Southern Lee's Tanoah Lockley intercepts a long bomb deep in the Cavaliers' territory while defending with A.J. West against Northwood's Justin Brower. The catch was ruled as pass interference on the defense, and Northwood retained possession of the ball. The final score in last Friday's game was a loss for the Chargers, 47-17.

PITTSBORO — In the Southern Lee team huddle just before kickoff Friday against Northwood, the Cavaliers were hoping to bounce back from an 0-2 start to the season. They were just a week removed from a 63-10 loss to Pinecrest, the team's worst loss since 2010.
Senior quarterback Thomas Harrington had something to say to his team. "Listen guys, 0-3 is not good," said the quarterback. "Let's get out there and play our hardest."
The Cavaliers, however, wouldn't have to worry about falling to 0-3 for long because a 55-yard touchdown pass from Harrington to Tanoah Lockley less than two minutes into the game gave Southern Lee a lead it would never relinquish.
A total of 225 passing yards and four touchdowns for Harrington powered Southern Lee to a 47-17 win.
The victory moved the Cavaliers to 1-2, while Northwood fell to 0-3.
"We needed a win pretty bad," Southern Lee coach Ken Neal said.
After the early Cavaliers touchdown, an errant snap over the head of Northwood's punter and out the back of the end zone for a safety gave Southern Lee a 9-0 lead with 8:44 to go in the first quarter.
Another touchdown pass from Harrington to Logan Hair just 26 seconds later pushed the score to 17-0.
Harrington wasn't just controlling the game with his arm, however, but also with his eyes.
With about four minutes remaining in the first quarter, the quarterback saw the Northwood linebackers flowing with the tailback on a run play, and he checked in with Neal.
"I went over to the coach and I said, 'Hey man, this is what I see,'" Harrington said, "He said, 'Alright, if that's what you see, then fine, do it.'"
On the next play, Harrington called "32 Cruz," a run pass option, and hit a wide open Elijah Foxx for a 70-yard touchdown to make it 23-0.
"I was feeling good and our receivers were catching it," Harrington said. "It was awesome."
The Cavaliers' offense was far from done, however. After Northwood got on the board with an early second quarter field goal, bringing the score to 23-3, Southern Lee responded with rushing touchdowns from Lockley and Keshaun Mays to make it 36-3 with 1:55 left in the half.
Northwood quarterback Jack Thompson was then intercepted for the third time, giving the ball back to Southern Lee with 1:01 to go. Rather than run out the clock, the Cavaliers remained aggressive. On the first play of the drive, Harrington found Foxx streaking down the sideline for another 70-yard touchdown. Mays punched in the 2-point conversion to stretch the halftime advantage to 44-3.
"We got a big lead in the first half and we were just fired up about it and everybody was playing hard," Harrington said. "We work in practice all week. Your receivers learn to trust your quarterback and your quarterback trusts your receivers."
The Chargers committed six turnovers and continued to struggle playing in their new system under first-year coach Cullen Homolka.
"We're still learning how to play right now," Homolka said. "I thought we had a pretty good scheme coming into it and our kids, at some point, they've just got to execute."
Harrington played just one series in the second half and with him out of the game, Northwood started to gain momentum. A 14-play, 72-yard drive over nearly five minutes culminated in a touchdown pass on fourth and goal from Jack Thompson to Justin Brower. Thompson then led another drive and connected with Perry Marshall Jr. for a touchdown, making it 44-17 with 11:55 remaining in the game.
"We didn't change anything defensively or offensively," Homolka said. "We ran the same stuff one half to the next. Our kids just started figuring it out. It started clicking to them."
One final field goal from Southern Lee provided the Cavaliers' only points of the half to round out the scoring. "We still messed up and made some mistakes," Neal said. "We're going to go back Monday and get better and try to get to 2-2."
A week after a 53-point loss, Thomas Harrington and Southern Lee found themselves on the other end of a blowout this time around.
"Everybody wants to win and you really focus on that winning feeling especially when you're getting beaten badly," Harrington said. "You don't want the feeling of a loss. Losses suck, but when you win, everything's great. Everybody looks forward to that feeling."

Kenya's HIV Transmission Law Divides Government, Advocates, IRIN/PlusNews Reports
A new law in Kenya -- which has been approved but not yet implemented -- is intended to prevent willful transmission of HIV/AIDS, but some advocates and government agencies are divided on its possible implications, IRIN/PlusNews reports. Kenyan HIV/AIDS advocate Inviolata Mbwavi warned that the legislation could in effect label HIV-positive people as dangerous, adding, "When you criminalize HIV, then we are going back to square (one) of trying to stigmatize the virus even more, yet we have not effectively dealt with the stigma associated with HIV. Why do we want to further burden those who are already burdened by coming up with HIV-specific legislation?"
The government-run National AIDS Control Council strongly opposes the law, arguing that it puts the responsibility of transmission solely on HIV-positive people. Tom K'Opere, an advocate at the country's High Court, said, "Why would one bother to go for a test when they already know it could be used against them in a court of law?" He added that the law is "ridiculous" because it will "discourage" testing. In addition, the AIDS council estimates that most Kenyans are unaware of their HIV status.
Meanwhile, some supporters of the law argue that it should be implemented to protect vulnerable groups, such as women and children. Anne Gathumbi, an officer at the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, said, "We know that the majority of those who know their status are women. What we are doing by passing such a law is therefore to condemn people we are claiming to protect to jail." Some advocates are concerned that the legislation does not address the responsibility of HIV-negative people. In addition, a clause in the law that gives health care providers the right to disclose a patient's HIV status to relatives, resulting in a violation of confidentiality, is causing concern, IRIN/PlusNews reports. However, it has not been determined whether the government will implement this clause ( IRIN/PlusNews , 12/12).

Abstract : When analyzing remote sensing hyperspectral images, numerous works dealing with spectral unmixing assume the pixels result from linear combinations of the endmember signatures. However, this assumption cannot be fulfilled, in particular when considering images acquired over vegetated areas. As a consequence, several nonlinear mixing models have been recently derived to take various nonlinear effects into account when unmixing hyperspectral data. Unfortunately, these models have been empirically proposed and without thorough validation. This paper attempts to fill this gap by taking advantage of two sets of real and physical-based simulated data. The accuracy of various linear and nonlinear models and the corresponding unmixing algorithms is evaluated with respect to their ability of fitting the sensed pixels and of providing accurate estimates of the abundances.

Different Like Me
My Book of Autism Heroes
Jennifer Elder
Eight-year-old Quinn, a young boy with AS, tells young readers about the achievements and characteristics of his autism heroes, from Albert Einstein, to Lewis Carroll, Benjamin Banneker and Julia Bowman Robinson, among others. All excel in different fields, but are united by the fact that they often found it difficult to fit in-just like Quinn.
2005, 9.21in x 6.22in / 234mm x 158mm, 48pp
2005, ePUB, 48pp
Different Like Me introduces children aged 8 to 12 years to famous, inspirational figures from the world of science, art, math, literature, philosophy and comedy.
Eight-year-old Quinn, a young boy with Asperger's Syndrome, tells young readers about the achievements and characteristics of his autism heroes, from Albert Einstein, Dian Fossey and Wassily Kandinsky to Lewis Carroll, Benjamin Banneker and Julia Bowman Robinson, among others. All excel in different fields, but are united by the fact that they often found it difficult to fit in-just like Quinn.
Fully illustrated in colour and written in child-friendly language, this book will be a wonderful resource for children, particularly children with autism, their parents, teachers, carers and siblings.
Different Like Me is a book describing the lives of various people who found it difficult to fit into society. There are both famous and historical people who found it difficult to fit into society. There are both famous and historical people who all excelled in their chosen fields. It is beautifully illustrated and starts with an introduction to Quinn, who describes what it feels like to be different from others- to be, in fact, autistic.
The famous people include Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Sir Isaac Newton and gives brief pen portraits of their lives, difficulties they encountered and their achievements.
The book is written with children between the ages of eight and twelve years in mind, and could be a useful resource for explaining some of the effects of autism and the feeling of not fitting in or belonging.
It offers good role models and will encourage those children with low self-esteem, that they, too, can achieve great things.
- Support for Learning
'I think this book would be a useful addition to the library of any secondary school with youngsters with Asperger's Syndrome or higher level ASD'
- Michael Jones, Educational Consultant
'`Written through the eyes of 8 -year-old Quinn who has Asperger's syndrome (AS), this delightfully illustrated book introduces famous and talented people who are felt to have autism or AS. Historical and present day personalities are included, from the sciences, music, literature, art and comedy. In describing each individual and his or her special talents, this lively little book shows the diversity that is found within the autistic spectrum. The writer gives a clear message that being different is not just ok but is something to celebrate. Her aim was to help children with autistic spectrum disorders understand their diagnosis. The illustrations and single-page, clearly written accounts make this plausible. Although the book is intended for 8 to 12 year olds, it would also be relevant to families, friends, carers and educators.''
- Good Autism Practice
'The book begins with a young boy going to the Doctor who subsequently tells him that he is autistic. The doctor explains that this means that he is different and may find it difficult fitting in. The book then introduces him to inspirational famous and historical figures, all of which excel in their own particular field but are united by the fact that they too, found it difficult to fit in. Each page has a different person's life story and an illustration of the person. The stories are written very simply, easily read and understandable, yet truly inspirational and very educational.'
- Autism Awareness
Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Isaac Newton, Lewis Carol and Hans Christian Andersen had one thing in common. According to this book they all had autistic spectrum disorder. It tells the very interesting stories of 20 men and women who didn't "fit in" with other people but were talented and successful in their own fields. The stories are illustrated by original paintings of each person.'
Different like me, by Jennifer Elder, is a book that celebrates some of the great things achieved by people on the Autism spectrum. The book is aesthetically pleasing: well presented; beautifully illustrated, and easy to read, both in content and layout.
- Children Young People & Families
'Different Like Me is a well written, informative book that introduces children - aged 8 and up - to quirky famous people; people who excelled in their chosen filed, be it music, art, science and even comedy, but didn't quite fit in. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of what made them tic and the fact that there were a good proportion of women this is a great confidence booster for children with a `high functioning' Autistic Spectrum Disorder, an opportunity for them to show off, and an enjoyable read for every one, to boot!''
- Education Otherwise
'I see this book as useful for children aged eight to twelve, for families with a young child with autism and for schools to be able to celebrate difference. So often the differences we identify and celebrate are the visible ones, but it is vital that we can see the individuality of each person as a cause for celebration too. This book will help all those reading it to remember the autism heroes and recognise the special differences and individuality of children with autism.'
- Rostrum
'Autistic children and their friends will find much to admire in these people and will learn that being different can have its positive points. Excellent for school libraries and for the home as well.'
- www.healthybooks.org.uk
'This book will help inspire kids who are different and shows them that they too can succeed.'
- Temple Grandin, Associate Professor of Animal Science, Colorado State University, and author of Animals in Translation

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals announced that the U.S. FDA granted approval of its Abbreviated New Drug Application for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection 300mg/3mL Multiple Dose Vial. The company currently manufactures and distributes Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in prefilled syringe form and this approval of the Multiple Dose Vial allows the company to begin offering the full line of Enoxaparin products. Amphastar's newly approved product was determined by the FDA to be therapeutically equivalent to Lovenox MDV sold in the United States by Sanofi-Aventis. Amphastar plans to launch Enoxaparin MDV in the second quarter. According to IQVIA, U.S market annual sales for the 12 months ended December 31, 2018 for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection 300mg/3mL MDV was approximately $11M.
Wells says generic risk, not Purdue news, bringing down Emergent shares. Wells Fargo analyst David Maris "completely" disagrees with the view that shares of Emergent BioSolutions (EBS) are weak today on news of Purdue Pharma's nalmefene injection receiving fast track designation from the FDA. Maris notes that none of his clients have raised this as a potential issue and that, as an injection, Purdue's pproduct is not comparable to Emergent's nasal naloxone. An injection is not practical for the emergency medical technician and at home market, where most of Narcan is used, Maris tells investors in a research note. For example, Amphastar (AMPH) is a leader in the injectable market, and the vast majority of its use is in the hospital setting, the analyst points out. Rather, Maris attributes the recent selloff in Emergent BioSolutions to worries about the potential introduction of a generic version of Narcan. Teva (TEVA) has had a tentative approval for generic Narcan for some time, and its 30 month stay is over today, meaning that Teva could launch at risk from this point forward, Maris writes. As of now, there is no clear indication whether Teva will launch or not, he adds. While the analyst is not expecting an at-risk Narcan launch, he believes the risk of such an event is largely reflected in the shares given today's decline. Nonetheless, Maris keeps a Market Perform rating on Emergent with a $68 price target. The stock in afternoon trading is down 9%, or $4.98, to $52.00.
Amphastar downgraded to Hold from Buy at Needham. Needham analyst Serge Belanger downgraded Amphastar to Hold after its Q4 results, saying that after a "strong string of new products" drove the beat in the quarter, the company's cadence for new product growth is set to slow in 2019. The analyst cites Amphastar anticipating "only one significant Abbreviated New Drug Application product" expected by the end of 2019 as well as its forecast for a "significant increase" in R&D spending as it looks to "restock its high-value pipelines".
Amphastar downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at Piper Jaffray. Piper Jaffray analyst David Amsellem downgraded Amphastar Pharmaceuticals to Neutral from Overweight and lowered his price target for the shares to $23 from $24. At current valuation levels, the shares are reflecting significant contribution from Primatene Mist and new generic launches, Amsellem tells investors in a research note. He views the valuation as a "bit rich" and is taking a "more cautious view."
Reports Q4 revenue $89.7M, consensus $78.18M. The company currently has five abbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs, filed with the FDA targeting products with a market size of over $750 million, three biosimilar products in development targeting products with a market size of over $14 billion, and 11 generic products in development targeting products with a market size of over $12 billion. This market information is based on IQVIA data for the 12 months ended December 31, 2018. The Company's proprietary pipeline includes a new drug application for intranasal naloxone. The Company is currently developing four other proprietary products, which include injectable, inhalation and intranasal dosage forms.
Wells says naloxone news possible negative for Emergent, positive for Amphastar. Wells Fargo analyst David Maris noted that the FDA announced this morning that it is streamlining the labeling for naloxone to enable drug makers to produce over-the-counter versions, which he views as potentially positive for Amphastar (AMPH), which makes injectable naloxone and is working on a nasal spray, and possibly negative for Emergent BioSolutions (EBS), which acquired Adapt Pharma, the producer of NARCAN nasal spray. A generic OTC version of naloxone could come at a much cheaper price point than Evzio, which is priced at $4,100, or NARCAN, priced at $125, said Maris. He has a Market Perform rating on Emergent shares and an Outperform rating on Amphastar.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. said in a statement: "With the number of overdose deaths involving prescription and illicit opioids more than doubling over the last seven years to nearly 48,000 in 2017, it's critical that we continue to address this tragedy from all fronts. This includes new ways to increase availability of naloxone, a drug used to treat opioid overdose... Naloxone is a critical drug to help reduce opioid overdose deaths. Prevention and treatment of opioid overdose is an urgent priority. Increased availability of naloxone for emergency treatment of overdoses is an important step. We're announcing the results of our work, including posting two model DFLs and the supporting FDA review. These efforts should jumpstart the development of OTC naloxone products to promote wider access to this medicine. The model DFL contains the information that a consumer needs to administer naloxone safely and effectively. The model DFL comes in two versions. One is for use with a nasal spray and one for use with an auto-injector. But the product-specific instructions in each version are placeholders that have not been tested by the FDA for comprehension or human factors performance. Additionally, we also held a two-day advisory committee meeting last month to solicit input and advice on strategies to increase the availability of naloxone products intended for use in the community. We asked our external advisors from the FDA's Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committees to consider various options for increasing access to naloxone."
Pharmaceuticals (AMPH) announced that Primatene MIST has been launched. Primatene MIST is an epinephrine inhalation aerosol bronchodilator suspension, which is the only FDA-approved metered dose inhaler for asthma in the over-the-counter market in the United States. Primatene MIST is now available nationwide at Walgreens (WBA) stores and online at Walgreens and CVS (CVS). It will also be available nationwide at CVS stores by mid-January. The company is currently building additional inventory to provide Primatene MIST to more pharmacy chains and big box retail stores in the coming months.

Q: How to forward traffic to VPN device I have set-up OpenWRT in a virtual machine which acts as a router. It has two network interfaces:

*

*br-lan: connected to vm internal network

*eth1:   connected to internet through host via NAT

I have also set-up a DamnSmallLinux (DSL) VM which has one network interface:

*

*eth0: connected to vm internal network
This set-up means DSL connects to the internet through OpenWRT.
Now, OpenWRT creates a tun device connected to a VPN:
/*tun device on OpenWRT*/
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:10.130.3.45  P-t-P:10.128.0.1  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:494 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:494 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:41496 (40.5 KiB)  TX bytes:41496 (40.5 KiB)

I can test if I am connected to the VPN by pinging the vpn gateway10.128.0.1:
/*Ping VPN on OpenWRT*/
PING 10.128.0.1 (10.128.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.128.0.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=12.364 ms
64 bytes from 10.128.0.1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=13.326 ms

By default, DSL cannot ping 10.128.0.1.
If I add the following rule to OpenWRT's firewall, then DSL can ping 10.128.0.1
/*Zone rule for VPN, enables DSL to ping 10.128.0.1*/
config zone
        option input 'ACCEPT'
        option forward 'REJECT'
        option output 'ACCEPT'
        option name 'vpn'
        option masq '1'
        option network 'VPN'

I now want to route all traffic from DSL through the VPN but I don't know what to do. I have tried adding the following route to the /etc/config/network file on OpenWRT:
/*Directs all traffic to tun0 but VPN does not reply.*/
config route
        option interface 'VPN'
        option target '0.0.0.0'
        option netmask '0.0.0.0'
        option gateway '10.128.0.1'

When I do a tcpdump of tun0 after adding this route, it does appear indeed that all the traffic is being directed to the VPN, the problem is that I don't get any replies from it.
Does anybody have any idea of how to properly forward all the traffic to the VPN?

A: The OpenWRT has all the interfaces it needs (and thus the route) to be able to ping the remote gw (10.128.0.1). And it seeme the VPN replies back. good.
Now, on the DSL, you need to add a route : 10.128.0.X/24 (or 10.X/8 ? depends what you have setup on the remote... adjust as needed), with gateway 10.130.3.45 (ie, the OpenWRT, which is the "gateway" you need to go through to reach the 10.128.x network). A lan can only acces another LAN by going through a gateway, using that gateway's LAN ip, as it's the only thing a local machine can access: any ips on its (one or many) LANs. It seems you directly put the remote IP on the DSL, but the DSL doesn't know how to reach it. It probably by default send it to its "default gateway", which could be a internet router or anything, but apparently not the OpenWRT (or at least not the OpenWRT 10.130.3.45 interface, the one which gateways to the 10.X net)
I may have read diagonally.
But in a nutshell:

*

*place yourself in the packet, and act as if you want to reach the destination, hop by hop:

*you need to find the "closest" route (or, if none, take the default route) to go to the next hop.

*Proceed like this hop by hop (forward, and also backwards), and you'll soon find which of the hop doesn't have the necessary step to reach the next hop (or maybe goes to a wrong hop)
ie:

*I'm a ping packet sent from DSL. my source is DSL-ip. My destination is a.b.c.d (10.128.0.1, I guess).

*I look at the ROUTE table, and choose the destination that most precisely fit a.b.c.d (ie, between 0.0.0.0/0 (defautl gw) , 10.0.0.0/8 (with gw 10.130.3.45) and a special 10.128.0.x (with gw 10.120.3.45), I chose the latest as it's a more precise fit, ie more "bits" match my destination).

*So I take that route, and go to 10.130.3.45. (if my local firewall allows it)

*Now I'm a ping packet with source "...." (could change because of SNAT), and destination "....." (could change with DNAT). And I look at the routing table...

Don't allow both directions, it would open your LAN to anything incoming from the VPN instead of just the established connections!) – Olivier Dulac just now edit

Since Congress Can't Agree on a Stimulus Bill, States and Cities Are Providing Relief
By Greg Iacurci, CNBC	• Published December 3, 2020 • Updated on December 3, 2020 at 2:16 pm

Alaska, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico and New York City are among the areas that have infused money into households and businesses over the past two weeks.
The financial aid includes stimulus checks, extra unemployment benefits, interest-free loans for small businesses and housing assistance.
Covid stimulus talks on Capitol Hill seem to be bearing fruit this week, but concrete action remains elusive.
Some states and cities are forging ahead to provide relief to residents financially scarred by the Covid crisis, as negotiations on a federal rescue package continue on Capitol Hill.
Alaska, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico and New York City are among the areas that have injected fresh rounds of assistance over the past two weeks, including stimulus checks, extra unemployment benefits, interest-free loans for small businesses and housing assistance.
Minnesota lawmakers are working to push through similar measures.
The collective action to pump money into households and local economies is happening as Congress negotiates the contours of more federal Covid relief. Those talks, which have been ongoing for months, seem to be bearing fruit.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday expressed support for a bipartisan $908 billion measure — more than $1 trillion less than their prior asking price. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that "compromise is within reach."
Meanwhile, aid programs for the jobless, renters and student borrowers — which are each supporting millions of Americans — expire at year's end. Covid cases and deaths are rising nationwide, job growth has slowed and the winter months threaten further pain for businesses.
"We know that Colorado or any state can only do so much, and national help is urgently needed," said Gov. Jared Polis said Wednesday.

"We see light at the end of the tunnel with news of a vaccine, but the consequences of this pandemic will be far lingering if Washington fails to act," the Democrat added.
Colorado started issuing $375 stimulus payments to residents who've suffered financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic, Polis and the state Labor Department said Wednesday.
All workers eligible for $25 to $500 a week in unemployment benefits between March 15 and Oct. 24 will get the one-time boost.
The state has issued about $77 million in payments since Monday to more than 213,000 people. Approximately 435,000 people will be eligible, according to the announcement.
In New Mexico, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, signed a $330 million relief package on Nov. 25.
The law, which takes immediate effect, contains $100 million in grants for small businesses, $15 million in emergency housing assistance, $5 million for emergency food bank services and $5 million for direct payments to low-income residents who didn't receive a federal stimulus check.
The IRS has issued roughly 160 million stimulus checks, totaling more than $270 billion, and will continue disbursing the aid throughout the year. The maximum payment is $1,200 for individuals.

New Mexico will also pay a one-time $1,200 New Mexico Worker Pandemic Benefit in coming weeks to recipients of unemployment benefits.
More than 100,000 workers in the state were receiving jobless aid last month, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
'Doing everything they can'
States are limited in the scope of assistance they may offer because they, unlike the federal government, must balance their budgets, said Michael Leachman, vice president for state fiscal policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning think tank.
In some cases, states are using leftover federal money allocated to them in March via the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, Leachman said. States have a Dec. 30 deadline to spend the money, absent an extension.
"I see states doing everything they can, in many cases," he said.

In Alaska, Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican, expedited the release of $20 million in CARES Act funding to Anchorage this week to help struggling businesses. Monthlong business restrictions in the city, the state's largest, took effect on Tuesday to curtail rising Covid infections.
Last week, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan issued more than $19 million in grants to prevent evictions. The aid, disbursed to 17 local jurisdictions, will help more than 3,600 households in the state, the Republican said.
New York, the largest city in the U.S., created a $35 million fund to offer no-interest loans to small businesses in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods, Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, and Department of Small Business Services Commissioner Jonnel Doris announced last week.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks at Bryant Park on Nov. 5, 2020.
The loans, of up to $100,000, are available to storefront businesses impacted by Covid with fewer than 99 employees.
Similarly, California created a $500 million fund to issue grants to "underserved micro and small businesses" and nonprofits, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday. The grants, up to $25,000, would reach recipients by early next year.
Meanwhile, some states are trying to push through relief legislation. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republicans in the state House issued separate proposals last week to offer relief to small businesses.
In addition to financial assistance for businesses, Walz also proposed $500 one-time payments to families, and a 13-week extension to unemployment benefits. The Democrat was hopeful a bipartisan package would pass this week.
The governor also announced $1 million in crisis grants for nonprofits in the tourism sector last week.
"The current situation is simply untenable," Walz said recently. "We need Congress to act immediately to help keep our businesses afloat, our workers paid, and our families with food on the table."

Change Light orbs to Dark orbs.
He's a vital sub on some teams, such as one that lets you breeze through Cave of Dreaming (Thursday Mythical Dungeon), once he's skill level 3 or better. Not a good REM pull, though, I suppose you're right.
By Vilt: Everybody must be awoken (minus Vamp and Dark Dragon Knight). Vamp/Hanzo must be max skilled, and Dark Dragon Knight must be slvl 3+. Floor 1 orb change to do 16x. Floor 2 orb change for 9x. Floor 3 (Dark Dragon Knight should be up) 16x to isolate tamadra. Stall for skills and continue. Pandora/Vamp/Hanzo/Dtron at boss for OHKO.
So, hold on to him and keep trying to skill him up. Eventually he can be a vital Orb Changer for you. Definitely not lame in the right situation.
Thanks for the awesome info treeroots...having the right subs can mean all the different in the harder dungeons!
When I got this in the REM, it was a plus egg. But I was like, "might as well feed you to your betters." And it gave me my last skill up for Voice.

Jim Ross on His Deeply Personal 'Under the Black Hat' Memoir & Why AEW Will Succeed
Scott Fishman April 7, 2020, 4:00 pm
Jim Ross is the first to tell you that his more than 45 years and counting in the pro wrestling business have been a roller coaster ride.
The early part of the Hall of Famer's career is told in the best-selling memoir Slobberknocker. Now, picking up where the story left off, the legendary voice of wrestling once again collaborates with author Paul O'Brien for Under the Black Hat: My Life in the WWE and Beyond. The proud Okie poured his heart and many tears over a book dedicated to his late wife Jan, who died three years ago after a car accident.
The 68-year-old BBQ sauce entrepreneur, podcaster and now All Elite Wrestling broadcaster and senior adviser is humbled by the support from those who have already read it. For Good ol' JR, it's a support system that has become part of an extended family.
Bah Gawd! WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross Looks Back at 25 Years of 'Monday Night Raw'
Jim Ross was ringside for some of WWE's biggest moments on 'Monday Night Raw.' Ahead of the show's milestone 25-year anniversary, the Hall of Fame broadcaster looks back at its history and how it changed his life.
"To know that this audience has grown immensely and have appreciated my work over the years, it's amazing. The book has a lot of familiar topics to cover here," Ross said. "One is certainly my marriage to Jan and how important she was behind the scenes when I was in charge of talent relations at WWE. Selfishly, how important she was in my career and keeping me propped up when I was living life in the fast lane trying to do all my work.
"...There are some funny parts. There are some dramatic parts. There are some poignant parts. There are a lot of life lessons. There are some interesting stories about Steven Austin, recruiting Chris Jericho, signing the Radicalz, the original XFL. It covers a broad spectrum."
Here, Ross goes into how hard the writing process was for him at times, his exit from WWE and his transition into AEW.
Were there points in the writing process where you weren't sure you'd be able to finish the book? If so, what got you through?
Jim Ross: Jan's spirit got me through. She deserved to have her story told, too. If people are interested in my story, they're certainly going to be interested in hers because she wasn't just my wife. She was my best friend, my biggest fan, my most positive voice day in and day out.
In pro wrestling, you don't always get a steady diet of positive voices. It's a very unique business where insecurity and paranoia can run rampant including me. I didn't say I was exempt. This is showbiz. There is always that uncertainty. The most powerful weapon in wrestling is the eraser. The book needed to be written. Under the Black Hat is my last public hug to my late wife. I have buddies of mine who'd be on the road and their wife got a hold of the book first and wouldn't let them have it because they said it was a love story. I never looked at it like that. I didn't write a love story. I just wrote a truthful story that had love involved in it.
Cody Rhodes on All Elite Wrestling's Historic 2019 & What's Next
AEW is ready to kick off 2020 with a bang with a 'Homecoming' edition of 'Dynamite.'
What I love about your story is that it transcends pro wrestling. Anyone can take something from it. Whether it's dealing with grief, maneuvering through the shark-infested waters of business, battling through health issues like you have with Bell's palsy and more.
Writing the book was challenging, especially where I was talking about interaction with Jan because in all these situations. When we wrote it, I had to relive it. When we did the audiobook, which was the most daunting thing I've ever done in a business environment. These memories are so vivid I could still smell her perfume. I could smell that in my writing prominently when I was reading the book.
Of course, fans are going to find interest in the recount of your exit from WWE after working on-and-off there for 26 years. Do you feel this book is going to affect your relationship with Vince McMahon? Have you gotten any response on that front?
I haven't gotten any feedback from that side, and I don't expect to. I didn't write a hatchet job book. I wrote a truthful book. I'm not plowing new ground here. Everybody knows Vince is challenging to work with. That's not indicating to me that he is a bad person. He financially made me whole. I learned a tremendous amount about business in general, especially the wrestling business and its structure and organization and living your vision. My book is honest, and sometimes because of the honesty and the sensitive subject, it can drive up emotions.
Like the story about me waking up from a morphine high after getting released from intensive care and coming home and her watching a parody of me "Dr. Heinie "on Raw and me sleeping through it. I wake up, and she is crying. And I don't know why. I was almost afraid to ask her because her parents were elderly and thought she might have had a bad call. Those stories are just real. It all depends on your interpretation of it. Good, bad, indifferent, that's for the reader to decide based on he or she reads and how you process that information.
WWE Giant Paul Wight on Transitioning to Sitcoms With 'The Big Show Show'
The new Netflix series, now streaming, sees the 7-foot star play a retired wrestler at home with his wife and three daughters.
Left to pick up the pieces after Jan died, you seem to have found your passion for wrestling again when you signed with All Elite Wrestling last year. You've always said you wanted to die of use, and not from rust.
[All Elite Wrestling president] Tony Khan has been a breath of fresh air in my life. He made hiring me a priority inasmuch as I signed my contract and went on the payroll the day after my WWE contract expired. The WWE contract did expire. I wasn't fired. I decided I didn't want to renegotiate because I wanted to stay busy.
I'm in the back nine of life, and you want to maximize your minutes in tenfold if you can. I didn't want to sit home. I didn't want to be that guy sitting on the sidelines wearing a visor and carrying a clipboard. I wanted to play. Tony Khan wanted me to play in a big way. I am senior adviser of AEW, which he and I discuss a lot of things. He is a rampant fan. He is as educated a fan as I've ever been around ever. His recall is extraordinary. He was quoting something the other day on Mid-South [Wrestling], and he wasn't even born.
How does the atmosphere compare to other places you've worked?
It's refreshing with AEW. It's entirely different from what I've been accustomed to because it's very nonpolitical, intimate. The atmosphere that those in charge create is one of positivity. We laugh, have fun. We're just a bunch of wrestling fans that are finally getting the opportunity to really express our voices. I love doing commentary, and since I started in October, I've heard Tony Khan on my headset maybe two or three times to remind me of something. Not to correct, don't say this or that. Just information.
It's been really cool. It makes me feel younger. I enjoy going to work. I'm not flying right now going places because Tony wanted me to stay home because I'm in the high risk group. I appreciate his concern, but it doesn't mean I'm not contributing and helping out when I can. It has been a blessing in JR's life.
With the environment we're in right now thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, somehow wrestling is still finding a way to be produced. What has the last few weeks been like as far as having to change course and push through to put on programming?
There is a small group that is doing a tremendous amount of work. What I watched on Wednesday night as far as the camera angles, the lighting, the audio, the things that make a TV show good that we often take for granted was spot on. For the little crew they had, the smaller ring, the smaller venue, no fans.
It's amazing to me that we're getting anything done. You have this young and creative arm of AEW led by Tony Khan doing things that aren't done by the book, but they are writing their own book. I know there will be plenty of first-run content on Wednesday nights going forward for several weeks. I'm sure there will be some interesting features. There are a lot of things you can do. This is the hand that is being dealt. I think AEW is making the best out of the situation.
5 Reasons to Tune in to 'Total Bellas' Season 5
Nikki & Brie Bella have a lot going on as the E! reality series documenting their lives returns.
They are committed to having new products on television every Wednesday night. I'm sure at some point in time the matches they have in the can will run slim, and then you got to go to Plan B. I don't know what Plan B is because I don't know what Plan A is of this damn virus. I go to the grocery store and then to my warehouse to sign books.
This is a whole departure for me for someone who has traveled forever. I'm detoxing in that regard. AEW is going to continue just fine. We're building some nice momentum and have been before this virus hit. I know we will step up again because these young creative minds never rest.They don't have political issues like with this guy winning or that guy winning. I really love chemistry. That's going to make this company successful in the long haul in my opinion.
With this book finished, are there any other literary ideas you're looking to explore? Do you see your story being adapted into a movie?
My agent, Barry Bloom, is shopping both books. He has gotten some interesting feedback, but nothing firm. Right now is a good time to get the books in the hands of creative decision-makers because they're not producing things right now and not on set. They're not on location.
So much of our lives are going to be changed forever due to the coronavirus...I have ideas all the time for books. I had an idea for people to submit off their favorite slogans or cliches that I've said. Then contract with a good cartoonist and make a book with stories phrased around the saying.
The most obvious book is going to be JR's AEW story. We got to get some deeper roots first and see where we go with all of this. I enjoy writing. Paul O'Brien is one the most brilliant writers I've talked with or been around. Becky Lynch is a big Paul O'Brien fan, too.
I think at my age, though, the more active I keep my mind, the better off I am. You see too many in my age group have given up. JR's never going to retire. I even refrain from buying golf clubs because I don't want to play more often. I want to work. Working is keeping me young.

Quasi-stationary distributions (QSD) have been widely studied since the pioneering work of Kolmogorov (1938), Yaglom (1947) and Sevastyanov (1951). They appear as a natural object when considering Markov processes that are certainly absorbed since they are invariant for the evolution of the distribution of the process conditioned on not being absorbed. They hence appropriately describe the state of the process at large times for non absorbed paths. Unlike invariant distributions for Markov processes, QSD are solutions of a non-linear equation and there can be 0, 1 or an infinity of them. Also, they cannot be obtained as Cesaro limits of Markovian dynamics. These facts make the computation of QSDs a nontrivial matter. We review different approximation methods for QSD that are useful for simulation purposes, mainly focused on Fleming - Viot dynamics. We also give some alternative proofs and extensions of known results.

Maasai give up nomadic lifestyle due to climate change
with AP
In Kangalitai village in Turkana county, a traditional dance welcomes every day's activity.
But today the villagers are not holding the traditional herding sticks that usually accompany the dance.
Instead, they have farming tools like mattocks, spades and pangas - ready for them to start work when the dance ends.
This is a huge cultural shift and one - the tribes say - is a shock of a lifetime.
At this time of the year Lokale Ekitowou would usually be somewhere between the plains of Turkana and West Pokot, herding his cattle.
But today he is weeding on his farm and soon his maize crop will be ready for harvest.
This means Ekitowou will remain in this village for at least six months, disrupting his traditional nomadic cycle.
"Due to drought in our traditional grazelands, we went to encroach on a neighboring village. They chased us in a gunfire exchange where we lost all the cattle and all my friends were killed by the bullets," he explains.
"So I decided to come back home where I found crop farming had already taken traction. I decided to join crop farming because the weather was no longer promising us grass, and the short rains could sustain some crops in my area."
Just a few paces from Ekitowou's farm, Napem Erusenyat is weeding. Her daughter, whose role would traditionally be to look after goat kids, is scaring away birds from their sorghum (great millet) farm.
"In the recent past, we have been experiencing unpredictable rain patterns," she explains.
"Because we used to depend on nomadic pastoralism, we went to a village where we were chased because grazing land wasn't enough. When we came back to our village, we decided to have our chairman consult crop farming experts to help us to start crop farming. We now have maize and sorghum."
Ekitowou's daughter may never experience the miles her parents used to walk and cycle every year as nomadic pastoralists. She is now being taught to farm crops.
Over in Kajiado County, pastoralist Maiyani Melonye tends to his cattle.
He was raised between the plains of Maasai Mara and the hills of Oldonyo-Sabuk, an expanse divided by more than 300 kilometres of Savanna grassland.
Melonye believes he is the last of his generation to live the life of a traditional Maasai nomad.
"In a year, I could go in a complete circle. I would pass through Makindu, through Voi, Namanga into Tanzania, to Olonkito, Orendenge, all-round and back home. That time it would have rained here again and the circle would begin. I don't think our children will know that nomadic tradition. It is over," he says.
"From the way the weather has become unpredictable, our children will never be like us, the way we were brought up on how to locate grazing lands. They will only know the language but never understand the Maasai traditions."
Mercy Corps is a humanitarian aid organization that is helping vulnerable communities to adapt during these changing times.
Hussein Noor, Chief of Party at Mercy Corps, says climate change has made the end of traditional nomadic farming inevitable.
"With climate change, I think this could be the beginning of the end of African pastoralism as we have known over the years."
"Because we can no longer rely on the traditional rainfall systems, we can no longer rely on traditional weather forecasts, and the more erratic the rainfall is the more fragile the system becomes, the more products that is getting less, both either livestock or land, then over the years I think we could be losing the traditional African systems as we know it today," he says.
The organization is calling on governments and concerned parties to help preserve the traditional nomadic culture rather than allowing changing climates to erode it.
It wants to establish protected traditional grazelands that would help guard nomadic pastoralists against encroachers that erect uncontrolled permanent settlements.
"It is not as easy as many people think. The mindset is one of pastoralism, is one of moving from one area to another and we have to appreciate that. What we need to think about is how do we make that lifestyle more functional in the face of climate change as opposed to looking for alternatives that will actually bring more shock to them than actually becoming part of the solution," says Noor.
The fate of a centuries-old Maasai tradition lies in the balance - and for many, that means much more than simply adapting farming methods.
"I think nomadism represents who we are. It is an identity, it's a culture that we really need to make sure that it exists for future generations as well. And for me if we really don't preserve that culture, we don't preserve that nomadism, for me that is the end of a culture with the identity of pastoralism as we have known it as well," says Noor.

Parents of minor teens will be asked to certify they will monitor the exam fairly. And during the registration process, parents will be reminded of their responsibility for damage caused by negligence or willful misconduct of the child.
Would-be drivers must be at least 15 years and 6 months old to obtain what is formally called a Graduated Instruction Permit in Arizona. That permit requires a licensed driver who is at least 21 to be seated in the front passenger seat while the permitted driver is behind the wheel.
After 11 attempts, will Arizona ban texting while driving?
After holding that permit for at least six months, a teen who is at least 16 can obtain a license if certain conditions are met, but will still have certain driving restrictions placed on them.
"Parents or legal guardians are not only responsible for the learner's actions behind the wheel, but it's usually a parent who's the licensed driver in the car, both of which are strong motivations for making sure the test is taken honestly," said Douglas Nick, an MVD spokesman.
Arizona is among the handful of states that use the online permit test, Nick said.
Driver still will be required to pass a road skills test prior to receiving a driver's license, MVD said.
Parents will need to log into AZ MVD Now to establish an account using their driver license or ID card. They will then have to register their teen for the test.
The online test requires a $7 application fee, which is the same amount one would pay for the office visit.

The East Side community was exiled between Chinatown and the Garment District when the East Side Accidents was founded in November of 2012. Naming themselves after the architectural failure that shuttered our school for half a year, the East Side Accidents came to carry the standard of LES post-punk. Allan's dizzying, fuzz-drenched guitar added high end to the feisty rhythm section laid down by Phoenix, Ben, and the multitalented Liam. Isaiah contributed a smoky tenor and spry rhythm guitar. Every Accident was a singer, but lead vocals were split between Sharon's clean soprano register and the soulful contralto of Kat, who also played keys.

Co-Working Finds Space in Tech Scene
REAL ESTATE: Flexibility, price points prove good fit for startups.
Moving In: Cross Campus' Dan Dato, left, and Ronen Olshansky in Santa Monica. Photo by Ringo Chiu.
Chad Vanags' startup is growing, but he won't be moving into a formal office any time soon.
Bootstrapped since its inception in April 2014, his four-employee email marketing service Ecommerce Influence is housed in a communal office, commonly called co-working space.
"The word 'lease' just gives me the heebie-jeebies. I don't want to be locked to anything," said Vanags, whose shared office in Venice is owned by NextSpace Inc. "We really never thought at looking at an office space. We knew the flexibility and what a co-working space offered. Everything was set up and ready; just plop yourself down and go."
Vanags is among a growing number of entrepreneurs, freelancers and remote workers who have been drawn to the hundreds of thousands of square feet of co-working spaces that have opened recently in Los Angeles. These spaces, operated by both upstart firms and those backed by many millions in venture capital, have cropped up most notably in Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Vista, Culver City, Hollywood, Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles – the region's tech hot spots.
No hard numbers on the total amount of space taken by these businesses are available, but it is clear they are taking large chunks of office space off the market.
After opening in 16,000 square feet of co-working space in Santa Monica in 2012, Cross Campus opened an 18,000-square-foot space in Pasadena in February and is expected to open a 33,000-square-foot space downtown in January.
New York's WeWork, valued at $10 billion by its venture capitalist investors, has two spaces in Los Angeles and has signed leases for three more, including an estimated 90,000 square feet in the Gas Co. Tower downtown.
High-end co-working business NeueHouse of New York has committed to take 93,000 square feet at Kilroy Corp.'s Columbia Square project in Hollywood.
In all, there are more than 50 co-working facilities in Los Angeles, according to website Represent.LA, and more are on the way.
"Penetration into what we think of the addressable market is really low, by our
estimate (just) 1 to 2 percent," said Ronen Olshansky, Cross Campus' co-founder
and chief executive. "I think the scale of demand is going to surprise people in the next few years."
The co-working business model at its core is simple: The site operator signs a long-term commercial lease, throws out some chairs, tables and Wi-Fi and then sublets space to entrepreneurs, freelancers and remote office workers.

Our Safety Sentinels
Cedar Rapids Quarry Receives Prestigious Sentinels of Safety Award
Cedar Rapids Quarry employees were honored in December at a luncheon celebrating their winning a Sentinels of Safety Award, the industry's oldest and most prestigious safety honor. It is the first Sentinels award for the Des Moines District operation.
The quarry was formally recognized at a National Mining Association (NMA) event in October in Washington, D.C.
Cedar Rapids, which finished first in the "Small Quarry" category, was the only Martin Marietta winner this year (recognizing 2013 results). Chico Quarry in Texas was a 2012 honoree. Eight Martin Marietta operations have been recognized as Sentinels award winners.
Among those joining the crew for its lunch were Company Chairman, President and CEO Ward Nye, Senior Vice President of Human Resources Don McCunniff, Vice President of Safety and Health Michael Hunt, Midwest Division President Bill Gahan and Des Moines District VP-GM Todd Clock.
"I'm really proud of the Cedar Rapids crew for winning this prestigious award," noted Gahan. "They exemplify the increased safety awareness I see throughout the division. They obviously care about each other and take the Guardian Angel creed to heart."
Clock echoed similar sentiments, praising the safety culture that has been created and maintained by employees at the quarry.
"The crew at Cedar Rapids has embraced the concept of being good wingmen through exceptional communication and never looking the other way when there is an opportunity to improve safety at work or at home," he said.
Co-sponsored by the NMA and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), the Sentinels of Safety Award was first presented by then-Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in 1925.

Black Leaders, We Need You to Tell the Full Story When Talking About Black Crime—and Black Humanity
Ishena Robinson

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has acceded to the presence of federal police in her city—the same federal officers who have been tear-gassing and beating men, mothers, and Navy veterans in Portland, Ore.—as part of President Trump's ridiculously and ominously termed "Operation Legend."
The decision from the mayor, the city's first who is a Black woman, not only guarantees increased violence on the streets of Chicago in the coming weeks and days; it also essentially gives credence to the president's frequent use of the city as a cudgel of anti-Blackness, grounded in the idea that darker-skinned people living in hollowed-out, disinvested-in lands are uniquely violent and animalistic.
It comes at a time when racial tensions in the country are at a crackling precipice, readying to break at the hands of a president who has said Chicago is worse than Afghanistan; has called developing countries, like the one I immigrated from, "shitholes;" and has described racist white men who murder human beings by running over them "very fine people."
It isn't new or shocking for Trump and other racist non-Black people to point to Chicago and so-called "Black-on-Black crime" to imply that there is something specifically self-destructive about the Black race.
It isn't even new for so-called Black leaders to echo the same, sometimes explicitly, like when Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottom said recently after shooters in the Georgia city killed an 8-year-old in a wave of violence: "If you want people to take us seriously and you don't want us to lose this movement, then we can't lose each other."
The kind of indiscriminate violence that continues to occur in parts of Atlanta and enclaves of Chicago, where just last week 15 people were gunned down outside of a funeral on the city's West Side, is devastating and dispiriting—like violence that strikes the innocent always is.
But it is similarly devastating (as well as disingenuous and frankly dangerous, in the case of what's to come for Chicago) for Black elected officials to practice the kind of rhetorical and political malfeasance that suggests poor Black people are the sole authors of their own devastation.
Look into my house, would you live in there?/ Look me in the eyes and tell me that you care/ Well I've made up my mind to end up in the morgue/ Right now I'd rather die, cause man a live like dog. — Bounty Killer, "Look Into My Eyes"
I grew up in Jamaica, spending much of my childhood years in a poor ghetto community near the country's first capital Spanish Town, where my grandmother raised two handfuls of children amid houses made of plywood and zinc fences like her own.
In Jamaica, we have a saying: "wi likkle but wi tallawah," meaning we are small (the nation has a population of less than 3 million) but mighty. It's a belief underscored by the fact that Jamaica's music, cuisine, and even its track stars are world-renowned, but the country is also known for a high incidence of crime and violence that far eclipses the number of people living there and also stands out on the world stage.
Violence in Jamaica ranges from the typical—a random driveby that left an aunt of mine ducking bullets while out on a shopping trip, thankfully only being hit in the foot—to the heart-wrenchingly gruesome—a girl I knew in high school, an aspiring writer too, who was a year younger than me and excited to go on to college at the University of the West Indies until she and her mother were murdered, their decapitated heads thrown in the Rio Cobre.
Poverty in Jamaica is widely known and widely tolerated by leaders manipulating the levers of power in the systems that maintain it. If you've ever been to the island and ventured beyond the walls of the resorts—most owned by foreign investors—you've likely caught a glimpse of the destitution that stands bare next to the smiling faces of the country's phenomenal, resilient people. Streets more likely to be potholed than smoothly paved. Children selling candy and fruit on the streets to subsidize their family's income. Men crowding cars at traffic lights and squirting soapy water on windshields in hopes of a few dollars, equal turns eager and desperate to show they can make something of themselves with their hands.
The Jamaican slum I come from mirrors many more across the island nation. I grew up seeing people purchase increments of cooking oil sold in plastic baggies at corner stores in their communities because they were unable to afford full bottles at grocery stores, unable to experience such a basic quality of life in a country where natural resources overflow like its many waterfalls.
The first time I ventured far into the South Side of Chicago as a teenager staying with family in the city for the summer, I was stunned by how much it looked like the ghettos I knew in Jamaica. The shiny streets of the city's north side vanished and gave way to dusty sidewalks; no grocery stores or even ubiquitous retailers like Target in sight but plenty of corner food & liquor stores, the landscape dotted with young men somehow familiar to me with their faces both hungry and haunted, eking out a little life in a world where they'd been told lives—certainly their own—mean nothing.
I couldn't believe I was still in America.
I now live in Chicago, near the southern pole of the city where many of its Black residents reside, too few prospering and too many left behind.
Black men in this city have the lowest life expectancy of anyone in the country, and it is cruelly dishonest to attribute that devastating fact to the myth of Black-on-Black crime rather than acknowledging all the other things that prematurely kill Black people living in poverty: a dearth of places around them to access affordable, healthy food; disinvestment in their communities and a lack of jobs with living wages; years of systemic racism that has resulted in COVID-19 taking the lives of more Black Chicagoans than any other residents—most of them from segregated neighborhoods where the median income is less than $25,000—on top of untreated trauma from violence they may have experienced or witnessed; as well as the impact of our ancestors' violent experiences, which lives on in our DNA.
Riding a bus through some of Chicago's South or West Side neighborhoods, as I used to do periodically on shopping trips and errands pre-COVID, always felt to me like a window into the obvious need for social services in these communities—not to mention the obvious division in resources across race lines in the city. It wasn't unusual for me to be on a CTA bus and hear an outburst, see someone who appeared mentally unwell but clearly uncared for talking loudly, sometimes threatening violence. It was also familiar for me to hop on the "L" train line in the city's glittering downtown, and watch its inhabitants become more melanated and eventually exclusively Black as it hurtled further away from where Chicago's riches are on display, towards neighborhoods where some children grow up knowing the landmark that locals still call Sears Tower as just a vision in the distance.
I attended university in Jamaica as a commuting student, and each morning I would walk through the long lane that makes up the rough neighborhood where I lived at the time with my grandmother to the main street to get a taxi or a ride from a friend I sometimes carpooled with to school.
Some mornings I walked by men—many of them barely out of boyhood—standing guard with weapons at the margins of our community, ostensibly for protection against gunmen from the slum across the lane. Some nights, I heard gunfire that sounded like fireworks while trying to fall asleep; so much so that I still can't distinguish the spike of anxiety I get from hearing either kind of explosion.
Somehow I could also see the sadness of the lives that were stolen from these young men, leaving them chillingly unable to see the horror of taking a life—whether it be the unlucky family member of a rival gang, or a random bystander, or even an innocent child.
Environments where lives are diminished create people who go onto diminish lives.
It's not an excuse, it's an obvious explanation. Black people aren't inherently more likely to be killers of each other than other races are, and any suggestion that this is the case is repugnant, ignorant, and racist. Period.
Though the solution to addressing the scourge of crime we all deplore seems to be fairly obvious, elected Black leaders here and in my home country have largely used their positions of power to perpetuate a legacy of disinvestment in places already devastated by poverty and state-sponsored racism. They've passed budgets that close schools and eliminate social services in struggling neighborhoods, then performed outrage at the horrifying and now-predictable consequences of human suffering left to fester, and gone on to fund the introduction of more violent police into communities where they regard the people who live there as little more than animals.
I don't pretend to understand the burden of being a leader in charge of solving seemingly intractable problems for communities of people who also look like you. But at the very least, don't piss on our faces and tell us it's raining—especially when we're crying, too.

Dosadi's failed experiment
Thank you for writing this piece.
There is also another legacy that contributes to the violence in Chicago. Police, and policing are a major part of the problem. For decades, Chicago police arrested and tortured innocent black men across the city and let known violent offenders continue to live and thrive in the cities. People could not report them to the police for fear of retaliation, nor would the police remove the violent offenders. Police and political corruption runs rampant in Illinois. Enforced segregation and generational poverty without hope are also major contributors.
I lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years on the South Side and I can honestly say the violence was not everywhere, but it is a problem that aligns with the history of racism and segregation in the city.

The Papers of Frank W. McCulloch
Identifier: MSS -85-13
This collection of papers documents Frank McCulloch's extracurricular work in the field of labor law after his retirement from the NLRB. The collection is divided in the four series. Series I, the largest group (boxes 1-46 and 63-70) contains the case files he has kept as a member of the Public Review Board of the United Auto Workers, 1971-1987. Series II is comprised of files which record his work as a member of the Virginia Commission of Public Employee Rights from 1972 to 1976, as well as the aid he gave the Virginia Education Association in its attempt to get collective bargaining powers in the early 1970's. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Migrant Legal Action Program beginning in 1971, and the Series III files concerning that program extend from 1971 to 1984. Finally, in Series IV there are records dating from 1974 to 1983 regarding the Legal Services Corporation.
McCulloch, Frank W., 1906-1996 (Person)
Born in Evanston, Illinois, Frank Waugh McCulloch was the son of two lawyers, both of whom were active in civic and social causes. He attended Williams College, where he received his A.B. degree in 1926, and Harvard University, where he received his LL.B. in 1929. From 1930 to 1935 McCulloch worked by day for the Chicago firm of Sonnenschein, Berkson, Lautmann, Levinson & Morse, and in the evenings he did social settlement work in the Chicago Commons. From 1935 to 1946, he was the Industrial Relations Secretary for the Council for Social Action of the Congregational Christian Churches of America at its Chicago office. In 1940 he was appointed director of the James Mullenbach Industrial Institute, a joint project of the Chicago Congregational Union and the Council for Social Action, for which he worked until 1946. In addition, McCulloch was active in a great variety of organizations, including the Chicago Chapter of the League For Industrial Democracy, the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy, the Union for Democratic Action, the Executive Committee of Americans for Democratic Action, the Conscientious Objector's Information and Service Bureau, the Chicago Workers Committee on Unemployment, the American Society for Cultural Relations with Russia, and the Mid-West Institute of International Relations.
In 1946 he became director of the Labor Education Division of Roosevelt University, a position he resigned in 1949 in order to become an administrative assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois. He held this post until President John F. Kennedy appointed him Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board in 1961, and Lyndon B. Johnson reappointed him to a second term. A firm believer in industrial democracy, McCulloch remained in his position at the NLRB for ten years and then joined the law faculty at the University of Virginia. His courses included Labor Law and Labor Law in Action. From 1971 to 1988 he served on the Public Review Board of the United Auto Workers. In 1972 he became a member of the Virginia Commission on Public Employee Rights, serving for four years. In 1974 he was appointed to succeed former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren on the Committee of Experts of the International Labor Organization, a United Nations agency, where he served until 1985. For ten years, starting in 1977, he was a member of the Albemarle County Industrial Development Authority. He died in 1996.

Q: Как сделать ajax-функцию, возвращающую результат? (Callback) Нужно сделать проверку "не занят ли email".
Подскажите, пожалуйста, как реализовать функцию, которая с помощью ajax проверяла, свободен ли адрес, и возвращала бы значение(true/false)
A: Насколько я понял, вопрос в том, как послать запрос на проверку серверу и обработать ответ. Пожалуй, правильнее всего было бы найти готовое решение под JQuery или другой фрейворк, наверняка есть модули, но принцип скорее всего там такой же:
<script>
    function ajax(query, callback) {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open('GET', 'http://example.com/' + query);
        xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
            if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) callback(xhr.responceText);
        };
        xhr.send(null);
    }

    function check() {
        var email = document.querySelector('input#email').value;
        ajax('?emailToCheck=' + email, function(response) {
            if (response == 'correct') alert('Email is correct');
            else alert('Email is busy');
        });
    }
</script>
<input type="text" id="email" onblur="check()">

При потере полем ввода фокуса выполняется функция check, которая выполняет функцию ajax со строкой запроса и колбэком в качестве параметров. Когда приходит ответ, колбэк выполняется с текстом ответа в качестве параметра, тут просто делает alert, а можно например изменить цвет текста в инпуте на красный или крестик рядом нарисовать.
A: уперлись вы в этот callback, да не надо так париться, вообще callback нужно использовать в отдельно взятых случаях, а проверку email делать через php+mysql, если есть такой ящик, возвращаем 1, если нету 0, в ajax достаточно использовать success под это дело, вы главное разберитесь с ajax-запросами.


When on February 12, the Pentagon quietly declassified a top-secret 386-page Department of Defense document from 1987 detailing Israel's nuclear program – the first time Israel's alleged nuclear program has ever been officially and publically referenced by the U.S. authorities – I and other journalists chose not to write about it.
In the declassified document, the Pentagon reveals supposed details about Israel's deterrence capabilities, but it kept sections on France, Germany and Italy classified. Those sections are blacked out in the document.
Israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons. To do so might spark a regional nuclear arms race, and eventual nuclear confrontation. The declassification is a serious breach of decades' old understandings concerning this issue between Israel and its north American and certain European allies.
In May 2011, the State Department revealed that the Israeli business tycoon brothers Sami and Yuli Ofer, were sending their cargo ships to Iran, as reported, for example, here in the (London) Financial Times.
The Sunday Times of London, again on the basis of tip-offs, then reported on June 5, 2011, that cargo ships owned by a subsidiary of the Ofer Brothers Group were being used to shuttle Israeli agents and reconnaissance equipment into Iran.
The full story of the Obama administration's effort to undermine, and effectively attempt to take control of, Israel's deterrent capabilities in various spheres, is yet to be written. There have been several other aspects to these efforts, which I won't go into here.
Many might say that the Israeli government has had little choice but to turn for assistance to Congress and to persons in the U.S. defense and intelligence communities, who share Jerusalem's intense concerns about the nature of the anticipated deal with the Iranian regime Obama seems determined to sign.

NY lawmakers get pay raise making them nation's best-paid
by: MAYSOON KHAN, Associated Press
Posted: Jan 1, 2023 / 03:46 PM MST
Updated: Jan 1, 2023 / 03:56 PM MST
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Just in time for the New Year, New York lawmakers have become the highest paid state legislators in the nation under a bill signed Saturday.
Members of both houses are getting a pay raise of $32,000, for a base salary of $142,000, under a bill Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a day before her inauguration Sunday. That's a 29% raise over their previous salary of $110,000.
The law went into effect Sunday.
Before the pay boost, state lawmakers in California were the highest paid with a yearly base salary of $119,000, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
New York lawmakers passed the pay-raise bill during a special session in late December.
The new pay raise comes with restrictions, though.
Starting in 2025, outside income will be capped at $35,000. Pay in excess of that from military service, retirement plans, or investments will still be allowed.
Some Democrats in the legislature supported the pay raise, and said it was necessary in order to keep up with the cost of living.
But some Republican lawmakers spoke out against the bill during the special session, criticizing the ban on the outside income.
"Their attempt to buy political cover by instituting a ban on outside income won't make Albany better, it will make it worse," said state Sen. George Borrello in explaining his "no" vote on the bill.
Borrello said the ban would discourage citizen legislators, or "enterprising, accomplished individuals with real-world experience from entering public service."
The last pay raise state legislators received was in 2018, and that was their first raise in two decades.
