What Do I Need to Bring to 341 Meeting?
If your attorney needs you to bring any additional information than that listed above, they will call you. And as always, if you have any questions about what to bring, what is acceptable, or just need assurances in general, always contact your attorney or someone in their office.


Spread the muffins on a cookie sheet, cut side up and toast for a few minutes until golden brown, but not too crispy. Slather each half with arugula pesto. Set aside.
In the meantime, scramble the eggs slowly over low heat, scraping up the bottom as clumps begin to form. When the eggs are still very soft but not runny (i.e. almost done!), add the mozzarella, chives, and salt to taste. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is melted and the chives are well incorporated.
Set out the eggs, pesto-covered muffins, and prosciutto buffet style and allow your guests to make their own sandwiches.


Preschools and child care centers can provide valuable opportunities for learning and socialization in a safe and supportive environment. Protecting your children against the minor illnesses that can arise in these educational facilities, however, can help them to derive the greatest benefit from their early childhood experiences and can reduce stress and worry at home. Here are five proven strategies for helping your child learn to share toys and games without sharing viruses and bacteria into the bargain.
Most major public health organizations endorse the use of vaccines to prevent children from contracting or spreading these potentially dangerous diseases. Following the advice of your pediatrician can help you reduce the risks for your own child and the children with whom he or she has contact.
Encouraging your toddler or preschool-aged child to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits can help to boost his or her immune system. This can significantly reduce the number of colds and flu bugs your child picks up and can even protect the rest of your family against these minor ailments. Choosing foods high in antioxidants and carotenoids can be a good first step toward eating healthier and staying well for your entire family.
Regular cleaning and sanitation of toys and other shared items in preschool and child care environments can help to prevent the transmission of colds and flu among younger children. This is especially critical for toddlers two and under; since nearly everything finds its way to their mouths, keeping toys and plastic surfaces clean and germ-free can reduce the risk of disease transmission in these centers for early childhood education.
Teaching your little ones to wash their hands before and after every meal and at regular intervals throughout their day can reduce the build-up of germs on skin surfaces and can keep children safer when in contact with others in their peer group. Hand sanitizers can also be used to supplement hand-washing after active play with other children at home or in a child care facility. Ensuring that staff members at your child's preschool or child care center also maintain best practices regarding hand-washing and sanitation can be critical to your child's ongoing health and well-being.
When children do fall ill, it is critical to provide separate and safe areas for these children before they are picked up by parents or guardians. This can protect well children against exposure to the disease while allowing sick children the chance to rest and recuperate. Discovery Point, for example, maintains a "boo boo room" for children that provides a safe and supportive environment for toddlers who are feeling under the weather and need a little extra attention before their parents arrive.
The experts at Discovery Point Child Development Centers can provide a healthy and safe environment for children during the most critical formative stages of their early childhood. By entrusting your child to these knowledgeable professionals, you can ensure the most positive learning experiences while reducing the spread of common childhood ailments and disease through their early childhood educational careers.

Can't take 'information from a foreign agent. It's against the law': Chris Christie
The "This Week" Powerhouse Roundtable reacts to George Stephanopoulos' exclusive interview with Donald Trump.
Transcript for Can't take 'information from a foreign agent. It's against the law': Chris Christie
It's not okay for any public official to receive assistance from a foreign government. If a foreign agent approached me with anything including but not limited to dirt on my opponent I'd call the FBI. That would be simply unthinkable for a candidate for president to accept that involvement, to encourage it. Participate in it in any shape or form. It would strike at the very heart of our democracy. Senate Republicans there clearing rattled by the president's comments. Let's get reaction from our powerhouse roundtable. Former New Jersey governor and ABC news contributor Chris Christie. Democratic strategist Stefanie brown James. And Rick Kline and Julie pace, Washington bureau chief for the associated press. So, governor Christie, why is the president saying this? Well, I think it's because it's what he's really think. One thing about Donald Trump most of the time when he's emotional like he was in that interview, you can see a number of times he was emotional, he's saying what he really thinks. He does think people take that dirt from foreign governments all the time. Put in context -- They don't. I understand that. Let me explain that to you, Jon. This guy has never been involved in politics before. He's been involved in business where a lot of things that happen in business that might be acceptable when you're a public official taking an oath of office that's not acceptable. That's not to explain away his statement. It's to help people out there understand why he. Let us be clear, you can't take that information from a foreign gft. It's against the law. Subject to prosecution. Now, the president's backed off a bit since George's interview and said, you know, I would call the FBI. If I thought that there was something bad in there. Let's play that. We see that. He called into "Fox and friends." This is what he said. Of course, you have to look at it, because if you don't look at it if you're not going to be bad. Because if you don't know it's of course you give it to the attorney general or someone like that. So, Stefanie, does this change the calculus on impeachment? Listen, Donald Trump is exactly the gift that the Democrats need. They only need him to keep talking. He's the evidence that they need to show why he needs to be out of office. I mean, this is a man who, I believe you, he legitimately thinks people are out to get him. Now if he continues to talk -- He's not wrong about that. But, for reasons that he's just oblivious to all of the mistakes that he's made, what Democrats need to do is, focus on, yes, we do want to get out information. This is moment for Democrats to continue to make sure they're pressing forward with their agenda. Because this is going to be a rollout of information. This is why Stefanie's one of the smartest Democrats. You asked her about impeachment and ask she didn't answer it. If they do it, it's the gift that Donald Trump will win him the election. I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true. Why aren't you doing it? Why aren't you doing it? I think they're going to move forward in some kind of way. With impeachment? I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats rolled that way. I would not. There we go. But what I'm saying is, though, I truly believe they're focused on they're talking about their agenda. I think that's where the American people really are. They want to know what the government is doing for me. What is the government doing for me? The impeachment process isn't going to get us to the place with Donald Trump out of office. Now, Rick, you've been talk ING to Democrats. And I think it's key -- we're focused on the momentum for house members coming out in favor of impeachment. Nancy Pelosi isn't. She's looking at different numbers entirely. I talked to a house Democrat who's close to Pelosi yesterday, look, 65 or so for impeachment. Probably another 100 who would vote for an inquiry. If it came to the floor. But there are about 150 hard nos. They don't have 118 votes. Unless that changes, you're talking about people like Abigail and Alyssa, if they start to turn, yes. If he defied a court order, if something took it another level. Fight congressional subpoenas? It goes beyond that. They bring that to court. I don't think Pelosi is going to move on this. With a majority of the presidential candidates and majority of the Democrats on the judiciary committee being in favor of impeachment. Those lawmakers put Democrats over the edge to put them in the majority. They're really split. They're are red/blue districts. Pelosi will be watching those lawmakers if their politics back home show that impeachment is now a viable option that's the signal she'll be looking from. We're seeing nothing of the sort from those lawmakers. Let me clarify what you're talking about. There are 50 hard-nos, if it came to a vote it would not pass. I could see 50 Democrats showing Pelosi I'm a hard no. If it came down to a vote, vote no? One thing to tell the speaker not to go forward and it's another thing to step forward -- And those things are connected. She has more pressure on her now, even some members on her leadership team are moving in that direction. She knows how to count heads. And look, it's not like she wants to advertise the fact you can imagine president trump using that vote, or even reporting on that vote as a badge of honor. But she's protecting her own members and looking out for what they view as the right political and policy move. Jon, places like New Jersey, where a number of Republican seats got flipped. Someone like Mike, in my district, traditionally Republican district for 40 years, or Andy Kim, another district even longer Republican. If they came out and said they were for impeachment, they'd be out in 2020. In fact, if it came to a vote members like that would vote no. Because they're preserving their seat rather than worrying about the other issues. No doubt. At the end of the day, Democrats need to make sure they're staying focus on the election. Nothing is going to move forward in the senate about impeachment. The only thing that's going to get Donald Trump out of office is the elections. For them to focus on what are we doing to make sure that our agenda is getting out to the American public, to talk very clearly about the fact that we passed a lot of legislative priorities we had, that's the only thing that's going to get Donald Trump out of office. That's the crux of argument for Nancy Pelosi. If your goal is to have trump not serve a second term, you have to focus on beating him at the ballot box. The senate is in Republican hands. There's no way he would be out of office on impeachment. That so far is being a pretty compelling argument to a majority of her caucus. Take that was a vindication. Get impeached and then he got exonerated in the senate. Trump looks at the politics from the Clinton era, the second term. He left office more popular after that. He was able to rally his base because of the opposition.

If I'm a Good Mom, Why Did Things End Up So Bad?
My 6th and 8th grader wanted to go on their annual youth group Tu B'Shvat trip, so I was a good mom and signed them up.
That meant that yesterday my 1st grader, Yaakov, didn't have any older siblings to bring him home from school. So I was a good mom and took an hour out of my day to pick him up myself.
And then Yaakov didn't want to leave his school, because he was playing soccer with his friend. So I was a good mom and read my magazine and let him play for another 15 minutes.
By the time we left his school, I only had half an hour to pick up 4-year-old Yoni on time, in a different neighborhood. But I would be a good mom, and pay extra to take a taxi instead of the bus.
But my phone started acting funny and I couldn't call for the taxi. Anyway, Yaakov preferred to take the bus. So, like a good mom, that's what I did.
And on the bus home, I gave Yaakov the snack I had brought for myself. What a good mom!
And then, when we were almost there, the street suddenly turned into a parking lot. So, like a good mom, I got off the bus and started walking as quickly as I could to Yoni's gan.
And I did what I do when I am running late. I don't look at my watch, and I envision that I am arriving on time, or at least almost on time.
And a revealed miracle took place. Like when Hashem shortened the long journey for Yaakov Avinu. And I arrived at Yoni's gan at exactly the right minute. Not even a minute late! What a good mom!
So why did Yoni's teacher look a bit upset with me?
And then I saw Yoni, his little brown eyes pink with tears, round with worry.
I was a good mom!!
So somehow I got past Yoni's roadblock. And somehow I distracted him with a promise of something yummy to eat at home (he wasn't so happy when he found out the surprise was lentil soup).
And on the walk home, I couldn't shake my deeply unsettled feeling.
How was it that I had done everything possible to make sure my kids would be happy, but in the end, they weren't?
And then I noticed the other mothers also returning from pick-up time.
I see that mom who rushed back to pick up her 4-year-old and year-old after a full day at work. Her company recently announced it will be closing this summer; she doesn't know how she will be supporting her 8 children.
And I see another mom surrounded by her 5 kids, the newborn in the carriage crying, the 2-year-old having her daily tantrum while the mother yells after the 4-year-old who was running way too far ahead.
And I see that mom whom I saw snapping with fury at her husband last Shabbat. I just noticed they are in the middle of renovations, added stress on top of everything she already has to balance with 3 children under the age of 6.
Juggling so much, all of us moms, all of us yearning to be good moms. When the most any of us can hope for is good enough.
Remind yourself of the truths you surely know deep inside. Your worth as a mother is reflected in your efforts, not in the results or in the appreciation. The best gifts you can give your children are the ones concealed in the wrapping paper of patience and trust. The only One who who can appreciate your true worth is the only One who really knows you. His appreciation is strengthening and encouraging. Everyone else's appreciation is nice but is necessary only for their good middos development. No need to attach your self-esteem to such fleeting recognition. Hatzlacha!
Maybe we need to use a sliding scale. Not good enough slides to good enough or even to great mothering. It is not easy bringing up children, especially a lot of children. Most of the Moms you describe and I see, work hard at being good Moms. Slide the scale to a higher level, a better result, a truer bigger picture.
These are individual incidents on one day. One day does not make a life time.
Wait til you see the results – grown and caring children, who appreciate their Moms and Dads. And even if they replay what you wrote about when they are parents, they will also become good parents.
Children have no idea what it takes to be a parent, but they will realize it, if not now, later when they are older.
Our goal is NOT to become a "good mom" but to become a WISE mom. In the long run, nobody truly benefits when a parent runs him/herslf ragged trying to please everyone, including their two year old. Children thrive when an adult sets perimeters. Good or bad are value judgements. The only measuring stick by which we make value judgements is Torah.
I have no training in child psychology so this is purely something I've come up with but I feel that sometimes the crying and "unhappiness" in children is what allows for good parenting. It allows them to communicate negative feelings and for parents to respond in a safe, emotionally healthy manner. That's how you learn to be emotionally healthy and also communicate needs in a healthy effective way. If they were always just happy you'd never get to reassure them that you WILL pick them up, that you are there for them, that you do take them into account etc.
Great insight, Karen. Reminds me of a joke with a deep message.
There was a little boy who still wasn't talking at the age of 5. The pediatrician found no reason for the delay and told the parents that in all other aspects of development he was fine but the parents still worried.
"Until now everything was perfect!!" came his answer.

"Shooting for this film was a very different experience for me because along with Hindi, I also had to shoot in Telugu" shares Alia Bhatt on working in RRR.

One of the little known reasons behind the success of the American Arts and Crafts movement was the formation of Arts and Crafts societies in cities such as Boston, New York, and Chicago. Today we don't hear as much about societies or clubs, in part because the internet, email, and websites have enabled people to communicate with each other instantaniously, without waiting for the next meeting.
But as we all know, emails and text messages are no substitute for personal contact. People rarely become lifelong friends solely through texts and tweets. But give two people the opportunity to share an experience, whether it be admiring a piece of pottery, turning a chair over to find a shopmark, debating the influence of Gustav Stickley versus Elbert Hubbard, or admiring a wisteria-draped cedar pergola off the side of a bungalow, and they are apt to become Arts and Crafts friends.
For that reason and several others, we want to encourage you to form a society, club, chapter, or whatever you decide to call it that enables people in your area to meet each other to share experiences and information. In this space and at ArtsAndCraftsCollector and its Facebook page, we are going to establish a resource center for societies and clubs across the country. We will provide suggestions for getting started, solutions for challenges that arise, possible programs, and contacts with other clubs around the country.
We will continue to update this site, as we plan to add incentives that will help you and your friends attract new members to your Arts and Crafts group. For now, however, I hope you will read the following, and will let us know of your plans and ways we can help.
The final decision should be made by the members themselves, reflective of their interest. I would, however, urge everyone to be inclusive of several different areas of interest, including architecture, contemporary craftspersons, and antiques. The wider the range of interests, the larger and stronger your organization will become.
Not so often that it becomes a burden, but not so seldom that people lose interest.
During the formation stage, the founding members may get together informally quite often, but once the organization has been established, setting a regular date and sticking to it is critical. More than once a month may make it difficult to come up with fresh programs, which are critical to encouraging members to attend. Every two months seems too far apart for members to maintain a high level of interest.
I would suggest starting with once a month, then letting the members decide as the group grows. Critical, however, is picking a set day, such as "the third Tuesday of every month," so that no one ever wonders when you are meeting.
In the beginning, when your numbers are small, you may decide to meet at various members' homes. Everyone loves seeing how other collectors have restored, decorated, and displayed their collections within their homes.
Once the group is established and your numbers have grown larger, it is best not to meet in someone's home. No one wants to have something get broken, to have muddy footprints tracked on their carpets, or a white ring left on a fragile shellac finish.
Assign a small committee to investigate possible places where your group could meet, either for free or a nominal charge. That might include a meeting room in a religious building, a classroom in a school, a community center, a museum, a lodge, or a theatre. If your group decides they want to include food and/or drinks, that could expand to include private rooms in a bar or restaurant.
Well, if you have dues, you have to have a treasurer.
If you have programs, you need a program committee.
And if you want to have an organized gathering, you'll need a president to call each meeting to order and to run it efficiently. And you'll want a vice-president to be able to step in at those meetings when the president is unable to attend.
A secretary is always good to have to keep a record of motions, votes, decisions, and actions.
At the beginning, the positions you need may be filled by volunteers. Later, your group may decide to hold elections.
Two important committees should also be formed: Programs and Memberships. Fewer than three people on a committee makes it a burden; more than five makes it inefficient.
In addition to keeping a good record of who has joined, the Membership Committee should from the very beginning establish and maintain an email mailing list. Sending members and prospective members regular emails reminding them of upcoming meetings, announcing programs or special events, and renewals is critical.
Speaking of which, have all membership renewals fall during the same month rather than scattered throughout the year. You could devise a formula, perhaps pro-rating the first number of months leading up to the designated month in which all renewals are due.
It would also be a good idea to have an on-line and/or paper form for new members to complete, which would give them a chance to express their specific interest: what they collect, if they are restoring a bungalow, what they want to learn more about, if they would be interested in presenting a program, etc.
This group of three to five people plays a critical role, but they can be helped by the questionnaires collected by the Membership Committee wherein members express their interests and their reasons for joining.
The majority of your programs will be held in your regular meeting place, but don't overlook other possibilities and opportunities, such as a group tour of a new (or permanent) museum exhibition, a neighborhood architectural walking tour, or a visit to the studio or workshop of a craftsperson.
As far as guest presentations (avoid the term "lectures") are concerned, establish some clear guidelines, starting with the length of time. Regardless of the speaker or the topic, after 45 minutes the audience will quickly grow tired, especially after a long day. Do your audience and your speaker a favor and have an established and publicized time limit. I have known too many people who quit coming to meetings simply because the speakers did not know when to stop talking.
Whether or not your speakers can use PowerPoint or similar AV programs will depend on the equipment available at your meeting place or from your members.
As far as possible presenters are concerned, consider architects, interior designers, contractors, remodelers, landscape firms, arborists, stonemasons, roofers, window and door specialists, antiques dealers, historians, antiques collectors, authors, museum curators, historic sites representatives, foundation experts, furniture restorers, preservationists, directors of other groups, and, when all else fails, a members' "Show and Tell" about something in their collection.
Well, that's it for right now, but check back for more information.
And let us know as you press forward!

"The police, TfL [ Transport for London ] and ambulance were there until around midnight and left after collecting all of the man's items off the road and put them into a big, clear bag."
Police say the man is believed to still be in hospital in a critical condition.
Police tape was put up around the crash scene in Cowley

The small town of Declo, Idaho, had experienced consistent plugging issues with their "non-clog" pumps. Like many other municipalities, Declo has seen a significant increase in difficult to pump items like baby wipes, duster pads and the like. These items tend to wrap around a standard non-clog impeller and bind up the pump, resulting in costly downtime and maintenance calls. One pump in the duplex system was in need of immediate replacement. Mitchell Lewis & Staver was asked to assist in the selection of a new pump and to explore alternative to help combat the plugging issue.
Pump Application: Chop and pump the wastewater.
We determined the right solution to be a Landia dry-pit chopper pump. Its unique hardened knife blade system chops up the solids and stringy materials prior to them entering the impeller. Landia was also able to design and build a base/suction elbow to match existing suction and discharge piping height, making for a near seamless installation. After seven weeks in operation, the city reports no clogging issues or down time with the Landia. In fact, the other remaining non-clog pump is no longer used as the Landia remains trouble free. The city plans to replace the other pump with a Landia this summer.


Dual listed junior miner-Firestone Diamonds will not open BK 11 diamond mine anytime soon, this is despite fresh projections that prices for the commodity will increase 'considerably' through 2020.
Firestone closed BK 11 mine more than a year and a half ago, citing poor market prices, which have been necessitated by a slowdown in the global economy. "We are in an environment which is very tough. Nothing positive has really come out which can make us reopen the mine, but we are doing quarterly reviews (on whether to open or not)," said Polite Khutjwe, the group head of projects and operations.
His pessimism comes days after leading North American financial services BMO Capital Markets announced that diamond prices will grow by 6 percent on average in the next 7 years. The company cited lack of production to meet demand. In terms of production, BK 11 is among the smallest diamond mines in Botswana.
"While output is rising, it's unlikely to surpass the peak of about 160 million carats a year attained before the world financial crisis," BMO analyst Edward Sterck said in a report.
"The primary constraint on supply growth is the lack of new discoveries that match the scale of existing operations in Botswana and Russia," Sterck said. Speaking to BG Business from Maseru on Wednesday, Khutjwe said he is not aware of any latest research suggesting an uptick in the diamond industry.
"People do all sorts of research, but for us, everything has been quite stagnant (in terms of prices)," he said. Meanwhile, the AIM and Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) listed company spends over P500 000 monthly on maintenance of the mine's machinery and plants. Khutjwe said they cannot cease the current maintenance programme despite millions of Pula spent on an unproductive mine.
"The machines need to be maintained so that they are ready once production restarts," he added. Once more, Khutjwe could not commit any time frame for the re-opening of the mine that used to employ well over 200 people.
"BK 11 is not the only mine which has closed. Look what has happened to Lerala mine (Mantle Diamonds), even Damtshaa (Debswana) was closed for more than two years," he justified. Lerala diamond mine opened in 2012, but closed months later due to unfavourable market forces. On the other side, BK 11 started full production in 2011, but was closed and put in care and maintenance programme last year.
The mine is located near Orapa. Can the mine executives be blamed for commercialising the mine while the market is bad in the first place? "Nobody ever knew when the diamond prices would go down. I don't think we blundered in opening the mine," he said. Firestone also operates Lighobong mine in Lesotho. At the close of market this Wednesday the company's share price was flat at 60 thebe.

The (Parlous) State of German Unions
John Addison (), Claus Schnabel () and Joachim Wagner ()
No 23, Working Paper Series in Economics from University of Lüneburg, Institute of Economics
Abstract: This paper traces the profound decline in German unionism over the course of the last three decades. Today just one in five workers is a union member, and it is now moot whether this degree of penetration is consistent with a corporatist model built on encompassing unions. The decline in union membership and density is attributable to external forces that have confronted unions in many countries (such as globalization and compositional changes in the workforce) and to some specifically German considerations (such as the transition process in postcommunist Eastern Germany) and sustained intervals of classic insider behavior on the part of German unions. The 'correctives' have included mergers between unions, decentralization, and wages that are more responsive to unemployment. At issue is the success of these innovations. For instance, the trend toward decentralization in collective bargaining hinges in part on the health of that other pillar of the dual system of industrial relations, the works council. But works council coverage has also declined, leading some observers to equate decentralization with deregulation. While this conclusion is likely too radical, German unions are at the cross roads. It is argued here that if they fail to define what they stand for, are unable to increase their presence at the workplace, and continue to lack convincing strategies to deal with contemporary economic and political trends working against them, then their decline may become a rout.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) – The Indonesian police have arrested another suspect, only identified by his initials as BBP, for allegedly creating and spreading fake news on seven containers from China containing 10 million marked ballots, a police officer stated.
The suspect was arrested in Sragen District, Central Java Province, Director of Cyber Crime at the National Polices Criminal Investigation Department Brig. Gen. Rachman Wibowo informed journalists here on Wednesday, Jan 9.
Following BBPs arrest, the national police have, so far, lined up four suspects. Three others, also only identified by their initials, comprise HY, who was arrested in Bogor, West Java; LS apprehended in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan; and J from Brebes, Central Java, he stated.
Police investigators were able to arrest BBP after successfully detecting his recorded voice that he had circulated through several social media platforms and messenger applications, Wibowo revealed.
The modus operandi used by the suspect involved recording and proliferating his voice to convince various social media platforms users, who heard his fake news on the marked ballots.
After spreading the hoax, BBP then discarded his smartphone and SIM card in the Sragen District area, Central Java, but the police were able to seize these two pieces of evidence on Jan 7, he stated.
Police investigators accused the suspect of intentionally creating and spreading the fake news content; attempting to delete the content after going viral; and leaving his house until he was found in Sragen District, Central Java, he noted.
The proliferation of fake news, hate speeches, and slander has obviously become a serious problem prior to this years parliamentary and presidential elections.
The latest case of fake news related to the upcoming presidential election that triggered concerns among the authorities and public was related to seven containers, with 10 million marked ballots from China.
On Wednesday (Jan 2), a rumor, circulated through social media platforms, claimed that seven containers from China, with millions of ballots that had been cast in favor of the Joko Widodo-Maruf Amin pair, had arrived at Jakartas Tanjung Priok Port.
In response to this rumor, which was later proven to be fake, authorized persons from the KPU and the Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) directly checked the reported containers on Wednesday evening.
The KPU commissioners confirmed that the rumor was untrue, and it was categorized as fake news. They also urged the polices cyber crime unit personnel to track and arrest those who had spread the fake news.
KPU Chairman Arief Budiman emphasized the need to arrest those spreading the hoaxes, adding that they are criminals intending to disrupt and delegitimize the convening of this years parliamentary and presidential elections.

MSF demands immediate access to healthcare for the population in the Central African Republic
London/Bangui, 25 March 2013 - As the opposition group known as Seleka takes charge of the capital, Bangui, the medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) calls on those engaged in the fighting to grant people access to healthcare, not only in the capital, but also across the rest of the country.
In the last 48 hours, due to the high violence and insecurity in Bangui, MSF operations have been seriously disrupted and critically wounded patients are unable to be referred for surgery. Since Seleka took control of the capital and due to the high insecurity, MSF is concerned that all medical actors are not able to provide healthcare to the general population of Bangui. Currently 23 wounded patients are unable to be referred from our emergency project in Sibut to Bangui for further treatment. While many people are too frightened to go to hospitals, these incidents also prevent MSF from providing essential treatment to those in need.
Throughout the country and in key cities taken by Seleka, displaced people fleeing the conflict have had difficulty reaching health facilities, driven by fear. MSF operations continue in Carnot, Paoua, Mboki, Zemio, Boguila, Batafango, Kabo, Sibut and Ndele. MSF requests that all actors in the conflict guarantee access to health facilities for those in need, the population and medical staff, without the risk of being targeted.
MSF has also been the victim of widespread looting and robberies at its facilities and calls on all parties in the conflict to respect medical structures, ambulances, medical personnel and sick and wounded patients. "MSF condemns the looting and robberies that have taken place at our facilities in Bangui and Batangafo and reminds all parties that medical personnel shall be respected and protected and shall be granted all available help for the performance of their duties" says Serge St. Louis, MSF Head of Mission in Bangui. Once the security conditions allow it, MSF wishes to assess the medical needs in Bangui and other cities across the country and take emergency measures to respond to the medical needs.
MSF has been assisting the population of the Central African Republic since 1996. MSF has approximately 80 international staff working in five of the 17 country's prefectures.

Creatives receive a medication box containing a "prescription pad" of paper samples which highlight how printing techniques interact with different types of paper. Dr. Wiggins gives agencies the opportunity to promote culture in the workplace and inspires creatives to work with their hands and explore the world of paper craft.


How do you approach such a large museum as the National Gallery of Art when you know it will be a relatively short visit and it's hard to decide where to start? You can get materials in the information room just off the rotunda. They have family guides (geared toward children ages 6 and up) on Dutch Art and American Art. They are great for exploring these areas with older kids, and they will give you some ideas for looking around with your younger child. Here is where it's really good to try to look from your child's perspective. Don't look at it as a Learning Experience for your child (really, everything they do at this point is a Learning Experience); approach it as a fun and exciting adventure.
It's exciting just to enter the Rotunda of the West Building. You step into a grand and glorious space: from a toddler's perspective, you see unimaginably high ceilings with a dome overhead, so many giant columns you definitely can't count them, and a large fountain in the middle with some guy with crazy little wings here and there. Depending on your child's age, you can talk about the surroundings: How does this place make you feel? Does it feel like our house? Does it feel like an important place? Who is the guy above the fountain? Why do you think he needs those little wings? (Mercury, bronze, 1750-1850, Giovanni Bologna). The key thing is, you don't need to have any answers at this point. Your child will have some questions and ideas, and you can explore them–it's fine for them to come up with their own story about why someone would need wings on their hat and their shoes.
As you go through the main hall, you might see a painting that catches your eye. You can look for things your child is interested in and start there. One of my kids was obsessed with cats. We would go on a treasure hunt for cats, sadly finding that there were more dogs than cats in paintings, at least in our surveys. Horses are another good one, or animals in general.
Portraits are great to look at with young kids because they are often full of clues about the sitter. Folk art portraits of children are especially fun because the works are often whimsical and very direct. (gallery 63) They are appealing to children (and many adults, of course!) and often contain animals, flowers, or small toys. Your child may surprise you with their comments or observations about these works.
I always like to visit Ginevra de' Benci (gallery 6) Besides being one of the few existing portraits by Leonardo da Vinci (and the only one in America), it is displayed so you can look at the front and back of the painting. The back contains interesting symbols that can tell you more about the sitter. With a young child, you could talk about who this person is, does she look happy or sad, look at the details of her clothes and hair; and why would the artist paint on the back of the painting?
As you're heading toward or leaving your gelato/coffee treat, be sure to walk or moving-sidewalk through Multiverse, Leo Villareal, 2008. This is a tunnel of tiny LEDs that constantly change patterns and it's really cool. You get to be part of the art. When you come out near the cafe, you can also look at the wall of water coming down from the fountains outside on the plaza between the East and West Buildings.
Good news! The National Gallery has a free iphone app that lets you do all kinds of prep very easily. Great if you're not the "wander-in-and-see-what-we-find" type, or if you want to get more information while you're in the galleries. It's called "Your Art." With it, you can look at a kids' tour or collection highlights tour by artist's name, nationality, or the works' theme. The app provides a gallery map with paintings on the tour highlighted, and you can also use it for the museum's audio tours. It is a wonderful thing! But remember: just because you've prepped for a visit doesn't mean your child will be any more or less interested, so let them take the lead with your gentle guidance. And have fun!

Andrew & Katelyn's Story
It was 2004. I remember that year vividly and not just because of the Hurricanes. I remember 2004 because it was the year my husband and I got the exciting news that our 1 year old son, our son who had taken us 8 years of struggles to have, was going to be a big brother…to twins! We were on cloud 9.
Seventeen weeks into the pregnancy we went to find out the gender of our unborn twins. Within minutes of learning we were having a boy and a girl, we learned news that changed our lives forever. We were told that our unborn son had Chiari II Brain Malformation and water on the brain, called Hydrocephalus. We learned the little feet we had just seen on the ultrasound were clubbed and that the nerves of his Spinal Cord were exposed and that would mean he would have paralysis, bladder and bowel issues and likely countless other medical challenges. It was Spina Bifida and our unborn son had the most serious type of this birth defect that a baby can have and still live.
I reached out to organizations I heard were good for families with children with a disability but was turned away because as middle class citizens, our income was too high to qualify for services. It was when Andrew was 2 months old, that I got a phone call from The Howard Phillips Center's Developmental Center for Infants & Children. The hospital had referred our family and because of the Spina Bifida diagnosis, we qualified for services. Their expert team taught us how to hold him to help his hip sockets, they showed us stretches to help his little body, and they incorporated the siblings into their sessions and used them as motivators for Andrew. Early Steps was a blessing to our family.
In elementary school, Andrew shared a classroom, a spot on the cheerleading squad and a part in show choir with his twin sister. Andrew also plays basketball and baseball with the help of a wheelchair. Our family will forever be grateful to The Howard Phillips Center's Developmental Center for Infants & Children for pointing our compass in the right direction for success.

How does water quality affect hydroponics?
Why is water quality important in hydroponics?
Hydroponics is an important sector of the agriculture industry, with the capacity to sustain farming operations in urban areas or locations with low-quality soil.
This food-growing method relies on water alone without the presence of soil. The hydroponic plants must be supplied with all the necessary nutrients and minerals in the flowing water source itself. These nutrients are added by the operator, and then the augmented water is recycled through the hydroponics infrastructure many times – until harvest or until a build-up of salts or pathogens requires the solution to be replaced.
While the hydroponics process will naturally cause salts to accumulate in the water, this process is enhanced if the water source is of a poor quality from the beginning.
According to industry online magazine Practical Hydroponics & Greenhouses, water quality can have a major impact upon the management of a hydroponics system.
Raw water sources from groundwater or dam/river water commonly contain factors that can influence plant yield and affect plant condition, including salinity, dissolved solids and pathogens. While some of these factors can be beneficial to crops, others need to be minimised.
Iron in water can oxidise and lead to iron scale, while high levels of sodium chloride can cause significant problems to intolerant plants – such as lettuce, capsicum and beans.
When water is continuously recycled through a hydroponics system, the level of sodium and chloride can easily increase over time, as the plants are unable to take up concentrations higher than what is already present in the root network. If the increasingly saline water is not treated, it leads to these problem ions being present at toxic levels, reducing plant yield and quality.
Hydrosmart water conditioner units use computer-generated resonance frequencies to dissociate sodium and chloride ions from each other, which lessens their toxicity. Controlled trials have repeatedly proven that installing Hydrosmart technology on hydroponics leads to better growth by-weight, and a more marketable product.
Mechanistically, Hydrosmart ensures that beneficial minerals are more bio-available to plants, leading to the high yields and more robust growth. Overall the Hydrosmart technology offers significant advantages to hydroponics production, particularly in prevention of saline toxicity.

Home Artists TikTok Sensation
TikTok Sensation
George Birge's "Beer Beer, Truck Truck" surpasses 10 million streams
Texas Music Staff
The power of social media can be life-altering, as Austin native George Birge can attest. He turned a TikTok response video into a top-charting song, ultimately launching his career as a country artist.
But first some back story. Birge has had a passion for music for as long as he can remember. "I've been playing 6th Street in Austin since I was 14," Birge told San Antonio's KSAT. "Being in the Live Music Capital of the World, there's music everywhere. I tried to go to college and get a desk job and do the right thing, but I was always obsessed with writing and singing country music. I live for it."
And when the time is right … the time is right. Which brings us to Erryn Chambers, a social media influencer and prominent TikTok member known for social justice advocacy, who posted a viral video parodying country music, jokingly singing, "Beer, beer, truck, truck, girls in tight jeans, beer, truck, beer, truck, America, America." The video garnered more than 6 million views and unwittingly provided the melody to the chorus of Birge's response video. Birge even gives Chambers a co-writing credit on his song, even though "Beer Beer, Truck Truck" takes issue with Chambers' take and defends the genre. "Even though it's a rebuttal to a joke," he explains, "I tried to write this to kind of stand up for country music." Addressing the object of his affection, who's gone off to the big city, Birge sings:
It ain't all beer beer, truck truck
Girls in them tight jeans
Small town, ridin' 'round
Girl, I hope you're missin' me
I know the city called you
Go, baby, spread your wings
I'll be here, waitin' on you
Out here in the country
To her credit, Chambers has been supportive of Birge's effort. "It's really an honor and a privilege — and a shock — to see something I came up with on the fly really connect with people," Chambers says. "It's been an entirely positive experience — all my interactions with George have been great, and he was always up front about giving me credit."
The hit song began its viral journey on June 18, and, to this date, has garnered more than 10 million streams and lots of national publicity. NPR, in a segment on "All Things Considered," complimented Birge's ability to turn Chambers' parody into a "genuinely sweet ballad." Birge made a guest appearance on the Bobby Bones Country Radio Show in late June. He also appeared on tour with artists like Jake Owen and Brantley Gilbert, and was featured on a song, "Someone Somewhere," alongside rapper Nelly in August.
He also co-wrote songs on Clay Walker's latest album, Texas to Tennessee, which was released in July. And, as it turns out, Walker was actually the person who convinced Birge to join TikTok and begin posting videos to the app. At the time, Birge was a member of a country duo, Waterloo Revival, but was frustrated that he was experiencing more success as a writer than as a performer. Still, he wasn't sure just how to take Walker's recommendation. "In my mind, TikTok was reserved for twerking and pranks," he says, but Walker's advice nevertheless stuck. "If you do something that catches fire on TikTok," Birge says, "you can get in front of a million people instantly, and so that piqued my interest."
He came across Chambers' video, wrote a quick melody and chorus based on the hook, and posted a video of him playing just the chorus of the song, which also went viral, increasing his follower count from 10 to 30,000 literally overnight. While Birge never intended to write a full song, he was encouraged to do so after being inundated with requests from viewers. "As a songwriter," Birge says, "I was flattered to get all these comments telling me how people could relate the story to their own lives."
Six months after the release of the song, Birge is signed to RECORDS Nashville and has a new single, "Mind on You," available on streaming platforms. He's also finishing up a tour and putting the final touches on his EP, which he expects will be released next year.
He also hopes, of course, that his TikTok sensation is the start of a long-lasting career. "Country music is my passion," he says. "It's what I love to do. And so far as I can take it, that's how far I want to go."

Q: Python, how to bring up page with Google Search results? On Python, is there a way you can to bring up a page showing results for a query? I don't want to get a list containing the URLs from google search; I want the program to open up a new tab showing the results from a google search. Is there any way to do this?

A: Sure. The standard library has the webbrowser module.
import webbrowser

webbrowser.open("https://www.google.com/search?q=xkcd%20python")

A: If you want to open up a new tab in a browser, you can use webbrowser:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)

where url is the URL you're aiming for. The documentation says:

Open url in a new page ("tab") of the default browser, if possible, otherwise equivalent to open_new().

A: Try using selenium:
from selenium import webdriver

query = input("What Would You Like To Search: ")

NATIVE HAWAIIAN SCHOLARSHIPS


We moved barns! I moved before the month was over but that was to ensure I could get back to riding ASAP. Bella had a couple of chill weeks, luckily your horse doesn't get out of shape instantly. I packed up my car (all but the saddle and trunk in the top right) the night before we moved. The day of all I had to do was throw the saddle and trunk (and my riding gear, forgot about that) into the truck & trailer and load up.
We didn't head straight to the new-old farm though (refresher: we moved back to the farm where I managed for five years so this is familiar territory for Bella and I), instead we went out on a hunter pace with J(2) and C!
I love riding with these ladies because the definitely just get it with Bella when she's being a bit of a punk. Poor J(2) on the Tan-Man riding with two bigger horses with a bit more get-up-and-go in the tanks. The pony is one of my favorite horses ever. He's got such a fun brain. C and Jake were out to have fun and (hopefully) walked away with some confidence about jumping some scarier looking natural jumps. Either way, I had a great time and we got in some good jumps ourselves.
I definitely need to work on not ducking to the right over jumps though. The first one is definitely all on me, the path was totally clear ahead of us. I'll be working on that at home by just really forcing myself to keep my eyes focused ahead. it's always been a bad habit to look toward where I'm going next over jumps and obviously that's led to some smaller issues that I'd like to iron out.
After the hunter pace I headed "home" with Bella and got her settled in.
Thankfully she was pretty tired so there were no dramatics with turning her out. She and the two boss mares had a moment, Josie (a TWH) sort of chased her around for a minute and within 15 minutes they were all nibbling at grass. Within 2 hours they were content out in the pasture. Overnight Bella became BFFs with a bay mare, Memphis, and we spent the next couple of days with Memphis screaming any time Bella was pulled from the pasture.
Because of Bella's anxious nature she's now being fed outside on the fence line with 3 of the other mares while the oldest of the group (so old I literally rode this mare in middle school) is pulled out to get fed inside.
Bella's got a fly sheet on, it's survived a week. She's remembering how to cross-tie without freaking out when I walk away to get something, and then my very first official day back where I went to go do some light trot work I locked my keys in my car and had to ride in sneakers and without a helmet (let's not even start in on that lecture okay?).
Since then I've ridden her down in the big ring, which is pretty daunting. The only time I have to ride is also when the trainer in the lower barn is teaching so we're just sort of dodging kids on horses the entire time. It's been okay though. It's good for Bella, good for me, and honestly it's nice to have people around even if I'm not talking to them or interacting with them other than to announce if I'm coming up on their inside/outside.
I jumped a couple of times at the end of the week (2 foot stuff) and she's actually been a monster about it. We're going to switch back to her elevator bit (she actually bolted with me on the hunter pace at the start and I didn't have any control even with the curb chain) and see how that works out for us.
Starting this week we'll be back to flatting and hopefully Sundays can be our "jump days" when there isn't a show at the farm. I may or may not do one more Hunter show at the end of the year (this is also the farm that hosted the show I did earlier this year) but with all the vet bills Jax just gave J & I I'm not entirely sure about it. I'm not too worried about missing out on shows, although it definitely wasn't in my plans, I'm glad our baby boy is going to be okay.

Tasman stamp (3rd of 3)
In 1940 the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi led to renewed interest in many aspects of New Zealand's past. A special centennial issue of stamps featured important events in the country's history. The twopenny stamp pictured here features Abel Tasman, and the chart of New Zealand's western coast which resulted from his voyage.

Internal Wars, Taxation, and State Building
This article addresses the question of whether and how internal wars can lead to state building. I offer a new conceptual framework for understanding the varied effects of internal conflict on state capacity, as measured through taxation. Contrary to the general scholarly consensus that internal wars make states fail, I hypothesize that like external wars, internal wars can lead to increased taxation when they enhance solidarity toward the state among the elite and motivate the state to strengthen and territorially expand the tax administration.
Critique of Glenn on Settler Colonialism and Bonilla-Silva on Critical Race Analysis from Indigenous Perspectives
I critique Glenn's article on settler colonialism and Bonilla-Silva's article on critical race analysis from Indigenous perspectives, including racial genocide and world-systems analysis, to cover five centuries of global systemic racism during the conquest of the Americas, by Spanish and English colonizers and United States imperialism. I also propose macro-structural, comparative-historical analysis of racism including the destruction, resistance, and revitalization of Native Nations and American Indians.
Michael Burawoy on "Sociology as a Vocation"
"What does it mean to live for sociology, today?" Michael Burawoy asks in his timely essay, "Sociology as a Vocation." Drawing on insights from Max Weber's classic lectures on science and politics, Burawoy argues that sociology is uniquely positioned to reinvigorate civil society and the university in the face of the relentless growth of marketization across the globe.

Sociology as a Vocation
Supporting Policy through Social Science
The American Sociological Association (ASA) recently played a key role in support of the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2016 ruling in the affirmative action case Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. The judgement allowed the university to continue using race as a factor in admissions decisions.
"Scientific research shows that having a diverse student body leads to a number of educational benefits, including a decline in prejudice, improvements in students' cognitive skills and self-confidence, and better classroom environments," said ASA Executive Officer Sally T. Hillsman.
ASA Task Force Issues Report on Evaluating Public Communication in Tenure and Promotion
Washington, DC — Increasingly, social scientists use multiple forms of communication to engage broader audiences with their research and contribute to solutions of the pressing problems of our time. Yet, in academia, it is unclear whether these efforts to communicate with the public should count when colleges and universities are evaluating scholars.
The Racism-Race Reification Process: A Mesolevel Political Economic Framework for Understanding Racial Health Disparities
The author makes the argument that many racial disparities in health are rooted in political economic processes that undergird racial residential segregation at the mesolevel—specifically, the neighborhood. The dual mortgage market is considered a key political economic context whereby racially marginalized people are isolated into degenerative ecological environments.
Socius Special Issue Call for Papers
Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World invites papers for a special issue on gender in the 2016 elections. We invite contributions on all topics relevant to gender and politics. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to): gender and the executive; women, social policy, and state legislative elections; intersectionality and the media; gender and public opinion; and women in changing political institutions. Informative papers on trends or cross-national comparisons are welcome as long as they are framed in relation to the 2016 U.S. election.
ASA Signs on to Letter to Congress in Support of Science Funding
The American Sociological Association signed on to a letter with 287 U.S. business, science and engineering, medical and health, and higher education organizations urging Congress to swiftly complete action on the FY 2017 appropriations process and to include robust investments in scientific research.
Gender Stratified Monopoly: Why Do I Earn Less and Pay More?
A modified version of Monopoly has long been used as a simulation exercise to teach inequality. Versions of Modified Monopoly (MM) have touched on minority status relative to inequality but without an exploration of the complex interaction between minority status and class. This article introduces Gender Stratified Monopoly (GSM), an adaptation that can be added to existing versions of MM as a step toward such a conversation. I draw on written student reflections and observations from five test courses over two years to demonstrate the effectiveness of GSM.
Review Essays: Making Money Matter
Author of The Sociology of Money (1994), Nigel Dodd advances the current fascination with "media of exchange," from his position at the London School of Economics, by wisely entering sustained dialogue with Marx and Simmel, as well as with many lesser lights from more recent times. This finely produced volume sports all the appurtenances nowadays expected of the serious monograph: comprehensive scope in digestible prose, plentiful footnotes, endless citations to, and dialogue with, other scholars' works, and a splendid bibliography in reduced font (pp. 395–420).

The Chula Vista Olympic Training Center is managed by Heavliand Landscape Management and is one of three training facilities in the United States.
Chula Vista is home to Chula Vista Olympic Training Center (CVOTC), the first U.S. Olympic Committee training center to be master-planned from the ground up. Chula Vista, located 7.5 miles south of San Diego and 7.5 miles north of the Mexican border, is a city of about 250,000 people.
The CVOTC is dedicated to the development and performance of America's future Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The year-round, warm-weather facility was a gift to the U.S. Olympic Committee from the San Diego National Sports Training Foundation, a group of dedicated business and community leaders and volunteers who raised the funds to build the center. It is one of three Olympic training centers in the U.S., the other two being in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Lake Placid, New York.
For the past eight years, the horticultural experts of Heaviland Landscape Management have maintained the beautiful 150-acre site that contains 1.2 million square feet of sports turf. They keep the fields in excellent and green condition from year to year with a program featuring annual overseeding and dethaching, and twice-a-year aeration, explains Oscar Hernandez, branch manager at Heaviland Landscape Management and a Landscape Industry Certified Technician.
Heaviland has six employees maintaining the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista full time, including a crew leader and an irrigation tech. They're on the property every day, Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. through 2:30 p.m. Hernandez conducts a weekly walk-through with the crew leader and meets with the facilities managers when needed.
Heaviland handles all types of landscaping on the property, from ornamental turf, sports fields, planter beds and even a small orange grove that is on-site. There are native areas on the property, and the company preserves that landscape by providing cleanup when necessary.
On the sports fields, Heaviland crews alternate mow patterns to prevent mower wear marks on the fields. The company also uses a perennial ryegrass blend for the all fields in the winter, which keeps the fields in playable condition with good color while the bermudagrass is dormant. During the normal maintenance over the year, crews mow at a 3/4-inch height. During annual scalping, they take it down to 1/2 inch and then dethatch, aerate and over-seed. During this time irrigation management and fertilization is critical for seed germination.
The property has issues with white grubs, and because of that they have raccoons and different vermin that go looking for the grubs. Heaviland provides a maintenance treatment plan to combat the grubs and keep the animals away.
Another unique challenge is coordinating field maintenance with coaches to work around different training schedules and events. For example, if there's a competition, the field can't be too wet or too dry. The company has to balance work around their schedules. The site was definitely busier when the 2016 Olympics athletes were getting ready, so it took additional work to coordinate around the athletes' training schedules.
