Independent Perspective In-Depth Episode 1
Guest: Frank Cammarata
Topic: Erie County Office for People with Disabilities
Duration: 28.42
Host: Welcome to Independent Perspective In-depth, a program presented in the public interest by the Western New York Independent Living family of agencies, courtesy of the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service. Using this long format we will be exploring the broader issues affecting the community of people with disabilities in discussions with knowledgeable individuals from a variety of organizations and background. We're delighted to have as our guest for this inaugural program, Mr. Frank Cammarata, Executive Director of the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities. Sharing this microphone we are your hosts Jillian Moss and Ernie Churchwell. Welcome to the program Frank.
Guest: Thank you very much Jillian and thank you very much Ernie for having me, it's quite an honor.
Host: Our pleasure. Let's get started. Before you came to this position you already had a substantial track record of working with citizens with disabilities. Could you relate, where you gain this experience?
Guest: Oh, sure. So before this position, I now have been, I'm working on my 10th year with the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities. But before that I worked for People Incorporated for 19 years. I started in their residential programs and worked my way through, working as an overnight person to working as a program manager of one of the local group homes and then from there, I went into the day programs, because the 24-7 when you're a program manager to a group home it's kind of difficult to be on 24-7 all the time. So, I decided I thought it might be a little better, to try to get into the day program so I ended my career in day programs as a assistant director of day programs for People Incorporated.
Host: Awesome. As it was created in 1983, the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities, is one of the earliest local government agencies that was focused specifically on the needs of the disability community. However, I suspect that some of our listeners may not be fully aware of the work of ECOPD. What would you like us to know about your agency?
Guest: Thank you for asking that question Jillian, it's an important one. I want to start by answering and letting everybody know that Erie County is one of the only six counties in all of New York State that has an Office for People with Disabilities. It has an office that specifically advocates for people with disabilities. And it's not just a single disability. It is for all people with all disabilities. We are actually the only county, keep in mind that there are 62 or 63 counties in New York State. But we're the only county actually west of New York City, that offers that that type of assistance. So, I think that it's a wonderful thing that the county has been providing since 1983. So, as the counties advocate for people with disabilities, we're here to ensure that services that are being provided by Erie County are equal, are being provided under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and that equal access, equal opportunity is being ensured in all services throughout all of the departments. Part of my position is also ADA Coordinator, Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator, for the county. There are a few ADA Coordinators who are part of the county in the Department of Public Works in another one of the departments, but I serve as the ADA Coordinator, and obviously I've worked with all of the county departments to ensure that any of the development, any of the plans that are going through are being thought out to ensure that accessibility and equal access is being provided.
Host: A major concern of everybody is the COVID-19 coronavirus with some aspect getting a mention on every newscast. Recently the death toll in this country has exceeded 500,000, more Americans than those who lost their lives in World Wars I and II and the Vietnam conflict combined, and many individuals with disabilities have pre existing conditions, putting them in the highest risk group after healthcare providers. This concern has been heightened by the revelations that nursing homes and long term care facilities have been super spreaders with many more deaths than had previously been reported. What are some initiatives that the ECOPD are working with the county on as it relates to the pandemic?
Guest: So, I'm going to start by answering that question and stating that it's important to keep in mind that, unfortunately, we have had over 1600 of our county residents pass away from the COVID-19. And it's important for all of us to keep those people in mind, and to ensure that we still wear those masks, that we still are physically distancing, that we still limit the times, limit the opportunities that we're getting together with close friends and family members. We know how difficult it is, and we were very sorry but it will end. And I can tell you that vaccines are here, there are opportunities for people to get vaccines, the, the rollout was somewhat slow, but it is happening a lot faster. And please, if I can just say to people just please get the vaccine because the more of us to get that vaccine, the better it is for our community as a whole. So, in direct answer to that question Ernie, the County Executive has actually named me one of the people on his COVID Vaccine Task Force. I think that's a very important role that I'm playing because it ensures that people with disabilities have a voice in the vaccine distribution process. I worked with the county's Department of Health, as well as emergency management. One of the things that we recently, we've been working on for the past five weeks or so is ensuring people who receive services from OPWDD who live in congregate settings, we're making sure that those people are getting their vaccines. We have been providing closed pods or closed points of dispensing. Before this event happened, myself and others from Department of Health Emergency Management, we worked on creating points of dispensing or closed pods to assist and ensure that people with disabilities, people who would have difficulty accessing vaccines. We're working on making sure that we could get those people, those vaccines, in a specific location. And so we're working on closed pods, we were working on, I should say I've been working on or assisting when pod sites are being selected or have been selected. I'm making sure that those sites are accessible, and making sure that those sites, even though they're accessible making sure that as people go into those sites, making sure that they're also safe and well lit, making sure that, again, making sure that people with disabilities have that equal access and equal opportunity. We're also making sure that the accommodation process is being followed through with regard specifically with regard to the county vaccine distribution process. We've worked with a number of people who have had some difficulties with the state. The state distribution process. We've worked, we've reached out to the representatives from New York State. Their vaccine, folks. And we've let them know about specific issues of access, of reasonable accommodations, and fortunately they've been able to fix those which has been good. Another important piece is that effective communication piece for anybody who has watched the County Executive doing his weekly, when he started he was doing almost three times a week, then he went down to two times a week, and now he's doing weekly press briefings. But, along with that, at that press briefing you'll notice that there is an ASL interpreter. One of my jobs is to ensure that effective communication through that ASL interpreter is being provided and making sure that people, people who are deaf, hard of hearing, again, have that equal access. So, it's all about my office has really for the past well, a year now has been there to make sure that people with disabilities have equal access to reasonable accommodations, to the vaccine, so we're very busy, Ernie. Very very busy.
Host: We believe you! So Frank it's been barely a year since COVID-19 came onto our radar. ECOPD must have been working on many other initiatives at the time. Could you mention what you are seeking to do in these other realms?
Guest: Sure, you know in what I like to say say slower times, Jillian, it's not really ever slower because throughout the year, we do a number of events, some of which, some of which Jillian, you participate with. Actually from the very beginning of the year, I kind of go through the calendar of the year, but the beginning of March we celebrate the, what used to be called Spread the Word to End the R Word. It is now called Spread the Word for Inclusion, you may see the sifn behind me. We do an event at the downtown Central Library every year to Spread the Word for Inclusion. We want to make people aware that we want people with disabilities involved in every aspects of life. So, this year, actually I should say last year, I believe it was March the fourth last year. That was actually the last onsite event that I had done. And this year, for the first time in 10 years we're doing a virtual event, at Spread the Word Inclusion WNY, so it's an opportunity for people with disabilities to sign our corkboard and let us know what what accessibility inclusion means to you. We also do non-driver ID events. We do this in collaboration with the county clerk's office, we do that twice a year. We do celebrate or we collaborate with with your organization, Western New York Independent Living on the annual July 26, ADA anniversary. Last year was the 30th anniversary, it was going to be a big celebration. Unfortunately we weren't able to celebrate in a big way. I know that we'll be having a Disability Pride planning meeting in the very near future, and I look forward to that. Getting on that planning group again. I know that we do during the month of October we celebrate Disability History Month. And during that we again utilize the downtown library, we offer an opportunity for the different agencies to come into the library and discuss the services that they provide. Each day of the week, we have a different agency that comes in, and they're able to take the service desk, and they're able to sit there and and speak to the general public about the services that they are provided. We maintain a webpage and a Facebook page, one of the things that I'm working on right now is called the Playground for All. And this is an inclusive playground that is going in at the Chestnut Ridge Park. And right now the Chestnut Ridge Conservancy is in the process of raising funds for this project. But I am working on again the accessibility piece, making sure that the playground that's going in, is accessible. But also inclusive for everybody. It's called a Playground for All because we want to make sure that everyone is able to participate. We want to make sure that the things that are going in, the playground pieces that are going in, we want to make sure that there is something there for everybody. We're making sure that the blind, visually impaired we're going to have a Braille wall there. We're going to have what I would call a teeter totters for people who utilize the mobility devices. There's going to be a jungle gym there and there's going to be so many great things. You'll hear about this in the news in the very near future, we'll be having opportunities for the public to come out and to take a look at what our plans are.
Host: That's really exciting, I've seen a lot of those on inclusive playgrounds kind of popping up all over the place. It's exciting that Buffalo is going to be able to get one now.
Guest: Yeah, it's great, and then along with all those things, it's the daily phone calls that we receive from people with disabilities who are just in need of assistance. We have people who are maybe unable to just shovel their driveway. And so, can we call out to a specific municipality or is there somebody to come in and assist them with that or somebody who's in need of food services or somebody who's in need of a non-driver's ID, we're getting a lot of daily phone calls and that's really our general rule, but there are so many things that this office is very busy with all the time.
Host: Very good. As we're just at the midway point, for our listeners if you've just joined our program, you are listening to Independent Perspective In-depth, a program presented in the public interest by Western New York Independent Living. Our guest is Mr. Frank Cammarata, Executive Director of the Erie County Office for People with Disabilities. Now we'll continue exploring, ECOPD's work in the community.
Frank, your office works extensively with many nonprofit organizations serving people with disabilities besides the Western New York Independent Living family of agencies. Are there gaps in services within the county for the disability community that can be addressed with either additional county funding or through collaborations between local agencies, or through local foundations?
Guest: Excellent question Jillian, and I'm going to answer it this way. I'm gonna say that one of the things that I've learned in my almost 10 years here in this office, is that this office is myself and my assistant, I would not be able to do the things that I do without collaboration, without working with folks like yourself, and all the other nonprofit agencies that are in Western New York. There are so many great agencies in Western New York. We touched on the vaccine distribution. I worked extensively with the Developmental Disabilities Alliance of Western, all of the IDD agencies to get those vaccines into people's arms. We worked with, again, we work with Western New York Independent Living on the Disability Pride event. It is vital that somebody in my position, the person in my position, it's vital that we have outreach and we work with each and every one of the different agencies, each and every one of the nonprofit agencies. Because I think through my collaboration with them, they also further collaborate with each other, which I think is just key, especially in the funding world that we're in right now with, with all of the cuts that have gone on. And all the funding cuts that have gone on, especially in the IDD world. It's important that agencies, collaborate, and I'll touch upon this too. I should have let the audience know I myself have a nonprofit organization called Buffalo Racing. And we push people in adaptive chairs in 5K races, local 5K races. Unfortunately, last year we weren't able to do it. I don't know that this year we'll be able to do it again. But next year we'll be coming out strong, we have three adaptive chairs that we utilize. And there's a number of us on the organization. I'm just a part of that organization. So, but it's just one of the nonprofit's that I that I work with.
Host: That's awesome. Okay, whether it's due to mobility impairments, limited sight or other issues, transportation for people with disabilities always seems to be a concern in Erie County and elsewhere. Have any recent improvements occurred to alleviate any of these worries?
Guest: The transportation piece, Ernie the transportation piece is ongoing. I can tell you that I participate with the NFTA Disability Advisory Council, their meetings are open to the public, and there's an opportunity for people to voice their thoughts and ideas for our local NFTA Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, specifically on disability related issues. There is no simple answer. We talked about about Uber and Lyft, and the difficulty with Uber and Lyft, with accessible vehicles and our local taxi services, again with the difficulty of accessible accessible vehicles. I know that our Senior Services Department, whom I work with, they have accessible vehicles. I know that Western New York Independent Living has accessible vehicles. I know that there are a couple other agencies, like Hearts and Hands that has accessible vehicles. But the reality of the matter is there aren't enough accessible vehicles, and there could always be more. But it's something that we're constantly talking about, we're constantly discussing. But as, as you all know, transportation infrastructure throughout throughout the United States is very difficult because it is so costly. But we need to make sure that in those discussions with regard to transportation infrastructure, people disabilities are at the forefront of those conversations.
Host: Definitely. Western New York Independent Living has always asserted that informed citizens with disabilities are the ideal self advocates for their own concerns, and some are part of a body with which you are very familiar. Can you tell us about the ECOPD advisory panel known as the Erie County Council on the Disabled?
Guest: Sure, happy to talk about our adivsory council. It's a group of people, some people with disabilities. We have family members. We have people who work in disability agencies. We have people who work in fields that assist people with disabilities. And it is an advisory council that is meant to advise me on needs and issues across the disability communities, deaf, hard of hearing, we have people from the blind visually impaired community. We have people who are in the recreational community, you know, we have people who work in government, so it's a very well rounded body of people who are there to advise me on again on the specific issues. I take that information and then what I do with that information is I share that with the county executive, so that the county executive is aware of the specific needs and the concerns of the disability community. From that, we actually have created a core advisory group. And the people who are on the core advisory group, are people who are on my Advisory Council, but there are people who are additionally on that core advisory group that their focus is to advise the County Department of Health and emergency management. The core advisory group or CAG group was an idea, created by FEMA. A few years ago, and FEMA reached out to the local communities, and said hey would you be interested in starting these CAGs. Erie County jumped on it, and we, in our community we have a CAG. The CAG meets on a monthly basis, and to be honest with you, the CAG has been meeting, more frequently than our advisory council. Although, you know, people who are in the CAG are also the same people from the Advisory Council, andnas you all know, the COVID-19 has really been the focus for everybody for the past year. So, you know, people in the CAG we talk about other issues but obviously the COVID-19 epidemic has been really the major topic of focus.
Host: Alright, people with disabilities have a startlingly high unemployment rate at least twice as high as for able bodied individuals before the pandemic, and it's only gotten worse. What resources are available in Erie County for these citizens who want to find work?
Guest: Again, another very good question, Ernie. I can say it's a good question because this is a question that we get very frequently from our office. As we know that the people with disabilities are very much under employed throughout the country. You know, we have, I believe it's a 37% unemployment rate for people with disabilities and in our community. So, it continues to be very high. It is something that I work on. Fortunately for me, my office is connected with our division of EEO or equal employment opportunity. And within that division, I work with our director, the Erie County has what is called 55 A employment opportunities. And those 55 A employment opportunities, enable a person with a disability to apply for a job without having to take a civil service exam. And so, we have 55 A through local and county governments, and then you have 55 B, which is offered by state employment opportunities. What I always recommend to people is to call ACCES-VR. They used to be called VESID, they are now called ACCES-VR that's your New York State Vocational Rehabilitation agency operated through the State Department of Education. They're the ones that are going to assist the person with a disability to find a job. They're there to assist with job coaching. They're there to assist with people, if they want to start their own business, providing some seed money, providing educational opportunities, etc. So, there are opportunities out there, and it behoves that person with a disability to get out there and just to talk with people. If you want to get a job, it's important to get your resume out there and to talk to people. I'm happy for people to give me a call, I'd be happy to talk with people about employment opportunities that I'm aware of. I work with folks from ACCES-VR, I work with people from the Western New York Mmployment Consortium on a very very regular basis.
Host: Frank, even after a half hour there are probably many questions that our listeners have about the work of your agency. How can they contact you to learn more?
Guest: Sure, Ernie. We are always here to assist our community. And I wanted to give you my email, which is Frank.A.Cammarata@erie.gov and I want to give you our office phone number, which is 716-858-6215. If people should have any needs, any specific needs, any accessibility issues, any needs with county services, please feel free to reach out to us. But I also want to give you a very important phone number right now at this moment. It's the Erie County Department of Health's COVID hotline. That's 716-858-2929. That's the number for people to call if they have any questions regarding COVID, or if they're looking for a COVID vaccine through a county point of dispensing. As you're aware, some of the points of dispensing are New York State, are FEMA and some are county but that number, 716-858-2929, they'll be able to assist you with all of those resources.
Host: That's awesome. Thanks so much for being with us today Frank, we and those listening are grateful for all the ECOPD does for consumers.
Guest: Thank you Jillian, thank you Ernie.

Biologists design new molecules to help stall lung cancer
By ONA Editor	 April 26, 2019 No Comments
University of Texas at Dallas scientists have demonstrated that the growth rate of the majority of lung cancer cells relates directly to the availability of a crucial oxygen-metabolising molecule.
In a preclinical study, published in Cancer Research, biologist Dr. Li Zhang and her team showed that the expansion of lung tumours in mice slowed when access to haem – the oxygen-binding molecule in haemoglobin – was restricted.
The researchers also showed that those same cancers grew faster when more haem was available than normal.
With an eye toward exploiting the cancer's haem dependency, two of Zhang's graduate students in the Department of Biological Sciences then engineered and extensively characterised new molecules aimed at starving the cancer cells of the molecule that allows them to proliferate so quickly.
The findings suggest a potential new path forward in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which comprises about six out of every seven cases of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S.
"I've been working on haem for my entire career," said Zhang, who joined the UT Dallas faculty in 2007. "In 2013 I began working on lung cancer. In that time, our results have convincingly shown the relevance of haem to this disease."
Zhang, the Cecil H. and Ida Green Distinguished Chair in Systems Biology Science and professor of biological sciences in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathaematics, edited a textbook about haem biology in 2011.
Her previous work established that lung cancer cells consumed oxygen at a faster rate than normal lung cells, indicating haem's critical role.
"It's fascinating how tumour cells take advantage of their environment," Zhang said. "The lungs are so rich in oxygen. But you need haem to use it."
The team emphasised that its potential treatment approach is designed to work in tandem with chemotherapy or other forms of cancer remedy, not by itself.
"This method wouldn't kill tumours; it would delay their growth," Zhang said. "So it would not be a stand-alone treatment, but it could replace less effective forms of therapy that rely on inhibition of angiogenesis — the creation of new blood vessels."
Zhang's new results emphasise that tumours create energy using molecules other than glucose – a type of sugar known since the 1920s to feed tumours.
Where more haem is being made, more oxygen is consumed to make more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the energy-carrying molecule that fuels many activities in living cells.
Take the haem away, and cancer cell growth slows down.
"Years ago, it was believed that cancer cells did not use oxygen, only glucose, to make energy," Zhang said. "Now we know that most cancer cells use oxygen, and this type of lung cancer cell is an example. It oxidises the glucose to generate energy much more efficiently, manufacturing about 30 ATP molecules per glucose molecule."
Sagar Sohoni and Poorva Ghosh, co-first authors of the study and doctoral students in Zhang's lab, collaborated to investigate how a series of engineered molecules deny haem to cancer cells.
Zhang said that these haem-sequestering peptides, or HSPs, are able to "hijack" haem from the spaces between cells, where tumours would be able to access it, while leaving alone the haem in healthy cells.
"Haem sequestering doesn't adversely affect the normal cells," Zhang said. "They synthesise the little haem they need on their own. Also, our peptide won't go into cells so it shouldn't provoke many side effects."
Demonstrating the reduced progress of haem-starved cancer cells makes a compelling case on its own.
To hammer the point home, Zhang's team modified NSCLC cells to allow them to obtain haem faster.
Those cells behaved as expected — aggressive and invasive, consuming oxygen quickly and cranking out more ATP.
"Cancer cells' energy demands are very high compared to the normal cells around them," Zhang said. "When more haem is available, NSCLC cells grow and reproduce at an alarming rate."
The next step is to continue refining the design of the HSPs to create a version for use in humans, "further optimising its efficacy while continuing to prove that its toxicity is low," Zhang said.
"This idea has turned out to be more beautiful than I dreamed of," she said. "It's really making sense."

Iowa GOP to hold state convention by mail because of virus
The Republican Party of Iowa plans to hold its state convention via mail-in ballot, rather than gathering in Des Moines this summer because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
The party announced Thursday all delegates will receive mail-in ballots to decide such issues as ratifying the party platform and electing delegates to the national GOP convention.
The convention had been planned for June 13 in Des Moines.
"The GOP State Convention would require over 1,500 Iowans from every county to convene at a central location in Polk County, and then return home to their respective counties. It's simply not feasible to plan an event that large at this time," party spokesman Aaron Britt said in a news release.
The party recently held its district conventions by mail-in ballot and said that effort was an "overwhelming success," with more than 80% of delegates participating, which was a higher participation rate than for traditional conventions.

Two "ko-omote" (small mask) from the Kongo School Family of Noh theater that were treasured by warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) have been reunited for the first time in about 50 years in a special exhibition in Tokyo.
The Noh Masks and Costumes from the Kongo School Family exhibition is now running at the Mitsui Memorial Museum in front of the Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district.
The Yuki (snow) mask, which has been handed down to the head family of the Kongo Noh school, is one of the three ko-omote masks treasured by Hideyoshi, who named the other two as Tsuki (moon) and Hana (flower), respectively.
With the Hana mask also loaned for the exhibition from the museum, the two legendary masks are now on display side by side.
The Kongo School, whose origin dates to feudal times, is also referred to as "Omote-Kongo" because it owns many great masks and costumes. According to Hisanori, the 26th-generation head of the family, about 100 items have been put on display at a Tokyo museum for the first time. Each item is a work of art still used for Noh performances today.
Ko-omote represents a young woman. The Yuki, Tsuki and Hana masks are believed to have been created by mask maker Tatsuemon, who lived in the Muromachi Period (1338-1573). Tsuki was destroyed by fire during the Edo Period (1603-1867), but Yuki was passed down to the head family while Hana was handed down to the Mitsui clan. The two masks hadn't been placed on display together for quite a long time after they were featured at an exhibition held at a department store, officials said.
A model of all ko-omote masks that followed, Yuki looks exquisitely chiseled and well-rounded. Hana, which looks slightly thinner and more captivating than Yuki, is a designated national important cultural property.
The two masks are on display together, making it easier for spectators to compare their differences.
"Even though you don't know anything about Noh, (the masks) change their expressions depending on the angle from which they are viewed and the amount and quality of light they receive, so there is also a way to appreciate how well chiseled they were as a work of sculpture," head curator Minoru Shimizu said.
Particularly worth seeing is the first room of the venue, which is lined with independent exhibition cases. Female masks contained in the cases are arranged in a sequence that makes them look as if they are getting older as spectators walk further into the back.
Commentary for each work is provided by Hisanori. Also incorporating stage effects and other techniques, he offers engaging views only a veteran Noh performer can provide.
The exhibition runs until Sept. 2. The museum is closed on Mondays.


The candelabra plant (Euphorbia lactea) is a cactus-like shrub or small tree with upright three-angled branches that grows 6 to 7 feet tall, and 5 feet wide. It has gray or black spines and minute leaves that shed easily. The flowers are small and the plant rarely blooms. Originally from India, it grows in USDA hardiness zones 9B to 11 and is hardy to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Desert Tropicals. It is also called dragon bones, elkhorn, false cactus, frilled fan, milkstripe euphorbia, monkey puzzle and mottled spurge.
The candelabra plant grows outside in sun to partial shade. It tolerates high temperatures and requires little water. Pruning is not necessary except to remove diseased or damaged branches.
Inside, the candelabra plant grows in areas with low to high light levels. Let the soil dry thoroughly in potted candelabra plants before watering. They are susceptible to overwatering, especially in winter. Water potted plants only once during the winter months.
Candelabra plants are propagated with cuttings. Let the cuttings dry three to four weeks before planting in well-drained potting soil.
Candelabra plants are used as large specimen interior plants, or grown outdoors in dry rock gardens and xeriscape gardens. They form a thick, impenetrable hedge when grown close together. The sap is used as glue and to treat rheumatism in India. Do not use the candelabra plant or any other plant for a medical reason without the advice of a licensed medical practitioner.
Euphorbia lactea "Cristata" has crested fan-shaped branches growing in clusters or ridges on the stems. Some have varieties with fans tinged with yellow, pink, red or purple. White ghost has white crests. The color of the fans intensifies with some afternoon shade.
Although the candelabra plant looks like a cactus, it is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. Euphorbias have milky sap and when the spines are removed they pull some of the surrounding stem tissue off, too. Cacti have clear sap and the spines break off easily.
All parts of the candelabra plant are poisonous, especially the white, milky sap. It is mildly toxic if ingested and causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Minor skin irritations include redness, swelling and blisters. It causes severe irritation of the eyes. Wear a long-sleeve shirt, gloves and eye protection when pruning a candelabra plant or taking cuttings.

Kids Who Showed Courage
Written by Kathryn Rateliff Barr
Mark Twain wrote, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear." Some kids show courage daily by persevering against disease, poverty, abuse and other negative influences. Other kids find themselves in circumstances where they must act courageously to save a life or make a difference in the lives of others. Stories of courageous kids can inspire your child 5.
Amanat Singh, 9, and her brother, Abhay Singh, 11, were at the Milwaukee Oak Creek Sikh temple on Aug. 5, 2012, when a man got out of a cab in front of the temple with a gun. The kids ran inside and warned worshipers to hide before the man came in and began firing at those inside. An article on The Huffington Post credits the kids with saving about a dozen lives. Six worshipers lost their lives before the gunman shot and killed himself.
India's Brave Kids
The Indian National Bravery Awards 2012 recognize kids who put their lives in danger to help others. Eleven-year-old Om Prakash Yadav rescued eight fellow students when their school van caught fire, despite being burned in the process. Eleven-year-old Prasannata Shandilya threw a mixture of tumeric and chili powder into the eyes of robbers who were beating her parents and chased the men away. Twelve-year-old Uma Shankar rescued six children who were thrown under a minibus when it overturned. The government of India recognized the achievements of 24 kids in 2012, five of whom received their award posthumously.
Kids and CPR
When 2-year-old Brooke Saghin fell in the pool, 9-year-old Tristan rose to his sister's rescue and performed CPR because his parents taught him how, according to a May 2011 CNN story. When his mom collapsed at home, 8-year-old Austin Blance performed CPR on his mom just like he learned watching the History Channel, according to a May, 8, 2012, story at Syracuse.com. She had a seizure and stopped breathing so Austin performed CPR and then called 911 to summon help.
Each year the Children's Hospital Cleveland Clinic gives courage awards to young people who overcome adversity 56. Winners for 2013 include Charlie McMicken and Christine Tabar. Charlie McMicken has had a heart condition since he was a newborn, and underwent a heart transplant when he was 4 years old. He continues to pretend to be a superhero like Captain America and Spiderman. Christine Tabar had serious liver disease that required a liver transplant when she was a teen. Today she continues to serve other sick children at the hospital by dropping off books dressed as Cinderella. 2012 recipient Jaime Bradford required a heart and lung transplant after the teen was placed on life support. Today, she enjoys many things other teens enjoy. Another 2012 recipient, Jose Dybzinski was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, in addition to kidney problems and other medical issues. He continues to inspire others with his courage and zest for life, refusing to let his medical problems keep him from living his life.

Q: Redirect domains to path on main domain I have some domains:

*

*http://domainmain.com

*http://domainone.com

*http://domaintwo.com
My secondary domains are currently hosted under the main domain. No sub-directories, no other paths. So every domain get the contents of http://domainmain.com.
For better understanding: These files points all to the same file: http://domainmain.com/index.php,  http://domainone.com/index.php,  http://domaintwo.com/index.php.
For every domain I have a folder located at http://domainmain.com:
domainname       folder / path
--------------   -----------
domainmain.com   /
domainone.com    /domainone
domaintwo.com    /domaintwo

My goal is to redirect every domain to the corresponding dir / path http://domainone.com.
For example: http://domainone.com has to show the content of path /domainone. The visiter has to see http://domainone.com. This also should work: http://domaintwo.com/images shows http://domainmain.com/images.

Some code I started with in the .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domainone.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domainone
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /domainone/$1 [NC,L]

And some PHP (but I want to use redirect instead of file_get_contents():
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'domaintwo.com') {
    echo file_get_contents('http://domainmain.com/domaintwo');
    die();
}

Note: It is only possible to have an .htaccess file at http://domainmain.com. My server runs PHP5.

A: Your question is quite similar to this one asked on the web-master's section;
How to redirect different domains to separate subdirectories.

A: Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(domainone)\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (?!^domainone(/.*|)$)^.*$ /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(domaintwo)\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (?!^domaintwo(/.*|)$)^.*$ /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,L]

Samhain/Halloween
Posted on October 31, 2018 October 25, 2018 by L M Dee
~Magickal Graphics~Happy Halloween and a blessed Samhain, or All Soul's Night, to those celebrating.
All Hallows Eve, or Halloween, is the modern name in English for the great north European festival which signalled the end of the light and warm half of the year, and ushered in the cold and dark one, and so divided the season of autumn from that of winter in these northern lands. It was known in Irish as Samhain, summer's end; in Welsh as Nos Galan Gaeaf, "winter's eve"; in Anglo-Saxon as Blodmonath, "blood month"; and in Norse as the "winter nights". As such it was one of the greatest religious festivals of the ancient northern pagan year – x
Samhain also known as Halloween, Hallowe'en, All Hallows Eve, Lá Samhna and Allhelgona amongst others. It takes place on the last day of October. It is the end of summer, where only summer and winter are recognised as seasons. In certain traditions this is the start of the new year. Samhain is celebrated as the Dia de los Muertos in Mexico (Day of the Dead–usually held on November 1) and All Saints Day (also on November 1) by the Catholic church.
It is the last of the harvest festivals in the Wheel of the Year. Across the world, in the Southern Hemisphere, it is Beltane, a fire festival full of fertility symbolism – the time of Brighid rather than the Cailleach.
It is believed that the Veil between the worlds is at its thinnest at this time and so it is both a time to be wary of spirits – hence the jack'o'lanterns to scare away evil spirits. Pumpkins are carved into lanterns, though any squash can be used, and before the American influence of pumpkins took over, the more traditional turnips and beets prevailed. This article Original Irish Jack-o-Lanterns were truly terrifying and made of turnips discusses the original folklore behind the carving of gourds.
It's also a time for remembering ancestors or those who have passed on. Some people hold a dumb supper at which their loved ones who have passed over are welcome at. Livejournal member introduced me to Allhelgona; the Swedish version of All Hallow's Eve – full name Alla Helgons Dag which translated to English would be "All Saints Day". For the protestants of the Swedish Church it's the time to go put flowers and little white candles on the graves of their loved ones.
Samhain is an idea time for divination, be it through tarot cards, runes, scrying, or other means. Other themes and workings include reflecting on the past, release of bad habits/banishing, candle magic, protection spells, manifesting transformation, knowledge, death & rebirth/new beginning.
Apples are traditional for this festival, plain for apple bobbing, and covered in caramel as toffee apples/candy apples. Other foods and drink associated with the festival includes gourds, cranberries, baked potatoes, pork and other meats, soups, mulled cider/mead/red wine, nuts, sweets, pomegranates, dark breads, pumpkin pie, roasted pumpkin seeds.
Colours include black, orange, grey, deep blue, deep purple, gold, silver, and burgundy. Stones like obsidian, haematite, jet, onyx, and amethyst are appropriate for October.
Deities: Cernunnus, Horned God, Osiris, Hades, Anubis, Loki, Dis, Arawn, Erebos, Pluto, Iku, Eshu, Gywnn Ap Nudd (Welsh), The Crone, Hecate(Greek), Cerridwen(Welsh-Scottish), Arianrhod(Welsh), Demeter, Caillech (Irish-Scottish), Baba Yaga (Russian), Al-Ilat(persian), Santa Muerte (Mexican), Bast (Egyptian), Persephone (Greek), Hel(Norse), Kali(Hindu), All death and underworld/Otherworld Goddesses and gods.
A besom or broom is an appropriate decoration. Other correspondences include: skulls, bones, cauldrons, pumpkins, gourds, sickles, scythes, representations of your ancestors, cornucopia, root vegetables, dried leaves, acorns, elder flowers, mandrake, wolfsbane, sarsaparilla, allspice, mugwort, divination tools, bats, owls, crows and ravens, water, midnight. There's a list here and a longer list here and some ideas on correspondences and ways to celebrate here and here.
Some pagans worry about the more fun aspects of Halloween, like eating sweet foods, dressing up, and watching scary movies. The Thought.co Paganism and Wicca (previously about.com) guide puts it like this: Think of Samhain and Halloween like this – one is spiritual, one is secular. There's no reason they have to be mutually exclusive at all. You can still observe the fun and silliness of Halloween — and pig out on candy, if you like — while maintaining the more somber traditions of honoring the dead at Samhain. The reverse follows; there's nothing pagan about putting on a costume for fun, and paganism has no exclusivity on honouring ancestors.
Soul Cakes –Discworld readers are familiar with the Soul Cake Duck, and this is the origin of that reference. Soul cakes were traditionally baked as a gift for the spirits of the dead. In many European countries, the idea of "Souling" became an acceptable alternative for Christians. The cakes took many different names and shapes — in some areas, they were simple shortbread, and in others they were baked as fruit-filled tarts. Still other regions made them of rice flour. Generally, a soul cake was made with whatever grain the community had available. That text comes this site which has four recipes if you want to try baking something for the festival.

Fic snippet: Juliet
Opening paragraphs from my first novel WiP, working title "Juliet"
"Marry me," Juliet said, unable to keep the desperation from her tone.
Sean bowed his head, staring at the grass which was still damp with morning dew. "You know I cannot."
Juliet's heart sank. Sean was her oldest friend. He had conducted her marriage to Dayne, the first such ceremony he had ever performed. He had blessed her daughter Sophia when she was born, and was her godfather, loving her as if she were his own child. He had comforted Juliet when she was told of Dayne's execution, and carried out a memorial service for the man they'd both cared about. Now, in this hour of greatest need, he was unable to help her. Prayer would not be enough.
"I would if I could." Sean took her hand. "But clerics are now forbidden to marry."
Neither he nor Juliet had expected the new rule to affect him. He was a loving and compassionate man, but he had never felt desire for anyone. The people of the community were his family, none more so than Juliet. Many clerics however preferred to take a spouse and now most had been forced to surrender their titles. It was a strike against their authority and talents. The queen could not yet destroy the clergy completely but each new law she passed further diminished their influence.
Queen Edda. The bane of Juliet's life and fast becoming the ruin of her homeland.

Q: IIS Rewrite Rule for Web.conf with in application I have two applications of ColdFusion. Their folders are parallel to each other like this:
...SiteA
...SiteB

SiteA is the main the site in IIS. I am running SiteB by creating application in SiteA.  The requirement is that:

*

*sitea.com should point to the SiteA folder.

*sitea.com/b/ should point to the SiteB folder.

Most of the code in SiteB is running through the query string. Like if cgi.query_string is store=b, then it will work efficiently.
I need a rewrite rule for this purpose. I want to keep the web.config file in the SiteB folder.  I have tried following but it is not working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>

                <rule name="Rewrite for b">
                 <match url="^b/$" />
                 <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.cfm?store=btn" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Can anyone please help with this rewrite rule?

A: First of all, you need to keep web.config in the root folder and reference all files from that folder. Why dont you want to keep siteB folder inside siteA folder? It would solve half the confusion. If for some reason you cant keep siteB inside siteA, I would suggest that you have a folder called siteMain inside which you can keep siteA, siteB and web.config. So you can follow any of the two approaches:

*

*siteMain

*

*siteA

*siteB

*web.config

OR

*

*siteA

*

*siteB

*web.config

Staal said: "My wife and I are ecstatic I've joined the team – we've heard nothing but great things about the city, and Scotland, so we can't wait to get over there.
"As a player I'm someone who is a very positive person, and I pride myself on being a great teammate.
"I'll be someone that is a very versatile forward that can fit in a lot of different roles. I've done a lot of work on the penalty kill over the last few seasons and I believe that is one of my strong points.
"Also I'm looking forward to hopefully being a player that will be counted on to score goals and be a consistent offensive threat this season."
Player/Coach Michal Dobron added: "When we had the chance to bring Jared to the club it was an easy decision.
"He brings great experience having iced in over 200 games in the AHL, and also has NHL experience. That tells you about the calibre of the player.
"He's a strong forward who can play across the forward line and is another on our roster that is talented on special plays. I know the Caps fans are going to love this player." goa

Beyond breadwinners and authority figures – dads enter the 21st century
Margaret O'Brien, UCL Institute of Education
Fathers' active participation in family life will likely be one of the most important social developments of the 21st century. Times have changed since fathers were often seen in terms of breadwinners and authority figures. Today's children wish for a relationship with their daddy as a loving father, a pere de coeur, not just a father of duty, a pere de devoir.
In many places across the world fathers are expected to be accessible and nurturing as well as economically supportive to their children. Images of caring fathers are now part of everyday culture, in advertising and depictions of sporting icons.
The new State of the World's Fathers report builds on increasingly global focus on fathers' role in the family. The first UN report on this subject was published in 2011 and the first international conference on fatherhood was held in Asia in 2010.
Fathers, work, and paternity leave
Working conditions, in particular excessive hours, can be a barrier to active fatherhood. In rich income countries the debate about work and family time in the 1990s was dominated by discussion about a culture of long working hours.
But our ESRC research shows that fathers' working hours have declined over the past decade and more fathers are sharing the "breadwinning" with their partners.
There is growing evidence that employment-based family support measures such as maternity and paternity leave after childbirth and parental leave to care for children in the early years has the potential for improving children's health. A large 2005 study on parental leave arrangements and child health outcomes for 18 OECD countries (16 in Europe) from 1969-2000 suggested that infant mortality and morbidity gains associated with maternity leave (for example greater uptake of infant immunisation, breastfeeding initiation and duration). More research is emerging on the benefits of fathers taking parental leave, particularly in the Nordic countries – including boosts in fathers' involvement in care of infants, cognitive outcomes for children, improvements in the quality of couple relationships and even fertility gains.
Dad by Shutterstock
Statutory leave provision for fathers at the time of a child's birth (paternity leave) or later, in the early years of a child's life (parental leave), are significant policies for increasing male participation. The complexity, scope and speed of policy change in this area since the late 1990s has been striking.
In some countries, a section of parental leave during this period is reserved for fathers only and cannot be transferred to mothers, so-called "daddy days" or "father's quota". In some countries fathers are entitled to a couple of months of paid leave to care for children that cannot be transferred to partners. In the case of Norway, the time is linked to a use-it-or-lose-it system: if the time is not taken by the father, the family loses it (a combined bonus/penalty arrangement).
In January 2007, Germany also radically broke away from a leave policy that tended to encourage mothers to stay out of the labour market for three years after the birth of a child. The government added two highly paid daddy months for fathers onto a shorter 12-month maternity leave period. The reform had the explicit aim of increasing the take-up of leave by fathers and recently published data by the Federal Statistics Office show that the proportion of fathers taking leave has risen significantly from 3.3% in 2006 to 29.3% for children born in the second quarter of 2012.
Fathers and mothers need explicit nudges to change behaviour and non-transferable well paid entitlement to fathers' increases choice and incentivise fathers.
Parental leave policies
The Iceland 3+3+3 month model has significantly shifted male behaviour in a relatively short period of time. Introduced early in 2000, by 2006 more than 90% of Icelandic fathers now take parental leave. Ingólfur V. Gíslason, an associate professor at the University of Iceland, said there have probably "never been more Icelandic fathers active in caring for their children than there are today."
Britain is a relative latecomer among affluent countries to paid leave for fathers. British fathers were only given a legal right to take two weeks paid paternity leave after the birth of a child in 2003, several decades after European neighbours. Maternity leave that begins at 52 weeks into a pregnancy remains one of the longest in the world.
Under the new Children and Families Act 2014, fathers in the UK are now entitled to access any unused maternity leave after two weeks but only at a low flat rate of £138 per week. The government has claimed that this legislation "enables fathers to play a bigger part in bringing up their children". However, it is predicted that only 4-8% of eligible fathers will access unused maternity leave. Families will inevitably lose out if they switch from more highly paid maternity leave.
Despite the spin, this new UK legislation contains no provision to introduce an individual non-transferable paid entitlement to fathers, which is the accepted evidence-based approach to incentivise partners as shown elsewhere. Expanding national policies and programmes to promote a stronger engagement of men in family care activities through the life course will help modernise work-family policies to catch up with the changing role of women.
In the 20th century, many post-war public policies created systems and services which assumed a full-time home female carer, supporting a full-time male breadwinner – a work and family model that no longer fits the circumstances of 21st-century families.

What are your sources in accessing key information on health and rare diseases?
From the platform Rare Commons, we want to launch a very easy survey with the aim to know better the patients and families habits when trying to accessing information on health, and especially on rare diseases.
In recent years, medical consultations on symptoms, diagnosis or treatment for diseases in the digital environment have been increasing and the traditional press has stopped being the principal information source on health for many people. The family and patients' community who live with rare disorders also have seen on the Internet a rapid and effective way to find news or information on this topic. The blogs, the social networks, the digital magazines, and forums have enabled a new way of being properly informed. All this has helped make more dynamic and easy the knowledge flows, which in case of the rare diseases can be very useful.
That's why for us it is vital and valuable figuring how patients and all people who are living with the rare diseases get properly informed. This kind of details can help all health professionals understand how to come to the maximum number of persons interested in these issues.
You can help us to improve the life of the patients who suffer some rare disease filling this brief survey and sharing it with other people of your network!
You just need no more than 5 minutes to answer the questions and, doing that, you will help us to improve our mission. We are looking forward to your answers!

Supervised Release Program
The Supervised Release Program reduces the number of people held in jail simply because they cannot afford bail.
The majority of people inside New York City jails are awaiting trial, often because they can't afford bail. Our Supervised Release Programs in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island offer an alternative to jail, providing pretrial supervision and voluntary social services to people charged with a crime. Defendants are monitored to ensure appearance at their court dates, and they receive referrals to community-based programming such as job training, drug treatment, and mental health counseling.
More About the Program →
See Location →
12,000 Since 2016, our Supervised Release program has helped people avoid bail—and potentially Rikers Island—in more than 12,000 cases.
87% of Supervised Release participants exiting the program attended all pretrial court appearances.
916 referrals to community-based services for participants were made by our social workers and case managers in 2020.
"Having someone there to steer you in the right direction really was a big help for me. I had to not let [my case manager] down, as well as myself."

Bail Reform Revisited: The Impact of New York's Amended Law
by Michael Rempel and Krystal Rodriguez
Our analysis of the revisions passed in April 2020 to New York State's bail reform projects they will lead to a 16 percent increase in New York City's pretrial jail population, relative to the effects of the original law. However, even the revised statute makes an estimated 84 percent of cases ineligible for bail. The analysis also weighs factors, including the COVID-19 emergency, that could produce a culture change in pretrial decision-making—in the direction of less, or more, reliance on detention.
Addressing Racial Disparities, Bail Reform
Supervised Release: A Proven Alternative to Bail
Supervised Release is as effective as bail at ensuring people make their court appearances, sparing them the documented harms of pretrial detention and allowing them to receive supportive services in their community. This fact sheet of results from the first five years of the program finds its outcomes remain stable, despite its expansion last year to cover a larger, more charge-diverse population.
One Year Later: Bail Reform in New York City
by Michael Rempel and Joanna Weill
One year into New York State's sweeping restrictions to the use of bail and pretrial detention, the reform has produced sustained reductions in the reliance on both. But, at least in New York City, the reform's impact has been significantly diminished—most notably, by an unexpected mid-year spike in bail-setting by judges.

Do We Protect NYC by Jailing New Yorkers?
Written by Vincent Schiraldi, the former commissioner of New York City's Departments of Correction, this article urges looking at New York City's history of substantially reducing incarceration over decades while simultaneously lowering crime when currently evaluating bail reform. With links to our Jail in New York City Evidence-Based Opportunities report, Schiraldi cites our research stating that individuals sentenced to city jails increases a person's recidivism rate.
What Responsibility do Courts Bear for the Crisis at Rikers Island?
Eric Lach for the New Yorker spends time in the courtroom at arraignment to understand some of the factors fueling the current crisis on Rikers Island. The article cites our research that identified a 2020 spike in judges setting bail and explores the alternatives that judges have to bail--like someone being released on their own recognizance or supervised release.
Crisis At Rikers: How NYC Judges Fueled An Increase In The City's Jail Population
Gothamist
Citing our research, Gothamist looks at the role of pretrial decision-making in fueling the crisis on Rikers Island where the jail population has been rising steadily for months. "The research overwhelmingly indicates that releasing people reduces recidivism in the long run, and pre-trial detention increases it," said Michael Rempel, our director of jail reform.

Hong Kong filmmakers claim '3D Sex and Zen' to be first 3D porn film
By NICOLE CARTER
| DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER |
Aug 10, 2010 | 10:47 AM
Hong Kong filmmakers giving porn a sexy 3D makeover. (3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy/ HO)
Get those 3D glasses ready.
A group of Hong Kong filmmakers claim to be shooting the first ever 3D porno film, according to the AFP.
The working title of the $3.2 million project is "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" and it stars Japanese adult actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Harais, according to the Sunday Morning Post.
Based on a classic piece of Chinese erotic fiction, the sexy film follows a strapping young man as he discovers a royal world of "orgies, swinging and some very graphic sex scenes", the paper reported.
The film, to be released in May, will reportedly be marketed in Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and some pay-per-view TV channels in Hong Kong- mainland China will likely be off limits due to censorship, according to the AFP.
And this is just the beginning for 3D sex flicks.
Hustler is reportedly working on a 3-D porno-spoof of James Cameron's mega blockbuster "Avatar", while Italian director Tinto Brass plans to make a 3D version of his 1979 erotic film "Caligula".

Our long-standing association with major letter shop organizations allows us to finish your project. Mailing, matching, imaging and destination entry on time, every time, to help you achieve maximum results.
At Redfield Creative, we create not just graphics, but entire products. Our goal is to find the most effective way to get your message across. This means determining your needs, the message the design should portray, and its appeal to your customers.
Our designers consider cognitive, cultural, physical, and social factors when planning and executing designs. Our approach is not just to create designs and layouts, but to develop communication strategies, resulting in project success.
We meticulously monitor the process from start to finish, even selecting the optimal substrate and ink for the product and reviewing the mock-up design for errors before final production.
All of this is achieved through use of the most advanced computer software & technology.
