Seven capacities
March 3, 2011 Ethics, Ideas, Synesis, Systems thinkinganomalogue
The capacity to describe a situation in all its factual, practical and meaningful dimensions, doing justice to the full experience of the situation is one thing.
The capacity to explain the situation by modeling it as a dynamic with particular causes and effects, inputs and outputs is a second thing.
The capacity to assert an ethic, an meaningful (or emotional) stance toward the situation, which permits evaluation of the situation and its constituent elements, and which orients oneself to the situation is a third thing.
The capacity to envisage an ethic that is not merely a response to a situation, but an independent ideal capable of serving as a positive goal for overcoming an undesirable situation is a fourth thing.
The capacity to discern an ethical vision from an idealized, emotionally-satisfying situational image is a fifth thing.
The capacity to apply an ethical ideal in concrete situations in a way that can, in concrete reality, actually change the facts, dynamics and meanings of the situation from an undesired state to a desired one is a sixth thing.
Finally, the capacity to keep the faith — to cultivate and adhere to a positive ethic — while navigating undesirable situations which compel negative ethical responses which conflict with and threaten to distort or obscure one's positive ideal is a seventh thing.
Unfortunately, people do not distinguish these abilities, and the consequences are often disastrous.
Exercise of the first capacity, the ability to empathize, makes people feel understood, and gives them a sense of solidarity with those who share their experience. Exercise of the second capacity, the ability to produce an explanation, makes people feel clear. Exercise of the third capacity, the ability to give someone a feeling of moral orientation toward a problem, makes people feel resolve.
By this point, people stop paying attention to consequences, and begin to simply act for the pleasure of acting with a feeling of solidarity, clarity, and resolve they lacked before. And the action produces all the ideals and images — and eventually, fabricated facts and derivative explanations — to justify, perpetuate and intensify its action.
Every ideology proceeds along this path, winning generic credibility, lower capacities one to create an impression of higher capacities. It all works because all who believe, are invested with the qualities they believe in, and in the belief that these capacities are not only sufficient, but comprehensive.
This line of thought is similar to the one behind my criticism of the Peter Principle.
To put it simply: We tend to flatten qualitative difference into quantitative degree.
This tendency reduces greatness into double-plus goodness, genius into double-plus smartness, leadership into double-plus administrative competence, etc.
Real difference means we actually need each other's strengths in order to develop our own and to apply them to greatest effect.

Indian Trains (Paperback)
By Erika T. Wurth
Indian Trains is about small town Indians, about community and family, about thieves, prostitutes, train stealers, drug dealers, loners, jerks, dreaming alcoholics, and the ones who did everything but all of that. It is about an entirely new tribe: urban mixed-bloods of multiple tribes who are respectful of where their ancestors have come from but are increasingly going to Indian powwows, Indian bars, and Urban Native organizations for cultural fulfillment rather than only returning to reservations to find out who they are. They are about 70 percent of the Indian population--the truly unsung peoples of America.
This is a funny, sad, and powerful book. Each poem is lovely and the cumulative effect is devastating.--Sherman Alexie
The country between poetry and stories is where this story-singer comes from. Tales of polished obsidian. Full of night, fascinating, and frightful. Glistening and brilliant. Small enough to hold in the hand. Sharp enough to tear open the heart. I was left breathless.--Sandra Cisneros
Indian Trains is a marvelous, intimate poetic journey. There are hardy native families here, the immediacy of survivors and traditionalists. The incomparable images arise from worried hearts, irony, the actual centers of cultural memory. Erika Wurth writes about a woman on a leather chair, 'a revolution in her heart, ' as she waits for 'metaphors to change everything.' And they do in this brave, inspired selection of poems.--Gerald Vizenor, Almost Ashore

COVID-19News Updates
April 14 County Update Cites No New Cases
Kathy Dahlkemper was joined by NWPA Job Connect's Janet Anderson

WQLN Livestream
Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine today reported that there had been 1,146 new positive cases of COVID-19, bringing the statewide total to 25,345. There have been 584 deaths due to complications of the disease.
Beginning at 3 p.m., Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper announced that there were no new cases in Erie County. So far, there have been 40 documented cases. For the first time in any of her addresses, Dahlkemper reported the number of recoveries, at 17. There have been 1,129 negative cases tested.
Dahlkemper went on to restress the importance of social distancing and wearing a mask when in public.
She addressed comments regarding the correlation between low numbers and a lack of testing, saying that "while you are not wrong that we haven't had adequate testing, according to what we would really like to have, neither have any other counties. But we do know that about 25% of the people who are positive for COVID-19 do not even have any symptoms." She continued, saying that "we are not aware of any bottlenecks, any testing backlogs, or any shortage of supplies here in Erie County for those who are deemed necessary to be tested." She later reminded listeners that "only those who are symptomatic are getting tested at this point," and noted that "those with little or no symptoms are really the biggest risk of spreading COVID-19, especially if you aren't taking precautions like wearing a mask when you're outside of your home."
She clarified that "there is no expectation of blanket testing here in Erie County at this point."
For additional information, residents can go to the county and The Erie County Department of Health's website at eriecountypa.gov, and at (814) 451-6700 for questions about symptoms, or enforcement issues.
For anyone experiencing anxiety and questions, they are instructed to call the helpline at 814) 273-7007.
Though there was a "Rumor" hotline as well, Dahlkemper explained that this line is scheduled for discontinuation at 5 p.m. April 14.
During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12-18), the public is encouraged to send them a note of thanks at public.safety@eriecountypa.gov.
Janet Anderson, of NWPA Job Connect joined Dahlkemper in the studio. She outlined the ongoing efforts of the organization, which provides career services to individuals and small businesses. For services and more information, you can call (814) 853-5254 or (814) 853-5829, or by Facetime at (814) 853-3942 or Skype at northwestpacareerlink@gmail.com.
As talk of restarting the economy begins, Erie's place in the matter was questioned. Though Erie County's numbers have so far been much better than other parts of the state, Dahlkemper noted that "we are beginning to have some discussions, and reaching out to our counterparts on the state level to see what this looks like. But it's not going to be this week, and it's not going to be next week."

ORLANDO ORCHESTRA'S PROGRAM INTERESTING, WELL-PLAYED
TIM SMITH, Music WriterSUN-SENTINEL
ORLANDO -- Not long ago, orchestras from Central and western Florida traveled annually to West Palm Beach for appearances in concert series presented by the Regional Arts Foundation. The chance to make comparisons invariably was interesting; the visitors often sounded as good as or better than South Florida ensembles.
Well, there hasn't been much chance for such comparisons in the past few years; those others don't travel as they once did. And with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Florida and New World Symphony getting so much attention these days, many South Floridians have forgotten all about the in-state competition.
So it was doubly informative to come here for a concert by the Florida Symphony Orchestra. This is an interesting time for the organization, which has had its share of financial troubles recently. The money picture is looking remarkably bright, thanks to a rather bold initiative by the city's mayor -- an initiative South Florida might do well to follow.
Mayor Bill Frederick is leading a United Way for the arts, a campaign to raise $5.2 million next year from within the community and use that money to fund virtually all of the city's major cultural enterprises. In addition to the orchestra, the Orlando Opera, Southern Ballet Theatre and other groups will be the beneficiaries.
The drive to fill the pooled fund already is well under way, with $3.9 million accounted for; various local and state government sources have put in $1.6 million and 23 individuals and corporations have pledged $100,000 each. Those pledges are expected to be annual ones, assuring the continuity of the fund.
It's not that everything will be easy now -- nothing comes easy for the arts -- but the situation has never looked more promising.
For statistics fans, here's how the Florida Symphony compares with the largest orchestral ensemble in South Florida, as well as the state, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Florida. The Orlando orchestra is projecting a $3.8 million budget next season; the Philharmonic's budget is currently $4.3 million.
Significantly, all 75 musicians in the Orlando ensemble are on a full 39-week contract, with a base pay next season of $20,000. The Philharmonic, with a 37- week season, is divided into two groups -- the core orchestra of 53 players with a base pay of $19,500, the other 32 players with a base pay of about $14,000.
(The New World Symphony, considered a training orchestra, has a $3.4 million budget and pays its members $300 a week plus housing for a 26-week Miami season.)
If Saturday's program at the Carr Performing Arts Centre was any indication, the Florida Symphony can hold its own alongside the Philharmonic or the New World. Its overall sound was not particularly rich (at least heard in this far-from-ideal hall), but there was an impressive cohesion to the playing.
This particular concert was an annual showcase for members of the ensemble; no guest artists were imported. As music director Kenneth Jean told the audience: "I try to be original every year in finding one of these programs, and this year, I think I've outdone myself. It doesn't get more original than this."
And Jean, who also is associate conductor of the Chicago Symphony and principal guest conductor of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, wasn't kidding. It was the kind of program not likely to turn up in South Florida, except possibly from the New World Symphony, which doesn't necessarily have to consider the box office all the time.
For starters, there was Variaciones Concertantes, written in 1953 by the late, great Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera. This is a subtle and substantial piece, piquantly flavored with nationalistic harmonies and rhythms, and it makes considerable demands on various solo players within the orchestra.
Under Jean's clear, fluid direction, the Florida Symphony responded sensitively to the challenge. There were particularly elegant contributions from the cello, bass, clarinet and horn soloists.
Chicago-born William Kraft was on hand to introduce his 1966 Concerto for Four Percussion Soloists and Orchestra; his folksy remarks seemed to delight the audience as much as the performance. Kraft's craftsmanship is apparent throughout this tautly written work, which offers a remarkable variety of expression and not a little wit, all the while managing to avoid empty-headed display.
The symphony's percussion section relished the chance to shine, and their colleagues provided neatly dovetailed support.
Principal violist John Adams stepped into the limelight for Berlioz' Harold in Italy. If his playing was hardly the last word on technical or tonal polish, it was basically musical and expressive.
Jean shaped the score with an ear for nuance and color, and the ensemble responded with another poised, well-balanced and attentive performance. The brass proved to be a major asset, articulating with a clarity and smooth blend not heard often enough among South Florida's resident orchestras.
Incidentally, the audience deserves to be acknowledged, too. I didn't hear any chatter or candy wrappers; there were few parking-lot jumpers at the close; and the decidedly modern sounds of the program's first half did not seem to incite any fidgeting (there was even a standing ovation after the Kraft).


A Discovery Of Witches has done a wonderful job of creating a rich and vibrant world of vampires, demons and witches. The adaptation of Deborah Harkness' first novel has given audiences fascinating characters, intriguing mysteries and gorgeous gothic locations week after week. At the same time it has been a bit of a slow burn; those unfamiliar with the books, like myself, were probably expecting the conflict between the three supernatural races to escalate but the capture of Diana and her interrogation by Satu in episode six was as close as we ever got. Even so, I was expecting things to unravel as we reached the finale.
While the eighth episode did pack a lot of story into the final 45 minutes, that conflict never really came. Diana and Satu never came to blows, the latter only regaining her powers at the end. So it's rather good news that the show has been renewed for a second and third series. Otherwise all that rich world building and character development would have come to nothing.
The episode did open with a violent encounter with Juliette, having finally broken free of Gerbert's grasp. She ended a somewhat tragic figure, only sired by the Venetian vampire king to get her hooks into Matthew. The fact that he rejected her for Diana, a witch no less, must have hurt deep, so much that you understood her rage as she tore flesh from Matthew, almost killing him. Diana unleashing her powers with a bow and arrow of fire was a rather cool moment, ended the vampire for good. Perhaps I've watched too much Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but Diana having to give her blood to save Matthew almost seemed inevitable the moment they grew close. Perhaps that 'twist' and her surprisingly speedy recovery robbed the moment Matthew fed upon her of its emotional impact.
And speed really was of the essence in the finale as it seemingly rushed to the finish line without ever really going far enough. Satu faced the congregation for her actions in interrogating Diana while power plays unfolded as Gerbert turned on Matthew's brother Baldwin in an attempt to oust the de Claremonts from power. The reveal of the Knight's Templar - a secret vampire powerbase - was an intriguing development for future series, with Gerbert claiming that Baldwin was its head and that he was working against the other races. Suddenly he was facing death by beheading and the scales were about to be tipped in favour of the new shady alliance of Gerbert, Satu and Peter.
Except that Agatha was able to call vote and save Baldwin by voting in his favour - along with Domenico, who was tired of being Gerbert's lapdog. Truth be told, this could have made up an episode of its own, the Congregation and the underhanded, Machiavellian scheming providing enough entertaining material as Diana and her quest to develop her newfound powers. Within the space of five minutes, balance had been restored and Baldwin saved, making the whole act feel a little more than just set up for future events.
It was great to see the demon characters finally enter the story in a more meaningful way, Matthew's friend Hamish bringing Sophie and Nathaniel to the US. I liked that the statue was a chess piece lost to Matthew centuries earlier. It was wonderful to see so many sporadic characters under one roof - the three demons, three witches Diana, Emily and Sarah and the three vampires Matthew, Miriam and Marcus. It all felt like the show was finally progressing somewhere, setting up a conflict as Gerbert, Peter and Satu prepared to take action and then...it didn't. The chess piece was useful for the time travel spell Diana was preparing for, but there was nothing more to it than that. Instead it felt as if A Discovery of Witches was bringing these characters together just to establish ties further down the line.
And let's talk about the time travel element, which confused me. Diana practised by sending her and Matthew back 25 days to the night they danced together in the De Claremont castle in France. Except that they seemed to be reliving the moments they had already shared. It was a bit of a head scratcher - do they inhabit past selves (in which case, what happens if they travel back past their own timelines) or was the events of episode four actually shown from the perspective of Diana and Matthew's future selves?
The final scene was somewhat abrupt too. After Matthew had revealed himself to be the head of the Knight's Templar and handed that role to Marcus and Sarah and Emily had left for the protection of Ysabeau de Clermont in France, Diana completed her final preparations to travel back to Elizabethan London in search of those that could train her in her abilities. Aside from the fact that the whole momentum of the episode was so that Matthew and Diana could run away, we were denied any sense of closure as they prepared to leave and were interrupted by the untimely arrival of Gerbert, Peter and Satu and the credits rolled.
I'll say it again, I'm really glad there's plenty more A Discovery of Witches to come, because what we've had is really only been set up for future events. From a world and character building perspective, the final episode did an excellent job, leaving me intrigued for what is to come. But the ending felt like a cliffhanger to be resolved next week. There was no real pay off at this stage and added a bit of a dampener on what has otherwise been a thoroughly absorbing series.
Thankfully we're no more than a third of the way through the onscreen story and few shows have been as richly absorbing in its world building as A Discovery of Witches. I'm not sure it offered anything completely radical to the supernatural genre but there was plenty of interesting ideas at play that I'm looking forward to seeing explored further when the show returns next year.

(New Delhi, India) – Poor air quality is responsible for more than 5 million deaths a year, and with more than 55% of people living in urban areas globally, action by cities is critical to addressing the growing health crisis. Today, at the World Sustainable Development Summit 2020 in New Delhi, organized by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Bloomberg Philanthropies and Vital Strategies launched "Accelerating City Progress on Clean Air: Innovation and Action Guide," a guide to fast-tracking proven approaches and innovations. The publication provides a step-by-step approach for city governments, outlining four critical priority areas for action: Monitoring air quality; assessing emissions and sources; expanding data access and use; and engaging governments and partners to develop and implement action plans.
"Unless India urgently adopts long-term strategies to address air pollution effectively, we are doomed to repeat the associated health crisis of this past season year after year," said Dr Sarath Guttikunda, a lead contributor to the guide and head of urbanemissions.info, a leading repository of air quality information in India and the region. "This guide identifies recent data and resources that each city can use to address their challenges, both shared and unique, and make rapid progress. Poor air quality shouldn't drive us indoors, depriving us of a full life of opportunity, productivity and health. This is a solvable problem, and I urge cities to use this guide to commit to action today."
The guide draws on lessons learned from successful urban clean air initiatives including New York City, Beijing, Bangkok and Hong Kong. For example, interventions by the New York City and state governments saw a 70% reduction in sulphur dioxide levels in just five years. Best practices and progress from cities in early phases of air quality management and political commitment, such as Battambang and Accra, are also highlighted. In addition, the guide addresses the roles of cities in local action as well as regional, state and national policy and implementation.
"Cities, centers of creative governance, intellectual and civic life, are also home to growing civil society movements pressing for clean air and other environmental improvements," said Daniel Kass, Senior Vice President for Environmental Health at Vital Strategies. "The guide can help local governments respond to these demands with good science, logical planning and inclusive and transparent action. Each year, air pollution takes a huge public health toll and more children experience harm that can affect their future health and productivity. City governments can be powerful agents of change that speeds progress towards clean and healthy air for all."
"Air pollution has constant, adverse repercussions on communities around the globe, and we must act now to mitigate its effects," said Ailun Yang, head of global air pollution programs at Bloomberg Philanthropies. "By helping cities identify feasible, near-term solutions, this guide will empower governments to quickly build more sustainable, comprehensive clean air management plans at the local, national and regional level. Cities are hubs of innovation and ingenuity, and by making faster progress on clean air goals, they can lead the way in improving lives."

YeaPlayer is the PUP that uses misleading techniques to prevent removal. Use Reimage to locate malicious components and get rid of them faster than with uninstall instructions. A full system scan blocks virus reappearance and prevents traffic to malicious domains.
YeaPlayer virus refers to an ad-based computer infection  which sneaks into the computers pretending to be a legitimate video streaming application. Once the infiltration is done, the malware may immediately start executing its predetermined activities on the system. Its primary purpose is focused on exposing users to as much advertising content  as possible and generating ad revenue  out of it. These features allow experts to categorize Yea Player as an adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Having its questionable nature in mind, you should stay away from this program and, in case you are infected, remove it from your computer ASAP. Ads, Pop-ups, and redirects that are the main traits of this software will continue to grow in quantity and frequency of appearance, so the sooner you take care of YeaPlayer removal — the better. What we recommend examining your device with some trustworthy security software such as Reimage or Malwarebytes MalwarebytesCombo Cleaner. Then, you will simply have to reset your browser to roll back the changes.
You might be wondering, where did this YeaPlayer come from? Actually, like most adware, Yeah Player had a legitimate-looking official website, where users could download the application themselves. Nevertheless, yeaplayer.com seems to be down for quite some time now, meaning its direct downloads are unavailable. But did the malware stop spreading? Of course not. Adware developers have found numerous other ways to deploy the parasite on the computers, including deceptive ads, drive-by downloads  and software bundles. Quite frankly, instead of concentrating on improving the actual software, player's creators are more concerned with creating a nice facade of legitimacy and taking advantage of all the clicks that these ads generate. We could not think of a reason why anyone should keep this software on their computers. Thus, we recommend dedicating some time to remove YeaPlayer and prevent it from bouncing back to your browser again.
YeaPlayer ads can be very intrusive and cause frustration to the users whom they block from using their browsers properly.
While initially,YeaPlayer seems like a reputable and useful tool, do not get deceived by the first impressions. It is actually quite similar to another player called Magnoplayer, which is also classified as a potentially unwanted program. When you install this player, some of the adware-like applications like Searchult search, istartsurf.com as well as some of the others install together with it . Sometimes these adware are installed after the player is deployed on the target system. These applications you have not even intended to install can cause some serious problems to your system and data safety. Annoying at first, later they might become really problematic since they might help promote YeaPlayer ads, send you to some bogus websites and threaten your personal data. Therefore, while this program is not malicious in itself, it might be accompanied by other programs that potentially are. For this reason, we advise selecting some other reliable media player that would not jeopardize your data security and system stability.
YeaPlayer removal is easy compared to more malicious viruses which may block your antivirus from running system scans or obfuscate their files so that the antivirus tools would not detect them. Luckily, automatic virus elimination is not the only way to clean up the infected system. You may also make use of the tutorial provided below this article and remove YeaPlayer from your device manually. To make sure the annoying pop-ups, ads, banners and other files do not show up on your browser again, avoid visiting suspicious websites and refrain from downloading software of suspicious origins.
Here, look for YeaPlayer or any other recently installed suspicious programs.
Wait until you see Applications folder and look for YeaPlayer or any other suspicious programs on it. Now right click on every of such entries and select Move to Trash.
When in the new window, check Delete personal settings and select Reset again to complete YeaPlayer removal.
Once these steps are finished, YeaPlayer should be removed from your Microsoft Edge browser.
Here, select YeaPlayer and other questionable plugins. Click Remove to delete these entries.
Now you will see Reset Firefox to its default state message with Reset Firefox button. Click this button for several times and complete YeaPlayer removal.
Reset your Google Chrome to eliminate whatever is left of the YeaPlayer. Before the reset, make sure you remove all the toolbars, extensions and other computers that you suspect may be related to the adware.
Here, select YeaPlayer and other malicious plugins and select trash icon to delete these entries.
Click Reset to confirm this action and complete YeaPlayer removal.
Here, select Extensions and look for YeaPlayer or other suspicious entries. Click on the Uninstall button to get rid each of them.
Now you will see a detailed dialog window filled with reset options. All of those options are usually checked, but you can specify which of them you want to reset. Click the Reset button to complete YeaPlayer removal process.

Not Clay But | Jun Kaneko's Opera Costumes and Sets
Jun Kaneko, 71, doesn't know much about opera, had never previously been to an opera and, although he spent the last ten years of his life designing costumes and sets for operas, still doesn't consider himself a fan of the artform.
With this in mind, it's all the more interesting how one of the world's most famous living ceramic artists threw himself into productions of Madama Butterfly (2006), Fidelio (2008) and, most recently The Magic Flute, which wrapped up at the Kennedy Center this month. Kaneko recently announced that Butterfly, his first work in the opera world, was picked up for another showing at the San Francisco Opera for June 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and July 3, 6, and 9.
Anne Midgette of the Washington Post interviewed Kaneko on his work for Flute, which was a co-production between the San Francisco Opera, Opera Omaha and the Washington National Opera.
Kaneko moved to the United States from Japan in 1963. He studied at the Chouinard Institute of Art and studied with Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner and Jerry Rothman in California during what was to be recognized as the contemporary ceramics movement. Today, Kaneko's work is included in the collections of more than 70 museums and he's received more than 30 public art commissions in the United states.
He took on opera because he wanted a challenge, he told The Washington Post. His work with Butterfly took him 3 1/2 years, working ten hours a day. He said he applied the design principles he honed in the studio to the stage.
"Basically, everything that happens within the stage opening and on the stage is a visual statement that the designer can control. That involves movement, lighting and obviously design. The problem is, it keeps on changing. A singer moves from the center of the stage to stage left a little bit, [and] it completely changes. The lighting designer changes a little bit, everything changes. To make it [work] every second is the amazing concentration and challenge of it."
When he was prepping for Flute Kaneko said he listened to the opera several times a day, trying to empty his mind and create a visual style from the music he was hearing. During his prep stage, he avoided watching performances of the opera so his own visualizations wouldn't be influenced by someone else's. His overall goal was to create a flowing visual style that was unbroken by the performers or changes in scenes. By his third opera he felt comfortable enough to incorporate video-projection into the sets. Although Kaneko's end-result was praised by critics with words like "stunningly visual, Kaneko talks as though he's done with opera for now.
"The experience of designing in the opera really added an amazing design point of view in my visual art. Opera is definitely everything: sound, lights, space, just the whole natural world on the stage. If I'm doing a painting, a painting is a painting, a flat surface. I don't worry about the back side of the canvas. So it's a completely different thing. [The influence of opera on my studio art] will come out, but you might have to wait about 10 years to see it."

Huron Valley Schools has a program for preschool children, three to five years of age, who are experiencing difficulty communicating. The identified children have difficulty being understood and are at risk for self-esteem issues as a result of their unintelligible speech. These children are served at one elementary school but they come from throughout the district. Housing this program at one location allows children to be grouped with their peers and an age appropriate approach to be utilized.
Communication skills are a key to success in school. Listening and speaking provide the foundation for reading and writing. The goal of speech therapy for preschool children is to increase intelligibility and reduce frustration when communicating. They need to feel good about communicating so that their language development will not be inhibited by the difficulty they are having with sounds. A variety of materials and techniques are used during therapy to maximize the chances of the child internalizing these new skills. Books, games, manipulative toys, and art projects that target each of the sounds are appropriate and motivating for this age group. Parents participate in a home program in which word lists, literature, and activities involving the targeted sound are emphasized. Student progress has been excellent and parent feedback very favorable.
If parents suspect that their child is having difficulty with listening or speaking, it is advisable to see a Speech/Language Therapist for an evaluation. There is a wide range of normal in speaking accuracy during the preschool years. An evaluation would determine whether or not some extra help in this area would be beneficial prior to kindergarten. If you have questions or would like to schedule an evaluation, please call or e-mail Sharon Hengtgen, Speech/Language Therapist (248.676.8488).
The Preschool Speech/Language Program is designed primarily for children who are having articulation (sound) errors in their speech. If parents have concerns with physical, social-emotional, and/or intellectual development; they should contact The Play and Learn Program (PAL) at 248.684.8019.

Subaru revealed its first plug-in hybrid for the US market
December 1, 2022 - by Igor - Leave a Comment
Japanese company Subaru revealed its first plug-in hybrid for the US market, which is based on the Crosstrek model. Under that name there is a crossover XV, which is essentially a "lifted" version of the Impreza hatchback. The hybrid modification had the previous generation of Subaru Crosstrek, but it was a traditional hybrid.
The hybrid drive system includes the familiar combination of the company – a two-liter engine, a Lineartronic and a symmetrical four-wheel drive system, complemented by two electric motors. One of them acts as a starter but can also charge the battery from the engine. The second, with 118 hp, drives the wheels in hybrid and pure electric mode of movement. It also recharges the battery when it stops in recuperation mode.
For the hybrid, the two-liter engine is slightly deflected – the power is reduced from 152 hp to 137 hp. In addition, a new braking system has been developed that automatically distributes the braking force between the service braking mechanisms and the electric motor operating in the generator mode.
The 8.8 kWh lithium-ion battery is located under the luggage compartment floor, which reduces its volume from 588 to 450 liters. the car car drive only 27 km on electric. By the way, the Toyota Prius Prime range with the same battery capacity is 40 km.
In full electric mode, the Crosstrek Hybrid can develop up to 104 km/h. Despite the increase in weight by 258 kg, the electric add-on makes the hybrid more dynamic than the similar crossover with a clean gasoline engine – from a speed of up to 100 km/h accelerates a second faster than it.
The external differences between the hybrid and the "ordinary" model are not many, but there are. Blue rings are fitted in the headlights and metal inserts appear on the radiator grille and on the bumpers. The interior has a new leather trim in contrasting shades (gray and dark blue) with blue stitches as well as blue inserts on the dashboard and the doors. In addition, the hybrid received an electromechanical handbrake with a button while the conventional crossover still has a traditional handbrake lever.
The official premiere of the new modification will be at the Los Angeles Motor Show. The US Crosstrek Hybrid will be sold at the end of the year for 34,995 USD. The analogue crossover with a traditional 2-liter gasoline engine and CVT costs 22,795 USD. The model is being assembled at Subaru's factory in Indiana.

This is another collection of photographs from my Jaipur trip. This is all about doors and windows.
Yes, doors and windows that's what fascinated me while roaming around the town. This post is all about it.
The ornately decorated door of the Jaipur City Palace.
The window looking towards the main courtyard.
The mesmerizing peacock adorning one of the doors; representing monsoon. There were other doors presenting other seasons too, but monsoon is the one which catches everyone's attention.
Different floors, different window styles from the interiors of Hawa Mahal.
The inside looks like this for one of these windows.
Another one of the intricately carved window from the Hawa Mahal.
The impressive gate of the Jaigarh Fort with a monkey acting as a doorkeeper.
A window to guard the fort and not merely to peer down.
A window to the world……from the Jaigarh Fort.
Windows fit for a Queen!!
What lies behind these closed doors?
A work of art or a simply a window?
One for the view and other for the breez.
These one are eye catching for their co-ordination.
The detailing on one of the windows.
The giant sized Suraj Pol (Sun Gate) with massive but beautifully decorated doors.
Jaipur is famous for its shopping scene – offering everyone a bargain or more as per their taste and budget. Very rarely tourists don't venture into Jaipur's maze of various bazaars; it's such a major attraction.
So, here are few photographs taken of these famed market streets by me while (of course) shopping for one thing or another.
Very interesting streetlamps in the older part of the city. They can be linked directly with Jaipur's royal lineage.
The colourfully decorated pink gate that opens to various markets in the Old City.
The similarly styled signboards of the shops.
The shops on either side decked in pink hues.
A heritage building getting repaired, housing mainly shoes shops.
The famous Tripola gate opening into a busy intersection of three bazaar streets.
A decorative terrace of one of the buildings.
A Minaret soaring high and forming backdrop of one of the many market streets.
The busy market scene as can be seen from the Hawa Mahal.
The road leading to the modern shopping malls located on and around M.I. Road.


I made it through without too many tears! We're so proud of Ben's perseverance!
Nana and Ben.....they are very close. I'm so glad she gets to share in our lives.
My three big kids....now Anna is a senior!
and good to see and know that i am in good company with a senior graduating and all the emotions that come with it.

On March 18, 1969, American B-52s began the first of many bombing raids into Cambodia, an action for which the American Left would never forgive the military and the government of Richard Nixon. On April 17, 1975, the American military having been withdrawn from Southeast Asia, Phnom Penh fell to the Khmer Rouge, its citizens disappearing into Pol Pot's Killing Fields. For this the American Right will always blame the Left. It seems we've all got something to ashamed of in how the U.S. treated Cambodia. But largely forgotten between these infamous dates, and amid the bickering over which Americans treated the Cambodians worse, are the courageous and selfless efforts of the Flying Tigers, noncombatant flyers who airlifted tons of supplies into the besieged Cambodian capital in the weeks before it fell. Larry Partridge was one of those pilots, a volunteer. In March 1975, he flew 52 missions in operation "Ricelift" and he tells the story here.
He's reconstructed his tale from a diary he kept at the time, so it's understandably prosaic at times. And it doesn't have the usual shape of a war story, because the planes he flew--including a DC-8 named Phnom Penh Phnancy--weren't dealing death, but bringing life. But it is this unique aspect of his peaceful mission set against the wartime background, and his friendship with crewmates and comrades, like Jim Winterberg, and with locals, like a young newspaper girl named Maria, and even with a cockroach they called Hiram, that makes this an exceedingly human and humane story, all the more remarkable because that war zone has produced so few.
Larry Partridge has given us a heroic and heartwarming vision of a different side of America's generally tragic engagement with Southeast Asia. We thank him for his service and for sharing his experiences.


Have a very reliable out of front firing switchblade, that will serve you faithfully each and every time that you need to pop out its blade.
The UNDERCOVER is more sturdily built than most OTF knives.
The dagger shaped blade is well locked in place, once fired; the usual wobbling of OTF fired blade is reduced to minimum.
Slimmer handle for a smaller hand.
Average Customer Review: 4.5 of 5 Total Reviews: 3 WRITE WHAT YOU THINK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knife arrived five days after placing order. Sandpaper texture for grip is very nice.
Pop-in-pop-out feature is quick, smooth, and can be activated with one hand. Not completely DA but as close to it as you can get. Blade is locked in place nicely once extended but does wobble a bit as expected with OTF knives. All around a very solid, well built OTF knife with great quality and craftmanship.
Good size, feels nice in the hand. Quick to deploy. Looks great, keeps a nice edge.

Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa often pose problems for burn wound treatments. We developed a new kind of bandage that prevents these infections and reduces the use of antibiotics, thereby lowering the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. The bandage consists of a hydrogel that contains genetically engineered Lactococcus lactis with nutrients. The engineered strain of L. lactis detects the quorum sensing molecules of the two pathogens in the wound and subsequently produces the antimicrobial nisin as well as some other Infection-Preventing-Molecules (IPMs). These IPMs are the anti-biofilm protein Dispersin B and the quorum quenching protein AHLase. The gel is placed between two layers, a top layer to allow diffusion of gases and a bottom layer to contain the bacteria within the bandage. Hydrating the gel by breaking adjacent water pockets initiates the growth of the bacteria, thereby activating the bandage.
We reached out to the public and spread amazement and inspiration. Apart from that, we considered the ethical implications and future of our project and constructively thought about GMO regulation.

These aren't reenactors; this is one of Shirnina's projects. Olga Shirnina, Color by Klimbim
Olga Shirina, working under the online alias "Klimbim," is regarded as one of the best Photoshop colorizers of historical images. Her work is incredible, bringing vibrancy to what could be dull and lifeless images. But that hasn't stopped social media companies from clamping down and preventing the publication of her images.
History, of course, can be a touchy subject. Last month, Shirina's Facebook account was suspended for the publication of images from the 1940s featuring Nazi leaders and soldiers. This came after repeated temporary suspensions of her accounts on that website and Instagram.
"I work with real historical photos and they can't be corrected!" she is reported saying. According to her, her work has no political agenda, besides sharing her hobby.
Surprisingly, images of Soviet leaders, under whose rule millions perished, have not been flagged or triggered suspension.
Shirina, whose colorized images have appeared in Russian Life, can be seen here.

Cod Liver Oil Linked to Less Depression

14/06/2007 – Regular and long-term intake of omega-3 fatty acid-rich cod liver oil may protect people from symptoms of depression, says a large study from Norway. The study, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, followed 21,835 subjects aged between 40 and 49 and 70 and 74 years, and found that the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 29 per cent lower in regular cod liver oil users users than the rest of the population. Numerous observational studies and uncontrolled trials have reported the benefits of fish oils and omega-3. "In this large population based cross-sectional study we found that daily use of cod liver oil was negatively associated with high levels of depressive symptoms and that the prevalence of such depressive symptoms decreased with the duration of cod liver oil use," wrote lead author Maria Baroy Raeder from Haukeland University Hospital Baroy Raeder and co-workers used data from the population based cross-sectional health survey "The Hordaland Health Study '97-'99" (HUSK), and report that 8.9 per cent of subjects used cod liver oil daily. "The users of cod liver oil were significantly less likely to have depressive symptoms than non-users after adjusting for multiple possible confounding factors (29 per cent reduction)," wrote the researchers. They also report that length of regular cod liver oil supplementation was found to influence the prevalence of high levels of depressive symptoms – the longer the duration of supplementation, the lower the prevalence of symptoms of depression. The study does have several limitations, most notably the lack of dietary data that could have affected the results. In addition, socio-economic factors were not accounted for in the study, which also may affect the overall health and mental state of the subjects. The researchers, therefore, stressed that the results should be interpreted with care. "To confirm such a possible protective effect, randomized controlled trials are needed," concluded the researchers. Commenting independently on the research, Professor David Kendall from the University of Nottingham told the BBC that since fish oil appears to improve cardiovascular health, it was not surprising that healthier people may suffer less from symptoms of depression. Kendall added that fish oil could directly impact upon depression, but echoed the notes of caution by the researchers in the interpretation of the results. Omega-3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) consumed predominantly in the diet from fish, nuts and seeds. The fish oil PUFAs include Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenioc acid (DHA). EPA is proposed to function by increasing blood flow in the body. It is also suggested to affect hormones and the immune system, both of which have a direct effect on brain function. DHA, on the other hand, is involved in the membrane of ion channels in the brain, making it easier for them to change shape and transit electrical signals.

With her family by her side, Josie Caroline Stanley-Reiter of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, passed from this world on February 3, 2019, at the age of 44.
Born on December 1, 1974, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Josie's life's work was devoted to helping others. Not only did she love her own children deeply, she also was an advocate for the children whose welfare she fought for through the legal system.
In 2005, Josie married Putnam Reiter. The two had an instant connection. He was drawn to her intelligence, wit, strict attention to detail in every aspect of her life and the way they were able to work through anything with honest and open communication. Of course, because Josie was a lawyer, Putnam would tell you he never won an argument. He lovingly describes their relationship as never seeing a dull moment. She loved his kindness, the way he made her feel safe, that he allowed her to be herself, and she said they were two sides of the same coin.
As a mother, Josie was a fierce advocate for her children, whom she loved immensely. She was always building memories with them and sharing about their achievements and adventures. Though she had no prior knowledge of soccer, she learned the rule book and coached Alexander's soccer team for several years. Some of her favorite memories included special birthday parties including one for Andrew at the Museum of Natural History and a firefighter birthday party for Alexander. Getting dressed up for Halloween was one of their family's favorite times together.
Josie earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a paralegal option from Northeastern State University and then went on to receive her Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma. She worked for the Cherokee Nation and several law offices before becoming a staff attorney at the Oklahoma Indian Legal Services.
Most recently Josie worked as a juvenile court case manager for the Oklahoma County District Court. There, she was responsible for assisting the court with ensuring juvenile cases were processed through the courts in a timely and effective manner. Josie tracked cases, collected data and monitored open cases to ensure compliance with all federal and state statutory requirements and encouraged accountability and communication. She increased the flow of information to the court by acting as a liaison between all parties and attorneys.
With a deep passion for her Cherokee culture and tribal history, Josie served as a resource on Native American law for many. She was instrumental with starting the Court Improvement Project's ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) workgroup, which assisted in providing education to state court judges and court partners on the Act.
Josie advocated strongly for the creation of an ICWA bench guide for judges and lawyers to have as a quick reference tool. She was instrumental in writing and compiling the recently completed bench guide for those with questions on the court's responsibility to Native American children and their families who were involved in a child's welfare. She was a resource even to her fellow case managers.
Friends and coworkers describe Josie as dedicated and hard-working. She made sure that children in the child welfare system had presents at Christmas and recruited her coworkers to contribute as well. Josie went beyond the requirements of her job and stayed in touch with the children she fought for as they grew up.
Once Josie decided you were friends, you didn't have a choice. She wouldn't let you go. And you always knew where things stood – she called it as she saw it and with a truth others might be afraid to use.
Josie is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents and maternal grandmother. She is survived by her husband Putnam Ervin Reiter of 13 years; daughter Allison (Destiny) Cheryl Dearman of Bandera, Texas; sons Andrew Stanley Reiter and Alexander Putnam Reiter; granddaughter Riley McKenzie Stanley and grandson Parker Lane Stanley; sisters Jennifer (David) Joy Dillard of Killeen, Texas and Jamie Lynn Stanley of Owasso, Oklahoma; brother Cortney (Sarah) Leon Stanley of Bastrop, Texas; parents Delbert and Cheryl Stanley of Pipe Creek, Texas; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of life to honor Josie will be held on February 16, 2019, from 1-4 p.m. at Southern Hills Baptist Church located at 8601 S. Pennsylvania in Oklahoma City. Donations are preferred in lieu of flowers.

Malaysia never ruled out 'murder-suicide plot' by MH370 pilot, says former PM Najib
FILE PHOTO: Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak confirms debris found on Reunion Island is from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, early August 6, 2015. REUTERS/Olivia Harris reuters_tickers
This content was published on February 19, 2020 - 12:54 February 19, 2020 - 12:54
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia has never ruled out the possibility that missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could have been downed by a suicidal pilot, the country's former prime minister Najib Razak said on Wednesday.
Najib, who was premier when MH370 vanished with 239 people on board nearly six years ago, was responding to remarks by former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott that Malaysian leaders had considered from the outset that flight captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah may have committed mass murder.
"My very clear understanding from the very top levels of the Malaysian government is that from very, very early on here, they thought it was a murder-suicide by the pilot," Abbott said in a clip from a Sky News documentary on the tragedy airing Wednesday.
Najib told online news portal Free Malaysia Today that Malaysian officials had considered such a scenario during their investigation but had chosen not to make their views public.
"It would have been deemed unfair and legally irresponsible since the black boxes and cockpit voice recorders had not been found and hence, there was no conclusive proof whether the pilot was solely or jointly responsible," Najib was quoted as saying.
"Again I must stress that this possible scenario was never ruled out during the search effort and investigations, where no effort was spared."
A spokesman for Najib confirmed his remarks.
Malaysia's transport ministry declined to comment. Authorities had previously said there was nothing suspicious in the captain's background, training or mental health, but did not rule out the possibility that the aircraft had been deliberately taken off course.
Najib said there were several reasons for authorities to suspect Zaharie's involvement, including his ownership of a home flight simulator and findings showing that MH370's transponders were switched off shortly after the plane left Malaysian airspace.
Flight MH370 became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries when it disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
Malaysia, China, and Australia, called off a two-year, A$200 million ($130 million) underwater search in the southern Indian Ocean in January 2017 after finding no trace of the aircraft.
A second three-month search, led by U.S. firm Ocean Infinity, ended similarly in May 2018.
Najib lost a general election that month. He is now facing dozens of corruption charges over alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar scandal at a state fund in which he has plead not guilty.

U.S. appeals court denies Apple bid for rehearing in VirnetX patent case
on: February 10, 2020 In: Technology
(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Monday denied a request by Apple Inc (AAPL.O) that it reconsider a decision upholding a finding Apple iPhones infringed VirnetX Holding Corp patents relating to secure communications technology.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit declined to reconsider a split decision it issued on Nov. 22 in the long-running litigation.
In the November ruling, a three-judge panel of the court voided a jury's calculation that Apple should pay $503 million for infringing VirnetX patents.
But in a partial victory for VirnetX, the Federal Circuit left in place a Texas jury's finding that some versions of the iPhone infringed two VirnetX patents, setting the stage for another trial.
Apple had urged all of the judges sitting on the court to reconsider that part of the three-judge panel's decision.
