WWE Hints At Hurt Business Reunion In WWE Raw Easter Egg [Video]
By Sondra Ruth. Published 3rd January 2023.
Back in May of 2020, MVP aligned himself with Bobby Lashley, promising to manage the star to greatness. In the following months, Shelton Benjamin and then Cedric Alexander joined their ranks, and The Hurt Business was born.
During his time with the group, Bobby Lashley went on to win both the United States Championship and later won his first WWE Championship when he defeated The Miz in a lumberjack match on WWE Raw in March of 2021. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin also found success as part of the group, winning the Raw Tag Team Championship at WWE TLC in December of 2020 and holding onto the belts until their loss to The New Day on the March 15th episode of WWE Raw.
Cracks began to form in the group following the tag team title loss, and they were kicked out of the group by Bobby Lashley. This move was heavily criticized by fans who believed the group had more to accomplish, and while Alexander and Benjamin have teamed on and off throughout various feuds, calls for a Hurt Business reunion became even more doubtful when MVP turned on Bobby Lashley and aligned himself with Omos ahead of WrestleMania 38.
WWE Raw Showed A Potential Hurt Business Reunion
During the January 2nd episode of WWE Raw, the members of Damage CTRL were shown making their way to Gorilla position during a brief backstage segment ahead of them addressing the Nashville crowd and calling out Becky Lynch. However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that in the background, MVP could be seen speaking with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, hinting that a Hurt Business reunion could finally be on the horizon.
Looks like MVP (in the background) is working on getting The Hurt Business back together. pic.twitter.com/xWetPnzIdY
— Wrestling News (@WrestlingNewsCo) January 3, 2023
During a November 2022 interview with Radio Rahim in Saudi Arabia ahead of WWE Crown Jewel, Lashley vowed that he would get the group back together, and it looks like he may be getting his wish.
"The Hurt Business was something that everybody loved, and everybody will still love. Never say never. Not even never say never. I will make sure that somehow, some way, we get back together because it seems like right now, everybody is getting back into some sort of group in the WWE. There are so many different factions coming together.
"The most important faction and one of the biggest factions for the last few years, the one that took us through the pandemic was the Hurt Business. During the pandemic, everybody else was staying at home. So many people staying at home and didn't want to go to work, so many people who took a backstep when The Hurt Business stepped up. We were every part of the show for a long time. So, I think that should get a rebirth." (h/t WrestlingNews.co)

Q: Kernel of the polynomial to function map? It's common to think of polynomials as functions, but it was recently brought to my attention that this isn't exactly right. Consider, for example $x$ and $x^7$ in $\mathbb{Z} / 7\mathbb{Z} [x]$. These are distinct polynomials, but as functions $\mathbb{Z} / 7\mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z} / 7\mathbb{Z}$ they are identical.
This made me wonder: how can we describe the kernel of the map
$
\varphi : \mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z} [x] \to A
$
given by
$\varphi(p) = (x \mapsto p(x))$
where
\begin{align}
A = \{p : \mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z} &\to \mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z} \\&\mid p \text{ is a polynomial with coefficients in } \mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z}\}
\end{align}
(Is there a more standard notation for $A$?)
The only thing I know is that when $n$ is prime, $x^n - x \in \ker \varphi$. This is just Fermat's little theorem.
Can we give an explicit characterization of $\ker \varphi$? How should we think of elements of $\mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z} [x]$ if not as functions $\mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z} / n\mathbb{Z}$.

Q: Why `final var` is illegal in Dart? The analyzer doesn't say final var is illegal.
but dart2js says final var is illegal
What is correct? Why?

A: That is probably a bug in the analyzer. final and var are mutual exclusive.
One of the following is allowed

*

*final identifier

*final type identifier

*const identifier

*const type identifier

*var identifier

*type identifier

Dart Programming Language Specification (1.2) - Variables
finalConstVarOrType:
   final type?
   | const type?
   | varOrType
   ;
varOrType:
   var
   | type
   ;

EDIT
My DartEditor (Dart VM version: 1.3.0-dev.3.2 (Mon Mar 10 10:15:05 2014) on "linux_x64") shows an error for final var xxx (Members can not be declared to be both 'final' and 'var'.)

A: The keyword var means mutable variable with explicit dynamic type specifier.
The explicit type specifier means that this is not possible specify another type in declaration.
The keyword final means val or immutable variable with unspecified type, with implicit dynamic type.
The implicit type specifier means that this is possible specify other type in declaration.
More precisely variable that declared as val are the value and variable at once.
It are variable because has the runtime storage.
But it are also immutable value that can be retrieved from associated storage just once and can be used anywhere.
Now consider the following code:
final var foo;

This is the same as the following pseudo code:
immutable mutable dynamic foo;

Of course, this will not work.

Zootopia – A Physical Accessibility Near-Utopia
March 16, 2016 March 17, 2016 Benny Vimes
CN: Mild spoilers for the movie "Zootopia" (aka "Zootropolis" in some countries) but I don't think they'll ruin the movie for you at all.
I had the pleasure of seeing "Zootopia," Disney's new animated film, on the second day it was out. Spouse and I went with little knowledge of what the movie would be, primarily because it looked cute and had a bunny as the main character. I tend to really love animated family movies.
Much has already been written about the racial politics of this film. It's excellent and really complex, working hard to tell a story about prejudice that's far more complex than movies aimed at kids usually are. It explores prejudice, and overcoming it, on both the individual and systemic scale. It shows how structures of power can be corrupt and wrong, and how those in power can manipulate the prejudice of others to build their strength. I loved it.
Additionally, I noticed something else while watching this movie. The world "Zootopia" takes place in accommodates animal characters of a huge range of sizes and shapes. All of the characters are mammals (the scientist part of me appreciated that they acknowledge this in the script), but the mammal class is hugely varied.
"Zootopia" is both the name of the film, and the name of the capital city in which most of the movie takes place. The city comprises several ecosystems, recognizing that the same environment is not comfortable for both a savanna gazelle and a polar bear. All mammals can cross these ecosystem borders, and it seems clear that the immediate downtown area is where all species interact regularly.
As the main character, Judy Hopps, sees the city for the first time we get a beautiful sweeping view of all of the ways Zootopia recognizes the needs of its different citizens. Hippos in business suits come out of the water to blowdryers. A beverage stand sends a drink up a small lift for a giraffe. Hamsters (who apparently make good bureaucrats?) come from the small mammal part of the city via habitrails.
This scene is a stunning way of showing how a community could work to make public spaces accessible to people with varying needs too. The creativity put into making the city easy to use for such a diverse group is beautiful.
The team at Disney didn't stop there. Once Judy is settled into the city and the shine wears off, the ways in which inaccessible design is used for institutional oppression become clear. There are certain places not everyone is welcome, and the spaces themselves show that. Judy runs up against this in her first moments on the job. This is something people with physical disabilities encounter constantly in our world. No ramp? You're not welcome here. Reception desk too high to see over? This establishment isn't really for people like YOU.
I applaud "Zootopia" both for displaying really creative ideas for accessibility and for recognizing the ways built environments can send messages of non-inclusion. I especially like that they included this in a broader story that's mostly about race, displaying intersectionality in a way that perfectly melds with the world building and doesn't feel preachy.

Cardin, Bipartisan Senate Task Force Secure $377 Billion for Small Businesses
(Washington, DC)—U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee and a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, today issued a statement on the $2 trillion economic stimulus agreed to by Congressional leaders. The stimulus package includes $377 billion in funding to support small businesses secured by Cardin, Small Business Committee Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Senate Aging Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.
"American small businesses are facing an existential threat. The unprecedented public health measures cities and states have taken to slow the spread of the COVID-19, while necessary to protect public health, are having a tremendous impact on small businesses in every community in America," Ranking Member Cardin said. "Congress has a duty to ensure that America's 30 million small businesses, and the 60 million people they employ, are not forced to bear the financial costs of keeping our communities safe on their own. I am grateful that Chairman Rubio, Senators Collins and Shaheen, and I were able to reach a bipartisan agreement to include $377 billion in support for small businesses in the stimulus."
Prominent measures in the Keeping American Workers Employed and Paid Act and the COVID-19 RELIEF for Small Businesses Act of 2020 make up Division A of the stimulus, which is titled the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
A description of the small business provisions in the stimulus follows:
The stimulus includes nearly $350 billion in funding for a provision to create a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that will provide small businesses and other entities with zero-fee loans of up to $10 million. Up to 8 weeks of average payroll and other costs will be forgiven if the business retains its employees and their salary levels. Principal and interest is deferred for up to a year and all borrower fees are waived. This temporary emergency assistance through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Department of Treasury can be used in coordination with other COVID-financing assistance established in the bill or any other existing SBA loan program.
The bill requires the SBA Administrator to set a cap on how much a bank can earn to process loan applications and prioritize underserved borrowers, including those in rural communities, minorities, women and veterans.
Emergency Economic Injury Grants
The stimulus includes $10 billion in funding for a provision to provide an advance of $10,000 to small businesses and nonprofits that apply for an SBA economic injury disaster loan (EIDL) within three days of applying for the loan. EIDLs are loans of up to $2 million that carry interest rates up to 3.75 percent for companies and up to 2.75 percent for nonprofits, as well as principal and interest deferment for up to 4 years. The loans may be used to pay for expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred, including payroll and other operating expenses.
The EIDL grant does not need to be repaid, even if the grantee is subsequently denied an EIDL, and may be used to provide paid sick leave to employees, maintaining payroll, meet increased production costs due to supply chain disruptions, or pay business obligations, including debts, rent and mortgage payments. Eligible grant recipients must have been in operation on January 31, 2020. The grant is available to small businesses, private nonprofits, sole proprietors and independent contractors, tribal businesses, as well as cooperatives and employee-owned businesses.
A business that receives an EIDL between January 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 as a result of a COVID-19 disaster declaration is eligible to apply for a PPP loan or the business may refinance their EIDL into a PPP loan. In either case, the emergency EIDL grant award of up to $10,000 would be subtracted from the amount forgiven in the Paycheck Protection Plan.
The bill provides $562 million to ensure that SBA has the resources to provide Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) to businesses that need financial support.
Debt Relief for Existing and New SBA Borrowers
The stimulus includes $17 billion in funding for a provision to provide immediate relief to small businesses with standard SBA 7(a), 504, or microloans. Under this provision, SBA will cover all loan payments for existing SBA borrowers, including principal, interest, and fees, for six months. This relief will also be available to new borrowers who take out an SBA loan within six months after the President signs the bill. The measure also encourages banks to provide further relief to small business borrowers by allowing them to extend the duration of existing loans beyond existing limits; and enables small business lenders to assist more new and existing borrowers by providing a temporary extension on certain reporting requirements. While SBA borrowers are receiving the six months debt relief, they may apply for a PPP loan that provides capital to keep their employees on the job. The six months of SBA payment relief may not be applied to payments on PPP loans.
The stimulus also includes a permanent fix that allows SBA to waive fees for veterans and their spouses in the 7(a) Express Loan Program, regardless of the President's budget. Under current law, SBA may only waive fees on 7(a) Express loans to veterans when the President's budget does not project a cost above zero for the overall 7(a) loan program.
Paid Leave for Government Contractors
The stimulus includes a provision that provides paid leave for employees working on small business contracts with the federal government. The measure allows agencies to modify the terms of a contract to reimburse small business contractors for the cost of providing paid leave, including sick leave, to employees or subcontractors unable to perform work on-site due to a facility closure and cannot telework.
Resources for Business Counseling Services
Many large companies are struggling to respond to the unprecedented economic disruption our nation is facing, so small businesses that have even fewer resources to dedicate to navigating the economic impacts of COVID-19 must have access to reliable counseling and mentorship services.
The stimulus provides $275 million in grants to the nation's network of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) and Women's Business Centers (WBCs), as well as the Minority Business Development Agency's Business Centers (MBDCs), to provide mentorship, guidance and expertise to small businesses. The funding will allow SBDCs, WBCs, and MBDCs to hire staff and provide programming to help small businesses and minority-owned businesses respond to COVID-19.
The bill also provides funds for the associations that represent SBDCs and WBCs to create a joint platform that consolidates information and resources related to COVID-19 in order to provide consistent, timely information to small businesses.
The SCORE mentoring program and Veterans Business Outreach Center program are encouraged to use the platform and participate in the COVID-19 education sessions for their volunteer mentors and small business counselors.

If the package installs a symbolic link /usr/share/doc/pkg1 -> pkg2, then pkg1 must depend on pkg2 directory, with the same version as pkg1.
Adding the dependency just to fix this bug is often not a good solution. Usually, it's better to include a real /usr/share/doc/pkg1 directory within pkg1 and copy the copyright file into that directory.
Transitive dependencies are not allowed here. In other words, if the documentation directory is shipped in pkg3 and pkg1 depends on pkg2, which in turn depends on pkg3, that's still an error. Copyright file extractors are not required to go more than one level deep when resolving dependencies. Each package should have a direct dependency on the package which includes its documentation directory.

The Perth Choral Institute Summer School (Schola) is an six-day course for singers aged 14 to 17. It provides an intensive but highly enjoyable week of training in singing and choral music. Participants receive individual singing lessons, group workshops, small ensemble rehearsals and multiple performance opportunities.
The core of the course is the Choir, which is made up of all participants. The Choir rehearsals will dominate the daily timetable of the course, as the ensemble prepares for two performances with the Course Conductors.
These two performances will take place in St George's College and Christ Church Claremont. One will take the form of a Evensong service, whilst the other will be a ticketed Gala Concert, which will conclude the entire course.
Both performances will feature new and often challenging repertoire, and will teach participants the various skills that an aspiring choral singer should be familiar with.
All participants will receive two thirty minute individual singing lessons from national specialists of the developing voice. The board of the Perth Choral Institute encourages participants to prepare two contrasting works that can be refined in these lessons. These can be of any style, but it singers are encouraged to have one piece that is more traditional. A professional accompanist will also be provided at most singing lessons.
Visiting specialists will also provide sessions in sight-reading and aural skills, alongside the vocal master-classes, choral workshops and optional conducting lessons. Many of these specialists form the backbone of the thriving Perth choral community; many teach at Universities, whilst others conduct the prominent choral ensembles of Perth.
The course is open to all singers aged from 14 to 17. They can be from any background and with different experiences of choral music. Participants will be asked to provide a self-reflection form when applying, but this is only as an indicator of where they believe they can improve. All applicants will be accepted into the course.
Many choral singers are required to perform repertoire as diverse as opera, motets, madrigals, jazz, masses, Gospel, plainsong, Broadway and psalms in order to sustain a career. The Perth Choral Institute Summer School (Schola) provides a first hand experience of this array of genres.
Whilst many music courses are satisfying, the Perth Choral Institute Summer School is particularly so because of the shared passion for singing and music making that not only the participants have, but the staff as well.
If you want to be involved with singing in the high level choral environment that WA provides across many genres, then this is an opportunity to learn, develop, meet new people and have fun while doing so.
IS THIS SUMMER SCHOOL A RESIDENTIAL COURSE?
The 2018 Schola course will not be residential. Instead, it will take place over six days, commencing at 13:00 on Sunday January 20th. Over the following days the rehearsal schedule will start at 09:30 and continue through to dinner 18:00. All participants of the course will be provided both lunch and dinner each day.
The final evening of the course, Friday January 25th, will see the Choir transported to Christ Church Claremont for their last performance – a ticketed Gala Concert. After a reception provided by the Perth Choral Institute, the participants will conclude the course and travel home with their families and friends.

Two years, three months, and seven days after his inauguration, Barack Obama finally offered evidence to prove his eligibility for the presidency. On the White House website, officials posted an electronic document purported to be a scan of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate. It was a grand "I told you so" moment for the media and the left, which had worked feverishly to marginalize "birthers" as the radical counterpart of the zany "truther."
Of course, there was never really any parity. Truthers constructed silly conspiracy theories about George W. Bush being an international super-criminal that orchestrated impossibly complex measures to frame al-Qaeda on 9/11. Birthers, on the other hand, merely demanded that the president, who is required by the Constitution to be a natural born American citizen, show proof of his eligibility. And in reality, that is an entirely reasonable expectation, albeit unprecedented.
Nonetheless, birthers were marginalized as fringe elements, and since the release of the electronic scan of the birth certificate, the concerns of birthers have become even more ignored in the public discourse. As an example of the how the media now views the birther movement, consider that the Huffington Post describes it as a "controversy that has been widely debunked but which remains alive in the eyes of some conservatives."
New evidence, however, has reignited conservative interest in Obama's birth certificate. Conservative icon Sherriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, at the behest of a petition presented by the Surprise, Arizona Tea Party organization, organized a "cold case posse" and completed a six-month examination of the released birth certificate in order to determine its authenticity. The results are in, Joe says, and they point to the document being a fake.
I've always been one of those who likes to preface sentences with "I'm no birther, but..." But in light of this new evidence, I certainly feel that there is a warrant for investigation to satisfy the birthers' concern, with Obama innocent until proven guilty, of course. And if that makes me a birther, then so be it.

Green Heron takes wing
By Christopher Hislop
Last year, rad trad folkies Green Heron dropped �Folk Heroes� on our musical consciousness and completely blew us away with the collection of tunes that made up that record � an effort that was put together quite quickly, but showing no signs of haste throughout the entire listen.
The songs were tight, the musicianship strong, and the vocal harmonies � swoon worthy. At the end of that seven song date, they left the listener yearning for more, and that�s what they�ve stepped up to deliver on this second go-round, the wonderfully divine, �New Pair of Shoes.�
Strings and voices soar (like a majestic green heron might) in no short order, but simple at the core. Prominently acoustic, and harmoniously stout. This is a duo you need to get into the rotation of your own musical canon � if you love roots-driven serenades accented by banjo, fiddle, mandolin and guitar.
�New Pair of Shoes� features ten tunes in total from the youthful married pair � five written by Betsy Green, and five written by partner Scott Heron. The results are magic. And the magic is good.
On Saturday, July 13th, Green Heron will celebrate the release of their new album at WSCA�s Button Factory Stage (909 Islington Street in Portsmouth) with special guests Jake Davis and Marjorie Senet. Lace up your new pair of dancing shoes and come feast your ears on one of the finest releases set to drop on 2019.
EDGE caught up with Heron to discuss the record, the RPM Challenges that served as the impetus behind its existence, and the state of acoustic music in these contemporary times.
EDGE: New record, new shoes! Did you all have any particular goals for yourselves when you set out to make "New Pair of Shoes"?
Heron: It came out of a really short-term goal: record an album in one day. We had a bunch of original songs that we'd never recorded and a couple that we hadn't even finished yet. We figured it'd be fun to get some of them down on "tape." We came out of it with a few more songs to add to the repertoire.
EDGE: This record was by-and-large a product of the RPM Challenge. What do you appreciate about deadlines? What do you appreciate about the Challenge? How did it spark creativity? Or did you have to force that part out of you(s)?
Heron: It was funny, we'd thought about doing the RPM Challenge and sat on the idea for a while. When the 28th of February came around, we spontaneously decided to go for it. That was around noon, so that gave us 12 hours to get something going. I think for us it kind of made it simpler in a way; it limited how crazy we could get with arrangements and things, and we weren't really able to "overthink." The end product isn't the most polished thing ever, but we kind of like it.
EDGE: Did you pull in any lessons that you might have learned during the process of creating your debut, "Folk Heroes" one short year ago? I mean, you made this record in 12 hours so you either stepped up to the mic knowing exactly what you were going for and how to achieve it, or you just winged it. Which, by the way, is totally fine ...
Heron: Funnily enough, �Folk Heroes� was recorded in pretty much the same way; we spent one day in the studio and did all of the recordings more or less live. The difference was we were in an actual studio, with a great guy running the equipment, and we had more time to think about it beforehand. There was definitely a good amount of winging it ...
EDGE: What's the importance of a good pair of shoes? How often do you treat yourself to a new pair of shoes?
Heron: I don't remember the last time either of us bought a new pair of shoes ... but the song was inspired by Hazel Dickens' "Working Girl Blues"; Betsy had been listening to a lot of Hazel. Side note: I did make sure to buy my only pair of dress shoes the day before our wedding last year.
EDGE: What's the state of acoustic music in these contemporary times? It seems to have experienced a boom in the last decade or so ... What does Green Heron add to the collective soundtrack?
Heron: Yeah, definitely. I don't think it's ever been better (at least since the electric guitar came into prominence). There's so much amazing acoustic music out in the wild being played and actively promoted. It seems to span both the traditional and the contemporary. We're really into old fiddle and banjo music, so a lot of what we do live feels like we're retreading stuff that's already been done. But what we're finding is that most of our audiences are unfamiliar with the old fiddle tune and bluegrass catalog. It's our chance to spread old music that we're so familiar with to new ears. And in terms of our original music, we're not really trying to write anything all that ground-breaking. We're more just adding and expanding to the American folk landscape a bit. I guess one part of the goal is to write material that can seamlessly sit next to a song written 100 years ago.
EDGE: What's the state of acoustic music in the state of New Hampshire? It's always been woven into the fabric. What's the importance of celebrating this tradition? To that, what inspired you to create Folk New Hampshire (www.folknh.com)?
Heron: We've both had a blast seeing and playing with so many fantastic musicians across the state. It seems like there's something good happening in every corner. I think it all needs to be heard and could really use a bit of a boost to connect it all together. At some point, I thought it'd be great to have a single place we're all this music could be featured properly. Being a web designer, I took a couple of days and whipped up folknh.com. It's been amazing to see the positive feedback it's received. Luckily, a little show called Granite Rodeo on WSCA picked up on the idea and started featuring a block of music that I get to curate every week! (Thanks, Chris!)
EDGE: What do you hope folks take with them after they've experienced Green Heron's music?
Heron: Hopefully they're left with a bit of a spring in their step by the end of a show or after they've heard one of our albums or even just a song or two. And maybe we've expanded a few horizons and given folks a good taste of old-fashioned American folk music. It's always satisfying to see people tap along and see a smile on their faces.
EDGE: What do you get out of this music?
Heron: We're always totally satisfied and rejuvenated by it. There's so much variety in American roots music. The songs hit all sorts of emotions: elation, sadness, excitement, introspection. And the relationships we've made with others who share our passion for the genre have been incredibly rewarding. I'm not sure there's any other style of music that fosters more camaraderie than folk and bluegrass.
EDGE: You've got a release gig slated for Saturday, July 13th at WSCA's Button Factory Stage. What excites you about it? What can folks expect?
Heron: We're really looking forward to playing some of our new songs that really haven't made it to our live shows yet. And we're of course always itching to play some fun fiddle tunes throughout the set. Hopefully folks walk away with a good cross-section of the variety we try to incorporate into the live show. We don't play in Portsmouth that often, so we're pumped to give the Button Factory Stage a go. We're incredibly lucky to be joined by a couple of friends who'll be opening up the night: Jake Davis of Jake Davis & the Whiskey Stones and Marjorie Senet, formerly of the Trashpickers. We opened for Jake's album release at the Word Barn in January, so we figured we'd get him to return the favor. And we happen to be big fans of Marjorie; we got her on board purely for the selfish reason to see her perform live!
Visit www.greenheronmusic.com and www.wscafm.org/events for more information on the music and to get tickets to the release show.

Sociology Professor Fights Senior Hunger
Posted: July 28th, 2016 ˑ Filled under: COS News, Departments, Faculty News, News, Sociology, Staff News, Top News, UCF News ˑ
James Wright, Ph.D., Pegasus Professor and Provost Distinguished Research Professor in the UCF Sociology Department is making strides for the senior community with the Table Sixty initiative.
Table Sixty is an effort led by a group of about 50 local community leaders to address the issue of senior food insecurity in Orange County. As Chairman of the Steering Committee, Dr. Wright is partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank, the Senior Resource Alliance, Seniors First, the Winter Park Health Foundation and several others to spearhead these efforts.
"This all began three years ago with the Mayor of Orlando's summit on senior hunger," explained Dr. Wright. "There was a loose understanding that there was an issue involving senior hunger. In the course of the meeting, I kept raising questions about data and as the discussion unfolded, it became obvious that current hunger programs were using data on people already taking advantage of existing food resources. The data did not capture those still in need, those not currently being served."
Through a survey led by Dr. Wright of Orange County households, it was found that of 16,000 seniors satisfied the USDA definition of "food insecure," of whom 5,000 would be considered "food insecure with hunger." Only about half the food insecure seniors were even aware of food pantries in their neighborhoods. The survey also revealed that while low income families and children suffered the most severe food insecurities, the consequences of senior food insecurity were more severe.
"The consequences of being food insecure seem to be amplified for senior citizens," explained Dr. Wright. "There is ample, clinical evidence looking at the link between food insecurity and various chronic diseases of persons over the age of 60 such as hypertension, types of cardiac issues and kidney malfunctions."
With financial support from the Winter Park Health Foundation, the Steering Committee, titled Table Sixty, was formed to tackle complexities of senior food insecurity such as affordance, lack of mobility, cooking limitations, and dietary restrictions.
The Table Sixty effort is targeting these issues in areas with high rates of senior food insecurity in Orange County such as Holden Heights, Killarney in west Winter Park and Old Baldwin Park. Each selected neighborhood had to meet certain criteria in order for Table Sixty to be viable. This included a food pantry in the neighborhood to work with as well as being near existing Meals on Wheels delivery sites.
"We settled on three pilot areas and have formed committees for each of the target areas," stated Dr. Wright. "We have been focusing on reaching out to local community organizations, churches, food pantries, and neighborhood organizations in these areas to convene a meeting and talk about the communities' view of their senior hunger problem and figure out what each community needs."
Table Sixty's growing initiative hopes to move forward in the direction of community outreach through faith based communities, volunteerism, and financial support. Mobile food pantries are also being considered along with numerous other initiatives.
"Sooner or later, we are going to have to evolve a system of volunteers to do direct home delivery, either of prepared meals or pantry items," said Dr. Wright. "I see this as a huge opportunity for UCF students and organizations to assist their community members in need."

Today started out like usual, up at 5:30am and out the door with my friend to run our 4 miles. I'm recovering from a week long cold and that combined with little sleep, made it difficult to run for about two weeks. I am hopeful to get back to my regular 6 mile route.
Most people seem surprised when I tell them I run everyday, with 4 hours (or less) of sleep. One of the difficult things about having DID is the lack of sleep. Maybe we just get used to it, but it always seems to catch up and knock me down for awhile. Those are the bad days that I call being in the pit. Now, being in the pit doesn't mean I am trapped there, it means I have been blessed with an incredible support team who climb in, rope intact, and get me out! What a blessing!
The bad days, which I call the "I don't know", because in those moments, hours, or days, I simple "don't know" what to do. Of course, in my head, I have all the answers. It somehow never computes or gets to the areas that need an answer. Unfortunately, it is a common place for those of us with DID. I am not going to let it define or break me, but it certainly shuts me down for awhile.
I'm thankful that God knows what I need before I ask or even if I don't know what to ask. He hears my groans, tears, and at times, shouting. He is always faithful, even when I am angry or feel like I'm never going to find healing. That my friends, is GOOD NEWS! Nothing, no not one thing, can separate us from the love of God!
Even though my day started out well with a run and then bible study, I hit a brick wall after therapy- crashed and burned from there. I know it is normal to have days like this, I'm not going crazy, and it is part of the process. The great thing about it is I can hit the restart button at any time. Keep moving forward and asking God for the strength you need to get through the next minute, hour, or day! Don't give up…You are worth it and deserving of the good things God wants to give you!

What is Christian Education?
Infants Class
From Our Principal
Welcome to Deniliquin Christian School! The school is fully registered and accredited with the NSW Education Standards Authority (formerly known as Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards) which means students can obtain the Record of School Achievement (RoSA) at the completion of Year 10. Our school is structured around composite classes, which assist to provide a community atmosphere and is appropriate for our size and staffing resources. While some choices, such as Elective Subjects for Years 9/10 are limited, they still meet the requirements of the NSW Education Standards Authority. We have the great opportunity to also offer distance education electives via Dubbo Distance Education.
Our school grounds are spacious, allowing for continued growth and development. Our playground is well developed and we make good use of the excellent sporting facilities available in our town such as the local Sports Stadium and Swim Centre.
We do however see our main physical asset as our people (staff, students & families) and the nurturing community we encourage. Our School remains a low-fee affordable option within the reach of all families.
Please contact the School Office if you have any further questions or if you wish to make an appointment regarding our School or your child's education. If the application for enrolment of your child is approved, we will do all we can to ensure a smooth transition into our school community.
Maryanne Jones - Principal

I stumbled across this post randomly.
Writers are nearly always defined as individuals, not movements or collectives (if they are collectives, they are rarely taken seriously). Publishers are always looking for the next best seller. Often books that are frivolous novelty items sell better than books that explore the deeper dimensions to society and subjectivity. Writers are no longer nurtured and developed by publishers over time to develop a mature and sophisticated body of work. There's less capacity in the current publishing industry to subsidise important books that don't sell in high quantities.
Writers and other artists are always expected to be in competition with each other for the limited paid publishing opportunities available. Writers are told they have to be thick skinned, determined, tenacious and prepared to sell themselves. Writers are told to develop two personalities – a business self and writing self. NOTE: Many mainstream representations of creativity involve competitions of some sort e.g. shows like The Voice, X-factor, So You Think You Can Dance, etc.. Even cooking, which should be a way for people to come together and connect, is now depicted in competitive terms (e.g. Masterchef, MKR, etc.). We consume our culture in the form of competitive battles. Therefore, as a writer, if you aren't successful, it is because you are not competitive or driven enough.
Most writers wear this paradigm and I think it makes us feel very powerless.
Of course, to a certain degree this pseudo-toughness on the part of literary agent is also a defence against being bombarded with not very good work.
My impression is that in the last 20 years or so literary types have become afraid to express anything that even smacks of Romanticism – or indeed a sense of vocation – about what they do. This manifests itself in this kind of rhetoric about "the industry" and a valuing of external achievements – this hypercompetitiveness indeed does deserve some kind of label. But is neoliberalism quite the mot juste? King-Smith's article is worth reading in full.


We enjoyed everything about our stay at the Cypress House Hotel. From the moment we checked in till when we checked out the staff, especially the front desk clerk Dennis, was nothing but helpful and courteous, going out of their way to meet our needs. The location was perfect and within walking distance of everything. The 430 liming time was a perfect chance to wind down before going out for the evening!

High Times for the Cannabis Industry: Emerging Trends with a COVID-19 Caveat
Dec 30, 2021 ● By Jim Motavalli
foxyliam/AdobeStock.com
It's fair to say that the cannabis industry has arrived. Recreational marijuana has now been approved in 17 states, and 37 have allowed marijuana for medical purposes. "We have CBD!" proclaim store signs selling the buzz-free cannabidiol. In 2020, more than 240,000 people worked in cannabis-related jobs. The Brightfield Group says the medical cannabis industry will reach $16 billion in annual U.S. sales by 2025. Cannabis market research firm Headset predicts this will be "a year of positive growth" for the industry.
Legalization and expansion are strongly in line with public sentiment: Two-thirds of Americans believe marijuana should be legal, says the Pew Research Center. Opposition has fallen from 52 percent in 2010 to just 32 percent by the end of 2019.
"Dispensaries and cannabis cafés are as commonplace as Starbucks, and ordering edibles is as easy as getting pizza," reports marketing firm Grassfed Media. The National Retail Federation noted a 700 percent increase in the demand for CBD-based products in 2019.
One caveat, however, is COVID-19. Ron Newman, a sustainable development analyst with Lee Enterprises Consulting, says the hemp/CBD business was flat during 2020 because of the pandemic. "With the economic situation, people were buying only essentials," he says. "But we're seeing the business start to come back now." With COVID-19 recovery, more growth is certain, and here are some upcoming trends.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active ingredient in marijuana that gets the user high. The natural compound CBD—said to have healing and pain/anxiety relief properties—is being heavily marketed in the form of oils, edibles (including gummy bears and lollipops), oral sprays, creams and pills. The third-most popular food-related Google search term in 2018 was "CBD gummies". CBD dietary supplements are the biggest category, followed by topical applications and third, food and beverage additives.
THC is still illegal in many parts of the U.S., but CBD cultivation and sales were legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill. California offers a model for the states in regulating cannabis. Both medicinal cannabis and adult recreational use are legal, but the industry is strictly regulated by the Department of Cannabis Control to ensure that businesses operate safely and that products are free from contamination, properly labeled and kept away from children.
Research into cannabis is an emerging field, with 23,000 papers published since 2010, and Grassfed believes that some future products will be based on "other cannabinoids and terpenes such as CBN, CBG, THCA and THCV." In addition, strains labeled indica, sativa or hybrid, or with names like Gorilla Glue and Wedding Crasher, may increasingly be replaced by a scientifically supported classification system.
Bar & Restaurant magazine wants its bartenders to know there might be THC-free CBD cocktails on their future bar menus. It reports that these drinks are "a legal grey area; federally they're illegal, but some states have their own CBD-related laws." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says flatly, "It is currently illegal to market CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it as a dietary supplement," but the agency has said it is considering relaxing this prohibition.
There's a Wild West quality to the CBD/hemp industry today. An FDA study found many CBD products to be mislabeled, with either more or less CBD than indicated. A significant number contained THC.
And then there are the laws, with federal prohibitions and state regulations, that can be quite different. For instance, New York bans CBD products with more than 0.3 percent THC, and bans CBD from any alcohol or tobacco product. So determining whether any specific product is "legal" or not in different locations is complex. But marketing benefits are plain. Wynk alcohol-free seltzer says it has "2.5 milligrams of THC and 2.5 milligrams of CBD in every can." A store locator shows pockets of availability across the country.
Jody McGinness, executive director of the Hemp Industries Association, says the FDA doesn't actually have strong enforcement powers, and that the worst thing CBD/THC legal violators can expect from the agency is a warning letter posted on the FDA website.
Gregg Sturz, co-founder of Florida-based CBD Hemp Experts, a leading wholesale provider of cannabis-derived products, says he expects the FDA to eventually approve CBD for use in dietary supplements. "I don't think they're trying to shut the industry down, just come up with some clear guidelines," he says.
Jan Nakhonkae/AdobeStock.com
The legal status of THC is such a question mark that, according to Investopedia's Marijuana Investing Guide, large banks "are currently afraid of money-laundering charges they may face if they work with these businesses … The American Bankers' Association has been pushing for more legal clarity."
Newman, who studies the medicinal uses of CBD, notes that in some cases it's being marketed as a topical analgesic for pain relief, when actually the other proven ingredients in analgesics—including methanol and camphor—are doing the heavy lifting. This situation has also produced FDA warning letters, because if CBD is claimed to relieve pain, then it is required to go through a new drug application process for efficacy.
In 2018, the FDA approved Epidiolex, an oral solution with CBD as an active ingredient, used for the treatment of rare and severe forms of epilepsy. While it's the only approved product so far, studies suggest CBD might be useful for anxiety, insomnia, skin protection and addiction.
McGinness sees the major growth area for cannabis-related products not in CBD, but in industrial hemp fiber. As hemp growers gear up in the Midwest after decades of federal bans, they're likely to expand beyond cottage clothing companies into such areas as auto and industrial parts and building materials, he says.
"Hemp products made in a green way create fewer emissions," McGinness says. "And the bioplastics made from hemp are lighter-weight, which increases fuel efficiency. I expect we'll see heartland industrial hemp grow so much it will make CBD look like a niche."

On our cross-country road trip Yellowknife in 2015, we stopped in at Moraine Lake. It was a misty afternoon with a hint of the first snowfall. I was struck by this piece of driftwood which seemed to be crawling out of the water.


Curry led Golden State to the top record in the loaded Western Conference, averaging 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, 2.04 steals and 4.3 rebounds. He also topped his own NBA record for three-pointers made, tallying 286 this season. Guy can shoot.
The honor is well-deserved, as Curry truly had a remarkable season, which he has continued into the postseason. The above video shows Curry's best moments of the year -- or, rather, some of his best moments, since it seemed like he had one or two highlight-reel plays every game. That time he crossed over Chris Paul into some other dimension? We're gonna remember that move for a long, long time. Unfortunately, so will Chris.
Below are his highlights from the Warriors' win over Memphis on Sunday, in which Curry dropped 22 points with seven assists and four steals. You know, just another night.
