Parasitic pneumonia is an infection of the lungs by parasites. It is a rare cause of pneumonia, occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised persons (persons with a weakened or absent immune system). This is a respiratory infection that may or may not be serious.
There are a variety of parasites which can affect the lungs. In general, these parasites enter the body through the skin or by being swallowed. Once inside the body, these parasites travel to the lungs, most often through the blood. There, a similar combination of cellular destruction and immune response causes disruption of oxygen transportation. Depending on the type of parasite, antibiotics can be prescribed.

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police have determined that the driver of a City of Tampa Solid Waste truck will not face criminal charges in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a pedestrian on Tuesday.
Police say that Marcia Woodside Rivers was hit and killed by the garbage truck on Davis Islands across the street from where she lived, Tuesday morning.
Family members tell ABC Action News that Rivers was a retired Hillsborough County Schools teacher.
"She was a bubbly personality and she enjoyed what she did," Deborah Mosley said.
Mosley was a friend and colleague of Rivers. She said Rivers loved to teach, share, and learn.
"She was one of a kind. (She had) a huge heart, quite creative -especially with marketing," Mosley said.
The call came in at about 9:14 a.m. on Aegean Dr. and Davis Blvd. Tuesday morning.
When police arrived, they found Rivers, 65, deceased.
Family members tell us Rivers was a "retired school teacher, music lover, Christian, plant lover, beach lover and the funniest most infectious person you would ever meet! She was a graduate of King High School and then later taught at King, Freedom High and Memorial Middle School. She was cool Ms. Rivers to all her students. At one point had a wait list to get into her classes," the family member said.
Lewis Harris works on Davis Islands. He said he saw the driver after the incident.
"We saw the driver in the street freaking out," Harris said.
Harris said people were holding him down.
"She was like kind of under the truck and that's when we realized what happened," Harris said.
The driver is expected to face a civil traffic citation involving the death. Detectives are still investigating to determine what citation would be appropriate given the facts of the case.
Tampa Police say that Rivers was not wearing earbuds when she was hit and are still working to determine all the factors that contributed to the accident.
Detectives have yet to release specific details about the moments leading up to the deadly crash.
City officials confirm to ABC Action News the garbage truck has a backup camera that was working. They are still investigating whether the backup warning system was working that morning as well. ABC Action News learned drivers are instructed to also honk when they back up.


Olay Luminous Whip is a primer and moisturizer all in one and includes broad-spectrum sunscreen so it's essentially three products in one jar! Such a space-saver, but it's also saved me time when getting ready in the morning, too. (All about that life! Mornings have never been my strong suit.) And on the topic of saving, it's under $30 so you really can't beat it.
I used to mix a glow-enhancing product with my primer, so this moisturizer actually takes the place of four different products in my at-home skincare and makeup routine. I've always been of a fan of the dewy, luminous complexion look, and this moisturizer gives me that little bit of glow-y radiance without any shine or feeling greasy by the afternoon. The feel of the formula is amazing, too… It's oil-free (so it won't clog your pores!) and feels so light and airy both before you put it on and after. It's quick to absorb and has a velvety soft finish!
No joke, I've already been on the lookout every time I've gone to a new drugstore here in Peru (I've seen a few Olay products, but not this exact Luminous Whip moisturizer yet!) and you bet I'll be trying to figure out how to get another jar mule-d down to Latin America if I can't find it before I run out.
I shot these photos with Marcel (one of my fellow remotes) at the cutest B&B in Lima, Peru… Definitely check out Autor if you're visiting Lima anytime soon! The owner, Humberto, is so nice and has decorated the place impeccably. It's in the perfect location, right in the heart of Miraflores, but it's set back in a courtyard so it feels like a little oasis within the busy city. I'll be sharing more photos from one of the properties soon!
Have you tried any of the Olay Whips moisturizers?! You can find them at your local drug stores like CVS! I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've heard nothing but rave reviews from friends and other beauty bloggers, too.
When is going to be available in south africa?
I am now battling to get your products in the shelves at the shops. What is happening?

Everything Seems Fine On The Outside But You're Wondering Is This All There Is To Life?
Who Am I Now? is a revolutionary experiential training program to help you discover who you were always meant to be and facilitate you owning her in just 90 days...
...so you can stop feeling like you're wasting your life, start taking action and have the impact you deserve to have.
JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR THE NEXT LIVE PROGRAM
Are you showing up 100% of yourself? Are you being true to who you really are and making the impact you dream of making?
As a woman in midlife or beyond, you've likely experienced a whole lot of ups and your fair share of downs in a pretty eventful life. You're wise, strong and resilient and have a whole lot of life ahead of you - new freedom and choices await!
So why do you sometimes, even often, feel a little flat, a little disheartened, disoriented? Why it is hard to find the energy and enthusiasm that used to be such a key part of who you are? Why is it the things that used to captivate you just don't have the same appeal any more? Why does it feel like you've lost your purpose, your way in the world?
You know you want to play big, but how? And doing what exactly?
As we go through life, we change. By the time we get to midlife, we're different to who we once were. We're not less than we once were, but experience, both good and bad has made us different. David Bowie said, ageing is an extraordinary process whereby you become who you always should have been. I love that!
Authenticity becomes key. Being true to who you really are niggles away, if it's not how you're actually living. And with awareness of the life clock ticking, actually finding that purpose and passion that will light you up and enable you to have an impact, can become an elusive goal. But it can be hard to get focused enough to find that and yourself, with everything else going on around.
Who Am I Now? is a live 12 week transformational mentoring program, combining self study, private tutor group coaching and 1-1 personalized mentoring.
It will enable you to work out exactly who you are now, what you want for your next chapter and how you can start making that happen. You'll get out of your own way, making friends with clarity and a new you, and taking action that feels utterly true to who you are now.
There's no long program you have to make time to do, when there are so many demands on your time.
Just 12 weeks of focus and accountability to get you where you want to be.
No more time wasting. No more feeling unfulfilled.
Who Am I Now? Was Created By Rachel Lankester
Rachel Lankester
Midlife Mentor, Writer, Strategist
I'm Rachel and I'm passionate about helping women bust the midlife myths about what's possible for us, and navigate the often murky waters of midlife so you can thrive not just survive, and become who you were always meant to be.
I had a long corporate career as a Director/SVP specializing in financial communications for one of the world's leading communications consultancies in both London and New York. I was also Group Communications Manager for a FTSE 100 company.
I speak four languages and have an MBA from Imperial College, London.
But when early menopause hit at 41 as I was trying for a longed-for second child, it turned my world upside down, initially horribly but over time, gloriously!
I created what I failed to find to support my midlife transition - the Magnificent Midlife world. Now in my 50s, I'm dedicated to ensuring other women get through the messy middle of life and into the magnificence that is available, as soon and as vibrantly as possible.
With more than 10 years of connecting and working with hundreds of fellow midlife women I now know, without question, that midlife can be a doorway into our most satisfying stage of life. Once we make the decision to embrace it, we can find that elusive 'more' to life that you may have heard about, but suspected was for other people…
My role is to challenge and support you while giving you the space to explore the myriad possibilities available to you in this next chapter. Let's find out who you are now together!
Bite-size training modules
Six inspirational, practical bite-sized training modules guiding you through step by step how to unpick the layers, find the essence of who you are now and show up in the world as that person.
Fortnightly online private tutor group
Time to review and consolidate what you've been learning and discovering. Additional learnings live. A regular group check-in to keep you on track.
Three 1-1 mentoring sessions over 4 months
Personal, bespoke time with Rachel to work on issues particular to you. These can be booked any time over a four month period from the time the program starts.
Access to the Magnificent Midlife Members Club for 6 months
You'll also have access to all the fabulous resouces in the Magnificent Midlife Members Club for the duration of the program and an extra three months afterwards.
Here's what people say about working with Rachel
"I want to say thanks Rachel for the brilliant group call tonight. Whether they're personal goals (diet and sleep!) or business (love fleshing out the visions and defining actions), it at last all feels ordinary, real and timely."
"Grab yourself a cuppa and listen to our champion midlife coach Rachel Lankester! You rock!"
"If you're like me and wondering what's next in life or how you can get there, this is for you. If you refuse to let age or anything else hold you back but you feel you need a map to help you get there and a hand to hold for support, then I definitely recommend you work with Rachel."
Here's What You'll Cover
You can join the Who Am I Now? program from anywhere in the world.
This unique experience is a blend of reflection, re-calibration, and re-energizing. We'll take steps to reignite you and give you a real sense of purpose, focus and energy again at midlife and beyond. The rest of your life is yours for the taking. But you have to step up and take it!
The key areas we'll explore together include:
We begin with some review work to get real about what's going on right now, what needs dealing with, what to ditch and what to focus on, so we know exactly what we're working with.
Think of this as the first coat of paint on your fresh new canvas. You'll get clear on where the blocks are and what you want to prioritize during our time together.
2. Reconnect
Now we focus on reconnecting to you, because you've probably been putting other people first for quite some time in your life. Now there's an opportunity to reconnect to what lights you up.
We'll look at your values, core strengths, your key personality traits, what lights you up, what makes you happy and puts you in flow. We'll start imagining your new future and explore your passions. The adventure begins in earnest.
As Henry Ford said many years ago, "Whether you think you can, or you can't, you're right"' I'll help you challenge your internal narratives and self-sabotaging limiting beliefs.
We all have them and they're especially prevalent in midlife and beyond when we've had half a lifetime to create them, and negative ageing narratives get added to the mix. We'll look at taming your innner critic and boosting your confidence so you start believing anything is possible.
4. Explore
Now you get to really explore what will light you up in your magnificent next chapter. What's going to bring you joy and resonate with who you are now.
You'll get creative with ideas that excite and delight you. You'll experiment with possibilities and play. You'll get clear on what you don't want and where to focus your talents to bring you what you desire in your next chapter.
5. Inspire
We're going to get you to identify and start working on a Personal Passion Project, a hobby, side hustle or main gig, whatever feels right.
You'll do some future-you visioning to imagine what life will look like a decade hence and how you might go about creating that reality. We'll explore what needs to change in your life to support your passion.
6. Activate
Now we can put together your MAP, your Magnificent Action Plan. Your personal plan will be built from everything we've discovered together.
It will leverage your strenths, align with your values, be woven from things that light you up, anchored in your passions, prioritize your health and welllbeing, invigorate and energize you, be balanced with calm, peace and a feeling of fulfillment.
100% Support, All The Time
This is a fully supportive and inclusive program – if you've never experienced what it's like to have a personal mentor, you're in for a transformative treat!
Every fortnight you'll get a bite-sized video training for you to watch at your leisure. This will include some tasks for you to complete in preparation for our private group tutoring call
Every other fortnight we'll meet in our private online tutor group to discuss your findings from the video training, process issues and move you forward on your Who Am I Now? journey
Between sessions you'll have access to me via email and private messaging
I'll provide you with workbooks and checklists to reinforce our discussions and deepen your thinking as you work through the program
You'll be able to book three 1-1 mentoring sessions with me over the course of the program and for an additional month after the program ends
You'll have access to a private Who Am I Now? Facebook Group during the program to connect with others on a similar journey
You'll also have immediate access to the Magnificent Midlife Members Club, which is packed with relevant and valuable resources throughout the program, and for an additional three months to ensure you continue to flourish
By the end of this 12 weeks together, you'll have beautiful clarity on who exactly you are now, how to stay authentic and how to have the impact you deserve. You'll be well on the way to making that a reality.
Throughout the program you'll get full support and accountability to make it much more likely you'll stick with it and achieve the results you're dreaming of. No more procrastination, self-sabotaging and time wasting!

This Free App Lists Recipes for Over 100 Fujifilm Film Simulations
FAA Publishes Final Drone Rules: Remote ID Now Required
Oprah Spots Struggling Photographer's Tweet, Offers Him a Job
The creator of the Fuji X Weekly blog has published his giant library of film simulation recipes to an easy-to-use app. The Fuji X Weekly app has over 100 recipes and more will be added regularly.
Fuji X Weekly is a blog created by photographer Ritchie Roesch who has been publishing a multitude of film simulation recipes to his blog for some time, categorized by which are compatible with specific Fujifilm sensors. The Fuji X Weekly app is a mobile library of those and other film simulation recipes that can be easily used in the field.
The app itself is free and immediately gives you access to a large list of recipes to try out. The recipes are designed to be leveraged using the custom preset option found in most Fujifilm cameras. While some cameras only allow for one custom preset at a time, some do allow for multiple. The app is designed to make it easier to find and save presets that you like and make it easier to adjust them in the field, which is especially helpful if your Fujifilm camera severely limits the number of presets you can save at a time.
Roesch has published a detailed guide on how to add film simulation recipes to your Fujifilm camera here.
As mentioned, the app is free and has no ads, but there is an option to pay an annual $20 "patron" fee to gain access to new recipes before they are eventually published for all Fuji X Weekly App users. There are currently seven recipes behind the paywall, and as those are released to the public new ones will take their place for paid users.
The app is currently available for iOS devices through the Apple App Store. Roesch says that he hopes he can publish an Android version in 2021.

Caption: Wanna play 21? Yeh, bruh. Why don't you get started? I'ma go watch a movie. You text me when you get up to 20 points, then I'll come in. No, thanks. I don't need your ridiculous head start. I'm offended you even offered. I'll text you when I get to 19. Maybe I'll watch a double feature.
Caption: I can't get over Black Panther, Clyde. Me neither, bruh. I ain't never had to sit next to no dude wearin' nothin' but black body-paint before. I tried spandex, but it still looked too puffy. Bruh … It's not my fault Disney made Black Panther's costume so skintight. Can ... can we not talk 'bout it no more?
Caption: Daddy? Can I thee Bwack Panthew? No, son, you can't see Black Panther. There'll be lots of people doing not-nice things in that movie. I don't want you seeing all that fighting. But ith onwy make-beweave fighting, not weaw fighting. Do you need me to ecthpwain the diffwenth? No, son, I don't need you to explain the difference. Are you thure? You theem to.
Caption: 1982. Did you get Superman for your birthday. Sort of. I should've been more specific. Momma gave me a video called Abar: The First Black Superman. Instead of fighting Lex Luthor, Abar the first black Superman fights housing discrimination. You should ask your momma to exchange it. I did. She said When it comes to black superheroes, it's slim pickings, whatever that means.
Caption: What do you mean, do I believe aliens abduct people? You talkin' Donald Trump aliens, or is you talkin' Men in Black aliens? More like Fire in the Sky aliens, as seen in the 1993 film that's based on an actual account. I just think if that eyeball scene is real, it would explain why the whole country's so cranky. You spendin' way too much time on Youtube.
Caption: 1980. I don't think I like that Luke Skywalker can fly. What do you mean? Jedi can't fly. That's silly. Then how come he flew up out of that carbonite pit when Vader tried to freezify him? And how come he changed direction while he was falling on Cloud City and flew right into that trash chute? None of that happened. Yes it did! (Sigh) You didn't even notice it 'cause movies always show men doing amazing things. I bet if Princess Leia were to ever fly, men everywhere would get their Underoos all in a bunch over it. You don't give us men enough credit.
Caption: Spoiler warning for The Last Jedi is all you had to say, bruh. It's been months. If people haven't seen it yet, that's their own problem. Still, don't nobody wanna know that Princess Leia flies like Mary Poppins. Why's it have to be Mary Poppins? That's sexist. Fine. Peter Pan. You happy?
Caption: 1982. Do you believe in life after death, Susan? Of course. Me too. It's the first law of thermal dynamics. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only transmogrify into something else … like a sea anemone. I've decided I'll be a sea anemone. Not a care in the world, it's be a welcome interlude between this life and my next one where I'm a Jedi. I don't know if you get to choose what happens to your energy, Lemont. No offense, but I think Obi-Wan and Yoda know more about that than you do.
Caption: You do it all the time, bruh. You convinced yourself you loved Justice League an' Batman v Superman. You convinced y'self you like Ghostbusters 2. You convinced y'self you liked From Justice to Kelly … From Justin to Kelly was criminally underrated. I ain't never seen no one so unwilling to admit he got bad taste. As musical romantic comedies starring American Idol competitors go, it was by far the best.


More great analysis by Hardy Macia, admin at the Gary Johnson Grassroots Forum.
Last month, I blogged about the results of iSideWith.com's quiz, when just over 600,000 visitors had taken their online quiz based on the issues, in a post titled "Johnson wins election if based on issues."
iSideWith.com has been overwhelmed with participants and now there have been over 1,400,000 quiz taker results. I had wanted to write an update at the 1,000,000 mark, but the consequence of their success was that they had to take down their state-by-state statistics for a few weeks so they could upgrade their software and crank through all of the results to give us updated state-by-state statistics.
The new state-by-state stats are now available. I've run all the calculations again, and here is the new map.
The map is created of over 1,400,000 quiz taker results on the iSideWith site. Users answer 36 questions that cover a range of issues from social, environment, science, foreign policy, domestic policy, immigration, the economy, and healthcare. Their answers are matched up with the candidates' answers, and then they are shown who they align most closely with based on a percentage scale, including percentage alignments of the other candidates so you can see the candidate you least agree with as well.
iSideWith generates state-by-state breakdowns so you can see which state's population of quiz takers supports which candidate from the most to least. I tabulated the data and assigned the electoral votes to the "winner" of each state. In case of ties, the electoral votes are divided evenly and the map shows multicolored lines in tied states. iSideWith included a couple candidates in their questionnaire who will only be on the ballot in a handful of states so I excluded them, but I did include the Constitution, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, and Republican candidates.
Barack Obama as the incumbent, wins a total of 300.5 electoral votes in 26 states. He wins the states you'd expect him to win - the West Coast, Northeast and a few in the Great Lakes region.
Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) loses the title of President from the first report, but he holds on to first place in 26 states surpassing everyone else, except Obama. Johnson receives 231.5 electoral votes.
Mitt Romney loses a lot of ground since the first update and his best finish is 3rd place in 5 states. Zero electoral votes.
Yes. I was 83% Gary Johnson. If most people rate him highly, but our choices are Romney and Obama, the system is very broken.
This still blows my mind. Suppose Johnson were a "viable" candidate. I bet most people in my area, Madison, WI, which is strong Obama territory, haven't even heard of Johnson. If they did hear of Johnson, maybe WI would go for him instead of Obama.
If this is true, i.e. if the test is fair and it really comes out this way, this is a damning indictment of our political system.


Dry, irritating, unproductive coughs combined with a blocked nose or sinuses, eg associated with colds.
Sudafed dry coughs with congestion liquid (previously called Sudafed non-drowsy linctus) contains two active ingredients, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine.
Dextromethorphan is a type of medicine called a cough suppressant. It is used to suppress a dry, tickly, unproductive cough.
Dextromethorphan is used to block the cough reflex in situations where the cough serves no purpose, ie when no plegm is being coughed up. It works by reducing the nerve signals sent from a part of the brain called the coughing centre to the muscles that produce coughing.
Pseudoephedrine is a type of medicine called a decongestant. It works by acting on alpha receptors that are found in the walls of blood vessels in the linings of the nasal passages and sinuses. It causes these blood vessels to contract and narrow, thereby decreasing blood flow into the linings of the nose and sinuses. This reduces the feeling of congestion and also reduces the production of mucus.
Pseudoephedrine also has a weak effect on receptors in the lungs called beta 2 receptors. By acting on these receptors it causes the muscles in the airways to relax. This allows the airways to open, making breathing easier.
The combination of dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine in this medicine is useful for relieving dry, tickly, unproductive coughs with associated nasal or sinus congestion.
If you have any of the following symptoms you should not use this medicine and consult your doctor so that the cough can be investigated further: coughing up phlegm that is green, rusty brown, yellow, blood-stained or foul smelling; shortness of breath, wheezing or difficulty breathing; chest pain; pain and swelling in the calf; sudden weight loss; recurrent night-time cough; or a long-term persistent cough.
Raised pressure in the eye ball, eg glaucoma.
The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy has not been fully established. It is not usually recommended for women who are pregnant. Some studies have suggested that use of pseudoephedrine in the first trimester may be associated with defective closure of the abdominal wall (gastroschisis) in the baby. Seek further medical advice from your doctor, pharmacist or midwife.
It is not known if dextromethorphan passes into breast milk. Pseudoephedrine passes into breast milk in small amounts that are probably too small to be harmful to a nursing infant. However, when taken by mouth, decongestants such as pseudoephedrine can temporarily decrease the production of breast milk with just one or two doses. For this reason, this medicine is best avoided by mothers who are breastfeeding. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
If you are already taking any medicines, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, it is important to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using any new medicines while taking this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.
You should not use other decongestant medicines in combination with this one. Other cough, cold and flu remedies and painkillers may contain these ingredients so always check with your pharmacist before using other medicines in combination with this one.
You should not use this medicine if you are currently taking a type of medicine called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), or have taken one of these medicines in the last 14 days. MAOIs include the antidepressants phenelzine, tranylcypromine, isocarboxazid and moclobemide, and the anti-Parkinson's medicines selegiline and rasagiline. This is because the combination of pseudoephedrine with these medicines could cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure (hypertensive crisis).
Pseudoephedrine may reduce the effects of medicines to treat high blood pressure (antihypertensives). If you are taking medicines for high blood pressure you should not take this medicine.

Congo-Brazzaville has banned Muslim women from wearing the full face-veil in public, citing security reasons, an Islamic association told AFP on Saturday.
"The Interior Minister (Raymond Zephirin Mboulou) notified us of the decision to prohibit Muslim women from wearing the full veil. The decision was taken in order to prevent any act of terrorism and insecurity," said El Hadj Abdoulaye Djibril Bopaka, who heads the Islamic Supreme Council of Congo-Brazzaville.
"Muslim women can now only wear the full veil at home and in places of worship, but not in public places," he said, adding that only a tiny minority of women in Congo-Brazzaville actually cover their faces and entire bodies. The ban does not affect any other kind of veil.
Congo-Brazzaville is home to some 800,000 Muslims in a population of nearly six million. Only 10 per cent are local, with the rest coming from Arab or neighbouring west African nations.


While in the mall on Friday, next to the Lense Crafers is an eye doctor. So I decided to get an eye exam done, totally spur of the moment, but it needed to be done nonetheless. Turns out I'm near sited, which I assumed considering I see fine close up.
The BEST and most exciting part was picking out my awesome eye wear! There were so many choices and I've NEVER had to think about eye wear before, but I knew I was going with a black frame, mainly because that fits my personality and style, and we all know black goes with everything.
I've been wearing them for a few days now and I feel like I look like a different person! I'm definitely still getting used to them driving and just looking at ANYTHING. It's so different! Even though I got a low prescription, I'm still amazed at the difference they make.

Q: Alternative of espresso for windows Espresso has live preview feature which shows live changes of code as we write code.
I am searching for same feature in a tool for Windows?
Dreamweaver has that one, but doesn't support JS. Is there any other web editor or IDE?

A: The closest I know of is the IntelliJ platform (WebStorm/IntelliJ IDEA) with the live edit plugin. It works in combination with a Chrome plugin.
You can watch a demonstration of live edit in action here
Instructions for setting up the Chrome plugin are here.

A: Shameless plug: LIVEditor - the product name contains the word live, in order to emphasize its feature to show live html/css preview, which is, alone with the integrated Firebug-like html element inspector for showing applied css styles, the most important nature of this code editor.

Richard Scott Baumhammers (born May 17, 1965) is an American former immigration attorney and spree killer who began a racially motivated crime spree on April 28, 2000, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which left five individuals dead and one paralyzed.

Early life
Richard Baumhammers was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Andrejs and Inese Baumhammers, both Lutheran Latvian immigrants who fled the Soviet occupation of their homeland. Both parents would become faculty members of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine and would open a successful practice on Fifth Avenue, near the university. Baumhammers was the second child to Andrejs and Inese; his older sister Daina was born in 1963. The family settled in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon. Baumhammers was a second-string kicker on the Mt. Lebanon High School football team.

After completing high school in 1983, Baumhammers graduated from Kent State University in Ohio in 1989 and began law school at Cumberland Law School in Birmingham, Alabama. A Cumberland classmate described Baumhammers as "gregarious, a good student, in the top third of his class." After graduating from Cumberland, Baumhammers enrolled in a specialized one-year international program at the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California, where he received a master's degree in transnational business practice and specialized in both immigration law and international law.

For several years in the mid-1990s, Baumhammers lived in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was listed with the International Law Section members of the Georgia Bar Association. He was an active member as of March 2000.

Emotional instability
Richard Baumhammers returned to Pittsburgh in the late 1990s and lived with his parents following a series of emotional problems. Baumhammers had been treated for mental illness since 1993 and had voluntarily admitted himself to a psychiatric ward at least twice. Later, he would obsess about his physical appearance, believing that his face had been scarred by sunlight. However, dermatologists told Baumhammers that his skin was "perfectly normal." His father, Andrejs, would later say that he had seen signs of mental illness since Baumhammers was four years old.

Travel abroad
In 1993 Baumhammers traveled to Europe for a vacation, and upon returning home, his father was shocked by his son's emotional state. Andrejs would later testify that Baumhammers told him that during a visit to Ukraine, he became "euphoric"; but that by the time he traveled to Finland, he believed people were following and harassing him.

Andrejs would also claim later that Baumhammers told his parents that he could no longer speak openly to them because he believed the FBI was monitoring the house. Baumhammers insisted that his parents had to go into the basement to talk with him, using a pen and notepad. Andrejs Baumhammers claimed that Baumhammers even asked at one point to be taken to Dr. Kevorkian to help him commit suicide.

Richard Baumhammers admitted himself to Pittsburgh's Western Psychiatric Institute hospital and was diagnosed with delusional disorder of the persecutional type by Dr. Matcheri Keshavan. Over the next several years, Baumhammers would see eight psychiatrists, four clinical psychologists and try 16 different medications. After his release, Baumhammers stayed with his parents in their Mt. Lebanon home. He was a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association until he let his membership lapse in 1999.

In 1997, the now-unemployed Baumhammers traveled to Riga, Latvia, where he lived in an apartment on Kr. Barona Avenue which was less than a block from where his grandparents had lived in the mid-1930s. He acquired Latvian citizenship and sought to regain some of the family's properties lost during the Soviet occupation of Latvia. He made a claim under Latvia's de-nationalization process but was too late, as any claims had been required to be filed by 1996.

According to several people who associated with him in Latvia, Baumhammers mainly kept to himself. When he did socialize, he seemed to have felt most comfortable spending time with native Latvians and a few passing Latvian Americans. Those who met him in Latvia said they did not recall Baumhammers being prone to violence or ever espousing any racist remarks, and the Latvian government has no record of Baumhammers ever getting in trouble with authorities. Several Latvian acquaintances, however, described Baumhammers as intent on meeting women but "awkward."

In the fall of 1999, Baumhammers was arrested in Paris, France, for striking a 50-year-old female bartender named Vivianne Le Garrac because he "believed she was Jewish." Baumhammers then told both Le Garrac and the arresting officers that he was "mentally ill." The police took Baumhammers for evaluation to the psychiatric ward of the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, then detained him at a police station. By week's end, he left on a flight for Spain.

On April 27, 2000, Baumhammers would purchase a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver in South Strabane Township, Pennsylvania.

Killing spree
On April 28, 2000, at 1:30 p.m. EDT, Richard Baumhammers walked to the home of his next-door neighbor, a 63-year-old Jewish woman named Anita "Nicki" Gordon, and fatally shot her, then set her house on fire. Gordon had been friends with Baumhammers' parents for 31 years. Afterwards, Baumhammers jumped into his black Jeep Cherokee and drove to the Beth El Congregation in Scott Township, where Gordon was a member of the synagogue. There, he fired into the synagogue's windows, then exited his vehicle and spray-painted two red swastikas on the building.

A short distance from the synagogue at the India Grocer in Scott Town Center, 31-year-old Anil Thakur, formerly of Bihar, India, was shot to death while picking up groceries during his lunch hour. A 25-year-old store manager named Sandeep Patel was shot in the neck and paralyzed. Patel would use a wheelchair for the next seven years before dying at the age of 32 in February 2007 from complications due to pneumonia at UPMC, in McCandless, Pennsylvania.

Baumhammers next drove to the Ahavath Achim Congregation in Carnegie, where he shattered the synagogue's glass windows with gunfire. At Robinson Town Centre, about ten miles from his home, he walked into Ya Fei Chinese Cuisine where Chinese restaurant manager Ji-ye Sun, aged 34 and Theo "Tony" Pham, a 27-year-old Vietnamese American cook were fatally shot in front of customers.

From Robinson Town Center, Baumhammers drove to the C.S. Kim School of Karate in Center Township, Beaver County where Garry Lee, a 22-year-old African American was exercising with a European American friend, George Thomas II. Baumhammers initially pointed the gun at Thomas, then turned and fired at Lee, killing him instantly.

Arrest and trial
Richard Baumhammers was pulled over in his Jeep and arrested at 3:30 p.m. EDT in the town of Ambridge, Pennsylvania. Baumhammers' spree lasted two hours and ran a 15-mile trail that spanned two counties and crossed three townships.

Baumhammers was charged with 19 crimes which included five counts of criminal homicides, one count of attempted homicide, eight counts of ethnic intimidation, two counts of arson, two counts of criminal mischief, one count of arson, one count of reckless endangerment of another person, one count of violation of uniform firearms act, two counts of institution vandalism and one count of aggravated assault.

When Pittsburgh police officers searched Baumhammers' Mt. Lebanon home, they found a document for the "Free Market Party," written by Baumhammers, which read like a manifesto and listed him as the "chairman." The document purportedly champions the rights of European Americans and complains that minorities and immigrants are outnumbering them. Baumhammers had also created an internet website on which he called for "an end to non-white immigration" and stated that "almost all" present-day immigration "is non-European."

On May 1, 2000, Richard Baumhammers was arraigned on charges of homicide, arson, and hate crimes. His bond was set at $1 million. On May 19, 2000, Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Lawrence J. O'Toole ruled that Baumhammers was unfit to stand trial and ordered that Baumhammers undergo at least 90 days of psychiatric treatment. O'Toole made his decision after three psychiatrists examined Baumhammers, each coming to the conclusion that Baumhammers was psychologically unstable.  The psychiatrists agreed that he was psychotic but used different words to describe his condition: paranoid schizophrenic, psychotic thought disorder, and delusional disorder. These confused reporters.

Nearly a year later, on May 9, 2001, a jury found Richard Baumhammers guilty on all nineteen charges. Two days later, on May 11, 2001, after deliberating for 20 minutes, the same jury requested that Baumhammers be executed for his crimes. Baumhammers was scheduled to die by lethal injection. He is currently incarcerated at Greene State Correctional Institute in Franklin Township, Pennsylvania, awaiting judicial appeal dates.

On January 19, 2010, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed an execution warrant for Baumhammers. He was scheduled to be put to death on March 18, 2010. On February 28, 2010, Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey A. Manning granted Baumhammers an indefinite stay of execution.

On November 26, 2019, Baumhammers lost an appeal of his conviction and death sentence.

AG Lynch's testimony 'disgraceful'
Written by Chad Groening Published: 21 January 2016
Mike Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America, describes Lynch's testimony as "a pretty disgraceful performance in virtually every way that it's possible for testimony to be disgraceful."
He continues: "It criminalized collectors and hobbyists of firearms. She said [she was] just putting out guidance basically consisting of what the courts said. That's a lie in a whole bunch of ways."
A pro-Second Amendment advocacy organization wasn't impressed with the recent testimony of Attorney General Loretta Lynch before a Senate panel, in essence calling it a pack of lies.
In testimony on Wednesday before the Senate Appropriations Commerce, Justice and Science Subcommittee, the AG defended her boss's recent executive actions that some say is his first salvo in restricting Americans' constitutional right to own and bear arms. She told lawmakers that the president took lawful, commonsense steps to stem firearms violence that kills and injures tens of thousands of Americans yearly.
But Mike Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America, describes Lynch's testimony as "a pretty disgraceful performance in virtually every way that it's possible for testimony to be disgraceful."
In contrast, Hammond was pleased that Republican members on the panel, including subcommittee chairman Richard Shelby of Alabama (see video below), said the gun-control measures Obama announced two weeks ago were the latest example of overreach of executive branch powers.
In the meantime, Gun Owners of America isn't sitting idle. "We have already drafted a package of amendments overturning all of Obama's unlawful executive actions" – amendments Hammond says will give the president a choice:
"If he wants his legacy bill in which he lets drug traffickers out on the streets, he's going to have to accept an amendment to repeal all of his executive actions."

Big Little Lies Season 2 DVD Review
"Big Little Lies" season 2 lacks depth.
"Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this blog post. The opinions I share are my own."
After the death of Perry, Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz), Jane (Shailene Woodley), Celeste (Nicole Kidman), and Renata (Laura Dern) attempt to move on with their lives, but that proves difficult. Perry's distraught mother Mary Louise (Meryl Streep) is snooping around to find answers, Bonnie is struggling with what she did, Renata's husband Gordon has been arrested and he has lost all of their money, and Madeline and Ed's marriage deteriorates. On top of that, there's plenty of other family drama involving secrets, cheating, future plans, children, a character having a stroke, and relationships.
Season 2 (which is comprised of 7 episodes directed by Andrea Arnold and written by David E. Kelly with story credits by author Liane Moriarty) is the definition of a cash grab. While I wasn't fond of season one, it was easy to see the appeal due to the star power and gripping drama. With season 2, there's simply not enough story here as the fallout of events from season 1 feel drawn out and fairly obvious. All 7 episodes feel like an excuse to reunite the cast and add Meryl Streep into the mix. The drama within the season feels like a glorified soap opera with problems being piled onto the characters in an over-the-top fashion. The season also becomes a veritable court drama with Mary Louise (no spoilers as to why).
I don't think there's any question that "Big Little Lies" coasts on star power alone. Kravitz, Witherspoon, Dern, Kidman, Streep, and Woodley are all great here and have been rightfully lauded with awards. It's just a shame their talents aren't devoted to something richer and more realistic than a paltry melodrama.
Presentation: Widescreen. How does it look? The DVD transfer is perfectly acceptable for standard definition. It should be noted this is also available on Blu-ray
Audio Track: 5.1 Surround. does job
The lone extra is a roundtable discussion with Kidman, Kravitz, Dern, Streep, Woodley, and Witherspoon titled "The Lies Revealed: A Conversation With The Cast Of Big Little Lies"

Hello eP fans! Toni here to share a project with you today. I challenged myself to actually cut into the beautiful Graphic 45 'Botanical Tea' paper pad that Kim sent me recently. All you hoarders and paper strokers will know exactly how difficult it can be to rip out a sheet and start cutting but look, I did it !
I used a Sizzix accordion Die for the base of this 3d card and did lots of cutting and layering using images from an 8x8 paper pad.
Wonderful Toni and great use of those gorgeous papers!!
I can't believe you cut into those Beautiful papers, Toni, but oh MY how Gorgeous this 3D card is! LOVE how you arranged and layered the elements! FAB creation!
Wow Toni! what a beautiful project! love the images from that wonderful paper - what a gift for the receiver - or how lovely it would look opened up on your own windowsill or shelf!!!
Toni you created a fabolous accordion card. Wow... A lot of details in all the cut outs, layering. You are so creative. I admire the way you made it all look nice together.
Thank you for sharing your pretty project.
Absolutely beautiful. The best way possible to use the papers.
Wow Toni, 3D cards tend to scare me. This looks so intricate and time consuming and the end result is WOW! Gorgeous.


I have a mountain of material from last week's HIMSS conference, but no time to write anything here because I have been cranking out the stories for Health-IT World News and for the British e-zine E-Health Insider. I have to pay the bills, ya know.
Please do take a look at those publications if you have not before.
Check this space later for a lengthy posting of my finds and observations of HIMSS, including info on several other blogs I have come across recently. Some of the links appear in the column at the right.
One quick note: I am approaching 1,000 page views since I started tracking hits in September. Thanks for your support.

Reinventing the Classics
Update these classic dishes to give them a modern comeback.
Let's be honest. We wouldn't be here if not for the classics, but food wouldn't be exciting if we didn't evolve at all. Updating a classic dish helps to preserve the tradition of the dish while elevating it and making it relevant through the introduction of new techniques and flavours.
Imagine Italian pizza dough topped with an Indian-inspired chicken tikka masala, strips of butter chicken or spicy Korean bulgogi. The possibilities are endless, and it doesn't just end at exotic toppings; some restaurants have taken to reinventing the pizza base and crust too. Singapore based pizza chain, Skinny Pizza, has gone to the extremes by eliminating the traditional doughy base and replacing it with a thin cracker. Other inventive variations include conical pizza crusts, or even heart-shaped pizzas for special occasions such as Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.
An all-time classic favourite, french fries haven't escaped the trend monster. Restaurants serve up heaps of fries topped with kimchi or doused in cheese sauce, making truffle fries look like a thing of the past. They don't play on the safe side with the dips either; Thai sweet chilli sauce, hot sauce and Sriracha mayonnaise are just some examples of what's hot these days.
Boring old cheeseburger? No, thanks. With the number of new burger styles popping up all over the map, it's hard to settle for the classics. Burgers filled with jalapeño poppers and Cajun shrimp, and laced generously with chilli sauce or chipotle mayo are now all the rage.
Tips from a top chef
We speak to chef and owner of The Test Kitchen and executive chef of The Bistro Group, Chef Josh Boutwood, who sheds some light on a few classic dishes that have been given a modern makeover in recent times.
"Fried chicken is a big trend in the Philippines right now, but what's interesting are the flavours that they're putting on top of the chicken after frying. There are restaurants adding amazing toppings like dashi mayonnaise on top of katsoubushi (more commonly known as bonito flakes) and trout roe on top of fried chicken. I've also seen fried chicken and sweet potato waffles with Sriracha-infused maple syrup."
American smokehouses
"Tennessee or South Carolina-style smokehouses are all the rage now, and I think they're going to last for a good couple of years. They are very different from the smokehouses I was used to in Sweden, which focused more on smoking fish and used a much cleaner kind of wood. This new American style is very dark, fatty and deep in flavour, and the rubs are extremely multi-dimensional."

Naked Brother Nat Wolff Bares Soul in 'Paper Towns'
Margo (Cara Delevingne) and Quentin (Nat Wolff) enjoy an unforgettable evening together in PAPER TOWNS. ©20th Century Fox. CR: Michael Tackett
HOLLYWOOD—Nat Wolff is only 20, but he is already a show business veteran. Millennials may remember him as one of the stars of Nickelodeon's "The Naked Brothers Band," which ran from 2007-2009. The son of a jazz pianist father (Michael Wolff) and actress mother (Polly Draper), Nat and his older brother Alex inherited their parents' entertainment genes.
The native Angeleno now stars in the teen romantic dramedy "Paper Towns," opposite supermodel Cara Delevingne. Set in the Sunshine State, the young stars play lifelong friends who have lived next door to each other for as long as they can remember. When daring Margo (Delevingne) recruits him in a scheme to exact revenge against someone, Quentin, a.k.a. Q (Wolff) enthusiastically joins her. Later, when she turns up missing, it's up to Q to follow the clues to uncover the mystery of what happened.
The boyish-looking actor/musician recently spoke about tackling this movie project—his second in which he plays a character from a John Green book. He previously had a supporting role in the big screen adaptation of Green's "The Fault in Our Stars." The mystery is directed by Jake Schreier ("Robot & Frank") and adapted for the screen by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber ( who also adapted "Fault in Our Stars").
Q: This is your first leading role, right?
Wolff: Yeah. It's definitely the movie that from the beginning I was involved in, even before there was a script and a director and everybody treated me like a creative partner. Sometimes, as an actor, you feel like a hired gun and, on this, I really felt like part of the team.
Q: So John Green and you found each other on "The Fault in Our Stars"?
Wolff: Yeah. John has a joke that when his wife's around she feels like she is the third wheel with John and me. I think that John should just come on all the sets that I'm working on and just sit there and be the producer and every time he's got an adaptation I'd be honored to come and do craft service.
Q: How was working with Cara?
Wolff: Cara was great. She came in for the chemistry read because I'd been involved with the movie before she was involved, and I was the only person in the world who hadn't heard of her. She walked in and I did a double take and said, "I think you were outside my apartment on a billboard." Right outside my apartment across the street was this big billboard of Cara and Kate Moss that I used to walk my dog past. I was like, "I think I walked my dog past you a thousand times." She walked in and she was basically Margo. She's such a natural actor.
Q: John (Green, the novelist and executive producer) was saying that she likes to touch his ears. Did she do anything like that to you?
Wolff: She liked to check if I had any boogers in my nose every single day. She would look up into my nose right before a take. One time when we were sitting across from each other, she was on camera and I see her eyes go like this (looking over his shoulder) and she said, "Is that a water slide?" She points. We were outside and she saw a water slide to the right. At lunch, she ended up going and buying eight tickets for the water slide. The whole cast and director went to the water slide on our day off.
Q: Did Cara pull any pranks on set? What was she like to be around? Fun?
Wolff: Yeah. We honestly had so much fun. At the end of the movie me, Austin (Abrams) Cara, Halston (Sage) and Justice (Smith) all started crying. It was really a magical experience and one of those things where doing this movie was a little bit like going in a time machine and going back in time for me playing this character. I didn't want it to end.
Q: Do you see any similarities between Cara and Shailene Woodley, who you worked with in "Fault in Our Stars?"
Wolff: That's interesting. I guess they are both strong and interesting women and they're both in John Green adaptations. I can't think of anything off the top of my head except I really do love them both and they're both good friends of mine and both talented.
Q: In the movie you say, "Everyone gets his miracle". What's your miracle?
Wolff: I've had so many. I'm so lucky. I guess, right now, my miracle is "Paper Towns," that I was included in this great world and John Green for writing this good book.
Q: Why did you want to be an actor when you were a kid?
Wolff: My parents' friends were cool artists and musicians and painters and I thought that's what people did. I was really obsessed with the Beatles and my parents had a bunch of Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman movies. I used to go watch them when everybody was asleep because I was too young to watch these R-rated movies. Then I got to be in a couple of plays. In my second play, I got to see my first live naked woman. That was the best. Then I just kept doing plays and I've been obsessive about acting ever since.
Q: Some people have likened you to a young Dustin Hoffman.
Wolff: He's one of my favorites. I was 11 or 12 when I first started liking him. I won an acting contest and got to go have an acting lesson with him when I was in eighth grade. It was so cool. I spent like an hour with him and did a scene from "Ordinary People," and, at the end of it, he was like, "You're a real actor, kid." About four years later, I went to a film festival and he was coming out of an elevator and I said, "I don't know if you remember me but I had an acting lesson with you and you said I was a real actor. Now I'm here with a real movie." He said, "Well, I'm going to charge you more next time."
Q: You're also an accomplished musician. You've done a lot at such a young age.
Wolff: Thanks. I hate to be bored. I have a lot of crazy energy and I like to put it into music or acting. Cara also has a crazy appetite for life as well.
Q: Do you have anything in common with your character?
Wolff: I had more in common with Quentin when I was in seventh or eighth grade than I did at the end of high school. Because I grew up in New York and was an actor/musician, I grew up a little faster than (my character) did. But, when I was in eighth grade, I kind of was that kid. I used to play it safer. I had to learn to be more courageous and I think that's the journey of Quentin.
Q: In this movie as well as in "The Fault in Our Stars," nobody is on their phone or texting as kids do in real life. Does that seem normal to you?
Wolff: Yeah, I think a lot of people who've seen "Paper Towns" feel nostalgic for their high school years. I think the best movies about young people are not too specific to the time where it's not relatable but also doesn't feel dated. (You wouldn't say) "Kids don't talk like that anymore." It was like all of us did get in a time machine and stayed back there a couple of months. Then, when I came home, it was like I was coming out of a fog. I felt like an alien when I got home.
Q: Do you think of yourself as a romantic guy? Would you go all over the world trying to find a woman?
Wolff: I feel that one of things I can connect to is my passion to be the best kind of artist that I can be. That is almost like my Margo (Cara's character). It's always something this is just this much ahead of me and I can't really touch but it's always leading me.
Q: What's next?
Wolff: I'm in this movie called "In Dubious Battle," where I got to play this guy leading a strike with James Franco, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris and Vincent D'Onofrio. I got to jump on a table and be like (yelling) "Strike! Strike!" So, that was super fun. But I got home one day from work and I'd been beating this guy up all day and there was a girl in the movie and we were getting out of a van and these drunk crack guys were harassing the girl and I was like, "You guys! Back off!" in the accent that I had for the movie. Sometimes I get a little too lost in it.
Q: Are you going to do more music?
Wolff: Yeah, I've been doing music all summer with my brother. We have an EP coming out and we're going to play some shows on the "Paper Towns" tour.

Devotion in Motion: The blessing of a second wind
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)
By Bro. John L. Cash
My father's oldest brother was named Howard. He outlived all of his siblings, reaching the ripe old age of 89 years. My Uncle Howard was wonderful, and I adored him. I'll have to tell you all about him sometime.
Several years before Uncle Howard passed away, he had a series of small strokes that affected his ability to choose the correct word for the idea he was trying to express. His life became very frustrating. In his discouragement, he said that he was going to pray for the Lord to "take him on home to Heaven" because he was tired of living this life below.
However, after a bit of time had passed by, Uncle Howard began to recover and to feel better. One day his son was helping him pay a stack of bills. One of the bills was a subscription notice for a little magazine that Uncle Howard liked to read. His son said, "Daddy, there's a renewal letter for your magazine. You can renew for one year. But if you renew for three years, you save some money. Which do you want to do?"
Uncle Howard thought about it briefly and decided he would renew his subscription for three years. You see, a wonderful thing had happened. Howard Cash had gotten his second wind! He went on to live a number of happy years in an assisted living facility. He became an expert pocket-billiards player and rode around the campus on a Rascal Wheelchair Scooter. He called out the numbers in a weekly Bingo hour, was active in his church, and was dearly loved by all the other residents. The last years of his life were very happy.
There's a very important lesson for all of us here. We all become tired and discouraged from time to time. But, the most beautiful thing of all is that — in our lives with the Lord — He very often sends us a second wind. That's what David was talking about in The 23rd Psalm when he wrote, "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures…He restoreth my soul."
So this week, when you are weary, don't go to pieces. Go to the Shepherd instead.
Dr. John L. Cash is the "Country Preacher Dad." He was raised in Stuttgart, Arkansas, and has spent the last 27 years being a country preacher in the piney woods five miles south of the little town of Hickory, Mississippi. (On week days has a desk-job at a public school and teaches Latin on closed-circuit-television.) He and his lovely wife, Susan, live in the parsonage next door to the Antioch Christian Church (where the Preacher and his wife sometimes get tired but always get rested up again.) The Cashes have two sons, Spencer (age 21), and Seth (age 18), who live in the parsonage, too, except when they are away at college. He would love to hear from you in an email sent to countrypreacherdad@gaggle.net.

Joint Letter regarding Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator
The Honourable Steve Clark
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
777 Bay St.
M5G 2E5
Dear Minister Clark,
RE: ERO 019-5285 and 019-5284 - The Proposed Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator Tool and Resulting Risk to Farmland, Drinking Water and Natural Areas
We are writing to express our deep concern about the Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator tool for use in municipalities with well-established land use planning systems. In particular, we are concerned about the impact that this tool will have in slating prime farmland and vital greenspace for development.
This new tool does not require the usual process of public consultation and official planning review and offers the possibility to circumvent the requirements of provincial plans, the Provincial Policy Statement and municipal official plans. We understand that regrettably, this tool has already been introduced through amendments to the Planning Act with the passage of Bill 109 on April 14, 2022. Nevertheless, we urge you not to proceed with its use.
We participate in public consultation processes in good faith, trusting that our perspectives will be duly considered by the government. Yet Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, was passed two weeks before the public consultation on the proposed changes (ERO #019-5285) had even ended. Moving ahead with the legislation in this way undermines the right of the public to be consulted on environmental matters, as guaranteed under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993.
If the government chooses to move ahead with the use of the Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator tool, we request that the proposed new guidelines clearly outline strong protections for farmland and natural areas outside the Greenbelt.
Recommendations for Increased Protection of Farmland and Natural Areas
We support the current guideline that the Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator tool will not be used within the Greenbelt boundary. We recommend that the guidelines include stronger protections for farmland and natural areas outside the Greenbelt. In particular we recommend that:
The guidelines indicate that a Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator order may not be made on specialty crop land, prime agricultural land, lands zoned agricultural or rural that are currently in use for agricultural purposes, provincially significant wetlands, sensitive headwater areas, provincially significant woodlands, endangered species habitat or other defined sensitive natural areas.
Minimum density targets be required for developments issued through this type of order.
Undermining Existing Land Use Planning
This new proposed Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator tool clearly builds from the current practice of issuing Minister's Zoning Orders (MZOs). Like the ongoing use of MZOs, Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator orders propose an alternate approval process with the power to circumvent many land use planning requirements.
MZOs were originally introduced to allow the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to make planning decisions over land that had no official plan or to advance a provincial interest (e.g., preservation of farmland, protection of natural heritage). They were not intended to compete with or contradict existing land use planning.
However, MZOs have become a tool used by this government to accelerate often controversial residential and industrial developments in areas where there is complete and comprehensive municipal land use planning in place (e.g., Perth South, Whitchurch-Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Pickering, East Gwillimbury, Caledon). In bypassing municipal planning processes that allow for public and agency consultation, this government is denying residents in these and other municipalities their right to participate in important decisions affecting their communities. This government is also undermining the existing land use planning process put in place to protect the provincial and public interest, including protection of farmland and natural areas.
Value of Farmland
Ontario's farmland is the foundation of the agri-food sector which, according to OMAFRA, supported more than 720,000 Ontario jobs along the supply chain and contributed over $46.3 billion to the province's GDP in 2020. In light of concerns about food security, we recognize, now more than ever, the importance of this productive farmland to our ongoing health and prosperity. It is a finite and shrinking resource which must be protected through informed land use planning.
Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator orders that take prime farmland out of production will lead to land speculation, increased prices of farmland, and loss of agriculture-related businesses, making farming less attractive and eroding agriculture in the area. They also circumvent policy requirements for Minimum Distance Separation and Agricultural Impact Assessments, intended to ensure that the potential impact of development on farm operations is evaluated and properly addressed. Finally, community infrastructure and housing accelerator orders put surrounding farmland at risk from future development as municipalities may seek to maximize the value of any newly installed municipal infrastructure.
Safeguarding Water Quality and Reducing Flood Risk
The government has a duty to ensure that its decisions do not impair the quality of drinking water or the health of our watersheds. Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator orders that remove greenspace and farmland jeopardize both. As natural areas and farmland are paved over, high water flows and streambank erosion increase, carrying sediments and contaminants, including chloride from road salt, directly into river systems.
Wetlands in particular play a vital role in preventing erosion and filtering excess nutrients, chemicals and other waste from run-off. In addition to safeguarding water quality, they also lower the risk of flooding. As noted in the 2019 report of Ontario's Special Advisor on Flooding, a study commissioned by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry found that "maintaining wetlands can reduce flood damages and costs by 29% in rural areas and by 38% in urban areas." Similarly, a 2018 report released by the Insurance Bureau of Canada promoted wetlands and other natural infrastructure as "a cost-effective way to mitigate material financial losses that would otherwise result from flooding."
Density within Existing Settlement Boundaries
Increasing density within existing settlement areas boundaries will reduce risk to farmland and natural areas. The Guidelines should set density targets for any development approved through this tool.
The recent report from the Housing Affordability Task Force strongly recommends finding new building opportunities within already existing urban boundaries as a way to protect natural areas and farmland. "Most of the solution must come from densification. Greenbelts and other environmentally sensitive areas must be protected, and farms provide food and food security. Relying too heavily on undeveloped land would whittle away too much of the already small share of land devoted to agriculture." The Task Force also provided a clear rationale for densification, going on to say that "gentle density also makes better use of roads, water and wastewater systems, transit and other public services that are already in place and have capacity, instead of having to be built in new areas."
It is critical that the government do its utmost to protect our farmland and natural areas. These lands and waters provide safe healthy food, economic growth opportunities, vital recreational space, and environmental goods and services such as flood and erosion mitigation, carbon sequestration, water purification, improved air quality, biodiversity conservation, pollination services, nutrient cycling and more. A 2009 study commissioned by the Ministry of Natural Resources valued the benefits provided at over $84 billion per year in southern Ontario alone.
Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator orders pose a direct and immediate threat to these benefits. For this reason, we ask for clear Accelerator tool guidelines for the protection of farmland and natural areas. In particular, we recommend that the guidelines indicate that a Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator order may not be made on specialty crop land, prime agricultural land, lands zoned agricultural or rural and currently in use for agricultural purposes, provincially significant wetlands, sensitive headwater areas, provincially significant woodlands, endangered species habitat or other defined sensitive natural areas, and that minimum density targets should be required for developments issued through this type of order.
We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss our concerns with you at your earliest convenience.

Around the World in Eighty Days is a classic adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne. The story starts in London on Tuesday, October 1, 1872. Fogg is a rich English gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for 20,000 (equal to about 1.5 million today) from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days.

the cutest monkey cupcakes ever!
Well, to be honest, these are also the only ones I've ever seen, but I stand by my statement. I love adorable-looking cupcakes and the little kids getting the frosting all over themselves once again sharpens my maternal instincts - when I have kids, we are going to be baking up a storm, I swear.
I just wanted to thank you for the adorable cupcake idea! I made these for my daughter's 2nd birthday party yesterday and they were a HUGE hit! Thanks!
okay, I'm a little "blogger" challenged....I can't find the recipe for the Monkey cupcakes!
Are those nutter butter for ears????
can you forward me the recipe? I have to make them for my daughters bday!

Home news A crew member of covid-19 cruise ship died in Florida
A crew member of covid-19 cruise ship died in Florida
Officials said one of the crew members who was hospitalized for several days after two sick cruise ships with coronary disease were eventually allowed to leave in Florida.
Broward County Medical Examiner Craig Malak confirmed the death of Uweit Widarto, 50, from Indonesia.
Widarto's test was positive for COVID-19, raising the death toll associated with the Zaandam ship to four.
The man died, six days after the Zaandam wharf and a sister ship at Fort Lauderdale after spending two weeks at sea, which were rejected by South American ports,
Spokesman for the Netherlands-America Line said.
He was taken to a hospital in Florida on the same day the ship was docked.
Four elderly passengers had already died before the cruise ships arrived, and the medical examiner said earlier this week that three of these men had been diagnosed with COVID-19.
The death of the fourth man is due to a viral infection.
Malak said his test results were negative for the new virus, but he died for 12 days before being tested
About 1,200 passengers got off the Zaandam ship and its sister Rotterdam, which was sent for first refurbishment with supplies and crew members who became ill.
Cruise, federal and Florida officials negotiated for several days before disembarking.
The cruise line says that 29 passengers on board because of their mild illness were to finally travel to their country on chartered flights, a week after their arrival in Florida.
Zaandam left from Buenos Aires, Argentina one day before the State Department advised to avoid traveling on a cruise and a week before most cruise lines stopped their flights
Meanwhile about 12 international guests will remain quarantined aboard Coral Princess which docked last weekend in Miami with cases of covid-19, according to a statement by Princess Cruzes.
The company said that many of the former Princess passengers left South Florida on five charter flights.
It was one domestic flight while the others were heading to South America and Europe.
Despite ongoing efforts through diplomatic channels, the company said that current travel restrictions by countries of origin prevent travel to home for 13 international guests, and local authorities will not allow the use of local hotels. Guests will stay with Coral Princess' crew for 14 days.
The port of Miami was scheduled to leave Thursday evening.
Two riders died before the Coral Princess moored in Miami and a third later died in hospital. It is not clear whether the deaths were caused by COVID-19.
The ship originally left Chile and Passengers were supposed to disembark in Argentina
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the extension of the non-sailing order to all cruise ships. Officials did not say when they expected the matter to end.
We are working with the cruise line industry to address the health and safety of crew members at sea as well as the communities surrounding the entry points of American cruise ships
Robert Redfield director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
The measures we take today to stop the spread of COVID-19 are necessary to protect Americans, and we will continue to provide industry-critical public health guidelines to reduce the effects of COVID-19 on its workforce for the remainder of the epidemic.

The Pastoralists and Graziers' Association of WA (PGA) has commended the action taken by the Australian livestock export industry to suspend supply of cattle to three Indonesian abattoirs after becoming aware that their animal welfare practices did not meet the high standards demanded by Australian producers.
"We welcome the rapid response by Livecorp and MLA in immediately placing sanctions on these three Indonesian processors after being provided with evidence of animal cruelty and trust that this action will provide a strong message to any other processors, whether in Indonesia, or world wide that such practices will not be supported," PGA President Rob Gillam said today.
"It is the livestock export industry, not animal rights groups, that has been instrumental in improving animal welfare by implementing upgrades to overseas feed lots, abattoirs and port facilities, as well as ensuring that overseas governments establish animal welfare standards in their own countries," Mr Gillam said.


Collaborative divorce originated in Minnesota in the early 1990's. The process involves divorce litigants agreeing to forego court proceedings and work together to gather information, consult with experts, and bring matters to a conclusion by agreement. The evolution of early neutral evaluation has reduced the number of collaborative divorces.


Doctors can usually identify mosquito bites by sight.
The red, itchy, painful swelling referred to as skeeter syndrome is sometimes mistaken for a secondary bacterial infection brought on by scratching and broken skin. Skeeter syndrome is actually the result of an allergic reaction to proteins in mosquito saliva. There's no simple blood test to detect mosquito antibodies in blood, so mosquito allergy is diagnosed by determining whether the large, red areas of swelling and itching occurred after you were bitten by mosquitoes.
Most mosquito bites stop itching and heal on their own in a few days. These self-care tips may make you more comfortable.
"Their saliva deposits in the skin from where the bite is, and it's causing a reaction to that saliva."
Dr. Summer Allen, a Mayo Clinic family physician, says some of the tried-and-true home remedies for treating mosquito bites work well. Calamine lotion, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream and even a cold compress can ease the itch.
"It's going to soothe and kind of calm down that intense burning and inflammation that they're feeling in their skin."
"If they itch it hard enough, or depending on what they use to itch their skin, they can cause a break in their skin. They can develop a bacterial infection."
"Time takes care of it, and try to do your best not to itch it if you can."
You won't need to see your doctor for a mosquito bite, unless you develop a fever or other signs and symptoms that sometimes develop after such bites.
Does the medication you're prescribing have any side effects?
If itching is a problem, an over-the-counter antihistamine (Benadryl, Chlor-Trimeton, others) may help.

As Disney turns 100, its business is on a rollercoaster ride – The Economist
by News Feed Editor | Jan 19, 2023 | Business
Splash Mountain, a popular ride in Disneyland, towers over attractions that encapsulate the 100-year history of the Walt Disney Company. To the south, on Main Street USA, a little cinema screens "Steam Boat Willie", in which Mickey Mouse made his debut in 1928. In the centre of the park the Sleeping Beauty Castle evokes the classic Disney animations of the 1940s and 1950s. On the outskirts are areas themed around Star Wars and the Marvel universe, which Disney took over during an acquisitions spree in the 2000s. Passengers at the high point of the ride have a few seconds to take in the view. Then, with a lurch, their car makes a near-vertical plunge and everyone gets drenched.Listen to this story.
