Dealing with prolific bad mapping
While dealing with errors reported by Osmose, I've come across a no-longer-active mapper who added a great deal of bad data to the local map.
I don't believe this is malicious; rather, something about the user's workflow results in picking up tags from one thing he's touched, and adding them to everything else he touches in that editing session, sometimes cumulatively. See, for example, way #13922679 -- this is tagged simultaneously as a stream, a mineshaft, a Forest Service road, and an urban road.
Sometimes these errors are obvious (an open way running along a mountainside tagged as a lake and a track) and QA tools easily pick them up. Other times, however, they're subtle (a driveway tagged with three or four names, all wrong). Other than going through all 1500 edits, examining every object touched for errors, is there any way to find these problems?

Potentially, there are three issues here. One is that the user may be unaware of the problems, and may be creating more of them. The others are the question you asked above - how to detect and fix them?
Taking the first one first, if you haven't already, to try adding a changeset discussion to one of the problematical changesets. If they haven't been active for a while you may not get an answer, but its worth a try. As you say above it's likely not malicious; perhaps in this case a workflow issue with an unfamiliar editor. A changeset discussion comment is public, so other users will know that you've tried to raise the issue.
Beyond the usual list of QA sites, isn't an easy answer to "detecting problems". As you've already found, when looking at a problematical changeset where one problem has been detected, you'll often find other errors too. Sometimes you can get a feel for the sort of objects that you need to check for to detect problems in changesets - if someone's incorrectly merging ways then it might be "some deleted ways and semicolons in values". The QA site list above links to various places, including changeset-based ones, that might be useful. See also the links from here.
Fixing is generally either changeset-based or problem-based. Changeset-based approaches (such as full or partial reverts) tend to work well where someone has made a whole bunch of invalid changes relatively recently and other users haven't touched the objects in the mean time, but unfortunately that doesn't apply here. That then leaves you with what you're already doing, which is detecting invalid objects, trying to look at other cases of the same problem, and trying to fix on an object-by-object basis.
As an aside, I completely agree with your comment here about partial fixes to data where it's clear that the fixer hasn't really thought through what they were doing at all, and is simplying acting like some kind of "mechanical turk". Personally, I find that these sorts of changes tend to mask real problems from QA sites and as such are actually detrimental to the quality of OSM data. This is another similar example. Unfortunately we don't have a good answer yet to this sort of "persistent bad fixing" - but at least it's identifiable by changeset comments such as "#to-fix" followed a geometrical rather than a geographical statement.

Getaway Driver Found Guilty of Murder, Other Crimes in 2013 Short Hills Mall Carjacking
Dustin Friedland of Hoboken was shot in the head Dec. 15, 2013 in front of his wife as the couple returned to their Range Rover in the parking deck of The Mall at Short Hills
Published March 29, 2017 • Updated on March 31, 2017 at 7:50 pm
Prosecutors said Basim Henry was among four men involved in the December 2013 carjacking at The Mall At Short Hills
Dustin Friedland, a young attorney in Hoboken, was shot and killed in the parking lot in front of his wife just 10 days before Christmas
Henry served as the getaway driver, prosecutors have said; the other three suspects charged in the case await trial
The first of four men accused in a young attorney's death during a carjacking at The Mall at Short Hills three years ago has been found guilty of felony murder, conspiracy and weapons-related crimes.
Jurors delivered guilty verdicts on all counts Friday after four days of deliberations in the trial of Basim Henry, the South Orange man prosecutors said was one of four involved in the December 2013 carjacking at the high-end mall in Millburn, New Jersey, and served as the getaway driver.
Henry had faced a total of six counts in the death of Dustin Friedland, a 30-year-old Hoboken lawyer killed in front of his wife in the parking lot just 10 days before Christmas. The murder charge carries a sentence of 30 years to life in prison. Henry was on probation at the time of the killing in connection with a 2006 bank robbery conviction, which may affect the penalty.
Henry, wearing a crisp long-sleeved white shirt and cream-colored sweater vest, stood silently as the jury decision was read, lowering his head at various points but otherwise showing no reaction.
Friedland's parents and sister were in the courtroom as the verdict was read. His widow, Jamie Schare Friedland, whose emotional testimony about the ambush captivated the courtroom during the trial, was not present.
Defense lawyer Michael Rubas argued in his closing statement that Henry wasn't responsible for the shooter's actions.
Essex County prosecutors said Henry "knew force was necessary" to get the vehicle.
Friedland's family wasn't commenting on the verdict Friday but Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray thanked them for "their support of the efforts of this office, for their dignity and for their strength to see this process through."
Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Ralph Amarato said of Friedland's widow, "The road she's had to travel, I couldn't imagine being in that situation. She's a very strong young lady, she's handled it as well as anyone could expect. It's a tough road, from her night of being with the last moments with Dustin, to going through this long drawn-out process, I could not imagine that."
Neither side could immediately be reached for comment on the verdict.
The other suspects, Hanif Thompson, of Irvington, and Newark residents Karif Ford and Kevin Roberts have pleaded not guilty to felony murder and other charges in connection with the carjacking. They await trial.

The Next Wives' Club
That ring on your finger doesn't mean you can relax. Avenue investigates how to spot — and thwart — the women coming for your husband
By Lisa Marsh
Illustration by Alicia Pompei
It was a thoroughly modern fairy tale — the brainy blonde marrying the billionaire, becoming wife number four. With two young boys and homes at 740 Park Avenue, in Southampton, and in Sun Valley, they seemed to be living happily ever.
Until the next partner showed up.
Even at a social distance, the pending divorce between Charles P. Stevenson Jr. and Alex Kuczynski has been the talk of the town. The New York Post reported he "blindsided" her with papers six days before Christmas. Kuczynski herself had disclosed the couple were in marriage counseling (in a 2019 book review she wrote for the New York Times), suggesting hopes for reconciliation.
But when a third party entered the picture, divorce papers followed. A source told the Post that Stevenson is now keeping company with his new flame, a "family friend," at the isolated (and luxurious) Middle Fork Lodge in the wilderness of Idaho. But while this story is still unfolding, it's far from new. (Attorneys for neither Stevenson nor Kuczynski answered requests for comment.)
The Next Wife is a well-known character around Palm Beach, the Hamptons, and the Upper East Side. She (or he) is an attractive free agent looking for what you've got: specifically, your partner.
"Here's the golden rule of relationships everywhere: he who has the gold rules," explains Wednesday Martin, PhD, who has observed the populace of Manhattan's Upper East Side from an anthropological perspective for her book, Primates of Park Avenue: A Memoir. That environment, she says, is ideal for a Next Wife on the prowl.
"On the Upper East Side, there are two women of reproductive age for every one man. This makes men on the UES what field biologists called 'the limiting sex' and gives them a lot of power. They get to be choosy. They are the prize," she says.
Such a dynamic brings gender inequality into stark relief. And the privileged lifestyle makes it easy for a Next Wife to move in on men of means, says Paul Wilmot, a retired publicist and man-about-town who was himself a third husband to the late heiress Mollie Wilmot.
"This type of guy is on his own a lot of the time," he says — whether in the city during the summer while the family is in the country, or out at business dinners that the wife, busy with kids, schools, and her life, can't be bothered to attend.
"Once he's been married a long time, he's not the same guy as he was before," Wilmot adds, and neither is his wife the same woman.
Look at the relationship that rocked the real estate and art worlds. Out of nowhere, Harry Macklowe, 83, took up with Next Wife Patricia Landeau, 66, after being married to wife Linda Macklowe, 82, for more than 50 years.
If he were younger, conventional wisdom would scream "midlife crisis," Wilmot says, "but what is this?"
Macklowe, whom the Post says fell asleep on one of his first dates with Landeau, handed over a portion of his reported $2 billion fortune (which included a $700 million art collection) with Linda to be with the French businesswoman. To celebrate his new boo, he had a 42-foot banner photo of them both hung on 432 Park Avenue, the tallest residential building in New York, which he built. The New York Times called the move a "taunt."
Landeau, president of the French Friends of the Israel Museum and a former fashion executive, is among the new breed of Next Wife who is far more than just a pretty face. She's often someone who comes to the relationship with something different than the incumbent she unseats — a career, a business, or simply the idea for a business that needs to be funded.
Not all unions, however, take place between equals. And when social climbing is part of the equation, some Next Wives have to get creative with their tactics — like playing to the ego of their target.
One uptown woman who has brought about two divorces explains how she snagged her first husband, an entertainment executive.
"I made him feel like he was the center of my world and I became indispensable," she says. "I introduced him to my crowd — people who could help him or were interesting."
She adds, "I don't think his (now ex-) wife ever did anything to help him professionally but add her family members to the payroll. I actually made an introduction that resulted in a big deal for him."
"And I expected things in return — especially invitations to prominent events as his date, letting everyone know I was the important one, not his wife. And, you know, jewelry, first-class or private travel, clothes, trinkets to accumulate. That sent the message that I was serious."
As Jennifer Aniston may have thought when she first saw Angelina Jolie: "Yikes."
So, if a Next Wife is coming for your husband, what can you do to fend her off? The answer: take control of the situation.
"There's an old saying — nobody ever left anybody out of a warm bed," Wilmot says, urging vulnerable spouses to step up their vigilance. "When you stop communicating and stop appreciating each other, of course someone can come in."
Short of hiring a private detective to tail your husband's every move, there are a few signs to be on the lookout for. These may include new hobbies or workout regimes he suddenly becomes devoted to (a SoulCycle or barre instructor is quite a catch), new friends you don't know (and he doesn't introduce you to), or simply a lack of interest in physical intimacy.
Martin, whose current book is Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free, says more drastic measures are called for: ask for an open marriage.
She argues: "We know that other mate-guarding strategies commonly used by women on the Upper East Side tend not to work. If your husband is having sex with someone new, why shouldn't you be able to as well?
"For some husbands, being with a woman on the DL might be a lot less erotic and interesting if it were permitted. They might also find their wife a lot more interesting if she too was having sex with a new partner."
Martin adds: "Women have evolved as extremely canny sexual and social strategists. It's one of the reasons we're here as a species."

Or even a Lego family portrait DIY for the camera shy.
I promise I'm not really hinting but if anything from Heidi Swanson's Quitokeeto shop mysteriously ended up on my kitchen counter I wouldn't complain.
Like, say, this Mono Filio Teapot. I'm almost just as happy to look at her photographs on those gorgeous kitchen countertops.
And since we're on the subject of kitchens, can I tell you how much I love the Found Recipe series on All Things Considered? Last week's (Purple) Sweet Potato Gnocchi has me ready to hunt down some Stokes Purple sweet potatoes this weekend.
Frascatelli is on my radar.
I also heard wind just yesterday that Jeni Britton is coming out with a second cookbook this summer – just in time for summer birthdays! (Your guess is as good as mine as to when summer might actually start this year – spring is holding out for sure.) When the pelting ice begins on Sunday, I'll dream of delicious summer ice cream flavors, dripping in the heat.
Mad Art Gallery has a nice exhibition going on, I particularly enjoyed Travis Lawrence's work, as well as John Selberg's.
Next weekend the St. Louis Craft Mafia presents the Green with Indie Craft Show at Webster University – I'm looking forward to going with the girls (and bringing along my visiting mom as well).
My favorite vendor will be there – The Mad Magnolia Candle Co. – check out her foodie inspired candles here, and then stop in and pick one up for yourself and a few for gifts. Area favorite food trucks will be there, and the whole thing sounds like a great time. Let me know if you are going – maybe we can meet up for a cup of coffee and a spin around the booths.
I remember first being interested in reading blogs about ten or eleven years ago – around the time E was born. I followed a handful of bloggers out there writing and doing interesting things – and most were having children about the same time. A few of those early reads are no longer writing – but several are still going strong more than a decade later. Here's a roundup of the first people that got me interested in this platform.
Sweet Juniper – there were so many things I loved about Dutch and Wood (their early days monikers). Raising their daughter, Juniper, first in San Francisco, and then later in Detroit (in a fantastic Mies van der Rohe townhouse), Jim's stories about their adventures in and around the city, and his fantastic homemade costumes and play things were such a delight. His posts are less frequent now, but I still enjoy seeing what they are up to. I also love the fact that they commission a different artist each year to do a family portrait for their holiday cards.
I've always loved Hilary's creations and her writing at Wee Wonderfuls – but my favorite part was her Olive and Archie story / make along adventure. Everything she creates is so spot-on perfect, and I was thrilled when she paired up with The Land of Nod to produce some of her dolls. We own Winx (aka Brave Irene, in our house). Hilary always has the best Christmas trees, hands down.
A blog that I used to read religiously (although now retired) was The Trixie Update. It was actually one of several blogs written by stay-at-home dad's that I loved. I'm not sure how I came to follow so many of those – but it was probably because they all followed one another, and so the connections were made between blogs. I was sort of an obsessive note taker with E when she was an infant – charting her naps and her daily intake of food, and Ben's obsession with doing the same (and organizing it into detailed charts and graphs) was so fun to watch. He eventually created the Trixie Tracker – a way to keep all your own baby data organized and at the ready for analysis (if you are into that sort of thing).
Dooce has changed a lot over the years, but I still enjoy reading her posts occasionally. Her daughters are almost exactly the same age as my own girls, and their personalities are very similar. I admired her openness on the topic of her postpartum depression, something I was suffering from right along with her. I'm not a big fan of the blog-as-career path for the most part, but in between her numerous sponsored posts are still some real gems that make me laugh out loud.
I love Grace's style and eye for design trends, and I admire the way her blog has evolved over the years. I still draw more inspiration from that site than any other, and you'll see various posts referenced occasionally in my own blog.
Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli. I'm terribly, terribly sorry that I didn't mention this book before Valentine's Day, but hopefully you will forgive me after adding it to your library. The story first centers around the holiday, but it's certainly a book you will enjoy reading all year long. My mother taught elementary school, and this book was a favorite of hers. She bought it for E many years ago, and now it is a favorite of ours.
The story begins with a very quiet and withdrawn Mr. Hatch. There is a predictable pattern to his days, and a loneliness as well. He crosses paths with others, but he never interacts with them, and at first he seems perfectly content to order his life in this manner.
And then the postman shows up on his doorstep with a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary package, and Mr. Hatch discovers that he has a secret admirer. At first he doesn't even know how to react – he tries to go about his weekend chores as if nothing has changed. Except that he finally realizes that everything has changed, and the very changed Mr. Hatch becomes the most generous, fun-loving guy in the neighborhood simply because he believes that someone, somewhere, loves him. When, a few months later, a very distraught and apologetic postman shows back up at his door confessing his delivery error, the book takes a very abrupt turn, and Mr. Hatch immediately reverts back to his lonely existence. His absence in his neighbors' lives leaves such a tremendous hole that they come together to convince him that – valentine or no valentine – he is very, very loved.
The illustrations in this book were first drawn with ebony pencil on bristol plate paper and then colored over with Derwent colored pencils. Because the artist is right-handed, he starts drawing on the left side of the paper and moves to the right so that the picture won't smudge. The paper is very smooth, and only the artist knows where that mysterious texture comes from.
E and I read that and thought it was so cool. And mysterious. I love studying the details, and understanding the process behind the illustrations. I love paying attention to the objects the artist puts onto each page, as well as the ones that are purposefully left out. We love Mr. Hatch in our house, and I think you just might too.

Q: Posting object to Facebook via Open Graph with a specific date, but the date isn't working I am posting to a user's Facebook Timeline from my app, and am having some trouble with dates. The user is initiating the post to Facebook from my app. The object they are posting is an event that occurred in the last few days.
This is the post request:
RestClient.post "https://graph.facebook.com/me/app:action", :access_token=>access_token_here, :object=>object_url, :tags => some_tags, :start_time =>"2011-11-08T04:00:00Z", :end_time => "2011-11-08T05:00:00Z"

After I do this for my own Facebook account, the event appears, in the Facebook activity log, in the current date, not the date specified by the start_time.
I have also tried using epoch time, but there's no difference:
RestClient.post "https://graph.facebook.com/me/app:action", :access_token=>access_token_here, :object=>object_url, :tags => some_tags, :start_time =>"1320724800", :end_time => "1320728400"

What am I doing wrong?

A: Have you tried writing the date in different formats, especially this one:
:start_time =>"2011-11-08 04:00:00"

I'm using this format to post dates to Facebook and it's working as expected, without timezone issues.

A: Did you also try it without timezone information (without the Z)?
Here is the code which worked for me (javascript):
function postRestaurant() {
    FB.api('me/MY_APP_NAMESPACE:have_lunch?\
    start_time=2000-12-12T04:00:00&\
    expires_in=7200&\
    restaurant=' + OBJECT_URI), 'post', function (response) {
        if (!response || response.error) {
            console.log('postRestaurant: Error occured => ' + response.error.message);
        } else {
            console.log('postRestaurant: Post was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
        }
    });
}

A: We experienced issues where FB is ignoring the end time  and posting all actions as past tense instead of future.
This has been raised as a bug. as a workaround weve set the verb as future tense for both... for now.

Siegfried & Roy
Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn
Siegfried & Roy, everyone knows the name. This dynamic duo became the most popular performers in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. They earned a reputation that was known worldwide.
Both Roy and Siegfried spent their early years in war torn Germany. They both suffered great hardships in their youth, their were shortages of food, clothing and shelter.
Siegfried Fischbacher was born on June 13, 1939, in Rosenheim, Germany.
Roy Horn was born on October 3, 1944, in Nordenham, Germany.
As a youth Roy gain a great love and fascination for animals. Roy's mother had two good friends, Emil and Paula, Emil was the founder of the Bremen Zoo. After learning of Roy's interest in animals, Emil gave young Roy complete access to the zoo and it's library. At age ten Roy was spending every day at the zoo and absorbing everything in it's library.
Siegfried, had very different interest. When he was eight years old, young Siegfried saw a book in a shop window, it was a book on magic. Siegfried decided he had it, however the book was selling for five marks, a small fortune at that time. He ran home and told his mother, who explained that five marks could not be spared Disappointed, Siegfried left the house and walked along the sidewalks in gloom. Amazing things happen when fate take a hand. AS he walked along he looked down, and there laying on the sidewalk was a five mark note. Siegfried rushed to the book store and bought the book. As soon as he got home he began studying it and practicing magic.
In 1956 at age seventeen Siegfried left home, and found a job as a dishwasher small hotel in Lago di Garda, Italy. After a few months at the hotel, he got a job aboard a cruise ship, the TS Bremen. While working on the ship he would show crew members a few magic tricks. One day the captain was watching with curiosity, The captain was quite impressed and asked Siegfried to start entertaining the passengers. Siegfried had begun his professional career.
Once Roy and Siegfried met, the combination of magic and exotic animals was inevitable. Siegfried designed and built illusions and Roy raised and trained their animals.
Their act received great attention and soon they found themselves as Las Vegas headliners, the top of their profession. And then;
On October 3, 2003 at the hight of their career while performing on stage at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, a seven year-old 380 pound, white tiger named Mantecore suddenly attacked Roy Horn. Roy had been bitten on the neck and was bleeding profusely. He was rushed to the University Medical Center in critical condition. Horn had suffered severe blood lost and was partially paralyzed. Their stage show was closed, and an era of Las Vegas Entertainment ended.
Through years of painful rehabilitation, Roy was able to walked own his in 2006. The performers made several stage appearances after the accident, but retired from the stage in April of 2010.

I realize this happened about two weeks ago, but I'm just getting around to posting about it now. Dane and I went down to PA for the wedding of Derek and Sandie's wedding at the end of May. It was at the groom's home, which is beautiful. We had the best time with everyone!
OK, so first of all, I did my own hair and I was very impressed with myself. I even made that little flower myself.
Me and my future hubby looking handsome.
Waiting patiently for the bride and groom to make their entrance.
How beautiful is she? I think everyone immediately started crying when she came out with her father. I can't get over how perfect that dress is for her.
Such a beautiful couple. The officiant was Kyle, a friend from Penn State. It was really nice to have someone that is so close to the couple preside over their wedding. He made it really fun for them.
The boys had a very good time together. Here's Dane with Drew and Jayneel who will be his two best men at our wedding in November. Couldn't ask for better!
It was a long night of dancing and merriment. Kevin and Leilani are also getting married this year in August. We had a blast with them.

Serrano Hams produced from white pig breeds, and Teruel is one of the main producing areas where the ari is cool and dry - perfect for curing. It is often called the mountain ham and the name Serrano derives from 'de la Sierra', the high Spanish mountain area.
Iberico is the region from which the ham is produced, from Pate Negra, or black pigs, that roam the Dehesas - the cork oak forest in South Western Spain and feed exclusively on acorns to give a unique nutty flavour to the meat; This is Bellota ham.
Recebo Ham is from the same breed of pig, but is fed on mixed grains as well as acorns, both are cured from 18 to 36 months.
Parma Ham PDO has to be produced from pigs that are reared, slaughtered and processed in a designated area around the town of Parma, Northern Italy. Proscuitto is produced in exactly the same way, but can be produced anywhere in Italy. San Danielle ham is a much fatter ham produced in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Eastern Italy.
We also have Bayonne ham from South West France, Blackforest smokey hams from Germany, Carmarthen ham from Wales, and we can also obtain the famous Cumbrian air cured ham.

Louth & Sligo Musical Ambassadors to perform at EU Presidency Event
On Thursday 14th March young musicians from counties Louth and Sligo will join forces to perform for international delegates at a Department of Education and Skills event organised as part of Ireland's EU Presidency. In the spotlight at this event, which takes place at Trinity College will be, Sligo harpist Niamh McGloin and Louth's Ceoltóirí Óga Dhún Dhealgan from Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Craobh Dhún Dealgan. These young musical ambassadors have been nominated by both Louth and Sligo Music Education Partnerships to represent their county on this national platform.
Niamh McGloin started playing Traditional Irish music at her local Comhaltas Branch in Sligo at the age of 7. She started playing button accordion and took her first harp lesson with harpist Gráinne Hambley at the age of 11. She has represented her local Comhaltas Branch in Grúpa Cheoil and Céilí Bands at Fleadh competitions and is a double all Ireland winner on Traditional Harp in under 12 and under 15 age groups.

5 Big Decisions Southgate Will Have to Make
The FA have given Gareth Southgate a huge vote of confidence by appointing the former under-21 coach as the permanent manager on the senior national team on a four-year contract. The 46-year-old picked up two wins and two draws during his interim spell following the sacking of Sam Allardyce earlier this year.
England fans will be hoping Southgate can lead the Three Lions to the World Cup in Russia in 2018, but before then the new manager has some big decisions to make. Let's look at them in detail.
1. Who will captain the national team?
There have been some rumours that if Southgate was to get the England job on a permanent basis, one of his first tasks will be to strip Wayne Rooney of the captaincy for undermining him recently by drinking into the early hours.
Jordan Henderson has been tipped to be Southgate's next captain. He has picked up the armband before when Rooney has been absent from the team but it now looks like he will be next permanent leader of the team on the pitch. (more…)

Forget Jesus, Here is Arsenal Forward Who Caused More Problems For Leicester Defenders
By Sportspunditry (self media writer) | 5 months ago
Gabriel Jesus was outstanding for Arsenal today as he scored two goals and provided two assists to help the team win their second match of the season. The Brazilian star failed to score in the first match of the season but was the best player for Arsenal today.
The Gunners thrashed Brendan Rodgers men Leicester City today at the Emirates stadium. Arsenal took home the three points in the 4-2 victory over the Foxes to move second behind Manchester City in the table but level on points.
Mikel Arteta's side started the match well and took an early lead in the 23rd minute through a brilliant strike from Gabriel Jesus before he doubled the lead 12 minutes later through a header.
Leicester City pulled a goal back after the start of the second half through William Saliba's own goal but Granit Xhaka restored the two-goal advantage for Arsenal two minutes later after a mistake from the Foxes goalkeeper Danny Ward.
James Maddison scored the second for the visitors in the 74th minute but Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win for Arsenal with a spectacular strike in the bottom corner.
Gabriel Jesus was amazing today but his fellow countryman Martinelli was unstoppable for Leicester defenders and they struggled to play against him.
Martinelli was electrifying down the left wing and despite scoring only one goal made a great impact in the match for the Gunners. His pace, dribbling, creativity, and chances created helped the Gunners match in the attack.
Martinelli came close to scoring more goals for the Gunners in the match but he was unlucky. The 21-year-old winger was amazing for Arsenal today and he will be the best player for the Gunners this season.

Red Dead Redemption multiplayer detailed in Dutch gaming mag
Looks like Gamer.nl Magazine has the scoop on the multiplayer mode in Red Dead Redemption, which Rockstar has promised to unveil on April 5.
According to the magazine, which has been out for about a week now, the multiplayer is without a lobby and instead starts out in free-roaming mode.
Here's a excerpt from the mag:
Read Dead Redemption has an extensive multiplayer mode. Instead of a lobby, it begins with a free-roaming multiplayer mode where players can run freely through the game world. They can form gangs with other players they meet there, and this transition can be computer controlled bandits.
Sounds awesome so far, right? Well according to the magazine, you and your gang can also do a bit of hunting or horse keeping as well.
There is also a Gold Rush mode, where it's every man for himself as players try to collect as many bags of gold as possible.
A tradition deathmatch mode and a variant of Capture the Flag will also be included.
As if we couldn't wait enough for this already, now the wait until May will be even harder.
You can get an idea of what folks think of the game so far in our previews round-up here.
Thanks, Dutch.

P.S. One more anime I've watched exactly where I felt the same way like this (in mentioned evaluation) is Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko. I've given it an eight simply because it was undertaking nicely during the early half of the film but then gotten crazy for the duration of the rest of it. If you guys know what's wrong with me and what is something I can improve on when watching these varieties of films to get what's going on, I'm all ears.Eventually, there is very tiny in B: The Beginning" that anime fans haven't seen time and once again. Streaming solutions like Netflix supply the guarantee of delivering fresh, original content, but B" wouldn't feel out of location on any television programming block — and I'm not confident it would stand out even there.Now that you have done all of steps, you are ready to preview to see what your animated brief looks like. In case you have just about any queries with regards to in which as well as the way to utilize click the following webpage, you can contact us with the web page. You can do so by going up to the menu buttons up at the best of windows movie maker. You should see an alternative that says "PLAY" at the top. click the following webpage on play. Then a drop down rectangle need to pop up. click the following webpage on the 3rd option that says "PLAY TIMELINE". Then you must see your movie play by image by image.The penultimate episode of Berserk season two aired in Japan — and on Crunchyroll , which simulcasts the anime stateside — last week, and some of its most memorable scenes are nonetheless creating the rounds on Twitter. The reason: their animation. Netflix's B: The Starting is a visually spectacular anime with amazing action sequences and memorable heroes. Although the villains are forgettable at times, the series is filled with enough mystery and intrigue that left me wanting more.I had my reservations about watching Gintama, especially after watching the initial handful of episodes. Nevertheless, when I got through them, the show started to get a entire lot funnier and greater. It seems that writer wasn't as well confident in his perform in the starting but when he began to see how effectively his work can be, he started to take risks and came up with some of the greatest comedy and action arcs that I've ever observed.This is the third anime season of the click the following webpage series and is set two years soon after the CCG's raid on Anteiku. It will follow Haise Sasaki, a member of a special anti-ghoul CCG group whose member have fused with their Quinque and have turn out to be half-ghoul.When Netflix sends you an email telling you that they've added a Television series or movie you may well be interested in, you at least take a appear at it, proper? Such was the case with the arrival of the new (to the platform) anime series Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler We glimpsed a teaser for the series final August, but that's the last we'd heard of it. The premise sounded very good, the animation looked solid, and if it was anything like the platform's recent release of DEVILMAN: crybaby , then it'd be worth a watch. But soon after binge-watching all 12 episodes, Kakegurui is extremely clearly for particular audiences and not other folks I'm squarely in the latter camp.The mundane each day life of Fireworks" makes the teensiest bit of the wonderful look all the more romantic, but the film never entirely pops. It is as though filmmaker Akiyuki Shinbo (and co-director Nobuyuki Takeuchi) are waiting patiently for their characters to grow up and deal with the actual planet, and are only passingly intrigued by their immature tendency to run from their issues and to think about a planet where they're prouder of themselves.As with all our anime reviews, this post includes spoilers - in this case about the Yet another anime series and by extension the An additional light novel. In truth, I consider the show should have ended at Christmas. Christmas is a magical time of the year and the excellent, albeit cliché, moment for romances to come to fruition. When Yuzu rejected Mei's feelings, it felt like the show took a step away from the expected to attempt and add a bit of drama, but the resulting story arc with Sara felt totally pointless and ill-conceived. To think that Sara could fall in enjoy with Mei at very first sight and then turn into a love rival to Yuzu, all even though ignorant of the fact that Yuzu liked the identical girl she did was a good try at adding further drama, it genuinely felt unneeded. It came across as just filling airtime to fulfill their 12-episode obligation to the network.And that soundtrack. This anime's score is beautifully composed. Casting a net of elegance and serenity that encompasses the show, it is so nicely complimented with the beautiful animation. Very nicely refined and really nicely loved from me. Black Clover is one particular of the leftover anime from Fall 2017. The Jump series is going straight to its second cour.As with all our anime testimonials, this post contains spoilers - in this case about the An additional anime series and by extension the One more light novel. The greatest sorts of teen motion pictures must feel utterly discombobulating—at once overwrought and humdrum, screamingly funny and deadly significant, with magic bleeding in around the edges. How else to effectively capture the continual pulse of hormones, drama, and rhapsodic bouts of idealism that comes with adolescence? Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, a Japanese anime film arriving in U.S. theaters Friday after becoming an international box-office sensation, is a single of the very best teen films I've noticed in years. It really is a beautiful mix of the wonderful and the mundane that blends time-travel, body-swapping, and an enchanted bottle of sake into a story that somehow never ever loses hold of its wonderfully rounded protagonists.


Scouts like fire. Scouts like to burn stuff. Trying to make water flow uphill would be easier than changing that fact. At summer camp, scouts I know have had a tradition for the past 5 years of tying a small stuffed animal to a post and burning it at the stake. This started with those little beanie babies that were available at McDonalds. Every year someone has pulled one out of a pack - I just hope they aren't part of a little sister's collection.
Since scouts enjoy fire so much, ensuring they respect it and can manage it should be our goal. I encourage fires all the time and there's never a lack of volunteers to give it a go. Usually, a scout starting a fire has a gallery of advisors, whether he wants them or not. Once scouts are able to lay, light, tend, and extinguish fires properly, I challenge them to start a fire in more interesting ways.
There are dozens of aids to make a fire light faster, such as candles, dryer lint, potato chips, and purell. See Fire Helpers for a list. But, all of these need a spark, flame, or ember to get going. That is the challenge - how do you generate the heat source?
The different ways I've used to create the initial heat for a fire are Sparks, Friction, Sunlight, and Electricity. Electricity stored in a battery heats a filament such as fine steel wool until it burns. Sunlight is concentrated to a point with a magnifying glass until it ignites the tinder. Using a bow drill or hand drill to "rub two sticks together" causes friction which creates a smoldering ember. Flint & Steel creates a spark which is caught in fine tinder to produce an ember. These are all fun ways to create fire and some work better than others, depending on the weather and environment. Most of them take lots of patience, time, and physical effort.
I was just introduced to an extremely interesting, and fairly easy, way to create an ember without matches. In a diesel engine, air is compressed to produce heat. Did you know that by compressing the air around you into a small enough space, it will become hot enough to ignite tinder? There are now fire starters called Fire Pistons which do this exact thing, almost like magic.
Jeff sells finished fire pistons as well as kits so you can make and carve your own. I've got two kits. My plan is to whittle them with our troop number and give them as Eagle Scout gifts. Jeff has a new Scout Fire Piston Kit with special prices for Boy Scouts. They aren't cheap, but the actual product is not cheap either. The solid coco bolo wood feels great and polishes up just beautifully. They are very solid with nothing to break if it gets dropped or even thrown across a campsite. The kits are simple to assemble and then scouts can whittle, sand, or carve however they like. They are a terrific activity for a patrol or the whole troop, especially in late winter getting ready for spring camping. There is a special bonus deal for scouts that order 20 kits that you should check out.
Here's a short video showing a fire piston in action. There are many other videos on Wilderness Solutions site.

HomeBusiness & EconomyWhy I left bank job after five weeks for business – Jane Jacobs CEO
Why I left bank job after five weeks for business – Jane Jacobs CEO
December 1, 2018 Business & Economy
A dynamic entrepreneur and visionary leader, Mrs Olamide Alabi- Jacobs, also the Chief Executive Officer of Jane Jacobs, has said the urge to become self-dependent ignited her dumping her bank job for a fashion business after five weeks without resignation.
According to her, despite clinching a Master's Degree in Human Resources at University of Salford, UK, she has delved into several businesses and teaching to impact leadership principles among the people, especially women, noting that she started doing small scale business right from her part one in the university.
"Being an entrepreneur and teaching people to embrace the principles of leadership will have an enormous impact on personal and communal growth, because everything rises and falls on leadership."

"People really needed to know that there are principles that could make them successful and I'm so happy that today I have been able to impact many lives with my coaching, especially women who have endured abusive relationships," she said.
She, however, revealed the necessity to be well-informed about a business before delving into it and why leadership skills were important in business.
Her words: "I later decided to learn more about the business world and discovered that leadership skills are necessary to succeed in any given area of life such as marriage, vocation, relationships and spiritual life. So, I decided to learn more about leadership."

Considered one of the most common electrical wiring inquiries is on how to wire a change. Although making use of switches in the home is fairly effortless, wiring a single might not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You can find different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common switch (as well as the easiest).
There are actually three shades of wires within a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them about the terminal screws - a person on major plus the other within the base screw of your switch. The white wire serves to be a resource of uninterrupted electrical power and is particularly ordinarily related into a light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the environmentally friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective swap.
These ways would typically be adequate to create a normal change work and not using a dilemma. Nonetheless, if you are not self-assured that you can carry out the undertaking thoroughly and safely you greater allow the pros do it instead. After all, you will find a cause why this task is without doubt one of the most frequent electrical wiring inquiries requested by plenty of people.
For some rationale, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan can be amongst the most widespread electrical wiring issues. To simplify this process, you should utilize one swap for the single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it truly is only a subject of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan on the black wire from the swap. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire really should be connected to the black wire on the switch also.
There are actually causes why these are generally essentially the most commonly asked electrical wiring questions. Just one, numerous feel it can be straightforward to complete, and two, these are the prevalent electrical responsibilities at home. But then you must not put your safety at risk inside your goal to save money. The stakes could even be considerably greater should you make an effort to spend less and do an electrical wiring work without having enough awareness or experience.

Asteroid passes Earth, while Meteor streaks over Russia
By Adam Morris March 20, 2013 Updated: March 20, 2013 No Comments2 Mins Read
Asteroid passed close to Earth
On the night of last Friday, the 15th of February, an asteroid the size of an Olympic swimming pool shot by us, travelling at 8 miles a second, and skirting just below the level of many television satellites. NASA estimated that if asteroid DA14 had hit Earth, the resulting impact would have been 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Thankfully, there was little chance of that, the trajectory of the asteroid had been plotted soon after it was spotted by amateur astronomists, and found to steer just clear of Earth. No need to send Bruce Willis up just yet, then.
Meteor streaks across Russia and leaves over 1,000 injured
Just hours before the asteroid pass, a meteor streaked across the Russian Urals, causing damage to 3,000 buildings and leaving over 1,000 injured. The meteor, about the size of a bus and weighing 7,000 tonnes, caused a sonic boom as it passed at 33,000 mph through the atmosphere and shattered 18-32 miles above the ground. The resulting shock wave was as powerful as a nuclear bomb.
Due to the difference in speed between sound and light, the shattering meteor could be seen before it was heard. Locals in Chelyabinsk reported seeing a flash of light, at one point brighter than the sun, before rushing outside to investigate, but just a few minutes later the shockwave hit, shattering windows and causing many to be injured by the flying shards of glass and exposed to the sub-zero Russian winter.
Russian politicians were quick to respond, with President Vladimir Putin saying "We need to think about how to help the people and do it immediately", and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin stressing the importance of developing protective interception weapons to control future events.
But catastrophic as this event was, it could have been worse. Vladimir Chuprov of Greenpeace Russia thinks the risks of the region have been underestimated, pointing out that the meteor hit only 60 miles from the nearby Mayak nuclear facility, which holds tons of weapons-grade plutonium.

Average age of onset for schizophrenia: What to know
Medically reviewed by Karin Gepp, PsyD — By Zawn Villines on January 3, 2022
Early onset
Late onset
Schizophrenia causes changes in a person's thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually appear when people are in their 20s, though the average age of onset can vary.
One 2020 study found an average schizophrenia age of onset to be between 13.78 and 29.28 years old. Environmental, genetic, and other factors may affect the age of onset.
Additionally, the age of onset for schizophrenia may affect the condition's course. Most studies show, for example, that people who develop schizophrenia in childhood or adolescence have more symptoms.
In addition to the onset of schizophrenia symptoms, many people with schizophrenia experience a prodrome. This is a group of mental health symptoms, such as depression, mood swings, and irritability, that may be present for months or even years before full-blown schizophrenia appears.
A 2014 study suggests that the schizophrenia prodrome may appear up to 9 years prior to the onset of the condition.
Knowing the average age of schizophrenia onset reveals little about whether or when an individual might develop this condition.
Keep reading to learn more about the average age of onset for schizophrenia, including early onset, late onset, and some early symptoms of the condition.
Average age of onset

Symptoms of schizophrenia usually appear late in adolescence or early in adulthood.
However, less noticeable symptoms of schizophrenia, such as erratic moods or depression, may occur many years prior to diagnosis. Doctors call this a prodrome. Prodromal symptoms may indicate that a person has a higher risk of developing schizophrenia.
Adults of all ages may have symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it is rare for symptoms to appear for the first time after the age of 40. Schizophrenia in children under the age of 12 is rare.
The typical age of onset for schizophrenia symptoms is in the 20s, though people may develop other symptoms as early as 9 years before diagnosis. A 2020 study found the average age of onset for schizophrenia to be between 13.78 and 29.28 years.
What is early-onset schizophrenia?
Early onset of schizophrenia occurs before a person's 20s. It is very uncommon for children under the age of 12 to have symptoms of schizophrenia. Doctors call this very early-onset schizophrenia.
Early-onset schizophrenia occurs in teenagers ages 13–18. It is more common than childhood schizophrenia, but it is still fairly uncommon.
Numerous studies on early-onset schizophrenia have reached mixed conclusions about the course of the condition. However, more recent research suggests that symptoms tend to be more severe when they appear early in life.
A 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis correlated early-onset schizophrenia with:
more hospitalizations
more relapses
more negative symptoms
less social functioning
less employment functioning
less overall functioning
A 2014 study suggests that exposure to more environmental risk factors for schizophrenia in people with a genetic predisposition to the disease might cause symptoms to appear earlier in life.
What is late-onset schizophrenia?
As much as 20% of people with schizophrenia develop symptoms after the age of 40, usually between the ages of 40 and 60. This is late-onset schizophrenia.
There is ongoing debate about whether this is the same disease, with the same risk factors, as schizophrenia that occurs prior to midlife or early-onset schizophrenia. A 2014 study highlights research suggesting that later onset of schizophrenia could be a unique disease subtype.
Very late-onset schizophrenia appears for the first time after age 60.
A 2018 study emphasizes the link between late-onset schizophrenia and other neurological disorders, such as dementia. People with late-onset schizophrenia are three times more likely to have dementia than their same-age peers.
Therefore, late-onset schizophrenia could be a risk factor for dementia.
Late-onset schizophrenia could also be a prodrome of other diseases. For example, it could be an early manifestation of certain types of dementia.
Early signs and symptoms
Schizophrenia affects a person's ability to think clearly and to draw accurate conclusions about the world around them. The symptoms include:
hallucinations, or perceiving things others do not
delusions, or thinking things that appear to be untrue
changes in the expression of emotions
cognitive issues
difficulties in relationships with others
atypical or socially unacceptable behaviors
Some, but not all, people who develop schizophrenia have other mental health symptoms before schizophrenia symptoms appear. These may include:
sleep difficulties
obsessive and compulsive behaviors and thoughts
Learn more about the stages of schizophrenia here.
Like other mental illnesses, schizophrenia has complex biological, social, psychological, and developmental roots.
Genetics play an important role. A 2021 article reports that if both parents have schizophrenia, a person has a 40% chance of developing the condition. When one identical twin has schizophrenia, their twin also has the condition in 46% of cases.
While a person cannot change their genes and this data points to the important role of genetics, it also shows that genes are not the only — or even necessarily, the most important — factor.
Recent research increasingly treats schizophrenia as a developmental condition, which means that factors that occur during development can increase the odds of schizophrenia, especially in people who are already at a genetically high risk.
A 2014 study found a correlation between environmental risk factors in people at a higher genetic risk for schizophrenia and the later development of schizophrenia symptoms.
Some early developmental risk factors include:
inadequate prenatal nutrition
infection in the gestational parent during pregnancy
oxygen deprivation at birth
cannabis use
Minimizing these risk factors may reduce the risk of developing schizophrenia. Quality prenatal care, access to healthy food and support during pregnancy, and support to ensure people only become pregnant when they are ready to care for themselves and the pregnancy may all reduce the risk of schizophrenia.
Similarly, measures that reduce the risk of childhood trauma, such as by reducing childhood poverty and supporting at-risk families, may help.
The correlation between cannabis use and schizophrenia is not clear, but people with a family history of the condition may wish to avoid cannabis, even medical cannabis.
Schizophrenia is a chronic illness that usually lasts a lifetime, though treatment can manage symptoms. Some people find full relief with treatment, while others may relapse or have to try several different treatments before getting any relief.
While the average age of schizophrenia onset can help with deciding how likely it is that a person's symptoms stem from schizophrenia, people of any age can have schizophrenia.
Age is not a good predictor of schizophrenia risk, since many factors influence individual schizophrenia risk. There is no age at which the risk of developing schizophrenia disappears.
Many people with schizophrenia do not realize they have symptoms. This is because disconnection from reality and false beliefs are hallmarks of schizophrenia. Helping a person with schizophrenia seek treatment may be difficult.
People who think they might have schizophrenia, or whose loved ones have expressed concern, should contact a mental health professional or doctor for guidance.

24 August 1956 (1956-08-24) (Paris)
102 minutes[2]
Bob le flambeur (English translation": "Bob the Gambler" or "Bob the High Roller") is a 1956 French heist gangster film directed by Jean-Pierre Melville and starring Roger Duchesne as Bob. It is often considered both a film noir and a precursor to the French New Wave, the latter because of its use of handheld camera and a single jump cut.[3]
Plot[edit]
Bob is a gambler who lives on his own in the Montmartre district of Paris, where he is well-liked by the demi-monde community. A former bank robber and convict, he has mostly kept out of trouble for the past 20 years, and is even friends with a police commissioner, Ledru, whose life he once saved. Ever the gentleman, Bob lets Anne, an attractive young woman who has just lost her job, stay in his apartment in order to keep her from the attentions of Marc, a pimp he hates. Bob declines Anne's advances, instead steering her to his young protégé Paolo, who soon sleeps with her.
Through Jean, an ex-con who is now a croupier at the casino in Deauville, Bob's friend Roger, a safecracker, learns that, by 5:00 in the morning on the day of a big horse race at the nearby track, the casino safe is expected to contain around 800 million French francs in cash. As Bob has had a run of bad luck, he plans to rob the safe, convincing a man named McKimmie to finance the preparations and recruiting a team to carry out the heist. Jean gets detailed floor plans of the casino and the specifications of the safe, and buys a bracelet for his wife, Suzanne, with some of the money he is paid for his services.
The smitten Paolo brags to Anne about the upcoming raid to try to impress her. Not taking him seriously, she lets this information slip to Marc just before the two have sex. Earlier, Marc had been arrested by Ledru for beating up one of his prostitutes, but Ledru had released him on the condition that he provide some information on a bigger crime; Marc's reaction makes Anne realize she may have made a mistake.
The next morning, Anne tells Bob what she did, and he and Roger search for Marc, but cannot find him. Marc tells Ledru that he has heard about a caper involving Bob, but needs a few more hours to obtain confirmation, so Ledru lets him go. When Bob tells Paolo about Marc and Anne, the young man finds Marc and shoots the man dead just as he is about to tell Ledru what he was able to find out. Meanwhile, Suzanne discovers where her husband got the money to buy the bracelet and decides to ask Bob for a larger share of the take. They drive to Paris, but are unable to find him or Roger. She then persuades Jean to back out of it and anonymously tips off Ledru.
Thinking that, with Marc dead, their plan is still a secret, Bob and his team head to Deauville. Ledru searches fruitlessly for Bob to convince him to abandon his plan. He reluctantly leads a convoy of armed police to the casino.
Bob enters the casino to check on things. The plan is that, unless he signals them otherwise, his team will burst in at 5:00 a.m. and rob the safe at gunpoint. He had promised Roger that he would not gamble until after the heist was over, but, after wandering around for a while, he cannot resist placing a bet. He has an incredible run of good luck, first at roulette, then at chemin de fer, and loses track of the time. Just before 5:00, he finally looks at his watch. He orders the staff to cash his huge pile of chips and hurries out the door. The police arrive as Bob's team are walking toward the casino, and a shootout ensues; Paolo is shot. Bob comes upon the aftermath and holds Paolo as he dies. He and Roger are handcuffed and put into Ledru's car, and Bob's winnings are put in the trunk. Ledru says Bob will probably only spend three years in prison, but Roger says that, with a good lawyer, he will get acquitted. Bob quips that he may even sue for damages.

Production[edit]
The film was shot on location in Paris and Deauville, with two interiors filmed at Melville's own Studios Jenner.[2] According to an interview, the film cost 17.5 million French francs to produce, though a CNC Censorship file includes an estimate of 32 million French francs.[2]
Release[edit]
Released in Paris on 24 April 1956,[2] Bob le flambeur took in 221,659 admissions in Paris and 716,920 admissions in France as a whole, and was Melville's lowest grossing film at that point in his career.[4]
Critical reception[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (March 2015)
Vincent Canby, writing for The New York Times in 1981, noted that "Melville's affection for American gangster movies may have never been as engagingly and wittily demonstrated as in Bob le Flambeur, which was only the director's fourth film, made before he had access to the bigger budgets and the bigger stars (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon) of his later pictures."[5]
The film received positive reviews when it was re-released by Rialto Pictures in U.S. cinemas in 2001. Roger Ebert added it to his Great Movies list in 2003.[6]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97%, based on 30 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10; the website's critical consensus reads: "Majorly stylish, Bob le Flambeur is a cool homage to American gangster films and the presage to French New Wave mode of seeing."[7]
Remake and influence[edit]
The Good Thief, an English-language remake of the film written and directed by Neil Jordan, was released in 2002.[8]
Bob le flambeur also has influenced such films as the two versions of the American film Ocean's Eleven (1960 and 2001) and Paul Thomas Anderson's Hard Eight (1996).

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Federal regulators have approved Maine's plan to expand Medicaid, the governor said Wednesday.
The approval by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was expected but still comes as a relief to thousands of low-income residents who have applied for health care coverage since Mainers voted to expand Medicaid in a first-of-its-kind referendum in 2017.
For those who have already signed up, coverage will be retroactive to the date of sign-up, extending back to July 2, 2018, at the earliest, Democratic Gov. Janet Mills said. That's true even for those who were wrongly rejected from the program under the previous administration.
"Thank God it's there," said Bruce Arral, a prep cook in Saco who received his MaineCare card a few days ago.
Arral, 58, who said he has prostate cancer and polyps in his nose, said it's "wonderful" that he now has coverage. "I'm scared at the same time because they could take it away so quickly," he said.
Mills' GOP predecessor, Paul LePage, had blocked the expansion over concerns it would be too costly and urged federal regulators to reject the plan.
Mills estimates the state will receive $800 million in federal funding through 2021 for the expansion, and her two-year budget proposal provides another $150 million for the state's share of expansion costs.
Nearly 60 percent of voters approved the measure. Under the expansion, the state plans to extend Medicaid coverage to roughly 70,000 to 80,000 Mainers with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
"It's unfortunate that it's taken this long but we're pleased," said Robyn Merrill, the executive director of Maine Equal Justice Partners, one of the groups that led the expansion effort.
Maine has already enrolled 16,797 people for coverage since Mills rolled out expansion on her first day, and her administration says it's processed all applications dated between July 2 and January 2.
Merrill said groups like hers are also reaching out to people who could be eligible, including those who were turned down by the LePage administration.
"I think a lot of people have been discouraged," she said.
