Riverside native and San Francisco Giants player Bobby Bonds is saluted with the annual Bobby Bonds Day at the Riverside park that bears his name.
Hometown pride and a love of sports brought over 200 youth, as well as a handful of volunteers, citizens and community leaders to a downtown Riverside park on Friday, Aug. 19.
The fourth annual Bobby Bonds Day and Youth Festival, held at the Bobby Bonds Park & Sports Complex, honors former baseball superstar and Riverside native Bobby Lee Bonds.
Bonds, who passed away in August 2003, was a right fielder with the San Francisco Giants. He is also the father of baseball slugger Barry Bonds, with whom he shares a decorated father-son record for combined stolen bases, home runs, and RBIs in the sport.
Aside from honoring Bobby Bonds, the festival highlighted the importance sports can do for a community.
"This community used to be ridden with crime and negative activity. Growing up and finding a positive role model was difficult – but events (like this) demonstrate the importance of sports and what it can do for the community, and the opportunities it creates for the kids," said Mario Lopez, deputy director of Riverside Parks and Recreation.
After a brief welcome and introduction video to the life of Bobby Bonds, the kids participated in sports including swimming, track and field, basketball and baseball. Participants and volunteers are all Riverside County residents, invited from summer day camps and sports camps at the center.
Several former Olympians were also spotted at the event, including Reynaldo Brown (1968 Olympian high jumper), Eddie Hart (1972 Olympian sprinter), Judy Shapiro-Ikenberry (1960 Olympic Trials running finalist), and Bonds' sister, Rosie (1964 Olympian hurdler).
Rosie Bonds founded the event – and the Bobby Bonds Day Inc. – several years ago to continue her brother's legacy, especially in the community he grew up in and loved.
"It was my brother's last dying wish," Rosie Bonds, who used much of her own savings to put on this annual event, shared.
"Seeing that (Bobby Bonds) grew up here and made it out there – it makes me feel like I can do anything," shared Latavia Collins, a track and field runner and Riverside student who came to play sports with her friends.
Riverside City Councilman Andy Melendrez also came to show his support.
Melendrez also shared about the city's new Riverside Sports Commission, which aims to provide more sporting events similar to Bobby Bonds Day that bring the community together.

In 1909, the address of the Fowler House was given as "363 Grove Street."
Eldridge M., a businessman, and Margaret Brewer Fowler, an educator and notable philanthropist, resided in this residence on South Orange Grove Avenue's "Millionaires Row" for many years. Eldridge died in 1904, but Margaret continued to lived here well into the 1920s. She also erected a residence in Chino Hills, CA, near one of her chief philanthropic interests, the George Junior Republic (aka the California Junior Republic), a school for delinquent boys. She provided funding to find various means--other than jails and reform schools--to redirect the energies of "problem" boys. Margaret Fowler was also an important donor to women's higher education causes and the YWCA. (See Boys Republic, "Our Legacy: Margaret Fowler," accessed 06/21/2016.)
Margaret Fowler's friend, Myron H. Hunt (1868-1952), designed alterations to the Fowler House in 1915. Hunt designed the garden illustrated with Paul Joseph Howard and the gardener John Blake. (See Library of Congress, "Mrs. Eldridge Merick Fowler house, 363 Grove Street, Pasadena, California," accessed 06/21/2016.)

Professor Keen debunks the myth of government deficits
Blockworks Macro, Released on 12/7/22
Professor Keen joins the show to debunk the myth of government deficits by walking through the biggest misconceptions in the mechanics of money, government spending and private vs public sector deficits.
Steve Keen is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author. He considers himself a post-Keynesian, criticizing neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. Keen was formerly an associate professor of economics at University of Western Sydney, until he applied for voluntary redundancy in 2013, due to the closure of the economics program at the university. In autumn 2014 he became a professor and Head of the School of Economics, History and Politics at Kingston University in London. He is also a fellow at the Centre for Policy Development. His latest book is The New Economics: A Manifesto.

Chiefs Defeat 49ers to Win First Super Bowl in 50 Years
Coming into this game, we knew that it could be a great one. Kansas City reached the Super Bowl after beating the Titans in the AFC Championship game. The 49ers on the other hand destroyed the Packers to clinch a Super Bowl berth. Could the 49ers defense contain Patrick Mahomes? Could the Chiefs defense continue to play at an elevated level? Who walked out of Super Bowl LIV with the win? Did the 49ers earn their sixth in franchise history? Did Andy Reid finally add a championship to his resume?
Kansas City started the game with the ball, and they went three-and-out. On the 49ers first possession, San Francisco put together a nice drive. Deebo Samuel was the focal point as the Niners drove the ball down the field. In the end, Kansas City held San Francisco to a field goal. The Chiefs seemed to get in their groove on the second possession. Mahomes put together a great drive and it ended with a 1-yard TD from him. During that drive, Kansas City converted a 4th down and a Mahomes fumble out of bounds. The Chiefs took a 7-3 lead into the second quarter. The Chiefs went up 10-3 on a Harrison Butker 31-yard field goal. Kansas City intercepted Jimmy Garoppolo on the next possession. Kansas City didn't capitalize on the turnover. San Francisco was able to tie the game up on a Jimmy Garoppolo TD pass to Kyle Juszczyk. They went into halftime tied at 10.
San Francisco opened the second half with the ball. The 49ers put together a nice drive and it ended with a Robbie Gould 42 yard field goal. Kansas City got the ball back and put another nice drive together. Mahomes fumbled but got the ball back. A few plays later, Mahomes threw an interception to give the ball back to the Niners. San Francisco drove the ball downfield and scored on a 1-yard run by Raheem Mostert to put the Niners up 20-10. The Chiefs started a nice drive with Mahomes running for a first down on 3rd & 5. The third quarter came to an end with the Chiefs driving down 20-10. As the Chiefs were driving, Mahomes threw behind Tyreek Hill for another interception.
San Francisco converted a first down and was forced to punt the ball back to Kansas City. Mahomes finally hit a big play on a 44 yard reception to Tyreek Hill. Three plays later, the 49ers were hit with a pass interference which put the ball on the one yard line. Mahomes hit Kelce for a touchdown on the next play. The 49ers got the ball back with a little over six minutes with a 20-17 lead. San Francisco went three and out giving the ball back to the Chiefs offense with about five minutes remaining. Mahomes drove them down the field quickly as he hit Sammy Watkins for a 38 yard pass. Three plays later Mahomes hit Damien Williams for a 5 yard TD. With less than three minutes remaining, Kansas City lead 24-20. The 49ers made a couple plays, but that's it.
They turned the ball over on downs and the Chiefs got the ball with about a minute and a half left. Two plays later, Damien Williams scored on a 38 yard run to clinch the game. With a little over a minute, Kansas City went up 31-20. The Chiefs intercepted Garoppolo again to wrap up the championship. Kansas City ran the clock out and claimed their first championship in 50 years and Andy Reid's first. Mahomes didn't have his typical game, but he walked away with the Super Bowl MVP. He finished with 286 yards passing, 29 rushing, 3 total TDs and a pair of interceptions. Mahomes became the youngest player in history with a Super Bowl and regular season MVP award. With the Chiefs winning, my record is 90-48 and my winning percentage 65.2%.

Rejected petition Follow Scotland and Spain, allow self-ID for trans people by statutory declaration.
On the 22nd of December 2022, the Scottish Parliament passed its Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, allowing for self-ID for transgender citizens. 30 other states, countries and regions across 4 continents have adopted similar laws, including Spain on the same date. I would call on the Senedd to put forward similar legislation to follow the Welsh Government's aim of becoming "the most LGBTQ+ friendly nation in Europe".
At the time of putting forward this petition, the UK Government has not explicitly stated that a Section 35 order will be called upon, and as such while the Scottish Bill is yet to recieve royal assent, it has still successfully passed through the Scottish Parliament -

Interview with DJ Design
[ Conducted in December 2003 ]
One third of "Foreign Legion" and the man behind some very cool Negotiation Limerick File remixes. Beastiemania chats to DJ Design about his Beastie remix work, the UK music scene and Christian rock.
How did you get to the position of remixing a Beastie Boys track? Did they ask you personally?
It all happened because of my manager at the time, Lori Beulla. She knows just about everyone in the music industry (she by the way was also Z-Trip's manager, and still is). She was shopping my Foreign Legion record to some labels and GR was one of them. Kenny "The Tick" Salcido was GR's office manager and a friend of Lori's. He was already a fan of the Foreign Legion ABB release "Full-Time B-Boy" and was excited to meet us. Tick told me that the Beasties were big fans of the 12" and when we sent him out a copy of FL's "Kidnapper Van", he forwarded a copy to Mike D. Mike really liked the album and between him and Tick, they decided I should submit a remix for their upcoming single, NLF. It also might not have hurt that Lori was Mike D's neighbour.
After you did the remix, did you hang out at the studio and meet the band?
Well, not exactly. I caught a flight down there and visited the offices with Tick, but the closest I got to them was AD Rock's SP1200 and those silly yellow suits they wore in one of their videos. Which were given to some charity I forgot the name of. Oh, but I did come home with a collectors item - an uncut record sleeve of the Paul's Boutique gatefold.
Were you told prior to taking on the remix that it would be used as a download to support Kosovo relief efforts?
No, I was only told about that after they decided to use the Prince Paul and Automator remixes for the 12". I think my name wasn't big enough for the 12". But when I heard the news that it was going down like that I was totally supportive.
Your remix (and the Instrumental and Accapella versions of it) were never officially released on CD or Vinyl. Was that disappointing for you?
Yeah. I felt my remix was a lot funkier than a lot of the other ones out there. I mean, I don't want to sound egotistical, but the song was different. I sampled it from a Christian rock record that I bought from some speed freak on Haight St. for five dollars. I made the song and Peanut Butter Wolf helped with the arrangement and the scratch duties. And when it was finished, we both had these big smiles on our faces. And then it didn't make it onto vinyl. Disappointing is an understatement.
Although it was only really available through download, do you think the remix brought you any exposure?
I don't know if it did. Because the song was really only ever put out that way, I'm pretty sure not too many people got to even hear it. I sort of like it that way, though. It's only known by the few folks who tried to seek it out.
What do you think about downloading songs from the internet?
I think it's cool. I listen to snippets online, but to tell the truth I'm not that savvy, I can't even find those music sites people download from.
You've released stuff on a number of different labels (ABB Records, Insiduous Urban, Stones Throw) and now you're on Look Records. Would you be opposed to signing to a major label if the money came knocking?
Well, I think the major label idea is not always the smartest move you can make these days. The industry's in such a mess right now that if your music isn't going to sell as well as Big Tymers, it might be wiser to sign to a solid indie like Stonethrow or ABB. You have to recognize your niche and cultivate it at a grassroots level. Oh, and hold onto your publishing!
At first glance, you've got that whole UK mod thing happening - not your usual clich'd hip-hop getup. Do you get inspiration from that scene at all?
I get pigeon holed a lot. But it works to my advantage mostly. People usually say "It was you that made that beat?". I've always been a fan of that Manchester scene stuff. I was big into the Stone Roses, Charlatans, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine and so on. It's great music, but it's hard to get inspired to make a rap song after hearing "Girlfriend In A Coma". There is one band, though, that is far from hip hop but still completely inspiring for the chaos of it all - that would have to be Huggy Bear.
Oh yeah totally. My music background is definately biased towards the UK scene with an emphasis on Manchester. Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays... Actually both Morrissey and New Order toured down this way last year, now that was great. Did you see the "24 Hour Party People" movie based on Factory Records and the Manchester scene?
Yeah, it was great. I think the guy who played Ian Curtis should re-form Joy Division and show all these wanna be's who's runnin' thangs.
So if someone was to do a movie with DJ Design as a character, who would you want to play yourself?
Uh, maybe Jessica Alba. Or my friend DJ Flip who just won the ITF world DJ competition yesterday. He's just a great kid and deserves his kudos!
So do you put "International DJ" as your job description on your income tax return these days?
"International Loafer" would be a better description.
Why start DJing? For the girls? the money? the fame? The rumor is that your father had a mad record collection.
Choosing to DJ came from seeing the movie Beat Street back in the Eighties. After that I just wanted to scratch. I loved the sound of it. My family are all music fans, and two of my brothers used to play congas in the garage along to Earth Wind & Fire songs. My sister Lisa introduced me to the B-52's in 1982 and that sort of opened things up for me. But yes, all along my dad had the goods right there, The Meters, The Winstons, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, Hot Chocolate, Jimmy Cliff - you name it, he knew it. He was a DJ in Vietnam too. He played records over the airwaves and got to do a bunch of interviews with artists that came over to support. He has a great knowledge of how good certain bands were live too. He always said Rare Earth were probably the best band in the world at their peak.
The most embarrassing record in your collection?
I don't think any records are embarrassing. I do have a thing for Christian rock records from the 70's. Anything from Word Records, Tempo, all the stuff from Waco Texas is the shit! To tell the truth, in some weird way, having my own records in my collection is probably the most embarrassing thing, because I'm still always a little self-conscious about my music.
Everyone goes through a few handles before they find the one they like. What were yours before coming up with "DJ Design"?
There first was DJ KGB (1988), then Side A (1991), then I put "Design by Keith" on a 12" I produced for Rasco (What It's All About), who was on Stonesthrow at the time. I used to design record covers for Stonesthrow - I did the PB Wolf record "My Vinyl Weighs A Ton" (I came up with that '60s logo by biting the Cadet Concept label). Chris is a 60's psyche fan and the cover reflected that. I also created the Quasimoto character and logo design for for Madlib. It was for a 12" called "Microphone Mathematics". So I guess I was designing a lot of stuff and the name stuck.
Foreign Legion always seem to be having so much fun. I don't expect we'll be seeing Foreign Legion packing and starting feuds with other crews any time soon?
I think the only beefs we have are with each other. We're always clownin' and are best friends, but in the studio it's a different story. It's a lot like Pro Wrestling.
How does a Foreign Legion track come together? Who starts it off?
I always make a beat CD and then Prozack and Marc Stretch gel with it for a while and pick the beats they'd like to rap over.
What's in the water over there in San Francisco? There is some amazing talent based there.
There really is. Actually a lot of the talent is from San Jose. Or at least just south of SF and Oakland.
Christmas is coming up way too quickly at the moment, what's on your x-mas list?
Just world peace.
Any plans for New Years Eve?
I enjoy staying in on all major holidays. I'm a bit of a people-phobe.
How has 2003 been for you, turning 30 and all?
It's been an especially awful year for violence across the world. I feel some stress from that. But being thirty is actually like turning twenty these days. My mother already had her 6th kid (me!) by the time she was thirty.
Finally, a little birdie told me a story involving you, some roadkill and a cafe. Would you like to explain yourself? ;)
No thanks. That's crazy. I knew that would come back to haunt me!

El Santuario de Nuestro Señor San José y el Señor de los Trabajos, conocido simplemente como el Templo de San José, es un edificio católico ubicado en la Alameda Juan Sarabia de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí, México. El templo es catalogado como monumento histórico por el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) para su preservación.

Acerca del templo
Se ubica en la parte sur de la Alameda Juan Sarabia y fue edificada bajo la iniciativa de Sor Rosa Cerda de las Hermanas de la Caridad. El 19 de marzo de 1874 fue colocada la primera piedra del templo. La sacristía fue inaugurada en 1882. La construcción del templo completo fue finalizada por Cástulo Camacho el 19 de marzo de 1885. En 1985 con motivo de la celebración de su primer centenario fue declarado santuario. Su fachada está compuesta por cantera gris. Tiene una torre central del estilo neogótico que contrasta con el estilo barroco que predomina en el resto del centro histórico. En su interior predomina el orden dórico. Se pueden apreciar dos pinturas que datan de 1935, unos lienzos y 10 óvalos con los cinco misterios del rosario. En el sotacoro localizado en la parte derecha abajo del interior del templo se encuentra la imagen del Señor de los Trabajos. La escultura data de 1970 e incluye los casquillos, los clavos, la corona y la cruz. Las bóvedas cuentan con 30 candiles de cristal fabricadas por Baccarat. Debajo del piso del templo y de la sacristía se encuentran las criptas más grandes de todo San Luis Potosí.

Qualified Working Disabled Individuals-1 (QWDI).
What Are The QMB Benefits?
What Are The SLMB Benefits?
What Is The Qualified Individual (QI) Program?
What Are The QI Benefits?
Who Are Qualified Working Disabled Individuals (QWDI)?
What If I Am Denied Eligibility Or Terminated?
Individuals age 65 or older who are U.S. citizens or aliens lawfully admitted who are permanent residents, and who have resided in the U.S. continuously for five years preceding the month of application.
• be Medicare Part A eligible because of chronic renal disease.
ODJFS uses the same methodologies as in Medicaid to determine if an individual meets the income and resource standards. Income eligibility requirements are based on the federal poverty level which is adjusted annually. New income standards are effective each April. The Social Security Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) are not counted in January, February and March of each year in determining eligibility during those months.
Unlike the Medicaid program, income cannot be "spent-down" to gain eligibility for the Medicare Savings Programs. Applicants may be dually eligible for a Medicare Savings Program and other Medicaid programs.
When determining income eligibility, Medicaid deductions and adjustments (i.e., disregards, income exemptions and deeming) are made to gross income. The Medicare Savings Programs use the resource standard (maximum eligibility assets) of $7,080 for an individual and $10,620 for a couple.
Applications must be filed with your County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS). You will receive a special card after eligibility is determined; however, the card is valid for only one year. You must reapply once a year to maintain eligibility.
Payments for Medicare out of pocket expenses such as deductibles and the 20% of Medicare covered services provided by Medicaid participating providers. QMB is similar to Medicare Supplemental, "Med-Supp" or "Medi-Gap" Insurance.
QMB is effective the first day of the month following the month eligibility is determined and authorized. There is no retroactive QMB eligibility.
Payment of the Medicare Part B premium, $104.90, only.
SLMB does not pay any portion of the Medicare coinsurance or deductibles.
SLMB takes effect the month of application provided all eligibility requirements are met. Unlike QMB, SLMB may be retroactive and available for up to three months prior to the month of application. The applicant must meet all eligibility criteria in each of the three months.
The QI-1 program is 100% federally funded on a yearly basis. Eligibility is determined on a first-come, first-served basis until all of the State's allocated slots are taken for the calendar year. Each calendar year a new application must be filed and eligibility will be redetermined.
QI-1 is a Medicare eligible individual who is eligible for payment of his/her Medicare Part B premium only. Eligibility is effective the month of application. Retroactive QI-1 is available for up to 3 months prior to the month of application but not prior to January 1 of each year. All eligibility requirements must be met in each of the three months.
An individual cannot be dually eligible for QI-1 and other Medicaid programs unless she is eligible for "delayed spend-down" Medicaid or uses the "Pay-In Spend-down" Medicaid option.
These individuals have lost Social Security disability benefits due to earnings in excess of the substantial gainful activity (SGA) level of $1,040 monthly. However, they are permitted to enroll for Medicare Part A. Certain QWDIs are provided Medicaid only for the purpose of paying the Medicare Part A premium.
WHAT IF I AM DENIED ELIGIBILITY OR MY BENEFITS ARE TERMINATED?
You may appeal to ODJFS by requesting a state hearing within 90 days from the mailing date day on the notice of denial or termination. In a termination of benefits case, if you request the state hearing within 10 days from the date on the mailing notice the department will not terminate your benefits before a state hearing decision is issued.
If your benefits are not granted or restored at a state hearing you may file a "paper" appeal with the Appeals Council, Office of Legal Services, Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services in Columbus, Ohio within 15 calendar days from the date the state hearing decision is issued. You may request your benefits not end until the Appeals Council issues a decision; however, whether your request is granted or not is discretionary. If you need legal advice and are age 60 or over, call Pro Seniors at (513) 345-4160 or 1-800-488-6070. If you are under age 60, call 1-866-Law-Ohio (1-866-529-6446) to reach the nearest legal aid society.


Today, members from Advance Youth Leadership Power (AYLP) will attend and testify at the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney's Office's hearing on police violence in Chicago.
Before the hearing at 6:30 p.m., they will host a vigil at 5 p.m,. outside of Truman College, to honor those who were affected by the Chicago Police Department's assault on people with disabilities. Most notably, those with a disability who have been assaulted by police include Laquan McDonald, Quintonio LeGrier and Brandon Bragg.
In the aftermath of police shootings, disability is seldom part of the dialogue. At least a half to 70 percent of police violence reported in the media involves people with disabilities, according to a release, adding that people with disabilities nationally are four times more likely to be victims of violent crimes than the general population.
However, the police fail to document disabilities in police reports, and police don't have adequate knowledge on interacting with the disability community during a crisis or peaceful moments.
• Calls on the Superintendent and all precincts to severely punish officers who kill people without legitimate reason. Severe punishment includes suspension without pay, expulsion from the Chicago Police Department, revoking the right to carry firearms, mandatory training on interacting with the disability community, and jail sentencing.
• Demands officers be trained in not only crisis intervention, but also establishing a strong, inclusive connection with the disability community in each precinct.


Don't be afraid to change the way you navigate your life.
Will Donnelly/Practical Yoga, Spirit Trainer. Yoga & Meditation Teacher. Writer.
The year is 325 AD. On one of a small cluster of islands in the south pacific sea, now known as the Marquesas, a young Tahitian man is anxiously gathering tools for a unique voyage.
Like his father, Reva is an astronomer, but he has learned to read the stars and navigate his way around his home islands like no other. Now, he is part of an elite group who will courageously set sail and explore the vast Pacific Ocean—in a small, double-hulled canoe. A few have gone before him. None have returned.
For the Polynesians, it is an age of exploration, and Reva's adept celestial mapping skills put him at the forefront of this movement. It would be his destiny to make the trek and find his way to an undiscovered new chain of islands, what is now called Hawaii. He would also be the first to return home and share his "map" of the stars, which would guide travelers across the sea and, for the next 300 years, help establish a new thriving community in the central pacific region.
Reva's story is an amalgamation of stories of the Polynesian people's journey across the sea from 300-600 AD. This epic migration is a dramatic demonstration of a quality in the human heart that drives us to continually expand and explore our boundaries. Expansion requires courage, and courageous people, notably, are not fearless. Courageous people, like these Polynesians, feel their fears and move through them anyway. And much is gained.
In Hawaiian culture, the word for courage is koa, getting its source inspiration from the koa tree. Koa wood is one of the strongest and most durable woods in all of Hawaii and, many agree, the most lustrous and beautiful. The word koa reflects the Hawaiian's ability to reflect on nature to find meaning and wisdom.
As the Polynesians knew, an epic journey of growth comes with great challenge and risk. In our own journey of self-discovery, courage is almost always required. There are times when we must cast off from the safe shore, set sail into the unknown, and risk. We must hold tight to our vision of a better world while staying open to how that will eventually look.
For our journey we must be durable and strong, like the koa wood, if the passage is to hold any beauty. Once committed, we begin to work with and understand the currents in our lives. As we commit to staying present, we learn to trust our navigational skills, however rudimentary.
In time, we learn to map the firmament of our higher energies and detect patterns, just as Reva learned to detect and follow the guidance of the stars. To the naked eye, there is no pattern. But to us, like Reva, we learn to see and follow it. The result is the discovery of new internal worlds, and with it, freedom, expansion, and growth.
Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature that he has been destroying is this God he's worshiping.

September is National Preparedness Month: Statewide Mutual Aid Network Provides 24/7 Response to Illinois Communities
Source: Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network | Fri, 11 Sep 2020, 12:24:17 EDT
CHARLES, Ill., Sept. 11, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Communities are continuing clean-up efforts following the summer's severe weather events, says Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network. This includes an Aug. 10 storm classified by the National Weather Service as a Derecho (a long-lived line of thunderstorms and intense winds) that produced widespread damage to trees, power lines, buildings, and vehicles from hurricane-force winds and 11 tornadoes.
PHOTO CAPTION: Derecho Damage in Spring Valley, Illinois.
Five Northern Illinois communities — Lombard, Oglesby, Villa Park, Spring Valley and Grant Park — received recovery assistance through their membership in the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network (IPWMAN), a statewide organization that offers a standardized mutual aid agreement as a framework for communities to help each other prepare and recover from natural and man-made disasters. In total, 23 other IPWMAN member communities provided aid to those five cities and villages.
Formed in 2009 in response to revised guidelines issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, IPWMAN provides three primary benefits to members.
#1: Access to statewide resources, including equipment, expertise and people power.
IPWMAN's membership has grown from three members in 2009 to over 400 organizations in 2020 — including counties, cities, towns, villages and townships, as well as a sanitary district and a water district — serving populations that range from fewer than 500 to more than 5 million residents.
#2: Coordinated response.
IPWMAN members receive the first 5 days of disaster support at no cost. Requests for assistance go to an IPWMAN Call Center, available 24/7 and staffed by trained public works duty officers who coordinate requests and assistance to efficiently provide necessary resources.
#3: Training opportunities.
IPWMAN provides training for its members, with opportunities ranging from an annual conference that offers information on a variety of emergency response topics to meeting with others who have worked or will be working with them during emergency responses. Other training provided throughout the year includes participating in disaster simulation exercises with other organizations, offering opportunities to learn about and from those other mutual aid organizations.

10. EXPLORING THE KINGDOM OF CAMBIODIA
The Kingdom of Cambodia is finally rebounding from its complex and war-torn past and is on its way to become the next big travel destination in Asia. The country's landscapes are surprisingly diverse, with tropical beaches, remote jungles, rice paddies, and sugar palm plantations. Like most visitors, my prime reason to visit Cambodia is to explore the iconic ancient temple ruins of Angkor Wat. Vast, beautiful and beguiling, these temple complexes contain a magic that makes them stand out from the crowd. Cambodia also has a growing ultra-luxury hotel scene, which is luring discerning travelers to this fascinating Southeast Asian nation. During my visit, I will stay at three fabulous boutique properties located in three different parts of the country: Phum Baitang by Zannier Hotels (near Angor Wat), Alili Koh Russey (a private island beach resort in the Gulf of Thailand), and Shinta Mani Wild (a rainforest camp designed by world-renowned architect Bill Bensley).
9. FLYING BUSINESS CLASS WITH EVA AIR
This spring, I will publish a trip report documenting my experience onboard Taiwan based EVA Air's international Business Class (dubbed 'Royal Laurel Class'). The seats in Royal Laurel Class onboard EVA's B777s and B787s are configured in a reverse herringbone 1-2-1 layout that maximizes space. At the push of a button, each seat converts into an approximately 82 inches (2 meter) long bed, enabling passengers to lie down, get comfortable and sleep on long-haul flights. The Business Class product is complemented by exclusive amenity kits, noise-canceling headphones, mouth-watering cuisine from all over the world (ranging from luscious beef steak to delicious lobster), and the warm, friendly service EVA Air is known for. To top it all, EVA Air is one of the few airlines to offer pajamas in Business Class; loose and comfortable, these garments are perfect for slumbering on long-haul flights. Stay tuned!
8. A HOLIDAY ON THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF ANGUILLA
Tucked away in the Eastern Caribbean lies the inviting, intriguing and exclusive island of Anguilla. Named the number one island in the Caribbean by Travel and Leisure, Anguilla biggest draw are its dazzling white sand beaches, mixed with friendly locals and an authentic island vibe. Discerning travelers come here to sprawl on the island's silky strands, swim in luminous water, play Robinson Crusoe on Anguilla's offshore islands, and snorkel or dive the fish-filled reefs and wrecks. The island is also home to a string of ultraluxe properties, and during my holiday, I will stay at the Four Seasons Resort Anguilla and Belmond Cap Juluca, two five-star retreats that apparently rank among the best beach resorts in the world. I will also visit Belmond La Samanna, which is located on the island of St Maarten, a 20 minute boat ride from Anguilla.
7. TESTING OUT VIRGIN ATLANTIC'S NEW A350 BUSINESS CLASS PRODUCT
I will soon fly from London to New York onboard a brand-new Virgin Atlantic Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, which includes an entirely new Upper Class cabin featuring a new Business Class seat. Laid out in a 1-2-1 configuration, every suite faces towards the window and offers deployable privacy screens. All suites transition seamlessly from an upright seat, straight to a bed. The suite also boasts Virgin Atlantic's largest ever in-flight entertainment screen, at 18.5"and features intuitive new system, controllable by passengers' own personal device. The Virgin Atlantic A350 also features a new bar area known as The Loft. As the largest social space in the airline's fleet, it's designed for customers to gather, chat, enjoy a drink or dine with friends. Virgin Atlantic has ordered a total of 12 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, all scheduled to join the carrier's fleet by the end of 2021.
6. RAINFOREST & BEACH ADVENTURE IN COSTA RICA
Costa Rica is an eco-paradise and one of the most beautiful places on the planet. It is also one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, containing about 5% of the world's species. Fortunately, this natural treasure is protected by the National System of Conservation Areas, preserving a total of 25 percent of the national territory. The country offers majestic volcanoes, Pacific and Caribbean beaches, tropical dry, wet, and rain forests, as well as exhilarating jungle landscapes, all without traveling long distances. Costa Rica is also a frontier on eco-friendly and sustainable tourism. In 2003, I visited Costa Rica as a student, staying at hostels and camp sites, but now I will re-visit the breathtaking scenery of the country in style. During my holiday, I will stay at several of the country's top lodges and resorts, including Lapa Rios, Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagoya, Nayara Tented Camp, and Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo.
5. FLYING BUSINESS CLASS ONBOARD DELTA'S FLAGHSIP A350 AIRCRAFT
I am booked on a flight later this year on Delta Air Lines' new flagship A350 plane from Detroit to Amsterdam. In 2017, Delta Air Lines redefined Business Class travel with the introduction of a Business Class cabin that featured a sliding door at each suite. The suites offer passenger a private space accessed by a sliding door with thoughtfully designed personal stowage areas, an advanced in-flight entertainment system, and premium trim and finishes to create a comfortable, residential feel. Service in Delta One (which is how Delta calls its international Business Class cabin) includes chef-curated meals, wine pairings by Delta's Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson, terrific Westin in-flight bedding, TUMI amenity kits, and in-flight loungewear on select flights. I've heard terrific feedback from Delta's newest Business Class, so I am looking forward to try it out myself.
4. AMAN JOURNEY IN MONTENEGRO
The Southern European country of Montenegro is one of the world's fastest-growing tourist destinations, with several high-end brands opening some ultraluxe resorts over the coming years (e.g. Ritz Carlton, One&Only, etc …). In 2020, I am bringing a visit to the country (which has been on my bucket list for a long time) and will stay at Montenegro's most famous property, Aman Sveti Stefan, managed by Aman, one the word's most exclusive hotel brands. Standing against pink-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and rugged, pine-cloaked mountains, the hotel stretches across a causeway from a rustic island village in the Mediterranean Sea to a former royal residence on the mainland. The 80-acre estate features secret coves, a serene spa and a clifftop pool, scattered along Queen's Beach, a scallop-shaped bay which is considered Montenegro's finest and which is at the exclusive disposal of Aman guests.
3. FLYING FIRST CLASS WITH CATHAY PACIFIC
In summer, you can expect a review of Cathay Pacific's First Class product onboard a Boeing 777 from Hong Kong to Frankfurt. Following the spectacular refurbishment of their First Class Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, Cathay Pacific extended the sophisticated, contemporary style into its First Class. According to Cathay Pacific, the outer surface of the First Class Suite is a dark, high-gloss material, while inside, the side console and the interior of the seat are wrapped in natural leather with subtle linings and stitching for a clean, refined, sophisticated look. Warm-toned natural leather is used extensively on most interior surfaces of the suite for a soft, luxurious feel. The seat smoothly transforms into a fully flat-bed, and the bedding comes with high-quality fabrics for the duvets, pillows, cushions and the mattress to ensure a comfortable sleep.
2. AN EPIC JOURNEY THROUGH NAMIBIA
In summer 2020, I will embark for a road trip in the southern African country of Namibia, a former German colony that only gained independence in 1990. Few countries in the world can match Namibia's sheer natural beauty. Not only is the country world-famous for its exceptional wildlife and a well-developed network of national parks, game reserves and safari lodges, but the landscapes of its coastline and deserts are some of the most photographed and gasped over in the world. My journey will cover all of Namibia's highlights: I will hike in the Fish River Canyon, spot wildlife in Etosha National Park, and watch the sun rise over the world's highest dunes in Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert. En route, I will stay in some of Africa's most spectacular wildlife lodges, including the new ultraluxe Zannier lodges, the recently revamped &Beyond Sossuvlei Desert lodge, and the fabulous Hoanib Skeleton Coast Lodge (managed by Wilderness Safaris) in Namibia's remote area of the Kaokoveld.
1. RE-VISITING MY FAVORITE HOTEL IN THE WORLD, SONEVA KIRI THAILAND
It's no secret. Besides being an Aman junkie, I am a HUGE Soneva fan. The Soneva story started in 1995, when Sonu Shivdasani, an Indian-British hotelier, launched the now world-famous Soneva Fushi resort in the Maldives. He also built his house there, together with his wife Eva Malmstrom, a Swedish fashion model, who developed the design of the unique resort. They had no idea that their intensely personal vision of a locally crafted villa and environmentally responsible lifestyle would form the basis of a successful collection of world-class hotels, resorts and spas. But that's exactly what happened. In 2017, Soneva Fushi got a sister resort in the Maldives, phenomenal Soneva Jani, one of the most amazing resorts ever built. Not very well known, but the group also operates another, and in my opinion even more spectacular hotel: Soneva Kiri on the unspoilt Thai island of Koh. In 2020, I'll bring a return visit to Soneva Kiri, and stay at the property's – and Asia's – most exclusive villa, the 6-bedroom sunset reserve.
Tip: you can always follow in my footsteps and get complimentary VIP perks at any Soneva resort (resort credit + two personalized experiences) by contacting me before any booking is made.

Swiss Traveler says:
Hi, your plans for 2020 sound promising! As I pointed out recently, we have many travel destinations in common. Costa Rica is one of my favorite places in Latin America (I also stayed at the FS at Peninsula Papagayo, a heavenly spot!) and Namibia was on our travel list some years ago twice, a really beautiful country! I am looking forward to hear about your Montenegro vacation, that could be an interesting destination for me as well … Happy traveling! Cheers, Franziska

Angkor Wat is fascinating, beware the crowds!
Nice list, my comments:
Costa Rica – way overrated
Namibia – really, really want to go back and explore more
Cambodia – loved it all, beware of temple fatigue at Angkor it is real! Loved Kampot, so relaxing on the river
Aman – quality and service severely declining in recent years especially at that price
Luxtravler says:
I love your travel blog! AW is crazy if you don't get there by 7 am. Take the sunset lake cruise -wonderful. Agree w/other poster. Loved Aman (especially Moyo Island) but in the last several years has been taken over and service terrible
Radek says:

Западно- и Среднеевропейская епархия (, также Болгарская православная епархия в Западной и Средней Европе, ) — епархия Болгарской православной церкви, объединяющая приходы в Западной Европе с центром в Берлине и архиерейскими наместничествами в Берлине, Будапеште, Стокгольме, Лондоне, Барселоне, Риме.

История
22 декабря 1979 года епископ Главиницкий Симеон (Костадинов) был назначен был назначен патриаршим викарием в Западной Европе с кафедрой в Будапеште. Выбор на венгерскую столицу в качестве штаб-квартиры пал не только потому, что там существовала старая болгарская церковная община, но и из-за более дешёвого проживания и содержания помещений в восточноевропейской стране.

17 апреля 1986 года патриаршее викариатство было преобразовано в самостоятельную Западноевропейскую епархию, втором центром которой становится Берлин. Епископ Симеон, возведённый в сан митрополита, становится её правящим епископом.

30 мая 1994 года епархия стала именоваться «Западно- и Среднеевропейской», а кафедра перенесена в Берлин.

Епархия имеет регистрацию как юридическое лицо согласно германскому гражданскому праву.

В связи с упразднением 27 ноября 2018 года Экзархата приходов русской традиции в Западной Европе и присоединении большей части его приходов к Русской православной церкви в 2019 году, четыре общины в Дании и Швеции перешли в состав Западно- и Среднеевропейской епархии.

 Симеон (Костадинов) (17 апреля 1986 — 1 декабря 2009)

Astronomers capture best image yet of a star other than the sun
See that photo above? It might look a lot hazier than the HD photos you're used to, but it's the best and most detail image of a star other than our own sun that we've captured thus far. A team of astronomers led by Keiichi Ohnaka have used ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer in Chile to map Antares, one of the largest known stars and the brightest in the Scorpius constellation. Antares, a red supergiant, is visible to the naked eye as a reddish, twinkling star, but we've never seen it this close before.
ESO's VLTI is a collection of four 8.2-meter telescopes and four smaller, 1.8-meter auxiliary telescopes. Together, the eight instruments form a massive virtual telescope 200 meter across. This capability allows the VLTI to spot the finer details the telescopes won't be able to see on their own.
Ohnaka says they chose Antares, because aside from the fact that its size makes it easier to observe than its smaller counterparts, it's still a mystery how big stars like it "lose mass so quickly in the final phase of their evolution." Mapping its surface and the movements of the gases in its atmosphere is "a crucial step towards clarifying this problem." It's also nice to have a close-up photo of Antares before it explodes in the next few hundred thousand years.
The red regions in the team's velocity map below represent gases moving away from us, while the blue sections are the gases approaching us:
Ohnaka says the technique can be "applied to different types of stars to study their surfaces and atmospheres in unprecedented detail." He added: "This has been limited to just the sun up to now. Our work brings stellar astrophysics to a new dimension and opens an entirely new window to observe stars."

VTV.vn - A patient with a brain tumor has successfully undergone surgery while conscious at Việt - Đức Hospital. This was the first time this type of brain surgery has been carried out in Vietnam.
The operation took 7 hours and received the support of Japanese experts.
This surgical method incorporates surgical doctors and anesthesiologists, using modern equipment to prevent damage to neurons related to speech and language processing. This method also requires the cooperation of the patient during surgery.
Before the operation, doctors provided the patient with a detailed explanation of the procedure in order to carry out the surgery successfully.

Will 2013 Be My Last Half Marathon?
I'm starting to give serious consideration to hanging up my running shoes after the 2013 Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. This will be my 4th time doing the race and it seems like every time I train for a half marathon, I run a personal best, but I also go into the race more injured than the previous race. Here's the breakdown of all my half marathons to date.
For the 2011 race, I was barely able to train because of my shin pain. That was my most painful race ever. I started hurting during mile 2 and it got worse the more I ran. By the end of the race, you couldn't hug me because everything hurt – including my internal organs hurt. I started using KT Tape when I was training for the 2012 race. I spent the last month of training with my leg taped up. By race day, I needed tape jobs on my leg and foot. This year I practically started training with my leg taped up and I added a foot tape job last week. I pulled back on the intensity of my training to let my legs rest a bit. My left leg did fine with last weekend's 6-mile run/walk but now my right leg and foot are starting to hurt too. It makes me wonder if it's time for new sport.
Before getting into running, I was a gymnast for 17 years. I love being athletic. I was a competitive gymnast for 8 years and I had a plethora of injuries – shin splints, knee problems, back problems, and chronic foot problems. When I retired from competition, I was recovering from a stress fractured lower back. My doctor suggested I take up yoga. I joined a regular gym and I tried it. I found weight lifting to be boring and yoga was challenging, but it gave me no sense of accomplishment. I missed the pounding of my hands and feet against the ground and doing flips. I haven't found a suitable substitute for gymnastics – there's nothing like it.
I've tried a few other sports but nothing's clicked for me. I fenced for 1.5 years in college and that was pretty fun. On the advice of my coaches, I took swimming as a PE class when I was in college. I really tried to like it but it did nothing for me. I really didn't like that I couldn't tell when I was sweating. When I moved to Phoenix, I got into hiking because I didn't think running was an option given my history with injuries. I enjoy getting out on the mountain trails, but it doesn't give the sense of satisfaction I want.
I openly admit that I don't like running – I like being a size 4. I've learned that I won't work out unless I'm training for something. With running, there's always a race I could sign up for. I appreciate that training for a half marathon puts me on a 12-week structured training program so I have to work out 6 day a week. But now I'm wondering if it's worth it to do it again after this race. If I give up running, I'll need to replace it with something…and I have no idea what that would be.

Q: Tarring files with mtime after a date and with grep Tons of threads out there, but nothing with that includes the entire hat trick. I'm trying to tar all files newer than 2019-06-30 (±760 days) in a directory tree, but ignore any directories with the name backup. I've looked at dozens of options and this is a close as I've gotten:
tar -cvzf newest-files.tar.gz --newer-mtime "760 days ago" client_images/ | grep -v 'backup'

This one does the proper filtering (date and ignore) but doesn't tar anything (empty archive error):
sudo find client_images/. -mtime -760 | grep -v 'backup'

Can't figure out to get the tar happening.
 | tar -cvzf files.tar.gz

What am I missing?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
This came from my system admin (who wishes to remain anonymous):
This command line will run the tar command for every file it finds,
create (-c) a new tar archive (always called newestfiles.tar.gz) for it and then tar and compress the file into that tar archive. So at the end you're left with one tar archive that contains the last file the "find" command found, all previous tar archives were overwritten (since it's always the same name).
To prevent this from happening you need to use the add (-r) instead of the create (-c) tar option. Unfortunately this doesn't work with
compression in one command, so that has to happen in a separate step.  And if you don't need compression, you can do it with just the one. So,
$ find client_images -type f -mtime -760 -exec tar -rvf newestfiles.tar
--exclude '*mcith'* {} \;
$ gzip newestfiles.tar

A: Try
find client_images -type f -mtime -760 -print0 | tar cvzf files.tar.gz --files-from=- --null --exclude=\*backup\*

This should instruct find to only match files, not directories, and output the names NUL-separated instead of lf-separated (ensuring strange filenames are handled safely). The reason is that tar will recurse down into directories on its own if given the chance.
The added options to tar ensure that the list of files to archive is read from stdin (--files-from=-), and are treated as NUL-separated (--null). --exlude will prevent it from archiving the unwanted files.
Oh, and I'm typing this on an ipad in bed, so this is all untested and may not work.

A: Before 2005, the method you are trying to use was appropriate, but since 2005, there is libfind and as a result, it is possible to integrate the features from find(1) into any program where it may help.
So please just try something like:
star -cz -f newest-files.tar.gz  -find client_images -mtime -760 ! -path '*backup*'

star is part of the schilytols and available as binary packet for every well maintained distribution.

Blizzident have invented the world's most efficient toothbrush, a denture that blitzes the teeth in 6 seconds.
Quartz reported today that the toothbrush is a combination of 3D scanning and 3D printing.
Getting your hands on one is relatively straightforward; you start by asking your dentist for an impression of your teeth. The results are digitized and uploaded to Blizzident, who then make an exact replica of the mould which is filled with tiny fibres that effectively wipe out the unwanted residue in your teeth.
While the whole tooth brushing process takes only 6 seconds, at $300 a 'toothbrush' – saving that amount of time and teeth might just be worth the investment.
