Facebook announced the imminent shutdown on Thursday, saying key Paper features like Instant Articles are already integrated into Facebook for iOS, reports The Verge. Paper is no longer available from the App Store and existing users have received notification that supporting services are to be discontinued on July 29.
"Our goal with Paper was to explore new immersive, interactive design elements for reading and interacting with content on Facebook, and we learned how important these elements are in giving people an engaging experience," the company said.
When it debuted in early 2014, Paper garnered critical acclaim for its streamlined interface and fresh take on feed customization. Like a traditional newsreader, the app allowed users to arrange updates by category, but eschewed common user interface elements like virtual buttons in favor of interactive animations. For example, photos, status updates and articles were displayed in full screen, while browsing was accomplished via a swipe-able card system.
Dreamed up by Mike Matas of Push Pop Press, a digital book developer purchased by Facebook in 2011, Paper enjoyed a small but devout following, though development stopped as the company moved on to other projects. The iOS app version has not been updated for over a year. The group in charge of Paper, Facebook's Creative Labs, ceased operations in December and Matas departed months later.


'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' 'Free Solo' also win trophies, while Guillermo del Toro was presented with the Golden Eddie.
Bohemian Rhapsody editor John Ottman and The Favourite editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis won the awards for best edited dramatic feature and best-edited comedy feature, respectively, at the 68th annual American Cinema Editors Eddie Awards on Friday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Ottman topped a field that included the editors of BlacKkKlansman, First Man, A Star is Born and Roma. For the best-edited feature film, comedy category, the editors of Crazy Rich Asians, Deadpool 2, Green Book and Vice were nominated.
Ottman, Mavrosaridis, BlacKkKlansman editor Barry Alexander Brown, Green Book editor Patrick J. Don Vito and Vice editor Hank Corwin are nominated for the Oscar in film editing. In 11 of the last 15 years, the winner of the best edited dramatic feature Eddie went on to win the Oscar.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was named best edited animated feature. The category was introduced in 2010 and, since then, the film that won the Eddie has mirrored the recipient of the Oscar for best-animated feature all but once. The Lego Movie won the Eddie in 2015, yet Big Hero Six nabbed the Oscar.
The climbing doc Free Solo, which is also Oscar-nominated, won the Eddie Award for feature documentary.
Additionally, Octavia Spencer presented filmmaker Guillermo del Toro with the Golden Eddie. He talked about his work with editors as that of a "true partnership."
Craig McKay and Jerrold L. Ludwig were the evening's Career Achievement Award recipients.
Editor Hunter Gross thanked the late Anthony Bourdain as he accepted an Eddie for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Councilman Hinterlong Suggests 'Entrapment' For Uber
If Naperville councilman Paul Hinterlong would like you to invite him over for a poker game, don't do it, because it might be a trap. The next thing you know, the Naperville SWAT team will be busting down your door, and hauling you to the Gray Bar Hotel for running a gambling house. In fact, if you happen to see councilman Hinterlong and Naperville police chief Bob Marshall conferring in the inky shadows of city hall, you might want to walk in the opposite direction. It appears both are more than willing to joyfully spring a trap on you, based on a scheme they were hatching during Tuesday night's city council meeting. It seems Hinterlong and Marshall are not fans of Uber (ride share).
Apparently Mayor George Pradel isn't a fan either. He doesn't know what a 'Uber car' looks like, but he knows he doesn't like it.
Watch and listen as Hinterlong and police chief Marshall banter about "setting Uber up" for the take-down.
In fairness to Hinterlong, 'setting people or businesses up to take a fall' can be entertaining, and Marshall's most recent position in Naperville was assistant city manager, so how is he supposed to know that Uber isn't breaking any Naperville ordinance; it's not like police chief Marshall is a police officer.
Fortunately for the City of Naperville, the residents, and Uber, councilman Steve Chirico stepped in, along with Naperville city attorney Jill Pelka-Wilger, and councilman Bob Fieseler to keep Hinterlong in his seat, and keep Marshall's gun in his holster, when each said in his or her own way, 'hey slow down cowboys' and let's use our heads.
As councilman Bob Fieseler concluded with much wisdom, "I would say we would want to be pretty sober before we venture into this". If we would have had four years worth of this type of wisdom and common sense from Bob, we would have all wanted him to stay for another term, but that darn not-so Smart Meter fiasco got in the way.
Naperville councilman Paul Hinterlong wasn't done with his shovel when he dug a hole with the "set 'em up" comment. He concluded by saying, "I would like to see us go after these guys (Uber ride share) and let them know they are not welcome in our town". Re-watch and listen to the following 10-second video clip:
Wow, 89 days before the election and Hinterlong is trying to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. Has he forgotten that we live with a free market system and people should be allowed to use technology to start a business. The Naperville city council was successful in preventing an entrepreneurial designated driving service business from entering Naperville, but as councilman Fieseler said, "Uber is very well staffed and lawyered-up to pursue this" free-market enterprise.
If councilman Hinterlong wants to make a bet with you on Oregon over Ohio State, don't do it….it could be a set-up.
3 Responses to "Councilman Hinterlong Suggests 'Entrapment' For Uber"
Is this what happened to Dick Furstenau, Jen Stahl and Kim Bendis? Someone in the City didn't like them so they were set up by the police department leadership? This hothead appears to be unclear about the taxi fee ordinances. Yet he's on the record, opining with the Police Manager, on how to "go after these guys and let them know they are not welcome in our town." Scary stuff. How does one Council member direct police action? How often does this go on?
Why isn't Naperville working with the extremely popular Uber to make our city a model for the rest of the world embracing modern technology for safe, convenient and affordable transportation?
We need new younger minded, fresh thinkers on our Council. These legacy old timers need to retire.
Uber confused says:
The deaf, dumb, and blind leading the blind – "yeah, yeah, that right, let's set up an Uber sting", "But wait, I don't know what an Uber car looks like."
Seems like they are Uber confused. And non-police Police Chief Marshal is earning every penny of his triple dipping pay/pension as far as they're concerned by going along with every hair-brained scheme they come up with. Let's arrest and fine people who AREN"T breaking the law, because we don't agree with or understand what they are doing.
Maybe if it was called "Uber Smart Rides" and had a super-duper-Uber-wifi meter displayed on the exterior of the car city council would get behind it.
What a bunch of Luddites!
Ed James says:
I think the Police Chief should stick to trying to regulate things he understands… like drones.
Some New Council Members; Some Same Issues Naperville Councilman Going Away

Over the past week, our editors have been attending the runway shows and showcases of all of your favorite bridal designers, who are revealing their newest wedding dresses during Bridal Fashion Week. Dare we say it's our favorite week of the entire year? What's not to love about getting to fawn over some truly gorgeous gowns, and getting a sneak peek at all of the upcoming wedding dress trends brides will surely be rocking in 2020. But there's more than just dream dress inspiration walking the runways at Bridal Fashion Week. This season, we also got a preview of the wedding hair accessory trends that'll be everywhere in 2020.
If your date is set for next year, listen up brides! These new wedding hair accessory trends are just the place to start when it comes to choosing your wedding hairstyle for the big day. We spied gauzy Juliet veils at Reem Acra and bold, floppy hats at Willowby by Watters. And just like the dainty floral appliqués that have been trending on wedding dresses, 3-D floral hair accessories seem to be very in this season.
Ready to see all of our favorite wedding hair accessory trends from Spring 2020's Bridal Fashion Week? Maybe one of these will be the finishing touch to your very own wedding day look!
Like the 3-D floral appliqués cascading down the skirts of wedding dresses, 3-D florals were also adorning the tresses of the models walking the runways at Bridal Fashion Week. Fresh and fun, these hair accessories just scream springtime. Willowby by Watters featured these funky florals on kitschy headbands, while the new Blush by Hayley Paige collection showed them freely floating through hair. Either way, consider these the new flower crowns!
Barrettes for brides? Yes, please! The '90s hair accessory staple has gotten a wedding-worthy makeover, thanks to a dose of sparkle and delicate detailing. These little baubles are just the thing to hold your hair out of your face for that perfect half-up, half-down wedding hairstyle.
Hats off to this trend! While it may seem like an unexpected hair accessory for a wedding, we're obsessed with this fashion-forward look. Try a wide-brimmed straw hat for nuptials inspired by the French countryside, or a floppy black hat for an indie boho/rock star look.
With a whimsical, Renaissance-esque vibe, circlets are also capturing brides' attention. We love them for a summer woodland wedding—or perhaps even a Game of Thrones–inspired bash!
Inspired by the Shakespearean heroine, these capped veils are impossibly romantic and so unexpected.

Biology: From the Unsocial to the Social Synthesis
Maurizio Meloni
ASH Auditorium
In his talk, Dr. Meloni argues that some key concepts in biology have changed significantly over the last two decades, with important, but often underappreciated, consequences for the humanities and the social sciences. In order to justify this claim, Dr. Meloni sketches an opposition between the modern synthesis of neo-Darwinism established in the 1930s/1940s and what he calls the (emerging) contemporary social synthesis of postgenomic biology.
Dr. Meloni also proposes that this situation has crucial consequences not only for biology but for the humanities and the social sciences, offering an epistemologically solid basis to consolidate the minority--but important--voices of those humanists and social scientists who have already started to think in novel biosocial and biocultural ways beyond the nature/nurture dichotomies of the past.
Maurizio Meloni is a social theorist working on the history and political implications of the life sciences, neuroscience, and epigenetics. He is honorary senior lecturer with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies, University of Exeter, U.K. For 2014-2015 he is a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (School of Social Science), Princeton, where he has been awarded a fellowship for his research on sociology and epigenetics.

Birth Across Cultures: An Evolutionary Perspective
Robbie Davis-Floyd, Ph.D.
Franklin Paterson Hall, Main Lecture Hall
Robbie Davis-Floyd Ph.D., senior research fellow, department of anthropology, University of Texas Austin and fellow of the Society for Applied Anthropology, is a medical anthropologist specializing in the anthropology of reproduction. An international speaker and researcher, she is the author of over 80 articles and Birth as an American Rite of Passage (1992, 2004), coauthor of From Doctor to Healer: The Transformative Journey (1998) and The Power of Ritual (forthcoming), and lead editor of 10 collections, the latest of which is Birth Models That Work (2009), which highlights optimal models of birth care around the world. Birth Models That Work Volume II: Birth on the Global Edge, co-edited with Betty-Anne Daviss, will be forthcoming in 2014. Her current research project studies the paradigm shifts of holistic obstetricians in Brazil. Dr. Davis-Floyd serves as editor for the International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative (IMBCI): 10 Steps to Optimal Maternity Care, board member of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Organization (IMBCO), and senior advisor to the Council on Anthropology and Reproduction. Most of her published articles are freely available on her website.
This talk takes an evolutionary perspective on the cultural treatment of human childbirth, exploring cross-cultural birth practices in all six types of human subsistence strategies (hunting-gathering, horticulture, agriculture, pastoralism, industrial society, and the technocracy), noting pre-modern similarities across vast cultural differences, examining the homogenizing effects of modernization, and exploring the possibilities of a postmodern mentality for improving the technocratic treatment of birth. The story of the Three Little Pigs provides an over-arching framework for the talk, with the "big bad wolf" understood as a metaphor for the dangers of nature and the cultural fears of nature that developed in concordance with the evolution of agriculture and industrialization. Although pre-modern birth practices varied widely across the cultural spectrum, they held strong similarities in that they consistently honored the normal physiology and psychology of birth. An anthropological view shows that appearance of cultural difference fades in relation to the cross-cultural similarities in the provision of companionship for laboring women, freedom of movement, upright positions for birth, and the use of various artifacts such as ropes, hammocks, and poles to support upright positions. The advent of industrialization and the concordant ascendance of technology and biomedicine obfuscated traditional knowledge about birth physiology, replacing it with mechanistic efforts to control the birth process. Our challenge today is to reincorporate traditional understandings of birth physiology, use new technologies appropriately, and bring a postmodern mentality that incorporates scientific evidence with traditional and professional midwifery knowledge to our cultural understanding and management of birth.
An Evening of Midwifery

Film Screening and discussion: Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin and The Farm Midwives; post-screening discussion facilitated by CBD Director Pamela K. Stone. Adele Simmons Hall Auditorium, Room 112
Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin and The Farm Midwives captures a spirited group of women who taught themselves how to deliver babies on a 1970s hippie commune, rescued modern midwifery from extinction, and changed the way a generation thought about childbirth. Today, as nearly 1/3 of all U.S. babies are born via C-section, they labor on, fighting to preserve their knowledge and pushing, once again, for the rebirth of birth." (birthstorymovie.com)

"Fetal Origins of Child Development: Emerging Evidence of Maternal and Epigenetic Effects in Utero," by Catherine Monk, Ph.D.
Main Lecture Hall, Franklin Patterson Hall
Catherine Monk, Ph.D. is associate professor in the departments of psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology, and associate director for research at the Women's Program, Columbia University Medical Center. Trained as a clinical psychologist, she spends the majority of her time on research, and a small percent treating women during and after pregnancy. Dr. Monk's research centers on psychopathology, developmental psychobiology, and perinatal psychiatry. A primary focus of her work is the possible roles of pregnant women's depression in the familial transmission of risk for psychiatric disorders. She has several ongoing research projects funded by the National Institutes of Health including an intervention study titled "Behavioral Change in the Mother/Infant Dyad: Preventing Postpartum Depression." Dr. Monk received her undergraduate degree from Barnard College and her doctorate from the City University of New York. She completed a NIMH-supported postdoctoral fellowship in the psychobiological sciences at Columbia prior to joining the faculty.
Consistent with a developmental focus on the etiology of mental disorders, mounting evidence indicates that prenatal exposure to maternal distress--anxiety in particular--exerts pervasive effects on infant and child physiology, behavior, and neurobehavioral trajectories. By inference, these findings implicate in utero alterations of fetal CNS development, and suggest that evidence of the maternal influence should be identifiable during the period when it occurs. The relatively few studies of fetal behavior add novel, proximal data to the accumulating cross-sectional research on maternal prenatal distress effects. Fetal studies avoid an interpretive challenge by characterizing prenatal effects independent of postnatal factors; these show some functional relevance by demonstrating continuity with infant development, and help identify which physiological effectors of maternal distress shape child outcomes such that maternal experience "gets under fetal skin." This presentation will review this fetal research while adding the contexts of assessing maternal psychosocial functioning in light of NIMH's Research Domain Criteria (the initiative to redefine for research purposes the clinical diagnostic system) and questions of the clinical care of pregnant women.
"Undoing 'One-Sidedness'--Sexology, Gender, History," by Kirsten Leng, Ph.D., PUBLIC LECTURE
Kirsten Leng, Ph.D. is an ACLS New Faculty Fellow with the department of history and Institute for Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Columbia University. Her research examines the emergence of sexology as a field between the years 1890 and 1933 and probes its relationships to contemporaneous movements for women's rights and sexual reform. She is currently working on a manuscript entitled Sexual Knowledge/Sexual Politics: Contesting Truth and Power in Early Twentieth Century. From 2011 to 2013 she was a postdoctoral fellow with The Sexualities Project at Northwestern University.
ABSTRACT: What role did women play in the creation of sexology in the early twentieth century? Why have historians largely elided women's involvement? And how might a focus on women and gender revise the history of sexology itself? Such questions are at the heart of my current research, which rethinks sexology's history through the lens of gender between the years 1890 and 1933. In this talk, I will make the case that asserting women's role in the history of sexology does not merely correct the historical record or "recover" women's neglected contributions in a straightforward, celebratory way, but in fact enriches our understanding of sexology itself. Specifically, focusing on women's contributions and the gendered dynamics of knowledge production reveals sexology to have been a dynamic, highly contested site of knowledge and politics, one wherein truth and expertise were "up for grabs" and one whose findings had both emancipating and repressive potentials for individuals and society. I therefore challenge static representations of sexology as an "always already" authoritative and masculine science, whose disciplinary powers have been relatively constant throughout the modern era. Instead, I put forward a view of sexology as a staging ground for gendered conflicts over objectivity and authority vis-à-vis sex and sexuality, and over the socio-political implications of sexual scientific knowledge.
"What I Did This Summer:" CBD Student Presentations

Students will present their work and talk about how it fits within the context of a Hampshire education. The program also will include a student-led panel discussion on "What I Did This Summer." Here, CBD-funded students will share their experiences, as well as what to expect (and what they never expected they would do) as a summer intern. Questions from the audience are strongly encouraged!
"Borges' Ficciones and Zeno's Paradoxes Intersect at Infinity," by William Goldbloom Bloch, Ph.D., PUBLIC LECTURE
Franklin Patterson Hall, West Lecture Hall
Dr. William Goldbloom Bloch is professor of mathematics at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. At various times, he's been smitten by the Big Questions, mathematics, the (conjectural) Platonic form of elegance, Aristotleian aporia, and the limits of logic. Prior to coming to Wheaton, he pursued these topics with maniacal abandon at Reed College, the University of California at Berkeley, and as a postdoc at the University of Texas at Austin. His book The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel (Oxford University Press, 2008) was the runner-up for the 2008 PROSE award in mathematical writing.
ABSTRACT: Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine poet, essayist, and writer of short fiction. His works are headwaters to the literary streams of magical realism and metafiction. Zeno of Elea composed a short tract of paradoxes focusing on infinity and the impossibility of motion. His paradoxes were designed to confuse those who dismissed the ideas of his master, Parmenides. Simple to state, they are imbued with an enduring irksome appeal. Because they are "obviously wrong," most generations believe them conclusively resolved, but Borges rightly worried about them. We'll discuss two of Zeno's paradoxes and a few of the ways Borges embodied those ideas in his stories. Finally, hoping to sow confusion anew, we'll update one of Zeno's paradoxes by using an idea from the mathematical analysis of infinite series.


Just north of the Prado, tucked away just off the Calle de Génova, a main thoroughfare through Madrid, sits Calle Orfila, home to more galleries on a single block than probably any other in the city. Below are three of our favorites, followed by an obligatory, inadequate reference to the Reina Sofía.
The Marlborough empire stretches into Madrid, focusing here on Spanish artists. Juan José Aquerreta paintings - elegant little still lifes that suggest Morandi if he had decided to paint bright, glimmering fruit and rich, dark pottery - were on display on our visit. The gallery itself is large and airy space; well worth a visit.
Soledad Lorenzo sits right next door to Marlborough and shares its address. Though equally ambitious (they represent Catalan superstar Antoni Tàpies), their program veers toward the more adventurous, having worked with Tony Oursler, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Robert Longo. Having just seen a show of Erik Schmidt's impastoed canvases at Elizabeth Dee a few months ago, walking in to find more of his work on a random street in Madrid was a particular uncanny experience. He handles his thick, heavy paint so lightly it could be meringue. The title of his work above is a winner.
Galería Cayón largely focuses on secondary market work, but they feature that choice material, usually grounded in minimalism and international, in frequent group shows.
Spain's national museum could comfortably curate its permanent collection throughout its enormous series of buildings (or just store away everything but Guernica) and still be one of the world's best, most-visited art museums. It turns out that the staff does a great job with their collection but also finds time to tackle major contemporary projects. Paul Thek, who still so absurdly marginalized in American museums (though his work regularly on display at the Walker is one of the first works of art I remember seeing as a kid), gets a major retrospective in one gallery, Richard Serra dominates another with a permanent installation. A tower of mirrors (brutally underserved by my photographs) built by Leandro Erlich (responsible for the faux-swimming pool at P.S.1 at the moment) and videos by Alia Syed rounded out the pretty remarkable selection of artists.

King Soopers will allow vaccinated shoppers to ditch their masks at Colorado stores
Parent company Kroger says change will be effective Thursday
By Mattm Sebastian | msebastian@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: May 19, 2021 at 12:58 p.m. | UPDATED: May 19, 2021 at 9:21 p.m.
King Soopers and City Market locations in Colorado no longer will require fully vaccinated customers or most fully vaccinated employees to wear masks inside the chains' grocery stores beginning Thursday — unless a local mandate requires facial coverings, parent company Kroger announced.
RELATED: Mask confusion: Varying policies take hold after many Colorado mandates end
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday lifted nearly all of the state's mask order, allowing people to go mask-free in most indoor public settings unless stricter local measures are in place. The state's order requests that nonvaccinated people continue wearing masks, but does not require it.
Denver and other metro counties followed suit, tailoring any remaining local ordinances to match the state's position.
Businesses are free to continue requiring masks, and King Soopers had until Wednesday's announcement by Kroger.
The company's announcement says:
Fully vaccinated customers and most fully vaccinated employees no longer need to wear masks beginning May 20 in facilities that include stores, distribution centers, plants and offices — unless otherwise required by state or local governments
Non-vaccinated employees will be required to wear masks
Employees in the chain's pharmacy and clinic locations will be required to continue wearing masks under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance
The company requests that nonvaccinated customers continue wearing masks
The grocer also will "continue to respect the choice of individuals who prefer to continue to wear a mask"
National chains including Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco, Home Depot, Target, Starbucks and CVS have begun ending their mask requirements in locations where state and local mandates have been lifted. As of this week, Safeway's parent company still required masks at its stores.
The YMCA of Metro Denver notified members Wednesday that it has dropped the mask requirement effectively immediately for fully vaccinated people inside its workout facilities. The Y will encourage members and staff who aren't vaccinated — or have health concerns — to continue wearing masks.

As the tragedy of war hits home for more and more American families (123 GIs killed in Iraq during May, more than 600 wounded), and, of course, with many times this number of Iraqi families impacted, it is clearly time for us to up the level of our activism and insist that our government end this tragic war of aggression.
We invite you to participate in giving our Rush Hour Peace Demonstrations higher profile. We are reviving the custom of asking as many people as possible to turn out on the first Wednesday of the month for at least some of the time we are out at Broadway & Providence (4:15-5:45 p.m.). Our goal at this juncture is to turn out at least 50 people.
Can you commit to participating?
If so, please send us an e-mail (post to: mail@midmopeaceworks.org) saying "count me in."
The level of response really rises when our numbers exceed the usual dozen or 15. When there are 25-30, the honking becomes noticeably more continuous. If we hit 50, people will really take notice, big time. Your presence will make it clear to others that we take ending the war seriously and we want them to join in a movement that insists that Congress pulls the plug on this horrible war.
Bring friends, family, co-workers, etc. Please come out and join us. Signs and banners provided (although you are welcome to bring your own).


Volunteer for our Lenten Fish Fry Dinners!
Once you sign up for a specific job and shift, you are guaranteed that spot. If you are not signed up but would still like to help, we will be place you in positions where we are short-handed. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

LAGOS (AA) - Nigerian security operatives on Monday clashed with hundreds of Igbo secessionist protesters in the country's southeastern city of Onitsha, reportedly resulting in multiple deaths and arrests of activists.
Spokesman for the secessionist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Emma Powerful claimed that up to 30 members of the group had been shot dead following a protest commemorating 49 years since the botched declaration of the Biafra Republic.
"We were holding a peaceful demonstration to commemorate and celebrate Biafra when a combined team of policemen and soldiers shot at our members. We lost 30 members while several others were injured," Powerful told reporters in Onitsha, commercial hub of the southeastern Anambra state.
He said dozens of their members had also been arrested.
Jonathan Anabah, a resident of the commercial town, confirmed the violent clashes to Anadolu Agency.
"There were clashes following a face-off between the security operatives and the IPOB members. Police said they did not obtain a permit to protest and insisted they disperse. This later led to a violent confrontation. A soldier died while a number of the protesters also got killed," according to Anabah, a trader.
Police spokesman in the state Ali Okechukwu confirmed the incident but remained silent when asked if anyone had died.
"We made some arrests but I can't give any details at the moment. Security agencies tried to maintain peace and order but we were attacked. Arrests have been made and we will prosecute as appropriate," he told Anadolu Agency by phone.
Anadolu Agency also learned of arrest of some persons in Owerri, the capital city of southeastern Imo, where IPOB had also held similar protest commemorating the failed secession of Biafra from Nigeria on May 30,1967.
Championed by the late military officer Odumegu Ojukwu, ethnic Igbo people sought to carve out an independent state from Nigeria after alleging discrimination against and massacre of their men in other parts of the country.
The IPOB led by Nnamdi Kanu, who is now in detention answering to treason charges, seeks to revive the Biafra agitation.

Mold discovered at Flagler County Sheriff's Office
By Danielle Lama, FOX 35 ORLANDO
Posted May 16 2019 12:05AM EDT
Video Posted May 15 2019 11:36PM EDT
PALM COAST, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is again looking for a work space after county officials say they found mold inside the building they were supposed to temporarily move into.
Flagler County officials say they recently purchased the former Sear's building in Palm Coast for $1.1 million. They say as crews started prepping the place Monday, it started to rain and water began dripping down the walls.
"It's absolutely frustrating," said Julie Murphy, a spokesperson for Flagler County.
She says once they took a closer look – they found water intrusion, black mold and other big problems at the building.The site was supposed to house sheriff's office employees who have been displaced from their own sick building.
"For the first few months, it wasn't that bad. But next month will be a year that we've been out and we're starting to really feel it," said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly.
Thirty-seven employees reported getting sick while working at the sheriff's office operations center in Bunnell. Now, it sits empty.Deputies and civilian employees have been forced to spread out – in the courthouse, jail and even renting office space.
The county says a lot of those workers were supposed to go into the former Sear's building while a new facility for the sheriff's office is built.
"Given that we are dealing with mold problems at the other sheriff's operations center - the last thing were going to do is put them into different building that also has a mold issue," Murphy said.
Sheriff Staly says he will never put his people into the building and that they're back to square one.
"This whole thing has been a fiasco," Staly said.
County officials say they didn't know about the building's problems before they made the purchase. They say they're looking into any and all legal remedies.

Q: Slick2D Alpha Lighting Issues I'm writing an Alpha Map Lighting system, and I've been successful to some degree. Here is my code:
g.clearAlphaMap();
g.setDrawMode(Graphics.MODE_ALPHA_MAP);

GL11.glEnable(SGL.GL_BLEND);
GL11.glBlendFunc(GL11.GL_ONE, GL11.GL_ONE);
g.setAntiAlias(true);

World.alphaImage.draw((200*World.tileConstant+World.globalOffsetX) - 150,(200*World.tileConstant+World.globalOffsetY) - 150, 300, 300);

g.setDrawMode(Graphics.MODE_ALPHA_BLEND);

GL11.glBlendFunc(GL11.GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA,GL11.GL_DST_ALPHA);
Color color = new Color(0, 0, 0, .5F);
g.setColor(color);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 900, 600);

g.setDrawMode(Graphics.MODE_NORMAL);

The issue is, when I do:
Color color = new Color(0, 0, 0, .5F);
g.setColor(color);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 900, 600);

It just shows a fully opaque black where it is not lit up rather than 0.5f. Any ideas why?

Heterocypsela   H. Rob., 1979 è un genere di piante angiosperme dicotiledoni della famiglia delle Asteraceae.

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico del genere è stato definito per la prima volta dal botanico Harold Ernest Robinson (1932-2020) nella pubblicazione " Phytologia; Designed to Expedite Botanical Publication. New York" (Phytologia 44(7): 442) del 1979.

Descrizione
Le piante di questo genere sono erbacee perenni. Talvolta sono ricoperte da peli simmetrici a forma di "T" e gli organi interni contengono lattoni sesquiterpenici.

Le foglie a volte formano una rosetta basale; mentre lungo il caule sono disposte in modo alterno. La forma della lamina è varia (da lanceolata a ovata). Le venature sono pennate. I bordi possono essere continui o dentati. Le stipole sono assenti. La superficie superiore è verde, quella inferiore è più scura.

Le infiorescenze sono formate da capolini, peduncolati, raccolti in formazioni di tipo cimoso scorpioide oppure sono organizzate in glomeruli ascellari. I capolini sono composti da un involucro a forma cilindrica, campanulata o globosa formato da circa 70 brattee disposte in modo embricato su circa 6 serie che fanno da protezione al ricettacolo sul quale s'inseriscono i fiori tubulosi. Le brattee sono connate, caudate-acuminate e per lo più persistenti. Il ricettacolo, piatto o convesso, è nudo (senza pagliette). Lunghezza dei peduncoli: 5 – 30 mm.

I fiori, circa 60 - 70 per ogni capolino, sono tetra-ciclici (ossia sono presenti 4 verticilli: calice – corolla – androceo – gineceo) e pentameri (ogni verticillo ha in genere 5 elementi). I fiori sono inoltre ermafroditi (e fertili) e actinomorfi (ossia tubulosi).

Formula fiorale:
 */x K , [C (5), A (5)], G 2 (infero), achenio

 Calice: i sepali del calice sono ridotti ad una coroncina di squame.
 Corolla: la corolla dei fiori è formata da un tubo terminante in 5 lunghi lobi. Il colore in prevalenza è lavanda.
 Androceo: gli stami sono 5 con filamenti liberi e distinti, mentre le antere sono saldate in un manicotto (o tubo) circondante lo stilo. Le teche delle antere sono smussate, mentre le antere sono caudate con appendici a pareti sottili e glabre (in alcuni pochi casi sono ricoperte da ghiandole). Il polline è subtriporato (con tre aperture di tipo isodiametrica o poro) ed echinato (con punte) è inoltre "lophato".
 Gineceo: lo stilo è filiforme con base provvista di nodi. La pubescenza è formata da peli a spazzola. L'ovario è infero uniloculare formato da 2 carpelli. L'ovulo è unico e anatropo. Gli stigmi dello stilo sono due ed hanno la superficie stigmatica interna (vicino alla base).

I frutti sono degli acheni con pappo. La forma degli acheni esterni è obcompressa con 5 coste alate, spesso alate e provviste di densi rafidi subquadrati; la superficie può essere glabra o setolosa. La forma degli acheni interni è prismatica con superficie setolosa. Non è presente la fitomelanina. Il pappo è formato da setole; quello esterno è deciduo, quello interno è un po' persistente.

Biologia
 Impollinazione: l'impollinazione avviene tramite insetti (impollinazione entomogama tramite farfalle diurne e notturne).
 Riproduzione: la fecondazione avviene fondamentalmente tramite l'impollinazione dei fiori (vedi sopra).
 Dispersione: i semi (gli acheni) cadendo a terra sono successivamente dispersi soprattutto da insetti tipo formiche (disseminazione mirmecoria). In questo tipo di piante avviene anche un altro tipo di dispersione: zoocoria. Infatti gli uncini delle brattee dell'involucro si agganciano ai peli degli animali di passaggio disperdendo così anche su lunghe distanze i semi della pianta.

Distribuzione e habitat
Le specie di questo gruppo si trovano principalmente in Brasile.

Sistematica
La famiglia di appartenenza di questa voce (Asteraceae o Compositae, nomen conservandum) probabilmente originaria del Sud America, è la più numerosa del mondo vegetale, comprende oltre 23.000 specie distribuite su 1.535 generi, oppure 22.750 specie e 1.530 generi secondo altre fonti (una delle checklist più aggiornata elenca fino a 1.679 generi). La famiglia attualmente (2021) è divisa in 16 sottofamiglie.

Filogenesi
Le specie di questo gruppo appartengono alla sottotribù Dipterocypselinae descritta all'interno della tribù Vernonieae Cass. della sottofamiglia Vernonioideae Lindl.. Questa classificazione è stata ottenuta ultimamente con le analisi del DNA delle varie specie del gruppo. Da un punto di vista filogenetico in base alle ultime analisi sul DNA la tribù Vernonieae è risultata divisa in due grandi cladi: Muovo Mondo e Vecchio Mondo. I generi di Dipterocypselinae appartengono al subclade relativo all'America tropicale (l'altro subclade americano comprende anche specie del Nord America e del Messico).

I caratteri distintivi per le specie di questo genere sono:
 i capolini sono peduncolati;
 le brattee dell'involucro sono acuminate, alate e con ciglia;
 il polline è "lophato";
 la corolla è actinomorfa.

Elenco delle specie
Questo genere ha 2 specie:
 Heterocypsela andersonii  H. Rob.
 Heterocypsela brachylepis J.N. Nakaj. & D. Marques

Why is so hard to be a servant to our spouse? Serving is hard isn't it? It takes being completely selfless, and less self-absorbed. It takes being less selfish and more concerned about our spouse than ourselves. Have you ever tried to serve when you really don't feel like it? Do you remember the Peace that came over you when you realized it's not about you and about someone else? Ponder this thought this week and do something nice (even if it is small) for your spouse.
Don't miss the latest sermon by Matt Chandler!!
I still do my husband's laundry even when he says mean things to me and continues to call me names. It's hard for me to do this. I start out piling all his clothes in the basket and leaving it in hi closet. But the Holly Spirit convicts me. When I obey the holly Spirit I at peace.

Les litanies sont, dans la tradition chrétienne (principalement orthodoxe et catholique), un type de prière vocale caractérisée par la répétition psalmodiée de demandes d'intercession : « Priez pour nous ».  Adressée à la Vierge Marie, au Sacré-Cœur ou à différents saints, cette prière litanique sollicite leur intercession auprès de Dieu. Leur origine est hébraïque.

Origine et développements
Ce type de prière serait connu du monde juif au temps de Jésus. Le psaume 136 est litanique : à la récitation psalmodique des qualités et grandes œuvres du Seigneur, le peuple répond : .

Paul dans sa lettre à Timothée recommande que la prière liturgique inclut des « supplications » (1 Tm:2:1-4). Des ébauches de litanies et supplications se trouvent dans les plus anciennes relations de célébrations eucharistiques, tel la Tradition apostolique, un traité de saint Hippolyte (datant de 215) et l'anaphore de Sérapion de Thmuis (dans son Sacramentaire). Telles que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui la prière des litanies a sans doute son origine () à Antioche.  La pratique se diffuse à Constantinople et passe bientôt à l'Occident chrétien.

Le pape Gélase (492-496) compose de nouvelles litanies et supplications qui sont incluses dans la célébration de l'Eucharistie. Mais, un siècle plus tard, leur usage est restreint et limité aux fêtes spéciales par le pape Grégoire le Grand (590-604). Seule la brève litanie du Kyrie eleison reste présente dans la partie ordinaire de la célébration liturgique.

Les litanies entrent également dans les célébrations processionnelles de l'Église. Elles furent récitées une première fois en 590, par injonction du pape Grégoire le Grand, lors d'une procession publique d'action de grâce.

Aujourd'hui
Cette prière, généralement psalmodiée en groupes restreints, fait également partie de certaines cérémonies liturgiques solennelles de l'Église catholique. Ainsi les litanies des saints sont chantées lors de la veillée pascale, des cérémonies de baptême, des ordinations sacerdotales ou épiscopales et à la Toussaint (la fête de tous les saints).

Ces litanies peuvent être aussi priées avant une épreuve difficile, en cas d'angoisses ou en période de détresse, par exemple lors d'un cataclysme, une guerre ou une famine. Elles furent chantées, par exemple, lors des obsèques du pape Jean-Paul II en 2005. Elles commencent toujours par triple Kyrie eleison (« Seigneur, prend pitié ») et se terminent par une invocation.

Litanies les plus connues
Les prières litaniques les plus connues sont de loin les Litanies à la Vierge Marie, dites Litanies de Lorette, qui ont d'ailleurs fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptations musicales dont les dix Litaniae Lauretanae BMV.K109(I/II/III/IV/V) et BMV.K195((I/II/III/IV/V) de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Elles sont chantées en l'honneur de la mère de Dieu sous 51 vocables différents. D'origine supposée orientale, bien que pouvant être inspirée de pratique vocale traditionnelle et rurale du centre-sud de l'Italie, leur usage est attesté à Lorette (dans les Marches Italiennes) dès 1558, et officiellement approuvé par Sixte V en 1587.

Certains historiens émettent toutefois l'hypothèse que ces longues invocations n'ont pas d'origine biblique, mais viennent plutôt de la poésie latine médiévale ou de l'Hymne acathiste byzantine à la Mère de Dieu.

Les titres donnés à la Vierge Marie (« Tour de David », « Maison d'or »...), sont tirés des écrits des Pères de l'Église des premiers siècles et sont adressés à la Madone de Lorette représentée par la statue de la Madone de Lorette.

Litanies de la Vierge Marie, une version modernisée des Litanies de Lorette qui fut approuvée par le Saint-Siège en 1981.
Litanies de saint Joseph. Conçues sur le modèle des litanies de Lorette elles contiennent 21 invocations à saint Joseph (ses vertus, sa dignité de père nourricier de Jésus) elles sont approuvées par Pie X en 1909.
Litanies des saints. De loin les plus anciennes, elles sont en usage depuis 590 et servirent de modèles aux suivantes.

Litanies de sainte Rita. Inspirées des Litanies des saints, elles font partie des prières traditionnellement dédiées à sainte Rita de Cascia.
Litanies des mourants. Forme très abrégée des litanies de saints ces litanies accompagnent le sacrement des malades, pour ceux qui sont proches de la mort. Elles demandent avec instance l'intercession des saints pour ceux qui sont sur le point de mourir.

Litanies du très saint Nom de Jésus. Probablement composées par saint Bernardin de Sienne et Jean de Capistran au  elles sont approuvées en 1585 par Sixte V. Une forme revue des litanies est approuvée pour usage public par Léon XIII en 1866.
Litanies du Précieux Sang de Jésus. Les 24 invocations du « Précieux Sang de Jésus » (une autre manière d'honorer Jésus-Christ) - dévotion popularisée par saint Gaspard del Bufalo au  - sont approuvées par Jean XXIII en 1960.
Litanies du Sacré-Cœur de Jésus. Composées par Anne-Madeleine Rémusat en 1718 sur un texte antérieur du père Croiset, les 33 invocations adressées au Cœur de Jésus sont approuvées par Léon XIII en 1899.

Dans les arts
Les litanies de Lorette ont inspiré les artistes verriers comme les sculpteurs.
Il n'est pas rare, (comme dans l'illustration de haut de page) de voir dans une église ou l'autre un vitrail illustrant les divers vocables sous lesquels la Vierge Marie est priée dans les litanies de Lorette. Ainsi à Pontoise (église Notre-Dame), Survilliers (Église Saint-Martin), Auvers-sur-Oise (église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption), Orbais-l'Abbaye, Clermont (Église Saint-Samson), etc
Dans le portail principal de la Cathédrale de Milan ont été sculptés les différents titres symboliques de la Vierge Marie.

Dans l'art musical :
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) Litaniae de Beata Virgine Maria
Felice Anerio (1560-1614), Litaniae Beatissimae Virginis Mariae
Henry Du Mont (1610 - 1684), Litanies de la Vierge à 5 voix avec la basse continue. 1657
Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643 - 1704), 9 Litanies de la Vierge, dont les Litanies à 6 voix H.83 pour solistes, chœur, dessus de violes, et basse continue (1684)
Johann Adolf Hasse (1699-1783) a composé une série de Litaniae Lauretanae (Kyrie Eleison, Salus Infirmorum, Regina Angelorum, Agnus dei I&II)
František Tůma (1704 - 1774), compositeur tchèque du , a composé 20 litanies, dont la Lytaniae Lauretanae.
Antonín Brossmann (1731-1798) Litaniae Lauretanae
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Litaniae Lauretanae (Litanies de Lorette)

Work, school and other activities that we have, we often cannot spend time with family. It was hard to make an appointment to meet with family because of our busy lives. What about holidays? Does not have to always make an appointment to dine out or go out to picnic, how about the family room idea? We can decorate it in such a likely to get comfortable room and we could use to spend time with family? The possibility of your children will enjoy being at home and when you go home, you can immediately meet them in your family room.
This family room idea is open two frequently used rooms, kitchen and family room into one. You can combine both of this room by using the same color, and then divide it into two zones by using the furniture. This method is effective because when the parents doing activity in the kitchen and the children can enjoy their activities; doing their homework or watching television in the family room. Your family has time to spend together, right?
It means that if you have modern, traditional, or rustic as your home style, and you want to put something different as your family room ideas, just combine them with the furniture. This is a safe way but a little bit tricky. So, you should really choose the right option to get satisfactory results. It is placing a long vintage sofa style combined with traditional style furniture. It creates modern mood.
If you are using wooden floor and opted to buy some sofas that have various types and feet with different colors, do not forget to buy a rug as a unifier. Another option to fusion your family room is with color and pattern.
Well, if you have abandoned basement or attic, let's use it. Transform it into your family room. Make it the more usable, instead of leaving them with items that unused and dusty.
Did not have enough space to make family room your home, do not worry. Just looking the corner or abandoned space, like under the stairs? Even it is small, it can be intimate and become beautiful. Make it more efficient. If you are not sure, you may ask the designer, they will give you some family room idea in small space.

However, I'd like to re-use this figure and combine it with other figures.
Therefore, I tried to change \documentclass{minimal} to \documentclass{standalone}.
Result:

How can I fix this and crop the cuboid to the correct size?

A: transform canvas as you use, push slanted matrix out of picture bounding box. as possible solution is define (without transform canvas) an auxiliary empty node ad top right corner of cube:

Lumber drying is a multi-faceted process, and it often involves kiln drying. Those within the industry know that key to effectively drying lumber is doing it s-l-o-w-l-y. Both the heat-up and the cool-down times need to be long, no matter what the species is. Depending on the species, though, the maximum temperature and precise rate will vary. Many kilns have schedules which lumber professionals follow, as a result of their own experience throughout the years.
While there is variation among kilns and species, thicker lumber poses a unique challenge because complete drying often causes significant damage to the wood. The solution? Radio frequency (or RF) vacuum kiln technology is changing how heavy timbers are dried.
In order to reduce the opportunity for either scenario, the outer 2 inches of timbers can be dried, leaving the core at a moisture level between 15 and 20%. The outer dry fibers will typically be enough to maintain the timber's stability, but when the lumber is planed, the outer dry shell is much thinner, decreasing the stability or possibly even exposing the wet fibers. An additional potential problem occurs each time the timber is cross cut, exposing that moist core and possibly causing checking.
Because of this lose-lose scenario, a newly patented RF vacuum kiln revolutionizes the process of drying large timbers by eliminating the potential of damaging wood fibers while producing thoroughly dry timbers. The result is wood that actually acts like an air-dried product: It's easier to work and demonstrates no cell wall damage.
The two-step process starts with the lumber being loaded into the kiln and the pressure being dropped. The boiling point of water is lowered, as a result, and locked in the lumber to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The vacuum of air allows the water to be drawn out of the wood the same way it circulated within the live tree — via the end grain — further preventing damage to the cell wall. The next step is heating with radio frequency waves. In their purest form, radio waves are simply vibration of air. The heat caused by vibration causes the molecules to bounce off one another, resulting in volumetric heating. The uniformly rising temperature allows the moisture to boil off all at once, without the potential checking caused by uneven stresses of outer wood fibers shrinking.
These RF Dried Timbers are products called Tru-Dry timbers. The only species currently coming out of this mill are those in highest demand for large timber construction: Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and White Oak. Maybe someday all lumber will be dried this way. If you are interested in purchasing Tru-Dry timbers, please contact us.

Some have been homeless for years. Others have just run out of luck and have nowhere else to sleep. One man has been in a motel but the prices have gone up during the Commonwealth Games.
They're all at the Safe Haven, a temporary shelter run by Red Cross on the Gold Coast during the Commonwealth Games.
Offering a bed for 20 people experiencing homelessness each night, along with free hot showers, meals and information, the Safe Haven has provided an overnight bed on more than 270 occasions over 16 days.
Red Cross was engaged by the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works to operate the Safe Haven due to our expertise in managing evacuation centres, as well as our work with people who are homeless in several locations across Queensland.
"The best thing is having a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, getting fed food, having a shower, feeling safe and meeting nice people," enthuses Tamara.
The 27-year-old mother of four explains that she'd previously had an unoccupied store room which she'd set up as a makeshift home. It was perfect for her, with a bed, light, power, and lockable door. But someone changed the lock, and now she's unable to retrieve her gear and is searching for a new place to sleep.
Others share a similar story.
Some have found unoccupied motel rooms, still with beds in them, which are closed pending demolition. Another person found a room behind a vacant office block. But that was knocked down to make way for a high rise.
And there's always the beach. Some prefer the beach as you can get away from people who are annoying. Others say they find it too cold, or there are too many mosquitos.
But they all agree the Safe Haven has been provided much-needed relief for the two weeks it was open.
Jason says he was renting a shed, but the leaseholders got evicted for not paying rent, forcing him to the streets.
Another young man says if he didn't have the bed at the Safe Haven he'd have been become sick.
"I got crook last week sleeping on the street," he says.
He says he's enjoyed having somewhere comfortable to lay his head, as well as the chance to make new friends.
Another guest at the shelter, a woman who normally sleeps on the beach or in a park, says she's appreciated the friendly smiling faces and the help people have offered her.
In Queensland, Red Cross connects people facing homelessness with services that can provide respite and accommodation.


The Athletics department has put together an extensive list outlining the College Recruiting process. If you're interested in playing a college sport, this is an excellent place to begin.
Athletes should have realistic expectations of their level of play. Be honest with yourself and consider your ability and profile for the position you play. For example, there were zero NCAA Basketball players under 5'5″ in 2017. When it comes to college athletic recruiting, dreams and reality may differ.
Take a moment to review the Athlete Profiles by Position that collegiate coaches use for consideration of an athlete. These were created by research and discussions with collegiate coaches.
College coaches expect athletes to meet the NCAA academic requirements. Be sure to review your grade-based and test-based academic requirements.
In order to avoid recruiting violations, it's important that coaches only contact athletes during specified times, see the NCAA DI and DII Recruiting Calendars.
Students can accept their National Letter of Intent (NLI) on a signing day. National Letter of Intents are provided alongside most formal scholarship offers and exist to provide schools with a binding agreement that a student has accepted the school's athletic scholarship offer. NLI Signing Days vary by sport. On the contrary, verbal commitments are non-binding.
Athletes often wonder their odds of competing at the college level. The answer varies by sport, take a moment to review the Estimated Probability of Competing in College Athletics by Sport.
Although talent is the number one determinate for recruitment, coaches are also interested in other attributes that make up the athlete. You'd be wise to review the list of Attributes College Coaches Look for in Student Athletes.
Some Athletes may not receive a scholarship, yet still choose to Walk-on. What does it mean to be a Preferred Walk-on vs. Walk-on?
Highlight Reel – If you intend on playing in college. You should consider creating a one to three minute Hudl highlight reel. College coaches receive thousands of emails each week, so focus on the first four plays being exceptionally dynamic. College coaches are more receptive to reading emails from coaches they're familiar with. Be sure to check with your coach about emailing your highlight reel.
College visits can be a great way to gain a school's attention. Learn from Ken Lancaster as he Breaks Down the College Visit for Athletes.
Looking for more information about College Recruiting? Contact Curt Cramer, College Recruiting and Placement Advisor with The First Academy Athletics Department.

Hodgson: Marquez's MotoGP reign under threat in 2019
MotoGP has been dominated by Marc Marquez since his debut in 2013, but Neil Hodgson thinks his time at the top may be over.

Marc Marquez's MotoGP dominance will come to an end in 2019, according to former rider and television commentator Neil Hodgson.
Marquez has been a revelation since stepping up to the top level of motorcycle racing in 2013, winning 44 grands prix on his way to five championships.
He made it three in a row last season as he cruised to the title by 76 points from Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso, the Repsol Honda rider winning nine of the 18 races.
However, the Spaniard suffered a number of shoulder dislocations across the campaign and underwent surgery in December, limiting his running during pre-season testing.
And Hodgson believes the 26-year-old's recovery and an underperforming bike means he will struggle to retain his crown in 2019.
"It's going to be closer than it was last year, which is hard to believe because last year – actually the last three years have been the best we've ever seen," Hodgson told Omnisport. "This year, again, is going to be better.

"At the moment I'm looking at potentially 10 riders that can be on the podium every week, and out of those 10 – being realistic – I'd say there is probably seven you could say: 'They've got a win in them.'
"And I think the good news going into the start of the season is that the Honda is not the strongest bike and Marc Marquez isn't 100 per cent fit.
"The last six years I've said, when asked, Marquez [will win the title] but this is the first year I'm going to say I'm not putting him as favourite going into the season, which is exciting.
"I'm going with Dovi [Dovizioso], he's the strongest rider and package going into the start of the season."
Hodgson added: "The problem with a shoulder injury is that it is not like when you break a bone. When you break a bone they put a pin in it and within two weeks – there's [still] pain but you can bounce back and it's just as strong.

"When you've got an injury like the shoulder, it's a delicate part of the body, it's the most complex joint of your body, I know because I ended my career with a shoulder injury. It's horrendous, and if you rush the rehab, the tendons he's had reattached, you can pull them off and have a right mess on your hands."
Marquez's team-mate at Repsol Honda this season will be long-time rival Jorge Lorenzo following his departure from Ducati, but Hodgson believes the latter may come to regret his decision.
"Yeah, definitely [he should be questioning the decision to leave Ducati] but that was done before Jorge really figured out the Ducati, so it made sense," he continued.
"But within a month it was apparent that it probably was a mistake to leave Ducati.
"It looks like Ducati is the best package overall, they've got speed, experience with the electronics.
"It's taken all this time but Ducati have built such a strong team and motorcycle, and because of that they are the number one manufacturer this season. I'd say second is joint with Yamaha and Honda."

Component B renders component A in its markup. There is some logic in component B that makes component A to re-render. This results to the reactive code block in component A to run again, causing it to mess up the time intervals placed.
How do I prevent this from happening?
I want the reactive code block in component A to run only if the variables that it depends on change or if it is the initial render (not when it is re-rendered).

Edit:
I'm trying to make a desktop app with four pages where one of them is for reminders. Each reminder has its own interval (in minutes). And on every interval, I want it to send a notification; with an option to set a time period for the reminders.
I have a store called currentTime that keeps track of the time.
In my Reminder component, every minute is checked to see if the time is valid or not (if chose to set a time period).
I also have a store called currentPage that keeps track of the current "page".
But when switching between pages, the reactive block runs again, which causes duplicate intervals.

Here is the REPL: https://svelte.dev/repl/80438ddb704c4052b57b469eccca4fdf?version=3.49.0
I'm sure there's a better way than what I'm doing but I'm not sure how.
