We Got Two More BiS Previews!
While I'm not even going to comment on the latest BiS-related kerfuffle, I was pretty eagerly waiting for when they were going to do something more album-related than this ridiculous marathon business, and they delivered today.
Ska-core! How tremendously fitting in the context of what else is scheduled for today!
"Never Starting Song" is pretty seriously the tastier of the two; "Romeo's Heart" is a perfectly acceptable J-ballad, but it doesn't feel very much like a BiS song (even the "ODD FUTURE" realm), though it's all full of old-school pop moves that your nostalgia might enjoy.
Re:STUPiD is less than a month away, and we now have have five tracks from it. Like, literally have — just grab the download links from here; OTOTOY's slow as hell this morning and I got tired of waiting.
Right now, the album's kind of all over the place. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as it's intentionally all over the place and not just "we didn't know what we were doing." There's a little bit of edge and a little bit of balladry and some fun in the compositions, yeah, but I'll confess that I was waiting for an angrier venture overall — and we might get there! I just shudder at the thought of Pour Lui losing some of her edge now that she's over the age of 25.

The random ramblings of Penny
Representing West Moors WI at the WI centenary
Posted on June 7, 2015 by penny
In 2015 it was West Moors Women's Institute's turn to send a delegate to the National Federation's AGM. It was the centenary of the first ever WI being formed, so this was going to be a special AGM, and I was the very lucky person to be selected to go to represent West Moors. It was with great excitement that I arrived in Ringwood to catch the coach on 4th June.
Even leaving home at 5.30 am to get to the coach stop didn't dampen my spirits. There was a bit of a kerfuffle: we'd been told we'd get our tickets for the actual AGM on the coach – except they had been left at someone's house. So while the coach sped towards London, the organiser was being driven in the other direction to go home and get the tickets. We were to meet at Fleet services, where the coach was due to have a break for breakfast. We got to Fleet in good time, and then an anxious wait until the woman with the tickets finally arrived – but would we get to London in time?
We arrived at the disembarkation point in London with just ten minutes to spare. This would be tight timing anyway – but as the Queen, Princess Anne and the Countess of Wessex were all going to be at the AGM, we had been told to bring two forms of ID and that these would be carefully checked on arrival. And as we got closer to the Albert Hall, we could see a huge queue at one of the other doors. Luckily though, we walked past this huge queue to our door, and were waved through. Our seats were on the main floor of the Hall, and the Dorset Federation were seated together.
The day began with a number of reports, rather than singing Jerusalem because we were waiting for the Royal Party to arrive.
It was thrilling to be present when the Queen arrived, along with Princess Anne and the Countess of Wessex. We all sang God save the Queen: while I have sung this on many occasions, it was the first time I'd sung it with the Queen herself present. We also sung Jerusalem – it was great to sing it with 5000 other women. It is very different singing it as part of a huge crowd, compared to a few dozen at a typical West Moors meeting.
To start with the Queen and the other Royals were seated, and I was fascinated to see the Queen put her handbag on her lap: having heard that she uses her handbag to signal to her ladies-in-waiting, I was intrigued to know what this might signal. I soon realised that putting her handbag on her lap and searching through it meant "I'm looking for my spectacles, I'm sure I had them in here."
Her speech was impressive, covering how the lives of women have changed over the last 100 years, including women getting the vote, the first British women Prime Minister and women climbing Everest, and that the Women's Institute has made a real difference to many women's lives. Not surprising with the many years of practise she has had, she is a very good public speaker.
The Queen was presented with flowers, beautifully handed over in what could have been a textbook example of 'how to give flowers to Royalty' by a well-practised primary school age child,. The younger child giving flowers to Princess Anne was overwhelmed by the occasion and had to be accompanied by her mother. The third flower-giver was a teenager: but she thrust her bunch at the Countess of Wessex and flounced off stage. The Countess's surprised look and tiny gesture showed that while this was not how she normally expected to be given flowers, she was used to teenage moods.
I was really looking forward to the talk by historian Lucy Worseley. It covered the early history of the Women's Institutes, and how many of the early WI members had been suffragettes. I found it particularly interesting that the order of a typical WI meeting had been designed to teach women who to run public meetings, with committee business to give women a chance to learn how to act in public office, an educational talk and a break for tea and cake so that the women attending had a chance to gossip without interrupting the main meeting. It was intriguing to learn that Jerusalem was a suffragette anthem before it was used by the WI.
The resolution – about removing the separation between nursing and personal care – provoked much discussion. It seemed that while the meeting agreed with the general spirit of the motion, the wording wasn't right. After some discussion, it was proposed that the meeting moved on to further business: this passed, avoiding a vote on the main motion.
Then to lunch! I'd ordered a pack lunch from the Hall, and after collecting it, I went out into a glorious sunny June lunchtime. The Albert Memorial was surrounded by women in brightly coloured dresses, some in finery, some in less dressy outfits. But it was lovely to know that no matter who I was sitting next to, I had something in common.
There were two more talks, with Baroness Grey-Thomson describing her live as a para-olympic athlete and her elevation to the House of Lords. The other talk was from business woman Helena Morrissey, about her organisation which aims to get more woman at senior levels in business.
One thing that has clearly changed over the last few years is the use of technology. There were a number of venues with live streaming of the WI AGM, so as part of the day we had a video link with three of them.
We ended the AGM with the singing of Jerusalem and Land of my Fathers – we had Welsh Federation members behind us, and it was great to hear it being sung with proper Welsh pronunciations.
It was time to go to our coach and the drive home. We pulled into Ringwood at 9 o'clock: the end of a long day, but a very enjoyable one . Thank you to the members of West Moors Women's Institute for selecting me to go.

The downturn in Western Australia's property market has been more protracted than many of us expected. However, positive market sentiment is certainly gaining momentum.
Premier Mark McGowan was recently quoted in the media advising people in WA to 'buy a house now because the good times are coming back'.
Those 'good times' Mr McGowan referenced pointed to data reflecting an 1.1% expansion in the domestic economy in 2017-18 after four years of decline, along with the GST reform package that will provide a much needed boost to WA's economy.
Good news is also emerging from the mining sector, particularly as lithium production in WA expands exponentially.
Opposition leader Mike Nahan was similarly upbeat in his speech at last week's UDIA Industry Luncheon on achieving growth in WA. Mr Nahan said he had 'great faith in the future growth of Western Australia for a variety of reasons, beginning with the resource sector'. He noted the resurgence in gold, iron ore, nickel and lithium production and said the sector was already starting to experience a shortage of workers.
Further reinforcing this positive outlook, Bankwest Senior Economist Alan Langford said he was 'quietly confident' there would be a flow-on benefit to WA's property market thanks to the growth in the mining sector, potentially in six to nine months.
This boost in mining will attract people to the state, which in turn will result in increased demand for land and housing.
The UDIA is confident that a recovery is imminent given our recent analysis of Landgate settlement data which shows positive activity in the top and middle sectors of the market. Our research indicates that premium housing areas in Perth such as Mosman Park and Cottesloe have started to perform well, with strong housing demand and limited supply driving price increases.
In fact sales of properties prices $1 million and above in the central metropolitan region have recorded positive annual growth for both the March and June 2018 quarters.
In the central region there was 4.7% annual growth in the number of sales above $1 million during both quarters.
Turning to areas such as Belmont, Victoria Park, Canning, Fremantle, East Fremantle and Bayswater, indicators point to investors taking up small scale development opportunities in anticipation of the market lifting.
For example, Fremantle settlements for lot sizes between 751sqm and 2000sqm have had three consecutive quarters of solid growth, with a significant 31.3% increase in the June 2018 quarter.
Given all of this evidence, I am confident that WA is on a positive path heading into 2019.


Rick Kleyman of Plymouth, MN, has been running for 55 years and coaching high school for almost that long. Ran with Ron Daws and Buddy Edelen (both Olympic marathoners) in college.
His best track times ranged from 2:00.7 in the 800 meter to 9:59.4 in the 2-mile. His best road race times ranged from a 16:05 5K to 2:38:47 in the marathon. Road times all done after age 40. Last year, he ran a mile in 5:57 at age 69. Continues to run over 2,000 miles per year.

Positive Activities
Spring and Summer Update
In March we did our first sessions with Crucial Crew – a safety scheme for year 6 children, to prepare them for the transition to secondary school. Scenarios include safety on roads, railways, open water, electricity and a lot more.
Children visit each scenario in groups of 6-8 for a quick but intense 10 minute interactive presentation. All the children were sent home with a safety 'goodie-bag' which included a Billy's Wish branded projector torch pen and a safety promise card (a year 6 appropriate version of our anti-weapons pledge). Along with school visits and a workshop at Watford Football Academy, we spoke to over 1000 children from around 25 in a two week period in the middle of March!
Secondary School Visits
A lot of time is spent preparing for school visits: talking to teachers, making sure we deliver the right content for the schools' needs. In the summer term, as well as schools who are delivering our lessons, we addressed over 500 secondary school children. This included two hour workshops with year 7 and year 8 pupils at Longdean, assemblies in Kings Langley School and Ashlyns School and meeting with year 8 pupils at Adeyfield school as part of their active citizenship project.
Our assembly at Ashlyns was prompted by Berkhamstead Youth Town Council who wanted to support the young people of their town in the wake of recent knife crime. The focus was on peer pressure and how to stay safe. We were well aware that this was a sensitive time for the school and were relieved when feedback from the teachers was that we had pitched the message at the right level for this group of children at this point in time.
The assembly at Kings Langley was, in contrast, incredibly hard hitting. We had a guest speaker: leading trauma surgeon, Martin Griffiths. His talk was a no holds barred session, no one present can have been left in any doubt about the devastating effects of carrying and using knives. Some of the pupils and staff were visibly affected, but the feedback on social media was very positive. Parents reported that their children had come home and they had been able to talk frankly about what they had heard and seen.

Formulated with vitamin D and magnesium, both essential for maximising calcium absorption, these vanilla flavour tablets are easy and pleasant to chew. 60 tablets (2 chewable tablets per day). Free from Soya. Suitable for Vegetarians.


The name Sierra Leone dates back to 1462 when Portuguese explorer Pedro da Cintra discovered the peninsular mountains as he sailed down the coast of West Africa. Some say he named them 'Sierra Lyoa' (Lion Mountains in Portuguese) because the roar of thunder rolling over the mountains sounded like a lion, others say it was because of their shape, which resembled a crouching lion. Either way, the name stuck. An English sailor later changed the name to Serraliona and from there it became Sierra Leone.

any other aspect of the event for you.
Back when we started timing there was basically 3- 6 timers per state. Nowadays that number has exploded just like the number of events has.
At the end of the day you need to feel confident no matter what happens at your event that your timer can handle the situation.
Since we have produced and timed every type of event we have handled virtually every possible situation from extreme weather situations like a blizzard to a tornado to a complete downpour. When the "you know what" hits the fan rest assured we have your back, and then some.
Example, first year running event, the folks who hired us to time the event were clearly overwhelmed from the start, all of a sudden out of nowhere they get 400 race morning last minute walk ups. They only planned for 50, Annmarie stepped in at registration took control of the entire process and Kenny took control of the start area, then over to the finish area to accommodate the additional athletes and the event started on time without an issue. All 700 runners may not have received a shirt 😉 but they were all timed.


You might assume that children stay inside all day glued to their computer or games console. This infographic shows that they do indeed love technology but also get outside to participate in sport, visit art galleries, go to libraries and ride around on their bikes and skateboards. That's good news.
Designed to look like a sheet of school paper, this infographic creatively highlights the information.
The information shows just how children are spending their time and some of the statistics were surprising to read.

3 - These exercises online allow you to get more practice!
I encourage anyone who logs on to leave a comment.
Do let me know what you think about ONE of the videos.
I particularly liked the video about the 24 different accents. Australian is definitely my favourite!
I also watched the video about the different accents! I laughed alot about the Southern English from East London and also the Northern English from Liverpool mainly because i could barely understand what he said!
I have to say that the different accents one did catch my eye too. He was really good, I was very impressed! My favourite, though was the video about the french man learning english, so funny!
The 24 accents video is the best! The Russian accent is the funniest!
I have to admit that the video about the different accents was the funniest one in my opinion. It's so strange to realise that it's almost impossible to understand some of the accents, sometimes it doesn't even sounds like English at all! My favourite accent was the "Indian English" because I remembered the character "Apu" from "The Simpsons", quite funny!
I especially liked the 24 accents video, some of them are hard to understand.
The video I found most funny was undoubtedly the one about the French man learning English pronunciation. This video also shows how hard it can be to learn a foreign language.
I really liked the video about the different accents, it's quite interesting hearing them all.
I really liked the video, it shows that the English is different to learn from person to person.
I really enjoyed the video in which there are shown 24 different accents. I would say some of those are rather amusing. Indian is the best!
I watched the video about different accent and I was surprised about how many different version of the same language can exist! Interesting and funny!
I saw all the 6 Youtube videos and they're pretty interesting.
I have to agree with Mónica! The video about the 24 different accents is really amazing.
It's unbelievable and impressive the fact of that guy talking a lot of different accents! I'm amazed.
I loved the southern english (British English - Formal RP), the Russian accent, and finally the US American shouthern/redneck.
The 4th video is also interesting because it shows that we all need a language to communicate with each other, in this case, in terms of aviation!
The vídeo about the Future of English caught my particularly attention. The power of the English language and its spread woldwide made it a established and basic skill among the society. However, the money, success and influence of China are turning Madarin into a leading language for international relationships. Concepts such as education and technologies are being reconstructed. Eventually, Mandarin will overtake English as a língua franca.
I must say the video of the lad speaking in 24 different accents is by far the most amusing! Particularly enjoyed the Posh British and Irish ones. It's amazing how he is able to speak in so spot on in all those accents!
i loved the pink panther video. that accent really made me laugh!
It's amazing how we can have so many different accents from the same language, and the boy in the video is seriously the funniest ever trying to copy all the accents.
The differents accents are so funny and learn it is even funnier! I also enjoyed the movie about the future of the English, it's so surprising.
I specially liked the video about the 24 different accents. I`m amazed! But all of them made me laugh to be honest!
I watched the video of the Top 5 Most Spoken Languages in the World and I've got to say that I'm really impressed with the amount of countries that speak Mandarin.
Of all the videos the one that I preferred was the one about the accents. I found the redneck accent very funny. It made me laugh a lot!
The videos were really useful for our knowledge about this topic. My favourite one was the one about the future of English!! It was awesome!
I watched the video about the 24 different accents, very funny! Loved to see how he can imitate all different accents, liked specially the Scottish accent. The Indian, Japanese and Russian accent is really funny too!
I specially liked the video about the 24 different accents!!
The one that caught my attention right away was the first one, especially the part when the narrator describes how English became one of the world's most spoken languages through the Internet, also focusing in the aspect of multiculturalism.
I really enjoyed the video about the importance of English, due to the fact that it emphasizes the need to learn the language of communication.
I like the video about the top 5 spoken languages.
The video I found most interesting was the one about the top 5 most spoken languages. It's really good to know that there are so many people that speak my native language and by that, help to perpetuate the language in the history of multiculturalism.
I watched all the videos and I particularly enjoyed the one about the 24 accents. I was very surprised by how many different accents a language can have. It was really nice!
The video "Global language" clearly shows us how important English is and how urgent is to learn it because being able to speak English brings us more opportunities in the world of work.
Very nice videos and grammar exercises! Hope it will help me tomorrow!
Hi teacher as you know my class test was yesterday and I only came here today to leave my comment.. I saw all the exercises and honestly if I had come here earlier all of them would had help me in test, specially the ones about the phrasal verbs.. Next time I have to check the blog earlier, thanks for doing this for us!!

Unlocking the mysteries of the Sega Tote
As I ramp up for the release of Sega CD Summer, I'll be writing about the Sega Genesis and the Sega CD in a series of blog posts.
The Sega Genesis played an outsized role in my childhood. I cut my video game teeth on the Mattel Intellivision. For much of my childhood, other kids didn't believe that system actually existed because almost everyone else had an Atari.
In the days before "playing Nintendo" was a thing, people "played Atari."
We sold the Intellivison during a garage sale one year, earning enough money to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System. So, yes, we eventually "played Nintendo." The NES was truly a great system, but when I was ready to upgrade in the early '90s, I chose the Sega Genesis instead of the Super Nintendo.
I sold the NES through a classified ad in the Palladiun-Item and used the money to buy a Genesis.
When it came time to upgrade to the Sony PlayStation, I kept the Genesis. I simply couldn't part with it. Heck, I even had the Sega CD and the Game Gear.
For years, the Sega Genesis Model 1 and Sega CD Model 2 and their various games have been stored away. They still work, according to intermittent tests from over the years!
I loved that system. I even liked the Sega CD a lot, even though I realize no one consistently tapped its great potential. I discovered the Sega CD was pretty unpopular when the games started getting big discounts just a year or so after I bought it (Future Matt wishes Past Matt would've grabbed that copy of Snatcher he saw in the bargain bin at Sears).
Today, the Sega Genesis and Sega CD sit in a blue tote with their various games. I have about thirty games between the two systems. In the weeks leading up to the release of the book, I'm going to reflect on the different games with mini-reviews.
Please join me as I unlock the mysteries of the Sega Tote:

To learn more about Type I diabetes, and Type II diabetes, visit our Health articles and Pharmacy news section today! What happens in type 1 diabetes?In people with diabetes, the bodya€™s usual ways of controlling blood glucose levels do not work properly, which results in high blood glucose.When you eat food, it is digested in your stomach, which then transports any glucose (a type of sugar) a€" and other nutrients that the food contains a€" into your blood.
Our free CPD activities provide health professionals and students with high-quality learning opportunities and support you in maintaining best practice. The purpose was to finally demonstrate whether or not good blood sugar control was really important to prevent the complications of diabetes.
For you, a person with type 1 diabetes, lowering your A1C by 1 per cent means a 45 per cent less risk you will develop the chronic complications of diabetes! Pre-Diabetes, also known as Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) or Impaired Glucose Tolerance (ITG), occurs when a person has elevated blood sugar levels that are just below the levels of a Diabetic.
This test uses a drop of blood and a meter that measures the level of glucose in your blood at the time you do the test. You and your health care team need to use both the A1C and SMBG tests to get a complete picture of your blood glucose control. Here is a chart from the American Diabetes Association to show you how your blood glucose testing results are likely to match up with your A1C results. Pre-Diabetes is a condition that occurs most commonly in people who have a genetic or lifestyle predisposition to developing Diabetes. Click here to take our Discovering Diabetes quiz to determine if you could be a candidate for Type 2 Diabetes.
Pre-Diabetics often have similar digestive complications (see below) to Type 2 Diabetics but their blood sugar levels are lower than those of a full-blown Diabetic. Pre-Diabetics can often avoid getting Diabetes if they loose about 5 to 7 percent of their body fat. Pre-Diabetics do have a greater risk of developing heart disease and other effects of Diabetes. We intend to do this within local communities, with partnerships and just through word of mouth. Okay, so you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or maybe you have that sneaking suspicion that you may have it. The Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) test is performed after an 8 hour fast, thus it is usually done in the morning. Thus, your pre diabetes glucose readings should look similar to the above, from a diagnosis standpoint. This means that your doctor is trying to determine how well you are managing your diabetes or pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetics and diabetics are advised to keep their A1c below 7%, although some doctors recommend being as close to 6% as possible.
While not a substitute for a doctor's visit, there is a new home test for A1C results from Bayer Corporation.
Identify your HbA1c test score, mean blood and glucose level to know if your blood glucose is in the optimum level. This means that glucose cana€™t move into the muscles or liver, and builds up in the blood. The glucose is used by your body as energy for a whole range of important processes, including providing your muscles with energy during exercise.Normally, insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood and keeps it at a safe and healthy level. National evidence-based clinical care guidelines for type 1 diabetes in children, adolescents and adults. This information is not intended as a substitute for medical advice and should not be exclusively relied on to manage or diagnose a medical condition. And indeed it is a€" as you can see below, complications developed at a much lower rate in the intensively treated group compared to the conventional group.
Early and optimal blood glucose control has long term benefits.Thata€™s why we believe so passionately in using the IT system, and why we want to help you find the best way for you to do this. As the chart shows, the higher your self-testing numbers are over a 3-month period, the higher your A1C result is going to be. Therefore, they may be insulin resistant, obese and have other symptoms, but they have not quite developed full-blown Type 2 Diabetes. Studies indicate that if a Pre-Diabetic does not lose weight, he or she will get full-blown Diabetes within 10 years of the Pre-Diabetes onset.
However, it is important to note that different labs can provide varying results, so work with your doctor to determine what your individual test results mean.
Pre-diabetics, with proper exercise, weight management and diet can often achieve results closer to 5%. NPS MedicineWise disclaims all liability (including for negligence) for any loss, damage or injury resulting from reliance on or use of this information. The good news is that Pre-Diabetes is NOT Type 2 Diabetes and can generally be treated without medication. Therefore, if you or someone you care about has Pre-Diabetes, it is important to educate yourself about methods of losing weight and becoming healthier so that you can avoid getting Type 2 Diabetes. Click each of the following to learn more about Carbohydrates, How Digestion Works and Diabetes interactively.
Because the test is an average reading, it does not tell you what your actual blood glucose level measures on any given day or time. Again, different labs may produce different results, so all results need to be discussed with your physician. Diabetics have to know accurate measurements on their blood sugar levels or risk having to high blood sugar and damage their body.
This is a small unit that measures the amount of glucose in a person's blood and displays it. It is produced by the pancreas when blood glucose levels rise a€" for example after a meal.In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes little or no insulin to regulate blood glucose correctly, resulting in above normal blood glucose levels a€" of more than 8 mmol of glucose per litre of blood. For example, kidney and eye disease may stay stable for years!At the end of the original DCCT trial, all the people in the conventional group changed to intensive therapy and their A1C lowered. This test used to be called hemoglobin A-1-C (pronounced HE-mo-glow-bin A-one-C) or H-b-A-1-C.
The blood is placed in a small plastic strip that is then scanned and the results are displayed on a small window on the side. To find out more, read our information on type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes.Insulin a€" what is it and what does it do?Insulin is a hormone that is made in the pancreas a€" an organ that lies behind the stomach in the abdomen. Insulin is a chemical created by the pancreas; the job that does is in turning the glucose (sugar) in the body into fuel that the body can use. Insulin helps to move glucose (a type of sugar) from the blood into the cells of the body so that the cells can use the glucose as an energy source a€" during exercise for example. Now thata€™s commitment to a research study!Over time the A1C of the original intensive therapy and the former conventional therapy groups evened out at an average of 8%, but the benefits of intensive therapy remained a€" much to everyonea€™s surprise. Things that can be done to help lower the blood sugar levels include a normal blood sugar level chart this is where you write down all of your readings that you take and what you were doing prior to it to narrow down activities that should not be a part of your daily life. Insulin also helps to change any excess glucose that the body does not immediately need into a storable form of energy (called glycogen) in the liver.

The Latest: US reaches daily high of nearly 228,000 cases
By Associated Press | December 5, 2020 at 9:51 AM CST - Updated December 23 at 2:20 PM
WASHINGTON — Coronavirus infections continue to spread at record levels in the United States, reaching a new daily high of nearly 228,000 cases on Friday.
The 227,885 cases eclipses the previous high of more than 217,000 on Thursday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The seven-day rolling average of COVID-19 attributable deaths in the U.S. has passed 2,000 for the first time since the spring. It reached 2,011 on Friday. Two weeks ago, the seven-day average was 1,448. There were 2,607 deaths reported in the U.S. on Friday.
Globally, Johns Hopkins reports more than 1.5 million people have died from the coronavirus pandemic, including more than 279,000 in the United States.
BOISE, Idaho — National Guard troops are directing people outside a Boise urgent-care clinic revamped into a facility for coronavirus patients.
Health officials say Idaho's attempt to hold the coronavirus in check is failing as infections and deaths surge. They've halted elective surgeries to save bed space.
Inside Primary Health Medical Group's clinic, physician assistant Nicole Thomas works extra 12-hour shifts. She dons protective gear to examine 36 patients a day with symptoms. Some days, she says, half test positive for coronavirus.
In a state where many citizens are resisting pandemic restrictions, overworked staff are getting sick or quitting to avoid the stress. It takes at least two days to get an appointment for a test. Primary Health officials say they'll turn three more facilities into COVID-19 clinics by Dec. 30.
More than 1,000 people have died from the coronavirus in Idaho. Confirmed infections have surpassed 100,000.
A coronavirus surge hitting much of the U.S. is threatening to overwhelm hospitals in California. Five San Francisco Bay Area counties have imposed a new stay-at-home order for their residents that will take effect Sunday.
Much of the rest of the state could join this weekend. In Washington, optimism is finally building for a COVID-19 aid bill that would offer relief for businesses, the unemployed, schools and health care providers.
In Moscow, thousands of doctors, teachers and others in high-risk groups have signed up for COVID-19 vaccinations ahead of a Russia-wide immunization effort, though the Russian-designed vaccine has yet to complete the advanced studies needed to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

PHOENIX — Arizona health officials used a blunt tone Saturday as the state reported 6,799 coronavirus cases, the second-highest daily increase since the start of the pandemic.
The Department of Health Services says on Twitter that people should wear masks "around anyone who isn't a member of your household, even those you know and trust."
Similarly, the department's director, Dr. Cara Christ, says individuals "must take precautions as if we may be infected. And we must act as though anyone we are around may be infected."
The cases reported Saturday trailed only the record 10,322 cases reported Tuesday. Officials have said record high included data delayed by the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. There were four daily reports of more than 5,000 cases this week.
The hospitalizations for coronavirus rose to 2,931 on Friday, five times as many since early October. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has not ordered a statewide mask mandate or curfews.
The state reported 40 deaths on Saturday. Arizona has 358,900 total cases and 6,935 confirmed deaths.
ROME — Italy had more than 21,000 daily coronavirus cases and added 662 deaths in the last 24 hours.
The 21,052 new cases raised Italy's total to nearly 1.6 million. There's been 59,514 confirmed deaths, the second-highest toll in Europe behind Britain's toll.
This week, Italy's Premier Giuseppe Conte signed a decree limiting travel between regions Dec. 21 to Jan. 6, national Epiphany Day holiday. Conte hopes that will prevent holiday vacations that could fuel contagion.
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina reported a record increase in cases of the coronavirus and hospitalizations on Saturday.
The state reported 6,018 cases since Friday and 2,171 people with coronavirus in the hospitals. That's up 14 from a day earlier.
"In less than a week, we went from exceeding 5,000 new cases reported in one day to exceeding 6,000," said Dr. Mandy Cohen, the state's health secretary. "This is very worrisome. This indicates we have even more viral spread across our state right now."
North Carolina has a record number of people in intensive care, Cohen says. Another 49 people have died, bringing the confirmed total to 5,516, the health department says.
OKLAHOMA CITY — There were 4,370 newly reported coronavirus cases Saturday in Oklahoma.
The rolling averages of cases rose from 2,843 per day on Nov. 20 to 3,044 on Friday. The daily average of deaths increased from 15 daily to 22 during the same period, according to data by Johns Hopkins University.
The increase is due largely to community spread, according Dr. Dale Bratzler of the University Oklahoma medical center. He says, "it's typically places like restaurants, bars, gyms, places of worship."
Oklahoma has 213,245 total confirmed cases. There were 14 more deaths reported Saturday, bringing the total to 1,874 confirmed deaths
DETROIT — Michigan state health officials reported more than 8,600 daily confirmed cases on Friday and 81 deaths.
"When we look at the number of daily deaths, we have doubled in numbers of daily deaths, again nationally and regionally in the past couple of weeks," Dr. Adnan Munkarah, executive vice president and chief clinical officer for Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.
He's concerned about the possibility of travel and family gatherings at the holidays.
Munkarah says the health system currently has 576 employees out because they have tested positive, have pending tests or are quarantined because of close contact.
That number is up nearly 200 workers from a week ago, he says.
LONDON — The leader of Britain's main opposition party is in 14-day quarantine after a member of his office staff tested positive for the coronavirus.
A spokesman for Labour Party leader Keir Starmer says he hasn't shown symptoms but would work from home until Dec. 16.
It is the second time Starmer has self-isolated. In September, one of his children developed possible symptoms of the virus, but a test came back negative two days later.
Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson was hospitalized with COVID-19 in April. Last month, he also self-isolated for 14 days last after contact with a lawmaker who tested positive.
LISBON, Portugal — Portugal's prime minister says current restrictions against the coronavirus may be eased during the Christmas holidays if the coronavirus numbers continue a downward trend.
António Costa asked the country to take seriously the existing limitations, including partial curfews and a ban on driving from 1 p.m. during the next two weekends. He says the weeks up to Christmas will be key to make holiday gatherings possible.
The government will assess on Dec. 18 whether to give the final go-ahead to travel between different towns from Dec. 23-26, although there will be a 2 a.m. curfew for both Christmas Eve and Day, Costa says.
If cases grow again, he says the government will "apply the handbrake."
Portugal has 318,000 coronavirus cases and more than 4,800 confirmed deaths.
MOSCOW — Thousands of doctors, teachers and others in high-risk groups have signed up Saturday for a coronavirus vaccination in Moscow.
The vaccination effort comes three days after President Vladimir Putin ordered the launch of a "large-scale" immunization campaign even though a Russian-designed vaccine has yet to complete the advanced studies needed to ensure its effectiveness and safety in line with established scientific protocols.
The Russian leader said Wednesday that more than 2 million doses of the Sputnik V shot will be available in the next few days, allowing authorities to offer shots to medical workers and teachers across the country starting late next week.
On Saturday, Russia reported a record 28,782 daily cases, including 7,993 in Moscow. Russia's 2.4 million confirmed cases is the fourth-largest caseload in the world behind the United States, India and Brazil.
There's been 42,684 total confirmed deaths in Russia.
NEW DELHI — India has registered 36,652 confirmed coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours.
India's health ministry on Saturday also recorded 512 deaths in the past 24 hours, taking total deaths to nearly 140,000. The pace of new cases has seen a downward trend, with single-day cases remaining below the 50,000 mark for a month.
India has 9.6 million total cases, second behind the U.S. with 14.3 million. But globally it has one of the lowest deaths per million population, according to the Health Ministry.
India's home ministry has allowed states to impose local restrictions, such as night curfews. It has asked state officials to consult before imposing lockdowns at state, district or city levels.
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont has signed an order allowing the state Department of Labor to expand eligibility for a federal pandemic unemployment program to an estimated 38,000 people who were previously disqualified.
Under Friday's order, $7.5 million from the state's unemployment trust fund will be used make sure residents who are unemployed due to the coronavirus outbreak and were previously disqualified from receiving the temporary, extra financial benefit receive at least $100 a week in unemployment benefits.
That would then make them eligible retroactively for an additional $300 under the federal Lost Wages Assistance Program.
More than 160,000 Connecticut residents already received the supplemental federal benefits, resulting in a total of $370 million being allocated over six weeks, from July 26 to Sept. 5.
CASPER, Wyo. — An official in Wyoming's Department of Health involved in the state's response to the coronavirus is questioning the legitimacy of the pandemic and describes a forthcoming vaccine as a biological weapon.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Igor Shepherd called COVID-19 a "so-called pandemic" at a Nov. 10 event in Loveland, Colorado. It says Shepherd described efforts to develop a vaccine as a plot by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide.
Shepherd was introduced as a Wyoming Department of Health employee before his presentation.
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon and other top state officials have declined to comment.
VENTNOR, N.J. — The FBI is telling anyone who underwent a coronavirus test at a New Jersey laboratory to get retested and to contact the agency.
In a statement Friday on Twitter, the FBI's Newark office urges people who were recently tested for the virus at Infinity Diagnostic Laboratory in Ventnor "to be retested as soon as possible." It also asks that anyone who was administered a finger-prick blood test at the laboratory to contact a victim assistance unit at the FBI.
The announcement gave no further details, and a message left with the FBI seeking further information was not immediately returned.
Voicemail for the company's operations director Friday evening said it was closed and didn't offer the opportunity to leave a message.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has authorized medically trained National Guard soldiers to fill nursing roles, drive ambulances and perform coronavirus testing for hospitals that are overstretched on staffing while they care for a climbing number of coronavirus patients.
The order Friday allows the adjutant general to send hospitals reinforcements from the Tennessee National Guard. The state is focusing on troops who are actively assigned, including those serving in coronavirus testing roles statewide, but not those currently serving in civilian jobs in health care.
State health officials decline to identify which hospitals have expressed interest, but say there is need statewide.
The state reports 2,485 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, with only 14% of floor beds and 8% of ICU beds available.
SAN FRANCISCO — The health officers in six San Francisco Bay Area regions issued a new stay-at-home order Friday as the number of virus cases surge and hospitals fill.
The changes will take effect for most of the area at 10 p.m. Sunday and last through Jan. 4. The counties have not yet reached Gov. Gavin Newsom's threshold announced a day earlier requiring such an order when 85% of ICU beds at regional hospitals are full, but officials said the hospital system will be overwhelmed before the end of December when Newsom's order would apply.
It comes the same day the state recorded another daily record number of cases, with 22,018, and hospitalizations topped 9,000 for first time.
It means restaurants will have to close to both indoor and outdoor dining, bars and wineries must close along with hair and nail salons and playgrounds. Retail stores and shopping centers can operate with just 20% customer capacity. Gatherings of any size with people outside of your household are banned.
RALEIGH, N.C. — A judge agreed to name a third-party expert to scrutinize the COVID-19 response within North Carolina's prison system, which like the rest of the state is experiencing a surge in cases and hospitalizations.
Ruling again in ongoing litigation about health and safety within prisons, Superior Court Judge Vince Rozier said he's worried about the pressure the coronavirus is now placing upon correctional institutions.
The prison system closed temporarily three units over the last two weeks to handle staffing challenges, brought on in part by the upward swing in positive cases and the medical care prisoners need.
The Department of Public Safety says 370 correctional staff testing positive for coronavirus were out of work Friday, up 50 workers from last week. There were 667 active cases among the roughly 30,000 prisoners statewide. Twenty-five prisoners have died from COVID-19-related illnesses since the pandemic.
ATLANTA — Georgia's coronavirus infections are soaring above their worst peaks of the summer, resulting in more hospitalizations and more deaths.
Hitting a new single-day record of more than 6,000 suspected and confirmed infections on Friday pushed Georgia's rolling seven-day average of infections to nearly 4,300. That average was above its previous July record for the second day in a row.
Hospitalizations have not reached their summer heights in Georgia, but beds are filling rapidly with cases. Nearly 2,400 COVID-19 patients were in the hospital Friday.
Georgia has now recorded 9,725 confirmed and suspected deaths.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama health officials have urged the state to extend its statewide mask mandate, set to expire next week.
Dr. Sarah Nafziger, who teaches emergency medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said it was "critically important" for Republican Gov. Kay Ivey to maintain the requirement, which is opposed by some who consider it an infringement on personal rights or discount the threat of the coronavirus.
The president of the Alabama Hospital Association, Dr. Donald Williamson, said the organization "absolutely" supports continuing the order as cases rise statewide.
The order, which expires Dec. 11, requires anyone older than 6 to wear a mask when in public spaces indoors and outside if they can't stay 6 feet away from others. First imposed in July, health officials credit the rule with a sharp decline in cases until a recent spike began nationwide.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — States faced a deadline on Friday to place orders for the coronavirus vaccine as many reported record infections, hospitalizations and deaths.
The number of Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 hit an all-time high in the U.S. on Thursday at 100,667, according to the COVID Tracking Project. That figure has more than doubled over the past month.
New daily cases are averaging 210,000 and deaths are averaging 1,800 per day, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Arizona on Friday reported more than 5,000 new coronavirus cases for the second straight day as the number of available intensive care unit beds fell below 10% statewide. Pennsylvania's top health official says intensive care beds could be full this month.
The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
Since the start of the pandemic, talk of medical supplies has been on the forefront. But even before the COVID crisis, medical warehouses have always been an extremely important part of hospitals.

Jean-Paul Philippot (born June 26, 1960) is the current administrator-general of Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF) and a former president on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Background
Born in Liège, Belgium on 26 June 1960, Philippot graduated in Commercial Engineering from the Solvay Business School of the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 1984.

Career
Philippot was appointed administrator general of the RTBF in 2002 and immediately embarked on a policy of retrenchment and centralisation recommended by Andersen Consulting, which led to strikes and protests.

In December 2015 the former editor-in-chief of the RTBF television news accused him of being in the pocket of the Socialist party. In March 2016 Philippott was reported to be the best-paid public employee in French-speaking Belgium, and the only one whose annual pay exceeded the statutory maximum of 250,000 euros. In April 2016 he told a parliamentary committee on media that the RTBF was not top-heavy with managers and they were not overpaid.

He was elected as the president of the EBU at the general meeting in July 2008 held in Budapest, Hungary. In 2016 he was re-elected for his fifth consecutive term.

Kyle Hendricks retired his last 17 batters, and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Sunday night to salvage the finale of their weekend series.
Ben Zobrist and Anthony Rizzo homered as NL leading-Chicago moved 1 1/2 games ahead of second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central. Zobrist finished with four hits.
Hendricks (7-9) settled into a nice little groove after Marcell Ozuna's two-run homer in the first. The right-hander allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked none in seven innings.
It was Hendricks' second win in his last eight starts. He has yielded 59 runs this season - 21 in the opening inning.
St. Louis had won three of four. John Gant (3-4) was charged with three runs, two earned, and four hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Zobrist, who also had four hits in a 7-2 win over St. Louis on July 21, drove Gant's seventh pitch of the game over the wall in right-center for his seventh homer. Rizzo tied it at 2 with his 15th homer in the third.
Chicago then went ahead to stay with three runs in the fifth, taking advantage of a key error by second baseman Yairo Munoz.
Zobrist's two-out double put runners on second and third before Munoz bobbled Jason Heyward's grounder, allowing Rizzo to score. Javier Baez followed with a two-run double.
Pedro Strop pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save in eight chances.
Ozuna's first-inning homer was his second in as many games. He hit a grand slam in Saturday's 6-2 win.
The Cardinals have split eight games with the Cubs since the All-Star break. The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 16 minutes due to rain.

I do not have children but have learned from cousins that do , that the term " Home School " is a bit misleading . I found out that it is a very well organized accredited national organization that includes many activities were other home schooled children are together and engage in group activities outside the home socializing on a regular basis . It is not as isolated as it sounds . To me, if I had children it could also be 6 of one & a half dozen of the other . It has been pretty well established that what moral values that can be transmitted and instilled in the heart a child are generally fixed in their heart by the age of 7 years old . It is not just moral questions behind the home school program as well . They are much better educated . It is a much more in depth learning experience . To me I would home school the child up to a point and then give them exposure that would include the principles of the " world " which hopefully they have been sufficiently raised at that point to recognize . Maybe around the 8th or 9th grade . At some point you have to remember that they do not belong to you but to God .
What did Christ mean in Matthew 7:21-23?
Because someone professes something does not make it truth . I do not believe it was Jesus' intention to imply that the claims were true , only to illuminate the fact that so dark is the human heart that even " on that day " people will attempt to lie when face to face to the Son of God .You would think all bets would be off at that point . But such is our nature . It is very much like when Jesus quoted the Phraisee in the Temple praying to God that he was , " ..not as other men are ." ( Like 18 : 11 ) . Just because Jesus quotes this man saying to God that he is " not as other men are " does make it true . Jesus is merely pointing out the obvious .
We have women " speak " in our church all of the time , but " inquire about something " is not how I would describe their speaking . I would describe the women's speaking in our church much more along the lines of worship & praise , the same as the man's speaking . I wonder about this statement of Paul's concerning women wanting to " inquire about something " publicly ? Especially as it is connected to the head of the household ? It almost seems that Paul is talking about a less than divinely inspired restlessness that is motivating the desire to " inquire about something " . Pure speculation on my part , but it just seems to me there is more going on here .
Always inspiring to hear another prodigal story such as my own . God Bless you & Happy Thanksgiving .
Pure legalism . How is that working since Calvary ?
Did Pygmy's Have a Mini Ark ?
Unfailing Presence replied to Pencil24's topic in Do you want to just ask a question?
Saul was the peoples choice .
Sid Roth and "It's Supernatural"
The greatest " healing " that can take place in a human life is Christ entering in . Anytime the focus moves away from that , BEWARE .
If the Pygmy's did not have a mini ark how did they make it , not being invited on the full size ark ?
Will the Antichrist be Jewish or Gentile?
The satanic resurrection that God will allow satan to perform in the spirit of anti-Christ is a fulfillment linked to the Savior's pronouncement of one " coming in his own name " . Jesus claimed the power of His Father in His resurrection , and was REJECTED . Satan in the flesh will proclaim his own power for the satanic resurection and will be ACCEPTED by the world .

From Trains Jan. issue: NRHS will hold there annual convention May 7-12 in Salt Lake City, w/RLHS, UPHS & SPHS all holding joint convrentions in Ogden early May in run up to UP's 150th celebration in Ogden. I thank the Sacramento Museum is sending some steam also.
As for operable steam, Granite Rock #10 will have to do. Someone will have to come up with a story to make #10 relevant to the Golden Spike.
They can haul UP 4466 to Ogden, but I haven't heard any efforts to bring her back to steam, and it's probably too late for that. UP 4466 used to be operable, and this might be missed opportunity to restore her back to operation.
I think anyone who has had the slightest experience with steam will tell you that there is NEVER 100% certainty of no unforeseen dilemmas. It would be closer to say that you can pretty well count on the unexpected hiccup.
The 150th Anniversary of the Golden Spike is more important than the Big Boy. With that in mind, sane people shouldn't victimize themselves with the false expectations that 4014 is necessary for the celebration. The presence of UP 844 and hopefully, UP 6936 (DDA40X is nicknamed "Centennial" for a reason) is sufficient enough for me as far as UP is concerned. If 4014 does show up, then it's a nice bonus.
I remember when we took the 844 to Ogden for the 125th and while on display there the corporate tain passed us on the way to Brigham City with the set of E units. As the Lewis's business car passed us we gave a proper salute on 844's whistle.

The World's Forests Are in the 'Emergency Room,' Activists Say
"The health of the planet is at stake and band aid responses are not enough."
By Adela Suliman
LONDON, April 25 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — The world lost 12 million hectares (30 million acres) of tropical tree cover last year — the equivalent of 30 football pitches a minute — researchers said on Thursday, warning the planet's health was at stake.
It was the fourth highest annual decline since records began in 2001, according to new data from Global Forest Watch, which uses satellite imagery and remote sensing to monitor tree cover losses from Brazil to Ghana.
"The world's forests are now in the emergency room," said Frances Seymour, senior fellow at the US-based World Resources Institute (WRI), which led the research.
"It's death by a thousand cuts — the health of the planet is at stake and band aid responses are not enough."
Take Action: Protect Our Oceans! Prevent Ocean Plastic Pollution
Seymour said the data represented "heartbreaking losses in real places," with indigenous communities most vulnerable to losing their homes and livelihoods through deforestation.
The loss of huge swathes of forest around the world also has major implications for climate change as they absorb a third of the planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions produced globally.
"Forests are our greatest defence against climate change and biodiversity loss, but deforestation is getting worse," said John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK.
"Bold action is needed to tackle this global crisis including restoring lost forests. But unless we stop them being destroyed in the first place, we're just chasing our tail."
The study found much of the loss occurred in primary rainforest — mature trees that absorb more carbon and are harder to replace.
The rate of destruction in 2018 was lower than in the two previous years. It peaked in 2016 when about 17 million hectares of tropical forest were lost due partly to rampant forest fires, according to the WRI.

The study highlighted new deforestation hotspots, particularly in Africa, where illegal mining, small-scale forest clearing and the expansion of cocoa farms led to an increase in tree loss in countries such as Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
Indonesia was a rare bright spot, with primary forest loss slowing for two years running, after the government imposed a moratorium on forest-clearing.
Indonesia has the world's third largest total area of tropical forest and is also the biggest producer of palm oil. Environmentalists blame much of the forest destruction on land clearance for oil-palm plantations.
"We hope that this is a sign that our policies so far are having an effect," said Belinda Margono, a director at the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
Last year, leading philanthropists pledged a $459 million commitment to rescue shrinking tropical forests that suck heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a Global Climate Action Summit in California.
But experts said more needed to be done.
"Deforestation causes more climate pollution than all the world's cars, trucks, ships and planes combined," said Glenn Hurowitz, chief executive of Mighty Earth, a global environmental campaign organisation.
"It's vital that we protect the forests that we still have."
