One Year After Omicron, How Is the World Coping with Coronavirus?
Source: The National
It is barely more than a year since scientists in southern Africa first detected the coronavirus Omicron variant, which, along with its myriad sub-variants, went on to become dominant around the globe.
Omicron spreads more easily than earlier variants, but causes less severe illness and death in general, statistics have shown.
However, a surge in cases may lead to increases in admissions to hospital and deaths. Omicron caused Covid-19 infection and death rates to soar in many nations.
But, 12 months months on, the latest figures from the World Health Organisation indicate that the disease is causing a little more than 8,000 deaths a week worldwide — the lowest figure since March 2020, when the pandemic was declared by the WHO.
In 2021, there was no single week when fewer than 40,000 Covid-19 deaths were recorded.
While much of the world is seeing more variability after the initial Omicron-induced surge faded in the early months of this year, case numbers and deaths have remained much lower.
Major nations as diverse as Brazil, France, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa and the US all appear to have put the worst of the pandemic behind them, even if in some instances Covid-19 deaths are still running in the hundreds — or low thousands in the case of the US — per week.
Life has largely returned to its pre-pandemic state, with high vaccination rates, natural immunity from previous infection and Omicron's reduced pathogenicity causing Covid-19 to merge into the background of other respiratory infections.
This has allowed travel restrictions to be lifted and caused a reduction in requirements for mask-wearing, testing and self-isolation.
People 'dying with Covid, not from Covid'
It is now "a rarity" for Covid-19 to cause someone to be admitted to hospital in the UK, says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading in the country, "and a particular rarity if someone dies of it". The pneumonia that caused so many deaths, especially early in the pandemic, is much less common than it was.
"It's more a case of them dying with Covid than from Covid," he says. "For sick people, whichever respiratory virus was doing the rounds would be what [killed them] in the end."
Sub-variants of Omicron now account for the overwhelming majority of Covid-19 infections globally. Many non-Omicron variants or sub-variants are detected at extremely low levels or are no longer seen at all.
Tests have shown that Omicron replicates faster than some earlier forms of the virus in the bronchus — the tubes that run from the windpipe to the lungs — which helps explain why it spreads easily.
But it replicates much slower than other variants in the lungs, a key factor in why it typically causes less severe disease.
"It's attenuated and it's done it very quickly," Prof Jones says of the coronavirus. "It's now an upper respiratory infection almost exclusively, which is why it transmits better. It's just much better at getting around.
"The damage originally was getting pneumonia and ground-glass [x-rays of the lung]. That's gone because it doesn't seem to go into the lower parts of the respiratory system."
Nevertheless, this week Anthony Fauci, the departing director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the US and the chief medical advisor to the US president, urged people in his country to have a Covid-19 booster vaccination.
The messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have been updated to take account of Omicron, so offer greater protection now than the original forms of these vaccines.
The effects of long Covid
Countries that previously experienced high infection rates have been left with a debilitating legacy of long Covid, typically defined as symptoms that linger for more than a month.
Aside from huge death rates in the US — where more than a million people died from Covid — data from the US Census Bureau collected in June and analysed by the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington DC indicates that about 16 million working-age Americans have long Covid, of whom between two and four million are not working as a result.
And a study published this month by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, using data from the US Department of Veterans Affairs, found that the risk of long Covid and other serious complications rises after a first infection.
The results indicate, the researchers said, that vaccinated people who have previously had Covid should still take precautions to prevent getting infected again. Other experts have suggested that risks plateau as the number of infections an individual has had increase.
Prof Jones says that for people who have already received multiple vaccine doses, "there probably isn't much need" to get an additional shot. This may change, however.
"It all depends on whether you get lifetime immunity from using the current vaccine," he says. "The problem for Covid in particular is that coronaviruses seem to evade immunity and in particular with mRNA vaccines, we don't know how long immunity will last, because they haven't been round long enough."
Where is Covid getting worse?
In a continuation of the widely divergent national pictures that have characterised the pandemic from the beginning, several countries, such as Australia, China and Japan, that missed out on the worst effects of the coronavirus in the first two years, saw the situation become much more serious in 2022.
Sometimes this was because the ease at which Omicron and its subvariants such as BA.5 spread made it much harder to suppress case numbers and these newer variants often evaded immunity from prior infection or vaccination.
Australia had recorded about 2,250 deaths by the end of 2021, but when late that year the country moved away from a zero-Covid strategy, which involves trying to eliminate rather than live with the coronavirus, case numbers rocketed and the death toll rose to above 15,000.
Japan's case numbers also surged in 2022, in part because of BA.5, and more than 60 per cent of its Covid-19 deaths have happened this year.
China, in attempting to retain a zero-Covid policy, is now something of an outlier nearly three years on from the pathogen's emergence in Wuhan.
Disruptive efforts to prevent the spread of the virus remain in place and society appears a long way away from living with the virus.
Cracks in the approach spearheaded by President Xi Jinping's government are growing, with the country experiencing a record number of daily cases on Wednesday, at 31,527.
The country's population remains more vulnerable to Covid because of a lower level of natural immunity, poor vaccination rates — a particular problem among elderly people — and limited efficacy of the domestically developed vaccines.
One concern is that high levels of infection could cause significant spikes in deaths among the elderly on the mainland, just as they did in Hong Kong care homes earlier this year, where vaccination rates among the elderly were also low.
"My concerns remain around China. It's got a large population that's susceptible because they don't use the mRNA vaccines," says Dr Bharat Pankhania, a senior clinical lecturer and senior consultant in communicable disease control at the University of Exeter in the UK.
"In a large population, such as China's … the immunity produced [by their vaccines] is not as long-lasting. Where the modern mRNA vaccines have been deployed, these countries are in a better position."
China's zero-Covid policy has kept the official death toll from the coronavirus on the mainland to 5,232, a tiny figure for a country of 1.4 billion people.
This number is thought by many analysts to massively underestimate the true figure, but the country's efforts to suppress infections mean that total deaths — and the numbers suffering from long-Covid — are probably much lower than they would otherwise have been.
But in keeping more of its people alive, China has caused its economy to take a hit and prevented life from returning to normal. A year on from the emergence of Omicron, the pandemic remains front and centre in the world's most populous nation.

Sarah Palin didn't mince words with Dear Leader Obama over his visit to see the yentas on The View while Rome burns. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has also asked Obama to come to the border on numerous occasions, a plea she repeated last night. So far, she's been turned down.
Obama is seemingly too busy feeding his oversized ego, vacationing, and playing golf to care about the needs of the American people. I mean really, why should Dear Leader care about mere peasants? He's got his. Got it made livin' the Thug Life!
Let 'em eat cake, right!
I'm thinking Sarah Palin is the one who will force Obama's hand on this deal. Mama Grizzly ain't happy, and when Mama ain't happy ….
Support for the building of a fence along the Mexican border has reached a new high, and voters are more confident than ever that illegal immigration can be stopped.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters now believe the United States should continue to build a fence on the Mexican border. That's up nine points from March when the Obama administration halted funding for the fence and the highest level of support ever.
Just 21% oppose the continued building of the border fence.
Support for the fence is strong across all demographic groups. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it.
Forty-seven percent (47%) of all voters believe it is possible to end illegal immigration. That's up slightly from April of last year.
Now only 36% do not think it is possible for the United States to prevent illegal immigrants from getting into the country. That's down sixteen points since October 2008.

SPORT: Various sports & Fitness
Multitalented Athlete: There are few sports Csilla hasn't tried since starting out as a young athlete in her home country of Hungary, where she was recruited to be an elite runner and, later, a national-level rowing champion.
Since moving to America at 24, she has jumped out of a plane, learned to ride a motorcycle, ran the Tough Mudder obstacle course, taken up rock climbing and become a personal trainer (in addition to studying International Affairs and starting her career). But her latest accomplishment, placing fourth in a Fitness Universe competition, challenges Csilla in entirely new ways. "I got involved to test how far I can push myself," she says. "The process of preparing for a fitness competition taught me the importance of a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle. It also helped me to get back to a great shape in between and after having kids." There's no stopping her now.

Shopify has outlined a quick video guide on gaining new Instagram followers. Skip to the 3 minute mark if you're short on time. Since they're the most popular ecommerce platform for brands on Instagram, let's take their advice to heart and then expand on it. We begin by analyzing your competitors' existing audience, then determine their most valuable followers. Since they're already interested in your competitors, it's likely they will not only follow you, but potentially convert to a customer as well.
To summarize, find your competitors and engage with their followers.
Step 1: Identify competitors who you can steal followers from.
You can start off with local competitors. Add them to your list of Instagram accounts you want to steal followers from. Great. Local competition sorted. ut how do you find similar accounts to yours from elsewhere in the world? Many would think that searching by hashtag and looking at the Top Posts section would be an effective technique. It isn't. Take a look at the search we did below for #DustyFingers — a popular hashtag among vinyl record collectors.
It's mostly consumers, but we want to be more targeted. How do we find people that follow record stores and not only other record collectors?
SMAudienceis an amazing free tool for finding Instagram influencers. When you search for a hashtag, it gives you a list of popular accounts that have recently used the hashtag, their total follower count and most importantly: their average engagement % per post. Powerful. We did the same search for #DustyFingers, scrolled down a tiny bit and found our 1st brick and mortar record shop to take notes from.
SMAudience Influencer Search will show you who your competition is and their average post performance.
Step 2: Determine which of your competitors' followers are most likely to follow you.
Don't count on social media platforms to last forever. There have been many studies on the life expectancy of a social networkand Instagram is no exception to the rule. Although Instagram has improved its daily user growth, it also loses a large number of users on a daily basis as well. There are many reasons why people leave Instagram, but that's not what's important in the context of stealing the competition's followers.
Don't worry about the people leaving the platform. We're going to identify habits of Instagram users that not only show they're in it for the long haul, but are also willing to follow new accounts.


For a small business owner or manager, finances are among the most important considerations for the business to flourish. While the majority of financial considerations are strictly internal, payroll is one in which all members of a company hold personal stake. Payroll is also the single biggest expense for most companies, so it's important to process it accurately and efficiently.
When exploring payroll systems, small business owners and managers must provide full consideration to their needs..
No two small businesses are the same. Therefore, each company benefits from different features that cater to the unique nature of the business. Customized small business payroll software has a significant impact on a company, allowing for simplicity and ease of payroll functions.
When evaluating a business for payroll needs, there are some general guidelines and "checkpoints" to take into account. Based off these standard considerations, companies can be sure they have found the best small business payroll software.
No matter the size of a business, one of the most complex aspects of payroll is accurately documenting and managing taxes. Federal, state, and local tax regulations and guidelines are constantly changing. It is imperative to ensure that small businesses are compliant with these regulations in order to avoid costly penalties and other financial losses.
Small business payroll software offering tax filing features can help relieve owners and managers from the complexities of managing deductions and filing taxes.
An employee self-service portal allows employees to manage their own personal payroll data with a few simple clicks. This streamlines the data keeping process, as it eliminates the need for back-and-forth communication between employees and their employers or HR professionals when managing and reviewing personal information.
A small business payroll software self-service portal should include information such as pay stubs, paid time off balance, and W2 forms. Mobile accessibility of employee portals may also be a consideration.
From the employee's standpoint, paper checks often serve as an inconvenience. Paper checks require an employee to make a separate trip to the bank outside of work hours and possibly endure a waiting period before the funds become available.
From the employer's standpoint, paper checks hamper productivity as managers must take time out of their day to physically hand each employee a check.
Eliminating paper checks saves time, effort, and resources for both employers and their employees. Direct deposit is a key feature to look for in small business payroll software.
Small business payroll software with human resources (HR) integration may provide significant benefits. The benefits of HR integration are universal: streamlining communication and organization between departments and ultimately reducing time, resources, and often costs. Less paperwork, automatic updating, and reporting consolidation are key benefits.
Small businesses may wish to consider integration with other systems such as accounting software. Integrating other systems into the payroll process can help reduce or eliminate certain errors that are risked when information is juggled between various departments. Acquiring a system made for integration can also help improve the quality of analytics, as it allows cross-referencing of information from the various solutions for decision making.
When selecting a payroll solution, cost is a big factor for most small businesses. However, choosing the cheapest product available may not be the best option. The cheaper the payroll solution, the more manual work the system requires, in most cases.
Before selecting a payroll software solution, business owners or managers should consult with the people that will actually be using the software on a regular basis. This can be done after preliminary research has been conducted and a short list of potential solutions has been compiled.
Stakeholders may have insights that can help with narrowing down the short list. They may also be more excited to use the new solution, knowing they played a pivotal role in the selection process.

Meet the Bead Man of Encinitas

(Photo by Lonnie Burstein Hewitt)
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt
If you're a beader or a rockhound, you already know Beads, Crystals and More, a shop in the Lumberyard that's been there for over two decades. And whoever you are, you may have been lucky enough to venture inside and see geodes, African and Native American totems, and the small but impressive museum in back, and maybe have a chance to chat with the owner, Phil Fischman, about beads, crystals, and much, much more.
A Jersey boy who grew up near the Jersey Shore, Fischman's love of rocks started when he was about seven; he didn't get into beads until the summer of '69, when he was 15, and stopped into a shop on the boardwalk to buy a few beads to go with some shells he was stringing to give to his sister and some friends.
"I was always a creative kid," he said. "And I suddenly got turned on by a big red- white-and-blue-striped bead, and asked the guy in the store about it. He said it was an African trade bead called a Chevron, made in Venice in about the year 1500, and worn by African kings and warriors. I bought my two dollars' worth of beads, and when I walked out of the store, my brain was buzzing. Art, history, culture, travel! Wouldn't it be great to have a small bead store somewhere near the ocean someday?"
Thirty years later, Fischman walked into a bead store on South Coast Highway 101, needing to make a 10-cent purchase. He was making 43 pairs of earrings for his wife's 43rd birthday, to match the bead necklaces he'd already made her, and found himself short one head-pin. He usually bought 1,000 at a time, but he'd just used his last, and her birthday was the next day.
"The store was called Beads and More, and it was half-empty," he said. "But I bought my head-pin and was about to walk out when I noticed a little sign that said: Bead Store For Sale. They wanted cash; we didn't have the money. Driving home, I saw a cloud formation in the sky: it looked like an eagle, and the eagle is my totem. My wife believed in me; we took everything out of the bank, took out a second mortgage on our house and borrowed $5,000 from my father. I knew nothing about visualization at 15, but I was actualizing this store way back then."
An African King's Chair, from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria, now sitting outside the museum in the back of the store.
Somewhere along the way, Fischman had spent a year at Ohio University and then hitchhiked cross-country, learning a lot about Native American beads. "I got a job at a very cool bead store in Tucson," he said. "They had a museum in back, and they'd been written up in 'Arizona Highways.' When they closed down, I bought most of their beads and their museum collection."
You can see some of these in his bead store, and if Fischman is in, as he often is, you can ask about whatever catches your eye, and hear stories about it. Every piece in the store was handpicked, he'll tell you—bought because he loved it, from people he knows, likes and trusts all over the world.
But don't wait too long. The current owners of the Lumberyard have raised his rent high enough to price him out of Encinitas, so soon he'll be closing his doors and preparing for the grand opening of a new store in downtown Vista on June 14—his father's birthday.
Be sure to stop by the old store before then, admire its wonders, take advantage of the "2020 Sale"—20% off anything over $20—and chat with the Bead Man while he's still in the neighborhood. "I'm a merchant of joy," he says. "We transact love and light; we disguise it as beads and rocks."
Fischman will be at 967 S. Coast Highway 101 until May 15, and the store is open seven days a week. There will probably be a farewell sale too—and a Hug-a-thon. For more information, see BeadsCrystalsandMore.com or email Phil Fischman at beadlovers@aol.com/

Peter Paul Habicht (* 21. August 1911 in Bieber bei Offenbach am Main; † 11. Januar 1944 in  Ottleben bei Halberstadt) war ein deutscher Kunst- und Segelflieger und Luftwaffenoffizier.

Leben

Frühe Jahre
Peter Habicht kam als Sohn des Schriftgießers und "Veteranen der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung" Peter Habicht sen. und dessen Ehefrau Anna Elisabetha Kimmel in Bieber bei Offenbach am Main zur Welt. Nach seinem Volksschulabschluss 1925 lernte er Feinmechaniker bei der Schriftgießerei D. Stempel AG in Frankfurt am Main. 1932 trat er der Flugsportvereinigung Offenbach bei; 1933 gründete er den von ihm geleiteten DLV-Fliegerstützpunkt Bieber. In beiden Fliegervereinen engagierte er sich als Segelfluglehrer und Jugendleiter. In Erinnerung an ihn nennt die Flugsportvereinigung Offenbach-Reinheim heute ihre Jugendgruppe "Die Habichte".

Karriere im Nationalsozialistischen Fliegerkorps
1934/35 arbeitete Habicht bei der von Walter Georgii geleiteten Deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug in Darmstadt. Anschließend war er im Rahmen der anfangs verdeckten Luftaufrüstung des "Dritten Reichs" als zivilangestellter Motorfluglehrer bei den DLV-Fliegerübungsstellen Darmstadt und Lachen-Speyerdorf tätig. Ab April 1939 erfolgte Habichts Einsatz als Gruppenfluglehrer beim Luftwaffen-Fliegerausbildungsregiment 53 in Straubing, Neuhausen bei Königsberg (Preußen) und Jena.
Ab 1937 betätigte sich Habicht ehrenamtlich beim Nationalsozialistischen Fliegerkorps (NSFK). In der Landesgruppe 16 (Südwest) fungierte er als Segelflugreferent im Gau Saarpfalz und war dort für die Segelflugausbildung der Jugend verantwortlich. Seine NSFK-Karriere wurde gefördert vom Führer der NSFK-Landesgruppe 16, Werner Zahn. Bei südwestdeutschen Flugtagen trat Habicht 1937/38 als Kunstflieger auf; am Deutschlandflug 1938, dem weltgrößten Ereignis dieser Art, nahm Habicht als Pilot in Zahns Stabsstaffel teil, die den 4. Platz erzielte. Im Segelflugzeug unternahm Habicht 1938 und 1939 meteorologische Forschungs- und Langstreckenflüge. Außerdem beteiligte er sich mit den Hochleistungs-Segelflugzeugen Condor II bzw. Mü 13 an den Segelflugwettbewerben auf der Rhön. Seine Flugberichte wurden später von Peter Riedel zitiert. Im Sommer 1939 gründete Habicht die "Leistungssegelflugschule Straubing", die wegen des Kriegs bald ihren Betrieb einstellen musste. Er war Inhaber des Leistungssegelfliegerabzeichens Nr. 620 und NSDAP-Mitglied seit 1937.

Staffelkapitän beim Zerstörergeschwader 26
Ab 1940 wurde Habicht in der Luftkriegsschule 4 zum Offizier und in der Zerstörerschule Memmingen zum Flugzeugführer ausgebildet. Von Herbst 1941 bis Herbst 1943 versah er Dienst in der III. Gruppe des  Zerstörergeschwaders 26 "Horst Wessel" am Mittelmeer – zunächst als Flugzeugführer in der 7. Staffel, ab Mai 1942 als Staffelkapitän der 10. Staffel. Diese war mit den Flugzeugtypen  Dornier Do 17 und – ab Oktober 1942 – Junkers Ju 88 ausgerüstet. Deren Aufgaben bestanden (1.) in der Sicherung von Schiffsgeleiten der Achsenmächte zwischen Italien und Libyen, (2.) in der Erdkampfunterstützung von Rommels Afrikakorps und (3.) in Bombenangriffen auf alliierte Ziele, vor allem Malta. Am 8. November 1941 stürzte Habicht mit Motorschaden ins Mittelmeer und erlitt einen Schädelbasisbruch. Im Februar 1942 kehrte er zur Truppe zurück. Am 1. April 1942 wurde Habicht zum Hauptmann befördert. Seine Vorgesetzten beurteilten ihn als "einen ausgesprochenen Draufgänger […] mit guter Eigeninitiative." Mit der handstreichartigen Einnahme eines Feldflugplatzes bei Tobruk am 21. Juni 1942 und mit einer tollkühnen Rettungsaktion zugunsten eines notgewasserten deutschen Piloten am 24. Juni 1942 rechtfertigte er dieses Urteil.

Gruppenkommandeur der Ergänzungs-Zerstörer-Gruppe Braunschweig-Broitzem
Im September 1943 wurde Habicht von seinem Posten als Staffelkapitän (zuletzt der 11./ZG 26) abgelöst und als Gruppenkommandeur der Ergänzungs-Zerstörer-Gruppe Braunschweig-Broitzem eingesetzt. Am 11. Januar 1944 starben er und sein Bordfunker Helmut Busch bei dem Versuch, einen Luftangriff der 1. US-Bomberdivision auf die AGO Flugzeugwerke in Oschersleben abzuwehren. Ihre Messerschmitt Me 410 wurde im Luftkampf mit einem US-Begleitjäger der von Major James Howell Howard geführten 354. Fighter Group abgeschossen. Den Luftsieg konnte der 22-jährige US-Pilot Robert Winston Stephens für sich und seine North American P-51 Mustang mit dem Spitznamen "Killer" verbuchen. Habicht erhielt am 19. Januar 1944 ein Militärbegräbnis auf dem Bieberer Friedhof. In seinem Wehrpass sind 357 Feindflüge und zwei Luftsiege vermerkt. Er hinterließ seine Ehefrau Wilhelmina und zwei Töchter im Alter von 3½ Jahren bzw. vier Wochen. 2011 erinnerte die Tageszeitung Offenbach-Post an seinen 100. Geburtstag.

McCracken County High School's Leadership Development class, led by Amber Clapp, and the Mustang's Youth Services Center partnered together in a half-day full of volunteering and community service. As part of the United Way's Project United initiative, 25 MCHS students were able to sort, replenish/rack clothing and load/unload furniture at Heartland Worship Center's A.C.T.S. House. Some of the students also assisted Cassidy's Cause with painting in the horse stalls. Projects like these would have cost both organizations hundreds of dollars to hire a professional or weeks of their own time to complete the work! We are so proud of our students and their willingness to give back! Over 500 volunteers were able to participate in this community event and 24 organizations helped in Paducah/McCracken County.

The crew – Zhai Zhigang, 55, Wang Yaping, 41, and Ye Guangfu, 41 – will spend the next six months in orbit, making it the longest mission in the history of China's space program.
During this time, they will try out the key technology and robotics required to assemble the space station, test the onboard life support systems, and conduct various scientific experiments.
While this is Ye's first trip to space, it is the second time for mission commander Zhai, who performed China's first spacewalk in 2008. Wang, the first female on the Tiangong space station, has also been to space before (2013).

Tiangong will likely be the only station in orbit after the aging International Space Station (ISS) ceases operations in a couple of years.

UNITED. DELIVERED.: A fourth-dimensional feeling
For our Moscow match host, being a United fan is out of this world.
Stanislav Distlov has been a Manchester United fan for some 15 years now. But not just any fan. United "means almost everything" to him.
"My family means everything to me, and after that Manchester United," says Stansilav.
A highly devoted member of the Moscow Reds Supporters Club, Stanislav captains one of the club's amateur teams. He jumps at every chance to get involved.
"It is always a happy feeling to be part of something related to the club, especially at the official level," he says.
"To be involved with something – wearing the United logo – means almost everything to me."
Stanislav Distlov, Moscow match host
Knowing that, it shouldn't surprise you that he registered for a chance to host a UNITED.DELIVERED. match. It's the largest fan football tour in the world. Using our worldwide logistics expertise, DHL is delivering a ball around the globe so that United fans from all corners of the world can play together.
"To be involved with something – wearing the United logo – means almost everything to me," he wrote in his entry. "For every fan, it would be a like a dream come true."
After he was selected and was standing on the pitch before the match, he couldn't believe it. He was at a loss for words.
"I don't know what to say – thousands of thoughts are coming to my mind in one second."
The fourth dimension
There's something else Stanislav has trouble describing: the feeling he gets on game day at Old Trafford. As a UNITED.DELIVERED. match host, he now has a chance to win the ultimate prize – a trip of a lifetime to Old Trafford. He's been fortunate enough to have travelled to Manchester six times over the years – six experiences that, when he talks about it, were obviously magical.
"Every visit to this Theatre of Dreams was really a visit to a Theatre of Dreams," he says. "For every fan, no matter what country he represents, the real impression of being part of great crowds, of being the twelfth player, who cheers up Manchester United team […] is like something you cannot explain in words."
"It is like something you cannot explain with words."
Stanislav Distlov
"I don't know," he adds. "It's like a third eye opens to you. It's not a three-dimensional feeling. It's like fourth dimensional."
Though the feeling he gets at Old Trafford may seem out of this world, the importance Manchester United plays in his life is certainly something we can all understand and relate to.
"When I was in Manchester, I saw a sentence written on the wall: 'Manchester United means the world to me.' I can say that Old Trafford means the world to me. Manchester United means the world to me."
Host a match a live a dream!

It works when I run it from the terminal. However, when I added it as custom keyboard shortcut nothing happens.
When I run it this way:
terminator -e "echo 'email@gmail.com' | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clip; sleep 0.05"
the shortcut works , but when I change the sleep value to 0.01 it stops working.
a) How can I debug why this shortcut not work?
b) why does the shortcut works when the command is called from terminator?
c) why it is time dependent?
d) where I can find detailed documentation about how shortcut works in ubuntu?

IAR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Kal Penn and Director Ravi Kumar Talk 'Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain'
Friday, 21 November 2014 00:14	Written by Jami Philbrick
Opening in theaters on November 7th is the new historical drama Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain, which is based on a true story and stars Kal Penn.
Penn is best known for his roles in such popular film and TV projects as Van Wilder: Party Liaison, Superman Returns, 24, House M.D., How I Met Your Mother, and the Harold & Kumar trilogy. But in 2009 Penn decided to take a break from acting to join the Obama administration as an Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Engagement.
Now back from his side job in D.C., Penn joins Mischa Barton (TV's The O.C.) and the great Martin Sheen (The Departed, Apocalypse Now, TV's The West Wing) in Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain. The new film interweaves stories of people in India and the US as they face dilemmas in the months leading to the biggest Industrial disaster in human history that claimed 10,000 innocent lives within a few hours. The movie was written and directed by first time feature filmmaker Ravi Kumar.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Kal Penn and director Ravi Kumar about their work on Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain. The actor and his director discussed their new project, the true story it is based on, why they wanted to make the movie, Penn's post-White House acting choices, casting Mischa Barton and Martin Sheen, how Bhopal marks the second time Penn has worked with a US President, and what they hope audiences will learn from the film.
Here is what Kal Penn and director Ravi Kumar had to say about Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain:
IAR: To begin with, Ravi can you talk about the real life event that Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain is based on?
Ravi Kumar: You will have to excuse my accent. When I first hear about the subject, I was twelve I think. This is quite a vivid memory I have. When you start learning in a different perspective it changes everything. We did a lot of research on other subjects from the courtroom documents to the trial and testimony when we were writing the scripts.
Kal, what were your initial impressions when you first read the screenplay, and why did you want to be a part of this film?
Kal Penn: When I first read the script, I was actually very impressed. I knew about the story just from college classes and books that I grew up with. I was hesitant before I read the script because I was worried about it being told from a singular perspective. Whether that perspective in my head would have been industrialization is bad or government corruption is bad, I had a feeling before I read it that it would be through the lens of something that was not artistically interesting. I was wrong which was awesome. I read the script and was floored at the complexities, and I applaud Ravi for that. I think it is a hard thing to do. It is hard to write a film that is succinct, and that is an efficient adaptation of world events that touches on all the complexities of this disaster that lead to it happening. As soon as I read the script, I emailed him back and set up a meeting with him in L.A. That is really when I overheard the passion from which he speaks about why he wants to tell this story. As a first time director it is a huge undertaking. I thought that if this guy is really that passionate about it, I would love to be a part of it.
Kumar: When Kal was first in India, as far from the US you as you can imagine, he was in a pink shirt under an umbrella sweating. He was looking at me with a glare in his eye. "What I am doing here?" he said. I thought that was great. From Kal Penn to Mischa Barton, they came to India in an exotic location where a first time director was trying to make his film. They were very polite to me. It is nice now, but I think it was an event for me.
Kal, did working in the White House for President Obama change the types of projects that you are interested in, and did having that life experience change your approach to acting?
Penn: No. Actually I loved the fact that I have been able to keep the two worlds so separate. I feel like it is a blessing to go from doing these outrageous stoner movies and having the privilege of being on a show like House, which is a very mainstream and network show. Then taking two years off to do something completely unrelated, and then back to Harold & Kumar or an independent film like this. Having audiences still be willing to invite me into their living room or come to the theater is really a blessing. I cannot thank the fans enough for giving me the chance to do that. I also like that the two worlds are separate. When I went to take the sabbatical in D.C., I was straight from Hollywood. I think my first project back from D.C. was How I Met Your Mother. I feel like I was a little rusty if anything from not acting for two years. But I would not say that working in D.C. had any bearing on any of the roles that I am looking for and taking.
Ravi, you've said publically that you wanted to make this movie for the younger generation who did not know the story, and also for the generation who lived through it but may have forgotten about the details. Can you talk about that and your motivations for making this film?
Kumar: What happened when we screened the film early on was that people were surprised it was a fictional drama. They were shocked. But we will be old soon. I mean I am already old. So basically what I am saying is that we actually have the power to do something about our planet.
I thought actress Mischa Barton gave an excellent performance in the film. Ravi, can you talk about casting her against type for this movie?
Kumar: She is an amazing actress, which is a great bonus. She did an amazing job in the film.
Ravi, how did you get veteran actor Martin Sheen involved in the project?
Kumar: I met one of his friends and gave the script to him. Within 24 hours I got a note that said, "Yes." So actually because of him, the whole thing generated very quickly. Because of him I think people could tell we were serious. Martin was the driving force behind this project. He changed some lines of the script, and that actually made all the difference in the film. I think he knows how to make films with etiquette. I am a first time director, and he took me under his wing. He was reassuring the whole time. He was a wonderful actor. I do not really know what else to say about him.
Kal, do you realize that you can now say that you've worked with two different Presidents: Barack Obama, and Josiah Bartlet (Sheen's character on The West Wing).
Penn: That's true. I hadn't thought of that before.
Finally, what kind of impact are you hoping the film will have with audiences, and do you think with education we can prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again?
Penn: Yeah, it is an interesting question. We can easily point to disasters like this that have happened, and of course the BP oil spill. It is very hard to point to disasters that have been averted because they do not make the news. I think that is a good thing ultimately but a harder thing to rally around. I think it is always important to remember. If you look at how frequently disasters occur, are they occurring less frequently? Is that not a testament to the fact that it does make sense to put checks and balances, and oversight into industrial plans and environmental regulations, things that the rest of the world does not debate anymore. Our politics mandated that we keep debating these relatively archaic things. But that is fine considering the fact that it is the reality. If a movie like this can help advance that conversation, I think that is great.

Obituary of Richard F. Lee
Richard F. Lee (age 60) died peacefully on Monday, January 9 after living bravely and valiantly with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and ALS. Rick never complained or felt self-pity about his diagnosis. Instead, he accepted it and committed himself to staying active and serving others. Until his final month, he volunteered at the Unity Shoppe and Central Office of AA, and loved walking long distances sharing hope with everyone he met. He participated in a research project at UCSF so future families will not experience this devastating disease. Rick was born in San Francisco to Bruce P. Lee and Barbara L. Lee (Pierce), and raised in Millbrae, California. From the time he was a toddler he was the consummate jokester. In his own inimitable way he was also a leader. He was captain of the safety patrol at his elementary school, and senior class president at Mills High School. He was on the debate team at UCSB, and graduated summa cum laude from Santa Clara Law School in 1977. He returned to Santa Barbara as an associate at Schramm & Raddue where he later became a senior partner. He was married to Barbara Conway from 1976 to 1990 and they had three wonderful children: Allison, Andrea and Adam. In 1993 he married Diana Jessup and together they adopted Diana's foster daughter Lorraine Monroy. Rick loved being a father and grandfather. He also loved being a lawyer and helping people. When Schramm & Raddue dissolved, he opened his own office where he enjoyed representing a wide variety of clients. In 2007 he joined Reicker, Pfau, Pyle & McRoy LLP where he practiced until his medical retirement in 2010. He had a passion for correcting injustices, whether the cause was worth millions of dollars or none at all. Rick held leadership roles in many civic organizations, including Legal Aid, Santa Barbara County Bar Association, Alano Club, Barristers' Club, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and Teen Court. Rick was a role model in dealing openly and candidly with the challenges he faced in life. He was proud to have 29 years of sobriety and to have survived prostate cancer. Rick had amazing stamina and always strove to see the best in people. His commitment to enjoying life and helping others will live on in the many people he mentored and loved. One of the greatest gifts Rick received in his last year was the loving care of his son-in-law Nathan who was his full time caregiver. Rick is survived by his wife Diana; his children Allison in San Francisco, Andrea (Nathan) Ridgell in Santa Barbara, Adam in San Francisco, and Lorraine (Marcus) Haynes in Las Vegas; his brother Steve in Santa Barbara; his sister Janet in Lincoln; his grandchildren Kaden and Kashton Ridgell, Anthony, Monique and Chauntal Monroy, and Brooklynn Haynes; and his aunt and cousins in the Sanfillipo family. His parents and sister Joanne predeceased him. A memorial celebration of Rick's life will be held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 4575 Auhay Drive, Santa Barbara on Sunday, January 15 at 2:00. Donations in honor of Rick can be made to the Alano Club or Unity Shoppe (or any organization that betters the lives of others).

Is it better to repair or get a new air conditioning installation? This is one of the most common customer questions. With an older unit, the choice is very often spending a few hundred dollars for a repair, with no guarantee something else won't go wrong, or spending thousands on something new. The choice is not that much different from when your car starts to fail.
First, it is best to consider the air conditioner's age. Angie's List recommends using what they call "The 5,000 Rule." Start with the price of the repair and multiply it by the age of the unit. It the number exceeds 5,000 then go with a new air conditioning installation. For example, a $350 repair on a 15-year-old unit produces 5,250. This unit needs a replacement.
We must also consider energy efficiency. The new air conditioning units are 40 percent more efficient than the ones from just 10 years ago. A professional air conditioning service person can evaluate your unit's energy consumption. However, between the average lifespan and efficiency, 15 years is the typical recommendation for a new air conditioning installation.
Then, when you decide to buy new, which is the best? Consumer Reports states, "If you're upgrading your central air, don't assume you should buy the same-sized system. Any changes you've made to improve your home's energy efficiency, such as upgrading your windows or adding insulation, can reduce your cooling needs. On the other hand, if you've added rooms, you might need more cooling." A reputable air conditioning installer can answer these questions for you.
J.R. Perkins Heating & Cooling, an HVAC company that services the Phoenix AZ area including Scottsdale, has been a family owned and operated business since 1960. We treat our customers like family.
JR Perkins is the first heating and air conditioning company in the East Valley. To learn more please visit our website at www.JRPerkins.com or call (480) 422-4437.
