Tony Woodcock is Interim Dean of UNCSA School of Music
International music educator and social entrepreneur Tony Woodcock has been appointed Interim Dean of the School of Music at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Interim Provost Karin Peterson has announced. He will begin his duties Aug. 1, as current Music Dean Brian Cole transitions to his role as Interim Chancellor.
Woodcock was president of the New England Conservatory of Music for eight years, where his Entrepreneurial Musicianship and Sistema Fellowship initiatives were met with international acclaim. He has been CEO of orchestras on two continents and was general manager of the National Concert Hall of Wales and the City of London Sinfonietta.
As founder and president of Scolopax Arts, a cutting-edge consulting firm for higher education and the performing arts, his clients have included UNCSA School of Music, Yale School of Music, Thornton School of Music (USC), The Curtis Institute of Music, The Association of European Conservatoires and The Royal Northern College of Music.
He is visiting professor at two European universities – Berklee College of Music's Valencia campus and Reina Sofia School of Music in Madrid. He was recently awarded an honorary fellowship from his alma mater, Cardiff University in Wales.
"Tony Woodcock has assisted our School of Music to develop sound strategies for fundraising, recruitment and organizational effectiveness," said Peterson. "We are thrilled to tap into his expertise in leveraging our top-tier faculty, world-class facilities, and accomplished alumni to attract the very best faculty, guest artists and students," she added.
"I know the great work of the UNCSA School of Music well, having given two residencies there in recent years," Woodcock said. "I am thrilled to return to work with this great faculty as Interim Dean."
Earlier this month, UNC System Interim President Bill Roper named Cole to the position of Interim Chancellor after Lindsay Bierman announced he would leave UNCSA to become chief executive officer of UNC-TV Public Media North Carolina.

Q: Problems in specifying password with curl in ssl I am trying to connect to one of the organisation. I am using the following curl command:
curl --cert mycert.pfx --pass abcdef  -v https://<website-name>
I have this certificate lying in the directory I am executing the command from, and whenever I do this, I simply get
curl: (58) SSL: Incorrect password for the certificate "mycert.pfx" and its private key
However, when I open mycert.pfx using this,
keytool -list -keystore mycert.pfx -storepass abcdef -storetype PKCS12 -v
it works completely fine without any problems. I also have the tool keystore explorer and I have tried opening the certificate using the above password, and there too it works completely fine. I have also tried mentioning the PW mycert.pfx:abcdef like this. But this didn't work either.
Can anyone give me any idea as to where I might be going wrong?
Thanks!

ist ein satirisches Gesangsstück für vier Stimmen und Streichquartett- bzw. Klavierbegleitung des kanadischen Pianisten Glenn Gould und wurde als Schlussstück für die Fernsehsendung  komponiert, die am 4. März 1963 von der Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ausgestrahlt wurde.

Kontext
Das Werk steht im Kontext von Goulds intensiver Beschäftigung mit den Kompositionen Johann Sebastian Bachs, insbesondere mit dessen Spätwerk Die Kunst der Fuge, das Gould 1962 auszugsweise eingespielt hatte. Der Aufbau des Stückes ist einer ebensolchen Bach'schen Fuge nachempfunden; der Text indessen hat eben das Erschaffen einer Fuge zum Gegenstand ("). Sowohl der Text als auch die Musik thematisieren und parodieren gleichermaßen den Umgang mit Regeln und Kompositionstechniken aus der Fugengattung, aber auch das Verhältnis zwischen intellektueller Arbeit und künstlerischer Intuition im Schaffensprozess (""). Der Entschluss, endlich mit dem Komponieren der Fuge zu beginnen, fällt aber erst mit dem Schlussakkord (""). Das Stück enthält zahlreiche Zitate aus verschiedenen Werken Bachs – unter anderem die berühmte Tonfolge B-A-C-H und das Zweite Brandenburgische Konzert – aber auch ein nach Moll verändertes Zitat des Meistersinger-Vorspiels von Richard Wagner.

There are many benefits to spaying and neutering your pet! First and foremost, it's the best way to make sure your pet doesn't end up contributing to the unwanted pet overpopulation and keeping more animals out of the shelter. At Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, pets have a home until they find their forever family, no matter how long that takes. But many dogs and cats are not this lucky. Every year, there are millions of animals who are euthanized simply because there is not enough space in shelters to house them all. These are healthy, happy animals that could have been great pets, if they'd been given a chance. Spaying and neutering is the most effective solution when helping to control the pet population.
Spaying and neutering is also beneficial for your pet's health. They have a reduced risk for certain types of cancers and are less likely to become injured because of roaming, which leads to fights with other animals, getting hit by a vehicle or attacked by a wild animal. Altering your pet also helps curb undesirable behaviors, as well, such as spraying or marking and sterilized animals tend to be less aggressive.
Little Traverse Bay Humane Society offers a Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program that is not only affordable to pet owners, but make a huge impact on the local pet population by reducing the number of wanted litters in the area. For more information on our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program, go to www.ltbhs.com. To make an appointment to have your pet spayed or neutered, call 231-347-2396.

More About Istanbul
The World : Asia : Middle East : Turkey : Istanbul
Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

The Plagues were an American garage rock band from Lansing, Michigan who were active in the 1960s (not to be confused with other bands of the period named "the Plagues").  They were led by bass player, principal songwriter, and vocalist William Malone.  The group had a local and regional hit with "I've Been Through It Before".  Malone left the band in 1966 to join the Frightened Trees, as the remaining members formed a new group out of the ashes of the Plagues, the Plain Brown Wrapper.  Malone later became a successful Hollywood movie director, whose 2008 horror thriller Parasomnia included "I've Been Through It Before", as well as other songs by the Plagues and other 1960s garage bands.  In the intervening years the Plagues work has attracted a following amongst garage rock enthusiasts and collectors.

History

The Plagues were founded in 1964 in Lansing, Michigan.  Their primary vocalist and songwriter was William Malone.  Their original lineup consisted of Malone on lead vocals and bass, Van Decker on lead guitar, James Hosley on rhythm guitar, and Phil Nobach on drums.  The group's first single was released in 1965 on the Quarantined label, which was a vanity label of Fenton Records and it featured "That'll Never Do" b/w "Badlands".  Its follow-up, also on Quarantined, was "Through this World" b/w "Why Can't You Be True."  "Through This World" charted locally on WILS, then a popular AM pop station in Lansing.  The group's final release was "I've Been Through It Before" b/w "Tears From My Eyes", which appeared in July 1966.  The flipside, "Tears From My Eyes," was a ballad and reflected the band's Beatles influence.  According to Malone:
We were basically a Beatles band to start with.  We did all Beatles tunes. Then we started branching out. We also liked the Byrds and the Animals. It wasn't long after our first show at Everett High School that we played Waverly Junior High School — we nearly started a riot. It was like something out of 'Hard Day's Night.' We had a big local following; there were about 300 kids in our fan club.

The Plagues opened for the Young Rascals when they came to Lansing.  In 1966, Malone left the group and went on to front another Lansing-based garage band, the Frightened Trees, who recorded the "Round and Round" single, which included "I'll Be Back", a Beatles cover, on the flipside.  In the fall of 1966, after Malone's departure, Decker, Nobach, and Hosley formed a new band out of the remnants of the Plagues that, with the addition of Scott Durbin and Steve Allen, became the Plain Brown Wrapper.  That group played large shows in Detroit, sharing the bill with MC5 and Bob Seger. They recorded the single, "You'll Pay," in November 1966 and would subsequently undergo a series of lineup changes until their breakup in 1974.  By the end of the 1960s, the teen scene in Lansing faded as more sophisticated sounds emerged.  With the intention of joining the film industry (long a dream of his), William Malone moved to California and got a job at Don Post Studios.  He eventually became a successful film director of horror thrillers, such as  House on Haunted Hill, Scared to Death, Creature and FeardotCom.  His 2008 horror film Parasomnia included the Plagues "I've Been Through It Before" in its soundtrack, as well as other songs by them and other 1960s garage bands.

The Plagues work has attracted a following amongst garage rock enthusiasts and collectors.  Several of the Plagues songs such as "Through This World" and "I've Been Through It Before" and are featured on the compilation Scream Loud!!! The Fenton Story put out by Way Back Records.  "I've Been Through It Before" also appears on Teenage Shutdown! You Treated Me Bad!.

Dawn Aerospace Spaceplane Ready for Rocket Powered Flight Using Jet Engines
https://www.satnow.com/News/details/134-dawn-aerospace-spaceplane-ready-for-rocket-powered-flight-using-jet-engines
September 23, 2022 | Editorial Team
Dawn Aerospace has completed 48 flights over the last 13 months of their spaceplane technology demonstrator, the Mk-II Aurora, to complete Phase One testing of the vehicle using surrogate jet engines. Tests of the vehicle under rocket power are expected before the end of the year.
Phase One demonstrated all non-rocket systems on the spaceplane, such as low-speed aerodynamic performance, pilot controllability, reliability, and general airworthiness. The spaceplane was flown as fast as 200 knots (370 km/h) and as high as 9000 ft. altitude, although high speed and altitude were not primary goals.
"This test phase has shown that the basic design is extremely capable but, above all, safe. It was also a key step to show that the team is ready to take on the challenge of rocket-powered flight, "says CFO and Mk-II Chief Engineer James Powell.
In Phase Two of the test program, the Mk-II Aurora will be fitted with a rocket motor which will allow for flights to over 100 km altitude and 3500 km/h. If achieved, it would be the first vehicle ever to reach space twice in a day—"a Wright Brothers moment for reusable spaceflight," says Stefan Powell, CEO.
The Mk-II is intended to prove the core technology needed for a fully and rapidly reusable first-stage booster.
Once the Mk-II Aurora is proven under rocket power, a much larger Mk-III vehicle will be built, with the capability to deliver a 250 kg satellite into orbit using a second stage, released at high altitude.
"Rapid reusability is the key to cost-effective spaceflight," said Stefan Powell. "Operating under aviation law—with a vehicle that is an aircraft first and a rocket second—allows us to unlock the powers of fleet economics." We can replace an entire rocket factory with a few aircraft that operate daily.
Phase One test flights were conducted under aircraft certification, specifically the Civil Aviation Authority Part 102. As of September, all test goals were achieved, including a "pseudo-rocket powered flight" where the aircraft was flown at full thrust and a high-pitch angle to a moderate altitude before having the engines intentionally set to idle, mimicking the main engine cut-off. Thereafter, the aircraft was brought to land using only maneuvers and air brakes to control airspeed, similar to what will be done after re-entry from a high altitude.
Glide landings were repeated several times as part of the team's final flight training before the spaceplane is fitted with the rocket motor. In addition to substantial simulator testing, these tests served as confirmation that the team was ready for rocket-powered flight.
"As a clean sheet design, there were naturally many aspects that were unproven." "The combination of simulation and real testing is critical in achieving a safe and successful campaign," said James Powell.
Phase one also demonstrated key operational aspects of the spaceplane, including rapid reusability, up to four flights in a day, and flights under aviation law.
"We are on the path to revolutionizing how we access space." The ability to rapidly reuse a launch vehicle reduces costs by 90 percent. "It's the holy grail of affordable, frequent space flight," says James Powell.
The Mk-II rocket engine is a liquid propellant rocket motor developed by Dawn Aerospace. It uses non-cryogenic fuels like hydrogen peroxide and kerosene, which are storable in the aircraft without boiling off, unlike typical rocket fuels like liquid oxygen. The engine, which is in the final stages of qualification, is designed for rapid restarts without the replacement of igniters or other maintenance.
Test flights of the Mk-II under rocket power are anticipated before the end of the year.

Violence Spikes in Major Cities
By Eamonn Burke
Last month, 65 people were shot in New York City and 87 in Chicago over the course of the 4th of July weekend. Six children were killed that weekend as well. The holiday may have been a peak in homicides, but numbers of shootings and deaths have been trending upward as the nation handles a pandemic and a historic recession. The amount of shootings in NYC from January to July exceeded the total for the entire year of 2019. Other major cities are experiencing high rates of gun violence as well, such as Philadelphia, where more than 240 people have been killed this year and which now has the 2nd highest homicide rate in the nation. Chicago saw a violent July, with 584 shootings and 105 deaths. Even smaller cities like Pheonix and Omaha are seeing rises.
As a whole, homicides are up 24% in the nation since last year. Data shows homicides and shootings trending upward sharply since late May in major cities across the US. However, as a national study shows, gun violence was creeping upward even before the pandemic began.
President Trump blames the rise in violent crime to "radical" Democratic politicians , such as Major Bill DeBlasio, despite signs that this is a bipartisan issue. DeBlasio himself blames the shootings on the virus, among other factors such as the BLM protests and faults in the criminal justice system that have recently been exposed. The Council on Criminal Justice also concluded that the virus is the root issue, and that it must be stopped first in order to reduce homicides. A chart of homicides in Chicago does in fact show a major spike after the beginning of the protests, and the BLM protests in 2014 and 2015 had a similar effect on gun violence. However, further analysis of police data instead points to a decrease in gun-related arrests as a potential cause, as well as the increase in gun purchases in recent months.
Police say that many of these crimes are gang related, and a shortage of staff due to the virus have made it harder to crack down on crime. DeBlasio was adamant about getting back on top of the gun crisis through the courts: "Our courts not only need to reopen, they need to reopen as fully and as quickly as possible." Chief administrative judge Lawrence Marks fired back, saying the blame of courts was "false, misleading and irresponsible."
A strange finding amongst this gun crisis is that rates of other crimes such as burglaries have not followed the same trend, and have even decreased in some cases. As this is extremely odd, it's possible that it's a matter of what is getting reported given the complications of COVID-19 and the BLM protests on policing.

Federal Agents Move into Multiple US Cities
By Emmet McGeown
On June 29, 4-year old LeGend Taliferro was killed by gunfire in Kansas City, Missouri. He had fallen asleep inside his pillow fort and at around 2am he was murdered in a targeted shooting of his apartment, according to the Kansas City Police Department.
Having been diagnosed with a heart defect shortly after birth, LeGend received his first open-heart surgery at just 4 months old. His mother, Charron Powell, said that her only child "has the heart of a lion" and was always excited to create awareness for conditions similar to his.
As a result of this horrific murder and spiking crime rates in St. Louis Attorney General, William Barr, announced "Operation LeGend" on July 8. This Justice Department initiative has directed agents from the FBI, DEA, ATF, and US Marshals Service to supplement local law enforcement agencies with the aim of cracking down on illegal gun trafficking and aiding ongoing homicide investigations.
In total, 225 federal agents were sent to Kansas City to help the 400 federal agents already located in the metro area. US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Tim Garrison, announced on July 31 that 97 arrests have been made by federal and local law enforcement since the launch of Operation LeGend. Five arrests were made for homicide, but other offenses cited were drug trafficking, robbery, and child molestation.
However, this has not been the extent of federal intervention in US cities. In a Fox News phone interview, the President stated "We'll go into all of the cities, any of them. We're ready." Such a statement is emblematic of the President's desire to make federal policing a key part of his Nixonian "law and order" campaign strategy. Undoubtedly, he is hoping to appeal to suburban voters worried about crime spilling into their neighborhoods from urban centers. The President also claimed that he was prepared to dispatch "50,000, 60,000 people" into American cities.
Trump has presented increasing crime rates in cities as a partisan issue whereby Democrat-run cities are the most dangerous places in the country largely due to their leadership's political affiliation. Overall, out of the 50 largest cities in the US the homicide rate has increased by 25% in cities with Democratic mayors and by 15% in Republican-run cities revealing a decidedly bipartisan issue despite the President's best efforts.
Operation LeGend's coordinated law enforcement plan has now expanded into Chicago, Albuquerque, Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee. Reasons for this move include a 54% increase in homicides in Chicago from last year, a 7% increase in Detroit's violent crime compared to the previous year while each of Cleveland's 5 police districts are coping with an increase in shootings of around 20%.
Such statistics reveal a problem in many US cities, yet the question remains as to whether this problem can or should be solved through federal intervention or whether this, being a local issue, should be remedied via local resources.

Federal Officers in Portland
In the wake of George Floyd's death, cities around the country and the world erupted in protest. While in many cities protests have diminished or stopped, one city has shown crowds of protestors since Memorial Day: Portland, Oregon.
Rallies were shrinking here too, but were reinvigorated following repeated and excessive use of force by federal officers in the city. Video shows officers responding to one protest using non-lethal ammunition, gas, and fire. Secretary Chad Wolf of the Department of Homeland Security sided with the officers, calling the protestors "lawless anarchists." Trump and his administration have also given consistent support to the efforts of the officers.
Tensions first rose last Thursday night when protestors gathered around a local precinct shouting "Who do you protect? Who do you serve?", and police told them to leave after hearing rumors of a plot to burn down the building. The crowd, however, were equipped with homemade shields and flashlights. The crowds stayed however, leading to police discharging impact munitions and using smoke and tear gas to disband them.
The ongoing clash continued Tuesday when roughly 1,000 people filled Portland's center, with help from the recently dubbed "Wall of Moms." Hundreds of moms stood before the officers to provide protection for protestors. Their arms were linked as they chanted things like "Don't shoot your mother!"
"That really affected me the most, being a mom. I wanted to come down and give my support as a mother and a grandmother to all these people who have been out every night" said 55 year old mom Debbie Scott.
The "Wall or Moms" has recently spread beyond Portland into other major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, ready to defend Democratic-lead cities from Trumps' plan to deploy federal officers. Meanwhile, the violence continued in Portland on Tuesday when officers used more gas, non-lethal bullets and stun grenades as protestors gathered outside the courthouse.

Roger Guenvuer Virtual Discussion
Immediately following a free coordinated Netflix screening of his Bessie Award-winning solo performance RODNEY KING, Roger Guenveur Smith will engage in conversation with Sarah Bellamy, Artistic Director of St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre, where the play was produced in 2015, and Rohan Preston, lead theatre critic of the Minneapolis StarTribune.
Bellamy, Preston, and Smith will discuss theatre as an essential public service, and its historic and contemporary response to civic crisis. Smith has a longstanding alliance with Twin Cities institutions which also includes the Guthrie Theatre, the Walker Arts Center, Macalester College, and the Eastside Freedom Library.
Mr. Smith will address the impetus and continued influence of what Mr. Preston describes as a "mesmerizing" tour-de-force, directed for the screen by Mr. Smith's longtime colleague Spike Lee. Calling King "the first reality tv star," Smith recounts his savage videotaped beating by four LAPD officers in 1991, the murderous fracture of Los Angeles after the officers were found not guilty of assault charges in 1992, and King's tragic navigation of notoriety which ended in 2012, when he drowned in his backyard swimming pool.
In commemoration of Eric Garner, killed in custody of the NYPD in 2014, and in eerie premonition of George Floyd, killed in custody of the Minneapolis Police Department in 2020, Smith appends their final words to King's "Can We All Get Along" speech:

Preservation Organization Supports Monument Removal
Today, the National Trust for Historic Preservation announces a major change in its position regarding the preservation of Confederate Monuments in public spaces. A more than 70-year-old institution, which has had to evaluate whether to support saving some of these monuments over the course of its history, is announcing today that it believes the removal of Confederate monuments from public places is justified. The Trust released the following statement:
In recent weeks, protests throughout America and around the world have sprung up in support of racial justice and equity, sparked by the horrific killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others. The National Trust stands committed to support this fight for justice. We believe that Black Lives Matter, Black History Matters, and that historic preservation has a powerful role to play in telling the full story of our often-difficult history.
A critically important part of this work is elevating and preserving the enormous and important contributions that African Americans have made to our nation and carrying that profound legacy forward through places of truth, justice, and reconciliation.This nationwide call for racial justice and equity has brought renewed attention to the Confederate monuments in many of our communities.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has previously issued statements about the history and treatment of Confederate monuments, emphasizing that, although some were erected—like other monuments to war dead—for reasons of memorialization, most Confederate monuments were intended to serve as a celebration of Lost Cause mythology and to advance the ideas of white supremacy. Many of them still stand as symbols of those ideologies and sometimes serve as rallying points for bigotry and hate today. To many African Americans, they continue to serve as constant and painful reminders that racism is embedded in American society.
We believe it is past time for us, as a nation, to acknowledge that these symbols do not reflect, and are in fact abhorrent to, our values and to our foundational obligation to continue building a more perfect union that embodies equality and justice for all.
Although Confederate monuments are sometimes designated as historic, and while many were erected more than a century ago, the National Trust supports their removal from our public spaces when they continue to serve the purposes for which many were built—to glorify, promote, and reinforce white supremacy, overtly or implicitly. While some have suggested that removal may result in erasing history, we believe that removal may be necessary to achieve the greater good of ensuring racial justice and equality. And their history needs not end with their removal: we support relocation of these monuments to museums or other places where they may be preserved so that their history as elements of Jim Crow and racial injustice can be recognized and interpreted.
We believe that communities have an obligation to take on this issue forthrightly and inclusively. We recognize that not all monuments are the same, and a number of communities have carefully and methodically determined that some monuments should be removed and others retained but contextualized with educational markers or other monuments designed to counter the false narrative and racist ideology that they represent, providing a deeper understanding of their message and their purpose.
We also recognize that some state legislatures have prohibited removal of such monuments, disallowing the rights of local communities wishing to remove these offensive symbols. Until such state laws are changed or overturned, contextualization may be the only option, at least for the present. Our view, however, is that unless these monuments can in fact be used to foster recognition of the reality of our painful past and invite reconciliation for the present and the future, they should be removed from our public spaces.

On June 1st, thirty minutes before DC's curfew, Attorney General Barr ordered an escalation of police force to clear protestors on a public street outside of the White House. That's not just an abuse of power — it's a violation of our constitutional rights.
Sign your name here to condemn breaking up peaceful protesters and stand with the folks fighting for change:
Anyone brave enough to stand up for justice peacefully right now is a hero, not a threat. Police and law enforcement should be working to protect our rights to free assembly, not attacking peaceful protesters.
Our history is full of moments like these — where protesters and demonstrations have helped us correct systemic injustices. Standing up like this is not hurting our country, it's part of our very foundation.

Zakat Gives Fresh Food
Zakat Foundation of America will transport 23 tons of farm-fresh produce to New York for free distribution to low-income families, the jobless, and undocumented in all five boroughs – with volunteers from nearly 40 Islamic centers delivering grocery packages directly to the homes of those unable to reach designated food-sharing sites.
The global charity's relief workers and volunteers from its local partners will give out 1,760 containers of farm-fresh produce – each package brimming with about 25 pounds of colorful fruit and vegetables – to families in need.
Zakat Foundation, headquartered near Chicago in Bridgeview, Illinois, will haul the much-needed fresh- food aid from Midwest farmers into the city, reeling in the wake of the Minneapolis police murder of George Floyd, followed by days of anti-police brutality, anti-racist protests, citywide curfews, and military- style crowd-dispersing tactics to thwart demonstrators. The unrest has shuttered stores, shut down municipal services, stranded countless of the most vulnerable, and separated many from access to food.
Hillside Islamic Center, at 300 Hillside Avenue, New Hyde Park, will serve as the central food-packages pick-up location for organization volunteers. They will take their produce and grocery allotments back to their home mosques and centers for distribution to their communities.
Produce crates hold fresh tomatoes, apples, oranges, cucumbers, lettuce, celery, carrots, asparagus, onions, potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables. Grocery boxes contain rice, oil, milk, pasta, sugar, noodles, and tea.
The protests have come on the heels of New York's massive coronavirus outbreak, which struck marginalized communities and neighborhoods with appallingly high infection and death rates, hitting the poor especially hard economically with widespread job losses and little government relief.
Since the COVID-19 crisis began, Zakat Foundation has distributed at least 44,000 pounds of potatoes, hundreds of hot meals, and thousands of pounds of groceries to New York's afflicted among African American, Latino, Bangladeshi, Indian, Arab, and other communities through 26 community organization partners.
In addition, the international humanitarian agency has distributed 3,000 masks to essential workers and 2,500 medical gloves to Stony Brook University Medical center.

National Day of Fasting
The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is calling for a National Day of Fasting and Focus on Monday to call Americans to repent of systemic racism and turn toward the work of building a more just and loving society for all people.
Bishop William J. Barber II, campaign co-chair and president of Repairers of the Breach, said the campaign seeks not merely a fasting from food, but also a national fasting from systemic racism, systemic poverty, the denial of health care and from other death-dealing policies.
"We must dedicate ourselves to breathing life into our Constitution and its promises and refuse to accept a civility that covers up injustice," Bishop Barber said. "The very life of our democracy is at stake. Not the democracy that is, but the democracy that could be."
The upheaval in the country has shown the power of social justice movements, said Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice and co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign.
"People across race, across geography, across age have seen that we cannot be silent anymore," she said. "It is only when the people organize in radical and bold ways that we can build a society that actually takes care of the needs of the people."
The campaign is asking people to stand still wherever they are at 5 p.m. , Monday, June 7, and be still and focus for eight minutes and 46 seconds — the amount of time that an officer held his knee on the neck of George Floyd, killing him on Memorial Day. They will then be asked to read a litany that the campaign will share on social media.
After that, Rev. Barber will speak to the nation from Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina, where he is the minister.
People should also remember Ahmaud Abery, who was shot and killed by armed white men as he jogged in Georgia in February and Breonna Taylor, who died in March after she was shot eight times by police who used a battering ram to invade her apartment. As a sign that our collective repentance is real, people will also be invited to dedicate themselves to stay engaged, to vote, to hold elected officials accountable and to work for a moral agenda that addresses historic wrongs and policies that perpetuate inequality.
On Sunday, June 6, the campaign will hold a national interfaith service to recognize the more than 100,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19, especially poor and low-income workers. While President Trump wants to divert attention away from the pandemic and to his misinterpretation of protests in the streets, the Poor People's Campaign will insist that the country doesn't forget those who died.
The service will be co-led by Revs. Barber and Theoharis and Rabbi Jonah Pesner, Imam Omar Suleiman and Valerie Kaur.

Antifa Exposed
In light of recent events, Project Veritas today released a video exposing the violent nature of the controversial group known as antifa.
"Depending on the setting, if I were to be caught or found out in a setting where I am present with them, it could escalate to violence against me," said the Project Veritas Undercover Journalist.
"Project Veritas does not condone any violence whatsoever. It is a sad time in our nation's history with Antifa activists hijacking #blacklivesmatter protests in cities across the country, attacking the police and engaging in violence," said Project Veritas founder and CEO, James O'Keefe.
"In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized & driven by anarchic left extremist groups — far-left extremist groups using Antifa-like tactics."
Antifa is short for anti-fascist. The group has long claimed a leadership role in violent movements across America and the world.
"They do not hesitate to either push back or incite some kind of violence. In our classes and in our meetings, before we do any sort of demonstration or Black Block, we talk about weapons detail and what we carry and what we should have," said the Project Veritas Undercover Journalist.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump said the United States would designate "Antifa" as a terrorist organization. National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien echoed Trump's comments Sunday morning, saying the violence "is being driven by 'Antifa.'"
Attorney General William Barr announced in a statement that he will enforce action against the group, saying "violent radical elements" are hijacking legitimate protests to "pursue their own separate, violent, and extremist agenda".
About Project Veritas:
James O'Keefe established Project Veritas in 2011 as a non-profit journalism enterprise to continue his undercover reporting work. Today, Project Veritas investigates and exposes corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions to achieve a more ethical and transparent society. O'Keefe serves as the CEO and Chairman of the Board so that he can continue to lead and teach his fellow journalists, as well as protect and nurture the Project Veritas culture.
Project Veritas is a registered 501(c)3 organization. Project Veritas does not advocate specific resolutions to the issues raised through its investigations, nor do we encourage others to do so. Our goal is to inform the public of wrongdoing and allow the public to make judgments on the issues.

Racial Justice Movements
For the last few days, we have been witnessing a popular uprising across this country against racism and anti-Black violence. As the number of victims of police brutality mounts, their names will forever be attached to this moment of national reckoning—Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, David McAtee. Many have come before them. At the Vera List Center, we express our deepest sympathy to their families. We stand in solidarity with Black artists, colleagues, and people who are hurting and protesting.
As curfews across this land curtail the right to speak up against racism and state-sanctioned violence, people pour into the streets. We join them in demanding equity and racial justice. We recognize that as an arts and culture organization, we are implicated in a regime of historical and ongoing systemic oppression of Black and Indigenous people and as well as immigrants and other marginalized groups. And we acknowledge that change must start at the very foundation of an organization—the value statements, principles of governance, organizational structures, staff, and financial resources, long before art can be realized, presented, and discussed.
"If Art Is Politics" is the prompt that has guided our programs and a restructuring of our governance over the last two years. Art as a political practice makes demands on the structures that hold it—as if it were a political party platform accountable to its principles. In October 2020, we will embark on "As for Protocols," a new two-year research project that considers protocols of both control and empowerment and proposes new terms for engagement that are more mutual and inclusive.
Caught between a global pandemic and martial law, both of which will continue to impact Black lives in disproportionate measures, striving for equitable and inclusive conditions in our art institutions and the field at large is crucial to dismantling systemic racism. In every facet of this work, we are guided by outstanding artists and thinkers who point to better ways of being and coming together. They hold us accountable, every day anew, and we are committed to honoring their work and principles. What is unfolding in the U.S. embodies these basic principles, and we pledge to support them as part of our mission, and in the fight for justice and equity.
Here are links to some of the organizations leading this movement. We encourage you to support their work however you can.

Kerswill was born in England in 1925. He studied at the Plymouth and Bristol Schools of Art. After the Second World War he traveled around Europe painting before traveling to Canada. After he and a friend canoed from British Columbia into the US he eventually settled in Jackson Hole, WY as he loved the scenery in the Western US. He painted many pictures of the Tetons, this being one of them.
It's rumored that Kerswill spent some time working in Denver. Interestingly, the original stretcher bars on this painting are from Meiningers in Denver.
The photograph was printed on aluminum and is framed in a leather frame made in Peru.

Trevor owns a couple of Will's pieces and bought this one for the gallery.
Yes, you are correct in thinking that the art is not mounted in the center of the frame. This was done deliberately for effect. If you like the piece but don't like the effect we can re-mount and center the art.
Russell Chatham was born in San Francisco in 1939. He is a self taught painter and is the grandson of the landscape painter Gottardo Piazzoni. Chatham began exhibiting his work in 1958 and has had one man shows in Aspen, Santa Fe, and Denver. He's had hundreds of shows throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. He began making prints of his work in 1980 and is regarded as one of the world's foremost lithographers.

Martin Kenny (born 1 October 1971) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Sligo–Leitrim constituency since the 2016 general election.

Career
Kenny became a member of Leitrim County Council in 2001, when he was co-opted to replace Liam McGirl, the son of former Sinn Féin TD John Joe McGirl.

Harassment and attacks
In May 2016, Kenny alleged a number of serious instances of misconduct within the Garda Síochána. The main allegations included that gardaí were engaging informants who were active criminals, outside the Garda Covert Human Intelligence Sources programme. He also mentioned a number of instances including "robberies allegedly carried out by informants under the direction of gardaí", cases of entrapment made at the behest of Garda handlers, and an instance where "senior gardaí did not inform other members of the force of plans by a criminal gang to carry out attacks at the homes of gardaí".

He also stated that two Gardaí had brought this to the attention of both Martin Callinan (former Commissioner of the Garda Síochána) and the former Minister of Justice, Alan Shatter, but their concerns were ignored.

In October 2019, Kenny said he had received death threats after he spoke out in Dáil Eireann against far-right elements in Irish society using anti-immigrant rhetoric. Kenny's remarks were spurred by the aftermath of the 2019 Grays incident, and recent protests against the building of a Direct Provision centre in his own constituency in County Leitrim as well other protests in Ireland against the construction of Direct Provision centres. On 28 October 2019, Kenny's car was set ablaze outside his family home. In an interview with Ocean FM he described the arson attack as "traumatic" and feared that he was facing the same fate as Kevin Lunney.

In October 2021, a threat of gun violence was made to Kenny's office.

Kevin Hasenbein ran for an 80-yard touchdown for the Morristown HS football team in the fall. He will intern at the Morris County Sheriff's Office.
Kevin Hasenbein, a 19-year-old who proved his talent with the Morristown High School football team, has scored a spring internship with the Morris County Sheriff's Office.
Hasenbein, who has Down syndrome, officially started his new position alongside sheriff's detectives in the evidence section on Feb. 4.
His internship, slated to run through June 24, will bring Hasenbein to Superior Court on Mondays and in the evidence section on Wednesdays.
"I, along with all members of the Morris County Sheriff's Office, welcome Kevin's enthusiastic presence. His spirit and energy will make us better people," Sheriff James Gannon said.
Hasenbein will also complete a separate internship on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the Civil Division of the Superior Court in Morristown.
In 2018, Hasenbein obtained his Morristown High School diploma after fulfilling his graduation requirements at a school in Chatham. He returned to Morristown High School in the fall to participate in its Colonial Learning Independence For Employment, known as the Colonial L.I.F.E. program, which assists 18 to 21-year-old individuals in learning basic employment skills.
Colonial L.I.F.E.'s partnerships with Morris County Superior Court and Morris County government assisted Hasenbein in obtaining the internship, also known as Structured Learning Experiences. Colonial L.I.F.E. Job Coach Jonathan Mestell will accompany Hasenbein to the internship.
The teen made headlines during Morristown High School's Homecoming football game against Delbarton School in October. Both Kevin and his younger brother Eric Hasenbein, a Colonials junior, went to practice, weight-lifting sessions and group dinners. Before the game officially started, Hasenbein took the football from quarterback Colin Falk, rushed around the right end, and ran 80 yards past the defense for a touchdown. It was his first. Though it didn't count on the scoreboard, it gave the Colonials' fans plenty of reason to celebrate.
Morristown High School Transition Coordinator Patricia Herbert said Hasenbein is well-known and beloved at the high school.
"Kevin is very personable. He's like a rock star at school. He's always got a smile on his face and is truly a pleasure to be around," Herbert said.

The mission of the Archimedean Schools is to initiate the young mind to the art of thinking through the teaching of Mathematics, English and the Greek language.
The founders of Archimedean Academy envisioned a Charter school (K-12) whose main goal is to provide its students an excellent education with emphasis in the teachings of the two main branches of the 3,000 year old Greek civilization: The Classical achievements in literature and the arts as they permeate our modern civilization and the art of mathematical thinking as the lifeline and the wind beneath modern science and technology. A conservatory is a public place of instruction, designed to preserve and perfect the knowledge of some branch of science or art. Children blossom inside a rainbow of heritages and dreams deeply rooted in the belief that an education of the highest quality will steer their lives for a better future in a better society. The conservatory provides the students with the highest quality education. Its strength emanates from the deep sense of responsibility in helping young minds to grow and the confidence in teaching the art of thinking through mathematics and literature. The Greek heritage belongs to humanity and not just to Greeks. It influenced our modern civilization from the architecture, to the literature and the fine arts. Mathematics form the foundation of modern scientific thought and practice. Therefore, their presence in the curriculum opens the children's horizons and provide them with a better understanding of our modern society.

The choice between red dots or low powered variable powered optics typically is a topic that creates some "friendly debate." I myself wrestle with this question frequently. I am constantly in search of the "do all" optic to put on my modern sporting rifles. Am I doing myself a disservice by going with one or the other? Both options have their strengths and weaknesses, but which one will give me more capabilities?
The tried and true red dot has been around for some time. It is easy to install and operate piece of gear. Mount the dot on your rifle, zero it, and then begin shooting. If you have one of the more common zeros then you will notice that everything that dot lands on inside of 200 yards has a good chance of hitting its mark (even small targets). The minimal parallax in dots also takes a lot of the user error out of your sight alignment.
We only start to see the limitations of the red dot when the distance to the target increases. Making positive ID's and shot adjustment calls become difficult with red dots. "Hold overs" become a kind of guessing game. The red dot has been and will continue to be the king of the hill at closer distances.
The popularity of LPVOs on MSRs is an upward trend. Generally an optic is referred to an "LPVO" when the range of magnification is under 10x. Almost all of the major optics manufacturers have released their version of a 1-4x, 1-6x, and or 1-8x variable optics.
At 1x, LPVO's have ability to perform like a red dot at closer distances and then increasing magnification for target ID or to see splash for adjusting a holder over. The endless variety of "bullet drop compensation" (BDC) reticles in LPVOs make shots as easy as point and click. Field of view, parallax, and weight can be a concern when running optics with magnification but optic technology continues to advance (exponentially) making them lighter and easier to use.
Personally I have come terms that the LPVO is best for me the majority of the time. If I have a choice I continually find myself reaching for a gun with a lower variable powered optic. I do own red dots as well but they are usually on guns with shorter ranges like subguns or 300 blackouts.
On rifles chambered in .223/5.56 I will typically use a 1-4x or 1-6x. This range of magnification allows me to use the round to it's full potential. If I am using calibers like 6.5 Grendel or .224 Valkyrie with a longer effective range then I might step up to a 1-8 or even a 2.5-10x. The low magnification allows me to run my LPVO like a red dot but if targets are further out then I can dial up the magnification.
Ultimately the choice between a red dot or low powered variable optic will come down to what you need to accomplish with your modern sporting rifle. If shooting at distance is not needed then a red dot makes a lot of sense for your "mission set." For example, a dedicated home defense AR15 would be a great host for a quality red dot. A red dot may also be a little easier of a learning curve for a new shooter. For the hunter and competition shooter a LPVO will be an option that is more versatile. Keep your optic on 1x for closer targets and increase magnification as needed when stretching out. The task at hand will be the biggest factor in choosing between the two.


And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant[a] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
Mary, Did You Know? Is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
This touching song has been played for well over three decades during the Christmas season. The lyrics are beautifully written and contain powerful phrases like, "Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand…" and, "This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you." It's a stirring line of questions asked by the songwriter that cause listeners to stand in amazement at the power of our God.
We really don't know much about Mary except that she was a virgin and probably in her early teens. According to Luke 1:28, we know that she was "highly favored" and that "the Lord was with her." Even without a stunning resume, God used her. Sweet, little Mary who kept to herself and wasn't a big "playmaker" was invited by the Creator of the universe to change the world.
Where are you in your life right now? How much of "you" have you truly surrendered? Are you living the truth that "your life is not your own" and that you've been "brought with a price"? Is there something that you are missing out on because you won't let Him lead?
We have a Messiah. His name is Jesus. He is the Savior of the world. He walked on water without a single bit of effort. He came and died to make us new. He gave sight to a blind man with some dirt and saliva. He woke up from a deep sleep and calmed a raging storm with his human hand. He fed over 5,000 people with a tiny bit of bread and fish. He does the miraculous.
And He has amazing plans for your life.
Dear Lord, help us to say yes to You like Mary with no conditions. Help us to surrender to You the things that are keeping us from You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.


Low top shoes give your feet more freedom and make you light as a feather on the court. Finding the right low top shoe can be a challenge – especially because most players prefer high-top shoes. We'll share some of our top shoe picks and tell you what to look for when choosing a pair.
Low top shoes offer many advantages on the court, but knowing what to look for when buying them can be a challenge. We'll tell you what to look for when choosing your shoes and help you understand the benefits low top shoes offer.
Ultra-light, unique look and comfortable fit.
Colorful designs, good cushioning, designed for speed.
Classic design and style. Made with stability and support I in mind.
High-top sneakers are the go-to option for most basketball players, but there are benefits to wearing low-top shoes on the court.
One of the main benefits to wearing low top shoes is that they're lightweight. According to Livestrong, low top shoes can be up to 20% lighter than their high-top counterparts.
The lighter weight will help prevent fatigue on the court, so you can play at your best for longer.
Mid- and high-top shoes restrict ankle movement, which can hinder players in some positions. Having a little more freedom in the ankle area will promote agility on the court.
Just keep in mind that your ankles will lose some protection and will be more prone to injury during play.
Freedom to move your ankles and a lighter shoe means that you can be faster on the court. Low top shoes are usually built for speed. They typically have better traction, too, for more explosive movements on the court.
Size is the most important thing when choosing basketball shoes. Sizes vary from one brand to another, so be sure to check the size chart of each shoe before buying. You may want to have your foot measured by a professional to make sure that you choose the right size.
If you plan to buy online (prices are usually cheaper online), you can try on a few pairs in the store to see how they fit before buying. Trying the shoes on in person will help save you from having to make a return because of sizing issues.
If you have flat feet or high arches, consider looking for shoes that offer optimal arch support. Over- or under-pronation can lead to injury, pain and other issues if you don't have well-fitting shoes with the right amount of support.
Poor arch support can cause pain, according to Ankle & Foot of Edmonds.
Those with low arches will want shoes with "motion control" for better stability where the arch usually collapses. Those with high arches should consider shoes with better "cushioning," which encourage the foot to roll inward.
A breathable shoe is more comfortable and helps prevent foot odor. When choosing a low-top shoe, look for a model that has a breathable upper. Your feet will stay cooler and you'll be more comfortable playing for longer periods of time.
Most low-top shoes have a mesh material that not only improves airflow, but also provides better support and conforms to the natural shape of your feet.
If you choose shoes that don't have a breathable upper, you may feel uncomfortable on the court after a while.
Basketball shoes need to fit properly, but they also need to be comfortable. It doesn't matter how good a shoe looks or how lightweight it is; if it isn't comfortable, you won't wear it.
The right amount of cushioning in the right place will provide stability and support while helping you jump higher and run faster.
If you want to improve your performance, look for a shoe that offers just the right amount of cushioning to boost your speed and jump height.
The weight of the shoe is another consideration. Lighter shoes tend to be more comfortable and will give you more speed on the court.
A lightweight shoe will also keep you from getting fatigued, so you can play at your best for longer.
Shoes that have mesh, breathable uppers are usually the lightest.
Comfort and fit are the two most important things when choosing a basketball shoe, but you also want to consider its design and color.
A shoe can be comfortable as a cloud and fit like a glove, but if you don't like the way they look, you won't wear them.
Make sure that you choose a pair of shoes that you actually like. Basketball shoes come in a vast range of colors and designs, so you're sure to find something that matches your personality and style.
The Nike Zoom KD 10 is the newest show in the KD (Kevin Durant) line-up, and it's gotten a lot of attention in the media.
The KD 10's unorthodox lace structure is what gives this shoe its unique look, but it's also what gives the wearer more control when on the court. The oversized laces wrap around the sides of the feet for an adaptable lockdown fit.
The KD 10 has a visible Zoom Air unit, which gives this shoe an extra-low profile, flexibility, cushioning and bounce. The fly weave upper allows for better airflow and stretch.
The outsole pattern provides a multidirectional grip for enhanced control when out on the court. The phylon midsole allows this shoe to be lightweight.
The shoe fits as expected, and half-sizes are available.
If you need a wide shoe, the KD 10 may not be a good fit for you.
Nike's KD 10 is designed to make you lighter, give you more control and provide a comfortable fit. For more serious basketball players, these shoes may be a good option.
The Performance Crazylight Boost shoes from adidas have a flashy look, but there's more than meets the eye with these shoes.
The Crazylight Boost is marketed as a "quick court shoe," and it's designed for players who value speed above all else.
The ultra-light upper is synthetic and textile with designs inspired by New Orleans jazz musicians. The molded heel collar gives you a better fit, while the boost feature gives you an energy boost. The outsole features a grippy surface for more traction and control on the court.
The Crazylight Boost shoe is available in sizes 8-16, and fits mostly as expected (some people find them to be somewhat large). Half sizes are available, and you can choose from seven colors: solar red, black/white/mint/red, white/white, white/scarlet/navy, grey/maroon, black/red, Chinese New Year, grey/silver, grey/maroon/white.
For most people, the Crazylight Boost fits just as expected. But some people find that the shoe is a little bigger than they expected.
Minor sizing issues aside, the Crazylight Boost helps improve speed that players need to make winning plays.
The Isolation 2 is part of the adidas Performance line, and it features the brand's classic black and white design.
The upper features a mix of leather and synthetic material for added durability. It also features the iconic three stripes adidas is known for.
The midsole features a bottom-loaded torsion system for stability and flexibility on the court. The interior has an EVA sockliner for better breathability and comfort while playing.
The shaft of the shoe measures about 2.7″ from the arch.
The Isolation 2 runs a little small, but this shoe is designed for durability.
Leather and synthetic upper adds to the durability of the shoe.
EVA sockliner makes the shoe more breathable and comfortable to wear.
Torsion system allows for more flexibility and stability while on the court.
The Isolation 2 tends to run a little small, so make sure you know your actual shoe size before ordering these. There are no wide sizes either, so you'll need to order a half-size up if you have wider feet.
Sizing issue aside, the Isolation 2 is a comfortable and durable shoe in the low-to-mid price range. If you're looking for a practical shoe, this model may be a good fit.
The Lebron Soldier IX is a sleek, stylish shoe that will get you noticed on the court. While not a perfect shoe, the Soldier IX does offer durability and performance-enhancing features that many players will appreciate.
The Lunarlon cushioning allows for a better bounce, and the carrier foam wedge helps keep excessive pronation under control.
The Soldier IX is lightweight and features a full innersleeve that wraps around the foot. The internal sleeve feature adds to the breathability of the shoe without adding too much weight.
These basketball shoes come in more than a dozen colors, including: Grey/blue, blue/black/orange, black/silver, black/red, black/orange, desert camo, red/silver, blue/green, grey/white, black/white/Concord, and garnet/gold.
The Soldier IX is a little on the narrow side, which is common with basketball shoes. Make sure that you measure your feet properly before buying these shoes – or any other basketball shoe.
Sizing is a common issue with any shoe. Aside from this minor gripe, the Lebron Soldier IX is comfortable and may be a good fit for people with pronation issues.
Nike's Air Jordan Futures feature a minimalistic, futuristic design with a comfortable feel. The mesh upper is breathable and has a reflective top coat for better visibility on the court.
The upper is one single piece for a unique look, and it features lockdown lacing for a better fit.
The compression-molded foam midsole is lightweight and the midfoot shank adds to the stability of the shoe. The heel of the shoe features an encapsulated Air-Sole for extra-light cushioning.
The durable rubber outsole features a circular pattern for better traction on the court.
The Air Jordan Future is available in more than a dozen colors, including: blue/white/black, red/black/white, navy/grey/white, grey/white, black/red/white, grey/black/white, black/red/white, green/white/black, grey/white, and more.
Air-Sole unit in the sole for better cushioning and comfort.
Rubber sole has circular pattern for improved traction.
Lockdown lacing for a better fit and control on the court.
Unfortunately, there are no wide sizes for the Air Jordan Future. If you need a wide-width size, this may not be the right shoe for you.
If you're looking for a shoe that will make you stand out on the court while giving you the comfort you want, the Air Jordan Future may be a good option for you.
While all of the shoes on this list are comfortable and well-made, the Nike Zoom KD 10 is our favorite pick. We like the light and comfortable feel of the upper, and the lace lockdown is an added perk.
The shoes are ultra-light, and come in a range of attractive designs and colors.
If you're looking for a shoe with a more traditional lace style and construction, the adidas Crazylight Boost may be a good fit for you. Each shoe on our list offers a different look, style and feel, so you can find one that matches your unique personal style.

'I love you with all my left kidney': Alabama woman donates organ to friend
Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
HUNTSVILLE, ALA. —
Nursing school presents plenty of challenges for students, but an Alabama senior has taken her commitment beyond books.
Jenna Mize graduates from Calhoun Community College's nursing school next month, and in June she will be donating her left kidney to a friend who was diagnosed with organ failure last year, WHNT reported.
Mize, 21, will fly to Tampa, Florida, where she will donate her kidney June 20 to her lifelong friend, 19-year-old Deanna Recktenwald, who has stage 5 kidney failure.
When Recktenwald's family posted on social media in December seeking a donor, Mize said she did not give it much thought.
"I'm in nursing school, I'm about to graduate, I'm about to get a job, like this just isn't the timing," Mize told WHNT.
However, she began having second thoughts after praying for her friend.
"Almost instantly, I just felt this voice, 'You need to fill out the application,'" Mize told the television station. "I just knew right then, before I even filled it out, that I was going to be her match."

— WHNT (@whnt) April 27, 2019
After her initial application was approved, Mize went to Florida for more testing, WHNT reported. After getting a telephone call from doctors saying she was a match, Mize used FaceTime Recktenwald to give Recktenwald the news, holding up a sign that read, "I love you with all my left kidney."
"I just know 100% that this is what I'm supposed to be doing," Mize told WHNT. "What I've just learned constantly throughout this whole process is that it's God's timing and this is what he wanted and more than anything, it's bringing her life back."
Mize's medical bills will be covered by insurance, but her travel expenses will not be. Her family started a GoFundMe page, and after 10 days she is nearly halfway to her goal of $5,000. The family said if the account exceeds the goal, the surplus will be donated to help cover Recktenwald's medical bills, the television station reported.


In an effort to meet the needs of some of our more regional clients, this year Newcastle was added to the list of User Group Meeting locations: joining Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. In addition to our residential User Group Meetings, 2015 saw the addition of two home care specific meetings, with a look to expand these across the country in the future as our home care client base continues to grow.
Starting the residential User Group Meetings with a look at the aged care sector as a whole, Principal, Clients & Growth, Michael Donnelly, highlighted the recent growth in provider consolidation and market competition. In addition, Michael explained that Consumer Directed Care (CDC) has begun to impact the residential aged care sector, with an increasing push towards consumer choice. As a result, providers are looking for new ways to differentiate themselves from the competition with the use of innovative technologies and marketing approaches. Many clients discussed their efforts towards providing consumer choice, such as offering breakfast during a four hour window to allow residents to choose a time that suits them. Attendees at the meetings explained that all of these changes are having a significant impact on staffing and care models.
Throughout the meetings, the topic turned to the global technology trends that are defining the way innovative businesses operate; namely social, mobile, cloud and information. In partnering with Microsoft Azure, iCareHealth now offers a cloud hosted software option for aged care providers looking to reduce the costs and resources associated with traditional servers and hardware. iCareHealth recognises the importance of these trends to ensure aged care providers have technology that enhances their delivery of care and creates efficiencies across their business.
Michael also spoke to the attendees about our journey towards a connected eHealth system, and clients were interested to learn about our collaboration with Telstra Health. While the iCareHealth team and focus on client needs has not changed, attendees at the User Group Meetings were pleased to learn about the new strengths the Telstra Health acquisition has brought to the organisation. This includes frequent software releases, new innovative functionality, and the resources to ensure iCareHealth will remain a dedicated partner for our clients in the long term.
One of the highlights of the residential User Group Meetings was the product demonstrations for the Clinical, Care and Medication Management software solution. Client Manager, Candice Rice, ran through key product enhancements of the newest release, version 4. This included a look at the simpler navigation, cleaner look and feel, and new functionality within the tasks, alerts and management reporting areas. With the release of version 5 fast approaching, Candice previewed the latest enhancements, including advanced access and security controls, role management, and care plan functionality.
Clients were also given a preview of some of the features that will be included in both version 6 and 7 of Clinical, Care and Medication Management, as iCareHealth looks to the future needs of aged care providers. Throughout the meetings, clients spoke about their excitement around the product direction and additional functionality. This was particularly the case when looking at the design and layout update, which will reduce the need for staff training and help bring key information to the surface.
Feedback is an essential component of iCareHealth's User Group Meetings, and helps to ensure our software is fit for purpose. In order to gather direct feedback, the meetings contained a breakout session where clients were asked questions about their use of the software and their future requirements. This feedback will link directly to our version 6 and 7 release planning, and will help to prioritise new functionality and enhancements. Our User Group Meetings are essential to ensure we understand the ongoing needs and priorities of aged care providers, and helps iCareHealth keep clients at the centre of everything we do.
