A Guide to Employee Coronavirus Temperature Screening
The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the way businesses operate around the country. As states slowly begin to reopen for business, there are lingering concerns about how to safely begin going back to work, meeting with customers, Coronavirus temperature screening, and ensuring employees are protected. All of these concerns are compounded by the threat of a second wave of coronavirus cases and what additional lockdowns could mean for businesses already struggling to recover from an unexpected shutdown.
As experts learn more about this novel virus each day, new recommendations are being made. People are told to maintain social distance, wear masks, and implement coronavirus temperature screening where possible. That final recommendation regarding temperature screening comes directly from the CDC and may be an important tool to help prevent further infection and ensure the recovery of business continues until an effective treatment or vaccine is developed.
Is Coronavirus Temperature Screening Mandatory?
Many businesses have been questioning the process for temperature screening of employees. Is the practice mandatory? Is it even legal?
It's important to understand that, on a national level, coronavirus temperature screening by employers is not mandatory. However, it is strongly recommended for businesses with more than 50 employees and businesses where maintaining social distance may not be realistic. Temperature screening is just one part of an overall COVID-19 mitigation strategy that includes:
Maintaining 6-feet of physical distance
Wearing face masks
Installing physical dividers
Ensuring employees that display any symptoms of COVID-19 do not come into work and isolate for the required amount of time, or until a test can be conducted
Staying up to date on national recommendations, as well as local advisories from health officials, is the most important step to ensuring compliance with reopening rules.
How is Coronavirus Temperature Screening Conducted?
Temperature screening can be done relatively quickly and easily with a number of different tools available on the market. Places like busy airports, for example, may implement infrared cameras that monitor all travelers for a temperature at or exceeding 100.4 degrees. Smaller businesses are more likely to adopt handheld sensors that can read the temperature of someone from a distance. Other organizations are incorporating personnel management kiosks, which allow employees to simply walk up to a thermometer stand to have their temperature taken- with zero human contact.
Employees that are conducting temperature checks should practice safe physical distancing from the people they are testing. This means that devices which require contact with the subject may not be the best solution. These employees conducting testing should also be wearing personal protective equipment like a face mask, face shield, and protective gloves. Protective equipment should be changed regularly, and employees should wash their hands frequently as well as sanitize surfaces or equipment they are interacting with while doing temperature checks.
What if Someone Displays a Fever of 100.4 Degrees or Higher?
If a routine temperature check discovers that someone is running a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher, the person should be sent home immediately and told to isolate until health officials give them direction otherwise. In most cases, the person will be told to undergo testing for COVID-19 to confirm their infection status. Anyone who was in close contact with the person showing a fever should also be sent home and told to isolate.
It's also important to keep an eye out for symptoms other than just a fever. Some infected patients may not display a fever but show symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, or fatigue. While these may be symptoms of other, less serious conditions, it is advised that the employee be sent home to isolate until a COVID-19 test can be completed.
What if Employees Refuse Coronavirus Temperature Screening?
Employers have the right to make temperature screening a condition of employment. If temperature screening is implemented and an employee refuses to be screened, they may be sent home at the employer's request. Before disciplining employees who refuse testing, legal advice should be sought out.
One way to avoid this challenge is to clearly outline return to work procedures including coronavirus temperature screening and make a clear request for anyone displaying any symptoms of COVID-19 to remain home, self-isolate, and advise local health authorities.
How to Implement Temperature Screening
Various tools and equipment are needed to effectively implement coronavirus temperature screening in the workplace. For help with choosing the right equipment and learning about the available options, contact the experts at RJ Young today.

Moscow demands answers after Erdogan vows to oust 'tyrant' Assad
AFP , Wednesday 30 Nov 2016
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (File Photo: AFP)
Russia says it hopes Aleppo situation can be resolved by year-end: RIA
Russia says Syrian army has made big breakthrough in Aleppo
Germany slams Russia and Iran over Aleppo siege
The Kremlin on Wednesday demanded an explanation after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara intervened in Syria solely to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
Turkish forces are pressing on with a three month operation inside war-torn Syria in support of anti-Assad forces, while Russia is the chief ally of the Syrian president in the conflict that has claimed more than 300,000 lives since 2011.
Yet Turkey and Russia have also been working hard to improve relations after clinching a reconciliation deal in June to repair ties brought to a historic low by Turkey's shooting down of a Russian jet in November 2015.
Erdogan had said Tuesday at a meeting in Istanbul in support of the Palestinians: "We went in there to put an end to the rule of the tyrant Assad who carries out state terror, not for anything else."
His comments came as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is due to meet Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu for talks in the Turkish resort of Alanya on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists he hoped that "clarification will come shortly from our Turkish partners".
Peskov said Erdogan's comment "really came as news," adding that it "is not in harmony with previous statements" and "not in harmony with our understanding of the situation".
Turkey is waging the operation inside Syria against Islamic State (IS) militants and also Kurdish militia to back pro-Ankara rebels, in an unprecedented military incursion.
There has so far been no indication of clashes with Assad's forces in the operation or that Turkey plans any offensive against regime-held territory.
Russia has generally steered clear of any sharp criticism of the Turkish offensive.
But the Turkish army accused the Syrian regime last week of launching an airstrike that killed four Turkish soldiers in Syria, the first time it has made such a claim during the incursion.
Erdogan has repeatedly pushed for the ouster of Assad as the only solution to end the Syrian civil war and had, until recently, vehemently criticised Russia's military support for his forces and even accused President Vladimir Putin of "war crimes".
But since the deal to normalise ties between Turkey and Russia, Ankara has been remarkably muted in its criticism of Russia's actions -- in particular its backing for Assad forces in the battle for Aleppo.
Erdogan and Putin discussed the Syria conflict on Saturday by telephone for the second time in just over 24 hours.

Loved the Maria Agresta recital. Were impressed with our seats and with the assistance in picking up a last minute ticket we wanted!
Select Italy were fast and efficient in getting seats. Moreover, they obtained excellent seating in the front row of a central box for the Mozart opera. The theatre itself was a real experience that will live in the memory.
I was very pleased with the ballet tickets that I purchased though Select Italy. I was able to call and speak to someone directly about my choice of seats which turned out to be right-on. Additionally when I had panicked and thought I had misplaced my tickets before I left for my trip (thankfully I found them) I received an almost immediate response from them ensuring me that it could be taken care of! My trip to Italy was perfect and I will definitely be using Select Italy again when I return!!
Fantastic. I left My own country before the tickets arrived, so I sent an email, they sent me a voucher, and the tickets were printed and waiting for me at the box office in the theater. The concert was superb, La Scala is an experience I recommend to anyone who visits Milan.
Select Italy is proud to offer exclusive 2-night hotel and ticket packages for Italy's most famous opera house. Year after year, visitors come to La Scala to experience not only the superb performances onstage, but also the exquisite atmosphere of Milan's musical jewel. Your hotel + ticket package gives you exclusive access to first category tickets along with the comfort of choosing 3, 4, or 5 star accommodations*.
Hotel + ticket packages do not include the Milan city tax, which must be paid at the hotel reception at check out, nor do they include any services not explicitly listed in the "Package Includes" section above. Prices listed are per person, based on double occupancy.
Note that Select Italy cannot offer tickets only; they must be sold within the hotel + ticket package. In the event that you require a different length stay, would like a hotel centrally located near La Scala, need an upgraded room category, or have any other special requests, send an email to info@selectitaly.com with as many details as possible so we can provide an updated quotation.
*3 star accommodations will be at the Hotel St. Ambroeus (or similar); 4 star accommodations will be at the Hotel Sanpi, Marconi, Star Hotel Ritz (or similar); 5 star accommodations will be at the Principe di Savoia (or similar).
**Individual travelers are subject to a single supplement, which will be communicated to the client by Select Italy prior to proceeding with the reservation.
***First category refers to all seats on the main floor, all front seats in the boxes, and some second row seats in the central boxes. Select Italy can only guarantee the category of the tickets and not the exact location of the seats in the theater. Exact seat numbers are known when tickets are delivered to the hotel.

Skeletons come out of closet as Leeds museums host creepy night-time Halloween festival
Comments Off on Skeletons come out of closet as Leeds museums host creepy night-time Halloween festival
By Alexandra Pereira
A HALLOWEEN festival has returned to museums and galleries across the UK for a second year in an attempt to boost declining visitor numbers.
The Museum at Night Festival is a national three-day event running from yesterday (Thursday) to tomorrow.
More than 150 events are taking place including the Halloween Late exhibit at the National Gallery in London, Nightmares! – a medieval murder mystery taking place at The Royal Armouries in Leeds, the Tolson at Night at the Tolson Museum in Huddersfield and a zombie infestation at the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds.
Organiser Rosie Clarke, who works for Culture24, said: "It's a chance to showcase the amazing museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage sites the UK has to offer, and to attract a new audience who might not otherwise have the opportunity to visit to come and do something different after hours."
The event has come at an important moment as government statistics show that museum attendees in August were down 2.2 per cent from August last year.
Ms Clarke said: "I think that the recession is really impacting on people's ability to bring their families on day trips out, which is a shame because many museums are free to enter.
"We also have to acknowledge that museums and galleries are competing for people's free time with sports, TV, reading, video games and anything else that people might want to do – and local museums often don't have the money to advertise all the things they offer."
Judith Knox, 40, who works at the Thackray Museum in Leeds said: "With the zombie event, we get a lot of young adults, especially people who are in their late teens to their 30s – it's all about trying to do something different."
Knox described the event, which runs from 7 to 11pm tomorrow night (Saturday), as having interactive elements and a series of tasks around the museum galleries to help cure the museum of a zombie virus with visitors hopefully coming out alive.
Zombie enthusiast Stevie Markey, is returning to this year's event. He said: "I'm very excited for the event. It's really good how they make the costumes."

If you are buying a home that gets its water from a domestic well, or looking at a vacant lot that involves the drilling of a well, you should get either the subject well log or, in the case of a lot without an existing well, well logs for surrounding properties that will give you an idea of what you can expect in your well drilling endeavor. It is a statutory requirement that every well drilled in the State of Nevada have a log of the well drilling filed by the well driller with the Water Resources division of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The original well logs are kept in one area at that office and are available to the public for inspection and copying.
If you go to the Water Resources office to inspect your well log you will need the township, range and section of the parcel you are working with. You can get that information from your deed, or online at the Douglas County Assessor's office website, co.douglas.nv.us/databases/assessors/ (find your parcel number then pull up your parcel map). If it is a newer well you might be able to find it with an accurate address or County Assessor's Parcel Number. Names can also help if you know who owned the property when the well was drilled.
It gets a bit tricky with older wells as the well drillers weren't always accurate with identifying the location, and the wells were occasionally filed in the name of the well driller, not the owner. If you don't find the log you are seeking exactly where it should be, try going up/down in the township or range number, or moving to an adjacent section number. In our research we've found many well logs in that manner and there really is no apparent explanation for their misidentification or placement in the State records.
Good news for the computer savvy. You can get well logs online at the Water Resources website, http://water.nv.gov/engineering/wlog/wlog.cfm, or simply go to www.water.nv.gov and click on the well log database icon. You will find many different ways to find your well log, name, township/range/section, Parcel Number, etc. It can take some work, but with patience and effort you can usually find what you are looking for in the comfort of your home/office.
Our Advice: It is important that you know the physical structure of your domestic well. The log will tell you the depth of your well, how much perforated pipe was installed in your well, the depth of the seal, static water level, types of soils encountered, casing diameter, pumping data, i.e.- draw down, volume, etc. A 350 foot well is much more expensive to drill and operate than a 140 feet deep well. Wells drilled in rocky earth can be more expensive than those drilled in sandy soil. You can anticipate such additional expenses by looking at the soils report portion of the well log. You will not find water quality information, but you'll have a good understanding of the structure of your "straw". Your agent can help you acquire the necessary well log(s) for your real estate situation.

Somewhere in the enigmatic ether where the ooze that resides between the likes of Lustmord, SPK, and Coil, there dwells the LA-based act, Hasufel. Shrouded in a cloak of mystery, project leader Helmut warps ice-cold dark ambient and squelching synth-driven cold wave with a chaotic strand of noisy nü-neo folk on new release, Lord Of Carrion. The output, which has spent five years coming to fruition in an abyssal nook, comes crawling out as a filthy, sprawling beast already full grown with wild, twisted limbs and a horned head, itself nodding ever so slightly to the more obscure side of black metal. Dynamic, strange, and dense; Hasufel has a specific intent to coat the listener with a stench of melancholy while creeping them out with a fantastic, obscene blackened magick. Not casual listening, the sound herein will be satisfactory to a selective guild, but will ultimately draw a cult-like following of heathens with a glean in their eye to match their daggers. The new release will speak to them with messages of decay... pestilence... nightmare... and ultimate doom. Do not listen casually, listen with a desire to lay flayed open and pray to whatever deity you cry out to when the night blanks out the stars.

Decked-Out Audi R8 With Aero Upgrades, Possible RWD Spied In Snow
It's not uncommon to see automakers testing performance parts on production vehicles. For that matter, it's not exactly rare to see these test vehicles without any camouflage. Context matters, however, which is why we present these images of a new Audi R8 adorned with wings slicing through a snowbound winter landscape.
The obvious question is, why would Audi need to test some bolt-on wings in a winter environment? These parts look pretty much like the parts available for the previous R8, before the facelift. The front lip looks just a bit different, but that could be due to changes in design for the latest version of the supercar. We can also tell you there's not a shred of camouflage to be found anywhere on this vehicle. So whatever is happening, Audi isn't trying to conceal it.
Here's where things get a bit more interesting. Look closely at the left side of the car and you'll see a wire taped to the door pillar. There's another wire visible on the right side, along with an antenna on the side glass. The wires run inside the car, but that's where our factual analysis ends. Presumably, some form of telemetry is being gathered. It could be as simple as temperature, or it could be something more.
While we're taking a close look, check out the rocker panels behind the front wheels. If this were an all-wheel-drive R8 we'd expect to see a little bit of snow built up there, as you see at the rear. Powered wheels will always fling a bit more snow, especially on something as powerful as a V10 R8, but those rockers are very clean. That leads us to believe this is a rear-wheel-drive R8. Wearing all kinds of aero upgrades. With wires and an antenna fastened to the car. In an extremely snowy environment.

Aluminum Association Applauds USITC's Preliminary Injury Ruling on Imports of Aluminum Foil from Five Countries
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) made a unanimous preliminary determination today that unfairly-traded imports of certain aluminum foil from Armenia, Brazil, Oman, Russia, and Turkey are causing injury to U.S. producers. As a result of the USITC's affirmative preliminary determination, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of certain aluminum foil from the five countries. The Commerce Department's preliminary countervailing duty determinations concerning imports from Oman and Turkey are currently due to be completed on December 23, 2020, and Commerce's preliminary antidumping duty determinations concerning imports from all five countries are currently due to be completed on March 8, 2021.
"The Aluminum Association and its members are encouraged by today's unanimous preliminary finding," said Tom Dobbins, President & CEO of the Aluminum Association. "After successfully petitioning for unfair trade orders on imported aluminum foil from China in 2018, U.S. foil producers were unfortunately confronted by a second surge of unfairly-traded imports from these countries. Today's decision is the first step in restoring fair conditions to the U.S. foil market."
"Today's affirmative preliminary decision by the ITC is an important first step in remedying the devastating injury that the flood of unfairly-traded imports of certain aluminum foil from the subject countries have had on domestic producers," commented John Herrmann, of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, counsel to the domestic industry.
Imports of certain aluminum foil from the five subject countries increased by nearly 110 percent between 2017 and 2019 and accounted for 43.7 percent of total U.S. imports in 2019. The total value of certain aluminum foil imports from the five subject countries in 2019 was $281.4 million.
The certain aluminum foil that is subject to investigation includes all imports from Armenia, Brazil, Oman, Russia, and Turkey of aluminum foil that is 0.2 mm or less in thickness (less than 0.0079 inches) in reels weighing more than 25 pounds and that is not backed. The determination does not cover etched capacitor foil or foil that has been cut to shape. Certain aluminum foil is used extensively in food and pharmaceutical packaging, household foil, thermal insulation, cables, electronics, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ("HVAC") applications and other heat transfer products where properties such as light weight, resistance to corrosion, and formability are desired.
The Aluminum Association Trade Enforcement Working Group and its individual members are represented in these actions by John Herrmann, Paul Rosenthal, Alan Luberda, and Joshua Morey of the law firm Kelley Drye & Warren LLP.
About The Aluminum Association
The Aluminum Association represents aluminum production and jobs in the United States, ranging from primary production to value added products to recycling, as well as suppliers to the industry. The association is the industry's leading voice, representing companies that make 70 percent of the aluminum and aluminum products shipped in North America. The association develops global standards, business intelligence, sustainability research and industry expertise for member companies, policymakers and the general public. The aluminum industry helps manufacturers produce sustainable and innovative products, including more fuel-efficient vehicles, recyclable packaging, greener buildings and modern electronics. In the U.S., the aluminum industry supports $172 billion in economic activity and nearly 660,000 jobs.

Today's times are becoming more sophisticated and high-tech every second, but the same cannot be said for health in general. If you want your overall health to peak to desirable levels, though, then you have to exercise. A simple plan to come up with a consistent exercise regimen is to get a treadmill in your home. Try searching for some ProForm customer reviews for several workout ideas.
Running, jogging or even simply walking on a treadmill can actually condition and strengthen your body over time. Walking and running, being workouts that help make your heart work fast in a great way, burns a lot of calories. Depending on your objective, there is a treadmill program for you whether you want to build some muscle or merely increase your endurance. The treadmill's ease of use and wonderful benefits make it the top choice for anyone who wishes to up their health and fitness level.
Speed adjustment is a basic and essential feature on treadmills. Other basic features include those that will let you adjust and vary your workouts according to your health goal. Manufacturers create these treadmill variations to make your exercise routine tougher and unique every day.
Modern treadmills have lots of inbuilt workout programs. You can choose the program for weight loss, athletic training, muscle building or general body firming before the belt starts moving. As you utilize the treadmill, the speed and incline will instantly change at regular intervals. This can be a gradual increase or in a predetermined mixed pattern.
If you'd like to observe your heart rate while having your workouts, there are built-in programs designed for that purpose along with a heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitors might be designed for gripping or clipping. High-quality treadmills utilize a chest-strap heart rate monitor to correctly keep track of your heart rate and calories burnt. In other words, it can monitor your cardiovascular fitness level and the intensity of your exercise routine.
To avoid wasting time, you can save your chosen workout settings in your treadmill so you don't need to punch them in every time you exercise. This is primarily useful when you share the treadmill with others. Additionally, the modern treadmill models allow you to keep track of your exercise history and past fitness values too.
iFit Live technology is a premium treadmill feature that gives you hundreds of virtual courses copying those at the live destinations. In this situation, you can prepare for an event without ever leaving the comforts of your home. With the iFit Compete Live course, you can pit yourself against other treadmill users training on the same course. Get an iFit Live-compatible treadmill and a reliable Internet connection, and you can try this feature on your own. Highly developed treadmills even have full-color LCD touch screens and a music player to keep your rhythm going as you exercise.
The treadmill is primarily composed of an electrically operated conveyor belt. Because the belt is built to move backward, you will need to move in a forward motion and suit its pace so you stay on it. Because the belt stretches up to the frame of the treadmill, you will get to stay on it regardless of your body weight. For an even more challenging workout, simply increase or decrease the position of the treadmill deck. A simple resetting in the angle can make a huge healthy difference in your treadmill routine.
Almost all running decks are mounted on damping elements to make the treadmill shock-absorbent. A padded belt minimizes the jarring effect on your feet while moving; the tension in the cushioning can be modified for your ease and comfort and resistance requirement. You can say alot about the quality of a treadmill by checking out its motor, belt, deck, and rollers since these are the bare bones that make up the equipment.
The frames of treadmills can be folded or not. If you will be using the treadmill at your home, the foldable model is your best choice. Because the deck can be folded up, even a small space will do. You might need to pay more for a durable foldable treadmill that lasts a number of years. The non-foldable models are great for public use, for example training studios, because they can manage more frequent usage.
Treadmills are also classified as per the user and specific health purpose. A treadmill designed only for walking will be less expensive than a jogger's treadmill; a running treadmill will be the most high-priced. Consider the weight and body built of the person who will be employing the treadmill frequently. Taller users need to have a treadmill with a lengthier tread belt that can easily accommodate their long strides. If your home gym treadmill will be used by the whole family, take into consideration the increased depreciation that the machine will experience. If the treadmill is for a number of individuals, select the more reliable units that can stand the daily wear and tear.
Fitness lovers will agree: a treadmill is an indispensable health arsenal in every home. Yet there are factors to consider before buying one for your needs. Often-overlooked factors include the place at home and the types of treadmill users. what you're looking for but also one that won't burn a hole in your pocket.
Looking for the best exercise machine is mostly a frustrating task. treadmill product reviews are reliable areas to start with. Learn what people have to say and you'll see that these machines are top of their kind.

UFC 196: Holly Holm, Miesha Tate and the Shadow of Ronda Rousey
Last year, 'The Preacher's Daughter' shocked the world by knocking out the MMA icon – now she's out to prove she's no one-hit wonder

Holly Holm and Miesha Tate meet at UFC 196.
Brandon Magnus/Zuffa LLC/Getty
UFC champion Holly Holm has a big fight coming up – and it's not against Ronda Rousey.
Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), the UFC women's Bantamweight titleholder, puts her belt on the line against Miesha Tate (17-5, 4-2) on Saturday at UFC 196. But with the questions she's getting ahead of the fight, you'd hardly know it. At every press junket and promotional stop, the queries come about Rousey – her claims that she contemplated suicide following her loss to Holm last year, her upcoming movie roles, her potential rematch for the Bantamweight crown. What Holm wants to be asked about, however, is Tate, who may prove to be her toughest opponent yet.
Holly Holm on Ronda Rousey KO: 'That Fight's in the Past'
"How much time are we going to spend on that?" Holm sighs after yet another Rousey question. "I have Miesha in front of me."
If history is any indicator, Tate isn't going to get out of the way, either. Don't let her nickname ("Cupcake") fool you; she's one of the toughest athletes in the sport. Tate is the only fighter in the history of a major MMA organization to come back from being knocked down three times in a fight to stop their opponent inside the distance. Two fights ago, her orbital bone was cracked by a punch early in the first round, but she gutted out a decision over Olympic silver medalist Sara McMann.
She is as gritty as they come, but what makes her even more dangerous is the sizeable chip she's carrying on her shoulder. Tate was supposed to be Rousey's opponent at UFC 193, but even after being publicly announced as No. 1 contender, the promise was reneged and Holm took her spot. The rest is history.
"I was considering retiring out of frustration, not out of feeling like I didn't have what it takes anymore," Tate says. "They said, 'Oh you're going to fight for the title.' Then, 'Oh, wait – you're not.' My fate was in someone else's hands and I was frustrated for a moment because I'm not in this for a participation ribbon, I'm in it to be a UFC champion.
"It felt like they were telling me it was never going to be an option," she continues. "But fate has a way of working itself out and opportunity can present itself so destiny can fulfill itself. That's where I think I'm at with this."
Holm's vicious head-kick to Rousey not only changed her career, but Tate's as well. Tate's four-fight UFC winning streak is the longest in her division, but the fact her record shows two career losses to Rousey put her in title purgatory as long as the belt stayed put. When Holm forced the title to change hands, though, it immediately opened the door for Tate. UFC originally planned to give Rousey an immediate rematch, but when her return to fighting was postponed to November, Holm insisted on taking another bout.
Tate was the obviously choice, and the champion says she's in for a stern test.
"I expect a really tough fight," Holm says. "I'm going to get the best Miesha Tate there is. Having that chance at the title taken away from her, I think this is really a motivation for her. She could change everything for her career and her life by taking this belt away. I'm really aware of that. Just because Ronda beat her doesn't mean that I can beat her. I have to expect her hardest game."
To date, Tate's career has been a series of highs and lows. She was the champion of the now-defunct Strikeforce organization, but has also suffered some humiliating defeats. Tate says none of that ever deterred her from her chosen path, and because of that she believes the timing is finally right for her to hold UFC gold.
"I want to prove to the world that I'm the best," she says. "In my mind, I already am, but I have a little bit of proving to do on Saturday, obviously. There's some people who doubt and I want to shut out all cases of doubt. I want to go out and win this fight in emphatic fashion and be the champion. That belt symbolizes the 10-plus years that I've put into this sport busting my ass."
Tate may believe it's her destiny to beat Holm, but "The Preacher's Daughter" would beg to differ. Holm has also worked for a lifetime to reach her current position. From a storied career as a pro boxer to her current venture as an MMA fighter, she has experienced trying ups and downs of her own.
The highlight of Holm's career to this point is, of course, the crushing title-winning knockout of Rousey. In her mind, though, that's just the start of what she hopes to accomplish during a long and prestigious reign as champion. She says she doesn't want to be remembered for just one shocking upset.
"I never want to be a one-hit wonder," Holm says. "When I look at myself I don't even see myself with the belt. When I think of my fight, I feel like I'm fighting for the belt, not that I have it already. I'm still driving forward, so I don't even consider myself the champ right now. I consider myself the person who needs to go in and fight for it."
Tate's style will offer a different challenge to Holm that what she faced in her previous fight. Rousey was an Olympic-level judo competitor with developing striking skills and the ability to end a fight on a dime. Tate, on the other hand, is a hard-nosed wrestler who has put years into stand-up training and has a will and resolve that's difficult to account for.
If Tate can put together her best elements when she steps in the Octagon at UFC 196, another new champion could be crowned. Most who win a UFC belt believe their place on top isn't truly solidified until the title is successfully defended. Tate has no intention of being Holm's stepping-stone.
"She said, 'I don't want to be a one-hit wonder,'" she says. "That's great, but we'll see."

Cecil County MD: World's 3rd Busiest Canal Meets "We Bought A Zoo"
Canal Bridge Chesapeake City MD
WHY GO: Cecil County MD is the most undiscovered county in the upper Chesapeake region, and therein lies much of its charm. Encompassing five rivers, the Chesapeake Bay, and an important transportation Canal, this area of Maryland is most known for a land-based sport – Horsemanship. The Fair Hill International is one of the nation's premier Equestrian Events, newly chosen as one of two 4-star Equestrian Competition sites in the country.
Fair Hill Training Center MD
Cecil County, encompassing the towns of Chesapeake City, North East, Elkton, Rising Sun, and Port Depot, is also where Gore-Tex was invented and is still headquartered, where a crab house sparked a downtown renaissance, where a DuPont restored an historic plantation known for its flowers, and where a real couple "Bought A Zoo" and saved all the animals within. Come along on this quirky, Tidewater Getaway.
Things to Do in Cecil County MD
Mt Harmon Plantation Manor MD
TOUR: Mt. Harmon Plantation, Earleville. The Osage-Tree lined driveway leading up to this magnificent Georgian Colonial manor, built in the 1730's, seems to go on forever. On 1,200 acres threaded with a river, creeks, and marsh, considered part of the British Colonies, a visit here easily takes you back to the time when Captain John Smith explored these waterways, writing diaries that would compel waves of Englishmen to settle in this part of the New World. In fact, says a docent, "if you were here in 1607, you would have witnessed Smith coming up the Sassafras River – and in 1813, you'd have seen the whole British fleet sailing up."
Grounds River Mt. Harmon Plantation MD
Horticulturalists know about Mt. Harmon due to the prevalence of American Lotus flowers on the creek behind the home. The property is so singular and pristine; it was listed as one of the few "Treasured Landscapes of the Chesapeake."
Chippendale Furniture Mt Harmon Plantation MD
Marguerite du Pont de Villiers-Ortiz Boden, a descendant of the Louttit and George families who lived in the home from 1760-1810 when Mt. Harmon was a wealthy tobacco plantation, restored the mansion to that era when she lived here in the 1960's. With her Du Pont money, she purchased the best furnishings of the time: Chippendale chairs with clubfoot legs, a ceremonial Huntsman's Chair with carved hound arms, hand-painted wallpaper from the Orient, and a very unusual slat painting from the 17th century of Lady Arabella Stuart who appears as a young woman or a skeleton depending on where you stand.
Purple Kitchen Mt Harmon Plantation MD
There are no cordoned off areas on a house tour. You can get within a pinky's distance of most treasures as the docent leads you through one breathtaking room after another, into Marguerite's modernized over-the-top marble bathrooms (with sunken tubs), and purple modern kitchen (Boden loved the color), discussing the valued contributions of Marguerite and her daughter, Kip, who established the Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc to insure the Plantation's future. With a dredged river and restored docks, you can now get here by boat as well. Open Thurs – Sun 10-2, with guided tours on the hour, $10.
Chesapeake Inn boat docks Chesapeake City MD
VISIT: Chesapeake City. Even if you don't stay over, this place is arguably the most picturesque town in the county – situated right on the "World's third busiest shipping Canal," the 14-mile C&D Canal linking the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay. There are several gift and antique shops in town – one, My Jewelry Place, in an old bank – and plenty of photos ops.
My Jewelry Place Chesapeake City MD
Homes that line Bohemia Ave., which ends at the waterfront, are sweet and charming. The Canal, owned and operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, allows plenty of freighters from around the world, but no oil tankers. You very well might just see a Car Carrier bringing 5,500 automobiles to the Port of Wilmington DE – one of the largest auto ports in the country.
View of Canal from The Bayard House, Chesapeake City MD
WALK/RUN/BIKE: 17-Mile Ben Cardin C&D Canal Trail. Traversing the far side of the C&D Canal, this paved trail goes all the way to Delaware City. Cycle, walk, or run – you will be far from alone. You can easily get from one side of the canal to the other (both sides are considered Chesapeake City) via the Chesapeake City Water Taxi.
Patti Paulus The Palette & The Page, Elkton MD
EXPLORE: Elkton MD. A county seat, Elkton was never much of a tourist town, but it's slowly turning into one. There's a famous historic Soda Fountain (see below) and several art shops to peruse. Craft shop enthusiasts will love The Palette & The Page, a larger than it first looks shop that features the unique work of 38 artists and gently used books, chosen and lovingly curated by owner, Patti Paulus. Next door, Brookbend Interiors upcycles old cast offs and makes them new again.
Milburn Orchards MD
VISIT/SHOP: Milburn Orchards, Elkton. Opened in 1902, Milburn Orchards is more like a spotless grocery store than a farm market – with picture perfect produce, and popular cider donuts. Now run by it's 4th generation, Milburn is at heart an Apple Orchard, and so you'll find more apples here than anything else. But if you want to pick your own, you can; cherries, berries, grapes, and of course apples.
Milburns Pink Tractor MD
The complex includes a massive backyard "Farm Yard" – anchored by a pink tractor painted to raise money for breast cancer research. There are all kinds of barn animals here, including goats – the smallest of which get to gambol on top of Yoga practitioners for Goat Yoga!
Entrance Plumpton Park Zoo Rising Sun MD
VISIT: Plumpton Park Zoo, Rising Sun. Poor Jimmy the Giraffe. He's without a "wife." But not to worry – fans of the Plumpton Park Zoo have started fundraising for one. Jimmy is the "Face of the Zoo" that was purchased and rescued by Cheryl and Nick Lacovara. A "30 year old rundown zoo," the Lacovaras completely revamped and improved it – replacing every enclosure.
Owl Plumpton Park Zoo Rising Sun MD
Eighty percent of the animals were rescues who were "in horrible condition," and here, says Cheryl, they can "live out the rest of their lives in peace." Cheryl loves bonding with and feeding the baby animals born here, and did so with two brown bear brothers who "love to be sprayed with a hose on hot days." Each animal is named and has constant contact with humans – making it safer for the handlers.
Chimp Plumpton Park Zoo Rising Sun MD
Endearingly, staff know to a creature what is going on: Godiva, the pony "has weight problems;" One of the Jackals just has surgery and is limping, but should be fine in a few days; Louis the Black Bear and Eve the Brown Bear don't live together but are having a bear affair – "they pass each other treats through the fence;" cockatoos and Blue Gold Macaw are "misfit birds that get along in the same cage:" Arctic Foxes were rescued from a fur farm; Dakota the Bobcat was once a house cat, a female peacock rests on her eggs perilously close to the walking path, and on and on.
Even if you're not into zoos or don't have kids or grandkids with you – this place is balm for the heart, though, yes, the animals are in cages. Having been injured or raised domestically, they wouldn't be able to live long in the wild. And they all seem eager for human attention. $12.95, $8.95, daily 10-5, last admission 4pm.
Downtown North East MD
SHOP: In North East. This little town isn't even in northeast Cecil County, but it's got a catchy name, no? Twenty-three years ago, North East was a "one horse fishing village" known for its commercially fished herring and rockfish. Then, Woody's Crab House opened – with its brown paper covered card tables and boiled crabs – drawing the likes of Martha Stewart. The Woody's phenomenon has been a boon to this town, which is now like an outdoor boutique shopping mall. Here are come favorites:
North East Chocolates MD
North East Chocolates; owned by Christie McDevitt, come in for the smoothest, silkiest fudge ever, signature salted caramels, nostalgic candies, and 100 varieties of hand-crafted chocolates. Her store is always packed with people, and has been so successful, McDevitt has opened up a second one in Chesapeake City.
Sterling Station North East MD
The Sterling Station – owned by injured vet, Joe Carbone, who makes sterling silver and stone jewelry he sells for "$35 or less."
Sweet Spice North East MD
Sweet Spice Bakery – ambrosial baked goods, like signature Potato Chip Cookies, and one of the best selfie walls in MD.
Toby the Golden Hero Gifts – Toby the Golden Retriever saved his owner's life by pushing her to the floor and jumping on her chest when she was chocking on an apple. Afterwards, Toby was struck with bone cancer, treated by a great vet, and has been 5 years cancer-free. Now, Toby's owner is "paying it forward" by donating proceeds from her store in North East MD to help pay vet bills for others.
Continue on for the Cat's Pajama's – handmade crafts on consignment, Kathy's Corner Shop – nautical and Amish made items, Bee's Nest Prims for primitive and country home décor, Kreative Journey for cute gifts, and Silver & Sassy and The Silver Buckle for cool clothing and accessories.
North East Community Park, North East MD
WALK: North East Community Park, North East. Though you'd never know you were near the water in downtown North East, continue about a mile down Main St. to find a great town park (just a few minutes off of I-95 and a great leg stretcher). There's a lovely walking trail along North East Creek and North East River, where you may see kayakers or SUP'ers tranquilly gliding by, along with a picnic area, playground, and a small Fishing Heritage Museum.
Port Deposit Granite Stairway MD
DRIVE: Port Deposit. This granite quarry town on the Susquehanna River saw its glory days in the 1800's when stone from here was shipped to other locales first by boat and then the railroad. One street separates the looming granite cliffs, Port Deposit Stairs, and sturdy granite buildings from the river – and it's cool to drive down this lost in time, but rebounding town.
Lees Landing Port Deposit MD
A few popular restaurants line the riverfront – the more sedate Back Fin Blues and the hopping Lee's Landing with tiki bar. A bit out of town, the logcabin Union Hotel still packs 'em in for meals. Port Deposit has been cursed with repetitive floods, however. Every time the Conowingo Dam releases water, it floods here.
Where to Eat and Drink in Cecil County MD
Wellwood Club Dining Room Charlestown MD
EAT: The Wellwood Club, Charlestown. Owned by Larry Metz, this astounding eatery, comprised of a bare-bones crab house and fine and casual dining rooms, was, in the mid 1870's, a Philadelphia Union League retreat, complete with hotel, golf course, and some of the best fishing and duck hunting in the world. Presidents and government officials would take the train from the city: Grover Cleveland, Teddy and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and John F. Kennedy all spent time here.
T Roosevelts Carved Eagle Wellwood Club Charlestown MD
Metz's father and ballerina mother purchased the place in 1958 (a painting of her, in tutu, hangs on the wall), and then in 1999, put it up for sale as it sat idle. Enter Larry, who ditched his life as a horse trainer to come back into the family biz.
River Shack Crab Fest at Wellwood Club Charlestown MD
Now, the place thrums again with diners – last year, The Wellwood served 87,000 people who arrived by car and boat (there's a 50-slip dock out back for patrons). Metz is happy to show customers around the dining rooms that also serve as a museum. The curio cabinet holds ceremonial china and silver from various Washington events – many pieces from JFK. There are plenty of paintings and historic documents. There's a lamp donated by Coolidge, and a carved eagle from the White House, donated by Teddy Roosevelt when his office was being renovated.
Wellwood Fried Chicken Charlestown MD
Yes, the Fried Chicken is as legendary as they say; tasty, moist and crunchy ($11.99 for 4 pieces), but you'll also find other fantastic dishes like the Local Fried Yellow Tomatoes dredged in buttermilk topped with sweet crab corn salsa with crab and apple cider reduction ($12.99), and plenty of seafood. If you want to bash and pick at some boiled crabs on papered tables to your hearts content, you can do that in the Club Room or in the separate picnic like River Shack.
Chesapeake Inn Scene MD
EAT: Chesapeake Inn, Chesapeake City. There is so much going on in this canalside eatery – boats pulling up to several docks, the Tiki Bar in full swing, "The Deck" a casual outdoor eatery thrumming with young bloods, and an almost hushed fine dining room upstairs – you almost forget that you've come here for the food and service.
Chesapeake Inn Deck Chesapeake MD
Say hi to Tommy, one of the best bartenders on the Bay, then order a Special like the hot salmon with cool tzatziki topping – a standout, or "Naked Fish" with your choice of Sicilian, Orange Ginger Basil, Creole, Blackened, or Chesapeake with Crab Imperial and Lobster Sauce. The Chesapeake Inn (which has no rooms), has been expanding over the years, and from the looks of it, brings a lot of attention to this small town.
View from Patio The Bayard House, Chesapeake City MD
EAT: The Bayard House, Chesapeake City. The quiet antidote to the Chesapeake Inn, you can watch boats slip by on the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal – right outside the window of this surprisingly good restaurant. Appetizers like the crunchy-tasty Duck Eggrolls ($10) and Seared Yellowtail Tuna ($13) prove the chef has chops.
Prime 225 Chesapeake City MD
EAT/CHESAPEAKE CITY: Locals also love Schaefer's on the far side of the channel for waterfront views practically under the C&D Canal Bridge; The Tap Room – a real old fashioned rustic crab house (cash only); and Prime 225, considered by many to serve the most innovative and sophisticated cuisine in town.
Spork Elkton MD
EAT: Spork, Elkton. Spork is adorably barn-chic, with its reclaimed barnwood counter, mongo Cinnamon and Sticky Buns, fresh frozen lemonade, amazing just-picked greens in creative salads, soups, and sandwich – all from scratch. My favorite – the Corn Quinoa Red Onion Salad, which put the overexposed grain back on my "eat" list.
Woody's North East MD
EAT/NORTH EAST: Locals love Woody's, which effectively turned the town into a tourist destination with its crab fests and steamers; Chesapeake Bay Coffee Co, for donuts and fresh-roasted coffee; Station Ale House in an old fire house offering live music and hearty food; Beans, Leaves, Etc. – the first coffee house in town; Steak & Main for high-end dining, reputed to have the "#1 Steak in America" according to the Travel Channel; and Porthouse Grill for what some call the "best crabcakes in the region" (an oft-made claim in these parts).
Chateau Bu De Winery Chesapeake City MD
TASTE: Chateau Bu De Winery. The ruins of the 1660's property of Augustine Herman, a cartographer from Prague, are juxtaposed with new construction for production and wine tasting events at this popular winery, known for its Cabernet Franc, which recently won a Gold Medal in the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. Come, also, to taste other delectable blends; the Summer Flight (3 2oz pours for $10-$15) with Dry Rose (a big hit), and the lovely, picnic wine, Flagship White, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
ICE CREAM: Kilby Cream Dairy Farm, Rising Sun. Great homemade ice cream straight from the cow. It's way, way out in the country in a very rural area (it's a farm, after all!), but folks have discovered it and made it an ice-cream destination.
Where to Stay in Cecil County MD
Porch Inn at the Canal Chesapeake City MD
STAY: Inn @ The Canal, Chesapeake City. Built in the 1870's by a boatman on the C&D Canal, the Inn @ The Canal is not technically right on the canal, though you can see it from a 70 ft long side porch, and walk to its banks in a minute from the charming front porch. Now owned by Culinary Institute of America (CIA) grad, Bob Roethke and his wife Carol, it is a gracious and delicious place to bed down in Chesapeake City.
View from Inn at Canal, Chesapeake City MD
On a late summer's eve, all rooms were taken, with guests hanging out in the large study, and on front porch wicker chairs – the perfect spot from which to watch Bohemia Ave. walkers stroll by.
Guest Room Inn at the Canal, Chesapeake City MD
All 7 guest-rooms are Victorian period vignettes – each slightly different. Mine was one of the larger rooms, with carved four-poster canopy bed, antiques, floral bedding, and a clean, step-down bathroom with wooden chest of drawer sink and ceramic floor.
Inn at the Canal Breakfast Chesapeake MD
Breakfast, of course, is fantastic – a full gourmet treat, with fluffy French Toast and warm Apple-Berry compote to start. There are many tables to choose, but if available, take the small one in the bay window – a bright and sunny place to start your day. Rates $129-$259 include snacks, wi fi, and gourmet breakfast.
STAY: Shipwatch Inn. Antique-filled rooms right on the Canal, many with balconies. $104-$250 depending on size of room and time of year. And Blue Max Inn – with spacious romantic rooms and sidewalk porches, $110-$275.

Nice article, however it is "Charlestown", not "Charleston".
Jan Lockhart August 23, 2017, 10:59 am Link
I lived in Cecil County many years ago. I left in the early 1990s, when it seemed as the entire area was dying. I began hearing about the small towns coming back to life with a formula involving them being quaint, unique, and offering really good restaurants. This seems to be working wonderfully, and it really makes me happy to see it. I loved the article and the photographs…looks like I'll have to plan a visit.
Dorothy August 23, 2017, 4:30 pm Link
Malerie, you left the 'w' out of CharlestoWn on all your photo captions of 'The Wellwood.' Lovely article, otherwise!
Cassie August 24, 2017, 1:27 am Link
Perryville is also one of the main cities in Cecil County, and I've lived here my entire life!
Malerie Yolen-Cohen August 24, 2017, 7:20 pm Link
Thanks for pointing that out, Dorothy. I fixed them all! Thanks for reading and commenting as well. Malerie
Yes, I realized that and fixed it! Thanks for reading and commenting.
