A letter to The CBG
April 26, 1985 Kevin E.
THE COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE
Gary Dunaier
Flushing, N.Y.
You've said it a thousand times during the glory days of Thor #337 and Spider-Man #252 . . . the editors and editorial staff of the Comics Buyer's Guide have absolutely no influence whatsoever on the prices asked by dealers for current or recent comics. I can complain about the price of Elementals #1 for as long as I want, but writing to you won't get me anything. Nevertheless, there is one book that seems to be very hot at the moment that I feel skeptical about.The book is the first printing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. In the most recent issue of CBG (#594, 4/5/85), one advertiser Said it is now selling tor $75. Seventy-five dollars for a magazine published last year? I find it strange that it should sell for this much money, and there are a number of reasons why I feel this way CBG is the only publication that I have seen this comic mentioned in. In no other magazine have I seen anything about this book, either as a "Coming Comics" item or as a report of its staggering popularity. I would think that a 5000% increase over cover price for any magazine published in 1984 would be newsworthy. (Realizing that Comics Collector has made mention of the Turtles' price and popularity in its price guide section, allow me to explain that to simplify things I'm not considering CC as a Separate publication since it is published and edited by the Same organization and people as CBG, access to news items is exactly the same for both. Comics Collectors may choose not to publish a news section, but that does not take away from the fact that it has as much of an availability to the news as CBG has.) I have a copy of the second printing of #1, and I subscribe to CBG; during this paragraph let us assume neither is true. If I saw the book in a comic shop with an asking price of $75, I would think the dealer is trying to rip me off. What would you think of a dealer who is asking an exorbitantly high price for a book you've never heard of? Well, I'm not going to pay 75 simoleons for a comic I've never heard of, so I'll pass it by. I think I'll be able to survive reasonably well even though I don't own a (copy.)
I work in the Greenwich Village Section of New York City, and there are four comic shops within easy walking distance of my place of employment. However, only one of these Stores has copies of #1, and t hey were from the second printing. Limited distribution can be considered a justifiable reason for selling a back issue comic at a higher price, but for the limited distribution to have a noticeable effect the demand should be there as well.
(You may own a comic book of which your copy is the only one that exists, but if nobody else wants it the resale value could be less than that of a back issue of Dazzler.)
For a new publication for a new company, containing work by two unknowns, to skyrocket in value so fast and to as high a level as it apparently has, is not easy for me to believe. Even the nearly famous Cerebus the Aardvark #1, a comic so hot it was counterfeited, had to wait about five years before the price went up to its current level.
I find it interesting that the second printing of #1 is going for $10-$15, and that a third printing is planned. It is my opinion that the existence of a third printing would kill any demand for second printing copies. As of today (March 27, 1985), I have yet to see any copies from the third printing for sale in any store; because of its advertised shipping date of March 20, I will write under the assumption that they are readily available.
Being a collector, I can understand spending $75 for the first printing; after all, a first printing is a first printing. So, let's Say Gary Collector walks into the shop and buys a Copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, first printing, price $75. Now he has his copy, but do you think he's going to read it? With its Ronin-esque cover (much of the front and back covers are solid black, meaning whenever you handle the book your fingerprints will show), it gets bagged immediately and filed away with the multiple copies of Shatter Special #1.
He wants a reading copy, but he's reluctant to spend another $75. When he goes to the shop he sees two editions available: the second printing, priced at a mere $15, and the third printing, cover price an even merer $1.50. Which copy do you think he`s going to buy? With the only difference being "Second printing June 1984" versus "Third Printing (I assume March 1985)" on the inside front cover, I'd think only a fool (or Someone who thinks TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird are God) would pay additional money for the second printing.
Now that I've said my piece on this topic, I ought to mention that I'm not trying to put down the book, at least not as a work of creative art. I have no reason to do so, but a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles priced at $75 would come under much greater scrutiny than a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 priced at $1.50. My intent in writing this letter was not to cast any aspersions toward the book or its creators; in fact, I'd like to know how Eastman and Laird feel about their book selling for so much money in such a short amount of time. Rather, my intent was to express my puzzlement that the reported prices and demand for the book seem strange in comparison to the fact that apart from COG and CC I've never heard of the thing.
We're glad you wrote, Gary. If you're skeptical, there probably are others who are and we'd like to air this one right away.
You may not have seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mentioned anywhere other than in CBG and CC, but it certainly was mentioned elsewhere – in the pages of many major metropolitan newspapers.
As reported in CBG at the time and later, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird did an outstanding job of promoting Turtles. They sent copies to area newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations. They also sent copies to the local offices of the major wire services. At least one of the wire services – either UPI or AP, or both – wrote a story about it and the story was carried in newspapers all over the United States, maybe all over the world.
Several news paper clippings were sent to CBG from widely separate areas of the United States. We saw the clipping in our subscription copy of the Milwaukee Journal as well.
However, Kevin and Peter had only enough money to print about 3000 copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. But the publicity generated by the wire service story – which ran in newspapers with a combined circulation in the millions, outstripping even CBG – brought them orders for more than that many copies, orders which they could not fill.
Many comics stores which had ordered copies from distributors were unable to get any copies at all of the first printing. The second printing supplied enough copies to meet the initial orders, but publicity generated by the instant sellout of the first printing had resulted in still more orders – and the second printing also sold out
quickly, resulting in yet a third printing.
With all those printings, we'd guess there are still fewer than 10,000 copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 in existence. It's a genuinely hard-to-find item and the interest is strong, primarily because of the initial publicity and word-of-mouth. It was favorably reviewed in CBG, but no more favorably or strongly than dozens of others with similar or smaller print runs have been.
Dealers, translating demand into higher prices, have inflated the cost of this extremely enjoyable and very well-done parody of Ronin and Daredevil into the $75 range. The report you mention from Comics Collectors is by Alex Malloy, who compiles the price guide for CC. He merely reported the asking price as a fact, he did nothing to create it.
Do we think that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 – any printing of it – is worth $75? We most emphatically do not.
However, it certainly is worth the $1.50 cover price.
Anything but 'slow and steady'
And They're Turtles

Student who brought gun to school returns to class
by K.J. Hascall & Kristi Albertson
| December 17, 2010 8:00 PM
COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont. - Columbia Falls High School junior Demari DeReu, who inadvertently brought a rifle to school, was back in class Tuesday after School District 6 trustees voted not to expel her.
DeReu, 16, faced an expulsion hearing Monday night after bringing an unloaded hunting rifle to school earlier this month. DeReu told school officials about the rifle and was suspended immediately per district policy, which is based on state and federal law. She had been out of school since Dec. 1.
District trustees voted unanimously Monday not to expel her and to allow her to return to school today, a decision that relieved DeReu.
"I honestly expected to be expelled today," she said after the meeting.
About 150 people attended the meeting in the Glacier Gateway Elementary gymnasium, most in support of DeReu.
DeReu's case attracted national attention after Gary Marbut, president of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, started an e-mail campaign on her behalf. DeReu's mother, Tracy, e-mailed Marbut about her daughter's situation.
The news was picked up by the National Rifle Association, which footed the bill for the DeReu family lawyer, Sean Frampton.
The trouble began Dec. 1, a few days after hunting season ended. DeReu had gone hunting over the Thanksgiving weekend and forgotten about the .243-caliber rifle locked in the trunk of her car until school officials announced that a contraband-sniffing dog would be on campus that morning. The gun had been in her car in the school parking lot for three days at that point.

Baltimore has decided to take Big Oil by the horns. In late July, Baltimore filed a lawsuit against 26 defendants — including ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell — for exacerbating the city's sea level rise and contributing to recent sporadic weather behavior. City officials argue that these escalating impacts of climate change are at fault for the mounting expenses of protecting Baltimore's residents, businesses, and infrastructure.
Following the battle cries of San Francisco, Oakland, and New York City, Baltimore's case is the latest attempt to hold major players in the fossil fuel industry accountable for climate change.
Earlier this year, journalist Jelmer Mommers discovered a confidential Shell report titled "The Greenhouse Effect" that summarized results of a 1986 study organized by the company's Greenhouse Effect Working Group. The report acknowledged the role of fossil fuels in driving greenhouse gas emissions and quantified the climate impact of Shell's products specifically; accurately predicted and analyzed climate impacts like rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and human migration; and strongly recommended early policy action to curtail climate change.
A similar revelation was made upon the unearthing of ExxonMobil's 1982 climate research that anticipated an increase in global average temperatures by two to three degrees Celsius and a significant impact on some regions' agricultural output.
But despite this knowledge, Shell, ExxonMobil, and its fellow industry titans spearheaded efforts to cast doubt on climate science. In 1989, ExxonMobil and Shell joined an organized coalition of businesses called the Global Climate Coalition to lobby against greenhouse gas reductions. Although the organization officially disbanded in 2002, affiliate climate change deniers continue to influence news media, public opinion, and environmental policy. And while some have recently acknowledged the credibility of climate science, fossil fuel companies often hold that responsibility should not fall on their business operations, but rather, the federal government's power to regulate through legislation.
Baltimore's lawsuit comes at an awkward time, but setbacks haven't yet deterred Baltimore activists from organizing.
News of Baltimore's case came out only a day after a federal judge threw out New York's climate change lawsuit against many of the same petroleum companies. Even more disheartening, climate reparations cases pursued by San Francisco and Oakland were dismissed earlier last month. And absent a fresh angle, many are rightfully skeptical of the Baltimore's ability to make change happen.
However, Baltimore bears one fundamental difference between its own case and these ghosts of lawsuits past: Baltimore has filed in its state circuit court, not a federal court. While federal courts have acknowledged the dangers of climate change, case dismissals have hinged on deferring the responsibility of drafting climate solutions to the other two branches of federal government. Since federal courts have set a precedent in favor of oil companies, some are hopeful that filing at the state-level could encourage a difference in outcome.
The state of Rhode Island also recently filed a climate change lawsuit against 21 oil companies in a state court on the grounds of constituting a "public nuisance." Shell has motioned to take the suit to the federal court — a decision that, if approved, may jeopardize the case.

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA)
Portfolio Contracting Inc. (AODA) Customer Service Policy
The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, is to make Ontario accessible to people with disabilities by 2025. The Accessibility Standards for Customer Service have been created to ensure that goods and services are accessible to all Ontarians and that persons with disabilities are treated with respect, dignity and equality.
Portfolio Contracting Inc. reserves the right to make changes to this "Policy" at any time.
This policy is intended to meet the requirements of Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07 under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, and applies to the provision of goods and services to the public or other third parties, not to the goods themselves.
All goods and services provided by Portfolio Contracting shall follow the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity.
The policy applies to all Portfolio Contracting employees, volunteers, or agents in Ontario who deal with the public or other third parties.
Portfolio Contracting is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities can access our goods and services.
"Accessible" means obtainable, usable, readable, audible, visible, understandable, clear, able to be entered and exited, flexible, etc..... To be accessible to all people, a variety of accessibility plans are necessary. Ensuring inclusive practices will ensure that all goods and services can be accessed by a larger audience.
"Assistive Devices" are equipment that people with disabilities utilize to assist in their daily lives at home, work, school, etc....... Such devices could be a walker, scooter, cane, magnification or specialized learning software, communication board, etc.......
"Disability" as defined by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, and the Ontario Human Rights Code, refers to:
a: any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis amputation, lack of physical coordination, blindness or visual impairment, deafness or hearing impairment (inclusive of partial, total or fluctuating hearing loss), muteness or speech impairment, or physical reliance on a Guide Dog or other animal or sighted guide for persons with visual impairment or total blindness or on a wheelchair or other remedial or assistive device;
b: a condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability;
c: a learning disability, or a dysfunction in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language, a mental disorder, or
d: an injury or disability for which benefits were claimed or received under the insurance plan established under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.
"Guide Dog" is a highly trained working dog that has been trained at one of the facilities listed in Ontario Regulation 58 under the Blind Persons' Rights Act, to provide mobility, safety and increased independence for people who are blind.
"Service Animal" as reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07, an animal is a service animal for a person with a disability if:
a: it is readily apparent that the animal is used by the person for reasons relating to his or her disability; or
b: if the person provides a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires the animal for reasons relating to the disability; or
c: if the person provides a valid identification card or training certificate from a recognized service animal training school.
"Support Person" means, in relation to a person with a disability, another person who accompanies him or her to help with communication, mobility, personal care or medical needs or with access to goods or services.
In accordance with the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07, this policy addresses the following:
1. The Provision of Goods and Services to Persons with Disabilities
2. The Use of Assistive Devices
3. The Use of Guide Dogs and Service Animals
4. The Use of Support Persons
5. Notice of Service Disruptions
6. Customer Feedback
8. Notice of Availability and Format of Required Documents
The Provision of Goods and Services to Persons with Disabilities
Portfolio Contracting will make every reasonable effort to ensure that its policies, practices and procedures are consistent with the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity by:
a: ensuring that all customers receive the same value and quality;
b: allowing customers with disabilities to do things in their own ways, at their own pace when accessing goods and services as long as this does not present a safety risk;
c: using alternative methods when possible to ensure that customers with disabilities have access to the same services, in the same place and in a similar manner;
d: taking into account individual needs when providing goods and services; and e: communicating in a manner that takes into account the customer's disability.
The Use of Assistive Devices
Persons with disabilities may use their own assistive devices as required when accessing goods or services provided by Portfolio Contracting.
In cases where the assistive device presents a safety concern or where accessibility might be an issue, other reasonable measures will be used to ensure the access of goods and services. For example, open flames and oxygen tanks cannot be near one another. Therefore, the accommodation of a customer with an oxygen tank may involve ensuring the customer is in a location that would be considered safe for both the customer and business. Or, where elevators are not present and where an individual requires assistive devices for the purposes of mobility, service will be provided in a location that meets the needs of the customer.
The Use of Guide Dogs and Service Animals
A customer with a disability that is accompanied by a Guide Dog or Service Animal will be allowed access to premises that are open to the public or other third parties unless otherwise excluded by law. If the animal is excluded by law, Portfolio will provide another means of accommodating the person. "No Pet" policies do not apply to Guide Dogs or Service Animals.
There may be rare circumstances where, for reasons of health and safety of another person, allowing a person with a disability to enter premises accompanied by a Guide Dog or Service Animal needs to be considered. Examples of such situations include but are not limited to: a) a shop where chemicals and/or equipment present hazards to other persons and/or to the service animal; and b) where a person is allergic to animals and adversely affected if they are in close proximity to the Guide Dog or Service Animal. In these circumstances, alternate measures will be made available to enable the person with a disability to access the service.
The use and safety of the Guide Dog or Service Animal is the responsibility of the person with a disability. Portfolio is aware that Guide Dogs and Service Animals are usually well trained and well behaved. In the unlikely event that this is not the case, Guide Dogs and Service Animals may be removed from Portfolio's premises after discussion with the user for anyone to the following reasons:
a: Disruptive or aggressive behaviour; such as growling or other signs of threatening or aggressive behavior. (PLEASE NOTE: If the Guide Dog in this case is a Seizure Response Dog – this is an expected response from the animal when assisting the person with a disability.
b: Causing damage; including causing damage to any person or property.
c: Poor health; such as a contagious disease where the animal risks spreading the disease to others.
Some municipalities exclude certain animals from their jurisdictions. Depending on the specifics of the by-law, this may give reason for Portfolio to exclude certain Service Animals from its premises.
The Use of Support Persons
Portfolio Contracting is committed to welcoming people with disabilities who are accompanied by a support person. Any person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to enter public and third party areas of the premise to which they would normally have access to with his or her support person. At no time will a person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person be prevented from having access to his or her support person while on the premises.
When addressing a person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person, employees will communicate directly with the person with a disability. If confidential/personal information is being exchanged and the person with a disability requests to discuss the information in private, the request will be accommodated and the support person asked to wait in another area.
A support person is required to abide by the same rules and regulations as any other person on the premises. For example, both the person with a disability and his/her support person may both be expected to sign-in a log book when entering our premises.
A support person will not be required to pay admission/fees for services provided to a person with a disability unless they are also a recipient of the service.
Notice of Service Disruptions
Service disruptions may occur due to reasons that may or may not be within the control or knowledge of Portfolio Contracting. In the event of any temporary disruptions to facilities or services that customer's with disabilities rely on to access or use Portfolio's goods or services, reasonable efforts will be made to provide advance notice. In some circumstances such as in the situation of unplanned temporary disruptions, advance notice may not be possible.
Notices will be placed in a conspicuous place on the premise and in a format that considers the types of disabilities of persons who use the disrupted service. For example, a notice of disruption for an elevator will be placed at a height that would be at the line of vision for an individual using a wheelchair.
Portfolio Contracting is committed to providing fair and equal access to our premise, facilities and services for everyone, including persons with disabilities. Feedback or complaints about the delivery of goods and services from persons with disabilities may be given in person, by telephone/TTY, in writing, electronically or through other methods. Please direct your feedback to the HR Manager at ( )
or use our contact form, you may also call call us at 905-760-8542 or Fax us at 905-760-2855.
All feedback will be tracked and monitored to ensure the client has received a timely response.
Portfolio Contracting will ensure appropriate levels of training to all employees, volunteers, agents and others who interact with the public on behalf of Portfolio as well as those who are involved in the development and approvals of customer service policies, practices and procedures.
Training will be provided in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Ontario 429/07. Records of training will be kept that include the dates on which training occurred and the number of persons trained.
As reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07, regardless of the format, training will cover the following:
a: a review of the purpose of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005.
b: a review of the requirements of the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07.
c: instructions on how to interact with people with disabilities who:
♦ use assistive devices;
♦ require the assistance of a guide dog or service animal; or
♦ require the use of a support person (including the handling of admission fees).
d: instructions on how to use equipment or devices that are available at our premises or that we provide that may help people with disabilities.
d: instructions on what to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty accessing your services.
d: Portfolio Contracting policies, procedures and practices pertaining to providing accessible customer service to customers with disabilities.
Notice of Availability and Format of Required Documents
Portfolio Contracting shall notify customers that the documents related to the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service are available upon request and in a format that takes into account the customer's disability. Notification will be given by posting the information in a conspicuous place owned and/or operated by Portfolio, Portfolio's website and/or any other reasonable method.

So, what do we need to do to reinforce the size and quality of our lives much more? Researchers worldwide are pursuing numerous ideas , but for Mattison and colleagues, the reply is an easy change in food regimen. They imagine that the important thing to a better old age may be to scale back the amount of food on our plates, by way of an method known as calorie restriction". This eating regimen goes further than cutting again on fatty meals from time-to-time; it's about making gradual and cautious reductions in portion size permanently. For the reason that early 1930s, a 30% reduction within the quantity of food consumed per day has been linked to longer, more active lives in worms, flies, rats, mice, and monkeys. Throughout the animal kingdom, in different phrases, calorie restriction has proven the most effective treatment for the ravages of life. And it is potential that people have simply as much to achieve.

As we send our kids on Birthright, teach them the Hebrew songs and hope they remain attached to Israel, let's make sure that they cherish Israel's democracy as well as its existence.
With the media abuzz over whether or not Israel's government is committed to a two-state solution, there is much concern, understandably, over the direction Israel is heading.
It is now almost a truism to admit that without embarking aggressively on negotiations leading to a two-state solution, Israel will face two choices: create a one-state framework, thereby foregoing the dream of a Jewish state, or entrench an apartheid system and risk intensified global pariah status or another — and likelier even more violent — Palestinian uprising.
Against the backdrop of the Israeli government's protean intentions, my mind is turning to my fellow Diaspora Jews, and specifically the next generation. When it comes to the issue of Israel's future, to what are young Diaspora Jews committed?
Consider the 2007 landmark study of attitudes toward Israel among Jews under 35, conducted by Steven M. Cohen and Ari Y. Kelman. To the statement "if Israel were destroyed, I would feel as if I had suffered one of the greatest personal tragedies of my life," 64% either agreed or agreed strongly. Among respondents 65 and up, the response hovered near 80%.
While the "distancing hypothesis" has been vigorously debated ever since by social scientists and methodologists, the idea that young Jews are becoming even slightly more ho-hum about Israel's existence has been alarming to many.
But with so much focus on whether Diaspora Jews feel attached to Israel, how much attention is being paid to the kind of Israel to which Diaspora Jews are being inculcated to feel attached? Would it be a personal tragedy for these young Jews if Israel ceased to be a democracy?
Young Diaspora Jews are right to feel confused about Israel, even more so in the six years since Cohen and Kelman's study was conducted. With Stephen Hawking's recent boycott of Israel, and Alice Walker taking Alicia Keys to task for not doing the same, tension over the everyday global citizen's relationship to the Jewish state is cresting. Leading the charge on college campuses is the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement.
One way Jewish leaders seem to want young Jews to express their attachment for Israel is by becoming proficient in Israel advocacy. Fair enough. And there is one area where Israel's supporters can point young Diaspora Jews in the direction of rebutting Israel's harshest critics. But without those same young Jews reciprocating in kind, the rebuttal will remain morally hollow, and the next generation's commitment to a democratic Israel will be at risk.
First, here is where the rebuttal can happen. When pushed about what their ultimate goals are for settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, many BDS advocates declare that they are agnostic about one state or two.
But if Diaspora Jews are frustrated by BDS activists denying Israel the right to uphold Jewish national sovereignty, then there is another thing they must do: they must boldly and steadfastly declare that when it comes to the question of Palestinian national freedom, they are not agnostic. They must speak out against a continuing status quo that denies Palestinians their basic rights just as it erodes Israeli democracy.
Yes, these Jewish youth have grown up hearing the tired mantras that instead of "land for peace" there should be "peace for peace," and that there is no partner for peace among the Palestinians. But seriously enabling a Palestinian state does not have to be the zero-sum game that cynics have painted it. Our youth need to be taught this too.
Pushing Israel to return to the negotiating table with the aim of ending the occupation and allowing a contiguous Palestinian state to flourish is a win-win situation. It restores whatever shred of collective Palestinian dignity is left after 46 years of military rule. And it preserves Israel as a democratic homeland worth the Diaspora's continued attachment.
As we send our kids on Birthright, teach them the Hebrew songs we once sang, and hope they remain attached to Israel, let's make sure that Israel's democracy — not only its brute existence — is something they cherish as much as a night spent with friends dancing across Dizengoff, waiting for the sun to rise over their imagined homeland.

How are Childcare and Aged Care Sectors Placed amidst Covid-19 and Government Entitlements
April 01, 2020 01:41 PM AEDT
When people mentally start ranking the countries not based on economic growth but depending on the number of medical cases suffered, it is time to acknowledge that the world does not remain quite the same place.
Confounded by the appalling bulletin about unsurmountable damage, we realise that not a single section on news column is left untouched by the unnerving impact of Covid-19. From general political endeavours in response to coronavirus to the world economy, the pandemic appears to be the focal point of trending discussions. Even the easy-on-senses entertainment section brings information about the outbreak.
Trespassing all the international boundaries, the disease which began in Wuhan soon gripped the entire world, which writhes relentlessly to get out of the medical emergency chains, but to no avail. Cases as per the WHO situation report on 31 March 2020 reached 750,890 while Australia reportedly encountered a total of 4,359 confirmed cases. The mortality rate of the pandemic is another critical concern for the world, as globally, 36,405 lives have been lost due to Covid-19.
The medical emergency and the responsive stagnation of business activities are generating economic uncertainty, shaking the foundation of stock markets all across the world. As the uncertainty gripped Australia, return by S&P/ ASX 200 has dwindled by over 24% on a YTD basis, as on 31 March 2020. Ever since the pandemic has adopted a rapid pace, the level of activity in business zones has stifled. Amidst such times, while the working-age group worry about their job security, the child and aged group sectors are ridden with different difficulties.
In the middle of the crisis, Australian Government was witnessed to provide a range of relief programs to enhance economic stability while also providing aid to childcare and aged care players. Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, Richard Colbeck recently announced a provision of $444.6 million to the aged care sector, incorporating infection control training and retention bonus for aged care workers. Under the banner of "Protecting older Australians", the government has provided new online learning modules along with instructions for ordering personal protective equipment supplies for the aged care sector.
The government to avoid the impact on healthcare system has advised that childcare centres would remain open. In order to minimise the Covid-19 impact on childcare, the Community Child Care Special Circumstances Fund of $14 million would be utilised for covering varying business-related costs.
For the families experiencing financial hardships amidst the outbreak, Additional Child Care Subsidy can be availed, which generally includes the full cost of childcare and is available for a maximum of 13 weeks. While within four working days, applications for less than $10,000 would be processed, the government has also implemented programs that are directed at streamlining the process for larger grants.
In the time of rising economic despair and bearish trends, the Australian Government has buckled up with a range of programs to ease the hardships of businesses and workers involved in the child and aged care sectors.
With this backdrop, let us look at few players and their performance in the same space.
Estia Health Limited (ASX: EHE)

Long-term low-dose radiation exposure may increase leukemia risk via Reuters
(Reuters Health) – In a long-term study of more than 300,000 workers in France, the U.S. and the U.K., those with many years of exposure to low doses of radiation had an increased risk of dying from leukemia.
Medical workers and even patients are also exposed to much more radiation than was common decades ago, the study authors point out, but it's unclear what amount of low-level exposure raises cancer risk, they say.
"A lot of epidemiological or radiobiological studies have brought evidence that exposure to ionizing radiation can cause cancer and leukemia," said lead author Dr. Klervi Leraud of the Radiobiology and Epidemiology Department at Fontenay-aux-Roses in Cedex, France.
Workers exposed to ionizing radiation who are later diagnosed with leukemia can already ask for financial compensation in the U.S., the U.K. or France, Leraud told Reuters Health by email.
Leukemia is a cancer of the tissues that make blood cells, and it's known to be caused by exposure to high doses of radiation, like that released by the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945. In the years following those bombings, leukemia cases increased among the survivors, the authors note in The Lancet Haematology. But such high doses are rare today.
For the new study, researchers considered 308,297 nuclear energy workers whose radiation exposures were monitored. All had worked for at least a year for the French Atomic Energy Commission or similar employers or for the Departments of Energy and Defense in the U.S., or were members of the National Registry for Radiation Workers in the U.K.
The workers were followed for an average of 27 years, with data on exposure and health status through the early- to mid-2000s, depending on their country. Researchers looked for deaths from leukemia or lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system that also involves blood cells.
About 22 percent of the workers had died by the end of follow-up. There were 531 deaths due to leukemia and 814 due to lymphoma.
In the U.S., the average person's yearly exposure to ionizing radiation in 1982 was 0.5 mGy, but by 2006 it had risen to 3 mGy, largely due to medical exposures, Leraud and colleagues write.
In the new study, the researchers calculate that for each gray (1,000 mGy) of total radiation exposure, a worker's risk of leukemia rose three-fold. The effect was greatest for chronic myeloid leukemia, with a 10.45-fold risk increase per gray.

Maimed soldier sent home from hospital
A SOLDIER who lost his arm from wounds he received in a shoot-out with Taliban fighters has been discharged from hospital.
Andrew Stockton, 39, has been recovering at Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital after being airlifted out of Afghanistan.
Mr Stockton's parents, Ron and Joyce Stockton of Milton Green, near Chester, visited him last week.
Joyce, 63, who has received cards and flowers from well-wishers, said: "People have been very kind.
"Andrew is full of life and has been telling jokes. There are much worse cases in that hospital."
Andrew was flown back to the UK 10 days ago and the following day his parents were at his bedside along with his sons Liam, 18, who flew in from his home in Ireland, and Ben, 17, who lives with Andrew's ex-wife, Michelle Bleazard, at Barton, near Malpas.
The family are still unclear about the incident but say that, contrary to initial reports, the death of Captain Jim Philippson happened in a separate gun fight.
WO II Stockton served in Iraq and Northern Ireland. He was due to see out his last four years training TA soldiers and spending more time with his partner, Emma, at their Wiltshire home.

Q: javascript - call exported function from another class Here's the scenario: There is a file called api.js which has method api() to make api calls. There is another class called AutoLogout which has functionality to show autologout modal and logging out user after certain time in case of no activity. These works fine.
index.js in ../services
export { default as api } from './api';
// export { api, onResponse } from './api'; tried this as well
export { default as userService } from './userService';

api.js
import userService from './userService';

export function onResponse(response) {
    // returns response to calling function
    return response;
}

async function api(options) {
  const settings = Object.assign(
    {
      headers: {
        'content-type': 'application/json',
        'x-correlation-id': Math.random()
          .toString(36)
          .substr(2),
      },
      mode: 'cors',
      credentials: 'include',
      body: options.json != null ? JSON.stringify(options.json) : undefined,
    },
    options,
  );

  const response = await window.fetch(`/api/v0${options.endpoint}`, settings);
  // calling onResponse() to send the response
  onResponse(response);

  if (response.status === 403) return userService.logout();
  if (response.status > 299) throw new Error();
  if (response.status === 204) return true;
  return response.json ? response.json() : false;
}

export default api;

Now, in response header I've "x-expires-at" and I want to use it in autologout. So, that if api call is made the user token resets.
auto-lougout.js
import { userService, api } from '../services';
// import { userService, api, onResponse } from '../services'; tried this as well
export default class AutoLogout {

  constructor() {
    super();
    if (!userService.getUser()) userService.logout();
    // here I am not able to call onResponse() from api.js
    // getting response received from onResponse()
    api.onResponse((resp) => { console.log(resp.headers.get('x-expires-at'))});
  }
}

Trying to implement as an example given in this article:
https://zpao.com/posts/calling-an-array-of-functions-in-javascript/
Here I cannot use export { api, onResponse }; as api is already being used at multiple places in whole project.
How do I call onResponse function in one js file from another class in another js file ? Am I using callback correctly here ? If not, how to use callback correctly in such scenario ?

A:
Here I cannot use export { api, onResponse }; as api is already being used at multiple places in whole project.

The correct import/export syntax for your project would be
// api.js
export function onResponse() { … }
export default function api() { … }

// index.js
export { default as userService } from './userService';
export { default as api, onResponse } from './api';

// elsewhere
import { userService, api, onResponse } from '../services';
// use these three

Am I using callback correctly here?

No, not at all. onResponse should not be a function declared in your api.js file, and it should not be exported from there - sparing you all the above hassle.

If not, how to use callback correctly in such scenario?

Make the callback a parameter of the function that uses it:
export default async function api(options, onResponse) {
//                                         ^^^^^^^^^^
  const settings = Object.assign(…);

  const response = await window.fetch(`/api/v0${options.endpoint}`, settings);

  onResponse(response);

  …
}

Then at the call of the api function, pass your callback as an argument:
api(options, resp => {
  console.log(resp.headers.get('x-expires-at'));
});

The work of public history calls for taking good history scholarship into the world to meet the needs and interests of non-academic audiences. While much of that work has traditionally happened in face to face encounters and at physical sites, increasingly public historians are encountering their audiences through digital means, such as social media, blogs, exhibit sites, collection and archives sites, mobile applications, and digital simulations.
This site will introduce public historians and their students to the theories and methods central to doing digital public history, and will equip them with the skills necessary to plan and execute their own projects.

The Walks » Lake District (Cumbria) Walks » Coniston – Old Railway Line and Lake Shore round
Cumbria is a large county in North West England and contains the Lake District and Lake District National Park. It is bounded to the north by the Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, to the west by the Irish Sea, to the south by Lancashire, to the south east by North Yorkshire, and to the east by County Durham and Northumberland. Cumbria is very mountainous containing every peak in England over 3,000ft above sea level with Scafell Pike being England's highest mountain at 978 m (3,209ft). Cumbria is also one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty attracting mountain climbers, hikers and walkers, cyclists, runners and tourists and holds a source of inspiration for artists, writers and musicians. Cumbria consists of six districts Eden, Carlisle, Allerdale, Copeland, South Lakeland and Barrow-in-Furness.
The Lake District is an area with stunning scenery located within in the County of Cumbria. Commonly known as The Lakes or Lakeland it was granted National Park status on 9th May 1951 less than a month after the first UK designated National Park, The Peak District. It is the largest of thirteen National Parks in England and Wales and the largest in the UK after the Cairngorms. The Lake District National Park itself covers an area of 885 square miles and stretches 30 miles from Ravenglass in the west to Shap in the east and 35 miles from Caldbeck in the north to Lindale in the south. Crammed with so much natural beauty the Lakes attract visitors, tourists and holiday makers from all over the world. As the name suggests there are many lakes each with their own uniqueness, amenities and activities such as lakeside walks, sailing, waterskiing, boat trips and ferries. All of the lakes except Bassenthwaite Lake are named by water, tarn or mere and are surrounded by stunning scenery and magnificent fells. There are some wonderful towns to explore such as Keswick, Windermere, Ambleside, Kendal, Hawkshead, Grasmere and Cockermouth all with a splendid mixture of shops, cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants. There are also many museums, theatres, historic homes, gardens and many easy walks for the not so energetic visitor wishing not to climb the fells. William Wordsworth the famous British poet was born in Cockermouth and later lived in Grasmere where he wrote some of his best works before moving to Rydal Mount near Ambleside for his last 37 years. Both places are open to visitors and so is Brantwood home to John Ruskin until his death. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey and Thomas de Quincey all followed Wordsworth to the Lake District. Arthur Ransome, author of Swallows and Amazons, also grew to love the lakes and settled in the Winster Valley near Windermere. The painters Thomas Gainsborough, JMW Turner and John Constable were early visitors to the lakes but it was John Ruskin who settled here at Brantwood on the shore of Coniston Water. Farming and especially sheep farming has been historically and still is the main industry of the Lake District. The tough Herdwick breed with their stocky build and distinctive grey coat are especially hardy for the Lakeland fells and its weather. Sheep farming has probably been here since Viking times and is an important factor both to the economy of the lakes as well as in preserving the stunning landscape which attracts visitors and hence income to the region. Walking is a big attraction in the Lake District whether strolling around the low lying lakes or climbing up into the mountainous fells whichever is undertaken the scenery is magnificent. Alfred Wainwright's famous hand written book, The Pictorial Guide to the Lake District, published in 1955 is a collection of seven books each illustrated with his unique style and charm of the 214 fells inspiring many visitors and tourists from all over the world.
Coniston is a lovely little village close to the northern end of Coniston Water in the Furness area of Cumbria and located in the southern part of the Lake District National Park and also within the boundaries of Lancashire. The village consists of the Ruskin Museum, a Tourist Information Centre, a variety of shops, post office, spar shop, cafes, tea rooms and four pubs The Sun, The Crown Inn, The Yewdale Hotel and The Black Bull Inn and Hotel. There are also two Youth Hostels one on the edge of the village and the other in the nearby Coppermines Valley. Coniston is and grew as both a farming community and to serve local copper and slate mines. It was a scattered rural community until the copper mines, dating from Jacobean times, were revitalised about 1859. The village grew mainly around Coniston Hall, a 16th century farmhouse with massive chimneys, built by the Fleming family which is now owned by the National Trust. Two of Coniston's volcanic slate quarries are still operating one in Coppermine's Valley being blue slate and the other at Bursting Stone on the east side of the Old Man of Coniston being light green slate. In the Victorian times Coniston became popular with tourists partly due to the construction of a branch of the Furness Railway which opened to passengers in 1859 and terminated at Coniston railway station. The creation of the national park in the 1950's provided a further boost to tourism and so did John Ruskin, artist, writer, critic, teacher and philosopher, who bought and lived in Brantwood House on the eastern side of Coniston Water from 1872 until his death in 1900 is buried in Coniston village churchyard of St Andrews. The museum in Coniston village is dedicated to Ruskin and also covers the history and heritage of Coniston Water and the Lake District. Arthur Ransom, novelist, gained much of his inspiration for his children's novel 'Swallows and Amazons' from Coniston Water. The water has become known for a controversial murder case. Mrs Carol Park was dubbed the 'Lady in the Lake' after the Raymond Chandler novel of the same name.
Coniston Water at five miles long and half a mile wide is the third largest lake in the Lake District and is an example of a ribbon lake formed by glaciations during the last ice age and drains into the sea via the River Crake. In the 13th and 14th centuries Coniston Water was an important source of fish for the monks of Furness Abbey who owned the lake and much of the surrounding land. In the 20th century Coniston Water was the scene of many attempts to break the world water speed record. On the 19th August 1939 Sir Malcolm Campbell set the record at 141.74 miles per hour in Bluebird K4. His son Donald Campbell set four successive records on the lake in Bluebird K7, a hydroplane, between 1956 and 1959. It was on the 4th January 1967 that Donald Campbell achieved a top speed of 320 miles per hour in Bluebird K7 on the return leg of a record breaking attempt but he lost control of Bluebird which somersaulted and crashed sinking very quickly killing him instantly on impact. The attempt could not be counted as a record breaking run because the second leg was not completed. Bluebird was recovered from Coniston Water on 8th March 2001 and the remains of Donald Campbell's body were brought up on 28th May. A memorial service was held on the 12th September and his body buried in the churchyard. Coniston Water is ideal for kayaking and canoeing as there are a number of good sites for launching and recovery. Boats of various sizes can be hired from the lake side near the steam yacht and the water-speed limit is 10 mph except for boats attempting new world water-speed records during Records Week which is normally held in the first week of November. The lake is paddled as the second leg of the Three Lakes Challenge. The steam yacht 'Gondola' along with two smaller motorised launches tour the lake in the summer months.
The Cumbria Way is a 70 mile long distance footpath passing through the heart of the Lake District National Park linking the two historic towns of Ulverston and Carlisle. The route cuts through the most beautiful Lakeland countryside via Coniston, Langdale, Borrowdale, Derwent Water, Skiddaw Forest and Caldbeck. The Cumbria Way was originally developed in the 1970's by local Ramblers' Association members and is mainly low level but does contain some high level exposed sections and the highest point is High Pike at 658 metres (2,159 ft). The waymarking of the entire route was completed by volunteers and national park staff in May 2007.
We make our way to St Andrews Church and take a look at John Ruskin's Grave before we cross over the bridge, on the main road, and turn immediate right. We follow the narrow lane uphill past the Sun Hotel to a t-junction and turn right. We continue uphill and take the 1st turn left onto Old Furness Road. We head forward and the road soon becomes a footpath. We then follow the route of the old railway line until we come to a gate at a lane we go through turn left then right onto the main road. After about 100 yards we turn left through a swing gate into a field signposted Torver. We continue to follow the route of the old railway line to go through another gate in the next field. We soon join a tarmac track by the entrance to a caravan park and head forwards. At the right hand bend we keep heading forwards along a stony path. We go through a gate and head forwards to reach a wall. We go through a gate on the right and turn immediate left signposted Torver. We now follow the footpath parallel to the main road for just over ½ mile until we come to the railway bridge and a gate. We bear right slightly uphill following the footpath sign for Coniston via Lake Shore to go through the gate onto a lane. We turn left to cross over the Railway Bridge and continue along the lane, passing by two farm tracks on the left, to a stony track on the left signposted Torver Jetty and Public footpath to the Lake. No vehicles. No bikes. We follow the stony track past a barn on our left and when the path splits we bear right and go through a gate with a yellow arrow. We head forwards to go through another gate then follow the path through the trees until we reach Coniston Water. We turn left following the waters edge past a boathouse, go through two wooden swing gates, cross over a flat footbridge then immediately through two gates in a wall. Head forwards to go through another gate in the wall then follow the broad track through the campsite to pass by Coniston Hall on the right and as soon as we pass through a gate between two barns we bear right onto a stony footpath. We go through the next gate and follow the path and when the path turns right we head straight forward through a gate. We bear right, go through the next gate and follow the grassy path to the stile at main road. We now turn right and follow the roadside footpath back into Coniston.
This is an easy walk on good well walked paths, tracks, tarmac and some minor road.

Q 2: If you were a small, local shop selling baked goods or beverages with limited time to work with your online marketing, what are the top three things you would focus on in order of importance?
A 2: Local SEO works really well and doesn't require a huge budget, doing the basics, a basic website, some local SEO, Map Listing, some citations and even trying out some basic stuff on social media to raise your business profile in the local area is always a good place to start. Even doing some local Facebook advertising can be done on a very modest budget.
Q 3: With the increase in mobile device usage, what do you think restaurants and online retailers should be doing as a minimum in regards to local SEO?
A 3: It surprises me that given over 60% of people are using mobile devices when searching that websites out there are not mobile friendly, any online business should have a nice easy to navigate website with some local SEO if they want to get that exposure. If they don't want to do the basics then the competition will and some good business can be generated from a little bit of local exposure. Do the basics and get a website that shows exactly what the business has to offer, as there will be searches going on and you want to be in front of those people.
Q 4: Do you think local SEO will get more or less important as time goes on?
A 4: For small businesses it is very important, people are very specific when they search and very often will add a location to their search term when looking for services. For example, if someone was looking for a "Roof Repair" they are likely to search for " Roof Repairs & their location " rather than simply Roof repairs.
So, I think people are becoming more specific with their searches and I feel that having that local exposure is only going to become more important as time goes on.
Q 5: How do you think the advancements in virtual reality will affect local businesses in search, if at all?
A 5: It's hard to say at this stage how it will affect local businesses, but the way things are going there is always going to be integration with new technology and businesses will be able to show off their products or services using virtual reality. Even on a much smaller scale local businesses are showing off their premises by using Google 360 images, and I can only imagine that with virtual reality that we will be seeing more advanced ways of showcasing products, premises and whatever needs to be shown in much more detail.
And of course, that will always help as all of this new technology improves what we can see, so it will improve online sales which is the main purpose at the end of the day.
Q 6: Do you have any suggestions for in-house marketers to get buy-in on local SEO initiatives?
A 6: If an in-house marketing team was doing some local SEO there shouldn't really be a cost, its time based so it really should not come down to budgets etc. There is no cost to get a map listing, it is completely free, this coupled with some local directories which are free and some local relevant links are all that's required for some local SEO. It would always be the first steps when starting out getting some local traffic to the website.
Q 7: How important is Google My Business and Reviews as it relates to restaurants in local search?
A 7: My business is a massive part of local search and is one of the first things I would suggest someone does when setting up a small local business. Reviews are also important, mainly because people like to read reviews and seeing someone with 4 or 5 stars over someone who doesn't is always likely to give a customer a good impression.
So it would help a consumer making a choice between your business and another, and there is also this debate as to whether there is a ranking signal from reviews, I've seen people claim they do also help your rankings in local search and Moz said it makes up 8% of the ranking signal for local search. It's not a case of who gets the most reviews win, but I do firmly believe they do help you a little so you would want to try and get your customers doing them for you when you can.


I am stoked about the opportunity to research and learn more about education on a global level. Working with the Fulbright group is an experience of a life time.
I am thankful for my assistant principal's willingness to support me in building a drone after school program. There were challenges along the way, but it was very rewarding to see how engaged students were in this STEM aeronautics opportunity at Pocomoke Middle.
No feeling can describe the feeling you get when you are named a school-level Teacher of the Year in Worcester County Public Schools. Being one of 14 finalists is truly an amazing feeling and responsibility as each finalist represents their school as well as the district. I look forward to the exciting opportunity to represent my school and the Pocomoke community.
I am quite shocked to be selected for this honor, but more important, I am ecstatic when sharing the amazing work of #PocomokeScholars and our work utilizing technology to enhance literacy at Pocomoke Middle School. My students continually amaze me with their many talents and are adamant about pushing the boundaries making our work even more authentic. Being involved in ILA, as well as my local chapter of the Eastern Shore Reading Council, has allowed me to network with many top shelf professionals and grow my instructional knowledge.
I am humbled to be a part of the Emerging Leaders Program at ASCD. ASCD continues to be one of the leaders in supporting teachers, administrators, and district personnel in all aspects of education. The opportunity to network with so many topnotch educators is amazing. I look forward to all the great resources, knowledge, and wisdom gained from this experience to better assist the needs of my students.
I am thankful for my principal's persistence in pushing me to apply for this in-district award. It was very rewarding to share the modified distance learning project completed via Google Hangouts/Docs with another class approximately 200-miles away.
I was honored to be nominated as the North Dorchester Middle School Teacher of the Year. This award recognizes outstanding teachers and the importance of the teaching profession. It was an honor to represent my school as well as other educators in Dorchester County.


We are almost at the end of another month and it is again time to review the cuttings bed.
To begin I would like to thank all of you who wished me a safe trip and my MIL a speedy recovery. I arrived here in Suffolk on Wednesday evening ready for MIL's return on Thursday. I'm pleased to report that she is making excellent progress now she is back in her own home.
It is fun to choose flowers from a different garden and I was pleased to find plenty of choice in the garden to provide two small vases one for the sitting room and one for the dressing table.
The images aren't so good as I don't have my camera with me so these were taken with my phone. The plus point is that I was able to take the photographs outside in natural light.
The first vase uses Anemone 'Honerine Joubert', Sarccococca, and some nice red berries from a honeysuckle that is covered with them. The second vase has a lovely fern (I would so like to have some of these in my garden to be able to use), Penstemon and Scabious.
So with the usual thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for hosting. Do visit Cathy or why not join in, I'm sure you could find something to enjoy in a vase and share with us.

Rabbinic group endorses human rights for Israel's Arab minority
A rabbinic group endorsed an organization promoting human rights for Israel's Arab minority.
The Central Conference of American Rabbis, which represents 2,000 Reform rabbis, adopted a resolution Tuesday supporting the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Israeli-Arab Issue, which wants to improve conditions for non-Jews in Israel.
"We urge all CCAR members to become increasingly educated on Israeli-Arab issues and to share their knowledge and concerns with the people they serve," the group said in a statement. "We call upon synagogues, federations, and other organizations to join the Inter-Agency Task Force, and urge its members to lead these organizations to do so wherever possible."
The CCAR said that despite notable efforts by the Israeli government and other organizations, the living conditions in Arab villages and towns throughout Israel were far below those in Jewish communities.
"We saw men, women, and children living in situations that would not be tolerated in Israeli Jewish communities or in the United States or Canada, including schools without running water and daily routes to school that are perilous or impassable on certain days," the CCAR said, quoting a report filed by a delegation that returned from a visit to Arab communities in Israel.

The French Army in the First World War
Ian Sumner
* A broad selection of over 200 photographs recording the French army during the Great War
* Previously unpublished photographs showing the experience of the French soldiers and the conditions in which they served
* A graphic introduction to the history of an army that has often been neglected in English accounts of the conflict

The French army of the First World War withstood the main force of the German onslaught on the Western Front, but often it is neglected in English histories of the conflict. Now, though, keen interest in the war in general and in the part the French played in it has prompted a fresh appreciation of their army and the men who served in it.
Ian Sumner's wide-ranging photographic history is an important contribution in this growing field. Using a selection of over 150 rare wartime photographs, he provides a graphic overview of every aspect of a French soldier's service during the struggle.
But while the photographs create a fascinating all-round portrait of the French poilu at war, they also give an insight into the army as a whole, and offer a rare French perspective on the Great War.
Ian Sumner is a prolific writer and researcher who specializes in local and military history. He has made a particular study of the French army and air force during the First World War, his many books on the subject including The French Army 1914-18, French Poilu 1914-18, First Battle of the Marne 1914, They Shall Not Pass: The French Army on the Western Front 1914-1918, Kings of the Air: French Aces and Airmen of the Great War and The French Army at Verdun.

Well, because I need to modify something on a standard theme, it's best practice to use a child theme. Otherwise if I made an update on theme, all my changes would be lost. A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child theme allows you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the safest and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
Note: Please follow Child Themes on WordPress to find out what's the exact process to create a child theme.
To add the logo to the website I had to create the twentythirteen-child directory under WP_HOME/wp-content/themes, where I only store the header.php and style.css files.
Note that the only difference to the original file is adding the image (line 5) and some extra div elements to get better control with the style sheet file.
Note that the style sheet must start with the comment lines (1-9). You can change each of these lines to suit your theme. The only required lines are the Theme Name (line 2), and the Template (line 7). The Template is the directory name of the parent theme. In this case, the parent theme is the TwentyThirteen theme, so the Template is twentythirteen, which is the name of the directory where the TwentyThirteen theme resides. If you want to make a child of a theme with the directory name example-theme-name, then you would use Template: example-theme-name.
Note : the child theme's stylesheet is included after the parent theme's and styles will therefore override those in the parent theme's stylesheet (line 11).
Now to the logo adding part, I floated both the image (line 27) and the title_subtitle div (line 28) to the left, and after that I cleared the floating (line 29).
To keep the responsivness of the theme I used media queries (lines 41-47). This makes the image and texts smaller when the size shrinks (I based the sizing on the original style.css file, where max-width is a little bit smaller, but unless I set it bigger, it would have moved the title under the logo for some widths). You can see this in action by resizing the browser window of this post.
Well, that's it. Easy, wasn't it? I have to thank the WordPress guys for that and for creating this amazing product – keep up the good work guys!!!

The Rhetoric of Humor explores questions around the central concept of humor and comedic writing: What takes place when we laugh? When might jokes be inappropriate? What is the role of humor in a democratic society? How does one write an effective comedic argument? Readings by comedians, philosophers, journalists, cartoonists, sociologists, activists and others take up these issues and more. Questions and assignments for each selection provide a range of activities for students, while the website for the Spotlight Series offers comprehensive instructor support with sample syllabi and additional teaching resources.
The Bedford Spotlight Reader Series is an exciting line of single-theme readers, each featuring Bedford's trademark care and quality. An Editorial Board of more than a dozen compositionists at schools focusing on specific themes assists in the development of the series. The readers in the series collect thoughtfully chosen readings sufficient for an entire writing course—about 35 selections—to allow instructors to provide carefully developed, high-quality instruction at an affordable price. Bedford Spotlight Readers are designed to help students make inquiries from multiple perspectives, opening up topics such as monsters, borders, subcultures, happiness, money, food, sustainability, and gender to critical analysis. The readers are flexibly arranged in thematic chapters, each focusing in depth on a different facet of the central topic.


Craigslist beware; there's a new app in town for those that want turn their trash into cash, and it may just revolutionize the way mobile users search for goods. Rumgr (currently available on Apple products including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) is a virtual yard sale application that is simple, user-friendly, and allows for random browsing akin to what you might encounter at an actual yard sale, only on your smartphone or tablet. And it seems as though some big names believe that this little app can go the distance, considering that the founders of Rumgr recently raised $500,000 in start up capital to take their business idea to the next level.
The concept for Rumgr originated with co-founder (and former Zappos employee) Dylan Bathurst. After trying to sell off some furniture during a move, Bathurst apparently decided that the platforms available for such transactions simply weren't up to snuff. Many are too complicated, too bogged down with junk, or simply not focused on the garage sale experience. And most cover large and densely populated geographic areas, meaning that anyone seeking items for sale is immediately overloaded with options, reducing the chance that any one person will be able to sell their stuff in an efficient manner.
So Bathurst teamed up with two other Zappos alums (Ray Morgan and Alex Coleman) to create Rumgr, which mimics the experience of a yard sale in an interesting and unique way. If you go to Craigslist, for example, you can search for specific items in the "for sale" section. But you might end up traveling miles away to pick them up. With Rumgr, you just open the app and have instant access to all available items within your area, with those at the top of the list being offered in the closest proximity to your current location. It starts with a radius of 1 mile and fans out to 2 miles, 5 miles, and so on. Much like attending an actual garage sale, you have no idea what you might find when you open the app (although they have hinted that a search feature may be in their future). If you're having a premonition that this location-based marketplace app could be extremely addictive, you're not alone.
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh and CTO Arun Rajan are just two of the investors to pitch in on a $500K start up fund for the company, Rumgr Inc., which has plans to expand outside of their native Las Vegas. While a basic version of the app was already available on iTunes, the update pushed on February 1 included add-ons like a map to plot area sales, tracking tabs to place on interesting items, and a separate screen for making offers (which would have occurred in the public chat section before). It may not be quite as exciting as sifting through the contents of a Manhattan loft or as quaint as grabbing the local paper to visit Bend garage sales, but it still looks like a lot of fun.
And according to the founders, the idea is to reinvent garage sales for a mobile medium in a way that is easy for both posters (who simply upload pics of their items and wait for responses) and buyers. That way sellers get the garage sale without the setup and buyers can browse without feeling like they have to commit. No doubt some will find the virtual experience less fulfilling than the real deal, but it's likely that a lot more will enjoy the ease of use and many other benefits that stem from a virtual yard sale that results in real goods.

Black Friday shopping in the event of a pandemic: COVID-19 closes some stores, and online sales move
2 years ago Jeffrey Clark
Posted Friday, November 27, 2020 5:52 AM EST
Last update Friday, Nov 27, 2020, 7:21 am EST
Black Friday has arrived, and it's the mine of one-day shopping known for its big deals and big crowds.
While rising COVID-19 cases and weeks of overlapping deals have tempered the usual hype of a shopping event, retailers are relying on today's sales to boost their bottom line.
Retail analysts say some bargain hunters are still expected to shop at brick and mortar stores, where possible, in hopes of striking a bargain.
But they say the majority of this year's Black Friday purchases are expected to be made online.
Eric Morris, head of retail at Google Canada, says e-commerce in Canada has doubled during the pandemic.
Given the ongoing closings and capacity limits in the store, he says, online sales are expected to be strong today and to remain high during the holiday shopping season.
In fact, the big box stores, which often draw the biggest groups and crowds on Black Friday, have carried most of the promotions online.
However, although the top sellers on Black Friday tend to be big-ticket electronics, it might be some shoppers looking for deals on more staples.
Lisa Hutchson, managing partner at consulting firm JC Williams Group, says some shoppers may benefit from today's sales for "winter storage and collection".
Black Friday, which began as a post-Thanksgiving sale in the United States, has gained popularity in Canada in recent years.
It's also becoming an increasingly important sales event for retailers, along with Cyber Monday, which overshadowed Boxing Day.

Robin Sahota, Canadian managing director and retail leader for professional services company Accenture, says retailers may be offering some special discounts for Cyber Monday.
"It will be a day when retailers are looking to add some sweeteners to attract consumers, especially as Black Friday approaches," he says. "I think people will be looking for something special on Electronic Mondays."
This report was first published by The Canadian Press on November 27, 2020.
