BGS 5+5: Dylan LeBlanc
Artist name: Dylan LeBlanc
Hometown: Shreveport, Louisiana
Latest album: Renegade
Personal nicknames (or rejected band names): My friends all call me D — my only nickname really 🙂
What's your favorite memory from being on stage?
One of my favorite memories was from a few years ago in Norway and playing a big festival stage. I thought no one was gonna show up during our set and that we shouldn't be playing the stage we were playing. But we walked out to a roar of thousands of people, I looked back at my drummer, Jon, and the rest of the band said, "All right, let's let them have it!"
What other art forms — literature, film, dance, painting, etc. — inform your music?
Oh my god, I love literature and music from film, chamber orchestras, symphony. I love Martin Phipps, James Newton Howard, and Hans Zimmer. Music is so important when it comes to film and when I write I sometimes have a little movie playing in my head and imagine myself writing the music to it.
Music really transcends films and if we didn't have it, the film wouldn't be near as emotionally devastating, touching, funny, or lighthearted. I miss the long camera shots in movies when you could tell they weren't working with more than maybe two cameras or sometimes one. You had to rely on the music, frame and emotion of the actor to make it come together.
It proves the theory that less is always more and you don't need a whole bunch of gadgets and technology to make great art. You just need imagination and drive. I kind of take that philosophy with me in my own songwriting. I love imagery and I think that maybe my strong suit as a lyricist is creating strong imagery that has a feeling attached to it.
What's the toughest time you ever had writing a song?
A lot of the songs I wrote for Renegade were tough because I was doing something new and had never written necessarily uptempo songs before. I found myself having to dig for inspiration and having to actually "work" for the first time at songwriting. But the reward of finishing these songs was immensely satisfying. If I got a song written in two days' time of sitting there staring at a blank page I was jumping for joy.
I got frightened there for a minute that I would never write another song again. That's when you gotta just sit down and make yourself do it, where discipline comes in. I'm the worst about procrastination and when things don't come easy I very often lose focus, so it was a test of going against my nature and having to really make myself stay focused.
I kept a rubber band on my wrist and would smack myself with it every time I'd catch myself drifting during the writing of these songs. Ultimately I wrote twenty songs for Renegade alone and recorded ten. I wrote some really beautiful songs that didn't make it that I hope to include on the next one.
Which elements of nature do you spend the most time with and how do those impact your work?
I honestly drive more than anyone I know. I love the deep, deep south, the moss on the trees and the murky water. I love the alligators and snakes. The snake is my spirit animal and at first I thought that was a bad thing but it actually just means that I always need to stay grounded. Any place where there is a rich history and stories of its own, inspires my work. They make me feel like there is an endless supply of stories to tell, of people who have felt what I've felt and seen what I have seen long before I ever felt or saw anything. I feel less alone. New Orleans, San Francisco, Charleston, Savannah, London, Paris, Amsterdam — these places always get me creatively flowing. Just passing through and seeing how much time has passed and how that hasn't change them all that much.
How often do you hide behind a character in a song or use "you" when it's actually "me"?
Very often, I hide behind characters more often than not. I think a piece of every songwriter goes into their songs. My friend Courtney Marie Andrews, whom I consider to be one of the best lyricists of our time, is really good at pouring herself into her songs, yet making them seem strangely relatable to everyone. She is one of the best at that and I can feel every word she sings. Then you have Jason Isbell who can listen to a story on NPR and then write an incredibly sophisticated and intricate song about a character to [the point] where you feel close to them while listening to the song.
I feel like I'm a writer who tries to achieve it all but ends up putting a piece of myself in everything, trying to hide behind the "you's" and the characters [I] am writing about. I am very much still growing and learning how to be a good writer. It is a practice I will always be chipping away at for years to come.

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). In 2008, about 19% of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.2% from hydroelectricity.
New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 2.7% and are growing very rapidly.
The share of renewables in electricity generation is around 18%, with 15% of global electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from new renewables.
During the five-years from the end of 2004 through 2009, worldwide renewable energy capacity grew at rates of 10-60 percent annually for many technologies. For wind power and many other renewable technologies, growth accelerated in 2009 relative to the previous four years. More wind power capacity was added during 2009 than any other renewable technology.
However, grid-connected PV increased the fastest of all renewables technologies, with a 60-percent annual average growth rate for the five-year period.
Airflows can be used to run wind turbines. Modern wind turbines range from around 600 kW to 5 MW of rated power, although turbines with rated output of 1.5–3 MW have become the most common for commercial use; the power output of a turbine is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so as wind speed increases, power output increases dramatically.
Areas where winds are stronger and more constant, such as offshore and high altitude sites, are preferred locations for wind farms. Typical capacity factors are 20-40%, with values at the upper end of the range in particularly favourable sites.
Globally, the long-term technical potential of wind energy is believed to be five times total current global energy production, or 40 times current electricity demand.
This could require large amounts of land to be used for wind turbines, particularly in areas of higher wind resources. Offshore resources experience mean wind speeds of ~90% greater than that of land, so offshore resources could contribute substantially more energy.
Wind power is renewable and produces no greenhouse gases during operation, such as carbon dioxide and methane.
The Hoover Dam when completed in 1936 was both the world's largest electric-power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure.
Energy in water can be harnessed and used. Since water is about 800 times denser than air, even a slow flowing stream of water, or moderate sea swell, can yield considerable amounts of energy.
Hydroelectric energy is a term usually reserved for large-scale hydroelectric dams. Examples are the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State and the Akosombo Dam in Ghana.
Micro hydro systems are hydroelectric power installations that typically produce up to 100 kW of power. They are often used in water rich areas as a remote-area power supply (RAPS). There are many of these installations around the world, including several delivering around 50 kW in the Solomon Islands.
Damless hydro systems derive kinetic energy from rivers and oceans without using a dam.
Ocean energy describes all the technologies to harness energy from the ocean and the sea. This includes marine current power, ocean thermal energy conversion, and tidal power.

Seminar on Looking at Political Parties through Law: Lessons for Southeast Asia from Northeast Asia?
Dr Erik Mobrand, a visiting scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore and an associate professor at Seoul National University, presented a seminar entitled Looking at Political Parties through Law: Lessons for Southeast Asia from Northeast Asia?
REGIONAL STRATEGIC & POLITICAL STUDIES SEMINAR
On 30 October, Dr Erik Mobrand, a visiting scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore and an associate professor at Seoul National University, presented a seminar entitled Looking at Political Parties through Law: Lessons for Southeast Asia from Northeast Asia? A small group of 20 people attended coming from the private sector, Singapore's think tank community and from academia.

Dr Mobrand's seminar focussed on the growing trend globally and in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia of the regulation of political parties through legal means. In Northeast Asia, Dr Mobrand focussed on the legal regulation of political parties in Taiwan and South Korea, two regions that made the transition from dictatorship to democracy in the mid-1980s. In Southeast Asia, he focussed on similar dictatorship to democracy case studies by looking at Thailand in the 1990s, post-Soeharto Indonesia, independent Timor Leste and Myanmar. In most cases, existing political party laws were not cancelled as part of the transition to democracy but modified for a democratic political order. In the case of South Korea, the Electoral Commission is very powerful in relation to political parties and the legal regulation of parties targets the internal workings of parties. In the case of Taiwan, the focus of legal regulation is much more on the protection of political pluralism. Indonesia's regulation requires that all political parties have chapters in each province and branches in at least 75% of municipalities to ward against regional parties.
From Left to Right: Dr Malcolm Cook and Dr Erik Mobrand (Source: ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute)
Dr Mobrand's presentation was followed by a lively question period that ran beyond the formal end of the seminar. Questions asked could be grouped into four categories – how laws on political parties are enforced or not in practice, why the South Korean electoral commission was given so much power (including having overseas offices), rules affecting overseas voting and party activities, and similarities between the legal regulation of political parties and of other civil society groups.
People who attended the seminar came from the private sector, Singapore's think tank community and the academia. (Source: ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute)

Better Use Of Light Bulb Act Is Not Better
The Lamp Section of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) today reaffirmed its commitment to public policies that encourage transitioning to more energy-efficient lighting, including the energy-efficient light bulb provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007).
The Better Use of Light Bulb Act (HR 6144), which was recently introduced by Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX), would repeal EISA 2007 lighting provisions.
According to NEMA Vice President of Government Relations Kyle Pitsor, the lighting industry is investing heavily in new products that meet consumers' demands for efficiency and light quality while developing marketing information that will help people understand the variety of products available to them as this transition takes place.
NEMA, like Congressman Barton, understands that consumers may be anxious as the lighting industry undergoes this technology shift to higher energy-efficient products.
"The reality is that consumer preference already has been shifting away from incandescent products, with the market for standard household incandescent bulbs declining by 50 percent over the last five or so years. With lighting consuming approximately 22 percent of all electricity in the U.S., the potential for energy savings and energy conservation that the country—and the world—can realize with this change to higher-technology light sources is immense. American businesses and consumers will annually save billions of dollars in electricity bills once the transition is complete," Pitsor said.
EISA lighting provisions set phased-in, performance-based, technology-neutral standards, starting in 2011 in California, and nationally between 2012 and 2014. The new standards will continue to provide consumers with a choice of energy-efficient lighting products to meet their needs including high-efficiency halogen (advanced technology incandescent), compact fluorescent (CFLs), and new light-emitting diode (LED) solid state products.
The first product to be affected is today's 100-watt incandescent bulb. Beginning on January 1, 2012, manufacturers are required to produce bulbs that meet the EISA 2007 minimum efficiency requirements that result in nearly a 30 percent improvement in efficiency while providing about the same amount of light (lumens) as today's 100-watt bulb. The new bulbs will also last longer than today's 100-watt bulb.
Over the course of two years, similar changes will take place for 75-, 60-, and 40-watt bulbs.
EISA 2007 provisions do not mandate the use of only compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), nor do they "ban" incandescent products.
"Energy-saving halogen (advanced incandescent) bulbs join CFLs on store shelves today, and provide the choices and desired lighting ambiance consumers want, using much less energy than consumed by the 100-year old technology they replace. More products are becoming available every day, including energy-saving, long-lasting LEDs to fill the 4.4 billion medium screw-base sockets in the U.S.," Pitsor said.
NEMA is the association of electrical and medical imaging equipment manufacturers. Founded in 1926 and headquartered near Washington, D.C., its approximately 450 member companies manufacture products used in the generation, transmission and distribution, control, and end use of electricity. These products are used in utility, industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential applications. The NEMA Lamp Section is composed of 15 manufacturers of all types of lamps (light bulbs). The association's Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) Division represents manufacturers of cutting-edge medical diagnostic imaging equipment including MRI, CT, x-ray, and ultrasound products. Worldwide sales of NEMA-scope products exceed $120 billion. In addition to its headquarters in Rosslyn, Virginia, NEMA also has offices in Beijing and Mexico City.

TORTURED LANGUAGE USED TO PROMOTE COMMON CORE IN TEXAS
Jul 30, 2015 by Donna Garner Education Policy Commentator EducationViews.org
by Niki Hayes
"Tortured language" has been an important government tool for years. (Just ask Jonathan Gruber, chief architect of ObamaCare, who bragged about the use of tortured language in writing that controversial piece of legislation.) Such "tortured writing" uses euphemisms and flimflam when taking falsehoods and twisting them so that people will misconstrue them as truth.
A new example in Texas is the Education Service Center 11 (ESC 11), a governmental agency, with its chart comparing Common Core math standards with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards. (To see the ESC 11 chart, please go to: http://womenonthewall.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/TEKS-OldStandard-CommonCore.pdf.)
ESC 11's chart claims that Common Core and TEKS are equal in content and scope. Therefore, they say schools can buy Common Core-aligned materials and feel safe that the materials support our TEKS. This is pure flimflam – "tortured language."
I was a member of the Texas math curriculum standards writing team when we wrote the new 2012 Math TEKS. I can state unequivocally that the new Math TEKS that we wrote and the Texas State Board of Education adopted are not the same as the federally-driven Common Core math standards.
First, our TEKS document is a brand name product that was developed by 80 citizens who put in 12-hour days during three separate meetings over four months. We were charged with developing quality standards that would benefit our children and Texas citizens. We built our TEKS starting with a draft first created by a panel of mathematics experts that was commissioned by the Texas Education Agency (TEA); then we researched specific states with outstanding math standards at the time (such as Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Indiana). Most importantly, we brought to the table professional knowledge and experiences as educators in Texas classrooms. We knew our state's children and their needs. The TEKS were personal to us.
In contrast, Common Core is a generic brand created largely by unknown individuals outside of Texas. Some of the main writers, whose names were finally released publicly, had never even been classroom teachers. For many reasons, not the least of which is cost, numerous states are now struggling to back out of their federal Common Core contracts.
Even though Texas was one of the few states that said "NO" to the Common Core, one of the Texas Education Agency staffers tried to urge our Math TEKS writing team to use the Common Core Math Standards to craft our Math TEKS. As a member of the Grade 3 – 5 team, I made it clear that we should not be looking at the Common Core Standards for guidance since Texas had refused to adopt Common Core Standards from their inception.
The same TEA staff member resisted efforts to have the required use of the "standard algorithms" specified in the TEKS. (This is the procedure used in multiplication and division that our parents and grandparents learned and which is used internationally.) The staffer said standard algorithms are considered a "traditional math" approach and were thus considered inferior by many math reformers.
I also wanted a restriction against the use of calculators for daily problem solving in elementary grades. Reformers on the writing team supported the push for technology in K-12 rather than the traditional methods (paper and pencil) of student learning.
Even though I vociferously advocated for standard algorithms and the restriction against calculator use among elementary students in Grades K-5, I was losing the debate. Therefore, I contacted Dr. James Milgram, one of the panel experts hired by TEA, and asked for his help. He stepped forward, and a higher-up official at the TEA also got involved. References to the Common Core by the TEA staff ceased. The required teaching of standard algorithms and the restricted use of calculators in Grades K-5 were adopted in the final Math TEKS document.
Despite some philosophical differences on what we should include in the Math TEKS, our group did agree that the standards had to be explicit, direct, and clear. They had to be understandable not only for elementary teachers (many of whom fear mathematics and need clarity and brevity in instructions) but also for parents as well.
Our TEKS writing team agreed that the new TEKS standards had to be measurable with objective criteria and that each element had to be testable through objective measurements. Our team knew that the new TEKS would not be perfect but that they needed to be traditionally oriented standards (a.k.a., Type #1) as compared with the 1997 TEKS which were "fuzzy" standards (a.k.a., Type #2).
The chart that ESC 11 has created attempts to show that Common Core's "process standards" match our new TEKS "process standards" and that makes Common Core and TEKS similar in scope. That is ridiculous! The new Math TEKS standards that our writing team finally produced in 2012 has strong and specific expectations listed in the "Introduction" before each grade level. No such clear, explicit, competency-based language is found in the Common Core.
Next, the public needs to look at our final TEKS Math Standards and compare those definitive and clear statements with Common Core's wordy, complex explanations, many of which are not understandable because of the confusing and complicated wording. (Federal or state curriculum standards are also not supposed to mandate pedagogy [how to teach]; that is to be left up to the local educators.)
Below is a comparison example from the Math TEKS and from the Common Core:
TEKS, Grade 5, Number and Operations 3.H:
"Represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions with unequal denominators, referring to the same whole using objects and pictorial models and properties of operation."
Common Core, (same standard but labeled NF1 and NF2):
"Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc/bd). Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7 by observing that 3/7 < 1/2."
In numerous cases, there are additional Common Core standards that, if utilized, would add to the already packed TEKS. This would not help educators prepare their students for the STAAR-End-of-Course tests. Why risk wasting time, energy, and money on unproven and generic materials (Common Core) when the traditional approach to math has been proven successful for generations, in spite of those educators who say it hasn't?
Speaking of time, it is time for many of these education "leaders" to have to teach for one year in a classroom and use the directives and requirements they have put on classroom teachers. These leaders should also be required to receive the credit or the blame for any poor student achievement.
More to the point, why are Texas education service centers, administrators, and political leaders allowing ESC 11's false narrative and chart to be presented to teachers and parents as truth, especially when it is against state law to use Common Core materials and standards in Texas as stated by the Texas Attorney General (TAG). (Re: Use of the Common Core Standards Initiative by Texas school districts to teach state standards. RQ-1175-GA — https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinions/opinions/50abbott/op/2014/pdf/ga1067.pdf)
Why are Texas leaders ignoring the TAG's ruling and flaunting the law by using public tax dollars for illegal purchases by school districts and ESC's?
I believe if Texas leaders had led their classroom teachers to teach the new Math TEKS when adopted in 2012, rather than waiting until they were required to do so in 2014, students' scores on this year's STAAR and End-of-Course math tests would have shown considerable improvement.
School leaders should make sure all students in Texas public schools have instructional materials that teach the fact-based, clearly stated, explicit, grade-level specific, measurable requirements as outlined in our state's Math TEKS.
Texas children, teachers, and parents deserve clarity, not confusion, from their leaders on education issues. That includes their not being victimized by curriculum materials such as Common Core that use "tortured language" and make material unnecessarily difficult to understand.
CORRECTION TO PODCAST: In 2012 the Math TEKS (Texas' curriculum standards) were adopted in K-12 by the elected members of the Texas State Board of Education; however, the K-8 Math TEKS were not required to be implemented fully into the schools until 2014 when the textbooks (e.g., instructional materials – IM's) were available for purchase. The high-school Math TEKS are not required to be implemented fully until 2015-16 when the new Math IM's will be available for districts to purchase.

Q: how to pass variables into a stateful widget? I'm trying to learn how to pass variables into a stateful widget.
here is my code:
class TestTest extends StatefulWidget {
  final String selectedText;
  const TestTest({Key? key, required this.selectedText,})
      : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<TestTest> createState() => _TestTestState();
}

class _TestTestState extends State<TestTest> {
  String optionAData = '';
  String optionBData = '';
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    switch (selectedText) {
      case 'OptionA':
        return Column(
          children: [
            WidgetDisplay1(
              onTap: (){
                setState(() {
                  optionAData = 'A123';
                });
              },
            ),
            WidgetDisplay3(
              onTap: (){
                setState(() {
                  optionAData = 'A456';
                });
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      case 'OptionB':
        return Column(
          children: [
            WidgetDisplay5(
              onTap: (){
                setState(() {
                  optionBData = 'B123';
                });
              },
            ),
            WidgetDisplay3(onTap: (){
              setState(() {
                optionBData = 'B456';
              });
            }),
            WidgetDisplay4(
              onTap: (){
                setState(() {
                  optionBData = 'B789';
                });
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      default:
        return Container();
    }
  }
}

this is how i've been told to do it but the selectedText beside the Switch key word is returning the error: Undefined name 'selectedText'. which I thought I had defined at the top of the class with the final string selectedText.
Thanks so much and any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: So, to access the data when receiving from widget, you must place the keyword "widget" before the name of the variable. With that in mind, your code will be something like this:
class TestTest extends StatefulWidget {
final String selectedText;
const TestTest({Key? key, required this.selectedText,})
  : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<TestTest> createState() => _TestTestState();
}

class _TestTestState extends State<TestTest> {
String optionAData = '';
String optionBData = '';
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  switch (widget.selectedText) { //! Here's the main difference
    case 'OptionA':
      return Column(
        children: [
          WidgetDisplay1(
            onTap: (){
              setState(() {
                optionAData = 'A123';
              });
            },
          ),
          WidgetDisplay3(
            onTap: (){
              setState(() {
                optionAData = 'A456';
              });
            },
          ),
        ],
      );
    case 'OptionB':
      return Column(
        children: [
          WidgetDisplay5(
            onTap: (){
              setState(() {
                optionBData = 'B123';
              });
            },
          ),
          WidgetDisplay3(onTap: (){
            setState(() {
              optionBData = 'B456';
            });
          }),
          WidgetDisplay4(
            onTap: (){
              setState(() {
                optionBData = 'B789';
              });
            },
          ),
        ],
      );
    default:
      return Container();
  }
}

Hope it helped!

A: You can access all the variables anywhere by just using the keyword 'widget'.
Example:
widget.selectedText

'All I wanted was a girlfriend': Utah man sentenced for threatening mass murder
Posted 3:00 PM, May 25, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
PROVO, Utah — A man accused of writing a Facebook post in which he threatened to kill "as many girls as I see" was sentenced to zero to five years in prison Thursday.
Twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Wayne Cleary was arrested January 19 after making a social media post in which he threatened to shoot up a public place because he never had a girlfriend and was still a virgin.
An FBI agent and members of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force took Cleary into custody on January 19, the same day as a number of women's marches around Utah and the rest of the country.
Cleary pleaded guilty in April to a reduced charge of attempted threat of terrorism, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. The court recommended credit for the 124 days Cleary has already served. No fines or fees were imposed.
Provo police said the following threat was posted on Cleary's Facebook page:
"All I wanted was a girlfriend, not 1000 not a bunch of hoes not money none of that. All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me I'm 27 years old and I've never had a girlfriend before and I'm still a virgin, this is why I'm planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter cause I'm ready to die and all the girls the turned me down is going to make it right by killing as many girls as I see."
Cleary also wrote, "Theres nothing more dangerous than man ready to die," the documents said.

Barcelona show jumping centres around the C.S.I.O. event in September. This is the F.E.I. Nations Cup world final. The best riders meet in Barcelona to battle it out over the jumps. The competition is hosted by the RC Polo sports club.
Later every year there is the Barcelona City Trophy for Polo. Teams with players from all over the world gather in the Catalan capital for this famous Polo event.
If you want to learn or just fancy a ride when you are in the city there are lots of options. Many local clubs have lessons available. There are a couple based in the city, but you will have to travel just outside Barcelona to reach the majority of them. These clubs are also places that offer pony-trekking or trail riding. The huge Collserola park, just behind Barcelona, is an excellent place to ride. Loads of trails and spectacular views of the city and Montserrat.
There are horse and carriage rides available in the centre of the city. You can usually find them at the bottom of Las Ramblas near the water. It can be a relaxing way to explore the area around the old part of Barcelona.
RC Polo is near the Camp Nou stadium, home of FC Barcelona. The easiest way to get there is on the Metro. Line 3 (green) Zona Universitaria.

Pratola Serra, a little centre in the heart of Irpinia situated along the river Sabato, was born from the union of two municipalities, Pratola and Serra, which still keep two distinct urban centers.
According to some historical sources, the place name derives from the Latin word "Tula" (small fields), while the term "Serra" is usually used to indicate a location at the top of the hills, near a castle.
Serra di Pratola, the oldest part of the town, is built around the medieval castle, while Pratola is set along the ancient road, that connects the area with the Puglia region.
All the area was characterised by Samnite and Roman settlements, as evidenced by the rests found during the excavation works for the reconstruction, after the earthquake of 1980. In this period, in fact, the ruins of the legendary Lombard Basilica of San Giovanni (V-VII century AD) and mentioned in ancient manuscripts, the ruins of an ancient Roman villa with thermal complex and traces of human settlements dating back to both the Neolithic and the Bronze period, were brought to light.
Pratola Serra nowadays is an important industrial complex, where Fiat has a plant for the production of car engines.
- The ruins of early Christian Basilica of San Giovanni, in the district of San Michele.

← Are Catholics Chicken or Something?
The unfortunate victim of Constans' wrath was the virtuous Martin. Born in Todi of noble birth, he had served as nuncio to Constantinople under Pope Theodore, gaining experience in dealing with the Byzantine court and familiarizing himself with the Monothelite teachings so prevalent in the East. Without waiting for the necessary imperial mandate, Martin proceeded with his consecration on July 5, 649. This independent act so enraged the emperor that he refused to acknowledge Martin as the legitimate pope.
A staunch defender of the orthodox, Martin immediately convened a synod in the Lateran. Attended by 105 Western bishops, the synod studied all aspects of Monothelitism and the emperor's Type. After nearly a month, the synod reached a conclusion. They determined that there were two wills in Christ, condemned the One Will heresy, and further condemned Constans' Type for boldly prohibiting the truthful teachings of the apostles. In an effort to pacify the emperor, Martin acknowledged Constans' good intentions in trying to unify the Church and placed the burden of responsibility on the poor advice of Constantinople's patriarchs.

Located in southwestern St. Charles County, Matson Hill Park is a 268 acre park within the Daniel Boone Historic District. The County recently acquired 200 of these acres which comprise the Historic Daniel Boone Hays Farm, settled by the grandson of Daniel Boone. Our firm is serving as the architect and historic preservation consultant for the Master Planning and Programming Team for Matson Hill Park. The project entails design, preservation, and engineering work for: historic interpretation areas, cemetery preservation, native plant establishments, trails (hiking and biking), picnic areas, new utilities, roads, bridges, and parking. Currently, there are twelve structures on site, including two houses, several barns and outbuildings, and a pump house, which will be evaluated for their structural and interpretive integrity. The primary structure to be restored is the circa 1830's stone home of Daniel Boone Hays which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

pneumonia (infectious disease)
A 44-year-old man with obesity, but no other comorbidities, presented with a 3-day onsets of fever and headache. On examination, he was not in respiratory distress, his body temperature was 38.0°C, body mass index was 35.8 kg/m2 and oxyhaemoglobin saturation was 98% on room air. Novel COVID-19 was confirmed on nasopharyngeal swab PCR testing, and he was admitted to our hospital. On day 5 of admission (8 days after symptom onset), he experienced rapidly progressing acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and was treated with dexamethasone (6.6 mg intravenously) and remdesivir (200 mg loading dose intravenously on day 1, followed by 100 mg/day for 4 days). On day 7 of admission, he reported of new-onset hoarseness and difficulty breathing at rest. CT revealed bilateral peripheral/basal-predominant ground-glass opacities with linear opacities and laryngeal oedema (figure 1A,B). His symptoms were considered to be due to laryngeal oedema rather than pneumonia, and he was treated with a hydrocortisone drip (100 mg). On the next day, his symptoms became less severe, and dexamethasone (6.6 mg intravenously) administration was continued for 10 days. On day 14 of admission, all his symptoms were completely improved, and follow-up CT revealed an improvement of both lung involvement and laryngeal oedema (figure 1C,D). On day 19 of admission, the patient was discharged.
(A) Chest CT image on day 7 of admission showing bilateral peripheral/basal-predominant ground-glass opacities with linear opacities. (B) Neck CT images on day 7 of admission showing bilateral laryngeal oedema (arrows). (C) Chest CT images on day 14 of admission showing improvement in COVID-19 pneumonia. (D) Neck CT images on day 14 of admission showing improvement in laryngeal oedema (arrowheads).
We report a rare case of COVID-19 infection with laryngeal involvement. Our main findings are as follows: first, laryngeal oedema may be a critical complication of COVID-19 infection, and CT can be an alternative to laryngeal fiberscopy for the detection of laryngeal oedema. Second, systemic steroids may be effective against not only COVID-19 pneumonia but also the associated laryngeal oedema. Laryngeal oedema is an acute inflammation of the larynx that presents with difficulty breathing, hoarseness and stridor. Although most patients with COVID-19 experience upper airway symptoms, laryngeal oedema should be considered because it may cause sudden obstruction of the upper airway requiring rapid airway management. It is mainly caused by bacterial infection, injury from smoke and heat inhalation and as a complication of intubation.1 2 There have been several case reports of laryngeal oedema in COVID-19.3 However, all patients were diagnosed with postextubation laryngeal oedema. Our patient did not receive any intervention that could have caused laryngeal injury, such as intubation or suctioning. In addition, he had no smoking history or evidence of bacterial infection. Consequently, we considered that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 directly infected the larynx. As the mechanism of laryngeal involvement in COVID-19 is unclear, further studies are warranted.
In conclusion, we encountered a unique case of COVID-19 infection with laryngeal involvement. In this case, laryngeal involvement developed 7 days after hospitalisation. This case highlights that COVID-19 infection may cause life-threatening upper airway symptoms.
laryngeal oedema may be a critical complication of COVID-19 infection, and CT can be an alternative to laryngeal fiberscopy for the detection of laryngeal oedema.
Systemic steroids may be effective against not only COVID-19 pneumonia but also the associated laryngeal oedema.

I was not sure what to think of Pajama Party:The Story in the beginning. Within the first couple chapters, I was hooked. I found this quick story to be inspiring with an element of faith, hope and the power of forgiveness. I love how Karen has grown and made a change for the better. I admire her strength and bravery in trying to help her friends make a change, as well. She took a risk by having a pajama party and inviting old and new friends, as well as, those she was not close to or had been mean to in the past.
I am giving Pajama Party: The Story four stars. I think many readers would enjoy reading it and find inspiration within the pages. I recommend it, especially for preteen and young teenage readers. They would definitely relate with the characters and what they are going through. Many readers would learn some very important lessons.
The White City is quite an interesting read. I have read about H H Holmes and it was fascinating to see him part of a story in a fictional book. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery that surrounds Winnifred Wylde. I had no problem reading this whole book in just a few hours.
I am giving The White City a well deserved five plus stars. I can not wait to find out where Grace Hitchcock's imagination takes the reader in her next release.
This book made me laugh a little then cry a lot, and then left me very happy. I love it when a book can do that - keep me up reading until 2:00 in the morning, yet feel like it was totally worth it! ~Teresa I'll be honest, fantasy and time travel are not genres I usually read. Because of this, I was a little overwhelmed at the beginning, but eventually found myself sucked into the story and had a hard time putting it down. Gareth and Catherine are so sweet together. I love their give and take with one another. They complement each other so nicely. ~Melissa This was so exciting and lovely how it all came together. I could see just how it all played out in my mind as I read. Excitement and danger was there, love and denial also. Two hearts brought together through time only for one to think they would bring the other down. Great ending and am looking forward to the next in the series. ~Lady the Owls Whenever Catherine had observed anomalies at Twickenham Manor, they'd always seemed to come from upstairs. Since the first time Catherine had toured the house, she'd felt a pull to seek out whatever was up those stairs. She let out a breath; she should return to the ballroom. The Americans were passing her, and the tall woman who'd been crying said something that sent a chill down Catherine's spine. "I can't bear that they're all dead now." Dead? The comment brought a macabre feel to the evening, and Catherine's curiosity-itch flared. She peered at the stairs again with narrowed eyes; she had to investigate. But, if Aunt Nellie were to discover Catherine up there, would she be banned from coming to Twickenham again? She reminded herself that "curiosity killed the cat." In her mind, her grandmother's voice finished the old adage, "But satisfaction brought him back." Still, Catherine needed to ask herself if the risk would be worth it. These balls had become the one bright spot in her life. If she were to lose them too . . . Then the ever-present pull gave a stronger tug, the sense that there was something else going on and she must investigate. The American woman had said "they" were dead. Catherine was a doctor. Surely she had a responsibility to investigate. Glancing to make sure she was alone, she picked up her skirts and began the climb. Winded by the time she reached the last landing before the fourth floor, she paused to catch her breath, vowing to start exercising regularly. Catherine had been blessed with a fast metabolism, so people were forever thinking she was fitter than she was. She climbed the last flight. The hallway was unremarkable, lined with paintings. Listening for the sounds of movement, she examined the portraits as she went down the hallway. She heard nothing, and she didn't smell blood. One door stood open, so she let the tug lead her inside. The long room held nothing but more paintings. How odd. There were a few chairs scattered around, but it didn't look like it was meant to be a regular gathering place for people to sit together and talk. Most of the pictures were busts of individuals, but in the center of the room hung a large painting of five people, three women and two men. Catherine blinked. It was the Americans, and their painted images wore the same clothing the five had on tonight. She shivered. The young man she'd danced with hadn't attended the Regency immersion vacation, having only arrived that day. When had someone had time to paint him? She'd also never heard that Twickenham had an artist on staff. She studied the rest of the pictures in the room. Some were dressed in Regency clothing, but there were many others that spanned several eras. The one with the Americans was the only picture of such a large group. Whoever had arranged the paintings lacked any sense of design, leaving large sections of the walls empty. That pull came again, as though Catherine had a string attached to her chest that drew her. This time it was to a portrait of a man placed to the right of the one with the Americans. Catherine came to stand before his painting, wondering who he was. He appeared to be a little older than she was with a few silver strands at his temples. He also had what she'd call a regal bearing. She worked with enough surgeons and specialists who were used to being in charge, and this man had that look about him. He also wore an expression of someone with a fierce determination, the type of man people would steer clear of. Catherine stepped closer to the painting. Behind the force of will that he projected, he had pain etched on his face. Her heart ached for him. What had happened to mark him that way?

Dozens protest at Egypt's Journalists' Syndicate against Trump's decision to move US embassy to Jerusalem
Ahram Online , Thursday 7 Dec 2017
Dozens protest protest against Trump's decision at Egypt Press Syndicate (Mohamed Nada)
Egyptian grand mufti affirms death sentences for 13 Ajnad Misr terrorists
Eight nations, including Egypt, seek Security Council meeting on Jerusalem
Egypt's Al-Azhar rejects Trump's Jerusalem decision
Egypt condemns Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital
Protesters burned US and Israeli flags on the steps of Egypt's Journalists Syndicate in Cairo on Thursday in a demonstration against US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US embassy to the city.
The protesters, who numbered in the dozens, chanted slogans against the Israeli occupation and the US and in support of Palestine, Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Security forces cordoned off the area where the syndicate in located in downtown Cairo while the protest was underway.
The protesters chanted: "Generation after generation, we consider you an enemy, Israel," and "Jerusalem is Arab."
The syndicate had issued a statement earlier on Thursday condemning the decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of the "racist Israeli state."
"The decision gravely undermines peace efforts and entirely destroys peace efforts in the Middle East," the statement read.
Egypt has also condemned the US decision to move the embassy and asked jointly with Bolivia and six other UN member nations for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the US decision, which Trump announced in a speech on Wednesday.

GC2018 Day 4 Heats Review
Camilla Hattersley - 800m freestyle heats
There were nine Scottish swimmers in action this morning and all nine progressed through to the semi-finals and finals of their respective events.
Following her superb leg in last night's 4x200m freestyle Camilla Hattersley (City of Glasgow Swim Team) returned to the Optus Aquatics Centre to start her individual campaign, which kicked off with the heats of the 800m freestyle.
Under an intense heat Hattersley swam a well-paced race and touched home in 8:35.62. Following the heat she said,
"I got back late to the village last night and I really struggled to sleep. I'm pretty happy with the time and I think I've still got a lot more to give. Last night's 200 gave me real confidence, I wasn't expecting to go that fast."
Hattersley's final is on Monday night.
Also part of that 4x200m freestyle team was Hannah Miley who was back in action in the heats of the 200m IM. Miley often cites the shorter of the medleys as the tougher event for her, preferring distance over sprint. Her time of 2:12.60 was third fastest for the final and after the heat she said,
"For me the 200m IM is always a challenge. These girls have real speed and I just have to hang on as best I can."
In what's likely to be a very close final, Miley will line up alongside Olympic silver medalist, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor (ENG) and Aimee Wilmott (ENG) who won gold in the 400m IM on the opening night of competition.
Team Scotland's youngest competitor, Toni Shaw, returned to the pool again for the S9 100m freestyle. In her previous events Shaw has gone out hard in the heats which hasn't left her enough in the tank to contest the final, however, the 14-year old swam a steady and well controlled heat to finish in 1:08.00, ensuring there was more to give in tonight's final.
Lucy Hope was also in action in the 100m freestyle finishing in 1:09.51 and progresses to tonight's semi-final.
Also through to semi-finals are Euan Inglis, Craig Benson and Mark Campbell in the 50m breaststroke while Corrie Scott makes it through to the 100m breaststroke semi-finals. Sean Campsie put in a superb performance in the 100m butterfly to finish second fastest for the semi-finals.
Tonight's session also includes the final of the 100m freestyle which will see Duncan Scott chase his fourth medal of the Games. Australia have been dominant in the freestyle events and the main challengers will come from Cameron McEvoy and Kyle Chalmers (AUS). Craig McNally returns for the 50m backstroke final, while Scotland's men will go for a fourth successive medal in consecutive Games in the 4x200m freestyle.
Swimming finals start at 19:30 local time (10:30 GMT).

How many days your users are in the search market prior to converting and how many PPC touchpoints do we have available to influence these users?
Even though Search Funnels offers these insights for journeys within PPC only, the data we unearthed was critical to the management of our accounts. Not surprising when you learn that the non brand areas of one of our hotel clients contributed to 30% more bookings than originally thought (in the absence of Search Funnels).
Well now Google are on the cusp of providing another piece of the user journey puzzle - Multi Channel Funnels are in pilot. This fantastic addition would ultimately enable us to understand the above insights across all online channels, answering questions like: - How do our PPC and SEO efforts interact? - Can we map journeys across mediums and what are the keyword points?

Did you know that October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month? It's a month to recognize the parents and families that have been touched by the loss of a baby and a month to honour the memory of these precious babies.
Love is not determined by gestation, whether a baby is lost at six weeks gestation, 20 weeks gestation, at birth or after birth, those babies are loved, wanted and anticipated. Oct. 15 is being declared by the province of Alberta as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day to bring more awareness to a topic that isn't often talked about. The High Level Bridge will be lit in pink, blue and white on Oct. 15 in honour of all the sweet babies that parents carry in their hearts instead of in their arms.
One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage (defined as a loss prior to 20 weeks gestation) and approximately one in 125 pregnancies ends in stillbirth (defined as a loss after 20 weeks gestation).
Those are staggering statistics showing how many families are impacted by the loss of a baby and yet the topic is still one that is very taboo in society. Baby loss isn't often openly talked about, except within the "club". This baby loss club is a club that no one wants to belong to, and yet when the need is there we are so glad it exists. It is not truly a club, but rather, it is parents worldwide who have also experienced the loss of a baby; parents who understand the devastation and heartbreak that comes along with losing a baby.
When parents grieve the loss of their baby, they also grieve for the lost hopes, plans and dreams for the future that are often imagined right from conception and sometimes even prior to. Sadly, many families are expected to quickly "get over" their loss and try again. Often hearing comments like: "You're young you can try again", "At least you didn't get to know the baby", or "Everything happens for a reason". As well-intentioned as these comments are, they can be very hurtful to grieving parents.
Parents will love a child for a lifetime, and therefore they will grieve for their child for a lifetime. What parents need and deserve is the unconditional love & support from family and friends to help them on their grief journey without the expectation of a time limit put on their grief. They will never "get over" the loss of their baby but with time and support, their grief will soften as they learn to integrate the loss into their lives.
Fortunately, support is available for families that have been touched by the loss of a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and neonatal death. The Angel Whispers Baby Loss Support Program is a program of the Fort Saskatchewan Families First Society. Angel Whispers inspires hope and healing and offers compassion and understanding to families devastated by the loss of a baby. To receive a care package or to find out more information about the support that Angel Whispers offers, contact Lori-Ann Huot, Program Coordinator at 780-998-5595 ext 225.

Park hosts are volunteers who supplement park staff and serve as representatives of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Hosts assist park visitors and support the operational needs of the park.
State parks provide a beautiful setting for a rewarding and memorable park host experience! There are host opportunities at parks throughout the state and each park has its own unique features and special qualities.
Each park manages its own park host calendar and most rely on volunteers throughout the year. Hosts serve a minimum of one month and a maximum of six months; this may be extended with the approval of the park superintendent.
What are the duties of a host?
All hosts provide excellent customer service to visitors and give information on park facilities, resources, park rules and attractions. Given the diversity of Texas landscapes and the varying size, structure and needs of state parks, additional host tasks vary from park to park. Duties may include litter collection, light maintenance, office duties, interpretation or fee collection. Hosts do not perform law enforcement duties. To fully understand host duties, expectations, amenities and policies of the park, hosts must carefully review the volunteer opportunity posting and talk directly with the host coordinator at the park prior to accepting an assignment. To learn more about park host policies and procedures, check out the Statewide Texas State Parks Host Manual.
In exchange for volunteer service hours, parks provide hosts an RV site during the tenure of their host placement. Host sites have water and electrical hookups and many also have sewer hookups. Hosts are required to maintain these campsites in an orderly manner. Further, hosts receive training from park staff and get to be part of a passionate team working to manage and conserve Texas' natural and cultural resources.
For applications and opportunities go to our "Volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife" web page.

This is a workshop series for girls 9-12. We'll take a critical look at some popular "girls" movies (bring your own popcorn!) to discover what stories our culture is telling us about being a girl. Then you'll use discussion, journaling, and art to discover your own story! What's the story of your life about? Did you know you're the author of it? What kind of character are you? What are your values and strengths? Who are your helpers? Your enemies? What sort of story are you writing (not literally but in how you live)? Come join us on a coming of age journey of self-discovery!! Know who you are, what you want, what you believe in - and what you are creating!
