Over the past few months I find myself very short tempered and getting irritable with the least amount of stimuli. This is completely out of character for me and how do I change this? I realize that I am doing it and can't help the way I feel. Otherwise, I feel good and happy, no other signs of depression or any other symptoms. What do you think is going on?
I don't feel extra stress, and things are good with my family and work. I just don't understand my change with my patience lately.
There must be some cause for this. Discuss the problem with a psychiatrist.

"As the mural took shape the citizens of the Borough began to share the pride they felt for their community... the mural and the borough were both transformed together... the mural project sets a significant milestone along our revitalization path."
John Brown, Mayor of Bangor, PA.
After the success of the "Our Town" mural, members of the Bangor Main Street Design Committee were looking for a follow up project that would have an even greater impact.
In 2011, the Bangor Trust building at 15 Broadway was selected as the "canvas". For years the west wall of the building was covered with random splashes of enamel. It needed an upgrade.
Members of the design committee met with the lead artist, Jim Gloria over a period of 6 months with the guidance of a curator from the Slate Belt Heritage Center. Gradually, a design emerged: The mural would celebrate the centennial of the town homecoming known as "Old Home Week".
Art students participated in free mural classes for 12 days in June of 2012, studying mural design, rendering and execution. They researched historic architecture and clothing of the period, and discussed traditional painting materials and techniques as a prelude to actively taking part in the mural painting on a daily basis over the next 2 months.
Students began by preparing and priming the building wall. They then proceeded to lay out the design utilizing a grid-system of transfer, using practical math and geometry concepts in order to accurately proportion the final image. Painting began with instruction on mixing paint, color theory, and painting techniques. Students were encouraged to critically evaluate their work, engaging continually in assessment and solutions.
In 2011 Totts Gap Arts Institute helped produce the independent feature film "My Best Day". Shot entirely in the Slate Belt over 3 weeks in June and July of that summer, the film garnered rave reviews, and was selected to premier at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012. (It now can be seen on Netflix)
This led to the creation of a documentary short you can see here about the making of "Old Home Week".

Live Feed Spoilers: New HoH to create a new alliance?
MARCH 24, 2022 | Posted By: jpowell
By John Powell – GlobalTV
The visual artist has drawn up a much needed win.
Jessica Gowling is the new Head of Household.
Jessica picked the brain of the other notable outsider, Kevin, in the HoH bathroom away from the prying ears and eyes of the other houseguests.
"I really think this was the one to win," said Kevin congratulating them.
"We are totally expendable to the others," Jessica replied.
"We are," Kevin agreed.
Jessica reminded Kevin that Jacey-Lynne and Gino are the keys to their strategy as they are on the outside now as well.
"Nobody trusts Marty and people are already pushing for him. I am not going to target Marty though," Jessica promised.
Jessica and Kevin agreed they have to be selective about what they tell Marty because he is not a good liar.
Jessica thought it was clear that not many of the houseguests were happy they won HoH.
The conversation switched to Hermon and how much they don't trust him at all as he barely talks game with them. Jessica called Hermon the "ideal person to leave this week".
"Moose has been lying to my face for a month too," said Jessica.
"The other thing is do we want to try and build an alliance?" Kevin asked.
They spoke about pulling Jacey-Lynne and Gino in with them and possibly Marty too.
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that after such a disastrous HoH reign Kyle Moore was unanimously voted out over Jessica on the live eviction show.
Jessica though has been nominated twice in four weeks.
Kyle made one last move to possibly stir up some trouble before leaving the house.
"My name is Kyle Moore. I have climbed Mount Everest and on night one I was given a secret power by Canada but if I talked about it I would be evicted instantly. I couldn't use it until jury and now that I am being evicted it is back in the house. Your clue is 12," said Kyle on his way out the front door to the other houseguests.
Kyle explained in his exit interview that he hoped his ruse about a secret power would cause paranoia in the house.

Jennie Garth: This Year Has Been a Rebirth
The former 90210 star lost 30 lbs. and rebooted her life after splitting from Peter Facinelli
By Monica Rizzo
This year has been one of major change for Jennie Garth – and not all of it was easy.
The sad reality that her 11-year marriage to actor Peter Facinelli was ending, combined with hitting the milestone age of 40, sparked the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star to revamp her life.
In PEOPLE's new cover story, a candid Garth says, "[2012] has been a bit of a rebirth for me as a person by shedding that negative space and all the pain associated with that time."
In addition to moving on with her life as a mom to the three daughters she has with Facinelli, Garth began to focus once again on her career, including the popular Old Navy television commercial that reunited her with former 90210 costars Luke Perry and Jason Priestley.

Garth, decided to "focus on taking better care of myself," she says, by shedding what she calls "30 lbs. of dead weight."
By losing the weight, Garth says she also rid herself of the negative forces that once weighed her down.
"It definitely feels like a great time in my life," says Garth, who is confident that she will find love again. "Even through the ups and downs, I'm happy. I'm thankful to be alive."

It's been several years since I have posted. It's good to be back! While I was gone, I got married to a wonderful husband and started a successful career as a high school teacher. Life has been great!
Now, my husband and I are talking about starting a family. I have been on birth control for nearly 10 years, and I'm worried about what changes my body will go through when I go off. First of all, I temporarily went off of it for two months during college. During those two months, I had to take Plan B (because I was young and stupid) and then I got right back on BC. A few weeks later, my face began to break out like crazy. Acne lasted for about four months after that until my hormones regulated again since I was back on BC.
I want to prevent the horrendous break out from happening again, but I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to do so? I've done a little research... I have Evening Primrose Oil to start taking after I stop the pill; I also bought some Apple Cider Vinegar and Zinc. Any other suggestions?
I've also considered weaning myself off the pill by cutting them in half next month and then by taking half every other day the following month before stopping cold-turkey. (I know that won't protect me against pregnancy, but that's okay!) I can't find anything online that supports or refutes that idea...what do you think?

Jerônimo Bueno nasceu por volta de 1598 em São Paulo e morreu em 1644.

Filho de Bartolomeu Bueno, o sevilhano, e de Maria Pires, era irmão de Amador Bueno, o Aclamado, e do bandeirante Francisco Bueno. Serviu os honrosos cargos da república em São Paulo, foi da governança da cidade.

Participou da bandeira ao Guairá em 1628, na de 1633 ao Itatim, foi imediato de seu irmão Francisco Bueno na bandeira que em 1637 atacou diversas reduções no sertão do Taipe ou Tape,no  atual Rio Grande do Sul.

Quando morreu o irmão, a bandeira foi dividida entre Jerônimo e André Fernandes. Jerônimo Bueno levou sua tropa para diante, no fim do mês, atacar as doutrinas do Ijuí,  Candelária e Caaro, na denominada província do Uruguai. André Fernandes foi para as reduções do Tape e começou o ano de 1638 atacando duramente a redução de Santa Teresa, noroeste do rio Taquari. Com isso os jesuítas foram expulsos para além do rio Uruguai, não lhes restando mais que aldeias sobre o rio Ibicuí, mais a sudoeste. André Fernandes sofreu grande revés em Caazapamirim no final de 1638 e retornou a São Paulo. Já Jerônimo, vendo mortos o irmão e cunhados, juntou o resto da companhia e voltou a São Paulo, andando meses sem rumo certo, pois entrou em povoado somente no final do ano de 1639.

Penetrou no sertão outra vez no posto de capitão-mor da tropa  que em 1644 foi conquistar os chamados índios bacãs nas margens do rio Paraguai (possivelmente bacaeris) em domínios de Castela, perecendo então com toda a sua tropa de modo não sabido.

Casamento em 1631 com Clara Parente, filha do afamado Manuel Preto e de Águeda Rodrigues, tornando-se sua descendência tronco de todos os Furquins. Seus filhos foram:

 1 - Jerônimo Bueno, o Perna de Pau, bandeirante ativo que fez seu testamento em 12 de outubro de 1693 no qual declarou: «Declaro que meu sobrinho Bartolomeu Bueno, para ver  sossegado a seu cunhado o capitão Manuel de Camargo lhe deu mais do que lhe tocava 62$500 réis e vendo eu que o dito meu sobrinho os dava de seu primor lhe disse q uehavendo quitação em forma lhos daria, e como até o presente não me deu corrente lhe não tenho satisfeito, que dando-a, mando que se lhe dê, os ditos 62$500 réis»...  Estivera no sertão do que depois seria Goiás em 1664 e 1665 na bandeira do capitão-mor Francisco Lopes Benavides, sertanejou ainda em 1677 e 1685. Não foi casado e faleceu de um tiro de espingarda na vila de São Paulo, morrendo com testamento lido em 12 de outubro de 1693. Seu inventário aberto em 1695 diz que morrera no sertão neste ano, quando na Itaverava procurava alcançar o rio das Velhas. Houve a esse respeito petição do capitão José Ortiz de Camargo (filho de Cláudio Furquim Francês) contra Diogo Bueno, curador dos órfãos de sua sogra Clara Parente (de quem era legítima herdeira sua mulher Isabel Ribeiro) escrito por seu filho, e tendo por procurador o Padre Félix Nabor de Camargo, no qual José Ortiz de Camargo alegava  a entrega de «60 e tantos mil réis ao defunto seu sobrinho Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira para  composição do capitão Manuel de Camargo, como consta de sua quitação e declara em seu testemento o mesmo defunto Jerônimo Bueno» (por concerto sub-repticio que fez seu cunhado Jerônimo Bueno com os herdeiros de sua  irmã Maria Bueno, dando-lhes na mesma composição 50 mil réis de mais e perdoando-lhes os 75 mil réis que eram a dever por parte d sua mãe Maria Bueno, além de 40 mil réis que ppagou por seu sobrinho Manuel de Siqueira, pelo desobrigar de certo requerimento de casamento, o que é público; e assim mais fez entrega de 60 e tantos mil réis ao defunto seu sobrinho Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira para composição do capitão Manuel de Camargo, como consta de sua quitação e declara em seu testamento Jerônimo Bueno».

Anyone who loves and knows Deruta ceramics has at least one work of Deruta ceramics in his collection, and possibly a work from Sambuco Deruta pottery. The brilliance of the colors, especially the yellow, orange, " copper green", manganese brown and blue, make fine Deruta ceramics recognizable to every connoisseur.
Deruta lies down softly in the hills near Perugia and from the early Renaissance was one of the most important centers in the production of ceramic wares. Its dishes are present in all the courts of Europe and today in all the most important museums in the world: the Metropolitan in New York, the Victoria & Albert in London, the Louvre in Paris, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, l 'Ashmolean in Oxford, County of Los Angeles, etc ..
We met Lucio Sambuco, the third generation to run the family business of Sambuco Deruta, which continues with love and accuracy the tradition of manufacturing high quality ceramic. Lucio stands for the passion with which he describes his territory and is personally committed to the promotion of small craftsman led workshops.
Lucio, how would you define your work, your art?
Implement, develop, innovate products continuing the tradition of art and history that has always characterized the factories of Deruta. At Sambuco Deruta, we like to create functional products for everyday life to satisfy the personal desire of the man of "beauty".
We are proud of the quality of our products both for the table and the furniture, products that follow the best tradition of Deruta, that of our forms and our "innovative" decoration. In our work we aspire to the master potters of the Renaissance and the designers of the twentieth century.
Who were your teachers? How did you learn?
My grandfather worked in the furnace in 1918, we kept one of his bricks, but officially the activity began in the fifties with my parents. Today, I and my brother Luca drive the company where my wife also works.
I learned from my parents and from different teachers and artists with whom we have worked over the course of our business history. I was born into the company and I absorbed the job day by day, learning from everyday life.
Lucio, I look at a serene person: what makes you so?
I believe that our work at Sambuco Deruta has something magical about it. I could call it sustainable in the best sense of the term: the familiarity of craftsmanship and dexterity that lead to physical and psychological health. You work in an environment where you can talk with colleagues, you can listen to music or radio, you do not perform repetitive work. The breadth of creativity linked to the peculiarities of our productions makes every day an enjoyable challenge.
Incidentally, one of the works of Sambuco Deruta is preserved at the Regional Museum of Ceramics in Deruta with inscription "Your work, both in form and decoration, has respected and reaffirmed through smart innovative effort, the artistic tradition of Deruta".


The editors of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) encourage the submission of a variety of manuscripts. Most manuscripts are submitted through JRME Online Submission and Review System.
JRME publishes a wide variety of research reports that move the field of mathematics education forward. These include, but are not limited to, various genres and designs of empirical research; philosophical, methodological, and historical studies in mathematics education; and literature reviews, syntheses, and theoretical analyses of research in mathematics education.
The maximum length for Research Reports is 12,000 words (excluding references, tables, and figures).
Papers that review well for JRME generally include these Characteristics of a High Quality Manuscript. The editors strongly encourage all authors to consider these characteristics when preparing a submission to JRME.
Brief reports of research are appropriate when a fuller report is available elsewhere or when a more comprehensive follow-up study is planned.
A brief report of a first study on some topic might stress the rationale, hypotheses, and plans for further work.
A brief report of a replication or extension of a previously reported study might contrast the results of the two studies, referring to the earlier study for methodological details.
A brief report of a monograph or other lengthy non-journal publication might summarize the key findings and implications or might highlight an unusual observation or methodological approach.
A brief report might provide an executive summary of a large study.
The maximum length for Brief Reports is 4,000 words (excluding references, tables, and figures). If source materials are needed to evaluate a brief report manuscript, a copy should be included.
The journal publishes brief, peer-reviewed commentaries on issues pertaining to mathematics education research.

Camping is more than just a pastime for many families, it is a way of life. It gives them the opportunity to enjoy a vacation that includes the great outdoors, some adventure and plenty of opportunity to relax.
Many of those who consider themselves to be serious campers own their own equipment. It may come as a surprise to you that they also rent camping gear from time to time. Is it something you should consider for your next outing?
There are a number of reasons why you might consider renting your gear rather than buying it. At times, you might even find that it is the best choice, even though you already own some of the equipment you will be renting. We'll take a look at some of the most common reasons why people rent gear, along with examining both the good and the bad.
When you head off for a weekend on the trail or at a campground, it is likely that you are going to be packing in to a local spot. If that is the case, you are probably just going to go ahead and use your own gear.
What if you were to head off to a distant area for an adventure? This might be one of the reasons why renting camping gear comes in handy.
The airlines have gotten strict on what you are able to bring on a plane. They also have restrictions on how much you can pack and will charge extra if you go over the limit. It might be a cost-effective choice to rent the equipment rather than ship it. That isn't even to mention you are saving yourself a lot of hassle.
Another reason why renting may be a good option is if you want to check out something before you buy it for yourself. For example, you might have your eye on an expensive backpack, but what it is going to be like on the trail? Renting the pack and using it will give you the first hand experience needed to make a wise buying decision.
Finally, you might just be out for a trip and are not going to camp on a regular basis. It is far less expensive to rent the equipment for a one time use than to buy it and have it sitting around your home collecting dust.
Renting camping equipment is ideal for those who are traveling to a vacation destination or for anyone with limited space. The only real con is the price, which is not always going to work against you.
Camping can take on many different forms but they all have one thing in common; the ability to take you away from it all. Taking the time to get out there is a priority for many people and, regardless of whether they own or rent their equipment, they take the time for themselves and their families. It is a part of their lifestyle they wouldn't quickly put aside.


Generally speaking, all documents issued by the Holy See. Formerly papal bulls and briefs were apostolic letters. Since St. Pius X, only documents in brief form used for lesser appointments, erecting or dividing mission territory, designating basilicas, and approving religious congregations are so designated.

Bed Bath & Beyond closing 2 Jacksonville stores
Library due for an upgrade thanks to Friends - and their friends
Amanda Williamson
Pretty soon a tree removal service will be digging up the sycamore trees in front of the Beaches Branch Library in Neptune Beach - and Josh Messinger of the Friends of the Beaches Branch Library worries panic may set in among the eco-friendly locals.
Don't be concerned, he said.
The removal is just the first phase of a more than $25,000 renovation to the library grounds, which will include replacing the lost sycamores, inch for inch, with native hardwoods. Approximately eight months ago, the Friends of the Beaches Branch Library launched an effort to spruce up their local space. When told remodels to the interior wouldn't be possible, Messinger, the organization's president, proposed a complete overhaul of the landscaping.
Work should begin by the end of June. The $25,000 to be spent on landscaping was raised by Friends of the Beaches Branch Library, while the additional cost for ADA improvements and continued maintenance will be covered by the city of Jacksonville.
"The library is not just a library. It's a community center for the beach. There's a lot of love there," he said. "It's not just Neptune Beach that will see new grounds and a beautiful new library. Everyone out at the Beaches will beable to enjoy this."
Recently, the library itself underwent construction for a new main entrance, as well as the replacement of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. For months, the space looked shuttered - and the library system repeatedly had to remind clients that, despite boarded windows, it was still open for business. According to Messinger, the boarded windows upset some Beaches residents and created ill will between them and the city of Jacksonville.
Discouraged by the prolonged construction on the library, the Friends approached Jennifer Giltrop, the Jacksonville Public Library deputy director of public service. She told him improving the landscape around the Beaches Branch would be a great idea.
"A lot of the landscape was dead," Messinger said. "I go on runs in the morning and you would have the Bellagio waterworks show going on out front because of the broken sprinklers."
Enter Rockaway Garden Center.
Since Neptune Beach is a small community without a large budget, Messinger reached out to the Jacksonville Beach garden center for aid. Without hesitation, the company agreed to donate its services without cost to the Friends.
"They did a very extensive audit of what we had, and it came back - not shockingly - pretty poor," he added. "The sycamore trees in the parking lot - their root systems were in decline. Further, they had encapsulated all the water lines. All the irrigation in the parking lot was gone. The roots had been breaking up sidewalks and concrete pathways so often that concrete contractors were coming out frequently."
The company and the Friends created a plan.
But, when they proposed it to the city of Jacksonville, that shook up plans already in the works. Turns out, the city had been looking at completing some deferred maintenance out at the Beaches, which included removal of the sycamores. The Friends quickly saw this as a opportunity to partner with Jacksonville.
However, like any complicated project involving three separate entities, snags were unavoidable.
The Friends and Rockaway Garden didn't want to complete a $25,000 project without the guarantee of future maintenance. As it is now, Messinger said, he thought the library was only mowed when the nearby medians were mowed. Maintenance became the big concern. Messinger reached out to Elaine Brown, Neptune Beach mayoral candidate and member of the Ish Brant Beautification Committee, for help. She quickly set up a meeting with Councilman Bill Gulliford - and then Jacksonville's Chief Administrative Officer, Sam Mousa.
"If we are going to spend $25,000 - and it's more than that if you think of in-kind donations - on a large project, we don't want to see the Friends' sweat from book sales and fundraising go into a beautiful project that then becomes overgrown and unmaintained. Because Florida just destroys landscapes."
According to Larry Ritter, landscape designer at Rockaway Garden, the plans were designed from the get-go to be as native and low-maintenance as possible. He selected plants that would look aesthetically appealing, but also complement the beach feel. To replace the sycamores, they will be bringing in elms, east Palatka hollies and a large cathedral live oak. The new design will include nicer landscaping around the courtyard area and allow for more visibility into and out of the library. The lampposts surrounding the building will be removed and replaced with LED uplighting, which will cast a much nicer glow on the exterior. Messinger says the water works show will be gone, and in its place will be efficient drip irrigation and sprayers.
Ritter estimates the total cost of Rockaway's in-kind donations to be around $2,500 to $3,000 - a piece of the project Messinger said would not have been possible without the donation.
"The library is part of the community," Ritter said. "It's looked so bad for so long. It had been neglected, and it was finally time to fix it up. ... The building won't look the same, and the site won't look the same. It's going to be a place the community can be proud of."
Both Gulliford and Mousa agreed the project was worth the time. With the Friends' investment of $25,000, both Gulliford and Mousa couldn't help but be impressed, Brown said.
"This is a major partnership," Brown added. "The money that was raised for this beautification project, well, the city was blown away by that. ... To come from the community to a library, you hardly see anything like that."
Of course, Brown said, it was an honor to work with the Friends to get such a big project accomplished for the Beaches.
According to the Jacksonville Public Library system, the mission of the library is to enrich lives, build community and foster success by bringing people, information and ideas together. In 2014, more than 3.4 million visits were made to Jacksonville Public Libraries, items were checked out more than 5.9 million times, and nearly 11,000 programs and services were offered to Duval County residents at the Main Library and 20 branch locations. Out at the Beaches in March 2016 alone, more than 16,000 people used the library, with a year-to-date count over 73,000.
For more information about the library, visit the county-wide website at jaxpubliclibrary.org. To learn more about the Friends, visit their Facebook page by searching "Friends of the Beaches Branch Library."

However, when installing 42 vanity cupboard, you need to think about a few essential things. What the first most important facet is the placement of the vanity cabinet. Why do you need to take into account the placement? It is because after installing the vanity cabinet, even it's 42 or the others, it cannot block the visitors of this chairs. Besides that, you also have to take into account the plumbing as it's going to also relate to this placement.
The Sizes: The vanities cupboard have many kind of kind depending on the size such as 24 inch dressing table, 30 inch vanities, 36 dressing table, 48 vanities, 60 dressing table and 72 dressing table. The Category: The vanities cupboard have the kind predicated from the class such as single closets and double chairs vanities. The single chair closets has narrow and a small cabinet and the dual chair dressing table has a wide and more cupboard compared to only one.
If you wish a closet in the , be certain to have the linen cupboard. It will provide the feeling of typical rotation on your chairs. There are a lot of things to do or sew the linen cabinet. Just make certain, if you want the linen cabinet, you need to more additional space in the chair. Then choose the perfect spot from the chair to put the linen cabinet.
There are different size and type of linen cabinet. However, linen cupboard for chair generally will come with the narrow and tall type. This is because the distance in the chair will not as large as the closet or the toilet. The vertical linen cupboard with drawers, glass entrance doors, enclosed doorways, and spacious shelves. You may decide on the traditional one that sit on the floor or the one which can hook to the wall. Deciding upon the proper linen cupboard which could continue to keep your storage nicely will be useful.
Well, we know that some individuals can not overly familiar with the way to refinish chair cabinets. But it is okay if you want to attempt it. It will be more pleasing to do the refinish by yourself. Many folks will feel good with the effect even can be there are some flaws here and there. You may start with staining on the chair cabinets. This is not easy task. In case the chair cabinets still have great colour, you can merely use the coat and dry it.
To redesign the chair with new furniture is going to take a great deal of cash. If you simply purchase a new house and you do not really like the color of their chair cabinets, you can repaint it. In addition, you can certainly do it on your own to save more money. Select your favorite color, but guarantee the color match with the color of the wall and floors. Paint the chair cupboard, apply the top coat and then wait for them dry. The very best part is that by understanding how to refinish chair cabinets, it's cheap and fast. The outcome will be more gratifying since you pick your colour. Just put some little information and you truly feel as if you have a brand new chair.
Successful mobilization: It can place all of the accessories in one. In the event you use the closet and wish to spend the tissue, then you don't have to stand up and visit the vanity cupboards, just move your hand to over toilet cabinet and start to discover the tissue! I think I've told the reason of why you have to select over the toilet cabinet therefore clearly. Can you interest to utilize chairs over the toilet cabinet?
If you want the formal style without the fuss around it, then you can try out the proper arrangement. The sink can be set in the middle and cupboards will be put in the left and right onto it. To bolster the proper appearance, you are able to select cabinet with leg.

2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Coverage
Letang knows better road is ahead
by Michelle Crechiolo @PensInsideScoop / Penguins Team Reporter
Kris Letang cares so much about the Penguins, the organization he has won three Stanley Cups with since they drafted him back in 2005. And that's what Mike Sullivan loves so much about him.
"I sacrifice everything for this team," Letang said.
"Just his care factor for this organization and helping this team win is off the charts," Sullivan said.
That's part of the reason why Letang has been taking the Penguins' season ending so hard.
When asked to assess his play this postseason on the Penguins' locker cleanout day last week, the 31-year-old defenseman was critical of his performance - specifically in Game 5 of the Second Round against Washington.
Letang took the blame for the miscommunication between he and partner Brian Dumoulin that led to the Capitals' game-tying third-period goal by Evgeny Kuznetsov in Washington's eventual 6-3 win, and said it was something he couldn't get off his mind.
"I made a mistake and cost us the game," Letang said.
That play may be all Letang can think about right now, but one play doesn't lose a series, and one play doesn't take away from everything Letang was able to accomplish this postseason. He finished with three goals and 11 points in 12 games, which helped him vault to the top of several franchise leaderboards.
Letang became the highest-scoring blueliner in club history and set the mark for most assists by a defender, surpassing Hall of Famer Larry Murphy in both categories. He already owned the franchise records for most games played and most goals.
"There's no doubt in my mind, no matter what the situation or how big the game is, regardless of what happened the game before, there's no doubt in my mind that you can depend and rely on him," captain Sidney Crosby said. "I know everyone has good games and bad games but as a teammate you couldn't have a more dependable, reliable guy that competes the way he does.
"He might've had a tough Game 5, but he ends up scoring a goal that ties the game to make it 1-1 (in Game 6). It's easy to have all those things magnified in the course of the playoffs, when you lose that just comes with it. He's proven for a long time that he's a big part of our team."
Sullivan likes to say that hockey is a game of mistakes, and that everybody makes them. It's about reacting and responding the right way, and how important it is to put them in the past and look forward.
While Letang understands that, he said it was going to take him some time - a couple of days, perhaps even a couple of weeks - to move past the disappointment. At that point, he wants to take some more time to just focus on his family and just rest. After that, Letang plans on embracing a full summer of actually training - something he certainly didn't get last year.
Looking back on it, last summer affected him more than he expected. Letang played his last game of the regular season on Feb. 21, 2017 and underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck on April 13.
From then until training camp, Letang's recovery was a long and slow process, filled with markers, countless doctor visits and small steps. He was especially limited early on, with his neck stabilized in a collar.
He wasn't able to skate for the first time until July, and didn't get cleared for contact until Sept. 5. When he stepped onto the ice for the Penguins' preseason game against the St. Louis Blues on Sept. 24, his first game action since the surgery, Letang was filled with joy and gratitude. What he didn't realize was he still had a long way to go.
"I thought I was going to be fine and I thought I was going to get over the hump in the first few weeks of the season," he said. "It didn't happen that way, it took a little bit more time. At the end of the day it is what it is, I have to be better."
The hardest part was handling the schedule after not skating a lot during the summer. Letang has always been an incredible athlete, gifted with the ability to effortlessly handle a huge workload. But this year, Letang said his conditioning was not where he hoped it would be.
"It's your body that gets tired with, say, back-to-back games," Letang said. "The second game, I felt like I was not as sharp. It was disorienting the first half, it was one good game, one bad game and it was tough to build because you always remember the bad game."
Sullivan said he had an inclination that it was going to be a difficult process for Letang to overcome the challenge of going through a major surgery and a major rehab in such a short period of time, and because of that, he knew he would have some ups and downs.
"He had some stages in the year where he was really good for us. He had other stages where he wasn't at his best," Sullivan said on locker cleanout day. "It was more just his consistency of play. Tanger and I had a discussion about this this morning. But by no means does it diminish what we think of Kris as a player. He's an elite defenseman and he still is. He had a particular challenge this year that most players don't have to go through."
And next year, now that he's healthy, Letang plans to do whatever it takes to come back better than ever.
"At the end of the day it's not the result I wanted and I'll go back, train harder and get back better," he said.

New Video By Red Shaydez "Lemme Go Talk My Ish"
by Skope • April 8, 2021
A single pair of red sunglasses received as a gift became a defining moment for rapper Red Shaydez. "Red" epitomizes her ambition and ambiance, while "Shaydez" symbolizes her view from the world behind the tinted lens and her nickname. The Boston native established her name in her local scene and beyond. Her creativity expands apart from being an award-winning hip-hop artist; she's a professional video producer, educator, and youth mentor as well. Red Shaydez is influenced heavily by her community, so she makes sure to give back in every way she can. Notable outlets like MTV, Boston Magazine, and NPR Music have praised her eclectic style, as well as festivals like A3C and BAMS Fest. Impressively, she's a "bully of a hip-hop artist" whose supercharged style can erupt a trailblazing explosion.
The 2015 NYC Underground Music Awards nominated her for "Best Female Rapper of the Year" because of her impressive grind and influential nature. These exceptional nominations and distinguishments all occurred before the release of her debut album Magnetic Aura. Admirably, Red Shaydez is a self-made woman; she directs, funds, and services everything on her own. So, in the rolling credits to any work of Red's is guaranteed to be a team hand-selected by the boss herself.
Once again, Red Shaydez reminds us how she's made it so far. "Lemme Go Me Talk My Ish" is no joke and was the first time she commanded her artistic vision with the help of video director, SnapsbyKat. The power duo makes her an icon; she's always winning and staying on top of her game. She's bold, shameless, and unapologetic – period. She reciprocates the energy that she receives, but if you do her dirty, best believe she'll speak up. She plays many characters – from a private school student to the bearer of the church's offering plate – the rapper never falters in her words or stutters in her flow. She whips out a megaphone to emphasize her blatantly expressed bars. The floor is crowded with trophies, and Red Shaydez has to organize her past wins to make room for the new ones. With a resume like hers, it's evident why she boasts the way she does. Anyone with that type of history knows how to navigate the present and the future with just her attitude, her actions, and her words. When the ish is being talked, you better stay quiet.

Construction of flyovers on bypass road leads to jams City gets new dist edu officers STRETCH OF PROBLEMS Charanjit Singh Teja Tribune News Service Amritsar, November 29 Huge traffic jams are witnessed in the city following construction of new overbridges on bypass roads. In absence of proper alternate passages, commuters have to face a lot of problems. Construction firms hired by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) often fail to keep a check on the traffic movement while the construction work is on. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has been constructing two flyovers on the bypass road at Vallah bypass and Ranjit Avenue bypass for the ease of commuters on NH-1. The authority has diverted the traffic to side lanes, where commuters are facing inconvenience. Due to inappropriate diversions, the residents have been facing inconvenience at Ranjit Avneue and Vallah Bypass Chowk. During peak hours of morning and evening, commuters complaint about the traffic jams. Navdeep Saini, a resident of Vallah, said: "The construction of flyover is required to address the problem of traffic congestion on the Vallha Bypass Chowk. But the con- Vehicles stuck in a traffic jam on a road in Amritsar. SUNIL KUMAR struction company should give proper diversions so that commuters don't face inconvenience. Traffic police should also be deployed to tackle the problem." Earlier, the NHAI had constructed six flyovers, including Verka Chowk, Majitha Road Bypass Chowk, Fatehgarh Churian Road Chowk, Ranjit Avenue turn near Anand Park, and Ram Tirath Road Chowk, three years back. Residents said the NHAI should have planned these flyovers years back when they constructed other flyovers on bypass. Jassa Singh, another resident, said: "The NHAI should ensure that the projects complete within the target time. The construction companies and NHAI should be vigilant about the probable accidents in upcoming foggy weather and adopt precautionary measures. The diversions and side lanes should be recarpeted so that commuters don't face any inconvenience. Sign boards should also be installed to alert the commuters." Tribune News Service Amritsar, November 29 Sushil Kumar Tuli, who has previously served as the District Education Officer (Elementary), will assume the charge as the District Education Officer (Secondary) in the District Education Department on December 1. He will replace outgoing DEO (Secondary) Jugraj Singh. Similarly, Daljinder Kaur, who was serving as the Principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Kathunangal, has joined as the DEO (Elementary) by replacing Rajesh Sharma. Tuli has previously served as the Tarn Taran DEO (Elementary), while Daljinder Tuli will take charge as DEO (Secondary), Daljinder Kaur as DEO (Elementary) Kaur has a career spanning over 32 years as an educator. She is also the recipient of the 2022 state award and is the senior most official in the District Education Department. She has served as the Deputy DEO, Amritsar, from 2010 to 2014. She had been given commendation for her contribution in bringing back students to her school in Kathunangal post-pandemic by offering them free of charge school transport. Taking charge, Kaur said her focus would be on giving impetus to infrastructure development in elementary and primary schools in the district. "I have served in senior secondary schools until now and I am privy to the challenges that staff and students face in the process to make government schools at par with private schools," she said.

Tuli also shared that the policy of the department would be disseminated at the grassroots level to raise the standard of education in schools and connect more students with government schools. Cobweb of wires: Eyesore for public, trouble for electricians Five-day PITEX from Dec 8 Tribune News Service Amritsar, November 29 Tangled power lines hanging off the electricity poles and nearby transformers not only are a threat to general public but also a potential threat to safety of residents and nearby properties. A visit to historically and commercially important Hall Bazaar and its nearby areas revealed that even residents of these areas are oblivious of the threat they are living under. At places, clothes and food stalls have come up under electricity transformers. These cobwebs of wires are also one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the way of the beautification of the holy city. These tangled electricity wires are also the biggest nightmare for the power corporation technicians as they often have to climb up these poles to rectify faults. Residents stated that at places, electricity wires run parallel to windows on first floor of buildings. "We have to keep windows closed. These are so close to houses that one can easily touch them," said Sunita Devi, a resident of the Katra Baggian area. The residents demanded that where ever possible, the government should put transmission lines underground. As the Hall Bazaar area is in the vicinity of the Golden Temple, it is visited by hundreds of tourists from other states and countries every day. "The mess created by these tangled electricity wires leaves a wrong impression on the minds of tourists. A better transmission system will not only look good but also reduce the workload of PSPCL technicians," said Satnam Singh, another resident. He said a 'smart city' ought to have smart electricity transmission system. A web of electricity wires hangs overhead in a street >> in Amritsar on Tuesday.

After holding a meeting on Tuesday with various departments regarding the preparations for the trade fair, Deputy Commissioner Harpreet Singh Sudan said such event would strengthen industrial relations. He said the holding of the PITEX was eagerly awaited by locals as the exhibition had carved out a niche for itself during the last 15 years. Jaideep Singh, convener, PHDCCI, said apart from national and international industries, institutions of the state government, PSIEC, GAMADA, Punjab Agro Industry Corporation, PEDA, Milkfed and Markfed would take part in the trade fair. — TNS

Rosie the Riveter: Why She Loved Codes and Standards!
Rosie the Riveter represented American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II.
Raise your hand if you have a mom or a grandmother. Good answer. This is for you!
As mason contractors, we might not get all that excited about the subject of codes and standards. Hard to believe, but there was a time in our country when builders didn't pay much attention to them — until buildings started to fail, unprofessional tradesmen got away with poor workmanship, and lives were put in danger. Laws, rules and regulations usually come about because of a disregard for things like codes and standards. It's important enough to be a focus topic in this month's magazine…but I digress. Let's get back to that mom and grandmother thing.
During the buildup to World War II, military planners foresaw the coming need for airplanes — lots and lots of airplanes — to deal with the looming menace in Europe. How did we, as a country, tackle this problem back then? Head-on, as we always did! Consider the story of Rosie the Riveter and the B24 Liberator bomber.
25,000-foot service ceiling, 28,000-foot maximum altitude.
Non-pressurized (or heated) cabin, –50° cabin temperatures.
Gas tank capacity of 2,700 gallons.
Powered by four 1,200-horsepower engines.
Takeoff weight of 60,000 pounds.
Held together by 340,000 rivets installed by American housewives, called Rosie the Riveters, or Rosies.
With a flight crew of 10, mostly 18- to 20-year-olds manning the machine gun turrets, and with pilots averaging only 22 years of age, it's not a stretch to say that the typical McDonald's restaurant today has an older staff and more years of experience than these bomber crews that saved Europe and Western Civilization.
The military was building not only planes and ships, but also soldiers and sailors — millions of them. Those working in the aircraft industry didn't last long in civilian jobs. Employee turnover rate was as high as 88% per year through the draft and enlistments.
In my hometown of San Diego (a little before my time), one-quarter to one-third of the county's population was working on aircraft for the military — some 42,000 people. At the height of the war years' production, 43% of the workforce was female. Statistically, that's about 18,000 Rosies just in San Diego! Across the country, Rosies numbered in the millions.
How did that effort turn out which produced the planes (and the ships) needed to win a war? The B24 bomber had the highest production numbers, with some 18,400 produced. In San Diego and also Willow Run, Mich., the assembly lines were turning out one finished bomber almost every hour. For a time, San Diego's Convair plant completed one every 59 minutes, around the clock, for a total of 6,726 bombers. Willow Run produced thousands as well.
How does Rosie figure into all of this? Those 340,000 rivets needed to be installed on each plane, or the plane wouldn't fly. Who put them in didn't really matter, but their being put in correctly certainly did matter. The fact is, codes and standards gave the Rosies the chance to prove their ability — and prove it they did!
The triumph of freedom required victory over some bad guys who really didn't care about personal freedom for the civilian population. And that victory was brought about, in large part, through the involvement of the entirety of the American people in the war effort, in the military, the building of combat and supply ships for the Navy and airplanes for the Army Air Force.
Those ships and planes all required rivets — probably trillions of them — all properly installed, and almost half of them by the Rosies across this country. Besides their physical involvement, almost every Rosie had at least one family member or close friend serving overseas. It's a fair guess that way too many Rosies paid this emotional toll as well.
What got me thinking about all of this was a recent news article about a group of some 30 former "Rosie the Riveters" being honored for their service to the country those 70-odd years ago, working at Ford's Willow Run plant. They took part in an Honor Flight, were feted by two female members of Congress, and were met by throngs of supporters, drawing cheers and applause in Washington, D.C. They were given the true "rock star" treatment they so richly deserved.
Similarly, in 2010, WASPs were finally recognized and received the Congressional Gold Medal.
My best guess is that some 3,000,000 women entered the wartime workforce seven decades ago, and 30 is just a micro-fraction of that group — but the recognition was welcome nonetheless.
There's an old saying from a very famous man, thousands of years ago, that before a person builds a tower, he should first count the cost, because if he runs out of money, people will recognize that he was foolish to undertake the project. This is sage advice for today, as well. But let's put it another way. Before an enemy of our country contemplates war against us, that enemy should not only count the cost of the armaments needed, but should definitely consider our women. He would be a fool not to! My gut tells me that we still have millions of Rosies today.
Back to the original point about codes and standards: did those trillions of rivets do the job or not? Did they meet the required codes? Were design standards achieved? Did the planes and ships hold together and complete their missions? Ultimately, was victory achieved? For all of these questions, the answer is a resounding YES!
Codes and standards were the structure, but they were held together by love and determination.

Welcome!-
Rob, Hannah and Nate Young were welcomed into the catechumenate today during liturgy. May God grant them many years!
Prayer Request-
Former St. Raphael Church members Tony and Meghan Carter ask for your prayers. In order to alleviate Tony's chronic liver failure due to an auto-immune disease, Meghan will be donating a large portion of her own liver to Tony. She is a much closer match than any of Tony's relatives. Their transplant surgeries are scheduled for September 8. Please pray for God's peace upon them leading up to the day of the surgeries, for skill for their medical staff, and for successful outcome and healing. A fundraising page has been set up by one of Meghan's sisters to further explain the medical situation and to raise money to help Tony and Meghan during what will be lengthy recovery times. That page is at: http://www.youcaring.com/meghan-and-tony-carter-415834#
Free Lunch Program-
It is our monthly turn to volunteer at the Free Lunch Program this Tuesday, September 1. Anyone who is able to help out between 11:30AM-1:30PM, please let Fr. Ignatius know.
No Akathist on Wednesday-
Fr. Ignatius will be serving vespers in Kalona on Wednesday and other regular participants in our weekly akathist will be absent, so there will be no akathist this Wednesday, September 2.
Thank You-
Thank you to Kristi Abuissa, who has agreed to step into the place left by Tania Van Dinter (who recently moved away) in our choir leadership, sharing responsibilities with Matthew Arndt and Lori Branch. It is a tremendous blessing to have the number of willing and skilled choir leaders and members that we do at St. Raphael Church.
Non-Perishable Food Collection-
As a reminder, we continually collect non-perishable food items which are then donated to the Crisis Center's food bank for helping to alleviate hunger in our area. The collection box is under one of the tables in the narthex.
Orthodox Christian Fellowship-
Our OCF college group will begin meeting on Thursday, September 3 with dinner at 6:30PM, at the Boehm home in Cedar Rapids. Throughout the school year, we will meet on Thursday evenings, alternating between dinner and compline. To stay up to date on OCF events, ask to be added to the University of Iowa Orthodox Christian Fellowship Facebook page.
Vesperal Liturgy for Nativity of Theotokos-
On Monday, September 7, we will gather for Vesperal Liturgy at 6:00PM to commemorate the Nativity of the Theotokos. Please join us!
Paraklesis with Holy Unction-
On Wednesday, September 9, instead of Akathist, we will pray the Paraklesis service and at the end, Fr. Ignatius will anoint all those Orthodox who desire, with holy unction oil, for the healing of soul and body.
Becoming Truly Human Series Begins September 25-
This important way to present our Christian faith to lapsed and unchurched Christians (and non-Christians) will begin at the University of Iowa's IMU River Room I (103A) at 6:30PM-8:30PM. Stay tuned. The success of this program relies on all of us asking others to participate. Word of mouth and direct and personal invitations are best. Our Orthodox faith is a great gift. Let's share it!
Sunday School Kick-off, September 12-
On Saturday September 12, from 11AM-1PM, we will have a Sunday School kick-off potluck picnic with games. Bring your Sunday School students. Sunday school classes begin on September 13, following Liturgy. We look forward to another excellent year!

Zedashe Ensemble Concert, September 16-
Zedashe, from the Republic of Georgia, will be performing at St. Raphael Church at 7:30 on Wednesday, September 16. They will perform both sacred music and folk music in the Georgian tradition. Refreshments will follow. Suggested donation for adults is $20-35 and for students is $10-15. Spread the word. Bring your friends.
Food for All - Kalona-
Summer Lunch season is over. We're happy to report we provided 1,100 lunches: 700 sit-down lunches plus 400 packed to go. Plus lots of free milk and yogurt from Kalona SuperNatural as well as garden produce. But more important, our guests had fun getting to know each other, playing games, doing art, and volunteering.
Please pray for Amy, Bill, and some key volunteers as we explore ways to serve the community between summers. Amy plans to volunteer at the local elementary school to help kids read and to start making more community connections.
Meanwhile, Kalona Vespers on first and third Wednesdays (7 p.m.) continue, though we will miss Tania's beautiful singing! Join us at UCB Church, Highway 22 and 4th St., Kalona. Questions? Contact Amy at foodforallkalona@gmail.com.
Fr. Ignatius and Kh. Maria Speaking at Johnson County Right to Life Event-
On Sunday, September 20 from 5:00PM-6:30PM, Johnson County Right to Life will be hosting an event to encourage local participation in a nationwide campaign called 40 Days for Life. 40 Days for Life is an effort to enlist participants to sign up for shifts to maintain a peaceful, prayerful presence on public spaces (like sidewalks) outside of abortion facilities. This event will be held in our St. Raphael fellowship hall and Fr. Ignatius and Kh. Maria will be the featured speakers. All are welcome to attend.
E-Version of Orthodox Prayer Book-
The little red prayer book published by the Antiochian Archdiocese is now available online at: http://www.antiochian.org/orthodox-prayers
Remember Your Departed Loved Ones With Flowers-
Would you like to memorialize your departed loved ones with a bouquet of flowers to be placed in the church on the weekend of your choice? Look for the new Memorial sign-up sheet. Decide what weekend you would like your loved one(s) remembered, give $25 to the church, clearly marking it for "Memorial Flowers" and your loved one(s) will be mentioned during the Great Entrance prayers and in the weekly bulletin. If your departed loved ones are Orthodox, and you would like Trisagion Prayers for the Departed to be offered at the end of Liturgy, you can indicate that on the sign-up sheet as well.
Keep Praying for Kidnapped Orthodox Bishops in Syria-
Since April 22, 2013, the Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo, Metropolitan Paul, and the Syriac Metropolitan of Aleppo, Youhanna, have been in captivity and have not heard from. Please pray for their well being and release and also pray for their captors as well.
Next Sunday's Gospel Reading-
The Lord spoke this parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.' But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen." (Matthew 22:2-14)
Pray for our Catechumens-
Please keep our catechumens Ilya Buchkin, and Rob, Hannah and Nate Young in your prayers as they prepare to be sacramentally joined to the Orthodox Church.
Holy Bread-
The Valentine family will provide the holy bread for liturgy on Sunday, September 6. Thank you in advance.
Do You Have a Prayer Request?
Please give it to Fr. Ignatius and he will distribute it by email to all those on the Prayer Chain. If you wish to join the Prayer Chain, please let Fr. Ignatius know.
Food for Thought-
"If a man has on one side of him fire, and on the other side a vessel with water, then if he starts burning from the fire, he takes water from the vessel and extinguishes the fire. Like to this are the evil thoughts, suggested by the enemy of our salvation, which like a spark can enkindle sinful desires within a man. It is necessary to put out these sparks with the water, which is prayer and the yearning of the soul for God."

Q: Probability related to truth and false This is not a homework question. I came across this question but then I thought about doing something different.
Question: A person is known to speak the truth exactly 3 out of 4 times. He rolls a die and is asked what is the outcome and he says a six. What is the probability that it is a six?
Method 1:
I can give this question a straight approach saying that since the probability of his saying the truth is 3/4 then the probability that it is a six is also 3/4.
Method 2:
If I go by a more rigorous method, let E1 be the event that the man reports a six and E be the event that it is a six.
$P(E)=\frac{1}{6}$
$P(E')=\frac{5}{6}$
$P(E1|E)=\frac{3}{4}$ (When the man speaks the truth)
$P(E1|E')=\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{5}$ (When the man speaks the false, he could say any of the remaining 5, one of which is six. Since the probability, that the man is false 1/4 and that if he chooses fairly between the remaining options the probability of saying a six if he lied is 1/5).
From Baye's theorem,
$$P(E|E1)=\frac{P(E)P(E1|E)}{P(E)P(E1|E)+P(E')P(E1|E')}$$
which gives P(E|E1) as 3/4.
Doubt:
Now, the first method did not depend on my assumption that when the person lies he chooses fairly among the remaining options. Something could be possibly wrong in either or both the methods. What is it?
Trying to verify whether the same answer in both methods is only a coincidence or not, I framed this question
Modified Question: A person is known to speak the truth exactly 3 out of 4 times. He rolls a die and he is asked whether it is a six or not and he says 'yes'. What is the probability that it is a six?
Method 1:
I still get the same answer as previous problem because it makes sense to again say that since the probability of his saying the truth is 3/4 then the probability that it is a six is also 3/4.
Method 2:
Let E1 be the event that the man reports a six and E be the event that it is a six.
$P(E)=\frac{1}{6}$
$P(E')=\frac{5}{6}$
$P(E1|E)=\frac{3}{4}$ (When the man speaks the truth)
$P(E1|E')=\frac{1}{4}$ (When the man speaks the false, he could say only a yes if it is not a six. The probability that the man speaks false is 1/4)
From Baye's theorem,
$$P(E|E1)=\frac{P(E)P(E1|E)}{P(E)P(E1|E)+P(E')P(E1|E')}$$
which gives P(E|E1) as 3/8.
Doubt:
Now, how does this answer come different. I cannot find any fallacy in my logic in each of the four methods. Where am I going wrong?

A: Operating with the interpretation of the problem I provided in the comments (you ask the man a yes/no question about whether or not the value on the die is a six to which he must respond, the man's decision to tell the truth or lie is independent of the value shown on the die, and the die itself is a fair standard six-sided die.)
Let $A$ be the event that the die actually shows a six and let $B$ be the event that the man is telling the truth.
The event "The man responded 'yes it is a six'" is then expressible as $(A\cap B)\cup (A^c\cap B^c)$
We are asked to find $Pr(A\mid (A\cap B)\cup (A^c\cap B^c))$
We recognize that $A$ is independent of $B$.
Applying definition of conditional probability:
$Pr(A\mid (A\cap B)\cup (A^c\cap B^c))=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap ((A\cap B)\cup (A^c\cap B^c))}{Pr((A\cap B)\cup (A^c\cap B^c))}$
$=\dfrac{Pr(A)Pr(B)}{Pr(A)Pr(B)+Pr(A^c)Pr(B^c)}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{6}\cdot\frac{1}{4}}=\dfrac{3}{3+5}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

"Since he tells the truth $\frac{3}{4}$ of the time, why isn't it $\frac{3}{4}$?"
Imagine if you will that the question didn't have to do with rolling of dice at all, but instead the man decides to spew out arbitrary trivia facts (or falsities).
If he tells you "The moon is made of cheese" you know he is lying.  If he tells you "$1+1=2$" then you know he is telling the truth.  Hearing him say one of these two things lets us know whether or not he was lying just then.  If I hear him say "The moon is made of cheese", even if I know that he lies only a quarter of the time ordinarily, I know that this most recent statement was indeed a lie.
Now... if he says something incredibly outlandish but still technically possible... such as "I poured out my piggy bank and miraculously all thousand pennies in it landed heads up" although we can't outright prove it is a lie, we should be incredibly skeptical of it being the truth as such an occurrence is incredibly unlikely.
In the same way, hearing him say "I rolled a die and it landed on a six", the event is unlikely and so we are skeptical since the event itself is unlikely, but give him some benefit of the doubt since we do know he tells the truth every so often.  Specifically how much benefit of the doubt we show him is outlined in the calculations above.

A: I think the first question has a reasonably natural interpretation (though JMoravitz is absolutely correct that one must outline a specific procedure to avoid ambiguity here). You will ask them 'what is on the die' and with $3/4$ probability they will say the true answer, and with $1/4$ probability, one of the other five possibilities, uniformly chosen. I agree with your calculation here, saying the answer is $1/4.$
But there must be some difference between these questions so that the naive line of reason gets the right answer in the first case and wrong in the second case. It's easier to look at what goes wrong in the second case (JMoravitz explained this in the last part of their answer but I'll reiterate). Note that when they answer 'yes', that conveys some information to you about whether or not they're lying. You've asked them a question about whether an event with $1/6$ prior probability is true. Them answering 'yes' means, all other things being equal, that they're more likely to be lying, cause they've answered 'yes' to a question that had a low probability of being true. So you've gotten information about whether they're lying, and it's no longer coherent to believe there's only a $1/4$ chance... as you worked out, there is actually a $5/8$ chance that they're lying now that you know they said 'yes'.
On the other hand, in the first situation, them answering '6' gives you no information as to whether they're lying. The situation is completely symmetrical and they're just as likely to have said '6' as any of the other five numbers. So your belief about whether they're lying doesn't change and there's still a $1/4$ chance.

A: The probability that a subject would say "it is a six" is: the probability that either it is a six and they tell the truth, or that it is not a six, they lie, yet say it is a six.  Assuming that when they lie about the result by unbiasedly selecting another valid option then the probability that the subject tells the truth when saying "it is a six" is:
$$\mathsf P(T\mid S)=\dfrac{\tfrac 16\tfrac 34}{\tfrac 16\tfrac 34+\tfrac 56\tfrac 14\tfrac 15} = \dfrac 34$$
However, that is not the only way the subject could lie, so we cannot truely claim that is the probability.
Case in point: suppose you ask a different question...

Asking for a yes/no response to "is it a six?" is a diffeent situaltion to directly asking for the result, so obtaining a different probability should not be surprising.
The subject can only lie by saying "yes" when it is not a six, and "no" when it is.   So in this case$$\mathsf P(T\mid Y)=\dfrac{\tfrac 16\tfrac 34}{\tfrac 16\tfrac 34+\tfrac 56\tfrac 14}=\dfrac{3}{8}$$
Why is this lower than $3/4$?   Well, the event of a six is much rarer than the event of not a six.   Thus saying "yes" is more likely to be a lie .

COVID VaccinesReturn to WorkMental Health
GSK says its COVID antibody therapy works against Omicron. Here's what other drugmakers say about their treatments
BYSophie Mellor
December 7, 2021, 12:38 PM UTC
British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline announced today that its antibody-based COVID-19 therapy, made in partnership with Vir Biotechnology, is effective against the new Omicron variant.
The data from early-stage studies, which has yet to be peer reviewed, shows that their treatment, called sotrovimab, is effective against all mutations in the spike protein of Omicron. Most of Omicron's 37 mutations—the highest number in any variant to date—are concentrated on the spike protein, the part of the virus that binds to cells in our bodies.
The preclinical data demonstrates "the potential" of the monoclonal antibody's effectiveness against the latest variant as well as all other variants of concern defined to date by the WHO, GSK chief scientific officer Hal Barron said in a statement.
Sotrovimab is an investigational SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody, or a clone of white blood cells from COVID-19 survivors or mice, which latches onto the spike protein on the surface of the coronavirus and prevents it from replicating in new cells. The treatment is given intravenously and is designed to linger in the lungs to fight the coronavirus as it enters the body.
As part of the study, GSK and Vir have been "pseudo-virus testing," or engineering and testing any major coronavirus mutations that have emerged thus far against its sotrovimab treatment.
Most pharmaceutical companies have been working on their own monoclonal antibody or antiviral pill treatments and rushing to test how they fare against the new Omicron variant, which is proving to be highly contagious but mild in symptoms. Here are the others:
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Preliminary testing of U.S. drugmaker Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' monoclonal antibody drug has shown it loses effectiveness against Omicron, the company said last week. At the time of the announcement, Regeneron said it would quantify the impact of the variant after further in vitro testing is performed in the coming weeks.
Regeneron's drug, named REGEN-COV, was first authorized by the FDA in July 2021 after a study published in April of that year found that the drug reduced the risk of symptomatic infection by 81%. In October of last year, former U.S. President Donald Trump endorsed Regeneron's antibody drug, crediting it with his fast recovery from COVID-19.
Eli Lilly & Co.
Regeneron rival Eli Lilly's drug cocktail also isn't as effective against Omicron, outside scientists found.
Eli Lilly has two monoclonal antibody drugs, bamlanivimab and etesevimab, the combination of which once offered a 70% reduced risk of hospitalization and death, according to its February study. The drug combo proved to be effective against the Delta variant and was reauthorized by the FDA in September 2021.
Both Regeneron's and Lilly's drugs fall short because individual mutations from Omicron reduced or eliminated the ability of each to attach to the virus, Allie Greaney, a Ph.D. candidate at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington, told the Wall Street Journal.
Adagio Therapeutics
Like GSK and Vir, U.S. biotech company Adagio Therapeutics found its COVID-19 antibody drug, called ADG20, was unaffected by the new variant and is currently doing further testing to confirm its resilience.
ADG20 was designed "to combine breadth, potency, and duration of protection" for up to a year after a single injection, said Tillman Gerngross, cofounder and chief executive officer of Adagio, who noted the treatment was designed as the company anticipated COVID-19 would evolve and "potentially render some early therapies and vaccines obsolete."
Both Adagio and Vir officials have said the antibody treatments were designed to target spots on the virus that remained stable across multiple mutations.
Gilead Sciences
Scientists have also been creating antiviral pills, which suppress the virus's ability to infect and multiply in human cells by inhibiting the molecular interactions needed by the virus to produce copies of itself. A big advantage for the antiviral pill is that it can be taken orally, as opposed to intravenously.
Only one drug has been granted full approval by the FDA—remdesivir, made by Gilead Sciences under the brand name Veklury.
Gilead said last week that preliminary testing showed remdesivir would remain effective against the Omicron variant, and that it will continue laboratory testing to confirm this result.
However, remdesivir's effectivity is still up for discussion. The drug was first approved by the FDA in October 2020 after it was part of the cocktail of drugs used to treat former President Trump. But since then, some experts have expressed skepticism over its benefits, and the WHO has issued guidelines against its use.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC this week that he has a "very high level of confidence" that Pfizer's antiviral pill "will not be affected by this [Omicron] virus."
The pill, called Paxlovid, is currently under review by the FDA for emergency approval but showed signs it reduced deaths and hospitalizations by 89% in clinical trials.
Merck said it expects its antiviral pill, developed in partnership with U.S. biotech firm Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, will perform effectively against Omicron.
The drug, called molnupiravir, has been shown to reduce the risk of deaths and hospitalizations by 30% and is also under review by the FDA for approval.
The antiviral drugs produced by Merck and Pfizer appear to be unaffected by the new variant because they target a different site on the virus, Michel Nussenzweig, an immunologist at Rockefeller University, told the Wall Street Journal.
