Hugh Jackman stars as Logan/Wolverine for the last time in "Logan.
For 17 years, Hugh Jackman has played the popular character of Logan/Wolverine for the 10 films in the "X-Men" franchise. This marks the longest span that an actor has portrayed a single character in the superhero movie genre. Not wanting the character to lose his magic, Jackman and director James Mangold ("The Wolverine") chose to make one final film to give the character a much deserved send off. Thankfully, fans who've been patiently waiting for a more brutal take on the character finally get the R-rated film they've been wanting that also has strong emotional weight.
Set in the year 2029, the X-Men are dead and Mutants haven't been born for over a decade. Logan, living on the Mexico border, struggles to take care of his mentor, Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who suffers from dementia. Meanwhile, Logan's slowly being poisoned by the adamantium metal within him and his healing powers are failing. Logan is then tasked with taking care of a mysterious mutant girl, Laura (Dafne Keen), who is on the run from a group of mercenaries. Reluctantly, he takes Laura and Xavier on a road trip to the Canadian border to get Laura to safety.
Logan (Hugh Jackman) carries Laura (Dafne Keen) away from the wreckage of an explosion in the new film, "Logan."
"Logan" is an emotionally draining film in the best way. Taking inspiration from films like "The Wrestler" and "Shane," Mangold crafted a unique take for a comic book film. The film feels more like a modern western than it does a superhero film with its brutal and grounded tone. Rather than have Logan fight a bunch of CGI robots to save the world, Mangold told a simple story about redemption and family that just so happened to feature superpowers.
The action scenes are handled very well, easy to follow and tell a story. Such as the opening of the film with Logan fighting off a group of thugs that were trying to steal car parts from him. This tells us where Logan is, in terms of his rage and how rusty he has become. Plus, it's just awesome to see Logan finally go full berserker mode where he shreds his opponents.
Jackman and Stewart are great as always. Both give heartbreaking performances where we see them at their lowest points. Keen also does a great job at letting her silence speak louder than any line of dialogue could. Jackman and Keen share some very powerful moments that are reminiscent of the video game "The Last of Us."
Logan (Hugh Jackman) walks across the parking lot of a hotel in the new film, "Logan."
The only thing that holds "Logan" back is the frustratingly convoluted timeline of the "X-Men" franchise. Despite the fact that Mangold has said that the events of "Logan" take place on its own timeline, the characters in the film still refer to events from the previous films. However, this issue isn't this film's fault.
"Logan" is easily one of the best comic book films of the past decade, and is the first comic book film since "The Dark Knight" that could be considered Oscar-worthy. With its emotionally driven direction and strong performances, viewers will be grateful, especially when it hits them that this is the last time that Jackman and Stewart will play these characters. It's a film that will make even the most seasoned viewers tear up as Johnny Cash's "A Man Comes Around" plays over the end credits.

Former teacher dodges jail time after injecting teen with COVID vaccine without parental consent
A former New York high school teacher avoids jail time after being accused of administering a COVID vaccine dose to a teenager without parental consent last year, Fox News Digital reported.
Laura Parker Russo, 55, admitted to injecting a 17-year-old boy with a Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine dose without his parents' knowledge at her residence in Long Island, New York. The teen, a friend of Russo's son, told his parents, who decided to report Russo to authorities.
Russo, a former science teacher at Herricks High School, testified that on December 31, 2021, she had asked a pharmacist for empty vials to use as Christmas ornaments. Instead, the pharmacist gave her four extra doses that were about to expire.
Neither the pharmacist nor the pharmacy that supplied Russo with the vaccine doses has been identified.
Following the accusation against Russo, Herricks Public Schools Superintendent Fino Celano stated that the teacher was "removed from the classroom and reassigned." Russo was later terminated from her position.
"Clearly, I should not have administered the J&J vaccine to anyone when I returned home with the vial containing four viable doses, but my son's friend said he was not vaccinated and wanted to be vaccinated," Russo said in the statement. "I thought he was 18, and I did not know that the J&J vaccination had not been approved for persons under 18. What I did was an egregious lapse of judgment that I deeply regret, but I did it to help a young man not to harm him."
Initially, the high school teacher faced the possibility of up to four years in prison when she was slapped with a felony charge of unauthorized practice of profession. Instead, Russo pleaded guilty on Friday to a misdemeanor count of attempting the unauthorized practice of medicine and a count of disorderly conduct.
The plea deal allowed Russo to avoid jail time, and she was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and placed on one year of interim probation. Judge Howard Sturim also ordered Russo to attend therapy twice weekly and to have no contact with the teen boy.
Should Russo fulfill the community service requirement, her misdemeanor charge will be vacated.
According to Brendan Brosh, a spokesperson for the Nassau County District Attorney's Office, the plea deal was offered to Russo "based on the defendant's long-standing ties to the community and her lack of a criminal record."
"It's nothing that was unexpected," Gerard McCloskey, Russo's attorney, told Newsday. "This is a disposition that we've discussed at length with both the court and the DA's Office. I think that we felt that it was in the interest of justice as well as in my client's best interest."
"As long as she's successful with what the judge laid out that she has to do, she'll have a non-criminal disposition," he continued. "She'll have a conviction for disorderly conduct, which is a violation, not a misdemeanor or a felony."
The teen boy's mother, Lisa Doyle, told Newsday she is unsure how to feel about the plea deal.
"I've known her for almost 20 years," Doyle said. "I don't think she understands that what she did was not right. Do I think she needs required jail time? I'm very mixed on that one. … But I'm glad it's over."

Book: The Chosen
The Chosen One Choosing the right university is one of the most important aspects that an incoming college student should consider besides the choice of course to pursue. Many institutions emerged in Cavite because it is one of the most industrialized provinces in the country. Some of well-known universities established here are: De La Salle University in Dasmarinas, Cavite State University Main-Campus in Indang (other campuses are located around the whole province), Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Maragondon, Far Eastern University in Silang, Lyceum of the Philippines University in General Trias, and many more.There are lots of eligible institutions to choose from but why did we choose Lyceum of the Philippines University? One of the reasons why we choose LPU is because of its good reputation earned through the years.
An institution without good management will never make its way in this industry nor will it survive. The Lyceum of the Philippines University system has five affiliate campuses located at Intramuros, Manila; Batangas City, Batangas; Calamba City, Laguna; City of Makati and General Trias, Cavite.Even though Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite-Campus just opened its doors to the public at year 2008, the numbers of enrollees boost because of its accessibility for us Cavitenos.
The institution is located at the center of Cavite, targeting students from different parts of the province from Bacoor to Tagaytay. Lyceum of the Philippines University offers undergraduate and graduate programs in various fields of study, including law, liberal arts, diplomacy, international trade and journalism, as well as engineering, business and accountancy, mass communication, tourism and hotel and restaurant management.Another reason why we chose LPU is because it offers in demand courses that produce competent professionals globally. The university was called as "The First and Only Resort Campus in the Philippines" due to its modern and elegant design. Aside from its unique structure, it also has complete facilities that would be really helpful for students' practical learning. All rooms are air conditioned and its sizes are just enough to accommodate an average number of students.
The university has different laboratories for outside class discussions such as Computer Laboratory, Mac Laboratory, Bayleaf Mini Hotel, Moot Court, Drawing Room, Dance Studios, Gymnasium and that which enhance students' talents and abilities. The university has two buildings named after Sotero H. Laurel and Jose P. Laurel that was connected by a new building forming the laurel leaf structure, earlier this year.The Academic Resource Center or the University Library was relocated and just opened its doors to students last summer of this semester.
The employees in this institution are really approachable and friendly. The security and maintenance personnel are always around the vicinity and it really shows that they are really dedicated to their work. The professors are professionals in their chosen field.
They are highly competent to produce another generation of professionals from this university.To sum up this, there are lots of aspects to take in to consideration in choosing the right educational institution. The university that you will choose will be a great influence in enhancing your knowledge and abilities but most importantly, your character the moment you enter college until you face the real world.
We chose Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite Campus as our alma mater because we believe that this educational institution will mold us into what we want to be. Viva Larga Pirata!

By Howard Marks CEO at StartEngine and co-founder at Activision/Blizzard.
It was only a matter a of time. There were clearly signs this was going to happen already out there when the SEC went after defunct "exchange" BitFunder. Today, the SEC made its biggest announcement yet: all the crypto exchanges are illegal unless they register with the SEC. Why is this important? It turns out the entire $400B cryptocurrency ecosystem is based on trading altcoins or utility tokens.
After Bitcoin was released in 2009, the only way to trade it was to meet a friend at a coffee shop, open your laptops, and take out cash from your wallet. This trade was effective but clearly slow and inconvenient. Others felt the same way, and entrepreneurs realized there needed to be a better solution.
One of the most famous places to trade Bitcoin was Mt. Gox, which originally was named Magic The Gathering Online Exchange to trade rare playing cards. This exchange evolved into trading Bitcoin exclusively. It was founded by Jed McCaleb and then sold to Mark Karpeles who moved the exchange to Japan. Mt Gox was hacked in February 2014 and lost $460M from thousands of investors.
In September 2017, Japan decided to regulate the exchanges and cleared 11 companies as registered operators of crypto exchanges. China decided otherwise and ordered all of the domestic exchanges to close by the 15th of the same month.
In the US, the largest exchange is Gdax, which is owned by Coinbase. Recently, Coinbase has been hit by a class action suit for leaking the announcement they were going to allow Bitcoin Cash to be purchased on Coinbase to a group of investors. Gdax made a real effort to show they were compliant with a home made set of rules by publishing a white paper on how they select altcoins to be traded on Gdax.
This effort was met with no resistance from regulators at the time. However, it is a demonstration of the defiance these so-called exchanges have against regulators by creating their own watered down set of rules. Next came the Bitcoin Cash insider job. Self-regulation does not work because there are no real-life consequences, such as criminal penalties.
So What Is Next for These "Exchanges"?
Clearly, the notice will be ignored by most exchanges that are located in the United States or operating in other countries while allowing U.S. persons to use their service. Companies ignored the SEC while selling utility tokens through Initial Coin Offerings and now probably regret it.
The all-powerful SEC has not been able to influence the world of operators of unregistered exchanges with published bulletins. Recently, the SEC issued 80+ subpoenas to a large number of companies who issued utility tokens, promoters who helped sell them and professionals who helped structure them. Will this be the same for exchanges? If history holds any lessons, the answer is a resounding YES.
The SEC has clearly told companies who want to provide trading services to investors to register their trading system as an exchange or use an exemption such as an Alternative Trading System (ATS). Many industry leaders have been talking about this for some time, and now conferences such as StartEngine's ICO 2.0 Spring Summit are dedicated to discussing crypto marketplaces through the lens of regulation and the path to liquidity for security tokens. However, registering an exchange can take many years, and frankly, there are only 20+ in the entire country. On the other hand, building an ATS is attainable in a short time by registering the company as a broker dealer and then applying for an ATS with the SEC.
This is clearly the future of trading. Today, tZERO (a StartEngine customer), which operates an ATS, has announced they raised over $100M with their ICO. Others have also announced they are working on an ATS that will trade crypto; however, none are live today. This gap is serious because should the SEC shut down most of the U.S. based exchanges, investors will have no place to trade their coins. Some coins such as Bitcoin may be not viewed as securities, but rather as rather a commodity, as the CFTC has proclaimed. This may allow investors to continue to trade Bitcoin, but the vast majority of coins will not have this benefit until 2.0 trading marketplaces launch.


If you take a ferry from Makarska to Sumartin on the island of Brač, you will first see this beautiful beach, and then just the bay and harbor where you leave the ferry. The beach is separated from the settlement, in a natural setting - among the rocks and pine trees. The pebble is in the middle, while the sides are decorated with stitched rocks, some suitable for sunbathing. The sea is extremely clean, quite calm and comfortable warm. Before you get packed - bring sunblocks, water, towels and, preferably, sunshade. There is no natural shade on the beach and the sunshade will be very enjoyable. Recommendation: Beach Bol on Brac.

Anelka: Misunderstood Review
In the new Netflix documentary, Nicolas Anelka tells the story of his career. Is it worth your time?
In the late 90s, talented French forward Nicolas Anelka burst onto the scene. A career laden with trophies and big money moves followed, but so did lots of controversy. This documentary from Franck Nataf gives Anelka free reign to give his side of the story; to finally explain the real person behind the headlines that jumped from the back to the front pages.
Anelka: Misunderstood takes us from the streets of Trappes, outside Paris, to the beginning of his training at the IMF (the French Football Academy) in Clairefontaine. The platitudes flow from luminaries such as Paul Pogba, Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera, and writer Henry Winter (along with French journalists I'm not familiar with). Anelka moves to Paris St Germain at 16 to start his career, and we see the real beginning of the Anelka footballing story. Unable to get a guarantee of first team football at 17, Anelka moves to Arsenal, a bold move for such a young player. Success followed at Arsenal (including scoring twice in the FA Cup Final to clinch a historic Double), but after missing out on the 1998 World Cup squad at the last moment, Anelka bristles at being unappreciated and a victim of great injustice. A year later he decides he wants to move to a bigger club, and with Juventus and Lazio interested, Real Madrid pay a record transfer fee for him and he is off to join Los Blancos. A rather nomadic career follows, with goals a plenty at many teams, but with a nagging feeling of never quite fulfilling the potential.
Early on in the documentary however, there are already signs of what will be a repeated issue throughout Anelka's career. Early on in his time at Arsenal, he had only been making the bench, and refused to get on the coach to go to an away game in Derby. Arsene Wenger had to talk to him for 20 minutes to get him to get on the team bus. An early injury meant Anelka was handed a chance, and he went on to set up two goals. I will leave it up to you to decide whether this proves Nicolas Anelka to be a special talent who would produce great performances with a bit of extra attention, or a petulant prima donna who demanded special treatment. Rather frustratingly, the documentary offers no counter-point to most of Anelka's claims.
Later, after failing to settle in Madrid, Anelka wants to talk to the coach before training one day. The coach says they will talk after the training session, and Anelka's response is to miss training, and the next day as well, despite the President of Real Madrid getting in touch with him personally. Similarly, when new France national team manager Jacques Santini comes to scout Anelka, he meets Anelka in the changing room after the match, and explains that he may not pick him for the next squad, because he does not know him. For Anelka, this is unacceptable. Again, prima donna behaviour, or a thoroughly justified reaction to a disrespectful snub, I leave the choice up to you.
My main problem with this documentary is actually with its subject. Nicolas Anelka is a good, but not a great player. He ended a long club career having played 671 games and scored 210 goals, and played 69 games for France, scoring 14 goals. He is the 16th highest goal scorer in Premier League history. He played more games for Chelsea than any other club, but I doubt any Chelsea fans would name him in any "Best Of" lists. When Thierry Henry calls Anelka "one of the greatest strikers in the world", it is clearly a quote taken out of context, and trying to portray him as such rings hollow. And although there is a seriously impressive number of former teammates and players to talk about him, I think it is telling that there is no fan involvement.
Similarly, he is just not enigmatic, maverick, or outright famous enough for a him to need this type of carte blanche to tell the story of his career. He just seems like a private person who had a (justifiably) very high opinion of his own skills, who feels hurt (justifiably) by the press intrusion that accompanied his high profile career. For example – his move to Bolton Wanderers. After a few nondescript years at Fenerbahce, Bolton brought him back to English football. At Bolton, he played well, scored goals, and was very highly regarded. There were no front page headlines, no paparazzi, and he played things the right way, signing a new contract to allow Bolton to sell him for a bigger transfer fee for few months later. Unsurprisingly, this part of his career barely features in the documentary. Once you say that he struggled with authority and being told no, it pretty much sums up the whole documentary. He is also not self aware enough to explain himself properly, and the lack of any probing (or holding him to account for his actions) from the documentary-maker becomes rather frustrating. There are very brief moments of insight into the man from Arsene Wenger, William Gallas, and his wife Barbara, but they are few and far between.
There are two controversial moments that do deserve further examination in Anelka's career. Firstly, in 2015 he was at West Brom, and after a good pre-season, he was brought off by manager Steve Clarke in the first game of the season, with the score at 0-0. To Anelka, this was a personal insult. Five defeats from the first five games saw Clarke fired. The first goal Anelka scored for West Brom soon followed the appointment of a new manager, and in celebration he gave a "quenelle" salute. This was a gesture made popular by Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, who had been condemned by the President of France a few days prior because of his anti-Semitic connotations. In fact, Dieudonné had already been convicted multiple times of anti-Semitic hate speech. Anelka claimed at the time that the gesture was done in support of his friend. In Anelka: Misunderstood, Anelka claims it was his way of telling Steve Clark to "shove it". He claims that because he lived in England with no French television, he had no idea what he did wrong. His response to people who say he is anti-Semitic? "Prove it".
The FA fined and banned Anelka, with the judgement that Anelka was not anti-Semitic, but the gesture was. For Anelka, this is a total vindication, and there is the suggestion in the documentary that the FA only acted because they were dealing with a lot of racial cases at the time. This is the part of the documentary that actually does Nicolas Anelka no favours at all. By allowing that much flawed logic to slide, uncontested, it becomes hard to take seriously as anything more than a puff piece.
(Also, if anyone has an ex-boss they did not get along with, I strongly urge you not to make an anti-Semitic gesture after they have left the business, I am not sure many HR departments will buy "the Anelka defence".)
This lack of credibility becomes an issue in the last section of the film, when Anelka revisits the World Cup in 2010. Raymond Domenech recalled Anelka back into the French squad for the first time in three and a half years, for a friendly, and from 2007 onward, Anelka was a first choice, forming a partnership with Thierry Henry. In the run up to 2010 however, after some disappointing warm-up games, he wanted to leave because he knew things were going to go wrong. He is persuaded to stay by Patrice Evra and Thierry Henry. After a frustrating draw in the first game of the World Cup, France are 0-0 at half time in the second game when Domenech questioned his positioning. Anelka didn't like it, because "he called me out by name as if I was guilty. As if I were public enemy number one. As if it were my fault. I took it as an attack… It was a big mistake. He had to know I was frustrated. He had to know that I was a volcano about to erupt." That is a lot to read into a manager shouting at an under-performing player. Anelka reacted badly, was substituted at half-time, France lost 2-0, the French players refused to train the next day, and went on to lose the final game against South Africa, when a two goal victory would still have put them through. Anelka became the lightening rod for the criticism, as the French media claim that he swore and insulted Domenech. Anelka again feels entirely vindicated when Domenech admitted later that Anelka did not insult him with exactly the words that were printed in the newspapers. This is Anelka's side of the story, and there is no-one to offer any dissenting opinion.
Nicolas Anelka lives in Dubai now, with this kids and wife. He has an idyllic life, and has done very well out of football and provided for his family by scoring goals for many different teams. Lots of his former team mates like him and he succeeded "despite having a knife at my neck for my whole career". He undoubtedly sacrificed and suffered throughout his career, and is frustrated that he was never able to give his own version of the events of this career. He was a quiet and private man throughout his career, but I honestly don't think this type of unchallenged hagiography does him any good. In fact it will probably underline everything the public already knows about Nicolas Anelka.
Anelka: Successful? Undeniably. Anelka: Complex? A bit. Anelka: Misunderstood? Not really.
Until next time, stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold. See you soonish.

Should I send holiday cards?
Yep, that's the question! Think about what gives you joy during the holidays. Narrow it down to a few activities that are the most meaningful to you. Does your short list include sending holiday cards? Now consider this: How much do you enjoy receiving them, and staying in touch with loved ones? Keep in mind that the fewer you send, the fewer you are also likely to receive over time. I love both sending and receiving holiday cards. However, if it will help de-stress your holidays, I say let it go! Guilt-free!
Still, things happen. I don't always get the cards sent, or not right away, or not to everyone I intended. I do use SendOutCards, the online service — featuring my own handwriting font and signature — but I still can't bear to send the same card, with a canned greeting, to every single person on my list, with one touch of a button, as advertised. I have different things I want to say to different people: my clients; friends I see in person frequently; old friends who live far away; business colleagues; etc. So it takes me longer than you might think.
Fortunately, I believe it's never too soon, or too late, to let someone know you are thinking of them. One way of spreading out the love, the gratitude, and the work involved, is to send them in batches throughout the season – Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, for example. If you miss the season altogether, there's always Valentine's Day!
How Many? How Much? What Kind?
Can't afford to send cards to everyone you know? Well, you have two choices: 1) prioritize your list and send to only the truly most important people in your life, or 2) find cheaper ways to do it. I spend around $1.50 on each card, including postage. And I know hundreds of people, so not everyone gets a card. But for the ones who do, I think of it as a tiny little gift, not an obligation.
In order of preference here's what I like to receive: Cards that include gift cards (lol!); handmade cards; paper cards with handwritten personal notes; photo cards (I prefer the ones of the whole family to the ones of just the kids); paper cards that I can display, maybe keep, or make little boxes and gift tags out of. Pre-printed cards without even a signature are less personal, but least I know you're still alive, busy, and trying to simplify card sending! Newsletters are always welcome. The cheapest, of course, in terms of both time and money, are e-cards, e-mails, and social media greetings. I can't decorate with them, but it's always nice to know someone thought of me!
I personally love the salutations "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays", not because they are politically correct, but because they refer to ALL of the winter holidays collectively (for me, Thanksgiving thru New Year). I am more likely to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy New Year" the closer we get to those actual days. If you are Jewish and want to wish me a "Happy Hanukkah", I will simply be grateful that you are wishing me well! The word "holiday", after all, does originally mean "holy day". Does it really matter which one?
If a project like sending holiday cards seems overwhelming, but you really do still want to do it, just break it down into smaller tasks and do them over several days: list recipients, obtain addresses, choose cards, address envelopes, write greetings, stamp and mail. Breaking it down like that also makes it easier to delegate steps to others in your family. I say have fun with it — don't forget the wine, snacks, and music! — or don't do it at all. It's OK. Really.
So…I'm curious…are you sending holiday cards this year? Or not?
Do you enjoy receiving them? How do you display them, if you do?
Copyright 2012-2016 by Hazel Thornton, Organized For Life.
Yes I'm definitely sending cards but this year might be just family. My biggest obstacle is the card itself. I want a photo card of my kids and dogs but coordinating that photo is a nightmare. Thanks for all the great tips. Maybe allowing myself to send a not-so-perfect picture would relieve some of my holiday cards stress and guilt too!
Jenifer, forget the dogs! (Not because they aren't family members, but to reduce stress.) You've got some awesome photos of your kids already on Facebook you could use. (Although I prefer the whole family.) Or, like you said, go for not-so-perfect. Imperfect has its charms when it comes to photos!
I love sending and receiving cards, but I have a hard time fitting it in. Guess I need to decide whether it's a big enough priority to keep it on my list – thanks for the nudge!
Hi Janet! Don't forget you can keep the activity, if you enjoy it, but downsize or simplify it.
While I am huge facebook fan, and love keeping in touch electronically with people throughout the year, there is nothing that tops the feeling of receiving a Christmas card in the mail. What a treasure. Whether it's a family photo, a simple card with a handwritten signature or a jam-packed family Christmas letter, they all are like little gifts in my mailbox. It's a blessing to know that my son and I are on someone's list, someone's mind, someone's heart. Whether it's sending out 12 or 120, there has got to be someone who would love to hear from you this time of year. Happy Holidays!
Well said, Fay, that's how I feel too — "little gifts in my mailbox"! Admiring the display of cards I've received is another form of counting my blessings. Thanks for your comment, and for being one of the inspirations for my post!
I am trying to give the gift of time and presence. When we travel to one side of our family for the holidays we sent a Ham for dinner to the other family, so we are contributing to their family meal. When we give a present it is a shared experience, like roller skating, or a football watching party together. I just hope I have enough time to share with those for whom I care.
These are great clutter free gift ideas, Lisa!
I think that's an excellent plan! Let me know how it goes.
That's a fantastic idea. People will probably appreciate receiving your cards even more when it's sent when it's not an occasion.
What a great decision tree (no pun intended) that you offer us around sending holiday cards or not. For years we sent them…LOTS of them, as my parents had done before me. It was what you did…part of the holiday tradition. And as you said, a perfect time of year to let people know you were thinking of them. However, in the last bunch of years, we've opted not to send cards. Instead I keep in touch using various ways throughout the year…sometimes handwritten notes, sometimes via email, text, phone or in person. But for now, the card sending tradition has been halted.
As most of my family is overseas I usually send cards with updated photos of our son. Last year was the first year ever I didn't send any, I simply ran out of time. I have heard from a few people that they would be just as happy to hear from me on FB or by phone. Now that my son is old enough to be on FB himself the photo updates are not as important. I think I will just be sending cards to those not on social media.
Facebook does kind of throw a wrench into the holiday card scenario, doesn't it? Makes it easier to not send cards, and maybe less necessary. But it's also less personal, and who knows which of your friends the FB algorithm will decide to bless with it in their news feeds, and you can't decorate or do crafts with FB greetings! Sounds like you've hit on a good plan for yourself, though, Jill.
I used to send holiday cards to my family and friends but over the years I found that I just didn't have the time. I would rather keep in touch with everyone through out the year. However, I do send holiday cards to some of my clients. I like to touch base with them by sending cards and notes through out the year.
Love the idea of breaking the card task into pieces. I do this and find that the task never feels too overwhelming this way. It is a principle that is helpful for so many large projects!
Love this Hazel! I am a BIG fan of not living by the "shoulds" in life and making your own traditions and habits that work for you. I love the idea JoyfulSurrounds had to send a few throughout the year. I did something similar in the past. Sending New Years cards because I felt there was less mayhem at that time for the receiver and it aligned better with my business messaging for those clients attempting to set goals for the new year.
Hi Erica! For business I, too, am a fan of the New Years card (getting the year started right), as well as the Thanksgiving card (grateful for your business, enjoy working with you)!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sending and receiving cards. I send birthday cards, anniversary cards, just 'cause I was thinking of you cards and definitely holiday cards.
I usually buy boxes of cards well in advance. Last year, I found someone selling hundreds of boxes of holiday cards and was able to buy probably 25 boxes (3-5 of each type) at a great price so I have those packed away in the garage. I pulled out 4 boxes this weekend to start ours for 2015. My daughter is home from college for the Thanksgiving weekend so she is working on writing in the ones she wants to so we don't have to wait until she's home again for xmas to send out our cards.
We get fewer and fewer cards in the mail every year so in some ways those become more meaningful.
I'm a card sender. I used to send cards for every holiday, but since having my son I've scaled back to just Christmas and I don't feel guilty about it! I usually just do the photo cards of my little guy, but you made me think I should include a shot of all of us. Is there a reason you prefer the family picture as to just the kiddos?
Yes! The reason is that YOU are my friend, not your kids. I am happy for you, and I know you are proud of your kids, and I agree that they are adorable, and it's fun to see them grow up, but I can see all of that in a family photo as well. (Is that why people don't do it? they think it has to be a formal, professional portrait? It doesn't have to be. It could be more than one candid shots, one of which includes you.) If we are close enough (in relationship and proximity) they might grow up to be my friends too. But, especially if we are not close in proximity, I want to see how YOU are doing, and what YOU look like these days. Have you cut your hair? Do you look happy? How much do your children resemble you, or not? (Easier to tell side by side.) Etc. Maybe I just want to recognize you if I come for a visit! LOL!
Great post Hazel. I have missed sending cards a few years and I always think cards in January to keep in touch when things were less hectic seemed ideal. In reality, I actually try to return a card when I get one. That way the people that think it is important enough to send me one get one back. I always write notes in them. I love being able to respond to what they sent me immediately too. I personally feel lunch bag let down when I open cards from people I rarely see and there are only their names signed.
I suppose some people send cards out of a feeling of obligation (so don't put much effort into it), or they feel at a loss the it comes to what to write, but I, too, would rather see a note inside!
Thanks for discussing about sending holiday card. It was intresting to read this post because you have raised some interesting points here and those are very little known to most of us. the blog is absolutely fantastic. I think it's useful for many those who are looking for such info, keep it up.!
My husband and I love sending out Holiday cards. We are a mixed Jewish and Christian family, so we use a seasons greetings type message. Usually, we write a one page letter to go with our card, which is always a photo card. We print the addresses on labels using a Word document with the label template for Avery labels. One box of labels lasts for years. If it's a busy year, we will do the cards between Christmas and New Years, when there is time to relax and enjoy it. Everyone gets a personal signature and often a few words on their card. It takes time, but it's fun.
I say, do what you want. Do New Year's cards, do e cards, do no cards at all! Whatever works. One year we got a Valentine's card instead of a holiday card. They're all welcome.
Also, I used to use them to decorate a ribbon hung across a wide doorway. Now I put them in a basket. After the holidays, I really enjoy sitting down and re-reading them with my DH.
I agree that making a list of what is really important to your family each year is very helpful. Don't get frazzled. The point is to enjoy things and make happy memories. Not to be perfect or be your mother. Life goes fast, kids grow up fast, so enjoy!

Toyota Loves the Nürburgring Race Track So Much It Built a Copy
Japan now has its own "Green Hell," mountainous terrain and all
Toyota just opened a mini Nürburgring track in Japan, part of a larger complex.
By Alex Lauer @alexlauer
Editor's Note: RealClearLife, a news and lifestyle publisher, is now a part of InsideHook. Together, we'll be covering current events, pop culture, sports, travel, health and the world.
Germany's Nürburgring complex is the most famous race track in the world. Not only does it play host to legendary competitions, including the grueling 24 Hours of Nürburgring, it's the testing ground for so many car companies that there are YouTube channels dedicated to getting spy shots from the sidelines.
Toyota is one of those companies. But instead of continuing to haul its automotive wares back and forth forever, the automaker built its own mini version of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Japan.
On Thursday, the company announced completion of the "country road test course" section of the Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama, a new $2.68 billion research and development facility located in a mountainous area outside Toyota City. That section is directly inspired by Germany's track, with grueling terrain and surrounding greenery (the Nürburgring's nickname is "The Green Hell"). But it's downsized to 3.3 miles (as opposed to the original's 12.9 miles) and just 246 feet of elevation change (versus 1,000 feet).
Apart from Toyota Motor Corporation's testing, President Akio Toyoda has another connection to the track: it's where he "cut his teeth as a competitive driver," notes Automotive News.
In a statement, Toyoda says that this new facility is influenced by years of global driving tests. Furthermore, he says, "Based on such experiences, we have replicated a variety of roads in the world at the new test course … we intend to thoroughly hone every one of our models and develop the types of cars that epitomize the true joy of driving."
Toyota hopes the complex will be fully operational by 2023, with other sections (a high-speed test track, specialized courses replicating roads from around the world and vehicle development centers) currently in progress.

UN experts: Islamic State committed genocide against Yazidis
UNITED NATIONS — The head of a U.N. team investigating atrocities in Iraq announced Monday it has found "clear and compelling evidence" that Islamic State extremists committed genocide against the Yazidi minority in 2014 and said the militant group successfully developed chemical weapons and used mustard gas.
Karem Khan told the Security Council the team also concluded war crimes were committed by the Islamic State group against predominantly Shiite unarmed cadets and personnel from the Tikrit Air Academy who were captured, tortured and subjected to mass execution in June 2014. He said an Islamic State video released in July 2015 showing the killings "constitutes a direct and public incitement to commit genocide against Shia Muslims."
The Security Council voted unanimously in September 2017 to ask the U.N. to establish an investigative team to help Iraq preserve evidence and promote accountability for what "may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide" committed by Islamic State extremists, both in Iraq and the Levant, which includes Syria.
In his sixth report to the council, Khan said the U.N. Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes committed by the Islamic State group, also known as Daesh and ISIL, rapidly expanded the amount of evidence it has in the last six months.
He said "significant developments" in collecting forensic evidence from mass grave sites, digital data extracted from hard drives that belonged to the IS group, digitization of case files, and use of advanced technological tools to process and search databases has allowed the team "to establish clear timelines of activities of key ISIL members."
Khan called it "a landmark moment" that the team, known as UNITAD, had established convincing evidence that Islamic State extremists committed genocide "against the Yazidi as a religious group" with the intent "to destroy the Yazidi physically and biologically."
This was manifest in the IS ultimatum applied to all Yazidis "to convert or die" and led to thousands killed, "either executed en masse, shot as they fled, or dying from exposure on Mount Sinjar as they tried to escape," Khan said. "Thousands more were enslaved, with women and children abducted from their families and subjected to the most brutal abuses, including serial rape and other forms of unendurable sexual violence" that for many lasted years, "often leading to death."
Khan added that crimes against the Yazidis continue, with thousands of women and children separated from their families or missing and some still with their their IS captors or those to whom they were sold.
In 2016, the U.N.-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria said the Islamic State group was committing genocide against Yazidis, and several non-governmental organizations have echoed that conclusion.
But Khan said what UNITAD has done in terms of the Yazidis is more important because the team was mandated to look at a variety of evidence that could stand up in court where the burden of proof is on the prosecution — "and to not just draw brush strokes from a survey of victims."
He said information from electronic devices that belonged to IS extremists also led UNITAD to open a new investigation "into the development and successful deployment of chemical and biological weapons by ISIL in Iraq."
Evidence collected by UNITAD details how the militant group used laboratories at Mosul University "as the epicenter of its chemical weapons program, drawing on the expertise of scientists and medical professionals from Iraq and abroad," Khan said.
Initially, he said, IS weaponized chlorine from water treatment plants captured by its fighters in 2014, and subsequently developed "toxic lethal compounds including thallium and nicotine that were tested on live prisoners, leading to death."
IS then developed a system to produce mustard gas, also called sulfur mustard, "that was deployed in March 2016 through the firing of 40 rockets at the Turkmen Shia town of Taza Khurmatu," Khan said.
Khan, who will become chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court on June 15, said this investigation is rapidly progressing, with initial results anticipated to be completed within five months. By the end of the year, he said, the team also anticipates initial results "addressing crimes against minority Christians, Kaka'i, Shabak, Shia Turkmen and Sunni communities in Iraq, as well as the massacre of predominantly Shia inmates at Badush prison."
Khan said the next step is to use the information and evidence collected by UNITAD "to meet the expectations of survivors" and put it before national courts to prosecute those responsible for these "horrific crimes."
He expressed hope that Iraqi legislators will adopt a legal basis to prosecute IS members for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. He welcomed legislation presented to Parliament in the Kurdistan region last week to establish a court with jurisdiction over international crimes committed by IS.
"We must make sure that we don't become this archive, this library," Khan said of the team's evidence.
He said every member of the international community should "feel this sense of urgency" for justice as if their own mother, father or child had lost their life or was not accounted for

Proposed Plans
Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan
Proposed Project & Amenities
Management Team & Contact
The Village of Marble Valley
The preparation of The Village of Marble Valley Specific Plan and its associated applications and environmental analysis is a complex process involving agency, stakeholder and public input over several months. The environmental review process, which includes the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is necessary to identify any impacts associated with the proposed land uses and is essential to the decision-making process for the County of El Dorado. The County cannot make a decision based on the merits of the project until after the conclusion of the environmental analysis, and more importantly, after a series of public hearings to gather community input.
Please visit the El Dorado County Long Range Planning website for information about The Village of Marble Valley Specific Plan and application process.
The information that follows is a brief overview of the environmental review process as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. For complete information, please visit the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.
What is CEQA?
CEQA stands for the California Environmental Quality Act, a law enacted in 1970 for the protection of environmental resources. It requires California agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and describes measures to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.
What is a Lead Agency?
A Lead Agency is the public agency that has the primary responsibility for approving a project that may have a significant impact upon the environment. The Lead Agency for The Village of Marble Valley Specific Plan is the County of El Dorado.
What is an EIR and why is it prepared?
An EIR (Environmental Impact Report) is a document required by CEQA when a Lead Agency determines that a proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Lead Agency has determined that an EIR is needed for The Village of Marble Valley Specific Plan and the EIR will describe the proposed specific plan project, the existing environmental conditions, the impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project, mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts, alternatives to the proposed project and cumulative impacts.
Information in the Draft EIR (DEIR) enables decision-makers, interested parties and the public to evaluate the proposed project and its environmental effects prior to decision-making, discusses ways to mitigate or avoid environmental impacts and discloses to the public any potentially unavoidable impacts.
How does the public participate in the EIR process?
A Notice of Preparation (NOP) is issued at the beginning of the environmental review process and its purpose is to inform agencies and interested parties of a Lead Agency's decision to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. The NOP is circulated for a 30-day review period, followed by a public Scoping Meeting. The purpose of the NOP and Scoping Meeting is to solicit input from agencies and interested parties, and identify the scope of the potential environmental impacts. All comments received by the Lead Agency during the NOP/Scoping phase will be considered during the preparation of the DEIR.
Several months after the NOP and Scoping Meeting, the Lead Agency prepares and releases the DEIR in hard copy or electronic format for public review for 45 days (minimum). During this 45-day review period, the public, agencies and other stakeholders may voice their opinions by submitting written comments to the Lead Agency.
What happens to the public comments that are received?
Under CEQA, the Lead Agency must respond to each written comment received during the DEIR review period. Each individual comment is evaluated for relevance to the DEIR and a response is prepared. In some instances, a comment may result in revision to the DEIR. The collection of comments and responses together with the DEIR constitute the Final EIR (FEIR). The FEIR must then be certified by the Lead Agency as adequate and in compliance with CEQA before a project can be approved.
What happens at the conclusion of the Final EIR?
The Final EIR (FEIR) includes all written comments received during the DEIR review period, including the Response to Comments and any revisions made resulting from public input. The FEIR is presented to the Planning Commission, which then votes on a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to approve or deny the project.

The solar energy alternative could provide us with all the energy we need as it exist in vast quantities all around us. We only should be innovative enough in order to improve the efficiency of our systems in capturing and converting solar energy in usable forms of power. By making a case for the solar energy alternative, we identify areas where efficiency can be improved and thereby Solar Energy can become a competitive energy source. This paper suggests an innovative approach to solar energy power production, which is manifested in a prototype given the name HelioTrope. The Heliotrope Solar Energy Production prototype is tested on its' capabilities to efficiently covert solar energy to generation of electricity and other forms of energy for storage or direct use. HelioTrope involves an innovative Stirling engine design and a parabolic concentrating dish with a sun tracking system implementing a control algorithm to maximize the capturing of solar energy. Further, it utilizes a patent developed by the authors where a mechanism is designed for the transmission of reciprocating motion of variable amplitude into unidirectional circular motion. This is employed in our prototype for converting linear reciprocating motion into circular for electricity production, which gives a significant increase in efficiency and reduces maintenance costs. Preliminary calculations indicate that the Heliotrope approach constitutes a competitive solution to solar power production.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – Commissioner on the Women and Gender Equality Commission, Nicole Cole was joined by political activist and Leader of the Independent Party, Mark Benschop on Tuesday August 04 as they protested the dismissal of two city constabularies who had become pregnant.
The two women, according to media reports, were dismissed by Chief Constabulary Officer Andrew Foo after they were found to be pregnant.
Reports indicate that as a policy, female constabularies are asked not to become pregnant during the first two years of their employment, since such is considered to be probationary period and would be against the by laws that govern the constabulary.
Foo is quoted in the Stabroek News as saying "becoming pregnant would seriously limit their ability to function but if they do become pregnant they have the option of resigning and at the end of their maternity once their performance has been good, they can return to the constabulary."
But Cole at the protest lines on Tuesday fumed over the decision as she stated it infringes on the rights of women and is also unconstitutional.
She pointed out that Guyana is signatory to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and such a move also contravenes that Body's regulatory framework.
"This policy smacks of discrimination all the way from the colonial days and we are calling for a review of the case and to reinstate the women. How are they going to get jobs?…to have such a policy violates the human rights," said Cole who was very passionate about the issue.
Meanwhile, Benschop stated that he is of the firm view that such draconian laws should not be enforced given the fact that they infringe on basic human rights.
"It is obvious that this action is discriminatory – it is inhumane…why some may argue that it is paramilitary laws and this is that…I think it is unjust. That is something that our colonial master, slave masters would have done to control the populations….for them to embrace such draconian laws it is unacceptable," said the political leader.
When asked about support from the other constables, Benschop stated that there is some fear on the part of the other female constables to reject the decision of their superiors.
"It is hurtful to hear some of the female ranks in the presence of their seniors saw that 'the law is the law…the law is the law'….don't they have a conscience? The law may seem like the law but it is unlawful," said Benschop.

Pregnancy On The Job?
Pregnancy In The Georgetown-Guyana City Constabulary Policy!
"Female constables are asked not to become pregnant during the first two years of their employment, since such is considered to be probationary period."
If these two women violated this policy and agreement as per their employment. Then the M&CC has the legal right to dismiss them for violating this Contract Of Employment Policy.
An Amendment Is In Order Here:
In keeping with current Global I LO Agreements pertaining to Woman's Rights on the Job.
It is absolutely necessary that this policy be amended to incorporate the necessary changes needed, pertaining to Maternity, and Maternity Vacation Leave with pay.
OBSERVER August 4, 2015 at 2:25 pm
Since it is WOMEN who bear children and continue to next generations, there should be laws PROTECTING women from such BACKWARD laws.I sincerely hope that these women will be given back their jobs – NOW.

Understanding the impact of technology on people at work
Technology and people is about understanding the role of technology and the impact it has on the people function and the broader workforce. Knowing how technology can improve the agility and productivity of workforces and organisations, and how it can enable more collaborative working.
The way we work is changing. With many more people now working at home, and with many organisations adopting a hybrid approach to working, the way that people professionals have had to use technology to enable their people practices has also changed. Practitioners are having to adapt their people practices for remote and hybrid working, and bring the people perspective to technology-based approaches, such as bringing learning online, or enabling greater online HR self-service for the workforce.
And, as things change, we also have a role in determining the impact of technology on the people function and the workforce: understanding how roles will change, what new skills and capabilities will be needed, and how to use technology to enhance the people proposition.
This area of the Profession Map covers the core knowledge needed to be an effective people professional who can bring the people perspective to technology, and identify opportunities to maximise the benefits of technology for the workforce.

New 'designer' drug enters the scene
Written by silvercitydailypress on November 18, 2011
By ROGER LANSE
Daily Press Staff
A new designer drug, colloquially called " bath salts,' has entered the American scene. This is not Epsom salts for your bath, but a mix of high- powered chemicals presumed to be principally MDPV, or methylenedioxypyrovalerone, although there are variants constantly being produced. The exact chemical makeup of the various strains of this drug is unknown, because there is no test for the ingredients.
" Designer' is a term used to describe drugs that are created to evade existing laws by modifying the chemical nature of legal compounds to produce the same effects as illegal recreational drugs.
According to various sources, "bath salts' is marketed under many names, including Ivory Wave, Purple Wave, Vanilla Sky, Bliss, White Lightning, Hurricane Charlie and Bolivian Bath. By marketing it as bath salts and labeling it " not for human consumption,' the makers were legal; however, that is changing.
A September CBS news piece reported that 27 states have banned three synthetic stimulants found in bath salts — mephedrone, MDPV and methylone. Following suit after mounting pressure, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration placed a temporary ban on the three stimulants, which took effect in October and will last for at least one year, according to the DEA.
The drug, which can be found in mini- marts, smoke shops and on the Internet, has not yet been pronounced a schedule 1 drug by the DEA, according to the Internet source WebMD. A schedule 1 designation means it has no medicinal value but does have a high potential for abuse and would be eligible for a permanent ban.
Users, reporting on the Internet, have experienced a clear- headed and even euphoric sensation for up to 45 minutes after ingesting MDPV, but the comedown lasts hours and includes jitteriness, stomach cramps, and a desire to do another " bump' or " line.' They report the relatively short high is not worth the long withdrawal stage.
Emergency room physicians in larger cities are seeing the bad effects of this drug, not reported by users, on an increasing scale, according to a July New York Times story. These include disorientation, extreme paranoia, hallucinations, chest pain, violent episodes and thoughts of suicide. Also seen are high blood pressure, increased heart rate and psychosis. Because there is no way to test for the ingredients, doctors have to guess at proper treatment when seeing overdose case, or patients undergoing withdrawal, the story said.
At times when someone comes to the ER under the infl uence of bath salts, it requires a number of workers to immobilize them, WebMD informs. Some are so violent and agitated even large doses of sedatives fail to quiet them, an ER doctor in Phoenix said. Treatments used for other drugs are not effective with MDPV withdrawals or overdoses.
Of particular concern to the medical community, WebMD said, is that the desire to commit suicide after ingesting MDPV continues after the stimulating effects of the drug have worn off.
The American Association of Poison Control Centers in Alexandria, Va., reports that 303 calls nationwide were received by poison control centers in 2010 from people who had been exposed to bath salts, eitherby swallowing, smoking, or in some other way. From January through October of this year, 5,625 calls have been received.
" Some of these folks aren't right for a long time,' Karen E. Simone, director of the Northern New England Poison Center, said in the New York Times story. "If you gave me a list of drugs that I wouldn't want to touch, this would be at the top.'
Bath salts comes in crystalline and powder form and is usually snorted, but can also be injected, smoked, or mixed with food and drink. " The people who take them are very creative,' said Zane Horowitz, ER physicianand medical director of the Oregon Poison Center on the WebMD site. Whether bath salts is addictive is yet to be determined — it hasn't been around long enough, Horowitz said.
Steve Polanco, owner of Twisted Illusionz in Silver City, does not sell bath salts at his store, although customers have asked for it. " It's a bad chemical and I want nothing to do with it,' he said.
The attendant at The Smoke Shoppe in Silver City told this reporter bath salts is not sold there either, although they have had " one or two' requests for it.
Dick Pool, Silver Schoolssuperintendent, and David Carrillo, Silver High School principal, were asked whether they had heard of the drug being present on any Silver Schools campus. Neither had, and did not consider it a problem. Four high school students this reporter interviewed had heard of it, but had not seen it used.
According to Max Rothpletz, Gila Regional Medical Center Emergency Department director, "MDPV use is being seen in our community but because it is a combination of chemicals it is not identified specifically by a drug panel test. We can only identifyusers by their symptoms. We are not seeing the large numbers other parts of the country are currently experiencing.'
Chief Ed Reynolds of the Silver City Police Department said, " We've seen a little use of bath salts, but not associated with other crimes. It doesn't appear to be a problem right now.'
Grant County Sheriff Raul Villanueva said he has heard of the drug, but to the best of his knowledge, department personnel have not encountered it.

Jacksonville mother seeks public's help finding suspects on first anniversary of son's shooting death
Vonette Gordon Nixon says the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office wasn't the first to say her 18-year-old son had been shot a year ago.
Instead, a friend told her that Dari'one Dewone Sheron Flanigan, an aspiring rapper, had died after being shot in the 2900 block of North Main Street.
Nixon said her son's homicide was "lost in a shuffle last year," no one knowing he had been killed on June 24, 2019, until days had passed.
"The car had been shot up and he was on his way to the hospital, but he was unresponsive," she said. "... A lot of people called me because they said they never saw anything on the news, and I said I don't know why because he's deceased."
Her son became the city's 78th violent death of 2019, en route to a total 158, the highest since the Times-Union began keeping track in 2006. And with 83 homicides already as of Friday, those responsible for Dari'one's killing have not been captured, she said.
"The crime rate is still going up," she said. "As a parent, I deserve justice. At this point a year later, we have killers still walking around in our community and I don't know if they have caused harm to anybody else. We need those people to be off the streets."
It is time to find whoever gunned this woman's son down, added her attorney Kirby Johnson, who said they are considering civil legal action.
"We are going to be helping Mrs. Nixon because JSO isn't," Johnson said. "... We need to find the people who did this to her son."
The Sheriff's Office did not release any information about the initial shooting when it occurred or report the homicide until a couple of days later on its website. When asked Wednesday for an update on the status of its investigation into the death, the Sheriff's Office said Florida's Marsy's Law means it is "unable to identify or confirm victims of crimes."
Officers were called to UF Health Jacksonville just before 5:30 p.m. that June day last year after two gunshot victims drove themselves to the emergency room, according to the incident report.
The report lists the location where they were shot as a BP gas station at East 19th and Main streets, but provides no other information. But the night it happened, Northside Coalition community activist Ben Frazier saw lots of officers at the gas station, then drove past a second scene a few blocks away where the victims may have headed after the shooting. He said he was told there had been a shootout in the gas station parking lot "involving more than one car."
Flanigan, a former Lee High School student whose nickname was "Trouble," had posted one month before his death on his Facebook page that "no weapon formed against me shall prosper." After his death, the young rapper's mother then posted "Yessir," a music video her son did singing, "Yes sir, I got big dreams, want to rap sing."
One year later, she said he would have gone far, but "it was cut short for him."
"Dari'one was on his way. He had a unique music, and it was good music and he had a lot of people looking at him," Nixon said. "... His song was that he had big dreams and that was his goal."
Nixon said she wishes police had let the community know faster about the homicide, saying "someone could have seen something but didn't even know," like a car fleeing the shooting scene.
"I'm still waiting and I'm pleading for justice," she said.
Anyone with information on Flanigan's 2019 shooting death is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at (904) 630-0500 or leave an anonymous tip and be eligible for a possible reward by calling First Coast Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-8477 (TIPS).

A major clinical trial has found that combining a targeted drug with hormone therapy can substantially extend survival for women with advanced breast cancer and may delay the need for chemotherapy.
The clinical trial, named PALOMA-3, tested the new method of treatment on women with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer. At this stage currently the only available option is chemotherapy, which can have debilitating side-effects.
When taken alongside the hormone therapy fulvestrant, novel drug palbociclib is demonstrated to extend survival by 7 months over taking hormone therapy alone. The researchers found that women who received the combination treatment survived for an average of 6.9–34.9 months longer than those who received fulvestrant and a placebo pill.
The effect was shown to be greater in women whose tumors had previously been sensitive to hormone therapy with the combination treatment. In these patients the trial showed a survival time of 39.7 months, 10 months more than those receiving hormone therapy alone.
Researchers believe these findings may strengthen the case for making palbociclib available on the NHS. "I'm keen to see it available on the NHS for women with breast cancer who have been treated previously with hormone therapy, as well as those with newly diagnosed advanced disease, as soon as possible," said Turner.
The trial has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine and is being presented at this week's ESMO conference in Munich, Germany (19–23 October).

Q: Couchbase server timeout expired after upgrade to 3.1.0 We recently upgraded our cluster from Couchbase 2.5.1 to 3.1.0. But when trying to update documents or read from an index, we're getting 'timeout expired' errors. That happens from .NET client and curl/postman. We use .NET client 2.1.2 if that helps.

WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder will be conspicuous by his absence tonight in Cardiff, Wales as rival heavyweight rulers Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker go at it over a scheduled 12-rounds – or, to be more precise, Wilder will be conspicuous by his absence AFTER the fight. It was then that "The Bronze Bomber" was all set to enter the ring and go head-to-head, face-to-face, eye-to-eye with Joshua (providing he had beaten Parker of course) and tell him to his face that he wants to KO him.
We know Wilder will not be in the house, or in the Motorpoint Arena, but he will be watching the US TV coverage of the fight on Showtime. Wilder confirmed this when speaking with Sky Sports earlier, and he also said that he, and the world's fight fans, will be waiting to see whether or not AJ (again, if victorious) "mentions my name" after the fight.
Wilder may be wrong about a few things (wrong to say, in an interview that has already received plenty of attention, that he "wants a body" on his record, and wrong to not come to Cardiff and receive a ton of media attention) but he is right when he says that a fight between he and Joshua is THE talking point of the current heavyweight division.
Assuming he does beat Parker tonight, will AJ make it clear he wants to fight Wilder next? Will he indeed call for the fight we all want to see? There are other options out there for a victorious Joshua, far more than there are options out there for Wilder – such as a fight with Alexander Povetkin (assuming Povetkin gets past "desperate" David Price tonight), a US debut, maybe against Jarrell Miller, or even a return fight with Dillian Whyte (who may get to do what Wilder so badly wanted to do tonight, and get in the ring after tonight's fight and get in Joshua's face).
Wilder says himself he "highly doubts" a fight between he and Joshua will happen next, and that he is simply hoping and hoping that Joshua calls his name out tonight in an effort to make the huge unification showdown a reality.
We'll soon see who Joshua wants next (again, providing he beats a very confident-looking Parker).

Q: Showing associativity on this binary operation I am trying to determine whether the definition of * gives a binary operation on the set.

On $\mathbb{Z^+}$, define * by letting $a*b = a^b$

I think that the binary operation is not commutative because if $a,b \in \mathbb{Z^+}$, if $a = 1$ and $b = 2$, we see that $a^b \neq b^a$.
I am not sure how to determine whether the binary operation is associative because I am not sure how to set the binary operation up.
Would it look something like this?
$(a^b)^c = (b^c)^a$ ?

A: The systematic way is to use the definition $A\ast B=A^B$ for positive integers $A,B$. Now just rewrite $A=a$ and $B=b\ast c$.
Then the definition says that
$$
a\ast (b\ast c)=a^{(b\ast c)}=a^{b^c}.
$$
On the other hand writing $A=a\ast b$ and $B=b$ gives
$$
(a\ast b)\ast c=(a\ast b)^c=(a^b)^c.
$$
Obviously this is different for some $a,b,c$.

A: In general,  $a^{b^c}\neq (a^b)^c$.  You could take $a=2,b=2$ and $c=3$.  You get $2^{2^3}=2^8\neq2^6=(2^2)^3$.
