T-Sisters Keep It Chthonic
An Oakland-based folk trio clings to its anachronistic sensibility.
by Rachel Swan
Jamie Soja The T-Sisters: Chloe, Erika, and Rachel.
T-Sisters perform Friday, Jan. 21 at an undisclosed location. 8 p.m., $10. ChthonicTheater.com.
Nature doesn't bless all siblings with the ability to harmonize, but it does provide genetically similar vocal chords. Thus, brothers and sisters often sing best with each other: The Jackson 5, The Hawkins Family, The Neville Brothers, The Andrews Sisters, DeBarge, the Marley dynasty, and Los Lonely Boys constitute only a partial list of celebrated music groups whose members spawned from the same womb. Oakland's own T-Sisters could be the latest addition to the pantheon.
Rachel, Chloe, and Erika Tietjen grew up in Berkeley and Piedmont, and currently live together in a roomy East Oakland warehouse. The three sisters have always collaborated on projects, from the dress-up plays they mounted in their grandmother's attic, to the two musicals they co-produced, to their current series of variety shows. Now they also perform as a vocal trio, singing in an old Appalachian style that had its revival about ten years ago with the Coen Brothers' movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?
They demonstrated last Wednesday night, sitting on a couch in their living room. Erika counted off unobtrusively. Mother of all, all over us/We are a bundle, confused, and disgruntled, the sisters sang, using close Appalachian harmonies. They slurred the two "alls" to make them sound like one sustained note. At times they switched parts, with Chloe shifting from high to low and Rachel going from low to high. Most listeners won't notice, Erika said. "A lot of people can't necessarily tell our voices apart, but they hear that something weird is going on." The effect is warm and woolly. Chloe, who wrote the song, says that the "Mother" of the first line is a metaphorical term. "Kind of getting people to remember things like —
"Like roots," Erika piped in.
"Like roots," Chloe echoed.
The T-Sisters usually sing a cappella, though they'll occasionally add a dulcimer or a guitar. Their harmonies are small and simple — usually hovering on a third or fourth interval. But there isn't a slack moment. The T-Sisters eschew modern adornments, and try instead to be as ascetic as possible. It's a sound that's become increasingly popular in the local music scene.
"I think we learned that style through — oh, the zeitgeist," she said, sitting with Chloe and Erika at their kitchen table. "More people are listening to that kind of music." She added that the three of them grew up listening to folk music, popular R&B, and so-called "jock jams," since their mother was an aerobics instructor at the Oakland YMCA. They weren't aware of the Appalachian stuff until it came back in style.
And the T-Sisters continue to get more old-fashioned over time. They own a sewing machine and a record player. Their cupboards contain jars of dried beans, tea leaves, and spices. Even their television has a cloth draped over its screen, as though to hide the ugly face of technology. They seem to dwell outside of modern society. And they seem to like it that way. Not for nothing do the Tietjens call their operation "Chthonic Theater" — meaning a theater that exists in the underworld.
"Cthonic deities in Greek mythology were the opposing deities to the Olympians," Chloe explained. "So they're a lot more feminine, and closer to the earth."
True to its name, Chthonic Theater is its own self-contained purgatory. It exists only for people in the know. The Tietjen sisters use the term to describe all of their artistic enterprises — including their 2005 musical, A Murmured Tale, and current production Ship of Fools. But mostly it refers to a variety show that they produce in their warehouse. Modeled after 19th-century vaudeville, it features sketch comedy, puppetry, magic, interpretive dance, and a house band at the end of the night.
The theater itself is the basement of their warehouse apartment, which lies in an industrial zone near the 880 freeway. It was just a building shell with an open floor plan when the sisters moved in two years ago, but they've turned it into the kind of netherworld that suits their sensibility: Potted ficus plants line the walls. The lamps are decorated with statuettes and a bust of Saint Peter. The place is both an anachronism and an odd paradise.
The whole point was to have sole curatorial power and not be constrained by an outside mediator or venue, Rachel said. And it seems to work. Home theater venues are enjoying a resurgence in the Bay Area for exactly those reasons. "We were more interested in curating our own production and creating an environment for sharing where everyone benefits," Rachel wrote in a recent e-mail. Moreover, she added, "it's a way to bring creative people into our lives, which comes in handy when we are putting on a larger production like one of our musicals."
Running a home venue can be taxing, particularly at the level that the T-Sisters are doing it. They only publicize via newsletter, Facebook, and word-of-mouth, but the word gets around fast enough to draw one hundred people to each show.
It helps that the T-Sisters are extremely close-knit. Twenty-four-year-old Rachel and Chloe are identical twins. Erika is 26, and says she behaved like a typical older sister for much of the girls' childhood. They sang together as kids, and Erika would conduct. The three of them attended Piedmont High School, sang in the a cappella choir, and hung out in roughly the same circle. They attended separate colleges but continued performing together. Generally, the three of them handle different aspects of the artistic process. Rachel, the artist, does costumes and set design. Chloe, the literature buff, writes scripts and song lyrics. Erika, the self-proclaimed "harmony tyrant," writes arrangements and leads songs.
The T-Sisters will inevitably get bigger, even if they remain cloistered in a warehouse performance space. They're playing more gigs around town and recording an album with Mike Marshall. With attendance rising, they make ultimately have to move the variety shows to a legit venue. For now, though, they like having a cottage industry. "There's something about the cabaret, I guess," Erika said.
"It's a great networking place, too," Chloe added. "Like performers will approach each other after the show and say, 'Hey, I'd love to play drums with you.' Or, like, 'Hey, do you want to perform at this thing?'"
"Or, like, 'Hey — you wanna go out on a date?'" Erika said.
At least it's more chthonic that way.

The UK is compelling its athletes to sign a gag order before competing in the Beijing Olympics. If true, this is intolerable. No one, especially not a citizen of a supposed liberal democracy, should be compelled to hold his tongue if he has strong opinions on political matters. And for the record, count me among those who would like to see the Beijing Olympics turned into a political arena, an instrument for shining some shame upon China for its vetoing of military action in Darfur.

When people come to the decision to install timber flooring, they often face the problem of not being able to find a guide that can teach them how to do it. This common predicament is what inspired us to write a detailed guide on how to install oak timber flooring.
This guide is organized in the most effective and helpful way possible. We hope that your do-it-yourself experience is very rewarding, satisfying, memorable and worth-while like it has been for us.
Despite the ever-increasing selection of hardwood flooring materials available, oak continues to be a popular choice. It is one of the most abundant domestic hardwoods, and whether or not you stain it, oak blends well with a variety of decor motifs.
Wood is a natural material that is affected by temperature and moisture, and it will swell and shrink accordingly. Load your oak flooring into the room you want to install it in and let it "acclimatize" in that room for a few days.
Whether or not you use an underlayment is a personal preference, but most professionals will recommend it. Felt paper, tar paper and rosin paper are standard underlayment for oak flooring. These help protect the flooring from moisture that may migrate upward from the area below the subfloor, and they help to prevent squeaking.
Wood filler is simply inserted into the holes made by nail heads. Once the wood filler dries, you will lightly sand it with finish-grit sandpaper until it matches the surrounding area.
Install the rest of the boards by blind-nailing them — which means to nail them through their tongues — with 2-inch flooring cleats. Use a pneumatic flooring nailer or a nail gun to drive the nails.
Complete the project. Continue to cut and lay the planks as described above. Lay each subsequent row of planking tight against the previous row. Every few row, go back and look for weak spots or areas where the floor seems to bubble up this could indicate a missing nail or crooked installation. Once your floor is finished it will be hard to fix these areas, so try to get it right the first time.
If you need more information about oak flooring installation, please refer to Grand Oak's Installation Instructions.

Nine Confusing Foods: the facts about gluten, coffee, more
Is it okay to eat canned tuna or drink coffee? Should everyone run screaming from gluten? There's lots of confusion in the food world these days—and lots of conflicting answers and opinions. If your food choices have in you a pickle, you need straightforward facts and advice. Here, we examine the 9 most confusing foods, and the bottom line on each.
1. Gluten. Ever since books like Wheat Belly and South Beach Diet Gluten Solution hit the market, gluten has become the hapless scapegoat of the food world. For people who have problems with gluten, it's with good reason: a sensitivity to gluten from wheat, rye and barley can cause everything from headaches to dramatic digestive issues. But what about those who tolerate gluten? Should they still be cautious, even in the absence of symptoms?
The bottom line: If you suffer from gluten sensitivity, you should avoid it in all forms. If you tolerate gluten just fine, it's still wise to proceed with caution. Modern wheat and other forms of gluten are different from what our ancestors ate, and the advent of packaged and processed foods means gluten is more prevalent than ever in our food supply. To avoid developing gluten sensitivity in the future, vary your grain sources, favor gluten-free grains like brown rice or quinoa, and minimize processed foods.
2. Coffee. Our favorite hot beverage has been blamed for everything from heartburn and headaches to adrenal burnout; caffeinated coffee is a powerful central nervous system stimulant that can disrupt sleep, increase stress, and upset cortisol balance. Even decaf coffee is highly acidic and can cause gastric distress and acid/alkaline imbalances in the body. At the same time, coffee contains many antioxidants, and studies show it actually protects the liver. Drinking coffee also protects against Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's, and both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee reduce the risk of diabetes and increase lifespan.
The bottom line: If you tolerate caffeine, sleep like a baby and don't have a problem with stomach upset, there's no reason to avoid coffee. But because caffeine is highly addictive, most people increase their consumption over time—so try to keep your caffeine intake to less than 200 mg a day, about the amount in a large, strong-brewed coffee. If you're just fine with caffeine but have a sensitive stomach, try switching to black tea; it's even higher in antioxidants than coffee, and creates a less acid environment in the body.
3. Seafood. It's high in protein, low in fat, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and studies link seafood consumption to decreased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. But today's fish has some serious problems. If it came from the ocean, it's probably contaminated with mercury. If it came from a farm, it's likely laced with pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), manmade chemicals that are linked with behavioral problems in children, neurotoxicity and possibly cancer. Canned tuna, salmon and other fish may also contain bisphenol-A (BPA), a dangerous endocrine-disrupting chemical, from the can's lining.
And while many studies suggest the benefits of eating seafood—including reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases—outweigh the risk of exposure to mercury and other toxins, there's also the problem of overfishing and pollution; estimates say if trends continue, we'll run out of wild caught fish in less than 35 years.
The bottom line: Eating fish once a week is probably reasonable, with caveats: avoid large, predator fish like tuna and swordfish to minimize mercury exposure, and skip the skin, since it's a main storage area for toxins. In terms of environmental impact, farmed fish reduces the risk of depleting wild populations, but carries serious environmental concerns of its own. Before you buy, visit the Environmental Defense Fund's Seafood Selector page (edf.org) for safe seafood updates.
4. Agave. Once the golden child of the alternative sweetener world, agave's reputation has been tarnished of late. It's low on the glycemic index but high in fructose, which has been associated with weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes. Additionally, excess fructose consumption has been linked with with an increased risk of fatty liver disease; unlike other sugars, fructose is metabolized by the liver. Over time, this can lead to fatty deposits in the liver. And because agave is converted into triglycerides, it can increase the risk of heart disease.
The bottom line: agave's not the worst thing you can eat, but it's not a health food. If you eat processed foods, check labels; many "natural" snacks and raw packaged foods are heavily sweetened with it. And while an occasional squirt of agave in your tea won't hurt you, less-processed sweeteners like honey, or lower-glycemic ones like coconut sugar, are better alternatives. Or consider stevia; it's backed by dozens of studies and thousands of years of historic use, doesn't upset blood sugar, and may even balance glucose levels.
5. Soy. So many aspersions have been cast on this once-healthy food, that it's hard to tell what to believe. The pros: soy is high in protein and fiber, low in fat, and contains phytoestrogens that, according to some studies, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer. The cons: most soy grown in the United States is contaminated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the phytoestrogens in soy can also stimulate the growth of certain kinds of cancer. It's hard to digest, and many people are either sensitive or downright allergic to it.
The bottom line: a little organic soy won't hurt you, unless you're allergic or sensitive to it, but it's best eaten in fermented forms (tempeh, miso, tamari) or whole (edamame). Avoid highly processed soy foods like soy milk, soy cheese and isolated soy protein in drinks and bars.
6. Meat. Unless your'e vegan, you've probably struggled with the question of how much meat to eat. Lean meat is high in protein, essential nutrients and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that protects against caner and obesity; popular Paleo diets say its essential to athletic performance and longevity and promote heavy consumption, as much as 1 or 2 pounds a day. But years of studies consistently show that the longest-living populations eat less meat, not more, and we know the risks of saturated fat and added hormones and antibiotics in conventional meat. And from an environmental standpoint, a diet high in meat just isn't sustainable.
The bottom line: If you do eat meat, always choose organic and grass-fed or pastured varieties; they're free of antibiotics, added hormones, nitrates and other harmful additives. Grass-fed meat is lower in saturated fat and calories than grain-fed varieties, and has higher levels of CLA and omega-3 fats. Eat meat in small amounts—2 to 4 ounces—and no more than once a day for most people. And avoid frying, grilling or overcooking it, to lessen the formation of carcinogenic compounds.
7. Peanuts. For those of us who adore peanut butter, recent controversies are troubling indeed. Peanuts are high in protein and rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but they're a common allergen and are heavily sprayed with pesticides. Even organic peanuts have their problems; they're susceptible to aspergillus, an invisible mold that produces highly carcinogenic compounds called aflatoxins. Because organic peanuts aren't sprayed with fungicides, they're even more likely to have aflatoxins than conventional varieties.
The bottom line: If you do eat peanuts, buy them from a store that has a high bulk bin turnover (aflatoxins develop mainly during storage) or buy vacuum-packed varieties, to lessen the amount of exposure the nuts have had to air. Some peanut butters test their products for toxins; Once Again Nut Butter tests each batch for both aflatoxins and salmonella.
8. Nightshades. Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, goji berries, belladonna and pansies are members of the solanaceae family. Known as nightshades, some of them are high in a compound called solanine that can aggravate inflammation in sensitive people—generally, those with arthritis, gout and other joint problems. It's also said that nightshades can aggravate everything from migraines to multiple sclerosis. But while solanine is irritating to sensitive people, not all nightshades contain appreciable amounts; it's most prevalent in potatoes with green areas, unripe tomatoes and green bell peppers. (Sweet potatoes are from an entirely different family, and have no solanine.) And because some of the healthiest foods (like tomatoes and red peppers) are considered nightshades, it's hard to justify eliminating them from most diets.
The bottom line: If you have arthritis, joint pain or a chronic inflammatory condition, try cutting nightshades out of your diet for a week to ten days, and assess how you feel. If your symptoms improve, you may be sensitive to solanine. If you don't suffer from any of these, you can probably eat tomatoes, peppers and other nightshades freely; just be cautious with white potatoes.

No subtitles. The adventures of a construction worker who is alternately befriended and harassed by a ghost, and who is initially pursued by an assassin from another time or place (a la The Terminator). The title forms a key part of the story, in that the word "Welcome" is translated phonetically into Cantonese, and is pronounced "Wai Lo Kam", a word which is repeatedly chanted.


Monday, February 11, 2019, the last of the three days grace to those who have not collected their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) still with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to do so, many eligible voters have like in the last two days thronged Commission's offices throughout the nation to do so. Yet, six days to the Presidential poll many are still unable to get them.
Have they been disenfranchised? Will the electoral body still do something quickly to allow them exercise their constitutional right to vote? Have their efforts at being obedient and patriotic citizens been in vain?
Speaking on the issue, part of the statement issued by INEC read: "The Commission wishes to reassure Nigerians that we will continue to take every necessary step to ensure that no registered voter is disenfranchised on account of non-collection of PVCs.
What about those whose PVCs fell in the category of those not printed? What about those whose cards were burnt in the mysterious fire that recently gutted some INEC offices in Abia and Plateau states?
" We have already become 'Aaron's'. We have already become losers. From the way things are going, and from the questionable efficiency and effectiveness of INEC, coupled with the collusion and corruption of its officers, I don't see an INEC that will do the miraculous to make sure that we the unfortunate Nigerians are not disenfranchised.
" One thing I know, if we do not get our PVCs today, the truth will not be far from the fact that they have either sold our cards to the gladiators or purposely decided to help their candidate by not printing them," Abu James, an angry qualified voter who claimed he registered in 2017, and has been over six times to INEC office from November 2018 to collect his PVC without success said.
A frustrated Surulere-Lagos resident, John Onwudiwe with registration number PU: 24/20/12/017 described this issue as a calculated attempt by INEC to bar many Nigerians from voting in the 2019 elections.
"Since January, I have been here up to five times. INEC kept telling me they have not brought the PVCs, asking me to come back. With the deadline, the reality is that I and my wife, like millions of Nigerians, will not vote since they have said they will take away the uncollected cards until after the elections".
The Magazine learnt that the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, while receiving his PVC, 24 hours after issuing a statement and warning INEC not to disenfranchise him and his family last Thursday, had urged the Commission to do all with them not to disenfranchise eligible Nigerians.
Delivering the PVC to Adams at his Omole Phase II residence, in Ikeja, Lagos, Mrs. Grace Asemoloye, INEC officer expressed regret at the delay. What becomes the fate of those who are no Aare Ona Kakanfo's?
On the fate of the eligible voters whose 2,979 in Isiala-Ngwa South, Abia state whose PVCs were destroyed when fire gutted the INEC office, and the 5, 987 PVCs in Plateau state, the commission said it would be determined after investigation reports. It is now six days to the election, and there is neither investigation report nor decision on their plight. Is there hope for them not to be disenfranchised?
Speaking on this, INEC said: "In view of these developments, the Commission has taken the following steps: Notified the Inspector General of Police of this new trend and requested that additional security measures be provided to enhance security around INEC Offices and other critical structures of the Commission.
which translates to just 42 percent of Nigeria's population that currently stands at 198 million.
The number is 15.17 million more than the 68, 833, 476 Nigerians who voted in the 2015 general election.
The South-south has 12,841,279 registered voters, representing 15.29 percent of the total number of registered voters.
The North-central has 13,366,070 voters, representing 15.91 percent; South-east has 10,057,130 registered voters, representing 11.91 percent, and South-west 16,292,212, representing 19.39 percent of the total number of voters.
The North-west has 20,158,100 voters, representing 24 percent while the North-east has 11,289, 293 representing 13.44 percent of the total registered voters.

Earth Day: IBEW Members Pitch In
A little cleaner, a little greener
IBEW 1245 gets involved on Earth Day
IBEW Local 1245 recruited members, their families, and friends to help make the planet a little greener and cleaner during this year's Earth Day events.
"Earth Day was a great opportunity to show our commitment as a union to the broader community, as well as a chance to build solidarity amongst our members," said Local 1245 Business Rep. Jennifer Gray, who coordinated the union's participation. "People had a really great time."
IBEW 1245 at work at Eastshore State Park in Alameda County.
Auburn State Recreation Area in Placer County was a little more inviting after this IBEW 1245 contingent helped clean it up.

One of nature's miracles, at Auburn State Recreation Area
The weed-whacking assignment at Folsom Lake Recreation Area was "accepted enthusiastically" by the IBEW, reported Jammi Juarez.
IBEW 1245 volunteering at Benicia State Recreation Area
The Sonoma Coast crew hauled out a 12 foot Penta-treated cross arm complete with lead-topped steel pins.
Local 1245 fielded 52 volunteers, participating at 10 locations in eight counties.
Justin Casey, a Line Clearance Tree Trimmer at Davey Tree, led a group at Auburn State Recreation Area. Ten members of the IBEW 1245 contingent enjoyed a small breakfast, then split into smaller work details, he said.
"We picked up any trash and debris that we came across. Some groups painted over graffiti as well," Casey said. "All in all it was a great day."
IBEW 1245 pitched in to help over a hundred people volunteering at Benicia State Recreation Area, according to Michael Gomez.
"We planted native plants, weeded non-native plants, cleared old debris, added mulch to plant beds and cleared trails," said Gomez, an Operating Clerk at PG&E's Concord RMC.
The husband-wife team of J. V. and Valerie Macor, joined by their nephew Jonathan Garcia and retiree Ken Rawles, won the prize for the most ironic piece of trash cleaned up by IBEW members: a 12-foot Penta-treated cross arm complete with lead-topped steel pins. "Getting it to the pick-up site was quite a chore!" said J. V.
The eleven-member IBEW 1245 contingent at the Millerton Lake State Recreation Area helped clean up the North Shore Trail, picking up trash and removing obstructions, reported Jose Rey Mendoza, a Service Rep at PG&E's Fresno Call Center and IBEW's lead recruiter for this area. The group also planted trees.
Anthony Brown helped organize a contingent of four PG&E Gas Servicemen and two family members for a clean-up mission at Redwood Regional Park, tucked away in the
Oakland Hills. Brown called it an opportunity "to put in some good old fashioned labor" for the earth.
A cool dozen participated for IBEW 1245 at Beals Point in the Folsom Lake Recreation Area, reported Jammi Juarez, the union's lead recruiter for this project. The work included replacing fence poles, weed-whacking and raking, painting kiosks and fences, improving trails and cleaning trash.
"The IBEW 1245 Sacramento Team was asked to take on the task of weed-whacking and raking at the Granite Bay Boat Ramp. We accepted enthusiastically!" said Juarez, a Customer Service Rep at PG&E's Sacramento Call Center.
"The next three hours were spent cleaning over-grown weeds in the parking vicinity. The area hadn't been tended to in five years," said Juarez.
Proof of their hard work could be seen at the end of the day in their sunburnt cheeks, sore arms and backs, and blistered hands, but no one was complaining.
"We wouldn't have had it any other way!" said Juarez.


The Liebenzell Mission is an independent body within the evangelical church. It is a charitable organization and is financially independent of both the church and the state. It operates worldwide as a non-denominational institution and its numerous missionaries reach people with God's love in many countries around the world. They plant and sustain churches, provide training, give aid in acute emergency situations and teach people how to become self-sufficient.
The Liebenzell Mission was initiated by James Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission in England. It was he who asked the evangelical pastor Heinrich Coerper to establish a German branch of the English Mission. Coerper began this task in Hamburg on November 13, 1899. Just seven weeks later Heinrich Witt became the first missionary to travel to China. In 1902 the mission was forced to give up its domicile in Hamburg. When Lina Stahl, a deaconess in Bad Liebenzell, heard of this, she invited Heinrich Coerper to move his base to the Black Forest. In 1906 the newly established mission adopted the name of its new home: the German branch of the China Inland Mission became the 'Liebenzell Mission'.
2 000 islands which constitute Micronesia. Over the course of many decades, Liebenzell missionaries have managed to preach the Gospel in the most outlying regions of the earth, at the same time providing medical and technical aid.
The mission currently has 230 missionaries working in 26 different countries. Their fields of work include evangelization, planting and sustaining churches, work amongst children, young people and women, social welfare projects, work in schools, care for the sick, mission radio stations and literature published for the ministry, translation work and much more besides.

Students with disabilities criticize new accommodations system
By LEELA GEBO | September 26, 2020
As part of the University's One University initiative, Student Disability Services switched its system from AIM to Accommodate.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Student Disability Services (SDS) changed its user interface from Accessible Information Management (AIM) to Accommodate. Under this change, students requesting learning accommodations must email their professors directly; before, professors were notified of their students' accommodations automatically.
In an email to The News-Letter, junior Caroline Cerilli, who is hard of hearing, noted that labeling oneself as "disabled" can be difficult and having students reach out to professors individually places too much of a burden on the student.
Cerilli added that this practice further exacerbates the differences between students who require accommodations and those who do not.
"Accommodations are not 'extra' or 'special' — they are what allow students to have an equitable experience at Hopkins," she wrote. "The power imbalance between the student and the professor is too great. We should not feel embarrassed or like a burden by asking for basic needs."
In an email to The News-Letter, SDS Executive Director Catherine Axe, who oversees student disability services across all nine divisions of the University, explained that Homewood SDS switched to Accommodate as a part of the University's One University initiative. Its goal is to create a standardized process for applying for accommodations at Homewood and the University's other campuses.
Axe believes that the switch to Accommodate will make it easier for students who are enrolled across different campuses to secure the accommodations they require.
"Given how many students cross-register, earn dual degrees and return for graduate school, this should save students time and effort in securing accommodations as they study across schools," she wrote.
Junior Erika Wong argued that SDS should have communicated the switch better to the students affected by the new policy.
"I appreciate that they updated the interface because the user interface of AIM was kind of dated, but I am definitely not up to speed on how Accommodate works or how to use it," she said.
Additionally, Cerilli felt that it was unfair of SDS to introduce a new interface during a semester when so much else is changing due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Cerilli requires auditory accommodations, which, in an online semester, come in the form of captioning on Zoom calls. She noted that, when it comes to securing accommodations, virtual classes introduces both technical and logistical issues.
"At the end of the third week of classes, I still don't have captions on the majority of my professor's lectures. Professors don't know how to add captions. One asked me how to do it," she wrote. "SDS has been planning to make this switch for a while now, but I would have preferred if it had waited until everyone had a chance to settle."
Her accommodation, she stressed, is not being prioritized.
"I have an exam today and I still don't have captioning, even after talking to the professor several times about it," she wrote. "It has been really frustrating, and I feel like my 'reasonable accommodations' as defined by the [Americans with Disabilities Act] are being treated as a low priority."
Axe acknowledged that the switch will be an adjustment for students and highlighted that SDS will be available for consultation and assistance if needed.

A new specimen of Ichthyosaurus conybeari (Reptilia, Ichthyosauria) from Watchet, Somerset, England, U.K., and a re-examination of the species
ABSTRACT—Ichthyosaurus conybeari is a rare species, previously known only from an incomplete holotype and one referred specimen, both from the Lyme Regis area of the west Dorset coast, U. K. A newly recognized, nearly complete specimen (NMW 93.5G.2) is the first occurrence of the species in Somerset, U. K. A revised diagnosis recognizes new morphological characters that distinguish the species: slender maxilla with a long, delicate premaxillary process; narrow postorbital; humerus with an anteriorly offset dorsal process that has a well-defined lip extending slightly into the shaft; fibula that is much larger dorsoventrally and mediodistally than tibia; and wide rectangular ischium that is much shorter than the pubis and femur. Notching of anterior fin elements in the forefin had been used as a diagnostic character, but a review of notching within Ichthyosaurus suggests that it has little taxonomic utility. Another specimen (NHMUK R15907), herein referred to the species, extends the range of I. conybeari from the upper Hettangian to lower Pliensbachian stages of the Lower Jurassic, the longest duration of any species of the genus.

Q: AWS hosted application need autosuggest & wild card search feature I 'm not sure if this is the correct platform to ask architecture related question, actually I have a webapplication developed in nodejs & typescript hosted in AWS, and the backend is mongodb and my requirement is to include a search box with wild card & auto suggest search functionality so when I start typing on the text box, it will autosuggest just like we do in google search, so how would I achieve this, querying everytime to mongodb will be kind of slow and if 100's of user start doing that, then my application might start dangling so need your suggestion.
Not tried as this more of architecture help required
Not tried as this more of architecture help required

A: It's not a very detailed answer but may point you in a direction.
I just built something similar using AWS Lambda, ElasticSearch and API Gateway.
ElasticSearch is great for text searches but needs to be populated with indexed data.
If your dataset is changing, you will have to remember about updating ElasticSearch.
API Gateway routes requests from HTTP to Lambda, of which there are two:
one for analysing data in my data warehouse and producing indices for ElasticSearch, the other for doing the actual search and returning results.

On behalf of Larne Athletic Club Junior Academy, we would like to welcome your child into the club. Our Junior Academy hopes to provide opportunities for young people between the ages of 8 and 17 to receive coaching and competition opportunities in Athletics. All coaching is carried out by qualified volunteer Athletics Coaches and Athletics Coaching Assistants, who give up their time for free, and who are trained and screened for their suitability for working with young people. As an athletics club, we are committed to providing quality coaching for all young athletes.
We appreciate that as your child gets older other sporting interests, school exams etc. can interfere with their training. As there is a lengthy waiting list for entry into the club we would ask that you only consider membership if your child is committed to regular attendance.
Training sessions run on a Friday evening, with sessions starting at 6.30pm and finishing at 8.00 pm. All training will be held at Larne High School, unless otherwise notified.
All training can be subject to change due to holiday periods, coach availability, weather conditions and availability of facilities. Should there be a change to training; a member of the coaching team will contact you as soon as possible, by text message, email, or Facebook.
Larne Junior Academy is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all its members. The club believes that it is very important that members, coaches, administrators and parents associated with the club should, at all times and show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others. Therefore members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with the Child Protection Officer.
The club currently has two fully trained Child Protection Officers who are responsible for ensuring that our safeguarding policies are implemented. The Child Protection Officers can be contacted in person; by phone, text message or email at any time should you or your child have any concerns.
There will be a trained first aider at all club sessions.
Arrangements should be made for your child to travel to and from training sessions and any competitions.
Children should arrive at least 5 minutes before training starts and must be collected promptly at the end of the session. Failure to arrive on time for training disrupts the sessions for coaches and the other children. The first part of any session is a warm up, and failure to complete a full warm up could result in injury during training. Parents of consistently late attenders will be contacted.
If something unforeseen happens and you are going to be late picking your child up, please contact a member of the coaching team on 07999390718. Please save this number into your contacts. It can be distressing for a child to be the last person left to be collected, and it can be very cold for your child if they are standing outside. The coaches arrive at the session early and cannot leave the training session until everyone is collected, so please show them consideration.
Please ensure your child turns up to training in appropriate clothing for athletics and weather conditions.
The Academy has a yearly membership fee of £10.00 from April to March annually. Training sessions are charged at £4.00 per session thereafter (subject to change) and family discount available. Club fees are used to cover the cost of facility hire, equipment and coaching /training. All funds go towards the benefit of club members. All registered Academy members will be registered with Athletics NI.
Throughout the year attendance is recorded and parents will be contacted if attendance is poor. An absence without notification (and agreement/approval of coaches) of more than 4 weeks will result in your place being offered to someone on the waiting list. Membership fees will not be refundable.
The following adopted codes of conduct for Larne Athletic Club are available to view and read on the Larne Athletic Club website – www.larneac.co.uk and are located to view under the 'About' tab.
All coaches and volunteers representing the club sign and agree to these codes committing them to the values of this club.
Please ensure you and your child go through the codes of conduct together. If you return your membership form we will assume that you and your child have read and agreed to these codes.
This is part of the clubs commitment to providing a positive learning environment for your child.
The following adopted club policies for Larne Athletic Club are available to view and read on the Larne Athletic Club website – www.larneac.co.uk and are located to view under the 'About' tab. We would ask that you make yourself familiar with them.
Larne Athletic Club Junior Academy recognises the need to ensure the welfare and safety of all young people in athletics.
In accordance with the UK Athletics child protection policy and procedures, we will not permit photographs, video or other images of children/young people to be taken without the consent of the parents/carers and children/young people.
Larne Athletic Club Junior Academy will take all possible steps to ensure these images are used solely for the purposes they are intended. If you become aware that these images are being used inappropriately you should inform the Child Protection Officer immediately.
For the safety of your child it is important that the club is informed of any medical conditions, disabilities or allergies that may be relevant during the year, should your child fall ill or be involved in an accident while at the club. This information is only shared on a need-to-know basis. Please email or speak to any of the the Child Protection Officers, Geraldine Hastings, Marty McKay if there are any changes throughout the year.
Children should not turn up at training with known injuries/illness which prevents them from completing the full training session. We regularly have children turning up to training saying, for example… "I have an injured ankle/knee/arm or I was sick today but mum/dad says I'll be ok for training…etc…so I can't do everything tonight..!" Please do not send a child to training with an injury or illness. Your child must be able to complete all aspects of the training session. If they have an injury or illness they need to rest in order for them to have a quicker recovery.
It is very important that children who use inhalers bring them to training. If they are going to leave them with the Coach please ensure the inhaler is labelled with their name or initials.
If your child is required to carry an epi-pen, please discuss this immediately with a member of the Coaching Team.
Whilst it is not compulsory to compete for our club, we would ask that you consider entering your child into a least one event during the year. There are many to choose from (Cross Country, Road Races, Fun Runs, Track & Field Events) and we will pass this information to you throughout the year. This will ensure that all the good training and time invested by your child and their coach is put to good use. There are lots of fun low key events for those who are not looking for serious competition.
If your child also participates at events through school or junior parkrun, parkruns etc. we would be grateful if you can let us know, as it's always nice to hear when they've done well in an event. We are always proud of our young athletes for giving it a go…. no matter what place they come.
We welcome parents to all training session and competitions, and we value your support, please feel free to stay and watch.
There are a number of ways in which we will keep in contact with you….
This is the preferred main way that we provide information to parents.
Thank you for choosing Larne Junior Academy.
We look forward to working with you and your child.If you would like to talk to someone at the club about the information contained in this correspondence, or your child's involvement with the club, please contact any of the other coaches after training.


Step By Step Outline Of A Good Business Plan - Steps of a business plan?
Step by step outline of a good business plan, build your plan, then organize it.
Discuss your expected branding based on your chosen pricing model. Specifically, state what is it about your company that will allow you to effectively compete and win against both direct and indirect competitors.
Products and Services The key to writing a good product and services section is to be precise about the product or service you sell, the client you essay on tulsi plant in english targeting, and the channel you are targeting him through. When assessing the size of your market, you need to come up with two variables: Now if you have control over your prices you then need to come up with a figure.
Business Plan Outline - 23 Point Checklist For Success Sometimes this part of the plan will include tables that provide more details, such as a bill of materials or detailed price lists, but more often than not this section just describes what you are selling and how your products and services fill a need for your customers.
Target Market The target step by step outline of a good business plan is the type of customers you target within the market. This is a commitment you are making to your investors and you will be intro to creative writing virginia tech on your ability to achieve these goals.
Here is where you set goals for specific and critical undertakings, such as when a new product will be created and launched, by when you plan to execute new partnerships, etc.
For example, if you operate an Italian restaurant, other Italian restaurants would be direct competitors. Keep it short and to the point. Base case. Is it something they need such as food?
It is always a good thing to test different prices. In this section, you will essay rewriter online these functions. So be ultra precise, don't say for example "I sell shoes" but "I sell leather boots targeted at women aged who buy online".
Summarize the problem you are solving for customers, your solution, the target market, the founding team, and financial forecast highlights.
It could very well be that you have limited control over your prices. Management Team This is one of the most important section of your business plan. Compare it to your competitors pricing Show that you are profitable at that level Explain the rationale behind your price I won't touch criteria for judging thesis defense the two first points which are pretty obvious but I think the third one deserves a bit more explanation.
Now that you have introduced the company it is time to dive into what it does.
Business plan teaser look at a numerical example in order to get a better understanding of the impacts of these two drivers: Giving them the full list enables them to comparison and contrast essay about cat and dog a quick sanity check and gives them the opportunity to raise any concern they might have. Now if you are in a market with lots of low value customers it might be complicated and costly to reach enough of them to get to the minimum volume for your business to be profitable.
If your staff is planned to increase over the duration of your business plan, it step by step outline of a good business plan recommended to explain what will be the driver.
If you can try to include pictures of your products. Now that you have explained how your company will be operated it is time to dive into the numbers.
Do not try to tell everything about your business. Ideally you want to be in a market with a high number of medium value customers meaning that there is enough customers to leave room for a few players and that each customers bring a decent amount of revenues.
You want to do everything to build credibility and trust with your investors because the afrikaans creative writing tips they start doubting you they will start doubting the investment.
Finally, if you are raising money or taking out loans, you should highlight the money you need to launch the business.
For example, are you the premium brand?

In physics, there is a standard way to work out how much energy has gone from one thing to another. It is to calculate the work done in a change.
Work is done when an applied force causes something to move in the direction of the force.
when an object rests on a shelf – although the object has weight, there is no movement.
if the force is perpendicular to the direction of movement - e.g. a satellite in orbit around the Earth.
1 joule is the work done when a 1 N force moves through a distance of 1 m.
ΔE = weight x h =mgh, where h is the vertical distance a mass m has been raised, and g is the gravitational field strength.
Human beings are only about 25% efficient for doing mechanical jobs. For every 1,000 joules of energy which are transferred from fuel stored in muscles, only 250 joules are transferred to raising a load or doing some other kind of job. 750 joules are transferred to thermal energy in the body. Thermodynamics shows that muscles could be more than 70% efficient in transferring their chemical energy to do useful jobs, but only if the action was conducted infinitely slowly. So when estimating the useful energy transferred from chemical energy stored in food to muscles in order to climb the stairs, for an eight hour day, then the answer needs to be multiplied by four to find the demand on food.
In order to raise 1kg a height of 1 metre, then 10 J of energy need to be transferred. This can be obtained from four grains of sugar, a mini-snack. One grain of sugar is for raising the load and three grains for transfer to thermal energy. If you raise 1 kg through a height of 1 m every second requiring 1 mini-snack per second then this is about 10 grams of sugar per hour. Not enough to allow you to eat a cream-cake or a bar of chocolate without putting on 'weight' (i.e. mass)!
Energy transferred electrically is calculated using the equation ΔE = IVt, where I is the current, Vis the potential difference and t is time.
To find the energy transferred when something changes temperature, you measure things getting warmer by frictional forces. For example, an exercise bike or a car brake. In frictional rubbing, a force moves over a surface, but just makes it hot. You measure the rise in temperature of the material, and how much of it is warmed up. Then, next time something gets warmer, you know what amount of "force x distance" or work would have been needed if the warming up had been done in this way.
Sooner or later you'll need to tell a story about what "getting hotter" means, in energy terms. It just means that the invisible atoms or molecules are moving about faster. They have 'stolen' energy for themselves. And it isn't easy to claim it back again, because they have shared it out randomly in tiny parcels amongst a huge number of particles.
There are plenty of practical examples of friction diverting energy to make something hotter. Car (or bicycle) brakes are a case where we want the energy out of the moving car as speedily as possible. Exercise bicycles let students feel how what seems a large amount of mechanical work done produces only what seems like a modest heating effect.
A key teaching point is not to let 'friction' become a kind of excuse for things not working properly. It's the way that energy delivered by moving forces 'gets inside' matter.

New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "treason" and violating the Official Secrets Act by acting as Anil Ambani's "middleman" in the Rafale jet contract, citing an email to claim the businessman was aware of the deal days before India and France signed it.
"He has now given this secret to Anil Ambani who knows that the biggest defence deal in the world is going to him 10 days before the deal...This itself is criminal, this itself will put the prime minister in jail," the Congress chief said.
"This is literally handing over a defence secret...The Prime Minister has compromised national security. He has done what a spy does. He has given defence information to a person who is not supposed to have it," Gandhi alleged. "Why don't you allow a JPC...You can investigate us as much as you want," he said in response to a question.
The Congress president also rejected the CAG report on the Rafale deal, and dubbed it "Chowkidar Auditor General" report.

AQUATERRA ENERGY LAUNCHES UNIQUE RISER MONITORING SYSTEM
Wednesday, August 27th, 2014Corporate NewsLouise Thompson
Aquaterra Energy has launched a unique Riser Monitoring System (RMS) which the company believes will revolutionise the integrity management process and deliver superior reliability and accuracy of data acquisition for the offshore oil and gas industry. The RMS design utilises a combination of direct riser strain measurement, subsea data logging and riser analysis processing algorithms to generate accurate, real time operational guidance on optimising drilling and workover operations in water depths of up to 100m.
Eric Doyle, Regional Director – Europe at Aquaterra Energy, said: "Heightened sensitivity around health and safety and project critical risks associated with riser fatigue have resulted in an urgent need for innovation in riser integrity management, driving our innovation in this field. This new RMS will assist our clients with precision planning of maintenance activities and deliver real potential for safe asset life extension.
"It combines rapid data processing and high fidelity output with proven analysis expertise, to offer our clients a leading edge solution to integrity management. The solution is delivered through the use of a bespoke, standard length, riser joint, which replaces a standard riser joint in the stack up, with pre-installed data acquisition and logging hardware, resulting in virtually zero impact on operations.
"The integration, complexity and practicality of the data handling in the RMS is unique to Aquaterra Energy and the accumulated strain data can either be stored locally or transmitted back to surface for live evaluation."
A full scale prototype of the RMS unit was developed by Aquaterra Energy in the structures laboratory of the University Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge and, in partnership with the University, all elements of the system have been tested and verified to ensure maximum reliability.
Dr Chris Burgoyne, Head of Structures at the University of Cambridge, said: "This is an interesting use of sensing technology for the offshore oil and gas industry and the structures group is happy to be working with Aquaterra Energy on such an innovative application."
Aquaterra Energy's RMS uses pre-processed computationally intensive data which ensures that analysis, including the usually time intensive component fatigue utilisation determination, is rapid and that a full range of potential input conditions, tabulated in a multi-dimensional matrix, is provided. Measurement, evaluation and specification of key variables, specific to each strain cycle contained within the measured data, allow an accurate representation of the critical boundary conditions to be produced. This subsequently enables comparison with the pre-processed data, as well as directional fatigue assessment for each constituent component along the full riser length.
The system's four strain gauge devices facilitate superior reliability and accuracy to alternative data acquisition methods. The gauges are protected from accidental damage by a casing which also contains the logging hardware, in combination with modular battery pack expansion slots, which facilitate up to five years logging time.
Doyle concluded: "Unlike conventional methods, abutment to the riser is by a specially developed subsea epoxy resin, achieving one of the products key objectives – measuring the riser and not a clamp. This improves riser stain measurement accuracy whilst eliminating the need for welding which causes damaging fatigue hot spots."
The development of this RMS is illustrative of Aquaterra Energy's approach to delivering innovative outcomes to offshore challenges. The expertise and attention to even the smallest detail that our team employs in delivering such solutions, is intrinsic in all our riser engineering work, and highly valued by our clients."
The RMS is fully compliant with DNV-RP-F206 and ISO 13628-7 specifications and certified to ATEX Ex ib IIB T4.

On Aging: Success Measured. Banality Achieved.
Photo courtesy of Jeremy Banas. And LOOk! Right next to star wars stuff! bonus!
Thanks Maureen! I hope my book is even half as successful as yours. Thanks for your advice of talking one chapter at a time.
Jeez, I HOPE your book is more successful than mine, because mine was hardly successful. And yeah: One sentence, one paragraph, one chapter at at time.
Later, I thought: What a dumb response on my part. Totally stupid. Am I honestly, and at my age, measuring "success" in terms of money? That absurd! What a stupid, knee-jerk reaction.
Was the book successful? It actually changed my life, in MANY MANY ways that I never expected when I started writing it. I just thought I was writing a book, you know? And instead... I got you and a zillion other fabulous people in my life. Smart, creative people. So in that sense? The book was a FANTASTIC success. Monetarily, zero. Life enhancement? A bajillion and counting.
But I "earned" a life that is, literally, immeasurably more rich than had I not written the book. Because of it, I've met hundreds of smart, talented, creative people. Some have become friends. Almost all have inspired me. (There have been a couple of assholes in the mix.)

The Washington State Oral Health Coalition (WSOHC) has good reason to keep on smiling. In an environment where coalition building among sometimes collaborative, sometimes competitive stakeholders can be challenging, WSOHC has survived and thrived for a generation.
The Coalition celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2003. It was an occasion to remember the achievements in oral health accomplished between 1993 and 2003. The organization sprouted from a meeting at a picnic table under a tree behind Department of Health (DOH) headquarters at Airdustrial Park in Tumwater. Beth Hines, former Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Oral Health program manager for DOH, was talking with Suzanne Peterson who was then working for Children's Hospital and who eventually became an administrator at DSHS. The subject of their conversation early in 1992 was the long list of kids waiting for emergency dental care at Children's Hospital in Seattle.
Following that initial meeting, they put together a second meeting at the Odessa Brown Dental Clinic in Seattle's Central District. Dr. Peter Domoto, former chair of pediatric dentistry from the University of Washington, and Dr. Maxine Hayes, the state health officer provided dental and medical expertise illustrating the serious consequences of the lack of access to dental care for children in our state. Later, DOH met with Washington Dental Service Foundation(WDSF); and when they asked what they could do to help, Ms. Hines suggested that they assist in starting a statewide oral health coalition.
WDSF agreed to facilitate the process of forming a steering committee and the Coalition was on its way. Founding members included organizations with diverse interests such as state and local government, academia, community dental clinics, and private and public advocates. Task forces were formed to address the lack of access to dental care for children and adults and the prevention of dental disease. The group's initial planning process also pointed to a need for oral health assessment data in order to measure changes in oral health status.
Assistance with the State Department of Health's "Smile Survey" assessment of school children in 1992.
Assistance with the University of Washington county-based third grade oral health survey in 1993.The data from these surveys has provided the basis for much of the work the coalition has undertaken over the past 10 years. Among its accomplishments: Issue papers published on the benefits of fluoridation and dental sealants.
Support for successful Snohomish, Everett, and City of Yakima fluoridation campaigns.
Successful collaboration between private and public partners on health care reform issues before the Health Services Commission.
Successful partnership with DSHS resulting in raising Medicaid reimbursement rates for children's dental services of $42 million.
Statewide consensus conference that formulated recommendations on dental delivery systems, surveillance, education, and research.
Provision of information and recommendations from diverse perspectives for the legislature's Joint Select Committee on Dental Access convened to improve access to dental care.
Partnership with DOH resulting in oral health recommendations to the Public Health Improvement Plan.
Partnership with DOH and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction resulting in the "Tooth Tutor," an oral health school curriculum for school nurses which became a national model for outreach oral health education.
WSOHC sub committee input to the state School Based Sealant Guidelines produced by the Department of Health, a national model.
Partnership with DOH and a federal Community Integrated Service Systems (CISS) grant to support the creation of local oral health coalitions and an annual conference, "Community Roots for Oral Health," a national model. Thirteen local oral health coalitions were formed,and the Roots listserv was created.
Collaboration with ABCD, Access to Baby and Child Dentistry, a statewide Medicaid, UW, DOH,and WDSF partnership, a national model for early childhood dental care.
First state oral health coalition to host the National Oral Health Conference in Seattle 2009.
Achievement status as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Convened the first state Oral Health Summit in 2002 with support from a federal grant. Decision makers and advocates set the course on the issues of education, access, and service delivery for all Washington residents.
Author of record for the Washington State Oral Health Improvement Plan 2009.
Advocacy for return of adult Medicaid dental benefit 2013.
Endorsement of Board of Health strategies 2013.
Support for School Based Sealant Programs 2013.
Advocacy for the inclusion of an oral health measure in the final list of recommendations to the full Performance Measures Coordinating Committee from the Prevention Measures Technical Workgroup in 2014 as an element in the development of standard statewide measures of health performance to inform public and private health care purchasing, cost/value, and outcomes.
While its focus has expanded from children to people of all ages, the Coalition continues to work for improved access to oral health care and capacity for oral health service delivery. Its membership includes dentists and dental hygienists as well as representatives of social service and health care organizations with a stake in oral health, dental clinics, dental foundations, and institutions of higher education. It also includes representation from local oral health coalitions throughout the state.
In 2002, WSOHC produced the first Oral Health Summit, a one-day gathering of oral health decision makers and advocates whose task was to set the course for oral health in the coming years. Working from the blueprint designed that day, the Coalition has moved forward in the areas of adult dental advocacy and workforce development, maintaining a balanced role of informing and being informed on the continuing issues of oral health education, access, and capacity/service delivery for all of Washington's residents.

The Division 2 Private Beta is Officially Over
Angel Kicevski Follow on Twitter February 11, 2019Last Updated: February 11, 2019
It was fun running around DC for the time being of the Division 2 private beta. Nevertheless, we had to say goodbye to all of the beautiful moments encountered, but also to all of the bugs and glitches, because in this next period they're probably getting a fix.
Agents! The Private Beta is over! Thank you all for playing, giving feedback, reporting issues and being awesome. We'll return to Washington, D.C. soon!
— The Division 2 (@TheDivisionGame) February 11, 2019
The most surprising thing in The Division 2 Private Beta I'd say is the healing system. Unlike The Division 1 this time you're not actually healing but instead repairing your damaged armor. Which, in the long term, makes the game more interesting to play, and increases the player awareness, whether they like it or not.
Why so? Simply because you won't be able to get a flick repair, and when it comes to PVP, all the players will need to consider the advantage before they make the final push. All of that because of the inability to fix your armor on the move, except for the drones and seeker grenades that can heal you, whom healing rate is very low.
Say what you want but I personally believe that the end-game, now that we have different specializations, would be a lot more interesting. Do not forget the raids that weren't included in the Private Beta. Combined with the content, it could potentially become one of the most interesting games to play.
It is naturally an End Game content everyone would love to see. And yes, if you read anywhere that the enemies are Bullet Sponges on high difficulty, make sure you tell them they're wrong. It is the difficulty they're playing at. Harder difficulty equals harder to kill enemies, which is proportional to what they do.
Let's take a look at some of the changes, including the perks and skills system.
On the contrary, the Skills and Perks unlocking system is a bit strange, but yet satisfying and it works just fine. It still encourages the player to stay longer in the game and do more content to gather SHD tech.
The DZ East was by choice the area designated for PVP players. We have managed to successfully infiltrate the whole area and come out as winners. It doesn't work as previous Dark Zones and the healing system falls in favor of groups rather than single players. Those running in groups have natural benefits due to the healing system change.
Overall, the Private Beta was a soundly positive and intriguing experience. The Division 2 is on a good way to impress all of the players. Next stop would be the Open Beta event, which is about to come any time soon.

Le miniserie di PK sono un ciclo di sedici storie pubblicate sul periodico Paperinik Appgrade dal numero 16 del gennaio 2014 al numero 32 del maggio 2015 (tranne che sul 27). In queste storie ritornano alcuni personaggi provenienti dalle serie di PK, versione futuristica di Paperinik - già protagonista di tre serie a fumetti a partire dalla fine degli anni novanta.

Storia editoriale
Le storie non sono un seguito delle collane originarie, ma racconti a sé stanti in cui il classico Paperinik dovrà affrontare gli storici nemici di PK come gli Evroniani, guidati dal generale Zondag; le storie sono ambientate in un universo alternativo dove Paperon de' Paperoni non ha mai comprato la Ducklair Tower e quindi Paperino non ne è diventato il custode, non scoprendo quindi il piano segreto e Uno, che lo possano aiutare a difendere Paperopoli dagli Evroniani, tuttavia Paperinik, aiutato da Paperone e Archimede Pitagorico e altri personaggi provenienti dalle serie dedicate a PK come Angus Fangus, il Razziatore e Xadhoom, riesce più volte a respingere l'invasione. Le sei serie sono legate fra loro da una forte continuità. Nella prima storia intitolata Arrivano i mostri! viene inquadrato grazie a una invenzione di Archimede un universo alternativo che è appunto quello narrato nella serie PK - Paperinik New Adventures.

Senate releases FY23 appropriations bills
The Senate Appropriations Committee Thursday released its 12 fiscal year 2023 appropriation bills. The House passed six of its appropriations bills, including the FY23 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) bill, last week.
The House bill contains funding for the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund and NCUA's Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF).
The CDFI Fund makes capital grants, equity investments and awards for technical assistance to certified CDFIs. The CDRLF funds a revolving loan program and a technical assistance program.
Funding levels in the Senate legislation are:
$324 million for the CDFI Fund. The House-passed bill contains $330 million.
$3 million for the CDRLF. The House's bill contains $4 million.
The legislation also calls for $20 million for the U.S. Agency for International Development's Cooperative Development Program (CDP). The CDP is a global initiative focusing on building capacity of cooperative businesses systems.
