Bust a myth during Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition at MOSI in Tampa
by Banks Lee March 3, 2014
written by Banks Lee March 3, 2014
Uncover truths behind popular myths at MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition, now open at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa. This is the exhibit's only stop in Florida.
The exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experiences for guests of all ages by combining scientific facts with family-friendly displays. In MythBusters, co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara take scientific investigation to new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly experimental approach and extensive backgrounds in special effects.
Savage and Hyneman were heavily involved throughout the development of the exhibition to ensure guests experience a true MythBusting encounter. "It's exciting to see fans take on some of our favorite experiments from the show while drawing their own conclusions and data," said Savage. "Although they are tackling the same myths and questions, each guest can have a unique experience within the exhibit."
"We hope people have fun at the exhibit and get a sense of what it is like doing the show." added Hyneman.
Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition with Kari Byron at MOSI
MOSI's guests will learn about myths, the MythBusters and what experimenting is all about by participating in a series of hands-on experiences and live demonstrations. Experiments cover topics such as flight, friction, gravity, speed and combustion.
The exhibition showcases:
Blueprint Room – Based on the real-life operations room of the MythBusters' iconic set, this room acts as an introduction to MythBusting and is filled with gadgets, props, video and, of course, blueprints used by the hosts to explore myths on the show.
Workshop – This is the place where guests turn into investigators and use real science to test myths. Guests discover whether they get more wet running versus walking in the rain and find out if toast really does always land buttered-side down.
Live MythBusters Demonstration Stage – Here guests have the opportunity to view and participate in live science demonstrations that dissect myths with the help of a team of energetic MythBusting facilitators.
"The Mythbusters exhibition exemplifies the message that MOSI has been saying all along – learning and fun should mean the same thing," said Wit Ostrenko, president of MOSI. "We are excited about the variety of ways this exhibition will encourage people of all ages to be more interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math."
The exhibition will be on display at MOSI through Thursday, May 8, 2014. Museum hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now, and reservations are highly recommended. Tickets can be purchased by calling 813-987-6000 or visiting mosi.org.

Niall Horan is a loser this week due to his ex-girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld and her cryptic Instagrams.
Hailee, perhaps innocently, reposted a message to her Instagram story that said 'New Years Resolution: No more dating narcissists'.
Considering Hailee was recently confirmed to be in a relationship with Niall, we could only jump to the conclusion that she meant him.
She has since denied it had anything to do with Niall, but we can't imagine he thinks the same.
Ellen is a loser this week because of her pandering to Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart is obviously the real loser here, but it's too obvious.
If you want more detail, head on over here, but Ellen, please, I'm rootin' for you.
Barry from the Block is one of two Irish actors who made the BAFTA EE Rising Star shortlist.
Kerry's Jessie Buckley is also on the list, and both are extremely well deserved.
We'll have to wait until February to see who the winner will be.
SJP spent her New Years Eve in Donegal, and it looked unreal. She and her husband Matthew Broderick have a holiday home in the county, and they spend most summers there.
Sarah Jessica said the place is remote but beautiful, a place where wifi often eludes us but 2019 will not. She could really be any place in the country so.
Pete is a winner this week for speaking out about Louis CK's new comedy.
The SNL comedian was performing stand up when he brought up the topic of the shamed comedian.
He spoke about how Louis CK warned SNL that Pete would end up smoking his career to the ground.
But of course, it turned out to be Louis that would ruin his career in the end. Oh, life.

Borsellino's Last Glance: 20 Years Later, We Know Anti-Mafia Hero Was Marked Man
Manfredi Borsellino still has many questions about how his father, anti-mob magistrate Paolo Borsellino, was allowed to die just three months after his colleague, and fellow crusading hero Giovanni Falcone had been killed. Now you can see it in his eyes.
The last known photo of Borsellino alive
Laura Anello
LA STAMPA Geopolitics Sources LA STAMPA Italy Countries
PALERMO - The picture dates to July 6, 1992, a Monday evening, when the countdown has already begun. The Italian anti-Mafia magistrate Paolo Borsellino, portrayed in the snapshot, looks like he can almost hear the ticking away of his final hours. In Palermo, the rumors had silently turned into certainty. Everyone whispers, and everyone knows that he is the latest dead man walking: the Mafia's next target.
The photograph was taken in the magistrate's house, in Villagrazia di Carini, a small town only few miles away from Palermo, during a quiet evening spent among friends. It was one of the last attempts at a normal existence, which for Borsellino had ended for good 44 day earlier, when his colleague and close friend, the magistrate Giovanni Falcone, had been killed by the Mafia in a huge blast along the motorway heading into Palermo, close to the town of Capaci.
And 13 days after this picture was taken, Borsellino, 52, was killed too, in another mammoth car-bomb blast, in a parking lot in Via D'Amelio, in the Sicilian capital. Today, 20 years later, Borsellino's son Manfredi shows the last picture taken of his father alive. Afterwords, the only images would be those showing a sheet covering his corpse.
In the final family photograph, a family friend sits between the magistrate and his wife, who hints at a smile. But Borsellino cannot seem to smile anymore, no peaceful moments remain. A sunken face, a cigarette in his lips, an anguished expression, he looks towards the camera with an almost absent expression.
Those days, the magistrate was feverishly writing his memoirs in a red agenda, which later disappeared. Those days, he was fighting against his boss, the attorney general Pietro Giammanco who had cut him out from the most important investigations and the management of the informants. Those days, according to the latest discoveries of a new investigation, Borsellino had gained knowledge of a negotiation between the State and the Mafia to stop the terrorist attacks. He saw it as a repugnant pact.
Good faith?
The previous investigation on Borsellino's death were reopened based on lingering suspicions that members of the Italian intelligence services might have played a role into the plot which lead to his assassination. Manfredi Borsellino calls the first investigation and trial "a joke."
The red herring of the investigations was proved, says Borsellino's son. "I want to believe that everyone has always been in good faith, and simply misled by the false results of the investigations," he says.
But the doubts, the investigations are all part of what came after. In this picture there is the pain before the epilogue, when the end is already written. On Sunday, July 19, after a last swim, Borsellino left the house in Villagrazia di Carini to go to his mother's house in Via D'Amelio, to bring her to an appointment with her cardiologist.
The doctor was supposed to visit her at home, but the previous day, mobsters had set fire to his car. When Borsellino arrived in Via D'Amelio, 100 kilograms of Trinitrotoluene in a Fiat 126 car exploded, ripping a crater in the street and shaking the surrounding buildings. Together with Borsellino, five agents of his round-the-clock police escort were also killed. The 24-year-old Emanuela Loi had just come back from her vacation in her hometown of Cagliari, Sardinia. Walter Cosina was a huge man from the north Italy city of Trieste, which he had voluntarily left to fight the crimes on the frontline in Palermo. Claudio Traina was on his first day of service with Borsellino. Fabio Lu Muli had asked his sister to remind him the words of the prayer Ave Maria, just a few days before.
Today, some people speak about martyrdom. Manfredi Borsellino smiles bitterly. "The last thing he wanted was to make a widow of his wife and orphans of his three still young children. But he knew that it could have happen. Instead, he really wanted his family and his escort not to be involved in an attempt on his life. He succeeded with the former, but sadly not with the latter," he said.

Germany's Legendary Clubbing Culture Crashes Museum Space
The exhibition "Electro" in Düsseldorf is an unlikely tribute to a joyful and uninhibited club culture, with curators forced to contend with limits of a museum setting ... and another COVID lockdown.

DÜSSELDORF — The last party at the Berghain nightclub in Berlin lasted from Saturday evening until Monday morning. On the first weekend of December, some clubbers lined up for nine hours outside the former power plant – and still didn't make it past the doormen. A friend said that dancing in the most famous techno club in the world on its last evening was like landing a spot in the last lifeboat to leave the sinking Titanic on 14 April 1912.
It is surely a coincidence that the first comprehensive exhibition charting the 100-year history of electronic music in Germany opened in the same week that nightclubs across the country were forced to close. It wasn't planned that way, but it's like opening an exhibition about the cultural history of alcohol the day after the introduction of prohibition.
Since the start of the pandemic, wild parties have been a rarity, drinking has been done behind closed doors and spontaneity has been consigned to the history books. It has become more and more difficult, and less satisfying, to experience electronic music in its natural habitat. Where before it could be a spur-of-the-moment decision, now it requires careful planning. In order to avoid closures, Berlin's nightclubs offered to make it a requirement for all partygoers to show negative PCR tests – but the city authorities turned them down.
No more anonymity
Maybe it's better that way. The anonymity of nightlife has already been destroyed. In October 120 clubbers who had attended the Berghain's gay sex club Lab.oratory received a message from the Kreuzberg Health Office notifying them that they were close contacts of a COVID-positive person who had also been present. Due to an error by a staff member, the men's (women are not allowed to attend the Lab) email addresses were all visible to the other recipients. A night of partying in supposed anonymity landed them in a data protection nightmare.
Are we witnessing the end of uninhibited nightlife? How long can clubs survive under such extreme pressure? Was everything better in the past? And what exactly do we mean by "everything?" The exhibition "Electro — from Kraftwerk to Techno" at the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf traces the history of a cultural phenomenon that has had a significant impact on our society.
If you can remember it clearly, you probably weren't doing it right
It looks back to the 1920s, to the invention of the electronic Croix Sonore, the ethereophone and the theremin, which is played through hand movements without any physical contact with the instrument, and through the 1930s and the invention of the Trautonium, an early version of a synthesizer.
The bulky, newly installed ventilation ducts and railings and the high-vis jackets worn by workers in the museum courtyard give off the right vibes. People waiting to get into Berlin's clubs queued alongside these kinds of railings and high-vis was a popular outfit choice at raves in the '90s. But of course that is pure coincidence.

A multi-sensory experience
The curators have installed scaffolding inside the museum's blocky architecture. Within the square spaces created, 500 exhibits are presented against a black background with low lighting, synthesizers, photographs, record sleeves, illustrations, artworks, videos and interactive installations. And then there is the constant background noise. Star DJ Laurent Garnier has put together multiple playlists that allow visitors to travel through the major techno cities of the world.
Sometimes this music is distracting, for example when you have to put on headphones to watch videos with soundtracks. It is telling that the curators didn't dare put on a techno exhibit in a silent museum space. Of course they could bring together all available artifacts, but the experience itself is much more difficult to recreate. If you can remember it clearly, you probably weren't doing it right.
But still, they have made a brave effort. The show was created at the Musée de la Musique in Paris then moved to London. The exhibition has been expanded again, and Düsseldorf is a good place for it to finish its run. In the late 1970s, the city was a breeding ground for German punk and New Wave: How could we talk about techno without mentioning D.A.F. (the influential German electropunk band)? As visitors to the exhibition will learn, the first studio in the world dedicated to electronic music was established in Cologne in 1951. In the 1960s, Nam June Paik and Karlheinz Stockhausen made experimental music in the WDR studio.
Perhaps more importantly, in 1970, Kraftwerk (Germany's answer to the Beatles) set up the Kling-Klang-Studio in Düsseldorf. Their signature lifelike android faces stare down at visitors, now and then moving ever so slightly. Then you pass into a sterile-looking room and put on a pair of 3D glasses to watch a video of a VW Beetle and a Mercedes driving on the spotless German motorway: "Drive, drive, drive."

Tech is man's best friend
Ralf Hütter, the only remaining founding member of Kraftwerk, was involved in putting the show together. The band's work embodies what "Electro" seeks to prove: that technology is humankind's best friend. As co-curator Alain Bieber writes in the exhibition catalog, "Out of the rubble of the Second World War, a new science fiction was born, a utopian idea and a futuristic aesthetic, which brought with it the hope of an entirely new culture, a harmonious fusion of man and machine."
It should come as no surprise that this phenomenon was mainly centered on the highly industrialized, innovative Rhineland area of Germany. Lab and club went hand in hand. Kraftwerk used computers to create sounds; they remained cool and distanced – and still managed to work crowds up into a frenzy.
It's easy to preserve a temple, but to live like an ancient Roman? That takes courage.
On the one hand, "Electro" is concerned with the historical and material aspects of electronic music, while on the other it attempts to recreate magical social spaces such as the Paradise Garage or the Hacienda, using flyers, photos, grainy videos and artifacts. Daft Punk's helmets looked more striking in action than they do as relics laid out for inspection. While techno has been described as soulless, it's clear from this exhibition that it has the potential to create highly individual experiences. It is made up of repeated sounds, and yet the unrepeatable performances transform it into something utterly unique.
But without the performance, without the bodies, it doesn't work. While techno clubs were and still are often safe spaces, where people of color and LGBTQI+ people can feel welcome, that doesn't mean they stood for abstention and strictness: in fact, quite the opposite. The artist Philip Topolovac understood that. His enigmatic work "Vedute (Berghain)" shows the exterior of the Kraftwerk building. At the time it was created, the club was still active, but he depicts it as an 18th-century artist would paint an ancient ruin, as a relic of the past. It's easy to preserve a temple, but to live like an ancient Roman? That takes courage.

The Royal Tenenbaums
Posted on April 15, 2013 by An Ordinary Guy
Many people proclaimed director Wes Anderson a genius after 1998's Rushmore. I, however, felt it premature to bestow such a title to a filmmaker with only two films to his name. Now, with The Royal Tenenbaums, I find myself enthusiastically joining the throng. At the risk of sounding like a latecomer to the party: Wes Anderson is fucking brilliant.
The Royal Tenenbaums packs a significantly more emotional punch than Anderson's previous films, but retains the director's darkly askew sense of humor. The story follows a family of geniuses, the Tenenbaums, who have devolved into the model of dysfunctionality. Abandoned by their heartless father, Royal (Gene Hackman), at an early age, the three Tenenbaum children – all former prodigies – now suffer from some serious complexes despite the best efforts of their over-indulgent mother, Ethel (Angelica Huston). Chas (Ben Stiller), a real estate mogul since his early teens, demands nothing less than excellence in his two young sons. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), an award-winning playwright by age nine, lives in a catatonic stupor caused by the constant reminder of her status as an adopted child. Richie (Luke Wilson), a former tennis champion, wanders forlornly around the world in search of happiness. Sadly, their childhood glory has faded; though still young, they're washed up. When luck runs out on their long absent father, he devises a scheme to rejoin the family, resulting in an unexpected – and unwelcome – reunion for the Tenenbaums. And although Royal is somewhat surprised to find he has genuine feelings for his children, his blundering attempt at redemption only serves to underscore his innate selfishness.
Undoubtedly, the most striking aspect of The Royal Tenenbaums is its absolutely perfect styling. In a clever machination, director Anderson has assembled the film as a sort of cinematic novel, complete with chapters and a nifty book jacket. Taking place in a timeless, stylized New York City (instantly recognizable despite fanciful locations like the 375th Street YMCA, the Irving Island Ferry and 22nd Avenue), the movie has the look and feel of a 1970's Kodachrome snapshot. Meticulous attention to detail is apparent in every scene. Still, an underlying naturalism keeps the film from becoming too precious. The drama here may be amusing, but it's truthful, too, thanks to perfectly deadpan performances by the entire cast. Further confirming his prowess as an innovative auteur, Anderson has created a deliciously droll masterpiece, proving himself well deserving of his early critical esteem.

This page is a collection of user submitted information on radio programming cables. If you have corrections or additions to this page, please submit them to me, or ask for edit privileges. I much prefer this information to be user-maintained and contributed! Note: as this is user-submitted content, the recommendations and opinions here are not necessarily shared by Dan and other primary CHiRP contributors.
In some cases, the manufacturer of your radio produces the highest quality cable for programming. However, these are usually the most expensive and are not always the most convenient (because of a lack of USB, etc). The exception to this are the very low cost USB cables that come with many Chinese radios that use a counterfeit Prolific USB to serial chip that has a number of driver problems with recent versions of Microsoft Windows. These cables generally work ok with Linux.
Third party cables are available for most radios with a range of costs and quality. The low cost cables use counterfeit Prolific USB chips. If you use Microsoft Windows, finding the right driver and keeping it working can be quite a chore. Saving $10-15 on a cable might cost you a good bit of time and frustration trying to get it all to work.
Cables that use only a 9-pin serial connection take a lot of guesswork out of the equation. With such a cable, you can choose your own (or try many) USB adapters to get a working setup. In reality, this is a much safer option as you only have to find a solid USB adapter once, and you can use it with many cables. The KeySpan USA-19HS is a very solid USB adapter that has many benefits and is not sold under another name, nor does it use a variety of chips as do many other cables. Anything with a REAL Prolific or FTDI chip should be fine as well.
Avoid USB programming cables that appear to be based on the Prolific PL-2303 USB chip. This is the chip that has been cloned/counterfeited in the Chinese cables. The early clones were fairly unreliable. Because of the counterfeiting, Prolific has taken the step of making their newest drivers attempt to detect the counterfeit chips and refuse to work with them. Recent versions of Microsoft Windows (7 and later) will automatically update to the latest Prolific driver. This can make a cable stop working at some point after it is installed. <br /> Look at the driver instructions for references to PL-2303. Also another clue is that there will be many different drivers listed to try if one doesn't work.
Cables based on the FTDI USB chip are recommended. FTDI makes a high quality USB to serial chip that has a good, working driver built in to many operating systems. The FTDI chip can add $10-15 to the cost of a USB programming cable, but will save time and frustration with driver issues. Look for cables that specifically mention FTDI. Another clue is that the cables are advertised to work with Windows 7 64-bit. Some of the 3rd party cable manufacturers, such as BlueMax49ers and Valley Enterprises, have switched to using only the FTDI chip after having too many problems with the Prolific clones.
RT Systems cables are not recommended for use with CHiRP. While RT Systems sells high quality USB programming cables that are based on the FTDI chip, these cables may or may not work with CHiRP and any other software that except the cable to show up as a generic serial (COM) port. The RT Systems cables use a custom ID. With some work it is possible to get the RT Systems cable to show up as a generic serial devices, see FTDI OEM Cables.
Note: For some radios such as Yaesu, the RT Systems cable and software are sold alongside the radio as if they were made by the manufacturer rather than a 3rd party. A number of ham radio dealers don't make it easy to distinguish that the software and cable are actually from a 3rd party.
If you can't tell what chip the cable uses, look for a different cable.
It is possible to build your own radio programming cable. Most radios use a serial interface for programming, however the voltage levels used varies. RS-232 Serial ports used voltage variations of up to -15Vdc to +15Vdc which was good for older equipment and long cable runs. Modern low voltage electronics tends to use signalling levels of 0-5Vdc, or 0-3.3Vdc. Be sure you know what voltage levels your radio expects before connecting anything. RS-232 voltage levels can damage your radio if it is expecting to see a max of 3.3Vdc or 5Vdc. Older radios with built-in TNCs or those otherwise designed to connect directly to a computer use RS-232 voltages. However these radios are becoming more and more rare. Most modern radios have a low voltage port connected directly to the radio's microcontroller for cloning and memory programming. Research "voltage level converters" for how to convert between the different types of signalling.
USB Serial cables that provide RS-232 ports usually include both a USB to low-voltage serial chip and a level converter. However, bare USB to serial adapters are available that provide 0-5Vdc or 0-3.3Vdc signalling from a number of companies targeted at microcontroller programmming and other do-it-yourself hobby/electronics activities. Building a USB programming cable for your radio can be as easy as selecting the appropriate USB adapter with the right voltage for your radio and soldering on the proper cable.
There is quite a bit of information available on building cables for most radios on the internet. Instructions with schematics can often be found in the mailing lists, Yahoo, Google (or other) Group, forums that are specifically for the users of each radio. Some of the plans have been linked below in the radio specific section.
All (to my knowledge) Alinco radios use a three-pin 1/8" plug with a TTL converter in the 9-pin housing. This is identical to the Icom OPC-478 cable.
The UV-3R uses a Prolific USB-to-serial chip, but users report that in Windows, you must use drivers from http://409shop.com. It works out of the box on Linux.
The PLUS model of the UV-3R uses a Kenwood/Wouxun cable (same as the UV-5R) instead of the original single plug cable used by the UV-3R and UV-3R Mark II. All models (thus far) of the UV-3R use the same software.
The UV-5R is made by TYT, uses a Kenwood/Wouxun cable, and does not use the same protocol as the UV-3R models.
Instructions for building your own OPC-478 / OPC-552 / CI-V cables can be found here: http://highfields-arc.co.uk/constructors/other/opc478.htm Circuits are shown for both an RS-232 version with a level-converter as well as a USB version using an inexpensive USB module.
Nearly all of these radios use an OPC-478 (or similar) cable, which plugs into the speaker jack of the radio. The housing of the 9-pin connector has TTL conversion logic, which can be home-built but it is typically easier to buy one pre-made. Note that some of the mobile D-STAR radios can also use their data connection for programming, which uses RS-232 signalling and requires no conversion hardware. Models that can do this include the IC-2820H, ID-880H, and ID-80.
These radios operate in "live" mode and require a full-duplex RS-232 serial cable connection. For the IC-91AD, the OPC-1529 cable is used (and can be easily built).
The 92AD uses a moisture-proof custom bayonet connection at the top of the radio, which is only available from Icom (OPC-1799) and only with their RS-92 programming software. Note that the OPC-1797 adapter cable will not allow you to use an OPC-478 programming cable with this radio.
The ID-1 is programmed via its integrated USB connection.
For some reason, this radio doesn't use the standard three-conductor plug on the OPC-478. The cable for the Yaesu VX-7 actually works perfectly though.
These radios use a two-pronged cable that plugs into the microphone and speaker jacks simultaneously. Note: many Chinese radios such as the Wouxun, and Baofeng UV-5R use the same two prong cable as these Kenwoods.
These radios use a three-pin 3/32" plug directly wired to an RS-232 port (easily home-built).
This radio uses a regular serial cable (Female-Female) to the 9-pin connector on the front of the radio.
This radio uses a RS-232 cable (officially, PG-5G) directly cabled to a eight-pin Mini-DIN connector marked "PC" on the back of the radio. No level converter is required, so this can be easily home-made with the right connectors.
Note: A number of ham radio dealers sell the RT System's software and alongside the radios. This gives the false impression that the software and cable are from Yaesu rather than a 3rd party which is a bit misleading. Some RT System's cables such will NOT work with CHiRP under Windows or Mac OS without some additional driver or chip configuration. See FTDI OEM Cables. Therefore, RT System's cables aren't recommend for use with CHiRP.
These handhelds use the same type of cable, which is a four-pin TRRS connector and a TTL voltage converter in the 9-pin housing.
NOTE: RT System's cable will NOT work with CHiRP under Windows or Mac OS without some additional driver or chip configuration. See FTDI OEM Cables.
VK4GOL's instructions. Uses FTDI modules to build a serial cable.
The VX-8GR uses a three-conductor 3/32" plug directly to an RS-232 port. This is the same cable that Kenwood APRS radios use for the GPS connection, and almost the same as the Icom OPC-1529 type data cable, except that a null modem adapter must be used to switch the TX and RX pins.
These radios use a 6-pin mini-DIN plug and a TTL converter in the 9-pin housing.
These radios use the Yaesu SCU-35 cable. It is a USB-to-serial cable with a Prolific PL2303 USB-to-serial ship. It is supported by the unmodified drivers USB in Windows and Linux. The cable uses 3.3 V voltage levels and is a two-wire cable, with GND on one wire and TxD and RxD wired together on the other wire. It plugs into the radio's "MIC" jack using a 2.5mm TRS plug.
The KG-UVD1P and KG-UV2D, KG-UV3D, KG-UV6D radios use the same cable as the Kenwood TH-F6A and TH-K2A listed above. The connection consists of a 3.5 mm and a 2.5 mm 3-conductor phone plug (TRS). It is a 5 Volt (TTL) serial interface, with Ground and TXD (fKrom Radio) on the sleeve and ring of the 2.5mm connector. RXD (to radio)is on the sleeve of the 3.5 mm plug.

Johnny Costa
Plays Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
AllMusic Review by Matt Collar
It's easy to take the warm, friendly jazz sound of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for granted, but we shouldn't. For over three decades beginning in 1968, the Pittsburgh-born pianist Johnny Costa served as the acclaimed show's music director, often playing live in-studio while host Fred Rogers sang the theme song and interacted with beloved characters like Mr. McFeely, Lady Elaine, and the Trolley. An urbane, technically gifted jazz stylist in the vein of his own idol Art Tatum, Costa helped define the show's smart but always welcoming tone. Rogers, also a talented jazz pianist and songwriter, championed Costa and together they felt that jazz was the perfect sound to encourage the creativity of the children watching the show. Costa brought that smart, creative vibe to the fore on his 1984 studio album, Plays Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Jazz. The sixth and final release on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Records, the album found Costa playing songs from the show, all composed by Rogers himself, including the iconic opening and closing theme songs "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and "It's Such a Good Feeling." Also compelling are Costa's takes on "You Are Special," "Sometimes People Are Good/Children Can," and "Then Your Heart Is Full of Love." Joining him were his longtime rhythm section bandmates bassist Carl McVicker and drummer Bobby Rawsthorne. Together, they played in a swinging, highly articulated and lively fashion that was the epitome for sophisticated modern acoustic jazz. While the music Costa supplied for Rogers' show was never anything less than hip, it's no less impressive to hear him stretch out on these beloved songs.

FAN'S VIEW: I will be watching but not enjoying Fulham vs Reading. After all, I remember Bristol Rovers and Grimsby Town heartaches
Fulham fan Dave Salisbury looks back at Fulham's play-off woes
Lee Wilmot
Fulham's Ryan Fredericks whips in a cross
Reaching the Division Three play-offs in 1989 was a real achievement. Money was very tight and it had taken all of Ray Lewington's blossoming skill to cobble together a side which not only scored freely, but kept the odd clean sheet too.
The signing of Doug Rougvie, a Scotsman carved from granite itself, had been shrewd business and he 'toughened up' the defence from February onwards.
We faced Bristol Rovers in the first leg of the play-off semi-final, and more than 9,000 were shoe-horned into their temporary home at Twerton Park. It was a scorching day and I remember being squeezed into the open terrace behind the goal. Rovers won 1-0 and their fans invaded the pitch afterwards.
With the very real potential for trouble in those days , most of our players ran for cover but Doug Rougvie strolled over to the Fulham contingent to show his appreciation. No one dared to go near him and he seemed to have a ten-yard exclusion zone around him.
We left Bath with hope in our hearts but it all went pear-shaped in the home leg after Peter Scott was sent off. I can't remember the offending challenge but I recall being none too surprised. Scotty was that kind of player!
At 4-0 down I was heartbroken and left the floodlit Cottage reverberating to the sound of 'Goodnight Irene' from the thousands of Bristol fans who had travelled.
Grimsby Town celebrate play-off success (Image: Getty Images)
The games against Grimsby Town, nine years later, were seen as a huge under-achievement.
A certain Mr Al Fayed had taken control the previous summer and we were the mega-bucks team that everyone wanted to beat.
Ray Wilkins had been relieved of his duties but Kevin Keegan had not yet had time to work his magic. The first game was at home and played in front of 14,000 fans. Small by today's standards, this was the second largest crowd at the Cottage for a dozen years and was an indication of the growing ambition and fan base at Fulham in the late nineties.
With the chairman's wealth we all knew that good times were just around the corner but we received a bloody nose from a well organised Grimsby team. Paul Moody received his marching orders and Grimsby Town hung on for 1-1. A certain Peter Beardsley (yes, in the third tier of English football) scored our penalty.
Denis Odoi insists Fulham's play-off semi final with Reading will be one for the neutrals
The return match overlooking the North Sea was remarkable only insomuch as it is the only time I have been to Cleethorpes and not needed gloves and a scarf!
Fulham fans had travelled in numbers (just how long is the M18?) but yet another sending off meant our chances were slim. The usually mild-mannered Paul Peschisolido received his marching orders fairly early in the game and the writing was on the wall. There was a winner from Grimsby, the usual pitch invasion, jubilation from home fans and utter heartbreak in the away contingent. It all seemed rather familiar.
So no, I'm not a massive fan of the play-offs. Unless you're a neutral, they're agony to watch. Too tense, too hyped, too nervous.
But I'll be there on Saturday alongside more than 20,000 others and I already have my ticket for the Madejski on Tuesday. Will it be the same old story for Fulham? Or will this fresh, exciting team have what it takes to get us to Wembley for the first time in a generation? I'll be watching, but not enjoying, the absolute theatre that is the play-offs.

Crasnick: Voters weigh in on Clemens' Hall chances
12yJerry Crasnick
1dNHL Insiders
Voters offer mixed responses on Clemens' HOF chances
Jerry CrasnickESPN Senior Writer
ESPN.com senior writer
Author of "License to Deal"
Former Denver Post national baseball writer
Until Thursday afternoon, Roger Clemens' legacy was etched in bronze. He was destined to go down as the greatest pitcher of his era -- the greatest ever, in the estimation of many. And he embodied the notion that age 40, for the driven modern-day ballplayer, is indeed the new 30.
If Clemens' 354 career victories, 4,672 strikeouts and seven Cy Young awards were never going to earn him a 100 percent pass to the Hall of Fame, Tom Seaver's all-time high vote total of 98.84 percent wasn't out of the question.
One press conference and 82 mentions in the Mitchell report later, Clemens is in a fight to retrieve his reputation and his place in history.
No player took a bigger hit from former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell's 20-month investigation into the steroids era than Clemens, whose alleged transgressions take up nine pages in the report. The case against Clemens stems from testimony by his former trainer, Brian McNamee, who claims to have personally injected Clemens with steroids during the pitcher's tenure in Toronto and New York.
The Mitchell revelations prompted a quick and angry response from Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, who called McNamee a "troubled'' man and said the allegations were both false and slanderous. When union leader Donald Fehr talked about some players having their reputations tarnished, perhaps forever, Clemens stood as Exhibit A.
Thankfully, there's no need for a snap decision. Even if Clemens has pitched his final game, he'll have to wait five years to be eligible for the Hall of Fame. In a bizarre twist, his name could appear on the ballot alongside that of Barry Bonds, who is fighting a perjury and obstruction of justice charge along with allegations of steroid use, and may never play again.
For the 500-plus voters in the Hall of Fame electorate, it doesn't get any easier. First came Mark McGwire, who fell well short of induction in his first appearance on the ballot last winter. Rafael Palmeiro makes his debut on the ballot in 2011. And after that, it's Bonds and Clemens in tandem.
What lies in store for Clemens? In an effort to gauge the sentiment on the heels of the Mitchell report, ESPN.com e-mailed surveys to more than 150 eligible voters on the subject of the Rocket and the Hall. The first wave of responses reflects an overwhelmed, conflicted and thoroughly divided electorate.
The question: "If the Hall of Fame election were held today, would you vote for Roger Clemens?''
The answers: All across the board.
Of 100 respondents, 37 said they plan to vote for Clemens; 22 put themselves in the "no'' camp; and the largest segment, 41, are currently undecided.
The split reflects the schism among Hall of Fame voters, many of whom have forsaken hard-and-fast positions in the name of keeping an open mind. Mark Purdy, columnist for the San Jose Mercury News, said this is the hardest time in history to be a Hall of Fame voter.
"Every writer I know takes the task seriously, and when I try to process all the information and morality and accusations and evidence through my brain as the ballot sits in front of me, I get a headache,'' Purdy said. "This may come to be known as the steroid era. But for writers who have a Hall of Fame vote, it's the Advil era.''
Clemens already appeared to be Cooperstown-bound when his performance began to slip and he went 40-39 over a four-year span with the Red Sox in the mid-1990s. Former Boston general manager Dan Duquette, once vilified for his observation that Clemens was in the "twilight'' of his career, now looks like a prophet in hindsight.
The same argument applies to Bonds, who had more than 400 homers and 400 stolen bases and ranked on a par with Ken Griffey Jr. as baseball's premier player in the 1990s before allegedly turning to human growth hormone.
Many prominent voters -- including several ESPN writers -- have pronounced themselves uncomfortable with playing detective and trying to guess which players were clean or dirty. So rather than pick and choose based on gut instinct or innuendo, they simply vote based on the numbers.
"The bottom line is that we really don't know who cheated or who didn't cheat, so I have no choice but to put everyone on the same playing field,'' said Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
As others point out, the Hall is filled with players who arrived in Cooperstown carrying some baggage. The list includes alleged Vaseline smearers (Gaylord Perry), ball scuffers (Don Sutton), amphetamine users (Willie Mays) and players with ties to "recreational'' drugs (Ferguson Jenkins, Orlando Cepeda and Paul Molitor, to name three).
San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ray Ratto refuses to draw a distinction between steroid offenders and players with other black marks.
"I would vote for Bonds on the first ballot, as I would vote for Clemens, because the Hall of Fame isn't church,'' Ratto said. "It's the history of baseball, and this is part of the history of baseball. I can assure you that Bud Selig will be voted into the Hall of Fame, and he is the commissioner whose name will be linked with the steroid era by first ignoring it, then profiting from it, and finally blaming others for it.
"I know that Cap Anson is in the Hall of Fame, and he was instrumental in the creation of the color line, which is way worse than PEDs. So this discussion ends up being an excuse for people with no institutional memory or understanding to claim a moral superiority they're not really equipped to display.''
Other voters have determined that they're going to draw a hard-and-fast line at players who were chemically enhanced on the way to piling up their Hall of Fame numbers.
"My feeling is that the Hall of Fame is a reward, not an entitlement,'' said Dan Graziano of the Newark-Star Ledger. "And I don't feel I should reward cheaters. If Clemens cheated in an effort to elevate himself from great to immortal, I don't feel obliged to reward that decision with my vote, no matter how great he was before he cheated.''
This may come to be known as the steroid era. But for writers who have a Hall of Fame vote, it's the Advil era.
--Mark Purdy, San Jose Mercury News columnist
In between those two spectrums, there are dozens of conflicted voters who make their decisions on a case-by-case basis. They're reserving judgment until Jose Canseco's next book comes out, or the next Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center story hits the news wires. It'll be a while before the hyperventilating ceases and some perspective emerges.
Although the Hall of Fame ballot advises voters to consider a player's "integrity, sportsmanship and character'' as well as his accomplishments on the field, that proviso seems inadequate to address the complexity of the situation. So some writers will continue to make up rules on the fly.
"I'm in favor of a separate Rogues Wing which would allow Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson to all get in,'' said Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. "Then we wouldn't have to do any more annual surveys on who belongs.''
In the meantime, pass the ballots -- and the Advil.

FAA Reacts To President Trump's Air Traffic Control Proposal
Tuesday, June 6th 2017, 5:36 PM CDT
By Karl Torp
OKLAHOMA CITY - The President's plan to privatize air traffic control at our nation's airports is being watched closely in Oklahoma City.
2,700 new hire and certified air traffic controllers are training at OKC's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center each year. The 3.5 million square foot facility provides training in the latest aviation technology.
But President Donald Trump feels the technology needs to be better.
"For too many years, our country has tolerated too many delays at the airport, too many wait times on the tarmac," said President Trump Monday.
The White House and supporters point to a process that includes paper strips with aircraft information and the slow roll out of more inefficient digital communication programs.
The President's plan would essentially shift FAA responsibilities to a Private Company. The possible impact on the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center isn't clear.
"While the FAA has made progress to upgrade our nation's air traffic control system, despite certain constraints, I support looking at new ways to help us provide stable and sufficient funding to more rapidly modernize our system while maintaining the highest level of safety," said FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta in a statement.
"The proposal to create a separate, non-government air traffic control service provider is a step in a process that needs to involve all users of the airspace system and deliver benefits to the system as a whole."


Three is the magic number: The MINI Hatch has triumphed for a third consecutive year at the Auto Express Awards.
Alongside its stylish Convertible sibling, the MINI Hatch has reigned supreme at the Auto Express Awards 2016; for the latter, it marked 3 years at the top spot.
The MINI Hatch was named 'Best Premium Small Car' for the third year in a row, with the new MINI Convertible rolling away with the title of 'Best Convertible'. At the forefront of style and quality, the MINI Hatch and MINI Convertible are packed with character; combined with their excellent value for money, it's no wonder that they continue to impress both customers and critics alike.
The MINI 3-door Hatch might be compact, but every inch is optimised with impeccable design and innovative features. MINI Connected allows seamless integration to online services such as Facebook and Twitter, while the illuminated centre console allows for a choice of up to 255 ambient hues.
Personalisation is a theme that runs throughout the MINI range. The MINI 5-door Hatch offers an extra 72mm on the wheelbase, to create a more spacious cabin and boot. The interior colours and wing-mirror caps are all fully customisable, with a choice of engines, too; the Cooper D offers a combined fuel economy of 78.5 mpg and CO2 emissions from 95 gkm, while the Cooper S Hatch can reach 62mph in a goosebump-inducing 6.8 seconds.
Vivacious and versatile, the MINI Convertible was released in March 2016, providing further tailoring to an already vibrant range. The electrical hood mechanism offers open-top enjoyment in just 20 seconds, while the rigid body and low centre of gravity unleash enviable dynamics. The engine is also packed with 90kw (122hp) of power at 6,000 rpm, providing an incredibly fun ride for both driver and passenger.

HRH of Jordan Princess Dina Mired and mother to a cancer survivor, is taking on the role as President of UICC. She's on a mission to ensure those who can't afford it have a fair shot at battling cancer.
"As of now, I have two titles; one is as a Princess and my most important title is mother of a cancer survivor. And both titles have to be put to work to do something good," says Princess Dina at the World Cancer Congress 2018 in Kuala Lumpur.
HRH Princess Dina Mired of Jordan married HRH Prince Mired bin Ra'ad Bin Zeid, a member of the Hashemite dynasty. She has been Director-general of King Hussein Cancer Foundation for the last 16 years. Today she holds the distinction of being the first Arab elected president of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
Such confidence and wisdom stems from Princess Dina exudes confidence and wisdom. She willingly revisits the pain and heartbreak she once felt when her two-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia 21 years ago.
"When we heard the news, of course there was shock, disbelief, fear and worry. I scared that I might lose the most precious that I had, my own child."
"There were a lot of tears you can only imagine. But after you do that for a couple of days, that's when you have to snap out of the sorrow because there's a child you need to help save," says Princess Dina.
After nursing her son back to health, over the years Princess Dina fostered optimism and began her research for quality cancer care in Jordan. Beyond her investments in cancer research, she believed the way to provide better cancer care is through teamwork amongst the government, patients and private sectors.
"When we first started we had to tackle so many elements. It was very overwhelming; we didn't even know where to start. But I always remind myself that even if you save just one life, it is worth it," she adds.
Princess Dina smiles as she shares that her son is doing and feeling much better. Thus, as a proud mother to a cancer survivor, she's out to inspire other cancer patients to never stop fighting.
"My message to anyone who is battling cancer, I would like to say that cancer does not mean the end. Seek great treatment, take care of yourself and follow doctor's orders. Don't shy away to seek support in family and friends to tell them what you need to feel better," says Princess Dina.

Dear Husband, How Long Will You Be With Me?
When Lin Mu Mu wakes up, the first thing she saw was a stranger sitting beside her.
"Mu Mu, you're awake?" Said the stranger, he's a man.
"You…?" Lin Mu Mu looked up confusedly.
"Hello, I am Yun Ting, your husband." The guy's face was serious. He was biting his lips. It can be deduced that he was happy and nervous at the same time.
Yun Ting was a well built guy, with beautiful features, a charming man that no girl could ever resist.
This face of his, as something Mu Mu was extremely familiar with, to the point where she sees it even with her eyes closed. The strange thing was the fresh look on his face, the cleanliness, the look you see on a guy that hasn't been invaded by sadness and depression, it was fresh, it was new.
Mu Mu was confused by what was happening.
It was sort of like he could read her mind, he pulled out a little red book from the pocket of his coat, pointed to a picture in it and showed Mu Mu, and said "This is our marriage contract, got it two days ago, it was approved by your master."
Got it two days ago?
Mu Mu stared at the picture, it contains a man with a really serious looking face, and herself giving the biggest smile she's got. Surprisingly, she did not question anything about what's happening, rather, she asked "Dear Husband, How Long Will You Be With Me?"
"For a lifetime." Yun Ting said.
Mu Mu stayed silent. She took off a necklace she was wearing, her favourite piece of jewellery, and placed it in his hands.
"This is?" He asked.
"A present that symbolise our marriage." Mu Mu said.
She, turned out to be a lot more calmer than he expected her to be, and also more complying than he had expect.
Despite being betrayed by her own master to be mysteriously and forcefully married to guy, she didn't seem sad at all, she even gave him her favourite necklace?
Doesn't this mean, she approved this marriage too?
A tiny trace of relieved can be seen on Yun Ying's straight, serious face.
Mu Mu closed her eyes, trying to hide her excitement.
Thanks to fate, she was able to come back to 10 years ago, when she and Yun Ting just started their relationship, when it hadn't yet become an unhealthy one, the time where both of them weren't covered with scars yet. The happy times.
Moments ago, she was still on the very verge of death.
In her last moments, she witnessed Yun Ting rushing into the fire to reach out to her, saying romantic words she's never heard him saying before.
It was also at that moment, she knew, he loves her, way more than she thought.
Their love life was ruined by a single misunderstanding.
He said that when the got their marriage agreement ten years ago, he had decided that he would not let her go, that she'll be the best decision he's ever made, that he'll love her for his entire lifetime.
Sadly, the only time he confessed, was the time when their lives were ending, how tragic.
Lin Mu Mu said. " Yun Ting, if there's such thing as rebirth, let's be together again."
Yun Ting replied, "Yea, I will be waiting for you on the path to heaven, in the next life. I, Yun Ting, will still marry you, Lin Mu Mu, forever."
That was the deal between them.
Turns out Lin Mu Mu never got to set foot on the path to heaven. Instead, she miraculously came back to 10 years ago.
She's back to the time when she was just 18 and Yun Ting being 22, the time where they just met, the time where their unhealthy and torturous relationship hasn't start yet.
Supposedly, the planning was that Lin Mu Mu would pursue her further studies in the city, but on the way she was sorta kidnapped by Yun Ting and got knocked out of conscious. And when she woke up, Yun Ting just simply stated that they were married, and have got a marriage agreement.
An eighteen year old girl, a girl that was filled with dreams and hope, hoping to go out to the world, work and explore. How can she accept the fact that she was now suddenly tied down to a marriage? But Yun Ting is someone that follows his life principles strongly, which is that Mu Mu is his, no one else can have her.
Since then, Mu Mu's impression of Yun Ting was a total dickhead, and even his insanely good looking face can't cover it – her bad impression of him.
Because of this unhappy beginning to the relationship, Lin Mu Mu always had misunderstandings with him and she had always hated him, and unfortunately Yun Ting was the type of person who doesn't talk much, hence little to none explanation whatsoever was given.
Sometimes, understanding someone really takes up to ten years time.
Meanwhile, as she's back to where she was 10 years ago, she will not let those misunderstandings happen again, she would not allow an unhappy relationship this time.
She knows he loves her, to the point where he gave up his life for her, which was pretty enough.


If I had to choose five designers to wear for the rest of my life Stella McCartney would definitely be one of those designers. If I had to choose one she would also be a very smart choice considering she makes lingerie, shoes and all accessories too. With each collection I drool over her playful prints and patterns, and I live in admiration of her commitment to cruelty free fashion. The current collection once again has me envious of ladies with larger wallets than I, and so instead of buying this magical swallow satin bomber, I draw it, and store it beside my illustrated Balenciaga coat.

Q: How to add plain text code in a webpage? I know it is possible because this website does it, but I tried researching how and just got a bunch of junk, so how do I add tags to a website paragraph without the browser interpreting it as code.
For example, if I have

, I want the div to display in the browser as text not have the browser interpret it as html. Is this complicated to do?
I have been writing tutorials for school, and it would be much easier if I could add the code directly to the webpage in text form instead of images, so students can copy and paste it.

A: There are many ways to use:

*

*Replace < with <
`<h1>This is heading </small></h1>`

*Place the code inside </xmp><xmp> tags
<xmp>

Coffee

Tea

</xmp>

I do not recommend other ways because they do not work on all browsers like <plaintext> or <listing>.

A: You want to look into something called HTML Entities.
If you want the < character to appear on a website, for example, you can write this HTML code: <. These are the five basic HTML Entities and their source code equivalents:
< <
> >
" "
' '
& &

If you are using a programming language (such as PHP or ASP.NET), then there is probably a built-in command that will do the conversion for you (htmlspecialchars() and Server.HtmlEncode, respectively).

A: Use the tag
 before a block of reformatted text and
 after.
The text between these tags is rendered as monospaced characters with line breaks and spaces at the same points as in the original file. This may be helpful for rendering poetry without adding a lot of HTML code. Try this:

Mary had a little lamb.
    Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went
    the lamb was sure to go.

A: To add plain text code in a webpage, HTML Character Escaping is needed on five characters:

< as <> as >& as &' as '" as "
(OR)
<xmp> tag may also be used as an alternate, this tag disturbs the style and is obsolete.
<xmp>Code with HTML Tags like
 etc. </xmp>

A: Look at how this website itself achieves this:

For example, if I have <p><div></div></p>, I want the div to display in the browser as text not have the browser interpret it as html. Is this complicated to do?

You need to replace the < and > with their HTML character entities.

A: Use the html entity/special character of the tag, such as < (for less than)
<p> in html ->
 in browser

You could also write <p> since there is no ambiguity about the opening tag.
Many languages have built in methods to convert HTML special characters such as php's htmlspecialchars

A: You need to escape the HTML tags, namely the less-than sign. Write it as <  and it will appear as < on the HTML page.

A: Your html needs to not be in tags. If you use the <> tags you will have it converted into code not text, if I was to write
 in the middle of a sentence  then it would do this You will need to Write the code in code so to speak, using the < > (< >)
and then you get what you need.

A: I just discovered a much simpler solution at CSS-Tricks...
Just have your outer-most wrapper be a 'pre' tag, followed by a 'code' tag, then inside the code tag put your code in paranthesis.

A: The simplest way to do it without having to reformat your text using entities is to use JQuery.

If you then do alert($('#container').prop('innerHTML'));,  you get <div><h1>Hello!</h1><p>I like you.</p></div>
How useful that technique is depends somewhat on where your material is coming from.

A: Use iframe and txt file:

With Valentine's Day approaching soon, I couldn't resist purchasing this amazingly cool heart shaped frying pan. I'm not yet sure whether I'll serve the pancakes or the eggs, or maybe both… But I'm positive my family will love them (and me)!

Why Rhode Island leads on adolescent vaccination rates
Tiny Rhode Island is a powerhouse when it comes to vaccination coverage. A recent Blue Cross Blue Shield Health of America report, which analyzes claims data from the largest set of commercially-insured adolescents in the nation, finds that vaccination coverage rates for this age group (10 – 18) have climbed since 2013. But a closer look reveals rates for vaccinations like the Tdap booster, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, a vaccine to protect against meningitis, and the cancer-preventing HPV vaccine vary widely across the country. And on every measure, Rhode Island comes out on top. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island's Vice President of Clinical Affairs Dr. Katherine Dallow sheds some light on how the Ocean State approaches adolescent vaccinations.
What's happening in Rhode Island to make vaccination coverage rates for adolescents so much higher than in other states?
We benefit from a statewide vaccination program begun by the Rhode Island Department of Health more than 25 years ago. The program eliminates barriers to getting vaccinations, provides vaccines for free to all Rhode Island children and tracks vaccination rates through a robust registry.
Insurers like Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) contribute to the state's vaccination fund every year. The department of health then buys all of the vaccinations needed for the state's children from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at a fraction of the normal cost. In this way, vaccines are free to providers and patients, including all of our members.
In addition, because the state supplies every medical practice with the amount of vaccine it needs, there's a constant check and balance on expiration dates. Practices don't run out or have too much expired vaccine on hand. And they can be quickly resupplied.
How do you track vaccine coverage and measure success?
BCBSRI tracks vaccination coverage as part of its commitment to quality healthcare. We also send out vaccination reminder cards to families with children every year, based on the child's age. We also try to get the message out that well child visits, when vaccines are often given, are critical.
We have arrangements with several physician groups in which we pay them for their performance – for quality care versus the quantity of care. We used to reward these physicians for vaccination achievement thresholds, but pediatric practices throughout Rhode Island are doing such a good job on this measure we took it off the incentive list!
What kinds of vaccines do adolescents need?
Adolescents need some booster shots to extend the effectiveness of vaccinations they received when they were younger. Sometimes they need to catch up on vaccines they missed as a younger child. There are also the vaccinations recommended specifically for adolescents. Those include the HPV vaccine to prevent certain cancers, the meningococcal vaccine to protect against meningitis and the flu vaccine.
In Rhode Island, the HPV vaccine (the first in a series recommended by the CDC) has been mandated for all 7th graders since 2015. That has led to a huge uptick in coverage for this vaccine.
Adolescents tend to see their primary care doctors less often than younger children, which may cause them to miss recommended vaccinations. How can you counter that trend?
Adolescents are unique patients. It's true that their parents may not be bringing them to the doctor as often as they did when they were younger. It's still recommended that kids up to the age of 18 have an annual well visit. But between the ages of 12 and 18 we see a bit of a drop off in those visits. We're working with state officials and provider partners to find ways to keep this age group engaged in primary care. Specifically, we've developed pediatric (including adolescent)-centered medical homes to keep the focus on these critical milestones.

Seattle Resolution Denounces Modi as the "Butcher of Gujarat"
Latest So Asia USA
The Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI), a human rights collective, warns that Modi's administration is sponsoring new violence.
DESPARDES — City of Seattle adopted a resolution on February 3, the first of its kind by any legislative body in the US, denouncing Indian PM Modi for "promoting violence against religious minorities" that allegedly earned him the nickname "Butcher of Gujarat."
The City Council hearing was marked by grave concern for the rights of minorities and caste oppressed in India with comparisons to the treatment of Jews under Nazi rule. It dovetails emerging voices of reason from the region against the situation in India.
Earlier in December, an expert told Congress that preparation for Muslims Genocide was definitely under way in India.
The IT-based city's council heard an advocacy group of Indian-Americans — a huge community in the US — and condemned Modi's moves — these have stoked tensions along religious divide in the largest democracy.
New Report Shows How Hindutva Groups Operate in US, Send Money to India
The Alliance for Justice and Accountability (AJA), an umbrella organization of progressive South Asian groups across the United States lauded the City Council of Seattle for having unanimously passed Resolution 31926 which denounces India's draconian Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The resolution was against India's Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and highlights that the CAA "is the first instance of religion being used as a criterion for Indian citizenship" and warns that a proposed National Register of Citizens could strip citizenship from "hundreds of millions of people." It also blames Modi for the 2002 Gujarat Pogrom "in which an estimated 2,000 people were killed in anti-Muslim violence, and many Muslim women were targeted for rape and other forms of sexual violence."
Seattle's resolution was introduced by City Councillor Kshama Sawant after she spoke at an anti-CAA rally in December 2019.
"By approving this resolution, the city council will urge the United States Congress to support legislation censuring the Indian BJP government for adopting policies that are discriminatory to Muslims, oppressed castes, women, indigenous and LGBTQ people," said Sawant at the Feb. 3 Seattle City Council meeting. "By approving this resolution, the city council will draw a historic line in the sand recognizing the ominous similarities between the NRC and the CAA and the early Nuremberg Laws enacted by the Third Reich in 1930s Germany."
"The CAA and NRC are key stepping stones towards the RSS's goal of establish a religious apartheid state in India," commented Pieter Friedrich, an analyst of South Asian affairs who attended the city council meeting. "The RSS's ideologues said Indian Muslims should be treated like German Jews, and its earliest leaders praised Nazi racial policies like the Nuremberg Laws. Modi, a lifelong member of the RSS who was groomed to be prime minister, is enacting that Nazi-inspired paramilitary's fascist vision."
The Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI), a human rights collective, warns that Modi's administration is sponsoring new violence. "Modi is sending his police out to murder anti-CAA protestors in India," says Arvin Valmuci, OFMI spokesperson. "BJP Minister Anurag Thakur was just caught inciting a mob to shout 'shoot the traitors.' We fear that Modi may replicate the Gujarat model that earned him the 'Butcher of Gujarat' title. Seattle's courageous stand against the fascism of Modi's government should set an example for many other American cities to follow suit."

'Ukraine to require at least $39.5-bn external financing in 2023'
The Ukrainian economy, which was severely hit by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is expected to shrink by between 32-35 per cent this year after a 3.4 per cent growth in 2021.
KIEV: Ukraine will require at least $39.5 billion in external financing in 2023 to keep its economy afloat, a media report said, citing a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) projection.
"Staff analysis suggests that external fiscal financing needs would be at least 39.5 billion dollars in a central scenario," the IMF was quoted by Interfax-Ukraine news agency as saying, Xinhua news agency reported.
Under a pessimistic scenario, which envisages that Ukraine's gross domestic product will decline by 12.5 per cent, the country's foreign financing needs will be around 57 billion dollars, the IMF said.
According to Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, external financing of Ukraine's state budget is set to reach 30 billion dollars this year.
