The Unfolding of the COVID Outbreak: The shifts in thinking and feeling
Think of a major event in your life such as living through a hurricane, getting married, needing an operation. In the days and weeks before the hurricane, saying your vows, or going to the hospital, the ways you thought and behaved probably changed. You likely sought out relevant information. You talked with others who had had similar experiences. You probably felt nervous and, at the same time, ran simulations through your mind about what you would do during and after the event occurred. And, once the event happened, you likely discovered that your life changed in ways you never anticipated.
Similar shifts likely occurred with you when COVID-19 appeared on the horizon. By understanding how individuals approach significant life experiences, we can predict how entire communities and cultures do the same. The current project seeks to track how we all are thinking and talking about COVID as it unfolds over time. How has COVID shaped our emotions and thinking patterns, when did these effects begin and how are they currently evolving?
Let's take a quick trip down memory lane. Way back on January 21, the first publicized case of COVID was reported in the U.S. More stories started emerging in February. And then on February 25th, world stock markets started to crash because financial experts saw a pandemic coming. The first death in Seattle was reported four days later. On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID to be a global pandemic, and two days later, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency.
And then the world changed. Almost immediately, several cities and states announced lockdown orders, urging people to self-isolate. Universities, businesses, schools, and other organizations closed or began to operate virtually. Panic buying for toilet paper, red meat, and liquor were reported as everyone began sheltering in place.
Figure 1. Timeline of COVID in the United States
As we write this report at the end of April from our respective bunkers, many people are now looking out their windows with the expectations that they can venture out in the next few days or weeks or months.
What has happened to us over the last two months? Our research team has been tracking people through the analysis of over 750,000 Reddit comments made in eight city subreddits (or communities) posted between January 10, 2020, and April 10, 2020, including New York City, Seattle, Austin, Boston, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. We've also analyzed surveys of over 10,000 people from snowball and Prolific.co samples primarily in the U.S. and Canada. For more information on our methodology, click here.
COVID IS COMING! COVID IS COMING!
When individuals get wind of a major threat to their lives, they begin trying to learn more about it. They search for information in news outlets, they talk with their friends, and they go to online communities to learn what others know. When the news stories began appearing in January about a new and deadly strain of coronavirus, a growing number of people began asking questions about it online.
The graph below tracks how much people in our Reddit samples used words such as COVID and coronavirus. The first surge occurred when the stock market dropped (around February 25) due to economic changes in China. COVID references first shot up in the subreddits of New York City (home of Wall Street and the New York Times), and two days later in Seattle, where the first COVID death was announced on February 29.
Although references to COVID also surged in the other city subreddits, the biggest spike for all cities was around March 11th when the WHO acknowledged that we were all heading into a worldwide pandemic. Interestingly, ever since Americans moved into the isolation phase, the rates of discussions about COVID in the city subreddits have remained high and relatively constant.
Figure 2. People talked about COVID more when warning signals emerged at the end of February and also when self-isolation orders were first announced. The y-axis depicts the daily average percentage of words about COVID in Reddit comments.
When rumors of a potential threat surface, people begin asking what the implications might be for them. How serious will the threat be? When will the virus come to their city? They begin imagining how they would deal with an unknown disease in their country or community. They become focused on the future.
Once the threat arrives, people shift from future focus to present focus, as you can see in Figure 3. As it became clearer that the COVID virus was going to affect their region, people began to live in the here-and-now. Which stores are open? Where can they get toilet paper and medicine?
Figure 3. Future-focused language increased first when the warning signals for COVID emerged. Present-focused language shortly followed as the COVID crisis increasingly became part of everyday life. Time-relevant language includes verbs or references to the future (e.g., will, tomorrow) or the present (e.g., present tense verbs such as is or am or words such as now). The y-axis depicts standardized values.
A major upheaval that people have not experienced can force people to try to make sense of the event. Typically, when people are trying to make sense of unexpected events, they often use words like realize, understand, meaning, and because. Using our text analysis program LIWC2015, we are able to count these cognitive processing words to get a sense of how people are actively working through issues associated with COVID.
As shown in Figure 4, people increasingly engaged in cognitive processing starting when the warning signals began. The first peak in cognitive processing coincides with the day when US stocks first dropped. Cognitive processing also increased in the days after people began to self-isolate.
Figure 4. Cognitive processing to make sense of the situation increased when warning signals emerged and also when self-isolation began.
Anxiety, Anger, and Sadness
Immediately after natural and manmade disasters, people feel more negative and less positive. Increased anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms are also common. We tracked people's expressions of anxiety, anger, and sadness from before to the outbreak until mid-April.
As would be expected, the expression of anxiety-related words shot up immediately after the COVID warning signals began. A second spike followed self-isolation orders. Since mid-March, anxiety has been decreasing steadily, but anxiety levels even in the first week of April were much higher than prior to the warning stage.
Figure 5. Anxiety levels shot up at the beginning of both the warning and self-isolation periods
In separate surveys that were completed by several thousand people between March 19 and April 10, we asked people what they were most anxious about. As you can see in Figure 6, people were most nervous about family members becoming infected followed closely by the fear that they themselves might unknowingly infect others. In fact, anxiety levels about COVID were much higher than people's concerns about the potential economic losses that COVID could possibly bring.
Figure 6. Ratings in response to a series of questions asking, "To what degree are you worried about…". People responded along a scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a great deal).
A common misconception is that natural and manmade disasters immediately make people hostile and angry, causing them to lash out at others. News media frequently interview police departments or family abuse shelters expecting large increases in violent crimes and abuse. Rarely do these numbers go up in the first weeks. In fact, reports indicate a drop in crime rates in the US and around the world.
Our findings are consistent with national trends. People's use of anger-related words in the community subreddits dropped at the beginning of the warning stage and then again when people began to self-isolate (see Figure 7). Reports of strife and tension following previous disasters suggest that this pattern of lowered anger may not last long. Increases in gun sales suggest that people are anticipating increased conflict in the coming months. But then, gun sales with the election of Obama in 2008 surged as well but subsequent national violence statistics did not increase.
Figure 7. Anger levels dropped when the COVID outbreak began and still remain lower than baseline.
The anger patterns are a surprise for many people. In the social psychology literature, many researchers point to the powerful effects of attribution. If people are anxious and they don't know why, they are likely to lash out at others. They know they feel bad and so they look around and pin their bad feelings on reasonable targets around them. A natural disaster or COVID is different. People feel anxious but they all know precisely why they are feeling bad. Their spouse might annoy them but there is simply too much evidence that their bad feelings are attributable to this scary virus.
However, in the weeks ahead, people will gradually stop thinking about COVID but are likely to remain anxious. The attribution literature would predict that they would start attributing their anxiety to others around them. In other words, once COVID starts slipping from the front of our minds, we will start getting angrier and lashing out at others at higher rates.
Anxiety jumping up is not surprising; anger dropping generally surprises people. How about sadness? If you look at Figure 8, the sadness results make perfect sense. We are living in a sad time: Joblessness is the highest in our lifetimes; the economy is miserable; some of our friends or relatives have gotten sick and some may have died from COVID. The pattern suggests that prolonged isolation might be gradually impacting people's mental health and wellbeing.
Figure 8. Expressions of sadness have been gradually increasing since the self-isolation period began.
Where we are and where we're going
We are now at the end of April 2020. We are at the end of the beginning. Most U.S. states and many countries in the northern hemisphere are just beginning to experiment with loosening their daily movement restrictions. We are all having conversations about the relative safety or danger of venturing out.
There is not a clear social-psychological roadmap. The few studies that have looked at other natural and man-made disasters hint that the next phase will be bumpy. We should expect elevations in hostility and back-biting. People will continue to feel anxious. There may well be significant diversions in the ways young and older people respond. People under the age of 30 will likely look at the statistics and think that they are relatively safe. Those who are older will continue to harbor healthy fears of contracting the disease and will be much more reticent to venture into public places.
One significant unknown is how COVID will continue to affect the economy. To the degree that consumption patterns remain stalled and job prospects are slow to return, the aftereffects of COVID may last months or years, perhaps long after the threat of the virus disappears.
Notes for researchers: In all temporal graphs in this post, the y-axis represents 3-day moving averages.

Exemplary research work by Aswini and James team…loudly speaks about the famous saying change is the only constant in life…accept my sincere appreciations
DVP says:
Well written. Congrats!! However, i have serious questions about taking the social media reactions – like search terms, volume of traffic etc. – as a serious measure of social patterns. At best, these pertain to a section of the society who frequent social media, online news etc. Second, the AI ridden platforms like Google now, accentuate the patterns and do not provide a wider variety of options to the users. Please consider these aspects also.
Thanks for your comments. You are right in that we don't know exactly who our people are or the degree to which they truly represent other people in their own or other cities. The same is also true of surveys we all do. I think the smart consumer of data must look at these data and compare them with data that other labs are getting using very different methodologies. To me, the most interesting aspect is that we are looking at very sizable changes among tens of thousands of people. We will all have a much better understanding of the social dynamics of pandemics in the years ahead.
G. Subramanian says:
It is a well researched and documented study. Strangely, the feelings of the US Citizens are similar to those of other Countries and the moods and phases of shift appear universal. The fear that the end of the crisis is not yet clear or near, makes people more humane, caring and concerned about common well being. You may publish it in other Countries too. Hearty felicitations for a wonderful effort…
Thank you so much for your note and for your kind words. I too think that most of the shifts in emotional and thought patterns would be similar in other countries.
Sushmitha vatsal says:
As a persian king said long back, this shall also pass away. Hope this danger also go away soon so that man kind wil be releaved. Was it not bit delayed caution given by WHO. However this is a great work done by Ashwini. Keep it up

SIMONE PASSARELLO
Arianna Casoli to continue in EuroNASCAR with Caal Racing
Italian experienced driver Arianna Casoli extended her contract with CAAL Racing and will enter her fifth season in the European NASCAR second division.
Italian driver Arianna Casoli extended her contract with compatriot team CAAL Racing and will enter her fifth NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season. The experienced racer from Reggio Emilia, Italy, will compete to defend her EuroNASCAR 2 Lady Trophy.
In 2019, Casoli finished 15th in the points standings of the EuroNASCAR 2 division, claiming an 11th place as best finish in the Zolder round. With 47 series starts, Arianna is one of the most experienced drivers in the championship and a fan favourite in her bright yellow #54 car.
"I am really happy to be part of the CAAL family for the fifth consecutive season and to continue driving the #54. It is a car I grew very fond of along the years," - she said.
"I can't wait for the season to start and I want to not only defend the Lady Trophy but also try to do better than last year's third place against the Legend drivers. The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series is great because it gives you opportunities to compete at all levels in a strong and numerous field."
EuroNASCAR 2 will thus feature a very interesting battle for the Female Trophy, with American Julia Landauer making her European debut with Belgian team PK Carsports.
Casoli is also set to make her racing return to Vallelunga, as the home of the EuroNASCAR Italian round was moved from Franciacorta to the venue nearby Rome.
"I am excited to race at Vallelunga. It is a special track for me and I took part in my very first touring car race there. Then when I came back to racing in 2015 I started from the pole, again in touring cars, due to the inverted grid in my first wet race in 12 year," - she added.
"I can't wait to get back in the car and get the season started."
The 2020 European NASCAR's calendar is set to travel to seven racetracks, for a total of 13 races. The Dutch round of Venray, the only oval on the racing schedule, will host a single race, while the last three rounds (Playoffs) will feature double points.
The season starts in Valencia, Spain, on 25/26 April at the Ricardo Tormo circuit.
Full EuroNASCAR - 2020 Calendar:
25/26 April - Valencia, Spain
6/7 June - Brands Hatch, UK

Wordsworth Editions, 1994 - Drama - 170 pages
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.
The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
King Lear has been widely acclaimed as Shakespeare's most powerful tragedy. Elemental and passionate, it encompasses the horrific and the heart-rending. Love and hate, loyalty and treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice: all these contend in a tempestuous drama which has become an enduring classic of the world's literature. In the theatre and on screen King Lear continues to challenge and enthral.
This Wordsworth edition of King Lear provides a comprehensive, integrated text of the play.

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616 Although there are many myths and mysteries surrounding William Shakespeare, a great deal is actually known about his life. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, son of John Shakespeare, a prosperous merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, who had the wealth to send their oldest son to Stratford Grammar School. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, the 27-year-old daughter of a local farmer, and they had their first daughter six months later. He probably developed an interest in theatre by watching plays performed by traveling players in Stratford while still in his youth. Some time before 1592, he left his family to take up residence in London, where he began acting and writing plays and poetry. By 1594 Shakespeare had become a member and part owner of an acting company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men, where he soon became the company's principal playwright. His plays enjoyed great popularity and high critical acclaim in the newly built Globe Theatre. It was through his popularity that the troupe gained the attention of the new king, James I, who appointed them the King's Players in 1603. Before retiring to Stratford in 1613, after the Globe burned down, he wrote more than three dozen plays (that we are sure of) and more than 150 sonnets. He was celebrated by Ben Jonson, one of the leading playwrights of the day, as a writer who would be "not for an age, but for all time," a prediction that has proved to be true. Today, Shakespeare towers over all other English writers and has few rivals in any language. His genius and creativity continue to astound scholars, and his plays continue to delight audiences. Many have served as the basis for operas, ballets, musical compositions, and films. While Jonson and other writers labored over their plays, Shakespeare seems to have had the ability to turn out work of exceptionally high caliber at an amazing speed. At the height of his career, he wrote an average of two plays a year as well as dozens of poems, songs, and possibly even verses for tombstones and heraldic shields, all while he continued to act in the plays performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This staggering output is even more impressive when one considers its variety. Except for the English history plays, he never wrote the same kind of play twice. He seems to have had a good deal of fun in trying his hand at every kind of play. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, all published on 1609, most of which were dedicated to his patron Henry Wriothsley, The Earl of Southhampton. He also wrote 13 comedies, 13 histories, 6 tragedies, and 4 tragecomedies. He died at Stratford-upon-Avon April 23, 1616, and was buried two days later on the grounds of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. His cause of death was unknown, but it is surmised that he knew he was dying.

It's so freakishly hot! The temperature yesterday peaked at 35.8 degree Centigrade! That was hot! Even if I wanted to closet myself in an air-conditioned room all day, I can't afford it -literally and figuratively. Utility bills continue to rise and a lot of my friends have expresses shock with their latest electricity bill. It must be great working for a gas, water and electric company. They could just hike up their operating cost and consumers have no say but to embrace the hiked-up price. Anyway, the other reason why it was not possible for me to stay indoors yesterday was because we had to attend a going-away luncheon for my cousin and his wife. They're retired and they are off to migrate to the US. Not that they need to but more on "they want to". God bless them.
The luncheon was held in my other cousin's house. This was the house where I spent many hot summers soaking in the swimming pool. Some years ago, the pool was filled-in for the pool's flooring was cracked due to soil movement. It was better and more practical to fill-in the pool than have it repaired. The pool area is now a green area made more ideal by the patio furniture and wicker swing placed on it. The very shaded area offered a relief from the hot summer sun.
Hope you get a cooler temperature soon. God bless!
@ jane: thanks! i do hope so. God's blessings on you.


I skateboarded down to the park to find a place to journal. In about 5 seconds of tiny wheels rolling on rocky asphalt, I almost decided to go back home. The only place I'd ever boarded is on the smooth concrete of San Jose State University. This was the complete opposite.
I forced myself to ride through my own reluctance, because something within me kept saying that 8 minutes of bumps would be worth the ride.
Once I arrived at the park, I slowed down and looked for a place to sit and write.
I found myself drawn to the place I usually avoid—the baseball field park bench. As I sat on its cold, aluminum surface, I took in the sun's heat and the flood of unwanted memories.
It's been three years since I've had the strength or courage to revisit the bench.
Three years ago, I sat on the bench with the person I fell in love with, who'd eventually leave me. We had been together for less than two months, and in a few days we were to separate for college. Him to LA and I to Spokane. As we sat, I tried to hold on to him because, even then, I was always afraid that "we" would end.
But in the end, I deliberately chose to sit there. I sat exactly where we did back then, accepted that this time I was alone, and wrote. Writing required me to reflect, to remember and I was forced to verbalize the thoughts that plagued me.
With my pen, I scribbled, "There are three places that for some reason, I'm oddly rooted to. This park bench, an ATM, and a rose garden." Chewing on the cap of the pen, I realized that these three every-day objects in every-day areas had a hold on my attention. I struggled to keep up with the memories and insights that were suddenly clear as I captured my thoughts in the hardbound journal..
On the park bench, we shared a kiss while someone awkwardly passed by. After we noticed their disgusted glare, we eventually laughed off our embarrassment. He looked me in the eyes then and said, "Oh well," and simply held me. He didn't care about the world around us. He cared about me.
At the ATM, I stood with him while he withdrew money. He followed through with the chivalrous expectation to pay for me, even though at the time he wasn't financially stable. I didn't stop him, but it was the first time I saw myself as more of a burden than a blessing in his life.
At the rose garden, we had celebrated our first month as a couple. When we were leaving, we crossed paths with a little old Hispanic lady who, at my goodbye to her, laughed and said, "There are no such things as goodbye! Only 'see you later!'" For the first time in my life, I felt comfort at a departure.
I looked around again. Children were scattered throughout the park running, biking, and squealing with delight at whatever tickled their attention. In the distance, a Hispanic family danced salsa with one another to the faint tune escaping their tiny radio. I moved the skateboard back and forth under my feet and recognized that the sun was lowering and it was becoming colder.
But I continued to write. Returning to, sitting, and writing on this park bench forced me to remember for the first time what had actually happened. Once that memory was viewed in full, I watched it all play out through a wiser pair of eyes.
As I sat recalling these vivid memories, I imagined that my current self, with knowing eyes, sat next to my past self.
We both sigh deeply, aware that truth is never an easy burden to bear.
Sarah Michelle Cruz is an incoming senior at Whitworth University. She is a psychology and English Writing major, with a Chinese minor. She spends her free time mostly making music, writing, watching Filipino soap operas, or eating cheap but delicious international cuisines with friends. She is in the editing process of her first novel, and is currently writing a second book called, "At the End of the World." She hopes to inspire others and help people reclaim their own stories through arts and writing.
Run for 45 seconds, walk for 30. Repeat. For six miles. Go.
It was Saturday morning along the misty Allegheny river, and we were running, then walking, and running again. Blessedly, I was not in charge of the stopwatch. I was checking out a run-walk club, and our leader timed all the transitions.
"Run for 45!" We paused until the next break.
At this point I almost stopped walking, nearly tripping the run-walker behind me.
And she said my grandma's name. My grandma, who had taken care of my great-aunt and great-uncle in her house in Verona. Then the daughter of her long-time neighbors bought her house because it seemed like the right thing to do. I had heard this story before.
"That's my grandmother's house!" I exclaimed, and now she almost stopped (we were really annoying the people behind us). "You're the granddaughter who lives in Pittsburgh?" she asked, astonished, as if I had just run-walked off the pages of a novel she was reading. "Yeah, that's me," I replied.
"Run for 45!" the command came again, and the timing was perfect.
We both needed 45 seconds to process these revelations.
It was an hour in the car from my hometown to grandma's driveway, and as a child the ride seemed endless. So I counted landmarks: the Harmerville Exit off 28. The Eat n' Park by the movie theater. The purple bridge. The Dairy Queen. The street with all the flags, and then the turn up the hill, past the Italian restaurant. A turn off the main road and then the winding suburbs of yellow and red brick houses, nearly identical except for a striped awning here, a rhododendron bush there.
"We're almost there," I would inform my brothers. "Doh!" one of them would inevitably respond. "Stop hitting your brother!" came the call from the front seat. But none of this mattered. We had finally arrived.
The driveway crunched under the car tires as we pulled around back. We always, always entered grandma's house through the back door. The front door was for guests. The back door was for family.
As we piled out of the car, there were longing looks at the neighbor's pool, and then we plunged into the cool, musty dimness of the garage and basement. Sasha and Peeko greeted us with a swish of cat tails against our legs. We paused by the piano that lived in the basement and banged on the keys, one of my parents scolding us to stop-that-horrible-racket.
We stopped. The stairs drew us forward, then up, as we announced our arrival with voices and loud clomping. The door at the top of the basement steps was closed, but soon it would swing open.
And Grandma and Grandma's house were right behind that door.
After much friendly reminiscing, my run-walker friend and I exchanged e-mails. "Come and visit," she said, "you're always welcome." I promised to be in touch and went to my car, calling my mom while I was still in the parking lot. "You'll never guess who I met!" And my mom was, of course, thrilled. "Are you going to go and visit?" she asked, and I started to respond that of course I was, and did she want to join me, but then… I paused for a long time.
Suddenly, it was a lot to process. Suddenly, I felt protective of my childhood memories. Grandma's house was grandma's house after all, and I wasn't sure that I wanted a dose of grown-up reality, of inevitable change, to cloud the pictures in my mind.
So much has already changed.
"I'll have to think about it," I told my mom on the phone, and several months later, I'm still thinking about it. Not because I'm afraid of what I'll find there–I'm certain that the house has been well-maintained and cherished in its new life with a new family.
It's just that I know what will be missing.
Like the old fridge with the curved corners, with chilled dishes of red jello on the bottom shelf. Or the egg-crate mattresses folded in the closet, waiting for me and my cousins and brothers to line them up for a sleepover. The familiar afghans on the orange-yellow sofa. Grandma's neat piles of papers. Sasha and Peeko. The golf-tee triangular peg game thingee!
How can grandma's house exist without a golf-tee triangular peg game thingee?
But mostly I know that grandma won't be there, behind the door. She lives in Michigan now, in a lovely senior high-rise with multiple pianos, none (I assume) in the basement. I can visit her there, and we can jump golf tees together. But her house?
I'm still not sure I want to visit. My run-walker friend would probably welcome me–graciously–through the front door.
These pictures are thanks to my cousin, Mike (next to me on the couch) and I include them with much love to my all my cousins, including Mike, Melissa (shortest blonde in line-up), and Chrissy (blonde in white dress). The blonde on the far left is a neighbor named Jennifer, we think, which is likely since she was female in the 1980s. I am, as always, the tall brunette. Much love also to my un-pictured brothers whom I appreciate so much more now that we never, ever, ride in the back of a car together.
I have the full lips of a good Cuban woman, wide hips that twitch at the sound of a Latin beat. I am red hot passionate, with an eyes-flashing, arms-waving temper. The sea is the only place I feel blood-rushing peace.
Yes, Cuba is inside me, whether I like it or not.
We flew through the skies one late July night. Surrounded by lightning and carried by turbulence, our entire California family landed in Miami well past bedtime. It was a journey of cultural homecoming for some in our group, and a first exposure for the rest of us. There in our two-star motel with its questionable swimming pool and a not-great view of the beach, I first understood just how wide are the borders of Cuban familia. We welcomed a parade of relatives, long ago friends, and friends of friends–categories that might as well cease to exist at the table a Cuban abuelita. Familia is familia. Everyone's in.
Two weeks of all-day swimsuits and every morning breakfasts at IHOP are a blur in my memory now. I was only nine-years-old and not sure what to make of this place so different than my white-bred, dry-heat California hometown.
One half of a morning stands out in importance and recollection, however. After travelling to Key West, we found ourselves staring into the leaves of the southernmost tree. When a black cat darted from behind a bush, my cousin joked, "There goes the southernmost cat." Just ahead of us stood a chain-linked fence, with the wide waters of the Atlantic splashing on the rocks below.
This is what we came to see, and so we stood silent for a moment. My dad slung his arm around his sister's shoulders and she smiled through her tears. Thirty-ish years back and ninety miles south–that's how far away their minds traveled in those few minutes. As children and with no notice, they left their island home with their parents, abandoning memories, dear friends, all the treasures of their childhood.
While the grown-ups reminisced in choked-up Espanol, my cousins and I, along with my little brother and sister, ran wild in a game of tag, hopping on and off large rocks that topped the cliff we were gathered on. Laughing and running, we blinked our eyes at the Florida sun with our feet pounding the ground of freedom that has always spread beneath us.
When I was sure no one was looking, I strained my eyes out over the forever expanse of water, searching for a piece of driftwood or the black ridges of a tire, signs of a refugee almost to shore. These were the stories I'd grown up with, stories of desperation and hope. Sometimes they made it. Sometimes they were picked up by the Coast Guard. Sometimes they sank.
Standing at the edge of our country, I felt like I was at the edge of something else, but as I was only a little girl, I couldn't put my finger on what it was exactly. I was overwhelmed. The gratitude I was supposed to feel, the imaginings of a childhood built with the brick and mortar of communism, language barriers so steep I feared I'd never break them apart, the constant volume and prattle of all these people who shared my blood, or at least a piece of my history, it was just too much.
Frankly, these Cubans of mine were too much.
We shared a gene pool, but we didn't fit together easily. So when my dad walked out the door a few years after our Florida trip, filing for divorce and affirming all the discord I'd sensed, I erased them, mi familia, and Cuba itself from my very identity. 90 miles was too far to go.
But roots pull and roots dig.
All grown up now, I see it all with gentler eyes. As a wife and mother, I look at my babies and my husband and I see the dark eyes of my Abuelita. I wonder at the cost of her sacrifices, I wonder what it does to a woman to leave the way she did, to gather her children and pray that a far away land will be the answer she's hoping for. I think of my dad's childhood memories, and then I dream of sugar cane fields and a baseball soaring high above them, the exultant cries of a passel of Cuban boys.
I wince when I think of guns, suitcases, desperation and my dad as a skinny boy with enormous ears standing with his big sister decked in a white dress, helpless. I lose my breath when I think of my freedom-loving Papi in a cell all those times, his dream of a free Cuba still breathing, but losing color.
My heart edges close to what it all means, and sometimes that's as far as it can go. But every now and then I stand in that place long enough to see the big picture–the mistakes, the desperate shots in the dark, the guts and the fear, the stubborn hope.
I know now that the edge I felt all those years ago was the edge of loss and anger, language barriers and picking sides. It was the sharp shatter of family, connection. It was me, trying to keep hearts safe and the coming realization that I can't.
As I turn my gentler eyes on this this cast of characters in a complicated and sometimes devastating tale of a fully Cuban, fully American family, it is so clear that we all have scars of place and relationship. These Cubans of mine, and me. And if they are mine, and they indisputably are, then I am theirs and their Cuba lives inside me too. 90 miles is closer than I ever could have imagined.
I'm here and I love you.

Taylor and Karley's Love Story
Taylor and Karley met through Anthony Busceme - Karley's uncle and long time friend of Taylor and the Zummo family. On a quest to set his niece up with a great guy, Anthony continuously spoke of her to Taylor and knew they would make a great match. In 2016, Taylor was living in Dallas and working for his family's business, Zummo Meat Company, while Karley was finishing up her junior year of college at LSU studying to be an English teacher. Taylor reached out to Karley and their first date was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in May of 2016. He took Karley out to a great restaurant called Gino's and two things stole her heart that night - the Italian food and Taylor Zummo.
Since then, Karley has graduated from LSU and has been working as a 6th grade literacy teacher in Westlake, Louisiana, and Taylor has moved back to Beaumont, Texas, has bought a beautiful home, and is still selling that sausage and boudin for Zummo's! They have spent their years of dating by traveling, practicing new recipes, watching western movies, going to LSU games, playing with Taylor's dog - Ranger, celebrating their favorite holiday - Mardi Gras, and supporting each other through prayer and lots of love.
On July 5, 2019, Taylor surprised Karley with a weekend getaway to Baton Rouge. Little did Karley know, this was not just another trip to one of their favorite cities. Taylor proposed to Karley at the Watermark Hotel, surprised her with an engagement photo shoot downtown, and took her to a fabulous celebratory dinner at Juban's!
Baton Rouge holds a very special place in Taylor and Karley's hearts and they are thrilled to finally celebrate their marriage with family and friends.

Thief who robbed four banks is FREED on New York's no-bail policy - then knocks over another bank 24 hours after shouting 'I can't believe they let me out'
Gerold Woodberry, 42, is alleged to have robbed banks in New York's Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, West Village and the Upper West Side, since December 30
He was accused of passing notes to tellers and got away with $1,000 twice before cops on patrol nabbed him on Thursday
But he was released under the city's new 'no bail law,' which doesn't require bail to hold a suspect accused of non-violent felonies, including robbery
'I can't believe they let me out,' sources said he boasted as he left the New York Police Department's headquarters. 'What were they thinking?'
Woodberry was then alleged to have robbed a fifth bank on Friday in Downtown Brooklyn, and the police have asked the public's help in finding him
By Ralph R. Ortega For Dailymail.com
A serial bank robber targeted four New York banks, was released under the city's new law which requires no bail for holding suspects, only to strike a fifth financial institution, police claim.
The suspect, Gerold Woodberry, 42, is alleged to have robbed banks in New York's Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, West Village and the Upper West Side, since December 30, sources said.
However, under the new 'no bail' law, he was released on Thursday.
This man, says the New York Police Department, is wanted for bank robbery in the city. He is pictured on bank surveillance
The same suspect is pictured in another surveillance image taken while he allegedly committed a bank robbery
Another image of the suspect was released by the NYPD from surveillance footage taken while the man is alleged to be committing a bank robbery
'I can't believe they let me out,' sources said he was overheard saying on the way out of the New York Police Department's headquarters, reports the New York Post.
'What were they thinking?' he added, allegedly striking a fifth bank in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday, the sources told the Post.
Woodberry passed paper notes each time he struck one of the financial institutions, and stole $1,000, it is claimed.

Woodberry left the NYPD's headquarters at 1 Police Plaza and is alleged to have robbed a bank in Downtown Brooklyn, allegedly his fifth heist since December 30, sources said
Critics, however, argue that some suspects should be required to post bail before they are back on the street after they are detained.
Woodberry is alleged to have first struck a bank in Midtown and got away with $1,000, sources said.
He then was alleged to have hit up banks in Harlem on January 3.
Sources said he got away with $1,000 from a bank in the West Village on Monday, but walked away empty-handed after passing a note to a teller on the Upper West Side two days later.

The reason we don't include the font face, font-size, and text color/background color toolbar items in the editor is because it is contrary to the notion of having a skinnable site. If you use those toolbar items you are hard coding fonts, sizes and colors into your content making them un-skinnable. You may pick fonts and colors that look good with your current skin but a year from now when you decide to re-design the look of the site those fonts and colors you hard coded into the content using these toolbars may look ugly and now you have a big job to do to clean that up to make it look right with your new skin design. So, its a bad practice to use those toolbar items that hard code any kind of style into your content. It is much wiser to use only css classes and let the fonts and colors be decided in the css files. This way the entire look and feel of your site can be changed with one click by changing to a different skin. mojoPortal uses specific toolbar names in all the editors, so you can't change names of the toolbars or add arbitrary ones but you can customize what is on those toolbars. As an alternative to hard coding styles we've implemented a content style template system so that you can define some pre-set styles in CSS and make it easy for users to use those styles from the WYSIWYG editor.

The essential Terri Lyne Carrington
by Richard Williams on November 12, 2019
What does it mean when a critic describes an album as "essential"? After all, you can live a full and satisfying life without ever hearing A Love Supreme, Eli & the Thirteenth Confession or Blood on the Tracks, all of which would justify the conventional use of that epithet. But sometimes it's the word that's closest to what you want to suggest. And that's how it is with Waiting Game by Terri Lyne Carrington + Social Science, an album which looks deep into the soul of 21st century America and comes up with something that, like all the best protest music, locates sparks of hope amid the darkness and despair it portrays.
For those unfamiliar with Carrington, she is a 54-year-old drummer, composer and bandleader noted for her work with Cassandra Wilson, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and many others. She began playing drums at home in Massachusetts, aged seven, on a kit handed down from her grandfather, who had played with Fats Waller. At 11 she received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston; at 18 she was in New York and playing at the highest level.
Waiting Game is a suite that, blending songs of protest with cutting-edge African American music, takes its place in the line stretching from Max Roach's We Insist: Freedom Now Suite through Marvin Gaye's What's Going On to Ambrose Akinmusire's Origami Harvest. To the core six-piece Social Science band — Debo Ray (vocals), Kassa Overall (MC), Morgan Guerin (saxophones, bass, EWI), Matthew Stevens (guitar) and Aaron Parks (piano and keyboards) — Carrington adds guest appearances from singers, rappers and MCs including Mark Kibble, Rapsody, Meshell Ndegeocello, Raydar Ellis and Maimouna Youssef, plus the trumpeter Nicholas Payton, the bassists Esperanza Spalding and Derrick Hodge, and others.
The songs are contributed by all the members of the group. Although the words — dealing with oppression and the rights of women, gay people, Native Americans, political prisoners (in the widest definition of the term) and others — are often confrontational, the music is easy to love. The grooves are slinky, the textures have a warm glow, the voices often soothe and seduce. While Rapsody fires up "The Anthem" with righteous fervour, Debo Ray croons Joni Mitchell's "Love" (which applies gender reassignment to the famous verses from 1 Corinthians Ch. 13) with the sweetness of a Minnie Riperton. Stevens's lucid guitar improvisations are a frequent delight, particularly on his own composition "Over and Sons", which runs on the kind of perfectly lubricated rollers that would have Donald Fagen purring.
That's the first CD. There's a second, containing a 42-minute instrumental suite in four sections, titled "Dreams and Desperate Measures". It seems to have been improvised by Carrington, Parks, Stevens, Guerin and Spalding, with the addition of a very spare orchestration — by Edmar Colón — for three violinists, a cellist, a clarinetist and a flautist. Ebbing and flowing quite beautifully, slowly changing with the light, it quietly compels the listener's attention. You feel like you're sitting in the middle of an intimate conversation, or — in places — a chamber-music version of Bitches Brew.
"Music transcends, breaks barriers, strengthens us, and heals old wounds," Carrington says in a statement accompanying the album. If that's a proposition which can ever be proved, here — in an album as good as anything I've heard all year — is some persuasive evidence.
* Terri Lyne Carrington will be at Kings Place on Saturday as part of the EFG London Jazz festival, she and Social Science Community performing Waiting Game at a 7pm concert before being joined by British guests — including the saxophonist Soweto Kinch and the trumpeter Emma-Jane Thackray — for a 9pm show.

I remember when 'essential' entered the music lovers' vocabulary. Probably activated by the Melody Maker, or Bob Harris on OGWT around 1973. 'It's essential listening man!' Mostly it was used by those who were pushing their personal taste on others, even if they were talking about 'Blood On The Tracks' or 'In A Silent Way'. I liked it best when it was was used ironically, as a bit of a put down… Bloke A, seeking validation, would say proudly, 'I just got the new Gentle Giant.' And Bloke B – picture Lee Brilleaux pulling on a smoke and looking down towards the pub's worn carpet, would 'respond', almost under his breath, 'Yeah [pause] essential.'

Sad to see a gratuitous swipe at the eternally misunderstood Giant – even from such an esteemed and and estimable contributor.In the context Fruup(say) yes but GG? Nah.
Meantime the Carrington sounds pretty good.

I'd have to agree with you 100% . The question always coming to mind … Essential according to whom ? The record label ? The artist ? A raft of critics who've never so much as stood on a stage never mind recorded an album or written a song / composition ? ( the last coming straight out of the Bob Dylan repertoire )
The greatest irony … for me at least .. is the fact that I've never found any so called ' essential ' album or listening list worth the time it took to read it … never mind listen to it
So regardless of the snark and detractors … hear hear and two thumbs up to you good sir for having the stones to call ' essential ' what it is . An opinion one may ( or more likely not ) agree with … making it nonessential at best
Richard Williams	#
That's me: always pushing my personal taste on others.
Which is in essence the very definition of your job . Expressing your opinion and promoting your personal tastes to others who may or may not always agree with you . BUT … your opinions once ' trusted ' do help one to discover new music that may of slipped under their radar .
The difference between your opinions/reviews … and these so called ' essential ' collections ? You good sir are not trying to sell us something . You're recommending it … based on your personal tastes …
.. which in case the fact has eluded you due to my overt Robert Hughes / LJKS / HST tendencies …. I do fully respect … even when I may vehemently disagree
.. which is why I come here
FYI ; Never been a TLC fan and no doubt never will be so I couldn't care less about this ' essential ' collection…. that isn't . But that's my ( never ever humble ) opinion !

Sounds like an early present to myself. Thanks, Richard.

A great curtain-raiser to Saturday's concert.
TLC's 2015 Perfection with David Murray and Geri Allen is also worth hearing. This mighty trio appeared at the LJF the following year; it must have been Allen's last appearance in London. She is much missed.

High school seniors win DAR citizenship essay contest
Andrew Mundhenk Times-News Staff Writer @BRNAndrew
Three Henderson County high school seniors were recognized for their essays on good citizenship Friday by the Joseph McDowell Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Kathryn Thomas of Hendersonville High, Ashley Patton of North Henderson High and Aleigha Kozlik of West Henderson High were honored as winners of the Good Citizen Scholarship Essay Contest during the local DAR chapter's meeting Friday at the Cedars in Hendersonville.
Thomas' essay was selected as the winner for the western district and the state of North Carolina. She will be recognized for that achievement in April and her essay will be submitted into the national competition.
The contest was open to all Henderson County seniors. Participants were given a sealed envelope with a title and focus question and had two hours to write the essay under supervision of their counselors.
Students were asked as the nation's leaders of tomorrow how they would energize America's youth to fully engage as effective citizens.
In her essay, Thomas called for specific educational programs to be made available to all students and said American society should shift toward a focus on youth civic engagement.
She said education is the foundation of all change, and before anyone can fully engage as a citizen, they must comprehend the importance of lifelong civic engagement.
"While America currently has one of the longest-standing and most legitimate democracies in the world, forces exist that could crumble our government tomorrow," Thomas said. "To protect and sustain American democracy investments must be made towards educational programs for America's youth."
Patton said in her essay that the best way to engage youth is to implement programs that encourage them to do community service.
"Students learn many things about themselves and their peers through community service," she said. "They learn how to take initiative and solve problems and also learn important communication skills. students feel a sense o empowerment when they accomplish service projects because they feel like better people who are informed about the communities who made them who they are."
Kozlik said many students are leaders of organizations, clubs, sports and programs. She said it's imperative that America's youth acknowledges the power they have to lead, invent, create and inspire.
"Students have put their minds to the test by pushing themselves to accomplish their goals. Therefore, America's youth must realize they already exhibit the power they hold. If they put it toward larger things, then they can lead our nation for the betterment of its citizens."
Contestants were also judged on their participation in extracurricular activities, contributions to the community, preparation for college and qualities that make a good citizen: dependability, service, leadership and patriotism.
The students received a $50 check as well as a certificate and pin.


Since the last time I wrote a GMTS blog, I've started – and finished! – my flexi placement.
For my flexi, I spent eight weeks in the Ministerial Correspondence and Public Enquiries Unit (MCPE) at the Department of Health and Social Care.
I had some other options lined up, but due partially to logistics and partially to my desire to see health policy in action, even if second-hand, I accepted DHSC's offer and went off to MPCE.
I'm so glad I made the decision I did.
During my flexi I did exactly no work related to informatics. I did work that was only tangentially related to policy. I didn't necessarily learn all of the things that I thought I'd learn going in, but I learnt so much more than I expected. Perhaps more importantly, I know that the work I did will continue to have an impact on the Department long after I've gone.
In my eight weeks in Westminster, I rewrote the complaints handling process for the entire Department of Health, including guidance that's been published on gov.uk and internal documents that any employee handling a complaint will use. In the process, I learned a lot about how to balance the concerns of the public with the logistics of complaints handling and the extensive best practice laid out by the PHSO.
I conducted internal reviews on the handling of FOI requests, which put me into debates and working groups with policy teams, government legal teams, and other government departments – even Number 10! I learned the legal obligations of public authorities under the Freedom of Information Act backwards and forwards, and then had to apply that knowledge in drafting decision letters to members of the public and departmental statements for the Information Commissioner.
When I wasn't conducting internal reviews or working on complaints handling, I also worked with correspondence teams across government and DHSC agencies to benchmark call centre services as part of a rescoping exercise, and helped to streamline the way in which ministerial correspondence is keyworded and organised.
Looking back, I'm amazed at how much I managed to do in eight weeks. I've been back to DHSC twice to catch up with members of my team there. They've expressed gratitude for the work that I've done, but I feel immensely grateful for having been able to do it, and do it for a team who were as kind, hardworking, and caring as MCPE.
If you'd asked me what I thought I'd be doing for my flexi when I started on the scheme in the autumn, or later in winter when I started looking at flexi options, or even in spring before I'd narrowed down my choices, I probably never would have said working with ministerial correspondence. It's a team that I didn't even know existed until about five months before I started there. But because it came so out of the blue, I learnt so much more that I might have in a more familiar setting. So when it comes time for flexi, go outside your comfort zone – you never know what it might teach you!
Hi, I'm Alexandra. I joined the Scheme in 2017, specialising in Health Informatics in London. Prior to joining the NHS, I did an BA in International Studies in the US—I'm Texan by birth!—spent time working in refugee resettlement, and then relocated to the UK to do an MSc in Global Health & Public Policy at Edinburgh University. As a non-Brit, I can thoroughly appreciate the value of the NHS, and hope to be able to contribute to it's future success!


(CNN) — A teen who lands in lockup a few times can get on a police department's nerves.
But officers have taken a shine to Jamal Rutledge since they arrested him in September in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He helped save the life of the officer who was booking him. Now, he's their hero.
Officer Franklin Foulks was filling out Rutledge's paperwork, as they sat alone in a holding area, where a surveillance camera recorded them.
Rutledge, in cuffs, fidgeted on his seat, and stared at the floor, then he turned around to look through the security fencing behind him. That's when Foulks keeled over sideways off his stool.
Rutledge turned around to find him on the floor grabbing his chest. The juvenile defendant yelled for help, Fort Lauderdale Police Department said in a statement Tuesday.
He paced the processing cell and kicked the gate and quickly got other officers' attention. The officers rushed in, started CPR, called paramedics and gave Foulks a jolt with the defibrillator.
Rutledge was led to another room.
The juvenile defendant's quick thinking was key in saving Foulks' life, doctors told the police department.
In a press photo, the officers who helped save Foulks lined up in honor of their heroic deed. In the middle was Rutledge in a proud pose. Smiles spread across all their faces.
Next week, the city commission will honor them all in a meeting.
Rutledge was being booked on probation violation and other felony charges when Foulks had the episode, South Florida's Sun-Sentinel reported, citing detective DeAnna Greenlaw.


Need to know how to cook pancit molo recipe or pancit molo soup? Guess what!? This filipino food, pancit molo, has the term "pancit" or "pansit" which means (noodles) in its name but actually doesn't use any ingredient of noodles or "pancit" in its recipe. Unlike other pancit recipe, pancit molo is not dry but souply and does not used noodles but it uses either wonton, siomai or molo wrappers.
I'll try this when I visit my mom in Laguna. Thanks bec. I learned more ingredients compare to my moms classic style in molo soup. I'll keep it a secret!!!!
Singkamas is Jicama, NOT turnip. Turnip is a whole different root vegetable, more similar to hard potato. Recipe sounds good though. For singkamas or Jicama a good substitute would be water chestnuts from the can.
I will try the pancit molo recipe for christmas for my family. That is perfect for the simbang gabi or salvo soup or entree for noche buena. More power nad expect more delicious food recipe in the future…merry xmas and hapi new year.

"How to incubate embedded/IoT engineers with modeling methods"
Rapidly growing country has privilege to look at already grown country. Computer and software industry started in Europe and North America last century. Japan was fortunate enough to take such technology seed and succeeded to grow the strongly electronics flavored software industry in recent decades. Washing machine, shaver, TV, car, game, train, elevator, and so on were all morphed from mechatronics products to well programmed electronics products. Japan took big efforts in different segments to achieve this morphing. Lecturer will present how Japan formed education and business echo-system with collaboration of government, industry, and academic organizations as whole. Especially software engineering-oriented education was considered important.
Also, recent IoT environment allows embedded software to exploit huge computation power for small applications. For example, coping so called butterfly effect in physical dynamics has been issue for Weather forecast software. Lecture will talk about bright possibility and necessity to take R&D effort in this field through sports science experience.

"Intelligent Transport Systems of Motorcycles with Coming Precise Positioning System"
Recently, many Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have been researched and developed for driving safety and smooth traffic. Motorcycles are popularly used in the world especially in Asia. There are few ITS for motorcycles because motorcycle is low priced and it has more complex vehicle motion and dynamics. In this talk, I will introduce my ITS project for motorcycles.
An advantage of the motorcycle as a mobile sensing node is its mobility in the road. A coming precise positioning method with GNSS provide accurate position so that the mobility can be utilized for many services. I will also introduce the coming positioning system. As launching new navigation satellites by China, EU, India and Japan, Southeast Asia is becoming the most favorable condition for GNSS positioning.

"Thermal-Image-Based Categorization and Measurement; Case-Study on Vehicle Categorization and Food Calorie Measurement"
Thermal signal and thermal image recently become another important and interesting information comparing with conventional signals representing brightness, sound, distance, etc. In some conditions such as nighttime, it is almost impossible to get brightness information to process and categorize object types. As a case study, thermal signal is regarded to be able to apply for vehicle-type categorization at night time and dark areas, since vehicles generally gets heat from their engines, and their heat patterns can be categorized and recognized the vehicle types. Similarly, food that is normally cooked in the warm or even hot temperature level is regarded as possible to classify and recognize food types and their ingredients by using heat pattern. In this talk, research cases of nighttime vehicle-type categorization and food calorie measurement are explained and discussed in order to understand the trend of thermal signal applications.
Invited Talk III
Shin Nakajima
National Institute of Informatics, Japan
Shin Nakajima is a Professor at National Institute of Informatics. He has worked in the area of theory and practice achieving required dependability of software-intensive systems including CPS and machine learning. He is particularly interested in formal methods, automated formal verification, and software testing.
"Formal Analysis of Causal Loop Diagrams"
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are a new paradigm of software modeling, in which closed feedback loops are essential to capture system's dynamic behavior. This view, in a sense orthogonal to object-oriented modeling, is applicable to a wide variety of control-intensive software systems from embedded systems design to business dynamics. Modeling at an abstract level requires some concrete notations, and Causal Loop Diagrams (CLD) are such diagrams. Their intuitive operational semantics describe how changes are propagated along loops, and provide a basis for checking properties by means of specification animation or manual inspection. This talk introduces a formal definition of dynamic behavior of CLD, which enables automated checking of CLD descriptions against required properties. Technically the definition employs a net-based formal system, a variant of Petri-nets, to represent true concurrency.


"I hate housework. You make the beds, you wash the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again."
Stock Up; buy new cleaning supplies, rubber gloves, a bucket for hot soapy water and lots of new cleaning cloths. Buy cleaning supplies that are good for your home and good for the environment.
Donate, donate, donate; I always start a Spring Clean by taking the time to find things that my family no longer needs/uses. We bag them up and donate them.
Make a list and share it out; I get the kids to dust the stair rails, wipe the light switches, floor boards and give them challenges to see who can find the most lost Lego from under the furniture!
Take it one at once; I find it easier to battle one room at a time or one job at a time. I might clean every window in one round and then another day clean a whole room from top to bottom.
Make it fun; Music, podcasts and reward Gin & Tonics make cleaning seem way more fun!
What are your top Spring Cleaning tips?
I was sent some Pine-sol to test in my home- it's really good by the way! Opinions, stories, photos, dust and children forced to do cleaning jobs were all my own.

Land use has had a major impact on habitat structure in the Southern Appalachians. One of the most conspicuous changes has been the loss of large woody debris (LWD). Human use has so changed the structure and composition of most forested watersheds that is difficult for average citizens to understand why LWD matters. Research is underway to determine the effect of adding LWD on trout, trout habitat, and macroinvertebrates in two southwest Virginia streams.
