needs and equal access to the help of this consideration in the American community ethnic group, whose number is continuing to grow significantly. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, every third American citizen will originate from the Latino culture by 2050 (Alexandria, 2014). Everyone would agree that it is a considerable part of our population, and so, they contribute much to the state of the nation’s health as a whole.
Moreover, our Constitution has for more than 200 years proclaimed the greatest value of human life, health, and well-being. In the same way, it emphasizes the equality of human rights, freedoms, and liberties for every single citizen of the country. It means that neither the color of skin nor any other sign of the other culture is an excuse for diminishing the rights or opportunities for the well-being of Hispanic or any other minority status group.
- Second, taking the aforementioned arguments into account, I stress the need to advocate for creating conditions, developing appropriate, efficient programs and strategies for elevating the rates of diabetes awareness among the Hispanic population. In the first place, one must focus on educating those having a low household income. This measure is prompted by the conclusions of the Hispanic Community Health Study (Schneiderman et al., 2014).
- Third, another important suggestion would be establishing more effective diabetes control since it is claimed to be of a low rate at present (Schneiderman et al., 2014). At the same time, it is possible to reduce the complications of diabetes through responsible, constant care, including regular checking blood glucose, blood pressure, as well as cholesterol level (National Diabetes Education Program, n.d.).
Finally, it is necessary to introduce active measures aimed at detecting risk groups (such as obese or pre-diabetics) and take steps to prevent the development of the disease.

Billy is a fictional character from the Black Christmas film series. He first appeared in Black Christmas (1974), as a deranged murderer who taunts and kills a group of college students during the Christmas season. Created by Bob Clark and A. Roy Moore, the character was partly inspired by the urban legend "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs", as well as a series of real murders in Montreal during the holiday season.
Several members of the cast and crew would portray and voice the character in the original film, such as Nick Mancuso, who performed the voices for the phone calls, while cameraman Albert J. Dunk performed Billy's POV shots and director Clark himself portrays both the villain's shadow and the phone voices. Neither the character nor his portrayer(s) would be listed in the end credits. In the subsequent years following the original film's release, fans and several media outlets have often cited the character's name as Billy, and director Clark has himself referred to the character by that name in later interviews.
Unlike later slasher film antagonists, the character's true identity and motivations were intentionally omitted from the 1974 version of the film, which the filmmakers felt made him more frightening. Several critics and art historians have noted that by leaving the character enigmatic, it allowed the audience to place their own fears onto the character, forming their own ideas about him and his motivations. While largely overshadowed by more popular horror or slasher film villains, Billy has subsequently been identified by some critics and film historians as establishing many of the tropes that later became a staple of the slasher film genre, predating John Carpenter's Halloween (1978). He has been described as one of the greatest horror villains of all time, and has been referenced in several other entertainment media.
"Billy" made his first appearance in the original 1974 film Black Christmas as a mentally disturbed man known as "The Moaner", who regularly calls a local sorority house, leaving disturbing and obscene messages. During one such phone call, Barb (Margot Kidder), one of the sorority sisters, provokes him; he responds by threatening to kill them. The caller then goes on a killing spree, murdering most of the sorority house's inhabitants, including Barb. Jess (Olivia Hussey), the lone survivor, is attacked by Billy but manages to fight him off, and after discovering the corpses of Billy's victims in Barb's room, accidentally bludgeons her boyfriend Peter (Keir Dullea) to death, thinking he is the killer. The film ends with Billy, still alive, talking to the corpses in the attic, before making a final phone call to the house.
Billy later appeared in the 1976 novelization of the film written by Campbell Armstrong under the pseudonyms Lee Hays and the 1983 republished edition as Thomas Altman. Both editions gave the character's name as Billy.
In the 2006 remake, his full name is William "Billy" Edward Lenz (Cainan Wiebe), and his backstory is prominently featured. Billy was born with severe jaundice due to liver disease, and although his father loves him, he is physically and emotionally abused as a child by his mother, Constance (Karin Konoval). After murdering Billy's father along with her lover, Constance rapes Billy after she is unable to conceive a child with her lover, giving birth to Billy's sister/daughter Agnes (Christina Crivici). Billy later goes insane and murders his mother and her lover, disfiguring Agnes before being caught and sent to an insane asylum. Years later, an adult Billy (Robert Mann) escapes and goes on a rampage with Agnes (Dean Friss) at their old family home, which has been converted into a sorority house. After murdering most of the inhabitants, both Agnes and Billy are killed by Kelli Presley (Katie Cassidy), the sole survivor.

Miranda Lambert performed on The Tonight Show alongside her country music group Pistol Annies just days after they released the music video for “Got My Name Changed Back.” The song, in which Miranda took lead, seemed to be all about her divorce from Blake Shelton three years ago. The video throws just as much shade as the lyrics. Scroll for more details on their performance.
Although they just released the music video for "Got My Name Changed Back," Miranda and her bandmates Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley opted to perform their song, “Best Years of My Life.”
Miranda stood behind a mic labeled “Lone Star,” which again drew attention to the singer’s love life.

The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend singer split from boyfriend Evan Felker — a married man she met on the road — in August shortly after he finalized his divorced.
“I didn’t think I could do better so I settled down,” Miranda sang on The Tonight Show. She also sang the lyrics, “I’m gonna mix a drink and try to drown this worthlessness.” It seemed as though the singer was still scorned by both her exes, Evan and Blake.
Pistol Annies, in particular, Miranda, clarified in a video posted to Twitter that the song is “about a person who’s really trying to do their best and maybe it isn’t working out as well as they’d want it to.”
