Windy.
By John Palethorpe on May 29, 2016
Te Atatu AFC v Manukau City AFC
3pm – Te Atatu Peninsula Park
NRFL Division Two
Overnight rain had left the ground slightly sodden, but firm enough to walk on out on Te Atatu Peninsula Park. The sun was shining but the wind was ripping across the pitch, an endless end to end blow that would benefit whoever were kicking with it at their backs.
Te Atatu came into the game off the back of patchy recent form with an 8 -0 walloping of rock bottom Northland FC followed by a loss and a draw to the two teams ahead of todays opponents, third placed Manukau City. Last week they'd put 5 past Albany, but conceded 2 in the process.
City arrived at the park with the most parsimonious defence in the division, shipping only 5 goals in their 8 games so far. Goalscoring's been an issue for them, although only compared to Takapuna and Waitemata who have scored 27 and 26 goals each in just 8 games. Blimey. Haidar Jabir was a familiar face in the orange of Te Atatu although, as one of the City supporters noted, their kit did make them look like a lot of traffic cones.
Not just the kit, to be honest. Leo Berlim combined well with Uba Nunez, who fired home Manukau's first from left of the penalty spot. His eighth of the season.
City's movement down the right hand side was causing the Te Atatu defence all sorts of problem, and when Connor Stoton went on a run and veered into the area, his marker couldn't not bring him down for a penalty. Nunez, again – his second of the afternoon.
Textbook.
Te Atatu were fired up now and some neat passing through the middle saw them hit the post with the defence and keeper beaten. The pressure mounted, pinning City back in their half and eventually one challenge just inside the area drew a penalty for the home side. Norris took the spot kick, City's keeper got a palm to it but it nestled into the side netting making it 2 – 1.
Not for long. Immediately from the kick off City ventured down the right hand side, pinging a ball across the box that the Te Atatu defence failed to clear. It dropped for Uba Nunez who, under the challenge of the onrushing keeper, dinked the ball over and completed his hat trick. 3 – 1.
Nunez celebrates his third.
Half Time: Te Atatu AFC 1 – 3 Manukau City AFC
The score didn't change by full time, but as the sun drifted down and the temperature lowered, the atmosphere certainly did. The first half had seen some rather physical play between the two sides and the dialogue between the players and their opposition benches didn't exactly add to the game, although any kids listening would have learned some very rude words. It's not edifying to see though, is it? Adults deciding to swear and bluster – and that goes for both sides in this case. It's a game, lads.
Substitute Lome Funafuti on the ball for Te Atatu
Te Atatu hit the post again at the other end, while a counter-attacking City seemed happy to soak up the pressure. I say happy, coach Fallon wasn't happy with his team dropping deeper.
Bi-lingual instructions being issued.
The aggro ratcheted up when Prince Quansah, the Te Atatu #15, began complaining to his bench, the City bench, his own players and anyone within ear shot that the referee was slowing down the game. He'd been a handful all game, but he got louder and less effective the louder he got. This drew derision from the City supporters behind the tape and a back and forth started, none of it high quality conversation.
So he called one of them a faggot. I've sent a complaint in about it. I don't go to watch football to see someone demonstrate their prejudice. He was yellow carded for one of a few niggly challenges, but he shouldn't have been on the pitch.
Hone Fowler on the ball.
Te Atatu, have a word with him.
Final Score: Te Atatu 1 – 3 Manukau City AFC

1st round—Colored wool. Make 1, slip 1, knit 2 together. Repeat all
round. Then tie on the white wool, turn back, so as to hold the work on
the other side, leave the colored wool at the back on the right side,
and with the white wool knit off the 3rd pin for the

2nd round—Make 1, slip 1, knit the 2 loops which cross together. Repeat
all round. Bring the white wool in front, turn the work again, so as to
hold it on the right side, keeping the white wool at the back, the
colored being in the front. In commencing a round the wool should be
kept tight. Repeat these 2 rounds about 50 times, and cast off.

  _Materials—1 skein each of Blue and White Andalusian wool; Tricot
            needle, the stem of which measures No. 14, Bell guage._

Commence at the back of the shoe with blue wool. Make a chain of 28
stitches.

1st double row—Raise the loops thus:—Keep the loop on the needle, miss
the first chain stitch, * put the needle into the next stitch, and bring
the wool through in a loop on the needle. Repeat from * until there are
28 loops on the needle; then, to "work back," take the wool on the
needle, and bring it through the last 2 loops on it. Repeat, bringing
the wool through 2 loops each time, until there are only 2 loops on the
needle. Join on the white wool, still leaving the blue, and bring it
through the 2 blue loops to finish the row. A double row is worked with
the two colors alternately, throughout the shoe, and they need not be
cut off; the end of every row is to be worked the same.

2nd row—White. Miss the edge stitch, and putting the needle into the
perpendicular loop of the 1st row, bring the wool through; raise 9 loops
more the same, and, to † increase a stitch, put the needle in the wool
_between_ the next 2 stitches and raise a loop; then raise a loop from
the next stitch. Repeat from † 5 times more, than raise 12 loops as
usual, when there will be 34 on the needle. Work back, as in the 1st
row.

3rd row—Blue. Work a double row.

4th—White. Work a double row. Repeat these 2 double rows 9 times;
making, in all, 22 rows.

23rd row—Blue. Make 8 chain, miss 1, raise 7 stitches from the 8 chain;
then, on the 22nd row, raise 13 stitches as usual; increase a stitch, as
before, then raise 8 stitches; increase a stitch, raise 13 stitches.
Take a piece of blue wool, make 8 chain, tie it to the last stitch of
the 23rd row, and raise the 8 stitches of it; there will be 52 loops on
the needle.

24th row—White. Work a double row of 52 stitches.

25th row—Blue. Raise all the stitches; but at the end take the last 2
stitches together to decrease a stitch. Work back until there are only 3
loops on the needle, then bring the white wool through all 3 to finish
the row; this will decrease a stitch.

26th row—White. Miss the 2 loops close together, raise the rest of the
loops as usual, and take the last 2 stitches together; work back to the
last 3 loops, then bring the blue through them to finish.

Repeat as the last row, working the colors alternately, until there are
only 20 stitches left, then with a rug-needle draw all these stitches
together, and sew them firmly to form the toe. The stitches added at the
23rd row are for the instep, the shoe being joined up the front in
single crochet, thus—work with the blue wool doubled; commence with a
single stitch at the toe, place the slanting selvedges together, * put
the needle into the right edge, then into the left edge, bring the wool
through, and also through the loop on the needle. Repeat from * until
the front is joined; fasten off.

For the back, double the 1st row and join the sides, drawing about 6
stitches together in the centre for the heel. Fold the blue wool in
three, and with it work a row of single crochet along the top of the
shoe, making a stitch to each double row; then, with the single wool,
work a row of 1 chain, and 1 single in each stitch of the former row.
Fasten off.

THE STRAP—Double the white wool, and with it make 66 chain, turn, miss
1, 4 single on the chain; then 3 chain, miss 3, and work single crochet
along the remainder of the chain. Then with the blue wool, used single,
work 1 chain and 1 single round both sides. Sew it to the back of the
shoe, and a button to the strap opposite the button-holes.

A leather sole may be added, and the shoe lined with silk, if preferred,
but it is complete without.

                        PLAIN KNITTING. No. 10.

  _Materials—1/2 oz. of Black and 1-1/2 ozs. each of White and Colored
            Andalusian wool; 1 reel of Gold Check; a pair of Knitting
            Pins No. 7; and for the Trimming, Crochet Needle No. 1._

                               THE FRONT.

THE WHITE STRIPE.—With white wool, cast on very loosely with 2 pins, 90
stitches. Work 10 rows plain knitting, always slipping the 1st stitch of
each row; then for

    THE COLORED STRIPE—Black wool. Knit two rows plain as before.
                       Colored wool. 4 rows.
                       Gold check. 4 rows.
                       Colored wool. 4 rows.
                       Black wool. 2 rows.

THE WHITE STRIPE—Knit 14 rows plain. Repeat the colored stripe and 12
rows of white; then knit 2 rows of white, casting off very loosely 14
stitches at the beginning of each row. These ends are for the Lappets,
and 62 stitches will be left in the centre; on these 62 stitches repeat
the colored stripe and 10 rows of white. Cast off loosely, so that the
work may be stretched lengthways and measure about one yard, including
the lappets, which are now to be fringed as follows:

THE FRINGE—Cut the white wool in lengths of 6 inches, take 3 pieces, and
put the crochet needle into a stitch of the selvedge of a white stripe,
fold the wools on the point of the needle, bring them through the stitch
in a loop, then bring the ends of wool through the loop and draw them
tight. Repeat along the selvedge, looping in the same colors as the
stripes. Fringe the opposite lappet the same. Then, with a rug-needle
and wool commence at the 14th stitch of the foundation row, run it
across the stripes, so as to draw them all together, and sew it firm; to
this will be attached the strings and a rosette. Draw the other end the
same; then, commencing at the centre stitch of the foundation draw the
stripes together for the middle of the head, where the large rosette is
placed.

                                THE BACK

WHITE STRIPE—With white wool, cast on tightly with 1 pin, 20 stitches.

1st row—Knit the 1st stitch; but before taking it off the left pin put
the right pin into the back of the same stitch, and knit it off—this
will increase a stitch. Repeat to the end, when there will be 40
stitches. Knit 9 rows plain as before.

Repeat the colored stripe and 14 rows of white as for the front, until
there are 6 white stripes and 5 colored; in the last repeat, work only 9
white rows, and for the last row knit every 2 stitches together, and
cast off tightly.

Fringe one selvedge of this piece in the same manner as the lappets.

THE ROSETTES—With the crochet needle and black wool work 5 chain, and
make it round.

1st round—Work 10 plain crochet stitches in the round loop.

2nd round—Join on the gold check, work 4 chain and 1 plain on the lower
edge of the black stitches, leaving the upper edge at the back. Repeat 9
times more.

3rd round—Colored wool. 7 chain, 1 plain on the upper edge of the black
row left at the back of the last. Repeat all round.

4th round—Black wool. 10 chain and 1 plain in the back of the same black
stitch in which the colored one was worked. Repeat all round and fasten
off. Sew this rosette to the centre row of the 2nd White Stripe of the
Back, about 12 stitches from the edge which is fringed, then draw up the
12 stitches under the rosette, so that it touches the edge and forms a
scallop. Work 3 rosettes more the same, attaching them to the 3
following white stripes. 5 more rosettes will be required. Sew one to
each side where the front is drawn together at the lappets.

LARGE ROSETTE—Commence with the colored wool; work 20 chain, make it
round, and work 10 chain and 1 plain 16 times in the round loop. Join on
the black wool, and work 12 chain and 1 plain 16 times, putting the
needle in the same foundation chain as before, but at the back of the
colored round; then, with the gold check, commence in a loop of the
black round, work 5 chain and 1 plain in each black loop. Repeat, and
fasten off. Take a small rosette and sew it into the centre of the large
one; then attach it to the centre of the front, where the stitches were
drawn together.

The back and front are to be joined together by sewing the selvedge of
the side not fringed to the foundation row of the front, thus—keep the
back piece on the right side of the work, and the front on the wrong
side, as it is to turn over to form a roll round the face, attach the
corners of the back piece under the rosettes at the top of the lappets.
Draw together the selvedge of the 3 colored stripes in the middle of the
back piece, and sew it under the large rosette; then sew the rest of the
selvedge to the 1st row of the front, and turn it over on the right
side; on each side attach a rosette to the 2nd white stripe of the back
near the front.

THE CORD is made by folding the wools 6 times; take a length of about
1-1/2 yards of black, colored, and gold, plait them together; two
lengths will be required. Leave 16 inches for the strings, and tack the
rest to the back, as in the engraving. A tassel is to be made at each
end of the cord.

With winter quickly approaching, Wales & West Utilities is urging local people to take action and get their gas appliances checked to keep themselves safe from the deathly dangers of carbon monoxide.
The company, which runs the gas distribution network across Wales and the south west of England, is urging everyone to use Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week as an opportunity to make sure that those who are nearest and dearest to them are kept safe from the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week is organised by the charity CO Awareness and takes place annually during the third week of November (16 – 22 November 2015). It aims to highlight the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and reduce incidents, fatalities and ill health related to the poisonous gas.
At this time of year and temperatures fall, many people will switch on their central heating or gas fires for the first time in months – without stopping to consider the potentially fatal consequences of an unchecked appliance.
Blocked chimneys and flues, lack of ventilation and faulty gas appliances, fires and central heating systems are some of the hidden causes of fatalities from poisoning by carbon monoxide, known as the 'silent killer'.
Wales & West Utilities is promoting a few simple steps which could prevent needless deaths or illness as a result of this poisonous gas.
To protect against the risk of CO, audible alarms are important but there is no substitute for getting all appliances, powered by any fuel that burns, serviced annually. Householders should also make sure that chimneys and flues are swept annually too.
In the UK alone each year around 40 people die and over 4000 are injured as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week is an ideal opportunity to remind people to get boilers and gas appliances serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer which will help protect from carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Every year we make over 1,000 visits to properties where we find evidence of carbon monoxide. It is known as 'the silent killer' - you can't see, smell or taste it and it kills 40 people a year across the UK, injuring thousands more. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are often confused with flu, especially in winter, as they include severe headaches, a sore throat, dizziness, coughing, feeling sick, and a general lack of energy.
CO is emitted by faulty appliances powered by any fuel that burns – gas, coal, oil, petrol and wood. The symptoms from inhaling it include headache, dizziness, vomiting and shortness of breath. Sometimes people have 'flu-like' symptoms, but without the high temperature.
More information on carbon monoxide poisoning can be found on Wales & West Utilities' website www.wwutilities.co.uk.

Continuous Coverage and the Unwinding of the Public Health Emergency
Andres De La Torre is a staff writer for Brief Policy Perspectives and a first-year MPP student.
The Public Health Emergency
In March 2020, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services declared a Public Health Emergency (PHE) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, giving the federal government the power to distribute federal grants for local support for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. So far, $148 billion has been distributed in emergency grant funding, and the current PHE is set to expire on January 16, 2022, with a likely extension to April 2022. This coincided with the passing of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, legislation that was aimed at addressing the COVID-19 pandemic through funding for a wide range of social programs, including Medicaid.
Some of the largest provisions in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act were the additional funding for the program alongside added protections for Medicaid beneficiaries. By temporarily increasing the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) by 6.2%, states were able to take advantage of this increase in funds to offset the cost associated with the large increases in Medicaid enrollment and efforts to combat the pandemic. In exchange for this increase in funds, states were not allowed to disenroll beneficiaries from the program, regardless of changes in income or other eligibility standards, known as continuous coverage. Since March 2020, the Medicaid program has seen a historical leap in enrollment; total enrollment grew to 82.8 million in May 2021, an increase of 11.5 million from enrollment in February 2020. The FMAP bump is tied to the PHE and is set to expire at the end of the same quarter that the PHE expires, which would most likely be in June 2022. Furthermore, the continuous coverage protections for beneficiaries would end immediately, allowing states to begin disenrolling beneficiaries as early as January 31, 2022. While millions have been offered a pathway to health coverage through these provisions, the end of the PHE is expected to bring about a wave of redetermination of eligibility amongst enrollees, which could result in millions being stripped of their health insurance.
Continuous Coverage
Continuous coverage has allowed millions to remain covered under Medicaid as states have been unable to disenroll people from their program regardless of changes in eligibility. This has served to prevent gaps in health coverage amongst vulnerable populations when faced with income fluctuations and burdensome paperwork. Continuous coverage is not new: 25 states have adopted continuous eligibility for the Children's Health Insurance Program recipients and states like New York and Montana have extended this to adults through Section 1115 demonstration waivers, appeals from states to 'waive' certain provisions and receive additional flexibility to design and improve their Medicaid program. States with continuous coverage have been able to keep more people on Medicaid and reduce 'churn,' a situation where beneficiaries that have been dropped from their coverage are renewed for coverage within months.
Medicaid enrollees often experience changes that can lead to coverage disruption. The key change is income fluctuation, where a beneficiary's income might rise above the Medicaid threshold, leaving them without coverage. Low-income people in particular are affected by this as income often fluctuates for weeks at a time. If beneficiaries don't report a change in their income, they run the risk of losing coverage; furthermore, when state agencies do find out there has been income change, many beneficiaries are unable to follow up with the proper paperwork to keep their coverage. Increasing paperwork has been found to lead eligible people to reduce coverage due to difficulties with completing renewal processes and providing documentation.
Coverage gaps, as a result, can lead to higher health care costs, most notably, administrative costs for churn of enrollees cycling on and off Medicaid; a 2015 estimate found that the administrative cost of one person being disenrolled only to be re-enrolled could cost between $400 and $600. A higher uninsured population also puts more strain on the level of premiums and healthcare costs as hospitals are left to soak up the costs of uncompensated care.
Continuing Protections for the Medicaid population
Continuous Coverage has been a lifeline for individuals and families to access health insurance amidst a global pandemic. Once the PHE ends, however, states will begin to redetermine eligibility and could disenroll millions. The Urban Institute measures that, best-case scenario, 15 million could lose health care coverage. The Biden Administration's Build Back Better plan provides 12 months of continuous coverage for children under the Children's Health Insurance Program, however, it is imperative that federal lawmakers consider extending these provisions to adults to prevent a widespread loss of insurance and continue support for those affected by the pandemic. By extending coverage for a year, the continuous coverage protections will provide families the stability they need to remain on their health insurance plans as the pandemic begins to unwind.

I'm not exactly sure what you'd call a group of Boston Dynamics' LS3 "AlphaDog" robotic pack animals. A herd, I guess? Two LS3s might not quite constitute a herd, but it's certainly impressive to see both of them in operation, and just as impressive is this demonstration of some new features including autonomous person following and a much quieter engine.

Sojourns
tale of cinema
A cursory glance of the search term 'rats' under any news collation service will show you that most people's adulation for animals doesn't stretch as far as the dark eyed, pink eared, gutter crawling rodent category. News items about these critters chewing on cables, human ears and landmines alike can be found amidst shock stories about oversized, poison-resistant mutant variations and mass scale extermination operations - but rarely will anything positive be reported. Rats have always had a bad rap, finding themselves considered, in turn: invasive species, plague carrier, exterminator's nightmare, research subject and meal option. Indeed, even their name has various negative connotations. In the popular consciousness, the rat breaks picket lines, sells out his friends, squeals to police, and folds on promises. He lives in bins, gutters and sewers, eats trash and falls for traps. No creature, great or small, is lower down the chain. No other species has been the subject of such abuse.
In cinema, the humble rat hasn't fared much better, cropping up as vilified protagonist in distinct cycles through recent film history. Willard (1971), based on the novel 'Ratman's Notebooks', features a lonely misfit with an affinity for the four legged friends who trains his pets to kill. In the Michael Jackson soundtracked sequel Ben (1972), another boy befriends the feral colony, facing off violently against human society in a battle for the sewers. Similarly, The Food of the Gods (1973), based on a H.G. Wells novel and once awarded the dubious honour of 'Worst Rodent Movie of All Time', surrounds an island overtaken by hungry, oversized rodents, its human residents struggling to regain primacy. Deadly Eyes (1982) features a giant rat army taking over the city; Of Unknown Origin (1983) contains a rat versus man battle inside the home; and post-apocalyptic feature Rats: Night of Terror (1984) sees a society of survivors battling a throng of vicious mutant rodents. Rat-Man (1988) unsurprisingly, features a foe that is half critter, half human, and Stephen King adaptation Graveyard Shift (1990) has an oversized rat-bat hybrid as its star. Most peculiar of all, in Burial of the Rats (1995) a young Bram Stoker finds himself up against a troupe of bikini clad lesbians who command killer rats to avenge the men who have wronged them.
Out of favour for while, rat revival features Altered Species (2001), The Rats(2002) and Killer Rats (2003) all feature a population of genetically or chemically altered ravenous rats born out of failed scientific experiments. Parallel to this, Willard (2003) reinterpreted the source text of the original film, and Rat Scratch Fever (2011) takes the 70/80s B-Movies feral rodent format and blends it with Sci-Fi, featuring genuine killer rats from outer space. Yet, every rat must have its day, and in more recent years rats have had warmer welcomes on screen. Rat (2000) sees Pete Postlethwaite transform into one, experiencing first hand the persecution that these "vermin" receive. Aardman's Flushed Away (2006) has stars such as Hugh Jackman, Bill Nighy and Ian McKellen stoop low to play rat characters; and Pixar's rival rat flick Ratatouille (2008) may be the most positive representation of the creature of all time, with a lead rodent with a rare gift who, despite raised noses, cooks dishes not to be sniffed at and rises to become one of the city's leading chefs.
Then, all quiet on the rodent front for a while. Until in 2016 two more rat pictures appeared, not horror films by most estimations but certainly films that provoked a reaction. The first, Morgan Spurlocks' Rats (2016), a skin crawling, exploitative exposé about rat infestations in major cities around the world disappeared almost as soon as it appeared. The second, Theo Anthony's Rat Film (2016)- an informative, impressive feature that uses Baltimore's rodent problem as a leaping-off point for an investigation into wider related issues in the city and beyond - has lingered longer, for good reason. In the film, the rat population, estimated to be as large in number as the human residents, is used by journalist/photographer Anthony to examine the root historic and contemporary causes of a wide array of social problems in the city. Switching styles and techniques wilfully, Anthony jumps between explorations of Baltimore's social housing policies; a 1950s experiment that used rats to explore the psychological impact of overcrowded living spaces; 3D-generated explorations of a speculative "New Baltimore"; and sequences that feature the city's rat hunters—both licensed and vigilante—taking viewers on the tour of the city and its gutters. These disparate approaches create an ambitious, associative map of the city that ultimately ties rat extermination with racial and social exclusion. Utilising a distinctive, multidisciplinary approach, Anthony makes a compelling, intelligent and frequently mordantly humorous case that the city's governance problem is not a rodent one as much as a human one. After a long and malignant history of vilification of the rat on screen, it's nice to see some perspective.
