We have passed the mid-season mark at both Bell 2 Lodge and Ripley Creek. All cylinders are firing. After a very snowy January which saw over 270 cm of new snow, the first week of February delivered another 40cm of fresh. This was quickly followed by a massive high pressure system that gave us a 10 day drought and had the guides exploring our terrain for freshies. Several first descents where bagged, which is kind of incredible given that we've been skiing these lands for almost 25 years. Last week a healthy reset [up to 60cm of storm snow] made for some of the best days of the season. As we write, the blue skies are back and the dreamy skiing continues. See our full report.
Droughts happen. It doesn't matter if you're skiing in the Alps, in Japan or in British Columbia. Extended high pressure system are part of a normal weather pattern and they can strike anytime in the winter – early, middle or late. At Last Frontier we have a huge advantage over operations with smaller skiing areas. The incredible diversity and scale of our tenure allows us to find untracked and well preserved powder stashes even if it doesn't snow for a week or longer. That's the main advantage of having such a huge tenure. This is the time when we fly a little further and dig a little deeper. With over 1,000 marked descents in our area, we we've never run out of ideas. And when the snow inevitably returns, we have plenty of bad-weather skiing terrain available too. Have a look for yourself.
Steve has been exposed to heli skiing since childhood when his father, George Rosset, founded Last Frontier Heliskiing (and before that TLH Heliskiing). It wasn't until 2011, however, that he left a career in real estate consulting to join the Last Frontier team. With a deep-seated passion for photography and the outdoors, Steve is on a quest to broadcast Last Frontier Heliskiing to the world. When he's not planning our next sermon, you'll find him with his wife Priscillia, hiking, biking or skiing, often with a camera in hand.


The word "pholar" is a combination of "photo" and "popular" and the name of an interest-based social network service provided by a South Korean internet content service operator. Hashtags are put centre stage and help to interact through photos and videos with others who share similar interests. These hashtags inserted when content is uploaded represent more than just signs used for tagging, they symbolise a theme. Various contents of the same theme are collected in specific galleries. Users can follow or subscribe to those galleries, enabling them to engage in free communication and meet up. Thus, this app exceeds the limitations of similar applications and provides for an innovative new generation of social network services that create networks based on users' interests.

Q: Facebook not giving useful information in webhook I have implemented Facebook webhook successfully by https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/webhooks/
I have subscribed to But it is missing useful information, It gives me following response
The JSON is for example:
{
    "object":"user",
    "entry":[{
             "uid":"1408932149",
             "id":"1408932149",
             "time":1370253930,
             "changed_fields":["feed"]
   }]
}

But I want to track what actions happen on user's post which posted by my application. Here on every action it gives me feed in changed_fields. Its pretty useless for me
Basically I want to track like, comment and share of the posts for users in real time which shared from my software/app. I have subscribed to this reference https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/webhooks/reference/user/
I know for page it is working through webhook but how can I track user's post data with the webhook?
Can anyone suggest where I am doing wrong?

Great white shark trek continues, as another tagged shark Martha reaches NJ
Dan Radel
The great white sharks, the ocean's apex predators, continue to swim north as another OCEARCH tagged shark has "pinged" near the New Jersey coast.
Martha, a juvenile female great white shark, was swimming near the mouth of the Delaware Bay just south of Cape May yesterday around noon, according to OCEARCH's Global Shark Tracker.
She follows on the heels of Andromache, another tagged great white shark, which migrated up the coast here from southern wintering grounds a little more than a week ago. Andromache, a sub-adult female, last pinged May 11 on the Long Island coast.
Martha was just 7 feet long and 184 pounds when she was captured by OCEARCH's research team off the coast of Massachusetts last Aug. 13. She was named after Martha's Vineyard by the researchers who caught and released her.
More sharks: Andromache, a tagged great white shark, returns to NJ coast off Barnegat Inlet
OCEARCH, a nonprofit research group, has been tagging great white sharks, or simply white sharks, since 2007 in order to gain data on the animal's life cycle.
The group has placed satellite tags on the dorsal fins of dozens of white sharks on the eastern seaboard. A "ping" occurs when the tag is above the water long enough, which is about 90 seconds, for the satellite to pick it up and mark its position on the Global Shark Tracker.
Big fish: Great white shark Nukumi, which weighs over 3,500 pounds, reaches New Jersey coast
Martha swam down the New Jersey coast last fall on a migration route that took her as far south as the South Carolina/Georgia border. She spent the winter off the coast of the Carolinas before beginning to trek north in mid-March. The route is similar to the routes of most of the sharks tagged by OCEARCH.
The largest of OCEARCH's tagged great white sharks with an active satellite tag is Nukumi, who measured 17 feet, 2 inches, and over 3,500 pounds when she was tagged off the coast of Nova Scotia on Oct. 2, 2020. See a video of her tagging at the top of this story.
Nukumi, who is female, swam down the New Jersey coastline last fall, and appears to have traveled to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a deep rift on the ocean floor about midway between here and Europe. She last pinged on April 11.

STAMFORD, Conn., October 12, 2009 - A well-documented and enforced records management program adds consistency, compliance and structure to the enormous volumes of records and media created and received in law firms on a daily basis, according to a new white paper available from the legal solutions division of Pitney Bowes Management Services (PBMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI).
The white paper, "Law Firm Records Management," points out that the records management (RM) solution in law firms has become much broader and more complex, and not only needs to address traditional records questions (what exists, where it is and how to get it), but must also focus on new regulations, huge volumes, and the expanded variety of records types, integration, media, and formats that exist throughout the record's lifecycle.
"Today's law firm is a hybrid environment of hard copy and electronic records as it attempts to migrate to a reduced paper environment over time. An effective records management program therefore, must keep pace with changing technology and an increased reliance on electronic records, while recognizing that managing paper records is still a major component of the RM operation and will continue to be so for years to come," notes Dave Hutchinson, president, Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions (PBLS).
The white paper can be accessed by logging on to www.pblegalsolutions.com.
Pitney Bowes Legal Solutions designs, implements and operates solutions that provide leading law firms and corporate counsel clients with end-to-end litigation support, document services, records management and office services that meet the responsiveness and accuracy standards of the legal profession.

Players Are Chomping At The Bit - Bates
Pools boss Matthew Bates
Matthew Bates has insisted that his players are determined to clinch their first win of the season on Saturday when Maidenhead United visit The Super 6 Stadium.
The Pools boss says that, whilst they didn't get the result they wanted at Braintree Town on Tuesday night, the nature of the performance will give them confidence moving towards the weekend.
They were desperately unlucky not to bring maximum points back from Cressing Road in midweek after dominating the game and Bates is demanding more of the same on Saturday.
"That first 45 against Braintree has to be our standard now," he told Pools PlayerHD.
"It's the best we've been this season by far and we need to replicate that – if we do, then we'll be alright.
"The lads are chomping at the bit. Liam Noble's wife has just given birth to their son and the first thing he told me on a text message was that he'd be back for Saturday and he wants three points.
"That's the type of character we have in the dressing room now. They're desperate for the win and so are the fans - this is a different group to last year and performances have shown that."
After finishing comfortably in mid-table during their debut season in the National League last term Maidenhead have had a tricky start to the new campaign.
However, the fact they lie at the base of the table with just one point to their name does not really interest Bates who says all the focus has to be on making sure Pools' own performance levels are right.
"Maidenhead being bottom is irrelevant.
"I have had them watched and they're a good side but the last couple of games it's been about us and that's the mentality I want at the moment.
"We'd like to play the way we did on Tuesday so more of the fans can witness it really so we want to keep some momentum and take the game to them this weekend."

Loudoun Valley wins NXN with a kick and a smile

Cross country runners aren't imposing figures, and Peter Morris knows that. The Loudoun Valley guys couldn't walk up to the rest of the Nike Cross Nationals field, stare everybody down and expect a response, but Morris knew if they could just be themselves on Portland, Ore.'s Glendoveer Golf Course, everyone would have a good reason to be scared of them. Like an alligator's grin, a Viking's laugh was a sign of danger to come.
"We just showed up and were united and knew if we ran our best, we'd win," he said. "The way we've bonded has been one of the reasons we've run well, and we've bonded because we have fun together."
It wasn't quite that easy, but it was that straightforward. Hard work, smart training, bonding and some insight from Morris' experience racing here last year all went into what turned out to be the most dominant boys' team victory in NXN's 14-year history as the high school team cross country championship.

On the eve of the the most dominant team race in Virginia history, Sam Affolder was a little disappointed.
"We had a team meeting, and I was expecting an inspirational speech about how we were going to make history and we'd come out fired up," he said. "We talked about what we were going to wear the next day. Nothing about trying to sweep or go after the state record. I'd never had a pre-race meeting like that before."

Paul Grey released his new CD EP, But I Fly on Monday 16th March. The Inspiration behind the song comes from his experience 30 years ago when he went into the mental health system aged 20, often via the police. In the mental health unit, he would be put on medication and placed in a seclusion cell. Today Paul is married with 3 children, runs his own business and leads a church in Wolverhampton, UK.
But I Fly – Testimony Mix is a song of reflection and tells of Paul's personal transformation after the struggle. Like the transformational process of a caterpillar into a butterfly, the song takes you through the process. This song is for all those going through some form of struggle; in particular those going through, or have gone through mental health issues in our community. There is hope and Reggae Music has a big role to play in restoring healing and wellbeing!

Pete Davidson, Michelle Yeoh roped in for 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts'
Michelle Yeoh and Pete Davidson
Los Angeles, Oct 12 (UiTV/IANS) – Actors Michelle Yeoh and Pete Davidson are rolling out for 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts', with both actors cast in voice roles in the upcoming franchise entry from Paramount.
On Tuesday afternoon, 'Rise of the Beasts' director Steven Caple Jr. shared the news of the pair joining the production through an Instagram post, featuring two different videos from recording sessions "the first with Davidson and the second with Yeoh, reports 'Variety'.
Yeoh voices a character named Airazor, while Davidson voices Mirage. The two join a cast that includes Anthony Ramos and Dominque Fishback, who will star in the film in live-action roles.
"Rise of the Beasts" will bring the 'Transformers' franchise to the 1990's, a time period which Paramount's films have not taken place in yet."
"The film is said to introduce the Maximals and Terrorcons, two more cybernetic alien parties that will take sides in the Earth-bound battle between Autobots and Decepticons."
Within 'Transformers' lore, Yeoh's character, Airazor, is a member of the Maximals, which are the descendants of the Autobots. She can transform into a falcon-like appearance.
Mirage is an autobot that has previously appeared in Paramount's "Transformers" films, voiced by the late actor Francesco Quinn in 2011's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian and Duncan Henderson.
Entertainment One, Hasbro's entertainment studio, executive produces, while Skydance and New Republic Pictures are co-financing and executive producing.
The film is set to hit theaters on June 9, 2023.

Working for an organization that you didn't build is not easy. You are constantly dealing with other people's poor judgements, bad behavior and questionable ethics. You fortify your inner workplace warrior, listening to what others say in attempt to give them the benefit of the doubt. You know who and what triggers you and you've got strategy in place to ignore and avoid them. That will certainly serve as your defensive plan, and to move your career forward you to need to also position yourself offensively, and to up your career game to the big league you need a team. You need colleagues, a coach, and a captain to help steer your career ship by advocating for your talent and skills, making sure the waters ahead are clear. In this week's Sun-day design I want you to find your workplace ally. The person who is ready to be part of Team You.
To move your career to the next level you must have people who will champion the best parts of you, your accomplishments, career interests, and be willing to do so particularly when you're not in the room.
Think of someone at work who gets you. Understands your thoughts, your flavor, your brand. If you don't have someone in mind, it's time to build and find your allies. You can start building your army with the people you have lunch with or recognize them as a warm face in the hall. It's time to build some bond.
You'll know this person is the right ally for you if they in fact name one of your gremlins or if they shed some light on your personality blind spot. Now that's someone I always want on team "Me".
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I know for me it's scary to for feedback, and I have to remind myself of the payoff. The things people say about you when you're not in the room is your brand, and you want to have power to influence your brand equity.

The I-275/Ohio 32 interchange is presently causing the most motorist angst. It was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a cloverleaf design, which tends to work well in rural areas, Stephenson said. As the Eastgate area developed, though, the cloverleaf's functionality declined. Short distances between on- and off-ramps meant some vehicles were accelerating while others were decelerating, and everyone was forced to merge quickly and jockey for position, creating a dangerous traffic weave.
That caused problems for northbound or southbound I-275 traffic (75,000 vehicles per day in 2010, estimated to jump to 83,000 in 2030), and eastbound or westbound Ohio 32 traffic (65,000 daily vehicles in 2010, rising to an estimated 79,000 in 2030), according to ODOT.
From 2009 to 2011, according to the department, about 100 rear-end and sideswipe accidents in the area were likely caused by traffic weaving between the closely spaced on- and off-ramps.
Once the interchange project is complete, five of the six dangerous weave situations will have been eliminated, ODOT says.
The new design will give motorists traveling southbound on I-275 onto Ohio 32 a choice: They can exit onto a new ramp that leads to a new traffic signal from which they can turn east or west onto Ohio 32. That option is in place. Eventually, traffic headed beyond Eastgate Boulevard will be able to exit onto a "flyover" ramp that bypasses that road.
Because the flyover ramp won't be finished until fall 2015, all southbound I-275 drivers headed to Ohio 32 must for the moment pass through the traffic signal. "That's the temporary pain that everybody's having to live through right now," Manger said.
To help lessen that pain, ODOT has been working with its contractor to add a lane to the off ramp some time this spring. Signal timing adjustments also are being made.
The situation is a bit better for northbound I-275 traffic.
Northbound traffic now exits at a new ramp leading to a new traffic signal at Ohio 32. Motorists can turn east or west. Because of backups there, a short connector to Ohio 32 was temporarily re-opened to give eastbound traffic a second option. Eventually, eastbound traffic will have the option of bypassing Eastgate Boulevard by merging with traffic on the flyover ramp from southbound I-275.
In the meantime, local businesses, especially those that rely on customers' driving to their stores, wait for construction to end.
"It has had somewhat of a negative impact on customer flow," said Jason Hubbard, manager of Mattress & Furniture Express on Eastgate Square Drive. "You kind of suffer through things, because something's going to be better."
At Jungle Jim's Eastgate store, "When they first started (construction), we thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is going to be brutal,' " said Phill Adams, development director. The store posted notices to alert customers to new traffic configurations weeks ahead of time. As it turns out, the construction "hasn't hurt us at all," Adams said. "Union Township police are out there every night, monitoring the light and controlling (traffic) when they need to. That's been a huge help." Overall, he said, it's been "a very smooth project."
Several smaller road projects are also in the works or soon will be: a roundabout at Eastgate South Drive; an extension of Ivy Pointe Boulevard; and the Aicholtz Road Connector, which will reconnect Mount Carmel Tobasco Road with Eastgate Boulevard.
It's all part of the massive undertaking that Manger knows can lead to headaches for motorists. His advice: "Continue to be patient. A real solution is on the way." ⬛

REAL IDs are now rolling out in North Dakota.
West Dakota Fox TV reports that the State Department of Transportation is now issuing the IDs in Bismarck with plans to go statewide in the next few weeks.
Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 on recommendation from the 9/11 Commission.
The Department of Homeland Security noted that some of the 9/11 hijackers had used fraudulent IDs.
The commission said the government needed to set standards on the issuances of personal identification.
As the Christian Science Monitor reports, roughly half the states are already in compliance. Others, including North Dakota, have received extensions, and have until October 1, 2020 to comply.
Once the deadline passes, you will need a REAL ID in North Dakota to fly commercially, gain access to federal facilities and enter nuclear power plants.
You can apply for your REAL ID at the Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Division.


Commands on the keys! Genius!
If you had the 16K or 48K model, of course you were helped out by having all the commands on the keys for you (clever Sir Clive) though you still had to get the combinations correct. Though that said, these were easily mastered after a few days or weeks of being locked away in your bedroom not talking to anyone for what was, well in my case, 90% of the duration of my summer holidays from school. Yes, I loved my Spectrum more than my friends. I hope I'm not alone. Though not as alone as I was during my school holidays.
Enough negativity! Programming your Spectrum was amazing, even if it just entailed you making your name flash in the middle of the screen, changing the colour of the text - throwing a BEEP command in there was taking it to another level! The pinnacle of your BASIC programming career though would always be going to your local shop which had computer set up (they used to have them in the 80's) and filling the screen with obscenities.
A lot of programmers mastered the art of BASIC programming and moved onto machine code (argh! Scary!) though for the amateurs among us, there was a frustration that you couldn't take it further and create your own game that you had created by yourself. This is where the 'ZX Spectrum Games Code Club' book comes in.
Takeaway Ted. Five of each, please!
The book includes twenty BASIC games for you to type-in and enjoy. After each program, the book explains in great detail, how each element of the game works. This includes explaining what each BASIC command means and how it is reflected on the screen, or indeed if it is something that works away in the background.
Earn some Insignia in this game. Sorry, though that said Astra Invaders.
Having the program broken up and explained like this is an ideal way of getting your head around programming, expanding your knowledge of programming and indeed even set you on your way of creating your own programs. What you will notice is that the further you go along, the more you learn as the breakdown of the code will only be relevant to the new code and techniques used. No one needs to be told twenty times what 'PRINT AT' means. With this progressive nature, you will find the book pulls you along to learn more and keeps you interested as you go along.
Rachel Riley never looked so good.
Whether you're completely new to programming, looking to improve your BASIC knowledge, or indeed just want to refresh your memory, everything is catered for here. From a personal level, I never got much further than INPUT commands asking people what their names were, how old they were and then insulting them needlessly. Well, it's what you did when you were 12, right? (Just me?) I always wanted to advance my knowledge and programming skills but the books around then, that I could find anyway, just consisted of pages of programs which were typed in with you not really knowing what you were doing.
Of course, you knew what you were doing, though I mean in a way where you weren't exactly sure which part of the program did what, and how changing something slightly may look, or indeed actually work (5: Out of Screen - ring any bells to anyone?). You really did need to someone to point out and talk through every in minute detail so really knew what was going on. This is what the book aims for and acheives. Which means, if you're anything like me, you can sit in your room on your own with no disturbances and without having to talk to anyone - bonus!
With a games list that includes Flappy Bird, Breakout, Solar C5 race (above), The Numbers Game (see above - Countdown homage), Textrix (you can probably guess that one) Mini Pong and many others, you have a whole plethora of games to play with and plenty of genres to choose from.
Of course, they can be programmed on your original Speccy or by using any number of emulators out there that are available for PC/MAC or Android/iOS devices (you can't really beat using a Speccy though).

Great, central location. Very comfortable condo with a well-supplied, modern kitchen. The owners were very responsive and helpful.
My husband and I took our 6month old for her first trip to the beach this October. While the weather was windy and a little chilly we found this condo to be cozy and well cared for. We were really impressed with Fripp island and it's occupants. You couldn't ask for nicer people. We will definitely come back!
Great family getaway just a few steps from the beach!
Two of our kids had gone with friends to Fripp Island so they begged us to go. We decided to take a family trip. The condo was perfect for the 5 of us. Super close to the beach! I enjoyed having coffee each morning on the patio. A few mornings, the deer would come up and say hello. It is located just next door to the resort's food court and pools (amenity cards required). The condo owner was quick to respond if we had a question. We ate breakfast and lunch at the condo and had everything we needed in the kitchen.
I would consider renting this condo again if we return to Fripp.

About 100 Might Have Had Contact With Dallas Ebola Patient or Family: Officials
By Todd L. Davis	• Published October 2, 2014 • Updated on October 2, 2014 at 3:55 pm
Only a handful of the 100 or so people identified as having had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the Unites States, or his family's home, will need to be monitored for exposure to Ebola, health officials said Thursday.
Members of Duncan's household and healthcare workers who had been in contact with him were among those being monitored, said Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during a conference call.
Not all of the 100 or so identified have been interviewed yet, and the CDC does not have a specific number of people who will be monitored, he said.
[NATL-DFW] Dallas Ebola Patient Identified; Contacts Isolated
Dallas health officials are currently only looking at 18 people who have had close contact with Duncan, though Zach Thompson, the director of Dallas County Health and Human Services, said he expects that number to increase and that it may include a second diagnosis for Ebola.
"I would not be shocked if we see that second case, but to date there has not been any indication that any of the contacts that we have been tracking show any signs or symptoms," Thompson said. "The only close contact that we're aware of [with] this patient was with his immediate children and his wife. So now we're looking at close friends."
Officials are investigating Duncan's background and trip from Liberia. Liberian officials now say they intend to prosecute the 42-year-old for allegedly lying on his airport screening questionnaire before flying to the U.S.
[NATL-DFW] Liberia to Prosecute Man Who Brought Ebola to U.S.
Dallas County health officials have ordered four of his family members to stay home and to accept no visitors to prevent potential spread of the disease, according to a news release.
State Orders Ebola Patient's Family to Stay Home
Officials expect the list of 100 "potential or possible contacts" to narrow as they "focus in on those whose contact may represent a potential risk of infection," a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services said Thursday.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we're starting with this very wide net, including people who have had even brief encounters with the patient or the patient's home," spokeswoman Carrie Williams said in a statement. "The number will drop as we focus in on those whose contact may represent a potential risk of infection."
The family of Dallas Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, is raising new questions about how Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital handled the case.
Hospital officials, meanwhile, said they're optimistic that Duncan, a Liberian national, will recover. He is listed in serious condition at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
Duncan tested positive for Ebola less than two weeks after he arrived in the U.S. from Liberia, health officials confirmed Tuesday. He initially sought care at a hospital Sept. 25, shortly after showing symptoms, but was released. He returned Sept. 28 and was flagged as a potential Ebola case.
[NATL] "Contact Tracing" Explained: How to Stop Ebola From Spreading
The timing has raised questions about why Duncan wasn't treated as a possible Ebola patient sooner, given his recent travel.
Duncan's nephew Josephus Weeks told NBC News he had reached out to the CDC out of fear that he might infect other people. He urged doctors to give Duncan the same experimental drugs credited with saving the lives of American aid workers, including Dr. Kent Brantly of Fort Worth.
"He's doing all right. He's in our prayers. We are really rooting on him," Weeks told NBC News. "I'm hoping that he can get the same kind of treatment that was given to the four other patients that survived, and that's my concern."
Officials Focus on Those Facing Exposure Risk
Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zach Thompson initially said that up to 80 people came into contact with Duncan or Duncan's family. A spokesperson for the Texas Department of State Health Services later said they are "working from a list of about 100 potential or possible contacts and will soon have an official contact tracing number that will be lower."
Officials did not say whether Duncan was symptomatic during the interactions. Not all had close, physical contact. Officials previously confirmed that several school-age children came into contact with him.
[NATL] What You Need to Know: How the Ebola Virus Is Spread
Ten CDC officials are looking at Duncan's trip from Liberia to Dallas, which spanned more than 9,000 miles and included stops in Brussels and a major airport servicing the Washington, D.C. area. Officials said they'll determine whether fellow passengers need to be contacted.
Family Under Legal Order
After previously being told to stay home and isolated, Duncan's relatives could now face legal action if they don't comply.
Texas and Dallas County health officials issued a legal order requiring the four family members to stay home and not have any visitors until Oct. 19, the Texas Department of State Health Services said in a news release.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Thursday that the four "were noncompliant with the request to stay home, " though he did not specify where they went.
"We have tried and true protocols to protect the public and stop the spread of this disease," Dr. David Lakey, Texas health commissioner, said in the release. "This order gives us the ability to monitor the situation in the most meticulous way."
The order also requires the family to provide blood samples, agree to any testing required and immediately report any symptoms. The family members do not have symptoms at this time.
Symptoms include fever above 100.5 degrees, headache, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Texas law allows the health officials to issue such control measures. If a person does not follow these orders, they can be enforced by the courts, and the person can face criminal charges.
Dallas ISD Children Being Monitored
Five Dallas Independent School District children had contact with Duncan and are being monitored at home, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday, though the school district says they are not showing any symptoms.
NBC 5's Ellen Bryan spoke to DISD spokesman Andre Riley about precautions they are taking after revealing five students had close contact with the man diagnosed with the Ebola virus.
Two students at Sam Tasby Middle School possibly came into contact with Duncan, and one student each at Dan D. Rogers Elementary, L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary and Emmett J. Conrad High School, according to DISD Superintendent Mike Miles.
The students are being advised to stay home and are being closely observed by the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department, the school district said in a news release.
[NATL-DFW] 5 Kids Who Had Contact With Ebola Patient Monitored
"Since the students are not presenting any symptoms, there is nothing to suggest that the disease was spread to others including students and staff," it said.
Some North Texas parents are weighing whether or not to send their kids to school Thursday due to the Ebola virus.
The district has launched a recorded hotline to provide updates to parents. The hotline number is 972-925-5810. Parents can also visit www.dallasisd.org/healthupdates for information.
Nephew: Patient Not Properly Treated
Duncan's nephew Joseph Weeks said his uncle was not properly treated during his initial visit to a Dallas hospital.
Health officials acknowledged that Duncan was initially sent home from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital after complaining of fever and abdominal pain. He returned days later in an ambulance.
"I called CDC to get some actions taken, because I was concerned for his life and he wasn't getting the appropriate care," Weeks said. "I feared other people might also get infected if he wasn't taken care of."
The North Texas medical community is taking proactive steps to stop the spread of the Ebola virus.
Weeks said the CDC referred him to the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which took appropriate action. He added that he hoped "nobody else got infected because of a mistake that was made."
"I called the CDC and they instructed me of the process, and that got the ball rolling," Weeks said.
A CDC spokesman told NBC News the agency could not comment on Weeks' claim. The hospital did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hospital officials said they'll review why Duncan was allowed to leave during his initial visit.
Neighbor Witnessed Patient Vomiting
Two days after initially being sent home from the hospital, neighbor Mesud Osmanovic said he saw Duncan vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex in the 7200 block of Fair Oaks Avenue as he was loaded into an ambulance.
"His whole family was screaming," Osmanovic said. "He got outside, and he was throwing up all over the place."
Three paramedics took Duncan to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital by ambulance. At the time, though, they had no idea they were dealing with a patient with the Ebola virus.
"What our paramedics saw was this could be a contagious person, not knowing what it would turn into," said Lieutenant Joel Lavender with Dallas Fire-Rescue.
The three paramedics are currently at home being monitored for 21 days. Health officials are also keeping a close eye on anyone who they have confirmed has been in contact with Duncan after he showed symptoms of the disease about a week ago.

In Canada, food is the third largest household expense after shelter and transportation. At my house, food is our number one household expense (that's what happens when you are mortgage and car loan free). We were spending $1,200 a month ($280/week) for a family of five (all groceries, not just food). In my opinion, it was getting out of control so I decided it was time to do something about it. I set a goal to reduce our spending to $220 per week from $280 with a long-term goal of $180 per week. I was doing well until last month, and then December happened! My December grocery challenge was a FAIL, here is why.
Christmas is not a good time of the year to try to save money on groceries. Aside from all the food needed to make an awesome traditional Christmas dinner, we entertain more and eat lots of different and sometimes more expensive food during the holiday season. There is also a lot more baking going on at my house. My son starts asking in late November when I plan to start baking my Christmas cookies; I can't let him down for the sake of saving money, can I?
When we came back from our Hawaiian holiday in early December, we didn't have anything ready for Christmas. I had to catch up at work (more hours) and manage to prepare for the holidays in my "spare" time. Beside Christmas shopping (which can take forever if you want to get something meaningful), we had to get the Christmas tree set up, decorate the house, bake some yummy goodies, organize my annual toy and food fundraising, etc. Things got a little crazy and I stopped meal planning and just went with the flow.
I know, what does that have to do with anything? Well when you are sick, the last thing you want to do is plan your dinners, check Flipp and go grocery shopping, so I didn't do any of that! I sent my partner or kids shopping as needed and it was often! Didn't know what we were going to eat from one day to the next, and honestly I really didn't care. All I wanted to do was rest!
These are my excuses for my December Grocery Challenge FAIL. It doesn't take much to get sidetracked!
But How Did We Really Do?
First, there won't be a breakdown of my grocery budget this month. There were just too many receipts (too many trips to the store!) and I was way too behind. I usually update my spreadsheet (I love spreadsheets!) once a week so it is painless but I was a few weeks behind and really didn't see the point since I already knew where I blew it.
I did add up all the receipts for the month and we didn't do as poorly as I thought.
Our average weekly spending was $241/week for December!
I didn't meet my goal to get to $220 by the end of the year but there is progress:). I think we are conditioning ourselves to shop smarter and it is starting to pay off.
The 2018 grocery spending challenge is on and my goal is to reduce our spending by 30% to $200 per week. (I had $180 as a goal for a while but it's not realistic for my family at this point).
Stay within the established budget.
Being extremely frugal when it comes to food is not for me! But it would if I was doing it out of necessity. I am lucky this is not the case.
Shop once a week if at all possible.
Plan your meals for the week, before you go shopping.
Make a list and stick to it. Sounds so simple and easy but most of us don't do it.
Know the price of food; one of the best ways to save is to know the prices of the products you buy often. This will help you figure out if you are getting a good deal on sale items. This has worked great for me and it was very enlightening at first. All those great deals I thought I was getting at Costco for vegetables!
Stick to one stop shop, two if you have too. The more places you go, the more tempted you will be to buy unnecessary items. I have done this so many times, trust me stick to one or two stores.
Try to come up with meals to use up all leftovers. At my house, we regularly eat frittata, quiche or stir fry so I can get rid of some of the leftovers.
Price check and shop around for sales and coupons. I use the app Flipp to get access to all weekly flyers and also to store my master grocery list.
How about you, how did you do with your food budget in December? Do you have any additional tips? Are you trying to reduce your grocery spending too?
I had a friend in LA whose husband refused to eat leftovers. I had a semi-heated argument with him once about it (because leftovers are a busy Mom's best friend!) I even argued that some leftovers were better the second time around, like chili or soup, but I got nowhere. I still think about this guy sometimes and how I would've killed him many times over on busy evenings, ha!
Hi Tom, yes there is always room for improvement. If my daughter wasn't Celiac we probably would buy a lot more prepared food. I do once in a while but in general I prefer if we all eat the same thing.
December is an exception budget wise. That's why the New Year resolutions start in January. We splurge in Dec, then get back to the track in Jan. Like you said, I don't want to be too frugal on food either. I feel, eating is a joy, as long as the diet is healthy and balanced, and the waste is minimized.
Hi Helen, yes I think December will always be an exception.
Great list of ways to save money on grocery purchases. We always make enough for dinner one night to feed us for lunch the next day and sometimes lunch for two days. It saves us time and money. Also, buying some fruits and vegetables frozen helps too. While we do buy fresh and local mostly, frozen items make sense at times from a cost and less waste perspective.
December pretty much requires an adjustment in just about every spending category, at least from what I've found. It seems that if you are prepared, you might make the adjustment to your budget up front knowing that it will likely be different from the average month. I recommend this because December is usually stressful enough as it is without having to add on trying to reach a target that may not be worth the aggravation.
Good point on planning better! Thanks MB.
Can you expand on the Costco statement? We seem to save $ on produce and some meats there, but I keep hearing people tell stories to the contrary.
My friend Soap (I'll mention her more later) is trying to reduce her food budget of $1000/month (just for her!!) and having a hard time. It's like trying to raise a baby and teach her everything from scratch. I think you're doing great considering you were sick and on vacation and it was Xmas. I wouldn't of even attempted until after new year's.
OMG $1,000 for one person! What does she eat??
$1000 a month for one person, what the hell? Filet mignon for dinner every night? Lol.
Don't beat yourself up! Us too, it's hard to get back into the groove after a nice Hawaiian vacation! We have been eating out a lot or meeting friends for meals so it's been hard too.
Re: CashflowKat- I can't believe someone would refuse to eat leftovers. My ex didn't really like eating leftovers either, thank goodness he's an ex haha.
Maybe it's time to go back:) I could use another break, it is so cold here!
December is tough on the budget so I just add extra to the budget for December and try to re adjust in January. Good list of ways to save money on grocery and good luck with your grocery challenge.
I know grocery is a tough one but we spend so much on it! You seem to be doing great so:) Keep it up!
You should have seen our grocery bills 6 months ago haha.
Is it posted on your blog?
Hmm no not exactly. It's on my list to write about it some time soon – we've cut it more than in half.
Our December grocery spending was surprisingly low (I think because I hoard things in our pantry and freezer). In past years though December has been pricey for all the reasons you listed! When I started tracking spending in 2015 we were spending like $600/month on groceries for the TWO of us! In two years I've focused, and got it down to $220/month (still just two of us). I love grocery shopping so I'll hit 2-3 stores in one day to get the loss leaders at all the stores. And we stick to mostly unprocessed foods since they are healthier and typically less expensive.
Dec is always the highest month for expenses. We tend to lose track during the holiday, so it's ok! 🙂 As long as it doesn't become a habit lol.
Your line: Being extremely frugal when it comes to food is not for me!
I feel that way too! Unless, I'm living paycheck to paycheck then that's different. But it's still important to get foods at awesome prices which you've listed out.
Like you mention, I use flip as well. We tend to go to real canadian superstore (our one stop shop) because we can easily price match almost anything with flipp. We also use Checkout 51 and Caddle apps, but we only check after buying the item. That way, we know we won't be buying just because the offer was on the app.
I still check Checkout51 but it is such a slow process, I don't always do it. I heard Real Canadian Superstore is pretty competitive, we have one close by, I may check it out. I am just worried I may get sidetracked with all the other stuff they have!
I have tried grocery challenges and have to admit it is a weak spot. I went away from stressing about individual budget categories a while though.
My happiness has been much improved by doing so. I focus on saving first and foremost the rest I don't stress I just let things go. I find it much more balanced.
Hi DM, Yes it can get a little stressful but it is our largest expense and I am doing everything else already:) Plus at the end of the day, I can afford what I am buying so it's not as stressful as if I "had" to.
