Support staff crucial for successful school reopening
by: Courtney Kramer
Posted: Sep 4, 2020 / 07:19 PM EDT / Updated: Sep 7, 2020 / 10:43 AM EDT
As the start of school gets underway, the role of support staff has become more important than ever during the age of coronavirus.
"It was all hands on deck for our support staff," said Thomas Palmer, superintendent of Peru Central Schools. "Our bus drivers, our monitors, our aides, our cafeteria staff."
He says support staff haven't stopped working since March, whether it's delivering food to students on a daily basis throughout the spring semester or the custodial staff rearranging furniture to ensure social distancing in the classroom. Their efforts will only continue as students return, beginning when they step on the school bus on the first day.
"Our bus drivers will be equipped with 10 extra masks in case a student forgot one," Palmer said. "They will be required to disinfect the buses between runs."

Back-to-School: The technology and support that makes reopening possible
In Vermont, some districts are taking on more personnel to accommodate the changes.
"Districts are ramping up staffing to implement guidance," said Dan French, Secretary of the Vermont Agency of Education. "I think in some cases it's around implementing the daily health checks, I know districts have hired bus monitors and additional nursing staff and so forth."
"It's hard to know what my day's going to look like," said Elizabeth Wirth, COVID-19 Coordinator for Washington Central Unified Union Schools. "I'll be flexible and I'll be in many different places."
Wirth has been a nurse for more than 40 years and will be supporting nurses in each of the schools.
"We have a full-time nurse in every one of the schools," she said. "I'll be supporting them in what they need to do, just watching and screening and making sure that students are safe and staff is safe."
NYSEG Brings Safer Power Option to the North Country
by Alex Ladstatter / Jan 16, 2021
(If you live anywhere from Peru and Ausable all the way to Plattsburgh, you might have heard construction on the powerlines. This is a part of NYSEG's Transmission Investment Program aiming to bring power to homes and businesses in a safer way. Corporate Communications Manager Ridge Harris says this project needed to be done.
"After several months of work, there's new transmission lines installed and upgraded, replacing poles dating back to the 1930's."
New York unions sue over paid coronavirus quarantine leave
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - The New York State Public Employees Federation (PEF) and the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association (NYSCOPBA) have both filed lawsuits regarding their members' access to paid coronavirus quarantine leave.
The PEF is suing three state agencies: the Department of Civil Service (DCS), the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) and the Office of Mental Health (OMH), claiming the state has "irrationally and improperly deprived union members of their guaranteed right to paid COVID-19 quarantine leave."

Q: Using Periodogram to investigate the seasonality of the data After asking how to get rid of the seasonality of this set of data, I'd like to ask how to investigate the seasonality in data using Mathematica.
Which tool would you use to study seasonality? I.e. to realize that the seasonality is weekly. Is the Periodogram (link) a valid tool? Can I use SARIMA?
I've extended the set of data.

ps: i've extended the range of data

A: First, paste your two columns of data copied from Google docs in Mathematica:
data = ImportString["Day\tTraffic
    1/12/2014\t3
    2/12/2014\t15
    .
    .
    .
    5/5/2015\t109
    6/5/2015\t282", "TSV"] // Rest;

Then convert the few 14s and 15s mingled between the 2014s and 2015s to full years, and convert to a TimeSeries:
dataTS =
  MapAt[
    DateList[{#, {"Day", "Month", "Year"}}] &,
    data,
    {All, 1}
  ] /. {{14, r__} :> {2014, r}, {15, r__} :> {2015, r}} // TimeSeries

Plot it:
dataTS // DateListPlot

Do a fit:
tsm = TimeSeriesModelFit[dataTS]

Examine the fitted model:
tsm["BestFit"]

SARIMAProcess[2.61293, {-0.244618, -0.233581}, 1, {}, {33, {-0.189394}, 1, {}}, 498.378]

To decipher this, you need the 5th and 1st syntax description (in V10):

The 5th syntax format says that the arguments list may start with a constant that may be omitted when it is zero. If it is present, the following parameters are used as in syntax formats 1-4. We need this part: {33, {-0.189394}, 1, {}}. This maps to:
.
So, Mathematica sees 33 days as the most appropriate model. However, this is not the end of the story. Since this is an optimization process in a multiple parameter space finding a global optimum is not guaranteed.
Checking the best candidate's AIC value systematically for periods of up to 35 days yields:
p = d = q = sp = sd = sq = s = Automatic;

TimeSeriesModelFit[dataTS, {"SARIMA", {{p, d, q}, {sp, sd, sq}, #}}][
    "AIC"] & /@ Range[35] // ListPlot

So, 31 days and 7 days are better candidates, and indeed you can see that (more or less) in the plot above.

A: Sjoerd's approach using SARIMAProcess and TimeSeriesModelFit, in particular the last portion with in which you test SARIMA models of differing orders and observe which models are particularly favoured by the AIC, is certainly a valid approach.
However, since you asked about periodograms and other spectral methods in your question, I thought I'd give an answer to show a few additional plots you could generate as part of your initial exploratory data analysis, before you proceed to model fitting.
Let's begin by reading in the data.  Since others have already shown you features like DateListPlot, I'm just going to grab the column with the day-by-day traffic counts
counts = Rest[Import["sampleTrafficData.csv"]][[All, 2]]

Now, because we're dealing with count data, we have a problem -- the variance of the measurements is not constant across our data.  So we need to apply some form of variance stabilizing transformation. There are a couple of possible choices, generally falling into families of square-root transforms and logarithmic transforms. For the purposes of this discussion, let's use the Anscombe transform:
anscombe = 2. Sqrt[counts + 3/8];
len = Length[anscombe];

Note that I've also converted to purely numerical data at this stage; this speeds up processing later.
One potentially useful diagnostic is the autocorrelation function:
DiscretePlot[CorrelationFunction[anscombe, i], {i, 0, 25},
   PlotRange -> {-0.25, 1.045}, Frame -> True, Axes -> True,
   GridLines -> {None, {{2/Sqrt[len], Dashed},
      0, {-2/Sqrt[len], Dashed}}},
   FrameLabel -> {"Lags", "Autocorrelation"}, ImageSize -> 500,
   BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

If we had independent and identically distributed measurement errors, we would expect almost all of the lagged autocorrelations to lie between the (approximate) 2$\sigma$ confidence bounds shown by the dashed gridlines.  Clearly this is not the case here. Each day's traffic is strongly correlated with the traffic from the previous day. (Since we haven't attempted to remove any trend from the data, we're also likely seeing some contamination from that as well.)  In addition, we can see some weak evidence for a regular pattern with period of 7 days -- although the autocorrelation is slowly decreasing at larger and larger lags, it rises to local maxima at lag 7, again at lag 14 (if you squint) and once more at lag 21.
A useful complement to the plot of the ACF is the partial autocorrelation function:
DiscretePlot[PartialCorrelationFunction[anscombe, i], {i, 1, 25},
   PlotRange -> {-0.3, 1.045}, Frame -> True, Axes -> True,
   GridLines -> {None, {{2/Sqrt[len], Dashed},
      0, {-2/Sqrt[len], Dashed}}},
   FrameLabel -> {"Lags", "Partial Autocorrelation"}, ImageSize -> 500,
   BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

The PACF tracks only that component of the autocorrelation not accounted for by earlier lags. In this case, we see that the autocorrelation at lag 1 is doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. If we were going to model this process as a purely autoregressive model, an AR(2) would be a good choice.
Other potentially interesting features lie at lags 7, 10, 16, but these should be interpreted with some caution. These partial autocorrelations are not particularly far outside the expected regime, and since we are dealing with 95% confidence intervals and making comparisons for 25 lags, we naively expect at least one "spurious" result in the mix.  Here your physical intuition should come into play -- with a daily sampling rate, a period of 7 suggests a weekly pattern.  Knowing what you do about your system, are there similarly compelling reasons to believe in a 10 or 16 day cycle?
Next up, we can take a look at the spectral density / FFT / periodogram:
Periodogram[anscombe, PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
   FrameLabel -> {"Frequency (1/days)", "dB"},
   GridLines -> {Range[1, 3]/7, None}, ImageSize -> 500,
   BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

In the above plot, I've added gridlines for frequencies of 1/7 days and the next two harmonics (2/7, 3/7).  With the gridlines to aid the eye, you could make an argument for a peak corresponding to a weekly period, but it does not exactly jump off the page. Unfortunately, the raw periodogram is a biased estimator, particularly when the dynamic range of the signal is large.
There are a couple of workarounds built into Mathematica to help reduce this issue, but they come at a cost.  One option is to compute the periodogram for a number of subsets of the data and then average these estimates together.  This helps reduce bias, but at the cost of resolution. For example, if we take average the results for the first and last halves of your data set, we obtain:
Periodogram[anscombe, Floor[len/2], PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
   FrameLabel -> {"Frequency (1/days)", "dB"},
   GridLines -> {Range[1, 3]/7, None}, ImageSize -> 500,
   BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

In this plot, it becomes easier to argue for a peak corresponding to a periodicity of 1/7 days, but the peak has also become broader, as we've sacrificed resolution to suppress bias.  There are no free lunches.
Alternatively, you can apply a smoothing filter on your data prior to computing the periodogram, such as the Blackman-Harris, using:
Periodogram[anscombe, len, len, BlackmanHarrisWindow, PlotRange->All, ... ]

Here we've again picked up slightly stronger evidence of a peak at 1/7 days, but without the broadening of the peak.  However, depending on the filtering method you choose, you're potentially washing out (destroying) other features in your dataset.  Still no free lunch.
Mathematica comes with a number of common data filters (or "windows") built-in.  Try out a couple of different choices in the above code snippet and see how your results change.
If you're really ambitious, you could try a slick combination of the above two techniques called multi-tapering. Unfortunately, this is not (yet) native functionality of Mathematica, so you'd have to roll your own.  If you're interested, in these and other techniques, you might want to check out the book by Percival and Walden.  (Their newer book on wavelet analysis for time series is also worth checking out.)
Sorry about the length. Hopefully you find this useful, and not too pedantic.

Appendix: Appeal Process for Appeals on Academic Standing for Undergraduate Medicine, Undergraduate Medical Laboratory Sciences, and Midwifery Programs in the Faculty of Medicine
This document establishes the appeal process for appeals on Academic Standing for students in undergraduate medicine; undergraduate medical laboratory sciences; and midwifery programs in the Faculty of Medicine. Every effort will be made to decide student appeals under this policy in a timely manner.
Initiating an Appeal
All appeals on academic standing for students in undergraduate medicine; undergraduate medical laboratory sciences; and midwifery programs in the Faculty of Medicine are made to the Dean. The student must forward a letter of appeal to the Dean identifying the decision under appeal and clearly setting out the grounds of appeal in accordance with this Policy. The letter of appeal must include any documents in support of the appeal that the student wishes to be considered. The student's letter of appeal must be received in the Dean's office within 10 days of the decision the student wishes to appeal.
The Dean, or delegate, will review the letter of appeal to determine whether the appeal is based on one of the grounds of appeal set out in this Policy. If the Dean, or delegate, determines that the appeal is not based on a ground of appeal set out in this policy then the Dean may dismiss the appeal.
If the Dean, or delegate, determines that the appeal is based on one of the permissible grounds of appeal set out in this Policy then the Dean will refer the appeal to a committee ("committee") which will be chaired by the Executive Associate Dean Education ("Chair") or designate.
Grounds for Appeal
A decision on academic standing reflects the assessment of faculty as to whether a student has met the academic standards of his or her undergraduate program. It is a decision determined through the exercise of academic judgment in the evaluation process utilized by the undergraduate program.
A student may appeal a decision on academic standing only on the following grounds:
The decision is inconsistent with the policies for evaluation and promotion adopted by the undergraduate program;
The decision did not take into account all relevant evidence or relied on irrelevant evidence;
The decision is based on an arbitrary or discriminatory exercise of academic judgment by the faculty or program.
In rare circumstances a student may appeal a decision on the basis of additional mitigating evidence that was not known to the student, and not available to the decision maker, at the time the decision was made.
A student may not appeal a decision solely on the basis that the student does not agree with the application of an evaluation or promotions policy or with the academic judgment of faculty.
The committee will notify the decision maker (e.g.: Chair of Student Promotions and Review Board, head of program or school) of the request for appeal and will provide the decision maker with a copy of the letter of appeal. The decision maker may be asked to provide a written response to the matters raised in the appeal. A copy of any written response provided by the decision maker will be provided to the student and the student will be allowed to respond either in writing or orally during the meeting with the committee.
The committee will review all materials relevant to the decision under appeal and the grounds of appeal including any applicable evaluation or promotions policies, the student's academic record, any applicable narrative assessments and any faculty committee minutes relevant to the decision under appeal.
The committee will schedule a meeting with the student to discuss the appeal and to attempt to resolve the dispute. At the discretion of the Chair the decision maker may also be invited to attend this meeting. Neither the student nor the decision maker will be represented by legal counsel at this meeting. However, the student may be accompanied by a support person. This meeting could be arranged through videoconferencing as appropriate.
Either before or during the meeting with the student the committee may request additional information, oral or written, related to the decision or the grounds of appeal. All such additional information will be shared with the student and the decision maker and they will be given an opportunity to respond to the additional information.
After consideration of all information relevant to the appeal the committee will make a recommendation to the Dean with respect to the disposition of the appeal based on a majority vote of the committee members who reviewed the appeal,
The decision and recommendation of the committee will be provided to the Dean in writing.
The committee may recommend that the decision be overturned, modified with specific directions or upheld as written.
Decision of the Dean
Upon receipt of the recommendation of the committee the Dean may request additional information from the student or the decision maker before making a final decision. Any additional information provided in response to a request from the Dean will be provided to the student or faculty and they will have an opportunity to respond to the information.
The Dean will make the final decision regarding the disposition of the appeal after consideration of the committee's recommendation and of any additional information provided in response to the Dean's request under the preceding paragraph.
The Dean will notify the student of the final decision in writing at the earliest opportunity.
A student may appeal the decision of the Dean to the Senate Committee on Academic Standing. Information on how to bring an appeal to the Senate Committee is available in the UBC calendar.
Student Academic Appeals Process Flow Diagrams
The following diagrams supplement the process described above.

Kavanaugh Confirmation Showdown
Senate panel meeting descends into chaos after Flake vows to vote for Kavanaugh

McConnell insists Senate will recover from Kavanaugh battle
The Senate Judiciary Committee's meeting to vote on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court descended into chaos Friday morning — with several Democrats storming out in anger.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Kamala Harris of California, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii left after a vote to subpoena Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge failed on party lines and the senators voted to schedule a 1:30 p.m. vote.
The dramatic scene unfolded shortly after Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, the committee's swing vote, announced he will back Kavanaugh — then was angrily confronted by protesters enraged by his decision.
As the meeting convened, Blumenthal moved to subpoena Judge, who Dr. Christine Blasey Ford said was in the room at the time that she was allegedly assaulted by Kavanaugh.
The motion was defeated, 11-10, and the panel quickly scheduled the vote for 1:30 p.m. The motion to schedule was approved 11-8, with Booker and Harris declining to vote in protest. They and the others then stormed out.
Harris tweeted: "Setting a vote on Kavanaugh less than 24 hours after yesterday's testimony shows what a sham this process has been. I just refused to vote and walked out."

SAINT-QUENTIN-en-YVELINES, France — Who would have thought that, after winning...
As the hearing convened without Harris, Hirono and Blumenthal, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the committee's top Democrat, said Kavanaugh's nomination was "a real test" for the Senate and the nation "to see how we treat women, especially women who are survivors of sexual assault."
She charged that 27 years after the Clarence Thomas hearings, Republicans appear to have a new strategy for handling sexual assault allegations.
"The Republican strategy is no longer 'attack the victim.' It is to ignore the victim," she said.
Feinstein said she was disappointed that the committee was set to vote on Kavanaugh's nomination less than a day after Ford's emotional testimony.
But South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who angrily defended Kavanaugh a day earlier, said Democrats want to upend the idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
"If the new standard for the committee is that there's no presumption of anything, that you have to prove why somebody would accuse you, not just say 'I didn't do it and here's why I didn't do it,' but you have to prove the motives of your accuser, God help us all," he said.
"It is the beginning of a process that will tear this country apart."
Senators from both parties then continued to lambaste one another in turn.
Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn lashed out at Feinstein.
"Our friend the ranking member said yesterday that the integrity of the Senate is on trial. I agree with that, and we're failing badly. Cruelty, recklessness, indecency toward the people we should be treating with respect and dignity," he said about Kavanaugh.
Whitehouse accused the majority of failing to fully investigate Ford's allegation, and of blocking an FBI probe.
"It's the least thing a sexual assault victim is entitled to when she comes forward. The FBI could interview all the attendees, not just to obtain simple denials but to cross-check and see if the stories add up," the Rhode Island Democrat said.
"The FBI could inquire after and pursue other corroborating or exculpatory evidence. It's what they do. Anybody who has done any serious investigation knows you don't stop just with witness statements of interested parties. You run down corroborating and impeaching evidence. You check and cross-check. You ask and go back again. You do the basic blocking and tackling of investigation," he said.
"We have run a botch of an investigation," he added, predicting that the truth of what Kavanaugh did or did not do would eventually come out.
Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar criticized Republicans and Kavanaugh's belligerent testimony the day before, when he alternately shouted and choked up while defending himself and attacking the committee's Democrats.
"I don't think we protected the innocent very well yesterday. And I certainly don't think that we're doing it today," she said.
"There was a lot of chest beating that went on yesterday on the other side, and it was pretty effective, I guess, if the goal was to distract the American public from what they had heard in the morning, to distract and deflect from the moving, powerful testimony we heard," an emotional Klobuchar continued.
"And I don't want to hear about respecting Dr. Ford when we are not giving her the respect of having an investigation of the case that she made to us yesterday."
She added that Kavanaugh had apologized to her for replying to her question about his reported heavy drinking by asking her if she had ever blacked out from drinking.
Earlier, Flake was cornered in a Senate elevator by protesters right after he announced his support for Kavanaugh.
"After hearing more than 30 hours of testimony from Judge Kavanaugh earlier this month, I was prepared to support his nomination based on his views of the law and order as a judge," the Arizona Republican said in a statement just before the confrontation.
"In fact, I commented at the time that had he been nominated in another era, he would have likely received 90+ votes," he said.
"When Dr. Ford's allegations against Judge Kavanaugh surfaced two weeks ago, I insisted that she be allowed to testify before the committee moved to a vote. Yesterday, we heard compelling testimony from Dr. Ford, as well as a persuasive response from Judge Kavanaugh. I wish that I could express the confidence that some of my colleagues have conveyed about what either did or did not happen in the early 1980s, but I left the hearing yesterday with as much doubt as certainty," he continued.
"What I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence. That's what binds us to the rule of law. While some may argue that a different standard should apply regarding the Senate's advice and consent responsibilities, I believe that the Constitution's provisions of fairness and due process apply here as well."
Friday's meeting came a day after Kavanaugh angrily denied Ford's allegations.
A chaotic protest later broke out at the Dirksen Senate Office Building down the hall from the committee hearing room, according to CNN. Demonstrators blew whistles in an apparent attempt to drown out the Capitol Police's instructions.
"November is coming!" they chanted as officers converged with plastic handcuffs.
Meanwhile, female House members, including New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney, twice made a commotion in the back of the hearing room by standing and staring down committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). They eventually filed out.
Also Friday, Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), who President Trump said could vote for Kavanaugh, announced that he would vote no.

TIP! Use your digital camera to take pictures of the property. Make certain your photos highlight specific defects such as carpet spots, wall holes and bathroom discolorations.
Investing in commercial real estate can be both favorably and unfavorable. You can make tons of money, but you can also suffer financial ruin. When you are shopping for a property, do your research before you buy, and get funding ahead of time. The following article will tell you all you need to know about commercial real estate.
TIP! You should try to understand the NOI metric. In order to be successful and stay profitable, watch this number closely, and take steps to make certain it does not fall into the negatives.
TIP! When advertising your available commercial property, do so locally, but also regionally and even nationally. Too many people assume that only the locals are interested in buying property in the area.
TIP! Using a checklist is useful when you have multiple properties that you are considering. Don't go any further than 1st round proposal responses, unless you let the owners of the property know.
Practice calm and patience when you are looking into the real estate market. Never rush into a particular investment. You are at risk of making poor decisions when rushing into things, and if your property investment does not work out, you will regret it. Stay patient; it could take a year or more for the perfect property to materialize.
TIP! There are real estate brokers who deal exclusively with commercial investments. Some agents will represent only the tenant while a full service broker will represent both parties.
Before you consider leasing or renting, look into whether or not pest control is covered in the lease. This is especially important if the region is known for certain types of pest infestations. If this is the case, ask specifically what the landlord will do with regard to pest control.
TIP! During the commercial loan process, the person who is the borrower will need to order the appraisal. The bank won't permit your use of it at a later date.
Do not approach commercial estate as an easy way to make money. You need to put in a tremendous effort, which involves a big initial investment and a lot of time, to give yourself the best chance of success. Sometimes even when you do everything right you still lose money.

Vikings >
The name 'Viking' comes from a language called 'Old Norse' and means 'a pirate raid'. People who went off raiding in longships were said to be going 'a-Viking'.
Britain was a good place to raid because its monasteries had many treasures in them to steal, such as gold coins and jewels. The Vikings weren't Christians and because the monks living in the monasteries had no weapons, they were easy targets.
The Vikings first invaded Britain in AD 793 when they attacked the monastery on Lindisfarne, a holy island on the north-east coast. A few years later they looted the the island of Iona (off the west coast of Scotland) and killed its monks.
The English called the Viking invaders 'Danes' even thought they came from other Scandinavian countries too.
Viking armies usually had between 1,000 and 2,000 men in them. They fought using long swords and axes. For protection, they had a round, wooden shield and wore helmets made of leather or iron.


Students at Tel Aviv's Habefezer School of Art and Advertising have declared war on ugly site defacements, repackaging and firing back Arab hackers' anti-Israeli protests with "gorgeous" webpages.
"Hackers, cheer up: If you can't fight them, Redesign them," is the message of the The Better Looking Hatred campaign, developed by McCann Digital Israel's VP of creative, Nir Refuah, copywriter Tal Schweiger, and art director Nir Hersztadt.
The students redesigned 50 defaced sites "!!!Own3d!!!" by Arab hackers, sent them back by email and through hacker forums and have made them available for use in future site defacements.
The design students reject the shoddy design work common to thousands of site defacements by non-Arab and Arab hackers alike that are archived by Zone H.
"All the hacker groups use the same ugly template in their replaced site designs: Black background, photos from Google, bad fonts and low resolution…. so we acted," Refuah explains on BuzzFeed.
The product the students sent back to the hackers were by contrast "gorgeous" and free to us. "We would like to end all cyber wars. but in the meantime - if you must hack our sites, at least leave something beautiful," was the message they sent Arab hackers.
None of the student's designs have been used yet in site defacements, according to a Business Insider report, which posted several more designs here. The Cannes Festival's Inspiration Room blog has also posted a number of the redesigns.
The student's message goes beyond defacements and calls for an end to "all cyber wars between Israel and Arab nations".
However, calling on citizen hackers to end all "cyber wars" might be a message more appropriately directed at governments that are investing in manpower to develop cyber weapons like the US and Israeli built Stuxnet.

Home » Business and Industry » Retail » Books-A-Million
Herbert J. "Jim" Lewis, Birmingham, Alabama
Birmingham-based Books-A-Million is a chain of book retailers has grown from a makeshift newsstand established in 1917 in Florence, Lauderdale County, into the third largest book retailer in the United States. There are at present 260 stores in 32 states in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Books-A-Million superstores offer a wide range of book titles, magazines, gifts, and other items; the smaller Bookland and Books & Company stores sell gifts and greeting cards in addition to books and magazines, and Joe Muggs Newsstands offer customers reading space in a café environment. The company's 2nd & Charles stores serve as a clearinghouse for used books, comics, games, and other materials. Additionally, the corporation has a book wholesale and distribution subsidiary, American Wholesale Book Company, an online book retailer, and an Internet services company known as NetCentral.
In 1917, 14-year-old Clyde W. Anderson of Florence dropped out of school and began delivering newspapers to help support his family after his father's death. Anderson soon learned of complaints from northern construction workers building nearby Wilson Dam that they could not get their hometown newspapers. Seizing a business opportunity, Anderson coordinated with northern newspaper publishers and the railroads to ship these papers to Florence, where he sold them from a crude newsstand built from piano crates. Within a few years, his profits allowed Anderson and his brother to invest in their first bookstore in downtown Florence.
Anderson's News Stand in Florence
Charles C. Anderson, Clyde's son, inherited the store in 1950 and began expanding it into a chain of bookstores that were incorporated under the name Bookland in 1964. In the 1970s, Bookland continued to expand into shopping malls that were springing up all over the Southeast. By 1980, the company boasted 50 stores, and Charles Anderson had also established a book and periodical distribution business. Charles's sons, Charles Jr. and Clyde B., began working in both the bookstores and the wholesale business. In 1988, Bookland acquired Gateway Books, a chain of stores based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and doubled the size of the company, but 27 of 50 stores were closed later because they were underperforming. Charles Anderson Jr. took the excess books and fixtures and opened the first of the company's superstores in 1988 in Huntsville. Although this first store was not a success, the company soon opened a 30,000-square-foot superstore near the same location under the name Books-A-Million. It was a success from the beginning and solidified the company's entry into the superstore format.
In 1992, the company officially changed its name to Books-A-Million, Inc., and went public on the NASDAQ exchange with an initial stock offering of 2.6 million shares at $13 per share. By 1993, Books-A-Million had 113 stores across the Southeast, including approximately 84 Bookland stores and 29 Books-A-Million superstores. Although the company continued to operate Bookland stores, the number of superstores rose and the number of smaller stores declined; there are still a number of them in existence, however.
To distinguish itself from its competitors, the company kept a regional focus by allowing its stores to initiate marketing campaigns for books of particular interest to customers in their local markets. For example, stores in Alabama have launched special campaigns for books on a successful season for the University of Alabama's football team and the death of a local NASCAR celebrity. In addition to special marketing campaigns, stores also began to feature book signings and readings, particularly of books by southern authors.
In 1998, Books-A-Million launched its own website, which offers the same products and discounts available in its retail outlets. In 1999, the company acquired NetCentral, a firm specializing in Web design and e-commerce solutions, and began operating a book wholesale and distribution subsidiary, American Wholesale Book Company. A majority of Books-A-Million retail outlets also contain a Joe Muggs Café, which the company expanded into a series of free-standing Joe Muggs Newsstands, featuring fireplaces, outdoor patios, and a full selection of specialty coffee drinks, pastries, and more than 3,500 magazine titles.
Books-A-Million remains one of Alabama's most successful businesses and a successful competitor on the national scene. In 2015, Clyde B. Anderson and his family purchased the company for $21 million from the other shareholders and returned it to private holding.

Drop-seq reveals new neuron type found only in primate brains
Posted by: RNA-Seq Blog in Commentary, Publications October 2, 2020	979 Views
Study finds key differences between human and lab animal brains, which could help scientists improve studies on neuropsychiatric disease.
Neuropsychiatric illnesses like schizophrenia and autism are a complex interplay of brain chemicals, environment, and genetics that requires careful study to understand the root causes. Scientists have traditionally relied on samples taken from mice and non-human primates to study how these diseases develop. But the question has lingered: are the brains of these subjects similar enough to humans to yield useful insights?
Now work from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is pointing towards an answer. In a study published in Nature, researchers from the Broad's Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research report several key differences in the brains of ferrets, mice, nonhuman primates, and humans, all focused on a type of neuron called interneurons. Most surprisingly, the team found a new type of interneuron only in primates, located in a part of the brain called the striatum, which is associated with Huntington's disease and potentially schizophrenia.
One of the tools the researchers used was Drop-seq, a high-throughput single nucleus RNA sequencing technique developed by McCarroll's lab, to classify the roles and locations of more than 184,000 telencephalic interneurons in the brains of ferrets, humans, macaques, marmosets, and mice. Using tissue from frozen samples, the team isolated the nuclei of interneurons from the cortex, the hippocampus, and the striatum, and profiled the RNA from the cells.
The researchers thought that because interneurons are found in all vertebrates, the cells would be relatively static from species to species.
"But with these sensitive measurements and a lot of data from the various species, we got a different picture about how lively interneurons are, in terms of the ways that evolution has tweaked their programs or their populations from one species to the next," said Krienen.

Also from Zoxell: These are the Voyages
Daniel Noah Shays is a human, born on Earth to a hard-working agriculturalist couple in the South Carolina back-country. Dan's father was a farmer, as was his father's father, going back hundreds of years. The world had moved past agriculture a long time ago. Having eliminated food shortages and hunger with the onset of replication technology, food growers on Earth were no longer necessary. This fact did not diminish the demand for fresh, organic vegetables, eggs, dairy, and meat, however.
Chapter 8.10 – Poetry
Luke stops reading when he hears Sandi's breathing slow to a soft, whispering snore.
Poetry is not his first choice of reading material. But he knows Sandi well enough to understand that reading it to her satisfies the hopeless romantic within. Luke gently picks Sandi up off of the sofa and carries her to the guest suite, then covers her with a silk and down comforter. If you had asked him yesterday about their future together, he would have told you there was no future. But the answer would be quite a bit different at this point in time.
Honestly, he'll very likely marry Sandi some day. But there are still a lot of things to figure out before then. For example, how in the world does he inform her that he does not need to sleep? Or that he never gets fatigued? She barely tolerates his religious beliefs. How does he begin to explain that there is an interdimensional being tagging along with him for the ride? Or that his family is being hunted by demons? Luke scoffs. Good luck with that.
Luke descends the stairs winding down to the ground floor. The cavernous, empty room at the bottom had been filled many times with people and memorable occasions. Many great times were had in this room, going all the way back to Mark. He stands at the center of the great hall, drawing upon the shared memories made available by the entity residing with him. His mother had decided to keep the estate empty after regaining their wealth, as a reminder of what she had lost. It may be a reminder for her. For everybody else, it is just simply a creepy, empty mansion.
This land is alive with the memories and the spirits of those who have lived here before you. It is a very special place. That is the reason why she sits here; very, very close to where we are now. But she is afraid, alone, and troubled. After giving so much of herself, she still pressed relentlessly forward. And even after it was over, she made a painful and selfless decision without hesitation. It was the right decision, mind you. But it was not an easy one. Now I fear for her state of mind. You may not be able to reach her physically, but you can still reach out to her; and comfort her.
Luke closes his eyes. He sees the same broken landscape he witnessed in his vision of the massacre when he was a child. He sees her, meditating on a small patch of broken earth. The voices have emerged again, masculine and powerful, singing to her and lifting her up from where she is sitting. Then, for the first time in what might be a hundred years, Kacey smiles.
It may have been an hour, maybe more. Luke finally opens his eyes to the soft, warm glow of another spirit. But he does not know who she is. She moves gently toward him and hugs him the way Grandma Faith used to. Luke steps back and asks who she is, and how she knew where to find Kacey.
The ghost performs a slight curtsy, then tells Luke that her name was Desiree McAllister. Luke recognises her voice immediately. Hers was the first voice he heard, the one telling him to listen and obey.
She was the last in a long line of McAllisters to live on this property. A fire at the cabin claimed her life (see Chapter 1.12 – Memories). Her husband was Corwin, and her son was Julian. She smiles a sad smile and regards Luke for a long time before speaking again. If a ghost could cry, Desiree would do so. Her voice waivers as she speaks in Luke's mind. The young woman everybody has been calling Kacey; her given name is Eva. Desiree explains how she gave birth to Eva moments after Julian was born. She knew, even before childbirth, that Eva was not going to be a human child.
Luke searches his shared memories, but can find nothing that supports this. He stammers and tells her he does not understand. Desiree smiles again. It is a warm smile that Luke likes a lot, as it reminds him of Grandma Faith.
Her ancestors, the original McAllisters, had settled this land and somehow discovered how important it was. They agreed to take on the responsibility of guardianship to a very special being. Her entire race had been slain, and she was the last of her kind. But at the same time, she was the first of her kind. Either way, she was the last hope her proud race had of one day returning.
Much like Luke, Desiree also discovered that she possessed incredible talents when she was a youth. But those talents vanished at the moment Julian was conceived. Luke detects a hint of bashfulness as she remembers. The act itself had been unforgettable. She had never before experienced such an overwhelming sensation, as the purified love she felt for Corwin.
And Corwin, who had long ago given himself to evil, experienced love for the first time in his life. But this was no ordinary expression of love. Something incredible and extraordinary was happening. It was as though they had been transported to a place were the concept of love was real and tangible. When it was finished, Eva had been delivered from the place of her metamorphosis and into this world; alongside Desiree's newly conceived child, Julian. The event had even touched Corwin's cold and feeble heart. And it began to change his life.
But it became clear that there are some things which simply cannot change. When Corwin came to understand what Eva represented, his lust for wealth and power returned. Desiree begged him to remember their special night. But it was no use. She had lost him.
She was forced to hide Eva from Corwin inside the family's luminorious mine. He considered the mine to be beneath his station, and had repeatedly refused to enter it. The decision was the most difficult and heart-breaking she'd ever had to make. But it was necessary to protect Eva from certain death.
Corwin was furious. He threatened her and Julian, and used every other method he could imagine to intimidate Desiree into disclosing Eva's location. Knowing her husband would be watching closely, Desiree could only manage to care for Eva while he was at work. She slipped into the hidden tunnels beneath Sunset Valley to visit the traumatized girl. Deirdre had learned to comfort Eva, and rock her to sleep singing an old, Irish lullaby. She did this so that she could leave without further traumatizing the the child. But to some degree, she did it so she could leave without further traumatizing herself.
This continued for a short few weeks until Desiree lost her life in the fire at the cabin. Eva remained, trapped in the cavern, being kept alive by an unearthly artifact the earliest McAllisters had hidden there centuries before.
Years later, when Julian was an adult, Corwin discovered where Desiree had hidden Eva. He was going to take her from the mine, and seize the land from Julian (see Chapter 1.18 – Debt). Desiree's expression falters and she gazes at the floor. She had no choice but to stop him. Sensing Desiree's difficulty, Luke finishes the story, using information he had learned from Reid.
While the questions are still fresh in his mind, Luke fires them off, giving Desiree little chance to answer them. Where is she now? How was I able to see her? Did she see us? Why didn't she age when Julian aged? Why is she still so young? Desiree laughs when his litany of questions is finished, then comments that there is somebody he should go and see. The visit will do him a world of good. As for Eva/Kacey; age and time are meaningless to her kind. She can appear any age she wishes to appear, and travel to any time and place she so desires. What she lacks is confidence, and the will to continue.
Desiree smiles that Grandma Faith smile again, then hugs Luke and wishes him goodbye. But he senses a twinge of sadness in her eyes. He asks if Corwin is going to cause any problems for him. Desiree rolls her eyes and smirks. Corwin forgets that he is dead. Desiree shakes her head and tells Luke that he has nothing to fear from Corwin. But he does need to be wary of the living.
Because when evil strikes, it will strike from a place and time he least expects.

Lunar Warrior says:
Aww wait! That means David was in love with his aunt! oh goshh
Ah, so Julian had a long lost twin sister. Twist
Kacey can practically live forever. Ooh, that also means she knows when the end of the world is! Because she can travel there. She can go to the beginnings of Earth and meddle. Having that kind of power is scary
zoxell says:
Seeing how Kacey isn't human, I think it's safe to assume she and David aren't related 😉

Designers Against AIDS - Do You Know The Big 8?
Home | Press | Do You Know The Big 8?
A research team has recently discovered a chemical that can stop the death of the brain tissue that causes Alzheimer's and could also potentially treat Parkinson's, Huntington's and other diseases that make the infected forget their own families. However, more research needs to be done in order to find a drug that can be safely taken by patients.
So how far has the medicine progressed in relation to the 8 most common and dangerous diseases?
Half a million people die from Influenza each year. This virus is in constant mutation and that means that a new vaccine has to be developed each time. The body of a Victorian diplomat who died during the 1918 flu and has been frozen in liquid nitrogen is now being studied for a possible light at the end of the tunnel. It is believed that modern medicine is very close to find a cure that could stop the disease forever with just one injection or spray.
At least there are vaccines for Meningitis A and C for now. The missing B type has been a lot tougher to fight and millions have been spent in order to find a cure. In January this year the drug Bexsero has been licensed but it hasn't been in use so far. Apparently countries don't trust its effectiveness yet and nobody wants to be the guinea pig.
Globally, as of 2010, 285 million people had diabetes. It is more common in the developed countries and all forms of this disease are treatable thanks to insulin becoming available in 1921. Researchers are trying hard to find ways to stop it within the next few years, but a healthy lifestyle and diet are key to prevent it - and also when under treatment.
Cardiovascular disease or CVDs are the number one cause of death globally. It has been suggested that the key to the cure is in regenerative medicine and that is now being studied as a first priority assignment in many hospitals and colleges. By the way, it's doesn't only happen to old people!
Medicine has achieved a 70% rate of survival on their patients 10 years after being diagnosed with the disease. It is one of the most common types of cancer in men and there is still no screening programme -or enough data to work with-, but funding has helped to achieve big advances over the last few years. Hopefully many more to come.
Being the most common cause of cancer death in women worldwide and with plenty of research done so far, scientists have come up with Herceptin, which had an effective treatment in 20% of the patients for now and could prevent two-thirds of the cases within the next 20 years.
This is one of the most common causes of cancer death in infants and older children. Survival rates have increased from 10% to 40% and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK has created a DNA database from 4,000 patients to find the best treatments.
Although it appeared 30 years ago and billions have been spent on its research, there still is no cure other than a cocktail of retroviral drugs that helps stop its spread. There have been a couple of extraordinary cases such as the baby born in March this years who was cured of HIV within two days of life, or the HIV-positive Timothy Ray Brown, who received a bone-marrow stem-cell transplant to treat leukaemia from an HIV immune donor and this was passed on to Browns, who was declared cured. But these are exceptions, so until a real cure has been found: wrap it up before you f*ck it up!

The comment (January 31st) by Simon Nixon, the Times's leader writer, that " Brexit was driven by a slick social media campaign that lured millions of voters with the prospect of an island fantasy" does not accord with the experience of many tens of thousands of Leave campaigners who knocked on doors, manned the street stalls, arranged and addressed public meetings, with the simple message that it was Britain's freedom to live under its own laws, and only those laws, which was the real issue.
The overall voting data also contradicts his assertion as to the role of social media in swinging the vote to the Leave side in the Referendum. The over 65s, who were the least likely to use social media, were the most likely to have voted "Leave", while the youngest demographic (18-25) was the most likely to use social media and the most likely to oppose "Leave", although only a third actually voted.
As for a lack of plans for post-Brexit, there were many: in 2013/14 the Institute of Economic Affairs ran a €100,000 international competition for the best Brexit Blueprint. From the shortlist of entries, six finalist essays were published and widely circulated in April 2014. The book "Britain's Referendum Decision and its Effects" published on May 9th 2016 with 268 pages, and available at http://stephenbush.net/ , lays out in Chapter 10, in appropriate detail, post-Brexit strategies for industry, energy, and immigration. Chapter 11 details the way the actual leaving negotiations should be conducted.
What nobody predicted was the Prime Minister's appointment of a civil servant with no professional experience of the EU or of trade matters, and to boot a past supporter of a Federal Europe, to lead the UK negotiations to separate the UK from the EU. Nor could any Leaver have foreseen that Mrs May would accept the EU's demands that the financial and other arrangements attached to Britain's leaving should all be legally settled before trade negotiations could even be started. Which, after two years, is where we stand now, with the crucial difference that in 8 weeks' time, Britain will be free to open negotiations with the EU as a completely independent country as Korea and Canada were when they concluded their respective trade agreements with the EU in 2011 and 2016 respectively.
A two-page Standstill Agreement by the EU and the UK to apply both the present zero tariffs to UK-EU trade, and the EU's common external tariffs to imports from non-EU countries, for a maximum of 12 months after March 29th, to allow enough time to finalise additional customs arrangements at the EU-UK entry points, is all that is required to maintain the present smooth flow of goods, and to open trade negotiations with the EU and separately with Australia. No continued UK membership of the EU's Customs Union would be necessary for this arrangement. The WTO would see the 12-month standstill period of zero tariffs between the UK and the EU as a reasonable exception to the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rule during the run-up to a full trade agreement (FTA) between the two parties.
