Marc Yacht: Government should not be run like a business
Emails & Opinions Headlines
Winner and Loser of the Week in Florida politics -- Week of January 10, 2021
Marc Yacht
Government is about essential services; business is about profit. Business types have no "business" running government. That is the purview of elected officials.
Government's focus should be on solving problems, not on available dollars. The challenge is to find the resources, not cut the programs. It's a different way of thinking and the best example of a failed businessman-politician is Florida's Gov. Rick Scott.
By "hook or crook," he has become a very successful businessman. But as a governor, he will be rated among the worst. He has been insensitive to the needy, has undermined public education, hurt the environment, and assaulted the health and well being of Florida citizens.
No one likes taxes but everyone wants services. Private enterprise sells a product or service to customers. Government provides essential services to every citizen.
It is not possible to use a business model to run government any more than it is sensible to run a business like a government. Government programs should not be about profits.
For example, public health communicable disease programs are complex. The patient must be treated and then those who have had contact with the patient must be found and examined.
This effort is important to prevent the spread of serious disease such as tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. Florida had one tuberculosis hospital. The most difficult patients were housed there. Florida's Lantana TB hospital enjoyed an international reputation for treatment and training.
A business decision based on costs closed the hospital. Improper patient placement put communities as risk. The hospital closed during one of the most dangerous TB outbreaks in the country that centered on Florida's homeless population. A concerned governor would have worked with public health officials to protect health and welfare.
The high-speed-rail effort could have connected Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Tallahassee, and Pensacola. Scott refused federal money for the train, terminating the project. Thousands of jobs were lost, a long-term plan fell victim to running government like a fortune 500 company.
Purging talent and politicizing the health department and other state agencies moved money and jobs to patronage. The health department lost food service and environmental regulatory authority. Other agency authority was neutralized, putting citizens at risk.
It is difficult to quantify prevention. Professionals understand this. Businessmen-politicians generally do not. Not everything of social value is profitable.
The push to privatize education through charter schools and vouchers continues to undermine public education. It pushes tax dollars to the private sector.
Critical resources to public schools are lost. This is another example of a governor who runs government like a car lot. Public schools cannot be run like a department store; public health cannot be run like Microsoft. Public education needs adequate funding and skilled staff. The "profit" from effective government is better and healthier communities.
Scott's rejection of Affordable Care Act money (Obamacare) is the most egregious decision of his administration. It blocked 1 million Floridians from health coverage. This decision should keep responsible elected officials awake at night. Diseases are left untreated, chronic illness unmanaged, and preventable death unchecked.
A community's quality of life requires limiting the spread of disease, addressing road and bridge repair, public safety and education. Essential services must be improved, not cut. Government must protect the common good. It has never and will never be successfully run as a business.

cardamom, a popular spice in the East – Italian Cuisine
The ideal spice to use in the kitchen, with a different taste to be savored, cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) we can define it fresh, sweet and a little pungent. Belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, the same as turmeric and ginger, its plant resembles a lily, but it can reach three to four meters in height.
Of Indian origin, precisely in the country of Malabar is among the ingredients of curry, while in the East, where it is very common, it is added to coffee. In Italy, however, it is still not very widespread.
It comes in the form of tiny seeds contained in capsules and of different colors: after harvesting they are dried in the sun and then they can be used as they are or reduced to powder, even if the flavor is better preserved in the first case. Among the varieties, the Ceylon cardamom, typical of Sri Lanka, deriving from the plant, is used in the kitchen Elettaria repens, which is also called green cardamom, whose scent is more pronounced. Then there is that Brown which tends towards smoked and that black with an extremely delicate flavor. There is also the white type which are actually artificially lightened greens. After harvesting, they are dried with a laborious process to prevent them from opening. Preserved in this way, they keep their scent much longer. There is also powdered cardamom on the market, obtained by grinding seeds and shells which, however, is much less aromatic. As a reminder, to recover the seeds, to be crushed before use, just open the capsule by applying light pressure with your fingers.
Properties of cardamom
Cardamom has aphrodisiac properties: already in 800 this particular quality had been discovered, moreover it seems that the seeds helped to conquer a person if hidden in an infusion or in a drink. In short, a kind of Cupid. Furthermore, in the ancient Egypt it seems that the seeds were useful for whitening teeth and that some sources have ascertained that it was also used during the phases of embalming as anti-putrefactive. Ah, in India it is a sacred good, because it is considered one communication tool to get in touch with the gods.
But did you know that it was also used to prepare lotions against sore throat? Also, not containing gluten it is ideal for celiacs who will be happy to use it.
The black cardamom
Because it is easier to find and less expensive, the black cardamom it is often used instead of the more precious green cardamom, even if the two varieties have decidedly different aromas (the green one is less bitter and more intense). For its slightly smoky flavor, due to the fire drying process of the pods containing the seeds, black cardamom is not particularly suitable for overly delicate dishes or sweet preparations (for which it is preferable to use the green variety). If you want, you can also add when cooking rice or soups the whole pods, squeezing them slightly but being careful not to let the seeds come out, and then remove them when serving the dish (in this case the cardamom flavor will be more intense). Two or three seeds of cardamom in the cooking water of legumes it helps to make them more digestible and counteracts side effects such as abdominal bloating. Cardamom seeds are also one of the ingredients of garam masala, a mixture of spices widely used in Indian and Pakistani cuisine to flavor rice, while in Arab countries black cardamom, like the green one, is used as a flavoring for tea and coffee. In general, it is better to buy black cardamom in pods because in this way the seeds retain their aroma longer.
This strong-flavored spice has a flavor slightly peppery, with a hint of eucalyptus and lemon, which leaves a feeling of warmth in the mouth without being spicy. Let's say it has a slight minty aftertaste. Its pungent flavor also enhances both fish, meat and vegetables, which is why it must be used sparingly.
In addition to satisfying the palate, it is good for the body in general. Indeed facilitates digestion and helps the intestine when it is irritated. But not only that: it can be used to do infusions against colds and to tone the body. It can also be used as essential oil in the form of massages diluted in a neutral oil.
Cardamom and its recipes
The use of cardamom in the preparation of desserts it is a widespread custom especially in the cuisine of Northern European countries, which also use it for the preparation of liqueurs, including the famous glögg, a typical alcoholic of Sweden. In fact, it goes well with sweet and sour cuisine and with desserts and chocolate creams and mousses.or vanilla, and is a classic ingredient in pain d'épice. The Arabs instead use it to prepare the qahwa, Arab coffee, traditionally considered a tonic and purifier of the blood. This drink is obtained by dosing coffee and cardamom seeds in variable quantities depending on the desired result.
Do you want to experiment in the kitchen by trying your hand at which cardamom-flavored dessert? Try LA CRÈME CARAMEL WITH CARDAMOM, the cardamom and coffee garland, crunchy coffee millefeuille with cardamom scent and – why not – finish in style with cocoa and cardamom coffee with whipped eggnog

Congress Approves an Interim Stimulus Package Adding Over $480 Billion in Funding for Small Businesses, Health Care Providers, and Testing
Apr.23.2020
On April 23, 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection and Health Care Enhancement Act, including additional funding for small businesses, health care providers, and testing. As described in greater detail below, the new package approves over $480 billion in total additional funding for programs addressed previously in the CARES Act. Another stimulus bill addressing the COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated in May.
Increases funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) by $310 billion but does not otherwise alter eligibility for PPP loans or the terms of the loans, although applicants are cautioned to review the most recent Treasury FAQ document, which reflect significant changes as of April 23, 2020, and, in particular to verify eligibility and ability to make the required certification (see our Guidance on this recent development). This increase raises the funding level from $349 billion to $659 billion.
Of the additional $310 billion in PPP funding, sets aside $30 billion for loans to be made by insured depository institutions and credit unions with assets between $10 billion and $50 billion as well as $30 billion for loans to be made by community financial institutions, small insured depository institutions, and credit unions with assets than $10 billion. Community Financial Institutions are defined as: minority depository institutions, certified development companies, microloan intermediaries, and State or Federal Credit Unions
Adds funding of $10 billion for Emergency Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grants and allows agricultural enterprises as defined by section 18(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. §647(b)) with not more than 500 employees to receive EIDL grants and loans.
Adds funding of $50 billion for SBA's 7(b) Disaster Loans Program, which includes EIDL, to remain available until expended.
Adds an additional $75 billion to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund for reimbursement to eligible healthcare providers, e.g., Medicare or Medicaid enrolled suppliers and providers, to reimburse COVID-19 related necessary expenses and lost revenue otherwise not reimbursable from "other sources." This funding is in addition to the $100 billion provided in the CARES Act.
The statutory conditions of this funding are identical to the $100 billion appropriation in the CARES Act. For example, even though HHS' initial distributions from this fund were automatic based on criteria determined by the agency, both Acts require HHS to review applications and make payments on a rolling basis. Further, eligible healthcare providers must submit reports and maintain documentation as deemed by HHS as necessary to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the funding.
Authorizes an additional $25 billion to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency fund for necessary expenses to research, develop, validate, manufacture, purchase, administer, and expand capacity for COVID-19 tests that both detect prior exposure and active infection. This includes support to enable academic, commercial, public health, and hospital laboratories to scale up and conduct surveillance and contact tracing among other activities related to COVID-19 testing. The funding is demarcated as follows:
Within 30 days, $11 billion for states, localities, territories, and tribes to develop, purchase, administer, process and analyze COVID-19 tests, scale-up laboratory capacity, trace contacts, and support employer testing must be allocated. Any State or other recipient of these funds must submit to HHS its plan for COVID-19 testing and goals for 2020;
$2 billion of these funds will be provided to States consistent with the Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant formula, ensuring every state receives funding. These funds shall be allocated within 30 days of the date of enactment of the Act.
$4.25 billion of these funds will be provided to areas based on relative number of COVID-19 cases. These funds shall be allocated within 30 days of the date of enactment of the Act.
$750 million of these funds will be to tribes, tribal organizations and urban Indian health organizations in coordination with the Indian Health Service.
$1 billion to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory capacity expansion, contact tracing, public health data surveillance and analytics infrastructure modernization, disseminating information about testing, and workforce support necessary to expand COVID-19 testing;
$1.8 billion to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop, validate, improve, and implement serological testing and associated technologies; to accelerate research, development, and implementation of point-of-care and other rapid testing; and for partnerships with governmental and non-governmental entities to research, develop, and implement the activities;
$1 billion for Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for advanced research, development, manufacturing, production, and purchase of diagnostic, serologic, or other COVID-19 tests or related supplies;
$22 million for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support activities associated with diagnostic, serological, antigen, and other tests, and related administrative activities;
$825 million for Community Health Centers and rural health clinics; and,
Up to $1 billion may be used to cover costs of testing for the uninsured.
Requires HHS to issue a report on COVID-19 testing no later than 21 days after the date of enactment of the Act, with updates provided every 30 days until the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The report shall include:
data on demographic characteristics, including in a de-identified and disaggregated manner, race, ethnicity, age, sex, geographic region and other relevant factors of individuals tested for or diagnosed with COVID-19; and,
information on the number of cases, hospitalization, and deaths as a result of COVID-19.
Requires HHS to issue a report on the number of positive diagnoses, hospitalizations, and deaths as a result of COVID-19, including data disaggregated nationally by race, ethnicity, age, sex, geographic region, and other relevant factors, and, epidemiological analysis of such data.

Indiana Fever take Game 1 against top seed Chicago Sky
ROSEMONT, Ill.
Shavonte Zellous scored 20 points to lead the defending-champion Indiana Fever in an 85-72 victory over the Chicago Sky in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal series Friday night.
Briann January and Karima Christmas had 16 points each, Erlana Larkins added 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Tamika Catchings scored 11 points for the Fever.
MORE:Fever box score
Elena Delle Donne scored 20 points to lead Chicago after receiving the league's Rookie of the Year award before the game. Epiphanny Prince had 19 points and Sylvia Fowles added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Indiana, the only playoff team with a losing record in the regular season, was in control for most of the night against the conference's top seed. Catchings' basket with 5:36 left in the third quarter gave the Fever a 19-point lead, and the Sky got no closer than 12 the rest of the way against a defense that allowed a league-low 70.5points per game.
"Anytime we shoot 50 percent from the field, we have a great chance to win," Fever coach Lin Dunn said in a news release from the team.
"I am thrilled to come in here short-handed and win this game. This is a great win for us because Chicago is a great team. We know they'll give us their best shot on Sunday."
Game 2 in the best-of-three series is Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Fever had the league's lowest shooting percentage at 39.3, but made 51percent of their shots and had five players score at least 11 points.
For Chicago, it was a disappointing start to the franchise's first playoff appearance. In their eighth season, the Sky had a team-record 24 wins and led the East by seven games. However, they lost to Indiana for the fourth time in five meetings.
The Fever, who lost nine players to injury during the season and four for at least 16 games, were again without forward Katie Douglas. After appearing in just four regular-season games because of a back injury, Douglas did not play after aggravating the injury this week.
The Fever took their first double-digit lead with 6:29 left in the first half when Layshia Clarendon hit a 3-pointer from the right corner, giving Indiana a 37-26 lead. The Fever held a 50-37 advantage at halftime.
Indiana shot 56.7 percent from the floor during the first half, including 66.7 percent on 3-pointers.
Fowles recognized
Fowles was named WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. Catchings, a five-time recipient of the award (2005-06, '09-10, '12), was the runner-up, garnering 16 votes to Fowles' 21.

What is Protein Phosphorylation?
Serum Protein
Protein Phosphorylation
Protein Molecular Weight
Protein Marker
Protein Phosphorylation Sites
Leo Zimmermann
Protein phosphorylation is the attachment of a phosphate (PO4) group to a protein. The new phosphorus group alters the role of the protein: it can activate, deactivate, or cause a change in function. Protein phosphorylation is fairly common in cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. It provides a way for the cell to regulate biological functions without having to change the actual amount of proteins available to perform them.
Phosphorylation only occurs at specific amino acids, such as serine.
A molecule called a protein kinase, sometimes called a phosphotransferase, is responsible for inducing protein phosphorylation. There are many different protein kinases, all with different target proteins. Often, the activity of a protein kinase is itself dependent on phosphorylation. This process is dependent on another kinase. Sometimes a cell uses a string of reactions, called a phosphorylation cascade, to produce an outcome. The impetus for this type of event is usually a signal from outside the cell. Usually, the energy and the phosphate group for these operations comes from adenosine triphosphate, a ubiquitous feature of the cellular landscape.
Once the new phosphate group is added by protein phosphorylation, it changes the structure of its host protein. The shape of a whole protein—called its tertiary structure—is dependent on a variety of factors, including electrical charge. The negative charge of the phosphate group changes the tertiary structure sufficiently to alter the function of the whole protein. Some proteins can be phosphorylated at multiple locations, with different effects resulting from each. Phosphorylation only occurs at specific amino acids: serine, threonine, and tyrosine.
Protein phosphorylation is a crucial element of biological homeostasis. Most cellular processes are stochastic—they rely on a set of partially random interactions that can only be managed statistically. Because most functions are carried out by proteins, the cell's usual way of performing some operation involves making more or fewer of the enzyme that carries it out. This system is relatively slow; it also is more difficult to undo, since most proteins will only stop functioning when they are destroyed.
The effects of protein phosphorylation can be undone by an enzyme called a phosphatase. This process is called dephosphorylation. Dephosphorylation works almost exactly like phosphorylation. Each process requires the other to be useful. It is the possibility of rapidly phosphorylating then dephosphorylating that makes this pathway a finer means of control than the process of generating new proteins from DNA and RNA. The sum of the two processes, including the signals involved in completing them, is called phosphoregulation.

What Is Substrate-Level Phosphorylation?

What is a Phosphodiesterase?

What is GLUT4?
After reading this article, I imagined how proteins works in a single cell. It's really amazing. We are trying to understand the insides of our cells. If we understand completely, it will be the story of us.
@turkay1-- There is actually two sides to disease and protein phosphorylation. Protein phosphorylation can help contain the damage done by disease as well as cause disease itself.
The way it does the first part is that it can destroy cells which have been damaged and cannot function properly. This could be because of disease or something else.
Protein phosphorylation can also contribute to disease if it doesn't work right. This is called abnormal protein phosphorylation. You must have read that protein phosphorylation impacts genes, right? Well, if it doesn't do it's job correctly, it can affect protein expression and cause mutations in our genes.
Scientists think that protein phosphorylation is linked to diseases like cancer, arthritis and diabetes. It's not entirely proven yet because there is the possibility that abnormal protein phosphorylation results from disease rather than being the cause of it. So it's still being studied.
ysmina
@turkay1-- That's right. The main role of protein phosphorylation is to activate protein enzymes. Dephosphorylation works to deactivate them. Protein phosphorylation can deactivate protein enzymes too, but it doesn't happen very often.
When thinking about protein phosphorylation, remember that it is not a rigid process. Phosphorylation will do whatever is necessary at that point in time. It could activate or deactivate proteins, it cause them to bind or break off. We can't say that protein phosphorylation only does one type of activity and the activity can change from protein to protein.
Protein phosphorylation is a regulatory process, so how it acts depends on what is necessary to regulate the cell environment at that point.
There are actually quite a few ways to measure protein phosphorylation. I think most of them do a protein assay, or antibody and kinase assays. They basically analyze samples and check for proteins, protein phosphorylation antibodies or protein kinases. It gives a pretty good idea of how much phosphorylation is taking place and what it is doing.
candyquilt
Thank you for this great article. I was looking for some extra information to help me with my homework and this is helping a lot.
I just need some clarification about phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Since dephosphorylation undoes the work done by phosphorylation, does this mean that phosphorylation can only activate proteins and dephosphorylation can only deactivate?
The other thing I'm curious about is how disease fits into all of this. Can a virus or bacteria mess up this whole process? Can doctors and scientists do a protein phosphorylation assay to diagnose disease, for example?

Over its six decades in print (1960-2020) the legendary Surfer magazine was considered to be the bible of surfing and surf culture. This carefully curated anthology, showcasing the best covers and interior pages serves as a quintessential reference guide to the history of surfing, surf style and design.
Founded in 1960 by surfer, artist, and filmmaker John Severson, Surfer was the longest continuously published surf magazine, referred to as "the bible of the sport." Surfer was firmly established as the sport's leading voice, serving as a template for a small but growing number of surf magazines around the world. Featuring a mix of travel articles, contest reporting, surf spot profiles, big wave pictorials, and surfer interviews, Surfer worked with the world's best photographers, writers, and graphic designers. This voluminous anthology features the most time-less, inspirational, and historically significant covers and interior pages from the magazine's extensive archive and depicts the chronological progression of the sport, the gear, the style, and the world's top surfers throughout the decades, from Mickey Dora to Kelly Slater and Laird Hamilton.
This is the perfect book for those who surf or spend time in the ocean and for anyone interested in a historical reference guide to modern day surfing and its highly influential style and subculture.
Grant Ellis was the photo editor of Surfer magazine for 17 years (2003–2020). He is the photo editor at Surfer's Journal and continues his career as a surf photographer.

Bail has been granted to a teen charged with stabbing her child's father after the Crown failed to update the court on whether the virtual complainant had been discharged from the hospital.
After spending a week in police custody, Omega Cupid, 18, of Largo Heights, was on Wednesday allowed bail in the sum of $6,000 with one surety.
Cupid is charged that on December 17, 2016 at Glen, she wounded Desmond Chance, 23, of Glen, with intent.
She was not allowed to plead, as the charge is indictable. However, when she appeared before the court on December 20, 2016, the Crown asked that bail be denied, as Chance was nursing his wounds at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH).
The Crown also asked that Cupid's bail hearing be postponed for one week to await a report on Chance's prognosis from the doctor.
But when she reappeared before the court, the prosecution was unable to inform the court whether or not Chance had been discharged from the hospital.
And so, magistrate Bertie Pompey granted Cupid bail, but warned her to stay away from the victim Chance.
Police say that Chance was stabbed twice at the back of his neck, three times in his back and three times in his shoulder.
According to the investigating officer, Chance was stabbed with a 10cm blade, and suffered from nine cm deep stabs.
He was discharged from the MCMH on December 20, 2016 after being hospitalized for three days.

I had never heard an account of the morning of 9/11 in this much detail until I met the amazing Michelle. Watch our interview, read the timeline of events below and leave your comments. Thanks for watching and sharing Michelle's story.
Taking the elevator to the 95th Floor of Two World Trade Center was something that had become a mindless, involuntary action for all of us who worked there. Our offices at Fiduciary Trust had consisted of the 90th to 97th Floors, with a few unoccupied floors in between. I had been working at Fiduciary for over two years, and it had become a second home to me.
8:40 a.m. I arrived at my desk when I noticed that no one else in my group was there. It was still early, and relaxing a bit before the day began was what I would normally do on any ordinary workday. Yet, what I thought was the beginning of any other ordinary workday became much more. It began as the most terrifying day of my life.
8:43 a.m. I received a call from a friend of mine and I had told him I had come into work early to finish a project I was working on the night before. When asked how the remainder of my day looked, I replied, "I'm going to have a really busy day ahead of me, so I'd better start it." Almost immediately after I hung up the phone, there was an unforgettable sound – the roar of an airplane engine.
It's ironic that despite how high up we were, we hardly noticed any aircraft overhead. Yet today, we heard this one. The next sound we heard was what sounded like an earthquake, then a bomb. A woman on the Northeast side of our floor screamed, and as I quickly arose from my chair to see what the commotion was, our windows shattered. "What was that?!" I screamed. Someone yelled, "I think a plane just hit Tower 1! Everybody get out of the building!" I grabbed everything I brought in with me that morning (my purse and briefcase), and ran towards the nearest exit, which was approximately 10 feet from my desk.
I was running for my life, not knowing what would happen next, when I saw my co-worker Lori running out as well. We headed for the elevator, then I stopped. I asked her, "Shouldn't we be taking the stairs in an emergency like this?" and she replied, "No! Just get in the elevator! C'mon!" We dashed into the elevator and held the door as our co-worker Andrew ran in. All three of us looked at one another in disbelief. An eerie feeling stirred throughout my body. For a moment, I thought I was dead; as if our Tower, 2, had been hit. Then the elevator stopped. The doors opened to the 90th Floor.
Occupying the 90th floor were the Legal and Human Resources departments. The elevator door opened, and all that was heard were the screams of panicked employees. Lori and I pleaded with them to come into the elevator, but no one did. The door then closed. Why didn't they go? This question haunts me every day, due to the fact that many of the people on the 90th Floor who were there that day are missing.
We landed on the 78th Floor, which was one of the main elevator banks at Tower 2. Lori and I ran to the nearest elevator we could find, and shoved our way in. A woman in front of us said, "That's it! No more people!" I looked behind me, and there were two men – scrambling to get on another elevator.
When the elevator stopped at the ground floor, I looked to my left. Liberty Street, which is the main entrance used by many Trade Center employees, was in ruins. Debris from the Tower and office papers engulfed the sidewalk. I watched as security guards led people away from the street outside, when I took my cell phone from my purse and called my manager, Joanie.
Still not really knowing what happened, I said, "Joanie! I think there was an explosion in the World Trade Center!" She asked me to hold as she turned on the television. "Oh my God! A plane just hit the Trade Center!" For whatever reason, I asked her if I should go back upstairs. Joanie relentlessly said, "No! You go home and call me as soon as you can." When I ended the call, I heard someone on the PA system say that there were no problems with Tower 2 and workers should go back to their desks. I decided to walk out. I saw a few co-workers in the lobby, including my former manager, Chris, who inquired if I was ok. Andrew, who just recently underwent knee surgery, became my rock.
10:03 a.m. We walked to Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport, where many took refuge. Almost all cell phone service was down, yet I remembered I had the ability to send and receive e-mail messages on my Palm Pilot. Shaking uncontrollably, I e-mailed my friend Joe to tell him I was fine and asked that he call my family to let them know I was ok.Andrew went to a payphone nearby to call his family, when a third rumble came. Tower 2 looked as if it was about to topple on us; onlookers by the masses ran in terror towards the edge of the pier, prepared to leap into the water below. "We're trapped," I said to myself. "This is it." The Tower fortunately collapsed onto itself, which instantly gave me the initiative to begin my journey home.
We decided to start walking up the FDR Highway, which was filled with people, clearly distraught and covered in soot, making their way uptown. Andrew turned to me and said, "Tower 2 is going to collapse." I believe that in the shock of what I and so many other people just witnessed, I numbly shook my head. We had barely made it past the Seaport when Tower 1 inevitably collapsed.
12:30 p.m. After two and a half hours of walking and trying to get cell phone service, we wound up on 35th Street and 3rd Avenue, in Midtown. Andrew noticed a cab driver who had pulled up along the curb in front of us and agreed to drive me home – at no charge. I said a somewhat emotional goodbye to Andrew, who in this traumatic time had truly been there for me. I was elated to know that he would be able to take the ferry home to New Jersey. To Andrew, God Bless You. You're an angel.
3:10 p.m. We finally arrived in my neighborhood and made one last desperate attempt to call into my voicemail. There were 13 messages left from family and friends. It was the first time that day when I broke down and cried. I had survived a terrorist attack. I'm alive.
Although I have yet to receive counselling for the circumstances surrounding the attack, I've learned that expression through words has become my strongest outlet to recovery. I've taken into deep consideration all my friends and colleagues desperately trying to reach me during that incredibly trying day of September 11th. Every conversation has ended with a sincere "I love you," or "I miss you," and the emotional support has been phenomenal. To my family and friends, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all, and God Bless You. I Will Recover. To read more about my journey here is an article from Day 2, the morning after.
On September 15, 2011 my husband Randy Rosado and I met with one of the 9/11 Memorial curators and donated our co-authored book, "Pursuing Your Destiny: How to Overcome Adversity and Achieve Your Dreams" as well as my photo of the World Trade Center on September 7, 2001. Both will be display upon the museum's opening in the Spring of 2014. While the book is not about 9/11 per se, it does describe my personal experience as I escaped from the 95th floor of Tower 2 when the first plane crashed into Tower 1.
One of the most important lessons I've learned about this day in American history is that we are all ONE, and regardless of what hurtful past we've endured, our most precious gift is our present moment. We can live in this moment and still embrace the memories of yesterday with love and understanding.
What are your feelings about the exhibits in the upcoming 9/11 Museum? Please share your comments below.

View Full Version : Content needed - All Great Women!
I'm currently working to launch a new site dedicated to women and women's issues - All Great Women! We plan to launch this summer and really need content. I'd like to reach out to any writers or aspiring writers. We'll pay for all content.
We've set up a splash page at http://allgreatwomen.weebly.com/ for anyone that may be interested. I hope you will please take a look.
Can you provide more details of the rate of pay? Do you have a target audience (beyond women, of course—age category; country; lifestyle etc.)?
I just sent my information too. I'll update if I hear anything.
allgreatwomen, please see our sticky, "Rules of the Paying Markets Forum (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11828)--Please Read Before Posting a New Thread." Among other things, it asks that you state your pay rate (per word or per item-of-x-number-of-words) in the thread title. You can contact the board's moderator to add to your thread title, since it's already posted.
Why? We've had longstanding issues with people critical of pay rates, especially if they had to read the post here, find the publication's website, find submission guidelines, and only then find the pay rate was one they would not consider. Complete transparency of pay rates, putting them right in the subject line, means writers know immediately whether your post is one they need open or not, leaving no room to be critical.
In the meantime, if you will edit your post to include pay rates, that will go far. And please, don't fret if they're not as high as you'd like to pay. Everybody starts somewhere, and the fact that you pay is a perfectly good start.
I signed up, but wonder at the pay, since it just says they pay well.
I have yet to hear anything.... Anyone else hear anything yet?
One week later, it's looking like a drive-by. I speak only for myself, of course, but I won't submit to anything without having some clue what they're paying. Their 'pay well' may not be mine (or may exceed my wildest dreams), but without information, it's a no-go here.
I sent my info right after this was posted. Haven't heard a thing.
This is a question, looking for better ways of dealing with this sort of thing.
Let's assume we're dealing with a legit business, that has work for hire writing.
Were someone to contact /require all posters to this sub-forum to answer basic, standard questions--what would be the BASIC things you'd want them to post in an ad/solicitation for writers?
What would be the format /info you'd want?
I sent my info also.
I'd like to see this discussion in its own thread, since a lot of people may never find it in this one. Any chance of that?
I don't know the technical aspects of such things, but could we incorporate form fields for new threads in "Paying Markets" or even in "NonPaying Markets" where required fields such as those noted here are specified?

Home Awards Oscars: Voting Begins With No DGA and PGA For Early Voters
Clayton Davis
Sound the alarms, the official voting for the 92nd Academy Awards has opened up and members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences are making their selections on the very best of 2019.
So where are we at this moment?
Prediction wise…we're all over the place. As we learned last year (and just about every year), the Academy will do what they want to do, and with such an historic year for film at their feet, the critics awards, as well as the guilds, haven't really provided them with too much of a roadmap on what they should nominate.
If you are following along on The Circuit Hub, NEON's "Parasite" still sits in the top spot but the ranking has been fluid all season long. If you listened to our most recent episode of Circuit Breaker, there seems to be a consensus of six films that look "good" for a Best Picture nomination:
"1917" (Universal Pictures)
"Jojo Rabbit" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
"Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood" (Sony Pictures)
"Parasite" (NEON)
To be honest, the inclusion of "Jojo Rabbit" makes me more nervous than most but I'm willing to concede that the SAG Ensemble nomination really meant something.
After those six movies, we are looking for either two or three more entries to fill out the rest of the nomination list since the likelihood of getting ten Best Picture nominees is almost impossible.
"Bombshell" received the biggest of boosts from SAG, co-leading the nomination day and we have to go back to 2007's "Into the Wild" for a film that led SAG nominations and didn't translate to Oscar's Best Picture.
"Joker" has the billion dollar story that has followed it, with a big and focused campaign from Warner Bros., who are gunning for more than just nominations. Joaquin Phoenix seems to be a true challenger (some will say frontrunner) in Best Actor, while the film could also rally some support in multiple tech races including Cinematography, Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, and Original Score.
"Little Women" blasted through the Critics Choice body with major nominations and support. It's a bit unclear if the film is really beloved with voting members or if it's just a "critics thing" as multiple members haven't really exuded a lot of passion for it.
And then there are the ones that Film Twitter, pundits, critics, PR reps, and awards Gods are praying get the love we all think they deserve. That includes Netflix's "Dolemite Is My Name" and "The Two Popes," A24's "The Farewell," "Uncut Gems," and "Waves," Paramount Pictures' "Rocketman," Sony Pictures' "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood," Universal Pictures' "Us," Lionsgate's "Knives Out," Amazon Studios' "Honey Boy" and "The Report," STX's "Hustlers," Fox Searchlight's "A Hidden Life," Sony Pictures Classics' "Pain and Glory," Roadside Attractions' "Judy" and "The Peanut Butter Falcon," Walt Disney Pictures' "Avengers: Endgame," and Warner Bros.' "Just Mercy" and "Richard Jewell."
That's a long list and they each have their own obstacles in terms of audience consensus and awards momentum.
Honestly, it's hard to justify a prediction that includes any of those films listed above without having additional knowledge from Academy members that there's a rally behind each film. Speaking to dozens over the past few weeks, everyone is naming a different favorite of the year, with some "not getting to that one" yet in regards to their screener pile.
The abbreviated Phase 1 season has really put some films in positions that both seem doomed and hopeful. A last-minute watch may propel something forward like "Just Mercy" but it's hard to determine its placement.
To add one more very important point, the DGA (Directors Guild of America) and PGA (Producers Guild of America) award nominations have not been announced and don't announce until Tuesday, Jan. 7, the FINAL day for Oscar voting. The Academy is "blindly" choosing so to speak, which may yield some interesting selections. Look at inclusions such as "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Darkest Hour," and "The Tree of Life."
But where there is a "yin," there is a "yang," and we could prepare for selections that ARE NOT as "special" or "exciting" as we want them to be. Look back at nominees like "The Reader," "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," and "The Blind Side."
So at this current march, there's a shrug of "no idea" among pundits. Biggest shifts and changes made to the predictions, which you likely heard in real-time on the Circuit Breaker episode, is the moving of Leonardo DiCaprio to #1 for "Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood." Best Actor is FAR too packed to think that someone big won't miss, or someone surprising won't win.
You can find the latest predictions on THE COLLECTIVE and full rankings on THE CIRCUIT HUB!
How many Best Picture nominees do you think we'll have? Who do you think is the frontrunner? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

USB Versions
Excerpt from: "How to be USB Smart"
So far there have been five different versions of USB each brings many improvements. Each version of USB is some times backward and forward compatible. This being the case though you won't always receive all of the new features.
USB 1.x
Released in January 1996 USB 1.0 had low bandwidth of 1.5 Mbit/s. Then in August, they released USB 1.1 with 12 Mbit/s. At the time of the release of USB 1.0 speed of 1.5-12 Mbit/s was pretty quick but not to today's standards.
USB version 2.0 was a more favorable release of the USB standard. Released in 2000 it would quickly become the dominant standard. With speeds up to 480 Mbit/s this was truly the better option. For the next eight years, USB 2.0 would be the default standard for all USB devices. This is the first version to offer multiple connection types. So if you are using an older USB device chances it's s USB 2.0 port.
USB 3.0 and above are commonly found with blue ports with blue plugs. Also called SuperSpeed USB or 3.1 Gen(eration) 1. USB 3.0 can have speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s or 625MB/s. compared to USB 2.0's 480 Mbit/s, version 3.0 is a huge upgrade.
USB 3.1 Gen(eration) 2 was compatible with "SuperSpeed+" which means up to 10Gbit/s or 1250MB/s. At this point, USB was starting to catch up to the speeds in Intel's Thunderbolt.
USB 3.2 released in July of 2017 can double the transfer rate of any certified existing USB 3.1 Gen 1 and 2. This means that with a USB 3.2 port USB 3.1 Gen 1 can now reach speeds of 10Gbit/s and USB USB 3.1 Gen 2 can now reach speeds of 20Gbit/s.

Evil Corp: US charges Russians over hacking attacks
US authorities have filed charges against two Russian nationals alleged to be running a global cyber theft operation named Evil Corp.
An indictment named Maksim Yakubets and Igor Turashev - who remain at large - as figures in a group which used malware to steal millions of dollars in more than 40 countries.
Those affected by the hacks include schools and religious organisations.
It is also alleged that Mr Yakubets worked for Russian intelligence.
Speaking at a news conference, Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said the attacks were among "the worst computer hacking and bank fraud schemes of the past decade".
Mr Yakubets is accused of leading Moscow-based Evil Corp, while Mr Turashev allegedly acted as an administrator. The pair are thought to be resident in Russia.
Largest reward yet for cyber-criminalThursday`s indictment came after a multi-year investigation by the FBI, and by Britain`s National Crime Agency (NCA) and Cyber Security Centre.
US authorities allege that the group stole at least $100m (£76m) using Bugat malware - known as Dridex.
The malware was spread via email with so-called "phishing" campaigns, which encouraged victims to click on malicious web links.
Once a computer was infected, the group stole personal banking information which was used to transfer funds.
A network of money launderers - targeted by the NCA and Britain`s Metropolitan Police - were then utilised to funnel the criminal proceeds to members of E Corp. Eight members of this network have been sentenced to a total of over 40 years in prison.
US authorities said Mr Yakubets was also involved in a similar scheme using another form of malware - known as Zeus - which stole $70m from victims` bank accounts.
In a separate statement, the US Treasury alleged that, since 2017, Mr Yakubets had worked on projects for the Russian state, including the theft of confidential documents and "cyber-enabled operations".
The department said it had rolled out sanctions against 17 individuals and seven "entities," including businesses associated with a member of the group.
A $5m reward has been offered for information leading to their arrest and prosecution. The US Department of Justice said the amount was the largest offered for a cyber criminal to date.
