Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis booster vaccine (also known as Tdap) is a combination immunizing agent given by injection to protect against infections caused by diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough). This vaccine is given to children 10 years of age and older, and to adults who have already been given this vaccine in the past. The vaccine will "boost" or increase the protection that the child or adult had from an earlier dose.
Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a serious disease that causes severe spells of coughing that can interfere with breathing. Pertussis also can cause pneumonia, long-lasting bronchitis, seizures, brain damage, and death.
Boostrix® and Adacel® are not used in children younger than 10 years of age.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended that teenagers be given a Tdap vaccine instead of the tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine. The committee is also encouraging all teenagers, even those who have already received Td, to get a Tdap booster to help protect against pertussis (eg, whooping cough). If you have questions about whether your teenager should receive Tdap, contact your doctor.
Adacel® is not used in adults 65 years of age and older.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of Boostrix® in the elderly.
Stroke, active—Your doctor will decide if you or your child should receive this vaccine.
Immunodeficiency disorder (weak immune system)—May not work as well in patients with this condition.
This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis booster vaccine. It may not be specific to Boostrix. Please read with care.
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot into one of your muscles.
This vaccine comes with patient instructions. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor or nurse if you have any questions.
You or your child may receive other vaccines at the same time as this one, but in a different body area. You should receive patient instructions for all of the vaccines. Make sure you understand all of the information and talk to your doctor or nurse if you have questions.
It is very important that you call the doctor right away if you or your child have any unwanted effects after receiving the vaccine. This may include fainting, seizures, a high fever, crying that will not stop, or severe redness or swelling where the shot was given.
Fainting may occur after you receive this vaccine. You may also have vision changes, numbness or tingling in your arms, hands, or feet, or jerky movements of the arms and legs. Call the doctor right away if you or your child have any of these symptoms.
It is very important to tell the doctor if you or your child are allergic to rubber. The syringes may contain dry natural latex rubber. This may cause an allergic reaction if you have a latex allergy.
This vaccine will not treat an active infection. If you or your child have a diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis infection, you will need medicine to treat the infection.


Two NHL teams will begin their 2019-20 campaigns overseas. The Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks will start next season in the Czech capital, Prague.
Both teams have Czech-born players on their rosters: Radko Gudas and Jakub Voráček play for the Flyers while Dominik Kahun and David Kampf are with the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks last opened their season in Europe back in 2009, when they played the Florida Panthers in Helsinki, Finland.
Ice hockey legend Jaromír Jágr made his first appearance in over a year for the club Kladno on Monday evening. The locally born star, who is now 47, played for nearly 18 minutes as the Czech second division side overcame Havířov 2:0.
Jágr is a 13-time NHL All-Star and is the most productive player ever to have appeared in the league.

For ballet slippers, the single most important factor is fit. The shoe should fit like a sock or glove without puckers or extra material to pinch at the tip of the shoe. The slipper should NOT be so snug or binding as to curl the toes inside the shoe or squeeze the ball or widest part of the foot.
For children, the feet are still developing and growing. It is important to have a close-fitting shoe to allow the teacher to catch and correct your little ballet dancer's stance. A conforming fit will also allow your child to "feel" the floor with her feet when learning ballet technique. Toddlers and very young children may not yet be learning ballet technique but they are working on balance and other fundamental skills and, if they're not dancing barefoot, their shoes must fit almost as if they are to encourage good foot alignment. The earlier the dancer learns proper placement, the less injury he or she will sustain to the knees and ankles down the road.
You might be tempted to buy a ballet slipper a "thumbs-width" or half size larger that leaves room for growth. This is understandable as a child's feet grow fast, and you may want to save some money in the future. Because it is fit that matters most, you should know that ballet slipper sizing varies by brand and that you can't always rely on street-shoe sizing. Ask your child's dance teacher or school about fitting shoes or brand recommendations before buying them if possible. It is a great idea to visit stores that specialize in dancewear to ask questions and try different sizes and brands if you are uncertain about sizing and finding the right fit.
While this might seem obvious, there are a variety of ballet slippers to choose from with anything from a single-sole leather ballet shoe to a split-sole canvas shoe. The typical "first" ballet shoe for little girls and boys is a leather shoe with a single leather sole, however split-soles and canvas slippers are becoming more available in young children's sizes. Split-sole, canvas shoes are often the slipper of choice for students and teachers as these are often more comfortable, allow the teacher to better see what's going on with the toes inside the shoe, and support and encourage "pointing" through the arch of the foot. Nothing is more inspiring than a beautifully pointed foot, but it takes some training to get there.
Pink for girls and black for boys, of course! But, ballet shoes come in a range of colors. Be sure to follow the instructor's wishes for classroom uniform, if he or she has a preference. In some ballet schools, a uniform look helps the instructor to scan the room more easily to ensure students are performing and learning dance moves correctly.
In general, ballet slippers are among the least expensive dance shoes. For children, a good, reasonably-priced ballet slipper will run anywhere from $12-$25. As a little dancer's feet grow, new shoes will be needed to maintain the proper support. You may be tempted to go for the cheapest shoes possible, but keep in mind that these could be poorly constructed and become a distraction. Your child's ballet shoes need not keep your child from paying attention to the dance teacher's instruction.
For children, dance is an exciting learning experience. Having the right shoes will help them enjoy that experience so much more. Though they may not tell you when they have a great fitting shoe, they will tell you if something doesn't feel right. If you aren't sure what the issue might be, don't hesitate to ask the instructor about the problem and they will be happy to help.

Thanks for this great post. I have a six-year-old daughter in ballet, and I was just talking to her today about her ballet shoes. We were trying to figure out if she needs a new pair. But now I know what to look for, so I can better check how well they are fitting. Your post has been very helpful!
Thanks Kerry! I'm glad to hear that the post is helpful for parents wondering if it's time for new shoes, too!
I'm glad you brought up the canvas options as well, I have been so inspired by Cynthia King's Vegan Slipper line of shoes. http://cynthiakingdance.com/vegan-ballet-slippers/ if you haven't had a chance to read her story, it's a great option for those looking for an alternative to leather.
Thanks again for the informative post.
I teach in Cynthia's slippers and they're great. Cynthia is also a wonderful supporter of this site. Stay tuned, Suzanne because tomorrow Cynthia and her Vegan Ballet Slippers are being featured!
I recently enrolled my daughter in a ballet class. She will start in a week from now. We are almost ready except for the shoes. I have a hard time finding the right fit. I will check out some stores again this weekend. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for when I began my internet search. Our 3 year old will take her first ballet class in a few weeks and I want to make sure I buy exactly what she needs. I now know exactly what to look for and I will seek out a reputable store to purchase them.

Q: Formik FieldArray after upating field (which is used to sort array) array sorts but focus is incorrect I'm using Formik's FieldArray to add/remove extra fields of objects from a form. In the objects array, there is a field called position that the array is sorted by when rendering e.g.:
<FieldArray name="my_values">
  {({ push, remove }) => (
    values.sort((a, b) => a.position - b.position).map(value = etc...

For example, if I have two objects:
{ name: 'Jane', position: 2 }
{ name: 'John', position: 1 }

John will appear first in the form with his name and position field and Jane after. If I update John's position to 3 in the form, Formik will re-render the Form and the Jane and their object's fields will appear first and John after, which is the desired functionality.
The issue is small but I've been stumped at how to solve:
After sorting again after this position change, I'm focused on the input that's in the first position, which is Jane's position. As I've just edited John's position, I would expect as the user to still be focussed on John's position that now appears below Jane in the FieldArray
Any ideas on how to "follow" and keep focussed on this field after the array has been sorted?

Update: whereas Fincal Cut Express keeps on crashing, it looks like Blender (free open source software) is managing AVCHD files (MTS or else) natively and cleanly. The alternative is there and obviously better than FCE. Time to switch back to open & free.
We mostly use FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) for a reason. But very often, some support for a format forces us to use non-free software, and lastly it was Final Cut Express 4.0 on MacOS X. Well, of course i'm going to tell you about a CRASH. That is something undocumented by Apple, that web searches and forums shows as very frequent, and that Apple seldom documents.
(you may have to quit any program using the sound subsytem in order to succeed in kernel extension unloading).
Note you may have to do the "kextunload" after each reboot. If you want, you can completely remove the extension by removing the .kext file.

"Very easy to use...My wife loves it...I love everything about this Ipad, the display is amazing and even though I thought the pencil would be wasted on me I couldnt have been more incorrect, I use it constantly...This is my 3rd iPad over the course of 5 years (not because they go out but because I like having a new one every few years) and so far I am not disappointed"

Educators today face many challenges that did not exist years ago. Amidst evaluation documentation, learning and mastering new standards, being a filter between the world and their students, it is easy for us to become mentally and emotionally exhausted.
It is time we as educational professionals stand together to support one another in these challenges.
Recently I was fortunate enough to work on developing a report about the Common Core State Standards and their implementation. Eleven teachers nationwide participated in an online forum called VIVA Idea Exchange.
We discussed key problematic areas around the new standards that were identified as areas of concern. We then went from identifying problems to developing concrete, positive solutions for each area of concern.
The wonderful thing about the project was that the goal of our report was to deliver positive solutions. It really made me think about how to solve some of the problems that I have been complaining about for the last few years.
After finishing the report, those of us who led the writing effort were invited to Washington, D.C., to present our recommendations to policy leaders at the U.S. Department of Education, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the Center for American Progress (CAP).
As excited as I was for the opportunity to present, I prepared myself for a fight. I was convinced it was my job to fight tooth and nail until I felt heard.
I was shocked by the responses we received from leaders.
Their faces, smiling. Their attitude, positive. Their response: "We hear you and we love your recommendations." I felt empowered by their gratitude for the time we took to create specific and feasible solutions.
This experience will inspire me to continue to speak up at my state and local level.
As the end of the school year nears and inevitably we teachers are faced with spring concerts, field days, fun days, field trips, finals, grading, report cards, cleaning, testing, and preparing your evaluations—I hope my fellow teachers will stop and reflect.
Take a moment to evaluate what made you get into this profession. Now look inside yourself for a second. Are you willing to sit by and feel like all of these stressors are happening to you? Or instead, are you willing to speak up, allow your voice to be heard and advocate for change?
You may be surprised at how empowered you will feel. There really is power in positivity.

Samsung Delays the Galaxy Note Edge 'til December 12th in the UK
Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge has been delayed in the UK, with the launch now not happening until December 12th, and a pre-order period now not starting 'til December 5th. This is obviously disappointing for those that have been waiting for the new device to launch, but maybe Samsung were avoiding Black Friday Fever? Smart move, I'd say.
Amazon PickUp Comes to 10,500 Post Office Branches in the UK
If you're an Amazon Prime member, then you might be familiar with their PickUp service. Essentially allowing you to order something to a nearby Smiths Newsagent. The problem with that plan however, was that there was only 500 locations included, but Amazon has now included 10,500 Post Office branches up and down the country. Which is great news if, like lucky me, you have a Royal Mail office down the road. If not, there's a good chance one isn't too far away from you. To check, you can take a look here.
Huawei Partners With SK Telecom, KT and LG UPlus to Work on 5G Networks
While the rest of the world outside of North America and South Korea might just be hitting their stride when it comes to 4G networks, South Korean networks are looking to the future, and they've turned to Huawei for help. As CNET is reporting, the Chinese infrastructure giant has partnered with SK Telecom, LG UPlus and KT to work on 5G networks. While this is still early, the company has said that an R&D center might be on the cards and that 4G networks could be superseded by as early as 2020.
OnePlus One to be Available in India from December 2nd
While the OnePlus One has a big following in India, it's not actually available to buy in the country, at least direct from an Indian side of OnePlus anyway. Soon though, that's going to change. Starting December 2nd, the OnePlus One will be available in India, from Amazon no less. Speaking about this, Pete Lau said that "We want to provide the best possible experience for our Indian users who have been so supportive of our vision. To do that, we are investing heavily in our Indian operations and partnering with the fastest growing and most admirable e-commerce company in the market, Amazon.in"

MSC Cruises is to fit a smart speaker in every cabin of its new ship, the Bellissima, equipped with Zoe, a purpose-built voice assistant which can answer over 800 common questions asked by passengers.
This is the first time a voice assistant has been used in the cruise ship industry in this way.
The logic behind the new technology is that it can help passengers with simple queriers about the cruise ship, such as what time the swimming pools open and close, what's on at the theater, and where the nearest bar is on deck.
It is hoped that, by answering these questions, Zoe can reduce the need for passengers to head to the ship's main desk, then queue up and ask a member of staff for information.
Zoe will launch on the MSC Bellissima, then is to be installed on the new MSC Grandiosa in 2019 and MSC Virtuosa in 2020. Each Zoe system is tailored for the ship it is installed on, so that the information it gives regarding available amenities and deck layout is accurate.
Roughly the size of a Google Home, the speaker, which is installed in every one of the Bellissima's 2,244 cabins, is not connected to the internet. Instead, and because the satellite connection out at sea can be patchy, Zoe gets her information from the ship's local network, which is periodically updated with new information for the AI to share with passengers.
Samsung and Harman, the audio company it acquired two years ago, built the system, which can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker to play music from passengers' phones. Harman worked to ensure every Zoe speaker is located in the best position in the ship's 40 different cabin layouts.
Revealed at a media event attended by GearBrain in London on Thursday evening, the artificial intelligence can speak seven different languages and is said to understand 30 different regional accents. To get the assistant's attention, passengers say "Okay Zoe", much in the same way they would speak to Alexa, Siri, or the Google Assistant.
Although the Zoe speaker does not have a display of its own, it is connected to the Samsung television fitted in each cabin. This is where it can offer more information to supplement its spoken answers, and where it can serve up data pulled from the ship's internet connection.
Instead of Zoe connecting to the internet directly, as Alexa and the Google Assistant do, Zoe asks the cabin's television to connect to the web to show things like weather forecasts and news headlines. That way, Zoe's basic functionality - answering a range of 800 questions — is not affected by poor internet speeds out at sea.
Zoe cannot interact with other aspects of the cabin just yet, but MSC's long-term goal is to have the assistant provide voice controls for the lighting, heating and air conditioning. The company also explained how, in the future, when a cleaner notices a blown light bulb in a cabin, they could note the fault to Zoe, which would then contact the ship's maintenance team so they can replace the bulb.
If passengers do not want to use the system, the speaker can be switched off - or the microphones muted if they still want to play music — with the press of a button.

Free Picks: Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers
Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers, MLB, Guaranteed Rate Field
The Chicago White Sox (12-9) will host the lowly Detroit Tigers (7-16) to begin a three-game series on Tuesday, representing the first action between these American League Central foes in 2021. The White Sox currently find themselves near the top of the division, as expected, while the Tigers have quickly sunken to the depths of the division … also as expected. The Tigers are searching for improvements all over the field, and they've lost 10 of their past 11 games. The White Sox, meanwhile, have won six of seven.
Is Giolito in the perfect place for a get-right game against the struggling Tigers?
The past week or so has been one to forget for White Sox ace Lucas Giolito. Following the worst start of his MLB career last Monday — an eight-hit, eight-run stinker in one inning against the Red Sox — Giolito had to have his ensuing start pushed back due to sustaining a cut on one of his fingers.
He needs a get-right game to bounce back, lower his 5.79 ERA and begin to get into a groove. Pitching at home against the Tigers, the coldest team in the majors, might be the perfect recipe.
Giolito and the White Sox stand as -222 money line favorites (10Bet) among Tuesday's MLB picks, while the Tigers lag as +180 underdogs. As it stands right now, this game is tied for the widest odds margin among the 15 games to be played on Tuesday, and it's pretty clear why.
Detroit hasn't made a very compelling case for how they can beat anyone lately, being outscored 45-20 in their current 1-10 skid. On one hand, a lot of the games have been close, including four that were decided by just one run. On the other hand, the Tigers' offense has produced fewer than two runs per game in that stretch.
Chicago's biggest question mark is Giolito, given that he hasn't pitched in over a week and is coming off such a dreadful outing. But to walk into work Tuesday night and face this Tigers lineup? He's probably feeling pretty good about that. And let's not forget that Giolito is still the ace of this staff, even if it hasn't looked that way very often in the early stages of this season. He was their opening day starter, he did throw a no-hitter last season and he's a 26-year-old former first-round pick who has already finished inside the top-10 Cy Young voting twice.
In two outings against Detroit last year, Giolito was 1-0 with seven hits and three runs allowed (2.13 ERA) and 20 strikeouts. He knows how to attack this lineup.
As for the White Sox lineup, they know how to attack the opposition. Chicago has scored 27 runs during its four-game winning streak and, as a reminder, that's more than Detroit has scored in its past 11 games. We're just not going to overthink this BetPicks prediction; the White Sox might not offer a lucrative payout, but they are certainly the team that should win this one.
FREE PICK: CHICAGO WHITE SOX MONEY LINE
Chicago is 7-3 on the money line in its past 10
The OVER has cashed in four of the White Sox's past five games
Detroit is 1-9 on the money line in its past 10
The UNDER has cashed in eight of the Tigers' past 10 games


Every time I take my boys to Lookout Mountain to visit my parents mountain home, I don't want to leave. When it's just us, it's like heaven!
The water is perfect, the weather is a dream (even thunderstorms), the sky is clear at night, my little boys, get to be little boys!
After going this weekend, my heart really wants to be there 24/7.
What I want for my children is a place that they will always want to come home too.
They are growing up way to quickly. I want them to have a home that they'll want to visit.
So, I can go either way and in 20 minutes or so, I'm back in civilization.
This place is like magic! Between our cabin and Fort Payne hose is DeSoto State Park; that place is really cool. Then old downtown Fort Payne is the perfect small town, and the parks for kids are divine! SO, our little getaway has SO much to offer!
What a fun trip! They boys look like they had a blast.
I LOVE to spend time with my parents and I too often wonder about the future and hope that my children want to visit me so often when they are grown.

Peter Svidler prepares to dance the Mainz Shuffle
8/12/2003 – In recent years a part of the Mainz Classic events has been "Chess960," aka shuffle chess or Fischerrandom chess. Russian GM Peter Svidler won the open event last year and will face Peter Leko in a match of this curious variant in a few days. Svidler talks about that match, his return to the top 10, and what being a father has meant for his chess. More
El Svid back on top
"Thanks to twins I am back in the top ten"
Peter Svidler is one of the most original Grandmasters in chess - at the board and besides it. At the end of the century it looked like the three-times Russian champion from St. Petersburg was able to challenge the 'Big Three' (Anand, Kasparov and Kramnik). However, Svidler suffered some setbacks and had to wait three years for his comeback in the top ten of the world rankings. Hartmut Metz talked to the 27-year old world no. 8, who will play a Chess960 match at the Chess Classic Mainz (13-17 August) vs. Peter Leko of Hungary.
Hartmut Metz: In 1999 you were world's no. 8 with 2713 Elo. After that you lost several ELO-points but in the last months you recovered with a personal record of 2723. Can you tell me what happened?
Svidler: It took me a while, but it seems that I am finally playing decent chess again. I guess being content with your life outside the chess world helps a lot.
Were there any dramatic changes in your life? Last year your second wife had twins just a few days before the tournament in Mainz and that could have inspired you to win the first Chess960 Open.
Svidler: I normally prefer not to talk too much about my private life, but I must say, that fatherhood is absolutely fantastic and I love every minute of it (when I'm at home, of course - which the first six months of this year was not very often).
Did Chess960 influence your play? After winning the Chess960 tournament in Mainz last year you started your comeback and eventually came back into the top ten.
Svidler: I think it would be more appropriate to say that my comeback started with becoming a Dad.
Can you benefit from Chess960 in a normal chess game?
Svidler: So far I haven't played enough Chess960 to draw any definite conclusions, but it can certainly help develop intuition and tactical alertness, since you can't rely on knowledge any more and have to improvise in every game.
Do you see any efforts from players to get back to 'normal positions' as soon as possible playing Chess960?
Svidler: You see a few 'normal' positions in almost every game - but it can be a 'normal' endgame position by that time. My intention in CCM2 was to try to avoid playing symmetrically with Black, because I wanted to have as much fun as possible - but this may explain why on the first day White won all five of my games!
In your opinion, what is the main difference between Chess960 and 'normal' chess?
Svidler: Some of the opening positions are much better for White, and some are almost equal - so there is a certain amount of luck involved in the position you will get. And the absence of opening theory is an important factor, of course.
You are considered being one of the most original players in the world. Is this one of your big advantages in Chess960?
Svidler: Let's not overrate my result in last year's CCM. So far I have only done well in one Chess960 event, and it is too early to tell, whether I have any advantages over other players in this chess variant. But I always like to be creative on the board, and Chess960 gives me a lot of opportunities to do so.
Peter Leko beat Michael Adams in the first unofficial Chess960 World Championship Match in Mainz 2001.What do you predict for your match vs. Leko?
Svidler: I hope it will be a very tight and interesting match. Peter has to be considered the favourite. He is in the form of his life and is also a very creative player, who enjoys new challenges, e.g. he is an experienced Janus Chess player and has even been world champion in that variant. (Note: Janus Chess is a chess variant, played on a 8x10 board, with two additional pieces to widen the possibilities).
Do you have any goals for the next months and years, except getting the new Chess960 world champion? Are you able to break into the top five or three of the rating list?
Svidler: I never set myself specific goals - especially now, when nobody knows what is going on in the chess world. I want to continue to improve my play - and wait and see where it can get me.
Your new team-mate in Baden-Oos is Alexei Shirov, number 5 in the world. What differences do you see between him, Peter Leko and yourself? Maybe you would like to compare your own playing style and strength to the top three Anand, Kramnik and Kasparov as well.
Svidler: The main difference is consistency, I guess. I have a decent score against all of them, but I've had more bad periods than they have. I think it is impossible to compare our playing styles, because you can't be a top-10 player without having a universal style. Alexei is considered to be the best attacker of his generation - but in recent years he may have gained more points by being an excellent endgame player. One should not overrate those clichés.
Baden-Oos seemed to have a lack of 'killers' in the team last season, behind the top boards Anand, Krasenkow and yourself, but with Shirov and Vallejo Pons the team seems to be strong enough to challenge Luebeck and Porz. Are there real chances to win the Bundesliga title next year?
Svidler: We just had one killer last year - our top board Vishy, but we had problems on the lower boards. This year however, with Alexei and Francisco we will have a stronger team overall, and the young guys - Fabian Doettling, Andreas Schenk and others - will be more experienced after the last season. I hope we will do better than last year. Winning the title won't be easy - but if key matches go our way, anything can happen.

Pleasant Valley man pleads not guilty in connection with fatal boat crash
by: Linda Cook
Posted: Jun 17, 2021 / 02:21 PM CDT / Updated: Jun 17, 2021 / 03:07 PM CDT
Craig Verbeke (left), 61, and Anita Pinc, 52, were killed in a boating crash on the Mississippi River on August 16, 2020. James Thiel, 44, of Pleasant Valley, turned himself into police on May 4, 2021, after being charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and other charges in relation to the boat crash.
A 44-year-old Pleasant Valley man charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with a fatal boating crash has pleaded not guilty.
Thiel, represented by attorney Leon F. Spies, Iowa City, filed a written arraignment and plea of not guilty in court documents filed Thursday in Scott County Court.

One person dead after boating accident Sunday night in LeClaire
Thiel is accused of unintentionally causing the deaths of Craig Verbeke and Dr. Anita Pinc on Aug. 16, 2020 "by participating and aiding in the operation of a boat in a careless, reckless or negligent manner resulting in a collision with another boat," court documents say.
The crash killed Pinc, 52, and Verbeke, 61, both of Moline, who were on a 19-foot Bayliner.
Verbeke died at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Pinc died on the scene.
Pinc was a physician with The Group, which released a statement earlier that reads in part: "The Group Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists, P.C. and Revive at The Group Medical Spa family are mourning over the tragic death of Anita L. Pinc, D.O. Dr. Anita Pinc was killed in a boating accident August 16, 2020 in LeClaire, IA. Her death is a loss to the entire Group family and to the many patients who benefited from her skills."
A pretrial conference for Thiel is scheduled for Aug. 27, and a jury trial is tentatively set for Sept. 6 in Scott County Court.

On the fortieth anniversary of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, the issue remains unchanged: the rights of two peoples to live in peace and dignity on fully equal terms.
This month marks the fortieth anniversary of Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. It will not escape readers' notice that the three writers who reflect on the occasion in this issue, although coming from widely different backgrounds and perspectives–Meron Benvenisti is a native-born Israeli and former deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Saree Makdisi is a Palestinian-American academic and Brian Klug is a British (and Jewish) Oxford philosopher–express a similar pessimism regarding the two-state solution. Each of them favorably discusses some form of binational or democratic state in all of Israel-Palestine, whose citizens would have equal rights or shared sovereignty.
Nation editors didn't seek out these conclusions, nor do they represent a change in our policy. For many years this magazine has supported a two-state solution in which Israel would fully withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967, in accordance with UN resolutions, and a State of Palestine would be formed in those territories, with its capital in East Jerusalem. But we recognize that as realities on the ground shift, so must our thinking. Many have begun to wonder whether partition is still possible, given the growing settlements in the West Bank; the collapse of the peace process; the hardening of Israeli attitudes in the face of a second, bloody intifada; the descent of the Palestinian national camp into fratricide; and the unwillingness or inability of the Bush Administration to re-engage in serious peace talks or even to recognize the democratically elected Palestinian government.
But to abandon the two-state solution, as a way out of today's seemingly insuperable barriers, doesn't so much answer questions as raise new ones. The chief difficulty is perhaps in popular reception, from both Israelis and Palestinians: While a large percentage of Israelis–anywhere from 40 to 60 percent, depending on when and how they're asked–support a two-state solution, 95 percent or more viscerally, emphatically oppose both the binational and secular democratic models. The mainstream of the Palestinian liberation movement, for its part, has for three decades supported the two-state solution, and even the Islamist Hamas has indicated that it would acquiesce. As with the Israelis, there's no real political constituency in the Palestinian community for the binational or democratic model, just support from a certain, if growing, number of intellectuals. Also, the Palestinian case for a separate, independent state is supported by a vast body of international law and many UN resolutions. If the movement were to abandon that model of national liberation in favor of participation as equal citizens in one state or a binational polity, it would weaken these legal and diplomatic defenses, and the overwhelming consensus of the international community, in favor of the unknown.
And while the chances for a two-state solution look particularly bleak now, circumstances can change rapidly. Witness the 2005 disengagement from Gaza: Apocalyptic settler resistance was predicted, and yet it came off without a hitch. Disengagement might have been a cynical ploy on Ariel Sharon's part to forestall negotiations, but it did seem to break the back of the Greater Israel movement. In its wake, some 50 percent of West Bank settlers have indicated their willingness to return to Israel. Furthermore, there is, despite the current diplomatic stasis, a living model for a fair two-state solution that could lead to peace not only between Israel and Palestine but between Israel and the entire Arab world: the recently reiterated Arab League proposal. The offer is there, if Israel and Washington have the courage to act on it.
From the Palestinian point of view–and from that of anyone who supports minimal standards of human rights–it's inevitable that if the two-state solution fades, the calls for inclusion on fully equal terms in one state will grow. And from the Israeli perspective, every "defeat" of Palestinian resistance, every new settlement, will only hasten the day when two populations of roughly equal size, one Jewish and one Palestinian, will be seen by the international community as functioning in essentially one state, under an apartheid system. The "separation wall," which divides the two populations while imprisoning one under the control of the other, will only accelerate that perception. In other words, the Jewish state, qua Jewish state, will in the long run be just as threatened by continuation along the present unilateralist path as by a major shift toward negotiations and reconciliation.
All Americans, whatever their ethnicity or religion, are deeply implicated in what happens in Israel/Palestine, given our government's identification with and massive aid to Israel. The conflict is a Middle East crisis, but whether we like it or not, it is very much an American dilemma. No issue inflames opinion against the United States more than its support for Israel's policies toward the Palestinians, which has put us on a collision course with the Arab and Muslim world. We must therefore continually rethink our assumptions. We at The Nation see it as our task to further the debate by providing a forum for it and by exploring all creative solutions. As in the past, we adhere to a general principle that's more important than any particular state formation: The two peoples must be afforded the right to live in peace and dignity, on fully equal terms, whether in one state or two.


Together we will focus our support and passion for the Pars through the PST to influence the key issues affecting DAFC through the Pars United CIC.

The Platani (), known in ancient Greek as the  (Lykos, "wolf") or  (Halykos, "Salty"), is a river in southern Sicily, Italy. It is the fifth longest in the island after Imera Meridionale, Simeto, Belice and Dittaino, with a course of 103 km, and the third for drainage basin with 1,785 km2, after the Simeto and Imera Meridionale. It flows through the provinces of Palermo and Agrigento, marking the boundary between the latter and that of Caltanissetta.

The river generates at the confluence of Platani di Lercara and Platani di Castronuovo, which, respectively, springs in the comuni of Lercara Friddi (under the Pizzo Lanzone mountain) and Santo Stefano Quisquina (between the Serra della Moneta and Pizzo della Rondine mountains). From the confluence to the mouth it runs for c. 83 km; including the branch of Castronuovo the total length is 103 km. Along its course the Platani receives the waters of several affluents, including the Gallo d'Oro, Turvoli, Vallone Morella, Vallone Tumarrano and Vallone di Aragona.

The river flows into the Strait of Sicily, near Capo Bianco, on the boundary of the comuni of Ribera and Cattolica Eraclea.

Earlier Harvest: A rooted rosemary plant from a cutting will mature quicker than a plant started from seed. Rosemary seeds tend to have low germination rates and take a long time to sprout and grow. A rosemary stem cutting will reach a usable size in just a few months, so you will be able to harvest rosemary sooner.
This article was originally published March 23, 2015. It has been updated with additional information, new photos, and video.
what is the reason for stripping leaves off of the bottom of the cutting?
Steph, The bottom leaves will just rot in the water. It is better to strip them off.
I have tried to grow rosemary several times but it always dies. One of the times that lasted the longest was a year plus but it barely grew. The last plant was store bought and lasted only a few weeks before it started to turn brown too. I suspect root rot but I always don't know how much to water. What else could be the problem? By the way, I live in a hot tropical climate with tons of sun and rain.
JL, I too suspect root rot from too much watering. Rosemary also absorbs moisture from the air. So your tropical climate is the perfect environment for it. Let the soil dry out in between waterings. The easiest way to tell is to stick your finger into the soil. If the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels dry, it's time to water. Let the water drain well through the bottom holes.
I also live in a tropical climate, SW Florida. I bought a small cheap rosemary plant, put it outside in a good sized planter with potting soil, and watered it very infrequently. It is now a huge bush! I just left it in the sun, in the pot; it germinated and grew. When too big for the pot, I transplanted it and staked it in my yard, and now it is enormous! The thing just grew on its own! Sometimes the more you fuss over a plant the less it responds; this one is just that, self-growing!
Marg, You are lucky to be in a climate that is favorable for rosemary. Rosemary can't take our cold winters.
Tom, Are the cuttings still alive? If so, then give them more time.
What a well written and helpful article. I have an old and established rosemary plant that I would like to make cuttings of, to grow on steep slope for erosion control. Is it possible to put the cuttings directly in to ground after they root? I live in Los Angeles and it is very warm and mild here.
Sparklegem, You may want to keep an eye on the plants and let them grow in containers until they form a good root system before transplanting. They need more moisture when the roots are small, but should be fine to transplant once the plants mature a bit.
We've been having issue of brown spots on the leaves / needles of rosemary plants. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Billy, many things can cause brown spots on rosemary leaves including disease, fungus, or spider mites. More likely, overwatering is the cause of leaves turning brown and dropping off. Rosemary prefers well-drained soil and moderate moisture conditions. Make sure your soil drains well and let the soil dry out between waterings.
Hi. I'm Marva from Jamaica. I'm just beginning to try gardening as a new hobby. I went to the outdoor market today and saw some rosemary. I used to live in a place where almost everyone had a rosemary hedge. So I thought this would be a great project to try down here. Thank you so much for the simple step-by-step guide. I can't wait to see how this'll all turn out.
I have bought one of those Christmas shaped rosemary trees and would like to use it for cooking but then replant outside here in the Phoenix AZ area. Is there a good time to do so? It still gets freezing here at night into winter but I have also left this in the pot in the past inside and it has died … the stems turned brown?
Thanks for the tutorials. I have been trying to grow rosemary and I can't wait to try this out.
Hi there. I just stumbled across your Rosemary advice and loved the way you have written it. I live in Canterbury in New Zealand and have grown and re-propagated Rosemary plants for over 40 years, so I'm keen to see more people doing it. Here, we have mild winters with snow on the ground for less than a month per winter and only a short season of frosts. Rosemary thrives in cold and when I lived nearer the mountains I had great healthy tasty plants, both prostrate and erect. As long as the ground temperature stays above minus 5 celsius (23 fahrenheit), you should have no problems allowing the plants to over-winter outdoors. Even a few really cold nights will make no difference… and you can still take delicious cuttings anytime.
Thanks for the tips, Ijan. Our winters are too cold for rosemary to survive outside, but those who live in the US Hardiness Zones 8 and further south can grow rosemary year around. These bushes can grow 4 feet tall and spreads about 4 feet wide depending on the variety.
I'm in zone 7 and my rosemary has surved outside over 20 years. Will definetly try cuttings this year. Thanks for the info.
Ken, That is so cool that your rosemary survives outside from year to year. It must be huge! You should be able to grow a lot of plants from cuttings. We are in zone 5 and it is too cold for rosemary in winter.
This sounds like the way to go. I tried planting rosemary seeds and none germinated. Last year I managed to get one plant so I am going to try to propagate more plants from it. I think I will try rooting in water and also directly in soil.
Don, I have tried growing rosemary from seed too and it seem to take forever to grow to a good size. Propagating from cuttings is much faster. Let me know how you make out.
Thank you very much. I learnt alot from you.
Rosemarie never makes it through the winter here either. I need to root a few and try them indoors. Thanks for the great idea.
Aww you made rosemary babies! Thanks for posting. Hello from Clever Chicks Blog Hop.
Great tutorial! I didn't know you could propagate rosemary this way!
Thanks for linking up with Green Thumb Thursday! I'd love it if you'd link up again this week!
This is new to me — my ancient rosemary plant is dying and I was feeling sad about it. now I'm hoping I can at least keep a chunk of it.
Thank you for enlightening us with these valuable tips propagating a Rosemary plant from stem cuttings at the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop! I'm pinning and sharing!
Thanks for the great information. I did not know how to do this so your post has been very helpful. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & twitted.
It definitely sounds easy enough for me. Looks like fun to do with kids so they can see the roots start in the water. Should they be put in soil as soon as the roots appear?
Yes, pot up the stem cuttings once roots develop. See step #5 above for the recommended soil mix. It can take a while for the roots to grow, just keep changing the water every few days to keep it fresh.
Another great tutorial! I do something similar with our lavender except I place in little pots of soil instead of water. I will have to try this 🙂 Thank you for sharing on the Art of Home-Making Mondays!
I love that you posted this! At our former home we had an old rosemary bush that was easily 4 feet tall! I have a smaller one now, but I would like to propagate more from it. I think I can handle this method!
Oh! And I am stopping by from the Back to Basics link up!
Thanks Ken! I'm impatient and like to see the roots before planting in soil. Isn't it wonderful to be able to grow new plants this way?
I live in SW France, clay soil, short hot summers, long wet winters & just break a branch (woody) stick it in the ground and it grows!
My 2 year old rosemary plant bit the dust only a couple of months after being brought inside. I'm so horrible with indoor plants, that I suppose the real miracle was that I was able to overwinter it the first year!
Hi Craig, I am not sure what your comment means. Rosemary is cold hardy to only 20°F (zone 9). Those of us in colder areas need to bring the plant indoors if we want it to survive.
cover mine when cold and open it up to sun when I can….its beautiful still.
Wow. Shannon, that is wonderful that you are able to keep your rosemary alive by covering it.
I live in zone 7 (mid-state North Carolina). I have had one ever spreading rosemary plant for at least 5 years. It's planted in ground. I never bring it in. It's one of the more robust plants in my garden.
Laurie, You are lucky! Rosemary does not survive our winters outside. We are in zone 5.
Rosemarinus 'Arp' is slightly more cold hardy, listed to Zone 6.
Where can I purchase rosemary seeds?
Don't bother with seeds – just buy a package of fresh rosemary at the grocery store.
Rosemary seeds are said to have a low germination rate. None of my seeds (fresh) germinated.
Janet, Yes, I have only succeeded in growing rosemary once from seed. It took a long time to germinate and reach harvest size. It is much quicker to propagate from stem cuttings.

Q: How do I use indentation in a  tag? I have a code tag with some computer code:

    int main(){

        printf("Hello World!");

    }

But when I display it in the browser, there will be no indentation. How can I do this, besides
using  ? Writing them would be a very tedious job.

A: The code element does not change normal HTML formatting rules, which collapse consecutive whitespace to a single space. It does not do much else either, beyond setting the font to monospace by default, though in special cases it may have some effect (e.g., automatic translation software might treat code elements so that their content is left untranslated).
You could use CSS to request different formatting:

But this is unnecessarily fragile (CSS rules might be ignored for various reasons), when you can simply use the pre element (and remove the br tags):

    int main(){
        printf("Hello World!");
    }

If you wish to additionally use the code element for some reason, then the valid way is to nest code inside pre, not vice versa. Here you then need to notice that special rules about ignoring a line break after a
 tag do not apply here (since there would be an intervening tag), so to avoid getting an extra line break at the beginning, you would need to write like this:

   int main(){
        printf("Hello World!");
    }

P.S. Neither code nor pre changes the rules about the markup-significant characters < and &, which should be encoded as < and &, respectively. For example, text like a<b&c would need to be written as a<b&c.

A:

    int main(){

        printf("Hello World!");

    }

A:

        int main(){
            printf("Hello World!");
        }

You can use the "pre" tag, which defines preformatted text. Text in a "pre" element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks. It is used when displaying text with unusual formatting, or some sort of computer code. And you will not need additional "br" tags.
Your code should look like the above one.
You can find more about the tag here.

4 football tips for Saturday's international tournament games
Jack Green
From the Women's World Cup to the Copa America, these are your best bets for Saturday's tournament football. If you fancy them all, back the acca at 37/1.
Netherlands Women to beat Italy Women (14:00)
Netherlands have won all four of their World Cup games so far without looking particularly impressive.
They did knock out 2015 runners-up Japan in the Round of 16 thanks to a late penalty, though, and should see off Italy, who have never advanced past this stage of the competition.
Le Azzure topped their group on goal difference after beating a poor Jamaica side 5-0, but they lost 1-0 to Brazil, who are the best team they've faced until this point.
Germany Women to beat Sweden Women to nil (17:30)
Germany have won all four of their World Cup matches so far, having beaten Spain, China and South Africa in the group stage and Nigeria in the first knockout round.
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's side are yet to concede a goal in the tournament, so they look a good bet to win to nil against Sweden.
Sweden beat Canada 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals, but they lost 2-0 to USA in Group F and will likely be eliminated here.
Draw and under 2.5 goals in Cameroon v Ghana (18:00)
Cameroon only need a draw to qualify for the knockout stages after beating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in their AFCON opener, and the holders should get the point they need in what promises to be an even game.
Ghana eked out a 2-2 draw with Benin on Tuesday after going down to 10 men early in the second half, but they have a strong squad and have only lost one of their last 11 games in all competitions.
There have been fewer than three goals scored in all 12 of the AFCON matches played before 21:00 BST so far, so this one is very unlikely to reach that mark.
Uruguay to beat Peru to nil (20:00)
Uruguay topped their Copa America group with seven points after beating Ecuador and Chile and drawing 2-2 with Japan.
Oscar Tabarez's side kept clean sheets in both of their group-stage victories, and now face a Peru side that finished third in their group and lost 5-0 to Brazil last Saturday.
Peru also failed to get on the scoresheet in a goalless draw with Venezuela in their opening match and don't possess the firepower to penetrate a Uruguayan defence anchored by Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez.

Home Routers The next Google Nest Wifi router is tipped to get a Wi-Fi 6 upgrade
The next Google Nest Wifi router is tipped to get a Wi-Fi 6 upgrade

We've not seen a new Google Nest Wifi product since 2019, but the rumor is that Google is about to push out a substantial upgrade to its range of mesh routers – and this time the latest Wi-Fi 6 speeds and technologies are going to be supported.
This is according to an anonymous source speaking to 9to5Google (opens in new tab), which can usually be depended on for accurate information. It also sounds as though the smart home networking kit that Google offers is going to be simplified to some extent.
A jump from Wi-Fi 5 (supported by the current line-up) to Wi-Fi 6 should see potential speed increases of up to 9.6 Gbps from 3.5 Gbps, assuming other connected devices are Wi-Fi 6 compatible. However, the source was unable to confirm whether or not the very latest Wi-Fi 6E standard would be adopted by the hardware.
Google Wifi vs Nest Wifi
Right now in the US you can pick up both a Nest Wifi pack and a Google Wifi pack, a rather confusing state of affairs. The latter devices don't offer Google Assistant support, but do have Ethernet ports on board, and are all identical: they can all act as routers connected to the internet and as satellite nodes expanding the mesh network.
In the current Nest Wifi series, there are routers and there are satellite nodes as distinct options. That is set to change with this update, so the Nest Wifi series will become more like the Google WiFi series (which last got a refresh in 2020).
For the time being we don't have a specific launch date for the next Nest Wifi products, though we wouldn't have thought they would be too far out. They are likely to come in a variety of colors, the report suggests, although as yet it's not clear whether or not Google Assistant will be on board again.
Analysis: overdue an upgrade
The original Google Wifi mesh networking system was introduced all the way back in 2016 and was quite advanced for its time. The idea of having several devices spread around the home to maximize Wi-Fi coverage everywhere was still fairly novel.
Since then, through the introduction of the friendlier-looking Nest devices, Google has really been overtaken by the competition. A mesh networking system like the Amazon Eero 6 already has Wi-Fi 6 built in, for example, and it's just as simple and straightforward to operate as the products that Google has on offer.
At the higher end, companies including Netgear and Linksys have been putting out premium networking gear that can cover huge areas with superfast Wi-Fi. A device such as the Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 costs substantially more than Google Nest Wifi, but at the same time it also offers a significantly better level of performance and features.
That's the sort of competition that Google is up against, and an update for its mesh networking hardware is now long overdue. The introduction of Wi-Fi 6 will be a good start for the new models, but as always pricing is going to be crucial.
