Co Antrim parents thank public for support after car broke down leaving them apart from sick daughter
Strangers offered the family their own cars after the parents' car engine failed

Little Evie Hope
The family of a sick baby have thanked the public for their kindness after their car broke down leaving them separated from their daughter.
Little Evie Hope was born prematurely on October 31 at 26 weeks and six days - she was due to be born in January 2021.
The Newtownabbey tot was diagnosed with a severe bleed on the brain when she was just hours old and has spent her short life in Antrim Area Hospital.
And last week her parents were left heartbroken as their car engine failed leaving them without transport to see their little one.

After a Belfast Live appeal, Evie's mum Emma said they were swamped with generosity and were also given a car to use by a local business while they sorted out a new family vehicle.
Emma said: "After Belfast Live wrote the article for us we were overwhelmed with the responses coming in. Before this our family and friends had been overly generous to help us as it was and we couldn't believe how many of them had donated and offered to help us in other ways too - so a special mention to all of them thank you so much. Evie can't wait to meet them all when it is safe to do so.
"But when people who didn't even know us started donating and offering to help by lending cars and paying for fuel and offering to take us to see Evie for free - it overwhelmed us. In no way did we expect the local community to be so generous - especially in such a hard time for everyone due to Covid. People that didn't even know us were commenting to wish Evie and our family well and donating to help our situation. It put our faith into humanity again.
"There's so much negativity in the world and all this positive energy coming in helped us feel better. Knowing that we would be able to provide comfort and care for our daughter and be able to take her to vital appointments and also be able to provide for our other four children, it meant the world to us. We both have severe mental health and so Public Transport isn't an option for us."
Chris Morton, from Curtis Cars in Ballymena got in touch with Belfast Live to offer his services to the family.
Within one day they had given Emma a car to use while to visit Evie in hospital.
"We didn't know what to say," Emma added.
"Chris messaged us that night asking us to contact on New Years Day. We spoke on the phone and Curtis Cars - the company who has given us the car to lend - sorted the insurance and Chris even dropped the car to our door the very next day. He went above and beyond to help us. Thanks to him we have been able to visit our beautiful girl in hospital and also view some cars ourselves so we can hand this new 208 back to Chris and the company.
Brave Evie Hope
"We can never thank him enough for his kindness and it's an act we will never forget and a story we can tell our children - so that when they are older they can lead by other peoples' kind examples and help those in need.
"To everyone out there who helped us and read our story.. who shared the article amongst friends and family and wished our baby girl all the best - from the bottom of our hearts we thank you and so does our beautiful girl Evie Hope."
Speaking to Belfast Live, Chris Morton, Sales Manager at Curtis Peugeot Ballymena said as a father, Evie's story hit home and he knew he needed to reach out.
"I came across the article on Belfast Live about little Evie on New Year's Eve night," he added.

"Having read about Emma and Deans car breaking down at such a difficult time in their lives and not being able to be by Evie's bedside, to me sounded unbearable. I decided to reach out to Emma and Dean with the help of Belfast Live and offer them the use of a fully insured vehicle while theirs was off the road, allowing them to travel and be by Evie's side.
"To my delight Emma and Dean accepted and received the car the following day. We at Curtis Peugeot Ballymena are glad that we could help a local family in need, at a time when community needs to pull together and help each other out."

Committee calls for patience as it probes alleged land grabbing
Author: Chany Ninrew | Published: Friday, January 14, 2022

Central Equatoria state governor has called for patience among the general public to allow the committee formed by President Kiir to solve the issue of land conflicts in the state.
Emmanuel Adil made the plea at a press briefing by the land committee in Juba yesterday.
The 12-member committee appointed by President Kiir in November last year was tasked to investigate the Garbo village incident and address the issue of rampant land grabbing around Juba city.
But the committee's work stalled in December last year after illegal settlers clashed with its members appointed by the President, east of the Nile River.
As a result, two civilians and a soldier were reportedly killed.
This then prompted the state government to deploy security forces in an attempt to diffuse tension in the area.
But the area community leader told Eye Radio that the security forces deployed in the area to prevent land related -conflicts became involved in demarcating the land for themselves.
Following complaints from the Garbo native, the forces were removed a few days later.
Speaking to the media yesterday, Governor Emmanuel Adil urged the public to desist from unauthorized land allotment until the committee completes its assignments.
"We call upon the public to be patient and to cooperate with the committee. The committee has started its work, and therefore the public has to cooperate with the committee as it undertakes this normal exercise," Governor Adil said.
"We direct that further illegal demarcation and allotment has to stop so that we solve this problem.
"Everybody wants to have a piece of land first for settlement, and as a nation of course, we have to have a clear method of how we settle people.
"People should by all means desist from demarcating a piece of land illegally because without government recognition, that piece of land would not have value, so therefore we want to announce that with this committee definitely this is going to solve the issue of informal settlement and land grabbing."

More than ever, we as a community must find ways to live together in harmony and learn to appreciate one another's cultures and traditions. The Community Dinner encourages people from all sectors of the community to join together to share a meal, enjoy entertainment and build lasting friendships. Last year over 600 people enjoyed a meal and musicale that reminded us of all the rich talent and generosity that characterize Orange County. We hope that you will want to be a part of the 22nd. Annual Community Dinner.
Feeding 700 people and all of our entertainers is a daunting task. Mama Dip's Kitchen and the Community Dinner Committee will coordinate the menu and together with other local chefs will provide the basis of the Dinner's main course.
We will need additional food again this year and are hoping to get many local restaurants and businesses involved in this celebration. Your donation of a side dish will help us feed the masses and your contribution is tax deductible.
Last year over ninety organizations, including twenty-five restaurants, gave generously to the event. Please consider giving a signature entree or side dish to the Dinner to complement the main menu. As a participant you will be recognized as a contributor in all our publicity, on our website and at the Dinner. The 2019 event date, a spring Sunday at 1:00 pm in the McDougle Schools Cafeteria in Carrboro, will be annouced soon.
The Community Dinner is not a fundraising, but a community building event and our fiscal agent is The Orange County Department of Human Rights and Relations. All food donations go directly to the dinner and you may be interested to know that we donate tickets to many people with disabilities including economically challenged families.
If you have any questions, please contact Nerys Levy at 919-932-1533 or rilevy@mindspring.com. Nerys will be happy to provide you with additional information and to answer any questions you may have. Please email Nerys with your pledge by February 20, 2019. We will then get back to you to acknowledge the donation and to make pick up arrangements.


Do the Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the One?
You invent stuff. Your colleagues over there in the [fill in the blank] department invent stuff, too. Together, everyone in your company collaborates to invent stuff, which you then sell for money. Outside people seem willing to trade their money for your stuff. Everybody wins.
That's the third-grade-level, Little Golden Book version of market dynamics and capitalism. Most of us grok the concept pretty easily. But of course, the reality is never that simple.
What if you didn't actually invent the stuff you're selling? What if, say, you just dug it up out of the ground (i.e., you're a miner)? Or found it lying on the street (a recycler)? Or stole it from somebody else (a thief or a fence)? Or, more germane to our industry, what if you saw an interesting new machine, liked how it worked, and then created your own version of it?
In the art world, that's known derisively as a derivative work – something not wholly original. And yet, there are very definite "schools" of art that all look (to the untrained eye) like the same style, or even the same painter. To be honest, I can't tell the difference between one velvet Elvis painting and another, although I'm sure the cognoscenti could explain the finer details. Architecture goes through stylistic phases; a colonial-style house from the late 1700s doesn't look anything like a 1950s tract home. Are similar styles derivative or a sign of progress?
All of these questions and others went through my head as I watched a bad cyber-thriller movie. (Like, "has the director ever used a computer?") In amidst all the faux technology and made-up McGuffins were a number of familiar technological tropes. For example, every object with a display screen, from cell phones to huge wall monitors, had a touch interface. Specifically, they all responded to the "pinch to zoom" gesture that's so familiar today. And I wondered, who invented that gesture? Who decided that touching a screen with two fingers and then moving them apart (or closer together) should change the on-screen magnification? It's a terrific innovation, in part because it's completely intuitive. Once you've done it one time (or seen someone else do it) it comes naturally. So much so that we sometime "pinch" screens that don't have touch interfaces. Like in the movie.
Is that guy rich now? Is he lounging on his own tropical island sipping umbrella drinks? Or is pinch-to-zoom one of those things that "just happened," with no specific inventor? The engineer who invented lighthouse lenses (Augustin-Jean Fresnel), utterly changed maritime navigation, saved thousands of lives, and enriched shipping companies the world over, yet he received nothing for his efforts. Well, apart from having his name engraved on the side of the Eiffel Tower in 10-foot-tall letters. That's pretty cool.
But back to the pinch-to-zoom: what if that innovation had been patented, copyrighted, or trade-secreted in such a way that it couldn't be used by anybody else? What if Apple, Samsung, HP, Nokia, and just about every other company in the world were locked out of that particular user-interface component? We'd have no pinch-to-zoom feature on any of our products.
Not a galactic-scale tragedy, to be sure, but a bummer nonetheless. That's a handy feature, and I'm glad that it's ubiquitous. Just like I'm glad that all cars have the same three pedals, steering wheel, and dashboard instruments. Or that QWERTY keyboards, not to mention piano keyboards, are standardized. Did the QWERTY guy get rich? Does some Medieval musician deserve the credit for claviers, harpsichords, and pianos? Life would have a bit less sparkle if those all had different user interfaces.
But if those innovations had inventors, isn't it up to the inventors to decide how they're used – or not? Does inventing something (or finding it in the ground, lying on the street, etc.) grant you the privilege – nay, the right – to determine its ultimate use? If you find a diamond in the dust, you're under no obligation to sell it, or even to tell anyone where you found it. If you discover a gold mine, you don't have to share its riches (not in most countries, anyway). And if you code an efficient new network protocol stack, you're under no obligation to use it, publish it, sell it, or open-source it. It's yours, to do with as you please.
Yet there's the contrary goal of the public good. If a semiconductor company is acquired by another company, which then kills off the former company's products and deep-sixes its technology, they've arguably damaged the industry as a whole. At the very least, they've probably annoyed several hundred engineers who used to use that company's products. What's the ethical obligation to keep a product alive and available on the market? Not very much; we see old products killed off all the time. That's natural product evolution, and it's especially prevalent in our industry. But what if you kill off a product just to remove it from the marketplace? The old saying that you can't have two bulls in a same pasture sometimes applies to tech products, where vendors will kill off one perfectly good product to protect sales of another. This is usually the after-effect of a merger or an acquisition, but it can also come about naturally with enough poor planning.
So let's say you're in charge of your company's "innovation monetization." You control the patent portfolio, the trademarks, the intellectual property, and (not incidentally) the engineers' compensation and overall morale. If someone in your group develops, discovers, or invents something useful, what do you do with it? In most firms, such innovations automatically become the property of the company, not the inventor(s), so this is a legitimate question. Somebody really does have to decide how, or whether, to commercialize a new development, whether or not to keep it under wraps, and whether or not to compensate the engineers who brought it to light. You also have the tricky problem of determining if it's actually original, or if your engineers just happened to see a competitor's demo at a trade show and decided to copy it. A "clean room" copy might be okay, or it might run afoul of IP laws in some far-off land. Ready, set, go.
And if you're an independent inventor toiling away in a garage somewhere, do you necessarily commercialize your new gizmo, protocol stack, or GUI innovation? Or do you sell/license the technology to someone else – and, if so, how much do you charge for it? How do you balance the public good (if any) against your personal gain? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one? What would Spock do?

Home Health Inflatable leg wraps may save life after stroke
Inflatable leg wraps may save life after stroke
According to a Scottish research, the cheap inflatable leg wraps may save the lives of patients after a stroke.
The devices regularly squeeze the legs to keep blood flowing and prevent formation of fatal blood clots.
A trial with 2,876 patients, published in the Lancet, showed there were fewer clots with the wraps.
The UK's Stroke Association said the results were "extremely encouraging" and had the potential to save thousands of lives.
A clot in the leg, a deep vein thrombosis, is normally associated with long flights, but is a problem for hospital patients unable to move.
Doctors at Western General Hospital and the University of Edinburgh said compression socks did not improve survival and clot-busting drugs led to other problems, including bleeding on the brain.
They tested the devices, which fit around the legs and fill with air every minute. They compress the legs and force the blood back to the heart.
They were worn for a month or until the patient recovered and was able to move again.
In the study, 8.5% of patients using the compression device developed blood clots, compared with 12.1% of patients who were treated normally.
According to a Scottish research, the cheap inflatable leg wraps may save the lives of patients after a stroke
Prof. Martin Dennis said: "At last we have a simple, safe and affordable treatment that reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis and even appears to reduce the risk of dying after a stroke.
"We estimate that this treatment could potentially help about 60,000 stroke patients each year in the UK.
"If this number were treated, we would prevent about 3,000 developing a deep vein thrombosis and perhaps save 1,500 lives."
He said the system should also be tested in other immobile patients, such as those with pneumonia.
Prof. Tony Rudd, who chairs the Intercollegiate Stroke Guideline Group at the Royal College of Physicians, said: "This study is a major breakthrough showing how a simple and safe treatment can save lives.
"It is one of the most important research studies to emerge from the field of stroke in recent years."
Dr. Dale Webb, of the Stroke Association charity, said: "The results of this research are extremely encouraging and show that using a compression device on the legs of patients at risk of developing blood clots could be a more effective treatment.
"This new device has the potential to save thousands of lives and we would like to see it incorporated into national clinical guidelines."

9 Ways We Help Educators Teach Students How to Use the Web
Dulcinea Media provides free content and tools that help educators teach students how to use the Web effectively.
We're thrilled with the rave reviews we've received from educators, many of which can be found here, and with the explosive growth in awareness and usage of our products by schools all over the world.
One remaining struggle is to make educators aware of the full range of our content and tools. We've published more than 700 Web Guides, nearly 10,000 articles, and now offer two search engines, a biographies index, a curated assortment of daily content, and much of our content in Spanish. Even we have trouble keeping track of it all.
So far we've created specific content this landing page for school librarians and this one for social studies educators.
But nothing organizes better than a list. So here are the 9 Ways We Help Educators Teach Students How to Use the Web:
1. We offer two custom search engines, SweetSearch and SweetSearch4Me, that should be used first for school research, by educators and students.
We recently explained why SweetSearch is the best search engine for students - and teachers love it, too! SweetSearch searches only Web sites that have been evaluated by our research experts and educator consultants. We're seeing that this makes it great for educators as well, whether looking for lesson plans or sources to share with students. You know those lists you've been bookmarking for years? SweetSearch is a searchable repository of all of them.
For younger learners, we recently introduced a beta version of SweetSearch4Me, which is the only search engine that prominently ranks high quality Websites created for elementary school students, and mixes them with accessible primary source sites.
We offer a widget for both SweetSearch and SweetSearch4Me, so you can embed them on your school Web sites. But the best way to get your students to use these superior tools is to add them on to every browser in your school; to do this for Firefox and Internet Explorer, just click the green Add-On box on the top right of SweetSearch.
2. SweetSearch Biographies helps your students discover inspiring and notable people they may not have heard of before.
As I discussed in a recent blog post, a complaint we hear often from educators is that students write the same handful of biographies every year, when there are thousands of inspiring people that students should write about. If they use our database of more than 1,000 biographies, filterable by profession, gender and race/national origin, you'll suddenly find yourself reading well-sourced biographies of remarkable people that you may not have heard of before.
A state testing agency recently asked to license our biographies for use in that state's English & Language Arts assessment for elementary school students. The agency found our biographies to be well-written, concise and yet comprehensive. We're proud to have produced a product that not only teaches real-world Web research skills, and at the same time helps "teach to the test."
3. SweetSearch2Day offers a curated assortment of the best daily educational content on the Web.
Thousands of Websites offer content about today's birthdays or events in history, the photo/video/poem/quote of the day, news feeds, news quizzes, etc. It's impossible for busy educators to keep track of it all and evaluate its credibility and usefulness. Happily, we've done that for you. SweetSearch2Day was recently released in beta, and you'll see lots of new content added to it every month.
A satellite site of SweetSearch2Day is Interview of the Day, which features compelling historic interviews that lets students hear inspiring people in their own words. I happen to think it's the single best idea we've had thus far.
4. Our Ten Steps to Better Web Research is the best Web search tutorial on the Web.
Students need a lot of help in finding, evaluating and using information they need on the Internet. Ten Steps breaks the process of Web research into these three phases and ten individual steps. We believe it is the best Web research tutorial you'll find anywhere. We're also about to release a greatly expanded version, for a modest fee, that includes videos, quizzes, activities, etc. that reinforce the lessons learned. We've also published this presentation on teaching the Ten Steps; it has been viewed 30,000 times in ten months.
5. Beyond the Headlines serves as a model for your students to follow for writing papers.
Students need role models, right? We've written thousands of headline articles about the topics you study in class. We find additional background or reference information on the topic, related topics and opposing points of view. We integrate all this information into a cohesive, comprehensive look at the topic, and link to our sources, which we align in a single box. Exactly what you'd like to see your students do, right? We show them how.
A white paper released in November 2010 by Temple University Media Education Professor Renee Hobbs, sponsored by The Knight Commission, included Beyond the Headlines in its "Portraits of Success: Powerful Voices for Kids" and wrote, "Finding Dulcinea... addresses the 'context deficit' that occurs with online searching."
6. Our Web Guides provide a guided tour of the best Web sites about your subject.
Before assigning a research project, search for credible resources your students can use. Our 700+ Web guides are a collection of such resources. For example, our Web Guide to U.S. History features useful sites that help teachers and students find the best primary and secondary sources from Native Americans to the early settlers to the 1980s.
For librarians, we offer Sweet Sites, a distilled version of our education Web Guides, divided into teacher and student pages for high school, middle school and elementary school. Feel free to link to these pages, or even copy the links you like onto your own library Web site.
7. findingEducation helps you find, and share, great resources with your students and colleagues.
findingEducation is a free tool that helps you find the best online resources and share them with students and colleagues. It is a meeting place for educators to share insight and outstanding links, assignments and lesson plans. Take our video tour to learn more.
If used broadly enough, findingEducation has the potential to replace textbooks in many disciplines. Once we attract thousands of teachers, all contributing assignments and links to online resources about a particular subject, it will become a giant, searchable repository of lesson plans about that subject. When you find a few brilliant assignment pages, you can synthesize them to make your own. A few iterations in, and members of this site will be producing lesson plans and assignments far better than anything produced in textbook-based classrooms today.
8. We've built a bridge for your Spanish-speaking ESL students.
Due to the fact that native Spanish-speaking students may have trouble finding resources on the Web, we created EncontrandoDulcinea, a "Bridge for Spanish Speakers." Now Spanish-speaking students and their parents can read a Spanish language narrative guide to the best sites in English and Spanish. Students that are learning English or Spanish can also read a number of our news and features on both sites, including our On This Day feature, which is available in Spanish as Hoy en la Historia.
9. We offer presentations on how to build your own personal learning network, and other topics.
The only way we could create all these great products is with the awesome input and feedback we get from the brilliant, dedicated and passionate educators in our learning networks.
We know you may not visit us every day, so we come to you!
We know your hectic schedule doesn't have always a slot that says "visit findingDulcinea." So we come to you! Our free e-mail newsletter arrives at your inbox with an overview of On This Day and our Happy Birthday biography feature, as well as links to our best education articles.
Many teachers ask their students to sign up for our newsletter as well. Of course, many students don't use e-mail any more, because they virtually live on Facebook. Ask your students to become a fan of findingDulcinea on Facebook, and we'll occasionally interrupt their "urgent" status updates with some inspiring and educational content.
Please also follow us on Twitter @findingDulcinea
Help us help you. E-mail us at info@dulcineamedia.com or direct message us on Twitter @findingDulcinea and let us know what we can do better. We'd love to hear from you.

'No, no, no, no, no': Famous actress refuses to play Omarosa in biopic
'No, no, no, no, no': Famous actress refuses to play Omarosa in biopic
August 20, 2018 | Tom Tillison | Print Article
Actress Vivica A. Fox couldn't get the "no" out fast enough when presented with the possibility of playing Omarosa Manigault Newman in a movie.
Asked about that possibility by a TMZ camera guy, Fox not only said no, but she said it repeatedly. And then she took a pot shot at President Donald Trump.
"That's not a role I would play, fortunately," she added. "But I will say that if they do decide to make her movie, it's definitely full of scandal, myself as an actress I'd have no desire to play that."
"It depends on how good that book does. If that book sells, they may do the story of Omarosa," she said about the possibility of others taking the role. "If it doesn't, she'll just have to ride off into the sunset."
Fox then took a veiled shot at Trump while mixing up her metaphors.
"On a donkey," she continued, "because she connected herself to an *ss and when you lay down with dogs, you get fleas."
As for snubbing Omarosa, that appears to be the chic thing to do, with even CNN said to be giving the former realty TV star a cold shoulder — which is huge, given that she is peddling anti-Trump wares.
Page Six reported that the controversial former White House staffer hasn't been able to book an appearance on CNN.
CNN anchor Don Lemon was said to have passed on an interview with Omarosa and a scheduled appearance Sunday on "State of the Union," featuring Jake Tapper, was reportedly cancelled by the network.
The latest from Omarosa is that Trump "wants to start a race war in this country," as she told race hustler Al Sharpton on Sunday. That assertion ranking up there with a claim in her book that the president will deport the first lady, Melania Trump, if she divorces him — never mind that she is now a U.S. citizen.
"If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave him while he's in office, he would find a way to punish her," she wrote.
Suddenly, avoiding Omarosa seems like a really smart thing to do.

The Hawkeye State of Iowa sits in the Midwest Region of the United States and Des Moines is both its capital and largest city. The Mississippi River delineates Iowa's eastern border with Nebraska and the Missouri and Big Sioux Rivers forms the boundary with Wisconsin and Illinois on its western flank. Back in 1846, Iowa was the 29th state to be admitted to the Union and since then – barring the odd Civil War, Depression and World War – it has never looked back.
The Iowa Golf Association has been serving male golfers in the state since 1900 and it currently provides governance to registered members in 170 clubs. The ladies equivalent, the Iowa Women's Golf Association, was formed in 1927 though, interestingly, female golfers had been playing tournaments in conjunction with the men's state events since 1902.
Two Golden Age layouts deserve special mention and they are William Langford's Wakonda Club in Des Moines and C.H. Alison's Davenport Country Club in Pleasant Valley. Completed in 1922 and 1924 respectively, they've not been immune to alteration down the years but they're still well worth trying to befriend a member in order to get a game. Of a more recent vintage, Pete Dye's North and South layouts at Des Moines Country Club and the Tom Fazio-designed course at Glen Oaks Country Club are excellent modern courses whilst Keith Foster's new millennium creation at Harvester is widely recognised as the best in state – what's more, it's a public access track that allows daily fee play.
Our Iowa Best In State Rankings were last updated in July 2018. Click the link to read the story.

Top 100 Golf Courses - Iowa
A CH Alison design from 1924, the course at Davenport Country Club was remodelled by Bob Lohman in 2000 when he created a new 1st hole and realigned the 9th, moving the green close to Conduit Creek.
Ron Pritchard has been retained by members of Cedar Rapids Country Club to oversee the faithful restoration of a course that's said to be the only Donald Ross-designed layout in the Hawkeye state.
Des Moines (South)
The South course is one of two challenging Pete Dye-designed layouts at Des Moines Golf & Country Club, it's where the US Senior Open was held in 1999...
Des Moines (North)
Des Moines Golf & Country Club moved to its current site in 1969 when Pete Dye designed both courses, the longer and more difficult of which is the North layout.
Wakonda
Site of the US Amateur Championship in 1963, the course at the Wakonda Club was set out on a somewhat constricted parcel of land by William Langford in 1922...
Spirit Hollow
Spirit Hollow Golf Course lies four and half miles south of Burlington and its fairways are laid out in two circuits, with the front nine routed around a residential development.
Glen Oaks Country Club
Venue of the Principal Charity Classic on the PGA Tour Champions circuit from 2006 to 2012, the course at Glen Oaks Country Club is a Tom Fazio design that's laid out within a residential development to the west of Des Moines.
Blue Top Ridge at Riverside
The Blue Top Ridge course at the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort is a Rees Jones design that debuted in 2009. Holes are laid out on the floodplain of the meandering Iowa River with several fairways routed around man-made lakes.
Tournament Club of Iowa
Situated between Saylorville Lake and Big Creek State Park, the course at the Tournament Club of Iowa is an Arnold Palmer layout that brings water into play at more than half the holes on the card.
The Falls at Grand Falls Casino
Located in the northwest corner of Iowa, the Falls at Grand Falls Casino course is a Rees Jones layout which takes its design inspiration from the casino resort courses around Las Vegas.

Suffolk Liberal Democrats select Justice campaigner as their Police & Crime Commissioner candidate.
Justice campaigner and former Parliamentary Candidate James Sandbach has been selected as the Liberal Democrats' candidate for the upcoming Police and Crime Commissioner election in Suffolk.
James has been involved in Suffolk politics for several years having been the Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate in Suffolk Coastal (2015 and 2017) and Central Suffolk and North Ipswich (2019). He lives in Saxmundham where he is Town Councillor.
Professionally, James has an active background in the voluntary sector, the justice system and the challenges it faces - over the past 15 years he has worked for leading national charities Citizens Advice, the Legal Action Group, and LawWorks (the solicitors pro bono group).
On the upcoming election, James said: - I am delighted to have been selected to be the Lib Dem PCC candidate for Suffolk. The PCC has an important role
in supporting our fantastic local police force, and ensuring the policing needs of all of Suffolk's communities are met.
Since I moved to Suffolk, I've been struck by the ever-diminishing emphasis on community policing - police numbers down, local stations closed, and the thin blue line stretched far too thinly. I strongly believe that when it comes to fighting crime, anti-social behaviour and low-level disorder, prevention and deterrence is always the best approach but to do that well there must be a strong bond between the police and local communities, accessibility, and a visible presence.
I'm looking forward to talking to communities across Suffolk about their concerns and my priority will be to fight for better funding and resources to support the police in the vital work they do in the community."

California's annual snowpack has long provided a water banking system that releases water gradually through the spring and summer months. Should average statewide temperatures continue to rise, researchers worry that future winter precipitation that normally falls as snow could instead fall as rain, making reservoirs like Isabella Lake (shown here) and many others in California even more vital. Additional longterm storage of water — including new aquifer storage — would likely become critical under such circumstances.
Casey Christie for The Californian
Several fruit and nut crops, including almonds, cherries, and pistachios like these grown at Quailwood Farms in Buttonwillow, require a minimum number of "chilling hours" during the trees' wintertime dormancy period to produce at their maximum potential. As average annual temperatures have risen in the valley over the past decade, some local growers have reported problems related to lack of chilling hours.

Sean de Guzman, right, chief of snow surveys for the California Department of Water Resources, plunges a snow survey tube into the snowpack during the first snow survey of the season at Phillips Station near Echo Summit earlier this month. Climate models agree that California will become warmer. The increased temperatures will mean more precipitation will fall as rain instead of snow, according to the state Department of Water Resources.

Five of the past six years have been the warmest in Bakersfield's recorded history
By STEVEN MAYER smayer@bakersfield.com
Is Bakersfield's climate changing? Is the entire southern valley getting warmer?
Yes. And no.
According to the National Weather Service's Hanford station, five of the past six years have been the five warmest in Bakersfield's recorded history. Since the turn of the millennium Bakersfield has experienced nine years that were ranked, on average, among the warmest 20 since records started being kept in 1893.
Fresno, Bakersfield's cousin to the north, is seeing even more dramatic warming.
Brian Ochs, a meteorologist at NWS Hanford who compiles a wide range of statistics, found that the past eight years have been the warmest eight years in Fresno's history.
One reason the average temperatures have been higher is because minimum temperatures have been higher, Ochs said. It's not that the maximum highs are getting hotter, it's that the overnight lows, on average, are not dipping as low.
"In terms of the annual average temperature at Bakersfield and Fresno, seven of the last eight years (or each of the years during 2012 through 2019, except 2013) have reached at least in the top 14 warmest years on record," Ochs said in an email. "The last eight years at Fresno have been the top eight warmest on record, while 2014 through 2018 were the five warmest for Bakersfield."
According to Ochs, annual average temperatures have been rising throughout California and much of the world, and are likely due to both natural and human causes.
"An example of a human cause is an increase in concrete and asphalt that tends to absorb much of the solar radiation and allow temperatures to warm, especially during the overnight hours (also known as the Urban Heat Island effect)," he said. "So, a lot of this warming is reflected in both daytime high and overnight low temperatures, although urban heat island studies tend to show a lesser extent in terms of the response to daytime high temperatures. Natural causes can consist of cycles in radiation directly from the sun, volcanic activity, and upper atmospheric phenomena."
A Caltrans report released last year, which focused on Kern County as well as Madera, Fresno, Tulare and Kings counties, evaluated risks, including extreme temperatures, increased precipitation, storm surge, wildfire risk and sea level rise.
"Climate change is an immediate and escalating threat to California and its transportation system, and Caltrans is being proactive," Caltrans Director Laurie Berman said in a statement. "We are looking at where the state highway system is vulnerable, so we can address issues moving forward."
Extreme weather events associated with climate change are already disrupting and damaging the state's roadway infrastructure and has potential for more severe impacts in the future, Caltrans concluded.
Climate models agree that California will become warmer. The increased temperatures mean more precipitation will fall as rain instead of snow, according to the state Department of Water Resources. And that has huge implications for water storage and availability.
Daniel Sumner, an ag economist at UC Davis, said researchers across the state are busy studying the changing patterns of California's Mediterranean climate.
"We don't look at the average annual temperature," he said. "It's not that interesting."
When it comes to the effect climate change could have on the Central Valley — California's fruit basket — Sumner said researchers aren't seeing changes in summertime high temperatures. Instead, they're seeing increases in wintertime lows.
The warmer nights are a "big deal," he said.
Not only do warmer nights limit the all-important chilling hours for some of the valley's most valuable crops, it opens the door to damaging pests.
"Winter cold controls some pests."
But the "big headline," Sumner said, is this: "Winter snow might fall as rain. If that happens, we aren't ever going to have enough reservoir space for it."

.....warming unleashed ----mostly by humans' burning of fossil fuels---- is continuing virtually unabated.
(CNN) Earth endured its second-hottest year on record in 2019, NASA and NOAA scientists announced Wednesday, capping a decade they say was the warmest in recorded history.
The annual global climate assessment offers more evidence that the dangerous warming unleashed mostly by humans' burning of fossil fuels is continuing virtually unabated.
And combined with the recent news that global emissions of heat-trapping gases reached a new record high last year, it's a sign that so far, international efforts to contain the climate crisis are failing.
Oceans are warming at the same rate as if five Hiroshima bombs were dropped in every second

30,000 years ago Europe was covered in ice. I am sure we also set warmth records back then for all those glaciers to start retreating northward. What was the cause back then without automobiles?

That wasn't a liberal piece. It wasn't anything, but a throw out there in order to say, " yeh, we wrote about climate change"

Are you joking ? Truly ?
This news media's owner and staff needs to get real.
" An example of a human cause is an increase in concrete and asphalt that tends to absorb much of the solar radiation and allow temperatures to warm, especially during the overnight hours (also known as the Urban Heat Island effect)," he said."
This is your one and only example of human cause? As if this article was intended for Vegas and their vast growth.
Come on. Really, where is your science reporter? Where is lifestyle ? There is a gaping hole in education within this community.
You have county supervisors who say they can't wrap their heads around this and one specifically said he doesn't understand crude oil compared to light oil.
Each of the supervisors parroted some silly fear mongering & cultural shaming of other countries.
When, in fact, the descriptions were perfect examples of Bakersfield. Misogyny, narrow faith beliefs, dislike of gays, environmental spills....
Either education is needed or admitting that greed is more important than the health of others, but you can't have it both .ways.

Conventional radiography has been considered the primary tool for the investigation of bone and joint disorders. However, the muscles, joints, connective tissues and vascular structures of the upper and lower extremities are particularly well suited for ultrasound examination due to their superficial nature. Therefore, in the past decade, ultrasound has taken on an important role, often as a primary tool for the investigation of many joint injuries and pathologies. As an added bonus, ultrasound is very cost effective when compared to other imaging studies like MRI or CT Scanning.
For these reasons, the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound have expanded considerably in the past few years.

When photographer Jeffrey Aaronson received a call from Newsweek in 1984 to photograph Steve Jobs, he had no idea who Steve Jobs was or what impact Jobs was about to have on his life or the world. The personal computer had yet to be "officially" born.
Steve & i: One Photographer's Improbable Journey with Steve Jobs tells the captivating story of a young photographer and a young entrepreneur, and the friendship they forge when they are both twenty-nine years old—just as Aaronson is beginning to offer the world a new view through his lens and Jobs is beginning his mission to change it by introducing the most user-friendly computer ever conceived.
This 38-page powerhouse of a book is packed with personal anecdotes and rarely seen photographs, which not only chronicle the launch of the first Macintosh personal computer, but also capture the essence of Steve Jobs the man before he became the icon.
It's a must read for those who want to experience and be inspired by a side of Steve Jobs that few people have glimpsed.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to several leading cancer research institutes in hopes of helping find a cure for the disease that took Steve Jobs' life far too soon.
"A critical moment of shared inspiration is captured in this short but sweet profile of an intimate friendship between two highly motivated young men, forged immediately in trust and professional integrity. A rare, honest glimpse into the ensuing creative sparks that fly in the early blossoming careers and bonding of two visionaries who decide to be inspired by others AND courageously follow their callings and dreams. Bravo!"
"This is a sweet little book about a hugely talented and creative photographer's relationship with a hugely talented and creative entrepreneur. With warmth, insight, and keen appreciation, Jeffrey brings back to life a man who for all his reputed prickliness and short temper was capable of simple, deep friendship."
"Photographers and Apple fans alike won't want to miss this moving portrait of a private but profoundly influential man."
Jeffrey Aaronson is an internationally recognized photographer who has flown over a million miles crisscrossing the globe in pursuit of photographic stories. For more than two decades Aaronson worked on assignment for many of America's top publications--everyone from Time, Newsweek and National Geographic Society to Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and The New York Times Magazine. During that time he ventured to nearly every corner of the world. From the shores of the Pacific to the high peaks of the Himalayas to the heart of the Sahara Desert--he pursued Komodo Dragons in Indonesia, boated down the Yangtze River in China, side-stepped the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and ventured into some of the most remote regions of the world. He also photographed everything from China's Democracy Movement in Tiananmen Square to Nelson Mandela's inauguration in South Africa to life behind North Korea's Iron Curtain.


Stop everything you're doing right now—Dyson is branching out into the beauty world, and they're launching a hair dryer that will fully make you feel like Judy Jetson. The project has been four years in the making, and not unlike your transition from freshman to senior year, the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer has been on its own long, strange journey with 600 prototypes built, and approximately 1,010 miles of human hair tested in the process. We're so glad she's finally graduating and entering the real world. Shaped like a tiny Dyson fan on a handle, the tool features a tiny digital motor designed to crank out the most powerful airflow we've ever experienced, meaning your styling time will be cut down dramatically. It's much quieter than your traditional hair dryer courtesy of the lucky 13 blades in the motor, which take the noise level to a frequency above our audible range.
The Supersonic also comes with big news for the health of your hair. Thanks to a glass bead sensor that measures the temperature 20 times per second, you don't have to worry about it overheating, and the air will stay at a steady 194 degrees Fahrenheit. "Hair dryers can be heavy, ineffecient, and make a racket. By looking at them further, we realized that they can also cause extreme heat damage to hair," James Dyson says. "I challenged our engineers to really understand the science of hair, and develop our version of a hair dryer, which we think solves these problems." Despite the heat, the exterior of the dryer will stay cool to the touch, as the hot air is contained within sheets of cold air that are closest to the surface. Additionally, the dryer comes equipped with three different nozzles—a diffuser, a smoothing nozzle, and focused styling concentrator—for all your styling needs.
Further solidifying the match made in hair heaven, Dyson has named celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin as their ambassador. "If you know anything about me, you know I'm a lover of innovation and new technology, and the Dyson Supersonic is just that," Atkin says. "The motor is much smaller, but still very powerful, so I can dry hair quickly and it feels light in my hand. Plus, the aesthetic is so gorgeous." We second that.

STURGEON BAY - A preliminary hearing has been scheduled in Door County Circuit Court for a De Pere man accused of child enticement.
Richard A. Whiting of De Pere, 33, and Zerie D. Baker of Green Bay, 40, were arrested March 20 after a statewide search ended for a missing 17-year-old. The Sturgeon Bay teen left home March 13 and turned himself in March 17 at a gas station in suburban Chicago.
Whiting is charged with one count of child enticement as a party to a crime. Baker is charged with one count of child enticement as a party to a crime and one count of soliciting a child for prostitution.

RELATED: Complaints filed in missing teen case
Baker had been communicating with the teen for about a month using a dating app, according to the criminal complaint. At one point, Baker allegedly offered the teen money for sex. Baker and Whiting picked up the teen in Sturgeon Bay and took him back to Baker's Green Bay apartment, where Baker allegedly offered the teen drugs and alcohol while he was in the apartment. The men also engaged in sexual acts with the teen, the complaint said.
Whiting, who is still in custody, was in court for his initial appearance and his attorney, Aileen Henry, appeared via phone. Door County District Attorney Colleen Nordin was also in court.
Henry, at Whiting's request, asked Judge David Weber to schedule a preliminary hearing. The hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. April 13.

Baker, who is also still in custody, told Weber he had been unable to secure an attorney through the Public Defender's Office.
"The office has been stretched due to a rash of criminal activity here in Door County and appointment of many lawyers, but I don't know of any reason somebody from their office wouldn't have called you," Weber told Baker.
Baker stressed to Weber that he had been in the Door County Jail for almost three weeks without counsel.

Public defender Peter Heyne, who was in the jail meeting with a client, called the courtroom at Weber's request and explained that the public defender's office is working to find someone who is qualified to handle the charges against the defendant. Heyne cannot serve as Baker's attorney due to conflict of interest. The attorney agreed to meet with Baker after the hearing to explain the delay. Heyne also assured Weber he would talk to someone at the office about getting in touch with Baker.
Baker's adjourned initial appearance is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. April 18.

Predicting 2021: Thoughts from 8 Industry Associations
2020 was a year full of events that no one could have predicted. We asked leaders from across different media associations to share their thoughts on what the future holds, including how COVID-19 will continue to impact businesses, what we should look forward to in 2021 and what word businesses should use for guidance in the new year. Here are our interviewees:
David Chavern, President & CEO, News Media Alliance
Sammy Garrett and Lisa Pistilli, President and President-Elect 2021, The Media & Content Marketing Association
Derek Lackey, Chairman, Response Marketing Association, and Managing Director, Newport Thomson
Shannon Lewis, President, Canadian Media Directors' Council
Michelle Manafy, Editorial Director, Digital Content Next
Maria Ravera, President, Great Western Audience Alliance
Simon Redlich, President, International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Certification and Chief Executive, ABC UK
Dean Ridings, CEO, America's Newspapers
While each response uniquely reflected their specific industries, we saw many common threads including: continued flexibility in remote work, business diversification and continued flexibility.
How do you think COVID-19 will continue to impact the media and marketing industries in 2021?
Sammy Garrett and Lisa Pistilli: Live events will most likely be delayed through Q3 in 2021. Folks will continue to look for and optimize workable, scalable alternatives.
Derek Lackey: Authentic personalization has never been so important to a marketer. For some, their customers are gone. If you bet your customers will come back and they don't, you might use all your resources staying alive while you wait. It might help to ask yourself: what does my customer truly need today?
Shannon Lewis: We will see brands and the media industry collaborate more than ever and at a local level. Consumers' renewed refocus on their local communities amid the pandemic will become a long-term trend. You can also see this as brands finding new ways to connect consumers via local businesses. Multimedia advertising campaigns are encouraging consumers to shop locally, while offering financial incentives to customers who support small businesses. This movement is here to stay.
Budgets will remain tight, but I expect to see some radical thinking about business models.
- Simon Redlich, IFABC and ABC UK
Michelle Manafy: Several trends that were simmering came to a full boil in 2020 and will certainly spill into 2021, most notably ecommerce. Other changes were subtler, but likely to stick, such as a focus on family, health, and home. Aspirations have turned inward as we've all grown more introspective and reevaluated priorities, particularly in light of the social and economic disparities that came into stark relief in 2020.
Maria Ravera: COVID has acted as an accelerant, leading news media companies to make changes—that may have been part of their long-term strategy—far sooner. The reduction of print days is one example, with many news media companies reconfiguring distribution and delivery of content. The silver lining is that our industry has become more nimble.
Simon Redlich: It has already accelerated existing trends and—in some ways—freed people up to think the previously unthinkable. Budgets will remain tight, but I expect to see some radical thinking about business models.
What's one trend from 2020 you think will become permanent in 2021?
David Chavern: The pandemic forced news publishers to innovate faster and to dial in to their subscription and audience engagement efforts more intentionally. And they did it because they knew their readers wanted localized information about global and national events, and that they trusted news publishers to provide it. News publishers saw the opportunity, and while they provided (and still provide) much of their coronavirus-related content for free, they capitalized on the opportunity to gain new subscribers by showing readers the value of their products. I think we will see publishers continue to innovate and introduce new products and services, and they will continue to act on cues from their readers that will help grow their subscriber bases even more. And I think most new subscribers will stay, even after the pandemic is over.
One of the biggest lessons for all of us is that we don't have a fixed amount of resilience. Instead, it is a muscle we can build.
- Shannon Lewis, Canadian Media Directors' Council
Sammy Garrett and Lisa Pistilli: Virtual and hybrid events will become a mainstay in 2021 with extensions beyond the current available platforms and experiences, such as Zoom. The reach, affordability and flexibility of virtual and hybrid events made them the big winners in 2020.
Derek Lackey: People will continue to think before buying. Consuming everything on impulse has taken a serious hit in 2020. People focused on what they really need rather than what they simply like. The lesson for businesses: be relevant to your audience.
Shannon Lewis: Resilient leadership. Resilience is a word that we are hearing a lot in 2020 that will carry to the new year. I think about qualities of being stronger in the face of adversity—being more determined, courageous, creative, and optimistic. One of the biggest lessons for all of us is that we don't have a fixed amount of resilience. Instead, it is a muscle we can build. And it's a springboard for the creativity that will drive a vibrant media industry through the recovery and beyond.
Maria Ravera: Our members have identified that working from home is likely to continue. Tools such as Zoom, video calls, Slack or chat have enabled immediacy and connection. However, companies may see fatigue against the "always-on" mentality and need to rethink employee well-being.
Dean Ridings: The remote workplace will continue into 2021 and beyond. Many companies have seen minimal change in their employees' productivity, and those that are able to reduce their real estate expenses are doing so.
What should the industry look forward to in 2021?
David Chavern: Compensation arrangements with the tech platforms for use of news publishers' content are long overdue, and this year we finally started to see progress with governments in France and Australia saying they will require Google and Facebook to pay news publishers for use of their content. The News Media Alliance has actively supported a bill in the U.S.—the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act—that would give news publishers the ability to collectively negotiate with the big tech platforms for fair compensation for use of their content. The bill aims to finally make the tech platforms accountable for their anticompetitive behaviors, which harm the sustainability of high-quality journalism.
Sammy Garrett and Lisa Pistilli: Live events toward the end of the year and exciting, new hybrid events that broaden the scope of prior in-person events. Everything learned in 2020 will be used to make 2021 and onward more engaging and available to a wider audience.
Derek Lackey: Data protection and privacy is changing the industry dramatically. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Rights Privacy Act (CPRA) will change the media industry in the coming years. Canada recently announced the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA)—a revision to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act (PIPEDA) with very strong enforcement measures. I believe consumers have been sending signals of unhappiness to brands that did not respect their privacy rights. With increased awareness regarding personal privacy, this will only increase in 2021. Take good care of your subscribers. If you treat them well and put them first, you will likely be beyond compliance.
Michelle Manafy: Optimism will make a comeback in 2021. We've all found ourselves marching along on a long slog through 2020. But now there really is just enough light ahead that we can again look forward with optimism. The industry will be changed, but some of the changes will be for the better. I am ready for it!
Maria Ravera: 2021 will be the year of transformation. With the profound strategic changes ahead in content delivery, digital marketing, and technology platforms, we need to move into a leadership position in local communities and with partners, in ways that support both relevance and revenue generation.
Take good care of your subscribers. If you treat them well and put them first, you will likely be beyond compliance.
- Derek Lackey, Response Marketing Association and Newport Thomson
Simon Redlich: A heightened awareness of the need for quality content. And on the macro level—vaccines, some clarity around Brexit (maybe!) and January 20.
Dean Ridings: In 2020 we've seen an acceleration of trends that have been going on for the past decade. I expect these to continue in 2021. Digital subscriptions are growing and will likely continue to grow, although not at quite the same pace as this year. While FSIs continue to be a viable marketing vehicle, legacy retailers that have been impacted by the pandemic cut back on their FSIs at Thanksgiving at a higher rate. I wouldn't be surprised if the decline in FSI revenue continues at a higher pace than previous to 2020.
What's one word your clients should use to guide their businesses in 2021 and why?
David Chavern: Engagement. Our members have done amazing work to grow their audiences, and a key piece of that is cultivating and improving engagement. For example, publishers that have been through the Table Stakes program and embraced its key principles of modern publishing have seen their audience engagement—and their subscriptions—skyrocket. Through understanding what is important to their audience, news publishers can tailor everything from their content, to their media formats and platforms, to their subscription sign-up process, to increase new subscriber conversions and reduce churn. The recipients of our 2019 John P. Murray Award for Excellence in Audience Development all found success through making engagement a priority.
While creative solutions continue to characterize our industry, smart leaders are diversifying their strategies, from business models to marketing channels and more.
- Michelle Manafy, Digital Content Next
Sammy Garrett and Lisa Pistilli: Inspired. 2020 challenged the industry in so many ways; from events to digital property investment, publishers and industry service providers were forced to create, adapt and adjust to the new day-to-day reality. This experience will only attract a wider, more influential audience in 2021 and beyond.
Derek Lackey: Customer. We have collectively taken our eye off the ball—the one thing that truly causes business success. Trashing your relationship with a group of customers to make the quarterly stock market expectations has a tangible cost, which is not always immediately evident. This is the source of the "customers are no longer loyal" mentality. We are taking them for granted and they know it.
Michelle Manafy: Diversification. It became apparent that one way of doing business, or one route to success could be met by a roadblock at any turn. While creative solutions continue to characterize our industry, smart leaders are diversifying their strategies, from business models to marketing channels and more.
Maria Ravera: Our motto is: Connect. Learn. Drive change. The year 2021 will require active participation with colleagues, data analysis and iteration, and the willingness to make bold decisions.
Engagement. Our members have done amazing work to grow their audiences, and a key piece of that is cultivating and improving engagement.
- David Chavern, News Media Alliance
Simon Redlich: Scenarios. The current high levels of uncertainty make agreeing on a plan well-nigh impossible. Scenario planning to cover a range of possibilities will be a necessity.
Dean Ridings: Service. Customer service is always important, and that means delivering what the customer orders, whether it is a subscription or an ad, digital or print. Many newspapers have reduced their quality of service because of cost-cutting measures, but if you don't love your customers, they won't love you back.
