Risk of collision between cyclists and pedestrians at outdoor restaurant sheds
Cyclists travelling at a high rate of speed in bike lanes crossing outdoor dining areas in New York City are putting restaurant staff and clients at danger and a restaurant owner who tried to put speed bumps on the bike lane had the DOT remove them shortly after.
After an e-bike rider almost hit a child in front of his restaurant, Jose Chu, the owner of Flor de Mayo bought two plastic speed bumps and installed them in front of his restaurant. Flor de Mayo is located in the Upper West Side on Amsterdam Avenue between 83rd and 84th Streets. Cyclists and e-bikes are constantly zipping through the popular bike lane with e-bikes often going 20 miles an hour near the restaurant sheds. While Shu says speedy cyclists "are an accident waiting to happen'", Upper West Side cyclists were pretty quick at denouncing the speed bumps on social media and calling them "an accident waiting to happen". A cyclist tweeted a pic of the new bumps and mentioned that her bike severely jolted as she rode over them. Bike advocates followed up on the tweet asking officials to remove them and the DOT got quickly involved. 24h later, a NYC Department of Transportation employee showed up at the restaurant front door and asked Chu to remove the speed bumps. The employee mentioned that the speed bumps were illegal and caused a hazard to cyclists. He told Chu that restaurants had to use signs asking cyclists to slow down.
When interviewed by the West Side Rag, Chu said he already has signs but cyclists simply ignored them. That is why he tried a new tactic. He said he tried to go over the speed bumps with a bike and it was fine as long as he was going slowly.

A cyclist and pedestrian died in Harlem this week-end in two separate accidents
A bicyclist died after being struck by a truck in Harlem, New York on Friday morning around 8:30 am
The driver of the truck was driving illegally on the bus-only lane on First Avenue near 118th Street when he struck the 41 year old bicyclist. The police also mentioned that the bicyclist was riding the wrong way. The truck driver stayed at the scene of the accident and was asked to submit himself to the breathalyzer which came out negative. He was not charged despite recklessly travelling on the bus lane while he was supposed to drive on the 3 other traffic lanes of First Ave.
While looking at past traffic violations, the truck has a a history of recklessness with 159 violations since 2014 including red lights and speeding. The cyclist seemed to have been crushed between the truck and a car that was illegally parked in front of a "No Standing Anytime" sign. The victim is the 24th bicyclists to die in a traffic accident this year. He is also was one of two victims who died in a traffic accident in East Harlem this week-end. Read more in the Gothamist

Every day cyclists are injured in accidents and drivers who struck them are going away without even a summons
Around 20 people are injured in bicycle accidents in New York City every day. The majority of these accidents are cyclists struck by cars. When a cyclist is struck by a motor vehicle, the injuries are often serious because cyclists do not have any protection expect sometimes for their helmet which is not mandatory in New York City.
Most common injuries sustained by cyclists in a crash are head injuries
Head injuries account for around half of bicycle accident injuries. They can lead to long term disabilities especially for those cyclists who suffered traumatic injury such as skull fracture, cranial hemorrhage, concussion or contusion. Other frequent injuries sustained when a cyclist is hit by a car are fractures and dislocation including facial, dental and ribs fractures. Internal organs are often injured as well and ruptured spleen, pancreatic trauma, bowel and renal contusions as well as hernia are frequent. Cyclists also frequently get impaled by their handle bar resulting in life-threatening injuries.

Delivery man on e-bike killed by hit and run driver in Harlem, New York
A driver fatally struck an e-bike rider in New York and then fled the scene of the accident. 42 year old Ernesto Guzman of East Harlem was delivering a pizza on his e-bike yesterday around 4:30 pm when a black Chevrolet Tahoe SUV with TLC plates crashed into him. The driver then left, leaving the man dying on the street. The accident occurred in East Harlem at the intersection of E. 97th Street and Second Avenue. The Police found the vehicle abandoned by the driver on E. 96th Street. They are still looking for the runaway driver. The victim had delivery bags with him and a witness at a nearby Deli told the NY Daily News that they flew 3 feet away during the collision. The witness also mentioned that the victim was badly injured with a lot of blood coming out of his head.
When EMS and the police arrived, they transported the victim to a hospital emergency room which was just yards away from the scene of the accident but it was too late. Ernesto Guzman was so badly injured that he passed away.
The police are still investigating the accident. According to preliminary investigation, the e-bike rider was driving south on Second Ave when he was hit by the SUV driving West on 97th Street.

Bicycle Accident caused by NYC Open Restaurants
A cyclist was injured in Manhattan, NYC, last weekend after he hit a wooden platform erected in a bike lane by a rest. Alex Sirken was riding his bike on Seventh Ave South when he hit a wooden platform left on the bike lane by Ofrenda, a Mexican restaurant in the East Village.
While the DOT has been allowing restaurants to temporary set up tables for outdoor dining mostly in parking spaces in the streets of New York City, the guidelines are clear and do not allow restaurants to install seating areas on "No Stopping Anytime or No Standing Anytime zone, bike lane, bus lane/stop, taxi stand, or car share space".
Ofrenda was not the only offender, other restaurants such as El Camino Cantina in the East Village were also reported blocking the bike lane with tables.
Bicyclist killed in MTA Bus Accident in Manhattan
A 19 year old female bicyclist was killed in a MTA bus accident yesterday. The young woman was struck by the BmX10 bus on Fifth Avenue at the corner of the 59th Street intersection.
It is still not exactly clear how the accident occurred. A hot dog vendor who witnessed the accident told the NY Daily News that it seemed that the young woman was trying to merge into traffic from 60th street and that she was struck by the bus and then dragged under the wheels for about half a block until the bus driver stopped.
The cyclist died at the scene of the accident from severe head trauma. The driver stayed at the scene of the accident. Despite its proximity to Central Park, Fifth Avenue doesn't have a bike lane in the Upper East Side area, therefore the many cyclists coming out of the Park at this location have to navigate between the buses and the car traffic which can be very dangerous on this busy avenue.

NYC bicyclist killed by hit and run dump truck making an illegal U-Turn
A 25 year old cyclist was killed by a garbage truck in New York early Sunday morning. Matt Travis is the 28th person to die in a bicycle accident in New York City this year. Matt was riding South on the Willis Ave Bridge bike path when a dump truck made an illegal U-turn to get on the bridge from a service road (technically 1st Avenue, see map) and fatally struck him. The driver then fled the scene of the accident. The police indicated that they are looking for him but they haven't released any information yet.
Matt was found by the police lying on the street with severe trauma. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Matt Travis was a rising star pro wrestler and a student at the House of Glorty Wrestling School in Queens. He was recently interviewed by Vice magazine about his passion. Friends and fans have been posting tributes to the young man on social media and at the location of the accident.

The cyclist who fatally struck a pedestrian in Midtown Manhattan was criminally charged
On April 24th, 41 year old Dameon Doward was riding his bike on 57th Street. He ran a red light at the mid-block traffic signal between Fifth and Sixth Ave and struck Donna Sturm who was crossing the street in the crosswalk after the light turned green for pedestrians. Sturm died two week later from her injuries. Daemon Doward was initially issued a summons for running the red light. However, he was arrested yesterday by the police and charged with second degree reckless endangerment, a top level misdemeanor that could send him in jail for a year.
Doward was delivering food at the time of the accident. Those who hire bicyclists for deliveries of their products need to provide safety instructions, appropriate supervision and insurance coverage in the event of negligence leading to injuries and deaths.
Our managing partner, Ben Rubinowitz is representing the family of Dona Sturm and the following statement was issued after her death on behalf of the family: "Donna Sturm was a vibrant, energetic and wonderful woman who died as a result of carelessness and negligence. She died because a bicyclist completely disregarded the law. She was crossing a street, in the crosswalk, with the light in her favor when she was struck. Unfortunately, she suffered horrific head injuries and, although the doctors tried their best over the last week, they were unable to save her life,"

Desperate for another healthy body, the Wild had assistant coach Darby Hendrickson suit up for Monday's practice in a helmet and full pads.
And that was before franchise cornerstone Zach Parise had another injury setback, forcing him off the rink after 25 minutes of drills.
"It's an experience every day, that's for sure," exasperated coach Bruce Boudreau said.
With five days off between Sunday's perplexing 5-4 overtime loss to Columbus and this Friday's game at Winnipeg, Boudreau designed a practice that challenged his players to compete harder and win puck battles.
That's been a hallmark of Parise's game, when healthy. He made it through four practices last week unscathed and was tracking toward a season debut Friday.
"I talked to him before practice and he felt great," Boudreau said. "That's why he was in a red color [jersey, with linemates Eric Staal and Joel Eriksson Ek] and ready to go. The next thing I know, somebody told me he went off [the ice]."
Early in practice, Boudreau put the players through a physical one-on-one battle drill that spanned the length of the ice. Parise, 33, had all he could do to keep up with 22-year-old defenseman Gustav Olofsson, and moments later, Parise headed to the locker room.
"I don't know why he went off," Boudreau said. "Obviously, something didn't feel right."
After missing all seven preseason games, Parise had returned to practice last Monday and denied that he is dealing with a back issue, keeping the injury unspecified.
"You feel badly for Zach," General Manager Chuck Fletcher said. "He's working hard, and he's in great shape, and hopefully this is just a short-term setback, if it even is a setback. But I'm sure it's very frustrating for him. Nobody cares and nobody wants to play hard and play well for this franchise more than Zach."
If not for Parise's latest issue, Monday would have gone down as a rare positive day for the Wild on the injury front.
Mikael Granlund, out since the Oct. 5 season opener with a groin injury, looked strong skating, stickhandling and shooting before Monday's practice.
Asked whether Granlund would miss weekend's games at Winnipeg and Calgary, Fletcher said, "Not necessarily."
"I think we thought it was unlikely he could play, but he continues to progress," Fletcher said. "So we'll see what the doctors think."
Marcus Foligno, who missed Saturday's home opener because of a facial fracture, had a surgical procedure Sunday and is close to returning to practice with a full cage facemask.
"Hopefully he can start skating Wednesday," Fletcher said. "He's feeling better and better every day."
All told, the Wild was missing five of its top nine forwards Saturday — Parise, Granlund, Foligno, Charlie Coyle (broken right fibula) and Nino Niederreiter (high left ankle sprain).
The schedule has been somewhat forgiving, with the Wild playing only two games per week through the season's first three weeks.
"I guess if you're going to have a five-day break, now is the time to have it, let guys start catching up on their injuries, get things together," veteran center Matt Cullen said. "These are those adversity stretches that you face throughout the course of the season."
Fletcher promoted four forwards from Iowa for last Saturday's game — Luke Kunin, Landon Ferraro, Zack Mitchell and Christoph Bertschy — and quickly reassigned them to Iowa, preserving salary cap space.
Fletcher said the reinforcements will be back Thursday, giving them one day to practice with the team before the Winnipeg game.
In the meantime, Boudreau turned to Hendrickson, who hasn't played in the NHL since 2004 but still looks the part at age 45.
"He keeps himself in fabulous shape, and he'll do anything for the team," Boudreau said. "When I phoned him [Sunday], he said, 'Whatever you need me to do, Coach.' "
He should keep his equipment handy. At this rate, the Wild might need him to hop over the boards during a game.

NEW DETAILS: Driver found hiding in Sidney hotel remains jailed after OSP pursuit
Published: Monday, July 08, 2019 @ 4:12 AM
By: Alexis Mathews - Breaking News Staff
A 24-year-old man is still in jail after a pursuit with troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol on Wednesday ended at a Holiday Inn Express in Sidney.
SIDNEY — A 24-year-old man is still in jail after a pursuit with troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol on Wednesday ended at a Holiday Inn Express in Sidney.
FIRST REPORT: Two in custody after police chase ends in Sidney
Johntae Trumbo, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, was one of two men arrested after a K-9 track found them hiding inside the hotel after fleeing authorities. Tyler Cockerell, 23, of Sellersburg, Indiana, also was arrested, though he is no longer listed on the jail site, online records show.
<?EM-dummyText [Caption]> (Johntae Trumbo/Shelby County Jail)
Johntae Trumbo/Shelby County Jail
Trumbo faces failure to comply, possession of marijuana, and felony criminal tools charges.
Cockerell is charged with possession of marijuana and felony criminal tools.
Both men have not been formally charged, according to authorities.
The incident started July 3 around 1:15 a.m. in Wapakoneta, when a state trooper attempted to stop the car, occupied by both men, for speeding on Interstate 75 south.
The driver reportedly sped off as the trooper was walking up to the vehicle, prompting the start of the pursuit.
Speeds reached up to 110 mph during the chase, with the vehicle weaving through traffic, driving on the berm, and failure to use the turn signal, according to state troopers.
Once the chase reached the city of Sidney, an officer deployed Stop Sticks on the interstate near mile post 93.
The pursuit vehicle, as well as the state trooper's cruiser struck the sticks, causing two of the trooper's tires to be flat.
TRENDING: Man arrested on murder charge in 19-year-old Trotwood woman's death
The suspect vehicle kept driving, and continued to be pursued by another state trooper while the initial trooper's vehicle pulled off to the side of the highway.
The pursuit vehicle exited the interstate and was found by authorities and a K-9 unit near the Holiday Inn Express on Folkerth Avenue, where the two suspects were tracked down inside.
Cockerell was found hiding behind a couch in the dining area, dressed in black with a backpack that contained 580 grams of marijuana, according to court records. He also had $2,200 in his pockets.
Trumbo, the driver, was found hiding in the hotel's stairwell. Court records say he took off his shirt and left his keys with a small bag of marijuana on the fourth floor under the ice machine.
Both suspects were arrested and taken to the Shelby County Jail.
A search of the pursuit vehicle resulted in troopers also finding an undisclosed amount of marijuana and a gun. The vehicle was taken for evidence.
Sidney police and the Shelby County Sheriff's Office assisted with the incident.


I would like to thank The Hour for the wonderful article on Brookside School's fifth-grade class trip to Carnegie Hall that appeared on the front page on Friday, May 29. The article was well-written.
Since I am not a powerful person, and my voice probably won't matter much, I probably shouldn't bother, but I will also respond to Marilyn Liberatore, former Columbus School principal's May 25 letter to the editor. Her letter was in response to my May 19 letter that questioned why Columbus school gets preferential treatment when other schools are doing such great jobs and on the flipside, why attention is not being placed on schools that really need the extra help. Liberatore was quite wordy. My words will be few.
Liberatore stated that just because something is written doesn't mean it is accurate.
In all of her words, she did not mention that the well-funded Columbus School has been included as a school in need of improvement and I won't go into the subgroup(s) that the "magnet" school should definately address equally in-house, while the same young subgroup(s) living in the area of the "magnet" school are being bussed all over the city to attend school. I respect those who are happy with the school, but also consider parents and people who have expressed different opinions behind-the-scenes where the public cannot hear or read..
Please let me clarify that my letter was not to hurt the teacher assistants whose hours may be cut to reflect similar hours as other teacher assistants in the district's schools. It was about central office leadership's fairness and accountability. I'm sure the staff is good and deserving of effective Bank Street leadership.
Those who support Norwalk High's pool fought a really good fight to preserve the use of our pool. Naramake and Rowayton, two of Norwalk's top schools, received the help additional classrooms to support their increased enrollment. This is great. I don't know how many other requests are out there, but I do hope that the pretense and the political games stops and that there will be more openness from central office.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) Creating a world where every girl taps into her limitless potential. That's the mission of Girls On The Run-Sierras, a KOLOCares Pillar Partner.
This non-profit is only possible thanks to volunteers, coaches and the bright faces of third through fifth graders. Rollan Melton Elementary is one of the almost 30 schools that opens its doors to Girls On The Run in Washoe County.
There you'll find fourth grader Millie Batavia, her mom Lindsey, who comes after school to help coach Girls On The Run, and Millie's father Jeff, who is in his first year as principal.
"More green time, less screen time is a philosophy we use at our house," Jeff explains.
For the Batavias, two of their daughters consider Girls On The Run a must for their peers. Their youngest hasn't reached the age to participate just yet. The added family support is a big bonus.
"My dad, he'll really give me confidence. I don't know where he gets these awesome...he'll be like, you can do it Millie, you've just really got to push through this. You got this," Millie tell us.
"The biggest gift to me, being a working mom, having any time that is devoted to being with them and also with the other girls who are there, you build a bond with these girls on the team, because you spend ten weeks, two days a week," Lindsey states.
From the 5K in the fall to weekly sessions to lifelong growth and joy, it's programs like Girls On The Run that empower our future and the Batavias say there is no better feeling than being involved.


Colaw fitness has an assortment of options. It's like a home away from home. You can always find a reason to go in there every day. Whether it's at to get a tan or to sit in the massage chair this gym simply has everything. No other Topeka gyms can measure up. With a gym this good why would you want to go anywhere else? They offer more than the majority of Topeka gyms. Not to mention the price. This gym is actually fantastic. Their memberships go as low as $5 how insane is that. I've never seen a gym membership so cheap.
No other Topeka Gyms saw this coming. Colaw has not been open for nearly a year. They opened up on New Year's Day last year they were amazed at the clientele that entered on that day and the days to follow. Topeka was in need of the new gyms and Colaw fitness filled that need. Colaw fitness has such an amazing community. The members are amazing. They're always delighted to be there in happy to use the equipment. Just as the tremendous members the staff is as well.
Colaw fitness staff is always sure to greet you when you were coming. With a smile on there face and always happy to serve. They are there to answer all of your questions 24 seven. Colaw are still happy to help which anything you need. They know how to use the facility in and out. They are trained to be impeccable employees. You can genuinely tell every staff members know their stuff. I don't know what they're doing to get such great employees but whatever they're doing is working. Colaw fitness staff tops every other Topeka Gyms team.
They have two training programs because options. These are not like personal trainers, but just they walked there. They have a few that walk you through equipment. They have an app day a Corday upper body and lower body. Each day they walk you through all the material designated that area. Ensuring you know how to use it and are using the appropriate weight. This is a time to ask any questions about the machines that you may have. They would love to clear anything up for you. This class can be beneficial for new gym goers. The second training class they offer is called CF 30. This stands for core fitness 30 days.
This program as a dietary program because nutrition is important. Again it is just a walk through just to ensure you know the basics of the diet. The trainer will sit down and discuss what all you can eat Derren. It's a vast variety, and you won't have to change your diet a lot. They sure you know everything about it and the step-by-step process. You can tell they're very knowledgeable about this diet because it works. If you have any other questions that aren't covered in the class feel free task. I'm sure the worker will know the answer. If not they will get it for you. This class can help you lose anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds of body fat 30 days. Just in time for your summer vacation because why wait.
You can tell: Colaw fitness genuinely cares about its members. They always seem to be going the extra mile. They even have membership appreciation night. This is where they should have the members how much they appreciate them. They reward them with several things. Such as free pizza! If you come in on the first Monday of the month between 4 to 8, they will be serving pizza. It's all-you-can-eat, and you can feel free to take it home with you. You work out with us you deserve a cheat day. That's the whole thought process.
Each membership appreciation my has its own theme. In December they do Christmas and January New Year's February Valentines. They want to get you in the holiday spirit. This gym considers their members more than any other Topeka gym's. I have never been disappointed with colaw fitness. They're always sure to help me with whatever I need. Anytime there is a mistake made they're sure to communicate the issue openly and fix it. This gym wants to make you happy because they care for you.
Colaw Fitness is there to help. This gym offers a variety of things because thats great. A facility that will allow you to stay tan all year long. They offer both standing and lay down beds. The standing goes for up to 12 minutes. The laydown goes up to 10 because that is good. The staff will help you set the foundation and will ensure it is clean before and after you go in. This ensures that you get a good tan and you'll be doing it in a clean bed. They do their best to make sure it is as quick and efficient for you as possible.
Not many other Topeka gyms offer a massage area like this one because Colaw Rocks. This message area provides a variety of massage chairs as well as Hydro beds. If you're not familiar with the Hydro beds, it is basically a water massage. You can choose how hard it massages as well as the area it is rubbing. It is very quick and easy to use. Use a tablet to change the settings for yourself because you need to relax. We do recommend that you don't use these for longer than 10 minutes. We want to be considerate of all other members. Colaw want to be sure everyone gets equal opportunity to use the facilities equipment.
Colaw fitness tries to answer all your questions the best of their ability. If you have not yet been a member, I do recommend going to their website at colawfitness.com. Here you'll find a lot of information on their equipment. As well as their memberships. Like I said before no other Topeka gyms can top Colaw. If you still have any more questions feel free to give them a call at 785) 409-8823.


On this last day of 2016, there is no time for summary of the year or getting ready for a big new year celebration or so. Today, I sewed.
We got a stroller from friends for the baby (I still wonder when he/she will go out, 8 days after due date…). Unfortunately, a cover was missing but there is never a "problem" that cannot be solved!
A reversible cover, with one side in jeans and the other side in rests of fabric I had at home. It took me about 4 hours and one detail must be improved but I'm pretty happy with the result.
Now, time for some more episode of "la trêve" (serie on Netflix we began to watch yesterday). And maybe a nap. The probability that I'll be awake when 2017 comes in is pretty liw. But I count on you, readers, to celebrate!

Spring is just around the corner. So for those of you who haven't already dived head first into a vigorous spring cleaning ritual, here are 3 spring cleaning hacks to freshen up your home and welcome the new season.
1.) Welcome, plants: Studies show that tasks performed while under the calming influence of nature are performed better and with greater accuracy, yielding a higher quality result. Keeping ornamental plants in the home increases memory retention and concentration, and research consistently links indoor flowers and plants with wellbeing. So add some fresh flowers or plants to your home interior and add some cheer and fresh oxygen to your home.
2.) Welcome, sunshine: Most people don't enjoy doing windows, but washing your windows inside and out will let in some sunshine and make your home feel lighter and brighter. Also, rid your windowsills of ratty curtains or knickknacks that block your newly cleaned windows. Who knows, you might discover a beautiful view you didn't realize you had.
3.) Welcome, spring: Now is the time to purge and put away your winter gear. First cleaning and then storing clothes and blankets in smart places like large containers that slide under your bed or vacuum sealed bags neatly stored at the back of your closet assure those fashionable scarves and winter gear will be ready to go when the cooler temps return.
Which of these 3 spring cleaning hacks to freshen up your home will you tackle this spring? For more spring cleaning tips or if you're looking to sell your home or buy a home in the West Valley, please contact Lisa Bray today.


Storage and file management on the iPhone is a concern of almost anyone that has run into problems where they were unable to install a new app or download a file due to a lack of space. This can lead you to look for items to remove from the device, and it can also make you curious about the nature of the space being used on your iPhone. This will often lead to wondering how to see how many songs are currently stored on your iPhone.
Fortunately this is information that you can find on the device, and it is on the same screen as a lot of other helpful information as well. So continue below to see where to find the number of songs saved to your phone.
The steps in this guide were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus, in iOS 10.2. However, these same steps work for other iPhone models as well, in most other versions of iOS.
Step 3: Tap the About button at the top of the screen.
Step 4: Locate the Songs row in this table. The number of songs on your iPhone is shown at the right side of that row. I have 10 songs on my iPhone in the picture below.
Note that this number does not include any songs that you have saved in other apps, like Spotify. This only includes songs accessible through the Music app and iTunes.
There is a lot of other helpful information on this screen as well. You can also see the number of videos, photos and apps that are on your device, as well as the total storage capacity, and the amount of remaining space. If you scroll down a bit more you can see information like your serial number, MAC address (it's the Wi-Fi Address) and other pieces of information that you might need in the future.
Do you have a lot of songs on your iPhone that are preventing you from downloading new apps, videos, or even more songs? Rather than deleting those songs individually, find out how to delete all of the songs from your iPhone and expedite the process a bit.

NYPD won't disclose what it does with its secret military-grade X-ray vans
Cory Doctorow 6:19 am Sun Oct 18, 2015
The $825,000 Z Backscatter Vans the NYPD drives around the city look like regular police vans, but are equipped with powerful X-rays that can see through walls and vehicles. US Customs uses these things to scan cars and freight-containers, but only after they're sure there are no people around.
For more than three years, Propublica has been suing the NYPD for access to training materials and other documents explaining what the NYPD does with the vans, and even though a New York court ruled in their favor in January, the NYPD is still fighting the order in appeals court.
This week, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Brennan Center for Justice filed for leave to intervene in the case with an amicus brief, arguing that New Yorkers had the right to know if the police were secretly looking through the walls of their homes while bombarding them with dangerous radiation.
The military-grade surveillance equipment, which utilizes x-ray radiation to image the inside of cars and buildings, is used to search for roadside bombs in Afghanistan. The NYPD has largely refused to disclose anything about how it uses x-ray vans on the streets of New York. The department denied a Freedom of Information Law request by an investigative journalist at ProPublica asking for records revealing the vans' public health risks, the NYPD's prior use of the vans, whether the department gets a warrant before it uses them or how long the NYPD holds on to images the vans capture. The NYPD also won't say how much the x-ray vans in total are costing taxpayers, though reportedly the NYPD is shelling out between $729,000 and $825,000 for each unit…
…In ordering the NYPD to produce records related to x-ray vans in Grabell v. the New York Police Department, the trial court found that the NYPD did not show how disclosing information about these x-ray vans might compromise investigations. The NYPD's refusal to disclose information is further undercut by the fact that other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, have already revealed the same types of information about similar technology.

The Trialeti Chalice is a silver cup from Trialeti, Georgia.

It was discovered during an archaeological expedition in the 1930s, it was one of the objects from the Trialeti culture that were excavated from Kurgan barrows in Trialeti, and has been dated to the 18th-17th centuries BCE.

The outside of the cup is decorated with two processional friezes,  the lower depicts nine deer, stags and hinds walking clockwise around the cup.

The upper frieze has twenty two masked men bearing cups processing in the opposite direction to the deer. They are heading towards a seated man with a raised cup. Between him and the procession are a couple of animals and two other objects, and behind him is a tree. There are various speculations as to the meaning and cultural influences of the friezes. The Encyclopaedia Iranica considers the animals to be depicted in the Hittite tradition, and the tree to be the Tree of Life. Others interpret an Egyptian influence, describing the men as wearing masks similar to those of the priests of the Egyptian god Osiris.

The cup is now in the collection of the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi.

Poll: Most Americans are Concerned That There Will Be a Major Coronavirus Outbreak in the U.S. and It Will Hurt the Economy
But, As of Last Week, Majorities across Party Lines Said the U.S. Government is Doing Enough to Prevent the Virus' Spread
Published: Feb 25, 2020
Most Americans say they are concerned that there will be a major outbreak of the coronavirus in the U.S. (55%) and that it will negatively affect the U.S. economy (57%), the latest KFF tracking poll finds. A substantial share (43%) also say they are concerned that they or a family member will contract the virus.
Fielded prior to Monday's steep U.S. stock market declines, the poll finds most Americans (83%) have read or heard at least some about the coronavirus outbreak that started in December in Wuhan province in China and has since spread to other countries, with dozens of confirmed cases so far in the U.S. A similar majority (87%) are aware there have been cases diagnosed in the U.S.
So far, nearly seven in 10 Americans (69%) say that U.S. government officials are "doing enough" to prevent the spread of coronavirus. This includes majorities of Republicans (80%), independents (70%) and Democrats (60%).
"The public largely seems comfortable with the government's response so far, but those perceptions could change if we see more U.S. cases and deaths," KFF Senior Vice President Jen Kates said.
Designed and analyzed by public opinion researchers at KFF, the poll was conducted February 13-18, 2020 among a nationally representative random digit dial telephone sample of 1,207. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (302) and cell phone (905). The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the full sample. For results based on subgroups, the margin of sampling error may be higher.
KFF also has an interactive map, updated regularly, that captures the number of confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths by country across the globe.

Not me, silly! The horses!
All the cows at the Bar W ranch had been rounded up, and the next event at the Carrizozo Cowboy Days celebration was the parade. I was wandering around town with an hour to kill before it started and happened upon this scene.
My first thought was, "Wow...this isn't your average small-town New Mexico parade." My next thought was, "Photo op!" I asked the teamster if he would mind if I took a few pictures, and he gave me carte blanche.
Then he mentioned that Wells Fargo didn't have a photographer for its New Mexico events and would I be interested and could I send him one of those round things with the pictures I took and he would send it to those banker folks in San Francisco, and the next thing I knew I was taking a bazillion pictures of the Wells Fargo hitch. If those banker folks in San Francisco like them, this could turn into a regular gig.
Mr. Hatch, the teamster, explained that there are 20 such Wells Fargo teams across the country, and each has a territory where they make appearances in parades and events. He and his wife own the four white geldings that comprise this team, and they are based in Mesa, Arizona.
Fitting the harnesses and getting the horses hitched up was a carefully choreographed dance. I probably should have been taking notes instead of pictures, in preparation for the day when George and Alan are ready to pull a wagon.
Hmm...do you think Wells Fargo would hire a two-burro team to pull one of their stagecoaches? We can dream, can't we?
The four white horses were a striking contrast against the colorful buildings of downtown Carrizozo.
The burro atop the fuscia wall is part of Carrizozo's public art project. There are 30 painted burros located throughout town. They will be auctioned off in the fall, with the proceeds going to local animal rescue efforts. As if this town weren't cool enough already.
Tomorrow, steer clear, the longhorns are coming.
I think George and Alan would be in fine company! Now that's a goal!
Fingers are crossed that this would become a regular gig ... how cool would that be!?!?
Beautiful colorful pictures. Are you going to bid on one of the painted burros when the time comes?
Hey Carson: Please, please take me with you next year.
Great pictures. I'll have to keep my eye out for a Wells Fargo team. They don't do business here so it will have to be out of state.
The team looks very impressive. Very good pictures.
Good luck on getting the photography gig.
Great pictures. Hope you and Wells Fargo get together, how cool would that be.
how totally cool! if i already did not love wells fargo i would now~! hope you get the photography gig that is dream stuff and Alan and George would need a minature wagon ... hummm who knows what could come from this set of pictures!
Of course they will want George and Alan, everyone does...but you will be too busy taking pictures, so you will have to hire me to handle George and Alan...Don't worry, i work cheap!!!
Great job, how fun to witness this in action, my favorite is the cowboy over the horse's back, great cropping on all the horses.
I would love one of those burros, I'm sure they will be too pricey for me but what a great cause, hope they raise lots of money.
One of my local towns did that with painted bears.
Wow, that town is cool!
There was a Wells Fargo coach in the two parades I rode in last year. Rico, my grandmother's 25-year-old (or more) Paso Fino kept trying to race the two shires pulling it. So embarrassing.
What kind of camera/lens do you use?
Pat, I'd love to have one of these burros for my garden but last year at the auction, they went for $2,000 and up. Maybe I'll win a lottery before this year's auction rolls around.
Anonymous, I use a Nikon D80. I think most of these shots were taken through the Nikkor 18-135mm that came with the camera.
Sigh. I want to move there. Please please!!
The white horses against the red trailer really pops! By the way, I sent a link to your site to my sister and niece to see the roundup photos. My niece was wondering if you sell photos because she'd like to hang them in her home. I'm telling you, you've got a great talent! Hope the Wells Fargo thing works for you.
Hmmm. I wonder in who's ear here in San Francisco I can put in a good word. Seeing's as how we just stole Mesa, Arizona's police chief and all. The least SAn Francisco can do is give you the photo contract.
White quarter horses? Very unusual and very pretty!!!
Sounds, like you may have struck gold, lol, taking photos for the Wells Fargo stagecoach.

What Makes Scotland So Romantic?
By kobowritinglife, November 29, 2017
By Glynnis Campbell, Tanya Anne Crosby and Laurin Wittig
In honour of Book Week Scotland, we hear from three American indie authors on why they were inspired to set their books in Scotland.
Is it the heather-covered hills and the breathtaking waterfalls—countryside so alive that it almost becomes a story character? Is it the haunting cry of the bagpipes and the powerful thunder of the North Sea? Perhaps it's the rich history and prehistory, evidenced by towering castle ruins and mysterious stone circles. Or maybe it's the mix of fascinating folk who have called Scotland home, the strength and character of the Scots themselves.
Oh, who are we kidding? Ask any reader. It's the men in kilts.
But as authors, we need more than sexy attire to inspire a story. The three of us—Tanya Anne Crosby, Laurin Wittig, and Glynnis Campbell—have a love for the country and culture that runs so deep that we've written over forty books set in Scotland! We thought you might enjoy hearing a wee bit about the romantic land that inspires us and makes readers' hearts beat a little faster.
Our Own Brigadoons
We all have our beloved places in Scotland, though deciding which is our favorite is a challenge.
Laurin adores the Kilmartin Glen in Argyll. The overlay of prehistoric sites—stone circles, standing stones, and a series of burial cairns—with layers and layers of the history we know, creates an amazingly mystical place where it feels like walking between times.
For Glynnis, there's something special about Stirling with its majestic castle and charming village. Stirling is sometimes called the kilt pin of Scotland, because it's the historic crossroads where the Lowlands and the Highlands meet, and it's a gateway to the stunning landscapes of Glencoe.
Tanya could definitely see herself living in Edinburgh. Not only is Edinburgh Castle the iconic Scottish keep, but the city is remarkably rich in history and full of culture.
Braw Lads
Whether it's Sean Connery or Sam Heughan, Gerard Butler or Iain Glen, there's no denying that Scotsmen are a different, sexier breed.
Glynnis blames the rugged terrain and weather. In order to survive, Scots have to be tough, with stout hearts and a good sense of humor. She admires their grit, their wit, their honesty, and their charm.
Laurin thinks there's something really wonderful about a warrior with a soft heart for the people and the country he loves.
That Accent
What makes the Scottish accent so alluring?
Tanya has no idea, but that doesn't keep it from sending a shiver down her spine.
Laurin agrees. It makes her knees weak when she hears it.
Glynnis thinks there's a brilliant music to the Scottish accent, which combines a seductive lilt with a low growl that's as rough and intoxicating as whisky. (She could listen to James McAvoy all day long.)
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Edinburgh
Whether it's peering through the arrow slit of a medieval castle, engaging in an enchanting chat with a local, or making an eerie visit to an ancient battlefield, a research trip to Scotland is always full of inspiring surprises. Here are a few of ours.
Glynnis and her BFF, author Lauren Royal, had the privilege of commandeering Roslin castle for three days. She never saw the ghosts that are supposed to haunt the place. She was, however, startled half to death by bats while exploring the ruins of the dungeon at midnight.
Laurin was looking for Carnasserie Castle with a friend and stopped at a petrol station to ask directions. The clerk had no idea what they were talking about until they explained that it was a historical site. She replied, "Och, the ruins? I never go to the ruins." They had come across the ocean to see what she ignored in her own backyard.
On another trip, Glynnis was lucky to interview the head chef of Stirling Castle, who taught her all about Tudor cooking. He later sent her a photo of himself in his Tudor costume, reading one of her books!
Those Men in Kilts
What IS so sexy about a man in a kilt?
All three authors agree that it's the confidence it takes to wear one. Nothing is sexier than a man with confidence. Historically, the great kilt symbolizes a connection to the elements that make Scotland so wild. It's made from the sheep tended by a man's clan, dyed from the plants around him, woven by a talented woman in his community. The kilt was a proudly worn symbol of his connection to his home and people. What could be sexier than that?
Glynnis Campbell is a USA Today bestselling author of swashbuckling action-adventure historical romances. She was once in an all-girl band on CBS Records and has done voiceovers for the MTV series "The Maxx," Diablo and Starcraft videogames, and Star Wars audio adventures. She makes her home in Los Angeles with her high school sweetheart/rock star husband and loves playing medieval matchmaker, transporting readers to a place where the bold heroes have endearing flaws, the women are stronger than they look, the land is lush and untamed, and chivalry is alive and well.
She is always delighted to hear from readers and other authors, so please feel free to visit her website at glynnis.net, email her at glynnis@glynnis.net, and follow her on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and BookBub.
Tanya Anne Crosby is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of thirty novels. She has been featured in magazines and periodicals, such as People, USA Today, Romantic Times and Publisher's Weekly, and her books have been translated into eight languages. Her first novel was published in 1992 by Avon Books, where Tanya was hailed as "one of Avon's fastest rising stars" and her fourth book was chosen to launch the company's Avon Romantic Treasure imprint. Known for stories charged with emotion and humor and filled with flawed characters, Tanya is an award-winning author, journalist, and editor, and her novels have garnered reader praise and glowing critical reviews. Tanya and her writer husband split their time between Charleston, SC, where she was raised, and northern Michigan, where the couple make their home.

Laurin Wittig is a bestselling, award-winning author of exhilarating historical romances inspired by the conflicts and mystical culture of the medieval Scottish Highlands. Readers say, "Great stories with magical mystery." Romantic Times says, "She's well on her way to becoming one of the genre's finest storytellers."

Will Minimum Alcohol Pricing Reduce Problem Drinking?
The culture of excessive drinking will only be curbed by raising the minimum unit price of alcohol, according to UK doctors. They are calling for the unit price to be raised to a minimum of 50p and are saying that this is necessary to relieve pressure on A & E departments throughout the country. Twenty senior health professionals have sent a letter to The Telegraph calling for cheap alcohol to come to an end and say their proposal of a 50p minimum unit price could drastically reduce the amount of alcohol related admissions to A & E departments.
Pressure on Hospitals
A & E departments are coming under increasing pressure and are finding it difficult to cope with demand for services. Latest figures have revealed that a fifth of those attending A & E departments are for alcohol related injuries or illnesses. Moreover, that figure rises to four-fifths during the weekend. In England alone, more than one million hospital admissions every year are for alcohol related incidences. In the past ten years, there has been an increase in alcohol related admissions in persons aged 15-29 by almost sixty per cent.
Some of the top doctors in the country have signed the letter in which they say, "The current A & E crisis is being compounded by the failure of policymakers to tackle the impact of excessive alcohol consumption. However, successive governments have failed to enact evidence-based policies that would save lives and ease pressure on the health, policing, and criminal justice systems."
Minimum Unit Price
The doctors then say that they feel that raising the minimum unit price of alcohol to 50p would greatly relieve pressure on A & E departments. They have also called for regulation, which would protect children from marketing as well as an improved system for alcohol labelling. In addition, they are calling for alcohol care teams comprised of nurses and specialist consultants. The doctors say that these measures are not going to impact on responsible drinkers but would help with the growing pressure on our accident and emergency departments nationwide.
There have been calls for minimum alcohol unit pricing for some time but, so far, the Government has been reluctant to introduce it. The Home Office has said that it needs more evidence to prove that this measure would reduce problem drinking. There have been calls on the police to tackle binge drinking and to adopt a 'zero-tolerance' strategy but cuts to the police force mean that this would add pressure on the already struggling public service.
Problem Drinking
Many feel that cheap alcohol leads to more and more people binge drinking and, as a result, causes a huge strain on the NHS. Problem drinking often leads to addiction and this, in turn, leads to many health problems including liver disease, cancers such as mouth and throat cancer, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Heavy drinkers are also at risk of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and paranoia.
Effects on the Family
It can be increasingly difficult to live with a person who has a drink problem. Alcoholics often neglect areas of their life in favour of alcohol, which can mean that spouses and children are left feeling hurt and unloved. Many alcoholics become aggressive and violent towards family members, making home life unbearable.
Family members need to realise that their loved one has a problem that needs to be dealt with. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. Unfortunately, alcoholism is an illness that needs to be treated; the only way to do this is to make your loved one get help. At Rehab Helper, we can provide that help. Our team of expert counsellors are on hand to discuss your situation and to offer advice and support on the best treatment available. Call us today.
