Patient Celebrates Daughter's Wedding From Patio of the Inpatient Pavilion at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare
Media Release, News and Updates, Patient and Family Stories
After battling colorectal cancer for almost a year, Crystal Mackey's doctors at University Hospitals in Cleveland encouraged her to seek hospice care. Her family reached out to Ohio's Hospice LifeCare in Wooster, and the not-for-profit hospice's mobile care unit transported her on Wednesday, July 14, to the Stanley C. and Flo K. Gault Inpatient Pavilion at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare. The care team worked quickly to get her settled in a patient room, managing her symptoms, adjusting her medications, and stabilizing her condition.
But by Friday, July 16, Crystal's condition worsened. She expressed to her husband, Mike, and her children, Courtney, 25; Ashton, 18; and Caleb, 15, that her one regret was that she would not live to see Courtney's wedding ceremony on Aug. 28. Courtney and her fiancée, Nick Letterly, had planned to get married in 2020. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they rescheduled the wedding for August 2021.
When Courtney heard this, she suggested that they hold a wedding at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare. "I asked my dad to ask the staff about holding our wedding here," Courtney said. "When they said they would be more than happy to help us put this wedding together, I was so thankful that they were so willing to help us."
The care team quickly planned a wedding for that weekend on the patio of Crystal's inpatient pavilion room. The doors of the inpatient room open to a patio that overlooks a beautiful pond. While Courtney and Nick's Aug. 28 wedding will be held as planned, the care team arranged for Ohio's Hospice LifeCare Chaplain Darcy Miller to conduct a wedding ceremony for family only. The culinary staff prepared beverages. A staff member and volunteer cut flowers from the grounds of Ohio's Hospice LifeCare to decorate the patio, and an Ohio's Hospice LifeCare volunteer, Mary Rutter, arranged for decorations, balloons and cupcakes.
For the wedding ceremony at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare, Courtney wore the dress that she planned to wear later in August at her wedding reception. Courtney and her mother had a special moment before the ceremony, which allowed only her mother to see her wedding dress. The rest of her family will see her dress on her wedding day. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and her mother's illness, Courtney and Crystal were not able to go shopping for a wedding dress together.
On Sunday, July 18, immediate family and a few extended family members attended Courtney and Nick's wedding, including Crystal's twin sister and her family. Crystal walked from the great room through the lawn to the patio. The sun was shining brightly for the afternoon ceremony.
Courtney described the wedding ceremony on the patio of the patient room at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare as the most emotional and special moment she has ever had. "To see my mom's face light up with a smile as she shed a few tears was the main thing I remember from the entire event," Courtney said. "My mom was fighting so hard at the end to just stay awake to see us get married. I could not have asked for a better place or moment for my mom and me."
Her father agreed with her. "It was a beautiful day," Mike said. "The staff at Ohio's Hospice LifeCare did a wonderful job to make this special for our family. We couldn't have asked for a better setting."
As he reflected on the past year, he recalled that his wife's battle with cancer started when the family had been vacationing at Tybee Island, Georgia, in July 2020. "When we were down at Tybee Island over the Fourth of July last year on vacation, I noticed that something was wrong with Crystal," he said. "She would go to the beach, but she wouldn't go for walks. She was tired and she wore out quickly. She just wasn't being herself."
Mike and their children encouraged Crystal to see a doctor, but she didn't until August 2020 when she was forced to go to a local emergency room because of the pain. The doctors diagnosed Crystal with colorectal cancer. They sent her to University Hospitals. They tried radiation and chemotherapy. Then, they tried another round of chemotherapy.
Before she became ill, Crystal worked at Hartley's Auto Repair in Wooster, answering phones, ordering parts, scheduling work, and taking care of the billing. "She did pretty much everything but turn the wrench," Mike said.
When she wasn't working, she loved spending time with Mike, her three children, and her 1-year-old grandchild, Layla, who is Courtney and Nick's daughter. She enjoyed spending time with her dog, a bloodhound named Ruby. She also was passionate about her flower beds. "Crystal had beautiful flower beds," said Mike, who has been married to Crystal for almost 27 years. "I did the digging, and she did the planting and maintaining."
Mike and his family are grateful to Ohio's Hospice LifeCare for all the care team did to help them with the wedding ceremony and the care each day. Courtney praised the efforts as well. "They did an amazing job getting everything ready for our wedding. They helped my mom feel comfortable during the entire wedding," she said. "They are making this process a little easier. They do such amazing work for people at the end stages of life and their families."
She expressed her gratitude to the care team. "Thank you to everyone who put everything together for our wedding," Courtney said. "The last thing my mom told me before the ceremony was that she will remember and cherish this for the rest of her life and after. So will I, and so will my family."
Kurt Holmes, executive director of Ohio's Hospice LifeCare, explained that events like this show how the not-for-profit organization celebrates the lives of those it is privileged to serve. "Hospice care is about living and meeting quality-of-life goals. We understand that every patient and family is unique and has unique needs," Holmes said. "Our care team — doctors, nurses, personal care specialists, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers — works together to meet patient and family needs. We're grateful that we could help Crystal celebrate her daughter's wedding on the patio of her patient room."
Katherine Ritchie, development director, said Ohio's Hospice LifeCare is committed to providing superior care and superior services to each patient and family. "Our staff is exceptional. From incredible moments like a wedding to fulfilling smaller, but equally important everyday requests, we are Celebrating Life's Stories® and creating memories and moments for each and every patient and family," Ritchie said. "We are able to do this thanks to the philanthropic support of our community and staff who are nimble and truly can understand that every patient and family needs something different."

Neruda és una pel·lícula de 2016 dirigida per Pablo Larraín i escrita per Guillermo Calderón. Fou estrenada a la 69a edició del Festival de Cinema de Canes i seleccionada per Xile com l'aportació a la 89 edició dels premis Oscar a la categoria de millor pel·lícula de parla no anglesa però no fou nominada. En canvi, sí que fou seleccionada pels premis Globus d'Or de 2016, obtenint una nominació a la millor pel·lícula de parla no anglesa.

Argument
La pel·lícula se centra en la persecució política que el poeta i aleshores senador comunista Pablo Neruda va patir per haver criticat públicament al president Gabriel González Videla en un discurs fet al Congres Nacional el 1948. Neruda és víctima de la brutal repressió anticomunista de Videla i de la caça contra ell dirigida per Oscar Peluchonneau, el cap feixista de la Policía de Investigaciones de Xile.

(Producer, Engineer, Crazy Cousinz contributor and all-round creative). The brothers wasted no time at all and have been creatively involved in the UK underground urban scene since their arrival.
Stylo G, son of the Legendary "Poison Chang" has sustained in following his father's musical footsteps, and over the years Infusing his Jamaican heritage sound, plus inspiration from his father's music along with Ragga heroes such as Shabba Ranks and Supercat, Stylo has done nothing less than perfect his craft.
In early 2004, Stylo G released a track entitled "My Yout" which was the feature that broke young MCs Ice Kid & Sickman. The track was a favourite on radio/TV/online and with artists alike, and although he was surrounded by many Grime/Hip-hop acts but still remained true to his sound.
Stylo G has since been hard at work in the studio with artists such as Giggs, Chipmunk, Sneakbo, Gyptian to name just a few, working on a number of features and singles for his forthcoming releases.
Stylo G released underground smash "Call Mi a Yardie" late 2011, the track received plenty of support across all platforms; radio, TV and online.

Deseret Land and Livestock
Deseret and Wild Country Inc. has partnered and is in the process of partnering with a few groups (corporations/private businesses/families & friends) in a conservation partnership/environmental lease on the Deseret Ranch in Northern Utah. Deseret is a full time cattle ranch that is grazed and managed mindfully with the whole ecosystem in perspective. Their proven track record over many decades of rotational grazing has shown that cattle, wildlife, and habitat cannot only live in conjunction, but can thrive in conjunction.
Vast beyond imagination, farther than the eye can see, the Deseret Ranch stretches across rugged9000 foot pine cliffs, aspen meadows, and rolling prairie grasslands. In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the Deseret CWMU encompasses 227,000+ acres.
From a hunting perspective, the Deseret ranch is remarkable and one of a kind. The property supports tremendous densities and high quality big game. This is 100% fair chase big game hunting for Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn and Shiras Moose. Deseret and Wild Country manages the harvest age of bull elk and buck deer to maximize full trophy and age potential.
The icon of the American West, the mule deer, is slowly becoming a myth. Deseret has worked hard to maintain and increase the quality and quantity of the herd since the introduction of the lease program (2010). The ranch has been very successful with its management tactics and has achieved a very diverse age structure in the herd. The ranch maintains many mature trophy classbucks.
Rocky Mountain Elk
With numbers that will astonish, the elk herd on the Deseret ranch is nothing short of spectacular. With a 80 bull to 100 cow ratio, mature class bull elk are not hard to come by. The Deseret's bull elk hunt is unsurpassed by any elk hunt in the nation. High quality mature bulls can be seen and harvest whether hunting early season, mid-season, or late season (until November 20th).
Pronghorn grace the plains on Deseret's eastern grasslands. Often referred to as the "speed goat", the pronghorn is amazing to see on the hoof in the open prairie. With a large pronghorn population, this is very successful hunt. Whether hunting them in September during the rut or late in October when they group in the hundreds, this is a wonderful big game animal to have as part of Deseret's lease.
Shiras Moose
An impressive big game animal to see in the field, the Shiras moose, can stand 5-6.5 feet from hooves to shoulders. Most of our moose hunts are done in October when the leaves shed from the trees and a large number of moose can be seen. Many of our hunts produce 40 inch bull moose but can reach up to 45 inches. Obtaining a Shiras moose permit is very difficult these days; in the lease program we are allocated two-three moose vouchers each year.
High jumping, reel singing Rainbows abound in the utter magnificence of the Rocky Mountains. Deseret has nine beautiful lakes/ponds full of large rainbow trout. Our Rainbows are healthy, strong, and beautiful. These Rainbows will give you one of the hardest trout fights you can imagine. The ranch also has 13+ miles of pristine mountain streams that support wild Cutthroat Trout.
Upland Bird and Waterfowl
There is an abundance of uplands birds on the Deseret Ranch. Bag limits can be met daily on blue and ruffed grouse. The property supports a healthy population of migratory birds including Canadian Geese and wide variety of duck species.
The hunting and fly fishing is one of Deseret's greatest treasures, but there is much more to be enjoyed on this magnificent piece of land. Other recreational activities can include: hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, horseback riding, sight seeing, wildlife observing, arrowhead hunting, stand up paddle boarding/canoeing, and more.
The lodge on Deseret is a grand 12,000 square foot building equipped with all the amenities of a modern lodge, a beautiful fireplace, spectacular views, and a great camp cook. Each hunter gets his or her own room which is furnished with a queen bed/two twin beds and has its own private bathroom. During the fall hunting months, the lodge is used for all hunters, guests, and guides. The lodge is also a great place to spend in the spring or summer for corporate events, family reunions, business meetings, or a relaxing retreat.
As a conservation lease member, you hold a unique opportunity to experience all that Deseret has to offer. You will have the ability to entertain clients, business associates, employees, family members, and friends with all the activities mentioned above. Wild Country manages, in conjunction with Deseret's Natural Resource Manager, the operations of wildlife, habitat, buildings, lodging facilities, roads, packing trails, recreational areas, and more. As a conservation partner, you have the opportunity to participate along with Wild Country in the operations of the Deseret Lease (i.e. winter elk feeding, sage grouse counts, hiking trail improvements, habitat restoration/improvements, big game density counts/classification, just to name a few).
Wild, untamed, and timeless, the Deseret Ranch is truly remarkable. This lease program is a unique and rare opportunity to become a steward of one of the greatest western ranches. We invite you to leave your mark on a true American original, the Deseret Ranch.

HOLY TRINITY OF THE MOUNTAINS
SS. TRINITÀ DEI MONTI
Piazza Trinità dei Monti 3
The construction began in 1502 for the French king Louis XII (reigned 1498-1515) and it was consecrated in 1585 for Pope Sixtus V Peretti (1585/90)
1584 maybe by Giacomo Della Porta (1533/1602) but, more likely, by Annibale Lippi (active in Rome in the second half of the sixteenth century), son of Giovanni Lippi aka Nanni di Baccio Bigio, and Gregorio Caronica, collaborator of Giacomo Della Porta
1587 by Domenico Fontana (1543/1607) with ancient capitals and reliefs
Sixtus V wanted two side ramps, not a front ramp, so as not to hinder the Via Felice, which had just been opened
In 1798 the church was used as a stable by French revolutionary troops
In 1800 the vault collapsed
Restored 1816 by Carlo Francesco Mazois (1783/1826) for the French King Louis XVIII (he reigned in the years 1814/24)
French National Church granted to the French nuns of the Sacred Heart
INTERIOR modified in 1774
1st RIGHT - ALTOVITI CHAPEL
Above the altar "Baptism of Christ", on the sides "Stories of St. John the Baptist" about 1580 by G.B. Naldini (about 1537/91)
"All in all, in the art of this successor of Vasari there is certainly still alive a great expression of the old tradition. The accuracy and security of the drawing style of Naldini are still due mostly to his master, Pontormo" (Hermann Voss)
3rd RIGHT - DELLA ROVERE CHAPEL
Frescoes 1548/60 by Daniele da Volterra (1509/66) helped by Marco Pino aka Marco da Siena (about 1525/87), Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527/96), Giovanni Paolo Rossetti, Michele Alberti (active in the years 1535/82) and the Spanish Gaspar Becerra (1520/70):
In the center, above the altar "Assumption" with a portrait of Michelangelo staring at the viewer
On the right "Presentation in the Temple" by Daniele da Volterra
On the left "Massacre of the Innocents" by Michele Alberti
"To save space, Daniele da Volterra imagined the altar of the chapel as the tomb around which the apostles gathered, so that they, at the side of the altar, came to stand directly on the floor, it was an innovation that sparked a lot of discussion but on the whole failed, and rightly so. More important as a composition is the scene of the Massacre of the Innocents executed by Alberti, worthy of praise for the great spatial arrangement, which features the theme of the stairs, and the richness of the plastic patterns" (Hermann Voss)
4th RIGHT - ORSINI CHAPEL
Above the altar "Flagellation" 1817 by the French Louis Vincent Palliere (1787/1820)
Frescoes "Scenes of the Passion of Christ" by Paris Nogari (about 1536/1601)
On the walls "Gravestones of Cardinal Rodolfo Pio da Carpi and of Cecilia Orsini" 1567 by Leonardo Sormani (before 1530/after 1589)
6th CHAPEL ON THE RIGHT
Frescoes of the beginning of 1500s of Umbrian school, maybe by a follower of Perugino
OVAL CHAPEL
Altar on the right "St. Michael the Archangel" about 1758 by Domenico Corvi (1721/1803) from Viterbo
MAIN ALTAR
Designed in 1676 by Jean de Champagne
On the right "St. Louis receiving the royal crown" 1820 by Charles Theenin
In the center "Crucifixion" by Cesare Nebbia (1536/1614)
On the left seventeenth-century copy of the "Deposition" by Daniele da Volterra
CHAPEL TO THE LEFT OF THE MAIN ALTAR
Above the altar "Coronation of the Virgin Mary" by Federico Zuccari (about 1542/1609)
7th LEFT - PUCCI CHAPEL
"Stories of the Old and of the New Testament" 1520/27 by Pietro Bonaccorsi aka Perin del Vaga (1501/47)
"The main scene is a Visitation rich of figures and architectural elements. It later became the visual model for numerous religious ceremonies" (Hermann Voss)
The cycle was completed in the years 1563/66 by Taddeo Zuccari (1529/66) and, after his death in 1566 by his younger brother Federico Zuccari
6th CHAPEL ON THE LEFT
On the right "The Wise Virgins and the Foolish Virgins" and on the left "The Prodigal Son" by Alexander Maximilian Seitz (1811/88), a pupil of Friedrich Overbeck and father of Ludovico Seitz
5th LEFT - MASSIMO CHAPEL
"Eternal Lord with the dead Christ", "Assumption, Augustus and the Sibyl" began in 1537 by Pietro Bonaccorsi aka Perin del Vaga in collaboration with Daniele da Volterra (1509/66)
Completed in the years 1563/89 Federico Zuccari and Taddeo Zuccari. Little remains of the original decoraion
4th LEFT - CARDELLI CHAPEL
Above the altar "St. Joseph with the Child Jesus" about 1840 by Lucien Theophile Langlois (1803/45)
3rd LEFT - ORSINI CHAPEL
Above the altar "Immaculate Conception" 1830 by Philipp Veit (1793/1877) the best colorist among the Nazarene painters
On the right "Annunciation" and on the left "Visitation" by Joseph Ernst Tunner (1792/1877) another Nazarene painter, a pupil of Philipp Veit
2nd CHAPEL ON THE LEFT
Above the altar "Deposition" 1541/45 by Daniele da Volterra (1509/66) commissioned by Elena Orsini. It was originally located in the Orsini Chapel
"It still shows the influence of Perin del Vaga in the restless and moved arrangement of the drapes; but what for the latter was resolved in a sophisticated formal elegance, it does translates here into a more tense and dramatic vision. The work is one of the most representative of the second phase of the Mannerist style not only for stylistic originality due to the animated monumentality and to the accurate breakdown of the levels, but also for the personal reading of the cultural components that converge in here: from the lesson of the Tuscan artists of the previous generation, like Rosso Fiorentino, to the formal and philosophical torment of the last period of Michelangelo's life" (Carlo Bertelli, Giuliano Briganti, Antonio Giuliano)
Other frescoes 1571/77 by Paolo Céspedes and Cesare Arbasia
1st LEFT - CHAPEL OF THE CRUCIFIXION
Granted in 1574 to Marcantonio Borghese whose children commissioned "Stories of Passion" 1589/90 by Cesare Nebbia (1536/1614)
The "Crucifixion" was moved behind the altar and now there is a plaster cast of the destroyed "Pietà" of the Cathedral of Munster by Wilhelm Theodor Achtermann (1799/1844)
VESTIBULE OF THE SACRISTY
"Coronation of the Virgin Mary", "Annunciation" and "Visitation" by Taddeo Zuccari (1529/66)
"Taddeo Zuccari died thirty-seven year old and at the peak of his success. If one would take a look at the work of his whole life, it looms very clearly the image of a new generation that is no longer content to latch on to the school of Raphael or Michelangelo, a generation aspiring to a kind of art that would like to blend the best of both artists, pictorially fused together with the echo of a third one: Correggio" (Hermann Voss)
"Meridian" 1687 designed by the French Emanuel Maignan (1601/76) to figure out the time of the major cities in the world when it was noon in Rome
Maignan also painted the amazing "Anamorphosis" with landscape and St. Francis of Paola hermit in Calabria
Another anamorphosis by his pupil Jean François Niceron has been lost
Lunettes painted with "Stories of St. Francis of Paola" by:
Giuseppe Cesari aka Cavalier d'Arpino (1568/1640), Paris Nogari (about 1536/1601), Cristoforo Roncalli aka Pomarancio (1552/1626), Girolamo Massei (?/1614-19), Giacomo Semanza (1580/1638) and Marco Marchetti aka Marco da Faenza (about 1526/88)
"Portraits of the Kings of France" 1616 by Avanzino Nucci (1552/1629) and others
REFECTORY
La plus belle salle à manger qu'il eut dans Rome (the most beautiful dining room to be found in Rome) with quadrature architecture representing "Stories of the Order of the Minims" 1694 by Andrea Pozzo (1642/1709)
HERMITAGE ROOM
Small room known as "Room of ruins" painted like the interior of an ancient temple in ruins in 1760 by Charles Louis Clérisseau (1721/1820)

    $data[]['username'] = $array['username'];
    $data[]['avatar'] = DOMAIN.TUBES.UPLOADS.AVATAR.resizer($array['avatar'],'50','');
}
$data = array(
'query'=>$query,
'user_info'=>$data
);

echo json_encode($data);

Js/ajax/json
success: function(data){

$.each(data.user_info, function(index,value) {
    alert(value.username);
  });

}

now what I'm trying to get is the username of the sub array of user_info individually.
also if there's another way to rewrite the php code because I feel I'm doing something wrong.
please help on this guys, I'm depending on you. or I will have to go back to html instead of json data :(

A: i would change
{"username":"HannaShissler"},{"avatar":"\/\/en.wetube.org\/tubes\/uploads\/avatar\/no_avatar.png-50"}

to
{"username":"HannaShissler","avatar":"\/\/en.wetube.org\/tubes\/uploads\/avatar\/no_avatar.png-50"}

(one object per user rather putting avatar and username in different objects)
the code to do that would be
$search_sql = $db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username like '%$query%' order by id DESC LIMIT 5");
$data = array();
while($array = $db->fetch_assoc($search_sql)){
    $data[]=array(
        'username' => $array['username'];
        'avatar' => DOMAIN.TUBES.UPLOADS.AVATAR.resizer($array['avatar'],'50','')
    );
}
$data = array(
'query'=>$query,
'user_info'=>$data
);

echo json_encode($data);

Q: XCode Editor, Debugger, Build results all in one IDE I remember seeing it from the release notes of an earlier XCode version saying that it allows the three all in one IDE since then, instead of having to switch back and forth between the different windows when working on build, debug and editing. But with the latest XCode install, I still have to do that in separate windows. Is there a special setting to merge them all together under one IDE/window?

A: It's in XCode preferences, called "All in one" layout. Check this:

An East Tennessee's cable-media leader is set to appear on TV Tuesday in a documentary highlighting his career.
East Tennessee PBS will run the documentary, "Television Pioneer: The Story of Ross K. Bagwell, Sr.," on Sept. 4. The documentary's television premiere follows a showing at the 2017 Knoxville film festival and a showing in Nashville during its May film festival.
Bagwell began his career as a production assistant on "Howdy Doody." He also worked with NBC on a variety of game shows before returning to Knoxville in 1963.
Bagwell's career in entertainment took off when he brought cable TV with him on his return to East Tennessee. His first show, titled "I-40 Paradise," was the first cable sitcom to appear on TV. It was also the first show to be shot in one day, while other sitcoms took around a week to film.
VOLS SEASON SALE:$1 for 3 months unlimited digital. Special introductory offer for new subscribers only!
Following the success of his sitcom, Bagwell became a pioneer of the lifestyle genre by creating shows centered around DIY projects, including renovating homes. His company, Cinetel Productions, became the largest production company in the U.S. in 1993 after securing contracts to produce over 3,500 cable shows.
The shows established an early brand for HGTV and other networks, which were then sold to the Scripps Howard Company. Those brands were then sold to Discovery Communications. With each new hand-off, they carried over Bagwell's original DIY formula with them.
"He had impact because he kind of developed what has become popular in these how-to shows," said Kristen Dye, a producer of the documentary. "He's one of many cable pioneers, period. Not just regionally."
After establishing early brands, Bagwell invested heavily in regional media production. For example, to streamline the production process, Bagwell purchased an editing suite in Knoxville for $1 million. Prior to this, footage was sent to Florida for editing. He also founded multiple advertising and media production companies in the area, and earned the Knoxville Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. He also served on The Chancellor's Associates of the University of Tennessee and on the board of advisers for the Clarence Brown Theatre.
"Anyone who works in this industry should say thanks to the Bagwell family," Dye said. "You're talking about massive investments."
The documentary includes interviews from 28 people, including Ken Lowe, who is the CEO of Scripps Networks Interactive, and Stephen Land, who is the CEO of Jupiter Entertainment, a local production company. The documentary also uses footage from Bagwell, including shots of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville.
It was created by RIVR Media, a company that Bagwell helped build. It was originally two separate companies before it was given to his daughter, Dee Bagwell Haslam, who is now its executive producer. She was also interviewed in the film.
Audiences will be able to view it Sept. 4 at 8 p.m. Eastern on PBS.

Your pre-purchased match ticket entitles you to travel FREE, to and from the match at Suncorp Stadium, on the Queensland Rail City Network and Brisbane Transport Bus services.
Simply present your game day ticket to rail and bus staff as you board their services.
This FREE travel offer applies from 4 hours prior to the main game kick-off and 4 hours after the game ends.
Click here to view the Suncorp Stadium transport points.
Unfortunately, some patrons miss kick-off because they leave it too late to arrive at Suncorp Stadium.
In addition to regular scheduled services, there are special bus and rail services to the stadium on event days, in the two hour period before the main game kick-off.
But if the majority of patrons leave it to the last minute, it can place undue pressure on the transport system, which can lead to delays in travel times.
Patrons are encouraged to plan their travel arrangements and allow plenty of time to get from home to the venue and settled in. There is always a curtain-raiser game and plenty to keep everyone entertained before kick-off.

Saw the film, found it enjoyable - score sucked, no emotion and some of it sounded like elfman's batman theme played slower on strings.
> sounded like elfman's batman theme played slower on strings.
No emotion? What about Nampan Plateau, The End is Only The Beginning, Great Kid, the first minute of Open The Gates!? Those are very emotional tracks. And Leaving Las Vegas, We're Taking The Bentley, Ashes in D.C., Ready To Rumble, and the L.A. earthquake unrealised music are some very good action-like cues. Maybe very Zimmeresque but very enjoyable.
I don't know about the main theme sounding like Elfman's theme of Batman, but I like it. Especially his use in the last minute of The End Is Only The Beginning.

I have achieved some great things in my music career; especially considering that I have never been able to put my full-on effort into it!
I was the famed "Wired Frog"'s undefeated battle rap champion in 1999. I was one of the Detroit representatives in "313 vs. 216". I battled my way into the second installment of that series of DVD's, as well. (Picked up by Def Jam). I also won a statewide battle in 2003 on 97.1 FM. (8 week battle). I have done more on the battle scene, as well but; I try to stray away from that now...my focus is on writing songs that will stand the test of time!
I was influenced heavily by classic rock and blues. I grew up in a musical environment...and then, in the streets. I am also an accomplished and published writer, as well.
My official debut album, "The Franchise" was released in 2006 and sold over 5,000 units, independently. My single "Hush" got radio play in several markets. I have also had mixtape tracks played on XM66 and more.
My newest project that is available is linked to on this page...it is a mixtape called "The Greatest Beats of All Time". I challenged myself on this one...took some of hip hop's greatest beats ever and rocked em...as well as dissing Lil Wayne's punk ass. lol.

It is an international overview, where innovative urban solutions join truly challenging projects, sometimes in inaccessible, exotic or fascinating places, where architecture is in constant relationship with the surrounding landscape and nature.

Activists v. Poland. European Court of Human Rights hearing on uncontrolled surveillance
On 27 September the hearing was held at the European Court of Human Rights, following the application against Poland lodged by activists from Poland's Panoptykon Foundation and Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, joined by a human rights attorney. The group alleges that the state violated their right to privacy by allowing the intelligence agencies to act beyond scrutiny. Their case has been supported by the United Nations special rapporteur, Polish Ombudsman and the European Criminal Bar Association, attending the Strasbourg hearing as well.

Who will not be blocked by Facebook? SIN wins the first court battle
The District Court in Warsaw (Appellate Division) upheld its interim measures ruling from 2019 in which it temporarily prohibited Facebook from removing fan pages, run by the Polish NGO "SIN", on Facebook and Instagram, as well as from blocking individual posts. This means that – until the case is decided – SIN's activists may carry out their drugs-related education on the platform without concerns that they will suddenly lose the possibility to communicate with their audience. The decision is now final. What does it mean on the broader scale?
SIN challenges private censorship on online platforms
The SIN's (Społeczna Inicjatywa Narkopolityki) case against Facebook, concerning non-transparent and arbitrary removal of drugs-related education content from the organisation's accounts on Facebook and Instagram in 2018 and 2019, has been going on for over 2 years. The lawsuit against Facebook for the infringement of personal rights was filed in May 2019. SIN argued that the blocking of their content unjustifiably restricted the organisation to disseminate information, express their opinion and communicate with their audience. Concerned about further censorship, SIN was not able to freely carry out their educational activities. Moreover, the act of content removal suggested that the organisation's activity on the platforms was harmful, thus undermining SIN's credibility.
Already in June 2019, the District Court in Warsaw issued the first interim measures decision, in which – apart from prohibiting the removal of the existing SIN's pages for the duration of the trial – it furthermore obliged Facebook to store the organisation's profiles, fan pages and groups that had been blocked in 2018 and 2019. So, if SIN wins the case eventually, they could be restored along with the entire published content, comments by other users, as well as their followers and people who liked their fan pages. There is more good news. Not only did the Court decide that SIN had sufficiently substantiated their claims to grant the interim measure, but it also confirmed that Polish users could enforce their rights against the tech giant before the Polish law and based on the domestic law. The latter is essential for ensuring the actual possibility to enforce one's rights in cases against global internet companies.
Facebook appealed against this decision. The company questioned both the merits of the interim measures ruling and the jurisdiction of the Polish court. Its arguments did not convince however the court's Appellate Division which quashed Facebook's appeal and fully upheld the original decision. Now, this decision is final and binding for Facebook. Even though the interim measures ruling does not prejudge the final outcome of the case (which is still ongoing), it is an important first step towards holding the social media company accountable for excessive and opaque content removal practices. Moreover, SIN will be now able to catch their breath and continue their social media activity without worrying that they may be blocked again.
Towards curbing platforms' power
Private censorship is one of the modern-day threats to freedom of speech. Getting blocked on platforms such as Facebook or Instagram, which have become 'gatekeepers' to online expression and for which, just as in SIN's case, there's no viable alternative, in reality, equals to significant limitation in disseminating information. Tech giants fully unveiled their power over what we can see online in January this year when they blocked Donald Trump's accounts on the most popular social media platforms. But private censorship affects not only controversial politicians. While some of them have "earned" such a ban by posting content exceeding freedom of expression limits, arbitrary removals by dominant online platforms may also hinder the work of civil society organizations, artists or journalists who increasingly use them in their professional activities. The SIN vs Facebook case shows that private censorship imposed by big tech companies can affect anyone, often without explaining the reasons and the possibility of an effective appeal. Even if it is a result of a human or algorithm mistake, it is often very difficult to undo it.
Will the EU save us?
Politicians are becoming more aware of the problem of arbitrary platforms' power. The Digital Services Act (DSA), which is currently being discussed in the European Parliament, aims to regulate, inter alia, the new rules for content moderation on platforms, as well as create mechanisms ensuring greater transparency of their decisions and the right to challenge them . The strategic goal of the case, brought against Facebook by SIN, is to contribute to regulations that in the future will make it easier for users to claim their rights in the event of unjustified content removal. The DSA is the EU's chance to ensure strong human rights safeguards in the process of content moderation. Panoptykon Foundation, takes part in the legislative work, joining the EDRi network's discussions and advocacy efforts and submitting its proposals for amendments. One of our main goals is to convince EU decision-makers to adopt solutions protecting the freedom of speech online.
Will we have in Poland a "Freedom of Speech Council" instead of independent courts?
The Polish government also had the idea to break the power of internet giants. Unfortunately, the "Freedom of Speech Act", published by the Minister of Justice this January, guaranteed "freedom" in name only. While independence is a key element of the effective oversight of the platform's moderation decisions, the proposed Freedom of Speech Council (a body before which users could challenge the removals) did not enjoy any state of independence. Whatever we do to limit the current platforms' power, we have to make sure it is not simply replaced with political control.
SIN is represented pro bono by Wardyński & Partners law firm.

Margaret Layton
Portrait of Margaret Layton (c. 1590-1641), presumably by Marcus Gheeraerts. Copyright Victoria and Albert Museum, London, acc. no. E.214.1994.
Margaret Browne (Brown, Brawne; c. 1590-1641) was the daughter of a wealthy London merchant and the wife of Francis Layton (1577-1661) of West Layton and Rawdon (W. Yorkshire, England). Her portrait, probably by the Belgian artist, Marcus Gheeraerts (the Younger; 1561-1636) and painted in about 1620, together with the embroidered jacket actually worn by the sitter, are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Margaret Layton is shown wearing a high-waisted skirt, a red silk petticoat and a semi transparent apron decorated with whitework embroidery of some form. She is also wearing an open sleeved gown with hanging sleeves and a falling ruff made from Italian needle lace with matching sleeve ruffs.
Of particular note, however, is her jacket. Because the original jacket has survived, it is known that it is made from off-white linen, lined with pink silk taffeta and embroidered in coloured silks, silver and silver-gilt threads and further decorated with spangles. The latter are used to form a curvilinear pattern that helps to enclose a series of embroidered animals, flowers, fruits, insects and plants.
This type of embroidered jacket was fashionable between about 1600 and 1620. The same form of embroidery can also be seen on her plumed cap that is edged with lace.

The Chancellor's Plan for Jobs will help Britain bounce back
Jul 8, 2020 | News
The Chancellor Rishi Sunak today set out a 'Plan for Jobs' that will spur the UK's recovery from the Coronavirus outbreak.
Delivering his Summer Economic Update in Parliament, the Chancellor announced a package of measures to support jobs in every part of the country, give businesses the confidence to retain and hire, and provide people with the tools they need to get better jobs.
The plan for jobs is the second part of a three-phase plan to secure the UK's economic recovery from coronavirus. Throughout the pandemic, the UK Government has acted with speed to protect lives and safeguard jobs.
The first stage was a £160 billion support package, which included £49 billion of extra funding for the country's vital public services including the NHS, paying the wages of nearly 12 million people and supporting over a million businesses through grants, loans and rates cuts.
As the UK enters the second phase in its recovery, the Chancellor's plan is designed to support jobs by focussing on skills and young people, create jobs with investment in shovel-ready projects and greening our infrastructure, and protect jobs through a VAT cut for the hospitality sector and a landmark Eat Out to Help Out discount scheme for diners.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said:
Throughout this crisis I have never been the prisoner of ideology. For me, this has never just been a question of economics, but of values.
We believe in the nobility of work. We believe in the inspiring power of opportunity. We believe in the British people's fortitude and endurance.
Our plan has a clear goal: to protect, support and create jobs. It will give businesses the confidence to retain and hire. To create jobs in every part of our country. To give young people a better start. To give people everywhere the opportunity of a fresh start.
The Chancellor said that following this second phase focusing on jobs, there will be a third phase focusing on rebuilding, with a Budget and Spending Review in the autumn.
Supporting jobs
As part of the plan to support jobs, a Job Retention Bonus will be introduced to help firms keep furloughed workers. UK Employers will receive a one-off bonus of £1,000 for each furloughed employee who is still employed as of 31 January 2021.
A new £2 billion Kickstart Scheme will also be launched to create hundreds of thousands of new, fully subsidised jobs for young people across the country. Those aged 16-24, claiming Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment, will be eligible. Funding available for each six-month job placement will cover 100% of the National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week – and employers will be able to top this wage up.
A total of £1.6 billion will be invested in scaling up employment support schemes, training and apprenticeships to help people looking for a job. Young people, who are amongst the worst hit by the crisis, will benefit from this. This includes:
Businesses will be given £2,000 for each new apprentice they hire under the age of 25. This is in addition to the existing £1,000 payment the Government already provides for new 16-18-year-old apprentices and those aged under 25 with an Education, Health and Care Plan.
A £111 million investment to triple the scale of traineeships in 2020-21 ensuring more young people have access to high quality training.
£17 million of funding to triple the number of sector-based work academy placements in 2020-21
Nearly £900 million to double the number of work coaches to 27,000;
Over a quarter of a million more young people to benefit from an extra £32 million investment in the National Careers Service.
Creating jobs
The plan will also create tens of thousands of jobs through bringing forward work on £8.8 billion of new infrastructure, decarbonisation and maintenance projects.
This includes a £3 billion green investment package that could help support around 140,000 green jobs and upgrade buildings and reduce emissions.
As part of this package homeowners and landlords in England will be able to apply for vouchers from a £2 billion Green Homes Grant scheme this year to pay for green improvements such as loft, wall and floor insulation that could save some households hundreds of pounds a year on their energy bills while creating thousands of jobs for tradespeople.
And a £1 billion programme will make public buildings, including schools and hospitals, greener, helping the country meet its ambitions of achieving Net Zero by 2050, whilst investing in our future prosperity.
In addition, £5.8 billion will be spent on shovel-ready construction projects to get Britain building. This includes:
£1.5 billion for hospital maintenance and upgrades
£100 million for our local roads network
over £1 billion to start to rebuild schools in the worst condition in England, plus £760 million this year for key maintenance work on schools and FE colleges
£1 billion for local projects to boost local economic recovery in the places that need it most
£142 million for court maintenance to repair around 100 courts across England.
Protecting jobs
The plan will also protect jobs. The tourism and hospitality sectors are massive employers in the UK and have been severely impacted by the pandemic due to necessary closures to protect public health. 80% of hospitality firms stopped trading in April and 1.4 million hospitality workers have been furloughed – the highest proportions of any sector.
Ensuring there is enough demand as businesses reopen is key to helping these businesses recover and have the confidence to protect jobs and rehire. Therefore, to encourage people to safely return to eating out at restaurants the Government's new Eat Out to Help Out discount scheme will provide a 50% reduction for sit-down meals in cafes, restaurants and pubs across the UK from Monday to Wednesday every week throughout August 2020.
The rate of VAT applied on most tourism and hospitality-related activities will also be cut from 20% to 5%. This will save households around £160 per year on average and, together with the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme, will support over 2.4 million staff at over 150,000 businesses, helping them recover and reopen after the Covid-19 lockdown. This will give these businesses the confidence to maintain their staff, as more people get through the door and business activity kick-starts again.
We want people to feel confident to move, to buy, to sell, to renovate, and to improve their homes. So we're introducing a temporary increase to the Nil Rate Band of Residential SDLT (Stamp Duty) from £125,000 to £500,000 until 31 March 2021. In England and Northern Ireland nearly 9 out of 10 people getting on or moving up the property ladder will pay no Stamp Duty at all. This will drive growth and support jobs across the housebuilding and property sectors.

Kyle Busch's Wife, Samantha Busch, Aims To Break Stigma Surrounding Infertility Community: 'I Share The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' In New Book
It's been a rough road for Kyle and Samantha Busch. A journey filled with pain, loss, and grieving. But, it's also filled with faith, hope, and honesty.
A post shared by Samantha Busch (@samanthabusch)

All that is now wrapped up into a book as Samantha recently announced her book, "Fighting Infertility" is available for pre-ordering.
According to People, Samantha has tattoos of two crosses on her right hand ring finger, symbolizing "the two girls they lost after a miscarriage in November 2018 and a failed cycle with a second girl embryo in November 2019".
People also reports that "Samantha and Kyle say they are now looking at various options with the confidence that comes in knowing that their marriage is now on solid ground, thanks to a much-needed mix of therapy and renewed faith in God."
They are holding on to hope. Along with hoping to help and encourage others going through something similar.
A post shared by Kyle Busch (@rowdybusch)
"'Fighting Infertility' is a rally cry, an opportunity to feel understood, gain strength in the struggle and will ignite your inner warrior," Samantha Busch said in an Instagram post. "By sharing the raw and candid details of our journey, I aim to break the silence and stigma that surround the infertility community. I share the good, the bad and the ugly in an honest and relatable account where faith, family, love and loss intersect."
Samantha Busch said she hopes the book "helps other women feel validated and less alone while aiding them in grieving, processing, and healing from the challenges they face on this arduous journey. 👏🏻"
Samantha Busch also wants you to know, if you're going through the struggle and pain of infertility, that she's always here for you.
"With this book and on social media, I am always here for you no matter where you are on your infertility journey," Samantha said. "As a sisterhood, we are stronger, and together we are fighters!👯♀💪🏼"
The Busch's really are advocates for this cause as they also have "The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund". According to its website, the cause "is dedicated to advocating for infertility education and awareness and removing financial barriers by granting monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to have their own bundle of joy".
So far, the fund's site says 70 grants have been awarded, $940,000 in funds have been granted, 34 babies have been born, and six more babies are on the way.

An HVAC system accumulates debris over time and has the potential to put large amounts of dust and particulates into circulation around your building.
Indoor air quality is one concern that building managers and building inhabitants have when they decide to investigate HVAC system. Through normal occupation in a building, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.
While a contaminated HVAC system doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy air, the situation may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling is wasted.
When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire.
HVAC system cleaning is not a complex process, but each job is unique. Where possible, access to duct interiors should be made through existing openings such as supply diffusers, return grills, duct end caps, and existing service openings. The technicians may need to cut access holes in the ductwork in order to reach inside various cleaning tools. Creation of these service openings and their subsequent closure requires craftsmanship and professional skills.
Removal begins through agitation of contaminants achieved through hand brushing or contact vacuuming. During cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative pressure (with a vacuum) to prevent the spread of and extract the contaminants.
Continuous negative pressure allows very fine particles to be removed from the system as they become airborne, ensuring that these particles are not released into the living space when the system is turned on after cleaning. This negative pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and removed from your home.
Antimicrobial chemicals include sanitizers, disinfectants, and deodorizers that can be applied to non-porous surfaces in HVAC systems to address microbial contamination and help control odors.
Only chemicals registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can be used. These products should only be considered after mechanical surface cleaning has been performed and if the need for such treatment has been deemed necessary.

The Subversive Archaeologist
Providing a much-needed check on mythopoeic archaeological inference, but also on occasion commenting on the important discoveries of the day. Every effort is made to keep the invective to a dull roar. Best plug your ears!
Australia's GOA 2012: Science and Archaeology
I can't resist commenting on the multiple and ramified ironies that struck me the moment I saw today's announcement of the Australian Archaeological Association's (AAA) Call for Sessions for the 9-13 December 2012 annual conference at the University of Wollongong. Each year the AAA meetings focus on a theme. This year's is Science & Archaeology. That theme intersects my life and circumstances in so many ways I feel a little like one of those 'lovely assistants' at the magic show who steps into a box and the magician shoves swords through the box from every angle. The good news is that the 'assistant' is never harmed. Lucky for me! But I still feel the pinch of the swords, because the greatest irony is that I won't be there. And I should be.
Science & Archaeology. Where should I start? Why not start at the beginning. I call myself a scientist. Yet, I chose to be a student of archaeology. And, as anybody knows, most of the world's so-called hard scientists laugh at the notion that archaeology could be anything but speculative fluff. They're wrong, of course. Nonetheless, as an archaeology undergraduate I was made aware of the wrenching efforts to 'scientize' archaeology. I was weaned on Binford, who, regardless of how you view him, was perhaps the greatest champion of a scientific archaeology.
More than a little ironic, if you're talking about science, archaeology, and me, is that as a grad student at Berkeley, I was introduced to a philosophy of science that discredited Binford's (and Hempel's) positivism at the same time as it replaced the logical empiricist formulation of science with one that more closely resembles the way science is actually done. It's called Scientific Realism. And it has staked a very real claim as the pre-eminent philosophy of science for the 21st century.
Perhaps some day I'll bore you with a more extensive treatment of the clash of the two philosophies of science. For now, just know that in my 'Berkeley' period I had my faith in the scientific project validated and reinvigorated at the same time as I learned how profoundly mistaken was the so-called radical critique of science that is commonly associated with post-modernism.
With that history behind me, and knowing as you do that 2012 has meant a rebirth, of sorts, for me and for my commitment to science and archaeology, you can imagine how ironic it is that my one time national organization is holding a conference later this year on the subject of science and archaeology. It's true. I'm a lapsed member of the AAA. Six months after arriving in Australia I was at my first 'triple A' meeting, Adelaide '96. There, I found more irony. I was surprised and pleased to discover that my Ph.D. supervisor and mentor, Meg Conkey, had been invited to be the keynote speaker. It was like a homecoming, and more than a little comforting for me, the newest foreign transplant in the Australian academic community. I also re-connected with Jo Kaminga, who rarely attended the AAA, and whom I'd met in the field in B.C. while working with Brian Hayden, an old friend of Jo's, and who had been my 'patron' at Simon Fraser while I was a graduate student. Fairly ironic, I'd say. At that meeting my university was tapped to organize the '97 meeting, and as the new kid I was eventually asked to team with Wendy Beck to organize it.
The '97 meetings were held at the Boambee Bay Resort, at Toormina, near Coff's Harbour, on the east coast. I came to realize that the highway running up and down the Pacific Coast of Australia is designated Highway 1. And they call it the Pacific Highway. Those of you familiar with California's road system will immediately recognize the identity of the two roads, an ocean apart. I had lived in California for almost a decade before I emigrated to Australia. More irony.
All up, I attended three triple As while in Australia. In 1998 it was held at Valla, an inexpensive resort on the east coast. It had been the site of a legendary meeting a decade or so earlier at which the, then, much younger and friskier Australian archaeological community had debauched for three days and three nights. Iain Davidson puts it this way: 'Indiscretion was the better part of Valla.'
Truly, I've led an 'interesting' life. That, in itself, is an irony, because much of the time I feel as if I'm cut off from the very people I want nothing more in the world than to be with, and to be accepted, and to feel as if I belong. There, I belonged. There I should be.
Perhaps the biggest irony of all is my many-layered relationship with science and its use and abuse in archaeology. For example, anyone who reads the Subversive Archaeologist will know that its ethos is exposing the misuse and abuse of 'science' in archaeology. Would you call it irony or simply coincidence that this blog has blossomed in the early part of 2012, and that the theme of 2012's AAA conference is Science & Archaeology?
More irony. You've heard me gnashing my teeth repeatedly over what I see as a systemic dating issue in the southern African MSA. When I looked to see the members of the AAA 2012 conference the first name on the list is that of Richard 'Bert' Roberts, who happens to be the geophysicist who presided over all those dates. If there is a 'systemic' problem with those dates, he's the nexus. No offense intended, Bert. Just ironic, is all.
Is there a point to all this, Rob? Now that you mention it, yes. It only just occurred to me. With only a small change in the time-stream I'd be attending. And it would be my 16th triple A. Wouldn't it be ironic if a few brave souls scattered across the globe were to get together and propose a session for the 2012 triple A, and it promised to be so amusing and so full of just the insights the conference organizers had dreamed of, and on that basis they decided it would be appropriate to pay to bring them all to Wollongong for the week? Wouldn't that be ironic? I happen to think it would be magic!
You should make plans to attend. You'll never regret it!

NO worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief
Woe, world-sorrow; on an age-old anvil wince and sing—
Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No ling-
ering! Let me be fell: force I must be brief'.
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all

My primary research interest is and always has been advancing knowledge of how hominids became human. Modern humans exploded out of Africa between about 40 and 50 kyr ago, and there is abundant evidence of recognizably human behaviour from at least that time in Africa, and across Europe, Asia and Australia. Signature modern human behaviour has not been documented unequivocally for the Neanderthals and their contemporaries, the skeletally modern members of the genus Homo (e.g. at Skhul Cave). Instead of recognizably modern implements and other hallmarks of modern human behaviour, in the Middle Palaeolithic we see lithic technology organized around flakes, obtained through bifacial reduction, some platform preparation, and retouch; no unequivocal use of bone other than as an analogue for stone; no evidence of space use that could be recognized as human; no unequivocal evidence of purposeful burial, no unequivocal representational imagery. Achievements include a BA in Archaeology (Simon Fraser University, 1987), "Grave Shortcomings: The Evidence for Neandertal Burial" (Current Anthropology, 1989), a Ph.D. in Anthropology (University of California at Berkeley, 1994), a lectureship in Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology at the University of New England, NSW, Australia, from 1996 to 1999, "Middle Palaeolithic Burial is Not a Dead Issue: The View from Qafzeh, Saint-Césaire, Kebara, Amud, and Dederiyeh" (Journal of Human Evolution, 1999), and, in aggregate, 27 months of field experience in southern central British Columbia (Salishan), Israel (Middle Palaeolithic), France (Mesolithic), Australia, California's Coast Range, its Central Valley and Great Basin desert regions.
