DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — When Manal Saab heard that a massive explosion had struck Beirut, she grabbed her phone, frantically trying to reach loved ones there.
The news she received was good: Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, both of whom live not far from the Lebanese capital's port that was devastated by the Aug. 4 blast, were vacationing at the time.
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived it," said Saab, an American citizen who lives in Fenton, Michigan, near Flint, but was born in Lebanon.
Knowing that her family and friends were safe, a feeling of relief washed over Saab.
That changed quickly, though. And her focus turned to a different kind of relief.
Within a few days, she and her daughter, Rashal Baz Zureikat, a lawyer, had created the Lebanon Relief Project and were starting to solicit contributions from across the U.S.
Santa Barbara, California-based humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief has sent more than $20 million in medicine, personal protective equipment and supplies to Beirut. More than half of that amount was delivered via a FedEx-donated airlift that also included relief supplies from the American Task Force on Lebanon and the Lebanon Relief Project.
"People were just waiting to help. They just wanted something to immediately give to, they wanted all that pain to basically get out and give something positive," Saab said. "They wanted to turn all that negative energy into something that will give them some satisfaction that they're able to reach Lebanon somehow."
The massive blast killed nearly 200 people and injured more than 6,000 when 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated at Beirut's port. It also devastated several neighborhoods, shattering thousands of residential, historic and other buildings. It is considered to be one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded.
The cause of the explosion still is not known, but it is widely seen as the culmination of decades of corruption and mismanagement by Lebanon's ruling class. It came on top of an unprecedented economic crisis. Poverty and unemployment are soaring, made worse by the coronavirus pandemic. And the medical community was left reeling as it continues to navigate and keep up with the explosion's devastating long-term effects.
The dire situation in a nation once known as a regional hub for banking, real estate and medical services has drawn intense interest in Michigan, which is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arabs outside the Middle East.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib raised "a significant amount of money" via an email campaign, said the Detroit Democrat, who added that she even knew of a girl who brought in some cash for the people of Beirut earned through a lemonade stand.
"Even if you are not Lebanese, just being an Arab American … I felt the connection in a big way to what happened and the need to help," said Maha Freij, director of the Dearborn-based Center for Arab American Philanthropy.
CAAP has partnered with the ATFL/Lebanon Relief Project in fundraising to support the expense of logistics and shipments.
Everyone involved in relief efforts says more needs to be done to assist Lebanon because, as Saab points out, the situation has gone "from bad to worse," due to a COVID-19 surge and strained resources in the aftermath of the explosion.
"We're not going to stop," Saab said. "Because if we don't (help), who will?"

The tool allows the phone to work something like a photocopier, capturing the content of any document so that it can be shared, edited, printed or just saved away. On the show, Piers Morgan noted that the tip has spread across the internet recently, and shared it with fellow presenters – though all of them said they had used the tool before.

The global dental cement market is projected to record a CAGR of 5.39% during the forecast period, 2021-2028
The market growth drivers include the increasing burden of teeth loss, teeth misalignment, teeth gap, and the rising number of dental cavity cases. MARKET INSIGHTS Dental cement has the ability to close gaps.New York, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "GLOBAL DENTAL CEMENT MARKET FORECAST 2021-2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06007667/?utm_source=GNW The dental cavity is becoming a common problem among the world population.According to the WHO, of the 3.9 billion people with oral diseases in 2017, half were affected by dental caries. Untreated tooth decay has become a prominent oral condition. Dental decay is a result of plaque formed on the surface of the tooth, converting free sugars into acids that destroy the tooth. It is caused when the residues of carbohydrate foods, like candies or cakes, remain in the teeth. The bacteria in the mouth feed on these foods, producing acids that destroy the enamel of teeth.Further, the aging population is at a higher risk of oral diseases like dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, xerostomia, and tooth loss.Due to the growing number of dental cavity cases, glass ionomer and composite resins are used for restoring teeth.Such factors are set to influence market growth. However, implant failures and high operational costs are set to hinder the market growth.REGIONAL INSIGHTSThe global dental cement market is geographically segregated into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and rest of world, for growth assessment.North America is evaluated to dominate the global market by 2028.This is accredited to the growing aging population, which has resulted in the increasing number of oral surgeries and dental implants.COMPETITIVE INSIGHTSThe competitive rivalry in the market is estimated to be moderate, with the presence of private and public companies.

Gold Eases and Copper Gains Before Yellen Hearing on Stimulus
(Bloomberg) -- Gold edged lower and copper rose before commentary from Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen on the dollar and stimulus when she testifies on Capitol Hill a day ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration as president.Yellen's Senate confirmation hearing is likely to feature foreign-exchange policy, and will also serve as the first congressional forum where lawmakers will vet Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan, parts of which have already drawn opposition. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported Yellen is expected to affirm the U.S.'s commitment to market-determined exchange rates."I struggle to see Yellen saying anything that won't eventually turn out to be gold supportive," said Ole Hansen, head of commodities strategy at Saxo Bank A/S. "Saying that the administration will not pursue a weak dollar policy is not the same as saying they won't allow the dollar to weaken."Bullion has fallen about 3% this year as benchmark Treasury yields and the dollar climbed on forecasts that coronavirus vaccines and stimulus packages will aid the economic recovery. That's cast a shadow over a metal that had its biggest gain in a decade last year.The technical picture for gold is also beginning to look challenging, with two of its moving averages getting close to forming a death cross -- typically signaling a protracted decline."Gold traders and investors are going through a bit of a confidence crisis following the recent dollar and yield spike," said Hansen. "Hedge funds cutting longs by 31% last week is a clear sign that current price action is not giving any strong buy signals."Spot gold lost 0.2% to $1,837.01 an ounce by 1:27 p.m. in London, after rising 0.7% on Monday. Silver fell, while platinum and palladium gained. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index weakened 0.2% and inflation-adjusted Treasury yields increased.Meanwhile copper's rally, which has been fueled by expectations of a post-pandemic global economic recovery, may have further to run.The London Metal Exchange's copper spread is on the verge of switching to backwardation, a structure pointing to insufficient immediate supplies. In China, the top consumer of the metal, the Yangshan premium, a gauge of the import demand, rose to the highest since August, following record annual inbound shipments in 2020."We expect a pullback in copper prices in the short run, but market deficit conditions and falling exchange inventories globally point to another leg higher thereafter," UBS Global Wealth Management analysts including Dominic Schnider wrote in a note dated Monday. The analysts expect copper to reach $9,500 a ton by the middle of the year.Copper rose 0.6% to $8,017.50 a ton on the LME. Aluminum fell 0.7%, while zinc was little changed.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Language learning always fascinates me, so I took a fresh look at language learning and bilingual learning. As usual, I found some very interesting information to share with you.
As a result of this kind of mental gymnastics, bilingual children are more adept as solving certain kinds of mental puzzles. They are better at problems involving sorting than monolingual children. They are, also, more aware of their surroundings which translates into more efficient use of their brains. The higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia.
So what does this mean to you as a parent? For my Malaysia readers, keep up the good work. Virtually every Malaysian family that speaks two or more languages in the home. You are helping, not hindering your child's learning. The best way to introduce a child to a foreign language is through immersion. This means no translating new words into the child's first language. If you are a bilingual family, take advantage of each one speaking their native tongue to the child.
For my American readers, find ways for your child to be exposed to other languages besides English. If you don't have family members who speak different languages, consider hiring a babysitter who will speak another language with your child. Since the fastest growing and largest minority group in America are Spanish speakers, consider preschool exposure to native Spanish speakers.
Here are some language learning activities for toddlers and preschoolers. Everyone who has time with your child should do these activities in their own mother tongue to give your child a rich language heritage.
Sing songs, recite nursery rhymes, teach finger plays, and social games like peek-a-boo.
Talk about everything you are doing while with your child. Describe your actions and everything your child can see. This ties the language to an act or object making the words come alive and have meaning for the child.
Call things by name. When your child can identify an object you name, expand their vocabulary by describing its color, shape, size, and weight. Begin this long before your child can 'say' the words.
Lead by example. Don't copy the child's baby talk. Model correct grammar, complete sentences, and proper pronunciation.
Talk with, not at, your child. Encourage conversation by listening and then responding. Carry on back and forth conversations. Pay attention, listen with your eyes.
Use lots of details. Elaborate on anything your child says. Build complete sentences with lots of descriptive words.
Ask questions that require more than 'yes' or 'no' answers.
There is a more complete description of Strategies for Language Learning on our Development page.


The New Year brings change, and there is no exception for employers. With the transition into 2019, it is time to take note of a few key changes that will affect how you pay and reimburse your employees.
For new SDI claims (whether for short-term disability benefits or paid family leave benefits) the maximum weekly benefit will increase from $1,216 to $1,252 a week.
California is on track to have the minimum wage reach $15.00/hour for all employers by 2023 through a series of annual increases. The chart below shows the new rates effective January 1, 2019.
This year the IRS mileage reimbursement rate for businesses has increased to 58 cents per mile, a 3.5 cent per mile increase over last year. The mileage reimbursement rate for miles driven in the service of a charitable organization remains unchanged at 14 cents per mile. The mileage reimbursement rate for medical or moving purposes is 20 cents per mile driven, up 2 cents from the rate for 2018.
California agricultural employers with 26 or more employees need to adjust their overtime calculations this year. Overtime calculations will remain unchanged for agricultural employers with 25 or fewer employees. Day of Rest overtime requirements remain applicable for agricultural employers of all sizes.

5 Travel Shows That Will Change How You See The World
Because TV is more affordable than wanderlust
September 19, 2016 | by Neil Balthazar
2015 was the year of wanderlust. Everyone wanted to travel and many life goals were set (and consequently unfulfilled) because people forgot one small detail – traveling the world is an expensive proposition! #WanderlustOrBust Thankfully, you don't need a bottomless bank balance to see more of the world. Travel shows and documentaries will take you places - they may not be the same as traveling yourself, but some of these make a pretty compelling case. Here's some of our favourite travel shows from the last few years; we hope you enjoy them as much as we do:
Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
Is it any surprise that the bad boy of the cooking world now has his own badass travel show? Anthony Bourdain travels to popular (as well as lesser known) destinations across the world to sample their cuisine, get wasted on their alcohol and soak in the local culture. Bourdain started his world travels with the path breaking TV travel show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. His latest show retains the same air of irreverence and genuine curiosity that propelled him into stardom, while allowing viewers to take a peek at a culture that may have been completely alien to them.
Rocky and Mayur: Highway On My Plate
Rocky and Mayur have been a staple of Indian television for what seems like forever now. The two friends have made an entire career out of their love for food and their amazing chemistry with each other. The show makes a real effort to showcase the specialties and traditional fare of the different locations they travel to, which gives viewers an authentic experience. Unfortunately, Highway On My Plate was discontinued a few years ago, but the NDTV Good Times channel on Youtube has most of the episodes up so you get your fix of "food quotes" there.
The premise is simple – Karl Pilkington, a simple but close-minded Englishman, is surprised by his friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (the duo behind hit comedy series, The Office), with a trip around the world to see the Seven Wonders. The show is only 8 episodes long, but it's one of the funniest things you'll ever see and gives you a hilarious new perspective on travel. All Karl wants to do is get done with the trip and return home to his native Britain, but he's constantly thwarted by his two friends who insist that he have as much of the local experience as possible at each stop, often with hilarious results.
Long Way Round
Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor and his friend, Charlie Boorman, woke up one day and decided to travel from London to New York City. On motorbikes. What's amazing about this show is that it doesn't brush over the many real problems that arise when you're on a trip like this. The two friends fail and encounter various problems along the way – from corrupt border police to being threatened at gunpoint on a deserted road – but they always pick themselves back up and work together to find a solution to their problems. And isn't that what travel is all about?
This is the most relatable travel show you'll ever see. Canadian high-school friends Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach give up their normal lives for a year to travel around the world while accompanied by cameraman Andre Dupuis. The show is considered a cult hit within the realm of travel-based shows, but its real strength comes in making the show more about the journey rather than the destinations. The boys learn more about themselves, and each other, with every episode. If you ever wondered what people mean when they say that travel will change your life, this is the show for you.

80% of long-term-care services in the USA are provided by (often unpaid) family caregivers. Many in this population do not have access to the latest and greatest conference presentations due to barriers financial, geographical, physical, or otherwise. As part of my spiritual practice, social justice activism, and personal healing, after conferences, I write an edited summary of my best experiences and learnings for people who did not attend. Let there be light!

What: Map Through the Maze Conference – A Day Conference for Alzheimer Care Professionals to learn more about updates and best practices in Alzheimer Care (included continental breakfast and buffet lunch).
Why: The MA/NH Chapter of the National Alzheimer's Association has organized a conference for Alzheimer Care Professionals for a few years now. Not being a member of organizing team, I'm unsure of the specific why, but can guess that it is because with the rise of Alzheimer's/Dementia care professional services throughout the state, an acute need for an annual conference arose to equip providers with the latest and greatest information and approaches. Alzheimer's Association state chapters now exist in many states across the USA to be a single source for Alzheimer's information and advocacy. To learn more if there is a Alzheimer's Association Chapter in your state, contact the National Alzheimer's Association (visit: http://alz.org).


A truck backrack is a baffle, or wall-like structure, that protects the driver during a sudden stop. The specific placement of backrack depends on the type of truck. For example, the backrack on a pickup truck is typically installed directly behind the cab. A flatbed trailer usually has the backrack at the front of the trailer or the rear of the tractor.
The most common design for a backrack is a vertical frame made of metal. Its traditional purpose is to keep cargo in the bed from going through the cab's rear window and striking the occupants in the event of a front-end collision. Modern backracks are also used to hang various pieces of equipment, especially for commercial vehicles.
Backracks have traditionally been constructed of steel, although aluminum backracks have become more popular since their entry into the market in 2000. Aluminum offers several advantages over steel, including its lighter weight and greater resistance to corrosion. Many types of backracks can be easily installed without the need for specialized skills or tools.
Magnum backracks are constructed entirely of aluminum using metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding techniques. The aluminum pieces are also finished with a powder coat for additional protection. Each Magnum backrack has a precision fit to a specific model of truck, making them the best-fitting racks available. The kits for these backracks also include an accessory track that makes them compatible with Magnum's full line of backrack accessories. This feature allows these backracks to be customized for a particular cargo or task.
Steel is primarily composed of iron, which is vulnerable to rust. Aluminum doesn't rust and is generally more resistant to other types of corrosion than steel. The manufacturers of steel backracks must implement additional protective measures against rust, which increase the price of the backrack. Stainless steel has greater rust resistance, although it's generally not as strong as other types of steel. Steel backracks may also be coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion, but this layer will eventually wear off over time.
Pure aluminum weighs about one-third as much as a typical grade of steel. However, aluminum backracks are made of aluminum alloys that contain small concentrations of other metals. These alloys are stronger than pure aluminum, with the net result being that an aluminum backrack may weigh up to 15 percent less than a steel backrack of similar strength. This weight difference may be added directly onto the truck's cargo capacity, which increases the truck's operating efficiency. Magnum backracks have been specifically designed to withstand high stress over a long period time, especially for work trucks.
Magnum backracks are available in four basic profiles. In increasing order of height, they are the Service Body, Low-Pro, Standard and High-Pro profiles. Common variations on these basic styles include lights and a cut-out that allows passengers to look out of the cab's rear window without obstructions.
The Service Body profile is primarily used for cosmetic purposes. The Low-Pro profile can perform demanding tasks and handle harsh weather while providing an attractive appearance. The Standard profile strikes a balance between appearance and functionality, and will typically be the best choice for most truck owners. The High Pro profile is for owners who need more functionality than the average owner by providing more room for attaching equipment. This profile is also ideal for professional contractors who need a backrack with a rugged, modern design.
Magnum backracks are easy to install with standard tools. They are attached to the truck with bolts or stakes and pockets. These backracks can also be installed on trucks with an inside the rails tonneau cover, which is a hard or soft cover over the bed of a pickup truck. Soft tonneau covers roll up and down, while hard covers have a folding or hinging mechanism. The kits for Magnum backracks include fully-function backup lights, brake lights and a wire harness.
Magnum backracks are manufactured entirely in America at our manufacturing facility in Maine. We're committed to providing our customers with the best equipment available, made by American workers with pride. Our corporate address is 485 Belfast Augusta Rd, Liberty, Maine.

Vol. 37, Issue No. 15, 13 Apr, 2002

John Williamson
The Washington Consensus and Beyond
The term `Washington Consensus', which emerged in 1989 as a by-product of a historically unusual degree of consensus that Latin American countries needed to stabilise, to open up their economies to trade and FDI and to liberalise, has proved controversial right from the start. Most opponents of the Washington Consensus appear to have used the term in recent years to mean universal application of the neoliberal interpretation of the term. Perhaps this usage was to some extent legitimised by the fact that at least for a period in the 1990s some of the Washington institutions - the IMF and key agencies of the US government like the Treasury - did indeed urge parts of this extended agenda, most damagingly a pace of capital account liberalisation that most people agree in retrospect to have been precipitate. But even if the Washington Consensus is absolved of responsibility for provoking crises, it is true that outcomes in Latin America have disappointed in the last decade, including in many countries that have stabilised, liberalised, and opened up. This suggested that the time was ripe for taking another look at the policy agenda of the region. The results of this effort are being published in After the Washington Consensus: Restarting Growth and Reform in Latin America [Kuczynski and Williamson 2003]. The focus is on Latin America, but the history of the Washington Consensus suggests that one needs to ask if the thoughts could be of wider relevance. Obviously they will need amending to suit the circumstances of a particular country. The author has classified the new reform agenda into four big themes: crisis-proofing; completing (and, where necessary, correcting) the `first-generation' liberalising reforms that constituted the core of the Washington Consensus; complementing them with `second-generation' (institutional) reforms; and broadening the reform agenda to include a concern with income distribution. This paper is devoted to sketching these four themes.

This week the EU Commission has announced plans to boost cyber skills in the European Union, through the introduction of faster internet connections in schools and major public areas, such as transport hubs.
In Ireland this week the Government has followed the lead of the UK Government by publishing plans to build its own Cyber Security centre. The plans will also include an education program to ensure businesses and citizens better follow existing cybersecurity protocols.
Prior to the global Mirai DDoS attack on IoT devices last week, the European Court of Justice has this week sided with website owners in an ongoing legal dispute that will allow websites to store and blacklist IP addresses associated with previous DDoS attacks.
In the United States government officials have stated their confidence that the Presidential Election next month will not be threatened by further Russian email hacks, as they believe the defensive measures taken since the first leak of Democratic Party emails has closed off the avenue of attack for Russian hackers.
Elsewhere Senator Mark Warner has written to the FCC to seek clarification on what role the FCC can play in preventing mass cyberattacks such as last Friday's Mirai DDoS attack that exploited IoT devices.
The FCC has come in for criticism this week over its proposed new Cyber Privacy rules, as concerns have been raised regarding Chairman Tom Wheeler's links to net neutrality advocates, particularly given the FCC's ongoing net neutrality battle with ISPs and wider Telecoms companies.
In Asia this week, Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology, an IoT components specialist from China has accepted its involvement in the Mirai DDoS attack that hijacked parts of the company's IoT devices in order to shut down several major international websites.
The government of Thailand has been widely condemned this week for introducing a new law that would impose criminal penalties on ISPs based on the actions of users. The law would also place the burden of proof on ISPs to defend themselves rather than on the Government to prosecute them.
In India the telecoms regulator TRAI has announced an open house discussion of its consultation paper on free data, with the intention of also raising the issues surrounding net neutrality.
Elsewhere this week, the Australian Prime Minister's leading Cyber Security expert has told a Senate committee that the cyber attack on the country's online census should have been predicted by the Government and IBM the service provider.
In institutional news ICANN has announced a collaboration with Centre de Calcul El-Khawarizmi (CCK) to provide youth education in internet governance, so as to raise awareness and capacity in the country. ITU has also published details of government and industry cooperation agreed to at the Global Standards Symposium, designed to improve security, privacy and trust through the internet.

Occupational therapists help patients develop, regain, or improve skills required for daily living and employment. Clients seek treatment from occupational therapists when they have lost skills or abilities due to illness, injury, or disability.
After evaluating a patient's medical history and condition, the therapist must develop a treatment plan that may include stretches, play activities, or appropriate accommodations, such as a wheelchair. An occupational therapist must also teach the patient how to use the prescribed accommodations.
Obviously, these job requirements necessitate for an occupational therapist to be compassionate, patient, and willing to adapt to new and challenging situations. Strong communication and social skills are also essential.
Before a therapist can begin treating patients, they must obtain a master's degree in occupational therapy, complete 24 weeks of supervised fieldwork, and pass a national exam. Throughout their training, the candidate studies biology, physiology, anatomy, and other related material.
Occupational therapists work in schools, senior centers, hospitals, and therapy clinics. Some specialize in treating children, while others treat mainly elderly patients. Occupational therapist can also specialize in treating people recovering from injuries. No matter where they work or whom they serve, occupational therapists increase their patient's independence.
The best way to learn about a potential career is to listen to people who work in that field. Browse the real-world career profiles below to learn more about occupational therapy from experienced therapists. Through one-on-one interviews, we give you the inside scoop on educational and career paths, salaries, and more.

Chrissy Teigen Took Luna To See 'Crazy Rich Asians' & It Was Incredibly Special
Since Crazy Rich Asians opened in theaters less than two weeks ago, millions of people have gone to see it — smashing box office records in the process. The latest crew to be enlightened by the amazing movie is one of your favorite Hollywood families. This weekend, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen took Luna to see Crazy Rich Asians, and Teigen later opened up about the meaningful experience in an Instagram post.
Sunday night, Teigen shared several photos and a video from the Teigen-Legend family outing (minus Miles — sorry, little dude!) to Instagram. In the first photo, Teigen and Luna, 2, are gazing at a wedding dress from the movie that was on display. In the second photo, Luna is cuddled up in her dad's arms while watching the movie screen. And the final slide is a video of Legend holding Luna in his arms, dancing in front of the screen as the credits roll. (Side note: Luna wore what appears to be a Tinkerbell dress to the movies, and she totally rocked it.)
"What can I really say about this movie that hasn't been said by absolutely everyone who has seen it," Teigen captioned the Instagram album. "I've been excited to see this since production was announced but I could have never imagined how wonderful it would be."
Teigen continued her post by explaining how Luna was able to recognize and relate to the representation of Asian characters on screen. She wrote:
I planned on seeing it, making a few jokes about how it checked all the boxes for me (CRAZY ☑ RICH ☑ ASIAN ☑) but the feeling I got during the credits, watching John dance with my little black asian mashup baby bear Luna tunes, was a feeling I haven't had at the end of any other movies. Luna, aside from being blown away by the general movie-going experience (yep she's 13 now, time flies) looked up at @constancewu's mother and yelled "yāy!" ("Grandma" in Thai) because she saw someone who looked like her yāy. Someone beautiful and aspirational. It was something that simple that made my heart just...warm. That made me happy.
Teigen, who is Asian American, explained that her upbringing allowed her to understand the different angles of the movie, and to finally feel represented on screen. She continued:
It made me happy to see this over the top story done from so many angles, some I could totally understand because of my own confusing Asian American upbringing. I loved it all, from the quieter moments of talking around the table of sacrifice and past hardships to the spectacle of the bachelor party. Finding that I could cry watching the most over the top aisle walk on the planet.
You never know how much you miss being represented on screen until you actually see what it's like to be represented. And represented by all different types of characters with all different types of personalities, just like any other great movie.
Teigen makes an incredible point. Crazy Rich Asians is the only Hollywood studio film with an all Asian cast since 1993's The Joy Luck Club, according to The Hollywood Reporter. And it's clear that audiences want to see more movies like this — in the less than two weeks its been in theaters, Crazy Rich Asians has made $76.8 million according to data from comScore, CNN reported.
Teigen concluded her post by giving the film some final praise. "Also aside from all that, it's just colorful, fun and big as f—k," she wrote. "God I love a rom com. God I loved it all. Thank you guys for making this movie."

Praise the child and boil the dishcloths!
Praise was scarce in our house. We were reared the old way. Parents believed that to praise a child would make them big-headed and full of themselves. And this was to be avoided at all costs. Criticism was supposed to mean that they cared enough to correct us. Knowing our faults would help us do better, at least that is what we were told.
I remember cleaning my house as an adult woman in preparation for my mother's visit. I had scrubbed and polished and hoovered all morning. But just before she was due to arrive, I noticed brown stains on the teapot. I quickly wiped them off with the nearest cloth, a white dish cloth. She was barely in the door when she said "I can see you never boil the dish cloths!" Immediately, all the joy went out of her first visit to my house. All the care that I had put into her comfort during her visit counted as nothing.
After that visit, one of my most often told stories about my mother was that she only ever noticed what was left undone. This was a theme in our relationship. As her eldest daughter I always knew that what I did was never enough. As my understanding grew, I began to see that it would never be enough. There was freedom in 'it would never be enough'. In that realisation, I could let go of all desire to meet my mother's exacting demands. I could discover all the choices I had as I explored what I felt was enough.
Today, I praise my children. Often. And this comes easily to me. I have made peace with this part of my maternal legacy. I even praise myself from time to time. And just in case you are wondering, I rarely boil the dishcloths. I wash them in the machine and then throw them out at a certain shade of grey!
A friend and I, a well known Irish-American writer were sharing pints last night, sharing stories of our dads. His father was like your mother. Perfection was expected and needn't be acknowledged. But less than perfection or even close to perfection were always met with some form of verbal disapproval. Tough to live up to those standards. Nicely done, Martine.
Thanks Charles. This high standard/lack of praise seems to have been a feature of many Irish families. Definitely a shadow part of our identity/legacy!
Bravo! For your heartfelt and honest story.
Thank you Lynn...I did require some deep breaths just prior to clicking on Publish! The chorus definitely began the "How Dare You.." anthem before I changed the channel.
Criticism flows fluently from the sharp tongues of many Irish parents. But I often think the pendulum has swung completely in the opposite direction here in America. Children are often praised so much, they cannot tell the difference between mediocrity and excellence.
I often think of the old Irish saying: "Praise and scold in equal measure, if your family you treasure." There is a lot of wisdom in these words. The problem often is, many perfect the scolding piece, but forget to balance it with equal, truthful praise.
Thanks for a lovely thought-provoking and very personal story. I shall make an effort each day to remember to praise my children.
I had never heard that saying before, it is beautiful Mairead, equal measure....I like that.
Glad you shared this with the GRWM group... thanks for that.
Thanks, too, for putting this out there. I know how hard it can be to tell your story in a way that's so very public... Brava!
This hits home for me because of all of my own stories surrounding my biological mother and how some of her has passed into me and how I interact with my own children.
I would like to be much more complementary of my own kids. Sadly, it's easier for me to see all of the imperfections (are they, though... really?) than anything else.
Angel, your encouragement and support means a lot. I truly believe that as we face these legacies they lose their power over us. And we will have lots of opportunities in our group to do that!
Welcome Christina. Thank you for your honesty. There is so much power in the words of parents. When we become free from the shadows of the past, life becomes amazing!
Thanks Martine. I always enjoy your blog pieces. Reading this one I thought you might be interested in this - extracted from The House on an Irish Hillside.
from embarrassment. I wanted to protect him, and, I suppose, to protect myself from the sight of his distress. The people here wanted him to grow strong."
I loved your story Felicity! I felt as though I was sitting in that room. You gave us a real insight into the struggle between protection and allowing children to grow into their own strength. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story, Martine, it is much the same as mine and now you have me wondering if that is what my Mom grew up with :( Mom, (God rest her soul) always saw the cup half empty as opposed to half full and was very negative and never praised. I did over hear my Dad stand up for me at times, pointing out all of the good things I did but I never did measure up in my Mom's eyes. Everything had to be her way & done perfectly or you did it again and/or were scolded and put down. I do not remember EVER being told as a child "I love you" or being hugged, it just didn't happen. Thankfully I have a wonderful Husband who lavishes love on me! Unfortunately, we have yet to be blessed with children with whom to leave a better, balanced & loving legacy.
Big hugs Maureen. I am still surprised at times how long the pain lingers... It took me such a long time to accept that my Mom would never love me the way I wanted to be loved.

COVID-19 in Edmonton
Why is everything opening up if we have more cases than when the lockdown started?
Alberta succeeded in flattening the curve of infections, and the province wants to reopen its economy.
The province decided the effects of keeping everything shut down would be worse than the potential increase in cases as businesses and services reopen.
"While we continue to see new cases and expect to as long as the virus is around, we've achieved our primary goal of flattening the curve of infections to keep our health-care system from being overwhelmed," Premier Jason Kenney told a news conference at the end of April announcing the beginning of the province's relaunch plan.
"We can finally begin to shift our focus from the pain and anxiety of the past few weeks and to start looking, with modest hope and cautious confidence, toward the future."
Experts have said that although they expect an increase in infections, the relaunch seems to make sense given the consistently low number of cases in Alberta. "It's way ahead of everybody on a per capita basis and staying out in front," said Dr. Colin Furness, an epidemiologist and assistant professor in the faculty of information and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, in a Canadian Press story in mid-June.
But that changed in mid-July, when Alberta became the province with the highest number of new daily cases per capita in the country.
"The surge in Alberta reflects the risks tied to fatigue caused not by the novel coronavirus itself but by the policies designed to prevent the spread of the infection, according to experts," writes the Globe and Mail. The majority of new cases can be attributed to young adults.
The Calgary Herald reported that one in 10 Albertans has been tested for COVID-19. As of July 9, that was more than half a million people across the province. By comparison, about one in every 12.5 Canadians had been tested at that time, the Herald said.
Through the first week of July, the province was averaging around 6,000 tests per day, but it was hoping to raise that to 16,000 per day. The number of tests that came back positive during the week stayed around 1%.

It seems as though Meryl Streep is set to join Disney's Mary Poppins sequel Mary Poppins Returns. The film will be a follow up to the 1964 original, and other stars that have already been confirmed include Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
If anyone could take on the job than Meryl can, and we have already seen her work in a musical format when she starred in the ABBA musical Mamma Mia, as well as Into the Woods.
In fact Into the Woods director Rob Marshall is on board to direct Mary Poppins Returns, and it will also be reuniting Meryl and Emily. Those two have starred together twice already, in the aforementioned Into the Woods as well as The Devil Wears Prada.
Meryl would play Topsy in the film, who is married to Mary Poppins' cousin Mr. Turvy. Emily will star as Mary herself, and Lin-Manuel Miranda will star as a lamplighter named Jack. Like the original film the movie is based on the books by P.L. Travers, however it will be its own version of the story. The film will be set 20 years in the future from the original, which means that Jane and Michael are all grown up.

Q: How can I specify a memory location for constant array (C30 Compiler) I am trying to place an array at the highest location in auxiliary memory on a PIC24EP256G810 processor using the Microchip C30 compiler.  The array is defined as follows:
const int __attribute__((space(auxflash), aligned(2048))) AuxFlashRows[8][128]
{
    {
        0x0000,etc,etc
    },
    {
        0x0000,etc,etc
    },
    etc
};

The code above will place the data in the auxiliary memory space, but I am unsure how to make the compiler place it at the highest location.  Just now it puts the array in a location occupied by the bootloader.
Thanks

A: IIRC you have to adapt the linker file (p24EP256GU810.gld in  c30/support/pic24e/gld)
e.g. the program length segment:
program (xr)   : ORIGIN = 0x200,         LENGTH = 0x2A9FE
and reduce accordingly.

A: You shouldn't need to modify the linker script.  You should just have to add the address() keyword in your attribute modifier, in addition to space() and aligned(), and hard-code the address you want.  It's documented in section 2.3.1 in my version of the C30 User's Guide, but either way you could just search the "attribute", where they are all documented together.  (Sorry, the form is eating my underscores :)


Please stay tuned, more information is coming soon!
I finally gathered enough courage to ask for your help regarding memory loss. I am 75 years old and have been noticing memory loss for the past year. I have an older brother who has Alzheimer's and I would like to get help before I reach that stage.

Nicola Sturgeon tells PM Brexit withdrawal bill 'not acceptable' in current form
Speaking after talks at 10 Downing Street, the First Minister said that no agreement on the way forward for Brexit was reached.
Nicola Sturgeon has told Theresa May that the EU Withdrawal Bill is not acceptable to the Scottish Government in its current form.
Speaking after talks at 10 Downing Street, the Scottish First Minister said that no agreement on the way forward for Brexit was reached, but held out prospects of differences being ironed out in the weeks to come.
The devolved administrations of both Scotland and Wales have branded the legislation - which began its committee stage in the House of Commons on Tuesday - a "power grab", as it would return responsibilities in areas such as agriculture from Brussels to London.
Devolve Brexit powers to Scotland or risk another referendum, warns leading SNP MP
Downing Street said that the Prime Minister told Ms Sturgeon that her priority was "to provide certainty to businesses and people both in Scotland and across the country, as well as protecting our UK internal market".

The Scottish First Minister characterised the 45 minutes of talks as "constructive and cordial".
But she added: "I made very clear, as the Scottish Government has done consistently, that the Withdrawal Bill as it stands would not be acceptable and we would not be able to recommend approval of that.
"That remains the position, but hopefully having had the opportunity to air the concerns that we have in more detail, we will be able to see progress in the weeks to come.

Ms Sturgeon added: "While we didn't reach agreement, I think we developed a better understanding of each others' positions.
Stupid and arrogant in equal measure, Boris Johnson simply has to go
"I made clear that the Scottish Government wants to find agreement on the Withdrawal Bill. We oppose Brexit but we understand withdrawal legislation is necessary, so we want to find agreement.
"But I also made clear what our bottom lines are on that Bill. Discussions will continue and hopefully we can reach some points of agreement in the weeks to come."

The classic Broadway musical, West Side Story, is getting a brand new Japanese stage play. And anime fans will most certainly be familiar with some of the play's main cast members, as some of them are seiyuu as well.
Mamoru Miyano, who was recently managing some zombie idols last time we checked, will be playing Tony in the stage production. He will be sharing the role with fellow seiyuu, Shouta Aoi, as the role is double cast.
Another double cast role in the play is the role of Anita. Another familiar name is playing one of them, and that is none other than Umi's seiyuu from Love Live!, Suzuko Mimori. She will be sharing the role with stage actress Asami Higuchi (L):
The play will be held at the IHI stage in Tokyo, which boasts a 360 degree theatre. It rotates so that audience members can see various sets and stages, and is quite the immersive theatrical experience. It will have three seasons, and the first one has been announced to run between 6 November 2019 until 13 January 2020. They will be announcing the runs for the second and third seasons in the future.

Hi All! I would like to wish everyone a happy 4th of July! Can you believe it is already July? This year is flying by! Since it is the 4th today, I am going to share my thrift store finds turned patriotic vases from two different size of glass vases that I purchased at Goodwill for 99 cents.
First wash them with warm soapy water, and dry.
Next painted the shorter vase with blue chalk paint, and the taller one with red chalk paint. Two coats each. If I had been thinking I would have painted the taller one white first. Red goes over white better than white over red for the stripes.
Once they were dry I free-handed the white stripes around the taller red vase. You will need to use two coats. You could use painters tape for a straighter line, but I wanted the unevenness of the lines to add to the worn aged look of the vase.
Next I stencil the Stars onto the shorter Blue Vase using a homemade Star stencil.
I let both patriotic vases dry thoroughly then I lightly sanded each vase to give it a worn effect.
Then I added some smeared black acrylic paint, like I did on my American shutter flag to help with the worn aged look that I desired.
Now it's time to add one of my favorite paint supplies, the antiquing medium. First I watered it down then brushed it on covering the vase.
Next I took a dry paper towel and wiped some of the antiquing medium off.
I did both vases like this, and it gave them both the worn aged effect that I was seeking.
You can stop here, or you can add a coat of Mod Podge to help seal and protect the vases. But the Mod Podge will give it some shine.
Now fill the vases with flowers, and a flag and you have yourself a couple of pretty Patriotic Vases.
Thank you Michelle! Chalk paint is the best and can pretty much be painted on anything without much prepping. I can't wait to see what you come up with using chalk paint!
Happy Independence day !! These look really great Linda. I like this idea of adding the black to give it a worn look and of course the antiquing medium is a must. How did you make the star stencils?
Thanks Mary! I just recently started adding the black, I can't remember where I seen it used like this but it works. The antiquing medium is a must for me. I love the stuff. The star stencil was made from some plastic sheeting that I had on hand. I traced three stars on it from another stencil that I had on hand, but wouldn't fit and lay flat on the shutter and I didn't want to cut it up. So I traced the stars on the plastic, than laid them on my cutting board and used my x-acto knife to cut them out. They worked great!
Thanks Carolyn! You could always get creative and paint the vases some of your favorite colors to match your home decor. Then you could use them all year long.


I love watching folks at Real Screen. It's a dance of the peacocks and the temporarily crazy.
I ran into a friend who's an Exec at Discovery (the big channel) and he had just been accosted by an attendee swaddled in a foot cast.
She had clearly invaded his personal space and my friend, who is a gentleman and national Emmy nominee, felt like he had just been slimed ala Ghostbusters.
No wonder all the cable execs walk around with their badges turned around.
