Commissioner Davis Announces Slated Shut Down of Veteran's Affair Clinic
in Local Stories, Top Stories
By Jennifer Britt
The Parsons Advocate
Commissioner Fred Davis gave the devastating news that the Veteran's Affairs clinic in Parsons, is on the list to be shut down within the next ten years. Davis was highly upset at this news and has reached out Washington, D.C. to see what can be done to prevent this from happening.
When Davis called to find out why the clinic may be closing, they stated the clinic in Buckhannon would be the main hub for the area. Davis disagrees saying, between the local veterans and the ones from surrounding areas, the Parsons clinic was already a main hub for the area.
While talking to D.C. Davis explained the EMS situation currently in Tucker County and all of West Virginia. The spokes person in D.C. said they were not aware of the situation but would investigate it and get back to Davis by the end of the week.
Davis also reported that leachate from the Davis landfill would be transported to the Thomas landfill starting on Monday. There will be a limited amount taken in by Thomas landfill, but every little bit helps the Davis landfill.
Commissioner Lowell Moore reported the new John Deere lawn mower ordered for Camp Kidd will be delivered next week. The mower has been on order since February 3, 2022.
White thanked the Commission, as a fellow community member, for everything the Commission has done for Camp Kidd. White said: "Being the only shelter on this of the county it's a relief to know it's there if we ever need it." Rosenau said they will continue to work on the shelter in Thomas so that "God forbid anything was to happen, we will be prepared."
Rosenau excitedly announced the finding of the old Pulper Cemetery in Camp Kidd. Rosenau and Moore stated they have lived here all their lives and have never been able to find the cemetery. Rosenau said the way you could tell the cemetery was there were the sunken graves, for there were no markers or stones. Rosenau would like to look further into a project to preserve the graves from further damage.
Barb Means in the audience of the Commissioners meeting and spoke to them about the EMS audit. Means stated when she obtained a copy of the audit report it was only a summary of the money spent by the EMS. Means requested there be a break down of every dime spent so the community knows where the money has been spent.
Commissioner Mike Rosenau suggested to Means that she go to the office of CPA Mark Joseph, and he should have any information she wished to acquire. Commissioner Fred Davis also stated that he would try to get an itemized copy of the audit as well. Davis said he would he get a copy to Means when obtained one himself.
Means stated: "Time is of the essence, voting on the levy is just a few days away. The community wants to see where the money is being spent before they vote yes or no."
Mike Simmons was filling in for 911 Deputy Director Beverly Cantrell to give an update on the 911 department. This past month there were a total of 745 calls made to 911. Of those 745 calls 66 were for EMS, 45 for law enforcement, and 33 were for the four local fire departments.
Simmons thanked the commission for allocating the money needed to replace the floors in the 911 building.
Parson Fire Department Chief Kevin White presented his report to the commissioners. White presented a quote to added flashing lights to signage around Tucker County. The lights will contain a solar panel for charging.
The quote White presented is one for $8,075 for each light that included the poles needed and installation. White would like to get another quote that would just include the lights and installation of those lights onto existing DOH sign poles. DOH is currently working through the summer to replace some of those poles and signs that have damaged.
White presented an approval for the Wildfire signage from the forestry department. The sign will give a daily update of the fire hazards in the area to help prevent a forest fire from happening. The new sign, once the forestry department gets started on project, will be located at the bridge embedment.
White stated that he had been working on this for four years and "as a forest town, it is highly needed."
The next meeting of the Tucker County Commission will be held on May 11, 2022, at 9 a.m. at the Tucker County Courthouse Courtroom, 3rd floor, located at 211 First Street, Parsons, WV 26287.

I celebrated two anniversaries at the end of April. The first ever edition of Inspired was launched at the end of April 2011 – and a year with The Man, who I also met at the end of April. Such a lot has happened in the past year. We've been away together, had our first proper holiday and of course I've moved in with him. I've also gained a 15-year old 'step' son who loves nothing more than to come and stay over, eat all the fruit in the fruit bowl and then engage in spirited farting competitions with his dad while watching South Park. Boys, you've gotta love 'em eh?
It was also Wills and Kate's first anniversary at the end of April of course. The Man and I were actually talking weddings on our first ever date, but only because we were trying to plan our second date around his shifts and realised that his next free day was the day of the Royal Wedding. So, I was a real girly and fluttered my eyelashes at him and asked if we could watch the wedding together. When I say watch, I mean I gawped at the dress and got a bit teary-eyed, and he kept looking at his watch and asking how long it was going on for.
Fast forward a year and TV still plays quite a part in our relationship. We both love shouty telly – sit us in front of The Apprentice and we're away. His taste in trashy TV is much worse than mine, though. Two words…Jeremy Kyle. Oh, my eyes! My ears! We've both had to compromise – I've moved away from a lot of my old social life, and I can't just pop over to my mum's for a gossip after work anymore. He doesn't eat pizza for tea anywhere near as often as he used to and has had to get used to at least attempting to be a bit tidy.
All in all, it's been quite a year…here's to the next one for Inspired AND us!

Independent Order of Odd Fellows Donates $150,000 for Ronald McDonald House at Mercy
By Sophia Ahmad | December 6, 2018 | 0
DES MOINES, IA – Mercy Foundation has received a $150,000 gift from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows – Grand Lodge of Iowa for the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows has a deep heritage of philanthropy, rooted in the organization's command to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan.
"We are pleased to provide these funds for the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy," said Lawrence Shilling, Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. "This is an important project that will help families during one of the most vulnerable periods of their lives. This philanthropic gesture aligns with our organization's mission."
The Grand Lodge of Iowa's history with Mercy extends back to 2014, when it committed a $100,000 gift to establish the Odd Fellows Scholarship Fund at Mercy College of Health Sciences.
"We are so pleased by this significant gift from the Grand Lodge of Iowa of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows," said Mercy Foundation President Shannon Cofield. "Mercy Children's Hospital and Clinics has a statewide impact, serving 13,114 young patients from Iowa cities that contain Odd Fellows Lodges. We are so pleased to partner with this important organization to help Iowa families in need."
Construction on the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy is slated to begin in early 2019. Currently, the Ronald McDonald Room at Mercy is able to serve 33 percent of families residing outside of Polk County. The new Ronald McDonald House at Mercy will increase the nonprofit's capacity to serve families at Mercy by 50 percent. It will provide nightly accommodations for out-of-town families, as well as providing respite for day guests. Fourteen bedrooms suitable for families of up to five people and home-like amenities will help keep families close.

LONDON — The courtship went on for 10 whole days. They were kept apart, but tantalizingly close so that each could see, hear and smell the other.
When the matchmakers believed that the time and the place were right — Friday at London Zoo — the rare Sumatran tiger called Asim and a female named Melati were put in the same enclosure together.
He promptly killed her — moments after they were introduced for the first time.
Keepers eventually were able to shepherd Asim into a separate paddock so that they could safely get to Melati, the zoo said. Vets then confirmed that she had died.
"Everyone at ZSL London Zoo is devastated by the loss of Melati, and we are heartbroken by this turn of events," the zoo added in a statement.
"Asim was chauffeured to the zoo in a custom-designed travel crate filled with top-notch tiger travel essentials — warm straw, climate control, snacks and drinks," the zoo's statement said.
The match was organized as part of a Europe-wide conservation program for Sumatran tigers, an endangered subspecies. The Sumatran tiger is found in the wild only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and the World Wide Fund for Nature says that fewer than 400 exist today, down from an estimated 1,000 in 1978.
The zoo was optimistic about the two animals getting along, saying: "It's early days but we've already seen some good signs — there has been lots of 'chuffing,' which is a happy sound they make to let each other know they have good intentions.
But things went horribly awry.
Asim mauled Melati to death.
The tiger section was shut on Friday and keepers were focused on caring for Asim.
The zoo, in Regent's Park in London, dates to the 1800s and houses more than 20,000 animals. It describes itself as the world's oldest scientific zoo, is estimated to receive more than a million visitors each year and has seen tragedy before.
In 2017, a fire broke out in the Animal Adventure section, killing a 9-year-old aardvark named Misha and leaving some staff members suffering from smoke inhalation.
Half a petting zoo and a gift shop and cafe were destroyed, according to the London Fire Brigade. Four missing meerkats were presumed dead.
Everyone Argues. Here's How Persuasive People Do It Differently.

Former Daggett County jail inmates...
Crime, Law Enforcement, News
Former Daggett County jail inmates tortured by police say they hope their lawsuit will bring change to how prisoners are treated
(Rone Tempest | Utah Investigative Journalism Project) Former Daggett County jail inmate Dustin Law Porter and his fiancée Crystal Long in their Eureka home.
This article was written by Rone Tempest of The Utah Investigative Journalism Project in partnership with The Salt Lake Tribune.
In a case that challenges the Utah Department of Corrections policy of farming out 20 percent of its inmates to remote county jails, the American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of two inmates who were repeatedly abused by a "violent and sadistic" guard in Daggett County.
"What happened at Daggett County reinforces how important it is for the Department of Corrections to maintain and rigorously enforce meaningful standards for health and safety at all county jails where state inmates are confined," said John Mejia, legal director for the ACLU in Utah.
"Paying your debt to society does not mean your jailers can shock you with a Taser and attack you with dogs only to later call it 'fun and games,'" Mejia said.
The two inmate-plaintiffs, Dustin Porter, 37, and Steven Drollette, 48, were among eight men state investigators said were shot with stun guns and subjected to K-9 dog attacks by guards between May 2015 and February 2017, when the state ordered the jail closed and all 80 inmates transferred to other facilities.
The suit seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial.
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Daggett County; interim Department of Corrections Director Mike Haddon; DOC caseworker Jeffrey Toone; former and current Daggett County Sheriffs Jerry Jorgensen and Erik Bailey; four former sheriff's deputies; and 20 "John Does" who worked at the jail and may have known of the abuses.
When he announced criminal misconduct charges against Jorgensen and four of his deputies a year ago, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes said the actions of "at least one defendant constitute unbelievably inhumane conduct and a reprehensible miscarriage of justice and the actions of all the defendants are inexcusable."
All five defendants in the criminal case pleaded guilty to charges ranging from aggravated assault to official misconduct. However, only former deputy Joshua Cox, 28, was sentenced to jail, and is on probation after serving four months. He blamed his actions on a "poisonous" atmosphere at the Daggett County jail.
The ex-sheriff was charged with misdemeanor official misconduct, and his plea was held in abeyance — meaning the charge will be dismissed after six months if he pays a $500 court fee and does not commit new crimes.
Previous reporting by the Utah Investigative Journalism Project in partnership with The Salt Lake Tribune showed that the case may have never come to light without intervention by representatives of the Mormon church.
In December 2016, Drollette wrote a letter to the sheriff detailing some of the abuses, which Jorgensen said he immediately forwarded to the Corrections Department. After receiving no response from the state, Drollette sent a similar letter to Jerry Steglich, a former county commissioner who served as a volunteer LDS counselor at the jail. Steglich said he discussed the letter with his stake president in Lyman, Wyo., who then forwarded it to church officials in Salt Lake City.
LDS spokesman Eric Hawkins confirmed the account and said attorneys representing the faith contacted both the state A.G.'s Office and Corrections. It was only after this call that Corrections investigators swept into Daggett County.
Interviewed in his log home in Manila, Steglich, 64, said when he was first contacted about the abuse allegations, the state investigator was hostile, "like I was the one who was causing all the problems."
"My view is that if the state of Utah had been doing their job, this never would have happened," Steglich said. "They are supposed to do check-in and do interviews with the inmates and the guards on a regular basis.
In interviews with a reporter for the Utah Investigative Journalism Project, both Porter and Drollette said they were shot twice with a stun gun by Cox and also subjected to terrifying attacks by K-9 dogs under his command.
After one dog bit him on the back of the leg, Drollette said he asked Cox for medical attention. He said Cox told him not to worry, "that dog's cleaner than you are."
In a statement Wednesday, Porter said, "The state and the county need to answer for what they did to me and the others.… I hope that this lawsuit will bring real change to the way that state prisoners are treated in county jails."
At the center of the lawsuit is Corrections' Inmate Placement Program (IPP). Under the program about 20 percent of the state's inmates are assigned to 21 county jails, often in rural parts of the state where the sparse population makes it difficult to hire experienced officers.
Proponents of the program praise it as a way of channeling public money to less developed areas of the state. Critics describe it as opaque and difficult to maintain consistent standards.
Daggett is the state's least populated county with only 1,000 residents, many of them seasonal. The jail program had been critical to the local economy, accounting for more than 30 percent of the county's revenue.

"How Don Jazzy Found Me & Signed Me" - Singer, Ayra Starr Reveals
Mavin Records singer, Ayra Starr has revealed how Mavin Boss, Don Jazzy found her and signed her into his record label called Mavin Records.
Ayra made the revelation after covering the winter issue of Viper Magazine
When asked about how she started writing songs at an early age, Ayra Starr had this to say;
"I started remixing songs when I was seven or eight, I would remix Michael Jackson songs and I'd put my own words. I'd take it to school and act like this is my song and people would be like "you're a liar, it's not yours". I would put my own words every time. Then me and my brother started writing songs when I was 10 and he was nine. Then when I was 12, my mom got us a guitar so we started properly writing music. A song from my album, I wrote when I was 14 and my brother was 13."
In her cover interview with Viper Magazine, Ayra Starr was also asked how she got into the industry and she explained thus;
"I used to upload covers on Instagram, then the first time I started to do an original song written by my brother. I uploaded it on Instagram, this is something I was overthinking for like a whole day before I posted and it was't even up to three hours before Don Jazzy sent me a message! He was like "we need to meet up at the studio, just call me" and the rest was history. We met at the studio with my brother. The songs we recorded that day were on my EP, two songs on my EP."

How to Survive Camping With Mosquitos 101 - Bug Busters USA, Inc.
Camping is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors with friends and family, letting modern humans get a little taste of living amongst nature and the perfect excuse to make smores. However, the drawback of going camping outside in a tent surrounded by nature is that you have to deal with some of nature's less friendly inhabitants, in particular the ever annoying mosquito. However, never fear, there are things you can do to ensure you enjoy a camping trip mostly free from the bloodsuckers.
First of all carrying around lots of bug spray is a must. You can get specialty bug tents to keep them out while you're in your shelter, but since you probably don't want to spend the entire time locked in your tent, you also need protection against them when you venture outside. The answer to this dilemma is to use lots and lots of insect repellent. When you go outside wear long sleeve and pants when possible, and cover any exposed skin with bug spray, particularly ones that contain either DEET or Picardin. You can also spray your clothes with permethrin for added protection.
Using certain essential oils such as citronella and cedar oil is also a good way to keep the mosquitos away. Citronella oils mask the scents that attract mosquitos, and you can use products such as Citronella candles and wristbands to help repel mosquitos. Cedar oil is another great essential oil for keeping those bloodsuckers away. Mosquitos run from the scent of cedar oil, as it can be deadly to their eggs and larvae if they come in contact with it.
Herbs are also a must on camping tricks. Rosemary, basil, catnip, lavender, lemon balm, and eucalyptus are all good for repelling mosquitos. Many people use them to make natural insect repellents. You can burn them to repel bugs too. The smoke from campfires already keeps mosquitos away on its own, but you can increase the effect by putting a stick of sage in the fire. This will repel numerous insects from getting anywhere near you and the smoke from your campfire, giving this method a nice large area of protection. If you don't mind the grossness, putting a cow pie in your fire can also greatly enhance your campfires ability to repel insects.
Finally, you can also do things to make yourself less attractive to mosquitos, such as staying away from body products with strong scents. Make sure every hygiene product you do bring such as soap, shampoo, and lotion is unscented. You'll find that by just doing this you'll be much less attractive to mosquitos even without insect repellent…but please still wear the repellent.
What do you do to keep insects and particularly mosquitos from ruining your camping trip?

The Fantastic Four of Josh Trank and Its Fantastic Failure!
August 7, 2015 Manny Popoca Comic Book News, Comic Reviews, Movie Trailer, Pop Cult News, Video Comments Off on The Fantastic Four of Josh Trank and Its Fantastic Failure!
I was one of the naysayers in the beginning. In a world where there is a double standard and a movie cannot be judged on trailers or production information unless it is positive; I have SEEN the movie and therefore I can speak as ill as I want about something that I feel ashamed I paid money for. As my wife said; "Should have waited for half-price Tuesday."
As I am asked the million dollar question this evening; "Christian, what was Fantastic four like? Describe it!" The best I can do is this anecdote from my youth: When in high school as a young adolescent we would go to Blockbuster Video (anyone remember that place?) and us being the young male teenagers we were, would see movies such as 'Car Wash Bikini Girls.' As we became older the joke was those were movies that promised so much… but offered so little. That is what Fantastic Four is like; the hot Prom Date who doesn't so much as allow you to kiss her.
For a film that had so much exposure outside of an otherwise lame and lite theatrical promotion it fell flat. The Fantastic Four suffers from a lack of proper publicity, that is where the whole Human Torch fiasco comes into play. To make the biggest splash Fox could they cast Johnny Storm as a black actor in the form of Micheal B. Jordan and we only get him in this movie for all of 20 minutes. Mind you, F4 is not a long movie by the way. Anyone who thought Jordan was cast as the better actor over his color, has not seen this movie. He lends nothing to the role, there is no screen presence let alone any reason for him to be African American other then for the sake of "Hey the Human Torch is African American on screen." This was not a role that launches a thousand ships in search of new movie deals. The real acting does come from Reg E. Cathey who plays his father, Dr. Franklin Storm. Miles Teller (Reed Richards), Kate Mara (Susan Storm) and Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm) deliver half decent acting but with what they had to work with seems next to nothing. Then there is Toby Kebbell (Victor von Doom) who plays a character also seen in the movie very little with almost no character development and a slew of under developed ideas. It can clearly be seen where the re-shoots were done to cover up previous mistakes and fan disapproval. The first half of the movie can be okay while the second half severally lacks.
Which is how I could honestly sum up Fantastic Four: a slew of underdeveloped ideas by the would-be genius Josh Trank. Josh Trank, the very same man who was booted off the Star Wars franchise spinoff movie for reportedly being erratic. Trank, who's only credits as a screenplay writer and director of anything in the form of a major movie is… Chronicle… really? Chronicle was not that good of a movie and whoever sat in the FOX offices and handed this guy the keys to kingdom of a would-be billion dollar franchise should be in a unemployment line somewhere. Hey you get what you pay for. The fact Trank got this gig gives me hope as a screenplay writer! The man is an indie film maker, that is what Chronicle was – an artistic expression of superheroes and super villains. You don't take a huge multi-billion franchise and decide; "Hey, I'm going to experiment out of the box. Play around a little. Maybe some trees over here." You're not Bob Ross! This isn't The Cannes Film Festival, this is an attempt to breath life into a franchise, it is a battle to maintain the rights to an IP that very well may become lost to FOX after this opening weekend blunder.
Not only did Josh make a horrible movie but he himself cannot stand behind what was finally brought to the masses as he denounced this version of the film over his original ideas.
I am big on spoilers and I wish I had some for this film but there aren't any. The film is incredibly short. I felt like I was watching a set of dallies while on set during production. There are some good ideas and concepts but they get swept aside to move a plot that is so shrouded in secrecy I don't think the actors knew what was going on.
The start of the movie is like watching the 1980s movie, "Explorers" we see Reed and Ben meet at a young age and form a friendship which lasts 7 years into their future. We are given the impression Ben sticks by Reed on every insane invention he has ever designed. Reed is picked up by the Baxter Foundation because he has stumbled onto the same theory as Victor von Doom, except Reed solved the problem Doom couldn't. Oh this is where a real rivalry could begin but it doesn't. At some points I think Victor forgets he is suppose to be Reed's rival. There's some hint of a past relationship between victor and Sue but alas that is not explored. Sue doesn't even get to to the… I don't even know where they go. The movie calls it Planet Zero (I thought I was watching a DC movie for a moment) but we all know it's the Negative Zone but that wouldn't be a believable name, right? Calling all Feminist, that's right sue doesn't get to go on the journey but has her exposure caused by the backlash of… Cosmic Rays… they don't ever name the energy in the movie but let's play pretend here. Of course victor's origin is once again linked to the Fantastic Four. As if Josh Trank saw everything wrong in both earlier Fantastic Four movies and felt he could make it work. We don't even see a proper Doctor Doom, we see a man who is fused into his space suit or environmental suit and has telekinesis. Almost as if everyone in the film had access to the Fantastic Four script yet Toby Kebbell was given a screenplay form a Trancers sequel.
Nothing is explained in this movie. There isn't even any long winded Reed Richards speak. To steal a line from Rose Tyler's book, give me some 'Spock'! There is no 'Spock'! This is a science fiction movie at heart or tries to be yet there is no technobable. No pseudo science just a lot happening over a span of two years in a short amount of screen time. Even Victor's motivations are non existent. Oh one can debate and guess as there are plenty of options to choose from but the makings of a good movie is one which can tell a sequential story while explaining just about everything that should be a wee bit important to the viewer.
Fantastic Four fails as a comic film, it fails as a science fiction movie, it fails as a story about family and friendship by handing us cliche's that even Stan Lee and Jack Kirby would snub their noses at. Once more showing us a comic film ashamed of it's source material and not once even coming close to wanting to embrace it. The two comic book legends must be rolling in their graves! There are some scenes where I feel that the movie touched on… something. Or maybe got close. Maybe Trank is screaming the truth and there was a better take on this that we will never see because…it was the fault of FOX suits. This is a disaster that even the director, Josh Trank ran away from before the opening of the film with his mysterious vanishing and reappearing Twitter remarks.
Alas the movie is a cluster fuck, the train wreck that most of fandom imagined it would be. As some fanboys who drink the Galactus Koolaid have said, "Hey, you should be thankful that we even get comic book films today." My response: "No, good Sir, no one should have to thank anyone for this ALMOST 90 minute garbage."

Still to this day, one of my most popular posts ever is my Top 3 Summer Scents. There, I talked avidly about why my Chanel makes me smile and how you can save money by saving up Boots points to get a new perfume.
So today I'm back with an equally fun post... My Top 3 Fall Scents.
First of all you're probably thinking: Lily, why have you included a candle in this?! But be still my friends, I haven't lost my marbles just yet. For me, autumn is the perfect season for lighting a warm, sweet smelling scent and letting that aroma fill your room. Personally I adore food scented candles and in the autumn time nothing beats the Salted Caramel candle by Yankee Candles. Seriously. I'm watering at the mouth just thinking about it! Whilst I couldn't find the exact jar candle I have on the website, I've linked one similar.
Marc Jacobs Dot was discovered about two years ago by myself and my mother in John Lewis. It was just such a lovely smell, unlike anything else either of us owned. So naturally I asked for the perfume gift set for christmas and she bought the lotion for herself. Whilst it's not cheap (it's a perfume - hello?!) christmas is coming... hint hint!
And lastly, if you're looking for a sweeter scent that will definitely last all day (scarp that, all week!) look no further than Giorgio Armani's Acqua Di Gioia. A perfect 'going out' scent this will leave your clothes (and skin) smelling like lemony, minty, sugary goodness!!
Thanks for reading guys, tell me what perfumes you're lovely in the comments below!

Lovelovelove this! Especially about your hair… it's stunning! What good advice from your mom and dad… and Sister Marilyn!
Wish I'd taken some of this advice to heart when I was young. Now I'm so wise, I never make misteaks.
Advice to Parents: Be careful what advice you give your children because they will remember it.
Haha! Thanks for reading, Dad.
I think of my life as student, teacher, preacher and parent and I think these offerings are really great! Now my next plan is to not follow any advice but live forever — so far so good!!

What Is More Important, Beauty Or Intelligence? ›
What Is More Important, Beauty Or Intelligence?
You can put on makeup to be beautiful, but if you are ugly on the inside, all you can do is eat it. -Audery Hepburn

In the battle of brains versus beauty, which one takes the gold? A movie that recently came out that I went to see with my mother is "The Neon Demon." My mother and I went to an early showing and ended up to be the only ones in the movie theater, which meant we could have loud reactions to any part of the movie and no one would find us obnoxious. The film was about a girl Jessie from Georgia that moves to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career as a model. She lost her family and enters the world of modeling abruptly and harshly. Jessie is only 16 years old but pretends to be 19 years old in order to receive more work from modeling agencies. She is introduced graciously by a makeup artist Ruby. Jessie also encounters two models, Gigi and Sarah, that see Jessie's beauty and youthfulness as a threat to their own success. These models have gone through drastic measures to maintain their ageless beauty, such as countless procedures of plastic surgery. Jessie, in the beginning of the film, explains that she is blessed to be beautiful, given that she believes that she has no real talent to offer the world. She knows her physicality gives her the ability to provide for herself. She starts off as a very kind character who knows that she is gorgeous but does not use it spitefully or malevolently towards others. Her persona soon changes when she gets a taste of the spotlight when she is the closing act of the fashion show. She believes that women would kill for her beauty and that she does not need others in her life and can gain absolutely anyone she desires due to her remarkable looks. She soon comes to a rude awakening when her vanity takes over and flaunts her new-found confidence to the other women which ends in her demise.
The film "The Neon Demon" touches on important issues that if you would take the time to further analyze the film, you would see that the issues discussed in the film are issues found in our society. " The Neon Demon" touches on the fact that women are envious of other women, whether it being for how successful they are or how pretty they are. In society, women may still feel as though they need to compete with one another in order to get ahead in the world, whether it being intelligence or beauty. Another issue the film discusses is that beauty is a commodity and can be replaced in an instant. In society, it seems as though once a woman turns a certain age she is not as vibrant as she once was, and now, her significance is now diminished. There is so much pressure to be as youthful as possible because youthfulness in society is new, shiny and eye-catching. There were several other issues that were directed in the film, but the issue that struck with me was that if a woman is pretty that is all she will ever be and that is all she's worth- your beauty determines your success in the world and how many people want to associate with you. In the film, the male, modeling talent director states that men only put in their time to women that are beautiful. He said that you can distinguish between artificial beauty and natural beauty. This statement can be seen to be true for the most part. From a young age, girls are pressured to be beautiful and products are used to enhance a girl's beauty, which is being advertised through the internet, television, movie, magazines and social media. In every advertisement, a woman is perfectly groomed, from head to toe, and she seems to have a great life and appears to be the utmost happy person. It is giving the notion that if girls look better, they will be treated better and will have better lives and be happier in the long run.
Intelligence, hands down, is more important than beauty. Intelligence can inspire you to be a better person and educate yourself about the world around you and how to make it a better place. Intelligence never fades. Intelligence is inner beauty. Intelligence is not all about gaining knowledge. You have to consider emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is to know your own emotions and others' emotions and reason with these emotions in a functional way. Beauty is important, don't get me wrong; because if you look nice, it gives you confidence in yourself. On the other hand, beauty will never withstand intelligence and compassion, because without intelligence and compassion, our world would have no purpose.

At the initiative of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Artsakh, the Individual Athletics Championship has launched at Republican Stadium of Stepanakert on 9 April.
STEPANAKERT, APRIL 9, ARTSAKHPRESS: 80 sportsmen from the capital Stepanakert and regions are taking part in the tournament.
In an interview with "Artsakhpress", Karen Melkumyan, the chief referee of the championship, said that the aim of the tournament is to popularize and develop athletics in the country and raise the skill of athletes.
"8 teams take part in the championship; each team includes 10 athletes. The tournament will last for 2 days.
The winners will be awarded with medals, cups and monetary awards. The best athletes will be included in the National Athletic Team of the Republic of Artsakh," Karen Melkumyan said, noting that they have great expectations from the tournament.

Leo Messi led Barcelona to a desperately needed 3-2 away victory in its "El Clasico" matchup on Sunday against Real Madrid, scoring the winning goal in extra time and keeping the team's title hopes alive.
It was a must-win situation for Barca in the 33rd week of Spanish First Division soccer action, given that they were in back of Zinedine Zidane's squad by six points in the standings prior to the match, although Real had a game in hand. The Catalans had to emerge victorious at Santiago Bernabeu because to trail by nine points would have been a gap they could not have overcome in the season's remaining games.
The nailbiter of a match surged back and forth throughout, with Casemiro scoring first for the home squad in the 28th minute after Marcelo fired a crossing shot to Sergio Ramos, whose shot-on-goal bounced off the post and right to Casemiro, who popped it home.
Then it was Messi's turn in the 33rd minute when Sergio Busquets slid one through to Ivan Rakitic, who got it to Messi plunging into the box and finding the twine for the equalizer.
The first half finished at 1-1, and it wasn't until the 73rd minute that Rakitic took Barca ahead with a powerful left-footed blast for a tally of his own.
James, having come in for Benzema just minutes before, was on hand to equalize the score for Real Madrid in the 86th minute and it looked like the game would finish out as a draw, also an unacceptable result for Luis Enrique's boys.
But as the clock ticked down in injury time, it was Messi again in the 92nd minute who pulled Barca's fat out of the fire, beating Keylor Navas and sealing the win with what was coincidentally his 500th goal for the club.
Ramos was expelled for the home squad with a red card in the 77th minute and Messi received a yellow card one minute after his deciding goal before some 81,000 fans at the capital stadium.

OTFCC Europe 2003 (UK)
The event was originally advertised as BotCon Europe 2002, but by the time the event took place 3H Limited were no more, and the convention had changed it's name to the Official Transformers Collectors Convention. The event was organised by Offworld, run through Showmasters. The event was extremely poorly advertised and organised, with refunds being sent out a fwe weeks before the event, and confirmations coming through with only a few days to go. The event bombed, as the OTFCC organisers later put it, and meant that they would never look at running a Transformers convention outside of America. Purhaps they did not realise the sheer difference in size of America and the UK, but if they expected a turn out of around 2000 people, then they got a shock when only 200 turned up.
The event fetures the only Official Transformers toy to be given away at a UK Transformers convention, Rook. The figure was later sold online, due to the poor turn-out at the event.
Here is our review of the event.
Cheshunt - 3rd November 2003
November 3rd 2003 saw the second BotCon Europe, this time an official BotCon not just BotCon in name. Organised jointly by 3H Productions Inc and Offworld, the event had a lot to live up to (both with Transforce 2002 and BotCon US in recent memory). Mark Wollard, from Offworld, did a pre-convention interview with us letting us know of their hopes and aspirations for the event.
The event was held in Wolsey Halls in Cheshunt (pictured to the right). The event was to run from 11:00 to 6:00, with pre-registrants entering at 11 and non-pre-registrants at 12:00. However on the day everyone entered at the same time.
Paul Hitchen, from The Space Bridge, did two "rock-paper-scissor" games, with Armada toys as prizes. At first people did not realise what as going on, but once the first one ended (and people spotted free toys) they were eager to join in.
Upon entry you were given a program, showing the timetable of events and giving details on the three guests, Simon Furman (Transformers Comic), Neil Kaplan (voice of RID Optimus Prime and Ro-Tor) and Wankus (voice of RID Prowl). Those who pre-registered for the other exclusive goodies, a t-shirt with an Autobot symbol on the front and Cryotek on the back, an exclusive Jazz / Mirage print (taken from 88mph's Genesis Art Book) and Rook (the exclusive toy - a repainted Windcharger keyring, who looks awfully like Tailgate). Unfortunately, do to a problem with Hasbro UK, the toy was not available. Instead of just fobbing people of however, for every Rook toy which you had pre-ordered you were given a fee Tap-Out.
As always we got some of the t-shirts, to add to our TF t-shirts we already had. These were quiet nicely made, though the picture of Cryotek seemed a little pail. The mini-litho was quiet nice, although Mirage still featured a toy like head rather than his cartoon equivalent. The litho was taken from 88mph's up coming Transformers: Genesis Sketch Art book. It was limited to 600 copies, although it was report that not all of these were sold at the end of the convention.
The front of the t-shirt as an Autobot insignia, with the the place and dates of when BotCon Europe 2002 was held. It was quiet a nice shirt, very comfortable. The picture has a rubbery feel, but you cannot notice / feel it when you are wearing it.
After getting the exclusive's it was toy buying time. The pictures above were taken in Dealer Room 1 (the east wing). The first picture is really really blurry, Dave's camera work is shocking. At the back is Fanboy (who owned a nice little Skids like car complete with Autobot symbol. To the right is Hellbat (who later dressed up as Ramjet) and far right is Sven from SKRV, Model Mart and loads of other places.
The second picture has Fanboy's comic section, Maz's table (out of site) a few other dealers who I don't know and Andy Warren's stall on the far left again is not pictured. This pic is a lot clearer though.
The 3rd pic is shocking blurry again, must have been due to the excitement of it all. This is of Andy Warren's stall
Dealer Room 2, west wing, was alot smaller, probably too small. In here there were just two shops, The Space Bridge and Tempting Toys (run by Tony Preto, who flew over especially).
Top left pic is the Space Bridge. Bottom left is part of Paul Hitchin's collection, including a rather odd Jazz car. To the right are picture of Paul's un-released Pretenders and prototypes, along with G1 Blades. Under that pic is Tempting Toys, who has a Black Tracks for sale, �350 mind you. He even had a Silver Beast Wars Metal Convoy for �300 as well. We got our 1/3 sized Fortress Maximus, called Fortress Middlemus from him (�50 loose though).
Tempting Toys had two of the Hong Kong Knock-Off mini Fortress Maximus'. One was loose and one was carded. There was a �50 difference, so we got the carded one. He was way way over priced (�50 loose and �100 carded) but we have never seen him before ad had to get him. he has the same articulation as the normal Fort Max, though he can only form the "spaceship" base mode, as his legs cannot fold fully over. This cockpit (where spike sits) opens up, though his Cerebros is nor a head master - just a normal Nebulan figure. He has the same guns as Fort Max, even his arm guns and leg guns fold out in the same way. Expect loads of photos dedicated to him in the near future. This was our 10th Fort Max toy of some kind!!
Apart from toy dealers there was also a video room at the convention, showing Armada on a projector, as well as the first appearance of the Trans-tech designs in the UK (left). There was also several pieces of original artwork on display in the entrance (right), which some people may have missed.
There was also come Beast Machines concept art, though we did not really spend much time looking at these. The Main hall had Offworld (left) and three other dealers, including Epic Heroes (I'm not sure of the names of the other two). The main stage was nicely accessible, and next to the video room. Wankus and Neil had to warm the crowd up a bit, who were a little hesitant at first. With many UK fans not ever seen RID, and many who just plain hate it, it was interest to see, and read about their reactions. They seemed to go down quiet well, though we could not help noticing how Simon Furman's autograph que was twice as long.
Pictured to the left is Glen Hallit of 3H Productions, under that picture is one of Simon Furman talking to Geen. Beolw that Glen introduces Wankus (left) and Neil (right). Simon answered a lot of questions regarding the Dreamwave comics and upcoming Armada UK comic as best he could. Not able to reveil too many secrets he did mention that the Headmasters and Targetmasters will feature in some way in issue 5 of War Within. He also admitted, as did Glen Hallit, of never seeing the Japanese Transformers cartoons.
Wankus and Neil spoke about how they got their rolls in RID, their past experiences and opinions on Armada. It was really nice that they mixed with the crowd after signing their autographs, rather then just leaving or sitting out of the way. Their repertoire during the Charity auction was fantastic. Someone else who came over very well was Jason Joiner (not Jamie, who was behind the Offworld stall, and works in their Luton shop, whom many Transfans believe is Jason). He was very relaxed and got into the swing of things during the charity auction, which started very slowly with no-one wanting the Beast Machines Supreme Cheetor poster. By the end there were bids for �10 for a piece of paper with Neil Kaplan and Wankus' names on them. We won two auctions, Sideways and Smokescreen (who came with the Air Defense Team). After the auction we left with a few people for a quick drink before heading home, exhausted and thoroughly entertained.
Slightly before the auction started Hellbat, from TMUK, dressed up in a familiar costume, reminiscent of the Ramjet eats toast website, although supposedly a different custume - we think it was the same one. There are a couple of pictures left and right of him in all his glory.
We are un-sure how many people turned up, we thought only 250 people, but have heard report of over 500. it certainly did not seem that many, but there were fans from all over the world there, which was really nice. We met several people from our board as well as other Transformer fan sites, which was great to put faces to names.
Congratulations must go to 3H and Offworld for organising the event, it was much better then we had hoped, although not perfect, is was a great start. Next year they hope to have 2 exclusive toys, have the event over 2 days and have booked Vince Dicola for an exclusive concert as well, his first at a TF convention outside of America
Tempting toys had a lot of knock-offs, this white Cyclonus as just one of them. We're not too sure about the green eyeliner and lipstick though?
Apart from knock-offs, Tempting had some very rare items, the Silver Beast Wars Metals Optimus Primal for one and this Japanese competition exclusive Black Tracks, for �350.00. Boy do I wish I'd bought him now.
Tony kindly let Dave take these photos of Tracks, though he did not want him taken out of the box for obvious reasons. He also informed us that he should soon be getting 30 to 50 of these rare toys from Taiwan, where they are made, which he will have for sale.
Another rare toy was Armada Blurr (seen below), who was raffled off. The winner was ProtoformX, from Transformers.net
Maz has a boxed Twincast for sale for �450, �150 cheaper then at Transforce. Maz kindly let me photograph him in. Steejaw is the stickered version.
BotCon Japan 200 toys were for sale from Offworld. These were some of loads of toys they had for sale.
�100 for a knock-off Omega Supreme. I'm not sure on the dealers name who had these. We have the knock-off on the left but not the right.
Lunch. saw Minion , Starscream, Skywarp, Great Destroyer, Steve and myself eating and comparing buys.

King of Fighters XIV (PS4)
Written by Christopher Lancop
King of Fighters XIV
Developer: SNK
Publisher: Atlus
Released: August 23rd, 2016
Available On: Playstation 4
Number of Players: Up to 2 offline, Up to 12 online (Free Match lobby)
Genre: Fighting
ESRB Rating: T for Teen (Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, Violence)
Before beginning this review, I would like to thank Atlus for giving Christ Centered Gamer a review code. Their generosity made this game review possible.
King of Fighters XIV is the latest game is a long running franchise which began as a SNK showcase, bringing in characters from the company's other games like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, as well as adding new ones. The series has grown to become SNK's flagship game, spawning thirteen sequels and numerous spin-offs. After a five year absence, King of Fighters has returned on the Playstation 4. Did SNK deliver a champion fighting game or does it get knocked out by the competition?
King of Fighters XIV's story is standard fair for the series; skilled fighters are sent an invitation to the 'King of Fighters Tournament'. This year's host is a mysterious billionaire named Antonov, who not only purchased the rights to the 'King of Fighters' tournament, but proclaims himself to be the "first champion." Despite his frightening appearance, Antonov is not a bad guy, an interesting change considering that previous tournament hosts included villains like Geese Howard and Rugal Bernstein. Each character has their reasons for entering the tournament, ranging from testing their might against other skilled fighters to carry out personal vendettas. Much of this background is revealed in pre-match banter between characters who know each other and each team's story ending. Following the match with Antonov, the tournament is interrupted by a being called Verse, who serves as the game's final boss. Very little is revealed about Verse, except that he harbours the souls of fighters lost in previous tournaments. He is more of a plot device than an actual character, acting as a way for SNK to potentially bring back fighters from previous games. For example, Orochi, the final boss in King of Fighters '97, makes a cameo appearance in one of the team's endings. What role Verse will play in future games is uncertain, but I'm interested to see where this newest King of Fighters storyline goes.
Graphically, King of Fighters XIV isn't impressive. Character models and backgrounds are more than adequate, but lack the detail found in other fighter games like Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat X. To be blunt, the game looks like it could have been released for the Playstation 3. That isn't to say KoF is visually unattractive. The character models give the game an anime-like feel. This is not just a happy accident, but a decision made by SNK after the negative reaction to the first teaser trailer. Although character animations are fluid, and visual effects and impressive, they don't compare to other games on the Playstation 4. Despite this, KoF's audio is solid. There is a variety of different stage music ranging from Chinese-styled electronic to country rock, each designed for specific locations. There is also special rivals music, which are remixed versions of memorable tunes from previous games that play when certain characters fight each other. Players can listen to their favourite music, as well as the audio for the game's characters, in Gallery mode. The only fault I can find here is that, with the exception of the announcers, all the game's audio is done in Japanese. Considering how poor the English audio was in the King of Fighters: Maximum Impact games, this isn't a major misstep, however, it would have been nice to have the option to choose between the two languages like players are able to do in Street Fighter V.
Strong Points: A solid fighting game with a large roster of characters and a deep combat system.
Weak Points: Character models look dated and there are some issues with online multiplayer.
Moral Warnings: There are minor swears; some female characters have revealing attire and there is breast jiggle.
In terms of gameplay, King of Fighters XIV offers a surprisingly deep experience. Though individual characters lack the depth of those found in games like Street Fighter V, the roster size makes up for it. There are sixteen unique pre-set teams, and players have the ability to make their own teams out of the fifty characters available (forty-eight unlocked from the start plus two boss characters who are playable after finishing Story mode). Each character has a handful of normal and special attacks, two super moves, and one CLIMAX super move. Though not much different than other two-dimensional fighters, the game's combat system is a step above its competition. KoF offers an incredible amount of freedom when performing combo attacks, allowing players to combo normal attacks into special, then into supers and even a CLIMAX super. Activating MAX mode (which consumes one super gauge bar) allows for even more combo opportunities. With practice, players will be able to pull off combos that do over sixty percent damage to their opponent. Since the game's combat system doesn't lock players into specific combo strings, it encourages experimentation, which in turn increases the game's replayability. There is a great fun in discovering a combo that other players have missed and using it against them.
Unlike Street Fighter V, King of Fighters XIV doesn't lack single player content. Story mode is the core of the single player experience, allowing players to choose from either a pre-set team or create one of their own and play through the game's story. Mission mode offers the players additional challenges like Trial, Time Attack, and Survival. Though not groundbreaking, Mission mode does add a much needed change of pace after completing Story mode with every pre-set team. Versus mode, though traditionally a two-player mode, allows for single matches against a computer controlled opponent. Tutorial mode teaches players about KoF's combat system, starting off with basic movements and attacks and working up to more advanced techniques like the CLIMAX cancel. There is also a Practice mode where players can practice what they learned in Tutorial, as well as learning each character's moves. Again, considering how deep KoF's combat system is, much of the player's time will be spent in Practice mode perfecting combos.
Online multiplayer is at this point in an odd state. Some matches are perfect, while others have a noticeable input lag, bizarre slowdowns or a weird glitch that turns combat into a slow motion brawl. SNK has promised to address these stability issues, so hopefully fans of online fighting games won't have to wait too long before its running perfectly. Aside from the play itself, the Online mode is filled with a variety of activities for players. There's Ranked Match, Free Match, and even Online Training for players who want to practice combos with their online friends. Aside from this, players can check their online stats and even watch streamed matches. Considering the amount of online content available, it is important that SNK address the stability issues quickly. Finally, no matter what mode players choose to play, they will unlock Gallery content. This includes movies, music, and character artwork from previous games. This added incentive will keep completionists glued to King of Fighters XIV for hours.

King of Fighters XIV has a Saturday morning cartoon feel to it due to the lighthearted nature of the story. There are, however, a few things some people might take issue with. The background story for the title characters of the franchise borrows heavily from Japanese mythology. The main characters, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, are the heirs of two rival clans who have mastered pyrokinesis (the ability to create and control fire) to combat the demonic Yamata no Orochi. The Yagami clan made a pack with the demon for power, turning their fire purple and cursing their members with a short lifespan. Iori's teammates, Vice and Mature, were former members of the Hakkesshu, a cult dedicated to the Orochi, and have demonic powers themselves. The background story sounds darker than it actually is, but it may concern some parents and players. There are, however, more to be concerned about than just character background stories.
Not only do a few female characters have revealing attire, but there is a fair bit of breast jiggle during combat. For example, Mai Shiranui of the Women Fighters Team has long been considered SNK's sex symbol and is the most prevalent example of both. Other female characters like Angel from Mexico Team are overly flirtatious. There is also alcohol consumed in team ending sequences, as well as in battle by background characters and one fighter, Chin Gentsai, a member of Psycho Soldiers Team and a master of Drunken Fist. Aside from this, the tournament organiser Antonov is fond of cigars. There are also minor swears, but they are too few and far between to be of any worry. In all my hours with the game, I only encountered a handful of minors swears. In one instance, during an ending sequence, one character calls another a "dick." As stated previously, most of the game's dialogue is done in Japanese with a handful of characters speaking in broken English.
Despite its faults, King of Fighters XIV is a solid two-dimensional fighting game. For those disappointed with Street Fighter V's lack of content or repulsed by Mortal Kombat X's gore, this is game that should be considered. While not the most visually attractive fighting game available, the game's large roster of characters and surprisingly deep combat system more than make up for its graphical shortcomings. While there are stability issues with online multiplayer, SNK is promising to fix it. Even with the online multiplayer short comings, there is more than enough content here for fighting game fans. SNK have given players one of the best fighting games I myself have played since King of Fighters '99 Dream Match for the Sega Dreamcast. This is one that I believe that is worth the full purchase price.

Indulge in a little piece of Italy at Café Brunelli.
Boasting excellent coffee and a menu that'll satisfy even the hardest to please diners, Café Brunelli offers a dining experience with a difference. A wide range of Italian and international dishes enable diners to satisfy any craving. The menu also caters for diners with food allergies; if you're gluten free, lactose intolerant or have another special requirement, just ask the friendly staff for dish recommendations.
Tuck into garlic prawns with white wine cream sauce, crumbed beef or grilled meats and fish. There's a delectable offering of traditional, gourmet and vegetarian pizzas and must-try dessert pizzas too.
The entrepreneurs behind Café Brunelli are the founders of some of Adelaide's most iconic restaurants. The Brunelli Cafés are renowned for their award-winning pizza recipes and have previously won 'popular choice award' in Adelaide's Restaurant and Catering Awards.
The food was great and the staff were amazing and accommodating! It seems they have changed their pizza bases since the last time we visited and the bases are now really thin and crispy, like a baked wrap. Otherwise, everything was great!
A great place with amazing food! So busy which was a great sign would highly recommend!
Being our first time user on first table all went to plan and was very impressed. Mains were very nicely presented and very generous serving. Staff were very helpful and quick service. Look forward to going again and booking with first table. I have now introduced first table to other friends. Thanks for this great opportunity.
The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and helpful.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the serving size was very generous.
It was a great dining experience and we'll definitely be back!
The meals were all really good. They came out a little staggered, but that was ok since the youngest (who takes the longest to eat!) got hers first. The vegetarian pizza was delicious and huge! There was enough to take home and have the next day. All in all it was a really nice experience.
Greeted by friendly staff, too much beautiful food !! Huge serves but the 4 of us had delicious meals. Would certainly go back again and with the First Table it made the evening even more enjoyable. Thank you Cafe Brunelli.
Good service and awesome food!
Great service and fast meals.
Not the first time we've eaten at Brunelli and will definitely not be the last! Fantastic wood oven pizzas backed with great service!
Food tasted amazing and the service was great.
Large choice, good food, only comment is it's a bit noisy. Not the place for an intimate dinner.
Happy, friendly staff, relaxed environment. Try the herb and olive bread.
We love big servings and Cafe Brunelli hit the mark. Fast service and delicious food.
As always they never disappoint. The girls (and Harry) are always warm, welcoming and amazing. The food is so delicious and the servings are ridiculously generous. the atmosphere is really lovely, great place to have a dinner out with friends or hold a birthday dinner. 10 out of 10. Well done guys!
Food was great. We had different types of schnitzels and a gluten free pasta which was also very delicious.
Excellent food and great service! Accommodated our dietary requirements really well and the kids loved watching the pizzas being made!
Food and service was good! Will go back again.
This was amazing! Food was delicious and served quickly and staff were accommodating dietary requests and very friendly. We will definitely be going back!

Twenty-two coal companies have already been removed from the fund's portfolio.
In line with the state's broader plan to completely divest public funds from fossil fuels, the New York State Common Retirement Fund plans to sell its assets linked to oil and gas companies by 2025.
Historically, New York's Retirement Fund has held more than $12 billion in investments linked to fossil fuel companies, one of the key emitters of carbon and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli announced on Wednesday that $226 billion in public funds will instead recalibrate its portfolio to be carbon net-zero by 2040.
This move comes a year ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland.

"New York's announcement is the biggest leap forward worldwide on climate finance action in 2020, an otherwise bleak year for the planet," the official statement read. "It creates the most comprehensive program of any large public fund worldwide to divest from fossil fuels, decarbonize across a massive portfolio, and put major financial pressure on public companies — from auto companies to utilities — to align their operations with the scale of climate action needed to stave off worldwide catastrophe."
DiNapoli's office plans to review each fossil fuel subsector, scrutinizing companies that work in oil sands, fracking, oil, fossil fuel services and oil and gas transportation and pipelines. Through this analysis, New York aims to put pressure on major public companies to invest in sustainable business alternatives to retain high-profile investors.
The goal to decarbonize New York's Retirement Fund by 2040 is a decade sooner than similar plans for any other U.S. pension fund. As of now, the state's pension fund has evaluated and divested from 22 coal companies.
This plan follows New York City's 2018 pledge to divest its pension funds from fossil fuel investments within five years on the start of the initiative.

March 6, 2018 • by Staff
CHERRY HILL, N.J. — TD Auto Finance (TDAF), a subsidiary of TD Bank, is the latest auto finance source to join AutoGravity's car-shopping and financing platform, the two companies announced this week.
Through the newly forged partnership, indirect financing offers through TDAF will be made available to qualified auto buyers using AutoGravity's digital platform, which allows consumers to search for and finance their next vehicle from their desktop or mobile device.

According to AutoGravity, more than one million users, a majority of whom as millennials, have downloaded AutoGravity's native iOS and Android apps and collectively requested more than $2 billion in vehicle financing in 2017.

Thanks to Silverstr for the pointer (no trackback?) to "HOWTO: Secure Network Server with Windows IPSec". The theory is sound but the insistance on the Microsoft version scares me a bit because of the usual "embrace & extend" practice of our favorite vendor. In any case, it's a good practice.

COVID vaccination distribution begins in Lowndes County
Published 3:39 pm Wednesday, December 30, 2020
Phase 1A of the COVID-19 vaccination is under way in Lowndes County, a category that involves frontline health workers, including clinical and non‐clinical, in hospitals, nursing homes, or those providing in‐home or mental health care directly. It also includes workers in other healthcare settings providing services with a risk of exposure to fluids and aerosols.
Frontline workers are receiving the vaccination at the Hayneville Health Department. Other critical healthcare workers in the area who have not yet received the vaccine can call the department at 548-2564 and make an appointment to do so.
Currently, the HHD is taking appointments every Tuesday from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
There have been 930 confirmed cases in Lowndes County since documentation started last March, and Lowndes County EMA Director, David Butts, is confident that vaccine will help slow the effects of the virus.
"We've seen a slight increase in cases over the last three months, so it's imperative that everyone in the county should try to get this vaccine as soon as it's available to them," Butts said. "In the mean time, continue to maintain proper social distancing protocols and wear your mask wherever you go."
There were 936 total cases with 873 confirmed and 63 probable cases with 32 total deaths.
In the past 14 days, there have been 61 positive cases and 205 diagnostic tests.
