About Freemasonry
Facts on the New York Masons
The Masonic Compact
Nineteen Governors of New York State have been Masons.
Many famous celebrities have been New York Masons, including Harry Houdini, Irving Berlin, and Al Jolson, among countless other notables.
The Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York at the present time (2016-2018) is Most Worshipful Jeffrey Williamson of Alden, NY.
The New York Grand Lodge Headquarters, also known as Masonic Hall, is located at 71 West 23rd Street (at the Avenue of the Americas) in the historic Chelsea district of Manhattan. Masonic Hall is open for free public tours weekdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and by appointment.
Masonic Hall is home of the Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library of the Grand Lodge, which houses one of the most complete collections of Masonic literature and artifacts in the world.
The New York Masons began the Child ID Program, or CHIP, in response to the staggering number of missing children nationwide. In 2006 over 50,000 children participated – and more than 275,000 have taken part since the program began in 1991. The NY Masonic Child Identification Program imprints a child's digital image on a Mini CD-ROM and prints a personal identification card that captures fingerprints and records personal information. The parents, only, retain this important information for use in an emergency.
The New York Masons own and operate the Masonic Care Community, a state-of-the-art retirement community in Utica,New York. It began operation in 1894 to provide care for indigent Masons, their widows and orphans. Today, the New York Masons provide a continuum of health care encompassing a range of facilities from and award-winning independent living campus to assisted living to skilled nursing and rehabilitation for Masons and non-Masons alike.
The world renowned Masonic Medical Research Laboratory (MMRL) was founded by the Masons of New York State in 1958 and has pioneered in studies relating to the heart and diseases of the heart. The MMRL has been awarded many international awards for its research into cardiac arrhythmias and biological and molecular genetics of the heart. The MMRL is located on the Masonic Care Community campus in Utica.

Turbot (Inis Toirbirt or Tairbeart in Irish) is a small island and a townland of County Galway, in Ireland, also referred as Inishturbot and Talbot Island.

Geography

Turbot Island lies off the Irish coast not faraway from Clifden and Cleggan. It is located South of Inishturk and West of Aird Mhór Peninsula. The easiest place to land on Turbot is the North side of the island, where most of the old houses are gathered. A road cuts Turbot from East to West.

History
A small community used to live on Turbot, but the island was evacuated in 1978. Later some of the old buildings were transformed into holiday homes.

Demographics
The table below shows data on Inisturk's population taken from Discover the Islands of Ireland (Alex Ritsema, Collins Press, 1999) and the Census of Ireland.

Arsenal: Sometimes just One Second
Posted by anicoll5 on March 2, 2018 in All Posts
Good Friday morning Positive Arsenal fans,
A better performance last night than Sunday but the same scoreline against a set of attacking players who at this rate will tear up the Premier League record book easily. In spite of my early season scepticism, Citeh appear to be very serious contenders for the Champions League final. If there is a club or clubs out there who would have turned over our opponents in the form they were in last night then I have not seen them. I noticed all the pundits seemed to be cooing and gurgling about MC in contrast to their vituperative attacks on our players during the Carabo.
I have not checked the stats but last night I think Citeh had five serious efforts on goal and scored beautifully from three of them. We had probable five, perhaps seven, worthwhile chances, including the penalty, and yet did not trouble the scorer. In other recent games – against Palace and Everton we did to the opposition with our first half goal-fest in each game pretty much what the visitors did to us last night – we were home and hosed by half time. I therefore raise my footballing hat in admiration.
Having got that commendation out of the way I thought our lads did OK. Aaron looked fit again and it seems essential that if we are to put in a strong finish to the season he stays fit. Granit worked his arse off as always, Mkhi buzzed and earned his penalty. It is taking time for PEA to fit in and for us to play to his strengths but it is a positive work in progress. Hitting the back of the net though – that is what has let us down all this season. The problem has to be resolved – easily said – bloody hard to do.
In the world of strange football statistics I was informed last night was the worst sequence of three results AFC have suffered for 41 years, since February/March 1977, when we lost away at Middlesborough, Everton and at Highbury to the then very good Ipswich and the 'appy Ammers. We then went on to lose our next two games. I survived the catastrophe 41 years ago, I suspect I shall survive it again.
So onward to Brighton for a Sunday lunchtime kick off and the chance to put two consecutive batterings by the Champions' elect behind us. I did not see any additional injuries or fitness problems last night and Jack should be available if required. I look forward to a brisk start.
Enjoy your Friday.

But returning to the football:
It fit the "narrative" to not acknowledge the quality of those senior "panic buys" and how they were brought in to lead a squad that apparently had no leaders: which is how they won three Fa cups in four years…
And it fits the narrative to ignore how hard it is to:
– Replace such figures
– Replace such figures the with a range of inexperienced (in the PL) recruits who are at an age that still has a period of development and progress ahead of them as players.
– How good Santi Cazorla, the best Spanish midfielder in their great team behind Xavi and Iniesta was or is. The insanity of the Expert blaggers still pining over the F Word when AFC ended up with the better footballer, somehow, was: properly insane, and reflected in this weeks' screeching. Did anyone expect anything less from the comedy clowns?
Th F Word would never realise his full potential after he rushed himself back from that "bruised bone" in order to take up Cazorla's place in that squad, as Cazorla was also out injured.
One can understand why a top level footballer player left a football club where they received zero protection from the football officials.
That's what happened. But talk of it is not allowed in some quarters.
< understandably left a few years ahead of an anticipated move (though they could've gone about it better).
finsburyp March 3, 2018 at 1:08 pm
<< just in case anyone has any trouble digesting that record:
The F Word couldn't or hasn't completed a full season of top flight football since Gardner clogged him without even a foul being called (not the first or time we've witnessed such hackery, outlawed C1875, allowed against the Arsenal).
"Not extra protection. Just protection".
Fascinating words from th Arsenal manager last week.
His words: not mine. Words reflected by the Arsenal Footballers, you know, like Jack Wilshere.
Of course ignored by the Wally and his flock.
You are not compelled to believe the football people when discussing the football over the hacks. Everyone has their own faith after all.
< not forgetting the data!
Faith is a powerful thing.

If a player has really leaked the details of a team meeting to the press, that is unforgivable. AW has always protected his players publicly and if they can't have the common decency to keep things in house then they are not worthy of respect. I've just about had enough of this public 'death by a thousand cuts' when this man deserved to leave with dignity given all the personal sacrifices he has made to bring AFC to where it is today. If it's true that he wanted to leave at the end of last season but was persuaded to stay, the board has to take full responsibility for the position they have put him in. I take no pleasure in watching a decent human being humiliated and disrespected and every bastard putting the knife in right now can go fuck themselves.
900ftgooner March 3, 2018 at 1:56 pm
Stephen, Thank you for your thoughtful contribution. It's measured and comprehensive, neither a quality much in abundance these days. I'd take (small) issue with only one point, that Arsenal's board is sound.
In my view – and this is just from looking at its makeup and reading organizational development research – the board is too small and homogeneous to lend itself to good decisions. The research is pretty compelling that the strongest decisions come from boards featuring differences of background, ethnic and gender composition, and opinion. Arsenal could do therefore with adding some women, youth, and people of color to a group now composed of aging white men plus Josh Kroenke.
That observation barely dents my wholehearted agreement with what you say otherwise.
Georgaki-pyrovolitis March 3, 2018 at 2:28 pm
I not only liked Passenal's comment I am loving it, endorsing it, praising it. PA is demonstrating to me yet again, and now during this most difficult time for AFC and Arséne that it's my home…
alabamagooner March 3, 2018 at 2:48 pm
No player leaked that story. I just can't see that. Saying a senior player "broke down in tears"? I can't see there being one man in that dressing room who would leak that about a teammate. Not that he should be ashamed of it (toxic masculinity anyone?), but these boys have been in this pressure cooker for a while. I don't see them betraying one another that way. Now: could one of the new boys have told someone, not thinking what would happen? Or, not yet truly understanding the media circus that surrounds this club? Maybe. Per will get to the bottom of it, I'm sure. Probably already has. The Germans are efficient, or so I hear.
Bellerin fake interview…
The consistently uncredible and risible gibberisms from Manchester Grunt?
Eleneny trolling Sanchez
You'd have to agree with 'bama above.
Mandy Dodd March 3, 2018 at 3:49 pm
Finsbury is correct, there has long been a media narrative against this club.
Now, the vultures have quite a lot of ammunition, not a great season on the pitch. Can leak a nice story to fit the narrative of some that Wenger doesn't do coaching.
Easy to now say he has lost the support of the board, no real evidence for this, although PHWs words, of accurate are a bit of a worry.
Nobody knows what happened last summer, but there is widespread opinion Wenger had to be talked into staying. I guess it is not behind imagination that some within the b
Club with their own ambitions and power plays may have wanted change last summer, and maybe still do.
I can accept that things are not always nicey nicey when those as influential as Wenger eventually depart, as some with ambitions try and fill anticipated power vacumes.
Very few outside the club know the truth, but I believe the sheer volume of these leaks are a bit concerning, not so much what they are saying, but with the worry some may be coming from closer to home.
If our manager is to depart this summer, I really hope this club do things correctly, with the dignity such a man deserves. Death by leaks falls out side respect.
Given the ammunition the English FA have supplied to their critics and placed upon the table for all to see over the past twenty four months, you have to remark at this remarkable contrast.
What is about the former England defensive coach against Iceland and the current England Woman's coach and BBC plundit that protects them to similar treatment bar the obligatory article after those humiliations, given the, ahem, greater ammunition – unless beating the champions in a cup final and reaching another in two seasons is considered to be comparable to Neville's achievements with Valencia and England (they aren't!) – how would a new manager at AFC be considered after such achievements in their first two seasons? (Fortunately AFC are not Chelsea!)
What is about these two players from that 50th game that makes them immune to such treatment? Not by fans we all remember the nation mouring every time the hapless clogger Phill Neville got on the pitch for England, but from their peers and colleagues and partners in the media.
Why are their fellow hacks afraid of them?
In the long term the future of the squad, of Ramsey and Wilshere, what happens with the back five in the summer is what's important?
Meanwhile there's a lot of football still to come this season. Brighton away. Rosicky's goal in the FA cup. Hopefully the new striker will score.
eduardo792 March 3, 2018 at 7:14 pm
if the media story about the players meeting is fake, then why, 24 hours later has none of our players shown a little bit of backbone and contradicted it, so many of them are on twitter day in day out, only takes a simple tweet that its "all made up bollocks" and media are put in their place. But not a peep from any of them.
would also add, if the story is fake, AFC should be banned said journo, and all journos of the publication responsible.
Wilshere was back in training today,
Welbeck missed training
Nketiah, Willock and Nelson involved in training too
was called a yid today cos I said I'd like to see Wenger become Arsenal Chairman.
LaboGoon March 3, 2018 at 7:52 pm
I don't think it's right to expect players or others to respond to fake news. Because once they start doing that people would expect them to do it again and again, and if the moment fail too thereafter… they will leave themselves open to sinister speculation. As supporters I think we are wise enough to see the BS for what it is. Most of these journos doesn't have an ounce of integrity, which should be more than enough to meh at their trolling.
then labo club should ban said journo and the publication he works for. its long past the time AFC should have stood up to these cunt journo's
I'm with you on that. That would be the most ideal way putting these hacks in their place…
some reports that the Sunday rags are going into overdrive with their Arsenal stories. most of it should be "revealed" by 11pm.
jjgsol March 3, 2018 at 9:19 pm
There is no disgrace being called a "yid", I am one, but, not a supporter of that bunch down the road, but because I am Jewish,
The word "yid" is simply a Yiddish word for a Jew, not in any negative way whatsoever.
It is simply ignorant people who started to use it as a negative reference to the scum, simply because they have many Jewish supporters.
We also have many Jewish supporters, such as myself and many of my friends,
Indeed, our club has a long tradition of Jewish support.
spurs fans use the term yid for themselves
but it was some of those idiotic wenger out idiots on twitter who attack everything and everyone who does not hate wenger
birdkamp March 3, 2018 at 9:43 pm
Former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, writers Jonathan Freedland and David Winner, comedians Ian Stone and David Schneider. Many more, plus my oldest friend.
We've got some really talented famous fans, so it's a tragedy that probably the most famous today is Piers Morgan.
Mandy Dodd March 4, 2018 at 12:15 am
Yid or no yid, think Wenger would be a superb chairman when he ceases to manage but if he does leave this summer, I suspect there will be a lucky club, or perhaps country that will inherit a revitalised , re-energised Wenger ready for a new challenge.
For starters, I could easily see him making France World Cup winners again.
It is possible he is suffering from overload at Arsenal, but there is a superb manager about him.
In the mean time, I think Josh Kroenke may sit as chairman
Shard March 4, 2018 at 8:30 am
The Guardian story is probably true. I doubt they'd make that up out of thin air. How they heard of it will be an inquest in the dressing room no doubt.
However, I would like to say that just because the conversation happened as described doesn't mean the image portrayed is real.
You know we are told players don't care. And one player got so emotional while making a speech to his teammates that he got choked up. So do they care? And now it's a bad thing?
One player said we need more help from the coaches. So either Wenger doesn't give them enough coaching, or they want more coaching for certain things. I remember a story many years ago where Arteta and the rest of the players apparently demanded more focus on set pieces. There was a period where we were terrible at them, so it might be true. Now Ozil says that he has never seen anyone more obsessed with set piece training. I don't think Wenger is aloof to players' demands. He may not agree with them all the time, but I think he certainly welcomes feedback.
Back to the current story. Apparently one player responded to the demand that coaches help by saying, that's not going to happen, we have to do it ourselves. Again, is the import that our coaches are useless and won't help, or that don't blame the coaches and let's look at ourselves?
In the heat of the moment we can say things we don't mean, or go overboard with stuff we do mean. It's not necessarily an accurate representation of what is thought and felt.
I'll say again that if the players have lost faith in the management, there is only one winner. But that IF remains, and I think the rest of the season will be a better guide than any more leaks as to how the players really feel about the situation, the manager, and themselves.
foreverheady March 4, 2018 at 9:46 am
Forgive me for this, but just in case it is of interest. I was asked to give a talk to a group of youngsters about a sporting memory, and as we travel to Brighton today I thought I would share it with you. It might help with perspective if things don't turn out well this afternoon!
Saturday, 18th August, 1979. A day I remember well for all sorts of reasons, some of them happy, some of them sad. It seems strange to think it now, but in those days I was a professional cricketer: a wicket-keeper by trade, but I also batted a bit and was pleased as you like to be living my schoolboy dream, playing for my County club, good old Sussex by the sea. That Saturday we were playing Yorkshire in the County Championship: a three-day home fixture with the added bonus of a separate 40 over game on the Sunday. We won the toss and batted, but after a promising morning quickly subsided to 180 for 7, losing three quick wickets after lunch. I walked out to bat – conscious of the crowd expressing doubt and disappointment, to join another young player, A. C. S. (Lester) Pigott, an old Harrovian, but we won't hold that against him, at the crease. Lester and I had worked our way through the Sussex ranks: junior schoolboy stuff, Under 19s, 2nd XI and now the full county first team and we believed in each other, even if nobody else gave us much of a prayer with the Yorkshire bowlers rampant – tails up and sensing blood.
Slowly but surely we steadied the ship, and all through that late August afternoon batted as if everything depended on it, gradually gaining the upper hand, and finally making hay while the sun shone. It was fun, and what made it somehow even better was the fact that that day marked the start of the Premier League Football season, and that Brighton and Hove Albion, having been promoted the previous season, were playing their first ever match in the top flight, against Arsenal, the pride of North London, no less. In those days the cricket and football grounds were only a mile apart, and as Lester and I put our cricketing crowd back on their feet, we could hear the chants, cheers and groans from the football as Arsenal asserted their authority and handed out a 4-0 drubbing to the Seagulls.
But I can remember very clearly the feeling of somehow being at the centre of the sporting world that afternoon, of having finally made it, and also, I am ashamed to admit, rather enjoying the adulation of the crowd. As Wordsworth wrote about the French Revolution: "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive – but to be young was very heaven."
Pride comes before the inevitable fall, of course, and after enjoying what proved to be a match-winning partnership of 70, downright cockiness saw me advance down the track, miss the ball by miles and lose my wicket, stumped by the Yorkshire keeper, David Bairstow. Bairstow was a real character, well known in the game for his dynamic approach: he'd spent the afternoon gently, and not so gently, sledging me, as befits the big, bluff Yorkshireman he was, and I'd looked up to him for several years, so despite my disappointment at getting out, I almost felt quite proud that it was at his hands. And as any of you who follow cricket would know, he is also the father of our current England wicketkeeper, Jonny Bairstow, so I know that as I follow and watch the Ashes this winter, I will be reminded of that moment all over again.
But here's the thing: a few years after David Bairstow eventually retired it came as a shock to discover that he had spent many years battling depression, a fight I'm sad to say he wasn't able to win: he took his own life while still in his 40s. And it wasn't long before I stopped being a promising young cricketer and had to realise I wasn't after all going to go on and play for England, and that it was time to hang up my gloves and find new ways of spending my days.
So when I remember that afternoon, as I do whenever Arsenal play Brighton, or hear Jonny Baristow's name on the radio, or just take a trip down memory lane, I'm reminded of a whole heap of things. That no matter how big, brave and successful someone might seem they may be hurting inside, and that we all need to have a better understanding of mental health. That it's good to have a dream, and good to be able to look back and know that you properly followed that dream and worked to make it happen, at least for a little while. That golden afternoons in the sun don't last for ever – but it's nice and right to enjoy them while you can. That the career you may initially set your heart on isn't necessarily the one that ends up defining your life, and that if we could see all, all might seem good.
And perhaps, most of all, that it is never a good idea to try and hit an off-spinner through Square Cover.

Is New BRCA Breast Cancer Drug Worth the Price?
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on January 29, 2018
The first drug approved to treat BRCA-related breast cancer has limits, but it's important for women with metastatic disease and BRCA mutation carriers.
There's a new drug to treat one of the tougher types of breast cancer.
It'll buy you about three extra months of what's called progression-free survival.
And it'll cost you, or your insurance company, $13,000 a month.
Experts interviewed by Healthline seem to think that for most people, it probably is. They also see a lot of potential for this kind of drug in the future.
Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first treatment specifically for advanced breast cancer associated with BRCA gene mutations.
The drug, Lynparza, is already used to treat ovarian cancer.
Its expanded use now includes HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in women who carry BRCA gene mutations.
Lynparza is a poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. It blocks an enzyme that helps repair damaged DNA, making cancerous cells with damaged BRCA genes less likely to be repaired.
This can slow or stop tumor growth.
The National Cancer Institute estimated there were 252,710 new cases of female breast cancer and 40,610 deaths from the disease in the United States last year.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations make up about 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers. BRCA mutations are also associated with ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.
You can inherit BRCA gene mutations from either parent. If one parent carries the mutation, their children have a 50 percent chance of inheriting it.
Approval of Lynparza was granted to AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP.
Who can take Lynparza
The new approval for Lynparza is for women who have already had some chemotherapy or hormone therapy.
Dr. Jack Jacoub is a medical oncologist and medical director of MemorialCare Cancer Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center in California.
Jacoub told Healthline that the length of prior chemotherapy is variable.
"Someone could have been on chemotherapy a year or two, then progressed. Then the clinician tried something else they felt should be stopped. It could happen quickly or she could have been on chemo for some time. It depends on response to treatment," he explained.
"Some women might continue to take hormone therapies," continued Jacoub. "There are some nuances to that. BRCA1 is almost associated with triple-negative breast cancer. But in the BRCA2 group, the majority is estrogen receptor-positive and would continue on hormone therapy along with this drug. But with some patients on chemotherapy, when they've reached that point, clinicians often feel they've exhausted the benefits of hormone therapy drugs. Each patient is different," said Jacoub.
FDA approval for a blood test called BRACAnalysis CDx has been granted to Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc. The test determines eligibility for the treatment.
Progression-free survival and quality of life
Progression-free survival is the length of time tumors don't show significant growth after treatment.
In trials, median progression-free survival for patients taking Lynparza was seven months. For patients on chemotherapy alone, it was slightly more than four months.
For Josh Newby, Komen Advocate in Science for Susan G. Komen, it's personal.
He lost his mother to metastatic breast cancer associated with the BRCA2 gene mutation.
"Progression-free survival is an interesting phrase," Newby said in an interview with Healthline.
"As patients and advocates, we want to look at things other than that. My mother, who was not doing very well, got on a drug that extended her life by five months. But extension of life with quality of life is important. Before she passed away, my mother was able to travel and see and do things," said Newby.
Jacoub agreed that length of survival isn't the only thing to consider.
"Metastatic disease obviously implies that it's incurable. So, a woman's survival duration is important, but so is quality of life. If giving one therapy would make someone absolutely miserable, you'd have to really think hard about how much you're helping. But if it's tolerable, by all means. You build these blocks of time," said Jacoub.
The FDA lists a variety of common side effects, including low red or white blood cell counts, nausea, and respiratory tract infections. Severe side effects include cancers of the blood or bone marrow, and inflammation in the lungs.
Jacoub said the discussion of side effects is important for many reasons.
They vary from person to person. And there's a learning curve with its use.
"We see it in women with ovarian cancer. Side effects can become impressive in the first few weeks. Don't trivialize them because it's a pill and not an IV drug. This class of drugs carries its own set of side effects that can be fairly substantial and that one has to respect and be careful of. They can be similar or worse than IV chemo, depending on the agent used," cautioned Jacoub.
"There are symptoms from the disease. Shrinking a tumor is important. There's a meaningful benefit in the setting of metastatic disease," he said.
About the seven-month progression-free survival in the trial, Jacoub pointed out that while half didn't do as well, half did a whole lot better.
"There's no exact mathematical model. So there are situations where you can have a fairly satisfying response. I wouldn't cite long-lasting response as the reason to do it. Hope is important, but you have to frame it in realistic boundaries," he continued.
Heavy price tag
Without insurance, Lynparza costs $13,886 per month.
Addressing the cost of the drug, Jacoub said, "Insurance is obligated to cover it. The cost, honestly, is overwhelming and there's no question it's a burden."
He noted that the price is comparable to other special oral drugs in this area.
"Some oral targeted drugs can be taken for years in some diseases. It takes a lot of money and effort to develop these drugs, but if you see others coming out, there may be some cost competition. Often times the cost doesn't really decrease until the drug is out of patent. We're eager to have more tools to help patients and it's a good discussion to have," said Jacoub.
There are challenges for those who don't have insurance.
"Reach out to organizations like Komen and others who provide support and guidance," suggested Newby. "And I can't stress enough how important it is to get a second opinion, even if you're at one of the top cancer centers in the world. Different institutions have different abilities to navigate insurance or find compassionate use."
AstraZeneca offers some assistance with copays and out-of-pocket costs.
Research moving into a new realm
Lynparza is the first PARP inhibitor approved for breast cancer.
It's also the first time a drug has been approved to treat metastatic breast cancer associated with BRCA gene mutations.
Jacoub hopes it's the first in a line of new PARP inhibitors for breast cancer treatment.
"This class of drugs is being studied across multiple phases of disease, including in a preoperative setting. The metastatic setting is the fertile soil from which we get these questions. We always want to take it into earlier-stage settings. It's the first clear sign there is a benefit. I suspect it will be joined by others," he said.
Jacoub said the field of BRCA cancers and other hereditary cancers is a fast-moving area. He expects things to be changing a lot.
"People were talking about this even before the application was submitted to the FDA," said Newby.
"Not only because of the results, but because of the way researchers are looking at cancer. What we've learned is that we need to study each patient's individual cancer based on genetic mutation, not just tumor type. What's interesting is that since the approval there's been a buzz. This is getting attention from the general public. We're moving into a new realm," he continued.
"The next step is to identify those patients who will be exceptional responders to new drugs being approved. Not only will you probably see this drug applied to other tumor types, but companies are working on similar drugs. Organizations like Komen and others want to fund the kind of research that gets the wheels spinning. This moves the research forward," said Newby.
Awareness, advocacy, and hope
Jacoub encourages patients to keep up on developments and discuss them with their oncologists.
And Newby promotes self-advocacy.
"My mom passed away four years ago and about five drugs have since been approved for metastatic breast cancer. That's pretty amazing," said Newby.
"Each cancer is unique in its own way, not only from a scientific molecular level, but on a personal level," he said.
Newby is a BRCA2 gene mutation carrier.
He hopes to have children someday. Those children would have a 50-50 chance of carrying the same mutation.
"Hopefully, that will change and my children won't have to face this same kind of problem. The key is to create awareness about drugs being approved. It's not a cure, but it's moving in that direction with support from organizations like Komen that are working with patients. Again, I can't stress enough: Be your own advocate, or advocate for a loved one. Get tested and seek out help and counseling. There are many resources out there," said Newby.

The Wire Troll: Nate Orf Deserves a Second Chance
June 1, 2019 | By RotoRob | comment on this post
Nate Orf is trying to work his way back to the bigs. (sports.yahoo.com)
Welcome back to another week of Fantasy baseball. We have officially hit June, so there's no more waffling allowed. You can still salvage your season, but you need to act immediately to start making gains. Use the wire!
This week, dropping MLB attendance was in the news with the Florida teams getting embarrassingly low numbers recently; Hyun-Jin Ryu continues to be untouchable, having a May to remember; and Albert Almora publicly broke down on the field after his line drive injured a young girl.
And now, let's get to this week's Fantasy baseball waiver wire recommendations and notes…
Nate Orf, OF, Milwaukee Brewers (ESPN: unowned; CBS: unowned): A natural second baseman, Orf is kind of buried in the Brewer organization given the presence of Mike Moustakas and Keston Hiura, but he deserves another look in the Show. At 29, Orf is no longer a prospect, but that's not to say he couldn't be an asset in the majors. On Thursday, he was 2-for-4 with a double for Triple-A San Antonio, giving him a five-game hit streak and a .485 BA over the last 10 games. Orf earned himself a 15-game trial with the Brewers last year, but he hit poorly and showed minimal extra-base sock (however, his first career hit was a homer that garnered him a curtain call — see video below). This year in the minors, he's hitting very well, cranking more homers, striking out less often and continuing to swipe bags. Orf may be blocked at second, but he's shown he can fill a super utility role in the minors and this season has mostly played outfield, so it would be nice to see him get a look at some point as he strikes us as a player that could surprise if given enough PT.
It's time to acknowledge the historic season Dodger outfielder Cody Bellinger is having. With a current WAR of 5.3, he's on pace to break Babe Ruth's MLB record of 14.1 set in 1923. Um, holy fuck.
Charlie Morton continues to thrive since joining the Rays. He hurled a season-high seven innings on Thursday to improve to 6-0 with a 2.54 ERA. Morton's ERA has improved each month, and his .205 BAA in May is actually his highest of the season as his WHIP stands at a career best 1.10. Impressive.
Speaking of Moustakas, in case you hadn't noticed, his power has returned in a big way this season. He spanked two more dingers as part of a four-hit game on Thursday, giving him eight jacks, 20 runs and 21 RBI in May. Moose is now on pace to top 40 homers for the first time in his career — and he's eligible at both third and second base, a major boon to his Fantasy value.
Since being optioned back to Triple-A last week, Delino DeShields has been mashing, hitting safely in all four games (three multi-hit efforts with four steals), to run his hitting streak at Triple-A to seven games. Talk about a Quad-A player. His OPS at Triple-A this season is 860, but just 605 in the bigs.
Martin Perez has been a very pleasant surprise this season, but the cracks are starting to form in his game. Last week, he had control problems and got touched up a bit by the Angels, but on Thursday, he was simply mauled by the Rays. Perez couldn't get out of the third inning, suffering the loss and watching his ERA soar from 2.95 to 3.71. It looks like he'll shoot past his inning count from last year, but his great start is beginning to appear to be a mirage.
Another pitcher that got off to a superb start but has gone downhill lately is Pittsburgh's Joe Musgrove. After being a Wire Troll All-Star candidate last year, he was a popular preseason sleeper pick in 2019, and certainly started that way (1.54 ERA through four starts). However, over Musgrove's last three starts, he's been shelled for 25 hits and 15 runs (14 earned) as his ERA has shot over four and a half. He's on pace to shatter his career high in innings, so it will be interesting to see how his body responds to that.
After a really nice start to the season, Leonys Martin has managed just three extra-base hits this month. With Cleveland seemingly heading into a youth movement, his days on the Tribe look numbered.
Keep an eye on KC starter Jakob Junis. He's been firestarter virtually all season, but has suddenly hurled back-to-back quality outings, racking up 14 Ks in 12 IP in the process. Junis showed promise as a rookie in 2017, slipped a bit last year, and really regressed so far this season. Perhaps he's turning a corner now; it's worth tracking.
Brandon Crawford is showing signs of life at the right time for the Giants. His two-run double in the eighth inning Thursday snapped a tie, allowing San Francisco to snap a seven-game skid. Crawford is 5-for-11 over the last three and is enjoying his best month of the season after looking lost in March and April. He had a bit of a bounceback in 2018, but has mostly been unproductive this year. Perhaps Crawford has a bit left in the tank, so keep an eye on him.

Austin Energy Celebrates National Lineworker Appreciation Day
On Sunday, April 18, Austin Energy recognizes its nearly 150 lineworkers for their dedication to ensuring customers have access to safe, reliable power for National Lineworker Appreciation Day.
Lineworkers, also known as Distribution Electricians, work long hours, often in inclement weather and dangerous conditions. They spend countless hours, days and sometimes weeks away from their own families, helping to safely restore power.
To help encourage and recruit the next generation of lineworkers, Austin Energy has its own Climbing School. Climbing School participants go through a three-week long training process designed to introduce the fundamental aspects of line work. It's a combination of formal classroom and field training where trainers help with the hands-on portion of the training during class and the on-the-job training. After graduating from climbing school, apprentices are assigned to a crew and begin their field learning.
"Climbing school is a very critical part of the apprenticeship program," said Craig Ptomey, Austin Energy Craft & Field Program Manager. "Austin Energy is lucky to have a full apprenticeship program that is taught in house. It is very satisfying to be a part of teaching a new apprentice through the full five-year program and watch them learn and grow."
Austin Energy's lineworkers help maintain more than 12,000 miles of distribution and transmission lines across a 437 square mile area, including Austin and portions of Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties.
"Lineworkers provide an essential service that is often overlooked. Never has this service been more important than during the last year, working through the unique challenges of a global pandemic and then Winter Storm Uri," said Jackie Sargent, Austin Energy General Manager. "We are so grateful for our lineworkers, who perform maintenance and repairs on a daily basis and stand ready to respond in emergencies in their own communities and sometimes in other communities."
Check out this video of Keffer Moore sharing his experiences as an Austin Energy lineworker.


A ragtag crew with forbidden magic must pull off an elaborate heist and stop a civil war in An Illusion of Thieves, a fantasy adventure from Cate Glass.
Romy escapes her hardscrabble upbringing when she becomes courtesan to the Shadow Lord, a revolutionary noble who brings laws and comforts once reserved for the wealthy to all. When her brother, Neri, is caught thieving with the aid of magic, Romy's aristocratic influence is the only thing that can spare his life—and the price is her banishment.
Now back in Beggar's Ring, she has just her wits and her own long-hidden sorcery to help her and Neri survive. But when a plot to overthrow the Shadow Lord and incite civil war is uncovered, only Romy knows how to stop it. To do so, she'll have to rely on newfound allies—a swordmaster, a silversmith, and her own thieving brother. And they'll need the very thing that could condemn them all: magic.

Space and Space Warfare
MathanKumar
Space - The final frontier. Mankind's fascination with anything seemingly unattainable conforms to his established repute. Slowly but steadily he has grown from spears and bows to guns and missiles to a point wherein Space is the only and next destination. Space warfare is already underway pioneered by the United States and Russia, albeit ancillary to conventional warfare. Satellites of various pedigree and derivations are being integrated to provide guidance to both troops and munitions, provide imagery data, amplify critical communication reach and do a plethora of other things. The increasingly significant part being accorded to Space thus merits concern.
On the face of it, Space is defined as the physical universe beyond earth's atmosphere, consisting of hard vacuum, with a baseline temperature of 2.7kelvin. But a closer study would reveal the ambiguity in this theoretical definition for the limit of the earth's atmosphere and the universe beyond is uncertain. The ambiguity rises as the limit is relative, whether it is for survival or propulsion of ducted engines or the lowest perigee of satellites in orbit. However, the Karman line, at an altitude of 100km above mean sea level, is conventionally accepted as the limit.
When the military confrontations between two hostile parties reach beyond this Karman line to infinity, it is termed Space Warfare. It can be direct offensive or defensive operations of war with Space exploited as a medium or just the presence of space assets in a blanket medium augmenting conventional warfare on Land, Water or Air. By and large, Space warfare is an extension of Aerial Warfare and thus it encompasses many mainstay principles and operations of the latter including control of airspace, damage rival space assets or attack ground or space based enemy concentrations or targets.
Space warfare but differs markedly in two ways. First is the remarkable change in aerodynamic laws governing aerial warfare which cease to exist. Thus, with the air in earth's atmosphere giving way to vacuum and dark matter of space, the munitions and delivery vehicles need more than air-breathing internal mechanisms and components for propulsion and ballistics. Second is the Outer Space treaty of 1967 which bans the use, testing or storage of weapons of mass destruction outside the earth's atmosphere although it does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit.
The aforementioned definitions and distinct features thus result in the characterisations of Military Space Operations. Space warfare, therefore, includes Control of Aerospace for freedom of military operations and denial of the same to adversaries, Space-based Navigation, Satellite Communications, Surveillance and Threat Warning, Command and Control, Information Operations, Non-Nuclear Missile Strikes and Defence.
These Military Space Operations, to make concrete, lead to the requirement of a motley collection of systems, which can be catalogued into the following categories based on utility:
Space Delivery Systems to launch or recover space assets.
Space Support Technology for communications, surveillance, navigation and reconnaissance.
Space and Counter-Space Defence Technology against missile strikes both space based or terrestrial, cyber hacks,etc.
Platforms or Space Assets for delivery of troops or weapons.
With the assemblage of space systems in place, we come about the governing concepts of Space Warfare:
Mobility in Space: The environment is not subject to the limitations of territorial boundaries, weather or the time of day, thereby augmenting observation, communication and transportation.
Integration of Information Systems: Through use of space assets overlaid over land, sea and air, the information systems are all connected and working in tandem under a blanket space info system, thus monumentally increasing battle awareness.
Illimitable Strike Capability: Refers to the increased capability of space assets to provide reconnaissance, navigation, communication, and command and control support and to the usage of space-based weapons systems to strike terrestrial and space-based targets.
While Space Warfare is still in constrained but steady stages of development worldwide, it can be anticipated that these concepts will be accomplished in near future to conduct all of the military space operations mentioned earlier followed by operations to disrupt and destroy space systems and further on to use of space forces to strike terrestrial and space based targets.
Space warfare is albeit a next-gen military science but the development of space technology will inevitably lead to the militarisation of space and space militarisation will lead to confrontation in space. As the struggle over air and space control is becoming the new focal point of war, space will become the main battlefield of future wars. Just as domination of land, control of sea, and superiority in air have become critical ingredients of a triumphant military strategy, ascendancy of space is emerging as an essential element of battlefield success and future warfare.

Might Trauma Affect Gender Identity? | Opinion
Mary Eberstadt , Senior Research Fellow, Faith and Reason Institute
On 7/16/21 at 6:30 AM EDT
Opinion LGBT Sexual abuse Transgender Celebrities
Another month, another social milestone. On June 27, Kataluna Enriquez became the first transgender woman in history to be crowned Miss Nevada USA, thereby qualifying to compete in November's national Miss USA contest. But like other recent "firsts," Enriquez's story tacitly excavates a question that some want to leave buried: might there be a relationship between trauma and gender self-reassignment?
As Enriquez was the first to note, the new Miss Nevada has a troubled past. Both parents left the future beauty pageant winner behind in the Philippines with friends as they emigrated elsewhere to find work. In one interview, Enriquez "disclosed that she is a survivor of physical and sexual abuse."
Physical abuse, sexual abuse, absent and/or divorced parents—these details riddle stories now emerging from beyond the binary. Consider a recent piece in USA Today: "Stars like Demi Lovato, Elliot Page, Sam Smith identify as nonbinary. What does that mean?" Every celebrity named in it shares two biographical commonalities: absent parents (almost always because of divorce) and a self-reported history of childhood and/or adolescent abuse (in almost all cases, sexual).
Demi Lovato is a child of divorce. Lovato has also reported having been raped as a minor, as one of Disney's kiddie stars; and again years later, by a drug dealer from whom the singer bought opioids.
Elliott Page—born female, and known before transition as Ellen Page—first identified as a lesbian, and was married to a woman (they have since divorced). Page now identifies as both transgender and non-binary, using pronouns "he/him" and "they/them." Page, too, is a child of divorce, and reported having been serially abused and harassed as a minor in Hollywood, including sexually.
Musician Sam Smith is another celebrity newly adopting the "non-binary" label. Born male, Smith is also a child of divorce, and further reports experiencing "violent homophobic abuse" throughout childhood and adolescence, as well as "homophobia and bullying in the gay community."
One might also consider Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness, a child of divorce who reported having been sexually abused as a teenager by an older boy in his family's church. Another trans pioneer cited often is Leyna Bloom—the first transgender model to appear in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit series, and the first transgender actor of color with a leading role in a film screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Raised motherless, Bloom too divulges having been raped as a child, as well as having engaged in the potentially traumatic transactions known as "sex work."

The suggestion that gender migration might owe anything at all to outside influences is vehemently denied by today's establishment. Consider the uproar that greeted journalist Jesse Singal two years ago, following an essay he wrote for the Atlantic called "When Children Say They're Trans." Despite its earnestness and observance of au courant language, the piece nonetheless became a lightning rod—in part because it suggested that environmental factors might be overlooked en route to transition. One therapist told Singal, "I take a full, complete review of systems, and I always take a trauma history. And the vast majority of my patients have trauma histories [emphasis added]."
Evidence also suggests that histories of abuse and trauma are not unique to transgender and non-binary celebrities. As one 2017 article in the journal LGBT Health put it, "Transgender women have consistently reported elevated rates of lifetime physical and sexual abuse." It concluded, "Given these associations as well as the high prevalence of physical and/or sexual abuse among transgender women, mental health professionals and social service providers working with this population should be sensitive to the abuse history and mental health needs of the transgender women with whom they work."
A 2021 article in Pediatrics by a team of researchers found that "violence and victimization is not only widespread among a national sample of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals but that it is often first encountered early in life as childhood abuse." The article also singled out "the growing body of research in which researchers emphasize that TGD adolescents' experiences often include childhood trauma."
As more and more transgender individuals share their personal stories, such statistics take on unexpected new life. Last month, The New York Times ran an essay called "What I Saw in My First 10 Years on Testosterone" by one more path-breaker, Thomas Page McBee. The first transgender man to box in Madison Square Garden, McBee celebrated the new trans confessional-ism. "The tide has turned," McBee wrote. "Our insistence that we be the architects of our own stories has only grown."
McBee's memoir Man Alive: A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness, and Becoming a Man, tells a terrifying story. It recounts years of sexual assault at the hands of the author's own father, beginning when McBee was four. The author writes: "It is still hard to capture the salty terror of the worst of it, the freeze, the split: how I lost a body, or how I conflated the two ways my body was lost to me."
These are searing, terrible words. And they suggest a clear logical leap from hating what is done to one's body, to rejecting that body.
What, if anything, might help the individuals scarred by such sufferings? Trauma deniers dismiss past abuses as inconvenient impediments to hormone shots and surgery. Such indifference ignores research documenting the multiple heavy crosses borne by abuse survivors. As a meta-analysis of studies concluded in a paper for Mayo Clinic Proceedings,"A history of sexual abuse is associated with an increased risk of a lifetime diagnosis of multiple psychiatric disorders." The fact that abuse so often entails other serious problems should alone demand higher scrutiny of any patients with such a history, transgender or otherwise. Given today's transition-first absolutism, a more nuanced approach would be a step forward in itself.
Second, the question of childhood trauma suggests that medical professionals take caution over protocols that put hormones and scalpels first. Their current status as cure-alls surely incentivizes quick-buck diagnosis. It also disincentivizes extended therapy and non-hormonal medications that might deliver authentic, long-term relief.
Trauma deniers insist that transition-forward medical professionals know best. But as history has lately shown, well-meaning doctors buffeted between suffering patients and aggressive medical marketing can make catastrophic mistakes—especially when substantial industry profits are on the line. Last time around, just such a toxic triad produced the greatest self-inflicted public-health catastrophe in American history: the opioid crisis. As we learned then, or should have, the fact that desperate patients will beg doctors for specific products should not trump the Hippocratic Oath.
No one is suggesting a unified field theory about anything as complicated as transgenderism. But at a minimum, the troubling autobiographical details offered up by some transgender and non-binary individuals themselves suggest new grounds for questioning the current consensus.

Leyba trying to make most of opportunity with Orioles; Richie Martin update; Franco, Santander sit
Domingo Leyba, whom the Orioles acquired on waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 4th, is still looking for his first major league hit of 2021.
Leyba, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, played second base and was hitless in four at-bats. While with the Diamondbacks, Leyba was 0-for-22.
"[I'm] really trying not to put a lot of pressure. [I'm] just trying to get a good at-bat, make contact on it," Leyba said through a translator. "Hopefully, the process will lead to better results on the field."
Leyba, who hit .280 in 21 games with Arizona in 2019, has hit well in Triple-A. In 16 games at Triple-A Reno this year, Leyba hit .457 (16-for-35) with four home runs and 14 RBIs in eight games. At Norfolk, Leyba was hitting .279 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 15 games.
"This is a huge opportunity that's been presented to me," Leyba said. "I've been through a lot, so now's the time to put that hard work to work … I do believe this is a new beginning. Hopefully, good things come along."
Manager Brandon Hyde said that he talks with his new players about the chance to earn a job in the major leagues by playing well.
"That definitely comes up in the conversation," Hyde said. "This is a rare opportunity. You play well here right now, you're going to play. You pitch well, you're going to pitch. It's not like that everywhere. It's been like that for a few years.
"I think guys are very aware that this is a unique opportunity to be a major league player right now."
Leyba is playing third base and batting seventh in Monday night's game against the Astros.
Martin progressing: Richie Martin, who underwent surgery in mid-May to repair a broken left wrist, is on the 60-day injured list. Had he been healthy, Martin would have been an easy call to replace the injured Freddy Galvis, who will be out a month or two because of a right quadriceps injury.
"He is starting his hitting progression early-to-mid-July," Hyde said. "He should be playing games in early August if everything goes well."
Franco, Santander sit: Third baseman Maikel Franco, who's hitting .206, his lowest since June 13th, is not in the lineup. Nor is outfielder Anthony Santander, who's hitting .233, his lowest since May 21st when he returned from a month on the injured list because of a sprained left ankle.
"Franco's been struggling, and I wanted to see Pat [Valaika] out there, and I wanted to see Leyba play again," Hyde said. "His [Santander's] ankle is starting to feel a little bit better. He's beating himself up a little bit. Offensively, with the bat, he wants to contribute so bad. It's just not coming right now."
Hyde said that both are healthy and available to play.
Mystery starter for Tuesday: Hyde isn't sure about Tuesday's starter. He could start left-hander Alexander Wells, who pitched two scoreless innings in his major league debut on Saturday. He also could start Adam Plutko or Travis Lakins and make it a bullpen game. The Orioles are off on Thursday.
"Tomorrow's starter has not been announced because we're going to see what happens after our ballgame tonight," Hyde said. "We're going to get through tonight and figure out tomorrow."
Minor Matter: Play began for the two Orioles' teams in the Florida Complex League on Monday.
The Orioles' Black team defeated the Twins, 6-1, in six innings. Jean Pinto pitched four innings, allowing a run on two hits, striking out six and walking one.
Third baseman Coby Mayo, the Orioles' fourth-round draft choice in 2020, made his professional debut and went 1-for-3. First baseman Josue Cruz had two hits, including a home run. Centerfielder Luis Gonzalez, who received a $475,000 bonus to sign with the Orioles in July 2019, had two hits.
The Orioles' Orange team lost to the Pirates Black, 9-0. Connor Loeprich started and pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit. Dan Hammer, the Orioles' 13th-round pick in 2019, allowed four runs without allowing a hit. He walked four and was tagged with the loss.
Most of the players on both teams are recent signees and acquisitions from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
Former Orioles bullpen coach Alan Mills, who managed in the Gulf Coast League in 2019, is managing the Orioles' Black team. Kevin Bradshaw, who managed Aberdeen in 2019, is managing the Orioles' Orange team.
Orioles Hall of Fame luncheon: Longtime Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy, outfielder Mike Devereaux, broadcaster Joe Angel and Orioles superfan Mo Gaba, who died of cancer last July, will be honored at the Orioles' Hall of Fame luncheon on Friday August 6th at 12 p.m. at Camden Yards.
Tickets are available by contacting Keiko Baker (443-596-7691 or [email protected]. Tickets for a pre-lunch VIP reception are also available.
The Hall of Fame ceremony will precede the Orioles-Rays game on August 7th.
Call for questions: Later this week, I'll be answering your Orioles questions. Please leave them in the comment box or email them to: [email protected]


For centuries Finno-Ugric and Slavic peoples have been living in the land of Perm and Vyatka. What is the present for the descendants of these ancient cultures? How do they identify themselves – are they Permyaks or Russians? How do their mutual relations develope? What do they believe in? How to enter the world of a contemporary Russian village? How to hold the impressions one gets in multiple conversations and how to preserve the essence of this wonderful world?
Members of the expedition of Russian Academy of Sciences made their studies in 2005 in the Afanasyevo region of Kirov district, in Ilushi village and around. Dozens of hours of video and audio recordings not only allow researchers to return to passed times, but they may also become the foundation in describing it. Such an effort was made by the authors of the film.

"Before, we were poor but we didn't know it because we lived contentedly in the forest..." Discovering the outside world, the Bagyéli Pygmies have seen that they are very poor. Their hunting culture allowed them to live in the jungle of south Cameroon for thousands of years, but outside they were considered animals or slaves by a society dominated by farmers. And when the Exxon pipeline arrived in the Pygmie's forest aided by the World Bank, our industrial and bureaucratic society is worse than the farmers. Angeline, Marcelline and Pascal are 3 attractive Pygmies who have discovered cars, solid houses and money, and strongly resent the fact that they don't have the right to that. Following their personal dreams of integration, they encounter the complexities of change that the real world imposes on hunter-gatherers. And through their point of view, the film tell us of a universal story about a small population that doesn't want to disappear.

High Rise presents an analysis of the dominant Brazilian classes through a dialogue with the inhabitants of eight penthouse apartments in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Recife. During the film, penthouse residents open up their homes to reveal their thoughts on social inequality, politics, and the world that surrounds them, as well as discussing more intimate subjects such as their desires, dreams, conflicts, insecurities, prejudices and personal histories. Through these dialogues and a poetic visual and sound narrative, the film explores the social and cultural mindset of the elite, and the phenomenon of the 'verticalisation' of the Brazilian cityscape. High Rise is a film about height, status and power and provides an opportunity to question and challenge the elite in a way that has never been done before in Brazilian cinema.

Alongside the film's launch Gabriel is finalizing his third feature film Charming Brasilia Avenue.
In a Romanian village, an elderly couple has been happily married for almost 55 years. Constantin and Elena know that life must end, but are happy with everything that they've had. They fill their days with chores in and around the house, going to church and receiving welcome visitors, not to mention a catnap every now and then. Everything that these two old lovebirds do goes slowly: from helping each other get dressed and climb ladders to weaving Elena's beautiful tapestries. Often they sing old Romanian songs at the tops of their voices, or Constantin's old battle songs from his army days. A cinematic, observational, sometimes voyeuristic look at a way of life and at two lives, both almost extinct.
Andrei started as a radio DJ in his hometown during his teenage years. He then moved to Bucharest to study sound and editing at the Film University. At the same time he worked as a freelance editor and sound engineer for BBC Romania, and on many films including Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth, as assistant to the legendary editor Walter Murch. He produced and directed the award-winning short feature Fly, then made his documentary debut with Constantin and Elena.

Saffron is a precious spice which is mainly grown in Iran, India, Spain, Greece, Italy, Pakistan, Morocco, and central Asian countries. Until recently, saffron was perceived only for its value as a spice. However, with recent research findings pointing to the medicinal properties of saffron such as its antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic and antioxidant effects, interest in this plant has increased. The book presents a comprehensive account of saffron which includes the historical background, acerage underproduction, yield and applications, botanical ecophysiology, production technology, irrigation, pests, diseases and weeds, genetics, sterility, reproduction and production of secondary metabolites by in vitro method, economic aspects, indigenous knowledge in saffron production, processing, chemical composition and quality control, and research strategies.

White House Tailors Health-Law Tweaks for Conservative Appeal
Wall Street Journal (News)
The Trump administration is floating a new health-care proposal aimed at winning over House conservatives that could allow states to opt-out of some requirements in the Affordable Care Act.
The administration's proposal, if it secures the support of the House conservatives, could be turned into legislation that would be part of a broader Republican effort to knock down key parts of the Obama-era health law.

Amazing people at Nicolet bring joy to Stuckenbruck's work
Dr. Emily Stuckenbruck
Nicolet Area Technical College
Dean of Liberal Arts and Business
Since her arrival on the Nicolet College campus just a few years ago, Dr. Emily Stuckenbruck has had quite an impact on the community, even garnering attention for her efforts on a national level.
Stuckenbruck was recently selected to the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) 40 Under 40 list. Honorees to that list demonstrate high potential for success in leadership roles and a strong commitment to the mission of community colleges. She was the only individual selected from the state of Wisconsin as well as the sole dean to receive the honor.
"Since Nicolet College has such a comprehensive dual technical and transfer mission, I was selected," she said. "I'm very humbled."
Stuckenbruck's path to Nicolet is a roundabout one to say the least. A California native, she received her Bachelor's Degree from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She then moved across the country to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her Masters and a PhD in Communication Studies. A Fulbright Fellowship then followed, allowing her to study Irish Gaelic at the National University of Ireland in Galway for a year.
Upon her return stateside, Stuckenbruck headed back to the West Coast to teach. Feeling restless in Los Angeles, she and her husband decided they wanted to live in a place where they had better access to the outdoors and more down-to-earth people. The two then headed to the Northwoods of Wisconsin in 2013 where she was hired by Nicolet College as a Communications instructor.
Now, as Dean of Liberal Arts and Business at Nicolet, Stuckenbruck oversees general education courses, as well as the school's Early Childhood Education, International Study, Graphic Design and Communication, Business, IT, Accounting and Administrative Professional programs.
"Teaching was great because it was wonderful to see people succeed," she explained. "As a dean getting to work with faculty I am one step removed from the students, but I do get to facilitate student success by facilitating faculty excellence."
As her mentor, former Nicolet College interim president Kenneth Urban, once told her, one of her great strengths is her exuberance. "I believe in finding joy at work and having fun," said Stuckenbruck. "I work with really amazing people so it's pretty easy for me to come to work with a smile on my face."
Coming from a 4-year private university system background, she stepped into the technical college system and didn't miss a beat. Early on, "I recognized that my students and my faculty would hold me accountable for the concept that I taught, and the leadership style that I enacted," she explained. "They hold me accountable for making sure that [concept] actually works in the real world and not just in theory land."
"My instructors and I have to bring our best every day because I'm not interested in wasting [students'] time or money. [They] deserve my best every day. That increased accountability is something that I've found really refreshing and invigorating."
One of her proudest accomplishments is the relationship she's developed with one of Nicolet's tribal communities, the Forest County Potawatomi Community. "The tribal administrator contacted me and we were talking about some areas where he wanted to see improvement in tribal employees," she said. "One of the areas was communication."

After deploying four communication courses within the Potawatomi community, a cohort of 30 tribal employees recently graduated from Nicolet College with their Professional Communication Certificates. "That is something I love about the WTCS broadly, but I love in particular about Nicolet," stated Stuckenbruck. "I love that we are responsive to our communities."
On a grander scale, another initiative she is undertaking is building relationships with schools in India. In particular, bringing in Indian students to study accounting. "There is a real premium on Indian students learning American accounting practices," said Stuckenbruck.
In addition to the India outreach, Stuckenbruck heads up two international study trips every year — one to Guatemala and one to London. "I'm really passionate about International Studies, just from my background, living in Ireland and studying overseas," she said.
As an AAWCC 40 Under 40 honoree, Stuckenbruck has already accomplished more than most. With plenty of career ahead of her, there is certainly much more to come.

conducting interviews, training newcomers, HVV's features and collaborations, and finally working on the details for the new website..
I'm still reeling from all that rushing and madness.. and it's not over yet!
3 days later, I leave for a week long trip but not before dealing with some crazy deadlines. I hope to goodness we pull through!
The month was time well spent though, especially the 2 weeks in Melbourne to visit the best friends and to attend class.
It was brilliant brilliant company, comic moments, gossip sessions, emo-weemo nights, vulgar shopping, and good food everyday!
Insert a very rare mush moment.
we're half way across the globe, I know they'll always have my back.
Wipe that look of your faces.
And here's what we woke up to every morning during our trip to Bali.
The view from the villa was seriously gorgeous.
I didn't think the place would look as good as the pictures online but it did!
And ten times more when you get to stand at the edge of the cliff and peer down at the waves beneath.
spend some good old family time together.
Moving on .. I can't wait for the basic renovations for the office to be completed so that I can start designing and furnishing the place.
Me and Mag have been amusing ourselves with the amount of incredible ideas we want to incorporate (all) into the office.
I MUST have a candy floss making machine in the office.
Nevermind that it could possibly be a cow to maintain (my mum's first protest), I will find a way to maintain it.
that have been previously sold as well as those that have never been released at amazing deals.
At the moment, we're still considering though!
that so we're unfortunately a little bit rusty and unsure if the response will be positive.
In the meantime, Imma go back to work and cross my fingers that I can clear everything before my next trip!
Hi there! Hahaha I lol-ed at the candy floss making machine! Your blog is such a joy to read always :) anyways, how often does hvv launch? It always seems like ages! Any idea when's the next launch? :) will the blazer uve been wearing in prev posts be coming up?
If u're gonna conduct sales/housewarming I will definitely try and squeeze myself in for it :) sounds fun!
Clare, yes please to small scale office-warming party :> you know i'll love to pop by haha!!
Hey, where is that place in Bali you stayed in? looks awesome!
Hi Clare, you are studying in Melbourne? Which uni and what degree are you doing? :) You look good, all the best for HVV!
Hi Clare! May I know which hotel/villa you stayed in Bali. If you don't mind. The view is beautiful.
L: haha everyone said i was such an airhead for putting it up. unfortunately hvv has been launching pretty irregularly because ive been flying pretty often and i was back in melb for a couple of weeks due to school anddd we've also been waiting for the office to be ready before we post; everything is just so incredibly messy now!! BUT good news is the office is almost done so we'll be posting soon once we settle down nicely and get more packers/verifiers! and yes, the blazer will be coming up soon as well! :) because i replied this so late (sorry!) its also confirmed that we're gonna have a office-warming party but we're gonna keep it pretty exclusive. we're thinking of how to give passes away but will update about that slightly later on!
