MAHS Deed of Gift
History of the Mackinaw Area Historical Society
By Lynn (Morand) Evans
(given at the Mackinaw Woman's Club)
Last year, Sandy Planisek, editor of the Mackinaw Journal and Marquee, attended a meeting of the Northern Michigan Historical Society, and decided that we should have something similar in Mackinaw City. She contacted people she thought might be interested, local historians, long-time residents, village and business leaders and representatives of local museums. We got together and talked about and decided to hold a formal public meeting to see if there was interest. There was, and on August 21, 1996, the Mackinaw Area Historical Society was officially incorporated.
Our official Mission Statement is; to promote the knowledge and appreciation of our local heritage, to foster and encourage the collection and preservation of historical materials, and to stimulate historical study and research of the area of Mackinaw City. We have defined the Mackinaw Area as Mackinaw City and surrounding communities to the south, including Carp lake, Bliss, Cecil Bay, Levering, & Freedom. Our primary time of period of interest is from the mid 1800's to the present.
The starting date is the arrival of Edgar Conkling and the railroads, precursors to modern day Mackinaw City.
Michilimackinac currently handles the colonial era, which ended in 1781 when that community had relocated to Mackinac Island.
In September we elected our board, Joann Leal, Nancy Campbell, Ruth Morse, Hugh Murray, R. J. Planisek. Gordon Sheldon, Ken Teysen, Larry Young & Myself. Any of these people would be happy to answer questions or receive comments about the Society.
We meet on the second Monday of every month at 7:30 in the Mackinaw Area Public Library. Our meetings are open to the public and we invite you to attend.
We are a membership organization, and I also invite & encourage anyone who is interested to join. An individual annual membership is $10, a family annual membership is $20; Business annual membership is $50 and a lifetime membership is $100. Dues can be sent to our PO Box 999.
A good deal of our time this year has been spent in getting defined and organized. We have had some interesting programs as well. Part of our October meeting was spent sharing stories of past Halloweens in Mackinaw City. In November, Bill Barrett, a native of Mackinaw City & great-grandson of George Stimpson, its first permanent settler, shared stories, documents & pictures from his families past. In January Tom Pfeiffleman, whose family has been in the straits area since 1902, did the same. Our February program will include stories from the railroads in Mackinaw City.
One of the Society's long-term goals is to have a museum, however this is a very long-range goals, because several factors need to be considered. It is not enough just to have space, although that is the first requirement. Environmental & security concerns need to be addressed anytime historical objects are involved. In the meantime we are focusing on historical knowledge instead of things. The main route we are using is oral history. Oral history is historical knowledge derived from interviewing people, rather than documents or artifacts. Usually it involves actual life experiences of the interviewee, but can also include stories passed down thru generations. An oral history can be either is an autobiography dealing with Subject's entire life, or it can be focused on a specific event, place, institution or person. Topics that are particularly relevant to the Mackinaw area include logging, the railroad, our maritime heritage (fishing, freighters, and ferries), the building of the bridge, the development of schools, churches and other cultural institutions, commercial development and tourism. We also interested in the impact of national and international events such as wars on our community.
Year round and summer residents, and village and township residents all will have a different perspective on these issues, and histories will be sought from all of these groups. Oral histories are a great way to begin collecting 20th century history, which covers two thirds of our currant period of interest. It can also lead to other types of collecting. For example, old photographs are often used in collecting oral history, and in illustrating a transcribed copy. Objects are often referred to as well and it is always useful to know who has old things. The historical society has begun collection oral histories by taping our programs and stories shared at our meetings. Sandy Planisek has conducted many interviews with long time residents in connection with her work with the Journal and Marquee.
The Mackinac State Parks are currently revitalizing their own history program, which largely took place o Mackinac Island in the 1920's. The two organizations are hoping to work together on the Mackinaw City project. They have currently submitted a foundation grant application, in conjunction with the school for a joint training workshop from the Michigan Oral history Association. Representatives from each group would be trained in the techniques of oral history and in how to train others. Combining forces with the school would allow us to tap the multi-generational strength of our community by encouraging youngsters to record family's histories. The park has also submitted a grant request for additional audio and video equipment to be used in the project.
~During the summer you may visit the village any day. For tours conducted by docents we are open [Memorial Day through Labor Day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. (when volunteers are available) The most common response we receive when visitors find out how short a time we have been in existence and when the Village started is"WOW"! We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished and our members' determination to move ahead. For more information on our buildings and attractions use our Audio Tour by phoning 231.486.0003 and keying in stops 201 - 213. We are continuing to add stops. ~
In partnership with the Village of Mackinaw City, the Mackinaw Area Historical Society is well underway in their development of Heritage Village. On approximately 143 acres of land just west of Mackinaw City, visitors can enjoy discovery trails, historic buildings, a covered pavilion, a restored log home, a sawmill and much more. Heritage Village's period is from 1880 through 1917, a time of unparalleled changes in lighting, transportation, communication, housing, health care and nearly every other aspect of Straits-area living. It also reflects an era from which a precious few buildings are still standing, and stories told by parents, grandparents and great grandparents abound.
The Mackinaw Area Historical Society offers lively local monthly programs featuring informative presentations on historically significant topics.
Heritage Village is located on Central Avenue
about 1.5 miles west of downtown Mackinaw City
@ 1425 West Central Avenue,
**Winter is here, come take a walk around the village grounds.**
We have nice easy marked walking trails.
**The sights and sounds of the season await you.**
Our board members have been planning the 2020 season, check back here or on our Facebook page for updates on activities and presentations.

We are a 501c3 organization.
The Mackinaw Area Historical Society (MAHS) began with a dream followed by a meeting on July 22, 1996, which was described in the minutes as "an informal meeting of people in Mackinaw City who are interested in starting a Historical Society." From that simple beginning, MAHS was born. The "Articles of Incorporation" were filed by August 21 of the same year. Shortly thereafter the Internal Revenue Service granted tax exempt status to the fledgling organization.
This determination and "get at it" attitude have been the hallmarks of MAHS in the ensuing 20 years.
In the first years of the 21st century, sitting on a porch overlooking the Straits of Mackinac, a few MAHS members and supporters had another dream: A Heritage Village where the history of the Straits area could come alive! In 2004, through the tireless efforts of officials from the Village of Mackinaw City, Emmet County and MAHS, a forty-three acre parcel of land previously owned by the McCormick Foundation and later by Emmet County was transferred to the Village of Mackinaw City for the express purpose of constructing Heritage Village as a partnership between Mackinaw City and MAHS.
The partnership decided that everything in the village - the buildings, the artifacts, the costumes, the history and stories - would strictly fall within the period between 1880 and 1917.
Our village now includes:
An 1880's one-room school from the community of Freedom, a few miles east of Mackinaw City
A Mackinaw City pest (pestilence) house from the same era as the school house
A Log Farmhouse built about 1883 by Christian Dettweiller, a farmer, carpenter, and Mennonite minister.
The sawmill that cut the logs for the locks at Sault Ste. Marie right after the turn of the century
A tarpaper work shack
A vintage base ball field (yes, it was two words back then)
An artifacts building
A community garden
A community pavilion
A General Store with a display of a rare 1922 White truck
A Nature Center
A Native Peoples presence
Modern outhouses
An 1897 church from Brutus, a machine shed, a replication of a prominent family's farm, the Stimpson Homestead, are on site and slated for completion in the near future. Educational programs are in place or are being developed to bring each to life.
Our most treasured objective is to educate children through exciting interpretation, participation, and enthusiastic retelling of the history of that time. In a typical year hundreds of school children visit Heritage Village. We invite teachers to bring their students to our Village to "really see what Great Grandma Smith meant about no lights, no cars, no planes, no telephones when she was a girl." High school and college students, home for the summer, fall in love with base ball using 1870's rules when gentlemenliness was the standard and an umpire could simply ask, "Were you safe or out?" and a "ballist' (player) would respond honestly, much to the delight of the "cranks" (fans).

Innovative uses of perforated metal in construction projects
Perforated metal is an incredibly broad category in terms of construction materials. With so many base materials and options for perforating, coating and adding borders, folds and notches, perforated metal can be a welcome addition to the aesthetics of a wide variety of structures while also offering practical benefits.
Perforated metal is most frequently thought of in the context of a facade for a building, helping to regulate temperature and exposure to sunlight. There are many different unique and impressive uses specifically in this application, but there are so many more potential applications to consider. This valuable, versatile material is equally at home within and outside of a variety of structures. It can emphasise aesthetics, practical benefits or an efficient combination of the two.
A look at some innovative uses of perforated metal can help you decide on how to best incorporate this design feature into your next project, whether it's designing a building from the ground up or adding key elements to an existing structure.
What do I need to know about perforated metal?
One of the key qualities of perforated metal is how easily it can be used to transform the visual appearance of part or all of a building. By creating a superstructure surrounding the more practical building underneath, perforated metal can solve a variety of design challenges that may otherwise require costly, time-consuming processes to achieve.
An incredible variety of shapes are possible with perforated metal, from rounded edges and sloping curves that evoke clouds and waves to sharp angles and flat surfaces that combine to create complex yet pleasing geometric designs. Whether limited to windows, applied to the front of a structure or surrounding much or all of the building,
Perforated metal also has a number of functional qualities that can be difficult to achieve with other materials, including:
Heat regulation: Perforated metal can, in many applications, limit the amount of sunlight that reaches the underlying structure or specific areas where this material is installed. That helps protect against excess heat, lowering cooling costs and maintaining a more stable temperature, and reduces the potential for the long-term affects of sun exposure.
Sound absorption: Excess noise can be a distraction or even a safety concern, depending on the setting. The right screen can effectively dampen these unwanted noises, as a research paper published by IOP Science explained.
Improved visibility: The perforations in metal make it easy for those within a structure to see outside while keeping their eyes shaded from the sun.
What are some innovative uses of perforated metal?
While no longer on the cutting edge of perforated metal applications, uses within a building – as opposed to as part of a facade or other exterior screen – have only begun to be tapped. There are a number of possible benefits to be had from a targeted installation within a structure. They can be installed along interior walls and below ceilings to help address issues with excessive noise as well as diffuse the sometimes harsh effects of lighting, as Metal Architecture explained.
There are a number of other uses to consider within a building, ranging from the purely aesthetic to offering increased privacy without completely walling off a space. They can also be deployed on skylights and some interior windows for a light filtering effect.
Imagery is another growing application when it comes to perforated metal. Along with the visual impression created by the perforations, form and structure of this material, there are also options for deploying graphics on perforated metal for increased individuality and a unique image.
Our own Pic Perf process uses a detailed approach to perforation that provides an end product with an array of visually distinct graphics. Options range from company logos and word marks to many abstract and more concrete designs. With a robust process for reproducing imagery, there are many avenues to explore.
Exterior corridors and walkway covers are another innovative application worth considering, especially in sunny, hot climates. With the right perforated metal, you can keep guests and staff members alike protected from direct sunlight as they travel between nearby buildings or within a large campus. Perforated metal can also serve as a privacy or security screen on the sides of walkways and corridors, paired with a full roof to protect workers and sensitive materials from the elements as well as prying eyes.
Finding the right partner for a perforated metal project is critical for realising success, from the design phase through the long-term stability and performance of the material. Get in touch with Locker Group today to learn how our wide range of materials and expertise in deploying them can help make your perforated metal vision a reality.

Sura ancient excavation site is 6 km away from the town ''Demre'' of Antalya. In the area, a series of sarcophagus tombs are noticed on the left before the descent ramp starts. This area on the hiking route called as ''Lykian road'' is an ancient area that is not easily recognized by the passing vehicles and has not been taken under protection. Some sources mention about the area as Sourai or Sura. The road from Andriake to Kaş passes through here in the opposite direction. In this case Soura remains to your left. Soura is a word in the Hellenic language, meaning Soura people. Sura lies between the ruins of Andriake in Myra and Çayağzı. The road to Kaş passes through the ancient city of Sura today.
The Temple of Apollo is in the deep valley to the west of the acropolis. The steps that have been carved into the rock indicate that they were reached by stairs from the acropolis. The temple is in the right side. The monk's prophecy area is at the foot of the acropolis. According to the rumor, the priests could make the prophecies, if the fish swallows the meat on skewers that are served by monks. In the sacred area, since the prophecies were done by looking at the fish, the temple was built on a swampy area on the edge of the water, although there were more suitable places on the acropolis. Behind the temple is the ruins of the Byzantine church, which is very dilapidated, and can be seen from the asphalt road to the valley.
There is not enough information about Soura's history. Ancient historians state that this place was one of Apollon's divination centers at 4th century B.C like other cities of the Lycian League. In some publications, although there are not any buildings to reflect the quality of the city in the area, Sura is accepted as a urban area and as a sanctuary.
The acropolis of the city covered a very small area and was surrounded by a thick wall. The fortification walls form a rectangular castle in the north.
In the south-east corner of the acropolis is a stele carved into the rocks, a statue base written in Lykya language and a list of priests reflecting the cult of Apollo Sorias. To the west of the acropolis there is the Apollon temple. Next to the temple there is a water source which is said to have beenused for prophecy. Behind the temple the ruins of a ruined Byzantine church which is dated to a period which is centuries after the Lycians can be seen.

The Spatial Scale of 'We'
Amy Lobben June 29, 2020 The Spatial Scale of 'We'2020-08-31T15:51:52-04:00 President's Column, Recent News
Every day around my town, I see signs of encouragement, most frequently — "We're All In This Together." That statement refers to the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting and assuming that we are all equally engaged in and affected by the pandemic. Similar messaging is delivered via emails, websites, and store speakers. Oregon's public campaign takes the messaging even further, reminding us that "It's up to you how many people live or die," staying home ensures that we "don't accidentally kill someone today."
This messaging is clearly not limited to Oregon. We're bombarded with fearful and dire characterizations of the force and magnitude of coronavirus. World leaders are asserting that coronavirus is "the worst public health crisis for a generation" (Boris Johnson), "we are at war" (Emmanuel Macron), or labeling themselves as "a wartime president" (Donald Trump).
At war? In his Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, President Barack Obama summarized the conditions under which war is justified: if it's a last resort, if force is proportional, and if civilians are spared from harm (i.e. collateral damage). He further reflected that throughout history, the notion of "just war" was rarely observed. Our world leaders are certainly invoking rhetoric of war to muster broad public support for their unprecedented actions in the fight against coronavirus. And, polls seem to show that we support these actions. Therefore, we are obliged to ask ourselves whether our actions are, in fact, just.
The World Health Organization collects and maintains statistics on pandemics, epidemics, endemics, and outbreaks. As only a few examples, in 2018 405,000 people died from malaria (out of 228 million known cases) and 1,500,000 people died from tuberculosis (from 10,000,000 known cases). The United Nations reports that 9,000,000 people die of hunger every year (out of over 820 million people who are chronically hungry). This already calls in question Boris Johnson's assertion that Covid-19 is "the worst public health crisis for a generation." But now include lockdown-related collateral damage and the UN predicts that the global coronavirus lockdowns will drive an additional 130 million people to the edge of starvation. The World Health Organization estimates that an additional 1.4 million people will die from tuberculosis as a direct result of the global lockdowns. The impact on other indices of health is dizzying, with surges in suicide, domestic violence, and mental health problems (the United States Centers for Disease Control reported in May that one-third of Americans are experiencing Generalized Anxiety Disorder, with rates higher for women, people of color, and people with less education). Factor-in unprecedented unemployment directly tied to coronavirus lockdowns that is surging across class, race, and gender lines, disproportionately affecting women, people with disabilities, and people of color. They bear the brunt of the crisis while we are protected in lockdown.
Apparently, this is what we accept as collateral damage in this war.
So, why doesn't the world respond in the same way to malaria, tuberculosis, or starvation as it does to COVID-19? The answer is quite simple. Coronavirus has the audacity to attack wealthy white people. It affects visible people, rich people, important people, even world leaders. Those other maladies are primarily relegated to poor people in poor nations. In response to "the worst public health crisis for a generation," these affected wealthy people adopted a large-scale extraordinary means in the "war" against coronavirus, while other maladies and the less privileged find funding and assistance dwindling. Lucica Ditiu, executive director of Stop TB Partnership succinctly summarizes the disparity.
"TB has been with us for thousands of years. For 100 years we've had only an infant vaccine and we have two or three potential vaccines in the pipeline. We look on in amazement at a disease that is 120 days old and it has 100 vaccine candidates in the pipeline. This is really fucked up."
Ditiu's statement illuminates the otherness in we. It illustrates the fluidity of how we define we. As a Geographer, I'm struck most by the sudden collapse of the social and spatial scale that defines the we in the rhetoric "we're all in this together." Shrinking the scale of we is demanded by our political leaders and supported by our society. But, usually, we lead very interdependent international-scale lives. Our political, economic, and social systems have created an international civilization that mandates the spatial scale of we to be global.
Or does it?
What happens when the we who are threatened are defined by ever-shrinking social and spatial scales of privilege? In the face of a pandemic, the admission to the world of we who can engage in lockdown is brutally strict. The more people we allow into our we, the less safe we are. It becomes necessary to expand the margins of "other" in our effort to define and protect the we.
We have been told that saving lives is more important than the economy. Whose lives? This new we defined by coronavirus is the very essence of privilege, including only those who have the choice to stay at home. And even among those with housing, it works only for those who remain employed and have a home that is uncrowded, safe, non-violent, clean, warm, and well stocked with food and potable water. Our we excludes any of those who cannot participate in the lockdown. This means that we accept a giant portion of the world's population being collateral damage in this war against coronavirus.
During Spring 2020, I have watched with distress at how easy it has been for the privileged to re-shape their we to a remarkably small spatial and social scale. I'm further horrified by the acceptance of collateral damage that has been caused by the systematic and intentional re-forming of that we. But, of course, the idea of we is fluid. It always has been. Throughout history, membership in we has been defined by spatial and social boundaries. Coronavirus has just created another boundary defining a we: those who benefit from lockdown and those who are collateral damage from lockdown.
We're all in this together?
No. We are not.

Ah, it's that wonderful time of year. The air is crisp, the leaves are ravishing shades of gold and red, and your Pinterest feed is flooded with extravagant autumnal wreaths you can only dream of making. Well, lucky for you, we have figured out how to make a Pinterest-worthy wreath in just a few simple steps.
Start with the longest stemmed faux foliage, and slip them in between the branches of the wreath. They should stay in place just by sticking them in, but if they don't, secure them in place with some florist wire. Place some of them pointing toward the top of the wreath and some pointing toward the bottom, leaving a space in between for the bow and pumpkin.
Add your shorter-stemmed silk flowers and foliage to the wreath in the same direction as the longer-stemmed pieces.
The bow we used came pre-tied and included a pipe cleaner on the back to attach to the wreath. Simply place the bow in between your flowers and foliage, and twist the pipe cleaner ends tightly together in the back of the wreath. If your bow doesn't have a pipe cleaner attached. Slip some florist wire through the knot in the center of the bow and secure it to the wreath in the same way.
Heat up your glue gun and place a thick line of hot glue on the bottom of the pumpkin. Place the pumpkin on the inner ring of the wreath just above the bow and press down to make sure the glue is touching the wreath. Hold the pumpkin in place until the glue dries (about 60 seconds).
And there you have it. Your gorgeous wreath is now ready to adorn your front door. So sit back, relax and wait for the compliments to roll in from Thanksgiving guests.

Lightfoot Poised to Claim Budget Victory, As Spending Plan Survives Final Committee Vote
Heather Cherone | November 19, 2020 3:38 pm
(David Mark / Pixabay)
The Chicago City Council is poised to approve Mayor Lori Lightfoot's $12.8 billion spending plan for 2021 after the plan advanced on Thursday with a 26-8 vote of the Budget and Government Operations Committee.
That vote, combined with Wednesday's endorsement from the City Council's Finance Committee, sets the stage for the full City Council to vote on the budget pinched by the coronavirus pandemic and rising pension bills on Monday, with a final vote before Thanksgiving.
The eight aldermen who voted against the property tax were: Marty Quinn (13th Ward); Matt O'Shea (19th Ward); Silvana Tabares (23rd Ward); Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35th Ward); Anthony Napolitano (41st Ward); Brendan Reilly (42nd Ward); Tom Tunney (44th Ward) and Debra Silverstein (50th Ward).
The 2021 budget, which closes a $1.2 billion shortfall caused in part by the coronavirus pandemic with a combination of tax hikes, debt refinancing and the elimination of vacant positions, needs at least 26 votes to pass.
A year ago, 11 aldermen voted against the 2020 budget, in an unprecedented show of defiance of the mayor that earned them a place of disapprobation on a website created by the mayor's political operation.
The number of objections is likely to double this year, with aldermen reluctant to approve a spending plan that includes a $93.9 million property tax hike, a 3-cent per gallon gas tax hike and a $1.7 billion debt refinancing plan that will return the city to the era of scoop and toss, a budget-stretching tactic reviled by fiscal watchdogs as a costly gimmick.
Lightfoot has consistently blamed the $799 million deficit in the 2020 budget and the $1.2 billion deficit in the 2021 plan on the economic collapse triggered by the coronavirus pandemic — and urged aldermen not to shy away from making the tough decisions she says are required.
To smooth the budget's rocky path through the City Council's committees, Lightfoot was forced to act more like an old school politician accustomed to wheeling and dealing in smoke-filled rooms than as a reformer, in keeping with the persona she cultivated first as a candidate for mayor and then from the fifth floor of City Hall.
After an outcry from aldermen and leaders of organized labor, Lightfoot axed plans to lay off 350 workers in March. In addition, only non-union employees that earn more than $100,000 will have to take a five-day furlough — rather than those earning more than $50,000.
Police brass won't have to take a furlough, after Budget Director Susie Park told Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th Ward) that would cause "operational difficulties."
Lightfoot also dropped plans to include protections for immigrants with the budget vote after objections arose from immigrant rights groups and the City Council's Latino Caucus.
The mayor also sweetened the budget with an additional $10 million for violence prevention programs, that Park said would be fueled with $5 million from tax revenue from the sales of cannabis and $5 million in federal relief funds.
Another $1 million will be earmarked to fund an effort to rethink how to respond to calls for help from those suffering from mental health crisis.
Those additional funds will add $500,000 to test a program in two police districts that will dispatch a team of social workers, police officers and paramedics in response to calls for help involving someone experiencing a mental health crisis. That pilot has a total budget of $1.8 million.
The remaining $500,000 will be used to test a program to respond to mental health calls without law enforcement agents. Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez (33rd Ward) has proposed reducing the Chicago Police Department's budget to send mental health professionals to respond for calls for help from those in distress.
But Ramirez-Rosa said that was "really insufficient," and said he would vote against the spending package in part because it lacked more money for affordable housing and those experiencing homelessness.
Lightfoot's budget proposal also includes a measure recognizing June 19, known as Juneteenth, as a "day of observance" to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.
Lightfoot's plan also survived a last-minute challenge to her push to use $111,000 to form a new City Council Committee on Immigrants, to be led by Ald. Ariel Reboyras (31st Ward.) Under former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Reboyras led the Public Safety Committee — but was ousted by Lightfoot, before agreeing to lead a special committee to encourage Chicagoans to respond to the census under Lightfoot.
After Ald. David Moore (18th Ward) objected to the committee's creation, Health and Human Relations Committee Chair Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th Ward) noted that he had received "no complaints" about his handling of immigration issues.
Sawyer and Lightfoot clashed in June after she objected to Sawyer's efforts to create a commission to consider reparations for descendants of enslaved people. Eventually, Sawyer agreed to create a subcommittee, rather than a full-fledged commission. That subcommittee has yet to meet.
However, Budget Committee Chair Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd) was able to resolve the dispute after about 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes negotiations.
"We have rowed this boat to nearly completion," Dowell said.

Q: why the "function-try" is not work in C++? Today I saw function-try in cppreference. When I wanted to use a test code to verify, I found that it can't catch exceptions; is there a problem with the way I use it?
#include <iostream>

[[noreturn]]
void foo(const std::string& str)
#ifdef _DEBUG
try
#endif
{
    str[-1];
}
#ifdef _DEBUG
catch (const std::exception& e)
{
    std::cout << "Exception : " << e.what() << std::endl
              << "In function : " << __FUNCSIG__ << std::endl
              << "With parameters : " << str << std::endl;
    throw;
}
#endif

int main(void)
{

    std::string str{ "heelo" };
    foo(str);

    return 0;
}

A: str[-1] will not throw. You can do str.at(-1) to throw an exception. If you do not use the results it might well be optimized away by the compiler. Do volatile auto val = str.at(-1);

Late summer is the time when the yang energies of spring and summer wind down to the yin energies of autumn and winter. The earth element lies at that pivot point, restoring harmony. As the mid-point, earth energy holds both the past and the future in the present moment and reminds us to hold onto what we enjoyed and look forward to more fulfilling times.
In Chinese medicine, the earth element is all about nourishment. Associated with the stomach and spleen meridians, earth energy can express itself through dietary habits, thought processes, self-worth, ability to support oneself, being overly nurturing to others, lacking ability to nurture oneself and more. Earth imbalance tends to produce a craving for sweets and its sound is that of singing.
In the Ayurvedic tradition, the earth element is associated with the ROOT CHAKRA which is about laying a strong foundation, creating safety and security within oneself and ones family and being involved in the community. Earth energy in the root chakra creates a firm base of support from which to spring, is calm, centered, rooted in tradition, sympathetic and loyal. An imbalance here would mean disturbance in all the chakras above because there is no firm foundation.
- When the need to solve other's problems leaves little time or energy to care for yourself and you become off-center, over-protective and lose boundary defense.
ALL EARTH formulas were created with the purpose of grounding energy, relieving stress and relaxing the body. The color is red to correspond to the root chakra.
Promotes relaxed surety, settles a restless mind and uplifts anxiety and depression. The tree oils enable one to feel supported and in charge. Strength is also good for acne and insomnia. Infused with snowflake obsidian for inner centering and support.
Warm and nurturing making one feel at home, STABILITY is comforting yet energizing for sluggishness and speeds metabolism. A good grounding oil that doesn't induce sleep. It is also good for wrinkles and arthritis pain. Charged with a jasper stone for nurturing and balance.
Suited for worry and over-thinking, insomnia, RLS, IBS anxiety and stress. With sedating mandarin and lavender oils combined with grounding oils such as vetiver and sandalwood, this blend can provide restful sleep. It is also useful for burns, wounds & wrinkles. Charged with snowflake obsidian for grounding and support.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it helps you better understand your body and how to relieve common symptoms naturally. Peace!

Recently I found an issue with BR (4S6P) batteries, one cell is not discharging. I charged the battery to 16.8V using BR battery charger. After charging I checked the battery voltage across the XT90 terminals, the voltage is 16.8V and individual cell voltages are cell no.(1) 4.2V cell no .(2) 4.2V no.(3) 4.2V cell no .(4) 4.2V. After that I discharged the battery with 2 methods.
discharged the battery using BR battery charger itself(using discharge option).
It seems your battery went through something bad. This usually happens when the battery is put under too much stress, such as completely or almost completely discharging it, or putting way too much current through it. What happens in these cases is that the internal resistance of the cells rises, some more than others.
This causes the battery to charge and discharge unevenly. Up to a point balancing chargers can deal with it, but in my experience these batteries gradually get worse until the charger is not able to balance them anymore.
You should take care when connecting batteries in parallel. They must be both healthy and at the same voltage levels. If they are not both at the same charge, as soon as you plug them together one will try to charge the other with a huge current (due to their low internal resistance) until their voltages match.
If they are not both healthy, one will discharge more than the other under load, and when you take the load off, they bad one will slowly charge the good one again, to get back to balance. Neither of these things are good for the batteries.
About your battery, I would check the internal resistance of the cells and discard this battery if they are not close to each other.


BILLION-dollar investment fund Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust has topped up its holdings on the Gold Coast by snaring two medical properties at Robina for $30 million.
The move is part of plans by Australia's largest healthcare property fund to create a major new health precinct in the suburb's commercial hub.
The latest deals bring the fund's total investment in Robina to $64 million, which includes construction of the new Robina Private Hospital due for completion in September.
The trust has acquired the Campus Alpha building at 2 Investigator Drive from Robina Group for $26.225 million and an adjacent 3164sqm site at 34 Investigator Drive for $3.77 million. It also owns a development site at Campus Crescent, bought in April for $3.92 million.
Chris Smith, head of healthcare property at Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust (HPT), says the fund has targeted Robina for its planned healthcare vision due to strong growth fundamentals for the broader Gold Coast region.
"The healthcare precinct at Robina, currently anchored by the Robina Hospital and Queensland Health's Robina Health Precinct, is a premium, emerging location on the Gold Coast for health-related investment," he says.
"Robina is a fast-growing suburb in the Gold Coast region of Queensland, with a population of more than 600,000.
"The close proximity of the soon to commence Primary Health Care medical centre, along with the site at 34 Investigator Drive and the Campus Alpha building, will provide flexibility to develop additional health related space and car parking to meet future demand for the services provided in the precinct."
Smith says Australian Unity is an active long-term investor in building and improving Australia's social infrastructure.
"As the demand for healthcare services increases in line with Australia's rapidly ageing population we have prioritised expanding, improving and upgrading the HPT's existing hospitals and medical centres to meet this demand."
Development plans for the new acquisitions have not been disclosed.
HPT is Australia's largest healthcare property fund, with a portfolio of 39 healthcare-related properties including hospitals, medical clinics, day surgeries, consulting rooms and specialist centres such as radiology and pathology.
The wholesale version of the HPT has returned investors 10 per cent per annum over the last 10 years, boosted by a 20 per cent return in FY16.

Q: new operator in a function C++ I am trying to define the size of *arr and allocate memory for it inside the function init_array. But it leads to segmentation fault. What am I doing wrong? How do I achieve this result?
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;
int init_array(int* arr)
{
    int n;
    cout<<"Number of elements? ";
    cin>>n;
    arr = new int[n];
    for(int j=0; j!= n; j++)
        arr[j] = j*j;
    return n;
}

int main()
{
    int *arr=nullptr;
    int n;
    n = init_array(arr);
    for(int i=0; i!=n; i++)
        cout<<*(arr+i);
}

A: The parameter arr is being passed by value, so assigning to it in the init_array() function doesn't update the variable in main(). You need to make it a reference parameter:
int init_array(int* &arr)

Sound Legal Advice From A Non Lawyer
How To Know If You Need An Injury Attorney
If you have been injured, and you believe that the injury is the result of negligence or wrongdoing, and not your own, you maybe want to contact an injury attorney. An injury attorney is a lawyer whose specialty is to represent individuals in court who have been injured because of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, or other organization. The injury can be physical or psychological in nature. An injury attorney is also referred to as a "trial lawyer" or sometimes as a "plaintiff lawyer". An injury attorney will represent you in court with the intention of getting a settlement from the proponent of your injury. The settlement is intended to compensate for the losses due to your injury such as medical expenses, loss of earnings, and legal costs. Hiring an injury attorney and going to court can also prevent similar injuries from happening to others in the future.
Some examples of situations in which you would almost definitely benefit from the help of an injury lawyer: a long-term or permanently disabling injury; a severe injury; medical malpractice; and toxic exposure. A long term or permanently disabling injury, from an accident caused by another person or party, could hinder you from being able to work. The degree to which an injury is severe will be determined by factors such as the amount of your medical bills, the type of injury you have sustained, and the length of time it takes for you to recover. Medical malpractice cases are complex, but you may be eligible for an injury attorney if you have suffered due to incompetent, careless, or unprofessional medical treatment by a medical professional. Toxic exposure cases are difficult to prove, because they depend on scientific data, but you might qualify for an injury attorney if you have become ill or injured as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals in the air, water, soil, food, or other products. Another situation in which an injury attorney can be helpful is if an insurance company refuses to pay.
The rates of an injury attorney will vary by the lawyer's rates and by your situation. Some factors that influence the fees are how much time is spent on a case, the outcome of a case, the difficulty of a case, the experience of the attorney, and the associated costs. The attorney might charge an hourly rate, a flat rate, or a contingency fee. A contingency fee is an amount agreed upon by the attorney and the customer that the customer pays if the attorney wins the case – about thirty percent of the settlement is average for a contingency fee.
If you feel that you have suffered injury because of someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, and you want compensation, it might be worth contacting an injury attorney for a consultation.

Chiropractic is about improving nerve function so that brain and body work together more effectively.
Chiropractic examines the function of the spine and especially the ability of the brain to connect with all areas of the body. When correct movement of the spine is lost the body's ability to function normally is decreased.
Chiropractic looks to restore segment spinal movement and improve the body's ability to adapt to stress, what ever form it may present. Posture, diet, general self awareness and daily habits are key areas that have been shown to affect the amount of stress placed on your spine. We aim to promote proactive lifestyle changes that reduce spinal stressors.
Wynyard Chiropractic Principal John de Voy was introduced to chiropractic care at the age of seven when he sustained multiple spinal injuries from a nasty accident. Hospitalised for his injuries for many months, John's rehabilitation was slow and release from hospital still unable to walk. His parents were told he would improve with time and offered no other solution, they sought out the help of a chiropractor. Through chiropractic care and determination, John regained the use of his legs and began his recovery. His own personal experience as a child has been a driving force for him to help others especially children.
At this point in time, high level research into chiropractic care for children is not available. As you can imagine the difficulties in conducting high level research on children presents huge ethical problems, so we rely on solid medical paediatric knowledge of the child's body and spine along with their specific health issues at every age. This knowledge is utilised to dramatically modified the care given to children to minimise risk in chiropractic care. "Children are not small adults", their bodies are still developing and therefore require thorough examination and knowledge of the child's body and spine so that their particular issue can be addressed.
John continues to study in the area of Paediatrics and completed a degree in Chiropractic Paediatrics in 2012.
He started practice in Gunnedah NSW and now after 34 years of practice loves going to work each day to help people live better lives in what ever way he can!
John's his qualifications include a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.), Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) and a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Paediatrics (DICCP).

Is Monday Really the Best Day to Take Off?
In one of the counselling residency courses that I took in my training, I recall one of the instructors commenting how in Canada, the highest suicide rate is during a sunny Monday. It's one of those little details that I never forgot, and have had much time to reflect on it. I have observed over the years that I receive many more counselling enquirers on a sunny Monday, compared to a cloudy Monday.
I also heard it said that more heart attacks happen between 8 and 9 am on Mondays than any other time of the week. The stress of the new week and individuals rushing to get to work can exacerbate the numbers. This latter fact tends to make a lot of sense when one considers rush hour stress. Yet, I've always wondered about what it was about sunny Mondays that would cause people to attempt suicide?
It would seem that a person feeling depressed on a cloudy day would find the weather to be agreeable with their "gloomy mood" (Gloomy is an interpretation and it would seem that cloud and rain has been given a bad rap by many people, yet it's only an interpretation from their own head. Liquid sunshine and the ability to see the silver lining in every cloud is maybe a better approach to weather. But I digress.) One can take a certain comfort from the weather reflecting their "feeling blue".
On the other hand, a sunny day is seen as being contrary to the depressed person feeling down and can possibly make someone feel like~ "…what's the problem? It's a bright, sunny day! Why is it that you feeling so blue?!" That thought can make a depressed person feel even worse. Therefore they may attempt suicide. Let's face it, Mondays are hard!
In light of the above information, I would like to challenge the members of the Clergy (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) all across Canada: Why do many of you choose Monday as your day off? As we've observed, Monday is the day that you are needed the most! It's true that some of the hardest work is done on a Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday and so Monday would seem to be the most natural for one recharging their batteries. Yet it seems that we are letting our faith communities down if we don't pay attention to these societal realities: our services are desperately needed on Monday.
Therefore, taking Tuesdays as a day off might make better overall sense. It's something worth considering.

In connection with the parenting of adult children, the need to build character and their willingness to accept responsibility is paramount as a life skill for older children, which should start when the children are young; as children earn items of interests and/or suffer the consequence when the child does a mediocre job or is defiant. These lessons are difficult for parents since parents do not want their children to suffer, but understand that life's decisions will result in the benefits and/or the consequences of those choices; and therefore; it is prudent to enact tough love-when their children needs disciplining and training. The lessons for adult children often involve higher end items such as cars, motorcycles, possibly rent, purchasing a house, and like items; and therefore the understanding of "Contracts" is vital.
14. to incur, as a liability or obligation:to contract a debt.
15. to settle or establish by agreement:to contract an alliance.
16. to assign (a job, work, project, etc.) by contract:The publisher contracted the artwork.
17. to enter into an agreement with:to contract a free-lancer to do the work.
18. to enter into (friendship, acquaintance, etc.).
Young adults, without fully developed brains and highly distorted thought processes, often feel entitled and that the parent owes them their free ride even when they are chronologically adult age. Therefore their acceptance of contracts is viewed as mere formality and that regardless of their choice to keep their half of the agreement or not; they will still get their item listed in the contract without consequences; other than the usual and expected parent's voice of concern or anger when the parent is saddled with the payments.
Parents must make it clear that should default occur on the child's end; then the consequences and losses that are strictly and clearly stipulated in the contract will prevail- due to the bad choice of the child. It also must be clear that-in case of purchase; then this is a business transaction and will be considered as such (as if this was not a child and parent relationship)-so that the child learns to be responsible for their signing of any contract.
Children are then responsible to read the contract and to acknowledge that they comprehend such consequences prior to agreeing to sign. Once signed, then both parties are subject to the terms of the contract. If the adult child defaults then the parent is liable to following through with the terms that result in loss of the item within the contract so that the child learns the important lesson that they are responsible for their choices; the good choices would have earned them their item-and the bad choices would earn them their consequences. If the parent fails in standing firm; then the parent reinforces irresponsible and dependency character of their adult child. If however the parent actually parents correctly-the parent must understand that the child is most likely to rebel and blame the parent for whatever the consequences that they experience due to their lack of character, distortions of thought, and defense mechanisms of denial. projection, misattribution of blame.
Parents must be aware that their child can be most vengeful, angry, and hurtful-and can use the only thing that they can control to hurt their parent-at this juncture-and be willing to accept that consequence while they stand firmly on trying to teach their child to be responsible adults. This may mean that the parent is disowned; that the child will trash their parent to others; that the child who may have children can withhold their children from their grandparents; and also the child can become aggressive towards the parent and other family members who may not agree with the adult child's false interpretation of their consequence of their wrongful choice to default. If parents back down and enable their child at this point of time-then the parent has reinforced their child's rebellion and irresponsible behavior. Therefore many parents chose not to enter into such an agreement due to the risks-and refuse to bail their children out of the consequences that they incur when they default with others instead (which still may lead to such rebellious aftermath if the child is of an entitled mindset and believes that the parent's role is to bail them out regardless of their behavior).
As I grew up and was provided a loan by my parents or grandparents; I knew one thing-that if I did not honor this contract or loan and repay it with interest as I promised-then I would no longer have this door of opportunity open again should I find myself in need of it. It was a time for me to prove myself as responsible and to find favor. My family were wise in how they rendered such lessons for me to grow. It first began with small amounts of money (300-500) and as I proved to be responsible-then they were willing to risk larger investments for me. With each success-my parents learned that they had nothing to fear since no matter the hardships that I was confronted with; even things that I had not accounted for; then I would make sure that my contract with them was taken care of-even if it meant I worked more hours or a second job.
Therefore, the benefits were plenty for us both who were in the contract. They received constant payments with interest for their family home and an apartment complex and the pride that their child was honorable-and I received self respect, competence, wisdom, and the products purchased. This disclosure only confirms that parents and children can enter into such contracts when both are understanding the terms and are willing to honor the contract. My parents had seen responsible behavior with less duties and agreements prior with each of their children and treated each transaction as a business; and we knew that they would hold each of us accountable prior to deciding to enter into any agreement with them. If we fail, then we would have the just consequences to endure. I believe that this is key.
Even with this absolute knowledge however; a child who believes that they are entitled and who is unable to take responsibility due to emotional immaturity and their cognitive immaturity-may still hear the warnings, read the conditions, enter into the agreement-then default and blame the parents for their consequence and the price of that can be most hurtful to both child and parent-as the child hurts with their delusional beliefs and the parent suffers the vengeful retaliation and loss of their family.
If or when the child or parent find themselves in pain over this or a like issue-and if either cannot forgive the other's perceived unfair behavior-then it is most advised to seek counseling with a professional to help both to come to a less distorted perception and a state of forgiveness. Only then can the family be restored. At this time, the less people who have been pulled into the conflict with possible false beliefs as to who is at fault-then the easier the transition. Fault is not the issue at this juncture since now we have a fractured and hurting family to heal. Others may then become a hindrance with healing if they are there with blame and harsh judgment towards the other; and it will need to be resolved with appropriate boundaries so that the outsiders will accept the decision of the need to forgive and to heal.
I am here to assist any family who is suffering with this issue. Call and make an appointment: 423-790-4906-speaking with our Office Manager, Steve.


Smallpox epidemics had already twice hit Native tribes of the Upper Missouri, including the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara before the epidemic of 1837. The epidemic of 1833 was spread through Fort Clark, a fur trading post built in 1823 near the junction of the Knife River and the Missouri River. Mandan, Arikara, Hidatsa, Yanktonai, Crow, and Assiniboine as well as other tribes would travel to Fort Clark to trade buffalo robes and furs for tobacco, guns, cloth, and other goods. During the summer of 1837 a steamboat called St. Peters traveled up the river with goods. Passengers were infected with smallpox and it spread among tribes in the area becoming one of the deadliest epidemics of the West, killing approximately 17,000 people across several tribes, including ninety percent of Mandan people, half of Arikara people, and at least 400 Yanktonai. Many people also committed suicide as a response to the despair that ensured from the epidemic.

This is basically the most perfect Chicago city guide I've ever read. Some crucial things left out, but this is, essentially, Chicago.
But, if you want to live it real, avoid Portillo's and find your own hole in the wall. To do this, first you look for a sign.
I have never wanted a creature to be a recurring character more. I want Clyde to always be nibbling some lettuce in the background of a scene, to be keeping papers from blowing away, to be perched on Sherlock's shoulder.


The LG G Watch is bigger than my Pebble, but mainly in width, it seems. It's much more square, whereas my original Pebble is more of a rectangle. It also doesn't have any buttons, which I found really disconcerting at first. The display is nice, unless you're outside, in which case it's useless. But we knew that.
The strap is complete garbage, but we knew that already as well. To be honest, though, I'd MUCH prefer a company bundle a cheap strap and give me the freedom to choose my own aftermarket strap, as opposed to including the cost of a higher quality strap in the cost of the watch.
Android Wear is essentially a beefed up Google Now, on your wrist. You get 'cards' in your 'stream' that coordinate to the notifications on your phone. The official Android Wear app has a blacklist feature that allows you to NOT receive notifications for specific apps on your watch, and has a few other basic options.
The most annoying thing that I've noticed thus far is that when you dismiss something on Android Wear, it also dismisses it on your phone. This is a great way to forget to respond to emails and text messages, at least for me, since I'm used to Pebble, where notification dismissals aren't synced.
Another interesting note is that, by default, you can't easily just call-up a specific app. You have to dig around in the settings, or use voice control and hope you remember the name of the app. There are some apps that I can't seem to call up on command, either. I did install a launcher, but there are still some things that I can't seem to initiate from the watch itself.
I'm still getting used to it – in fact, I get to travel this week, so I'll have a chance to try out some of the more out-of-the-box features, like hailing an Uber, checking in for my flight, etc. I'm interested to see how that fares.

One Response to "LG G Watch First Impressions"


Imagine being trapped or buried under a collapsed building for 24 hours, and the only lifeline is a cell phone which is about to die. The social media application is opened and a short call for help is sent hoping someone will see it and come to the rescue.
Seconds later, a Coast Guard Auxiliarist who monitors all distress content submitted via social media platforms from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, through a new media technology feed, sees the social media post and sends the message with a latitude and longitude to rescuers who race to the rescue.
Social media platforms, such as the Facebook application on a cell phone, are designed to reach a global audience by means of electronic communication using web-based technology.
Because of the monitoring tool created by Coast Guard Auxiliarist Ryan Bank, this form of user generated information, created and sent through Twitter, Facebook, text messages and other outlets, was received in America thereby helping search and rescue teams locate survivors in Port-au-Prince after the devastating earthquake January, 12, 2010. Social media may have never played a more important role than now in any major crisis in history.
Bank flew to Miami from Chicago and monitored the rapid flow of information content through a variety of new media tools and emerging technology. He was able to find content from people who were in distress in Haiti by monitoring and sorting their various posts. In turn, this information was passed to the Coast Guard and Department of Defense, enabling responders to locate people who needed help.
Sorting through the large amount of information, the search for finding someone in distress through the new media tools is similar to looking for your keys when you are late for work – big house, no time.
Social media has the characteristics of immediacy, accessibility, usability and combines them using mobile devices as a means of communicating information. This means that transmissions always reflect the current status of the world and enable anyone who sees the information to respond to an emergency. In the case of an emergency of unprecedented proportions, there is a lot of information to sort through.
Bank developed the concept of gathering information sent from Port-au-Prince via the Web and determined how the information could be used for search and rescue purposes.
Bank knew that the phone towers might not be working but based on his experience he knew data towers would likely be up first. This gave him the opportunity to scan through the social media content that was beginning to be transmitted.
By instinct, Bank set up a social media monitoring system and was able to find information to process and send to the DoD and Department of State. Essentially, it was a web crawler or a modern age emergency contact list for distress content that was sent to first-responder agencies.
"After the earthquake, we needed a way to communicate with survivors in Haiti – and I found that way," Bank wrote in an email to a Coast Guard captain, explaining what he had discovered.
Bank was betting that this would allow survivors to text message family as well as post on their social networks.
To get better information, a Distress Short Message System Short code number, 4636, was set up through the Department of State to allow those in Haiti to send in their distress messages via a text message. This number was then sent to every cell phone on the Haitian network.
After this process was established, Bank coordinated with several non-government organizations to help with translations and other services as he started to receive a live feed of the texts for help. These arrived at a rate of several per minute.
Bank and the volunteers worked continuously to track down each feed that stated someone was in distress, verified the information and passed it on to the command center. The person in distress may not know who to call in a major crisis situation. When people send the information through social media it expands the potential for people to be heard and rescued.
Bank and the volunteers and the Coast Guard District Seven's Joint Information Center monitored feeds and put as much useful information together as possible using all available sources of information including non-government organizations, publicly-available satellite imagery, contacts on the ground, and direct contact. The information was immediately forwarded to the Coast Guard District Seven command center and U.S. Agency for International Development Coordinators at U.S. Southern Command, as well as rescue dispatch teams in Port-au-Prince.
Bank's ultimate goal is to see this type of information processing implemented for every major response.
"The information process has never been used in this capacity before in saying that at the end of the day by using social media we may help save lives," Bank said.
As of Monday, Feb. 1, 2010, Bank and other volunteers who helped search through distress feeds have scanned more than 250,000 feeds, 14,700 a day, since the earthquake.
"The hardest part is seeing and talking to so many people pleading for help and feeling that you almost can't do enough," said Bank.
Bank owns and runs a new media company in Chicago and has worked with new technology in the social media arena for 10 years. He likes to take existing technologies and combine them to form new systems so they can be more effective. Professionally he works to develop new technology content with major brand companies, television producers and production companies. Bank volunteers in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the uniformed all-volunteer component of Team Coast Guard, and conducts public affairs for the Coast Guard with an emphasis in social media.
This is an awesome article pointing up both the value of new technology and of out-of-the-box thinking! May I reprint this article in our local flotilla newsletter?
We are CGAUX FLotilla 54 in District 7.
Feel free to reprint anything you like from the site.
Any way you could give Bank my contact information? I would like to be able to use this system in future disasters and would like to discuss this with him. Thanks and SEMPER PARATUS!
Bill, We don't have access to that information and, due to privacy rules, wouldn't be able to give it to you if we did. HOWEVER, I'm sure if you were to Google "Ryan Bank" it wouldn't be hard to find him since he owns a media company in Chicago.
What an awesome use of one's talent! We salute Auxiliarist Bank and his heroic efforts! Great article–thank you Petty Officer Shinn!
This is awesome. Okay to reprint in our Div. Newsletter?
Thank you for your service in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. You guys are a very important part of Team Coast Guard.

Lakers' LeBron James placed in NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, could miss several games
LeBron James, who has missed half the Lakers' games so far this season, is out again after landing in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was placed in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, the team announced, and missed Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.
While the Lakers did not say whether James tested positive for COVID-19, a person familiar with the situation said James will miss several games. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the situation.
James, who said at the team's media day in late September that he is vaccinated, could miss as many as 10 days per the league's health and safety protocols. James could return sooner if he returns at least two consecutive negative COVID tests collected at least 24 hours apart, per league guidelines.
James has missed 11 games thus far for the Lakers, who entered Tuesday in seventh place in the Western Conference with an 11-11 record. He missed two games with right ankle soreness, eight games with a strained stomach muscle and one game due to the first suspension of his 19-year career.
James returned from the one-game ban last week and posted three consecutive games with at least 30 points as Los Angeles went 2-1. The Lakers are 7-4 this season with James in the lineup. They are 4-7 without him and face the Kings, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies over the next 10 days.
