FAMILY: When I've been out to What's Cooking, the small Mexican restaurant on Commerce Road with a whole bunch of plants and a sign that resembles a cabin, I haven't been super impressed. The food was fine, but the tortas were nothing very exciting, and I felt you could get better Mexican food elsewhere. That didn't give me super high hopes for El Zarco (650 W. Broad St., 706-850-2010), brought to you by the same people as What's Cooking, but in a much closer location. It turns out, it's both sweet and worth your time, especially if you live or work toward the middle of town.
The space that was previously 180°F Cafe, serving Taiwanese street food, has been reimagined, with sarapes on the tables and walls to provide color and twinkly lights around the windows. El Zarco still feels a bit like a temporary operation, or one that's built for take-out business, partially due to the plastic cutlery, and partially due to the way your complimentary salsa for dine-in comes in a little disposable container with a lid, ice cold from the fridge. The menu is a simple, two-sided thing with a single photograph, and a lot of the offerings don't seem all that adventurous (e.g., a salad with fried chicken tenders over mixed greens, with or without buffalo sauce). None of that is very promising, but there are lovely things to be found, especially on the weekend.
Mexican-style tacos come on house-made corn tortillas that are a bit thicker than the norm and therefore feature only one tortilla per taco rather than two. Dressed with the usual cilantro, chopped raw onion and lime, they can be ordered with chicken, chorizo, asada or al pastor, and although everything is pretty good, the latter—as it often is—is the best. Just get three of those, and enjoy the pineapple. There are nice enchiladas, with rice and beans on the side, that are pleasingly simple and flavorful. The chips are homemade and, again, thicker than usual, which I don't love, but you might.
I still don't think the torta is all that. The Cubana version comes with steak, chicken, ham and pineapple, plus tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeño and mayo, but it never quite coalesces into the magical, sour-spicy-meaty mouthful of melded ingredients that the best ones do. Maybe it's not a good way to judge the restaurant, or maybe I'm just always chasing the perfect version.
Flip the menu over, and you'll see a section of entrees that includes several mole sauces. Should you arrive on a weekend to find a dish of chorizo in a green mole, order it. Tender, acidic and satisfying, it is a great combination of meat and sauce. Also available on the weekends are homemade horchata, hibiscus and tamarindo for the drinking, and you shouldn't neglect to check the board that lists daily desserts, which might include some pretty tasty cream-filled churros.
The restaurant is undeniably a family-run organization, and the small size gives everything a personal touch. El Zarco also has hot wings, Jarritos, dips, fajitas, sopes, burritos, grilled shrimp and nachos. It does not serve alcohol, and is open for lunch Tuesday through Sunday and for dinner every day. Unlike its parent organization, which now just does catering, it takes credit cards.
ROAD TRIP: If you're in Madison on a Saturday, you might want to hit up Madison Produce Company, which also serves as a deli. From the outside, it looks like the kind of cutesy shop that is the town's brand, but if you step inside, you'll see that it actually has both beer and wine to consume with your meal. Order at the counter, and you can sit inside or outside, either choice involving patio furniture. You can also wander around and look at many, many different types of honeys, jams, pickles and suchlike, or you can peruse some fresh vegetables, beef from Verner Farms, down the road in Rutledge, bread from Luna and more, both refrigerated and not.
Madison Produce Company is open from 10 a.m.–8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

It seems as if the K's special teams practice only got it half right this week. Scoring three power play goals and a shorthanded goal should equal a win every time. Giving up four power play goals and a shorthanded goal is real, real, ugly. This is a game they should have won, two points they should have had. They had a five on three man advantage for one minute and thirty-seven seconds and it sounded that only one shot found its way on goal. Changes need to be made on special teams. Again, too many penalties. It is killing them. The penalty kill has for the most part been non-existant this year. Way too many experienced players to let that happen. I'll bet Al Sims is real unhappy and David Franke is keeping a close watch on it. Not a good thing with the eventual roster changes coming.
Hukalo coming back will help....O'Connor is a great PK guy too. I think you have seen alot of rotation of players playing in certain situations early this season just to see what they can and can't do...Al will get this thing tightened up. Last night's game was odd all around. The Ref didn't let these guys play....someone fell down, and he would automatically call a penalty....it was awful. It is hard to play when you don't know what a penalty is from this ex-linesman now converted into a Ref.....he was bad. But I agree, the 5 on 3 was poorly executed. A couple of the Powerplay Pieces need to be tweaked. I think, and this is just me, that PC and Guy need to be separated. PC's shot has been off the mark, he takes a shot and it misses the net by alot, I am sure he will get into game shape sometime before Christmas, and he might start playing like the PC we knew last year...but right now, we need to find some new combinations. Shafronov is not playing his best right now either, but he is capable of taking over a game like he did last year several times. I want to see the lines take a different shape, we could use a different combination. Let's put Chaulk in the middle of a line that has 2 talented youngsters. When Hukalo comes back I am sure that will pump life into the 2nd line. We'll see, the season is still young. Guys still are finding their ways on the ice.
This league is loaded this year too. No easy road.
Of course Hukalo will help. I agree that O'Conner is probably good on the penalty kill too. Two problems, though. One, they are taking so many penalties this year that their penalty kill gets wore out and two, they lose most of the faceoffs also. On the power play I would like to see the forwards (especially Chaulk and Shafranov) shoot more and the other forwards crash the net. Traditionally the K's never seem to play thier best hockey until around Christmas. I'm a little concerned about the game tonight because Muskegon is not the team you want to face if your penalty kill is below par.

Since the arrival of e-cigarettes on the U.S. market in 2007, proponents of the vaping pen have heralded it as the modern answer to tobacco and an effective measure in reducing preventable disease. Just as quickly, they were dismissed by critics as wanting for evidence verifying its safety, often arguing that the wide range of flavours (ranging from the innocuous strawberries and cream to the bizarre hot dog) were formulated with a view towards attracting children and adolescents. In either case, the consensus in the medical community at present is that vaping is vastly preferable to traditional smoking.
However, less than 20% of smokers who try electronic cigarettes end up using them daily. In a study published in 2017, smokers attempting to make the switch complained that vaping "wasn't quite there yet as a substitute" and didn't produce "the same pleasure or effects" as tobacco. In online support groups, complaints abound from former tobacco users bemoaning the fact that vaping doesn't eliminate their cravings. So, is there a tangible difference in the way vaping delivers nicotine?
The answer is a resounding "yes, probably" – though this depends on who you ask. Experts maintain that compared to cigarette smoking, vaping is simply an inferior nicotine delivery system. Indeed, one study showed that vaping in regular intervals for 5 minutes gave rise to a plasma concentration of nicotine only up to a third of that provided by one cigarette. But stranger answers come from other quarters. A minority in the vaping community argue that the reason vapes don't satisfy tobacco smokers is that tobacco users aren't addicted to nicotine at all. Instead, they prefer to use the term "tobacco addiction" and insist that nicotine alone is not an addictive substance.
While this seems a bizarre claim (nicotine withdrawal syndrome has been widely observed and well-defined), it does belie the widespread notion that nicotine addiction is perfectly well understood. The development of nicotine dependency has been shown to consist of a mix of reinforcement mechanisms, including primary drug reinforcement but also associative learning and pavlovian-style conditioning, which combine to give rise to a uniquely complex mechanism of dependency which continues to require research.
Nevertheless, it is true that other substances than nicotine in tobacco smoke potentiate nicotine dependency and increase the probability of relapse after cessation. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as norharman (found in active amounts in cigarette smoke) reduce the level of monoamine oxidase in smoker's brains, and it has been shown in rats that inhibiting monoamine oxidase dramatically increased their motivation to self-administer nicotine. Other components like acetaldehyde have been shown to have addictive properties of their own.
While 95% of the alkaloids in tobacco consist of nicotine, 5% consists of different alkaloids which also have neuroactive effects. On the back of this, smokers on internet forums, disappointed with their vaping experience, have donned their pharmacological hats and pointed to this missing 5% as the source of their worries. Various e-liquid vendors have, in turn, released lines of Whole Tobacco Alkaloid (WTA) e-liquids, reportedly containing these missing molecules. Whether this 5% of alkaloids (which are already similar in structure to nicotine) are the culprits behind the smokers missing satisfaction, however, seems unlikely.
What seems more likely is that tobacco is intensely difficult to abstain from by design. One study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that 100 of 599 documented additives in cigarette tobacco had pharmacological effects of enhancing nicotine delivery and increasing the addictive potential of cigarettes. Ammonia added to cigarettes converts nicotine to its freebase form (the equivalent of converting cocaine to crack-cocaine), and researchers at Harvard University found that tobacco companies used additives to help ease smoking initiation in people who would otherwise find the smoke too harsh.
In any case, vaping remains for now a useful cessation aid, especially in combination with other therapies. And as the technology develops and long-term safety is ascertained, there continues to be hope that more and more smokers who want to make the change will be able to do so.

Sitting on a random corner, in the grassy crux of my driveway and West King Street, it waits for a new family.
To be honest, it shouldn't even be there, looking quite new as it does. Not yet two years old.
The original high chair that we had owned — a luxurious Peg Perego — had been sold years before for a mere pittance of just $10 at a yard sale. This "new" high chair came to us after our fourth child was born. It was made by Childcraft, with a sturdy wooden seat and a large thick plastic tray, indestructible and easy to clean, even if it didn't fit into the kitchen sink.
Amos, our 2-year-old son, had spent many an hour inside it, happily practicing his pincer grasp with Cheerios, handing the dog snippets of ham or peanut butter toast, and smearing yogurt and spaghetti in his hair before the throwing and dumping occurred.
If you look closely today, there are still food remnants left behind on the various surrounding surfaces — the floor, a wooden bench nearby, a once-clean painted wall, a cabinet and even the clear plastic of our fish tank. Each speckled with a seemingly impenetrable concrete layer of the meals Amos enjoyed and eventually grew tired of; now lasting evidence of blue yogurt, a splash of milk, a stain of ketchup. Being someone that can overlook mess, and even some dirt here or there, I wasn't too bothered by this unscrapeable sludge left behind by my son's high chair adventures.
Bigger things were brewing for us, though, before I even knew they were possible. You see, Amos has special needs, and the high chair began to represent a vicious reality: He is growing up, and will soon leave babyhood behind; but in some ways, only physically. As he's continued to grow, so have his limitations.
The high chair has been evacuated from our home not because it is finally too small, but because I can no longer stand to look at its foreboding presence.
It was not just this high chair, but the ones at grandparents' houses and in restaurants, hotels and even at our church. They are getting smaller or truthfully, Amos is getting bigger. His body has been growing fast, too difficult to cram into the high chair. Even if his legs are willing, his growing feet clad in saddle shoes are not. Squares don't fit into circles and so, I have taken off the shoes and breathed a sigh of relief for the last time.
Yes, I put the high chair to the corner because I could not bear the inevitable day when it would officially be too small for Amos' lengthy frame. Banishing it to the curb on my terms would, I hope, prevent the inevitable tears.
My terms feel safer and because there are so few of them these days, and I relish when I have an opportunity to make the decisions myself.
It was I who decided we would no longer call him a baby, and that we would get him a communication device. It's me who will take him out to his future classroom next year and sit in the small chair and smile, encouraging him and his siblings to embrace this opportunity.
In some ways, it feels like death though, as we move further towards the unknown. But I try my best every day to fight from feeling like there's an impending gloom that's headed our way, and instead, embrace the inevitable.
This week, the "inevitable" is his innocent, still new, and not-yet-outgrown high chair, which now sits waiting for a new family. It won't be one of the millions of things that brings me to tears. No, my pro-active self won the game this time. And besides, Amos is already tickled with the alternative: He has quickly laid claim to the green wooden frog-shaped table and chairs, wiped down and moved inside from the outdoor play house.
So good bye, high chair. We will miss you, but it's time to move on. My toddler is growing and it is time for the table, even if you did feel safer. I will miss your island of confinement and safety in my kitchen, but as they say, all good things must come to an end, and I could not sit idly by and wait for you to steal my joy.
It is a choice, you know.


Funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) K12 grant award, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Faculty Development Program promotes UChicago researchers interested in PCOR and supports their development into independent investigators. During the program, scholars participate in advanced coursework and receive mentorship from PCOR researchers at UChicago to advance their own research careers.
Eligible candidates have earned a clinical or research doctorate and have a junior faculty or instructor position by the time of appointment to the K12 program. Postdoctoral fellows and research associates may apply for the program; sponsoring departments must commit to appointing the candidate to a faculty or instructor position upon being selected for a K12 slot. Read more about the eligibility requirements here.
Scholars accepted into the program receive two to three years of a minimum of 75% salary support (up to $90,000 plus fringe) and up to $20,000 annually in research development support costs. Scholars' departments must agree to cost share salary not covered by K12 funds.
The K12 program is currently accepting applications.
The PCOR K12 Program is seeking two final scholar candidates for positions starting August 1, 2018. Please note that this is the last application call that will be held for the program.
If you are interested in a potential appointment, please email Kelsey Bogue at kbogue@bsd.uchicago.edu with a few sentences about your research interests and a copy of your biosketch or CV to discuss an expedited application and review process.
Assesses the benefits and harms of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, palliative, or health delivery system interventions to inform decision making, highlighting comparisons and outcomes that matter to people.
Is inclusive of an individual's preferences, autonomy, and needs, while focusing on outcomes that people notice and care about such as survival, function, symptoms, and health-related quality of life.
Incorporates a wide variety of settings and diversity of participants to address individual differences and barriers to implementation and dissemination.
Investigates optimizing outcomes while addressing burden to individuals; availability of services, technology, and personnel; and other stakeholder perspectives.
This K12 mentored career award supports the development of PCOR researchers at the University of Chicago with the objective of helping these individuals progress towards becoming independent investigators in PCOR. We welcome applicants with diverse clinical backgrounds and individuals who work within various clinical professions.
Scholars will be eligible for two years of a minimum of 75% salary support (up to $90,000 plus fringe) and up to $20,000 per year in research development support costs, such as research expenses, supplies, and technical personnel. The second year of funding is contingent on the scholar's progress in the first year. Please note that any scholar appointed to an AHRQ-supported K12 program or an AHRQ-supported individual mentored career development award may not exceed a total of five years of AHRQ-mentored career development support.
Scholars are expected to apply for an individual career development award (K01, K08, K23, etc.) or independent research funding (R01, R21, R03, etc.) by the beginning of their final year of appointment to the K12 grant. To be clear, this means that the scholar will not receive funding for the final year of the K12 appointment if the scholar has not submitted a K/R proposal prior to the start of this final appointment year.
Most trainees will be required to earn a master's degree through the Department of Public Health Sciences' Masters Program for Clinical Professional (MSCP), which is designed to provide training in health services and outcomes research. Typically, trainees begin their MSCP training by participating in the Summer Program in Outcomes Research Training (SPORT). Courses included in SPORT and MSCP will provide didactic training in core PCOR competencies. If a scholar has prior training that is duplicative of the MSCP degree, than the scholar should request to waive out of this requirement in their application.
Complete advanced coursework in one of three methodological areas of PCOR: 1) experimental approaches; 2) decision-analytic approaches; or 3) observational approaches. View a list of proposed coursework for each methodological area here.
Complete advanced coursework in one of two application foci of PCOR. These areas are health disparities and health care delivery improvement and reform. View a list of proposed electives for both application foci here.
Participate in Advanced Methods in Patient Centered Outcome Research capstone course if offered during the scholar's appointment.
Regularly attend and present at research development workshops, such as the Outcomes Research Workshop (ORW). Scholars will be responsible for scheduling ORW speakers and moderating workshops at least one academic quarter each year.
Name a primary research mentor and a 3 – 4 person mentorship team involving that mentor and one or more members of the program core faculty. In addition to frequent meetings with individual mentors, the entire team must meet with the scholar at least twice annually.
Prepare Learning Plans that describe the scholar's goals and plans at the start of the training period, updating on a quarterly basis to indicate progress towards goals as well as barriers or modifications to the plans. This learning plan will include a contract describing expectations and plans for the scholar and his/her mentors. The scholar's primary mentor must sign and provide written comments on the scholar's progress through the learning plan each quarter. The scholar's entire mentorship team must sign and provide comments once per year. Updated CVs will also be required on a quarterly basis.
Comply with all AHRQ program reporting requirements, including annual progress report updates and appointment processes.
Applicants must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or permanent resident and have a junior faculty or instructor position by the time of appointment to the K12 program. University of Chicago fellows or research associates are also eligible to apply; the sponsoring department's Statement of Commitment letter must include an assurance from the candidate's Department Chair or Section Chief that the candidate will transition to a faculty or instructor position at the soonest possible date if he/she is funded. Such assurances will be viewed more favorably if they are accompanied by statements from the Chair explaining why they believe such an appointment is likely to be favorably reviewed by higher levels of the University administration.
The Statement of Commitment letter from the sponsoring department must assure that the candidate will be able to devote a minimum of 9 person months - 75% full time professional effort - to conduct research career development activities associated with this award for a two year period beginning summer o2018 if s/he is awarded the fellowship. The department must also be willing to cost share any remaining salary difference above the $90,000 at 75% time.
Individuals are eligible for placement as a scholar if they have been, or currently are the PD/PI of an NIH or AHRQ R36, F31, or F32 grant or a Federal or non-Federal award that duplicates the provisions or research goals of these grants and otherwise meet all other eligibility criteria. The scholar will have to terminate the existing award before being appointed to the K12. Individuals are also eligible to be scholar candidates if they have been, or currently are the PD/PI of an NIH or AHRQ R03 or R21 grant or a Federal or non-Federal award that duplicates the provisions or research goals of an R03 or R21 grant.
Per RFA-HS-13-008, research career training objectives and candidates must focus the content on health care delivery within the United States.
Have been or are currently a PD/PI on peer-reviewed non-federal research grants, contracts or cooperative agreements over $100,000 direct costs per year.
We urge you to review and consult the original RFA, RFA-HS-13-008, as additional stipulations may be specified.
The application deadline is rolling for scholar positions to start August 1, 2018. Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
We are holding an expedited application and review process to fill two final positions on the K12 award. Please contact Kelsey Bogue along with a few sentences about your research interests and a biosketch or CV to confirm your eligibility and discuss an expedited application process.

Transmission power increases in Apache helicopter without increasing size or weight.
New Apache Block II helicopter began delivery in October 2011.
ARL holds institutional knowledge on face gear research and development.
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) helped figure out 20 years ago a revolutionary way to increase transmission power in the Apache helicopter without increasing the transmission's size or weight. Split-torque face gear technology is now inside the Improved Drive System of the new Apache Block III helicopter that began delivery in October 2011.
With split-torque face gear technology, helicopters can now have more power without becoming heavier or bigger, said Lt. Col. David "Blake" Stringer, Ph.D., who is the Chief, Vehicle Technology Directorate Field Element Office in Cleveland. With increased power density, the helicopter's drive system now has advanced from a horsepower of 2,828 to 3,400, with growth potential, and the helicopter can fly longer, at higher altitudes carrying almost 200 pounds more weapons with a fuel tank—thanks to, essentially, basic scientific research begun by ARL decades ago.
The current Army objective is to field 690 AH-64D Apache Block III helicopters over the next 15 to 20 years. The initial production phase calls for 74 transmissions plus initial spares.
"Face gear technology is really unique because it allows you to send a lot more power through the same geometric footprint than you could normally do with any kind of conventional or other gear configuration," he said. "The biggest benefit when we started the program was weight reduction. The initial projections from the project were 40 percent weight reduction compared to the current baseline Apache transmission."
Face gears are a specific type of intersecting-shaft gears that have been traditionally used in positioning mechanisms such as clocks, but the Army found an application to use them in high power transfer applications. Think of gears as a circular disc, Stringer suggested. "The disc consists of the outer circular edge and two 'faces.' In spur or helical gears, the teeth are on the outer edge of the gear disc. In bevel gears, the teeth are set at some angle between the outer edge and the face. With face gears, the teeth are cut on the 'face' of the gear disc, or perpendicular to the edge of the disc."
The tests that the Block III and the PM have had with the face gears has been incredibly successful, a lot more successful I think than they had anticipated and so we'll just keep going and see how it evolves and if it's as successful on Block III as it continues through the acquisition process, it will probably proliferate through most of the helicopter fleet eventually.
Transmission failure is the second most dangerous in-flight emergency after fires, Stringer said, which is part of the reason that the U.S. Army began an effort in 1988 to improve drive system technology. They focused most of their efforts on reducing aircraft weight and noise. He said the Army also undertook a project to find a way to keep the airframe itself in service much longer, and to develop technology for a future attack helicopter.
Propulsion experts in ARL's Vehicle Technology Directorate in Cleveland, Ohio teamed with industry, academic, and government partners on this effort, which is primarily studied and tested at the Glenn Research Center. The results led to the creation of the first use of face gears for high speed, high load rotorcraft applications.
"The Army and NASA relationship has been in place since 1970, right before this organization was part of the Army Research Lab. The facilities that have been here because of NASA funding and Army funding are not easily replicated anywhere else," Stringer said from his office in Cleveland. "They're unique. They're always state of the art or better. And that Army-NASA relationship has enabled us – from both organizations – using people and resources from both organizations to really advance the state of the art, not just here in face gear technology but in engine technology, engine materials research technology and all other aspects of helicopter propulsion technology.
Other important contributors included Boeing, Northstar, the Army's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, the University of Illinois, NASA, and DARPA.
During initial research and testing, the team developed methods to control tooth contact, simulate meshing, and predict transmission error. They established tooth generation simulation tools and methods to define limiting inner and outer radii and performed initial experiments in-house to demonstrate the feasibility for the use of face gears in helicopter applications. Their studies projected that a split-torque, face-gear transmission gives a 40 percent decrease in weight compared to a conventional design for an advanced attack helicopter application. However, researchers say there's benefit for just about any helicopter type.
Throughout the 1990s, VTD's technical guidance helped design and conduct prototype testing. VTD also influenced the design of a face gear grinding machine, which was needed to manufacture high-precision face gears but was commercially unavailable. Gears used in helicopter power transfer applications are highly precisioned mechanical components. The gear tooth geometry is designed to a precise shape with very tight tolerances. This is needed to ensure smooth and proper meshing during operation as well as ensuring durability. The gears are made from high-strength, high-quality steel, undergoing many processes in fabrication to include carburizing and hardening. This is required to produce the high-strength mechanical properties but requires a final grinding step to achieve the accurate tooth profiles. Currently, there are only two machines in existence that are qualified to manufacture face gears for the Apache drive system. ARL tested gears produced on both machines to ensure that they met or exceeded required specifications.
He said face gears are being studied for use in other helicopter drive applications beyond Apache Block III.
ARL holds the institutional knowledge on face gear research and development, and on how to approach new, high-risk technologies, perform the basic and applied research tasks required for proving the concepts, and then transitioning those to the appropriate research, development and engineering center for development. This knowledge has enabled ARL to pursue other high-risk propulsion technologies in the areas of condition-based maintenance, advanced drives materials, and surface engineering techniques.

Q: tkz-euclide: points render "under" lines When building a figure using the tkz-euclide package within the tufte-handout class, some points lie "underneath" intersecting lines, while other points lie "on top" of intersecting lines in the rendered output.
For example, when running this code (from the package documentation) for the "Golden Triangle,"
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tkzDefPoint(0,0){C}
\tkzDefPoint(4,0){D}
\tkzDefSquare(C,D)
\tkzGetPoints{e}{f}
\tkzDefMidPoint(C,f)
\tkzGetPoint{m}
\tkzInterLC(C,f)(m,e)
\tkzGetSecondPoint{n}
\tkzInterCC[with nodes](C,C,n)(D,C,n) \tkzGetFirstPoint{B}
\tkzInterLC(C,D)(D,B) \tkzGetSecondPoint{A}
\tkzInterLC(B,A)(B,D) \tkzGetSecondPoint{E} \tkzInterLL(B,D)(C,E) \tkzGetPoint{F} \tkzDrawPoints(C,D,B) \tkzDrawPolygon(B,...,D) \tkzDrawPolygon(B,C,D)
\tkzDrawSegments(D,A A,B C,E) \tkzDrawArc[delta=10](B,C)(E) \tkzDrawPoints(A,...,F) \tkzMarkRightAngle[fill=blue!20](B,F,C) \tkzFillAngles[fill=blue!10](C,B,D E,A,D) \tkzMarkAngles(C,B,D E,A,D) \tkzLabelAngles[pos=1.5](C,B,D E,A,D){$\alpha$} \tkzLabelPoints[below](A,C,D,E) \tkzLabelPoints[above right](B,F)
\end{tikzpicture}

this image results:

If you look closely, points A, B and F exhibit this description.
How do I correct this?

A: Things are drawn in the order in which they appear in the code (unless layers are specified for parts of the code), so to get the points drawn on top, it's simply a matter of moving \tkzDrawPoints(A,...,F) to the very end of the the diagram, after all the other parts. (You can remove the \tkzDrawPoints(C,D,B) by the way, that is redundant.)
I'd also suggest drawing the lines after the \tkzFillAngles and \tkzMarkRightAngle, currently the filling cover half the lines.
\documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tkz-euclide}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\tkzDefPoint(0,0){C}
\tkzDefPoint(4,0){D}
\tkzDefSquare(C,D)
\tkzGetPoints{e}{f}
\tkzDefMidPoint(C,f)
\tkzGetPoint{m}
\tkzInterLC(C,f)(m,e)
\tkzGetSecondPoint{n}
\tkzInterCC[with nodes](C,C,n)(D,C,n) \tkzGetFirstPoint{B}
\tkzInterLC(C,D)(D,B) \tkzGetSecondPoint{A}
\tkzInterLC(B,A)(B,D) \tkzGetSecondPoint{E} \tkzInterLL(B,D)(C,E) \tkzGetPoint{F}
\tkzDrawArc[delta=10](B,C)(E)
\tkzMarkRightAngle[fill=blue!20](B,F,C)
\tkzFillAngles[fill=blue!10](C,B,D E,A,D)
\tkzMarkAngles(C,B,D E,A,D)
\tkzLabelAngles[pos=1.5](C,B,D E,A,D){$\alpha$}
\tkzLabelPoints[below](A,C,D,E)
\tkzLabelPoints[above right](B,F)

\tkzDrawSegments(D,A A,B C,E)
\tkzDrawPolygon(B,C,D)
\tkzDrawPoints(A,...,F)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: Draw points after angle filling. That is, move \tkzDrawPoints after corresponding \tkzFillAngles.
PS: Your example is very similar to the second example in tkz-euclide manual, sec. 1.3.1 Example Part I: gold triangle. You can learn the command order used in package manual.


Hi, Shannon! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for POPping by with this question! It sounds like you have a splashtastic vacation planned with your family. My girls love staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel while visiting the theme parks because they know that we can always hop on a Disney bus back to our resort and swim for a bit each afternoon. There are three pools found across Disney's Pop Century Resort - the Hippy Dippy Pool, the Bowling Pool, and the Computer Pool. I am pleased to let you know that you can leave the beach towels at home, as the resort does provide pool towels for guests. You will find a large compartment of them at each pool, with a handy towel return caddy nearby. If you need personal flotation devices, these are also found at each pool. So, this leaves more room in your suitcases for lots of fun souvenirs!
While I am sure the household chores are last on your mind during vacation, I do want to let you know that you can find a laundry room filled with washers and dryers at each pool at the resort. I usually throw in a load or two while the girls swim. The high-efficiency machines at the resorts have the loads done faster than you can spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! To help keep an eye on the cycle, the LandryView website allows you to check the time remaining on each machine and can even notify you by text when your load is complete! Why, that's bubble-rrific!
Thanks again for stopping by and please let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan your pixie-dusted adventures!
On 4/3/2019 Kristina from NY Asked: What are the pool hours for April at the Polynesian Resort,specifically next week 4/10-4/15. Thank you!
On 4/3/2019 Lauren from FL Asked: Are swimways baby spring floats allowed in the pools at Disney World Resorts?
On 4/1/2019 Britney from PA Asked: Hello! We will be staying at Pop Century this summer. As a Disney guest are we able to venture to other resort pools or are we limited to just the ones at Pop? Thanks!

About HMSSG
What is HMSSG?
HMSSG stands for Herefordshire Museum Service Support Group.
We are a charitable organisation, set up in 2015, whose aims are to support the Herefordshire Council's Museum Service in the face of falling public funding. HMSSG is a membership network for supporters of Herefordshire Council's Museum Service. The Museum Service includes:
the significant County museum and art collections (over 180,000 objects which are part of Herefordshire's heritage, held in trust for its people)
the Museum and Art Gallery in Broad St
the Resource and Learning Centre where the Collections are stored
the Black and White House in High Town
and the professional staff team
Over the last few years there have been considerable funding cutbacks to the service - which is why it needs a Friends Group more than ever.
In early 2017 HMSSG became a registered membership Charity and it will have its first AGM in April 2018. HMSSG is only as strong as its members, on whose support the future of the Museum depends.
HMSSG's vision is for a sustainable 21st century museum service which gives a wide range of people better access to the wonderful County Collections. This can be through galleries, exhibitions, pop-up displays, group and educational activities taking place in a range of venues. It also includes digital participation: interactive online images and information, websites and social media.
We are always seeking funding to support the museum services in various ways. We were very pleased when the partnership bid we were working on with Herefordshire Council to the Heritage Lottery Fund's 'Resilient Heritage' scheme to fund an options appraisal for the future of the Museum Service was successful. Fundiing from central government or Herefordshire Council will soon be reducing to zero, so could Museum Services be managed by a charitable Trust or other organisation? Read more about this here
We are also using funding received from AIM (Association of Independent Museums) to set up and train users for this website. See more here
Supporting our Museums: can you volunteer?
Any chance of the Museum in Broad Street remaining open depends on sufficient volunteers coming forward to supervise the displays. In addition, the HMSSG board are looking for additional trustees, especially with skills in finance and social media. If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact us.

Few Answers. A Lot More Questions!!!
That has been a lot going on since her discovery of the Dream Library. It seems to hold every piece of information on all for the Dream Realities and Realms. Dream gets the impression that they are infinite. For each time she think she understands one she get sit flipped all around. Showing her that she still has a lot to learn about being a Dreamwalker and a Dreamweaver. In all of the reading she has been doing she had been slapped with a bit of reality of her own.
It did not take her long to know that she can read the books, parchments, scrolls and carvings any where but the Dream Library. It makes a lot of sense since only those with dream abilities would be able to reach them. That would keep them out of wrong hands. That does give her a bit of security. She is trying to balance all of this new information and going to school at the same time. It was not easy before all of this but not it is a whole new storm to deal with on top of trying to have a social life. Not that she has much of once of those anyway.
She is keeping notes in her journal but in a special shorthand one she has the means of decoding. Just so she can keep her eyes out for anything that might match in this reality. She is starting to feel that all of then are real in their own rights. What she has been writing down as soon as she wakes up is anything she can find on the Councils. There are not two of them but three. They are the Light Council, the Dark Council, and the Grand Council. It seems everyone one has to answer to someone in the end. It is said that everything has to balance out now and again. There is almost a being known as a Dream Seeker. According to what Dream can tell is they were the ones to keep the balance between Dreamscapes and Nightmarescapes. They are one that go to clean out the mix of dreams and nightmares that get caught up in the webbing of the dreamcatchers.
All of this has her thinking a lot of things over. She has been wondering of she will meet anyone else along the way. So far she has only met Luka and it was a very brief encounter. She wants to know what the magick is going on. She is not sure what will happen if she happens to enter the wrong door and it the wrong person's mind. She knows that she can't doubt herself She has to be confident for all the Dreamers in the worlds that she must help.

Gerard thought. He turned to take a quick look in the Chippendale mirror behind him, straightening the collar of the black ERCC polo shirt under his plum linen jacket. Not bad. At twenty-nine he was considered young for his position, but he felt his studied manner and professional calm gave him the authority needed to do the job. He reached in his top drawer for a comb, which he swept through his dark hair, simultaneously examining his bleached teeth and admiring the balanced architecture of his features.
Tell her I'm sorry, Luisa," said Vita, reaching unsuccessfully for the leg. " Vita raised her right hand. "No more oil. But I want to know everything, do you understand? I want to see how it's done. " "See what? " "Call your momma and tell her we're coming over for a lesson. " Luisa shook her head. " "Farm-raised will be fine," said Vita, winning the leg back again.

Arietta asked in a corrective tone, pretending as always that she'd been kept waiting. But Madeline was punctual to a fault. Even as they spoke, they heard four bells from the church in town, and they both glanced instinctively at the imposing grandfather clock, which could neither confirm nor deny. It had come with the house, complete with steeples and brass fittings, inlaid with bits of ivory and Roman numerals. It had everything but time. The clock had stopped at six thirty during World War II, when there was no one on the home front to fix it.


Sheila has had a lifelong passion for drawing and painting and began exhibiting her work professionally in 2007 after completing two years of study at Glasgow School of Art.
Her painting depicts landscape and studio still life through vibrant colours and bold texture. Landscape paintings are full of colour and light, combining realism and attention to detail, with more abstract brush strokes. Still life and floral pieces are bold and yet carefully composed.

Ghost and Volbeat Return to GIANT Center on Co-Headline Tour
Tickets On Sale Friday, September 24 at 10 a.m.
Ghost and Volbeat are bringing their 2022 U.S. Tour to GIANT Center with special guest Twin Temple on Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
Tickets are available online at www.HersheyEntertainment.com and www.Ticketmaster.com.
Co-produced by Live Nation and Frank Productions, the 26-city tour kicks off on January 25 in Reno, Nevada's Reno Events Center making stops across the U.S. in Hershey, Pa., Denver, Chicago, Dallas, and more before wrapping up in Anaheim, Calif., at the Honda Center on March 3.
GRAMMY-winning Swedish rock band, Ghost, has elevated themselves to one of the most esteemed and celebrated rock bands in the world today. Three consecutive no. 1 Active Rock radio singles, debuting at no. 1 (Rock) and no. 3 (Top 200) on the Billboard album charts, accumulating well over a billion streams, headlining arena tours, opening stadium shows for Metallica, and gracing magazine covers and television screens the world over are just part of their story. The band's passionate fan base and critical praise also stems from their ability to constantly be pushing their creative boundaries. Their most recent album "Prequelle," is loosely based on The Black Plague of 14th century Europe, a metaphor that sadly became a premonition that applies to the societal ills of our times. Though the band's music at times has dark lyrical content, it never loses its catchy rock edge.
Since forming in 2001, Volbeat has gone from the clubs of Copenhagen to headlining stages around the world, including the famed Telia Parken stadium in Denmark. Over the course of seven record-breaking albums, the band has picked up no. 1 songs, multi-platinum certifications, awards and accolades all over the planet. Their latest album, "Rewind, Replay, Rebound," was released on August 2, 2019, and has spawned the hit singles "Last Day Under The Sun," "Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon)" and "Leviathan." A live album featuring songs recorded during the subsequent world tour, "Rewind, Replay, Rebound: Live in Deutschland," was released digitally on November 27, 2020. Most recently, the band shared a "double blast" of brand new songs for the Summer: "Dagen Før (feat. Stine Bramsen)" and "Wait A Minute My Girl."

Giant Center hosts an impressive line-up of star-studded performances including concerts, professional ice shows and family events. It also serves as home to the Hershey Bears Hockey Club and various PIAA high school state championship events.


I've been asked many times why I seem to have such an affinity for writing about firefighters and smokejumpers. There are several reasons including the fact I adore writing about action characters who live on the very precipice of danger. I also enjoy creating a sense of fear or anxiety with a little mystery and suspense. Romance of course is a key element, but show me a woman who doesn't crave a dangerous man and… You know what I mean.
In penning the smokejumper series, I took a significant amount of time researching both Missoula Montana as well as the smokejumping profession. The city itself is magical and majestic, probably larger than you might imagine. The town located at the base of several mountain ranges, there are also three significant rivers running through the city. You can imagine the outdoor recreation including all snow related events. The area and portions west have the horrific fires that unfortunately we've seen on the news this year. Smokejumpers make certain that fires are kept away from foliage and structures by using chainsaws, axes and other specialty implements, creating trenches or removing portions of a forest to reduce fuel for a fire.
They are elite, hardworking and trained in manners that are much different than your typical firefighter. One major difference is that they don't use water at all to abate a fire. I try and provide realistic details in every story, while making the words penned on the page entertaining. In my series, the men are passionate as well as dominating in their profession as well as their personal life. They exude sexuality and the women they love are very special indeed. After all, they have to share their men with a love of fire.
A hidden gem inside each book tells a tale that weaves the men together, and not just because of what they do. They also crave being the dominant in a relationship and believe in some rather old fashioned values – men being the head of the household. Now, what happens to the women who don't obey their rules? Well, a little discipline is in order and often in the terms of a spanking. They belong to a special club they call Burnout. By invitation only, they share stories, ideas and ideals about domestic discipline. They are strong men but every one of them has a daunting past, a dark secret or an invasive desire to make changes in their lives.
But don't worry. My heroines aren't meek in any manner. They fight for their professions, their love and family, and are highly opinionated, which leads to some fiery experiences. Missoula Smokejumpers is a true series, weaving over a dozen secondary characters throughout. I think you just might fall in love with Stoker, Landen, Garcia, Riker, Boone, Sawyer and Antonio.
Look for a holiday piece, Embracing the Quiet Night, releasing on December 14th. And don't worry, the Christmas celebration of love, hope and utter romance can be read as a stand alone.
An elite core of smokejumpers nestled in the heart of Missoula, Montana.
Publisher's Note: This adult, action adventure romance offers suspense, danger, mystery, explicit scenes and power exchange elements. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase.
She has several releases from Blushing Books including Truth or Dare, His Demands – Dirty Little Secrets, Submissive For Hire, His Hidden Girl – Dirty Little Secrets, Becoming – Power Exchange and the Rescue Me Series, Maverick and Shadow. Her upcoming release, Burn, is book one in the Fire Devil Series.
I love the cover and book sounds great.
I love the cover! This sounds like a great read!
This sounds like could it could be intense mixed with sexiness!
A great post. It takes some kind of courage to be a smoke jumper. Sounds very interesting. Thanks.

Nobuyuki Tanaka
Primordial Memories
The craft of traditional Japanese lacquer finishing in contemporary art
In his extraordinary sculptures, Nobuyuki Tanaka (b. 1971 in Tokyo) combines a lacquer finishing that has been practiced in Japan for centuries with an organic formal language. Tanaka is considered the most important representative and pioneer of the use of lacquer in contemporary art. He uses the material in polished deep black or intense red as a multi-layer coating for large-format sculptures. This results in abstract works with lively, curved, glossy surfaces in which the multi-faceted effect created by the interplay with changing light conditions plays a key role. The lavishly illustrated book includes texts by Britta E. Buhlmann, Beatrice Kromp, Antje Papist-Matsuo, Annette Reich, Atsuhiko Shima, and Nobuyuki Tanaka.

Otto Dix in Baden-Württemberg
Seven Museums Jointly Present the World's Largest Collection of Works by the Famous German Painter.
In 1933, after the loss of his professorship in Dresden and mounting defamation by the National Socialists, Otto Dix (b. 1891, Untermhaus; d. 1969, Singen) retired to Lake Constance, where he lived for more than thirty years. Together, seven museums in the state of Baden-Württemberg — including the museum in his former home in Hemmenhofen — have the world's most comprehensive collection of his works at their disposal, providing insight into all facets of his creative work: from the social criticism of the major works, at times depicted with brutal verism, to the old masterly glaze painting of his inner emigration and the expressive alla prima paintings of the late years. For the first time ever, this treasure trove is presented in one volume.
The participating museums: Kunstmuseum Albstadt, Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen, Museum Haus Dix, Gaienhofen-Hemmenhofen, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Kunstmuseum Singen, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.

Billy Al Bengston
Paintings & Watercolors
The First Monograph on the Californian Pop Artist Since More Than Thirty Years
Billy Al Bengston (b. 1934, Dodge City; lives and works in Venice, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii) is the very personification of the cheerful, carefree attitude towards life in California – with his work as well as his person: a former surfer and motorcycle racer, an extravagant artist and key figure of West Coast Pop Art. After studying at the California College of Arts and Crafts and the Otis Art Institute, he exhibited at the legendary Ferus Gallery in 1957 and was the central figure among a group of artists that included Frank Gehry, Edward Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, and Ken Price. BAB, as he apostrophizes himself, inserts car and motorcycle parts as motifs into his otherwise abstract paintings, using lacquer and spray paint instead of oil, and aluminum panels with at times dented surfaces instead of the traditional canvas.

The First Comprehensive Overview of the Work of the Photo Artist from 1972 to the Present Day
Ralf Cohen (b. 1949, Solingen; lives and works in Karlsruhe) makes use of the entire material complex of photographic image production for his own creative purposes. He works exclusively with analog processes and explores the limits of the medium with a variety of experiments in the darkroom, altering his photographs through solarization, long-term exposure, light/dark reversal, chromatic filtering, and further manual processing. This comprehensive volume presents Cohen's works, from the high-contrast black-and-white architectural photographs of the early period and the work groups of people in cities from the late 1980s to the latest photographic series with their enigmatic light effects, seemingly glowing planetary surfaces, hails of stars, and fantastical islands. Ralf Cohen's fascinating cosmos of imagery breaks viewing habits and, with his imaginary universes, opens up a new perception of the world.
On Memories and Temporalities
Pensive Images examines the complex and invariably singular relationships through which images and memories are inextricably linked. The book relates to the work of the German writer W. G. Sebald (b. 1944, Wertach; d. 2011, Norfolk), especially to four fictional stories he published between 1990 and 2001, in which he inserted non-captioned blackand- white photographs of uncertain provenance and nature into the text like memories punctuating ways reminiscent of his writing. It brings together 16 artists who, in ways reminiscent of Sebald's approach, explored the realms of memory and past from the perspective of experience and intertwining temporalities.
With works by Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Dove Allouche, Lonnie van Brummelen / Siebren de Haan, Moyra Davey, Tacita Dean, Jason Dodge, Félix González-Torres, Ian Kiaer, Jochen Lempert, Zoe Leonard, Helen Mirra, Dominique Petitgand, John Stezaker, Danh Vo and Tris Vonna-Michell.
Clarity, Complexity, and Linearity
The defining artistic means in the work of Karlheinz Bux (b. 1952 in Ulm, lives and works in Karlsruhe) is the line. As edges and folds, they determine vertically oriented sculptures, which simultaneously convey compactness and openness, dynamism and repose. In Bux's pencil drawings and photo-based works, they form the subject of the image in the form of complex linear structures. This present book documents the artist's large-format works and provides insight into his oeuvre, with texts by Michael Hübl, Christine Reeh-Peters, and Carmela Thiele.
Karlheinz Bux studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and taught as a lecturer at Pforzheim University and as a visiting professor at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. His works are represented in private and public collections, including the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, the Hurrle Collection, and the Würth Collection.

Many Suboxone Prescribers Are Not Treating Enough Patients in Need, Study Says
By John Lavitt 09/26/16
The study also found that the average length of treatment among doctors who do utilize medication-assisted treatment was only 53 days.
A recent Rand Corporation study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) revealed that the biggest barrier to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder may be an unwillingness among doctors to treat more patients.
As reported by NPR, the study found that many buprenorphine and Suboxone prescribers are treating well below current legal patient limits.
Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) is the drug at the center of the federal government's push to address the national opioid epidemic. In the United States, buprenorphine and Suboxone can only be prescribed by doctors that have successfully completed an eight-hour course and obtained a waiver from the Drug Enforcement Administration. After completing these requirements, doctors can treat up to 30 patients at a time during the first year.
After a year of experience with the drug, the patient limit rises to 100, if requested by the physician. In July, the patient limit was increased to 275 by the federal government, due to the national extent of the opioid problem and the need for greater access. Despite this, however, prescribers have generally not followed suit.
The researchers examined a database of pharmacy retail transactions from more than 80% of pharmacies nationwide. They analyzed 3,234 buprenorphine prescribers along with the 245,016 patients receiving a new prescription of buprenorphine.
The belief among policymakers was that by increasing the patient limit, doctors would treat more patients, and more people would have access to MAT. This outcome, however, has not been the case.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at pharmacy records from seven states that presently have the most doctors approved to prescribe buprenorphine and Suboxone. The results showed that prescribers on the whole are choosing to treat fewer patients than allowed.
Overall, the median number of patients the approved prescribers chose to treat each month was 13. Only 20% treated between 31 to 75 patients. Close to 50% of the doctors treated four to 30 patients with an incredible 22% treating less than four patients at a time.
"We were really surprised," Dr. Bradley Stein, lead author of the study, told NPR. "We found that only about 10% of doctors were what we would call heavy prescribers, with more than 75 patients a month … This really brought home for us the need for multiple approaches, so doctors are willing and able to prescribe buprenorphine."
MAT patients are also being prescribed buprenorphine/Suboxone for a shorter duration than expected. The median treatment period of such patients was just about two months (53 days). The clinical recommendations of maintenance treatment is up to 12 months, the study noted.
Dr. Stein believes that new approaches must be taken in order to effectively address the national opioid epidemic.
"People can recover," he told NPR. "They go on to live incredibly productive lives. And we want to have the high-quality treatment to get them there."

"NPP National Executives Choping Without Me"
Posted on February 28, 2018 by Josephine Nettey in Headlines
Obiri Boahen Cries On Secret Tape….
..Reveals Gov't Contracts Being Shared At Party Headquarters &John Boadu's Long-Held Selfishness
Details of an audio recording of the Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen , reveals how national executives of the party, have sidelined him in the sharing of the spoils of war after a hard fought political victory.
The NPP Deputy General Secretary, has been captured lamenting, how he is being treated by the party, despite his selfless services since 1992.
He alleges that, some leading members of the party are busily grabbing, while some of them who toiled for its victory, have been left to their fate, revealing that he has not been given a vehicle as a party official.
He specifically cited how the Presidency gave the party GH¢50 billion for its extraordinary National Delegates Conference in Cape Coast, last year, but he only got a paltry GH¢5,000, as a member of the resolution committee out of the GH¢50 billion.
He further mentioned the acting NPP General Secretary, John Boadu and accused him of selfishness, saying he is a glutton.
He suggested that, government contracts were being shared at the NPP national headquarters, however, John Boadu, who is in-charge of sharing, has left him hungry, having sidelined him in the sharing.
"John Boadu has never called me to say there is a contract at the headquarters so bring a paper and claim it. It has never happened so I am quiet and watching", he revealed.
John Boadu,, has always had problem with given. According to party folks and close pals of his at KorleGono,Mamprobi and Korle Bu and its environs, "John is a selfish person".
ObiriBoahen insists, "when we were going to Cape Coast the other time, I was given GH¢3,000 as a member of the Resolution Committee and an additional GH¢2,000 for fuel. Meanwhile, the Flagstaff House gave the party an amount of GH¢50 billion".
The NPP held its National Delegates Conference at Cape Coast in August last year, at which various proposals, were made for amendments to the party's constitution.
The private legal practitioner claims, he uses and fuels his own vehicle, but have decided to keep mute because the current crop of party leaders, have refused to see a reason to remunerate him to carry on party activities.
"As the Deputy General Secretary of the party, NPP has been in power for 11 months they have neither given me a car nor fuel same. I use my own car and buy my own fuel. Recently when I travelled to Spain, they paid for my flight ticket. During a similar trip to Germany, someone paid for my ticket. I have no office of my own and I am not entitled to my salary", he alleged invoking the wrath of several deities if he lied.
Nana Obiri Boahen, said as a member of the resolution committee during its Extraordinary Conference in Cape Coast last year, he only received GHC5,000, out of GHC5 million that was raised for the event.
He alleged that, what is currently happening in the party is "grabbing grabbing" in the wake no single vehicle at the party's headquarters for official duties.
"No Minister, DCE, MCE has called for any contract. What is happening is grabbing grabbing", he claimed.
According to him, he has suffered for the party since 1992 and even attends court proceedings for JB Danquah Adu, without any support from the Acting National Chairman or Secretary, because they do not appear to care.
He bemoaned the fact that, the party has no official vehicle in the wake of these huge sums being sunk into the party and its activities.
"If a visitor arrives at Kotoka right now and needs to be picked up, we have no car to pick that person, because there are no vehicles at the party headquarters.
The private legal practitioner claimed he uses his own resources in carrying out activities for the party stating that in some cases he offers his services for free for the party and does not receive anything for his effort; citing the trial of suspects of J.B Danquah Adu as an example.
Meanwhile, Obiri Boahen admitted to making those statements but added he deliberately 'manufactured some lies' to get information from the other person alleged to be one "Kweku Skirt" who was engaged in a conversation with him.
In an interview with www.ghanaweb.com, Obiri Boahen suggested that he doubted the character of the individual he was conversing with, the reason for which he divulged such false information.
The 'under fire' Deputy General Secretary of the NPP alleged Kweku Skirt deliberately recorded their conversation for mischievous purposes and accused him of blackmailing him by threatening to release the audio should he fail to pay him some huge amount of money.
The outspoken member of the NPP said he took the consequence of releasing the audio for granted because he was confident all he let out were lies and wasn't bothered at all if Kweku Skirt released the audio to some media houses.
"He told me that the conversation he had with me he had recorded the whole thing and that if I don't get him money he will play it to the public. Are you listening? Then I told him that I am sorry I can't get him money because what I told him that what I told him a lot of them were fabrications because when we were discussing it dawned on me that he was not a trustworthy character but in order to get more information I just pretended. So he said I should get him some money then I said look I am not getting any money for him. He is at liberty to send it to everybody in this world. Then he said he will send the recording to some NDC media stations then I said I was not going to get you money because what I did was intentionally done to solicit more information from you" he narrated.
He, however, said he wouldn't retaliate by disclosing to the public some vital information presented by Kweku Skirt because "he is not a credible character"
Buttressing his point, ObiriBoahen referenced staunch NDC supporter and a Mahama die hard, Appiah Stadium and General Secretary of NPP as two individuals who affirmed the dubious nature of Kweku Skirt.

11 February will be a day of protest in Europe against the controversial ACTA treaty

With calls to fight the controversial SOPA and PIPA bills in the US — which Google, Wikipedia and other technology giants moved to campaign against — proving a success, similar calls are being made to rally against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trademark Agreement (ACTA) in Europe, by joining a day of protest.
Access, an organisation that says it is a "new global movement for digital freedom", is helping to mobilise people to join an international day against ACTA on February 11, hoping the world comes out in "an unprecedented showing of solidarity" against the treaty.
It writes:
Protests are being organized all over the globe to show the European Parliament that they must reject ACTA. Though many countries have signed the treaty already, if the EP rejects ACTA, it will be sent into the dustbin on history!
On January 26, twenty-two European Union states, and the EU itself, signed the controversial treaty. At a ceremony in Tokyo, the UK, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden all agreed to adopt ACTA.
ACTA is a voluntary agreement between nations that covers a wide range of counterfeit goods, both physical and digital. It's feared that the agreement would make ISPs liable for copyright infringements carried out on their networks, leading to them to introduce surveillance technology to keep tabs on their customers' online activity. A 'Three strikes' policy would also be forced upon Internet users, blacklisting them from ISPs after a series of warnings if they were found to have shared files illegally.
Access already seen 331,976 people sign its Anti-ACTA petition and has gone one step further to assist in notifying its website visitors of protest events in their local area. The organisation has begun listing Facebook events for each protest around the world, motioning for individuals to create their own and request for them to be added to the list.
ACTA isn't a done deal yet – it still needs to be ratified by the countries that have joined, something that's not expected in the EU for several months.

Home > Chicken import shake-up looms
Published:Friday | December 11, 2020 | 12:13 AMChristopher Serju/Senior Gleaner Writer [1]
Jamaica's chicken-meat import policy may be overhauled to concentrate licences in the hands of local poultry producers, as a cure to perceived systemic corruption that has dogged the trade, Prime Minister Andrew Holness has said.
The proposed fix comes in the wake of a damning report by the Integrity Commission that hinted at lack of transparency and an award process that was compromised and uncompetitive. Some traders had also blended in premium parts with chicken neck and back to avoid duty.
In the first forthright comment by his administration on the issue, Holness argued that Jamaica's import policy ought to be driven by shortfalls in local production, but he believes that twinning the capacity to produce chicken meat with the power to import was perhaps a more viable model going forward.
That proposal could draw ire from vested interests that import more than US$25 million in chicken neck and back annually.
Traders have often leaned hard on agriculture ministers to relent on licences – Karl Samuda said in 2016 that he had never been under more pressure than by chicken meat importers – pushing back when administrations try to close the spigot.
The prime minister said candidly on Thursday that his recommendation would be "incentive-compatible" – meaning producer interests with permits would be less inclined to undercut their operations.
"We should make sure that we have our local people tied into the local value chain here, so that there is a vested interest in keeping our output high. ... We have to examine this as a strategy, we have to examine the entire system," said Holness at the official launch of the Southern Plains Agricultural Development Project, where he delivered the keynote address.
The prime minister acknowledged that the remodelling of the chicken-meat import policy would chafe stakeholders who believe that the Government may be caving in to the Big Two producers – Jamaica Broilers and Caribbean Broilers – as well as other forces advocating protectionism.
"We know it is a complicated issue (and) many businesses are built on it. It is not something that you can, overnight, by fiat of the pen, change," Holness said.
"... This is not something that the Government is comfortable with, and we are looking into it to find ways to make changes that are not going to be disruptive, but changes that will be beneficial to all."
Holness said he expects Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Floyd Green to make a presentation to Cabinet next Monday.
GREEN BREAKS SILENCE
Green has noticeably been silently since the report's tabling on Tuesday, declining comment when pressed by The Gleaner at a supplies handover ceremony in Old Harbour Bay on Wednesday.
But he broke his silence on Thursday, though issuing a dry statement that was thin on detail.
"The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries is reviewing a report tabled by the Integrity Commission in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 concerning the importation of chicken back and neck.
"The report spans the time period 2005-2015 and, as such, an evaluation and assessment of past and current practices will be carried out," the statement read.
Holness said that the coronavirus pandemic presented what could have been "an epiphenomenal event that totally disrupted our supply chain, such that we could not provide a staple protein for Jamaica".
Supplies of chicken meat ran short of demand by mid-year, but that gap has closed with the ramping up of production.
