Chain Reaction is an Android logical game designed specifically to practice spatial thinking and prediction skills. It's already available on Google Play. It has built-in 100 levels with varied difficulties. Each level contains colored blocks arranged in a chess-like manner. Two neighboring blocks cannot have the same color! That's the key! Each block (square or hexagon) can be rotated over other given block. Player's goal is to destroy all the blocks on each level. But there's a catch! The level must be solved by using the smallest number of moves made by the player.
To rotate any block in desired direction first it needs to be selected. Selection is done by single touching or holding finger over given block. Special touchpad will emerge after that.
The orange fuzzy point is the touchpad knob used for choosing rotation direction. Selected direction will be highlighted by the three green pulsing arrows, exactly the way presented in the animations above and below.
blocks that don't have any neighbors in all eight directions will dissolve!
The game has a 3 star rating system for each level. When the player solves given level using smallest possible number of moves – he will earn a gold star rating of course. If the level is solved using one extra move, then the player will earn a silver star rating. The bronze star is received for using two additional moves.
Golden rating is received when the level is solved using the smallest possible number of moves – each level has a guaranteed solution with this number of steps. That's important! Please remember that, even if sometimes level seems impossible to be solved.
Silver Star rating is received when the given level is solved using one extra move. It's possible to restart level later and try again to beat the previous rating.
Level is marked with Bronze Star rating when it's solved using two additional moves.
Each level has a clearly defined limit of moves that the player can make. As mentioned before this number did not come from nowhere. The limit of moves was calculated for each level separately by using special brute-force algorithm – the solution finder. Solution finder is checking one by one almost all possible moves. Each time when the algorithm finds a solution – it immediately tries to find another better solution.
The complexity of the search depends not only on the type of the block (square or hexagon) and number of the blocks but also on how those blocks are arranged on the level grid. Some levels in the game required the algorithm to check more than 2.000.000.000 moves before finding the best solution (and the lowest number of moves needed to solve it). Because of the way the levels were generated and solved it is guaranteed that each one of the 100 levels in Chain Reaction is solvable.

Download the 10240 Build of Windows 10 Insider Preview ISO with just one click, without registration. It comes with a safe official offline installer for Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10240 ISO.
Microsoft has been providing users who wish to take a peak into the future of Windows the possibility to do so. There have been a couple of Windows 10 Builds available for download, and it seems that their approach is actually helping make the end product better. The most recent build is called Insider Preview (as opposed to the previous Technical Preview). There are a bunch of things that are new in this build, so allow me to mention some of them.
General interface improvements and adjustments are present in the Insider Preview, including some animation tweaks and better support for high-DPI displays. Numerous users have asked Microsoft to bring back Aero Glass from Windows 7, and the company is working on it, which can be spotted in the latest build. The highly-appraised Continuum feature (which switches from touches-oriented mode to keyboard- and mouse-oriented mode transparently to the user) has been improved. New default system sounds have been changed, which is something users have been wanting to see.
Music and Video apps have been improved, for instance, Music Preview received some interface adjustments including a fully functional full screen mode. Video Preview will show you the new features when you launch it for the first time; it now allows you to download movies and TV content, as well as control the download process with abilities to stop, resume, or cancel your download. Paid content can also be watched with subtitles.
Windows Store now features a unified look that was announced at the Build 2015 conference. The apps that have been purchased for PC under Windows 8.1 will now be displayed in the beta version of the Store on Windows 10. Support for a wider number of countries has also been added.

A new report says a 'shadow state' is emerging in which a small number of large companies providing outsourced public services are becoming too big or complex to fail, with serious consequences for Britain's economy and communities.
The Shadow State report from Social Enterprise UK sets out evidence that points to companies providing lower-quality services in their drive to maximise shareholder profits. The report says these private firms, contracted by central and local government, are difficult to hold to account and operate without transparency.
Decades of outsourcing by successive governments now means that £82billion, a third of the spend on public sector commissioning and procurement, is spent on independent providers. Accelerated by recent policies, the Health and Social Care Act, The Work Programme and Welfare Reform Act, this is predicted to rise to £140billion by 2014. The lion's share is going to large firms and their shareholders, resulting in money moving out of the public realm and being turned into private wealth.
At the same time evidence shows that social enterprises and charities are being squeezed out of public service markets. Civil society organisations that have a legal responsibility to pursue their social mission above profit, that put people and communities first, and that reinvest their profits to improve the quality and number of services are not faring well.
Polling for The Shadow State has identified public dissatisfaction about shareholders making profits from the delivery of public services. Two thirds of UK adults believe it is unacceptable for shareholders to profit from running hospitals and health services, children's homes police services, and care homes for elderly and disabled people.
Research in The Shadow State reveals the extent to which private firms delivering public services are cutting costs to maximise profits for investors. It outlines evidence showing some firms are placing vulnerable children in residential care homes in parts of the country often many miles from home, cutting individuals off from any friends or family, but where property prices are lowest and therefore cheapest – this is despite councils paying private firms an average of £200,000 per year, per child.
The report also says that profit-seeking firms bidding for public sector contracts on price often creates a 'race to the bottom' on wages as they seek to increase shareholder profit – fuelling low pay. The Shadow State argues that low pay fuels inequality, leaving workers and families in poverty, while a minority benefit at their expense. Taxpayers often have to make up the shortfall, financing benefits for the working poor.
The report says urgent action is needed to strengthen the Public Services (Social Value) Act, due to become law in January, which has the potential to create more transparent markets with a range of providers. The legislation should ensure a more level playing field for social enterprises and charities to bid alongside traditional private sector providers by making sure that the additional 'social value' they create is taken into account when public service contracts are drawn up.

The dissemination and diffusion of innovations: what helps managers to lead change in the district health system?
Written by Marsha Orgill on 04 December 2019 .
A key challenge of top-down policy formulation is that those on the ground - in health districts, health facilities and communities - are typically excluded from the process. They often do not have full information on the policy's rationale and/or full details on how to implement it. This can result in the policy implementation or know-do gap.
It is therefore important for policy formulators to effectively disseminate information on the rationale, content and system requirements of new policy to frontline implementers, especially those who must lead and manage the change. Managers on the ground must be able to make sense of the change for themselves and translate new policies for their staff, although some information will also spread through natural diffusion.
Fortunately, there are lenses to help us think about the dissemination and diffusion of new policies and programmes. Diffusion and dissemination exist on a continuum: dissemination strategies are formal, planned efforts to persuade target groups to adopt an innovation (often centralised and occurring through vertical hierarchies) whereas in pure diffusion, the spread of innovations is unplanned, informal, decentralised, and largely mediated by peers (Greenhalgh et al. 2003).
In this blog I summarise findings from a paper in which I sought to garner key lessons about what dissemination strategies (or lack thereof) make life easier or more difficult for senior managers in health districts to adopt reforms. I looked at the period 2012 – early 2014 when the national government introduced new innovations into the National Health Insurance pilot districts in South Africa. I interviewed 37 senior managers in three health districts and found:
Reform champions can play a role in disseminating information. A roadshow by the Minister of Health helped managers to make sense of the rationale for reforms, including the need for change and an integrated PHC platform. Face-to-face time with the Minister also made managers feel valued.
When ideas underpinning new reforms aligned well with existing ideas and programmes in the district, it was easier to diffuse reforms into the district.
When articulating the innovations to stakeholders, it helped to show how they linked to existing policies in the health system; demonstrating continuity between practices.
Managers need early information about which new actors (donors, NGO partners etc.) will be arriving in their districts to support change. They also valued pre-scheduled visits from national government to align with the routine district activities already planned.
To lead change, managers need full information on the how, why and what to do of individual innovations, as well as lessons on how it had worked in other contexts. This helps them to understand the innovations and disseminate information to their staff.
Dissemination and diffusion is not a once-off activity. Managers successfully employed some of the new reforms to support the implementation of other reforms later introduced in the same district. For example, a new team of district clinical specialists helped to develop an induction programme for a group of private general practitioners contracting into the public sector.
NHI coordinators, who served as project managers, helped to anchor the reforms in the district, as they explicitly liaised up, down and across the health system. The NHI coordinators valued being accepted as part of the district management team.
It is helpful if some members of the innovation team have a history in the district, supporting them to capitalize on existing networks, which enables further dissemination.
It is helpful to link new members of the management team with others who have institutional memory to help them navigate the system. For example a new NHI coordinator attended meetings with someone who had long been in charge of PHC in the district to help with his confidence.
When support teams from national government assist in managing change, it helps if they are open minded to the local context shaping the reform to support local needs, can make decisions quickly and are responsive to requests for information.
Managers know what the basic needs in their districts are, so provide them with some space to also fix existing local problems through harnessing these new resources.
Chronic systemic challenges make it hard to implement change, especially in contexts with vacancies and a history of poor performance, but new innovations like NHI piloting also bring funding and renewed interest which can improve life in the district.
Senior managers in the district health system are critical boundary spanners between top-down reforms and local implementation. Those who work at the top must think strategically about how to be most helpful when disseminating information about reforms and think through mechanisms that enable managers to influence their staff to adopt reforms. Senior managers hold a critical space between national policies and lower levels of government.

Narcissists more likely to post revenge porn online
Revenge porn is the act of sharing intimate, sexually graphic images and/or videos of another person onto public online platforms, such as Facebook.

Narcissists and those with psychopathic traits, like impulsivity and lack of empathy, are more likely to post revenge porn online, suggests a study that found there is a link between revenge porn proclivity and specific psychological characteristics.
The findings, published in the International Journal of Technoethics, showed that those with higher levels of the 'Dark Triad' of psychological characteristics, which comprises of persons endorsing psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism, are more likely to engage in revenge porn.
Machiavellianism refers to a personality trait that involves employment of cunning means to achieve one's goals.
The research led by Afroditi Pina of University of Kent in Britain also found that a majority of people endorse the use of revenge porn.
The study involved responses from 100 adults aged 18-54.
Although only 29 per cent of participants in the study reported a likelihood to engage in revenge porn activity, 99 per cent of people expressed at least some approval of revenge porn being posted online when presented with a scenario about a partner walking out on them.
The researchers also found that 87 per cent of participants expressed at least some excitement or amusement with revenge porn.
The researchers concluded that, although most participants would be "unlikely to commit an act of revenge porn themselves", there is an "acceptance" among the majority of behaviour they know is "frequently occurring online".
This could have significant implications "especially if one considers the facilitating role of online bystanders in the rapid dissemination of revenge porn materials", the researchers said.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS: Todd Baker of Bakers Candies said Christmas sales were "phenomenal" as the company celebrated its first holiday season in the new retail outlet store. (Staff Photo by Pamela Thompson)
Holiday sales sweeter for Baker's Candies with new outlet store
By Pamela Thompson
GREENWOOD – Phenomenal.
That's how Todd Baker describes sales at his family's candy outlet store this year.
"This is easily a record year." Baker said.
Baker, who owns and operates the gourmet chocolate business with his father Kevin and his brother Paul, said his family is grateful for the financial boost the new 6,000 square foot outlet store has given them.
Foot traffic has increased 30 percent since the new outlet store opened in September, he said.
Dianne Abel, retail manager, said she loves the new space, which features wider aisles, original artwork and an overall lighter, brighter retail space.
"The new space allowed business to flow a lot easier this Christmas season," Abel said. "We had four registers going so people were happy they didn't have to wait in line."
Abel estimates that sales during the month of December, more than doubled at the outlet store.
"It's been pretty exceptional," Abel said. "In fact it's been hard keeping enough of our products on the shelves."
With this holiday season marking the first Christmas in the new store, which faces Highway 6 on Greenwood's southern end, Baker called the sales jump "a wish list tidal wave."
He estimates 30 million chocolates were sold in the state of Nebraska, which would give 17 to 18 chocolates to each resident. By that model, Baker's chocolates "are the most popular Christmas gift in Nebraska," he said.
Baker said the sales are steady in the candy industry from October to May, with the most important holidays starting with Halloween, and stretching from Christmas to Valentine's Day and Easter to Mother's Day.
"We work hard at Christmas, but then we go right into Valentine's Day with no let up," he said.
For Baker and his factory and retail staff, there's really no let up until June.
"June is a good month to go fishing," he said grinning from ear to ear. "That's about the only time my family can take an annual fishing trip the week of Father's Day."
Baker credits the new outlet store, strategically located between Lincoln and Omaha and accessible to Interstate 80, for putting Greenwood – a town with 400 residents – on the map as one of the state's most popular shopping destinations.
"Now, we're cemented as Nebraska's chocolate," he said.
Baker said the company appreciates being known for producing world class chocolate meltaways synonymous with the state of Nebraska.
According to the company's website the term "meltaway" is "a designation of honor given only to the most superlative chocolate confections: a chocolate so decadent and smooth that it literally "melts-a-way," when applied to the tongue."
Kevin Baker founded Bakers Candies Inc. in 1987. The plant's original retail outlet store opened to the public before Valentine's Day 1988. The business quickly grew to become one of the Midwest's largest premier chocolate manufacturers.
Today, Baker's utilizes four fully automated production lines capable of producing more than 2,000 pounds of its signature meltaways each day. The chocolates are produced in a 25,000 square foot plant next to the outlet store. Annually, the plant produces more than a half-million pounds of meltaways each year.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.1, 2008jul02 Note that these instructions apply to Stata for Windows only. The materials are contained in two zip files: rsbook_stata_web.zip and rsbook_ado.zip. The examples are best run using Stata 10, although the vast majority will work fine with Stata 9.2. rsbook_stata_web.zip comprises a folder containing Stata .do files for each of chapters 1 through 6, and parts of chapters 7 and 11 (\chap1, \chap2, ...), a folder (\data) containing the data files (see note 1 below) and an empty folder (\output) to contain log files and graph files created by running the examples. rsbook_ado.zip contains all the required ado-files (Stata programs) for the examples. Most of these have help files that you can read in Stata (i.e. help ). To run the examples, do the following: 1. On your computer, make a folder to hold the book materials (e.g. c:\rsbook - the assumed default). We will suppose for the purposes of these instructions that the folder is called c:\rsbook, although you can use any pathname acceptable to Windows. 2. Start Stata and issue the command "sysdir". A typical example is as follows: . sysdir STATA: C:\Program Files\Stata10\ UPDATES: C:\Program Files\Stata10\ado\updates\ BASE: C:\Program Files\Stata10\ado\base\ SITE: C:\Program Files\Stata10\ado\site\ PLUS: c:\ado\stbplus\ PERSONAL: c:\ado\personal\ OLDPLACE: c:\ado\ Note the folder labelled PERSONAL - here, it is called "c:\ado\personal\". Check on your computer if this folder and its "parent" (here, c:\ado) exist. If they don't exist, please create them. 3. From the book's website, download rsbook_stata_web.zip and rsbook_ado.zip to c:\rsbook (or to the book folder you wish to use). 4. Extract rsbook_stata.zip to c:\rsbook (or to the book folder you wish to use). 5. Extract rsbook_ado.zip to c:\ado\personal (or to the folder labelled PERSONAL reported by Stata's -sysdir-). 6. Using a plain text editor such as Notepad, edit the file mvmb_profile.ado which you will find in c:\ado\personal (or in the PERSONAL folder reported by Stata's -sysdir-). Change line 24 to read local BOOKDIR "c:\rsbook" or to give the pathname of the folder you wish to use for the book, if that isn't c:\rsbook. 7. In Stata, navigate to c:\rsbook by typing cd "c:\rsbook" (or navigate similarly to your preferred folder for the book). 8. Test your installation by typing . do rsbook_test This file should run without any error messages. If not, check that you have entered BOOKDIR correctly in mvmb_profile.ado, and that you have extracted rsbook_stata_web.zip correctly. 9. To run an example, say ch1_f01.do in chapter 1 to recreate figure 1.1, navigate in Stata to chap1 (e.g. type cd chap1) and then type do ch1_f01. If all is well, the example should run and create graph files (.gph for Stata graph files, .eps for encapsulated Postscript files, .emf for Windows enhanced metafiles) representing figure 1.1 (see page 3 of the book) in the folder c:\rsbook\output (or in the subfolder \output of your preferred folder for the book). Similarly, if the example produces data for a table, a log file in plain text format with the extension ".sto" will be created in the c:\rsbook\output folder. 10. If you wish, you may now delete the files rsbook_stata_web.zip and rsbook_ado.zip. Important notes =============== 1. Examples ----------- We have provided Stata programs for many of the figures and tables relating to modelling with FP, MFP and MFPI. This will enable you to reproduce a substantial number of the analyses on your own computer. 2. Datafiles ------------ Currently, a few of the data sets used in the book are unavailable. Nevertheless, the do-files are still included where relevant. 3. Support ---------- Where possible, we will respond to queries arising from your use of the programs or about MFP in general. However, please understand that we may not be able to reply to every single query.

La Batalla de Palo Alto fue el primer combate formal de la invasión estadounidense o Guerra de Intervención Estadounidense y tuvo lugar el 8 de mayo de 1846 entre el Ejército mexicano y el Ejército estadounidense a 8 kilómetros de la actual ciudad de Brownsville, Texas. Una fuerza de aproximadamente 3400 soldados mexicanos (una parte del Ejército del Norte) comandada por el general Mariano Arista, con las Brigadas de Infantería de los Generales Pedro Ampudia y Rómulo Díaz de la Vega, así como la Brigada de Caballería de Anastasio Torrejón enfrentaron a una fuerza de 2400 soldados invasores de los Estados Unidos.

Inicios

La batalla ocurrió como consecuencia de los esfuerzos mexicanos para acabar con una instalación del ejército estadounidense en territorio mexicano, la Fortaleza o Fuerte Texas, que dio lugar al llamado Sitio de la Fortaleza Texas, en que los mexicanos observaron como los estadounidenses ya tenían construido en territorio mexicano, hasta un fuerte. El general Zachary Taylor, recibiendo provisiones del Puerto Isabel, enterado de los combates en Brownsville, acudió en ayuda de los defensores del fuerte. Los mexicanos ya habían comenzado a tirotear la Fortaleza Texas con los fuegos de la plaza de Matamoros. Taylor juntó sus tropas y se movilizó en auxilio de los defensores de la fortaleza, pero fue interceptado por una columna mexicana comandada por el general Mariano Arista que ya sabía las intenciones del general estadounidense. Otra fuerza mexicana de 1540 hombres, incluyendo 14 cañones de la plaza de Matamoros y los Batallones de Activos de México, Puebla y Morelia, el Regimiento Auxiliar de las Villas del Norte y la Guardia Nacional de Matamoros, bajo el mando del General Francisco Mejía, quedó asediando la Fortaleza Texas, y capturó sus trincheras externas tras un ataque el 5 de mayo.

Batalla

El ejército del general Mariano Arista fue desplegado a lo ancho de una milla en un terreno desfavorable, lo que hizo imposible realizar movimientos tácticos e implicó el riesgo de recibir cargas de bayoneta estadounidenses sobre sus posiciones. Taylor, en un movimiento improbable, avanzó su artillería para atacar al enemigo. Antes de empeñar su infantería, los invasores usaron una nueva táctica que resultó inesperada para los combatientes mexicanos, pues utilizaron su artillería ligera (Flying Artillery) para atacar rápidamente las posiciones mexicanas y además la artillería pesada para destruir las formaciones lejanas; todas estas acciones dirigidas por el Comandante Samuel Ringgold. La artillería mexicana, pesada, anticuada y lenta, era difícil de maniobrar en las colinas de Palo Alto. Mariano Arista entonces ordenó cargas de caballería sobre el flanco de los artilleros y así neutralizar las armas estadounidenses, que eran mucho más modernas que las mexicanas; esta acción si ayudó mucho para contrarrestar la diferencia de armamento entre los ejércitos y causó la muerte de Samuel Ringgold entre otros jefes, pero no fue suficiente para obtener una victoria.

Consecuencias

Después del primer día Taylor encontró que, a pesar del resultado dudoso del combate, los mexicanos se habían retirado del campo de batalla y se habían movido hacia un paraje cercano, la Resaca de Guerrero o de la Palma. Los mexicanos sufrieron muchas más víctimas comparadas con las de los estadounidenses por varios motivos, entre otros: la impericia de Arista en su despliegue; el ejército mexicano tenía menos pólvora que los invasores, acortando la gama de sus obuses y el alcance de sus mosquetes y que la pólvora mexicana era de mala calidad y tenía una tendencia de explotar antes de tiempo. Es así que estos factores contribuyeron a que murieran muchos mexicanos al momento de tratar de cargar sus cartuchos y otros no lo hicieran; además, el armamento mexicano tenía una antigüedad tecnológica de casi 100 años y no era posible sustituirlo a causa del bloqueo naval estadounidense, lo que se haría evidente a lo largo de la guerra.

PLEASE NOTE: JC CLASSICS IS TRANSITIONING FROM A BASE BLEND OF 70/30 PG/VG BASE TO A 60/40 PG/VG BASE. WHEN THE 70/30 BASE E-JUICE STOCK IS DEPLETED IT WILL BE REPLACED BY THE 60/40 BASE.
Bought the 30ml because the 10ml did not have the strength that I wanted. Its a good flavour, tastes just like the gummies. Not as much vapour production as I'd like though. Decent all day vape, but there are better choices from JC.
Tastes like coke bottle gummies. This was the first flavour I used and still use once in awhile. Good for an all day smoke.
The taste this E-Juice produces is pretty much EXACTLY like the cola-bottle penny candies from your childhood. I suggest running this liquid a bit on the cooler side for full effect. The flavor can overwhelm you very quickly. Try mixing in a little bit of Root Beer flavored E-Juice for a really unique experience.
Yep, it really tastes just like 'em. JC always seems to go a bit light on the flavor density for what I like but if you run a bit cooler and take slow puffs and bellowing draws you really get the best flavor. Running too hot just burns the flavor. Definitely worth getting 30ml of this you were/are a fan of the cola bottle gummies, you won't be disappointed. Tasted just as good in my top feeder as the bottom feeder clearomizer for me as well.

The story of the rise of Fortnite wasn't just about Fortnite itself, but about the culture it gave rise to, and how it made celebrities out of certain talented, entertaining players like Ninja, Myth, Dr.Lupo, Tfue and others. Even if they'd been playing games at top levels for years, Fortnite was their breakout moment to become global superstars.
So, let me introduce you to NRG Dizzy, who in the past week has already become an icon in Respawn's surprise megahit, Apex Legends.
That kill record was when I first heard of Dizzy, but later that same day, I saw that he was actually put on a team with Ninja and his NRG teammate KingRichard for the Twitch Rivals Apex Legends event. That's a big stage to hit so quickly, but Dizzy did not disappoint. Over the course of a few thrilling hours, Dizzy led his team to a win that had them securing victory by a single point over the second place squad in an event that included the likes of streaming superstars such as Shroud, DrDisrespect, TimtheTatman, Courage and more.
While everyone on the team performed admirably (I was watching Ninja's stream most of the time), it was Dizzy who was a standout player. You'd hear Ninja say "Ah I only have two kills this game," and then Dizzy would chime in, "Oh it's okay, I have 12." This guy signed with NRG literally four days ago, and as Apex continues to explode, so will his profile, if he keeps up this kind of performance.
What other games were you into before Apex Legends?
Dizzy: Mainly Counter-Strike was my main game for the longest time. I have some other games here and there, but probably Fortnite too, then when Apex Legends came out I fell in love with it. I put 100% into it the first day the game came out. I streamed it for 21 hours, I had so much fun enjoying a fresh battle royale.
How did you end up on the Ninja/KingRichard Apex team for Twitch Rivals? What was it like to win on that kind of stage?
Dizzy: I met Richard through Twitter. I've been grinding out Apex Legends so much and been playing mainly Wraith so I was able to keep track of my stats. I played so much that I was ahead of everyone. I heard about the Twitch Rivals Apex Legends tournament and was super interested, but had no contact for getting in. Richard tweeted out that he was possibly a team captain for it and I replied with a picture of my stats to see if he was interested and he was and saw that I was very talented at the game and gave me a chance. To win was amazing, so many people were watching and it was unreal, I never thought this day would come I never really played in a big tournament and I gave it my 100%, and with the communication and teamwork with Richard and Ninja we were able to pull it off and win. I had so much fun and felt amazing to win.
Some people (not me) literally cannot believe your stats. 4K+ kills, 33 in a single game. What is your strategy for mass kill games? And how many hours do you think you've played since launch?
Dizzy: My strategy for mass kill games is to drop, loot as quick as possible and just run at everyone and just take every fight that I can. It's risky but I just would queue solo and run off on my own and try to get as many kills as possible. In the end it's RNG whether a lot of people die off spawn or if people stay alive. The amount of hours I've put in since launch is probably around ~90 to 100 hours. On Origin it says 61, though.
What's next? What are your plans for your Apex/streaming/esports career?
Dizzy: My plans are to grind out streaming. Full-time streaming was my dream, and not only that, I want to be a competitive player and compete in Apex Legends. This is only the beginning for me.
Thanks to Dizzy for speaking with me after such a crazy day. Keep an eye on this kid. He's going places.

How Products Were Evaluated
Ginseng is the dried root of one of several species of the Araliaceae family of herbs. The most commonly used type is Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A., Meyer), often sold as Panax, Chinese, or Korean ginseng.
Closely related to Asian ginseng is American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.), which interestingly, is more widely used in China than in America and is sometimes preferred for its milder effects. A large amount of American ginseng is grown in Wisconsin and sold as Wisconsin ginseng.
So-called "Siberian" or "Russian" ginseng, more properly Eleutherococcus senticosus (eleuthero) Rupr. ex Maxim, is only distantly related to true ginseng, and does not contain the same active compounds. For this reason, Eleutherococcus products were not included in this Review. Eleuthero is also considered weaker in action and is a less expensive ingredient.
When ginseng root is left mostly unprocessed it is called "white ginseng." "Red ginseng" refers to Asian ginseng root when it has been steamed and dried. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these various forms of ginseng have different properties. However, the current scientific evidence is not advanced enough to determine these differences in an objective way.
Ginseng-containing foods and dietary supplements are typically made from a powder or extract of "white" or "red" ginseng root.
Ginseng is widely used in the United States with the belief that it will improve overall energy and vitality, particularly during times of fatigue or stress. While there is little meaningful scientific evidence to support an energy boosting effect in the general population, a placebo-controlled study found ginseng to reduce self-reported cancer-related fatigue -- which can occur even after cancer is successfully treated. In the study, people taking 2,000 mg of American ginseng root powder daily for 8 weeks showed a statistically significant improvement in energy (of about 10 points on a 100-point self-reported fatigue scale) compared to those taking placebo, with no difference in side effects. Fatigue was most improved among those actively being treated for cancer, as opposed to those treated in the past -- with significant improvements occurring earlier in this subgroup (within just 4 weeks of ginseng use) (Barton, JNCI 2013). The researchers point out that good treatments for cancer-related fatigue are not available. Although preliminary (non-human) data suggests that ginseng does not interfere with the activity of many common chemotherapeutic agents (tamoxifen, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and methotrexate), these interactions have not been well studied. Consequently, the researchers suggest that it would be reasonable for a cancer survivor to try American ginseng for related fatigue. The ginseng studied was from Wisconsin, contained 3% ginsenosides, and was taken daily as two 500 mg capsules at breakfast and again at noon. The study was preceded by a smaller pilot study which also showed benefit, although the product at that time contained 5% ginsenosides.
There is some preliminary evidence that American ginseng and Korean Red ginseng (from Panax ginseng) may reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes (see Encyclopedia article about Diabetes). A study in Canada among 24 older men and women with type 2 diabetes (most of whom were taking antidiabetes medication) found that 1 gram of American ginseng extract (9.67% ginsenosides) taken three times daily (40 minutes before each meal) for two months modestly reduced fasting blood glucose (- 0.71 mmol/L), HbA1c (- 0.29%), and systolic blood pressure (- 5.6 mmHg) compared to placebo. The total daily dose of extract (CNT 2000, Chai-Na-Ta Corp., Langley, BC) was 3 grams, which provided 290 mg of ginsenosides (Vuksan, Eur J Nutr 2018).
There is also evidence that a hydrolyzed Panax ginseng extract can improve fasting and post-prandial (after-eating) glucose levels, based on a study in which adults with impaired fasting glucose were given 480 mg of hydrolyzed Panax ginsengextract (1.7% ginsenosides) after breakfast and again after dinner (providing a total daily dose of about 16 mg ginsenosides and 6 mg of compound K). After 8 weeks, those taking the extract had significantly lower plasma glucose levels after fasting and after ingesting a glucose drink compared to those taking a placebo. There was no significant change in insulin secretion and no adverse effects were reported (Park, J Ginseng Res 2014). Note: The hydrolyzed ginseng used in this study, conducted in South Korea, does not appear to be available in the U.S. Be aware, however, that research has also shown that ordinary Panax ginseng (non-hydrolyzed) might raise blood sugar levels and be harmful in diabetes (See Concerns and Cautions).
A study in Korea among men with metabolic syndrome who took 3 grams of red ginseng high in ginsenosides (about 17%) daily for one month found there was no significant improvement in most measures of health (including systolic blood pressure, BMI, fasting blood sugar, insulin and cholesterol levels), compared to placebo. However, there were small increases in blood levels of total testosterone (from 396 to 418 ng/mL ) and IGF-1 (from 145 to 167 ng/mL) -- hormones which can be low in men with metabolic syndrome — as well as a small decrease (5 mmHg) in diastolic blood pressure (Jung, Complement Ther Med 2016).
Studies using an American ginseng proprietary extract (Cold-FX) suggest that it might help prevent the common cold. However, this was not a standard ginseng extract as it contained a very high concentration of polysaccharides. There is preliminary evidence that Asian ginseng may also help reduce the chance of colds and flus.
A concentrated extract of Korean Red ginseng showed promise in improving symptoms of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) without adverse effects in children ages 6 to 15. In the 8-week, placebo-controlled study, children with ADHD were given 1 gram of extract (consumed as a liquid from a pouch) twice a day (Ko, J Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol 2014). Hyperactivity scores (means) decreased significantly more among those given ginseng (from 3.09 to 1.76) than placebo (3.81 to 3.03). Inattention scores also decreased significantly in the ginseng group (from 6.39 to 4.03), although not significantly more than in the placebo group (5.70 to 4.57). The ginseng group also had a greater decrease in brain wave activity (TBR) indicative ADHD, but not in levels of stress hormones (cortisol and DHEA). Details were not reported about the chemical composition of extract, which was provided by the Korea Ginseng Corporation which funded the study, but without intervention, and which appears to sell a similar liquid pouch product but in a larger dose (3 grams per pouch). A pilot study using American ginseng combined with Gingko biloba also indicated improvement in symptoms of ADHD (Lyon, J Psychiatry Neurosci 2001).
Two studies enrolling a total of 135 men support the use of Panax ginseng for enhancing sexual function in men. One of these studies was a 3-month double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated the effects of Korean red ginseng (steamed and heat-dried Panax ginseng) in 90 men with erectile dysfunction. Participants received either red ginseng at a dose of 1,800 mg daily, the drug trazodone (an antidepressant with marginal effects on erectile dysfunction) or placebo. The results indicated that red ginseng worked better than both the placebo and trazodone treatments (Choi, Int J Impot Res 1995). Contrary to some reports, ginseng does not appear to affect estrogen or testosterone levels or mimic their effects.
Other studies have looked at the role of even higher doses of red ginseng in sexual function. One study in Brazil examined the effects of 3,000 mg of red Korean ginseng versus placebo in men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. Sixty-six percent of the men using ginseng saw an improvement in their erections while there was no significant improvement among men receiving placebo (de Andrade, Asian J. Anrdol. 2007).
Korean red ginseng may also improve sexual arousal in menopausal women. A double blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study in Korea comparing the effects of 3,000 mg of red ginseng to placebo in 28 women (average age 51 years old) found a significant improvement in arousal. No severe side effects were reported although 2 women experienced vaginal bleeding while taking the ginseng product (Oh, J Sex Med 2010).
A study among 80 women in Korea with cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet (CHHF -- which can include Raynaud's phenomenon) found those who took six capsules of red Korean ginseng twice daily (a total daily dose of 6,000 mg of ginseng containing 3.4% ginsenosides) for two months had significantly higher skin temperature in hands and feet, less discomfort, and improved response to cold exposure compared to those who took a placebo (Park, J Ethnopharmacol 2014).
Other uses of various forms of ginseng with weak or contradictory supporting evidence include enhancing mental function and general well being (Panax ginseng) and stimulating the immune system (Panax ginseng). (See the Ginseng article in the Encyclopedia for more information about uses.)
Plant chemicals called ginsenosides are hypothesized to play a role in ginseng's biological activity. They are considered "marker" compounds for ginseng — that is, their presence (or absence) and their chemical profiles can indicate the type and quality of ginseng in a product. It is strongly suspected that different ginsenosides have different effects, but not enough is known to make definitive statements about which ginsenosides are most important for a specific proposed use of ginseng.
Quality Concerns and What CL Tested for:
Quality and quantity of ginseng: Ginseng is expected to contain specific minimum amounts of ginsenosides. Levels of these are sometimes advertised on product packaging. Previous testing by ConsumerLab.com has shown that not all products meet the standards or their claims — either because too little ginseng is used or it is of poor quality. Apparently, recent tests of teas claiming to provide ginseng found that AriZona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey contained "no detectable ginsenosides," (hence, little or no ginseng) but ginseng was present in products from Republic of Tea and Starbucks (United States District Court of Eastern NY, 2019).
Pesticides and heavy metals: ConsumerLab.com has found pesticide and heavy-metal contamination in the past in ginseng products in the U.S. and Japan. The pesticides pentachloronitrobenzene (known as quintozene or PCNB) and lindane are not allowed for use on U.S. food crops because they are possible carcinogens that may also be toxic to the liver and kidneys and may impair oxygen transport in the blood. Another potentially carcinogenic pesticide, hexachlorobenzene, has been banned from most food-crop use throughout the world.
Ability to Break Apart (Disintegrate): Supplements sold as tablets and caplets (except enteric coated, chewable and time-release formulas) must be able to break apart properly in the stomach in order to release their ingredients. From time to time, ConsumerLab.com has found supplements that do not fully break apart.
Because no government agency is responsible for routinely testing ginseng supplements for their contents or quality, ConsumerLab.com independently evaluated several leading ginseng products to determine whether they contained the type and amount of ginseng stated on their labels and were free of contamination with specific pesticides and heavy metals (cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury). Any tablets or caplets were also tested to be sure that they could disintegrate ("break-apart") properly.

Class Act (Paperback)
By Jerry Craft, Jerry Craft (Illustrator)
(YAGRAPHIC)
New York Times bestselling author Jerry Craft returns with a companion book to New Kid, winner of the 2020 Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize. This time, it's Jordan's friend Drew who takes center stage in another laugh-out-loud funny, powerful, and important story about being one of the few kids of color in a prestigious private school.
Eighth grader Drew Ellis is no stranger to the saying "You have to work twice as hard to be just as good." His grandmother has reminded him his entire life. But what if he works ten times as hard and still isn't afforded the same opportunities that his privileged classmates at the Riverdale Academy Day School take for granted?
To make matters worse, Drew begins to feel as if his good friend Liam might be one of those privileged kids. He wants to pretend like everything is fine, but it's hard not to withdraw, and even their mutual friend Jordan doesn't know how to keep the group together.
As the pressures mount, will Drew find a way to bridge the divide so he and his friends can truly accept each other? And most important, will he finally be able to accept himself?
New Kid, the first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, is now joined by Jerry Craft's powerful Class Act.
Jerry Craft is the winner of the Newbery Medal for his graphic novel New Kid. He has worked on numerous picture books, graphic novels, and middle grade novels. Jerry is the creator of Mama's Boyz, an award-winning syndicated comic strip. He has won five African American Literary Awards, and he is a cofounder of the Schomburg Center's Annual Black Comic Book Festival. He received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts and now lives in Connecticut. Visit him online at www.jerrycraft.com.
"A well-Crafted, visually rich, truth-telling tale for our troubled times that affirms the eternal importance of friends."
"Craft makes the story honest and believable and presents it as a powerful, if difficult to achieve, real-world possibility. Another work of resounding understanding and empathy."
"Lightning strikes twice as Craft again produces a funny and appealing yet sensitive and nuanced middle grade tale of inequity and microaggressions."
"Hilarious and heartfelt. Craft adeptly balances poignant questions…with laugh-out-loud moments of adolescence, making Class Act a substantial snapshot of the interior life of boys, especially Black boys who are too often not afforded such attention, love, and care."
— The Horn Book (starred review)
"Craft approaches Drew's—and his devoted friends'—dilemmas with candor and respect. Kids who missed volume one can dive in here and backtrack later; kids already on board will identify episodes and new characters around which they can build hope for a third entry."
— Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
"Deftly weaving discussions of race, socioeconomics, colorism, and solidarity into an accessible narrative, Craft offers a charming cast journeying through the complicated landscapes of puberty, self-definition, and changing friendships, all while grappling with the tensions of attending an institution that structurally and culturally neglects students of color."
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A warm hug of a book…Class Act's modeling of thoughtful communication and its celebration of friendship are appealing and heartfelt. Craft's expressive characters, strong command of vibrant color and hits of visual humor—including references to popular books in the double-page spreads that open each chapter—are downright delightful."
— BookPage
"A moving and often very funny story about the convergence of an awkward age (13 to 14) with an awkward age (America's racial reckoning)…. [Craft] balances his biting sendup of American race relations with poignant family portraits, and the art is most striking in quiet moments."

What are Hearing Aid Accessories? What are the Benefits?
Instead of having to fiddle with volume controls on the back of the hearing aids, hearing aid wearers can also use a remote control to change the volume of the sounds coming into the hearing aids.
A hearing aid accessory such as an audio or TV streamer can help make listening to the TV even easier. They transmit the sound of the TV, computer, or audio device directly into the hearing aids so that the hearing aids become wireless headphones for you.
With a phone accessory, you can transmit the sounds from your phone directly into the hearing aids, on one side, or even better, on both sides. You can easily hear the conversation on the phone without having to worry about missing a word.
Since phone calls stream directly to the hearing aids, you can easily use the phone accessory for hands-free conversations while you are driving. There are microphones built into the phone accessory so you don't need to pick up your phone to talk.
5) Pick up speech in a large room such as a classroom or even at a loud party.
Speech can be challenging to hear in a classroom or at a loud party with lots of background noise. Sometimes, you can't get the speaker to repeat what they said or the background noise is so loud, you still can't clearly hear all the words. A mini-microphone accessory can be used to send the sound of the conversation directly to the hearing aids in these situations, making it effortless to hear the person speaking.
Hearing aids are improving every year and these accessory options are another way to help enhance your listening experience. Not all wearers want, or need, these accessories but they can help in certain situations and make listening to conversation easy and comfortable.
If you'd like to learn more about which hearing aids or accessories are right for you, please contact us.

Energy efficient explosion proof motors
WEG underpins its commitment to providing energy efficient explosion proof motors with W22Xd IE4 variants now offered as standard.
WEG has always been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to offering energy efficient motors. In line with this, the manufacturer has recently announced that, as standard, it is now offering explosion-proof induction motors in the W22Xd series. This includes all motors over the full stated power range, which conform to the IE classification standards, up to and including energy efficiency class IE4. Special applications – including explosion-proof motors – are currently exempt from the motor efficiency regulations and this series, which combines reliable explosion protection with maximum efficiency, is now one of the most energy efficient series available on the market.
"Particularly in energy-intensive industries such as chemical, oil/gas or mining, where very large facilities with, in some cases, thousands of motors often operating 24/7, energy efficiency is a decisive factor for reducing operating costs and CO2 emissions", says Detlef Wortmann, Business Development Manager at WEG. "Energy costs for electric motors account for 95 to 97 percent of total life cycle costs, depending on the application. This means that investments in energy-efficient drives usually have a very short return on investment. Thanks to the low operating costs, companies with explosion-proof motors in the W22Xd series can reduce their costs by 20 to 40 percent compared to conventional approaches."
To make this energy-saving drive solution available for hazardous areas, WEG utilised the innovative housing design of the W22 standard induction motors. The W22Xd housing design features an advanced cooling system with an aerodynamic concept that both reduces noise levels and significantly improves heat dissipation. The sturdy housing with integrated mounting feet, allows the explosion-proof motors to be deployed in even the most demanding applications and minimises both vibration and noise emissions.
The robust, durable motors in the W22Xd series are designed to withstand the often harsh ambient conditions in explosion hazard areas. For example, standard IP56 ingress protection prevents penetration by liquids. Standard integrated thermistors additionally protect the motor winding in the event of overload and heaters within the interior prevent condensation thus increasing the service life of the winding insulation, thereby prolonging the lifetime of the motor. A special polyurethane coating protects the surface of the motor housing against harsh conditions and sturdy eyebolts simplify handling, transport and storage. Furthermore, numerous optional modules enable flexible motor adaptation to virtually every application.
The standard W22Xd series is intended for use in explosion hazard areas conforming to the following IEC classifications: Zone 1 and 2, group IIA and IIB (W22XdB versions) or group IIA, IIB and IIC (W22XdC), as well as temperature class T4 and EPL Gb. The W22XdBD and W22XdCD versions additionally provide protection against explosive dusts for use in explosion hazard areas classified as Zone 21 or 22, group IIIA, IIIB or IIIC, and EPL Db. The W22XdM versions are suitable for use in coal pits with classification Group I, Category M2 and EPL Mb.

He, in her womb, supreme.
I was holding you like soap when you slipped from one palm to the other.
The dried blood would not come off easily I had to rub you against my skin.
That evening we boiled meat and bones then we added sugar.
We licked each other's fingers in an uncivilized fashion.
I cracked your loud knuckles with my fastened lips.
Pickled in brine so damn acidic so desperately sanctifying.
You make a perfect condiment for a bland bite.
They travelled the desert with a euphoric sense of nervousness.
He spanned her slim waist with his hands . Incurable Romantic.
He charmed her into a kiss. An alerted kiss.
They tangoes the labyrinth away from the intruder. Extremely overwrought to control the dance.
She fretted, forcing him to resist her blatant charm.
He mocked her puerile panic.
'Don't turn on the charm, Monsieur.' He muted her with a kiss. Inexorable.
The war of nerves ceased. She weakened.
Under the bridge, in full flow, they romanced. A gentle breeze.
Music pulsed through the coupled body.
She fought for breath. An orgasmic breath.
She enthralled him to her feet.
"He travelled her body with his watery lips.
The land sank to their sensual quarrel. The thrill of the hunt soared.
The intruder is on a scouring move.
'Ah!' Added to the intruder's woes. A long odyssey to sail across!
Another 'Ah!' An ongoing melodramatic dispute. A long long odyssey to sail across!
'I know you', he ejaculated!
Whispers of delight stormed his body.
The intruder climaxed in jealousy turmoil. Chaos.
Instantly, her face, veiled in mist, lightened.
'Baghdad, would you love me again?' whispered the Tigris.

Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 by Christian Manrique
Most likely, in 20 years we will work 30 hours per week instead of 40, but in more specialized positions, more qualified and strongly related to the knowledge economy. And living with robots. If countries do not prepare, global unemployment will increase significantly.
The german concept of Industry 4.0, Intelligent Industry or 4th Industrial Revolution is for real in development and involves the digitalization of production processes in industry, either through sensors or through information systems, transforming these processes to make them more efficient.
Its progress is characterized by continuous growth and rapid changes, with the goal of prospering and improving living standards through services and products with high added value.
But there is a new concept that is being coined, focused on the people but not on the industry. The Society 5.0.
#Industry40 and #Society50
The concept of Society 5.0 is promoted by the japanese government in 2015, an idea based on considering society at the center rather than the industry. Taking the technology as a catalyst and driver, Society 5.0 looks for the general welfare of citizens and aims for a superintelligent society. Society 5.0 places the person at the center of Industry 4.0.
The origin of the german concept of Industry 4.0 was based on six pillars for its positive impact on the economy: the digital society, sustainable energy, intelligent mobility, healthy living, civil security and technology at work.
Industry 4.0 is information and communication technologies and the digital age, where the internet, smart phones, sensors (IoT), data and fiber connections shape the current stage we are living.
The japanese concept of Society 5.0 assumes four previous societies: the hunting, the agricultural, the industrial, the information (where they collect the successive industrial revolutions and the current fourth) and a fifth that integrates the online with the offline, or what it means, information or cyberspace with the real physical world in a sustainable way.
Basically and summarizing, in Industry 4.0 the generation of knowledge and intelligence is done by humans with the help of technology; in Society 5.0 the generation of knowledge and intelligence will come from machines through Artificial Intelligence at the service of people. The exponential advance of technology (Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Robotics, Deep Learning, Machine Learning) is generating a new era of automation, covering human competences, including cognitive skills, and developing that Society 5.0 where these new technological advances are accommodated in a more efficient way.
Society 5.0 will be the ecosystem that will provide sustainability at all levels -economic, environmental, social and political-, focusing on the people and the creation of value. It is a concept that goes beyond the concept of Industry 4.0 and Made in China 2025.
Society 5.0, opportunities and sampo-yoshi
The adoption of the concept of Society 5.0 means taking advance in an appropriate way to the future that comes to us and involving the main players (governments, universities, private companies and citizens) in a common strategy of implementation for the overal benefit (sampo-yoshi).
The challenges that world economies must face, such as population aging, rural depopulation, the educational model, health, the fight against climate change or economic growth, can adopt this concept to overcome these challenges efficiently and sustainably.

Indie & Alternative Music In The West Midlands & Beyond
Young Guv Coming To The Sunflower Lounge
Wednesday April 7th – 7pm to 11pm
Young Guv is Ben Cook.
Ben Cook is a songwriter, a dedicated and prolific songwriter of rare talent. The real deal.
Think of the contemporary guitar music that's meant something to you in the last 18-odd years. Ben Cook has probably had something to do with making it or influencing it.
Think of No Warning, which he's fronted since he was in high school in the '90s, who pioneered a self-aware, intertextual, and technically adept style of New York hardcore that has became a subgenre unto itself, dominating scenes all over the world for close two decades and counting.
Think of Fucked Up, for which he's played guitar since 2006, the aesthetically omnivorous, thematically ambitious punk-rock-deconstructing band-like entity that, unlike the bulk of their contemporaries in the late-2000s festival-circuit indie-rock boom, no one is ashamed of having associated themselves with.
Think also of his behind-the-scenes presence, the co-writing and production work he's done for a host of artists at all levels of renown (some of the names would surprise you).

David Louis Cunha Foundation at the Edward Madden Open Hearts Camp
July 27, 2018 July 26, 2018 by DLCF
Some more good news from the David Louis Cunha Foundation !
On Sunday, July 15th, we returned to the Edward Madden Open Hearts Camp in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in the Berkshires. As you may remember, this camp hosts children who have undergone open heart surgeries...many of who have received heart replacements. During the entire Summer, there are children from RI, MA, CT, and ME who attend the camp.
David's Foundation was most happy to donate $ 2,000.00 to sponsor eight children for a two week stay.
As with our last visit, we found these children to be truly content and excited to be there...and there was no hiding their camaraderie with each other. Though these children have many other friends at home, at this camp they share a common bond among each other...a bond that most others cannot begin to understand the depth of. After a tour of the camp, games and lunch with the kids, discussion with the director & staff AND the children, we left to go back home again feeling most happy that David's Foundation connected with these folks.
Also, as you may also remember, back on January 1st, in commemoration of David's 24th birthday, David's Foundation donated $ 1,750.00 to the Open Hearts Camp to purchase a much-needed new AED (Automated External Defibrillator) along with three sets of adult & child pads, and backup batteries. An AED is used to react to and treat sudden cardiac arrest. This AED is crucial to the operation of the camp and the wellbeing of the campers. The AED is stationed in the nurse's office at all times ...under a plaque which reads "In Loving Memory of David Louis Cunha".
As always, this is all made possible by your steadfast support of David's Foundation. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. And a special "Thank You" to our dear friend and top sponsor Ann Sabbagh, President of Seacoast Mortgage Corporation, for joining us on our trip. We all look forward to our return next year.
Stay tuned for more good news !

A Wish Come True
A Wish Come True - Give Kids The World
On Tuesday, July 10th, 2018, David's Foundation had the pleasure of donating $ 3,000.00 to A Wish Come True to sponsor a young boy's wish. Davis, his Mom & Dad and brother will be vacationing at Disney World in Florida. They will be staying at Give Kids The World Village, the same place David, Cheryl & I stayed twenty years ago. Davis is four years old, and on November 24th, the day he leaves for Disney, he will be five ! (Coincidentally he shares a birth date with Cheryl). Davis has been battling a form of brain cancer for quite some time now....but you wouldn't know it from spending any time with him....he is so cheerful and full of life ! He has been quite sick for the last year or so, but presently he is feeling good and his doctors have given him the okay to GO ! Davis's Mom & Dad were most thankful to David's Foundation and cannot wait to take their little boy to meet his favorite character, Mickey.
The David Louis Cunha Foundation is very pleased to be able to reach out to this family. And we are able to do so because of YOUR support and caring. Thank you all very much...YOU make it possible for David's Foundation to continue to accomplish its mission....always in the loving memory and honor of David.
I also wanted to give you a quick update on Domenic, the young boy David's Foundation sponsored last year for a week's vacation on Block Island. Domenic is doing okay....but will need to return to Boston Children's this Summer for another open heart procedure. But due to his fighting spirit, Domenic, and his Mom & Dad feel confident that he will be ready to return to school in September. As Cheryl & I have witnessed time and time again, children are very resilient...all they wish to do is get well and get on with their lives...and live !
Thank you all again so very much...and stayed tuned for more great news soon from David's Foundation.

David Louis Cunha Foundation Assists Monster Tough 4 Davis Fundraiser.
July 10, 2018 March 16, 2018 by Peter Cunha
On February 22nd, 2018, the David Louis Cunha Foundation had the honor of donating $ 500.00 to the Monster Tough 4 Davis Fundraiser held at Saint Timothy's parish in Warwick. The fundraiser was for Davis McLarnon, a three year old boy who was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. To make matters worse, the tumor was metastatic and cells were found in Davis's spinal fluid. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Davis and his family. We have been told that he is a very strong and resilient child. Like most children seem to be when faced with a severe illness, Davis is a real fighter! As you can see, the fundraiser was a huge success. Money raised will go towards medical bills and daily living, since Davis's Mom has not been able to work spending all of her time with him at the hospital as he goes through his treatments.
Thank you all for your wonderful support of David's Foundation. If you should know of a family or group that you believe David's Foundation could assist, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

The David Louis Cunha Foundation would like to welcome you to the Foundation's Facebook Page. This page will serve as a means of communication of the wonderful things David's Foundation has accomplished in just one year as well as our plans for the future. All of these have been achieved through your love and support. Without you, David's Foundation would not exist.
As you know, the past year has brought much heartache and pain for those of us who loved Dave; however, through this tragedy, the David Louis Cunha Foundation was born. In just one year, we have raised over $25,000 to help children with life-threatening conditions. This is just the beginning.
The Foundation's activities will be posted during the year and we hope you will join us in carrying on Dave's legacy...in his memory and in his honor.
Please take a moment to go to "Company Overview" under the "About" tab to learn more about David and his Foundation. Thank you again for your caring and support...and may our Lord Bless you for your kindness.

The David Louis Cunha Foundation was established in January 2015 upon the passing of David Louis Cunha. The mission of the David Louis Cunha Foundation is to provide financial support to families with children living with life-threatening medical conditions. The Foundation also awards scholarships to Smithfield High School graduating seniors who excel in community service and embody a generous heart, as did David.
David was the beloved son of Peter and Cheryl Cunha of Smithfield, Rhode Island.
David was born with a single heart ventricle with transposition. At ten days of age, David underwent a pulmonary artery banding. At one and a half years, he underwent his first open heart surgery - a Glen shunt. At four years old, he underwent his second open heart surgery - a Fontan. At five years old, he received a pacemaker. Now, because David was such an active and ALIVE little boy, he went through several pacemaker wire replacements...much to the anxiety of his parents and doctors, but through it all, David was the epitome of courage and strength, and truly an inspiration to all who knew him. Both a beautiful smile and friendly character were his trademarks.
David was a 2012 graduate of Smithfield High School and a member of the National Honor Society. He was a Junior at Rhode Island College, where he majored in Mass Media Communications, making the Dean's List. He served as a Senate Page for six years. He was also employed at the law office of Senator Stephen Archambault.
David was a vibrant young man who was full of life. He was very active in community service and volunteered for many organizations including the Matty Fund, A Wish Come True, Special Olympics, Best Buddies and Providence Back to School Celebration. He was a captain of Save-the-Bay Beach Cleanup and participated in the Smithfield Police Explorer Academy. He was an altar server at Saint Michael's Church in Smithfield, served as an Assistant CCD Teacher, and was a member of the Saint Michael's CYO Basketball Team.
David was loved and will be forever missed by his countless friends and family. David was and continues to be a true inspiration to all who knew him. A warm & giving heart and a strong & admirable character were David's trademarks.
To contribute to David's Foundation, donations can be made to The David Louis Cunha Foundation, 563 Log Road, Smithfield, RI 02917.

Rhode Island College mourns student who died Monday

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Rhode Island College is mourning the loss of one of its students, junior David Louis Cunha of Smithfield, who died Monday.
Cunha, 21, was majoring in Mass Media Communications, was active with community service and had worked as a Rhode Island Senate page and on political campaigns, according to an email that Rhode Island College President Nancy Carriuolo shared with the college community.
Senate Majority Whip Maryellen Goodwin led a moment of silence in the state Senate on Tuesday on Cunha's behalf.
"I think most of us have heard by now that one of our young pages, David Cunha, was taken suddenly," Goodwin said. " He was an asset here to the chamber, and Madame president, I would like all of us to remember not only David but his family for a moment.
Sen. President Teresa Paiva-Weed asked "all of our pages to join us on the floor here today. And if you have a moment here today before you leave, to thank them because they are very much a part of our Senate family, as was David."
A 2012 graduate of Smithfield High School, Cunha was also a member of the National Honor Society, according to his online obituary. He worked for the past six years for Rhode Island Senator Stephen R. Archambault and former Senator John Tassoni. He also worked as an intern for former General Treasurer Frank Caprio, according to his obituary, which does not list a cause of death.
The college flag will be lowered this week in Cunha's memory, Carriuolo said. Details about his funeral arrangements are in the obituary.

If You Get a Lyft in 'Strange Mode' This Weekend, You'll Enter the Creepy World of Stranger Things
Hazmat suits and frozen waffles in Philadelphia and Los Angeles
By Kristina Monllos
Netflix has gone into overdrive marketing the second season of Stranger Things. Today, the company unveiled a partnership with Lyft (a first for Netflix) where passengers will be able to take a ride that's (hopefully) the creepiest experience they've had using the Lyft app.
Lyft users in Philadelphia and Los Angeles can take an immersive Stranger Things ride—complete with static sounds, slugs, lights turning on and off, a being that seems to be stuck in the ceiling and reaches its hand down, people in hazmat suits and waffles—this Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. when they opt for "Strange Mode" on the app.
"We like to think of the car as our stage and that is just what we did in partnership with Netflix, by creating a spooky ride for Stranger Things 2," said Ethan Eyler, director of ride experience at Lyft, in a statement.
Creative shop Deeplocal worked with Netflix and Lyft on the paranormal-inspired ride.
There's also an in-app experience, created by Muh-tay-zik Hof-fer, for Lyft users nationwide on Thursday and Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Car icons on the app will feature Stranger Things bits like Christmas lights and waffles as well as the show's logo.

Historical Construction Project Proves Poughkeepsie, NY is Ready for a Comeback!
American Fireproofing Inc. (AFI) worked with the joint venture team, Walsh Construction Group and Consigli Construction, to complete the new Vassar Brothers Medical Center patient pavilion. Standing beautifully over the Hudson Valley, this center's design mimics the flow and aesthetics of the nearby Hudson River.
The New York Times reported, about 80 miles north of Manhattan this postindustrial city, once a hub for manufacturing and train service, is heading for a rebound. With rezoned neighborhoods, tax breaks and developers on the scene, there are plans for new apartment buildings near new restaurants and craft breweries. Growing the population and housing prices are on the rise.
Included in this miniboom is the largest construction project in Poughkeepsie, NY history, The Vassar Brothers Medical Center patient pavilion. Boasting 750,000 square feet and 7 stories above the Hudson River, this project is on track to be open to patients in 2020.
For this project, AFI utilized several Isolatek International products including CAFCO 400. This spray-applied fireproofing product has been extensively tested for fire resistance and is rated for up to 4 hours of fire protection for floor assemblies, beams, joists, columns and roof assemblies. On the projects exposed steel, AFI sprayed CAFCO SprayFilm WB 5, since it's the most durable of the intumescent fireproofing products and able to withstand abuse.
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazuik stated, "This project will serve as a catalyst for economic development and provide a stabilizing environment for businesses and homeowners in Poughkeepsie. It will play a major role in community revitalization and allow residents access to high-quality healthcare they deserve right here in our community."
Being able to contribute to the rebirth of this excellent city has been a very rewarding experience for the AFI team. American Fireproofing Inc. looks forward to future projects with Walsh Construction Group and Consigli Construction.
