I went painting yesterday, rushing to paint the shadows between the trees as the sun sank behind them and my toes and fingers grew colder and colder.
Birch tree study, 6 x 8 inch, plein air, oil on linen/birch.
The air was icy, and stung. Still, as I went up the hill and saw the moon rising I stopped and tried to catch that in paint too. The results were pretty messy, and I ran out of light (and working fingers) too soon. And then my easel had a problem, and I lugged it home, up hill, without folding it up. I wouldn't recommend the practice.
Still, getting to see that moon, away from the yard lights, rising above the dark trees, lighting up the snowy hillsides, was worth it. And I hope my messy little painting will be a useful study and help bring it all to mind again.
The pups are always up for some aimless wandering!
After backtracking, I headed east and found a good vantage point on top of some round bales. It was a little warmer there, not being directly on the snow, but it was not out of the wind.
Feeling rusty and running out of time? Better try two paintings.
I was really hoping to catch the moonrise, but with the clouds moving in I wasn't sure I'd see it at all, and I also wasn't quite sure where it would appear, making it difficult to do any blocking-in or preliminary sketching beforehand.
In the meantime, the sky to the south and west was getting better and better. Time to move some paint!
I was still working on the trees in the foreground when the moon came up. Then it was a sprint, getting as much information painted as I could before the moon disappeared behind the next cloud, or the light changed too much.
The last colors of sunset.
I recently got a couple of music stand lights to try using as easel lights (as an improvement over last summer's phone-flashlight nocturne attempts). I meant to save them for spring, but it was so mild today (and I am impatient) that I brought one of them along. It worked well! Most of the painting was done while I could still see my palette, but things get a bit iffy when the light gets too dim. I could still see my subject well enough, but it was harder to tell just what color I was mixing. It also helped to see when cleaning up!
Moonrise study, and sunset study, 6 x 8 inch, plein air, oil on linen/hardboard.

A Big Important Art Book (Now with Women) — Hi! I'm Kat Sturges...Loving the Creative Life!
I've been slowly reading the book "A Big Important Art Book (Now with Women) by Danielle Krysa, and it is totally changing the way I view art! For the most part my view of women in art has been limited to art i see on social media. Sure I have been to the local museum a few times, I've seen art by the masters. But so few of them were women!
In the past of course there were women artists but they were not celebrated as often as male artists were. I truly feel that is changing today. But more than that, as a hobby artist my vision of what art is and can be has been limited because I never went to school for art. This book is giving me a different definition of what art is, and it is stretching me in new ways to grow as a creative. Professional art is often concept driven and relies more on the story behind the work rather than just on the work itself. And art and craft can come together to produce a concept that is greater than the sum of its parts.
I'm learning about all these fabulous female artists who are taking the art world by storm! It is so inspirational to see what women are creating. One interesting thing is that many women go to school and begin by majoring in painting and then change their focus to other mediums over the course of their schooling.
I feel challenged to bring together my fabric arts and visual skills in new and totally exciting ways. I'm not sure what the new year holds for my art but it feels incredible to be thinking outside the box and trying out some new things.

Stellenbosch University Economic Impact
The economic impact of Stellenbosch University on the Stellenbosch region is estimated to be R5 644 million* in 2018.
A recent study by the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) at Stellenbosch University (SU) calculated the extent of the University's significant impact on the economy of the Stellenbosch region.
Some of the core findings are:
The SU economic impact on output in the local economy is R5 644* million
Contributing to this are students (61%), staff (23%), creditor payments (14%) and diverse payments (2.5%)
More than 15% of production (or output) and more than 18% of gross value added generated in the local economy, is stimulated by the presence of the University.
SU's expenditure on creditors in local economy is R352,38* million
SU sustains 13 406 fulltime job equivalents) in the local economy – this equates to SU sustaining more than 21% of the formal work opportunities and 8,7% of the informal opportunities.
The presence of SU also generates R1 223.5* million in labour remuneration In summary, almost one fifth of the economic activity in the region can be attributed to the activities of the University and its people.
The aim of the study was to give a rigourous and credible assessment and measurement of the economic contribution of the University to the economy of the Stellenbosch Municipal area.
Although not quantifiable in monetary terms, SU could also be described as an anchor institution, which stimulates additional benefits in the region. Examples for these include research centre STIAS, the University's technology transfer company Innovus, Maties Sport and the US Woordfees. The value of such institutions cannot adequately be expressed in short-term economic terms. Their value spreads much further into broader society and effects the very nature of the environment and people's lives.
There are also considerable intangible benefits of having a university present, such as the the attraction of talent (students, entrpreneurs and professionals) the promotion of spin-off companies as well as other cultural and socio-economic benefits. Overall, the economic benefits of a university stretches beyond the primary role of being a knowledge centre and driving force of innovation within a region.
"It is clear that the benefit of having an institution such as SU in Stellenbosch is very significant and extends beyond the direct economic benefits and fundamentally uplifts and enhances the Stellenbosch community. Not only is the University labour intensive in that it creates more wealth than its relative size, but it acts as catalyst in luring investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders alike while also actively contributing to Stellenbosch as Knowledge Region. Of equal importance however is that the study reveals that the University is indeed the kind of university SU aspirtes to be: Africa's leading research-intensive University, globally recognised as inclusive and innovative, where we advance knowledge in service of society."
Prof Stan du Plessis, Chief Operation Officer of Stellenbosch University
* The research was conducted during 2017 using 2016 actual values. To arrive at 2018 Rand values the final consumer price index for 2017 was used plus the BER estimated CPI for 2018.

A dressing gown is one of those things which stealthily becomes part of daily life, much like flossing or avoiding eye contact while on the tube. There's likely one hanging on the back of your bedroom door, or – should you be reading this on a particularly dreary Sunday – draped across your torso while you consider the best excuse for calling in sick tomorrow morning. Which is to say, the dressing gown perhaps deserves a little more attention than is often bestowed, which is why we've decided to give it just that.
Before the Big Lebowski or even Hugh Hefner, it was Silk Road traders who first introduced the dressing gown to Europe in the 17th century. Returning from the Indian subcontinent with teas, spices and silks, they'd regale friends and families with tales of kimono sleeves and flowing silk banyans – a garment which became the dressing gown's precursor. Originally cut with a T-shaped body and wide sleeves, the banyan was to be worn at home but carried a cultural cache. Imagine the 17th century equivalent of that friend whose reply to "where did you get that jacket" is "oh this? I picked it up at a flea market just outside of Lisbon".
Throughout the 1600s, aristocratic Europeans would pose for portraits wearing a banyan, often accompanied by a silk turban. By the 1670s London had at least five merchants dedicated to the morning gown, as it became known, with the style evolving to feature set-in sleeves and a more form-fitting silhouette. When smoking Turkish tobacco became popular during the mid 19th century, the gown was cut shorter and rechristened the smoking jacket, worn now to protect clothing from the smell of a pipe.
Dressing gown, house coat or bathrobe?
What's in a name? A surprising amount, actually. Take the word banyan – it comes from a Gujarati term for a Hindu merchant. It's thought that the first dressing gowns were given this name by Europeans who (mistakenly) envisioned traders swishing around in silken gowns. The Asian influence also resulted in the names Indian gown or Japanese gown, which eventually gave way to morning gown and - today – dressing gown. The modern moniker comes from the etiquette of donning one in the period between waking and getting dressed proper (though personally, we can get through an entire day in ours). Some prefer the term housecoat, implying (correctly) that it's something suitable for wearing anytime, as long as you're at home. A bathrobe is a slightly different proposition – made of absorbent towelling, it's something to be thrown on when getting out of the shower, which we'd advise against doing with our cotton and wool dressing gowns.

Q: Which statistical test to use (repeated measures ANOVA?) I am a student conducting a clinical trial for my thesis. We have two independent variables: (1) time point (pre-test, post-test) and (2) control v. experimental group.
We'll be measuring about 6 or 7 continuous outcome variables (repeated measures at times one and two) to see if the experimental group benefits from the intervention.
I'm pretty rusty in statistics at this point and could use a starting point.

A: Yes, you could use repeated measures Anova (RMA). HOWEVER, but I would suggest to use mixed effects models with patient id as random effects instead (RMA is a type of mixed effects models).
See this answer here going into more detail: https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/237294/343024.
To demonstrate how I would proceed here in R, let's assume your response is y, you have independent variables Time (pre, post) and Group (Control, Treat). All study participants have a unique id and have y recorded at both pre and post:
Create the dataset dd:
dd<-data.frame(id=rep(c(1:6000),2),
               Time=rep(c("pre","post"), each=6000),
               Group=rep(rep(c("Treat","Control"),2), each=3000),
               y=c(rnorm(3000,90,5), rnorm(3000,87,5), rnorm(3000,70,5), rnorm(3000,88,5)))

Make pre reference level:
dd$Time=relevel(as.factor(dd$Time), ref="pre")

Plot your data:
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
boxplot(y~Time+Group, dd)

Now fit the repeated measures Anova:
maov<- aov(y ~ Group*Time + Error(id), dd)
summary(maov)

Error: id
      Df Sum Sq Mean Sq
Group  1 125676  125676

Error: Within
              Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value              Pr(>F)
Group          1  40480   40480    1635 <0.0000000000000002 ***
Time           1 272975  272975   11029 <0.0000000000000002 ***
Group:Time     1 336772  336772   13606 <0.0000000000000002 ***
Residuals  11995 296894      25

As you can see, your response y differs (P<0.0001) for variables Group, Time, and in particular the interaction term Group:Time (indicating that y changes differently between Control and Treat).
Now we can fit a mixed effects model using R-paclage lme4:
me1<-lmer(y~Time+Group+Group:Time+(1|id), dd)
summary(me1)

Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
Formula: y ~ Time + Group + Group:Time + (1 | id)
   Data: dd

REML criterion at convergence: 72568.4

Scaled residuals:
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max
-3.9053 -0.6769  0.0024  0.6698  3.7353

Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Variance Std.Dev.
 id       (Intercept)  0.00    0.000
 Residual             24.75    4.975
Number of obs: 12000, groups:  id, 6000

Fixed effects:
                     Estimate Std. Error  t value
(Intercept)          86.91326    0.09083  956.880

GroupTreat            3.15322    0.12845   24.548
Timepost:GroupTreat -21.19032    0.18166 -116.648

You can see straight away from:

*

*the coefficient for Time, that your response y in Control (reference level in variable Group) increased by 1.05620 from pre (reference level in variable Time) to post

*the coefficient for Group, that your response y in Treat at reference-Time pre was 3.15322 higher than in Control

*the change from pre to post in Treat was 21.19032 lower than Control, which is your difference of interest between both groups.

Be aware that per default, R-package lme4 does not provide p-values (for good reasons). However, there are ways to obtain them by using for example package lmerTest:
library(lmerTest)
anova(me1)

It's not everyday you get to sit down at a table with Rumpelstiltskin and Captain Hook let alone get to hear how they feel about the dramatic turn in ABC's Once Upon a Time. Robert Carlyle brings Rumpelstiltskin to life and trickster who could spin straw into gold nand talks about the benefits of the switch in tone for the newest season of the show. The pillaging Pirate known as Captain Hook jumps off the page and onto the screen with the help of Colin O'Donoghue discusses the ambitiousness of the writing behind the up coming season. An unlikely pair of fiendish foes who take us all to the edge of our seats in the live action adaptation of our favorite fairy tales.
O'Donoghue plays a pirate well and does a good job at praising the drastic switch in speed of the show overall specifically noting how Kitsis & Horowitz are brave to do so. With the inclusion of new cast members bringing us new characters breaths fresh air into a series that the fans have come to know and love but the new season will be as O'Donoghue notes, "a new experience" hopefully for the better. With the change in Henry's age it does beg the question whether or not the classic antagonists aged with him. Carlyle notes how the characters themselves are hundreds of years old and that the few years that Henry has aged affects neither him nor Hook. The game is changing in the world of Once Upon a Time and we are all eagerly awaiting to see where our favorite heroes and villains end up in the new territory.

The emergence of infectious diseases is of particular interest at present, with high-profile diseases such as Ebola and MERS Coronavirus causing widespread public concern alongside the potential for societal disruption. Whilst the term 'emerging' is commonly used to describe newly evolved or previously undetected diseases, it may also apply to pathogens that are increasing their geographic spread and impact, or moving into human hosts for the first time. The relationship between humans and animals plays an important role in disease emergence; it is estimated that 60 – 80% of newly emerging infections are zoonotic in origin (capable of transmission from animals to humans). Disease emergence is not a new phenomenon, and the changes in disease dynamics that lead to an emergence 'event' represent a natural evolutionary response by the pathogen to constantly changing conditions. However, evolutionary pressures brought about by human-induced (anthropogenic) changes on the environment such as urbanisation, are projected to increase the frequency of pathogen emergence in the future.
Urbanisation is predicted to increase most rapidly in developing countries, with huge population increases projected for urban centres in Africa. Without adequate urban planning, fast rates of urban growth are likely to have knock-on effects for healthcare, sanitation and food production, that may affect the dynamics of disease transmission in these areas. Through our research, we aim to investigate the role that varying degrees of urbanisation play in the emergence of new human or livestock pathogens.


The new model for the BMW X1 has been released in to the market. This particular line of cars has become very popular from the day the very first model was launched in to the market. The second generation of this line has been released. More than 730000 units of this particular model have already been sold. A large number of orders and bookings have also been placed for this model. The car boasts of a very solid engineering that guarantees a dynamic performance and great safety. The car has also been optimized for the maximum efficiency. The fuel consumption has been reduced by almost seventeen percent in this all new model. Thus without sacrificing on the quality of the performance delivered, this car also becomes eco friendly and green. The car is the ideal model for the next generation of driving technology. There are a number of new technological features that this new model boasts of among which are included LED lights, a dynamic damper control, a display for head up and an assistant plus system for the driver.
The basic look of this new model is rugged. It has a very powerful presence with dynamic lines all over the body. The height has been increased from the previous model and is now 53 millimeters in total. The space inside the car has also increased greatly with this new height. The seating positions have been raised by 36 millimeters at the front and 64 millimeters at the back of the car. This provides more comfort for the passengers. The new position also improves the view of the driver. Ultimately the new dimensions improve the safety and the comfort of the car to a great extent. A lot of weight has also been saved. The front and rear axle as well as the clutch have been designed to save up on weight and make the car as light weight as it is possible to make.
The car uses a completely new generation of engines. This engine decreases the combined consumption of fuel and carbon to a great degree. There will be two petrol units and three diesel units available for this model from the day of its launch. The output of this engine will vary from 110 kW at 150 hp to around 170 kW at 231 hp. There will also be a six speed gearbox that may be adjusted manually or a Spectronic gearbox of eight speeds. These are completely new developments to technology and offer the driver with more control during driving.
The new model of this car boasts of a number of new updates on the technological front. These include the Driving Assistant Plus for the Active Cruise Control System. This provides much more control and safety over the car than the previous model. Other safety features include the lane departure warning system, the traffic jam assistant system, the collision warning and the pedestrian warning among other technological advantages. There is also a city braking system. All of these technologies help the car and provide a better system in order to avoid unwanted mishaps and accidents.
A number of new additions have been made to the exterior including LED headlights for daytime as well and night time driving along with some other features.
The interior of the new model has been designed to provide the best in the line of comfort and infotainment. The new architecture with the raised setting provides for more space in the interior of the car. This makes the experience of long journeys over most terrains and easy and comfortable.

"Mattituck's strengths were generally identified as its open spaces and agricultural areas, cultural facilities, beaches and recreational areas … Another major strength is the Hamlet Center itself and the Love Lane business district, the sense of place created there, its walkability and shops … The primary weaknesses identified in Mattituck are the hodgepodge, unattractive, strip development along Route 25 west of the Hamlet Center [and] heavy, fast moving traffic …"
Town of Southold Hamlet Study, July 2005
"The residents of Mattituck and the Town Board have growing concerns regarding the type of development and redevelopment which could occur in Mattituck as well as other concerns regarding growth, land use compatibility, traffic and aesthetics. In order to protect and enhance the area's resources and ensure appropriate development and redevelopment activities in the future, the Town has authorized this focused study to formulate a vision for the corridor."
Town of Southold Mattituck Business Corridor Study, January 2011
"Future planning shall be compatible with existing community character while supporting and addressing the challenges of continued land preservation, maintaining a vibrant local economy, creating efficient transportation, promoting a diverse housing stock, expanding recreational opportunities and protecting natural resources."
From the "Vision Statement for Southold Town," Comprehensive Plan Update (Draft) 2016
Since 2015, the Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association (MLCA) has sponsored 11 public forums to revisit and reconsider the findings of the Town's Mattituck Business Corridor Study and the Town's Hamlet Study, and to contribute to the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan Update's "Goals and Issues for Mattituck/Laurel." Based on the community's input during those meetings and this information researched by the civic's Land Use Committee, the MLCA here makes three requests to the Town of Southold.
These three requests respond to pressure on this community from tourism, population growth, and development that is out-pacing municipal resources, taxing natural resources, and damaging quality of life. This pressure has been persistent for decades and will continue. This community cannot wait for the well-informed recommendations of 2005, 2011 and 2016-17 to be implemented. To wait for implementation of the Town's ongoing Comprehensive Plan Update seems to watch, not manage, change.
Zoning in Southold Town was last overhauled in the late 1980s and early 90s with zone designations largely determined by then-existing uses. In the decades since, visits to and development of these hamlets (and the Town) have surged. Management of growth struggles to keep pace in part because of dated land use regulations, zoning code and Comprehensive Plan, and unimplemented recommendations from 2005 and 2011.
One example of the pressure is what the 2005 Hamlet Study calls the Love Lane Business District. On the north side of Main Road the picturesque, thriving, and pedestrian-friendly magnet of Love Lane is flanked by churches, professional offices and small businesses. On the other side of Main Road, on the south side of the highway's curve between New Suffolk and Wickham avenues, are at least eight properties of assorted sizes, shapes and uses. If, for example, these eight properties (5.8 acres) are assembled and developed, the potential buildout could exceed 60,000 square feet of structures. For comparison, the CVS building on Main Road is about 15,000 square feet.
Between these two largely commercially zoned areas passes Main Road. Its fast-moving, heavy-volume traffic dominates where Main Road, Love Lane and Old Sound Avenue meet. The dysfunction here is detailed in MLCA's 2016 Traffic Calming Project Report to Southold Town and extensive video. Our report was based on more than a year of public input and it calls for safety-first, pedestrian-friendly actions that protect the Love Lane/Old Sound Avenue neighborhood while calming and better managing through-traffic. MLCA is working with the Town and its traffic engineering contractor to bring public participation and sensible, affordable improvements to this intersection and two others nearby, Wickham and New Suffolk avenues.
Meanwhile, what can be expected to occur in our communities is development and redevelopment that increases traffic and environmental stress while diminishing quality of life. Pressure is most intense on Main Road between Factory and Reeve avenues, but can extend from Riverhead Town through Mattituck and into eastern Southold Town.
MLCA also asks the broad community to join the discussion of these and other strategic growth principles that contribute to the common good because they:
Preserve and protect the environment
Calm traffic patterns
Create walkable neighborhoods
Strengthen the local economy
Mix land uses
Create housing opportunities and choices
Foster distinctive, attractive neighborhoods.
In the balance of this report, MLCA outlines the three requests and provides supporting information about the common goods outlined above. Supporting information includes:
The Town's Mattituck Hamlet Study (2005),
Mattituck Business Corridor Study (2011),
input from the 11 MLCA public forums between January 2016 and June 2017, an MLCA community survey,
the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan Update (Draft 2016), and other documents and primary sources (see Bibliography).
REQUEST 1: Work with the broad community now to plan active management of seasonal traffic issues in western Southold Town this year, including:
A. Main Road and Sound Avenue/North Road
B. Between the Southold-Riverhead town line to the west and Mill Lane/Mill Road to the east
C. Special emphasis on Main Road between Bay Avenue and Mill Lane, especially intersections of Main Road and New Suffolk and Wickham avenues.
REQUEST 2, PART 1: As recommended in the Mattituck Business Corridor Study, initiate the process for rezoning land parcels in Study Area III (as described on Page 56 below and shown in Figure 7-B on the next page).
The first aspect of this recommendation focuses on parcels mostly on the south side of Main Road between Bay and New Suffolk avenues. The intent is to better: 1) mirror the Residential Office (RO) zoning on the north side of Main Road; 2) provide a better transition away from traffic and commercial use to residential use as one moves away from Main Road; and, 3) encourage redevelopment as opposed to development, as the Business (B) and Hamlet Business (HB) zoning tend to do.
REQUEST 2, PART 2: In accordance with the Community Character and Land Use Chapters of the Town of Southold Comprehensive Plan Update, initiate the process for rezoning from Hamlet Business (HB) to Residential Office (RO) land parcels on Franklinville Road, Laurel.
The Comprehensive Plan Update treats Mattituck and Laurel as one community for statistical purposes, yet recognizes "they are two distinct places with regard to their character and scale." The Update further describes commercial development: "Laurel contains a small hamlet center located just off Route 25, comprised of just a few businesses. Another large group of businesses stretch along Route 25 from the train trestle east. Most of the HB zoning is in Mattituck in the Love Lane area, though Laurel has a small amount near Route 25 on Franklinville Road."
The Community Character Chapter contains as a goal improving the "viability, functioning and aesthetics without changing the scale of the hamlet centers". One of the objectives to achieve this goal is an evaluation of "uses within the HB and B zoning districts for appropriateness of intensity within each Hamlet Center and surrounding areas." This concern for scale is prominent within the Update. It is repeated in the Goals/ Issues for Mattituck/Laurel section: "Ensure future commercial development in the hamlet center is at a scale consistent with the hamlet's character."
The Land Use Chapter also includes as a town-wide goal: "Ensure that the existing zoning is appropriately located and the uses are of the appropriate scale and intensity for the location, and are consistent with the other goals of this Comprehensive Plan." One objective to achieve this goal is required analyses which includes, in part, an examination of "each permitted use in the hamlet centers for impacts, including traffic, parking, water use, noise and lighting."
A significant number of uses permitted within the HB zone would be entirely inappropriate for the Laurel business district. Uses permitted within the RO zone, however, are more nearly compatible with existing business development there, in part because they are less likely to increase traffic significantly. Traffic volume on Franklinville Road has increased dramatically since the Main Road realignment in the early 1980s.
REQUEST 3: Join stakeholders in an MLCA-hosted charrette [1] to gather broad input on a) the center of Mattituck (5.8 acres in 8 parcels zoned HB on the south side of Main Road between New Suffolk and Wickham avenues; image below), and b) Mattituck-Laurel business districts, and address these questions:
How can the community best prepare for the next wave of growth and development pressure in our hamlets?
How do we arrive at a baseline towards achieving the best and highest use for all stakeholders?
Would a stakeholders' plan that accommodates commercial, residential and/or recreational activity be beneficial and welcomed by the Town?
[1] Charrette – A series of public meeting in which all stakeholders in a project attempt to map solutions.
[2] Stakeholder(s) -- Any person with any interest in a project.

Application Process Now Live for Michigan Small Business Relief Program Funding
Michigan's small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 virus can now apply for grants and loans through the Michigan Small Business Relief Program, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced today. The program will provide up to $20 million in grants and loans to provide economic assistance to Michigan's small businesses that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 virus, and in turn help support workers and their families facing economic uncertainty during the outbreak. Information on how to apply, as well as eligibility criteria, is available at www.michiganbusiness.org/covid19.
"Small businesses across our state are facing unprecedented challenges as we take every step possible to mitigate the spread of coronavirus," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "With this funding, we can provide real assistance to support our businesses, communities, entrepreneurs and workers around the state impacted by the tough, but necessary actions we are taking to mitigate the spread of this virus."
The grants and loans under the Michigan Small Business Relief Program will support businesses facing drastic reductions in cash flow and the continued support of their workforce and may be used for working capital to support payroll expenses, rent, mortgage payments, utility expenses, or other similar expenses that occur in the ordinary course of business.
Key information to know about the application process includes:
There is one application, regardless of whether a business is applying for a grant or a loan. A business may receive a grant or a loan, but not both.
Businesses who do not receive grants may still be considered for loans.
The grants will be administrated by 15 regional economic development organizations throughout the state, which combined cover all 83 counties in Michigan.
All applications or recommendations for Michigan Small Business Relief Program loans will be referred from the partner EDOs to the MEDC for evaluation and disbursement.
Businesses should go to https://www.michiganbusiness.org/covid19/ to apply.
The Michigan Small Business Relief Program grants, authorized by the Michigan Strategic Fund on March 19, will be administered by 15 local and nonprofit economic development organizations (EDOs) around Michigan, covering all 83 counties in the state. These EDOs are responsible for reviewing applications of small businesses in their region and entering into agreements with eligible small businesses. Each EDO will establish a review committee that may include representatives from local workforce agencies, local SBDC representatives, business and nonprofit leaders, among others. The full list of EDOs administering Michigan Small Business Relief grants and the counties they will serve is below.
Local and nonprofit EDOs across Michigan applied for the grant funds and were selected based on capacity to administer the program and ensure coverage to small businesses in all 83 counties in Michigan.

Covid-19 Health News
3 In 4 UK Adults Receive Both Doses Of A Covid-19 Vaccine
August 11, 2021 Health, News, Vaccine
More than three quarters of adults in the UK have now received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, as the public continues to do what it can to protect themselves, their loved ones and their community.
A total of 86,780,455 doses have been administered in the UK, with 47,091,889 people receiving a first dose (89%) and 39,688,566 people receiving both doses (75%).
Data from Public Health England (PHE) shows COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective against hospitalisation from the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant. The analysis shows the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 96% effective and the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is 92% effective against hospitalisation after two doses.
The latest data from Public Health England and Cambridge University shows that around 60,000 deaths, 22 million infections and 66,900 hospitalisations have been prevented by the vaccines.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
"Our incredible vaccine rollout has now provided vital protection against the virus to three quarters of all UK adults. This is a huge national achievement, which we should all be proud of.
"It's so important that those who haven't been vaccinated come forward as soon as possible to book their jab – to protect themselves, protect their loved ones and allow us all to enjoy our freedoms safely."
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said:
"Three in four adults across the UK have now had both doses of the vaccine, which is incredible and a testament to the fantastic work of the NHS, volunteers and everyone involved in the rollout.
"Getting two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine is the key to enjoying a host of new freedoms safely – whether that be to enjoy a trip abroad with family or a night out with friends – as we continue to build our wall of protection.
"The vaccines are allowing us to reconnect with the things we love, but more than that, they're protecting the people we love too.
"Please make sure to come forward for your jab if you haven't already as soon as possible."
The government is working closely with the NHS to make it as easy as possible to get a vaccine, including through 'grab a jab' pop-up vaccine sites across the country – for example, at London-based club Heaven last weekend (Sunday 8 August) as well as football stadiums and festivals up and down the country.
People can make an appointment through the national booking system either online or by calling 119, and can use a vaccination centre, walk-in centre, or one of the pop-up vaccinations centres that are now in shopping centres, workplaces and high streets.
All adults in the UK are able to get their second doses after eight weeks. This will mean every adult has the chance to have two doses by mid-September.
People will be required to prove they've had two jabs to enter nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather by the end of September.
From 16 August, double vaccinated people will also no longer be required to self-isolate if they are identified as a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case. People will continue to be advised to take a PCR test to detect the virus and variants of concern and anyone who tests positive will still be legally required to self-isolate, irrespective of their vaccination status.
The government announced that double vaccinated frontline NHS and social care staff in England who have been told to self-isolate will be permitted to attend work in exceptional circumstances and replaced by testing mitigations. A limited number of critical workers may also in exceptional circumstances be able to leave self-isolation to attend work if deemed a close contact and informed to do so by their employer.
Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said:
"Today marks a historic day for the incredible vaccination programme, with three quarters of UK adults having received both doses of a life-saving COVID-19 vaccine.
"It's been phenomenal to see first-hand the enthusiasm of the British public for the vaccines, which have now prevented over 66,900 hospitalisations and saved at least 60,000 lives.
"Getting the jab is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones – I urge everyone to get booked in and get vaccinated as soon as possible."
The UK government secured access to hundreds of millions of doses of the most promising COVID-19 vaccines early on behalf of the entire UK, crown dependencies and overseas territories. The UK's medicine's regulator, the MHRA, was the first in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech and Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines, allowing the rapid deployment of vaccines across the country and ensuring the UK has one of the fastest vaccination programmes in the world.
Vaccinated people are far less likely to get COVID-19 with symptoms and even more unlikely to get serious COVID-19, to be admitted to hospital, or to die from it and there is growing evidence that they are less likely to pass the virus to others.
Dr Nikita Kanani Medical Director for Primary Care and Deputy for the NHS Covid-19 Programme, said:
"NHS staff have pulled out all the stops to get the lifesaving Covid jab to people as soon as possible and their exceptional hard work rolling out the biggest and fastest vaccination programme in history has meant that three quarters of all adults are now fully vaccinated, including 95 percent people aged 50 and over in England.
"Getting the vaccine is the single most important step you can take to protect yourself and others, with hundreds of convenient vaccination sites across the country including pop up clinics in the park and at festivals and walk-in locations too and so if you haven't already, I would urge you to come forward today and join the tens of millions of people who have already been vaccinated."
YouGov polling also shows the UK continues to be one of the top nations where people are willing to have a COVID-19 vaccine or have already been vaccinated. ONS data published on 9 August shows that more than 9 in 10 (96%) adults reported positive sentiment towards the vaccine, and vaccine hesitancy for those aged 18 to 21 has almost halved from 9% to 5%. The statistics also showed hesitancy has decreased for those aged 16 and 17 from 14% to 11%.

ANC: State must keep SAA as a national airline
Lameez Omarjee
The ANC National Executive Committee has agreed that South African Airways must remain a national airline, but that "substantial restructuring" will be required.
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule made the remarks at a briefing on Wednesday, following an NEC meeting over the weekend where members discussed state-owned enterprises, among other matters.
The NEC is the highest decision-making body of the party.
"SAA should be retained as a national airline, which will require substantial restructuring. Cabinet should take the operational decisions needed to achieve that aim," Magashule said.
The cash-strapped national carrier was placed under voluntary business rescue in December. This week it cancelled a number of flights in an effort to save cash.
Referencing the ANC's January 8 statement - which sets out the party's position on a number of matters, and this year marked its 108th anniversary - Magashule said the fact that the flag carrier has been placed in business rescue to be "restructured and to be returned to financial sustainability" was both a demonstration of the depth of the crisis facing it and the determination of government to decisively address the matter.
"We will retain a restructured SAA. We will still be flying the South African flag. Government will deal with details," he said.

Government and private creditors have jointly committed to providing the national carrier with R4bn in new finance. However, National Treasury has not yet provided the R2bn it committed to the process.
The Department of Public Enterprises, under which the airline falls, on Sunday issued a statement to say government remains committed to the business rescue process, and was engaging with Treasury to source the funds and a strategic equity partner to keep SAA in the skies.
SAA has since cancelled both international and domestic flights as a means to save money.
The business rescue plan is to be finalised in February. Practitioners Les Matuson and Siviwe Dongwana have said that the priority is to ensure the airline can continue on a solvent basis – a preferred option than liquidation.
The practitioners are also set to be invited to Parliament to brief the public enterprises committee on their plans to turnaround the airline.
No blank cheques
Commenting on state-owned enterprises as a whole, Magashule said that while government should provide support to them as needed, such support must be contingent on them doing more to meet needs of people, and to do so affordably and efficiently.
"It cannot be a blank cheque that permits continued waste, inefficiency and in some cases corruption at the cost of our citizens, producers, and society as a whole," Magashule said.
He added that government should ensure the public enterprises operate efficiently and that where necessary their business models must be reviewed. Government must also ensure people "fit for purpose" are appointed to relevant positions at the entities.
"Appropriate forms of partnership with private companies, investors and workers will be considered where it will enable the public enterprises better to fulfil their developmental role," he said.
Magashule also stressed the importance of having SOEs operate independently. "We must avoid political interference in operational matters, other than interventions in the case of mismanagement and possible company failure," he added.

Michael D. Young is a mediator with Judicate West in Southern California, focusing on the resolution of intellectual property, employment, and other complex business and commercial disputes. He is also an intellectual property and employment litigator with the national law firm of Alston & Bird, a Distinguished Fellow with the International Academy of Mediators, and has been an adjunct professor of negotiation and mediation at the University of Southern California Law School. Mr. Young has co-authored a blog on intellectual property ADR issues at www.ipadrblog.com, and employment issues at http://www.alston.com/laborandemploymentblog/.
How did Stanford English Professor Carol Shloss, with the pro bono help of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society's "Fair Use Project," take down the Estate of literary giant James Joyce and its sophisticated legal counsel? How did she successfully mediate her copyright lawsuit, dismiss the action, and then recover all of her attorney fees and costs as the "prevailing party?" The answer: through some very clever maneuvering at mediation!
What the "Tingler" and a Contaminated Property Can Teach You About the Enforceability of Mediated Settlement Agreements in California.
I walked into my last mediation blind. No briefs had been submitted, no pre-mediation conference calls, nothing. And so I had no forewarning on that early November morning as I offered Coffee and Tension-Easing Donuts to the disputing parties that I would soon come face-to-face with something I thought was purely mythical: A Mediator Ethical Dilemma.
The fact is, there are some types of complex cases that simply do not lend themselves to efficient resolution by trial, whether jury trial or bench trial. While our court system does provide a mechanism that will, one way or another, resolve a dispute, it is not the system of choice for all disputes. In light of the special complexities of an environmental dispute, and the unique needs of the disputants, we suggest a team mediation approach, which we describe below.
Bottom Line Negotiating is not the answer to all negotiating impasses. However, it may prove exactly what is needed to get past certain negotiating barriers, or provide some recourse to the erstwhile negotiator when faced with an unrealistic litigation opponent.

Police seek man who jumped out girl's window
Posted by Joe Pinchot | Jan 21, 2022 | Police | 0 |
Isiah Krzyston
Brookfield police are seeking a man who was found in the room of a 15-year-old girl.
Isiah K. Krzyston, 22, of 603 Brookfield Ave., Masury, jumped out the girl's bedroom window, shirtless and without shoes, and left behind his phone and wallet, police said.
The parents of the girl, who lives in the 8000 block of Warren Sharon Road, reported that the mom had gone to the girl's room to check on her on Jan. 20, police said. The door was locked, and the mom picked the lock. When she opened the door, Krzyston sat up in bed and jumped out the window.
Police said they followed footprints in the snow, but were unable to locate Krzyston.
The parents do not allow Krzyston to be at the house, and an order from Trumbull County Eastern District Court forbids him from contacting the girl, police said.
Krzyston was convicted of obstructing justice for harboring the girl in November after she had run away, police said.
Brookfield police have charged him with criminal trespass, and the court issued a warrant charging him with a probation violation stemming from the order in the harboring case.

No matter if it's a birthday, Valentine's Day, or Christmas, gift giving to your mom can ignite thoughts of dread and fright. For some individuals, it is not buying the present which triggers all of those concerns. Once you come up with a thought, you will be bombarded with a wide array of price ranges. The main issue here starts when you cannot come up with an idea.
You see, that is considered one of the worst feeling ever. Purchasing gifts for small kids are a bit simple and stress-free, as you will find lots of new games and toys accessible in the market. Nonetheless, buying a gift for your mom who already has everything could be sure a horrifying scenario.
So, to help you with this process, we will present you with some ideas for gift giving for your precious mother who has everything.
If your mom has enough things, you must think beyond these and instead present her a new experience. You see, if you prepared for experience or event, you could rest assured that your mother will experience a memorable and fun adventure to remember and probably, she will obtain new memories and sill.
Did you know that time is one of the most precious things in the world? Therefore, giving some of yours to the most important person in your life is surely the best gift ever.
You see, offering your time with your mother can involve anything from organizing camping with friends or family you do not get to see much to performing some work to help out the friends or other people you truly cherish.
To do this, make sure you do all the necessary planning, research and paying for an entire day of fun with your mom along with the people that are important to her. Granted, you must be eager to help her out, so ensure those provides feel like huge gestures. You also need to make it evident that you are eager to go beyond for her or help with the things she has been putting off herself.
In case you didn't notice, mothers get lots of photos from their children, especially if your a mom is now a grandparent. However, they not get the same amount of frames.
Do you find images stuck inside the frames or strange places around your home? Then, you can purchase a good frame/s because photo albums could be helpful.
Often, giving memorable presents simply denotes thinking outside of the box. You can stop contemplating about you can offer to your mom and begin considering the stuff you can offer her which will improve what she already has.
Does she have a nice radio system? Why don't you get her a music streaming subscription like Spotify Premium? Does she have a fragrant ride she won't stop talking about? You can give her a car detailing or car wash certificates too!
However, if you are not that sure what that to get your mom, you can think of stuff which would make her life much better and simpler. You can get her a grocery delivery services such as Instacart, Fresh Direct, Amazon Fresh and the like that could save her too much hassle.
If your mom has already everything, a personal touch might denote the difference between a simple gift and something extremely expressive. If you go for those embroidered, printed or engraved, you will prove to your lovable mom that you have put a bit of effort and thought into getting the ideal gift for her.
Also, remember that this does not need to be that massive. It's always the thought that counts.
Your mom who already has everything surely have all the materials things her heart wanted. However, she has possibly overlooked the good times she has had, and a lot of moms love to reminisce.
You can start digging your photo albums and seek an old forgotten image of the two of you, like when you were still a baby, and purchase her a good album for it. You see, when your mom feels like reminiscing, they can stare at those photos. This kind of present is certain to be beloved for a lifetime.
The concept of donating to organizations has become a long way in the past years. That's thanks to the services like IndieGoGo and the like. Today, you will find lots of causes and charities available which you can pick one near and precious to your mom's heart.
The key to donating is to make sure you ask yourself this question: what would your mom donate if she were picking the charity? If your mom is passionate when it comes to breast cancer research, then you can donate to the American Cancer Society. There are many options for you to choose from if you just look and search.
If you have precious and wonderful mom has already everything, probably the best git is not material at all. Your challenge here does not lie on picking the ideal gift, but searching a way to express your appreciation and love in some ways.
After all, it is always the thought that counts. So, putting added considerations into gifts, experiences, and services which express your care are more precious than even the most expensive and big gifts. The secret here is thinking outside the ordinary.
