January 9, 1916 Jerome Heartwell "Brud" Holland, education administrator and diplomat, was born in Auburn, New York.
Holland graduated from Cornell University, where he was the first African American to play on the football team and an All-American in 1937, 1938, and 1939. Despite his athletic abilities, the National Football League ignored him because of his race. Holland earned his master's degree in sociology from Cornell in 1941 and his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1950.
Holland served as president of Delaware State College from 1953 to 1959 and of Hampton Institute from 1960 to 1970. In 1970, President Richard Nixon appointed him ambassador to Sweden, a position he held for two years. In 1972, Holland became the first African American to sit on the board of the New York Stock Exchange, a position he held until 1980. Holland also served on the boards of several major corporations, including AT&T and General Motors. He served as chairman of the American Red Cross Board of Governors from 1980 to 1985 and its blood laboratory is named in his honor.
Holland died January 13, 1985 and on May 23 of that year was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President Ronald Reagan. Holland was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1965 and in 1972 the National Collegiate Athletic Association awarded him the Theodore Roosevelt Award, the highest honor conferred on an individual by that organization.

North America is in the midst of its most serious drug-overdose crisis in history. From 1999 through 2015, drug-overdose deaths approximately tripled in the United States, and the majority of such deaths now involve an opioid. In 2016 alone, there were 64,000 drug-overdose deaths in the United States — more than the total number of U.S. military deaths during the Vietnam War. As a result, and despite gains in other areas of medicine and public health, the United States recently experienced its first major decline in life expectancy since 1993.

Jonathan Isaac writes book with conservative pundit Ben Shapiro
The Daily Wire announced Monday morning that NBA star and outspoken Christian Jonathan Isaac will publish his first book with the media company's imprint, DW Books. Isaac was the sixth pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, taken by Orlando Magic. In July of 2020, he was one of the only the NBA players to stand for the national anthem as other players kneeled during league-wide demonstrations for the Black Lives Matter movement. The book titled, "Why I Stand," shares Isaac's story of how, through a series of divine connections and unwavering faith, he found the courage to stand for his beliefs in the face of unprecedented pressure to follow the crowd.

After a shaky one-inning relief performance, in which he gives up the go-ahead run, Anthony Young's record-setting 27-game losing streak comes to an abrupt end when the Mets score twice in the ninth for a 5-4 walk-off victory over Florida at Shea Stadium. The infamous streak, which covered a span of 81 appearances over two seasons, included 14 losses as a starter and 13 as a reliever. "That wasn't even a big monkey that was on my back. It was a zoo. The guys treated it like I had won a World Series game for them." – Anthony Young, commenting on his teammates' reaction to the end of his 27-game losing streak.
Cardinals OF Chick Hafey, with eight straight hits in his two previous games, gets two more before the Phils' "Fidgety Phil" Collins stops him. His 10-for-10 streak ties the National League record. The Cards win 7 – 4.

Hello, Mr. Major General
Chapter 1760 - The Best Ending for Our Relationship
Chapter 1760: The Best Ending for Our Relationship
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Nianzhi's question was actually very flawed.
If Qin Yaoguang had a decent lawyer by her side, they would have immediately stood up and objected to her question, because her words had a strong sense of leading and supposition.
However, what she had done could only be said to be unrighteous, but it was not illegal.
Even the judge would not take the initiative to say that she could not induce the defendant, or that she could not use conjecture as evidence to interrogate the defendant.
This was to leave room for the lawyers on both sides to fight it out.
If your lawyer's skills were inferior, you would inevitably lose.
Sometimes, things in court were as simple as that.
The young and inexperienced lawyer next to Yaoguang was dizzy from listening to her. He was no longer in the proper state of mind to object to her question.
Therefore, Nianzhi repeated herself, "Ms. Qin Yaoguang, eight years ago, you conspired with Wen Dayou and his wife, along with your biological daughter, Wen Shouyi, to kidnap me. What was the reason for that? What were the results you were hoping to achieve by using me to conduct human experiments?!"
Yaoguang's pupils instantly constricted, and the thoughts in her mind bounced around violently. It felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat anytime.
She stared at Nianzhi in disbelief. She couldn't believe that she was still clinging to this topic.
In a moment of desperation, Yaoguang suddenly caught a glimpse of He Chengjian sitting in the gallery. She looked at him affectionately and turned to look at the aggressive Nianzhi in front of her, she sneered, "I won't admit to something I didn't do. I won't deny what I did. I only used you to donate bone marrow to Mr. He to treat his illness. When have I ever used you as a human experiment? Show me the evidence! Otherwise, stop speaking nonsense, framing the innocent, and misleading the judge!"
Donating bone marrow was a common method of treatment, so it couldn't be said to be human experimentation.
Everyone knew this fact.
Soon after hearing that, everyone in the court became relieved.
Nianzhi followed Yaoguang's gaze in surprise.
How did Yaoguang suddenly become smarter?
Her gaze wandered over to the side of the gallery. Chengjian suddenly spoke to the personal secretary next to him.
The personal secretary immediately signaled the bailiff stood nearby.
The bailiff then quickly walked over from the corridor next to the gallery and stood behind the judge. He lowered his head and whispered into the judge's ear, "The chief is not feeling well. Can we adjourn for ten minutes?"
The judge immediately nodded, "Does he require a healthcare doctor to come over and check on him?"
"They said it's not necessary. They have an accompanying healthcare doctor."
The judge promptly rapped his gavel and announced, "Someone is not feeling well, hence we'll take a 10-minute break. The court will be back in 10 minutes."
Nianzhi did not know what was going on, but Yaoguang secretly smiled.
Nianzhi was naively hoping to expose that incident, but Yaoguang knew full well that someone didn't want it to be exposed, so he would definitely protect her.
Yaoguang raised her head and slowly sat down while looking at Nianzhi with an enigmatic smile, "I advise you to stop rambling around. Didn't you say that I shouldn't have kidnapped you? Can't I just admit to my crime?"
She scoffed and was led out by the bailiff to a holding cell to be locked up.
Nianzhi turned around in confusion and happened to see He Zhichu with a frosty expression on his face. He swiftly followed Chengjian out.
Xie Qingying chased after him for a short distance but was held back by Zhichu's personal secretary.
He politely said, "Miss Xie, Mr. He has something important to discuss with the chief. Please wait a moment."
Qingying had no choice but to stop in her tracks. She gripped the handle of her Hermes Kelly bag tightly with both hands and asked worriedly, "Uncle He didn't look well just now, is he ill?"
"We have a healthcare doctor accompanying us. Please don't worry," he replied as he quickly chased after Zhichu.
Chengjian did not stop walking and left the court without turning back.
He did not stop by any of the rooms but instead just left for his private car.
Zhichu followed closely behind him to the car.
"… Get out of the car!" he growled at Chengjian's driver.
The driver looked back at his employer at a loss, "Chief…"
He only obeyed Chengjian's orders.
Chengjian then raised his hand expressionlessly.
Upon receiving the order, the driver hastily opened the car door and got out. He then closed the car door and stood guard around the bulletproof car with both their personal secretary and the guards.
They stood a good distance apart from each other. It was just enough to protect the entire car, but not too close with one another.
Even if they stood close to the car door, they would not be able to hear anything from within the car.
This was because the car was specially designed. Once the doors were closed, it was as if it became a separate world of its own. The soundproofing effect was exceptionally good.
The curtains were raised over the dark tinted car windows, blocking the view from the outside world.
Now that no one else was around, Zhichu gritted his teeth and asked, "Dad, is what Nianzhi said true?! Did Yaoguang really use her as a human experiment?! Just to treat my illness?!"
Yaoguang had said in court that she was only helping to "donate bone marrow". Those words could fool any ordinary person, but not Zhichu, the main person involved in this incident.
Judging from Yaoguang's attitude towards Nianzhi all these years, he did not believe at all that Yaoguang merely made Nianzhi "donate some bone marrow".
Moreover, he also believed that Nianzhi's sudden accusal of Yaoguang performing "human experiments" on her was definitely not a random frame-up.
He looked at his father in shock and doubt. His heart sank when he recalled how Chengjian had left the courtroom in a hurry.
However, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He just kept falling, without ever reaching the bottom. It was the most torturous feeling he had ever experienced.
Chengjian snorted coldly, "I don't know if she did it or not. I only know that she cured your illness. This matter ends here! Don't pursue it any further!"
Zhichu was extremely disappointed and shocked.
It was as if someone had scalded him from the inside out with boiling water, and proceeded to put him in ice water to freeze him from the inside out.
He could barely think properly in the clash of heat and cold.
His head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split open. He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Dad, tell me the truth. My illness, how exactly was it cured?!"
He had originally thought that it was as stated by Yaoguang, that Nianzhi's bone marrow was the same as his, and a "bone marrow donation" could be used to cure his congenital genetic defect.
But judging from Yaoguang and his father's reactions today, it was not that simple.
He even remembered the earth-shattering argument between his mother, Qin Suwen, and his father when she was still alive.
Although he had not heard what the argument was about first-hand, he could still recall how his mother had packed up and was preparing to leave home and live apart from his father.
The person who had stopped his mother from leaving at that time was none other than little Nianzhi, who had been sent over by Gu Xiangwen.
The six-year-old Nianzhi was pale and timid. When no one was looking, she would hide under the table.
That pair of timid, frightened, and helpless eyes would forever remain in the memories of the sixteen-year-old boy.
Zhichu closed his eyes, and tears quietly seeped out from the corners of his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, revealing a revolver in his hand, pressing against his temple.
"Dad, are you still not going to tell me? Fine, if you don't, I don't want to live anymore. If I'm alive because of a human experiment on another innocent girl, this kind of life is sinful and shameful. Dad, I can't continue living like this. I am going to meet my mother."
Zhichu said coldly. Right when his finger was about to pull the trigger, Chengjian quickly took out a gun and aimed it at his temple, and replied, "Fine, if you're not alive anymore, I have no reason to live either. Your mother is gone, and you are my only hope of survival. If you want to leave, I'll go with you, and our family of three can be reunited in the afterlife."
Zhichu was stunned for a moment. Chengjian quickly reacted by grabbing Zhichu's revolver wielding arm with his other hand and aimed it at his other temple, "Ah Chu, you don't have to die. You can kill me to pay Nianzhi with my life!"
Zhichu felt a strong burning sensation within him. It was as if he was being tormented in a pot of boiling oil. He held back the tears that were about to pour out of his eyes and roared in a low, hoarse voice, "Are you admitting that you know about the immoral and inhumane things Yaoguang did to Nianzhi?!"
"How old was she then? Two years old?! How could you do that to a two-year-old child?!"
"I don't know!" Chengjian closed his eyes and yelled, "But if this is the only way to save your life, I will gladly oblige!"
He did not know nor did he want to know how Yaoguang had treated his illness. He only wanted to save his son. It was that simple.
It did not matter if his wife disagreed.
It also did not matter if his son did not understand.
He had only done what he had to do as a father.
He wouldn't tell Zhichu about Yaoguang's promise, that she would only use Nianzhi's blood, bone marrow, and genes.
Chengjian didn't understand medicine or biology so he fully believed in Yaoguang's ability to work on this matter.
Indeed, he had made the right bet, but he hadn't expected the truth behind this matter to be so ugly and unbearable.
However, if he had to do it all over again, if Yaoguang personally told him that his son could only be saved by carrying out human experiments, what would he do?
Would he rather have his son die than agree to the terms?
Chengjian knew that he would not, that's why he did not shirk the responsibility.
"Regardless of what happened, I would never interrupt in this matter, because she was the only one who could save your life." Chengjian's voice was old and deep, unyielding and stubborn, "If you are not satisfied, I will give you an answer. Once I have arranged my work properly, I will resign and commit suicide. I will pay with my life!"
Zhichu looked at his father in a daze. He deeply understood the feelings of his mother.
Had she ever been so helpless too?
Had she also been in so much pain that she wished she could die instead of letting them harm that innocent little girl?
"No, Dad, you don't have to die. The one who deserves to die is me," Zhichu said word by word, "If I had died earlier, Nianzhi wouldn't have been tortured like this. I shouldn't have been born!"
"Ah Chu!" Chengjian looked at him sternly, "I forbid you to say that! You are the son of Suwen and me, our pride! Your illness is because Mom and Dad have let you down. If there's anything wrong, I will bear it alone!"
"What's the use of bearing it? The damage has already been done…" Zhichu's heart was empty as if he was dreaming, "I used to hate her for losing her memories before she was 12 years old. I hated her for forgetting me. But now knowing that she had forgotten me, that feels like the best ending for our relationship."

What types of vendors do you allow?
As an organization committed to the arts, all items sold at our fair must be handmade by the vendor. We do not allow any direct sales or resale.
Can I share a booth with a friend or buy the half booth next to me?
As a rule we tend to discourage sharing booths. If you want to apply this way, please note that both vendors have to be juried separately. One may be accepted and the other one not. Also, if your crafts do not mesh well together in theme/content, we will not consider a shared booth.
For previous vendors, we will occasionally allow half booths if space allows. The most common instance of this is two vendors side by side who want to share a booth in between, giving them each a booth and a half. We do not however just sell half booths.
How will I know if I've been accepted or declined?
We will notify you via email about your acceptance status. Please allow approximately 4 weeks from the time you submit your application.
How do I apply to your fair?
Read through the application instructions and rules. Download the application to your computer, fill it out (pdf is fillable online, but must be printed), print it and send it in with your fee. If you are a new exhibitor you will also need to submit photos--either electronically to ffacraftfairapps@gmail.com or with your application in the mail.
How long does the jury process take?
We are a completely volunteer-run organization of parents (with kids, jobs, activities, etc.). We do our best to jury at least once a month. Occasionally we will jury more frequently (before summer and close to fair time) and sometimes it may take a little longer (the summer months). We appreciate your patience with this process.
Can I purchase a lunch for Fair Day?
If you would like a bag lunch delivered to your booth, you must complete and send along the Lunch Order Form, and include an additional $6 per lunch in your check. For Exhibitors who do not pre-order lunch, there will be food available for purchase, but it will not be delivered to your booth.
I am new to craft fairs and don't have a photo of my booth. What do I do?
There are two options here. Set up a smaller, mock display at home and send us a photo of it. Or, describe your intended booth set up. We just want to make sure that booths are tasteful in their presentation.
What is a "creative process" photo?
The creative process photo shows you making your art. Whether you are at your kitchen table or in a fancy setting, we want to see you in that photo doing what you do--not just your supplies, or your hands, or a photo shopped person. We are committed to a handmade show and we hope you are too.
When is set up and do I need to bring my own tables and chairs?
Set up begins at 7:00 a.m. on the day of the fair. We unfortunately are limited to this timing due to other school activities on Saturday. You are responsible for bringing your own tables and chairs. Though if you forget a chair, we will have chairs available for "rent" with a refundable $10 deposit on fair day.

Optimism and Challenges of Returning to School
"How is he?"
As a child neurologist, this is one of the most common questions I'm asked and one of the hardest to answer. As I stand at the bedside, I try to understand the patient in front of me, integrating their injury and recovery course and the dynamics, hopes and expectations of their family. I also encounter my own hopes and expectations for the child, and those of other doctors, nurses and members of the care team. All of these inputs filter through my head. And then I'm faced with yet another challenge; the field of neurology is actually quite unsure about how and when the brain recovers, let alone for this particular individual sitting in front of me.
There is a shared hope between the parents of a patient and the physicians that things will "go back to normal" after a brain injury. I hear phrases from parents like "I have to believe this will make him stronger than before." Physicians exclaim, "He looks great, congratulations on going home." This understandable optimism leaves little space for discussions about the challenges that lie ahead. The hope of brain plasticity and the often-preserved external appearance of a small child who has had aneurysm or AVM surgery fuels this optimism. To be fair, it seems strange to urge caution amid a sea of praise for hard work and recovery. But studies and anecdotes show that many challenges lie ahead in the return to school.
I discuss these challenges here not to be pessimistic, but to create space so that families and physicians can have timely discussions about anticipating some common challenges we see.
Neurologists play a key role in symptom control after a brain injury. This may include helping a family control headaches and sleep difficulties for the patient. Fortunately, we have some tools to help with this such as lifestyle changes, supplements, and medications. We have less to offer in managing fatigue, and so we probably ask our families about it less often. But we know it's a major challenge and does tend to improve over time as the brain and body get used to a new day-to-day routine.
Our understanding of cognitive rehabilitation – recovery of brain function – is less clear, in part because insurance companies are reluctant to cover neuropsychological testing and therapies. With little data, it's not clear what the best therapies are for recovery, especially for children. In turn, insurers claim that because these therapies haven't been shown to be effective, they don't need to cover them. Most families can get some support for neuropsychological testing and therapy, but often for a much shorter period of time than would probably be optimal for the child.
Another challenge is the artificial division between school and medical treatment for a child recovery from brain injury. Medicine has started to accept that many essential functions of adulthood – driving, working, cooking, managing finances – relate to how the brain functions in the medical setting. But somehow, in the medical world, we haven't wrapped our minds around that connection between the clinic and "real" life for children. The work of childhood – learning, growing, navigating social interactions – happens largely in school.
School support for children recovering from brain injury varies widely throughout the country and state. Older insurance and education laws in some states provide more access than states like California, for example. Most families are at the mercy of their particular school district, which may be unfamiliar with the condition that the student is recovering from. As one parent told me, "you need one person to be the middle person" to navigate the relationship between the hospital and the school. This parent was actually a principal, which was incredible to me. If this parent feels confused about the return to school process, how must our other families feel? I have heard parents say that their concerns, requests and letters for accommodations from the medical team are not taken into account by their children's schools. This is in some ways understandable given how thin resources are stretched in schools, but it certainly makes life difficult for our families. I reflect sometimes on how the autism community has rallied to advocate for more support in school and wonder if a convergence of families with acquired brain injury might also benefit from such a coalescence.
I don't think we do enough to recognize the risk of bullying–which often occurs in school–that can occur after a major hospitalization. Peers can be both quite perceptive of small changes and cruel. I have had patients who otherwise appear "normal" after a prolonged hospital stay need to change schools after being relentlessly teased for a surgical scar on their head. I may not be able to fix that problem, but I certainly want to be aware of it so that I can ask my families about it and provide support and advocacy where able. Much of the care we provide is just that: caring about what is going on, even if it's beyond our immediate control.
Another domain where my patients' families face challenges is mood changes, not just in the injured child, but also in caregivers and siblings. If a family member witnessed the inciting injury, there's a very good chance that they need time and support to process the experience from their perspective. Siblings too can struggle with uncertainty and loss after their brother or sister is injured. In child neurology, the family becomes our patient. I try to spend time during each visit checking in with the family about how they are doing, as the family environment is a key support for the child with injury.
Ultimately, a fascination and challenge in neurology is that the organ that's been injured is the very organ that's working to understand and make sense of the injury. I had one patient say to me recently, "I know that something is wrong, but I'm not sure what." He is exactly right. His healing brain is attempting to make sense of what's going on, like a pilot who's flying an airplane while mending it. One of the most important things we can do is to acknowledge the difficulty of healing and understanding at the same time.
These challenges

PHNAT
I'm a Photographer not a Terrorist is a campaign defending your right to photograph.
Bust Card
Security call filmmaker 'lunatic' for defying nonsense photo ban
The 'I'm a Photographer not a Terrorist' (PHNAT) campaign is alarmed by footage of a filmmaker being insulted, threatened with arrest and having his gear manhandled – all for filming a sign.
24-year-old media graduate Alan Noble was shooting a time lapse for a personal project promoting the North East, when Port of Tyne security told him to stop filming from a public highway. Security then asked him if he was a "lunatic" when he declined to comply before calling the police and continuing to insult him and state that he would be arrested.
Guards also grabbed his tripod and demanded to see the contents of his camera – before refusing to let go and telling him he could not leave. The video, and the harmless shot Alan was trying to get, can be viewed here:
This latest incident between uninformed security guards and an informed member of the public around photography highlights the amount of work that still needs to be done to educate security staff up and down the UK.
Thankfully when the police were called they supported the filmmaker – agreeing after the end of the clip that he was well within his rights. Though the force seems to defend the actions of the guards, with a Northumbria Police spokesperson saying: "The Port of Tyne's security officers acted in accordance with the security regulations that apply to major ports." *
They added: "No offence has been reported and no further action is being taken. We recognise photographers and film makers are within their rights to film outside an organisation, however, it is always beneficial to help prevent them from being asked to explain what they are doing to inform the organisation in advance that they intend to film outside their premises."
The filmmaker has made a complaint to the Port of Tyne but hasn't received a reply yet, with somebody taking the bizarre step of issuing takedown notices to Twitter and Instagram over some posts of the video.
The reports do not confirm who issued the takedown requests.
PHNAT put a number of questions to the Port of Tyne press officer but is yet to receive any response after two days. We hope to update this post when we do. We've asked them about their policies, procedure and training as well as what action is being taken over the incident and for an explanation of apparent attempts to censor public discussion around the footage. *UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM*
People are free to film from public highways and this claim by security that the sign was 'protected' by the Department for Transport simply doesn't wash. Industry guidance exists from the British Security Industry Association on photography (PDF) and you can check out the law on the PHNAT 'bust card'.
If an individual is in a public place photographing or filming a private building, security guards have no right to prevent the individual from taking photographs.
BSIA Guidance for security guards
Some final words from Alan:
"I was well within my rights to be there, I was on public land filming the Port of Tyne sign as part of a personal project to promote the North East.
"As you can see from the video encounter the police were called. My phone ran out of memory just as the police arrived – in a nutshell, they said I had done nothing wrong and left me to continue doing my work.
"I am yet to receive an apology from the Port of Tyne.
"I have tried on numerous occasions to contact them and have not been given a reasonable excuse as to why no one can speak to me over the phone. They have started an investigation and I was told I would receive a letter in the post.
"But I believe something as serious as this needs to be dealt with in person or over the phone.
"I want to get the message out there that people have rights and they need to know them when out in public. I felt bullied and trapped by the two guards, despite explaining the law to them.
"I feel they need better training on how to deal with the public correctly and they need to get their facts right before accusing people, as they put it, of "hostile reconnaissance".
"I fully understand and support that security have a job to do and that the port is at risk, however there is a way of dealing with people. As you will see from the video, they went about it the completely wrong way."
*The police comment was updated to include this on their request after a shortened version was initially published.
UPDATE: Despite ignoring our questions the Port of Tyne have finally been forced to respond, telling The Register: "Whilst we appreciate the matter could have been handled more sensitively, our employees are required to act in accordance with international security regulations which are designed to protect ports and the public."
When asked what regulations, they said 'The International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities'. As El Reg rightly points out, these only apply to restricted areas of the port and not the public road outside. Ironically it has also emerged that they run a photo and film competition…

What about all photographers – amatour and pro, go there to start filming/photographic in in protest against such power abuse from the security guards?
Ciarán Ó Maoláin says:
Surely the guards' actions in laying hands on Alan and his gear, and telling him that he could not leave, while seeking to intimidate him by insulting him and threatening arrest, together have all the elements of false arrest? Alan needs to sue their employer, not to seek an apology but to seek significant damages. As an NUJ NEC member I hope that the union would support him but of course that's a matter for him to pursue through officers.
Murphy Palmer says:
OMG you prat! Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes and don't have terrorist on their forehead. If you had explained to them the way you immediately did to the police, they would have taken a different approach.
meachp says:
If you actually listen to what he said to the police you'll hear him explain that prior to the start of this video he'd already explained what he was doing to the first of the two security guards who initially came over alone. They didn't take a different approach.
mattoid says:
OMG you prat! Using a camera does not make you a terrorist. How can you even try to compare how he addressed the guards against how he addressed the police, when you have not seen footage of him speaking with police? Basic logic fail, I'm afraid. Blame the victim.
weddingphotojournalist says:
Port of Tyne should issue an apology to Alan and give some advice to their security staff on how to deal with these issues in future.
So what was the outcome of the interaction with the police?
J Norio says:
The security guards obviously have tyney brains.

Guidance on the safe use, handling, storage and disposal of lithium batteries.
If you drop your battery onto a hard surface you may damage the circuit. Always check your battery whilst charging, if it gets hot, remove immediately to a safe place outdoors. Never charge your battery near combustible items such as carpets or curtains.
Only use a USB Charger suitable for charging an ego type battery, other larger batteries for advanced e-cigs may vary and may need a mains charger. Failure to do so may result in fire. If you are unsure which charger to use please don't hesitate to contact us.
Never charge any batteries unattended. When charging lithium batteries you should always observe and monitor the charging process so that you can react to potential problems that may occur. If your battery gets warm or hot remove it to a safe place outside.
Some lithium chargers on the market may have technical deficiencies that may cause the lithium batteries to be charged at an improper rate. It is the users responsibility to ensure that the charger works properly and is PAT tested. Always monitor the charging process to ensure batteries are being charged properly.
If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon or swell up, discontinue the charging process immediately, disconnect the battery, remove it to a safe area and leave it, preferably under observation for approximately 15 minutes. This swelling may cause the battery to leak, and the reaction with air may cause the chemicals to ignite, resulting in fire.
Since delayed chemical reaction can occur, it is best to continue to observe the battery as a precaution. This should only be undertaken in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away from any combustible material.
Wire lead shorts can cause fires. If you accidently short the wires in your electronic cigarette, the battery must be placed in a safe area for observation for approximately 15 minutes. Additionally, if a short occurs and contact is made with metal (such as a ring on finger), severe injuries may occur due to the conductibility of electric current. Dispose of your batteries in a recycling receptacle available in many supermarkets and recycling centres.


Every business owner is forced to make the decision as to whether or not to host their server on or off site. The decision is an important one, and careful consideration of your unique needs should be taken before making such a decision. There are many hosting options available, so deciding how to best proceed can be overwhelming.
Take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of both on-site and off-site hosting, as understanding the benefits may help you to make a decision.
Cost Effective – Storing your data in a data center can lower expenses. Off-site storage is an easy to budget for, flat rate fee, and eliminates the need for costly hardware repairs and maintenance. In addition, money is saved on lowered energy expenses. By reducing expensive IT costs, those funds can then be allocated in other areas to help the business grow.
Easy Transition – Making the move from on-site storage to a datacenter can be a source of fear for many business owners as a business needs to remain in complete control over their data. For business owners concerned by this, moving to a colocation may be the solution. This solution allows for a company to move their information over to a data center that is relatively close to their location, enjoying the benefits of completely managed data at on off-site location, but never feel as though their information is out of reach.
Reclaim Valuable Real Estate – Housing servers onsite can claim a lot of physical real estate in the business place. By moving your data off-site, you are able to use that valuable square footage for other, more important purposes.
The only real drawback for business owners when considering moving to a data center solution is the fear of the unknown. Apprehension about taking the next step with your important information can be standing in the way of benefiting from what Off-Site storage solutions have to offer. It has been said that a business is only as powerful as the knowledge and information they possess, so trusting your data to be hosted off-site is a big decision.
Running your own data center is a considerable undertaking, and very draining on time and resources. Taking advantage of many benefits off-site data management offers can provide peace of mind, knowing your information is being expertly handled, as well as free up the time and money spent on in-house solutions to improve the business in other ways.

[biography, dated 25 July 1950] in Modern Biographical Files collection, Navy Department Library.
Benton Weaver Decker
20 July 1899 – 26 December 1983
Rear Admiral Decker, son of the late Rear Admiral Benton Clark Decker, USN, and Mrs. (Mary Ida Weaver) Decker, was born in Wilmington, Delaware, on July 20, 1899. He attended the Rodgers High School at Newport, Rhode Island, before entering the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, on appointment at large in 1916. A member of the Class of 1920, he was graduated and commissioned Ensign on June 6, 1919, and subsequently progressed in grade to that of Captain, to date from June 18, 1942. On June 30, 1949, he was transferred to the Retired List of the US Navy and advanced to the grade of Rear Admiral.
During World War I, Rear Admiral Decker had duty as a Midshipman in USS New York and USS New Jersey in the summers of 1917 and 1918, respectively, those vessels being a part of the Atlantic Fleet. He served in USS Birmingham from his graduation in 1919, until November 1920, and in USS William Jones, operating with Destroyer Squadrons, Pacific Fleet, until March 1921. Then followed engineering duty in the USS Tattnall and USS La Vallette for four and one-half years thereafter. A tour of shore duty at the Naval Training Station, San Diego, California, lasted from October 1925 until August 1927. In September of that year he joined USS Chaumont and served as her Navigator until September 1928. After brief instruction at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida, he served as Executive Officer of USS Sacramento from March 1929 until August 1930. He returned to the United States for duty as Instructor in the Department of Engineering and Aeronautics at the Naval Academy during the nest three years.
Following duty as Executive Officer of USS Dorsey from June 1933 to October 1934, he became Commanding Officer of that vessel to serve until June 1936. He then returned to the Naval Academy as an Instructor in the Department of Seamanship and Navigation from July 15, 1936, until May 28, 1938, serving temporarily aboard the USS New York during the Midshipmen's practice cruise, June to August, 1937.
Rear Admiral Decker joined USS Astoria on July 11, 1938, and while serving as Navigator of that cruiser, went to the Far East to transport the ashes of Ex-Ambassador to the United States, Hirosi Saito, to his homeland in Japan, Detached from the Astoria in June 1939, he assumed command of USS Brazos on July 7, 1939, and served in that command until relieved on July 12, 1940.
Again returning to the Naval Academy as an Instructor in the Department of Seamanship and Navigation, he served in that capacity until January 31, 1942. He was next assigned to the New York Shipbuilding Corporation plant at Camden, New Jersey, for duty in connection fitting out USS South Dakota. Upon her commissioning on March 20, 1942, he went aboard as her Executive Officer, continuing to serve as such until December of that year.
The first engagement in which the South Dakota participated was the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands, on October 26, 1942. The speedy new battleship and the aircraft carrier Enterprise had departed from a Pacific base to strengthen the US Naval Forces in the South Pacific. The Enterprise was attacked shortly after 11 o'clock am on the morning of the 26th, and when two dozen enemy bombers dived from the sky, seven were shot down by antiaircraft batteries of the South Dakota and other vessels, but the Enterprise was hit. Her fires were extinguished quickly. After an interval, four bombs were aimed at the South Dakota, one of which struck the Number 1 turret. The South Dakota's antiaircraft batteries' performance in this, her first action, contributed in large measure to the successful defense of the Enterprise.
In December 1942, Rear Admiral Decker reported for duty at Panama City, Florida, where he established the Amphibious Base for the Gulf Coast area. In February 1943, he was appointed Chief of Staff to Commander Landing Craft Flotillas, South Pacific Force, and in July he became Chief of Staff and Aide to Commander Group Five, Amphibious Force, Pacific Fleet. For services during the period February 1943 to October 1944, Rear Admiral Decker was awarded the Legion of Merit and a Gold Star in lieu of a Second Legion of Merit. The citations follow:
Legion of Merit: (With Combat "V")
"For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service to the Government of the United States as Chief of Staff of Commander, Landing Craft Flotillas, Third Amphibious Force, from February 1943 to May 1944. During this period, Captain Decker was largely responsible for the preparation and successful execution of the strenuous amphibious operations throughout the Solomon Islands Campaign. Due to her thorough and highly efficient training program, the assault troops carried out many difficult landings, defeating a powerful enemy at each encounter, despite strongly entrenched positions and numerically superior forces. Captain Decker served as Commander of a task unit in the initial landings on New Georgia Island, exhibiting outstanding courage and professional skill which were an inspiration to the officers and men under his command. His brilliant leadership and unselfish devotion to duty contributed materially to the defeat of the Japanese forces in the South Pacific and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
Gold Star in lieu of a Second Legion of Merit: (With Combat "V")
"For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States as Chief of Staff of an Amphibious Task Force prior to and during the assault on the enemy Japanese-held islands of Peleliu an Angaur in the Palau Group from July to October 1944. An efficient and inspiring leader, zealous in the performance of duty, Captain Decker succeeded in organizing the staff within an extremely limited period of time, and, by his tireless efforts, able guidance and determined aggressiveness, contributed essentially to the early completion of this vital operation."
Rear Admiral Decker also received a Letter of Commendation with authorization to wear the Commendation Ribbon (Combat "V") from the Commander South Pacific, for services as Task Unit Commander in the capture of Eastern New Georgia, British Solomon Islands, on June 30, 1943.
Returning to the United States, Rear Admiral Decker had duty as Logistics Planner in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Navy Department, Washington, DC. After the cessation of hostilities in August 1945, he commanded USS Maryland on "Magic Carpet" duty, returning veterans of the Pacific area to the United States. In January 1946 he was ordered to duty as Commander, Fleet Activities, Yokosuka, Japan. Transferred to the Retired List of the US Navy on June 30, 1949, he continued to serve as Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan, until relieved of all active duty on June 30, 1950.
In addition to the Legion of Merit with Gold Star and the Commendation Ribbon, Rear Admiral Decker has the Victory Medal, Atlantic Fleet Clasp; the Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal (USS Sacramento); the American Defense Service Medal, Fleet Clasp; the American Campaign Medal; the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with four combat stars; and the World War II Victory Medal. He also has the Expert Rifle and Pistol Medals.
Rear Admiral Decker is the grandson of Rear Admiral Aaron Ward Weaver, USN, Class of 1853, US Naval Academy, who served under Farragut; and a great grandson of Lieutenant William Augustus Weaver, USN.
He died December 26, 1983.

Liverpool keeping tabs on developments with Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama.
Liverpool are keeping tabs on developments with Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama as the midfielder - who has seen his game time limited this season - has been deemed a possible replacement for Emre Can.
The Reds are bracing themselves for Can to leave on a free transfer in the summer - with Juventus his most likely destination - as he has yet commit his future at Anfield, and despite having signed RB Leipzig's Naby Keita the club are reportedly eager to further bolster their midfield ranks.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool have now turned their attention to Wanyama due to Can's uncertain future, where their interest has been boosted after noticing his drop in game time under Mauricio Pochettino.
Following his return from a knee injury the 26-year-old has predominantly featured off the bench for Tottenham, with recent starting appearances only coming in Spurs' FA Cup ties with AFC Wimbledon and Newport County.
Liverpool know more than must just how much impact Wanyama can have off the bench as a 12 minute cameo against the Reds at Anfield saw him tilt the game in Tottenham's favor after blasting a thunderous strike into the back of the net in the 2-2 draw.
The former Southampton man would fit in seamlessly with Liverpool's former south coast members having played alongside the likes of Nathaniel Clyne, Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren.
While it's understood to be simply airing his thoughts, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard supported a move for the 26-year-old when speaking on BT Sport.
The former Reds skipper said: "I think Liverpool would benefit from a monster of a central midfielder, a holder. A Wanyama-type player who does sit in and is disciplined, and he would give more protection to the back four.
"Emre Can's leaving, obviously Keita's coming in. But Keita is a No 8, Keita is a dribbler, and a runner."
The situation has also peaked the interest of Manchester United and Chelsea, with the latter having long made their admiration for the Kenya international known.

The company behind the Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP) filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2017, ending any hope that it would build its proposed million-ton-per-year "clean coal" urea plant.
This means that every one of the "clean coal" ammonia synthesis projects I've been tracking since 2012 has failed: in California, in Mississippi, and now in Texas. That's three strikes; if hydrogen sources were like baseball, coal would be out.
These projects all shared jaw-dropping cost escalations and multi-year delays that forced financing partners to withdraw. Each of them suffered when the price of oil fell, because their business plans relied on selling captured carbon dioxide to oil fields for enhanced oil recovery (EOR): cheap oil made EOR uneconomic.
(The accounting never made sense from an environmental perspective either: according to all the EOR data I've seen, the recovered oil contains more carbon than the sequestered CO2, making the practice of EOR quite heavily carbon-positive. "Clean coal" is about as dirty as normal coal, therefore, in terms of its carbon footprint – just far more expensive. As far as I can tell, the only beneficiaries of such an investment would be the owners of the mineral rights, who wish to avoid owning a stranded asset.)
No "clean coal" in California
Last year, Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) withdrew its application to the California Energy Commission, meaning that any renewed activity would take years to permit. The project had failed to find financing as a stand-alone power plant so, as part of the redesigned project, HECA became a proposed polygeneration power plant that would also produce nitrogen fertilizers at a rate of "about one million tons" per year.
According to a DOE audit from 2013, the addition of fertilizer production "reduced the risk of the project by … adding a second source of income," despite contributing to the vast increase in costs, from $2.8 billion to over $4 billion. Unfortunately, this risk reduction "actually represented a substantial increase in upfront risk to the Department [of Energy] by allowing HECA to substantially decrease its cost share in the early stages of the project." The DOE pulled funding in 2015, and the project has been irretrievably stalled since then.
No "clean coal" in Mississippi
I can barely describe the boondoggle in Kemper County, MS. The 830 MW power plant, using technology by KBR and others, was originally supposed to cost $2.97 billion but has cost over $7.5 billion … so far.
This year, Mississippi Power finally gave up trying to operate the plant using coal and is running the plant on natural gas, which, as far as I can tell, makes the ammonia production unit obsolete. I'm guessing it's the most expensive natural gas power plant on the planet.
The expose in the New York Times was fun to read, assuming you weren't part of the management team, although Southern Company did issue an immediate rebuttal. The lawsuits are flying on this one, and will be for some time.
No "clean coal" in Texas
Like with HECA and Kemper County, the US Department of Energy pulled hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the proposed polygeneration (power + fertilizer) TCEP plant in Penwell, TX, after the project went too far over budget and too long without raising the rest of the money.
In April 2016, the DOE issued a Special Report as part of a project audit, which "effectively ended [the] Texas clean coal project, pulling some $240 million in funding."
Due to Summit's inability to obtain the required commercial debt and equity project financing and the adverse effect of changing energy markets on the demand for coal-based power plants, we are concerned about the viability of the Project and the Department's continued involvement …
We recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy … Ensure that funding to the Project remains suspended until construction financing has been secured.
DOE Special Report, April 2016
Soon after that, in December 2016, TCEP's developers announced that they would "reconfigure the project to produce more fertilizer by adding another urea line for the carbon capture coal plant [because] repurposing the project to produce more fertilizer will make raising money for the project easier."
Unfortunately, raising money for a fertilizer plant doesn't appear to be much easier than for a power plant.
In all the DOE committed about $450 million to the TCEP. The department spent about $116 million on the project before freezing funding …
Summit Texas Clean Energy, LLC filed the Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a form that calls for liquidation, on Oct. 13. The filing reported total liabilities of about $46.8 million and more than $175,000 in assets.
Odessa American, Summit bankruptcy frees land, city funds, 11/15/2017

Books on enneagram of types: TOTAL CRAP, all of them
August 5, 2020 August 5, 2020 ~ nemonemini
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=enneagram&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 searching 'enneagram' at amazon, and you can also search "gurdjieff ennegram' for some books on
the ennegaram overall.
I came across the books on the enneagram of types at Amazon and was surprised and shocked/saddened by the proliferation of total crap on the subject. I am not exaggerating but stating a fact as my view: total crap.
The enneagram by itself was bad enough, the connection with the enneagram of types is an almost tragic emergence of a new superstition. It is not even a case where some insight might emerge by itself. Overall, the gravitation of Total Crap will cause everything to fall into shit.
Strangely, the path proposed by Gurdjieff will probably be total confusion from now on, forever. It will be impossible to sort out the growing confusion. Serves Gurdjieff right. But then the ghost out there doesn't care and got what he wanted from Ouspensky, a global movement of unsuspecting suckers for an exoteric cattle round-up. The stuff in Ouspensky wasn't a path anyway and has led nowhere after a century.
Gurdjieff by rejecting modernity, along with all the other gurus, cut himself off from the future. His promise of higher knowledge now meets dozens of mendacious money-grubbing books on the enneagram. In a way that is a fate for the symbology of the enneagram: it makes people so curious, yet unsatisfied, that someone will supply the rising demand.
This material will be a superstition of the future, but it won't come to any result. People have tried many times to figure out the enneagram, but nothing ever happens because it is a form of idiocy.
The law of three and the law of seven, technically, are different. Someone still has a chance to explain them, but the enneagram version takes all of it a step further into imagination.
I am not aware of a single elucidation of the subject of the enneagram. If anyone could have provided it, it would have been Bennett. But his later books, e.g. Toward a New World, descend from the relative clarity of Dramatic Universe to the level of Gurdjieff at his basic unintelligent collation of materials that confuse all his students without any redress to explanation. Bennett knew better than to peddle the enneagram but he was caught up in the cult. In any case, as with all the other books on the subject, a close look shows that his books on the subject are interesting until he gets to the enneagram at which point he has nothing to say, a nine-term system, aha!

A burn injury is one of the most excruciating injuries you can suffer and unfortunately. About 450,000 people suffer burn injuries each year in the U.S., according to the American Burn Association. Burn injury victims who believe their injuries are due to the negligence or actions of another party should consult an experienced burn injury attorney as soon as possible.
If you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury, you may be eligible to receive compensation for you medical bills, lost wages, recovery and rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. You may even be awarded punitive damages if the party who caused your injuries exhibited especially grievous negligence.
Burn injuries can occur in a variety of settings. Industrial plants, warehouses, factories and machineries, auto and welding shops, and restaurants are all places where burn injuries commonly occur.
Chemicals, boiling water, steam, heated appliances, furnaces and boilers, grills, tanning beds and, of course, open flames are some of the most frequent causes of burns.
Determining which party or parties can be held responsible for your burn injuries depends on what caused your injury. An experienced burn injury attorney will need to work with experts in the fields of forensics, medicine, engineering and plastic surgery to determine who the liable party is and evaluate what the appropriate compensation may be.
Furthermore, since there are different types of burn injuries, burn injury litigation can be equally diverse. These types of cases may involve different theories of liability, such as product liability, premises liability and workers' compensation. This one of the many reasons why it is imperative that you immediately consult with an experienced burn injury attorney if you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury that may have been caused by the negligence of another party.
Only an experienced burn injury attorney can advise you regarding your rights following such a serious accident. For more information and to schedule a free consultation with burn accident lawyer in Los Angeles, call the Law Offices of Samer Habbas today at 888.848.5084.


If you're thinking – I don't have time in the mornings – You can whip up this breakfast in 15 minutes! Here's how: make a batch of "instant" pancake mix the day before. This recipe is a basic one that always works for me. If you want big fat, mile high pancakes – check out how I make them here.
The star of this breakfast is the Vanilla Infused Maple Syrup (recipe below) and you can make this the day before too! Clever you!
I hope you give this a go – do it for yourself, or surprise someone special in your life! Make time for it – love is worth celebrating!
For a slow infusion: place one vanilla pod in a jar of maple syrup. Within a week the flavour will develop and continue to intensify.
For a fast infusion: cut a vanilla pod in half and mix into the maple syrup. Heat over a gentle flame and bring the maple syrup to a gentle simmer. Turn down the heat, and keep warm for another 10 minutes until the aroma of vanilla is coming through. Remove the pods (keep them – grind them up to make a sugar body scrub!) Store the leftover Vanilla Infused Maple Syrup in the refrigerator. Your maple syrup will be speckled with black vanilla seeds – this is totally fine and adds to the flavour – if you don't want them there, strain the maple syrup through a coffee filter.


Back in April, we took The Education People on the road once more to exhibit at The Academies Show London. We really enjoyed meeting Teachers, Headteachers, Bursars, Governors and other educationalists, sharing opinions and ideas around the struggles and joys of working in education. Our new stand, merchandise, brochure and branding were all very well received. Throughout the day, we were inundated with delegates wishing to find out more about our offering and over 200 delegates signed up to our new The Education People newsletter – which will be sent in June.
A lot of delegates were blown away by the diverse range of topics we offer, with many interested in Leadership and Governance and Outdoor Learning. They were also extremely happy to hear that when the company launches in September, any profits made will be reinvested in the educational services we offer.
We were so impressed with the popularity of our stand on the day, we have signed up for 2019, which will be a two-day event focusing on the broader schools' market, rather than being dedicated to academies and conversions.
We are already excited to exhibit at 2018's show and look forward to seeing you there.
If you have any queries around The Academies Show, our new branding or simply want to get in touch, please contact us via email.
Don't miss out on The Education People Show, 7 November 2018!

The 24 Peaks Challenge is to climb 24 of the English Lake Districts' Peaks, each one over 2,400 feet high, within 24 hours total walking time (over 2 days). An arduous and rewarding challenge that will give the lucky participants a fantastic two day introduction to one of England's most popular and scenic mountain areas, The Lake District in Cumbria. Whilst some of the route follows well-defined ridges, the challenge itself is a significant and demanding high-level traverse of one of the UK's more popular mountain ranges, and the overall distance and height gains are not to be underestimated. It is a challenge that will involve careful planning, preparation and fitness, and will appeal to both novice and hardened hill walker alike.
The route includes many of the more famous peaks such as Red Pike, Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Great Gable. Teams will start very early on Day Two negotiating 10 of the peaks, before they finally descend late in the evening. Mileage covered on Day Two is around 17.5 miles. Day Three involves another long day of mountain ridges with Helvellyn being the highlight, with the mileage covered around 14 miles. The total height climbed is over 13,000 feet.
Day 1 - Arrive Ambleside and book into the bunkhouse. An evening meal will be taken followed by detailed briefings on the challenge, the route and safety considerations prior to an early nights sleep.
Day 2 - After an early breakfast the teams will depart at approximately 06:00 transferring to the start of the walk, beginning along the shores of 'Buttermere', arriving at the summit of 'Lingmell Col' at approximately 13:00. This is the half waypoint for Day 2. The teams will then continue trekking and collecting summits until approximately 21:00 when they will have bagged their last peak 'Red Pike', and then descended into Buttermere and the end of Day 2. Peaks 'Bagged' on Trek day 1 - Red Pike, High Stile, High Crag, Green Gable, Great Gable, Lingmell, Scafell Pike, Great End, Esk Pike, Bow Fell. Trek time taken usually ranges between 11 – 14 hours.
Day 3 - Breakfast precedes another early start – beginning at Legburthwaite, with a full day's trekking, leading to an anticipated finish of approximately 16:00 at 'Kirkstone Pass', and then into the Kirkstone Inn for a well deserved pint. Peaks 'Bagged' on Trek day 2 - Red Screes, Dove Crag, Hart Crag, Fairfield, Seat Sandal, Dollywagon Pike, Nethermost Pike, Helvellyn, Lower Man, Whiteside, Raise, Stybarrow Dodd, Watson Dodd, Great Dodd. Day 3 time taken usually ranges between 8 – 12 hours. Obviously, your start and finish times will depend on the fitness of the team members, and the prevailing weather conditions. Option to stay one more night after the event – please discuss with Adventure Café.
2 nights good quality bunkhouse accommodation. Breakfasts included.
The itinerary may be operated either starting from Buttermere or from Ambleside. In some instances it is easier logistically to start from Ambleside - and return there at the end of the event. Please discuss this with Adventure Cafe.
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation for 2 Nights.
Transport to start of trek each day, and the final transfer back to Keswick.
Transport to and from Keswick at start and finish of challenge.
Lunches & Dinners. Note - Adventure Cafe will pre-reserve dinners for trekkers - as finishes can be late and you may well be incapable of ordering especially after trek day 1 !
You will receive a thorough safety briefing from your leaders. You have qualified British Mountain Leaders or International Mountain Leaders on this event with many years of leadership experience. Yoou should follow their instructions at all times and always remain in visual contact.
The Lake District can suffer extreme weather conditions like most mountain ranges. Participants should ensure that they are suitably equipped to deal with both the extremes of the sun during the day and colder temperatures during the evenings and in inclement weather. They should also carry appropriate wet weather gear, and ensure that their rucksacks are suitably waterproofed.
