Second email to the DEC, Town of Perinton and Senator Funke
January 16, 2018 / Kaitlyn Foley
The following is an email from Gary McNeil to the DEC, Town of Perinton and Senator Funke on January 4th, 2018.
I'm sure you are all aware of the attached newsletter that WM sent out last night. At approximately 9pm on Tuesday 1/2/18 many residents experienced a 10-15 minute long event at their homes. The event consisted of vibrating, rattling, and shaking houses and walls. We experienced it ourselves, and took a video during the occurrence. At first we thought it was frozen pipes about to burst, and then we thought it was related to our furnace. It was pretty scary feeling, and lasted quite a long time. Once it passed (and nothing exploded in our house), a member of our FB group messaged me that her and her neighbors experienced the same phenomena, and she asked me if it could be related to the landfill. Keep in mind she lives on the south side of the landfill, and we live on the north side. Once we realized this event was not isolated to our house, we contacted our neighbors in Magnolia and they all reported the same experience. At that point we remembered some articles we came across when researching landfills that described a few landfills in the country causing tremors for miles due to flare/gas malfunctions. I still thought it was a reach, but figured I should follow up once my wife saw many people writing about the occurrence in the Fairport Families FB group. So the next morning I sent an email to both WM and the Egypt Fire Department.
I have still yet to hear back directly from Jeff Richardson or the Egypt Fire Department, but WM confirmed our fears last night in their newsletter. Obviously this is quite a shock to the community. Not only are we dealing with 70% of our days filled with noxious gas odors (still), but now we have tremors that lasted almost 15 minutes. The reasons that are provided in the newsletter are laughable. WM is essentially saying that their infrastructure cannot handle the cold weather, just like it couldn't handle the rainy weather from the summer. One can conclude that the site is not able to operate in the Rochester climate at this point, at least not at the 3500 ton per day intake level that they achieved once the rail was implemented.
We've had multiple people in our group contend that the tremors from Tuesday night were not the first time that happened. They are saying that it's happened a few times since the fall, mostly during the late morning hours. I cannot confirm what they are saying, but I have no reason to doubt them, especially since some of them are claiming guests and housekeepers brought it to their attention. If their stories are true, I urge you to pressure WM into confirming or denying their power plant and flare had issues over the last 6 months similar to what happened Tuesday evening, even if it was a lesser magnitude event. The community deserves to know, and I doubt they are going to respond to any inquiry I make.
Lastly, it seems more and more people are stepping forward with air quality concerns, especially after seeing the rail application from 2013 that Macedon sponsored, which indicated air quality would worsen due to increased intake, but would be offset by "proposed beneficial reuse". It's very obvious that the infrastructure could not handle going from 1500 tons per day to 3500 tons per day, which is what happened once the rail started operation. The additional gas created by the waste (and spurred by weather according to WM), is not manageable. The DEC should restrict intake to a more manageable level, immediately. When the flare is not working, those really harmful gasses are being released into the atmosphere, and all our families are breathing them in. It comes into our houses, schools, and businesses. Recent remediation efforts almost mirror verbatim the remediation efforts that took place in 2011 and 2012. Shouldn't "newer methods" of gas collection already be implemented proactively? Shouldn't this site have already been setup to handle the increased tonnage per day when the rail opened? We have been dealing with this since September. This community is not going to wait until May for resolution, especially with air quality concerns that are ongoing.
We don't know whether to put our house up for sale and pull our kids out of their school, engage with local lawyers that are urging us to do so, wait for the DEC to actually act, or wait for the Town to possibly sue once the 6 month timeline is up. I don't like the feeling of knowing gasses are entering my house, and I don't like the feeling of my house shaking for 15 minutes due to tremors. The entire community shares these concerns. We moved back here in 2012 after 10 years in Tampa, primarily so our kids could enjoy the community benefits that we did while growing up. It's hard to believe a business could have this sort of impact on this town, and apparently enough leverage to get away with it.

Email to the DEC, Town of Perinton and Senator Funke
The following is an email by Gary McNeil sent to the DEC, Town of Perinton and Senator Funke on December 21st, 2017.
Mr. D'Amato, Supervisor Barker, and Senator Funke,
I'd like to thank all three of you for your recent communication regarding the High Acres landfill odor situation. You have assured the public that resolving this issue is a priority at both the state and local level. While the residents of Perinton and the surrounding areas can take some comfort in knowing that this issue will no longer fly under the radar, there are still many concerned about how we've gotten into this situation. On the surface, this appears to be a story of misguided leadership, lack of foresight, lack of oversight, and an unwillingness to take action until the problem was out of control. Waste Management has successfully created a narrative that they are a "good neighbor". The facts don't appear to back that statement up.
Based on WMs own data, the start of the current odor reporting trend was in March of 2017. The reporting stayed steady through the summer months, when WM responded to residents saying road construction was to blame. In fact, they put in writing that road construction was to blame from June to August. During those months, the smell was mostly a garbage smell, and not many residents knew how to report it. The gas smells started in earnest in September. Word started spreading through the east side about what people were smelling, and who to send emails to. As the gas odors continued into October, frequency, potency, and distance all increased, and people hit their tolerance threshold. The Facebook group was formed, and odors continued to increase. In early November I visited the WM site and experienced a very combative staff. I was invited to their site, yet they spent the first five minutes interrogating me about my motives, even though I was upfront saying I was simply a neighbor that wanted the odor situation resolved. They made it clear that they had powerful lawyers and plenty of funds to handle whatever problems they needed to. They also made it clear that historically the town had run interference for them with people like me. Needless to say, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. While I would have liked to get up and leave after 10 minutes, I stuck through it in order to learn as much as I could about their problems. I thought that if I'm going to move my family out of Perinton after growing up in Country Downs and Mason Valley, I was going to invest some time into what went wrong before making that decision.
So here we are in late December, on another night in Perinton that smells awful. The winds shifted out of the east earlier tonight, and, like clockwork, the odors started around Aldrich, made their way behind FHS, then into the south side of the Village, and finally over to Jefferson Ave. This isn't the first time we've predicted the odor based on time of day and wind direction, then watched as reports were logged over an hour across that swath of 6 miles. If this happens on a spring night when people are outside in the Village, the reputation of the Town and Village will deteriorate quickly. While hindsight is 20/20, it's hard to imagine the Town and the DEC approving expansion years ago, knowing what the risk of a deteriorating landfill brings to the surrounding communities. There are plenty of documented cases of landfills growing to a point where deteriorating infrastructure leads to an inability to control harmful gasses and odors. In the case of High Acres, regardless of the reasons they gave out in 2011, 2012, and now 2017, the perception is that they used to be able to handle 1500 tons of garbage a day, which is what they took in through the 2000-2010 time period. As time passed, and they started to increase daily amounts to 3500 tons of garbage a day, the odors started, and have been intermittent over the years, leading up the horrendous last 6 months. Perception is reality many times, and in the case of High Acres, excuses related to road construction, high rainfalls, and faulty systems, only serve to support the perception of the inability to scale the operation and a reactive oversight/management process.
So at this point, residents feel like the Town sold out years ago, the DEC failed in it's oversight, and WM simply doesn't care as they make millions in revenue off the site. The letter WM wrote to the DEC yesterday (12/20) supports many people's feelings. While we understand why the DEC is forcing WM to take these actions, they were in fact forced, after too many months of complaining. Just last year, in the 2016 Conservation Board meeting minutes, WM stated that the reason for any increase in complaints was because more "high end" houses exist around the landfill. While there are a few additional neighborhoods around the landfill, the fact that they are "high end" is irrelevant, and they do not address residents that built homes in the area 20-30 years ago that are now dealing with the landfill odor 6 miles away. It was a very arrogant response, which continued when I was onsite in November. The fact that they are just now apologetic and taking this situation seriously is a slap in the face to residents. The letter to the DEC also contained inaccurate information.
Odors did not start in the "late summer months", they started in March
The increase in community notifications did not "begin in the fourth quarter", they began in September, which is the third quarter
The data displayed in the odor notification chart is not accurate (I'm attaching the accurate data our group has captured since 11/4 for comparison)
While these may seem like minor technicalities, it seems more like WM wants to create their own timeline and narrative of events, which further erodes the trust of the community. The open house they recently had was on short notice and many residents just don't have hours to spend onsite at a business that is contributing negatively to their life. They simply want the odor to stop. WM had mentioned to me in my meeting in November that their open houses are typically not well attended, which is a sign to them that people are happy with their existence. That reasoning is flawed, and if they use it again in this instance it should be refuted.
At this point the community has been told the following (high level summary):
The DEC will be aggressively monitoring the remediation, reporting, and communication efforts of WM.
The Town started a 6 month clock in November for holding WM accountable should they not resolve the issue (amount a few other steps they are taking)
WM has provided a multitude of reasons and excuses for failing to scale their business properly, and will do everything they can as outlined in their letter to the DEC to resolve the odor situation by the end of March. They also said we'd see a significant improvement by January.
The Fresh Air group continues to grow daily as more people are impacted by the odor and word spreads (1650+ people from Perinton, Fairport, Macedon, Penfield, Walworth, and Gananda). We're finding that many people miles away aren't even aware that they are smelling the landfill. They call the fire departments and RG&E to report gas leaks because they just don't think the landfill would affect them 5-6 miles away. As you are aware, WM requests that residents call their hotline to log complaints. I have personally communicated to them that people are not willing to do that. WM should not dictate the form of communication. Using the phone puts all the tracking and logging into the hands of WM, which is not where it needs to be. Ideally a 3rd party would be overseeing this, but since that isn't happening, our group took the initiative to track it ourselves. At first we were using a Google Form, but on 12/4 we released a mobile app called "Fresh Air for the Eastside". The app picks up your location from the GPS in your phone, and the weather conditions from the weather app in the your phone, all in real time. It also links to your email account for easy creation of the email which some of you are included on. The user simply has to record what they are smelling and it's intensity. All other data points are automated. Anything that can't be reported in real time (like when you're driving) can still be logged into the Google Form when a resident has time to do so. I've attached our data from 11/4 to 12/20, along with a chart which is much more accurate than the chart WM provided.
643 complaints over 47 days (6.5 weeks)
33 of the 47 days had at least 1 complaint (70%)
The minimum number of complaints was 1
The maximum number of complaints was 78
The average number of complaints for the 33 days was 20
398 unique addresses filed at least 1 complaint
Lastly, a class action firm recently sent letters to residents with a survey. The firm is from Detroit and is partnering with another firm in Syracuse. I've provided our FB group my thoughts on this type of class action, urging them to ignore the letter. Nobody should be interested in getting $500 out of a class action lawsuit, having their future rights to complain taken away, and not focusing on stopping the odor. If legal action is taken in the future, it should be to drastically reduce intake or shut the landfill down completely. That being said, I cannot control what residents do, and there are thousands that aren't in our group that received the letter.
Ultimately, I think there is a short window for WM to show they can minimize the odor. WM has stated that 4-5 instances a year would be acceptable, and I think people that live in the 5 mile radius of the landfill would agree. The jury is out if they can attain that type of rate between now and the end of March. If they don't, the expectation from the community is that this site be scaled back drastically (going back to 1500 tons a day that was manageable), or it be shut down. Whether the DEC takes action to do that, or the Town does so through legal action, doesn't matter to the community at this point. Should the DEC or the Town fail to take action, and the odor continue, I believe many residents are willing to take necessary action on their own. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but all options have to be on the table if people are not willing to give up and move out of town without a fight.
I apologize for the length of the email but there was a significant amount of information to cover. We are looking forward to voicing these concerns, and many more, at the Conservation Board meeting on 1/16. Again, I thank you for your efforts and communications thus far, and hope we can find a viable solution in the coming weeks and months. I hope you are all able to enjoy the upcoming holidays.
FYI - I redacted the names and addresses in the complaint log attached.
Email to the DEC and the Town of Perinton
The following is an email Gary McNeil sent to the DEC on December 6th, 2017;
I have looped in Supervisor Barker to this email chain. I wanted to accomplish two things. One, to follow up on our email correspondence to see if the DEC has met with WM yet, and two, to provide both the DEC and the Perinton Town Board the data that the Facebook group has collected between 11/4 and 11/30. My ultimate goal is to try and get you both in the same room for a meeting in order to discuss both the DEC and Town's plans going forward in relation to the odor issue. Although we have only been organizing the affected community for 5 weeks, I fear that for many in the area this is already getting to a tipping point. The odor has continually gotten worse through the month of November, and the first few days of December have been horrendous. The odor frequency, intensity, and distance of travel is all increasing at an alarming rate.
The people of Perinton are prideful of their community and will not tolerate the odor for much longer. WM told me on 11/9 that they needed 6 months to fix their infrastructure problems. That is unacceptable for this community. There are 10k+ residences affected by the odor over the last month. 1300 people have joined the Facebook group, but there are many more that are not on social media or are unaware of the group. They have no idea there is a way to log their complaints. As we plot the location of each complaint on a map, we are seeing increases in complaints 5+ miles away (we have removed outliers for the sake of integrity). Businesses that utilize the outdoor environment to serve their patrons are starting to get worried that this will not be resolved for Spring weather, specifically in the village of Fairport. The Northside/Dudley elementary school teachers and administrators are complaining of the odor seeping into their halls. Our kids should not have to deal with this.
The community needs the assurance of both the DEC and the Town of Perinton that this is at the top of the priority list. We should not be forced to spend countless hours compiling complaint data and making a case that our quality of life is compromised. People have lived in this community at the same location for 30+ years and have not had to deal with the landfill odor until more than a handful times a year until the last 6 months, when it has gotten out of hand. This is not only a handful of neighborhoods affected, it is a large swath of the Town and Village. There should be as close to a zero tolerance policy as possible when Landfills are located this close to a community as heavily populated as Perinton.
Six months ago WM emailed us that road construction over an old cell was causing the odor increase (June to September). Recently, they have told us it is infrastructure related (pipe clogs, vacuum issues). Others, including the DEC at a recent meeting, have reported that the trains coming in from NYC and other areas are sitting too long and cause odors when they are unsealed and dumped. Yet others have reported that the gas WM is required to run through the flare is too much for the flare(s) to handle, resulting in the gas being released.
I don't know exactly what the source of the odor is, and the community is concerned that WM and the DEC don't know either. It's an embarrassment that the DEC oversight has been insufficient and led to the current situation, and that the Town's contract is not more protective of it's residents. The communication coming out of both entities has also been less than ideal. People want to know that an investigation is open, what possible repercussions could be, and if the odor will be guaranteed to not come back more than 4-5 times per year. They also want to know that the expansion into Macedon will not result in future issues for Perinton residents.
Regarding the data attached, it is alarming. If more people affected knew about our FB group, the data would be astronomical. We are working to make that happen. The first few days of December data is showing at 3x the averages of November. The perception right now is that we are losing this town, it's identity, and many of the reasons we all love to live here. I'm almost at a loss that I even have to write this email and be involved to the extent I am. I run operations for a business based out of Tampa, FL, I am not a community activist and should not have to be dealing with this problem.
I will send the password separately and look forward to hearing from both of you.
DEC/Town Supervisor Correspondence
The following are Gary McNeil's notes from his correspondence with DEC/Town Supervisor on November 17th, 2017
I had some correspondence on Wednesday with the DEC and had a meeting with Supervisor Barker on Thursday. Some info for those interested:
DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation)
The Region 8 Director of the DEC Paul D'Amato confirmed that the High Acres site is having issues this year with the odor, and my contact with the DEC was not the first contact they had with the public about the issue.
WM has acknowledged there are issues at the site, and they are now required to attend a meeting at Mr. D'Amato's office in early December to describe the additional measures they have currently planned to address the odor, and when those measures will be fully implemented. The DEC staff will suggest further measures if they feel WMs plan is not sufficient.
In their experience there is no immediate "switch" that can be flipped to turn the odor off once a landfill starts to have odor issues. They first need to determine the source (gas vs operational), then address the cause.
He thinks that residents documenting the date, time, location, duration, and type of smell is helpful.
His team will be onsite more frequently to oversee corrective actions. He is open to meeting with me after the WM meeting in early December.
Supervisor Barker:
The town met with WM this week to ensure WM was proactively investigating the odor. Multiple town officials were at the meeting, including town counsel. The town plans to hold WM accountable to all clauses in the contract.
WM attributed their recent problems (this weeks horrific gas/garbage smells) to piping issues, but no additional details were provided.
WM did not tell the town they needed 6 months to fix the problem. They did not give a timeline like they did when Mike and I were there.
He is unaware of any active DEC investigation.
He has been contacted by FCSD officials as well as Senator Funke's office this week.
He is supportive of our efforts to track data, spread the word about how to log complaints with WM, and get concerned residents to the Conservation Board meeting that WM has to attend.
The Conservation Board meeting is tentatively scheduled for 1/16 at the Town Hall. They are moving it to room large enough to seat 200 people, give or take. The more people there, the better.
This year is 60/40 in terms of Macedon vs. Perinton waste disposal. Next year it will be 70/30, and it will continue to trend in that direction. As that happens, revenue from WM will decrease as a percentage of the Perinton budget, and will eventually be a flat fee.
On the other hand, Macedon will see an increase in revenue from their contract with WM. Macedon has approved the landfill hill on their side to reach 200 feet HIGHER than the Perinton side. While that will take many years, it is worth noting that the hill may eventually look awkward or tiered as it moves into the Macedon side.
There appears to be some coordination, or at least verification, between representatives to make sure they are all aware of the issue and putting pressure on WM to find resolution.
The DEC is taking action, but did they formally hold an investigation? Is it closed? Is it open? Do they plan on holding one? Are the findings public? Getting WM to present WM findings on what the odor is isn't enough in my opinion. The DEC should be doing an independent investigation into why the odor is occurring so frequently, and why it is so strong.The public should get to see those results. I will be visiting Avon in early December to ask these types of questions. We also need to know if the DEC is looking at the complaint log and if the WM complaint log is skewed. Does the DEC know the true extent of the problem?
I expressed my concerns on the lack of transparency for the residents of Perinton. We don't know what's causing the issue, how serious it is, if it is feasible to fix, and if the fix will be permanent. This needs to be addressed by someone...whether it's WM information that is verified by the DEC, or the town, or the DEC itself.
The Conservation Board members are the ones that will advise Supervisor Barker on how to move forward in dealing with the issue. Showing up at the meeting on 1/16 and laying out our data/concerns will be very important in terms of helping them make their decisions.
With Macedon about to get more revenue than they will know what do with, and a less populated area to complain down the road once it turns into a PR problem for them, I think it may make sense to get in front of the Macedon Town Board and let them know what they are getting into. I'm not sure if anyone has reached out to the Macedon Supervisor yet, but if they are made aware now of what we are dealing with, they won't be able to say they had no clue in 10 years once they are dealing with the fallout of adding all the garbage on their side.
It's been a nice break having two days in a row with no odor in Magnolia. Hopefully that continues into the weekend and the holiday. Thanks to everyone who is helping with the fliers. Perinton is an older community and there are a lot of residents not on FB and not aware there is a way for their voice to be heard regarding this matter. I think what we are doing will help tremendously.
This is a community group created to share and collect information regarding the odors caused by High Acres Land Fill. Our goal is to improve air quality, and quality of life, for all those affected in Fairport and beyond.

Lara has been testing out the Ball n Gear Centre from Playskool.
Lara couldn't wait to get it out of the box. She was pulling the packaging off like a crazed animal. This is probably to do with the bright colours and funny faces - tempting!
The Ball n Gear Centre comprises a brightly coloured central unit, 2 plastic balls and a set of 5 'gears' or cogs. We chose it from Playskool's offering because, at 15 months old, Lara is fascinated by the way things work. She is always investigating things (this is also known as pulling things apart). Lara likes to put stuff 'in', pull stuff 'off', put things 'together', 'press' things and 'move' things. It is an age where children learn a great deal about the basics of the world around them while soaking up a lot of the detail.
Within seconds of using it, Lara knew exactly what she was supposed to do with it. This is particularly fascinating as neither myself or Mr. B. could understand it's appeal. We're both the scientific sort so maybe we're reading a bit too much into the toy. The balls plop out. The 'gears' go round when you press a button. That's about it. There are cogs and wheels to spin, and I think we were expecting them to link together so that movement of the gears caused balls to move, or cogs to spin – it doesn't.
Lara likes to explore the Ball n Gear centre. She goes back to it time and again. Lara has managed to find secret hidey holes for balls that we would never have found! She loves to press the button, to stack and slot the 'gears' and to place the ball in different places.
The Playskool Ball n Gear centre, like most children's toys this day, takes batteries. When we put the batteries in we were expecting things to turn and whizz. Actually, all you get is music and in general, I'd rather go without. Lara on the other hand likes to dance to the music – she presses the button and then bops in front of it. I wish I could have captured a video.
The music hasn't yet driven me round the bend, we haven't yet lost the balls or gears and nothing has fallen off it. It entertains Lara for upto 10 minutes at a time (which, trust me, is a long time in her world). So, the conclusion is that it really doesn't matter what I think of the Ball n Gear centre – my toddler loves it and that's what matters.
The Ball n Gear Centre is suitable from 9 months old and costs around £24.99.

As we have reviewed previously, I set out the general legal principles behind the concept of "contempt of court" in family proceedings, which had been considered in great detail in the recent Ontario decision in Jackson v. Jackson.
The mother in that case had asked the court to declare the father in contempt, since she claimed he had breached the terms of prior temporary access orders and had thwarted her access in a long-standing campaign to gradually eliminate her from their two children's lives.
After embarking on a detailed, sometimes historically-based consideration of the law and principles that underpin the contempt penalty in Canadian family proceedings, the court then turned to the more practical aspect: the specific, fact-driven legal tests that the mother had to meet in order to prevail in obtaining a contempt order against the father.
• That there was a valid, live court order that was to be enforced.
• That the father had actual knowledge of the order that the mother claims he breached.
• The order clearly and unequivocally states what should and should not be done.
• That, on the facts, the father disobeyed the order. (And there is no need to establish that he violated a specific term – it is enough for the mother to show that he disobeyed to the extent that it foiled the implementation of the court order).
• That the father disobeyed the order deliberately and willfully.
Moreover, the mother had to prove all these things, beyond a reasonable doubt.
Over the next 60 paragraphs of a very careful judgment, the court closely scrutinized the facts surrounding the various failed or unsatisfactory supervised visits, keeping in mind that the parents' relationship had been turbulent and the separation was very acrimonious. (The mother had been criminally charged with assaulting one of the children, and which led to the supervised access order in the first place).
Overall, the court concluded that the father, while perhaps over-protective of the children and not sufficiently mindful of the mothers' progress in addressing her parenting and emotional issues, was not in contempt within the meaning of the legal test. The necessary elements of the test were simply not made out.

Disney Launches the Ultimate Princess Celebration!
Just when I thought Disney Princesses were going out of style, Disney came out and announced a year-long celebration of their beloved heroines! The Global Ultimate Princess Celebration will roll out the red carpet with music, merchandise, and events devoted to the everlasting Disney Princess brand. I am overwhelmed by all of these announcements and don't even know where to begin. On May 21st, we will have a new Disney Princess anthem called "Starting Now" to replace Auli'i Cravalho's "Live Your Story" music video from 2018. The new song will be performed by Brandy, whose 1997 version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella was recently revived on Disney Plus. "Starting Now" will also be featured in a Disney Channel special this august called Disney Princess Remixed - An Ultimate Princess Celebration. Does that sound like a royal title or what?
The talented ladies Broadway Princess Party have been licensed by Disney to perform in an official Disney Princess concert tour. What's interesting about this to me is that Laura Osnes, who started the Broadway Princess party, has never worked for Disney in an official capacity until now, even though she has sung many of their songs onstage alongside Broadway's original Belle, Susan Egan, and Jasmine, Courtney Reed. I guess Disney was so impressed with their performances that they decided to take the Broadway Princess Party for themselves. Aisha Jackson, who understudied as Anna in the Frozen musical will be joining the party as well. The event is described on the official D23 website as "an unforgettable evening of story, animation, and song, alongside their magical musical director and an enchanting guest Prince." Even though Disney is not referring to the Broadway Princess Party by name, it sounds like the same the show, and I'm wondering if the original version is going to stick around much longer after Disney takes over. I'm also curious about any changes Disney might make to the concert after it gets touched by their magic.
Since it's Disney, this celebration will include a flood of new merchandise, including a book from Disney Publishing called Tales of Courage and Kindness. The book includes 14 original short stories that "demonstrate how the Disney Princesses, as well as Queens Anna and Elsa, are kind and courageous, each in her own way." The book is available to download now through August at disneyprincesstories.com along with upcoming videos of various Disney Princess voice actresses reading their stories out loud. You can share your own stories with Disney Princess-themed journals and stationary sets from The Happy Planner. Funko has also released some exquisitely detailed figurines of Ariel, Jasmine, Tiana, and Aurora, complete with animal friends and environments, which is a welcome change from their overly simplified standard designs. In honor of the princesses' giving nature, Disney has partnered with Starlight Children's Foundation to give princess-themed hospital gowns to children in need, a truly worthwhile endeavor.
If you haven't heard the news yet, Disneyland is opening up this week after over a year of lockdown. They will be participating in the Ultimate Princess Celebration with with a brand new version of Snow White's Scary Adventures called Snow White's Enchanted Wish. This animatronic dark ride is a complete reimagining of the original ride feature new lighting, music, animation, and more, similar to how Walt Disney World reimagined it with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Hong Kong Disneyland is celebrating with their impressive new Castle of Dreams, which draws inspiration from 13 different Disney Princess castles and stories. A brand new exhibit called Building a Dream: The Magic Behind a Disney Castle will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the imagineers' process in building the castle from conception to completion. Even if you don't plan on visiting the parks any time soon, it looks like there will be plenty of Disney Princess goodness to enjoy during this year-long celebration!
I try not to get my hopes up with the direction princesses have been heading, especially when it comes to Disney. Today's announcement took me by surprise in a good way. I am thrilled to see that the characters I love are being given the attention they deserve and spreading their message of hope and kindness throughout the world with music, events, and specials. Even princesses as old-fashioned as Snow White have something positive to offer during today's difficult times. With so much hopelessness in the world right now, we need their positivity more than ever, and I can't wait to partake in all of these different ways to celebrate my love of princesses. Which part of the Ultimate Princess Celebration are you most excited about? Let me know in the comments!

Saoirse Ronan is at her luminous best in new film The Seagull
This week Saoirse Ronan returns to the big screen as Nina in the Chekhov classic The Seagull. It's a career best performance from the Irish actress, who is radiant onscreen as the doomed young Russian heroine.
Cahir O'Doherty
@randomirish
Saoirse Ronan as Nina in The Seagull Sony Pictures Classics
Saoirse Ronan is a three time Oscar Nominee at only 24, a Hollywood A-Lister who's as at home in Carlow as she is in Beverley Hills, and she's also that rare thing, a serious artist who remembers not to take herself too seriously.
If she's notably well adjusted for a celebrity it's mostly thanks to her mum and dad Monica and Paul Ronan, who have themselves experienced many of the highs and lows of an artistic life (as well as the Irish immigrant one) and who have subsequently grounded their daughter through their own experience.
But all the solid Irish background in the world is no substitute for artistic talent and in her latest role as Nina in the big screen adaptation of the Anton Chekhov classic The Seagull (opening Friday, May 11) Ronan reminds us of it, playing the beautiful but doomed young heroine Nina, a girl who falls too hard and too fast for the wrong man with fateful consequences.
Brian Dennehy as Sorin (left) and Saoirse Ronan as Nina in The Seagull.
Director Michel Mayer's brilliantly paced and intimate portrait is exceptional. In his hands The Seagull unfolds like a waking dream but it also feels as raw and real as any first love. When Ronan first appears onscreen she is radiant with the rich promise of her own youth, and seemingly lit from within by it.
As the 19 year old Nina, Ronan's a thoughtful and observant young woman locked in a passionate but increasingly fraught relationship with the equally young writer Konstantin Treplyov (played by nervy English newcomer Billy Howle) who is a principled but wholly inexperienced young man who can see though everything in life but his own romantic desires.
Nina wants to be an actress in the escapist way that many young people do, to win some public acclaim on the stage and leave behind the fractured family life that has marked her.
But when acting for the first time in her young lover Konstantin's debut play she is constantly interrupted by the scornful comments of his famous actress mother Irina (Annette Bening) who finds his writing pretentious and incomprehensible.
Irina is feted throughout Russia for her acting skill and her laughable narcissism simply won't allow her to share the spotlight, even with her own child, who she mercilessly lampoons until he calls off his play in protest.
Irina's maternal instincts are no match for her theatrical ones we discover and Konstantin is especially humiliated to see that she is scoffing at him in the company of her much longer lover (the far more successful writer Boris Trigorin, played by Corey Stoll).
Corey Stoll plays the unscrupulous Boris Trigorin
If all of this sounds pretty melodramatic, well the truth is it is. But it also frequently cruelly funny. Chekhov's character's openly say what most people only dream of and half the entertainment comes from witnessing these often very unpleasant people be thoroughly and unapologetically themselves.
The Seagull is Russian in its blunt directness then, but it's artistry lies in symbolism and the awareness that these are fallible people in an imperfect world who could be us and everyone we know. Forever dreaming of escape from the suffocating details of their lives they're never more funny or relatable than when they're lamenting just how impossible their dreams turn out to be.
Broadway giant Brian Dennehy is ideally cast as Sorin, Irina's cantankerous and miserable older brother, who lives on her dime and finds his country life increasingly insufferable. Dennehy is the symbol of everything we should fear, he's faithless, loveless, filled with regret and unhappiness, he's the human cost of a long life that never once got close to the things it dreamed of. So he's a warning and a reminder of where most of this play and the characters are heading.
Billy Howle Nina's plays ardent young lover Konstantin Treplyov
After the failure of Konstantin's play Nina sees her lover in a new and unflattering light, he suddenly strikes her as half baked and immature. Instead she immediately turns her attention to the much older and more celebrated Trigorin who personifies everything that seems adult and glamorous to her.
Stoll is all too believable as the cynical sensualist, who turns everyone he looks at into the subject of a story, with no concern about the effect this might have. In Nina he sees an all too willing victim, one who is literally asking to be used.
Ronan never lets us get ahead of her character. She plays her naivete but also her desperation. To her Trigorin represents perhaps the only chance she'll ever have (now that her family have cut her off financially) of making an escape to the artistic life she dreams of.
Ronan's character thinks she is in control of her destiny but the truth is she has very little room to maneuver. Trigorin understands this fact and manipulates her ruthlessly. What develops is a love triangle between Bening's Irina, Ronan's Nina and the unscrupulous cad.
Annete Bening plays Irina in The Seagull
It's heartbreaking to watch a spirit as pure as Nina's get eaten alive by someone as unprincipled as Trigorin, and director Mayer doesn't make it easy for us. He focuses carefully on Ronan's youth, beauty and innocence to make you understand just how much violence is being done to her.
After she makes the unwise decision to follow her new would-be lover to Moscow we hear that her life has been, entirely predictably, turned upside down. At first Trigorin is infatuated with his young lover but soon he tires of her demands. Then we hear that her stage work has been lampooned, pulling another rung from underneath her. Finally we learn that she has been reduced to working for a theatrical touring company, where she travels by rail in third class with her social inferiors.
Nina is a complex and troubled character, in other words, and her journey from innocence to bitter experience represents a career high for Ronan, who finds the humanity in her character and makes you feel her desolation.
Despite his cruel mistreatment Nina still tragically loves the man who has abandoned her. When she's briefly reunited with the still doting Konstantin he finds that he cannot rekindle the flame she once carried for him, she can't even save herself, so she takes off into the night alone, taking her first steps toward an uncertain and probably lonely future.
In this version of The Seagull, the most lucid and economical version I have ever seen, it's the two women – Ronan and Bening – who makes the greatest impression as two sides of a life experience that compromise and inconsideration have marked where they have not deformed.
As Nina, Ronan gives the most vulnerable and unforgettable performance she has brought to the screen to date, finding the modernity in the classic drama by going straight to the play and her character's beating heart.
The Seagull works its magic on you quietly, until by the end it leaves you gasping at the sheer poetry of what happens. It looks like a dream but its edges cut deep.

In my solution, I created a simple order look up system that uses an AWS Lambda function to look up order information from an Amazon DynamoDB table. My customers can call the phone number assigned to my Amazon Connect instance, and are prompted to enter their order number when the call is answered.
I created a simple Amazon Connect contact flow that takes the order number the customer enters, and invokes the Lambda function for the simple order system to look up that order number in my order database in Amazon DynamoDB. Using the data retrieved from the DynamoDB table, I create a message in a text-to-speech block that tells the customer whether their package has shipped, the estimated delivery date, and which carrier it shipped with. The customer is then presented with an option to be transferred to the that carrier to get more information. If they choose Yes by pressing 1, they are transferred and the contact flow ends.
Would you like to get more information about this package from $.External.carrier? Press 1 for yes, or 2 to end this call.
value I looked up in DynamoDB earlier.
Scenario 2: Resuming the contact flow after transfer.
In this scenario, I return the customer to the Amazon Connect contact flow, in this case to for a post-call survey. I use the survey to make sure that the carrier resolved their issue, and if not, connect the customer to an agent for additional assistance.
conversation with the shipping carrier is completed, the customer is returned to Amazon Connect and the contact flow resumes after the Transfer to phone number block.
Using these new options, I can specify actions to take when those scenarios happen while the customer is still on the line. In this case, if the carrier didn't resolve the issue for the customer, or the call did not complete successfully, I offer to let them speak to an agent.
You can see in the updated contact flow how I check whether the carrier solved the problem in the Get customer input block. If the issue is resolved, I ask them to fill out a post-call survey in the Store customer input block. If the carrier did not resolve the issue, I use a Transfer to queue block, which places the caller in a queue for an agent.
Continuing to extend my solution, I want to transfer the customer to the carrier, but not make them enter their order number again. Since I know the tracking number, I can build an integration on top of the carrier's order look up system, and then send DTMF tones on the customer's behalf. When the customer is connected to the carrier, their tracking number has already been entered and the tracking information is retrieved and ready to provide to the customer.
To do this, I added DTMF tones in our Transfer to phone number block. Using additional DTMF characters that are recognized by the carrier's IVR order lookup system, such as using commas for pause, I can provide the correct values to the automated system. In my example, I used an AWS Lambda function to create the correct sequence of numbers and commas to interact with the carrier's system, and saved that string as an attribute named "CarrierNumberWithTracking". The attribute looks something like this when formatted: "18001234567,,,1,,,1,,,12345".
This example assumes that the automated system requests that you press 1 twice to get to the menu where you enter the tracking number (12345). The customer doesn't hear any of the DTMF tones or pauses, and is magically connected to the carrier with the tracking number already provided as though the customer had entered it.
Feel free to give try out the demo I built for this article by calling: 1-203-689-7523. You can try order numbers 1111, 2222, or 3333. In my example, I don't connect the call to carriers (since I don't have real tracking numbers), and instead just play a prompt to simulate how it would be connected. This whole demo took me less than an hour to build, and hopefully highlights some of the simple and powerful experiences you can create with Amazon Connect. I found that I could easily automate one of the most common questions a business might have so that agents can focus on the tougher problems. I hope these scenarios inspire you to build more cool automated scenarios for your business!


Unfortunately, serious workplace injuries are relatively common in the United States. Statistics show that thousands of people are killed – and millions of people are injured – on an annual basis. In North Carolina, all workplace accidents that result in injury, regardless of fault, are covered by workers' compensation. In addition to common workplace injuries and accidents, NC workers' compensation laws also cover diseases contracted in the workplace and other employment-related injuries.
A lot of jobs require strenuous physical activities. As a result, a lot of workplace injuries come from overwork, or overexertion, so much so that it is the single most common workplace injury. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from overwork are covered by workers' compensation.
Everyday people slip or trip and fall, seriously injuring themselves. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from a slip or trip and fall are covered by workers' compensation.
People who fall have a chance of suffering serious injuries. Even falls from as little as 6 inches above the ground can result in serious injuries. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from a fall are covered by workers' compensation.
When an employee slips, but doesn't fall, they can still be injured by trying to catch themselves, or prevent their fall. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from a fall, or caused by preventing a fall, are covered by workers' compensation.
Objects falling on employees can cause serious injuries. Even objects falling from as little as 6 inches can be dangerous because they often hit a worker's head sometimes causing serious brain injuries. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from falling objects are covered by workers' compensation.
People often hurt themselves by accidentally walking into hard and unyielding objects such as doors, tables, walls and equipment. Sometimes just bumping your knee on a table/desk, your shoulder on a door/wall, or your hand on a piece of equipment, can result in injuries that require surgery. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from bumping into a hard and unyielding object are covered by workers' compensation.
Given the sheer number of vehicular accidents that occur on the road, it should be no surprise to learn that people who drive as part of their job are susceptible to such accidents and injuries. Unfortunately, regardless of how good a driver you are, there is no way to guard against other drivers on the road. In North Carolina, most all employees who are injured while driving for work have a claim for workers' compensation benefits, and possibly a claim against the other driver. Even if the car accident was your fault, or if there were no other cars involved, you can still get workers' compensation benefits.
Machine entanglement injuries happen when body parts (hair, fingers, hands, arms, feet, legs, etc.) get caught in machinery. Protective equipment and policies can help, but we often see workers injured by machinery where proper equipment was not provided, safe guards were removed, safety stops were nonexistent, or lockout procedures were not followed. Regardless of how these injuries occurred and regardless of who was at fault, in North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from machine entanglement are covered by workers' compensation.
Many jobs involve repetitive motions such as assembly line work, or even office work. Repetitive motion can put cumulative strain on the same muscles and tendons over and over, causing serious medical conditions to develop. In North Carolina, most all workplace injuries resulting from repetitive motion are covered by workers' compensation.
Unfortunately, as we all know, workplace violence is a problem in the United States. Disagreements with other employees at work can sometimes lead to physical injuries, even death, when one employee assaults another. Sometimes the victim of workplace violence is an innocent bystander injured by a disgruntled employee who is lashing out at the employer. In North Carolina, most all injuries resulting from workplace violence are covered by workers' compensation.

At first glance, this monogram set would seem to fit perfectly with "mid-century" design styles from the 1950s, so it will come as a surprise that the artwork was drawn in 1902. Smooth and angular satin stitch letters make this a good choice for evoking outer space and computers, even though it was designed 50 years before.

HIZENTRA® (Immune Globulin Subcutaneous [Human] 20% Liquid) Receives Orphan-Drug Exclusivity for the Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
First and only subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) approved for maintenance therapy in CIDP qualifies for marketing exclusivity
CSL Behring
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global biotherapeutics leader CSL Behring announced today that Hizentra received orphan-drug exclusivity from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) as maintenance therapy to prevent relapse of neuromuscular disability and impairment. CIDP is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nerves and has the potential to cause significant disability.
Hizentra was approved by the FDA in March 2018 for the treatment of adults with CIDP to prevent relapse of neuromuscular disability and impairment. It is the first and only 20 percent subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) approved for this indication. The approval was based on data from the Phase III PATH (Polyneuropathy And Treatment with Hizentra) study, the largest controlled clinical study in CIDP patients to date. In the PATH trial, patients taking Hizentra relapsed or withdrew less often than those taking placebo. Patients in the study also maintained their grip strength as well as upper and lower body strength.
The FDA's decision regarding the orphan drug status of Hizentra provides CSL Behring a seven- year period of U.S. marketing exclusivity for Hizentra in the maintenance treatment of CIDP with SCIg. The FDA Office of Orphan Products Development grants orphan designation for novel drugs or biologics that treat a rare disease or condition affecting fewer than 200,000 patients in the U.S. and qualifies incentives for companies that invest in research and development of these medications.
"Orphan drug exclusivity is a significant milestone for the CSL Behring team committed to delivering Hizentra and improving the lives of patients diagnosed with CIDP," said Bob Lojewski, Senior Vice President and General Manager, North America, CSL Behring. "We are proud to be the only company to offer an innovative portfolio of subcutaneous and intravenous immunoglobulin therapies for CIDP. Driven by our promise, we will continue our work to fulfill the needs of patients with serious conditions like CIDP."
About Hizentra
Registered in more than 60 countries, Hizentra is the world's most prescribed SCIg and has a proven track record of safety, efficacy, and tolerability, with more than 6.7 million exposures worldwide since 2010. Hizentra was first approved by the U.S. FDA in March 2010 for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI). For more information about Hizentra, including the U.S. prescribing information, visit www.hizentra.com.
About CIDP
CIDP is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nerves (those outside the brain and spinal cord) and damages the protective covering of the nerves known as the myelin sheath. This may result in numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms. CIDP effects can worsen over time, leading to significant activity limitations and a decreased quality of life. CIDP can occur at any age and is more common in men than in women. The GBS/CIDP Foundation estimates that approximately 30 percent of CIDP patients will progress to wheelchair dependence if not treated. The Foundation also estimates that the incidence of CIDP in the U.S. is as high as two in 100,000 people each year, with the accumulation of cases over time resulting in prevalence as high as nine in 100,000 in some areas.
Important Hizentra Safety Information for the U.S.
Hizentra®, Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Liquid, is indicated for:
Treatment of primary immunodeficiency (PI) in adults and pediatric patients 2 years and older.
Maintenance therapy in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) to prevent relapse of neuromuscular disability and impairment.
Limitation of use: Maintenance therapy in CIDP has been systematically studied for 6 months and for a further 12 months in a follow-up study. Continued maintenance beyond these periods should be individualized based on patient response and need for continued therapy.
For subcutaneous infusion only.
WARNING: Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products, including Hizentra. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors.
For patients at risk of thrombosis, administer Hizentra at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.
Hizentra is contraindicated in patients with a history of anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to human immune globulin (Ig) or components of Hizentra (eg, polysorbate 80), as well as in patients with immunoglobulin A deficiency with antibodies against IgA and a history of hypersensitivity. Because Hizentra contains L-proline as stabilizer, use in patients with hyperprolinemia is contraindicated.
IgA-deficient patients with anti-IgA antibodies are at greater risk of severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. Thrombosis may occur following treatment with Ig products, including Hizentra.
Monitor patients for aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS), which may occur following treatment with Ig products, including Hizentra. In patients at risk of acute renal failure, monitor renal function, including blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and urine output. In addition, monitor patients for clinical signs of hemolysis or pulmonary adverse reactions (eg, transfusion-related acute lung injury [TRALI]).
Hizentra is derived from human blood. The risk of transmission of infectious agents, including viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent and its variant (vCJD), cannot be completely eliminated.
The most common adverse reactions (observed in ≥5% of study subjects) were local infusion-site reactions, as well as headache, diarrhea, fatigue, back pain, nausea, extremity pain, cough, upper respiratory tract infection, rash, pruritus, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, migraine, arthralgia, pain, fall, and nasopharyngitis.
The passive transfer of antibodies can interfere with response to live virus vaccines and lead to misinterpretation of serologic test results.
Please see full prescribing information for Hizentra.

Two Piece Idler Sprocket Manufacturing & Assembly by Lutco, Inc.
Idler sprockets are used in a variety of power transmission applications. Lutco manufactures custom two piece idler sprockets combining stamping, machining and bearing capabilities. Lutco's wide variety of options allows customizing in order to respond to the application demands.
Within the sizes available it has been common to use a welded assembly with a Lutco bearing. In cases where higher load or speed requires a precision bearing this can be accommodated by trapping the bearing in the assembly. In addition, if misalignment is a problem, sprockets can be hardened and riveted. With either the Lutco or precision bearing a variety of bores can be accommodated. In addition to component modification, exterior seals or metal shields resist contamination and wrapping.
Check with the factory for size and number of teeth availability in standard or extended pitch units.
