Ісмат Чугтаї (,  15 серпня 1915, Бадаюн, Британська Індія —  24 жовтня 1991, Мумбаї, Індія) — індійська письменниця урду, що відома своїм неприборканим духом і запеклою феміністською ідеологією. Її називають великою дамою літератури урду, так як вона була одним з чотирьох стовпів сучасної літератури урду (решта троє — Саадат Хасан Манто, Крішан Чандар і Раджиндер Сінх Беді). Вона досліджувала жіночу сексуальність, аристократизм середнього класу країни, що розвивається, та інші конфлікти в сучасній Індії. Її відвертий і суперечливий стиль письма зробили її джерелом натхнення для наступного покоління письменників та інтелігенції.

Біографія
Вона народилася у місті Бадаюн, що знаходиться у сучасному штаті Уттар-Прадеш, проте виросла, в основному, в Джодхпурі, де її батько працював державним службовцем. Вона була дев'ятою з десяти дітей (шість братів, чотири сестри), і так як її старші сестри вийшли заміж коли Ісмат була дуже молодою, тому її дитинство пройшло в компанії братів. Це фактор, який, в значній мірі, вплинув на відвертість її характеру і письмового стилю. Її брат, Мірза Азім Бег Чугтаї, що був вже сформованим письменником, був її першим учителем і наставником.

Освіту Ісмат отримала у Жіночому коледжі при Алігархському мусульманському університеті. У 1936 році, отримавши ступінь бакалавра, вона взяла участь в першому засіданні Асоціації прогресивних письменників в Лакхнау. Згодом, на додаток до ступеня бакалавра BA, вона отримала ступінь BEd (ступінь бакалавра в галузі освіти), ставши таким чином першою індійською мусульманкою, що отримала обидва ступені.

У 1941 році вона вийшла заміж за сценариста і режисера Шахіда Латіфа, який зняв такі фільми, як «Зідді» (1948) і «Арзу» (1950).

Судовий процес, що відбувся у 1945 році, сам по собі привернув велику увагу ЗМІ та громадськості і приніс дуету недобру славу. Чугтай мала кращу репутацію в очах громадськості, заручившись підтримкою таких колег по Руху прогресивних письменників, як Маджнун Горакхпурі та Крішан Чандер. Незважаючи на це, вона ненавиділа висвітлення цього інциденту в ЗМІ, яке, на її думку, сильно вплинуло на її подальшу роботу: "[Ліхааф] приніс мені стільки недоброї слави, що я втомилася від життя. Це стало тією палицею, якою мене били, і все, що я писала після цього, було розчавлене під її вагою".

У них народилося дві дочки. Латіф помер в 1967 році.

 1975: Filmfare Best Story Award: Garam Hawa (з Каїфі Азмі)

Літературне життя
Оповідання Чугтаї відображають культурну спадщину регіону, у якому вона жила. Це особливо помітно в її розповіді «Священний обов'язок», де вона має справу із соціальним тиском в Індії, маючи на увазі певні національні, релігійні та культурні традиції.

Чугтаї була ліберальною мусульманкою, чия дочка і племінник були одружені з індуїстами. За її власними словами, вона походила з родини «індуїстів, мусульман і християн, які жили мирно». Вона говорила, що читала не тільки Коран, а й Гіту і Біблію.

У період найбільшого успіху, багато її робіт були заборонені в Південній Азії через їх реформістський і феміністський зміст, що заперечував ісламістські консервативні традиції (наприклад, на її думку, що головний убір нікаб, пригнічує права жінок і є лише феодальною традицією). Зараз її книги заборонені в ісламських країнах, таких як Пакистан і Бангладеш, на тій підставі, що її твори, які виступають за реформи в мусульманському суспільстві є «анти-мусульманськими».

«Ліхааф»
Найвідомішою розповіддю Чугтаї є «Ліхааф» («Ковдра»), що опублікована в 1942 році в літературному журналі урду Адаб-і-Латіф. Зі звинуваченнями в непристойності Ісмат була викликана в суд у Лахорі в 1944 році, адже у творі вона розповідає про гомосексуальність у місті Алігарх. Чугтаї вирішила оскаржити це звинувачення, замість того, щоб вибачитися і виграла справу в суді. Її адвокат доказав, що не було ніяких конкретних посилань на гомоеротизм. Багато гнівних листів були направлені до редакції журналу, що звинувачують оповідання у богохульстві.

Смерть

Ісмат Чугтаї померла в Мумбаї 24 жовтня 1991 року і була кремована в крематорії Чанданваді за її власним бажанням.

Willie Nelson is making Petie proud!! He did his first hospital visit on May 15, 2018 and amazed all of us with his performance. He is now making regular visits to Akron Children's and Rainbow Babies Hospitals. We are all so amazed with how quickly he figured it all out, from walking up the stairs, entering the revolving doors, riding in the elevator and patiently standing for every child he meets. He is bringing smiles to everyone he visits.
"Sue Miller knew no horse could replace the beloved Petie the Pony.
But Miller, co-owner of Victory Gallop in Bath and one of Petie's three handlers, knew she needed to find a new pony to bring therapeutic healing and joy to children at local hospitals"
Petie gained national attention as the first horse to be allowed access to visit patients in a hospital in the United States.
He also drew a fan base of adoring patients, families and staffers in and outside the hospitals. When Petie developed cancer and had to be euthanized in September, more than 150 people came to a memorial service and open house at Victory Gallop.
"I was on the internet and was Googling ponies," Miller recalled. "My first reaction was just the name, Willie Nelson. I thought it was cute.
"The song — On the Road Again — it was playing and as it was playing, his little ears started showing up and then this little guy starts coming. He was pulling a wagon.
Miller called his owner in Colorado, who had bought the 7-year-old pony for his grandkids to ride in the summers. Before that, he had been with an Amish family.
Miller, her Victory Gallop co-director Kim Gustely and Petie's main handler, Toril Simon, gave Willie time to chill at the farm once he arrived in October. They wanted him to get used to the other horses and dogs that live there. Slowly, they started training him, including taking him into Miller's house on the property and banging pots and cabinets in the kitchen to make sure he wouldn't get spooked. They also took him on field trips, including to pet stores, a nursing home and one quick trip to the hospital, where he rode the elevator.
On a recent day, I watched as handlers tried a training session for the first time in two months.
They took him into the farm's activities room, where Simon led him around a table while Miller, carrying a bucket in case he needed to go to the bathroom, also banged chairs around him and bumped into him.
"We want this to be no big deal. He's going to sometimes be in a room that's confined," Miller said.
Nothing fazed Willie. Simon reclined on a bench to mimic being in a hospital bed. Willie stayed near her, letting her stroke his head.
When they were in the farm's offices, Miller explained that by Willie turning his head to sniff a dog bed next to a chair with Simon in it, he showed he wasn't completely focused on her.
"Kids are going to come at him fast. They're going to poke. I don't want him to be like 'Oh, my gosh,' " Miller said.
They also took him into Miller's kitchen, walking him around the island, banging doors, turning on faucets. This time, he stayed focused.
On another training day, Willie headed to the Pets Pajamas in the Montrose area of Bath. As soon as he walked in, he was met by 7-year-old Elise Helms, who was visiting the pet store with her mom, Leslie.
Willie didn't mind the cramped store quarters, or Elise or another toddler petting him while dogs were barking nearby and a blow-dryer from the grooming area was going.
His trainers were happy with his progress. The last time he visited the store, he didn't want to go in the front door and seemed more anxious to leave.
As he was preparing to leave, Mary Rood and her adult daughter, Tess, came in. Tess had told her mom, "There's a pony in there" as they approached the store.
"Is he being trained to take Petie's place?" Mary Rood asked Miller.
"He is! He's hopefully going to be the next Petie," Miller replied.
They don't want Willie Nelson to panic when he's in a hospital room, which could cause injury to him or a patient if his foot hits a machine.
At the end of the visit to Pets Pajamas, Miller said Willie Nelson is ready.
Patients and staff at the hospital can't wait to meet Willie, said Vicki Parisi, director of volunteer and visitor services at Akron Children's.
Parisi, who hasn't met Willie yet, thinks he will come in and bring joy and smiles, just like Petie.
Miller hopes to have Willie make his first short visit to the hospital in late April — and we'll be there to follow along. If it goes well, they will move to more regular visits. They hope to add visits to Rainbow in the summer.


Having graduated from the masterclass of the great Hungarian teacher Bela Katona at Trinity College of Music, Nic joined the first violins of the Northern Sinfonia in 1980. He left in 1988 in order to pursue a wider range of musical interests and activities.
During his time in Newcastle-upon-Tyne Nic formed a string quartet, which most notably performed Ginastera's String Quartet no.1 with Northern Dance Theatre on Tyne Tees TV; and Terzetto, a trio for two violins and viola which recorded the Rhapsody by Frank Bridge for BBC Radio 3.
Since 1988 Nic has had a wealth of experience both orchestrally and in chamber music.
He is co-leader of sinfonia ViVA (formerly East of England Orchestra) and with them has performed Baroque double concertos with Peter Cropper and the double concertos of Schnittke and Malcolm Arnold. He is frequently called upon to lead.
He was co-leader of the English String Orchestra from 1988 until 1992 and appeared with them as soloist in Bach and Mozart violin concertos as well as leading and solo-directing for a number of concerts.
Nic was leader of the Orchestra of the Swan in its early years and at various times has been a guest leader with many orchestras including the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Welsh Chamber Orchestra and Northern Chamber Orchestra.


Anyone Seen the Van Key?
Assuming one of you had picked it up and walked off with it, we tore the house apart, looking in every nook and cranny we could find. Grandpa walked the yard and scoured the mulch pile where you'd spent most of the morning. Grandma tore into the couch where I first sat down when we got there. We searched pockets and purses, boxes and beds. I'm pretty sure someone even tore into the trash in hopes of finding it. There was seemingly no where we hadn't looked…no stone left unturned. I actually gave up, resigned to the fact that it was most likely lost forever. I'd already started conjuring up a plan B, planning how to get home without it.
What we were faced with is indicative of an issue you're going to have to face someday. The older I get, the worse my memory gets. I can have a conversation and forget it within a few hours…I can set something down somewhere and within minutes not know where I put it. There are full years of my life that have passed by, leaving me few memories…if any. Much of my youth is but a blur to me by now. Trust me when I say it's as frustrating to me as it ever will be to you. Your mom has graciously resigned herself to accepting it, and been amazing with her forgiveness of me in this. As you grow, I don't anticipate that this problem of mine will improve. By the time you're teenagers and young adults, you'll have realized that I have a problem. And it's now that I ask for your forgiveness of my short-term memory loss. Please know that if there is only one thing I could change about myself, this would be it. I really do want to remember more. One day you'll understand that it truly is more frustrating for me than it ever will be for you. It's not easy to come to terms with your own mortality.
Finding yourself three hours from home without a key to the van is not really a place you'd expect to find any humor. And yet as frustrated as I was standing there in front of the bathroom mirror, I couldn't help but laugh as I stared at the man looking back on me. Thirty minutes of frustrated searching later, it hit me. Did I put it in my back pocket? Surely not! Why on Earth would I do that? And as I reached back into that pocket to find one single, solitary key to the van, I couldn't help but laugh. I hope that one day in your frustration with my memory loss, you too can look back and laugh every once in awhile…at the realization that dad probably didn't even know he had the key all along.

Bundesliga Match Preview: Injury-Riddled Borussia Dortmund Host Arminia Bielefeld
BVB look to narrow the Bundesliga gap to 7 points, with a game in hand.
By Sean Keyser Mar 12, 2022, 11:23am PST
Share All sharing options for: Bundesliga Match Preview: Injury-Riddled Borussia Dortmund Host Arminia Bielefeld
If you thought, like me, that Borussia Dortmund had nothing left to play for this season, then you may
Despite all the pessimism, injuries, and depressing defeats in various competitions that BVB have suffered over the past few months, they are still ten only ten points behind Bayern Munich with two games in hand. If they win their next two games... and that's a big if... they will only be four points back, with eight games remaining in the league, a gap that is, at least theoretically, more than vulnerable, especially considering the two clubs have one more match to play against each other.
The issue is that, BVB have proven that there is no such thing as a "guaranteed win," even against a relegation candidate like Arminia Bielefeld, who have the worst offensive record in the Bundesliga. Even Bielefeld, who have averaged less than a goal per game this season, must be salivating at the thought of facing BVB tomorrow.
We've complained endlessly about the constant barrage of injuries that BVB have had to deal with, but I suspect this may actually be the worst it's been all season. Not a single member of Dortmund's ideal back line will be available, with each of Thomas Meunier, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, and Raphael Guerreiro either injured or infected with COVID. Marco Reus also now has COVID, so he won't play. Gio Reyna and Erling Haaland both missed training yesterday, and even though Ruhr Nachrichten says they might be able to make the squad, I wouldn't count on it.
So who does that even leave to take the pitch? Reinier? I guess so:
Oof
That back line does not inspire confidence. At all. The most trustworthy player, by a wide margin, is Marius Wolf, which says much more about the other three players than it does about Wolf. The attack is a bit more respectable, and should Haaland and Reyna miraculously be ready to play, it could still be quite lethal. If this is the squad, then Reinier might finally get the significant minutes he's been waiting for for ~2 years.
This is a squad that would probably finish around 8th in the Bundesliga, and it is the best guess for a squad that, if it wins its next two games, could theoretically pull within four points of Bayern Munich at the top of the table. No pressure!
This is a match that BVB need to win; therefore they won't, especially not with that back line. 2-2.

In addition to the Soccer Ability – it is the Code of Conduct that is what guarantee's the recruit's success.
Maturity Projects Value
Code of Conduct is projecting maturity because maturity projects value. When a mature person is organized and is disciplined enough to stick with a plan that also projects value. When a mature person is organized with a work ethic there is nothing stopping them…. Coaches, Athletic Directors, and future investors in your education have a keen eye out for people like this….
We found our most successful recruits demonstrate principles, values, standards, or rules of behaviour that guided their decisions, procedures in a way that (a) contributed to the welfare of the teams they wanted to play for and (b) respected the time and efforts of the organizations that wanted to recruit players like them.
Most often seen in the Captain of a Team the Mature individual sees a bigger picture of the world around them – this is called cognitive ability. Not only can they read the game of soccer but they envision a path for themselves by making a plan. They also understand the feeilings – hopes and dreams of others – and work on bettering themselves and the lives ot others through their conduct. By always looking for the good in others and being respectful to all the people they create a reputation as being an individual that can be counted on.
A Mature person organizes their life with two major principles – ridding themselves of wasted time – and maximizing their efficiency while they are working toward a goal. Trying to cut out wasted time is often difficult when a person has so many distractions in a modern life – however a mature person organizes the distractions to fit their own schedule. Maximizing a mature persons efficiency refers to setting up a routine of everyday life that fits an overall plan for the years required to obtain a certain goal.
Drive (Work Ethic)
Drive is defined asa planned effort to achieve something ( Cambridge Dictionary).It really is focussed work ethic that is transfixed on a specific goal.Drive will push out of the way self doubts and intensify the seriousness of the satisfaction gained from achieving whatever is needed to be achieved. Mature people do this humbly and take time to appreciate those who help them.

Will the Trading Range Break to the Up- or Downside?
By Simon Maierhofer | October 01, 2010 at 01:09 PM
Over the past few months, the stock market's performance has been making investors sick as expectations from both bulls and bears go unfulfilled.
Thousands of years ago, King Solomon stated: "Expectation postponed is making the heart sick."
Over the past few months, the stock market's performance has been making investors sick as expectations from both bulls and bears go unfulfilled. The S&P 500 (SPY) has been stuck within the 1,040 to 1,130 trading range.
On the upside, the S&P has failed twice to stay above the 200-day moving average. On the downside, except for the July 1 low of 1,011, the S&P has found support around 1,040 on six separate occasions. The same general pattern has also emerged with the Dow Industrials and the Nasdaq Composite.
Let's evaluate the evidence for both the bullish and bearish cases.
The Bullish Case
Reason #1: Stocks will rally due to the election-year cycle.
It is generally believed that the government won't allow the stock market to fall before the November 2010 elections to the U.S. Senate.
According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, the sweet spot of the four-year presidential term begins in the fourth quarter of the mid-term year (2010), and carries into the second quarter of the pre-election year (2011), with an average gain of 15% since 1950.
Contrary to the above pattern, the months of October, November and December have seen some of the biggest declines in the past decade. The last serious mid-term election year declines were seen in 2002 (-16.8%), 1974 (-27.6%) and 1930 (-33.8%).
The 1930 decline deserves a second look for a number of reasons. Following the initial 1929 meltdown, the Dow rallied 50% into the highs of April 16, 1930. Following a period of range-bound trading, stocks sold off sharply after September 10, 1930.
The rally into the April highs turned out to be the biggest sucker rally in history. Range-bound trading over the next few months gave investors a few more chances to cut their losses before the hammer dropped.
As a point of reference, stocks topped an April 26, 2010. Following the initial decline, stocks have remained range bound until the present.
Reason # 2: Sentiment is too bearish.
After the worst August since 2001, sentiment was indeed bearish, and investors expected the worst for September as headlines read, "A Cruel Month for Stocks."
Investors were expecting a cruel September, but as usual, the market did the unexpected.
Nevertheless, the supposed bearishness of investors has created the train of thought highlighted in more recent headlines, like: "For Bad-News Bulls, Adversity is Opportunity."
The common reasoning that prices will rise because sentiment is bad certainly seems more bearish than bullish.
Another side point, Triple witching occurred on September 19, 2008. Stocks held up from September 19 to November 21, after which the S&P lost 36%.
The Bearish Case
Reason #1: Stocks will decline given these technical sell signals
The August 12 Hindenburg Omen was probably one of the most publicized sell signals of 2010. It's no surprise that the media's attention jinxed the effect. But postponed is not eliminated.
A lesser-known sell signal was triggered by the volatility index or VIX on September 3. Similar VIX sell signals occurred on January 11 and April 13. The previous sell signals took a few days to play out but ultimately delivered sizeable declines.
On April 16, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted an extremely low put/call ratio of 0.32 and noted the following: "A minority of equity positions are equipped with a put safety net. Once prices do fall and investors do get afraid of incurring losses, the only option is to sell. Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop usually results in rapidly falling prices."
It took several days for this warning sign to play out, but on April 26 stocks topped, and on May 6 (Flash Crash), the results of the extremely low put/call ratio became painfully obvious. On August 23, the put/call ratio dropped to 0.38, the lowest level since April.
Trading volume on the NYSE averaged 880 million shares for the most recent rally leg. The two-year trading volume average is 1.2 billion shares. Conviction in higher prices seems to be weak.
The S&P and other indexes dropped below their respective 200-day moving averages, or MAs, earlier in May, and they have failed to reclaim a spot above that level since then.
Currently, the several key U.S. indexes – the Russell 2000 (IWM), technology sector (XLK), materials sector (XLB), consumer discretionary sector (XLY), consumer staples sector (XLP), industrials (XLI), and utilities (XLU) – and mid-cap stocks are above their 200-day MAs, just as they were in June and August, right before a 10% decline.
Over the past few months, the major indexes have poked above their 200-day MAs no less than three times just to be rejected. The sectors vital to a U.S. economic recovery, financials (XLF) and banks (KBE), trail behind and remain below their 200-day MA. The 50-day MA remains below the 200-day MA.
Reason #2: Stocks will decline given current valuations.
Valuations are the one constant in the investing world. Wall Street has often thought that "this time is different." Traders and investors believed that old valuations didn't apply to tech stocks in 2000, real estate in 2005 and financial stocks in 2007.
The market obviously doesn't care what Wall Street thinks. Sooner or later, stocks always revert back to their mean or fair valuations. At major market bottoms, stocks commonly trade even below fair value.
A look at the readings of various valuation metrics – such as dividend yields and P/E ratios – reached during prior historic market bottoms reveals where fair valuations lie and provides a guideline of how far stocks would have to fall to reach fair value once again (a detailed analysis is available in the November 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter).
How to Navigate the Market
After weighing the bullish and bearish arguments, investors would do well to follow the odds or stay on the sidelines until more clarity is reached.
Over the last few months, in fact over the past decade, following the odds has meant doing the opposite of the general consensus, which currently points to higher prices. Even during the recent 1,040–1,130 S&P trading range, forecasts have been bullish at the upper end of the range and bearish at the lower end.
Investors following the trend would have gotten whiplash.

Expectations postponed may make your heart sick, but expectations proven right eventually are well worth the wait.

Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of clarified butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place chicken in skin side down and cook until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side. Remove chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac and cook until completely reduced. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Add the stock and tomato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ("nappe") and then swirl in the butter ("monter au beurre"). Once the butter is added, the sauce can not be further reduced because it will break. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tarragon and chervil.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the breastbone from the breast. Cut each breast into 2 even pieces on the bias. Cut the legs into 2 pieces at the joint and on the bias and remove the thighbones. Serve 1 leg piece and 1 breast piece. Make sure only 1 piece contains a bone. Serve on hot plates, napped with the sauce.


Another night and I find myself unable to sleep because I can't stop crying. I know that we are just embarking on the battle but the feeling of hopelessness sometimes is just too overwhelming. Its hard to stay positive when things just seem to continue to decline. I know that I need to take the lead and set the tone for the rest of the family but really it's almost too much to bear. We have a grandchild on the way and it should be the best and happiest of times for my daughter as she expects her first child, but it isn't. We are all painfully aware that there is a giant clock ticking someplace and at some point it will just run out — and then we have nothing. We will have each other, but we will be missing one of the most important pieces.

NY hospitals, schools fear staff shortage from vaccine rules
in: Science & Health
NEW YORK — Some of the nation's most aggressive COVID-19 vaccine mandates are scheduled to take effect Monday in New York amid continued resistance from some to the shots, leaving hospitals and nursing homes across the state and schools in New York City bracing for possible staff shortages.
Many health care workers, including support staff such as cleaners, have still not yet received a required first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine days before a Sept. 27 deadline. That's the same deadline for teachers and school workers in New York City to prove they've received at least one shot.
That left the prospect of potentially thousands of health care workers and teachers being forced off the job next week.
Despite calls from unions and administrators to delay the mandates, Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio showed no signs of backing down.
"Every single person who is in your care has the right to know that there is no chance they will be infected by the person in charge of protecting them and their health," Hochul, a Democrat, said Thursday.
Hospitals and nursing homes were preparing contingency plans that included cutting back on elective surgeries and, at one hospital, halting maternity services. Nursing homes were limiting admissions. The state's largest health care provider, Northwell Health, was keeping thousands of volunteers on standby.
"We would like to see some more time to be able to comply and implement the vaccine mandate, because at the end of the day it's a situation where we're very concerned about our ability to care for the patients," said Tom Quatroche, CEO of the Erie County Medical Center Corporation, which operates a busy 573-bed hospital in Buffalo.
It anticipates that about 10% of its workforce, or 400 staff members, might still be unvaccinated Monday. Under a contingency plan, the hospital said it would suspend elective inpatient surgeries, temporarily stop accepting ICU transfers from other institutions and reduce hours at clinics.
New York is not the only state to require health care workers to get vaccinated. But it has been especially aggressive in pushing for wider vaccinations to help limit the spread of the virus.
The mayor and governor said workers had plenty of time to get the shots. The mandate for state health care workers was announced this summer. New York City announced in July that its teachers would need to either get vaccinated or tested for COVID-19 weekly, but it then revoked the test-out option in August.
While most school workers have been vaccinated, inducing nearly 90% of teachers as of Thursday, unions representing New York City principals and teachers warned that could still leave the 1 million student school system short of as many as 10,000 teachers, along with other staff such as cafeteria workers and school police officers.
Those who don't provide proof of a shot by the end of Monday will not be allowed to return to classrooms Tuesday, which will leave principals scrambling overnight to make sure they have enough substitutes, educators warned.
The unions said that while they've encouraged everyone to get vaccinated, some schools could be dangerously low on staff Tuesday. They pleaded for the mayor to delay the mandate after a judge refused to halt the rule.
"We are concerned. Very, very concerned," United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said.
Mark Cannizzaro, the president of the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators, said some schools have as many as 100 staff members not in compliance.
De Blasio insisted the city was ready.
"We've been planning all along. We have a lot of substitutes ready," the Democrat said in a radio interview on Friday. "A lot is going to happen between now and Monday but beyond that, we are ready, even to the tune of, if we need thousands, we have thousands."
The mandate for health care workers comes as hospitals are already reeling from staff shortages due in part to rising demand, workers retiring and weary employees seeking other jobs after 18 months of the pandemic.
There is one option for health care workers who don't want to get the shot, which is to apply for a religious exemption. That would buy them until at least Oct. 12, while a federal judge considers a legal challenge arguing that such exemptions are constitutionally required.
With time ticking down on the health care mandate, Northwell Health was trying to persuade thousands of holdouts to get vaccinated, including individual meetings with staffers. The system's personnel chief, Maxine Carrington, said they're seeing a lot more appointments being scheduled.
"I've had personal conversations with team members, and I was asked by one: 'Are you really going to fire us on the 27th?' And I said, let's put that aside for a minute and let's talk about saving your life. Why don't you want to get vaccinated?" Carrington said.
She said staff that refuse the inoculations will "no longer be qualified for employment."
As of Thursday, about 90% of Northwell's 74,000 active personnel had been vaccinated. Still, the hospital system acknowledged that it did not expect full compliance and had more than 3,000 retirees, volunteers and health care students on standby, should they be needed.
The University of Rochester Medical Center, in the state's fourth largest city, announced a two-week pause in scheduling new elective procedures at its Strong Memorial Hospital beginning Monday. It also is temporarily closing two urgent care centers.
One wild card is no one knows if a burst of health care workers will simply wait until the last minute to get a jab.
One hopeful sign: New York-Presbyterian, one of the state's largest hospital systems, had imposed an earlier vaccination deadline on its workers — midnight Wednesday — and reported fewer than 250 of its 48,000 staffers had failed to comply.
Spokesperson Alexandra Langan said in an email: "For those who chose not to comply, they will not continue to work at NYP."
New York state has been averaging just under 5,000 new COVID-19 cases per day with around 2,300 people hospitalized. That's far worse than in late June, when around 300 people were testing positive each day statewide.
Hill reported from Albany. Associated Press writer Marina Villeneuve, in Albany, contributed to this report.

Book Review | Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge – The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook
Share the Force:
Carl Roberts December 14, 2019 9 min read
Carl heads to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to sample the culinary delights found within Chelsea Monroe-Cassel's out of this world cookbook
You have to hand it to Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, she's done it again. Not being content with providing us with the 'Firefly: The Big Damn Cookbook', she alongside Marc Sumerak has given us the official cookbook of 'Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge'. Inside its pages, accompanied by glorious photographs of the different dishes by Ted Thomas, we find such culinary intergalactic delights such as Nerf Kebabs, Huttese Slime Pods, Spicy Mandalorian Stew, Mustafarian Lava Buns, Coruscant Cooler and Zoochberry Surprise. Yes indeed, inside the book, we find lashings of Star Wars-themed food and drinks for us all to try to make and enjoy. Seventy recipes await us, tantalising our taste buds with their exotic names and wonderful looks.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge – The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook | By Chelsea Monroe-Cassel
Starting off with an introduction from one of Black Spires many food vendors, Strono Tuggs or 'Cookie' as he's more affectionately known, we are introduced to the many different food outlets that are on offer here on Batuu. Take a seat at Ronto Roasters or saddle up to the bar at Oga's Cantina, its completely your choice. Glorious drawings and information accompanies this wonderful intro, showing the reader that a lot of thought and planning has gone into the history given to us in the book. For the uninitiated, it's a great little tale to bring them up to speed with the outpost and the history of it. For the fans, it's a chance to revel in the facts that have been presented to us and to marvel at the small, intimate details we may have missed before.
Our journey through the delicacies we will encounter in the book is once again broken down into sections. Staring off with Condiments, Sauces and Garnishes, we are given the recipes to make amongst others, Nerfsteak Seasoning, Moogan Spice Syrup, Dagobah Slug Syrup and Nectose Crystals. All are seasonings, sauces or garnishes for the many dishes we will experience throughout the pages. There is a recipe for Saka Salt, in reality just Red Salt and Garam Masala mixed together. Nerfsteak Seasoning is a mixture of Paprika, Salt, Brown Sugar, Ground Cumin, Granulated Garlic, Pepper and crushed, dried savory. All are easy to make with everyday cupboard ingredients and accompany the food to perfection.
We now come across Sides, Starters and Snacks. It is here where we will discover how to make Roasted Kajaka Root, Fritzle Fries, Mon Cala Sardine Fritters and Mashed Chokeroot. Roasted Kajaka Root is basically Sweet Potatoes, Yogurt and Peanut Butter with a few added parts to it. Fritzle Fries are made of Tapioca Pearls, Yogurt and Parmesan cheese mixed with warm water, a pinch of Cayenne Pepper, half a cup of rice flour and oil for frying. 45 minutes of prep, soaking and cooking and its ready. Simple! Mon Cala Sardine Fritters are..well…Sardine Fritters! Prep and cooking time is only 20 minutes until you're sitting down and munching away like Admiral Ackbar after a long day battling the Imperial or First Order Forces. And Mashed Chokeroot is basically mashed Parsnips with heavy cream and other basic ingredients and looks to be a nice little starter before you hit the main cuisines.
We now come to Soups and Stews. Here we have four recipes for us to indulge our cooking skills. We have Rootleaf Stew (Spicy Vegetable Stew), Topato Soup (Chicken Soup with vegetables and spices), Tatooine Terrine (A Tofu based dish with Chicken Broth, Vegetables and Indian spices) and Spicy Mandalorian Stew which I'm sure my brother (A huge Mandalorian fan) will be only too happy to attempt. A chicken Thigh based stew containing vegetables, a red apple, chicken broth and Indian spices, this looks to be a really tasty winter warmer, a dish to sit down with to heat you up after being out in the cold, biting, harsh Hoth winds. All are really easy to make and can be ready within an hour at the most from prep time to serving. Even the young padawans can come home from school and make it for themselves instead of waiting for their parents to arrive home and make it for them. Quick, simple and hearty food.
We now arrive at Bread. The perfect accompaniment to any meal, we have a selection of five different types we can turn our hands to go alongside our soup or stew. Starting with Ronto Wrappers which is like an Indian Naan flatbread, we have the recipe for Polystarch Portion Bread (Unkar Plutt is out of business!), Rey's bread of choice, it won't be ready as quick as in 'The Force Awakens' but will only take 45 seconds cooking time in a microwave oven. It is very simple and easy to make. Five-Blossom Bread, on the other hand, is a sweet bread that will take a few hours to make and it isn't too easy to produce. It sure looks nice but will take a lot of work to make. The same can be said for the Mustafarian Lava Buns. If they are made right, they look like a perfect representation of the planet itself. But once again, the whole making of them is hard but looks worthwhile in at least attempting. Munch-Fungus Loaf though is simpler and looks extremely tasty. A loaf which is reminiscent of a whole grain loaf of bread, this recipe contains mushrooms, soy sauce and red curry paste. It sounds like a perfect loaf to go alongside a stew or soup and I'm tempted to give it a try.
Main Courses are up next for us to attempt. Here we will discover how to make such tasty dishes as Braised Shaak Roast, Ronto Wrap, Nerf Kebabs and Huttese Slime Pods. The Braised Shaak Roast looks so completely amazing and delicious that my mouth started watering just looking at the photograph of it. The dish is basically a Pot Roast Beef Round with Pasta and vegetables, all mixed together with soy sauce and salt and pepper. This isn't a quick dish to make but believe me when I say, it looks completely worth all the time and effort that the dish needs to be put into it. The Ronto wrap makes use of the Ronto Wrappers described in the bread section of the book as it's used to compile a Pork and Chorizo dish that looks tasty. To make the dish, from prep to serving will take less than an hour and would make a nice change for dinner. Nerf Kebabs look hard to make but the book only gives it a medium difficulty. The dish is a ground Bison or Beef skewer mixed in with a bread rope seasoned with Parmesan cheese. It looks amazing but very involved in its making. Huttese Slime Pods sound disgusting but nothing could be further from the truth. In essence, they are Gnocchi mixed with spinach, avocado, cannellini beans and other ingredients to make a great looking pasta dish. Its simple to make and looks like a fulfilling meal by itself.
After all that delicious food, do you have any room for dessert? If you do, the next section will bring us classic galactic desserts such as Bespin Cloud Drops, Mandalorian Uj cake, Keshian Spice Rolls and Nectrose Freeze. Bespin Cloud Drops are in essence homemade meringue with cream of tartar, desert pear syrup or grenadine and light blue food colouring mixed in. The Mandalorian Uj Cake is a fruit and nut cake with a slight bite to it which looks out of this world. Keshian Spice Rolls though are all for me! They are basically Cinnamon rolls with frosting. Sorry but that's my kind of dessert. Or snack. Or whatever! They may take upmost of three hours to make but they yield two dozen with the recipe. That should keep me going for part of the day alongside a large pot of coffee! Nectrose Freeze is Galaxy's Edge's own type of ice cream. A homemade batch of Vanilla ice cream and decorated with items we have the recipes for earlier in the book, this dessert is the perfect end of the meal sweet for all occasions. Zoochberry Surprise is a Mixed berry cheesecake that if my niece, bless her heart, sees this in the book, will be bothering everyone to join her in making it! She is a cheesecake nut and this dessert will certainly tempt her alongside the reader to attempt it. Just don't ask her for a slice of it or you may experience severe injury.
Do you fancy a beverage to go alongside your meal? Here we have a section devoted to drinks you can make to enjoy along with your galactic cuisine. Among the selection, we have Moogan Tea, Coruscant Cooler, Hyperdrive and Bantha Chai. Moogan Tea is started with unsweetened ice tea with added chocolate milk, the Moogan Spice Syrup we learn to make on page 33 and other basic ingredients to make a refreshing non-alcoholic drink. The Coruscant Cooler is where we encounter the first alcoholic drink in the section. A blend of Cranberry juice, Bourbon, lime juice, Sweet Vermouth and dark cherry puree, this looks to be a perfect drink to have alongside your Braised Shaak Roast. Hyperdrive is misleading. You would expect with a name like that to be a strong alcohol-based drink. Not so. This drink is made up of white cranberry or grape juice, blueberry flavoured sports drink, lemon and lime soda and black cherry puree. Rodian Splice though makes up for the lack of alcohol as we blend Coffee Liqueur, Irish Cream Liqueur and either Bourbon or Whiskey to make a tri-coloured concoction. Bantha Chai is perhaps the closest we will get to drink the now-famous blue milk we see in the movies. A non-alcoholic milk-based drink, mixing in Arrowroot Powder, a blue butterfly pea tea bag, thinly sliced ginger root, a pinch of Cardamom, a pinch of ground Mace and sugar to taste, it takes 15 minutes in total to create but, in my opinion, needs to be tried once, just so we can say we have tried the famous blue milk.
We come to the end of our culinary journey with a sheet containing the dietary considerations the reader should pay attention to throughout the book. This page tells us what dishes are Vegetarian, Vegan and gluten-free so we can make an informed choice based on what our families and guests dietary concerns are. We also are given a measurement conversion chart informing us of the differences between the volume, weight and measures of the U.S and the metric system which is extremely handy for people not used to the United States' system.
Once again, Chelsea Monroe-Cassel aided this time around by Marc Sumerak has come up trumps with this enjoyable and exciting cookery book for fans and non-fans alike. Every one of the seventy recipes enclosed inside the pages of the book is a delight. The instructions on how to create these mouth-watering, tasty dishes are extremely easy to follow and the reader can hardly go wrong if they attempt to make one of the galaxies magnificent dishes contained here. Monroe-Cassel has made a good name for herself in bringing the food we see in our favourite films and TV shows to us in these marvellous cookery books and I only hope she continues to enjoy her journey into discovering how to make the delights we have seen on screen. Her research is incredible in its detail and she has to take a bow for bringing us all the food we so desire in such an easy to create and fun way.
Now, if you will excuse me, my order has just been called and I'm looking forward to tucking into a bowl of Fried Endorian Tip-Yip. Sorry? I didn't tell you about that dish? Grab yourself a copy of the book and you'll certainly find out how to make it and what is in it. Then sit back, grab your fork and enjoy!

Q: what if I + what, past tense or present tense? what's the correct tense here:
Is it "the past tense" or "the present tense"?
"What if I miss the bus?"
"What if I were late to dinner?"
"What if I called her tomorrow?"
"What if I don't understand?"

A: You may use either tense depending on the context or on what you want to convey.
You can even use will:

what if you will go

meaning what if you are willing to go.
Note that I didn't use "I": "what if I will go" which is grammatically correct, but illogical, or at least odd since I'm questioning myself if I'm willing to go.

The need for the export sector to focus on certain Key areas such as niche markets and high end value added products, particularly where Sri Lanka has a competitive and comparative advantage as well as greater attention to expand the export of Services where there is potential for Sri Lanka to grow is needed, said Chairperson Exporters Association Nirmalie Samaratunga at the AGM of the Exporters Association.
She said that IT and the Software Sector including Business Process Outsourcing is one sector that has performed well despite the global downturn. Sri Lanka is now among the top ten countries in the world and therefore rather than trying to compete with India and similar players at the lower end of the market, the strategy should be, to identify the niche markets where the country has strengths, and move towards Knowledge Process Outsourcing, and concentrate on developing the areas such as accountancy and healthcare. This is also a sector which has one of the highest value addition, whilst having the potential to become a Billion Dollar Industry for Sri Lanka.
Another key area to be developed is the agro industry, where Sri Lanka needs to focus on indigenous crops with export potential such as passion fruit, pineapple, banana and mango, where Sri Lanka has a comparative advantage, and a growing market overseas. In this field, Sri Lankan Exporters can enter into partnerships with rural farmers, and make maximum use of these opportunities.
There is a growing demand for Organic Agricultural Products therefore it needs to be developed as this Sector can be a significant player in global markets.
Looking more closely at our Regional Markets is another strategy. Despite the Global downturn and recession in our traditional markets of Europe, USA and Japan, we have two giants, India and China whose economies, seem to be showing greater resilience and are recovering much faster than the rest of the world. It is necessary for our exporters to concentrate on these markets and exploit them, as it will enable the Sector to minimize the impact of the global economic recession.
Potential in the newly liberated areas of the country also should be explored- With the North and East opening up, there is tremendous scope for the fishing and agriculture industry to make a significant impact on the Export Sector. Exporters need to position themselves immediately to maximize on this new opportunity, with emphasis on developing our non-traditional agricultural exports.
Meanwhile Branding and Value Addition should continue as a priority. There should be value addition for traditional exports such as tea, rubber, coconut based products, spices as well as fruits, flowers, vegetables, sea food and gems as the way forward is through value addition and building Sri Lankan brands wherever possible.
She said, that as the apex body representing over 1,000 Exporters through direct and indirect membership, who contribute to cover 80% of the total exports in the country, the Exporters Association has been actively addressing some of the issues with the Institutions concerned. Issues requiring attention include, the continuing problem of obtaining outstanding VAT refunds, the need for greater ease of doing business at Customs and Port, expediting Public Entities to position themselves by simplifying procedures and business re-engineering to cater to electronic transacting and electronic data interchange, and the need for on line payment facilities with Government agencies to be made effective.
