January 22, 2018 (Las Vegas, Nevada) I wanted to share our Vegas Strong story for the newsletter. After the horrific shooting in Las Vegas on October 1st, our team was understandably shaken by the tragedy as this all happened so close to home. Many of us knew concert goers who ran for their lives, some of us have friends who were shot. We were left wondering how we could help those impacted the most deeply. Scott Redden received a phone call from a local TV station, Fox 5, asking if we'd be interested in partnering with them to sell #vegasstrong t-shirts with all proceeds going to the National Compassion Fund (created after 9/11), supporting the victims of the 1 October shooting. Scott jumped at the chance to come together with the community to show the world we are #VegasStrong. We sold 500 shirts, many purchased proudly by our own employees as you can see in the attached photos. Scott, Kimberly, and myself presented a check live on-air for $5,000. Fox 5 raised over $156,000 for 1 October victims during this fundraising campaign. Our city was shaken, but our spirit was not broken!

Iran Under Attack: Islamic Republic Rocked by Explosive Strikes
By Richard Moorhead January 29, 2023
CNN's Don Lemon: 'We're Going To Have To Blow Up the Entire System' and Abolish the Electoral College
By Erin Erhardt September 22, 2020 at 2:53pm
When your ideas are so far to the left that even Chris Cuomo thinks they're radical, you may have gone too far.
That's what happened during a CNN segment on Monday night. Don Lemon suggested that Democrats must "blow up the entire system" if a Trump Supreme Court nominee is confirmed by the Senate before the November election — a suggestion that stunned even the very liberal Cuomo.
"We're going to have to blow up the entire system," Lemon told his CNN colleague.
"I don't know about that," Cuomo responded.
Lemon went on to attack the Electoral College.
"And you know what we're going to have to do …. Honestly, from what your closing argument is, you're gonna have to get rid of the Electoral College. Because the people–"
"I don't see it," Cuomo interjected.
"Because the minority in this country decides who the judges are and they decide who the president is. Is that fair?" Lemon asked.
Do you think abolishing the Electoral College would be a crazy idea?
No: 1% (12 Votes)
"Well you need a constitutional amendment to do that," Cuomo said.
"And if Democrats, if Joe Biden wins, Democrats can stack the courts, and they can do that amendment and they can get it passed," Lemon argued.
"Well you need two-thirds vote in the Congress and three-quarters of the state legislatures," Cuomo said, clearly incredulous at Lemon's radical assertion.
"They may be able to do that," Lemon said.
"Maybe," Cuomo conceded, still apparently incredulous.
Fitting: CNN Reportedly Considering Several Big Name Comedians to Host Prime Time Show
Lemon suggested stacking the courts and amending the Constitution with an infuriating tone of moral superiority. It seems incredible that even someone as far left as Lemon truly believes not only that Joe Biden will be elected president but also that he will have enough congressional and state support to amend the Constitution.
As Cuomo pointed out, it takes a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives (or a constitutional convention) and ratification by three-quarters of the states to enact an amendment. That's an extremely high bar, especially when the two major political parties are so ideologically divided.
The left is having a massive collective meltdown over Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death and the Supreme Court seat left vacant in her wake. They seem to honestly believe that Republicans, by holding a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year, are complete hypocrites who are rewriting the Constitution by their actions.
Yes, McConnell refused to allow Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing in 2016. However, the circumstances were markedly different: First, Obama was term-limited and not up for re-election; second, the Senate and the presidency were held by different parties.
If McConnell is a hypocrite for supposedly changing his opinion, so are the Democrats. Democrats from Obama to Biden, from Nancy Pelosi to Ginsberg herself, said in 2016 that a president's Supreme Court nominee should get a Senate hearing even in an election year.
Now, many on the left are threatening more rioting and violence, stacking the Supreme Court with additional justices, and even adding states to claim more senators if a Trump pick is confirmed in advance of November's election.
Admittedly, it's hard to take their comments seriously, as the left was threatening all of that even before Ginsburg's death.
Nevertheless, Lemon's comments expose exactly what the left wants: to tear down the systems that have served this country for over 200 years in order to create a government that will allow them to ram through a radical anti-American agenda.
And all in reaction to the president and Senate simply doing their jobs.
It's clear that the left has completely abandoned the Constitution, as well as any pretense of belief in the ideals on which America was founded.
Lemon's comments are so insane that even Chris Cuomo can't get behind them. Unfortunately, much of the left (or at least the loudest leftist voices) agree that the country should be razed if the leftist agenda isn't adopted wholesale.
"Blowing up the system," including abolishing the Electoral College, isn't a fringe idea. It's become a mainstream talking point of the modern left.
That's extremely concerning, to say the least.

You Could Never Be Replaced… But Your Teeth Can!
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing teeth in the dental industry. First used in the 1960s, they are much more common today, in large part because they are made of titanium, which is a metal capable of bonding with tissue and bone during healing. Studies and clinical experience have shown dental implants to be safe, convenient, and natural-looking. When taken care of properly, a successful dental implant can secure your smile for life. Garrison Family Dentistry is a one-stop shop for dental implant treatment. From the first consultation and treatment planning with 3D CT imaging for the most precise diagnosis to actual implant placement and restoration, we've got you covered!
Titanium is close to magical in its ability to incorporate itself with the tissues and bones of the jaw. Not only does an implant replace the tooth, but its titanium construction replaces the tooth root. The unique properties of titanium are what make modern implants the exceptional dental solution for missing teeth today.
Implant-supported dentures are another revolutionary dental restoration. Instead of traditional prosthetic dentures, patients with satisfactory gum health can choose permanent implant-supported dentures locked securely into place in the mouth. No adhesive is necessary—and you'll never have to take out your teeth again!
Are You Ready to Lock it Down?
If you have questions about dental implants or implant-supported dentures for your Smithville implant dentists, fill out the form below to send us your contact information and we will get in touch with you to set up an appointment. Or feel free to give us a call. We can't wait to help you!

La Locomotora elèctrica 278-007 és una Locomotora fabricada per l'empresa Westinghouse als Estats Units que es troba conservada actualment al Museu del Ferrocarril de Catalunya, amb el número de registre 00049 d'ençà que va ingressar el 1993, com una cessió de la companyia Renfe.

Història
L'origen de les 7800 es troba al pla d'electrificació dels cinquanta. Per aquesta segona generació de locomotores elèctriques, s'encarregaren sèries similars a fabricants diferents: francesos (sèrie 7600), britànics (7700) i dels Estats Units (7800).

La 7800 tenia la particularitat, inèdita a Espanya fins als anys vuitanta, d'un rodatge de sis eixos en tres grups de bugies. Fou destinada, inicialment, al dipòsit de Lleó, però, en concloure les electrificacions a Catalunya, a finals dels cinquanta, foren traslladades aquí. A mesura que es rebien noves unitats 7600, les 7800 foren enviades a la reserva de Còrdova, per a la línia de Madrid-Andalusia, segons avançava la seva electrificació.

Fins al començament dels setanta varen remolcar tota classe de trens i, des d'aleshores es dedicaren al remolc de mercaderies. Foren reformades el 1986 i estigueren en servei fins al 1992.

Everything You Need to Know About Becoming a Head Start Teacher
By Ashley Brooks on 01/13/2020
You thought you knew all the options for careers in early childhood education (ECE). You could work in a child care center, start your own home-based daycare or teach in a preschool or kindergarten.
But as you explored this career field, you came across one job title you weren't too familiar with: Head Start teacher. What is a Head Start teacher, and how does this position compare to other ECE-related careers?
You have a lot of questions about this ECE role, and we have answers! Join us as we learn all about what it means to be a Head Start teacher from ECE professionals who have firsthand experience.
What is the Head Start program?
Head Start is a government-funded early childhood program that enrolls children from ages zero to five who are from low-income families. The Office of Head Start oversees 1,700 child care agencies across the nation, and they provide additional training for the teachers who work there.
Head Start programs offer a high-quality early learning environment for families who otherwise may not be able to afford child care. They use a play-based learning model to help children achieve their developmental milestones and prepare them for the school learning environment.
These programs aren't just about teaching children, however. Head Start takes a broader approach to caring for children by also offering services that help connect families with affordable housing, health insurance and other resources. They also support children's learning by providing nutritious meals that meet federal guidelines and screening children for developmental or learning delays.
Common duties of a Head Start teacher
Being a Head Start teacher is similar to teaching in other ECE programs in many ways. However, there are some key differences due to the high standard of quality Head Start programs are committed to providing families.
"More is required from the teachers in terms of observation and assessment tracking of the children," says Diedra Boodoo, Assistant Professor for the Rasmussen College School of Education and former Head Start educator. "Teachers learn how to care for children with developmentally appropriate practices that must be adhered to within the program."
Head Start teachers attend regular training meetings to ensure they're using a developmentally appropriate practice. They also go the extra mile to make sure families are involved in their children's education. Teachers may perform family home visits to engage with new families, invite families to visit the classroom and also encourage parents to complete In-Kind forms, which are a way of tracking parent volunteer hours that helps the Head Start Office provide additional funding to a program.
These are some of the common job duties a Head Start teacher can expect to encounter, according to Boodoo:
Preparing outdoor play areas by clearing any debris and wiping down the play equipment
Preparing the classroom by cleaning materials, books and tables
Making and serving nutritious meals for breakfast, lunch and snack
Welcoming children and parents and communicating with families about important information
Joining children in activities and observing and documenting their skill development
Practicing skill-building and goals with individual children
Recording information about children's development
Attending classroom meetings and additional training
Students Head Start teachers work with
"All of the families who qualify for Head Start services live below the poverty level," says Amelia Dalphonse, former Head Start teacher and co-owner of the non-profit autism resource Accessible ABA. This can bring additional challenges—the families you work with may not have reliable transportation or housing. These economic issues can make providing quality ECE more difficult, but Head Start teachers must be empathetic toward the families in their program, without bringing any prejudices, judgments or assumptions to their interactions.
"A Head Start teacher must not only accept diversity, he or she must embrace it," Dalphonse says. "Often the families have experienced a variety of traumas, disabilities or addiction. All of the families are struggling in their own way and many are under extreme stress."
Head Start teacher skills and characteristics
"[Head Start] teachers take on more responsibility in the classroom" than non-Head Start educators, according to Boodoo. This added responsibility, combined with diverse classrooms and the need to support families, means that Head Start teachers need certain characteristics and skillsets to succeed.
"A successful Head Start teacher is able to juggle a variety of responsibilities and obligations while managing their own stress," Dalphonse adds. "A Head Start teacher must be more than just a strong teacher, he or she must see the big picture in which the child lives and be able to individualize their style for that child and family."
Head Start teachers must also be willing to adapt their teaching style to meet the needs of children who have developmental delays or behavior challenges. "An understanding of how to address challenging behavior helps the Head Start teacher establish a sense of control in the classroom," Dalphonse says.
"You cannot have a mentality of babysitting children to work in Head Start or Early Head Start programs," Boodoo says. If you have these characteristics, you might have what it takes to be a Head Start teacher:
Planning and organization skills
Eager to continue learning and improving
How to become a Head Start teacher
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that center-based Head Start teachers require at least an associate's degree.1 However, it may be in your best interest to consider a bachelor's degree if becoming a Head Start teacher is on your radar.
"At least 50 percent of all preschool teachers in Head Start programs nationwide must have a bachelor's degree in early childhood education or a related field," according to the BLS.1 Boodoo adds that a bachelor's degree is often required to be a lead teacher in a Head Start classroom.
After earning their degree, aspiring Head Start teachers will need some additional training, according to Boodoo. This may include the following:
CPR/First Aid
CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System) assessment training
This training, along with continuing education to support best practices in child development, are typically provided by a Head Start center, but any training completed in advance could be a plus.
Giving kids a bright start
Being a Head Start teacher is truly about giving kids the best possible start to their education and development. If you want to join the ranks of these teachers who are making a big difference to little ones and their families, get started by learning about the educational options that can prepare you for a career as a Head Start teacher or other roles within early childhood education.

Employment conditions in your area may vary.
Graduates of Early Childhood Education programs at Rasmussen College are not eligible for licensure as a teacher in an elementary or secondary school. A Bachelor's degree and a state teaching license are typically required to work as a teacher in a public school and some private school settings. States, municipalities, districts or individual schools may have more stringent licensing requirements. Students must determine the licensure requirements in the state and school in which they intend to work.
Childcare facilities and the states in which they are located establish qualifications for staff who work with children, and often implement guidelines regarding age, education, experience and professional development. Students must determine the licensure requirements for the state and facilities in which they work.
This program has not been approved by any state professional licensing body, and this program is not intended to lead to any state-issued professional license. For further information on professional licensing requirements, please contact the appropriate board or agency in your state of residence.

All of the costumes looked like they had been put together at different times, by different people. Some with genuine sewing skills, and one of them was, no kidding, a sheet with holes cut in it. My SIL said that in a perfect world she would want the costumes all to match, and not be as long, and this one (she pointed to one of the several lying on the floor) had nice wingy sleeves. By the way, she also had a bolt of white muslin. Well.
SIL brought the kids over to my house the next day and we set up an assembly line, cutting out the necks and sleeves from a symmetrical pattern, like a valentine heart. (The kids weren't in the assembly line, by the way, they pretty much ran around, swordfighting with sticks, and breaking up the ice in the goldfish pond with a shovel.) Then I stitched the sleeves and armpits, then the necks. We were going to try to get away without doing the necks, but then one angel ripped it when trying it on, so I zigzagged around each neck hole.
All the angels were adorable at the Christmas play, although I didn't get any pictures- we were late, as usual, to the performance, and they took off the costumes pretty quickly after the show was over. It took an afternoon of work, but we'll see the costumes for years as my nephews and nieces work their ways up from angels to census takers to shepherds year by year.


Ningun Ser Humano es Illegal campaign begins a hunger strike on the steps of the INS Federal Building. Their demands are for the U.S. to recognize refugees and to stop U.S. intervention in El Salvador and its support of the Salvadoran military.
CARECEN and the national network of Central American Refugee Committees organize the Caravan for Peace, a nationwide campaign and tour starting in San Francisco and ending in Washington D.C. The caravan committee participates in 55 press interviews, contacts 25,000 people directly, conducts 250 presentations, visits 49 congressional and senatorial offices and generates over 1,700 emergence telexes to El Salvador. In addition, the caravan raised funds for economic aid to the refugees in Mesa Grande, Honduras.
On November 11, the Farabundo Marti Liberation Front (FMLN) launches a major military offensive in El Salvador that includes assaults against military strongholds all over the country, resulting in the FMLN occupation of half of San Salvador, the capital city. The offensive was the turning point for the negotiated solution to the civil war.
The North American public is shocked by the Salvadoran military assassination of six Jesuit priests, a housekeeper and her fifteen-year old daughter at the Universidad Centroamerica (UCA). This coupled with the March 24, 1980 military assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the killing of four North American religious women in 1980, creates a public outcry by Americans participating in the Sanctuary and Solidarity movements.

Spending on tackling illegal immigration from France
1. The government has paid £114 million to the French government in order to stop illegal immigration originating from that country since 2015 (Parliamentary Answer, 16 June 2020) - see par. 4 below.
2. Despite this, illegal and overt Channel crossings in small boats are at a new high, with a record 145 people coming during one 24-hour period on VE Day (8 May), and thousands having come via this unauthorised route since the start of 2020 (visit our 'tracking station' for regular updates).
3. Hundreds of millions of pounds were also spent by the UK on border security in France between 2010 and 2015 (see par.11 below for a 2017 FOI response).
4. In a 16 June 2020 Parliamentary Answer, the government revealed:
'The UK and France maintain a longstanding relationship on tackling illegal migration at the shared border; since 2015 the UK has committed several funding packages to supporting this work.
In 2015, both countries signed a Joint Declaration which committed £10 million towards security reviews of the juxtaposed controls and to moving migrants nto reception centres across France.
This was followed by payments in 2016 (£17 million)
and 2017 (£36 million) to further strengthen the border and maintain the operation of the juxtaposed controls.
In January 2018 both countries signed the Sandhurst Treaty. The UK made a commitment of €50 million (£45.5m) to implement the terms of the Treaty, which adopted a "whole of route approach" to tackling illegal migration.
This was followed in 2019 by the signature of the Joint Action Plan on Combatting Illegal Migration Involving Small Boats. Under paragraph 11 of this plan, the UK committed €3.6m (approximately £3.25m).
This was supplemented with a further €2.5m (£2.25m) in the 2019/2020 Financial Year
https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2020-06-02/HL5038/
Total spent = £114 million
5. The following question needs to be asked: 'Are taxpayers getting value for money?' Many of the public do not appear to think so, as 60% said not enough action was being taken to stop illegal Channel crossings, in a new Deltapoll.
6. What was the money spent on? The UK paid for new, high security fencing around the Port of Calais as part of a Joint Fund, established by Interior Minister Bernard Cazenueve and Home Secretary Theresa May, according to a joint statement published in 2014 (see Joint Declaration, 2015).
7. The money allocated in 2018 was put towards fencing, CCTV and detection technology in Calais and other Channel ports in 2018 alone (See Sandhurst Communique - par. 53). £1.1 million of this was committed and has since been spent on supporting development of reception centres for migrants in France (see Parliamentary Answer).
8. In January 2019, a portion of the unallocated Sandhurst funds mentioned above was pledged towards the cost of reinforced preventive security measures. This included 'equipment and measures to tackle illegal migration by small boats, such as CCTV, night goggles and number-plate recognition capability' (UK-France Joint Declaration, January 2019).
9. The money allocated during the 2019/2020 financial year was 'dedicated to the deployment of gendarme reservists and further strengthening preventive security measures at the French coast', according to the government.
10. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of pounds were spent by the UK on juxtaposed controls and border security between 2010/11 and 2014/15 (see 2017 FOI response). As the table below shows, and the 2017 FOI response notes, 'between 2014/15 and 2015/16, total spending in Calais and the surrounding regions increased significantly due to a combination of increased migrant pressures in Calais, new operational and technological improvements at the juxtaposed controls and improvements to infrastructure in the region.'

Monroe County employees participated in the fifth annual Green Commute Challenge led by the City of Key West. The challenge takes a percentage of carbon dioxide saved from the participants who walked, rode their bikes, took public transportation, or carpooled to work during the week of April 1-7 in a friendly competition between other agencies in the Keys.
As of Friday's unofficial results, the commuters saved a total of 2,280 pounds of CO2 from going into the environment. Monroe County's 14 participants included: Allison Rich, Alicia Betancourt, Liz Yongue, Judy Clarke, Matt Howard, Breanne Erickson, Patricia Eables, Dina Gambuzza, Janene Sclafani, Cheryl Cioffari, Rhonda Haag, Arlene Haessler, Shelly Krueger and Clint Arsenault.
Allison Rich, Senior Library Assistant at Key West library, took public transportation or carpooled to and from work from her Big Pine Key home every day. She was the leader for Monroe County's team for the Green Commute Challenge. "It's a great way to catch up on my reading," she said.

Pros: "Precautions taken appropriate"
Cons: "Environmental controls, it was a little warm. Seats seemed more uncomfortable than usual. Air vents, lights, too far from aisle seats."
Pros: "The crew was very kind."
Cons: "Th plain boarding took much longer, we flew in circles above JFK, waited for a gate for us, then waited for all passengers with connecting flights to get off because we were late and that resulted in a VERY long process for the rest of us. The descent into the airport was also not the smoothest, but it was a smaller plane."
Pros: "The plane needed more leg room."
Pros: "When my initial flight was delayed significantly, the gate agents went above and beyond to help me get on an earlier flight so I didn't get home too late."
Cons: "It was great fir a short flight. And they got me there early."
Cons: "My screen wasn't working. It would have been great if it was."

Cons: "We were already very delayed, the flight crew was not nice"
Cons: "original, non-stop flight was delayed by 6 hours; was able to get rebooked to another flight but was still 2 hours delayed and my bag arrived another 2 hours after me, ending in a 4 hour delay over all. paid for a non-stop and ended up with a layover."
Pros: "The staff was very nice and helpful."
Cons: "My husband and I could not fit in the seats without our shoulders being on top of each other. My shoulder was in the aisle way. I am 5'8 and my knees were up againstthe seat in front of me. Our flight from CVG to DFW had none of these problems."
Pros: "Nice plane and super nice crew."
Pros: "The flight crew were really polite and helpful."
Cons: "Sat in comfort+, bbut never offered any sort of snack. Not sure why it is considered an upgrade."
Pros: "Very good crew"
Pros: "The comfort the professionalism of the staff everywhere I went"
Cons: "Little pricey on rental and hotel."
Pros: "More room and comfort than American Airlines."
Cons: "The new "class of service" rules are really awful. "Pay for privilege" is terrible customer service."
Pros: "I was surprised by the amount of snacks and drinks on such a short flight."
Pros: "Arrives earlier than scheduled, no wait time on runway taking off or getting to gate after landing. Rare to not have these delays occur in some form every flight...excellent"
Cons: "Nothing, the flight was a rare perfect 10/10"
Pros: "The flight from Dallas was on Wednesday the 8th of August. It was scheduled for a 32 minute layover, which turned into a 30 minute layover. My son, who I booked the ticket for, ran all the way to the connecting flight's gate. They'd already closed the doors, and wouldn't let him on. Consequently he had to be re-booked onto the next flight, which didn't leave until 2200."
Cons: "Did I mention that he'd taken a Greyhound bus to Dallas from Memphis on Monday the 6th of August? He got to DFW airport on plenty of time for his flight to Scotland. It should have been DFW to JFK to Glasgow. Delta cancelled his flight. Citing "weather issues." My family researched this, and couldn't find any weather issues in the North East or NY area."
Pros: "Nice plane, comfortable accommodations, great crew."
Cons: "There was nothing I didn't like."
Cons: "I was first in line for a 1st class upgrade. They didn't upgrade me but when I got on the plane, the flight attendant randomly asked someone if they wanted to move to 1st class because of an open sest"
Pros: "It was a very easy boarding process and everybody I can across seemed to be enjoying themselves."
Cons: "Seats were a bit uncomfortable and the entertainment was not readily accessible."
Pros: "Mobile entertainment was great and the crew was lovely."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed, which is a understandable part of travel. But what made it worse was that we didn't have any visibility on our actually departure time. We were first told our flight would be delayed an hour, then the departure time was moved up 40 minutes without any clear messaging. We caught an email from Delta, but if we hadn't, we might have missed our flight. The plane was also abnormally loud on board, and the air pressure seemed to fluctuate throughout the flight, making the experience uncomfortable."
Pros: "Overall experience was awesome. Always love to fly delta. Nice spacious and clean aircraft. Enjoyed the entertainment system."
Cons: "No complaints"
Pros: "Great airline stewards"
Cons: "Suggestion- Overhead bin should be assigned to the seat the person is seated in."
Cons: "Pretzel mix was lacking in quantity and taste."
Cons: "SofinwS turned off for most of trip"
Cons: "We boarded on time and were ready to leave the gate early. Somehow the pilot and air traffic controller managed to take 1 hour for de ice and takeoff even though we were 2nd in the queue. No excuse!"
Cons: "Bullshit seating...will happily put frequent flyers next to the freaking toilets."
Pros: "Good service, more leg room than American Airlines."
Cons: "Everything was good."
Pros: "A simple and pleasant experience!"
Cons: "Everyone was professional and polite."
Pros: "The almonds and Fresca"

Cons: "."
Pros: "Just over 2hrs only. Crew was very friendly."
Cons: "A bit of turbulence due to weather (no fault of the airlines)."
Cons: "Delta should change their name to always delayed"
Pros: "Nonstop quick flight"
Pros: "Weather, I think, caused a delay for my flight to Atlanta from Dallas which results in missing my connection. I was traveling with my 4-year old granddaughter. However, when I arrived having already missed my flight, I found special assistance area and was able to immediately connect with an agent who booked us on the next flight (last flight of the day to Richmond). Saving the day."
Cons: "All the planes were full and did not have enough room for carry on causing delays and getting the flight off later. The gate agents and crew did what they could to get the plane loaded faster, but they loaded the front first and those in the back could not get past making loading the plane take even longer."
Cons: "Told to drop down a class on arrival at gate."
Pros: "The African-American gentleman flight attendant was extremely helpful, funny, engaging, and service exceeded normal expectations! The plane had blue lights & calming music on in the cabin."
Cons: "The plane didn't have full catering options."
Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Yes"
Pros: "Nothing. Literally nothing."
Cons: "EVERYTHING!! Packed like sardines with ZERO distancing for a four hour flight. Flight attendants were horrible and did nothing to mandate mask wearing. Literally watched a guy sleep nearly the entire flight with his mask off and the FA walked by him multiple times without saying anything. Will never fly with American after their abysmal attempt to keep us safe. I did not feel safe for a second on that horrendous flight. Definitely getting a COVID test and I will know where I got it from if I test positive. Also the seats are uncomfortable and it was a very bumpy flight (I understand that part cannot be avoided). I don't understand how you cancel flights and bump people to other flights only for them to be SUPER packed. I thought at the rate of cases rising airlines should be doing a better job at taking safety precautions. Not American. Why do they think it's a safe idea at this time to have my wife and I packed in with a total stranger for four hours? No social distancing whatsoever! Overall I cannot say a single good thing about this flight. Worst in my entire life"
Pros: "Good price and new clean aircraft."
Cons: "Reclining seats."
Pros: "Crew was good. I slept and they didn't bother me."
Cons: "Nothing I can think of"
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Crew was nice, entertainment was good"
Cons: "Food was mediocre"
Cons: "the entertainment on the app didn't work. and there was no seat back tv things. there was a movie playing in the aisle of the airplane. there was no way to charge any devices while our domestic flight had the tvs on the back of the seats and international plugs for every seat"
Cons: "Flight was delayed twice, and the flight was very bumpy and the pilot really had a bad landing."
Pros: "Great service"
Cons: "All good, maybe keep the lights off more often"
Pros: "Left on time"
Cons: "Disgusting Food. Extremely uncomfortable seats: unable to recline far enough, my knees on back of seat in front of me, unable to sleep at all the entire trip. This was American Airlines, not British Airways. Cheap headphones kept falling out of line in port. TERRIBLE FLIGHT, Never Again!"
Pros: "Boarding from Dallas was very good but when landed in London there was no service provided to me as I requested. I asked for wheelchair and help claiming my luggage due to health problem but when I asked at the airplan gate if some body will help me the answer was wait over there with a rude way and ended by walking to the passport area and claiming my bags by my self, my bags was not there and I was going back and forth to follow directions been given to find my luggage. I was very exhausted and tired and asked people around me for help."
Cons: "There was no help at all especially from the British airway. Unlikely there was very rude answer by telling me if you need help you can hire somebody to help you at claiming bags area. This answer was not expected at all and I was very disoppointed as I made a request to have a wheelchair from London. This request was ignored in London. I was very tired and placed my self to a risk of injury because I hade recent surgery to my right shoulder. As a British air way and this was my first experience I will think carefully next time to use this service again. One of my luggage was damaged and this bag was new and this was my first time to use it they told me at customer service this just a scratch and there is no liability for this kind of damage. hopefully some body can investigate this and do something"
Pros: "BA flight from LAX on 10/10/2018"
Cons: "LAX"
Pros: "On time departure, this flight tends to get delayed, not this time. Good service and pleasant flight."
Cons: "I prefer personal entertainment systems."
Pros: "Boarded well but held for late connecting passengers, which is fine with me."
Cons: "Crew less than pleasant it seemed."
Cons: "There was a delay from Charlotte to Dallas but not too much so it was fine. Once we arrived in Dallas, however, it took an absorbent amount of time for the crew to open the door. On top of that, the skyline in Dallas was broken down and it caused me to miss my flight completely. I'm a student so I don't have much money so I had to "sleep" in the airport because I couldn't get a hotel voucher due to the fact that I missed my flight due to the airport and not the airline itself. My next flight is tomorrow morning but now takes away time from an incredibly busy and tight schedule that I was on. Not happy at all with the Dallas airport."
Pros: "Crew were ok Captain was informant"
Cons: "Delay Heat on plane at 98 degrees upon boarding"
Pros: "Pilot sounded nice"
Cons: "Airline Attendant ride. Not 2 me. I stayed away from her seeing how she talked to other patrons. Yelling "get with the program. I'll be watching you" for simple mistakes made before door of plane closed. Tried to talk elderly woman out of tea because she was lazy and didn't bring hot water on her cart. Eventually brought it but why try to talk her out of it. Heavy set dark brown tall Attendant on flight 5874 Mesa Airlines. Lost my luggage. More and more friends, family & 1 flight expert says AA gets more complaints. Will try booking with another airline carrier in future unless absolute emergency to take AA. Worth $40.00 or more extra to get friendly service."
Pros: "The crew were polite, accommodating and understanding"
Cons: "The gate was changed 1hr prior to boarding despite the arriving plane having landed 3hrs prior. So with stroller and infant in toe, I had to run to change terminals/buildings. There was no assistance or prior warning regarding this from the check in staff and I made it all the way to the original terminal and gate before having to turn around. The desk staff at the gate was asked about early boarding for infants and said it would be okay but didn't give clear instructions on boarding so I sat down and they began boarding each group 20 minutes later and did not give priority to mother's with infants. The stroller which I brought to the gate was then tagged incorrectly with a white tag instead of a pink tag. I was later told by he crew that it meant it would go directly to baggage claim instead of being brought to the door. According to the crew, all staff know to tag with a pink tag. At every step there was blatant display of inconsideration that made an already difficulty journey, that much more challenging."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Passengers brought hot food on board at Dallas. McDonalds and KFC odours were overwhelming for first 30 minutes."
Cons: "the drink service came through pretty late in the flight. i asked for hot tea. a few minutes later i was provided with extremely hot tea. about 10 minutes later it was a temperature i could tolerate drinking. about 1/3 through the drink i was required to throw away my drink because we were preparing for landing. i understand that, fine. bad timing. it's just a drink. what was unsatisfactory is that the attendant rudely commented "you have to give us your drink. it's not that long of a flight." the comment made me feel like i had done something wrong even though i had just been drinking my tea as soon as it was at a drinkable temperature. i was not impressed with the attendant. also, there weren't any biscotti cookies."
Pros: "Boarding and flight was on time."
Cons: "My flight IB 4190 from DFW to Paris on 11/11/17 @ 17:55 was operated by American Airline. I was denied to pay for my second check in bag for the simple reason that I didn't buy my ticket with American Airline!! According to American Airline agent (Danielle) at the counter, a ticket purchased with Iberia only allow 1 check bag for free and you are not allow to check in an additional bag. I called the travelling agency and Iberia customer service agent (Jose) while I was at the airport. They both told me that I should go with the luggage rule of American Airline which allow passenger to pay for a second bag. Danielle refused to talk to both agents I called. I need someone to tell me how my luggage can be send to me to Paris please. I had a very bad experience with this trip. Please help clarify the discrepancy!"
Pros: "Entertainment system and new plane"
Pros: "ON TIME"
Cons: "NO ROOM TO BREATHE. AISLE TOO SMALL TO WALK WITHOUT HITTING SOMEONE AA IS MAKING BILLIONS PER YEAR IN PROFIT. SO CHEAP, YET PRICES ARE SOOOOOOO HIGH"
Cons: "No entertainment and no gate printed on my ticket. My flight to Dallas was delayed and I had to waste time figuring out what gate to take a train to."
Cons: "The service had much to be desired. The stewardess who was serving our section was curt and rude. Whenever I would ask for a napkin (that she had forgotten to give with my drink, I might add) or any other questions, she would come off as annoyed and as if I was testing her patience, which I did not appreciate as I had been having a horrible experience with American Airlines as it was. Also, why do you not serve milk with your coffee? The flight only served half and half, and I cannot have cream in my coffee at all. So unless you want to clean up my diarrhea in your toilets, I suggest you start giving options. It's not like milk is a scarce delicacy in the US. How is it that other airlines offer both milk and cream, but I get told by your staff, rudely, that half and half "is milk" and that it's all you have? Unbelievable. I hate to be a b*** but honestly this isn't the first time that I got treated like this on AA. I always seem to have a horrible experience with this airline."
Pros: "Great flight!"
Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "I've flown a lot, and I really couldn't believe how rude the flight attendants were on this flight. They seemed very inconvenienced by their job. I gave a snack pack back to a FA bc of my allergies and she snatched it out of my hand while walking by me without even looking at me...my husband's jaw dropped, he saw it too. It was unbelievable how rude they were."
Pros: "Entertainment was great. I really liked the touch screens on the chairbacks. Food was fine for airplane food. It came more than I expected. Get sandwiches over the meals, they are better quality. A vegetarian guy had a hard time but the crew tried to help him out. Comfort was ok for a 13 hour trip. The chairs are not really the best and my back hurt after a while. Make sure you stretch! Crew was nice except for one lady. But she wasent rude just... non responsive. Other members were fantastic though. Boarding was very painless."
Pros: "Cabin baggage allowance."
Cons: "No food, only purchasable snacks payable only with a card not cash. That incurs charges for those that are not US card holders! And extortionate prices. Wifi based entertainment so you need your own tablet/phone. Great if the wifi works - it didn't. Neither on the outward or return journeys."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Boarding-we boarded class 9 and had a carry on that was to big so all 3 personnel yelled at me and my husband with my daughter in my arms very loud and disrespectfully " YOU CAN NOT BRING THESE TYPE OF BAGS ON THE PLANE!" Mind you 3 people are saying this while other people were also waiting to board the plane! So I quickly say we do not need 3 people to tell us 1 thing and especially yelling at us like we were kids or criminals because it felt like we must have broke the law the way they treated us! That experience was horrible and ruined my liking for AA"
Pros: "The guy in the middle seat left and never came back. Smooth flight. Good crew. Got both pretzels and cookies, as well as 2 cups of ice, with no problem."
Cons: "Entertainment system had some quirks. I choose my flights in an attempt to make sure I can watch a movie during the flight, so that's important to me. This one stopped once in the middle of the movie, but worked one I started it again. Didn't have buttons for fast forward or rewind, so had to guess on the timeline when I wanted to see something I missed. Then the flight map kept resetting to a mode other than what I wanted. I know these are first world problems, and they in no way affected the safety of the flight, but I expect more."
Pros: "Everyone was so helpful. The flight was very quiet and peaceful."
Cons: "This was my first time flying First Class. Not only was my flight delayed but everything was changed last minute. My seats, layovers, EVERYTHING! I was better off paying for a regular seat. I'm a young African American and the stay treated me as if I didn't belong in First Class! Not to mention the last time I flew into LAX American Airline lost my luggage! I have proof to show! Absolutely ridiculous!"
Cons: "Flight into DFW was delayed over an hour and ended up missing connection from DFW to SMF by less than 10 minutes because connecting flight left the gate early! We had 5 people in our group, including 3 children under the age of 10. Instead of taking off on time or just a couple minutes late (and oh by the way, the flight to SMF was scheduled to land early because of favorable winds) the flight left the gate early while we were sprinting from gate C31 to A17, missing the door closing by minutes and stranding our party for a three hour wait for an aircraft that went to SFO instead (75 miles away from Sacramento). As the coup de gras, our luggage didn't make it on the plane to SFO so now it's sitting in Sacramento awaiting delivery. I know there were a lot of upset people with the weather delays yesterday, but a bit of foresight or accommodation by American or a particularly savvy gate agent could have prevented the 5 of us from being among them."
Pros: "There were a lot of entertainment options, the seats were comfortable, staff was attentive, and two meals were included."
Cons: "Getting around London Heathrow was a pain and took a long time."
Pros: "I was in a seat in coach that was appalling. (28C?), one row behind the exit row seating. I am only 5' 8" but could not cross my legs. The guy to my left was KNITTING, so was constantly jogging my arm which I carefully had kept inside the armrest on my side. I will avoid flying in a BA 747 in future. Even Business is awful on those jets. I flew in Business once, and thought the head to tail layout was the worst I have experienced. I pulled down the joint divider and thought the person in the next bed was dead, he was lying there with his arms crossed over his chest! It's time to update the 747's or retire them."
Cons: "The pathetic little 4.5" times 3.5" screen in the seatback was a joke in today's environment."
Pros: "Great crew. Everything was on time."
Cons: "An older plane without an entertainment screen"
Pros: "The professionalism of the pilots in handling the extremely rough weather during the flight"
Cons: "The meal of a turkey sandwich on dry bread was forgettable . They are co - shared with Qantas and could learn a lot about providing a decent meal on a long expensive flight"
Cons: "Did not get to finish the movie I was watching on my first flight and movies were not offered on this flight."
Cons: "When I booked my flight, I used Kayac like I always have in the past. To begin with, I selected several flights that were listed, only to have it tell me that this flight is no longer offered, which I assume is engineered to get me to select a more expensive flight. Once I finally found a flight that was still available, I selected it and began the process of providing information and selecting seat assignments. On 2 of the 4 legs of the round trip, there were no more seats available except for upgrade seats, which resulted in an extra $100.00+ in charges. Then when I finished the transaction, I noticed an extra $200.00 charge added. End result was that I ended up paying over double what I would normally pay for this same round trip that I have made many many times. I feel, no I know, that some customer relations person will look at this comment and reply with a pre-generated response apologizing and hoping I have a better experience in the future and thank me for using Kayac. Big companies like yours look at one customer as no big deal. I'm a Physician and have the ability to reach out to multitudes. I'm going to make it my mission in life to reach out to as many people as I can through word of mouth, signs in my office, Internet and social media to let them know about the deplorable practices of your company."
Pros: "I was upgraded to the comfort economy after waiting 10 hours at DFW for my flight."
Cons: "After being in DFW airport for 10hrs all I wanted to do was watch a movie on board and sleep. Go figure, my TV didn't work. I called the attendant and she said she would reset them. The "resetting process" took a while. She attempted, and the other stewardess did as well. They said that the TV issue that *some* of the people were experiencing wasn't able to be fixed by them and only by the company that provides it's service. So there wasn't anything that could be done. I know that at least the two guys that were traveling next to me had issues with the tv monitors as well. It was just driving it home that I will never fly on American Airlines again. I don't ask for much these days while flying, it's not like it's a luxury anymore. But the saddest part is that customer satisfaction is completely out of the question. Just pay the extra money and fly another airline. -Deidre Fugate"
Pros: "I did not like have to stay in a hotel room when I could be sleeping in my room I'm on medication I don't even have my medicine with me because American Airlines had engine trouble in Dallas we went back to the Terminal 3 times before they ever got it fixed slit throat me late getting into Seattle and I missed the flight to Yakima I don't feel that this was my fault I didn't nothing to delay the airplanes and I walked as fast as I could to the terminal on in Seattle so I didn't have such a pleasure to little trip but your airline get put me up in a hotel but it's still not does not change the fact I have my blood pressure medicine and about 10 other medications but my blood pressure is the biggest and I will think twice before I fly Alaska Airlines again"
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "It took so long for me to leave this airport. I got there around 11:30pm and my flight wasn't till around 9:45am the next day and so when it came to that time they had cancelled my flight so I got another ticked for around 2pm and they didn't board that flight till around 4:30. My experience there was to much to handle. I was supposed to get to Colorado Friday night but didn't even get here time Saturday afternoon. Really upsetted me because I leave wednsday so I don't have enough time to be with my boyfriend. I honestly don't think I'll be flying American Airlines again"
Pros: "I was allocated a seat on the plane, and we even made it from point A to point B"
Cons: "Woah man American Airlines exemplifies everything that I hate about flying. It feels like the staff are just trying to make it work with a company that just isn't run as well as it could be. That leaves the staff to clean up the mess that was probably made by people higher up the chain. Flight delays all over the terminal, overbooked flights, and just a general feeling of disorganization makes everything with American Airlines feel a little more tense than it really needs to be. Once we all got crammed into our seats the plane took off and landed at my final destination, which really at the end of the day is the part that matters."
Pros: "Ok entertainment. "Bar" setup in the middle galley (water and juice) was nice."
Cons: "The seats are so very narrow that having extra legroom doesn't really matter - only a child or a very, very thin person will find these seats anywhere near adequate. Food (which went flying or falling into my lap as I tried to eat without elbowing my neighbor) was laughably bad, even the crew said they were embarrassed to be serving it. On that note, the crew did not seem happy with the airline, and agreed that economy on the 788 is one of the worst cabins they fly. Entertainment options were good, but when the person in front of you reclines, so does the screen, so if you want to stay more upright you can't really see the screen well. By far one of the worst economy experiences I have ever had. I will go out of my way to chose alternate routes in the future, even going via MIA to avoid the 788."
Pros: "Finally getting to my final destination and out of DFW."
Cons: "The flight was originally scheduled to take off at 8:20 pm, but due to several delays did not end up getting off the ground until after 11 pm. After being in the air for about 45 minutes we were informed that there were issues with the engine and that we would be turning around and heading back to Dallas. By this point it was after midnight, and although I was appreciative that safely is a priority, there was no communication as to what the next steps were. After landing we were finally told that we would have to deplane, and after we sat around the gate for awhile we were informed that the flight would be delayed until 5 am. Being 12:50 am at this point a hotel would have been nice, but we were informed that AA was "out of hotels" but that if we wanted we could have a $12 food voucher to use at the one restaurant that was open several terminals over. The AA employee assisting in handing out the food vouchers seemed extremely unapologetic about the situation which didn't help with the frustration everyone was feeling. I will not be booking with AA again, and will be passing along my negative experience to family and friends. It is worth spending the extra money on a ticket for an airline that is more reliable with better customer service."
Pros: "Fast shuttle to our hotel"
Cons: "Heat"
Pros: "Nothing at all !!!!!!!"
Cons: "We waited 6 hours at the airport. American Airlines kept changing our gate number from gate a17 to gat a39 to gate a9. Then at midnight we received the noticed they cancelled the flight but before we received that the attendance at the counter all left. The display above gave us a number to call or we could go wait in a line with over 100 other people we started to for about 1hour and was on hold on the phone at the same time as we watch customer relation people leave while the line got bigger. Soon there were only 4 people with a long line. We left after 1 hour but stayed on hold on the phone. After over a hour we finally got through on the phone. The next fight isn't till sat even, we were leaving Thursday so we said we needed to cancel our flight. Instead of them doing the cancelling and refunding our money we now need to login after 24 hours with or tickets an request a refund. The fun doesn't stop with American Airlinees. We have flown them in the past for years and their service has gone down terribly since the take over."

Inter-animal signaling from irradiated to non-irradiated organisms has been demonstrated for whole body irradiated mice and also for fish. The aim of the current study was to look at radiotherapy style limited exposure to part of the body using doses relevant in preclinical therapy. High dose homogenous field irradiation and the use of irradiation in the microbeam radiation therapy mode at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) at Grenoble was tested by giving high doses to the right brain hemisphere of the rat. The right and left cerebral hemispheres and the urinary bladder were later removed to determine whether abscopal effects could be produced in the animals and also whether effects occurred in cage mates housed with them. The results show strong bystander signal production in the contra-lateral brain hemisphere and weaker effects in the distant bladder of the irradiated rats. Signal strength was similar or greater in each tissue in the cage mates housed for 48hrs with the irradiated rats. Our results support the hypothesis that proximity to an irradiated animal induces signalling changes in an unirradiated partner. If similar signaling occurs between humans, the results could have implications for caregivers and hospital staff treating radiotherapy patients.


2. He has played 18 games in all competitions this season, scoring five goals. Lens has been particularly impressive in the Europa League having bagged five in nine. Leeds United scouts were apparently present in their recent clash against Sarpsborg.

Woman overcomes years of adversity, homelessness to graduate college
By Briona Arradondo, FOX 13 News
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (FOX 13) - From homeless mom to college grad, Nikishea Wright overcame obstacle after obstacle to get her diploma, which she will receive Saturday.
The St. Petersburg woman has endured traumas but decided going to college was going to make her stronger. She said her diploma would not have been possible without the support of her three sons and husband, who motivated her to finish the degree she started in 2001.
"Those long nights when I stayed up studying for those exams, those nights when I cried. He assured me that I would be OK, that I would get through it," said Wright about her husband, Glynn, Sr.
On Saturday at Tropicana Field, she will graduate from St. Petersburg College with a bachelor of science in public policy and administration. Wright said her oldest son, Glynn, Jr., 16, took care of his younger brothers Gavin, 12, and Sirr London, 8, when she studied.
Wright said her cap and gown represent her perseverance through many obstacles in her life.
"I was homeless with my oldest son, he was three years old at the time. We were homeless for about three months," said Wright.
At that time, she lived out of her car, parking in church lots and taking her son into McDonald's to wash him up.
"I was determined to get back on track. I was determined to make a better life, and I wanted to, if it was God's will, never go back down that road again," she said.
Wright fell into a deep depression after her nephew was killed in 2017.
"I had to take some time away to regroup to get my thoughts together," said Wright. "I had some phenomenal teachers who worked with my through that transition. So, if it wasn't for those teachers as well, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today getting ready to graduate on Saturday."
So when her family sees her with her cords and cap this weekend, Wright said that moment won't be just for her.
"I did it for my family. I did it for my kids, and I did it for all those women that think they can't do it. They can," she said.
Wright started studying nursing all those years ago but realized she wanted to help people in a different way. She also credits her campus job with the Women on the Way program for her success. The program assists students with scholarships and supplies.
She plans to take a year or two off and help her oldest son get prepared for college, then she plans to go on and study for her master's degree.
It was smooth sailing for Tampa-bound traffic on the Howard Frankland Bridge Wednesday until deputies tracked down and pulled over a stolen car.
The traffic caused a mess for anyone needing to get somewhere on time. Pinellas County Deputies stopped the stolen vehicle near the middle span of the bridge.
It started in St. Petersburg, where stolen cars have been a topic of discussion. On Monday morning, the driver of a stolen Infinity hit and killed a 26-year-old woman.
