October 9th, 2020 - Update on the issue of rats in Applewood
At the October 8th, 2020 Region of Peel Council meeting a 12 -month pilot project to address the rat issue in the Region of Peel was approved.
This is very positive news for all residents in the Region of Peel and especially to those of the Applewood communities. The AHHRA members and residents initiated the great concern and the need for action to be taken by the Region of Peel and City of Mississauga in addressing this serious problem and the great impact it was having on the them for several years and even more so this past spring and summer of 2020.
On June 4, 2020 the AHHRA members and residents began to address this rat problem with the Region of Peel's Director of the Department of Healthy.
After weeks of communicating with the Region of Peel staff in addressing this disturbing problem in Applewood and asking for action to be taken to eliminate the rats from the area and properties as well as asking for a community meeting to be held for the residents to address their concerns it was agreed that a meeting would take place. On July 17, 2020, Ward 3 Councillor Fonseca then decided to address this matter which was being made known by the AHHRA and constituents in Ward 3.
A virtual community meeting was held on August 11, 2020 which was later followed by a motion requested by the AHHRA of Councillor Fonseca to present to Region of Peel Council. On September 10th, 2020 this motion was presented. A financial feasability report was needed to provide further information on what the cost to the Region would be for a rat/pest program to be implemented before it could be voted on and for this reason the decision on this motion was postponed to the October 8, 2020 Region of Peel Council meeting.
To view the Region of Peel's media release on this matter go to https://peelregion.ca/news/archiveitem.asp?year=2020&month=9&day=9&file=202099.xml
Thank you to all AHHRA members and residents who joined in this important community effort of which all residents of Peel will benefit from. With appreciation also to the Region of Peel Council members for understanding the great need for this rat/pest program and approving this motion.
Our efforts continue as we have communicated Councillor Fonseca asking for immeditate relief to the impacted residents in the Applewood area in dealing with the problem and for the City of Mississauga Property Standards by-law section 41 on Pest Prevention to be reviewed and include specific language to the matter of rat measures and enforcement.

April 7th, 2020 - Mayor Crombie meeting with Rate Payer Associations, Summary
Below is the summary of Mayor Crombie's teleconference meeting with the Rate Payer Associations in Mississauga on April 2, 2020.
Hello Ratepayer and Resident Associations,
Thank you for participating in yesterday's discussion. Your input helps us better understand the impacts of COVID-19 in local communities and neighbourhoods.
I also appreciated hearing your proposals and suggestions on how to address these challenges. I want to thank our Councillors, Dr. Lawrence Loh and representatives from Peel Region for participating in the discussion. We had well over 50 Resident and Ratepayer organizations that participated on the call.
Below is a summary from our discussion and attached you will find a list of community resources available to provide immediate support to seniors and others in your community who are in need. Please feel free to share this information with your members.
Resident Associations raised the following key themes:
• Many expressed concern about public disregard for social distancing at local parks, lakes, trails and other public areas. With parking lots locked, people are now parking cars on residential roads to access public spaces. To address this the City has installed signs in park facilities, removed basketball backboards and contracted security teams to patrol key park locations.
• Participants thanked Councillors and the Mayor for their approach and initiative on containing the spread of COVID-19. One participant said that there is comfort in knowing that all levels of government are cooperating and supporting each other.
• Resident and Ratepayer Associations are playing a leadership role when it comes to supporting seniors and vulnerable neighbours. Many have volunteers on hand to help deliver groceries and medications to their neighbours.
• Resident Associations continue to communicate (i.e. newsletters) with their membership, and in cases where residents don't use internet or have email accounts, some RAs are reaching out by phone or dropping off letters.
• Residents recognized the strain and need for social services such as food banks and access to mental health resources. Some wanted to volunteer to help those in most need.
Those interested in volunteering can sign up to help at Volunteer MBC: https://volunteermbc.org/ .
Those in need of mental health supports can access resources from the Region of Peel's site: https://www.peelregion.ca/coronavirus/social-support/#well
• To help with mental and physical health while staying indoors, the City's Recreation department has posted exercise videos on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MississaugaRec/ .
• Participants flagged the potential increase in domestic violence issues and they specifically asked for Police to undertake wellness checks.
• There was a recommendation to develop a system to check in on neighbours. One way would be to post coloured flags in home windows. Green means 'all is well', yellow would alert 'caution' and red flags signal a 'call for help'.
• Members expressed concern over increasing incidences of vandalism and speeding on the roadways. A suggestion included increasing Police patrols.
• There were many health-related questions asked about disinfecting groceries, wearing masks in public, holding community tree planting events or how to care for someone with COVID-19. Dr. Loh cautioned against tree planting and park clean ups as they encourage prolonged interaction.
• For members who are small business owners, the City's Economic Development Office offers free webinars: https://www.thefutureisunlimited.ca/event-tag/small-business/ as well as a Business Relief Portal https://www.thefutureisunlimited.ca/covid-19/ where businesses can use the selector tool to discover which federal and provincial supports apply to them. I encourage you to join us for the next Teletown Hall meeting on Wednesday, April 8th at 7:00pm.

You can join the session online by clicking the following link: www.mississauga.ca/livestreamevent or you can listen by telephone. Please dial 1-877-229-8493 and enter ID number: 115911.

March 23, 2020 - City of Mississauga Declares State of Emergency
Mayor Bonnie Crombie has declared a State of Emergency in the City of Mississauga in consultation with Mississauga City Council and the Office of Emergency Management.
The declaration supports the Province of Ontario's and Region of Peel's efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19.
Declaring an emergency under s 7.0.1 (1) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act provides the City of Mississauga with options to protect the health and safety of individuals and families living in Mississauga.
"Declaring an emergency will help us act quickly to manage the impacts of COVID-19 on our residents and business during this evolving situation," said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. "The health and well-being of our residents and employees is our priority. We are looking at the long-term impacts of this pandemic. Declaring an emergency along with the Region of Peel and the Province of Ontario will give us the flexibility we need as a municipality to manage the situation. We must be ready to act when needed and we must send a signal to all residents that this is an unprecedented situation that they must take seriously."
An "Emergency" is a situation or an impending situation that constitutes a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property and that is caused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise. (Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990,c.E.9)

March 1, 2020 - City of Mississauga's Noise Control By-Law Review Summary
Dear Applewood Residents,
The city's Noise Control By-Law Review community consultations and target group sessions have now ended.
The final day to complete the online Noise Review survey was Saturday, February 29th, 2020. ( As was also previously noted on the AHHRA website in the request for all residents to complete this survey.)
Below is a brief summary of the Noise Review Consultation process as was made known to the public from the City's information page at: https://yoursay.mississauga.ca/noise-control?tool=survey_tool
There were 6 separate community consultations held at various locations in the City of Mississauga during the month of January 2020 from 6 - 8 pm. The attendance at the above 6 sessions was not very high unfortunately; except for the session in Port Credit..
At two of the sessions there were @ 5 residents at each, at other there were @ 8, at one there were no attendees and in Port Credit there were well over 100 people who attended.
The purpose of these gatherings was to reach out to the public and inform them of the plans to review and revise the existing city's noise and nuisance by-laws and to ask for public input on what they (the public) view as the main noise nuisances/ concerns and to share ideas/input on how to improve in the revision of these by-laws.
The presentation that was shown at the Tomken Arena community consultation can be viewed by opening the attachment to this email. Following this power-point presentation, the discussion took place followed by a question and answer period.
Additional points that were noted at this session were the noise nuisances of power machines/equipment, shouting and swearing.
Attendees also expressed the need for more quiet hours in the neighbourhoods. Finally, concern was expressed on the fact that once the online survey was completed and submitted there was no indication/confirmation of it being successfully sent.
The City staff replied that these points would be considered and looked into.
In addition to these 6 community sessions, there were 3 target group sessions during the first 2 weeks of February.
These target groups were for the Ratepayer Associations, the Construction companies and the BIA's. The 3 sessions were again for about 1.5 - 2 hours. Attendance for these was @ 6 people at the RA, 3 at the Construction session and @ 10 at the BIA one.
As was told to attendees at the ratepayer's session in early February: By that time there were 2,815 submitted online surveys.
From the submitted surveys as well as from the overall responses given by residents from the community consultations, the major noise concerns to most residents come from construction, traffic and fireworks. And, approximately 58% of these online surveys that had been submitted by that time, it was recorded that residents do not support construction hours to be permitted on Sundays.
Online, there is no final date provided by the City for online survey submissions however, after asking about this, we have been informed that February 29th was the final day to complete the online survey.
Once the surveys have been reviewed and the community and target group consultations have been considered, a proposed revised Noise by-law will be presented to the City Councillors at a General Committee Meeting for discussion. No date has been provided yet as to when this will be.
After it has been addressed and discussed at the General Committee meeting by Councillors and any proposed changes that need to be made are completed, it will again be presented to City Councillors for their approval/vote.
From what is known to date, this is expected to happen in May 2020.
Any updates to the above will be shared with AHHRA members.

Pinus echinata oder die Fichtenkiefer ist ein immergrüner Nadelbaum aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) mit meist 6 bis 11 Zentimeter langen, meist in Zweier- oder Dreiergruppen angeordneten Nadeln und 4 bis 7 Zentimeter langen Samenzapfen. Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet liegt im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten. Die Art ist nicht gefährdet und ein wirtschaftlich wichtiger Holzlieferant, wird jedoch kaum gärtnerisch genutzt.

Beschreibung

Erscheinungsbild
Pinus echinata wächst als immergrüner, 35 bis 40 Meter hoher Baum mit einem Brusthöhendurchmesser von bis zu 160 Zentimetern. Der höchste bekannte Baum wurde 1980 mit einer Höhe von 42 Metern und einem Stammdurchmesser von 1,1 Metern vermessen. Die Stammborke ist dunkelbraun, leicht harzig und zerbricht in unregelmäßig rechteckige Platten. Dir Krone ist ei- bis kuppelförmig. Die Äste stehen waagrecht und sind besonders bei Bäumen in Wäldern dünn und kurz. Nadeltragende Zweige sind dünn und mehr oder weniger hängend. Junge Triebe sind rötlich braun, häufig bläulich überlaufen und färben sich später rotbraun bis grau. Sie sind unbehaart und nach dem Verlust der Nadeln durch bleibende Pulvini rau. Es werden ein bis vier Harzkanäle gebildet.

Knospen und Nadeln
Die Knospen sind eiförmig bis eiförmig-zylindrisch, 5 bis 10 Millimeter lang und sehr harzig. Die Nadeln wachsen in Paaren oder zu dritt in einer 10 bis 15 Millimeter langen Nadelscheide und bleiben drei bis fünf Jahre am Baum. Sie sind gelblich grün, graugrün oder dunkelgrün, biegsam, gerade oder leicht gebogen, selten ab 5 meist 6 bis 11 und manchmal bis 12 Zentimeter lang und etwa 1 Millimeter breit. Der Nadelrand ist fein gesägt, das Ende kurz spitzig. Auf allen Nadelseiten gibt es schmale Spaltöffnungslinien.

Zapfen und Samen
Die Pollenzapfen wachsen spiralig angeordnet in kleinen Gruppen. Sie sind zylindrisch, 15 bis 20 Millimeter lang, blass purpurn grün bis gelb und färben sich später hellbraun. Die Samenzapfen wachsen einzeln oder in Wirteln von zwei bis vier. Sie sind kurz gestielt oder beinahe sitzend, 4 bis 7 Zentimeter lang, geschlossen schmal eiförmig bis eiförmig-länglich und geöffnet breit eiförmig bis eiförmig-länglich mit abgeflachter Basis. Die 75 bis 100 selten auch 120, schaufelförmigen Samenschuppen sind dünn und holzig, unelastisch, grün und bei Reife gleichmäßig stumpf braun. Die Apophyse ist leicht erhöht und scharf quer gekielt. Der Umbo ist mit einem festen, kurzen Stachel bewehrt. Die Samen sind ellipsoid, 6 bis 7 Millimeter lang, grau und schwarz gefleckt, mit einem ähnlich gefärbten, 12 bis 15 Millimeter langen Samenflügel.

Chromosomenzahl
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt wie bei allen Kiefern 2n=24.

Entwicklung
Pinus echinata bildet meist erst nach etwa 20 Jahren Samen, obwohl auch schon auf fünfjährige Exemplare männliche und weibliche Zapfen beobachtet wurden. Größere Mengen von Samen werden erst von Bäumen mit Stammdurchmessern von zumindest 30 Zentimetern gebildet. Die Samenabgabe beginnt Ende Oktober oder Anfang November, wobei je Zapfen 25 bis 38 Samen gebildet werden. 70 Prozent der Samen werden im ersten Monat, 90 Prozent nach zwei Monaten freigesetzt. Die Sämlinge keimen epigäisch, nachdem die Samen am Boden überwintern konnten. Es gibt Hinweise, dass ein Teil der Samen erst nach dem zweiten Winter zu keinen beginnt, doch gibt es dafür keine Bestätigung. Junge Pflanzen können am Beginn ihrer Entwicklung eine Pfahlwurzel bilden, doch werden aufgrund der Bodenverhältnisse meist nur seitliche Wurzeln gebildet, die dann knapp unter der Oberfläche verlaufen. Junge Bäume haben ein jährliches Höhenwachstum von 30 bis 90 Zentimetern.

Verbreitung, Ökologie und Gefährdung

Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet von Pinus echinata liegt im Osten und Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten und erstreckt sich über 22 Bundesstaaten von New York und Illinois  bis in den Osten von Texas und nach Florida. Außerhalb des natürlichen Verbreitungsgebiets wird sie in China forstwirtschaftlich genutzt. Die Art wächst in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung im Tiefland in Höhen von 150 Metern bis zu den Gebirgsausläufern der Appalachen in etwa 600 Metern Höhe. Sie fehlt jedoch im Tal und dem Mündungsgebiet des Mississippi und entlang eines schmalen bis teilweise auch breiten Streifens entlang des Golfs von Mexiko und des Atlantischen Ozeans und im größten Teil von Florida. Die nördliche Grenze des Verbreitungsgebietes wird durch eine mittlere Jahrestemperatur von 10° Celsius bestimmt, die südliche Grenze durch eine Niederschlagsmenge von etwa 1000 Millimeter, die mehr oder weniger gleichmäßig über das Jahr verteilt ist. Sie wächst auf einer Vielzahl verschiedener Bodentypen, die jedoch meist eine gewisse Wasserspeicherfähigkeit, sandig-lehmige oder schlickig-lehmige Beschaffenheit und eine gute Entwässerung aufweisen. Pinus echinata bildet manchmal Reinbestände, wird jedoch meist durch Laubbäume wie beispielsweise Eichen (Quercus) begleitet. In Gebieten mit nur dünner Bodendecke fehlen die Laubbäume und die Art wächst zusammen mit anderen Nadelbäumen. Man findet sie auch zusammen mit Pinus taeda, die ein ähnliches Verbreitungsgebiet hat, aber meist auf feuchteren Böden vorkommt. Das Verbreitungsgebiet wird der Winterhärtezone 8 zugeordnet mit mittleren jährlichen Minimaltemperaturen von −12,2 ° bis −6,7 °Celsius (10 bis 20 °Fahrenheit).

In der Roten Liste der IUCN wird Pinus echinata als nicht gefährdet ("Lower Risk/least concern") eingestuft. Es wird jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass eine Neubeurteilung notwendig ist.

Systematik und Forschungsgeschichte
Pinus echinata ist eine Art aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus), in der sie der Untergattung Pinus, Sektion Trifoliae und Untersektion Australes zugeordnet ist. Sie wurde 1768 von Philip Miller erstmals wissenschaftlich beschrieben. Der Gattungsname Pinus wurde schon von den Römern für mehrere Kiefernarten verwendet. Das Artepitheton echinata stammt aus dem Lateinischen, verweist auf den Igel und bedeutet so viel wie "stachelig". Es ist jedoch unklar, welche Teile der Pflanze Philip Miller damit gemeint hat. Synonyme der Art sind Pinus lutea , Pinus mitis , Pinus royleana , Pinus squarrosa , Pinus taeda var. echinata , Pinus taeda var. variabilis , Pinus variabilis  und Pinus virginiana var. echinata .

Die Art bildet natürliche Hybride mit Pinus taeda und Pinus rigida. Kreuzungsversuche mit Pinus elliottii, Pinus pungens und Pinus palustris waren erfolgreich.

Verwendung
Pinus echinata ist im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten sowohl aus natürlichen Beständen als auch aus forstwirtschaftlichen Plantagen ein wichtiger Holzlieferant. Das Holz hat eine hohe Qualität, ein orangefarbenes bis gelblichbraunes Kernholz und creme-gelbes Splintholz. Es wird zur Herstellung von Bahnschwellen, als Bauholz, für Paneele, Möbel, Sperrholz und Zellstoff für die Papierindustrie verwendet. Das Holz aus forstwirtschaftlichen Plantagen wird meist zur Herstellung von Papier genutzt.

Die Bäume werden auch als Abgrenzung und Schutz von Wohngebieten gegen Autobahnen gepflanzt. Sonst hat die Art kaum gärtnerische Bedeutung.

What I see on the roads is appalling. Why would anyone think that the road belongs to them and that someone out there is always looking out for them? Again, my observations whilst running has me wondering why there aren't more accidents and assaults given the lack of AWARENESS and the level of DISTRACTION on the part of runners, cyclists, and motorists. If increasing our awareness around the obvious distractions, i.e. cellphones, tourists, delivery bikes and bike messengers were enough to keep us safe, there would be very few incidents to report. Sadly, the level of vigilance necessary to run safely today is troubling but worth talking about.
It is critically important to wear reflective gear day or night. Never assume anyone sees you. I do not recommend running with headphones or listening to loud music particularly if you are running alone. I don't recommend running alone in general, and never at night or pre-dawn but if you do, you must be aware and prepared. It is in everyone's best interest to have self-defense training, particularly if you live in a city as most of us do or if you run alone. I had a runner tell me yesterday of a strung out person coming at her with force and her narrow escape (thankfully she was paying attention and is a fast runner) It wasn't the first time she'd outrun a drug addict and as things are going, it won't be the last. I too, experienced an attack not long ago while waiting for the light to change. A woman I thought was crossing the street toward me, came at me very suddenly and punched me in the stomach! It is reported that an assault takes place every two minutes. I am now paying ever closer attention to my surroundings and making no assumptions that things are normal out there.
If you are in New York this week, NYRR (New York Road Runners) is hosting a series of events at The Run Center ( 57th Street off 8th Ave.) having to do with staying safe on the street.

Updated 2020-12-08T15:52:19+00:00 -
No translations currently exist.
Following up on our September 2019 announcement of the creation of CentOS Stream, we are now announcing that our sponsorship of CentOS Linux will be changing in December 2021. We have worked with the CentOS Project Governing Board as part of this change.
CentOS Stream is an upstream development platform designed for CentOS community members, Red Hat partners, ecosystem developers, and many other groups to more quickly and easily see what's coming in the next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and to help shape these capabilities. Since its introduction in 2019, we've seen great enthusiasm from partners and contributors around CentOS Stream and the continuous stream of innovation that the project provides.
On December 8, 2020, we are announcing this timeline for CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream sponsorship by Red Hat:
There will not be a CentOS Linux 9.
Updates for the CentOS Linux 8 distribution continue until December 31, 2021.
Updates for the CentOS Linux 7 distribution continue as before until June 30, 2024.
Updates for the CentOS Linux 6 distribution ended November 30, 2020.
CentOS Stream 9 will launch in Q2 2021 as part of the RHEL 9 development process.
Updates for the CentOS Stream 8 distribution continue through the full RHEL support phase.

Home/Lifestyle/Social Media 'Peer Pressure' Has Played a Major Role In Convincing Us To Wear Sunscreen Every Day, and Dermatologists Are Grateful
Social Media 'Peer Pressure' Has Played a Major Role In Convincing Us To Wear Sunscreen Every Day, and Dermatologists Are Grateful
In 2018, I noticed a Tweet from esthetician Tiara Willis, aka @makeupforwomenofcolor, urging of us to "always wear sunscreen." And truthfully, though I'd heard dermatologists spouting the identical commandment eternally, it was actually the primary time I had ever thought of the significance of day by day sunscreen use.
I purchased an SPF-30 sunscreen (which is what derms suggest for day by day use) and began making use of it each morning—and I'm not the one one who's been (fairly actually) influenced to alter their conduct. On Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, the sunscreen chat is limitless, and it's created a optimistic form of peer stress that's lastly satisfied individuals to get on board with sporting it every single day.
Sunscreen is trending
There was a time, not way back, after we had been all dashing to tanning beds and saving the SPF for after we had been on a tropical trip—regardless of dermatologists telling us to do higher. The primary notable cultural shift in solar safety attitudes got here in 1981 when Most cancers Council, an Australian non-profit, launched its Slip, Slop, Slap marketing campaign, says board-certified dermatologist Aegean Chan, MD, who owns a follow in Santa Barbara, California.
This anti-skin most cancers initiative inspired individuals to "slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat" when outdoor. Dr. Chan caveats that this was nonetheless limiting sunscreen utility to the "trip mode" pretext, that means it wasn't emphasised as a day by day follow. Within the 40 years since, although, she's observed that folks have begun to contemplate the significance of day by day SPF utilization because of the content material surrounding it.
Dermatologists agree that though we've lengthy been conscious that we ought to be sporting sunscreen—which is the primary line of protection towards melanoma pores and skin cancers and indicators of seen pores and skin getting old, like wrinkles and darkish spots—social media has influenced us to really do it. "We've recognized for many years that defending your pores and skin from the solar prevents pores and skin most cancers and different harm to the pores and skin," says Dr. Chan. "However with social media, you'll be able to visually present individuals, 'Hey, should you're not sporting your sunscreen every single day, that cumulative solar harm will make your pores and skin appear to be this."
Dermatologists agree that social media has led to elevated sunscreen peer stress.
Influenced by SPF
Based on the professionals, a lot of this alteration in notion comes right down to training. "Social media has helped to normalize sunscreen use and has offered a lot training surrounding the subject," says Lindsey Zubritzky, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Pennsylvania with greater than 673k followers on TikTok. "Quick video platforms like TikTok and Instagram permit dermatologists to successfully and shortly educate on sunscreen whereas making the subject accessible to all and straightforward to digest."
On TikTok, the hashtag "sunscreen" has 3.2 billion views as of this writing (and one other 3.1 million posts on Instagram). Its extra aggressive sibling, aka #WearSunscreen, has 117.4 million views on TikTok and 125k posts on Instagram. One person not too long ago shared a stitched TikTok that stated "put on sunscreen or go to jail," which garnered greater than 40,000 likes and 1,600 feedback. One in every of caps says, "Put on sunscreen every single day. Everybody. RN." Different movies present what occurs while you do put on sunscreen day by day—like this one, captioned, "Begins sporting sunscreen at age 14; has a child face at age 38." Somebody commented, "I'm going to place my face in a bowl of sunscreen."
"This training [on social media] is altering behaviors, and peer stress is encouraging individuals to put on sunscreen usually," says Muneeb Shah, DO, who usually shares SPF content material together with his 16.6 million TikTok followers. He was identified with pores and skin most cancers when he was 21 years outdated, and has been pushing the significance of day by day sunscreen utilization on-line since he first began creating content material in 2019. He likens the impact that such a content material has had on his followers to the peer stress that people who smoke obtained to stop their behavior.
And the numbers again up his claims: Extra persons are sporting sunscreen now as a day by day behavior (or are a minimum of contemplating it), as evidenced by a number of current research. A 2021 evaluation printed by the Cureus Journal of Medical Science examined developments in sunscreen use amongst U.S. center and highschool college students from 2007 to 2019, discovering that sunscreen use in adolescents elevated by 4 p.c in these 12 years. Furthermore, a examine within the Worldwide Journal of Environmental Analysis and Public Well being discovered that "social media interventions have proven promise in pores and skin most cancers prevention" largely by rising consciousness of solar harm in addition to rising the demand for sunscreen.
We've reached peak sunscreen
The shift within the understanding of the significance of day by day SPF has created an uptick in demand for higher, extra cosmetically-elegant formulation that folks will really need to put on every single day—and the trade has responded accordingly.
"Social media conversations have fueled this explosion of selections and what number of sunscreens can be found to shoppers," says Dr. Chan. "Supergoop! was one of many first firms that actually put an emphasis on cosmetically elegant, daily-wear sunscreens. And with the best way the markets are going, the larger firms take discover and broaden their choices," which, in fact, isn't a foul factor.
It's simple: the stress to put on sunscreen has had some impact on the formulations out there.
Supergoop! might have led the cost with the launch of its on a regular basis SPF merchandise in 2007, however there's been an explosion on this section of the trade over the course of the previous few years. Though the sunscreen market was already raking in a whopping $13 billion in 2019, it's now predicted to hit $14.7 billion {dollars} by 2028. We've seen improved mineral formulation that don't go away chalky casts, a brand new class of glow-inducing merchandise that really feel extra like make-up than sunscreen, and smarter SPFs that go above and past to battle previous and future indicators of pores and skin harm. All of those improvements make integrating sunscreen into your day by day routine simpler than ever earlier than.
What's extra, magnificence manufacturers throughout the board have seized the chance to get in on the SPF sport. In 2017, Garnier Fructis, a model that's finest recognized for its hair care, launched a 3-in-1 product that blends a serum, moisturizer, and SPF. Pores and skin-care manufacturers not historically related to solar care, like Summer time Fridays, Nécessaire, and Zitsticka have additionally crept into the sunscreen occasion—differentiating their merchandise by together with good-for-skin substances of their formulation.
In June, Summer time Fridays launched Shade Drops, a hydrating sunscreen with plant-derived squalane and antioxidants. Extra not too long ago, Nécessaire—which generally makes physique washes and lotions—put out its hyaluronic-acid-and-niacinamide infused brightening sunscreen, and Zitsticka, a model recognized for its zits patches, launched its personal breakout-fighting SPF. These are just some examples, however take a peak on the cabinets of Sephora or Ulta, and also you're assured to see an entire lot extra.
"I like how a lot selection there may be in sunscreens these days," Dr. Zubritzky says. "Sunscreens used to get a foul rap for being chalky, white, sticky, or greasy, which might alienate so many individuals, significantly individuals of coloration." Now although? "There may be fairly actually a sunscreen for any pores and skin kind, tone, texture, or age," provides Dr. Zubritzky.
For those who ask me, that's no accident—so let's preserve these conversations going.

The DT Swiss Alpine III is the spoke with the best stiffness-to-weight ratio, which is achieved by a complex manufacturing process. Starting with a 2.34 mm spoke, the diameter of the thread is reduced to 2 mm in a cold-forging process, and to 1.8 mm at the centre.
Awesome spokes, built up wheel and it has remained true and held its tension for 3 years with no adjustment on 25kg e-bike.
Super Qualität. Sehr schnelle Lieferung.
Making up my first touring rims, both front and back and after much research I found the DT Swiss Alpine 111 to be the spokes of choice for many wheel builders. My spokes arrived from Rose about one week after ordering and considering the distance involved and different languages and currency, they have themselves another loyal customer.
The all three different sizes spokes came in their own plastic sleeves and were a cinch to lace up my first two wheels ever.
Diese Speiche verbaue ich seit Jahren immer mal wieder in Laufrädern mit hoher Belastung, wenn die Länge verfügbar ist. Mir ist noch keine gerissen. Mit hoher Belastung meine ich Scheibenbremsen und sehr hohe Beladung.
Der verstärkte Bogen ist oft die Rettung an manchen Naben mit Speichenkillerflansch (zu dünn und aus Stahl).
Wenn die Länge nicht verfügbar ist sollte man natürlich eine ED-Speiche nehmen, also einfach 2,34-2,0, denn der verjüngte Mittelteil ist natürlich zum kürzen und dann notfalls ein 1,8mm Gewinde drauf Rollen eher weniger optimal. Deshalb konnte ich sie leider nicht in Dreirädern und Anhängern testen, wo hohe Seitenkräfte auf 20"-Räder wirken.

Former Aston Villa defender Antonio Luna dropped by Eibar for Leganes friendly after sex tape leaked
The La Liga club have excluded Luna and teammate Sergi Enrich from their squad for the friendly against Leganes with the woman reportedly filing a complaint

Former Aston Villa star Antonio Luna and Eibar teammate Sergi Enrich have been left out of today's squad for the friendly against Leganes after a sex tape leaked showing them engaging in a threesome with an unnamed woman.
The pair have since apologised but the woman involved has filed a complaint against the two players with the Ertzaintza (local police), according to Spanish reports.
The women is filmed having sex with the players but appears to object to being filmed. "For, that no," she reportedly says during the recording.
Enrich expressed his "regret" about the incident, conceding "it could damage his image, but especially the club." The player also admitted the footage "may have offended the fans and the city of Eibar in general."

Luna, 25, joined Villa in 2013 but his stint in the Midlands was underwhelming and he made just 18 appearances for the club before joining Eibar two years later.
A joint apology issued on Enrich's Twitter account said: "In light of the circulation on social media of a sexually explicit video in which we, the undersigned, appear, we want to state that the video shows a recording of a private act which took place between fully consenting adults, within the scope of the freedoms we all enjoy.
"We deeply regret that an indiscretion for which we are not responsible has led to these images being published without our knowledge or, far less, our consent.

"We likewise regret the potential damage [not only] to our image but in particular to that of our club, whose colours we represent, and that it could have offended our supporters and the city of Eibar in general.
"We are aware that professional footballers should set an example in every walk of life, especially to children; this being the reason we apologise if this incident has caused harm to anyone.
"Equally, we want to apologise for the damage the circulation of this video could cause to the third person involved in the video.

"We wish to stress that, as Eibar players, an exemplary club that represents a set of fans and a city equally exemplary, we stand by the values that have been shown to us since we arrived in Eibar. We hope this incident does not in any way harm the image of the club, nor that of our team-mates.
"Sergi Enrich and Antonio Luna."

This is one of the lowerest priced bangers on Puffing Bird, but it doesn't mean it's worst than others! Since this is one of the most basic designs, the time we spent making these are less than the others, that's why they are cheap! But with the thick walls and extra thick bottom, this piece holds heat like a champ!
Very thick. Just as described. Very fast shipping. Thank you!
works great! wish it had a handle though.
Worth the wait! Exactly what I was looking for.

Q: Find value in CSV column, return line number of the value I have a CSV file with contents:
scenario1,5,dosomething
scenario2,10,donothing
scenario3,8,dosomething
scenario4,5,donothing

I would like to take the contents of a variable to firstly see if it is in the first column, if true - I would like to get the row number where it is found and the entire line contents. There will be no duplicate values in column 1 of the csv.
I can partly do the first step which is to find if the variable is in the csv, returning the whole line.
import csv
filename = csv.reader(open('/file.csv', "rb"), delimiter=",")
v = 'scenario1'
for row in configfile:
    if 'v' in row[0]:
        print row

The results I receive would be:
['scenario1','5','dosomething']

But I need assistance with the second part please. This is to find the row number.

A: Try this:
import csv
with open("ooo.csv", "r") as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    for line_num, content in enumerate(reader):
        if content[0] == "scenario1":
            print content, line_num + 1

Or without csv module:
with open("ooo.csv") as f:
    for l, i in enumerate(f):
        data = i.split(",")
        if data[0] == "scenario1":
            print data, l + 1

Output:
['scenario1', '5', 'dosomething'] 1

Poison Ivy directed by Sophie Black

With a love for the DC Batman villain Poison Ivy, the filmmaker feels as though she has long been underrepresented in film so are producing a fan film that brings the character front and centre. This film is not endorsed by DC in any way - it's simply a passion project by people who adore the subject matter and stars Aislinn De'Ath & Robert Dukes in the lead roles.

Local filmmakers fundraising for Poison Ivy fan film
By midlandsmovies, Feb 16 2018 04:52PM
Since her introduction in 1966, Poison Ivy remains one of the most popular Batman villains of all time yet has been strangely underrepresented in modern cinema. With her only notable big screen appearance being in Batman and Robin (played by Uma Thurman), her portrayal was less than pleasing for many fans and critics alike.
Well, local fans and filmmakers want to set that record straight by giving Ivy her own starring role in an upcoming fan film. Sophie Black, Aislinn De'Ath and Robert Dukes want to be faithful to the source material from the comics yet still palatable for modern audiences.
The screenplay was written by De'Ath and is inspired by Ivy's graphic novel appearances and an award-winning cast and crew are already attached to the project and ready to begin filming.
First though the group are launching a crowd-funding campaign where fans can make pledges to be involved - from executive producer to donations towards the materials to make Ivy's costume. Monies raised will also be put towards production design, location and marketing costs. With a goal of £2,800 to be raised, the film shoot will take place in February 2018.
Aislinn De'ath will be playing Poison Ivy and has appeared in numerous short films, including The Dress in 2015, which won her the Best Actress award at Festigious Film Festival whilst Robert Dukes joins the case as Bruce Wayne. Robert has played a charming yet dangerous antagonist in Surveilled and a soldier in World War 2 drama The Code.
The film is being helmed by Nottingham director Sophie Black who is also working on here next release which will be the ambitious fantasy short Songbird, starring The X Factor's Janet Devlin. Joining Sophie is Sarah-Jane Lyon (make-up), Charlotte Ball (production designer)
For more information please check out their official campaign page here - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-poison-ivy-fan-film-fantasy

Local filmmaker ready to take you to another world
By midlandsmovies, Jun 6 2017 04:26PM
With the release of Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming in the Summer of 2017, interest in the web-slinging superhero is at an all-time high. After a deal that saw Spidey enter the MCU from a property owned by Sony, fans are anticipating a great first adventure during the blockbuster season.
However, the biggest fan might just be right here in the Midlands as Leicester filmmaker Joey Lever is set to launch his own fan-film based around the infamous New Yorker. Now we're "tingling" with excitement, we swing by to find out more about the ambitious production.
In early 2017, Joey Lever won a Midlands Movies Award for his sound mixing work on his film Paper Plane which began a successful start to a year that looks set to explode for the local filmmaker.
His new superhero fan film is Spider-Man: Another World and it is in fact part of a larger shared universe he has created with fellow fans. Taking an idea from Marvel themselves, Lever has named it "The strand of web, web series" which includes 3 films and one short.
DiGitiLhEaRt & PavillionArts are the studios who have invested in his vision and Joey's new project has also seen him working with many of the region's most talented creatives, including Gatling Gun Productions who also hail from Leicestershire.
With the trailer just launched in June (see YouTube video above) Joey Lever says "We are so excited to hear what [fans] think about it as this been such an amazing experience to step back into the shoes of Peter Parker. This time trying to make a fan film that is different and we are so proud of the outcome".
Also supporting the production is comic book artist Marc Ducrow who has designed the film's poster.
Updating via the movie's Facebook page, Joey goes on to add, "As a child I was always fascinated by the idea to tell stories in different ways. I spent many years growing up drawing, acting out little sequences I thought up before bedtime. This blossomed into my love of film making. Every film you see of mine will be made with my heart and soul".
Based in Leicester, Joey is a self-taught freelance filmmaker & cinematographer and has been lucky enough to work internationally on projects in the USA, South America, Australia and Germany
As well as writing and directing Lever himself stars in the action-drama alongside local talent Jak Lionel Beasley, Lauren Baxter, Gill Broderick, Wade James Keeling and Carley Lightfoot.
We'll be keeping a close eye on the film's development as it comes to launch and follow the movie's updates on the official pages below.

post-title Eamonn Rea's bar in now 'P. Duggan's.
Home / 2017 / Eamonn Rea's bar in now 'P. Duggan's.
Eamonn Rea's on Parkgate Street has changed it's name to 'P. Duggan's'. It's still under the same ownership and management. They've just opted to change the name to put their own stamp on the bar.
Ger, who runs P. Duggan's named the pub after his brother who passed away in 2008. It's a lovely way to remember a lost sibling.
In a post on facebook they explained the name change and the plans for the future.
We did a profile of Eamonn Rea's earlier this year as part of a story on 'Local's pubs' in the city. Link.
We wish them all the best and many years of success in the trade.

Oscar Health Insurance just opened its first clinic in Brooklyn — and the place looks just as slick as the startup's hipster-friendly app.
Patients who enter the new "Oscar Center" won't find administrators pushing papers behind a desk.
Instead, the administrators are loitering around a minimalist bar tapping on laptops, offering seats on comfy couches in a waiting area that's stocked with free juices, bottled water and Kind bars.
"We're paperless, although we can of course print anything out you like," says Dr. Harry Ritter, Oscar's VP of Care Delivery, who quietly opened the facility a week ago at 408 Jay St. in downtown Brooklyn.
Farther back, the 6,000-square-foot clinic has five exam rooms and three comfortably furnished "consult rooms" — most of them with big windows that have a distinctly "non-clinical" feel, Ritter notes.
"We wanted not to kill the 'human experience' in health care," Ritter says.
Oscar — whose co-founders include Josh Kushner, the younger brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared — has lately taken heat as its millennial-friendly marketing tactics have failed to stem losses.
In the first three quarters of this year, Oscar lost $128 million, more than the $105 million it lost in all of 2015, according to regulatory filings.
Nevertheless, Chief Executive Mario Schlosser says the Oscar Center — which will be operated in a partnership with Mt. Sinai Health System — is a key strategic move to set the startup apart from the competition.
In addition to walk-in appointments for run-of-the-mill ailments like sprained ankles or the flu, the facility offers basic mental health services, blood and urine testing and even yoga and nutrition classes.
The Oscar Center will likewise serve as a lab to test new approaches to care — for example, assigning doctors who have been communicating with patients through Oscar's app to treat those patients face-to-face instead of having random staff doctors assigned the task.
"When you have all the financing and all the operational control and all the innovation in one place, we can change things very quickly," says Niyum Gandhi, chief population health officer at Mt. Sinai.
In the coming year, the Brooklyn facility might become a primary care center for as many as 3,000 of Oscar's 60,000 New York City members, officials said.
The bigger idea, of course, is that it could be the start of a nationwide chain of clinics. This February, Oscar will begin offering group insurance to companies as it pivots away from the troubled exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act.
"We could put this into other locations, maybe even with big employers," Schlosser said, noting that 35 percent of large employers nationwide have worksite clinics.

It is no longer a surprise that the young Rapport tries something original in the opening. The only question that remains is where and how he will! This time he chose a rare line in the French Winawer.
8... c4 9.h4 Nc6 10.Qg3 fxe5 11.Nxe5 Nf6 12.Bf4?!
Black's opening surprise already payed off, perhaps White should have considered either 9.Be2 or 9.Qg3, but after this move White really can't count on an opening advantage any longer.
13.Nxc6 bxc6 14.Bc7 Qa4 15.Kd1?
Giving the bishop on c8 a breath of fresh air. Black is confidently seizing the initiative.
A multipurpose move. Black defends g7, thereby freeing the f6-knight and is ready to swing the rook over to b7 from where it may join the attack against the white king.
Reinforcing the bishop on e5. Black was ready to chop it off followed by c5 and d4 when the king on d1 would be feeling particularly uncomfortable.
A big transformation. A position with opposite coloured bishops has arrived in which Karjakin soon manages to take over the initiative. Black should have gone for one of the alternatives written above as now he lost the moment.
24... h6 25.Kd2 Qb5 26.a4 Qb7 27.a5 a6 28.Qg4 Qa7?
It feels strange to voluntarily give up the b-file.
31... Rc8 32.Reb1 Qa3 33.Rb7?
34.R1b2 Rxb7 35.Rxb7 Qxc2+ 36.Ke1 Qc1+ 37.Kf2 Qd2+ 38.Kf1!
Black resigned. White easily restrains the d-pawn before playing the decisive breakthrough g4-g5, and after hxg5, h6-h7. An unfortunate turn of events for Rapport who had a very pleasant advantage right out of the opening. For Karjakin, the 2009-winner of Wijk aan Zee, it's an important win on his way back up in the rankings!


Abomination whiskey starts its life as 12-18 month old peated island malt. At the Lost Spirits Lab, oak staves are seasoned with Late Harvest Riesling and used to further mature the whiskey with Bryan Davis' patent-pending technology. Because Riesling is matured in steel, the "used" oak staves exist only in their lab, creating a whiskey that probably shouldn't exist. 'The Sayers of the Law' is made using charred American oak. The Law clearly demonstrates the chimera nature of the Abomination whiskies, with Europe's signature island smoke mellowed considerably by the wood sugars and rich flavors of charred American oak. The nose is soft and rich, more burnt caramel sauce than burnt peat. The flavor follows the nose, with the smoke softened by a dose of oak and a dab of maple nut goodies.
