Home Resources Lodging El Rancho Hotel | Gallup
El Rancho Hotel | Gallup
R.E. "Griff" Griffith built the El Rancho Hotel on Route 66 in Gallup. He was the brother of legendary movie director D.W. Griffith. In addition to a convenient location on the "Mother Road", the hotel is on Trail of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways.
El Rancho Hotel
R.E. Griff arrived in Gallup in the early 1930s. He fell in love with stark landscapes, the mesas and endless vistas. He returned a few years later to build the hotel. When it opened in 1936, it immediately became a base for movie productions. Both Griff and his brother encouraged movie makers to use El Rancho as a base for film crews and movie stars while on location. It wasn't a hard sell. The rustic elegance of the hotel and the striking western landscapes were appealing. Furthermore, the El Rancho boasted superior service and accommodations, with staff trained by the famous Fred Harvey Company hotel and restaurant chain.
Hollywood History
During the 1930s and 1940s over 100 westerns were filmed around Gallup, with everyone notable staying at the El Rancho. The guest log includes a lengthy list of iconic stars from, like Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Katherine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Errol Flynn, Mae West, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, and Humphrey Bogart (among others). Overall, more than 150 movie stars from the golden era of Hollywood stayed stayed at El Rancho. As a result, the rooms are named based on the most well known star to have stayed in that room. Complete list of the Stars that stayed at the El Rancho Hotel.
Though El Rancho was linked to Hollywood and the movie industry until the mid-1960s, the appeal of westerns waned by 1964 and the hotel gradually fell into disrepair. However, a well-known Indian trader in the area, Armand Ortega, bought the hotel. He invested the time and money needed to restore the property to its former glory. His work paid off. The hotel was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is, once again, a popular stop for Route 66 travelers.
The El Rancho is the embodiment of the Western Ranch House from the classic westerns. At one point, it was the vibe was distinctly "Wild West", with patrons enjoying raucous piano playing, gambling, brawling, and drinking. Erroll Flynn was known for riding his horse into the bar when he wanted a drink. Though guests are more law abiding these days, the spirit of the west can be felt when you walk in the doors.
The main entry leads into a square lobby with a crisscross balustrade balcony running around the perimeter of the second-story. The ambiance is distinctly western, part movie set, part hunting lodge. They furnished the lobby with heavy, carved, dark wood furniture. There are Navajo rugs hanging from the balcony, deer head trophies hanging from the walls, and stamped tin lights. At the back of the lobby, there is a walk-in fireplace cove made of brick and random stonework. On each side of the massive fireplace, wooden stairways, made of split logs, wind their way up to the balcony. The balcony encircles the first floor. The walls are packed with history and movie memorabilia from the movie stars and films associated with the property.
This is one of those places where you meet people (if you want). For example, it isn't unusual for staff to answer questions and chat with guests around the fire in the evening.
Guest Testimonial
Charming Historical Hotel | "The El Rancho opened in 1937 after being specifically built to provide high-quality accommodation for the Hollywood stars who filmed many movies in the area. The lobby is a museum in its own right, filled with photos of the stars, western decor, Native arts, and crafts. The latter can also be found for sale in an onsite high-end gift shop. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there for the ambiance, very friendly staff, good bar, and excellent meals from the restaurant. Anyone who is looking to follow historic 'Route 66' or has an interest in Hollywood Westerns should seriously consider making the El Rancho a stop on their tour of the west."

I was at a friend's house in Chapel Hill, one warm day in 1975, listening to WDBS, the Duke radio station where I worked at the time. As often happened with 'DBS, a great tune came on: "Bottom Dollar," sung by Mike Auldridge, with Linda Ronstadt singing high harmony. What blew us away, though, was not Mike's honey baritone, but his dobro playing. It was beyond sublime. We learned the song came from the album "Blues and Bluegrass," and promptly drove into town to buy it.
Later I gave the album to Ray Simone, to help him prep for doing Mike's Eight String Swing album cover. It disappeared after that, and many years went by before I replaced it when a double-CD of Mike's old albums came out. It wasn't easy to get then. I had to send off to somewhere in Europe, as I recall. Now its at that last link on Amazon. Cheap too, considering.
I actually became acquainted with Mike earlier, when he played with The Seldom Scene. But I had no idea he was so damn good solo until I heard that song, and that album.
A few minutes ago, when I was searching for something else, I ran across this tribute site, which was created just a couple months before he passed away, one day short of his 74th birthday, on December 29. This was bad news. We lost a treasure.
So was his music. Go listen.

Don't let Trump weaken Russia sanctions
Legislation approved by the Senate to impose new sanctions on Moscow would prohibit President Donald J. Trump from reopening a Russian diplomatic compound located in Maryland unless the administration won approval from Congress.
If there's one thing all our elected leaders from both parties ought to agree on, it's that Russia's role in cyberattacks on the 2016 election were a provocation that must be answered. In the Senate, that was very nearly true. An amendment to an Iran sanctions bill would add new sanctions against Russia in response to its election meddling and other destabilizing activities, including its involvement in the Syrian civil war and its continued incursions into Ukraine. The measure, which was largely the work of Maryland's Sen. Ben Cardin, passed 98-2.
Inside Obama's struggle to punish Russia for its election assault
By Greg Miller and Ellen Nakashima and Adam Entous
But President Donald Trump's administration opposed it, and now the White House is working to block or weaken it in the House. To go soft on a regime that, according to new reporting in the Washington Post, spent more than a year hacking into American elections systems under the explicit instructions of President Vladimir Putin to hurt one candidate and help elect another, is outrageous. For the administration to do so in the midst of an investigation into whether the Trump campaign played a role in the Russian effort is simply mind-blowing. The House needs to put partisanship aside and pass the Senate bill.
Russian sanctions bill would restrict Trump's ability to reopen diplomatic compound on the Eastern Shore
By John Fritze and Ian Duncan
Jun 15, 2017 | 6:37 PM
The legislation codifies a number of existing sanctions that were adopted by executive order and creates new ones on "corrupt Russian actors; those seeking to evade sanctions; those involved in serious human rights abuses; those supplying weapons to the Assad regime; those conducting malicious cyber activity on behalf of the Russian government; those involved in corrupt privatization of state-owned assets; and those doing business with the Russian intelligence and defense sectors," according to a news release from Mr. Cardin's office.
But perhaps most to the point, it blocks President Trump from lifting any of the sanctions without congressional review — including blocking him from returning to Russia a compound on the Eastern Shore that the Obama administration seized after learning it had been used for spying.
During the debate in the Senate, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson opposed the measure, claiming it would rob the administration of "the flexibility to turn the heat up" if necessary. It does nothing of the kind. What's really going on, according to a report in the New York Times, is that the administration wants the ability to hold out easier sanctions as a bargaining chip in talks with Moscow. Administration officials had previously lobbied Congress not to impose any new sanctions at all for fear of interrupting efforts to improve relations with Russia.

Fundamentally, it would be awkward for the Trump administration to support additional sanctions on Russia given the president's steadfast assertion that not only did his campaign not have anything to do with the cyberattacks but that the whole matter was made up by Democrats. Mr. Trump hammered that theme again in a series of tweets on Thursday, calling the hacks "a big Dem HOAX!" and "a big Dem scam and excuse for losing the election!"
...Why did Democratic National Committee turn down the DHS offer to protect against hacks (long prior to election). It's all a big Dem HOAX!
...Why did the DNC REFUSE to turn over its Server to the FBI, and still hasn't? It's all a big Dem scam and excuse for losing the election!
The first hiccup for the sanctions bill in the House came in the form of a procedural issue related to the constitutional requirement that revenue-raising bills originate there and not in the Senate. Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, viewed that objection "cover for a president who has been far too soft on Russia." But the issue appears to be on the way to being worked out. The question of the substance of the legislation, however, remains entirely uncertain. House Speaker Paul Ryan voiced support for the measure, but it's headed now to committee hearings, and there are myriad ways for the Trump administration and the House to monkey with the legislation in ways that would imperil it.
Perhaps the most devious would be to ratchet up the Iran sanctions in the bill. They were carefully calibrated to respond specifically Iran's ballistic missile program and other bad acts without imperiling the U.S. nuclear deal with that country. Upset that balance, and the bill could lose Democratic support in the Senate despite a near universal desire to see a tough response to Russia.
The House should move quickly and get this bill to President Trump's desk. The administration has not said whether he would veto it or let it become law. Surely no sane president in his position would veto this bill, but with Mr. Trump, you never know. That's why it's crucial for the House to display the same kind of bi-partisan resolve that the Senate did.

Everyone is interested in saving money when they can! When it comes to your plumbing, there are a few small things you can do to keep everything running smoothly, which will definitely lead to savings. For example, leaking water is still water you pay for. Addressing leaks can save you more money than you think! Below, we've included a couple of other ways you can save money by taking care of your plumbing!
There are several ways your toilet can waste water without you realizing it. If you hear phantom flushing, which is where your toilet seems to refill of its own accord, that is a clear indicator you have a leak somewhere down the line. You can use food coloring in the tank to see if your toilet is leaking in other ways. After putting color in the tank, wait a few minutes to half an hour. If you see water in the bowl, you know there is a leak! Afterwards, make sure to flush so that your tank isn't stained by the coloring.
Cleaning your garbage disposal can save your from premature garbage disposal repairs, as well as save you the hassle of a garbage disposal clog. If items from your garbage disposal are not properly ground, they can clog your pipes and lead to detrimental back ups. Keep in mind that grease, eggshells, and vegetable or fruit peels should never go down your drain. That includes lemon peels! You can use a store bought drain cleaner to clean it, or baking soda and vinegar. Additionally, you can give our plumber a call for a more thorough system clean!
If you need help with any plumbing problems, big or small, contact KRK Enterprises today at 1-800-330-7686 for all of your plumbing needs!

Andras, u demonologiji, šezdeset i treći duh ili demon Goecije, veliki markiz i vladar trideset legija duhova. Ima lik anđela s glavom gavrana ili sove. Nosi mač i jaše na vuku. Savjetnik je ubojicama o načinima ubojstava. Veoma je opasan demon, pa prizivatelj mora biti jako oprezan, jer se može okrenuti protiv njega i pogubiti i prizivatelja i sve koji su mu bliski. Potiče na sukobe i svađe.

This idea was floating around in my mind recently. I like zombies, so a duel deck would be nice. And merfolk can be pretty powerful, since many have unblockable or islandwalk.
I'm just wanting the top card (on display) for the deck. If you feel like adding anything else, that's fine.
There's not really a reward, I guess you just get to brag.
Can you enter a planeswalker that makes zombie tokens as well?
Well, it's my first real contest, so yeah.
The only color limitation is zombies must have black and merfolk must have blue, but they can be multicolored.
I'm making an entire set based around zombies and necromancy. Can I use one of those cards in this contest?
Here are my entrees to this contest! I hope they are alright.

"Poor Susan" is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth composed at Alfoxden in 1797. It was first published in the collection Lyrical Ballads in 1798. It is written in anapestic tetrameter.

The poem records the memories awakening in a country girl in London on hearing a thrush sing in the early morning.

Text

At the corner of Wood-Street, when day-light appears,
There's a Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years.
Poor Susan has pass'd by the spot and has heard
In the silence of morning the song of the bird.

'Tis a note of enchantment; what ails her? She sees
A mountain ascending, a vision of trees;
Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide,
And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside.

Green pastures she views in the midst of the dale,
Down which she so often has tripp'd with her pail,
And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove's,
The only one dwelling on earth that she loves.

She looks, and her heart is in Heaven, but they fade,
The mist and the river, the hill and the shade;
The stream will not flow, and the hill will not rise,
And the colours have all pass'd away from her eyes.

Poor Outcast! return—to receive thee once more
The house of thy Father will open its door,
And thou once again, in thy plain russet gown,
Mayst hear the thrush sing from a tree of its own.

History
In Wordsworth's Preface to the Lyrical Ballads, the poet states:

Charles Lamb objected to the final stanza:  According to Ernest de Sélincourt, Wordsworth responded by deleting the stanza in the 1815 edition of his poems and renaming the poem The Reverie of Poor Susan, a title which may have been influenced by his reading Bürger's Des Arme Suschens Traum at Goslar. In addition he replaced the word There's at the beginning of the second line by Hangs and added an introductory note:

However, Peter J. Manning pointed out that:

No matter what touch-up paint you choose, make sure it is good quality. Because even if you do everything right, a cheap low quality paint will not give you the professional result you are looking for. When I am buying paint, I want it to be high quality, but still affordable. One of the places I like is AutomotiveTouchUp site. They have best prices and a high quality paint that is custom mixed to perfectly match the original car color.
Touch-up paint pens are widely used in the auto body repair industry. One of the reasons they became so popular is because they are very inexpensive and never dry out. Another reason is nothing works better on small scratches and chips which require more precise application.
For the damages that can't be fixed with a pen or a bottle paint, spray cans are the best. One of the reasons I like spray cans is because they can be used to fix even a small scratch. All you need to do is to spray some paint into a cup and use an art brush to apply the paint. Another great thing about spray cans is that they never dry out. You should keep it at home in a cool place so it doesn't overheat. I wouldn't keep it in the car, since during winter it might freeze up and during summer it can get too hot.

Yeah, it's real. And yeah, it's good.
For some reason, there hasn't been a lot of discussion of the fact that there's a "Percy Jackson" musical. Yes, that Percy Jackson. Of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," the bestselling series about preteens who discover that they're the children of the Greek gods. The series that spawned a bunch of lesser knockoffs and a ton of quizzes to determine which is your godly parent. That series. The first book has been made into a musical, and the soundtrack has just been released. To those of you who loved "Percy Jackson" as a child but are leery of the idea of your childhood favorites being updated to include snappy dance numbers and a great vocal line, this article is for you. This is why you should drop whatever angsty emo-core music you're listening to and listen to the "Percy Jackson" musical soundtrack – excuse me, the "Lightning Thief" musical – right the heck now.
Songwriter Rob Rokicki managed to include Percy and his mother's love of blue food in a touching, inspiring, and not ridiculously out-of-place way. In the song "Strong," Sally Jackson uses the blue food as a metaphor to express to her son that it's OK to be different, and that "the very things that make us different make us strong." This song also acknowledges Percy's struggles with ADHD and dyslexia without sensationalizing them or treating them like the worst things that could possibly happen to a kid. Instead, they're treated like parts of everyday life, things that are difficult but not crippling. This matter-of-fact, straightforward acceptance of mental illness is refreshing. For fans of the book, there's the strong characterization of Sally Jackson to appreciate, and those who haven't read the original novel will enjoy the tender and humorous portrayal of the relationship between a single mother and her son.
Remember Dionysus from the book? Or know him vaguely as the Greek god of wine and parties? He gets a song to himself, about how much he hates the kids at the half-blood summer camp he supervises – and he sings it directly to the kids themselves. It serves as a good introduction to the world of the novel and the play, and it's also a nice jolt of humor after an emotionally taxing scene which I will not mention because spoilers. If you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about. If not – life is full of surprises.
The score includes the diverse and varied sounds of the United States, from gospel to rock and roll to your good old-fashioned musical theatre standards. What they have in common is a driving, upbeat rhythm, and a full orchestration that features the ensemble in almost every song. If you've ever been part of a high school musical cast, you know what it feels like to wait backstage for your two lines in one song – but this soundtrack gives the ensemble multiple chances to shine. The book and lyrics are both clever, and pay homage to Rick Riordan's quippy writing style and the humor of a book series narrated by the most jaded and sassiest of preteens. Did you hate the way the ill-advised film adaptation aged everyone up? Fear not – the kids here are very certainly kids.
Songs you shouldn't miss: "The Day I Got Expelled/Prologue," "Good Kid," "My Grand Plan," "Drive," and "Another Terrible Day" (the aforementioned Dionysus song). Is that the entire first act? Silly me. It's just that good.
"The Lightning Thief" stays true to the book, but brings something refreshing to the story without torturing the plot to death the way the feature films did. Go listen to "The Lightning Thief." The Oracle said to.

June 28, 2016 – Sierra Nevada Corpration (SNC) and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together to provide affordable opportunities for United Nations Member States to conduct experiments in space.
Under the agreement, UNOOSA and SNC will work with United Nations Member States to define a multi-country mission opportunity that will provide Member States, and especially non-space-faring ones, affordable access to space to develop and fly payloads for missions related to experiments in microgravity science, remote sensing, or space hardware qualification.
"SNC is honored to partner with UNOOSA under our Dream Chaser Global Initiative to offer access to space to a wide range of countries, from those with well-defined space programmes and objectives to developing countries who would like the social and economic benefits of a space programme without the time and financial burden of developing the necessary infrastructure," said Mark N. Sirangelo, SNC corporate vice president for Space Systems. "Our vision, in partnership with the UN, is to provide UN Member States with affordable access to space and a range of multi-mission opportunities using the Dream Chaser spacecraft to host a wide range of payloads."
SNC's Dream Chaser is a reusable, orbital spacecraft designed to be a flexible Space Utility Vehicle (SUV) and transportation system for a variety of low-Earth orbit (LEO) missions.
"Countries will be able to customize their participation level commensurate with the maturity of their space capabilities and national desires, while engaging their universities, industrial companies and government laboratories, and most importantly, their people. We offer a complete solution for participations, providing not only the spacecraft, but all aspects of flight including mission planning and operations," Sirangelo said.
One of the main goals of UNOOSA is to promote economic and social development through space activities.
"At UNOOSA we are committed to helping all countries benefit from space technologies and capabilities. I am pleased that SNC has partnered with us to provide such tangible opportunities in pursuit of this goal," said Simonetta Di Pippo, Director of UNOOSA.
UNOOSA is in a unique position to help connect SNC with UN Member States to enable a multi-country mission opportunity while highlighting the peaceful use and access to space for all nations. The MOU provides the framework for cooperation and understanding, and to facilitate collaboration between the Parties to further their shared goal of providing more countries the opportunity to realize the economic and educational benefits of participating in the space economy.
"The space arena is growing increasingly diverse as private industry actors become more involved in space technologies and exploration. It's great to see a company like SNC bring their expertise to UNOOSA's holistic approach to capacity building and our goal of bringing the benefits of space to all," said Di Pippo.
Recently selected to provide cargo delivery, return and disposal services for the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) contract, SNC's Dream Chaser spacecraft is the only reusable, lifting-body, multi-mission-capable SUV with a commercial runway landing capability – anywhere in the world.
SNC is currently completing its test vehicle, which will be shipped to California in August for flight testing. The company hopes to begin launching resupply missions to the ISS in 2019.
The Dream Chaser is a safe, affordable, flexible and reliable system capable of crewed and uncrewed transportation services to LEO destinations such as the International Space Station. The spacecraft is built in Louisville, Colorado.

Helen Verran is an Australian historian and empirical philosopher of science, primarily working in the Social Studies of Science and Technology (STS), and currently Adjunct Professor at Charles Darwin University.

Background
Verran is from New South Wales, Australia. She trained as a scientist and teacher in the 1960s (BSc, DipEd, University of New England) and has a PhD in metabolic biochemistry (UNE, 1972). She then spent eight years lecturing in science education at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ifẹ, southwestern Nigeria. In the 1980s she became a lecturer and later Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, working in a unit dedicated to the study of history and philosophy of science. She retired in 2012. On retiring she became Adjunct Professor at the Northern Institute, Charles Darwin University in Darwin, where she still teaches.

Scholarship

Numbers and Enumerated Entities
Verran's book, Science and an African Logic (University of Chicago Press, 2001), received the Ludwik Fleck Prize in 2003. It analyses counting, and its relation to the ontology of numbers based on her lengthy field observations as a mathematics lecturer and teacher in Nigeria. The book draws on her sudden realisation of the radically different nature of Yoruba counting, and discusses how this realisation grounded her post-relativist theorising. Verran continues to nuance analytics of numbers and numbering as social and material practice (e.g. in the 2018 special issue After Numbers? Innovations in Science and Technology Studies' Analytics of Numbers and Numbering).

Actor-network theory (ANT)
She contributed to actor-network theory, working with British sociologist John Law. Specifically, she is credited for contributing with postcolonial studies to nuancing STS. Her work is also seen as part of ANT's ontological turn.

Post-colonial STS
Her work on Yolngu Aboriginal Australians understandings of the world, their use of technology, and their knowledge systems ranges from the 1990s to current engagement. Together with Michael Christie she has theorised digital knowledge technologies.

Starting with work on alternative modes of knowing nature management through fire, Verran's recent work contributed to social studies of ecosystem services.

Coronavirus and COVID-19
During the Pandemic, Protecting My Family Meant Living Apart From My Husband
When the quarantine hit New York City, I quickly realized that my sons and I would be safer staying with family in the suburbs, rather than at home with my physician husband.
By Julia Edelstien

When the coronavirus first arrived in New York City, life changed just a little bit each day—an extra mask or two glimpsed on the subway, one child absent from kindergarten. And then all at once, the day-to-day existence of my family was unrecognizable.
I was the editor-in-chief of Parents magazine and our office closed. My two boys saw their schools close as well. I went from commuting two hours a day, sitting in crowded meetings, and grabbing lunch in the office cafeteria to barely leaving our apartment, fearful of what lay in store not just in the supermarkets and bustling parks, but in the hallways and elevators of our 40-story apartment building.
Like many working parents, I cared for my children—Joey, 5, and Gabriel, 3—all day, then logged onto my computer to edit Parents magazine and manage my team late into the night. Through all of this, their father (my husband) woke up, got dressed, and went to work at one of New York City's largest hospitals. He is a psychiatrist who treats medically ill patients who have mental health complications, and his daily rounds take him to many different floors. By mid-March 2020, anxiety in his hospital was high as a face mask shortage loomed.
In the evenings, my family cuddled on the couch and held each other close, grateful for connection in a surreal time. But soon we had to face the facts: This kind of close contact was not safe. If we continued to live in the same tight quarters, my husband would inevitably put our whole family at risk. We began to worry about how we would care for our small children if one or both of us developed COVID-19. I have inflammatory bowel disease, and when I catch a virus, I'm often hit hard. For instance, recently, I developed an upper respiratory infection that turned into a serious case of pneumonia and landed me in the hospital.
Positive Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children
My father called daily asking me and the kids to join him in the suburbs, where he still lives in the big house where I grew up. He's in his 70s, and my only living parent—and the fragility of his health worried me to my core. But my husband was scheduled to work a shift in the emergency room the next night, where exposure to the virus was even more likely. Once he brought those germs home, my family's invitation to Grandpa's house—where my sister and her family were also staying during the crisis—would be revoked.
We must have gone back and forth on what to do 30 times in the hour before I tearfully packed our bags. I knew the boys would feel better with a backyard and that my stress level would improve in a true quarantine. But our kids had never gone more than a few days without their dad, and I feared for my own father's health. There were no good options, and so we chose what we considered to be the lesser evil. Sharing the plan with the boys was hard. They were excited to leave the city, but they didn't quite understand why Daddy couldn't come too.
The truth is, I didn't know what the next few months would bring. What I did know for certain is that when the world started moving again, I would reenter it as a different person with different priorities.
During our time apart, we were fortunate to all remain healthy. The boys missed their dad a lot, of course. I saw it manifest in different ways. My older son seemed to be growing up before my eyes. He displayed self-initiative in ways he never did before because I was stretched thin and couldn't be in five places at once. My little one sometimes walked around the house looking for his dad and asking where he was. He often woke up flustered in the middle of the night and was emotional when he "Zoomed" with his nursery school. But generally, they were happy kids, running in the backyard and dancing and singing in the kitchen. Both boys came to me for hugs and cuddles all day long, and I was happy to be their human pillow, even if I lost all sense of personal space in the process.
Managing full-time parenting and full-time work was undoubtedly stressful, chaotic, and tiring, but I felt lucky to have a job that I loved, healthy kids, family to help me, and a place to stay outside of New York. Without question, the situation was infinitely harder for my husband, and for all of the health care workers who made similar decisions, risking their lives and missing their families.
After I left New York City, my husband's hospital became almost entirely dedicated to COVID-19 patients. His department trained for deployment into urgent care, emergency room, and critical care setting, and during the time we awaited his assignment, we were proud and eager for him to make a difference, but our anxiety ran high.
9 Ways to Cope With Anxiety as a Family During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Still, we tried to be positive. FaceTime was our lifeline: My husband joined us virtually for bedtime each night. He played virtual Uno with my son and even read him whole chapters of Harry Potter aloud. My biggest daily challenge was when my thoughts turned to the weeks and months ahead. In the midst of editing the June 2020 issue of Parents, I tried to envision a happy summer for families across the country—and a Father's Day where my own nuclear family could be together. But the truth is, I didn't know what the next few months would bring.
What I did know for certain is that when the world started moving again, I would reenter it as a different person with different priorities.
And now that it has, I know I have changed: I have slowed down and taken the time to truly appreciate the profound privilege of being with my family. I know that life will never be quite the same after this—and maybe that's not all bad. In many ways, the lessons of the pandemic have taught me that some days, the best I can do is to just be with my boys and my laptop, taking life hour by hour.
Editor's Note: As the pandemic has shifted and vaccinations have become more widely available, guidance for families with health care workers have shifted. For more information on when quarantining in a shared house is recommended, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.

Kolkata, Nov 7 () The state-owned power equipment major, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is aiming at doubling the non-power revenue by 2022 and the projects will be executed on a turnkey basis.
The areas like municipal water, Ganga mission, solar, aerospace, defense and metro and high speed rail projects have been identified as growth drivers. "Currently, our non-power business is 20 per cent and we are aiming at doubling it to 40 per cent by 2022," BHEL Director Amitabh Mathur told . "Unless, we take turnkey projects like we do in power, topline will not be high," he said.
State-run power equipment maker BHEL on Monday said it has commenced execution of Rs 20,400-crore Yadadri supercritical thermal power project ordered by the Telangana State Power Generation Corporation.
"The execution of the 4,000 MW Yadadri Supercritical Thermal Power Project ordered on Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) by Telangana State Power Generation Corporation Limited (TSGENCO) has commenced with the issuance of revised Letter of Intent by TSGENCO," BHEL said in a regulatory filing.
State-owned power equipment maker Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has paid a final equity dividend of 39 per cent for 2016-17.
With this, the total dividend paid during the year stands at 79 per cent, including an interim one of 40 per cent paid earlier, BHEL said in a statement on Wednesday.
Shares of three companies – Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Bharat Electronics (BEL) and Bharat Forge – will turn ex-bonus at their respective ratios on Thursday, September 28, 2017.
BEL has fixed Friday, the 29th September, 2017, while BHEL and Bharat Forge have fixed September 30, 2017 as the record date to determine the eligible shareholders to receive bonus shares.
New Delhi: State-owned power equipment maker Bhel has received shareholders' approval for the proposal to issue 1 new equity bonus share for every 2 existing shares.
Calcutta, Sept. 22: Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Bhel) is looking to diversify into areas such as solar power, transportation, defence, aerospace and water business.
"The company wants to increase its share of business in non-coal areas," said Bhel chairman and managing director Atul Sobti at the company's annual general meeting.
NEW DELHI: State-owned power equipment maker BHEL-2.52 % today said it will create a diversified portfolio for its next wave of growth that will include areas like solar energy, transportation and water business.
Going beyond thermal power, other areas for capitalising on emerging opportunities include defence and aerospace "to increase the share of business from non-coal areas", BHEL CMD Atul Sobti said at the 53rd Annual General Meeting here.
For Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), the joint venture with Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) may well turn out to be a relief considering the recent drop in order inflows for the company.
According to its annual report, BHEL got orders worth only Rs 23,489 crore in 2016-17, a 46 per cent drop from Rs 43,727 crore in 2015-16. The company's order book outstanding at the end of the last financial year stood at Rs 1,05,200 crore, down from Rs 1,10,730 crore in the year-ago period. Even new orders for the first quarter of the current financial year dropped 41 per cent to Rs 1,800 crore.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has moved higher by 10% to Rs 146 on the back of heavy volumes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on Thursday laid foundation stone for India's first bullet train between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
Till 11:00 AM; a combined 23.1 million equity shares changed hands against an average 3.2 million shares were traded daily in past two weeks on BSE and NSE.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Bhel) is changing its business model to focus on solar power generation, create equipment to help thermal plants drastically reduce emissions and get a larger share of transportation business like metro coaches.
This follows the recent rap by the Comptroller and Auditor General for not doing enough to diversify and grow aggressively.

It's seems like Korea seems to echo Japan in many regards. Japan has had a problem with 'hikikimori' (Japanese people, particularly youngsters, who lock themselves in their rooms for months, years or decades as they can't handle the pressures of society) for years. It's no surprise that the Korean youth are starting to follow suit.
My big concern is, are Korea's youth really unable to find jobs? I'm constantly hearing how the youth have are having a massively tough time finding work. One of the lowest birth rates in the world, a manufacturing hub, yet people still can't find work? I'm leaning more to the belief that it's not the case that the youth can't find jobs, they just aren't satisfied with what's available.
Years spent memorizing words and formulas in a hagwon, writing tests and going to university. I think these kids and parents are expecting CEO positions to suddenly open up. Reality kicks in and instead of saying her precious Minsu is packing boxes in a storage room, it's easier to say that he's "studying", while he mopes around at home waiting for that CEO position to open up.
I dunno, am I missing something?
are Korea's youth really unable to find jobs? I'm constantly hearing how the youth have are having a massively tough time finding work. One of the lowest birth rates in the world, a manufacturing hub, yet people still can't find work?
Its even less credible when you consider that jobs are automatically given to young people while those over 40 are thrown on the scrapheap. Everywhere you look in this country, from hospitals to shops..is staffed by people aged 20-35. Anyone over that is out collecting cardboard. It is a horrendous picture of discrimination but korea can't seem to help itself.
Agreed. If you are young in korea ..jobs abound.
I'm leaning more to the belief that it's not the case that the youth can't find jobs, they just aren't satisfied with what's available.
It could be that the young grow up too pampered and idealistic. They all expect to be lawyers and doctors instead of just getting stuck in to whats available.
Or those high stressed Chaebol jobs really aged them.
I tend to use a lot of hyperbole.
I find that when I pursue unseemly escapades online, there are a lot of women 25 - 35 here that just quit the jobs they have, travel for a year, and then complain that they are bored and can't find a new job. I find it repulsive that they spend some of the most critical years of their career sitting at their folks' homes as a "jip-soo-nee" and blaming it on "this awful society." Many of them say they want or plan to live in Western countries because those countries are so good to all their people and have so many jobs available. The grass is certainly greener on the other side. I have called out a few of them on it, and they get teenager-style defensive. That's when they get to the "You are just lucky you are foreigner so you can easy to have a job here." Um no, I have over 10 years experience in my field and hold a Master's, Doctorate, and certificates that I worked and paid for, that I earned WHILE WORKING.
Anyway, I don't mind losing those escapades, because who wants some clingy deadbeat that will later blame you for arranging a loveless hookup, even though that's pretty much all THEY wanted but need the plausible deniability.
Korea's youth unemployment is on the rise. However, if anyone had bothered to investigate, they'd know that this is a global problem.
Korea is actually in the mid-low end of the spectrum in the 10% range. It's closer to countries like the U.S., Canada, Netherlands, China, Norway, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Denmark, with Poland at the higher end at around 15%. On the other end are Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Belgium, Finland, and Portugal with rates higher than 20% and in some cases approaching 40%.
The lowest in the developed world? Singapore, Japan and Germany.
Do call centres usually hire young people in Korea? That's the usual go-to job for graduates in England who are struggling to find something and need money.
Many of them say they want or plan to live in Western countries because those countries are so good to all their people and have so many jobs available.
I wonder if they also realize what kind of jobs will be available to them without a western degree?
Sure, there are jobs, but with a degree from Chung-blah-blah College, you're pretty much limited to low-end service sector cashier, or sales jobs.
Maybe part of the problem is numbers. Why use 15-29 as the age bracket? Most 15-18 year olds are in school. Am I missing something? Seems a more appropriate age would be 18-29. There can't be that many jobs available for underage children anyway.
yeah, students don't count in unemployment statistics. it's only people who don't have a job and are actively searching for work (by most definitions).
Most young well educated Koreans will never have a part time job while they were studying and when they finished studying will only apply for the best job available to them and if they don't get it will continue to add shite onto their CV to get the job next year when the application process opens up again instead of looking for a lower level job or any other job. This is because once they land the Samsung/LG job they are set for life.
Korea is not the UK. Your average Korean graduate pines for that job in one of the big Chaebol companies and will spend a long time applying for such positions. After trying for a while, they give up and try to expand their resume by picking up new skills (Uber Microsoft user) or try to improve their TOEIC score and then apply again when the process opens.

Plan for Another Postal Increase, Cautions Expert
By Matt Steinmetz
With publishers and mailers everywhere keeping a cautious eye on the United States Postal Service (USPS) on issues ranging from rate increases to the elimination of Saturday delivery, Publishing Executive Inbox sought out the insights of postal expert Jack Widener. Widener retired a little over a year ago from Newsweek as director of finishing and distribution after a 29-year run with the company. Today, he owns and operates Publishing Postal Consultants LLC, a Manalapan, N.J.-based transportation and postal consulting business serving publications.
Widener says that although it's impossible to predict a rate increase for periodicals next year, publishers would be smart to plan for one.
INBOX: Do you expect publishers will be faced with a postal rate increase next year?
JACK WIDENER: Yes, no, possibly.
This question is impossible to answer at this point for a number of reasons. The normal process is for the amount of the postal rate increase to be determined based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with the amount [of increase] not being higher than the CPI by class of mail. The way the CPI is [currently] trending, it might even be a negative number, which would mean no increase.
But … the USPS has another means to raise rates in emergency situations which is called exigent pricing. A natural disaster causing a dramatic increase in cost would be one example. Does the present financial condition of the USPS, which is mainly due to loss of volume, qualify? Some in the Postal Service think it does, but Postmaster General John Potter has been very clear that he does not want to do that. But if [the USPS does] not get relief from Congress for retiree healthcare, support for reducing expenses, or an expanded opportunity to borrow money, then they might have to do that. They can file an exigency case at any time, so the new rates could be implemented before May of 2010, which is when normal increases are implemented. If they took this action I would think they would try to implement the rate increase around the normal May timeframe, so as not to disrupt an already delicate mailing industry.
The bottom line: Put some money in the budget for it. In my opinion, there are just too many challenges at this point not to take precautionary measures.
INBOX: With all of the uncertainty surrounding the future of postal rates, how would you advise publishers remain active rather than reactive in their projecting and budgeting as they relate to postal costs?
WIDENER: To be safe, I would recommend being active and, as I said earlier, plan on an increase for next year. The $1 million question is "How much?" to which no one knows the answer. Your crystal ball is as good as anyone else's. [Planning for] a 4-percent increase might be a good middle-of-the-road approach.
INBOX: How likely is it that the USPS will nix Saturday delivery, and how should publishers expect this to affect their businesses?
WIDENER: Saturday delivery is one of the cost-cutting measures they have made a commitment to implementing due to the savings. And if the savings are accurate, which must be validated, we must give them a fair hearing on it. If this does occur, the earliest [it would happen] would be late in the fall of 2010, and probably not until 2011.
The biggest concern to publishers would be to time-sensitive publications that want their copies delivered on Saturday. How will their customers react to not getting their copies until Monday, or, if Monday is a holiday, until Tuesday? To change an edit close and/or production schedule to deliver on another day is not the easiest thing for a publication to do.
Though the Postal Service may prefer to eliminate Saturday delivery, it has to be approved by Congress. There will be strong opposition from certain parties which include the public, postal unions, some mailing customers and possibly Congress.
INBOX: What's the latest with Intelligent Mail Barcodes, and are publishers using them effectively yet?
WIDENER: Publishers are not using them effectively at this point. The main benefit with the May 18 implementation for publishers was to obtain free Address Correction Service (ACS) changes by being a full-service participant. Three months after the program went live, no publishers are utilizing this service. There are several who are close and may begin using it in the next week or so.
This has been a work in progress since the program went live on May 18. The bottom line is that the program for ACS was not ready at that time. The mailing industry and the Postal Service have been working very hard to make it a reality. But it's been like trying to do an engine tune-up on your car while cruising down interstate 95 at 70 MPH—it's made the job more difficult.

Meals like Corned Beef Hash have a reputation of being an easy and cheap meal, but that does not mean that it has to be boring or tasteless.
I've made a fair few different variations in my time and recently I have been playing around with recipes that combine flavour with utter simplicity.
There have been times where I have fried, added, removed etc, but now, finally I have come up with an all to simple procedure that just works.
Before I start, I turn on the oven, pre-heating it at 180 degrees.
Then I take 4 mid-sized potatoes and slice them length ways 1/2 inch thick, and then cut them into rough cubes – no bigger than in inch, I throw these into a bowl.
I then finely slice 1 small onion and half a medium red chilli plus 2 cloves of Garlic (I puree it but minced is fine) and add that all to the potatoes in the bowl.
Finally I slice three slices of streaky bacon, again just throwing this into the bowl.
adding a tablespoon of Rapeseed Oil, I use my hands to mix all the ingredients in a bowl whilst pre-heating a heavy, oven proof frying pan on the stove.
When the pan is hot, add the entire mixture and fry off for a few minutes.
After the 20 mins, remove and add a tin of corned beef, cut into rough cubes and placed on the top.
Replace in the oven for another 15 mins again stir it through halfway through.
Now remove the dish and make 4 wells – I use a small plastic pudding dish which is perfect size, but a spoon will do. You just want to make an indentation in the mixture which an egg will sit in.
push small cubes of cheese into the mixture in various places – this will melt and make little cheesy pockets, then crack the eggs into the wells that you have made.
Time for 8 mins and remove, the eggs should be perfectly set, with runny yolks.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, more finely sliced Chilli and Black Pepper and you have a beautiful, full of flavour hash, with very little work involved – oh and its cheap too!

New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. nest know as New Balance, is a footwear manufacturer based in Boston Massachusetts. Originally founded as New Balance Arch Support Company in 1906 by William J Riley was a manufacturer of arch supports and other accessories designed to improve the fit of shoes. His first product was a flexible arch support which was designed with a three point support in the shape of a triangle. These three points created a better balance making the shoe more comfortable. Riley came up with the triangle design and the name "New Balance" by watching chickens in his yard. He kept a chickens foot in his office to demonstrate the principle. Riley hired Arthur Hall as a salesman in 1927, and in 1934 Hall became a business partner. In 1956 Hall sold the business to his daughter Eleanor and her husband Paul Kidd. The couple continued to sell the arch supports until 1960, when they designed and manufactured the "Trackster," which was the world's first running shoe made with a ripple sole. It was also the first running shoe to be offered in different widths. Many college track team such as MIT, Tufts University and Boston University adopted the New Balance Trackster for their cross-country teams, a trend that was joined by other colleges around the country. New Balance is one of several shoe companies that make some of their products in the United States. Green America states in the New Balance Responsible Shopper company information page that around one quarter of New Balance shoes are made in the United States. New Balance owns five factories in the United States. Two are in Massachusetts, Boston and Lawrence, and three are in Maine, Norridgewock, Skowhegan and Norway. In 1994 New Balance manufactured 70% of its shoes in the United States.

Sensing that a shared hatred of Nazis is the one thing that could bring this divided nation together again, Pulp Fiction screenwriter Roger Avary is attached to write and direct a big-screen adaptation of Castle Wolfenstein. Based on the video-game series that began as simple adventure titles before giving way to the influential first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D, the film is grounded in territory familiar for Avary: Game adaptations (Avary helmed the first Silent Hill film) and playing second banana to Quentin Tarantino (the story, which concerns to two Allied agents storming the eponymous castle, is apparently more Inglorious Basterds than Stalag 17). No release date has been set, meaning Castle Wolfenstein's eventual visual-effects team will have plenty of time to perfect the design of its armor-plated Hitler.

Q: How to stop emission from PublishSubject when buffer is empty I'm trying to create a sequential download service using RxJava.
User can add items in batch (20, 30 etc) or individual item. These items will be added to queue and then, downloaded sequentially in batches of 10.
For that I am using PublishSubject:
PublishSubject<Int> pubSubject = PublishSubject.create();

which emits item (ids) added by user, and then apply buffer operator to batch items. Using these ids, items are downloaded in flatMap and return in onNext of subscription.
  pubSubject.buffer(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS, 10)
            .observeOn(Schedulers.io())
            .flatMap { idsBatch -> downloadByIds(idsBatch) }
            .subscribe(
                /* onNext */ { apiResponse -> handleResponse() },
                /* onError */ { handleError(it) },
                /* onComplete*/ { hideProgressBar() }
             )

Code is mostly working as expected. Items are batched and downloaded successfully but even after all items are emitted, buffer still calls flatMap with empty list and onComplete() is never called.
I want  to know if there is any method or way in RxJava to get onComplete callback when there are no more items in buffer. Because else my download service never terminates.

A: You could use the takeWhile operation:

Returns an Observable that emits items emitted by the source ObservableSource so long as each item satisfied a specified condition, and then completes as soon as this condition is not satisfied.

pubSubject.buffer(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS, 10)
          .observeOn(Schedulers.io())
          .takeWhile { idsBatch -> idsBatch.isNotEmpty() }
          .flatMap { idsBatch -> downloadByIds(idsBatch) }
          .subscribe(
              /* onNext */ { apiResponse -> handleResponse() },
              /* onError */ { handleError(it) },
              /* onComplete*/ { hideProgressBar() }
           )


On multiple occasions, Jobs in Ooyala Flex were completing, but were still showing as being in a "running" state. The lock on the Assets related to these Jobs were also not being released.
Resolution: If any synchronous Jobs that are launched by another Job go into a failed state, then both the Jobs will be marked as "failed". For example: when the Playout Publish Job fails (which is launched by the "Open Session" Job) then both Jobs (i.e. Playout Publish and Open Session) would be marked as "failed".
Event Handlers were able to add default Users to a production but couldn't be restarted once they had stopped. This has now been fixed.
Ooyala Flex was locking Assets and preventing Workflows from running.
Solution: If any synchronous Jobs that are launched by another Job go into a failed state, then both the Jobs will be marked as "failed". For example: when the Playout Publish Job fails (which is launched by the "Open Session" Job) then both Jobs (i.e. Playout Publish and Open Session) would be marked as "failed".
If Users tried to publish an Asset to S3 for Playout on 5.1.x, the Publish Player Action would not work because Playout didn't have the S3 credentials.
Solution: We now store s3 credential details in the Playout database. We have added two fields (Key and Secret) for the s3 resource credential store. We have also created a VFS Object inside this method CacheManagerUtil:writeCachePlayerRenderedCode that will manage the authentication process of the s3 resource.

This Estes Park and Stanley Hotel Wedding was a magnificent time. You never can be too sure about late-Fall weather at high altitude in Colorado, but boy did Courtney and Scott get lucky. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and despite the recent damaging floods in the area, (almost) all went off without a hitch in that respect. The ceremony was at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church in Estes Park. A stunning church, indeed. For the reception, we headed on over to the classic Stanley Hotel in the McGregor Room for some amazingly good times. Please enjoy these wedding photos and many thanks to my side-kick for the day, Megan Alvarez! And a huge congratulations to the wonderful couple, Courtney and Scott!

'Facilitating social farming helps combat rural isolation'
Caroline Allen
Mar 4, 2018, 9:00am
A national conference on social farming will take place in the Emmaus Centre, Swords, Co. Dublin, on March 23.
Those attending will have an opportunity to learn more about the development of social farming and its role in enabling participants to do 'ordinary things in ordinary places.'
They will also gain insights into the latest social farming practice from service providers, farmers, participants and researchers. "Social farming is about offering activity on ordinary working family farms as a form of social support," said Aisling Moroney, Social Farming Ireland policy worker.
The farm is not a specialised treatment farm but remains a typical working farm where people can build relationships and take part in day-to-day farm activities in a relaxed and non-clinical environment.
Participants from a range of services such as: intellectual disability; mental health services; services for the long-term unemployed; and youth work, can typically engage in farming activities on a farm one day per week for a period of eight to 12 weeks.
Aisling said that her research showed that those who got involved over the past year had all really enjoyed their placements and most experienced a wide range of benefits.
"The people who took part spoke to us of feeling much better in themselves, of feeling that they had an improved sense of purpose and a new confidence in their own abilities. All really enjoyed the friendships and fun they developed with the farmers and their families and with the other participants," said Aisling.
Some highlighted the benefits of being out in nature and in the fresh air, of getting their hands in the soil or working with animals.
Others spoke of having developed new practical skills or reconnecting with skills they thought they had forgotten, Aisling noted.
Social farming seems to have particular appeal to those who perhaps grew up on a farm and who yearn for that connection.
"For some men in particular, something like social farming has more appeal than some of the other options which may be typically available to them."
Aisling's research included interviews with 15 of the over 30 farmers throughout the country who facilitated placements on their farms in 2017. "Most of those who engage in social farming have small to medium farm holdings, do not farm intensively and have mixed farming systems.
"Many have additional skills, such as woodworking or cooking and we find that there is typically a strong emphasis on the maintenance of traditional farming skills, welfare of animals and the heritage and ecological value of the farm," said Aisling.
"When we spoke to social farmers about the benefits they experienced, to the forefront was a strong sense of personal satisfaction from having made a difference in participants' lives and a sense of enjoyment and fun from having participants and others spend time on the farm," said Aisling.
For many, social farming has led to improved community connections and a reduction in the sense of isolation which can be common in modern farming. Other benefits include more meaningful and productive use of the assets of the farm such as old farm buildings or kitchen gardens, and the availability of an additional income stream.
"Overall, we can say that the working family farm seems to provide a unique environment in which to address various dimensions of the well-being and development of participants but in a very ordinary, natural and holistic way," Aisling said.
"There are farmers the length and breadth of the country who have the interest and the untapped personal and farm resources to become social farmers and we are always interested in hearing from new farmers."
A national social farming office, funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the CEDRA (Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas) fund, is based in Leitrim Development Company and supports the national development of social farming alongside three partner organisations.
"Social farming is very well on the way to being established across many counties in Ireland," said Aisling.
However, there remain a number of areas the national office is particularly interested in hearing from potential social farmers. These include: Longford; Meath; Dublin; Wicklow; Laois; Offaly; and Kildare.
Anyone interested in further details should go along to one of the Kildare LEADER Partnership events being held across the county in the coming week.
Kildare LEADER Partnership is running animation events to promote its LEADER RDP programme and has invited Social Farming Ireland to attend its information evenings.
The dates are: March 8, Teach Dara, Kildare town; March 13, Celbridge Manor Hotel; and March 15, Clanard Court Hotel, Athy. The meetings will run between 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Social Farming Ireland is currently planning training for late spring.
Information is also available from project co-ordinator, Helen Doherty, in the national social farming office at: 071-9641772, email: [email protected]
For those who would like to know more about the forthcoming conference or the ongoing research being carried out on social farming, Aisling can be contacted at: 086-1448719; or by email: [email protected]

My dear people of Loyal, Greenwood and Willard I am very happy to see you all. First of all I would like to introduce myself . I came to USA in the month of august 2017. So far I have stayed in four places (Wisconsin Rapids, Marshfield, Loyal and Menomonie). I am still learning and admiring many good things in this country especially about your culture and administration.
I have learned many good qualities from Rev. Fr. Steve and I personally thank him for his wonderful guidance. He has taken many efforts and initiatives in his time and he has succeeded well. In the same way I believe that you will be with me in my pastoral ministry in the future.
