A rescue of dozens of patients is currently underway at a flooded Port Arthur nursing home.
Nurses said some patients in beds and wheelchairs were stranded in high water for up to 24 hours, according to a Port Arthur officer who talked with KTRK-TV.
Officer Mike Hebert said they were alerted to the critical situation at the Lake Arthur Nursing home while he and another officer were in the midst of water rescues Wednesday afternoon.
It was estimated about 74 patients were at the nursing home when floodwater from Tropical Storm Harvey inundated the facility.
"When we got here, there had been some altercations," Hebert said. "Some of the relatives had come here to try and take their loved ones and they were being stopped from doing so."
The officer said police intervened and began evacuating seniors with the help of volunteers and rescue teams.
"There's no way in or out of this facility unless it's in a boat," Hebert said. "Air is not possible. Vehicles aren't possible."
While there were rumors that some of the nursing staff left the home, all nurses were accounted for and stayed with patients, the officer said.
Just before 3 p.m., Hebert estimated about 30 seniors were transported by boat from the nursing home.
"We won't leave the facility," he said. "As long as there are patients, we're not leaving."

So how does the tiniest and most famous cat on the planet celebrate her second birthday? With the biggest blow-out bash in New York City. Big cake, big balloons, big entertainment in a big space but a small select group of guests. Grumpy Cat famous for her meme declaring everything awful, is anything but grumpy and the party was awfully good.
Before the party started, I spent some private time with the birthday girl and her cat mom, Tabby Bundesen, and her brother Bryan Bundesen. It had been six months since I’d seen the famous trio at the Friskies Cat Video Awards, and Grumpy Cat looked adorable and alert in her usual nonplussed manner. Tabatha, or Tabby as she prefers, looked radiant in a green silk jumpsuit and moved with the patina of growing confidence that fame brings. Still in her 20s, Ms. Bundesen has grown noticeably more sophisticated since I first saw her at the Grumpy Cat book launch appearance at BEA almost a year ago. Bryan, who is responsible for unleashing the first Grumpy Cat video (which went viral in 36 hours) remains solidly down-to-earth and affable. Grumpy Cat famous for her meme declaring everything awful, is anything but grumpy and the party was awfully good.
Some worry about the safety of Grumpy Cat and her many public appearances but cat mom Tabby was always within an arm’s length keeping an eye on her special cat. Grumpy cat is the spokescat for the Friskies brand and the bash was sponsored by Friskies Party Mix. Friskies is part of the Purina family, the largest pet food brand in the world.
Guests lined up to be photographed with Grumpy Cat and share on social media with the hashtag #grumpybirthday. The birthday gal posed on top of a cozy pillow and no one was allowed to handle her. Her manager Ben Lashes told me her well being is of paramount importance to all concerned. At the end of the party, I was lucky to hold Grumpy Cat and Bryan kindly took a photo of me with his phone. And then she was whisked away for her next assignment: sweet dreams at her hotel.
There were no grumpy faces except on the gazillion balloons and bottles of Grumpuccino and birthday cake. How could there be with a group of fun cat lovers, a fully stocked open bar with signature Grumpy cat cocktails, sumptuous passed hors d’oerves, a buffet of salads, sliders, and crab cakes, dessert, and some sweet swag to take home?
Tamar Arslanian, my blogger pal from ‘I Have Cat’, dared me to have my face catified by the excellent make-up artist. As a cat behaviorist, I already think like a cat so why not look like one?
Champagne wishes and Grumpy Cat dreams anyone?
The only thing that made me grumpy was thinking how were they going to top this bash for her third birthday?

Some University District residents having headaches trying to renew parking permits online
Some University District residents have had problems renewing their parking permits online because of a glitch in the city of Columbus' system.
And some, like Olivia Whittier, have avoided that system altogether because of the ongoing issues.
On Tuesday, Whittier went straight to the city's Parking Services office at the impound lot on the South Side for her permit, figuring that it would be less of a hassle, despite the drive.
"I didn't even try online," said Whittier, a 23-year-old Ohio State student who lives on East Norwich Avenue. "I knew it would be difficult."
Christian Casas, 28, who was with Whittier, said that when he tried to log in to the city's site on Wednesday, it told him his account didn't exist.
Those problems may be affecting Ohio State University students and permanent residents alike, said Deb Briner, a spokeswoman for the city's Department of Public Service.
Residential parking permits: Columbus' online renewal system not faring well
It is the first year that University District residential parking permits are being renewed by residents since the neighborhood's parking plan went into effect a year ago. All University District permits now run from Aug. 1 through July 31.
Permit holders may have had issues if they moved from one address in the University District to another but didn’t deactivate their permit from the old address before applying for a new one, Briner said. Parking Services has helped people deactivate their old accounts if that’s the issue, she said.
"If you’re trying to get in there and it's not letting you, it thinks somebody is already holding that permit," she said. "That could be one issue."
"A couple unanticipated glitches like this have occurred due to the unique nature of the University District and the annual turnover of students moving out of and into off-campus housing on residential streets with permit parking," Briner said.
Xenia Palus, who lives on East Northwood Avenue, said that when she tried to renew online last week she chose "select" for the permit , but the box was not live and there was no way to proceed to the next step. She called the city and said a customer service representative told her the issue was not uncommon and that there have been connectivity issues with the site.
Briner said that the system may not have allowed Palus to renew online because she applied before her permit expired.
The vendor is working to resolve issues. In the meantime, she said, Parking Services staff is getting into the system to fix things to allow residents to get their permits online if they’re experiencing a problem.
In the first year of the University District parking plan (2021-2022), Parking Services issued 2,092 permits, Briner said, adding that Parking Services hasn’t tracked the number of residents they have assisted in addressing University District renewal issues.
The third-party vendor handing the permit renewals is Conduent, a New Jersey-based company.

A shipfitter basically puts metal components where they need to be in order to build a ship. They cut and weld metal pieces together in order to build the structure of the ship.
Completing a trade school program or a two-year college program in welding technology is likely required to obtain this position. Some larger organizations provide their own training programs to teach welding to new employees.
Demand for these positions will be dependent upon geographic location. Areas with shipbuilding organizations will obviously have greater opportunities for this position....but you already know that, don't you! :)

Tips to Improve Eligibility for ICICI Bank Home Loans
Improve your Credit Scores
Although ICICI Bank has not specified the cut-off credit score for their home loan applicants, many lenders consider credit scores as one of the most important filters while setting the home loan eligibility criteria for prospective homeowners. Lenders usually consider credit scores of 750 and above as creditworthy. Thus, home loan applicants having higher credit scores are more likely to get home loan approval on their loan applications. Furthermore, it can also help them get lower home loan interest rates as many banks and HFCs set their interest rates based on their home loan applicants’ credit scores.
Prospective homeowners can maintain or improve their credit scores by following healthy credit practices like repaying their EMIs/credit card dues on time, monitoring loans guaranteed/co-signed by them, avoiding multiple loan or credit card applications within short durations, etc.
Additionally, home loan applicants should also review their credit reports frequently to identify any errors present in these reports and send it to their lenders or credit bureaus for correction. Rectified credit reports enhance the credit score of loan applicants and help improve their home loan eligibility.
Home loan applicants with zero or low credit scores can also avail the Paisabazaar Step UP Credit Card, a lifetime free secured credit card issued by Paisabazaar.com against the fixed deposits of SBM Bank, to maintain or improve their credit scores.
Opt for a Longer Home Loan Tenure
ICICI Bank Home Loans have repayment tenures extending up to 30 years. Banks and HFCs generally approve home loan applications of those individuals whose total EMI obligations, including their proposed home loan EMI, does not exceed 50% – 60% of their total monthly income. Home loan applicants can select longer tenures to reduce their EMI burden, which in turn helps to improve their repayment capacity and increase their chances for home loan approval. Prospective home loan borrowers should also check the EMI calculator for Home Loans to find the optimum home loan tenures and EMIs based on their repayment capacity.
Adding a Co-Applicant
ICICI Bank Home Loan applicants with insufficient monthly/annual income or low credit scores can improve their chances of home loan approval by adding a co-borrower. Doing so makes the co-applicant responsible for timely loan repayments, which in turn reduces the credit risk for the lender offering home loans. Many lenders allow home loan applicants to add close family members as co-applicants.
Adequate Funds for Down Payment
ICICI Bank has not disclosed the LTV ratio for home loans. However, RBI has restricted banks and HFCs providing home loans to finance up to 90% for home loans of up to Rs. 30 Lakhs, up to 80% for home loans of above Rs. 30 Lakhs and up to Rs. 75 Lakhs & up to 75% for home loans above Rs. 75 Lakhs. The home loan applicant has to arrange the remaining component through down payment or margin contribution. As higher down payment lowers the credit risk for home loan lenders, applicants can improve their chances of home loan approval by making higher down payments.

Evidence suggests that individuals with preexisting health concerns may be more susceptible to becoming seriously ill from the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Such co-morbidities include existing respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and immune function. A recent report found that Mississippi and many other southern states had among the highest rates of pre-existing conditions that could contribute to COVID19 complications. Within Mississippi, health outcomes vary spatially. To anticipate where there may be the greatest potential for Mississippians to become seriously ill from COVID-19, we developed a health risk index for each county.

[EDITORIALS]Enough of the revolutionAt an event organized by civic groups, including his personal fan club Nosamo, to celebrate his first anniversary in office, President Roh Moo-hyun said, “The civil revolution is not over yet, and it will continue.” Leaving aside the issue of whether it was appropriate for the president to attend such an event at all, Mr. Roh’s statement leaves much to be desired.
Just what did the president mean by “civil revolution,” and for whom is this “civil revolution” intended? What has happened in our society over the last year? The youth unemployment rate is 8 percent and the economic growth rate is less than 3 percent. Firms seem to have lost any desire to invest and there are nearly 4 million credit delinquents in our country today. Are these trends the “civil revolution” that President Roh is referring to? Is he telling us that such confusion and social unrest will persist through next year’s general elections?
The comment President Roh made regarding the “four rates” was also inappropriate. The president evaluated himself and his supporters as being second rate while the opposition parties are of a lower fourth rate.
It was also ridiculous that the president blamed the opposition groups for his illegal campaign funds. The president hinted that he had no choice but to spread a little bit of money around because the Grand National Party candidate was spreading so much around.
Is this the real level of the ethics of our present government that the president so boasted of? A year ago, more than 10 million people put their hopes in Mr. Roh and voted him in as president. Many who hadn’t voted for him still hoped after the election that President Roh would bring true change and reform to this country. However, the only changes that the president has brought about are the “civil revolution,” mobilizing Nosamo, and the rampant strife and side-taking over the last year. Now, the president is instigating his supporters to repeat all that for the general elections. The people did not vote for Mr. Roh to lead such a revolution. President Roh must decide whether he will be the leader of Nosamo or the president.

Council talks water fund issues, charter
STEUBENVILLE – City Council members Tuesday night informally backed a proposed water fund budget that will include no layoffs and instructed City Manager Cathy Davison to aggressively market city water for sale to oil and gas drilling operators.
Sixth Ward Councilman and Finance Committee Chairman David Lalich said Tuesday night council will introduce a balanced budget ordinance at next week’s council sunshine meeting and vote on the legislation the following week.
The city must submit a balanced budget to the state by the end of the month.
Davison had offered council two options including laying off a utility billing operator, a meter reader and an assistant water plant operator effective April 1.
But during the finance committee meeting, council members indicated they preferred the second option with no layoffs that could result in an $184,760 year-end deficit.
“In order to avoid laying off additional employees, I recommend we meet with the Rural Community Assistance Program representatives to ask them to look at restructuring our water rates. They will be available to meet with us on April 2. They may recommend raising our water rates or restructuring our water rates,” stated Davison.
According to Finance Director Alyssa Kerker, RCAP may recommend city water customers pay a base charge and then pay for only the water usage.
“It could be a smaller bill for those customers who use less than 2,000 gallons a month but could be a larger bill for the customers who use larger amounts of water. RCAP will provide different options and we anticipate they will have a prepared analysis by early June. RCAP is looking at a three-year rate program. Once we have our new water meter program in place, we can look at our rates again,” said Kerker.
“I don’t believe any company that bids on our new meters will guarantee us the revenue from those meters. We need to do something about collecting on our delinquent water accounts,” said Lalich.
“I have no problem with RCAP coming in. But we also have $160,000 in delinquent accounts. You are the city manager. You need to get this done. Alyssa can only do so much. We need an answer to this tomorrow. We can bring in all the new water meters we want and change the rate structure, but if we can’t collect on the water bills, why bother,” stated 2nd Ward Councilman Rick Perkins.
“We have employees reading meters every month and I find it hard to believe they didn’t tell a supervisor that some meters weren’t working. I will not vote for a rate increase to balance the water fund budget,” Perkins added.
Lalich also asked Law Director S. Gary Repella to appeal a federal court order that required the city to create a water review board several years ago to meet with delinquent water customers.
“It takes eight months in order to shut off someone’s water who isn’t paying for it,” said Lalich.
“It still goes back to the same good people who pay their water bills every month. If the water rates are raised it will be the same people paying a higher bill. I agree we should approach the federal government for relief on this court order,” added 3rd Ward Councilman Greg Metcalf.
“In some way we have to sell more water. If we do that it will take care of the water fund deficit. Why not use the old tennis courts to stage the water tanker trucks,” suggested Councilman at large Kenny Davis.
Council already informally agreed to a proposed general fund budget that includes closing the Pleasant Heights fire station and laying off five firefighters.
“I want to commend the fire department. One of our Jefferson Metropolitan Housing Authority houses caught fire this past weekend and the Pleasant Heights firefighters were there within minutes and prevented the house from further fire damage,” stated city resident Sarah DiCarlantonio.
Council also continued discussions regarding the creation of a charter review commission and indicated a resolution will be introduced to start the process.
“I am saying we need to look at different avenues. We are cutting costs in the city and we need to look at changing our government. If you don’t want to look at this that’s fine with me. I would like to start this review this year so we would be ready to take it to the voters in November 2014. I don’t see why we don’t want to do this. The review commission may come back and say to stay with the city manager form of government,” said 5th Ward Councilman Willie Paul.
“I want to do whatever is best for the city of Steubenville. It is ultimately up to the citizens. It is up to the citizens,” noted 1st Ward Councilman Gerald DiLoreto.
During the regular meeting council approved legislation Tuesday night that will see a number of dilapidated condemned structures torn down this spring.
The ordinance declared the buildings to be unsafe and a public nuisance.
“Just a reminder that when a structure is torn down, the lot still belongs to the property owner. The owner is still responsible for the property maintenance. A lien is placed against the property by the city for the cost of the demolition,” explained 4th Ward Councilwoman Angela Suggs.
City resident William Watson suggested council consider changing the city laws to take over houses before they become dilapidated.
“The city could then sell the house to someone who will make the needed repairs and live in the home. We don’t need to totally tear Steubenville down,” said Watson.
Council also approved an ordinance authorizing the city manager to advertise for a total meter replacement program with a revenue guarantee.
In other business during the regular meeting, approval was given to the administration to sign an amended agreement order for judgment with the Ohio attorney general’s office regarding the closure of the former city landfill near the Jefferson County airpark. And in conjunction with that legislation, council approved an ordinance authorizing the city manager to advertise for bids for the construction of two wetlands at the former city landfill to meet Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements.
Paul voted against both ordinances and later said he did not believe the wetlands “need to be built that fast.”
“We need pulsator covers at the water filtration plant. The wetlands can wait,” said Paul.

Do female doctors make less than male doctors?
She points out that, according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, female doctors earn less than their male counterparts, per hour, across almost all specialties, and after correcting for hours worked.
‘I make between 12 and 25% less per hour than my typical male colleague,’ she writes..
Do male doctors make more than female doctors?
Another study published earlier this year found that in their very first jobs after training, male physicians earned about $36,000 more, on average, than their female counterparts.
Is 35 too old to become a doctor?
There is no age limit for medical school. You can become a doctor in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 60s. In the end, medical schools want students who will make good physicians. Age is not a factor.
How often should a woman see a gynecologist?
Women between the ages of 21 and 29 should be visiting their gynecologist every year for a regular exam, as well as in between visits for any issues that arise.
Should I see a gynecologist if I’m not sexually active?
If she is not sexually active, the visit is usually a consultation, where we spend most of the appointment talking about her menstrual cycle and making sure she is maintaining her physical health. A vaginal exam is usually unnecessary.
What type of doctor should a woman see annually?
Visiting the gynecologist A gynecologist is a doctor specializing in the female reproductive organs. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that young women make their first visit for reproductive health between the ages of 13 and 15. Women may visit yearly, or as needed, after that.
What percent of doctors are female?
In the medical profession overall, male doctors still outnumber female doctors, 64 percent to 36 percent, according to 2019 data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. But that may be changing, according to a report from the health-care company AthenaHealth.
Should you choose a female doctor?
Studies show that female doctors tend to listen more, and their patients — both male and female — tend to fare better. Does gender matter when choosing a doctor? Whether your doctor is male or female could be a matter of life or death, a new study suggests.
Why do doctors finger you?
The rectovaginal exam — Your doctor or nurse may also put a gloved finger into your rectum. This checks the muscles between your vagina and your anus. This also checks for tumors behind your uterus, on the lower wall of your vagina, or in your rectum. Some doctors put another finger in your vagina while they do this.
At what age should a woman stop seeing a gynecologist?
Women over age 65 can stop getting screened if they’ve had at least three consecutive negative Pap tests or at least two negative HPV tests within the previous 10 years, according to the guidelines. But women who have a history of a more advanced precancer diagnosis should continue to be screened for at least 20 years.
What type of doctor should I choose for primary care?
There are several different types of doctor that will be identified as a primary care physician – typically Family Practice, Internal Medicine or General Practice. There are also doctors who focus on children, called Pediatricians, who will serve as the primary care physician for your child.
Which type of doctors are best?
Best-Paid DoctorsRadiologists: $315,000.Orthopedic surgeons: $315,000.Cardiologists: $314,000.Anesthesiologists: $309,000.Urologists: $309,000.Gastroenterologists: $303,000.Oncologists: $295,000.Dermatologists: $283,000.More items…•
When should a girl have her first pelvic exam?
These are recommended starting at age 21 for healthy women. But a girl who has problems like heavy bleeding, painful periods, or unusual vaginal discharge might need a pelvic exam sooner.

Joanne Paul on Anne Dowriche and the French Revolution
Joanne Paul talks to Helen about Anne Dowriche. Dowriche was a 16th century writer, usually classified as a pious writer. Joanne casts her instead as a deeply political writer, and explains how her commentaries on the wars of religion were a rare example of political writing from a Tudor woman.

I recently started drinking tea, and I have to say that I have noticed some changes in my body. So, I decided to share with you some of the benefits of drinking tea. Keep in mind that I gathered the information after reading multiple sources.
What do we know about tea? People has been drinking tea for so long, it is very hard to determine who came across the herbal drink first. Many believe that it originated in China. Tea was known as a medicinal drink in China, legend says that Emperor Shen Nung was curious about the aroma of some dried leafs that got into a boiling pot of water and he decided to try it out. He liked it! Then tea was spread all through Europe and people began drinking more and creating new combinations to add a variations of flavors.
Turmeric Tea- anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer cells. In India there is a belief that turmeric helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease. I am currently drinking Turmeric Tea and I have noticed a dramatic change in my skin. My skin is softer and my psoriasis flares are not as dark as they usually are. Now I am going to tell you a little secret. The other day I was fixing dinner, I was working in a marinate for some thick pork chops…after adding all the usual herbs I add to my marinate…I decided to add a couple of bags of the turmeric tea. I was trying to secretly incorporate the tea, so my kids would have some turmeric. It worked! The tea added a nice color to the meat and it also added an extra layer of flavor.
Cardamon Tea-full of antioxidants. Cardamon is also known as an anti-aging kind of tea. It is also beneficial for your skin. The tea is rich in vitamins, anti-microbial agents and minerals. Cardamon tea is also great for your hair, it makes your hair strong and it also prevents your scalp from getting infections. I drink it because it detoxify your body, it helps your immune system. It a strong tea, I drink it, although I am not a fan of the aroma.
Chamomile Tea-great for stomach aches, cramps. Chamomile tea is great for insomnia, it acts like a tranquilizer, helping you ease your mind when its time to go to bed. It is also great for skin inflammation and it helps prevent cancer growth. If you ice your chamomile tea bags you can press the bags against pimples and it helps decrease the swollen and the redness. It is also magnificent for menstrual cramps. My favorite thing about the chamomile tea is that it boost your immune system, which is critical for people who suffer from skin diseases, like psoriasis and eczema.
Green Tea-antioxidants and great for your brain. Epigallocatechin Gallate is a very powerful antioxidant that has been studied to treat various diseases, and that is why green tea is such a powerful tea. The compounds in green tea ca improve brain function. Green tea has been known to assist with weight loss and its been said, that green tea can prevent various types of cancer such as breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer. I like green tea, but I don’t drink it often.
Jasmine Tea- prevention of diseases. Jasmine tea has been known for heart disease prevention as well as diabetes. It also helps your immune system, muscle inflammation and reduce stress. In reducing stress it is also assisting with some secondary symptoms of stress that can harm your internal organs. Jasmine tea is nothing other than Jasmine added to other teas such as white or black tea, to enhance the tea and provide the above mentioned benefits to the consumer.
I purchase my tea on Amazon.com or from TJMaxx or Home Goods. You can find tea anywhere, I choose those three places because they usually have good deals, price wise, and they carry new and different varieties than the ones you can find at grocery stores. One hint I want to give to those picky eaters/drinkers…do not smell the tea!!!! Wait until is cool enough to drink, and do not smell it, just savor it…your savor glands will get use to the different taste and you will find yourself craving some tea. So far I have my husband involved with the tea…we are loving it!

Motor shows reveal the latest and greatest from the motoring world, giving the public the chance to get up close with top-end models, as well as seeing some truly unique concepts that might not ever even hit the road.
September 2019 saw Frankfurt host its most recent event, and there were plenty of new models on display – with one aiming to change the way you think about its cars.
Here are our favourite cars from the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show…
Land Rover Defender
Arguably the star of the whole show, Land Rover finally revealed the replacement for its legendary off-roader. The 2020 Defender arrives 3 years after the old model was discontinued and is set to be as capable as ever.
Sporting a purpose-built aluminium chassis, the new Defender comes with Land Rover’s latest terrain response system. It’s also being offered with a series of design and equipment packs, including an adventure pack which boasts body-mounted panniers, roof rack and a winch.
It’s being offered in 5-door 110 and 3-door 90 body stylesin petrol or diesel from launch, with a plug-in hybrid version available in 2020. The boxy silhouette remains, while there’s plenty of tech to bring the Defender into this century. Prices start from £45,240 for the 110 version.
The German manufacturer sees this model as the start of its third major phase. After the Beetle and the Golf, the all-electric ID.3 is expected to be Volkswagen’s next big thing. Sitting in the compacts category, the ID.3 is built on the VW Group’s new MEB electric platform, which will be used across a series of vehicles.
While only being marginally wider and longer than a Golf, its additional height and lack of a transmission tunnel means the ID.3 is incredibly roomy. Offered with a range up to 342 miles from a motor delivering 148bhp or 201bhp, there will be an ID.3 to suit most drivers.
VW is also making sure that the model is well-equipped. With a steering column-mounted instrument display, the ID.3 is also fitted with a 10-inch central touchscreen as well as a series of driver assists. Although unconfirmed, prices are expected to start around £25,000.
Alpina B3 Touring
Using the practical, touring edition of the BMW 3 Series as the base, manufacturer-certified tuner Alpina has made its latest fast model. Called the B3 Touring, the wagon is fitted with a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, which develops 462bhp and 700Nm of torque.
With a top speed in excess of 186mph, this is the fastest 3 Series Touring you’ll be able to buy. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system, as well as a limited-slip differential for improved cornering.
Design changes have also been made, with quad exhausts, exclusive alloy wheels and a sporty body kit. Prices haven’t been revealed yet and order books will open in the first quarter of 2020.
Audi RS 7 Sportback
After revealing the RS 6 Avant earlier this month, Audi has taken the covers off its next RS model. Based on the A7 Sportback, the RS 7 features a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which develops 592bhp and 800Nm of torque.
When you aren’t going hell for leather, Audi has also included a mild-hybrid system to help save fuel. But when you are, the RS 7 can reach a top speed of 189mph with the Dynamic Package Plus.
It also comes with leather sports seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, custom driving modes, a sportier design and two oval exhaust pipes. Official pricing hasn’t been released, with models set to arrive in the UK early in 2020.
The prototype version of the e was revealed back at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. And although the production model is almost identical, we now know what the small EV is set to cost. Starting from £26,160, the Honda e comes with a 100kW battery pack and an electric motor that develops 134bhp.
But the advancement isn’t just on the powertrain. The e doesn’t have conventional door mirrors, with cameras used instead. The rest of dashboard is mainly screens too, with 5 used for all the main vehicle functions.
With a range of up to 136 miles, the Honda e can’t go as far as some of its rivals, but the city-focused model comes with great styling and is set to be a favourite with urban drivers.


Curiosity Killed the Cat at the Havering Show
The band which had several top 10 hits and a number one album in the 1980’s will be playing live for the festival goers on Sunday 26 August.
We talked to Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot, the band’s lead singer who told us he’ll be bringing “a certain light-hearted funky fresh vibe!”
Ben’s best memories from back in the 80’s include gigging around London's clubs and parties which eventually landed the band a record deal that lead to working with Director Andy Warhol on their first video clip shot in New York.
We asked what he most looks forward to about appearing in the show this year.
‘I’m most looking forward to meeting everyone! And during an event like the Havering show I can actually see the crowd I'm performing to! I also plan to hang around after performance to meet and greet people.”
Can we look forward to hearing all the original hits?
“Down to Earth always demands a good response, although Name and Number is great for the introduction and causes a bit of a debate!”

Plans to open the first Taco Bell restaurant in Newcastle city centre have run into trouble, amid police fears that drunken patrons could aggravate crime and anti-social behaviour problems.
The popular Mexican fast food chain is hoping to move into the former Poundworld unit in Grainger Street, adding to another planned site near the Metrocentre.
However, city police chiefs have warned that the proposal could result in more late-night crime in the city centre.
Taco Bell wants to open until 1.30am and sell alcohol from 10am to 1am every day and the site will have its fate decided by a Newcastle City Council licensing sub-committee next Tuesday.
In an objection sent to the council, Chief Inspector Dave Pickett said: "The premises is situated within the Cumulative Impact Special Stress Area as defined within the Newcastle City Council Statement of Licensing Policy where there is a saturated number of licenced premises nearby mostly consisting of vertical drinking establishments and hot food takeaways.
"These premises see a high number of incidents due to intoxicated patrons becoming involved as either a victim or perpetrator of crime and disorder.
"The area in which the premises in situated becomes extremely busy within the night time economy where people loiter as they purchase hot food and wait for taxis.
"The subsequent noise, disorder and anti-social behaviour due to clientele attracted to the area at that time of night causes a negative impact on the area. An additional premises offering bar and takeaway facilities would encourage users of the night time economy to remain in the area potentially increasing the opportunity for incidents to occur.
"Northumbria Police believe if the premises licence is to be granted the licensing objective of crime and disorder will be undermined."
The council has this week granted planning permission for the former Poundworld shop to be converted into a restaurant and takeaway, but it will be down to councillors to decide whether to grant a premises licence.
Jonathan Bryce, head of the council's licensing authority, has also objected to the plans, but Taco Bell says that the site "will not create a public nuisance".
It is understood that talks are ongoing with the applicant ahead of the licensing hearing.
In its licence application to the council, Middlesex-based Taco Bell franchisee Northgate Fast Food Ltd, said: "Please note that the sale of alcohol will be very much ancillary to the principal activity of the premises as being a fast food Mexican restaurant.
"Stringent management controls in terms of staff training and re-training, the operation of Challenge 21, the maintenance of an incident and refusals record will seek to ensure that the premises will operate with a high standard of management and will not create a public nuisance or result in additional crime, disorder or anti-social behaviour in the area or otherwise undermine the licensing objectives.
"The applicant already operates similar premises within Sheffield, Barnsley, Nottingham, and Leeds."
Taco Bell's plans to open at the former Frankie and Benny's site in Clasper Way, near the Metrocentre, hit a similar snag when they came before Gateshead Council earlier this year.
However, the objections were dropped when Northgate Fast Food Ltd agreed not to sell alcohol after midnight.

It is hard to believe, but it has been a full YEAR with Andy in our lives!
I have been holding onto this story for a while – guarding it with my Mama Bear paws. This innate desire to protect my child is not unique to me. However, through this parenthood journey I have found that my most vulnerable moments have lead to my most powerful connections. I have decided to lean into this discomfort and embrace what comes out of it. Continue reading “Andy’s Journey”
As you all know from Andy’s Birth Story (and other musings), I’m still trying to “get to know” my postpartum body. I can’t sew as fast as I’d like, but I’m working to build a wardrobe that makes me feel good…and I’m excited to say I finally finished making my first piece of clothing post-baby!

The fusion is accomplished when the graft material placed between the two bones of a motion segment induces bony incorporation on both sides and heals them together as one bone. This eliminates motion but also hopefully reduces the pain from that segment of the spine.
Bone Graft Types
There are a number of different types of bone grafts that can be used for spinal fusion:
- Synthetic bone graft substitutes (man made)
- Allograft (cadaver bone from a bone bank)
- Autograft (bone graft taken from the patient’s own body).
Bone graft material can be morselized into small pieces or used as larger pieces for structural purposes to help achieve a spinal fusion.
What Is Bone Graft Site Morbidity?
Graft site morbidity refers to any consequences that result from the harvesting of the patient's own bone (an autograft). Undesirable side effects and complications that can result from the bone graft harvesting procedure include early post-operative pain, chronic pain, scarring, bleeding, infection, and more.
In spinal fusion surgery the most common site for obtaining autograft bone is from the portion of the pelvis called the iliac crest - the boney prominence around the belt-line of the hip. The bone graft can be harvested from the front (anterior iliac crest) or from the back (posterior iliac crest) of the pelvis. The ilium is also a source for harvesting bone marrow aspirate, which contains cells that serve to stimulate bone formation.
The incidence of donor site pain, or pain related to bone graft harvesting for spinal fusion, varies greatly and has been reported to persist for over 3 months in 2.8% to 39% of patients. Pain lasting for up to 2 years has been reported in 15% to 39% of patients.1,2

Biological soft tissues are viscoelastic because they display timeindependent pseudoelasticity and time-dependent viscosity. However, there is evidence that the bladder may also display plasticity, defined as an increase in strain that is unrecoverable unless work is done by the muscle. In the present study, an electronic lever was used to induce controlled changes in stress and strain to determine whether rabbit detrusor smooth muscle (rDSM) is best described as viscoelastic or viscoelastic plastic. Using sequential ramp loading and unloading cycles, stress-strain and stiffness-stress analyses revealed that rDSM displayed reversible viscoelasticity, and that the viscous component was responsible for establishing a high stiffness at low stresses that increased only modestly with increasing stress compared with the large increase produced when the viscosity was absent and only pseudoelasticity governed tissue behavior. The study also revealed that rDSM underwent softening correlating with plastic deformation and creep that was reversed slowly when tissues were incubated in a Ca2+ -containing solution. Together, the data support a model of DSM as a viscoelastic-plastic material, with the plasticity resulting from motor protein activation. This model explains the mechanism of intrinsic bladder compliance as "slipping" cross bridges, predicts that wall tension is dependent not only on vesicle pressure and radius but also on actomyosin cross-bridge activity, and identifies a novel molecular target for compliance regulation, both physiologically and therapeutically.

Lawmaker looks to take VCs out of InvestMaryland equation
- Staff Washington Business Journal
A state delegate from Calvert County wants to cut venture capital firms and the Maryland Venture Fund Authority out of the 2-year-old InvestMaryland program, the Baltimore Business Journal reported.
Del. Mark Fisher, R-Calvert County, introduced a bill in the House of Delegates on Feb. 1 that would revamp the program that invests in startup businesses around the state. Under Fisher’s bill, Invest Maryland’s entire $84 million in funding would be distributed instead to the economic development agency for each county and for Baltimore. That would mark a big change to the way the money is doled out now under InvestMaryland, which was signed into law by Gov. Martin O’Malley in 2011.

Doctor who tried to warn people about coronavirus has died.
The Chinese doctor who was one of the original whistleblowers on coronavirus has died, according to the New York Times, the Washington Post and ABC News. Earlier in the day, Wuhan City Central Hospital, where Li Wenliang was being treated, said on the Chinese social media site Weibo that doctors there were trying to save him.
The 34-year-old initially made news after he was punished by Wuhan police for alerting people about coronavirus in its early stages. Michael Ryan, PhD, the executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program, shared his condolences on Twitter. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate work that he did on #2019nCoV,” he wrote.
Li spoke out earlier this week about his treatment by the Chinese government in the aftermath of warning colleagues on WeChat (a Chinese messaging app) about coronavirus before the Chinese government announced the outbreak was happening. Li was reportedly accused by Wuhan police of spreading rumors and rebuked for "spreading rumors online" and "severely disrupting social order.”
Li said in an interview with CNN that he was scared he was going to be arrested. "My family would worry sick about me, if I lose my freedom for a few days," he said. He reportedly had to sign a statement that acknowledged he committed a misdemeanor and promised not to commit further "unlawful acts." He tested positive for the coronavirus on Feb. 1 after unknowingly treating a patient who had it.
Coronavirus has now infected 28,353 people worldwide and caused 565 deaths, according to data gathered by Johns Hopkins University.
The news of Li’s severe illness raises a lot of new questions about coronavirus.

[The Lord] blesses the home of the righteous. Proverbs 3:33, N.I.V.
The Word of God should be judiciously brought to bear upon ... youthful minds, and be their standard of rectitude, correcting their errors, enlightening and guiding their minds, which will be far more effectual in restraining and controlling the impulsive temperament than harsh words, which will provoke to wrath....
A sunny countenance and cheerful, encouraging words will brighten the poorest home, and be as a talisman to guard the father and the children from the many temptations that allure them from the love of home....
But the work of making home happy does not rest upon the mother alone. Fathers have an important part to act. The husband is the house-band of the home treasures, binding by his strong, earnest, devoted affection the members of the household, mother and children, together in the strongest bonds of union. It is for him to encourage, with cheerful words, the efforts of the mother in rearing her children.
The mother seldom appreciates her own work, and frequently sets so low an estimate upon her labor that she regards it as domestic drudgery. She goes through the same round day after day, week after week, with no special marked results. She cannot tell, at the close of the day, the many little things she has accomplished. Placed beside her husband's achievement, she feels that she has done nothing worth mentioning.
The father frequently comes in with a self-satisfied air, and proudly recounts what he has accomplished during the day....She has not done much except take care of the children, cook the meals, and keep the house in order. She has not acted the merchant, bought nor sold; she has not acted the farmer, in tilling the soil; she has not acted the mechanic—therefore she has done nothing to make her weary....
Could the veil be withdrawn, and father and mother see as God sees the work of the day, and see how His infinite eye compares the work of the one with that of the other, they would be astonished at the heavenly revelation. The father would view his labors in a more modest light, while the mother would have new courage and energy to pursue her labor with wisdom, perseverance, and patience.
Now she knows its value. While the father has been dealing with the things which must perish and pass away, the mother has been dealing with developing minds and character, working, not only for time, but for eternity. Her work, if done faithfully in God, will be immortalized.—The Signs of the Times, September 13, 1877.

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, October 3, 2019
The term “buffer zone” in land and at sea is used for land and sea areas, which were unilaterally and illegally declared by Israeli forces as areas with no access along the eastern and northern borders and in the Gaza Strip sea following the Israeli Disengagement Plan in 2005. In violation of the provisions of the international humanitarian law, the Gaza Strip’s population are denied access to their property in the “buffer zone” in land while the fishermen are prevented from sailing and fishing in the “buffer zone” at sea.
Field updates from the buffer zone indicate that Israeli forces have escalated their attacks against the Palestinian civilians, including farmers and fishermen, and prevented them from safe and free access to their lands and fishing areas.
This constitutes a violation of their rights according to the international human rights standards, including their right to security, personal safety and protection of their property, their right to work, the right to adequate standard of living, and the right to the highest attainable standard of health…

If you need to travel for an extended period, but you have a pet, you may be wondering what your options are. Pet boarding and pet sitting are popular solutions for dog and cat owners, but which should you choose?
Pet boarding is the most common option chosen by pet owners who do not want to leave their pets alone at home. It has something of an undeserved bad reputation at the moment, because of images of steel runs, concrete kennels, and clinical plastic cages. Today, that has changed, and pet boarding tends to take place in fun ‘pet hotels’ with rather nice amenities.
These days, your beloved dog can lounge in a cozy cot and play on a plexi-glass run, watching Dog-friendly TV. There are pet-safe pools, massage spas, and supervised doggy play dates. Cats can play with lasers or catnip, and then lounge in a relaxing environment with plush perches, a CCTV ‘fish tank’ and the sounds of the great outdoors. There are even pet shuttles to take your pet to the hotel, and then back home again once you’re back from your own travels. Your pet’s holiday could end up being even more fun than yours!
Pet sitting is a relatively new concept, and it’s more high-end in some ways because it involves the dogs and cats being entertained in the homes of the sitters, rather than in the boarding house. This means that there are more challenges since the dogs and cats will need one on one attention. You’ll find this kind of social boarding is more common with dogs (that tend to be quite sociable), than it is for cats.
Boarding alternatives can vary massively when it comes to price, depending on the level of service that you are looking for. If your dog needs a lot of one on one attention then they will want add-ons that will increase the price. Those who just need to be fed, walked and a little supervision during play are considered pretty low maintenance and will be happy even with lower-end sitting services.
If you are worried about your pet’s health, or they have complex needs, then you might want them to stay in a veterinary facility that offers boarding services. This can be a good choice in some cases, but it is more of a sterile environment, and the people providing the care to the dogs and cats tend to be over-worked and focusing more on the surgical cases and those with medical needs. Unless your pet actually needs medical attention, you probably will find that they will have a better time, and be better looked after, in a non-veterinary boarding facility.
Remember that your pet is likely to be quite stressed out while you are away from home. Cats dislike being outside of their normal environment and dogs will miss you too. Fear and timidity are common, and you might notice that your pet loses weight during its stay. There may be some risk of self-injury if they find themselves very nervous or scared, and altercations with other stressed out pets can happen even in a good, responsible boarding facility.
Pet Sitting Services
For this reason, a lot of people opt for pet sitting instead of boarding. Pet sitting can vary from a sitter that visits your home while you are away to feed and walk the pet and attend to other biological functions, or ones that will actually live in your home to provide companionship.
Pet sitting can vary in cost but tends to be around the same as boarding, although pet sitters tend not to charge for amenities. Pets are usually much happier in their own homes so the ‘added extras’ that come with boarding are usually unnecessary. Feeding a live-in sitter might be an extra expense, but it is still usually less than you would pay for a proper boarding facility.
Some pets, especially clingy ones, can become stressed when they are in their own home because they miss you and your family. The signs of stress that are seen during in-home sitting are usually far milder than the ones you would see in a boarding facility because the environment is more relaxing.
Pet sitting has other benefits, too. The sitter will act as a deterrent and stop the ’empty home’ signals such as a build-up of mail and news that would normally attract potential burglars. A live-in sitter makes your home look occupied, because it is, albeit by a different person to normal.
Many pet sitters are happy to offer other services such as watering the plants, for only a nominal fee. A live-in sitter will be caring for your pet, and yours alone, so they will be more likely to spot signs of ill health should your pet fall unwell, and you can be confident that your pet will see a vet in a timely fashion. You have less to worry about in terms of anxiety and separation stress too.
A company such as Animals at Home can help with almost every aspect of owning a pet, including housesitting, pet boarding, and when the sad time comes, pet cremation.

Dr. Jonas Ravn has a MSc in biotechnology from Copenhagen University and an Industrial PhD. from Novozymes and the Department of Bacteriology & Pathology at Ghent University, Belgium. Here, he developed, characterized and applied new bacterial and fungal xylanases to quantify their gut health effect in broiler chickens. He has now transferred to yeast research and the aim of his project is to identify yeast species that can break down xylan and characterize new xylanolytic enzymes with unique properties. Ultimately, this may lead to new cell factories and industrially relevant enzymes in the production of biofuels and biochemicals.

Great Wall Of China
By: Sydney Smetzer
Who Built The Great Wall Of China
The main part of the wall was constructed by China's first emperor Qing Shi Huang, as a protection against the barbarians in the north. Construction of the Great Wall started in the 7th century B.C. The vassal states under the Chou Dynasty in the northern parts of the country each built their own walls for defense purposes. The people who made the after the state of Chin unified China in 221 B.C. it joined the walls to hold off the invaders from the Tsongnoo tribes in the north and extended them to more than 5,000 kilometers.
When Did They Build The Great Wall of China?
China's Great Wall didn't start out so great. The Wall began nearly 2,300 years ago, the structure was a series of small fortifications. The history of the Great Wall was built over hundreds of years ago. The Great Wall was made in 476 B.C. to 770 B.C.
What Did The Warriors Do When The Enemies Came To The Great Wall?
To provide a communication and early warning system from one watchtower to another using fire signals at night and smoke signals during the day. Messages could be sent over long distances in a short time. The warriors would light the fires so all of China would know the enemies were here. That is why they would light the fire.
Where Did The Great Wall Of China Start?
The Great Wall of China started in Hushan in Liaoning Province. The Great Wall was built over thousands of years, the wall stretches over 8,851 kilometers (5,500 miles). The wall begins in the Hushan in Liaoning Province in the east and travels across China.
How did They Build the Great Wall of China?
The workers used the "Hang- Tu" method, wood is used to make a frame. Dirt is pounded in and beaten, so no air remains. Making it, so it won't be destroyed by swords or spears. The wood frame is then removed. That is how they made the Great Wall of China.

Over the past few years, mobile payment technology has rolled out to consumers slowly but surely. Likewise, widespread adoption of these payment platforms has ticked up at a low but steady rate. As a consequence of what is an encouraging trend, there are now efforts underway to boost that kind of adoption to an even more rapid pace.
One of the ways in which the payments industry as a whole is moving to deal with the rate of adoption for mobile payment platforms is by focusing in on promoting it more heavily, according to the U.S. Payments Forum. That entity, which oversees a number of aspects of the payments ecosystem, recently announced the Contactless Payments Working Committee as a means of looking for ways to better get the word out about the benefits of mobile for both consumers and merchants.
What will it look like?
In much the same way as previous efforts to boost EMV adoption relied heavily on making connections with cardholders and retailers, so too will the mobile initiative, the report said. That includes holding seminars and workshops, releasing white papers and infographics, and seeking input from all involved. The hope is that by doing so, the retail industry as a whole will be able to make mobile payment use more ubiquitous than it already has been.
“Just as we are doing with the U.S. EMV chip migration, our goal as an organization is to provide concrete, usable guidance to make new and emerging payment technologies a reality in the U.S.,” said Randy Vanderhoof, director of the U.S. Payments Forum. “With the U.S. Payments Forum being the only forum bringing together all the payments industry stakeholders including merchants, issuers and the mobile community, the Mobile and Contactless Working Committee is uniquely positioned to develop implementation guidance and help the payments industry to be better equipped to implement contactless payment technologies.”
Is it already working?
However, it’s worth noting that many experts already see positive trends in mobile adoption, according to Business Insider Intelligence. Already, total in-store payment volume on mobile platforms is projected to have more than doubled from 2015 to this year, and that’s a trend that should continue for the next several years. By 2020, the total value of those purchases could reach about $503 billion, up from only about $75 billion this year, meaning a compound annual growth rate of about 80 percent during that time.
Part of this adoption effort includes readiness among merchants to take on point-of-sale devices capable of accepting mobile payments, but a large number have already done so. For that reason, those who have made the switch already might be wise to promote their capabilities a little more heavily than they have, and those who aren’t caught up yet may want to consider the benefits of doing so as soon as possible. The more that can be done to get both consumers and merchants on board as soon as possible, the safer the payments ecosystem will be going forward.Back To Blog

PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) November 09, 2017
An inventor from Nanuet, N.Y., has developed the CORATOLO OPTICS, a newly designed pin sight for hunting bows. It would allow a hunter to more accurately calculate his distance to his target, particularly if his target was moving.
"I developed my invention to make hunting easier. It allows hunters to make the perfect shot. Distance to a target can be easily calculated, even if it's moving," said the inventor. The CORATOLO OPTICS enables a hunter to shoot arrows more accurately and confidently, which will enhance performance in the field. It allows hunters to produce quick, clean and ethical kills. In addition, it eliminates the need for a sportsman to use a separate range finder.
The original design was submitted to the Hackettstown office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-HAK-731, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Label: Fastball Music Release date: 11-09-2020
Crown of Glory is a Swiss formation that makes Melodic Metal. The band has been around for quite some years. This year the guys are releasing the album “Ad Infinitum”. It is their third full-length album.
Must be said the band gives an instantly easy listening vibe when you start the album. It has a lot of catchiness which makes it very simple to adapt to. But luckily the guys have found a balance in it too. Not overdoing all these melodics to give in on some heaviness for example.
If you look at the tracklist some of these tracks would be a big crowdpleaser in any live situation. “Let’s Have A Blast” brings the right mood for that.
In a track like “Glorious Nights” they switch a bit in what they do, making it a bit more intense. And in contrast to that they included a ballad on this release. “Surrender” is as a ballad a nice break in the tracklist but is maybe a bit too much cliché for it to stand out.
Altogether Crown of Glory succeeded in making a pleasant album to listen to. The band took their time to think it through and this resulted in good compositions that cheer up the day a bit.
