Panthers' Rowe says youth contributed to 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh
By Matthew DeFranks
| SUNRISE
Panthers coach Tom Rowe discusses his team's youth in a performance against Pittsburgh, plus upcoming lineup changes.
The Panthers' youth was a driving force behind their unexpected rise through the Eastern Conference a season ago. It offered optimism entering this season that Florida would not be a one-year wonder.
But might it be affecting Florida against seasoned teams such as Pittsburgh, which drubbed the Panthers 5-1 on Thursday night?
"I thought we sat back a little bit too much," Panthers interim coach Tom Rowe said after Friday's practice. "We're just trying to get some consistency there. I'm not worried about the veterans, they know how to handle that. It's just teaching some of the younger guys [that] when you're playing a team like Pittsburgh, you can't change your game.
"You can't show them too much respect. You just got to go out and play and pressure the puck like we have been."
Rowe pointed to players like Aleksander Barkov (21 years old), Aaron Ekblad (20) and Denis Malgin (19) as players still figuring out the NHL.

"Believe me, every day I come in here and I look at Barkov and look at his age," Rowe said. "Malgin's only a 19-year-old kid. Even Ekblad's still a young guy. … They do a great job, obviously they're elite-level players. But because of their youth, there are still some things that they need to learn as well."
Last year, 43-year-old Jaromir Jagr and 32-year-old Jussi Jokinen led the Panthers in scoring, but were followed by six players younger than 25. The Panthers finished with a franchise-best 103 point last season.
This season, just two of Florida's top eight scorers are younger than 25. The loss to the Penguins extended the Panthers' winless streak to four games, the longest stretch of the season so far.
"[Thursday] night was just one of those nights I'm sure we're not going to be repeating [Saturday] against Vancouver," Rowe said.
Line shifting
Third-year forward Seth Griffith will jump to the top line alongside Barkov and Jagr, Rowe said. Griffith, claimed off waivers from Toronto last month, has spent time on Florida's third and fourth lines.

"[We want him to] use his skill, use his speed," Rowe said. "He's got real good hands and we figured we'd put him with Barkov and Jagr. I talked to both Barkov and Jagr about it and they were very excited about playing with him because they know he has a good skillset. We just want to give him an opportunity there to see what he can do in the top six [forwards]."
Griffith has one assist in nine games as a Panther. He has 12 career points.

With Griffith joining the top line, Reilly Smith will rejoin linemates Vincent Trocheck and Jussi Jokinen on the second line, Rowe said. The trio spent much of last season together, but was split up for the past three games.
"Yeah, we're going to get them back together," Rowe said. "We want to give Griffith an opportunity with Barkov and Jagr. Give him a look up there. He's still a kid and we want to see what he can do with those guys."
• The Panthers hosted 3,400 local elementary and middle school students before Friday's practice for a panel addressing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math jobs in sports. It was the largest panel in the NHL this season.

Multimodal machine learning in healthcare aids patient consults
Techtarget | May 15, 2019
Louis-Philippe Morency is on a mission to build technology that can better understand human behavior in face-to-face communication.By using specialized cameras and a kind of artificial intelligence called multimodal machine learning in healthcare settings, Morency, associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, is training algorithms to analyze the three Vs of communication: verbal or words, vocal or tone and visual or body posture and facial expressions.
Does Artificial Intelligence Know It's Artificial?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer science that specialized in creating computer systems with human-like intelligence. Intelligence is exhibited by thinking, making decisions, solving problems and more importantly by learning. Not long ago, the concept of building an intelligent machine was considered science fiction, something taken out of sci-fi movies. But with the technology and computer science rapidly developing, we see AI machines impacting almost every aspect of lives.
Asep Medical Holdings Inc. Announces Grant of Stock Options
ASEP Medical Holdings Inc | November 25, 2022
Asep Medical Holdings Inc. is pleased to announce that, for recruitment, incentivization, and retention purposes, it has granted to certain officers and advisors an aggregate of 1,080,000 stock options to purchase up to 1,080,000 common shares of the Company of which 200,000 are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per Share until September 29, 2032, 200,000 are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share until October 1, 2032, and 680,000 are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share until November 24, 2032. ABOUT ASEP MEDICAL HOLDINGS INC Asep Inc. is dedicated to addressing antibiotic failure by developing novel solutions for significant unmet medical needs. The Company is a consolidation of two existing private companies that are both in the advanced development of both proprietary diagnostic tools, enabling the early and timely identification of severe sepsis as well as broad-spectrum therapeutic agents to address multidrug-resistant biofilm infections. Sepset Biosciences Inc. is developing a diagnostic technology that involves a patient gene expression signature that predicts severe sepsis, one of the significant diseases leading to antibiotic failure since antibiotics are the primary treatment for sepsis.

Sharps Technology Begins Manufacturing at its Hungary Facility for the Company's Innovative Syringe Products
Sharps Technology Inc | December 21, 2022
Sharps Technology, Inc. an innovative medical device and drug delivery Company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, announces they have commenced manufacturing of their much-needed ultra-low waste smart safety syringe products in their European operation in Hungary. The plant has been producing products and will begin shipments to support the distribution and sales agreement with Nephron Pharmaceuticals by the end of the year, and customer agreements in Europe in early 2023. The production of these specialty syringe products will ramp up over the next several months to increase supply. Sharps innovative syringe designs provide a beneficial set of features and advantages for the healthcare industry. These syringe product features include a combination of ultra-low waste, passive and active safety, and reuse prevention. By combining all these features and building them into a portfolio of syringe offerings, it will create product platforms that can help drive down the cost of healthcare treatments. "This is a transformative point for our company as we move from a pre-revenue research & development start-up to a true manufacturing company that should generate revenue in the first half of 2023. Today's healthcare providers are responsible for managing their supply chains and driving down their total cost of ownership (TCO) for medical treatments. Sharps Technology will be able to offer products that can directly support those programs. At Sharps Technology, we feel that by using better drug delivery technology, we can help create additional medical treatments at no additional cost for patients that need them." Robert Hayes, Sharps Technology CEO "We look forward to a bright future at Sharps Technology," concluded Mr. Hayes. "The recently signed distribution agreement with Nephron Pharmaceuticals accelerates the sales plan for our innovative syringe products that are currently being produced in the Sharps plant in Hungary. The ability to pull forward our sales plan for customers in the US will create a unique opportunity for early revenue at Sharps. We expect to have our first products available for sale in the US by the end of January 2023, with additional products to be added to the distribution network by mid-year of 2023." When healthcare providers use ultra-low waste syringes with multi-dose vials, it allows for the availability of up to 20% to 40% more medication for patients that need the treatment. This medication availability is created by using more efficient syringes designated as low-waste and ultra-low waste products, and not trapping medication within the syringe after the dose is given. The use of standard syringes that are not designated as low waste or ultra-low waste products typically creates a dead space area within the syringe where excess medication is trapped and cannot be used. This dead space then causes the healthcare provider to throw away the unused medication. The trapped medication in the dead space of a standard syringe can waste as much as 100 microliters of medication or more. The Pharmaceutical companies that fill their medication into vials understand this and must then overfill the vial with drug therapy to compensate for the problem. As the costs for medication and medical treatments rise, the discarded medication can cost the industry millions of dollars, or more, globally. The purchase of the European facility was finalized in the summer of 2022 and Sharps has invested in infrastructure and equipment upgrades to prepare the plant for a full manufacturing schedule. Syringe products produced by Sharps comply with all applicable FDA and ISO requirements and have been awarded the European Union's CE Mark. The Sharps Hungary team, led by General Manager Filippo Filippi, brings together a dedicated and knowledgeable manufacturing force, with more than 20 years of experience in supplying the world with high quality, innovative syringe products. Prior to the GM position, Filippi's career spanned years of building, managing, and supporting multiple manufacturing sites across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Hungary plant is vertically integrated in that it has the capability to manufacture the syringe components by injection molding, assemble the devices on automated lines or by manual assembly if required, and to sterilize the products on-site through the Ethylene Oxide sterilization process. This last stage of the syringe manufacturing process is unique in the industry and gives Sharps an advantage in supporting shortened lead times as compared to the common need to utilize a third-party for sterilization. The plant has manufacturing capacity to supply more than 50 million units today and the facility could be expanded to produce 250 million units or more over the next couple of years. About Sharps Technology Sharps Technology is a medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company specializing in the development and manufacturing of innovative drug delivery systems. The company's product lines focus on low waste and ultra-low waste syringe technologies that incorporate both passive and active safety features. These features protect front line healthcare workers from life-threatening needle stick injuries and protect the public from needle re-use. Sharps Technology has extensive expertise in specialized prefilled syringe systems and ready to use processing. The company has a manufacturing facility in Hungary and has partnered with Nephron Pharmaceuticals to expand its manufacturing capacity in the US..

The 2019 Newbery and Caldecott Medals were announced in January…but did you know there are lots of other lesser-known awards for children's books?
My favorite is the Geisel Award. It's named after Theodore Geisel (otherwise known as Dr. Seuss) and it's awarded to the best book for beginning readers.
Right now, I have kids in both kindergarten and first grade – so I am always looking for great books for new and emerging readers. I also love that the Geisel books are often funny and a little silly – as sometimes the Newbery and Caldecott tend to go to more serious, "important" books.
This year's Geisel winner is Fox the Tiger by Corey R. Tabor. It's a funny book about a fox who wishes he was a little bigger, and faster, and sneakier. More like a tiger. My kids loved it.


Samuel Whitehead discovered discovered the ancient art of fermentation during his travels in Guatemala. Fermented food, the combined of fresh food and microbiology, became Sam's passion.
With help from his wonderful family, Sam started creating small batches of fermented vegetables in 2005. He wanted to create something honest, sustainable and wholesome. Because he wanted to create something that showcased local produce, Sam experimented with new flavours.
Sam now creates his fermented food range in a commercial kitchen space on "Starlight Springs Farm". A small family farm in Myponga, Starlight Springs specialises in beautiful, organically grown, heirloom vegetable varieties. So it's the perfect place to make fermented foods. 'It's an amazing feeling to look out the window at a row of cabbages knowing that they will eventually be the basis of one of our creations. Farm to jar, just the way we like it' says Sam.
Come and try their sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha and ginger beer; all made using wild fermentation techniques and local produce. Pro-biotic rich goodies to give you that good "Gut Feeling".
Find the Gut Feeling outside at the Adelaide Farmers' Market every Sunday.


For the human health, the lymphatic system is important as the blood circulatory system, it is also important for our well-being. But not everyone take care of it or have heard of it, because it is not talked about as much as the blood circulatory system.
Most of the inflammation and treatment of vital organs are controlled by our lymphatic system, so it is wise to keep it in a top form. Tumors and weakened immune system are a result of only the improper drainage of our lymphatic system.
It is necessary to keep your lymphatic system in a good shape for your health. Even if you exercise every day, you also need to exercise the lymphatic system to help it drain as it should.
According to a study that has been done by Dr. David Williams, who has done researches for almost every health concern, he says that "There no drug or pill that can improve your lymphatic system." Therefore, he said that the system can be improved by the use of Castor oil.
The oil can be applied on different parts of your skin.
Apply the oil to the lower abdomen for lymphatic stimulation.
Take a cotton pad folded several times and cold-pressed castor oil.
Take the cotton pad and apply it on your skin, it is best to leave it overnight.
The castor oil will help you improve your digestive system, reduce inflammation and increase the circulation of the lymph.
Herbs and tea are often used to purify and cleanse the lymphatic system. Echinacea is the most common used herb to improve the drain our lymphatic system. Studies have shown that it improves lymphatic functions and the immune system also.
It is used to prevent you from bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and to reduce inflammation. Echinacea strengthens the macrophages, these are cells of the lymphatic system that cleanse the lymph from toxins.
Stimulating the sweat glands is the best way to cleanse our body from toxins. It can only be done in sauna to raise our body temperature and for this process to start. Almost all the toxins that are concentrated in our body such as, mercury, sodium, lead, copper and other chemicals are extracted through this process.

REVIEW BY: Jason Warburg
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 04/29/2017
Whether it's love or pain or the search for meaning, every album worth remembering is, on some level, about something.
This album is about joy. Pure, unadulterated, unaffected, unconscious, giddy-from-the-top-of-your-head-to-the-tips-of-your-toes joy. The kind of joy that inspires—no, demands that you play music. And then the joy that you get back from listening to that instinct and just playing, really playing, giving yourself over completely to the music and living inside of it.
Sammy Miller And The Congregation play jazz. It's hard to define them beyond that simple description, because jazz has so few firm boundaries, and because this collection of young musical wizards pushes every one there is.
Don't get the idea these guys are experimentalists uninterested in tradition, though. Quite the contrary, they are steeped in the roots of jazz and deliver superb covers of iconic jazz standards by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and Scott Joplin. But their covers are superb precisely because they don't feel like covers; they feel like taking a ride in a 1948 Ford pickup that's just had a throaty new engine fresh off the racetrack dropped into the chassis.
This band—Sam Crittenden on trombone, Ben Flocks on tenor sax, Alphonso Horne on trumpet, David Linard on piano and harmonica, Patrick Sargent on soprano sax, Jon Snow on upright bass, and the irrepressible Sammy Miller leading the charge on drums and vocals—contains so much energy you start to worry they may spontaneously combust.
And yet they also understand how to pace a show (as I witnessed recently) or an album; the quieter moments are precisely what give the more crowded, frenetic ones their power and impact. Thus the band opens with a relatively subdued take on "Big Rock Candy Mountain," dialing it back to just piano, bass and drums and giving it a sort of gently playful lounge-jazz arrangement. "What A Wonderful World" is similarly but more energetically transformed, opening with that familiar, gorgeous melody played through once by the horn section before the rhythm section kicks in and they begin working outside the lines of the song, hanging onto that aura of elegance even as they explore unknown reaches of the basic melody.
The third track, a cover of the old New Orleans brass band standard "Lil' Liza Jane," is where Sammy And The Congregation achieve full liftoff, turning a normally jaunty number into a seven-man locomotive careening brakeless down the tracks; it feels like the band could run right off the rails any moment, but they make every curve like a bulging-eyed cartoon of a world-class jazz band. The ramshackle exuberance of this group in full flight is a thing to behold (and behold it you should).
Next up, the suite of Miller originals "Chorale" / "Blues Don't Bother I" is characteristically idiosyncratic, a clever, intentionally shaggy group vocal introducing a rambunctious, rollicking number that feels like it should be another transformed standard, but isn't. It's a song whose resting gear is double-time and that speeds up from there in a series of frenetic blasts of showy and undeniably impressive soloing. It's loose and playful and full of a boisterous flair that amuses and amazes in equal measure.
By contrast, the gospel traditional "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" opens as a New Orleans funeral march, saxes and trombone over drums, before picking up steam (and players) as it moves from languorous to assertive and introduces a characteristically sassy trumpet solo. The other Miller original "In The Morning Light" opens as a lounge-y piano ballad, with Miller crooning "I'm a worn and sensitive soul" as gang vocals come in behind him to give it all a woozy morning-after feel. Miller's scruffy charm is on full display as our narrator owns up to his behavior even as he busies himself trying to talk his way out of any consequences. "Good lord I'm bad," Miller finally confesses, cuing up a ringing sax solo.
"Black Bottom Stomp" is a 1925 Jelly Roll Morton number that Miller and Congregation turn into a five-minute joyride that gains velocity bar by bar until it careens across the finish line with all four horn players soloing over the top of one another. They close this all-too-brief 34-minute debut with a brilliant take on Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," playing it reasonably straight at the open before letting their instincts for showmanship take over as they break it down again and again in increasingly imaginative and acrobatic ways. Typically for this group, there's yelling in the background as they egg one another on, traversing a winding, interwoven series of horn solos that culminates in a complete breakdown before they return in triple-time. It's like the grand finale at the circus where every clown and animal and gymnast comes out and does their thing all at the same time with the house lights blazing.
These guys still have lessons to learn in terms of translating what they do on stage—which is tremendous but also tremendously visual—onto a studio recording, but there's no question they will. Sammy Miller And The Congregation is a dynamite debut from a very promising jazz collective, a band of brothers that proves with every note and every song that they are playing music for all the right reasons: because they love it, and they want to share that love with you.

Q: Another inequality for two complex numbers Given two complex numbers $a$ and $b$, and $1<p<\infty$, show that
$$
|a-b|^p \leq 2^{p-1}(|a|^p+|b|^p).
$$
I have check it in some concrete cases.

A: Since $p\in (1,\infty )$ the function $f(x)=x^p$ is convex on $[0,\infty)$ so, by Jensen's Inequality,
$$\begin{align}
f(\frac{|a|+|b|}2) &\le \frac{f(|a|)+f(|b|)}2 \\
(\frac{|a|+|b|}2)^p &\le \frac{|a|^p+|b|^p}2 \\
(|a|+|b|)^p &\le 2^p\cdot\frac{|a|^p+|b|^p}2 \\
(|a|+|b|)^p &\le 2^{p-1}\cdot (|a|^p+|b|^p)
\end{align}$$
Your inequality follows from the triangle inequaltiy $|a-b| \le |a|+|b|$.

Instagram's New Feature Will Help Weed Out Trolls
New Instagram Feature
1 August, 2016 by Georgia Bobley
Instagram is making major progress in stopping--or at least managing-- Internet trolls with a new option that allows users to monitor comments on their own posts.
While you can already delete comments that you don't want appearing on your photos, this new feature will give you even more control of your stream. Though Instagram has not yet unrolled the feature, The Washington Post reports that soon, you'll be able to mark words, phrases, and even emojis as "inappropriate," and comments that include those items will not appear in your feed.
"Our goal is to make Instagram a friendly, fun and, most importantly, safe place for self expression," said Instagram's head of public policy, Nicky Jackson Colaco, in a statement to The Post. "We have slowly begun to offer accounts with high volume comment threads the option to moderate their comment experience. As we learn, we look forward to improving the comment experience for our broader community."
According to The Washington Post, Instagram has already started testing the feature on prominent accounts, which led people to speculate whether Taylor Swift is one of the first to get this helpful tool: earlier this month, when Taylor's feud with Kim Kardashian was escalating, many comments on the singer's page disappeared too quickly to have been done manually. Though Instagram declined to comment, it's possible that the star's feed is the first to get the makeover that will be coming to the rest of us later this year.

About Stamp
Considered one of the pioneers of wildlife art, John James Audubon was a gifted painter with a unique style and method that combined scientific accuracy with emotion. His legacy to naturalists and artists the world over is The Birds of America collection of 435 skillfully rendered paintings, of which 433 remain preserved today. Canada Post pays tribute to Audubon through a three-year series dedicated to 15 of the 33 birds Audubon painted on Canadian soil. The series will end in 2005 and includes five stamps per year. This issue includes four domestic rate ($0.48) stamps available in a pane of 16, and a self-adhesive U.S. rate ($0.65) stamp in a booklet of six.
John James Audubon (1785-1851)
John James Audubon was born in 1785 in Les Cayes in the French Colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). He lived in Les Cayes until the age of six, then moved to France for 12 years before settling in the United States. Around 1820, Audubon undertook the daunting task of painting all the birds of the United States and Canada. His Canadian works were painted during two separate journeys; a trip along the Newfoundland coast in 1831, and a sailing voyage with his son and friend in 1833 along the North Shore of the Lower St. Lawrence, the Labrador coast south of the Strait of Belle-Isle, and Newfoundland. Many of the 33 completed or almost completed watercolours Audubon painted during these two trips are considered among his best. Approximately 226 of the 435 plates that make up The Birds of America collection feature typically Canadian birds.
The Birds of America Collection
Audubon himself painted each of the birds in this collection. Due to the sheer amount of work involved, he gave the task of reproducing habitat and plant life backgrounds to several assistants, Joseph Mason, George Lehman, Lucy Audubon, Victor Audubon, and Maria Martin. The ultimate goal of Audubon's Birds project was to reproduce his paintings in engravings and sell them to subscribers in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Master Engravers
Audubon's search for a master engraver in the United States revealed no candidates, so Audubon travelled to Edinburgh, Scotland to hire W.H. Lizars to engrave 10 copper plates from which the first etchings were pulled and later hand-painted between 1826 and 1827. Complications in Lizars' studio made Audubon hire engraver Robert Havell Sr. from London, who was assisted by his son Robert Havell Jr. Havell's studio completed the task of etching all 435 engravings by summer of 1838. Experts agree that there are approximately 120 complete prints of a potential 175 to 200 copies of The Birds of America. Four of these prints belong to public collections in Canada: Canada's Library of Parliament in Ottawa, McGill University library, Toronto Public Library, and the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly library.
2003 Audubon Birds
Featured in Canada Post's 2003 stamps are five birds native to Canada: 1) Leach's storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa, which is seen along the east and west coasts; 2) the great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo, the largest cormorant in North America; 3) brant Branta bernicla, a goose inhabiting the north; 4) the common murre Uria aalge, an outstanding diver and swimmer; 5) gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus, the official bird of the Northwest Territories and the world's largest falcon.

CDOT Launches New Online Clearinghouse: "Complete Streets Chicago"
An image of the rehabbed Congress Parkway at Dearborn Street on the website.
The Chicago Department of Transportation has so many balls in the air nowadays when it comes to sustainable transportation and livable streets projects, it can be hard to wrap your head around all of them. The department's recently launched Chicago Complete Streets web portal is good starting point for getting a handle on the many current initiatives and resources intended to promote safe, efficient and pleasant conditions for everyone on the street, not just drivers.
"The new website is part of recognizing that complete streets is a part of everything we do," said Commissioner Gabe Klein. Earlier this year the department was reorganized, with a new "complete streets group," headed by Project Director Janet Attarian, which combines most of the functions of CDOT's bicycle, pedestrian and streetscaping sections.
"Nowadays we don't feel like we need to have bike, ped, and transit projects broken out into separate sections," Klein added. "But a lot of times people don't know where to find information about our different programs, so the website consolidates the info."

The site is organized into four main sections. "Your Streets" includes links to design guidelines, plans and reports, pedestrian programs, bike facilities, the Make Way for People and Make Way for Play public space initiatives, off-street trails and more. "Your Safety" features programs like the Safe Routes and Bicycling Ambassadors, bike safety enforcement, the "It's Up to You" safety campaign, and the child safety zones and traffic camera initiatives.
"Your Ride" includes info about bike maps, Divvy bike-share, bus rapid transit projects, and trip planners like Google Transit and the Regional Transit Authority's GoRoo. And "Your Environment" features CDOT environmental initiatives like the Center for Green Technology and Greencorps, as well initiatives to promote the use of vehicles that run on alternative energy sources and sustainable infrastructure like water-permeable alleys.
Unlike other CDOT webpages, which look clunky and institutional, the new site, spearheaded by staffer Carlin Thomas, has a stylish, modern appearance, inspired by the several splashy-looking plans and reports consultant Sam Schwartz Engineering has put together for the department. "Our old website uses the standard city format but the Complete Streets site let us be a little more creative," Klein said. "We hope it will encourage people to check out our design guidelines and plans and get more involved in the community input process."
When I asked Klein whether his background in marketing played a role in the slick design of the new site, he replied that a lot of thought was given to making it user-friendly. "It's always important to look at a project through the eyes of the customer," he replied. "In this case it's the Chicago residents that we're here to serve. Our goal is to attract as many new people into the city as we can and keep existing residents as happy as possible. It's that simple."

Trump Raises Eyebrows After Referring to US Secret Service as 'S.S.' on Twitter

https://sputniknews.com/viral/202006111079587693-trump-raises-eyebrows-after-referring-to-us-secret-service-as-ss-on-twitter-/
The Twittersphere was flabbergasted on Thursday when US President Donald Trump tweeted that "protesters, agitators" and "anarchists" were handled "very easily" by the "S.S." Although Trump was presumably referring to the Secret Service, the initials SS are associated with the Schutzstaffel, a Nazi paramilitary organization.
"Our great National Guard Troops who took care of the area around the White House could hardly believe how easy it was. 'A walk in the park', one said. The protesters, agitators, anarchists (ANTIFA), and others, were handled VERY easily by the Guard, D.C. Police, & S.S. GREAT JOB!" Trump tweeted.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2020
Trump's tweet was met with incredulity, with some tweeting that his use of the initials was meant to "inflame tensions and instigate harms." Others claimed that even as non-Americans, they are aware that the proper abbreviation for the US Secret Service is USSS.
"For those who say Trump used S.S. because of Twitter's character limits, then please tell me why he wasted characters for the dot between the two S's. He could have easily said USSS rather than S.S. and the character limits would literally be the same," another user wrote.

According to US Holocaust Museum, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "entrusted the SS first and foremost with the removal and eventual murder of political and so-called racial enemies of the regime."
Trump's tweet comes after the administration used police to violently disperse hundreds of lawful protesters congregated in Lafayette Park on June 1 with chemical irritants, rubber bullets and sound cannons so that the president could walk to the St. John's Episcopal Church across the street from the White House to take pictures in front of the historic building with a Bible.
In addition, multiple attacks by US police against peaceful demonstrators have occurred in the aftermath of the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25. Police have driven vans into throngs of protesters, pepper-sprayed them and also arrested thousands.
In a news release last week, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with other civil rights groups, filed a lawsuit against Trump, Attorney General William Barr and other federal officials for violating protesters' constitutional rights by attacking them.
Trump has also recently been criticized for being racially insensitive after announcing that his first re-election campaign rally would be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19. The date is known as "Juneteenth" and commemorates the end of slavery in the US. Tulsa was also the site of one of the worst massacres of black people in American history in 1921, when a white mob murdered hundreds of black residents.

Replica of Spitfire 'Aksel' MK VB BL924
At the outbreak of war, Aksel Svendsen volunteered for Royal Air Force service aged 17 but it was not until the beginning of 1941 that he was accepted for flying training together with two other Danish pilots: Jørgen Thalbitzer and Jens Ipsen.
On 11 July 1941 Svendsen was awarded his wings and commissioned in the rank of Pilot Officer. In company with Jørgen Thalbitzer and Jens Ipsen he completed initial training in December 1941 and the three of them were posted to No.32 Squadron to convert to Hurricanes.
On 1 April 1942, Svendsen and Thalbitzer were posted to 234 (Madras Presidency) Squadron at lbsley (30 km west of Southampton). The Squadron was converting to Spitfire VBs at the time when three Danish presentation Spitfires were donated to the RAF each named after a medieval Danish King. These aircrafts were received at the Squadron on the 5th, and "officially" by Winston Churchill at Number 10, Downing Street on the 9th April.
Fifteen days later, on 24 April 1942, Axel Svendsen was shot down and killed by a Focke Wulf 190 over Berck-sur-Mer on the Channel Coast. He was flying Spitfire VB BL924 'AZ-G 'Valdemar Atterdag', the first of the presentation aircraft. He had logging 30 operational sorties and 26 hours on the Spitfire before his death.
On the day in question, the RAF carried out a circus operation (Circus No. 133) over Northern France while six Bostons of 88 Squadron attacked Abbeville and twelve Bostons of 107 Squadron were tasked to bomb oil installations at Vlissingen on Walcheren, Holland. Fighters of 234, 501, and 118 squadrons were sent across the Channel to divert German fighters of Jagdgeschwader 26.
The main bomber force was out of range of the German fignters but three Gruppen of JG26 were directed towards the three RAF squadrons. At 14.22, II./JG26 was scrambled from Abbeville/Durat and headed the 30 km south to Bercksur-Mer. The Gruppe had the time and height to get into an advantageous position to bounce the RAF fighters. Crossing the French coast near Cap Griz Nez, FW190A-2s from II./JG26 shot down four of 234 Squadron's Spitfire VBs. Nine Spitfires were lost that day but all the bombers returned safely.
Pilot Officer Aksel Andreas Svendsen, 110596, RAFVR aged 19 was killed three days before his 20th birthday.
The Svendsen family commissioned a replica of BL924 in the 1960s and presented it to the Tangmere Military and Aviation Museum as a memorial to Aksel. Sadly the museum has now lost touch with the family and when, on 3rd August 2012, the museum reported that an inspection of the replica had revealed age-related structural problems. An assessment of the necessary restoration work indicated damage beyond the Museum's ability to repair. At about the same time, they heard that the Spitfire Society was planning a Spitfire replica for mobile display purposes as part of the schools curriculum support program. Knowing that we possessed the required facilities and expertise fully to restore "BL924", they suggested we might take her on and retain her existing livery as a memorial to Aksel. The change of ownership was agreed and she was collected by the Society on 25th April.
The first task was to dismantle and strengthen the fuselage replacing the decayed wooden structure with glass-reinforced plastics. The tail had suffered very badly having parted from the fuselage and deformed. A particular challenge was that the aircraft had been designed to be displayed in a flying attitude with the simulated undercarriage retracted. To adapt it for ease of handling it was necessary to fit an undercarriage. The nose was removed as far as the firewall bulkhead which is the main structural element supporting the wing's main spar and transferring the undercarriage loads into the fuselage. This was removed and replaced by a more substantial structure which incorporates the jacks that operate the wing-fold mechanism.
In order to make the promised deadline of an appearance at the Spitfire Society's headquarters at the Welsh Spitfire Museum's open day in mid May; a team of four, occasionally five, members of the Cornish Roundel worked flat out for a month. We made the deadline - but with half an eye on navigators - with only one wing deployed! In her partially restored state "BL924" looked complete from the starboard side and but was particularly interesting and educational "behind the scenes".
By the end of June the wings had been opened, stiffened and strengthened with major structural modifications to take the new wing-fold mechanism. The major restoration is about half complete but much of the low-relief detail on the fuselage is in need of improvement to withstand close inspection. The cockpit is not currently fitted out and this would be a worthwhile addition and a project for another roundel perhaps? At the time of writing the team are off on their summer holidays and due to resume work in the autumn, all being well.
On its trailer "BL924" weighs about as much as a large caravan and can be towed without difficulty by a medium size car. This was an important consideration since it is intended that our Roundel members should have easy access to it to promote the Society and its activities wherever possible.
We owe it to Aksel - and the many young men like him: not only those who were lost, but also those who survived and were changed by war - to carry forwards the story of the momentous events of the mid 20th Century. The Spitfire Society is doing this by looking to the future and making learning relevant and recreational. David Spencer Evans, 2013
From February 2016 she has been on static display at Beale Park in Berkshire and left on 23 February 2019.
Our campaign now is to complete the restoration process and weather proofing for the long term protection of the replica and enable her to continue to be displayed for all to visit and view.
