Gifted medical doctor and religious sister, Australian-born Mary Glowrey, JMJ will be declared a Servant of God in India next week signalling the start of the diocesan phase of the process which eventually may result in her beatification and canonisation.
Beloved, selfless and said to radiate Christ by word and example, Sr Mary Glowrey could well become Australia's next saint.
"It is my pleasure to let you know that on Wednesday , 27 March, at the Chrism Mass in the Diocese of Guntur, India, Bishop Gali Bali will declare Dr Sister Mary Glowrey 'A Servant of God,'" the Most Rev Denis Hart, Archbishop of Melbourne and President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference announced this morning.
The preliminary phase of the cause of canonisation of the gifted doctor who spent 25 years as a Medical Missionary with the Congregation of the Society of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, a Dutch order of Religious Sisters, commenced in Bangalore, India three years ago. This initial phase involved a careful examination of her work and writings together with her religious life and now progresses to the next phase on the way to beatification and possible sanctification.
In 2008 members of the Catholic Women's League of Victoria and Wagga Wagga, of which Mary Glowrey was the Founding President, began working closely with the Society of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in India preparing for the commencement of the initial steps towards Beatification.
Two years ago, in December 2010 two months after the canonisation of Australia's first saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Archbishop Hart announced the preliminary phase of the Cause for Canonisation of Mary Glowrey had commenced in Banglalore, India. Now less than 18 months later the next phase begins.
Born on 23 June 1887 in Birregurra, Victoria – about 135 km west of Melbourne – Mary Glowrey was the third of nine children. Intelligent and eager to learn, she did well at school and by the time she left her outstanding academic accomplishments had earned her a cash scholarship to begin studying for a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. However after a great deal of prayer and the encouragement of her father, Mary switched to Medicine, an unusual choice for a woman in those days. By 1910, one year after the death of fellow Victorian and religious, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, she graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.
In addition to St Vincent's Hospital she also worked at Melbourne's Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
Mary's religious vocation came in 1915 after attending Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral, when by chance she happened to read a pamphlet about the appalling death rate amongst babies in India, and the urgent need for medical missionaries there. The 28-year-old fell to her knees and knew that God was calling her to a life of medical mission work in India. But with the world in the turmoil of World War I, she had to wait until the global conflict ended before she would be able to travel to India and begin her mission.
Despite her spiritual humility and natural reticence, the following year Mary was elected founding president of the Catholic Women's League of Victoria and Wagga Wagga in 1916 and led this inspiring group of young Catholic women seeking to change society through prayer as well as action.
During this time, she also studied for a higher medical degree with an emphasis on obstetrics, gynaecology and ophthalmology, and in 1919 graduated as Doctor of Medicine.
Finally in 1920, the war well over and shipping lanes open once more, 33-year-old Mary sailed for India where she joined the Congregation of the Society of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Guntur.
The remainder of her life until her death in 1957 was spent ministering to the spiritual and medical needs of the people of India, particularly the poor. Her love of India, its culture and its people led her to explore traditional Indian medicines and to use these as part of her medical arsenal.
Recognising the need to promote the Christian use of medicine, in 1943 in the midst of World War II she founded the Catholic Hospital Association of India (CHAI) and several years later established a Catholic Medical College in India to train health professionals both in medical care as well as in Catholic teachings and the understanding of the inviolability of human life.
Throughout her life she was said to radiate Christ by word and example. According to those who knew her she never attempted anything without first praying to the Holy Spirit, knowing that with the help of the Holy Spirit all things are possible.
For the final two years of her life, she suffered excruciating physical pain which she bore with extraordinary courage and patience.
Mary died in Bangalore on Sunday, 5 May 1957. She was 70 years old.

Charleston: Charming, Cultured, Cultivated (And Fortunately, Not Curated). A Travelogue
Quick: What do you know about Charleston, South Carolina, that is.
Well, we didn't know much about this colonial coastal city until we spent five days there earlier this month. We knew there would be lots of history, great food and Southern heritage in this Low Country town known as "The Holy City."
But we didn't expect to be somewhat overwhelmed by just how charming, cultured and cultivated we found Charleston. So what follows is a stream-of-consciousness account (in modern poetics this could be considered "lyric poetry" — I am in the graduate program for English, you know) of our trip to Charleston, followed by some original images.
From the steps of our hotel, I counted four church steeples, some with spires rising majestically to the heavens
in the distance I view three construction cranes, all a safe distance outward.
The first morning; a walk along Calhoun Street to the Fort Sumter National Monument
a dozen or so people wished me "good morning." I didn't have to ask.
A decidedly human scale with 18th and 19th century structures not repelled by the modern,
harmony between the Guilded Age and the digital.
Low Country cuisine, honest and unadorned, subtly delicious,
no places named for false royalty or known by AU/curved symmetrical structures.
Within the peninsula, a sense of decorum, unhurried,
thoroughfares like Zig Zag Alley leading nowhere and everywhere.
Flora, subtle but majestic at times, in full bloom,
emerges to buffer the persistent breezes.
The honest greeting of an honest server,
proud to share history on the restaurant that once was a church for longshoremen.
Designer names equitably share King Street
with Asian noodle shops and a haphazard liquor store.
Stately and elegant, woven into the quiet fabric,
College of Charleston, seat of learning and culture.
The muscular side, cargo vessels in the harbor,
honor the colonial heritage.
Solemnity, most of the time,
broken by church bells, seemingly from all directions.
(Okay, had enough? Enjoy the images below. Visit Charleston soon. There's a lack of pretense, but an abundance of reality.)
Handsome buildings like this one are everywhere.
Many private homes have impeccable small gardens.
A view of the quad at the College of Charleston, voted as one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation. I would agree.
Charleston Bay is an active port.
This classic structure was completed in 1879 and is still in use.
The world's biggest pineapple? No, a very cool fountain in Waterfront Park along the east bay.
Read closely, and you'll learn that Charleston was once one of the busiest ports in the colonies.
Why is Charleston called the Holy City? Yes, there are a lot of cool, well-maintained churches. But also, the peninsula was a bastion of freedom for many religions.
Just outside of Charleston, one can get a glimpse of the country life. This image was shot at the Magnolia Plantation.
Yes, the azaleas were in bloom during our visit. We found these everywhere.
Yes, right there on the grounds of many churches; final resting places for Charlestonians.
The view from the Fort Sumter National Monument.

Experts Reveal Their 5 Biggest Tips For Teaching Your Partner How to Give Better Oral Sex – POPSUGAR
The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries.


In the spring of 2009, I had the honor of having my short story "A Simple Question" named the winner of the 2009 Hornblower Appreciation Week story contest held by Scaryfangirl.com. I have allowed, I think, sufficient time for that site to have had first rights to it and now post it here.
It was just at breakfast-time that the dispatch came from the Admiralty. Hornblower tore it open and read it through once, then twice. He looked up as a slight sound attracted his attention: Barbara had entered the room. By the mercy of Providence he remembered to look apologetic.
"I've received orders, dear," he said. Barbara turned a bright glance upon him.
"When do you leave?" was all that she said, with a great deal unsaid. Hornblower knew the smile she gave him to be artificial, and a great wave of tenderness welled up in his breast at her steady cheer. She knew her duty as well as he knew his.
"You've time for breakfast," Barbara said firmly. "Brown will need to pack and to make ready the carriage."
Hornblower distractedly ate and drank, his mind already whirling with thoughts of the assignment. Since the abolition of the slave trade, smuggling had gotten acute in West Indian waters, and the Admiralty were dispatching a squadron of a half dozen ships with orders to Hornblower to patrol them. He was to capture as many ships as possible, freeing the slaves and arresting the captains, if they were British. And first there was the matter of getting his ship to the West Indies, a long voyage even if the weather cooperated. Brown slipped into the room, not quite unobtrusively. Hornblower looked up.
"Brown," he snapped, "Get word to the dockyard at Sheerness. I'll want Bush as captain in the Regina if he's available." He knew full well that Bush was available. He also knew that Bush was as valuable in battle as any man, wooden leg aside. He had a sudden, vivid memory of Bush cutting loose the foretopmast sail during his engagement in Lydia with the Natividad. It would be trying in the extreme to have anyone else as his captain.
It was astonishing how quickly time passed when he was in a ship. The journey had been unremarkable, with only one engagement, which would make Hornblower, he suspected, some thousand pounds to the better in prize money. Bush had kept the men busy; he was punctilious about exercising them at the guns and at their stations for sail drill so that they need not become idle.
Here in West Indian waters, the weather was heavenly, the seas gentle, and they had already succeeded in swooping down on two big slavers. One they had captured as a prize – that would fatten Hornblower's purse still further – and one they had sunk. Hornblower was far gloomier about the latter, not for the loss of prize money but for the loss of life. They had recovered only a dozen men, and no women or children. But the fool captain had set his own ship afire. Hornblower hoped, as unreligious as he was, that there was a place in Hell reserved for such a man.
A shout attracted his attention. "Sail ho!" Hornblower snapped open his glass. It looked like a slaver, and a few hours' sailing, with the wind steady, would bring them up to it.
This particular captain, whoever he might be, was both stubborn and fiendishly clever. He seemed to anticipate the Regina's every move and meet her. His gun crews were well disciplined, and Hornblower came to fear that the engagement might last until both ships were reduced to their constituent parts. There seemed to be no end in sight. Already he had lost a dozen men that he could see. There was no telling how many wounded would die. Who the devil was the captain in the Rose Marie? Luckily he had at least as clever and equally stubborn a captain in Bush, who anticipated the Rose Marie'severy move in turn, all but danced away from her across the water just in time, and narrowly avoided shots that would have taken out her mainmast several times.
At last, in the fading light of the second day, the Rose Marie hauled down her colors. This captain seemingly had enough dignity not to put his pistol to his own head, as had happened with the first slaver the squadron had encountered. When the captain swung himself wearily aboard the Regina, however, Hornblower received the shock of his life.
For all his desire to maintain a façade of imperturbability about himself for the sake of the men, Hornblower felt his mouth drop open and the color drain from his face. He gaped like an imbecile for some long seconds before he was able to speak, fatigue and shock combining to momentarily deprive him of speech.
"Mister Cleveland," he managed at last, hoarsely. The stout red-faced captain who stood squarely before him had shared the midshipmen's berth with him in the old Justinian and in Indefatigable.
Cleveland lifted his plump chin and gave Hornblower a steady look. "Commodore Hornblower, sir," he said shortly but with faultless correctness. He nodded curtly and allowed himself to be led below.
In a daze, Hornblower gave orders for the berthing of the slaver's crew and the appointing of a prize crew for the Rose Marie, to be steered to any English port and for her pitiful cargo to be set at liberty. In a daze, he stumbled below, snapped at Brown, slammed his cabin door shut and sank onto his cot, his head swimming. Before he had a chance to sort out the strangeness of the episode, however, fatigue overtook him. He had neither eaten nor slept for some thirty hours, and within five seconds he was snoring.
He was immediately deep in sleep; he did not hear Brown tiptoe into the cabin. He slept while Brown's powerful arms eased him upright and supported him while tugging off his coat. He slept as Brown undid the neckcloth and unbuckled the sword-belt. He slept while Brown carefully pulled the pistol from Hornblower's waistband. He slept while Brown pulled his shoes from his hot and swollen feet. He slept as Brown unbuckled the knees of Hornblower's breeches and peeled off the ruined stockings and wiped his master's feet with a cool wet cloth; and when Brown at last gently laid a blanket over the sleeping form Hornblower merely sighed deeply and in his sleep tugged the blanket up to his chin.
His sleep was deep and dreamless and restorative; but when he woke before dawn, he was in no clearer mind about what to do than he had been the evening before. Automatically he shaved and dressed and went up to the quarterdeck. He paced, head bent in thought, hands behind his back, for his allotted hour, and while he paced, duty and compassion warred within.
He had not seen Cleveland in twenty years and knew nothing of the circumstances that had led him to abandon the King's service and join a slaver. It had never even occurred to Hornblower before to think about how one took up that despicable line of work. His stomach churned at the mere thought of having to bestow a well-earned punishment on one of his own men; still less could he stomach the thought of hundreds of pitiful souls abruptly yanked from their native soil and packed into inhumanly tight berths, to be shipped off to some far distant land and worked nearly to death.
He deliberately turned his thoughts from the misery of the slaves and instead racked his memory for what he could recall of Cleveland, which was hardly anything. Cleveland had insulted him in his first moments aboard Justinian. Hornblower could still recall vividly Cleveland's round, immobile face, framed with those side-whiskers, and the small eyes narrowing at the sight of the pale, soaked, gangling newcomer. "If you wanted to be a seaman, boy, you should ha' started at twelve," Cleveland had sneered. But once Hornblower had proved himself able to survive the depredations of Jack Simpson, Cleveland had let him alone.
He was not bright and could hardly ever get his arithmetic right, let alone more complicated navigational challenges. Most of what he knew, he seemed to know by instinct and experience, and Hornblower was not altogether sure, now he reflected on it, that Cleveland could read. It was reasonable to assume that Cleveland had not made much progress out of the midshipmen's berth, else surely life aboard a slaver could not have tempted him. What in God's name had made him take up such despicable work? Hornblower had known plenty of men hardened by war and immune to showing any humanity toward their fellows, but somehow Cleveland, with his native shrewdness, had not seemed likely to be one such man.
Hornblower sighed deeply as the bell tinged eight times. He cleared his throat and walked over to where Bush stood on the lee side.
"Good morning, Captain Bush," he said formally.
"Good morning, sir," Bush said, cheerful as ever. It was not his responsibility to decide what to do with the captain of a slaver; although if it had been, Bush would have hastened him to trial, and would have believed stoutly and sincerely that the man should be hanged, and quickly. If the abolition of the slave trade was the law of the land, Bush would be all in favor of a hanging serving as an example to anyone foolish enough to think it a tempting profession.
Hornblower opened his mouth, then shut it and went below. Glumly he washed himself and drank his coffee. "Have Cleveland brought in to me," he snapped at Brown. When his erstwhile shipmate arrived, Hornblower took no pleasure from his haggard appearance. He was pacing in the few steps allotted him behind his desk and stopped abruptly to fix Cleveland with a hard and merciless gaze.
"Oh, sit down, man, for God's sake," he rasped. Cleveland looked as though he would fall over if he had to stand for much longer. Hornblower glowered at him and drew a deep breath.
"You arrested me, sir," Cleveland retorted. Of all the damned cheek, Hornblower thought, even as he half admired the man's spirit.
Under Hornblower's unwavering stare, and revived with a ration of grog and ship's biscuit, Cleveland finally parted with his pitiful tale. It was much as Hornblower had suspected: weary of his inability to be made lieutenant, Cleveland had deserted one rainy night in Kingston, hiding in the thick forests. It was there that he happened to be amid a knot of men captured by a slave captain who, upon discovering that he had an experienced British seaman among his day's harvest, immediately put him to work. Cleveland, it seemed, had found nothing remarkable about the morality of such work and had quickly advanced in ability until, upon the captain's death, he found himself the owner of the Rose Marie. It mattered little to him whether the slave trade was licit or not: he was good at it and it made him a tidy profit – at least, until he had the misfortune to cross paths with the Regina.
At length, unable to get any more from Cleveland, Hornblower snapped, "Take him away," to the Marine sentry and sank into his chair. Undoubtedly Cleveland had violated the law against the slave trade. Undoubtedly he deserved to be taken to Kingston and hanged. Hornblower's stomach lurched horribly as he recalled the blinding sunlight, the boom of the court-martial's cannon, and the view from his cell of the noose being tested. Though years had passed since he had been on trial for his own life, it was not something a man as imaginative as Hornblower was likely to forget. If only … if only what? If only he had failed to capture the Rose Marie? Hornblower could scarcely wish that he had not done his duty. Hornblower closed his eyes and wearily rubbed the bridge of his nose with a forefinger. Who was on the West Indian station now? Montagu, that was it. The Duke of Manchester. Hornblower knew nothing at all about him and could not possibly guess what he was likely to do with the pitiful figure now in irons.
Hornblower sat at his desk, fingers drumming impatiently on the surface, and pondered the situation. His all too vivid imagination had easily put him in Cleveland's place. He could well picture how miserable he would have been in such a situation. He could easily conjure up the thought of life getting increasingly brutal as the war progressed and as Cleveland grew older with any hope of promotion steadily draining away – Cleveland was likely a few years older than Hornblower and probably had passed thirty still a midshipman. It was not in Hornblower to congratulate himself on his position; he was convinced rather that a dozen strokes of luck had brought him to the lofty rank of commodore and, with a shudder that ran right through him, realized that he could easily be an embittered and desperate midshipman or lieutenant today. Would he, could he, have deserted? He thought not; but he understood that Cleveland could.
He sympathized as well with the few options available to Cleveland in Kingston. No doubt work aboard a slaver had seemed as good a possibility as any; and Cleveland probably had not had any kind of upbringing that would have condemned slavery. Hornblower doubted that Cleveland had even heard of William Wilberforce. He even entertained for a moment that Cleveland did not know that the slave trade had been outlawed before putting the outlandish thought aside. News traveled. And Cleveland had been aboard a slaver for at least, Hornblower guessed, the last four or five years. He knew. And, knowing, he plied his trade nonetheless. And it was his trade; he had been made owner and captain of the Rose Marie, and he willingly practiced his profession in spite of its illegality.
But was it really a wrong thing? Hornblower believed both legally and philosophically that the slave trade was not only wrong but abominable. He counted in his favor, however, an upbringing in church, despite his present skepticism; and an education that had introduced him to philosophy and reason. He could think through complexly layered questions; could see complexity in questions that might appear blindingly simple to others.
The simple question was whether Cleveland had broken the law against the slave trade and should be hanged in punishment for it; the simple answer was that he had and he should. Bush would not for a moment have struggled with it. Nor, Hornblower reminded himself, might Pellew or Cornwallis. But he, with his confounded imagination, seemed unable to make a simple question a simple question. Certainly he ought to deliver Cleveland to Kingston and hand him over to Montagu. Why the devil was he even thinking it over? Duty was paramount, Hornblower reminded himself sharply. His duty was to round up rogue slavers in the West Indies. On countless occasions he had put duty before all else, including before Maria and Barbara. He had put duty before comfort and convenience, certainly; he counted those as worth not a farthing in the balance. He had put duty before chances at promotion and prize-money; with a wry grin he remembered that business of old about Droits of Admiralty. And at any rate, he certainly had no claim to friendship with Cleveland; only a handful of memories from twenty years ago when he had been but a child.
He pulled himself up with a jerk. He could hear as though it were yesterday Cleveland's voice, sharp and desperate: "That's enough, Jack, you'll kill him!" The temper that Simpson had been in could easily have been turned on Cleveland for thwarting him; Simpson had disliked being thwarted. And Cleveland no doubt had suffered Simpson's petty tyrannies. It had been dangerous to speak up. Cleveland had scarcely known Hornblower at the time – perhaps did not even remember his name. Sympathy for poor instinctive dumb Cleveland warred with a deep visceral sympathy for the slaves who were now on their way to Kingston, who perhaps even now had been set free. They had had an advocate – Hornblower, a King's officer. Cleveland had never had an advocate – did not have an advocate now.
Hornblower sat and listened to the rain lashing the ship. He heard Bush's bellowed orders to shorten sail. Then came the hail of an approaching boat. The expected knock at the door.
"Very well," Hornblower said wearily. "I'll come. Wait," he added. "Bring the slaver's captain in to me." He got up and stood behind his desk and listened to the word being passed for Cleveland to come in to his cabin.
Cleveland entered. No longer did he look defiant, only sleepless, pale, and haggard. There was the look in his eyes of a haunted creature: his glance darted from side to side, and he took quick, anxious breaths.
Hornblower stared at him for a long moment as if forgetting why he had called him in. He started slightly at the expected knock at the door.
"Oh, very well," Hornblower snapped. At the threshold of his cabin he paused and glanced back at Cleveland.


Ivy Knitalong: Look what I wore to work today!
Look what I wore to work today!
Finished Ivy late last night. Wore it to work today to rave reviews. I just posted to my blog all of my notes and changes. Read on here: Truman Knits!
It's gorgeous, Meg! You did a fantastic job tailoring it to your measurements, the sleeves look like they're the perfect length. That is a really beautiful color, and your stitches look so neat. Thanks for the excellent motivation!
This was definitely the most complicated project I've worked on, but it was absolutely worth it. If someone finds themself getting stuck on it or discouraged, walk away from it. I suspect this would have been much more frustrating if I had tried to do it all at once rather than over several months. The sleeves were a lot of trial and error and more error. Keep going on your sweaters! You'll be so happy in the end! Trust me!
That is lovely Meg, a beautiful colour and really suits you.


While breaking down each draft class under GM Jim Nill, SportsDay is also going to be taking a look at some prospects Dallas probably regrets passing.
We'll go through every draft under general manager Jim Nill from 2013-2017 up until the 2018 NHL draft, which is taking place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on June 22-23.
Note: This isn't a re-draft. The players examined at each pick were taken around the time the Stars drafted in that round. Scroll to the bottom to vote on which player you'd like to have drafted the most.
In the three drafts leading up to this one, Dallas spent nine of its 20 picks in the 2010-12 drafts on defenseman like Patrik Nemeth [gone], Jamie Oleksiak [gone], Ludwig Bystrom [gone], John Klingberg [not gone...bless up 🙏] and Esa Lindell. That might be why the Stars used just two of its nine selections in the 2013 draft on defensemen.
If they had opted to go for a defenseman with their first pick of the first round, Morrissey would've been a good bet. He's played 163 of a possible 164 games the last two seasons with the Jets as a 20-minute-per-game player. That's a solid get for a player picked No. 13 overall by Winnipeg.
If Dallas wanted to stay with taking a forward at No. 10, Capitals winger Burakovsky could've been a good get. He shoots left [just like Nichushkin] and is about the same size [just an inch shorter and 3-4 pounds lighter]. He also didn't go to Russia and disappear for two seasons.
If we're strictly talking about guys in between Dallas' pick at 29 and 40, the top two names are some likely candidates. Both are forwards with more experience than Dickinson has, but de la Rose isn't much of a scorer [19 points in 199 games].
Another center who has had some success at the NHL level is Copp, who has seen his point total rise all four years of his NHL career. Bjorkstrand has really come on strong in his third year in the league notching 40 points in his third season.
The best out of this whole group might be Guentzel, who has tallied 81 points in just two seasons with the Penguins.
In terms of NHL success at this point, this wasn't a great draft for goalies. The top goalie picked was Zachary Fucale by Montreal in Round 2 at pick No. 36. The goalie with the most NHL games played is Juuse Saros [picked Round 4, pick 99], and he's appeared in just 48 games.
Dallas eventually got Janmark in a trade with Detroit for Erik Cole, which might be one of Jim Nill's best trades as Dallas' GM.
Which one of these players do you wish the Stars had drafted in 2013?

Here Are the Best Covers of Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off'
From Kendrick Lamar to Kelly Clarkson (with President Obama in between).
By Alyssa Bailey
Every so often, a song comes out that's so infectious, everyone seems to be humming, singing, or shimmying to it ("Let It Go," we're still not over you)—and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is 2014's prime example. Even though T. Swift released the single back in August, viral covers are still popping up daily because like it or not, the song's THAT catchy.
From Kendrick Lamar's hip hop teaser to Kelly Clarkson's full-out gospel cover, here are the best takes on the Taylor Swift hit:

In what some would describe as very appropriate moment for a "Shake It Off" cover, the president "sang" part of the song during the Tonight Show last night. The number came right as midterm elections results rolled in, so hearing Obama say "shake it off" after the Democrats lost control of the Senate was very fitting.
Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan:
The two hosts covered the hit on their talk show before Swift made an appearance this week. The video is full of TV show spoofs (Downton Abbey, Orange Is the New Black, etc.) and celebrity cameos (Hugh Jackman, Kerry Washington, Emma Stone, and, you know, Taylor Swift…) It's the most star-studded cover yet.
Kendrick Lamar:
During a Fader interview, Lamar did a brief cover of the song's chorus—but not before revealing how much he appreciates the singer's admiration of him. "Shout out to Taylor Swift," the rapper said. "I enjoy great music outside of my own music all the time, so I definitely can see where she's coming from when she says that she listens to [my] record, and it's a great thing for her to acknowledge that and put that good energy out into the world like that."

Kelly Clarkson:
Clarkson went full gospel on Swift when she did her own cover. "Seriously, everybody gives Taylor such a hard time, but I can tell you, she can write a hook. I'm just sayin'," she told the crowd after performing. Swift tweeted the video as testament of her approval.
Walk Off the Earth:
Because every pop hit needs an indie spin, Canadian group Walk Off the Earth did a cheery riff of the tune on a beach. It doesn't get much more chill than shaking maracas against a picturesque sunset, amirite?
Meghan Trainor:
Trainor was one of the first celebrities to get attention for her "Shake It Off" cover, providing an acoustic riff as lovely as her mid-song pep talk to Taylor ("So Taylor, shake 'em off, don't let 'em get to ya.)

            }
            app.UseHttpsRedirection();
            app.UseAuthentication();

        }

A: You should pay attention to Middleware order , you should place app.UseAuthentication() before app.UseAuthorization(); . Modify your Configure class to :
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseCors("CorsPolicy");
app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
    endpoints.MapControllers();
});

My New Favorite Picnic SpotWhat today has been like so far.
I was looking over my most recent edition of PhotoJojo's Time Capsule (which, if you are a Flickr person, you really need to sign up for this) and the thing that struck me is that in some ways (mostly those ways documented by photos), this June looks really similar to last June.
Take, for example, the drive-in. The kids and I usually try to hit the drive-in at least once a summer (it's open year round here, but I am a delicate flower and daren't venture outside at night in the winter), but we don't necessarily try to get it done right in June. That is a coincidence (or, possibly, just an effect of how the movie industry plans their releases).
And then there is the celebration of Litha. Which is always in June. So. Not really a surprise, I guess. But we haven't necessarily always gone to the same beach over the years, and some of our celebrations have been more ceremonial than just running through waves and bringing home half the sand. But last year and this year we minimized. At the same… beach. So. There.
I'll never stop posting this picture. Sorry not sorry.
Bowling. (Which. Every time we go, or I blog about it, or think the word "bowling" I get this song in my head.) There is a nationwide program called Kids Bowl Free where you can sign up your kids for two free games each day of the summer. You only pay for shoes, and you can buy yourself a summer pass for only $25 to bowl with them. It's awesome. It's the only way I can afford bowling. We go a few times each summer, but the photos only happen in June, I guess, while the experience is shiny and new again.
But here's the oddest one. This is, apparently, the time of year where I lug giant books around with me and sit at the playground next to Trader Joe's and read while the kids play. And photograph myself doing it (what? 7 Days is always in June, too).

New Twitter Client Finally Allows Us to Edit Tweets
Posted by Aida Martin on March 14th, 2020
"Twitter's Brizzly Plus Comes With An Undo Button to Edit Your Tweets"
Twitter has finally included a feature that wills grants users to edit their tweets. The feature will arrive with a new addition which is called Brizzly Plus and will cost 60$ annually or 6$ for one month. The users have to purchase the subscription of Brizzly Plus in order to avail of its undo features.
Brizzly first came into existence in the year 2009 when it was launched to offer other sorts of utilities to the users. Now, it has been retained and updated with new features, including the Undo Button. The Undo Button offers a lot of options that users can set according to their preferences and comfort. Additionally, the best option of Undo Button is to set a delay time that will allow the users to send their tweets after the passing of the subsequent time. Let us examine the fact with an appropriate example; if the users set the time delay to 10 minutes, then their tweet will be sent after 10 minutes. At that time, they can easily rethink to edit or to cancel the subsequent tweet easily.
Similar to the following option, there are lots of other options to avail of Undo Button more thoroughly. Brizzly has also obtained a redo Button that will tweet your deleted tweet in case you have mistakenly deleted or edit your tweet. Brizzly also provides a feature of auto-deletion that allows users to set a time to remove their tweets. More clearly, they can delete their tweet even after a month automatically through this option. There is also a feature of Fave to Save that will stop the tweet through auto-deletion in case it reaches out to a maximum number of retweets or likes. Precisely, you can set the retweets and likes limit to execute Fave to Save.
Before thinking about creating Brizzly Plus, Twitter has already made up its mind to launch an edit button on Twitter. However, later CEO Jack Dorsey canceled the decision, and thus Brizzly Plus was recreated. Regarding the cancellation of Edit Button, the CEO of Twitter says that the edit button will probably vanish the purpose of Twitter. So, in reference to that context, they are launching Brizzly Plus with lots of similar features to Edit Button.
There are also various other options and features that Brizzly offers, and users must be quite mesmerized with them. These features are a must demanded aspect that users of Twitter are asking for a long time. Now, they have finally arrived, but somehow, it feels shocking that these features are kept under a price.

One of the most misunderstood procedures in dentistry is root canal treatment. If your dentist recommends this procedure, you might be quick to turn to the internet or other sources to learn about it. Unfortunately there is a lot of unreliable information out there, which can scare you away from needed treatment.
There are some common myths that circulate about root canal therapy. Instead of avoiding treatment, learn the truth about this procedure that may be the most effective way to save a damaged tooth.
Myth: Root canal treatment is very painful.
Truth: This procedure often serves to relieve pain instead of creating it. With the anesthetics and sedation dentistry available today, in most cases the procedure feels like simply getting a filling.
Myth: You don't need root canal treatment unless you are experiencing severe tooth pain.
Fact: Pain is not always present when root canal therapy is advised by your dentist. A tooth that has died may no longer trigger pain, but treatment is necessary to eliminate infection and save the tooth. Diagnostic tests are available to help your dentist diagnose tooth problems even when pain is not present.
Myth: The benefits of root canal treatment are short-lived.
Fact: This treatment provides durable and long-lasting results, potentially for a lifetime. Since the tooth is usually topped with a crown, it can be protected indefinitely.
Myth: Root canal treatment causes illnesses.
Fact: This is one of the most common misconceptions you might run across on the internet. Based on very old research that has been proven to be wrong, the myth still exists that root canal therapy might cause various diseases. Instead, root canal treatment is safe and only improves your oral and overall health.
Myth: Tooth extraction is an adequate alternative to root canal therapy.
Fact: Dentists agree that saving your natural tooth is almost always preferred over a traumatic procedure like tooth extraction. The benefits of keeping your restored real tooth are better than having a hole in your smile or requiring tooth replacement solutions.

McAleese: Liberals, we're still waiting for 'Real Change' on pardons
Samantha McAleese
Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Ralph Goodale. The evidence is in about pardons. What's he waiting for?	Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS
Support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government is dwindling. For some, the frustration stems from a lack of movement on much-needed criminal justice reform.
Five years ago, I (along with other members of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project) organized a public forum in reaction to the changes made to Canada's pardon system under the previous federal government. Academics, practitioners, and individuals with criminal records came together to talk about the impact of the reforms to the Criminal Records Act. People aired their grievances with the new (and more punitive) record suspension program and the barriers created by the lengthy wait-times, the eligibility criteria, and the $631 application fee for those seeking pardons.
It is now five years later and I still hear the same stories. I hear from people who cannot find work. I hear from people who cannot volunteer in their community. I hear from people who cannot find housing. I hear from people who just want to move on with their lives but who continue to endure punishment long after their sentence has ended.
Five years later and nothing has changed, despite a promise from our current government that things would. Despite two successful constitutional challenges (in Ontario and in British Columbia), despite two public consultations, and despite countless stories detailing the barriers to reintegration – nothing has changed.
Five years later and Trudeau's #RealChange government says it is waiting to make reforms based on evidence. The evidence is there. The previous pardon system had a 97 per cent success rate according to Public Safety's own reports, and it does not take much digging to find research that supports processes for sealing criminal records. In fact, a 2006 study from the United States upheld Canada's pardon system as a prime example of how to decrease the collateral consequences of punishment.
Additionally, the public consultation report from the Parole Board of Canada highlights how people with criminal records are prevented from accessing human rights protections because they simply cannot afford the exorbitant application fee. The second consultation report from Public Safety demonstrates that there is strong public support for a free and automatic pardon process.
All of this evidence is sitting and waiting for Public Safety Ministry Ralph Goodale and his team of policymakers, so where is that "real change" we were promised? What exactly is the hold-up on meaningful criminal justice reforms that will actually increase public safety and decrease our reliance on punishment and incarceration?
People with criminal records might be prevented from doing many things, but they can vote. If this government continues to demonstrate that it doesn't believe in second chances – then perhaps it doesn't deserve one either.

7 Tinder Tips – How to Use Tinder Like A Boss
Tinder Tips such as taking great pictures, and sending a good first message is no different from other online dating platforms. But how to use Tinder most effectively has some tricks you might not know about.
As curious professionals here at Personal Dating Assistants, we've learned how to use Tinder by managing profiles for hundreds of our members.
We've also hacked investigated how the enigmatic Tinder algorithm works behind the scenes.
How to use Tinder best? Here are our top 7 Tinder Tips;
1. Delete, and Re-Create Your Tinder Profile
You might not know how using Tinder as a new user grants a special boost. That's because they want Tinder users to have an exciting first impression. By giving new accounts preferential placement in swipe queues, new Tinder users get seen more frequently by existing Tinder users, resulting in more match opportunities.
You can claim this visibility bonus for yourself every few weeks by navigating to "app settings" -> "delete account" within the Tinder app. By deleting your existing profile, and re-creating it from scratch, you'll be flagged as a spanking new user, and the sparkling new profile bonus will be bestowed upon ye. The drawback, is that deleting your existing Tinder profile will also delete your existing matches on Tinder. So don't do this if you've still got quality matches in play!
2. Use a funny AND flirty first message
To distinguish yourself from the dozens, possibly hundreds of other guys that she's already matched with on Tinder, you need to stand out from the crowd, and you need to do it quickly. Because attention spans are shorter on Tinder, so is your window of opportunity. You need to move faster towards getting her number here, compared to traditional dating sites. The best way to do this, is to make her FEEL something. And the best way to do that, is to be relentlessly funny, and flirt mercilessly.
Many women don't even bother filling out the bio section on Tinder. But in reality, you have plenty of material to work with, just via her name, dating pictures, and job. Here's a few examples, based on beer girl pictured above;
"Wow. Nice green eyes & hair Ariel"
Even better if her eyes are blue, or her hair looks brown in person. She'll feel compelled to correct you, making her quite likely to respond. Anything that gets her invested in the conversation is always a good thing. Typing her name makes the initial ice breaker more personal.
"I'm not sure that black dress is safe for tindering. Good thing we're lovers in app only. Offline we'd make everyone at that park jealous."
Compliments her style, signals sexual interest, establishes a safe boundary for her to flirt behind, is humorous, and will spark her emotions. Calling out her location in her photo gives her an opportunity to talk about it.
"Looks like you love drinking beer. A girl after my own heart. Just promise not to get me too drunk and take advantage of me."
Establishes a common interest, and a funny role reversal; making her out to be the sexual aggressor.
"Also says you work at a school? If you were my teacher, I'd totally flirt with you."
Introduces a funny, flirty roleplay power angle (with her in charge, to feel comfortable) which she can ping off of.
3. Travel…Anywhere
If you've ever traveled to a new city and opened Tinder, you may have noticed a jump in your Tinder matches.
It's no coincidence. Similar to the boost for new Tinder users, the matching algorithm gives a boost to people who are swiping from a new location (physical location only; GPS location spoofing, and Tinders own "passport" paid feature don't provide the same effect).
Because of this travel boost, a common misconception guys have is, "wow, this new city is so much better for Tinder than where I live!". But in reality, this boost period is short lived. After a few days to a week, your match frequency on Tinder will settle back down to normal.
4. Create More Than 1 Tinder Account
Online dating is like fishing. Your dating profile is the bait. 1 dating profile = 1 line in the water. Why not double your match chances with a second profile? Or third?
Running multiple dating profiles on Tinder allows you to A/B split test the effectiveness of different angles, lead photos, and bios. At the same time.
For example, you could try one profile rocking a suit, with a bio about international travel, fine wine, and tickets to the opera in search of a date with a great dress. While on your second Tinder profile, you can try leading with a photo of you & a cute pet, with a bio written by said pet, ie;
"Hi. I'm making this Tinder profile for my human, Joe. Shh, he's still asleep. He enjoys long walks at the dog park. As far as humans go, he's pretty ok. If you guys match…we never had this conversation."
To made an additional Tinder profile, you'll need to create an additional Facebook account. 1 for each profile. Not to mention, logging in & out of multiple Tinder profiles can be a tedious, time consuming process. Which leads us to…
5. Outsource Your Tinder Efforts to Personal Dating Assistant
Let's face it. Managing communication to get consistent in-person dates from Tinder can be a part time job.
If you're thinking about getting serious, as far as Tinder tips go, outsourcing to a PDA can help manage communication with all your matches.
Because a consistent effort is the most important aspect of online dating success, a Personal Dating Assistant makes that effort FOR you. Resulting in more phone numbers, and fewer missed opportunities.
6. Use the Super Like Feature
This Tinder tip is unlocked when you buy Tinder Plus. It costs $9.99 – $19.99 per month, depending on your age, and the city in which you are located.
Clicking Super Like places your profile at the top of her swipe queue. This gives you a much better chance of matching with any given girl. However, your profile is still in competition with all the other guys who also clicked Super Like on her.
So how do you get the best shot at matching with the top women on Tinder?
7. Get TurboBoost for Tinder
TurboBoost inserts your Tinder profile at the top of every woman's swipe queue in your area. It runs in the cloud. It's fully automated, and required no swiping. The result is hundreds, to thousands of new matches on Tinder.
For guys who want the ultimate edge, and can afford it, TurboBoost is our top Tinder tip.

FCC Seeks to Keep the Wheels Turning
We checked in with Al Shuldiner, head of the FCC Audio Division
By Randy J. Stine
Published: May 21, 2020 ⋅ Updated: August 20, 2021
Al Shuldiner, chief of the FCC's Audio Division
Radio World talked with Albert Shuldiner, chief of the FCC's Audio Division, about how the commission was coping during the coronavirus shutdowns, as well as about various regulatory issues before the commission.
The commission effectively shut down its headquarters and moved to teleworking, like much of the radio industry. It sought to provide some relief to broadcasters, granting a series of waivers and extending the deadline for the quarterly issues and programs lists. It also eased the public file requirements placed upon broadcasters.
Chairman Ajit Pai said the commission was "acting quickly to make decisions" to help manage. During an online workshop in April, he said, "If there's one area where bureaucracies struggle most, it's doing anything fast. But during a pandemic, delays can be deadly. So the FCC has put a premium on making decisions as quickly as possible. We're talking days, not months or years."
Shuldiner said the chairman empowered the FCC's division leaders to make regulatory decisions without the layers of review typically needed.
He spoke with Radio World's Randy Stine in April.
Radio World: You spoke with NAB members recently in an online chat about what the FCC has been doing publicly and behind the scenes in regards to coronavirus. Radio has been especially hard hit. What should radio broadcasters know?
Al Shuldiner:The FCC staff is very aware of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on broadcasters and the severe economic impact this is having on the radio industry. We are looking at ways that we can provide additional regulatory flexibility to help broadcasters navigate through this crisis.
Where stations have been able to provide us with specific information that the pandemic has impacted their operations, such as where stations have been forced to stop construction because key personnel have been infected and are quarantined or where parts have been delayed due to supply chain disruptions, we have provided regulatory relief where we can.
Similarly, we have worked with stations facing extreme economic problems to adjust their operations to save money. I encourage stations that are facing problems to contact us if they have approaches that might help save jobs or avoid taking a station off the air.
We have not provided relief in response to generalized requests based simply on unspecified impacts of the coronavirus, but we are prepared to respond quickly when broadcasters provide specific information and documentation that they have suffered a significant impact. And stations do not need to worry about making formal proposals. A number of stations have contacted me informally by email, and we have been able to provide prompt relief with minimal administrative delays.
RW: Will the FCC forgive or delay collection of regulatory fees, for radio stations hit by the economic downturn? How about the current license renewal process?
Shuldiner: We are looking at options to help broadcasters get through this economic downturn. I know there have been questions about regulatory fees, which Congress requires the commission to collect. While we are unable to waive these fees, the Media Bureau has been working with the commission's Office of the Managing Director to help stations implement payment plans and to develop other relief to address cash shortages.
RW: Are there other postponements of deadlines or other regulatory processes? Are there Public File implications?
Shuldiner: The Media Bureau delayed the deadline for stations to upload first quarter issues/programs lists to their online public inspection files. For stations that were required to file renewal applications by April 1, 2020, we did not grant a blanket extension of time, but we addressed extension requests on a case-by-case basis. We processed about 25 of these requests and in all cases, each was granted the day it was submitted.
We and the Video Division will monitor developments leading up to the June 1 renewal application deadline. I expect we will address any problems for that date on a case-by-case basis as well. Similarly, we have been able to handle a few construction tolling requests on an individual basis. I think the biggest current outstanding question about deadlines is the status of FM translator construction permits scheduled to expire in January 2021.
We are looking at the ability of AM stations to make those investments right now and understand the need to provide more guidance on this issue well in advance of the deadline. I hope to have input for broadcasters early this summer.
RW: Do the FCC modernization initiatives continue during the COVID-19 outbreak, like possibly streamlining the license renewal process?
Shuldiner: We are fully engaged in all our work, including ongoing rulemakings. I am not aware of any changes that have been proposed to the renewal process, but we are actively working to complete our rulemaking on the local public notices that broadcasters must provide for renewal and other applications.
Our Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed a number of changes designed to streamline our existing rules. We received a lot of supporting comments from interested parties and expect to release revised rules before the summer. In conjunction with the ongoing work in that proceeding and in recognition of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on broadcasters, we recently waived the requirement for broadcasters filing renewal applications in June 2020 to provide prefiling announcements of their renewal applications.
We plan to continue to advance our important media modernization initiatives and to continue to provide the industry with regulatory relief where possible.
RW: The pandemic has led to a number of churches and other organizations doing local broadcasts to their parking lots. Have there been cases where you have relaxed Part 15 compliance?
Shuldiner: We have encouraged churches and other organizations that have asked us for permission to broadcast to an audience to use streaming or call-to-listen services, or to partner with an existing broadcaster rather than relying on Part 15 devices.
I was very interested to learn recently of an initiative where a broadcaster is working with local schools in the communities it serves to air lessons on AM and FM stations during part of the day to ensure children without access to the internet can continue to complete their schoolwork. Using existing stations for this effort avoids the need for special authorizations.
Also, often low-cost Part 15 equipment being offered to churches and other organizations is not legal for use in the U.S. A properly certified and labeled Part 15 device comes with a permanent, manufacturer-affixed label certifying that the device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and displays an FCC ID number. Those devices should be able to provide a service radius of up to 200 feet under ideal conditions. Anything claiming to provide service beyond that distance is likely in violation of FCC rules.
Although we have provided a very limited number of special authorizations for governmental entities and medical centers with a public health need to broadcast using power levels that exceed Part 15 criteria, we are not able to provide other organizations with licenses for larger coverage areas, due to the public safety and broadcast interference concerns.
RW: If the FCC allows that option, what can you say to radio broadcasters concerned about possible interference?
Shuldiner: We review all requests to ensure they are on channels that minimize the potential interference. Any special authorizations we provide are on a noninterference basis. And the stations we have authorized at this point are operating at power levels that are extremely unlikely to cause interference. However, we remain prepared to address any interference that arises and will work with broadcasters to address any problems they experience.
RW: New rules were put in place last year to streamline the sometimes contentious process of working out interference complaints around FM translators. Can you report on how that›s going? Has the frequency of complaints changed?
Shuldiner: We have seen some additional claims from stations, but my sense is that the volume is pretty consistent with what we have seen for the last few years. The new rules have not created a spike in complaints but have helped us weed out some of the less sustainable complaints.
In our experience, most interference problems can be resolved by the stations, and our new rules strongly encourage stations to attempt to resolve problems without the FCC. But there are cases where we have found real interference problems and taken appropriate action to remedy the problem.
In the most contentious cases, the parties often do not act reasonably and engage in an endless war of pleadings and accusations. This is not an effective way to work with commission staff or to resolve the matter. I encourage all parties to work with us to find productive solutions.
RW: We've seen at least one ruling where it appeared that the company raising a complaint had provided documentation but that the petition to deny was refused because they didn't follow every letter of the process. Is it possible the system is too stringent now?
Shuldiner: I don't want to comment on the merits of a particular case, but we think it is important for stations filing interference claims to comply with the procedural requirements we adopted. We believe that will help avoid invalid claims and avoid wasting time and resources for all parties.
RW: The comment period on allowing all-digital on the AM band has closed, and most of the comments were clearly in support. It seems likely that the FCC will confirm its tentative plan soon. What can you share with us?
Shuldiner: There were a number of comments and reply comments filed in that proceeding. It's a little premature to share the staff's thinking on the outcome of the proceeding, but the staff members responsible for that item are reviewing the comments and hope to have more guidance for AM broadcasters later this year.
"We do not view waivers as a workable solution for something as significant as a new class of service, particularly when there is an open rulemaking on the same topic." — Al Shuldiner
RW: What is the status of the FM Class C4 proposal? Is it possible a waiver approach could be used in the interim for those FM stations interested?
Shuldiner: Although a number of broadcasters have expressed support for a rulemaking on Class C4, there also has been significant opposition from other broadcasters, particularly on the issue of Section 73.215 of the commission's rules.
We do not view waivers as a workable solution for something as significant as a new class of service, particularly when there is an open rulemaking on the same topic. We will continue to study this issue to see if we can determine a way to proceed.
"We recognize the transition from CDBS to LMS has not been a smooth one. No one is more frustrated with the pace of the transition or the glitches we have experienced than me." — Al Shuldiner
RW: We are told by broadcasters they feel as if they are struggling with regard to Media Bureau databases for FM. Many filings have transitioned to LMS, but many CDBS records and fields apparently have not made the trip. Some broadcasters have found it necessary to run searches using both databases to be sure they pick up on all potential records, allocations and applications. What is the plan for completing this transition?
Shuldiner: We recognize the transition from CDBS to LMS has not been a smooth one. No one is more frustrated with the pace of the transition or the glitches we have experienced than me. I can assure you the Audio Division staff has put in a lot of hours to design and test the system, but sometimes we cannot anticipate all the problems.
It is important to note that information flows from CDBS to LMS but not the other way around. CDBS is still the best place to find older information, but anything that has been filed in LMS will not appear in CDBS.
Even with all of us teleworking, we are making good progress on the next phase of the LMS transition and hope to have the assignment and transfer forms working in LMS in the second half of the year. After that, we plan to transition our AM forms and historical information. As we move more and more functionality to LMS, the need to check CDBS will go away. But right now, it is best to check both databases for completeness.
I say thank you to all our users who have shown tremendous patience during this transition. But please do not suffer in silence — if people are experiencing problems, they should let us know so we can address them.
RW: One of the important tasks the Audio Division does is to process assignment and transfer applications for station sales. In January, one of your well-known attorneys who was responsible for supervising station sales, Mike Wagner, retired. Who in the Audio Division is taking Mike's place, and have there been any issues with the transition?
Shuldiner: Mike Wagner's retirement was a big loss for the Audio Division, but I spoke to Mike recently and was pleased that he is enjoying his retirement. In March, we were very lucky to have Chris Clark join the Audio Division from the Media Bureau's Industry Analysis Division. Chris is our newest assistant division chief and has taken over responsibility for the assignment and transfer application process. He also is involved in our ongoing license renewal process and other matters.
The staff's move to full-time telework in March made the transition a little complicated for us, but the overall transition has been pretty smooth, and the feedback I have received from broadcasters indicates our processing has not been an impediment to completing transactions. We are fortunate to have a skilled group, headed by Annette Smith, that can keep the process moving forward, even while working remotely. Chris and Annette are available to the public to answer questions and resolve problems relating to pending applications.
"We were told the FCC's move has been delayed from the end of June until the end of the summer, but we are waiting to see if the pandemic has any further impact on that schedule." — Al Shuldiner
RW: The FCC was scheduled to move from the Portals to a location north of Union Station in Washington, D.C., this summer. What is now the status of that, and do you expect to have any attrition of Audio Division personnel from the move?
Shuldiner: We were told the FCC's move has been delayed from the end of June until the end of the summer, but we are waiting to see if the pandemic has any further impact on that schedule. I don't expect any significant attrition as a result of the move. I know we have a few people that are getting closer to retirement age, so we may see a few retirements in the future. But we have been fortunate to have had a few engineers and attorneys join the Audio Division over the past year and a half. With that additional staff, we are well positioned to continue to handle our work even if we experience a little attrition from the move.
RW: Reasonable, accommodating and flexible. Several communication attorneys have used those words to describe the FCC in recent weeks. Do you sense a change in how some broadcasters perceive the FCC?
Shuldiner: I like to think that the Audio Division is always responsive and helpful. We have a tremendous group of talented and dedicated individuals. We cannot accommodate every request we receive, and sometimes we have to deny requests or take enforcement action against bad actors. But we try to be fair and reasonable.
The pandemic has allowed us to have more detailed discussions with broadcasters about individual needs and situations. And it has given us the room to be creative to find solutions to unusual and extreme problems. I hope we will be able to maintain that approach when we return to regular operations and that the radio industry will continue to view us as a resource that is looking for reasonable solutions.

Generally, this term means that the fruit of the olive tree was crushed exactly one time, the "first press." And additionally, it was a "cold" press – the temperature range of the fruit at the time it was crushed didn't exceed excess temperatures and not a lot of heat was applied. If the temperature is too high during the crushing process, the quality of the oil will suffer. Lower quality oils – those that aren't extra virgin – typically are the product of olives that were too mature at the time of harvest, sat too long after being picked before being milled, or sat too long in the malaxer at the mill causing oxidation and high heat.
First cold pressed is not a grade of olive oil, but a descriptor for how an extra virgin olive oil is made. In fact, in order to be extra virgin, the oil is required to have been not subject to any heat or abuse during processing. Otherwise, it can't qualify as extra virgin olive oil under standards established by the Olive Oil Commission of California and the USDA.

Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), a protein arginine methyltransferase recruited by several transcription factors, methylates a large variety of proteins and plays a critical role in gene expression. We report, in this paper, four crystal structures of isolated modules of CARM1. The 1.7 A crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of CARM1 reveals an unexpected PH domain, a scaffold frequently found to regulate protein-protein interactions in a large variety of biological processes. Three crystal structures of the CARM1 catalytic module, two free and one cofactor-bound forms (refined at 2.55 A, 2.4 A and 2.2 A, respectively) reveal large structural modifications including disorder to order transition, helix to strand transition and active site modifications. The N-terminal and the C-terminal end of CARM1 catalytic module contain molecular switches that may inspire how CARM1 regulates its biological activities by protein-protein interactions.
Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic study of isolated modules of the mouse coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1.

Kelly Loeffler's disastrous Senate term
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Updated 1:04 PM EST, Wed January 6, 2021
Kelly Loeffler: This election is 'a game of inches'
02:23 - Source: WGCL
- Source: WGCL
McCarthy voted against bills tackling drought. Hear constituent's messag
Appointed Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler's loss at the hands of Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) on Tuesday brings to an end one of the most ignominious Senate terms in modern memory.
Yes, there have been shorter tenures. (Georgia Democratic Sen. Rebecca Latimer Felton served for only a single day!) And, yes, plenty of other appointed senators have lost when they ran for election in their own right. (Like Arizona's Martha McSally, who lost in November.) But few – if any – appointed senators have so tarnished their personal reputation as Loeffler did in the year she spent in the world's greatest deliberative body.
Consider Loeffler's reputation when Gov. Brian Kemp appointed her to the seat vacated by Sen. Johnny Isakson (R) in late 2019: A prominent (and wealthy) businesswoman and a moderate Republican who Kemp clearly hoped would bolster his own political standing in the critical Atlanta suburbs heading into his 2022 reelection race.
In her earliest days in the Senate, Loeffler tried to position herself as just that: A successful businesswoman bringing some much-needed outsider perspective to Washington. In an ad she ran soon after being appointed, Loeffler touted her mantra "hard work and results really matter."
That plan appeared to go out the window in the spring of 2020, when Loeffler (and her husband) found themselves in the middle of a massive controversy regarding a series of stock sales just before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the American economy.
As CNN wrote at the time:
"Loeffler and her husband sold 27 stocks between January 24 and February 14 at a value of $1.28 million and $3.1 million, according to Senate financial disclosure records. They also purchased three stocks for between $450,000 to $1 million, including shares in Citrix, a software company used for teleconferencing that's one of the few that's gained value amid the coronavirus outbreak. Citrix's stock was $122.03 on February 14, the day it was purchased, and closed at $125.31 on Thursday."
Amid questions of whether her position in the Senate gave her advance notice of the coming catastrophe, Loeffler told Fox News at the time that she was "not involved in the decisions around buying and selling" of her stocks. While she continued to insist that she had done nothing wrong, Loeffler announced in April that she and her husband were selling off all of their individual stocks.
That episode seemed to mark a clear turning point in how Loeffler positioned herself politically. As questions were raised about the stock trades, Loeffler turned to accusations of socialism, of all things, to defend herself. This comes from a Fox News interview in mid-April:
"This was a political attack designed to take away from the issue at hand. And to use this outbreak to play politics. We have addressed this and taken extraordinary measures to make sure that we can't be attacked for our success. This gets at the very heart of why I came to Washington, to defend free enterprise, to defend capitalism. This is a socialist attack."
Uh, what?
THE POINT -- NOW ON YOUTUBE! In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe!
It only went downhill from there, as Loeffler tacked hard to the Trump right seeking to fend off Rep. Doug Collins, who jumped into the special election race in early 2020. (Collins was President Donald Trump's preferred pick to replace Isakson but Kemp went with Loeffler for the political reasons I mentioned above.)
To wit:
* Loeffler was quoted as saying there were "no" issues on which she and Trump disagreed. Asked whether that included Trump's misogynistic comments about women captured on an "Access Hollywood" tape, she said: "I'm not familiar with that." Ha!
* Loeffler ran a much-mocked TV ad in which she claimed to be "more conservative than Attila the Hun." (Yes, this really happened.)
* Loeffler, a co-owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, loudly objected to the league's decision to honor the "Black Lives Matter" movement. "@WNBA should stand for and unite around the American Flag — not divisive political movements like BLM that unapologetically seek to defund the police," she tweeted. In response, the Dream team (ahem) sported "Vote Warnock" T-shirts before games in support of Loeffler's opponent (and the now senator-elect).
All in all, Loeffler not only ran a remarkably bad campaign, but she also seemed to abandon the entire reason she was chosen in the first place. A moderate Atlanta businesswoman ran like a Trump conservative – and lost.
Stuart Stevens, a longtime Republican political consultant and a never-Trumper, put it best and bluntly.
"As someone who in past years has had to listen to major donor Kelly Loeffler going off on how the Republican party was way too conservative, it's hard to express the depth of her nothingness," he tweeted. "She makes Martha McSally look like Margaret Thatcher."

Dmitry Khvorostovsky was acclaimed recently at Latin America's most prestigious classical music festival "Servantino" in Mexico
The old Juarez theatre has never heard such stormy applause. After the concert, the singer shared his plans with the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. He is to give a performance in the Kremlin on Victory Day celebrated in Russia on May 9. At the end of May, Khvorostovsky will tour about Russia, from Moscow to Vladivostok, together with the Alexandrov military choir under the sponsorship of the defence ministry. Next autumn will see the singer giving concerts in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belorussia. "I'll sing wartime songs, which is what can be expected in the year when the 60th anniversary of the victory in the second world war will be observed. Though, it is quite possible that some other kind of songs will be on the programme as well," said Khvorostovsky. The singer is now busy recording his favourite Soviet songs. He praised many of his Russian colleagues but added that the Russian show business wants some improvement to rise to a higher artistic level. On May 28, 2004, Dmitry Khvosotrstovky gave a solo concert on Red Square which was equipped with big mirrors and super-powerful sound devices. The first part of the recital which was broadcast live to 37 countries was dedicated to most popular opera hits while the second one to wartime songs. Dmitry Khvorostovsky won world recognition after his victorious appearance in the 1989 TV BBC competition in Cardiff, Great Britain, where he was awarded the Best Voice title.
