Why NHL players aren't going to the 2022 Olympics in Beijing
Concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic — along with a wave of shutdowns across the league — has forced the NHL to prohibit its players from leaving for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
According to the Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, the league and NHL Players Association are in agreement that the league will not send any of its players to Beijing in February for the 2022 games.
The news comes just days after the NHL said that it would be postponing all games and practices from Dec. 22-25, and that players will need to return to their teams on Dec. 26. The day following Christmas will be used for testing, and any practices scheduled for that day must be held after 2 p.m. local time.
It said the schedule will resume on Monday, Dec. 27.
NHL players have in the past filled up Olympic hockey rosters. So why won't they be competing in the Olympics in 2022? Sporting News breaks it down.
The first game in the Winter Olympics is scheduled to be held on Feb. 9 between the Russian Olympic Committee and Switzerland. With the start months away, it would seem that players would have plenty of time to quarantine and be prepared for the games without any problem.
But between the upcoming break and the games already lost by COVID-19, the NHL has a flurry of postponed matchups it will need to make up. According to the Daily Faceoff , there were 44 games postponed last week, and with the postponement of the remaining five games between Dec. 22 and 25, the total comes up to 49. It also reported that there are 118 players in active COVID-19 protocol. In addition, 10 teams had already shut down its facilities, according to the report.
NHL players had been permitted to compete in the 2022 Olympic Games in the 2020 collective bargaining agreement , and they were granted a break to compete in the games. However, the CBA acknowledged that there could be a situation where the schedule "may need to be altered or modified to adjust for unforeseen and compelling circumstances."
The NHL currently has no games scheduled between Feb. 3 and Feb. 23 with ice hockey set to take place in Beijing between Feb. 9 and Feb. 20. The league has sent players to the Olympics five times, all coming between 1998 and 2014.
Before the NHL and NHLPA decided to shut down the regular season for the holiday break, they had ceased cross-border travel, calling off any game that had a Canadian-based team playing a U.S.-based team, the sides said in a joint statement . In addition, they announced player participation in the Olympics had become a topic of discussion.
"Given the disruption to the NHL's regular-season schedule caused by recent COVID-related events 27 games had been postponed as of Saturday and at least 12 more will be postponed through Dec. 23 and the continued uncertainty caused by the ongoing COVID pandemic, the NHL and NHLPA are actively discussing the matter of NHL Player participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, and expect to be in a position to announce a final determination in the coming days," the statement read.

Will the 2022 Olympics be postponed?
While NHL players hoping for a chance at a gold medal would benefit from the games being pushed back due to the rise in cases, it seems unlikely the Games will be moved.
According to a report from Yahoo Sports , Juan Antonio Samaranch, the chair of the Coordination Commission for the Beijing Games, said that the games will start on Feb. 4, as originally planned, and that there are no plans to push it back. Samaranch said that Beijing has a "closed loop" system that will be prepared to handle everything.
"The answer is no," Samarach said, according to Yahoo Sports, when asked about the games being postponed.
The 2020 Olympics had been pushed back to 2021 due to the pandemic.

Reportedly, Saudis like to visit Mumbai for the girls.
In May 2010, embassies in New Delhi warned of an imminent 'terror' attack.
The terror alert comes days after Pakistan and India agreed to resume ministerial-level talks.
There is a theory that the Pentagon would like to see India broken up, just like Yugoslavia.
Saudi Arabia has a history of helping the Pentagon.
"During the 1980s, when the Reagan administration secretly arranged for an estimated $34 million to be funneled through Saudi Arabia to the Contras in Nicaragua, (Osama's eldest brother) Salem bin Laden aided in this cause."
According to Indian authorities, huge sums of money were transferred from Saudi Arabia to Mumbai in the year before the 2006 Mumbai train attacks.
Reportedly Saudi money was used to plan and execute the blasts on Mumbai's suburban trains.

Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan yesterday bangs his gavel to mark the passage of an amendment to Article 5 of the Criminal Code that adds aggravated fraud to a list of offenses committed abroad that can be prosecuted in Taiwan.
Taiwanese who commit aggravated fraud overseas are now to be subject to punishment in Taiwan after the Legislative Yuan passed an amendment to the Criminal Code yesterday.
The amendment to Article 5 of the Criminal Code added "aggravated fraud" to the list of offenses committed "outside the territories of the Republic of China" to which the Criminal Code will apply, making it easier to prosecute suspects in Taiwan.
The revision is to take effect when it is promulgated by the president, a formality that usually takes about two weeks.
Under existing law, aggravated fraud is not among the offenses listed under Article 5, making it nearly impossible for authorities to prosecute alleged fraudsters after they return to Taiwan.
In some cases, offenses committed overseas, but not listed in Article 5, may still be covered by the Criminal Code, but only if they are punishable by at least three years in jail.
As people guilty of fraud in Taiwan face jail sentences of between one and seven years and fines of up to NT$1 million (US$31,378), many cases do not meet the three-year threshold.
These legal loopholes have often forced prosecutors to drop cases against citizens suspected of committing fraud overseas.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Hsu Shu-hua (許淑華), who proposed the amendment, said a spate of recent cross-border telecom fraud cases involving Taiwanese called attention to the nation's lenient treatment of its citizens committing fraud overseas and the possibility that it encouraged more criminal activity.
These cross-border fraud cases have tarnished the image of Taiwan's judicial system and given the impression that "Taiwan is unwilling to harshly crack down on fraud and condones the perpetrators' actions," or that "Taiwan is a haven for fraudsters," she said.
Hsu supported Taiwan's judicial authorities having jurisdiction over Taiwanese who commit fraud overseas, which she said would live up to the expectations of the public and improve the image of the nation's judiciary.
Dozens of Taiwanese have been arrested in countries such as Kenya, Malaysia and Indonesia over the past year for suspected involvement in fraud rings that were scamming people in China.
China then pushed, successfully in most cases, to have Taiwanese sent to China for prosecution rather than to Taiwan, arguing that it had jurisdiction over the cases because the victims were in China and Taiwan would not punish the suspects.

In 1961, Thomas Armstrong sat in a whites-only waiting room at a Jackson, Mississippi, bus station as he and three other Tougaloo College students tried to board a bus for New Orleans.
They were arrested and taken to jail instead.
Later known as the "Tougaloo Four," they marked their place in civil rights history as part of the Freedom Riders movement of some 400 blacks and whites who protested segregated interstate bus systems in the South.
Today, the 77-year-old Naperville resident still speaks to groups about his story -- particularly young people -- asking them to ask themselves: "Who am I?" and "Why am I here on Earth?"
"In the civil rights movement, it was students just like you who were leaders," he told more than 500 juniors and seniors Wednesday afternoon at Buffalo Grove High School. "They became leaders just like you are going to become leaders. When you see things that need to be changed, you're going to have to speak up. When you see wrong, you've got to speak up against it, and you need to try to right that wrong."
Armstrong, talking to students just before Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, was there as the school opened a national traveling exhibit on the Freedom Riders. The exhibit, located in the school library, will be open to schools and community groups from Jan. 28-Feb. 7 during school hours. To sign up for a viewing, visit bit.ly/2Qu6dlX.
The Northwest Suburban High School District 214 Education Foundation funded installation of the exhibit and the program.
Armstrong, who also was to speak during a public event at the school Wednesday night, got involved in the growing civil rights movement in the late 1950s by trying to re-register black voters who were taken off local voting rolls. He later worked to integrate Protestant churches in Jackson before moving to the Chicago area in 1964.
Armstrong on Wednesday encouraged the Buffalo Grove students to speak up against racism, which he called "a sanctuary for the stupid and ignorant." He noted that upon his visits to schools, he often sees students sitting only with others of the same race.
"We don't talk to each other. What's wrong with us?" Armstrong said. "When I go into a public establishment and there's blacks on one side and whites on the another, I sit right in the middle of the whites just to keep it honest. We've got to learn to talk to each other."
Among the students listening to Armstrong Wednesday was Nakayla Brakes, a senior who recently took an elective multicultural literature course, where issues of race were regularly discussed by students of different backgrounds.
"People were comfortable talking about topics you normally don't talk about," Brakes said. "You realize you're not as different as it seemed."

Unsprawl
To Know a Place
by Kelty Miyoshi McKinnon
Every autumn, the City of Portland is visited by a population of creatures who perform such marvelous antics that they are the object of entertainment for evening outings, news articles and websites. The annual arrival of Vaux's Swifts, who careen en masse through the air until funneling tornado-like into the boiler chimney of Chapman Elementary School, has become one of the City's most eloquent events that marks the coming of winter. The Vaux's Swift naturally roosts in tall, hollow trees to keep warm just before their fall migration. As habitat has disappeared, brick chimneys have proven to be a viable alternative. In the past, Chapman Elementary School forfeited fall heat to allow the birds to roost, however, a recent city grant has allowed the school to upgrade to a more fuel efficient heat source while allowing the chimney to remain as pure habitat.1
In the late 90s, Vancouver headlines waxed poetic about the presence of Coyote within the city. Canadians marvelled at the animals' ingenuity to navigate and survive in the urban terrain. The presence of Coyote was correlated to the magnificent siting of the city in the wilderness. In the last two years, the coyote population has grown to an estimated 2000-3000 in the Lower Mainland, causing the City of Vancouver to issue a 'Coyote Alert' and wildlife officials to launch a public awareness campaign to cope with the problem. As the animals have become more brazen in their survival strategies, the tone of the headlines has changed to reflect a growing antagonism between man and beast. Coyotes have become bolder around the downtown core, and reports of them stalking children and plucking chihuahuas from the ends of leashes became more monstrous when two children were attacked and dragged head first into some park shrubbery last summer. A heated debate now divides the city between those who wish to cull by shooting and those who feel it is human responsibility to adapt their own behavior. Autopsies of shot coyotes have revealed that people have been feeding them cooked chicken and other delicacies, lowering their fear of humans.2
In Tokyo, crows have become a leading civic crisis. Corvus macrorhynchous, otherwise known as the Southeast Asian Crow, has found the urban jungle a more hospitable habitat than their native homeland. Ironically, the heat island of Tokyo has been one of the leading attractors of crows migrating to the city. The birds have adapted well to the high rise as perch, and construct their nests of coat hangers and industrial debris. The urban bird has grown bigger and more aggressive than the country dwelling crow. Feeding on Tokyo's protein-rich trash, the crow has doubled the number of eggs it typically lays, and the population has skyrocketed from 3000 to 40,000 in the last fifteen years. The birds have shown a chilling ingenuity in capturing fresh meat. Not only will they strategically place stolen clams on city streets for car tires to break the shells, gangs of crows attack cats and pigeons, pecking out their eyes to disable them before carrying them up into the air to drop them to their death. Lunching salarymen have been attacked for their sushi, and during the breeding season, people have resorted to carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from groups of dive bombing crows intent on protecting their nests. They have been blamed for everything from black eyes to train derailments and city blackouts. The city continues to struggle with this Hitchcockian issue, and several task forces have been formed to solve the problem. The governor of Tokyo has suggested a new urban delicacy: crow meat pie. Other solutions have included large crow traps, the smothering of chicks in their nests, mesh nets for garbage bags and a government plea to Tokyoites to reduce the amount of leftover food they generate.3
The swift, the coyote and the crow hold a power of fascination over us that becomes more overwhelming the closer they touch our lives. These kinds of urban encounters with wild animals are becoming increasingly numerous, diverse and startling. As we persist with land use policies that treat land outside the urban realm as exploitable open space and 'natural resources,' animals are left with smaller and more fragmented patches of land within which to dwell. Additionally, the rural buffer between city and 'wilderness' is rapidly disappearing, as farmers are either out competed by large agribusiness or are surrounded and absorbed by urban sprawl. Ultimately, many animals stumble into the city in search of food, often following what were once intact migration routes.
We are already familiar with a diverse group of urban-dwelling animals and insects. Rats, mice and cockroaches are our common neighbours. But these creatures invoke disgust and an incessant desire to eradicate them. So why do certain animals invoke admiration while others inspire pity or disdain? The process of relegation is ripe territory for exploration, for in this process are imbedded many assumptions about our positioning in relationship to nature itself.
Today, we understand that our relations with nature are culturally mediated and constructed through our conceptions of identity and difference. Our various classification systems adopt a certain framework within which to categorize and view something. It makes us look for (if not create) certain traits to prove the validity of the system. The language we create to designate separation and affinity amongst animals and between ourselves is part of our language of nature. Our systems of classification actively impose categories that contain our desires, assumptions, values and associations. Nature with a capital 'N' is culture.
The rat, pigeon and roach belong to a group of animals known as the R-selected species. Brought to America by Europeans, they are characterized as breeding across seasons, and having high levels of reproduction and short life spans. They are highly adaptable and able to aggressively out compete and prey on other plants and animals.4 Symbols of our inability to control nature, these animals are assumed to spread disease and contaminate our food supply, and are much reviled. Without benefiting us in any way, they enter our cities and compete with us for food and lodging. These species are often considered unnatural, though they thrive when thrown into our lives. We are forced to contend with their nests, their shit, their insatiable appetites and unrestrained libidos—their most intimate biologies.
Coyotes, cougars and bears, however, hold a different kind of presence. As animals we correlate with nature, their sojourn in the city is often met with media coverage, public viewing and much general excitement. In the urban context, these animals are in a place we believe they do not belong, and a sighting is a rare and unusual event. Animals are a screen for our own projected desires, and it is arguable that as our 'wild and natural' spaces are developed and encroached upon certain species begin to represent, if not actually become, the entirety of these systems. The presence of Bear, for example, holds all that we associate and idealize with that bear: crystal clear streams, healthy salmon stocks, alpine meadows—in short, wild and pristine Nature.
As Bear breaches the physical distance between us by entering the city, it invokes complex emotions of wonder mixed with fear as it holds the virtual reality of an awesome sense of nature which is idealized as existing just outside the city limits, combined with the inherent threat of competition for space. After all, human space is essentially our space, and by entering the urban zone, animals have ceased 'playing by our rules'.
We are accustomed to the presence of the image of animals all around us. They are recalled in our architecture, entertainment, myths and language. Even our cars are named after them. Images of animals are conflated with street and architecture to recall not the physical presence of these animals, but the ideals they signify. "(These) animals of the mind, instead of being dispersed, have been co-opted into other categories so that the category 'animal' has lost its central importance"5. By becoming 'animals of the mind,' they lose their physicality. When we do come face to face with a live wild animal within the city, perhaps the strongest realization is that "you are looking at something that has been rendered absolutely marginal; and all the concentration you can muster will never be enough to centralize it"6. Our equation of wild animals to a resplendent nature, which for the most part no longer exists, begins to break down as contact increases in frequency and intensity. We are forced to contend with a new kind of startling and complex confrontation with active, willful, self-actualizing beings. As they begin to adapt behaviorally to the urban landscape, they lose the lustre of pristine nature and begin to fluctuate on the juncture between allure and abhorrence. This zone of ambiguity holds the threat of competition and gives us no easy answers of how to live with the uncertainty of what our relationship to nature should be.
Virtual Reality: The Sublime
Insight into our uncertain response to 'nature-al' ambiguity may be garnered by looking closer at the sublime characteristics associated with the wild animal. In 18th century Europe, a period popular for the analysis and classification of causes and effects, a discourse developed on aesthetic qualities and feelings. Emotional responses to art, poetry and landscape were studied and systematized into aesthetic categories. The sublime was one such code that explored elements of terror and the unknown within the landscape: gothic ruins, rugged cliffs, darkened grottoes and densely planted groves were strewn across the land to great effect. These elements were never approachable; they were viewed from afar, atop viewing towers or from the safety of a path. As Edmond Burke theorized, "When danger or pain press too nearly, they are incapable of giving any delight, and they are simply terrible, but at certain distances and with certain modifications, they…are delightful."7 Wonder and delight arose from the threat of danger and pain, the strongest emotions the mind was thought capable of feeling, combined with the tranquility of the realization of safety. Only by firing the passions, not weakening them, could the sublimity be tolerated.
The glimpse of bear or cougar or coyote within the city is a sublime moment tolerable only so far as it maintains its distance. Its wildness delights and titillates, but is framed and constructed by the empowered gaze of the observer: its sublimity is not true 'nature,' but the fantasy created and projected onto the furred, scaled, feathered body. This distancing and subjecting to the gaze relegates the animal to passive backdrop to human activity. As 'screen,' it lacks an interiority. Biologically and psychologically, it is denied self-actualization. Expectations that wild animals be seen and not heard, that they not get too close, reveal that we still believe we hold dominion over animals and nature. We still operate under the dichotomy of nature versus culture, a Cartesian model that treats landscape and all that it embodies as a series of inanimate objects strewn across the terrain. We have insisted on a hierarchy of life that demarcates us the beneficiary of a food chain that we have declared ourselves at the top of, if not outside of altogether.
As these animals enter our lives, they push us into a web of complexity of an ecosystem we did not design, but one that is a direct result of our large-scale transformation of ecological systems. As wild animals adapt to urban conditions and learn new strategies for survival, their presence deconstructs the illusion of an existing Edenic nature upon which we depend for peace of mind about our modus operandi. Not only are we forced into interaction to avoid the consequence of a stolen lunch, abducted Chihuahua or mauled child; to maintain the order of our nests, we are forced into a face-to-face encounter with our own animal-ness and the consequences of our radical disruption of natural systems.
As we affect and transform nature, so we are affected and transformed by nature. The visual presence of wild animals takes on new symbolic meaning as the memento mori of pristine nature. Just as Burke's architectural follies functioned within the pastoral landscape to provoke the sense of mystery and awe of lost civilizations (and the threat of the repetition of the disaster that was their demise), so too does the animal presence act as a 'ruin' of pristine nature forcing its way into the consciousness of our urban spaces. Unlike follies, however, these interlopers refuse to keep their distance. Thus, our vision of the mythical constant of a pure and unchanging American wilderness is abruptly negated by the very active challenge of animal competition.
Beyond the Sublime: New Approaches to Landscape
As landscape architects and planners, we have a direct influence on the shaping of the land and its systems through design practice and the land use policies we affect. With the wonder and fear of animal contact comes an urgency to the current practice of landscape architecture and planning. Self-reflection and analysis on our psychic estrangement from animal-nature leaves no room for naiveté in how we overtly and complicitly affect ecological systems and their inhabitants. Landscape Architecture is a cultural practice that simultaneously molds our environment, but also our perceptions of it. As a representational act, landscape architecture has a responsibility to further the discourse on contemporary notions of nature and urbanity. As metaphors for nature, animals can open up new ways of understanding larger, more complex and abstract systems and spur the imagining of new landscape hybrids.
Oversimplifying and polarizing nature and culture have resulted in two extreme post-Enlightenment notions of nature that have largely been perpetuated by the profession of landscape architecture.8 The first invokes nature as a domain independent of culture: the foundation of authenticity. This version of pristine nature was perpetuated through the particularly American invention of the idea of virgin nature landscape imagery of Ansel Adams and John Muir. Creating and perpetuating this myth with images of nature without human traces, they contributed to the irreconcilable nature/culture polarity: a version of nature sleek, pristine and devoid of humans.9 The alternate point of view posits nature as nonexistent outside of culture, purely a cultural construct. This postmodern viewpoint refuses to see nature as a static constant yet so focuses on the historical objectification of nature, that ultimately it is still denied its own subjectivity.
Though these individual approaches to nature—the ecological and the postmodern—are inadequate, they go largely unchallenged by the profession. Robert Riley, professor of landscape architecture at the University of Illinois, analyzes this juncture: "In landscape architecture, in North America, the two factions coexist, easily and comfortably, in the office and in the classroom, sliding past one another with neither friction nor engagement, this is perhaps not surprising, given the unphilosophical, nonconfrontational, and thoroughly apolitical character of the profession and discipline on this side of the Atlantic."10 Landscape Architectural education and practice today largely persist in either the proliferation of visual scenography (the Sublime, the Beautiful, the Picturesque and the Modern), or the manufacture of a nature that bears no traces of cultural mediation. Both of these design expressions espouse outdated constructions of nature that fail to keep pace with contemporary theory and ecological understanding. The results are often inert, disengaged and ecologically destructive.
If we accept that our built landscapes are constituted (wittingly or unwittingly) by theory, then design professionals can consciously re-present nature/culture relationships as a form of theoretical discourse/environmental activism. If we are able to move beyond the strictly visual, our engagement with site-specific influences would therefore include not only the usual physical and environmental phenomena comprising the immediate site, but the larger social /cultural milieu, and the underpinnings of the site as part of a larger functioning biological body. The creation of open ended Cultural landscapes that raise the issues of habitat and biology open up possibilities for new kinds of engagement with nature and all that constitutes it. Rather than regurgitated answers and experiences, landscapes that provoke questions and draw connections place the onus back on the user to create a dialogue, to think and to become actively engaged, rather than passively entertained.
Acknowledging our affiliations and connections with nature allows us to co-adapt and learn to live with nature as it learns to live with us. Philosopher Kate Soper offers another way of re-thinking Nature: "It is not clear that by becoming more mystical or religious about nature one necessarily overcomes the damaging forms of separation or loss of concern which has been the result of a secular and instrumental rationality. What is really needed, one might argue, is not so much new forms of reverence and awe of nature, but rather to extend it to some of the more painful forms of concern we have for ourselves. The sense of rupture and distance which has been encouraged by secular rationality may be better overcome, not by worshipping nature that is 'other' to humanity but through a process of re-sensitization to our combined separation from it and dependence on it."11 The kind of empathy Soper imagines breaches that distance between our bodies and the natural world. A 're-sensitization' would attune us to an 'ubiquitous landscape "that includes the microcosmic and the macrocosmic, economies as well as ecologies, the cultural as an extension of the natural, our bodies as themselves natural systems that pattern our thoughts, and our thoughts as structured around metaphors drawn from nature."12
Our interaction with animal/nature reveals that our responses are conditioned, complex, fragmented and ambiguous. All of our possibilities and understandings of nature co-exist, and are not mutually exclusive. Our challenge is to acknowledge the complexity of the modern bestiary; with all of its fact, myth, rumor, fable and legend; and to responsibly explore the possibilities for design intervention.

Since 2002, Shirakawa Audio Works has been Marantz's manufacturing home. Around 200 people work in this massive facility, a mix of local talent and audiophiles from all across Japan, all on a quest to find the most melodic sound imaginable.
Denon's AVRs, at least the bottom half of their portfolio, have been built in China for some years. The Pioneer AVRs are built at the same subcontracting plant.
For more than 70 years, Onkyo has been creating and producing audio equipment, and it is one of Japan's remaining family-owned home audio manufacturers. The firm has built a solid reputation for combining audio engineering with cutting-edge technology.
Yamaha manufactures AVRs in three countries: Malaysia, China, and Japan. The facility in Northern China is around three years old and mostly produces lower-cost AVRs due to reduced labor expenses than in Malaysia.
The Quest Organization
I spoke with Sandy Gross, co-founder of GoldenEar, in the AudioQuest suite at CES the next week, and was pleased to discover that he would be continuing in his former capacity at the new firm for the time being. Gross has decided to leave The Quest Group to pursue his "various interests," according to his announcement.

Klipsch Audio Technologies is the parent company of Voxx International.
We're a tiny speaker business situated in Austin, Texas, and our goal is to create goods that sound excellent while still being affordable.
It's reassuring to know that there is still a firm that manufactures stand-alone goods with quality rather than quantity in mind. Boston Acoustics has used its two decades of high-performance engineering to produce an AM-FM clock radio with few competitors.

Denon and Marantz combined in 2002 to establish D&M Holdings. Sound United LLC finalized the purchase of D+M Holdings on Ma.
Sound United LLC is a company that specializes in sound.
Denon is a well-known brand that has a long history of creating high-quality receivers. Denon is, without a doubt, one of the greatest brands for home theater receivers. Denon's pricing are a little more than Onkyo's, but they're worth it since you get what you pay for with them.
Pioneer and Onkyo home audio are currently owned by Denon parent Sound United. Several prominent audio brands may now be found in one location.
As fiscal 2021 drew to a conclusion, Onkyo was compelled to once again state that the firm is bankrupt, despite a significant effort involved negotiating a big debt-for-equity transaction with one or more multinational equity groups that eventually failed.

As the British planned the defensive works on Burlington Heights they were aware of the importance of the road that ran along the top. The British commanders expected an American assault along the road . In order to protect the guns and the gunners during battle an earthen defensive wall was constructed to absorb or deflect enemy fire. The forward wall of the battery was designed to allow the guns to fire through the earthen works defenses. In order to keep the guns from sinking into the soft ground, they sat on wooden platforms. The battery was at the southern end of the third line of defense. In the 1830's Sir Allan MacNab the builder of Dundurn Castle erected his gate house on top of what had been the battery. The gate house became known as Battery Lodge.

The FDA has approved Nymalize (nimodipine; Arbor) oral solution for the treatment of patients experiencing symptoms resulting from a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nimodipine is a calcium-channel blocker indicated to improve neurological outcome of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured intracranial berry aneurysms, regardless of post-ictus neurological condition.
Nimodipine has been available as a 30mg liquid-filled gel capsule. However, the FDA has received reports of serious and fatal consequences (eg, death, cardiac arrest, severe hypotension, etc) from IV injection of the liquid contents of oral nimodipine capsules. In 2006, a Boxed Warning was added to the drug to warn against IV administration.
The approval of Nymalize is based on clinical studies evaluating the use of nimodipine oral capsules in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nymalize received fast track designation and priority review based on its potential to reduce medication errors.
Nymalize oral solution will be launched in the next few months.

Children flee Parkland apartment as shooting leaves three dead
Sun |
wire — Apr 11th, 1997
PARKLAND (AP) -- A man fatally shot his estranged wife and her boyfriend before killing himself Thursday at an apartment complex in this town south of Tacoma, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office said.
A 12-year-old girl called 911 to report that her mother, Sheila Slaughter, 31, had been shot at the Drake Apartments, sheriff's spokesman Curt Benson said.
The 12-year-old, a 10-year-old sister and an 8-year-old brother all got out of the apartment safely, he said.
"As they were fleeing the apartment, one of the girls actually got blood on her from being in close proximity to the mother," Benson said.
Deputies discovered the bodies of Sheila and Darryl Slaughter, 33, and the boyfriend, whose name was not released.
Both the Slaughters had received temporary protection orders against one another last April in Pierce County Superior Court, KING-TV reported.
Slaughter contended that when he told his wife he wanted a divorce, "she threatened to burn me with a pot of rice."
Sheila Slaughter, in seeking her protection order, said at the time, "my husband beat me up ... and told me if I called police, he would kill me."
The protection orders expired, but they sought reinstatement again last month, KING-TV said. A judge told them to wait until their divorce was final, the Seattle television station reported.

Although this had made it hard to tell them apart, there are some clear stand out members who have not only been dancing over the years but have ventured into other career paths and have become well known.
One of them is Jordan Banjo, who has made his spotlight in the showbiz industry with fellow Diversity dance Perri Kiely.
They were both backstage presenters for the fourth series of Sky's 'Got to Dance' and now both co-host Kiss FM's weekday breakfast show.
Alone, Jordan took part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2016 where we got to see his personality and his natural charisma.
Most recently, he was part of the popular ITV guessing show The Masked Dancer where he dressed as the Viper.
With all of the work he's been doing, his bank balance has increased and his current net worth is estimated anywhere between the thousands and £1 million.
Away from the cameras, Jordan lives a quiet life with Naomi Courts and his two children, Cassius Ashley Banjo and Mayowa 'Mimi' Angel, who he shares with his current partner.
Jordan has emotionally revealed that his fiancée Naomi was nearly put in an 'induced coma' after battling sepsis twice.
According to the Daily Mail, Jordan revealed that Naomi got 'really ill, really quickly' following the birth of their daughter Mimi, who is now aged 15 months, in July 2019.
The dancer added that she spent the 'better half of a month' in hospital and at one stage it was 'touch and go'.
Jordan previously dated childhood friend Jesy Nelson from Little Mix, with the pair in a relationship for 10 months. They split up in 2013.

Personal happiness is most easily gained by bringing happiness to others.
Happiness may be temporary, but we all want it, and that's okay, as long as we don't depend on the emotion of happiness like an extreme athlete depends on adrenaline.
Here's another thing we need to realize about happiness: It's harder to come by when we place it in things. Whether we depend on cars, a home, a raise, an outfit, or a meal for happiness, our happiness meter is going to jump all over the place as these things come and go.
A better way to gain happiness is to do things for others. Make others happy, and the happiest person will be you. Make others happy all the time, and your happiness will turn to joy.

Home Life and Science Health and Education Students Forced to "Sit and Stare"
Students Forced to "Sit and Stare"
At Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Washington, not one junior took Common Core Smarter Balanced (SBAC) standardized tests this spring. At four other Seattle high schools, district officials said about 95% of juniors refused to take the tests.
Seattle-area juniors boycotted tests because they aren't needed in order to graduate from high school and because it is predicted that between 60-70% of students will fail. Students are using refusal as a protest against too much standardized testing. Sophomores must take the test because the reading portion is a graduation requirement.
Teachers at Nathan Hale High School planned to boycott the exams but changed their minds when state and district officials intervened. (Seattle Times, 4-28-15)
The claim that the U.S. Department of Education could withhold funding under No Child Left Behind if not enough students take the mandated tests is disputed.
Punishing Students for Opting Out
Many parents feel that the education system is too focused on standardized tests and that classroom activity focuses mainly on what will appear on tests. Some frustrated parents feel that opposition to Common Core is futile because no one seems to be listening to their concerns. Many believe the last hope to control their children's education that parents have is to protect them from taking tests.
At a time when unprecedented numbers of students are opting out of taking spring 2015 standardized tests, controversy has emerged concerning what those students who opt out are allowed to do while other students take tests. In some schools, students must sit quietly with no alternative activity while others take tests. Even young students are not allowed to read or draw. They can only sit. And stare.
Some are calling this punishment for opting out.
In many cases parents couldn't keep students at home on testing days for fear of repercussions over truancy.
Defending his decision to make students sit and stare, allowing no alternative activity to taking the assessments, Brian Schmitt, superintendent of the Genesee Valley Central School District in western New York, said of students opting out of testing, "We were not going to reward them by having them do something that other students may perceive as either fun or more interesting than taking the assessment, because that's not fair to kids who were doing the right thing."
In New York, there are three days of math tests and three of English language arts, for a total of six days; each day's test lasts 90 minutes.
Richard Hughes, the superintendent of Central Valley, New York schools makes students sit and stare for the first thirty minutes with the test booklet in front of them before allowing them to read quietly at their desks. About 40% of Central Valley students refused to take the English assessment.
Is it Bullying?
At some schools in New York, educators have been inundated with emails asking that they stop making students sit and stare. A few parents put signs on their minivans asking that the procedure be stopped. One parent's minivan had a sign on which was written, "Central Valley sit and stare policy" next to two frowning faces.
Some superintendents feel that parents who opt their students out of tests and protest the sit and stare policies are behaving in a "bullying" manner.
But others wonder who might actually be doing the bullying, when schools try to force testing on children whose parents don't believe in them and have no confidence in the tests' efficacy. One parent said about bullying, "Honestly, we believe that's what sit and stare is."
In some schools students who are not taking the tests are allowed to go to the library or another designated location to read.
It is estimated that about 150,000 out of over one million New York students opted out of testing this year, which is more than double the number from last year. (New York Times, 4-23-15)
The 95% Controversy
Pressure from the federal government is causing trouble for local districts.
A May 6, 2015 letter to the editor published in Education Week states, "There is no reasonable basis in federal law for recent U.S. Department of Education threats to punish states, districts, or schools if significant numbers of parents opt their children out of standardized tests." Letter writer Monty Neill, the Executive Director of FairTest, criticizes "dubious claims about potential sanctions made by Education Department staff members," who are trying to scare states and districts. He says, "Federal officials are fabricating threats to discourage parents from opting out."
Neill continues:
The original No Child Left Behind Act did state that 95% of students must take the test for a school to make adequate yearly progress. If they did not, the school faced sanctions. However, NCLB sanctions no longer apply to schools in the vast majority of states that have waivers from the federal law. In the few non-waiver states, virtually all schools have failed to make adequate yearly progress, so they face no additional risk from not meeting the rule on 95% participation.
In Idaho, the Madison School District's board of trustees voted unanimously in February against giving third-grade through high-school students the Idaho Standards Achievement Test, the fancy alternate name Idaho assigned to the federally funded Smarter Balanced (SBAC) Common Core tests. The district planned to offer an alternative test that is shorter, cheaper to administer, and gets results back to schools faster.
But the superintendent and board reversed their decision when state officials in Boise claimed that Madison's refusal to use SBAC could cost the state millions of dollars. They said that Idaho is required to have 95% of students take the Common Core test or lose their No Child Left Behind waiver, which the federal Dept. of Education issued and which allows the state to fail to meet federal educational requirements and benchmarks.
40% of Madison district parents opted students out of SBAC tests. The district will allow use of alternative methods of assessment and allow students who opt out of standardized testing to pass on to the next grade level and to eventually graduate. The Madison superintendent said, "We've honored every parent opt out request because we believe it's a parent's right."
But accommodating students has angered other Idaho districts. The superintendent of Bonneville district says, "You can't legally do that . . . they can't opt them out, it's against the law." (IdahoEdNews.org, 4-22-15)
The Washington Post reported on April 20 that schools in 20 states have had problems administering the computer-based tests.

Career-tech scholarship eases struggle for Hinds CC student
July 13, 2018 Danny Barrett 0
Mother of five returns to school to pursue career goals
RAYMOND – The struggle has been real for Gena Barlow long before the concept became a popular talking point.
Gena Barlow
"I was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of six," said Barlow, who grew up around the Byram and Terry area. "Back then, there just wasn't much you could do about it.
"I had a problem keeping up in school. I'd stay up all night studying, but I just struggled with it so bad. With dyslexia, you're still as smart as everybody else. It just takes a little longer to get it. When you get older, you then have so much more life experience to draw on, so your mind has calmed down."
The 54-year-old mother of five left high school early, but earned a GED a few years later. To support her family, she learned bookkeeping from her own mother and managed apartments and other rental properties.
"I really wanted to go back to school, because I could hardly support myself since I lived on the properties," she said. "I just had a fear of failing, and I was busy being a mom."
A leasing agent at her last apartment complex, who was also attending college at the time, persuaded her to go back to school.
"I was nervous about taking notes, but she just said, 'Nah, they have people now who can take notes for you.' I just said 'Wow'!"
Two years later, Barlow finds herself achieving things in school she thought weren't meant for her. She's attending Hinds on the Excellence in Career-Technical Education Scholarship, which has helped tremendously in paying for her continuing education. She's been inducted into the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa on the Raymond Campus and is on track to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree by spring 2019.
She chose to focus on carpentry based on a previous try at a career in real estate brokerage.
"I've always liked working with my hands and like to fix things myself," she said. "I've worked around real estate and property management, so now I want to start making money by building the houses myself."
Her experience at Hinds far exceeded all her initial expectations about going back to school.
"The help I got getting through my first few classes is how I got here," she said. "I wouldn't have made those grades to get the scholarship. And I had no idea what Phi Theta Kappa was at first – I thought it was a sorority! But having an honor society on your resume will get you into so many things after school.
"I have loved it because everybody is so nice. I just can't say enough about the instructors and the people here."

It's hard to overplay the cultural influence of Walmart, the ubiquitous global retail giant that also happens to be America's largest private sector employer.
So, today's decision by the company to publicly stake out a position urging Arkansas's Republican governor to veto a bill that critics say will result in discrimination against gays and lesbians marks something of a turning point in a controversy playing out across a number of US states.
The statement also underscores Walmart's own journey on issues related to gay rights. When Sam Walton started the company in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas, he imbued the chain with a certain small-town conservatism. For instance, it long drew ire for its reluctance to sell music with explicit lyrics.
That conservatism extended to issues of sexual orientation. According to the Arkansas Times:
In the early days of Walmart, being gay meant working in the closet. Rumors circulated that if you came out, you faced being fired. Ten years ago, when queried about bias at company headquarters, one lesbian said she kept a photo of a fake husband on her desk to dispel suspicions. A transsexual said she presented as male to hide her true identity. Another woman reported that after coming out, she was written up, then terminated for what she said was a minor infraction.
Of course, in the 1960s and 1970s that type of environment wasn't uncommon in corporate America. But like the country as a whole, Walmart has made significant shifts in its position on gay rights issues over the past decade. The company first extended its anti-discrimination policy to gay and lesbian employees in 2003, but it took until 2013 for Walmart to extend employee benefits to domestic partners, even as its corporate peers—and numerous states —made benefits for domestic partners compulsory.
A Walmart spokesman said the company "has a long history of working with our associates to build a diverse and inclusive environment that respects all individuals."
While Walmart has taken great strides in recent years, the retailing behemoth is far from a crusading pioneer on gay rights. The company's lagging position makes today's unambiguous statement from chief executive Doug McMillon all the more remarkable.
That Walmart stores blanket the country makes it an authority on catering to American tastes. No doubt the company calculated that this decision wouldn't affect its relationship with Walmart customers, given how far the American public has come on gay rights. Nationwide, roughly 52% of Americans now support gay marriage. Even in America's conservative south, Walmart's historical heartland, according to the Pew Research Center, that support totals 44%.
A timeline of Walmart's long-evolving stance on gay rights:
2003: Walmart includes "sexual orientation" in its employee handbook non-discrimination policy.
2005: Walmart creates an internal corporate resource group called Walmart PRIDE (Promoting, Respect, Inclusion, Diversity & Equity).
2006-2008: Walmart joins the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce only to withdraw from the chamber and cease corporate-level funding to LGBT groups, shortly after a boycott of its stores by the Christian American Family Association.
2008: Walmart receives a 40% rating on the corporate equality index published by the Human Rights Campaign's advocacy group, compared to 93% at Costco and 80% at Target.
2008: Walmart's then-CEO Mike Duke signs a petition to put an initiative on the Arkansas ballot to prevent gay adoption. Board chair Jim Walton donates $75,000 to the initiative. A Walmart spokesman at the time confirmed Duke's signature but noted that the company didn't take a position. The measure passed by popular vote but was repealed by the state supreme court.
March 2011: Gay rights activists join protests against Walmart's so far unsuccessful move to open stores in New York City.
Sept. 2011: Walmart adds transgender provisions to its employee non-discrimination policy.
Aug. 2013: Walmart tells workers it will begin offering health insurance benefits to domestic partners of its 1.3 million US employees. A spokesman said the move was prompted by the increasing number of states adopting laws requiring companies to offer benefits to domestic partners.
2014: Walmart achieves a score of 90 out of 100 on the corporate equality index published by the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT advocacy group.


The ever so gentle onion, the leek has been officially recognised for millennia as a food of worth.
Early records of leeks' use in ancient Egypt, the Middle East and Europe have been found, but no country has embraced the vegetable quite as much as the Welsh. For them a national symbol, along with the daffodil, its significance is represented in celebrations on St David's Day — in his time in the Middle Ages the leek attained a mystical status.
Selection and storage: Preparation of the leek for cooking always involves washing, as soil can work into the upper layers. Removal of the dark green part and base roots and a soak in cold water usually is enough. Lately packaged leeks have appeared in supermarkets, the cleaning and trimming done. Not as satisfying as a market basket with the symmetrical shape of a leek or two popping out, but perhaps practical for apartment dwellers and those with restricted waste disposal. Nothing however, beats the crispness of a recently picked intact leek. The dark green top does not have to be entirely discarded. It is useful as a flavour boost in stocks, and very finely sliced is a useful addition to stews, or even boiled with potatoes. Store leeks in the refrigerator, trimmed just enough to fit. Pre-trimmed leeks need to be kept in their packaging or a plastic bag, to prevent them drying out.
Leeks go with: Potatoes, mushrooms, salmon, prawns, white fish, blue cheese, chevre, cheddar, butter, pepper, hazelnuts, walnuts, caraway, chorizo, prosciutto, chicken, meats.
To make pastry, finely grind hazelnuts in food processor. Add flour and process, then add butter and process until well combined. Add yolks and sour cream and process until dough clings together. If necessary add more sour cream. Turn onto work surface and roll into a log. Roll in plastic, flatten and refrigerate 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 190˚C (180˚C fan forced).Cut 24 x 3mm thick slices from the leeks to give neat rounds. Chop remaining leek and any trim from the slices coarsely, place in food processor and process to a fine paste. Add cheese and eggs and work until smooth.
Brush 2 x 12-hole (2 tablespoon capacity) muffin trays with hazelnut oil. Shape pastry into a long roll and cut into 24 pieces. Press each into the base of the muffin holes. Spoon in filling and top each with a slice of leek. Brush leek lightly with hazelnut oil. Bake 30 minutes until puffed and firm. Remove from oven, cool in tins. Using a small metal spatula carefully lift out tarts. Serve at room temperature or reheated.
In a large bowl combine the diced leek and sliced mushrooms. Slice the fish into 6mm wide strips and add to leek and mushroom mixture. To make broth, combine bonito in a large saucepan with 2 litres water. Stand 15 minutes then add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Strain into a clean pot. Discard solids. Warm oven to lowest temperature. Put serving plates in to heat through. Heat peanut oil in a deep pot. Fry julienned leek in batches, for 1 minute. Remove and place on a tray lined with kitchen paper. Keep warm in oven. Heat broth until simmering. Add leek, mushroom and fish and poach until fish is just opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon into warmed bowl. Serve garnished with fried leek.
Trim and wash leeks. Finely dice half of one leek and julienne the remainder. Place the dice in a bowl and julienne in a colander. Cut salmon into 6mm dice and combine with diced leek. Spread 15 gow gee wrappers on work surface and brush with beaten egg yolk. Place one tablespoonful of the leek and salmon in the centre of each wrapper, keeping the edges clean. Position another wrapper on top of filling, pressing well around the edges with the tines of a fork, to seal. At this stage the ravioli can be refrigerated or frozen until required. Place them in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper. Separate layers with baking paper and cover all with plastic wrap.
Place crushed pink peppercorns in a large deep frying pan. Heat until aromatic, then add butter, stirring until dissolved and beginning to sizzle.
Add lemon juice and turn off heat.
To cook ravioli, heat a large pot of water until simmering. Drop in julienned leek and cook 2 minutes. Remove with tongs and return to colander. Cook ravioli in small batches in the same water. Drop them into the pot and cook for 2 minutes after they rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to peppered butter mixture in pan. Turn to coat with butter. Repeat with remaining batches. Serve as an entree garnished with poached leek and wild salmon caviar.
Note: You can also use a 270g pack (40 pieces) square Shanghai wonton wrappers. Reduce the amount of filling in each one slightly, or make a little more.
Brush slices of bread with olive oil. Place on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes or until completely dry. Rub slices of dried bread with garlic, set aside. Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat.
Add the leek and garlic and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, bring to the boil. Cook until reduced by half, set aside. In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, add the milk, cream, a generous pinch of salt, pepper, the oregano and nutmeg. Mix to combine. Arrange six slices of bread in a lightly greased 25cm x 30cm baking tray. Spread half the leeks over the bread, followed by half the grated cheese.
Pour enough of the custard mixture to cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Arrange remaining bread slices overlapping on top. Cover with remaining leeks and cheese. Pour over custard. Allow to stand 10 minute longer before placing into preheated oven. Bake until golden brown and set, about 1¼ to 1½ hours.
Chives, finely sliced to garnish Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add the leeks, cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the garlic and cook a further 10 minutes or until the leeks are soft. Add the drained chickpeas and three cups of chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer for five minutes. Process half of the soup in a food processor until smooth. Return soup to pan with the remainder chunky soup, add more stock to achieve the consistency you like and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Stir through grated Parmesan and cook until heated through. Serve with Parmesan toast or crusty bread.
Freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the leek and capsicum in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, toss to combine. Roast for 40 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Cool (leave oven on 180°C). Lightly grease a 25cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan. Arrange roasted vegetables in the pan and sprinkle over grated cheese. To make frittata, combine eggs, cream, basil and pepper, whisk well.
Pour mixture over the vegetables and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Transfer to oven and cook for 40 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Serve with salad.
Coat chicken pieces with seasoned flour and shake away excess. In a heavy-based saucepan, heat two tablespoons of olive oil and brown chicken in batches. Remove chicken from saucepan. Heat a tablespoon more of olive oil in the pan, add leeks and garlic and cook, stirring over low heat for 10 minutes or until leeks are soft. Add the wine, mustard and stock.
Stir well to scrape up all the crunchy bits on the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot, bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Add the parsley, thyme and cream, season to taste and cook over low heat for a further five minutes. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 200°C. To assemble the pot pies, cut the puff pastry into rounds by tracing around the top of the ramekins onto the pastry.
Spoon the chicken mixture into lightly greased, one-cup-capacity ramekins. Top each filled ramekin with pastry. Press firmly around the rim to seal. Cut slits into the top of each pastry lid and brush with egg wash. Bake pies in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Starting April 2nd, we are getting back into the swing of things with our Kettlebell Swing Program on the VIP forum. If you missed the details on that, please click this link and sign up today!
Today, I wanted to review two key lifts that are a part of that program, and how these tow lifts can factor into better, if not more POWERFUL kettlebell swing.
The goblet clean is the set up lift of the goblet squat. To perform this lift, start with your kettlebell between your feet. From the ground up, you will pop your kettlebell upward to reach the center of your chest. Repeat this technique for multiple reps. This lift in particular will help reinforce proper grip on your kettlebell, as well as proper abdominal tension for both your squat, and to reinforce this tension at the top of your kettlebell swing.
The goblet squat is a kettlebell squat variation where your kettlebell is held at the center of your body. Start with the kettlebell between your feet on the floor. From there, you will keep your kettlebell centered as you lower yourself into the bottom of your squat. Ideally, you will want to get below parallel int his squat, but if you are unable to due to do this based on your current hip mobility, try to get as ow as you can at parallel. Be sure not to collapse your elbows inside your knees, or flare them outside of your knees.
Stacking the goblet clean and goblet squat together as a set routine will do two things, packing a one-two punch for your kettlebell swing. 1). You will have better grip and control on your kettlebell swing, which will reinforce a lot of strength not just in your hands, but also in your core. The tighter you grip the bell, the tighter you will notice your abdominal muscles contracting at the height of your goblet clean, as well as the kettlebell swing. 2). Doing the goblet squat will reinforce a lot of strength and power that will help feed into a lot of stability and sheer force as you execute your kettlebell swing as well. Take a look athlete youtube video below to see my recommended training for stacking the goblet clean and goblet squat together.
