Lord of the Dance 3D
Other // PG // March 17, 2011
Review by Brian Orndorf | posted March 17, 2011 | E-mail the Author
Celebrating their 15th year stomping around the globe, Michael Flatley's "Lord of the Dance" troupe finally makes their way to the multiplex, an ideal venue to display their flying feet and pearly white smiles. Taking the spectacle further, the feature is presented in 3D, permitting Flatley and the gang screen depth that accurately communicates the dimensions of the stage show, offering fans a front row seat to a celebration of all things Flatley. Sequins shimmy! Dances are lorded! And Flatley magically repairs a broken flute with his rear end! What's not to like here?
Kicking off in Dublin in 1996, "Lord of the Dance" quickly became a cash cow for Michael Flatley who, now at age 52, looks like a man who's enjoyed his mega dose of success. Tanned, pulled tight, and muscular, Flatley is a die-hard showman and this film is a love letter to his ego, placing the pose-happy star front and center, while an appreciative Irish crowd at the O2 Arena soaks it all up. The victory lap atmosphere (the film opens with a list of all the sold-out shows Flatley's enjoyed) is earned I suppose, but certainly tiring, especially when the star wedges in an encouraging message about chasing dreams and never taking no for an answer. "Lord of the Dance" never struck me as a motivational extravaganza, but far be it for me to keep people away from the splatter of spray-tanned inspiration.
A straightforward presentation of the stage show, "Lord of the Dance 3D" isn't contorted to fit cinematic expanse, happily dishing out the same narrative and foot fury that's bewitched crowds since the 1990s. Fans will observe all the hits, leaps, and taps, while fiddle-playing blonde twins, masked baddies, and Flatley in various bejeweled outfits and Greek god poses angle for attention. It's a high-energy performance, but one of confusing storytelling, with the fantasy mush allegedly rooted in Irish folklore. For newcomers, the blur of spirits, saviors, and villains may come across as pure cheese, but there's a jazz-hands commitment to theatricality from the gang that helps the show motor through a few cringe-worthy moments, including a climatic battle where Flatley and his rival trade punches and high kicks to claim a bedazzled "Lord of the Dance" felt belt. It's all so very silly, but this level of silly made Flatley a multi-millionaire.
I doubt most audiences are going to pay attention to the narrative anyway, with fancy footwork obviously the main draw. The film delivers on the rumbling goods, showcasing rows of smiling dancers hoofing up a storm in shiny tap shoes. And there's no denying Flatley has a gift, one he loves to share with the audience. Tapping himself into a tizzy, the star supplies the speed and showmanship, impressing with his flair for movement and ability to comfortably model glittery costumes. Amazingly, Flatley is a highly romantic figure in the show, smooching ladies and bopping baddies, playing directly to his most ardent supporters: married women and grandmothers.
"Lord of the Dance 3D" doesn't necessarily bring anything fresh to Flatley's world outside of a lasting big screen snapshot of the show that made him legendary. Somehow, I don't think his fans will mind.

History is being made at this very moment, as UC Davis admits its Centennial Class. They are freshman and transfer applicants who are accepting offers of admission that have been posted online and sent by mail since around mid-March.
The university sent admission letters to about 21,000 freshman applicants. They have until May 1 to submit statements of intent to register (SIR), as the university looks to enroll a freshmen class of 5,000. Approximately 350 freshman SIRs had come in by March 24.
Transfer admission letters, an estimated 5,800 in all, will be going out through mid-April. The university's target for transfer enrollment is 1,900; these students have until June 1 to submit SIRs, and 265 transfers had done so by March 24.
The freshmen and transfer students of 2008-09 are billed as the Centennial Class because they will enter UC Davis 100 years after the University Farm enrolled its first students in 1908-09.
The university is planning a full year of celebrations, including a major exhibition at the state fair, Aug. 15-Sept. 1 (Labor Day), and a Fall Festival on and around campus, Oct. 10-15.
Because Undergraduate Admissions recruited the 2008-09 freshmen and transfer students as the Centennial Class, the university decided to honor them by giving them the first official look at the centennial logo.
The overlapping 100 appears on freshman and transfer admission letters and related materials, as well as the Undergraduate Admissions Web site.
"This is an academic year celebration, so we wanted to unveil the logo at the time we admitted the Centennial Class," said Laurie Lewis, the logo's designer.
Throughout the centennial year, you will be seeing the logo on all kinds of printed material, on the Web, on gifts and apparel at the bookstore, even on scrubs at the UC Davis Health System.
Lewis said she believes the logo "speaks to where we've come from and where we're going."
She said the straight-line left edge of the "1" represents the university's solid foundation, and symbolizes an architectural column that is indicative of education.
The overlapping zeroes show forward momentum, said Lewis, design manager for the publications unit of University Communications and creative director on the centennial planning team.
The planning team says the campus community can use the logo in solid color or with a photo showing through.
"That's a cool way for everyone to see themselves and their units in the centennial celebration," Lewis said.
With different photos showing through, the logo "comes to life," she said. Also, the photographic variety offers an opportunity to highlight the university's diversity and personality in people and programs.
"We could have picked one symbol, say the Quad, but there is so much more to us," Lewis said. "Our soul is really about the interdisciplinary work that goes on here."
Lewis will be working with schools and colleges and major administrative units on proper use of the logo and photo selection. A guide is posted online, at centennial.ucdavis.edu; the site includes samples that can be used in mock-ups for printed materials.


These days, more and more people are choosing cremation over burials more than ever. Because of this, the funeral and diamond industries are being reshaped to create new opportunities for cremation diamond companies such as Heart In Diamond. The funeral business, once a $20 billion industry, is experiencing hardships due to people who are opting for diamonds from cremated remains and eco-friendly internments.
After a cremation ceremony, there are a lot of options on how to remember your loved ones. Some families opt to remember their loved ones through memorial trees or just keep their ashes in urns. These days, another incredibly popular option is to convert them into diamonds.
Thanks to the advancement in technology and economic boom, traditional rituals have been moving on from old-fashioned to current trends. One of the well-known post-burial alternatives is turning the ashes of your loved ones into diamonds. Just like mined diamonds, cremation diamonds are made from heat and pressure. Plus, cremation diamonds include the carbon extracted from the ashes of a loved one.
Heart In Diamond is changing the way that people can commemorate their lives through memorial diamonds. We create diamonds from hair and ashes from human or pets as opposed to other lab-created diamond manufacturers who just create man-made diamonds.
Why are People Choosing Cremation and Cremation Diamonds?
Some of the reasons that people are choosing cremation and diamonds made from ashes are the prevalence of groundwater pollution and increasing cemetery population. rising prices of traditional cemetery burials, which include the prices of the coffin, the burial land, rent and maintenance, and the funeral ceremony, families just choose to spend their money in investing in a cremation diamond, for they can use it more wisely and even feel closer to their loved ones.
Grieving can be a difficult process, but you can honor your loved one's life and legacy by creating a beautiful cremation diamond in their memory. Regardless if you lost a loved one or suffered a trauma, creating a memorial in the form of a beautiful diamond can be helpful in the grief healing process.
Cremation diamonds are diamonds made from the carbon of hair or ashes. Compared to mined diamonds, cremation diamonds are made quickly and efficiently. Made from a loved one's or pet's hair, or cremation ashes, these authentic pieces serve as a sparkling reminder of lost loved ones or a special moment such as a wedding anniversary or birth. We are very different from other manufacturers who only create man-made diamonds. From the hair of a couple, we can create a fabulous diamond wedding ring. We can also create necklaces, rings, and earrings from the ashes of your beloved pet, so that you can remember them in a special way.
Over the past decades, cremation diamonds are becoming more and more popular. With the production of these mined diamonds, they are now becoming associated with diamonds. Because of their shared characteristics of diamonds, they are now growing in popularity and demand. With the help of the four C's – color, carat, cut, and clarity – these cremation diamonds are now turned into jewelry, just like mined diamonds. They offer the same spectacular sparkle and shine, and can be worn as pendants, rings, and bracelets. Cremation diamonds can also be chosen while someone is still alive and allows them to be included in the process of how they want to be remembered. Death may be a difficult subject to deal with but allowing your loved one to choose their own cremation diamond gives them the power to choose how they will be remembered.
Mined diamonds are extracted through the process of mining. However, a memorial diamond is identical to a mined diamond chemically, visually, and physically. In the last 10 years or so, the science of creating high-quality diamonds using a man-made technique has been perfected.
The most popular choices for cremation diamond jewelry are earrings, necklaces, and rings. For necklaces, a pendant is a very popular choice because it is worn close to your heart, just as your loved one will always remain in yours. The setting can be premade or custom-made. Another type of jewelry that can be created from cremation diamonds are rings. Every time you see the ring, you can reminisce about the memories that you and your loved one have enjoyed. Couples can also create their diamond wedding rings from their very own hair.
Heart In Diamond cremation diamonds are changing lives by producing heirlooms that encourage families to share their memories, laughter, and love for a lifetime. Processing the death of a loved one takes people on a journey that they would normally avoid. Our cremation diamond jewelry makes the process a little bit easier and helps achieve the goal of remembering a loved one through special means.


Not long ago Walmart's head of food safety challenged his team to determine the origin of a package of sliced mangoes bought at one of the firm's stores near its headquarters in Arkansas. It took them almost seven full days to trace the mangoes back to the farm in Mexico where they were grown.
That has some troubling implications in the event tainted mangoes start showing up in different locations.
Alarmed by this result, Walmart decided to test the possibility of using blockchain to track and digitally record shipments of sliced mangoes. Pallets were tagged, and their status was then logged at each step from farm to store shelf.
Once the system was in place, Walmart could call-up all of the details about a particular lot in two seconds. And the application could show not only a product's path through the supply chain – when it arrived and left specific locations – but also important details about the journey; for example, customs stamps or the latest safety certificate for the cold storage warehouse it sat in along the way.
When blockchain emerged in 2009 as the technology underlying bitcoin, the cryptocurrency garnered almost all of the initial attention. It's only been in the past few years that people have started to consider the possibilities offered by a secure, decentralized and distributed ledger housed on a shared platform.
That's led to tremendous interest – and hype. Some commentators, for instance, predict blockchain will represent the fifth major wave in computing, after mainframes, personal computers, the internet and social networks.
Until recently, predictions about blockchain's potential – disruptive fifth wave or ephemeral pixie dust – have been just that: predictions. That's because, apart from serving as the distributed ledger for various cryptocurrencies, there have been only a handful of actual use cases for blockchain in a commercial environment.
That's changing. In addition to Walmart, other companies – including XL Catlin – have recently announced successful proof-of-concept projects that confirm the technical feasibility of different blockchain applications in a variety of industries.
Marine insurance is one of the most complex segments of our industry. It features an international scope, numerous and varied stakeholders, and extremely valuable assets that are constantly on the move.
Moreover, many of the processes underpinning marine insurance today are time and resource intensive. It's a complicated tangle of communications and transactions between clients, brokers, direct insurers, co-insurers, reinsurers, captives, claims adjustors, and tax and regulatory authorities.
That's the backdrop for a recent pilot project involving the global shipping company Maersk, consulting firm EY, blockchain vendor Guardtime, XL Catlin and others. The project aimed to test the notion that a blockchain-enabled platform was both technically viable, and as importantly, could promote collaboration, improve transparency and reduce costs.
The 20-week trial was designed as a proof-of-concept exercise and focused primarily on collecting and maintaining asset data that could be shared among multiple, verified parties.
The initiative was successful, and the platform will launch next year.
The success of this pilot is likely to provide further impetus to the development of other blockchain applications in diverse segments of our industry.
One of our clients, for instance, has approached us about developing a blockchain for its global Property program. The idea here is to streamline and simplify the premium allocation process by capturing and validating all of the relevant data in a distributed ledger.
This process currently involves collecting and verifying detailed and up-to-date data on asset values, loss histories and the like in all of the countries covered by the program. For the risk manager, it's a tedious and time-consuming bureaucratic process that diverts scarce resources from more consequential elements of the company's enterprise risk management program.
Transitioning this activity to a blockchain platform could transform an administrative chore that adds little value to a routine activity that requires minimal time and attention. It's also possible that this application could include smart contracts which are executed after a set of conditions is met.
Using smart contracts to transfer funds between varied stakeholders automatically is another potential benefit. It's likely, for example, that smart contracts enabled by blockchain will soon be used to make routine claims payments, move monies between a captive and parent company, and issue certificates of insurance within a global program.
The Maersk proof-of-concept project also provided useful lessons on the challenges and critical success factors involved in unlocking blockchain's potential.
One significant finding is that data quality is still paramount. Transactions and processes enabled by a distributed ledger shared by diverse participants can promote transparency and reduce if not eliminate the need for third-party verification. Achieving these benefits, however, still depends on the consistency and accuracy of the data feeds from external systems to the blockchain.
Another is that transparency is both a benefit and a risk. One of the virtues of blockchain is that it creates a single version of the truth. Blocks, after all, can't be added until they're verified by all of the participants. However, that could also serve as a source of systemic risk if that version of the truth evolves into a falsehood.
Finally, while improving the many overly complex, inefficient and suboptimal processes that consume so much of our time and resources is exciting and important, process efficiency improvements alone are not necessarily innovative. Which raises the question: as blockchain-enabled platforms start to sweep away some of these legacies, will that propel greater innovation within the industry?
I think the answer is yes, for two reasons.
Firstly, developing new and innovative solutions and business models is constrained when the status quo is weighed down by process inefficiencies. Take away some of those constraints, and you've created an environment that is much more conducive to fostering innovation.
Secondly, blockchain applications themselves could enable new solutions and business models. In marine insurance, for instance, hull underwriters can't readily adjust rates based on the risk profile of a particular journey. But what if they could access a blockchain-enabled platform with data from onboard sensors and weather satellites? It's possible to envision how that capability could be used to develop schemes similar to the "pay-as-you-drive/pay-how-you-drive" solutions some motor insurers offer.
And that's just one possibility. Within XL Catlin, for example, we have many other initiatives underway, in addition to various blockchain-related efforts, focusing on new technologies and data sources. In general, these aim to positively impact how we underwrite new and emerging risks, support global programs and captives, and settle claims.
While innovation and adaptation are not new focal points for us, what's different today is that our project teams can approach their respective efforts with much greater flexibility and creativity. In my discussions with various team members, they continually remind me how refreshing it is to consider novel solutions that leverage the profusion of data flowing from connected objects and synthesized by increasingly powerful artificial intelligence applications that are supported, in turn, by secure and streamlined blockchain-enabled processes. Exciting times indeed.
It's too soon to say of course if blockchain emerges as the disruptive fifth wave. Nonetheless, the success of the Maersk proof-of-concept project provides tangible evidence of the value blockchain-enabled platforms can create for stakeholders across the insurance value chain.

A hypothetical for you

Open invitation to my island
There exists a hypothetical Earth. On this Earth is a secluded island. 100 random people from this hypothetical Earth are brought to the island and granted a trillion years of existence - and can end their existence if they wish. In addition, these people never feel pain or suffering.
Unfortunately, this comes with a cost. Every 100 years, a random person from that group is given a choice. The details of that decision are below:
The first choice: You will be given
a permanent existence (that can end at any time you wish), but all of those 99 people are tormented and tortured for that permanency as well.
The second choice: You decline, and will not be given permanent existence right there and then. No one will be tortured. But every 100 years, a random person from that society will be given this choice, until the trillion years are up.
This takes place on a fictionalized Earth. A person who made the first choice also gains the ability to leave this island of tortured souls and sail away to any other country filled with normal humans - they wouldn't have an eternity of being alone. But those remaining in the society would still be there, on the island, unable to be rescued - forever.
Which option would you take? Essentially this is the prisoner's dillemma taken to the extreme. I got inspiration from this hypothetical from Berserk.
Also,
this isn't a monkey's paw, genie, BS situation. The terms are absolutely clear. If you choose the first option, you're guaranteed to be free from an existence of constant, excruciating pain/torture.
All of those "be careful what you wish for!!" tropes are really just there because people get uncomfortable with these kinds of questions. Self-punishing and fearful as we are, we're afraid to look these hypotheticals in the eye, and it's easier to change the premise of the question than to simply answer it.

Are you able to take anything seriously? Your forced, childish demeanor will only hurt you in this world. Please read everything in the OP once again, and tell me what choice you'd genuinely make if you were the one randomly selected.
Also posted this on Reddit, if you'd like to see the answers people are giving there.

i would spend 99 years on this island and find a way to "end my existence" just before the time comes for someone to make that choice
at that point, i've already lived what could essentially be considered a "full life" where i didn't have to suffer, and i've never had ambitions to live much longer than that, so there's absolutely no point in playing this silly game with a bunch of potentially sadistic morons for a trillion more years
when you account for things like aging, living more than a normal human lifespan isn't as desirable as most people think it is—i'm willing to bet that most people would choose to end their own lives before they even turned 200
therefore, to make this hypothetical more compelling, shorten the trillion years to just ten years, where someone is given the choice every single month, and instead of gaining simple immortality, you would get to spend that eternity in some sort of paradise, like heaven, while everyone gets cast to hell for as long as you would choose to remain in heaven
also, consider removing the option to just kill yourself—because that's still what i would choose to do in that situation, knowing that i wouldn't have anyone tortured, but that i can't trust anyone else to feel the same way, and that being dead is infinitely preferable to being tortured against my will for eternity
people don't want to live forever—they want to be happy forever, and on an island like this, there may be no suffering, but if there's no guarantee of happiness, then what makes living here any different than toiling in the normal world? there's basically no difference, so it's not a very thought-provoking hypothetical

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.
The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
If it's a perfect world, I wouldn't get bored and would be content with my 'modest' trillion years. In this perfect world I get to die in my sleep painlessly one day and that would be pretty neat too.
Seems a bit pointless to torture someone if it's a perfect world. It's a *perfect world*, so the defined time period is already built in to be perfect too.

All posts made under this account are works of fiction and satire under the ongoing online fictional writing project known as "dahuterschuter - A Character Study".
Basically just a prisoner's dilemma. You have to take the option to sell out the others because the odds are that they're going to do o to you if you don't. You can't trust that everyone will maintain their virtue, and the fact that even one of them could also consider this possibility means you have to. Out of 100 people it's guaranteed one will, which means you have to do it in order to not suffer it yourself.
Quote from: dahuterschuter on October 26, 2021, 04:23:29 PM
Out of 100 people it's guaranteed one will
it isn't guaranteed, there's no way to be sure of that
otherwise, you're sadly correct
It is though. in fact it'd probably be many. Every person who realizes that the choice it trusting 99 other people completely, or not, is not going to blindly trust 99 other people randomly selected from the population.
it's not necessarily about trust—it's also about you, personally, NOT wanting 99 people to suffer for all eternity and understanding that you have the power to prevent that
do you know how easy it would be for me to find 99 people who would take the second option? even if i had a hard time, if you assume any number of people would share my mentality, there's no reason to suspect that it would be impossible for 99 others to feel the same
the furthest you can go is "it's overwhelmingly likely"—you can't guarantee it any more than i can guarantee the opposite
if it was 100 dahuterschuters on this island, then you'd be wise to choose the first option, but not everybody is you (or someone like you), and that's the point—i'm sure there have been countless stories written about this level of myopia
Nah, you can't just ignore the entirety of game theory.
I think I'll have to make the updated hypothetical tomorrow guys. Sam and I went over to our friend Camille's house, who I recently got into Twin Peaks. She was on the penultimate episode ("Miss Twin Peaks"), which precedes the legend of a finale ("Beyond Life and Death"). I told her there was no way that she watches those last two episodes without me there with her lol. So we ordered some pizzas and had some mixed drinks (I also did 200mg of DXM covertly - a very low dose) and watched the best hour and a half of television that anyone has ever come up with, ever. Such a cozy night.
Anyway I definitely want to expand on this hypothetical. Give me a day or two and I'll use Verb's wisdom to make a truly compelling one.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Trapped on an island with a hundred random people?
Give me that first option fam.
Can't wait to torture this idiot for a trillion years while I'm chilling in paradise
if whatever you think "game theory" means clashes with basic, fundamental things like stochasticity that hard, i think i can
do you deny that if you flip a coin a million times, you COULD get heads every single time? or do you think it's literally impossible for that to happen (you know, instead of just extremely unlikely)
Quote from: Coomer on October 27, 2021, 01:56:05 PM
which is another thing that separates this from a true prisoner's dilemma in the sense that having the choice-makers be randomly chosen is imbalanced—why should some random person get to choose first over another random person? what's the logic behind that? if i were second in line, and the very first person chose to fuck everyone over, that kinda just throws the whole experiment out the window right off the bat
then again, the closer you model the hypothetical after the prisoner's dilemma, the more you might as well just be thinking about the prisoner's dilemma, where the choices are made simultaneously between just two people
^ the most optimal response to the prisoner's dilemma, but only if the "prisoners" (obviously contestants in this case) are allowed to communicate with each other
Human behaviour isn't a coin flip.
but this hypothetical doesn't really observe complex human behavior—it observes the choice between a simple binary of options for which there exist compelling reasons to take either, depending on your disposition
we don't know how the islanders are chosen, so we can assume that they'd be chosen randomly
take a random youtube video with at least 100 dislikes, but a like/dislike ratio of 99:1—out of all the people who rated this video one way or the other, let's randomly select 100 of those people
out of those randomly selected individuals, it's very unlikely that all 100 of them voted to dislike the video, but since we already know that 100 people did, we already know that there's a remote possibility of such a thing occurring
it's the same principle here, except rather than using raw data to support my position, i'm essentially using common sense—i'm personally fairly confident that there's more than 100 people on this planet of 7.9 billion who would never have anyone tortured under any circumstances, even if it would grant them immortality
to put it another way, in order to disagree with my position, you would have to believe that the world's population contains less than 100 people who would choose the second option, and that you also just happen to be speaking to one of them—that would be pretty remarkable
knowing that these people exist is enough to say that it isn't guaranteed that someone on that island will vote to fuck everyone over—you can only be 99.99999% sure if you want, but you cannot be 100% sure unless you happen to know all of the people on the island
i'm basically explaining the difference between "unlikely" and "impossible" to you right now, which i don't think i should have to do, so i can only assume you already understand this, and that you're just being semantically imprecise or deliberately obtuse
Well firstly, yes the entire point of the hypothetical is observing human behaviour.
Second, Verb, you seem to be not understanding that the entire point is that the possibility of one of the 100 condemning you is what constitutes the game theory outcome of it being necessary for you to be that one. You're for some reason stuck way back at unlikely and impossible for some reason when it has nothing to do with anything I'd said. The scenario already makes it possible that 1 or more of the hundred condemn you to torment, which is what then triggers the prisoner dilemma action of it being the best choice to sell out everyone else to your own benefit every time.
You only need to arrive at "Is it possible someone does it to me?" to then be moved forward to doing the thing yourself first becoming the best strategy to avoid the negative outcome. Why you're still way back at the process of determining if it's possible or not when the scenario itself has already gotten past it makes no sense.
are you somewhat happy I came up with this
idk I want to expand what I post about here and even if my hypothetical wasnt compelling at least it led to some activity/discussion here right
I mean I know you still despise me but if you want to see me make more threads in this vein please let me know with a little bit of positive reinforcement if that's not an overstep to ask
Here's a thought about individuality and human nature
The only sure way of a happy ending to this dilemma is if everyone held a common understanding with each other. The reason to chose the selfish option is the threat of others doing the same. Now everyone involved could be willing to choose peace but the fact remains that you just don't (and can't) know what others will do. The risk is what drives people to pick the selfish option.
How do we reach an understanding then? We can't. Because we are all individuals, there is simply no way to guarantee people will think like you. And because there is no guarantee, you will always be forced to pick the selfish option. It's almost like a self fulfilling prophecy in a way. If everyone just did the right thing, there would be no need for you to do the wrong thing.
But because there is always risk, people will always be selfish. And there will always be risk because we are individuals. Such is the price of freedom
Last Edit: October 27, 2021, 06:10:04 PM by Coomer
Actually you are the one being obtuse because the difference between unlikely and impossible is so irrelevant to this discussion that there is no reason to bring it up
It's like if I said "you won't spontaneously combust right now" and you said "ah but there is a chance you could"
ok bro you right good job
he used the word "guarantee" wrong, and i carefully explained to him why it was
when someone is wrong, they have to be corrected—it doesn't matter if it's "relevant" (which it is, you're just being your typical dumbass self as usual)
yes, because if you said that you could NEVER spontaneously combust, then you're missing the point of the word "spontaneously," and that is something that ought to be corrected, because it's bad to be wrong
glad you get it, good job
you have a small peepee lol
easy clap

Beko's Refrigerator Technology Keeps Produce Fresh Up to 30 Days
Bolingbrook, Ill. (June 30, 2017) – Beko (www.bekoappliances.com), the #1 European freestanding home appliance brand just introduced into the North American market, has created a 19.9 cu. ft. French door refrigerator/freezer (BFFD3622SS) featuring the perfect conditions for food to stay fresh up to 30 days*.
With meticulous temperature management and precise humidity control, Beko's EverFresh+ technology keeps fresh food fresher three times longer than the average refrigerator, according to Sazi Bugay, director of product management, Beko US, Inc. This means that one month later, apples, heads of lettuce and/or celery stalks will be just as crisp and delicious as the day they were placed it in the refrigerator's EverFresh+ compartment.
In addition, Beko has developed the NeoFrost™ dual cooling technology to ensure food stays fresher, longer. Unlike conventional single cooling systems, NeoFrost uses two separate cooling systems to maintain optimal humidity in the fridge, while keeping the freezer dry and frost-free. It also cools up to twice as fast and keeps the airflow completely separate between the refrigerator and the freezer, so food odors never transfer between compartments.
Another feature, the Active Fresh Blue Light, continues the process of photosynthesis of produce in the refrigerator, providing prolonged storage life and freshness of fruits and vegetables while maintaining their natural flavors and nutritional elements.
Beko Cooling/Add One
"Our kitchen solutions deliver forward-thinking technology and maximum efficiency in beautifully modern packages to make life better," Bugay said. "Our entire line of refrigerators is ENERGY STAR® compliant…and that's good not only for the environment, but also for your electric bill."
The refrigerator's flexible storage capacity keeps a wide variety of items – from party platters and two-liter soda bottles, to gourmet cheeses and last bites of delicious desserts – visible and accessible. With height-adjustable cantilevered shelves, freezer sliding storage, gallon bins and extra-large capacity pantry and freezer drawers, Beko refrigerators allow for quick adjustments, easy organization, and maximum space.
Other features that make this refrigerator special include:
Turbo Ice Maker™: Generates a cool 11 pounds of ice in 24 hours, preventing last-minute trips to the store when friends and family pop in for a visit.
Fingerprint-Free Stainless Steel: Makes fingerprints nonexistent, so the refrigerator always looks spotless, clean and shiny.
IonGuard: Neutralizes bacteria, viruses and particles in the refrigerator, creating an antibacterial effect.
The refrigerator, which is available now for $2,499, measures 69 ¾ x 35 ¾ x 26 ¾ inches. For more information, visit www.bekoappliances.com. For a list of authorized dealers, visit www.bekoappliances.com/where-to-buy.

Weekly SEO news: 21 December 2021
1. It's not enough to remove technical errors from your website to rank well on Google
Technical errors can block search engines from accessing your web pages. Unfortunately, it is not enough to fix these technical errors. You need more to get high rankings on Google and other search engines.
1. You must remove technical errors from your web pages
Your website can have many technical errors that keep search engines away from your website. Many of these errors are invisible. For example, your pages could return the wrong HTTP status code. If a web page does not deliver a "200 OK" HTTP status code, chances are that search engines will ignore the page. Unfortunately, your web browser does not show the HTTP status codes that your web pages send.
There can be invalid URLs, broken pages, duplicate content, issues with the titles, etc. All of these things can have a negative impact on the rankings of your web pages o Google and other search engines. That's why it is so important to fix these errors.
The website audit tool in SEOprofiler helps you to fix errors that have a negative impact on your search engine rankings.
2. Your website still needs good content
John Mueller said in a webmaster hangout on YouTube that it's not enough to fix technical errors. Your website also needs good content:
"If you're working on your website for a while, then sometimes you focus on a lot of the technical details and you forget about the bigger picture. [...]
Keep in mind that just because something is technically correct, doesn't mean that it's relevant to users and the search results. That it doesn't mean that it will rank high.
If you clean up your whole website and you fix all of the issues, but, for example, if your website contains lots of terrible content, then it still won't rank that high.
So you need to, on the one hand, understand which of these technical issues are actually critical for your website to have fixed.
And on the other hand, you really need to focus on the user aspect as well to find whatever issues that users are having, and how can my web site help to solve those issues or to help answer those questions?"
The website audit tool in SEOprofiler sorts the errors that it finds into categories: errors (critical), warnings (should be fixed) and notices (not as important as the other two categories but should be fixed for a perfect website).
3. It also depends on your competition
If the competition is strong, it's not enough to have an error free website with good content.
"For some of these niches, there is a lot of really strong competition from people who have been working at this for a long, long time. And that can make a quite a bit more difficult than something that has a lot less competition."
In this case, it's usually the website that has the better links that will outrank the other websites. Improve the links that point to your website to improve the rankings of your web pages on Google. Analyzing and improving the existing links of your website can often lead to great results.
Optimize your web pages now
To get high rankings on Google and other search engines, you need an error-free website, good content, and good links. SEOprofiler can help you with all of that:
Improve your rankings now
Google: our November 2021 local search update has concluded
"Our November 2021 local search update has concluded. It began Nov 30 and ran through Dec 8. It involved a rebalancing of various factors we consider in generating local search results."
Google search ranking algorithm tremors continue & it's big
"The Google search results are still super volatile and we are seeing high levels of chatter spike back up over the past 24 to 48 hours and the tracking tools are also running incredibly hot. There is just so much going on right now in Google Search for an SEO that taking off for Christmas might not be an option for many."
The Vicinity update: what you need to know about Google's largest local algorithm update in 5 years
"I believe that this was an update that impacted proximity, making it weight heavier. It may have also devalued the impact of keywords in the business name. I'm seeing uniformly that map packs have shrunk, are way more zoomed in, and are displaying a wider variety of businesses, many of which were invisible before."
Google: We look at language on a per page basis, not site wide basis
"This is just a reminder, that Google says it does not look at the language of your site overall but rather the language of each of your individual pages on your site. So you can have some pages in English, some in Spanish, some in Hebrew, etc. Just don't mix the languages on the same page, the same URL."
Ghost directories on your website do not affect SEO.
Google Ads: frequent or large target changes won't negatively affect impact bid strategy performance.
Google calls itself green. But it's still making ad money from climate-change denial.

PHO and GRAS: FDA's Tool to "Run the Table" on the Food Industry?
The food and beverage industry is one of the most regulated industries on the planet – and for good reason. The health and safety of the public is at stake. Food companies know it, regulators know it and consumers know it.
Traditionally, industry and its chief regulators at FDA and USDA work together, in the public interest, to ensure the United States continues to have the safest food supply in the world. That has changed in recent years.
The activist Obama Administration, in collaboration with its allies in the NGO community and sympathetic journalists, is waging a regulatory war on the food industry, the likes of which haven't been seen since the early part of the 20th Century.
A prime example is FDA's current effort to ban Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs) from the food supply. The agency has no evidence to suggest that PHOs at the very low levels they exist in our food supply jeopardize public health. Their suppositions are based on outdated consumption and health data from years ago.
Even more striking than FDA's action on PHOs is the way they are going about it – by revoking the ingredient's Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status. Opponents of the food industry – giddy over their victories against the tobacco industry – have been frustrated for years that they have not been able to achieve the same level of success in the courts, Congress and FDA that they did against the tobacco industry.
So the latest strategy is to "run the table" on food companies by systematically using the GRAS program for political gain. PHOs are just the first ingredient under the microscope. FDA has indicated it will examine the GRAS status of sodium and caffeine as well. Is Sugar next? What about colors, dyes and preservatives?
In addition, the FDA has stood on the sidelines while NGO groups like the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Natural Resources Defense Council have waged an angry and public campaign against the GRAS process.
Let's be clear – the GRAS process is not perfect, nothing is. However, companies use it well and responsibly to protect the public. At any given time, there are over 10,000 ingredients in the food supply. In the 50+ years since the GRAS process was put into place, hundreds of thousands of ingredients have been examined – and discarded or entered into the food supply.
The GRAS process has been used responsibly since 1958, and how many examples can opponents point to where the system failed? The PHO issue will be determined in due time. Industry has science and a successful track record on its side. But look beyond this battle to the war on food ingredients.
An "Iron Triangle" comprised of the activist Obama Administration, its allies in the NGO community and sympathetic friends in journalism – are looking for a tool to run the table on food ingredients using the GRAS process.

Q: Access denied, from an app, when getting List items from a different web applcation I have create a SharePoint Hosted App and installed on a Site which is located on WebApplication1. This app tries to get list items from a list in a site which is located on Webapplication2. I have tried different solutions (REST and csom) but it generates access denied. Following is my code.
I have added a RemoteEndPoint to the manifest file which points to the web that contains the list.
 var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));

var blogWebUrl = "https://webapplication2.com/personal/userName/Blog";

var context1 = new SP.ClientContext(appweburl);

var factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);

context1.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);

var blogWebContext = new SP.AppContextSite(context1, blogWebUrl);

var blogWeb = blogWebContext.get_web();

var list = blogWeb.get_lists().getByTitle("Posts");

var camlString =
  "<View><ViewFields>" +
      "<FieldRef Name='Title' />" +
      "<FieldRef Name='Body' />" +
  "</ViewFields></View>";

var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml(camlString);
var allPosts = list.getItems(camlQuery);

context1.load(allPosts, "Include(Title, Body)");

context1.executeQueryAsync(
   Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
       alert("okkkkk");
   }),
    Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
        alert('failed: ' + args.get_message());
    })
);

A: Is the MySite host in the same O365 tenancy or the same on-premises SharePoint web application as the app? If it is, then you can use SharePoint's Cross-Domain JavaScript Library. See the SDK topic http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179927.aspx
If they are not in the same tenancy or web application, then a SharePoint-hosted app cannot get data from the MySite. This is by design. It is for security reasons to block cross-domain scripting attacks. You will need to use a SharePoint provider-hosted app or a SharePoint autohosted app.

A: Your code seems okay at a glance.The "camlString" variable and the "Include(Title,Body)" seems redundant but I doubt that would cause any problem.

var blogWebUrl = "https://webapplication2.com/personal/userName/Blog";

^is this intentional? "/userName/Blog" doesn't seem right
Also, you can try to add an AppPermission in the App Manifest thats prompts you to accept the app to read Lists (select the list you want during the prompt) on install. Perhaps your site has permission issues.

Lisa Fuglie, fiddler with Minnesota's Monroe Crossing, had to go on the disabled list recently during the band's Caribbean cruise. She went ashore in Nassau, and took a fall which left her with both a broken left arm and right ankle.
She took a flight from Nassau to Minneapolis, where she underwent successful surgery to help the bones reset properly. The broken ankle will keep her off her feet for a while, but for a fiddler, a broken arm is a major setback.
Monroe Crossing is soldiering on in her absence, working as a four piece until Lisa can return. They say that it feels a bit odd this way, but hope to see her back on stage with them soon.

Generally, companies or funds that offer securities for sale are subject to burdensome (and costly) registration and reporting requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, unless they fall within one of several exemptions. Perhaps the most common exemption is Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, which exempts sales of securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors plus up to 35 nonaccredited, "sophisticated" investors.
Private investment funds also typically rely on two exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These exemptions allow a fund to avoid registration if 1) it limits the fund to no more than 100 investors, or 2), if there are more than 100 investors, it allows only qualified purchasers to invest.
Accredited investors include financial institutions and other entities that meet certain requirements, as well as certain officers, directors and other insiders of the entity whose securities are being offered. They also include individuals with either 1) a net worth of at least $1 million (excluding their primary residence), or 2) income of at least $200,000 ($300,000 for married couples) in each of the preceding two years, and with a reasonable expectation of meeting the requirements in the current year.
Its assets are greater than $5 million, it wasn't formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities in question and a sophisticated person directs its investments.
A national bank or other qualifying financial institution serves as trustee.
The trust is revocable and the grantor qualifies as an accredited investor individually.
Family investment vehicles are accredited investors if their assets exceed $5 million and they weren't formed for the specific purpose of making the investment in question. Alternatively, they can qualify as accredited if all of their equity owners are accredited. Generally, a foundation not organized as a trust is accredited only if its assets exceed $5 million.
An entity with not less than $25 million in investments.
When determining whether a family entity is an accredited investor or a qualified purchaser, turn to your advisor. There's a lot of nuance in the definitions, and the information provided here is intended to be a guideline. Your specific circumstances could vary from the general rules.

AARP created a controversy within its own membership when it backed George W. Bush's Medicare Plan D, which provides insurance for seniors buying prescription drugs. Plan D is a scam on a number of fronts: By design, the government is promoting and susidizing a plan that is effectively run by the private insurance companies, in concert with the pharmaceutical companies. The long and the short of it is that the government pays out money at rates set by these two huge industries, with seniors picking up the substantial premiums and co-payments (and full costs when they fall into the the notorious coverage gap). All efforts to get the government to take over this program and directly negotiate drug prices have been rebuffed by both industries, despite a Democratic majority in Congress.
Now, Bloomberg news has reported that AARP "collects hundreds of millions of dollars annually from insurers who pay for AARP's endorsement of their policies…The insurance companies build the cost of these so-called royalties and fees, which amounted to $497.6 million in 2007, into the premiums they charge AARP members, according to AARP's consolidated financial statement for that year." Critics say that the AARP-sponsored policies often sell at inflated prices, and don't offer the best coverage for the money.
The Bloomberg report continues: "AARP uses the royalties and fees to fund about half the expenses that pay for activities such as publishing brochures about health care and consumer fraud –as well as for paying down the $200 million bond debt that funded the association's marble and brass-studded Washington headquarters." AARP headquarters takes up an entire block in downtown Washington, D.C. This in the capital city where an astounding 24 percent of people over 65 live in poverty–the highest poverty level for seniors in the nation.

I agree 200%. Medicare Part D combines the worst features of government and private plans. As a plan sponsor who has to deal with the Medicare Part D Retiree Drug subsidy, I see close up how confusing it is for our members and we try very hard to make it simple.
As soon as I learned that AARP had endorsed (and even lobbied for, if I remember correctly) the Medicare D scam, I tore up my AARP membership card and told them to take me off of their list. As a social worker, I serve a number of seniors who are on Medicare D. The formularies are constantly being revised, the premiums and co-pays keep going up, and the proliferation of plans causes great confusion. This was a program made in Big Pharma/DC hell.

CFL DRAFT PREVIEW SERIES: Lions look to avoid rolling dice
By Lowell Ullrich
It's called a lottery, a crapshoot. But for the B.C. Lions, it was something entirely different with respect to their opening pick in the CFL's Canadian college draft last year, Ese Mrabure-Ajufo. It all depends on your choice of words.
Ranked as the 18th best prospect by TSN, the Lions turned the draft upside down when they took the 22-year-old defensive lineman fifth overall. At the time general manager Wally Buono insisted the peculiar choice was made because that's where he was rated on their draft board, and the Lions had to fill a specific need rounding out their defensive line depth. But consider what has happened since.
The smallish Mrabure-Ajufo rarely made it onto the roster even to play special teams and a year later Buono now admits he gambled on the pick, saying his prized pupil lost roster status when the Lions had to correct another mistake starting Chris Rwabukamba at safety by signing Eric Fraser early last season.
"I really don't think we've given Ese a proper opportunity," Lions director of player personnel Neil McEvoy said.
Call what the Lions did a reversal draft, as in reversal of words. If the Wilfrid Laurier lineman doesn't progress in training camp this year, he could surpass another Lions flyer from the past, 2007 first-round receiving flameout Adam Nicholson, as the biggest bust of the Buono era.
The draft is, as is often said, an inexact science, not one assessed easily either, which is why the Lions will dispute TSN's ranking of their haul last year of eighth among nine teams.
Either way, the Lions can't afford a similar roll of the dice at the top end of the draft, even if they insist ranking is irrelevant when the assembled talent all reaches the locker room, and that few others in the first round last year made a significant impact as a rookie.
No team has had more first-round picks since 2001 than B.C., yet it is more than fair to suggest they are looking up at several rivals possessing better non-import talent. It is why the Lions will quite likely travel a safer route this time and choose to bolster their offensive line once more.
Both Buono and McEvoy admit there's enough line talent ranked near the top of their draft board for the Lions to consider using the first pick to uncover the next Matt Norman, a 2012 third-rounder who showed initial promise at centre but succumbed to knee problems last year.
Buono didn't just decide to shake up the Lions' Canadian ratio last year after taking over from Jeff Tedford but grabbed the depth chart with both hands to shake out Andrew Harris.
The player responsible for 30 per-cent of the Lions offence got no love whatsoever prior to becoming a free agent during the off-season and was gleefully scooped up by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
"He (Harris) needed a change," said Buono. Apparently, so did the Lions.
Tedford went somewhat rogue with the ratio last year when he started an import centre, Jason Foster, but with Harris punted the new/old coach has made a more traditional change, acquiring centre Tim O'Neill of Victoria from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
He'll be flanked in the interior of the offensive line by Hunter Steward, who moves this year to guard, and Kirby Fabien (see depth chart). Most of the other starters are also set. B.C. will go with two Canadian receivers, having lost their flexibility with the retirement of Austin Collie. They also have no trouble starting Canadians at safety and on the defensive line, though missed out on playing a pair of Canucks as hoped when they failed to land Justin Capicciotti in free agency.
The x-factor for B.C.'s ratio continues to be Abbotsford's Bo Lokombo, a 2013 third-round pick who now ranks as a steal in a manner similar to defensive lineman David Menard, taken in 2014 in the fourth round.
B.C. loves Lokombo's versatility and will devise packages to get him on the field, but don't like him to the point of making him a nickelback, also partly because backup candidate Adrian Clarke is best suited for special teams work and two other linebackers who aren't going anywhere, Solomon Elimimian and Adam Bighill.
That might change if B.C. makes a low-round draft play for Victoria's Terrell Davis, who switched to linebacker at UBC after tearing up high school ranks at Mt. Douglas as a running back. But offensive line comes first.
Recent drafts and philosophy
Make no mistake, Buono is a draft gambler, as the Mrabure-Ajufo pick proved. Last year's Lions class was also good for the Philadelphia Eagles, who still have OL Brett Boyko, and Houston Texans, who played DL Christian Covington in an NFL playoff game. Both were taken by the Lions as futures last draft. Nobody around the Lions also needs to be reminded about Danny Watkins or O.J. Atogwe either. So it'll be no shock if the Lions select a player or two who is attending an NFL minicamp this weekend either.
Draft position, needs and possible solutions
The 2015 supplemental draft selection by Winnipeg is good news for the Lions, who move up to third overall but will pick fourth in most other rounds. Buono recently let it slip he'd be fine picking up an additional pick to drop in the first round, though he has had few nibbles, suggesting at least one team above the Lions might be interested in doing the same.
At 36, O'Neill is only a short-term solution at best in the middle of the offensive line, and just about all of the available candidates for the Lions first pick have been vetted for their ability to be groomed at centre. Returning offensive line guru Dan Dorazio will almost certainly be given a new big body to mould.
With at least four draft eligible players already signing NFL deals this week, the Lions' options could be reduced among offensive linemen. 3Downnation draft guru Justin Dunk has the Lions picking Laval's Charles Vaillancourt when it's their turn and SFU coach Kelly Bates is pushing hard for Burnaby native Michael Couture, unless Buono gets another sudden urge to go rogue one more time.

FIA F2 / Breaking news
Matsushita makes F2 return with Carlin
Rachit Thukral
Honda junior Nobuharu Matsushita will return to Formula 2 in 2019 with Carlin after a year away in Super Formula, it has been announced.
Matsushita was groomed by Honda to become Japan's first F1 driver since Kamui Kobayashi and spent three years in GP2/F2 between 2015-17 in preparation of such a move.
However, he failed to score enough points to land a superlicense, earning a best championship finish of sixth in 2017 with the ART Grand Prix team.
That prompted Honda to place him in Stoffel Vandoorne's former team Dandelion in Super Formula, where he finished as the highest-placed rookie and 11th overall in the championship.
However, Matsushita has now been given Honda's blessing to return to F2 next year with the teams' championship-winning Carlin outfit.
He will get his first taste of Carlin F2 machinery at this week's Abu Dhabi test, where he will likely be joined by Haas F1 junior Louis Deletraz.
"I am extremely excited to be returning to the FIA Formula 2 Championship where I feel I have unfinished business," he said.
"Carlin have done a fantastic job this season to take the teams' title and second in the drivers' standings. We will be working hard from the outset this week to prepare a strong campaign for 2019.
"Thank you to Honda for their continued support and presenting me with such a great opportunity."
Matsushita first hinted about a return to F2 earlier this month, telling Motorsport.com that he was negotiating with Honda about the move and the chances of striking a deal were "50 percent".
The 25-year-old's return to F2 coincides with Nirei Fukuzumi and Tadasuke Makino moving full-time to Super Formula after a season in the F1-supporting series.
Carlin fielded Lando Norris and Sergio Sette Camara in F2 in 2018, with the former's graduation to McLaren leaving a vacant seat at the British outfit.
"We are thrilled to welcome Nobu to the team for the 2019 FIA F2 season," team boss Trevor Carlin said. "He is an exciting driver to watch and we believe he will be a great asset to the team and.
"He's already a race winner in the championship so we know that together we are more than capable of providing a really strong showing next season.
"We're extremely proud to be working with Honda again and to have been entrusted with such a promising Honda Junior driver."
Honda has also placed another of its junior drivers, 18-year-old Yuki Tsunoda, into the new FIA F3 series that replaces GP3 on the F1 support bill next season.
Tsunoda won the Japanese F4 series this year and will take on his first season of racing in Europe with the Jenzer team.

'Do something now:' Inmate's wife calls for release of non-violent offenders
Officials say there have been no confirmed COVID-19 cases in the federal system
Mar. 29, 2020 10:45 a.m.
Luciana Infusino-Tomei has been left alone to care for her young daughter during the COVID-19 pandemic after her husband was sent to prison last year on a drug-related charge.
The 38-year-old woman from Vaughan, Ont., is one of many worrying about the health and safety of their incarcerated loved ones, whose living arrangements make them particularly vulnerable to the novel coronavirus that has so far infected thousands of people and killed dozens across the country.
"Sometimes I find myself having to hold back my tears," Infusino-Tomei says. "My anxiety is through the roof, and so is my husband's, because he is away from us."
She says she hasn't been able to get support in caring for their 19-month-old because her parents are older and in poor health.
Her husband, Adrian Tomei, is serving a three-year sentence at Beaver Creek Institution north of Toronto, after he pleaded guilty last year to possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
Infusino-Tomei says people like her 33-year-old husband — who have no other criminal history, were convicted of a non-violent crime and have a safe place to stay — should be released from prison, where she fears COVID-19 would spread uncontrollably.
"There is no excuse for making bad decisions," she says. "He is paying his dues. He plead guilty from the onset and he was a man from the beginning by standing up and facing the music."
But she says prisoners are unable to self-isolate and have limited access to hygiene and sanitary products, so sending those who are not a risk to public safety may be the best thing during a pandemic.
"We know mass quarantines don't work because of those people left on cruise ships for weeks at a time," Infusino-Tomei says. "If something like that happens in prison, it's going to be far more dangerous, far more catastrophic on a far larger scale."
She says her husband has applied for parole by exception and is working with a lawyer in Kingtson, Ont.
Fergus J. (Chip) O'Connor, Tomei's parole lawyer, cites a section of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act that allows early release for an offender for whom continued confinement would constitute an excessive hardship.
"My argument is that the pandemic is a public health risk for prisoners and the risk of getting the virus is a hardship that was not previously foreseen," O'Connor says.
He says he has suggested to the commissioner of corrections and the Parole Board of Canada that efforts should be made to release non-violent prisoners soon, as the pandemic is expected to peak in Canada in the coming weeks.
He, as well as other legal advocates in Canada, are also calling for the government to recognize parole officers as essential workers, since they play a key role in getting applications processed.
"I'm not asking that they let everybody out of jail," O'Connor says.
"But if they would just take that step, and if they had the political will to do so, then we could reduce the prison population significantly, put people in their homes and it would … flatten the curve."
He notes he has many clients who are older or have compromised immune systems that would cause major complications if they were to get the novel coronavirus.

Speaking Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government was working "very closely" with the corrections system. He said Public Safety Minister Bill Blair would have more to say on the issue at a later time.
"This is something we are digging into very carefully because we need to make sure that we're keeping everyone safe in this country," he said.
In a statement, the Correctional Service of Canada says measures such as a contingency planning for food, supplies and necessary medical equipment has been adopted.
"CSC has taken full inventory of existing personal protective equipment supplies and has worked with the Public Health Agency of Canada to purchase additional supplies as necessary," it says.
"We have also distributed additional soap, cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer to staff and inmates and we are educating staff and inmates on the prevention and spread of illness, including the importance of good hygiene practices."
The CSC, as well as the Blair's office, says there have been no confirmed COVID-19 cases in the federal system.
But, the province of Ontario confirmed Thursday that an inmate and corrections officer at the South Toronto Detention Centre tested positive. Saskatchewan announced Friday that two workers at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre also contracted the virus.
It's something that worries Infusino-Tomei, who says it's just a matter of time before COVID-19 enters the federal system.
"If we want to get out of this with the fewest deaths … the only way to do that is to give these inmates an opportunity to isolate," she says.
"Let's not look back and say we should have done something, let's do something now while there is still time to save lives."

COVID-19 world update: Enforceable quarantine in NYC?; France orders 1 billion masks
UPDATE: Nanaimo RCMP now unsure what vehicle missing teen and man may be travelling in


I have a FB friend, who I don't know IRL - no mutual friends, I can't remember how he ended up on my page but he's been there forever. Dude's usually inoffensively boring. Super rightwing and churchy, but again inoffensively so. When he pops up I keep meaning to delete him but then I forget again.
Today he posts that in his opinion, there's no such thing as racism. Bad things just happen to people sometimes - it doesn't matter the race. Oddly, an African-American woman says she agrees with him. ONE person in this whole group of 10 people gets on and calls the guy ignorant for believing and SAYING this, listing all the ways that racism is alive and well.
His comeback: "Well, you just committed a hate crime against me for calling me ignorant. How do you feel about that?"
