Cinnaminson, NJ, October 12th
Last month, the Monroe County Reporter
published an article that Monroe County Schools was delaying the start of the new school year by several days. The school district reportedly made the move to have time to move several hundred students and their teachers to another school building due to the presence of mold.
According to the article, water incursions have been an issue at the school in question for at least the last two years. Administrators decided to move the students when indoor air quality (IAQ) tests came back worse than outdoor samples.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Poor indoor air quality can impact the comfort and health of students and staff, which, in turn, can affect concentration, attendance, and student performance. In addition, if schools fail to respond promptly to poor IAQ, students and staff are at an increased risk of short-term health problems, such as fatigue and nausea, as well as long-term problems like asthma.”
“Over the past six weeks or so, schools across the country have been busy reopening their doors for the new school year,” said Jason Dobranic, Ph.D., Vice President of Microbiology and Life Sciences at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Unfortunately, what was discovered at the school in Monroe County happens all too frequently in every state of the nation. Many schools suffer from water leaks, plumbing issues and elevated humidity levels due to deferred preventive maintenance and postponed repair work on aging structures. With moisture, mold only needs about 48 hours to grow on most furnishing, books and many building materials. It doesn’t take long for a mold problem to develop.”
To help school administrators, teachers and concerned parents identify mold and other indoor environmental quality issues, EMSL Analytical, Inc. offers comprehensive testing services for a wide range of microbial and chemical indoor pollutants. The laboratory specialists provide all of the sampling supplies necessary, carry a wide range of air monitoring equipment and even offer easy-to-use test kits. They have also sponsored an educational video about IAQ issues in schools that can be seen at: https://youtu.be/jngqddmmoXY.

Crosswind – Vicious Dominion
Crosswind – Vicious Dominion (2014)
Reviewed by Daniel Millard
The debut full-length from Greek power metallers Crosswind has been a long time coming – almost twenty years, in fact. This gets a little confusing, because the band is best known for (up to this point, anyway) its demo compilation release of 2007’s Beyond and 2009’s Opposing Forces, which is basically an album unto itself – and a rather good one at that. With five more years under its belt since any recorded output, anyone with substantial interest in the European power metal underground has been tracking the band closely to see how it delivers on the promise of its demos.
While largely the same in style and execution, there are a couple of noticeable changes to how Crosswind approaches its compositions on Vicious Dominion. The pacing is generally slower, without the same wild, breakneck pace of tunes like “Nephilim Rising” and “Awakening” from the demos. Additionally, the band has upped the peripherals – more symphonic sound samples and backing choirs are featured in abundance as integrated portions of songs, rather than the numerous half-minute transitions that dotted the band’s earlier work.
Vicious Dominion is also more streamlined. While Greece has long had a tendency to produce either “epic” heavy metal bands or rather mediocre, more typical Euro-power groups, Crosswind has become a very good representation of the country in the latter category. Vasilis Topalidis is a more accomplished vocalist than guitarist Kyriakos Vasdokas, and brings a smoother, more melodic approach to Crosswind’s smartly-composed choruses. While I don’t shriek with glee about any one song here as much as I do “Awakening” from Opposing Forces, “Angels At War”, “Legion Lost”, and “Eye Of The Storm” are all superb earworms. Despite the less furious tempo, Crosswind manages some great shredding and well above-average riffing for a European band (which makes sense, keeping in mind the band’s speed metal roots) as well, making this a pretty well-rounded and laudable affair on the whole.
Now, maybe it’s just me, but despite saying all of these great things, I can’t shake the feeling that I actually prefer the 2010 compilation album in a small way. Though it’s more chaotic, not as well produced, and doesn’t (debatably) have as proficient a singer, that selection of songs just feels more organic and memorable to me. It may just be nostalgia talking, but I’d like to think that I’ve reviewed enough second helpings to realize when that’s the case, and when the music honestly doesn’t appeal to me as much. I will call Vicious Dominion a great album, but I can’t say so without simultaneously adding the caveat that I feel it’s a safer, slightly more prosaic piece of work.
My own feelings on this compared to the band’s prior efforts notwithstanding, I still issue a high recommendation for Vicious Dominion to all who enjoy uptempo, catchy European power metal that maintains a sense of heaviness and punch. The drumwork and riffing is really top-tier, and I think will appeal to fans of US power metal, classic German speed, and maybe even thrashier material in a way that most Euro-power acts just can’t match. The only realm in which I feel Crosswind needs to expand is memorability and unique replayability, as they’ve moved at least slightly closer to more generic power metal with this release. However, a ton of work went into this album, Topalidis is a roaring typhoon, and it pretty much kicks nine kinds of ass, so you can also just discard all my reservations and start screaming your lungs out.

Fatwa against `Pargaash` act to disturb normalcy: BJP
Jammu: The BJP today criticised the decree issued by Jammu and Kashmir`s Grandmufti against the all-girls rock band `Pragaash`, terming it a fundamentalist move which aimed at "Talibanisation" of the society.
"It is an attempt towards `Talibanisation` of the society by certain fundamentalist groups who are uncomfortable with the return of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir," party`s state spokesperson Jitendra Singh said here.
He said there are some people who don`t want the youth of Kashmir to be a part of the national mainstream.
The party also hit out at the National Conference-led government in the state, alleging that its "appeasement policy towards separatists and militant groups" encourage the fundamentalists and lead to such situations.
Although the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has denounced the decree on micro-blogging site Twitter, the government has not taken any measure for ensuring security of the members of the band, Singh alleged.
The party also launched a veiled attack on the Congress, saying that its "silence" over the issue raised doubts over its commitments towards maintaining dignity of women.
Amid support pouring in for the all-girls band after it received hate messages on social-networking websites, Grandmufti Bashiruddin Ahmad, through a decree, had yesterday termed singing as "un-Islamic" and asked them to abandon it.

Pile therapy in India has been done for millennia using Ayurvedic methods. Many individuals deal with piles daily. Ayurveda looks for the source of the issue and offers long-term answers.
Surgical removal of piles is considered the best choice by many men. There is little interest in using Ayurvedic medicine to treat piles. Choosing an Ayurvedic therapy for piles is the greatest choice discussed in this article. Ayurveda believes that treating the underlying cause of a disease is the best way to attain long-term results. You may learn more about Ayurvedic medicine for piles by reading on.
Ayurvedic Medicines for Piles and remedies:
Haemorrhoid treatment using an Ayurvedic approach is considered comprehensive. Herbal medicines, lifestyle modifications, and even minimally invasive surgeries are possible treatment options for haemorrhoids in Ayurvedic medicine.
Before providing treatment recommendations, your Ayurvedic practitioner will assess your general health to identify your predominant dosha. It is highly suggested that you consult with your physician in order to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate course of therapy.
It’s possible to use Ayurvedic medicine to cure haemorrhoids if you’d want to.
- Medications, also known as bhaishajya chikitsa, are used to treat various ailments.
Medications are usually sufficient for the treatment of mild haemorrhoids. Unless the haemorrhoids are more serious, there are no further operations required. Procedures and drugs may be utilized together in the worst-case scenario.
Your Ayurvedic practitioner will prescribe medical therapies and propose dietary and lifestyle adjustments to avoid recurrence depending on your dosha. If a drug isn’t suitable for your dosha, you should listen to your doctor’s advice.
- Kshara, or herbal application:
Kshara is an alkaline material used to treat haemorrhoids that is abrasive and alkaline. Catheterizing action is provided by the herbal paste. A slit proctoscope is used to administer Kshara to haemorrhoid. When the paste is applied, it chemically cauterizes the open and bleeding haemorrhoid.
When it comes to treating haemorrhoids in Ayurvedic medicine, this Kshara karma technique is believed to be the finest.
Depending on your dosha, you may be prescribed certain drugs to help your body heal and rebalance. Dietary and behavioural changes may also be necessary for recovery.
In some instances, herbal drugs might cause an allergic reaction. Test the cream on your arm first, and then go on to the rectal region if there is no response.
- Cauterization, also known as Agni karma,
Infrared heat may be used to cauterise external haemorrhoids. Haemorrhoids may be burned off by your Ayurvedic practitioner. There will be some discomfort associated with cauterization.
Five to six sessions spread over the same number of weeks may be necessary for this therapy to have any effect. To reiterate, your dosha will be considered prior to any treatment. This technique has the potential to cause more significant discomfort or infection. Consult your physician for advice on how to minimize your risks and make sure that this is the right course of action for you. More Western-style, less risky methods of therapy may be preferable.
Are There Benefits to Using Ayurvedic Medicine to Treat Piles?
Yes. Arsha may be treated using Ayurveda, which is widely accepted (Piles). The Doshas are balanced by herbal supplements, which aid in the elimination of toxins from the digestive tract. Using an Ayurvedic approach to treating piles, the disease is addressed at its source, providing long-term relief.
Fistula therapy in Ayurveda may also be done using Kshara Sutra techniques (Ayurvedic Parasurgical Treatment). Another research proposes combining ayurvedic medication with surgical procedures to cure haemorrhoids.
One can order ayurvedic medicine online to boost the immune system by enhancing the body’s ability to fight off illness and its effects.

Background: Immunopathological and inflammatory processes play important roles in the initiation and development of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD).
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of several autoantibodies including rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (anti-Sm), anti-phosphatidylserine (anti-PS) and anti-cardiolipin (anti-CL) antibodies in patients with IHD.
Methods: A total of 120 patients with IHD with acute myocardial infarction (AMI; n=60) or unstable angina (UA; n=60) and 60 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Serum samples of participants were tested for the ANA, anti-Sm, anti-PS and anti-CL antibodies by ELISA. Serum level of RF was measured by a turbidometric method.
Results: The mean serum levels of RF and anti-PS antibodies in AMI group and UA group were significantly higher than those observed in the control group (p<0.0001). The mean serum levels of RF and anti-PS antibodies in AMI patients were significantly higher than the UA group (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). The mean serum levels of RF in men with AMI or UA diseases were significantly higher as compared to healthy control men (p<0.0001 and p<0.003, respectively). The differences of the serum levels of ANA, anti-Sm and anti-CL antibodies were not significant between AMI, UA and the control groups. There was no difference in the serum levels of RF, ANA, anti-Sm, anti-PS or anti-CL antibodies in patients with traditional risk factors, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and smoking, and those without a certain risk factor.
Conclusion: Higher serum levels of RF and anti-PS antibody in patients with IHD may be considered as independent risk factors for IHD.

I believe I used supports to make sure the holes were as round as possible. I found with the old one 1 in id pvc pipe will fit nicely over the original pipe so I could get the vane higher off the roof. I put a sheet rock screw in to make sure it did not spin or fly off. This is much better than the original, I was able to use a longer pipe and it sits straight and does not flex.

When I first arrived in Dumfries and Galloway with my partner Helen, we set up a business called Viridian Skies. Under this name we ran astrophotography tours, stargazing tours and events, and we also sold and exhibited my astrophotography.
Customers enjoying the view at a public stargazing event at the Kirroughtree Visitor Centre
Soon we realised that the ‘Viridian Skies’ was far too ambiguous (not to mention a bit of a mouthful!) So this year we relaunched; the stargazing tours and events are now under the name Stargazing Scotland, and my photography identity, tours, and exhibitions fall under J Beaman Photography.
Despite the relaunch, photography still plays an important role in my stargazing tour business. I capture images of my customers during the event as part of the product so that afterwards they have a souvenir.
One of the benefits of separating my photography from my astro tours is that I can now share a diversity of images. Professionally, my focus is still on night photography. However I have a personal interest in day landscapes, people, wildlife and macro photography. I can now display these images online without having to worry about their relevance to my stargazing followers. I haven't pursued wildlife photography or macro photography since my days at university, but it's something I'd like to re visit for personal reasons if nothing else.
The bluebells are in flower at the moment here in Galloway. Now that I’ve relaunched I can confidently share these images via J Beaman Photography without having to worry about their relevance to my astro tour business.
Whilst my business focus and main personal interest remains firmly after dark, I now feel less trapped by a specific photographic approach. Night photography can produce amazing results, but there are ways to work with daylight to produce results that just aren’t possible to achieve under darkness. Astrophotography opens many doors, but it also closes a few important photographic avenues. Through J Beaman Photography I will share a higher diversity of images online, and I hope that through this my photography in general will improve, resulting in my astrophotography also improving over time.

I probably should have titled this post “How To Destroy a Poinsettia in 30 Minutes or Less.” Or maybe just “How To Burn Down Your House.” Eric came home with a beautiful poinsettia the other day. He knows I love flowers and plants. I especially love them when they are not on fire.
It’s not a complicated story. I lit a candle on the kitchen counter. A while later Charlotte was getting a little too friendly with the poinsettia on the table (she likes to pet flowers, sometimes quite vigorously. I tried to get her to smell them without touching, but she’s obviously figured out that poinsettias have absolutely no scent. Clever girl.) So anyway, to save my poinsettia from death by toddler, I moved it to the counter, where it instead met its demise by fire and brimstone.
This alfredo is pretty freaking awesome. I’ve never roasted my own red peppers before; it was easy, absolutely delicious and made the house smell amazing. Plus goat cheese, hello?? This recipe went down pretty quick, too. Next time if I am in a real hurry I might try using jarred roasted red peppers. Serve this up with a big green salad. Yum-o!
Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Alfredo
Source: Lauren’s Latest
2 whole red bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup half & half (regular or fat free)
4 ounces garlic & herb goat cheese
2/3 cup grated fresh parmesan
1/2 pound linguine, cooked to al dente
salt & pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes to taste, optional
parsley to garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place red peppers on baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes until peppers are charred. Remove from oven and cover with foil 10 minutes.
In the mean time, saute onions in olive oil 7 minutes or until tender. Add the garlic for the last minute–make sure it is nice and fragrant. Pour in half & half, goat cheese, salt & pepper. Stir to melt goat cheese into sauce and keep warm over low heat.
Uncover peppers, peel off skin and remove stem and seeds. Chop into large pieces and place into sauce along with parmesan cheese. Stir to melt cheese and remove from heat. Pour sauce into food processor and puree, or use an immersion blender. Place back into hot pan and toss with cooked pasta. Taste and adjust seasonings. Top with more parmesan cheese, pepper, salt and parsley, if desired.

Monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain (LC) crystalline inclusions within podocytes are rare, poorly characterized entities. To provide more insight, we now present the first clinicopathologic series of LC crystalline podocytopathy (LCCP) encompassing 25 patients (68% male, median age 56 years). Most (80%) patients presented with proteinuria and chronic kidney disease, with nephrotic syndrome in 28%. Crystalline keratopathy and Fanconi syndrome were present in 22% and 10%, respectively. The hematologic condition was monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) in 55% and multiple myeloma in 45%. The serum monoclonal immunoglobulin was IgG κappa in 86%. Histologically, 60% exhibited focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), often collapsing. Ultrastructurally, podocyte LC crystals were numerous with variable effacement of foot processes. Crystals were also present in proximal tubular cells as light chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT) in 80% and in interstitial histiocytes in 36%. Significantly, frozen-section immunofluorescence failed to reveal the LC composition of crystals in 88%, requiring paraffin-immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry, with identification of kappa LC in 87%. The LC variable region gene segment, determined by mass spectrometry of glomeruli or bone marrow plasma cell sequencing, was IGKV1-33 in four and IGKV3-20 in one. Among 21 patients who received anti-plasma cell-directed chemotherapy, 50% achieved a kidney response, which depended on a deep hematologic response. After a median follow-up of 36 months, 26% progressed to kidney failure and 17% died. The mean kidney failure-free survival was 57.6 months and was worse in those with FSGS. In sum, LCCP is rare, mostly associates with IgG κappa MGRS, and frequently has concurrent LCPT, although Fanconi syndrome is uncommon. Paraffin-immunofluorescence and electron microscopy are essential to prevent misdiagnosis as primary FSGS since kidney survival depends on early diagnosis and subsequent clone-directed therapy.
Keywords: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; light chain crystals; monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance; myeloma; podocytopathy.

Just a tune today, another instrumental sketch. It's been a slow week for me out in public. (Hell, it's been a slow year or a slow several years!)
[photo by kk]
I don't perform much lately, but last Wednesday I joined my friend Jim Caruso and played a song at his open mic event, Cast Party.
It's mostly Broadway show tunes but I can blend in everywhere, oddball that I am. I did my cover song (50 Ways To Leave Your Lover), accompanied on piano by the guy who also plays piano and directs for Tony Bennett and Liza Minelli.
I got to touch the sound in public, briefly once again and as usual it was all over too quickly.
(Same is true if I play for 90 minutes or 4 hours, btw.)
Why so little performing these days, Trev?
I've been re-calibrating my life after experiencing severe burnout on the road. I've invested in my mental health, re-evaluated some of my relationships and done what I could to become a better steward of my own sound.
Never did I ever imagine I'd go so long without performing, but here we are.
The world has been changing so much, but I am a witness to the power of music every day and I can see how people need it.
Music helps us make sense of our lives. It helps us inhabit our own bodies and connect with those around us. We all have to do it in our own way, but when we do it right a connection opens to a power much greater than ourselves.
It's given to us so that we can give it out further.
So I give this to you.
Love to your ears,

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Members of the all-volunteer rifle squad from Fort Snelling will take part in the Memorial Day ceremonies at the Arlington National Cemetery.
Eleven members of the group will join President Barack Obama Monday to place a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On Saturday, four of the 11 members attending the special ceremony practiced their presentatio, which includes the presentation of the American flag and their unit flag.
Commander Terri Winter, the first female commander of the squad, said team members are always there when people bury veterans at Fort Snelling. Despite the squad's tough exterior, fighting tears isn't always easy.
"Sometimes you just don't. I try to wear sunglasses when I know that there is something that is going to affect me," Winter said. "Like, if there is a mom that is burying a child or somebody that is close to my age. It tends to do me in."
So far, the squad has performed burial honors for more than 65,000 military veterans. They show up in all sorts of weather conditions, and their dedication is all volunteer.
Members of the squad range between the ages of 51 to 95 years old. They are veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and peacetime veterans. In all, there are about 127 members.
The President will celebrate the squad's 35th year as the nation's first all-volunteer memorial rifle squad.
"We have never missed a day in 35 years," Greg Munsun said with pride. "We drive a lot of miles to get here. We have to get up early in the morning. We are here to honor. It's really an honor to do what we do, that is why going to Arlington is just ... "
Munsun couldn't find words to finish his sentence, too humbled by the opportunity and recognition.
Winter, who joined the U.S. Army the same year the squad was formed, said she was 17 and said she wanted to be like her dad, who was also a solider.
Monday she will wear a special hat decorated with pins. Each pin on the hat has meaning. Especially the faded old glory.
"This was actually my dad's, so it gives you an idea how old the flag is," she said pointing to the pin. "I will have a piece of him with me. I hope he is proud. He was always a proud dad."

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
California Sen. Kamala Harris became the latest 2020 presidential candidate to weigh in on whether the United States should get rid of the Electoral College and have presidential elections be determined by the popular vote.
During a Tuesday night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Harris said she would be “open” to abolishing the Electoral College.
“I’m open to the discussion,” she said. “There’s no question that the popular vote has been diminished in terms of making the final decision about who’s the president of the United States and we need to deal with that. So I’m open to the discussion.”
Elizabeth Warren this week called for abolishment.

If you’re looking for an incredible way to free up your time and get more from life, you’re better off buying a TIC property. This type of property lets you harness the power of the real estate market without being actively involved.
Section 1031 of the Tax Code enables single owners of small commercial properties to trade up their holdings. As part of the compliance process, you need to sell your commercial holdings and use all of the proceeds from the sale to buy a stake in a larger property. If you need some help, you can collaborate with TIC property exchange companies like 1031 Exchange Place.
Diversify Your Real Estate Portfolio
Experts recommend that investors carry a diversified portfolio, as it enables them to spread the risk. A TIC property exchange allows you to follow this advice and safeguard your investment. You can have your pick from properties in different investment sectors, like education and medicine.
You can spread your holdings over several properties located anywhere in the United States. Since you will have no active management role, you can spread your investments across the country without a worry in the world.
Enjoy Lucrative Markets
The real estate market is quite dynamic, and you might not have the ability to keep up with changing consumer preferences. As a property owner, you might be caught up in the wrong end of these changes, and it could cause you to bleed money. Taking part in a TIC property exchange gives you a way out while letting you pursue the lucrative market.
Better yet, you get to hang on to all your capital gains, which increases your buying power. You can spread your holdings over several hot markets, which lets you grow your wealth quickly.
Taking part in a TIC property exchange is an incredible way to get your money to work for you. Also, it lets you put all your capital gains to work instead of ceding a portion to the taxman.


"What concerns me the most is the lack of transparency," City Councilman Bruce Harrell said during Wednesday's meeting.
Harrell pressed police commanders to explain the breakdowns that allowed back-clad anarchists to run unchecked through downtown streets.
He also wants to know why police took 11 months to issue an after-action report, even though he'd been asking for it from the get go.
"I am very sorry that this has turned into a finger pointing exercise, because that's not the intent of an after-action report," said police chief John Diaz.
Three separate reports have since been made public. They blame commanders for issuing confusing instructions and adopting crowd-control techniques without properly training officers.
"There were a lot of things that we were not prepared to do, that we had not been trained to do," said Lt. Eric Sano with the Seattle Police Management Association.
The police union representative said the May Day reports fail to identify the real man in charge as assistant chief Mike Sanford, who had to be rescued by his own officers when he charged into the crowd.
Instead, Capt. Joe Kessler shouldered much of the blame for the day's events.
"As a union we didn't want to see our member be pilloried like this in the press when he wasn't at fault," Sano said.
Police also detailed the changes they've made for this year's May Day under Capt. Chris Fowler. Everything from roll-call instructions to the use of uniformed and undercover officers is being reworked so people can exercise their civil liberties safely.
"We're not looking for fall guys. We're not looking to push the blame. We're looking for transparency and to improve our systems," Harrell said.

Michigan State's community liaison compiled a list of available funds to students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The list includes university, state, and federal financial aid as well as other resources for students affected by the pandemic.
MSU along with certain colleges are offering emergency funding for students. This money is to assist students that have unexpectedly lost a portion of their income from job loss, a death of a parent, or other circumstances beyond their control.
The colleges that offer emergency funding are: College of Communication Arts and Sciences, College of Education, Residential College in the Arts and Humanities, College of Natural Science, James Madison College, College of Arts and Letters, the Honors College, the College of Business, the College of Nursing, the College of Social Science, the College of Music, the College of Veterinary Medicine , the College of Engineering and Lyman Briggs College.
There's also a fund for international students.
"MSU will receive at least $14.9 million in emergency funds for students under the U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Relief Fund." MSU spokesperson Dan Olsen said in an email. "The university is developing a plan to disburse the funds to eligible students and will be sharing that information in the coming days."
The MSU Office of Financial Aid is offering short term loans up to $500 for undergraduate students, $1,000 for graduate students, and $1,700 for medical students. The loans are available for any student enrolled in courses for the current semester. The loans must be repaid in 60 days and come with a 7% annual interest rate.
The Associated Students of Michigan State University (ASMSU) offers free, professional legal assistance for all eligible MSU students. Students can get advice and representation on landlord-tenant matters such as payment plans for rent.
Students are encouraged to talk to their landlords ahead of time if they are having trouble paying their rent, according to the resource list.
Students struggling to buy food can contact the MSU Student Food Bank once a week for support. Due to COVID-19, students are required to call and place an order over the phone first. Once the order is completed, the food bank will place their order on a marked table for pickup to minimize contact between workers and students.
Federal and state assistance
The CARES act expanded the eligibility criteria for unemployment insurance. Students will need their social security number, driver’s license or state ID, and employment information from the last 18 months to apply for unemployment.
The federal act also made individuals who made less than $75,000 last year or couples who earned less than $150,000 last year eligible to receive a $1,200 payment from the federal government. Students will have to not be claimed as a dependent on their parents' or guardians' tax forms to qualify. According to the IRS, taxpayers who have filed taxes for 2018 or 2019 will receive payments automatically.
If students did not file taxes in the past two years, but qualify for the direct payment, they should enter their payment information at the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here.
“The IRS urges taxpayers to be on the lookout for scam artists trying to use the economic impact payments as cover for schemes to steal personal information and money,” according to the IRS website. “Remember, the IRS will not call , text you, email you or contact you on social media asking for personal or bank account information – even related to the economic impact payments. Also, watch out for emails with attachments or links claiming to have special information about economic impact payments or refunds.”
Editor's note: This article was updated at 9:15 a.m. to include information about the Lyman Briggs College emergency fund.
This article was updated at 11:35 a.m.to include all emergency funds listed on Michigan State's new website for COVID-19 relief resources and at 2:56 p.m. April 16 to include the College of Engineering

Reba McEntire has new music to share on Friday.
The country legend gave her Twitter fans a heads up this week that she’s planning to release “Somehow You Do,” which is the theme song to the upcoming film, Four Good Days. Reba hasn’t offered up too many details about the forthcoming track, but she did drop a link to pre-save it, and also shared the song’s cover art.
Four Good Days, described as a gripping story of recovery and family love, will be in theaters beginning April 30. The film stars Mila Kunis and Glenn Close, who tell the story of 31-year-old Molly and her estranged mother, Deb, who navigate their tenuous bond as Molly begins a harrowing recovery from heroin addiction.
When she first shared her role in the film, Reba explained that she was especially excited to be a part of a project that spotlights strong, talented women, including the songwriter behind “Somehow You Do.”
“It was written by the amazing Diane Warren who also wrote my songs ‘I’ll Be’ and ‘What If,’” Reba said. “I’m so proud to be associated with these three very powerful women!”

Here is how it used to work.......
As shown in Hexagram's excellent illustration above, there were 3 satellites in a 'tundra' orbit. At any one time 2 of those were above North America and were active. The other was keyed off to conserve power.
Sirius used 3 frequencies. 1 for the terrestrial repeaters which were fed from AMC-6 and 2 for the satellites. These were/are centered at 2322 & 2330.5 MHz. Since there were an odd number of satellites, at each pass over N. America each satellite changed frequency. In addition to all of that, Sirius did a time offset between the two frequencies to provide an error correction advantage.
Graphic from Radio Magazine July 1, 2001.
So each Sirius receiver was actually 3 receivers. One receiving the terrestrial signal and two others receiving the satellite signal. Although the system worked with only one of the three signals, best error correction and concealment happened when there were two receivable signals.
So now we have an additional satellite (FM-5) parked in the traditional arc over the equator. I've got to wonder what frequency is this thing on? Or maybe Sirius has been secretly manufacturing receivers that can handle 4 signals. I sure would like to know how all of this works.
btw, still no improvement here in the Washington, DC area with my Sirius OEM car radio.


Reliability is a primary design metric and impacts heavily design, validation, implementation and testing choices.
Advance nanometer processes, dynamic operating conditions, aggressive working environments makes devices increasingly sensitive to external and internal perturbations. Additionally, more and more functionalities, computing power and sophistication are required from actual electronic systems, making them more complex and with a higher component count.
Accordingly, reliability management became mandatory for today’s highly complex electronic devices.
As usual, the first step is to evaluate the gravity of the problem. Ideally, the reliability analysis should provide data for every feature (block) of the system and also for the whole system. The results are then checked against input (customer) specifications. If the system performs worse than expected, corrective measures (if still possible) are applied. Again, the reliability results should provide relevant data about the critical features of the system to protect or harden. The added improvements in reliability are rarely free: extra area is required or the performances of the device are degraded. Reliability analysis is, again, called to judge the best compromise between the benefits and added costs.
However, effective reliability analysis is difficult to perform. Firstly, reliable data about the behavior of the technology should be gathered. Existing data (from literature) is not always matching the specific standard cells or memory blocks used in the circuit. Moreover, literature data is still poor in characterization data for standard cells. Additionally, most founders are not yet ready or willing to provide reliability data about their libraries. We will enumerate practical ways to obtain this information.
Lastly, the manufactured circuit may be used in a variety of scenarios. This is particularly true for generic purpose circuits such as microcontrollers or CPUs. Reliability performance is expected to vary accordingly. The circuit/system designers have to take in account these aspects by computing more accurate de-rating factors, according to the real-life usage of their systems.
IROC Technologies provides tools, services and solutions to perform efficient and ressource-aware fault simulation and propagation analysis. We have developed a complete EDA tool platform – SoCFIT, implementing static (probabilistic) and dynamic (fault-simulation based) methods for the evaluation of the behavior of the faulty design for a variety of applications.
SOCFIT™: Circuit-Level Reliability Analysis
SoCFIT is an EDA software platform for fault simulation and evaluation able to combine technology reliability data and de-rating factors to evaluate the functional reliability of complex circuits and systems.
SoCFIT is able to successfully handle very large designs (10s of millions FF) and includes static (probabilistic) and dynamic (fault simulation and propagation) approaches for the computation of applicative, timing and logic de-rating. SoCFIT’s internal algorithms are able to accelerate tremendously the simulation of various types of faults.
SoCFIT provides extensive reports:
- per cell instance, design feature/block reliability data
- de-rating information
- FIT/event rate for faults/errors/failures


More than 200 hospital domestics, catering staff and porters in North Devon were set to strike for two days as Socialist Worker went to press. This follows a 97 percent vote for strike action.
The low paid workers in the Unison union are angry because their employer, Sodexo, and the local NHS Trust have failed to implement a government agreement to give outsourced staff NHS pay and conditions.
The Trust has received the funds from the government to implement this from 2006 but has chosen not to. After three years of being ignored and fobbed off, the members decided that strike action was the only way to get the employers to honour the agreement.

The PHLX Semiconductor Index has turned in an underwhelming performance so far this year as fears of a cyclical slowdown and other macro obstacles have hurt investor sentiment. The latest developments suggest that things won't get better anytime soon. Deutsche Bank recently slashed the earnings estimates for eight chip stocks by an average of 5%, blaming a slowdown in business activity.
Morgan Stanley is singing a similar tune, believing that an inventory correction in the space will boost bearish sentiment and hurt stock prices. But investors who are willing to absorb the near-term pain and take advantage of secular semiconductor trends over the long run should keep Skyworks Solutions (SWKS -0.68%), Xilinx (XLNX), and Maxim Integrated (MXIM) on their radar. Let's see why.
Skyworks Solutions looks well prepared to overcome the industry downturn thanks to its strong margin profile. In fact, all three companies discussed in this piece carry this trait.
For comparison, the average operating margin of the semiconductor industry is around 27%, whereas all the ones in the chart above are over 30. Skyworks is at the top of this list and it won't be surprising if its margins get better on account of favorable technology trends in smartphones and the Internet of Things.
Carrier aggregation -- which increases bandwidth -- for instance, will give Skyworks' business a nice shot in the arm as it supplies necessary technology.
Looking ahead, demand for Skyworks' aggregation switches will increase with the advent of fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks. That's because 5G networks require the aggregation of a wide range of spectrum bands from 30 GHz to 300 GHz as compared to the 4G network that uses frequencies below 6 GHz.
Considering that 5G smartphone shipments are forecast to increase from just 2 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion in 2025, it can be safely said that Skyworks Solutions is sitting on a massive opportunity.
Just like Skyworks, demand for Xilinx's programmable chips is going to take off thanks to their application in artificial intelligence (AI). It is estimated that the market for FPGA (field-programmable gate array) chips that Xilinx deals in will be worth $12.1 billion in 2024 as compared to $6.9 billion at the end of 2016.
Xilinx is in a solid position to take advantage of this growth, as it controls nearly 60% of the FPGA market. Intel holds the remaining market share in this space, and it is likely that it could lose more ground because of a delay in its 10-nm (nanometer) production process. Xilinx is all set to launch its next-generation FPGAs based on the 7-nm process next year, while Intel's competing 10-nm platform will probably hit the market in 2020, assuming that there are no further delays.
Ideally, Xilinx's chips based on a smaller manufacturing node should give it a leg up over Intel. That's because a smaller nanometer indicates that the chip is made using an advanced process, which allows for more processing power and lower power consumption. As such, Xilinx can widen its technology lead over Chipzilla, as the latter will remain on the 14-nm manufacturing process for at least two years.
In all, Xilinx looks set to corner a bigger share of the FPGA market. This is one of the reasons why the company's earnings are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 16% over the next five years. This marks a terrific improvement over the 4% annual earnings growth that Xilinx has recorded in the past five years.
Maxim Integrated has managed to get its growth back on track of late thanks to the growing clout of its automotive business. Its revenue increased 8% in the recently concluded fiscal year, which marks an improvement over the 5% annual revenue growth it clocked in fiscal 2017. The good news is that Maxim believes that its automotive business will grow in the low teens going forward.
The automotive business supplied 22%, or $139 million, of Maxim's total revenue during the quarter ended in June. This translates into an annual automotive run rate of $556 million. Using a 13% growth rate (the company's low-teens estimate), Maxim's annual automotive revenue could exceed $1 billion in the next five years, nearly double where it stands right now. Given that Maxim has generated $2.48 billion in revenue in the trailing 12 months, the automotive business looks all set to give its figures a nice boost in the future.
More importantly, Maxim is in a solid position to grow the automotive business thanks to its partnerships with the likes of NVIDIA. Maxim's integrated circuits have been chosen by NVIDIA to power its advanced self-driving car systems, including the DRIVE Pegasus and the Xavier platforms.
The good news for Maxim is that NVIDIA's autonomous driving platforms are witnessing higher engagement levels thanks to its solid ecosystem of partners. Maxim's long-term prospects appear rosy.
The Foolish takeaway
In the end, we can conclude that all three companies could deliver nice gains to investors in the long run despite short-term hiccups, thanks to their reliance on secular growth trends. That's why investors should hold tight and possibly accumulate these three stocks if they show signs of short-term weakness.

One of the most common online dating red flags is certainly when the person you’re chatting to constantly complains about his or her former mate. Nobody desires to hear each of the intimate details of someone’s passionate past, and mentioning your ex on a account or perhaps on a time frame sends an unacceptable message. When you’re over your ex, leave it in the past. If you want to stop such concerns, it’s best to stay far from online dating.
A good way to identify an ex girlfriend or boyfriend is whenever they don’t mention their ex. This can suggest that they’re nonetheless in a relationship, or that they don’t really want to review the painful previous. When communicating with a potential spouse, you will need to make sure you’re free to communicate without restraint and by natural means. If you don’t feel comfortable asking all of them about their earlier relationships, it’s most likely time to move on.
One other red flag is in case the person does not mention all their ex in their profile. That they may be hiding in back of their picture book, not be open of their intentions. You’d be better off asking them about it in person, nevertheless don’t be reluctant to ask concerns of their past. It is also a good idea to ask these people about their last relationship when you are unsure if they’re still in concert or not.
Finally, don’t get them to mention he or she. A picture is valued at a thousand key phrases, ancor of course, if they avoid mention this, that’s a sign they’re hiding something. It’s fine to ask regarding their last romantic relationship, but be suspicious of people who don’t mention https://elite-brides.net/chinese/ their previous. If they’re hesitant to let you know about their past, it could probably since they’re as well afraid to dating online review the is painful from the prior relationship.
When you’re get together someone via an online dating app, you could meet somebody who’s hiding things. They usually are controlling or perhaps very singing about their limitations, which is a big red flag.

The key to a good online dating experience can be respecting restrictions and preventing negative encounters. If you’re not able to dignity your spouse-to-be’s boundaries, you should avoid online dating sites.
In case the person won’t mention their very own former flame, then the person may be still online dating someone else. You need to be cautious about people who have a tendency mention the ex girlfriend or boyfriend on their account.

Newt’s bombast may be fatal flaw

|The article you requested has been archived|


The following message is from the Mimico Residents Association:
February 2013 – Important Mimico 20/20 Survey
Have your say before the councillors vote on the Mimico 20/20 Revitalization Plan.
Take our short three question survey.
We are at a critical point in the Mimico 20/20 planning process. The Mimico Residents Association (MRA) would like your input to help us formalize our official position on the current version of the Mimico 20/20 Revitalization Plan (the Plan).
Etobicoke York Community Council will vote on the Plan as early as February 26, 2013.
The MRA is interested in knowing how YOU would vote if you were a councillor.
We would also like your opinion specifically on affordable housing and 1:1 rental replacement.
Based on feedback from our recent Community surveys, there are polarized views relating to how the Plan addresses the following:
- Heights and density
- Relocation of replacement rental units
- Affordable housing
The Plan currently states that it would consider relocating some of the rental units along Lake Shore to areas immediately within the community. The theory is that this would allow for less building height by the lake while maintaining the 1:1 rental unit replacement policy. These units are defined as “affordable rental housing.”
While you may or may not agree with all aspects of the current Plan, please consider the following as you go through the survey:
- If the Plan is approved, development in the area will have defined parameters and guidelines to follow based on Community input.
- If Council votes to reject the Plan, development could begin without these parameters and guidelines. Existing City regulations will be in force.
- It is possible that the Plan could be approved or rejected, in full or in part, by Council.
- Council could vote to defer consideration and instruct City staff to conduct more work before reviewing the Plan again at a later date.
At any time, if a development proposal is rejected by the City, then the developer can proceed and request a hearing at the OMB. The MRA has learned that there is a greater likelihood of success for community’s residents at a hearing, when their views match the City’s secondary plan.
The survey consists of only three key questions; however, before you start, please ensure you are familiar with the Mimico 20/20 Plan.
Visit www.toronto.ca/planning/mimico2020.htm for information.
And as always, your responses will remain anonymous.

Woman hammers alcoholic husband to death in Telangana: Police
The woman fled the scene after the time and search is on to trace her.india Updated: Oct 05, 2018 17:54 IST
A man, addicted to liquor, was allegedly hammered to death by his wife during a quarrel between them in neighbouring Peddapalli district Friday, police said.
After the incident, the woman fled the scene, police said.
Nayeema Begum (35), married to Mohammed Pasha (40) for 14 years, had filed a case some time ago against him for demanding additional dowry, said assistant commissioner of police Habeeb Khan.

A search is on for her, he added.

In a conversation meant to spark debate, Forrest and head of TED Chris Anderson discuss an ambitious plan to get the world’s biggest companies to fund an environmental revolution — and transition industry towards getting all of its plastic from recycled materials, not from fossil fuels.

EPL 2011/2012 is only in its fourth week, yet there is already a buzz about which club managers are under pressure to deliver or face the boot. Two names stick out prominently – Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is one and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger the other. The former is 44-years old who was made manager in December 2010 on a contractual basis until mid 2013 while the latter is the longest serving and most successful manager of his club. While there are some more names being thrown around, much of the focus has been on the two men managing the Rovers and Gunners. Here’s what the betting odds for EPL manager departures look like.
The First Premier League Manager to Bid Adieu
Leading bookmaker William Hill is accepting bets on predictions about which Premier League manager would be the first to leave. The odds on Wenger departing stand at 8/1 while Steve Kean tops the list with odds of 4/6. Others tipped to get the pink slip include Sunderland boss Steve Bruce and Everton manager, both at 8/1. QPR manager Neil Warnock also makes the list, with the odds for his exit standing at 5/1. Not surprisingly, Sir Alex Ferguson’s odds of leaving stand at 50/1, same as those for Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.
Fans’ patience with Wenger is running thin; the final draw came after the crushing 8-2 loss last week to Manchester United. He has been criticized by fans and football experts alike for the following:
Not making the most of the summer transfer window to strengthen his team on the back of news that star players Bendtner, Nasri and Fabregas are all set to leave. However, following Gunners’ last week loss, Wenger has spent big to sign Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos, and loan Yossi Benayoun from Chelsea. Whether this reinforcement will give the club’s performance a boost in the upcoming games is yet to be seen, but it is a relief that Wenger has at least realized that his side needs new blood.
Not doing enough to persuade Fabregas and Nasri to stay. The two players have already sizzled on their debut for Barca and Manchester City respectively.
Failing to change playing tactics and formations to deliver optimal results. This has resulted in a trophy draught over the last six years, which is rather humiliating for such a respected English club.
Kean’s Job on the Line
After three straight EPL losses, Steve Kean’s managerial abilities have come under the scanner. And it wouldn’t be a surprise if he is sacked prematurely, much like his predecessor Sam Allardyce, whose ouster came as a shock to not just the players but the football world as well (Ferguson publicly condemned this move by Rovers’ owners). Unless he is successful in ensuring that Blackburn Rovers finish this Premier League season at a respectable position, the chances of him staying on are slim.
Warnock Fighting Hard to Prevent QPR Relegation
Queens Park Rangers’ coach Neil Warnock is aware of the general sentiment that his club will probably face relegation. Despite this, he is fighting hard to prove his critics wrong. And he has support from new club owner Tony Fernandes, who has taken on a more proactive role and promised to do everything in his capacity for the squad. New signings in the form of Joey Barton, Anton Ferdinand and Shaun Wright-Phillips have given QPR fans reason to rejoice. It also doesn’t hurt that QPR is currently placed above Arsenal, in twelfth position with two losses and one win.

There is someone special for everyone.
I believe there is one special person for someone. I believe this because I think that no one could ever be alone. Even if they don’t have someone now they will always have someone in the future. When I see people who have been with a boy or girl for at least two years I always assume that is the person for them. Not every relationship is perfect but I have seen some that are close enough to it. There is always going to be ups and downs in a relationship but you have to understand that you pretty much made a commitment to that person so who ever you hook up to will make a huge difference in your life because you guys pretty much made a commitment to be together.
I also believe this because everyone has someone who is going to love them and be there for them through whatever. Whether it is a friend, parent, boyfriend or girlfriend. All three of those should always be there for you and when you need a shoulder to cry on or anything they would be there for you. Not everyone has those kinds of people. Some people have lost their parents and don’t get around enough to meet new friends or find a boyfriend or a girlfriend so some people have themselves or other family members. But if your positive and confident enough in yourself you will find exactly what you want.
Those are the reasons of why I believe that there is one special person for everyone. Some people see it on television and just think oh that’s television. But its really not. You can make anything happen that you want to but you have to help yourself. So if you want a friend or you want a boyfriend or girlfriend you have to put yourself out there to meet new people. Some might come to you but you have to put something into it.
This kind of reminds me that if you want something to try your hardest to get it. If you want someone for you then reach to get it. Some people don’t look just so they get hurt but always take things slow and hope for the best between them hopefully good things come along.
