Thursday's Briefing: Contra Costa County voters to decide transportation sales tax measure next year; Kaiser, unions agree on tentative contract
PG&E shuts off power to 50,000 customers in Northern California
by Steven Tavares
If Contra Costa County's proposed transportation sales tax measure is approved, it could create $3.6 billion in new revenues through 2055.
News you don't want to miss for Sept. 26:
1. Contra Costa County supervisors backed a proposed half-cent sales tax to fund transportation projects for the next 35 years, the East Bay Times reports. The ballot measure will come before voters in March 2020 and create $3.6 billion in new tax revenue over the next three decades. $$
2. BART officials contemplated an idea to erect see-through walls on its platform that would open only when trains entered stations, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The plan proved too complicated. $$
3. A coalition of labor unions won a big victory Wednesday after they reached a tentative agreement with Kaiser Permanente on a new four-year contract, the Los Angeles Times reports. The tentative deal averts an Oct. 14 strike date announced last week by the unions. Roughly 4,900 Kaiser employees in the East Bay are affected by the new deal. $$
4. It was hot yesterday in the East Bay with temperatures in Oakland hitting 100 degrees. But a cold front is on its way ending the fall heat wave in the Bay Area, SFGate reports. Temperatures could quickly drop today by as much as 15 degrees in some places.
5. PG&E shut off power for 50,000 customers in seven Northern California counties in order to head off any wildfires from igniting, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The utility created the new policy earlier this year after its equipment was blamed for starting deadly wildfires in the region. $$
6. The San Francisco developer who initiated a previous data privacy ballot measure only to have it signed into the law by the California Legislature, is proposing an expanded version of the law for the 2020 ballot, Calmatters reports. The ballot measure petition, however, will be daunting, requiring nearly 1 million valid signatures in order to qualify for next year's ballot.

Kingsley Rodney volunteers for three hours every Thursday morning as radio host at JET FM 88.7 in Jeffrey Town, St Mary.
Remember the days when Jamaica had only two local radio stations?
Even then, some rural communities, for whatever reasons, could not get the signals and had to do without radios.
Shut out of 'radioland', the sounds of nature were what residents of these communities tuned in to.
The rushing streams and rustling leaves in the days, and at nights, chirping crickets and whistling frogs sang lullabies.
It was not very long ago, but the rapid advancement of technology has since triggered a proliferation of radio stations, and now some rural folk literally have a station in their backyard.
Such is the story of JET 88.7 FM, situated in hilly Jeffrey Town, St Mary.
Founded and operated by the Jeffrey Town Farmers' Association Ltd (JTFA), JET FM was launched in May 2008.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) provided the broadcasting equipment, but the facility was set up by an engineer hired by the association, and is housed in a building owned by the JTFA.
Stanley Roy Archer, a returned resident and founding member of JTFA, and his daughter Yvonne were involved in the initial planning and the conveying of the vision of this rural station.
They were also the ones involved in the brainstorming of programming ideas and identifying training needs.
Opportunities, yes, but a radio station is not the least expensive thing to operate, especially if it is a non-profit entity.
JET FM is sponsored by the Environmental Foundation of Jamaica and Haye's Enterprises, but earns the bulk of its money by providing services to the community through its affiliated multimedia centre and from paid announcements.
The big advertising dollar just doesn't find its way into the account of this small rural radio station. The operators, therefore, have to find creative ways to keep going.
Since June, they have been minimising overhead costs by harnessing energy from the sun and the wind.
The station is partially powered by a solar-wind energy mechanism which is connected to its regular Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) supply.
Wordsworth Gordon, president of JTFA, told The Sunday Gleaner: "With our location and our weather pattern as it stands, where no one can really predict the weather any more, it's best for us to utilise this combination.
According to Gordon, since this energy-harnessing combo went into commission, the radio station has seen a 50 per cent decline in its electricity bill.
He argued that the bill could be further reduced as the hybrid system is yet to operate at its maximum.
Still, to keep costs down, another method used by JET FM is volunteerism.
The operators and workers are all volunteers, who sometimes have to dig into their personal funds to pay the bills.
Kingsley Gordon, a member of the Oracabessa New Testament Church of God and a waiter in a north coast hotel, gave up working on Thursdays since May of last year to host his three-hour religious-based morning show.
Gordon told The Sunday Gleaner that he made the move because he has a passion for radio. He has no regrets about working for free on the radio station.
There are big plans for JET FM as it seeks to reach a wider audience and improve its services.
The objective, Gordon said, is "to reach the farmers in the community, to serve them, not just to play music, but to provide information".
But JET FM needs a circular antenna, outside broadcast equipment, and other vital items.
The airing of local news and church services, and the setting up of a website are also on the agenda, and so is the branding of the programmes.
JET FM has taken off and is now flying high over the hills and valleys of St Mary.
But, the crickets and the frogs will not be outdone; they are still chirping and whistling as loudly as ever in Jeffrey Town.

Main political opposition leader here said on return from his overseas visit to a few countries he has decided that the world has moved on from COVID, and so should we. In an online meeting today with some US govt people the US head of delegation said that there are still large numbers of people working from home, because of COVID, and it will probably be a while before there is a return to the office as in pre-pandemic times. Doesn't seem like they've moved on from COVID. Interestingly we're closer to pre-pandemic working patterns than US federal govt agencies, even though we are experiencing relatively higher daily cases and deaths to the daily US numbers. Perhaps we've moved on too quickly?

Good healing-get-over-covid-quickly thoughts for Which Tyler's sister and Raja!
I feel like this month will really be the test for me. Two people in my office are out of the office with covid this week. It's a small office so I interacted with both of them. They both have had it before. Then I attended the family wedding last weekend and out of 200 people, only 3 of us were wearing masks! There were good opportunities to spread out in the church and be outside so it wasn't a total petri dish situation but there were moments during the reception, especially when I held my 6 month old 1st cousin who goes to day care. But I kept my mask on. So we shall see. I'm going to be testing to double check.
(Incidentally - I had mentioned that I would not be eating at the reception and this worked out just great for me. We stopped for ice cream before the wedding. And then at the reception the food was apparently horrible so I did not miss out and we just stopped and got burgers on the way home.)
People are dying all around us from covid in the last few days. The most vulnerable, because people won't wear masks, won't observe the most obvious protocols.

That article doesn't say Covid causes early on set puberty, please stop implying that it does.
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/nyc-covid-transmission-soars-33-in-week-45-in-one-borough-chart-shows-ba-5-rise/3774981/
We are now officially at high risk level in all boroughs for covid.
Omicron subvariant BA.5 now accounts for most NYC COVID cases, and all five boroughs are seeing skyrocketing transmission rates. Reinfection risk is also up and may be connected to the strain. People who have had COVID before and been vaccinated may not even experience symptoms
No new mandates have been implemented, but with all five NYC boroughs considered high-risk for community COVID spread by the CDC, local health and elected officials say masks indoors are advised for all
Staten Island is seeing the highest rolling new case rate in this latest wave, followed by Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn, according to the latest data from the health department
COVID-19 transmission is up 33% in New York City in the last week and rising markedly in each of the five boroughs, new health department data out Thursday shows, amid a sixth pandemic wave fueled by what some have called the "worst version" of omicron yet.
The subvariant in question, the proven-to-be vaccine-resistant BA.5 out of South Africa, established national dominance earlier this month, according to the CDC, and now appears to be oversweeping New York City at a rapid rate.
The strain accounts for 57% of all positive COVID samples genetically sequenced for the week of data ending July 2, a statistic that emerged only as of Thursday's weekly update from the city health department. It likely is a significant undercount, considering just 12% of positives in the city underwent the process to isolate variants over the last week, and that the city's case count doesn't even include the likely flooding number of at-home confirmations that never get officially recorded.
Plus, there's the swell of people who don't experience symptoms significant enough, including from omicron's BA.5, to know they should test for COVID at all if they haven't had known exposures.
And while those who notice the widening line atop New York City's variant data page may wonder what omicron "other" means is on tap next, many find themselves reeling anew -- and frustrated by what has become a hamster wheel-like-environment that relentlessly churns out threat upon threat. These days, it's just a question of which borough will see it worse.
And the dorkdongs continue to toddle on, toddle on, whining, whining, whining that covid continues to be a dreadful threat, with dreadful effect on the social, medical, economic and emotional health and strength of us all, in ways various and, increasingly revealed to be nasty and cruel and lasting.
This is the second and final week of the Nagoya Basho in Japan, and so far 20% of all the rikishi in the makauuchi division (the top tier) are out as a result of someone in their stables getting Covid. Lots of fusensho matches yesterday, and an Ozeki and one of the wrestlers who was in the title chase had to drop out as a result of his heya getting Covid.
So far the Dewanoumi, Naruto, Tamanoi and Sadogatake heyas have withdrawn all of their wrestlers. Apparently Omicron BA4/5 is running hot in Japan right now, so you know that members of the kyokai have it, too.
I was surprised when they announced that they would permit full fan attendance at Nagoya, but the demand for Ozumo and the need for the association to get some revenue apparently outweighed caution. All the wrestlers traveling to Nagoya, all the fans in the stands, it just seems like the inevitable happened.
In geographically related gossip, we could be in for an actual (not a media misreporting) semiconductor bust, as there are whispers that Omicron BA4/5 has hit both Sumco and ShinEtsu, suppliers of about 60% of wafers worldwide. So that ain't great, either.

Potential dangers of reinfection (draft paper)
Unfortunately, this seems to be more data-based rather than mechanism-based. Hope there will be more granular data and studies soon.
to be honest, that graph is essentially useless. I certainly would not base any health care recommendations on it. long COVID is not well understood or even well characterized, so the data around it is very sketchy at best. then add in the massive assumptions that are made to come up with an extremely simplistic graph. doubt this paper gets published outside of his tweet.

Against every instinct and inclination I was pulled to a birthday party of a very old and close friend. They decided to hold it in one of those open secret, private speakeasy clubs that have become rife, and whose owner is an old and close friend. Which is why I didn't want to go.
It is the first time I've been in a bar since Covid.
Far more people were there than we were told to expect. It was a/ced to a fair-thee-well -- freezing actually (while outside still sweltering around 90 degrees). There were a lot of people there I didn't know so I had no idea how seriously they take Covid safety protocols. I wore a mask almost the whole time, though nobody else did, except Partner and Friend From Across the Street. We left fairly quickly, though not as quickly as I wanted. Our Dear Friend from Across the street currently has brother and his family down with covid, another brother down with Covid, his partner, who has cancer, also had covid, gotten in the hospital, and on our way home, he got a text that his daughter, doing training sessions with the Navy's Justice Agency, is now sick with Covid. He's been with all of them in the last few days, and tests all the time, but so far, nothing.
He and I both feel maybe our luck with Covid is about to run out.
We all will be testing a lot for the next few days.

She's doing better, and SPO2 is up to 92% - whilst on oxygen and not moving, still dropping to low 80s if she tries to turn over.
This is a notable improvement, though I don't know what her figures were at her trough.

Just yesterday I was talking to one of the other coaches after practice about the anti-vaccination crowd. We both think that part of the reason that some people are anti-vaccination here in the States is that they are young enough never to have seen a polio victim.
Anyone who has been around a polio victim can understand exactly why you desperately want to get vaccinated; whereas without that strong, tangible example, it is just an idea that you can reject.
So today I see that polio is back in the US, although probably from an immigrant or visitor in New York. Still, we could still get some tangible examples of this preventable disease, unfortunately.
N.Y. state detects polio case, first in the U.S. since 2013 (statnews.com)
There's a difference between being anti-vax and choosing not to get vaccinated. Some people think vaccination of the vulnerable is sensible but because they assess their vulnerability to be low they chose not to get vaccinated. Whether that's a good or bad risk decision can be debated, but they are not anti-vax. I would say a lot of people who fall into the young, healthy and unvaxed camp are not anti-vax, they've just made a personal risk decision. And their decision has perhaps been influenced by never having seen the effects of something like polio, and perhaps they would make a different decision with more information.
Anti-vaxers on the other hand care not about things like polio or smallpox being controlled or eradicated due to vaccination. They are fanatically opposed to vaccination and rational argument won't make them budge. They are also often statistically challenged by seeing that vaccinated people are dying from COVID-19, and they have no understanding that risk of death is a lot greater if you are unvaxed. They just see raw numbers and think the vaccine actually makes things worse.
This is a notable improvement
I'm glad, I'm sure this is a really tough time for everyone. I hope you're looking after yourself too

Problem is a lot of vulnerable people can't get vaxxed, and so are relying on the people around then to be vaxxed. So of someone can't take a polio vbaccine, it doesn't really matter if almost everyone else is vaxxed because no one's catching it to spread it, ie herd immunity.
With covid, admittedly, the vaccines arent really stopping the spread, but by lessening severity it at least reduces hospital admissiona, freeing up resources for serious cases, and reducing the exposure of healthcare staff (and vulnerable patients) to the virus

When were the Townships of Potter County formed and why is this important to genealogists?
Genealogists need to realize that this part of Pennsylvania has settlements (or villages), boroughs and townships. For example, Harrison Valley is a settlement - a cluster of houses - which is in Harrison Township - an area of land which may have many settlements. For example, the settlement of Mills is in Harrison Township as well. A borough is a large settlement that incorporated. For example, the borough of Coudersport incorporated from Eulalia Township in 1848.
The genealogist must realize that in the 1800s, people in this area of Pennsylvania would say they were born in such-and-such township. For example, I spent years looking for an ancestor born in Deerfield, Pennsylvania in 1819. I could not find any town or settlement of that name. Finally, I discovered that she was born in Deerfield Township, Tioga County, PA.
This distinction between settlement and township of where events occurred continued at least to the end of the 1800s. The 1874 newspaper entry for my great-grandmother's marriage says `` ... and Miss Addie L. Hill of Sweden'' The uninformed genealogist might think she was from the country of Sweden! But in reality her place of residence was somewhere in the township of Sweden, Potter County, not the settlement entitled Sweden Valley. Therefore, an individual could be born in Sweden (the township) and later move to Sweden Valley (the settlement).
It is even more confusing since some settlements changed their names over time. For example, the settlement of Lewisville was in Ulysses Township and in 1870 incorporated as the Lewisville Borough. The post office, which was located at Ulysses Center, was moved into the village, but the government would not allow a name change, so the mail was sent to Ulysses Post Office located in Lewisville Borough. After almost one hundred years, the confusion of two names was removed when in 1968, Lewisville Borough became Ulysses Borough [Reference: Potter County Historical Society's Quarterly Bulletin, No. 123, January, 1997]. My relatives always said they were from Ulysses but they graduated from Lewisville High School. When I was a kid, we would drive to Ulysses to see Grandpa Hyde. But when we entered the settlement, the sign said "Lewisville Borough". When I asked my Mom, why the two names, she would just laugh and say "Confusing isn't it!!"
See my map of Townships of Potter County.
The formation of the townships of Potter County was in three phases. The first phase from 1810-1828 was the formation of the first township Eulalia and carving from it the three large townships of Roulette, Harrison and Wharton.
1810 Eulalia At the time of the creation of Potter County, the entire area was in Dunstable Township, Lycoming County, and Eulalia Township became the original township of the new county on December 5, 1810. At creation in 1804, Potter County was rectangular including the triangular part that later would become part of Cameron County in 1860. Eulalia was named for Eulalia Deschapelles, wife of John Keating, the land agent who brought the first settlers into the area.
1816 Roulette Was organized from Eulalia Township, January 29, 1816. This township embraced what is now the townships of present day Roulette, Pleasant Valley, Clara and Sharon. Township originally named Roulet to honor John Sigmund Roulet, an associate of John Keating. It is believed that the change in spelling was a mistake made by the Post Office Department.
1823 Harrison Formed from Eulalia Township, February 6, 1823, named for George Harrison, a large landowner. The township at the time included most of the present townships of Harrison, Bingham, Ulysses and Hector townships.
1826 Wharton Formed from Eulalia Township, May 3, 1826. Named for Isacc Wharton, an early landowner. The original area of Wharton embraced most of present day Wharton, Sylvania and Portage; and parts of Keating, Summit and Homer; and that part of the county cast off when Cameron County was erected.
The second phase occurred in 1828 with the division of the northern half of the county into townships six miles square. The townships starting at northwest corner near New York State line were named: first tier - Sharon, Chester (later Oswayo), Loudon (later Genesee), Bingham, Harrison; second tier - Milton (later Clara), Hebron, Denmark (later Allegheny), Ulysses, Hector; third tier - Roulette, Eulalia, Sweden, Jackson (later merged with Ulysses) and Pike.
1828 Sharon and Clara February 26, 1828, Roulette Township was reduced when Sharon and Milton townships were formed. Milton later changed name to Clara and was divided into Clara and Pleasant Valley in 1847.
1828 Oswayo Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828, and was first called Chester. Name changed February, 1830, when the township was organized. Named for the Indian name of a branch of the Allegheny River that flows through the township.
1828 Genesee Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828, and was first called Loudon. Name changed February, 1830, when the township was organized. Named for the river flowing through township.
1828 Bingham Erected from Harrison, February 26, 1828. Named for William Bingham, an extensive landowner.
1828 Harrison Reduced to present size, February 26, 1828.
1828 Clara Erected from Roulette Township, February 26, 1828. First called Milton. In 1830, name changed because another town existed of that name. Clara was split in half in 1847 to form Pleasant Valley Township.
1828 Hebron Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828. Originally named Nelson for the pioneer Nelson family. Name changed when the Seventh Day Adventists [probably really Seventh Day Baptists. The Adventists had not arrived yet.] established a thriving community on Crandall Hill who gave the township the Biblical name.
1828 Allegheny Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828. First called Denmark. Changed it's name to that of the great river in 1830.
1828 Ulysses Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828. Named by Charles Parris for his native place, Ulysses, New York. Part of Jackson Township was annexed to the township in 1896.
1828 Hector Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828.
1828 Roulette Was reduced by Act of February, 26, 1828.
1828 Eulalia Was reduced by Act of February, 26, 1828.
1828 Sweden Formed from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828, was named for the native country of its early pioneer settlers.
1828 Jackson Was created by Act of February, 26, 1828. Later became part of Ulysses Township.
1828 Pike Erected from Eulalia Township, February 26, 1828. Named for a public road which traversed the township's area.
The third and last phase from 1842-1856 was the occasional carving up of the southern part of the county.
1842 Portage Erected from Wharton Township, in 1842. Included the present Sylvania Township. Part of the area was set off for the erection of Cameron County in 1860. In 1871, part of Sylvania Township up to Sinnemahoning River was moved to Portage Township.
1844 Stewardson Erected from Eulalia Township, in 1844. Named for Thomas Stewardson, an early landowner. Land of the great Norwegian violinist, Ole Bull.
1844 West Branch Erected from Eulalia Township, in 1844. Named for West Branch of Pine Creek.
1847 Pleasant Valley Was formed from Clara Township in 1847. The western half becoming Pleasant Valley. Named for its situation and the fertility of its soil.
1851 Abbott Erected from Eulalia Township in 1851. Named for Thomas B. Abbott, first postmaster at Carter Camp.
1853 Homer Erected from Eulalia and Wharton Townships in 1853. Named for the former residence of its pioneer settlers.
1854 Summit Erected from parts of Sweden and Homer Townships in 1854. Named for its exalted situation.
1856 Keating Erected from parts of Homer and Portage Townships in 1856. Named in honor of John Keating, principal landowner and land agent of the county.
1856 Sylvania Erected from parts of Wharton and Homer Townships in 1856. The name is that part of Pennsylvania which refers to the marvelous woodland of which William Penn was so fond.
?? East Fork Was called Oleona by some map makers. After the original township Eulalia was carved up, two disjoint pieces were left: the part around Coudersport and a narrow strip in the south between Wharton Township and Abbott and Stewartson. In 1890, it was "wilderness," no people lived there and still officially part of Eulalia Township.

Nano blitzes can never be stopped entirely so lets get rid of that notion entirely. But with slide protection, and blocking an additional running back or 2, you've always been in a position to slow even the toughest blitzes down.
This same feature is going to be in Madden 18 as well. Choose this option if you're anticipating your opponent to send heavy pressure in your quarterback and your offensive line hasn't done a great job of stopping it before.
Lets not be naive. This will not stop all of nano blitzes but it will provide you with a simple means to slow the majority of them down.
If you ever watched the Madden Bus on ESPN or been into a Madden Challenge, you realize that just about the only thing those players used was a mixture of cash plays. It would be idiotic to think that Madden NFL 18 will remove all of the money plays that worked in previous games.
But, defensive AI has become a lot smarter than previously. What's more, the hidden defensive coverages and guard the sticks attribute allows for more variation in defenses. Any good Madden 18 strategy guide or ebook together with decent user skill will make defense much easier than ever .
We have focused so far on going over how to stop other individuals' schemes. That is a great start but it's more important to have the ability to strike yourself and force other people to stop what you are doing. You are able to find plenty of suggestions about the best way best to get better in Madden on Twitter, YouTube, and various sites. If you put just a little time , you can hold your own in most franchises, leagues, or even tournaments.
Once you get a few pointers, then head into practice style and try out all of the new tips you gathered. Do not expect to hop into a rated game and immediately have perfected somebody else's Madden eBook.
More information is on madden-store.com where will provide instant madden mobile coins and cheap madden 18 coins. So if you want to buy Madden mobile coins when Madden 18 launched, you can go to mmorog.net, there are a lot cheap Madden mobile coins for sale on the site.

Hannah Deakin tried all the food she could while travelling around Europe and gives E&M readers her top 10 local delicacies.
Now I don't know about you, but one of the things that motivates me most to travel a foreign and unfamiliar country, is the opportunity to try all of their finest local delicacies.
Eager to get our hands on the tastiest food on offer in our neighbouring countries, my sister and I set out on a six-week whistle stop tour of central Europe.
Needless to say, what we discovered was simply mouthwatering. So mouthwatering, in fact, that I felt it only right to share with you our pick of the best European must-try delicacies on offer… beginning in Bruges, Belgium.
Bruges – a hop, skip, and a jump over the English Channel, and less than a mere few hours away from London – is an idyllic Belgian town not far from the capital, Brussels. Known most notably for its waffles, beer, and chocolate… what's not to like? I suggest you head to De Garre if 11% beer excites you – served with a helping of cheese to nibble on. Bruges is brimming with the best chocolatiers in the business… take this little gem for instance, Van Oost . For the world's best waffles you're in for a treat at Chez Albert where you can feast to your heart's content on the sweetest waffles in all of Bruges.
Lesser known delights include 'Stoverij', a Flemish stew cooked in beer; and 'Mosselen-friet', mussels and fries, found at Poules Moules . My personal favourite was the timeless classic, Belgian steak tartare – raw beef mixed with onions, mayonnaise, Tabasco, egg yolk, capers – and served with fries. If raw beef isn't your thing, then try buttery Flemish asparagus with croquette and fries (when it's in season).
Next stop, Amsterdam – home of the world's most beautiful canals, narrow streets and gabled facades. Not only that, but Amsterdam is the home of all things sweet, with (yes, you heard it) yet more waffles, and pancakes galore!! Typically, the Dutch locals like to eat 'Stroopwafel', consisting of two yummy waffles crammed with a big helping of hot syrup. Another favourite is 'Poffertjes', which are cute fluffy pancakes served with powdered sugar and butter. For a whole array of pancake choices, head to Upstairs Pannekoekenhuis.
Now, after all that sweet food – you'll be craving something savoury. Why not try some 'Bitterballen' – a deep fried crispy meatball snack, typically served with mustard. If you're feeling extra hungry, you could even go for a 'Kroketten' – a larger version of bitterballen available in cool little vending machines around the city!
Berlin is the city that I remember most fondly, not only for its nightlife and buzzing atmosphere, but also for the German creation that is 'Currywurst'! Pork sausage or 'Bratwurst' as the Germans call it, is typically served sliced with a big helping of curry ketchup. For a pre-Berghain snack, why not grab a local beer and take your currywurst on a stroll down the spree? It's a match made in heaven!!
Now, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Berlin doesn't have a sweet tooth, but you'd be wrong because baked goods are actually very high on their agenda! From breads, to pretzels, doughnuts to pastries – they've got it all. 'Berliner Pfannkuche' (a yummy jam-filled doughnut) and 'Quarkbällchen' (fluffy quark doughnut balls) are two of my favourites!
Prague, the capital of Czech Republic, is a colourful city – known by many for it's elegant baroque buildings and ornate Gothic churches. But behind it's grand fa ç ades and towering walls, a simple kind of beauty exists, in the timeless dishes and tasteful beers that have come to symbolise Czech culture.
Unlike French or Italian food, I didn't know what to expect from Czech cuisine… but I was amazed by the spectrum of flavours on offer. 'Svíčková' for instance, a braised beef dish served with whipped cream, cranberry sauce, and bread dumplings – what a combination! Anyone familiar with the episode of Friends where Rachel cooks a 'Shepherd's Pie-Trifle'? Well the Czechs' could teach her a thing or two! I can't believe I'm going to say this, but whipped cream and beef… it's a match made in heaven.
'Zabijačka' (pig roast to you and I) is a favourite of mine when visiting Prague. This dish is usually served in Czech towns and villages as part of the Mardi Gras celebrations, and the flavour of the meat can vary from one cut to another. Locals suggest checking out Naše Maso for the best local aged and smoked meats. FYI, it tastes great alongside some Olomouc cheese (the only cheese that originates in Czech Republic)!
Next stop, Krak ó w. My sister and I arrived in Krakow in the early morning, with just a few hours to spare before our onward journey to Oświęcim. For the first of our five meals of the day (the Poles do it differently than most of us) we enjoyed 'Oscypek' – a smoked sheep cheese – served with meats and pickles on an open sandwich. I would highly recommend you visit one of the many local markets to try this one – it always tastes better fresh!! Plac Imbramowski is a great choice if you want the authentic farmers market experience!!
For a lunchtime snack, we tried 'Smalec' and 'Skwarki' (salty pork lard with crunchy bacon bits) on a thick chunk of gherkin-topped bread – the perfect accompaniment to an ice-cold Zywiec lager. No complaints there!
In the evening we tucked in to a traditional ' Rosół' (chicken soup), followed by 'Bigos' (a hearty sauerkraut-like stew) made from fresh and pickled cabbage, leftover meat parts and sausage. Alternatively rich and tasty 'Pierogi' (stuffed dumplings) will go down well, followed by 'Sernik' (a dreamy cheesecake), with icing sugar and raisins – Kraków-style.
From Poland we crossed the border into Hungary, where we made a stop at the capital city of Budapest. Owing its name to either side of the river which flows through its heart, the staple cuisine of Budapest includes 'Halászlé', a spicy paprika-based river fish soup.
Another sure staple of Hungarian home-cooking is 'Paprikás Csirke' (a spicy, sour-cream chicken dish), although if it's comfort food you're looking for, be sure to try ' Rakott Krumpli', a baked potato gratin layered with 'Csabai' (a type of Hungarian sausage). And, you guessed it, paprika is a key ingredient in this one too!
Stepping away from the paprika pot… oh, wait, I'm sorry there's paprika in this one as well… we have ' Gulyás', a traditional Hungarian soup or meat stew, said to originate from 9th Century shepherds. Head to Fülemüle Étterem for the best 'Vadas Marha Zsemlegombóccal' in town (roast beef with creamy piquant sauce and dumpling)!
Nestled in the midst of Bled, a town in the foothills of the Julian Alps, is a picture-perfect lake overlooking the lush scenery of the Slovenian countryside. What better place to sit and snack on a ' Kremna rezina' cream cake… but be sure you've saved enough room after indulging in a traditional Sunday roast. The Slovenians love a good roast… the potatoes in particular are a favourite of theirs!
For something more hearty, try 'Jota' (sauerkraut and bean stew), or perhaps 'Ričet' might take your fancy (a thick pork and vegetable soup). ' Ž ganci' (a potato and buckwheat flour dish) is popular with Slovenians residing in mountainous pastures, and is served with meat as part of a wholesome evening meal.
For a late-night after drinking snack, why not try 'Burek' or 'Kebab' (filled-pastry and doner meat), from Balkan influence. You could even try 'Frika' (an omelette with potatoes and cheese).
Either way, you're guaranteed satisfaction!
Moving on from Bled we made our way to Salzburg – home of Mozart, The Sound Of Music, and glorious rolling countryside. Our first port of call? Well we had to try out one of Salzburg's signature sweets, the ' Mozartkugeln ', a marzipan and pistachio truffle wrapped delicately with layers of rich dark chocolate and nougat!
After strolling around the pretty cobbled streets and taking in the beautiful baroque architecture, we headed for a delicious dinner of 'Wiener-Schnitzel' (pan-fried veal). Infamous around the world, the tender yet crispy creation is often served with a lemon wedge and a generous helping of parsley potatoes. Cooked perfectly – it's nothing short of incredible.
We finished our meal off with an hearty portion of ' Wiener Apfelstrudel ', a traditional Austrian apple pastry dessert. The Von Trapp family would be proud.
Now everyone knows that Switzerland is famous for its chocolate. Lindt, Toblerone, Läderach… you name it and it probably originates from Switzerland. But if you're feeling more adventurous why not try 'S choggibrötli ', a chocolate chip filled bread roll best eaten fresh from any of Lucerne's reputable bakeries. Whilst you're at it take a bite of some traditional pear bread, enjoyed like the locals whilst sat overlooking Lucerne lake.
If you want to start your day right, do as the Romans do – excuse the pun – and fill up on 'Torta di Riso', a sweet breakfast rice cake. But don't fill up too much, as lunch is just around the corner!
Spaghetti Bolognese may be the first thing that pops into mind when thinking of Italian food, but why not try one of the locals' favourites instead? The rich tomato sauce you find in Bolognese can also be combined with layers of fresh green pasta, minced meat, and creamy bechamel sauce to make a banging 'Lasagne Bolognese'! (The locals are also quite partial to 'Tagliatelle al Ragù' – fresh egg pasta lathered in a rich meaty sauce, too).
Finally, a trip to Italy would not be complete without trying some delicious gelato!! A guilty pleasure for some, and a delight for all! I suggest you mix it up by trying mascarpone flavour.

Myriad O's Thoughts: Trumbo's season; Miller trade; World Series supremacy
By Dan Connolly
Mark Trumbo had a tremendous 2016 season. He led the majors with a career-best 47 home runs, drove in a career-high 108 runs and was seemingly in the middle of every key Orioles' rally.
He certainly deserves recognition for that season-long performance, and he received some Monday. Some recognition that I thought was a little odd, however.
Trumbo was awarded The Sporting News' American League Comeback Player of the Year, beating out Texas' Ian Desmond by one vote. Trumbo is the third Oriole to win the award (Boog Powell did it in 1966 and Rick Sutcliffe, 1992). This year's voting was completed by a panel of 174 American League players.
Here's the rub for me: I'm not really sure what Trumbo had to come back from. He didn't have a great year in 2015, but it was solid. Heck, it'd be a career year for some. He actually had a higher batting average last year (.262) than in 2016 (.256). He homered 22 times and drove in 64 runs in 2015 for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Seattle Mariners.
Hey, I'm all for Trumbo being heralded nationally for his best offensive season, but I didn't feel like he had to "come back" from an adequate 2015 campaign. But I don't get a vote.
As for awards that writers have some say, I wouldn't be surprised if Trumbo gets some Top 10 votes for AL MVP. But this year's crop is really impressive – and most of the candidates are elite defenders as well, so that might hurt Trumbo's chances of being in the Top 10 on ballots.
Trumbo's chances of returning to Baltimore
It seems like every time a player is a free agent, he tells the local media he wants to return to his current team. And very few do return. Both sides have to want it, and oftentimes clubs don't value their own players as much as other teams do.
But when Trumbo, a pending free agent, says he really enjoyed his year with the Orioles, I don't think it's lip service. This guy immediately fit into the clubhouse and culture, which isn't easy to do for a veteran player coming to a veteran team.
I think the Orioles' brass knew it was getting right-handed power that would work well at Camden Yards when he was acquired last December from Seattle, but I don't think anyone realized how key Trumbo would become within the established group. Several players gravitated toward Trumbo such as Joey Rickard, Hyun Soo Kim and Caleb Joseph, to name a few.
So, yes, he wants to come back (pardon the pun) and the Orioles would love to have him back. If I look in my crystal ball, though, I don't see it. Because the Orioles will have a payroll beyond $150 million even without re-signing Trumbo, and he is going to get a huge deal (deservedly so).
And I think the Orioles' brass recognizes a need to diversify the lineup, and so any available free-agent money may go to acquiring an outfielder with a high on-base percentage and the ability to lead off.
It'd be a shame to lose Trumbo, though, because he proved he has value beyond homer-hitting.
Revisiting the Miller trade – briefly
With Cleveland reliever Andrew Miller wowing everyone in the postseason, I've received the inevitable correspondence from readers about how the Orioles never should have let him go. Or, the flip side, the Orioles never should have traded promising lefty Eduardo Rodriguez to Boston for three months of Miller in 2014.
I respectfully disagree with both. Because this kind of stuff happens in baseball.
Miller's a great guy and an awesome pitcher. And the Orioles may not have made the postseason or gotten to the ALCS without him in 2014. So, Rodriguez was a price that had to be paid.
As for not re-signing Miller, well, the Orioles had a dominant lefty closer named Zach Britton, and so they weren't paying closer money to Miller that offseason (he received a four-year, $36 million deal from the New York Yankees, who traded him to the Indians this July for a boatload of prospects).
In retrospect, we can all say the Orioles should have made Miller the same offer that winter – the truth is the Orioles made him no formal offer at all.
But, at the time, most people were blown away by how much the Yankees gave a non-closer. The Yankees can take those risks, and it panned out wonderfully for them. Most other teams have to be a little more budget-conscious.
No question, Miller is dominant. No question, he made the Orioles better in 2014. And he'd make them better now. But it's hard for me to hammer the Orioles for what happened in July and December 2014 now that history has unfolded the way it has.
It was viewed as a rental then; that's what it became. And it served its purpose.
Nothing like the World Series
I've always maintained that I am no longer a fan of any baseball team, because I have a job to do and I have to be impartial – or readers will question where I'm coming from. That said, I am like a kid when the World Series starts.
For my money, it's the best championship in pro sports. Add in that this year's October Classic features two teams that haven't won in decades (and then some) and it should be even more exciting. Here's hoping for seven games.
And here's to hoping that each of those seven games are completed in less than in less than 4 hours. Go Tribe!!
No kidding. Now that I'm not covering the World Series, it sure does go too late.
Trumbo- I was thinking the same thing Dan. It's nice he got an award, but it's not like he came back from Tommy John or Painkiller addiction or something. Oh well, maybe starting off Award season with a surprise bodes well for Mr Brittons case later in the week.
Miller- I so sick of the Eduardo Rodriguez second guessing. Rodriguez tops out at maybe a number 4. He's not Clayton Kershaw, contrary to what some O's fans think, whereas without Andrew Miller, there is no ALCS in 2014. You can bash Duquette for Gerardo Parra, Travis Snider etc, but Andrew Miller was arguably the best transaction he has made during his entire tenure.
The Series- It is indeed a glorious time for baseball, with the most eyeball attracting matchup the league could have wanted for the Fall Classic. With the challenges the NFL has faced of late, MLB should exploit this to the max. They'll never be the giant monolith they were in the 60's, but they can still gobble up market-share where they can get it. One thing I am curious about is the Commissioners Office feeling on the pre-game show. I'd imagine it annoys them a little that, during their showcase, crown jewel event, the first thing viewers see is… A-Rod and Pete Rose, probably the 2 most polarizing figures in the whole sport.
I missed the pregame … or not missed it.
No kidding, Stache. They need to add Clemens and Bonds and the Ghost of Shoeless Joe. … ya missed nothing Boog.

Donald Trump unveils U.S. Space Force official flag
May 16, 2020 by Albino Galuppini
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force unveiled its service flag on Friday, when top Pentagon officials presented President Donald Trump with the sixth military branch's official colors during a private Oval Office ceremony marking Armed Forces Day.
In photos tweeted out by a Reuters photographer, Trump is seen smiling as the Space Force's senior enlisted leader, Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman, holds up the new flag representing the military service charged with carrying out the Pentagon's space-based operations. The new service was officially stood up in December when the president — who championed the force's cause even as some Pentagon leaders initially pushed back on it necessity — signed a law mandating its creation.
The brief ceremony was open only to the daily White House press pool, which includes a reporter and news photographer who share details of the event with other media members. The pool photographer, Steve Holland with the Reuters news agency, shared the photo from inside the Oval Office, revealing the black flag for the new service — the first new military branch in 72 years.
Among people attending the ceremony were the Space Force's top officer Gen. Jay Raymond, Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett, Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who said the flag reveal was "a very historic moment," according to a pool report.
Raymond, the chief of space operations, told Trump that the prominent star design on the black and platinum-colored flag represented the North Star, which "signifies our core value, our guiding light."

Digital trade war looms as US attacks UK over digital services tax
Image: © Florin/Stock.adobe.com
The spectre of a wider EU-US digital trade war could haunt minds of EU leaders as a vital digital tax decision looms.
Europe's plans to apply an EU digital services tax (DST) might be given a second thought as the US has already fired the first warning shots in a potential trade war over the UK's digital tax plans.
Senior US politicians have voiced concern about the plan and warned it might prompt retaliatory action from Washington DC.
Earlier this week, UK chancellor of the exchequer, Philip Hammond, outlined plans to hit tech giants such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple with a DST from 2020. The 2pc tax, revealed in the latest UK budget, will target revenues earned in the UK by online players ranging from search engines to social networks. The tax will only apply to companies that generate more than £500m a year in global revenues.
Simultaneous to this, EU leaders are due to make a decision about an EU-wide version of the DST, which will apply a 3pc levy against digital players earning more than €750m a year and could take €5bn a year out of the coffers of the embarrassingly rich tech giants.
Tech sabre-rattling
However, none of the bright sparks behind the DST or the EU's version of it have factored in US displeasure of a tax on its companies overseas. This is a particularly large oversight considering how pugnacious the US has been in its trade wars against China of late.
"If the United Kingdom or other countries proceed, that will prompt a review of our US tax and regulatory approach to determine what actions are appropriate to ensure a level playing field in global markets," said Republican representative Kevin Brady.
Brady, who helped shepherd in US tax cuts through Congress last year, described the UK's decision as "troubling". US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin also voiced "strong concern" about different countries' efforts to develop a DST.
According to the BBC, a slew of business groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce and the US Council for International Business, have also come out against the UK plan.
In Europe, the drive to create a digital tax is being largely led by France, Germany and the UK, for a tougher approach to alleged tax avoidance by tech giants such as Facebook, Google, Apple and Spotify.
Ireland, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Finland are joined at the hip in their efforts to thwart the EU digital tax proposal. Tech giants have also warned that the proposed DST – which the Austrian EU presidency could approve by December – could see them taxed double for the same revenue. Ireland stands to lose up to €160m a year in lost tax revenue if the EU presses ahead with the new digital tax plans.
Next week's Ecofin Council in Brussels will have a crucial bearing on whether this tax proposal lives or dies. Spain has already revealed plans to apply a 3pc tax on digital companies with a worldwide turnover of €750m or more, or taxable turnover in Spain of €3m or more. But will the rest of Europe follow suit?
According to RTÉ, there are mixed reports suggesting the technical work behind a proposal for an EU-wide digital tax is not going very well and that the European Commission proposal is built on the wrong legal base.
It is understood that 19 out of 28 EU states are supportive of a measure for a digital tax.

Geschichte
Im 18. Jahrhundert war das Land des heutigen Riga Teil des "Mill Seat Tract", das beim Phelps und Gorham Purchase erworben wurde. Bald darauf erwarb Robert Morris aus Philadelphia das Land und verkaufte es an das Anwesen von Sir William Pulteney, 5th Baronet.

Das Gebiet von Riga war ursprünglich Teil des Ontario County, das 1789 von New York eingerichtet wurde. Später wurde es Teil des Genesee County. Die erste organisierte Stadt zwischen dem Genesee River und dem Eriesee war Northampton. Im Jahr 1802 wurde Northampton in Leicester, Batavia, Southampton, Northampton und East und West Pulteney – nach Sir William Pulteney – aufgeteilt. Im Jahr 1808 wurden East und West Pulteney zu East und West Riga, und 1809 wurde die Stadt Riga gegründet.

Jamb schedules UTME mop up exam for 18,000 candidates
Micheal Ace — 29 July 2021 add comment
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled a mop-up UTME for 18,000 candidates for August 6 in some selected locations in Nigeria.
JAMB's spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Mr Benjamin said that no candidate, whose result had been duly released, would be rescheduled for another examination, contrary to the sponsored fake news being circulated on the social media.
"Following a detailed investigation and careful analysis of the highly-successful 2021 UTME, and with due consultation (resulting in gracious concession) with NECO, concerning the timetable of the council's ongoing SSCE, JAMB has scheduled a mop up UTME for August 6, 2021, in some selected locations across the nation.
"No fewer than 18,000 candidates slated for the examination are being notified through both text messages on their designated phone numbers and their JAMB profiles.
"In addition, the candidates can check using their registration number on http://www.jamb.gov.ng/2021mopup," he said.
He listed the rescheduled categories as: Candidates who could not be initially scheduled for examination owing to their inability to timely procure and supply their mandatory NINs or profile codes until after the close of the registration.
The official noted that those candidates were, therefore, had to purchase bank drafts (as against the usual vending of PINs) after the scheduled period for the examination, and were later registered.
Also on the list are a few candidates who encountered peculiar biometric verification problems, or who failed biometric verification on the examination date (and were recaptured) but were not allowed to partake in the examination.
He noted that adequate screening arrangements had been made to reverify such claims and any candidate found to be involved in any form of impersonation would be identified for prosecution.
Mr Benjamin also listed candidates who were unable to sit for the UTME, owing to the clash of timetables of the examination and the ongoing NABTEB examinations, and whose particulars had been verified and supplied directly to JAMB by NABTEB.
He said that candidates who had been ascertained by JAMB to have experienced genuine rescheduling/technical problems, as was the case in 30 of the 760 centres used for the examination, were included on the list.
According to him, the rescheduled candidates are to print fresh examination notification slips containing the venue and time of the examination.
"The slips are to be printed from the JAMB website https://www.jamb.gov.ng using the candidates' registration number from August 1.
"The Board strongly advises candidates to avoid supplying their vital information including registration number to fraudsters, who are abundant especially in cybercafe(s), tutorial centres springing up almost everywhere in the nation, as a result of the illicit activities of examination syndicates.
"CBT centres approved by JAMB, which are consistently monitored, are relatively more secure for printing examination notification slips by candidates who cannot print such on their own," Mr Benjamin stated.

Has online higher ed stopped growing? Dive Brief: The most recent figures available from the U.S.
Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics show that the number of students taking online postsecondary courses in the U.S. has essentially stopped growing. The figures are from data for the fall 2013 term, and they show the first ever lack of growth in online courses, according to Phil Hill, an education technology consultant who writes the e-Literate blog. The year-over-year change in students taking at least one online course was 1.4%, or a growth to 5.52 million from 5.44 million, considered to be statistically insignificant in part because of colleges and universities that changed how they reported the data during the year.
Dive Insight: As Hill points out, this could become a big story if other data supports the same conclusion, especially considering that so much analysis of higher education assumes that online enrollment and course numbers will grow larger and larger. Recommended Reading. Splitting professorial duties in flipped classrooms raises questions. Dive Brief: As video lectures in flipped classroom settings become more commonplace, they raise the question of whether in-classroom professors should be sidekicks to video-lecture star professors.
One such situation is at Brigham Young University, where Norman Nemrow, a retired accounting professor, still has his renowned video lectures headlining introductory accounting classes while another professor handles the live-classroom teaching, the Chronicle of Higher Education reports. When teaching a class with a video professor, the live professor has to be able to keep his or her ego in check while bridging in-class teaching to the video professor's material.
