Vitamin D overview
Vitamin D: 8 ng/mL
Elle Penner, MPH, RD

What does a vitamin D level of 8 mean? Are there any symptoms associated with thisvitamin D level?
A vitamin D level of 8 ng/mL is considered severely deficient. Severe deficiency can occur from prolonged, inadequate intake of vitamin D, limited exposure to sunlight, poor kidney function, or inadequate vitamin D absorption. Over time, vitamin D deficiency in adults can lead to osteomalacia which weakens bones over time. Osteomalacia symptoms include bone deformities and pain, certain types of seizures and spasms, and dental abnormalities.
Low vitamin D may also put you at increased risk for, and severity of COVID-19, diabetes, and cancer. Vitamin D deficiency may also increase your risk for certain autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's.
Factors that could contribute to a vitamin D level of 8
Diet low in vitamin D
Older age (partly due to a decline in the skin's ability to synthesize vitamin D with age)
Dark complexion
Living in cold or northern climates (people who live above 37°N latitude are unable to synthesize vitamin D year-round)
Limited sun exposure (such as those who spend the majority of their time indoors or are covered when outside)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Cystic fibrosis, Crohn's, celiac, kidney, and liver disease, or other conditions that interfere with vitamin D absorption or synthesis
Obesity (larger amounts of subcutaneous fat sequester more of the vitamin)
What to do if your vitamin D level is 8?
To improve vitamin D levels:
Increase consumption of vitamin D-rich foods like salmon, herring, canned tuna, eggs (with the yolk), and fortified foods like milk, yogurt, and breakfast cereals
Get 10–30 minutes of unprotected midday sunlight most days of the week
Take a vitamin D supplement. How much you should take depends on your level of deficiency. For a level of 8, you will likely need to take 5,000 IU daily for several months to significantly improve your vitamin D status.
If levels do not improve after 3 months, review your supplements with an expert or talk to your doctor.
Supplements used to improve vitamin D test results
If you are vitamin D deficient, a daily supplement is typically needed to get levels into the optimal range (40-80 ng/mL) over time.
For levels of 8 ng/mL, talk to your healthcare provider. Daily supplementation of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) should be considered to achieve adequate body stores of vitamin D.

April 23, 1989 – CBS Radio Hourly News – Gordon Skene Sound Collection –
April 23, 1989 – A day loaded with mixed emotions. The arrival at port of the Battleship USS Iowa, where an explosion in one of the ship's gun turrets claimed the lives of some 47 sailors. The USS Iowa turret explosion occurred in the Number Two 16-inch gun turret of the United States Navy battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) on 19 April 1989. The explosion in the center gun room killed 47 of the turret's crewmen and severely damaged the gun turret itself. Two major investigations were undertaken into the cause of the explosion, one by the U.S. Navy and then one by the General Accounting Office (GAO) and Sandia National Laboratories. Investigations were underway to determine the cause.
Meanwhile, the skies above New York were witness to not one, but two near-misses. One was a TWA Jumbo jet, which narrowly missed colliding with another plane, passing just 100 feet above it. No evasive action was taken, and the TWA pilot was filing a near mid-air collision report. 45 minutes later, there was a similar near-miss – this time just north of New York City, close to the Westchester County airport. A PanAm Shuttle flight and a small plane both took evasive action. The FAA said they passed within 200 feet vertically, 400 yards horizontally. No one was hurt in either incident.
The Bush Administration handed out drug-abuse grants to all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, worth some $119 million. It was designed to put some muscle in the agencies doing their part in the war against drugs. Another $30 million was to be awarded later in the fiscal year.
And gasoline prices jumped on average of 5 cents a gallon in the previous two weeks, with the price of Regular gas now going for $1.06 a gallon. Spokespeople said the increase was due to implementing new Clean-Air legislation.
And that's just a little of what happened, this April 23rd 1989 as reported by CBS Radio News, Hourly Edition.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Isaiah Joe enters COVID protocols
Philadelphia guard Isaiah Joe has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and the 76ers are testing the entire team for COVID-19 as a precaution ahead of Thursday night's game in Detroit, ESPN reported.
Joe is averaging 2.0 points and 7.7 minutes per game off the bench in seven appearances this season.
A second-round draft pick in 2020, he averaged 3.7 points and 9.3 minutes in 41 games (one start) as a rookie last season.
The Sixers are on a four-game winning streak, while the Pistons are off to a 1-6 start.

Michigan's new, free community college program: What you need to know
Ron French (Email)
Michigan colleges and universities
July 19: Deadline looms for thousands of Michigan residents offered free tuition
May 22: Back to school: Michigan free college tuition program attracts 70,000
Update: Michigan advertised free community college. Nearly 170,000 have applied.
In what was described as the largest effort in state history to increase college attainment, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday unveiled a program promising free community college tuition to residents 25 and older.
Whitmer said about 4.1 million of Michigan's 10 million residents qualify for Michigan Reconnect. Just under 3 million of those who qualify are of typical working age, 25-64, according to Census data.
"All Michiganders deserve a pathway to a good-paying job, whether they choose to pursue a college degree, technical certificate, or an apprenticeship," Whitmer said during a virtual news conference Tuesday announcing the program.

The Whitmer administration has a goal of increasing the percentage of working-age adults with college degrees or certificates from 49 percent to 60 percent by 2030. The current national average is 51 percent.
Here's what to know about the program, which is costing the state $30 million:
What is Michigan Reconnect?
Launched Tuesday, Michigan Reconnect pays community college tuition and mandatory fees for Michigan residents over the age of 25.
The program also offers scholarships of up to $1,500 to help cover the cost of tuition at more than 70 private training schools with 120 programs that offer certificates in high-demand careers in industries such as manufacturing, construction, information technology, healthcare or business management.
You must be a Michigan resident for at least a year, have a high school diploma or equivalent and not have previously earned a college degree. Current students qualify, as well as those who've never stepped foot on a college campus or who stopped taking classes before earning a degree.
Michigan is below the national average in the percentage of adults with college degrees, which hobbles the state's attempts to attract business and suppresses incomes.
More education typically means higher salaries. Nationally, high school grads earned, on average, $38,792 in 2019, compared to $46,124 for those with an associate's degree and $64,896 for those with a bachelor's degree, according to data from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics.
One in four Michigan adults have some college credits but no degree. Making community college free could entice adults who keep putting off finishing a degree to return to campus.
"This is a big deal," said Ryan Fewins-Bliss, executive director of the Michigan College Access Network, a nonprofit that works to improve college access and affordability. "It's incredible that folks who felt they were blocked out of high education now have an opportunity."
How many people are likely to apply?
A similar program limited just to pandemic essential workers, called Futures for Frontliners, drew 120,000 applications. This broader program likely will attract hundreds of thousands of applicants, said Fewins-Bliss.
Will going to college now cost nothing?
The program pays for tuition and mandatory fees. Students likely will still have to pay for books, as well as things like transportation to and from class (if classes are held in-person).
Do I have to apply immediately?
Applications began Tuesday. There is no cut-off date.
How long does the benefit last?
Both full- and part-time students qualify for Michigan Reconnect. Students qualify for the benefit for up to four years following their enrollment in their first class using Michigan Reconnect funding.
Who's paying for this?
The average community college tuition and mandated fees in Michigan is about $4,000 per year, but the cost varies wildly between students because many community college students take only one or two classes at a time.
The state has set aside $30 million for the program this budget year. The majority of tuition costs likely will be picked up by federal Pell grants, which is money for college that doesn't have to be paid back, available to low- and moderate-income families.
Pell grants cover up to $6,195 a year for students in families with adjusted gross incomes of $26,000 or less. Students earning up to $60,000 qualify for smaller Pell grants.
Students who don't qualify for Pell grants because they earn above $60,000, or who have college costs beyond what Pell will pay, will have the difference paid through state-funded Michigan Reconnect.
Community colleges can help students till out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which determines eligibility for Pell grants.
When will these funds be available to pay for tuition?
Those who apply soon could qualify for tuition payments this summer.
Will Michigan Reconnect pay for two years of a four-year university rather than community college?
The program is only available for students at state community colleges and some professional training centers. Students can, though, earn credits at a community college that can be transferred to a four-year school.
Has this been done in other places?
Tennessee has operated a similar program since 2014. There, between 16,000 and 17,000 students enroll in college annually through the free-tuition program.
Is this a program that will disappear when a new administration takes over the governor's office?
Michigan Reconnect may be safer than some other initiatives from the Democratic governor because it has bipartisan support.
The program is funded for this year, but Whitmer was joined at her announcement Tuesday by Ken Horn, R-Frankenmuth, who heads the committee that would appropriate future funds for Michigan Reconnect.
"This will take a high priority" on his committee, Horn promised. "The ability to find highly skilled and capable employees is more difficult than ever."
John Walsh, CEO of the Michigan Manufacturers Association, also praised the initiative. "It is in every sense a win-win for everybody," Walsh said at the press conference. "It allows our citizens to skill up and get promotions and allows employers to fill positions."
Tennessee Reconnect has similarly broad, bipartisan support.
What's the biggest concern about the program?
Getting adults into college is good, but it doesn't mean they'll earn a degree.
Lou Glazer, president of Ann Arbor-based think tank Michigan Future, warned that tuition is only one barrier to degree attainment. "A lot of adults, the reason they don't complete are other life issues, they're raising kids, working a job. So you have to structure a program so they can lead their lives.
"Second, there are real financial costs beyond tuition, like books and living expenses. And third, a lot of people are not ready academically to go back to school, and schools are not terrific at taking people who have academic foundational issues and getting them to a degree.
"You have to address all the issues (for the program) to be successful," Glazer said.
You can apply here.

Episode from the podcastHow It Began: A History of the Modern World
Monumental Infrastructure: From Stonehenge to the Golden Gate Bridge
Released Thursday, 27th April 2017
In this episode, historian Brad Harris unearths the history of engineering that has made possible the biggest construction projects of all time, from Stonehenge and the Pyramids to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building. Learn how humanity managed to enslave gravity in its effort to defy it and build our monuments to civilization.
By Brad Harris, Historian of Science & Technology. For more information on this episode, including a select bibliography, visit howitbegan.com.
How It Began: A History of the Modern World
A thrilling podcast about the History of the Modern World. Humanity has been hard at work for centuries to empower itself with better tools and insights, from science and surgery to electricity and the Internet, and this series celebrates the history of those triumphs. Compared to our ancestors, we live like superheroes and sorcerers, endowed with powers they could never have imagined. But how did we achieve all this? Historian Brad Harris tackles that question head on, revealing how the most important scientific, technological, and cultural advancements in history began, and inspiring us to keep reaching for new historical triumphs along the way.


By the end of the day, the five activists - who have come to be known as the "Valve Turners", two supporters, and three independent videographers were arrested and charged with multiple, significant crimes, in four local jurisdictions (Clearwater County, MN, Pembina County, ND, Chouteau County, MT, and Skagit County, WA), likely under federal coordination. Another supporter and videographer would eventually be charged as well.
As of September, 2018, three Valve Turners and one supporter have been tried and convicted on felony charges, one supporter entered into a plea bargain, and charges against four video documentarians have been dropped. One Valve Turner, Michael Foster spent six months in North Dakota prison. Valve Turners Annette Klapstein and Emily Johnston, and supporter Ben Joldersma, are scheduled for trial in Bagely, MN on October 8, 2018, where they have been granted the unusual right to offer a climate necessity defense.
The Shut It Down action received a good deal of mainstream and social media attention, and, as part of the broader struggle against pipeline construction galvanized by the Standing Rock KXL pipeline struggle, has been galvanizing for activists. Two documentary films cover the action, produced by three videographers who were charged after the action - Steve Liptay's Valve Turners, and The Reluctant Radical, produced by Lindsey Grayzell and Deia Schlosberg. Thousands of supporters have attended trials, organized community forums, written to incarcerated Valve Turner Michael Foster, contributed to the Shut It Down legal defense, and are now gearing up for the Minnesota climate necessity trial on October 8, 2018.
The change in US civic discourse in the two years since the Shut It Down action is staggering. Even as the speed of climate collapse has accelerated with nearly incomprehensible speed, this single greatest challenge to the integrity of global ecosystems, and maintenance of convictions that make civilization possible, is virtually ignored. Things are far worse than two years ago, and our capacity to do anything meaningful to arrest the harm is negligible.

Five Minutes With… Adrian Teal
The History Vault Five minutes with...., Issue 3 3 Comments 2,637 Views
Adrian Teal is an acclaimed caricaturist whose work has featured throughout the national press. He is also the writer and illustrator of The Gin Lane Gazette – a scandal-laden eighteenth century 'Heat magazine', an extract of which can be viewed here.
What is an historian?
You were hoping for a short answer, I take it? I can only tell you what I try to be when presenting history, and that's someone who immerses themselves in the past, and then tries to present their impressions and interpretations to others in an engaging and original way. It's about imparting enthusiasm, really. Foucault would have you believe that long-dead personalities aren't recoverable, but I disagree. You just have to put the hours in and coax them back. Just because people are dead, it doesn't mean they aren't very lively.
What made you decide to pursue a career in history?
I came to history as something of a career very late, and via a circuitous route. As a caricaturist I've always been acutely aware of the debt I owe my inky-fingered, Georgian predecessors. But the story of the mutiny aboard HMS Bounty is what aroused my interest in the 18th century. No portrait of Fletcher Christian exists, so I set out to create one with an anatomically trained artist, based on descriptions, family resemblance in other portraits, and research into uniforms and hairstyles. The likeness we created has ended up in documentaries, and in a biography of Christian by his great-great-great-great grandson, the TV chef and author Glynn Christian. The Bounty story, with its bravery, resourcefulness, honour code, folly, expansionism, patronage, and adventure is the 18th century in microcosm. I'm besotted with the era, and want to share it.
What is the one history book you simply couldn't do without?
Greg Dening's 'Mr Bigh's Bad Language' is a masterpiece. He has a way of milking every drop of information out of what he calls 'the texted past'. It changed my approach to history.
Do you have a favourite website for historical research (or procrastination)? Why? It's by no means perfect, but you'd have to go a long way to beat the online version of the 'Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'. All those extraordinary lives, distilled and presented in one place. Remarkable.
What is your favourite historical place?
Cottesbrooke Hall in my home county of Northamptonshire. It's said to be the house on which Jane Austen based Mansfield Park. I'm not sure if that's true, but it is the most incredible place, with a calming atmosphere, and it oozes history. The perfect gentleman's country retreat.
You have a time machine for 24 hours, where do you go?
I'd start off in Covent Garden, around 1760, and catch a play in Drury Lane, then toddle off to Brooks's Club in the 1780s, and gamble the night away with Charles James Fox and the Devonshire set. (Carriages long after midnight.) I've always thought I'd like to hang out with the Whigs, mostly for all the air-ballooning.
You have a new research project and a deadline, what is your normal working pattern?
Most of what I do – which is a combination of words and caricature – takes a lot of work. I spend more time thinking than actually writing and drawing. Cartoons are 80% idea, and I can write things very quickly if I've worked out the point I want to make long in advance. That said, I am very used to deadlines, so I can saw stuff off by the yard if I have to. If I'm writing rather than drawing history, I like to absorb all the available information I can find, let it ferment in my mind, and then hammer it out on the keyboard.
Your period of expertise no longer exists, which historical period would you research instead? The Middle Ages, without question. I read English at university, and concentrated on Chaucer, Langland, Old English, and the like. As it happens, I think the bawdy mediaeval period and the bawdy 18th century have a lot in common.
Why is history important today?
Because it's happening right now. History is everything that has ever happened. Cliché it may be, but by looking back at the direction our path has taken, we can gain insights to the path we will take. Most of all, though, history tells us what it is to be human.
Finally, what is your best historical fact?
That Edward Gibbon, author of 'The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire', had three botched operations on his groin. His scrotum swelled 'to the size of a small child', but he fondly imagined nobody ever noticed.

This is interesting! We're kicking off 2019 with an informative Skincare Snippets featuring the Laneige Fresh Calming Line.
As you all know, I try my best to make unbiased judgments. So I didn't really try to see what the Fresh Calming line was for. I had a trial kit anyway, so I just used it 'til the first product finished up - that would be the toner. Pretty shocked that I've been using the kit for about two weeks running, as I thought it would only really last a week. It makes sense for the toner to go first though - it's roughly the same size as the rest of the samples, but I use way more toner in my routine than anything else.
First impressions: this seems made for oily skin. The moisture feels so lightweight, I felt myself craving for some oil or cream. After a few days of supplementing the line with a mini Laneige Sleeping Mask, I realized that was still not cutting. Of course, the Sleeping Mask couldn't really help this case as it works to seal what's already there - and it can't seal anything that isn't. I started adding squalane oil or Embryolisse Lait Creme to my routine.
Now that I'm done with the routine, I read up on the line and checked to see why I wasn't 100% on it, AND I FEEL SO VALIDATED BECAUSE IT IS FORMULATED FOR OILY SKIN. The Fresh Calming Line highlights lychee extract for sensitive skin, and features oil-free formulations for dehydrated yet oily skin.
Laneige Fresh Calming Gel Cleanser smelled the sweetest of the bunch. The whole line features a 4-free formulation (mineral oil, animal-based ingredients, synthetic coloring, sulfates) which I found amazing! I really wish my skin type was made for this line, because I love what they did with it. The clear, runny gel doesn't lather up much, which is quite understandable due to the lack of sulfates, but I have been getting used to that with low pH cleansers. I feel it does sufficiently clean whatever is left of double cleansing.
Laneige Fresh Calming Balancing Toner is made for sensitive skin. It is so far from the stickier toners I've gotten used to, but it was a nice change of pace. I liked how fresh it made me feel after.
Laneige Fresh Calming Balancing Serum stood out pretty well. Even made for oily skin, I love how the texture sinks in to my skin. As deep as it goes though, my skin still feels parched, and I eventually learned to add the Embyolisse Lait Creme on top.
While not formulated for me, the Fresh Calming Line was a joy to use. I highly recommend it to people with oily skin as it is such a lightweight yet sufficiently hydrating line. If you have sensitive skin to boot, the more I recommend it for you. I do not have particularly sensitive skin, but it felt way calmer and more stable in the past weeks that I've been using the Laneige Fresh Calming trial kit.
I got this kit as part of a gift set for attending the Laneige PH opening in SM Makati.


Small business owners often use Internet cookies to gather data about prospects or customers visiting their sites. This can be a helpful exercise in streamlining the marketing process to align with customer preferences and tastes; however, there comes a point where this type of information gathering can become intrusive and scare off potential business.
What Exactly Is an Internet Cookie?
Internet cookies don't come in chocolate chip or macadamia nut flavors, unfortunately. These cookies are unique digital identifiers that are placed on a Web surfer's computer by a Web site he visited. These small text files gather data about the page visitor such as how long he stayed on the site, what pages he visited, what he clicked on, and any personal data offered up voluntarily, etc. The Web site, in turn, keeps a similar cookie with the same unique identifier. When the surfer returns to the Web site, the identifiers are matched up and any information gathered can be accessed by the Web site.
The word "profiling" has earned a negative connotation in the English language. Americans do not want police to profile them, they do not want to be profiled in airports, and they are uncomfortable with marketers and businesses profiling them and using their information in ways that they may not like.
One method of Web profiling that truly turns prospects off is the practice of passing third party cookies on to page visitors and gathering data about them all across the web. This, sometimes very detailed information, is then often sold to various parties who use it for spam lists, direct mailings and other intrusive marketing practices.
Consumers became very upset and distrustful of cookies when it became public how marketers were using these tiny text files of encrypted information.
Because of this, Internet users now have the ability to turn cookies off on their computers. This will make it so Web sites cannot place a cookie on their computer.
Using Internet cookies can be a beneficial practice for small businesses if properly handled. Any business owner knows that the better he knows his clientele, the better he will be able to serve them. For this reason, gathering information about customers' tastes will allow small business owners to provide them with products and services they specifically prefer.

A tale of two trade fairs: Milwaukee's globally relevant water proposition
As we have previously discussed, the decision to prioritize a single primary cluster in a regional economic development plan is challenging. For Milwaukee, this was especially difficult in development of its global trade and investment plan because it has three legitimate clusters: energy, power and controls; food and beverage; and water technologies. The team developing the plan was reluctant to pick a favorite.
After months of anguished debate (which one participant equated to choosing a favorite child), a key meeting with cluster leaders made the decision clear. Among these three clusters, they realized water technologies represented a truly differentiating specialization on a global scale, an increasingly relevant attribute worldwide, and the best opportunity to establish a global identity and open new doors for the entire region. It was also the cluster that was best organized to pursue international business development.
Water technologies in Milwaukee clearly encompasses the critical factors necessary for a robust cluster. Crucially, it has leadership from the region's large base of 200 existing firms in the industry, which range from start-ups to multinationals, and all strongly identify with the cluster. The president of Badger Meter, Richard Meeusen, is a particularly visible and vocal champion. In fact, the cluster's formation was driven by leaders from a few large, global companies in the region that realized they were not just part of a scattered set of manufacturing industries as defined by their official industry codes, but were connected by the "theme" of water technologies (which is not defined by an industry code).
Further, these leaders formed a staffed organization, the Water Council, in 2009 that knit the cluster together. To confirm that the Milwaukee region was truly globally relevant, the Water Council conducted a study of global water hubs and found that only the nations of Israel, Singapore, and the Netherlands had anywhere near the concentration of water technologies companies and assets as the Milwaukee region, further cementing the region's global vision as a viable, near-term reality.
The cluster has been further boosted by significant investment from state government and universities, as well as a physical presence (the Global Water Center building) in a water technologies innovation district where all players can connect.

Optics and Photonics
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis of patients with als by x-ray microfluorescence

Introduction: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease in adults but its etiology remains unknown. Clinically, the patient manifests progressive weakness, paralysis and, usually, evolves to death between 2 to 5 years. The analysis of biological samples provides a powerful strategy to investigate pathological processes and studies indicate an important role of trace elements in ALS. Objective: In this work we aimed to investigate the levels of trace elements in CSF samples from patients with ALS. Methodology: CSF samples from cases of ALS (10) and control cases (6) were treated for analysis of trace elements by X-ray Microfluorescence with Synchrotron Radiation. The measurements were performed on the XRF beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (Campinas, Brazil). The intensity of the X-ray spectrum for each element was obtained with AXIL software (distributed by the International Atomic Energy Agency). The data obtained were statistically analyzed by General Linear Models, in a method based on multivariate analysis. Results and Discussion: In this study, the following elements were analyzed: aluminum, bromine, calcium, chlorine, copper, chromium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, nickel, rubidium, silicon, sulfur and zinc. In CSF samples from ALS cases a significant increase of calcium, chlorine and potassium concentration was observed when compared to samples from control cases. Conclusion: Excitotoxicity is one of the many factors implicated in the pathogenic process of ALS. The intracellular calcium influx appears to contribute to neurodegeneration in multiple pathways, leading to cell death. Activation of potassium and chlorine channels by increased calcium level has been described and prolonged outflow of both may be involved with apoptosis. Elevated levels of these three elements in the CSF indicate a possible molecular pathway involved in the pathogenic process of the disease.

GEDA looking at Oka Point for next big hotel development
Monday, March 3rd 2014, 6:24 PM ChST
by Ken Quintanilla
Guam - Its considered one of the most attractive Government of Guam properties yet its been sitting idle for years. However that could all change as a determination of need was recently submitted expected to finally move the development of Oka Point forward.
"Oka Point is obviously one of the jewels of the Government of Guam in terms of real estate and over the years there's been discussion of developing Oka Point for economic benefit," said GEDA chairman E.J. Calvo.
But before any of that can happen, island leaders are taking the necessary steps to ensure the approximately 38 acres of property can be developed. Just last month, the Governor's Office submitted to the Guam Legislature a determination of need for the exceptional term contract for the property that once housed the old Guam Memorial Hospital. "The determination of need is required by the recent law in order to lease property for over five years regarding CLTC property so its part of the process in seeking approval from the Governor's Office as well as the Legislature before we officially go out for RFP," he said.
The Chamorro Land Trust Commission is proposing a lease term of up to 50 years with one or more options to extend the term for an additional 49 years. The property is likely to require an investment of more than $180 million. Calvo says the agency is working closely with CLTC on uses that will not only generate revenue but draw new investment to the island.
"Obviously the proximity to Tumon and Hotel Row calls for potential hotel development and perhaps other attractions that will be vital in our hotel industry," he said.
Another selling point is its proximity to a Chamorro cultural center and possibly using the property as a venue for large scale events like regional and international meetings, conventions and entertainment. GVB general manager Karl Pangelinan said, "It's adding to the opportunity for development it's not set in stone that it's going to be a hotel room, there's a very good likelihood that whomever chooses to develop it will make a hotel facility and we've been very, very loud about the need for additional rooms here on Guam so anything adding to that opportunity we're very, very supportive of."
It was late last year, when GVB and GEDA presented Oka Point to hundreds of members from the premier hotel investment community during the hotel investment conference Asia Pacific in Hong Kong. It was considered the first step in marketing the property.
"We haven't been contacted by any specific investors, but we are aware of several potential hotel developments looking at Guam," he said.
Calvo says he doesn't anticipate any major challenge in working with lawmakers as for over a decade, it was actually the legislature who supported development at Oka Point.

Three food halls are in the works for the Wilmington area. Here's what to expect.
Allison Ballard
A food hall has been discussed for the Wilmington area for years. But 2023 may be the year that one – or more – of these social food court concepts opens here. At least three are in the works. Here's what to expect.
More:As more restaurants open in the Wilmington area, how diverse is the food scene?
At Cape Fear Community College
Wilmington's Genesis Block business development service is partnering with CFCC's Small Business Center for a food hall/commissary kitchen on the college's North Campus. It's an idea that ties together culinary education, a gathering place for students, and a way to nurture food entrepreneurs and new restaurant concepts.
Initial permitting and equipment installation is underway for Block Eatz, designed as a commercial kitchen with café-style seating. Genesis Block entrepreneurs, including Chimére Allen of Premier Catering, Fu Wangz, Sweetcakes bakery, and Rebecca's Charcuterie Board., are potential vendors. They hope it will be open by mid-February for an event on campus.
In the Cargo District
The block bordered by Queen, Castle, 15th and 16th streets is also being designed as a food hall, said Leslie Smith, developer of the Cargo District. Already the building that houses the newly opened Beat Street restaurant and Alcove Beer Garden has a food-hall-like atmosphere. In the future, the area could have a larger parking area, 20 additional shipping containers, and more indoor/outdoor seating.
"There's still a lot of work to be done," Smith said. "But so far, everyone has been overwhelmingly supportive."
He already has several food vendors lined up – including those selling Korean corn dogs, slushies and barbecue. Smith has also a partnership with Copper Penny owner Brian Cadwallader. One idea is to bring back the popular restaurant's beloved onion rings.
"It's been a while since we stopped serving them downtown and there's not a day since that I don't get a phone call or email asking about them," Cadwallader said. " That kind of space would be ideal, and I would love to be a part of Leslie's vision."

Seaboard Social Hall
There's a lot of paperwork involved with opening a food hall/retail space/music venue, said Jason Queen of Monarch Property Co., Still, he said he's closer to announcing that construction could begin soon at 1315 S. 5th Ave.
Queen also developed the popular Transfer Co. Food Hall in Raleigh. When he saw the building that used to house the National Linen Service near Greenfield Park and the South Front district, the idea for the Seaboard Social Hall was born. It's envisioned as a 43,000-square-foot gathering place for a music and events with a 1,200-person capacity. The rest of the area will focus on local food and retail.
In the coming weeks, Queen said he also plans to announce the initial vendors who have committed to the space.

NBA Coaches Dismiss Loyalty
Mark Simmons
What was more troubling about Brown's move was not that he was replacing a capable coach in Detroit (more on that later), but rather that he seems to have also interviewed with the hapless (read: MJ-less) Washington Wizards. The interview must have been serious because Washington's now-former coach Doug Collins was decapitated in the process, to make room for the guru that is Brown. Sadly for them, Brown turned down the Wizards' offer. Just another setback in Abe Pollin's mess.
Some would argue that Iverson will suffer without the experience and calming effect of Brown. Others doubt that Iverson will even notice that he's gone. After all, for all of Brown's greatness, Iverson was perhaps greater before. On the flip side, the 76ers sought to turn to Philly native Mo Cheeks.
While the fit seemed like it was made in heaven, Cheeks' future remains dicey because he has a contractual obligation to the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland would never have allowed Cheeks to engage in talks with anyone, but when Brown replaced Rick Carlisle in Detroit — despite back-to-back 50-win seasons — Portland wasn't as nervous.
but wait, the drama continues
If you thought that it was odd for characters to come back from the dead on soap operas, it is even odder for dead characters to remain on the sidelines in the NBA. In Portland, President and GM Bob Whitsitt has been fired but, for various reasons, will stick around until after the draft.
At least the players seem to get away with filled pockets and on the terms that they seek, while "coaches in demand" seem to be treated like royalty and handled with care. When coaches fall out of favor, they get guillotined in the middle of the night in a way that would make Marie Antoinette proud.
After all, despite ranking as one of the most successful coaches ever in the league, Lenny Wilkens was acrimoniously escorted out of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Even the immortal Michael Jordan was disposed of, again by Mr. Pollin.
One coach, other than Larry Brown, that managed to survive the game of musical chairs is Paul Silas. In his move to the Celeveland Cavaliers from the Hornets franchise, a team he guided to five playoff appearances in six years in Charlotte and then New Orleans, he inherits a prodigy named LeBron and fans hungry for success.
the court is not cold yet
One thing that sticks out most is that the NBA is far from fantastic these days, so it could use every platform imaginable to showcase the game itself and not the business side of it. With the New Jersey Nets taking on the San Antonio Spurs, a series not without points of interest but not quite at the Lakers-Celtics level, it only makes sense that the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing would take center stage.
don't quit believing
If one thing has been proven in the NBA in 2003, it is that loyalty is not part of the lexicon for coaches or management. Heck, we knew it wasn't part of the players' vocabulary a long time ago. Sure, you have the odd class act here or there; but for the most part, coaches are just as bad as players when it comes to acting selfishly. But hey, why should coaches or management be held to a higher standard?
Question: In what year did Larry Brown win a gold medal at the Olympics?
Answer: As a player, Brown was a member of the 1964 gold medal U.S. Olympic basketball team.

"Lane moje" (, ; literally "My Fawn", figuratively "My Darling") is the name of the song performed by Serbian musician Željko Joksimović at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 for , in which it finished second. Inspired by traditional Serbian music (also called ethno), in the style of a ballad, it won in the semi-finals but ultimately lost closely to  "Wild Dances", finishing second scoring 263 points, becoming the first non-winning song in the contest, along with 's entry "Shake It", to score over 200 points. The song set a trend of world music strategy in the competition by the former Yugoslav republics.

The song has become popular amongst many Eurovision fans and it is often rated as one of the best non-winning songs.

Joksimović went on to compose Bosnia's 2006 entry, Serbia's 2008 entry, to host the 2008 Contest, to perform Serbia's 2012 entry and to compose Montenegro's 2015 entry.

The East Boston community has rallied to help the victims of the Gove Street fire that killed two people.
A fund with an initial deposit of $1,000 from East Boston Savings Bank (EBSB) has been established to benefit the families affected by the May 29 fire.
The initial deposit led to wave of generosity that included $1,000 deposits from Suffolk Downs, the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center and the City of Boston.
Local businessman Joseph Ruggiero donated his services as a funeral director to help make funeral arrangement locally for the victims and their families.
"When there's a neighborhood tragedy like this, helping the victims and their families is the right thing to do," said Ruggiero.
With the two victims originally from El Salvador, Ruggiero arranged for the bodies to be transported to the victim's families there as well.
Ruggiero had some help from the Salvadorian Consulate, which held a fundraiser and telethon at La Hacienda Sunday night to raise money for the transportation of the bodies as well as travel expenses for the families living in Boston.
Assisting with the fund's establishment was Eastie's Neighborhood Liaison Ernani DeAraujo and City Councilor Sal LaMattina.
"All money that is left over from these fundraising efforts will go to the survivors of the tragedy," said DeAraujo.
LaMattina said the outpouring of support made him proud to be an East Bostonian.
East Boston's Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) is already helping survivors by getting those displaced by the fire permanent affordable housing in the neighborhood as well as food and clothes.
If you would like to make a contribution to the fund, donations can be dropped off at any EBSB branch office during business hours. Or, donations can also be mailed to Gove Street Fire Victims Fund, c/o East Boston Savings Bank-Orient Heights, 10 Meridian Street, East Boston, MA 02128. All checks should be made payable to the 64 Gove Street Fire Victims Fund.

What's in a name, you ask?
Behold!!!
You may be wondering, "Joe, why did you name your wheelchair Lively? What possible significance could it have? Why didn't you call her a real girls name? Why is your wheelchair a girl? Why am I asking these questions?" Well, Reader-land, I'll tell you.
After making such a huge STINK about names, why did I choose this? Now you get to learn a little more about me, whether you wanted to or not.
To start with, a name has to fit, and it can't be just given. Sorry, Gwyneth Paltrow,
The Son of Man (1964) by René Magritte
but Apple isn't a great name! Either you REALLY like Steve Jobs, or… I'm actually not even sure. Mel and I spent months over our babies names to make sure, and we are sure they fit. The same here.
Secondly, I am a romantic. I'm an historian by training and interest, and modern names kinda stink. Ferrari 488; Mercedes- Benz SLK, what does that even mean? Jaguar XJS. Nissan Rogue. Honda Civic. The Tesla, the most advanced car, is a Model X/3/S. Cmon! That is just lacking imagination! The Expedition. Heck, the most creative names out there are on Rolls-Royce, like the Phantom and the Silver Shadow. Even Formula 1 teams use chassis numbers, so the Williams will be the FW-42, although I think they should name it after a legendary driver, Piers Courage.
The Williams FW-41
So, I didn't think that modern naming convention would work. It's just weak sauce.
Your car is bad, and you should feel bad!
The USS Name Here? Too Roman in their thinking, not poetic enough, frankly, and I tend towards more the Greek, a lot more poetic! US naming convention is too pedantic.
So, growing up, my Dad introduced me to this author named Rafael Sabatini, and he wrote swashbuckling novels like Captain Blood, and Scaramouche, and The Sea Hawk, showing boys about how to be brave, bold, gallant, and chivalrous.
These books fueled a love of ships of fighting sail. Think about the glorious time when balls of iron were launched from cannons, then the ships came together and it was settled man to man! Wooden ships with names like Agammemnon, Victory, Surprise, Orion, Bonhomme Richard, Temeraire, names that stir a man's heart to say, "I am quite warm, love for my country keeps me warm."
Why do we have so many pirate movies? Names like Queen Anne's Revenge, Reader-land! This is why!
Ok, fast forward to my college classes on Napoleon, and his wars. (Side note here, did you know that for all the horrible things he did, Napoleon died with two priests by his bedside, and is reported to have converted at the end? Yeah, this is why you shouldn't wish someone was in hell, if we make it to heaven we will be surprised who is there!) Anyway, of course I wanted to write my paper on his naval battles, but the English really spanked his bottom, so there was only the Nile and Trafalgar. Enter Patrick O'Brian!
I think Celeste introduced me to him, but he wrote the best, most detailed, most realistic historical fiction about life in the British Navy that there ever was. Twenty some books, I've read them all, starting in college through marriage, etc. You've probably heard of a single movie they made from two of his books, Master and Commander, with Russell Crowe doing a brilliant job!
To go through the novels, you begin to understand how a ship can be a she, how every noise and creak and groan is a conversation, how your steadfast companion, day in and day out, is also your first and only defense against the sea, and like a wife, mother, and lover, cares for you every day. Hate her, and she'll reject you, often violently. Love and care for her (as all Christian men are called to do, see St. Paul), and you will be blessed. This is why a ship is more than just conveyance, and why there is this maybe weird relationship. Think I'm being too romantic? Too bad, it's my EV!
Well, in these novels a ship enters in, very early on, and it becomes oft referenced in the later books as a happy memory. The ship's name? HMS Lively.
"No wonder they called her a crack frigate: her sailing qualities were quite out of the ordinary, and the smooth quiet discipline of her people was beyond anything he had seen."
That, to me and to Jack, who built her, is a fitting name for a Crack EV, finest in the world. One of a kind, with quirks that are all her own, swift, sure, and sprightly. She is a feat of engineering, yes. But she is filled with heart, with passion, with the stuff dreams are made of and that the world tells you can't be done! THAT is why!
I leave you with a quote from a movie that I think I first saw at Dr Hahn's house, and which still gives me goosebumps.

Well said. I love this post.

Nice explanation. I do think dad really liked Gabrielle Sabatini too. 😂😉🎾


Murud and Divegar are two destinations worth visiting in your Kokan Tour. These two places are located along the Maharashtra Coastline.
By road the distance between these two places is around 60km. This distance can be curtailed to only 20 km if you take a ferry.
Before, telling you about the connectivity option between these two places. Let us know more about these two places.
Murud Janjira fort is around 160km from Pune and Mumbai is base to one of the strongest Sea fort of yester years. Situated on a rock of oval shape near the port town of Murud, Janjira is a corruption of the Arabic word Jazira for island. The fort is approached by sailboats from Rajapuri jetty. The main gate of the fort faces Rajapuri on the shore and can be seen only when one is about 40 feet away from it.
So these two are the famous tourist spots in Konkan which one should not skip to complete his Konkan Tour. The best mode of transport to visit these places is by hiring a cab but anyways the public transport busses are also available from both major cities i.e. Mumbai and Pune. Well using public transport can be a time consuming option.
As we are just discussing about the time consuming parameter so here is one more option to curtail your time while one has to travel from Diveagar to Murud or from Murud to Diveagar. By road the distance between these two places is around 60km approx. which can take around 1-1.5 hrs depending upon the road condition, but to travel swift and in less time you can take an option of ferry which plies between Agardanda and Rohini near Dighi Port on Rajapuri Creek which curtails the distance to 20 km while the time taken is around 20 min only.
*This is no promotional glitch I took this number while we boarded the ferry.
Also the size of vehicle is not a worry as even trucks are ferried via this channel.
Hope you saved time with this to explore more beautiful areas….. Happy Travelling..

The Strength Is Draining Away

Ruslan Ponomariov and Alexander Motylev decided not offence each other
Alexander Motylev and Ruslan Ponomariov faced each other in Round 8 of the tournament held in Poikovsky in order to determine if they will be able to fight for the first place which is occupied by Dmitry Jakovenko at the moment. The opponents played one of the sharp lines of the exchange variation of the Spanish game. The rivals repeated Radjabov - Kazhgaleyev (2005) encounter for a while, on move 22 Black changed the line; after 10 more moves the game was finished.
MOTYLEV - PONOMARIOV
The final position
Right after the opponents agreed on a draw, Ruslan Ponomariov gave a commentary to our website:
"In my recent game against Illescas at the Olympiad I also faced the exchange variation of the Spanish game, I played 5...Be7 against him. Today I actually expected that Sasha could play this line, but yesterday I had a long encounter against Onischuk, I was a bit upset because I didn't win it. That's why I didn't play 5...Be7 today. Later the theory was probably long and I started remembering, I tried to improvise and spent a lot of time, so at the end I lacked time. Eight moves to the time control the position stayed complicated while I had less time...
Well, we together with Alexander will be playing for the same team Tomsk at the European Championship so we decided not to offence each other. Although it was clear that one of us had to win today in order to fight for the first place here in Poikovsky. Honestly the strength is draining away, but I will try to fight against Rublevsky tomorrow..."

Poikovsky: Radoslaw Wojtaszek Chases the Leader. Nigel Short Is In the Bottom of the Table
Two decisive games were registered in Round 6 of the GM tournament held in Poikovsky: Nigel Short lost against Lazaro Bruzon, while Radoslaw Wojtaszek took an upper hand on Viorel Bologan. Both winners were playing with Black.
BOLOGAN - WOJTASZEK
Poikovsky: Short Gained a Win Named After Karpov in Round 1
The 1st round of the competition in Poikovsky turned out to be very fighting. All games went in a tough fight and eventually three out of 5 finished decisively. Nigel Short's win over Sergey Rublevski deserves to be marked out. Englishman's play in the endgame, which actually turned into the whole game, was brilliant. It's final part - the bishop ending - can already be put into tutorials.
Viorel Bologan: "I've Played The Benko Gambit With Black For a Long Time, So Now Playing It White Is Easier"
Vioral Bologan gained his second win in a row in Poikovsky: he beat Ruslan Ponomariov yesterday, while today he took an upper hand on Lazaro Bruzon.

Jakovenko Gives a Timely Strike. Shares Lead at Poikovsky
Dmitry Jakovenko replaced Saric in the shared lead position two rounds to go. Russian GM may be following a balanced tactics: he defeated two outsiders (at the time those games were played) Bologan and Sutovsky. Then he made two short draws with the compatriots, today he won an important game against the grandmaster from Croatia.

Home / Blog / Map of My Kingdom
Map of My Kingdom
By Taylor on January 6, 2015 in Blog
With an aging population of Iowa landowners, more than half of the farmland in the state will be transferred to new owners in the coming decades. Fifty six percent of Iowa farmland is owned by people over the age of 65, and 30 percent is owned by those over 75, according to Iowa State University's 2012 report "Farmland Ownership and Tenure Report in Iowa."
With this in mind, Iowa's poet laureate Mary Swander wrote a play exploring issues surrounding farmland transition. Map of My Kingdom, which was commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), will be performed at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11 in the Church of the Land at Living History Farms.
In the drama, Angela Martin, a lawyer and mediator in land transition disputes, shares stories of how farmers and landowners she has worked with over the years approached their land successions. Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation will have staff on hand before and after the performance to discuss ways that INHF assists landowners with this transition.
"We are on the cusp of a monumental transfer in farmland ownership," said Teresa Opheim, Executive Director of Practical Farmers of Iowa. "Many farmers will lose their farmland during this transition. They will be unable to purchase the land when their current landlords die and heirs want to cash out. The farmland transition is exacerbated by steep land prices, which make it very difficult for beginning farmers to get started."
Farm transfer and land ownership issues will be a major focus of PFI's annual conference, Jan. 23-24 in Ames. There will be a performance of Map of My Kingdom at the conference, as well as multiple sessions exploring farmland ownership topics.
Here are more opportunities to see the play throughout Iowa in the coming months:
Ames: Friday, Jan. 23, 6 p.m., Practical Farmers of Iowa Conference, Scheman Building
Forest City: Thursday, Feb. 19, 7 p.m., Waldorf College
Orange City: Saturday, Feb. 21, 7:30 p.m., DeWitt Theatre Arts Center, Northwestern College
Storm Lake: Tuesday, Feb. 24, 7 p.m., Anderson Auditorium, Buena Vista University
Dubuque, IA., Thursday, March 26, 6:30 p.m., Shalom Retreat Center

SOTO Announce New Studio Album Origami
First Single "BeLie" Launches
SOTO, the modern Heavy Metal / Hard Rock group featuring vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen / Talisman / ex-Journey, Sons Of Apollo, TSO, etc.), recently announced signing a new worldwide deal with InsideOutMusic.
Now they are pleased to reveal their new, third studio album Origami which will be released May 24th, 2019, and to celebrate they have launched the records first single.
Watch the lyric video (Created by Cloud Music Typography) for "BeLie" now below.
SOTO comment about "BeLie" from JSS as follows: "This is a song co-written with a long time collaborator of mine in Brazil, Leo Mancini, along with my drummer Edu Cominato. It had a very Operation Mindcrime vibe to it musically when they presented me with the song so I knew I had to really think outside the box in making it not sound like a QUEENSRYCHE song in the end. I love the middle section as it presents our new bassist, Tony Dickinson, to the world as a much needed entity in the band after losing our boy David Z. It serves as a great launching pad for Origami'."
Origami will be released as a limited digipak CD with a set of 3 stickers and a bonus track, 180g vinyl LP including the entire album on CD, and as digital download. The album comes packaged with classy artwork by Gustavo Sazes (MACHINE HEAD, AMARANTHE, ARCH ENEMY). Pre-order now here: https://SOTO.lnk.to/Origami
The full track-listing of Origami is as follows:
"HyperMania"
"Origami"
"BeLie"
"World Gone Colder"
"Detonate"
"Torn"
"Dance With The Devil"
"AfterGlow"
"Vanity Lane"
"Give In To Me"
"KMAG" * (Bonus Track)
SOTO started in 2015 derived from the ideal of Jeff Scott Soto wanting to return to his heavier roots. So far they released 2 albums, Inside The Vertigo (2015) and DIVAK (2016), taking a short break while Jeff embarked on the supergroup SONS OF APOLLO, alongside Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian, Billy Sheehan and Bumblefoot.
Now SOTO are returning under the same umbrella as SONS OF APOLLO, signing with InsideOutMusic. The new album Origami contains material that continues to expand and move the band towards new heights whilst following up with their brand of Power Rock.
SOTO will hit South America for live dates in May and intend to be touring worldwide throughout 2019 following the release of the new album.

Q: How to render dynamic data in Flask / Jinja2 / WTForms? I'm trying to render a dynamic QR-code in Flask using Jinja2 templating so that the user clicks on a 'Buy Now' button, managed by WTForms, which calls a function to render the payment qr-code.
If I flash the output it does appear as a string so I know the QRGen function is working.
My static variables are all exporting correctly in the render template but if I export qr1 I get the following error:

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'qr1' referenced before assignment

I'm guessing that's because the variable is dynamically instantiated. Here is the code:
#INDEX.HTML

<form action="" role="form" method="post">
            {{ shopform01.hidden_tag() }}
            {{ shopform01.buy01( type="button", class_="button", id="buybutton01", value="Buy Now") }}
            </form>

{{ qr1 }}

#MODELS.PY

from flask_qrcode import QRcode

def QRGen(id,price):
    nanodress = app.config['NANO']
    buytime = str(datetime.now().strftime("%y%m%d%H%M%S%f"))
    nanoprice = requests.get("https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=nano&vs_currencies=usd").json()["nano"]["usd"]
    bits = "nano:"+nanodress+"?amount="+str(price/nanoprice*0.0000000001)+buytime+id

    def __repr__(self,bits):
        return QRcode.qrcode(self.bits, error_correction='H', fill_color='#802929', icon_img='shop/nano.png')

#ROUTES.PY

from app.models import QRGen

@app.route('/index', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():

...

    price01 = 10

    shopform01 = Buy01()
    if shopform01.validate_on_submit():
        qr1 = QRGen("01",price01)

...

return render_template('index.html', title='Home', shopform01=shopform01)

A: In the last line of index function in routes.py pass a qr1=qr1
return render_template('index.html', title='Home', shopform01=shopform01, qr1=qr1)
Hope it helps.
