For 2017, the current City of Mount Vernon administration made a bold decision to change the name of the popular yearly festival known as Arts on Third to CityFest. In addition, they also changed the festival's location from Third Street, between Fifth Avenue and First Avenue to Gramatan Avenue, between Lincoln Avenue and Prospect Avenue.
CityFest made its debut on Saturday, September 16 under sunny skies and was viewed by the organizers of the event as a huge success. It did not attract 100,000 people like the 2015 Arts on Third festival did, but the event did attract several thousand people and an abundance of vendors.
CityFest can't be compared to Arts on Third, especially in size and the amount of people that attended, but it was a promising start for a festival that is expected to grow if Mayor Thomas is fortunate to get reelected.
The event started at 2:00 PM and by 4:00 PM attendance was very poor, but as it got later, attendance started to pick up.
Unlike Arts on Third, which had multiple entertainment stages, CityFest only had one, and that is where the bulk of the people were gathered.
The generous array of food, vendors and entertainment made for an exciting day for all who attended, and smiles were in abundance as people made their way through the crowd-filled area of Gramatan designated for CityFest.
Like in past festivals, young and old alike seemed to appreciate the assortment of food and beverages available to satisfy rumbling stomachs and parched throats. And the competing aromas of seafood, jerk chicken, hot dogs, fried rice and collard greens made it difficult to decide what to eat.
Since its start in 1999, Arts on Third had a humble beginning but eventually evolved into Mount Vernon's signature cultural and community event, and eventually started to draw substantial participation from the tri-state area and beyond. Could it be that CityFest will grow to that magnitude as well?
Between the booths and storefronts lining the roped off area of Gramatan Avenue and adjacent blocks, visitors were treated to nearly 100 vendors hawking their wares.
Goods and services were offered in abundance, and festivalgoers enjoyed shopping for jewelry, clothing, shoes, hats, bags, toys, health and beauty products, books, artwork, school supplies, and items for their homes.
The highlight of CityFest was the entertainment, which took place opposite Hartley Park and included high profile performers like The Intruders, Rotimi, Slick Rick, Platinum Kids and many more.
After welcoming the hundreds gathered by the stage, Mayor Richard Thomas officiated a patty-eating contest involving five participants – which was very popular with the audience. The winner won a cool $100.00.
The event featured a long list of activities that offered a little for everybody, such as an ArtWestchester Showcase, African Drum Dance, Bill of Rights Enactment, Walk of Stars, Children's Lane, a Sports Lane and much more.

Sundance Trailer: Watch John Michael McDonagh's 'Calvary' Starring Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Reilly & Chris O'Dowd
Sundance Trailer: Watch John Michael McDonagh's 'Calvary' Starring Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Reilly & Chris O'Dowd
If you're a cinephile, December and January is one of the best times of the year. Not only do the meaty awards season contenders start playing at a theater near you, but Sundance brings forth a whole new crop of movies to get excited about. And with organizers unveiling their most promising batch of titles yet yesterday, the first trailer for one of them has emerged.
"The Guard" writer/director John Michael McDonagh re-teams with Brendan Gleeson and returns with "Calvary." Co-starring Chris O'Dowd, Aidan Gillan, Dylan Moran and Kelly Reilly, the film looks to be another blend of cutting comedy and some drama, this time with issues of religion, reputation and faith taking the fore. Here's the official synopsis:
Calvary is a blackly comedic drama about a priest tormented by his community. Father James is a good man intent on making the world a better place. When his life is threatened one day during confession, he finds he has to battle the dark forces closing in around him.
"Calvary" opens in the UK and Ireland on April 11, 2014 but no U.S. date or distributor just yet—but that could all change after Sundance. [The Guardian]

Tom Lee: Teacher and Assistant Headmaster, 1960-1971
Sue Burleigh· January 11, 2022
Born in Bedford, Ind. on February 26, 1924, Tom Lee died on December 18, 2021 at the age of 97 in Boise, Idaho. He had an amazing life as an educator, musician, author, and devoted Christian. During World War II, Tom was injured in the Battle of the Bulge and received the Purple Heart.
Read his obituary.
Members of the Colorado Academy community remember Tom Lee
Tom Fitzgerald: In the fall of 1962, I came to teach at Colorado Academy. The school at that time was seeking to redefine itself. It was emerging from its days as a military school and becoming a K-12 boarding and day school for boys. The physical plant left a lot to be desired. There was a dorm under construction; the Middle School was a cinderblock building where the Schotters Music Center now stands. The Upper School was a series of old Ft. Logan army barracks. What I thought was the gym on a hill turned out to be Pinehurst Country Club, and the real gym was a converted airplane hanger. And along with all of this, I met Tom Lee, known as the Senior Master of the Middle School.
I was to teach Ancient and Medieval History to Eighth Grade students and American Government to Ninth Graders. This was a time in schools where you weren't asked, "How would you feel about…" doing other things. You were told that, in addition to your teaching, you would also teach an elective, coach seasonal sports, work a regular schedule of weekend dorm duty, drive a bus if necessary, and other sundry things. Tom laid all of these things out and said, "Welcome to CA."
Tom had a gruff demeanor, gravelly voice, and a noticeable limp from being wounded in WWII. The wound resulted in years of surgery and finally in his having a prosthesis. He taught English and American Government and directed a stage band known as the Preps. In his eleven years at CA, he held a multitude of administrative offices, including Assistant Headmaster.
The 1960s were a tumultuous decade for the country and for schools. It was a time of assassinations, war, and civil rights debates. It was a time of redefining issues like race and class. At CA, all of these issues were seen in various forms of protest, which might include flouting rules about hair length, collared shirts, smoking, and drugs. In all of this, Tom had a major role of enforcing school policy. It was not an enviable position. A number of students were told by Tom that, if they didn't follow the rules that were set out, he would come and find them, and they would find out he had another use for his prosthesis.
For me, he was a friend and colleague and a mentor. He took time to coach me on having conversations with parents, working in a boarding school, and to help me "learn my craft" as a teacher.
After leaving CA, Tom became the Headmaster of the Ojai Valley School in California. After a four-year stay, he became the administrator for education for the Idaho Department of Corrections. He oversaw the educational activity in four different prisons. I suggested to him he had the perfect job, where classrooms were self-contained, and there were no discipline issues.
He was always certain in his beliefs and how things should be done. There was never any doubt where Tom stood on issues, be they educational or political. His Christmas notes to me always were the same. He would say, "I get up in the morning and pray and then practice my trombone and spend the latter part of the day cursing democrats." He reminded me of a story I read where a woman told her children that, when she died and went to heaven, she was sure she would find out that God was a Republican.
Tom's presence at CA during the '60s helped establish a foundation that helped the school grow into itself in the years to follow. He made a difference.
Charles Cavness '69: Tom Lee's obituary reveals a deep religious conviction that I had never previously recognized. On reflection, however, Fred Morfit and I have laughed that it was certainly apprehension of Old Testament quality wrath that threatened us from Tom's end of the hall. On the one hand, Colorado Academy Middle School was hardly a Sodom and Gomorrah. On the other hand, I guess Tom never actually killed any of us for infractions, either. I guess we never thought that Tom might really kill us, but that fact was not a particular solace when Tom became aware of a delinquency.
In truth, Thomas Jefferson Lee simply held his students to proper standards for leading a successful and admirable life. T.J. clearly had read biographies of his eponymous role model and took those standards to heart. With my old man's hindsight, it seems there was a lot that teenagers in the 1960s should have learned from a man who emulated Jefferson and Lee, and who had lost a leg and survived the Battle of the Bulge. Who knew? Even if you realized that Tom's standards were proper, but still thought you might violate them and not get caught, you certainly sensed that Tom was the toughest guy on the hall. Survived the Battle of the Bulge, indeed.
What a fine man. What fine lessons he taught. What benefits those lessons have been to the lives of so many of Tom's students. Almost seven decades after absorbing some of my own lessons from Tom, he still whispers in my ear. I remain profoundly appreciative, and I miss the man.
Dave Earnhardt '67: I am very sad that we've lost Tom Lee. He was one of my mentors in my early years at CA. I will miss him greatly. In fact, I went to Wabash College, his alma mater, at his suggestion, where I got my BA in English. I am very happy that I did. I played piano in the CA Preps. The music transcriptions that we used for the CA Preps, which were very fine, were those arranged by Art Tatum, Black jazz pianist.
Tom Lee graduated from Wabash College in 1951, and got his master's at the University of Denver. I also got my BA at Wabash College, which was established 31 years before the U.S. Civil War. There is a plaque with the names of its students who fought in that war. Wabash College was all-male (which it still is, though some women professors teach there). As a liberal arts college, it encouraged self-reflection and independence of mind. The professors were wonderful and encouraged discussion as the best way to accomplish best practices. Reasoned disagreement, along with respect for thoughtful opponents, and the importance of being a good listener, was thought to be of highest value. A strong sense of loyalty was engendered in students. I found these qualities at CA. As I write this, I contemplate just how much society has changed. Again, though, I'm reminded of how Tom embodied the disciplined and judicial qualities of a gentleman.
I talked to him on the phone two years ago. I did read his book, Depression, War, Disability be Damned: Praise God, with great interest and satisfaction. He was a gentleman's gentleman, and a fine historical scholar. The book contains his family history and describes many interesting experiences, and it was an inspirational book, overall.
As a student, if I got sent to Mr. Lee to be disciplined, he would always end the session by saying, "All right, I will take your word that you'll behave more responsibly and maturely from now on." Then, he'd grin, and conclude, "And if you don't, I'll send you to the moon!" as he struck one hand flat across the back of his other hand to simulate a rocket taking off. He'd always chuckle then, and shake your hand, and I knew that he really cared. I assume that he followed this routine with other students.
When the CA Preps rehearsed, as Mr. Lee conducted, he would join in and play [trombone]. He was very good! He would also threaten anyone who made a mistake with hitting them on the head with his trombone mouthpiece, but actually never did that. Often, he would laugh and have the student who'd made the mistake play his part solo, which, having to face his peers all alone, tended to make him pay attention better the next time.
Tom visited my grandparents' house once and listened to the jazz trio Steve Gordon '68, Phil Effland (who attended Cherry Creek High School), and I had formed. He was complimentary, especially about a song we'd composed called "Portrait."
His favorite trombonist was Jack Teagarden. He smoked unfiltered Camel cigarettes, at the time that smoking was permitted in classrooms, along with Mr. Cotton, Mr. Banbury, and, I believe, Mr. Shae, as well as Seniors in the Senior Lounge. I believe that Tom's favorite song was Gershwin's, "Someone to Watch Over Me."
Joel Knight '67: I am so sorry to hear about Tom Lee's passing. It truly leaves a void in my heart.
I remember a class when he was talking about the concept "you can't tell a book by its cover." He asked us to guess what his favorite sport was, and gave us multiple choices to consider. Wrestling was one choice, and with his one wooden leg, no one picked that. Well, wrestling was the answer. It was a lecture well delivered.
Then, I was in the Ninth Grade taking a Civics class from Mr. Lee when President Kennedy was assassinated. He cancelled our class, of course. The look and seriousness on his face concerned me as much as the reality of the event.
Tom Lee was the rock and foundation of our Middle School in the 1960s.
He is sadly missed and greatly respected.
Ken Malo '66: I'm sorry to hear about Tom. I learned a lot from him. The story about how he lost his leg in a foxhole, and his introduction to CA standing at a bus stop at DU are classics.
Fred Morfit '68: Oh, geez, soooo many stories. This one is gonna' take some time to process.
Tim Moore '71: I, too, send my condolences to Mr. Lee's family and am always saddened at the loss of those people I knew during an earlier phase of life. Mr. Lee was tough and ruled us Colorado Academy lads with a firm look and ever-watchful eye. He was also my advisor, which perhaps frightened me even more, but it was unnecessary, as he always had time for me, and that eye also looked toward my future and how he could contribute to making it better by guiding my academic choices.
I recall seeking him out to inform him that I did not want to take biology in my upcoming Junior year. Rumors about a hard and dismal teacher of life sciences were rampant. He knew all about it, reassured me that a new, young, and exciting teacher would be taking charge the following year and reassured me as I tentatively agreed to give it a try. The new teacher was Mr. Woody Monte, who dazzled and charmed me in to taking, not just regular biology, but Advanced Placement as well. Bachelor's and master's degrees in biology, a teacher of biology both at high school and college levels, and a forty-year career as a physician suggest that Mr. Lee's guidance was wise.
So thank you, Mr. Lee, and may you rest reassured about how you guided many in your role as educator and counselor.
Tom "Crusher" Richards '65: My very first memory of Mr. Lee stemmed from a conversation I had with my father, who was also a World War II veteran. After learning that Mr. Lee was a Purple Heart recipient, my father told me in no uncertain terms that I was to treat him with the utmost respect. I am a veteran myself, after a career in the United States Air Force. When viewed through the lens of my military experiences, I appreciate to a much greater extent what Mr. Lee endured while recovering. Like so many of those veterans, he did not dwell on his experiences, but he did share with us on occasion some glimpses of his recovery. And it wasn't pretty. He was a tough guy.
I had Mr. Lee as an instructor for several classes. There was never any question as to who was in charge of his classes. He portrayed himself as a grizzled, tough-as-nails GI, which he was, of course. As time passed, we realized that underneath that tough exterior was a very kind man who cared deeply for his "troops."
One of his more colorful admonitions to his "young gentlemen" was "you all had better sit down and shut up, or I will fill your ass with splinters."
He really enjoyed music. Mr. Lee played the trombone and led our school jazz band. I played the bass. It was fun seeing him in this capacity. I recall one occasion when we played a song that had a title that was not politically correct. He changed the title to a more acceptable one. He chuckled while explaining to his callow lads what the title really meant.
Mr. Lee was always Mr.—one absolutely NEVER called him anything other than Mister or Sir. Nor did you even remotely contemplate trying to give him a line of **.
It was some 60 years ago that I had him as an instructor. He really did leave a lasting impression.
He was a good man, and I am proud to have known him. The bugle has played taps one last time. Rest in peace, Sir.
Jim Roberts '67: My impression of Tom Lee—he was a "tough old bird," not to be messed with, typical Marine in civilian clothes. I did get him to laugh a few times with my antics. It felt good.

Fuel for diesel engines contains particles and molecules that are not burned during combustion and are expelled into the air, with the consequent contaminating effects for the environment.
PETROMIRALLES is seriously committed to environmental issues and has therefore installed advanced microfiltration systems at the diesel pumps at all its stations.
This system is installed before the pump hose and eliminates all particles that are larger than 5 microns, which results in an important decrease of pollutant emissions.

FedEx driver in Alabama dumped parcels on 6 occasions, sheriff says
Officials have not named former driver at company's Ground unit

A former driver for FedEx Ground, the ground delivery unit of FedEx Corp., dumped packages on six occasions into a wooded ravine in Blount County, Alabama, the county's sheriff office said Tuesday.
According to an online report from WVTM, a TV station in nearby Birmingham, Sheriff Mark Moon said investigators had identified the driver, but they are withholding that information for now. It is possible that as many as 450 individuals were impacted by the incident, Moon said. It is not publicly known if the incident took place over one day or over several days.
Between 300 and 400 FedEx Ground packages were found last week in a ravine on private property near Hayden, Alabama, in Blount County. A cadre of FedEx Ground drivers from around the country descended on the area to retrieve the packages and attempt to deliver them to their destinations. FedEx Ground drivers operate as independent contractors.
FedEx (NYSE:FDX) said it was cooperating with investigators and that the person involved was no longer providing service for FedEx Ground, according to the report from the local news outlet.
"Where possible, recovered packages are being delivered to the intended recipients. In the event of a damaged shipment, we will make every effort to work with the affected shippers to reach a resolution," FedEx said in the statement.
Investigators will try to piece together the driver's modus operandi and the motive behind the actions. Each FedEx Ground delivery van can accommodate 300 to 400 packages.
(Note: this story has been updated to specify where the packages were dumped).

Bryston BDP-1 review
Paired with its BDA-1 DAC sibling, Bryston's BDP-1 music client is a formidable hi-fi media player Tested at £2350
By What Hi-Fi? published 6 June 11
Limited features aside, the BDP-1 is one of the few true hi-fi media players
Impressive file compatibility
handles 24Bit/192kHz playback
solid build
No streaming
no DAC
As single-minded approaches go, Bryston's BDP-1 takes some beating.
Think of it as a stripped-down computer, tuned for audio quality.
As a consequence, the design is equally sparse: there's no touch-screen display or internal transport, and no streaming circuitry, storage or DAC.
The lack of these features is seen as a strength by Bryston: the company says each of these things adds noise and degrades audio performance, and that's something it refuses to accept.
It also feels streaming music through a network is inherently compromised in terms of performance and reliability, and prefers to avoid it altogether.
Sends data to a DAC
The BDP-1 simply takes music data from a memory stick or hard drive via one of its four USB inputs, processes the data and squirts it out digitally for an external DAC to complete the task.
The natural partner for this digital player is Bryston's well-regarded BDA-1 DAC. We're great fans of this product due it its well-thought-out connectivity (eight inputs including USB, AES/EBU and S/PDIF in optical, RCA and BNC forms) and its even-handed sound.
Many hi-fi buffs still look down on computer audio. It's an easy attitude to understand if all they've sampled is low bitrate MP3s played on low-priced mass-market kit.
However, start using good-quality files – Apple Lossless is a minimum, with uncompressed formats such as WAV the ideal – with decent equipment and you can get proper hi-fi.
One of the BDP-1's aces is the ability to replay files up to 24-bit/192kHz. These high-resolution files lift the sound of this Bryston client well above any CD player we've heard when it comes to outright detail, subtlety and fluidity.
Astonishing sense of space
Listen to a 24-bit/192kHz recording such as The Scottish Chamber Orchestra's rendition of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3 in C Minor, Op.37 and the sense of space is astonishing.
Not just the space that defines the venue, but that between instruments, too. And despite all the insight, there's no loss of cohesion.
There's also a spell-binding finesse here, a lightness of touch, that once heard is hard to do without.
It's to the fore in the complex decay of piano notes and the skill with which stringed instruments are delivered.
Dynamics are a treat, too. They're wonderfully free-flowing and build in an almost unstoppable manner when the music demands.
Limited hi-res material
Higher resolution material, be it 24-bit in 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kHz, is limited at the moment, both in terms of quantity and mass-market appeal.
So, for now, the bulk of material played on this Bryston is likely to be no better than 16bit/44.1kHz WAV files from CDs.
Switching to a WAV version of Kanye West's Monster is a bit disappointing.
It's not just the resolution drop, either: the sound is clear and informative, but the pair's subtle lack of rhythmic drive becomes more apparent with music such as this.
We have no issues as far as tonal balance, sonic stability or insight are concerned, though.
The BDP-1 proves that there's life beyond CD. And if the choice of high-res content grows to include mass-market offerings, it's a future we'll relish.

Lease a flat now, buy it later
BS Reporter in Pune | March 06, 2009 08:44 IST
Shrinking sales of luxury residential apartments have led a prominent developer in Pune to offer flats on an 11 month lease, with the choice of purchase to be exercised later by the tenant, once the economic slump is over.
The rent paid by a tenant who later decides to buy the flat will be deducted from the sale price as down payment. There will be no compulsion to buy, says Mont Vert Homes, which has come up with this idea.
Another interesting aspect is that someone who chooses to move on has the option of passing on the lease to a friend or relative. The rent paid by the original occupier will, in that case, also be treated as part of the down payment if the purchase is later made by the next man.
There has been a heavy slump in the real estate market in Pune for around six months. The Promoters and Builders Association of Pune had recently announced a number of schemes to promote sales.
Says Mont Vert's managing director, Jayant Kaneria, "By May-June this year, we will have a certain number of apartments ready to sell, which have not been booked so far. When people are finding it difficult to buy flats for fear of losing their job, we want them to give a sigh of relief. We are targeting families that earn up to Rs 50,000 a month and would buy an apartment once the economic slump is over.
"It is not mandatory for tenants to buy the apartment once the lease gets over. They can simply leave or transfer it to any friend or relative. In this case as well, the rent paid by the (original


Cosmetic dentistry is now a leading and demanding field of dentistry. Everybody wants their smile to look beautiful and charming, and it does create a lasting and a pretty crucial first impression about a person. Another aspect to this is that people prefer a less time consuming and less invasive procedures. Well now there is cosmetic dentistry for all the problems, and well it fetches a good income too!
• The course is for six days, the first two days chiefly dedicated to anterior aesthetic restorations, next two days on posterior cosmetic restorations and final two days on indirect restoration such as veneers.
• Hands-on training with the expertise of a mentor is provided.
• A live demonstration is also an essential component of the program.
• Videos of all procedures about cosmetic dentistry will be produced.
• Participants will be presented with the Course completion certificate on completion of the entire course.


The general trend in abortion policy has been a wave of state-level legislation that restricts access to the procedure. The Guttmacher Institute counts 43 such laws passed this year and, going back to 2007, more than 100 such restrictions.
That makes new legislation in California all the more significant: A law signed Wednesday by Gov. Jerry Brown allows more medical practitioners to perform first-trimester abortions. It also may be the first state law to expand or maintain access to the procedure since Hawaii did so in 2006 (their law keeps abortion legal in the state if the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade were to be overturned).
The California legislation allows trained nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse midwives to perform first-trimester abortions. Four states -- Washington, Montana, Vermont and New Hampshire -- already allow nurse practitioners to perform the procedures.
Two other states, Washington and New York, have recently pushed for expanded abortion access. Washington Democrats sought legislation that would require insurance plans to cover the procedure, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wanted to increase access to late-term abortion. In the face of Republican opposition, neither of those pieces of legislation moved forward.
Access to abortion in California depends largely on where people live, which you can see in this map below (or on an interactive version here). The darkest blue circles are areas where there is an abortion clinic within 50 miles; the lightest parts show places where the closest clinic is at least 300 miles away.

While this PSA for Action Against Hunger ran a year or so ago following the December 2004 Tsunami, it was created through a communal effort among members of the WheresSpot advertising community group. Copywriter Stefanie Wasserman is a member of WheresSpot and, through the community, she met producer and editor Yatin Parkhani with whom she created the PSA. The pair created a commercial that avoided typical post-disaster imagery and used, instead, puppets from the Brooklyn Puppeteers Coopertive . Yes, puppets. The spot tells the story of of a girl who was left behind without her family after the tsumani. The spot does have a happy ending as it does for its creators who just won a 2006 Telly for their work.

The real confusion about vaccines comes from the Morrison government's own ranks
The Age's View
January 14, 2021 — 10.18pm
At a time when the federal government must convince tens of millions of Australians to get immunised against COVID-19 and remain vigilant against new mutant strains of the virus, a clear and disciplined message about the science is more important than ever.
Unfortunately, two of the Morrison government's own MPs, Craig Kelly and to a lesser extent George Christensen, are doing all they can to spread doubt about Australia's world-leading efforts to control the disease.
MPs Craig Kelly (left) and George Christensen. Credit:Alex Ellinghausen
Mr Kelly, the Liberal member for Hughes in Sydney's south, and Mr Christensen, a Liberal National Party MP from the far north Queensland seat of Dawson, are spruiking conspiracy theories via social media and on Sky News, which has regularly given them a platform. Mr Kelly has used his Facebook page, liked by 78,000 users, to promote "wonder drugs" ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Their effectiveness against COVID-19 is unproven and the drugs can have dangerous side effects.
This week alone Mr Kelly has encouraged people to protest on the streets against "health bureaucrats in an ivory tower" who say there is not enough evidence about the benefits of ivermectin. He has accused journalists such as Age columnist Jenna Price of "having blood on their hands" for thwarting distribution of the drugs. He has also described the wearing of masks as "child abuse", inciting people to breach the law on mask wearing in NSW.
Mr Christensen, also a hydroxychloroquine spruiker, has attacked COVID-19 control measures recently by claiming there is no evidence that people without symptoms can transmit the disease. If only that were true.
Yet the government has refused to condemn Mr Kelly or Mr Christensen publicly or put pressure on them to shut up. When Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was asked about Mr Christensen this week he said "facts are sometimes contentious". He then suggested contradicting his colleague would be a form of censorship.
Tolerating the spread of misinformation from within your own party is terrible for a government that has so far overall done a good job containing the virus and desperately wants to be trusted on public health. If the efficacy of a vaccine is seen as simply a matter of opinion, for instance, some people might decide against being immunised and put their trust in Mr Christensen's quack remedies instead. Health Minister Greg Hunt this week dodged questions about his colleagues, declining to name the MPs and simply reaffirming the public health advice.
The federal government's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, a public servant constrained by his position, said it was up to MPs to decide what they said. He did not name Craig Kelly so as not to give prominence to opinions that were not scientifically based.
There may be some good public health reasons for the Chief Medical Officer to ignore the two MPs. It is pointless to get into an argument with people who do not care about facts since it creates the false impression that there are two valid sides to the question. After all, Craig Kelly's Facebook timeline is almost as full of climate denialism as it is of unfounded medical theories. But senior government leaders including Prime Minister Scott Morrison should go much further in distancing themselves from Mr Kelly and Mr Christensen. They have a moral responsibility to tell the two MPs to stop airing dangerous misinformation.
Mr Morrison and Mr McCormack have plenty of levers to encourage MPs to follow an official line. They distribute talking points to keep them on script in other areas of much less importance. They should make it clear to Mr Kelly and Mr Christensen that their views are a threat to the health of Australians. And they should take action if those views continue to be repeated.
It's not a matter of censorship. It's the basic expectation that even our less sensible backbenchers exercise a modicum of common sense on matters of national wellbeing.

Q: Regex to find 5 consecutive letters of alphabet (ex. abcde, noprst) I have strings containing 5 letters of alphabet. I would like to match those that contain letters that are consecutive in alphabet for example:
abcde - return match
nopqrs - return match
cdefg - return match
fghij - return match
but
abcef - do not return match
abbcd - do not return match
I could write all combinations but as you can write in Regex [A-Z] I assumed there must be a better way.

A: A very simple alternative would be to just use String.prototype.includes:

function isConsecutive(string) {
  const result = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.includes(string);
  console.log(string, result);
}

// true
isConsecutive('abcde');
isConsecutive('nopqrs');
isConsecutive('cdefg');
isConsecutive('fghij');
// false
isConsecutive('abcef');
isConsecutive('abbcd');

A: If you can live with Python, this function converts the string sequence into numbered characters, and checks if they are consequtive (if so, they are also consecutive alphabetically):
def are_letters_consequtive(text):
    nums = [ord(letter) for letter in text]
    if sorted(nums) == list(range(min(nums), max(nums)+1)):
        return "match"
    return "no match"

print(are_letters_consequtive('abcde'))
print(are_letters_consequtive('cdefg'))
print(are_letters_consequtive('fghij'))

print(are_letters_consequtive('abcef'))
print(are_letters_consequtive('abbcd'))
print(are_letters_consequtive('noprst'))

Outputs:
match
match
match
no match
no match
no match

A: An alternative using javascript:

let string1 = 'abcde'
let string2 = 'fghiz'

function conletters(string) {
  if(string.length > 5 || typeof string != 'string') throw '[ERROR] not string or string greater than 5'
  for(let i = 0; i < string.length - 1; i++) {
    if(!(string.charCodeAt(i) + 1 == string.charCodeAt(i + 1)))
      return false
  }
  return true
}

console.log('string1 is consecutive: ' + conletters(string1))
console.log('string2 is consecutive: ' + conletters(string2))

A: You should definitely do it with code:

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.

That said, you can do better than testing all the combinations when using regexes. With lookahead expressions you can basically do "and" operation. Since you know the length you could do:
const myRegex = /(?=^(ab|bc)...$)(?=^.(ab|bc)..$)(?=^..(ab|bc).$)(?=^...(ab|bc)$)/

You will need to replace the (ab|bc) with all the possible two combinations.
For this particular case it is actually worse than testing all the possibilities (since there are only 22 possibilities) but it makes it more extensible to other situations.

North Adriatic port city of Rijeka has a long tradition of post punk music with a darkwave, noise rock or neo-psychedelic flavour. Punk was the sound of the city in the late 1970's and the first wave of post punk bands came on the local stages just a few years later. From then on, they have been the main artery of Rijeka's indie music scene with a constant need for new blood. Post punk sound for the year of 2020, when Rijeka will be European Capital of Culture, may very well be provided by four-piece band The Black Room.
Jakov Katalinic (vocal, guitar), Leo Ventin (vocal, guitar), Miljen Sirotic (bass) and Ivan Ritosa (drums) started the band in the summer of 2014 and played frequently through Croatia and Slovenia — from the small venues to the big festivals and some remarkable support roles like the gig in Rijeka with Denver's Wowehand. In the early spring of 2016, The Black Room released the debut album, In This Town Lies a City. It's a collection of 12 songs with English lyrics and strong 80's & 90's influences incorporated in a new psychedelic garage sound recorded and mixed by Matej Zec from Rijeka's number one band, Let 3. With Matej on the mix, the old post punk tradition was delivered once again to the new generation of city boys with The Black Room ready to lead the way. Their latest single, "Ready to Go", is an early introduction to the next EP, After Dark, to be released in early 2108.
