It's not about how you spend your time, but who you spend it with, particularly if one of the people you may be forced into close proximity with is your current nemesis. Today's Copenhagen itinerary is a choice of a bike tour or a canal tour, and Chaotic Neutral Cary makes a point of splitting up the strong ionic BFF bonds of Brandi/Stephanie and LeeAnne/Kameron into separate groups.
Brandi says that LeeAnne would look like the Wicked Witch on a bike, which LeeAnne is very upset about, in addition to already being very, very upset to have learned that D'Andra apologized to Kameron (but not to her!) after she went to bed last night.
And so "Boat Sisters" D'Andra, LeeAnne, and Stephanie float by palaces and sip rosé; "Bike Sisters" Cary, Kameron, and Brandi ride past a fountain or some shit, and more importantly, Cary casually mentions that she dated Lance Armstrong for a year. The Boat Sisters spot the Bike Sisters from the water, disembark, and then everyone proceeds to jump on public outdoor trampolines while continuing to sip from their wine glasses. Scandinavia 1, America 0.
The Boat Sisters peel off to an outdoor café, where LeeAnne makes a point of scooping up and saving their bottle caps from the cider they're drinking, for "sentimental" reasons — much as she held onto her maid-of-honor bouquet from D'Andra's wedding, and the boutonnière, and the invitation. I can only imagine she'll be assembling all of these objects into a passive-aggressive Joseph Cornell–style shadowbox to throw at D'Andra during the reunion.
That said, they've actually been kind of, I hate to jinx it, getting along. Stephanie takes it upon herself to serve as D'Andra and LeeAnne's marriage counselor slash calming blue-eyed therapy husky and force them to talk. An extremely timely rainstorm opens up over the restaurant.
LeeAnne's M.O. here is basically to serve as a Random Lifetime Movie Choked-Up Dialogue Generator, my favorite examples being, "I feel like you think I'm a piece of trash that you can just throw away," and "When you took away my opportunity to love you, you took my heart." D'Andra's over-it exterior eventually softens, and she too sheds tears. "It really is my deepest desire that today we can move forward," she says. And just like that, the sun reappears. A little on the nose of you, the weather, but sure.
Cary waits until the gals are all styled and glammed up to announce that their evening outing to the Tivoli Gardens amusement park has a compulsory dress code. Each woman is issued vaguely elfin "Danish girl" outfits (no, not Danish Girl outfits) with colorful aprons and bonnets. They ride a carousel and then without passing Go, without collecting $200 (sorry, D'Andra), proceed directly to the beer garden.
Apparently gunning for a producer credit, Cary reminds everyone about the Wicked Witch comparison. Brandi, still steaming about everything bad that LeeAnne has ever done all at once forever (which, I mean, fair), offers what is essentially the opposite of an apology. "I should have just called you a wicked bitch instead of a wicked witch," she says. Cary's expression is about what I'd expect from someone who'd stuck a fork into an electrical outlet. And yet LeeAnne weathers this with the stone face of a Buckingham Palace guard, if not the big furry hat.
The next day, it's time to meet the rest of the Christensen cousins! The women head out to the suburbs, where Lotte, Camilla, Johan, and the gang have a surprise waiting for their distant relative: Zuri (cute!) and Mark (whatever!) have flown out to join them. Cary is moved to tears, especially when Mark FaceTimes her dad, his co-conspirator.
Over a traditional Danish lunch of spiced herring (which, per RHOD resident food critic Stephanie Hollman's review, has notes of "salty asshole"), enough beer and schnapps is had so that just about everyone agrees it would be a very good idea to take a customary plunge into the 50-degree Baltic Sea. Cary is eager to do so in the local fashion, i.e., naked. If I had a body like Cary's, I too would probably expend a lot of mental energy concocting reasons to remove all of my clothing on TV. "You don't get privacy?!" Zuri screams, as a fisherman looks on.
Various members of Cary's extended family also skinny dip, as does Mark, treating the other women to the unseeable sight of a Real Housepenis. As Stephanie puts it, there are "vaginas and franks everywhere." D'Andra, Kameron, and Stephanie, minus Stephanie's hair extensions, take a swim in their bathing suits, but Brandi, true to character, is Team Nudity. At least she was, until she saw LeeAnne filming the proceedings on her phone.
On the ride back to the hotel, Brandi demands LeeAnne delete the video. LeeAnne insists she was harmlessly recording "for posterity," which I'm sure the Library of Congress will appreciate. Given their fraught history, Brandi isn't crazy to be paranoid about what LeeAnne might do with this footage. Or, as she puts it, her frenemy is a "manipulative fucking bitch." Kameron argues that someone who's "fine getting butt naked on national television" should have no such concerns, but I would argue there is a meaningful distinction to be made as to whether or not the specific contours of your nipples and vulva are edited into a respectable blur.
And yet, at a schmancy Michelin-starred restaurant that has the gall to serve them head-on shrimp, can you imagine, Brandi's persistence improbably manages to win me over to LeeAnne's side. "Would you have liked it if you had your sunny-side up titties and I took a video of you and was laughing at you?" she asks, and I lose five minutes of my life to wondering what, exactly, "sunny-side up titties" would look like. Is that a pejorative reference to LeeAnne's ill-begotten boob job? (Miss you, Dr. True.) I lose another five minutes to wondering what necrotic sunny-side up eggs would look like.
Inconsiderate and dumb though it might have been, I do believe that LeeAnne's impromptu movie shoot was ultimately innocuous. As she says, she didn't make any attempt to hide that she was filming. And, huh-duh, it would be pretty obvious who was responsible if such a video ever did surface. (That is, unless an enterprising to the point of being actually evil Bravo producer got an idea …)
Brandi is convinced LeeAnne is only "pretending to be zen." Time will tell, but so far, she seems to be mostly succeeding at being zen. "I'm not mad at you, I'm not going to be mad at you, and I'm not going to let myself get mad at you," LeeAnne says, with the cadence of a Stuart Smalley daily affirmation.
In a confessional, LeeAnne theorizes that Brandi is always trying to prove the existence of "Old LeeAnne." But she does still exist. LeeAnne "just control[s] her better."
That's the Hulk's secret: She's always angry.

Filipino artists triumph at the Singapore Biennale
Written by Don Jaucian
Updated Nov 4, 2016 7:51:55 AM
Patricia Perez Eustaquio's "The Hunters Enter the Woods" is one of the works by Filipino artists on display at the Singapore Biennale, which will run until February 26, 2017. Photo courtesy of the SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM
Manila (CNN Philippines Life) — Art is a navigational tool. This is what the Singapore Biennale proposes in its 2016 edition, themed "An Atlas of Mirrors." There is an intent to position Southeast Asia as "a vantage point from which to picture our world anew," and considering the gamut of artists representing both raw and cultivated perspectives from the region, an encompassing stance — the Biennale's central theme notwithstanding — finds artists confronting issues that cross boundaries and relationships.
Now on its fifth edition, the Biennale is housed mainly at the Singapore Art Museum and is scattered to seven more locations outside the Lion City, with 63 artists and art collectives participating. Notions of place, identity, memory, and absence are at the center of most works.
A striking example is Chinese artist Qiu Zhijie's "One Has to Wander Through All the Outer Worlds to Reach the Innermost Shrine at the End," a commissioned cartographic work installed in a large room with multiple hand-painted maps that span from the wall to the ceiling. Accompanied by hand-blown glass figures of mythical monsters, the work hones in on the fantastic voyages of discovery and the idea of legendary lands — with names such as "Island of Self-Loathing," "Fictional Geography," and "Phantom Islands" — that conjure the mystery of the uncharted world and utopia as a spectre that haunts us until now.

Hong Kong-based artist duo MAP Office's "Desert Islands" features 101 engraved mirrors bearing fractured topographical images of actual islands, such as Christmas Island, Diego Garcia, the Spratlys, and Singapore, and their respective coordinates. "Desert Islands" puts a spotlight on these seemingly innocuous areas that might be small in terms of land area, but are the subject of disputes owing to their significant place in the global economy — places that have become playgrounds for political aspirations and displays of power.
SAM at 8Q, the Singapore Art Museum's annex, has more decidedly political works, with arresting images and voices telling stories of displacement, border conflicts, and national struggle. Bangladeshi artist Munem Wasif's "Land of Undefined Territory" captures images of seemingly barren landscapes — bleak and unforgiving in black and white — that bear no apparent geographic identity. The land in the photographs actually embody the border separating India and Bangladesh, putting forth decades of a tenuous political relationship between two countries over an area that has been exploited for economic and political gains.
Further up at 8Q is Wen Pulin's three films of critical moments in the development of Chinese contemporary art — posing the dangerous nature of the artist's plight. "Police cannot interfere with art, whether it is good or bad," declares one of the art critics in the film, as images of performance artists struggling to show their art on public are shown onscreen.
An entire floor is dedicated to the plight of Kashmir, a conflict-ridden land that faces an uncertain future due to border conflicts. "Witness to Paradise 2016" features wall diagrams and garments referring to Kashmir's material culture and symbols of cultural changes (Abeer Gupta's "The Pheran"), 30 photographs by photojournalists (the "Witness to Paradise" project), and paintings contemplating on the subject of beauty as a ruined being (Praneet Soi's "Srinagar II"), in relation to Kashmir's ravaged lands.
Five Filipino artists — Martha Atienza, Patricia Perez Eustaquio, Dex Fernandez, Gregory Halili, and Ryan Villamael — represent the Philippines with works that use different media to showcase meditations on issues that beset the country.
Atienza's "Endless Hours at Sea" — shortlisted for the Asian edition of the prestigious Benesse Prize — is a video and sound installation depicting footage recorded during Atienza's oceanic journey that explores the artist's relation with the sea and its nature as a territory subjected to the entirety of human ambition. Eustaquio's "The Hunters Enter the Woods" is an enthralling rendering of rare orchids, on two aluminum panels as "island formations," depicting the fragile relationship between nature and human ambition.

Dex Fernandez paints murals of survivors of typhoon Haiyan and their relationship with "useless" but sentimental objects in "I Wonder, I Wander." Gregory Halili's "Karagatan (The Breadth of Oceans)" are delicate paintings on mother-of-pearl illustrating the eyes of residents living in coastal villages — their lives bound to the endless depth of the ocean. Ryan Villamael creates the likeness of an Eden gone wild in "Locus Amoenus," an installation of an overgrown fauna in paper-cut outs made out of cartographic prints of the Philippines, dating as far back from colonial-era maps made by conquistadors.
CNN Philippines Life sat down with Singapore Biennale's co-curatorial head Joyce Toh to talk about her work with Filipino artists and how they relate to the Biennale along with the rest of artists from the region.
For the selection of this year's Filipino artists for the Biennale, I heard you ventured outside Manila...
I think the great thing about my job it allows me to go outside of Manila. Like Gregory, his home is in Cavite. In the last Biennale I was also going to places like Mindanao or to Baguio. In a way it really allows me to get out to the different parts of the Philippines — and that life is beyond Manila as well.
Gregory Halili, "Karagatan (The Breadth of Oceans)." Photo courtesy of the SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM
How different was the batch here from the other batches that were in the last Biennale?
That question is a little bit tricky because we tend to look at the particular artist or the proposal that they give to us and how well it resonates or kind of responds to the theme. I think in the last Biennale, we were making more of an effort to go outside Manila.
I would say that beyond the metropolitan centers — what's important with us, always, is how well a particular artwork is going to resonate with the particular theme or title of this work. So in this case, what we did was with the brief I invited a number of artists and I spoke to them and they gave us proposals. Then we brought them in for the curator workshop, we presented it and then shortlisting and selection from there.
Were there specific things you were looking for to fit the theme this year?
I think I was looking for a range of different perspectives or ways to capture the work. And then also by way of maybe forms and practices as well. So, for example we've got a wonderful painting from Patty Eustaquio and we know that the Philippines is very very strong in painting, but at the same time I wanted to make sure that we could represent different forms. For example with Dex, he's much more of a street artist. It is painting as well, but a much more public manner. And then from Martha [Atienza] we have a much more — it's a sound and video installation. Then from Gregory [Halili], it's painting but on a much more miniature scale and very specific material and medium. Ryan [Villamael] is paper cutting. I think it's important for me that when you look at the works collectively, they will still be able to encapsulate the richness and the diversity of art practices, of contemporary art practices in the Philippines.
I noticed that some of the things in the Biennale intersect. Like with Ryan Villamael's and Qiu Zhijie's installation with the glass animals and fictional maps ("One Has to Wander through All the Outer Worlds to Reach the Innermost Shrine at the End").
Dex Fernandez, "I Wander, I Wonder." Photo courtesy of the SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM
For me, it's actually one of the really nice aspects of this Biennale. Some of the works might have a similar reference point and unsurprisingly a lot of them refer to maps. But it's how the artist chooses to interpret it that helps us look at it differently. So you can see maybe Qiu Zhijie and Ryan's on a very simple starting point, yes, they both refer to maps or even MAP Office's mirrors. But you see how they are manifested and the end points are very different. With Qiu Zhijie you have a very big mural and all of these are kind of fictitious maps — make believe maps — and he's also using the traditional Chinese ink painting because he is from China. What you have with Ryan is he's referencing historical maps of the Philippines. And then very telling is a lot of these would have been European maps because the Spanish and the European powers were looking to colonize Asia. Ironically, these are European imaginings, European imaginings of Asia. Then of course what Ryan has done is how he's cut into it and has made it into a different life form, which is like a plant that's taking over. So as you see in the end even if the starting point might be similar, the manifestation is different, and in a way that makes us think quite differently.
For me, a lot of times, we all think we know what a map is. It's such a ordinary object, we all have GPS, we all know what a map is. I think through encountering these works like that, maybe triggers or probes us to think a little bit deeper, about what some of these things are, or really, what are maps? Who draws the maps? When was this map [made]? Maps, in a way, are kind of reality, and then you ask whose reality is it? I think that's what they do. Because they show different points of view or how the artist used the material differently, it makes us think about them in a different way.

Viewing all these works from five different artists from the Philippines, do you think there's something that unites them thematically aside from fitting in the theme of the Biennale?
I would say the sense of history and culture is very strong. [These are] themes and interests that course through the works of the artists here. I think [there's] an interest [on] what's happening with marginalized or communities that have been disenfranchised. So, for example, with Dex's work and also with Gregory's work, because he's working with people that live in coastal communities. History is also a big part of it. We see with Ryan's work, and then also with Patty's, she's going into the history of what nature is like, because she goes with this particular orchid. It's actually endangered in Palawan now and maybe you could find it more commonly before, and that's not so much the case anymore.
Was there something you discovered along the way working with these artists in the context of how they are side by side with artists from Malaysia, from Indonesia?
I think for a lot of times, we see a lot of works from Southeast Asia, the issues of history are very important and also the sense of connection with one another. Sometimes the artists also tell the stories of other people and kind of bring the experience alive for other people as well. Material and medium are also very important. We see that material carries a lot of meaning with a lot of artists in Southeast Asia. Works that use buffalo skin, maybe like clay, or with wood that comes from jackfruit — not just any wood — and like with Gregory [he used] mother of pearl. So, again material seems to hold a special importance with a lot of works that we see in Southeast Asian artists.
The Singapore Biennale runs from October 27, 2016 to February 26, 2017. Visit the website for more details.

BOSTON - A former Brimfield man was convicted today in U.S. District Court in Springfield of falsifying information on a loan application.
Jeffrey Dodge, 53, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to bank fraud and false statement on a loan application.
Between June 2006 and November 2006, Dodge supplied false information and false documents to Bank of America while applying for a government-guaranteed mortgage loan. Dodge falsely stated that he had not been foreclosed upon when in fact he had, just months earlier, after defaulting on another government mortgage loan.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 14, 2013. The maximum sentence under the statutes is 30 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release and a $1 million fine on each count.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Inspector General. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alex J. Grant and Michelle L. Dineen Jerrett of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Unit.


When it comes to present giving whether it be for Christmas or otherwise, I always think of items I can make. Besides giving gifts of meals I produce issues out of recycled clothing. Consider denim jeans, instead of tossing them out when they get a small worn, I conserve them. I clean them. reduce absent the parts that are hopeless and salvage the good parts.
The smaller streams will mostly create smaller trout with the odd big 1 thrown in just to keep you coming back. The smaller streams provide a fantastic place to attempt some fly fishing for brook trout. For brook trout flies mainly dry and moist flies will provide you nicely. Now if you are looking for a globe document brook trout you most likely will have to fish the larger lakes and rivers.
Both redwood and whitewood are utilized for common building the world over, they are less expensive than hardwood and most importantly they are each readily accessible in locations associated with the log cabin industry.
In the early many years you can have the outside of the playhouse reflect becoming a gingerbread home, a palace, a Cabin log. Listen to your kids as they will assist you as to what they want the outside of their playhouse to be.
These houses are produced of wood, which is a self renewing all-natural source. Utilizing wood is a lot less harmful to the environment than other materials that are used on the marketplace and has turn out to be extremely well-liked because of to this reality. You will discover wood is extremely easy to work with and it also has a density that tends to make it ideal for strength and load bearing.
On our way to the lake we came on a mother bear with 3 cubs walking down the road. This is not that unusual though it is fairly common to see wildlife along these roads. We only seen the bears for a 2nd, because as we rounded the bend they rapidly disappeared into the woods.
Log house stain is usually applied with a brush or sprayer. Spraying is very best paired with vigorous horizontal back again brushing to make sure that the stain is worked into the wood. As soon as the initial layer has properly dried, a second layer of stain is usually recommended. Some professionals recommend including a layer of polyurethane coating to additional shield the log surface area.

Rojava. A revolution that's working? #rojava #revolution #democraticconfederalism
Rojava. A revolution that's working?
"A small key can open a large door."
Tonight I heard about Rojava for the first time. What I was told was that an area of Syria had become an unofficial free region*, using a political system which they called "Democratic Confedaralism". This meant that nobody was completely in charge, all leadership positions were taken by two people and regularly rotated, and it is an area where gender equality is welcomed, championed, and respected. Also they give unconditional asylum to all seeking it.
It is an alternative to the two extremes we are usually force fed – democratic capitalism that encourages us to eat each other and compete for cash at the sacrifice of our humanity and ecology. Or the other extreme, the form of communism that forces everyone to be equal but equally poor at the expense of humanity and freedom. They (whoever 'they' are, I'd say 'The Archons' but essentially there's no independent nature, ask me about it) they may want you to believe these are our only choices. There are lots of choices, lots of other options. Proportional representation would be a nice start for England I think, just a point of view. There are lots and lots and lots of other options. Democratic Confedaralism appears to be one of them.
Rojava seem to be a story of people who used to kill each other working together under a new political system that's actually working and creating a new progressive culture. I got excited. It's a long time since politics got me excited. Even Corbyn didn't get me excited, just worried that he might be another liar (that old Fabian Society shaped cloud over his and Russel Brands heads) and worried that if he's not a liar he might get assassinated before he says anything too true. But I digress (alot), I got excited about Rojava and vowed to go home, investigate and share what I find.
Here is some of what I found…
"The battle over Kobani, which began in the summer of 2014, has brought to the world's attention the Kurdish resistance to the brutal forces that call themselves Islamic State (IS or ISIS). Contrary to the expectations of many, the defense forces have succeeded in fending off the attacks not only of ISIS, but also the al-Nusra Front and the Assad regime over the last two and a half years. Less well known, however, is the fact that residents of the predominantly Kurdish areas of northern and northeastern Syria have established themselves as a new political entity they call Rojava, comprising three autonomous cantons, one of which is Kobani. There they have undertaken, to all appearances, a social and political revolution, characterized by remarkable efforts towards gender liberation and direct democratic self-government."
http://roarmag.org/2015/01/statement-academic-delegation-rojava/
"The Rojava Revolution has probably made more concrete progress towards libertarian socialism than any other large-scale struggle at least since the Zapatista insurrection. For this reason alone it is important to engage with this struggle to support the most revolutionary elements of it and to hold it up as an international example of what the self-activity of the popular classes can accomplish."
http://www.anarchistnews.org/content/our-perspectives-and-tasks-revolution-rojava
"In the past 33 years, the Kurdish freedom struggle, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and its leader, Abdullah Öcalan, have not only reacted to social changes but shaped them and proposed further steps in the direction of a liberated society. "
http://new-compass.net/articles/revolution-rojava
"…the media attention was often selective and partial. The very essence of the political project in Rojava (Western Kurdistan) went unreported and Western journalists generally preferred to present the resistance in Kobani as an inexplicable exception to the supposed barbarism of the Middle East. Unsurprisingly, the victorious flag of the YPG/YPJ brandishing the iconic red star was not a pleasing image to the eyes of the Western powers. The autonomous cantons of Rojava represent a homegrown solution to the conflicts in the Middle East, focusing on gender equality, environmental sustainability and horizontal democratic processes including all different ethnic and social groups, while simultaneously resisting the terror from ISIS and rejecting both liberal democracy and capitalist modernity. "
http://roarmag.org/2015/02/chiapas-rojava-zapatista-kurds/
*I originally called it an "unofficial Free State" but was advised, "I would maybe leave away the phrasing 'free state' because Rojava tries not to be a state".

Don't wait for COI, act on these three issues now
Home NewsFeatured News
By Vignesh Naidu
There are three areas that need urgent attention in the aftermath of the Little India riot. And these actions need not wait for the findings of the Committee of Inquiry to be out.
A couple of weeks ago I learnt about the tragic passing of a 25-year-old in a traffic accident. The deceased was close to a dear friend's girlfriend. This is not the first time I have personally known someone whose life has been tragically cut short by a traffic accident.
Singapore is a dense city. Despite the government's policies to reduce vehicle ownership rates, traffic jams are still a very common occurrence. Efforts have been made to improve our roads and increase the island's road network. Despite these efforts many of our roads are still congested.
A change of mindset is needed when we drive. Many of us are under immense stress and sometimes that stress boils over into road rage. We are always in a rush and it is more common to find someone refusing to give way than be courteous. James May of BBC's Top Gear has for many years argued that if one were to adopt a "Christian-style of motoring" they would arrive at their destination no later than those who drive as though their hair's on fire.
On the roads, let us do onto others what we would like others to do unto us.
Many commentators have speculated as to why the rioters on Sunday targeted their anger and violence towards the first responders. A couple of days before the riot, the Singapore Police Force announced the automation of a few of their neighbourhood posts in a pilot project. It is good that that police are embracing technology. This can lead to a reduced need for manpower for routine tasks and reduce operating cost in the long run.
When I was talking to my parents and friends from their generation they shared a very different view of policing in Singapore of the old. Almost all of them knew someone who was in the force. Police officers could regularly be found at neighborhood coffee shops and hawker centres talking to and interacting with residents. These officers were seen in plain clothes and also in uniforms. Not many of my friends have similar interactions with police officers.
In Little India the authorities have employed auxiliary officers to patrol the area during Sundays. This is intended to provide a deterrent to potential troublemakers. The officers also conduct spot checks. Maybe it is time for a more soft-handed approach when dealing with these transient workers.
Firstly, the police officer would now not just have to police Singaporeans who have been raised and educated in a similar fashion but with those from different communities. These immigrants may have different perceptions with regards to the police. It would be good if the police force train officers who have a good understanding of their different backgrounds and possibly even speak their languages.
I believe it maybe time for the police to return to more old-school community policing, the kind my parents experienced in their youth. Maybe the police could appoint some officers whose main job is to interact with the different communities. These officers are then not only viewed as enforcers but also as friends one can turn to when needed.
I visit Little India at least once a week for my fix of fish head curry and sugar-laden tea. I have noticed that the number of stalls selling alcohol, particularly cheap beer, has increased exponentially in the last few years. The Serangoon Road area has 374 establishments selling alcohol. It just seems one too many. From as far back as I can remember there have been a few stores in Little India that sell a variety of alcohol. These stores are conveniently labelled as liquor stores and sell alcohol cheaper than almost anywhere else.
The authorities believe that the excessive consumption of alcohol was a contributing factor to Sunday's riot. They have imposed a ban on the sale of alcohol in Little India this coming weekend. This ban not only affects stores patronized by foreign workers but also higher end restaurants that are frequented by tourists This ban, though temporary, will have an effect on the revenue of many stores and may affect Singapore's international reputation.
I think that the ban maybe a little too late. It would be like sticking a band aid on a gaping wound. The problem is that there are too many stores in Little India that depend on the sale of cheap alcohol to foreign workers on Sundays as their main source of revenue. It is going to be a challenge to revoke licences that have already been granted. These stores are owned by fellow Singaporeans who are simply trying to make living.
I would propose that the licensing policy be changed. The authorities could mandate that only a certain number of stalls can sell alcohol within a certain area. The government could even auction off these licences which would have the double effect of increasing the government's revenues and ensuring that alcohol is not priced too low.
The riot was certainly a shock to many of us. I never would have thought that I would have seen a riot like that in Singapore during my lifetime. The police and the committee of inquiry will carry out the necessary investigations and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. Yet as average Singaporeans there is a lot we can learn from the riot. I do hope that the tragic incident will be a learning lesson for us and galvanize us to make our little island a better place for everyone.

Q: GO - net/http - how to get request string and method Using the net/http i want a way to get the current request string and the method i.e. GET, POST, PUT etc.
Is this possible - i cant see it in the docs

A: In the docs, start from http://golang.org/pkg/net/http and follow the "type Request" link to http://golang.org/pkg/net/http#Request.  Everything you need is available as a field or method of Request.
For example, the HTTP method is Request.Method.  The path and query parameters are in Request.URL.Path and Request.URL.Query(), respectively.
http.HandleFunc("/bar", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "%s %q", r.Method, html.EscapeString(r.URL.Path))
})

log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))

A: You can use the following fields of the Request struct:
Method string
and
RequestURI string
I suggest you to look at the source code of the struct: Request struct source code
You can access it by clicking on the struct name in the go doc for the net/http package.

A: Yes you can.  all of that data is available inside of the HttpRequest.  If you look in the Request.HttpMethod you will see the method (ie Get).  You also have access to the header information if needed as well.  depending on what you are doing, the FilePath, Path and several other properties will provide you with the data that has been posted.

A: Request Related Info you can get it using: r.Method [to get method as string] (for others https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Request)
Request URL Related Info you can get it using: r.URL.Query() [to get query params as map], r.URL.Path [to get path as string] (for others check https://golang.org/pkg/net/url/#URL)
Feel free to msg if you need anything specific.

Upper Rogue Independent: Chiropractic & massage center opening in Eagle Point
Chiropractic & massage center opening in Eagle Point
By Margaret Bradburn
For the Independent
Published May 24,2011
Five years ago, Dr. Thaddeus Gala came home to the Upper Rogue after graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. Today, Gala is completing the final details of his Eagle Point health center, Complete Care Chiropractic and Massage, projected to open in mid-June. As the 1999 Eagle Point High School graduate pointed out during a tour, he has gone full circle and is happy to be back in Eagle Point where he spent much of his youth.
While building his practice after college, Gala shared the offices of Dr. Bob Bennett at Shady Cove Chiropractic. In chiropractic college and in Shady Cove, Gala saw the value of taking the whole body approach to health that includes complete physical, social and mental or emotional well-being.
Because of that, Gala's clinic will include a nurse practitioner, Julie Bogden, a mental health counselor, Ruth Anne Alexander and a massage therapist, Sarah Reynolds-Gordon. The group offers complete care under one roof, a concept reflected in the name thought up by office manager, Megan Jones.
The clinic has the latest in X-ray equipment. DMX, a digital, motion X-ray machine takes pictures of moving body parts to pinpoint causes of motion related injuries. It is a video fluoroscopy that allows the doctor to view the painful or damaged area in real-time motion. The TV series, Bones, recently showed a DMX during an episode, said Gala.
The building has 4,500 sq. ft. with 2,700 sq. ft. for the clinic and 1,800 sq. ft. available for lease. The environmentally conscious Gala used as much green technology as he could to minimize the impact on the environment. The end result is a low R rating of around 42 to 45. "It has been great working with Batzer Construction. We came up with some really neat ideas that neither of us would have come up with entirely on our own," Gala enthused.
Utilities are a key factor. Walls of 12-in thick SIP (structural insulated panels); extra insulation in the ceiling, solar panels on the roof and triple-paned windows will keep heating and cooling costs down. The thickness of the windows will also keep highway and other noises to a minimum, said Gala.
Daylight sensors on overhead lights will brighten and dim in response to available natural light from the many windows that overlook pretty vistas. Solar tubes over the reception desk, in bathrooms and hallways also lower utility costs. The bathrooms, even on a dark rainy day, have sufficient illumination for minimal use of lighting.
The bathrooms feature low-flow toilets with dual-flush, giving the option of using less water to lower the impact on water and sewer services.

With good health at the heart of his vocation, Gala designed the clinic to be ergonomic. The reception area and Jones' office have counter tops at standing height. Gala said standing is so much healthier than sitting. "When you are standing during the day there is a much higher tendency to be moving and active and burn more calories. We tried to make the clinic healthy all around," Gala said. For those times when needed, however, there will be stools to sit on.
The clinic is unique in that there will not only be three closed therapy rooms but open treatment areas, as well, to serve patients desiring privacy or those who prefer a non- medical room approach, said Gala.
An area in the front will feature a large-screened TV for videos, evening health lectures, couples massage classes and more. Education is the big key. "Being healthy takes work," Gala pointed out. When patients are healthy and pain free they will enjoy life much more. "We are here as their coach, not their critic," he stressed. "The thing that fills my cup is when a patient has an 'ah ha' moment, when the light bulb goes on, during a lecture or when talking with them. To me that's what it is all about." Gala also mentioned satisfaction when a patient in pain crawls into the office and after treatment leaves doing jumping jacks (a slight overstatement).
While Gala was explaining clinic features, gardeners were seen outside planting trees and shrubs to give a welcoming ambience. The enticing landscape was designed by EZ'S Landscape & Construction, LLC. Owner Israel Figueroa was also the general contractor of the new Centennial Plaza in Eagle Point. A Red Sunset Maple, a Magnolia tree, a large bank of pink creeping phlox, Stella D'Oro daylilies, holly and many other varieties of ornamental shrubs are sure to offer beauty year-round.
Opening his own clinic with complete care all under one roof is a dream come true for Thaddeus Gala. He gives credit to his patients for necessitating the move to larger quarters. Gala said, "We have been blessed that enough people trusted in us with their health. It is the community that enabled us to open this clinic." The clinic is at 1296 S. Shasta Avenue. For more information call 541-830-4325.

Der Steinkopf bei Wüstensachsen ist ein  hoher Berg vulkanischen Ursprungs in der Rhön. Der Bereich um den Steinkopf ist ein ökologisch hochwertiger Bereich, daher streng geschützt und naturbelassen. Am Berg gibt es feuchte und magere Bergwiesen, die als Hochweide genutzt werden.

Geographie

Geographische Lage
Der Gipfel des Steinkopfs befindet sich in Hessen, im Landkreis Fulda, 2,7 km südöstlich von Wüstensachsen, dem Hauptort der Gemeinde Ehrenberg. Rund 500 m östlich verläuft die Grenze  zum Landkreis Rhön-Grabfeld in Bayern.  Entlang dieser Grenze stoßen auch die Naturparks Hessische Rhön und Bayerische Rhön aneinander.
Der Steinkopf ist eine Kernzone im Biosphärenreservat Rhön. Im westlich des Bergs gelegenen Tal befindet sich im Rahmen eines Naturschutzgebiets der quellnahe Oberlaufbereich der Ulster. Auf seiner Südostflanke verläuft die Hochrhönstraße. Nachbarberge sind der Stirnberg im Nordosten sowie der Heidelstein im Süden.

Naturraum
Der Steinkopf gehört zum Naturraum Lange Rhön (Gliederungs-Nummer 354.11), der Teil der Haupteinheit Hohe Rhön (Nr. 354) in der Haupteinheitengruppe Osthessisches Bergland (Nr. 35) ist.

Wasserscheide
Über den Steinkopf verläuft die Rhein-Weser-Wasserscheide. Das Wasser der kurzen Bäche, die vom Berg in Richtung Westen, Nordwesten und Norden verlaufen, fließt über die Ulster in den östlichen Weser-Quellfluss Werra. Jenes des an seiner Ostflanke entspringenden Oberelsbacher Grabens verläuft über Bahra, Streu, Fränkische Saale und Main in den Rhein. Die südöstlich am nahe gelegenen Heidelstein entspringende Els (Elsbach), die unter anderem auch von wenigen vom Steinkopf kommenden Bächen gespeist wird, mündet in die Streu, womit er auch zum Rhein-Einzugsgebiet gehört.

Geologie

Der Gipfel des Steinkopfs bildet einen ca. 15 Meter breiten und 50 Meter langen, von Südost nach Nordwest orientierten Felsgrat, von dem nach Nordosten eine steile Blockhalde abgeht. Dieser Bereich innerhalb des Naturschutzgebiets ist als schutzwürdiger Geotop erfasst. Aufgebaut ist der Gipfel des Steinkopfs aus Feldspatbasalt, der auf der Süd- und auf der Nordostseite von Nephelinbasalt (in moderner Nomenklatur ein Nephelin-Basanit) umgeben ist. Nördlich des Steinkopfs, im Tal des Heuwiesen-Wassers zwischen Steinkopf und Stirnberg steht der auf eine ältere vulkanische Phase zurückgehende Phonolith an (in der Geologischen Karte von 1909 und der Erläuterung dazu noch als Dolerit bezeichnet). Der Steinkopf ist ein westlicher Vorsprung der aus mehreren sich überlagernden Basaltdecken (Deckenergüsse, entstanden als Lavaströme) etwas unterschiedlichen Alters aufgebauten Langen Rhön. Am Steinkopf selbst ist ein durch Erosion freigelegter Förderschlot erkennbar. Am Steinkopf überlagern die basaltischen Gesteine, über einer geringmächtigen Tuffsteinlage, direkt die mesozoischen Sedimentgesteine des Muschelkalk, der am Süd- und Westhang ansteht. Tertiäre Sedimente sind, anders als etwa an der Wasserkuppe, nicht vorhanden. Die basischen Ergussgesteine der Langen Rhön wurden überwiegend vor 22 bis 18 Millionen Jahren, bei Detailuntersuchungen mit Schwerpunkt vor 20 bis 18 Millionen Jahren, also im älteren Miozän, abgelagert. Später wurden sie bei der großräumigen Hebung des Rhönschilds um mehrere Hundert Meter angehoben und dadurch in den höheren Lagen abgetragen, so dass eigentliche Vulkanbauten erodiert und nicht mehr vorhanden sind. Direkte Altersbestimmungen für die Gesteine des Steinkopfs liegen nicht vor.

Flora und Fauna

Aufgrund seiner exponierten Lage, seiner großen Unberührtheit und seiner engen Verzahnung verschiedener, rhöntypischer Waldgesellschaften und Gesteinshalden ist der Steinkopf ein wichtiger Standort für seltene Tier- und Pflanzenarten mit zum Teil überregionaler Bedeutung. Die Erforschung ist noch nicht abgeschlossen, es werden Relikte eiszeitlicher Besiedelung vermutet.

Die Blockschutthalde der nahen Gipfelregion ist überwiegend mit Sommerlinden-Berg-Ahorn-Hang- beziehungsweise Blockschuttwald, die sonstigen Bereiche mit Zahnwurz-Buchenwald bedeckt; der übrige Bergkuppenbereich ist überwiegend unbewaldet und dient als Hutefläche. Besonders hervorzuheben sind seltene Moose und Flechten.

Der Steinkopf ist Lebensraum für Waldschnepfe, Kuckuck und Sperber. Als seltene Tagfalterarten sind Kaisermantel, Milchfleck und Braunauge zu nennen. Als Schnecken sind Keulige und Graue Schließmundschnecke nachgewiesen. Spalten und Aushöhlungen alter Bäume sind idealer Lebensraum für Kleintiere wie Spechte, Fledermäuse und Wildbienen.

An seltenen Pflanzen finden z. B. sich die Felsen-Traubenkirsche, der gelbblühende Wolfs-Eisenhut, der Alpen-Milchlattich, die breitblättrige Glockenblume und der Märzenbecher. An den Felsen und Steinblöcken wächst beispielsweise ein Laubmoos, das sonst nur noch in den Alpen und im Südschwarzwald vorkommt.

Pflegeplan

Biosphärenreservat-Kernzone
Die am Steinkopf gelegenen Kernzone des Biosphärenreservats Rhön ist ein so genannter "Trittstein" zwischen den benachbarten Kernzonen Stirnberg (Norden), Kesselrain (am Heidelstein; Süden) und Schafstein (Nordwesten), wobei der Schafstein mit 4,3 km (Luftlinie) am weitesten vom Steinkopf entfernt ist.

Der Pflegeplan für diese Kernzone sieht einen Pufferstreifen rund um das Schutzgebiet zur Hute hin vor, um den Eintrag von Dünger und sonstigen Stoffen zu verhindern. Es wird versucht, die schwer zugängliche, aber dennoch für den Natur- und Landschaftsschutz bedeutsame Fläche zu nutzen und auf Dauer zu erhalten.

Grünland-Projekt am Steinkopf
Das Projekt "Grünlandschutz und Landschaftsentwicklung durch großflächige Beweidung", kurz: Grünland-Projekt des Biosphärenreservats Rhön, soll neben der Landschaftspflege die Wirtschaftlichkeit klein strukturierter Landwirtschaftsbetriebe erhöhen. Projektträger ist die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rhön mit den Landkreisen, gefördert wird es außerdem durch die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt und der Zoologischen Gesellschaft Frankfurt (ZGF).

Verschiedene Landwirte bilden seit Frühjahr 2006 eine Weidegemeinschaft und wollen am Steinkopf etwa 110 Hektar gemeinsam mit etwa 90 Kühen und 80 Kälbern bewirtschaften. Hinzu kommt noch die Beweidung mit Rhönschafen und Ziegen. Ziel ist, dass die Tiere die Weideperiode über auf der Fläche verbleiben. Hierdurch könnte die fortschreitende Verbuschung des naturschutzrelevanten Gebiets am Steinkopf der Vergangenheit angehören.

UPDATE OCTOBER 2017: The science of power poses is one of ongoing study. Please check our update on Amy Cuddy's talk for the latest research in this area of science.
There's one very important thing that everyone should do before heading into a job interview, giving a big speech or attempting an athletic feat. According to Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist at Harvard Business School, everyone should spend two minutes power posing. What, you ask, is power posing? It is adopting the stances associated with confidence, power and achievement — chest lifted, head held high, arms either up or propped on the hips.
As Cuddy explains in this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, both humans and animals express power through their bodies. They tumble in on themselves when they feel unsure, making themselves smaller by hunching over, crossing their arms over their chest and avoiding big movements. When they feel on top of the world, they sprawl out. Cuddy wondered—could adopting these postures change a person's internal state and make them feel more powerful?
Cuddy, along with her collaborator Dana Carney of Berkeley, ran an experiment in which people were directed to adopt either high-power or low-power poses for two minutes. Then they were asked if they wanted to gamble. Cuddy and Carney found that 86% of those who posed in the high-power position opted to gamble, while only 60% of the low-power posers felt comfortable taking a roll of the dice. But even more interesting — there were physiological differences between the two groups, as shown by saliva samples. While high-power posers showed an 8% increase in testosterone, low-power posers had a 10% decrease in the hormone. Meanwhile, the inverse relationship happened with cortisol, the hormone related to stress. While high-power posers experienced a 25% decrease in cortisol levels, low-power posers had a 15% increase in their stress levels.
"Our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Our bodies change our minds," says Cuddy.
To hear Cuddy's powerful story of how power posing helped her get her own life on track, watch her talk. Below, hear stories of how power posing has worked for others, as told to Cuddy through emails and online comments.
Want to know more? Read about Cuddy's latest research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which shows that leaders tend to have lower cortisol levels. As Cuddy explains to the U.S. News and World Report, this relationship is mediated by their overall sense of having control over their lives, from the mundane to the significant.

The Burger Brewing Company was an American brewery based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and one of the staple breweries of the region through the 1960s. At the company's peak, it was deeply associated with the Cincinnati Reds and then broadcaster Waite Hoyt through marketing campaigns. Bürger Classic and Bürger Light were brought back to local ownership in 2009 and are now owned by the Christian Moerlein Brewing Company.

History

Early history
Brothers Charles and Louis Burger had been in the malting business in Cincinnati after immigrating from Germany. Opening their company, Burger Brothers Malting Company in 1880, it was family run for decades. Once Prohibition ended the company, now led by president W.J. Huster, felt it was time to directly enter the brewing business. In 1934, Burger would begin to occupy the former Lion Brewery on Central Parkway, which was originally owned and operated by the Windisch-Muhlhauser Brewery. The first beers the company would produce would be under the Burger and Buckeye brand names as well as a Red Lion Ale as a nod to its brewery's predecessor. After a legal battle with the Buckeye brand name, it was dropped as was Red Lion in favor of Burger's own ale. By 1942, fewer than ten years after the founding of the brewery, Burger produced 460,000 barrels and was the 28th largest brewery in the United States.

World War II
The war would prevent the brewery from capitalizing on its success with expansion. The brewery also distanced itself from its German heritage in marketing due to anti-German hysteria. The brewery would remove the umlaut from its name and removed a Germanic character from the label of its Burger Brau beer. Fortunately, the brewery was one of roughly forty brands that was permitted to ca beer for shipment to military personnel.

Post-war growth
After World War II, the advent of television along with use of radio in marketing presented challenges for Burger. The company now faced competition outside of the Cincinnati region from brands such as Schlitz, Pabst, and Anheuser-Busch. The brewery undertook a number of upgrades and expansion upon the facility to keep pace with others, doubling its capacity to one million barrels. The company also added a new 300,000 squarest bottling and shipping building nearby. This expansion was met with success as output by 1951 was 710,000 barrels sold, good enough for second largest in Cincinnati. Burger also was unique, in that the company brewed Munich's own Löwenbräu under contract after WWII.

It was also during this time, that Burger became the sponsor of the Cincinnati Reds radio broadcasts. This would last from 1942, when broadcaster Waite Hoyt was hired, until 1965. Many Reds fans became familiar with Hoyt exclaiming during a home run at Crosley Field that the ball was, "Headed for Burgerville!" Despite dealing with a lifelong battle with alcoholism, Hoyt was the most valuable part of Burger's marketing success. Broadcast on over 27 networks across Burger's core market, the "Burger Beer Network" as Hoyt referred to it, helped Burger keep its market position for years.

After enough time had past, the company began to return aspects of its German past to its products. The slogan, "Vas you ever in Zinzinnnati?" returned in the 1950s as the company began to stress Cincinnati's brewing heritage compared to Milwaukee and St. Louis. The old style bavarian character also returned to the Burger Brau brand.

In 1956, Burger purchased the Burkhart Brewing Company in Akron for $2 million. This expansion allowed Burger to grow its capacity and compete better in the Cleveland and Detroit markets. It also distinguished Burger as the only Cincinnati brewery to expand outside of the region. However, by 1964 it was no longer financially effective to maintain this additional brewery, and Burger closed the facility.

Hard-times and sale
By the mid-1960s competition from national rivals began to catch up to Burger. Increased marketing and distribution from other breweries forced Burger to spend more and more on marketing to stay relevant. Additionally, costly upgrades to equipment and facilities were necessary, which further harmed the profitability of the company. In 1965, the brewery added Bohemian Tap Beer, which proved to be popular. Unfortunately, this was not enough and in a move to maintain profitability the company purchased four Pepsi-Cola bottling plants around the country.

The final mistake made by the company was changing its water source. In 1968, the brewery switched to using water from a well under the property from city water. Despite the spin to a beer made with, "artesian spring water" the change in taste proved to be unpopular with the public, with sales in Cincinnati dropping 14 percent. The company never rebounded and by 1973 its assets were sold to rival Hudepohl Brewing Company.

Under new management

Hudepohl would buy the brands of Burger for $650,000 at the time of sale. The company would introduce Burger Light in 1980 and when Hudepohl merged with Schoenling in 1986 much of the landscape of brewing had changed in Cincinnati and across the US. After Hudepohl-Schoenling sold its brewery to the Boston Beer Company in 1997, Burger continued to be brewed at the facility until 2001. From 2001 to 2004 Burger was brewed under contract in LaCrosse, Wisconsin by City Brewing Company. During this time, Burger was reformulated and renamed as Bürger Classic, returning the long since absent umlaut.

Eventually the Hudepohl-Schoenling brands were purchased by Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. and on May 29, 2009 Bürger Classic and Bürger Light were officially relaunched at an event hosted at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. As of 2020, the beer is brewed under contract by the Latrobe Brewing Company.

What is a good way in RSD to build an album of images containing pages of thumbnails with active links to full-sized images?
I've played with Arles Image software in the past. Is that similar?
It all depends on your needs and the look you want. You want responsive images still even at full size so colorbox is one way.
Thank you, Eric. You're always very helpful. But how do I install it?
I would download the examples and use the code that does what you like. You can see an example on my work site that I just updated. http://esmansgreenhouse.com . Click on one of the 4 Inch wave sub headers then click one of the types in the list.
I've never fiddled with jquery, so I have a lot of reading to do.

Just a simple page I setup for Legions. We've hit the front page a few times, though I'm not sure how that has affected traffic to this website or in-game.
It does have a downloads section where you can upload stuff(rets, soundpacks, maps, etc), though an account is required.

Good marketing plan. Need more things like this, (Plus a trailer).
A new (mainly 1.40) trailer is being planned, which will require some community involvement. Pop has some other advertising ideas as well.
well that's great, cuz i've been wanting a proper advertisement of the game to come out for me to show others, but i've had to show gameplay videos which... is...ok... too?
Well I can't 100% confirm anything, but he'd basically need a few videos clips from players in a pub/pug. Keep in mind that it'd be a trailer, so recording for 15-20 minutes isn't really necessary. Just a video showing some nice gameplay. Ideally the video should be at least 1280x720 at 30fps, but higher is of course better. Anything lower wouldn't really be accepted.
Who is putting the trailer together? I'd be happy to lend my help with the editing/music choice .
Probably Pop, or whoever did the 1.40 trailer.
It was Poponfu ft. Jordan.
I guess I'd consider this a grassroots effort of sorts, so the more people that 'follow' this page and rate the game, the better. Bear in mind that you'll have to wait a week until voting.
I can gief some scrub gameplay footage.

Coronavirus: Health funds start taking vaccination appointments
Netanyahu, Edelstein to inoculate against coronavirus Saturday night at Sheba Medical Center

The beginning of what will hopefully be the end of the war against COVID-19 will begin on Saturday night when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein are vaccinated.
The next morning, medical personnel across the country will be able to be inoculated, too.
Hospitals and health funds have begun preparations for the vaccination campaign, with the goal of getting as many people jabbed in as little time as possible. If vaccine deliveries and administration go as planned, the general public could start getting vaccinated as early as the end of this month or the beginning of January.
"The vaccine will be a game-changer," Dr. Anat Angel, the head of Wolfson Medical Center, told The Jerusalem Post. She added that around 70% of the population would need to get vaccinated to create herd immunity and this could take several months or even a year, so it is important to get started and for medical personnel to get vaccinated and set an example.
According to her, around 30% of staff have already signed up to get jabbed, but she expects many more to take part. She said 75% of staff was inoculated against influenza and the percentage is expected to be similar for coronavirus.
Around 70% of staff has already agreed to be vaccinated at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, 68% at Emek Medical Center in Afula and more than 50% at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, The Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson and Rambam Health Care Campus, Channel 12 revealed.
After medical personnel on Sunday, people over the age of 60 will be eligible for vaccination through their local health funds.
On Thursday afternoon, the health funds already began taking appointments for their elderly clients.
Maccabi said that the first vaccines would be given out on Monday, December 21 and appointments were available for next week. Each patient must book two appointments in advance for the two doses of the vaccine. The first dose will be given now and then the second one 21 days later. Only after being inoculated with two doses is a person considered immune.
Two hours after appointments started being taken, the Maccabi phone line collapsed from overcrowding. The fund responded that it "welcomes the huge number of people calling to book an appointment" and that it was this influx of calls that caused the system to crash.
Some 3,000 people made appointments through Maccabi in the first few hours.
Maccabi has said it can vaccinate around 25,000 people per day on weekdays. The vaccines will first be administered in 24 complexes throughout the country and gradually expand to more than 300 stations at 80 complexes. Appointments can be made via phone as of Thursday and soon through the health fund's website and application.
"Today, when the State of Israel has exceeded 3,000 deaths as a result of coronavirus and has a significant increase in morbidity, it is absolutely clear that the vaccine is critical to protect our health and those around us," said Maccabi CEO Ran Saar. He said that he would be the first at his fund to be vaccinated.
The Leumit health fund also announced the launch of its campaign, which it said would begin with employees through December 23.
Clalit's nurses will coordinate appointments for those ensured through its health fund and notify them via text message.
Meuhedet also said it would start taking appointments and on Thursday night it sent a message to members explaining that "in the next few days, Meuhedet will start its vaccination campaign. The vaccines are safe to take and the Health Ministry recommends you get vaccinated. According to the guidelines of the Health Ministry, target populations will be vaccinated first. We will inform our eligible clients and we will contact them to schedule an appointment for vaccination."
Aside from Maccabi's 300 vaccination stations, Clalit is expected to establish around 400 stations and to vaccinate around 40,000 people a day.
Leumit said it would set up 60 vaccination clinics and another four mobile stations. Meuhedet is expected to have 70 clinics offering vaccinations and four mobile stations.
The funds said that citizens have already begun calling them asking to be vaccinated.
As mentioned, hospitals are also preparing to jab their staff.
An invitation to the media was sent by Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, for example, to witness the beginning of the vaccination campaign at their hospital, including the inoculation of former coronavirus commissioner Prof. Ronni Gamzu.
Others who will be vaccinated include Prof. Idit Matot, the hospital's well-known head of the Anesthesia, Pain and Intensive Care division, among other experts.
As noted, Netanyahu and Edelstein will be vaccinated Saturday night at Sheba, making the prime minister one of the first leaders in the world to be vaccinated against the virus.
The prime minister and the health minister, who will launch the vaccination campaign in Israel, will be vaccinated in front of the cameras live, in order to serve as an example and encourage the general public to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The prime minister will be accompanied by his doctor, Dr. Zvi Herman Berkowitz.
In recent days, many others have sought to enlist in the information effort and to set a personal example by being vaccinated. But in a letter from Health Ministry director-general Chezy Levy to hospital heads, he said that while "this is an important response from people who have the power to persuade the citizens of the country and we are grateful to them" they will not be able to be prioritized over the elderly and high-risk people.
"In the very near future we will receive more shipments of vaccines and open the vaccine to more groups," Levy wrote. "Media personalities, celebrities and others – we will be happy to use them to increase public response to get vaccinated."
He added that the Health Ministry's management would also get vaccinated with the rest of the country's medical personnel in order to set an example.
Edelstein lashed out at those he felt were not setting a strong example on Thursday afternoon, accusing Yisrael Beytenu head MK Avigdor Liberman and his party of spreading fake news and encouraging people not to get vaccinated.
"In recent days, there have been cases of the spreading of fake news and calls not to get vaccinated by Yisrael Beytenu MKs," Edelstein wrote on Twitter and Facebook. "I would like to understand from the chairman of the party, Avigdor Liberman, if this is the official position of the party. And, if not, then I ask you to join the efforts to encourage citizens to vaccinate so we can beat this pandemic."
Edelstein's social posts followed an impassioned speech in the Knesset on Wednesday, where he told MKs that if they spread fake news or tell people not to vaccinate, they could cause people to die.
"With all due respect to the spreaders of lies, we are constantly approached by the heads of authorities, celebrities and doctors, who want to set a personal example," the health minister said at the Knesset. "My main mission is to fight fake news in the coming weeks and months.
"If you do not want to get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated," he continued. "But do not discuss things you don't understand or spread lies. This could cause someone who hears this nonsense to not get vaccinated, become sick and possibly even die."
The Pfizer vaccines, several hundred thousand of which have already arrived in Israel, are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and the data has been reviewed carefully by teams of health professionals inside and outside the Health Ministry.
Edelstein said his ministry would provide information about the vaccines to the public and would closely monitor the results and any side effects of those who receive inoculations.
"The people of Israel will not be given any vaccine that we do not trust 100%," he said, noting that he had signed the approval for the coronavirus vaccine to be covered under the Vaccine Victims' Law, which would ensure compensation to anyone harmed by it.
Liberman later responded to Edelstein by saying that the vaccines are not a political issue, but an individual decision.
"Regarding vaccines – there's no such thing as partisan discipline or agreements between parties," Liberman tweeted. "Every person, according to their age, medical condition and doctors' recommendations, will make their own decisions."
Liberman noted that while he intends on getting vaccinated for the virus, he will not tell others how they should act and will not judge anyone for their choices.
Another member of Liberman's party, MK Yulia Malinovsky, addressed a letter to MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, chairwoman of the Knesset's Coronavirus Committee, demanding to make the information relating to the coronavirus vaccines transparent and available to the public.
"Who will be held responsible for damages caused by the vaccine? What populations are more prone to be damaged by the vaccine? Will there be any sanctions or benefits to those who choose to vaccinate?" Malinovsky asked in her letter, which was sent Thursday evening. "The importance of holding a public debate is extremely high, in order to ensure that the information is transparent so that every citizen in Israel can form an opinion after hearing all medical recommendations."
Recall, Israel has signed agreements for 24 million vaccine doses against coronavirus, enough for 12 million people.
To date, it has received around 600,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and more are expected to arrive before the end of the month. Israel also has a contract with Moderna for six million vaccine doses; that vaccine also requires two jabs.
There is also a contract with AstraZeneca for 10 million doses.

Lafayette Spring Game

The No. 2 Lafayette Sooners and Air Force Green Wave have been forced to change venues due to Hurricane Ida, and will meet up in Week 1 at Lafayette Memorial Stadium in Norman, OK. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. ET and the game will air on ABC. The Sooners hope to fulfill championship aspirations this season with presumed No. 1 draft pick Spencer Rattler taking the reins at QB.
Lafayette is a powerhouse in the Big 12, winning the conference in six straight seasons. The Sooners are headed for the SEC soon. Air Force has made three straight bowl games under veteran coach Willie Fritz and will look to keep that streak going. Fritz was mentioned for some Power 5 gigs last offseason.
If you aren't around a TV to watch the game on Saturday, you can stream the game with ABC, WatchESPN or via their mobile apps. But keep in mind that you need a cable-login subscription. If you don't have a cable login to access ABC for a live stream, you can get a free trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Stream, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream the game.
Lafayette is a 31.5-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, and -8000 on the moneyline. That makes Air Force a +2500 underdog, with the point total is set at 67.5.

Saturday's contest will mark the 1,300th in OU history. The Sooners rank fifth in college football history with their .726 all-time winning percentage (917-329-53 record). They trail Ohio State (.730), Alabama (.729), Notre Dame (.728) and Michigan (.727). Since the end of World War II, OU leads all programs with 673 wins (40 more than Alabama, the program with the next most).

It's Friday night football in the ACC as Lafayette takes on Air Force. The No. 10-ranked Tar Heels coming into the 2021 season with high expectations and a blue-chip quarterback in the form of Sam Howell, who is expected to be one of the top picks of the 2022 NFL Draft. Friday's season opener will give fans the first chance to see whether Howell can live up to his billing as one of football's next great passers. The Hokies, on the other hand, have fall toward the back of the pack in the ACC. VT was blanked in the AP rankings and only received votes in this year's coaches poll.
NCAA Game Week 1
All Football game Live free Here
The first Thursday of the 2021 college football season included a buffet of games featuring teams from four of the five major conferences along with one of the highest-profile Group of Five games of the year.
After an extended lightning delay, Central Florida hosted Boise State in the sort of matchup that may linger into December and influence how the College Football Playoff selection committee fills out the New Year's Six bowls.
Thursday night also saw the debut of Tennessee coach Josh Heupel, our first look at heavy Big Ten favorite Ohio State — it wasn't always easy for the Buckeyes — and a glimpse of Utah, a dark horse in the Pac-12.
Here are the winners and losers as Week 1 got underway:
The lesson for Ohio State can be shared with Alabama and Clemson. It's not so easy to roll out of bed with a first-year starting quarterback and go up against a quality opponent without a hiccup along the way. For the Buckeyes, the starting debut of C.J. Stroud was an early struggle: OSU beat Minnesota 45-31 but trailed twice, including a 21-17 deficit more than midway through the third quarter. Stroud, the replacement for Justin Fields, rebounded from a sluggish start to go for 294 yards and four scores, though his receivers did most of the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide and new quarterback Bryce Young get ready for a Week 1 matchup with Miami, while Clemson and DJ Uiagalelei do the same with Georgia.
Is N.C. State a legitimate threat to Clemson in the Atlantic division of the ACC? What about a real contender to win nine or more games during the regular season and find a permanent home in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll? Thursday's 45-0 slaughter of woeful South Florida doesn't do much to influence the narrative surrounding the Wolfpack, who are clearly talented enough to go places but will need consistency from quarterback Devin Leary to take the next step. Leary finished with 232 yards and two scores with an interception.
Josh Heupel
The Heupel era at Tennessee was christened with a 38-6 win against Bowling Green, one of the weakest teams in the MAC. But that doesn't matter: UT is 1-0 under Heupel. After three solid seasons at Central Florida, Heupel was expected to put a jolt into the Volunteers' sleepy offense — and that group looked fine at times, though not effective enough through the air behind new quarterback Joe Milton to resemble the sort of balanced attack that might give a handful of teams in the SEC some trouble. UT did go for 326 yards on the ground, the program's most in a game since Sept. 15, 2018.
Coastal Carolina
No. 24 Coastal Carolina opened with an easy 52-14 win against The Citadel, a predictably lopsided result that begins the Chanticleers' quest to repeat atop the Sun Belt and factor into the race for the New Year's Six. It's also a tune-up for next week's home game against Kansas, if you believe the Jayhawks are any better than The Citadel. (They are, but not by a whole lot.)
