YouTube is rolling out a new way to go between videos on the iOS app.
Announced in a blog post, this feature will allow users of the iPhone app to simply swipe left to go back to a previous video, and right to advance on to the next one.
Previously, you had to scroll down and tap the next video in the suggested list under the video player. Now, you can swipe on the video player when a video is in pause or playing to get to another one.
Swipe to the next video: swiping your finger to the left (from right to left on the video player) takes you to the next suggested video, or the next video in the playlist you're watching.
Swipe to the previous video: swiping your finger to the right (from left to right on the video player) takes you to the previous video you watched, or the previous video in the playlist you're watching.
This feature is rolling out this week to iOS users only. It may also be key to note that this only works on the iPhone 6S and newer iPhones, and not the iPad app yet.
I first discovered this feature and explored it on my YouTube channel not long ago last year. Although not seen much before, there's been reports of this new "swipe" feature being in testing since August. Android users will be getting this soon.
Let us know your thoughts on this nice navigation feature!

These days, the beach picture has become the go-to tactic of vacationing Instagrammers who continue to wish to induce envy among their followers long after they've returned from vacation. (Chrissy Teigen of all people is spearheading the fight against the post-vacation vacation 'Gram.) So it follows that the genre has pooled into a literal and metaphorical flex: torsos angled just so to the camera, yachts docked in the distance, an exotic geotag. But Massimo Vitali, Slim Aarons, Joe Szabo, and Martin Parr—four acclaimed photographers who have strong opinions on the beach pic—are here to show us what the beach really looks like through their eyes. For some, like Vitali, who shoots his famous seaside pictures with a large-format camera from a seagull's-eye view, see the assembled, unmoving masses as symptoms of a calcified society and an ill leisure industry. Others, like, Szabo, are adept at capturing the blissful oblivion of beachgoers—including to his camera. (He also spent decades turning his lens up, at the lifeguards of Long Island's Jones Beach.) As for Parr, the beach looks to him like an uneasy mix of peacocks, the uncaring, and the exceedingly body-aware. And for Aarons, who survived WWII as an Army photographer, sometimes the good life is just that—as he once famously said of his postwar oeuvre, "I've concentrated on photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Nothing wrong with that, either.

Cruises are wonderful opportunities to take a vacation and get away, but like any other large event involving many people, small hiccups may arise at certain points. These are to be expected, and being prepared for these kinds of small inconveniences is one great way to ensure you have a fun trip.
At Cruise Lady, our staff is dedicated to minimizing even the smallest concerns when it comes to your plans for our LDS vacations. Just in case of any such small problems, however, we always want to ensure our cruise passengers are prepared. This two-part blog will go over a few of the common minor issues that may take place on a cruise, plus how you can easily and simply resolve them by taking the right approach.
Wrong luggage delivered: It's possible for tags to be mixed up, which may result in someone else's luggage being brought to your room. If this happens to you, simply bring these to the guest services area of the ship and wait for someone else to do the same with yours.
Luggage not received at all: Firstly, we recommend patience here – large cruises can cause luggage delivery to take a while in some cases. In other cases, though, a security check or some kind of mistake may have caused the bag to be held. If you've waited for a reasonable period of time with no word, especially if other cabins have all received their luggage, go to guest services and ask.
There are some situations where individual cruisers may be owed onboard credit based on previous cruises. If this is the case for you, we recommend printing out some kind of documentation of this credit that specifically lays out how much you are owed. This is a preemptive strategy for avoiding incidents where you believe you're owed certain funds but records do not indicate the same thing. If you receive an onboard credit during one of our cruises, on the other hand, make sure it is properly posted before the cruise ends and speak with guest services if it is not.
Most cruises utilize what are called shipboard cards, which not only help with getting on and off the ship but are also often involved in purchases on the ship. You'll usually receive this card during your check-in, but there will be several times where you may need to present it.
Treat this card as if it were a credit card in your wallet – secure it carefully, and if by some chance it does become lost, address this issue immediately. Go to guest services the moment you notice it gone and inform them, allowing them to cancel the card so others can't make purchases with it. They'll be able to issue you a new card as well.
For more on how to respond to certain minor cruise issues, or to learn about any of our LDS cruises, speak to the staff at Cruise Lady today.

It's LeviOsa, Not LevioSA: The Science Of Levitating Mud On Mars

Paper: Mud flow levitation on Mars: Insights from laboratory simulations
Authors: Petr Brož et al.,
The Mariner spacecraft's first images of Mars in the 1960s and 70s showed large volcanoes and flow features, most likely lava or mud. These features were largely interpreted to be lava flows because they look similar to those seen on Earth. However, a 2020 study by Brož et al., shows that mud flows may be more prevalent on Mars than first hypothesized.

Imagine navigating the Beaufort Sea to the North Pole, crossing icy and treacherous waters through the untamed North, all to chase a metal that is so rare that you have a better chance of finding 5 grains of sand in an Olympic swimming pool*. This is exactly what Bundy et al. accomplished in their work identifying cobalt amounts in the Arctic Ocean and how these amounts vary based on ocean depth, distance from land, and over a time period of 6 years.

New instrument maps and preserves frozen habitats on Earth- and potentially icy worlds
Featured Image: Iceberg in North Star Bay, Greenland by Jeremy Harbeck – NASA, Public Domain
Paper: Subsurface In Situ Detection of Microbes and Diverse
Organic Matter Hotspots in the Greenland Ice Sheet
Authors: Michael J. Malaska, Rohit Bhartia, Kenneth S. Manatt, John C. Priscu, William J. Abbey, Boleslaw Mellerowicz, Joseph Palmowski, Gale L. Paulsen, Kris Zacny, Evan J. Eshelman, and Juliana D'Andrilli
Like the rings of a tree, core samples extracted from glacial ice preserve a unique record of past events. But instead of recording seasonal growth, the ancient ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland have preserved the conditions of long gone climates and ecosystems. Some sheets have continuously accumulated so much snowfall over the past series of millennia that in some places the ice can reach depths that are miles deep. Analyzing this immense glacial record can inform us about not just the global patterns of climate change, but also the evolution of microbial life on Earth, and maybe even the icy worlds of our Solar System.

Where's the plastic gone?

Paper: The global biological microplastic particle sink
Authors: K. Kvale, A. E. F. Prowe, C.-T. Chien, A. Landolvi & A. Oschlies
Scientists estimate that about 4% of the plastic waste generated globally ends up in the ocean, much of it in the form of microplastics. These tiny plastics, smaller than the width of a pencil, are a major pollution problem: because of their small size, they are extremely difficult to remove and can be transferred up the food chain to species that humans eat. Furthermore, harmful chemicals have been shown to adsorb onto microplastics, so consumption of microplastics may have indirect health impacts. While scientists have put together a "plastic budget" for the ocean by estimating inputs of plastic to the ocean and fragmentation rates of larger plastics into microplastics, models based on observations of the amount of plastic waste in the ocean suggest that there is less plastic in the surface ocean than expected based on these budgets. The authors of this study used a model to test two possible explanations for this 'missing' plastic, zooplankton ingestion and sinking to the sea floor with marine particles, and find that these biological pathways can account for 100% of the observed "missing" surface microplastic, even in simulations where these processes are modeled as being inefficient.

Ancient ocean temperatures outline a puzzling period in Earth's climate history

Authors: Charlotte L. O'Brien, Matthew Huber, Ellen Thomas, Mark Pagani, James R. Super, Leanne E. Elder, Pincelli M. Hull
We know that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere strongly affects climate –and temperature – on Earth. As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, so does average global temperature; this pattern is clear from direct historical measurements and ice core records going back hundreds of thousands of years. Nevertheless, it's important to understand how this relationship operated in the past (for example, during times when there was less ice in the cold polar regions of the globe). A new study suggests that, millions of years in the past, the simple relationship between carbon dioxide and temperatures may not have been so clearcut.

Andrew A. January 24, 2020 June 25, 2022 2 Comments on Sega Genesis Mini review – the new king of retro consoles
Can you write a Sega Genesis Mini review without falling into a nostalgia trap? We will see as I attempt to do just that in this long-awaited post.
The question that persists with nostalgia is "Will it be as good the second time around?" If that is the basis from which miniature retro consoles should be judged, then the Sega Genesis Mini is one of the best currently on the market – if not the best. Those are big words – especially considering that Nintendo has two epic offerings in the NES and SNES Mini consoles – but Sega pulled out no stops when it came to releasing the SGM. Not only do you get a ton of classic games, but they are nearly perfect in every way that matters to most gamers.
Of course, all of this is delivered in a form factor that mimics the original design, just in miniature form. Many reviews start off with how authentic the console looks and feels. Honestly, if I started the review with a discussion of that, it would not be a positive, because this should be a given. A retro console should use high-quality materials and be as close to the actual release as possible. You get that here.
(Affiliate Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links. This means that – at no additional cost to you – if you click through and make a purchase, I may earn a commission. For more info, please check my affiliate disclosure page.)
Everything as it should be – nostalgia is served
What a beauty!!!
The controller feels exactly like the Genesis' original peripheral and everything has a nice retro look and feel. The box art is even era appropriate, which just shows that Sega did their homework.
The menu system that the Genesis Mini uses is both intuitive and relatively free of visual clutter.
It gives you a myriad of options for organizing and viewing the playable library and even regional options that change the emulated games in slight ways (think Japanese text if Japan is selected as the region).
One thing that reviewers rarely consider is whether or not these consoles would be relevant to a gamer not coming into the situation with a bunch of memories.
That is always a mixed bag and even this retro gaming console does not provide a definitive answer in this area. What I can say with some certainty is that it is an excellent representation of what the Sega Genesis was and its best games.
There are a few that are missing but, as a whole, this collection is what carries the system. Whereas Nintendo's offerings always felt like something was lacking (do not get me wrong – Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country on the SNES Mini were great, but still…there are so many games not on that system), the Sega Genesis Mini is overflowing with games.
Some of them are not my cup of tea. For example, the version of Tetris on this system is a curiosity at best. Tetris is an amazing game so this title's mediocrity is noteworthy. All of that said, we get 42 games. You read that correctly: 42 amazing Genesis titles for you to explore and play. As far as value for your dollar goes, that is hard to beat.
The Neo Geo offerings come close, but those games are not Street Fighter, Streets of Rage and Sonic the Hedgehog. The sheer value proposition that the SGM's collection poses is what underscores Sega's commitment to a product that is not only for the fans but for the gaming consumer.
They know these games are old but they want as many people as possible to enjoy this system and that shows. I cannot help but wish that more games had shown up on the SNES and NES Classic mini consoles, but that is spilt milk at this point.
Running through the library – between memories and amazement
A pretty functional, aesthetically pleasing interface that bleeds nostalgia from every pore…
As far as reviewing the library goes, I am going to focus on the North American version of the console. I will briefly list some of the variant titles you can find on the other editions at the end of this section, but discussion of the games will stick to the NA console release.
You get Alex the Kidd, which is to be expected, as well as the arcade hit Altered Beast and the somewhat obscure for many gamers Alisia Dragoon.
Altered Beast should be more than familiar to any fan of Sega's old arcade titles and this version is considered the definitive console port of that classic.
Alisia Dragoon is interesting and, along with Beyond Oasis and Castlevania: Bloodlines, might be some of the sleeper titles on this roster. Contra: Hard Corps also joins that list. Insofar as pure Sega classics go, we get the Tetris-like puzzler Columns as well as the platforming masterpiece Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.
The puzzle games on this system do not really work for me, but there is Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine that helps Columns and the aforementioned Tetris hold that category down. What I did like were the Sega titles specifically like Altered Beast and Castle of Illusion. That is some pure old school Sega goodness right there.
Later games like Ecco the Dolphin and Eternal Champions show that the Japanese video game colossus had not lost its magic when it came to dreaming up new IP during the heated 16-bit console wars, and I cannot help but think about what modern versions of these games would look like. Eternal Champions, in particular, is really esoteric and really hard.
I do not recommend it for people who do not like fighting games – especially bizarre and obscure 1990s arcade fighters – but there is a quirky charm about this game that makes it stand out among the wasteland of Mortal Kombat clones released around this time.
Other titles in this vein include Vectorman and ToeJam & Earl. If you ever wondered what people were talking about when they talked about Sega's distinctive style and approach to the industry, these titles offer glimpses of past genius that is undeniable.
As for other publishers' games, there is also another version of Ghouls n Ghosts for those masochists out there that need more of that.
Speaking of Sega arcade classics, Golden Axe is such a great game in terms of atmosphere and gameplay mechanics. Another title, Streets of Rage, amplifies everything introduced in this game to the next level. You would think that it had come out for the arcades but it was actually a purely Genesis affair. It was meant to show off the console's stuff, and, wow, did it ever.
Thankfully, its sequel took everything up a notch as well. From addictive gameplay and pumping music, Streets of Rage 2 is legendary among the many Olympic titles on this list. Why the first game is not on the console is a mystery but at least we get the second title.
About Sonic and variant titles – some bizarre choices
All the 42 games included on the North American version
Now, for the title everyone wants to know about, what Sonic games do you get?
Just Sonic 1 and 2 (Sonic The Hedgehog Spinball is a pinball video game).
That seems somewhat bizarre, right? Especially when you consider that Sega released not one but four mainline Sonic the Hedgehog games. It is like the absence of Streets of Rage – who knows what is going on.
This only becomes really annoying when you see games like Virtua Fighter 2 taking up oxygen on this dream team that you start to wonder if filler is just a fact of life. To round out the games on the NA list you get World of Illusion, Space Harrier, and Shining Force, among other titles.
Games not present on the North American version include:
Assault Suit Leynos
Dyna Brothers 2
Game no Kanzume Otokuyou
Langrisser II
Lord Monarch
Madō Monogatari I
MUSHA
OutRun 2019
Party Quiz Mega Q
Puyo Puyo 2
Puzzle & Action: Tant-R
Rent a Hero
Shining Force II
Slap Fight MD
Snow Bros
Sword of Vermilion
The Hybrid Front
Yu Yu Hakusho Makyō Tōitsusen
Of these titles, MUSHA is a loss for gaming fanatics, as it is a truly epic game. Oh, and despite the name, Outrun 2019 came out in 1993. How's that for feeling old? Well, this is a retro console, after all. But easily one of the best I have ever tested and played. It is also one of those that I can recommend to both nostalgia freaks and someone that just wants a solid gaming console without breaking the bank.
These are easily some of the best games ever made and they definitely hearken back to an era when everyone was still trying to figure out what was what. You also get the distinct feeling of a kind of newfound prosperity in these games that titles in the 1980s did not have.
Final thoughts – a giant thumbs up
Look who's here! No Sega console would be worthy of the name without the king of fighting games… Yeah it's my favorite SGM title!
The crash of 1983 was a distant memory by the time the Genesis and the Super Nintendo started printing money for their respective companies. That optimism and spirit spills through in the games of this era and the Sega Genesis Mini captures it so perfectly it is hard to describe.
I am not the only person to say this is the best one out there. But, for me, it is just so surprising how good it is. I do not come into this with a bunch of biases and overwhelming love for Sega but now I get it. I totally get it. And you should too, retro folks.
Speaking of which, do you own a Sega Genesis Mini? What do you think of the console? Is it one of your favorites? What are some games you would have put on the North American release? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Till next retro review!

Great review! I've been considering getting the Sega Genesis mini but I wasn't to sure about it. I'm old enough to remember playing Sonic but that's about it. Sega was kind of on its way out when I was growing up but still I think if I had the extra cash I'd go for it. Even if it is just for sonic lol. Like you mentioned nostalgia is a powerful thing!
Andrew A. Post author January 28, 2020 at 11:00 am
Hello Sam and welcome to my retro gaming blog, I am glad you appreciated my review.
I perfectly understand, not every classic consoles has lived up to expectations, unfortunately. Though the Genesis Mini is a real gem and it is safe to say it set the standard for any future console remakes.
Thanks again for stopping by, it would be great to have you as a regular here!


Perfect for sports fans, our Liverpool F.C. soccer-themed wedding cake topper adds a touch of humor to any ceremony, as the bride drags her stunned groom away from his favorite team. It'll be the talk of your reception and a fun keepsake for years to come!

While we had a lockout in major league baseball, the National Football League was improving its product, especially because of new television contracts, by adding two teams in the playoffs. The N.F.L., with 28 teams, will have 12 teams in the playoffs while almost every team of Major League Baseball's 26 teams, does not participate in the playoffs.
There is absolutely no reason for labor problems in major league baseball; the most serious problem is not free agency, arbitration or escalating salaries; it is rather a very inadequate playoff system that discourages many teams from being contending teams resulting in a lot of frustration for sports fans and great loss of potential revenue for owners and players. The present playoff system in major league baseball is far from perfect; many teams that finish in second place are, often, stronger than teams that finish in first place in another division.
If the N.F.L. can offer an improved playoff system, major league baseball can, surely, do the same in 1990. For example, this season we could have had two leagues of 13 teams with the Toronto Blue Jays in the National League, an interlocking schedule and, at least, four teams from each league in the playoffs.

The 19-year-old started the four-year course in September last year at the world-renowned Parsons School of Design.
He told pals months ago he wanted to leave – but decided to stick it out to the end of term.

Sources say his Spice Girl mum is delighted to have her boy back – telling friends she "absolutely hated" being separated from him.
A source said: "It sounds as if he was truly homesick and was feeling lonely out there.
"He adores his family, in the end it was the lure to come back to them all that swung it – and the prospect of a terrific internship.
"Victoria is absolutely delighted at the news and couldn't contain herself when it was all coming to plan – to have Brooklyn back under the same roof is a dream come true for her."
The source said Victoria, 44, was "thrilled" at Brooklyn's return, adding: "She was telling pals she couldn't believe how much she missed him and hated to be separated from him."

Brooklyn was spotted at last weekend's Wireless Festival in London with new girlfriend Lexy Panterra, 29, a dancer and YouTube star.
The teenager had set his sights on the prestigious school, based in New York's Greenwich Village, after releasing his book of photos, What I See, last year.
Slammed as a "vanity project", one critic said the book had "terrible photos and worse captions".
The Beckhams are due to fly to Miami this week so ex-England ace David, 43, can focus on his Miami MLS soccer project.
That will give Brooklyn time for some more focusing of his own – catching up with siblings Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13 and Harper, seven.

The Stealth Privatization of Pennsylvania's Bridges
Ellen Dannin,
(Photo: mikeyexists / Flickr)
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's administration has decided to sign a 40-year contract to privatize the state's crumbling bridges, but there has been little to no media coverage of the deal and what it will mean for two generations of Pennsylvanians.
At midnight of January 20, 2014, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced that the administration of Gov. Tom Corbett finally decided to take action on the state's crumbling bridges. The action it is taking is to sign a 40-year contract to privatize Pennsylvania bridges.
The word privatization does not appear in any of the announcements. Instead, PennDOT refers to the project as a public-private partnership. However, whether called a PPP, P3, public-private partnership, contracting out or privatization, the result is the same. Infrastructure privatization – that is privatization of roads, bridges, parking garages, parking meters, airports and the like – involves signing a contract, generally for a term of 30 to 99 years.
In the case of Pennsylvania's bridges, the private contractor takes on responsibility for designing, constructing, financing and operating bridges for up to 40 years. [PennDOT, McCalls] Experience with infrastructure privatization shows what we can expect as the bridge privatization proceeds.
Pennsylvania will hire a privatization industry insider as a consultant to advise the state. International firms such as Mayer Brown, Morgan Stanley and Macquarie frequently are hired to act as the consultant and, in other cases, will sit on the other side of the table as the private contractor. Consultants often are paid a "success fee" if a privatization agreement is reached. The success fee will motivate the adviser to recommend privatizing.
The public tends to grumble about paying tolls, but that misses bigger issues, such as the contract's adverse-action rights. Adverse-action rights give the contractor the right to be paid compensation whenever an action lowers the amount of money the private contractor expects to receive.
Chicagoans already have expensive – and extensive – experience with adverse-action compensation as a result of privatizing the city's parking meters and garages. Chicago has been in litigation over whether it must pay adverse-action compensation because the city built a new parking garage near a privatized parking garage. Chicago has been liable for adverse-action compensation when it has had to put its parking meters out of service – as, for example, when it has had to close a block to do repairs on streets or water and other underground systems.
Privatization has created such a complex system of contractor rights that Chicago's inspector general has created a detailed document to explain the rights and obligations that have emerged from the privatization of Chicago's parking meter and to control the costs privatization creates.
There is no question that the November PennDOT announcement should have been big news months ago, because the state finally announced it was taking action on its dangerous bridges and because it was planning to privatize Pennsylvania's bridges for 40 years. These are certainly issues Pennsylvanians care about, yet there has been almost no media coverage concerning the decision to privatize the state's bridges.
The decision whether to privatize Pennsylvania's bridges for 40 years rather than repair and rebuild them deserves wide and thoughtful discussion instead of silence. Here are some questions that Pennsylvanians and their representatives need to ask and to press for answers to:
1. What is the real cost of privatization? Will the deal really cost less than the traditional way of building and repairing bridges – that is, hiring private firms as consultants, engineers and construction crews to do the repair work while the people of Pennsylvania retain control and ownership of the bridges?
2. Once the government and private contractor sign their 40-year deal, the people of Pennsylvania will have to live under a 40-year monopoly contract that will cost the state money any time it needs to make a change. What will the privatization contract say about adverse action and other contractor rights?
3. Forty years is two generations, and there likely will be many unanticipated situations the contract does not cover. For example, how will developments in transportation technology affect the bridges? Will Pennsylvanians have to pay adverse-action compensation because the contract terms don't cover new technology or other changes? If PennDOT starts making changes outside the contract, how will it affect the parties' costs and responsibilities? Any adjustments once the contract is signed will become particularly expensive, because locking the state into such a long contract takes away the state's bargaining power.
4. Right-to-know rights currently give the public the right to ask for public records. How will the public's right to know be affected once bridge-related activities become confidential, private business practices?

Home Latest News Government eyes new economic stimulus for tourism industry
Government eyes new economic stimulus for tourism industry
Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham does not want borders closed a day longer than necessary.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is considering a second economic stimulus package for small businesses as the coronavirus pandemic threatens the tourism, hospitality and services sectors.
Morrison, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann will sit down to draw up extra economic measures to support those industries most at risk from the sharp downturns in overseas and domestic visitors.
The rescue package is expected to be finalised this week. The proposal was first brought up with state and territory leaders on Sunday and comes after warnings of an "exponential" rise in the number of coronavirus infections.
Australia could see between 40,000 and 80,000 cases a day by August, with estimates as high as 300,000 cases a day by July if the disease is allowed to spread "unmitigated", according to government modelling.
Tourism and Trade Minister Simon Birmingham said the tourism and aviation industries were among those being hit the hardest at present.
"There is no doubt that job losses are occurring already and, sadly, will continue to occur," Birmingham said.
Birmingham met with tourism operators in Cairns on Monday, saying the government's economic measures wouldn't be limited to the stimulus package.
"We will work from now through until the federal budget to make sure that not only is that $17.6 billion spent and invested wisely to save as many businesses and jobs as possible, but also that we look at what else is going to be necessary in the future to see everyone through what is going to be a long and challenging period," he said.
The state governments have also pledged their own stimulus packages, with New South Wales, currently the state worst affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, announcing a $2.3 billion stimulus package.
While $700 million will be spent on increasing the capacity of intensive care units throughout the state, $1.6 billion is being pledged to help keep people in jobs, and to support small business.
"This package works hand-in-hand with the recent moves by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the federal government," Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
In an effort to help small businesses, $450 million will be allocated to waive payroll tax for the next three months, or until the end of the financial year. This will be available for all businesses with payrolls of up to $10 million.
The NSW government is also scrapping fees that apply to businesses in the hospitality sector such as bars, cafes, restaurants, as well as tradespeople.
The Western Australian government has announced its own $609 million economic stimulus package, in a bid to support households and small businesses as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
Of that $114 million has been pledged to support small businesses in WA with a focus on payroll tax breaks.
Any WA small business that pays payroll tax will receive a one-off grant of $17,500. Businesses with a payroll of between $1 million and $4 million will be eligible for the grant.
Businesses with payroll of less than $1 million will become exempt from payroll tax, from July 1.
Western Australian businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak may also be eligible to defer their payroll tax payments until July 21.

Unfinished Business is a 1941 American romantic comedy film produced and directed by Gregory La Cava and starring Irene Dunne, Robert Montgomery and Preston Foster. The screenplay concerns a young woman who quickly falls in love with a playboy, but when he shows no interest in making her his wife, marries his brother.
On a train to New York City, small-town singer Nancy Andrews meets a sophisticated playboy, Steve Duncan, and quickly falls head over heels in love. Steve barely gives her a second look once they reach their destination.
Rejected during an audition for the opera, Nancy has to settle for a job as a telephone operator, doing singing telegrams. Nightclub impresario Billy Ross likes her voice and offers her a job. At the club, attorney Tommy Duncan, brother of Steve, gets drunk. When a heartbroken Nancy learns that Steve is about to marry another woman, Tommy gets her tipsy and elopes to a South Carolina justice of the peace with her to be married.
Next day, Tommy finds to his surprise that he is in love with Nancy, but it is not mutual. After they return to New York and throw a party, Nancy kisses Steve, to the consternation of Steve's new wife Sheila as well as Tommy's old girlfriend Clarisse.
A disappointed Tommy enlists in the Army and leaves for a year. Upon returning, he punches his brother and prepares to grant Nancy her divorce. That's when he learns that he and Nancy are parents of a baby boy, and that she is overjoyed to know that Tommy still loves her.

E-mail: gribok.marina@gmail.com
The article presents an analysis of the possibilities of visualizing data on emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources using interactive infographics. We used data posted on the official website of Rosprirodnadzor on various characteristics of emissions from the level of municipalities to Russia as a whole. Examples of visualization of similar data are presented in the reports of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Atlas of Russia and the Environmental Atlas of Russia. We have reviewed software products for creating interactive infographics, including geo-infographics. Among them, we chose the online service Datawrapper, where a template for a map of Russia in its modern borders is available to users. Methodological recommendations for displaying emission data using interactive infographics for different levels of information generalization are presented. Examples of interactive infographics have also been created: a map of polluting emissions by municipalities and bar charts of the dynamics of some specific pollutants emissions.
The article contains links to online versions of the resulting interactive graphics. It is concluded that interactive infographics are a technological, convenient and accessible tool for a wide range of users to visualize data on emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Visualization of this type of data is necessary for the field of environmental monitoring and management, in the field of environmental education and enlightenment activities. The integration of geoinformation technologies and technologies for creating interactive infographics is a promising direction for further research.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, and a vibrant city full of culture, history, and beautiful landscapes. Edinburgh has been an important city for centuries, with a focus on education and art. Today, it is home to 500,000 people and a number of cultural events including the Edinburgh Fringe and Edinburgh Festival. The city has a relaxed but lively vibe, with something new and exciting happening every week. Edinburgh is the perfect gateway city into Scotland and Scottish culture. Here are some of the best things to do in this beautiful, calm, and active city.
Edinburgh Castle is a key component of the city's skyline. The castle sits atop a tall rock, making it visible from many parts of the city. The site has been used since the 2nd century as its position is a perfect defensive location. For centuries, the castle has been seen as the 'key to the city' – controlling the castle meant controlling Edinburgh. The castle has housed important figures in Scottish history, including Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Pay a visit to Edinburgh Castle to gain an insight into historic life in the castle. On display are the crown jewels of Scotland, as well as the Stone of Destiny which has been used in the coronation of British monarchs for centuries. Be sure to stick around for the firing of the One O'Clock Gun, which has been fired every day except Sundays since 1861.
One of the first places you will visit after arriving in Edinburgh is the historic Princes Street. This main thoroughfare has been the heart of the city since 1770, and is now one of Edinburgh's most popular retail hubs. Visit Princes Street for a spot of shopping – you'll find all the big high street stores along this road. Princes Street is also a wonderful location for history, with a number of key landmarks nearby. Here you will find gorgeous views of Edinburgh Castle, a number of galleries, and the Scott Monument, making it ideal for photography. After shopping or snapping, take a break in the Princes Street Gardens, which feature a beautiful floral clock, a war memorial, and lovely green lawns that are perfect for a picnic.
Holyrood Palace is the Scottish residence of the British monarchy, located near Edinburgh Castle. The palace was built in 1678 and has housed generations of kings and queens. Today, much of the historic palace has been preserved in order to showcase royal life in the 17th century. Explore Mary Queen of Scots' chambers which includes a room where her secretary was murdered by her husband in 1566. For some art and a view into regal responsibilities, stop by the State Apartments which feature fine art and are still used today by the British Royal Family. Finish your trip with a rest at the palace café to enjoy a classic afternoon tea in an extravagant setting.
Opened in 1835, Camera Obscura is Edinburgh's oldest tourist attraction. The gallery focusses on visual illusions, featuring a number of experiences and hands-on activities to explore and enjoy. On site, you will find a mirror maze, an Ames room which will appear to shrink around you, and a vortex tunnel which will provoke a sense of imbalance even though you are completely stable! Climb to the roof to see the city from an excellent vantage point, with free telescopes available for close-up views. Camera Obscura provides a fun and family-friendly way to spend a day, tricking your brain and experiencing all sorts of unique sensations.
For outdoors enthusiasts, Arthur's Seat is a must-visit. Arthur's Seat is a dormant volcano and one of the highest points in Edinburgh. Hike to the top for breath-taking views of the city and a touch of wild nature in the heart of Edinburgh. Here you will also find a hill fort, dating from around 600 A.D. although there are remains of older structures nearby dating from 2 A.D. In mythology, Arthur's Seat is considered to be a possible location for Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur. Arthur's Seat is a dramatic and historical place, and the perfect starting point to explore the nearby hills around Holyrood Park.
Mary King's Close is part of Edinburgh's Old Town, which consisted of a number of winding and narrow alleyways called 'closes'. Today, Mary King's Close is a warren of underground passages and streets, having partially collapsed centuries ago. Book a tour with The Real Mary King's Close to explore the fascinating history of this once-bustling Edinburgh street. Learn about life in the closes, as well as the rumours of hauntings and gristly murders that have sprouted since the collapse of the close. The close has been well-preserved so that its history is visible in every inch of every street. Tour guides are even costumed to provide an immersive and interesting experience. This is a great way to learn about life in old Edinburgh.
St Giles' Cathedral is the principal church in Edinburgh and a key feature of the city's skyline. It was built in the 14th century and showcases a distinctive gothic-style architecture that is commonly found in Edinburgh. The cathedral is home to a number of memorials for Scottish people of note, as well as beautiful stained glass windows. The church holds original bells dating from the 15th century, as well as the King's Pillar. The Pillar bears the coats of arms and medieval shields of ancient British kings. Be sure to stop by the Thistle Chapel which commemorates the Order of the Thistle, a group of 17th century knights who protected Scotland. The chapel features stunning architecture and beautiful archways. St Giles' Cathedral is a focal point of the city and a wonderful place to learn about Edinburgh's history and ancient culture.
The Scottish National Gallery is Scotland's national art gallery, making it a must-see for visitors to Edinburgh. The building was opened in 1859 and features beautiful neoclassical architecture, the perfect setting for the rich collections of fine art housed within. Located in the heart of the city, the National Gallery features work by Van Dyck, Gainsborough and Rubens. One of the highlights is the collection of pieces by Scottish artists, featuring unforgettable landscapes, portraits and scenes of everyday life by artists such as Peter Graham, Sir David Wilkie and Sir Henry Raeburn. Settle down for a snack and a tea at the Scottish Café and Restaurant which features gorgeous views across the Princes Street Gardens. An ideal place to go for a slice of Scottish culture and art.
The Scott Monument is located by Princes Street and a popular landmark in Edinburgh. Built with a distinctive gothic-style architecture, the Scott Monument was constructed in 1844 as a dedication to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. It is the world's biggest monument to a writer and reaches 61 metres high. The tower is adorned with 68 statues featuring a number of prominent Scottish writers, poets and people of interest including Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Burns and Lord Byron. Climb the steps to the top of the monument to find stunning views of the city and the adjacent Princes Street Gardens.
Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden was created in 1670 to aid in the scientific study of plants for medicinal purposes. Today, the garden is used for conservation and study, as well as being a popular tourist attraction. The current building was obtained in the early 19th century, including the Temperate Palm House which was built in 1858. The palm house is the tallest in Britain even today. Around 275,000 plants can be found in the garden today, spread across 70 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. The diversity of the plants on show means that each new area of the garden is a wonder to explore. On-site is Inverleith House, an 18th century mansion that is now used as an art gallery. The gallery features a constant rotation of contemporary art with a focus on Scottish artists. Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden is a delightful place to spend a sunny day amongst flowers, plants and culture.
Greyfriars Kirk has been standing since 1620 in the heart of Edinburgh. It has been a popular place of worship for centuries and an important part of the city's history. Book a tour to learn about the history of the church, including its importance for the Scottish Covenanters and its use as a barracks during the 17th century invasion of Scotland by Cromwell. Today, you can still attend a Sunday service, or visit the Kirk when a concert is on, as the church is also used as a venue for music and performance. With a diverse and ever-changing rota of events, be sure to catch some culture in this unique setting. Don't forget to stop by the Greyfriars Museum and Shop to see an original copy of the National Covenant signed in 1638.
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is housed in an iconic gothic-style building in the centre of the city. Built in 1889 as the world's very first purpose-built portrait gallery, the building features wide open galleries and small intimate spaces. The gallery holds an expansive collection of portraits showcasing Scottish history through its people. See portraits of Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Burns and more, and works by artists such as Sir Henry Raeburn, Allan Ramsay and William Brodie. With many temporary exhibits exploring important facets of Scottish culture, history and people, there is always something new on at the National Portrait Gallery. Finish your trip with a break in the café for delicious food, with gluten or dairy-free options, in a beautiful and inspiring setting.
Gladstone's Land is located in Edinburgh's Old Town. It is a 17th-century tenement house, consisting of six storeys that tower above the street. The building has been well-preserved and restored to offer visitors an insight into life in Edinburgh during the 1600s. Explore the narrow staircases and historical rooms where people once lived and worked. Gladstone's Land has been decorated with period pieces to showcase a number of different lifestyles: from the merchant, to the wealthy resident, to the cramped conditions of the poor. This is a fascinating and immersive slice of life in the Old Town, and an ideal way to learn more about Scottish culture. Be sure to check listings for the gallery, located on the second floor and frequently used by local artists to showcase their work in a gorgeous, eye-catching location.
Located within Edinburgh Castle, the National War Museum explores Scotland's history of war. The collections here showcase military artefacts and wartime materials, such as medals, uniforms, banners and posters. The museum examines Scotland's place in war from the Highland-Lowland battles in the 17th and 18th centuries, all the way up to Scotland's modern-day military presence. Learn about the experience of war from the perspective of Scottish soldiers and see how recruitment material has changed over the years. The museum also holds regular events and exciting temporary exhibitions to offer an in-depth insight into the experience and effects of war throughout history, all from a unique Scottish point of view.
Holyrood Abbey is a ruined abbey built in 1128. The abbey was later used partially as a royal residence, and as a location for the Scottish Parliament from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The abbey has seen a large chunk of Scottish history, politics and culture, including the end of the First War of Scottish Independence, and the birth and coronation of kings. The remains still show beautiful and impressive original architecture which have inspired numerous painters and writers. Book a guided tour to learn about the history of the abbey and to catch stunning views of the nearby Arthur's Seat.
Craigmillar Castle is one of Scotland's most beautiful and well-preserved castles, and a must-visit. The castle has existed since the 15th century and was inhabited by royals including Mary Queen of Scots. At the entrance to the castle, a pair of yew trees stand in the same place they have been for centuries, having once supplied wood for weapons. Explore the castle's stunning stone architecture, grand halls and living chambers. Climb the castle tower for spectacular views across Edinburgh, as well as Queen Mary's Room, where Mary Queen of Scots once lived. Craigmillar Castle is an ideal place to learn about Scottish history and culture, and to spend a day in gorgeous surroundings.
Standing tall in the bustling city centre, the Georgian House is a slice of 18th century Edinburgh. Built in 1796, the Georgian House is a fine example of the fashionable buildings that made up Edinburgh's New Town. The New Town was built to provide wealthier residents of the city with more comfortable living conditions than the Old Town could offer. The House has been decorated impeccably with period pieces to provide a glimpse into the life of its elite Edinburgh residents. On show are pieces of fine art, stunning silverware, and gorgeous furniture. Explore on your own or as part of a special costumed tour, where guides enact a typical day in the life of a noble family.
The Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh was the first of its kind in the world, and continues to showcase toys and games from the 18th century to the modern day. The museum provides an interesting look into the way that childhood has been defined over the generations, and the differences in toy trends over time. This is a great attraction for both children and adults, exploring the history of 'fun' as well as provoking nostalgia in the grown-ups! Stop by the shop and pick up some toys or retro merchandise to take home with you.
In the city centre, seek out the Heart of Midlothian for a uniquely Scottish piece of history. The Heart of Midlothian is set in the pavement on the Royal Mile, constructed from coloured granite blocks that form the shape of a heart and cross. This landmark records the position of the 15th century 'heart' of the town, the Old Tolbooth. This building no longer exists but was once used to run the city and also acted as prison and execution site. This formed the origin of a local custom involving spitting on the Heart. Originally this act was done to show contempt for the prison that once stood on this site; today it is believed to bring good luck. The Heart of Midlothian is easily-missed if you're not paying attention – but the locals spitting as they pass by should give away its location!
The Museum of Edinburgh is the single best location to learn about the history of Edinburgh through the ages. At the museum, you can learn about the city and its formation, as well as its people and trade. Witness the National Covenant, original city plans and lots of Edinburgh decorative art. The museum features a number of immersive exhibitions to educate visitors about the formation and progression of the city in an entertaining and engaging way. Don't forget to visit the 'hidden' courtyard behind the museum which features centuries-old engravings and stonework.
Experience some exotic wildlife in the 82-acre Edinburgh Zoo. With beautiful views of the city, Edinburgh Zoo makes a wonderful and entertaining day out for all the family. The zoo was the first in the world to house penguins, and is currently the only zoo in Britain with koalas and giant pandas. Watch adorable animals in their enclosures, or book a keeper experience to get up close and personal, and to learn what it's like to be a zookeeper. There are daily talks on offer and a number of events each week including photography workshops, feeding shows, and film screenings. Edinburgh Zoo is ideal for animal-lovers and a slice of exotic nature in historic Edinburgh.
Travel underground and experience the dark underbelly of the city in the Edinburgh Vaults. The vaults are a number of chambers formed from the arches of the South Bridge, built in 1788. Originally, the vaults were used by tradesmen and illegitimate figures. Over time, the vaults became more popular with the poor and the criminal and were excavated in the 1990s, providing a wealth of interesting archaeological and historical artefacts. Today, you can book a guided tour to explore and learn about the vaults. If you're feeling brave, take a ghost tour instead! The vaults are rumoured to be haunted, having once been used by murderers and torturers. This is a fascinating – and spooky – look into a vital part of Edinburgh's history.
The National Monument of Scotland lies on Calton Hill, overlooking the city. The monument was designed to commemorate Scottish soldiers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, but was never completed. The monument has stood since 1829 and is a popular tourist attraction. Locals have mixed feelings about the monument, as it remains unfinished. Nonetheless, the monument showcases stunning architecture and breath-taking views out across the city and surrounding landscape. Hike to the top of the hill for gorgeous vistas of Arthur's Seat, Salisbury Crags and Holyrood Park.
Usher Hall is Edinburgh's premier concert venue and a must-visit for fans of entertainment and culture. The hall was built in 1914 and features beautiful architecture, including a curved exterior decorated with panels of famous figures such as Sir Walter Scott and Mozart. The hall has historically been used for a variety of events, including concerts, political events, and sporting events. Usher Hall is particularly popular for classical musical performances, and is praised across Europe for its high-quality acoustics. Visit Usher Hall to attend one of its many concerts, and take in some modern culture in historic surroundings.
Dean Village is one of Edinburgh's hidden treasures, located just outside of the city and besides the picturesque Water of Leith. Historically, Dean Village was a key player in Edinburgh's milling industry, and you can still see signs of this heritage today. Explore the village to find millstones and stone advertisements for bakeries. Visit Well Court, a 19th century house that has been carefully restored to accurately represent its original appearance. Nearby is St Bernards Well, used in the past to draw water from the adjacent river. This water was believed to be very good for health and drew tourists from all over the country. The well also features beautiful architecture, including a statue of Greek goddess Hygeia. Finally, be sure to cross Dean Bridge, an impressive bridge that helps to connect the city to the village. Dean Village is a unique and well-preserved location, perfect for experiencing Scottish history first-hand.

Box Tops seeks out the "unclipped"
Gaps in funding continue to force schools to make tough decisions about prioritizing supplies. To help make ends meet, Parent/Teacher Associations (PTAs) and booster clubs organize fundraisers for students, who sell everything from cookie dough to gift wrap.
For more than two decades, one program has been helping to bridge this gap in the U.S. by turning trash into cash. Since 1996 more than 70,000 K-8 schools have earned more than $840 million through the Box Tops for Education program.
Yes, you read that right. $840 million. Who knew that 10 cents per Box Top could reach that level of funding for schools?
You can see videos of the program's impact at Behlau Elementary, The Bright School, and Benjamin Franklin Elementary, among others, here.
Yet, millions of dollars' worth of Box Tops go "unclipped" every year. That's like throwing away money your local school can use to buy library books, art supplies, laptops and more.
This week, school supporters are taking to the streets (their neighborhoods, that is) to do something about it. Kicking off today, the first National Box Tops for Education Week will encourage communities around the U.S. to collect as many Box Tops as possible through clipping drives to help earn much-needed funds for local schools.
It's simple. Adult volunteers will collect Box Tops from neighbors and friends.
Box Tops are found on packages of everything from granola bars to cereal to trash bags and more – so practically every household in America can make a difference.
"There are millions of dollars in potential school funds sitting on store shelves just waiting to be clipped, but a staggering number of Box Tops go unclipped each year," says Melissa Wildermuth, who oversees the Box Tops for Education program at General Mills. "Through this inaugural National Box Tops for Education Week, we're reminding parents and community members just how easy it is to make a meaningful and positive impact on their local schools."
To spread the word, the Box Tops team enlisted HGTV star (and avid Box Top-clipper) Genevieve Gorder to help.
Just last week, Gorder participated in a test market kick-off clipping drive in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She walked door-to-door in her childhood neighborhood with other volunteers.
The team collected almost as many Box Tops in just one day as the school collected all last year. That's thousands of Box Tops, just sitting in pantries and recycling bins, waiting to be turned into cash for the neighborhood's schools.
Gorder also participated in interviews with People, The Daily Buzz, Entertainment Tonight Online and more. And she connected with her fans about the Box Tops campaign during a Facebook Live event.
To take part, simply clip Box Tops off the package of participating products, and turn them into a participating school.
Head to BoxTops4Education.com to learn more and see what schools in your area participate.

Psychologist Daniel Rouse-Stanton Banned for Three Years For Sex with Patient
A "manipulative" NSW psychologist with expertise in treating sex offenders has been banned from practising for at least three years after having a sexual encounter with one of his patients and giving another a massage.
Daniel Rouse-Stanton's registration as a psychologist lapsed in 2017, but the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal on Wednesday formally made orders that it would have had it cancelled on the basis of professional misconduct.
The 42-year-old was found to have 'sexted' a patient who was seeing him over depression and domestic abuse before going to her house for a prearranged sexual encounter that he scheduled in his lunch break in March 2016.
The incident occurred 18 months after a complaint was made over Rouse-Stanton's behaviour towards a different patient — who he also exchanged sexual text and Facebook messages with — after he gave her an unplanned massage during a psychology session that left her partially unclad with her breasts exposed.
The tribunal found Rouse-Stanton's actions were "improper and unethical". It further found his attempt to persuade the second patient from making a complaint by "exaggerating" some of his mental health issues was "grossly manipulative conduct".
"Both women were patients under the practitioner's care and both were plainly vulnerable for a number of reasons that were disclosed to him by virtue of the therapeutic relationship," it said in its findings.
"Moreover we found that the practitioner's almost exclusive focus on himself coupled with his inability to articulate any real concern for the patients … betrayed a very concerning lack of insight or remorse and an almost narcissistic lack of empathy."
Rouse-Stanton, who previously practised south of Sydney, can't apply for a review of his registration cancellation for three years.

Acute appendicitis with normal total leukocyte count.
The objective of this study was to ascertain whether acute appendicitis can occur in patients with a normal leukocyte count. This study was prospective and descriptive. In this study, patients of all ages coming to this hospital with pain in the right iliac fossa with duration less than seven days were included. All patients were clinically assessed for signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis and haemoglobin (Hb) %, total leukocyte count (TLC) count, Urine D/R and ultrasound of abdomen was observed. Patients having increase total leukocyte count, diabetic patients, patients with lump in the right lower quadrant and patients with hepatitis B and C reactive were excluded from this study. A diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made and patients were prepared for appendicectomy in emergency and appendicetomies done, per-operative findings were recorded and specimen sent for histopathology. This study included fifty patients of acute appendicitis with normal leukocyte count in which 56% of patients were male and 44% of patients were female. The minimum age of the patient was five years and maximum was 67 years with a mean age 20.32 years. Majority of patients had pain less than three days of duration while only 8% had pain duration more than four days. Ultrasound showed 26% of patients having normal appendix while 74% had inflamed appendix. A total of 6% of patients had no signs of inflammation on naked eye appearance per operatively, 12% had minimal signs of inflammation while 82% of patients had moderate to severe signs of inflammation. Histopathology showed 2% of patient had non-inflammatory appendix, 10% had minimal inflammation, and 72% had moderate inflammation while 16% had severe inflammation. Patients having signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis may have a normal total leukocyte count. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is mainly clinical not laboratory based. So minimum investigations should be done in cases of acute appendicitis where clear signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis are present, in order to avoid delay in surgery and save costs involved.
Acute appendicitis; total leukocyte count; perforation; appendicular lump; appendicectomy.
