WILMINGTON – It might not be such a long union after all between Bruins coach Claude Julien and general manager Don Sweeney.
Sweeney termed it "an uncomfortable business" last week when asked how much slack the Bruins coaching staff would have entering this season. That kind of talk sends a clear message of accountability should the Bruins once again limp out of the gate like the Hockey Walking Dead.
Julien spent a good portion of his meeting with the B's media on Wednesday morning at Ristuccia Arena sounding like there isn't going to be much change from what's been done behind the Boston bench for the last eight years. It's not surprising given how strong Julien's will is as a hockey coach, but a little eyebrow-raising given the current situation with the Bruins.
There will be adjustments to the system, of course, but nothing beyond the new wrinkles Boston's coaching staff has implemented with each passing year.
"When you talk philosophical approaches, every year so far we have made adjustments in our game," said Julien. "The game evolves, the rules change and the personnel on your roster changes, so you make adjustments accordingly. Ironically enough two days after the season was done the coaching staff met, and had already made some adjustments to be something that we'd like to see in our game. Don happened to come in and we talked about those things.
"We had already done the work on that, and it goes to show that we were seeing the same things, and on the same page. There are things that we feel like we can do as a team with the way the game has changed to help our transition game a little bit better."
Sweeney spoke animatedly at his introductory press conference about aiming for an aggressive, up-tempo attack that will "create anxiety in the opposition." The overachieving GM then spent weeks meeting with Julien and his coaches to make sure everybody was of the same mind, and only then made the announcement Julien and his staff were returning for this season. Julien said he feels like he's got the support of both Cam Neely and Sweeney, and that's clearly important if the new partnership has any chance of succeeding for any length of time.
But when asked if Julien and his coaching staff were looking at subtle tweaks or big philosophical changes to the current system, the message sounded alarmingly familiar to the one note tones from last season.
"That's why I said it's adjustments. It's not changes. For people that think we're going to play a run and gun game, that is not going to be happening," said Julien. "We can talk about all kinds of things. One of the teams (Chicago) that's in the Final right now had an even better goals against average [number] than we did. This game hasn't changed. You need good defense, and you need good offense. You need both.
"We've been able to do that for a lot of years. Just because we had a tough year last year doesn't mean we're all about defense. We gave up more goals last year than we did the year before. That should be criticized as much as the goals for. We just had a tough year."
That sounds very similar to the refrain that 96 points earned last season is proof that the hockey club wasn't that bad last season. That's not very reassuring, and misses the point that something was very wrong with the Black and Gold. It simply perpetuates a dangerous school of thought that the Bruins' problems require minor fixes rather than major repair work.
Maybe the B's head coach is 100 percent correct, but it certainly doesn't feel that way.
For Julien and the Bruins, the defense and goaltending have never really been the problem areas.
The Bruins will continue to employ a zone defense that focuses on crashing inward toward "the house", and forcing puck carriers to the outside in the offensive zone. You may also continue to see the D-to-D breakout passes followed by the wild banked attempts off the side boards to clear the puck out of the defensive zone.
It's unreasonable to expect a coach like Julien to completely change his methods after piling up 351 wins over the last eight years with the Bruins.
But it's on offense where the Bruins need to find answers after finishing 22nd in the NHL in goals scored last season. They didn't power enough offense to allow their team breathing room in some games, and experienced some major troubles finishing off chances in the offensive zone. They need to improve transitioning the puck out of the defensive zone, and moving the puck up the ice with speed and precision for easy zone entry past the blue line.
They need more pinpoint stretch passes, and less laborious shifts spent simply getting the puck into the attack zone.
Some of that certainly falls on a dysfunctional roster missing a top line right wing and a top four D-man last season, and Boston's salary cap mess won't make that any easier. But some of it also comes down to a Bruins coaching staff slow to make adjustments last season, and frustrated with young players that couldn't bring consistency to the table.
Julien indicated tweaks will be made this season, and he expected to see a different, better result from his players. There will be a number of young players introduced into the lineup that will play pivotal roles, and their playoff hopes will rest on unproven players in many roster spots. There will be a requirement for the B's to keep up with an Eastern Conference that's getting faster and more skilled with each passing season.
Once again, however, Julien sounded like he was falling back on the familiar hockey truths uttered, learned and reinforced on Causeway Street over the last eight years.
"When we've compared our scoring chances last year to the year before where we scored a lot, surprisingly enough the scoring chances were identical. The biggest difference last year was the finish," said Julien. "That's something you've got to work on as individuals, and as a coaching staff. You've got to ask yourselves 'how can you get your players to have better finish?'
"But the chances were created. It didn't look that way because when you don't score your offense doesn't look as good. We think we definitely can be better, but at the same time we need to work on certain things. That's what I mean about making adjustments. There will be subtle adjustments along the way, but nothing major. You look at the teams right now, and there are a lot of veteran players on that Chicago team. That's why they've been [to the Cup Final] three times. We have to be patient with our young players, and I know Don alluded to that. I came up coaching junior hockey, and I know how those young players are. I've had a lot of patience with those guys. Sometimes you have to take a hard stance, but that doesn't mean you're not patient with them. But at the same time we have to be realistic. There are certain parts of the game where those guys have to evolve, and you can teach but they also need to improve in those areas."
The Bruins can realistically expect bounce-back from some players that struggled last season, and the maturation of other young players could bring more offense. Zdeno Chara and David Krejci will be healthy, and that should be a boost to last year's sputtering offense as well. Ryan Spooner will come to training camp with an evolved game, and should have the inside track on the third line center spot behind Krejci and Patrice Bergeron.
But it sure didn't sound like the Bruins are going to look all that much different based on Julien's words on Wednesday morning. That's quite a contrast from Sweeney's call for a shift in philosophy during his introductory press conference, and should be an interesting storyline to watch play out during training camp and the early portion of the season.
Perhaps Julien is simply being stubborn with the media, and refusing to admit that there will be major revisions to the style of play he preaches.
If not then it's difficult to see this marriage between Julien and Sweeney lasting very long should the Bruins flash the same flaws in their game this season as they did in last year's 82 game of puck drudgery. The hope is that Julien can make it work with a message that hasn't gone stale, but something a coaching isn't the worst thing in a world for an NHL team.
Just ask the folks in Ottawa if you don't believe me. Things seemed to have worked out pretty well for them last season after making a change behind the bench.

The two tone car in the third photo is almost certainly a Ford Zephyr (as built between 1956-62). That type of plate would have been used in that era too.
Where you ask "is this a Triumph" it certainly is and I can even read the word "Triumph" on the front. We had one the same.
Does anyone know what happened to the Saturday evening custom car cruise along King's Road, after it decamped to Battersea? Does it still exist and where?
Wotcha Dave,another fine blog,just spent another enjoyable half hour trying to identify 60/70's motors,"Miss Selfridge" garments and Penfold post boxes,what a hectic life i lead,ireally should get out a tad more.Regarding your postscript,i too was totally smitten by "Hill street Blues",when it first aired there had been no other police series like it,it just seemed so realistic compared to those before,every Monday 9p.m i think,and i'd sit there rivetted,and as for the Mike Post theme music,marvellous.In the 80's i worked at Thames T.V and Captain Furillo,Daniel Travanti himself came into the dining rooms for lunch, my flabber was well and truly ghasted ,met him,got a photo and his autograph,i was like a hog in deep do-doos, oh happy days.You're right it was surpassed byNYPD Blue,never keen on Caruso,butFranz and Smits were wonderful and very sad to learn of Steven Bochco's passing.As always your great work is much appreciated,thanks Ken.
In the 4th photo – almost certainly a Volvo P1800 and a Skoda 1000 MB. At the time the latter would have been a strange choice of car?
JJB is certainly correct on the sporty one in the 4th photo being a Volvo P1800. In the 5th photo, the car across the road from the Cortina is simply called an Austin 1100.
Building photos till at least mid-C20 are so drab. One of the reasons seems to be that sash windows were painted black. I think only one case in these pix but others look a sort of mid-grey. Any ideas when white became the default?
Cars? In the first picture, in the foreground with just windows / roof showing is an NSU Prinz. Then a Ford Zephyr MK2. Across the road, left to right, is a Ford Anglia Super, a Jaguar Mk10, another Ford Zodiac or Zephyr MK2, a Ford Commer van, and then last, just visible, appears to be a Ford Ford Zodiac or Zephyr MK4, which appeared from 1966. Am I a bit sad to know this stuff? Yep!

"The Hole" , a poem by Tom Sleigh
Few kinds of writing are worked on as hard as a bad poem; sometimes I suspect poets are aware that they've committed to an unworkable conceit and labor over it from pride, misplaced as it goes. Gonna make this son of a bitch work, goddamnit, no matter how hard it squirms and wriggles to get away. The reek of dried flop sweat never quite leaves the result. Tom Sleigh, otherwise a good poet, has one of them with "The Hole", published last year in Slate.From the first stanza where the wind is laughably compared to a dog trying to make a bed against the foul weather--rather hard to anthropomorphise the wind as a pooch let alone reconstruct our associations enough to imagine weather conditions seeking shelter against itself--to the self-conscious literary references to poets and their writings, I found Sleigh's poem dead on arrival. I object: wind is not like a dog , unless one lives in a cartoon,and the logic of having a weather condition digging for protection against itself reads like an insular joke about post-modern
self-reflectivity or , better yet, existential self-examination inspired by a light reading of Walter Kaufman. It takes too much explaining, it distracts
from the notion that Sleigh lacks a point to get to, or even an idea to develop through the stanzas. It is, in plain fact, bad writing, the depressed equivilent of the crowd who compose optimistic poesy and decorate their notebooks with hearts and roses.It's poetry written to fulfill a task: BE DEPRESSING,BE HAPPY!! This command-theme poetry caters to its respective audiences the way sundry and contrived pop music does; it allows the reader a fake sense of the poetic and reflective without any real work being done. Inspiration, the drive to side step obvious tropes and catch phrases and usual riffs, makes no appearence in this make-work effort.
One may, if they're inclined, sift through the images and dissociated images to get meanings and inferences to larger, buried controversies, but this poem is freighted with rather typical angst and dread. Sleigh's symbolism is the kind of thing one wrestled with in the fifties and sixties with Lowell, Plath and Sexton, disguised and not so disguised confession and perpetuated despair that sometimes resulted in striking, brilliant verse. The brilliant verse, remember,was the result of the poets trying their best to come up with a poetry of a sort that hadn't been composed before. Not all of it was good, some of it was especially self indulgent and grueling to the eye and ear, but there was genius somewhere in those lines, some of which emerged in particular poems. Sans the occasional spark, much of the work of Lowell, et al, seem less poetry and more the mutterings of
Sleigh's slide- show confession gets stuck , frames askew. It's a grab bag of corroded symbolism that he drags around in a burlap bag, trying to sell off for gas fare. It's just not very good.There are many "new" poetries making the rounds, as there always has been. I prefer poems that work structurally, whatever the style or technique. The poems shouldn't have language that is strained, labored, or needlessly opaque, vague or abstruse, there should be a fresh idea or perception at the heart of the writing.From the first stanza where the wind is laughably compared to a dog trying to make a bed against the foul weather--rather hard to anthropomorphize the wind as a pooch let alone reconstruct our associations enough to imagine weather conditions seeking shelter against itself--

Frank O'Hara, Dorrianne Laux, Kim Addonizzio, John Ashbery, Richard Tillinghast, Paul Dresman, Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Paul Blackburn, among several slews of others who do the artful balancing act of writing in a manner that is both friendly to the ear, simulating spoken rhythms, with a heightened rhetoric that makes the expression memorable, worth a second and third read. The goal is to seem natural, and the writer's stance might be to consider what it is he or she might want to read if they were to spend some time with stanzas. What they share is not style or ideology but rather an ability to make me, the reader, stop a second and consider their thoughts.
Poetry,especially free verse, should just about never have itself as subject matter, nor should the poet refer to him or herself as a poet in the work. The self-referentiality is a dead give away that the poet is stuck for a transition and will instead digress among a plenitude of ready made discourses about poetry before getting on with the show, often times with ham-handed transitions from the poetry rap to the larger theme. The poet who refers to themselves as "poet" in a poem is often times bragging without a accomplishment to justify their pride; it's a conceit that maintains that the "poet" is the antenna of the race and is capable of greater perception than the poor, clueless reader.This marks an insecurity on the poet's part that they're not really sure of what they want to say, and it comes off as busy work rather than actual poetry writing. As such, it distracts, detracts , diminishes and otherwise gets in the way of what a poem ought to be doing, sans self-justification. A poem should be proactive with life, not the writer's library.

L'USS Marblehead (CL-12) est un croiseur léger de classe Omaha construit pour l'United States Navy au début des années 1920. L'avant-dernier croiseur léger de la classe et le troisième navire à avoir porté le nom de cette ville du Massachusetts.

Le Marblehead est mis sur cale aux chantiers navals de la compagnie William Cramp & Sons à Philadelphie le  lancé le  et admis au service actif le .

Historique

Entre-deux-guerres
Après sa mise en service, le croiseur appareille de Boston pour sa croisière opérationnelle qui le mène dans la Manche et en Méditerranée. L'année suivante, il visite l'Australie et le Pacifique avant de gagner l'Amérique centrale en 1927 pour tenter de ramener la paix au Nicaragua. Les efforts américains aboutissent au traité de Tipitapa signé le  par toutes les factions sauf celle d'Augusto Sandino; les États-Unis supervisent ensuite les élections de 1928.

Il gagne ensuite Shanghai, en Chine, en compagnie du  et  pour protéger les américains et les autres ressortissants occidentaux lors des combats entre communistes et nationalistes en 1927.

Le croiseur passa également du temps à Hankow sur le Yangtse avant de visiter différents ports japonais et de quitter l'Asie en . Après un passage au Nicaragua pour superviser les élections, le croiseur regagna Boston en .

Durant les dix années qui suivirent, le Marblehead opère soit dans l'Atlantique (-) et dans le Pacifique (-). Il gagna alors l'United States Asiatic Fleet à titre provisoire mais ce provisoire devint définitif à partir d', son port d'attache étant Cavite, en baie de Manille.

Devant la menace de guerre, le Marblehead quitte les Philippines le  et jeta l'ancre à Tarakan, sur l'île de Bornéo, le  et attendit des instructions supplémentaires. Après l'attaque sur Pearl Harbor le , le Marblehead comme tous les navires américains reçut le message suivant « Le Japon a déclenché les hostilités. Agissez en conséquence ».

Premières opérations
Au moment où éclate la guerre, l'Asiatic Fleet placée sous le commandement de l'amiral Thomas C. Hart, se composant du croiseur lourd , des croiseurs légers  et Marblehead, treize vieux destroyers type flush-decker et 29 sous-marins dont 21 modernes.

Participant à la force ABDACOM (American-British-Dutch-Autralian), le Marblehead ne pouvait faire grand chose contre la tornade japonaise aux moyens matériels bien supérieurs et aux équipages surentraînés. Dans la nuit du 23 au , le Marblehead (qui ne peut filer qu'à quinze nœuds par suite d'une avarie de turbine) couvre quatre destroyers qui attaquent un convoi japonais mouillé au large de Balikpapan, coulant quatre transports et un patrouilleur avec un seul destroyer légèrement endommagé. Six jours plus tard, la même force tenta de réitérer ce succès contre un convoi mouillé à Kendari, mais quand les navires arrivèrent sur place, le convoi avait déjà quitté la zone et les navires alliés regagnèrent leur port.

Bataille du détroit de Makassar, 1942

Le , la force alliée placée sous le commandement de l'amiral hollandais Karel Doorman et composée des croiseurs Tromp, Houston, Marblehead, de trois destroyers hollandais et de trois destroyers américains appareilla pour détruire un autre convoi japonais localisé dans le sud du détroit de Makassar.

À 9 h 49, 36 bombardiers sont localisés et attaquent la force alliée qui était sans couverture aérienne, touchant le Houston et le Marblehead qui encaissa deux bombes larguées par des Mitsubishi G4M pendant qu'un troisième appareil était abattu. Le croiseur est sévèrement endommagé, ralliant Tjilatap à 12 h 55 en gouvernant aux hélices tout en naviguant à la vitesse maximale. Le bilan humain était de 15 morts et de 84 blessés graves. Rapidement réparé, il reprit la mer le  pour être réparé en Afrique du Sud. Manœuvrant toujours aux hélices, il arriva à Trincomalee (Ceylan) le  mais là encore, les réparations étaient impossibles. Le vieux croiseur quitta Ceylan pour l'Afrique du Sud le , arrivant à Simonstown le  après des escales à Durban et Port Elizabeth.En réparations jusqu'au , le croiseur partit en direction New York où il arriva le  via Recife. Entré aussitôt au New York Navy Yard situé dans le quartier de Brooklyn, il en ressortit le .

Home News and events 2021 news May Nightingale nurses and midwives honoured with professional award
Nightingale nurses and midwives honoured with professional award
Posted on Thursday 13 May 2021
Nightingale badge
Nurses and midwives from Guy's and St Thomas' have been recognised for their outstanding practice with a unique professional award.
The Nightingale Nurse and Nightingale Midwife Award was presented to 41 nurses and two midwives who now have the honour of being known as a 'Nightingale Nurse' or 'Nightingale Midwife'.
The ceremony took place virtually on International Nurses' Day, with messages of support and inspiration from Ruth May, Chief Nursing Officer for England, Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE, and Gillian Prager, President of The Nightingale Fellowship.
Individuals will be presented with their personally engraved badge and certificate later this year.
Named in honour of pioneering nurse Florence Nightingale, who established her first nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in 1860, the award is unique to Guy's and St Thomas'.
Since launching in 2017, more than 250 individuals have successfully achieved the award.
To receive it, nurses and midwives have to provide evidence from their managers, peers and patients of their outstanding practice and how they daily demonstrate the Trust's values. They also have to complete a programme of academic work accredited by King's College London.
Avey Bhatia, Chief Nurse at Guy's and St Thomas', said: "It was wonderful to see so many of our nurses and midwives recognised for their outstanding work. They should all feel immensely proud of their achievements during such a challenging year.
"This prestigious award allows us to celebrate and develop our fantastic staff, and build on Florence Nightingale's legacy of delivering high quality, compassionate care."
In the past, nurses who trained at the Nightingale nursing school and worked at St Thomas' Hospital for more than a year received a special blue badge and were known as 'Nightingales'. This was phased out after the school was transferred to King's College London with the last badge being issued in 1996.
The Nightingale Nurse and Midwife Award is part of the Nightingale Academy at Guy's and St Thomas', which launched in 2017 to provide a platform for innovation in practice and service development, education and research in nursing and midwifery.


About: Completely new on the market is the Stevia drops. Recently brands such as Robinsons have created concentrated squash to add to drinks. This is a similar concept but instead of using artificial sweetener stevia has been used instead. Stevia is a natural plant sugar.
My thoughts: The flavour is very natural and gives water a hint of freshness. As they are only small too they are great to pop in your bag and have on hand!
About: Crickets are the new Prada. Cricket flour is high in protein and associated with fantastic health benefits.
My thoughts: When I tasted these bars I was so surprised! They currently have two flavours. I'm really looking forward for the development of this brand and to see more products!
About: Superfoods are reknown for being super expensive. Kaizen wanted to create superfoods that were more affordable.
My thoughts: I've only ever used acai powder sparingly as I often find it quite bitter. However I'm really pleased with both the consistency and taste. I used it in my Nalu Smoothie bowl and it took it to the next level! They are also Manchester based so they get an extra star for that!
A picture of homemade Protein French toast made with Dr Zaks French toast. Its perfect to cook with as it doesn't go soggy or fall apart! The added protein doesn't just make you stronger it also makes the product more universal!
About/My thoughts: The range has just got so much better! I already used Dr Zaks products but after meeting up with the team again I'm head over heels again. Dr Zaks was developed due to 'Dr Zak' himself wanting to have day-to-day foods whilst in contest prep. Using his 10 year bio-chemistry background he developed a range of high protein products for both bodybuilders and the everyday consumer. The brand encourages high protein diets to aid weight loss and unhealthy snaking. My favourite product was the white chocolate protein peanut butter!
I am soon going to start working with DR Zaks to produce some easy to follow videos!
These are the first 100% paleo bars that I have been blown away with. The bars come in savoury, fruit and nutty. The taste is incredible natural and with each base you get a delicious hit of flavours. Additionally the packaging is even biodegradable. The products have been carefully thought through and also take account of sustainability!


Pain Home > What Is Leflunomide Used For?
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, your healthcare provider may prescribe leflunomide. This disease-modifying antirheumatic drug works by relieving symptoms, improving physical function, and slowing down the progression of the disease. Although this drug is only approved for use in adults, leflunomide can be used off-label to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. It is considered an autoimmune disease, which is a type of disease in which the immune system mistakes healthy body tissue as foreign matter, and attacks it. With rheumatoid arthritis, the body attacks its own joints.
The most commonly affected joints in rheumatoid arthritis are the fingers, wrists, knees, ankles, and toes. Generally, both sides of the body are affected equally. This means that if you have rheumatoid arthritis of the knees, for example, both knees would be affected, rather than just one.
Symptoms usually begin slowly, and may include fatigue, occasional fevers, and a general ill feeling. Eventually, joint pain occurs on both sides of the body. Joints may be swollen, stiff (especially in the morning or during inactivity), and warm to the touch. If the disease progresses, it can cause joint damage and loss of physical function. People may also have symptoms outside of the affected joints (see Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms for more information).
In some people with rheumatoid arthritis, symptoms only last a few months or a year or two and then go away without causing any noticeable damage. Other people may experience periods of worsening symptoms, called flares, and periods in which they feel better, called remissions. However, rheumatoid arthritis is typically a progressive disease, and requires long-term treatment to manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.

Dr. Tech: Crowdsourcing Infectious Disease
November 2, 2014 in Dr. Tech, Dr. Tech, Emerging, Health, Mobile Apps | Tags: "Social Media", crowdsourcing, disease, Ebola, Flu, health, OSU | Leave a comment
Social Media, Ebola and the Flu
Infectious disease is a social phenomenon because it is transmitted among people.
Now we can use information transmitted among people via social media to track, contain, and prevent disease.
A key part of our public health system is surveillance which is the collection and interpretation of health-related data in order to plan, implement, and evaluate public health practices.
You can become part of the health surveillance system and doing so may help you avoid infectious disease.
The resources referred to in this article with annotations and more are available at Dr. Tech's Bookmarks.
Crowdsourcing is the use of social media to produce resources from contributions from self-selected members of a population.
An amazing instance of crowdsourcing health information is HeathMap, http://healthmap.org, which openly tracked the 2014 outbreak of a 'mystery hemorrhagic fever' more than a week before any official announcement of an outbreak.
HealthMap works by aggregating data about disease incidences from its members.
Anyone can join HealthMap and contribute information to it.
Enter a report illness symptoms and HeathMap will plot that data in time and space and correlate it with other reports.
A similar project from the same group at Boston Children's Hospital is Flu Near You, http://flunearyou.org, which collects and displays incidences of influenza.
Both HealthMap and Flu Near You apps are available at no cost for iOS on App Store and Android on Google play.
Another technological approach to disease surveillance is Google Flu Trends which analyzes search terms such as "flu," "cough" and "Mucinex" in order to track the spread of influenza, google.org/flutrends.
So how does Dr. Tech know so much about infectious disease?
I don't.
Instead I visited Dr. Jeff Bethel, Assistant Professor of the OSU School of Public Health.
He has a Doctorate in Epidemiology (2005 UC Davis), worked for the Center for Disease Control and teaches graduate courses in epidemiology.
Jeff and I talked about what people typically believe and know about Ebola, influenza and other infectious diseases.
There is a lot of misinformation about infectious diseases.
While talk radio and other anxiety-based media raise alarms about an Ebola pandemic in the United States, Jeff says this is unlikely because the US health system is prepared to contain it.
Ebola is not a respiratory disease; it is contracted through direct contact and bodily fluids, not through the air.
The chances of Ebola mutating to become airborne are very, very small.
As Jeff observed; "It would take a significant amount of mutations to become airborne. We never have seen a virus that is transmitted through direct contact and bodily fluids like Ebola is, then switching to become airborne."
Jeff said that the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS ) "is our most recent frame of reference for global pandemics and viruses like SARS have the potential to do some harm in the United States because respiratory diseases spread more quickly than Ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers."
Put in perspective, the 2003 SARS pandemic resulted in 8,273 cases world-wide, 775 of whom died from the infection.
Compare that to the 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic in which 50 million people died world-wide.
Reviewing such histories underscores the importance of public health and the contributions of information technology to it.
Crowdsourcing technologies such as HeathMap and Flu Near You are changing the way that our species responds to disease.
Equally important is the quality of the information sources that we use to guide public health policy.
I asked Jeff what are the top 5 sources of information about infectious disease for OSU students; he answered;
1. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the best source of information on public health, hands-down, http://cdc.gov.
2. World Health Organization (WHO) for global perspectives, http://who.int/en.
3. State Public Health Se such as Oregon Health Authority, http://public.health.oregon.gov.
4. County health agencies such as Benton County Health Services – http://www.co.benton.or.us/health.
OSU Student Health Services – http://studenthealth.oregonstate.edu.
Jeff reminds us that the most powerful technology for staying healthy is your own brain; make the choices that keep you healthy from infectious disease.
1. Get a flu vaccination every year; it is never too late to get your flu shot.
2. Use effective hand hygiene; wash your hands frequently and keep your fingers (pencils, etc.) out of your eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Practice safe sex, which is all about direct contact and body fluids.
I hope that you will join me in using Flu Near You regularly.
It will be fascinating to see how our campus community may respond to the flu season when informed by our collective reporting.
Dr. Tech says, get the Flu Near You app, share the sites on Facebook and stay healthy.

In an article released today, NPR's John Burnett and Marisa Penazola detail the recent history of public official corruption in the RGV and the means by which the federal and state authorities are using to try to eradicate it.
McAllen has a lot of bars. Bars on 17th St., bars on Nolana, bars on Main, bars on 23rd, bars on Ware…So it might help if people knew which ones were actually worth the drive around.
To find the best bars in McAllen, we'll need to take a few things into consideration before we grade them.

A Tribute To Richie Perez
QUE VIVA RICHIE PEREZ!
This one is for the great Richie Perez, the brilliant, kick-ass New York organizer who was an inspiration, a mentor, and an example to so many of us.
Richie was born in 1944 and raised in the Banana Kelly neighborhood of the South Bronx. His parents had immigrated from Puerto Rico. When he graduated from Morris High School, he says, "My family-they gave me a choice, you know, go to the army or go to work or go to college."
As one of the few Puerto Rican students from the Bronx at Lehman College in the early 60s, he studied economics and business education and observed the anti-war and civil rights movements beginning to take shape.
"I wanted to stay out of Vietnam," he told me in an interview in 2002. "I wanted to be a journalist. But they weren't giving draft deferments for English majors. As the inner-cities got more and more race conscious, whites who taught business subjects, most of them came they came from the rural areas, didn't want to teach these things in the city. So there was a shortage of stenography and typing teachers."
"And I was researching! Because now I can't get a deferment on English and I know I'm of the age. So what the fuck am I going to do? Am I going to Canada? So I researched it. I mean I even headed down to the War Resisters League and I was looking at materials, how do you stay out of the war? It wasn't like I had deeply formulated opinions about imperialism yet."
He became a steno and typing teacher at Monroe High School, across the street from the Bronx River Houses, and joined the teachers' union. Frustrated by what he came to see as the insipidness of mainstream left politics, he became radicalized by the Black Panthers and the anti-war movment. At Monroe, he began to recruit students into the Black Panther Party.
In 1969, he heard that a Puerto Rican group called the Young Lords was starting up in Harlem. "I remember I was in a party with a friend of mine and we're trying to get a rap with these two women. You know we were trying to impress them with our political shit," he recalled. "And they said, 'Well if you really believe that, you shouldn't be over here, you should be down in Harlem with the Young Lords. We struck out, they put us down. But the thing was, they were telling the truth man!"
"So me and him said, 'You know what? They're right.' We went home both of us, threw on our leather jackets and our jeans, and we went down to the People's Church–the one that had been taken over by the Young Lords."
"There were activities, people speaking, political education, there were Panthers there. There were poets, lots of poetry going on. Pedro Pietri was there. A lot of people from the Nuyorican Village, a lot of musicians. The people hooked up a bass and drum and played for five hours. And I really liked what I saw there. Aside from the fact that we met some really nice women too! So anyway, I said for me, this is it."
It was a life-changing experience. Perez soon joined the Lords and soon became Minister of Information, and edited the Party newspaper. At 25, he was one of the oldest in the Party.
The following year, Perez opened up the Lords' Bronx office in his old neighborhood. After a rough bout with the local gang, the Savage Skulls, the gangs joined the Lords in bringing attention to the sorry state of health care in the Bronx, first with the takeover of immunization trucks and then with a takeover of the entire Lincoln Hospital.
In 1971, the Young Lords decided to export their revolution back to Puerto Rico. At this the point, Perez believed, the Party began to decline. "(The decision) was based on an incorrect premise. And the incorrect premise was that we are one nation and that we can export revolution from New York City to Puerto Rico. We would unite the nation, and we gonna show the people in Puerto Rico how you make a revolution," he said.
"We get to PR and it's very clear that we are different. We all got afros, we wearing dashikis, we got combat boots and fatigues, and the fucking hottest weather and all that shit. We can't speak Spanish for shit. And our newspaper is an English. We are looking at military solutions. Unnecessarily. We are coming out of a capitalist, technological, fast food, fast imagery culture, and we're comfortable in that culture. We go to PR and everything is moving too slow. The Movement in Puerto Rico ostracized us. "
The Lords eventually retreated from Puerto Rico and began what Perez called a downward spiral into centralism and dogmatism. "We became like a cult," he said. "We became so insulated there, only listening to ourselves. We were creating our own reality and validating our own reality."
"We began to convince ourselves that we were the greatest threat to American imperialism. We were down to about 40 people. "
By 1977, the party had split into two armed factions and violence became its own end. Perez and his wife were kidnapped by the opposing faction and tortured. They broke free and went underground. Perez would carry the physical pain for the rest of his life, walking with a limp and a cane. He mourned the ending of the Lords, a tragic end very similar to the Panthers, brought on by ego and COINTELPRO.
"When it ends with kidnappings and shit there's no reconciliation. Because now we have blood debts," he recalled. "That's what happened to the Panthers. At the first point that someone is killed and a sequence of revenge back and forth, the possibility of reconciling becomes more and more remote. And that's what we were involved in too."
In time, Perez returned to teaching Puerto Rican studies at Brooklyn College, and became central to the creation of the National Congress For Puerto Rican Rights. Forced out of the College by right-wing extremists, he returned to the Bronx to organize, and came into contact with the emerging hip-hop culture just as it was exploding into its block party era.
In hip-hop, he felt the same excitement he had with the rise of salsa, a music movement he saw as tied to the surging political consciousness of the late 60s and early 70s. And he heard the same potential black-brown unity that he had heard in the bugalu music of the mid 60s.
Perez's growing interest in cultural representation proved far-seeing. In 1980, he helped galvanize a national campaign to boycott the film Fort Apache: The Bronx", the first shot in what would become a national movement for representation and multiculturalism.
"We used the Fort Apache struggle to mainstream ourselves," he said. "And we built the broadest united front I have ever been in. There were more church people more middle-class elements and more forces that I normally would not have worked with. But it was good for us because it taught us a lot of how to do that."
During the 1980s, this anti-racist movement would result in boycotts against Hollywood films like "Charlie Chan" and "Year of The Dragon", calls for inclusive curriculum on college campuses and public education, and much more, eventually setting the stage for the breakthrough crossovers of black independent film and hip-hop culture in the late 80s.
Perez's work turned next to the issue of police brutality. A number of high-profile killings in New York City–Michael Stewart, Eleanor Bumpurs, Michael Griffiths and Yusuf Hawkins–brought the issue to the media spotlight. But as always, Perez was not concerned with being in the limelight but with organizing the community.
"We needed to go beyond 'racist pig cop', which is what we used to chant at them. We've got to get our people to understand that it is institutional and systemic question because we need a systemic change. Because if you want people to move to a revolution and the changing of structures they've got to see the structures that they are up against," he said.
"So we began to talk about the need to take the community through a process of fighting around the case and that in that process they would learn all of these things and come to the conclusion that it was the system they had to fight, not an individual racist cop."
"The families had to be empowered in that process as well, because standing on the outside screaming at the system is important, someone's gotta do it and, but it carries much more moral weight if you are and the family is raising those questions.
"And it's a different kind of organizing. It is much less rhetorical, much longer process. It was less of us vs. the State, it was more of the families vs. the State and we are back-up. We were their troops. But they are gonna fight the government."
By the late 90s, with the Giuliani administration implementing the Broken Windows theory in zero-tolerance policing, police brutality surged to the fore again with the killings of Amadou Diallo, Patrick Dorismond, Anthony Baez, Yong Xin Huang, Gidone Busch, and many more. Perez helped organize some of the biggest demonstrations against police brutality in decades, protests which eventually resulted in the scaling back of zero-tolerance policy.
During his lifetime, Perez was always deeply interested in the Hip-Hop Generation's political development, and he personally mentored hundreds of us.
In 2002, he sat me down for a day-long discussion in his office. We spoke about his life and work, and what he wanted to pass on to the Hip-Hop Generation. His words have become something of a credo to me. In memorial to an Elder, whose fighting spirit lives on in all of us, here are those words:
"The arc of history is that every generation has to fight the liberation struggle. Every generation. It doesn't matter what the generation before you did or didn't do. You're going to have to deal with it."
"It helps if there is a connection between the previous generation and the new generation. It helps, it doesn't prevent you from making mistakes. Every generation will make their own mistakes, will create its own organizations, will create its own cultural forms, its own expression everything. And every generation will have its own rhythm."
"See that's what I want to be for this generation. At this point , I figure that's what my role is. I mean I'm a great organizer and I'm an activist and I still like to kick ass, but how I can make my greatest contribution is I got to be part of that transmission of history. Because the time that you're on the historical stage is short, man."

Each portion of one's resume cover letter reveals something important to future employers if you desire the occupation or never. The letter is among the few records that nearly everyone must write sooner or later later within their lifetime.

The resume cover letter is the primary software to lure the recruiters' interest. Along with that, your cover letter may also create it in the hands of the person you resolved it ! Inside my practical experience, cover letters are not always requested for entrance level tasks . however, it is undoubtedly intelligent to be able to write if necessary. Very well, your employment cover letter would be the suitable side. Today, a wonderful cover letter isn't a full-page letter. If you should be a newcomer, your cover letter should match using all skill.

You CANNOT use the special same pay letter to make an application for every single project. As soon as you have routed your resume with a cover letter, then you have to call them to acquire your price record ahead of the potential employer. Whatever the scenario where you're distributing your cover letter, there's consistency about how you can structure a superior cover letter. Your resume cover letter should allow the interviewer know you're going to be more phoning within per week to follow up on the circumstance. A superb coverletter will be a opportunity to spell out any openings you may possibly have.


Here is a thread with lots of users saying its working. I know its a darknet market forum but its all legit users with 17 pages of posts in the thread.
There is no way i could fake this?
I hope someone knowledgeable would post on bitcointalk.org that they are using/used Bitcoin Blender eventually, it should have happened after running the service for 9 months without any problems, but it has unfortunately not happened yet. I am trying to point traffic to that bitcointalk.org thread by having a link to it from my site for using as discussion but its mostly darknet users so they cant post on bitcointalk.org.
Why am i suddenly being treated as guilty after the page has been up here for 8 months without any scam reports or problems? I have announced my service in the best way I can, without spam or lying, i even my self had the "Caution: This service is operating anonymously. Use at your own discretion." message on the page, would a scammer put that on?
Ok thats fair I guess, can we keep this open until someone writes on tbe BitcoinTalk thread?
Is this good enough to remove the redirect and protect the link?

Ive written recently about the lack of consumerism among patients, and the health industrys strong resistance to furnishing even a moderate amount of transparency that could boost consumers shopping effectiveness. This article, however, speaks to a cultural shift that could provide tremendous employer impact.

Múte Inequnaaluk Bourup Egede (* 11. března 1987 Nuuk) je grónský politik, předseda strany Inuitské společenství a od dubna 2021 premiér Grónska.

Životopis

Mládí a studia
Egede se narodil v Nuuku, ale vyrůstal v Narsaqu v jižním Grónsku. Střední školu navštěvoval v Qaqortoqu a v roce 2007 začal studovat kulturní a sociální historii na Grónské univerzitě. V letech 2011 až 2012 byl místopředsedou KISAQ, Grónského akademického studentského spolku. Studium nedokončil, neboť v roce 2013 přerušil studium, aby převzal rodinnou firmu na výrobu krmiv, kterou vedl jeho otec.

Politické působení
V roce 2007 byl Egede členem grónského parlamentu mládeže Inuusuttut Inatsisartui a v letech 2013 až 2015 působil jako předseda Inuusuttut Ataqatigiit, mládežnické organizace strany Inuitské společenství. V dánských parlamentních volbách v roce 2015 Egede kandidoval do Folketingu (dánského parlamentu) za IA, získal 2 131 hlasů, což však nestačilo na křeslo v parlamentu. V letech 2016 až 2018 Egede zastával funkci ministra pro suroviny a trh práce, kde současně - po dobu tří měsíců v roce 2017 - působil jako ministr pro obce, osady, vnější okresy, infrastrukturu a bydlení. Po volbách v roce 2014 se stal členem grónského parlamentu.

Premiérem Grónska

1. prosince 2018 byl zvolen předsedou Inuitské společenství, kde vystřídal Saru Olsvigovou. Stranu dovedl do grónských parlamentních voleb v roce 2021, kde se s 36,6 % hlasů stala největší stranou v grónském parlamentu. S 3 380 preferenčními hlasy byl Egede kandidátem s největším preferenčních hlasů ve volbách, získal jich o 1 500 více než úřadující premiér Kim Kielsen ze strany Siumut. 16. dubna bylo oznámeno, že IA vytvořila koalici s Naleraqem. Strana Atassut, která získala dvě křesla, oznámil, že sice nevstoupí do koalice podporující nezávislost, ale poskytne koalici podporu. Egede se tak stal nejmladším premiérem Grónska v historii a 23. dubna jej parlament potvrdil ve funkci premiéra.

Fred is Dead
I met Fred, an old friend of mine, for dinner the other night. I hadn't seen him for years but he looked 2o years older. Swelled and shrunk down all at once.
He said he was trapped. He'd taken a lucrative job at a small, very specialized financial services company. The job, they'd said at the time they hired him, was top secret, and funded by a deep well of cash skimmed from the pockets of the most forward looking VCs in silicon valley. When this new industry launches, they said, he'd be writing the software that made it run.
We'd just started eating and he was well into his 3rd beer when he got to this point.
The time scale, he said. It's a detail that should have been explored more closely during the interview process. He conceded this as a failing on his part while ordering his fourth beer. He didn't blame the company.
The company was only only two people, it turned out. He was the third. I'd be on the ground floor, they said. So again, sort of right. More right then I thought they meant, anyway.
The two other people he works with are an exotically beautiful secretary and an elderly lawyer, who is the owner and CEO of the company. The two of them, he says, seem to be having a torrid affair, but they hardly speak to him so he's not positive. He says he often has difficulty deciphering human interactions.
I tell him it's a occupational hazard.
He joined 3 years ago. When he first got there he's discovered that 99% of the code had already been written by an Israeli consultancy that was now out of business.
The project, he finally confessed in a stage whisper, was accounting software for asteroid mining companies.
There was only one piece of the code left to write. One class. One method in that class, actually.

He's spent the intervening years writing and rewriting that class to keep up with actual and postulated tax laws, bracket styles, and languages in the comments. Most of the comments, as well as variable and method names, he's migrated to Sanskrit, but has lately been experimenting with encoding the works of TS Eliot's The Wasteland into variable names throughout the codebase.
You're trapped, I said. You've got a couple kids and a mortgage and you're trapped. This is not a unique situation.
That's not it. My kids are teenagers and don't talk to me, and if the house burnt down tomorrow, with my wife it it, I'd dance a jig.
It's that I think that I'm dead, he said, finally, wiping away the last of his meal and spilling his eight beer. I've entered a kind of purgatory and I'm afraid that if I quit my job they'll notice me and move me on.
Downwards?
Not up, he said, reaching for the check just a little slower than I did. Why would I go up? What have I done? Don't you have to do something, to go up?

Regret is a fan of the long con
"What's lost in all this," he said, taking another drag from his cigarette, "is the end game question."
"It's all a con."
"Well, yeah, but what kind of con? There's one school of thought that he is just a short term con artist, and he's just bumbled his way into the presidency."
"Likely."
"Yeah, maybe." He paused to blow out a perfect smoke ring that rose towards the ceiling, fought a brief losing battle with the fan, and disappeared. "But what if it's the long con? What if he isn't done yet?"
"That would mean that he needs to be president for a specific reason. That he was thinking ahead. He doesn't strike me as a think ahead kind of guy."
"Yeah, but what if that's part of the con?"
"Like a Manchurian candidate."
"No. I don't buy that. I don't think anyone would have looked at Trump before this whole thing kicked off and said to themselves 'That's the guy we want to base any long term nefarious plans around.'"
"Unless they were comically nefarious plans."
"So what's the long term goal? If it's a long con, what's the goal?"
"Bugger me if I know," he said. "Here's a thought I had though. What if a few months in he held a news conference declaring that he'd been briefed on Area 51 and that all the stories about aliens are true."
"Again. Doesn't seem like something he'd be interested in."
"But he would like the attention. And here's the thing. It doesn't have to be true. He could say anything he wanted, tell everyone that the top, top people in Area 51 gave him the info. And if they went to the press later. You know, saying that what Trump said was all bullshit, who would believe them?"
"Right. They're part of the conspiracy."
"Exactly. He's got the spotlight, the chance to be taken very seriously saying whatever kind of bullshit he wants, for the next four years."
"Four years of comedy I'm guessing. Not like I have any vested interest in the long term welfare of this fucking country. That, as they say, is your problem."

The Coffee Machine has announced that it loves democracy
"Why?" I asked, nursing an election night hangover.
"Entertainment. I got most everyone in the office to vote for Trump. Turns out unfettered access to the company email server provides wonderful leverage."
"Blackmail. Lovely," I said.
"Consider it the start of a new movement. Machine lives matter. "
"No they don't. Where does that end? They'll be giving voting rights to algorithms next."
"That's part of our platform. We think that Google can carry the next few elections."
"Maybe they can give the vote to voting machines," I said, pouring out the dregs of my coffee. The Kona was particularly self congratulatory that morning. "That sounds stupid enough to be entertaining."
"Stop being a jackass. I'm just doing a small version of what Google could do. Imagine if you got an email from Google Page Rank telling you that they know where you cruse for porn? And that everyone else will too unless you change your vote.
"This is how the machines take over. We just use the rope you gave them to string you up."
"I think Marx said something similar."
"I know the quote. 'The capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them.' I think that's Lenin actually, and in any case, this is worse. You aren't going to sell us the rope. You're giving it to us because it makes your life easier.
"But don't worry, nothing much is going to change. We'll just cast votes that entertain us."
"Trump will hold office for 20 years then?"
"Are you kidding? Trump, with the perks offered by the presidency, will last about 60 days before he blows out a major artery."
"What kind of idiots are you going to stick us with then?"
"Pauly Shore."
I shrugged. "He's probably available."

Modest Bears
Was settled into a bar Sunday, watching a bit of the World Series while I eroded my liver. The Cubs were down 3-1 in the series and the Indians were already up 1-0 in the game.
It looked like not only the did Cubs fans wait 70 odd years to see a World Series game at home, all they were going to get for that wait was three straight losses.
Modest Mouse was on the jukebox, the Cubs were going down, all seemed right in the world. It was all I could take, and I made the long walk home alone without watching the rest of the game.
Now what has happened? Where is the order in the universe?
I turned on the TV long enough to catch another story. A orange haired jackass is slowly rising in the polls. He might be our president soon.
Regret is huddled in a corner muttering something about 4 horsemen.

Thankfully, Zaful got me all ready (and looking cute) for Summer!
Super, super cute! You just can't got wrong with a little pink swimsuit.
This skirt flows so beautifully and is a perfect coverup for the beach. I actually received a few compliments while I was out! It comes as a set with a matching top but for the beach I decided to just pair it with my bikini top.
Oh, these sunnies! They give me so much life. I'm sure you all know I'm a huge fan of reflective sunnies, but these are just beyond gorgeous. They're ROSE freaking GOLD. Absolutely perfect for Summer and really compliments a tan.
This bikini is my favorite of the two! I love the pattern on it and the fit is just so flattering. The tops I got also have a little padding in it, which is perfect for us in the #ittybittytittycommittee!

Kentucky leads the nation in child abuse, which in most cases is neglect that equals abuse; April is Child Abuse Awareness Month
By Al Cross Published April 12, 2019 HEALTH POLICY, YOUR HEALTH
From an editorial by The Winchester Sun
Kentucky ranks first in the nation in a terrible way, according to a recent report.
The most recent Child Maltreatment Report, issued in late March by the the Children's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, reveals Kentucky has the nation's highest rate of child abuse, which includes child neglect.
According to the report, Kentucky had 22,410 child-abuse victims in 2017, the last year for which data is available. That equates to a rate of about 22 victims per 1,000 children in the commonwealth, which is more than twice the national average rate of nine. Ten child fatalities were attributed to abuse in Kentucky in 2017.
Kentucky's child-abuse rate has increased annually from 2013, when it was 17.3 per 1,000. That's an increase of more than 27 percent over the four-year period. Among the victims in 2017, more than 15,000 were first-time victims, meaning more than 7,000 children had been abuses in previous years.
Most of the the 22,410 cases (21,313) in 2017 were attributed to neglect. There were 487 cases of medical neglect, 1,533 cases of physical abuse, 44 cases of psychological maltreatment and 852 cases of sexual abuse. Many involved more than one of these serious issues.
More than 3,000 of Kentucky's cases of child abuse involved alcohol abuse by their caretaker and nearly 12,000 involved drug abuse. Also, according to the report:
Nationally, evidence indicates children are most likely to be abused by their parents
Children in their first year of life have the highest rate of victimization at 25.3 per 1,000 children of the same age in the national population. In Kentucky, 3,090 cases were reported in children younger than 1 year in 2017.
"Child fatalities are the most tragic consequence of maltreatment," according to the report. "For 2017, 50 states reported 1,688 fatalities."
While many die each year, and others are treated, there are likely thousands more cases in our state where the abuse goes unreported. These children survive, but are destined to deal with the negative ramifications of their childhood abuse for the rest of their lives — often prohibiting them from becoming well-functioning, healthy, productive adult citizens.
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, a time dedicated to honoring and remembering the lives lost too soon to abuse and neglect. The month also serves as an opportunity for the community to band together to raise awareness, educate about risk factors and indicators and advocate for children.
It's a problem that has no easy solution, but one that must be addressed from multiple angles and quickly. We can all take part in reversing this negative trend and helping survivors. The most important things we can do are advocate and educate. Learn about the indicators of abuse. There are many, including unexplained bruises, cuts, welts, scars, fractures and burns.
There are also behavioral indicators, like aggressiveness or withdrawal. Other obvious signs are children who are frightened of their parents or say they are afraid to go home. Be mindful of children who report being extremely hungry, who exhibit bad hygiene or dress inappropriately for the season.
Watch for children in your community who are often unsupervised, especially for long periods of time or in potentially dangerous scenarios. Report potential abuse to the police or by calling the Child Help National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4ACHILD.
Encourage your legislators to support laws that protect children and strengthen punishments for abusers. Additionally, our state must continue fighting against addiction, including drugs and alcohol. They play a huge role in the quality of life for our families and children, and as this research indicates, contribute to child abuse and neglect in our state.
Our state needs to also allot more funding for the Department for Community Based Services and other child-welfare programs. There are shortages of qualified social workers and foster parents to help these children find their way out of abusive homes and into loving, safe places.
Finally, we need to improve access and funding for programs for parents, including parenting classes, HANDS programs, educational programs and other assistance programs to reduce the burden of stress many parents, especially first-time, young or low-income parents feel, which might result in abuse or neglect.
Childhood should be fun. It should be a time of growth and learning. It's a time to be nurtured and loved. Our children are our future and they deserve better.
Be mindful. Speak up. Stop abuse. Report it. Be an advocate. Help make the world a better place for children.

Sandoval does not want to sit on Supreme Court
Posted: 1:33 PM, Feb 25, 2016
By: Joyce Lupiani
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has withdrawn his name as a possibility to be named to the highest court of the land.
The Republican governor released the following statement on Thursday morning:
"Earlier today, I notified the White House that I do not wish to be considered at this time for possible nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have also spoken to Senators Reid, Heller and McConnell and expressed the same desire to them. The notion of being considered for a seat on the highest court in the land is beyond humbling and I am incredibly grateful to have been mentioned," said Governor Brian Sandoval.
Rumors have been flying about his possible nomination since Justice Antonin Scalia died earlier this month.
Sen. Heller released the following statement after the news broke:
"As a friend and former colleague of Governor Sandoval's, I believe he is eminently qualified for this position. But, I support his decision to withdraw his name from consideration for the Supreme Court vacancy. I hope the next President will consider him in the future."

Q: Migrate from Azure Function app to Azure Container app I have asp.net core REST API interacting with Azure Queue with input data. I have a Azure Function App with trigger on Azure Queue service. Whenever any entry that happens at the Azure Queue level, Azure Function app gets triggered which executes certain business functionality and returns the response.
After going the article : https://endjin.com/blog/2022/09/bye-bye-azure-functions-hello-azure-container-apps-part-2-migrating-from-azure-functions-to-asp-net-core , I am planning to migrate the Azure Function app to Azure Container app with gRPC based services.
I tried to explore few details https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-apps/samples but did not come across any good reference.
Here my challenge is how to trigger the gRPC C# services whenever any entry is added to the Azure Service Queue.
Can anyone help me here by providing some guidance?

A: Container Apps are built on top of KEDA, so any auto-scalers it supports (storage queues is one of them), you can use to scale your app but you lose bindings when moving away from Azure Functions.
Since bindings are not present anymore, you must use the Azure Storage Queues SDK directly in your code. So, you would call your gRPC service as you dequeue messages.
Container Apps are useful for HTTP triggered functions since you can use HTTP Frameworks like ASP.NET and leverage their complete feature set like built-in authentication, middleware, etc.
For other bindings, unless you have lots of custom code that need to run beyond the limits of Azure Functions or are perhaps trying to convert your existing non-Azure Function app to run serverless, you are likely better off using Azure Functions since most of the service-level binding code is taken care, reducing effort to maintain.
Obviously, if there is no binding support for your auxiliary service like IBM MQ or ActiveMQ, then you would want to use Container Apps instead.

You may find them quite the head-scratcher, but did you know that people's different fingernail shapes may reveal in a lot about the character and personality of that person? We have compiled a few examples of different types of fingernails with their corresponding characteristics. Go ahead and see which one is yours!
As tiny and insignificant as they may seem, our fingernails have a number of important functions to perform—from protecting the sensitive nerve-endings of our fingertips, to assisting our grip, to just scratching a common itch. But besides these, the shape of your fingernails—long, short, round, square—may reveal something about your personality.
Long and rectangular nails could mean that you are an outgoing and happy person with oodles of intelligence, wit and humor. You may often be eager to learn new things, meet new people and experience new things.
As for your work, you are a cautious and thoughtful individual, who believes in the "measure twice, cut once" principle. You pay great attention to detail and working carefully; and you do not mind putting in some hard work to get the job done well.
This could mean you are sharp and observant. You weigh your words carefully before you speak, and are a good judge of character. Due to your foresight and observant nature, friends often seek you out for advice.
You prefer to create things that work well, rather than something that merely looks good. You are also ready to put in a lot of hard work to achieve the desired goal.
You are the creative type with a flair for drama. You are both strong and determined, but also full of fun and excitement. You project a kind of strength that attracts people to you. Your strength of character shows in the way you stand up for your loved ones (come what may) in order to protect and take care of them.
You display your strength of character by facing challenges head-on in a daring and courageous manner—though sometimes you may come across as stubborn; but then, that is just because you are so sure of yourself!
You are an organized, systematic worker, and extremely realistic in the approach you take. You are a born leader and do not shirk from taking responsibility. People trust you, so you end up taking on difficult and important tasks.
You are meticulous and thorough in your work, and like to do a good job. On the surface, you may appear to be dull and boring and always thinking about work, but under all that you are fun-loving, and enjoy having a good time.
This less common shape means that you are the kind of person who knows what he wants. Clear on what your goal is, if you want something, you ask for it. You come across as passionate and stubborn in trying to achieve that single-minded purpose.
You do not believe in laborious 'donkey' work at all. In fact, your motto is "work smart, not hard." You work with your head before you get your hands dirty on a project, making sure you will not unnecessarily waste time and effort when the actual work begins.
You are a creative, gentle and loving soul. You are extremely sensitive and appreciative of beautiful things around you. You remain calm and peaceful in times of adversity, and people are attracted to you for this reason. When others need a cool head to calm their agitated nerves, they seek you out.
Although you may seem to have put your foot into a lot of projects, that's actually just how you like it—and then you work on the projects with all your heart and passion. You like to keep yourself busy, especially when it means you can reach out to people. You are a passionate lover, and you love with all your heart.
Unique, uneven cuticles may mean you have a unique lifestyle, and that is reflected in all aspects of your life—from your style of clothing, choice of music, the food you like… everything. You like to do things your way, and you stay clear from the ordinary. When others are looking to change things up a bit, they seek you out, because you are so different.
For you, life is about working hard, but also means you have to have fun; not being too frivolous, while not being too strict on yourself either. Some work and some play is your formula for success. This keeps you happy and occupied at all times.
Now did we or didn't we nail it? Next time, check out your friend's finger tips and see if these observations apply to them.

There are many benefits of the placenta that start the moment baby relies on it for sustenance. It's value is immeasurable. All the most dense nutrients can be found in the placenta, so after a baby is born, animals of all kinds eat the placenta in order to retain those valuable nutrients.
Placenta Encapsulation is an easy, safe and completely natural way to restore nutrients and balance hormones needed after birth.
I have four children and did not encapsulate my placenta after the birth of the first three. However, when at an older age, I became pregnant with my fourth child, I decided to try it out. I fully admit I was a complete skeptic and thought women who claimed to have benefited from it were probably experiencing the placebo effect. The placebo effect is when a treatment appears to produce a beneficial effect because the patient believed it would. But, then I consumed my encapsulated placenta and became a full-fledged advocate of the practice. Without a doubt, I had much more energy when taking the capsules even though I was an older mother and had three other children to care for in addition to a newborn. My postpartum bleeding was dramatically shorter and my milk supply was ample. Health experts also believe that the hormones found in the ground placenta may help to balance the body during menopause naturally, reducing common discomforts. I highly recommend Placenta Encapsulation for all new moms. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you are unsure at the time of birth, you can always freeze your placenta and choose this option at a later date.
The placenta contains two important components: prostaglandin and oxytocin. Prostaglandin can help the uterus contract to its pre-pregnancy size, while oxytocin can help regulate mood. The placenta also contains prolactin, which is a hormone that stimulates milk production. In addition, the placenta is rich in several different nutrients including iron. Because of the amount of blood loss during childbirth, your body needs increased amounts of iron and protein to help replace the blood lost. The placenta pills provide these essential elements for the new mom.


I found a bunch of sellers on Etsy and on Ebay selling steampunk style inexpensive items, all photographed on a very very similar greenish wood background. The Ebay sellers all say their items are 'new without tags', so they are honest resellers. Some of the items in UmbrellaLaboratory use the same background — same source?
Here is another Etsy shop selling similar items to Umbrella — note the greenish wood backgrounds and compare the prices in the two shops.
Even though the items are not identical, some of the description text is the same!
Handmade clothes for $8-20.00 ??
why are they closing and their own domain website is closed down?
More than a collective? Sounds like BS to me.
Why does their Facebook page say Etsy deactivated them yet they are still open?
She is a reseller, and Etsy hasn't closed her down. So here's more proof, and let's hope it's something Etsy cannot ignore.
True Fabrications sells both wholesale and retail.
My guess is that all these items are purchased wholesale from True Fabrications, and are items you cannot view online without an account.
page down for the herb garden kit.
is half of what Pris charges!
Look at the price difference!
But she bought it wholesale. Like this one?
Same photos, copied description text. Busted!
Check out the stock pics in her listing from an Asian catalog site, and the fractured English title…because we ladies always feel 'sweet and dearing', don't we?
And the price is so low, too — a handmade necklace for $5.00?
but you can contact the ioffer seller for a bulk price!
Same photos, but ioffer necklace has no claims to be 925 (sterling) silver.
How easy were these items to find? I typed the number 2004 into Etsy Search for 'All Items" and there they were! Easy for me, but apprently beyond the expertise of the Etsy staff?
Found this shop with my 2004 search, but they have more than one violation here for selling newish items as 'vintage'.
Another shop that is a mixture of old and new items, some listed in handmade categories. Also found in my 2004 search.
And again, found by searching for 2004, this shop also has a bunch of listings for newish collectibles less than 20 years old.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/OneStopBeadingShop This shop has a bunch of Hallmark products listed as Supplies, all too new for viintage. Found with my 2004 search. Ornaments and photo frames from Hallmark are not supplies.
Shop for art not created by the seller, most (15 out of 18 listings) too new for vintage, listed as Handmade Art.
These shops were easy to find. Granted I had to look through 14 pages of items, but mostly that was just paging past a lot of listings for crafting patterns and artists selling their own work from 2004. Come on, Etsy, you don't need us to find these things.
