Rockford Man Arrested for Murder
A Rockford man has been arrested for a murder committed in September.
Police used a SWAT team along with several officers to take 23-year-old Demario Thompson into custody Friday at his apartment at the Halsted Park Apartment Complex in the 2900 block of Conklin Drive. He surrendered without incident, and is being held on a $1,500,000 bond.
Prosecutors issued a warrant for his arrest on 1st Degree Murder Charges for the shooting death of 22-year-old Lanair Jones-Sullivan, who was killed September 27th in the 1400 block of Birch Court in the Blackhawk public housing complex. The Coroner's office says Jones-Sullivan died of a gunshot wound to the head and was also shot a few times in his torso.
"This arrest is the result of the Rockford Police Department's dedicated commitment to bring violent offenders to justice," said Rockford Police Chief Dan O'Shea in a statement.

CONCERNS REGARDING THE USMLE PROPOSAL
The National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners has considered the proposal put forth in the White Paper issued by APMA and ACFAS. The board offers the following comments.
Trying to achieve parity by having DPM candidates attempt to pass USMLE is misguided.
The APMLE series is psychometrically sound, demonstrably valid and accepted by all states as the basis for safe and competent practice of podiatric medicine.
The NBPME disagrees that any part of the USMLE is appropriate for deciding whether a podiatrist is eligible for licensure.
The designation of 'Physician" is the prerogative of state licensing boards, not the AMA. The issue should be taken up in the proper venue.
THE FUTURE OF CSPE
The NBPME has unanimously voted that the CSPE represents a unique, valid, reliable examination that tests skills not being tested in the Parts I, II, and III written examinations. The decision was also made to start an investigation into alternatives to the suspended version of the clinical skills patient encounter examination. It was acknowledged that the first version of CSPE examination was unpopular among the student population mainly because of the expense to candidates.
During the development, pilot process and then with the actual administration of the first version of the examination, the board became convinced of the appropriateness of testing these unique skills that are crucial to safe, effective, independent practice. That perspective is also shared by other licensing boards, including NBME and NBOME. To date, no groups have abandoned this examination. Boards have either continued to test or said they are suspending the current version of their examinations while pursuing alternate designs.
The CSPE examination is currently suspended. Investigation and evaluation of alternatives has only begun. Although it may be possible, it is unlikely that a new design would be developed, piloted and ready for administration for the Class of 2022.
NBPME is committed to the clinical skills program, and to providing routine updates to the stakeholders of our profession, including the AACPM, APMA, APMSA, CPME and FPMB, as we work alongside NBOME to further our mission and to create an examination that is valid, reliable and cost-effective.
NBPME CANCELS PART II CSPE FOR THE CLASS OF 2021
At a meeting Tuesday, February 9, 2021, the board decided that the many complications created by the global pandemic have made it impossible to continue the Clinical Skills Patient Encounter examination currently underway.
All candidates who have tested or scheduled will be reimbursed for the test fee and appropriate travel expenses. All affected students will be contacted after details have been completed.
Dr. Alyssa Stephenson, board president, stated that the NBPME intends to work with stakeholders including state licensing boards to determine the best path forward to continue to meet the goal of protecting the public health by examining all skills that are essential for safe independent practice.

Little Free Libraries Come to Lebanon
Zachary Brock touches up the Little Free Library in Colburn Park
You may have noticed some new structures pop up around town—filled with great reads that are free to anyone who walks by.
While we've had public libraries here in Lebanon since 1802, the newest ones never close and don't even require a library card. These Little Free Libraries are both beautiful and functional, allowing Lebanon residents to pass on what they don't need and find a new treasure while they are there. The idea is to "take a book, return a book," but there are no requirements or due dates on these shelves, no e-readers or digital copies; just free and easy access to books in public locations.
The Little Free Libraries were installed in four places throughout the city: at the Kilton Library, in Colburn Park, in Riverside Park on Glen Road, and at the Upper Valley Senior Center. These locations were specifically chosen because they have high foot traffic and are easily accessible by many people, including commuters, children, and seniors.
The Little Free Library movement started in a front yard in Wisconsin in 2009, when founder Todd Bol installed a tiny red schoolhouse dedicated to his mother and filled it with books. He was inspired by traveling libraries, coffee shop book swaps, and Andrew Carnegie's support of free public libraries (including our own Lebanon Public Library).
Bol formed a nonprofit and caught the attention of the national media two years later, when the idea went viral. The mission of the Little Free Libraries is to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide, and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity, and wisdom across generations.
Today, our Little Free Libraries in Lebanon stand proud among an estimated 40,000 worldwide and over 40 others here in New Hampshire, sharing millions of books annually. Other locations in New Hampshire include Grafton, Claremont, Meredith, Littleton, and Hampton. These Little Free Libraries offer a simple, free, and face-to-face way to build social interactions, increase literacy, and encourage a love of books in communities around the world.
This project was truly a community collaboration, with funding for the project coming from the Riverside Rotary and the Lebanon Public Libraries Board of Trustees. Lebanon Public Libraries Director Sean Fleming, IT Librarian Chuck McAndrew, and Trustee Laura Barrett advocated for the idea to become a reality. Local architect and West Lebanon resident Zachary Brock designed the libraries and worked on the construction with Bob Stone, also a West Lebanon resident.
West Lebanon residents Zachary Brock and Bob Stone were instrumental in creating the Lebanon Little Free Libraries
One of the most unique features of the Little Free Libraries is the laser-cut aluminum signs adorning the sides of the boxes. Designer Matt Young created the plan for the signs, and volunteers from Hypertherm donated the materials, labor, and used their lasers to create the artful signs. In addition, Lebanon Paint & Decorating donated the paint, and Jeff White from Harvey Building Products volunteered to work on the roofs of the structures.
Careful thought and consideration went into the design of the libraries. Since they are located on public land, they meet Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for handicap accessibility. The handles and top shelves are located at a height where they can be reached by someone in a wheelchair. Every box is placed next to a hard surface, like a sidewalk or a pavilion, so that anyone in a wheelchair or power chair could roll up next to any of the boxes. In addition, because of the lower height of the library installations, the roof was designed so that no parts of the roof would stick out at eye level for standing adults. The Little Free Libraries were truly designed with everyone in mind.
Bob Stone worked with architect Zachary Brock to construct and install the libraries. Working evenings, weekends, and during school vacations, they began construction in March and finished the installations in August. Bob said, "Within 30 minutes of installation, the first one was filled up with book donations. We shared photos on Facebook, and there was a social media explosion as people got excited about the libraries—it was amazing how quickly the community began to utilize them. It's fun and convenient, and I can take my three-year-old son 'shopping' for a new book whenever we walk by. It was a tiny way that I could give back to the library that does so much for our family and our city."
Lebanon Public Libraries Director Sean Fleming said that the response from the city has been wonderful. "Soon after installation, someone pulled up on a bike and said, 'You should have done this a long time ago!' He told me that he catches the bus early in the morning, before the library opens, and now he can grab a book to read on his ride. The Little Free Library allows us to offer access 24/7, which is something we never could have done otherwise. We are literally putting books in people's hands when we weren't able to before."
Fleming said, "This is one of the projects I've loved the most since I started working here in Lebanon. I became a librarian to be a part of the community—it's why I love my job. Through this project I've seen so many connections being made and I got to see so many people be proud of the great work they've done. It's why I do what I do."
As a community initiative, our new Little Free Libraries will thrive best with the help and support of Lebanon residents. It's easy to participate and support this new program not just by using the Little Free Libraries, but also supplying them with books of your own. Donations can be brought directly to any of the four Little Free Libraries, or you can donate up to two boxes at either the Lebanon Library or the Kilton Library. Kids' books are especially in demand in Colburn Park and Riverside Park, but all donations are appreciated.

3D mapping show "The Image of Victory in the Collections and Fate of the Hermitage"
Published on 4 of December 2020
Due to the difficult public health situation, the State Hermitage has moved all Hermitage Days events to an online format. As a result, it has become possible to carry out all the traditional programme for these days (the opening of exhibitions, conferences, a gathering of the museum staff) while minimizing the amount of contact between participants.
Considering the high risk of coronavirus infection in public places, as well as the strong public reaction to the holding of mass events at the present moment, the State Hermitage and the city's Culture Committee have decided to hold the 3D-mapping show on Palace Square planned for 5 and 6 December in an online regime. Combined shots filmed from different angles and at different times will produce a new-style art work that will be presented to a wide audience in social networks and television channels around the world.
On 6 December from 5.00 to 10.00 pm (UTC+3) at the start of each hour the show will be broadcast on the site of the Saint Petersburg Internet newspaper Fontanka.ru. Viewing will also be possible through Fontanka's group in the VKontakte social network.
On 6 and 7 December, it will be possible to view the Hermitage Day in online format on the website https://hermitageday.ru every half-hour from 2.00 to 11.00 pm (UTC+3).
Concern for health and public order is inspiring us to new artistic and educational approaches, as is borne out by the record of the Hermitage's work during the whole of the year no drawing to a close.
You can find out more about the project on own website https://hermitageday.ru.
The museum is closed on Mondays, January 1, May 9.
