I am past due on a couple of kudo's, so I wanted to take a minute to tell you about them.
SEC/CHF Earthly Roan came out of retirement and was leased by Echo Valley for a breeding to the beautiful mare, EV Northern Cream, pictured below with their gorgeous foal, CHF/EV Earthly Tradition. He's a pretty one.
Take a look at his sensational pedigree!!
(In case you didn't know it, I love pedigrees.
Weeks ago, I received "several" cryptic emails from Cathy at Silver Maple Equestrian...telling me about a surprise "Thank You" gift. I got so excited, I mean who gets a Thank You gift that often?? Well...Pashxa is that gift. Cathy and I have been friends for a while, so she did something nice for me. Plus, I got to name her, which was lots of fun. Páshxá is Yakima for Sunflower. She is an awesome Nez Perce yearling filly with a gorgeous buckskin coat and a nice pedigree too!
Pashxa has some wonderful horses in her pedigree too. Also, look for her in the clinic being held by Silver Maple Equestrian.
Moon over pyramid in Setra.
Urban living...I like grungy buildings.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there. I hope you have a joyful day!!
I mentioned earlier that I was creating a horse for someone, which was based on pictures they sent to me. Florence turned out to be a very pretty mare.
This is the first rainbow I have seen in my game. I usually shut off the rain, because it scares the horses. I am glad I didn't shut it off for this city!! It's a night shot, so it's a little dark.
I love the Supernatural Expansion Pack, and the fairies are my favorite. I enjoy their pretty wings, and how they can bloom the garden plants. I wanted to create my own little park. The park is named in honor of a beautiful fairy.
Ileana Cosanzeana: In Romanian folklore, Ileana is the original concept of feminine beauty, the most beautiful amongst the fairies: her eyes look like the sun, her body is like the sea and her garments are made of flowers. When she sings, pearls and gold flow out of her mouth.


Every now and again, it's a nice change of pace to see the Smiths united in their repulsiveness instead of dividing the family. Too often Stan is separated out as the antagonist and aggressor, alienating his family with his domineering persona. But in "Max Jets" they can all come together for greed, entitlement, and hating Roger's fiancée.
It starts at a surrogate for Outback Steakhouse, where Stan complains that he's the only one earning money—and at a low-paying government job—and fiercely demands a cheapskate attitude. But Roger knows just how to save them: Max Jets, Roger's about-to-be-released-from-prison and filthy rich persona. He sneaks back into his cell via a Shawshank Redemption reference, slips quietly into bed, and gets released with the praise that he's been the perfect prisoner, sleeping for his entire sentence.
At least Klaus has the sense to point out that it's Roger. Everyone else knows, but having to establish that point makes it funnier. The Smiths know Roger is faking this character, they don't ask where his fortune came from or anything about the logic; they just accept the gifts because they desire a high standard of living that apparently isn't commensurate of what Stan earns. That's some unrealistic episodic invention, but for a haughty and seemingly oblivious persona like Max Jets it's worth it.
At first the Smith's love Max Jets, since he can shower them in lavish gifts and treat them to an extravagant meal—albeit at the same knock-off steakhouse. But he falls for their waitress Gina (voiced by Michelle Monaghan), and transfers his sugar daddy doting to her, which angers the Smiths, who believe they should be the only recipients of Roger's nonsensical wealth while in character.
In order to take down Gina, first the family tries to paint Gina as a gold digger, and she's dropping some heavy hints. She vomits whenever she kisses Max Jets, goads him into building her a recording studio in the basement, where she records a terrible song about not being attracted to older men unless they have money to buy her things. During a beach outing, she flirts with younger guys, and the Smiths finally have Roger out of her clutches—until he chooses to propose in order to lock her down.
That's when the Smiths' general frustration turns to all-out murderous rage. They decide to kill Roger before he's married so they still inherit all of his money. The scene of the various family members failing to kill Roger but taking each other out is the best in the episode—especially Stan's weakness for soup.
But the Roger drama setup isn't quite finished. The Smiths can't prevent the marriage, but Max Jets dies from a poisoned piece of wedding cake, and the Smiths viciously celebrate their assumed inheritance. Except Max Jets leaves everything to his son Jerry Jets, another one of Roger's disguises, who's been having an affair with Gina because of course she's attracted to the younger guy. It's only the age that repulses her.
The ending, when Roger returns to the steakhouse and explains that Gina killed Jerry Jets as well, reaches a bit too far. Everyone acknowledges the logical inconsistency of Roger dying by poison, getting killed again in a different disguise by Gina, then just popping up as the Smiths console themselves at the knock-off steakhouse. Sure, it's an alien on a surreal animated show disguising himself constantly to blend in, but the point of this ending seems to be "it doesn't add up, so let's make it the last joke." It's a slight creative disappointment, as the show has wriggled itself out of tighter corners.
Episodes of American Dad that focus on a Roger disguise don't frequently impress me. I've grown tired of the constant rotation and invention of a new character for Roger to be. But I do like when Roger's disguise isn't separated on its own, and this week it includes the entire Smith family in a way that brings out their dark side.
For a fairly average episode plot-wise, "Max Jets" sure had a lot of funny and quotable lines.

Harlem Shuffle
by Colson Whitehead
Anchor Books
08/09/2022, paperback
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s.
Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked... To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home.
Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time.
Cash is tight, especially with all those installment-plan sofas, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace, Ray doesn't ask where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn't ask questions, either.
Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa -- the Waldorf of Harlem -- and volunteers Ray's services as the fence. The heist doesn't go as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a new clientele, one made up of shady cops, vicious local gangsters, two-bit pornographers, and other assorted Harlem lowlifes.
Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed, save his cousin, and grab his share of the big score, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs?
Harlem Shuffle's ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It's a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem.
But mostly, it's a joy to read, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead.
"A rich, wild book that could pass for genre fiction. It's much more, but the entertainment value alone should ensure it the same kind of popular success that greeted his last two novels, The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Colson Whitehead has a couple of Pulitzers under his belt, along with several other awards celebrating his outstanding novels. Harlem Shuffle is a suspenseful crime thriller that's sure to add to the tally -- it's a fabulous novel you must read." -- NPR.org
"Fast-paced, keen-eyed and very funny, Harlem Shuffle is a novel about race, power and the history of Harlem all disguised as a thrill-ride crime novel." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Enthralling, cinematic... Whitehead's evocation of early 1960s Harlem -- strewn with double-crosses and double standards, broken glass and broken dreams -- is irresistible... a valentine to a time and place." -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A cool, funny, slyly elegant genre outing that deftly weaves in weightier themes around the edges of a story about crooks and schemers in mid-20th-century New York." -- Laura Miller, Slate
"Dazzling... exciting and wise." -- Walton Muyumba, The Boston Globe
"A spectacularly pleasurable read, and while it is, of course, literary, it's also a pure, unapologetic crime-fiction page-turner." -- Los Angeles Times
Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten works of fiction and nonfiction, and is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, for The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad, which also won the National Book Award. A recipient of MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships, he lives in New York City.

Following his previous Volksbühne productions, Hauptmann's Lonely Lives, Plenzdorf's Legend of Paul and Paula and Ibsen's Rosmersholm, Leander Haußmann is back with the world premiere of Haußmanns Staatssicherheitstheater (Haußmann's State Security Theatre) on 14 December. Together with Uwe Dag Berlin, Antonia Bill, Waldemar Kobus, Horst Kotterba, Matthias Mosbach, Christopher Nell, Silvia Rieger and Norbert Stöß, as well as Lennart Hillmann, Karl Schaper and Daniel Felix Adolf (students at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts), Sir Henry (Piano) and Herman Herrmann (guitar), Haußmann digs up the "Stasi's allotment garden" in this production.
Haußmanns Staatssicherheitstheater is a comedy about betrayal, the dilettantes' finest hour, the value of art and the Stasi as an extended arm of petit bourgeois mediocrity: The Ministry for State Security (Stasi) has lost the plot. The bohemians in Prenzlauer Berg are creating art, the minister responsible for them understands none of it and smells treason. He establishes a task force called LSD, in which operatives are trained in art. Idiots are turned into artists. They infiltrate the subcultural scene and become part of the avant garde. But what happens when the operatives with arts training suddenly create exciting art? What is the art still worth when it turns out that everyone was part of the Stasi?

2016 Trends: Reaching Asia's mobile first consumers
ByDan Neary on January 5, 2016
Mobile across Asia Pacific continues to grow at a rapid rate and shows no sign of slowing. Growth in mobile means growth in internet connectivity and this should propel social network use in the region even higher over the coming years (source: eMarketer December 2015).
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam have some of the world's highest levels of social network penetration according to the eMarketer report, penetration in these countries expected to grow above 75 per cent by 2019.
Here are the key trends we have seen in Asia for 2015 whilst looking forward to next year.
1. Mobile in Asia is here to stay
Mobile is rooted heavily in our everyday lives. It's the first thing we look at when we wake up and the last before we go to bed at night. Majority of people who log into Facebook, do so through their mobile. Facebook reaches more than 41 million people in Indonesia each day, 38 million of those through mobile. While digital ad spend in Asia-Pacific has the largest share than any region in the world, (32.3 per cent of total media ad spend – source: eMarketer, Sept 2015), it still has a long way to go if it's going to catch up to the momentum of mobile in this region.
2. Creativity on mobile takes center stage
Self-serve ads rolled out across Instagram this year and Asia is the fastest growing market on the visual storytelling platform. There are now 400 million monthly global actives on Instagram. Instagrammers want to be visually inspired by moments captured creatively and brands that understand the power of eloquent storytelling and creatively led campaigns have the strongest success. Facebook's Creative Shop and Marketing Science teams continue to work with businesses and agencies in the region to make sure their ads are relevant and effective.
A few great examples of where creative has worked:
• Thailand: Dtac
Dtac became one of the first Instagram advertisers in Thailand when the company launched a series of aAds in Thailand in September 2015. As a result, their ads have reached 3.15 Million Thais, with an Ad Recall of 13 points and video views of 777,000.
Visuals from Brands in SEA
Indonesia: Indosat
Indonesia: TRESemme
Thailand: Dtac
• Japan: Tsuchiya Bag
This Japanese fashion brand, known for its quality leather goods, ran an ad campaign on Instagram to raise awareness among prospective customers. By using imagery that showed the owners' affections towards the handcrafted bags, Tsuchiya achieved a significant lift in ad recall and increased its brand awareness by 6 points.
3. Multiscreening is the new norm in Asia
Nine out of 10 people in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam use their mobile phone while watching TV (source: eMarketer, July 2015). This includes looking up information about the program they are watching, chatting to friends, following up on television ads and scrolling their Facebook News Feed. Compared to TV, advertising on Facebook is 200 per cent more efficient in driving brand impact (Millward Brown). We are seeing more and more brands creating ad campaigns that take advantage of this simultaneous use.
4. Building for the next billion
Emerging markets are where the next billion will come online and to ensure they can connect using Facebook we are constantly designing products that work regardless of the mobile network or device. Most recently we have improved people's News Feed experience on slower connections, allowing them to compose comments on posts whilst offline, downloading photos or stories they're looking at first rather than the whole News Feed as well as keeping stories up to date when they have access to a strong internet connection. Another challenge has been for us to deliver video in emerging markets like India and Indonesia, where 4G networks don't exist. We launched Slideshow, a video ad that is created from a series of still images, which can be watched on every device and connection speed. Apart from new Facebook features, our Creative Accelerator program is helping brands in high-growth countries learn the power of storytelling to bring their products to life.
5. Making Asia more open and connected
Despite Asia Pacific's fast paced growth, there is a lot more that can be done to help people connect. We know connectivity has the power to change lives and communities for the better. A study by Deloitte last year found increased connectivity in developing countries could create another 140 million new jobs, lift 160 million people out of poverty, and reduce child mortality by seven per cent.
Connectivity helps small businesses and entrepreneurs grow. For example, Kalpana Rajesh, founder of online wedding accessories store Pelli Poola Jada has helped create jobs across the country. She started her business in 2013 with only three women making and selling bridal hair accessories. Fast forward to 2015 and the small business owner now employs more than 200 women, working across 36 branches with multiple product lines.
It's stories like these that inspire us in our mission to make the world more open and connected.
To this end, Asia Pacific is Facebook's largest and fastest growing region. The number of people accessing Facebook daily is at 300million as of Q3 2015, up 24 per cent from last year, while those accessing Facebook monthly is at 522 million, an 18 per cent growth. Emerging markets like Indonesia and India have contributed to this fast paced growth, spurred by the growth of mobile phones and usage in these countries.
2015 has seen us open two new offices, Taiwan in January, followed by the Thailand office opening in September. Being on the ground in these markets has allowed us to gain a better understanding of local business needs, so we can offer support and guidance to help them grow internationally. 2015 also saw our Singapore team move into their larger office space as growth in Asia Pacific continues to gain momentum.
We continue to invest in education programs to help businesses and agencies better understand how they can use our platform to support their marketing campaigns and business objectives. SMB Boost events were rolled out in Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and Thailand this year and our first APAC Agency Ambassador program was recently held in Singapore with top agency representatives flown in from India, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.

NOAH calls on vet practices to support #VaccinesWork campaign
The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) is calling on vet practices to support the #VaccinesWork campaign.
Starting in the New Year, the benefits of vaccination will be communicated to both farmers and pet owners, initially focussing on farm use.
The aims of the campaign are to raise awareness of how and why vaccines work and the range of diseases they protect against, to review and improve how vaccines are stored and administered, and to encourage better uptake of existing vaccines.
Further information and tips on storing and using vaccines correctly will be shared, to help ensure that vaccines used will be effective.
NOAH says that research has shown that:
Only 53% farmers know the correct temperature for vaccine storage
73% do not have a separate thermometer or data logger
Less than 10% check fridge temperatures daily
Dawn Howard, NOAH's Chief Executive said: "It is encouraging that vaccination of the UK's calves and sheep against livestock diseases has risen to one of the highest levels in seven years1. This increase is encouraging, however still more needs to be done in relation to uptake, storage and usage. We are asking the vet profession to support the #VaccinesWork campaign by spreading the messages with their clients and engaging on social media."
"We will be providing information for farmers e.g. if vaccines are not stored correctly, it will impact on their potency, meaning they could be less effective – not only will there be the potential for the vaccine to fail to protect animals against disease but also farmers may have wasted their efforts – and may be deterred from vaccinating again."
Whilst correct use by farmers is the initial focus, the campaign will include pets. Dawn said: "The topic of vaccine hesitancy is becoming increasingly important. Recognised by the WHO as one of the top 10 global health threats for people in 2019, this phenomenon is translating to the veterinary sector as well, especially in companion animals. The PDSA reports an 'alarming' drop in pet vaccinations: the proportion of pet dogs, cats and rabbits receiving a primary course when young has fallen by 18% over the past 3 years, down to 66%3."
"This is bad news for the health and welfare of the nation's pets, who are increasingly at risk of disease, and we need to work to address this."
NOAH is asking practices to support the campaign by sharing messages and materials which will be published on its website (https://www.noah.co.uk/campaigns/vaccineswork) and on social media, @UKNOAH

A Panel Discussion co-organized by The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Sasakawa USA
On May 18, Continuity or Change: U.S. Defense and Foreign Policy under the Next Administration
On May 18, Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA hosted a panel discussion on U.S. defense and foreign policy under the next administration featuring seven U.S. emerging defense experts from Washington, D.C. who are participating in the Sasakawa USA Emerging Experts Delegation (SEED) Program.
The event took place in light of the 2016 U.S. presidential election where recent developments have heightened concerns over the fate of U.S. global leadership and foreign affairs within the Washington policy community. The first panel looked back on the successes and lessons learned from previous administrations and provide views on how the next president should approach U.S. foreign and security policy issues, including policy in Asia. The second panel identified major defense challenges facing the U.S. as well as its allies in Asia and around the world, and examined whether the U.S. has the necessary resources and capabilities, political will and public support to address these challenges.
The SEED Program aims to engage the next generation of U.S. policy experts on Japan and improving their understanding of U.S.-Japan relations through a series of pre-trip briefings, a week-long trip to Tokyo, and post-trip opportunities for publication and networking. In the third implementation of this program, Sasakawa USA selected participants with its partnering think tanks from the two previous delegations, the Center for American Progress and the Foreign Policy Initiative, to bring together a bipartisan group of defense experts and policymakers.

Radcliffe's $2,000,000 fund drive for a new Graduate Quadrangle has been bolstered by an anonymous gift of $430,000, President Wilbur K. Jordan announced yesterday.
With the new contribution, the total collection now stands at $690,000, more than a third of the announced goal. The fund drive began in late November, 1953.
Some $1,400,000 of the drive's goal will cover the cost of the new buildings, while the remaining $600,000 will be used to provide graduate fellowships. Radcliffe hopes to have the Quadrangle ready for dedication in the fall of 1955.
Mrs. Hollis G. Gerrish, President of the College's Alumnae Association, reported yesterday that since the announcement of the drive Radcliffe alumnae have supported it at two-and-a-half times the normal rate of alumnae giving. Except for the large anonymous gift, the funds so far have come primarily from parents and alumnae of the College, she added.
The new Quadrangle, to be located behind the Radcliffe Health Center, on Brattle and Ash Sts., will house approximately 150 graduate students and provide meeting and dinning facilities for 300. Designed in the Georgian style like other Radcliffe buildings, the Graduate Center will include a number of recreation rooms and lounges.
At present 39 of Radcliffe's 300 graduate students live in three small off-campus dormitories, and the rest are scattered in private lodgings throughout Cambridge.

A family embarked on a journey away from their homeland of Ireland in 1922
MICHELLE TWICHELL
editorial@observertoday.com
Above, from left, are: Pidge Mahoney, Kitty Mahoney, Essie O'Connell, Lill Barry and Helena O'Connell Kenny.
"Aon Sceal?" — Got a story to tell?
Most Irish people love to tell stories, and I bet the O'Mahony clan is no different.
Arriving in the United States
The first of the O'Mahony family to arrive was Bridget Mahony arriving aboard the SS Baltic into the Port of NY. She sailed from Queenstown, on Oct. 22, 1922. Her hometown was Cork City. She came to see her friend Michael Mahoney, who was working at Holy Cross Seminary in Dunkirk. She would later marry Michael and become the first woman to live at the seminary. She would bake cookies and treats for the young seminarians.
Bridget, or Pidge as she was known, was the 10th of 15 children that her mother Catherine and father Simon O'Mahony had. Simon was a butter merchant and town councilman in the City of Cork. She encouraged other family members to join her in America, saying how much living on Lake Erie reminded her of her home country. She was soon followed in 1923 by her brother Richard Mahoney, and in 1929 by her mother Catherine, sister Lill (who joined her husband John Barry in Chicago, IL), sister Essie, sister Kitty, and sister Helena (Nellie) O'Connell (with her children Bridget, Jeff, and infant Helena).
Helena O'Connell had come here as a widow. Her husband Michael O'Connell was a fireman who died while fighting a fire in Ireland. Once in America, she got married for a second time to Mike Mahoney's friend Phillip Kenney and had two more children, James and Mary. Helena's son Jeff O'Connell would become a fireman in Dunkirk, NY and marry Rhona Cirrito and they would have six children: Kitty, Jeff, Michael,Mary, Timothy, and Tricia.
Helena's daughter Bridget O'Connell married Donald Stoyle and they would have five children: Ann Marie, James (Jidge) who became a Dunkirk fireman, Timothy, Patrick, and Donald.
Helena's daughter Nellie O'Connell would marry Harry Falco and they would have four children: Jerry, Michelle, Janice, and Jackie.
The John and Lill Barry family eventually moved to Dunkirk from Chicago with their family: Maura, Liam, Catherine, and John. The Barry's eventually moved to Delaware, and Pidge and Mike Mahoney and four of their five children Noel, Kathleen, William, Marie Mahoney Hayes and Bridge would move to Arizona. Their son Michael remained in Dunkirk with his wife Maureen and their three children, Michael, Denise and Patrick.
Essie and her family would remain in New York City and marry Dennis O'Connell with their two children Catherine and Elizabeth. Kitty would marry Timothy Mahoney and would remain in Dunkirk with their two children, Mary and Simon. Mary married William Walawender and remain in Dunkirk with their four children William Jr., Daniel, Timothy and Mary. Simon would remain a bachelor.
The five ponies (Kitty, Lill, Pidge, Essie, and Helena), as the sisters were referred to, stayed close friends and traveled and spent time together as their families grew. The name of the five ponies was given to them by a relative that once said, "would you look at them now, trotting up the hill like five ponies!" Our Irish family was always known for their quick wit and humor. As young women in Ireland, they along with their brothers grew resistant to the change that the English were imposing on them. They would go down to the jail cell and sing Irish uprising songs to the boys that were imprisoned there. Their dedication and belief in their Catholic faith saw them through their many hardships in their lives.
Irish Revolutionaries
Two of their brothers had joined the IRA. After the Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland, the British government sent over a force called the Black and Tans to keep order. Their word was law and they were brutal. One day, they raided Tower Street. looking for IRA suspects. Two of them came into the O'Mahony house, accompanied by a regular policeman, who knew the family. In the house were Katie, Simon's wife, and some of her children, including Mikey (our cousin Helen Mangan's grandfather), and at least three of his sisters. They began to search the house. When they got to Simon Jr.'s room, they saw three long wooden boxes under his bed. One of the soldiers asked Mikey what was in the boxes. He replied, "My brother is a carpenter, and those are his tools."
The soldier told him to drag the first box out and open it. Mikey did, and sure enough, it contained tools. Then the soldier pointed to the second box and said, "And, what's in that box?"
Mikey replied, "They are his tools."
The soldier told him to open it. Mikey pulled the box out and opened it. It was also full of tools. The soldier then said, "And what's in the third box?"
Mikey said, "I told you they are his tools!"
Then he got a belt of a rifle butt into the side from the policeman, who said, "Shut your mouth, Mikey, this lot would think nothing of taking all of you out to the backyard right now, and just shooting you!" The soldier glared at him and said, "Alright, we're finished here." They left the house and went next door. As soon as they were gone, everyone rushed back to Simon's room. Mikey pulled out the third box – they ALL knew that Simon only had two toolboxes.
He opened it, and it was full of guns, gun parts and ammunition!
When Simon Jr. came home he just laughed and said, "Sure, you could have just picked up one of the guns and shot the lot of them!" I never heard what Simon Sr. (respectable town counsellor that he was) had to say, but, as they say, "sin sceal eile" — that's another story…
A Friend of Michael Collins
Michael (Mikey) O'Mahony was a friend of Michael Collins. They worked together in London in the post office. They were part of an Irish community there. They used to walk in Hyde Park, speaking in Irish to "confound the natives" as Collins put it. Mikey did not speak Irish as well as some of the others, so Collins said "Sure, just say a couple of the lines of the Our Father every now and then — they won't know the difference!" When they both returned home to Cork, Mikey O'Mahony got a job in Cork Corporation and Michael Collins became a politician.
One day Michael Collins was going through Cork City in a parade in his honor when he spotted Mikey in a crowd. He stopped the carriage and told Mikey to come up with him. Collins said, "Just wave every now and then and they will think you're someone important and we can have a chat." When Mikey said he was getting married on the second of September of that year, 1922, Michael said he would like to meet his bride to be. Mikey asked if he would like to go to the wedding and he said he would be delighted to attend. Unfortunately, Michael Collins was assassinated in County Cork on the 22nd of August. Mikey and his wife had received a large, personally signed photograph of Michael Collins as a wedding present, which always hung proudly in their home.
The O'Mahony family reunion is being held this weekend in Dunkirk with 140 descendants attending from Delaware, Texas, Washington, Arizona, Virginia Beach, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida and Ireland.
The family reunion committee members include: William O'Connell, John O'Connell, Peggy O'Connell Wright, Donald Stoyle, Ann Hayes, Janice Falco and Michelle Falco Twichell.

ABC yanks King City restaurant's alcohol license for 30 days
Joe Szydlowski
The Californian
State regulators have temporarily yanked a King City restaurant's alcohol license as part of a deal over four accusations, including that a co-owner was drunk at the restaurant.
El Lugarcito's owners agreed to a 30-day suspension of their license to serve alcohol at its location, 128 Broadway St., the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control announced Tuesday.
The ABC had levied four allegations against the restaurant, though it did not release details on the dates or circumstances.
Obstructing justice and delaying police officers conducting an investigation.
Permitting "an intoxicated co-licensee to remain on the premises."
Refusing to allow ABC to examine its books and records
Possessing distilled spirits without the appropriate license.
El Lugarcito's license covers only the sale of beer and wine for patrons to consume on-site. It has been active since Oct. 27, 1999, according to the ABC's online license database.
This is El Lugarcito's first disciplinary action noted in ABC's database.
Two years ago another King City joint, Enchiladas Restaurant Authentic Mexican Food, received a 20-day suspension of sales. Enchiladas, at 103 Bassett St., received the suspension because of sales to minors and selling distilled spirits without the proper license.

Let us be clear. ISO 9001 has nothing to do with quality. Nothing. ISO 9001 is titled "Quality Management Systems - Requirements". So - How can I say it has absolutely nothing to do with quality?
The 'life preserver' example is often cited with respect to quality. You can make concrete life preservers if that's what the design calls for and be registered to ISO 9001. What comes into play here is the definition of quality. Our paradigm tells us a concrete life preserver would be of no use for saving lives. One must admit, however, that the design intent may be for a decorative life preserver and as such floatation and flexibility are not issues.
I'll bet either a customer requirement or your sales / marketing folks dreamed this up for you to do, right? Almost all implementations are the result of one or the other. I have never had a client which simply decided to do it because they felt doing so would be beneficial to the company. This is not to say improvement is not an issue. It almost always very much is. But that has never been the spark that initiated the process.
Many of you know I'm not a proponent of registration per se. For some companies it is a good thing. They lack the internal discipline necessary to ensure people are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
I am a gung ho proponent of the implementation process. In the very least, it necessitates a serious housekeeping effort. The process typically opens everyone's eyes to what they are doing and why. Often I refer to the early stages of implementation as the Discovery Phase. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard "I didn't know we were doing that!" Sometimes it's scary thinking how far in the dark some people are in so far as knowing and understanding what they're supposed to be doing goes. Which is pretty far. I have never seen an implementation which did not benefit the company in some way.

Stroll, ride or run along The Chuck Huckelberry Loop and you're likely to spot more than desert vegetation, wildlife and fellow users.
On the Rillito River Park, a whimsical steel sculpture of bats on bikes pays tribute to the Campbell Avenue bridge where bats roost. A three-panel tile mural created by local students can be found along the Santa Cruz, offering a historical homage to the Spanish Explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and Jesuit Missionary Padre Eusebio Kino. And a sculptural arch spanning the Julian Wash — Joining Hands — tells the story of people coming together in a joint enterprise.
Users are able to enjoy these — and more than four dozen other pieces of art along The Loop — thanks to the Pima County Board of Supervisors longtime support of a Pima County Public Art Program. The Board established the policy back in 1990 to allocate one percent of the cost of public works' projects on public art.
Some of the works you'll see along The Loop are not part of the Public Art Program, but instead are generous donations by civic-minded Loop lovers. Art helps shape the quality of life for people in Pima County by offering a form of expression that embodies our community's spirit. It also attracts people who bring a broad array of talents and experiences to this community. Expand each River Park segment below to view the artwork along the path and its corresponding location. Numbers below correspond to the artwork's numbered location on the map.
If you're out walking or riding the Loop, look for these icons (pictured) on the pavement to direct you to the artwork found in this map. Enjoy!

This playful steel sculpture of a bat on a mountain bike is the third in a series showcasing the role of roosting bats under the bridges along The Loop.
Stair-stepped shapes paired with an agave cactus form create a wave motion on this 400-foot bridge, providing continuity with the wave theme found on related projects along the corridor.
The large rammed earth doorway is made from local soil and Portland cement. The two bronze key panels that grace the top of the structure were created by 200 youth from Flowing Wells Jr. High and High School.
This circular structure built of concrete block and flagstone features eight interrupted curving walls create a kiva-like circle. Six of the walls have small ports oriented toward sunrise and sunset at the summer and winter solstices, and the spring and fall equinoxes.
Commissioned by the Thomason Family, this sculpture is the centerpiece of an expanded memorial wall and garden.
The Pima County/Tucson Parks and Recreation Civic Arts Project brought together 765 children from the community to create each component of this sculpture under the guidance of Joe Ventura. Funding was provided through the Federal Recreation Summer Program.
A large steel bench in the form of a horseshoe is painted the color of aluminum. Anchors in the shape of giant horseshoe nails serve to anchor the bench to the ground.
A tower of open steel parabolic arches narrows from its circular base to its top. Sixteen steel cut-out figures play and climb among the arches from the base to the top of the tower.
Powder-coated yellow poles feature bright yellow metal circles at the top. Varied colored handmade ceramic tile bands encircle the lower portion of the poles, representing activities that take place in the Park.
The sculpture is created in aluminum and steel that has been submerged in concrete. The sculpture is powder-coated and cold connected.
Three life-size hawk sculptures with an incised feather pattern are mounted to angled steel poles.
The metal railing and gateway bridge include angled tops in mountain-like forms. Various small shapes are welded into the fencing including leaves, flowers, wrenches, and ratchets.
This whimsical steel sculpture of bats on bikes pays tribute to the Campbell Avenue bridge where bats roost.
Catalina gneiss, a distinctive mixture of two colors of granite, was used to create these benches constructed of several boulders fitted together and two additional boulders that define a larger seating area. The benches face north to capture the view of the Catalinas.
The Shindigger Blue name was inspired by the Shindigger cactus, whose name amused the artist, a native of Indiana. The sculpture addresses aesthetic concerns that deal with balance, composition, kinetics, spatial relationships and a sense of spirited life.
Two young children are perched upon the back of a grazing horse. The boy seems to be totally into the moment, while the young girl is taking it in stride.
"Gonzo," the beloved family pet of the Fenton family for whom the park is named, is immortalized in this playful pose.
Two life-size children (boy and girl) read a book together on a small park bench in this high-quality American bronze.
This metal sculpture pays tribute to the park's namesake and her love of butterflies.
The bridge design is influenced by the artist's work, allowing the bridge form to appear to grow out of the wash.
Four chaise lounge chairs composed of steel and polished cast concrete include a cast concrete table with either a game board top or cast objects (coffee cup, newspaper, towel, drinking glass) of concrete or bronze.
A restful 30′ x 25′ garden with Palo Verde trees, plants, stone seating, bronze and stainless steel sculpture.
This combination of cascading rain and raindrops shows the abstract movement of water using 2,000 iridescent glass marbles and broken tile. The raindrops are circles of broken tile with marbles inside.
Hand-forged steel bars in the shape of a Y are anchored in reinforced concrete. One of three natural boulders features a hand-forged steel relief of agave and dome.
CNC—routed curvilinear panels in two subtle shades of blue appear as a flowing stream of water, adding vivid color to the already-sculptural form of this arched bridge.
Students from Desert Christian High School, St. Cyril School and Dodge Middle School came together to create this work.
The design is reminiscent of a cathedral window, with a vegetative pattern on the lower section tying into the natural world. The star shape is based on the Arizona flag.
This bat on a bike pays tribute not only to the Broadway bridge where bats roost but also to the thousands of cyclists who pedal along The Loop every week.
Realistic -- albeit very large -- animals and abstract/geometric stacked shapes share space. All of the pieces accomplish their purpose in providing signage and attracting attention to the park.
The Memorial Tree Park is divided into seven gardens, each with its own map depicting where a memorial tree may be found. The Children's Memorial is a semi-circle of panels with the "tree of seasons" shown.
A sculptural arch spans the path, with two sculptural "greeting" figures, drawn from Hohokam pottery, on either side of the path near Kolb. The project tells a story that unfolds as walkers and bikers move through the scenery, a story of people coming together in a joint enterprise.
Desert flowers and mountains grace this tiled piece along the Julian Wash in the midst of our own desert landscape.
A violin player, a mother and children and other cultural symbols of life in South Tucson come together in this tiled piece in the area's first neighborhood park named for Carmelin Castro, who proudly served his Yaqui community.
Animals and reptiles of the desert are depicted in these small tiled pillars along the Julian Wash.
Students at Pima County's Las Artes Arts and Education Center crafted this mural to pay tribute to the park's namesake, a dedicated participant and leader of Yaqui religious and cultural ceremonies and a revered elder of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.
Metal embellishments on handrails and pavement design honor the importance of the sun in both the Yaqui and Mexican-American cultures.
The ramada serves as the beginning point for the Julian Wash Cultural History Walk, a timeline representing the many cultures that have occupied that particular site in the ancient and recent past.
Intaglio designs used for the form liners of the concrete retaining walls were taken from the tire tracks left in the riverbed. A pattern of oblique angles and wide "V" shapes are repeated in the patterns that vary from 2 feet to 12 feet in height.
Rescued from a County storage facility, this vintage 1950s concrete frog was given an updated coat of paint to look like a native Great Plains Toad, a species which is found onsite at Paseo de las Iglesias.
This custom gable to a pre-fabricated ramada that showcases native birds and plants in layers of cut and powder coated steel.
The piece is a concrete etched entry monument with inset sandstone carvings of native animals and plants along with haikus on the reverse. An LED coopers hawk luminaria sits atop the monument.
This piece is a three-panel tile mural created by Las Artes students, which is themed with imagery of Spanish Explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and Padre Eusebio Kino.
Images come from archeological digs through time. Reproductions of Hohokam village artifacts appear on the lower wall. Memorials and message tiles were made during community workshops.
Leaves, dragonflies and the many users of the Loop are depicted in several mosaic murals. All are part of the Ben's Bells effort, a program dedicated to promoting community kindness.
The rich verdant land of the Santa Cruz River drew people to settle and farm here millennia ago. The integration of artistic themes on the bridge gives due reverence to this once perennial river that sustained and nourished countless generations before rapid population growth.
The dominant feature of the plaza is four rammed earth sculptural monoliths that face toward the black volcanic mountain now called Sentinel Peak. Design elements include a 'spirit' line, plaza, and seating.
The depiction of the Last Supper features statues all made of concrete, sand, and debris recovered from the Santa Cruz River. The piece was moved to its current location in 1982 as a part of the Santa Cruz River flood control improvements.
This archway was originally part of three garden installations completed in 2000: Acacia, Willow and Mesquite. In 2016, due to land settling, the tiled archway was moved to its current location.
The entry mural sits in an elevated arch of used brick. Low concrete walls run the length of the park in seven separate sections. Ceramic tiles create a narrative of historical events in the nearby barrios.
The design was sketched onto the concrete and then incised lightly into the existing pavement of the plaza next to the baseball fields. The shapes were cut by hand using diamond cutting wheels and an angle grinder.
The bridge railing encompasses the past, present and future of the Santa Cruz River by featuring desert blooms, flowing water, people from past, present and future communities, cottonwoods, snakes and birds that once populated the area.
The bronze sculpture features a boy and girl reading on a log that's emblazoned with the words "hope" and "love." The butterflies pay tribute to Christina-Taylor Green's love of butterflies.
Students painted two quail flying over a mountain landscape. A large steel butterfly perched on top is from Christina-Taylor Green's last drawing.
A bronze mountain lion sits atop a rock-like platform with ceramic tile mural.
To create greater awareness and appreciation of wildlife issues, this Troop designed, built, and installed this monument, featuring inspirational quotes, metal animal silhouettes, rebar frame, river rock fill, and a registry where visitors can leave messages about wildlife.
Early pioneer children make their slow journey across plains and through fields. In a world of fast travel and too many conveniences, Family Ride expresses a gentle slowing of pace and a patient acceptance and understanding of the beauty of waiting.
Steam Pump Ranch was an important way station for those traveling on horseback from the Florence/Eloy/Casa Grande roadway area into the Tucson Basin. This piece is meant to carry on Oro Valley's goal of offering hospitality to all.
Originally a cattle ranch, the site for this piece features metal leaves, stems and flowers designed in a 'tooled' leather fashion harkening back to the ranching days. Each of the five sculptures depicts various growth stages of the datura plant from early flower buds to fruiting structures.


In a statement that accompanied its 2009 results on Tuesday, the firm said 2010 would be another challenging year and that its order book was 14% below the same time last year.
The group described most of its markets as "severely depressed throughout most of the year". As a result, turnover fell 13% from £1.2bn to £1.04bn and pre-tax profit slumped more than a third from £113.2m to £74.7m. Keller's profit margin fell from 9.5% to 7.2%.
The group, which only turns over £58m (2008: £85m) in the UK market, said its policy of geographical diversification was paying off, with 26% of turnover coming from Australia and emerging markets.
The independent companies that make up its UK operation have been restructured to win larger jobs and the company said this led to its securing a piling contract for Crossrail at Tottenham Court Road tube station.
Keller said commercial and residential markets in the US were weak, and that turnover there fell from £532m to £467m; in the Middle East it said it had seen "signs of the markets stirring" in recent weeks.


Atheism - disbelief in God (the Judeo-Christian-Muslim deity) or any sort of supernatural god or gods - is a direct conclusion or corollary of naturalism. The articles in this section place atheism in the broader context of naturalism, suggesting that atheists might profitably expand their horizons beyond mere disbelief into a positive endorsement of a naturalistic worldview. Atheists strongly identifying as such, or those not in a market for a comprehensive worldview, will decline this invitation, which is fine. Naturalism isn't for everyone. But many atheists, skeptics and freethinkers when they encounter worldview naturalism, find it a congenial extension of their skepticism about the supernatural. Welcome!

Собор Христа Царя () — кафедральный собор католической архиепархии Йоханнесбурга в ЮАР. Храм расположен в городе Йоханнесбурге на Энд стрит, 192. С 1999 года является памятником архитектуры. Собор Христа Царя является главой церковью Йоханнесбургской Римско-католической епархии и является информационным центром для Римско-католической общины Йоханнесбурга

История
В начале XX века католическая община Йоханнесбурга начала увеличиваться и старая церковь, построенная в 1896 году, уже не могла вместить всех желающих. Идея строительства собора была выдвинута первым католическим епископом Йоханнесбурга Дэвидом О'Лири в 1937 году. Строительство собора было отложено из-за начала Второй Мировой войны. О'Лири умер в 1950 году и сбором средств для постройки собора занимался епископ В. П. Уилан. Сбор средств был закончен в 1957 году, а первый камень собора был заложен в 1958 году. Здание было спроектировано архитектором Брайаном Грегори из Белфаста, строительные работы велись под руководством Джона П. Монагана. Собор был освящён и открыт в 1960 году.

Recently, Basic and Clinical Neuroscience published an article by Lim et al. (2016) entitled Co-occurence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas. They claimed it as the first case of co-occurence of these two malignancies. However, to our knowledge, this is not the first case reported in this regard. We reported the same case scenario in a 61-year-old woman referred to our outpatient clinic in 2007. In this commentary, we are going to discuss our reported case and present a brief review over co-occurence of intracranial meningioma with pituitary adenoma.

Iran to Receive Loan from Russia for Its Infrastructure Projects
The Iranian cabinet has approved a bill that allows the government to receive loan from Russia for implementation of certain infrastructure and production projects.
According to a report by IFP, in a cabinet session on Wednesday, which was chaired by President Hassan Rouhani, the government approved a bill to receive loan from Russia.
The loan is expected to be allocated to new energies, nuclear power, railways, highways, dams, irrigations systems, and water transfer projects, Fars News Agency said in a Farsi report.
The decision came as Iran and Russia have demonstrated a distinct effort in tightening their cooperation in energy, industrial and infrastructure projects and investment.
In July 2016, Russia and Iran signed a new strategic five-year plan that encompassed thirteen agreements that focused on energy, construction and trade.
It appears as if Russia has been given a priority position for investment: a $1 billion offshore rig contract was awarded to a Russian firm; 1 billion Euros of a total 2.2 billion Euro loan plan will be allocated by Russia towards construction of a power plant in Iran, and the construction of a new transport rail system called the North-South Transport Corridor (N.S.T.C.) connecting India, Iran and Russia via Azerbaijan is also to be co-financed by Russia.
Russia is also a preferred partner in helping Iran with expanding Iran's nuclear power generation capacity.
To be able to increase its oil output significantly, Iran needs to replace its outdated oil equipment and infrastructure, which requires large foreign investments worth billions of US dollars.

There are enough materials on Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) to fill an entire semester of personal finance lessons, but teachers can also pick and choose, developing smaller units or inserting a financial lesson here and there during the school year. You can assign activities or group projects to dig deep into important financial topics, or you can lead class discussions or give lectures on info vital to financial success and stability. Students can also watch relevant videos from the website's well-curated collection. Most of the site's resources are kept on Google Drive and thus can be downloaded and customized for your class's needs. Each unit also has free assessments for people with free teacher accounts.
The group that runs the website also provides valuable (and free) professional development options, including one-day workshops in cities around the country, webinars on financial topics, a professional learning community (PLC) of small group support, conference opportunities, and a Summer Institute, where attendees become NGPF Fellows.
The Next Gen Personal Finance website contains extensive free resources for teachers to put together finance lessons for middle and high school students. Topics include Checking, Saving, Types of Credit, Managing Credit, Paying for College, Budgeting, Investing, Financial Pitfalls, Career, Taxes, Insurance, and more. Each of these topics has lessons, activities, projects, case studies, financial math assignments, and links to external resources. Most of the resources are in Google Drive format, allowing them to be downloaded and customized. The site has also organized the resources into lesson plans and long- and short-term curricula, including assessments. These assessments are available to anyone with a free teacher account. The website itself isn't really a destination for students. It's designed with teachers in mind, who can draw on the resources and create engaging lessons for their students.
Create a resource (such as a slideshow, wallet card, or podcast) with a group that serves as a cheat sheet for college-bound students on how to use credit cards responsibly.
Learn about a teen employee's first job in a case study and how she handles tax issues that she's now responsible for, including W-4 forms, W-2 forms, tax refunds, and more.
In a Number Chug, students can study the inflation of groceries over time through the prices of pasta and creamy peanut butter.
It's easy to peruse the offerings on Next Gen Personal Finance, picking out materials that are relevant to your class needs. The site itself is well organized and easy to navigate, with decent search options, but there are few frills. Students who engage with materials from Next Gen Personal Finance will come to understand financial concepts like banking, investments, credit, taxes, insurance, and more. They'll be more prepared to make financial decisions as independent adults, and they'll better anticipate and plan for their future financial needs. Students will learn from case studies, they will practice working out finances with Data Crunch and Number Chugs, and they'll make some hard financial decisions in the activities and projects. Students will sometimes do this work on their own, but projects lend themselves well to being done in groups, which can replicate workplace or family financial decision-making. Students and groups can also share the results of their work with their class, so they can learn from each other as well.
The resources provide a solid foundation, but gaining and keeping students' attention falls to the teachers. Involved teachers can use these resources to teach quite dynamic lessons, however.
Hands-on activities with real-life financial situations and difficult decisions truly help prepare students for navigating the often complicated world of personal finance.
Customizable resources, online chat, and valuable (free) professional development opportunities support teachers as they teach lessons to individual students or classes.

Watch: Headspace and Whole Foods Usher in Spring with Wellness Series
Spring has sprung, and to usher in a new season of wellness, Whole Foods Market and Headspace have launched a cross-platform collaboration to promote mindful eating and shopping. The collaboration between the grocery retailer and meditation app company, which launched on March 18, includes a video series on Instagram ("Food for Mood") and three meditations centered on mindful shopping, cooking, and eating.
Each of the four episodes of "Food for Mood" will feature recipes by chef and food/welfare advocate Sophia Roe, as well as insights from Harvard nutritional psychiatrist, chef and author of "This is Brain on Food," Dr. Uma Naidoo. In the first five-minute episode, Roe and Naidoo make a colorful gluten-free baked berry crunch (watch above). New episodes will roll out through the remainder of the month on Whole Foods' Instagram account, with the second installment going live on March 23. The collaboration also includes a free month-long trial to the meditation app's premium-tier membership, Headspace Plus.

The team-up comes at a time when consumers are thinking more consciously about what they put into their carts—and into their bodies. According to a Harris Poll survey (conducted on behalf of Whole Foods Market), 85 percent of respondents would like to take steps to improve overall well-being, while 79 percent said that eating more mindfully is a priority.

"Mindful eating is so much more than just paying attention to our food—it encompasses finding joy and inspiration in our shopping, being present and intentional with our meal preparation, savoring what's on our plate and developing a greater awareness of how it makes us feel or contributes to our wellbeing," Eve Lewis, Headspace director of meditation, said in a press release.
It's the latest in what appears to be a growing list of content collaborations with well-known companies for the meditation app, which boasts 70 million users in 190 countries: Just last week, Headspace announced "Headspace Breathers," a mindfulness content initiative with Google aimed at families.

'Call of Duty: Ghosts' gameplay reveals new information
Christopher Sheridan
Little by little, Activision has been revealing information about the next iteration of its annual flagship franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts. While it was expected that the publisher would choose to unearth everything at E3, the unique decision has been made to show of 30 minutes of gameplay today, before E3 begins. It…pretty much looks like Call of Duty.
The stream shown during the All Access event gives a pretty good amount of gameplay and information, beginning with an underwater level and displaying some impressive next-gen underwater life and physics. Another level continues to impress with great lighting design, particle effects and physics. The video ends with a montage of impressive shots shown in a wide screen to display as much as possible. People that actually play the series for the story may be in for a treat, as the writer of Traffic and Syriana, Stephen Gaghan, will be penning the game's narrative.
There's also Riley–the K9 companion that acts as combat support in the field as an AI character, but can also be given directions by the player via basic commands. Riley can be sent ahead to scout the area and relay information to the player through a camera attached to his back. It appears that Riley also intuitively reacts to enemies in the vicinity, barking when one is nearby.
Does any of this alleviate your franchise fatigue with Call of Duty, or have you been excited for the game since the announcement? Tell us in the comments, or visit us on Facebook or Twitter!
Chris has been writing about the industry in some capacity for over 5 years, and loves doing it. When he's not enjoying the latest novelty indie game, he can be found watching movies or telling lame jokes. PSN: SheriffSheridan, Steam: cmichaelsheridan

The bridge in order to get to this city was completed in 1925, making it an attracting place for developers. Those developers, as time went on, helped to create the perfect vacation spot for anyone looking for some fun in the sun.

Q: What is the path of an excel file in bot framework? I am working with bot framework and i want to create an excel file in my bot but i don't know how to create the file inside http://yoursuperbot.azurewebsites.net/Files/, so it will be very helpfull if someone help me here.Thanks

A: As your bot scales up, you'll probably want to run it across multiple nodes, in which case storing the doc on a single node doesn't make a lot of sense.  If you just want access to the doc, I'd suggest storing it in blob storage.  There's a good tutorial here.
One the other hand if you are using the excel file to store data (that you may want to change / update), I'd suggest table storage.  Here's a tutorial on that.
Once you get past the initial setup (which isn't too hard), you'll find these to be much better solutions.

Oakland McDonald's workers strike after COVID-19 outbreak
Telegraph McDonald's store shut down Tuesday
Hayward, California – April 9, 2020: Guadelupe Sanchez, an employee at a McDonald's restaurant in San Leandro, led a caravan of essential workers at the fast food company from two San Jose locations as they chanted, held signs and honked as they circled a Hayward location on Thursday to demand wage increases and more personal protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic.

PUBLISHED: May 26, 2020 at 11:21 a.m. | UPDATED: May 27, 2020 at 3:11 p.m.
OAKLAND — After allegedly being told to masks made out of dog diapers, employees of a McDonald's in Oakland went on strike Tuesday, effectively shutting down the restaurant, after at least four workers and their family members got sick with COVID-19.
A mask made out of a dog diaper and used by workers at a McDonald's store in Oakland.
Last month, McDonald's workers held a car protest in Hayward demanding hazard pay and more coronavirus safeguards. Workers from various restaurants including San Jose and San Leandro were in a car caravan circling the fast-food chain in Hayward, honking and holding signs in protest. The protests in early April was inspired in part by similar protests in Los Angeles at that tie when a worker tested positive for the virus.

To empower moms and all women to live fierce!
Live Fierce Wellness has been born to empower moms and all women, to create a life where they can live fierce, through their goals and dreams. Whether it is to get fit and create a lifestyle change for their family, making healthy meals, finding balance with healthy eating and fitness with a crazy schedule, creating a chemical free home, or traveling to give their families experiences. I love helping and teaching others to live their life to the fullest.
Through the craziness of our family's schedule and what could be most people's 'tap out' of not creating a life they want. I want to show you how to create the balance and still live the life you want. I love helping others and encouraging them to meet their goals and dreams. In college I found a passion of working with high school girls and helping to encourage them to love their bodies where they are, and not struggle to attain the body the media said they should have. Now, being a mom and seeing the same issues arise in my life; it is the same struggle. I desire to show women how to take time for themselves and create that healthy lifestyle for them and their families through balance and fierceness.
I have been in the fitness industry since 2009 after getting my degree in Health and Exercise Science. Our family has never worked a 'normal' 9-5pm job, so we are very well versed in adapting to crazy schedules, but getting life done at the same time. We have a very strong willed toddler girl, who is so smart, witty, fun, athletic and loves to push our buttons. My passion in life is helping women live life to the fullest, achieving goals, dream and to LIVE FIERCE!
Definition: mom, wife, friend, sister, health and fitness enthusiast, Young Living Oil lover, entrepreneur and love to LIVE FIERCE.
I am a coffee connoisseur, active clothes wearing mom, wife, health/fitness freak, crafter, world traveler, and a homebody, OH, and LOVE to have a good gangsta rap dance party every once-in-a while! I really enjoy spending quality time with people and getting to know them and their heart.
I love spending time outdoors, whether it is getting a workout in, sitting soaking up some vitamin D or going on a walk with our dogs, being outside in the sun warms my heart!


I'm sure we've all wished we could time travel so that we could go forwards or backwards in time. Have you ever wished that you could travel to a different dimension? Things would be different there. In another dimension we could be living underwater, there might be no One Direction, or the world could be ruled by cats. In Christopher Edge's fantastic new book, The Many Worlds of Albie Bright, Albie just wants to find a dimension in which his mum is still alive. He's determined to find that dimension, and he's going to do it with just a computer, a Geiger counter, a cardboard box and a banana.
In The Many Worlds of Albie Bright, Christopher Edge takes you on an inter-dimensional journey with lots of laughs and a whole lot of heart. One moment you are laughing at Albie's interactions with himself from another dimension and the next your heart is aching because you wish Albie could find his mum and find his way home. It is Albie's longing to see his mum again that leads him to discovering her research in the garage and setting out to find her in another dimension.
Science plays an important part in the story. Albie's dad is a scientist who has his own TV show about the wonders of the universe, Albie's mum was a scientist, so Albie knows a lot about science. Christopher has woven information about all sorts of science in to the book, which I found really interesting. I know a lot more now about the Large Hadron Collider and what scientists are trying to achieve with this from reading this book. It's a great book for those kids (especially boys) who like reading nonfiction but struggle to find something to read.
My favourite thing about this book is that its all about traveling through different dimensions rather than through time. I haven't come across a story like this before so it was a really interesting read. I love the idea of things being different in different dimensions. In a book written by his dad Albie reads that there could be just small differences between dimensions, but Albie discovers some big differences. In one dimension Albie is a girl in a wheelchair, in another there are two moons orbiting Earth. It was fun picking these differences when Albie traveled to another dimension.
Covers are extremely important for children's fiction and I think Matt Saunders' cover for The Many Worlds of Albie Bright is wonderful. It will certainly make the book jump off the shelf.
Grab a banana, a cardboard box and copy of The Many Worlds of Albie Bright and take the journey of a lifetime.

Q: Tomcat MIME type for file with no extension Is it possible with Tomcat to specify/change the MIME type sent for files that don't have an extension?

A: No way to do that as in the mapping of conf/web.xml in tomcat you need to provide the extension. However you could maybe try something from your application like having a servlet filter. e.g:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
    chain.doFilter(request, response);

La Loche paramedics given award for response in wake of mass shooting
by MBC News | May 31, 2016 | Current News | 0 comments
Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Kalvin Jones and Darryl Morin. Source: Darryl Morin.
The first two paramedics on the scene after a shooter opened fire in La Loche high school's Dene building, were part of a special ceremony in Regina this week.
In the aftermath of the January 22 shootings that killed four La Loche residents, politicians spoke of heroic acts from that day but remained mum on the details.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he spoke with first responders to the crisis and that in time, Canadians will hear about those who kept one of the largest mass shootings in Canadian history from being even more tragic.
On Monday, for the first time, the public learned the names of some of those responders.
Ile-a-la-Crosse-based paramedics Darryl Morin and Kalvin Jones were honoured for their response when Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Schofield gave them the Star of Life Team Award at a ceremony in Regina.
They were the first two paramedics at the La Loche high school's Dene building that afternoon, and the details are grim. Two educators were shot dead in the school and seven more were seriously injured. Two more teen brothers were killed before the shooter arrived at the school.
More details on the acts of bravery by both Morin and Jones are provided in the awards bio, which reads that "under RCMP protection and with an active shooter still in the building, Kalvin and Darryl provided outstanding medical care to get the victims safely to the health center."
The bio states that "ehen faced with such an incredible situation these two professionals did more than what was expected of them. Their outstanding commitment, caring and professional response have led them to be recognized for a Star of Life Team Award."
Global News spoke with the two men, reporting that both have struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder in the months since.
The Keewatin Yatthe Regional Health Authority provided further details on how Morin and Jones have felt in the months since the crisis.
In recognition of the combined efforts of those responding to the shooting, Morin dedicated his award to La Loche Fire, the RCMP, doctors, nurses, hospital staff, community members, and STARS Air Ambulance.
"It's not only for me. It's for all those first responders who responded on that sad, tragic day in La Loche."
Both Morin and Jones say they haven't put their uniforms on since January 22, and while Morin is sure he'll return to work, he isn't sure when.
"This is what I love to do — helping people. I've been working in EMS for 16 years, since high school. I'm still doing it and I'm still going strong."
Jones lives in Ile-a-la-Crosse, and according to the Keewatin Yatthe Regional Health Authority, has been nervous about returning to La Loche since the incident.
However, the recognition has given him the motivation to return to studies to become a primary care paramedic.
Eighteen other paramedics from across Saskatchewan were honoured in Monday's ceremony.
