Politics aside, if there's one thing America doesn't need to make "great again" it's its national parks, along with the system that was founded to oversee and preserve the country's greatest treasures. Not only are their very existence democratic, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed, they're also "the enrichment of the lives of all of us." To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, we marvel at seven of its best parks and hope we, you, and everyone don't go kicking the bucket before giving them a visit.
Of course, we have America's—and the world's—first ever national park on the list. Established in 1872, the park attracts millions of visitors every year with half of the world's hydrothermal features located there, including otherworldly chromatic pools, hot springs, and geysers, the famous most renown of which is the Old Faithful geyser.
You may recall the opening scene of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade which is set against a certain sandstone formation. That would be Utah's own Delicate Arch at Arches National Park. Visiting the park this spring would surely be a treat for Indy fans but not that we're not saying it needs Hollywood's help. It's a natural wonder in its own right: with 2000 plus natural arches and spires, and don't forget various family-friendly trails.
•🚶🏾⛰✨• Shadow Gate • Watching a thin veil of clouds diffuse the star light on a crisp summer night. Can't wait for milky way season to roll around again so I can spend my summer nights watching the night skies above. Stay Adventurous Dear Friends!!
You don't want to take this no-brainer for granted. There's a reason why Ron Swanson famously says, "Crying: acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon". It's that beautiful. We recommend seeing the breathtaking panoramic view from the Desert View Watchtower or by embarking on the Rim Trail and tick off all the essential viewpoints.
*While in the Grand Canyon area, you might want to stop by the Horseshoe Bend overseeing the deep blue Colorado River (only 5 miles from the beginning of the park). Having attracted more visitors each year, it's considered another must-see destination, one to cap off your Grand Canyon experience.
Yosemite truly is the bellwether of all national parks. From the highest waterfall (Yosemite Falls) to the tallest trees (the sequoias of Mariposa Grove), from the pristine peaks (Hetch Hetchy) to magnificent monoliths (El Capitan), the wonders that Yosemite offers never cease. You're guaranteed to witness more natural formations and technicolours here than anywhere else in the same amount of time spent.
Talk about a park that has it all—the alpine mountains, the wildflower meadows, the gemstone Pacific coastline, and the lush temperate rainforest. On top of it all Mount Olympus, the home of the gods (the British trader who named it obviously didn't think we mortals were worthy) and the snowcapped peak (7,980 ft) and one of the most stunning areas in Washington.
Regardless if you're camped on top of a mountain, hiking through rolling hills, or wading through waist tall grass in the open prairies, never forget to look up.
Spring is sprung and there's no place to be hitting the road for than this interstate national treasure. Prepare to be received by over 1,600 species of wildflowers, more than any other parks in America, in lush bloom as you drive along the 31-mile stretch of incredible landscapes or switch it up a bit by hopping on the Great Smoky Mountains train, goggling at the scenic woodlands from the comfort of a First Class compartment.
Who needs a ski trip to the Alps when you have America's own snowcapped "Crown of the Continent"? Expect plenty of good day hikes (Lake McDonald and Many Glacier trails) and wintery wonderful activities like cross-country skiing and canoeing (Polebridge and St Mary Lake). If you're visiting in warmer seasons, the Going-to-the-Sunny Road offering panoramic views of Glacier's park-wide highlights is not to be missed.

Tozers Solicitors Proudly Sponsor Group B Strep Support
Our firm is delighted to continue our long term backing of Group B Strep Support and to be part of the select legal panel for this leading charity and pressure group.
Group B Strep is currently the UK's most common cause of severe bacterial infection in newborn babies, as well as of meningitis in babies under 3 months. UK statistics reveal that on average one new born baby a day is affected by Group B Strep, yet despite these alarming figures the NHS are yet to roll out a national screening programme to quash this.
Countries such as Germany and Spain already routinely test for Group B Strep via a GBS-specific ECM (enriched culture medium) test. It is thought that this test could prevent around 80% of GBS cases due to it identifying mothers who are at risk and in turn preparing for the appropriate antibiotics to be accessible to them during their labour.
The charity Group B Strep Support is unique in its aim to strive towards eradicating group B Strep infections, including meningitis, in babies. This is a cause which our firm is very much behind:
Stuart Bramley, Partner and head of Tozers' GBSS Claims Team, notes – "Having had close links with GBS Support since 2007 and having dealt with over 20 Strep B claims and inquests in that time I am delighted we can play an active part in the corporate sponsorship initiative. GBSS are to be congratulated for their tireless efforts in alerting both the public and health professionals to this devastating infection. My colleagues and I have seen at first hand the consequences of not recognising the early signs of sepsis and the toll of babies left permanently injured, or who do not survive and we hope that better public awareness will help to reduce the number of babies affected by GBS. We wholeheartedly support the charity's continuing efforts to facilitate national screening and wish GBSS every success in this campaign."
Families will find a wide range of information and resources on the GBSS website. There is also a helpline number, a petition you can sign, personal accounts to read and answers to frequently asked questions. The charity's website also links to other professionals who deal with Group B Strep in order to provide their beneficiaries with a wider support network. The Chief Executive of the charity, Jane Plumb, MBE recently spoke about the charity's long-term relationship with our firm:
"We are delighted to partner with Tozers, who have dealt with many group B Strep cases over many years. Having been in touch with Stuart Bramley since 2007, we know he and his team are passionate about ensuring families get the best possible care and advice."
She added: "By partnering with Tozers, we can provide information and support to families and their health professionals. We rely on partnerships like these to continue our vital work, and this new partnership will enable us to reach many more of the 800,000 families who have babies each year."
If you have been affected by Group B Strep and would like some legal advice on this matter you can speak to our specialist medical negligence team on: 01392 207020 or by email: enquiries@tozers.co.uk

Judge Rebukes U.S. Attorney's Office for EDNY for Overstating Secrecy Obligations
Published On January 20, 2016 | By Brett Weinstein | General
A district court judge rebuked the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York for sending grand jury witness subpoenas with misleading language directing the recipient not to disclose the existence of the subpoena. Although the Court did not suppress evidence gleaned from such subpoenas, the judge warned the government to ensure it does not use such language in the future.
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e)(2), prohibits imposing secrecy obligations on those taking part in grand jury proceedings, except as provided in the Rule. Under the Rule, grand jury witnesses are not required to keep grand jury subpoenas secret. Nonetheless, subpoenas issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York demanded that grand jury witnesses not disclose the existence of their subpoenas. Included in many of its subpoenas to witnesses was language stating:
YOU ARE HEREBY DIRECTED NOT TO DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS SUBPOENA, AS IT MAY IMPEDE AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION.
Unrepresented grand jury witnesses had no indication that this request carried no judicial authority.
The defendants in the case sought to exclude all evidence obtained by the government through its use of grand-jury subpoenas with the improper non-disclosure language. The judge ordered the government to "file a report detailing: (1) how extensively this or similar language has been used in grand jury subpoenas by the United States Attorney's Office, (2) what training or procedures the Office has initiated to review grand jury subpoenas, and (3) what steps the Office has taken to ensure that similar language is not used in the future, absent specific judicial authorization."
In response, the government admitted that its use of the non-disclosure language was improper, but stated that usage of such language was not the practice and policy of the office, and the inclusion of such language was inadvertent and unintentional. Rather, the government claimed that they "instruct[] that non-disclosure may not be imposed on a grand jury witness absent statutory authority or judicial order. The government stated that absent such legal authority, the Office's policy has been to include a request, not a command, for non-disclosure." The government directed all Assistant United States Attorneys not to include requests for non-disclosure on the face of subpoenas; instead, such requests must be made in a separate cover letter to "avoid any appearance that such language carries with it judicial authority."
The judge made clear that "the government's improper directions to subpoena recipients are cause for serious concern." Nonetheless, the judge did not suppress the evidence, stating "Defendants have not identified, nor has the Court, any precedent for granting suppression under these facts, and the Court finds that suppression here is not supported by law and is not warranted." Sending letters to the subpoena recipients informing them that disclosure is not prohibited was a sufficient remedy. However, the judge stated, "now that the government is unambiguously on notice of this problem and the need to correct it, continued violations could well warrant severe remedies."
Additionally, the judge stated that in its "disappointing response" to the Court's initial order, the government failed to "explain, in specific terms, how it will ensure compliance with its policy moving forward, and it has yet to reassure the Court that it has adequately conveyed the seriousness of this issue to all of its AUSAs. The government proceeds at its peril." With the government so sternly warned, it is clear that subpoenas issued to grand jury witnesses must not include non-disclosure language, and, at least in the Eastern District of New York, ignoring this command may lead to evidence suppression or other extraordinary remedies.
Recipients of grand jury witness subpoenas should follow-up with the issuing attorney or the recipient's own attorney to determine whether non-disclosure language is a request or a binding requirement, and should be skeptical of such demands made in subpoenas not accompanied by a court order.

He tells the Fellows blog about Pakistan's polio crisis and how he approached the subject.
"Polio is an escalating health crisis in Pakistan because people are reluctant to vaccinate their kids. Their mistrust stems from the discovery that the CIA had been pretending to vaccinate while gathering swab samples to find out where bin Laden and other Taliban leaders were. Because of that, the Taliban is now killing health workers. After the success of These Birds Walk on the festival circuit, I was approached by the Gates Foundation and Image Nation, an Abu Dhabi film group, and commissioned to do a piece that would speak to Pakistani men working abroad, as well as within Pakistan, about polio.
Reckon I have to clarify a certain misconception created by Western Media … namely "stories" … viz. "Pakistani's having a Religious aversion to Blood tests and Vaccinations" … or… the 'theory' … That since, Pakistanis are Fundamentalist Muslims, meaning, believe in the basic Tenets of Islam, just like Christians and Jews do in their belief … Therefore, all Pakistanis, especially the bearded ones, by default, are Extremists and Terrorists !
According to Western Media … "It was CIA's bright idea, to "trace" Osama bin Laden via Genetics based, Forensic Testing … but much more importantly … prove, his presence, in the Tribal areas of Pakistan, that are bordering Afghanistan, where ISAF is fighting its "great battle" against Islamic Fundamentalists !
That Dr. Shakeel Afridi, a Tribal himself, worked his way through as an Anti-Polio Vaccination Team's head in Northern Pakistan [FATA], and freely collect Blood Samples from local Pathan families for Genetic Tests … allegedly, to confirm, if Polio Virus were present in their blood … and thus … he discovered Osama bin Laden's Gene in one of the local family's Gene Pool !
But fortunately, more Pakistanis, than what Western Media would like its "Consumers" to believe … know, that it's not standard procedure for determining presence of the Polio Virus, but the covert means, of finding criminals ! !
Thus, OBL was declared "found" hiding in the suburbs of a northern city of Pakistan, Abbotabad … living with his "4 wives" kids and "concubines" !
That this is an Arabian Nights like story … rather a Theory, matches, the other "story" of Osama bin Laden's silent burial, at sea … or the presently lesser propagated theory of … OBL being alive and well, in CIA custody … undergoing "Interrogations" !
That present "Clash of Civilizations" … initiated by Clinton and Bush at behest of the Zionists infested Congress … has nothing to do with Christian-Muslim religious "differences" and Crusades !


A late bounce helped the major indexes to gain enough upward momentum to eke out some small gains for the session with the exception of the Dow, which fell short and remained in the red. Despite this rebound, Apple (AAPL) continued its September downward trend having lost now -7.4%, as the company experienced its worst week ahead of an iPhone launch in over 7 years. Going the opposite direction were SmallCaps with the Russell 2000 ending at a record, which is its first record close since July 25th. While there is no guarantee, this move to new all-time highs can certainly be considered as a bullish indicator.
Despite the meandering of the major indexes, things ended on a much more solid footing in ETF space. Leading the pack to the upside were Semiconductors (SMH), SmallCaps (SCHA) and Transportations (IYT) with gains of +0.41%, +0.40% and +0.33% respectively. We saw the only red number in Emerging Markets (SCHE) with -0.58%.
In the interest rate arena, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond pulled back 1 basis point to 2.26%, which helped the 20-year bond price gain +0.29%. Gold managed to conquer its $1,300 level again but only barely. The US Dollar completed its best 2-week rally since December but lost a tiny -0.08% for the day. However, the downward trend remains intact.
Our Trend Tracking Indexes (TTIs) pulled back a tad due to the recalculation of the weekly Moving Average.

MARTIAL Law. At midnight on Sept. 21, 1972, Proclamation No. 1081 was issued by President Ferdinand Marcos, closing all media outlets—print, radio and television. Well-known critics of Marcos and the administration were also rounded up.
Later in the morning of Sept. 22, I was told by my boss, Roberto Benedicto, to go to Malacañang because Marcos was ready to announce the justification of Martial Law. With Channel 9's television crew, and with Babe Romualdez as the anchor, we prepared for the President's announcement. Then Press Secretary Kit Tatad would introduce it.
Marcos justified Martial Law under the 1935 Constitution when an invasion or rebellion threatened the security of the state. He said that the state was faced with two cases of rebellion, one from the communist force that was already at Balara, beside the University of the Philippines, and another one, the separatist/independence movement in Mindanao by Nur Misuari's Moro National Liberation Front.
The Supreme Court later on ruled that Proclamation 1081 was needed in the face of a real and imminent rebellion from two fronts, given that at that time, there were only 48,000 members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. I must say that Proclamation 1081 was well planned because there was no effective resistance except for the siege of the Iglesia ni Kristo compound in Quezon City.
After a day or two, I got word that I was named by Marcos as one of the three members of the Media Advisory Council that would implement PD 1081 in media. I was president of the Manila Overseas Press Club at that time. This meant that the MAC would be in charge of censoring media. The council was headed then by Tibo Mijares of the Daily Express owned by Benedicto, the only publication that continued to be published despite Martial Law. The other member, Ray Pedroche, was in charge of radio and television.
I resigned because the MAC had become a money-raising tool for some people.
Back as public affairs manager of KBS (Kanlaon Broadcasting System) operating Channel 2, Mabuhay Broadcasting GTV-4 (government television station), RPN-Channel 9 and IBC-Channel 13, I thought of an idea on how to get radio and television out of the ambit of Martial Law. Channel 7 was also operating then but under Bob Stewart, with limited programs and foreign films. ABS-CBN and the Manila Times Channel 5 were closed.
I called representatives of radio and television to a meeting at the office of the late Emil Tuazon and Andrei Khan, and with the permission of then-Minister of National Defense Juan Ponce Enrile, the administrator of Martial Law, we organized the KBP or the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas to be a self-policing body. I was its first president.
Sure, there were abuses, atrocities and human rights violations during Martial Law. As they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely. There were also instances of plunder by people in power, especially by the well-known cronies. But Martial Law also had its brighter side.
The communist insurgency backbone was broken; the separatist/independence movement was also broken with the self-exile to Egypt by Misuari; the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao came into being after the Tripoli Peace Agreement was signed; massive infrastructure was started with the North Luzon Expressway and South Luzon Expressway, the Marcos Highway to Baguio, the Philippine Japanese Highway to Mindanao, and the construction of LRT 1.
Lest I am accused of minimizing the abuses committed during Martial Law, I am not. I'm just citing facts. At least, during Martial Law, policemen and soldiers did not shoot and kill innocent civilians who were only asking for rice because they were starving. During the incumbency of Cory Aquino, it was Mendiola Massacre and the Hacienda Luisita Massacre. Now, under BS Aquino, it's the Kidapawan Massacre.
When Ninoy Aquino was assassinated at the international airport tarmac, the economy was on the verge of collapse. That compelled then-Trade Minister Roberto Ongpin to create what was known as the Binondo Central Bank where some eight well-known Chinese foreign exchange traders were forced to trade as Ongpin saw fit. Ongpin said they would be arrested and put in stockade if they didn't follow orders. He also dictated, day to day, the rate of the peso vis-a-vis the dollar. Ongpin brought the exchange rate from P28 to P11.
I am particularly proud of Ongpin's achievement since he was the one that saved the economy from collapse. He was my student at Ateneo High School.
Some Marcos-haters who were not yet born or were just babies at that time do not know that it was Imelda who sent the late Ninoy Aquino to Houston, Texas to have an urgent heart operation, and even continued to subsidize the Aquino family in Boston where the Aquino family was in exile.
People of this generation also do not realize that it was Imelda who brought forth the renaissance in Philippine arts and culture. It was she who oversaw the construction of five-star hotels in Makati and Manila, as well as the Philippine International Convention Center, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Philippine Trade and Film Center, and the World Trade Center.
The Marcos years also did some good for the country. And I believe that history will judge the Marcos years fairly despite some sectors, including BS Aquino, trying to spook people about having Senator Bongbong Marcos as vice president. They say that Martial Law would be resurrected. My gulay, I suggest BS Aquino look at the 1987 Constitution which his late mother had framed. He would see that Martial Law is now a near-impossible scenario.
Besides, wasn't BS Aquino's late grandfather, Benigno S. Aquino Sr., in charge of the dreaded "Makapili" during the Japanese Occupation rule for over three years? The "Makapili" were instrumental in the killing of alleged guerrilla fighters and their relatives. They were portrayed with bayongs over their heads, pointing to the Japanese whom to kill.
BS Aquino's late grandfather was charged with treason when liberation came. He was sent to prison but soon, all Japanese collaborators were given amnesty.
Filipinos did not take this episode of history against Ninoy, Cory Aquino and even PNoy. Now, BS Aquino is resurrecting Martial Law against Bongbong, who is running only as vice president. BS Aquino is truly a hypocrite.
Speaking of the late Senator Ninoy Aquino, I recall his exposé in the Senate that Marcos had some 400 Jabidah Muslims killed in Corregidor. That led foreign media to go all out against Marcos, saying that he was a fake hero of World War II. I am still wondering if that exposé had basis in fact.
I do not want to write about the so-called People Power Revolution of 1986 when Enrile-Ramos-Honasan and the Reform the Armed Forces Movement caused the exile of Marcos. This chapter has been written and even distorted in so many ways. For one thing, it was not truly a People Power Revolution because only the middle class of society, nuns, priests, and students were there. It was only in Metro Manila.
Thanks to Marcos, he went to exile instead of following the request of the late Chief of Staff Fabian Ver to bomb the breakaway group. Marcos did not want blood on his hands. But I honestly believe that even without the people who went to Edsa to support the breakaway group, the coup could have succeeded anyway, having the support of 85 percent of the Armed Forces of the Philippines—the Army, the Navy and the Air Force.
Unfortunately, Edsa 1 benefitted only the Aquinos, not the nation as a whole. The people are still confronting the problems that Edsa 1 sought to eradicate—poverty, graft and corruption, government incompetence, its lack of compassion and sensitivity to the people's needs. Worst of all, the hypocrisy!
The last episode of this series will dwell on the post-Edsa 1 presidents—Corazon Aquino, Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and now BS Aquino.


Committee members voted to recommend that the city attorney draft two versions of the proposed ban. The drafts would have to return to the council later for final approval. The recommendation now heads to the full council for another vote.
The decision to explore two versions of the proposal leaves some important details — such as exactly who the ban will ultimately cover — still to be decided at City Hall. The move comes less than two months after the Ethics Commission, whose members are appointed by L.A. elected officials, endorsed a proposed ban.
The idea had languished at City Hall before FBI agents raided the offices of Councilman Jose Huizar in November. Others at City Hall, including Councilman Curren Price and aides to Huizar and Council President Herb Wesson, are also being scrutinized by investigators, according to a federal warrant filed last year.
No one has been arrested or publicly charged in the probe, but the ongoing investigation has focused new attention on long-simmering concerns about a "pay-to-play" culture in city government.
In the last decade, more than $1 million in fines have been levied on developers — roughly half the total amount of Ethics Commission penalties in that period, according to a staff report.
The Ethics Commission had recommended banning political donations from a wide array of people tied to real estate projects up for city approval, including property owners, company executives, subcontractors expected to make $100,000 or more, and anyone on the "project team," which could include architects, engineers, attorneys and consultants.
Such donors would also be barred from fundraising or "bundling" political donations from other people, another way that they could try to win influence at City Hall.
The ban would kick in once an application is turned in to the city and last until a year after the project has gotten a specific approval.
Members of a council committee focused on elections backed that proposal Wednesday, sending it along to the full council. They also decided to forward another set of recommendations from Councilman David Ryu and other council members that would ban donations from a somewhat narrower group of potential donors.
Under that proposal, the donation ban would apply to property owners — including the principals of any legal entity that owns the property — that are pursuing city approval for development projects that would build or add more than 4,000 square feet of residential floor area or 15,000 square feet of commercial floor area.
Ryu said he wanted the city attorney to weigh in on which proposal would be more likely to stand up in court.
"Reform can and must be made," he told the committee.
Some observers have cautioned that banning campaign contributions from real estate developers may simply spur them to pour their money into independent expenditure committees, which can raise unlimited amounts to promote causes or candidates. In some L.A. council races, independent spending has rivaled that of the campaigns themselves.
No one spoke up at length Wednesday against the proposed ban on developer donations. In the past, some real estate developers have argued that the city should instead focus on reducing the power of council members over planning decisions, so that developers do not need to woo politicians to win approval for their projects.
The proposed rules from the Ethics Commission would also ban any donations from businesses and other groups, only allowing political contributions from individuals. The move, billed as a way to increase transparency, would require voter approval. It follows repeated cases in which donors have exceeded city contribution limits by giving money through business entities.
Both proposals forwarded by the council committee would also impose new restrictions on who can make "behested payments" — donations solicited by politicians for charitable or governmental causes.
In addition, the Ethics Commission proposal would lower the minimum threshold for reporting such donations from $5,000 to $1,000.
The committee also asked for the Ethics Commission to hold additional meetings to discuss the proposed restrictions with nonprofits and with campaign treasurers.


Toronto, October 17, 2012 – Olivut Resources Ltd. ("Olivut" or the "Company") (TSXV:OLV) provides an update on the successful 2012 drilling program for the HOAM Project, Northwest Territories.
The field portion of the 2012 drilling program was completed in September and resulted in a new kimberlite discovery. Eleven holes were drilled on eight previously untested targets. Drilling was focused on magnetic anomalies identified by ongoing analyses of detailed airborne magnetic surveys of prospective new target areas. The discovery hole intersected kimberlite at 32 metres and was stopped in kimberlite at 120 metres. Caustic fusion analysis to determine diamond content will be conducted on 245 kilograms of kimberlite core by Saskatchewan Research Council. The Company will report the results when they become available.
The Company's success in the HOAM project area has resulted in the discovery of 29 kimberlites to date. Although some of the kimberlites are microdiamond bearing, they do not contain the extremely positive diamond inclusion field indicator mineral populations (including G10 garnets) that occur in regional stream sediment and till samples. The sources for these indicator minerals remain to be found. Based on the indicator mineral chemistry, geophysics and drill results, management believes that there is a high probability that economic kimberlite pipes will be discovered in the project area. Additional studies are on-going.


We at SemiAccurate are looking for a writer or three that likes the tech we tend to cover and a few other areas. If you like the tech we cover and a few other areas, but also want to write, that is OK too. Unlike how some companies do things, we would rather have someone who understands the things they are going to be writing about in great detail than someone who says nothing worth reading across four pages with perfect grammar.
The areas we are interested in are obviously chips, computers, and everything involved with them, from manufacture to end users and more. One person doesn't have to know it all, if that mythical creature exists, he/she/it will probably have a much more lucrative job already. And ride their unicorn to it while belching up bits of breakfast more melodically than anything with a 'Top 40' ranking in the last two decades. If you know some of the industry in detail and have a general understanding of the rest, that is fine.
What we are also interested in is another specialty too, or at least an ability to put things in perspective with regards to that field. You don't need a unicorn, but an understanding of finance, silicon manufacturing, security, legal matters, channel/marketing, gaming, or phones. If you are an expert in four or more of those fields, and do not have the aforementioned unicorn, don't bother, we won't believe you if you write in.
The job requirements are that you can dig up interesting things that are not just rehashes of the same tidbit that 19 other sites claim as an exclusive, but was put out as a press release the evening before. Put that in to words, along with some context, analysis, and a bit of snark, then pass it along. Probably the most important bit is to be able to smile while your words are stepped on by various people, from the editor to the fanbois, paid corporate shills, and assorted lunatics, 97.3% of which didn't even read the article in the first place. The other 2.7% simply doesn't understand anything you are talking about, but are not afraid to prove it in print again and again and again. Remember, smile.
Where you are located doesn't matter, for the most part, the Internet flattens time and space where journalism is concerned. Living in a place that has a lot of technical events is a plus though, Silicon Valley, Taipei, or Shenzhen are on the short list. What matters more is the ability to deliver a regular number of stories per week on the topic at hand, or something close to it.
In return, you get not very much. Yeah, we don't pay well, journalists don't tend to have the big house on the hill with far too many servants. If you are expecting nothing in return, you won't be disappointed by much. We do pay, but don't expect anything close to a full time job. We do not deduct the abject adulation of people you would probably not want to get within 15 feet of in person from your pay, nor do we charge to keep the lights around your name lit. Other perks may or may not apply, but don't get your hopes up.

Twitter Goes Completely Insane Changing Words To Appease Radical Marxists
by Rich Welsh
To prove we are evermore living in a 1984 world, the social media giant Twitter, specifically the Twitter Engineering Department, has just announced they are advancing a change to the language they will use from now on just like the Soviets did right after the Bolshevik Revolution.
This is being done for showmanship because no one would ever see the codes they use behind the scenes when doing engineering work.
"Inclusive language plays a critical role in fostering an environment where everyone belongs. At Twitter, the language we have been using in our code does not reflect our values as a company or represent the people we serve. We want to change that. #WordsMatter"
Twitter has now joined the Valley of Madness by creating a starting list of words they will no longer use, and the substituted words following. In no time at all, users will more-than-likely be punished on the social media site for using the wrong words.
It will be kinda like, "IT'S MAM!!!!"
So far they have listed words like Whitelist, which will now be called Allowlist. Blacklist will be Denylist (I'm waiting for a wokety-woke-woke to come along and complain that the black list connotes something negative while the white list stands for something positive. I haven't heard that yet, but it's still early).
Master/Slave, which are terms used in hard drives and other engineering and electronics-speak, will be called Leader/Follower, Primary/Replica, or Primary/Standby.
Man Hours will be Person Hours or Engineer Hours.
Dummy Value will now be known as Placeholder Value, or Sample Value. Personally, I think it should be known as Twitter Engineering Value.
I'm sorry, but if any of these words that are part of the English language truly offend you, then you have much bigger psychological problems than getting triggered by words.
We're starting with a set of words we want to move away from using in favor of more inclusive language, such as: pic.twitter.com/6SMGd9celn
— Twitter Engineering (@TwitterEng) July 2, 2020
They followed up with a tweet, which is a mandatory disclaimer in the new woke world, saying:
"There is no switch we can flip to make these changes everywhere, at once. We will continue to iterate on this work and want to put in place processes and systems that will allow us to apply these changes at scale. We're focusing on these areas"
There is no switch we can flip to make these changes everywhere, at once. We will continue to iterate on this work and want to put in place processes and systems that will allow us to apply these changes at scale. We're focusing on these areas ?
1. Migrating source code and changing configuration by going through our existing code, IDing violating terms with new warning tools, and changing to the new inclusive terminology. Automated tools and linters are being developed in order to minimize manual effort for developers.
2. Updating documentation across internal resources, Google Docs, runbooks, FAQs, readmes, technical design docs, and more. We are also implementing a browser extension that will help our teams identify words in documents and web pages, and suggest alternative inclusive words.
This isn't just about eng terms or code. Words matter in our meetings, our conversations, and the documents we write. We know there's still a lot of work to do, but we're committed to doing our part. #UntilWeAllBelong
1984 was supposed to be a warning. It was not offered as a user's manual.

On Monday afternoon our Year 8 students took part in a pedestrian safety workshop run by Streetwise. The workshop was produced due to the high level of road traffic incidents involving young people around the ages of 11 – 13. Students were reminded of the potential consequences of not concentrating when crossing busy roads e.g. using phones, listening to music, messing around with friends etc. The programme consisted of a multi media performance and an interactive follow up workshop. The workshop was designed to raise awareness of the dangers of getting distracted when using public roads as a pedestrian. The risks students sometimes take around roads and their consequences was also discussed and highlighted. During the workshop the presenters helped students to create real life strategies to overcome peer pressure and peer influence around poor road safety and they encouraged the use of designated crossings and pedestrian controlled crossings as well as the need to ask for help when it is needed. The presentation lasted an hour and was a valuable workshop for all students involved.


The company was originally formed in 1966 by Malcolm Brown ( pictured above ) based in Bradford, England.
The company worked in two totally diverse industries,one part of the company was a supplier of machinery and consumables for the tyre and technical rubber industries whilst the other part of the company manufactured high quality animal grooming equipment ( dog combs ) for the pet trade.
The company grew steadily through thirty years of trading until it became the victim of theft and fraud in 1996 and whilst the individual concerned was caught and imprisoned the company ceased trading.
In september 2011 the company was reborn with Malcolm's son Steven bringing the company name back to the familly.

Churches and associates using sewing talents for others
BY RAY WESTBROOK
With needles and thread, Lubbock residents are touching the world with comfort, charity and a Christian message.
Volunteers from Calvary Baptist Church have completed 20,000 pillows in 10 years for medical facilities in Lubbock, troops in Afghanistan, and women in prison in Mexico.
Westminster Presbyterian Church has a group called Piece Makers who not only sew clothing for aid to the people of Belize, but they have volunteers who travel to that country as sewing teachers to equip women to make a living.
The Piece Makers also attract Catholic, Baptist and Nazarene volunteers, according to Paulette English of Westminster.
Vicki Tracy of Bernina Sewing Studio assists in the work in Belize by providing some sewing machines to Westminster, and by serving as a kind of clearing house for donations of fabric and thread.
"They have purchased some machines from us, and we have given them some," Tracy said. "But I am amazed - they have stayed with this program for 14 years."
English said, "We have sent about 60 dresses to Belize, and we are preparing to send some little quilts to Belize for the children who live in the mountain villages."
According to Janelle Griffith, who with her husband, Ralph, organized the pillow project at Calvary, the primary goal had been to comfort cancer patients.
"Then it graduated to people who had surgery, to use as a cough pillow. We have sent some to Afghanistan for the troops, and a couple of Decembers ago we made 500 for Meals on Wheels," she said.
The pillows are small - 6x4 inches plus a soft handle - and they are made of blue fabric, except for the troops, who got theirs in camouflage.
On the back of each is a card with a prayer and the plan of salvation. "It's the ABCs of salvation," Griffith said.
In one instance, the Griffiths had 10 of the pillows aboard their vehicle when they traveled to the Mexico area.
"We discovered that one of the local churches was going to minister to a women's prison, and we found out that some of the women in prison had to take their children with them. Because there were no facilities for the children, they were sleeping on the floor," Janelle said.
The 10 pillows they had with them providentially matched the 10 children in the prison.
Sarah Carter of Westminster said Belize is a very impoverished country. "A lot of the mothers are just single moms because their husbands are in prison."
Tracy said, "The women there have no social network or social infrastructure for support. So, what traditionally happens is not really unlike what happens here, except we have a pretty shell around it. The women live with a man and have several children, then he goes on to a younger woman, and she is left with children with no means of support. So, lots of times what happens there, is that the only thing she has to sell is herself."
She added, "The church there is trying to help these women support each other, because they are really isolated - they don't have the social skills to get together, and they don't have working skills to work or to sell a production. So, this is a multilevel support for them to not only grow spiritually, but also to learn a trade to support their families."
Pat Grissom, author of "Too Much Gold to Flush," is providing half of the proceeds of her book for the charity that is chosen at her web site, http://patgrissom.com. Also, some copies are available at the Bernina Sewing Studio.
According to Carter, products made by the Piece Makers serve a variety of purposes. They go to the Joe Arrington Cancer Center, Linus groups, the Dress a Girl Around the World program, lap quilts and pillows, and stuffed bears for those suffering from the death of a loved one.
Tracy said the work helps not only the receiver, but the giver as well. And Griffith sums it up this way:
"It makes us feel good."

Whitney Brim-DeForest is the newest addition to the UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor rice team. She will be based out of the Sutter-Yuba Office, but will serve Placer and Sacramento counties as well. She holds a Ph.D. in Horticulture and Agronomy and an M.S. in International Agricultural Development (both from UC Davis), and a double B.A. in Biology and Music from Brown University. Before starting her graduate work, she served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal, West Africa, for three years, where she worked with growers in a variety of crops, including rice, sorghum, corn, and cowpeas. Since 2012, she has worked at the Rice Experiment Station in Biggs, CA, managing the field trials for the UC Weed Science program in rice.
Why do you want to work in Cooperative Extension?
I really enjoy being out and about in the field, talking to growers and PCA's. I prefer doing research that can have an immediate impact, that results in new tools and information that growers' can use in their own fields. I find that I learn a lot from growers' and PCA's, as they are in the fields every day, and are often the best at identifying the potential implications of a research idea--the risks and benefits to growers.
I am a weed scientist by training, and so far, my research has been primarily focused on weed agroecology: the interaction of weeds with the rice field environment. Since I started at UC Davis, I worked first with Dr. Albert Fischer and then with Dr. Kassim Al-Khatib at the Rice Experiment Station (RES) in Biggs, where I managed the weed science field trials. During my time at the RES, through the herbicide-resistant weed testing program, I met many growers and PCA's and I am looking forward to meeting more of you!
Weed control plots at the annual Rice Field Day at the California Rice Experiment Station in Biggs, CA.
What are your research and outreach plans for the future?
This season, I plan to spend time getting to know Sutter, Yuba, Placer and Sacramento growers and PCA's, and to familiarize myself with the location of your farms, fields, and places of work. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible, so that I can begin understanding the issues that you identify as the most important.
Some of my future outreach ideas include a rice-specific workshop on weed management and identification and some videos on weed identification and seed collection. With the other farm advisors, I will be involved in research on the emerging weed issues, including red rice and the winged primrose willow. Currently, I am involved in research focusing on identifying and managing herbicide resistance, since that is a concern for many rice growers. Over the next 1 to 2 years, this will include surveying and screening for resistant populations in growers' fields.

The Mickey Cafagna Community Center will serve as a joint community center and senior center.
City Council asked that an Ad Hoc Committee be formed to review construction materials and other details with a goal of keeping costs down for this project.
The Ad Hoc Committee will consist of three to five members with background in construction or development.
In general, the Committee would be expected to review the building plans and make recommendations regarding building materials, finishes, and construction techniques. The Committee would present recommendations to City staff and the consultant preparing the plans.
In turn, the committee recommendations would be provided to the City Council.


Prince George will be logging some serious baby air miles this spring when William and Kate hope that he will be accompanying them on their first official tour of Australia and New Zealand.
A spokesperson said that it was currently 'anticipated' that Prince George would accompany his parents, but that a firm decision would be made in 'due course'.
The trip will last for most of April.
George will be just a few weeks younger than William was when as a baby he made his first trip to Australia. Aged 9 months, Prince William accompanied The Prince and Princess of Wales on their official tour of Australia and New Zealand in March/April 1983.
Although it will be Kate's first trip to Australia, William has been several times since. He last visited New Zealand in March 2011, shortly after the Christchurch earthquake. Previously, he visited in January 2010, when he represented The Queen at the opening of the Supreme Court building in Wellington, and also visited Auckland. The Duke visited privately in 2005 when he followed the British Lions' rugby tour.
He last visited Australia in March 2011 to visit flood-damaged areas of Queensland and Victoria. Previously, he visited Melbourne and Sydney in January 2010.


*AoV2-139 / GA525 / SP&P045 Gather us O God Body spirit soul and mind (Brown) Very simple song. Would work well as a gathering chant "Gather us O God, Body, spirit, soul and mind. Gather us, O God, One in union now with you. Also works at the end of the service "Send us out O God..."
MV007 Gather us in ground us in you (Hann) A simple chant which would be great for an invitation to worship.
TiS 647 / AoV2-012 / ATN 25 / STB184 Comfort comfort all my people (Mann) This is one of my all time favourite songs. Easy to sing, beautiful lyrics. Chorus is "Comfort, comfort all my people, with the comfort of my word. Speak ye tender to my people, all your sins are taken away". Lyrics and mp3.
Iona (There is one among us) Lord you can turn all mourning into dancing (Bell) An excellent simple refrain "Lord you can turn all mourning into dancing, evenings of grief to mornings of great joy".
Tune In You in all our worries / All will finish well (Brown) "In this world where injustice reigns, you are in the midst of pain". Excellent words of reassurance in a difficult world. Sound sample, lyrics and songbook available here.
*MV010 / GtG174 / URW099 / VF060 Come and seek the ways of wisdom (Ruth Duck) This song is more about the personification of Wisdom, but would work very well as a gathering song in the context of this reading. The tune in MV and GtG is a joyful 6/8 tune, but not familiar, so if it seems difficult, you could sing the same words to PICARDY (TiS 497). VF has a more challenging tune, which may be a bit tricky for a congregation. Lyrics.
*CH604 Holy wisdom lamp of learning (Duck) Great words seeking wisdom, judgement, and celebrating a searching faith. Sung to a good joyful and easy hymn tune (IN BABILONE). Could also be sung to BEACH SPRING. Sample music and lyrics.
*URW206 In her house there is a table / Wisdom's Table (Gay) Sung to BEACH SPRING, this song has great words of being welcomed by Wisdom at her table through times of trouble.
*HiOS156 Wisdom be our guide (Murray) Inspiring lyrics of peace and being grounded and inspired by Wisdom. The tune is quite simple, and the chorus will be easy to follow.
*TiS 418 / AoV2-075 / Iona (EoA, Common Ground) / CH593 / GA372 / A&M259 / Cha255 / SP94 / URW165 / Lau305 She sits like a bird brooding on the waters (Bell) Beautiful words and very easy to sing, provided it is not played too quickly The Iona recordings are generally very quick, but there are a lot of words to fit in, so keep it elegantly moderate in speed! Lyrics (scroll down).
*ATE 216 / Iona (SBL) / CH126 / VU241 / StJ / ELW555 / GtG637 / PH472 / G(II)365 / GC527 / RS 671 O sing to the Lord / Cantai ao Senhor / Cantad al Señor (Traditional Brazilian) A good, fun and simple song that is easy to learn in Portuguese or Spanish too. Some versions also have multiple verses (e.g. CH). Sound sample (click on the play button).
*TiS 706 / Taize / AoV2-142 / A&M600 / SFFS 2013 / GtG544 / PH224 / GC(II)576 / G(3)620 / CP360 / PfAS103C / SP194 / Src79 / URW377 / Lau813 Bless the Lord my soul (Batastini / Taize) A beautiful and very well known Taize chant. Sound samples, sheet music.Good for kids.
*CH753 / SFFS 2078 / GtG589 / GC(II)271 / G(3)338 / PfAS147A Alleluia alleluia (Honduras) Simple and fun Alleluia that works well as a refrain for a reading of this Psalm. You could also use a different Alleluia.
*AoVK-24 / Iona (T1AU) / CH756 Bless the Lord / My sisters (Kenyan) Simple and fun Kenyan call and response. "Bless the Lord there is no other God" Kids would really enjoy this, and with some African drumming, it would really be excellent. Good for kids.
Iona (SBL) / CH140 / MV181 / WoV727 / ELW554 / G(II)341 / GC495 / STB178 Lord Your Hands Have Formed This World / The Earth is the Lord's (Oliano) Good words of creation to a lovely, and not too difficult, Philippino melody. This would be a nice song for a children's choir or for the offering. Lyrics and sample sheet music.
CH753 / SFFS 2078 / GtG589 / GC(II)271 / G(3)338 / PfAS147A Alleluia alleluia (Honduras) Simple and fun Alleluia that works well as a refrain for a reading of this Psalm. Good for kids.
Wisdom, rescuer of the Israelites.
*MV010 / GtG174 / URW099 Come and seek the ways of wisdom (Duck) This song is about the personification of Wisdom, and would work very well as a gathering song in the context of this reading. Tune is joyful, but not familiar, so if it seems difficult, you could sing the same words to PICARDY (TiS 497). Lyrics.
*MV187 / ELW682 We give our thanks / Reamo leboga (Traditional Botswana) A great song to sing for the offering. Sound sample (scroll to the 3rd album). We usually sing it much more quickly than this sample. Good for kids.
AoV2-037 Children Of God in one family (Walker) Great for kids. Sometimes we mess up, but God forgives. Good for kids.
AoVK-119 We're God's family God's children (Watts/O'Brien) Good words. Catchy tune. Good for kids.
*TiS 465 / AHB 399 / ATA 115 / NCH279 / A&M271 / Iona (SBL) / CH116 / GA381 / Lau313 Our God in heaven / Father in heaven / Loving Creator grant to your children (Maquiso / Niles) I really like this hymn, especially the Philippino folk melody to which it's set. Newer versions of the hymn from the Christian Conference of Asia have altered the lyrics to "Our God in heaven / Creator God" in the first verse. Other versions, such as CH4 have "Loving Creator / Parent and God".
*MV157 I am a child of God (Harding) A simple song with powerful words. Good for kids and adults alike. Very easy to learn. Good for kids (just the first verse probably).
*TiS 163 / AHB 112 / NCH556 / UMH150 / LBW463 / ELW771 / GtG024 / PH268 / W&R644 / Cha651 / URW084 / 82Hml-580 God who stretched the spangled heavens Good words of creation of nature and cities and creative possibilities for the future. AHB has a Father and old language, but it works okay; TiS and other sources are better. There are many possible tunes. I like it best to HOLY MANNA as in the link. Lyrics and sound sample.
NCH072 / UMH552 / VU362 / ELW530 / GtG311 / PH465 / CP534 / W&R597 / Cha278 Here O Lord Your Servants Gather / Sekai no Tomo (Yamaguchi) Beautiful song about being a community of faith seeking strength and courage. Lovely simple Japanese tune. The story of this hymn. Lyrics.
TiS 428 / AHB 340 Help us O Lord to learn Great challenging (but quite formal) words about being committed to learning the faith. Good for a New Year message. Boring tune though. I would sing it to ST THOMAS (TiS 271 / AHB 198) Lyrics (with thees and thys, which are not in TiS).
*Tune In: Community (Brown) A great and very easy-to-sing contemporary song about being welcomed and part of a community. Sound sample, lyrics, songbook.
Again, Christmas Carols and Epiphany songs would fit well for this.
NCH164 / VU79 / StS030 / WoV652 / LBW652 / ELW314 / PH411 / GtG744 / W&R231 / URW138 Arise your light is come! (Duck) Good general words of Christ coming to bring justice to the familiar tune ST. THOMAS (TiS 271).
STB047 Sarennam (Dyvasirvadam) This song from India will need to be taught, but I think it's worth it. Quite nice; the English translation is very poetic.
VU886 / SFFS 2005 Arise Shine for your light has come (Smith) A simple call and response. Good for an intro to worship. This would be great for the whole Christmas season.
*Music by Heart 61 Arise shine for your light has come (Cunningham) A simple two-part chant, which can easily be taught before, or during, the service. We used this last year.
GtG467 / STB058 Give Us Light / Jyothi dho Prabhu (Vas) This song in Hindi or English is simple and repetitive and could be sung in either language (with a little teaching time). You could sing all 5 verses or just a few. It might also work during Advent as a candle lighting song.
*TiS 156 / AHB 91 / AoV1-135 / ATA 123 / CH212 / UMH145 / VU409 / ELW556 / GA537 / A&M545 / HPP267 / GtG664 / PH469 / G(II)546 / GC756 / GC(II)748 / G(3)855 / CP003 / W&R35 / Cha053 / URW186 / 82Hml-008 / Lau671 Morning has broken (Farjeon) This song makes me smile every time. Here's Yusuf Islam (when he was Cat Stevens) in 1976 (love those green boots).
*TiS 447 / AHB 61 / CH112 / VU313 / LBW400 / ELW673 / A&M810 / CP560 / CP(E) 267 / 82Hml-371 / Lau887 God whose almighty word / Lord your almighty word chaos and darkness heard / Thou, whose almighty word A good hymny hymn, very familiar, with the memorable "Let there be light" line at the end of each verse. TiS lyrics are fairly inclusive, but VU is better. Older style lyrics and sound sample.
TiS 477 / Iona (LFB, Common Ground) / CH510 / StJ / GA529 / A&M450 / CP059 / SP218 / URW056 Jesus calls us here to meet him. Good words and a rollicking or gentle Celtic tune (depending on how you play it!). Lyrics (downloads PowerPoint slides) 4th verse (not in TiS, but in Iona sources) leads to communion.
GA461 / G(II)445 / GC629 / GC(II)608 / G(3)699 God Is Love and all who live in love live in God (Haas) This is a nice cantor and refrain piece. The refrain is very simple and the cantor part is inclusive. The words are really good. Slowish sound sample.
WoV768 / ELW737 / CP456 / W&R412 He comes to us as one unknown (Dudley-Smith) Great words to a very familiar hymn tune (REPTON).
W&R104 / URW102 Hidden Christ Alive for Ever (Wren) Wonderful and inspiring words of Christ in all things. Can be sung to HYFRYDOL or HOLY MANNA, so would be easily sung by most congregations. A good song for just after the sermon. Lyrics and sheet music.
StS028 / WoV638 / A&M067 / G(II)275 / GC369 / GC(II)354 / G(3)443 / W&R199 / Lau148 Holy Child within the Manger (Haugen) Lovely words and a simple gentle tune. Lyrics.
Iona / CH317 / CP621 Before the world began (Bell/Maule) Excellent words from John Bell.
*AoV2-060 / SFFS 2172 / HPP307 / GtG749 / G(II)518 / GC718 / GC(II)710 / G(3)807 Come live in the light / We Are Called (Haas) Joyful song of mission. I love this! Lyrics, sheet music sample and slowish sound sample here. I would double the speed of this (almost).
AA016 Christ is our peace (Murray) Wow. This one is excellent. Would also be good for the offering. Very simple Irish traditional tune.
*CH348 / StS001 / LBW196 / ELW843 / CP397 / W&R93 / SP304 / URW090 Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness (Edwards) Good words of Christ's ministry to all. Can be sung to the familiar tune NETTLETON, or the less familiar and very lovely tune JOEL. Lyrics.

Home Locales / Regional Buffalo Medical Campus Today?
The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus has been the site of more than $1.5 billion in investment over the past 11 years, generating considerable political support and hope that it will change Buffalo's economic fortunes.
But an analyst by Business First has indicated, the major moves have amounted to a regional reshuffling of educational and health-care facilities, paid mostly by taxpayers.
The idea that hundreds of new jobs would be created has not panned out in fact; there has been a net loss of jobs to the region which has resulted from consolidation of jobs.
Future building projects on the campus are coming up short on funding and facilities like the former Millard Fillmore Hospital on Delaware avenue are becoming eye sores to residents.
Local business in the area around the old Millard Fillmore hospital have seen their business drop which has resulted in the loss of jobs.
As residents and businesses around the Elmwood Village wait for the closure of Children's Hospital on Bryant street anticipation is that some business will close and home prices will drop with such a large facility vacant in the neighborhood.
Isolating just one goal for the medical campus is impossible, given the varying motivations of the entities involved. Kaleida Health, Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University at Buffalo are focused on institutional quality, from health care to education.
But there is no denying the macro expectation: the creation of life sciences and technology companies, complete with thousands of private-sector jobs and the wide range of benefits those would bring.
The growth of the medical campus has thrust Buffalo into a national race to become the next Pittsburgh, a city that performed relatively well during the recession on the backs of educational and health-care institutions. Intense competition exists for federal research dollars and venture capital and for students across the national and international spectrum.

Estrogen-linked signaling helps drive a discrete and aggressive form of prostate cancer caused by a chromosomal translocation, which, in turn, results in the fusion of two genes, researchers report.
"Fifty percent of prostate cancers harbor a common recurrent gene fusion, and we believe that this confers a more aggressive nature to these tumors," said Mark A. Rubin, MD, Weill-Cornell Medical College, New York. "Interfering with this gene fusion-or its downstream molecular pathways-will be crucial in the search for drugs that fight the disease. Based on our new data, we now believe that inhibiting estrogen may be one way of doing so."
The team analyzed 455 prostate cancer samples from trials in Sweden and the United States that were conducted as far back as the mid-1970s. To retrieve the genetic information, they developed an innovative technology for effectively "reading" the gene transcription profiles hidden in the samples. The team was able to obtain a robust, 87-gene expression "signature" that distinguishes fusion-positive TMPRSS2-ERG cancers from other prostate malignancies.
The findings, published online in the May 27 edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, revealed that estrogen-dependent molecular pathways appear to play a crucial role in regulating and encouraging this aggressive subset of prostate cancer.
"We now believe that agents that dampen estrogen activity could inhibit fusion-positive prostate cancers," Dr. Rubin said. "Alternatively, any intervention that boosts estrogen activity might also give a boost to these aggressive malignancies."

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - FOX 26 got an exclusive tour of the charter school that was abruptly shut down this week by the state after the fire marshal deemed the building unsafe for students.
The kids at Rhodes School for Performing Arts Northshore campus have had a tough year since Hurricane Harvey hit. Their school on Tidwell was wiped out. Two portable buildings were relocated to Wallisville Road, but the chaos for the kids seems to continue.
"We ended the school year with more than 200 children with a homeless code on our roster," explains Rhodes School Founder Michelle Bonton.
Life for the 450 kids who are supposed to fill the classrooms at Rhodes School Northshore still isn't back to normal. One week into the new school year and this location was shut down by the Texas Education Agency.
"It is heartbreaking. It is emotional. It is frustrating," says Bonton who was an educator for more than 20 years in the Houston area before opening the Rhodes School 11 years ago.
Fire extinguishers are also now stocked throughout.
"This here was also a concern for the fire marshal," Bonton points out as she takes us to a back hallway.
Bonton and her staff were still moving in when the fire marshal's office came out. So things like boxes of supplies that were stacked along the walls were also cited as violations.
"There were things that were stored here and they (the fire marshal's office) like a three foot pathway," Bonton says.
The Rhodes school moved after their campus was destroyed in Harvey. "Not only was school out eight days, we had loss of life among staff members."
Bonton says she's never had problems with her buildings being in code but admits she was still trying to get them in order after being hit so hard by Harvey.
"The big concern was the sprinkler system for this particular building." She initially thought the building could be grandfathered in without sprinklers. As for a fire alarm system, one building already has it and another was just days from the system being installed as we could see from empty outlets already wired and in place. Also, one wall in the middle of the largest portable building will become a fire wall and run the length and height of the building.
"They will put in fire retardant material and right here is where we would create the other hallway because there would be fire retardant doors," which would keep flames from spreading throughout the building.
Parents, meanwhile, are once again trying to comfort their kids in the midst of chaos.
"He was just a little confused this morning but he got on the bus ok," says Debrick Bookman.
"You have to let them know this is the way it is now but it's going to be ok. You've got to keep them reassured," adds Dawna Howard.
In a hearing yesterday, Bonton made sure state officials know the school has already submitted plans to the county to bring their buildings up to code. Once Rhodes receives approval, which we're told could take months, the work is expected to be complete in less than 30 days, but the work can't begin until the county gives the school the go ahead to make the necessary changes to correct the violations.
Students are being bussed to two other Rhodes School locations until their school reopens.

Home Entertainment Is 2PM Going to Disband? Check Out Their Latest Comeback, Here!
Is 2PM Going to Disband? Check Out Their Latest Comeback, Here!
What Happened To 2PM?
K-Pop newcomer fans may not be familiar with the second-generation boy band, 2PM. Here is a brief profile of the group. 2PM was originally part of a group of eleven called One Day. The group was then divided into 2PM who focused more on the hip-hop genre and 2AM who focused more on ballad music. They debuted on September 4th, 2008, with seven members: Jaebum (now known as Jay Park), Taecyeon, Nichkhun, Jun. K, Junho, Chansung, and Wooyoung, under JYP Entertainment. They released their debut single "10 Out of 10" and started to promote their other songs afterward. Unlike other idol groups who portrayed a "pretty boy" concept for their debut, 2PM had a more masculine and macho concept with all the acrobatic performance.
After controversies surrounded Jaebum which led him to leave the group, 2PM continued with six members. Their most remarkable single probably is "Hands Up" which was released in 2011 and managed to be the first K-Pop act to enter Billboard's Social 50 Chart the same year. We could hear the song being played in many public spaces back then or even up until now. They also made their Japanese debut in the same year. They continued releasing some singles and albums until 2016. While Taecyeon was serving the military, the rest of the members were all doing their activities. It was reported that their exclusive contract ended in 2018 and five out of the six members have renewed the contract with the agency.
So what happened to 2PM? Where are they now? What have they been doing all this time? Are they going to disband? To answer all these questions, Channel-Korea will provide you with more details about 2PM's latest comeback, disbandment rumor, and their individual activities. So stay tuned!
2PM's Latest Comeback
As mentioned before, 2PM kept releasing their music up until 2016. On September 3rd, 2016, Junho posted 2PM's schedule for the following week on his Instagram account (@le2jh), hinting an upcoming comeback of the group. It was a great surprise for the fans because it's been over a year since their last comeback. It seemed that the next album would be titled Gentlemen's Game.
A post shared by 이준호 (@le2jh) on Sep 3, 2016 at 8:29am PDT
The next day, 2PM members celebrated their 8th anniversary. Junho, Nichkhun, and Jun.K left heartfelt messages on Twitter to their fans, Hottest, while Taecyeon uploaded a series of old photos of the group throughout time.
투피엠 8주년 감사합니다
핫티스트 짱 pic.twitter.com/dZNjrviigU
— taec yeon ok (@taeccool) September 3, 2016
A day after the anniversary, just like their schedule, they started releasing teaser images from September 5th to September 8th at 00:00 a.m. KST. As expected, they brought a masculine concept, but this time with mature looks in suits.
They released Wooyoung and Junho for the first teaser images on September 5th. We can see the writing "Promise" that could be the title track of the album.
soompi.com
The next day, they released Chansung and Nichkhun teaser images.
Taecyeon and Jun.K were the last members to release their individual teaser images on September 7th.
On September 8th, they finally released the last teaser images. Everything was paired in two and posed in a kind of similar way but different from the other pairs.
The next day, they released the title track "Promise (I'll be)" music video teaser on their official YouTube channel.
They again look very mature in the teaser video. Junho looks desperate while walking and Chansung is playing chess by himself. Meanwhile, Taecyeon, Jun.K, and Wooyoung are separately getting intimate with their girls. Yet it left us a question why Nichkhun looks mad on the roof before throwing the flower bouquet away.
The next day, they released the tracklist of the album. The members were reported to have personally written the lyrics for some songs and even helped to work on the music too. Here is the tracklist of the album. Seven out of eleven songs were written by the members.
No. Title Lyrics Music Length
1. "Promise (I'll be)" Taecyeon a.k.a. TY, Lesley Chiang, Raphael Taecyeon a.k.a. TY, Lesley Chiang, Raphael 3:28

11. "Can't Stop Feeling" Chansung, Taecyeon a.k.a. TY Chansung, LEL 3:17
Next, they released the album songs medley on September 11th.
An hour before the official release date, 2PM made a live premiere on V-Live at 11:00 p.m. KST. Finally, on September 13th, the album was released online and offline along with the music video.
The album peaked at first place on the Gaon Chart and also peaked at number 11 on Billboard's Top World Albums Chart. The album sold over 69,000 copies in Korea alone.
They made a comeback stage on Mnet's M! Countdown with their title track "Promise (I'll be)" on September 22nd to promote their album for around a month.
2PM's Inactivity and Disbandment Rumor
When they dropped the sixth album, Taecyeon revealed via SNS that the album might be the last album before they all go to military service. After finishing their goodbye stage for their sixth album in music shows and held fan-meetings, 2PM didn't seem to have any activities as a group. Due to their inactivity, people started to assume that the group had actually been disbanded. There was no certainty about the group and the disbandment rumor kept going until Junho finally spoke up about their situation. He was a guest in KBS' Happy Together back in May 2017. In that show, as Soompi reported, he denied the rumors about 2PM being inactive and not involved in any events. "Even though we don't appear on TV that often in Korea, we still go on international tours," he said. He revealed that even when he went to the doctor right after they returned to Korea after finishing their tour, the doctor asked about their activities.
He then opened up about the negative comments that the group had received from netizens. He also shared about the malicious comments toward him after he was seen to be living in a luxurious house when he didn't seem like he was active. He referred to another reality program, MBC's I Live Alone, a couple of weeks before where his living and daily activities were recorded and broadcasted for the program's purposes. His house was seen and it indeed seemed like a big house with lots of furniture. Regarding the malicious comments about his house, he clarified about the members' activities. "We're still working really hard, and we've never rested for longer than a week. I want to clear up any misunderstandings," he said.
If we looked back at the time after their latest album, the members started their individual activities.
Jun.K released his very first solo album Mr. NO♡ on August 9th, 2016, and held his first solo concert between January 14th and 15th, 2017, at YES24 Live Hall, South Korea.
A day after Jun.K's solo concert, the group announced about their concert 6Nights which was held between February 24th and 26th and then between March 3rd-5th at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium. It was their first concert after a year and nine months since their last one.
Two months later, Junho dropped a Japanese music video of his solo song "Mashup" before holding his solo tour titled 2017 S/S. He also released another Japanese track "Ice Cream."
In September, Wooyoung also dropped a Japanese music video for his solo track "まだ僕は・・・" and held his solo concert not long after that.
This time, it's Chansung who dropped a Japanese music video for his solo track "Treasure" in May 2018 and also held his solo concert around that time.
Followed by Nichkhun's solo Japanese track "Lucky Charm" by the end of the year on November 8th, 2018, for his solo mini-album Me.
To summarize, they all focused on their own solo activities so it was not unusual if people started questioning about their group. If we look at the bright side, now we are able to see their individual talent so they don't have to depend on their group that much, especially when one by one, all of the members start enlisting (except Nichkhun because he is non-Korean).

A married Premier League footballer who already has three children by his wife and mistress has just taken a second bride in his native Cote'Ivoire.
Cheick Tiote, 28, who earns £45,000 a week playing for Newcastle United, reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony earlier this month, saying taking another wife was 'nothing unusual' given he is a Muslim.
But news of the second wedding came as a surprise to his first wife, Madah, 25, who is said to have only found out about it on Facebook. Madah, who lives with Tiote and their two children in a £1.5million house in a village outside Newcastle, reportedly fainted with shock when she saw the photographs of her husband marrying another woman.
Meanwhile the midfielder also has a one-year-old child with mistress, 33-year-old Zimbabwean Nkosiphile Mpofu, known as Nikki.
His agent today confirmed reports he had got married for a second time.
Jean Musampa said: 'I can say that he did get married and that it is his second marriage.
The footballer, who can have four wives under Islamic law, is also said to have insisted to friends that having several partners is commonplace in his native Ivory Coast.
A source told The Sun: 'He doesn't see a problem with having two wives.
But his first wife, Madah, is said to have felt rather differently.
According to Ivorian news website iMatin, Madah wasn't aware of her husband taking a second wife, and found out about it through social media.
They reported that she fainted when she saw the photos of her husband marrying another woman - whose name she did not know - on Facebook.
The first Mrs Tiote is now said to have forgiven her husband, but his 33-year-old Zimbabwean mistress, Ms Mpofu, is believed to have recently ended her three-year affair with the footballer after he allegedly promised to make her his wife.
While she was said to have been 'comfortable' with his being married, she apparently decided to call the relationship off because he 'used me like a mop'.
Ms Mpofu was pictured earlier this week leaving a Waitrose store in the village where Tiote lives with his family, with her son by the footballer, Rafael.
Newcastle United was not available for comment.
Tiote received interest from Lokomotiv Moscow during the summer and was thought to be keen on a move to Russia.
He remained on Tyneside after Lokomotiv failed to make an acceptable offer, but his contract is set to expire in 2016.
Polygamy was abolished in the Ivory Coast in 1964.
The West African country is one of few African countries to have outlawed the practice, which in theory is punishable by a fine or a jail term of up to three years.
The practice of men having more than one wife has been blamed as a factor in spiralling rates of HIV in African women.
But men cling tenaciously to what they see as their 'right', whatever the law says.
Local customs as well as Islam permit a man to have more than one wife, and it is still common practice among Cote d'Ivoire's population of 22million.
Polygamy tends to be more prevalent among the animist (a form of spiritualism) and the Muslim communities.
Under Sharia law, polygamy is completely legitimate as Muslim men are permitted to take up to four wives.
In Senegal it was reported that nearly 47 per cent of marriages feature multiple women.
South African President Jacob Zuma has four wives and is a vocal supporter of polygamy.
It is legal in South Africa, Egypt, Eritrea, Morocco and Malaysia. In Iran and Libya it is legal with the written consent of the first wife. In other places it is illegal but the law is rarely, if ever, enforced.
Some anthropologists believe that polygamy has been the norm throughout human history. In 2003, New Scientist magazine reported that, until 10,000 years ago, most children were fathered by a comparatively small number of men.
Polygamous marriages may not be performed in the United Kingdom, and if a polygamous marriage is performed, the already-married person may be guilty of the crime of bigamy.
Polygamous marriages legally performed in another country where the law allows it are not recognised for pension, immigration or citizenship purposes in the UK.
It has been estimated that there are as many as 20,000 polygamous Muslim marriages in the UK.
In October 2013 Tiote was lucky to avoid prison after admitting to possessing a fake driving licence, for which he was given a seven-month suspended sentence and 180 hours of unpaid community work.
The Ivorian had to be called back to court after prosecutors forgot he should have been banned from driving after accumulating 12 points.
