Standard & Poor's said yesterday that the US credit rating has a good chance of being downgraded due to the debt discussion stalemate marring Washington, and even a deal to raise the ceiling doesn't mean they won't downgrade the country's rating.
S&P's statement makes it official that all three top credit raters, including Moody's and Fitch, are considering downgrading the current triple-A rating. Now, however, S&P adds that they are likely to downgrade the rating even if the debt ceiling is raised, citing that a Capitol Hill deal on the ongoing economic crisis might not necessarily stabilize the financial woes ravaging the country.
Thursday's announcement from S&P says that there is a "substantial likelihood" of downgrading the US' rating, which could come by the end of this month, even. S&P adds that, if a downgrade doesn't happen before August, there is a 50 percent chance it will occur before summer's end if lawmakers fail to find a solution to the debt dilemma. Even then, however, a downgrade would still be possible.
The US Treasury has given lawmakers an August 2 deadline to raise the debt limit, yet five consecutive days of discussions between President Barack Obama and members of Congress have proved unfruitful.
Speaking from Washington on Friday morning, President Obama offered an update on the state of discussions, noting that despite the delay, wheels are in motion.
"I think we should not even be this close to a deadline on this issue, this should have been taken care of earlier," said the president.
The president adds, however, that he expect "we'll see this log jam broken" over the next couple of days.
Obama repeatedly stressed that media-manipulated sound bytes have turned Congress into a playing field for posturing and that the debt ceiling has been raised numerous times in the past and should not have become such a spectacle in 2011.
The president also emphasized that millionaires and billionaires must be ready to make sacrifices and suggested closing corporate loopholes to avoid giving unnecessary tax breaks to those that don't need them.
"I am confident that we can not only impress the financial markets but more importantly we can impress the American people that this town can actually get something done once in a while," said Obama.
The threat from S&P comes only a day after Moody's also said they were contemplating a downgrade of the US credit rating. Standard and Poor's have been alluding to downgrading the US credit since April, when at the time they said the likelihood was one-in-three.
Congress' debt discussion "Jive talk"


FROM 5:00PM. CLOSED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
Happy New Year! It was so wonderful to see so many of you when we got back from vacation. We look forward to enjoying lots of good food, wine, and stories with you over the coming year. We have many fun and exciting new things in store for 2013! We are also conducting our first Facebook contest! It seems only fitting with Baci meaning "kisses", our special sweetheart table and Valentine's Day coming up, that we would throw a Valentine's contest for our Facebook fans. Winner will receive $100 towards dinner for 2 at our special Sweetheart Table. Check out the picture of Dan Gustafson and his wife Phyllis at the sweetheart table below! If you are a fan of Baci's Facebook page, you are eligible to enter the contest. If you are not a fan yet, what are you waiting for?
Mike Cilenti – Employee of the YEAR!
What do you get when you combine Mr. Clean with a super hero? That would be Mike Cilenti! And no, he didn't model for the Mr. Clean logo, but Mike resembles him in more ways than one! Most of you know the front of the house crew already with my big "Heelloooo" and our familiar faces. But, just like a car, nothing would run smoothly without a good engine. Our engine is our kitchen. It's actually more like a fine tuned symphony, with everyone knowing their part to create a great experience for each guest. This includes our unseen hero, and our Employee of the Year, Mike Cilenti. Mike comes in every afternoon and cleans the entire restaurant, including floors, windows, and the restrooms. Then, when it's show time, he is our main dishwasher. He makes sure we have enough plates, utensils and glasses for even the busiest night.
Mike has lived in Healdsburg for 25 years and has three kids that are 16, 18 and 26 years old. He met Shari working out at the Healdsburg Health and Fitness Gym. Mike needed some work, so Shari offered him a job dishwashing at Baci. That was over 2 years ago, and he has never even called in sick! Mike and Shari still work out at the same gym, but says Shari doesn't partner with him because he isn't strong enough (just kidding).
Mike is dedicated, hardworking, and the reason the restaurant is so pristine each and every day. He always has a good attitude, a smile, and something funny to say. Mike says he likes working at Baci because the time goes by very fast. We really like and appreciate him too, as it's not often to find an employee of his caliber. Thank you Mike! Now the next time you have dinner at Baci, you know who has been working behind the scenes to make your evening spotless.
REGULAR ROUNDUP - Our tribute to some of our regulars that have become family to us here at Baci. We think they are a pretty special part of our mosaic.
Most people wish they could take their favorite hobby and turn it into a successful career. That is what Kim did recently with ReHealdsburg. Kim's new venture is much different than the corporate world in San Francisco that she commuted to everyday for over 10 years from Healdsburg. When the company she worked for downsized 1 1/2 years ago, she grabbed the opportunity to travel and figure out the next chapter in her life. That became apparent when Kim sold her house and decided to consign some of her furniture to a pop-up with upper scale home furnishings that was considered the best kept secret in Healdsburg. Those "in the know" loved this exclusive hidden treasure full of great deals. She considered working for them until the opportunity came to purchase the business. Hello next chapter! Kim partnered up with Kathy Weil, another local Healdsburg gal and friend, and together they are taking ReHealdsburg to a whole new level. You go girls!
I went to visit their warehouse and I was surprised by their unique and eclectic collection of classy home furnishings and good prices. I wanted to pull up a truck and take it all home! There is a catch though, the pop-up warehouse is only going to have 8 sales per year. Yes, that's it! The first sale is Friday and Saturday, January 25 & 26 from 9-5, and Sunday, January 27, from 10-2. The address is 1229 Grove St., Healdsburg. For more information, please call 707-433-3231 or go to: http://rehealdsburg.com/home. Don't miss it!
About once a week, you can find Kim and Kathy at the Baci wine bar, having dinner and usually laughing. Kim has been a Baci fan since we opened. In fact, Kim met Lisbeth at the Baci grand opening reception, and they became fast friends. Since then, they have enjoyed many "strategy meetings", commiserating on Kim's boat in Lake Sonoma over life and business. I asked Kim what her favorite hobbies are, and she said boating, traveling and shopping for furniture. We are so happy that she can now take that passion to help others create their dream homes too.
Kim says she is a regular at Baci not only because she is good pals with Lisbeth, but because it's a local hangout, a family atmosphere, and the charm that oozes from Chef Shari.
There are certain people you meet that have really great energy. You can't explain it, but there's something special about them. That's Dan Gustafson. Dan is the owner of Gustafson Winery, a stunning winery and property above Lake Sonoma that probably has the best view for wine tasting in all of Healdsburg, and is the highest elevation estate vineyard and winery in Sonoma County. Besides being just a really nice and genuine guy, Dan is a visionary, a successful entrepreneur, a family man, and a producer of great wines.
Dan started a landscape architect business 45 years ago while attending college in Minnesota. That business is still thriving with employees that have been with him for over 20 years. As a wine connoisseur, Dan would visit the wine country often and eventually purchased a home in Sea Ranch. In 2002, when Dan was driving from Healdsburg to the coast one day, he discovered the land that is now Gustafson Winery and his Healdsburg home. Out of the 247 acres he purchased, 20 acres are now planted to vineyards which produce 9 different varietals including Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Rosé of Syrah. All of the vineyards are sustainably farmed and the remainder of the land is an ecological preserve. They also planted around old groves of madrone, oak, and redwood trees, including the "Sonoma County Heritage Tree." This 300-year-old madrone has a trunk diameter of eleven feet and is thought to be the largest madrone tree in Sonoma County, and perhaps the entire state of California.
It is amazing that the winery is run by a 3 person crew including Dan, dual winemaker and vineyard manager Emmett Reed, and Emmett's sister, Kaitlin Reed Childers, who is the Tasting Room Manager. They have really become one big family. Emmett and his wife not only live on the estate, but when they had their first baby 6 months ago, Dan was one of the first to hold him at the hospital. What also touched me was that to celebrate Dan's birthday last week, Emmett and Kaitlin cooked a special homemade dinner for him and his wife, Phyllis. It's not often you hear employees doing that!
The combination of the view, great wines, and beautiful winery has created a high demand for weddings and events on the estate. Dan hired Baci Café & Wine Bar to be the winery's exclusive caterer because we know the lay of the land. Dan says this way he doesn't have to worry about the events because he knows we will take care of everything and the food will be good. That is essential for Dan because he still travels back and forth from Minnesota for business and to see his 2 grown children and grandkids.
Baci will be catering at Gustafson Winery for Winter Wineland this weekend on January 19 & 20 from 11-4. Be among the first to taste their 2012 Estate Rosé of Syrah and 2012 Estate Riesling! The tasting room is also open every Saturday from 10-4. I suggest you bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view! The winery is located at 9100 Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Rd. For more information or to join their Wine Club, check out their website at: www.gfvineyard.com or call 707-433-2371. Gustafson is a Featured Winery on Baci's wine list, so we encourage you to give them a try if you haven't already discovered how good they are!
Sonoma Organics was founded in 1995 by Richard Robinson who wanted to help small, local organic farmers sell their produce. By consolidating their produce, he created easy access for restaurants to access everything they needed from one place. Now Richard has 3 trucks delivering all over the Bay Area with numerous employees, and an expanded product line. While still representing numerous local farmers, Richard and his wife have recently added artisan cheeses, wild mushrooms, pasta, oils, vinegars, chutneys, heirloom beans, and various spices to their portfolio.
Supporting local farmers is very important to us, so we like being able to support the "little guys" that depend on Sonoma Organics to get their produce in the kitchen. Having a one-stop shop makes the process easy and convenient. For example, Sonoma Organics is where we get an array of artisan cheeses and wild mushrooms, as well as various produce.
Richard is always looking to source new local products. If you have something he may be interested in, please call him at 707-829-8200 or go to http://www.sonomaorganics.com.
MONTHLY RECIPE – Short and sweet, but very good!
Sautee the meat until slightly brown. Drain off the grease. Add in the onion, garlic and fresh tomatoes. Cook until meat is coarse. Add the tomato sauce and wine, and let simmer for an hour. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook the pasta al dente. Toss the pasta in the salsiccia sauce, and add the Parmesan cheese when ready to serve.
This is a favorite dish of Frankie Williams, owner of Toad Hollow Winery!

'He Was In Pain', Kedarnath Director Says Investors Backed Out Saying 'Sushant Isn't A Star'
Garima SatijaUpdated on Dec 12, 2021, 17:36 IST
The filmmaker had earlier revealed during the shooting of the film, Sushant Singh Rajput was troubled.He also said that his mind was systematically dismantled by the industry. "It's a systematic dismantling of a fragile mind".
Director Abhishek Kapoor had to spend his own money on his film Kedarnath because investors had refused to back the film. They said Sushant Singh Rajput isn't a star.
Kapoor has spilled the beans as the film marked three years of its release. For the unversed, Kapoor had directed Sushant's first film Kai Po Che.
"It is so strange. People were leaving Kedarnath saying Sushant is not a star. I was fighting for that movie. I put money from my own pocket to finish it. I was under so much pressure, but I had conviction so I had to make the film. But, while making Kedarnath, I knew Sushant was in pain."
"The thing is, once he passed away, the whole world becomes his fan. But it was not always like that. There was a system that didn't let him believe how much he was loved. He did not get it. But he passed away, and it's like the whole country exploded and declared how much they loved him. That's the tragedy," he added.
The filmmaker had earlier revealed during the shooting of the film, Sushant Singh Rajput was troubled. He also said that his mind was systematically dismantled by the industry. "It's a systematic dismantling of a fragile mind".
He added, "Sushant was brilliant, he was an engineer, he was into astrophysics and quantum physics. But because we couldn't box him into stereotypes we called him 'off'. He was off, just off your radar. There's this thing that if you're not like us then you can't be with us. There are so many camps that if you're not part of a camp, even if you're in the middle of a room, you will be ignored. It is true, especially for actors. I, as a filmmaker, can isolate myself. I can warn a young actor but he cannot see it at the time because the lights are so bright. You lose yourself."
Abhishek Kapoor's Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui has recently been released and the film is making quite a lot of noise amongst fans. The filmmaker had earlier revealed that Sushant Singh Rajput was the first choice for the role.

The Metropolitan Division offers everything that makes hockey worth watching - superstar individual talents possessing high-end skill, rugged toughness requiring players to pay for every inch of the ice and spectacular goaltending. It's one of only two NHL divisions to produce multiple Art Ross Trophy winners and multiple Vezina Trophy winners over the past decade.
Blowouts are few and far between in this division, so it takes an astute bettor to find the best Metropolitan Division game betting lines.
With so many natural and traditional rivalries, it's essential to stay on top of whats's going on with the respective teams.
You have to play close attention to injury reports and tendencies of both player and teams against certain oponents. Watch for teams that are playing the second night of back to back games, or the third game in four nights who might be tired.
Teams coming home from a long road trip, especially a Western swing can be susceptible for upset the first game back, falling into a comfort zone of being home in familiar surroundings after living out of hotels for so long.
Look for teams on streaks, both good and bad ones. Watch for games that can be traps for a hot team, and contests that might be the elixir to cure a struggling squad. Who's strong at home? Which teams are solid on the road? Which teams score with more frequency, and which ones are frugal when it comes to surrendering tallies? All of these elements go into the equation when seeking a smart wager on any game.
Some of hockey's greatest stories have emerged from Metropolitan Division teams. There was Rangers caoch Lester Patrick donning the pads as an emergency goalie and winning a game during the 1928 Stanley Cup final.
In more recent years, the scoring exploits of Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin have astounded all in an era when goals are as hard to come by as at any time in the history of the NHL.
Two of hockey's most legendary dynasties were fashioned by Metropoitan Division franchises. The Broad Street Bullies of the Philadelphia Flyers ran roughshod over the NHL in the 1970s, winning back to back Stanley Cups in 1973-74 and 1974-75 and members of that team are still viewed as larger than life icons within the City of Brotherly Love.
Likewise, the New York Islanders teams that won four successive Cups from 1979-80 through 1982-83 exist as perhaps the NHL's last true dynasty, sicne no team has managed to win more than two Cups in a row since their run.

Link found between severe Covid-19 and long-term mental health problems
Serious Covid-19 illness appears to be linked to an increase in the risk of long-term adverse mental health effects, according to researchers from Scandinavia and the UK. They said it was the first study to look at long-term mental health implications for patients who were bedridden for more than a week following a diagnosis of Covid-19. Overall, most mental health symptoms among recovering Covid-19 subsided within two months after diagnosis, said the study authors in the journal The Lancet Public Health. But patients who were bedridden for seven days or more were more likely to experience depression and anxiety over the 16-month duration of the study, which involved data from six countries. This study was conducted by researchers from Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, and the UK.

Indonesia set to lift quarantine rules for overseas tourists
Indonesia will lift all quarantine requirements for overseas visitors entering the country, its tourism minister said Monday, two years after it imposed border restrictions due to COVID-19. Tourism and Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno told reporters that foreign tourists will still be required to have a negative PCR test before entering the country. Quarantine requirements will be lifted from Tuesday, he added. Indonesia had already implemented a two-week trial of quarantine-free travel in Bali, Batam and Bintan islands, where coronavirus numbers have been falling. The government is hoping the easing of travel restrictions will boost the number of foreign tourist this year to over 3 million.

Hong Kong eases quarantine amid angst over 'zero COVID' isolation
Hong Kong will scrap flight bans and reduce quarantine for arrivals, amid mounting frustration with a strict "zero COVID" policy that has turned the financial centre into one of the world's most isolated cities. Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Monday authorities will lift flight bans on nine countries including the United Kingdom and the United States and cut hotel quarantine for incoming travellers with a negative COVID-19 test result from 14 days to seven. Lam also said plans for compulsory COVID-19 testing for the entire city will be put on hold. The announcement comes days after Lam acknowledged that tolerance for the city's pandemic strategy was "fading" among the general public and businesses.

With Covid cases surging across Australia will a fourth vaccine dose be required?
The government has yet to commit to a second booster rollout. However, it is expected older Australians will be the first to be eligible when it does begin. Earlier in March the federal health minister, Greg Hunt, said advice from Australia's vaccine advisory group was due by the end of the month on whether a fourth dose would be recommended for people aged 65 and over. Hunt said it was more likely than not a fourth dose would be needed for some groups of the population ahead of winter, when a spike in both Covid and flu infections is forecast.

Why China's Covid-Zero Policy Has Found Success While Hong Kong's Falters
Hong Kong appears to have accepted defeat. On Monday, Chief Executive Carrie Lam set out a blueprint for undoing the stringent social distancing measures and border curbs that severely curtailed residents' daily lives for the past two years. Despite the government's Covid-zero measures, 3.6 million of the city's 7.3 million residents may have been infected. The statistic reflects badly on Hong Kong. But that doesn't mean that the same policy in China has failed. To most of the world, there is a simple reason for why Hong Kong is a pandemic shambles: The territory is acting on guidance from Beijing. But the mainland has been far more clever and dynamic with the implementation of its Covid-zero agenda. While the territory has been reactive and prone to slapping down panicky measures, the mainland's economically important metropolises, such as Shanghai and Shenzhen, have been efficient and resilient.

Charities call for annual Covid-19 memorial day in recognition of pandemic death toll
In the UK, charities are calling for an annual memorial day ahead of the second anniversary of lockdown this week as Covid cases and hospitalisations continue to rise. Marie Curie is among the charities taking part in a National Day of Reflection on Wednesday to support the millions of people who are grieving, and remembering the family, friends, neighbours and colleagues lost to the virus over the last two years. People can join a minute's silence at noon or visit a local centre to see a "wall of reflection", the charity said.

Doctors finding hurdles to using pills to treat COVID-19
High-risk COVID-19 patients now have new treatments they can take at home to stay out of the hospital — if doctors get the pills to them fast enough. Health systems around the country are rushing out same-day prescription deliveries. Some clinics have started testing and treating patients in one visit, an initiative that President Joe Biden's administration recently touted. The goal is to get patients started on either Pfizer's Paxlovid tablets or Merck's molnupiravir capsules within five days of symptoms appearing. That can prevent people with big health risks from growing sicker and filling up hospitals if another surge develops. But the tight deadline has highlighted several challenges. Some patients are delaying testing, thinking they just had a cold. Others have been unwilling or unable to try the new drugs.

What if Working in Sweatpants Unleashed Your Superpowers?
What do we wear while working remotely? Whatever we want. Even as we are called back to the office, we might take some of our new sartorial selves with us. We've gone casual, yes—goodbye hard pants—and we've also gone weird, authentic and free. Forget dressing for the job you want—dress for the environment you're in, says Erica Bailey, a doctoral student in organizational behavior at Columbia University and the lead author of a recent paper about remote work attire and productivity. The big reveal: wearing business attire didn't consistently increase participants' feelings of power. Throwing on comfies while working from home, however, boosted the workers' feelings of authenticity and engagement, indicating that they were more immersed in their tasks and more present.

This CEO's Remote Work Policy Is Only 10 Words. It May Be the Best I've Ever Heard
As employers and business leaders everywhere grapple with employee preferences on remote work, they might take a page out of Gravity CEO Dan Price's playbook. When Price recently polled employees to find out where they wanted to work, only 7 percent said they prefer to work in the office. Thirty-one percent requested a work/home office hybrid solution. And a whopping 62 percent said they would prefer to work only from home. "Do whatever you want," Price said recently on Twitter. "As a CEO, what do I care?" Price then summed up his recommended policy in just 10 words: "If you get your work done, that's all that matters."

Surviving remotely: What impact did remote work have on employee psyche?
What impact did the massive and abrupt move to remote work have on the employee psyche? William Becker, associate professor of management in the Pamplin College of Business, attempts to answer this and related questions in his recently published research, "Surviving remotely: How job control and loneliness during a forced shift to remote work impacted employee work behaviors and well-being." Becker's paper investigates the impact of job control—or a person's ability to influence what happens in the work environment—and work-related loneliness on employee work behaviors and well-being during the massive and abrupt move to remote work amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

International remote working here to stay | Ruth Holmes
KPMG International has released new insights on international remote-working practice as flexibility and hybrid working options become crucial to talent management and employee experience. Among the key takeaways is that rather than diminish the appetite for global mobility and international relocation, virtual and remote working practices can be dynamic tools for meeting employer and employee needs around talent attraction and retention, and boosting cross-border working.

Tasmania's education union calls for more support for teachers delivering virtual learning to COVID-impacted students
Teacher shortages in parts of Tasmania are making virtual learning impossible for children isolating at home due to COVID-19, the state's education union says. Children who are in the same household as an active case of COVID-19 are required to isolate for seven days from the date of the case diagnosis. This means that they are forced to do their education remotely, as is the case with children with COVID-19. Australian Education Union state president David Genford said these students needed the full learning support they deserved.

Beijing developed new Omicron vaccines to defend against China's worst COVID outbreak in two years—but it still has no mRNA shots
China's domestic vaccine makers have reportedly developed new COVID shots that can better protect against Omicron, as the country battles its worst coronavirus outbreak since 2020. But despite evidence that mRNA vaccines—like the Comirnaty vaccine produced by BioNTech—offer better protection against Omicron infection, China is still relying on traditional inactive vaccines to guard against COVID. "As we expedite development of an Omicron vaccine, we consistently make safety and efficacy our No. 1 priority," Zheng Zhongwei, an official who oversees COVID vaccine development at the National Health Commission, said during a media briefing on Saturday.

Kenya aims to inoculate 19 mln adults against COVID-19 by June
Kenya has so far vaccinated 15.9 million adults against COVID-19, the Ministry of Health said on Monday in a report, putting the country on course to achieve its target of wholly vaccinating 70 percent of its adult population by June. According to the ministry, 7.9 million people are fully vaccinated with two doses. Kenya plans to fully vaccinate 19 million adults by mid-year and an entire adult population of 27 million people by the end of the year. The 7.9 million vaccinations mean the east African nation has achieved 42 percent of its target of vaccinating the 19 million adults, the ministry said in a statement. The ministry said the country's total vaccination of both adults and teenagers stood at 17.3 million. Out of the number, 8.96 million are partially vaccinated.

South Korea to buy 10 million doses of SK Bioscience's COVID vaccine
South Korea has reached a deal to buy 10 million doses of the country's first experimental coronavirus vaccine, developed by SK Bioscience Co Ltd, authorities said on Monday. The South Korean company has since August conducted Phase 3 trials of its vaccine candidate, codenamed "GBP510", jointly developed with the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design and aided by global drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). "They aim to secure formal approval in the first half of this year, and public distribution is expected to begin in the latter half," Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) director Jeong Eun-kyeong told a briefing.

Why China Is Sticking With Its 'Covid Zero' Strategy
Two years ago, China was being lauded by the World Health Organization for its success in beating the coronavirus. But its insistence on adhering to a so-called Covid Zero policy is leaving it increasingly isolated as other countries, most of which suffered far worse outbreaks and higher death tolls, wean themselves off harsh countermeasures and return to a semblance of pre-pandemic life. Their populations have built up a large degree of protection through previous infections and more effective vaccines. Chinese officials have said vaccines alone aren't enough and stringent curbs aimed at wiping out the virus are needed to avoid a health care calamity. But President Xi Jinping has pledged to try to reduce the economic impact of the longstanding strategy, which Hong Kong also follows.

India considers widening COVID booster effort to all adults, sources say
Article reports that India is considering making all adults eligible for booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday, as infections grow in some countries and some Indians find it hard to travel abroad without a third dose. Only frontline workers and those older than 60 are currently allowed to take booster doses in India, whether free in government centres or paid for in private hospitals. The government is debating whether to provide boosters to other groups for free, said one of the sources, who both sought anonymity as the government has yet to make a decision.

Spring Covid-19 booster campaign to get underway in a matter of weeks
Northern Ireland's spring Covid booster campaign is set to get underway within a matter of weeks. A further dose of the vaccine is to be made available to over 75s, immunosuppressed over the age of 12 and care home residents. Community pharmacies are due to administer the vaccine to care home residents, trusts will run clinics for immunocompromised patients and GP surgeries will run clinics for all patients over the age of 75. While appointments have not yet opened to the public, they are to coincide with the same timetable across the UK.

New Research Shows Higher Risk of Developing Diabetes After Covid-19 Infection
A large new study found that people who recovered from Covid-19 within the past year are 40% more likely to receive a new diagnosis of diabetes compared to those who weren't infected. The increased risk translates into 1% of people who have had Covid-19 developing diabetes who otherwise wouldn't have, the study's author says, resulting in potentially millions of new cases world-wide. Most of the people with diabetes in the study, published online Monday in the journal Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, not Type 1. Some researchers say Covid-19 could also be triggering an entirely new type of diabetes in which certain cells mistakenly start to raise, rather than lower, blood sugar. The study adds to evidence showing an increased post-Covid-19 risk of cardiometabolic conditions, such as diabetes as well as heart and kidney complications. Normally when people think of long-term Covid-19 symptoms, they think of problems such as cognitive issues, fatigue or shortness of breath.

CDC studies show COVID-19 vaccines remained effective during omicron surge
Two new studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show COVID-19 vaccines remained highly effective even during the omicron surge. They report vaccines still protected well against hospitalization, ventilation and death from COVID-19. At the peak of the omicron variant, data showed unvaccinated adults were 12 times more likely to be hospitalized.

Safety and antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccines in an older community
Clinical trials and population-based studies of COVID-19 vaccines reveal exceptional safety and short-term efficacy. While clinical trials included older people aged over 70 years, the COVID-19 mortality rate was higher, particularly in those with comorbid conditions. In Canada, the interval between two vaccine doses was extended to allow immunization of more people, which raised concerns regarding the efficacy of vaccines. While studies noted the benefits of extended duration, little is known about that in the older population.

A Kaiser Permanente analysis of pregnant patients who tested positive for the coronavirus found more than double the risk of poor outcomes including preterm birth, venous thromboembolism (blood clot), and severe maternal morbidity, which includes conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis. The study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine on March 21. An analysis of records for 43,886 pregnant individuals during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic found that the 1,332 who had a coronavirus infection during pregnancy had more than double the risk of negative outcomes compared with individuals without the virus. "These findings add to the growing evidence that having COVID-19 during pregnancy raises risks of serious complications," explained lead author Assiamira Ferrara, MD, PhD, a senior research scientist and associate director of the women's and children health section in the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research.
'Reassuring' data suggests Johnson & Johnson vaccine may still have a role to play against Covid-19
The US public and even some health experts may have underestimated the Covid-19 vaccine made by Janssen, a division of Johnson & Johnson, new data shows. And there's emerging evidence that it could still play an important role ahead. A study published Thursday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open found that the J&J vaccine remains durable and effective, even through the surge of cases caused by the Delta variant. It was 76% effective overall in preventing Covid-19 infections and 81% effective in preventing Covid-related hospitalizations. The study also showed that it provided lasting immunity at least six months after the shots.

COVID-19 Drug Targets Immune Aging, Enters Phase II
Severe COVID-19 infections are more likely in older people, which is likely due to a deterioration of the immune system over time. The need for the development of COVID-19 therapies, especially for aging populations, is of paramount importance. A new study investigated an oral drug that reverses multiple aspects of immune aging. In doing so, the drug effectively prevents death in a mouse model of COVID-19, suggesting that the medication could be used to protect the elderly patients who are at greatest risk. In the study, daily doses of BGE-175 (asapiprant) protected aged mice from a lethal dose of SARS-CoV-2.

Covid-19 news: Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine treats covid for first time
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is thought to have helped an immunocompromised person clear the covid-19 virus. Two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine are thought to have cleared the SARS-CoV-2 virus from a person who first tested positive more than 7 months earlier. This is the first known time a covid-19 vaccine has been used to treat, rather than prevent, the infection. Ian Lester has the rare genetic disease Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, which weakens the immune system. Lester, 37, first tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in December 2020. His immune system was unable to fight off the infection naturally for at least 218 days. "Given the persistent positive PCR tests and impact on his health and mental health, we decided on a unique therapeutic approach," said Stephen Jolles at Cardiff University's School of Medicine in a statement. "We administered two doses of the BioNTech Pfizer vaccine, one month apart, and very quickly saw a strong antibody response, much stronger than had been induced by the prolonged natural infection." Lester was confirmed to have cleared SARS-CoV-2 72 days after the first vaccine dose and 218 days after his infection was detected.

Sinovac COVID vaccine shows modest efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection in children 3 to 5 years
In a new study under consideration at a Nature Portfolio Journal and published on the preprint server Research Square*, researchers investigated the efficacy of CoronaVac, a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech, in children aged three to five years. The findings of this study reveal that a two-dose regimen of the vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe COVID-19, whereas this vaccine regimen is modestly effective in preventing infection.

Q: What is the difference between an Aspect and a Method? [AOP] I know this must be the most simple question ever, but as someone completely new to AOP i cant get my head around it.

*

*What is the difference between an Aspect and a Method?

within the documentation its mentioned:

Aspects enable the modularization of concerns such as transaction management that cut across multiple types and objects.

"the modularizations of concerns" sounds to me like just making more methods for more specific procedures,

*is it? if not how any why is it different?

"that cut across multiple types and objects" sounds to me like these methods are  global and able to be accessed from other classes, I'm near certain that this isn't correct. However the mention of Types and objects separately also has me a little confused here too.

*When objects are mentioned are these just POJO's?

*what is meant by Types if these aren't just objects?

Thanks in advance

A: An Aspect is the association of a Concern, a Pointcut and a Joinpoint.

*

*The implementation of a cross-cutting concern is called the Concern

*The well defined location within a class where a concern is going to be attached is the Joinpoint

*The place where the joinpoint(s) are specified, either through configuration or code, is the Pointcut
A Method is a Joinpoint.
Objects are instances of Types.

A: Aspect is adding a behavior to a method (or all the classes of a method) through configuration instead of programmatically. The configuration can be done in XML, or anything else but the best example is with annotations, like for example you can have a method :
@Audit
public Integer doSomething(String parameter) {
    //Something is happening here
}

Simply adding the @Audit annotation will add the behavior of logging the input parameters, output value and the time of execution. And you do that by creating an interceptor and having your interceptor applied to the methods that have the annotation. This is just an example, you can implement transactions, caching, circuit breaker and a lot of other things with that.
In your interceptor you have a normal method that take as parameter a ProceedingJoinPoint (assuming you are using AspectJ) which contains information about the method and on which you can call proceed() to actually call the method, this allow you to stuff before and after the method call, potentially changing arguments or return value and even potentially not calling the method at all (in the case of caching for example).
The big benefit of aspects is that you write your interceptor once, and then it's very easy to add the behavior to any method you want through configuration.
P.S. : When they say types and objects, I think you should understand it as interfaces and implementations, like you could add the behavior to all implementations of List or just to ArrayList.

Term deposit interest rates for senior citizens climbing up
The State Bank of India (SBI) offers 7.25 per cent for senior citizens on fixed deposits for a period 1 year to less than 2 years and also for 5-10 years tenure
Representative Image PTI
CHENNAI: With credit disbursals picking up and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increasing its lending rates to the banks (repo rate) banks and others are now offering higher interest rates on fixed deposits.
In the case of senior citizens, the fixed deposit rates touch 8 per cent in certain cases.
During the Covid-19 period, the interest on fixed deposits were in the 5% band and one year deposit and now it has climbed up to 7 per cent band.
The State Bank of India (SBI) offers 7.25 per cent for senior citizens on fixed deposits for a period 1 year to less than 2 years and also for 5-10 years tenure.
The interest rates go down to 6.75 per cent for senior citizens on fixed deposits for three years to less than five years.
On its part, the HDFC Bank offers senior citizesn 7% on deposits for 1 year to 15 months and 7.75 per cent on term deposits for five years one day to 10 years.
"I am planning to foreclose my existing deposit and go for a new deposits provided it works out beneficial," said Nitya V, a housewife.
If a fixed deposit is broken prematurely, then the banks will offer the interest rate applicable for the actual term.
The government has revised upwards the interest rates on Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) to 8 per cent for the fourth quarter of FY23. The SCSS interest rate is reviewed quarterly and is subject to periodic change. Interest is also calculated and credited quarterly.
Similarly non-banking finance companies (NBFC) and housing finance companies have also increased their interest rates on term deposits.

The interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.40% respectively.
Federal Reserve policy makers last month grappled with "significant uncertainties" and persistently low inflation as they scrapped forecasts for interest-rate hikes in 2019 even while voicing the need to maintain policy flexibility.
The International Monetary Fund cut its outlook for global growth to the lowest since the financial crisis amid a bleaker outlook in most major advanced economies and signs that higher tariffs are weighing on trade.
Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 1.50 per cent.
First week of April receive 14 percent more views, sellers also see about 6 percent higher prices – which is around $17,000 – and are 1 percent less likely to see prices drop.

# Server-side Programming

You can configure the settings of **RadDiagram** and create its elements on the code-behind via the Server-Side API of this customizable ASP.NET Diagram control.

## Configuring a Diagram From the Code-Behind

**Example 1** shows a possible application of the Server-Side API of the diagram. The code in the example configures some settings of the diagram, of its layout, then adds sever shapes and connects them. You can use it to do all of this on the sever-side and achieve the result in **Figure 1**.

A novel design of high-voltage compatible polarimeter for spin-resolved hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (Spin-HAXPES) went into operation at beamline BL09XU of SPring-8 in Hyogo, Japan. The detector is based on the well-established principle of electron diffraction from a W(001) single-crystal at a scattering energy of 103.5 eV. It's special feature is that it can be operated at a high-negative bias potential up to 10 kV, necessary to access the HAXPES range. The polarimeter is operated behind a large hemispherical analyzer (Scienta R-4000). It was optimized for high transmission of the transfer optics. A delay-line detector (20 mm dia.) is positioned at the exit plane of the analyzer enabling conventional multichannel intensity spectroscopy simultaneously with single-channel spin analysis. The performance of the combined setup is demonstrated by the spin-resolved data for the valence-region of a FeCo functional layer of a tunneling device, buried beneath 3 nm of oxidic material. The well-structured spin polarization spectrum validates Spin-HAXPES in the valence energy range as powerful method for bulk electronic structure analysis. The spin polarization spectrum exhibits a rich structure, originating from clearly discernible transitions in the majority and minority partial spin spectra. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

As Canada celebrates its first national Pride Month this June, we are presented with not only a salute to our country's amazing diversity, but also a reminder that intolerance is still a very real obstacle for the LGBTQ+ community.
The attack in Orlando on June 12 highlighted that truth in the most devastating of ways. As the LGBTQ+ community in Orlando and around the world continue to heal from this tragic event, we offer our condolences to those affected, and reaffirm United Way's commitment to inclusivity, respect and the embracing of diversity.
Together, we will continue to tackle the serious challenge of intolerance. It is a clear issue in Canada, where 20% of transgender people have experienced physical assault due to their identity, and almost 30% of the LGBTQ+ community has experienced discrimination in the workplace.
The impact on our social system as a whole is also significant – the LGBTQ+ population is significantly overrepresented among homeless youth and LGBTQ+ youth face 14 times the risk of suicide and substance abuse than their heterosexual peers.
In Ottawa, United Way's support of the Ten Oaks Project provides LGBTQ+ children and youth with the opportunity to attend a week-long sleepaway camp – a safe space where their differences are not only accepted but celebrated.
United Way Winnipeg is a proud supporter of the Rainbow Resource Centre's Peer Project for Youth program, which focuses on teaching LGBTQ+ youth valuable skills, increasing their self-confidence and creating social change.
In Toronto, the LGBTQ+ Settlement Support program, supported by United Way, is helping LGBTQ+ newcomers overcome unique challenges and find a supportive community in Canada.
Together, we can stand united against hate and intolerance, and embrace the wonderful diversity that makes our communities vibrant, healthy and strong.

President of Sprint business tells us about 5G, T-Mobile, robots
At CES 2019, president of Sprint business Jan Geldmacher sat down with Android Authority.
C. Scott Brown
Latency is the most powerful aspect of forthcoming mobile 5G networks, says Jan Geldmacher, president of Sprint Business, and may usher in the true age of the internet of things.
Smartphones became truly powerful after the dawn of 4G networks. The improved speed and capacity of LTE 4G connections gave phones the juice to power myriad applications and services. It was a watershed moment.
Now, nearly a decade later, the industry has reached another landmark: the launch of 5G. It's easy to overhype 5G, and Geldmacher didn't want to overdo it, but it's safe to say he's excited about the possibilities.
5G has arrived - here's what you can expect from Sprint
Latency — the time between when a device makes a request over the network and receives a response — falls in the 10 milliseconds to 100-millisecond range in LTE 4G networks. Along with gigabit speeds, one of the key improvements of 5G is to drop latency down to one to five milliseconds. This may not sound like much of an improvement, but it is.
Think robotics and automation. Geldmacher said Sprint is working with Boston Dynamics to see how well robots can be controlled remotely. The low latency allows a controller in Boston to safely operate a robot located in Pittsburgh, for example. This isn't yet possible with 4G. Similarly, Sprint is working with a handful of companies in Greenville, South Carolina, on autonomous vehicle technology, and in Peachtree Corner, Georgia, on air-based projects.
With latency essentially eliminated, 5G represents a paradigm shift in what things can do.
That doesn't mean smartphones are going away. Geldmacher believes smartphones will continue on indefinitely in one form or another. He didn't want to speculate too much on what that form might be, though it's safe to assume smartphones will become even more powerful than they already are.
T-Mobile Sprint Merger: Everything you need to know
Geldmacher also noted Sprint is ready to go it alone should its proposed merger with T-Mobile fails to be approved. The deal has been given the green light by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. but is still awaiting approval from the FCC and DOJ. Should everything work out as Sprint hopes, the company believes combining T-Mobile's 600MHz low-band spectrum with its own 2.5GHz mid-band spectrum will give it the leverage it needs to fend off AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
(And yes, Geldmacher thinks AT&T is making a fool of itself by insisting that LTE is "5G E".)
Whether or not Sprint and T-Mobile merge, Sprint plans to launch a 5G phone with LG in the next few months, with a mobile hotspot and Samsung smartphone coming later in the year.
NEXT: 5G smartphones from LG, Samsung could launch in February, retail in March

Andre Iguodala can see his NBA career coming to an end in the not-too-distant future.
The 34-year-old Warriors forward knows retirement is on the horizon, and another championship run could have a major impact on his final decision.
"I'm going to be done soon," Iguodala told NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole. "I could probably play a legit five more years, but I'll probably max out at three more after this year - maybe three more.
"But if I'm not here, that will weigh heavily on what I will do. I possibly have another year here - if we win. That's it. I know that. I'm fine with it."
Iguodala throwing out the word "possibly" could raise some eyebrows considering he is under contract with Golden State through the 2019-20 season ($17.2 million salary). The 2015 NBA Finals MVP isn't too concerned about the rest of his deal, though.
"That's if we win," Iguodala said. "If not ..."
The counting stats don't do Iguodala any favors (4.5 points in 22.8 minutes per game), but they belie his impact on the floor and in the locker room. His versatility gives Warriors head coach Steve Kerr options with his rotations. He was an invaluable piece of the original "Death Lineup."
It's also important to remember Iguodala becomes a different player in the postseason. Golden State performed significantly better with Iguodala on the floor during the 2018 playoffs, particularly on the defensive end.
He might coast a bit during the regular season as the Warriors monitor his minutes, but Iguodala is typically on the court for the moments that matter. He contributes while staying within himself and understands his role as well as any player in the league.
"It's all about that balance," Iguodala said. "Sometimes, I have to be the guy that says, 'OK, we've got to play the right way.' If that means I've got to pass up some shots to make sure everybody else is in the right flow, has the right mindset and is getting their touches, so be it - as long as I know that's going to help us in the long run."
How much longer will that run last? That's the big question for Iguodala and the Warriors.

Intern post: Nature Play Brings New Adventures to the Sue Reichert Discovery Trail
By Franny MeLampy
As one of the youth education interns at Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum, my summer project focuses on nature play and the Sue Reichert Discovery Trail. The Sue Reichert Discovery Trail is an important place for the education department at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The trail was made possible by a gift from Rudy Reichert and family in memory of his wife, who was a docent at Matthaei and who loved nature education. Today's docents give many tours to groups who visit the gardens, and often use the trail as a place to explore and invite curiosity about the natural world. With its many recognizable natural markers such as stately trees and Willow Pond, the Sue Reichert Trail is a great place to learn about nature, and the many possibilities of utilizing this trail for education have expanded over the years.
As the importance of nature play becomes better known in the environmental education community, implementing nature play as a feature of this trail is the next venture in increasing the trail's educational opportunities.
The Sue Reichert Discovery trail has many areas, such as the tree stump story circle, bug meadow, the ginkgo grove, and view scopes over Willow Pond. Despite its position front and center when visitors arrive at the grounds, the trail is an underutilized area of Matthaei Botanical Gardens for visiting families. Expanding the trail's impact for visitors is an ongoing mission for the education department and summer interns, and including nature play in that mission is an exciting new prospect.
Nature play is increasingly seen as an important part of growing up, and experiences in nature—getting dirty, building forts, investigating—are now often viewed as beneficial activities for children. These are the kinds of experiences that can help build environmental leaders by fostering connections with nature early in life, as the author Richard Louv wrote about in his book Last Child in the Woods.
You've arrived at the Sue Reichert Trail.
The trailhead sign shows what the many stops around Willow Pond have to offer.
Plants large and small along the trail are exciting to explore, as these students with a cattail discover.
Opportunities to explore abound on the Discovery Trail. What waterfowl can you spy using the view scopes?
What stories can a tree stump in the Story Circle tell? This area invites visitors to sit for a while.
What discoveries will you make along the Sue Reichert Discovery Trail?
Nature play is already a part of our youth education program, and is a large focus of the Gaffield Children's Garden. However, there are more areas around Matthaei that could use the ideas behind nature play to improve visitor interactions. The Sue Reichert Discovery Trail can be used as an immersive way to explore a more natural environment, and its diverse areas are ideal for kids who may not have the opportunity to experience nature back home. Because the trail has such a variety of features, it allows kids to experience a forest, meadow, pond, and other habitats in under a half mile of trail. This diversity of ecosystems makes the trail a truly unique part of the botanical gardens.
The main goal of nature play that my project focuses on is helping families and kids discover nature. The underlying outcome of nature play is the establishment of wonder, curiosity, and a love for nature that is difficult to teach using traditional methods. Letting children observe nature, learn about how it works, and interact with it can help foster this type of connection to the environment. The Sue Reichert Discovery Trail is a great place to do this, and my project will take advantage of the many large trees, areas to sit, places to run and hide, and wildlife to look at. Feeling connected to nature is the aim of nature play, and incorporating it into the Sue Reichert Discovery Trail could have many positive impacts on families who visit Matthaei Botanical Gardens during a young child's life.
Franny MeLampy is a recent graduate from the University of Michigan and is interning with the Education Department at Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum. With her love of nature and teaching, she hopes to encourage visitors to explore more of the trails and gardens at Matthaei this summer. Franny was born and raised in Ann Arbor, and loves all the natural spaces the city has to offer. Her internship was made possible by a donor who supports research into the effectiveness of children's gardens in engaging children in nature play, and the actual design and implementation of workshops and other activities to facilitate family creating of nature play spaces at home or in home neighborhoods.

Kinney Shoe Corp v. Polan, 939 F.2d 209 (4th Cir. 1991), is a US corporate law case, concerning piercing the corporate veil.

Facts
Kinney Shoe Corp sued Mr Lincoln M Polan to pay money outstanding on a sub-lease by the "Industrial Realty Company". Polan wholly owned "Industrial", but had never held any corporate meetings or elected officers.

The question is whether Kinney could pursue Mr Polan for the debt.

Judgment
Chapman J quoted from Sanders v Roselawn Memorial Gardens, Inc. that the "fiction" of separate legal personality,

It emphasized that each case should be decided on its facts, and pointed to a number of relevant factors.

that Industrial was not adequately capitalized (no capital had been paid in)
no corporate formalities, such as taking minutes or electing officers, had been observed
it appeared that the company was deliberately used to carry out transactions to benefit another of Mr Polan's companies, which had assets but would be shielded from liability

He concluded by saying,
