Historic Floods Leave Yellowstone Landscape 'Dramatically Changed'
The unprecedented flooding drove more than 10,000 visitors out of the nation's oldest national park and damaged hundreds of homes in nearby communities

Devastating floodwaters that wiped out miles of roads and hundreds of bridges in Yellowstone National Park and swamped scores of homes in surrounding communities moved downstream Wednesday and threatened to cut off fresh drinking water to residents of Montana's largest city.
Heavy weekend rains and melting mountain snow had the Yellowstone River flowing at a historically high level of 16 feet (4.9 meters) as it raced past Billings. The city gets its water from the river and was forced to shut down its treatment plant at about 9:30 a.m. because it can't operate effectively with water levels that high.
"None of us planned a 500-year flood event on the Yellowstone when we designed these facilities," said Debi Meling, the city's public works director.
Billings had a just a 24- to 36-hour supply of water and officials asked its 110,000 residents to conserve while expressing optimism that the river would drop quickly enough for the plant to resume operations before the supply ran out. The city also stopped watering parks and boulevards, and its fire department was filling its trucks with water from the Yellowstone River.

Cory Mottice, with the National Weather Service in Billings, said the river was expected to crest Wednesday evening and drop below minor flood stage, 13.5 feet (4.1 meters), by mid to late Thursday.
The unprecedented and sudden flooding that raged through Yellowstone earlier this week drove all of the more than 10,000 visitors out of the nation's oldest park, which remains closed. It damaged hundreds of homes in nearby communities, though remarkably no one was reported hurt or killed.
It also pushed a popular fishing river off course — possibly permanently — and may force roadways torn away by torrents of water to be rebuilt a safer distance away.
On Wednesday, residents in Red Lodge, Montana, a gateway town to the park's northern end, used shovels, wheelbarrows and a pump to clear thick mud and debris from a flooded home along the banks of Rock Creek.
"We thought we had it, and then a bridge went out. And it diverted the creek, and the water started rolling in the back, broke out a basement window and started filling up my basement," Pat Ruzich said. "And then I quit. It was like, the water won."
A house in Gardiner, Mont., fell into the Yellowstone River as the area received heavy floods and mudslides.
Park officials say the northern half of the park is likely to remain closed all summer, a devastating blow to the local economies that rely on tourism.
In Gardiner, Montana, businesses had just started really recovering from the tourism contraction wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, and were hoping for a good year as Yellowstone celebrates its 150th anniversary, said Bill Berg, a commissioner in Park County.
"It's a Yellowstone town, and it lives and dies by tourism, and this is going to be a pretty big hit," he said. "They're looking to try to figure out how to hold things together."
Meantime, as the waters recede, parks officials are turning their attention to the massive effort of rebuilding many miles of ruined roads and hundreds of washed-out bridges, many of them built for backcountry hikers. Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said assessment teams won't be able to tally the damage until next week.
Kelly Goonan, an associate professor at Southern Utah University and an expert in national parks and recreation management, said rebuilding will be a long process.
High water levels in the Gardner River alongside the North Entrance Road of Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022.
"This is something we're definitely going to feel the impacts of for the next several years," Goonan said.
As the Yellowstone rebuild efforts get underway, rangers will have to consider the reality of the park's altered landscape as well as potential future natural disasters.
"We certainly know that climate change is causing more natural disasters, more fires, bigger fires and more floods and bigger floods. These things are going to happen, and they're going to happen probably a lot more intensely," said Robert Manning, a retired University of Vermont professor of environment and natural resources. Officials may also be able to rebuild in a way that's more ecologically sound than the roads and bridges built a decade or century ago, he said.
The rains hit just as area hotels filled up in recent weeks with summer tourists. More than 4 million visitors were tallied by the park last year. The wave of tourists doesn't abate until fall, and June is typically one of Yellowstone's busiest months.
Yellowstone officials are hopeful that next week they can reopen the southern half of the park, which includes Old Faithful geyser. Closure of the northern part of the park will keep visitors from features that include Tower Fall, Mammoth Hot Springs and the Lamar Valley, which is known for viewing wildlife such as bears and wolves
Still unresolved is how it will handle all the tourists when only half the park is open.
"One thing that we definitely know is that half the park cannot support all of the visitation," Sholly said Tuesday. The park will likely implement some kind of reservation or timed-entry system to let people in without sending crowd sizes sky-high.
Whitehurst reported from Salt Lake City. Associated Press writers Amy Beth Hanson in Helena, Becky Bohrer in Juneau, Alaska, R.J. Rico in Atlanta, and Brian Melley in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

we have the following passage of interest.
September 25, 1859, he married Miss Ionia Blackstone, great-great-great-granddaughter of William Blackstone, the famous author of Blackstone's commentary on law; also of George Fox, the famous leader of the Quakers; and a third cousin of ex-President Rutnerford B. Hayes. Her father, Ebenezer Blackstone, was born in Smithfield, Ohio, and was a son of William Blackstone, a dry-goods merchant of Philadelphia, and later a resident of Smithfield; he married Miss Ann Price, whose mother was a daughter of George Fox. William's father, Ebenezer, was born in England, where his father, William Blackstone, was a leading attorney and writer upon law. The various branches of the family were allied with the Society of Friends. Ebenezer Blackstone, Jr., engaged in the dry-goods business in Middletown, Guernsey County, Ohio, where his daughter, Ionia, was born.
I would like some help interpreting that passage, in light of the following facts.
As far as I can tell, the lineage here is Sir William, William, Ebenezer, William, Ebenezer, Ionia. It is my hypothesis that the first Ebenezer listed here is my Ebenezer, but that is not really relevant for the rest of the question.
It is a fact (as much as is possible) that Ann Price and William Blackstone married in 1808. (from ancestry.com) Public trees there have William being born in 1787.
It is also a fact that Sir William married Sarah Clitherow about 1760 and had a number of children including two named William. The first, born in 1762, died as a child, and the second, born in 1769, survived until adulthood. There are also public trees on ancestry.com that indicate a son William by a previous marriage (to Margaret Smith) born in 1756. It seems unlikely that any of these children could have had a grandchild born in 1787, as the passage implies.
I have not been able to locate any additional biographical information that would indicate that Sir William had any sons before 1756. Since he is a relatively famous personage, I would assume that his children would be well documented.
So what is the best way to reconcile/verify the claims made in this passage? I have not been able to track anything else down on ancestry.com. The public trees there are fairly prone to error in any case. The SAR/DAR websites are not helpful here as the immigration occurred after the Revolutionary War. I have other evidence that indicates that the immigration probably occurred in 1799, but nothing shows up on ancestry.com -- are there other, better, sources of immigration information? Basically, I have hit a brick wall and would like some additional resources to check.
So after this preamble, I guess my question is the following. If we assume the lineage Sir William, William, Ebenezer, William, Ebenezer, Ionia is correct, what can we say about the birthdates of these people given that Sir William is well documented as having lived from 1723-1780 and the last William married in 1808? I am interested both in determining the birthdates of the people listed here and in learning about the resources available for answering such questions. I will add a separate question for the immigration issue, as it is not the focus of this question.
Since you asked a very broad question, I will give a broad answer.
I have a similar situation in my research. One of my husband's great-grandfathers is listed in a big two-volume history of a famous New England family, and in that book, one can trace his line all the way back to England. The difficulty is, the author and his father, who allegedly spent 25 years compiling this work, did not (as far as I can tell) list many of the specific sources they used -- it was probably based on the commonly-available town vital records, correspondence with other family members, and so on. But the effect is the same as consulting an un-sourced public tree on Ancestry that was done by a well-known researcher and put up as "cousin bait". You know they probably have good sources for what they've done -- but what were they?
The difficulty with starting research on a service like Ancestry is that it is very name-centric, and when users make trees and record the names and dates of births, marriages, and deaths, but nothing else, it reduces people's lives to numbers. But extracting the numbers from the records that supply them can strip away the clues we need in order to learn more. This is one reason why genealogists like Ancestry's Crista Cowan say that most "brick walls" are self-created. We think we "know" things but we either don't remember how we know, or never knew, where the information came from.
So it helps to think a bit about what you think you know, and what you want to discover. Break down your bigger question into smaller specific ones. If you want to verify the information in the public trees, start with what you have -- e.g. with Ionia Blackstone -- and work outwards in small increments.
If an author asserts "Ann Price and William Blackstone married in 1808" then your first question might be what source that author could have for that assertion. No one alive today can know whether this event took place or not -- all we can do is take someone else's word for it. For Ohio Vital Records in that time period, marriages were recorded at the county level. The Family Search Research Wiki cautions that "Parents are not usually named in records dated before 1900." which raises another question: How can you tell that you have the right people, and not someone else with the same name?
One approach is to widen your focus and study not just a single family, but the wider group of friends, associates, and neighbors. Some genealogists call this "cluster" research; Elizabeth Shown Mills, author of Evidence Explained, calls it the FAN principle. See her QuickLesson 11: Identity Problems & the FAN Principle.
I would write up a Research Plan. Start by making a timeline of what 'facts' you think you know, and how you know them. Then ask how you can find a better source of information for each item than an un-sourced public tree or statement. If you have a compiled work like a published biography, ask how the author might have found that information. Also consider how you can learn more about the time period and the community in which each person lived, so that the details in each record you find will have more significance when you assemble all the records for analysis.
The key to finding out more is to look for specific answers to specific questions -- and then, when examining a record that you have found, think about what questions it raises. Then look for the answers to those questions.
The detail that jumps out at me in the quoted passage is that George Fox is a leader of the Quakers, and that your focus family was allied with the Society of Friends. You have an opportunity here to study a community, the Society of Friends -- a community that left behind many records.
Since you are interested in verifying the birth dates in this lineage, one obvious place to start might be Understanding Quaker Dates.
At the end of this months' "What's New at Ancestry.com" video on YouTube, Crista Cowan says that Ancestry.com has made the decision to put up images so that they will be available for browsing before they have been indexed. FamilySearch.org also has record collections with no index which can be browsed -- scroll down on their main page and you can find the list underneath the search box. In order to make effective use of records like this, it helps to know the time and place that your research subjects lived. This is where making a timeline and assembling a historical map collection can really pay off.
In addition to these resources, widen your search by consulting state and local archives, the local historical and genealogical societies, and so on. Check the public libraries in the communities where your ancestors lived -- sometimes you can discover wonderful locally-written research guides describing what materials are available for genealogical research at that public library. Don't forget the Family History Library's catalog, and see what microfilms might be available, or available to order, to be viewed at your local Family History Center.
There is a huge amount of material out there -- there are even newspapers that survive from this period -- so explore a little. Don't make a brick wall for yourself by limiting yourself to the material which is available on Ancestry.com, or by limiting yourself to research which is entirely name-based.

After visiting three historical homes in the Fishkill area covering the towns of Hopewell Junction and Wappingers Falls, my last stop of the day was the First Dutch Reformed Church of Fishkill, NY. The church was closed at this point with services being on Sunday's only starting at 10:00am. I was able to tour around the church admiring its architecture, looking over the DuBois House which is also owned by the church and exploring the cemetery.
The cemetery was the most interesting being the final resting place of many of the 'first families' of the area, including family plots of the Van Wyck and Brinckerhoff families, who also intermarried with each other. There were sections dedicated just to the families and then to the blended ones.
There were also members of the DuBois Family among others. What was interesting was toward the back of the cemetery near the new playground was the Van Wyck Family Vault. This large mound is noted with the stone maker in the front of the vault.

The Church played an important role in worshipping in the community as it does today.
The Founding of the Church:
(From the Church records)
On October 10th, 1715, the Revered Petrus Vas of Kingston, NY under the direction of the Classis of Amsterdam, started two Dutch Reformed Churches, one in Poughkeepsie and the other in Fishkill. This occurred when the population of the are increased and they did not want to keep travelling to New Paltz for worship.

The Church today:
(From the Church website)
The 20th Century brought additional changed to the property. Some gravestones were moved to make space for the Christian Education Building, which was constructed in 1964. The old chapel, a 19th century addition to the property was torn down. The playground is now located where the chapel was once. A Memorial Garden was added to the cemetery in 1980 and includes a columbarium for cremains. The sanctuary's exterior was refurbished in 1975, the steeple reshingled and the rooster regilded in 1984.
In 1992, a condition survey was done (the church is the centerpiece of the Fishkill Village National Historic District). This report concluded that the sanctuary is one of the most significant nonresidential 18th Century buildings in New York, if not the country. The framing is a perfect example of an upside-down boat. While it was urged to pursue National Landmark Status for the church itself, it has not yet been done.
The Cemetery:
In 1995, a report on the preservation of cemetery gravestones was done. A Boy Scout Eagle Project, in 2002, recorded pictures and inscriptions of each stone in the cemetery and created a finder's map of the cemetery.

The trial was performed here, and Enoch Crosby was allowed to escape. This marker is dedicated to that event.

The DuBois House:
The property was expanded in 1991 with the purchase of the DuBois House (named for the founding elder of the church). There is no record of when it was built but with structural similarities to the Van Wyck House made it believed to be built in the mid 1700's. Abraham Brinckerhoff Rapalje purchased the house with fifty-four acres of land from his uncle, Abraham Brinckerhoff in 1790. Rapalje was the man hired by the consistory to do finish work after the church was enlarged following the Revolution. The house served as the hearing room for the court proceedings of the Committee of Safety over which John Jay, who would later become our nation's first Supreme Court Justice presided.
The Committee of Safety played an important role in the story of Enoch Crosby, the Revolutionary Spy. The house was originally located east of its present location and was moved in 1929 to make way for the expansion of the Albany Post Road, now Route 9. The building is used for service to the community and church. It contains the church parlor and offices for the Minister and Secretary on the first floor and the office of the Music Director.

The History of the Dutch Reformed Church of Fishkill, NY:
By 1716, the population of the area had grown enough (though the whole county had only 440 people) that the settlers wanted their own church instead of having to cross the river to New Paltz or Kingston where the two closest Reformed Churches were located. Therefore, on October 10th, 1716, the Reverend Petrus Vas from Kingston under the direction of the Classis of Amsterdam started two Dutch Reformed Churches, one in Poughkeepsie and one in Fishkill.
While Poughkeepsie began building immediately, Fishkill did not begin building until 1725. Tradition and most published sources have it that Madame Brett by now a widow and the wealthiest landowner in the area gave the land for a churchyard while the land the church occupied was given by Johannes Ter Boss.
However, two deeds registered at the County Courthouse tell a different story. The first parcel of land, "it being that certain piece of land on which the Dutch Church so called now stands" was given by Madame Brett, through Jacob DuBois, it being the intent of him that the Reformed Nether Dutch Congregation of Rumbouth precinct "always be kept and preserved as a church or public edifice for the particular sole and only use and benefit of the aforementioned church to worship the Almighty God, in and to and for no other ends purposes use or uses whatsoever." The second deed states that Obidiah Cooper and Esther, his wife, gave another small parcel of land to the church. These records were written thirty years after the fact and were not filed in Poughkeepsie until 1915.
There is also a deed from 1747 in which Johannes Ter Boss sells a parcel of land north of the Fishkill's, reserving one acre for a meeting house. Every published history has this acre for the Rombout Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1747 about three miles from First Reformed. So, it would appear that there was confused between DuBois and Ter Boss, probably due to the old handwriting and a Frenchman, born in Leyden, Holland and a Dutchman. Another supporting piece of information is that there is no Ter Boss listed in the church records of The First Reformed Church, while the DuBois family is prominent, starting with Peter DuBois, the first elder.
It took seven years to build the original sanctuary. Field stone was brought by ox teams and the local inhabitants, and their slaves did the building. Work proceeded slowly because the men had fields to attend and families to support. The sanctuary was a small, square building with a hip roof and a cupola in the center, which supported a bell. The central door opened onto the street as the side door does today.
In 1785 the congregation decided to enlarge the original building. The east and west walls were taken down and the building was lengthened. A second story was added, and balconies suspended by iron rods were put into seat slaves. The tower and the steeple made with beams 18″ square and 80″ long rose 120 feet above the ground. The west end had four small windows.
In the midst of the reconstruction, John Stickland, an English traveler wrote "Here is a large Dutch Church, rapidly going to decay, probably never to be repaired." However, construction continued, and the consistory hired Abraham Brinckerhoff Rapalje, who lived next door to build the new pulpit, new pews and to enclose the square lower section of the tower.
Five years later, in 1795, they hired him again to shingle the spire. With construction finished, the spire was topped with a gilded cock, symbolic of Peter's denial of Jesus. It is actually about three feet high. It is one of the few left in the country.
The expanded sanctuary was remodeled in 1806. Columns were added to support the balconies and the pulpit and side pews were lowered to the level of the rest of the sanctuary. More alterations were made in 1854, when the balconies were narrowed and lowered. An alcove was made in the west end for the pulpit and the four small windows were replaced by the stained glass and painted windows. The alcoves and doors on each side of the tower were added.
The church decorated for Christmas in 2022
The chandeliers were imported from Holland and can be lowered by chains to the level of the pews for service. Gas replaced candles in the chandeliers in 1858. In 1908, they were electrified. In the late 1800's, most of the 'extra' original property was sold for building lots at $100.00 each no one foreseeing the need for parking lots of the future.
(Disclaimer: I changed a few things around from the church history to make it flow better. More details are on the above link to the church's history).

Obama advisor raises concerns
Zbigniew Brzezinski defended attack on US Jewish lobby; but analysts warn against hasty conclusions
Yaakov Lappin|Published: 09.16.07 , 17:17
Concerns have been raised among Israel supporters following the appointment of a controversial veteran political advisor by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Last week, Obama introduced Zbigniew Brzezinski as "one of our most outstanding thinkers" during a policy speech on the Iraq war.
Brzezinski, selected by Obama to advise him on foreign policy affairs, has taken a highly critical stance towards Israel in the past, and has defended an academic attack on the American Jewish lobby which has been branded by some as being anti-Semitic. He has previously served as a national security advisor to President Jimmy Cater.
Brzezinki's appointment immediately came under fire from Harvard law professor Alan Dershowiz, who was quoted by the Politico website as saying: "It is a tremendous mistake for Barack Obama to select as a foreign policy adviser the one person in public life who has chosen to support a bigoted book."
One of the most troubling aspects of Brzezinski's appointment for allies of Israel is his defense of the book, 'The Israel Lobby,' by American academics Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer. In it, the academics attack what they say is an overly powerful Jewish lobby which is damaging America's interests. Their case has been accused of echoing traditional anti-Semitic thought and critics say it is based on faulty scholarship. But Brzezinski has described critics of Walt and Mearsheimer as "McCarthyists."
In an article in the Foreign Policy publication, Brzezinki wrote: "Given that the Middle East is currently the central challenge facing America, Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt have rendered a public service by initiating a much needed public debate on the role of the 'Israel lobby' in the shaping of US foreign policy." Walt and Mearsheimer responded by thanking Brzezinksi. For his part, Obama has distanced himself from the book.
A spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, Jennifer Psaki, defended Brzezinski's appointment, and said that opposition to the Iraq war formed the main common ground between Brzezinski and Obama. "Barack Obama has a strong record in support of a secure Israel and he will continue to foster a strong US - Israel relationship when he is in the White House," the spokeswoman was quoted by the New York Sun as saying.
'Too soon to draw conclusions'
Despite the escalating argument in the US, analysts in Israel seemed largely unfazed by Brzezinski's appointment.
Professor Gerald Steinberg, Head of he Political Studies Department at Bar Ilan University, told Ynetnews that it was premature to draw conclusions based on the appointment.
"This may not be significant," Steinberg said. "Brzezinski is roughly the same age as Kissinger. I view his appointment as being more symbolic, to try and shore up Obama's image as someone who has no experience in foreign policy, so he's bringing in an older statesman to try and bring in a different image," he added.
In addition, Steinberg said, Brzezinski did not offer "a very strong defense" of Walt and Mearsheimer's paper.
"What will count if Obama is elected are Obama's own positions. He has a broad range of advisers who have a long history of being pro-Israel. It's premature to see this as a major tilt by Obama towards a position like the one held by Cater," Steinberg said.
David Ricci, a professor of political science and American studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, agreed that Brzezinksi's age prevented him from taking up a "serious appointment, even if Obama is voted in."
Dr. Arie Kacowicz, who teaches international relations at the Hebrew University, told Ynetnews that Brzezinksi has "a history of certain hostility towards Israel, as seen in the first Camp David meetings of 1978. Having said that, I wouldn't conclude from his appointment that Obama is changing his opinion towards our country."
Meanwhile, Dore Gold, formerly Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, told Ynetnews that while Israel should be monitoring such developments, Jerusalem should not express any view points on what is an internal American issue.
"The question of who are the advisers to American presidential candidates is part of internal political process, and foreign countries such as Israel cannot express views on various appointments," he added. Gold added that "like many other European and Asian countries, Israel must monitor these developments closely in order to see whether to see a potential presidential candidate will improve US relations with their country or possibly disrupt them."

Costa threatens MPs over electricity
August 27, 2008 — 7.10am
NSW Treasurer Michael Costa is allegedly threatening Labor MPs, telling them to support the government's planned power sell-off or risk losing funding for their seats.
Mr Costa issued the ultimatum at a recent meeting of some 100 Labor branch delegates as the government scrambles for support to help its proposal through parliament when it is introduced on Thursday, Fairfax newspapers report.
"His words were: 'There would be no money for any person who opposed the sale'," Cessnock MP, Kerry Hickey, said of Mr Costa's speech at the Cessnock Rugby League Supporters Club.
"I have 100 delegates who will vouch for me."
The comments have been confirmed by Cessnock City Councillor Catherine Parsons, who commented to a nearby delegate at the meeting: "Whoa, that sounds like a threat".
Mr Costa heard her and replied: "No, it's a promise."
The government says the sell off will save $15 billion in the cost of a new generator needed by 2014.
"It's the reality: if the government has to spend $15 billion on power ... this constrains what we can spend elsewhere in the state," a spokesman for Mr Costa said.
"There have been no threats made: it's the treasurer's job to point out the consequences of decisions the parliament might make."
Worried their proposal will be voted down in parliament, Mr Costa and Premier Morris Iemma have written an open letter to several NSW newspapers on Wednesday to warn of the impacts of a "no" vote.
"MPs considering opposing the government's plan need to understand the economic and social consequences of their actions," the letter says.
"If it is rejected, it will have significant consequences for NSW."

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares rose Wednesday after Wall Street extended its gains for the third straight day, driven by optimism over economies reopening from shutdowns to stem the coronavirus pandemic.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 1.1% to 22,581.19 in morning trading. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.8% to 5,882.60. South Korea's Kospi surged 2.6% to 2,141.28.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 1% to 5,894.00. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 1.1% at 24,258.49, while the Shanghai Composite added 0.4% to 2,931.90.
"The theme of reopening optimism has its stronghold on markets going into the midweek, one to likewise inspire Asia markets gains despite the series of ongoing concerns," said Jingyi Pan, market strategist for IG in Singapore.
Among such concerns are the future of the two major economies of the world, China and the U.S and whether widespread protests in the U.S. will set off another rise in COVID-19 cases.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 closed 0.8% higher, at 3,080.82, after wavering throughout the morning. Technology, industrial and health care sector stocks accounted for a big slice of the gains. Energy stocks far outpaced the rest of the market as the price of crude rose ahead of a meeting of major oil producers. Bond yields climbed, another sign of ebbing pessimism among investors.
So far, Wall Street's momentum has not been derailed by the wave of daily unrest across the U.S. that began last week in Minneapolis as a protest over police brutality. Cities across the country have been rocked by violence and destruction for seven days in a row, drawing threats from the White House to send troops in to put down the unrest.
"The market action seems to have a lot more to do with people's confidence about the economic reopening," said Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. "It's happening irrespective to what we're seeing socially across the country right now."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.1% to 25,742.65. The Nasdaq composite, which is heavily weighted with technology companies, added 0.6%, to 9,608.37 after dipping as much as 0.8%.
Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index picked up 0.9%, to 1,418.21.
NASA astronauts launched into space by SpaceX on Saturday rang the opening bell from the International Space Station early Tuesday to kick off trading on the Nasdaq.
Stocks have now recouped most of their losses after the initial economic fallout from the coronavirus knocked the market into a staggering 34% skid in February and March. The S&P 500 is now down 9% from its all-time high in February.
Investors are hoping that the worst of the recession has already passed, or will soon, as governments around the country and around the world slowly lift the restrictions that left broad swaths of the U.S. economy at a standstill beginning in March.
While more countries and sectors are reopening, economic activity is expected to remain subdued as social distancing rules complicate plans to get back to business. Meanwhile, investors continue to keep an eye out for any signs that the reopening of the economy is leading to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases.
In Japan, Tokyo reported 34 newly confirmed cases on Tuesday, leading city officials to declare a largely symbolic "alert" for more social distancing. The Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo was lit red to remind residents. Before Tuesday, daily new infections had dropped below 20 recently.
Bond yields were mostly higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 0.71% from 0.68% late Tuesday.
Benchmark U.S. crude added 76 cents to $37.57 a barrel. It rose $1.37 to $36.81 a barrel on Tuesday. Brent crude oil for August delivery gained 54 cents to $40.11 a barrel.
The balance of this week will provide new data on the labor market, which has racked up huge increases in Americans who've lost their job as the coronavirus shutdowns left millions out of work.
Payroll processor ADP issues its May survey of hiring by private U.S. companies on Wednesday. The weekly tally of applications for unemployment aid comes on Thursday. And on Friday, the government reports its May labor market data. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the report will show the economy lost 9 million jobs last month and that the national unemployment rate jumped to nearly 20%.
Investors will also have their eye on a couple of companies set to go public this week. Music company Warner Music Group is set to hold its IPO on Wednesday, while business information services company ZoomInfo Technologies is scheduled to go public on Thursday.
The U.S. dollar slipped to 108.62 Japanese yen from 108.67 yen late Tuesday. The euro climbed to $1.1200 from $1.1171.

Mathare Brilliant Academy is a low-income school located in Nairobi, Kenya, in one of the largest slums in the world, Mathare. The school was founded by a generous community member, serving students coming from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds and giving youth access to education that would otherwise be unattainable.
Though students are required to pay fees to attend, the school typically allows families to pay gradually overtime, and ends up waving fees for exceptionally needy families. Most of the teachers are local community members, mothers themselves, who were inspired to work for the school to support the grow of their community and the future of their children. Many of them lack technical training, receiving only a minimal salary for their work, and instead use their own passion for teaching to guide their lessons. The school sits on a small plot of land amidst the thousands of homes that fill the Mathare slum, but it serves as a big inspiration for many students and families.
In October 2017, the GoAbroad Foundation founder and director visited Mathare Brilliant Academy for the first time. They were struck by the dedication of the teachers and school principal, despite the limited resources and daily challenges they face.
In the Spring of 2018, the GoAbroad Foundation extended their support to improve the physical structure and appearance of the school, helping to improve the learning environment for both teachers and students. The walls were painted, the ground floor was cemented, and many other structural improvements were made. The results were inspiring for the community, the teachers, and the students.
Read more about these projects we are raising funds for and donate today!
Note: All donations* made through the GoAbroad Foundation for Mathare Brilliant Academy will be donated in full to Mathare Brilliant Academy. We do not take any portion of donations for our partners.

SCRATCHING OVER THE BIG DIG. This past Monday the Boston Globe ran an op-ed piece that appeared to offer a lot of useful background and perspective with regard to the Big Dig fiasco. Peter Pendergast, the former general counsel of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, blamed much of the lack of oversight on former governor Jane Swift and on her hand-picked Pike chairman, Matt Amorello. Pendergast wrote:
As the direct result of the firings and her appointment of Matt Amorello as Turnpike chairman, Swift stopped the ongoing management restructuring of the Big Dig, including the cornerstone of the reform, to hire an owner's engineer to oversee the otherwise unsupervised Bechtel/Parsons....
The leading candidate at the time to become the owner's engineer supervising Bechtel/Parsons was legendary "Chunnel" construction manager Jack Lemley. In the mid-1990s, Lemley had written a report critical of Big Dig construction management. Ironically, Lemley is now leading the investigation of the leaks he might have prevented.
But wait. Two days later, Swift herself responded, not just whining at her negative portrayal, but making specific, factual allegations that Pendergast got it wrong. And today Swift's former top aide, Steve Crosby, writes to the Globe - again, with specifics suggesting that Pendergast allegations were factually off the mark.
Pendergast's charges are serious and relevant enough that we have a right to know whether they're true. This isn't just a job for ombudsman Christine Chinlund, although she might like to weigh in on the matter of how much vetting an outside op-ed piece ought to get. Rather, this is something the Globe itself should report.
The leaking tunnel is already a huge story. One major incident, and it's fair to say that this could become one of the great scandals in American history. The story is already going national. Today it's on page A3 of the Washington Post.
NEW IN THIS WEEK'S PHOENIX. From the New York Times to Al-Jazeera, the media try to make sense of the Fallujah.
THE YOUTH VOTE. I've written an article that's in the current issue of Bostonia magazine on a disturbing trend: the disconnect between young people and the news.
The Bostonia article was interesting Dan, although you've got a house edge with me since I'm an alum (CAS'98). I offer this theory for consumption: part of the reason young people aren't connecting with "hard" news is because they just don't have the time. Everything in our culture for the last 20, even 40 years, has been about increasing productivity. This usually ends up meaning: do more in less time. Compressed school days. Two after-school sports. Part-time job. Extra honors classes. Play dates. Fast-paced video games. Ultra-quick-edited TV & movies (ever notice how most camera angles on TV are only held for a second or two these days?). We've ingrained the kids with the idea that if you can't absorb it in two seconds or less while doing three other tasks...either you're doing it wrong or it's not worth doing in the first place. No wonder they have trouble really taking the time to analyze and learn about the complex issues of our world. No wonder the simple, make-a-decision-and-damn-the-consequences approach of Dubya is so appealing to many younger voters.
Unfortunately I don't have a real solution for this. It just seems like it's a societal problem and the media isn't going to change that. Perhaps nudge it a little, but not change.
As an mildly interesting side note, I volunteer and/or consult for several college radio stations around Boston. At a vast majority of them, the college has strongly resisted putting any sort of training program in place to teach the kids the fundamentals of technical knowledge in radio. I'm not talking transmitter engineering...I'm talking basic knowledge of how to talk in order to convey a message over radio. FCC DJ rules (the obscenity morass aside) like EAS and whatnot. How to speak into a mic and segueway from song to song.
The reason given is as amazing as it is short-sighted and I think it does sort-of tie into your article: it's that these are liberal arts institutions and they do not believe in having technical instruction. This just blows me away...all the more so in that I've heard from no fewer than six different colleges. It's like expecting a student to perform critical thinking without giving them any sort of guidance on how do it in the first place. Or to put it another way, do you put a 16-year-old in a car with no instruction and say "That's the gas, that's the brake, this makes it go left and right...now turn the key and get onto I-93 in rush hour"? No, of course not...you're supposed to give that person some instruction first; let them know the rules of the road and some tips and tricks on how to be a better driver.
Is this something our colleges have lost sight of? Or am I just too young (28) to really understand that it's always been like this?

We know that online casino gambling has been around since the mid-1990s, and thanks to rapid and innovative technology advancements, we now have live dealer casino games.
With live dealer games, you get to play with real dealers, watching them shuffle cards and spin wheels via a real-time video stream. Live casino games provide all the thrills of land-based casinos along with all the perks you've grown to love about online casino gambling, including massive real money bonuses, the most advanced technology from top providers and an exceptional variety of games.
But what exactly are live casino games and what can they bring to your virtual table (or roulette wheel)?
Live dealer casinos, firstly, are a stunning combination of online and land-based casinos. When we were first introduced to online casinos, online gambling sky-rocketed in popularity. But there was always something missing. Something to capture the true essence of gambling. And it is this something that led to the innovative creation of live dealer casino games, online games that you can play at home with the feel of a real brick and mortar casino.
There's no exact date to pin on live dealer casinos, but what we do know is that when they did hit the iGaming market, people were ecstatic. You really can't be the idea of playing with a live dealer in the comfort of home (or wherever you are, thanks to mobile casinos). Live dealer casinos were and still are the cherry on top of the online casino gaming experience.
Live dealers, as the name suggests, focus on games where there is a real live dealer. This means that games live games involves a croupier, and therefore you can find variations of live roulette, live blackjack, live baccarat, live Texas Hold'em and several other table games at the online casinos on the list at Handpicked Casinos.
So, if you're getting excited about online casino live games, we need to take a closer look at the games themselves and what you can expect.
Just the same as regular roulette you'd play at an online casino, live roulette includes all the famous basics – the wheel, the board, buttons for controlling your chip selection – you get the idea. With live casino roulette, you typically get to play with an American wheel that sports two zero sections. You can place your bets the same way you would playing regular online roulette, and the bet is, as usual, noted by the software.
But there is a difference when playing live roulette. Rather than waiting for the computer software to randomly spin the ball, an actual live dealer spins the ball on an actual wheel. When the ball comes to a stop, the results are displayed on the screen and also announced by your professional croupier.
Very similar to the fast-paced world of World Series of Poker, live Texas Hold'em sees both you and the dealer receive two cards face down. The aim, as per normal, is to make the best possible hand from your two cards and the set of 5 community cards that lie face up in the middle of the table. Rather than betting against other players, though, you get to bet on the odds of your hand improving against your live dealer's. All you have to do is beat the dealer to win.
Live dealer Texas Hold'em is a fantastic game since you get to interact with a real dealer in real-time, with you wherever you may be and your dealer in a live casino studio. This is one live casino game that lends itself to great chat as you try to beat the dealer. It's a fast and furious game with the potential for big wins.
Do you just to stand and hit while trying your best not to go bust? If so, you have got to try the best possible version of online blackjack – live blackjack! With this variant, you can play your favourite online blackjack games with your cards being dealt by a live dealer from a land-based casino environment.
The blackjack rules are really simple – you are dealt two cards and you can either continuing hitting cards to try and get to 21 without going bust. Simply beat the dealer to win.
When you pull up a virtual chair at a live blackjack table, the live dealer actually shuffles and deals a real deck of cards with smart cameras picking up which cards are dealt so you can see, usually in high-definition. Since the outcome of the live game is based on real-time play, you can rest assured that live blackjack is 100 percent fair.
Baccarat has got to be one of the classics of land-based casinos. With this game, you take on the bank to make the best two-card hand. Part of the thrills of live dealer baccarat is seeing your opening in real-time, face to face, which is why like live hold'em and live blackjack, it beats playing regular online baccarat without a doubt.
At Handpicked Casinos, we find the best live baccarat casinos around to make sure you get the full, immersive and highly interactive live casino experience.
As you can see, a live dealer casino is a mixture of all the best features of online and land-based casinos. Live dealers deal on camera, while you get to play from behind your computer screen or mobile device.
Live dealer casino games work the same way as online-based or live casino games, following all the same rules. The only difference is that there is a human on camera dealing cards or spinning the roulette wheel. You even get to interact with the dealer and other players, all in real-time.
More and more online casinos and software developers have made live dealer casinos available on mobile gaming. The availability of live dealer games on mobile from a particular casino will depend on the operator and its app structure. Just remember that live games use a lot of mobile data, so rather use a wireless connection when playing on your mobile device.
While live dealer games follow the same gameplay and rules, they may be a little slower, and they often demand higher bets. However, we've scoured the internet to bring you all the different live casino options to suit your gameplay and your budget. It's the dealers that make the experience Live dealer casinos are made by the dealers. A good live dealer casino has presentable, friendly staff who attract players to the live tables.
Live dealer game time restrictions depend on other players as well as the dealer. The games tend to run with a pace closer to land-based casino games.
Reputable casinos stay away from unfair practices to retain their loyal players. All the casinos we review hold licensed and are regulated by highly renowned gambling authorities, so you're assured fair and safe live dealer gaming.
With so many innovations popping up every day, you can only expect the world of live casino games to expand and improve.
Already, there are plenty of highly recommended casinos on the list here at Handpicked Casinos that offer an impressive assortment of live casino games. Take a look around and you'll find everything from standard live casino games we've mentioned here to some unique versions, too. Try placing some blackjack side bets, try your luck at 3-Card Poker and immerse yourself in the all-exciting world of live casino games that uses several camera angles and high-definition video streaming to bring you the most interactive full-view real-deal experience around.
There's one thing we must point out, though. As remarkable as live casino games are, nothing quite so visually impressive and technology-advanced can run at the speed of lightning on just any internet connection. There's a chance you could find your computer runs a tiny bit slower when playing live casino games, but for most people, there's no issue and you'll hardly notice a difference.
When you play live casino games, you really do get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Live dealer games offer all the convenience of online gaming along with the thrills of a real casino. Thanks to today's high-definition live streaming and technology advancements, you're sure to feel as though you're sitting at a real table, complete with your presentable and professional real dealer and other players.
All that's left to do is learn a game, pick a live dealer and immerse yourself in the world of live casino games!


The closest we may get to guilt-free chocolate! These chocolate cakes are a cunning way of boosting your vege intake - even better, the barely discernible beetroot ensures these cakes remain moist.
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease the individual moulds thoroughly. Cream the butter and sugar until pale. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Fold the cocoa into the beetroot, and then fold through the sour cream. Fold this mixture into the creamed butter and eggs. Lastly, fold through the flour and spoon into the moulds.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
To make the ganache, gently heat the chocolate and cream together in a bowl over simmering water, stirring gently to combine once the chocolate has melted. Cool, then spoon over cakes.

		 wait in the priority line, and from there they can bypass the regular line. The other
		 line is just a regular line system, the person gets in line, and eventually they will
		 be allowed out of the line once it is their turn.

We did not 'raid' Ambode's home, we're merely 'investigating' him —EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC) on Tuesday denied that it raided the Epe, Lagos residence of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
The commission noted, that it did not carry out illegal acts not in line with its mandate, and that it was merely investigating Ambode, amongst other former governors, as they were no longer covered by immunity.
EFCC spokesperson, Tony Orilade who stated this in a release to newsmen, said "We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid Ambode's house. It is instructive that his administration, like other former governors is under investigation, since they no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.
"The Commission hereby states with high sense of responsibility that the operatives did not raid Ambode's residence.

"Whatever the Commission is presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law.
"We wish to inform the social media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of the Commission.
"As a tradition, the Commission does not carry out investigation on the pages of the newspapers or through the media. Our operations are always covert until at a time when we file charges in court.
"Therefore, the attempt to cast the Commission in a bad light is unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in illegal act. We remain committed to the war against corruption".

World unrest fueled by populist illusions
By Dave Petteys (dpetteys@comcast.net) For those of us who love freedom and democracy, it is disturbing to see the losses we are suffering around the world to populist movements. We couch our arguments for democracy in the context of advanced and wealthy countries unconsciously, possibly not recalling the desperation among the poor of the world.
To the teeming masses in Caracas, waiting a couple of centuries for a prosperous society to develop isn't appealing. Along comes Hugo Chavez, who confiscates the wealth of the country and redistributes it to the poor, who then think he is wonderful. That an armed thug doesn't know a thing about running an economy doesn't even cross their minds. His militarization of Venezuelan society will lead to oppression, war, and deeper poverty. A butcher's bill will come due eventually, and will be paid by the very poor that now extol the man.
A comment on the role of the press is in order here. The left wing press fancies itself populist, in solidarity with the plight of the poor. They like nothing better than to report on the hypocrisy and the excess of the "ruling elite". Yet, once a Hugo Chavez takes over, the criticism ceases! Though without a doubt the Chavez inner circle has taken over the big houses, and is living lavishly, nothing is said about them. Not only is criticism "not necessary now that the people are in power", most editors know it can be very hazardous to one's health to dwell on such things. It's much safer to bash President Bush who does not send little men with guns to call on those who criticize him.
In the Middle East, terrorist organizations like Hamas are praised and garner support for setting up schools and clinics. But when their Madrassas teach the killing of unbelievers, that Jews and Christians are monkeys and pigs and the virtue of suicide bombing, is this really a productive education that will bring Middle Eastern society into the 21st Century? Though liberal society condemns child soldiers in Africa on a regular basis, nothing is said of the Hamas videos of 10-year-olds, armed and dressed in camouflage, marching in formation chanting "We are Hamas, death to America and death to the Jews".
If freedom and democracy are to survive, (if we are to survive) we need to bring the benefits of our system to people in a more tangible way more quickly. But it needs to go beyond the Robin Hood approach of redistribution, which destroys wealth. The nine million Iraqi purple thumbs and the pontificating about Jeffersonian principles may not have time to work otherwise. It may be that housing, sewage systems, and medical clinics are as strategic as training armed forces and the transfer of military equipment. If we are to spread democracy, a new paradigm is called for. It's time for the thinkers on the right to contemplate such matters.

New term for Graduate Students' Association
Maddy CuttsMay 18, 20163 mins read
The 2016-17 management team has been announced for the Wilfrid Laurier University Graduate Students' Association.
Following the election of current president Samantha Deeming in February, vice-president positions were opened to candidates.
The process included an online application, where candidates submitted a resume and cover letter, explaining their vision for the GSA in the upcoming year and culminated in an interview process involving Deeming, Ian Muller, the outgoing president and Ellen Menage, the GSA's executive director.
"I was looking for people to fill where my strengths aren't, so where my weaknesses are," said Deeming.
"I'm looking at what skills they can provide to each position and how does that help me be successful in the role of bettering the graduate student experience."
The new team is starting off the year with a focus on small, incremental projects — certain to be achievable — rather than pushing themselves to accomplish massive projects.
"In terms of the graduate population, we're looking at addressing gaps in the services that we currently offer and the value that we're able to offer to the graduates and seeing what we can do to close some of the gaps in ways that haven't been done before," said Jessica Siegel, vice-president of student development.
"Really looking critically at what the needs of our graduate population are and keeping in mind that the graduate population is so diverse."
This diversity is reflected not solely in the GSA's membership population, but also within its management team members.
This has allowed the association to gain insight into the needs and desires of a myriad of students, all in an attempt to improve the graduate experience for as many of its members as possible — an effort which has not gone unnoticed.
"I am an international student, specifically. I had a pretty good experience in orientation week and all of the reservations and nervousness that I had coming into a new country from India, from so far … the whole experience was pretty wonderful," said Debashish Mondal, vice-president of corporate services.
"So I wanted to get more involved with [the GSA] and do some things for other graduate students that come here, especially other international students."
Along with representing a diverse group of students, the graduate student population is additionally split between faculties, programs and locales.
All of these factors can render central planning difficult, a fault the GSA plans on combatting through increased mobility and visibility across all of Laurier's campuses.
"We're in the midst of restructuring our strategic plans this year and so that has been one of our main focuses in developing the plan … we understand that there's different needs across campuses and it's not just about offering different campuses to come to Waterloo for events that we're having," said Natalie Gleba, vice-president of student experience.
"They don't want to be coming to our campus, they don't want to feel like Waterloo is the central campus. So we're going to try focusing on campus focused events and holding different campus events for those different departments and kind of making it their own."
The GSA has chosen to postpone the hiring of Brantford and Kitchener assistant vice-presidents in efforts to avoid the trend of hires leaving their respective campuses and are awaiting September's new cohort of students before marketing the positions.

It appears that Congress will soon take up the matter of tax reform, and the economic health of our nation may be determined by the outcome.
The current complex system requires many Americans to use a professional preparer, a waste of resources that could be ended by a simpler and fairer system.
What we need is a flat rate income tax and the elimination of most deductions. This would not only make filing taxes easier and quicker, it would give Americans greater confidence that the system is fair, with everyone paying his or her share.
The economy would also benefit from such a tax reform. Instead of making spending and investment decisions based on the incentives in the tax code, those decisions would be made according to the incentives of the market. Economic growth would receive a much-needed stimulus, producing more jobs.
Replacing our current system with a simple flat tax will not be easy. The well-connected special interests will fight hard to preserve their special privileges. President Reagan had to compromise and accept a more modest reform in 1986. Let's get it right this time.

Q: how to make an image title array I am using the following code to populate images from MySQL database. I want to have image_title for every image which will be a textbox below the image. I know how to populate it but how can I make it named so when user changes the title it will only change for the specific image?
<?php
    $mysql_command = "CALL sp_populate_member_article_media(:param_article_guid, :param_member_id)";
    $mysql_query = $mysql_connection->prepare($mysql_command);
    $mysql_query->bindParam(':param_article_guid', $_GET["aid"], PDO::PARAM_STR);
    $mysql_query->bindParam(':param_member_id', $_SESSION["volow_member_id"], PDO::PARAM_STR);
    $mysql_query->execute();

    while($mysql_row = $mysql_query->fetch())
    {
        list($width, $height) = getimagesize($_SESSION["volow_absolute_path"] . "/gallery/members/" . $_SESSION["volow_member_guid"] . "/" . $_SESSION["volow_channel_guid"] . "/" . $_GET["aid"] . "/". $mysql_row['file_name'] . ".png");

        if ($width > 650) { $width = 650; };
        if ($height > 271) { $height = 271; };
?>

<img src="<?php echo $_SESSION["volow_domain_name"]; ?>gallery/members/<?php echo $_SESSION["volow_member_guid"]; ?>/<?php echo $_SESSION["volow_channel_guid"]; ?>/<?php echo $_GET["aid"]; ?>/<?php echo $mysql_row['file_name']; ?>.png" width="<?php echo $width; ?>" height="<?php echo $height; ?>" />

<?php } ?>

A: You need to give a specific name for input files of each image. You need a unique identifier for each image for this purpose.
Assuming you have file_id field for each image, you can generate form elements as follows:
<input type="text" name="title<?=$mysql_row['file_id']?>" />

Then when handling form submission, you need to iterate over $_POST array to find out which image ids were submitted:
foreach ($_POST as $name => $value) {
  if (substr($name, 0, 5) == 'title') {
     $id = (int) substr($name, 5);
     $title = $value;
     $sql = "UPDATE imagetable SET title = " . mysqli_real_escape_string($title) . " WHERE id = " . $id;
     ...
     // run sql
     ...
  }
}

In this NAMA webinar, Heather Bailey covers the U.S. Department of Labor's recent Final Rule which updates overtime regulations. Is your company ready to comply with the rule when it goes into effect on December 1st? Heather will discuss compliance, applicability of the rule to route drivers and employee classification.


Artist combating depression sometimes try to find an outlet through their medium, just like Edward Honaker with his self-portrait photography. He has produced a portfolio of images that shows how he experiences depression. Falling and immersion in water are common themes in his work, as well as literal loss of face.


Combine the Mini with any other ALEXA camera and you will have perfectly matched images, even on anamorphic productions – thanks to the 4:3 sensor and automatic desqueeze function.
Integrated ARRI Lens Data System (LDS) technology brings the added value of frameaccurate metadata about focus, iris and zoom settings. With these lens settings and exact depthoffield displayed live on wireless hand units, precise adjustments can be made during a shot. The data also allows lens mapping to premarked focus rings and reduces the time and expense involved in achieving complex visual effects in post.
ARRI's approach is unique in that it does not prioritize one element of image quality over any other. To achieve the highest overall image quality, ARRI uses bigger and better pixels on the sensor, rather than smaller pixels in larger numbers. The result is that ALEXA captures a wider dynamic range, truer colors, lower noise and more natural skin tones than other cameras, whether the chosen output is HD, 2K, 4K UHD or one of the native resolution outputs like uncompressed ARRIRAW 2.8K or ProRes 3.2K. This approach is vindicated by the huge numbers of professional filmmakers who choose ALEXA after extensive realworld comparative testing.
Images from the ALEXA Mini are uniquely suited to next generation HDR (High Dynamic Range) displays, which are likely to play a role in defining future format standards. In addition, the ALEXA Mini's camera speeds of 0.75 – 200 fps allow it to be used not just for slowmotion shots, but also for HFR (High Frame Rate) acquisition, which might constitute another strand of future standards. ARRI's holistic approach to image quality makes ALEXA the most future-proof camera system available today, and the safest investment for tomorrow.

Global health insurance card to replace EHIC under new rules
UK residents can apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) to access emergency medical care in the EU when their current EHIC card runs out.
Under a new agreement with the EU, both cards will offer equivalent healthcare protection when people are on holiday, studying or travelling for business.
This includes emergency treatment as well as treatment needed for a pre-existing condition.
The new GHIC card is free and can be obtained via the official GHIC website.
Current European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) are valid as long as they are in date, and can continue to be used when travelling to the EU.
You don't need to apply for a GHIC until your current EHIC expires.
People should apply at least two weeks before they plan to travel to ensure their card arrives on time.
Health Minister Edward Argar said: "Our deal with the EU ensures the right for our citizens to access necessary healthcare on their holidays and travels to countries in the EU will continue.
"The GHIC is a key element of the UK's future relationship with the EU and will provide certainty and security for all UK residents."
If a UK resident is travelling without a card, they are still entitled to necessary healthcare, and should contact the NHS Business Services Authority (which covers the whole of the UK), which can arrange for payment should they require treatment when abroad.
EHICs from EU member states will continue to be accepted by the NHS.
It is advised that anyone travelling overseas, whether to the EU or elsewhere in the world, should take out comprehensive travel insurance.

UPDATE ON OVOC'S PLANS FOR THE SPRING MUSICAL, MAMMA MIA!
On April 27, 2020 the Board of Directors for the Okanogan Valley Orchestra & Chorus voted to reschedule the 2020 community musical, Mamma Mia!, to the community musical time slot for May, 2021. We are so excited to present this fun-filled show and believe that postponing it until next year will allow for it to go on.
The Board was in full swing with the task of soliciting donors and advertisers for the show and there will be many of you who have already committed to assisting with this year's production. If you are willing to extend your commitment into next year, we are so very grateful. If you would prefer to reconsider again when the time comes next season, please communicate your wishes via contact@ovocmusic.org. The Board will be contacting the season ticket holders who were guaranteed a seat for the musical this year to resolve how that will work for next year.
Director Judy Johnston and Producer Julie Alley will continue with the show, as will the major leading cast members and staff. Judy hopes to keep the full cast intact, although some parts will need to be recast. Meanwhile, write yourself a reminder that Mamma Mia! will hit the stage on May 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 2021!
