House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks on the House floor at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022.
With this month's congressional elections, political party power and leadership will shift in our nation's legislative branch. The Republican Party might have gained more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to be in the majority, but several Democratic Party leaders announced last week they will no longer remain in power. This is one of the most intriguing, but overdue political transformations for our United States Congress.
Political party leadership matters in so many government institutions because they often shape but also lead — and kill — various policy proposals. So many Americans and the media tend to frame American politics as being in "red" or "blue" lenses, but it's also about which lawmakers remain in so many leadership positions.
Party leaders are instrumental in guiding legislation through the legislative process. From committee chairs to political party officials, these congressional leaders are the shepherds and gatekeepers to effective or problematic policymaking. And our Congress is hardly a favorite institution with a 20-percent approval rating.
Few Americans understand that chosen party leaders are decided by their respective party caucuses and often promises and deal-making approaches are made for these critical positions. It's classic politics, but this process is more nuanced. These committee and leadership spots are coveted by so many lawmakers since they're able to gain more political and media attention, which is certainly helpful for reelection and fundraising purposes.
Not surprisingly, many congressional leaders remain in these positions for years and even decades. Congressional Democrats are no different, and many have been successful at remaining in power and being long-serving lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives. Aside from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) who was first elected in 1987, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) have also been in the House for 30 years.
Interestingly, all three leaders and additional party and committee chairs are octogenarians and septuagenarians. It shouldn't be surprising that many Americans prefer seasoned lawmakers, even past retirement age, including many in our Connecticut delegation. Senior and longtime members of Congress face little competition because incumbents overwhelmingly win reelections. And the average of House members is 58 years old.
So, when the three House Democratic leaders announced they would no longer serve in party leadership positions, it was unusual. They also publicly supported new leaders for their respective caucus. Maybe younger leaders can lead the House, but I also imagine there will be some internal battling among lawmakers as leadership shifts hardly happen overnight especially with octogenarian President Joe Biden.
As a former congressional aide, I thought congressional leadership change was overdue. Many younger congressional candidates and lawmakers have sought for generational change. Maxwell Alejandro Frost will be the first Generation-Z congressional lawmaker, for example. It was a matter of what would propel leaders to not run for their same positions. Maybe it took a House majority loss for Democrats to finally recognize new party leaders.
But the House changes can also serve as a reminder that the U.S. Senate should heed to political shifts as well. Even though Republicans failed to win the upper chamber, octogenarian Minority Party Leader Mitch McConnell faced unusual opposition to his 15-year leadership by 69-year old Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.).
It often takes elections to remind entrenched lawmakers that they can comfortably remain in elected office and leadership positions for so many years. Congress may not have term limits, but voters often remind officials they're not in public office for life. Some suggest elections serve as term limits, but electoral wins shouldn't grant lawmakers leadership roles for such a long time.

The Women Who Defended Britain's Skies
In researching my upcoming release, The Light Over London, I was continually amazed at the many—often unsung—ways women contributed to the war effort in Britain during World War II. The Lightseekers is an ongoing series of articles that highlights some of their work and the ways they brought light to Britain in one of its darkest times
In April 1941, a new kind of job opened up for the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women's branch of the British Army. In order to be taken on, they needed to show great aptitude as well as quick reflexes and a natural courage. They were tested, assessed, and those who made the cut became Gunner Girls.
Also called Ack Ack Girls, these ATS women were given the rank of gunner as they were now attached to the Royal Artillery (RA). They were part of mixed batteries—units with women and men—and they took over some of the vital roles previously performed by men in an effort to free those men up for other jobs.
In an Ack Ack unit, a spotter would work the powerful tool used to locate and identify enemy aircraft. Two women would operate the height and range finder that would gather the information to properly aim the gun. Then that information would be sent over to the predictor, which would calculate and account for both the forward movement of a plane and the time it would take a shell to reach it in order to damage or shoot down the plane. Once trained, the Gunner Girls could do this all in a matter of seconds.

One thing the Gunner Girls didn't do, however, was pull the trigger on guns. When arguing for the inclusion of women in Ack Ack units, General Sir Frederick Pyle, Commander in Chief of Air Defense, agreed to the government demand that women would not fire the guns. This is because, even in the middle of a war, the government didn't believe it was appropriate for "life givers to be life takers."
By the time the first mixed battery units were trained up and dispatched to their first assignments, the London Blitz was over. However, the Luftwaffe still conducted bombing raids in the capital and across Britain throughout the war.
In their book The Girls Who Went to War, Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi, record the story of Jessie Ward, a Gunner Girl. After the war, Jessie remembered speaking to a woman in a fish and chips shop in Aberdeen who sounded as though she was from Hull. Jessie told her that she'd been stationed in Hull during the war as part of an Ack Ack unit, and the woman said, "Oh, you don't know what they meant to use in the city. Whenever we heard the guns open up, it gave us a bit of hope to hold onto."
My own family, the Kellys, would've been familiar with the 33rd (Western) Anti-Aircraft Battalion that defended Liverpool throughout the war. Liverpool, a major port, was one of the cities bombed at the same time as the London Blitz, and it also experienced its own sustained bombing that came to be known as the Liverpool Blitz. Ack Ack units from the 33rd were stationed around the city and its outskirts and in surrounding towns like Stockport, Birkenhead, and Boodle to try to protect the buildings and people of Liverpool.
My grandparents' house was one of the 6,500 homes bombed during one of these raids on Liverpool, although fortunately no one in our family was hurt. Family lore has it that my Uncle Nick was actually born during an air raid in the middle of the Liverpool Blitz.
The last air raid of Liverpool happened place in January 1942.
There is now a memorial to the women of the Ack Ack Command in the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

If you're like many Americans, you see a deduction on your check for Social Security and don't really think about it. It's something for retirees, not for you. I encourage you to think about it today as it can impact your financial planning even if you're only in your 30's or 40's today. The longer you wait to file for benefits, the more financially rewarding it may be.
What is Social Security for retirees?
Social Security is a Federal retirement program providing monthly income to qualified workers. The amount received depends on the recipient's income while they were working. While most people apply for Social Security between 65 and 67 years old depending on the year they were born, there are cases when it makes sense to file early.
Just because you worked and meet an age requirement doesn't mean you're automatically qualified to receive benefits. At the publication of this post, you must work and pay a minimum of 40 quarters (10 years) into Social Security if you were born in 1929 or later. Those quarters do not need to be consecutive. Once you meet the work requirement, you can file when you become of qualified age.
There are a few cases when you may opt to file early for your benefits at the age of 62.
Think as a single, not a couple. Depending on what the benefit amount is, some couples opt for one of them to file early, leaving the other to file when they qualify at 65 – 67 or even waiting until they turn 70 years old. This maximizes the benefits for the couple. If you're thinking about this strategy, consider your cost of living. If you can pay your bills with one income, it may benefit you to wait for one spouse to file.
You or your spouse are terminally ill. This doesn't mean that you have bad genes or a family history of cancer, it means you or your spouse are diagnosed as being very ill and will likely not live long into retirement.
Limited or no income. If you have no income, filing early may be your only option that will pay your most basic necessities. This has happened more recently with older Americans being laid off and not able to find work. If you're healthy and an expert at something, I encourage you to consider being a consultant to make ends meet before having to file for Social Security.
Filing early isn't always a good thing. While you can by law file at the age of 62, you're also taking 25% less than waiting a few years. If you can wait until you're 70, you may even qualify to receive more than what's on your Social Security statement.

Destroying America's Family Farm: HR 2749. A Stealth Agribusiness Empowering Act
Theme: Biotechnology and GMO
America is the truest example of what George Bernard Shaw meant when he said "Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for the appointment by the corrupt few." Obama is upholding the tradition and then some.
In fact, in less than six months, he's done the impossible. With congressional Democrats, he's compiled a worse record than even his fiercest critics feared, worse than George Bush, straight across the board on both domestic and foreign policies that include:
— looting the nation's wealth, wrecking the economy, and consigning growing millions to impoverishment without jobs, homes, savings, social services, or futures;
— proposing greater Fed empowerment and global monetary control, disguised as financial reform;
— expanding unbridled militarism through continued foreign wars, occupations, and stepped up aggression on new fronts with the largest defense budget in history – greater than the rest of the world combined at a time America has no enemies;
— its first coup d'etat in Honduras against its democratically elected president, an attempted regime change in Iran, and perhaps others ahead against independent leaders called national security threats while continuing to support the world's most ruthless and corrupt tyrants;
— presiding over a bogus democracy under a homeland police state apparatus;
— continuing the worst of the Bush administration's torture policies and practice of lawlessness;
— targeting whistleblowers, dissenters, Muslims, and environmental and animal rights activists called terrorists;
— illegally spying on Americans as aggressively as under George Bush;
— destroying decades of hard won labor rights;
— eroding Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other New Deal and Great Society social gains;
— trying to control the media more aggressively than Richard Nixon, according to veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas;
— refusing help for budget-stricken states like California; forcing them to impose austerity by gutting welfare programs, education, health care for the poor, and other vital services at a time they're most needed; to be followed by bailout-rich banks, real estate developers, and other profiteers using "shock doctrine" tactics to buy state and other troubled assets on the cheap;
— continuing to commodify education, end government responsibility for it, and make it another business profit center;
— proposing health care reform that will tax more, provide less, place profits above human need, disdain vital change, and leave a broken system in place;
— readying Americans for dangerous, mandatory vaccinations that jeopardize human health, well-being, and may even cause death;
— the (June 26) House-passed American Clean Energy and Security Act to let corporate polluters reap huge windfall profits by charging consumers more for energy and fuel, create a new bubble through carbon trading derivatives speculation, yet do nothing to address environmental issues;
— trying to revive the Real ID Act of 2005 with S. 1261: Pass ID Act, introduced on June 15 and referred to the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; if enacted, it will erode personal freedoms by requiring all US citizens and legal residents to have a national identity card that will be needed to open a bank account, board an airplane, be able to vote, or conduct virtually all types of essential business; if embedded with an RFID chip, universal monitoring will be possible everywhere, all the time; and
— the proposed HR 2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act (FSEA) of 2009 discussed below.
HR 2749 – the Agribusiness Empowerment Act
Introduced on June 8, it "amend(s) the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to improve safety in the global market, and for other purposes."
Passed in 1938 to ensure public safety, FFDCA gives the FDA regulatory power over food, drugs, and cosmetics, later updated to include other biological products, medical devices, and products that emit radiation.
On June 10, FSEA was fast-tracked from the House Health Subcommittee to the Energy and Commerce Committee where on June 17 it cleared and was referred to the full House "for later consideration."
Like legislation introduced earlier this year but so far not passed, food safety is the presumed issue, but it's merely for cover. Current laws and regulations work well but they're not enforced, an issue this writer addressed in a previous article. It explained that the USDA is woefully understaffed, under-budgeted, and only perfunctorily carries out inspections.
A March 3, 2008 OMB Watch report highlighted the problem. Headlined, "Federal Meat Inspectors Spread Thin as Recalls Rise," it explained that USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is charged with ensuring safe meat, poultry and eggs, but its budget and staff haven't kept pace with its mandate.
In FY 1981, it had about 190 workers per billion pounds of meat and poultry inspected. By FY 2007, it was fewer than 88 or less than half as many. Yet under federal law, FSIS must inspect all meat, poultry, and egg products intended for commercial use. Its web site states: "Slaughter facilities cannot operate if FSIS inspection personnel are not present (and) Only Federally inspected establishments can produce products that are destined to enter commerce."
For these and other agribusiness products, reality belies the mandate as processors, manufacturers, and other corporate operators circumvent procedures, and according to inspectors interviewed, understaffing and lax policies contribute to the problem. An unsafe food supply results. Government policy is to blame, and FSEA and earlier proposed legislation aren't designed to help. They're vehicles to empower food giants, destroy small farmers, and harm the consuming public.
The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) Reacts
FTCLDF is an NGO representing farmers and consumers to:
— "Protect the constitutional right of the nation's family farms to provide processed and unprocessed farm foods directly to consumers through any legal means.
— Protect the constitutional right of consumers to obtain unprocessed and processed farm foods directly from family farms, (and)
— Protect the nation's family farms from harassment by federal, state, and local government interference with food production and on-farm food processing."
Run by industry officials, the FDA is a front group for agribusiness, Big Pharma, and other related industries it "regulates." If enacted, FSEA will greatly increase its power and limit judicial restraints on its actions. Although some provisions address improving the "mainstream food system," the potential for "inappropriate application and enforcement" is worrisome because the bill's language is vague and deceptive. It also doesn't define greater FDA authority or explain how it will empower agribusiness giants at the expense of small farms, "local artisanal producers" and consumers.
As a result, FTCLDF opposes HR 2749 because it will "adversely impact small farms and food producers, without providing significant reforms in the industrial food system." It also fails to address underlying food safety problems, including "agricultural practices" and industry consolidation. FTCLDT denounces FSEA for enhancing abusive powers at the expense of long-standing family farm freedoms and consumer choice.
Its specific concerns are as follows:
Current law requires "food facilities" to register one time at no charge with the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. Under FSEA, annual registration and a yearly $500 fee is required except for farms that do the following:
— ones in a single physical location that grow and harvest crops, raise animals or seafood;
— "that pack or hold food, provided that all food used in such activities is grown, raised, or consumed on that farm or another under the same ownership; and
— facilities that manufacture/process food, provided that all food used in such activities is consumed on that farm or another farm under the same ownership."
Farm processing doesn't qualify unless it complies with the above provisions. If foods are produced elsewhere, farmers buying them lose their "farm" designation and become subject to annual registration procedures, henceforth done electronically in violation of Amish and other Mennonite customs that consider this practice a violation of their faith.
Extensive registration paperwork will also have to include:
— certification of a hazard analysis;
— identifying, implementing, and validating effective preventive controls and monitoring;
— instituting and verifying corrective measures to address problems; and
— maintaining records of all of the above and re-analyzing for hazards.
These requirements apply to local as well as others engaged in interstate commerce.
A detailed food safety plan is required as well that includes effective controls, monitoring, corrective action, verification, extensive record keeping, and other procedures that will be time consuming and expensive enough to put many small producers out of business.
All registered facilities will be subject to federal inspection in contrast to current law that applies only to ones engaged in interstate commerce. FSEA also requires all food producers to make their records available to FDA inspectors on demand. It applies to "production, manufacture, processing, packing, transporting, distribution, receipt, (and) holding of (food) in any format and at any location."
According to FTCLDF, the "FDA would now be empowered to go on a 'fishing expedition' and search records without any evidence whatsoever" of a violation. Further, "farmers selling direct to consumers would have to provide the (FDA) with records on where they buy supplies, how they raise their crops, and a list of customers."
Currently, examination only applies if there is "a reasonable belief that an article of food is adulterated and presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans and animals."
FSEA also imposes "traceability" provisions that require producers, processors, packers, transporters, and other food handlers to:
— "maintain the full pedigree of the origin and previous distribution history of the food;
— link that history with the subsequent history of the food;
— establish and maintain a system for tracing the food (and)
— use a unique identifier for each facility for such person for such purpose."
The above requirements leave many questions unanswered and may empower the FDA to enforce them onerously against small farmers, but loosely, if at all, for agribusiness because corporate officials run the agency and decide policy.
FSEA also empowers the FDA to impose growing standards called "science-based (ones) for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, sorting, transporting, and holding of raw agricultural commodities that – (1) are from a plant or a fungus; and (2) for which the Secretary has determined that such standards minimize the risk of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals."
This and other bill provisions mask FDA's dubious track record of serving corporate interests to the detriment of small farmers and consumers. By imposing costly and burdensome regulations, it will be easier to claim independent producers don't comply, ban their output as adulterated, and put them out of business.
Under current law, the FDA can prohibit food sales based on "credible evidence or information indicating (it) presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to human or animals." FSEA's standard is based on only a "reason to believe that (the food) is adulterated, misbranded or otherwise in violation or this act." In other words, suspicion alone without proof can prohibit food sales and put small producers out of business.
FSEA also greatly increases the FDA's recall powers. It currently can request a voluntary recall, administratively detain food, or file a court order to seize and prohibit its distribution. FSEA goes further by empowering the FDA to recall food based on "reason to believe that the use or consumption of, or exposure to, (it) may cause adverse health consequences to human or animals." No proof is needed, just the word of corporate officials running these agencies for the companies they represent and will return to in high-paying jobs.
Based on "credible evidence or information," FSEA empowers the FDA to quarantine a geographic area to prevent "adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals…." Without court order and solely by notifying an "appropriate official of the State affected," food distribution and sales can be halted even by producers unrelated to the problem's source.
Currently, anyone violating FFDCA provisions can be imprisoned for up to three years if there's proof of "intent to defraud or mislead." Under FSEA, it's 10 years and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $7.5 million for corporations for offenses like the following – failing to register a facility, "misbranding," or not conducting a "hazard analysis" or filling out required paperwork.
Further, each day a violation continues constitutes a separate offense so, in theory, perpetrators might get millions of dollars in fines and life sentences for failing to comply with burdensome regulations that never should be imposed in the first place. Currently, producers are only at risk if they've "introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce adulterated food."
FTCLDF concludes the following:
"While higher penalties may….deter industrial food companies from repeated dangerous violations, the (FDA) has a track record of pursuing small farmers and producers; these penalties could be imposed to ruin people for actions that pose no threat to human health."
The FDA notoriously serves the interests of industries it represents and betrays the public's well-being. Jeopardizing safer alternative sources to industrialized food is a frightening prospect to consider.
In 1970, Henry Kissinger said: "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people." Concentrating control in the hands of a few Ag giants places everyone at risk. They plan world domination by patenting all life forms to force-feed GMO foods on everyone – even though eating them risks harm to human health. It's why FTCLDF supports small family farms, too vital to lose. It's why FSEA must be stopped. "Any food safety bill should target industrial food processors and imports while leaving (the nation's safe) local food system alone." Obama's plan does the opposite.

Kick Off är en datorspelsserie formgivet av Dino Dini vars första utgåva släpptes av speltillverkaren Anco 1989. Spelet mottogs mycket väl av spelindustrin och vann många utmärkelser. Efter Kick Off har det gjorts flera efterföljare, bland annat Kick Off 2.

Spelidé
I Kick Off i motsats till alla sina föregångare är inte bollen fast vid spelarens fötter vilket ställer höga krav på kontroll hos spelaren. Detta tillsammans med alla nya originaldetaljer, actionrepriser, spelare med olika egenskaper, olika taktiker, frisparkar, gula kort, röda kort, skador och olika domare med olika egenskaper, gjorde Kick Off och i synnerhet dess efterföljare, Kick Off 2 till ett av de mest framgångsrika fotbollsspelen någonsin.

Kick Off utvecklades först för Atari ST och portades sedan till Amiga.

Uppföljare

Kick Off 2
År 1990 släpptes Kick Off 2 av Anco. Det blev ännu mer framgångsrikt än sin föregångare. Kick Off 2 har det tempo och den noggrannhet som gjorde Kick Off så lyckat vilket kombineras med fler funktioner och möjlighet att skruva bollen. Det anordnas fortfarande VM i Kick Off 2 för entusiaster.

Player Manager
Player Manager är ett managerspel som släpptes av Anco 1990 med Kick Off motorn som bas.

Super Kick-Off
Super Kick-Off som släpptes 1991 är en av uppföljningarna till Kick Off och Kick Off 2 men inte för Amiga utan för Game Boy, Sega och SNES. Liksom alla spel i Kick Off-serien limmades bollen inte till fotbollsspelaren fot. I Super-Kick Off fanns det en knapp för att stoppa spelare att hålla bollen, så icke-erfarna spelare kunde vända lättare (med en betydande förlust av hastighet).

Kick Off 3
År 1992, släpptes Kick Off 3. Detta spel utvecklades inte av Dino Dini utan av Steve Screech och var i praktiken ett helt nytt spel. Spelet blev mer eller mindre en flop, fick dåliga recensioner och nådde aldrig någon popularitet. Dino Dini hade lämnat Anco och skrivit på för Virgin Games, där han utvecklade Goal som släpptes 1993 och av många sågs som det riktiga Kick Off 3. Goal fick i allmänhet goda recensioner, men inte samma varaktiga popularitet som Kick Off 2.

Kick Off 96, 97 och 98
1996 släppte Anco Kick Off 96 till Amiga och PC men fick inte några bättre recensioner. Året därpå släpptes Kick Off 97 som inte var tillgängligt på Amiga. Spelet fick bättre recensioner än Kick Off 3 och 97 men blev ändå ingen succé. År 1998 släpptes Kick Off 1998 men spelet fick dåliga recensioner och fick Anco att lägga spelserien på is.

Andra efterföljare
Under 2001 startade Steve Screech ett projekt kallat Ultimate Kick Off med hjälp av Kick Off Association. Spelet släpptes av Anco 2002 för PC med namnet Kick Off 2002. En uppföljare, Kick Off 2004 var planerad men släpptes aldrig.

År 2005 startade Steve Camber ett projekt som kallas Kick Off 2 competition version. En uppdaterad version av Kick Off 2 för att förbättra dess funktioner med hjälp av reverse engineering på det ursprungliga Amiga spelet.

Under 2016 var det Kick Off 2 omstart aviserade av Kick Off World,, internationella gruppen Kick Off fans  med hjälp från den ursprungliga författaren Steve Screech som ger tillstånd att använda alla hans original grafik från Kick Off 2 till Kick Off världen projektet gjort en gratis hyllning till Commodore Amiga ursprungliga spelet. AfterTouch fotboll kom ut publicerade av itch.io 2017 på Smartphones och datorer.

The Kick Off Association
Kick Off Association (KOA) är en ideell organisation som grundades av Gunther Wening och Jan Tijssen 2001 som en paraplyorganisation för fans av serien.

Medlemskap är öppet för alla och är gratis. Kick Off Förbundet har cirka 1400 medlemmar. Alla medlemmar kan utbyta idéer på partnerskapet platser; KO Gathering, Kick Off World och kickoff2.com. KOA har varit involverade i organisationer av olika internationella turneringar av Kick Off 2. KOA deltar aktivt i forskning och utveckling av nya versioner av Kick Off.

Övriga fakta
 Dino Dini arbetade på Kick Off-serien till Kick Off 2. Alla senare spel har utvecklats av Steve Screech.
 Kick Off Association anordnar varje år ett Kick Off-VM. Detta är i särklass den största tävlingen för Kick Off-entusiaster.
 Amiga Power gav Kick Off '96 sin lägsta poängen någonsin: 1 %. Granskaren, Stuart Campbell, hade en lång och brutal recension.

MSK Prasad reveals future plans for young Rishabh Pant
By Sarmad Iqbal
Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been included in the national side after his brief stint with the ODI team during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The youngster has been nothing short of impressive in his brief international career so far and he promises to be a great prospect for Indian cricket.
When asked about Pant's inclusion for the upcoming tour, chief selector MSK Prasad said that the management wants to groom the youngster for all formats as has done nothing wrong to be excluded from the playing XI.
"We want to groom Pant and that is the plan right now. Pant hasn't done anything wrong for his non-inclusion in the playing XI. Rishabh Pant will be playing all the three formats, so we will have to look about his workload management. Saha and KS Bharat will come into picture at some point," said Prasad.

The work was done in a quick and thorough manner. I was totally satisfied with the work.
I have to swallow hard before I drop my cars off at a dealer. Thankfully, I found Jose's auto repair shop about 12 years ago. He's worked on all my cars (and my kids' cars). He doesn't have all the resources of a dealership, but he's pretty clear about what he can do (90%) and what he needs to refer out (10%)...and the things he can do, he does for WAY less, a lot quicker, and with EXCELLENT customer service. Poway Auto Repair is my go-to shop...and hope it is for years to come.
These guys take care of all our older cars. They've been very reliable. They do the work they promise at a fair price and they have never tried to sell me on unnecessary stuff. In fact, they've saved me money by telling me when dealer suggested repairs on my new Honda Insite were unnecessary. I'd trust these guys over the local Honda dealer any day.
Honest. Good guys. Reasonable. What more can you ask for from auto repair? Glad they're close to my house.I will be their customer.Go there.
Thanks for fixing the clutch and taking care of all of oil,fluids etc. You take good care of my care-- I appreciate that!
We get such great service at Poway Auto Repair. We have been taking all 4 of our cars (both foreign and domestic) to them for several years now. The team is very knowledgeable and experienced with all aspects of car maintenance and repair. They could not be more honest or efficient.
By far they are the best most honest car repair/maintenance shop.
Jose and Thomas are the BEST people I've ever met in the auto industry. I've still got some more work to do on my car and I'm having them do it. It is not the closest place to my house but it is the BEST.


Recently rediscovered flatfish fossils have filled a puzzling gap in the story of evolution and answered a question that initially stumped even Charles Darwin Opponents of evolution have insisted that adult flatfishes, which have both eyes on one side of the head, could not have evolved gradually. A slightly asymmetrical skull offers no advantage. No such fish--fossil or living--had ever been discovered, until now.


The play Joymoti, is about an iron lady of 17th century Assam history, who with her fortitude and self sacrifice entirely changed the course of destiny of the 'Ahom Empire' when the atrocious ruling of a certain class of the Ahom royal family were about to lead the entire Ahom kingdom to its doom. The play not only gives information about Joymati's life but also focuses on her inner thoughts and mental power.
"What Joymati might have thought during her days of sufferings?"—were the key questions haunting us before preparing the play. We were searching for the answer in the available references in the Assam history and other forms of literature. Our discussions with various persons who spent much of their time in the scholarly study of Assam history and particularly on the Ahoms were other resources and inspirations in writing and shaping up the play. But still our search is on; hope someday we will get the answer.

Providence woman campaigning for more Fibromyalgia research
From US news outlet Cache Valley Daily:
Jan Chambers
Jennie Christensen
Posted: Thursday, May 23, 2013 6:15 am
Patients should take more responsibility for their overall health according to Jan Chambers, founder and president of the National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association. Her own life changed when she was overcome with undescribable pain in 2005 following surgery and since then she has traveled thousands of miles, met with federal and state agencies and other organizations as she searched for help.
On KVNU's Crosstalk program Tuesday [see below], Chambers said more research is needed because right now Fibromyalgia gets only $1.50 per patient spent on research for Fibromyalgia while Parkinson's Disease gets $172 per patient. Yet she says about one million people have Parkinson's and close to 10 million have Fibromyalgia.
Chambers said those with Fibromyalgia or chronic pain illness are invited to share their stories next April to the FDA.
"So sharing your story," Chambers said, "letting people know that this is affecting your life and how it affects your loved ones' lives also, is the kind of information they need to justify increasing that research funding and asking Congress for more research funding so we can stop the exorbitant costs of Fibromyalgia."
The Providence resident said she will continue to work for changes that help people with chronic illness and support the people who suffer.

Clarion Call for Advisers - Trusted technology. Simple investing. Solid returns.
If financial advisers ever needed a clarion call it was delivered in the findings of The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (Commission).
A financial services industry shake up has started.
Reforms should follow. How deep and wide ranging the changes will be is unknown but one thing is certain, the financial advice sector will face greater scrutiny. Compliance could become even more onerous adding to administrative cost pressures. All the while the Australian public's loss of faith in the big bank financial advisory services could rub off onto the entire industry. But this only represents a risk for financial advisers who are unwilling to adapt.
Change brings disruption along with opportunity for those quick enough to adapt and find new ways to service clients. Think digital technology, think fintech, and deliver better more efficient services to grow your business.
The Commission found unwarranted charges for the management of cash and safe assets on platforms. Progressive financial advisers will know that digital technology now offers cost and time saving solutions for cash and term deposit management for financial advisers and self-directed investors.
Much will continue to be made of Commission's findings. So it should. Regular scrutiny of our institutions is healthy. The sheer size and behaviour of the Big Four banks often puts them in the spotlight. Even financial advice and fund management divisions are being held to account. Journalists are delighting in the newsworthy material the Commission is producing. Financial advisers should note the impact the findings are having on public perception of their profession.
Though messy on the surface, the scrutiny is part of an ongoing force that promotes financial market integrity. Revelations so far support the case for self-directed investing unless financial advisers adapt and find new ways to service clients. Digital tools are more important than ever especially for routine essential tasks such as cash and deposit management.
The digital revolution is making the task of managing cash and term deposits easier. Let's put things in perspective by considering the bigger picture and opportunities in cash and deposit management.
Our ongoing scrutiny of financial organisations is a force that moderates market power and contributes to our world-class financial system. The Royal Commission is motivated by the wrong doings of banks however smart investors should appreciate our financial system's many positive qualities.
The Big Four dominate the banking industry although the smaller banks can be the source of opportunity.
As at the end of the September quarter 2017, the major banks held approximately three-quarters of total assets held by ADI's (2) in Australia (3).
Yet they made up only 2.7 per cent of the total number of ADI's in Australia (4). The remaining banks are smaller and a growing number of new entrants from overseas.
Investors intuitively understand the benefits of competition and so do financial advisers. Competition is driving innovation amongst the smaller banks, for they can only thrive by finding better ways to attract and service customers.
The system is working though it can look a little messy on the surface.
Reforms are inevitable; the big banks are already making moves.
Any action that promotes financial market integrity and competition is good for investors.
Financial advisers could add value for their clients immediately by exploring term deposit offers beyond the Big Four. The need to win customers should encourage competitive term deposit offers among small banks along with a willingness to make their offers available by way of new digital technologies. Depositing and moving money is becoming easier as smaller banks are willing to link with innovative term deposit or cash management platforms.
Opportunities abound for progressive financial advisers and they would benefit by looking beyond the Big Four and adopting new digital solutions.


I can't remember a time that I did not draw or paint. It is a gift from God and passed down from my Mother who always encouraged me to learn and grow in my paintings. I am self taught, taking workshops or classes here and there to hone my passion in painting and sculpture.
I am a watercolor painter and sculptor. Watercolor is truly and amazing medium because of the flow and granulation you can achieve that no other paints can quite do. I have also learned that painting on wood panels I can add watercolor pencil in a scribble technique, which adds a new dimension to the piece and allows me to work in a very large format.
My sculptures are up and coming. They are bronze busts of our beautiful dogs that passed and inside the bronze cavity will house the ashes. TRULY a work of passion.
I love to tell a story, create a mood or just make people "feel" when they look at my work. Portraits are one of my favorite things to paint, every face tells a story. I want to share my gift to the world and in some way capture a moment or image for eternity.

Abstract: Biological vision is envied for its ability to learn to recognize objects in the 3D world undergoing physical transformations. A recent hypothesis is that the ventral visual pathway exploits the manifold nature of these transformations to form neural codes that are efficient for discrimination, but there is no compelling model for how this representation is learned from data. We propose a computational model that performs unsupervised learning on received retinal imagery to infer identity-preserving transformations. We show that such a model can successfully learn useful representations on a subset of objects that can be transferred to new objects. We also demonstrate that this model can be used to infer 3D transformations from 2D imagery despite the ill-conditioned nature of the problem. This model for 3D inference can account for psychophysical experiments such as 3D shape perception from random-dot kinematograms.


Your immune system is the body's natural defence against things that can make you ill. The power of your immune system determines your body's ability to resist infection. Blis Oral Probiotics are the world's first advanced oral probiotics and are proven to support a healthy immune response, through maintaining a healthy balance of good bacteria.
The human body is amazingly complex. It can naturally fight back against pathogens – bacteria that cause disease – but it needs a healthy immune system to do this.
Your immune system protects your body against organisms or substances that might cause disease. The power or strength of your body's natural defence system determines your body's ability to resist invaders, and if your system isn't operating at maximum capacity, you're more likely fall prey to them.
Immunity support for your body starts at the mouth and throat.
Your mouth and throat (oral cavity) is home to billions of bacteria.
Everyday, the things you eat, drink and breathe introduce new bad bacteria that attempt to displace the natural and beneficial bacteria of your oral cavity. This can cause a change or imbalance of the beneficial bacteria in the mouth and throat, which can affect your overall health and wellbeing.
BLIS K12™ is a new generation of advanced oral probiotics, developed from a special strain of beneficial bacteria called Streptococcus salivarius that is found to occur naturally in the healthy mouths and throats of adults and children.
For daily immunity support: DailyDefence is a great way to maintain a consistent level of good BLIS K12 in your oral cavity. DailyDefence Junior was developed in a powder format for children - so they too can receive the same benefit from BLIS K12 to help support their ear, nose and throat immunity.
For situations where you will be exposed to potentially higher levels of bad bugs we have TravelProtect.
TravelProtect gives your mouth and throat the comprehensive protection it needs whenever and wherever you travel. Airborne germs and bacteria are a common cause of concern for travellers and many of these germs enter the body through the nose and mouth. The TravelProtect regimen is specifically designed to prepare your body for exposure to controlled environments (such as aeroplanes) and keep BLIS K12 levels as high as possible over an extended period to cover your travel.

Jordan Goldwire played a bigger role than expected this year.
Duke men's basketball 2018-19 player review: Jordan Goldwire
By Michael Model | 04/09/2019
Jordan Goldwire
Height: 6-foot-2
Position: Point Guard
This year's stat line: 0.9 PPG, 0.7 APG, 0.6 SPG
The Blue Zone's projected stat line: 1.0 PPG, 0.9 APG, .321 FG%
Season breakdown: After being relegated to garbage time for the first season and a half of his career, Jordan Goldwire emerged onto the stage against Louisville Feb. 12. The Norcross, Ga., native played a crucial role in the Blue Devils' 23-point comeback against the Cardinals with a pair of steals and earned Mike Krzyzewski's trust as a defensive spark down the stretch.
March proved to be the best month of the three-star recruit's career as he quickly emerged as one of the first players off the bench for Duke. Goldwire followed up a career-high five-point performance against Syracuse in the ACC tournament quarterfinals with domination against North Carolina the following night. With the Blue Devils trailing by as much as 13 early, Goldwire once again provided a defensive spark and worked with Tre Jones to lock down the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-2 guard played a career-high 28 minutes and added a pair of steals as Duke escaped with a 74-73 victory.
Goldwire rose up the rotation entering the NCAA tournament, earning 36 minutes between North Dakota State and Central Florida. He proved to be not only a defensive spark, but contributed on the offensive end. The Norcross, Ga., native drained clutch triples in both matchups, but would earn just three total minutes during the regional weekend as teams began to exploit Jones' and Goldwire's weakness—perimeter shooting.
Results relative to expectations: It was expected that Goldwire's minutes would be limited entering the season with Javin DeLaurier, Jack White and Alex O'Connell all ahead of him off the bench on the depth chart. And after White's dominant start to the season, it appeared likely that Goldwire would not see any meaningful minutes for another season.
However, that all changed with White and O'Connell struggling mightily on both ends of the floor in the middle of the year. Goldwire's breakout performance against Louisville made him Krzyzewski's go-to defensive spark, which helped him climb the depth chart. And if it wasn't for the return of Jones next season, there would have been a very good case to be made for Goldwire to take over the starting job next fall.
Stay tuned to the Blue Zone for our continuing player reviews. Previous players previewed include Justin Robinson, Joey Baker and Alex' O'Connell.
Did The Chronicle failing to respond to Trae Young's direct message in 2015 cost Duke any chances it had of acquiring the star point guard?

Down Syndrome Teen Scores His Dream Touchdown To Make His Terminally Ill Mom Smile 1k
Robby Heil is a treasure to Michigan's Novi High School football team and is a beloved member of the team. He has always admired the sport but with his Down Syndrome, finds it difficult to keep up on the field. He decided he still wanted to be a part of the team and took on the role as the water boy, while suiting and booting up every now and then to play on the big field.
Recently the team learned that his mom who was looking after him full time was diagnosed with cancer at an advanced stage. They wanted to do something that would make him and his mom happy as they truly and thoroughly deserve it.
She was sitting on the sideline, unaware that anything was planned for her and taking photos of Rob on the field and witnessed her son score his first ever touchdown, leaving her full of tears!
"No matter how bad a day he's having, it's a smile from ear to ear and the opportunity to put that helmet on tonight, it brought tears to my eyes tonight and tears all over the place," team head coach Jeff Burnside told WDIV.
The team they were facing up against were also in on the surprise and made sure it was a memorable day for everyone!
Mom Debbie Hell said she couldn't hold back her joy and broke down in tears of happiness.
"This team has been instrumental in helping me get him to practice while i'm at chemo. It takes a village to raise my son and this village has really been outstanding," Heil told WDIV.

It is easy to figure out how much I spend every month on rent. It is also easy to figure out how much I spend on gas, electricity and the telephone.
The price of a month's worth of food is harder to calculate. It depends on whether or not you make the meals yourself, or if you eat out at restaurants, and it depends on the price of foods you choose to eat. In early 2004, I decided to keep records of the price and time required to eat all of my meals at home, and to compare them to a month of eating all of my meals at restaurants.
On February 1st, 2004, I started my month of eating in. This meant that I would only eat food and drink from grocery stores, except for water.
February 1st was Super Bowl Sunday. I made some Coffee and went shopping.
I stopped at Corti Brothers to weigh myself.
I don't usually buy more than two bags of groceries at the store, but this month was going to be different.
I grabbed a cart and wheeled it around, picking up whatever looked good. There were crowds of people there, shopping for snacks and beer, getting ready to spend the afternoon in front of the television.
It was a pleasant shopping experience, 44 minutes shopping at Raley's. After I shot this photo, I realized I had parked outside of an electromagnetic ring which locked up the wheels of my shopping cart.
I had to carry the six shopping bags to my car.
My first real meal was lunch. I made pasta with creamy tuna sauce. That sounds a lot worse than it tastes.
Preparing pasta takes time, to boil the water and to cook the pasta, but it only took a small part of my attention, so I was able to do other things around the house at the same time.
I also had a tangerine.
Later, for dinner, I cooked a frozen Red Baron pizza.
Yes, I remembered to remove the cardboard from under the pizza.
Unfortunately I was watching Amityville Horror 2, the Possession with Stacy, so I took my eyes off of the pizza and ended up burning it.
I also drank orange juice and ate a pear.
A little while (2� hours) later, Mike noticed that I had left the oven on.
Monday was the first day back at work. I had coffee and an apple for breakfast.
We have a little fruit basket at work. I encourage anyone that runs a small business to have fruits and vegetables available for their employees. It is a nice perk.
I didn't make time to pack lunch, but I live really close to my work, so I went home and had chili with Saltines and Orange Juice.
I cooked the chili in the microwave.
Microwave ovens cut cooking times, but they increase cleaning times. While all the lunch dishes took just 2 minutes to wash, the microwave took almost 5 minutes to clean.
Pasta with tomato sauce and diet cream soda for dinner.

The tool does not work on Server 2003 either, at least, not when using WSS 3.0 Service Pack 2. The web.config file in the LCMWeb directory references an assembly in the GAC named "Microsoft.Internal.MIME", with the version 8.0.0.0. Guess what? That assembly was upgraded with Service Pack to to version 8.0.681.0. But even after updating the web.config file to the new version, I still get errors when attempting to load the LCMWebConfig.aspx page. humph.
Essentially, this tool is not supported, and ,to make matters worse, it is not being maintained. I really would hate to spend time beating it into shape only to have the damn thing break when the next service pack or release of WSS comes out.

The non-RSD18 editiion of this new solo LP from The Charlatans legendary frontman Tim Burgess.
From the immense "Clutching at Insignificance" to the unabashed pop of "Just One Kiss (One Last Kiss)", to the angular standout gem that is "Nik V.", As I Was Nowdeftly covers vast musical territory, though quite remarkably never takes a wrong turn. And while As I Was Now captures the imagination as a "found" work of sorts, this release is absolutely an album in every sense of the word, beautifully capturing a particular time and place in the lives of Burgess and his friends nearly ten years ago.
