Stephen Marcussen is the founder and chief mastering engineer at Marcussen Mastering[1] in Hollywood, California.
Stephen Marcussen has been mastering music since 1979.
Marcussen's introduction to music recording happened in 1976 when, at the age of nineteen, he was offered a janitor position at Studio 55, record producer Richard Perry's Los Angeles recording studio.[2] At Studio 55, Marcussen received an education in all facets of music recording and sound production. By the end of his Studio 55 tenure, Marcussen had earned his first album credits as an assistant engineer, working on The Manhattan Transfer's Pastiche, Boz Scaggs's Middle Man, and The Pointer Sisters's Special Things.[3]
Marcussen began his mastering career in 1979 at a newly opened mastering facility, Precision Lacquer (later renamed "Precision Mastering"),[4] in Los Angeles.

Q: How to remove the column name on the first row of a csv file, when you export from a datatable? I have a datatable that sucessfuly exports into a csv file.
It goes like this
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
IEnumerable<string> columnNames = tabelaSISH1.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().
                             Select(column => column.ColumnName);
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(";", columnNames));
foreach (DataRow row in tabelaSISH1.Rows)
{
    IEnumerable<string> fields = row.ItemArray.Select(field => field.ToString());
    sb.AppendLine(string.Join(";", fields));
}

File.WriteAllText(xmlDialog1.FileName, sb.ToString());

But the problem is that the first line of the csv file, is always the columns name. I don't want that.
I've the following in hopes that the line with the columns names would be removed, but, obviously all that happened was removing the first line of the data table, and not the column names.
 tabelaSISH1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);

And it failed.
for (int row = 1; row < tabelaSISH1.Rows.Count; row++)
{
    IEnumerable<string> fields = tabelaSISH1.Rows[row].ItemArray.Select(field => field.ToString());
    sb.AppendLine(string.Join(";", fields));
}

And it failed again, both remove the first line of the datatable, but not the column names on the csv file.
Hints?

A: You're explicitly getting the column names and writing them to the StringBuilder that is then used to write the CSV file to disk.
Just remove these two lines:
IEnumerable<string> columnNames =
    tabelaSISH1.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Select(column => column.ColumnName);

sb.AppendLine(string.Join(";", columnNames));

Q: Cannot get CSS form to line-up Properly The page in question is: http://stpsormd.com/
Under the "Add Equipment" section, the second row of textbox elements will not float left properly. In Dreamweaver which is what I'm using to organize the code, it lines up correctly but in Google Chrome it wants to shift to the second column of form fields.
For those digging through the code, only the index.php and primary.css files should have any relation to this particular problem.  As a note, I did not have this problem when all of the form fields were textboxes, changing two of them to option boxes made the shift that I cannot explain.
The top row does add up to 930px in width which is the width of the container, same as the form fields in the "Add User" section.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: Add a clear: left; (or both) to that "formlabel float" div. That fixes it.

A: Use this code:
.formlabel {
    left:0px;
    width: 100px;
}

Ian McKellen Says Half Hollywood Is Gay, Yet Gay Men Don't Exist In Movies
Ian McKellen Says Half Hollywood Is Gay: Veteran performing artist Ian McKellen has assaulted Hollywood's bashfulness in portraying gender and sexuality minorities on screen. The veteran star rails against studio representation of gender and sexuality minorities, expressing "they only recently discovered that there were black people in the world."
The actor Ian McKellen has attacked Hollywood's timidity in depiction gender and sexuality minorities on screen. The 78-year-old actor, famed for his roles in 'Lord of the Rings' series and also the 'X-Men' franchise, is overtly gay and has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights.
In an interview, Ian McKellen was asked regarding the contestation encompassing the choice to not show the young Dumbledore as 'explicitly gay' within the upcoming 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find Them' sequel.
"Well, nobody looks to Hollywood for social commentary, do they? They only recently discovered that there were black people in the world. Hollywood has abused girls in each possible means throughout its history. Gay men do not exist," Ian McKellen replied.
The actor attributable 1998 film 'Gods and Monsters', within which he starred as director James Whale, as being the 'beginning of Hollywood admits that there have been gay people knocking around, even if half Hollywood is gay."
Ian McKellen, who disclosed his sexuality in public in an interview 30 years past, recalled he was once denied a role as a result of he was a homosexual. Yearning a story of once he auditioned for Harold Pinter's 1983 film 'Betrayal', McKellen said producer Sam Spiegel asked him if he would be taking his family with him on a visit to New York.
"I said, 'I don't have a family, I'm gay'. I think it was the first time I came resolute anyone. Well, I was out of that office in 2 minutes. It took Pinter 25 years to apologize for not protruding up for me," the actor aforementioned.
On another report from advocacy group GLAAD discovered just 12.8% of mainstream movies included LGBTQ characters. They have for the number to ascend to half by 2024.

Notes Slab No. 1
font,typography,slab no.1
Two years ago I launched an ambition to expand upon the open source font Chunk with a larger set of characters.
Back then, for a client, I added more latin glyphs and began working with diacritics. Unfortunately — as with a lot of other things — it all ran out in the sand and I didn't find the time to fully complete it.
As a way to be more proficient in typography, I'll continue to expand Chunk with a regular weight. The long term plan is to add more weights, still keeping it open source.
My goal with Slab No. 1 is to consist of a normal, an italic, a bold and a bold italic weight alongside the now existing ultra-bold weight.
Slab No. 1 Regular taking the first few leaps forward.
Designing characters
So far, it's very early and I'm testing a few different alternative routes. Ultimately, it may affect the details of the original, hopefully for the better but probably just based on personal taste.
Right now the lowercase "a" is going an alternative route compared to the original. The lower case "a" has a terminal ending compared to the original. If this will be the final design, this will be reflected in Slab No. 1 Black. But it's a little too early to tell.
Slab No. 1 is a work in progress, here showing of h and a.
Open source on Github
Right now, of course, Slab No. 1 isn't particularly useful as of now but please follow its progress on Github.
The font Chunk is designed by Meredith Mandel and is open source.
Slab No. 1 was from the beginning named Chunked, but to avoid confusion with the original Chunk I'm renaming it.

Head Of National Guard Says Tens Of Thousands Could Be Called Up
By Tom Bowman,
National Guard personnel march in formation Thursday at a state-managed coronavirus drive-through testing site that just opened on Staten Island in New York.
Tens of thousands of guardsmen could be called up to help state efforts to combat the coronavirus in the coming weeks and months, the head of the National Guard Bureau said.
"This could quickly blossom," Gen. Joseph Lengyel told Pentagon reporters Thursday.
At the moment, just over 2,000 members of the National Guard are assisting governors in 27 states, doing things such as helping with testing and transportation. Lengyel said that number could double by this weekend.
There are some 450,000 Guardsmen in the Air Guard and National Guard.
Lengyel said he doesn't see the need to federalize the guard, meaning it would come under control of the president. He said it's more efficient to leave it under state control.
On Thursday, President Trump appeared to agree. At a meeting with a group of governors, Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia told Trump to "leave the directives for the National Guard with the governors."
"That's done. I like it," Trump responded.

At the age of 8, Debby Z. Green of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, lost sight in one of her eyes due to uveitis, an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye that can cause blindness. The disease gradually robbed her of vision in both eyes. Green learned braille and how to walk with a mobility cane before completing her master's degree and setting into a career as a rehabilitation counselor. She helps blind people adapt to their vision loss and to learn to live independently.
"Don't think just because you're blind, God doesn't want to use you," says Green, 69.
Today, Green is a credentialed Assemblies of God minister and a licensed counselor, working as associate pastor at Calvary Assembly of God in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. She credits her ability to minister to Assemblies of God Center for the Blind (CftB) and its director Paul Weingartner. The Center's fourfold vision includes equipping the blind for ministry opportunities.
Green began taking Global University courses CftB provided. Soon, Green felt called to pursue ministerial credentialing. She enrolled in the required classes through the Kentucky School of Ministry, with CftB providing many of her textbooks in audio format. Without the services provided by the CftB, Green may never have become a credentialed minister.
Green's testimony is just one of many inspiring stories of people in ministry thanks to the resources and services provided by the Center for the Blind.
Born with glaucoma, Roland H. Blount lost vision in both eyes. But that didn't stop him from pursuing God's call on his life. Over the years, Blount has served as a pastor, evangelist, and missionary.
When called in 1975 as an Assemblies of God world missionary to pastor churches in Chile and Paraguay, Blount found himself in a bind. He didn't know Spanish. The CftB transcribed his textbooks from print to braille, enabling him to learn the language and to serve in the field.
Blount returned to the U.S. in 1983. In Florida, he worked for Spanish Television and Radio as well as Inter-America Bible Media Ministry, both AGWM Latin America region outreaches, before retiring a missionary in 2007. For the past 35 years, Blount has taught Sunday School at Pleasant Grove Assembly of God in Plant City, Florida. CftB makes curriculum materials available to him.
Blount, 82, speaks highly of CftB, especially regarding his chats with the Center's chaplain, Dale Bean, who checks in on him periodically.
Although born with perfect vision, Bean as a teenager was diagnosed with keratoconus, a condition causing the cornea to thin and bulge like a cone. That led to blurry and distorted vision, which made reading and driving difficult.
Still, Dean pressed on. Then, shortly after accepting a pastorate, Bean's corneas ruptured within two months of each other, leaving him blind in both eyes. Bean later received cornea transplants, which restored his vision.
After retiring in 2011, Bean accepted the role of volunteer chaplain for the Center for the Blind, which is a ministry with U.S. Missions Intercultural Ministries.
"My job is to call people, and to talk and pray with them," says Bean.
Many of the contacts consider Bean as their pastor because they are unable to attend church. Bean points out that blind people often feel isolated, and that having someone to talk can be an important lifeline.
Weingartner, the Center's director, points out that 68,000 people who attend AG congregations are blind. But CftB serves only a small fraction of them because many churches are unaware of the services the Center provides.
In addition to providing Bible courses and teaching materials, CftB also offers periodicals, devotionals, and resources for discipleship and Christian living. Materials are available in braille and audio formats.
Although CftB receives project funding from Light for the Lost, Speed the Light, and Boys & Girls Missionary Challenge, the center needs additional support from individuals to continue its work.

Spring Awakening Stars: Three of a Kind
Austin McKenzie was a little intimidated when he met Sandra Mae Frank and Daniel Durant for the first time.
He had just been cast as Melchior in Deaf West's production of Spring Awakening—the Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik musical based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play about repressed German teenagers—and Frank would be his Wendla. Since the two characters share an intimate scene, McKenzie wanted to make sure they'd have chemistry so he looked her up on Facebook and discovered a picture of her dancing in a club.
"I thought she was some wild, young person who just wanted to have fun, and I was this kind of closed off person," remembers McKenzie. On the first day they met, McKenzie approached very meekly to say hello, while Frank had another agenda.
"I was like, 'Let me look at you. Turn around. Give me the full view!" Frank recalls with a laugh. "And then I went, 'Okay, it's nice to meet you.' I'm just kidding you Austin, I wasn't that mean!'
McKenzie was also nervous to meet Durant, as McKenzie was studying American Sign Language (ASL) in college and he had seen a video of Durant signing "The Bitch of Living," and thought Durant's signing was "gorgeous." (Fun fact: McKenzie actually applied to be an interpreter, not an actor, on the Deaf West production.)
However, Durant felt an instant bond the first time they hung out. The show's director, Michael Arden, took the three of them to the Soho House in Los Angeles, and the trio recalls the gorgeous views and the "no photography" policy at the restaurant so they had to "hide their cameras." Though there was a photo booth, and that night, they snapped a sheet of pictures together. For each of the show's runs—first at Inner-City Arts in L.A. and then at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts—they take a picture in a photo booth together.
"It's become our tradition," says Durant. "I have all the photos lined up."
Now the revival is opening on Broadway on September 27, and they're together to take a very different picture. Any awkwardness that might have been there at the beginning is completely erased. When Durant arrives at Sardi's, he immediately rushes up to McKenzie, embracing him as "my BFF." Frank rushes up to Durant with receiving arms thrust in front of her, as she has asked him to pick up her necklace from the theater for the shoot.
It seems almost tangential to note the both Frank and Durant are deaf. In fact, as they laugh and engage during the interview and the shoot, they almost seem louder than McKenzie, who is hearing and fluent in ASL, as he speaks softly—saving his voice after being sick. McKenzie signs very close to his body while Frank and Durant spread their arms wide, bumping into each other, and joke that the their dynamic signing will not fit in the tight video frame.
Each of them never thought they would be on Broadway—especially in a musical.
"I grew up with a family that didn't sing so when I got into this production I was quite nervous," says Durant, who is the only cast member who has been involved with the production since the initial workshop before Inner-City Arts. "I thought, 'How am I going to handle music?'"
For Frank, it was a dream she never thought she'd realize. "I've always wanted to be on Broadway," she gushes. Frank—the only college graduate of the group, McKenzie points out—studied theater at Gallaudet University. "I didn't know how or what or why or when I would get there, but I never dreamed it would happen. And I'm so thrilled that its Deaf West's production coming to Broadway. Deaf West was my first experience I couldn't ask for anything better than to be here now on Broadway."
McKenzie still can't believe they chose him to lead the show as Melchior, played by Jonathan Groff in the original production, and he even admits the he was surprised to be cast in the part to begin with. "I've always thought I was much more of a Wendla, but I couldn't play that because of certain reasons," he says. "And also, I always thought I was more of a Moritz and I knew I couldn't play that because I'm not deaf either."
Durant immediately says that he identifies more with Melchior; however, in Arden's conceit for the production, the characters played by deaf actors are deaf in the play, and for the purposes of this production, Melchior needed to be played by a hearing actor and Moritz would be played by a deaf one.
The production is performed entirely in ASL as well as spoken. Each deaf actor has a hearing counterpart who acts as the character's voice, and Durant and Frank share that it's a very interesting partnership with their voice actors—Alex Boniello and Katie Boeck respectively.
"So, I am really deaf—I can't hear anything," Durant begins.
"Me too!" says Frank.
"Sometimes I can catch a lip reading movement, but it's hard because he's singing," says Durant. "There's cues built into that and sometimes there's a lighting cue. Sometimes an actor will do a movement on their body and that will give me a cue."
"Her breathe, her shoulder movements, and sometimes she moves and slouches and that helps me know that's the next cue," Frank says, then jokingly asks McKenzie how he gets his cues.
"Well it's very difficult for me there's a lot of different cues I get from people," he starts to say, then, more honestly, "You guys were talking about the connection with your voice actor, which I don't have one and it sometimes can feel a little lonely because I have no one to connect with. But that's why I like working with you guys because I get to give you cues."
In their free time, they've has been enjoying exploring the city. Durant is sampling all of the city's restaurants, but really, he's on the hunt for the best mozzarella sticks. (He hasn't found them yet.) He also went to H&M for the first time, as many of friends had told him about it, and picked out an outfit for the photoshoot. Though, he admits he's not that into fashion.
"You have to now that you're a big Broadway star!" McKenzie says with a laugh.
Frank loves fashion—she can't wait to visit Top Shop—and remarks that New York City style is much different than California, where she's from.
"I love New York fashion—it's the best in my opinion," she says. "There's a lot of black. It's more chic. It's a little bit avant garde, and I just love the look."
So what are they going to do for their opening night looks?
"I want silver," says Frank.
"A magician never reveals their secrets!" McKenzie says, cutting her off.
"I'm not giving away my secrets are you kidding me?" Frank retorts.
The real question though: Will there be a photo booth?
"I don't know," Frank says. "I'll have to put it in my contract that they have to provide us with a photo booth on opening night."

Janelle Monáe // Live Review
Danny Wright
Janelle Monáe, The Roundhouse, 11/09/18
"This is dedicated to all the free-ass motherfuckers!" yells Janelle Monae exultantly half way through her show at the Roundhouse. As she stands atop a white plinth bathed in light, and dressed in a pristine red and white PVC outfit and checkerboard trousers, she surveys the crowd, staring defiantly out from behind a peaked cap. A feeling of energy and exhilaration ripples from the stage through the crowd, the air crackles with electric anticipation.
That's the power that Janelle Monáe radiates right now. It makes tonight's show not only a rapturous celebration of difference and independence; of sexual liberation, feminism and individuality, but also a radiant, dazzling celebration of her unique talents – a party that we've all been invited to, where we can be whoever we want to be. "This show is celebrating what makes you unique, even of it makes other uncomfortable," she tells us.
Tonight she proves she can be many things at once, as she deftly morphs from mischievous sci-fi soldier to futuristic queen conductor, sitting on her throne surveying her adoring subjects. Words like 'enigma' and 'polymath' have followed her around, the idea that she hides behind concepts, characters and the dystopian worlds she creates, that's she's too clever and doesn't reveal the real her. But the show tonight is her voice, the truest glimpse we've seen of her, as she creates her own world; a joyful, euphoric soul-funk opera with Janelle Monáe, the star, at the centre of everything.
It's so frantic at times you feel like she could spontaneously combust. Yet she also seems like an artist in total control as she swaggers across the stage. Confident, sassy, a playful smile never far from her lips, she is the conductor; the electric, pulsing core to the everything happening around her, supported by four dancers and an impressive five-piece band.
There are six costume changes into new futuristic uniforms; the whole venue reverberates with joyful energy and audience members are invited on stage (or "four dirty computers that have the juice" as she puts it) to dance, scream 'I've got the juice' (one audience member is castigated for admonished she 'might' have the juice) and jubilantly show off their moves on stage.
But this is a show where there's always the feeling that there's a message – a beating heart – not far from the surface. During 'Screwed' she take the lyrics ( I don't care / We'll put water in your guns / We'll do it all for fun) and makes them real. Backing dancers fire water pistols over the audience as real guns, rioting and bombs loom ominously on the big screens behind them as she raps about the injustices facing women and black Americans.
Monáe has always known that the meaning behind the songs matters just as much as the songs themselves. And that idea is what makes this show work, as it brings together the political and personal, her beliefs and what she holds important. She thanks London for fighting for LGBTQIA rights, for black rights, for women's rights and for immigrant's rights and "for love: the only thing that will get us through." This might be a party but there's a message here.
During Pynk she dons the now famous vagina trousers (sadly these are not available at the merch table) as she celebrates sexual freedom. Later the words 'Say it loud / I'm dirty and proud' flash on the huge screens. She also takes on sexism with Django Jane's as she reclines in a throne and demands we "Hit the mute button / let the vagina have a monologue", followed by a dramatic pause.
And during all of this there's also time for a Prince tribute as PrimeTime slowly morphs into the euphoric outro of Purple Rain. "I love you Prince," she says. There are nods to the Purple One throughout, not least in the encore of 'Make Me Feel' – her homage to his 'Let's Go Crazy' – during which you can feel his spirit and his sense of adventure.
There are hints of Michael Jackson too as she shimmies and glides along to an extended intro to 'Make Me Feel' before a jaw-dropping run climax of 'Cold War' and 'Tightrope' bring the set to a stunning close.
This is an dazzling, adventurous and ecstatic show. Original, individual and defiant, she doesn't fit within many easy, lazy labels and that makes her the star we need right now. An artist at the top of her game. As she sings during 'I Like That' – a song which could be her manifesto – "I'm always left of centre and that's right where I belong… I never like to follow… I always knew I was the shit." Tonight, more than ever, Janelle Monáe proves it.

U.S. Olympic star Charlie White takes his on-ice persona so seriously he As an ice dancer, we take our on-ice relationships so seriously, and.
The pair, who have been skating together since fourth grade, spoke to Cosmopolitan. How do you feel about people who say that ice dancing isn't a sport? Charlie: I think it's easy to sit on your couch and say that kind of thing. It's definitely one of the most physical activities you can take part in. I played hockey when I was young, and it's definitely on equal footing — the only difference is I didn't have to look good while playing hockey.
What is your reaction to the rumors that you're dating each other? Charlie: I didn't know there were rumors! But, I think we can positively quell those, since we're both in relationships. It's tough because on the ice we have to make people believe that we're in love during our performances, so we'll take that people think we're dating as a compliment because I guess we're doing our job well! But we grew up together and have known each other for so long, so there is a connection there.
On the topic of dating, the Olympic Village is known to be hookup crazy place where everyone's on Tinder.
It's a balmy evening in June, the air rich with the smell of fresh flowers, the breeze rustling the trees and wafting the distant lilt of music on strings. The magical is meeting with the practical here: the idyllic beauty of a Provencal wedding reconciled with the aching realities of spending an afternoon walking gardens and gravel paths in a pair of heels. Instead of slipping away to gaze lovingly into one another's eyes, the bride and groom excuse themselves for a quick wardrobe change so that she can be more comfortable at the reception—not a fairytale romance, but the real world kind.
But just as it seems that the evening might be coming back down to earth, wonder reasserts itself. As they make their way back to their guests, the blue kiss of twilight turns buttery yellow under strings of lights woven between a lane of stretching plane trees, their friends and family seated for a feast beneath the glow of the lights.

Why Should I Detail My Car in the Winter?
To keep drivers safe on wet or slippery roadways, sands, acids and other potentially damaging substances are often applied to the streets during winter months. These substances can wreak havoc and cause scratches on your car's paint, and any damage done to the paint is often easily noticeable with the naked eye.
The best way to minimize the damage and to keep your car's painted surfaces from becoming dull is to use a high-quality car-washing agent and add another coat using a gloss enhancement.
In addition to potentially damaging your car's paint job, acids and sands applied to the roads during the winter can have negative effects on your wheels. For optimum protection and to keep them shining brightly year-round, apply one or two coats of polish to all four wheels, and be sure to repeat this step between every few car washes.
Winter driving conditions can also hinder visibility, making riding in the car particularly dangerous for you and your passengers. Keeping your windows and headlights clean and clear is even more important during the winter months than it is the rest of the year.
To clean your car's windows, apply a glass cleaner intended for automotive use and make sure it's an ammonia-free formula for best results and a streak-free finish.
When prepping your ride for the wintertime, don't forget about the interior! Applying a conditioning coat to leather interior surfaces will help the leather maintain flexibility and suppleness. Keep an eye out for conditioners that contain lanolin and mink oil, which do a great job at preserving your leather interior and keeping it in tip-top shape all year round.
Need help or additional tips about how to ready your ride for the wintertime? Pop into The Clean Machine Car Wash in Battle Ground or call (360) 666-1533 with any questions you may have about how to keep your car protected and in premium shape all year.

the United States Reports

199 US 325 James Gardner v. People of the State of Michigan
26 S.Ct. 106
50 L.Ed. 212
JAMES GARDNER, Plff. in Err.,
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Submitted November 9, 1905.
Decided November 27, 1905.
Mr. Fred A. Baker for plaintiff in error.
Messrs. T. E. Tarsney, John B. Corliss, and Corliss, Leete, & Joslyn for defendant in error.
This appeal raises for consideration the question whether a certain ordinance of the city of Detroit, relating to the collection and disposition of garbage within that city, is repugnant to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
By the ordinance in question it was made the duty of the occupant or occupants of every dwelling house or other building in the city of Detroit to provide a suitable and water-tight box or other vessel of a convenient size to be handled by the garbage collector, in which such occupant or occupants should cause to be placed or deposited 'all offal, garbage, and refuse animal and vegetable matter of the premises.' Such occupants were required to keep the box or other vessel in the alley in rear of their premises, or at a place on the premises most accessible to the person collecting the garbage and offal; and it was made unlawful to put anything but refuse animal and vegetable matter in the vessel used for garbage and offal. If the vessel was placed in the alley, it must be provided with a tight cover, properly hinged, and located next to the lot line, from which it should not project more than two feet into the alley. § 1.
The remaining sections of the ordinance are in these words:
'§ 2. The word 'garbage' shall be held to include every refuse accumulation of animal, fruit, or vegetable matter that attends the preparation, use, cooking, dealing in or storing of meat, fish, fowl, food, fruit, or vegetables, including dead animals and condemned foods found within the city limits. All garbage shall be collected in water-tight closed metal boxes, and such boxes shall be purified as often as the health officer may direct, and shall have painted thereon the word 'Garbage.'
'§ 3. It is hereby made the duty of the contractor with the city of Detroit for the collection and removal of garbage and dead animals to collect and remove, in accordance with the ordinances and contract of the city, all garbage, dead animals, fish, and refuse animal and vegetable matter found within the city limits. No other person or party except the city contractor or its agents shall carry, convey, or transport through the streets, alleys, or public places of the city of Detroit such materials, and it shall be unlawful for any person to interfere in any manner with the collection and disposal of such materials by the city contractor.
'§ 4. It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit, throw, or place any garbage, fish, dead animals, or refuse animal or vegetable matter in any avenue, alley, street, or other public place within the city of Detroit; nor shall any person place such materials upon any private property, whether owned by such person or not, unless the same shall be inclosed in proper vessels or boxes, as provided in § 1.
'§ 5. The collection and removal of garbage shall be under the supervision of the board of health, and it shall be the duty of the board of health and police department, through their proper officials and agents, to enforce the provisions of this ordinance.' Revised Ordinances of 1895, as amended in 1901.
The city of Detroit rests the authority of its council to pass this ordinance upon its charter, which contains the following provisions: 'The council shall have power to provide for the preservation of the general health of the inhabitants of the city, and to make regulations to secure the same; . . . to abate or remove any nuisance; . . . to prohibit and prevent any person from having on his premises any substance or thing that is unwholesome or nauseous; and to authorize the removal thereof; . . . The common council is also empowered to enact and provide, by appropriate ordinance, for the manner of collecting, transporting, conveying, and handling of garbage and all animal and vegetable matter and refuse in said city; . . . and to require all persons in said city to dispose of the same in the manner provided by said common council in said ordinance for the removal and destruction thereof, and to impose and enforce appropriate penalties for any violation of said ordinance.' Charter of the city, chap. 7, § 43, par. 130.
By additional legislation in 1889 the common council was given the power 'to advertise for proposals, and contract for the removal, disposition, and destruction of garbage and all animal and vegetable refuse for a term of years.'
In 1901 the city and the Detroit Sanitary Works, a corporation of Michigan, entered into a written agreement, by which the latter undertook to collect, remove, and dispose of all garbage and dead animals within the limits of the city of Detroit for the term of ten consecutive fiscal years, beginning July 1st, 1901. In consideration of the faithful performance of the conditions and specifications specified in the agreement, the city agreed to pay to the sanitary company the sum of $515,000, in equal monthly instalments of $4,291.66 2/3 during the continuance of the contract.
The agreement between the city and the sanitary works contained, among others, the following provisions: '1. Garbage shall be understood to consist of all refuse animal or vegetable matter, including dead animals, found within the city limits, coming from private or public premises within the city. 2. The time for making the collection of garbage and dead animals shall be as follows, to wit: (a) Within and upon the public markets daily. (b) Within the two-mile circle as shown from the maps of the city, and from all hotels, restaurants, hospitals, slaughterhouses, and all other places where animals, game, or fowl are killed within the said city of Detroit, collections daily. (c) Within all other portions of the city, collections three times in each week, times as nearly equally divided as possible. The work of collecting said garbage shall be performed to the satisfaction and under the provision of the board of health. (d) The board of health shall have authority to order daily collections outside of the two-mile circle whenever, in its judgment, it is necessary. The health officer shall also have authority to order extra collections to be made at any time when necessary, the contractor shall be required to cause such collections to be made within three hours of the time when such order is received by him. (e) Garbage shall be collected in and transported through the streets of the city in vehicles with water-tight closed metal boxes. 3. All garbage must be taken at least 2 miles outside the limits of the city of Detroit, and disposed of in such manner as to entail no damage or claim against the city of Detroit for such disposal. 4. It is expressly agreed that no garbage or other refuse collected by said contractor shall be dumped into the Detroit river or any of its tributaries, or into Lake Erie or any other lake. The common council reserves the right to make such rules and regulations with reference to the collection of the garbage as may, from time to time, be deemed necessary. No employee of the contractor shall receive in the city of Detroit less than one and fifty one-hundredths dollars ($1.50) per day. In case said second party shall fail to collect garbage or dead animals in accordance with this contract, and such failure shall continue for the period of twenty-four (24) hours after a written notice from the board of health of the city of Detroit, then, and in such case, said second party shall be liable to and shall pay to the said party of the first part the penalty of two dollars ($2.00) for each and every such failure so to do.'
Upon the complaint of an agent of the sanitary works, Gardner, the plaintiff in error, was arrested by warrant issued out of the recorder's court of Detroit, charged with having violated the above ordinance by unlawfully and wilfully carrying, conveying, and transporting garbage through the streets and alleys of Detroit, he not being the city contractor or its agent.
The defendant pleaded not guilty, was tried and found guilty by a jury, and fined $10.
There was no dispute at the trial as to the facts. It appeared that the defendant gathered and transported refuse from the tables of hotels, of the kinds described in the statute as garbage, acting in such matter, not for the city contractor, but for the person who bought such material from the proprietors of the hotels. He violated the statute, and was liable to the prescribed penalty unless the ordinance was invalid. The judgment of conviction in the recorder's court was affirmed by the supreme court of Michigan, all the judges (except one who did not sit) concurring. 11 Det. L. N. 166, 100 N. W. 126.
The contention of the accused at the trial was that the garbage or swill accumulated at hotels was property, and that the 3d section of the ordinance, directing the city contractor to collect and remove it, deprived the owner of his property without compensation, and therefore was in violation of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
This contention was overruled by the trial court, the judge saying to the jury: 'The defendant in this case was transporting what confessedly was garbage. It is well settled that no one may claim damages because of enforced obedience to a police regulation designed to secure and protect public health. It is manifest that, were individuals permitted to escape the regulation fixed by the common council, and dispose of garbage as they severally saw fit, all system in the collection and removal of refuse matter would be destroyed. Even if this garbage have some value for some such use as that to which the respondent's employer put it,—the feeding of hogs,—the courts will not, at the expense of the public health, recognize that this refuse matter, in its legal aspect, is property. No property right has, therefore, been violated.' The supreme court of the state thus disposed of the question: 'The defendant attacks the validity of the ordinance as it relates to garbage or refuse from the tables of hotels. Similar ordinances have been before the court and sustained in people v. Gordon, 81 Mich. 306, 21 Am. St. Rep. 524, 45 N. W. 658, and Grand Rapids v. De Vries, 123 Mich. 570, 82 N. W. 269. In these cases the question of whether there is a property right in refuse was not raised in the form in which it is here presented, although, in the case last cited, it was quite plainly implied that the common council, in the exercise of the police power, had the right to treat as a nuisance all such refuse as is unfit for human food. The court may well take judicial notice that table refuse, when dumped into receptacles kept for that purpose, will speedily ferment and emit noisome odors, calculated to affect the public health. If, in providing against such a nuisance, the owner of such material suffers some slight loss, the inconvenience or loss is presumed to be compensated in the common benefit secured by regulation. Horr & B. Mun. Pol. Ord. § 220. The precise question involved in the present case was considered in the well-reasoned opinion of Judge Shepard in Dupont v. District of Columbia, 20 App. D. C. 477, and the conclusion reached fully sustains the holding of the trial judge.'
Upon the general subject of the exercise of police powers by municipalities proceeding under legislative sanction for the protection of the public health, the views of this court have been set forth in the case of California Reduction Co. v. Sanitary Reduction Works (just decided), 199 U. S. 306, 50 L. ed. ——, 26 Sup. Ct. Rep. 100, and what has been said in the opinion in that case is, we think, decisive against the present defendant. It is appropriate, however, to make some observations in reference to certain features of the present case.
The defendant insists that it is part of the common knowledge of the country that the refuse from kitchens, tables, hotels, and restaurants is valuable as food for swine, and is property within the meaning of the constitutional provision which forbids the taking by any state of private property for public use without compensation. Of course, all know that such a use of refuse is not uncommon in some localities, although modern investigation shows that a good deal may be said against such a practice. It is believed by some that the feeding of garbage to swine produces an inferior quality of pork. There is authority for the statement that in 1889 the Massachusetts board of health reported, as the result of its investigation, that garbage-fed hogs were afflicted with trichinosis to the extent of 13 per cent. In some states it is forbidden by statute to feed garbage to milch cows, and in some cities it is forbidden to sell milk from garbage-fed cows. Chapin, Municipal Sanitation in the United States, 699, 700. We do not, of course, express any opinion as to these matters, and refer to them only in order to bring out the thought that the question before the municipal authorities of Detroit was one in respect of which there was room for difference of views as to what means were best for the protection of the public health. Looking at the matter in a practical light, we are unable to say that the means devised by the city council, and indicated by its action, were plainly unreasonable or unnecessary, or did not have a real, substantial relation to the protection of the public.
Touching the suggestion that garbage and refuse are valuable for the manufacture of merchantable grease and other products, it is sufficient, in view of what we have said in the other case, to remark that it was a controlling obligation of the city, which it could not properly ignore, to protect the health of its people in all lawful ways having relation to that object; and if, in its judgment, fairly and reasonably exercised, the presence of garbage and refuse in the city, on the premises of householders and otherwise, would endanger the public health by causing the spread of disease, then it could rightfully require such garbage and refuse to be removed and disposed of, even if it contained some elements of value. In such circumstances, the property rights of individuals in the noxious MATERIALS DESCRIBED IN THE ORDINANCE MUST be subordinated to the general good. If it be said that the city might have adequately guarded the public health and at the same time saved the property rights of its owner, on whose premises garbage and refuse were found, the answer is that the city evidently thought otherwise, and we cannot confidently say that its constituted authorities went beyond the necessities of the case and exceeded their proper functions when they passed the ordinance in question. Those ordinances cannot, therefore, according to well-settled principles, be held to be wanting in the due process of law required by the Constitution.
The defendant further contends, as he contended in the supreme court of the state, that the act of the Michigan legislature, creating the board of jury commissioners for Wayne county, in which the present trial occurred, denies to accused persons and other litigants in that county the equal protection of the laws. The ground of this contention is, that by the general laws of the state, the officers authorized to make and return the jury list were elected by the people in their several townships and in city wards (Const. art. 11, § 1, People ex rel. Atty. Gen. v. Detroit, 29 Mich. 108), and required that jurors should be of those who are assessed on the assessment roll; while, by the Wayne county jury law of 1893, as amended in 1895 (Pub. Acts 1893, p. 337; id. 1895, p. 69), the jury lists are made up and returned by a board of seven jury commissioners, appointed by the governor, with the consent of the senate, and the names of persons to be returned need not appear on the assessment rolls. This difference between the general law relating to jury trials and the special law relating to Wayne county, it is said, constitutes a discrimination against the people of that county, and amounts to a denial to them of the equal protection of the law. This view does not commend itself to our judgment. It is fully met and shown not to be sound by the judgment in Missouri v. Lewis (Bowman v. Lewis) 101 U. S. 22, 31, 25 L. ed. 989, 992, where Mr. Justice Bradley, speaking for the court, and referring to the 14th Amendment, said: 'The last restriction, as to the equal protection of the laws, is not violated by any diversity in the jurisdiction of the several courts as to subject-matter, amount, or finality of decision, if all persons within the territorial limits of their respective jurisdictions have an equal right, in like cases and under like circumstances, to resort to them for redress. Each state has the right to make political subdivisions of its territory for municipal purposes, and to regulate their local government. As respects the administration of justice, it may establish one system of courts for cities and another for rural districts, one system for one portion of its territory, and another system for another portion. Convenience, if not necessity often requires this to be done, and it would seriously interfere with the power of a state to regulate its internal affairs to deny to it this right. We think it is not denied or taken away by anything in the Constitution of the United States, including the amendments thereto. We might go still further and say, with undoubted truth, that there is nothing in the Constitution to prevent any state from adopting any system of laws or judicature it sees fit for all or any part of its territory. If the state of New York, for example, should see fit to adopt the civil law and its method of procedure for New York city and the surrounding counties, and the common law and its method of procedure for the rest of the state, there is nothing in the Constitution of the United States to prevent its doing so. This would not, of itself, within the meaning of the 14th Amendment, be a denial to any person of the equal protection of the laws. If every person residing or being in either portion of the state should be accorded the equal protection of the laws prevailing there, he could not justly complain of a violation of the clause referred to. For, as before said, it has respect to persons and classes of persons. It means that no person or class of persons shall be denied the same protection of the laws which is enjoyed by other persons or other classes in the same place and under like circumstances.' Perceiving no error in the record touching any Federal question, the judgment is affirmed.
Mr. Justice Brewer and Mr. Justice Peckham dissent from the opinion so far as it relates to the ordinances in question.

KUWAIT CITY, April 16 : A Chinese woman was arrested for offering flesh pleasure at the cost of KD200 per night, reports Al-Rai daily According to a security source, when securitymen received information that a Chinese woman who is a member of an online international prostitution ring, arrived in Kuwait, a team was formed for carrying out investigations. After confirming the information and obtaining a warrant from the Public Prosecution, plainclothes officers arrested the woman from a hotel in Salmiya area and referred her to the concerned authorities for necessary legal action against her.
Tracking device placed in cars: A Kuwaiti woman lodged a complaint at Maidan Hawally Police Station against an Iraqi man, accusing him of placing a tracking device inside her car to track her movements, reports Al-Rai daily. According to security sources, the woman told securitymen that she was surprised when the Iraqi would frequently call her and tell her that he is aware of all her movements and her whereabouts and would prove it by arriving at the place where she would be present. She then discovered a strange device under her car seat and checked it to realize it is a phone chip that could be monitored by his smart phone. The complainant provided securitymen with the device and information about the suspect, using which securitymen have launched investigations to find and arrest him.
Drivers held, cars seized: Ahmadi securitymen arrested 12 reckless drivers and seized their vehicles during an extensive traffic campaign they launched in Ahmadi area based on instructions from Ahmadi Security Director Brigadier Abdullah Safa. Two of the suspects were caught racing on King Fahad Road. All arrested suspects were referred to the concerned authorities for necessary legal action against them and their vehicles were referred to the seized-vehicle garage.

Let's Be Patriotic
10 Fun Facts About the 4th of July
by Tesse June 27, 2016
written by Tesse June 27, 2016
Every year Americans bust out the BBQs and light fireworks in honor of Independence Day. It's a holiday that unites a nation in celebration and cheer. It is considered America's birthday. But do you know any fun facts about the 4th of July?
There are a few things perhaps you didn't know about this national holiday. Here are some fun facts about the 4th of July that you can use at your neighbor's BBQ party while he's grilling up some hot dogs.
1. Happy Birthday America?
Happy Early Birthday America!
While we celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, that is actually not the birth of America. Congress ruled in favor of independence on July 2, 1776. John Adams even wrote home to Abigail saying that this day (July 2nd) will go down in history and celebrated. It wasn't until July 4th that Congress accepted Jefferson's declaration. Therefore that day was marked as America's birthday. So, hey, go ahead and start celebrating early!
2. Celebrations
Early celebrations
America started celebrating the 4th of July as early as 1777. There was a parade and a 13-cannon salute in Philadelphia to honor the holiday. However, it wasn't officially made a holiday until 1870 when Congress passed a bill to recognize major state holidays on a federal level. They also recognized Christmas and New Year's Day in the same bill. Nice job, Congress!
3. Liberty Tap
Tap-Tap-Tap!
The Liberty Bell is a symbol of our nation and has been around for hundreds of years. However, due to concerns about preservation and its large crack it hasn't been rung since 1846. Instead on the 4th of July, it is tapped 13 times to signal bells across the nation to ring for America's Independence. Tap, tap, tap….
4. Population Increase
Population Increase
In July 1776 the population in the United States was 2.5 million. As of June 2016 the population has increased to 323 million. That's what I call inflation!
5. Young Blood
They were so young!
The average age of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence was 45. The youngest was Thomas Lynch who was 27 and the oldest was Benjamin Franklin who was 70. The lead author of the document, Thomas Jefferson, was only 33. How many of us can say we started their own nation and declared war on another at age 33?
6. National Bird
Turkey as the National Bird??
Next time you sit down for Thanksgiving remember that Benjamin Franklin proposed the Turkey be the national bird. He said, "For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America… He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on." He makes a good point!
7. Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle Joke?
The song "Yankee Doodle" was originally sung by the British military to mock the American colonists who appeared disorganized when fighting along side them in the French and Indian Wars. (Grrr….Let me at em!)
8. Happy Hot Dog Day
So many hot dogs consumed!
It is estimated that around 155 million hot dogs are consumed in America on the 4th of July making it the largest hot dog holiday. I'm going to make mine an organic hot dog!
9. Secret Code
There's a code on the back!
There is something written on the back of the Declaration of Independence! It's written upside down and backwards and says, "Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776." No one knows who wrote it or why, but during those times parchment was rolled up so it probably served as some sort of message. Crazy!
10. Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Contest
Hot Dog Contest
It has become an American tradition that on July 4th people compete to shove as many hot dogs in their mouths as possible. How did it all start? Legend has it that four immigrants were trying to prove who was most patriotic. To prove themselves they ate as many hot dogs as they could handle. Because-America.
So there you have fun facts about the 4th of July! Bust out those hot dogs and grills! Get out your fireworks! Put on the good Ol' red, white, and blue! And celebrate Independence Day two days after the Declaration of Independence was written! Because-America.

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in autoimmune diseases

Department of Haematology & Bone Marrow Transplantation, Army Hospital (R&R), Delhi
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) comprises the elimination of nonfunctioning, dysfunctional or malignant cells using high-dose chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. This is followed by stem cell rescue sourced from bone marrow or peripheral blood. In autoimmune disease (AID) the main target is to achieve lym- phoablation. The newly generated lymphoid cells will have a new immunological repertoire which hopefully is not auto-reactive. HSCT aims to «SQ»reset«SQ» the dysregulated immune system of AID patients. Most clinical studies reported for HSCT in AID have involved autologous HSCT and have been carried out in patients who have failed to respond to conventional therapies. Many of these patients had advanced active disease, often with organ dysfunction which explains the wide range of transplant-related mortality (TRM) from 1 to 12%. Conditions in which autologous HSCT has been performed with variable degree of success include systemic sclerosis, SLE, RA, JIA, multiple sclerosis and a number of other disorders. Because transplant physicians do not have expertise in AIDs it is vital to actively engage clinical immunologists and rheumatologists in protocol conception for conditioning and post-transplant main- tenance therapy. National and international co-ordination would be helpful in developing guidelines regarding patient selection and defining clinical and scientific endpoints. Hence, all treating teams should comprise of both disease and transplant experts working towards a common goal of achieving maximal benefit with minimal TRM using HSCT in the treatment of AID.

Former Ontario Liberal energy ministers: your turn to eat crow
More enlightening facts from the Lennox gas plant, and how billions have been wasted
There have been a few problems with wind power, former Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault told a business audience almost two years ago. We had no idea how bad.
My earlier article briefly described my recent tour of the Lennox natural gas power facility in Bath, Ontario, and also provided the costs of wind power generation—including what was "curtailed" (wasted; paid for but not used).
The period covered was nine years (2009 to 2017) during which grid-delivered wind power generation was 53.1 TWh* (terawatt hours) and its costs (including 6.9 TWh curtailed) were approximately $8 billion.
What I didn't note earlier was, as we were paying for power generated by wind turbines and curtailed power, we were also paying for spilled hydro and steamed-off nuclear which added additional costs to the GA (Global Adjustment) pot, driving up electricity costs. We started paying for "spilled hydro" in 2011 when the OEB (Ontario Energy Board) allowed OPG to establish a "variance" account. Since that time 18.7 TWh have been spilled by OPG and the cost of $875 million (4.7 cents/kWh) was placed in the GA and paid for by Ontario ratepayers.
Likewise, the cost of 2 TWh of steamed-off nuclear was (about) $140 million (7 cents/kWh) and also became part of the GA. Adding that to the $8 billion costs of wind power in those nine years brings the total to slightly more than $9 billion, as the hydro spilled and nuclear steam-off were due to "surplus baseload generation" (SBG)!
In 95 percent plus of the surplus events, SBG conditions were caused by wind power generation because it is granted "first to the grid" rights.
So, you might ask on reading this, is, how does/could Lennox fit into this situation?
Well, the fact is Lennox is treated as "the leper" in generation sources within the province and is called on only when something untoward or unusual happens, despite its ability to generate power at relatively low cost. Examples of Lennox doing more than idling include this past summer's Lake Ontario algae problem which caused the shutdown of a Pickering nuclear unit (the water intake was clogged) and the winter of 2014 when we experienced the "polar vortex" causing gas prices to spike. As it happens, wind wasn't there for either event and Lennox was called on to provide the power necessary to keep our electricity system functioning. (Wind turbines cannot be turned on when demand suddenly increases when the wind isn't blowing.)
Ontario without wind
If the then Liberal Ontario government had decided not to proceed with the GEA (Green Energy Act) which focused on wind and solar sources, one could justififably wonder how the cost of electricity might have been affected. If we had instead focused on reliability and reasonable costs, Lennox coupled with our other sources, could have easily replaced the intermittent and unreliable generation from wind turbines.
The math: Taking the wind power generation of 53.1 TWh over the nine years out of the picture would have meant those 18.7 TWh of spilled hydro and the 2 TWh of steamed-off nuclear could have reduced the net contribution of wind to 32.4 TWh. That would have saved ratepayers $1.8 billion i.e., (cost of 20.7 TWh of IWT generation @ $135 million/TWh = $2.8 billion, less the cost of 18.7 TWh of spilled hydro @ $46 million/TWh [$875 million] and less the cost of 2 TWh steamed off nuclear @ $70 million/TWh [$140 million])
The remaining 32.4 TWh of wind power generation could have been provided by generation from the OPG Lennox plant (capacity of 2,100 MW). It would have eliminated the $800 million cost of the 6.9 TWh of curtailed wind as it would have produced power only when needed. Now if it ran at only 20 percent of its capacity (gas or oil,) it could have easily generated the remaining 32.4 TWh generated by IWY and accepted into the grid.
Note: No doubt much of that 32.4 TWh wind power generation was presented at times IESO were forced to export it at a substantial loss. For the sake of this calculation we will assume Ontario demand would have required it.
More math: As noted in the earlier article "idling" ** costs for Lennox are fixed at $4.200 per MW per month, making the annual idling costs about $106 million or $8.8 million per month. Running at 20 percent of capacity would result in idling costs per MWh of generation of about $30/MWh.
Adding fuel costs*** of about $40/MWh would result in total costs (on average) of approximately $70/MWh or 7 cents/kWh. Generation at 300,000 MWh per month on average would have generated 32.4 TWh over those nine years (2009–2017). The cost of that generation would be approximately $2.3 billion whereas the 32.4 TWh generated by IWT in those same nine years cost ratepayers about $4.4 billion.
So, without any wind power generation at a cost of $8 billion over the nine years, Ontario ratepayers would have saved almost $4.9 billion:
$1.8 billion using spilled hydro
$200 million using steamed-off nuclear
$800 million paying for curtailed IWT generation and
$2.1 billion by utilizing Lennox
Beyond the dollar savings, the lack of subsidized wind power would also have other effects like:
zero (0) noise complaints, instead of the thousands reported,
elimination of the slaughter of thousands of birds, bats and butterflies
prevented the possible disturbance/contamination of well water
Again, that cost-benefit study might have proved useful!
*1 TWh is about the amount of energy 110,000 average households in Ontario consume annually.
**Idling costs of the TransCanada gas plant next door to Lennox is $15,200 per month per MW or 3.7 times more costly than Lennox.
***Lennox has the ability to generate electricity using either natural gas or oil meaning if a fuel priced spikes, as natural gas did during the "polar vortex" in 2014, Lennox can shift to the cheaper fuel.

Some of you may recall the last Minister of Energy for the OLP was Glenn Thibeault (picture above with the then Premier) and shortly before the Wynne led government announced the 17% "rebate" in early 2017 he spoke at the Economic Club of Canada in Ottawa. In an article in the Toronto Star they noted: "By moving early on renewable power, Ontario has taken a leadership position in green energy in what was "absolutely the right policy" as the province phased out heavily polluting coal-fired power plants, Thibeault insisted." As the above spells out the "leadership position" which he touted as "the right policy" cost Ontario ratepayers billions!

And we know of course that moving forward on wind/solar was certainly NOT necessary to eliminate coal. 70% of that power came from the reactivation and refurbishment of Bruce A. Conservation accounted for most of the remainder. The construction of Darlington B, as OPG intended, would have also been cheaper than the GEA and kept generation publicly owned while allowing for Pickering A to retire.

We now have a very serious situation in Ontario, that has been allowed to develop because the Liberal government refused to listen to and respect and protect people who were reporting harm. See the latest comment from Professor Richard Mann at the CMAJ blog:
https://cmajblogs.com/health-canada-and-wind-turbines-too-little-too-late/
To date, the recipients of this letter, within this new government, have not responded. Who all will be held liable for the harm?
How many other people are experiencing the cumulative harm from infrasound?
Richard Mann is an "associate" professor in computer science at the University of Waterloo.

In addition to a full time forty hour plus per week job, I've been running this site week in and week out for over eighteen months without pause. Though there are some weeks when only one article posts, nevertheless each and every article takes painstaking hours of research and writing. There is a reason why the Hub City's reviews are often above the caliber of paid professionals. But that quality comes at a cost. As a result, I'm taking some much needed time off, with the hopes of coming back reinvigorated and ready to write more of the best reviews anywhere online.
In the meantime, I'll be hitting the gym more regularly, catching up on some much needed sleep finally, and enjoying Mass Effect Andromeda and Persona 5 free from the pressure to rush through new entries in two of my favorite franchises for the sake of review.
