Top 10 Concerts of 2018 - #4 - Janelle Monáe
Top 10 Concerts of 2018 - #4
Janelle Monáe – Summerfest – Milwaukee, WI – July 6th 2018
Show #4 on the list is an artist whose live show is an impressive display of art and music and that is Janelle Monáe. Monáe headlined a set at Milwaukee's Summerfest, a giant twelve-day music festival with hundreds of artists, back in July in support of her Grammy-nominated album "Dirty Computer". Monáe is a dynamic live performer and this showed in her performance as she used dancers, multiple costume changes and impressive set designs to highlight songs off her 2018 album.
The late Prince helped Monáe on this album and the influences shined through on songs such as "Make me Feel", "Take a Byte" and "Screwed". Her live performance was invigorating, and you could tell Prince had influenced in more aspects than just music. She performed a dance break before "Make me Feel" and "Purple Rain" accompanied the outro of her song "PrimeTime". Also her outfits fit the feel and design of the show perfectly.
Monáe is an electrifying live performer and could be a Grammy winner when all is said and done next year. If you get the chance, check her out. Her show is hard to describe, you kind of just have to see it to see the spectacle and experience the energy.
Come back soon for show #3 in the Top 10 Concerts of 2018!

Tapping the brakes at Fulton Market
Unrestrained development is just as bad as no development. And it's fair to worry that the scales are beginning to tip in the wrong direction within this historic neighborhood.
Crain's Editorial Board
Antwon McMullen/Alamy Stock Photo
Since Crain's launched in 1978, we have had a front-row seat to the extraordinary transformation of Chicago's Loop and the neighborhoods—some of them industrial, some pockmarked with vacant lots—that encircle it.
By the late 1970s, artists and creatives began to reclaim the abandoned warehouses north of the Chicago River and, rebranded as "River North," the neighborhood became a magnet for galleries, design studios and ad agencies and a hub of dining and night life. At about the same time, developers rethinking acres of former Dearborn Station rail yards created Dearborn Park, which, along with the refurbishment of the old Printer's Row, heralded the beginning of the South Loop development phenomenon that's still underway today. By the 1990s, the Lakeshore East area skirting the northern edge of Millennium Park was being built, an entirely new neighborhood above the former Illinois Central Railroad yards. Along the way, the Loop itself underwent a historic metamorphosis. A business district that once welcomed office workers from 9 to 5, only to become a ghost town by night, had been recast into a true residential neighborhood in every sense of the word, with condos, apartments, restaurants, theaters and shopping.
This would be Fulton Market's biggest project yet
Fulton Market: Too much of a good thing?
The forces that reshaped the Loop have since marched westward, with high-rise office towers springing up along Wacker Drive to accommodate commuters eager for proximity to the West Loop's Metra hubs. It was perhaps inevitable, then, that the development wave would jump the river and eventually the Kennedy Expressway, as the neighborhood where Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios once stood out as a pioneer of sorts beckoned with its swaths of open space and rows of funky old butcher and grocery wholesaler warehouses.
Today, that neighborhood—Fulton Market—is unquestionably the hottest development spot in Chicago, and perhaps even in the Midwest. Real estate investors have poured billions of dollars into what was once a quiet enclave of restaurants and the suppliers who served them. High-rises are cropping up where low-slung brick warehouses once stood. McDonald's calls Fulton Market home now. Google runs its Midwest operations there. That's about as corporate as a neighborhood can get.
Andrew Mooney, commissioner of the Department of Planning & Development for Mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel from 2010 to 2015, argues forcefully in a Jan. 13 Crain's guest op-ed that there now may be too much development underway in the Fulton Market District—or at least too much density.
What prompted Mooney to write was Crain's reporter Alby Gallun's Jan. 12 exclusive: Chicago developer Fulton Street Cos. is set to unveil plans for a $600 million mixed-use project at 1200 W. Fulton St., a proposal that would be the biggest real estate development to date in the fast-growing neighborhood. That project would include 500 apartments, 200 hotel rooms in a roughly 50-story tower, a 500,000-square-foot office building and a 10-story building catering to life sciences companies. At 600 feet, that 50-story tower would be taller than any building completed or under construction in the district, though there are plenty of projects in play that are fairly close to it in scale. Related Midwest, for one, is building a 43-story tower at 900 W. Randolph St., and Fulton Street Cos. itself is also building a 34-story tower just across the street from the project it plans at 1200 W. Fulton.
Mooney points out that key to the revitalization of Fulton Market were steps previous administrations took to promote investment while, through landmarking, protecting the historical assets that formed the core of the area's identity. He notes that most developers have planned and built responsibly, taking the historic character of the district into consideration. But, with requests for zoning changes and giant tower plans in the offing, the scales of development are beginning to tip in the wrong direction.
The underlying traffic, transportation and utility infrastructure of the district, Mooney notes, are pretty much unchanged from a hundred years ago. While congestion in Fulton Market hasn't yet reached the nightmare proportions often seen, for instance, in the North and Clybourn corridor, it won't take much more density to approach that level.
Let's be clear that Crain's continues to be a champion of smart development that upholds Chicago's tradition of thinking big. With so many high-rise proposals on the drawing boards for Fulton Market, now is a good moment to consider what a future Chicago will look like. The local aldermen and the Lightfoot administration's city planners must continue to take congestion, density and the character of the Fulton Market District into consideration as they review and approve new projects for the area. That might mean saying no to certain massive developments in favor of others of a more moderate, creative and sustainable scale. It means striking a balance: There's obviously demand for Fulton Market real estate, or developers wouldn't be so eager to build there. The city simply needs to be sure it's taking both developers' and the community's needs into consideration. Even those of us who don't live and work in the Fulton Market District have a stake in the city getting this right.

The Throne Clones: Royal Family Look-Alikes Photo Wall

You may think that Princess Beatrice has her mother's hair and her father's face.

However, it turns out that Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's daughter bears a unique resemblance to her great-great-great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria.

Prince William's regal appearance can be traced back to the 14th century.
As you can see, he shares the same nose and eyes as his 21 times great-grandfather King Edward I.
Do you see this resemblance? Prince Charles bares a shell-shocking likeness to Edward VII, who was the owner of Prince of Wales title before ascending the king's throne in 1901.
Публикация от Pursuit of old Passions (@pursuit_of_old_passions) 25 Апр 2018 в 11:24 PDT
Not only expression but also the eyes and nose of Edward VII were passed to his great-great-grandson, Prince Charles.

Lord Freddie Windsor, who's 27th in line to the throne, has as poor chances of getting a crowning moment as his great-grandfather Louis Frederick, who died at the age of 44 with none of his royal ambitions fulfilled.
#FrederickWindsor #britweek2015 @britweek
Публикация от RealTVfilms (@realtvfilms) 24 Апр 2015 в 4:06 PDT
Needless to say, Freddie Windsor has the same eyes as his ancestor.
Jean-Étienne Liotard [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
Prince Michael of Kent, Freddie's dad and Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, also has that bearing - right down to the large beard, which is just the same as that of his grandfather - King George's V.
The King ruled the UK in the times of WWI and he died in 1936.
Queen Elizabeth II bears a remarkable resemblance to Queen Mary, who saw both her granddaughter Elizabeth and her son King George VI ascend the throne before she died in 1953.
Bain News Service, via Wikimedia Commons
Can you guess who else bears a shocking similarity to Queen Mary?
A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) on Feb 19, 2018 at 6:29am PST
Of course, it's Prince Harry, whose blue eyes and red hair were inherited from his great-great-grandmother, Queen Mary.

Prince Edward has resembles George VI.
From his deep-set eyes to his thoughtful gaze, Queen Elizabeth II's youngest son is all the spitting image of his grandfather.
Lady Louise Windsor, who turned 15 years old in 2018, bears a shocking resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II.
It seems like she's the mini 21st-century version of her famous granny!
As you can see, these royals are from different generations, but they share a striking likeness because royal genes always run their course. Tell us what do you think of this matching up and suggest your own look-alikes in royal history!

US: Colin Kaepernick says he has received death threats
San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick says death threats were made since he began to protest during the national anthem.
San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick says that he has received death threats over his refusal to stand for the US national anthem as the killing of an unarmed black man in Oklahoma sparked new public outrage.
NFL: Kaepernick's anthem snub draws mixed reaction in the US
Kaepernick has staged a silent boycott of The Star-Spangled Banner anthem during 49ers games, pointedly sitting out or kneeling during renditions of the song rather than standing as is customary.
The 28-year-old football star says he is protesting racial inequality and injustice in the United States, including the actions of law enforcement towards minorities.
Kaepernick told reporters on Tuesday that he had received death threats, including through social media, since starting his protest.
"If something like that were to happen, you've proved my point", said Kaepernick when asked about the possibility of the threats being acted upon.
"It'll be loud and clear why it happened," he said.

The quarterback said that he had anticipated the backlash before he embarked on his protest.

"I knew there were other things that came along with this when I first stood up and spoke about it. It's not something I haven't thought about," he said.
Kaepernick said the killing on Friday of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher by police in Tulsa was emblematic of the issues he is protesting against.
"This is a perfect example of what this is about," Kaepernick told reporters.
"It will be very telling about what happens to the officer that killed him. They shot and killed a man and walked around like it wasn't a human being," he added.
OPINION: Black Lives Matter and Palestine - A historic alliance
Meanwhile, former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch showed support for Kaepernick's protest on Conan O'Brien's late night talk show on Tuesday.
"With what's going on, I'd rather see him take a knee than stand up," he said during an appearance on the show.
Kaepernick also won backing from 49ers legend Jerry Rice, who had initially criticised the quarterback's protests.
I support @Kaepernick7 for bringing awareness for injustice !!!! As Americans we all have rights! Im hoping we all come together#solution
— Jerry Rice (@JerryRice) September 20, 2016
Social media users also showed support for the footballer, and expressed anger at the latest police shooting of a black man.
If you're outraged at Kaepernick for taking a knee but not by cops shooting unarmed citizens, YOU are part of the problem #KeithLamontScott

While you were busy questioning Colin Kaepernick's patriotism, the police murdered #TerenceCrutcher on his way home from college.
— Sean Kent (@seankent) September 20, 2016
Kaepernick said that he plans to start a website soon to track a donation of $1m he will make to organisations supporting the cause of racial equality.
He said that he will donate $100,000 a month for 10 months once he has vetted organisations to determine which deserve his donations.

Summer is the absolute perfect time to go camping. But one of the least exciting parts of camping is packing for your trip. You need to pack gear for cooking, sleeping, hiking, shelter, food storage, safety, survival, exploration, and/or just relaxing. Here are the absolute basic necessities, adaptable for beginners and experienced campers alike that can help you plan for your time in the wilderness.
Make sure you're not only camping safely, but legally as well. Make sure you have all of the right permits for everything you want to do — camping, fishing, hunting, whatever.
"Be Prepared" really hits home here. Do you really want to have to have to do the Survivorman thing? This is a no-brainer.
You'll appreciate having one around when you want to see what's crawling in your tent or to safely make it out for a bathroom break once the fire has gone out. Don't forget to pack extra batteries.
بوجود بطارية تستمر 35 ساعة، كشاف الرأس سيستمر معك أطول من شعلة التخييم. With a battery that last 35 hours, your headlamp will last longer than your campfire.
Because you're going to want to see after sunset. I recommend something that won't start a fire.
Make sure you have one for each member of your "expedition".
It's your protection from the elements. If it rains, you'll appreciate a good, water-proofed tent that is properly erected.
While most tents today come with a ground cover, having an extra one will prevent the tent floor from being damaged. It is easier to replace a damaged tarp than a damaged tent.
To help complete many tasks around a campsite, such as making kindling, splitting large pieces of firewood, and planting your tent spikes.
📷@lumberjack.dk shows one of his very cool axes. Shout out to Denmark!
Especially if you don't think there will be enough at your campsite to gather.
Rope is one of those things which seem to come in handy all the time.
Like rope, duct tape will almost certainly be used multiple times during your trip.
It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Nothing worse than having bugs continuously bugging you.
Unless you're Bear Gylls, you need a way to start your campfire and stove.
Either find a way to purify it yourself (boil it), stay at a campsite that has water spigots, or just bring it with you.
For cooking, obviously. Just remember to verify that it actually works before your leave.
Just make sure to pack plenty of it. Nothing is worse than running out.
Not only are coolers excellent for storing and transporting food, but they can also double as seats for people who do not want to sit on the ground.
Avoid bringing reusable plates unless you plan to also bring your kitchen sink to wash them. Washing dishes while camping is a difficult procedure.
Because nothing is worse than bringing cans of food that you're not able to open.
All are useful in their own right. But if you can only bring one, paper towels are best since they can double as napkins and toilet paper.
To successfully cook, you will need a set of cooking utensils. Double check that you have all the necessary instruments for cooking your planned meals.
Bring two for each day you are camping. These will be useful for cleaning pots and pans.

Park Hill is Denver's best neighborhood. That's why the Centennial State's governor, Democrat John Hickenlooper, lives there.
For some nine years now, the Park Hill Fourth of July Parade has featured politicians and celebrities and marching bands and a gigantic Hari Krishna float.
When Donald Trump appointed Scott Pruitt to head the EPA, it was all so Pruitt could undo every single thing that President Obama did to save Planet Earth.
And Pruitt quickly did that while sinking deeper and deeper into the Swamp that is Washington.
Pruitt is in such deep s__t, and he is so thoroughly clueless as to how to extricate himself, that he has demanded that Trump fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and put him in at Justice — as though the Republican Senate would even think about confirming him as the nation's top lawyer.
All that is why associate solitary reporter Lewis Thompson III saw Pruitt today at 23rd Avenue and Dexter, in the heart of Park Hill, demanding to lead the Parade, which in past years has seen Colorado's junior US Senator, the boyish Republican Cory Gardner, and then-Secretary of State Scott Gessler, also a Republican, marching in the parade, despite the fact that everyone watching the parade, all Dems, never vote for Republicans.
Two years ago, at 1:30 am, Denver's City Council voted to close historic City Park Golf Course, remove over 200 trees, and put a detention pond in it, all with the declared purpose of preventing floods from the nearby South Platte River. All this was at the instance of Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock, who defied strong neighborhood opposition.
The parade marshal, Doug Schuler, told Pruitt that for his own protection, he should immediately return to Washington and skip the parade, but Pruitt refused.
Denver's Finest refused to provide Pruitt with a security detail, but Pruitt brought his own, at taxpayer expense.


Aldon Morris's study, The Scholar Denied, significantly rewrites the history of modern sociology by revealing the primacy of W. E. B. Du Bois' work in the founding of the discipline. Calling into question the prevailing narrative of how American scientific sociology developed, Morris probes the ways in which the history of the discipline has traditionally given credit for the founding of scientific sociology to Robert E. Park, who worked with the conservative black leader Booker T. Washington and to the Chicago School of Sociology. However, by using power and racial privilege, these forces rendered Du Bois' groundbreaking scientific sociology and his Atlantic School invisible. Morris uncovers the seminal theoretical work of Du Bois in developing a "scientific" sociology through his pioneering of a variety of innovative empirical methodologies and examines how the leading scholars of the day disparaged and ignored Du Bois' work. Morris' presentation will be based on The Scholar Denied which is anchored in extensive, rigorous primary source research. In so doing, Morris sheds new light on the role that power, economics, and ideology play in the production and transmission of knowledge. By placing Du Bois' work at the center of sociology over a century ago, Morris' presentation will make a powerful argument that Du Bois' body of sociology works need to be canonized. Only through such canonization can contemporary scholars discover and reclaim the intellectual bounty embedded in Du Bois' wide ranging scholarship.

Holland America Line Explores Three Mexican Riviera Ports on Extended Cruise Season in 2019
PRESS RELEASE PR Newswire
Sep. 20, 2018, 01:56 PM
Three ships to feature 22 seven- and 11-day cruises through 2019
SEATTLE, Sept. 20, 2018 /CNW/ -- From mariachi to margaritas, the vibrant spirit of Mexico comes alive aboard three Holland America Line ships during the 2019 Mexico cruise season. From January through December 2019, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam and Oosterdam will sail a series of seven- and 11-day cruises roundtrip from San Diego, California, that include calls at Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Boasting sun-kissed skies, golden beaches and azure seas, the Mexican Riviera is an ideal getaway for travelers looking to visit a tropical destination that's rich in culture, color and cuisine. On board, Explorations Central (EXC) programming brings the country to life through local entertainment, regional dishes, destination presentations and more.
"Mexico cruises are among our most popular because they are perfect for a traveler who wants both a sun and beach filled itinerary along with a culturally rich destination wrapped into one vacation," said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. "By featuring up to three Mexican ports of call on one itinerary, our cruises offer a deeply comprehensive and immersive opportunity to become connected to the people and traditions of Mexico."
Mexican Riviera Sailings Roundtrip from San Diego
All Mexican Riviera cruises will call at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta, giving guests a great feel for the country and all that it offers. Three sea days provide time to relax and explore the abundance of amenities on board.
Guests can expand their cruise to include more of the West Coast aboard Eurodam sailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Oct. 15, on a unique 11-day itinerary down to San Diego that also calls at Santa Barbara, California. For those with less time, this cruise can be taken as a seven-day itinerary departing San DiegoOct. 19. Eurodam offers eight additional seven-day cruises through 2019, and its sister ship, Nieuw Amsterdam, will also explore the region on six sailings starting March 17. Oosterdam will sail into the region Oct. 6 on its first of eight seven-day sailing, including two festive Mexican Riviera Holiday voyages departing Dec. 21 and Dec 28.
Popular Ports Highlight the Itineraries
During the sail into San Diego, guests are treated to scenic cruising past Coronado Island, Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma. The ship conveniently docks near downtown, so guests can walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the Old Town or have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo, time permitting.
At the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is one of Mexico's most recognizable ports of call thanks to its unique rock arch formation. Whether lounging on a powdery beach, exploring on a four-wheel-drive adventure or taking to the sea in search of a gray whale, guests will find Cabo offers something for every type of traveler.
Mazatlán, known as the "Pearl of the Pacific," is where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet, creating an incredible sportfishing environment. It's also a haven for watersports, historic sites and nature. Locals treat visitors like amigos, making it a coastal city with plenty of allure.
Puerto Vallarta has it all — from gorgeous beaches and activities galore to chic shops and stylish restaurants. The quaint Old Town greets visitors with an enticing mix of red-tiled buildings, cobbled streets and bustling open markets, while eco-adventures show off Mexico's flora and fauna in this paradise on earth.
Explorations Central Brings Mexican Culture on Board
Throughout the voyages, EXC programming brings Mexico's local traditions, culinary tastes and cultural experiences to life onboard. Through EXC Encounters, a mariachi band in traditional attire will perform onboard, while a barbecue on Lido Deck features authentic Mexican dishes. Guests who want to learn more about the country can attend an EXC Talk by an EXC Guide or head to America's Test Kitchen for a cooking demonstration, cooking class or themed mixology class featuring local fare.
The Dining Room and Lido Market also will showcase the flavors of Mexico, while bars will offer a variety of Mexican liquors and ingredients. The ship's ambiance will be enhanced by Mexican floral varieties, and guests will be welcomed in their staterooms with Mexican towel creations.
The EXC Team will provide further customized guidance for the Mexican calls, and the in-stateroom EXC Channel will feature a selection of curated films, documentaries and TV shows exploring destinations on the ship's itinerary.
Holland America Line's Explorations Central recently received top honors for outstanding Overall Cruise Education Program from a leading travel industry publication.

Kilusan Para sa Pambansang Demokrasya took to the streets in front of Camp Aguinaldo while the League of Filipino Students tried to rally in front of the United States Embassy but was stopped by police as talks for increased US military presence in the Philippines began.
Protesters held different signs expressing their fierce opposition to the move.
"Gazmin and del Rosario: Don't sell out Philippine sovereignty by allowing more US troops in the country," one sign said.
"Ang pinalayas na noon, wag nang pabalikin ngayon! Igiit ang pambansang soberanya," went another.
Riot police stood at the sidelines of the mostly peaceful protests.
Militant group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) on Tuesday said the United States is exploiting the row between the Philippines and China to strengthen their foothold in the country.
"The US is merely exploiting the dispute," Bayan Sec. Renato Reyes said in a statement.

Operation Unite returns for the silly season
johnboy 6 December 2012 6 December 2012
ACT Policing today announced its participation in Operation Unite, which will commence across Australian and New Zealand this weekend (7-9 December).
Operation Unite — a multi-jurisdictional operation focusing on alcohol-related crime — aims to draw attention to the broader implications associated with alcohol misuse in public locations, including crime and anti?social behaviour.
Operational Commander Superintendent Brett Kidner said that while the ACT has experienced a decrease in the number of people arrested as a result of intoxication and alcohol-related offences, changing the 'drinking culture' was a long-term effort.
"With the festive season quickly approaching, we are asking the community to be mindful of how much alcohol they consume, and how their behaviour may impact on others. We don't want to see people having Christmas parties, drinking themselves into an unhealthy state, and then getting arrested or lodged in the ACT Watch House or possibly worse, conveyed to hospital," Superintendent Kidner said.
Operation Unite will begin on Friday night (December 7) and ends Sunday morning (December 9).
"The operation is not about restricting people from having a good time when going out to public places; instead it is about raising awareness in the community about risky drinking behaviours," Superintendent Kidner said.
"We need to look after ourselves, and our mates, and not allow excessive drinking to be used as an excuse for engaging in violence or anti-social behaviour."
ACT Policing will be out in force, along with newly graduated Constables of Police, over the course of Operation Unite.

Has anyone experienced issue on VBMs using WINXP attempting to connect to the Internet through wifi? I use wifi and my clients random stopped connecting to the web... Not sure what I did.
Dreaming in Sprinkles bot is also not working, has anyone experienced these issues? LMK.
Bots aren't supported on Windows XP anymore - Microsoft for example stopped the support for XP in 2014.
Get an .iso of Windows 7 or higher.
Cheers, will update if I come across any issues.
I suggest just Windows 7. W8 and W10 are piles of junk and you will have more flexibility with what you do using a VM of Windows 7.

As scary as it may sound, mold can develop virtually anywhere in Los Angeles, California, and if you are not cautious it may be growing in your home or business. Fortunately, with our numerous years of experience in the Los Angeles, CA mold removal industry, you can count on us to handle your mold problems in a heartbeat. We will arrive on your site, locate the mold and have it removed before it has a chance to wreak havoc on your Los Angeles property and your well being. In addition, we take the necessary precautions to ensure the mold will not return. If you would like HEASC Mold Removal to help with your mold testing needs, get in touch with our mold remediation staff at 888-547-2290.
What Attracts Mold in Los Angeles, CA?
Areas in your house or office that provide a food and water source do a great job of tempting mold. The area between the frame of your home and the sheetrock tends to provide the necessary nutrients for mold, which makes this a great place to grow. Consequently, if you have water standing in your basement from a recent storm, mold might be hiding. Leaking pipes and ceilings also team up to allow mold to grow inside of your Los Angeles, CA home or business. If you live in a higher humidity area, you will also be more vunerable to mold in your home or office.
What Medical Issues can Mold Cause in Los Angeles, CA?
Aside from the damage mold can inflict on your Los Angeles, CA property, the worst part is it can lead to some pretty serious health issues for you, your family or your clients. Ventilation systems could also work with mold to give it a means of airborne transportation, which is extremely frightening. Respiratory issues are among the biggest health concerns associated with mold. In some cases, this means something as minor as a cough or throat irritation, but it may also lead to asthma or even death. Since black mold may cause so many concerns, it is important to have us execute a black mold removal before it is too late. It would also be a fantastic idea to have a mold inspection completed at least annually to ensure mold is not growing in your home.
By examining areas of your home for dampness, you may be able to decrease your odds of having mold inspection in Los Angeles, CA. Although it may be tempting to let a mold growth problem inside of your home or business slip by in hopes it will die out, this is a dangerous move as it could be poisonous. You do not want to see what mold can do to your property when given a little time, and you certainly do not want to get sick. Let our mold removal staff from HEASC Mold Removal end your mold problem before it has a chance to impact your life by calling a black mold removal specialist at 888-547-2290.
How Can I Discover Mold on My Los Angeles, California Property?
We can assist you in your battle against mold by executing annual mold testing, and you can do whatever it takes to keep your home dry.
What Attracts Mold Throughout Los Angeles?
Our mold removal staff will tell you that mold is attracted to homes and businesses that provide lots of moisture and darkness, and it considers furnishings, ceiling tiles and sheetrock as an added bonus for nutrition. We also offer service to mold removal Miami, FL amid other places and states around the country.
What Can Mold Accomplish in Los Angeles, CA?
If you have mold on your property, it can cause physical damage to furnishings, ceiling tiles and walls, and it can also cause you to have to deal with some pretty significant respiratory problems.
There are essentially two categories of mold, and toxic (black) mold is by far the most hazardous. This is why it is important to have the professionals from HEASC Mold Removal execute black mold testing.
To be able to learn a little about what you have noticed, we will start off with a mold inspection. Once the inspection has been finished, we will ensure the mold and source of its attraction are removed. The process will be performed by our mold remediation team and our industrialized equipment.
Although some tasks may be more time consuming than the others, all of our mold removal fees are very affordable. Generally speaking, the sooner you contact us, the cheaper it will be as the mold's colony will not have expanded nearly as much.
Do You Offer Emergency Services Within Los Angeles?
Since we realize that mold problems do not always happen during normal business hours, we offer emergency services that are also priced very fairly. To learn more about our emergency mold removal services, give us a call at 888-547-2290.


Warts and Wobbles is a tangle pattern by new tangler, Cindy Straight, and it's her first pattern on the site.
"I've been living in South Mississippi for almost twenty years now. I currently teach and work at my local bead shop. I also teach beading and wire working for the Community Education Program. Between us, my husband and I have six children and five grandchildren.
Crafting has been a major part of my life and is solely responsible for keeping me sane for as long as I can remember. I am always open to new crafts. The one area that has always plagued me was drawing. I wanted to draw, but always fail… miserably. One day while looking through the DIY/Crafts on Pinterest I came across this beautiful drawing. It was so elegant and fluid. The artist claimed that it could be done…one line at a time. I watched the video of Mooka…and was hooked. That was a few weeks before this past Christmas. Now each evening I sit down, relax from many hours of making jewelry and just draw.
Cindy illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Warts and Wobbles below, together with a sweet Zentangle® showing some possible variations.
It's kind of in the shape of a heart. Nice for Valentine's day – all ruffly and lacy looking.
Thanks for sharing! I love this tangle and cant wait to work with it!!!

Public Libraries and the Pandemic: Digital Shifts and Disparities to Overcome
In the fall and winter of 2020, New America embarked on a snapshot study to gather data on how—or if—people were discovering, accessing, and using their public libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on materials that libraries made available online. Our findings, which include data from a national survey of 2,620 people, highlight the need for more inclusivity, more focus on providing internet access, and more awareness-raising initiatives with local organizations and schools.
OTI to FCC: Make the Emergency Broadband Benefit a 'Rapid Success'
New America's Open Technology Institute urged the Federal Communications Commission to quickly and successfully implement the Emergency Broadband Benefit, a new subsidy to help low-income people pay for broadband service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will provide $50 per month to qualifying low-income households and $75 in Tribal areas. OTI's comments made the following recommendations:
How to Revive the FCC's Lifeline Program: A Blueprint to Build Back Better After Four Years of Neglect and Regulatory War
For the past four years, the Federal Communications Commission's Lifeline program has been dogged by neglectful leadership and repeated attacks from the commission under Chairman Ajit Pai. As the COVID19 pandemic and a persistent digital divide exacerbate income, racial, and geographic inequities, this program has been stifled at a crucial time. In this paper, we review the myriad attacks that Lifeline has endured during the Trump Administration—and build a blueprint for a better path forward.
The Cost of Connectivity in the Navajo Nation
Tribes are some of the least connected communities in the United States. The lack of broadband availability is especially acute on tribal lands, where the American Indian Policy Institute found that only 49 percent of residents have fixed home internet service. Recent testimony by the president of the Navajo Nation confirms that this figure is even worse in the Navajo Nation, where over half of Navajo chapters lack any broadband access.
In Net Neutrality Proceeding, New America Tells FCC That US Broadband has an Affordability Problem
New America's Open Technology Institute recently published The Cost of Connectivity 2020, a new study showing that the cost of broadband service is higher in the United States than in Asia or Europe—and that US consumers are in the grips of a broadband affordability crisis. This research is consistent with our past submissions to the Commission regarding the dismal state of competition in the broadband marketplace, which has all the hallmarks of an oligopoly.
The Cost of Connectivity 2020
Consumers in the US pay more on average for monthly internet service than consumers abroad—especially for higher speed tiers. This report examines 760 plans in 28 cities across Asia, Europe, and North America, with an emphasis on the US. Key Findings:
Community Broadband: The Fast, Affordable Internet Option That's Flying Under the Radar
With at least 20 million people across the United States lacking broadband service, community and tribal broadband networks offer a much-needed opportunity to expand and improve internet access across the country. These networks, which include municipal or public option networks, today serve more than 900 communities nationwide.
Who Should Enforce Privacy Protections?
The Federal Trade Commission's $5 billion settlement with Facebook over the company's deceptive privacy practices made a big splash, raising questions about the role the FTC should play in enforcing US privacy laws. While some observers criticized the FTC for not going far enough, others felt the record fine demonstrated the FTC's willingness to set new precedents for punitive actions—and its unique ability to serve as the cop on the beat. But that isn't the end of the conversation.
Centering Civil Rights in the Privacy Debate
In our increasingly digitized world, it is critical to protect individuals' privacy. As policymakers consider passing meaningful privacy legislation, civil rights protections are a critical but mostly overlooked component. To have effective privacy legislation, we must ensure that companies' data practices do not violate individuals' civil rights—especially when it comes to marginalized communities.

My father was a physician. He worked hard but he loved practicing medicine which provided his family with a comfortable life. Politically, he was a Democrat but in today's terms he would be defined as a socialist. I remember when the first whisperings of national health care arose, my father emphasized that affordable medical insurance and medical care was an absolute necessity for all Americans. Often, my father would treat patients who didn't have much money, yet he felt that providing medical care was his calling. His purpose in life was to heal… money was secondary. It wasn't unusual for him to make house calls in the middle of the night if a patient needed him. If they slipped him $5.00 as a token of gratitude, so be it. It was his way of giving.
Fast forward through the 27 years of marriage to a man whose philosophies were diametrically opposed to how I was raised, my philanthropic values became dormant. It wasn't until I met Bernie Gelson, the love of my life who would become my second husband, that those values were reawakened and strengthened.
Bernie founded Gelson's Market, a well-known chain of upscale supermarkets in Southern California. He was born in Sioux City, Iowa, to an alcoholic father and an illiterate mother who owned a small grocery store… the family lived behind the store. Bernie's mother would make cheese which he would deliver to customers from his wagon. Yet the family, which included his older sister, Dorothy, and younger brother, Gene, was profoundly poor, often needing assistance from others so they would have coal to keep them warm during the frigid winter months. Eventually, when Bernie was 17, the family moved to Southern California and bought a small grocery store with living quarters upstairs. Bernie and Gene would go to school in the morning, then run the store in the afternoon. Dorothy assisted the family by working as a salesgirl (that's what they were called in those days) at Broadway Department Store.
When World War II broke out, Bernie enlisted and was transferred to Sheppard Field, Texas, to teach basic training for the Army Air Corp while Gene became a fighter pilot. By the time the war was over, the brothers had amassed a "grand fortune" of $1,500.00 which they used to buy a little grocery store in Tujunga, California. They worked hard while emphasizing quality, cleanliness and service. Because the store did well, they decided to purchase a larger store in North Hollywood called The Village Mart. Their simple philosophy continued: Provide the best quality meats, poultry and fish, the finest fresh produce, a wide-range of name-brand grocery items, treat employees like family, and treat the customers as you would guests in your own home.
In 1951, they took the big step and opened what would be their first full-line large supermarket called Gelson's. Rather than spend money on advertising, they invested in hiring more full-time employees, closing on major holidays so employees could spend time with their families, and offering a 100% guarantee of satisfaction on every item they sold.
Now, some successful people think, "I made myself successful, and I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my labor," but not Bernie. Bernie saw it as his life's calling to give back. He was a liberal who believed that by paying higher wages than the industry standard, he would have happier employees and less employee turnover. His employees were all union members because he believed that unions are what create the middle class, and that the middle class drives the economy… not millionaires.
Bernie also had compassion for people in need. In addition to spending eight years as a house father at a local orphanage, that trait was evident in many of his life stories — always reaching out to help others in need, and feeling grateful that he was able to do so. Here is one interesting example: A struggling screenwriter dropped by the store to cash a check but his last check had bounced. Bernie said, "What are you doing? You're coming in with another check? The last one bounced!" He responded, "Bernie, you've got to help me. I have an appointment in London, and I have an opportunity to sell this script." The man needed $500, which at that time was a king's ransom, and said, "If I can sell this script, not only will this check be good, but also the other check." Bernie thought about it for a moment and proceeded to cash the check, figuring that if $500 dollars was all that was standing between this man and his success, who was he to stand in the way? The script sold and the man became a very successful screenwriter in Hollywood. And yes, he made good on BOTH checks. Years later, this man's daughter became a newspaper columnist who wrote a column about how her father always attributed his success to Bernie Gelson, because he was willing to take the risk.
These are the kinds of stories that I used to hear… not so much from Bernie, but more often from the people who knew him. And these stories truly resonated with me. "We have an obligation to those who are less fortunate, and we need to reach out and lend a helping hand in any way we can" was his motto.
Bernie passed away in 2005 at the age of 84 and, since then, I have made every effort to honor his philanthropic spirit, knowing how important it was to him. Last year, I read an article about George Zimmer in the Los Angeles Times. I love hearing about how people made it, about what happened in a person's life that inspired them to become successful. In that article, Zimmer spoke glowingly about Patriotic Millionaires and its mission resonated with me immediately. I knew that this was an organization that Bernie would support.
After investigating Patriotic Millionaires, I decided to become a member. This gave me the opportunity to learn even more about the organization. The bottom line is that their policy points focus on the same values that are important to me and that were important to Bernie. Being with people who are phenomenally successful is truly inspiring to me. While I am not in that group of self-made millionaires, I was very fortunate to be married to a man who was and whose values complement the PM philosophy and mine.
Being with the Patriotic Millionaires — being in the company of people who are like-minded, who share my value system — well, I guess it's a way of having Bernie back in my life. I'm just perpetuating his story and his life's dreams. That's my job.

Kristin Robson is giving instructions to two girls who are suspended halfway between floor and ceiling by umbilically situated harnesses. They're all talking about their routine, but one is also talking to her dinner.
"Oh dinner, dinner, stay down," she says, patting her stomach with one hand. She's wearing all black and hanging in the fetal position. She looks like a wrecking ball.
Once practice starts, there are flips and turns and displays of strength and flexibility in a dance that relies heavily on pendulum motions. The dancers mimic each others' movements, performing what looks like synchronized swimming–only, of course, without a pool. And upside down.
They are Robson, Abra Allan, Julie Murphy and Kara Snider, and together they are the Gravity Girls, an aerial dance troupe. This week they bring a free demonstration of their unique subgenre of modern dance to the barren spot of urban wasteland next to Lulu Carpenter's in honor of National Dance Week.
Gravity and dancers enjoyed a steady relationship until modern dancers decided that gravity was holding them back; it kept them dependent on a horizontal dance floor, which limited their potential. So when modern dance decided to try something new by shacking up with rock climbing, the end result was the birth of aerial dance. Groups of dancers, such as Project Bandaloop, which started dancing in a California rock climbing gym in the 1970s, began to innovate by attaching themselves to ropes so they could dance over canyons, against walls or on landmarks like Seattle's Space Needle.
Robson demurs when questioned about the amount of strength and flexibility it takes to perform the acrobatic maneuvers in the Gravity Girls' repertoire, but it's easy to tell just from watching them move with such muscular grace that it takes guts and a lot of stamina to dance at the end of a rope.
A lot of that strength comes from years of development and practice. The members of the troupe have piles of dancing and climbing experience, and the spectrum extends from fire dancing to tap dancing. None of those genres makes an entrance into their routine. Shuffling and spinning balls of fire don't mix well with perpendicular wall-flips.
The genre whose genes really show up in their presentation is modern dance. It shows even though the dance kind of looks like something you might see in a circus, though Robson disavows any connection between the Gravity Girls and what she calls "circus style" and frowns at the association. Aerial dancing is art. The Gravity Girls are artists. The Gravity Girls are not Cirque du Soleil.
She favors awed silence over intermittent spurts of applause. There's a higher aesthetic at work for the aerial dancer. They're about meaning and choreography, not spectacle. They want to create what they call a "musical fantasia." It's deep.
The music they're listening to is something ambient with a lot of repetitive, rhythmic drumming. It's what you might expect to hear in a yoga class, but it's being danced to. It's fast and graceful. There are no accidentally jerky motions except for the ones that Robson points out.
Robson is old salt. Her criticisms come from experience, plus she's recording the entire routine with a hand-held camera. She's been doing aerial dancing for six years. She started dancing at Cabrillo College and then continued to train at the Alvin Ailey School in New York. That training formed the foundation for what she does now.
Part of what makes aerial dancing entertaining for the common schmuck is the element of danger, but a lot of boring caution goes into making absolutely certain that the girls remain attached to their cords and harnesses. They've hired professional riggers to set up their climbing gear and to ensure that everything is safe during performances. This is especially important this week since they're performing against the bare masonry side of the empty lot that used to be the Santa Cruz Roasting Company until the Loma Prieta earthquake. Their new routine has something to do with the crater they're dancing over, but they declined to tell us what, exactly.
If you go, remember that the Gravity Girls think they're doing something wrong if you applaud during their routine. So wait until it's over to show your appreciation–though it's going to be hard to tell when the dance ends. Hanging 30 feet off the ground from a rope makes it hard to bow.
THE GRAVITY GIRLS reveal their secret routine Thursday, May 1, at 5:15pm and Saturday, May 3, at 2pm in the lot next to Lulu Carpenters, 1545 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free. For more info visit www.gravityarts.com.
"After class, Flecha explains some of the principles of the Axis Syllabus. It's not a style or technique, like modern dance or Balanchine ballet, but rather a set of anatomical principles governing a way of movement. Created by Frey Faust, son of the late Santa Cruz spiritualist Shekinah Mountainwater, it's said to be more natural, easier on the body. To demonstrate, Flecha raises one ramrod-straight leg in front of her, toe pointed.
It does look like play, and everyone's invited to the party. May 2-8 Flecha and other practitioners of Axis Syllabus–not to mention instructors of swing, lindy hop, hip-hop, samba, zumba, belly dance, hula, even fire dancing–are offering free classes around town in honor of National Dance Week. It's an open invitation to try something new with zero commitment.
The whole shebang kicks off Thursday, May 1, with Dancing in the Streets, a series of public performances on three corners in downtown Santa Cruz: Pacific and Front streets, Pacific and Cooper and Pacific and Cathcart (see page 30 for schedule). This is three-plus hours of skilled entertainment for free. Among the forms on display: belly dancing, hula, hip-hop and a lot of dance theater, including the Flaming Puppet Sisters (a spinoff of the old Moving and Storage Company) and John and Nancy Lingemann. The evening culminates at 8:15pm at Pacific and Cathcart with a performance by the fire dancers of Nocturnal Sunshine.
Friday through Sunday is Dance in Unlikely Places, whereby a select group of artists, including Mir & A Company, Tru School Hip Hop and the experimental Shah and Blah Productions, mount spontaneous performances around town–in stores, on the sidewalk, anywhere. Keep an eye out for that. On Friday evening, the 418 Project comes alive with modern and experimental pieces by Flecha, Cabrillo College instructor Cid Pearlman, Leralee Whittle, Shah and Blah and Lisa Christensen. Tickets to A Year in the Life of the 418 are $15; show is at 8pm.
Saturday evening the Attic hosts Dance Odyssey's Black and White Bash at 7pm, with dance, performances, food and drink to benefit Dance Odyssey's new Teen Dance Camp for at-risk girls. Tickets are $35 individual or $50 per couple.

It began with a song. The song was "Wahine 'Ilikea" and the singer was George Kahumoku Jr. I'd never heard anything like it. I wanted to get deeper into that music; I wanted to get inside Hawai'i. I began to listen to Gabby Pahinui, Izzy Kamakawiwo'ole, Dennis Kamakahi. I even learned to play the ukulele. But that still wasn't enough to take me to the place the song had promised, the frangipani-scented valley of dreams and stories. For that I would have to learn the hula.
One of the first things beginning hula dancers are taught is the ami, the characteristic hip revolution that is at the heart of Hawaiian dance. The Institute for Polynesian Studies calls the ami "a combination of both a circular rotation and a linear sway that, when done correctly, is not only beautiful to watch but also deceptively difficult to do." I learned my ami from Lorraine Kinnamon, the Santa Cruz dance instructor who would become my mentor in the world of Polynesian dance. Lorraine, who grew up in Kailua town on the windward side of Oahu, has been dancing since she was 10, and her joy in the art form is infectious. Always gentle and light of heart, she is truly full of aloha. And just as that word has multiple meanings–love, compassion, gratitude, hello, farewell–I learned that hula is more than just a series of steps and gestures to be memorized. Hula is a spiritual force, the physical embodiment of aloha.
The ami was followed by basic steps like kaholo (a side-to-side vamp), nuanced movements like ka'o or "beauty motion" (hip sway) and tricky ones like uwehe (lift heels one at a time while pushing knees outward). Besides traditional Hawaiian kahiko, performed to chants and percussion instruments, and modern 'auana, accompanied by songs, Lorraine taught us Tahitian aparimas and oteas and some Maori dance. While it's true that just about anyone can learn Polynesian dance, it is still an exacting discipline: you must keep your back straight, knees bent, fingers together, eyes following hands. "Smile, dancers," Lorraine would remind us."Huli!" (turn).
When I visited Hawaii for the first time it felt like a pilgrimage. A Kauai innkeeper put a book into my hands called Hula Is Life, the Story of Ma'iki Aiu Lake, the celebrated kumu hula (master teacher) who was a leading figure in the Hawaiian cultural revival of the '70s. I sat on the lanai, surrounded by red ginger and yellow hibiscus, reading the history of hula and falling deeper into the spell.
At a class recital I got to see Lorraine dance a solo of "Wahine 'Ilikea." The song, composed by Dennis Kamakahi, is about the waterfalls of Molokai, but as with most hulas it has a kaona, or hidden meaning; the pale mists part to reveal the beautiful waterfalls streaming down a mountain, as a woman reveals her secret self to her lover. It's a romantic, sensuous dance and Lorraine's performance was a vision. Her hands became the waterfalls, the sun, the clouds, the mountain. She embodied the poise and confidence she always tried to impart to her students. Become larger, spread out, she would say. Imagine you have all the space in the world.
Auntie Ma'iki said, "Hula, it reassures you all the time, that there is love and there is beauty." And it was true. Hula did reassure me, even when I despaired of getting the hang of it. My body had never learned the language of any dance. Steps that took the other dancers an hour to master could take me days or even weeks. My feet went in the wrong direction, my kaholos and amis felt uncoordinated and clumsy. But hula does not only reassure, it accepts–all kinds of people and all kinds of bodies, large and small, young and old, brown and white.
I went to a Hapa concert where the last song of the last set was "Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai," or "Seaweed Hula." This is a popular hula with intricate, rapid steps that I had only just begun to learn. When the musicians invited all the dancers in the audience to come up onstage, I didn't feel confident enough to leave my seat, but my heart followed the dozen other women who did. Take a dozen hula dancers and you may get a dozen interpretations of a single hula. Every woman performed the dance to slightly different choreography, but it didn't matter. The audience loved it.
I began to trust that there was a place in Polynesian dance for me. I kept studying with Lorraine and practicing at home with my tape recorder and my mirror propped against the wall. On the day she invited me to join her dance company, I felt the giddy wonder of having reached an exotic destination I never thought I would see.
I've gone to many professional hula performances, but the one I remember best wasn't practiced or staged, and the dancer wasn't even wearing a costume. It was in a little bar in Hanalei. The band was taking requests from the audience and a newlywed couple asked for the Hawaiian Wedding Song–the traditional version, not the one Elvis sang in Blue Hawaii. As the music began, a Hawaiian woman in her 80s suddenly got up and began to perform the wedding hula. Her body swayed in one continuous, fluid motion, unhurried and graceful, like the rustling of bamboo in a breeze. The late Mae Ulalia Loebenstein, another renowned kumu hula, famously said, "When you dance there are two of you, your spiritual self and your physical self. The spirit has to dance." This woman's spirit was beaming out at us. It wasn't schmaltzy, it was hypnotic. "Auntie, hana hou!" (do it again), the audience shouted when she was done. The old woman smiled.
If you've never danced, it may feel perilous at first. It's not easy to be a beginner. Yet in some ways the beginner is the luckiest person in the world; all she has to do is learn. We will all be made better for daring to dance, Ma'iki Aiu Lake said. When I moved away from Santa Cruz I also left Lorraine and my hula sisters. But even though I haven't danced in several years, whenever I hear Hawaiian music or see a Polynesian dance performance, I think of those days of amis and fragrant maile leis and I am still reassured: as long as there is hula, there is love and there is beauty.
LORRAINE KINNAMON AND THE TE HAU NUI POLYNESIAN DANCE CO. will perform Thursday, May 1, at 6:45pm at Pacific and Cooper streets and at 7:15pm at Pacific and Front streets in Santa Cruz. For information about Lorraine's classes and Te Hau Nui, visit tehaunuidance.com.

Atlanta HBCU Raises $ 90 Million to Support Diversity in Finance |
To ensure that students of color are able to capitalize on this success, three global companies are investing $ 90 million in three major historically black colleges and universities and a virtual institute at Wharton College in a company called AltFinance, a plan on 10 years to improve career pathways in the field. The alternative investment industry – which includes assets like real estate, cryptocurrency, hedge funds and venture capital, but not cash or stocks – is expected to reach $ 14 trillion by 2023 The opportunities for young business leaders are there, but are they for everyone?
Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College and Spelman College – three that make up the Atlanta University Center Consortium – will be beneficiaries of this transformative and diversity-driven initiative led by Apollo Global Management, Inc., Ares Management Corporation and Oaktree Capital Management, LP and managed by ALT Finance Corporation. The Wharton School, the nation's oldest business school at the University of Pennsylvania, will operate this exclusive virtual institute featuring its highly acclaimed professors and financial leaders.
"Working with HBCUs will allow alternative investment managers to tap into a talent pool that this industry has often overlooked," said Howard Marks, Oaktree Co-Chair. "Black academics have always had the ambition and the skills to be successful in alternative investing; only broad access to opportunities was lacking. "We are proud to play an important role in creating AltFinance which, through its efforts to support HBCUs, will make an immediate and positive difference for students of color," said Erika James, Dean of the Wharton School. "With a reach from pre-college students to senior executives, it is Wharton's privilege to offer our world-class faculty and resources to those who deserve it."
In addition to financial investments in students, the program will offer hands-on experiences through internships, education and training, as well as key networking opportunities. "As the world begins to carefully reopen, the alternative finance industry will play an important role in how economies recover and thrive," said Mary Schmidt Campbell, president of Spelman. "The partnership with Spelman will provide our students with invaluable scholarships and resources that will give them a competitive advantage on the path to a successful career and life."
For the institutions involved, the AltFinance program will have deep and far-reaching impacts beyond the courses and even these experiential lessons. The nonprofit organization Management Leadership for Tomorrow will add its expertise and influence not only by helping to set up a scholarship program, but also by ensuring that "Blacks, Hispanics / Latinos and Native Americans reach and thrive at the highest levels of American business ".
Source universitybusiness.com "Our partnership in the AltFinance initiative will open more doors of opportunity for Morehouse and other HBCU students to push the boundaries of the status quo and create new avenues for equitable access to vehicle creation vehicles. wealth, capital, private funds, and financial tools that will help develop businesses and empower enterprising minds. "As our graduates who are now leaders in the sector have shown, those who control financing often have a disproportionate impact on societal and economic outcomes, "said David Thomas, Ph.D., president of Morehouse College." As men of color intensify their role as engines of economic ingenuity and business innovation, there is is imperative that they have an intimate knowledge of the intricacies of complex alternative investment strategies.

ABINGDON — A Kingsport coal company has pleaded guilty in federal court to giving advance notice of safety inspections to mine employees in Wise County, according to a press release.
Mill Branch Coal, LLC, entered the guilty plea this week in the U.S. District Court in Abingdon to violating the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act. The company pleaded guilty to one count of providing advance notice of safety inspections.
According to the plea agreement, Mill Branch Coal paid $260,538 to the U.S. Department of Labor for criminal fines and obligations. In addition, the company was placed on probation for two years.
In 2015, from January to June, employees at the Dorchester mine in Wise County used an underground texting system to give employees advance notice that federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) inspectors were on the premises, the release states.
Advance notice was also given when Mill Branch's internal auditors and inspectors from the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) were on the premises.
After evidence of the advance warnings was uncovered in June 2015, both Mill Branch Coal and the MSHA conducted investigations into the illegal activity by company employees, according to the release. The employees who gave the warnings were terminated and remedial action was taken to prevent the activity from reoccurring.
The investigation was conducted by the MSHA's Norton office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Ramseyer prosecuted the case.

'Abortion drug' used to preventing postpartum hemorrhage around the globe
Posted June 15, 2013 by Megan Carlson
Dr Stacie Geller
Doctors are working to deliver misoprostol— known as the "abortion drug"– to women in developing countries to prevent thousands of deaths due to postpartum hemorrhaging.
"We have the answers. This is not a complex question… We know how to get women, in most cases, to have a healthy delivery," said Stacie Geller, professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of Illinois-Chicago."We need governments and we need governments engaged in spending money to do this."
She shared her experiences delivering misoprostol to women in India and Ghana Tuesday at a forum at Prentice Women's Hospital.
Postpartum hemorrhage– or excessive post-birth bleeding– is one of the leading causes of death for women across the world. Ninety-nine percent of those deaths occur in developing countries, according to Geller. Poorly trained (or non-existant) birth attendants, rudimentary health facilities and lack of prenatal care contribute to the disparity between high-resource and low-resource settings.
"That's something we don't think about a lot in the U.S., but it's a huge global problem" said Sharon Green, executive director of the Women's Health Research Institute at Northwestern University.
It can be prevented by taking oxytocin– the U.S.-preferred hormone– but it is expensive, requires refrigeration (which is not available in places with limited electricity) and can be difficult to administer. misoprostol is an alternative that many doctors prefer in low-resource settings due to its affordability, long shelf-life, ease of delivery and non-invasiveness.
But use of the drug has been fought by government officials who contend women will misuse the drug for abortions or sell it on the black market.
"This is about fear that women will control their reproduction and have abortions," Geller said.
In Ghana, where she conducted her most recent research, Geller's team distributed misoprostol to women in their 7th month of pregnancy to use in case of excessive bleeding during labor.
"I was convinced that women would not misuse it. Women don't want to die," Geller said. "They're not going to give it away, they're not going to lose it and they're not going to sell it."
She proved the naysayers wrong. Her team tracked 98 percent of doses given to women. All doses were either properly used or returned, convincing the government to distribute the drug to women on a limited basis.
"Women just want information. They want to take care of their families and they want to take care of themselves," said Katie Doyle, a clinical nurse manager who attended Tuesday's forum. "It's always going to be their first goal–no matter where you live and how much money you have in the bank."
Geller urged health practitioners Tuesday to translate their medicine into real-world outcomes.
"Do you do your science, do you publish a paper in the Lancet…and do you go home happy?" Geller asked the crowd of 65 health practitioners. "Well we could have. But it's important that the work then be heard elsewhere and translated into policy changes."
Her message hit home.
"It allows us to…have an awareness of the luxury we have in providing healthcare and resources we have," said Doyle, whose clinic regularly uses misoprostol. "I really appreciated the fact that there's so much work being done globally to ensure something that is at a low cost and high value can be used elsewhere."
