Solid Rock Ranch School was established in 2001 by a group of Christian educators as a special education, private Christian boarding school and is located on approximately 20 acres in Oroville California. We have expanded our services to include home intervention and on-line computer home schooling. The school serves students that are high school dropouts and those who have learning difficulties and in need of a structured environment. We also provide education for young men who are experiencing difficulty performing in traditional schools due to behavioral problems, such as rebelliousness, authority issues, minor runaway, petty theft or shoplifting, anger control problems, and poor decision-making skills.

York veterinarians are reporting that ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, have been spotted already this year in several places, including downtown Aurora, forested trails in York Region and Jokers Hill in Newmarket.
Talking about words—on social media you use both Norwegian and English, but your songs are all in English.
Aurora is not vegan but she is a pescatarian which means that while she does not eat red meat, she eats fish, eggs, and other animal by-products. Despite not being a vegan herself, Aurora encourages her fans to become vegan if this is something they're interested in.
ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered very reliable. However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older. This delay means that children with ASD might not get the early help they need.

With a gentle but very clear voice, there's something ethereal about Aurora that goes way beyond the name and the Scandi accent, and it immediately feels like I'm speaking to a young Bjork.
An aurora is a colorful light show in the sky caused by the Sun. Auroras happen when particles from the Sun interact with gases in our atmosphere, causing beautiful displays of light in the sky. Auroras are often seen in areas near the North Pole or South Pole. … These lights are called auroras.

Darren B: CEO at UFO Recordz
Published 11 months ago - Online Editor 7
Joe Letizio Arts and Entertainment editor
What's An Average Day Look Like For You?
All days start with a cup of coffee in bed with my wife and the dogs! I then get her and the kids off to school/work before I settle into the studio. I start off by listening to demo's, setting up weekly Zoom calls, and then move onto my daily tasks. Every day is different, but I definitely see a buildup to release day on Fridays! Friday is generally a crazy day for us at UFO. We definitely have earned an after graft draught by the end of it!
What Was The First Song Or Podcast That You Post On Spotify?
"Still Alive" – Striptek, via 5howtime Music. It's a future house banger and charted in Switzerland and the UK.
Listen to it here! https://open.spotify.com/track/7HGU8aCq3DoxQrEjLHYJdA
How Did You End Up Getting Involved With UFO Recordz/UFO Network?
I was producing under Striptek in 2015 when I first met Jacques Julie, who was a great supporter of my work. He is a Saffa living in Sweden, and we quickly became friends. He wanted to open a record label, and asked if I was interested in getting involved. We wanted to showcase South African talent initially, but UFO has blown up beyond what we could have comprehended 6 years down the line!
What Was The First Video You Posted On YouTube And What Led To You Creating That Particular Video?
It was a bootleg of Alan Walker's hit song "Faded" – Striptek was a big fan of the song and wanted to put our own future house spin on it.
What Does Style And Entertainment Mean To You?
With all the bad things happening in the world nowadays, the escapism we get from entertainment and music is more important now than ever.
Style has always been an important thing to me, and I'm loving the shirts by Durban Boychee and Worn Apparel at the moment. Awesome SA brands.
If You Unplugged From Technology For A Day What Would You Do?
Spend time with my family, go on hikes, play a round of golf. But a big joke in our house is "what's a guy without his wifi?!"
https://ufo-edm.com/ea7y-music
If You Could Change Anything About The Industry, What Would It Be?
I dislike seeing artists being ripped off. Because the music industry is such a complicated one, it's easy for people to be taken advantage of.
What Led To You Choosing To Attend Maritzburg College and [majoring in Marketing]?
I grew up in Pietermaritzburg, and had always looked at Maritzburg College as a great sporting school. I applied for and was awarded a sporting bursary there. Funnily enough, it's our 20 year reunion this year – I'm looking forward to seeing all the mates again.
Was There Another Major You Considered/Did You Always Want To Do Something In Regards To Business?
When I matriculated, I was offered a soccer scholarship at the University of North Carolina. The whole opportunity fell through when I was unable to get a visa to the States. The music industry has always appealed to me though, and it was a matter of time before I got involved somehow.
What Is The Best Advice You've Been Given?
Have ethics in business!
What Are You Influenced By?
Seeing the success of record labels such as Spinnin Records and Armada Music in the electronic music industry, and wanting to get UFO to that level.
What Are Your Hobbies?
Golf, Netflix with my missus, gardening (missus again)
What Is Your Favorite Article You Got Published?
We did an exclusive interview with Timmy Trumpet – it was amazing to connect with such a big artist in the industry, and he answered our questions with such enthusiasm and depth, we were so stoked!
What Was Your First Experience As An A&R Personnel?
In the beginning, demos were few and far between. I remember signing a dubstep track by an artist called Rawjaw. I don't even like dubstep. But the production was great and we wanted to showcase up and coming talent, not only the already big guys. That's the story behind our name – "UFO" stands for Us For Others.
On LinkedIn You Mentioned That You Blogged, What Is Your Favorite Topic To Write About?
New music! I get excited to sit down in my studio on a Friday morning and listen to all the new music on Hype https://ufo-edm.com/hype and Friday Cratediggers.
What Are You Currently Working On?
We have our BIGGEST RELEASE TO DATE dropping in March, so I'm doing a lot of pre-release work setting up promotion campaigns.
We've just opened UFO Network Publishing, which adds another dimension to our UFO brand. Now we are able to directly collect royalties for our artists. We are looking to expand more into artist management in 2021.

What Elon Musk's Twitter Files have uncovered about the tech giant so far
The world of Big Tech was turned upside down when Elon Musk bought Twitter. And while his takeover has been a wild ride, no CEO of a major social media platform has taken such drastic measures to pull back the curtain than Musk with his "Twitter Files."
Musk's Twitter Files began going viral in December with each installment tackling what went on behind the scenes during the company's most controversial actions. The Twitter Files have been reported by a rotation of independent journalists and writers, who were given unprecedented access to Twitter's internal archives.
Here are the biggest takeaways from the 15 installments that have been published so far:
Twitter Files 1: Suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story
Substack writer Matt Taibbi went viral with the first installment focusing on Twitter's internal discussions leading to it censor the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election, with some officials struggling to explain how it violated its "hacked materials" policies.
Among the revelations in Twitter Files 1 was that Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., reached out to Twitter's then head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde about the "backlash re speech" and how Twitter was not adhering to "1st Amendment principles." As Taibbi noted, Khanna "was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern."
TWITTER TAKEOVER OF 2022: ELON MUSK'S WILD RIDE SINCE BUYING THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT
It was later revealed that the first batch of "Twitter Files" was vetted without Musk's knowledge by Twitter deputy general counsel Jim Baker, who previously served as the FBI's general counsel and was involved in the Russia probe. Musk fired Baker shortly thereafter.

Baker was swept up Taibbi's reporting about the suppression of the Hunter Biden story, telling his colleagues at the time, "I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked" but added, "it's reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted."
Additionally, Taibbi initially reported, "Although several sources recalled hearing about a 'general' warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there's no evidence – that I've seen – of any government involvement in the laptop story." It is unclear whether Baker's involvement in vetting the "Twitter Files" led Taibbi to draw that conclusion and whether Baker omitted files that would have shown the federal government intervening in Twitter's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Twitter Files 2: The existence of shadowbanning
For years, Twitter executives rejected claims made by conservatives that they were being "shaddowbanned," a term commonly described about Twitter users who are unaware that their visible presence on the platform is buried.
The second installment of the Twitter Files confirmed such a practice took place. The Free Press editor Bari Weiss revealed Twitter's "blacklisting" of prominent conservatives, including Fox News host Dan Bongino, Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk, as well as Stanford University's Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a longstanding opponent of COVID groupthink during the pandemic who expressed opposition to lockdowns.

Internal communications also reveal Twitter staffers admitting that the popular right-wing account Libs of TikTok never violated its "hateful conduct" policy despite being punished several times for allegedly doing so.
Those revelations appear to contradict what former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testified to Congress under oath in 2018 that Twitter did not censor or shadowban conservatives.
Twitter Files 3-5: Permanently suspending a sitting president
The third, fourth and fifth installments of the Twitter Files focused on the permanent suspension of former President Trump around the Capitol riot in January 2021.
Taibbi reported how Twitter circulated election-related tweets from various users leading up to the 2020 election that were "flagged" by the FBI as being problematic.
DEMOCRATIC REP. RO KHANNA EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER TWITTER'S CENSORSHIP OF HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY
Independent writer Michael Shellenberger revealed that Dorsey was phoning it in as he was on vacation while his deputies were pushing to deplatform Trump, with Twitter's former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth particularly spearheading efforts to censor other users pertaining to tweets about the 2020 election. It became known that Roth met on a weekly basis with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the office of the Director of National Intelligence in the weeks leading up to the election.

Weiss addressed the pressure Twitter management was facing from its employees who called for Trump's permanent suspension, though the Free Press editor also revealed several Twitter staffers who enforce policies did not believe Trump's tweets from Jan. 6 actually violated its rules.
However, it was Vijaya Gadde, then-Twitter's head legal chief, who asked if Trump's tweets could be "coded incitement to further violence." Moments later, the so-called "scaled enforcement team" suggested that based on how Twitter interprets Trump's tweets, it could violate the violence incitement policies.
Twitter Files 6: The FBI, a 'subsidiary' of the tech giant
Part six of the "Twitter Files" put a spotlight on Twitter's close ties with the FBI. Taibbi alleged the law enforcement agency was acting like a "subsidiary" of the tech giant, revealing communications that showed FBI agents systemically flagged Twitter users for tweets that included "possible violative content" pertaining to the 2020 election.

In response to the "Twitter Files," a spokesperson for the FBI told Fox News Digital, "The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors' subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them."
The FBI's routine contact with Twitter regarding users that would ultimately face punishment for their tweets has raised major flags about potential First Amendment violations.
Twitter Files 7: The FBI's 'influence campaign' to censor Hunter Biden scandal
In part seven, Shellenberger framed the Twitter's coziness with the FBI in the context of the Hunter Biden laptop story, showing the FBI's requests for Twitter to share sensitive data of its users, which Twitter refused to give, and the agency's repeated inquiries into whether Twitter has seen foreign activity leading up to the 2020 election, something Twitter at the time said it hadn't. On Oct. 13, 2020, just one day before the New York Post broke its Hunter Biden story that was quickly censored, Twitter received ten unknown documents from the FBI through its secure one-way Teleport channel.
One email from February 2021 shows the FBI paid Twitter over $3.4 million since October 2019 over the course of their partnership, as Twitter's policies seek reimbursements when it comes to producing information as part of a legal process.
ELON MUSK TELLS JACK DORSEY 'IMPORTANT' TWITTER FILES WERE 'HIDDEN' FROM BOSSES, SUGGESTS SOME WERE 'DELETED'

Yoel Roth, Twitter's then head of trust and safety, had even participated in what was dubbed the "Hack-and-Dump Working Group" with the Aspen Institute in September 2020 to elaborately simulate how the media and Big Tech should handle something like the Hunter Biden laptop.
The FBI remained defiant amid criticism, telling Fox News in a statement "The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries. As evidenced in the correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers… It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."
Twitter Files 8-9: Assisting the U.S. military and 'OGAs'
In the eighth installment, Intercept investigative reporter Lee Fang exposed Twitter's assistance in the Pentagon's foreign influencing campaigns, allowing the military to use covert accounts to push out propaganda overseas despite it being against Twitter's own policies.
Taibbi separately reported in the ninth installment about Twitter's constant interactions with "OGAs" (other government agencies) including the CIA.
Twitter Files 10: The White House's crackdown on COVID 'misinformation'
The tenth batch of Twitter Files, this time reported by writer David Zweig, focused on COVID and the platform's efforts to enforce its so-called "misinformation" policy, reporting "both the Trump and Biden administrations directly pressed Twitter executives to moderate the platform's pandemic content according to their wishes."
Citing Twitter's "meeting notes" with the Trump administration, one name-dropped then-White House Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios, who "led the Trump administration's calls for help from the tech companies to combat misinformation."
TWITTER FILES FLASHBACK: JACK DORSEY TESTIFIED UNDER OATH TWITTER DOES NOT CENSOR, 'SHADOW-BAN' CONSERVATIVES
"Areas of focus included conspiracies around 5G cell towers, runs on grocery stores, and misinformation that could stoke panic buying and behaviors," the memo read, according to Zweig.
The memo revealed other companies including Google, Facebook and Microsoft participated in "weekly" calls with the Trump administration to discuss "general trends" that were happening on their platforms.
Zweig highlighted another memo written by Lauren Culbertson, Twitter's Head of U.S. Public Policy, who claimed the Biden team was "very angry" about Twitter not taking action to "de-platform" various accounts based on meetings with the White House.
Elon Musk has given select independent writers and journalists unprecedented access to Twitter's archives in a series of revelations dubbed the "Twitter Files."
(FOX)
Twitter Files 11: 'PR crisis' following the 2016 election
In the eleventh installment of Elon Musk's "Twitter Files," Substack writer Matt Taibbi reported about the "PR crisis" Twitter underwent in 2017 when Democrats pummeled the tech giant for its apparent inaction of investigating Russian influence on the platform as Facebook was public with uprooting suspicious foreign accounts following the 2016 presidential election, something Taibbi concluded influenced Twitter to embrace the intel community.
Amid pressure, Twitter launched a "Russia Task Force" to investigate whether the Kremlin had such a foothold on the platform, even after it had suspended several suspected Russia-linked accounts.
JIM BAKER, OUSTED TWITTER LAWYER AND EX-FBI OFFICIAL INVOLVED IN RUSSIAGATE, WAS A CNN ANALYST IN BETWEEN JOBS
Taibbi highlighted the discrepancy between Twitter's "external" policy, which was that it would remove content "in our soul discretion," while its "internal guidance" read that "any user identified by the U.S. intelligence community as a state-sponsored entity conducting cyber operations against targets associated with U.S. or other elections… shall not be allowed to advertise on Twitter."
"We will not be reverting to the status quo," Twitter's then-Public Policy VP Colin Crowell told his colleagues at the time.
Twitter Files 12: Rep. Adam Schiff's office targets accounts
Buried in the 12th installment of the Twitter Files was the revelation that the office of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., urged Twitter to suspend accounts that drew attention to his staff including journalist Paul Sperry.
Later, in a Twitter Files "supplemental," Taibbi revealed that Schiff's office "quite often" requested tweeted to be taken down, including a visual parody of then-candidate Biden.
The office of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., urged Twitter to suspend certain accounts and take down tweets, according to the "Twitter Files."
Most of this batch of Twitter Files was focused on eagerness from the State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC), which Taibbi described as a "fledgling analytic/intelligence" arm to participate in guiding Twitter's moderation of content and how it often used the media to clash with the tech giant beginning in February 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic was underway.
Twitter Files 13: Pfizer board member flags tweets questioning COVID vaccine
Making his debut in the Twitter Files saga, Substack writer and vocal COVID policy contrarian Alex Berenson reported that Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner and sitting board member Pfizer who became a media darling during the pandemic, leaned on Twitter to crack down on tweets casting doubt in the effectiveness of the vaccine, including one former Trump administration official Dr. Brett Giroir.
Berenson noted in his report that Gottlieb has also targeted him days before he was permanently suspended from Twitter (Berenson was later reinstated in July 2022 after a legal battle with the tech giant).

Gottlieb slammed the "selective disclosure of my private communications with Twitter" in reaction to Berenson's turn at the Twitter Files.
Twitter Files 14: Top Democrats peddled false 'Russian bots' narrative despite warnings
Taibbi took aim at top Democrats, specifically California Rep. Adam Schiff, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Connecticutt Sen. Richard Blumenthal, for pushing a false narrative that "Russian bots" were promoting Devin Nunes' memo that undermined the Russian collusion investigation which trended on Twitter despite being told by Twitter executives that there wasn't a connection to the Kremlin.
Several media outlets including AP, Politico, NBC News and Rolling Stone, also peddled the claim without any evidence.
Twitter Files 15: BioNTech lobbied to censor activists calling for low-cost generic vaccines
BioNTech, Pfizer's biotechnology partner that help develop a COVID vaccine, leaned on Twitter to censor users who called for the pharmaceutical giant to produce a low-cost generic vaccine so that more people around the world could be treated for the virus. According to reporting from The Intercept's Lee Fang, it is unclear whether Twitter met its demands.

First choose some used cans and a surface to put them on. We used a pallet. If you wish, you can paint them so they look cooler. We painted the cans and the pallet black. Then glue the cans at different heights with hot glue or another glue that works on these surfaces.
Once the cans are well attached you can start to personalise your game. The most important thing is to use your imagination!
We made glitter cardboard stars in different colours and put a different one on each can so that each colour is worth a different number of points.

Firm to Watch: Thomas Moran
For this project, which became the basis for Moran's 2015 League Prize exhibition, he and colleague Meredith Miller constructed caryatids with human characteristics. With these sculptural forms, they sought to blur the line between humans and inanimate objects'with unexpectedly humorous results.

Moran and four colleagues bought a house for $500 at a Detroit tax foreclosure auction in 2009. They used the house to conduct full-scale architectural experiments. Moran set out to provide the house with a new staircase: a utilitarian shelf/ladder hybrid that capitalized on simplicity.
Responding to IDEAS CITY's call for a temporary platform for urban discourse, Moran and Miller proposed a giant blanket fort leaned against the facade of the New Museum. Made of inflated metal, Fort Blanket would incite curiosity from afar and attract impromptu gatherings underneath its canopy.
THING THING built a whimsical urban sculpture out of recycled plastic that doubles as an archway and as bench seating'depending on which way it's flipped. They describe Rainbro as a "quirky domestic character."

Whether he is hijacking plastic or determining the "tectonics of blanket-ness," Thomas Moran spends a lot of time in a fabrication lab. But there is nothing fabricated about this Ann Arbor–based architect's interest in materiality or his commitment to collaboration—or his belief that architecture should have a funny side. "Architects often wear many hats: urban designer, bureaucrat, philosopher," he says. "So why not comedian? Why not use architecture as a medium to lighten things up?"
Moran's profile is on the rise this year. Last May, he won the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers, and, along with the other winners, installed his work at the New School in New York. In August, Moran and a team of colleagues—literally called T+E+A+M, an acronym created from their names—were selected to participate in the U.S. Pavilion at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale.
On top of preparing for the Biennale, Moran, who is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, joins with colleagues for a slew of other design projects.
Visual irony and what he calls "cognitive slapstick" are at the center of Moran's work. A prime example is Between You and Me, the basis for his League Prize exhibition. For this project, Moran and Taubman College colleague Meredith Miller constructed caryatids with human characteristics out of aluminum foil and foam. Seeking to blur the line between humans and inanimate objects, they merged deadpan wit with an element of surprise.
Moran and Miller also submitted a bold proposition this year to the IDEAS CITY competition, sponsored by the New Museum in New York: a big "blanket fort," made of aluminum, to lean against the museum's facade. They envisioned a playful structure that would incite conversation. Though they didn't win, they got deeply involved in the fabrication process, exploring materials that could best reflect the "tectonics of blanketness."
Currently, Moran and Miller are researching how pollutants might be architecturally useful. According to a 2013 report from the Geological Society of America, plastic pollutants in the Pacific are fusing with natural materials to form a rock called plastiglomerate. "Whether we like it or not," Moran notes, "plastic is making it into the geological record. So, instead of wringing our hands, we're assessing the question, What can we do with that new material?" In their studio, Moran and Miller are trying to recreate the natural processes that produce this conglomerate as grounds for further experimentation.
Collaboration also guides Moran's work at THING THING, a Detroit-based studio established in 2012. THING THING experiments with fabrication methods to engineer new materials, often working with post-consumer recycled polyethylene plastic. The whimsical results—eye-popping urban sculptures or stools whose seats are molded from frying pans—reflect a Dadaist sensibility that capitalizes on the incongruity between materials and the resulting objects.
Moran grew up helping in his family's construction business in the Chicago area—which may explain his affinity for getting his hands dirty in the building process. He got a B.S. in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Master in Architecture from Yale. He joined Taubman College's tight-knit studio as a Muschenheim Fellow in 2009, which led to his teaching appointment.
Moran's work with T+E+A+M for the Venice Architecture Biennale will be a major step toward potential international visibility. T+E+A+M—the group includes Moran, Ellie Abrons, and Adam Fure, and Miller—is one of a dozen groups commissioned by curators Cynthia Davidson and Monica Ponce de Leon to produce work for the U.S. Pavilion, whose title this year is The Architectural Imagination. Each group will generate a project specific to Detroit. Collectively, the pavilion will examine architecture's role in catalyzing change in a postindustrial city.
T+E+A+M is studying the Packard Automotive Plant, an Albert Kahn–designed factory that opened in 1903, the first car factory built using reinforced concrete. The hulking complex has long been abandoned. Moran emphasizes that while the plant is often seen as an emblem of ruin, it was an innovative prototype for 20th-century industrial architecture—still a symbol not just of decay but of potential. The group is scrutinizing the building's physicality and testing materials to discuss larger questions about urban development. "We are more interested in the forward-looking possibilities of material," Moran says, "in contrast to approaches that glamorize decay."

Diego de Zabala, impresor (Pamplona, ca. 1619 – Pamplona, 1656). Nacido en torno a 1619, era hijo de un soldado de la ciudadela de Pamplona. Trabajó durante varios años en Sevilla, como "factor y corrector" de imprenta, y después pasó a Madrid, donde al cabo de tres años lo llamó Martín de Labayen para atender su imprenta de Pamplona y al poco, en 1643, lo casó con su hija Isabel.

Martín de Labayen hizo donación del negocio al nuevo matrimonio ya que se encontraba enfermo y no podía continuar al frente del mismo.

Se instaló en la casa de su suegro, en la calle San Antón, y tuvo cuatro hijos: Marín Gregorio, nacido hacia 1644, que heredó el negocio; Francisco, que trabajó en la imprenta; Graciosa, nacida hacia 1652, que casó con el cirujano Miguel de Arraiza, y Juana, en torno a un año más joven que su hermana.

Como era frecuente en el mundo artesanal, sus hijos Martín Gregorio y Francisco, desde niños, con unos diez años, se iniciaron el oficio de impresor de la mano de su padre.

Sociedad familiar
A partir de la boda y hasta la muerte de su suegro, desde 1644 hasta 1654, ven la luz 21 libros que firman conjuntamente, aunque todo hace pensar que era él quien efectivamente dirigía la imprenta, ya que Labayen estaba seriamente enfermo.

De hecho, en el pleito suscitado en 1651 por el cobro del Cursus Philosophici, del franciscano del convento de Pamplona, Francisco Relio, únicamente figura como demandante Diego de Zabala, sin que en ningún momento se haga mención a Labayen. A pesar de ello, en la portada aparecerán ambos.

Su hijo Martín Gregorio, en 1672, en pleito con su padrastro Gaspar Martínez, sostenía —puede que interesadamente, para justificar sus pretensiones— que su padre había ampliado y mejorado el negocio familiar con la compra de dos prensas, que costaron la elevada cantidad de quinientos ducados cada una, y había adquirido juegos de letras en Castilla y Francia por importe de trescientos ducados. Para dar idea de la intensa actividad del taller, sostiene que daba empleo a cuatro oficiales. No parece que Martín de Labayen mantuviera de forma permanente una plantilla tan nutrida, a la vista del bajo ritmo de trabajo de su imprenta.

Tras el fallecimiento de su suegro en 1654, Diego de Zabala estampa su nombre en solitario, aunque será por solo dos años —1654 y 1655—, ya que, de salud endeble, murió en 1656, sin haber cumplido los 40, cuando trabajaba en la impresión del cuando trabajaba en la impresión del "Espejo católico de la caridad divina", de Ignacio Vidondo,  que dos años más tarde concluirá Gaspar Martínez, con el que había casado su viuda.

Murió sin testar y fue enterrado en la parroquia de San Nicolás.

With outdoor sports' return, what you need to know to keep injury on the sidelines
by Susan Bloom | For Jersey's Best Wed., Jul. 14, 2021
Posted on July 14, 2021 by Colette Doudin - Health, Sponsored
A year after the pandemic lockdown, youth sports is back in a big way, and with participants going all out after doing minimal activity, Dr. Robert More, head of Sports Medicine at MidJersey Orthopaedics, reports seeing a lot of injuries among youth athletes who'd gotten out of shape and are now overcompensating.
Hunterdon Healthcare orthopedic surgeon, knee specialist and sports medicine expert Dr. Robert More shares top tips for avoiding some of the most common summer sports injuries.
The warm weather is finally here — and with that, so too is the increased risk of injuries to the knees or shoulders resulting from summer sports activities.
According to Robert More, MD, chairman of Surgery at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington and managing partner and head of Sports Medicine at MidJersey Orthopaedics (which has offices in Flemington, Bridgewater and Washington), the past year has been anything but normal.
Robert More, MD, chairman of Surgery at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington and managing partner and head of Sports Medicine at MidJersey Orthopaedics, which has offices in Flemington, Bridgewater and Washington.
"Last summer, youth sports were shut down because of the pandemic, so we saw almost no young athletes coming into our office with injuries," said Dr. More, who's forged long-standing relationships with athletic trainers in area schools and gyms as well as coaches of local club teams. "A number of adults who were sheltered in place bought indoor exercise bikes and we saw a lot of overuse injuries among recreational adult athletes. This summer, however, youth sports is back in a big way and the participants are going all out; they went from doing minimal activity to doing a ton of activity and we're now seeing a lot of injuries among youth athletes who'd gotten out of shape and are now overcompensating," he said.
"Among the throwing and overhead sports, which include baseball, softball, volleyball, tennis and pickleball, we're seeing such injuries as tendonitis, bursitis, overuse inflammation, and overall shoulder and elbow pain from people playing excessively," Dr. More said. "We're also seeing high school and college baseball players stretching out and/or tearing their ulnar collateral ligament from too many throws in a short period of time," he noted of a condition that can necessitate Tommy John surgery.
"Five years ago, we'd refer those patients to teaching hospitals in New York City or Philadelphia, but we now have the training and technology to address them right here at our hospital," said Dr. More, who has successfully performed a number of these surgeries. "We can now treat those locally with good results."
Among running-related sports, including track, soccer and jogging/running, "Many athletes ramped up too quickly and went from doing nothing to doing competitive meets and high mileage," he said. "As a result, we're seeing cases of tendonitis in the knee and foot, overuse inflammation of the growth plates, and knee and ankle sprains from excessive amounts of activity. We try to dial these athletes back and have them mix in strength, cross training and flexibility activities so that they're not just running every day."
Affiliated with Hunterdon Healthcare, MidJersey Orthopaedics has offices in Flemington, Bridgewater and Washington.
Among his top tips, Dr. More recommends that both youth and adult recreational athletes avoid doing their sport(s) to excess.
"In addition to stretching on a regular basis, you need to mix things up by building in other exercises such as swimming, biking and strength training to avoid muscle and tendon strains," he said. "You want to avoid doing the same things every day and summer is a great time to take advantage of all of the opportunities to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities." In addition, he said, "ensure that you're getting adequate rest and recovery time — even professional athletes take a day or two off a week to give their body a complete break — stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet that limits ingredients known to cause inflammation, such as grain/gluten and refined sugars."
For those who do sustain an injury, "We're now able to perform an exciting new procedure for the knee called 'matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation,' or MACI, which is delivering great results," Dr. More said. "Previously, there was no good way to replace or heal injuries to cartilage on the surface of the bone and these could develop into degenerative problems in the knee later on. However, we can now take cartilage cells from the corner of the knee, grow and multiply them in the lab, place them on a matrix, and implant them back into the knee to replace defects in the cartilage," he said. "We've performed a number of these procedures locally and outcomes have been very good."
Overall, Dr. More encourages athletes to be kind to their bodies. "While we're all thankful that the pandemic is behind us, it's important that athletes not overdo it on activities," he advised. "But in the event that a knee or shoulder injury does occur, our team will be here to get you back in action."

Students should not just think superficially before taking sides in affirmative action debate
Edward Dong
Last month, a Massachusetts federal judge ruled in favor of Harvard in a high-profile case brought up by Students For Fair Admissions (SFFA), upholding Harvard University's controversial and unspoken policy of "positive discrimination" toward minority students. The center of debate, affirmative action, is a tricky topic: If you support it, then you're inherently supporting inequality; if you don't, then you're supporting inequality, too. For a society still grappling with the discrimination, though, we need to take a long, hard look at affirmative action.
The fact is, affirmative action unfairly punishes those who are successful. Supporters of affirmative action like to say it acts as "positive discrimination," rectifying historical mistreatment. However, the idea of "tipping" aspects for select applicants without affecting the outcomes of others, as Harvard University's legal team so blatantly claimed, is ridiculous in any world where admissions are limited. The truth is that discrimination is a two-way street. There is no "positive discrimination" without negative discrimination to someone else. As SFFA highlighted, that means Asian-Americans. In upholding affirmative action, universities are simply shifting discrimination from one group to another.
Furthermore, there is no reason why affirmative action needs to be based on race. Although race is often associated with socioeconomic status, it is far from the only factor. Income, education and occupation are far more important factors. Thus, the argument for using race alone as a factor in giving some students a "push" in their future economic status is ignorant at best. Even so, despite common perceptions of the "model minority" myth with Asian-Americans, a recent report from the Pew Research Center finds that the group actually suffers from the greatest wealth disparity of any cohort in the United States. Although Asian-Americans are the most successful economically as a group, lower-income Asian-Americans trail far behind their lower-income African-American and Caucasian counterparts. Thus, explicit systematic discrimination against Asian-Americans, as shown through Harvard College's"personality scores," is even less justified.
The shaky moral grounds of introducing discrimination to other races could have been justified had it presented significant tangible benefits to social equality. That's simply not the case. A recent New York Times analysis found that even after decades of affirmative action, African-Americans and Hispanics are more underrepresented in top colleges than 35 years ago. Affirmative action is not the silver bullet to solving centuries of historical oppression. In fact, it masks detrimental consequences like a wolf in sheep's clothing. By taking attention away from the fact that discrimination still exists today, affirmative action creates the false image of a "post-racial" society.
It's hard to clearly articulate your thoughts about affirmative action today without risking offending someone, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it. Although the federal judge sided with Harvard University, affirmative action is such a major issue that the Supreme Court will likely take up the case in the near future. In the meantime, we should all keep an open mind and critically consider all perspectives of this issue before taking a side.
