Naughty Boy Breaks Silence After Zayn Malik Calls Him 'Fat Joke' on Twitter
Where do broken hearts go?
Naughty Boy spoke out Monday (July 20) following one-time buddy Zayn Malik dissing him on Twitter last week, calling him a "fat joke" for exploiting their musical partnership and sharing demos without his permission.
In an interview with The Sun, Naughty Boy –real name Shahid Khan — noted that he hadn't had any contact with Malik since Malik's remarks. "It sounded like one of the things the little girls who send me hate would say. I can deal with what he said but he knows the hate I've had to endure for him is the bit that upset me. That's not how I know Zayn to speak, even face to face. I definitely thought at first that he had been hacked. The fat joke thing wasn't necessary and he's getting a lot of backlash for that because a lot of his fans don't look like Selena Gomez. At some point as an artist you have to take responsibility for everything you say. That's why I think Zayn did it out of anger."

He bowed out of One Direction to live life as 'a normal 22-year-old' away from the spotlight.
And Zayn Malik looked to be doing exactly that when leaving 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood with a group of pals in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Despite his best attempts to go under the radar and exit through the venue's back door, the singer was looking a little worse for wear and a tad bleary-eyed as he hopped into the back of an awaiting car.

Zayn Malik Tweets to One Direction 'Bro' Liam Payne
Although Zayn Malik is no longer a member of One Direction, the singer still celebrated the group's five-year anniversary on Twitter — with a tweet to his former 1D "bro" Liam Payne.
One Direction was formed on the seventh season of the British reality competition series The X Factor, shortly after the five members of the group (Payne, Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson) all auditioned for the show individually on July 22, 2010. The four remaining members of 1D tweeted missives of thanks to their fans for the past five years, with Payne writing, "Wowwwww 5 years 5 boys what an amazing journey I couldn't thank you all ever enough and thank you Louis Niall Harry and zayn for everything."
Malik replied: "thanks bro !" along with a smiley face and an "x."
Malik also retweeted two of Payne's Tweets noting the five year anniversary.

The 23-year-old singer, who is set to become a first-time father with his former flame Briana Jungwirth, had been spotted travelling in a private jet from Canada to Los Angeles the day before, with many believing that he made the pit stop so he could visit the fashion stylist in her home city.
The 1D heartthrob, who has yet to comment on the explosive rumours that have sent fans into a frenzy on social media, had a slightly sombre expression on his face as he made his way from his car into the waiting jet.

According to new reports, the 23-year-old One Direction star is allegedly going all out to try and make it work with the Los Angeles-based stylist.
A source told The Sun: 'Louis is sacrificing all his spare time to see her. They spent last Sunday together after he made a whirlwind stop in LA during what was a rare day off for the band.'
Father-to-be Louis Tomlinson finally breaks his Twitter silence to thank fans for support… as Harry Styles touches down in Chicago to join the rest of One Direction
Fans may have been in disbelief over the recent news that Louis Tomlinson is to become a father, but it seems they're still being supportive.
Because they're all it took for the 23-year-old to break his silence on the matter after seven days, as he took to social media on Wednesday to thank the One Direction fanbase.

Louis Tomlinson's estranged dad Troy Austin 'threatens to drop public bombshell if One Direction singer continues to snub him'
Louis Tomlinson's estranged dad has reportedly threatened to drop a 'bombshell' unless the One Direction star lets him back into his life.
The 23-year-old singer's father Troy Austin was hoping the news Louis is set to welcome a child with his former fling Briana Jungwirth would help bring them closer together and mend their broken relationship.
But Troy, who hasn't spoken to Louis since they argued during a telephone call three years ago, has allegedly now vowed to shake up his son's life if he continues to ignore him.
He's on a health kick: Niall Horan heads to the gym in workout gear after being pictured with a 'suspicious looking glass pipe'
He courted controversy when he was pictured sitting alongside Justin Bieber and Cody Simpson and a 'suspicious looking glass pipe' while in Los Angeles earlier in the week.
But Niall Horan was back to business on Monday, when he hit Equinox gym along with his bodyguard, as part of his health and fitness regime.
The 21-year-old heart throb appeared to be in high spirits as he slipped into a pair of neon yellow shorts and his favourite football strip for the occasion.

THE X Factor is one of the UK's biggest TV shows, with millions of us tuning in every weekend to see hopefuls mortify themselves – ahem, we mean achieve their dreams.
But despite its popularity, most of us have no clue how it's actually made.

Being the curious folk that we are here at the Daily Star Online, we pottered along to the auditions at Wembley Arena to see what the X Factor is like in real life.
And it turns out a lot of primping, posing and a whooooole lot of waiting goes into making something for you to watch while eating your Saturday night takeaway.

92,000 Twitter followers and played with McBusted on tour: Ultimate fiX Factor
THE X Factor is nearly back on our screens, with a fresh batch of singing hopefuls ready to try and become superstars.
But some of these "fresh faces" may be a bit familiar.
One batch of auditions alone featured a singer with over 90,000 Twitter followers who supported McBusted, Britain's Got Talent finalists and an X Factor contestant from last year.
The Daily Star Online attended yesterday's Wembley auditions, where the audience was introduced to Ollie Marland, an aspiring popstar who admitted that he had come close to a record deal.
Speaking to the judges, Ollie – who used to play football for Port Vale – was painfully close to signing a contract with Epic when the person in charge of his deal left the company.

As Simon Cowell and co jet off to their exotic villas for the judges' houses round, the presenters will be grounded in the studio.
But as predecessor Dermot O'Leary clocked up the air miles during his stint in the role, the news has gone down like a lead balloon.
A source said: "Olly and Caroline are gutted they won't get to join the judges in all of these locations.
"Being with the judges and contestants at this crucial stage is one of the best bits of the job. And it beats being stood in a cold studio in Wembley.

← All Change For Oxford Street
Railways, and the 'N' word… →
I've been busy writing a book but nevertheless found time to drift up to Aylesbury in good time (so I thought) to enjoy the rattling and fuming experience of a trip to Princes Risborough and back. The last time I did this (in July last) the train was virtually empty and I had hoped that by going along the week prior to the ancient diesel being withdrawn it would be equally quiet. Not so.
Princes Risborough July 2016, the so-called bubble car having a nice rest
And this was apparently an average kind of load, and what I expected last week
Arriving at Aylesbury in July last year. A few regular waiting to board and a similar number ready to alight.
Anyway, on Friday 13th May I arrived at Princes Risborough on a modern Aylesbury-London train to find the platform heaving with people who had all come along to see the train while it was 'quiet'.
These self-propelled single car trains were introduced from 1960, though only 16 were built, all intended for use on the Western Regions lightly-used branches. They had a maximum speed of 70 mph, are fitted with vacuum brakes and eventually became the 121 class when the present classification system was introduced. Chiltern purchased vehicle 020 in 2003 and introduced it on the Princes Risborough service as a 'heritage' train, though it released a standard class 165 train for more useful deployment. A second car, 034, joined it in 2011, spreading the work. The cars have the old slam doors, though central locking is fitted. Owing to the mounting maintenance challenge they are being withdrawn on 19th May and replaced by a class 165. This is painful for those who enjoy riding on a traditional diesel train and possibly painful for Chiltern which does not have much spare rolling stock these days.
The empty stock thundering towards Princes Risborough on 13 May, noxious end leading
The train has a rated seating capacity of 65 and having arrived the large gaggle of photographers and other well-wishers boarded rapidly, and I suspect from those standing the load was about 80.
Empty train pulling into Princes Risborough about 17:55
The 'well-loaded' train eventually departed and it was fun enjoying the long gear change which is a characteristic of this all-mechanical drive system. More fun was the mile or so of jointed track on the way to Monks Risborough, which we clattered over to the delight of occupants (the wheels going over the joints are barely noticeable on the 165s but these old cars rather enter into the spirit of things). There was then the delicious 'sucking' noise as the vacuum brakes applied at Monks Risborough and elsewhere. Not sure of our top speed but I'd guess at 50 mph. Incredibly, at Little Kimble, a station where I've never even seen a sign of a passenger, a well-dressed couple fought their way in and in due course asked if the train was usually this crowded; this generated a very complete answer.
At Aylesbury more photographers waited. At this point I noticed that between my two visits the car had been turned round. I'd be interested to know how and why this was achieved.
A reasonably busy platform at Aylesbury, given many had boarded already to get a seat.
Eventually, after a great deal of shutter clicking, the train was ready to go. It is perhaps revealing that one of three late-running passengers tearing over the bridge and only just catching the train was heard to exclaim 'Oh no not that thing'!
The elegant end departing Aylesbury about 18:35. It would have been nice if had carried its 4-digit headcode but the boxes are blanked off.
As the train made ready to pull away it occurred to me that this usually lightly-loaded service would be a jolly good place to test the Vivarail 'D' train. It is inconceivable the good Mr Shooter (who is rather familiar with this branch) hasn't already thought of it, so there must be a good reason why a demonstrator within easy reach of London is not felt a good idea. I'd certainly want to travel on it!
After the 121 departed (again quite full) the station became very quiet. Most of the action takes place on Platform 3, the old Up Main platform, but in the evening that is only really busy as commuters come home. Having time to spare I had a quick clump around Aylesbury town centre taking in the surviving architecture before returning to an efficient but uninteresting 165 for the 1-hour journey to London.
A civilized run back in a Met Pullman would have been nice.

Gabriel Wüger OSB (* 2. Dezember 1829 in Steckborn am Untersee (Bodensee), Kanton Thurgau als Jakob Wüger; † 31. Mai 1892 in Monte Cassino) war ein Schweizer Benediktinerpater und Maler.

Leben
Gabriel Wüger wurde als Sohn wohlhabender reformierter Eltern in Steckborn geboren. Zunächst besuchte er in La Neuveville das Gymnasium, dort wurde sein künstlerisches Talent entdeckt und er nahm fortan bei einem seiner Zeichenlehrer Privatunterricht. Als sein Vater schliesslich in eine künstlerische Laufbahn einwilligte, besuchte Gabriel Wüger die Akademie der Bildenden Künste München, wo er seine Studien bei Wilhelm von Kaulbach absolvierte (1847 bis 1852). Er schloss sich später der zunehmend mit der Akademie in Konkurrenz stehenden Schule Johann Baptist Berdellés an.

Im Jahr 1856 ging er nach Dresden, wo er seine Studien großer Meister wie Rubens oder Veronese fortsetzte. Nach einem kurzen Abstecher in München, wo er eines seiner Werke veräussern konnte, besuchte er seine Verwandten und hielt sich 1858 bis 1860 in Steckborn auf. Anfang 1860 siedelte er nach Nürnberg über, im Jahr 1862 schliesslich nach Florenz, wo ihm der Maler Amos Cassioli einen Platz in seinem Studio zur Verfügung stellte.

Während seines Aufenthalts in Rom ab 1862 trat er zum Katholizismus über. Durch die Kunst der Nazarener wurde er entscheidend beeinflusst. 1869 erhielt er den Auftrag zur Ausführung der Fresken in der Abtei Beuron, die er in den Sommern der Jahre 1868 und 1869 ausführte, ausserdem versah er die Außenwände eines klösterlichen Wohnhauses neben der Mauruskapelle mit Bildern. 1870 wurde er Novize im Kloster Beuron, legte dort 1875 die Ewige Profess ab und empfing 1880 die Priesterweihe.

Wüger wurde zu einem der Mitbegründer der Beuroner Kunstschule und war an mehreren Hauptwerken derselben beteiligt. Nach Vollendung seiner Arbeiten an der Torretta in Monte Cassino starb Wüger im Jahr 1893 und wurde dort beigesetzt.

This metro-style map shows the host cities of the Olympic summer Games in chronological order from 1896 to 2020. A journey from Athens to Rio and Tokyo taking in all 23 Olympic cities.
We have grouped the Games into 4 colour-coded time periods to make it easier to follow on the map. These are the same colours that are used in the Olympic rings.
Note that no Games were held in 1916, 1940 and 1944 – these were scheduled to be hosted by Berlin, Tokyo and London respectively, but had to be cancelled due to hostilities.
Green marks the post-War Games held during the era of the Iron Curtain and Cold War – up to fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Things came to a head between the Soviet Union and USA in Moscow 1980 and in Los Angeles 1984 when they boycotted each other's Games.
Below are some facts and figures, a mash-up of Olympic geography, aviation and sport.
We note that airplanes had not yet been invented during the first 2 Olympics in Athens 1896 and Paris 1900! In those days competitors would have arrived by ship or train.
The Wright brothers first flew near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA in December 1903. Others claim that Kiwi Richard Pearse flew the first ever flight in Waitohi, New Zealand in March 1902!
If you wanted to visit all the Olympic Games cities in chronological order as seen on our map you would need to travel 140,536 miles. This includes the multiple visits to Athens, Paris, London, Los Angeles and Tokyo and travelling across the globe in a zig-zag fashion. The total distance would nearly 6 times around the world or 59% of the way to the moon.
It would be possible to visit all 23 Olympic Cities once with considerably less mileage required. This could be done by flying on a Round-The-World air ticket (which has a maximum of 16 segments) and taking a few side trips to make up the 23 cities.
We would advise train travel between the likes of London, Paris, Antwerp and Amsterdam.
Rio 2014 marks the first time the Olympic Games have reached the South American continent. A flight today from Paris to Rio takes about 11 hours.
However between 1976 and 1982 Air France operated a Concorde flight between Paris and Rio. Whilst a fuel stop was needed along the way in Dakar, Senegal, the total flying time was only 5 hours 52 minutes.
This flight was featured in the James Bond film Moonraker with Roger Moore arriving on Concorde at Rio airport.
As a sidenote, the 10 Olympic cities which have featured in James Bond films are: Amsterdam, Berlin, Los Angeles, London, Mexico City, Moscow, Paris, Rio, Rome and Tokyo.
We mentioned the Olympic Long Jump record of 8.90m (29 ft. 2½ inches in old money) by Bob Beamon of USA. Set on 18 October 1968, he literally flew out of the pit in the thin air of Mexico City.
Beamon would need just over 8 of his jumps to clear the length of an Airbus A380 Superjumbo!
The Olympic record still stands today – Carl Lewis who won 4 consecutive Olympic Long Jump Golds managed a best of 8.72m in Seoul 1988 – although at Mexico City altitude that would probably equate to a jump of over 9 metres.
Beamon's world record was finally broken by Mike Powell with 8.95m at the Tokyo 1991 World Athletics championships. Carl Lewis jumped a wind assisted 8.91m on that day as well.
This is a slightly controversial list and we do note (for example) that Colombian airline Avianca was founded in December 1919 as "SCADTA" 2 months after KLM. It only became known as Avianca in 1940.
For many years Greece's national airline was Olympic Airways which was founded in 1957. It still runs to this day as Olympic Air, albeit as a regional subsidiary of Aegean Airways.
Keeping with the Rio theme, the first international airline ever to land at London Heathrow was a Brazilian Panair flight from Rio. Using a Lockheed 049 Constellation, the plane made stops in Recife, Dakar, Lisbon and Paris before reaching London.
And now the world descends on Rio for the opening of the 28th Summer Games. Good luck to the competitors and safe travels to all.

Q: how to remove the existing versioned file from git I want to avoid my fabfile.py from being versioned in git.
I did these steps:

*

*copied file to fabfile.default.txt file as backup

*removed fabfile.py

*git rm --cached fabfile.py

*added fabfile.py into .gitignore
then committed the removed file including .gitignore file.
but then, if I create my fabfile.py again locally, it again shows up in git status. why? am I missing some step here? feel so dumb right now

A: Use git rm fabfile.py. git rm --cached fabfile.py will only remove it from the index. git rm will remove it from the index and working tree. You then commit the removal as you would an add.
If you want to keep the file (and ignore it) back it up somewhere first. (I'm sure the comments will come up with a more elegant way if there is one)
If you want to remove all history of the file it's a much more involved task and best avoided.
See the docs.

A: I think the steps should be these :

*

*cp to backup

*git rm fabfile.py

*git commit

*add path-to-fabfile.py to .gitignore

*recreate backed up file

*git status should ignore this.

Q: Check if one GameObject is placed on top of another in Unity I have two cubes with one being slightly bigger than the other and can be moved around freely around the scene by the user.
I need to know when the user has placed the smaller one on top of the bigger one and then continue with the script.
I understand that I need to check the collision somehow and maybe check the Y coordinate of both boxes too to make sure the user puts the smaller cube on top of the bigger and not vice versa.
How can I do this?

A: You could either create a trigger (more on that in the unity docs) and use the respecrive callback to continue or you could constantly check the position of the second object and if the coordinates are above  the ones of the big box continue.

Deja Vu All Over Again
By on October 5, 2020 • ( 0 )
The 1981 gubernatorial contest in New Jersey promised to be something of a referendum on the Reagan administration elected the prior year. In the summer of 1981, the Republican National Committee (RNC) sent an operative named John A. Kelly to New Jersey to run a ballot security effort. Kelly had first been hired by the RNC in 1980 to work in the Reagan campaign, where he served as one of the RNC's liaisons to the Reagan White House. Kelly had been sworn as a deputy sheriff in Essex County one month prior to the state election.
A group called the National Ballot Security Task Force was organized under Kelly's direction and underwritten by the RNC and the state Republican Committee as a means of intimidating voters and discouraging voter turnout among likely Democratic voters. Efforts were focused on major cities where large numbers of minorities lived. Individuals and small groups of armed men, many off-duty sheriffs and police, some wearing police uniforms, operated in Trenton, Vineland, Newark, Camden, and Atlantic City, among others.
The Republican candidate, Thomas Kean, defeated the Democrat, James Florio, by 1,797 votes out of nearly 2 million cast. Two notable historical antecedents were the date–November 3, 1981–and the identity of Kean's campaign manager–Roger Stone.
In December 1981, The New York Times reported:
The Republican National Committee said it had established the task force to prevent voter fraud at the polls. Task force members patrolled polling places on Election Day and put up posters warning that "it is a crime to falsify a ballot or to violate election laws." Richard Richards, chairman of the Republican Committee, said that without such an effort, the Democrats "would have stolen the election."
Subsequent investigative reporting revealed that Kelly had falsely claimed a college degree from Notre Dame University and had a previous arrest for impersonating a police officer. His employment with the White House was terminated.
In 1982, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) brought suit against the RNC and the state committee, which resulted in a consent decree that year. The Republicans were barred from engaging in further such conduct until its expiration in December 2017. The court-approved consent decree was applicable to activities anywhere in the U.S., barring the targeting of race in selecting targets for ballot security activities, and barring the deployment of armed poll watchers.
Nearly 40 years later, at the first Presidential debate of the 2020 campaign, the incumbent, in response to a question concerning acceptance of the November 3 results, replied:
I am urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully because that is what has to happen, I am urging them to do it. I hope it's going to be a fair election, and if it's a fair election, I am 100 percent on board, but if I see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, I can't go along with that.
The expiration of the 1982 consent decree was hailed by one White House campaign lawyer as a "huge, huge, huge, huge deal" and promised a larger, better funded, more aggressive program of election day operations.
The expiration of the 1982 consent decree was hailed by one White House campaign lawyer as a "huge, huge, huge, huge deal" and promised a larger, better funded, more aggressive program of election day operations. The Trump campaign is not shy, claiming, as Republicans did in 1981, that Democrats are seeking to flood the nation with ballots in an effort to rig the campaign. The incumbent's campaign has pledged to cover every polling place in the country with workers to ensure an honest election and reelect the president.
It will be exactly thirty-nine years to the day on November 3, 2020, since the Ballot Security Task Force sought to make voting conform to the objectives of a political party. The absence of Roger Stone in the campaign is, at least, one bright spot.

'An Equal Judge' Published 1st September 2010
On her way to the top, Her Honour Judge Charlotte Treharne seeks truth at every turn but dangerous forces combined with lethal intent are determined to stop her no matter what the cost. Will her ability to endure be enough to survive?
Meanwhile Charlotte's mother Lise Treharne maintains her iron grip on the family home, Ragged Cliffs, but even her strength of will begins to falter in the face of such deadly acts of attrition and threats to her family's future.
From London and Vienna to the beautiful coast of the Gower Peninsula, the story twists and turns through the memories of a broken past and the loving foibles of a fragile future. Unpredictable and shocking, this gripping story will keep the reader hooked right up to an ending as unforeseen as the beginning.

The thrills come thick and fast..........
David Blatchford, Literary Critic
An outstanding plot........
What an emotional roller coaster of a novel! One certainly needs concentration as the highly colourful and incorrigible characters race across the page. There is never a dull moment where Her Honour Judge Charlotte Treharne's extended family is concerned. Charlotte, Ruck's unpredictable heroine, is reminiscent of a chameleon: one moment every bit the judge, the next a petite redheaded siren with freckles on her nose.
The supporting cast are no less vibrant, each with their individual plots. The matriarch of the family, Charlotte's mother Lise Treharne, built up a highly successful business; now an octogenarian, she has a past that will not be forgotten. Charlotte's brother, Kristian, a farmer, a gentleman, a hero with a wooden leg, is married to his Guardian-reading wife Myfanwy. Angharad, their wilful daughter, approaching middle age, still has the desire to shock her parents. As depraved, revengeful and murderous personalities have the reader reeling, they embark upon suicide, eating disorders and the desire for babies.
There is an engaging humour, together with a controversial, if not politically incorrect, dialogue. 'When it comes to "ageist sexism" Charlotte was all for it. In her view the only competent and reliable employee was a woman over fifty-five, and even that was risky. She had never been one to shirk the truth, which for many men, even her fellow Judges, was part of her attraction. Damn, Charlotte grinned, she wouldn't have employed herself, let alone any other woman. If anyone was typical of her breed, she was!'
Ruck is a masterful and perceptive storyteller; he would have to be with such an abundance of characters in his narrative. An Equal Judge is a book you will not want to put down until the very necessary and appeasing epilogue is read. This is the first of Julian Ruck's novels that I have read. I shall now be scouring the bookshelves for his name.

What happens to M2 and M5 brane solutions upon orbifolding?
How does one actually compute the amplituhedron?
From string theory to M-theory to F-theory. What is the roadmap?
Branes wrapping curves in M-theory. What does it mean?
What are the good introductory resources for M-theory towards AdS/CFT?
The Amplituhedron has recently been popular; it supposedly encodes perturbative scattering amplitudes in a simple, geometric fashion.
What happens to it in a non-perturbative context? Is there still some sort of amplituhedron, somehow?
If the answer is "yes", can the amplitudihedron be able to solve the problem of 5-Brane scattering amplitudes in M-Theory?
Regarding the M5-branes... It seems plausible that the worldvolume theory of a stack of M5-branes - which will be some version of (2,0) theory - has an amplituhedron, simply because (2,0) is another conformal, maximal-susy theory.
But that's the theory of scattering inside an M5-brane - how the excitations of the M5-brane interact. Scattering of M5-branes from each other, in some more general space-time background, is a different story, and ties into the general problem of how to understand string theory in the most general way possible.
The amplituhedron relies heavily on momentum twistors which only work for 4D theories. It may be possible to generalise in some way to higher dimensions but I think that would require a new idea.
You can define twistor space for six space-time dimensions e.g. arxiv.org/abs/1111.2539, and there are many connections between 4d, 5d, and 6d SUSY QFTs, e.g. see Witten's work on Khovanov homology. So point taken, but there's reason to believe it's possible.
@MitchellPorter: no expert on this, but one of the lessons learned about the (2,0) theory is that it manifestly has no weak-coupling description. You need to be more precise about "scattering within a M5 brane", otherwise I have a hard time seeing how it's plausible that a "Grassmannian" description exists.
@Vibert Perhaps it would be the scattering of the tensionless strings? But both N=4 SYM, and ABJM, have Grassmannian descriptions, so it makes sense that (2,0) would, too.


Warm, comfortable and stands up well. Carhartt definitely lives up to its name again with this hat.
I needed a hat that can be converted to winter use when it's cold outside, I can just pull down the ear flaps. As always, Carhartt comes through with a reliable option.
This is a warm cap well worth the money. The flaps even cover my ears which helps keep them protected from the wind as well as the cold. Recently had two days worth of cold very windy weather and this cap made working outside tolerable. The only problem with this cap is it only comes in two size ranges. I found that for me the smaller size worked better as I wear a 7 3/8" in a true hat size.
Farm and Field cold weather hat.
Great cold weather hat. Earflaps save your ears.
Will not fit you- dont do it!
Great camo hat for keeping the ears warm on a cold sitting hunt. The hat is a looser fit with the ear flaps down, but it needs to be to get them to tuck up in the hat when not using them. Another quality Carhartt product.
Love the added warmth from the ear flap.
A quality hat with the added benefit of an ear flap.

BUSHNELL Micro Grant Application
MACOMB Micro Grant Application
BUSINESS MICRO GRANT PROGRAM
The City of Macomb and the City of Bushnell is eager to launch this grant program in collaboration with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) through the Local CURE Economic Support Payments Grant Program to reimburse local non-essential business owners for working capital expenses. The Business Micro Grant Program will reimburse local business owners a portion of working capital expenses that have occurred between March 1, 2020 and December 30, 2020. This will assist business owners in their efforts to keep their businesses viable despite business interruption losses due to COVID-19.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE? All non-essential businesses within the City of Bushnell and the City of Macomb following all relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines, including those pertaining to COVID-19 mitigation, are eligible. Non-essential business are those businesses not declared essential in Governor Pritzker's Executive Order 2020-30 (COVID-19 Executive Order No. 30): https://www2.illinois.gov/Pages/Executive-Orders/ExecutiveOrder2020-32.aspx. See General Eligibility for additional conditions.
WHAT ARE TYPICAL ELIGIBLE EXPENSES? All working capital expenses are eligible between March 1, 2020 and December 20, 2020 – these could include payroll, rent, inventory, utilities, and more. The narrative should explain how items included were needed because of the business interruption caused by COVID-19.
WHAT ARE YOUR OBLIGATIONS? Business owners must complete the project application and certification. If the application is approved, the owners must adhere to the items and uses specified in the application. Applicants must also adhere to all federal, state, and local regulations. While the City understands and acknowledges the challenges related to COVID-19 facing business owners, these funds originate from the federal and state government and business owners receiving these funds must adhere to all COVID-19 mitigation regulations.
WHO REVIEWS/APPROVES PROJECT APPLICATIONS? Kim Pierce (representing the Bushnell Economic Development Corporation) with the oversight of the City of Bushnell and John Bannon with the oversight of the City of Macomb will publish program guidelines, work with applicants to ensure properties are eligible, and verify applications are complete. Completed applications will be reviewed by an economic development committee to expedite the process and ensure a quick turnaround time for applicants.
WHEN DO YOU APPLY? Now! Applications will be accepted through January 06, 2021 no later than the end of the business day (4PM). No late applications will be accepted.
Where has the money come from? The federal government (U.S. Department of the Treasury) originally contributed stimulus funds through the CARES program and the State of Illinois has passed these funds through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Local CURE Economic Support Payments Grant Program to the City of Bushnell and the City of Macomb.

TIER 3 RESURGENCE MITIGATIONS
COVID-19 Mitigation Plan— McDonough County is in region 2.
With a new wave of COVID-19 surging across the state of Illinois and the nation, the state is committed to listening to public health experts and following the science to keep people safe. Tier 3 builds on the Resurgence Mitigation Plan first released in July to suppress the spread of the virus and ensure our hospitals do not become overrun. This new tier aims to limit gatherings and encourages people to stay home to the greatest extent possible, while permitting some industries to remain open at significantly reduced capacities with proper safety measures in place. All detailed Phase 4 operational guidance remains in effect. Where Phase 4 guidance and Tier 3 Mitigations imply different standards, the more restrictive Tier 3 Mitigations will apply. School districts and local officials should follow extensive guidance released by IDPH and ISBE in August and make decisions related to in-person and remote learning at the local level, based on the unique needs of their communities. Child care facilities may continue to operate subject to DCFS guidelines.
With COVID-19 spread now exponential in every region of the state, our statewide positivity rate at record highs and hospitalizations already surpassing our Spring peak, all 11 regions will move into Tier 3 effective November 20, 2020 at 12:01am. The new mitigation requirements to combat the surge of COVID-19 across Illinois are as follows:
Retail (including service counters)
Operate at no more than 25% capacity, including general merchandise stores, "big box" stores that offer groceries and pharmacy, and convenience stores
Grocery stores and pharmacies may operate at up to 50% capacity
Encourage delivery or curbside pickup options wherever possible
When in-store shopping is necessary, promote efficient trips and consistent circulation

Face coverings must be worn at all times by clients and service providers
Suspend services where a face covering cannot be worn (e.g. facials, beard trims)
Physical, occupational and massage therapy allowed as deemed necessary by a medical provider, but appointments must be spaced by a minimum of 15 minutes and facilities should take steps to sanitize and circulate clean air through service rooms before and after each service
Virtual consultations recommended
Health and Fitness Centers
Operate at no more than 25% capacity
No indoor group classes
Face coverings must be worn at all times, including while engaged in individual exercise regardless of person or machine spacing
Reservations required
Locker room areas should be closed
Hotel room occupancy should be limited to registered guests only, with the maximum allowance being the number of individuals permissible per existing fire code for each applicable guest room
Fitness centers should be closed, or operated only on a reservation model, with capacity limited to 25% of the maximum occupancy for the room.
Grab and go food allowed
Event and meeting space closed
Additional COVID training for all employees required even if previous training occurred
Operators should coordinate with IDPH to implement testing protocols and contact tracing, upon request, consistent with available testing supplies
All employees must wear face coverings at all times unless eating or drinking. Exemptions only for safety purposes.
Only manufacturing staff and key personnel allowed in facilities. Non-production employees must work remotely. Non-essential staff and visitors are not permitted. Exemptions only for critical equipment repairs, supply deliveries and safety reasons ("critical visitors").
All critical visitors must have an Employee Health and Safety (EHS)-approved risk-assessment done in advance, including travel history, tracking, and temperature check prior to entrance.
Implement additional workstation realignment when feasible
Stagger and space shifts, and designate shift entrances and exits (when possible) to minimize interactions of employees across unique shift groupings
Station sanitation required at beginning and ending of shifts
Operators must suspend covid-related incentive pay and promote staying home when sick or showing symptoms
Implement temporary leave policies to accommodate workers who are sick
Develop and implement safety protocols for employee travel vans to promote spacing, require face coverings, temperature checks, air circulation, and vehicle sanitization

Live streaming of performances encouraged with social distancing of performers and minimum operational staff
Outdoor activities allowed at 25% capacity or less
Outdoor group activities limited to 10 persons or less, participants/guests must wear face coverings at all times
Reservations required for each guest for outdoor activities
The provisions above apply to industries/sectors with Restore Illinois Phase 4 guidance or other mitigations. Other functions (i.e. infrastructure, governments, logistics and warehousing etc.) that previously have not been subject to specific guidance may continue regular operations but are encouraged to voluntarily take proactive steps to support new mitigation strategy wherever possible. In these areas, customer serving functions should be limited to 25 percent capacity, aligned with Retail mitigations, and maximize work from home wherever possible.
IDPH will continue to track the positivity rates and hospital capacity metrics in regions over a 14-day monitoring period to determine if mitigations can be relaxed, if additional mitigations are required, or if current mitigation should remain in place. In order for a region to move back to Tier 2 mitigations, a region must experience less than 12 percent test positivity rate for three consecutive days AND greater than 20 percent available intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital bed availability AND declining COVID hospitalizations in 7 out of the last 10 days.
Follow the latest regional metrics at: https://dph.illinois.gov/regionmetrics.
For more information on guidance for businesses and frequently asked questions (FAQ) please visit the FAQ on DCEO's website.
Mitigations will be applied on a regional basis based on the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Regions that have traditionally guided IDPH in its statewide public health work. Expanding to 11 regions allows for a more granular approach in this phase of the response to COVID-19. The regions follow county lines to account for counties that are in more than one region of the EMS system. The regions are as follows:
1. NORTH: Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, Winnebago

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION GRANTS PROGRAM (BIG)
The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will launch the first round of Business Interruption Grants (BIG) by providing $60 million to businesses experiencing losses or business interruption as a result of COVID-19 related closures. The BIG Program is available for up to 3,500 businesses that experienced a limited ability to operate due to COVID-19 related closures. DCEO will begin distributing funds to qualifying businesses in early July. The total program funding will amount to at least $540 million in grants for small businesses, $270 of which has been set aside for childcare providers and is funded by the CARES Act.
In the first wave of grants, priority will be given to small businesses that have been heavily restricted or completely shut down during the pandemic and are located in DIAs. Businesses eligible for the program must have experienced extreme hardship, demonstrated by eligible costs or losses in excess of the grant amount, since March and may continue to face depressed revenues or closure. Businesses must also have been in operation for at least three months prior to March 2020. An emphasis will also be placed on those businesses that are located in areas that have experienced recent property damage due to civil unrest, exacerbating the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Specifically, the program includes support for:
Businesses in DIAs – $20 million for businesses that are located in a subset of DIAs that have recently experienced significant property damage, providing 1,000 grants of $20,000 each
Bars and Restaurants – $20 million for bars and restaurants unable to offer outside service, providing 1,000 grants of up to $20,000
Barbershops and Salons – $10 million for barbershops and salons, providing 1,000 grants of $10,000 each
Gyms and Fitness Centers – $10 million for gyms and fitness centers that have lost significant revenue due to COVID-19, providing 500 grants of $20,000 each
Businesses must have been in operation for at least three months prior to March 2020 and must meet specific annual revenue criteria outlined in document below.
WHEN AND WHERE TO APPLY: DCEO will begin accepting applications on June 26th. The application submission portal will be posted on this webpage. Until the 26th, DCEO is posting the application questions and required documents for businesses and business support organizations to read, review and prepare.

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM (PPP) FORGIVENESS
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has announced that recordings of two webinars hosted last week to help businesses and lenders with the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Applications are available to anyone who missed the sessions but may still require assistance.
The first webinar is for businesses and the steps they need to take to complete their loan forgiveness applications. The second webinar (for lenders), detailed the process in how those loan forgiveness applications should be reviewed.
The Paycheck Protection Program is a forgivable small business loan program administered by the SBA. The program is designed to assist small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic to keep their workers on the payroll. Over $125 billion in PPP funds are still available. Eligible small businesses include sole proprietorships, independent contractors, and the self-employed.

PHASE 4: REVITALIZATION
Phase 4 allows for the safe reopening or expansion of several key business segments – such as health and fitness, movies and theater, museums and zoos, as well as indoor dining at restaurants. Phase 4 also allows for expanded gathering sizes, increasing from 10 to 50 people (or fewer). During Phase 4, common public health standards remain in effect; including the use of face coverings and social distancing.
Industry-specific guidelines may vary but are designed to help employers, workers and residents feel safe in transitioning to the next phase of reopening the state. All industries should continue to conduct regular cleanings, employee health screenings upon entry and mid-shift, and allow employees who can continue working from home to do so.

Retired from active service with the US Justice Department, Cotton Malone now sells antiquarian books in Copenhagen. But life is far from quiet: his vast knowledge, sharp investigative skills, and zest for adventure keep him on call for high-stakes cases with intriguing, historic links. This series combines fast-paced, globe-spanning plots with fascinating insights into legendary treasures (like the hidden riches of the Knights Templar); figures, both famous and infamous (Napoleon, Andrew Jackson, and J. Edgar Hoover, among them); and the IRS!
Hall of Fame Narrator Scott Brick makes history as thrilling as the murderous plots. Brick skillfully varies the tone and escalates the pacing to take listeners along on Cotton Malone's always gripping, often treacherous global adventures. He also brings to life an assortment of characters, including Malone's sharp-witted, elegant, and intrepid girlfriend, Cassiopeia Vitt.
History lies at the heart of every Steve Berry novel. It's his passion, one he shares with his wife, Elizabeth, which led them to create History Matters, a foundation dedicated to historic preservation. Since 2009, the couple has crossed the country to save endangered historic treasures, raising money via lectures, receptions, galas, luncheons, dinners, and their popular writers' workshops.
Berry is the New York Times and #1 internationally best-selling author of 15 Cotton Malone adventures, four stand-alone thrillers, and several works of short fiction. In 2010, an NPR survey named the first Cotton Malone novel, The Templar Legacy, one of the Top 100 Thrillers ever written.

Bob Biggs Dies: Founder Of Influential Slash Records Label Was 74
Bob Biggs, who founded one of the most influential punk rock labels of the 20th century, died in Tehachapi, Calif. after a long illness, according to his former publicist. He was 74.
Biggs founded the Los Angeles-based Slash Records label in 1978 by issuing the the "Lexicon Devil" 7-inch by The Germs. There followed a string of notable acts issued by the label, including X, Dream Syndicate, Faith No More, The Blasters, Violent Femmes, Fear, The Germs, L7, and Los Lobos.
Biggs was the head of the company until its end in 1996. It was one of the most successful independent record labels of the era, eventually being acquired by Warner Music Group, with which it had a longtime distribution deal.
Originally started as an offshoot of a punk rock fan magazine, which stopped in 1980 as its founding members drifted into other projects, Slash was sold to London Records in 1986. In 2000, after a series of corporate mergers, Slash was closed as an active label. The back catalogue of Slash was acquired by Warner.
In 2003, executive Roger Ames, who owned the rights to the Slash name, relicensed the use of the name Slash back to Bob Biggs, who then relaunched the label. It now exists as a reissue label.
Biggs also directed several music videos and documentaries on his bands.
