At Freedom Dental Care, we are honored to have you as a part of our family and we thought it would be nice for you to know a bit more about us. The other day we sat down with Laurie and asked her a few questions.
I was born & raised in Maryland. I come from a big family & have a twin brother. I started out as a Surgical Tech for an oral surgery practice 10 yrs ago, and transitioned into a General Dentistry practice where I worked as a Dental Assistant while going to hygiene school. I was excited to begin my career, at Freedom Dental Care, as a Dental Hygienist right out of hygiene school in July 2016.
I love to spend time with my husband & family; our family lives all over the country, so taking time to travel and visit with them is important to me. I also love: live music, exercise, baking, reading, anything outdoors, and animals.
I saw a patient while in hygiene school and they followed me to Freedom Dental Care once I started. I felt that I helped to instill trust in a patient that once feared going to the dentist.
Absolutely everything! I'm a clean freak, so my job is fun! I love meeting new people and hearing about their families and what interests them. I also work for an incredible group of people, so being part of this work family is a great feeling.


Pascale Benoit, Senior White Rhino KeeperWe are excited to announce that our White Rhino calf has been named Macheo (pronounced Ma-che-o) meaning 'sunrise' in Swahili. Macheo has been named by a long-term supporter of the Zoo who selected the name after learning the calf was born in the early hours of the morning.We are really ecstatic about the calf's name and think it is very fitting. Not only for the fact that he was born at sunrise but also we hope that his birth signals the dawn of a new era for the Zoo's White Rhino herd and also rhinos in the wild.Macheo has been going from strength to strength over the past few weeks, he is really growing in confidence and size as he now weighs approx 150kgs. Macheo is displaying all the right behaviours for a rhino calf and is very inquisitive and a little mischievous.A great time to come and see Macheo is during the school holidays as there will be a special free keeper talk at 2:15pm daily where visitors can learn more about this adorable new addition to the herd and the plight of rhino species in the wild.

Film Review: Old
Spoilers ahead!
Now that's a fun poster for Old.
M. Night Shyamalan after three decades in film (as he pointed out in one of those pre-screening, "Welcome back to the movies after COVID," bits) still gets me into the theater. Even if his ideas don't always land, as has happened with 2008's The Happening, I still appreciate a filmmaker willing to try new things and write original screenplays. That should always be celebrated.
(Correction I learned after posting this: This screenplay is actually based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, so it's not an original screenplay.)
The premise of his latest film is that a group of people, including a family central to the story, go to a resort, which then leads them to a private beach from which they can't escape. And all the while, they are rapidly aging.
It's actually a pretty creepy film. Imagine your six-year-old son and 11-year-daughter are suddenly five years older. That rapid aging was freaking me out and unsettling me.
Adding to the peculiarity of their predicament, the people on the beach realize that each one of them has some sort of malady going on. For instance, Prisca (played by Vicky Krieps) has a tumor, although it's supposed to be benign. Patricia (played by Nikki Amuka-Bird) has epilepsy. And Charles (played by Rufus Sewell) has schizophrenia.
The first creepy scene is when Trent (played by Nolan River as a six-year-old and Luca Rodriguez as an 11-year-old), the son of Guy (played by Gael Bernal) and Prisca, is standing near the rocks in the water when a dead body floats to him. Eek.
There was some fun special effects throughout this film and the aging process, like with the parents, was really well done.
From that point on, everyone starts dropping like flies, which is a funnier pun than I initially realized since houseflies only live 24 hours and at the rate of aging on the island, the parents will only make it 24 hours. Boom!
First, Charles' mother dies because she was already old as is and it didn't take long for her to age into death.
Then their dog dies. Dog years, man.
The man who was with the initial dead woman, Mid-Sized Sedan (played by Aaron Pierre), a rapper, is then killed by Charles in a schizophrenic rage of sorts. Mid-Sized Sedan had a blood clotting disorder, for the record.
Trent and Kara (Charles' daughter) have sex and Kara gets pregnant and within 20 minutes, has the baby and the baby instantly dies because it's not acclimated to the rapid aging process. That was rough to see.
Jarin (played by Ken Leung), Patricia's husband, then stupidly thinks, "Hey, if we can't walk back through the rocks because they won't let us leave and we black out, what if I try to swim around them?" Unfortunately, he blacks out and dies presumably drowning.
Kara dies trying to climb the rocks.
Patricia dies of a seizure before attempting to also swim.
And Kara's mother, Chrystal (played by Abbey Lee), who has a calcium deficiency, dies in a gruesome way where her bones get all contorted, rapidly aged and then stuck in the position, until she dies.
When you've seen some crap.
It comes down to the original family, Guy, Prisca, Trent and the daughter, Maddox (played by Alexa Swinton as the 11-year-old version and Thomasin McKenzie as the 16-year-old version).
Drama is interwoven with the main family. Primarily, that Prisca had the tumor and didn't tell the children about it, and that she was also cheating on Guy and was going to separate from him. Rapidly aging though, Guy and Prisca renew their love to each other and essentially die of old age, as their bodies deteriorate.
Adult Trent (played by Emun Elliot) and adult Maddox (played by Embeth Davidtz) realize that Trent's little friend, who is the son of the resort owner who sent them to the retched aging island, gave him a code to crack. Trent cracks it and it tells him that his father doesn't like the coral. That leads them to believe that they can swim through the coral and the coral will protect them. They do, presumably!
While we await their fate, we learn that Shyamalan in his usual cameo as the bus driver, was observing the tourists the entire time as part of an experiment.
It then turns out that there's an entire operation behind this, wherein they are using these people with maladies as test subjects to cure a variety of diseases and illnesses. For example, they gave Patricia some sort of medicine for her epilepsy and she didn't have an episode for 16 years, as reflected by the rapid aging on the island.
One employee tells the resort owner that Charles killing Mid-Sized Sedan is why they should separate those mentally ill from those with physical illnesses.
In other words, we have the perfect villains: Those who think they are operating in the greater good. That yeah, it's unfortunate we have to go through numerous test subjects (the current ones are something like the 73rd "clinical trial"), but it's for the greater good.
They claim to have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, with the upside of millions more.
Unfortunately for them, Trent and Maddox do survive their passage through the coral and spill the beans. Earlier at the resort, Trent, who is apparently great with remembering names, was asking everyone their names and occupations. One man tells him he's a cop. Trent, now a 50-year-old man, goes to the cop and shows him a book a prior "test subject" kept of names and addressed of all those who died. The cop checks them, realizes they've been reported missing and knows something is amiss.
The whole operation is shut down by the police.
Overall, I thought this was a fun and creepy Shyamalan film with a heck of a hook as a premise. And the metaphor is obvious enough, but still thought-provoking: What would we do differently or say differently if our window of time was compressed? And how sad is it, Maddox remarks, that adults lose their kid-like wonder Sure, she was just an 11-year-old the previous day and is now nearly 50, but she makes a good point! I, as I sit here writing this in my Toy Story t-shirt, never try to lose my sense of kid-like wonder for the world.
Anyhow, if you're a Shyamalan person, you're already going to the theater. If you haven't seen a Shyamalan movie since 2002's Signs, perhaps give this a whirl.
I'm glad they survived, even if they are older. I'm always bummed when the baddies win.

NBCUniversal decided to stop business relationship with Donald Trump
In fact, NBC was also forced to proceed this way after a petition was created online at change.org, with more than 200,000 signatures, asking for respecting "ethics, principles and values", against Donald Trump's affirmations. He textually said during this month's presidential announcement speech: "The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." He however said later, with another occasion, a little different thing: "I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they're bad. They're really bad." Not enough to convince NBC and many people to like it again.

HomeFacebook announces $200m for businesses owned by black people
Facebook announces $200m for businesses owned by black people
Facebook today announced that it will commit $200m towards businesses owned by black people, the latest in a string of tech giants to announce such initiatives.
In a post, chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg revealed the plan, saying that the firm needed to take action.
She wrote; "The past few weeks have compelled us to confront the reality of violence and injustice which members of the Black community face on a daily basis.
"We have shared words of support for our friends, colleagues, and communities. We need to take action as well."
In recent days, Youtube, Google, and Apple have all committed to similar initiatives, promising equity support worth $100m, $175m, and $100m respectively.
Facebook will give $100m annually to suppliers such as marketing and construction firms owned by black people, as well as $75m in grants for businesses that serve the black community.
The final $25m will be given to black content creators, Sandberg said.
She also said that the firm would commit to increasing representation of people from BAME backgrounds in its leadership positions by 30 per cent over the next five years.
According to the firm's 2019 diversity report, only 3.8 per cent of Facebook's employees are black, a figure that falls to 3.1 percent for leadership positions.
Facebook's contribution comes after the firm came under fire from its own employees for not taking down a post from US president Donald Trump concerning Black Lives Matters protestors, which read if "When the looting starts, the shooting starts".
Trump's post, which referred to protests against the killing of George Floyd in police custody last month, was flagged by Twitter for "glorifying violence".
Facebook has come under heavy criticism for the decision to leave the post up. Boss Mark Zuckerberg argued:
"We should enable as much expression as possible unless it will cause an imminent risk of specific harms or dangers spelled out in clear policies."
The online publishing platform Medium announced Thursday that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick would be joining its board of directors.
Medium also said in a statement they will partner with Kaepernick and his publishing company, Kaepernick Publishing, to add more content focused on race and civil rights issues.
Kaepernick said he is "excited" to "continue to elevate Black voices in the news and publishing industry," in a statement about the new partnership.
"I also look forward to creating new opportunities and avenues for Black writers and creators with my new role as a Board member," he added.
Medium said the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback will interview activists, athletes, and other leaders.
Colin Kaepernick looks on during his NFL workout held at Charles R Drew high school, Nov. 16, 2019, in Riverdale, Georgia.

"We've been in talks with Colin for some time, and we are honored to be electing him to join our board," Medium CEO Ev Williams said in a statement.
"Colin's voice and actions have led the discussion on racial justice, and the world is finally catching up to him. He's an incisive, independent thinker, whose integrity as an activist and athlete has inspired so many," Williams added. "We've enjoyed collaborating with Colin so far, and look forward to tapping into his perspective, as a partner and leader."
Kaepernick ignited a firestorm when he began kneeling before games in 2016 to protest police brutality. The outrage rose all the way to the White House, where he was condemned by the president. The NFL apologized for its handling of the issue last week in the wake of nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.
The announcement comes amid rising calls for the need for diversity in corporate boardrooms, especially in the tech sector.
Earlier this month, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian resigned from his company's board and asked to be replaced by a black candidate. Reddit listened, selecting Michael Seibel for the role.
"It is long overdue to do the right thing. I'm doing this for me, for my family, and for my country," Ohanian wrote on Twitter, announcing his resignation. "I'm saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks: 'What did you do?'"
In the same Twitter post, he announced a $1 million donation to Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp initiative.
Kaepernick, who hasn't played in the NFL for three seasons, remains unsigned.

Following Campus-Wide Vote, SA Changes Constitution, Absorbs CUAC
March 11, 2012 Kate Koenig Campus News, News, Vol. 90, Spring 2012 0
Following a campus-wide vote, recieving overwhelming approval, the Student Association (SA) is set to absorb the College Union Activities Council (CUAC) for the next academic year. CUAC will disband beginning this fall, giving birth to the Student Association Activities Council (SAAC), a standing committee of the SA.
"It was something the executive board and myself have talked about in the past, as a way of increasing SA's presence on campus while strengthening what CUAC is and can be," said Director of Campus Activities and CUAC Advisor Bill Harcleroad.
Under the new structure of the SAAC, the autonomy of CUAC will be preserved, allowing them to run operations almost entirely as they have in the past, with one major stipulation: the committee's president, SA's Vice President of Activites, will now be elected by the larger student body. "There's a chance for some of the voices that haven't felt connected to CUAC to be able to get out there and run," said Harcleroad.
"Now the students have an opportunity to elect, essentially what was the president of CUAC," said Student Association President, Evan Englander.
The decision to restructure CUAC under the umbrella of the SA wasn't initially met with open arms, however. "I first brought it to the CUAC e-board to get their stamp of approval, and they were hesitant at first, because CUAC is something they love," said Englander.
After dialogue was opened between CUAC members and Englander, mainly focused on mandating that the head of SAAC attend a college events planning conference and two-thirds of all SA meetings, an agreement was finally met. "The big thing for CUAC was making sure that the [Vice President of Activities] was not someone who knows nothing about programming," said Harcleroad. "They wanted it to be someone who was either currently on the activities council or at least someone who is willing to attend a programming conference with us."
The changes to the SA constitution, spelling out these provisions, was brought to Senate's meeting last week, and was met with unanimous approval. "We basically took the CUAC constitution, condensed it slightly, and made it part of the SA constitution," said Englander.
As Director of Campus Activities, Harcleroad is optimistic, looking forward to an activities committee that will more effectively work for the student body. "In many ways it just streamlines what the activities council and CUAC does, making it easier and better for everybody," said Harcleroad.

The KABT annual spring fieldtrip is simply an opportunity to learn and interact with fellow biology teachers. I have learned more biology than you can imagine from simply being around and listening to others! I cannot overemphasize the importance of learning with others. You build up your expertise, you build up your fellow biology teachers expertise and that is the kind of experience that will impact your teaching. The field trip is NOT a test of what you do and don't know in the outdoors, rather it is an opportunity to absorb the knowledge of those that can identify (with maybe 90% accuracy?). I am the first to admit that I cannot name, identify, or give an natural history of quite few flora and fauna, but I attend these trips to learn (and also make fun of some of the older guys). Although as most of you know, its not necessarily what you learn but how you learn that builds your lifelong memories. I simply wish every biology teacher could experience just one of these special trips. You talk about school, kids, technology, and everything else, but you really get to absorb the thoughts and opinions of your peers. I know that I will always value the thoughts and opinions of my fellow biology teachers. This past Saturday, June 6, 2009, we met at the Wetlands Education building at Cheyenne Bottoms. After a great tour of the education center that included various displays, a teaching classroom, and an auditorium we carpooled over to the lookout tower in Cheyenne Bottoms. After eating we took a driving tour that included numerous stops along the way. Although I do not have a comprehensive list of species we encountered I do know that I saw birds much closer than I have in the past, but beyond that I had an opportunity to commune with nature with some other nature lovers. By the way, it appears that there is an inverse relationship between the quality of a biology teachers' joke and their years of experience (personal observation during this trip). I hope all KABTers and any biology teachers that wish to will try to attend at lease one of these awe inspiring journeys around Kansas!
I am at a complete loss on the comment about joke quality. Otherwise I "ditto" all Bill's comments.
BTW, Charlotte and I saw 54 species of birds for the weekend. That included Cheyenne Bottoms and Kanopolis.
We also followed Terry's suggestion and had dinner and a beer at Mo's in Beaver. Excellent microbrew and Mo is now growing his own hops. Not really biology, but socialization is part of any field experience.

Q: Desplegar modal a partir de selección y subforms buenas...
Planteo la siguiente uhm cuestión (?
Tengo un formulario, este formulario tiene un apartado de lista donde puedo escoger del 1 al 5, lo que quisiera es saber cómo desplegar un modal a partir de la opción elegida en la que puedo ingresar datos, es decir, escojo el número 2, entonces me despliega un modal, pero este modal tiene dos veces un subformulario...
Sí se escogió el número 1, se despliega un modal que dentro de sí mismo contiene (el subformulario) 3 cajas de texto y un botón.
Escojo la número 2, entonces aparece el modal con 6 cajas de texto y un botón... ¿Me explico?
Un ejemplo sería en un servidor local, se crea la bd, la tabla y cuando se decide ingresar registros te lleva a un espacio donde aparecen cajas de texto según las columnas de la tabla y por debajo hay una opción donde podemos cambiar de 2 a 5 o 10 registros... y se actualiza la página desplegando más espacios para los registros según esa opción...

P. S. Sí tienen una idea mejor sobre el planteamiento del formulario, también me ayuda...

A: Lo que tendrías que hacer es crear un formulario dinámico desde js
Te dejo un ejemplo sencillo usando fuentes de w3schools y usando jquery

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#myBtn").click(function() {
    var numRegs = $("#numRegs").val();
    var modal = $("#myModal");

    // SE CREA EL FORMULARIO
    modal.find(".modal-body").append('<form class="form-group" action="" method="POST">');
    // SE AÑADE LOS ELEMENTOS DEL FORMULARIO SEGÚN EL VALOR DEL SELECT
    for (var i = 1; i <= numRegs; i++) {
      modal.find(".modal-body").append('
Registro ' + i + '
')
      modal.find(".modal-body").append('<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" name="name" id="name"/>');
      modal.find(".modal-body").append('<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="description" id="description"    name="description" class="address"/>');
      modal.find(".modal-body").append('<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="tags" id="tags" name="tags"/>');

    }
    // BOTÓN PARA EL FORMULARIO
    modal.find(".modal-body").append('
<input type="submit" class="form-control" id="savebutton" value="Save" />');
    // FIN DEL FORM
    modal.find(".modal-body").append("</form>");
    modal.modal()
  });

  $("#closeModal").click(function() {
    // AL CERRAR LA MODAL LIMPIA EL CONTENIDO DEL FORMULARIO, ELIMINANDOLO...
    $("#myModal").modal("hide");
    $("#myModal").find(".modal-body").html("");
  });
});
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

seleccione el número de registros

    <select class="form-control" id="numRegs">
      <option value=1> 1</option>
      <option value=2> 2</option>
      <option value=3> 3</option>
      <option value=4> 4</option>
      <option value=5> 5</option>
    </select>

    <button type="button" id="myBtn" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="closeModal">Close</button>

Reading, isolation and Amina Cain's Indelicacy
April 21, 2020 By Admin Metbleu
Brennan McCracken
A little over a week ago, a friend and I made a last-minute decision to temporarily pack up our lives, rent a car and drive to Nova Scotia to wait out the developing coronavirus pandemic with our loved ones. I quickly dropped off some perishable food to a friend, left my plants with my neighbour, and packed up my essentials—mostly clothing and books—with barely a second to stop and consider what I was taking.
When we made the decision to leave, I was in the middle of reading Amina Cain's debut novel Indelicacy, recently published by new Penguin Random House Canada imprint Strange Light. Indelicacy tells the story of Vitória, a young woman who works as a cleaner at a museum and hopes for a time she can spend her days writing about artworks instead of dusting them. It's a spare, beautiful story about becoming a writer and the various ways we construct identity through work and life. It's also an incredibly insular book about the specific loneliness of reading and writing—even when Vitória spends time with others, Cain writes them at a distance, as if her reader is also stuck inside her protagonist's mind.
Before picking up Indelicacy I'd just finished reading Ling Ma's Severance—a haunting novel about life in the aftermath of a world-altering pandemic (sound familiar?)—and was looking for a book that felt a bit further removed from the world around me. But even in Indelicacy, I couldn't help but be reminded of my own circumstances and of the rapidly-changing world around me. As a writer myself, there were many moments I found myself relating to Vitória's feelings of creative frustration and being misunderstood. And beyond her character, the book reminded me of the specific ways reading can bring us closer to the world: I felt how you can be at once enveloped in the world an author creates for you and completely present with your own thoughts.
A friend of mine has been thinking a lot about his own experience as a reader, and recently proposed that there might be two general experiences of reading: reading to bring yourself closer to the world, as an exercise of understanding, or reading to escape the world, as retreat. I've been thinking a lot about his question (and not just because of the uncanny parallels between my own reading choices and increasing unease in the world around us). I suggested to him that those two experiences might not be entirely distinct. Even in turning away from the world towards books, I thought, we discover something about ourselves, our feelings and our motivations; even that experience of escape bears the trace of what it attempts to leave behind.
I finished Indelicacy in a flurry my first day back in Nova Scotia. Near the end of the novel, Vitória reflects on her journey and slips between thinking about emergence in artworks and her own emergence as a person. Cain's writing in this passage is particularly striking— as I soaked up every word, I found myself thinking about a similar slippage in my experience between reading and reader, between book and life:
"In every painting, someone or something emerges. I emerged here into the country. I emerged walking along these dull streets, close to my own mind and what I know of life. Close to my blind spots, my limitations as a person, the limits of what I can perceive, at least for now. I am deeply flawed.
The important thing is that I not harden, that I keep something open in myself, that I remember what it's like to emerge at fourteen, twenty, and on and on In some ways unchanged, but in other ways so different" (132).
When I left Montreal I didn't give myself time to think seriously about the books I would bring with me—I quickly scanned my apartment and took along whatever felt automatic and comforting, a mix of new releases and older favourites. As I look at those books now, stacked on a mostly-empty desk in my childhood bedroom, they strike me as an unlikely but fitting collection for our current time: each one speaks to similar ideas about reading, presence, and the various ways in which stories bring us closer to the world.
Here, then, are my #bookclubbluemet recommendations: five books to accompany you through the storm of the pandemic.
● Amina Cain – Indelicacy
● Alexander Chee – How To Write an Autobiographical Novel

Deepa Mattoo will be conducting research around the relationships between race, gender and immigration status.
"The goal of this project is to create a network of individuals who would work with me in reviewing the intersectionality, but to also create solid tools for service providers to provide services and assistance to the women who are going through these experiences of violence and going through the experiences of precarious immigration," she says.
She adds that there's a need for "sensitivity toward the service delivery models for women" when it comes to legal assistance and to look at "frameworks and understand the gaps" that exist in Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
According to Mattoo, many racialized women who have precarious immigration status, meaning their status as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident is uncertain, don't feel safe accessing the justice system because they fear deportation.
Toward the latter portion of the fellowship, in the spring, Mattoo will offer workshops to share the results and tools of the study with law and social work students, settlement workers, lawyers and key agencies in Ontario that assist with non-status immigrants.


You can get to China and Hong Kong for as little as 60,000 miles. So save your cash for a nice new bespoke suit from the world famous tailors of Hong Kong. Or head straight to Beijing and start your journey in the Middle Kingdom with a trip to the Great Wall. With the right rewards credit card, you can earn enough with just the sign-up bonus.
To figure out the cost of award flights and the best programs to use, I looked at a variety of routes between major hubs in China and the U.S. The results may be slightly different depending on your itinerary. For more details and to design a customized strategy, check out RewardExpert.
To calculate the amount of time it will take, we assumed a $1,500-a-month spend on the credit card and that each dollar spent earns only earn 1 point or mile. Many cards offer extra points or miles for certain purchases, which will cut down the time.
Of course these three cards and frequent flyer programs are only part of the story. There are a lot of other options for earning the miles you'll need to get to China. Some of them are below.
Below is a list of the frequent flyer programs offering the cheapest award flights. I've included the estimated cost, which may vary based on your exact routing.
All of these programs have a variety of partner airlines which you may be flying on when you book an award flight, and all of them add taxes and fees to award tickets. In some cases those fees can be prohibitively high, adding up to several hundred dollars.
I've included the airlines in the list above that you should avoid so you won't get stuck paying too much in fees. Be sure to always check the fees that are added to your flight before finalizing the booking.
The cards that will earn the miles you need to get to China and Hong Kong the fastest are part of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program. That's because these cards come with the best sign-up bonuses and earn points that can be transferred to several frequent flyer programs on the list above, including United MileagePlus, Air France KLM Flying Blue, Korean Air Skypass and British Airways Executive Club.
The Sapphire Reserve card comes with a huge sign-up bonus, triple points for travel and restaurant purchases and a hefty annual fee. While $450 might be hard to swallow, the card includes an annual $300 credit toward travel expenses, free lounge access and a 50 percent discount on airfare purchased through the Ultimate Rewards website. If you use the card's perks, it's probably worth the money.
The Sapphire Preferred card is the no-risk choice in the lineup. It's comparatively modest annual fee of $95 is waived the first year, so you can cancel it if it doesn't suit you and you'll never pay a penny. It still has a good sign-up bonus and double points for travel and dining out.
If you're a small business owner or independent contractor, the Ink Plus Business card is a great choice too. It has a slightly higher sign-up bonus than the Sapphire Preferred and fantastic quintuple earning categories, including some recurring bills like cell phones, internet and cable. The annual fee is not waived the first year and the card has a fairly high minimum spend of $5,000 that you must meet to get the bonus. That's more than the target I set of $1,500 a month.
I don't usually recommend co-branded airline cards over cards with transferable points. The flexibility of being able to use your points with multiple airlines is great. But with its current sign-up bonus of 50,000 miles, which is higher than the standard 30,000-mile bonus, it's hard to pass up the Gold Delta SkyMiles card.
Keep in mind that with this card you're stuck flying Delta. If you can't find an award flight on the dates you want at the lowest redemptions rates, you'll just have to pay more or use your miles for something else.
The SPG Amex's sign-up bonus is, at best, half of what you'd get with the other cards mentioned above. It has two great perks, though. First, it has over 30 airline transfer partners. You can transfer points from SPG to all of the frequent flyer programs on the list above. Note that United is the only one that doesn't transfer at a 1:1 ratio, so it's best to skip that option.
The other fantastic benefit of this card is that you get a 5,000-point bonus for every 20,000 points that are transferred to an airline. That can really cut down on the time you need to save for a ticket. Taking advantage of the bonus reduces the time it takes to earn a 60,000-mile flight on ANA to Beijing from two years to just 16 months.
There's nothing wrong with getting a couple of cards and doubling up on sign-up bonuses. The SPG Amex, for instance, is a great second card since it transfers to almost all major airlines.
Many carriers have solid co-branded cards with bonuses typically in the 30,000-mile range, including United, American, Alaska and British Airways. The annual fee is waived for the first year on many co-branded airline cards, making them a great addition to your miles and points strategy.

Federal court blocks Texas health center from touting 'ozone therapy' as coronavirus treatment
April 28, 2020 Health News 0
A Texas wellness company was barred from promoting "ozone therapy" as treatment for coronavirus following a lawsuit by the Justice Department alleging that the claim is false and could lead to harmful health consequences, the agency announced Friday.
Purity Health and Wellness Centers, Inc. in Dallas used its Instagram account to claim to potential customers that its ozone treatments can cure and prevent COVID-19, according to a complaint filed earlier this week by federal prosecutors in Texas. One post said: "The CORONAVIRUS is here in the U.S.. The only prevention is ozone. #coronavirus #ozonetherapy."
In other posts, the company wrote:
"Concerns over CORONAVIRUS—you don't have to worry if you do ozone! #coronavirus #epidemic #ebola #ozonetherapy."
"Corona Virus update: ozone eradicates lethal viruses and bacteria. #coronavirus #ozonetherapy."
A federal judge on Thursday granted a permanent injunction barring Purity Health and Wellness from making such claims. Under an agreement with the Justice Department, the company is not admitting it committed fraud, but it agreed to stop making false representations linking ozone treatments to COVID-19.
As of Friday, images promoting ozone therapy remain on the company's Instagram account, although posts claiming it can treat COVID-19 appear to have been deleted.
Attorney General William Barr has directed all 94 U.S. attorneys to aggressively crack down on criminal activities meant to exploit the pandemic for profit. Several have been charged, including a man who was accused of trying to sell $750 million worth of face masks that didn't exist and another who was allegedly hoarding and price gouging personal protective equipment.
A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Central Islip charging Amardeep Singh with violating the Defense Production Act of 1950 by hoarding personal protective equipment (PPE) at a warehouse in Brentwood, New York, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and price-gouging customers of his retail store in Plainview, New York. If convicted, Singh faces up to one year in prison.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced it has disrupted hundreds of online scams tied to the pandemic. These include a fake website to solicit donations to the American Red Cross for coronavirus relief efforts and websites pretending to belong to government programs and organizations to trick people into giving personal information.
Erin Nealy Cox, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said Purity Health and Wellness exploited the pandemic for profit by peddling bogus treatments.
"The Department of Justice will not stand by and permit the fraudulent promotion of supposed COVID-19 treatments that do no good and that could be harmful," said Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt of the Justice Department's Civil Division. "We are working with law enforcement and agency partners to stop those who attempt to profit by selling useless products during this pandemic."
Ozone, a toxic gas, "has no known useful medical application," according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Investigation into the company began last week, when an FBI special agent found the Instagram posts. According to court records, the company's owner told a caller, who was posing as a potential customer, that ozone treatment is safe for children and would eradicate viral and bacterial infections.
The owner also claimed that such treatments were 95% effective in treating COVID-19 and that doctors had recommended an "ozone steam sauna" for coronavirus patients, authorities alleged.
There are no approved drugs or therapeutics to prevent or treat COVID-19. Several medications, including hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine—touted by President Donald Trump as a potential "game changer"—are under investigation in clinical trials as potential COVID-19 treatments. But the Food and Drug Administration has warned that the malaria drugs have led to serious heart rhythm problems and should not be used outside hospital or clinical trial settings.
During a White House briefing Thursday, Trump speculated about using "light inside the body" and disinfectants to treat COVID-19. The president floated the use of disinfectants "by injection," triggering warnings from health experts and companies, including Lysol. The company said "under no circumstances" should its product be used as treatment.

Witness claims Douglass wasn't shooter
MUNCIE – On Tuesday, a witness maintained he saw Terrence Douglass shoot Jamel Barnes.
On Thursday, another man purported to have witnessed the October 2012 slaying, and insisted Douglass wasn't the gunman.
Jurors in Douglass' Delaware Circuit Court 3 trial will likely ponder those conflicting stories Friday when they begin deliberations in the case.
The 27-year-old Muncie man is charged with murder in Barnes' death, and armed robbery and criminal confinement, based on allegations Douglass and another man robbed a resident of the same southside neighborhood a few minutes before the slaying.
Prosecutors Jeffery Arnold and Zachary Craig — who contend Douglass shot Barnes at a southside intersection while being pursued by the robbery victim's mother — rested their case Thursday afternoon.
Public defenders Robert Beymer and Joelle Freiburger then called 46-year-old Kevin Wallace to the stand.
He maintained he saw a sport-utility vehicle driven by a woman pull up behind Barnes as he walked near Fifth and Vine streets. A man got out of the SUV's back seat, confronted Barnes and shot him, he said.
Wallace — who said he considered both Douglass and Barnes as "family" — maintained the shooter was a significantly smaller man than the defendant, who stands 6 feet 3 inches tall.
"By the size and body structure, it wasn't (Douglass)," he said.
Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold asked why Wallace had not come forward with his story soon after Douglass was arrested and charged with murder.
"It's none of my business," he said.
Confronted by Arnold about discrepancies between the story he told Thursday and his testimony in an earlier deposition, Wallace maintained he had not made some of the statements in the deposition.
Another defense witness, Candice Johnson, said she was nearby when Barnes was gunned down, and saw a truck or SUV near the shooting scene.
She said after being wounded, Barnes called to her, "Get my brother. I've been shot."
When testimony resumes at 9 a.m. Friday, the defense attorneys are expected to call to the stand Muncie resident Alonzo Golston Williams III, perhaps as the trial's final witness.
Judge Linda Ralu Wolf ruled Thursday that Beymer can ask the 21-year-old Williams whether he shot Barnes. Police witnesses acknowledged Thursday that Williams had also been mentioned as a possible suspect in the slaying, adding they found no credible evidence to link him to the crime.
Another defense witness testified that Williams drove an SUV and had a .45-caliber handgun, the type of weapon used in the slaying.
Also Thursday:
• Jurors viewed a recording of an interview police conducted with Douglass following his arrest a day after the slaying.
Douglass acknowledged he might have been in the area of the slaying, but maintained he knew nothing about it.
"I might have been (nearby)," he said. "That's my area. I don't know when it happened. ... I didn't shoot nobody. That's b------t."
The defendant said he went to Anderson later that night because he feared for his safety after learning about rumors he was the shooter.
Douglass at one point declined to answer questions about the earlier robbery in the neighborhood. "That's not what I'm here for," he said.
• Jeffery D. White, 43, found in contempt of court Wednesday after he refused to answer questions and shouted at the judge and attorneys, returned to the courtroom and completed his testimony without incident.
Wolf — who ordered White to spend seven days in jail on Wednesday — told the witness he had "purged" himself of contempt by cooperating, and ordered him released.
White testified that several hours before the Barnes slaying, Douglass pulled a .45-caliber handgun on him after White had armed himself with a knife during a domestic dispute that also involved the defendant's girlfriend.

The installation is from the DVD and it does take a while to load. This is due to the extensive amount of ClipArt included with the software.
There is an on-line tutorial, taking the user through the creation of a scrapbook page, including the insertion of several pictures and text. The Help system is extensive and very good. The on-line Help provides step-by-step directions for any particular task you want to perform. There are also Help notes for each item on the Tools Palette. Between the tutorial and the on-line Help, the beginning user should have no difficulty creating scrapbook pages. This is the main menu in the Help system. It is broken down by task.
Upon selecting a main task, you can then further select the specific area in which you need help.
You begin by selecting a page size. iRemember supports wide format inkjet printers for creating 12 x 12 scrapbook pages. You can also select 8.5 x 8.5 (for use in creating invitations) or create a custom size for your particular project. You can then go to the iRemember ClipArt to use one of the templates provided. Included with the clip art are backgrounds, poems, quotes, embellishments and patterns. There are templates for many occasions. Or you can create your own page. I did this by bringing in a photo, reducing its opacity and using it as a background for other photos and text.
Here is an example of using a template to create a birthday page: First, a new album is created. Then a template is selected and dragged to the album page.
You can import or drag photos from iPhoto or Finder. Any changes you make to your photos in iRemember will not affect the original photo. You can crop your photos, rearrange them on the page, or rotate the photos.
The Toolbar has several shapes – the rectangle, oval, and about a dozen others. You can create a shape on your page, and then select and drag your photo into the shape. You can increase the photo's size to completely fill the shape. You can put frames or corners around your photos.
iRemember gives you the flexibility to quickly create scrapbook pages. You can export these pages as .jpeg files for sending to family and friends. If your scrapbook has more than one page, when you export it as a .jpeg file, iRemember saves each scrapbook page as a .jpeg file. I liked the ease of use. I started using iRemember when I first received it. Then I didn't use it for at least a month. With its great Help system, I was able to quickly refresh my memory about some of the techniques and created several more pages fairly easily. This is an excellent software package for anyone who wants to do digital scrapbooking but doesn't want to learn all the techniques available in Photoshop Elements. The pages created through iRemember look great. However, there are a limited number of shapes available for use. In Photoshop Elements, you can be much more creative with shadows, bevels, and craft more unique and complicated pages. You have to decide how much time you want to spend on scrapbooking.
For the person who wants to create scrapbooks but is limited by time or creative ability, iRemember is the way to go. iRemember is definitely a quick way to get started in digital scrapbooking. Not only is it a good piece of software for adults, I feel it would also appeal to children ages 10 and up who are looking for something creative to do on the Mac.

I need to know if Checklists - Easy, Quick, Exact Workflows in Teams collects and/or stores any user data. If it is collected and stored, where is it stored?

Thanks for asking. We're leveraging the Google Cloud Platform in Zone "Europe West 3" in Frankfurt, Germany at this point. We fully comply with GDPR and the strict German and most international standards for privacy and data security. The app does save data that you put in the checklists. So theoretically personal information (as text) could be stored in a task of a checklist. But that's neither recommended, nor useful. That's more of a hypothetical case.
We do allow checklist admins to require signatures, which will be saved as SVG-files. But that's also only images not connected to any personal data. The app itself works anonymously and does not save any personal data.
If you're interested, please pick a slot in our calendars to talk about this and the app in a call.

I have written about Chase and American Express waiving fees for active duty military members. They are some of the most generous benefits as it pertains to saving money on credit card bills. May is the anniversary month of my Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) benefits from Chase. In the past, I have called Chase to continue the benefits but now it appears that the phone call will no longer be needed. I received a letter from Chase stating that the SCRA benefits had automatically been extended. Chase verified (not quite sure how) my active duty status through the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center. Once the verification occurred, my benefits were extended by a year. FYI: SCRA benefits expire one year after the military service ends.
If you have a lower APR, that rate will apply.
All fees (foreign transaction, late, and annual) are waived.
Refunds will be issued for previous fees or interest charges.
I am thankful that I get to wake up and do what I love every day. Some days are longer than others but the support from people throughout this country can be felt and is greatly appreciated. Thank you Chase.
If I get a chase business card in my business name obviously but personally guarantee it with my personal credit, does the SCRA still apply because I'm active duty business owner?
