After a wonderful arrival party in the Soo the previous night, Sandra and I were off for a morning tour of the city with our official tour guide: Marni! A fun fact we'd learned the night previous was that the Soo has an area (actually, the area in which we were staying!) called the "P Patch". Why such a name, you might ask? Well, to get to our place you had to: Drive along Pine, passing Passmore, then turn onto Pleasant, then Pinemore, then Princeton, and proceed to Panoramic. I think you get the point. Look it up on Google Maps! It's pretty impressive! What's perhaps more amazing to me is the fact that the Soo also has an area called the "G Patch". They neglected to call it the "G Spot". Missed opportunity.
On our city tour, the first stop was the Roberta Bondar pavilion in search of her bust. Can you imagine? Canada's first female astronaut has her bust on display year-round! After some searching, we managed to find it. It was smaller than expected, so I didn't take any photos.
Next stop was the Soo Locks, which allow ships to travel between Lake Superior and the other great lakes. We were lucky enough to arrive at a time when we could spot a big ship going through the locks. I was amazed at how quickly the water was emptied in the locks once the process had begun. Within a few minutes the large tour boat we were observing dropped its own height before our eyes!
After the locks we took a small trip to the Trading Post, which is a series of shops selling all sorts of food and crafts. But also ice cream. So we went for that. At that point we were running out of time so we parted ways with Marni and proceeded onward toward our next destination: Neys Provincial Park! Our first night of camping!
Along the way we hit a few more highlights. Chippewa Falls sits at the halfway point of the Trans-Canada Highway. Although we definitely didn't start our trip on the eastern end of the Trans-Canada, we'll end our trip on the western end! It felt like we were making good progress to get there. We stopped in at Agawa Crafts and The Canadian Carver to check out the wares. Beautiful artwork, a well-deserved pee, and a fantastic selection of northern wildlife-themed garments were all to be had.
We'd received a hot tip the previous night about Bathtub Island, which is an unmarked but really neat geographic feature just south of Katherine Cove. It's a little rocky island with a large, flat bowl-like area that allows in only a trickle of water from surrounding Lake Superior. The shallow "bathtub" is then heated by the sun making the water temperature much more tolerable than the surrounding waters of Superior. You can wander out to the island on foot if you're willing to wade through waist-deep semi-frigid waters to get there. It was well worth the effort!
The last remaining hours of the day brought us through Wawa (to see the brand spanking new Wawa goose replacement!), then through White River (home of Winnie the Poo, whose full name is actually Winnipeg!), and finally past Marathon, Ontario to reach Neys Provincial Park. We caught an incredible sunset over the highway near Marathon and arrived at our campsite by the beach just as the sun was dipping below the surrounding hills.
Sandra and I managed to get the tent set up for the first time without any difficulties, although we could hear thunder in the distance. We managed to stay dry while preparing for bed, but not long after getting settled into the tent the rain started to fall. There aren't many more fun places to witness a rainstorm than a tent, however. The wind and raindrops play in surround-sound fashion. It appeared that we had set the tent up correctly since we didn't get wet!
My line to Sandra: it's been a fantastic day, Neys pas?


There has been an incredible growth in mobile apps to facilitate citizen science, but most are unused and subsequently abandoned by the developers.
Abstract: Citizen science has become an increasingly popular means of engaging the public in the collection of scientific data. In parallel, scientists are creating mobile platforms to facilitate their citizen science projects. Such mobile apps hold the potential to significantly increase our capacity to do scientific research, as well as our ability to provide informal science education to broad audiences. However, our understanding of the development, use, and efficacy of mobile applications for citizen science remains limited. How do we know what apps are available and how they are being engaged? We used web crawlers to search for citizen science mobile applications on the Android and iOS platforms. We used a number of different keywords to capture all possible applications and then reviewed each one to ensure it met criteria for inclusion. We identified 138 unique citizen science mobile applications, including 48 common to both platforms. The median range of downloads for applications on the Android platform was 500-1000, indicating that very few experience widespread adoption. We also observed that more than 70% of the applications have not been updated for more than a year. This raises interesting questions regarding the return on the investment in developing these apps. As such, we searched for peer-reviewed science or science education literature associated with each application and found articles relating to only 15% of them to date. At this time, it appears that very few mobile citizen science applications are resulting in published data and that little is known about how those applications affect public engagement in science. However, of those applications with widespread adoption, analysis of the text of user reviews indicated that participants liked facilitating science, appreciated application functionality, and were engaging applications to seek scientific information. While such results are promising, there is clearly a critical need for the community to study how we engage technology for citizen science and science education, as well as translate these findings into best practices that can inform how we invest our resources in the future.

Violent Games Do Not Create Violent Children
Posted by TonyTGD on March 05, 2017
As always, members of the media and the government are attacking the video game industry, despite not having a national tragedy to thrust the latest battle in the war on video games into the public spotlight. In the past, CNN reported that President Obama was looking into the link between violent games and violent children. A link that obviously was not established since we have not heard a single thing about it. The look into violent games was the government's knee jerk reaction to the tragic Sandy Hook situation. Once again the blame is being shifted from parental and community responsibility to the various entertainment industries. Years ago, comic books were turning us into delinquents and anarchist. When D & D was popular it ushered in the new wave of Satanist Cults. We all remember how Rock and Roll caused an entire generation to become drug addicts, right? Sarcasm aside, violent games do not create violent children. Don't believe me? Well, let's take a look at some of the common arguments that violent games cause violent children and try to once and for all debunk this foolish way of thinking.
Argument #1: Violent games cause kids to get into more trouble.
It has been proven that those gamers attracted to violent games have shown a higher prevalence to violence while gamers who have no interest in conflict, simulated or real, don't play violent games. This predisposition towards violence skews the juvenile criminal statistics the media trots out to show a correlation between violence and games. Quite frankly, with or without video games these children and young adults would likely get into trouble. It's easy to look at the Columbine tragedy and say it was done due to the pair's love of Doom, but it is also ridiculous. If they loved apples would we blame violence on apples? They liked leather jackets. Perhaps we should stop selling those? Doom didn't make them commit a crime: a lack of parental supervision combined with the complete obliviousness to their repeated bullying by others led to it. If violent games were responsible for children turning violent, then juvenile detention centers would have quadrupled after the introduction of the modern first person shooter. However, it actually seems like the amount of juvenile crime has gone down, as those children who would be on the street causing trouble are now indoors playing Call of Duty.
Argument #2: Violent games cause kids to get involved in more serious trouble.
Some people will concede that the amount of crime caused by children has not increased, but the serious nature of those crimes being committed has escalated. With things like the Sandy Hook Tragedy and the Columbine shootings it is obvious that the serious nature of the crimes committed by children have escalated since the introduction of violent video games. In fact, the school shootings in Franklin County, Plain Dealing, Austin, and Chicago would lend credence to this argument if not for the fact that these school shootings all occurred before the introduction of video games. As long as guns have existed, someone somewhere has used one to commit a crime. Another thing one has to consider is the rise of video games has happened almost simultaneously as the rise of drugs leading to a number of gangs to recruit young children to do their dirty work and in no way those serious crimes were caused by video games. This won't stop the anti-video game advocates from lumping those serious crimes into their data to show how video games cause children to commit serious crimes.
Argument #3: Violent games train kids how to kill.
Holding a controller or using a keyboard is nothing like holding a real gun. Anyone who would tell you that a Nintendo Zapper is the equivalent to a pistol is just plain crazy and most likely has never held a real gun. Claiming games like Duke Nukem train kids to kill makes about as much sense as saying Madden '16 teaches me how to play football at a professional level. The idea that playing Football Manager could make me a world class soccer player is ridiculousness, yet FPS games turning kids into trained assassins somehow seems plausible to these anti-violent game nuts? The fact is games do not train people to do anything but play the game. If games did train children to become killers I am sure the various criminal empires around the world would be recruiting at the local FPS tournaments, but since we have never heard of that then I can assume this is a completely made up and ridiculous argument.
Argument #4: Violent games teach children murder is super awesome.
Never have I played an ESRB rated game that said murder is super awesome or even morally acceptable. Murder is treated in games just as it is in real life: murder is a crime. In the few games that actually feature murder, not a single one presents it as a thing that is normal or acceptable to do. In GTA games you kill a lot of people, but you play a criminal who is a bad person. The police go after you if you commit murder because it is wrong in the game just like in real life. Games like Hitman, which has it's central game mechanic as murder, penalize the player for killing innocent NPCs. Other games like Splinter Cell go out of their way to make the game severely harder if they choose to murder or outright fail the player and make them restart the level. Games never teach children that murder is good despite what Jack Thompson would tell you.
Argument #5: Violent games are too realistic, making kids forget they are no longer in the game.
Where do I begin with this one? Children who can't separate fantasy from reality have deeper problems than I can even comprehend. Normal children, however, never mistake a game for real life. Kids don't run around jumping their fist into bricks because they play too much Super Mario Bros. Teens don't go to therapy because they believe a higher power is controlling them via a hovering green diamond after a long session of playing The Sims. Kids don't break into people's homes, smashing pots in hopes of finding money because Link does it in Zelda games. Not a single child has broke their fist trying to punch a tree into a cube of wood.. Yet there are media figures who would have you believe FPS players can't stop shooting people after playing Call of Duty or the new Doom game. This is just another ridiculous statement that falls completely apart when anyone with common sense actually looks closely at it.
Argument #6: Violent games are nothing more than murder simulators.
I guess this is true, if you remove the story and context of the games. In truth, violent games teach children many skills despite their reputation. Games like Team Fortress 2 teaches teamwork and communication skills. Playing Assassins' Creed or Star Craft 2 teaches children problem solving. War games often have historical context and teaches bits of history, enticing kids to learn more on their own. Aside from these less obvious things, violent games teach hand eye coordination, improves reflexes, offers opportunities for strategic planning with teammates, and teaches children the consequences of violence. Another thing violent games does is open up an opportunity for children and parents to discuss various topics, including murder, war, crime, and general socially acceptable behavior.. The problem is parents don't take these opportunities. Instead, they think video games and TV are appropriate baby sitters and child rearing machines, alleviating them of any responsibility.
In conclusion, violent games may in fact be violent, but they provide many social skills children need to survive in today's world. Playing Manhunt won't make your child a killer just like playing MLB The Show won't make them the next Babe Ruth. Parents are ultimately responsible for their child's moral education and parking them in front of the TV with a controller won't relieve you of that obligation. Games may be entertainment, but they are also a tool to foster communication between parents and kids. Talk to them, hug them, tell them you love them, and stop tea bagging them when you beat them at COD.As always. feel free to comment, like, share, tweet, or whatever other thing you kids do on your social media these days.

Games like Metal Slug
Back in the day, we all grew up with a plethora of run & gun games such as the renowned Contra series, Super Turrican 2, Gunstar Heroes, and Alien Soldier. All of these games were a bit difficult to finish on the first attempt, but after many deaths, players eventually managed to reach the credit scene. There's one franchise that shares a variety of features with all the games mentioned yet it manages to still stnd out. The franchise I'm talking about is Metal Slug. Personally, I believe Metal Slug was SNK's answer to Konami's Contra series as they both share pretty much the same concept and the overall chaotic atmosphere. Aliens attacked planet earth and it's your job to defend the human race ( if there's any left, of course). And because I adore this franchise, I made a list of games similar to Metal Slug. I'm confident this list will peak your interest as it contains some great titles. Rapid Reload The first game on the list is Rapid Reload or Gunners Heaven a it's
Classic God of War Clones
The release of the original God of War back in 2005 has been met with universal praise and went to be a commercial success along with receiving several awards. Of course, this success resulted in the emergence of a myriad of titles that tried to capitalize on that success. Before we dive into the list of classic God of War clones, one thing everyone should know is that God of War took plenty of inspiration from several titles such as Tecmo's Rygar, Conan the Barbarian, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Prince of Persia, and more. The developers borrowed and enhanced those ideas to deliver what they deemed " an epic game ". Conan (2007) Released by THQ and developed by nStigate Games, Conan is the result of what happens when you try to mimic a successful game such as God of War. Aficionados will just end up hammering your title as nothing but a dull clone, and as a result, the game goes on to become an obscure title that only a few people will play. Still, Conan is far from a bad game. It's ac
What Inspired: The Last of Us
Back in 2013, The Last of Us came out as a huge hit on the PlayStation 3. Its emotional storyline, gameplay, and the memorable characters gained tremendous praise. Journalists, and gamers, as well as fanboys, fell in love with the game instantly and couldn't escape the pleasure that it made them feel. To no one's surprise, The Last of Us is now reigning among the best selling games on the platform as well as one of the highest critically acclaimed games in the industry. Yet, the aforementioned, known among players and fanboys, isn't the first game of its kind. The Last of Us underwent several changes before becoming what it is. In addition, the latter took inspiration from various games that in my opinion don't get the credit they deserve. These titles assisted in shaping the game's various mechanics such as the gameplay, the puzzles, and other mechanics. Today, I'll be talking about games and other pieces of evidence that helped shape The Last of Us. I&#
A look at the cancelled Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy
After finishing Legacy of Kain: Defiance, players were eager to see what the developers had in store for them. The wait took longer then expected and when news finally broke fans received quite a shock; Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy had been canceled. Since then, nothing much has been heard from the Legacy of Kain franchise. Square Enix did try to revive the franchise through a reboot title called LOK: Dead Sun, but that particular title has also been canceled. Now, the franchise is in a deep slumber, and nobody knows when will it ever be getting a follow-up if it ever. Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy was to be developed by Ritual Entertainment, known for the SiN games, with assistance from Crystal Dynamics back in 2004. The game was meant to be the sixth in the timeline and a follow-up to LOK: Defiance. We can always look back at what Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy could've been while hoping Square Enix would re-consider reviving the franchise in the future. If Medievil
Tips and Tactics: Judgment PS5 final side cases
Sega recently released Judgment, their 2019 Yakuza title, for the PS5. When I cleared the story, I spent roughly 50 hours following the narrative along with clearing some of the side cases. For those wondering, in order to clear every side case, you must also befriend everyone you possibly can in Kamurocho. My total time ended up at over 70 hours played. Believe it or not, part of this stemmed from a mistake I made with my money. My limited VR Passes, my unwillingness to clear the final difficulty of Drone Racing, and my abhorrence towards beating Mahjong lead me to farm money for hours on end. Since I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did and so you can actually wrap up the game and move on with your life, I'll write up a simple guide for you to follow. The good news is you do not have to finish the Drone Races. In fact, you only have to finish the first course. Doing so will trigger a new friend event. The bad news is you will have to search for 50 QR codes within Ka

Multiparameter Flow Cytometry to Detect Hematogones and to Assess B-lymphocyte clonality in Bone Marrow Samples from Patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
Hematogones are precursors of B-lymphocytes detected in small numbers in the bone marrow. Flow cytometry is the most useful tool to identify hematogones and, so far, 4-color methods have been published. In addition, flow cytometry is used in the diagnosis and follow-up of lymphomas. We developed a flow cytometric 7-color method to enumerate hematogones and to assess B-lymphocyte clonality for routine purposes. We evaluated 171 cases of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, either at diagnosis or in the course of follow-up. By our diagnostic method, which was carried out by the combination K/λ/CD20/CD19/CD10/CD45/CD5, we were able to detect hematogones in 97.6% of samples and to distinguish normal B-lymphocytes, neoplastic lymphocytes and hematogones in a single step. The percentage of hematogones showed a significant inverse correlation with the degree of neoplastic infiltration and, when bone marrow samples not involved by disease were taken into consideration, resulted higher in patients during follow-up than in patients evaluated at diagnosis.

Bob Moore, founder of Bob's Red Mill, is holding down the whole grains game as one of its original players.
Old men with facial hair have been selling us things for decades. Colonel Sanders did it with a goatee and a string tie for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wilford Brimley and his mustache pitched you Quaker Oats and a mysterious captain preaches about Crunchberries every Saturday morning. There's just something trustworthy about buying products from a man on Golden Pond, and Bob Moore knows that. The namesake of Oregon-based Bob's Red Mill has been using his own image (along with his signature cap, beard, and bolo tie) to sell people whole grains since the '70s.
He may look like a kindly grandfather type on all of those bags of quinoa, but the truth is that 86-year-old Moore is a shrewd businessman with a bit of a temper who's found success following the combined lessons of the Bible and obscure library books. With over 400 whole grain products in his catalog and a presence in nearly every major grocery chain in America (plus another 81 foreign markets), it's not a stretch to call Bob the unofficial King of Whole Grains.
In a wide-ranging interview with Food Republic, Moore covered everything from how he developed his signature look to what he believes is the indisputable truth about whole grains. This is the knowledge we gleaned from Bob.
Where diet is concerned, our personal preference does not change the reality of what our bodies need for good health. It doesn't make any difference if your kid likes sugar all the time. This is a reality that anyone can say anywhere, under any circumstance. If that's all they eat, they're going to do it at the expense of their body's health, and that's a fact. Your body needs certain nutrients at certain times in certain quantities, and that's the reality of good health. Whole grains are definitely a part of that.
GIG [the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America] came and told me about gluten-free, which I had no knowledge of whatsoever. They wanted me to keep the gluten-free grains, which would be rice and millet and those, separate from wheat, rye, and barley, because they had problems with it. And I read up a little bit about it, and I talked to a very knowledgable fellow, and I wasn't doing any testing or anything, but we did keep some separate there.
People came to me and wanted gluten-free foods, and I could produce them. So it wasn't out of the benevolence of my heart that I did it; it's because I'm a businessman. I've got a payroll. I have a lot of responsibilities, and it's very important to me to sustain all of that and sustain my people.
People get to know someone, and they either hate you or they love you. You've got to start somewhere. I started with a picture.
I was in Kiwanis for many years. One day years and years ago, one of the members, who was a dermatologist, walked up to me. He looked at my forehead and said, 'You need to come and see me.' Basically, I had the beginnings of cancer up there, so he told me he never wanted to see me outside without a hat on. I thought, well, most people put baseball caps on and stuff, and I wasn't going to wear a fedora — that's pretty corny. So I went down to John Hellmer, who has a haberdashery and hat shop, looked around at what he had and picked this style. I thought, well, if I'm going to have to wear a hat, I better have something I like on.
His beard started as a lesson for his sons.
When we first moved up here [to Oregon], we were working with the boys in Redding [California]. One of the things about the boys, which was very difficult for their father to take, was the sloppy way they lived. Their clothes had holes in 'em, and they were not shaving and not getting haircuts. My father and I were sticklers on haircuts, so I thought their beards looked terrible. They didn't trim 'em or anything, so I thought, I'm going to grow a beard, and I did. I grew a nice, full beard in about three months, trimmed it really nice and then went down to Redding. I wanted to show the boys what a decent-looking beard looked like. I don't know whether I made my point or not; they're pretty much clean-shaven now. When I got back, I said, 'I'm going to go shave this crazy thing off.' And my wife didn't want me to, so I didn't. It just became part of my symbol.
I'm trying to feed whole grains to the world. It's good for 'em. It's not hurting anybody, I can tell you that.
I don't know how complicated or simple life is, but it really isn't very complicated.

Net Worth / Celebrities
Lindsay Lohan, Mike Tyson and Other Celebrities Who Are Not as Rich as You Think
Jan 31, 2022 10 min Read
By Dan Ketchum
For some celebrities, life isn't all Malibu real estate, Cadillacs and Hennessy. Plenty of Americans are drowning in debt, and just because your favorite actors and sports stars might make more money, that doesn't mean they are immune to debt. As it turns out, even the most famous folks can wind up burdened by debt, causing them to go from riches to rags.

Make Your Money Work Better for You
Mark Hamill Net Worth: $18 Million
A net worth of $18 million is nothing to sneeze at, but it seems like pennies when you realize Forbes reported that the "Star Wars" franchise is worth almost $10 billion to its owners at Disney. Hamill isn't enjoying a huge piece of that pie.
In his post-Jedi days, Hamill was a workhorse in the world of animation, famously voicing the Joker across multiple Batman TV series and video games for more than 20 years. Of course, now that Luke Skywalker is back on the silver screen, Hamill's assets are rising. Variety reported that Mark took home a low-seven-figure salary for 2015's "The Force Awakens" for a dialogue-free appearance. That figure was expected to rise for 2017's "The Last Jedi," and he's continued working on major movies including 2019's "Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker."
Moving On From Hollywood: Former Celebrities Who Have Normal Jobs Now
Danny Bonaduce Net Worth: $5 Million
Danny Bonaduce has documented his battle with drug addiction in the Amazon book appropriately titled "Random Acts of Badness: My Story." Best known for his role on "The Partridge Family," he is now thriving in his second career as one of the country's top celebrity radio disc jockeys. His on-air persona attracts listeners for its raw vulnerability.

Natasha Lyonne Net Worth: $5 Million
Natasha Lyonne began her career at the age of just 6 as one of the kids on "Pee-Wee's Playhouse." Like many child actors, growing up in Hollywood wasn't all it was cracked up to be. After starring in "American Pie" and "Slums of Beverly Hills," Lyonne admitted herself to a New York hospital in 2005 under a fake name and was treated for a number of conditions from heroin addiction to a collapsed lung and heart infection.
Since becoming a fan-favorite on the hit Netflix drama "Orange is the New Black," her career and finances are back on the up and up. She created the Netflix series "Russian Doll" along with Amy Poehler and Leslye Headland in 2019. She stars, produces and writes for the series as well. She also has directed episodes of "Shrill," "Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens" and "High Fidelity," as well as the 2020 Netflix special "Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine."
Chris Tucker Net Worth: $5 Million
The star of "Fifth Element" and "Rush Hour," Chris Tucker was once among the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, racking up paychecks of $25 million per picture. However, a string of financial crises — like foreclosing on his $6 million home in 2011, taking a feature film hiatus and settling a $2.5 million tax lien in 2014 — had a serious effect on his net worth.
Still, Tucker seems happy with being selective, even if he's not quite as rich as he used to be. As he told the Los Angeles Times in 2015, "I want to get better. I want to do something that excites me, that is different and fun." For this small-fortuned celebrity, at least, money truly isn't everything.

Sinbad Net Worth: $4 Million
In 1996, Sinbad was in "Homeward Bound II," but by 2013, he was working on a different sort of sequel — his second bankruptcy, following an initial one in 2009. At the time, TMZ reported a roster of debt, including $8.3 million owed to the IRS, $374,979 owed to American Express and $2.3 million owed to the California Franchise Tax Board. Since then, he has started to get back on track and most recently was seen as Milton in the show "Rel."
Amanda Bynes Net Worth: $3 Million
Amanda Bynes grew up in the spotlight, starring in the self-titled "The Amanda Show" on Nickelodeon before graduating to teen comedies like "Easy A" and "What a Girl Wants." After suffering a very public mental breakdown in 2013, the child star was placed under psychiatric hold and temporary conservatorship over her medical care and finances. However, we could be seeing Amanda Bynes in the spotlight again. In 2018, she said she wanted to return to acting.
Mike Tyson Net Worth: $10 Million
Now retired, Mike Tyson earned in excess of $300 million throughout his career as a boxer. Since the late '80s, though, Iron Mike has grappled with assault charges, jail time, drug problems, excessive spending and a 2003 bankruptcy. He once told CNN Money, "I didn't think I'd make it through my 30s."
So far, Mike has made it to 55 and — though his current net worth might be pale in comparison to his former fortune — he even managed to come out of bankruptcy alive. In 2020, Mike Tyson announced the creation of Mike Tyson's Legends, and the same year, he fought Roy Jones Jr. in the first event produced under Legends Only League. The event received largely positive reviews and was the highest selling Pay-Per-View event of 2020.

MC Hammer Net Worth: $2 Million
The 1990s truly were "Hammer time." Riding high on a fortune of over $25 million, Hammer had a 17-car garage, a swimming pool in the shape of his famous puffy genie pants and a staff of 200 he was paying about $6.2 million annually. So, how did Hammer's net worth shrink to a post-bankruptcy $2 million? The answer lies in one word: sustainability.
Kelly Rutherford Net Worth: $1 Million
Kelly Rutherford began her career in the soap opera world, bouncing between TV appearances. Best known for her roles in "Melrose Place" and "Gossip Girl," the actress has had a number of supporting roles both on the big screen and the TV screen.
She filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2013 after a brutal custody battle. A Monaco judge granted Rutherford's ex-husband full custody of their two children, Hermes and Helena, after she refused to return them following a summer vacation in the U.S. She fought for custody for seven years, racking up legal fees that reportedly totaled $1.5 million dollars.
Lindsay Lohan Net Worth: $1.5 Million
Drugs, alcohol and general debauchery don't always break the bank for famous celebrities. However, Lindsay Lohan is one star whose financials took a serious hit as a result of her partying. The "Mean Girls" actress' bank account was seized by the IRS in 2012, bringing her net worth to a mere $800,000. However, since then, Lindsay has returned to the spotlight, with new singles dropping in 2020 and a Christmas Netflix movie that's set to be released later in 2022.
Gary Busey Net Worth: $500,000
Known for his rampant drug use and unfiltered behavior on reality shows like "Celebrity Big Brother," Gary Busey has suffered his share of media mishaps. Still, the actor works regularly — he's been working on a number of projects in recent years, according to IMDB. Despite a career of over 50 years, Busey has suffered some serious financial issues. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012 and owed everyone from Wells Fargo to the UCLA Medical Center, leaving him with a net worth that's estimated at $500,000.
Major Earners: Celebrities Who Are Richer Than You Think
Janice Dickinson Net Worth: $500,000
It's not uncommon for actors and models to squander their fortunes. However, it's a sad day when the self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" — a woman who has been in the business for more than 40 years — sports a net worth of just a half-million dollars. Even after years of serving as a judge on "America's Next Top Model," Dickinson filed for bankruptcy in 2013, claiming that she had only $19,000 in assets and $1 million in liabilities, including $300,000 owed to City National Bank and $550,000 in back taxes.
Evander Holyfield Net Worth: $1 Million
During his 20-year boxing career, Evander Holyfield took home an Olympic bronze medal, WBA, WBC and IBF titles, plus the honor of World Heavyweight Champion an impressive four times. He also took home an estimated $230 million in prize money. However, thanks to some over-the-top spending and a few decades' worth of IRS issues, foreclosures and expensive mortgages, Holyfield lost his 54,000-square-foot Georgia mansion, his bronze medal and many of his other possessions, leaving him with a financial value of just $1 million — and the realization that nothing lasts forever.
Overspending: Dumbest Ways Floyd Mayweather and Other Athletes Have Wasted Millions
Dennis Rodman Net Worth: $500,000
Nowadays, rebound king Dennis Rodman is part of the $500,000 club, but that wasn't always the case. During the 1991-1992 season, he earned over $1 million; and at the peak of his basketball career with the Chicago Bulls, the athlete brought home almost nine times that amount, raking in nearly $27.4 million throughout his NBA career. Rodman's riches didn't last, however. In 2012, the athlete claimed he was too broke to pay the $800,000 he owed in child support.
Aaron Carter Net Worth: $400,000
Aaron Carter has made recent headlines for reasons including his sexuality and weight loss, but his $400,000 net worth is a whole other story. Speaking to the Huffington Post in 2016, Carter said that he had made more than $200 million by the time he was 18, but financial mistakes like buying ostentatious houses and neglecting to pay taxes cost him millions.
Still, Carter apparently isn't living life in the poor house. He told the Post, "I'm not broke. I mean, I don't make all the money in the world right now, but I'm doing the best that I can."

Heidi Montag Net Worth: $300,000
Although you might not expect reality stars to earn as much as A-listers, many of them do quite well for themselves. Forbes reports that "Real Housewives" star Bethenny Frankel, for instance, earned $8.5 million in 2016. But despite building up a big name in the reality world via appearances on "The Hills," "Famous Food," "Celebrity Big Brother" and other shows, Heidi Montag now sits on an estimated value of only $300,000.
Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, were once earning $2 million a year, but now have "nothing to show for what we'd done," as she told People in 2016. Since then, their finances have steadily improved, and they've returned to MTV as part of the rebooted series The Hills: New Beginnings that aired in 2019.
Randy Quaid Net Worth: -$1 Million
If you've seen "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "Days of Thunder" or "Independence Day," you might have a soft spot for Randy Quaid. However, the Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee has fallen on some hard (and weird) times over the years, often on the run from law enforcement for racking up unpaid hotel tabs of $10,000 apiece. Randy and his wife, Evi, claim that the root of their problem lies with the "Hollywood Star Whackers," a secret underground cult that defames or assassinates movie stars as means of embezzling their fortunes. Now that's a story worthy of a blockbuster.
Teresa Giudice Net Worth: $500,000
Another reality star who fell on hard times, the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star filed for bankruptcy in 2011. However, both she and her husband, Joe Giudice, were indicted in 2013 on 39 counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and a host of other charges.
As of February 2017, Giudice had paid off her $414,588 restitution related to her charges.

John has been a weekend resident of Noosa since 1985 and now lives here permanently. He's always had a love of jazz music and with his radio and television background it was an obvious move to join the ranks of NOOSA FM.
He's spent the past 44 years working in broadcast media, starting in radio with the Colour Radio Network through Queensland and 4BK and 4KQ in Brisbane. In 1980 he joined the Nine network taking on his best known role as weather man.
He moved to the Seven network in 2007 retiring from full time duties last year.
His program 'Noosa Jazz' covers a wide range of styles with most of the music sourced from the fifties through to the latest releases. Because jazz is such a diverse complex genre of music, John likes to keep it user friendly, hopefully bringing new listeners to the station.
I would like to visit, well, having the same name and all.
I would be grateful if you would kindly make an announcement on your next Noosa Jazz programme concerning our upcoming Supper Club at TRIOs Restaurant at the South Pacific Resort on 11th August.


Fancy bar, plain bar - all have hot café in little cups.
Paris:- Saturday, 13. December 1997:- Léon Librach is the name of one of the 1600 Jews sent from Bordeaux towards death while Maurice Papon was general secretary at the Prefecture of the Gironde between 1942 and 1944.
On Tuesday, Léon Librach was the first named victim in this two-month-old trial. Léon Librach was born on 31. May 1916 in Warsaw and he became a French citizen in 1939. Léon Librach was sent to Auschwitz on 18. September 1942 and he died there. These facts were stated to a silent courtroom by the President of the court, Mr. Castagnède.
Along the way from his home in the rue de Tlemcen in Bordeaux, Léon Librach passed through the Mérignac camp and through Drancy. Arrested by Nazi soldiers for trying to cross into occupied France, Léon Librach was held at Mérignac on 26. June 1942.
Maurice Papon ordered the transfer of Léon Librach to Drancy, in a letter to the commander of the Gendarmerie of Bordeaux.
A second letter was dated the 6. July 1942, which had both the official stamp and signature of Maurice Papon; and it ordered the transfer to be made on 8. July 1942. Papon also ordered that three places - there were two other Jews - to be reserved on the nine o'clock train for Paris.
A cousin of Léon Librach, Hersz Librach, 73, was in court on Wednesday. He said he had recently learned that he is the only one with the family name of Librach left in Europe. Hersz Librach evaded the big roundup of the Vel' d'Hiv in Paris in July and was taken in by the Resistance.
The father of Léon Librach, his brother, his mother; the father of Hersz Librach and his two brothers; they all were sent east.
And so the trial of Maurice Papon now continues; with names, dates, stamps, signatures, orders, documents - and Papon says he was a civil servant, doing his job; with the Nazis looking over his shoulders.
Another website of interest contains daily coverage of the trial by the Bordeaux paper, the Sud Ouest.
Once the world's most sought terrorist, Carlos, was let out of the Fresnes jail on Friday to go on trial in Paris on charges of murdering two counter-intelligence agents and their V-man who had lead them to Carlos.
Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, aka Carlos, was tricked into capture in the Sudan in 1994 and brought to France. This is apparently his first trial, but there will be others to follow as he has been charged with several Paris bombings and the bombings to two TGV trains as well as the Saint Charles station in Marseille. In all, he is believed to have caused the deaths of about 20 persons worldwide.
Last Monday the residents of Dugny, a town in Seine-Saint-Denis just north of Paris - beside the airport at Le Bourget - were told to get out of town while bomb disposal experts defused a 1000 pounder left over from WWII.
As a Luftwaffe base, Le Bourget was often a target of Allied bombers during 1943 and 1944. The town of Dugny was nearly totally destroyed in one raid on 16. August 1943.
After 8,000 local residents had been moved to safety, the bomb squad defused the bomb in 35 minutes. Apparently there was little risk involved - but if the bomb had gone off, its damage would have extended for at least a kilometre - all nearby windows would have been blown to bits.
Some time ago, a wild kid somewhere had the idea of venting frustration and rage by throwing a rock through the windshield of a passing bus.
For some unknown reason, this activity seems to have become a popular sport recently. Bus drivers are so unhappy with it, that there have been many strikes called lately, with some entire depots shut down. This has been happening all around France; not particularly in the Paris region.
Last year bus drivers throughout France suffered about two attacks a day and passengers, four. As the drivers have started to react, the attacks seemed to have increased. Now authorities are acting by placing police fficers on the buses of lines especially hard hit.

The Tories have lost control: Fight to put workers in charge
Details	Socialist Appeal
Nationalities and Borders Bill: A shameful attack on the oppressed Sarah Vedrovich	17 January 2022
Boris Johnson's latest announcement to the nation shows that the Tories have no plan for tackling the escalating epidemic. The labour movement must mobilise to oust this government of chaos, and to put workers in control.
"It all ends in tiers." So proclaimed the headline of the Daily Mirror this morning, commenting on the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday of a new system of local restrictions.
"After eight months of sacrifice," the paper's frontpage read, "[the] government still has no proper plan, no proper test and trace, and no proper support for workers".
The Mirror's assertion accurately summarises the mood in society. One snap poll by YouGov, for example, found that 64% agreed with the statement that "the government does not have a clear plan for tackling the coronavirus outbreak". Even 45% of Tory voters said the same.
Tomorrow's front page: It all ends in tiers #tomorrowspaperstodayhttps://t.co/jbpSoojBly pic.twitter.com/ArtbuU9B50
— Daily Mirror (@DailyMirror) October 12, 2020
Everywhere, fear and uncertainty reigns. On one side, with COVID cases and hospital admissions soaring, people are rightly afraid of losing their lives or their loved ones to the virus.
On the other side, with no strategy or support coming from the top, millions of workers face the almost equally terrifying prospect of losing their jobs.
This is the dire dilemma facing the working class: forced to choose between further lockdown measures to save their lives; or keeping the economy open to save livelihoods. In effect, it is the option of death by disease, or death by unemployment.
Bosses deciding
Of course, decisions are not being made by workers, but by the Tories – and, in reality, by the bosses.
Last night, in his latest address to the nation, Boris Johnson warned that tighter restrictions were necessary to avoid a greater catastrophe. "We need to act now," the PM stated, urging regional politicians to accept tougher measures, despite a lack of help from Westminster.
But such grandstanding is purely for show. For all his hand-wringing and faux-concern, Boris Johnson is ultimately taking his orders from the capitalists.
This was revealed yesterday by the release of official documents from SAGE, the government's group of scientific advisors, which showed that Tory ministers have actively ignored expert advice in relation to curbing a second wave.
Several weeks ago, at the time of Johnson's last major announcement, scientists were recommending a whole host of measures to subdue the spread of the virus. But these warnings were not heeded by the Prime Minister, who instead only brought in a 10pm curfew for pubs and restaurants.
SAGE told Government to lockdown on the 21st September. SAGE also said:-
• move to online learning;
• test & trace is having "marginal impact";
• pub curfews are having "marginal impact";
• a failure to act will have "catastrophic consequences".
Life or death consequences.
— Howard Beckett (@BeckettUnite) October 13, 2020
Amongst SAGE's suggestions was a call for all university courses to be moved to online teaching only. But again, these recommendations were spurned.
And now thousands of students are suffering the consequences – imprisoned in halls of residence due to the recklessness of the government and university management, who were only ever interested in ensuring that fees and rents were collected.
Worst of both worlds
This has been the repeated pattern of the pandemic, with Johnson and the Tories constantly lagging behind the curve.
Afraid of damaging profits, the government drags its feet in regards to introducing necessary measures. But in the end, as the death toll rises, they are reluctantly forced to step in – but always too little, too late.
The result is the worst of both worlds, with Britain facing both a spiralling public health crisis and a deep fall in GDP.
Tories torn
Boris Johnson's government is being torn apart as the Tory Cabinet attempts to look both ways at once.
On the one side, rebellious backbenchers reflect the pressures of big business. And they have a new champion in the form of the Thatcherite Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, who has made it clear that state support cannot continue indefinitely.
"I cannot save every job," the libertarian poster boy announced to Parliament, as he outlined plans to scale back the government's furlough scheme. In summary: mass unemployment looms.
Rishi Sunak confirms the government's furlough scheme will come to an end as planned at the end of October.
TheChancellor says people need to be in viable jobs. 'I cannot save every business. I cannot save every job. No Chancellor could.'https://t.co/dlOvgfjMP5 pic.twitter.com/vWKjcI4Z7L
— LBC (@LBC) September 24, 2020
On the other side, Johnson knows that his political future depends on keeping a handle on the epidemic. But even here, he and his health secretary, Matt Hancock, clearly have no plan.
The test-and-trace system – largely handed over to private profiteers and parasitic outsourcing companies – has been an abysmal failure. And many are understandably refusing to comply with orders to self-isolate, for the simple reason that they cannot afford to miss work and stay at home.
Losing control
The conflict between these two opposing aims has bounced the Prime Minister from pillar to post.
"Mr Johnson no longer looks like a man who really believes in what he is doing," stated the Financial Times recently. "He is losing control of the pandemic; he is losing control of the narrative; and he is losing control of his party."
"Forced into policies he hates, he is struggling to regain his political compass and is running scared — of mutinous MPs, of the right-wing press which has turned on him, and of his chancellor, Rishi Sunak, whose highly positive approval ratings among party members contrast with his own negative rating."
It is this tension that also leads to the government's contradictory messaging (eat out / stay in; go to the office / work from home), which only adds to the public's confusion and uncertainty.
And this, in turn, contributes to the growing – and understandable – feeling of tiredness and frustration in society, with ordinary people asking: when will this ever end?
Socialist alternative
We must be clear, however: the Sophie's Choice between our lives and our livelihoods is one of capitalism's making. It is only because of the profit system that these aims are in contradiction with one another.
On the basis of socialist planning, public ownership, and workers' control, there would be no such antagonism.
Instead, the necessary public health measures could be taken, without threatening incomes. Jobs could be protected, with necessary work shared out. And automation could be used to reduce working hours, without loss of pay.
Those who know best – workers themselves – would be in charge of implementing safety measures in workplaces. Such an approach would have avoided the disastrous reopening of schools and universities seen in recent weeks.
And the vulnerable could be protected, with a fully-funded, publicly-owned, and universally-available healthcare system, including proper social care for the elderly and disabled.
All of this is possible. But not under capitalism. And not under this government of chaos, which only cares about protecting the bosses' profits.
That is why we cannot trust the Tories with our lives. And it is why it is beholden on the leaders of the labour movement to come out fighting, and to mobilise workers in the struggle for a clear socialist alternative.


For me, the trickiest and most troubling aspect of ADHD is the self-loathing that inevitably arises from repeating the same mistakes over and over again, losing things over and over again, and feeling hopelessly incapable of succeeding at even the simplest of tasks… over and over again. Here is how I stopped screaming on the inside and learned to exhale.
The secret to combating ADHD peccadilloes, I have found, is to attack them one by one — and keep at them until they're fixed. For example, when setting the table, I remember napkins almost all the time now. I haven't locked the keys in the car for several years (though I must give some credit to the newer-model cars' little warning beeps). And I rarely leave the house anymore without looking over the checklist posted by the back door: phone, shopping list, coupons, umbrella, water bottle, lipstick on, turn out lights, lock doors.
Remembering to turn my phone ringer on and off at the appropriate times and places has proven more difficult, so I'm going to take a break and get back to that one later.
My current target for improvement: the rage — that blinding flash of white-hot fury (always directed towards self, thank goodness, or I'd probably be in prison) that comes after painfully stubbing a toe. Again. On the very same table leg. Or after realizing that I left my favorite pen behind after signing something. Again. Or starting to prepare a meal and finding that I neglected to buy one absolutely essential ingredient. Again. Even though it was right there on the shopping list.
I mastered the silent scream years ago, finding that shrieking aloud every time the rage hit was frightening my friends and family. This makes me better company, but still doesn't address the real issue.
Sadly, the real issue is self-loathing — the self-loathing that inevitably arises from repeating the same mistakes over and over again, from forgetting or losing things over and over again, from feeling hopelessly incapable of succeeding at even the simplest of tasks… over and over again. In calmer moments, I think we're all able to recognize that we actually do succeed at some things — lots of things, even — but in the grip of The Rage we are absolute failures at every aspect of life.
So here's my plan: I have accepted, or at least acknowledged, that the stupid/clumsy/careless/mindless/moronic goof-ups are going to continue. No amount of earnest effort is ever going to make them go away. And if I can't fix the fails, I have to fix my reaction to them.
In some situations, the storm passes as quickly as it arrives. Still not fun, but at least temporary, so I can live with these. The bad ones are the ones that grow — toxically going from, "Damn, I did it again," to "l always mess this up," to "I always mess up everything," to "I've never done anything right my whole life and don't deserve to live." These need stopping.
Deep breathing immediately shifts my focus, moving it from the afflicted toe (for example) to my breath. It works quickly to calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension, lower heart rate and blood pressure, and soothe stress and anxiety. It calms both body and mind, allowing me to think more clearly, and see that maybe losing that pen is not life destroying after all.
Keep a good memory of a big personal success in an accessible spot in your brain, to be brought out as needed.
(It's not always a bad thing.) No sour cream? I never liked beef stroganoff that much anyhow. Forgot to stop for the dry cleaning? It'll still be there tomorrow. Late fee for an unpaid bill? A few bucks won't break me.
Make a practical plan for a way to do better next time.
And the most important, though probably also most difficult… learn to forgive yourself. Our quirks, annoying as many of them are, are part of us. If we can't celebrate them (that would be way too much to expect), we can at least try to recognize them for what they are, deal with the fallout as required, and move on, with no ego-bashing allowed. Not easy, but worth the effort.
Now if only I could stop my otherwise amazingly tolerant and wonderful husband from continually reminding me that I left the closet light on. Again. Couldn't he just quietly turn it off? Please?

Ireland to open inquest into Indian abortion death
An inquest into the death of an Indian dentist after she suffered a miscarriage in an Irish hospital will begin tomorrow.
By Sarah Stack 06 April 2013 • 11:07pm

Savita Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to University Hospital Galway on October 21 last year and died a week later from suspected septicaemia, days after she lost her baby.
The 31-year-old's widower Praveen maintains the couple repeatedly requested a termination but were refused because the foetal heartbeat was present.
He says they were told Ireland "is a Catholic country".
The death of Mrs Halappanavar thrust the controversial issue of abortion in Ireland into the spotlight
His solicitor, Gerard O'Donnell, has said the widower was not satisfied with the conclusions of a report by the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Several expert witnesses are expected to give evidence during the inquest in Galway city, scheduled for one week, including the former master of the National Maternity Hospital Dr Peter Boylan.
More than 50 statements have been furnished by health chiefs and gardai for the coroner, Dr Ciaran MacLoughlin, who has promised the inquest will be transparent and open to public scrutiny.
Mr Halappanavar, a 34-year-old engineer at Boston Scientific in Galway, has so far refused to co-operate with separate investigations by the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) and the HSE's clinical review.
He previously said his late wife is giving him the strength to fight for the truth and that he will make a decision on whether to take the Irish Government to the European courts in pursuit of a public inquiry after the inquest.
Mr Halappanavar was said to be unsatisified with the draft findings of the HSE's clinical review, which was handed to him on Good Friday.
It revealed there was an over-emphasis on the need not to intervene while there was a foetal heartbeat and that staff failed to recognise and diagnose the life-threatening infection in time.
It also reportedly found confusion among medical teams on the interpretation of Irish law on abortion.
The HSE has apologised over the treatment given to Mrs Halappanavar.
The agency's review will be updated with inquiry chairman Professor Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran - head of obstetrics and gynaecology at St George's Hospital, University of London - to include Mr Halappanavar's concerns before it is brought before cabinet and published.
Elsewhere, an investigation by the health watchdog, Hiqa, is examining the safety, quality and standards of services provided by the HSE to patients, including pregnant women, at risk of clinical deterioration and as reflected in the care and treatment provided to Mrs Halappanavar.
The death of Mrs Halappanavar thrust the controversial issue of abortion in Ireland into the spotlight, with pro-choice and pro-life groups both staging intermittent demonstrations over the last few months.
The Government has committed to legislate and introduce regulations to allow abortion if there is a real and substantial risk to a woman's life, including the threat of suicide, by July.

Rory McIlroy finds form at last to win for third time at Quail Hollow
Neil Treacy @neil_treacy
Rory McIlroy has ended his 18-month wait for a PGA Tour victory, to win the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow.
A three-under par final round of 68 saw the four-time major winner overturn a two-shot deficit on the final day to win by one on 10 under par.
He had to survive a nervy final hole though, carrying a two-shot lead to the 18th before going wayward off the tee.
But despite that wobble, he was able to compose himself to make bogey and see out victory; his 19th on the PGA Tour, and first since winning the WGC HSBC Champions in November 2019.
The 32-year-old's form had spiraled in recent months, culminating in a missed cut at the Masters at Augusta last month.
Congratulations to the McIlroy's! pic.twitter.com/nApPJtz6Tl

However, working with a new coach Pete Cowen in recent weeks, and he says getting back into the winners circle is a huge relief.
"There's a relief that I've won again, relief that my season is sort of back on track, and more just satisfaction at the journey that I'm on and the process that I've been going through to try to get back to this point," said Rory McIlroy.
"There's been a lot of hard work, but I've put my head down and I haven't really looked too much in either direction, I've just tried to do what I need to do. For a couple of months there, all that hard work seemed like it was not really getting anywhere, wasn't providing me with much.
The victory will lift McIlroy from 15th in the world rankings - his lowest ranking since 2009 - back up into 7th place in the world.
It's also a timely showing of form, with McIlroy's victory coming just two weeks out from the USPGA Championship at Kiawah Island, where he won the tournament - his second major - in 2012.

Q: Why is my query returning multiple records even when I specify the proper join? I have 2 tables - Table A and Table B. The field names I am trying to link are RGID and GROUPID respectively. My query starts by finding the RGID in Table A, but then I want to use Table B to find the ResID associated with it. What type of join would I have to use in order to return only 1 ResID value per GROUPID value?
Table A
RGID
LN2300 Finite

Table B
GROUPID              ResID
LN2300 Finite         LN2300
LN2300 Finite         LN2300
LN2300 Finite         LN2300
LN2300 Finite         LN2300

CODE - this is what I've tried so far. It is important to note that in Table B there are 35 records of "LN2300 Finite", which is the same number of records I am getting when I use the code below.
SELECT dbo_jrtresourcegroup.job, dbo_jrtresourcegroup.suffix, dbo_jrtresourcegroup.rgid
FROM dbo_RESPLAN000 RIGHT JOIN dbo_jrtresourcegroup ON dbo_RESPLAN000.GROUPID = dbo_jrtresourcegroup.rgid
WHERE (((dbo_jrtresourcegroup.job)="N000001550") AND ((dbo_jrtresourcegroup.suffix)=20));

Pediatric liver transplantation has been a major success and is now an established therapeutic entity. The use of innovative surgical techniques has allowed the application of liver transplantation to even very young infants with excellent results. Selection criterion for adults is properly based on outcome measures. The major driving force for this has been the mismatch between the number of donor organs and potential recipients. While the same general principles apply to children there are notable differences. The success of liver splitting allows many children to benefit from liver transplantation with little net effect on the overall donor organ pool. Also in some circumstances a smaller probability of long-term success may be a very worthwhile outcome for some children and their families. The liver is the only solid organ that can regenerate itself. That means surgeons can transplant a small segment of a donor's liver (small enough to fit the baby or child), and the segment will grow as the child grows. Segmental transplants can use liver tissue from living or deceased donors.
The particularly high mortality in children awaiting liver and intestinal transplantation has been recognized by allocating this group a higher priority in the allocation sequence. Patients assessed for liver transplantation usually suffer from Chronic liver disease, Acute liver failure, Liver tumors and Metabolic liver disease with life-threatening extra-hepatic complications. Common symptoms that may indicate the need for further testing and possible transplant include: jaundice, ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdomen), bleeding episodes or poor growth pattern.
The ability of the child's family to comply with instructions and follow-up plans are relevant factors which must be considered in the transplant assessment process. However the aim of the process is to identify support required to enable successful transplantation. Children should not be disadvantaged by family factors beyond their control. Age is not itself a contraindication, but the outcome of transplantation in the neonatal period is inferior to transplantation later in childhood.
Long-term monitoring is important to assure the child's ongoing health. Outpatient medical visits and blood testing continue at a frequency that tapers over time, according to the child's condition and absence of complications or illnesses.

Police Fatally Shoot Murder Suspect in Montebello
By Beverly White and Patrick Healy	• Published August 18, 2017 • Updated on August 19, 2017 at 12:58 am
The man killed in an officer-involved shooting Friday in Montebello has been identified as the suspect wanted for the shooting of his estranged wife 12 days earlier, authorities said.
Christopher Michael Diaz, 26 had been named in the Aug. 6 shooting death of Roxann Acosta, 28, a mother of three, all under the age of 14, who was again expecting.
Family and friends of Acosta celebrated the shooting as a victory and saw it as justice for the victim.
"I could sleep at night now," her best friend Tiffany Noriega said. "I know it's justice for all of us, her mother, but especially for her kids."
Police and ATF agents had located Diaz Friday and kept him under surveillance until attempting to make a traffic stop in the parking lot of a market on Beverly Boulevard near Garfield Avenue, according to Lt. Derrick Alfred of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Alfred said Diaz was the passenger in a vehicle, and jumped out and ran into a residential neighborhood as the vehicle drove off.
Officers pursued Diaz more than two blocks, finally encountering him in the walkway between two houses in the west 2900 block of Via Corona.
"The suspect turned around, did point a gun and fired at least one round," Alfred said. "None of the officers were hit."
Officials said Diaz had two handguns on him when he died.
Authorities are still attempting to locate the suspect vehicle and talk to the woman who was driving.
"Justice was served, but it's not going to bring back my baby," Acosta's mother said. "I want my baby back."

    <para>The best way to design your cloud architecture is through creating and
      testing use cases. Planning for applications that support thousands of
      sessions per second, variable workloads, and complex, changing data,
      requires you to identify the key meters. Identifying these key meters,
      such as number of concurrent transactions per second, and size of
      database, makes it possible to build a method for testing your assumptions.</para>
    <para>Use a functional user scenario to develop test cases, and to measure

      </note>
    <para>Establishing these meters allows you to respond to changes quickly without

            approach works in certain situations, but there is a fundamental
            difference between clouds and traditional bare-metal-based
            environments, or even traditional virtualized environments.</para>
        <para>In traditional environments, with traditional enterprise

            They are lovingly crafted and cared for, the servers have
            names like Gandalf or Tardis, and if they get sick someone nurses
            them back to health. All of this is designed so that the application
            does not experience an outage.</para>
        <para>In cloud environments, servers are more like
            cattle. There are thousands of them, they get names like NY-1138-Q,
            and if they get sick, they get put down and a sysadmin installs
            another one. Traditional applications that are unprepared for this
            kind of environment may suffer outages, loss of data, or
            complete failure.</para>
        <para>There are other reasons to design applications with the cloud in mind.
            Some are defensive, such as the fact that because applications cannot be
            certain of exactly where or on what hardware they will be launched,
            they need to be flexible, or at least adaptable. Others are
            proactive. For example, one of the advantages of using the cloud is
            scalability. Applications need to be designed in such a way that

Limerick's Multi Culinary Award Winner Bangaly Doumbouya has added the gold medal from the prestigious Chef Ireland Competition to his growing list of accolades, all the while continuing as a second year Culinary Arts student at Limerick Institute of Technology.
A former asylum seeker from Guinea, West Africa, Mr Doumbouya first came to the mid west of Ireland in 2007. He spent five years in Knockalisheen Direct Provision Centre, Meelick, Co. Clare before he was granted refugee status.
Last week, the talented student chef beat off stiff competition from professional and student chefs from all over Ireland and was awarded the highest possible prize in the Asian Cuisine Competition by the World Association of Chefs Societies and the Panel of Chefs of Ireland.
Last month Bangaly also won third place at the KNORR Student Chef of the Year 2019.
"Bangaly is an outstanding student and to win this competition is a testament to his hard work and dedication here at LIT," he said.
Bangaly began his love affair with cooking and culinary art when he secured his first job in 2013 as a kitchen porter in the Castletroy Park Hotel. He then worked at Hampton's restaurant for a further two years.
When he then joined the team at the Shannon Springs Hotel, Executive Chef Anthony Walsh gave Bangaly the opportunity to be a Commis Chef. He immediately identified the new employee's huge potential.
Bangaly was successful in his application as a mature student to the Culinary Arts programme at LIT and hasn't looked back since.
Speaking about his application to LIT Bangaly said, "When I did the admissions interview at LIT I was asked what my first preference course was. I said "culinary art". Then I was asked what my second preference was. I said "culinary art". I was asked if I had a third preference, and I said "culinary art".
"Studying culinary arts at LIT and becoming a chef was all I ever dreamed of doing. I am so happy that I can study what I love at LIT, which has also given me the opportunity to complete a 3-month work placement at Dromoland Castle Hotel," he added.
Joe Mulcahy, Section Head Culinary & Hospitality at LIT's Sports, Leisure and Tourism Department said, "We are very proud of Bangaly at LIT and would like to congratulate him on both his awards. I have no doubt with his determination, hard work and skill we will be hearing a lot more about Bangaly during his time at LIT and in his future career.
