I'm A Celebrity's Rebecca Adlington bursts into tears after row with Matthew Wright
November 26, 2013 - 13:05 GMT hellomagazine.com Rebecca Adlington burst into tears on Monday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here following a row with fellow campmate Matthew Wright
Rebecca Adlington burst into tears on Monday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! following a row with fellow campmate Matthew Wright.
TV presenter Matthew snapped at Olympic champion Rebecca when he claimed she was interfering with his dinner-making process.
Reminding Matthew that Westlife's Kian Egan, who was in charge of dinner, wanted to keep the fire low so that their food wouldn't burn, Rebecca's words of advice were just enough to push Matthew over the edge.
"I know what I'm doing, stop telling me what to do," said Matthew, pointing a finger at Rebecca.
"There's small logs so it burns through them quickly and becomes charcoal. It will be fine, it won't burn.
"I know what Kian wants but I can't do it when every decision I make you undermine."
Matthew was quick to make amends when he saw he had upset teary-eyed Rebecca, putting his arm around her and kissing her forehead. The Wright Stuff star tried to cheer her up by remarking that he still smelt of rotting fish.
"I'm 24 and I don't like to be yelled at," Rebecca later told The Bush Telegraph. "I don't know how to handle it and I don't like it. I felt bad and got a bit teary eyed. I know not to say anything now and keep my mouth shut.
"Matthew is the type of person that is so outspoken he's very much willing to share his opinions and give you advice and he's not offended when you don't listen which is great."
Matthew later showed his support for Rebecca and stopped her from doing the washing up yet again, suggesting that model Amy Willerton and professional dancer Vincent Simone should do their turn.
Also in the episode, Rebecca is exempt from competing in a Bush Tucker Trial for a second time on the show, due to an unknown medical issue. Viewers quickly took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the swimmer's exclusion.
"So basically, Rebecca Adlington OBE, Olympic Gold Medalist can't do any bushtucker trial on "medical reasons" so why is she there? #imaceleb," wrote one user.
"@ITV We are told Rebecca Adlington is claustrophobic so what the hell is she doing in the jungle #cantplaythegame," posted another.

Marguerite Marie Broquedis-Billout (* 17. April 1893 in Pau; † 23. April 1983 in Orléans) war eine französische Tennisspielerin.

Biografie
Broquedis wurde in Pau geboren und zog mit ihrer Familie um die Jahrhundertwende nach Paris. Dort begann sie auf zwei staubigen Tennisplätzen, die zur Maschinenhalle Paris gehörten, das Tennisspielen. Später wurde sie Mitglied des Racing Club de France.

Sie gewann bei den Olympischen Spielen 1912 in Stockholm die Goldmedaille im Rasen-Dameneinzel, als sie im Finale Dora Köring besiegte. Dabei bediente sie sich einem kleinen Taktikmanöver, als sie bei eigenem Rückstand den Platz verließ, ihre Schuhe wechselte und damit ihre Gegnerin aus dem Rhythmus brachte. Das Feld war wegen der Abwesenheit der britischen Spielerinnen schwach besetzt. Im Rasen-Mixed gewann sie außerdem noch die Bronzemedaille an der Seite von Albert Canet. Dafür mussten sie nur ein Match gewinnen; das Spiel um Bronze gewannen sie aus Ermangelung von Gegner ebenfalls kampflos.

Bei den französischen Meisterschaften gewann sie 1913 und 1914 den Titel im Einzel. 1914 schlug sie dabei die 15-jährige Suzanne Lenglen. Das einzige komplette Einzelfinale, das Lenglen jeweils verlieren sollte. 1911 und 1924 gewann sie ebenfalls den Mixedwettbewerb, 1924 zudem das Damendoppel. Als die Meisterschaften ab 1925 auch für internationale Spieler geöffnet wurden, konnte sie mit dem Mixedwettbewerb 1927 an der Seite von Jean Borotra ihren einzigen richtigen Grand-Slam-Titel gewinnen. Bei den Wimbledon Championships nahm sie viermal – in den Jahren 1914, 1925, 1927 und 1928 – teil. Im Einzel erreichte sie 1925 mit dem Halbfinale ihr bestes Ergebnis. Im Doppel stand sie 1914 ebenfalls einmal im Halbfinale. In diesem Jahr kam sie mit Anthony Wilding zudem ins Mixed-Finale. Bei den Französischen Hallen-Meisterschaften gewann sie insgesamt 10 Titel, davon 6 im Einzel. 1912 gewann sie die Hartplatz-Weltmeisterschaften.

1924 nahm sie 12 Jahre nach dem ersten Mal wieder an den Olympischen Spielen teil, diesmal unter dem Namen Marguerite Billout, da sie geheiratet hatte. Im  Damendoppel konnte sie hier mit Yvonne Bourgeois nochmal das Halbfinale erreichen. Letztlich blieben sie aber dort und im Spiel um Platz 3 chancenlos.

Home Industry Updates Press Releases Siemens Healthineers Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for its SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody...
Siemens Healthineers Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for its SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody Test that Delivers Superior Clinical Performance
Siemens Healthineers announced the U.S. FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for its laboratory-based total antibody test to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies including IgM and IgG in blood. Test data demonstrated 100 percent sensitivity2 and 99.8 percent specificity. The total antibody test allows for identification of patients who have developed an adaptive immune response, which indicates recent infection or prior exposure. Testing can begin immediately with more than one million tests already shipped to health systems and laboratories.
A spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus enables the virus to penetrate and infect human cells found in multiple organs and blood vessels. The Siemens Healthineers Total Antibody COV2T assay was thoughtfully designed to detect antibodies to the spike protein. These antibodies are believed to neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus and therefore prevent infection. Multiple potential vaccines in development for SARS-CoV-2 include the spike protein within their focus.
"As a leader in laboratory diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers designed a high-quality, highly accurate antibody test with the capacity and reach necessary to help address a critical societal need," said Deepak Nath, PhD, President, Laboratory Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers. "The test targets both IgM and IgG antibodies, which allows for early identification of individuals infected with the virus who have developed an immune response, even if they were asymptomatic or never diagnosed with the disease."
About Antibody Test Specificity
Tests with high level of specificity yield low false positive rates, which is highly desirable especially when prevalence of disease is low. For example, a test with 99.8 percent specificity, in populations with low disease prevalence (e.g., 5 percent), will yield a positive predictive value (PPV) of 96.5 percent. In other words, 96.5 people in 100 testing positive will truly have antibodies. This number only goes up as the disease prevalence increases; for example, in communities with 10 percent of disease prevalence, this test would yield a PPV of 98.3 percent, meaning that 98.3 people in 100 people with positive tests results have antibodies. High-quality antibody testing is vital to accurately assess the prevalence of disease, which varies across the U.S.
"As one of the leading specialized laboratories, we recognized the critical need of our customers to have rapid and accurate testing to manage COVID-19 among their patients and staff," said Paul F. Beyer, CEO of Ascend Clinical. "The Siemens Healthineers total antibody test enables us to confidently deliver fast, reliable results that will be extremely valuable in the surveillance of the disease."
The total antibody test SARS-CoV-2 Total (COV2T)3 is available on the largest installed base of high-throughput analyzers, including the Atellica® IM immunoassay analyzers, which can run up to 440 tests per hour1 and enables a result in just 10 minutes. The test also is available on the company's expansive installed base of ADVIA Centaur® XP and XPT analyzers, which can test up to 240 samples per hour with a result in 18 minutes.
Comparable antibody tests4 for Siemens Healthineers Dimension Vista® and Dimension® EXL systems started shipping on May 29, further extending clinical reach across the company's 20,000 systems installed worldwide.
The tests were developed in the epicenter of the pandemic, are manufactured in Walpole, Mass. and Newark, Del., and are distributed from Plainfield, Indiana. The company is prepared to ramp up production as the pandemic evolves with capacity exceeding 50 million tests per month across its platforms starting in June.
About Siemens Healthineers Commitment to COVID-19 Testing
In addition to antibody and molecular SARS-CoV-2 tests, Siemens Healthineers offers a broad diagnostics portfolio to aid in the prognosis, treatment and follow up of COVID-19 patients. The company's broad and differentiated menu includes hematology, coagulation, cardiac, respiratory, inflammation and infectious disease panels. Blood gas and imaging solutions from Siemens Healthineers deliver actionable results that aid clinicians in caring for COVID-19 patients.
This project has been funded in whole or in part with Federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), Division of Research Innovation and Ventures under Contract No. 75A50120C00111.

New Organization Will Boost Democratic Efforts to Win Elected Seats in Seminole County.
By Orlando Political on	 January 13, 2021 Local Politics, Orlando Political News, Orlando Politics, Uncategorized
Seminole County, FL — Pasha Baker, the 2020 Democratic nominee for Florida House of Representatives 28 from Seminole County, announced the launch today of Seminole Forward – a truly local, grassroots political organization committed to flipping local and state elected offices blue in Seminole County – wherever those new district lines will be redrawn.
Baker is a businesswoman and the CEO of the Goldsboro West Side Community Historical Association. She previously won 45,288 votes in the November election – by far, the most of any past Democratic State House 28
nominee. The results have already positioned her as a leading candidate and public figure to watch in 2022.
Following the Democratic victories in Georgia of two U.S. Senate races, and the certification of President-elect
Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Democrats are more determined than ever to win local
races. "We are inspired by both the Democratic wins in Georgia, and by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris winning
Seminole County in November," said Baker. "That's why we're committed to expanding our operation and
reaching voters far ahead of the November 2022 election."
Seminole Forward's mission is to build early excitement for Democratic candidates who plan to focus their
efforts on reopening Florida's economy safely, creating jobs, and expanding professional career opportunities
like vocational training. The focus of the organization is on bringing greater economic opportunities to Seminole
County.

The object of the invention is an improved razor of the type in connection with which there is employed a magazine provided with means for ejecting a blade therefrom and for injecting the blade into shaving position in the razor, the construction being such that the parts that engage the blade and retain it in shaving position are resiliency brought into blade-clamping position.
More particularly, the object is an improved razor of the character above described, in which provision is made whereby when the aligning finger of a magazine injector is inserted in the aligning slot in the razor, the parts are partially separated to increase the height and width of the blade channel to permit easy entrance into and exit therefrom, and whereby upon withdrawal of the aligning finger they are resiliently brought together into blade-clamping relation.
A further object is a razor of the above described character in which a separate spring is made use of to resiliently draw the blade-clamping parts into blade-clamping position; and a further object is to install the spring in such a manner that the line of force through which it acts is composed of two components, one component drawing the clamping plate against a face of the blade and the other drawing the supporting plate for the blade-clamping plate against the back of a blade positioned in the blade channel and forcing it into proper shaving position with relation to the guard with which such razors are provided.
A further object is a razor of the character just described in which the tensional force of the spring is exerted in a plane that passes as near as possible through the line of application of the clamping pressure on the blade.
Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the razor head with parts broken away to more clearly show the construction.
Referring to the drawing more in detail, the razor comprises a conventional handle 10 into which is socketed the shank 11. The plate 12 for reinforcing the shank may be also socketed in the handle along with the shank, and in effect constitutes a part thereof, being united,to the shank by means of a rivet, the head of which is indicated by 13. The shank extends upwardly (with reference to the position shown in the drawing), as indicated at 14, and is turned over at 15 at approximately a right-angle bend to form the blade-supporting platform 16, which in turn terminates in a guard 17. At each end of the guard is positioned a stop, the two stops being indicated by the numerals 18, 18, which function along with the other parts, presently to be described, to definitely position the edge of a blade with reference to the guard.
A rear supporting plate 19 which is bent over to form the blade-clamping plate 20 is connected to the shank by means of a hook 21 struck out and formed from the material of the rear plate 19. The hook engages in the aperture 22 in the shank and the connection forms a very loose hinge, the function and mode of operation of which will be later described.
The degree of looseness of the hinge is preferably such as to permit the clamping plate and the supporting plate 19 to virtually float to a limited extent independently of each other and to take their own positions with relation to the blade-supporting platform and the shank 14. The purpose of this will become apparent when the mode of operation is described.
The clamping plate 20 and the blade-supporting platform 16 converge slightly in the direction of the guard, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the line of application of clamping pressure on the blade is offset from the median line of the blade slightly in the direction of the stops. The purpose of this is to firmly clamp the blade at the proper place for avoiding, so far as possible, all tendency to chatter when the implement is in use.
The clamping plate 20 and the blade-supporting platform 16 are resiliently urged toward each other, and also the rear plate 19 is resiliently urged toward the stops by means of the spring 23. This spring 23 is preferably in the form of a yoke and is enabled to perform its function by the fact that at its middle portion it is bowed over the part 24 which separates the two slots 25, 25, each half-length of the spring extending through one of these slots and thence through one of the slots 25a, 25a. It is preferable that the ends 26, 26 of the spring be tipped upwardly to form bearings to contact approximately in the vertex formed by the blade platform and the shank portion 14. The sense of the general plane of the force exerted by the spring (which is under tension at all times) is such, as will be observed, that, in effect, it has two components—one drawing the rear plate 19 toward the shank 14 and the other drawing the clamping plate 20 toward the blade platform. The floating connection between the rear plate 19 and the shank portion 14 permits such an action to take place unrestrictedly. Therefore, for example, the blade A (see Fig. 1) is clamped firmly between the clamping plate 20 and the blade platform 16 and is also thrust in the direction of the stops 18 until its edge abuts against them. It is to be assumed, as will be obvious, that in a razor head of given dimensions and amplitude of movement of parts, the blade is wide enough to prevent actual contact of the shoulder 27 with the shank portion 14 or the blade-supporting platform 16. Of course, as will be obvious, if it is desired to use blades of a given width, the dimensions of the component parts of the razor and the amplitudes of movement given them would be adjusted to a blade of the selected width.
It will be observed that between the rear plate 19 and the shank 14 is a slot 29, the width of which, when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the aligning finger 30 (see Figs. 2 and 3) of a magazine injector, and its height, which is determined by the spacing of the bent portions 31 and 32, is such that the aligning finger while in the slot is rigidly although not tightly retained against up and down play.
The magazine injector itself forms no part of the invention, although the invention is adapted to be used with it. It may be of an already well-known type now in extensive commercial use, an example of which is illustrated and described in the Rodrigues United States Patent No. 2,109,017 issued February 22, 1938.
It should be stated, however, with reference to the mode of operation that the aligning finger is provided with a cam 33 which projects sufficiently so that, when the finger is inserted in the slot 29, the clamping plate 20 and the rear supporting plate 19 are displaced as a unit away from the blade-supporting plate 16 and the shank portion 14—i. e., to the position shown in Fig. 2. The parts are so dimensioned and proportioned that the amount of displacement of the clamping plate 20 from the blade-supporting plate 16 is only such as to permit the blade A to be ejected with a slight frictional resistance; in fact, it may be more correctly stated that there preferably is no actual displacement of the clamping plate 20, but, on the contrary, merely release of tension.
In explaining how the motion just described takes place and what causes it, attention is directed to the hook 21 which projects through the slot 22 in the shank. Assuming the parts to be in the relative positions shown in Fig. 1 (i. e., with a blade clamped firmly in shaving position with its edges abutting the stops 18, 18 and pressed into contact by the tension of the spring 23 acting against the back of the blade through the shoulder 27), the insertion of the magazine finger first causes the rear plate 19 with its connected blade-clamping plate 20 to move bodily—i. e., with a translatory motion to the rear of the razor, or, referring to the drawing, to the right, as shown in Fig. 1. During a portion of this motion there is no substantial release of pressure of the blade-clamping plate 20 against the blade. However, as this motion progresses but before it is completed, the tip of the hook 21 contacts with the edge 34 of the aperture 22, and from then on until the completion of the motion, the rear plate 19 pivots on the edge 34, thus changing the translatory motion to rotary motion and causing the blade-clamping plate 20 to rise slightly. Pressure on the blade A is consequently relieved. As stated above, it is not necessary, and in fact it is not desirable that the blade-clamping plate 20 entirely part contact with the blade. It is sufficient that the spring tension be relieved enough to permit the blade A to be easily but not freely ejected. By thus retaining a slight pressure on the blade A after completion of the motion, enough friction is present to arrest an incoming blade in the position that it occupies on completion of the injection stroke of the magazine injector.
In order that the motion above described shall take place, it is desirable that the action of the aligning finger in separating the rear plate 19 from the shank 14 be gradual, and therefore a converging entrance for the aligning finger is provided by forming the struck-out portion 36 which tapers inwardly as it approaches its inner end. The cam 33 therefore first causes the rear plate 19 and blade-clamping plate 20 to move rearwardly with respect to the razor and then, when the tip of the hook 21 has contacted with the edge 34, a motion of rotation takes place, thus relieving pressure of the blade-clamping plate 20 on the blade.
A new blade may then be injected into the blade channel in the usual manner, the blade that is to be replaced being ejected from the blade channel in advance of it. The position just described is shown in Fig. 2. On withdrawal of the magazine injector aligning finger, the parts take the position shown in Fig. 1 by virtue of the stress exerted by the spring 23.

Colorado Department of Transportation workers picked up some pipes and industrial materials along Interstate 25 near U.S. Highway 34. They disposed of the materials at Fort Collins Street Operations near Vine Drive and Lemay Avenue, at which time they spotted something that resembled charges used in commercial detonators, said Kate Kimble, police spokeswoman.
City police officers and state hazardous materials personnel responded, and there was a brief discussion about bomb squad deployment. Upon further investigation, however, the items were deemed inert, meaning they had already been detonated, Kimble said.
Crews cleared the scene about 11 a.m.

Racist Attacks Against Pakistanis in Dublin Must Stop
11/15/2013 02/06/2015 Dr. Craig Considine
Source: TheJournal.ie
Racial harassment, discrimination, and violence against Pakistanis in Dublin has spiraled out of control. Last week, Al-Minnah Foods, a halal food store in Cookstown Industrial Estate, was ransacked at night. Images of the ransacking, which were posted on Facebook, show graffiti, including the words 'Pakis out' and 'Niggrs out', on white walls in the store. The owner of the store stated that the criminals 'destroyed everything', including food, fridges, and fittings. The burglars even stole the hard drive to the CCTV system so they could not be tracked.
This incident in Tallaght is the latest in an on-going string of attacks on Pakistanis in Ireland. In June 2013, for example, a Dublin teenager was spared a criminal conviction for his role in what the Irish Independent described as a 'vicious attack' on a Pakistani man, whose face was beaten with a metal pole and a rake (Irish Independent, 14 June 2013). The Dublin Children's Court, which heard the teenager's case, suspected the attack was a 'racially motivated incident'.
In a similar incident in April 2013, a 15-year-old Dublin boy was convicted of a violent robbery of a fast-food delivery Pakistani man. Judge John O'Connor at Dublin Children's Court described the event as a 'racially motivated' crime (Irish Independent, 17 April 2013). According to the Independent, the boy called the Pakistani man a 'bastard' and demanded that he hand over his money and phone. The Pakistani man 'was thinking they were going to kill me if I [did] not'. In a statement to the Gardai, the boy claimed that he did not have anything against 'foreigners', but also added that 'they all look the same to me'.
In January 2012, the Irish Times published an article about Dr Syed Kamra Haider Bukhari, a Pakistani psychologist working in Ireland, who claimed to be racially abused and physically assaulted by a women in a County Louth nightclub (Irish Times, 4 January 2012). Dr Bukhari claimed that security men at the door of the club laughed at him when he complained. Bukhari told the Irish Times: 'I think and feel like I have no rights in this so-called civilized world, when I am putting my heart and soul into my work and serving this nation'. He added that the incident at the nightclub was not the first time he was racially abused in Ireland.
These are not random, isolated incidents. My own Ph.D. research in the Department of Sociology at Trinity College has uncovered many cases of racism amongst first- and second-generation Pakistani men.
Based in interviews and participant observation, I have found that many of the participants claimed to have been physically abused, harassed, and discriminated against whilst walking down the street, searching for employment, and in acquiring Irish citizenship.
The Irish are known worldwide for their warmth, generosity, and hospitality. I have witnessed this hospitality first hand not only in Dublin, but around the entire island. However, there seems to be a growing trend of racial harassment, discrimination, and violence against Pakistanis. Let us all strive to make these assumptions about the Irish a reality here in Ireland by standing up and putting a stop to racism.

KINDRED SPIRITS ❤.
The persecution & internment of the Uyghurs amount to crimes against humanity. I will be moderating this discussion w/ leaders of the Uyghur community in Houston, TX.  🆓: Open to the general public 📍: Rice University, Sewall Hall 309 🗓: January 23rd, 2020 🕰: 4:00PM - 5:15PM
Recognize beauty for its own sake.
The interaction between Muslim refugees & the Christian King of Abyssinia in 615 is powerful. The King clearly embraces the links between Christianity/Islam. He states: "The difference between us and you is no bigger than this line." And more importantly, he protects the Muslims from imminent danger. The King tells some of the leaders of the Quraysh, the enemies of the Muslims: "Not for a mountain of gold would I give them up to you." This is a clip from "The Message," a wonderful movie that came out in 1976.
Embrace it all.
Appreciate the similarities. Respect the differences.
I am happy and honored to participate in this dialogue event with the inspirational role model @daliamogahed. We are exploring the contributions made by Muslims to the USA since it's founding. I will be sharing my own views on how Muslims, the Islamic faith, and Prophet Muhammad's teachings have impacted my spiritual journey. Will you be in the Bay Area (Pleasanton, to be exact) for this Hub Foundation talk on January 26th?
I ❤ when this happens.
Prophet Muhammad encouraged *racial equality* until his last breath. "An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except in piety & good action." - The Final Sermon. Watch the full @emirsteincenter video by clicking on the link in my bio.
All humanity is☝🏻.
"The difference between us & you is no bigger than this line," said the Christian King of Abyssinia to Muslim refugees from Mecca, who had just explained the Qur'an's position on Jesus & Mary. Prophet Muhammad taught his followers well, and the Christians of Abyssinia recognized that. I will be shedding light on this story & others on February 9th at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Looking forward to hearing the perspectives of U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib & Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini. The event is free & open to the public. Will you be there?
It's nothing but RESPECT.
Don't just tell me. Show me.
A lesson for our time.
To the powers of the world - take heed of these teachings.
The commandment is clear: embrace difference & show kindness.
"... a refuge of ☮."
*Prophet Muhammad* is the common thread running through my most popular tweets of 2019. It is good to see people interested in one of the most important humans ever to walk the face of the earth. Let us all - Muslim/Christians/Jews, etc. - live up to his legacy in 2020 & beyond.

- An interesting race
OUR OWN OPINION
By Dan Wehmer Webster County Citizen citizen@webstercountycitizen.com
As the nation remained subdued with impeachment chatter from Washington, D.C., an interesting race officially developed in Missouri's 33rd Senate District, which includes Webster County.
Thursday morning, we received a news release from Karla Eslinger, currently a state representative for District 155, who resides in Ozark County. A Republican, she's entering the race for the 33rd, a seat currently held by Webster County's own Mike Cunningham, R-Rogersville, who completes his second four-year term of office next year.
Eslinger's appearance in the upcoming 2020 race brings, by our count, the candidate total to three for Cunningham's seat. First to announce his filing was Van Kelly, R-Norwood, a former state representative for Douglas and Wright counties. Next to join the field was Robert Ross, R-Yukon, a current state representative from Texas County.
The race looks eerily familiar to the one in 2012, when Cunningham was joined in the field by a pair of state representatives from Howell and Texas counties, respectively, Don Wells and Ward Franz.
In a highly competitive Republican primary election that summer, Cunningham emerged the winner after securing a majority of the vote in all but two of the district's eight counties.
Here in Webster County, we've been spoiled when in comes to representation in the Missouri Senate over the past two decades.
For eight years, we had Dan Clemens, who was from Webster County. For four years, our representative was Jay Wasson, whose staff leader was Cunningham.
After redistricting, Cunningham has held the post ever since.
As a result, Webster County has had simply stellar representation in the state senate. That's been evident in southern Webster County and Seymour, which has benefitted from legislation authored by the two "Cs" — Clemens and Cunningham. As our county consistently has been among the state's 10 fastest-growing counties over the past two decades, our county's representation in the Missouri Senate also has been on the rise, with our voice heard as state government distributes its annual billions.
Looking ahead, it's a blessing that three experienced public servants has stepped up, seeking to fill Cunningham's shoes when term limits force his retirement at this time next year.
Eslinger, Kelly and Ross all have seen the seedy nature of the scene in Jefferson City from their previous service in the state legislature. All have waded through the swamp of lobbyists and special interests, navigating those waters in the best interests of their constituents.
None are lawyers. That's a good thing.
Eslinger is a former school superintendent. Her track record as the leader of nearby school districts in Ava and West Plains is stellar. Raised in Theodosia and now a resident of Wasola in rural Douglas County, she and her husband also own a small business.
Kelly's service in the Missouri House of Representatives ended nearly a decade ago. In the interim, he's wore several hats, so to speak, including his service running Camp Joy, a summer Christian camp for children. His father, Garnett, was a longtime state representative from Douglas County. His family's legacy is a constant stream of successful businesses of all sizes.
By trade, Ross is a surveyor. A native of Summersville on the border of Shannon and Texas counties, he's also a successful owner of a small business that specializes in shooting. In the Missouri House of Representatives, he's served as chairman of several committees and sponsored lots of legislation since fi rst being elected in 2012.
The two largest counties in the 33rd District are Howell and Webster.
Unlike eight years ago, technically neither county has a candidate.
Eslinger will fare well in Howell County, where she served county seat West Plains as its school superintendent. We'll expect her to also do well in Douglas and Ozark counties.
Ross should do the same in Texas and Shannon counties, which is his stomping ground. Kelly, recently removed from the election cycle, likely will be strongest in Wright County. He also should grab votes in Douglas and Texas counties.
Counties up for grabs include Oregon, Ripley and, yes, our own Webster. Considering the population of Webster County is more than the combined total of the two aforementioned counties, the winner of Webster likely wins the race, should one candidate fare especially strong here.
To that end, all three candidates would be well advised by their handlers to invest time here in Webster County, where the vote is pretty much evenly split north and south of the James River.
There are two key corridors along two four-lane highways. The first is along Interstate 44 and based in Marshfield. The second is along U.S. 60 and includes the communities of Diggins, Fordland, Rogersville and Seymour.
Pay attention, Webster Countians, to the time spent here by all three. Converse when they come; listen to what they say. One of the three will be your new state senator, a new face in a powerful body of only 34 members.
It will be interesting to see if Cunningham supports one of the three. If so, that will give one a key edge to Webster County's vote, a county with nearly 22,000 registered voters.

Weekly Express-News Article
By Calvin R. Finch, PhD, SAWS Water Resources Director, and Horticulturist
"Educational Events and Good Causes Related to Gardening"
You know it is gardening season when a number of events on related topics come up on the schedule. Here are some major events to consider.
On March 1st, the second annual Wilson County Gardening Day takes place from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., on the parking lot on Hwy. 181 and Hwy. 97 in front of the Floresville ISD Offices and adjacent to the Chamber of Commerce offices. Jerry Parsons, Milton Glueck and I will be there to do the Gardening South Texas Radio show along with other attractions. Despite what Dr. Parsons says about gardening in Wilson County, last year's event proved that area gardens grow more than sandburs and gophers! Every adult attendee will receive a three-inch xeriscape plant and a Landscape Care Guide from SAWS. Every adult will also receive a $5 gift certificate for the Alternative School Plant Sale that begins March 10th. In addition to Dr. Parsons and me to answer gardening questions, there will be community and horticultural exhibits of many kinds and plant sales. The Wilson County Gardening Day is an educational event designed to improve the attendee's gardening success, but it also is an event to recognize and support the horticultural activities of the Alternative school. Young people from Floresville, Nixon-Smiley, Poth, Falls City, La Vernia, and Stockdale School Districts who have not had success in the traditional school setting have the opportunity to pursue their high school studies built around a horticultural curriculum.
Two weeks after the Wilson County Gardening Day on March 15th, SAWS will sponsor the annual Spring Bloom Giveaway at the headquarters at 2800 US Hwy., 281 North from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event will include exhibits and information booths of many kinds and a free blooming xeriscape plant will be available for every adult that attends. In 2008, it is hoped that you will be able to select from salvias, lantanas, and society garlic. The major attraction of this event, however, are the presentations. I lead off the program at 9:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m., speaking on "Helpful Hints for Healthy Grass." Jerry Parsons begins his presentation at 9:30 a.m., on "Texas Superstars." Paul Cox speaks at 10:30 a.m., on "Tough Plants for Tough Times and Malcolm Beck speaks at 11`:30 a.m., on "Ways to Prevent Drought Damage." Other speakers will also cover the topic of drought proofing your landscape.
The Mitchell Lake Audubon Birdathon is not until May 3rd, but the nature of the event requires time for preparation. A Birdathon is like a walkathon or a bikathon, but instead of seeking pledges per mile walked or rode, the participants collect pledges per species of bird spotted at the refuge.
In 2007, the team that included me, Milton Glueck, Jerry Parsons, and Jane Tourney-Davis racked up 81 birds. The pledges including Milberger's pledge to match all other pledges earned the Audubon Center $2,000. All of the participants in 2007 raised a total of $10,000 that was used towards the youth education and bird habitat programs.
There are several ways you can participate in the 2008 Audubon Birdathon pledge $.25, $1, or $2 per bird to a birding team (Parsons, Glueck, and I would welcome your pledge) or form your own team. To learn more about the Center and/or your Birdathon participation, contact Susan Albert at the Audubon Center at (210)628-1639.
The Audubon Center is one-half mile South of Interstate 410 on Moursund Boulevard. The Center includes 1,200 acres of wildlife habitat including Mitchell Lake and seven ponds. White pelicans, roseate spoonbills, black-necked stills, and other shorebirds are the main attraction, but vermillion flycatchers, scissor-tailed fly catchers, shrikes, and many other species are also common. A total of over 300 bird species have been observed on the Center. The hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., on Saturday and Sundays. Call (210) 628-1639 for access on weekdays.
In addition to the bird watching, Mitchell Lake has one of the best native plant gardens in our area. Patty Leslie Pasteur, Charles Bartlett, and others did a great job planning the garden to show off the potential of native plants in a landscape.


We lost a dear friend….
Betty recently passed away peacefully, with her family surrounding her. She was a long time client and an incredibly close friend of Sensible Fitness. Over the past years Betty embraced new adventures like zip-lining, and target shooting, but said "no way" to skydiving (boy, did I try though!). She was 87 and remained dedicated to staying strong and maximizing her quality of life. She was loved by all, and will be missed terribly.


If an individual is not conversant with the technology, dental implants can sound more like science fiction. As a layman would phrase it, "a dental implant is a fake tooth that your dentist gives you after putting a screw into your gum. You can then brush the fake tooth as if it were a real, and people will never notice its fake." If you find this definition overwhelming, then you are in the right place because we are going to demystify the mystery around dental implants.
A dental implant is a metal post or frame that are surgically positioned into your jawbone beneath your gum. Once in position, the dental implant allows your dentist to mount a replacement tooth on to it.
A dental implant provides stable support for your artificial tooth since the implant is infused into your jawbone. The dentures and bridges mounted onto an implant will not shift or move in your mouth especially when eating or speaking. The secure fit, therefore, supports the dentures and bridge while also supporting the individual crowns that are placed over the implant, thereby providing a more natural feel when compared to conventional dentures or bridges.
An Endosteal dental implant is the most common type of dental implant and is used by dentists to Performa dental implant procedure that is done in two stages. An Endosteal implant often takes the shape of a little screw and is made of titanium. Your dentist will perform a minor surgery during which the implant will be placed into your jawbone. A temporary tooth will then be placed on top of the implant so that you leave your dentist's office smiling.
After considerable time (weeks, and in some instances a few months), your mouth will be left to heal. During this time, you will be visiting your dentist for periodic checks so that your progress can be measured. A minor surgical procedure will be done after you are done healing. The second surgery allows the attaching of the abutment and the permanent crown. The Endosteal dental implant is common among patients with healthy jawbones. Besides, patients who consent to bone grafting procedures for jaw augmentation can opt for this type of implant.
In place of the tiny metal screws used in Endosteal implants, the Subperiosteal dental implant uses a metal framework. The metal framework is placed above your jawbone instead of being placed into it. Instead of having your dental implant placed below your gum and hiding its visibility, the Subperiosteal dental implant is left exposed so that it can hold your bridge and crown. The Subperiosteal Implant is a common procedure among individuals who lack healthy jawbones, or those who have declined to have a jaw grafting procedure.
Unlike the Endosteal dental implant that involves a two-stage procedure, a Subperiosteal dental implant takes place as a single-stage procedure. A second surgery is not required to expose the implant as the abutment is easily placed when your mouth heals properly. Individuals who opt to anchor a complete set of dentures instead of getting typical dental implants are advised to go for this type of dental implant.
The only way you can determine the perfect implant option to opt for is by visiting a board-certified dentist who has a specialty in dental Implant.
During your appointment, the dentist will examine your unique situation, after which an assessment will be made. If you are a good candidate for a dental implant procedure, the dentist will advise you on the best option to undergo while taking account of what works best for you.

Q: Powershell - compare files and content I need to compare the content of files on 2 different machines. There are around 50 files in the folder on each PC. So far I have done this:
compare (gc \\PC1\d$\Data\Config\*) (gc \\PC2\d$\Data\Config\*) | Out-GridView

and it works fine, but in that way I can't see in which file the difference exist. So I need the filename in the result.

A: If files under folder "...\Config" are same .
You may need to compare with each file :
Edited:
Get-ChildItem \\PC1\d$\Data\Config\* | %{$path1 = "\\PC1\d$\Data\Config\$($_.name)" ;$path2 = "\\PC2\d$\Data\Config\$($_.name)" ; $dif = compare (gc $path1) (gc $path2);if ($dif) {$_.name;$dif}}

Amazon (US) seems to think that the vinyl version of "Workbook" contains the live set as well as the album tracks. Does anybody know if that's correct?
I love the cover for Black Love. The photo, the font, the title – everything! Fun fact: I've never actually heard anything off that release, go figure.
Sadly it looks like Amazon is wrong in listing all the tracks for vinyl. From the official record site: http://omnivorerecordings.com/bob-mould/

Really excited about the new Woodentops record, it sounds like they haven't lost any of the magic from their heyday, a truly underrated band!

In August of 2018 I travel to Yap, of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), for my new assignment. Yap is an island 13 miles long, located 1,000 miles east of the Philippines, with a population of 11,000, half of whom are Catholic. I will work at Yap Catholic High School, and also give pastoral support to the two parishes on the island. The native language there is Yapese, but the official language of the FSM is
English (so no, I will not be leaning Yapese!). The students of the high school learn in English.
Micronesia was first evangelized in the 17th C. by Spanish Jesuits, who labored there for about 100 yr.
During that time, 15 Jesuits were martyred (not an issue today!). Jesuits returned to the islands in the
early 20th C., and 15 Jesuits are currently working there. Our Jesuit mission to Micronesia reflects St.
Ignatius' determination to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission, "You are to be my witnesses, even to the ends of the earth" (Mk 16:15). Impressively, within only 10 yr. of founding the Jesuits, Ignatius had sent men to lands as far away as India, Japan, and South America. His Constitutions in fact stipulate, "In sending persons, one ought to select that part of the vineyard which lacks other workers" (Cons. [622]). I am grateful that God (through my superiors) has allowed me to witness for seven years here in Salem, and I am grateful that God is choosing me now to witness "to the ends of the earth."
Yap Visitors Bureau


Ralph Fitch, (born c. 1550—died c. Oct. 4, 1611, London, Eng.), merchant who was among the first Englishmen to travel through India and Southeast Asia.
In February 1583, together with John Newberry, John Eldred, William Leedes, and James Story, Fitch embarked in the Tiger and reached Syria in late April. (Act I, scene 3 of William Shakespeare's Macbeth alludes to the trip.) From Aleppo (Syria), they went overland to the Euphrates, which they descended to Al-Fallūjah, now in Iraq, and from there crossed over to Baghdad and sailed down the Tigris to Basra (May–July 1583). Eldred remained, but Fitch and the others sailed down the Persian Gulf to the trading centre of Hormuz, where they were arrested at the instigation of Venetian merchants and transported to the island of Goa in Portuguese India. They were jailed until they were released on bond provided by two Jesuits.
Story chose to remain in Goa, but in April 1584 Fitch, Newberry, and Leedes escaped and began their journey across India. They visited the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar at Fatehpur Sīkri, near Āgra, in north-central India, where Leedes settled as court jeweler. Newberry began a return journey to England, but he is believed to have died in India.
Fitch descended the Yamuna and Ganges rivers and visited Vārānasi (Benares) and Patna. By land he traveled to Cooch Behār at the base of the Himalayas, where he possibly hoped to learn of Tibetan trade across the mountains. After traveling through East Bengal, he sailed for Myanmar (Burma) in November 1586. He visited the Yangon (Rangoon) region; sailed up the Irrawaddy River; stopped at Pegu, fabled for its splendour; and ventured into the Siamese Shan states, now in Myanmar (1586–87).
Early in 1588 Fitch traveled to the Malay Peninsula and visited Malacca, now in Malaysia, where he learned much about trade with China and the Spice Islands, now the Moluccas. In the spring he began his journey homeward, reaching London on April 29, 1591. Fitch's eyewitness reports on all that he saw were greatly valued by the founders of the East India Company, who consulted him on Indian affairs.

It Is Unspeakable': How Maduro Used Cuban Doctors to Coerce Venezuela Voters
Yansnier Arias knew it was wrong. It violated the Constitution, not to mention the oath he took as a doctor in Cuba.
He had been sent to Venezuela by the Cuban government, one of thousands of doctors deployed to shore up ties between the two allies and alleviate Venezuela's collapsing medical system.
But with President Nicolás Maduro's re-election on the line, not everyone was allowed to be treated, Dr. Arias said.
A 65-year-old patient with heart failure entered his clinic — and urgently needed oxygen, he said. The tanks sat in another room at the ready, he recalled.
But he said his Cuban and Venezuelan superiors told him to use the oxygen as a political weapon instead: Not for medical emergencies that day, but to be doled out closer to the election, part of a national strategy to compel patients to vote for the government.
May 20, 2018, was nearing, he said, and the message was clear: Mr. Maduro needed to win, at any cost.
"There was oxygen, but they didn't let me use it," said Dr. Arias, who defected from the Cuban government's medical program late last year and now lives in Chile. "We had to leave it for the election."
To maintain their hold over Venezuela, Mr. Maduro and his supporters have often used the nation's economic collapse to their advantage, dangling food before hungry voters, promising extra subsidies if he won, and demanding that people present identification cards tied to government rations when they came to the polls.
But participants in the schemes say Mr. Maduro and his supporters have deployed another tool as well: Cuba's international medical corps.
n interviews, 16 members of Cuba's medical missions to Venezuela — a signature element of relations between the two countries — described a system of deliberate political manipulation in which their services were wielded to secure votes for the governing Socialist Party, often through coercion.
Many tactics were used, they said, from simple reminders to vote for the government to denying treatment for opposition supporters with life-threatening ailments.
The Cuban doctors said they were ordered to go door-to-door in impoverished neighborhoods, offering medicine and warning residents that they would be cut off from medical services if they did not vote for Mr. Maduro or his candidates.
Many said their superiors directed them to issue the same threats during closed-door consultations with patients seeking treatment for chronic diseases.
One former Cuban supervisor said that she and other foreign medical workers were given counterfeit identification cards to vote in an election. Another doctor said she and others were told to give precise voting instructions to elderly patients, whose infirmities made them particularly easy to manipulate.
"These are the kinds of things you should never do in your life," said the doctor. Like several others, she spoke on the condition of anonymity because she and her relatives could face retaliation by the Cuban or Venezuelan authorities.

How Trump Betrays 'Forgotten' Americans
From the Supreme Court to labor organizing rules, the president undermines workers' greatest champions.
Donald Trump promotes himself as a friend of "forgotten" workers, but in ways large and small his administration has undermined what has traditionally been the biggest champion of workers: labor unions.
Most recently, he used his authority as president to deliver a harsh Labor Day message to the 2.1 million people who work for him, canceling pay raises for the civilian employees of the federal government. In May, he issued three executive orders to weaken federal employees' unions by, among other things, limiting the subjects they can bargain over. (On Aug. 25, a judge ruled that this move violated federal law.) In March 2017, Mr. Trump signed a law repealing an executive order signed by President Obama that sought to keep the federal government from awarding contracts to companies that violate laws protecting workers' right to unionize, as well as wage and job safety laws.
Since taking office, Mr. Trump has installed a conservative majority on the National Labor Relations Board that has moved quickly to make it harder for unions to organize. Last December, the board overturned a rule, beloved by unions, that made it easier to organize smaller units of workers in big factories and stores. In another board decision, his appointees made it tougher for workers at fast-food restaurants and other franchised operations to unionize, although that "joint employer" ruling was vacated when a labor board member later recused himself because of a conflict of interest. The board is also looking to slow down unionization elections, a move that unions oppose because it would give corporations more time to pressure workers to vote against unionizing.
Mr. Trump's first nominee to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, was the deciding vote in a case that delivered this year's biggest blow to workers. In Janus v. AFSCME, the court's conservative majority, in a 5-to-4 vote, ruled in June that government employees can't be required to pay any fees to the unions that bargain for them. By allowing many government workers to become "free riders," that ruling is expected to chop revenues to many public employee unions by one-tenth to one-third.
