RHONJ's Dolores Catania Weighs in on Teresa and Joe Giudice's Marriage
by Corinne Heller | Thu., Feb. 7, 2019 7:53 AM
Teresa Giudice's Husband Joe Will Be Deported
Dolores Catania is expressing her well wishes to Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Teresa Giudice and her incarcerated husband Joe Giudice as he faces the possibility of getting deported. However, she does not have high hopes for him when it comes to staying out of trouble upon his release.
In October, a judge ruled that after Joe's release in March from federal prison, where he is serving a 3-year sentence for fraud, he will be removed from the United States. Teresa's husband, father of their four daughters, is a permanent U.S. resident and a native of Italy. Teresa was "devastated" by the ruling. Last month, E! News confirmed that she had discussed her marriage during the Real Housewives of New Jersey season nine reunion taping told her co-stars that if Joe were to be deported to Italy, they would go their "separate ways."
On the Watch What Happens Live After Show on Wednesday, a fan asked Dolores if she thinks Teresa and Joe will stay together.
"I hope so," she said.
Teresa Giudice's Real Housewives of New Jersey Family Drama, Season by Season
On a recent episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Dolores and Teresa discuss how they think Joe will act after his prison release. Dolores says she thinks Joe is "gonna try" to revert back to his "old ways" at home when it comes to his relationship with his wife.
"I think Joe took Teresa for granted a lot of times," she later says. "He expects everything to be done. She takes care of the kids...He will still want the old Teresa, but once a woman gets to the point where she's at, she's not going back. Oh, hell no."
Teresa says that Joe has "definitely changed also."
On the Watch What Happens Live After Show, Dolores said, "I mean, I'm sure he's changed in a lot of ways, but to me, whatever is in your DNA, you are what you are. He's like an old-school Italian guy. People don't change. I am who I am, he is who he is, that's what I mean, in a good way. He will be who he is."
Soon following the ruling a source had told E! News that Joe and Teresa, who had herself served a shortened sentence of 11 months in jail in the fraud case, "have no current plan in place for what to do next in their marriage, even though she is committed to finding a way to make this situation work for her family."
"She hates the idea of uprooting her children from their lives and leaving her elderly father who lives with her to move across the world," the source added.

In November, Teresa was asked on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live about divorce rumors about her and Joe.
"You're not getting divorced, you're sticking by him?" host Andy Cohen asked.
"Yes," Teresa replied.

In today's Gospel, Christ speaks in very challenging terms: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Throughout the Gospels Christ always recognizes children as models of simplicity, purity, and trusting faith, but he adds here a note of warning to those who might corrupt these innocent ones. Particularly at this time where so many are being accused of exactly this crime, we can't help but pray for mercy and strength to protect that great gift of our children.
Here at Notre Dame we take very seriously this charge, and ensure that all our volunteers are screened and Virtus trained. And just as importantly, we take very seriously the positive call to help these children grow in faith so that they may avoid the spiritual dangers that surround them. I have been incredibly impressed with our school. Students are learning from dedicated teachers in an environment steeped in faith, where they are absorbing a spirit of discipline and respect that only such a context can impart. For those who do not share the blessing of Catholic school, our religious education program is led by faithful volunteers who generously share their talents in imparting those same lessons each week. Our youth ministry, which begins this weekend, builds on those foundations, helping our middle school and high school students navigate the pressures that surround them in the world. In a world with so many dangers, our mission is to create a haven at the parish where students are protected and guided so that they are prepared for what's to come.
As hard as we try to accomplish this mission, there is one piece that is outside of our control, and that's the home. The Catechism has a beautiful passage on the family, in particular stating: "The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith. For this reason the family home is rightly called 'the domestic church,' a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity." The keystone in the formation of children is the home. It is from their parents that they are given the gift of faith that transforms how they see the world. It's from the way the household is run that they learn patience and understanding, that they learn how to pray, that they learn the meaning of selfless love as Christ reveals on the cross.
We pray in a special way this week for all families here at Notre Dame. We pray that in a world that has us running in a million different directions, chasing all the stuff that will someday turn to dust, our families here may recommit themselves to what's important – God, family, community. And through that recommitment, our children may be raised in an environment of faith which prepares them to go out into the world and become saints.

An innovative program that invests in our future thought leaders, change-makers and status-quo challengers is being launched at Orana Steiner School in Weston on the 8th May. The new 'Social Impact' Teen Accelerator is open to all Year 6 to 12 students in the ACT and region.
The after-school program is delivered by Lighthouse Business Innovation Centre (Lighthouse), the organisation that delivers the popular Teen Start-Up school holiday competitions.
According to Lighthouse CEO Anna Pino, each term will focus on learning a particular 21st Century skill like problem solving, creative and critical thinking, presentation skills and working effectively in groups. Students will have the opportunity to apply their new skills to real world problems in a fun and interactive environment.
Principal of Orana Steiner School, Linda Baird believes that what makes this program unique is its focus on social impact, something the Orana school community feels strongly about.
Throughout the term students will be encouraged to come up with ideas that address challenges their generation will face with a focus on coming up with solutions that are 'good for people and good for planet'.
The program also introduces students to experts from science, technology, engineering and artistic backgrounds to encourage students to make the connection between what they are learning in class and how it translates to life beyond school.
The 'Social Impact' Teen Accelerator program will run on Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 5pm at Orana Steiner School in Weston starting on the 10th May.


Silk painters and artists - choose from an extensive range of silk paints and silk dyes and mediums.
A comprehensive selection of silk paints, silk dyes and gutta outliners. The silk dyes give the best colour results when silk painting and need to be set with the heat from steam. The silk paints have been specifically formulated for painting on silk and give effective colour coverage. They can be heat set with a domestic iron.
The Blog contains a large number of posts about how to get started with silk painting.


The essence of this research article is to illustrate a simple way of profiting from Bitcoin. Many traders are scared of trading Bitcoin. The reasons are not far-fetched. Many bought into the hype that Bitcoin would hit $100,000 when it was in a full bull run, and many inexperienced traders bought the asset when it was close to its all-time highs at $19,800. Prices have been nowhere near those levels in 2018. However, there is still money to be made from Bitcoin. This is through the use of price action analysis, which uses simple information on the price charts to make trading decisions. This method of analysis uses the trend, as well as support and resistance levels to determine when to buy and when to sell Bitcoin.
Downtrend, when prices are forming lower highs and lower lows.
Sideways trend, when prices are more or less in consolidation and prices are neither forming higher highs nor lows.
You have to know the trend of Bitcoin to be able to use this strategy. The trend is best determined on the weekly charts, and trades made on the 1 hour chart. You cannot use short term charts to determine trend as they contain too much market noise.
The advantage that Bitcoin has over other assets such as Forex assets is that it is capable of making very steep movements, so price movements in the context of the weekly chart tend to resolve quicker than they would in the Forex market. So you should absolutely use the weekly chart for your Bitcoin analysis, also considering that this asset has been around for 10 years and there is enough price data to populate the weekly chart.
So what is the current trend on Bitcoin? Bitcoin was at $19,800 sometime in December 2017, and it is presently trading at not even up to half that price for the most of 2018. So obviously the price is down, and the trend is down.
This chart is a weekly chart, which shows the peak of Bitcoin prices, and the very obvious downtrend which has formed since the beginning of the year.
The principle of trading is to follow the trend, though there are some traders who like to trade against the trend when prices are in retracement mode. So with a downtrend, you should be looking at selling Bitcoin whenever there is an opportunity.
A resistance is an area where prices find it hard to get above. Generally, a resistance will serve as a ceiling; a cap which limits upward movements. However, of momentum is strong enough from buyers, a resistance can be broken.
Similarly, a support is an area where prices find it difficult to go below. Generally, a support serves as a floor; it is a foundation which limits downward price movements. However, if selling pressure is high enough, a support can be broken, resulting in a price breakout to the downside.
A resistance can be identified if a trend line can be drawn across at least two price highs, and a support can be identified by tracing a trend line across a minimum of two price lows. These lines can be extended into the future to provide a basis for future price referencing. Such referencing will involve possible selling at the resistance if prices do not go above it, or buying at a support if prices do not go below the support trend line.
How is this information relevant to the trend of Bitcoin?
If Bitcoin is in a downtrend, and we want to trade with the trend, then we should ideally sell at a resistance. Usually, price can touch a resistance in a downtrend if there is a retracement rally. A retracement rally occurs in a downtrend when initial sellers start to offload their positions to take profit. A seller has to offload to a buyer to unwind a trade position. When there are many buyers for Bitcoin and this exceeds the selling capacity, it causes transient price increases. If there is no fundamental basis for such increases beyond profit taking, prices will generally hit the resistance and test it several times before more selling resumes. This concept is known as "selling on rallies".
Set your trade exit point and your protective stops.
We have shown how to identify the trend as well as identify support and resistance. The next thing to do is to set up your trade as well as your profit and exit stop parameters.
Since Bitcoin is in a downtrend, you should sell on rallies to the identified resistance line. Your stop loss should be set above the resistance line, and your profit target should be the support line below. Your profit target should be at least 3 times your stop loss.
There have already been two of such moves in the last two months. A similar setup could play out shortly. However, you should only go short if there is no positive news for Bitcoin that would give it enough bullish momentum to break the resistance.
Please note: if you are a contrarian trader, you can also buy off support using the same strategy, using the resistance as the price area to exit any long trades from the support levels. In essence, you are not selling the rallies, but trading the rallies. This is obviously a more risky strategy, but could pull off some pips if used with some commonsense and vigilance.

On Friday, we saw how much truth is actually in Tradition, and to what extent we should allow Tradition to influence our lives.
Today, we will discuss the often-heard claim of traditionalists that "Tradition works."
The notion that "Tradition works"
Tradition, according to its advocates, is supposed to "work." This means, I suppose, that if you follow the principles advocated by Tradition, life will go better for you than if you don't. Or maybe it means that Tradition lays down wise ground-rules for living life, which you depart from at your peril.
This opinion converges with that of the people who believe that Religion delivers absolute morality. Indeed, some believers in the Myth of Tradition believe that Tradition derives whatever force it has from Religion. For them, it is difficult to unravel the religious from the traditional. They tend to see it all as one piece, and for that reason, they become upset when people try to separate traditional practices from religious injunctions.
But a less religious group of Mythers insists that Tradition's wisdom need not have come from religious sources. They think that trial and error was enough to put the wisest advice into the stores of Tradition. Not having a religious power to justify Tradition's pronouncements, they tend to point to historical instances of traditional practices turning out well. Tradition, they say, "works," whether or not it has a religious basis. Such people can be called secular traditionalists.
Does Tradition really "work"?
But the argument that "Tradition works" is an argument from utility. And claims of utility cannot possibly support the nearly absolute devotion that traditionalists give to Tradition. The argument from utility proves nothing absolute about any principle. It only shows that in the instances examined, the principle seems to have produced some desirable results. And even this conclusion needs to be tempered. If different aspects of the case were emphasized, or the attitude of the examiner were different, the conclusion might well not be the same.
For instance, an analysis that praised traditional laissez-faire corporatism for the useful products and profits achieved by cutting down an entire old-growth redwood forest would seem sound to traditional laissez-faire corporatists. But environmentalists would have serious misgivings about the utility of that action.
Whether or not any particular tradition "works" is very much dependent on the circumstances and the people making the judgment about its utility. Nothing like that deserves the sort of devotion that traditionalists seem to want to give to Tradition.
Tomorrow we will conclude our treatment of Tradition with a summary of all the difficulties involved in regarding Tradition too highly, and with a warning that no one should trust Tradition implicitly.

HOME > Lot 77- 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS
Lot 77- 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS
Originally exported to Japan, arrived in the UK in 2016
Desirable pre-ABS model
Recent full service and MOT at Ferrari specialist QV London
Now registered in the UK and ready to enjoy
'Thirty years on, it remains one of the most beautiful 'modern' Ferraris - and potentially one of the most sensible, too..' Motoring Research Magazine.
Ferrari introduced the original 308 in 1975 and it remained (initially alongside the 308GT4) the legendary marque's entry level model for about a decade, before being usurped by the 328 (Type F106), a visually very similar feast for the eyes though it sported various small styling updates as well as an extra couple of hundred cubic centimeters of pure Italian V8 (3.2 litres as opposed to 3.0, as the model numbers might suggest).
The 328 model presented a slight softening of the wedge profile of its predecessor, essentially looking a little like a 308 that's put in a few useful hours down the gym. These looks have come into their own now and whilst the 328 is slightly bigger than the 308, it's worth noting that it's still shorter and narrower than a current Ford Focus.
In addition to this, by common consent if you're actually after driving your classic Ferrari, the 328 is the one to go for, being considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the most reliable and practical of all classic Ferraris - unlike some models you don't need to perform a full engine–out mechanical strip down in order to re-attach an errant wire to the alternator.
Pininfarina (who else?) paid particular attention to styling details that influenced the car's CD and aerodynamic lift characteristics – with impressive results. Cabin ergonomics were improved and the shape of the seats revised to better suit the sporty driving style this type of car deserved. On all versions, low profile (for the day!) tyres and 16″ alloy wheels were available as an option.
A redesigned nose was complemented by similar treatment to the rear valance, both featuring body-colour integral bumpers; the air louvres behind the retractable headlight pods on the 308 series disappeared, coupled with an increase in the size of the front lid radiator exhaust air louvre which had been introduced on the 308 QV, whilst a new style and position of exterior door catch was also provided. The interior trim enjoyed a thorough overhaul with new designs for the seat panel upholstery and stitching, revised door trims and pulls, together with more modern switchgear which complemented the external update.
In the middle of 1988 ABS brakes were made available as an option. This required a redesign of the suspension geometry to provide negative offset and unfortunately resulted in the car feeling slightly less responsive. Fortunately this car dates from 1987, so escaped the ABS – and the slightly less attractive convex alloys that went with it.
The 328 GTS had a tubular chassis with a factory type reference F 106 MS 100. Independent suspension via wishbones, coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers with front and rear anti roll bars was provided, along with disc brakes all round (as you might expect).
The V8 engine was essentially of the same design as that used in the 308 QV, with an increase in capacity to 3185 cc achieved via a bore and stroke of 83mm x 73.6mm. The engine retained the Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system of its predecessor, but was fitted with a Marelli MED 806 A electronic ignition system, to produce a claimed power output of 274 bhp at 7,000 rpm (the red line only intrudes on the needle's steadily sweeping advance at a heady 7,700 rpm). Peak torque is 224lb ft at 5,500rpm and overall in a car weighing a modest 1,325kg, that's good for 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 160mph.
The 328 remained in production for four years, during which time 6068 examples were produced in the chassis number range of 59301 to 83136, the GTS production outnumbering the GTB version by almost five to one. The early part of the series was numbered in the Ferrari odd number road car chassis sequence, and later examples (post chassis number 75000) in the continuous number sequence.
Chassis number 74145 was readied for sale in 1987 and was exported to Japan. Lucky Japan. Whilst resident there it appears to have been much loved and well maintained and some paperwork comes with the car to support this statement. More importantly, all expenditure on the car since it arrived on our shores has been kept safely and having just been gone through with a fine tooth comb by Ferrari specialist QV London, any new owner should feel completely confident that this example isn't hiding anything nasty.
This really is a lovely car. Super-clean and honest, it starts on the button and runs sweetly, with all the major controls feeling smooth and as they should. The car revs freely and feels very much like it's itching for the open road, preferably one near the Alps - a location that was cruelly denied to us during our test drive, but we did travel far enough to be able to confirm that mechanically all is well - no smoking, rattling, clonking, graunching, grumbling, ticking or twanging could be detected. The car changes gear with a beautifully smooth action, the clutch is perfectly manageable and nicely adjusted and the brakes felt firm and true. In short, this 328 is so user friendly and utterly unintimidating that we were sorely tempted to 'miss our turn' back into the car's current residence, just to revel in it for a few miles longer.
Optional extras available at the time included air conditioning which this car thankfully has, metallic paint (which it thankfully hasn't), Pirelli P7s (now Bridgestones), a leather dashboard (now alcantara), leather trim to the removable roof panel and rear window surround (not featured here), and a rear aerofoil (present and correct – this was standard on Japanese market models).
Electrically, everything works as it should - including the often sticky electric windows which operate perfectly. All four alloys are unmarked and shod in the aforementioned Bridgestone Potenzas that look virtually unworn.
The mechanical condition of the car was rubber stamped a few weeks ago when the 328 flew through its MOT with flying colours and no advisories.
Cosmetically there's absolutely nothing to worry about here either. There are a few touched-in chips and blemishes (all ruthlessly detailed in the photo gallery) as you might expect on a 32 year old car, but nothing that detracts from the very smart overall presentation. Finished in ever popular Rosso Corsa, all the panels are true and free from corrosion and all the shut lines are straight and even. The chromework on this car could be completely restored for about £7.50 - being restricted to the interior release handles for the engine bay and bonnet – and that's literally it - but it's in fair condition anyway and all the glasswear and light lenses are free from scratches and clouding.
The interior is very smart indeed, with the passenger seat looking pretty much box fresh (bum fresh?) whilst the driver's seat is just starting to take on a nice lived in appearance. The carpets look fresh throughout and the dash covering of grey alcantara with orange stitching, whilst not of course original has been completed to a very high standard and will we're sure appeal to as many prospective buyers as it perhaps troubles.
The trim work was carried out before the current owner took possession, so we have no idea if the original vinyl or leather lurks just behind the alcantara, but finding out and perhaps returning the car to its original spec. will provide a nice 'to do eventually' job for the new owner should they so wish.
Could you use this car everyday? Absolutely. The 328 is compact enough to feel nimble around town – and that's not something you could say about the wide-boy Testarossa, or indeed the majority of 21st century supercars. Ride quality is better than modern machines, too – thanks to absorbent 55-profile tyres – and the 328 has enough luxuries (air-con, electric windows, er… a radio) to be comfortable on longer journeys. It feels like a sports car built for the road, rather than the racetrack.
The current owner is well aware that its early life in Japan (albeit a country where it is quite literally The Law to look after your cars) and the position of its steering wheel may hold its value back for some UK buyers, rest assured that the reserve set on the car takes full account of this.
E460 MPV probably represents the cheapest opportunity to get yourself behind the wheel of any 328 currently available to buy. On top of that, it's a totally useable, 'jump in and drive' example, that wants for absolutely nothing.
A truly lovely Ferrari at a truly mouthwatering price.

After a hospital chain was sold to another operator, several of the sold hospitals were hit with millions of dollars in Medicare cost assessments. The buyer and the seller "tag teamed" a lawsuit, in an effort to squeeze the CPA firm of the sold chain into paying the assessments on the grounds that financial statement audits had been inadequately reserved for the risk of subsequent assessment, and had failed to properly disclose the risk in footnotes. Moss & Barnett's defense team used creative discovery to demonstrate that the parties specifically bargained for the risk of a future Medicare assessment in their purchase price, and aggressive case management techniques (including an appearance at a mediation and refusing to offer any payment for settlement) – and the use of an engagement letter indemnity clause to force the dismissal of the lawsuit without any payment.
Bottom line: The lawsuit was dismissed without any payment.

More not being done to end violence against children in conflict: UNICEF chief
India Blooms News Service | 25 Jul 2015, 03:16 pm
#Children Conflict UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake
New York, Jul 25 (IBNS): Millions of children around the world are caught up in adults' wars, declared the head of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) on Friday, marking the 10th anniversary of a UN Security Council resolution that established a monitoring and reporting mechanism on the use of child soldiers with a strong call for accountability and robust measures to end all "horrors" children face.
In a statement, UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said that today, millions of children are deliberately killed, injured, raped, abducted.
Their schools and homes are being destroyed; they are being denied food, water and health care. Tens of thousands are forced to join armed forces and groups.
"Ten years ago, the UN Security Council passed resolution 1612, to better protect children affected by conflict. Today, enormous efforts are being made to protect children in countries at war," he said,
He noted that last year, more than 10,000 children were released from armed forces and groups worldwide, and received support returning to their communities.
"But violence involving children in conflicts has taken a darker turn," Lake warned, spotlighting reports from Iraq, Nigeria and Syria that have revealed how children are being used by adults as perpetrators of extreme violence.
The children are forced to observe and participate in executions, encouraged to believe that violence is normal, their young and impressionable minds exposed to senseless brutality, in total disregard of the sanctity of childhood.
"Every child in a conflict who is killed or forced to kill, or who has witnessed the brutality of war, is a victim – an innocent who has borne the cost of conflict not of her or his making," the UNICEF chief said
He said, "We should be outraged that such suffering continues and that more is not being done to end these horrors and to hold those responsible to account."

Tropical Storm Mindulle allowed the nation's environmental engineers to test the efficacy of ecotechnology. Pictured are the relined banks of Sanpukeng Stream in Shuili township, Nantou County.
When Tropical Storm Mindulle crossed the nation on July 2 and caused the Chenyulan River to rise suddenly, Wu Chia-mao (吳佳懋) was very surprised not to hear the roar of rocks being swept downstream.
"In Typhoon Herb in 1996 and Typhoon Toraji in 2001, we always heard the roaring of stones, some weighing one or two tonnes, when the heavy rains came," said Wu, 37, the owner of Shang'an Village's Echin Farm (奕青農場) in Nantou County's Shuili township.
Wu has been back in his hometown since 1994 after giving up his job as a radiotherapist at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung.
But most of the time since then, it seems, Wu has been fighting natural disasters.
The village, made up of about 500 agricultural families, lies next to where the Sanpukeng Stream flows into the Chenyulan River. But ever since the mid-1990s until recently, the name Shang'an has been synonymous with devastation. The village has been buffeted by mudflows, landslides, river debris, flooding and earthquakes. Grapes grown by persistent farmers on slopes around 450m above sea level are often washed away.
Wu says that after Typhoon Herb in 1996, landslides and mudflows left locals without running water or electricity. For two months they were sustained only by canned food and rice transported to them by air. After the devastating 921 Earthquake in 1999, they were isolated for 40 days. In the summer of 2001, heavy rains brought by Typhoon Toraji claimed more than 17 villagers' lives, destroyed more than 50 buildings and drowned 80 hectares of crops. Survivors ate instant food for a month.
So Shang'an's residents abandoned their crops and houses built in the Sanpukeng Stream danger zone and agreed that government engineers should broaden the river.
"Surprisingly, Mindulle brought no damage to us at all. We just returned the space to the river so it could flow naturally," Wu said.
In two years, engineers with the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau widened the river from 8m to 17m. When Mindulle inundated the area with 760mm of rainfall within three days, the village suffered no flooding or damage from river debris.
According to bureau official Chuang Chih-hong (莊志宏), a comprehensive investigation of the river, which has a 400-hectare catchment area, resulted in the adoption of ecological engineering methods.
One method saw the river's embankment packed with large rocks and stones. According to engineers, such a structure enables the water to press the stones further into the soil, increasing its stability. Another method uses "comb dams" (梳子壩) to block large rocks from rolling downstream without restricting water flow.
"Public safety can be ensured by adopting ecological engineering methods in river-treatment projects," said Kuo Ching-chiang (郭清江), vice chairman of the Public Construction Commission, after inspecting the village last week.
On ordinary days, river water flows slowly because dams are built to mediate river steepness. Reducing the angle of the slope generally reduces the velocity of the water running across it.
"Advantages of slow water flow include the replenishing of aquifers, minimizing runoff and reducing the erosion of embankments," Kuo said.
Kuo stressed that other reconstruction projects involving ecological engineering methods proved to be effective in the aftermath of the flooding caused by Mindulle.

Chemistry in its Element Podcast — Curious Tales of Chemical Compounds: A Review
No Comments on Chemistry in its Element Podcast — Curious Tales of Chemical Compounds: A Review
By: Teja Balasubramanian
Quarantine is a great time to learn about something new, or start listening to a podcast! The "Chemistry in its Element" podcast explores science around us, through several lenses, including art, history, anthropology, and epidemiology.
We are surrounded by chemical molecules and compounds — it is in our food, our bodies, as well as the plastics and products we use. Want to learn about how sunblock came to be, along with how its chemical components have historically been known to bleach coral reefs? How about oleic acid, which serves as the common denominator between olive oil, dandruff, and stained-glass windows? The Royal Society of Chemistry's "Chemistry in its Element" podcast series is remarkable in its witty, funny, entrancing analyses of chemical compounds. A wide range of chemicals are explored: from molecules that may potentially be a cure for Covid-19 to a hypothetical sci-fi exploration of alternatives for our ubiquitous life-building blocks carbon and hydrogen. This podcast is truly an amalgam of insightful knowledge-building and masterful storytelling.
This podcast caters not only to people invested in the field of chemistry, but to anyone who is interested in history, medicine, or culture. Each episode is quite short, only around five to eight minutes long, but packs in an abundance of quirky history facts and thought-provoking science questions.
One episode is about hydroquinone, a compound that plays a controversial role in skin depigmentation, as well as occasionally being released from a beetle's rear-end. Hydroquinones are made up of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. Throughout the episode, we learn that bombardier beetles, a species that thrives in the woodlands and grasslands of North and South America, raise their bums and release a chemical spray made up of hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide. After discovering this, humans decided to incorporate hydroquinone in perfume, which is known to take on a leathery scent after several years.
Additionally, the same compounds come together to make vanilla essence, although this certainly is not the primary means of production. Furthermore, hydroquinone is found in castoreum, which is a yellowish fluid, secreted by beavers. Beavers utilize castoreum, in conjunction with their urine to mark their territory. Castoreum can also be found in a famous Swedish drink called Bäverhojt! The podcast goes on to explore the innovative ways that hydroquinone unites with other compounds to participate in skin depigmentation and photography.
The "Chemistry in its Element" podcast is available for free on the Royal Society of Chemistry's website, Spotify, Google Podcasts, as well as several other platforms. The producers of the podcast love to hear from their listeners and their suggestions of which element to explore next. By listening to this podcast, one will certainly develop an appreciation for the not-so-subtle means by which chemistry influences life around us.

We were recently involved in SHINE Unconference for social entrepreneurs.
We researched how understanding 'Fundamental Human Needs' can inform both the analysis, diagnosis, innovation and marketing phases of social entrepreneurship. Based on this thinking we co-created an installation that engaged visitors in the ten fundamental human needs. And, hosted several workshops with partner organisations who do work in related areas. This work was completed for the 'SHINE' event on Thames Southbank between May 9 and 11, 2008. It has wider relevance, and elements of this work will appear elsewhere again in the future….

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Australia has advanced to the Davis Cup Finals in November with a tight 3-1 win over Brazil on hard courts at the Memorial Drive tennis center on Saturday.
John Millman beat Brazil's Thiago Monteiro 6-7, (6), 7-6 (3) 7-6 (3) in the deciding match.
Millman took the court after Australia's doubles team of James Duckworth and John Peers lost to Brazil's Marcelo Demoliner and Felipe Meligeni Rodrigues Alves 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (6).
On Friday, Millman came from a set and break down to beat Thiago Seyboth Wild 4-6, 7-6 (0), 6-2 to give Australia its 2-0 lead heading into Saturday's matches.
Australia was playing without its two top-ranked players. Nick Kyrgios has a left wrist injury that forced him out of a tournament in Mexico and Alex De Minaur aggravated an abdominal injury which sidelined him for last month's Australian Open.
Australia joins 11 other qualifiers and the 2019 semifinalists __ Canada, Britain, Russia and Spain __ as well as the 2020 wildcards, France and Serbia, in November in Madrid.

Amended IN Assembly April 19, 2017
Introduced by Assembly Member Mark Stone
An act to amend Section 389 of, and to add Sections 389.5 and 389.6 to, the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to juveniles.
AB 1181, as amended, Mark Stone. Juveniles: court records.
Existing law authorizes, except as specified, a person who is the subject of a juvenile court record, or the county probation officer, to petition the court to seal the records relating to the person's case, including records in the custody of the juvenile court and the probation officer and any other agencies, including law enforcement agencies and public officials as the petitioner alleges to have custody of the records. Existing law authorizes the petition to be filed 5 years or more after the jurisdiction of the juvenile court has terminated or, if no petition was filed, 5 years or more after the person was cited to appear before a probation officer or was taken before a probation officer or law enforcement officer, or, in any case, at any time after the person reaches 18 years of age.
This bill would instead require the court to seal all records relating to a juvenile dependency case that has been dismissed, dismissed or for which jurisdiction has terminated at the time the dismissal or termination is final, including those records held by the all child welfare agency, agencies, the court, law enforcement agency, agencies, the minor's or nonminor's school, schools, and any agency with which the minor was placed, unless the court finds compelling evidence that the records should not be sealed. The bill would require the proceedings of the case to be deemed never to have occurred. The bill would authorize the sealed records to be available for inspection in certain instances, including if the minor is the subject of a subsequent dependency petition. The bill would make additional conforming changes.
The bill would require the State Department of Social Services, in consultation with the Judicial Council and the County Welfare Directors Association of California, to develop and issue guidance to county child welfare departments regarding the process for identifying and inspecting records that have previously been sealed.

Separatist leaders under house arrest, internet shutdown on Burhan Wani's death anniversary
While there is heavy deployment of forces across the Valley, restrictions have also been put at several places, including the downtown area of Srinagar.
Syed Khalid Hussain Hussain
Zee News Exclusive: What Kangana Ranaut said about her argument with a journalist, 'movie mafia' and
The separatists have called for a complete shutdown in the Valley on the third death anniversary of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani. As a precautionary measure to avoid any incident of violence, security forces have kept senior separatist leaders under house arrest.
Hurriyat (moderate) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Tehrik Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, separatist leader Hilal War, among others have been kept under house arrest in the wake of the call for shutdown.
Mobile internet services have been snapped across south Kashmir and in Srinagar, the internet speed has been reduced to 2G.
A conglomerate of separatist parties, Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), had appealed to people of Jammu and Kashmir to observe a complete shutdown.
This comes two days after sources in the intelligence agencies warned of a possible plan to attack security forces in Pulwama district. According to sources, a new group of Pakistan terrorists, comprising six to eight people, recently reached Pulwama. The terrorist group also has a sniper in its ranks.
The killing of Burhan Wani, a posterboy of Hizbul Mujahideen, on July 8, 2016, had triggered protests in several parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The Valley had witnessed prolonged curfews and shutdown and at least 85 were killed in protests that followed his killing.
Pakistan had also used the opportunity to target India, referring to Wani as a freedom fighter and a "victim of atrocities by Indian troops in Kashmir". In 2017, Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa had praised Wani, stating that his death "infused a new spirit in the struggle for freedom" in the Kashmir Valley.

Canada-Morocco: Canada fans look forward to next World Cup after loss in final match
MONTREAL — Fans of the Canadian men's soccer team were left disappointed by their 2-1 loss to Morocco on Thursday, but there was also optimism about the country's chances in World Cup 2026, which Canada will co-host.
With no chance of moving on to the knockout round in its first World Cup appearance since 1986, Canada was playing for pride. Fans said the team showed it belonged on soccer's biggest stage, and they expect the country to be stronger for the next tournament, which will include 10 games on Canadian soil.
"It's great to see Canada in the World Cup," said Nick Whalen, a former member of Parliament and an avid soccer player. He was one of about two dozen people who watched the game at the Duke of Duckworth pub, in St. John's, N.L.
"A lot of these young players are going to be around when Canada hosts in 2026. And they'll be even better then."
Fans at the darkened bar groaned as Morocco scored its second goal, expanding an early lead. But 20 minutes later, there were booming cheers as Canada scored its first goal of the game — and its second goal in men's World Cup history.
After Canada's Atiba Hutchinson headed the ball toward the net around the 71-minute mark, there were screams of anguish as the ball hit the crossbar and bounced on the goal line but didn't cross it.
In the final moments, fans erupted in cheers and applause when Canada's goalkeeper Milan Borjan ran out onto the field in a bid to add an extra player to the effort to score a tying goal. But the cheers dampened quickly as the game ended and Moroccan players jumped and waved in victory.
"You really can't fault the Canadians," Whalen said. "They really showed their hearts out there, and they made us all proud."
Sarah Dominic, who has played soccer since she was five years old, said she is also looking forward to the next World Cup.
"They're a great team," Dominic said. "They played an amazing game against Belgium. I think they've had some unfortunate results at this tournament, but I do think that we can certainly play at this level and show the world in 2026 how great we are."
Melanie Bradley, general manager at Brams United Girls Soccer Club in Brampton, Ont., said she was proud that Team Canada was playing at the World Cup, even if the team didn't make it to the knockout stage.
"We are really proud, especially here in Brampton, to have seven players that have grown up playing at our fields across the city, competing at this level and representing the country. It is a very proud moment for us," Bradley said before the game. "I think we are really starting to show the world that we are a soccer nation."
Canada did not win any of its three games. The team lost 1-0 to Belgium and 4-1 to Croatia. But despite Canada's losses, Shayne Grimmer, a lifelong soccer fan in Vancouver, said Canada "showed that we can play against the best in the world and we deserve to be on that stage."
"We're the only team other than Qatar to not get a point, but I don't think that really represents what we did in this tournament," Grimmer said shortly after the end of Canada's final match.
Grimmer, vice-president of the Vancouver Southsiders — a group of supporters for Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps — said he has high hopes for the Canadian men moving forward, noting Alphonso Davies and other top players are still in their early 20s.
"I think we're going to surprise a lot of people when we're hosting," he said.
Mexico and the United States are co-hosting the 2026 tournament with Canada; most games — including the quarterfinals, semifinals and final — will be played in the U.S.
In Montreal's Little Maghreb neighbourhood — home to a large Moroccan population — a euphoric crowd took to the streets after Thursday's win, singing and dancing amid fireworks and the sound of honking car horns.
"I came here in 2019. I am so happy for this win and for this victory," said Ali Araqi, 26. "I am very proud for all Moroccans in Montreal and for my team. They are the best in the world, and we are going to win this World Cup if we play well."
Morocco advances to the knockout stage as the winner of the tournament's Group F — the team's best performance since 1986.
Even with the loss, Canada will continue to be represented at the tournament, said Abderrahman El Fouladi, 70, who moved to Canada from Morocco 31 years ago. Morocco's goalie, Yassine Bounou, was born in Montreal and is Canadian-Moroccan, he said.

Manchester United's Brazil midfielder Casemiro scored twice as they beat second-tier Reading 3-1 to reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday but Marcus Rashford was denied a record. Visitors Reading were riding their luck and holding on until Casemiro opened the scoring in the 54th minute, cleverly dinking the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley from Antony's pass. The former Real Madrid player extended United's lead four minutes later with a fizzing shot from 25 metres.

Ukraine's Loss of Status as 'Biden's Darling' Doomed Fight Against Nord Stream 2, Ex-Gas Chief Says
The Biden administration signed an agreement with outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel last month to allow for the unhindered completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline megaproject. Under the deal, Washington pledged to refrain from new sanctions, while Berlin promised to negotiate an extension of the Russia-Ukraine gas transit agreement.
The failure of the anti-Nord Stream 2 pressure campaign is related to Kiev's loss of its once-held special status for US President Joe Biden, suggests Andriy Kobolyev, the former CEO of Ukrainian state energy giant Naftogaz.
Kobolyev suggested that Ukrainians had won their "special status" in the US through their commitment to the West and the implementation of "painful but critical reforms."
"What has happened now? The answer is obvious: we have lost our special status in the White House. And not just from the current president, but from his inner circle," the former executive, who was stripped of his post as Naftogaz CEO in April, added.
What's He Talking About?
In 2016, the administration of then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko actively supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton against Republican Donald Trump, releasing documents to media implicating a senior Trump aide in corruption and helping to fuel the since debunked allegations that the real estate mogul was a "Russian agent."
The Biden family has a history of personal business interests in Ukraine. Last year, whistleblowers released leaked audio of a 2016 phone call between Poroshenko and Biden in which the Ukrainian president assured the US politician, who was serving as vice president at the time, that a prosecutor investigating Biden's son Hunter would be fired. Hunter had been hired on to the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, in April 2014, and the Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating his potential involvement in money laundering, tax evasion, and possible pay-to-play schemes selling access to his powerful father.
Trump's attempts to investigate the Biden family's Ukrainian connections led to accusations that he was trying to dig up dirt on a political adversary, and sparked an impeachment probe against him in late 2019. The Republican president was successfully impeached by the Democrat-controlled House, but cleared of any wrongdoing by the GOP-controlled Senate.
Today, Kobolyev suggested, it's up to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to restore Kiev's special status with the White House, even if the Western world is not expected to be as eager in waiting for Ukraine "with open arms" due to the many problems facing the country. Today, the former executive suggested, only more pro-Western reforms will allow Kiev to regain its "special status" in Washington.
Nord Stream 2 Close to Completion
Nord Stream 2 operator Nord Stream 2 AG announced last week that the gas pipeline megaproject was now 99 percent complete, with the first of its two lines finished and construction on the second being wrapped up. The pipeline network is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year, and will be able to pump as much as 55 billion cubic metres of Russian gas to Central Europe every year along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, doubling the capacity of the existing Nord Stream network.
The US and Germany issued a joint statement on 21 July giving the project the go-ahead, with the US side committing not to introduce any more sanctions against it, and Germany, Nord Stream 2's main European benefactor and beneficiary, committing to invest in the Ukrainian energy sector, compensate Kiev if gas transit through Ukraine is reduced, and work to facilitate direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev to renew the gas transit agreement between them for up to a decade. The current agreement will expire in 2024.

Do not be surprised if you hear singing coming from the kitchen, as the chef here is none other than Chef Neil Fuentes, also known as the "Singing Chef". Neil Fuentes is originally from Venezuela and has blended his passion for food and entertainment. He can be seen on Sensational Singing Chef, airing on Connecticut Style and his series on Food Channel's Hot Spots.
Victor Figueroa, along with his wife Nichola, owners of Jojoto, take delight in bringing some of the flavors of his home country to Branford, Connecticut. Their passion for the restaurant and for each other are obvious when you meet them.
Jojoto offers both traditional and refined Venezuelan cuisine such as: Arepas stuffed with shredded beef; Reina Pepiada stuffed with potato chicken; Costillas de Res of sofrito and cabernet braised short ribs with polenta, gremolata and truffle essence; Pabellon Criollo with rice, black beans, shredded beef and sweet plantains; and Gallinita Rellena, deboned, crispy skin Cornish hen stuffed with leeks and sweet plantain with an orange, lemon grass and honey reduction.
As we walked through the door, eagerly awaiting to start our sampling of their menu, we were greeted with a flute of prosecco and a look at the beautifully arranged bar.
After we were entertained by Chef Neil and his version of "Mack the Knife" and watched him prepare a dish for us, Cecelia prepared and presented to us two of their specialty drinks: Passion Fruit and Jalapeno cocktail and Tamarindo Martini. The passion fruit and jalapeno cocktail was a slightly spicy combination of passion fruit infused vodka and fresh jalapeno. Whereas the Tamarindo Martini was a blend of lime infused vodka, tamarindo, and simple syrup.
Oh, I almost forgot, while standing around chatting with the others and others with our group, Savannah, who by the way also entertained with a song later in the evening, offered us several appetizers, including: chicken stuffed empanadas, beef stuffed empanadas, rice and bean empanadas, beef arepa, reina pepiada arepa, and cheese arepas. It was hard to pick a favorite as each one tasty.
Throughout the evening, we were served sample size offerings from the 'starters" and "mains" menu. The list is bountiful and caulk full of flavorful items.
Venezuelan sandwich: La hamburguesa con todo: beef burger, lettuce, tomato, cheese, ham, coleslaw, potato chips, quail egg, and sauce.
The short rib was a big hit with all, in fact many asked for seconds, so Chef Neil came to the table with the pan and served up seconds.
For dessert we were treated to a trio: Tres leches, coconut custard cake, and churros. The coconut custard cake recipe came from Chef Neil's mother and was excellent.
Not only will you get a true taste of Venezuelan food when you visit Jojoto, you will probably get entertained by the staff as well. The food was hearty and comfortening while layered with flavors.

Q: How to tell if a key on S3 has "reached eventual consistency" S3 is eventually consistent, which means that a listbucket operation may or may not see a file depending on, at the very least, which replica you happen to connect to.  My understanding is, at some point, a key is sufficiently replicated (or replayed or indexed or something) that all listbuckets will see it forever more (at least until you delete it).
My question is, is there a way to ask S3 if a given file is in that state, or block until it is?
Bonus question 1:
Is the answer different when it comes to the files contents, that is, if I replace a file, will all reads be guaranteed to see the new version.
Bonus question 2:
What about Google and Azure's blob storage equivalents?
What about Ceph, Minio, CleverSafe, etc?

HJ: There are 7 core areas of your life that contribute to and ultimately determine your level of happiness and fulfillment. When you begin to gain mastery, or rather, you begin to harmonize and balance them, your life begins to get better and rapidly at that. Most people believe if they just had enough money everything would work itself out, but that is not the case. Money can be helpful, but money cannot buy you a spiritual connection, money cannot change your attitudes and beliefs. Money can facilitate a journey towards health, but it in and of itself cannot buy you health.
And that's a big part of the beauty of these 7 keys — money is not required. It is more about your relationship with yourself and you willingness and ability to look within and heal those parts of yourself that need it. And doing so will provide you with the richest rewards and splendors — a deeply fulfilling life that you wake up everyday loving wholeheartedly.
A New Year is a perfect opportunity to think about how to make your life an authentic reflection of who you really are and who you want to become. Make this a year in which you'll live as you've always longed to, in as many areas of your life as possible: health, relationships, career, passions and purpose. It's a perfect time to clear the slate and let yourself see your vision of your ideal, most satisfying life, not someone else's idea of what's 'best' for you.Forget those traditional resolutions that fizzle after a week or two. Don't just run out and get a gym membership without looking at the reasons why, so far, you haven't been able to make that change you dream of, or haven't been able to become that you that you dream of. If you're not passionate about the gym, or your reasons for being there, the changes won't stick and you'll end up feeling worse about yourself.
What would eating right look like for you? What small change can you make in that direction?
o Body: Get enough rest, and get moving. How do you treat your body, usually? Be kind to your body, honor it, and don't abuse it. Listen to it when it wants to rest; take time for it when it gets sick. Resolve to honor your body this year.
What would honoring your body mean to you, this year? What small change can you make in that direction?
o Your Life's Design: How much of the balance of your current life is authentically you, versus conforming to the demands of others or society? How does your life feel to you? What would you like more of, what would you like less of? What makes you cry? What are your dreams? What are your passions?
What would the ideal life balance look like for you? What small step can you take in that direction?
o Work: How do you feel about your work? Is it line with your values and dreams? Whose idea was it? Do you clock watch? How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?
What would your ideal work situation look like? What step can you take now, in that direction?
o Relationships: Do the people around you bring you up or down? Based on the people around you, who are you becoming? What important relationships are you neglecting? What are your goals and dreams as a family?
What kinds of relationships would you like to have, and which ones that you have now should you make more of a priority? What can you do, starting now, to move your life in this direction?
o Attitudes & Beliefs: How do you feel about life? What do you believe about yourself? If you encounter a setback, how do you handle it? What does it feel like to be you, inside your head?
What would be the most beneficial attitude or belief change for you, right now? This may seem a tough question, but listen to your instincts…you probably already know. Start thinking the way you want to think (positive, optimistic, kind, forgiving, etc.) right now and work at being that way, every day.
o God /Spirituality: How do you see the spiritual aspect of your life? Spiritual practice has known health benefits. Spend time in nature. Pray, if you believe that it works (I sure do!). Do you have spiritual principles for interacting with people? For example, don't allow yourself to be offended by what others say or do – for me, this is a spiritual practice. As is loving your neighbor as you would treat yourself, and loving the people who are hardest to love.
What thoughts, practices or actions would move your life in a spiritually more fulfilling direction? Start incorporating these aspects into your life, today. You don't have to, every day, but over time you may find that the days that you start out on solid spiritual ground turn out to be your best.
So often we go through life on automatic pilot, doing the same things, making the same mistakes, hanging out with the same people, going through the same routine…and wonder why we're still not happy, or don't seem to be getting any closer to our goals and dreams. Praying helps, writing out goals helps, envisioning a better future helps…but what really make it reality are the steady, loving, committed actions you take to improve your own life.
When I get discouraged, I remember a Mexican saying about ants. Ants are so tiny, but they never stop or give up. Millimetre by millimeter, hour by hour, day by day, they make it happen – they just keep going, step by teeny step. Seemingly out of nowhere, as they steadily go back and forth, that big ant hill takes form. And you can build your beautiful, custom-designed mountain, too – it happens day by day. One small effort stacks on top of another, and then another, and then another. One day, you wake up, and you're at the top! And oh what a beautiful view.
If you liked these Seven Keys, you can take these reflections to the next level in your life by reading my book, "Live a Life You Love: 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier, More Passionate You" – it comes with a free downloadable 54 page workbook that will coach you through making personalized changes for each step. I think you'll find it a great tool to get your New Year (perhaps even a new life?) off to a strong start.


Dads are pretty great. They play catch with us and know how long raw meat should be placed over an open fire. They kill bugs and give piggyback rides and coach sports they know nothing about because nobody else volunteered for the job.
But dads also come in all sorts of varieties, with different interests and hobbies. We've picked a few of our favorite types of dads and lined them up with something for Father's Day that's a little more on point than another tie.
Shaving is a hassle, but for many, it's a necessity — whether for a job, a partner who doesn't appreciate mustaches or the shame of barely there whiskers. The Art of Shaving at NorthPark makes the situation as stress-free as a situation involving a straight razor on your face can be. Maybe throw in a new blade and some of that fancy lather so Dad can try and replicate the experience at home.
Being a parent can be stressful. Or so we've heard. For the stressed-out dad, there is Hiatus Spa and its assortment of father-friendly packages, including the second annual Frosty Mug Men's Retreat.
It begins with a "thoroughly invigorating" full-body scrub with organic hops, barley and malt, followed by an "effervescent splash" of dark milk stout that gives his skin "a dose of micronutrients." A full-body, chilled-stone massage leaves him energized, then a warm plunge under the vichy shower brings him back to reality. Then he's ready for a frosty mug of cold local IPA.
The World Cup only comes about once every four years, so it would be a shame to miss too much of it. Group stages are off and running on Father's Day (June 15), with Switzerland vs. Ecuador, France vs. Honduras, and Argentina vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Glass Boot Biergarten on Henderson Avenue might not convince Dad he's in Brazil for the Cup, but after a few steins of Hofbrau or Franconia Wheat while watching the world's best go at it, he'll be chanting "Vamos, vamos Argentina/vamos, vamos a ganar." Provided, of course, that he isn't from Sarajevo.
Maybe your dad is a German ex-pat longing for the Autobahn — zee Germans play Portugal on Monday morning, in case you were wondering — or he's just a guy with a need for speed. Platinum Motorcars has $250 Corvette Stingray rentals for dads out there who appreciate American power. Other rides are equally drool-worthy, like the Gallardo Spyder or Lamborghini LP550, for some international flavor.
Go see James Taylor in concert in Grand Prairie. That label might be a bit of a sweeping stereotype, but come on; we've heard "Carolina In My Mind." There are going to be some baby boomers wearing Tommy Bahama shirts, and there is going to be some sort of haze billowing about Verizon Theatre. Just don't be a Bogart. Remember, your dad has old-man strength and could put you in your place.
Bowling's one of those activities that everyone can be terrible at and still enjoy. Bowl & Barrel's unpatented "boutique bowling" experience lends itself to families, with food more interesting than the hot dog rotisserie found at most bowling alleys. Plus, the beer list — we like beer, if you haven't noticed — eschews pitchers of flat Bud Light for pints of Hacker-Pschorr Dunkel Weisse, which is way, way better and what your dad deserves.
If your dad is more The Dude than Mr. Lebowski, we would suggest Bowlounge in the Design District, which is full of The Big Lebowski icons and White Russians. But you're probably going to the James Taylor concert with him already.


Maybe if all the VIPs are one color instead of four, that might cut down on the issue a bit.
Agreed. The amount of colors is absolutely ridiculous.
It makes a lot more sense. It's not like we're PC where theres a ton of people who donate at any given time. aka me back in the day It's more simple to manage and seriously what is usually the perks on forums like this? All it ever is is increased avatar size, increased inbox space, and maybe a coloured username if you're lucky. To be honest I'm fine with no colours for VIPs and just give them the tag. It doesn't really matter all that much.
This thread is old as smurf.
Maybe hold off until we get more members? I like the lack of crazy colors right now, though it would be nice to see some normal-text members around.
Well, as mentioned in the updates thread, all VIP usergroups and ranks have been merged into one, the same one you guys have at the moment.
They will be back. Though the statement we are too small is quite appropriate right now.

Hicksville Road, Broadway, Cedar Swamp Road, Glen Cove Road
Merrick Road (Nassau CR 27) in Massapequa
Pratt Boulevard (Nassau CR 243) and Pulaski Street in Glen Cove
NY 107 begins as Hicksville Road at Merrick Road (CR 27) in Massapequa. It runs to the northwest from there. In the vicinity of Hicksville, it changes name to become Broadway. Just north of Old Country Road (CR 25), it merges with NY 106 and the two are multiplexed along Broadway. There are major intersections with the Northern Parkway, the Long Island Expressway (I-495), and Jericho Turnpike (NY 25). Just north of Jericho Turnpike (NY 25), NY 106 and NY 107 split and NY 107 runs to the northwest as Cedar Swamp Road. North of Northern Boulevard (NY 25A), Cedar Swamp Road merges into Glen Cove Road and NY 107 continues north on Glen Cove Road. At Pulaski Street in Glen Cove, Glen Cove Road becomes Pratt Boulevard (CR 243). NY 107 ends at this point. Pratt Boulevard continues for another two blocks to end at Glen Cove Avenue.


Mouse found in Colorado, Wyoming remains on protected list - Oil City News Casper, Wyoming Community News Stream.
DENVER (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says a long-tailed mouse found only in Colorado and Wyoming will remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.
The agency on Monday rejected a petition filed by homebuilders and ranchers who argued the Preble's meadow jumping mouse shouldn't be protected. They said it isn't a distinct subspecies but is essentially the same as other, more plentiful mice.
The agency says the petition didn't include substantial evidence.
Pacific Legal Foundation, which filed the petition, says it's disappointed. The group says it will review the decision with its clients before deciding whether to challenge it in court.
The mouse was listed as threatened in 1998. Its identity has been disputed for years, prompting multiple legal challenges.
Opponents say the protections result in costly and unnecessary restrictions on land use.

100 years of the Poetry Society of South Carolina
Sponchia
James Lundy's book, The History of the Poetry Society of South Carolina: 1920 to 2021, is a chronicle of the first 100 years of the oldest state poetry society in America, the Poetry Society of South Carolina. Founded in Charleston in 1920 by DuBose Heyward, John Bennett, Josephine Pinckney, Hervey Allen, and Laura Bragg, the Society's first 101 seasons run from the Jazz Age to the COVID era, where everyone from Carl Sandburg, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Frost, Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, Ogden Nash, Billy Collins, Sherwood Anderson, Jericho Brown, Thornton Wilder, Robert Pinsky, and hundreds of others appeared before the membership.
Talking with Walter Edgar, Lundy, also currently the Society's president, gives us an insider's view, with insights into the inner workings and disfunctions of the organization and its slow progress from a Whites-only organization of the segregated South founded in the aftermath of World War I and the Spanish Flu Pandemic, through the Roaring Twenties, into the darkness of the Great Depression, World War II, a resurgence during the Atomic Age, the turbulent Sixties, the decline of Charleston, its rebound into a tourist mecca, and into the present day.
