LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE — Anthony Mizrahi of the La Cañada High baseball team watched as Village Christian's first baseman ran to catch a high pop fly in foul territory that came off his bat.
The ball fell two feet in front the Crusader, who got a late jump on the ball.
"It was a second chance, another life," Mizrahi said.
Mizrahi made it count. He sat on an 0-1 curveball and drove it over the left fielder's head and off the fence, scoring the Spartans' Jacob Yonan and Derek Georgino, who notched consecutive one-out singles, to deliver a La Cañada victory, 4-3, in the eighth inning.
"[This win is] huge because what we've been doing all year is scoring early and not scoring late," Mizrahi said. "Today we just didn't want to give up and we put up runs in the end. We weren't going to go down in the end, we weren't going to let that happen."
The walk-off two-run double saved the Spartans from another late collapse as they took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh and saw it erased on a run-scoring single from the Crusaders' Josh Rolls that scored Chapin Yoder, who reached when he was hit by a pitch to start the inning and advanced to third on a throwing error.
"We've had several of those moments in the late innings where we needed a hit and didn't get it," La Cañada Coach Dennis Ballard said. "Today it happened so maybe that is a sign of hey that's how we do it. Let's not give up on ourselves, we can make the timely hit.
"Maybe we can get it in that special memory bank back there to tell us we can do it again and again."
The walk-off also delivered on Ballard's faith in two of his best hitters, Mizrahi and Georgino.
"He told us that we're two of the best hitters in our league and in the area and we needed to step up and produce like our potential says that we should," Mizrahi said. "We took that to heart and we weren't going to let him down anymore."
Mizrahi also turned in a fine performance on the mound. He recorded nine strikeouts and gave up just two runs on three hits, three walks, three hit by pitches in seven innings.
The Crusaders put themselves in a position to win in the top of the eight, starting the inning with back-to-back doubles from Tyler McGinnis and Jessie Hanckel, whose double scored McGinnis for a 3-2 lead.
It all just set the stage for Mizrahi's heroics, but none of that would have been possible without the clutch two-out hitting from La Cañada sophomore Justin Lewis, who played in his first game of the season after sitting out the first 14 games with a cracked bone in his elbow.
"We put the lineup together and Justin wasn't in it, but then I remembered his dad called me two days ago to tell me he's cleared [to hit], so I thought, what the heck he needs to be out there," Ballard said.
Ballard didn't regret his decision as Lewis drove home the Spartans' first two runs with two-out RBI singles and was three for three with a stolen base on the day.
Georgino, who was three for four in the game, started the bottom of the fourth with a leadoff double and advanced to third with no outs as a Village Christian pickoff attempt sailed into the outfield.
Two consecutive strikeouts nearly stranded Georgino, but Lewis cashed him in with a line-drive single to left field to tie the game at 1.
Georgino led the sixth off with a single, stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. Lewis was asked to deliver with two outs again after a La Cañada strikeout and he did just that, lining another pitch into left field to give his team a 2-1 lead.
"[Lewis] did a great job, that was clutch hitting in the middle of the game when maybe nobody is watching even," Ballard said. "You got two outs and you can do that, that's fantastic."
Village Christian got on the board first in the top of the fourth on a hit by pitch, hit and two passed balls, one of which brought home McGinnis (two for three).

It was the perfect stage at the Aerospace Conference for IAM's Southern Territory General Vice President Mark A. Blondin to recognize the hard work of a few leaders from District 70 in Wichita, KS. After weeks of diligent work, Business Representative Tyson Kelly and ADBR Gerald Hill are proud to say that the strike at Garnett Auto Supply Inc./Jobbers Automotive Warehouse Inc. is over!
Overall, the contract gains are significant. Machinist members have a new progression that they've never had before which will mandate raises every six months. They also gained the ability to carry over 80 hours of vacation and 200 hours of sick leave instead of losing that benefit. The grievance and arbitration procedures were strengthened, giving our members the ability to work things through the system at a faster pace. But there was one item that District 70 is extremely proud to have gained.
DBR of District 70 Cornell Beard couldn't be more proud of what these workers have done, not just for themselves but for workers across the state of Kansas. "These workers took a stand and changed the culture. That's why we do what we do in the Labor Movement. There was not a local in our District who didn't take the time to walk the picket line with their Brothers and Sisters at Jobbers. And just ask those workers on strike – that support made all the difference. That's something I will never forget," said Beard proudly.
The Brothers and Sisters at Garnett Auto Supply Inc./Jobbers Automotive Warehouse Inc. have proven, yet again, that Solidarity works. It's what we do and who we are and it will forever be the heart and soul of anyone who holds the title of Fighting Machinist.

Pertusaria is a large genus of warty crustose lichens in the Pertusariaceae family. The fruiting bodies are usually modified apothecia that immersed in warts on the main body (thallus) with small holes for the spores to emerge, similar to ostioles, or are fully above and lecanorine (spore bearing discs surrounded by a ring of tissue similar to the tissue of the thallus.  Members of the genus are commonly called wart lichens.

The widespread genus contains over 500 species.

Classification in the large genus relies heavily on thallus chemistry to distinguish and classify species, some of which differ only in the presence or absence of a single secondary chemical. Lichexanthone, norlichexanthone, and their chlorinated derivatives are common in this genus.

Selected species

 Pertusaria amara
 Pertusaria californica
Pertusaria diluta
 Pertusaria favicunda
 Pertusaria lactea
 Pertusaria opthalmazia
 Pertusaria rubefacta
 Pertusaria subambigens
 Pertusaria velata
 Pertusaria xanthodes

Proactive vs. Reactive Approaches to Business and Talent
Talent Strategies
Have you thought about how much it costs to react to a problem after the fact vs. taking a proactive approach before you have a problem? In a February 2011 McKinsey report, one of the companies surveyed for the article said it had a struggling executive team. About the executive team and their company, McKinsey reported "Fewer than one in five of its members thought it was highly respected or shared a common vision for the future, and only one in three thought it made a valuable contribution to corporate performance. The company's customers were very dissatisfied—they rated its cost, quality, and service delivery at only 2.3 on a 7-point scale—and the team couldn't even agree on the root causes." Ouch! That smarts.
Here's a team and company way out of alignment…and they realize it. They were unable to agree on the causes of their problems, which is unfortunate. It makes me wonder how many of them may be thinking about running for the door. Do you think they've considered what it has cost them thus far in time, dollars, and productivity to have issues so detrimental to the health of their organization? Why aren't they discussing how to fix the problem? Given my experience, I'd assert they are just so overwhelmed with the idea of fixing their problems that they're paralyzed? This is unfortunate, but not uncommon. When human beings get overwhelmed, we often bury our heads in the sand and hope it gets better. Of course it rarely ever does.
Companies can utilize proactive solutions to prevent issues they may encounter. Making the time and spending some money to build their organizations the right way the first time will save them considerable time and money in the short and long run. Companies can also choose to take a reactive approach after they have encountered costly problems related to talent, which is the norm.
Why Reactive?
In general, companies that take a reactive approach in business have many reasons as to why they didn't work proactively in the first place. The most common reason I hear from venture capitalists and executives is that they feel that being proactive is like spending money before it's necessary: also referred to a "soft dollars". I would analogize this to not going to the doctor for an annual check up or "well visit" and waiting until your sick. It often costs more money and time with this type of approach.
I had a prospect early last year that was referred to me because of the "churn" in employees they were experiencing. The CTO & Co-Founder knew their churn was costing them a fortune though he was not willing to actually look at the costs involved. They were making money in spite of that and weren't in enough pain yet to take steps to correct their issues. In a perfect world every startup would take the proactive approach and build their company from the beginning by identifying not only mission, vision, values, goals, objectives, strategy, etc., but will determine where they want to go in the short and long term and build a holistic, aligned organization beginning at the founder level where they can attract, hire and retain the top talent to get them where they want to go. They will revisit these processes and strategies on an as-needed basis to ensure alignment and health and tweak when and where necessary.
This is NOT a perfect world
We don't live in a perfect world, so taking the reactive road to correct your issues is a lot better than sinking further into an abyss you may not be able to pull out of. As I always say, better late than never!
Let's take a look at 2 cases where companies lost employees for different reasons and the associated costs:
The first case was a Director of Learning and Organizational Development at a F500. She was with this organization only a year before being let go. They said she wasn't a fit with the company. Her total comp over that year was $225K (180k + 45K bonus). When we added up the exit, severance, onboarding, interview, relocation, T&E, and search costs, these expenses came to just over $179K. Add this to salary and bonus and the loss to the company becomes $404K!! Yes, they lost over 400 thousand dollars. Could this have been avoided? I would assert they could have, and would have, if the company had the vision to align their executive team and then build a talent strategy around this.
The second example is the case of a sales rep who achieved 96% quota in his first year with the company and quit for another opportunity. He had issues with company management, and particularly his direct manager. Salary, commission, bonus, and non-recoverable draw added up to him earning $229,530k. He sold $1.25MM, of which $100k was services. When we consider all the other involved expenses, which include exit costs, lost revenue for three months without a sales rep covering the territory full time, initial onboarding and recruiting expenses, etc., the company earned $483K. You may be thinking that this isn't such a bad profit considering the guy quit. But it's imperative that we remember sales is the only direct revenue producing function in a company. All other positions are a debt on the company and it is the sales division's responsibility to generate enough revenue to compensate for all the non-revenue positions. Remember that Profit = Gross Revenue – Cost of goods – Cost of operations – Cost of sales.
It is important not to weigh one qualification too heavily over another. For example, many companies focus on skills and abilities and don't give enough thought to cultural fit or vice versa. There are many pieces to your approach to business and talent and it's imperative each one is carefully considered. A study by LeadershipIQ found that almost half of employees will fail within the first 18 months of employment. It's never just one thing. It's a multitude of items that are either not considered and/or not considered and worked through carefully enough.
Lastly, smaller companies have considerably more to lose than large companies with the same issues. It can be devastating to a small company when it loses key people, both for morale and financially. I know that fixing problems takes time, effort, commitment, and even struggle. What I can tell you is that once you're on the other side it's like a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. The work is worth it and you'll see this when you look back on the process you went through to become a healthy, desirable, and successful organization.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by joint inflammation. The immune system attacks the tissue lining the joints (synovial membrane), causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
Two complementary medicines options for RA are evening primrose oil and omega-3 supplements. What's the evidence for their efficacy in treating RA?
Several RCTs and meta-analyses have found that EPA plus DHA has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces morning stiffness, joint swelling and pain, and the need for NSAID therapy in patients with RA.
For more evidence-based information about these and other complementary medicines – including clinical notes on adverse effects, contraindications and interactions, as well as full references, refer to the Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary and Handbook 24th edition (APF24).

Erborian 0.09 Touch au Ginseng Creamy Powder Compact
Sometimes I really shouldn't be allowed out, you know. I was at a launch with the founder of Erborian a couple of months ago, and I got so excited by this product that all I could say for about 20 minutes was "It's a jelly! But it's a powder! But it's a jelly!". This is, I suspect, why I'm not going to be challenging any of the major beauty editors in the UK any time soon, I'm, like, sooooo eloquent and all that.
So, Erborian 0.09 Touch au Ginseng Cream Powder Compact, what is it? Well, it's a powder. but it's also a jelly (look, I don't get out much these days, and it may be affecting my vocabulary) and I find it makes a really nice base in its own right. The 0.09 name comes about from the amount of water in the formulation, with only 0.09% aqua, this is basically a water-free product. It's a hybrid powder that has an amazing bouncy texture, not in the slightest bit powdery, and I find that it smoothes out uneveness in tone beautifully.
What it's not, I have found, is a finishing powder. It's more of a base in its own right, though a sheer one. It's rather a firm product and needs to be applied with a sponge, so over a foundation it's not the greatest finishing product as the sponge has a tendency to remove foundations, but over something like a lightly tinted CC cream (and it has to be said that Erborian make one of the best CC creams ever, especially now it comes in a new "light" version), or BB cream, it's rather wonderful. I use it on its own on good-skin days too.
Because it's a bouncy jelly texture it's perfect for carrying round in your handbag, because unlike powdery … erm … powders, it won't crack owing to being thrown around a bit. And it never looks powdery on the skin, and won't cake. It leaves a lovely velvety, glowing finish, and a little of it goes a very long way. There's a good-size mirror in the lid too, for touch-ups on the go, though even on my oily skin, touch up requirements have been minimal, this has great lasting power.
It costs £27 from Erborian.com.

Hunting black wildebeest South Africa with Mkulu African Hunting Safaris.
Hunting black wildebeest South Africa is hunting for the more common South African antelope species.
Black wildebeest are gregarious animals that like to huddle up in a herd and run around once they feel threatened. The males and females have distinct differences when sexing them for trophy hunting. Black wildebeest only occur naturally in South Africa making it a rather sought after trophy.
Black wildebeest are also known as the Clowns of the Prairie due to their odd behavior when in a herd. At times, they will start running at no apparent reason. The animals on the outskirts of the herd will swing their heads at any other member of the herd closest to them. Then, suddenly and as if by some unseen traffic signal, they all stop. This behavior can continue for many minutes to the enjoyment of the onlooker. Despite the seemingly aggressive mode of some of the individuals, black wildebeest never intentionally injure each other when strutting this type of behavior.
Solitary bulls are indicative of mature male black wildebeest (mostly trophy size) dominating a specific area known as his territory. Within the territory there is a home range which is a smaller area where the specific individual will normally be found.
Territorial black wildebeest bulls fought for the right to own his territory. If possible it is suggested to avoid hunting these territorial animals as they are mostly in their absolute reproductive prime. Hunters should try to identify the individual as an old bull that was shunted from the herd and lost his territory. Your PH will assist in estimating the age of the specific bull.
When you decide to hunt a black wildebeest, you may want to consider hunting a blue wildebeest as they make strikingly different trophies once mounted by the taxidermist.
Hunting black wildebeest in South Africa with Mkulu African Hunting Safaris is a plains game hunting experience to look forward to. Our black wildebeest hunting opportunities are mainly in the Free State but because black wildebeest hunting can be done in many of our Provinces we are not limited to only hunting black wildebeest in one Province.
Please take the time to read the information below to make informed decisions with regards to shot placement, caliber for hunting black wildebeest, the tips for hunting black wildebeest and other relevant information.
Even if you decide to hunt with another company, enjoy hunting black wildebeest in South Africa.
The cost to hunt black wildebeest in South Africa for the 2019 hunting season is $ 1 100.
Due to the cost saving measures we institute (like not having too much staff that only work during the hunting season), it is possible to offer affordable black wildebeest hunts and black wildebeest hunting packages in South Africa. Feel free to have a look at our YouTube videos of plains game hunts.
Our black wildebeest hunting prices in South Africa are set for 2018 South African black wildebeest hunting season.
The best caliber for hunting black wildebeest in South Africa would be a medium bore rifle that you can shoot accurately and feel comfortable using.
300 Win Mag and any other comparable calibers.
Mkulu African Hunting Safaris recommends you only use premium grade ammunition when hunting black wildebeest in South Africa. To use any other ammunition than premium grade may save you money on the ammunition but it may cost a whole lot more if you wound an animal that we cannot find.
A good 2 – 12 X 50 gun scope should be sufficient for hunting black wildebeest in South Africa due to a wide zoom range and a long eye relief which will allow for greater flexibility to view the cross-hairs quicker.
The average expected shooting distance when hunting Black wildebeest in South Africa is 150 to 250 yards depending on the terrain you are hunting in.
Baboons are slight body animals which is why the shot can be placed in the upper body.
Place the shot where the throat joins the chest.
To walk-and-stalk when hunting black wildebeest is the traditional way of going about it. Larger black wildebeest herds can be more difficult to stalk due to every member of the black wildebeest herd being alert most of the time. Solitary males can become extremely wily and are very hard to hunt indeed.
Extreme caution should be applied when on the final approach. Any sudden movements will attract the attention of a weary black wildebeest and result in a no-hunt situation.
Traditionally the grass in the best black wildebeest hunting areas is rather tall during our summer months from November to April. From June to August the grass starts to recede rather quickly and during September and October the daily temperatures start rising while the grass recedes to a minimum.
The best time of year for hunting black wildebeest South Africa is the second week of April until the end of October and even to mid-November when the grass has receded most.
When hunting black wildebeest in the Free State the terrain opens up to large open plains and even mountainous areas. This is where the skill of the hunter is tested with regards to marksmanship.
We go hunting black wildebeest South Africa from January to December.

BREAKING NEWS POLITICS
Congressman-elect Luke Letlow dies after Covid diagnosis
Luke Letlow, a Republican elected U.S. representative to Louisiana's 5th district, was 41 years old.
A U.S. Congressman-elect from Louisiana who was 41 years old died Tuesday evening from complications of Covid-19, his spokesman announced Tuesday night.
Luke Letlow, a Republican, was elected as U.S. representative for Louisiana's 5th Congressional District in a December runoff.
Letlow spokesman Andrew Bautsch confirmed the congressman-elect's death at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport on Letlow's Facebook page.
"The family appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time," Bautsch said in a statement. "A statement from the family along with funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time."
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards urged people in the state to pray for Letlow's family, and he will order flags to be flown at half-staff on the day of his funeral.
Letlow announced on Dec. 18 that he tested positive for Covid-19, days later tweeted that he was being treated at a hospital, and on Wednesday his representative said he'd been transferred to another hospital where he was stable in the intensive care unit.
Louisiana's Congressional delegation, including House Republican Whip Steve Scalise, said in a statement that "we are devastated to hear of Luke Letlow's passing."
"Luke had such a positive spirit, and a tremendously bright future ahead of him," the delegation of representatives and senators said.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., tweeted that "Our hearts break tonight as we process the news of Congressman-elect Luke Letlow's passing."
Our hearts break tonight as we process the news of Congressman-elect Luke Letlow's passing.
I spoke with his wife, Julia. Judy and I are praying for her and their two young children during this terrible time.
— Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) December 30, 2020
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement that "Tonight, the United States House of Representatives sadly mourns the passing of Congressman-elect Luke Letlow."
Letlow beat fellow Republican Lance Harris in a runoff election earlier this month, 62 to 38 percent, according to the secretary of state's website.
His death occurred less than a week before the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3.

|}Наяда () — внутренний спутник планеты Нептун.
Название образовано от наяд — нимф источников, ручьёв и родников из греческой мифологии.
Также обозначается как Нептун III.

 История открытия
Наяда была открыта в сентябре 1989 года по снимкам, сделанным аппаратом «Вояджер-2». Об открытии было объявлено 29 сентября 1989 года, а текст сообщает о 25 изображениях, полученных в течение 11 дней, таким образом, открытие состоялось незадолго до 18 сентября.
Спутник получил временное обозначение S/1989 N 6'''.
Собственное название было дано 16 сентября 1991 года.

Характеристики
Наяда имеет неправильную (несферическую) форму.
Никаких следов геологической активности не обнаружено.
Вероятно, Наяда, как и другие спутники на орбитах ниже Тритона, сформировалась из обломков ранее существовавших спутников Нептуна, разрушившихся в результате столкновений, вызванных возмущениями от Тритона после его захвата Нептуном на первоначальную высокоэксцентрическую орбиту.

Наяда обращается ниже синхронной околонептуновой орбиты, вследствие чего орбита этого спутника постепенно снижается из-за воздействия приливных сил. Расстояние орбиты от верхней границы облачного слоя приблизительно .
Со временем она может быть поглощена Нептуном или разрушиться из-за приливного растяжения и образовать кольцо при достижении предела Роша.

После «Вояджера-2» система Нептуна продолжительное время исследовалась наземными обсерваториями и космическим телескопом «Хаббл».
В июле 2002 — октябре 2003 производились наблюдения с обсерватории «Кек» с применением адаптивной оптики, и легко были обнаружены четыре крупнейших внутренних спутника Нептуна.
Таласса была обнаружена после обработки изображений, а Наяду обнаружить не удалось.
Телескоп «Хаббл» способен наблюдать все известные спутники.
Несмотря на это, с его помощью также удалось получить снимки пяти внутренних спутников, за исключением Наяды.
Предполагается, что в эфемеридах Наяды содержатся существенные ошибки.

В 2013 году на снимках "Хаббла" рядом с Нептуном заметили неизвестный объект и поначалу посчитали его новой луной. Орбита Наяды необъяснимым образом изменилась, что создало затруднения для её наблюдения.

Точный расчёт траекторий орбит Талассы и Наяды, основанный на данных АМС Вояджер-2 и космического телескопа "Хаббл", позволил выяснить, что Наяда движется по синусоиде. Таким образом, хоть большие полуоси орбит Наяды и Талассы отличаются на 1850 км, Наяда никогда не приближается к Талассе ближе, чем на 3540 км. Наяда и Таласса находятся в орбитальном резонансе 73:69. Также удалось уточнить плотность Наяды и Талассы — 0,80 ± 0,48 и 1,23 ± 0,43 г/см³ соответственно.

Record Accidents Lead to Deceptive Collision Data in Washington State's 100 Deadliest Days of 2021
Labor day may have marked the unofficial end of summer, but it was the official end of this year's 100 Deadliest Days, which opened the door to uncovering what a world attempting to return to normal means for drivers.
The 100 Deadliest Days title comes from the phenomenon of increased serious and fatal accident numbers typically seen during the summer months as a result of several factors including outdoor recreation, summer break for students, and heavy drinking holidays such as Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.
This year, the research team at Davis Law Group tracked collision data as it came in through the months in order to compare it to previous years and better understand the trends and shifts that are coming from our seemingly not-quite-post-covid world.
While previous years data would show a relatively steady trend of total collisions and serious or fatal collisions from 2016-2019, 2020's data showed a sharp change due to the coronavirus pandemic with far fewer accidents in total, but an equally as sharp rise in serious or fatal accidents that was concentrated more outside of the most populous counties.
Now that 2021's deadliest days have concluded, an initial review of this year's collision data shows a startling rise in one statistic that could lead to deceptive results in others.
Record Collisions Catch Up To Covid-19 Trend
After the data for the 100 Deadliest Days in 2020 showed an increase in serious or fatal collisions but a decrease in the total number, 2021's data appeared to have three distinct possibilities.
One school of thought was that the return to normal would result in data more aligned with the pre-2020 trend. Another was that reopening would release pent-up desire to venture out. Alternatively, the data could lie somewhere in between.
After review, it appears that this year's collision data does appear to fall between trend lines, though in a rather unfortunate way. While 2021 saw 803 serious or fatal collisions to the previous years 831, around a 3% decline, the total number of accidents spiked harshly from 10,774 to 25,306 (a 250% increase), the largest total of the years studied.
The odd phenomenon of total accidents spiking so dramatically paired with a reduction, however small, in serious or fatal collisions is only made possible by the outlier of a year like we had in 2020 and could lead to some misleading figures.
Surprising Data Points From 2021
One useful statistic to review when examining collision data is the incidence rate of serious collisions, or simply put, the percentage of the total collisions that resulted in serious injury or death.
This figure can be useful in getting a snapshot of just how safe our roads may or may not be when compared with previous years or other areas, but it can also be misleading.
The coronavirus pandemic brought a sharp spike in incidence rate, going from 4.3% in 2019 to 7.7% in 2020. But the drastic increase in total collisions during 2021's deadliest days resulted in a significantly lower incidence rate this year of just 3.2%.
This partial snapshot of data could be used to point to roads being safer in 2021 despite it coming as a result of more accidents occurring within the time period.
Because there were so many accidents this year, the ratio of serious or fatal accidents seems like a positive sign, being the lowest it has in the past five years. However, looking at the data through that lens takes away from the fact that there were many more people affected by car accidents this year.
What This Data Means For Drivers In Washington
Statewide statistics and totals are interesting, but as we've shown, sometimes only tell part of the story. That's why we examined numbers county by county to find which areas had a higher share of serious or fatal collisions per capita.
Drivers in King County actually saw a lower incident rate per capita at 0.0078%, or around 8 per one hundred thousand, well-below the state average of 10 per 100,000. Yakima County had the highest at 14 per 100,000 residents, closely followed by Pierce and Kitsap Counties at 13 and 11 per 100,000 respectively.
The four most populated counties, King, Pierce Snohomish, and Spokane account for nearly 60% of the state's total population. During the 100 Deadliest Days in 2021, they accounted for 54% of serious and fatal accidents.
Last year these same four counties accounted for roughly 47% of the total, meaning that less densely populated counties faced nearly half of the state's total serious collisions, despite housing only around 40% of the state's population.
Conclusions Based On 2021 Data
The fact that the deficit shrank between the less populated counties from 2020 to 2021 shows the attempt to return to normal and the effect the pandemic was still having on our states' more rural counties. While the rate of serious and fatal accidents did decrease this year, the evidence would suggest that many people were still looking to escape to outdoor recreation, as pandemic restrictions came and went repeatedly this summer.
Some counties saw significant increases in total collisions including Pacific, Walla Walla, Pend Oreille and Asotin, all with 2 to 3 times as many as the year before while others like Douglas, Okanogan, Clallam and Skamania actually saw a reduction of anywhere from 63% to 73%.
The coming months will bring even more challenges to drivers as we continue to explore the best options to reopen safely in an ever-changing landscape of guidelines and restrictions. Hopefully, the end of the summer months and a reduction in outdoor recreational activities will bring with it a reduction in serious collisions and some much-needed rest for first responders and caregivers in Washington after another hectic year for serious injuries and illnesses.

I am Jess Campmans...the eldest of 4 children who grew up in a two parent household of the 1980's on a farm near Edmonton, Alberta Canada. While I always felt blessed and taken care of, there was also a part of me that longed for something that I couldn't really explain and rarely told anyone about. The one and only place that I felt connected to this "thing" that I longed for was in the company of my horses and out in nature, and it was my horses that I chose over friends to share my deepest secrets with, except that there was never any words needed. It was simply a space of connection and of feeling, both of which I began to shut down in later years due to how vulnerable my connection and feeling left me in my human relationships.
My pivotal point was turning 33: with a husband, 4 kids and a dairy farm that needed me and my mental and physical health feeling like they were falling apart, not to mention my horses who refused to want anything to do with me.
Despite how much I thought I knew, none of what I was doing was helping me solve the problems that seemed to be continually blocking me in my body and in my life, spiralling me into greater disconnect. My decision to throw my hands up in the air and basically give up how I was doing things... I now understand as my letting go and surrendering myself to become a student of life again. The more I tuned in and listened to what showed up to teach me how to be, the more I became connected to something far greater and more inspiring than I had experienced for a long time ~ the flow of life, via my emotions and spiritual self. My surrendering everything that I knew how to do, finally allowed me the space to simply be and gave the Universe a chance to present ideas, synchronicities, and the people and animals that I now recognize as those who helped and supported my opening up, re-connecting to and expansion of my spiritual self and my consciousness.
And what I continue to be amazed at and inspired from, is the continuation of how once I let go of needing to know the how or why of something, and I simply trust and follow where I am being "led", there is always some form of energetic feedback or confirmation that is provided to me that I am on the right path. And while my life hasn't really changed much in my outer world, my inner world has been revolutionized through my own evolution of trusting and embodying my soul's wisdom, through the journey with my horses.
that which we do for ourselves"
Healing is facilitated through the energy of saying yes, and acknowledging that which wants to be acknowledged. Anything that has been repressed or suppressed is only wanting to heard and felt. It is this process of inviting what wants to be acknowledged into your awareness so can be free to live in the present moment and no longer attached to what was holding you back in the past.
Healing is innate to us, and truly does not need a modality but simply only space and an invitation.
I believe that when we become aware of something, we are given the opportunity to choose to see it from a new or different perspective that can ultimately give us the ability to recognize, assimilate and gain clarity around the bigger picture that gives us the ability to "see" from a point of view that allows the growth of our soul.
This allows for a release of an old identity and new connection through the heart (compassionate perspective) complete with the building of new neural pathways in the brain; supporting a "remembered" way of being in life, that of your inner nature & innate wisdom.
Thank you so much for this message Jess. I needed it...and more importantly I needed to hear and see you as the grounding, wise, calm, present voice/spirit you are. "
Thank you and your horses too. You are truly inspiring and I love to read your writings and watch your videos...I received great insight as to how to re-open myself to the horses and life in general.
Big love to Jess Belair Campmans for sharing her beautiful gift of healing.
I was experiencing unresolved grief, and she knew exactly where to go within my body, and untangle the negative energy.
The result was more than amazing!
Thank you for your wonderful wisdom and thank you to your herd. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my daily messages. What an amazing gift you have.

The 6 most exciting AI advances of 2016
By Hope Reese in Innovation on December 14, 2016, 6:50 AM PST
Innovations in driverless vehicle technology, voice recognition, and deep learning show how much machines can do to improve our lives. Here are the best examples from 2016.
Google's AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol at the game of Go

In 2016, major automakers like Tesla and Ford announced timelines for releasing fully-autonomous vehicles. DeepMind's AlphaGo, Google's AI system, beat the world champ Lee Sedol at one of the most complex board games in history. And other major advancements in AI have had big implications in healthcare, with some systems proving more effective in detecting cancer than human doctors.
Want to learn what other cool things AI did in 2016? Here are TechRepublic's top picks.
1. AlphaGo beats world champion at the game Go
In January 2016, Google's DeepMind achieved a major victory in deep learning—AlphaGo, a division of the company, mastered the ancient Chinese game Go. According to Demis Hassabis, head of DeepMind, this milestone came about ten years earlier than experts thought it would. At the annual Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence conference (AAAI) in February, Hassabis called Go the "most complex professional game man has ever devised," because of the huge number of potential moves that can be made. It's a game that many experts say relies on human intuition. AlphaGo was able to master the game by learning on millions of training samples from real games. In March, AlphaGo faced off with Lee Sedol, the world champion, and beat Sedol in four out of five games.
2. Tesla's Autopilot brings man with blood clot to hospital
Many news stories about Tesla's Autopilot—a semi-autonomous driving feature that includes speed-adjusting, lane-switching, and automatic braking—have focused on the fatality that occurred when Joshua Brown's Tesla Model S, engaged in this mode, crashed into an 18-wheeler crossing its path. But Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, continues to stress the point that cars are safer with Autopilot than without it. And stats back this up: According to a 2015 report by the US National Safety Council, the estimated annual mileage death rate is 1.3 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, while Autopilot-users have driven more than 130 million miles with only one verified fatality.

But, here's one concrete way Autopilot did something great: It helped bring one man who was suffering a blood clot to the hospital. Joshua Neally began experiencing constriction in his chest while driving home from work, down the highway in Springfield, MO. His car, engaged in Autopilot, helped him navigate almost all the way to the hospital, and Neally credits the autonomous feature with saving his life.
3. Swarm AI predicts the Kentucky Derby
In May, the AI platform UNU made big waves after it was able to successfully predict the superfecta—top four horses, in exact order—at the Kentucky Derby. The "swarm" is a real-time online tool that brings people together to make a group decision. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous A.I., which created the platform, had been asked to create a "swarm" that could predict the Kentucky Derby—a race that he and others thought would be virtually impossible to predict—by TechRepublic. The swarm predicted the exact superfecta, which none of the official Kentucky Derby experts had done, beating 540-1 odds.
4. Microsoft's AI can now understand speech better than humans
Speech recognition came a long way in 2016, with virtual assistants like Echo becoming hugely popular. In October, research from Microsoft showed that, in comparing the ability of AI with humans in a conversational speech task, "For the first time...automatic recognition performance [is] on par with human performance on this task." Its system used convolutional and recurrent neural networks, trained on 2,000 hours of data, to achieve this victory.

5. AI predicts US election
While the outcome of the US presidential came as a huge surprise to many, even insiders, one AI system saw it coming: An Indian startup in Mumbai called MogIA predicted a Trump win. The company analyzed social media sentiment through 20 million social media data points. In this way, it may have tapped into true voter preferences in a way that traditional polling did not. (TechRepublic held a "swarm AI" to predict the election, which gave a narrow edge to Clinton. While inaccurate, given her lead in the popular vote—over 2.8 million, as of this writing—it may not have been that far off, after all.)
While some AI experts are cautious about giving MogIA's victory too much weight, it was, nonetheless, able to predict an event that most humans were not.
6. AI improves cancer diagnosis
"There have been major AI advances in healthcare," said Roman Yampolskiy, director of the Cybersecurity Lab at the University of Louisville. For instance: IBM Watson may be able to spot health issues that your doctor can't. Speaking at the Business Insider's Ignition Conference, David Kenny, general manager of IBM Watson, told a story about how the cognitive machine detected leukemia in a woman in Japan that had been previously missed. "Statistically, we're seeing that about one third of the time, Watson is proposing an additional diagnosis," Kenny said.
And one AI program at the Houston Methodist Research Institute in Texas reviewed millions of mammograms—30 times faster than humans—and had a 99% accuracy in interpreting diagnostic information found in patient charts. "My mom had breast cancer," said Fabio Cardenas, president of Sundown AI, "so it's encouraging to see AI to improve differential diagnoses and patient care."

Claudia von Werlhof: Interview on Geoengineering, HAARP, 5G
Claudia von Werlhof wrote to Greta Thunberg. In this letter Von Werlhof tells that the disruption of the global climate is not due to CO2.
Following questions arose from this letter for Silvia Terribili, who asked von Werlhof to give an interview for her radio show Onda Italiana on salto.nl, April 9th.
Here you find the Radio Interview:
Where can we find scientific evidence for this, since the mainstream information tells us every day that the climate disruption is due to CO2?
Some 30 years ago concerned environmentalists already asked for a drastic reduction of air pollutants, especially transboundary air pollutants like SOx, NOx, and toxic aerosols. The narrative today changed completely. We only seem to be concerned about global warming. What does this mean? That air pollutants are not dangerous anymore?
Some 30 years ago we already warned that the protective ozone layer had been reduced. Nowadays we do not seem to care anymore for ozone depletion in the stratosphere. How could this be explained?
It seems that computer models predicting catastrophic global warming in the coming years are parameterized. The risks of framing the outcome of these mathematic models is high. What can you say about this?
Two thirds of the Earth are covered by oceans, why do not we measure the temperature of oceans in order to understand the so called global warming? Is the temperature of the Pacific Ocean really much warmer today than before the industrial Revolution? We know that all climate on Earth depends on the behavior of oceans, especially the Pacific. How can we prove with scientific evidence that the pollution caused by industrialized countries is much more effective on a global scale than the behavior of oceans?
You have been studying the works of Rosalie Bertell. What are the most important findings and statements of her?
Climate engineering is a potential climate weapon that can be used on a global scale. Why is Europe not concerned at all about this risk? Why is public debate on this issue practically not existent?
What are ionospheric heaters ? What do we know about the experiments that are been conducted and directing a huge bundle of energy in the ionosphere at 60 km altitude? Why is public debate on this issue completely absent? What is Europe doing in order to monitor these kinds of dangerous experiments being carried out on our continent?
May 23 to 26th The European Elections are coming. What can we do, as concerned Europeans, to put climate engineering and all related risks on the electoral agenda, because we expect European institutions to protect 300 million citizens from the risks of these extremely dangerous technologies.

VODAFONE FOUNDATION INSTANT NETWORK TEAM DEPLOYED TO NEPAL
The Vodafone Foundation Instant Network Mini has been taken to the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal to help restore communications to some of the areas worst affected by the recent earthquake.
Vodafone Foundation Instant Network team now in Kathmandu and preparing to deploy Instant Network equipment to connect rescue workers and relatives
First-ever deployment of Instant Network Mini 'network in a backpack'
Vodafone's philanthropic arm supports relief effort with £100,000 donation
The Vodafone Foundation Instant Network Mini, a portable 'mobile network in a backpack', has been taken to the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal to help restore communications to some of the areas worst affected by last weekend's earthquake.
The Instant Network Mini, an 11kg mobile network in a backpack which can be set up in just 10 minutes, has arrived in Kathmandu with the Instant Network team leader on a commercial flight. The Instant Network team will offer support to local operators to help restablish mobile communications, helping aid workers communicate during the relief effort and enabling people to contact their loved ones following the devastating earthquake.
The Vodafone Foundation has a team of volunteers, all Vodafone employees, on standby to deploy additional Instant Network equipment, including the larger, 100kg Vodafone Foundation Instant Network – a mobile network in four suitcases which can be taken on a commercial flight – as well as a new 3G version of the Instant Network.
The team, working alongside NGO Télécoms Sans Frontières, is currently awaiting instruction from the local operators and NGOs working in Nepal as to when and where the equipment should be deployed. The equipment will be deployed once the scope of the mission is confirmed.
The Instant Network Mini is a robust backpack that can be taken as hand luggage on commercial flights and deployed by non-technical staff. Instant Network Mini can connect up to five mobile phone users to global telecoms networks within a radius of 100 metres and enable text messages to be sent to thousands of people to provide crucial information following a disaster.
The larger Vodafone Foundation Instant Network is light enough to travel in the back of a car or on commercial flights, enabling a quick response to disasters. Consisting of an antenna, a foldable mast, an industrial computer and base transceiver station, the equipment is powered by generators and can provide coverage within a radius of one kilometre. The Vodafone Foundation Instant Network was deployed in the Philippines in November 2013 during Typhoon Haiyan, where over 443,000 calls were made and 1.4 million SMS were sent in 29 days.
The Vodafone Foundation has also announced that it has made a donation of £100,000 to the UK Disaster Emergency Appeal (DEC) to support the relief effort in Nepal.
This is the second time in two months that the Vodafone Foundation has responded with emergency telecommuncations support in the aftermath of a natural disaster. In March, a team of volunteers deployed to Tanna Island, Vanuatu, where they supported humanitarian calling operations to those affected by Cyclone Pam.
Andrew Dunnett, Vodafone Foundation Director, said: "Establishing communications in the aftermath of a natural disaster is crucial, both for the coordination of aid and to enable those affected to reconnect with family and friends. Through our Instant Network programme, we are able to deploy our people and our technology to provide communications support at a critical time."


We end the week with one of the top 3 most important first-person shooters of all time, Quake. Like Doom, iD Software continued to evolve the FPS genre with many new features. It was considered the first full 3D FPS since Descent is arguably more of a flight combat sim than a first-person shooter. They also developed a full TCP/IP network stack for the engine which allowed for easy multiplayer gaming. Best of all was the modding community behind this game. Before releasing the demo, iD had released something called QTest which was aimed as a tech demo of the upcoming game. Literally overnight there where servers already online and simple mods already uploaded for this tech demo. With that kind of dedication, you can imagine the game was quite a success when released.

The views of women in prison about help-seeking for intimate partner violence: at the intersection of 'survivor' and 'offender'
Day, Andrew, Gerace, Adam, Oster, Candice, O'Kane, Deb, and Casey, Sharon (2018) The views of women in prison about help-seeking for intimate partner violence: at the intersection of 'survivor' and 'offender'. Victims and Offenders, 13 (7). pp. 974-994.
PDF (Accepted author version) - Accepted Version

Women represent the fastest growing section of prison populations across the Western world (Jeffries & Newbold, 2016), with 'gender responsive' theories of crime proposing that experiences of victimization often create offending pathways dissimilar to those of male offenders (see Bloom, Owen, & Covington 2005; Salisbury & Van Voorhis, 2009). Women's experiences prior to incarceration have been shown, for example, to be characterized by high rates of child abuse, rape, and intimate partner violence (IPV) (Lynch, Fritch, & Heath, 2012). Of particular concern is the findings of one US study, that three quarters 75% of incarcerated women reported a history of physical violence perpetrated by an intimate partner (Browne, Miller, & Maguin, 1999). A more recent study, by Lynch, Fritch, and Health (2012) has also reported that 90% of female prisoners report physical and sexual violence from their partners in the year prior to incarceration. While such experiences may be important antecedents to a range of personal problems, which, in turn, lead to offending, these studies highlight how women who are in prison represent a group who potentially have an ongoing vulnerability to IPV after release (Cross, 2016). And yet, despite many prisoners returning to the same relationships and geographic contexts/communities that existed prior to incarceration, relatively little is known about the post-release experiences of women prisoners and the types of services that might be made available to maintain their safety.
