Health Minister: 32% fewer new cases, relaxing measures depends on few elements

ZAGREB, 21 January (Hina) – Ahead of a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Health Minister Vili Beroš said that compared to last week there were now 32% fewer cases of COVID-19 and today's data indicates 39 fewer hospitalised COVID patients and 15 fewer on ventilators.
Beroš said that we still have a high number of fatalities which forces us to be on alert. "We expected that the number of deaths would start to fall but that has not happened. However, there are fewer hospitalised patients in a serious condition," he said.
To date a total of 60,958 people have been vaccinated including 7,843 who have received both doses.
Beroš says that Croatia has not registered any cases of the new strain of coronavirus and that based on recommendations, it plans to increase the number of virus sequencing.
This was discussed yesterday at the European Commission's Scientific Council because Europe is worried about the new variant of the virus and has recommended stepping up of sequencing genomes in those situation where a larger number of infected people emerges which was recently the case in Varaždin and Međimurje counties and with arrivals from high-risk countries like South Africa and Great Britain, he explained.
Beroš said that that sequencing will be conducted in institutions that have the equipment for that type of genetic analysis such as the infectious diseases hospital and that he believes that the scientific community will contribute as the majority of institutions have that equipment.
When it comes to relaxing measures in Croatia, the minister said that the number of new cases is just one of the elements relevant to decide on measures. However, the decisions are also influenced by other facts such as winter months, the epidemiological situation in our neighbourhood, the emergence of the new strain of the virus, increased mobility with school starting and so on.
"I think the worst thing now would be to consider steps that are not founded. Most of Europe is stepping up measures so it is not realistic to expect any relaxing until the epidemiological situation can guarantee safety," said Beroš.
Plenković: Coronavirus situation encouraging, we'll see what to do after 1 Feb
The epidemiological situation in Croatia is encouraging and if the downward trend continues, the government will consult with the national coronavirus response team, epidemiologists and its team of economists over the weekend to see what can be done after 1 February, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said on Thursday.
In the last seven days Croatia has recorded 1,429 new infections, or an average of 604 daily. "These are the numbers we had in mid-October and they are six times lower than they were six weeks ago," the prime minister said at a cabinet meeting.
The 14-day incidence rate has decreased to 258 per 100,000 people, which is half the number recorded three weeks ago.
Plenković said that Croatia ranked fifth in the EU in terms of the weekly average of cases per million people, behind Greece, Finland, Bulgaria and Belgium.
He recommended caution, given the vicious nature of the virus and a new strain that has emerged.
"If the present trend continues, we will have consultations over the weekend with the national coronavirus response team, epidemiologists and the government's team of economists to see what we can do as of 1 February, given that the existing regime is in place until 31 January," the prime minister said.
He announced that the European Council was holding a video conference this evening, with the vaccination process as the main topic.
"It is important that we have coordinated activities of all EU member states and that we try to find solutions together so that as many doses of vaccine as possible reach the member states according to the distribution schedule," Plenković said.
He said that efforts would be made by spring to vaccinate as many vulnerable people as possible, after which the general public would be vaccinated.

Since President Trump terminated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in September, you have heard about our efforts to speak truth to power. During a 2-day mobilization in Washington, D.C. last month, South Asian DREAMer, leader, and SAALT ally Chirayu Patel asked elected officials at a rally on Capitol Hill, "What is the legacy you want to leave behind?" You heard SAALT's Executive Director, Suman Raghunathan, demand a clean DREAM Act without any compromises on increased border enforcement that will negatively impact immigrant families.
Over the last three months, DREAMERs have been deported by the thousands, with over 100 DREAMers falling out of status every day because Congress's failure to act. Additionally, the government is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several countries that are still reeling from war, disease, and natural disasters. So far Nicaragua, Honduras, and Haiti have been on the chopping block. Nepal and others could be up next.
We are now at the end of the year and Congress needs to deliver.
Funding for the government expires this Friday, December 8th and Congress plans to pass a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the lights on. This is likely the last must-pass spending bill of the year, and the last chance for us to get the DREAM Act and TPS legislation through Congress this year.
Call your elected officials and tell them why they must include the DREAM Act in the last must-pass spending bill of the year. Urge them to withhold their vote on any spending bill that does not include a clean DREAM Act. It is critical that calls are made this week before a Continuing Resolution is passed on December 8th. Click here to find your Member of Congress.
See below for a sample script!
"I am calling to urge you to sign on to the bi-partisan DREAM Act of 2017. As a South Asian American constituent, I am calling on you to support the DREAM Act now and ensure that it is included in the year-end spending bill.
This legislation would allow our DREAMers who are as American as you or me to remain in the only country they have ever known or called home. You may be surprised to know that there are at least 450,000 undocumented Indians alone in the U.S. and there are at least 23,000 Indians and Pakistanis who are eligible to remain in the country, be shielded from deportation, and legally work through the DREAM Act.
The Muslim Bans are a series of discriminatory executive orders and proclamations that the Trump administration has implemented. While the first version, Muslim Ban 1.0, was signed and went into effect on 1/27/2017, within a day of being signed, thousands of individuals across the country rushed to the airports in protest, and significant portions of it were immediately blocked by the federal courts. The administration has continued to issue different versions of the Muslim Ban, which are working their way through the court system. Just as with Muslim Ban 1.0, the federal courts have temporarily blocked significant portions of the subsequent Muslim Bans, finding them to be blatantly anti-Muslim, unconstitutional, and an abuse of the President's power. The fight to challenge the Muslim Bans continues.
Despite intense opposition and criticism from the public, allied legislators, and the federal courts, the Trump administration has also pushed forward other discriminatory policies that share the same goal as the Muslim Bans and target Muslims and other immigrants and communities of Color.
Extreme Vetting (or the Backdoor Muslim Ban) – On 3/15/2017, the Secretary of State called for enhanced screening of nationals of the six countries included in Muslim Ban 2.0. On 5/23/2017, the Office of Management and Budget approved discretionary use of "extreme vetting" questions, including inquiries into social media accounts and extensive biographical and travel information from the last 15 years. Impacts of the policy include a dramatic decline in visa applications; further delays in visa issuance to nationals of Muslim-majority countries targeted by the Muslim Bans; and discriminatory practices while issuing visas.
Ending Temporary Protection Status (TPS) for Sudan – On 9/19/2017, a few days before Sudan was removed from Muslim Ban 3.0, the Trump administration announced an end to TPS for Sudan, effective 11/2/2018. Sudanese TPS holders may be forced to return to a country that is still unstable, despite this being the very reason for originally granting TPS to people from Sudan. These measures raise concerns about what is to come next for over 400,000 people with TPS from different countries.
Slashing Legal Immigration and Cutting Diversity in our Immigration System – On 2/7/2017, Senator Cotton (R-AK) and Senator Purdue (R-GA) introduced a bill that would cut green cards by more than half and end our family-based immigration system. If passed, the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act, would cut current levels of legal immigration by over 50%, and eliminate the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, which provides opportunities for countries that send few immigrants – often those with a majority of Muslim and/or Black populations – to apply for a green card.
Slashing Annual Refugee Admissions – On 9/27/2017, the Trump administration drastically lowered the annual refugee admission cap from 110,000 to 45,000, the lowest cap since 1980, and Muslim Ban 4.0 specifically targets countries that account for approximately 80% of all Muslim refugees resettled in the U.S. in the past two years.
120 days for all refugees On 6/26/17, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) allowed part of the ban to go into effect, applying it to those lacking a bona fide relationship to the U.S. On 9/24/17, the Ban on nationals from the targeted countries expired and on 10/24/17, the Ban on refugees expired. SCOTUS dismissed the cases challenging the ban as moot.
 Waivers may be granted under circumstances set in each Executive Order or Proclamation.
 As of December 1, 2017, close familial relationship in the U.S or a formal documented relationship with a U.S entity. Familial relationship includes parents (including in-laws and step- parents), spouses, fiancées, children (including step children), siblings (including step and half-siblings), grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Formal documented relationship between students and universities; workers and companies; and lecturer invited to speak; among other examples are required.
 The Hawaii district court in Hawaii v. Trump initially blocked the Ban for all individuals, BUT on 11/13/17 the Ninth Circuit limited this ruling to only protect those individuals with a bona fide relationship to the U.S.
SAALT thanks our partners at National Immigration Law Center (NILC), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC) for this infographic.
"No one should be discriminated against on the basis of how they look, how they choose to pray, or their country of origin. 'Muslim Ban 3.0' remains reprehensible at its core and discriminatory in its intent. While the Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the 'Muslim Ban,' court after court has consistently rejected it as outright discrimination and a threat to our most fundamental constitutional protections.
The third version of the 'Muslim Ban' will only contribute to a worsening climate of hate aimed at our communities. The Supreme Court's decision comes on the heels of the President tweeting incendiary and irresponsible anti-Muslim videos last week, posts applauded by white supremacists such as David Duke and denounced by the British Prime Minister and civil rights organizations.
Anti-Muslim policies and rhetoric continue to have deadly consequences. The FBI's 2016 hate crimes statistics reveal that assaults against Muslims have surpassed levels reached in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Since the election, SAALT has documented over 205 incidents of hate violence aimed at South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Arab, and Middle Eastern Americans, a 58% increase from the year prior. Due to a massive underreporting of hate crimes, we know this is just a fraction of the attacks our communities experience regularly.

Black Lightning Makes Fun of the Whole 'Black Vulcan' Situation
by Brian Cronin
In Meta-Messages, I explore the context behind (using reader danjack's term) "meta-messages." A meta-message is where a comic book creator comments on/references the work of another comic book/comic book creator (or sometimes even themselves) in their comic. Each time around, I'll give you the context behind one such "meta-message." This time around, we look at how Tony Isabella dealt with the whole "Black Vulcan" situation in the final issue of Isabella's original run on his creation, Black Lightning!
In 1977, Tony Isabella, who had already gained some experience at Marvel Comics working on both Luke Cage and the short-lived Black Goliath series, was given the chance at DC Comics to come work on a new black hero that they were planning on launching. Isabella had been working on ideas for a black superhero of his own, so he soon convinced DC to drop their idea (which was a really offensive character character that Robert Kanigher had come up with that basically revolved around the idea, "What if Archie Bunker turned into a black superhero at night?") and instead do the new character that Isabella had come up with.
The new hero (which was created by Isabella with artist Trevor Von Eeden, that credit is the specific way to credit the creation "Black Lightning was created by Tony Isabella with Trevor Von Eeden") debuted in Black Lightning #1 in very early 1977...
The character was a very personal creation for Isabella and he was very proud of Black Lightning. As he mentioned once, "In a very real sense, he was my Superman and I had hoped he would have a place with DC's other superstars."
That sure seemed to be the case, as Black Lightning was very well received when it came out. So well received that, well, something weird happened in the fall of that year.
You see, in 1973, a new animated TV series called Super Friends came out. It was canceled after just one season. However, the show (which was produced by Hanna-Barbera) continued to air in re-runs and was a popular enough show that they kept airing the first season over and over again. Meanwhile, the popularity of the Wonder Woman TV series was leading to a boom in superhero TV programming period, so 1977 saw the introduction of a couple of other new superhero TV shows, Amazing Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk.
RELATED: The 15 Most Bizarre Super Friends Episodes
So Hanna-Barbera and DC decided to bring the Super Friends back. They launched a new series called The All-New Super Friends...
Besides replacing Marvin and Wendy with the Wonder Twins, the show also saw the Super Friends team up with a bunch of other DC superheroes, as well as some brand-new characters meant to add some diversity to the team. Naturally, Black Lightning would be a PERFECT addition to the team. Except, here's the problem - if Black Lightning was used on the show, Isabella would get paid a fee from him appearing on TV. DC was supposed to pay it, but they decided to pass the fee along to Hanna-Barbera. Hanna-Barbera, for their part, did not want to do that, so they instead just invented a Black Lightning KNOCK-OFF called Black Vulcan...
Isabella was naturally displeased, and in his last issue of Black Lightning (he noted that he left the series because "I quit due to my dissatisfaction with DC's failure to live up to the spirit of their agreements with me on a number of occasions"), he left one heck of a parting shot!

Q: Access 2007: Filtering a report's results using a drop-down box My question is twofold.

*

*I have around twenty assorted tables in a database. The table layouts are diverse; the one common thread is that all of them have a 'County' field.

I need to set up a series of reports which allow a user to select a county from a drop-down box, triggering the report to run and return only records attached to that particular county.
This is doable at the datasheet level using a filter-by-form, but that's pretty clunky and I have several tables/queries which will need this same county filter.
I may be halfway there with the following:

Create an unbound form.
Add a combo box.
Set the Row Source of the combo box to include the County field.
Set its Bound column to 1.
Set its Column Count property to 2.
Set the Column Width property to 0";1"
Name the Combo Box 'ChooseCounty'.
Add a Command Button to the form.
Code the button's click event as follows:
(Note: To write the code, in Form Design View select the command button. Display the button's property sheet.
Click on the Event tab.
On the On Click line, write:
[Event Procedure]
Click on the little button with the 3 dots that appears on that line.
When the code window opens, the cursor will be flashing between two already existing lines of code.
Between those lines, write the following code.)
Me.Visible = False
Close the Code window.
Name this form 'ChooseCounty'.
In the Query that is the Report's Record Source [County] field
criteria line, write:
forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty
Next, code the Report's Open event:
(Using the same method as described above)
DoCmd.OpenForm "ChooseCounty", , , , , acDialog
Code the report's Close event:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "ChooseCounty"
When ready to run the report, open the report.
The form will open and wait for the selection of the Company.
Click the command button and then report will run.
When the report closes, it will close the form.

I can persuade the report to trigger the form, but only once - I can't seem to figure out where precisely the 'forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty' needs to go. Perhaps someone can clarify or offer a more elegant way to do this?

*

*I need to set up a large meta-report containing sub-reports on all of the tables - and, using the same drop-down 'choose a county' form, I need to have that choice cascade down through all the subreports. I don't have the faintest idea how to go about this. Suggestions welcome!

~ T

A: You seem to be asking two questions, the last of which is clear to me, but the first is not. The second one is in regard to how to cascade the filter to the subforms. You can do this in one of two ways:

*

*put the form control reference as criterion in the recordsource of each subreport, OR

*create a non-visible control on the report that has as it's controlsource "=Forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty". Name that control "CountyFilter". Then, add CountyFilter to the link properties. If, for instance, you are linking the subreports on ID, you'd have:

*

*LinkMaster: ID;CountyFilter

*LinkChild:  ID;County

(assuming, of course, that ID is your link field for the child reports, and that "County" is the name of the field in the child subreport).
Now, I'm wondering why you would have the County data not just in the parent record but in the child records -- that makes no sense. If you do have it, then the solution above will work.
If you don't, then I don't understand the question, as the whole idea behind subreports is that they are filtered by the parent record, so if the parent record is a person, and you filter by COUNTY, you're only going to get the child records in the subreport for that person, which by definition are already filtered by COUNTY because the parent has been filtered.
As to the earlier question, you write:

I can persuade the report to trigger
  the form, but only once - I can't seem
  to figure out where precisely the
  'forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty'
  needs to go

You have two choices:

*

*hardwire the recordsource of the report to use the form control reference, so the WHERE clause of your report would be "WHERE County=Forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty" (and you should set this as a parameter of type text to insure that it gets processed correctly).

*the better meethod is to set the recordsource in the report's OnOpen event.
After you open the form as a dialog, you'd have something like this:
Me.Recordsource = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE County='" _
  & Forms!ChooseCounty!ChooseCounty & "'"

And immediately after that line, you can close the form, since it's not needed any longer.
You will likely want an OnNoData event for the case where no records are returned. This is usually something simple like:
  MsgBox "No records found!"
  DoCmd.Close acReport, Me.Name

I hope this answers your questions, but if not, I'm happy to offer more explanation.

EU Green Public Procurement for Solar PV products
Solar PV is widely considered as a key solution to Europe's fossil fuel dependence and related energy price volatility. This is reflected in REPowerEU and the European Solar Strategy by increasing solar deployment ambitions for the next years and launching a solar industrial strategy to bring back parts of the supply chain to Europe.
European Critical Raw Materials Act Public Consultation ETIP PV Contribution
The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Photovoltaics ETIP PV welcomes the opportunity to
contribute to the European Commission public consultation on the upcoming European Critical Raw materials
act. The European Union needs to have a raw material strategy that is consistent with the imperatives of its
energy and climate policies, notably with regards to energy independence and for the success of the European
Green Deals in terms of jobs and social impacts. As the European platform assessing the research and innovation
needs of the PV sector throughout its value chain and towards the market uptake of innovative technologies,
the ETIP PV is well situated to provide a perspective on the European Critical Raw Materials Act in the
perspective of the energy transition.
Expert input paper on eco-design & energy labelling for photovoltaic modules, inverters and systems in the EU
This report is the the result of a Joint Mission Group of Solar Industry Experts and Researchers, building on the findings of the European Commission Preparatory Study for Eco-Design, Energy Labelling, Green Public Procurement and Ecolabelling. The findings of the Expert Input Paper aim to support the criteria development process within the framework of compulsory policy instruments further evaluated in the supporting study.
Research Challenges in PV Reliability
Reliable solar PV power plants will deliver the expected performance throughout their entire service life. They will experience very limited component degradation, failures or system down-time. Improving reliability means derisking electricity production and return on investment of PV systems. Mitigation of risks supports the bankability of PV systems and serves as an enabler for accelerated deployment of solar PV technologies. Ongoing basic research remains necessary for the photovoltaic industry to continue advancing its knowledge and improving lifetime system performance. This document addresses the foundations and reasons why reliability research is crucial to the solar PV industry's continued growth.
Is Clean Energy Production Granted? The role of solar PV, wind and hydrogen in the shift to sustainable energy
Hydrogen is only a carrier for energy and not a primary source of energy and it can only ever be as clean as what is used to produce it. The current hydrogen supply chain relies for 95% on fossil fuels and is a vast emitter of CO2. Any support to hydrogen leading to an expansion of this current supply chain would therefore be counterproductive. On the other hand, synthetic fuels will be necessary after 2030 to reach net-zero emissions. Hydrogen production powered by PV and wind is the most likely route for the clean synthesis of such fuels.
Vehicle-integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) as a core source for electricity in road transport
The growing awareness of the global need for sustainable mobility empowers the application of new technological innovations to the road transport sector. Vehicle integrated photovoltaic technology (VIPV), however, is still considered a questionable issue in the automotive community. The ecological and economic value of VIPV is yet not evident. This paper aims to give an overview of the global VIPV market, in particular, the current status and future potential of PV-powered vehicles. Additionally, it studies possible added value for users, communities and stakeholders mostly focusing on batteryoperated electric vehicles (BEVs). Other VIPV applications for solar race vehicles, as well as ships, planes, trains and other small vehicles are outlined and evaluated as well. Concentrating on different Use Cases the paper estimates the economic and environmental viability of PV from technical viewpoints. In conclusion, this paper outlines strategies for integrated research and development and clarifies the main obstructions to VIPV introduction.
Solar Skins: An opportunity for greener cities
Solar photovoltaic (solar PV) electricity has recently become the lowest cost source of electricity in most parts of the world. Solar PV supports a socially just and acceptable energy transition and integrated applications, as well as new business opportunities. This report is focusing on one of these new business opportunities. It aims at describing the added value of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) for a successful energy transition in European cities, as well as the related opportunities for EU businesses. It describes the regulatory and market framework needed for sustainable business models for BIPV, that are adapted to city planning constraints and specificities.
This publication is a joint report of ETIP PV and SolarPower Europe.
SOLARUNITED Quality Initiative: Harmonized data collection from the field
Reaction of ETIP PV to EC's 'Clean Planet for All' Communication on possible scenarios for 99% decarbonisation (or not) by 2050
All in all, ETIP PV is highly supportive of the EU's interest in following a pathway that leads to a max-1.5°C warmer world and encourages it to put in place the policies that will achieve this as cost-effectively as possible. This means acting soon. Zero net-carbon emissions are required by 2050. They will be achieved with a fully decarbonised and expanded power sector that provides services in heating and cooling, transport and possibly chemical feedstocks. The deployment of carbon-negative technologies including in the years leading up to that date may also be needed. Electricity will be needed for this, too.

The luxury possum merino knitwear manufacturer McDonald Textiles has been purchased by the Ensor family, a fourth generation farming family from Marlborough. The business in the hands of the Ensor's from the 7th of June 2017 is headed by Emma Ensor, supported by Ben Ensor. Emma, who has made the move back from Sydney to step into the position of General Manager has held senior positions across Sales and Marketing within the FMCG field. Ben with a background in Banking and Finance has been managing the family's 100ha vineyard over the past 10 years.
The Ensor's family property "Tyntesfield" is located in the Waihopai Valley, Blenheim. The 2,800ha property is a diverse mix of high hill country, rolling hills and flat river bed paddocks, producing meat, wool and wine. Each element of the property provides different land uses that make the property unique. The high hill country is perfect for Merino who thrive on the harder, steep hill country, Corriedale sheep and cattle graze on the rolling hills with the vineyard located on the stony river flats running alongside the Omaka river which boarders the property. The Ensor family have been growing wool for 150 years and are extremely passionate about it. They see an integral link here with the McDonald brand as they enter the business and move it forward.
"Our family has a focus on continuous growth, and with this we have been looking to diversify the business and have been exploring opportunities for some time. It was important to not only find a business in great shape but one that was a good fit for us and our background." Said Ben.
"2017 marks 60 years for the family on Tyntesfield, so we feel it is wonderful and fitting that we can celebrate this milestone with the purchase of McDonald – a brand that places significant focus and passion behind the quality of the product and the service it provides. This rings true to our family values where a great deal of satisfaction comes from seeing trucks go out our farm gate and down the road filled with the best quality produce, be that lamb, beef, wool or grapes." Said Emma.
Watch out for the McDonald 2017-2018 collection coming soon. This season is McDonald Textiles' most exciting yet, with an enhanced range of styles and colours.

BOXSCORE | RECAP
NY Rangers 4, Washington 3
When: 7:00 PM ET, Sunday, May 10, 2015
Where: Verizon Center, Washington, District Of Columbia
Referees: Kelly Sutherland, Chris Rooney
Linesmen: Derek Amell, Jay Sharrers
By The Sports Xchange
WASHINGTON -- The New York Rangers and Washington Capitals have been down this road before and on Wednesday night in New York they will do it again.
Thanks to a thrilling 4-3 victory fueled by a pair of early goals by left winger Chris Kreider and a 43-save effort by goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, the Rangers rallied back to tie their best-of-seven playoff series with the Capitals, forcing a Game 7 in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
It will be the third time in four years, the Capitals and Rangers will be going the distance in a playoff series, with the winner going to the Eastern Conference Finals.
"We wanted a chance and we gave ourselves a chance," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "We came here to compete and I thought we did that. You had two good teams going at it."
For the first time in the series, both teams will have two days off before deciding the series Wednesday. They may need it since Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh and Capitals defenseman Tim Gleason left the game with undisclosed injuries, only to return to finish the game.
The two teams also needed a Game 7 to decide their playoff series in 2012 and 2013. The Rangers won each time.
"It's one game, loser goes home," Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. "I don't think you can say there's more pressure on us than them. No matter what, someone's going home. It's going to be a max effort on both sides. It's going to be a heck of a hockey game."
Left winger Rick Nash and defenseman Dan Boyle each netted third-period goals for the Rangers. Left winger Jason Chimera, center Evgeny Kuznetsov and right winger Joel Ward scored of the Capitals. But the difference maker, the Rangers said, was Lundqvist.
"He surprises me every day with his focus," Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi said. "He makes that save when we need it most. He was just a wall back there for us when we were battling and just trying to get it out of our zone."
Leading 2-1 after two periods, the Rangers took a 4-1 lead on early third-period goals by Nash and Boyle, only to see the Capitals stage a furious comeback.
Kuznetsov scored his fifth goal of the playoffs with 7:40 gone in the third period, and right winger Joel Ward made it 4-3 with his third goal of the playoffs with 9:27 remaining in regulation.
But Lundqvist withstood a barrage of shots in the final nine minutes, his biggest stop coming against Washington captain Alex Ovechkin from the high slot. Ovechkin failed to score a goal for the fourth straight game in the series. He hasn't gone four games without a goal since December.
The Capitals had a two-minute power play in the final three minutes of play after Rangers left winger James Sheppard took a delay of game penalty, but even after pulling goaltender Braden Holtby for a sixth attacker, the Capitals could not get a puck past Lundqvist.
"We almost tied the game," Ovechkin said. "The character of this group, it shows a lot. We're going to come back and win the series."
The Rangers have been the best first-period team in the NHL this season and they wasted little time flexing their muscles against the Capitals as Kreider scored on New York's first and last shots of the opening period to grab a 2-0 lead.
Kreider's first goal of the night and fourth of the playoffs came just 40 seconds into the game when center Derick Brassard hit him with a stretch pass. Kreider got a step on Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen, held him off and backhanded a shot over right shoulder of Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby.
Rangers center Derek Stepan won a battle against Capitals forwards Andre Burakovsky and Jay Beagle along the defensive wall to free the puck for Brassard.
Both goaltenders needed to come up with big saves to keep the game tight in the first period, with Lundqvist flashing out his right pad to stop back-to-back shots from left winger Jason Chimera and right winger Troy Brouwer, and Holtby turning away center Dominic Moore five times.
A roughing penalty on Brouwer with 4 seconds remaining in the first period gave the Rangers their second power play of the period and after a faceoff win by Stepan and a point blast by Brassard, Kreider slammed home the rebound with three-tenths of a second remaining to send the Rangers into the first intermission with a two-goal lead.
In all, the Rangers have outscored their playoff opponents 9-2 in the opening period.
Unfazed, the Capitals scored just 28 seconds into the second period when Kuznetsov deflected a point shot by Ward into the chest of Lundqvist and when the puck squirted into the crease, Chimera pitch-forked it over the goal line for his third goal of the playoffs.
NOTES: Capitals D Tim Gleason left the game twice with an undisclosed injury but returned each time. ... Among NHL starters, Capitals G Braden Holtby (1.51 goals-against average, .951 save percentage) and Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist (1.55 GAA, .942) were ranked first and second in those categories. ... Washington C Eric Fehr sat out his ninth straight playoff game with an upper-body injury but could be available for the Capitals' next game.

Can you take tums with seizure medication?
When you take tums along with seizure medication does it stop the seizure medication from workin corrrectly so you could have a seizure.
Well, maybe but I wouldn't do it until you call a pharmacist. The problem is antacids interfere with absorption. When you take an antacid it changes the PH in your stomach so some pills don't break down and absorb correctly so you end up passing it before you can get your dose into your blood. So don't do it until you can get some confirmation. I don't know what kind of pills you're on, the dose, etc. so I can't tell you for sure but it's a risk that you shouldn't take.
I'm on clonazapam, Zonisamide, Lamotragine, Trileptal. That is what I thought if you have heart burnt you need to live with it while you take your medication for seizures. After you have enough time for the medication to get in your blood to work then you can takes little. Doing it together gets you in trouble. If you can live with out acid reflex medication then do so. You should definitely talk to a doctor if acid reflux won't go away. While your doing all this I would be very careful in what you do in case it does cause a seizure. I used to take tums at least two hours after my seizure medication only if my heat burn was bad enough that I had to do something. I had had problems this week. Then I took tums this week 15 min before my seizure medication and had problems. I now understand what was said that the seizure medication does not get absorbed and passes through that way. I will talk to my doctor if my heart burn comes back and won't go away.
He may have a way of helping me. Right now I have none and no problems. I will learn the foods that cause heart burn for me and change my diet so I don't eat them and find other things to eat.
Thanks for telling me that anti-acid medication helps you not to absorb other medication you take like seizure medication.

Going to college has always been part of the American Dream. For a nation of immigrants, a college education meant that children would always do better than their parents. After World War II, a college education became part of the GI Bill that rewarded veterans for service to their country. During the 1970s, the huge baby boom generation impacted college campuses, causing tuition prices to rise even faster than consumer price inflation. Except for federal student aid programs, college might have been priced out of reach.
Then because of all the financial aid (credit) that became easily available, tuition prices started rising at twice the rate of the consumer price index. Caught up in the belief that a good education at a top school would pay for itself over a lifetime career, students and their families increased their borrowing, much as they did on home equity when credit was easy. As a result, student loans have become another recipe for financial disaster.
By 2009, according to the Project on Student Debt, graduating college seniors carried an average of $24,000 in student debt—a 25 percent increase over the debt held by graduates just four years before. And, as the recession progressed, they had an average unemployment rate higher than 9 percent. Clearly, the traditional dream of repaying minimal student loans quickly with a high-paying job has collided with a new reality.

2. In recent decades, our Churches have grown closer together than they have ever been over the centuries. From the time of their first meeting in Rome in 1984, our Predecessors of blessed memory, Pope Saint John Paul II and Catholicos Patriarch Mar Dinkha IV, embarked on a journey of dialogue. We are most grateful for the fruits of this dialogue of love and truth, which confirm that a diversity of customs and disciplines is in no way an obstacle to unity, and that certain differences in theological expressions are often complementary rather than conflicting. It is our prayerful hope that our theological dialogue may help us to smooth the path to the long-awaited day when we will be able to celebrate together the Lord's sacrifice on the same altar. In the meantime, we intend to move forward in mutual recognition and shared witness to the Gospel. Our common Baptism is the solid foundation of the real communion that already exists between us: "in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body" (1 Cor12:13). Walking together in trust, we seek the charity that "binds everything together in perfect harmony" (Col 3:14).

Отруєння в Еймсбері — трагічний випадок з двома цивільними громадянами Великої Британії, який стався наприкінці червня 2018 року в місті Еймсбері і був кваліфікований як отруєння речовиною нервово-паралітичної дії сімейства «Новичок». Постраждали Дон Стюрджесс () та Чарлі Ровлі (). 8 липня Дон Стюрджесс внаслідок отруєння померла.

Британські слідчі підозрюють двох російських громадян зі складу ГРУ ГШ РФ у безпосередньому вчинені замаху на Скрипалів. У Велику Британію вони потрапили з дійсними російськими паспортами, але, видані, ймовірно, під вигадані імена — Олександр Петров та Руслан Боширов. Учасники групи Bellingcat встановили, що останній — полковник ГРУ РФ Анатолій Чепига.

Перебіг подій
30 червня 2018 року у місті Еймсбері, що розташоване у 11 км від Солсбері, після контакту з предметом, який містив «Новачок» або його залишки цивільні громадяни, Дон Стюрджесс (, мати трьох дітей, вік 44 роки) та Чарлі Ровлі (, вік 45 років) стали відчувати себе зле і були доставлені у шпиталь. Знайдений на вулиці флакон з невідомою речовиною жінка прийняла за парфуми та нанесла його вміст собі на руки та обличчя.

Внаслідок отруєння 8 липня Дон Стюрджесс загинула, її загибель була кваліфікована як убивство і поліція розпочала слідство. Чарлі Ровлі, її партнер, залишається у критично тяжкому стані у лікарні.

Імовірно, пара випадково натрапила на ємність, використану зловмисниками при спробі отруєння Скрипалів, проте поліції не вдалось знайти цей предмет.

10 липня 2018 року стало відомо, що Чарлі Ровлі досі залишається в критичному стані, хоча його здоров'я трохи поліпшилось і він при тямі.

У середу, 11 липня, в помешканні Чарлі Ровлі слідчим вдалось знайти ємність (невелику пляшку) в якій знаходилась отруйна речовина «новачок», якою отруїлась пара. Знайдена речовина була відправлена у лабораторію на аналіз аби встановити, чи це та сама порція, якою був отруєний Сергій Скрипаль з донькою.

15 липня брат постраждалого повідомив, що отрута знаходилась у флаконі з-під парфумів, який був підібраний постраждалим.

20 липня Чарлі Ровлі було виписано з лікарні, за ствердженням медиків його життю нічого не загрожує.

Реакція
Міністр оборони Великої Британії Гевін Вільямсон звинуватив Росію у загибелі британки Дон Стерджесс: «Проста дійсність така, що дії Росії призвели до смерті британської громадянки». Голова МВС Британії  Саджид Джавід також зажадав пояснень від Росії та заявив, що «наші міста - не місце для розповсюдження отрути».

Міністр закордонних справ Австралії Джулі Бішоп «глибоко засмучена» через загибель Дон Стюрджесс. «Росія повинна пояснити, яким чином "Новічок" з'явився у Сполученому Королівстві», — сказала австралійський посадовець. За словами очільниці зовнішньополітичного відомства Австралії, РФ також повинна оприлюднити стан своїх запасів «Новічка» — речовини нервово-паралітичної дії російського виробництва бойового класу.

The only fine print I saw is the end time/date, so it doesn't appear that there are any limits to the number of domain names that you can register or that can be registered as part of this promotion. If I hear otherwise, I will let you know.
So, are these prices also special?
What's the difference between Moniker and Network Solutions, which has a rack rate of $35/name for .com? Customer service and other loyalty reasons. If you are loyal to Name.com, it's a good price. I suppose if you have no loyalty to one registrar and choose where to register a name based on price, it probably isn't such a great deal.

Westport family's home to be warmer this winter, thanks to "safe & sound" grant
One local family is looking forward to a warmer, safer home this winter, thanks to a Wells Fargo/NeighborWorks America "Safe & Sound" grant, with a little help from the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County, known as HAPEC.
Andrew and Laurie Harrington have known for a while now that they faced some challenges with their old house. The family's home has stood along Main Street since the late 1800s, fronting on Route 9N which winds down into the historic village on Lake Champlain. The couple bought the home eight years ago and raised their children there. The well-worn old house, probably among the oldest in the county, had weatherization needs as well as structural problems which presented safety issues.
And there was the matter of the heat – during the winter months, water would freeze in a glass left overnight in the master bedroom in the back half of the home, part of a poorly executed addition many decades ago. Andrew Harrington said it was cold in the back of the home all winter, despite the fact that his baseboard electric heaters were constantly running.
"There was very little insulation anywhere in the house," Mr. Harrington said. Disabled now, the Westport resident is studying accounting and finds a little work helping with tax returns. Unable to meet the cost of an insulation overhaul, the Harringtons faced high heating bills every season.
Other serious needs were evident; the chimney was, in Andrew's words, falling down. The porch on the front of the house was caving in. The basement stairs had missing steps. Significant rehabilitation work was needed, but the family simply could not afford it.
"We were on a waiting list for a weatherization grant, and it had been years. Then, HAPEC called this summer, and from there the whole process was simple," Mr. Harrington said on a recent autumn afternoon. The paperwork, he said, was not complicated.
"We went over the work write-up with Bruce (Misarski) from HAPEC and the contractor, and agreed on all the work in advance," Harrington recalled. There were substantial tasks at hand: leveling and stabilizing the front porch, replacing damaged and rotted decking, and repainting the wooden elements. The chimney was to be repointed and a UL-listed chimney liner installed. The attic was to be insulated, windows were to be repaired and the basement stairs fixed. The rear addition needed to be extensively rehabbed, roofed and sided. There was also some plumbing, electrical and flooring work to do.
The Harringtons had high praise for the contractor, Elizabethtown-based Stevens Construction, who did the job this summer, saying the crew was prompt and friendly.
After three weeks of hard work, all the tasks were completed, and the family couldn't be more pleased. Andrew said they are looking forward to significantly lower heating bills this winter. The porch now stands up straight, and the home is both safer and sturdier.
"I feel a whole lot better about the house. We're well up to code now," Mr. Harrington said as he surveyed his kitchen, which the family had recently repainted themselves. "It's nice to see it all come together."
The Harringtons say they enjoyed working with HAPEC and their contractor, and would recommend both to their friends and neighbors in Westport.
"This project really made a difference for us. It was a completely positive experience," he recalled.
HAPEC is a HUD-certified Housing Counseling Agency and is a charter member of NeighborWorks America. Based in Elizabethtown, HAPEC offers homebuyer classes, credit counseling and other assistance. Visit www.hapec.org for more information.

Melanophryne – wyróżniany przez część autorów rodzaj płazów bezogonowych z rodziny wąskopyskowatych, obejmujący gatunki występujące endemicznie w Peru.

Gatunki
 Melanophryne barbatula
 Melanophryne carpish

Z analizy filogenetycznej przeprowadzonej przez de Sá i współpracowników (2012) wynika, że dwa gatunki zaliczane do rodzaju Nelsonophryne (N. aequatorialis i N. aterrima) nie tworzą kladu, do którego nie należałyby również gatunki zaliczane do rodzaju Ctenophryne i być może również Melanophryne; w związku z tym autorzy zsynonimizowali rodzaje Nelsonophryne i Melanophryne z rodzajem Ctenophryne, przenosząc do tego ostatniego rodzaju gatunki zaliczane we wcześniejszych publikacjach do dwóch pierwszych rodzajów.

bluefin tuna length 2021


I'm going to teach a course which is called Understanding Russians.
the first week is introduction.
The first question is, to make to know each other.
By education and training, I'm a linguist.
I researched grammars of various languages.
even before I knew it was called like that.
At that time in Russia we didn't have this term.
this course as well and for For people who are interested in Russian culture.
did research abroad, enough to be able to compare cultures and to think about it.
And the most important thing, I was always interested.
people of different cultures, how they manage to understand each other.
And I think that you are here also for the same reasons.
Probably because you are interested in Russia, Russians, and Russian culture.
Our course is centered around the following topics.
The first is what Russians talk about.
The second, how we do it.
And third, why Russians talk and behave like that.
why they talk about What is about talking here?
us to understand each other, to make sense of the things, so we need to talk.
We need to understand, we need to communicate.
Communication is essential to our lives.
Actually everything that we do when we get up, make coffee, go to work.
Everything else before we end again sleeping is communication.
we make connections with people, we conceptualize things.
We assess things going around.
We even express our emotions through communication of course.
So, it is essential and this is the only way to interact with people and the world.
And communication is interaction indeed.
It has all of the features of interaction.
intercultural communication with the area object Russian culture.
Also I need to say what this course is not.
what not to do when you deal with Russians.
commands, or direct Denies of certain actions.
It's also not a manual on doing business interculturally.
and motivating topic and something that is really in demand for people.
But there are many very great resources for this.
interesting resource that provides a lot of useful practical information.
what we're talking about in the course, or maybe you disagree.
what may be written on this page, on this website.
This is exactly what we need, we need some substance To be discussing it.
in the ways you introduce yourself, how you interact with strangers.
ideas or prejudices that you may consider as such.
So what is behind that?
you may find in many different sources both on the web or in the books.
stupid ideas about Russians all the time do this and that.
Something like the bears on the streets of Moscow.
Well, also what it's not.
It's not a course in communication theory, or any other theory.
that will allow us to describe those issues that we are interested.
But in a way, I would say I would generalize like falling.
This is, of course, about special knowledge and soft skills in one package.
Special knowledge here is knowledge about Russian.
am able to render all this in one course because it's a huge topic.
like the ability to communicate, to relate with people.
ability to be culturally sensitive and understand potential problems.
of different cultures and motivation and wish to overcome them.
Now, how will it be organized?
There will be my lectures, of course.
Each week of the 8-week course, you will have several mini-lectures.
there will be several of them during one week, and they will cover one big topic.
short interviews with external expats, external experts, I'm sorry.
who will tell you about certain specific cases of real live Russian interaction.
self assess your advance in the course.
We plan two assignments with peer evaluation.
better assessing your work through the eyes of other people who do the same.
Work the same job and who are in the same boat with you.
and not less important are discussion forums.
also Especially because this is a course on communication.
where you will raise issues.
those things that will be presented to you here as an objective from me.
mostly in the aspect of communication but this is about culture.
talking about one's culture is a fascinating but very risky past time.
Exactly because it is sensitive.
We will raise uncomfortable issues and topics.
If we do not, then this course doesn't make any sense.
exist between people of different cultures and nationalities.
discuss it openly and sincerely.
the sake of acquiring knowledge on it, for understanding, and for creating empathy.
be delicate in our attitudes for these issues.
we want to have some objective truth if there is objective truth in such issues.
And that's why it may be Unpleasant or uncomfortable.
one's feelings by doing it on purpose.
What I understand by creating empathy.
from the perspective of another person, and with the eyes of another person.
ideas, but it's an ability at least to see it from that perspective.
to be able to see it from the other side so to say.
So there will be some discussion rules.
on the page where the forum will be opened.
We don't discuss people as it.
I suggest that we beware stereotyping.
we will talk about stereotypes.
But generally, even now, we all understand what stereotyping is.
broader understanding, deeper understanding of things.
we will avoid loaded language, we will try to be mindful in our communication.
One more thing I would like to say is that And i will probably repeat it many times.
mathematics or maybe nuclear physics.
Exactly because culture is about values, beliefs.
Because it's somewhere between, within us.
It's sort of about our soul, if we can use this concept in an academic course.
You can just relate culture as a number of female data, statistics, just information.
audience, to your public when you talk about cultural issues.
And usually people do this with stories, sometimes with anecdotal evidence.
don't be sceptical if I will tell you Stories, because cultures are narratives.
what they want to do, what they like, what they dislike.
and this is about any culture.
statistics, but when you tell stories of culture.
So this phrase, you'll hear it in this course.
impersonal, they will be personal, and I hope you will like it.
