The World Health Organization said it was a "crucial development".
"This breakthrough is a serious game changer and will drive the prevention revolution forward. It makes HIV treatment a new priority prevention option," said Michel Sidibe, executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAIDS).
But he warned that it would cost more than ten billion dollars to provide drugs to the ten million people worldwide who are currently not receiving medication for HIV.
The World Health Organization says sexual transmission accounts for 80% of all new HIV infections. Its director general, Dr Margaret Chan, described the announcement as a "crucial development"
She added: "The findings from this study will further strengthen and support the new guidance that WHO is releasing in July to help people living with HIV protect their partners."
Keith Alcorn, from the NAM, an HIV/AIDS charity, said: "This study resoundingly confirms what lots of smaller studies have been telling us for several years.
"International donors cannot ignore the evidence any longer: HIV treatment is a very powerful form of HIV prevention, and could have a major effect on the HIV epidemic in the worst-affected countries.
"What we need now is a renewed commitment to HIV treatment, and studies to show how to get the maximum benefit out of this breakthrough at country level."

The Candy Kitchen of Iowa sees sweet transition to new owners
Lynn and Brenda Ochiltree honor over 100 years of history by taking over The Candy Kitchen.
Greg Forbes Siegman
Over the last 110 years, presidents have come and gone, the economy has ebbed and flowed, and inventions have revolutionized entire industries. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: The Candy Kitchen in Wilton, Iowa has served as a gathering place for generations of people in search of candy, conversation and a sense of community.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the building actually has been standing since the 1800s. In its early days, it housed a variety of entities including a confectionery, a clothing store and a post office. Finally, in 1910, a permanent tenant came along. Gus Nopoulos purchased the property, added some equipment, and gave the location a name. The Candy Kitchen — a confectionery / soda fountain / ice cream parlor — was officially open for business.

"I Dont Wanna Exercise..." Vancouver Spine Care Centre Says, "Exercise, Vancouver!"
Are you weary of being advised to carry out exercises for your lower back pain or neck pain by your Vancouver chiropractor? Absolutely! Quite a few of our Vancouver back pain and neck pain patients are. It's almost natural to ignore the need to do our spine exercises so that we can watch TV, clean the house, have some fun with friends, etc. ANYTHING BUT HAVING TO DO THOSE CRAZY BACK EXERCISES - TOO BORING!!! Well, you know what Vancouver Spine Care Centre would tell you ("Do them!"), but what do the reports say about getting them done?
Let's start by looking at the of lower back pain suffering and it existing as a worldwide health problem touching up to 80% of adult population. Then, you'll see that essential care must be furnished to all of us in Vancouver and around the world to obstruct back pain as well as treat it. Vancouver Spine Care Centre's chiropractic services and exercises are imperative to deal with it physically while back school demonstrates effectiveness for people with chronic non-specific low back pain in managing the psychological factors that are often associated in its development and maintenance.
"Progressive Dynamic Spine Stabilization Exercise Protocols", when performed in the thoracic spine (the middle spine from the mid-shoulder area to the lower back), trigger improved postural stability which were designed for different spinal segments.
Treatment Group participated to an intensive, multidisciplinary Back School program.
Control Group received medical assistance.
Significant improvements in terms of quality of life, disability and pain were reported in the treatment group patients.
As you, the low back pain sufferer or friend or family of one, know: back pain may be disheartening. Therefore, Vancouver Spine Care Centre understands the importance of teaching the lower back pain patient to avoid back pain triggers and encourages a beneficial home exercise program to correct the postural stability of the patient.
Pain relief is our goal. But Vancouver Spine Care Centre strives to treat the whole patient with a combined approach of our non-surgical treatment with Cox Technic and patient education to alleviate low back pain and its other side-effects.
So, contact Vancouver Spine Care Centre to implement this healing art of chiropractic care now.

Statements and Press
Interview with Fergal Anderson of Talamh Beo
1. Ireland has one of the least diverse landscapes in Europe. How did Ireland become so lacking in landscape diversity?
Like everywhere else, Ireland's landscape has been shaped by political and social forces through its history. I've always said that Ireland has a very unique land history in Europe. Ireland was a colony in a Europe of empires - and was treated just as colonies were treated in other parts of the world; ruling forces prioritised extraction of raw materials and resources - be they agricultural, mineral, petrochemical, even labour or whatever. We also had a land reform which has no equivalent in any other European country. So even though we're geographically in Europe, our land history is radically different.
That extractive system was supported by the land ownership model; the huge landowners, many of them absentees, whose only interest was maximising value. The first barrier to maximising value was that there were simply too many people on the land - the Irish famine (s) provided a great opportunity for landowners to depopulate the countryside through mass starvation/emigration and replace people with sheep and cattle.
Unfortunately we can't just blame the mistakes of the past - since independence there have been a lot of missed opportunities to develop a real indignous farming system which incorporates the best aspects of our climate and the potential of farming communities to build long term livelihoods from the production of food, fuel and fibre for use and processing here. Instead the focus has always been on a continuation of the old extractivist model - maximising production and selling milk or beef wholesale at the expense of all else. Maximising production will always mean the wild areas are pushed to the edges and there is less and less space for diversity.
Farmers have lost more and more power in this system and many find themselves in a very weak bargaining position. They have also been locked into a production system which serves agribusinesses rather than the community or Irish citizens. At the same time, this history has left us with a very skewed understanding of our role in the landscape and in the natural world. In Ireland for a long time the land has only been used for base survival or maximum exploitation for profit. It's partly the fault of our history that we haven't seen a third way, one where we nurture the landscape and develop and embrace diversity. For us in Talamh Beo that's what we're trying to do - show that there is another way, and that in spite of all our history there are still lots of farmers doing great work who understand and embrace that.
2. What needs to be done to rebuild our landscape and ecological diversity?
We need to move away from the obsession with production. That's not straightforward - the agricultural system and agribusiness lobbies are deeply integrated into the Irish state and have been since its formation. At the same time it should be said that we still have a lot of small to medium sized farms, which is largely thanks to successful lobbying and agitation from farmers unions over the years. Unfortunately many of those unions are also locked into that productivist mindset and are missing a real opportunity to transition Irish farms and communities into a new model. They don't seem to be responding to the needs of most of their members, and are failing to see where the potential lies - which is in an agro ecological transition in food and farming.
The only way we can shift the strategy - and reshape the landscape and ecological diversity is by engaging citizens to think critically about our food systems, and show that we all have the right to have access to high quality food, that we all have the right to swim in rivers and lakes that are not polluted, that the landscape belongs to future generations and is not ours to exploit in the present.
We need to make food a social justice issue, and ensure that people living in cities are engaged in the debate about why the Irish state is failing to provide them with high quality, locally produced agroecological food which is grown/raised/picked/baked/slaughtered/made by farmers in fair conditions working for a good wage.
An agroecological transition would take years, and would include programmes for access to land for new entrants, new institutional criteria, income supports and training for local producers, expansion of organic production systems and programmes, retraining, diversification and restructuring of deeply indebted farms for example, and a long term investment strategy for diversification in areas where Ireland could be adding value - wool, hardwoods, hemp, energy production etc which can be produced on farms across the country.
3. Talamh Beo campaigns for Ireland to aim for food sovereignty. What does food sovereignty mean and what could it be like? What do we need to do to start moving in that direction?
Food Sovereignty is our right to define our own food and agricultural systems. It's one of the most powerful and subversive ideas to come in generations - we need to recognise that the idea of food sovereignty comes out of peasant culture and is a response to neo-liberalism and the globalisation of capitalism - and in particular its impact on peasants - people who up until now have been disregarded in history. Now they are offering us a way out - a new way of looking at how we interact with the land and our environment and the food we produce to put into our bodies...questions so fundamental and important that they have been in the hands of states, private industries and other powers for a long, long time. The old saying is that civilization is only three meals deep; well imagine if suddenly citizens took it upon themselves to control and democratise our food production - we are really taking control of the basis of our civilisation. The basic needs; food, shelter, community - they need to be the focus. How can we challenge corporate power when so many of our basic needs are met by systems beyond our control? Food is an entry point to understanding what we are locked into, Food Sovereignty is the key to getting us out.
What would it look like? Well for citizens it would mean good quality, healthy, affordable food produced as locally as possible, and an end to the scandals that accompany the industrial food model. It would mean food production and consumption being understood as key to societal and environmental health - using farming systems which regenerate ecosystems and producing highly nutritious food to feed our population. It would also mean a change in the landscape - the bucolic ideal of the grassy field with the fat cow in the middle which has been peddled to us for years by the likes of Bord Bia and agribusinesses instead would shift to a diverse landscape of agroforestry, fibre crops, small scale horticulture and native diverse grasslands feeding our cattle. It would mean a new forestry model which focuses on native woodland establishment and establishment of old growth forests.
In order to move in that direction, the first thing we need to do is start planning on a new time scale - we need to start planning, changing and transitioning our society for where it needs to be in 50 years time. That's difficult in today's world where everything needs to be instantaneous and everyone is looking for an easy fix. We need to build a new culture around our food and agricultural systems and around our land use. It will take time. In the short term we need young people to get involved in the political debate around agriculture. We need to listen to and support the work of progressive farmers. And we need to bring together the different actors - environmental groups, citizens organisations, farmers, social justice groups - and build the Food Sovereignty movement here.
4. Talamh Beo has spoken about the need for a social movement to achieve the landscape diversity and sustainability changes that are needed, what would that social movement be like?
We set up Talamh Beo because there was a gap in the discussions - many farmers felt they were not being heard. The debates were going in circles without questioning the overall model. We think Talamh Beo can open up the political space for a broader discussion, and can help citizens begin to engage in systems which also affect them. Firstly though, we want Talamh Beo to represent farmers who are doing things on the ground - producing food for their communities, farming with nature, who are challenging the preconceived notions of how we manage the land and how farming should work. We think we should be able to make a living from producing food for people, not for global agribusiness corporations. Some of our work should also be ensuring that we restore our degraded ecosystems. That's in all our interests.
We need to find the resources to help organise ourselves, and build the organisation. We know it will take time but we are used to things taking time because nature takes time and we are patient. We know that we are stronger together and we want to see how we can work with other groups to amplify the voices for change, to show that there are other ways of doing things, to help educate and articulate the alternatives.
5. Talamh Beo marked International Day of Peasant Struggle in April. What is the importance to Talamh Beo of connecting with international struggles and movements?
Talamh Beo is the only Irish member of La Via Campesina, the world's largest social movement. La Via Campesina is made up of farming and peasant organisations all over the world who are united in their defense of peasant culture and struggle for Food Sovereignty. For us it's hugely important to link with groups in other countries to remind us that we're not ploughing a lonely furrow and that there are other people out there on the land in every country working for similar goals.
We are not the only place where there are problems with the democractic functioning of our food and agricultural systems - it's an issue almost everywhere, and almost everywhere there are citizens and farmers coming together and working for change. They're talking about Food Sovereignty, about climate change, about solidarity, about sustainable livelihoods, agroecology, regenerative farming. The same discussions we are starting to have here in Ireland. And there are great examples where they have brought about real change. That's what we want to see here in Ireland.

TIME TO SOW THE SEEDS OF A NEW "NORMALITY"
Talamh Beo Press Statement: 17th April, International Day of Peasant Struggle
¬ Opportunity to transform our food and agriculture systems
¬ Develop local food systems, regenerative farming and agroecology in Ireland
¬ Farming and citizen movement to build engagement on food and agriculture issues
The 17th of April is the International Day of Peasant Struggle, and across the world farmers and peasants continue their vital work in feeding people and communities. At the same time as much as half the world's population finds their lives transformed as the seemingly unstoppable rush of capitalist growth rumbles to a halt, and nature has time to catch breath.
The threat of an impending collapse in biodiversity and ecosystems could not achieve this pause, nor the threat of climate change, nor wars, nor the myriad of daily deaths from preventable diseases or indeed starvation that occur on our planet daily.
For the first time in living memory the economy has been put in second place behind peoples' lives – Covid 19 does not differentiate between us. All of a sudden we are remembering that we are all the same, and in our consumer society understanding again the real value of our basic needs. At the same time inequality is more visible than ever, as some suffer more hardship while others relax in luxury.
There are many lessons to be learned from what we see happening now, and many more to be learned from what the future brings. We, as farmers and citizens of Talamh Beo, can only say our piece and point to how we see in this moment of great trauma and transformation a remarkable opportunity to take a deep breath and emerge with the capacity to shape something better.
The most important lesson we have learned so far is that the greatest lie of all; "that's just the way things are" now lies in tatters. That means that if we want local, agroecological food production, everyone on this island eating food grown and raised in dignity and with care for the planet, if we want to restore degraded ecosystems and regenerate habitats, farms and communities, if we want to be able to drink from every river and stream on the island, hear the song of birds in the fields that have not been heard in many years, watch native woodlands replace spruce plantations, we can. The better world we dreamed was possible is in fact possible.
We have heard much talk of a return to "normality" when the crisis abates - we do not want to return to "normality". "Normality" is a heavily subsidized food system increasingly controlled by transnational corporations, which fails to provide local nutritious food for the majority of the population as it damages our environment and eradicates vulnerable ecosystems, all the while failing to ensure fair incomes for the most important people in that chain, the farmers themselves.
"Normality" is an Irish food and agriculture system run by a cabal of vested interests, whose only aim is profit at the expense of the land and people's health. No government since independence and precious few of the current political parties acknowledge or are willing to challenge this control. "Normality" is an endless busy rush, where more and more time is spent fulfilling our basic needs and less time for the land, people and community. That is not a normality we wish to return to.
We want to create a new "normality" for our food and farming systems here in Ireland, a new paradigm for land use. We know that we can create land use systems that are biodiverse and centred on their ecosystems that allow farmers to work in dignity while regenerating our land, people and communities through the production of food, fuel and fibre. We have received a clear global message from nature herself – she needs more space.
That space is also in our minds. We need to recognize that the rhythms of our society were far out of sync with the rhythms of nature. We need to work with nature and nurture the environment through a completely different economic and social engagement with it. Human beings have the capacity to have a hugely positive impact on their environment and the natural world if they are given the time and space to do so. This is visible on many farms around Ireland that are living examples of how we can farm with nature using agriculture and ecology together.
At the same time Ireland imports food to provide for our own population – fruit, vegetables, nuts and grains that could be grown here if we developed diversified farm economies and more resilient, local and community organised food systems. These diversified farms provide more spaces for nature to flourish, and for more rural livelihoods to be built.
Diversity exists not just above ground but below it – the health of the soil will be reflected in the health of our communities and society, more important now than ever.
We need a new generation of farmers and people to return to the land – to move to the countryside and start to put their hands on the land, in the soil, and participate in the revival of the living world. We need this new generation to be helped by an older generation who sees the land emptying around them, and rows of sitka spruce or giant cattle sheds and dairy farms replacing their neighbours and friends.
The only way we can make change happen is by building a citizen led social movement which can create a counterweight to the vested interests and corporations which will also use this moment of change and crisis to consolidate their position, and ensure we tilt the balance of power towards a better future, and not a dystopian one.
¬ We need develop a strong organisation – we are Talamh Beo, farmers and citizens and we are calling on you to join us – become a member for only 30 euros a year and work with us to build a new food, agriculture, forestry, farming and land use system here in Ireland and around the world based on Food Sovereignty.
¬ We need to develop a multi-stakeholder platform between farming organizations, environmental groups and citizens, with the right to food and Food Sovereignty at the centre, in order to hold the government to account and demand change.
¬ We need to demand engagement from our government and politicians – Where are the policies to directly support local food systems in Ireland? Where are the supports for organic farming, for biodiversity enhancement? Why does every citizen not have access to the best quality, locally produced food available? Why do many farmers struggle to make a living even as their jobs are touted as vital and essential?
A farming revolution could help farmers, consumers and environment, says new grassroots organisation
Talamh Beo to launch with 'Soil in the City' demonstration outside Dept of Agriculture, 12:30-2:30pm, Wednesday, October 16th
A revolution in Irish agriculture could result in farmers earning a decent living, producing affordable, nutritious food for people in Ireland and also protecting the environment against the looming climate and biodiversity crises. That's according to Talamh Beo, a new grassroots farming organisation that will launch later this month.
Talamh Beo – an alliance of farmers, growers and landworkers – will hold its launch outside the Department of Agriculture in Dublin on October 16th. Members of Talamh Beo will bring buckets of valuable soil from their farms around Ireland to demonstrate their commitment to caring for the land, their communities and the environment.
The launch will coincide with an 'Open Policy Debate' on the future of Irish farming at the Aviva stadium, hosted by Agriculture Minister Michael Creed, which Talamh Beo members will also attend.
The organisation says it wants to bring a new narrative to the debate about food and farming. Fergal Anderson, a Galway fruit and vegetable farmer and a founding member of Talamh Beo, said: "Farmers have become locked in a system where they are producing commodities for global markets instead of food, fuel and fibre for their communities. They have very little power in this system and have lost almost all their autonomy and links with their localities. We do not have a diverse, integrated production system in Ireland – we have a monoculture of grass, huge fertiliser and feed imports and an almost exclusive focus on the export market".
Tipperary dairy farmer Mimi Crawford added: "We're building a farmer-led organisation which shows the real alternatives on offer in terms of production, distribution and ecological farming and land use – where farmers earn a livelihood, people get high quality nutritious food and the ecosystems we depend on are regenerated and restored."
The group will be bringing buckets of soil from around the country to show and share – building soil is the basis of good farming, and a priority for Talamh Beo members.
Many members are already engaged in biological farming, organics, agro-ecological production, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, direct sales and marketing and other production systems that offer an alternative to the status quo. They want to bring those alternatives into the mainstream – and are looking for policies from government which support local food production and distribution as well as regenerative, organic and agroecological land use systems.
"We have so many solutions to offer for land use – in practice, on our farms. We need to make some of these examples the norm, and bring about a huge change in how people approach and think about land use and food production in Ireland" says Fergal Smith from Moyhill Farm in County Clare.
Talamh Beo wants people to think about the big picture, about "Food Sovereignty" – how decisions are made, where Ireland's agricultural economy fits into global markets, how we can use the land around us to meet more of our direct needs and how we can build a more resilient, fair and long-term model for how we use the land in Ireland.
Talamh Beo has joined the international movement of peasant farmers La Via Campesina, becoming Ireland's only member through its European branch, the European Coordination Via Campesina (www.eurovia.org). This will give the group representation in consultative groups of the EU Commission and network opportunities with other European farmers groups with similar goals. Talamh Beo was partly inspired by the success of the Landworkers' Alliance in the UK.
Talamh Beo has timed its launch with the call for action from Good Food Good Farming, a European network of organisations working for a "fair, healthy and green" Common Agricultural Policy.
Time for a new perspective on the debate over climate change, food and agriculture in Ireland
Not the what, but the how and who for
The last six months have seen huge shifts in the discussions in Ireland about climate change and what kind of solutions we need in order to resolve the increasingly obvious problems with our agriculture systems.
The reality is Ireland's agricultural sector is responsible for high levels of emissions. The Department of Agriculture have defended this with the argument that Irish production is more efficient, that our grass based systems gives us an advantage over other areas and that we should continue to produce here as overall that will be better for the climate, in a global context.
Unfortunately, there are major issues with this argument and it is high time it was dismantled. Firstly, the pros or cons of a farming model cannot solely be measured in their carbon footprint. This is part of the picture but in Ireland farmers are part of rural communities, are caretakers of the natural world and so have a huge social, economic and environmental role – this cannot be reduced to numbers and figures on a page.
Yes, we must recognize that there are plenty of negative impacts in Ireland of the push to increase production – this model has eroded biodiversity as habitats have been reduced, including wildflower meadows, hedgerows and scrub. The use of energy intensive synthetic fertilizers has caused nitrate pollution in rivers and streams, and prevented measures to stimulate long-term soil fertility building. Agriculture is increasingly mechanized, using larger machines with high fuel requirements. Ireland has many more animals to feed than it can support – hence we import more than 80,000 tonnes of animal feeds a week to supplement our "grass-based" system. The last irony is the huge pressure it places on farmers who work hard and then sell their product at cost price or below, dealing with high debts and increasing input costs. Smaller farms and more marginal lands feel this most keenly, but the problems are everywhere. There is little here to attract new entrants. With the government's Foodwise 2025 plan, farm sizes will increase, pressure on the environment and input costs will continue to increase, and rural areas will suffer.
The next place we see impacts of our model here is further afield – where the inputs are produced. Animal feeds provide a good example. Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina are more commonly associated with threats to the beef sector but they are also producers of genetically-modified soya, one of the mainstays in many feed mixes. GM soya is grown in enormous monocultures, many thousands of hectares in size, is often sprayed form the air with Glyphospahate (as GM soya is "Roundup-ready" or Glyphosphate resistant) to eliminate weed competition. Soya plantations have displaced communities, polluted watercourses and caused huge problems for local areas. Local producers have sold up and moved on or found themselves trapped between enormous fields of crops on all sides being sprayed and harvested by huge machines. The same model – and rural areas suffer.
The last place that we see the impacts of Ireland's production model are in the countries where our products arrive. If you're selling your product to a big agri-corporation, you don't really know where it's going to end up. The same way that Irish farmers fear an influx of Brazilian Beef, imagine how farmers in Burkina Faso or Ghana fear an influx of dried milk powder. Dairy companies from Europe export into Western African markets and undercut producers there. Local farmers cannot compete. Those farmers are forced to abandon their production and often their land and move to cities where they may find themselves living in poverty. The diverse agricultural systems that support rural communities in those countries collapse, and again, land is often turned over to monoculture plantations or other productions. Once again – rural areas suffer.
We cannot look at our farming in isolation. If you supply a global market, you need to take responsibility for all aspects and impacts of the supply chain. We have made our farming model dependent on the suffering of rural communities in other parts of the world. We have exported much of the energy use and environmental impact to far off places, where they cannot be seen. But in our global world, people can also share their stories, and those stories can no longer be ignored.
What we urgently need is a new model of production here in Ireland. Undoubtedly animals are part of our agriculture – they have been for thousands of years. The question is not whether we produce beef or dairy – but how, and who for. These two questions are closely linked.
If Ireland is truly producing sustainably, it is reducing the level of inputs, increasing animal welfare – and producing less, but to an even higher standard. The easiest way to do this is for the entire island to convert to agroecological production principles over the next five to ten years. Eliminate synthetic fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides, use only feeds grown in Ireland. This would require an unprecedented mobilization by government, farming groups and in particular semi-state organisations like Teagasc. Ireland could position itself as a global brand for unparalleled quality in Beef and Dairy production, a truly grass-fed model – quality over quantity. This quality should also be extended to the domestic market so that the best food we have is eaten by the people who live here – by the farmers who farm it and the population of this island, not expensive delis in London and New York. There is huge growth in organic markets and Ireland is also well placed to take advantage of that growth.
In parallel, we should be eliminating the dependence on imports for all produce we can grow here – onions, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, apples – staggering quantities are imported annually and this needs to change. We need to rebuild the domestic economy, local production and small-scale distribution. This means new opportunities for farmers to diversify production and develop direct sales. More diversity in production means more biodiversity too as multiple production types compliment each other on-farm. Providing our entire population with fresh, locally produced food would have huge potential knock on benefits in terms of community health and wellbeing. Again, Ireland can become a leader in showing how agriculture can contribute positively as opposed to negatively to climate change, while repairing damaged communities and stimulating the rural economy.
There is no doubt that climate change will transform our lives in the next 50 years, in ways we do not yet recognize or understand. We can lead the way in making changes that can positively contribute to an ecological civilization, which is the only way in which humans will be able to continue to live happily on our planet. The slogan "Think Global. Act Local" is almost twenty years old, but it has never been more appropriate to apply than today, when in the face of all the evidence, the government continues to keep our ship facing the wind, sails flapping, even as the storm approaches. It's time to turn it around.

Econoline Crush: The big picture
Edson Leader
More from Edson Leader
Published on: July 22, 2016 | Last Updated: July 22, 2016 8:24 AM EDT
A stage can be a platform in more ways than one.
When Canadian rockers Econoline Crush decided to hit the road for their first tour in over a year they've kept two things in mind: prepare for their first album since 2008 and using the platform they've been given to embrace life, the good and the bad.
Headlining this year's Kin Slo-Pitch Tournament on July 31 at The Hanger, lead singer Trevor Hurst said the crowd should expect a high-energy rock show because that's just what they do. The show will be the last stop on the band's mini-tour through Alberta, which they are using to prepare for their fall tour and the recording of a new full-length album.
Hurst admitted that the band has changed a lot since their first album Affliction, that was released in 1996.
"When we started we were pretty dark," he said. "Now there's sort of a seeping sense of optimism that we can eek this thing out where the world doesn't seem so gross and ugly when we're done with it."
With the world being such a frightening place this day and age, with so much going on politically, Hurst feels that rock 'n' roll music in and of itself can do good, and will do good, to help people either be distracted, informed, or inspired.
While the focus of every show is to have fun, Hurst feels an obligation as an artist with a platform to try and use it to bring the world together.
"Let's just have a really good time because life is short. Let's just enjoy ourselves," he said.
"We have a job as artists to reflect on the world we see in front of us. To encourage change or to encourage human beings to be better."
Hurst thinks that the world lost its bearings in the world of music. Living in the days of pop music where artists and writers have been putting three-word hooks together that are good enough to sell a million copies. He believes that this day and age music lovers crave more.
He spoke about Drake's latest album, Views. While he admits he isn't a huge fan, he respects what he does and the fans that want to listen to an entire record because it captures this moment in time.
"It gives them a really big picture," he explained. "[It's] what's happening right now, and that's important. It will be a way to reflect on this for years to come."
That's the mind set for the band looking ahead to the production of their new album. While the process is on ongoing, Hurst says the direction is being finalized as the band has strong feelings of what the album should encapsulate. He explained that those in the music industry have told them that albums just aren't recorded any more, and that it's all about singles and extended plays, they say "don't go in there and do an album".
"Our whole career has been spent doing whatever everybody, tells us not to, so why stop now. So we're gonna go in and make a record."
The album won't go by the traditional concept of having a single. He explains it as a "concept record" that will tell a story from the first track to the last.
Hurst sees this small tour as the launching pad for the record. A small run to set up for the fall and to "get the machine moving". Especially with so much time off, he admits that this small run will help the band find out what they need to work on going forward and how they want to present their shows.
"You have to do this," he expressed. "Getting a bunch of gigs in to try things out and feel what works and what doesn't."
Together since 1992, the band knows their strengths and weaknesses. But with band members being spread across Manitoba, B.C., and Alberta, this small run and spending time together on the road gives them the opportunity of uninterrupted thought process.
"As a band, you know what you're dealing with. It's always about capturing the moment with a record, capturing the moment in the world in general and our world in particular," he explained.
"We have to spend this time together to understand where we're at to make that really authentic."
With their show at The Hanger, Hurst and Econoline Crush look forward to a lot of celebration and forgiveness, as summer shows often are more laid back than others.
"People are in a better mood," he laughed. "[It's] a great time to take a band out and work out the kinks."
Econoline Crush takes the stage July 31 at The Hangar as part of the 37th annual Kin Slo-Pitch Tournament. Wrist bands are available Friday and Saturday for $15 and Sunday for $10. Wrist bands are good for the entire weekend.

110 days. Boone County White corn dates back to 1874 from a mane named James Riley in Boone County, Indiana.
It is a very heavy producer of huge ears that measure 9-11" in length.
Uniform ears have 18-22 rows.
Heavily leaved, which is great for shading out understory weeds.
Boone County white is a diverse corn that is used for silage, stock feed and cornmeal.


Ron Paul has given us a huge opportunity. With your help, we intend to take full advantage of it.

Jasmine was an invaluable tutor for Helena College's TRiO Program for over two years. She not only helped students using her editing talent, but she also taught them a strong base of English grammar rules for use with their future writing assignments. Jasmine went above and beyond general tutoring by generating several power point presentations for various writing workshops for the TRiO program. It is rare to find someone as talented and personable as Jasmine. She has a unique ability to explain English concepts to students that bring them clamoring back again and again. Jasmine is a truly gifted educator and it was my privilege to work with her.
Jasmine introduced me to fiction writing in a class that covered the mechanics of a good story. She is so well-organized and clear about the components of telling, showing and creating a scene that it takes readers on a fantasy ride they can't resist. I couldn't resist the challenge, and I now can begin to combine the aspects of story-telling to keep my audience's attention. After the class finished, she met with me on an individual basis to read my work and guide me in my creative endeavor. She is a gem to have for a teacher and mentor, always providing positive suggestions.
Creative writing is a process of exposing one's vulnerabilities for group review. An instructor can make the experience rewarding and beneficial or can shut down any exploration of creativity. I've had both types of instructor. Jasmine Lamb is one of the best. She is able to meet the students where they are and build from there. Her class was very enjoyable, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve his or her written communications.
As an aspiring writer, lacking basic skills and having never had formal training, I was stuck. With my confidence lacking, and having no idea what I was doing when it came to writing fiction, I signed up for one of Jasmine's classes. Her approach to teaching writing is straightforward, and it works. Through her instruction, I gained the tools and the encouragement to actually do something I have aspired to for most of my adult life.
Jasmine did a thoughtful, thorough job editing my book chapter-by-chapter. I had paid top dollar to an editor from the East Coast who promised she would edit my book and provide a blueprint with very specific details as to how to structure my book. All I received back was a paragraph of suggestions which was not at all worth the money. With Jasmine, you know your money will be well spent. Jasmine provided a comprehensive review of my book's structure and content at one third of the cost. She provided both positive feedback and constructive criticism in a way that was easy to digest. If you want to take your story to the next level, I would highly recommend her for your project.
Jasmine is an asset to the serious writer. Her ability to see through the chaff to the core of the story and to inspire the writer to construct and execute essential elements for success are uncanny. Time with Jasmine is crucial for any writer who is ready to move his or her art to the next level, and my time spent with her changed my writing output from sporadic fits and starts to completing cohesive, developed drafts.
Jasmine is an excellent writing instructor, and students were extremely pleased with their results after working with her. In my opinion, the most telling evidence of her ability was the fact that students were so motivated to work with her, they would adjust their schedules and priorities in order to meet with her for instruction. Her reputation was such that having her on staff was a recruiting tool for the Student Support Service program. Word-of-mouth of her excellence in instruction among the college student body helped the program grow and was instrumental in the establishment of the program. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a college level writing tutor.
Jasmine is everything I could want in a member of my publishing team. She is professional, efficient, and meticulous. I can't imagine getting through this process without her knowledge and encouragement. I am extremely satisfied with her services and give her my highest recommendation.
Jasmine Lamb is an innovative tutor who worked well with my three boys as they moved through their high school and middle school writing classes, and she made accommodations for their different writing styles. Jasmine tutored my boys remotely, utilizing email and tracked changes in Microsoft Word. She clearly has a great depth of knowledge, and she was able to help each of my sons to find his voice. Jasmine is positive, encouraging, and direct, and I recommend her as a writing tutor whether a person wishes to meet with her face-to-face or remotely.

TU the right choice for Venezuelan Hector Hernandez Sansone
Petroleum engineering senior Hector Hernandez Sansone began learning English as an elementary school student in Caracas, Venezuela, but his experience at a summer camp in Florida at the age of 9 elevated him to native-like fluency.
"I made a lot of silly mistakes in the beginning," Sansone says. "But not being afraid to make those mistakes is what made me learn."
Sansone did not attend an international high school, but his early foundation in the English language prepared him well for an American university. He chose TU because of the strong petroleum engineering program, close-knit campus, student-to-faculty ratio and responsive international admissions team.
Once Sansone arrived on campus, he knew he had made the right choice. He quickly met friends, found his professors warm and welcoming, and developed a connection to the community. He describes Tulsa as small enough to stay focused on your studies without getting derailed but also large enough to find a variety of entertainment options. Sansone spends his leisure time exercising, going to concerts, watching movies or hanging out with friends.
Sansone also credits his involvement in Kappa Sigma fraternity for his quick adjustment to campus. He originally had no intention of joining, but at the urging of a friend he went to a meeting, had dinner and met many of the members. He joined shortly after and says this has helped him keep a strong GPA while participating in community service and developing his social and networking skills.
Aside from his full-time studies and involvement in Kappa Sigma, Sansone has sought out valuable work experiences on campus. He has worked in the Collins Fitness Center and as a University Ambassador, giving tours to prospective students and their families.
"It is such a rewarding experience," Sansone says, "especially when I see a prospective student who took my tour end up coming to TU."
Sansone's latest accomplishment is receiving a scholarship to join the Golden Hurricane Spirit Squad. He reluctantly tried out after encouragement from a friend and was quickly accepted by the welcoming and encouraging members of the squad. He said it reinforced his perception of TU as a family.
When asked what advice he would give incoming students, Sansone responded, "Keep an open mind, have balance, stay motivated and think about where you want to go so you can reverse engineer your goals."

Tom Steyer denies buying his way into Democrat presidential debate
FILE – Democratic presidential candidate businessman Tom Steyer waves before a Democratic presidential primary debate in Los Angeles, Calif. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson, File)
UPDATED 7:48 AM PT — Monday, January 13, 2020
Democrat presidential candidate Tom Steyer is claiming he made the cut for Tuesday's debates because of his messaging and not the millions of dollars he's spent on ads. During an interview Sunday, the billionaire businessman defended his qualifications by calling himself a "grassroots person" who frequently visits states across the country.
The upcoming debate is expected to be the smallest yet after the Democrat National Committee (DNC) raised its qualification thresholds once again. This comes as Steyer has spent $106 million in advertising, especially in early-voting states like Nevada and Southern Carolina.
.@TomSteyer is surging in the early states because when he campaigns, he listens. His experience has taught him that the way to find solutions is through collaboration, engagement, and compassion. He will make climate his #1 priority and take on corporate greed. Don't miss this! https://t.co/yFgcAyn0r4
— Alberto Lammers (@albertorlammers) January 10, 2020
"I can take on Mr. Trump on the economy in a way that nobody else can because I built a business from scratch, and I understand job creation and prosperity and growth as well as economic justice," stated the 2020 Democrat contender. "I think this is all about — do you have a message that's differential and important and do people trust you to actually carry out what you're saying?"
Fellow White House hopefuls who did not make the debate cutoff have slammed the DNC, including Sen. Cory Booker. He has claimed the committee has systematically paved the way for a billionaire to buy his way onto the stage.

Portland's Farm-to-Table Restaurant Quaintrelle Hires Ryley Eckersley as Chef
Chef Ryley Eckersley has taken over the stoves at Quaintrelle in Portland, Oregona, as Bill Wallender steps away from the restaurant he opened in June of 2016.
Ready to take some personal time, Wallender says, "I'd like to thank everyone who's given me an opportunity to be such a big part of Quaintrelle – from the suppliers to the staff to our loyal diners. I'm excited for the future of the restaurant and wish everyone well involved moving forward!" Likewise, Quaintrelle co-owners Emily Everett, Sandi and Dan Wilkens expressed their best wishes for Wallender.
Born in London, Eckersley has been working in restaurants around the globe since the age of thirteen. He often decamped to his family's vacation home in the south of France where he would commune with chefs at many of the village restaurants, absorbing all he could about working with of-the-moment ingredients in postage-stamp sized kitchens.
Quaintrelle
"My love of cooking really came as a by-product of travelling to other countries and exploring different cultures," he says. "I come from a family of six, and we've all managed to spread ourselves around the world, so I've been fortunate to be able to travel and really immerse myself wherever I've landed."
Thanks to his lifelong wanderlust, Eckersley has worked at restaurants around the world, from Belize to Barcelona to Raleigh, N.C. to Manhattan. He landed in Oregon in 2011, where he led the kitchen at Jen's Garden in Sisters, Ore., and later opened Drake restaurant in Bend, Ore. In 2013. Eager to explore more of the Pacific Northwest's bounty, he moved to Portland in 2015 where he briefly served as sous chef at Olympia Provisions, and eventually was hired as head chef at DOC, where he remained until 2017.
"Ryley has a real affinity for Oregon's farm-fresh ingredients. We were pleasantly surprised that he had been using many of the same suppliers at DOC that Quaintrelle has been using from the start," says Everett. "Our menu is always evolving with whatever the farmers bring in, and it's clear that he is comfortable working in that ever-changing creative zone. We're very excited about this next chapter with him."

Bethlem's Boardroom: Part Three
The chairs are dining chairs, which were made in about 1816, during the Regency period. The wooden parts are made of mahogany and stained and varnisheda, and the chairs are 860 mm high. There is one so-called elbow chair, which is at what one assumes is the head of the table. They are described as having moulded broad cresting with "tablet" panels to the horizontal rails, and they have turned and ringed legs. They are almost certainly the "twenty-six Mahogany Chairs with Leather Bottoms and Brass Beads" which, with two elbow chairs, first appeared in the 1816 inventory.
The figure standing in the corner may be Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred James Copeland, F.S.A., who was Treasurer of the Hospital from 1885 to 1896, and again from 1900 to 1920. He was also one of the historians of Bridewell and Bethlem. One of his chosen tasks had been to extract from the Hospital Court Minutes from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, matters of continuing value and interest.
Lieutenant-Colonel Copeland retired following a period of ill health in 1996. During his tenure he wrote many articles for the quarterly magazine 'Under the Dome,' which was edited by the Reverend O'Donoghue, the Hospital Chaplain, between 1892 and 1930, and which contained historical articles, news items about the doings of hospital staff and patients, and other items of general interest especially during the periods of the Boer War and the First World War. Lieutenant-Colonel Copeland came into the Hospital on Wednesdays. One of his especial concerns was the happiness of the Hospital's patients.
After Lieutenant-Colonel Copeland retired as Treasurer in 1895, another Treasurer was appointed. He resigned in 1900 and (now entitled Colonel) Copeland resumed the role.
In June, 1901, Colonel Copeland lent to the Hospital two drawings of the
King Edward Schools. In December, 1902, Mrs. Copeland donated to the Hospital a portrait of her husband, which had been painted by H. T. Schafer. In 1903 and again in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1913, Colonel Copeland donated books to the Hospital Library.
At Christmas, 1910, Colonel Copeland presented the Hospital with 'a magnificent present of hares and pheasants' which had 'fallen to his own gun on some of the Bethlem Estates in Lincolnshire, and were sufficient to keep the Hospital for one day.' (Quotation from 'Under the Dome.')
On the other hand, the figure in the corner could be the hall porter, William Gare, who was photographed in about 1910, wearing ceremonial robes and holding the porter's staff with chased silver head, which was made in 1682. Mr Gare worked for the Hospital from 1876 until 1912, when he retired because of ill health. His robes and the porter's staff continued to be used on Founder's Days until the early 1980s.

Police Officer Acquitted of Philando Castile Killing
A Minnesota police officer was acquitted of manslaughter on Friday for the fatal shooting of Philando Castile, a black motorist whose girlfriend streamed the aftermath live on Facebook.
Jeronimo Yanez was also cleared of two lesser charges related to the July traffic stop in a St. Paul suburb. Jurors deliberated for about 29 hours over five days before reaching the verdict in the death of Castile, 32, who was shot just seconds after informing Yanez that he was carrying a gun.
Yanez, who is Latino, testified that Castile was pulling his gun out of his pocket despite his commands not to do so. The defence also argued Castile was high on marijuana and said that affected his actions.
Castile had a permit for the weapon, and prosecutors questioned whether Yanez ever saw it. They argued that the officer overreacted and that Castile was not a threat.
Castile's shooting was among a string of killings of black people by police around the US, and the livestreaming of its aftermath by Castile's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, attracted even more attention.
The public outcry included protests in Minnesota that shut down highways and surrounded the governor's mansion. Castile's family claimed he was profiled because of his race, and the shooting renewed concerns about how police officers interact with minorities.
Minnesota Democratic Governor Mark Dayton also weighed in, saying he did not think the shooting would have happened if Castile had been white.
Castile's family reacted angrily to the verdict. His mother, Valerie Castile, said the police officer got away with "murder".
His mother said she is "very disappointed in the system here in the state of Minnesota".
Yanez was charged with second-degree manslaughter, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, though sentencing guidelines suggest around four years is more likely. He also faced two lesser counts of endangering Castile's girlfriend and her then 4-year-old daughter for firing his gun into the car near them.
The jury began deliberations on Monday, after just five days of testimony, evidence and arguments. Two of the 12-member jury were black. The rest were white.

Swiss split over Arafat's legacy
A member of Arafat's Presidential Guard weeps in Gaza City Keystone
While Palestinians in the West Bank mourn their leader, elsewhere in the world news of the death of Yasser Arafat has prompted a very mixed response.
This content was published on November 11, 2004 - 15:13 November 11, 2004 - 15:13
Within Switzerland, reactions have ranged from sadness to anger, from relief to hopefulness.
Ahmed Benani, the Swiss-Moroccan president of the International Observatory for Palestinian Affairs, says that Arafat's death is a sad event, but that politicians everywhere have used it for their own purposes.
"Arafat died at a time that suited the godfathers in Washington and Tel Aviv, and when their Arab valets led by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak were ready to bury him," Benani wrote in a statement.
"I feel sorry for the old fighter, I feel sorry for the Palestinians," he added. "I cannot hold back my tears of revolt and sadness."
"It's a loss for those fighting for the rights of the Palestinians," lamented Peter Leuenberger of the Switzerland-Palestine Association.
"Yasser Arafat had spent his life defending the Palestinian cause."
But Thomas Lyssy, spokesman for the Swiss Federation of Jewish communities, says that few people will miss Arafat.
"Most of our 18,000 members in Switzerland have always considered Arafat to be a terrorist," he said. "His fortune helped contribute to terrorist actions against the state of Israel."
Lyssy told swissinfo he was hopeful the Palestinian leader's death would give peace a chance in the Middle East. "We hope his successors will be wise enough to take the opportunity to relaunch the peace process."
Pierre Hazan, one of the initiators of the "Movement for a just peace in the Middle East", says that the Palestinians are now facing a major challenge.
"They will have to prove they can be united, which is not a given at this time," he told swissinfo.
Hazan, whose association was set up by Jews and Arabs living in Switzerland, says the Israeli authorities may also be feeling a sense of loss.
"They considered Arafat to be a military leader, who gave them a good reason not to seek peace," he added.
Whether Arafat's death will make any difference in the Occupied Territories is open to debate, according to Swiss Middle East specialist Arnold Hottinger.
"Arafat has been sidelined for a long time, and really it all depends on [Israeli prime minister Ariel] Sharon," he told swissinfo.
"I'm afraid that Sharon will take this occasion to divide the Palestinians even more. And it's very easy for them [the Israelis] to do because they have all the levers of power."
The analyst says that the Israeli factor is not the only one coming into play with Arafat's death. He warns there could be a split within the Palestinian ranks.
"I'm not sure we will get one leader [of the Palestinians] – maybe it will be several," he added, pointing out that this could be the scenario favoured by the Israelis.
"It is not in the interest of Sharon to have one leader. He wants several ghettos, each with its own leader."
Yasser Arafat was born on August 24, 1929 in Cairo.
He was leader of the Palestinian Authority from 1993 and president from 1996.
He chaired the Palestine Liberation Organization from 1969 and led Fatah, the largest of the factions within the PLO.
In 1994, he was co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize with Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and foreign minister Shimon Peres.

If you work in the construction industry in St. Paul, your working conditions as well as the tools of your trade serve as constant reminders that yours is one of the most dangerous occupations in America. There are many different scenarios that you may encounter on the job site that could put you and others in jeopardy.

Despite being listed among the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's "Fatal Four," crush accidents and their causes are still largely under-researched and unanticpated by employers.

What occupational diseases does workers' compensation cover?
On behalf of Mark Fellman of Fellman Law Office posted in blog on Tuesday, August 15, 2017.
Most Minnesota workers know workers' compensation covers them for any injuries they sustain in workplace accidents. But they may not be aware that workers' compensation also covers occupational diseases. In many workplaces, illnesses are just as common as accidents. Exposure to certain chemicals and toxins may not lead to sickness right away. Sometimes it can take years after exposure for some occupational diseases to develop.

Workers who apply for workers' compensation benefits in Minnesota may need to go through an Independent Medical Examination. It is true that not all applicants receive a notice to attend an IME. Those with relatively small and straightforward claims have a greater likelihood of a quick approval.

Asbestos and the construction industry
On behalf of Mark Fellman of Fellman Law Office posted in Occupational Diseases on Thursday, August 3, 2017.
Because asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that resists heat and electricity, it would seem to be an excellent substance for use in buildings. The Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry notes that while this was initially thought to be true, scientists discovered that exposure to the fibers can be fatal.

Red Sox   - 000 004 000 - 4  7  2
White Sox - 010 000 000 - 1  7  0
Drew Pomeranz (7-7-1-0-8, 108) turned in another solid start and the Red Sox rallied against one of the White Sox's best relievers to win, moving to 2 GB the Yankees, who were pounded by the Orioles 10-4.
The Red Sox stranded two men on base in each of the third and fourth innings, before breaking through in the sixth against reliever Anthony Swarzak. (White Sox starter Mike Pelfrey did well (5-2-0-2-5, 83). Looking at his stat line, you'd think he could have pitched another inning. However, he had faced 19 batters and opponents have batted .556 with a 1.849 OPS against him (21 PA) the third time through the order this year.)
Swarzak began the season with 19.2 scoreless innings and had allowed runs in only one of his 19 appearances. Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland singled with one out. Jackie Bradley was intentionally walked to load the bases. Josh Rutledge grounded to shortstop, but the White Sox could get only the force at second, and Bogaerts scored. Pablo Sandoval singled in Moreland to give Boston the lead. Christian Vazquez followed with a two-run double.
Pomeranz got into and out of trouble in the bottom of the sixth. Todd Frazier and Avisail Garcia began the inning with singles. Pomeranz got Matt Davidson to pop to shortstop and got Tim Anderson to strike out. Kevan Smith grounded back to Pomeranz and he threw to third to force Frazier for the third out.
Chicago did not get anyone on base in the final three innings. Pomeranz wrapped up his night with a perfect seventh, Matt Barnes needed only eight pitches to retire three batters in the eighth, and Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth (he started each batter off 0-2).
Sandoval made his first start since April 23 and went 3-for-4 as the DH.

I am surprised to learn that the Red Sox bullpen has thrown only 150.2 innings. That's the second-fewest innings in the American League and third-fewest in MLB. Boston's bullpen ERA of 3.17 is fifth among all major league teams.
After this game, the Red Sox head to Baltimore for four games against the slumping Orioles. Over its past 18 games, Baltimore has gone 4-14. Since May 10, its rotation has a 6.10 ERA and a 1.82 WHIP, both of which are easily the worst in the American League.
In MFY Land: Yankees Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost has "admitted the Yankees want to keep the riff raff away from the wealthy people who spend the big bucks". He said the swells are often "frustrated" when they have to sit next to some working class yob. Well, Trost's strategy is working. Ticket sales are way down and the team has lost about $166 million since 2010.
Andrew said...
I was surprised by the number of innings thrown by the bullpen too. There are good starters but so far, the rotation has the 14th best team-starter WHIP in baseball. I have no idea how they are by inning and leaving them in may be justified often. But I can't help but think critics of Farrell's slow hook may be more right than I realized.
Right handed batters are now 0-for-45 versus Kimbrel this season

Milan tower block goes up in flames
MILAN – Fire ripped through a 20-storey residential building here in northern Italy yesterday, leaving rescue workers scrambling to make sure no one had been caught in the spectacular flames and thick smoke.
The blaze started on the upper floors of the tower on the southern outskirts of the capital of the Lombardy region.
"The flames then spread to the lower levels," causing thick smoke, the fire services said on Twitter.
Residents of the building that houses around 70 families were being contacted but no one had so far been identified as missing, it added.
"The firemen are going from apartment to apartment, knocking down doors to make sure no one remains inside," Milan mayor Giuseppe Sala told the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
"But we are optimistic because people had time to get out," he added.
The daily said about 20 residents suffered slight smoke inhalation.
Dozens of ambulances and fire engines were at the scene. – AFP, August 30, 2021

Socorro is all about amazing interaction with our favourite giant mantas. No other mantas in the world behave like this. We don't know why but we LOVE it!! And the mantas clearly love us back. Aside from the usual interaction with mantas, dolphins and 10 kinds of sharks, 1200 humpback whales migrate down from Alaska at this time of year to mate and breed. You will see loads of whales on the surface and you will hear them singing when you are in the water. Most incredible of all is the opportunity to snorkel with the whales and sometimes even see them during a dive. Please note that cooler waters and humpback whales go hand-in-hand and you can expect water temps 73 - 74 degrees.
238 identified great white sharks and counting. Imagine descending to 30 feet and going face-to-face with our big toothy friends in beautiful blue water with typical visibility of 125 + feet. July and August is the best time to see large numbers of rowdy male sharks - we have seen up to 9 sharks at one time! The opportunity for diving is virtually unlimited between between our submersible, suspended and surface cages.

Twins Steve, front, and Greg Malone, began their careers as dispatchers at the Cheltenham Police Department.

Cheltenham Police Department twin sergeants say goodbye
By Linda Finarelli
lfinarelli@montgomerynews.com
Growing up in Jenkintown, Steve Malone didn't like dressing like his identical twin, Greg.
"Mom dressed us alike; it was horrible," Steve recalled last week. "There was a point in grade school [Immaculate Conception] when I protested. It was bad enough people calling me the wrong name all the time."
A couple years after graduating from Jenkintown High School, though, Steve chose to adopt the same uniform as Greg and spend the next 36 years working at the same place — the Cheltenham Township Police Department.
Starting as dispatchers in the radio room — Greg in 1973 and Steve in 1975 — while working part-time as police officers in Rockledge Borough, the two marked May 31 as their last day as Cheltenham police sergeants.
"We had an uncle who was a police officer in Jenkintown," Steve said. "I really always wanted to do that."
Both were in the first class of the Municipal Police Academy, initially established at Temple University Ambler, and moved from dispatch to become Cheltenham police officers in 1980. Eventually their paths within the department diverged.
"We were both on patrol for a while," though never on the same squad, Steve said. "We both made corporal and patrol supervisor and then we kind of branched off."
Steve started the community policing unit on the force in the mid-1990s, was promoted to sergeant in 2000 and in 2002 moved up to take charge of the detective unit, from which he is retiring.
Greg went from patrol to the highway safety unit tactical squad. After making corporal, he went back on patrol, supervising a squad, and when promoted to sergeant was put in charge of running the communications center and maintaining the police vehicles.
About seven years ago he became administrative staff sergeant of the division that works with the budget, "making sure we spend the money allocated [$9 million for the department] in a manner beneficial to the police department, the township and the taxpayers," Greg said.
The brothers often went to lunch together and it was not unusual to see each other every day, but it wasn't a given.
"My office is around the corner from his, but a lot of times we didn't see each other," Greg said. "The facets of my job have me doing other things [than Steve does]."
Outside of work, the two do have some common interests — both like fishing and NASCAR — but different ones as well.
"I've had season tickets to the Eagles for 32 years, but very rarely would [Greg] go to a game," Steve said. "He can lounge on the beach all day; me a couple of hours. I like to play golf; he never picked up a golf club."
"I'm a Ham radio operator; he has no interest in that," Greg added.
The Malones also have two sisters and a younger brother, and both agreed that twins do have a special bond.
"You can tell when something's not right," Steve said. "It's weird, but sometimes you just have a feeling."
"You can't explain it," Greg said. "It's just something that's there, not all the time, just sometimes."
They didn't try to fool people with their identical looks much, though there was one instance at the station where they had a veteran desk sergeant fooled for more than an hour, Steve said.
"We didn't have to try," he said. "It was easy."
Both view the end of their police careers with mixed feelings.
"We pretty much came on together; we're definitely leaving together," Steve said.
"It's going to be strange," he added. "I love coming to work every day. It's something I really love to do and it will be hard walking away from it.
"I suppose there's another life after Cheltenham … we'll find out."
"It's another family," Greg said. "You're leaving a part of you behind. I'm going to miss a lot of people."
Both plan to take the summer off before looking for something to do afterward, and while they won't be seeing each other daily anymore, "we'll go to lunch together, still," Greg said.
Referring to a retirement party scheduled for last Saturday, Greg said, "The two people we'd want there the most won't be there" — their father and Steve's wife, who passed away within weeks of each other near the December holidays.
And in a seeming tribute to their professional and personal lives, he said, "We have to move on."

Theodore Harold White, né le  à Dorchester (Boston) et mort le  à New York, est un journaliste politique et historien américain.

Biographie

Theodore H. White commence sa carrière en tant que reporter pour le Time Magazine depuis la Chine, alors en plein conflit. Il rend compte de la famine du Henan qui tue en 1942-1943 environ 3 millions de Chinois. Il est le premier à mettre en exergue les manquements du régime nationaliste chinois, notamment dans son livre Thunder Out of China (co-écrit avec Annalee Jacoby). Il quitte le Time Magazine pour devenir correspondant européen pour l'Overseas News Agency (1948–50) et pour The Reporter (1950–53). Ses positions sur la Chine lui ont valu un certain discrédit pendant plusieurs années, notamment lors de la période du Maccarthysme, où il sera accusé de "sympathie communiste". En 2012, l'acteur Adrien Brody interprète le rôle du journaliste dans le film Back to 1942, réalisé par Feng Xiaogang.

Il obtient le prix Pulitzer en 1962 pour The Making of the President, 1960 (La Victoire de Kennedy ou Comment on fait un Président). Ce livre analyse l'élection présidentielle de 1960 au cours de laquelle John F. Kennedy fut élu président des États-Unis. À la suite de ce succès, Theodore H. White a rédigé d'autres livres sur les élections présidentielles américaines de 1964, 1968 et 1972. Cette série de livres a changé la manière de faire du journalisme politique : pour la première fois, l'accent est mis sur la personnalité, l'incarnation. Plus tard, Theodore H. White regrettera d'ailleurs ce changement.

Most scientific progress is slowed down by "unknown unknowns". Root cause analysis can result in weeks or months of down time. The power of AI and Machine Learning lies in its ability to find patterns to help predict outcomes, identify hidden relationships, and classify systems to amplify human intuition, the foundation of good science.
A biotech company was experiencing inexplicable results from their pilot production runs in preparation for scale up. Whilst they checked everything they could, they still couldn't find the root cause, resulting in weeks of schedule slippage. They had installed our Elements to continuously collect data from many of their instruments as well as their facility's environment, so the algorithms were able to help them zero-in on the root cause by analyzing their experimental results together with all of their Element sensor data streams. The root cause? Their HVAC system was having an impact on their formulation steps that was propagating downstream to production stages. By having access to continuous data from other parts of their facility, the algorithms were able to extract the (hidden) relationship from an upstream process that was affecting the yields downstream.
