All the rain in YYC has reminded me of fall and has me craving cozy nights in. Documentaries are my favourite part of a cozy night in, especially the films that leave me feeling inspired and tingling with energy. These documentaries are the epitome of that feeling. Trust me, if you haven't seen these you MUST shut yourself in with a bottle of wine, some candles, cozy blankets, and popcorn and binge watch them all!
Grey Gardens. I am going to make a big statement here and say this is my favourite film ever. I've watched it so many times I can't even count. I think it's the fact that 'Little' Eddie doesn't give a s**t what anyone thinks of her. She is who she is - eccentric, constantly bickering with her mother, still wishing she had been famous, and curating each "costume for the day" from clothes that must be decades old. Her creativity, her dysfunctional relationship with her mother, and that house is what makes this film absolute perfection.
Advanced Style. This film stirs the idea of focusing our collective attention on women who have lived their lives, aged gracefully and are now in their 60's/70's/80's/90's and have embraced who are they are - living works of art. What a positive and inspiring shift from the unobtainable perfection of looking forever young. My favourite line from this movie was by Dita Von Tease who said, "..I see my future in these women.." Me too Dita, me too.
Iris Apfel. An artist in the truest sense. This film was actually directed by one of the same directors of Grey Gardens, which in and of itself makes it worth watching. I felt so inspired throughout the duration of this movie. Iris has such a strong sense of self, and possess a stunning collection of fashion, and art, and jewelry and life, and such a beautiful perspective on what it means to live life to the fullest, even at 94.
Finding Vivian Maier. Vivian Maier was a photographer from the 50's who was never famous until a student bought her entire life's worth of unclaimed belongings in a storage unit much after she had passed away. This is the story of her life, and the journey of this amazing discovery. Her photographs capture 1950's Chicago through a stunning and candid eye. You can't help but feel inspired by her amazing perspective.


Maybe there's a more profound meaning behind that trite but true phrase.
If my heart is closed I'm not at home anywhere.
My heart closes when I experience fear in any shape, form or permutation. It's an automatic programmed reaction that I've practiced for a lifetime and honed to a skill. And it has at times served me well. It's protected me and I'm grateful for what I suspect is simply my psyche's intention to keep me safe.
I realized some time ago that closing my heart no longer serves me. Because I no longer need to be protected from myself. I can trust myself to use good judgment in terms of who and what I bring into my life and how I handle what life hands me.
When I remember to stop, breathe, soften my belly and my jaw and my shoulders, and ask myself what feels right in this moment, I intuitively know what to do. And today, more often than not, I choose to do it. Which is huge progress for me.
How much do you trust yourself that you can take care of yourself if you leave your heart open? Not crazy open without regard for reality. But open because you know that you are enough and that if you get quiet enough you have the ability to take care yourself.
I'd so love to hear your thoughts on this one. Please comment below.
Love this Robyn. I've really been working on this awareness and it's crazy what a difference circumstances are for me when I think of them from my heart rather than from my head. I know it's where God wants us to be and I'm choosing to be there in my life. Can you imagine our world if everyone lived from thier heart each moment of their life? Have a great week my friend!
To not leave your "heart open" is not to feel God's blessings sent to you (even when there are tears :).
I have noticed lately, and this phrase reminds me, that I go around all tensed up. My neck, shoulders are tight, and my breathing shallow…am I in a constant state of fear? Is everybody out to get me? Can I trust no one? Why am I cynical?
I am closed off. So…right this instant I promise myself, that I will often stop, release the tension from my body, breathe deeply several times, relax my mouth.
Fear dissipates, then disappears. I remind myself that as I lean into my fears, they flee. I have learned that 95% of my fears never happen. The other 5% are mostly good.
Serenity, calm, dwelling in the present moment…and enjoying each moment.
Robyn, Seedlings felt as if you were writing to me specifically this morning! I am NOT good about protecting myself and over the years I have noticed that I close off as a way of protecting myself from certain people. I love the thought that opening your heart should not get in the way of reality, and that you should trust yourself enough to make the right decisions for you. Brilliant!
Deep breathing works wonders as well as consciously relaxing all muscles.

Best VoIP Providers include: CallFire, Jive Hosted VoIP, Digium Asterisk, Google Voice, Viber, CallSource, Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Call Manager), UberConference, NICE inContact CXone, and Jabber.
A complete list of VoIP Providers is available here.
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It is technology for delivering voice and other forms of communication over an Internet Protocol or IP. VoIP providers offer communications services that the business world relies on for collaboration. Typically, phone, video conferencing, and live chat are conducted on the VoIP platform, without assistance from the public switched telephone network (PSTN). There are also hybrid solutions that combine VoIP with PSTN.
VoIP presents the underlying technology for Unified Communications Platforms.
Some VoIP providers are geared for SMBs who want a business phone with advanced telephony-type features and maybe some conferencing capability or minutes.
More sophisticated providers offer a highly scalable, end-to-end unified communications platform designed for larger enterprises. These UCaaS vendors tend to offer more reach and flexibility compared to point tools for collaboration, live chat, and web conferencing. They also aim to encompass all communication within the enterprise and across its boundaries, including integrated contact center functionality.
The top vendors offer both a unified communications platform as well as a low-cost VoIP solution.
IP networks can be vulnerable. So, various methods of providing communication privacy and security should be considered. Vendors may vary in how they attempt to secure communications.
Vendors must offer hardware to support their platforms' capabilities, such as phones, headsets, servers, and other infrastructural devices. Subtle differences between these devices may contribute to very similar and relatively equal software platforms being perceived very differently in terms of quality or fit. Therefore, these subtleties should not be discounted.
A great deal of data is transmitted through these systems. So, some software provides analytics to evaluate agent, channel, and call performance. These analytics can be used to seek out inefficiencies or anomalies, endpoint status, and more. Integration with VoIP analytics platforms might help monitor system performance.
One potential benefit of VoIP and virtual offices is the ability to interact with personnel (or support personnel as they interact with customers) as though they were in the office. This includes dashboard interfaces, a reliable connection, quality streaming, and security protocols and methods (e.g. Virtual Private Network / VPN). Products may vary in their ability to function outside the boundaries of the enterprise.
VoIP providers often charge on a per month, per user basis. Prices generally start at around $20 per month, per user, and wll increase from there with more advanced features.
Another factor to consider in the cost structure is the hardware. Many providers offer hardware rental as part of their service, at additional cost.

Where Is Buck Privates Filmed? All Details
Who Is Amber Davies Boyfriend?
Buck privates a 1940's exemplary that was a severe hit at that point. Buck Privates is a 1941 wartime armed force parody musical film that dispatched the vocations of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. This was the principal military dramedy which was set during the 1940 peacetime war draft. Before the US joined the conflict, the comic threesome made two extra help dramatizations. On October 13 of 1941, Abbott and Costello introduced a one-hour radio variant of the image at the Lux Radio Theater. Allow us to see get into the past to think about the entire configuration of the film of those occasions. We will currently see the areas and realize where Buck Privates was recorded?
"Buck Privates Come Home" is a 1947 spin-off of this film which was delivered. The film Buck Privates is among three Abbott and Costello films featuring The Andrews Sisters, who were at that point under Universal Pictures' authoritative commitment around then.
Buck Privates was shot during the period from December 13, 1940, to January 11, 1941. It was assessed for $233,000 across 20 days, yet it wound up being $12,000 over the assessed spending plan and four days behind the cutoff time. The primary reaction to the film was predominantly good. The New York Times' Theodore Strauss depicted it as "90 minutes of crazy silliness." Abbott and Costello, similar to the Military, aren't known for their nuance. However, their tricks contain such a lot of intimation as a 1,000-pound sensation, with a small part of the ruinous power.
Grants and designations
The image was among Universal's greatest blockbusters of the year, creating almost $4 million when film tickets were a quarter overall, and the studios' net gross was considered as income. Today, it applies the entirety of a film's benefits. In the year 1941, the image was designated for two Academy Awards. For "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," Hughie Prince and Don Raye were set for an Academy Award for Best Original Track. At the same time, Charles Previn was shortlisted for Original Music Score, an Academy Award.
Widespread granted movie producer Arthur Lubin a $5,000 impetus and trained him to start dealing with one more film, "Hold That Ghost," essentially right away. Regardless of the way that he's under authoritative concurrence with a set pay. In 10 months, Lubin shot five Abbott and Costello films.
The last outfit of the film included stars like Alan Curtis as Bob Martin, Lee Bowman as Randolph Parker III, Lou Costello as Herbie Brown, Samuel S. Hinds as Major General Emerson, Bud Abbott as Slicker Smith, The Andrews Sisters, Jane Frazee as Judy Gray, Harry Strang as Sergeant Callahan, Leonard Elliott as Henry, Shemp Howard as Chef, Nat Pendleton as Sergeant Michael Collins, and Nella Walker as Mrs. Karen Parker.
Where were Buck Privates recorded?
The recording areas of Buck Privates remember significantly six spots for and around various conditions of the United States, which are:
Lake Elsinore, California, USA.
Fortification Ord, California, USA.
Unique Central Station of New York's Manhattan, USA.
All-inclusive studios-all the more definitively in Universal City square, California, USA.
Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, Providencia Ranch, California, the US.
Herbie Brown and Slicker Smith are two hawkers who sell ties from a portfolio in the city. They stow away at a film house while as yet being sought after by a cop, not understanding that it is now being used as an Army enlisting office. They erroneously enroll, believing they will pursue theater grants. Moreover, Randolph Parker, a spoilt playboy, and his extended companion, Bob Martin, show up at the playhouse. Randolph expects his incredible dad to haul a few associations to keep him out of the Military. Sway, in actuality, is uninterested in his tactical obligations. Questions between the two men become significantly higher when Judy Gray, a campsite have and colleague of Bob's, is presented, and Randolph focuses on her.
Slicker and Herbie are humiliated to discover that Collins, the cop who followed them, presently is the sergeant at their enlist preparing. Moreover, Randolph finds that his dad won't utilize his ability to help him. He feels that a year in the Military will be helpful. The camping area life isn't all dreadful despite the difficulties because The Andrews Sisters perform at regular stretches to sing passionate or energetic melodies. Herbie figures out how to screw up with negligible outcomes.
Randolph foregoes a tactical shooting rivalry going through the day with Judy, even though he is a refined marksman. The enterprise misses the game and the entirety of the cash set on him, making them significantly angrier of him. However, through a conflict game practice, Randolph recaptures his standing by safeguarding Bob and contriving a ploy to assist him with a companying win the fake fight. He is eventually invited by his group, acquiring the fondness of Bob and Judy meanwhile. He later gets acknowledged by the official preparing school.

LONDON – British officials say the British-flagged cargo ship Asian Glory has been hijacked off the coast of Somalia.

Officials said Saturday the precise time and location of the hijacking are not yet clear.

In response to Mr. Bordelon's April 10th letter, I offer a different perspective.
There are indeed many examples in society today where so-called political correctness (PC) has reached stupid, if not offensive levels. That what any person says or writes can become common knowledge around the globe almost instantly aggravates our reactions to things.
Was Columbus a good or bad person probably isn't of great importance but understanding our more recent history surely does merit careful thought.
Equally important is awareness of what we mean by history. History comprises both facts and interpretations of those facts. To remove a monument, or to change the name of a school or street, is not to erase history, but rather to alter or call attention to a previous interpretation of history.
A monument is not history itself; a monument commemorates an aspect of history, representing a moment in the past when a public or private decision defined who would be honored in a community's public spaces.
Understanding the specific historical context of Confederate monuments in America is imperative. The bulk of the monument building took place not in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War but from the close of the 19th century into the second decade of the 20th. Commemorating not just the Confederacy but also the "Redemption" of the South after Reconstruction, these monuments often glorified legally mandated segregation and widespread disenfranchisement across the South.
Memorials to the Confederacy were intended, in part, to obscure the terrorism required to overthrow Reconstruction, and to intimidate African Americans politically and isolate them from the mainstream of public life. A reprise of commemoration during the mid-20th century coincided with the civil rights movement and included a wave of renaming and the popularization of the Confederate flag as a political symbol. Events in the U.S. indicate that these symbols of white supremacy are still being invoked for similar purposes.
To remove such monuments is neither to change history nor erase it. What changes with such removals is what American communities decide is worthy of civic honor. Such changes more accurately reflect an honest assessment of who we are.
Under the auspice of academic freedom, some of the rhetoric emanating from intuitions of higher learning is, indeed, unsettling. And under the umbrella of freedom of the press and our freedom of speech what is put forth as 'gospel' by citizens, pundits, the media, and both political parties is often embarrassing if not downright untrue.
It would seem some of Mr. Bordelon's cautionary thoughts are greatly diluted by his own fear peddling.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, and we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.


Lake Superior is so big that many refer to it as an inland sea. Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay, takes you down a 700-kilometre stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
It's an ideal drive around for either car or motorcycle, offering endless views of vast Lake Superior, alongside mile after mile of wind-worn rock faces, forests and roaming moose.
Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes in North America, spreading through Ontario, Canada, and across the US border into Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Hit the road- and not just any road, but one of the most beautiful you'll find anywhere.
It's so big that many refer to it as an inland sea – and tracking across its north shore is one of Canada's iconic road trips: Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay, taking you down a 700-kilometre stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
It's an ideal drive for either car or motorcycle, offering endless views of vast Lake Superior, alongside mile after mile of wind-worn rock faces, forests and roaming moose.
You could do the whole trip in a day if you wanted – but why would you?
There are plenty of great detours to indulge in along the way (including the famed Sleeping Giant, a six-kilometre-long set of hills that, you guessed it, looks EXACTLY like a giant slumbering on its back) and plenty of places to stay along the route.
So whether you're a keen petrolhead or you're looking for a creative way to kill a few days in between the rest of your holiday, this is the drive for you.
The drive from "The Soo" to Thunder Bay (saulttourism.com; thunderbay.ca) can be made year-round, though make allowances for seasonal changes and weather in your preparations. More details here.
Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie are in Ontario's lower mid-west – and this Sault Ste Marie is not to be confused with its twin city in Michigan (also called Sault Ste Marie), a mere 750 metres away on the US side of the narrow St Mary's River.

Stephen and Barbara worked closely with a group called Youth for Change to bring Releasing to at-risk youth. Here are performances from groups inspired by Youth for Change in the Cape Town townships of Khayelitsha and Philippi on April 18, 2008. Included are their own rendering of John Lennon's "Imagine", native dance and the South African National Anthem, "Nkosi Sikeleli Africa". Choirmaster Sipho Fulani.Stephen and Barbara have also been working in Cradock, a town in the Eastern Cape whose black community leaders were murdered by the apartheid security police in 1985. Releasing came naturally to many of the strong women there and allowed them to let go of decades of pain and disempowerment. Stephen and Barbara returned in 2016 and will be continuing their work to support these women in bringing back the traditional values of Ubuntu – the humanity which arises from our interconnection with one another.

After a 60 year ban, China is permitting horse racing.
There will be weekly races in the central city of Wuhan.
Communist authorities banned racing after taking power in the 1949 revolution as part of a broad sweep that remotely resembled luxury and decadence.
China has a legal lottery. No other forms of betting (gambling) allowed.
Both Hong Kong, a former British colony, and Macau, a former Portuguese territory, already boast a thriving racing industry and the latter also hosts dozens of casinos.
Racing in Wuhan will take place from late August.
Ten to 12 horses will be entered in four to six races and more than 200 owners have already decided to participate.
People can win small prizes if they correctly guess which horse will win the race, but they can't bet on horses like people do during Hong Kong horse racing.

Summer teams build structures and faith in Africa
Construction Management and Engineering students chuckled at pictures of hand-cranked concrete machines and framing built with three-quarter inch plywood.
Four of their classmates and one professor, participants in summer mission trips to Africa, shared about their experiences at the division-wide welcome back dinner on Sept. 6. All five men discussed the people they met and the projects they worked on, often in less than ideal conditions and with outdated equipment.
Jim Caldwell, head of the construction management department, commended the students who completed overseas internships.
"I received feedback from both of the teams' supervisors that these four guys were head and shoulders over other interns," he said. "They praised our students for living out their faith in addition to completing good work."
Nigeria Samaritan's Purse
Junior Moses Clark and seniors John Oswald and Chris Kinzer dedicated three months working to help revitalize a Christian hospital near the city of Egbe. Another intern joined them on the project, under the supervision of a missionary family.
Oswald focused on remodeling 12 of the 14 houses on the compound, including building cabinets. Kinzer and Clark completed a wide variety of other projects, particularly rebuilding a broken-down dam. They also helped by rewiring some of the electrical systems at the hospital and installing ceiling lights.
In one building, tearing up the floor revealed an old well underneath, which Clark and Kinzer had to deal with. At another building, an unexpected return of the hospital's power while Clark worked on the wiring created an "exciting moment."
This team faced a variety of issues, including a concrete mixer that constantly fell apart and the necessity of carrying mortar and concrete by hand in five-gallon buckets to the work site.
The poor equipment often slowed down their work efforts, Kinzer said. It is up to the manager to figure out a way to make do with what a team has.
"A lot of times, the Nigerians make things by hand simply because they do not know how to use the tools," Clark said.
Both Clark and Kinzer plan to do long-term mission project management overseas in the future.
"We have lived in Africa before, so we're used to that. For us the important part was learning how to deal with construction issues that arise in the type of conditions we faced," Kinzer said.
Clark said his favorite part was helping people and the interactions with the Nigerian workers at the job sites. Kinzer said he most enjoyed visiting a nearby orphanage and hearing the people's stories.
Niger Service in Mission
Senior Kaleb Bledsoe spent a month of his summer at a hospital compound in the neighboring country of Niger. There he helped create a new hazardous material incinerator, since the hospital had filled up the old one. He also built stairs for the first time in his life, out of concrete.
For Bledsoe, interacting with the people around him trumped the construction projects as the best part of the trip. He shared stories about a few of those people. An older man laughed at him because he was not married yet, an African cultural expectation.
A young Christian man told Bledsoe that he goes out to share the gospel in his 99 percent Muslim country even though people beat him sometimes. A missionary family loads a sofa onto their truck and camps out in the bush, living in community with the people they seek to reach.
"To Christians, God is here and relevant," Bledsoe said. "Muslims don't have that, and that is heartbreaking."
The missionary who served as his boss, Chad Winzer, is over his head with construction work needs, Bledsoe said. He encouraged his fellow students to consider going over next summer to work.
Bledsoe wants to work with long-term missions in some capacity in the future. God taught him a lot during his time in Africa this summer, he said.
"I learned that I need to become more mature and get ready for something like that," he said. "It's God's work, but I want to be a good tool."
Rwanda Musanze
Jim Caldwell spent part of his summer in the small African country of Rwanda working at the Musanze Opportunity Center. The Center opened earlier this year with the mission of "Helping Rwandans build a stronger Rwanda."
Four schools on the center's campus offer training to Rwandans in the areas of English, construction, hospitality services and discipleship. Caldwell taught the first construction class during the summer, in addition to helping with some projects around the campus.
The Center desires to bring in some technology where it makes sense in the African context and then to hire Rwandan labor to do the work, Caldwell said.
For example, during his time there the Center laid a concrete patio which will provide a place for a restaurant. Although they used an up-to-date mixer, they also utilized 100 Rwandans to form a human conveyer belt, passing the concrete from the machine to the pour site.
Teaching construction meets a great need in Rwanda, Caldwell said. In the capital Kigali, people need 30,000 new houses built each year. But there are only enough contractors to build 1,000. The rest are just put together by neighbors and friends who do not necessarily know how to build.
The Center's four-fold values include launching job-creating entrepreneurs and doing everything with quality and integrity. The construction school aims to use an apprenticeship model of equipping people with skills so that they can go out and not only work but also train other people, according to the Center's website.

This collection of photos was donated to the ACD Club by long-time Canadian ACD Club member Jim Brockman. Jim has been a member since 1962 and was known as the ACD Club Canadian Historian. He spent a lifetime collecting these photos through arduous research. He first went to the libraries of Toronto and searched through the back issues of newspapers looking for ACD cars for sale. He started with newspapers in the 1930?s and continued into the ?40?s and ?50?s. Most of these ads only listed telephone numbers, so he went to the old phone books to look up names and addresses to go with the phone numbers. After this he wrote personal letters to each person, usually including a $5 postal money order to facilitate a response. Through these letters he was able to get many of the photos in his collection. Most of these photos have never been published as they are home pictures taken by the owners.
The ACD Club Board of Directors would like to thank Jim and Joyce for donating his collection. Thanks also to past Board member Murray Hall for directing Joyce to the Board.
Thank you to Mike Huffman for scanning thousands of these original photos.

Tucker Carlson was on fire last night about it. You can watch part of it here, but it is being stripped from the internet everywhere. The full video was about 36 minutes long.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tuck...-covid-vaccine
Two people close to me are having problems from it. One close older friend got a heart attack days after he got the Pfizer shot. He went to the hospital and needed two stents put in.
He is still having problems as of today with his blood and pain throughout his body.
My elderly mother just lost her hearing in the last few days on many tones, chimes, church bells and such, also she now has bad tinnitus.
I talked to another friend today that knows 3 people that died days after the vaccine, 2 were in their 40's

Tucker Carlson: How many Americans have died after taking the COVID vaccine?
Biden's mask theater is the crudest kind of propaganda, designed for a population they think is stupid and weak
Tucker Carlson By Tucker Carlson | Fox News
Tucker: How many Americans have died after taking COVID vaccines?
'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host takes a look at the potential risks that come with taking vaccines
How many Americans have died after taking the COVID vaccines? Not Americans who've been killed by the virus, that's a huge number, but how many Americans have died after getting the vaccines designed to prevent the virus? Do you know the answer to that question? Do you know anything about the downside? We know a lot about the upside of the vaccine. We've been completely in favor of vulnerable people taking vaccines.
But what about the potential risks? You'd think you would know more about that than you do. We talk about vaccines constantly, not just on this show, but in this country. Joe Biden was on TV yesterday talking about vaccines. He wants you to get one. Everyone in authority wants you to get one. In fact, you've probably already had your shot, and good for you. If you haven't had your shot, you're under enormous pressure to get your shot. You understand that soon you may not be able to fly on commercial airplanes or go to work at the office or send your children to school if you don't have the shot. Meanwhile, the social pressure is enormous. Friends may have already informed you that you're not welcome at their parties or weddings if you haven't been vaccinated. There is a lot of pressure to comply. At some point, you probably will comply. It's just too difficult not be to vaccinated in this country.
But before you make the appointment: do you know anything about the potential risks? Probably you don't know much. We all assume the risks are negligible. Vaccines aren't dangerous. That's not a guess, we know that pretty conclusively from the official numbers. Every flu season, we give influenza shots to more than 160 million Americans. Every year, a relatively small number of people seem to die after getting those shots. To be precise, in 2019, that number was 203 people. The year before, it was 119. In 2017, a total of 85 people died from the flu shot.
Every death is tragic, but big picture, we don't consider those numbers disqualifying. We keep giving flu shots, and very few people complain about it. So the question is how do those numbers compare to the death rate from the coronavirus vaccines now being distributed across the country? That's worth knowing.
We checked today. Here's the answer, which comes from the same set of government numbers that we just listed: Between late December of 2020, and last month, a total of 3,362 people apparently died after getting the COVID vaccines in the United States. Three thousand, three hundred and sixty-two — that's an average of 30 people every day. So, what does that add up to? By the way, that reporting period ended on April 23. We don't have numbers past that, we're not quite up to date. But we can assume that another 360 people have died in the 12 days since. That is a total of 3,722 deaths. Almost four thousand people died after getting the COVID vaccines. The actual number is almost certainly much higher than that — perhaps vastly higher.
Pete Hegseth: Standing up against the 'permanent pandemic'Video
The data we just cited come from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System — VAERS — which is managed by the CDC and the FDA. VARES has received a lot of criticism over the years, some of it founded. Some critics have argued for a long time that VARES undercounts vaccine injuries. A report submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services in 2010 concluded that "fewer than one percent of vaccine adverse events are reported" by the VARES system. Fewer than one percent. So what is the real number of people who apparently have been killed or injured by the vaccine? Well, we don't know that number. Nobody does, and we're not going to speculate about it. But it's clear that what is happening now, for whatever reason, is not even close to normal. It's not even close to what we've seen in previous years with previous vaccines.
Most vaccines are not accused of killing large numbers of people. The Menveo vaccine, for example, is given to people around the world, often children, to prevent bacterial meningitis. In this country, only one person died from that vaccine in the entire period between 2010 and 2015. One. So, compare that to what's happening now. In just the first four months of this year, the U.S. government has recorded more deaths after COVID vaccinations than from all other vaccines administered in the United States between mid-1997 and the end of 2013. That's a period of fifteen and a half years. Again, more people, according to VAERS, have died after getting the shot in four months during a single vaccination campaign than from all other vaccines combined over more than a decade and a half. Chart that out. It's a stunning picture. Now, the debate is over what it means. Again, there's a lot of criticism of the reporting system. Some people say "well, it's just a coincidence that someone gets the shot and then dies, possibly from other causes." No one really knows, is the truth. We spoke to one physician today who actively treats COVID patients. He described what we're seeing now as the single deadliest mass-vaccination event in modern history. Whatever is causing it, it is happening as we speak. So you'd think someone in authority might want to know what's going on.
TUCKER CARLSON: IF YOU LET DEMOCRATS FORCE YOU TO GET THE VACCINE, THEY'LL HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL FOREVER
If the vaccine injury reporting system is flawed — and it clearly is flawed — why hasn't it been fixed? And more to the point, why has there not been an independent vaccine safety board to assess what's happening. And reassure people who stumble across official government numbers on the internet. But amazingly, none of that has been done. No one even mentions the numbers. And in fact, you're not allowed to. You'll be pulled off the internet if you do. The people in charge do not acknowledge them. Instead, they warn us about what might happen if we don't take the vaccine. Like Joe Biden.
JOE BIDEN: You know, there's a lot of misinformation out there, but there's one fact I want every American to know. People who are not fully vaccinated can still die every day from covid-19…This is your choice. It's life and death.
"People who are not fully vaccinated can still die every day from COVID -19," Biden said. As a factual matter, that is true. But it's also misleading. Not all Americans are at a similar risk of dying from COVID-19. Some are at relatively high risk: the old and the sick. They might want to get vaccinated, and most do. Some are at very low risk of dying: the young and the healthy. Others appear to be at essentially no risk at all: anyone who's had COVID and recovered. Virtually all of those people are immune. That's true for many viruses. Those second two categories — the young and healthy, and the previously infected — may add up to hundreds of millions of people in this country. The funny thing is, the White House – the official policy-makers who are designing the vaccine rollout – do not acknowledge that those categories even exist.
Health Authorities are pretending that everyone's health and risk potential is exactly the same as everyone else's. That's why Joe Biden has demanded that 70 percent of all American adults — regardless of age, regardless of health condition, regardless of pre-existing antibodies — get the COVID shot by the Fourth of July two months from now, or else.
This might be an acceptable policy – it would never be an ethical policy – but it might be acceptable to the country if COVID vaccines we could show conclusively came with no risk, and if we truly understood the long-term effects of those vaccines. But neither one of those things is true. We know that according to the government reporting system, thousands of people have died after getting the shot. That is true in this country, where it's hotly debated when it's talked about at all, but it's also true in European countries, whose record-keeping is, if anything, more reliable than ours. Many thousands of other people appear to have been injured after getting the vaccine. VAERS records nearly 900 non-fatal heart attacks in people who just received the shot. 2,700 people reported unexplained chest pain. In all, the vaccine, according to the government reporting system, appears to have contributed to at least 8,000 hospitalizations.
Some of the side effects defy explanation. Researcher Alex Berenson has noted that coronavirus vaccines now account for almost one-third of all tinnitus reports in the VAERS database. That's the ringing in your ears. The American Tinnitus Association says it's received "many questions" on the link.
COVID-19 vaccine: why one attorney won't take itVideo
Researchers at Oxford and UCLA have begun tracking coronavirus vaccine side effects across eight separate countries. They found, that "Women aged 18 to 34 years had a higher rate of deep vein thrombosis than men of the same age." They also found that heart attacks were "common" in people aged 85 and older who had taken the vaccine. They found serious potential side effects in some children, "anaphylaxis [and] appendicitis were more common in young people."
Vaccines are complicated medicines, and as with any drug, it can take a long time to get it precisely right. The dosage, for example. And this is not the first time people have been hurt during a vaccination campaign. That is bound to happen. What's different this time, and so striking, is the reaction to these numbers. Here's a contrast for you: in 1976, the U.S. government vaccinated 45 million people with a vaccine for the swine flu. Fifty-three people reportedly died after getting that shot. The U.S. government immediately halted the vaccination program. Authorities decided it was too risky, it wasn't worth it.
TUCKER CARLSON: THE LEFT'S MASK FETISH, AND WHY THEY THINK VACCINE HESITANCY SHOULD BE A FELONY
Contrast that with what is happening now. This time, our health authorities have reserved their energy for anyone who dares to question vaccines.
TUCKER CARLSON: WE SHOULD START ASKING PEOPLE TO STOP WEARING MASKS OUTSIDE, IT MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE
"I challenged his use of the term 'Vaccine Hesitancy,'" Ron Johnson told us in a conversation today. "I told him that based on the VAERS deaths, and my conversations with people who have chosen not to get vaccinated, a better description would be: 'People who are hesitant to be coerced into participating in the largest drug trial in history.'"
Exactly. There's a reason many states have more vaccine doses than they can use. Some people just don't want the vaccine. That's their right. Period. Not all of them are crazy. Health decisions used to be considered personal choices. We didn't ask about them. They were considered personal as recently as last fall. In September of 2020, at the height of the presidential campaign, a CNN reporter asked Kamala Harris whether she'd be willing to take the coronavirus vaccine once it became available.
"Well, I think that's going to be an issue for all of us," Harris responded. "I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump." A month later, at the vice presidential debate, Harris was if anything more emphatic on the subject. "If Donald Trump tells us we should take" the vaccine, she declared, "I'm not going to take it."
Kamala Harris has, of course, since changed her mind. She's no longer skeptical of the vaccine, nor does she tolerate the skepticism of others. Instead, she's an enthusiastic participant in COVID theater. And that's really the only name for it.
NETWORKS AVOID BOMBSHELL REPORT ON TEACHERS UNION INFLUENCING CDC OVER GUIDANCE ON SCHOOLS REOPENING
Just today, Harris and her husband made a point of kissing each other in front of photographers while wearing masks. They did this despite the fact they're married, that they live together, that they were standing outside at the time and despite the fact that they both have been vaccinated.
A number of crude jokes come to mind, but for once we'll pass. It is the crudest kind of propaganda, designed by the cynical for the benefit of a population they consider stupid and weak and malleable. It's not just Kamala Harris. Everyone is in on it, even the corporate comedians.
Comic buffoons even do what we assume is an unpaid ad for Moderna.
DOCTOR: Oh, you read something on Facebook?
NURSE: Oh your friend from high school who sells jewelry posted it?
NURSE: To one who's 53 and still builds dollhouses?
DOCTOR: You heard what? On whose podcast?
DOCTOR: Is he a doctor? No? A scientist? No?
NURSE: Can he name one of the ingredients in the vaccine?
NURSE: Can he point to his glabella?
DOCTOR: Then tell him to shut the f--- up. The glabella is right here by the way (gives the finger)
NURSE: Get the vaccine
DOCTOR: Get the vaccine
DOCTOR: Grow the f--- up and get the vaccine
It doesn't make you laugh. It makes you nervous. Why are they talking to you that way? Why are they giving you the finger on TV? No matter how many fingers they give you, it doesn't change what remains true for the country: If American citizens are going to be forced to take this vaccine or any other medicine, they have an absolute right to know what the effects of it might be. And they have an absolute right to ask that question. Without being silenced or censored or mocked or given the finger. No amount of happy talk or coercion or appeals to false patriotism can change that. Period.

Sorry to hear about your mom and your friend. On tinnitus, my sister had it (from Lyme) and it was horrible--she constantly listened to music with headphones to drown it out. I've heard that there are facebook groups for people who got tinnitus from the injections (apparently there are lots of people who have gotten it).
Good that Tucker got some truth out.

Mouni Roy to star Opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Bole Chudiyan
Ajay Arora March 11, 2019
Taking forward the trend of unusual pairing, Woodpecker Movies' next film will feature Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mouni Roy. Titled Bole Chudiyan, this romantic movie will have Mouni Roy a demure small town girl who is all by heart. The project will be directed by Nawazuddin's brother Shamas Siddiqui. Shooting for the film starts in May 2019 and is expected to be completed by June 2019 so that the movie can have an October 2019 Diwali release.
Both Mouni Roy and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are excellent actors who have made humble beginnings. Nawazuddin Siddiqui started playing character roles for a long time and first shot to limelight with Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur. From here there was no looking back with him giving power packed performance each time he is on screen. Movies like The Lunch Box, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Thackrey and Petta have been milestones in his career with Petta marking him Tamil debut alongside Rajnikant. He also experimented in the web series space with Sacred Games that was again a huge hit. Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be next seen in the movie Photograph where is being paired with Sanya Malhotra, another unusual and fresh pairing.
Mouni Roy began her acting career with the Balaji show " Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi". She was also seen in other tv serials like Kasturi, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadevan and the last being Nagin. Mouni Roy made her Bollywood Debut in the movie Gold last year where she was cast opposite Akshay Kumar. It was a critically acclaimed movie and Mouni was well appreciated for her acting skills. Bole Chudiyan will be Mouni Roy's fifth Hindi movie. Interestingly, she will also be seen on the silver screen in the epic movie Brahmastra that stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles, and in other movies including Romeo Akbar Walter and Made In China.
Bole Chudiyan is a romantic feel-good movie, a genre that Nawazuddin Siddiqui has less explored and something that the audience has been wanting to see him in for a long time.

More than two years ago, in June 2010, the Cleveland Museum of Art began a comprehensive audience research project that focused on the special exhibition Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes. Various museums throughout the world undertake such visitor studies to try to better understand the wants and needs of their members and visitors. The museum has made a significant commitment to this area by creating an internal team of evaluators. Through discussion sessions, surveys, and interviews, these studies ultimately help museum staff members understand our audience and how best to create a visitor-friendly experience.
For the Wari exhibition, the museum developed an extensive three-phase research project to help with interpretive and marketing planning. Funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the project was conducted by the museum's internal team along with the research firm Slover Linett Strategies. The research included discussions with members, visitors, and nonvisitors; storytelling exercises with members and visitors; and a survey conducted on-site at the museum. Each phase added to an overall understanding of the key question we hoped to answer: how can we make this exhibition accessible to our members and visitors?
What did we find? The research uncovered a significant amount of information, ranging from basic findings about what the respondents knew about the Wari culture to the expectations and goals visitors have when visiting art museums. While we anticipated and confirmed that most potential visitors knew little about the Wari, we were happy to learn that aspects of this little-known culture sparked interest. The most notable positive reaction was a strong desire to learn more about how the Wari used their works of art as a means of communication, since they had no written language. This response, along with many other findings, has helped the museum's curatorial, interpretive, and marketing teams develop programming and other components of the exhibition.
The museum conducts studies about exhibitions, programs, and other projects throughout the year. If you are interested in participating in audience research projects, send an e-mail with your preferred contact details to audienceresearch [at] clevelandart.org.

Hendrick de Meijer (1620–1689) war ein Landschaftsmaler des Goldenen Zeitalters der Niederlande.

Meijer wurde 1620 in Rotterdam geboren. Über sein Leben ist nichts bekannt, außer dass er einen Sohn namens Cornelius hatte, welcher ebenfalls Landschaftsmaler war. Hendrick de Meijer wird vom Niederländischen Institut für Kunstgeschichte als Landschaftsmaler eingestuft (auch Strandbilder oder Winterlandschaften) und gehört zur "Albert Cuyp Schule".
Er ist  bekannt für seine datierten Arbeiten. Darunter Die Abreise Karls II. von England aus Scheveningen (Het vertrek van Karel II van Engeland uit Scheveninge) oder Die Eroberung der Stadt Hulst (De verovering van de stad Hulst), an die Stadt Hulst übergeben am 5. November 1645.

Question: What is with the road repair on Monroe Street? It was closed for months for them to widen the road, but the north end of the repair from 17th to 23rd is a horrible job. Is this the best it is going to get?
You must be patient. Things don't happen overnight.
So no, this isn't the best you are going to get.
Bates said that by the time you read this, work on that section of Monroe should be done.
He said crews were planning to overlay the street Thursday and Friday, barring bad weather. A company will still need to paint stripes.
"If you drive it, you will know it is different," he said.
So, go take a road trip this Memorial Day down a new and improved Monroe.
Here's another question on Monroe, obviously a well-traveled Hutchinson street.
Question: I am new to Hutchinson, but feel compelled to ask this nagging question. Why are cars allowed to park along Monroe Street when there are endless "No Parking" signs and an obvious lack of space to do so?
For starters, you can park on Monroe. There are only a few places with no parking signs.
Bates admitted there probably isn't enough room on the street to park and drive and have a turning lane in the middle - that is, if everyone on that strip of street is parking in front of his or her home.
Sure, if everyone parked along the curb, it probably would be impossible to get up and down Monroe. However, parked cars don't inundate the street. And if there are a few cars parked along it, it's easy to maneuver around them.
Bates did say the new portion of Monroe, from 17th to 23rd, would be marked differently. There won't be a continuous middle turn lane and there will be more room to drive.
"That's the last I heard, anyway," Bates said.
We'll have to wait and see if this materializes.
Question: Is it true a section of highway I-35 near Lindsborg was resurfaced years ago with ground up tires as a test surface?
I'm surprised to say this, but the answer is yes.
James Roudybush, a district maintenance engineer for the Kansas Department of Transportation based in Salina, said the project was completed in 1994 and 1995.
The project was experimental. KDOT crew grounded up the tires to almost a powder mix, Roudybush said.
The test service strip made up about 10 miles of I-35 across McPherson County going from around McPherson to Pawnee Road.
"They did use recycled rubber from old tires on that," he said. "It didn't perform real well, but I don't know if I blame the tires, but the way it was mixed."
He said a couple years ago, the department milled a couple inches off and reworked the material.
"So it still has the ground up tires in it," he said.
He said he didn't know if the state has tried similar test strips in other areas, but some states, including Arizona, use many recycled tires instead of burying them in a landfill.
Question: Why is there only one "Stop" sign at the intersection of Newport and Acres Roads? Not two, not four ... but one?
I predicted that maybe someone had stolen the sign. Bates, however, said there always has just been one stop sign there.
"Years ago, Acres Road didn't go through," he said. "It stopped south of Newport. You couldn't go south on Acres Road. They put a sign up for people on Newport."
The stop sign is located on the north side of Acres Road, he said. Public works crews put up the sign probably 25 years ago.
However, Acres Road now goes through.
"That issue probably hasn't been reviewed and needs to be reviewed to see if a stop sign is needed," he said. "That would be up to the traffic engineer."

More than 60 Brazilian members of congress from the opposition Worker's Party have formally changed their names. They have added the name 'Lula', after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was jailed last weekend.
Argentina's central bank held its benchmark interest rate at 27.25% this week, the monetary authority said in a statement, noting that high-frequency indicators suggested core inflation would remain high in April, but below March's levels.
Credit rating agency Moody's this week raised the outlook of Brazil's sovereign rating from negative to stable.
Countries are meeting in an attempt to agree cuts to greenhouse gases from the global shipping industry, amid pressure on the sector to help tackle climate change. Shipping, like aviation, is not directly included in the Paris Agreement, the international deal on global warming which was secured in the French capital in 2015 and commits countries to avoiding "dangerous" climate change.
Argentina's icebreaker Almirante Irizar is back in Buenos Aires at the end of its first Antarctic campaign in ten years, following the fire that almost knocked the Finnish built vessel out of action. She left on 26 December and completed 107 days in the high seas and Antarctica's ice.
UK Chief Secretary Elizabeth Truss is this week visiting Brasilia and Sao Paulo for bilateral meetings with authorities and will follow-up on the second UK-Brazil Economic and Financial Dialogue (EFD), particularly on infrastructure. Latest figures show that bilateral trade between UK and Brazil is worth £5.4 billion a year.
Brazilian President Michel Temer has officially nominated eleven new ministers, the government's official bulletin said, giving continuity to the government's reform program ahead of the general elections in October.
European Council President Donald Tusk has said Brexit makes him furious, and called on Europe to unite during a speech in Dublin. The statesman warned it would take very little time to demolish the structures of peace and unity built up in the continent.


Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang — touting his $1,000-a-month universal basic income proposal on Boston Herald Radio Wednesday — claims his campaign is winning over disillusioned Trump supporters.
Drawing comparisons to President Trump, Yang bills himself as an outsider and he too is a businessman with no previous political experience.
Yang said he believes Trump was elected because of anger over how quickly American manufacturing jobs are being wiped out due to new technologies, adding that the next wave of further automation will threaten to eliminate one-third of all American jobs and render a number of industries, like truck driving, obsolete.
To fend off the jobs lost to robots and artificial intelligence, Yang's core campaign promise is his so-called "Freedom Dividend," a monthly check of $1,000 to every American from age 18 to 64, regardless of income or employment status.

HomeAnimalsNature CenterSalamanders
Maymont's Nature Center has two salamander species. The first, the marbled salamander (Ambystoma opacum), is often called the banded salamander due to its white or gray bands on its body. Mature marbled salamanders will only reach 3.5 to 4 inches in length, making it a smaller species. This amphibian is found in the piedmont and coastal plain regions of Virginia. It is also found throughout most of the eastern United States. Adults live in damp woodlands, close to ponds or streams. Worms, slugs, insects and even snails make up the carnivorous diet of this salamander. The marbled salamander larvae is a major predator in ponds, as it is often the first salamander species to hatch.
The second salamander species at the Nature Center is the eastern tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum). Most salamanders only reach 6 to 8 inches in their 12 to 14 year life span in the wild but the eastern tiger salamander can reach grow up to 14 inches. The eastern tiger salamander's name comes from the bright yellow tiger stripes on their bodies. These salamanders vary in color and those stripes may appear as blotches on some or be non existent in other.
Eastern tiger salamanders live throughout most of the United States, with two sites in Virginia; one in Mathews County and one in Augusta County. Adult salamanders live on land in deep burrows near ponds, lakes, wetlands, and streams. They are nocturnal carnivores eating insects, worms, and small fish. This species has been endangered in Virginia since 1984. This is due to breeding sites are being destroyed due to deforestation and pollution of the water.
Generally, salamanders spend most of their time hiding the dark, damp places.
Unlike most other salamanders in the same family, the marbled salamander is found in drier habitats and even breeds on land.
Marbled salamanders are solitary creatures most of the year, except for mating season.
Eastern tiger salamanders are the most wide-ranging salamander in North America.
The eastern tiger salamander is the largest land dwelling salamander on Earth.

"I had chronic sinusitis for a few yeas and always on antibiotics. After consulting with my ENT, Dr. Boole, he ordered a CT scan of my sinuses. I was considered a candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty. My surgery was on May 15, 2015 in his office.
The best part about this surgery is I didn't have to be put to sleep. I was given pills to relax. After about 45 minutes, Dr. Boole sprayed a numbing medication in my nose and performed the surgery.
I had bleeding for the remainder of the day and part of the next day. I had to start irrigation of my sinuses with a salt water solution the day after surgery. I had some pain the first 2 days, but did not take anything for pain by the third day. On the third day after surgery, I was back performing my normal activities.


There is some kind of a division of graphic design industry players between those who strive for idealism and those who are more business-oriented. Which side are you on?
A handful of curious minds gathered at ReWork fX Sudirman last March 8, 2018 for GetCRAFT's latest event to find out the answer.
The theme was 'Design Thinking: Idealism or Business", and acting as speakers were Fandy Susanto and our very own Christian Kustedi (CK). Each seemed to be chosen to represent each opposing aspect of the discussion.
Let's take a look at what they had to say regarding the topic.
For many of us, design is a religion in which there are 'laws' to abide. It has strict principles. It reaches inward, towards the soul. It should be respectful to humankind, society, and design itself.
That was Fandy's view which he shared during his presentation and was evident through his work as an art director at a design agency as well as his role at ADGI Jakarta.
One example was Seek-a-seek, an exhibition that aimed to raise awareness about the holistic process and important role of graphic design in the community and across industries by showcasing projects that as functional as they were artistic.
On the other hand, a lot of industry players take a more pragmatic approach to design. It is a means to an end, which is ultimately good business. It is an investment that should have a good return on the clients' perspective.
If increasing sales were the objective, design should serve that very purpose by using its own principles and elements. Designers are consultants who not only create, but also keep the process on the right track toward the objective.
Our co-founder CK also noted the importance of applying business thinking in managing a design agency. Owners should think of how to structurize their teams and how to scale up their businesses.
Our take on the matter is that there is no right or wrong. Both sides actually have something in common: a belief that graphic design works should not be viewed as trivial nor insignificant, but rather, functional and impactful.
The difference lies solely in the perspective. While some view graphic design as creating works of art that matter, others set their sights on working toward a business objective using the very unique art form that is graphic design.
By the end of the session, it appeared that each speaker actually value the 'opposing' view and how it could contribute to their own. It was noted that certain internal business situations require putting idealism aside and that certain projects with too much compromise on design principles might not make it to an agency's portfolio.

text: Q: Display text and buttons in Variable Length Paragraph For my app I have a "summary" paragraph that will be of variable length depending on a number of factors.  Certain parts will also be buttons to other information.  For example: Your flight #1234(button) from New York to San Francisco (another different button) is On time.  Not only is the information variable, but what factors are displayed.  For example sometimes there might be a connection to display. Where should I start looking for methods to do this?  Any help is appreciated.

This chapter contends that John Locke would be wary of the call for public leaders intending to influence an authentic moral transformation in their individual followers. According to Locke, the government's task is to care for our "civil concernments," not our "souls" or our moral development. This chapter goes beyond Locke's political writings, however, to demonstrate that this philosopher does in fact believe it is possible to be authentic in one's private life, provided it is understood in the limited sense of cultivating one's reason to make progress in understanding. But one should not conflate this or other related notions with what one finds in scholarship on authentic leadership. Indeed, Locke's view on leadership would be better described using the term "reasonable," insofar as it remains well within the rationally conceived limits of protecting the rights to life, liberty, and estate of other people.


This re-imagining of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" tells the story of Ugly, a plucky little bird who gets picked on by the other farmyard animals because he's different. Pushed out of the flock, he embarks on an adventure across the marsh, meeting an array of characters who teach him that it takes all sorts to make a world, and that he is much more than just his fowl looks. Honk! is a miraculous musical that should be seen by every parent and child everywhere and anyone who can relate to the plight of an outsider trying to fit in.

At their February meeting, the Clemson Board of Trustees approved final-phase plans and resolutions authorizing issuance of revenue bonds to construct a new academic building to house the College of Business and a new tennis center on campus. Final approval by the State Fiscal Accountability Authority was granted May 2.
The business college will relocate from its current home in Sirrine Hall, which was built in 1938. The proposed new 170,000-square-foot business building, scheduled to open in early 2020, includes classrooms and learning laboratories, faculty and administrative offices, study and gathering spaces, and common areas for greater collaboration among students, faculty, staff and business partners.
"This new home for our outstanding College of Business is a key component of the university's ongoing efforts to provide the type of academic facilities necessary to keep Clemson among the very best public universities in the country," said Preside James Clements. "We very much apprecia te the support from our leaders in state government for this extremely important project and look forward to breaking ground on what will become one of the first business education facilities in the country.
The total project cost, estimated to be $87.5 million, will be funded through a combination of state capital appropriations, state institution bonds and private gift funds.
LMN Architects of Seattle is designing the building in collaboration with the Greenville office of South Carolina-based LS3P, the architect of record.
The predominately brick and glass towers will feature an open design that includes an atrium. The towers will be connected above ground by an expansive outdoor stairway leading to a place and overlooking Bowman Field, and by an interior hallway on the building's first floor. In addition to a multitude of technology-equipped classrooms, the building will house faculty and staff support offices, the college's institutes and many shared learning spaces.
Sirrine Hall, the business school's current home, will become swing space for people transitioning to new locations on campus due to renovation or new construction.
The proposed tennis center for the men's and women's varsity teams will retain existing tennis facilities, including outdoor competition courts and a 700-seat permanent stadium. The new 48,000-square-foot tennis center will include six indoor courts, two outdoor courts, a clubhouse, locker rooms, a training room, equipment rooms, a players' lounge, laundry, coaches' offices, a ticket office, public restrooms and related site work.
The total project cost, estimated to be $12.5 million, will be funded either by athletic facilities revenue bonds and/or athletic private gifts. It is scheduled to be completed in winter 2017-18.

Dry Year Already Impacts Ag
Farmers and ranchers are bracing for a tough year of potential water cutbacks. Most will be forced to fallow ground as we enter into what many are calling the worst drought in nearly four decades. Most reservoirs are at less than 50 percent of capacity and annual runoff is expected to be poor.
Inflow into Shasta and Oroville is expected to be dismal, which worries farmers and ranchers in Northern California who are expecting water cutbacks north of the San Joaquin River Delta. An emergency drought declaration is expected in February to help facilitate water transfers, but water restrictions are already being set into place.
Being hit the hardest is the San Joaquin Valley. Row crop ground in the San Joaquin Valley is already being fallowed. "We knew that we had to supply water to our permanent crops... the almonds, pistachios and asparagus," according to Steve Ozuna from Harris Ranch.
Harris Farms normally plants 1500 acres of lettuce in the spring and 1500 in the fall. This year's drought is going to make things increasingly worse. "We have roughly 10-thousand acres of open ground and out of the 10-thousand were gonna be farming roughly 500 acres", said Ozuna.
At this point with little precipitation in the forecast farmers and ranchers are at the mercy of Mother Nature. We need to hope for a March miracle to assure enough water to grow the food that feeds our nation.


Since 2013, this yearly event has been bringing together artists, presenters/producers, intermediaries, and funders from Malaysia and overseas, providing space and inspiration to build relationships and exchange ideas.
The Borak Arts Series (BAS) is an annual arts conference for creative practitioners and business leaders. Here they gather to discuss new and upcoming projects, as well as local and international policy and trends. In this way, BAS hopes to break boundaries and encourage collaboration between practitioners, and the public and private sectors. Discussions centre around the year's theme. Past years have focused on Building Sustainability in the Arts, Building Knowledge and Capacity in Funding and Mobility, and ASEAN and the Future. These themes have dictated the direction and discussion of the event, which includes keynotes addresses, panel discussions, workshop, round table sessions, networking sessions, 1-on-1 meetings, and pocket performances.
