The issue stems from some kind of issue with the brakes on those pedal-assist bikes. "We recently received a small number of reports from riders who experienced stronger than expected braking force on the front wheel," each of the posts notes.
That's a safety issue. A too-strong front brake could put riders at risk of flipping frontwards off the bike. So "out of an abundance of caution," each of the bikeshare companies will be taking their pedal-assist options out of circulation until the issue can be addressed.
Two of the updates note that a new electric bike that can be accessed by scanning a QR code is currently in development. Ford GoBike's post further notes that "a portion of electric bikes in San Jose have different components, and will remain in service," suggesting that the issue is specific to a certain specific model of bike.
It's not clear when the electric bike option will return in these three locations, or if other markets are impacted by the issue.

Since I met you baby is een lied van Ivory Joe Hunter. Hij bracht het in 1956 uit op een single met You can't stop this rocking and rolling op de B-kant. Hij werd hierbij begeleid door een orkest onder leiding van Ray Ellis. Een jaar later verscheen het ook op zijn tweede album met de titel Ivory Joe Hunter.

Het nummer werd verschillende malen gecoverd, waarbij het ook werd omgezet naar andere muziekstijlen zoals countrymuziek en reggae. Naast Hunter hadden nog eens zeven artiesten een hit met het nummer.

Achtergrond
Aan het eind van de jaren veertig had Hunter de rhythm-and-blues al eens toegankelijk gemaakt voor een groter publiek. Vervolgens probeerde hij dit in de periode van 1954 tot 1957 nogmaals voor de rock-'n-roll die toen in de lift zat. Since I met you baby stamt uit die periode. Doordat hij verschillende stijlen wist te combineren naar een elegante samenstelling was een vernieuwer in die tijd.

Covers

Oscar Harris

Een cover die de Nederlandse en Vlaamse hitlijsten bereikte, kwam van de Surinaamse zanger Oscar Harris. Hij bracht het in 1976 uit op een single met I'm in love with you op de B-kant. Daarnaast verscheen het een jaar later op zijn album When friends say goodbye.

Hitnoteringen

Andere singles
Er waren meer artiesten die het lied op een single uitbrachten. Geen hitnotering was er voor de singles van bijvoorbeeld Molly Bee (1956), Luke Warm (1969), Johnny Watson (1976), Dean Martin (1983), Papa Dick & Star Man (1987), Michigan (1987) en  Joyce Bond (1989). De versies uit 1987 zijn in de stijl reggae/dancehall. De volgende singles kwam wel in hitlijsten te staan:

Andere covers
Enkele covers van het nummer verschenen bijvoorbeeld op de B-kant van singles, zoals van Gary Miller (Garden of Eden, 1957) en Paul Evans (Midnite Special, 1960). Daarnaast verschenen versies op ep's en muziekalbums. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn van Tommy Sands (Sands storm!, 1958), Johnny O'Keefe & The Dee Jays (6 o'clock rock vol. 3, 1960), Sam Cooke (My kind of blues, 1961), Bruce Channel (Hey! baby - And 11 other songs about your baby, 1962), Wanda Jackson (Love me forever, 1963), José Feliciano (The voice and guitar of José Feliciano, 1965), The Spencer Davis Group (The second album, 1966), Solomon Burke (I wish I knew, 1968), Jerry Lee Lewis (She even woke me up to say goodbye, 1970), Bill Anderson & Jan Howard (If it's all the same to you, 1970), Dean Martin (The Nashville sessions, 1983), Lou Rawls (Portrait of the blues, 1993), Dick Curless (Traveling through, 1995), The Asylum Street Spankers (Live, 1997), Willie Kent (Everybody needs somebody, 1998), Two Tons of Steel (King of a one horse town, 2000), UB40 met Lady Saw (Cover up, 2001), The Willy DeVille Acoustic Trio (In Berlin, 2003), Kenny Neal (Let life flow, 2008), James Cotton (Giant, 2010), Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears (Scandalous, 2011) en Neil Young (A letter home, 2014).

Illustration by Greg Clarke
The 10 Commandments of Writing About L.A.
We asked writers who call our city a touchstone, a refrain, or (simply) home for tips on how to tell our own L.A. stories
THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER CITY BEFORE LOS ANGELES
» This city attracts romantics. It stimulates our dreams—the vividness of weather, light, scent, and texture. You observe what you love, and you observe it very closely: If you're in love with someone, you talk about their eyelashes and their pores and the way they breathe. Loving a place comes out on the page. How much you're engaged is reflected in how detailed your observation is. So write an L.A. that we don't know but that you do, an L.A. that we needed the mirror of your work to see. Tell us something that gives us new eyes and adds another layer to the Los Angeles that is still becoming. —Janet Fitch, a third-generation Angeleno, is the author of the novels White Oleander and Paint It Black.
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THY CITY IN VAIN
» When I graduated from college in Illinois, I was either going to move to New York or Los Angeles. My dad was quick to offer an opinion. The frontier spirit survives in Los Angeles, he said; you can still move here without money or a storied family name and come from nowhere and truly make something of yourself, free of qualification, because comparatively it's still all new money out here. I've done my best to prove him right, and I've known many who do. This is where the world's brawn and brains drain to: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula. No matter what field you're in or what your fate may be, it means something to have taken a chance at the end of the continent. —J. Ryan Stradal is the author of the novel Kitchens of the Great Midwest, which was published in July. He lives in L.A.
REMEMBER THE VIEW, AND KEEP IT HOLY
» There's a trail in Griffith Park that I have returned to again and again. For the last year I've been taking it three times a week. I live in West Adams, so it's kind of a drive to get over there. But I make sure it happens because this is the place where I think about the things I'm writing or trying to write. It's not therapy, but things are getting worked out in my head. On the days I have extra time, I go all the way to the highest point, where you can see the Valley—where I grew up—on the other side. It's a perspective thing. Like I can see how I've changed as I hike. It makes me feel wiser. —Wendy C. Ortiz is the author of two memoirs, Hollywood Notebook and Excavation. She grew up in North Hollywood.
HONOR THY PAST (AND DOST NOT ROMANTICIZE IT)
» I am the grandson of Mexican immigrants, born in Temple Community Hospital on Hoover a year after the Dodgers left Brooklyn. I spent the first few years of my life three miles from that hospital in a little blue house on Dewey. Months before JFK's assassination, we moved a half mile west to a gray wood-framed house on Ardmore that I called home until I married and moved to the San Fernando Valley to start a family. But I commute each morning to my job downtown on Spring, about four miles from Temple hospital, now shuttered. Our grown son rents an apartment in Koreatown in the shadow of the blue-green, terra-cotta-tiled Wiltern theater on Wilshire, where I enjoyed double features as a child. Los Angeles is in my bones; its streets course through my stories. I keep nostalgia at bay: My L.A. roadways are gritty and crowded, no room for celluloid dreams. —Daniel A. Olivas is the author of seven books, including the novel The Book of Want.
THOU SHALT KILL (WHEN NECESSARY)
» When writing characters, try not to set out with a stable, monolithic understanding of how a person is because that will really hem you in. If you think of Los Angeles in a similar way—as being sort of a fluid character that you don't quite understand but are trying to understand through writing—you will be able to capture complexity that you couldn't otherwise. Also, I always say that I couldn't have destroyed a city that I didn't deeply love. When I had to close Canter's down in my novel because it went out of business, finally, I was really sad about it. I actually felt grief. L.A. is my favorite place. —Edan Lepucki wrote the 2014 novel California, which imagines a ruined L.A. She is working on her second book, which is set in and around Sunset Plaza.
THOU SHALT NOT MAKE EXCUSES
» Everything is difficult, and everything is easy. If you do the prep work properly, the writing flows. But writing is a job. And introspection can be a good excuse not to work. I feel that introspection is the enemy of any sort of creativity, so I try to avoid it, which may sound strange coming from a psychologist. —Jonathan Kellerman has written numerous suspense novels, many set in L.A. His latest is The Golem of Paris, which he cowrote with his eldest son, Jesse.
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL THE LIGHT
» Whenever I set out to tell an L.A. story, my first impulse is to go straight for the underbelly—to document excess or desolation, to bear witness to ugly contradictions and spiritual voids and gross inequalities—a tendency born, I think, from all the great L.A. narratives that have plumbed its darkness, among them The Day of the Locust and Play It As It Lays and Mulholland Dr. Yet while L.A. can be a place of terrible darkness, I try to remain alert to what is wonderful about this city, "wonderful" in the sense of extremely good and also in the sense of provoking wonder. The old saw about the specialness of the light here keeps coming to mind: As important as shadows are to stories of L.A., so is its light. —Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum is the author of the novels Ms. Hempel Chronicles and Madeleine Is Sleeping. She teaches writing at Otis College of Art and Design.
THOU SHALT BEAR WITNESS TO THY NEIGHBOR
» They say all politics is local. Maybe all writing is local, too. I wanted to write about the people I saw every day who were not being represented in fiction. I grew up in a neighborhood that was largely Latino, Vietnamese, and Filipino in addition to white. The typical representation of L.A. was very white, very media driven, very wealthy. And there's nothing wrong with that—I love Bret Easton Ellis as much as the next guy. But I wanted to see the L.A. that I knew: a multicultural, multigenerational stew of people all pursuing their own specific California dream. So how did I write my L.A.? Pretty easy. I wrote about the L.A. that wasn't already on the page. —Brando Skyhorse is the author of the novel The Madonnas of Echo Park and the memoir Take This Man.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET NEW YORK CITY
» L.A. is a city of space, both literal and figurative. The space to try things and the permission to fail. It is a city in love with no canon, a city that treats all dreams equally. The cheapest insult lobbed at this city is that L.A. has no culture. But I actually think there is freedom in being "known for nothing." There are lovely cities to our east that, had I moved there straight out of college, would have stifled me as a young writer trying to find her voice. There are cities that take pride in their heady definitions of what constitutes art, their rules of engagement, the dues that must be paid before a single word is written, before a single brushstroke lands. But Los Angeles never asked that I pass a test or choose a preapproved path before becoming an artist. No, L.A. heard my dreams and said, Sure, why the hell not? —Attica Locke is a novelist (Pleasantville, The Cutting Season, Black Water Rising) and a writer and producer for the Fox series Empire.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S PROSE
» We who grew up elsewhere first came to Southern California through the words of others before we ever stepped on that plane. Tupperware parties with Oedipa, crowd surfing outside Kahn's, snouting the Yorkie that Maria didn't carry in Beverly Hills. The words of the masters—Santa Anas, I call them—can paralyze even as they inspire. For a writer in (and of) Los Angeles, it's all about the courage to invent Los Angeles anew, even when (especially when) it's far more tempting to stay at Victor's bar and drink that second gimlet.* —Howard Rodman, a screenwriter and novelist, is president of the Writers Guild of America, West. *Rodman's references, in order of appearance: The Crying of Lot 49, The Day of the Locust, Play It As It Lays, Red Wind, and The Long Goodbye.

Builders have reached the top floor of The Star's Gold Coast multi-million dollar revamp.
The 17-storey, DBI-designed hotel will feature more than 50 luxury suites from 68 to 300 square metres in size.
The Star Entertainment Group's Managing Director Queensland Geoff Hogg said the number of tradespeople onsite was expected to peak at more than 500 later this year as the finishing touches are made to the Gold Coast's first six-star offering in more than a decade.
"Approximately 350 tradespeople have contributed to the completion of the tower, which has progressed at a rate of approximately one storey every fortnight," Mr Hogg said.
"The procurement of highly skilled tradespeople has been a strong focus for the project and has served to provide a significant boost for the local economy.
Custom-created Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) bands, crafted using three-dimensional computer modelling, form the unique curve of the 17-storey structure. On average, 34 individual panels make up each floor, while up to 70 panels will be required to complete the larger lower levels and more intricate upper floors.
On the top floor, cantilevered steel perched 67 metres above ground forms the basis of a gravity-defying infinity edge pool that extends five metres beyond the side of the tower.
Each of the pool's five prefabricated sections, weighing between 12 and 13.5 tonne, were built over a two-week period before being carefully lifted and secured into place. The floating structure is able to support up to 500 tonnes of concrete and water, and will provide views of the Gold Coast skyline.
A new bridge, which meets the existing Gold Coast Highway and Elizabeth Avenue intersection, will form the main access point to the six-star hotel and create a third access point to the island.
With the external structure nearing completion, the external man hoist has been dismantled and internal lifts made operational to allow internal trades to execute the fit-out of the luxury hotel.
The world-class addition will offer new signature bars and restaurants, private gaming rooms and true six-star service to assist in driving broader domestic and international appeal.
The six-star tower forms part of The Star Gold Coast's current transformation which includes the refurbishment of the property's existing facilities ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Subject to successful apartment pre-sales, an additional hotel and apartment tower as part of a joint venture with Hong Kong-based partners Chow Tai Fook and Far East Consortium, takes the property's total transformation to a combined investment worth up to $850 million.

daytrip: hochrhön
We had the chance to do a bit of local exploring near our home and we found the ruin (die Mauerschädel as it's singularly known) of a fortified church built around the year 1000 and abandoned about three centuries later during the height of the plague (Pest) in the fields behind the village of Filke, the inter-German border separating Bavaria from East Germany once passing through the nave of the structure.
In the 1970s, the whole of the structure was ceded to Bavaria for security purposes. Though the outbreak of the plague is considered the likely culprit for its eventual abandonment, another anachronistic suggestion is that once bulwarks of the region, Filke and other surrounding settlements that essentially became ghost-towns before being eventually repopulated sacrificed themselves to the marauding tribes of the Huns, able to Christianise the scouting parties only to be later betrayed and massacred. A maiden in white is said to haunt the grounds, but that is a relatively recent embellishment.
Afterward, we took another detour to see some marshland in a nature reserve (the whole region is a nature reserve, really, but there are also specially designated areas that are protected from traffic and development) but the trails didn't really get very near and the scrub separating it from the path was intimidating. H and I did however get the chance to explore the deep woodlands and encountered some deer that bounded past us before we could react.
More our pace, however, we found an assortment of mushrooms and toadstools that we resolved to learn about and come back to the clearing where they seemed to thrive.
The forest directly behind our house are baronial lands, still in the same family, and we wouldn't want to be accused of poaching.

My car is supposed to have only 4 speed automatic. Mine is shifting to a "5th" gear. Yes - it's true! And the tachometer even changes speed. I can feel the gear shift to a 5th. Did the manufacturer make a mistake? I'm certainly Not getting 5 speed mpg! At 18 mpg I feel like I'm driving like a 95-year-old grandma. Can you make any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks!
Hello there, The Chevy Aveo most certainly does come with a 4 speed automatic transmission. The 5th gear you may be feeling is the overdrive function of the 4th gear. 18 mpg seems quite low for this size of vehicle and engine, but it will also vary greatly depending on how the vehicle is driven. A qualified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, will be able to diagnose your issues, starting with a diagnosis of your vehicle's poor gas mileage, and recommend the best path to repair.
Q: Car won't shift into drive or reverse. How do I fix this?
Q: Engine is running horrible with stalling and noises under load.
Q: Steering wheel and ignition locked up.
Q: Transmission grinding when in gear.
Differential failure is a likely cause of this symptom. A faulty CV axle or transmission failure are also likely causes. I would recommend having your transmission and differential inspected by a professional to ensure all parts are working correctly.


Stem cell preservation is the method of extraction, processing and storing of stem cells. The preservation is done so that the stem cells can be used for the future treatment when needed. Stem cells have the extraordinary potential to transform your body into any tissue or organ. Due to this unique characteristic, they can treat more than 80 life-threatening diseases and deliver the baby, his siblings and the family numerous benefits.
Stem cells can be collected from a number of sources, the most popular of which is the umbilical cord. The banking of cord blood is the removal of stem cells from the umbilical cord. This is done at birth and is a fast, trouble-free and pain free procedure!
In India, the parents opting for stem cell preservation is very less which is approximately 2 in every 1000. This rate is very low when compared to U.S. which is 50 per 100 babies and Singapore that is 250 per 1000 babies.
Parents donate the umbilical cord blood free of charge in the case of public cord blood banks. This could then be used be for research or patients those who will be a match. Even though this means that if you need a sample for your own family, the nature of stem cell transplantation through cord blood storage means that you can get an almost appropriate match through the registry of donor.
Donated stem cells could be used to treat certain genetic disorders in the family that are often transmitted from generation to generation, such as sickle cell anaemia or immune deficiency. The stem cells collected from one child can also be stored for the treatment of siblings if they match correctly. Clinical studies also evaluate all uses of stem cells from cord blood in regenerative medicine, for example in the treatment of children with autism.
There are many banking facilities in India with branches in many major cities for private cord blood banking. Since it is an uncontrolled business, parents must check the accreditation, years of expertise, of number of samples already collected and stored by them. However, cord blood taken from a single donor is stored in smaller, separate containers (so that compatibility testing does not require the entire sample to be thawed and wasted). The storage facility should have power, fire security backups and should not be prone to natural disasters.
The storage facility should have power, fire security backups and should not be prone to natural disasters. They should also have a laboratory of research, clinical trial teams and transplant facilities, not just storage. The fine printing of contracts and the total cost of storage should be studied.
Banks often overstate the real facts. In addition, it is a growing industry that exploits the vulnerabilities of expectant parents. But before your baby is delivered, the decisions need to be taken.
One must remember that there are many uncertainties and perhaps many in this research. And the blood of the cord is not the medical insurance it is claimed to be.

NSWP Statement on International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers
Submitted by NSWP on 17th December 2018
17th December 2018 marks the 15th annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
For fifteen years, sex workers around the world have used this day to highlight the need for action to end violence against sex workers. The issues faced by sex workers often vary from region to region, due to different laws, social and cultural contexts, but one common issue faced by all sex workers is their vulnerability to and experience of violence.
Sex workers around the world are vulnerable to violence because of the criminalisation and legal oppression of sex work, compounded by stigma and discrimination. This vulnerability to violence is increased for sex workers living with HIV, sex workers who use drugs, transgender sex workers, migrant sex workers, and sex workers that are part of other marginalised groups.
2018 has seen continued infringements on sex workers' rights around the world, leading to greater incidence of violence. In every region of the world throughout 2018, sex workers have reported multiple instances of violence against them.
In the USA, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) were signed into law, criminalising online platforms used by sex workers for advertising and information sharing, including for safety purposes. Although the laws are subject to a federal lawsuit challenging their constitutionality, the effect has been far reaching, with many platforms used by sex workers for advertising and safety and information sharing closing down pre-emptively. Most recently, Tumblr has marked 17th December 2018 as the day it will ban adult content from its platform. In June, Desiree Alliance announced it had cancelled its 2019 conference in light of the risk the new laws posed to sex workers. Legislation similar to SESTA-FOSTA has since been proposed in the UK.
In Uganda, sex workers and women's rights groups protested against a spate of attacks on women, including women sex workers, which included kidnappings and murders. Sex workers in Kenya protested after the brutal murder of a colleague in Kisii and lack of action from police. Sex workers in Cameroon, DRC and Tanzania were arbitrarily arrested and detained under homosexuality or 'modesty' laws, breaching their human rights and sparking international calls for action. In Malaysia, a single mother was sentenced to receive corporal punishment for engaging in sex work.
Sex workers in France and across Europe organised a day of action in memory of Vanessa Campos, who was killed in Paris in August 2018. Sex workers have called for the repeal of the 2016 law criminalising the purchase of sex since its introduction; ACCEPTRESS-T said that "the law is 100% responsible for Vanessa's death. A 2018 Medécins du Monde study showed that the introduction of these laws has pushed sex workers to work in more dangerous conditions, with 42% of sex workers now more exposed to violence.
In Spain, sex workers protested the acquittal of three men accused of raping a sex worker, who denied the rape "because the woman is a prostitute". They particularly called attention to the lack of support from non-sex worker groups for their protest, saying "the violation of a sex worker seems to be much less important [to them]". Elsewhere in Spain, the government denied the right of a sex worker-led union to officially register their organisation, calling sex work an "illegal activity" (sex work is not explicitly criminalised in Spain). There has since been a move to introduce the 'Nordic Model' in Spain, which has been shown to increase violence and risk of exposure to HIV for sex workers. A similar proposal has also been introduced in Israel.
Sex Workers' Rights Advocacy Network (SWAN) said: "Sex workers in CEECA region continue to face stigma in medical and social settings, the laws and practices criminalising sex workers, and/or our clients continue to contribute to rights violations and vulnerability. Our working conditions continue to be unsafe and unjust, and put us at risk for rights violations and make us vulnerable to health problems. We demand safe working conditions and human rights, not further criminalisation that prevents us from being able to report violence."
Violence against sex workers globally is caused and exacerbated by criminalisation of sex work, stigma, and punitive laws and law enforcement. Worldwide sex workers use 17th December to honour those that have experienced violence or been killed during the year, and to call for the decriminalisation of sex work to protect and fulfil their human rights.
NSWP demands the following actions be taken to ensure the rights of sex workers are respected:
An end to the criminalisation and legal oppression of sex workers, clients, and third parties
Equal protection from law enforcement and the criminal justice systems;
An end to condoms being used as evidence of sex work
Equal access to rights-based health and social services for sex workers, including sexual and reproductive health.
For more information about the demands of sex workers, please read the NSWP Consensus Statement.
SWOP-USA is collecting the names of sex workers killed in the USA and globally during 2018. Their global list of names is over 100, and they expect to receive more reports of names to add before 17th December. For a global list of 17 December events, please click here.

Why Red Bull Racing Chose Sergio Perez Over Alex Albon for 2021 Formula 1 Seat
Make no mistake, Red Bull Racing is going after Mercedes in 2021.
Red Bull, runner-up in the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship this past season and a top-three finisher in the final standings each of the past five seasons, on Friday confirmed driver Sergio Perez for the seat alongside Max Verstappen for the 2021 F1 season.
The length of the deal was not announced.
In Perez, Red Bull is getting the top available driver in the 2021 driver market. Perez, who turns 31 on Dec. 26, finished fourth in the F1 Drivers' Championship in 2020 despite missing two races after testing positive for COVID-19. Only Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Verstappen finished ahead of Perez in the standings.
Perez replaces underachieving Alex Albon at Red Bull. Albon finished the season with four consecutive points finishes, but was just seventh in the final driver standings after finishing eighth for Red Bull in 2019.
Albon is staying on at Red Bull as a reserve and test driver. He'll be active in the testing and simulator development of Red Bull's 2022 car and be in the wings in case needed for active duty next season. One can surmise that Albon, 24, is still firmly in Red Bull's future plans.
The move to bring in Perez clearly shows, however, that Red Bull plans to throw everything it can at Mercedes next year in an effort to snap Mercedes' record string of seven consecutive F1 Constructors Championships. The 2021 season is key in that it is the last season before the sport unveils new cars and an overhaul of regulations for 2022.
Perez is a former Ferrari Academy driver. He's raced in Formula 1 since 2011 but finally came into his own this year. His win at the Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain snapped a streak of 189 races to start a career without a victory. Perez finished in the points in 13 of his 15 races this season, only failing to score at Bahrain and in the season-ending race at Abu Dhabi. Both DNFs were due to car issues.
Perez was only available because Racing Point signed former Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel to drive in 2021, and Racing Point team owner Lawrence Stroll preferred keeping son Lance in the team's other car to pair with Vettel.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner now has two drivers who won races in 2020 and have proven they have the potential to run up front. Verstappen won two races and Perez one this season. Verstappen led 87 laps and racked up 11 podiums, while Perez led 26 laps and had two podiums.
Albon, meanwhile, has led just 1 lap in his 38-race F1 career. He finished out of the points in five of 17 races this year.
"Alex is a valued member of the Team and we thought long and hard about this decision," Horner said. "Having taken our time to evaluate all the relevant data and performances, we have decided that Sergio is the right driver to partner Max for 2021 and look forward to welcoming him to Red Bull Racing.
"Alex remains an important part of our team as test and reserve driver with a key focus on 2022 development, and we would like to thank him for his hard work and contribution."
Estoy feliz de compartir esto con todos ustedes, en 2021 correremos con Red Bull Racing.
I'm very happy to share this with all of you, we will drive for @redbullracing in 2021 #GivesYouWings pic.twitter.com/vFsEbL5D0C

Florida health officials are taking the very earliest steps toward rolling out rules to let patients use MMJ after state lawmakers failed to resolve the issue during the final hours of their session earlier this month.
The Department of Health on Thursday published a notice outlining special procedures for them to implement Amendment 2, which passed with 71 percent of the vote last November and allows patients with a list of conditions including HIV/AIDS, cancer and PTSD to access medical cannabis.
DOH faces a quickly approaching deadline of July 3 to write the rules governing what could within a few years be a $1 billion MMJ industry.
It's not clear when DOH plans to publish draft rules. But under the procedure published Thursday, officials have to give 15-day notice before adopting them. It also allows for a three-day public comment period.

The impact that the global age of philanthropy is expected to have on the world

As the rich get richer, the world has entered an "age of philanthropy", with education the most popular focus of some 260,000 foundations globally, researchers said on April 26.
Increasing numbers of rich individuals, families and corporations are setting up foundations for social investment amid persistent inequality, said study author Paula Johnson of Harvard University's Hauser Institute for Civil Society.
"(Due to) the rapid growth of wealth around the world, more individuals and families (have) the ability to create philanthropic capital," she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The richest 1 percent of the world's population owns half of its wealth, up from 43 percent in 2008, propelled in part by gains in financial assets, like stocks and bonds.

Many super rich Americans have set up foundations which run their own programmes or give grants, including Bill Gates of Microsoft, Warren Buffett, who heads the Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, and the industrialist Koch brothers.
There are more than 15 million millionaires and close to 2,000 billionaires in the world, while 10 percent of the population live on less than $1.90 a day, said the report, which was funded by the Swiss bank UBS.
Globally, foundations have combined assets of $1.5 trillion - slightly more than the U.S. federal government's 2018 budget - the report found in an assessment of 39 countries around the world, including in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
The sector is notable for its youth and recent growth. Almost three-quarters of 80,000 foundations that gave their age were started in the last 25 years, the report said.
"We indeed live in a 'global age of philanthropy'," it said.
"If this trajectory continues, philanthropy will be poised to have an increasingly significant social and economic impact."

Many wealthy people were driven by a sense of moral obligation, as well as a fear that "when inequality becomes too acute it may threaten peace, stability, and the free enterprise system that created such wealth", it said.
Education was the main funding focus globally, followed by social welfare, health, arts and culture and reducing poverty.
"Education is seen as both a way to provide for individual opportunity - to bring individuals out of poverty - and at the same time as an engine for national growth," Johnson said.
Researchers were unable to get data from a large number of countries. About 95 percent of foundations surveyed were in Europe and the United States, where governments use tax incentives to encourage philanthropy.

Composing is an abstract activity; yet all life goes into a piece of music.
I have written a work in four movements not directly inspired by a particular visual image but rather, like viewing a collection of photographs, ideas have come from an assembly of situations – in this case, musical situations.
The first movement is dance-like and is based on a simple motif; the second movement pays homage to my hero, JS Bach, the opening quoting from his Sinfonia No.14 (BWV 800). In the third movement I explore a very different sort of motion than in the first movement and a completely different harmonic language and string texture. The last movement returns to the roots of dance inherent in the first. As for Bach, the notes themselves are always my constant inspiration and in Photography I have sought to achieve the potential of the patterns I have created.
Photography is dedicated to Sarah Suckling (cellist) and Oliver Wilson (violist) on the occasion of their marriage in December 2005. The work was written whilst in Florida, New York and London.

Apple's Tim Cook says FBI case against locked iPhone was rigged
Apple CEO Tim Cook said it's unfortunate the FBI's case to force the company to provide data from a terrorist's iPhone in 2016 didn't go to trial because that way the public could have seen the truth.
Speaking on Tuesday at a Time Magazine conference in New York, Cook was referring to the case of the San Bernadino shooter, Syed Farook, who killed 14 people and injured 22 others at the Inland Regional Center. Apple publicly opposed the FBI when it asked for access to data Farook's work phone, saying that what law enforcement was requesting would be a "master key" capable of opening millions of iPhones
The case was dropped after the Department of Justice was able to access the iPhone days before an expected trial. The company or person who was eventually able to crack the iPhone's security has not been made public.
"Now, after the inspector general reports have come out, our worst fears have been confirmed — that it was a very rigged case to begin with," Cook said on Tuesday. "So I think this was not the government's finest hour. I have personally never seen the government apparatus move against a company like it did here in a very dishonest manner."
The government report that Cook referenced includes passages that suggest some departments within the FBI were close to gaining the ability to crack the iPhone 5C used by Farook at the time of the Apple case but, due to miscommunication, those capabilities were never mentioned in the legal battle with Apple.
FBI leaders worry that encryption technologies from tech companies could enable criminals to delete or scramble evidence on their phones or computers, putting the information out of the reach of law enforcement investigators.
Officials refer to it as the "going dark" issue. It's reached a stalemate in recent years as strong encryption features have been built into products from Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other big tech companies.
Last year, Cook said that Apple would fight the FBI again if the iPhone case happened a second time. On Tuesday, Cook also called for government regulations on privacy.

Cooper, John Nelson
John N. Cooper (1906-1987) The Cooper Knife is one of the oldest continually manufactured custom knives known. Beginning in 1924 when John Nelson Cooper, as a hobby, began making knives for the local townspeople of Tremont, Pennsylvania. Since that first knife, the Cooper Knife has evolved into a totally new patented process of manufacturing the sporting blade.The first knives were for the working farmer and housewives but as the popularity of a good serviceable knife grew so did his designs. Soon He was making a complete line of knives for hunters, police, military, fisherman, campers and the all around sportsman. Primarily using conventional methods of attaching the handle, it was noted that the acids and dirt would be built up around the tang and hilt area causing the knife to loosen and literally fall apart. Studying the problem, He developed a totally new method of assembling the knife into a solid, bonded unit. This involved welding, brazing and epoxy that left no joint open or that could be opened, in a lifetime or more of use. The process was so unique that it was granted two United States patents #3,481,038 and #3,595,104.
Pro-Pack I

for immortality and its attendant disregards.
Tomorrow's not what I'm looking forward to, or the next day.
Charles Wright, our new Poet Laureate, shared this poem during a PBS interview I saw recently. While seeming a gentle man, Mr. Wright appeared more ordinary than I expected, bookish and bright, but more the next door neighbor you'd like to talk to than a celebrity, or poet of reknown. His thoughts felt like they could have grown in my own head and not felt like weeds.
It's been a while since I have written here. I think I am somewhat a creature of habit. For quite a while writing this blog was my way of being, but when I stopped during my husband's recovery, I fell out of the pattern. Charles Wright's sharing of his perspective on life and poetry jolted me back to thinking about things and wanting to share them.
I'm not sure when I felt in love with English, with poetry and prose. I know reading became a way to understand the big things in life and the small. Discussing the meanings behind works like Tennyson's poem, In Memorium, or Faulkner's novel, Light in August, as well as a lot of other literature in English classes in college, changed my thinking, shaped my choices, made me more me, as they helped clarify what I believed and why I believed it.
There are passages and quotes that stopped me in my tracks when, like one of Emerson's sleepers on the train, I was headed in a thoughtless direction. J.R.R. Tolkien's quote, "Many who live deserve death, and some who die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in judgement, fearing for your safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends." was one such quote. It made me completely rethink my view on capital punishment. Other passages in other works simply made me think.
Wright's poem and especially the line, "empty and full have the same glass but neither show you the way," created another one of those philosophical pauses for me to think about life.
But Wright says his "…home isn't here," yet equally doubts "it's there." Ah, so the poet wants me to think, to question. So… is the poet caught in the middle between here and there, a child of earth who has had glimpses of eternity? Or like many of us, does he just believe in the now, love life, and just not want to leave it? Or is he wanting to be with God, but not wanting to leave family and friends? Perhaps he is caught somewhere between "full of life" and "not yet quite empty of living?" Knowing that more of his time on earth lies behind, but not sure what waits ahead, unclear which way to go? Wright's answer to these question is implied; it is a simple but good one: Don't live for tomorrow whatever it may bring, but live in the now, fully. Yet, also implied is that to fully live one must be touch with the eternal.
For me, I believe it matters less about half-empty or half-full than what you do to fill your glass. I think, for much of our life, we pour ourselves out into the lives of others, (our friends, our children,) and even into our work. Often, we fill up with joy by doing that, but at other times it feels we are running near empty.
Perhaps to reenergize, you need to listen to a concert, play with a child, pray or meditate, write or read, exercise or sleep. Whatever it is, fill your cup anew so that you can pour yourself out and refill your cup, only to pour and fill again and again. I toast the gift you give in doing that.
Poetry: What Does It Accomplish?
This entry was posted in Writings by Wordsmiths and Others and tagged Alfred Lord Tennyson, Charles Wright, Glass, God, Intimations of Immortality, Is the glass half empty or half full?, J. R. R. Tolkien, Leaves of Grass, meanings in poetry, poet, Poet Laureate, Poetry, Tennyson, Walt Whitman, William Wordsworth, Wright. Bookmark the permalink.
Negative and positive signs cancel each other out. Leaving us nowhere or everywhere? At the very least suspending judgement as to half full or half empty maybe help one find that eternal place of the now. Beautifully written blog, Joanne.
A very thoughtful post, Jo, and I really liked your approach to the old conundrum through literature. Your love of English shines through and your knowledge puts me to shame: I spent three years studying English literature at uni and there are some new ones on me here!
I like the image of filling yourself up with gifts of being alive and then constantly emptying yourself out with the engagement of life.

Lib Dems launch biggest ever Consultation on Health in Northampton
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Northampton North, Cllr Andrew Simpson, is stepping up the Lib Dem campaign against cuts in the local health service by distributing a Health Survey to more than 65,000 local residents.
Health service cuts really hit Northamptonshire last year and the new Primary Care Trust was still facing a deficit of £8 million at the start of this financial year.
Previous deficits saw significant cuts to mental health and learning disability services and the suspension of IVF and nicotine replacement treatments. Recruitment was also put on hold while attempts were made to balance the books.
"Under the Labour Government we have seen a 'boom and bust' situation where constant re-organisation has caused massive deficits which affected services. Now I want to give local people a chance to have their say on local health services in what I believe will be the biggest consultation on health that has ever been organised in Northampton," said Andrew Simpson.
Once the results have been compiled Andrew will be reporting back on the findings to local residents as well as raising issues highlighted with local NHS managers.
"The Liberal Democrats want to see good quality local health services here in Northampton and across the country," said Andrew Simpson. We believe in giving local people a real say over their health services and this is one way we can put that belief into practice.
