Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo sidelined for 2-3 months after thigh surgery
By Arsh Das
Arthur Melo has undergone successful surgery on his thigh, for an injury sustained during training. Since joining Liverpool on deadline day on a loan deal from Juventus, the Brazilian's appearances have been drastically limited.
He has only played 13 minutes for the first team, coming off the bench in the Champions League defeat against Napoli. He was expected to be in the squad for the game against Arsenal today, and the Champions League clash against Rangers in midweek.

Bad news for Liverpool and Arthur Melo. The Brazilian midfielder will undergo surgery this weekend, as reported by @JamesPearceLFC — it's confirmed. 🚨🇧🇷 #LFC

The midfielder was signed as cover for Jordan Henderson and Thiago, who had suffered injuries early in the season. However, the 26-year-old tore his quad muscle while running in training on Monday. And now, will be out for the next two to three months at the very least.
Initial assessment after the procedure suggests that he will only be available in 2023. And as a result, any hopes of making the Brazil World Cup squad have evaporated for the player.
After completing his move, Arthur lacked match fitness and did double training sessions during the international break to get back in shape. He also played with the juniors in order to find his fitness. And just when it seemed like he'd be getting regular game time, an injury has hampered his progress and sent him back to square one.

Nintendo announces the more portable Switch Lite
Confirming the assorted reports, leaks and rumours we've seen and heard over the past few months, Nintendo has announced the Switch Lite - a smaller, more compact version of its stablemate, designed specifically for use in handheld mode.
With a simpler form factor than the regular Switch, the Lite will also boast a longer battery life, and, because its controllers are permanently attached to the sides of the beast rather than detachable, a much cheaper price point – it'll cost $199.99 in the US, which makes it a third cheaper than the system many of us already have parked under our televisions.
If you're also concerned about whether your consoles will match your soft furnishings, the Switch Lite will come in a selection of colours at launch - yellow, grey and turquoise - though if previous Nintendo consoles are anything to go by, we can expect dozens of variations to emerge in the near future. A Tom Nook-themed Switch Lite, released in time for the latest Animal Crossing entry next March? We certainly wouldn't rule it out.
Otherwise, there are few surprises contained in the Lite, at least going on what we've seen so far: the touchscreen's fractionally smaller (5.5 inches versus the Big Switch's 6.2 inches), and at 8.2 inches long, it's more compact than the other model, too.
The big thing to bear in mind is that, for $100 less, you're getting a bit less flexibility: the Lite won't come with a charging cradle, and it can't be connected to a television. All the same, it's a tempting enough gadget at that price point, much like the 2DS before it; at the very least, its solid design means we won't be losing those dinky Joy-Cons down the back of the sofa.
The Switch Lite launches on the 20 September. Until then, here's Nintendo's propaganda video:

What are the Components of a Project Plan?
According to the PMI, project planning is a procedure that involves the strategic management of the processes related to the project, generally known as "Knowledge Areas". Consider project planning as the process of building the project's navigation map which will guide you step by step through all the areas of interest, showing you the right path to a successful project.
The process of creating your project plan components is essential to each project and is a procedure that may be performed several times through the life cycle of a project. But, what are the key components of a project plan? In simple words, they are the combination of the Core and the Facilitating processes of a project, all of which are focused on the development of a consistent, coherent document that includes all the tasks that need to be executed throughout the project's phases.
Planning and Defining the Scope: The first thing to do is to develop a clear scope statement as the project's foundation. The whole project will be built upon this and after that you can subdivide the major project objectives into clear and manageable deliverables.
Developing the Schedule: This requires a series of several procedures in order to create the project schedule that involves: Identifying and cataloguing the activities that must be performed to produce the various project deliverables, analyzing the sequence of activities and documenting any interactivity dependencies. Estimating all the work periods needed and how long it will take to complete individual activities. It is also useful to design a Milestone List, which lists the most important deliverables as way points, which will help you to evaluate the progress of a project.
Resource Planning: This includes the determination of resources (people, equipment, materials, etc.) and the quantities necessary to carry out the project activities, the development of a cost approximation of the resources required to complete the project and the cost budgeting and the allocation of the overall cost estimation to individual work packages.
Quality planning: You should identify the quality standards relevant to the project and determine how to achieve them.
Organizational Planning – WBS (Work Breakdown Structure): Here, you should identify, document and assign project roles and responsibilities among the staff and set the reporting relations. The next step is Staff Acquisition, or getting the needed human resources assigned to and working on the project. A useful tip is to form clear and manageable work packages that correspond to the individual work performed by each of the staff and create a document which will serve as a reference point for managing project progress.
Setting a Communications plan: This involves configuring the information and communications needs of all the stakeholders (who needs what information, when will they need it and how they will get it).
Risk Management Planning, is one of the most important components of a project plan and decides the approach and plan for risk management in a project. In other words, it is the safety net of each project and involves the following processes: Identifying key risks likely to affect the project and documenting the characteristics of each. Performing a Qualitative Risk Analysis of the project's risks and conditions in order to prioritize their effects on the project objectives. Running a Quantitative Risk Analysis, measuring the probability and impact of each of the risks and estimating their impact on the project's objectives. Develop a Risk Response Plan, building up a mechanism to strengthen contingencies and reduce any threats to the project's objectives from risk.
Procurement Planning: Defining what to procure, how much to procure and when.
Solicitation Planning: Documenting product requirements and identifying potential sources.
All the project management plan components listed above are to be gathered together to form a cohesive and coherent document that includes all the phases of the life cycle of the project. Hence, it is essential to share this document with all the stakeholders of the project, to read through it, communicate any unclear points, exchange opinions, negotiate and make all the necessary alterations so as to share a finalized version with all involved.
Once your project plan is complete, the document can be used to resolve issues and identify your progress as the project moves forward. In other words, a good plan is essential for delivering a successful project.

The newest addition to Disney Springs is Morimoto Asia, and this Wednesday was opening day for Chef Morimoto and his staff.
The story of Morimoto Asia, as well as many of the other venues in Disney Springs, starts with the concept of a small, waterfront town. This town has gone through many changes over the years and the current location for Morimoto Asia used to be known as the Springs Bottling Co.
This old warehouse seemed to be a focal point for the town of Disney Springs as it entered the industrial age. The decor inside Morimoto Asia pays tribute to its history with exposed steel, an open layout, and concrete floors. The industrial structure is met with a beautiful decor that has turned a once cold warehouse into an inviting dining location.
The exterior of the building is industrial, yet elegant. I loved taking photos at dusk.
Duck being prepared and Chef Morimoto looking over his kitchen.
The focal point of the room are the large chandeliers.
There are two bars. One downstairs, and one upstairs.
Really cool light fixture that runs through the bar upstairs and runs to the front check-in desk. Of course they were made of bottles.
The outside, second floor, patio.
Chef Morimoto has created his first ever pan-Asian menu. Having paid completely out of pocket, I feel that prices are reasonable compared to other Walt Disney World fine dining locations.
We arrived, without a reservation, at 7:45pm and were told that they would begin allowing walk-ups at 8pm. Sure enough, we were seated just before 8pm on the ground floor of the two story restaurant, near the kitchen. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Kakuni Pork Bao, Spider roll, Duck "Nasi Goreng", and finished with the Chocolate Cream & Crunch.
The elongated spring rolls made this a wonderfully easy starter to settle in. Almost a standard spring roll, taste wise, until you dipped it into the apricot sweet sauce. This sauce made the appetizer. It wasn't too sweet, and the apricot paired wonderfully with the spring roll. I wasn't able to identify much of the cream cheese, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as long as they don't change the apricot sauce.
Our only dim sum dish of the night was the Kakuni Pork Bao. The pork was nice and soft throughout with a slight crunch on the outside from the cooking. The steamed buns were equally soft and tasty. Just like the crab rangoon, the sauce is what makes this dish. The spicy mayo lives up to its name. The modest amount of mayo does the trick and will offer a nice kick with every bite.
The only dish of the night without a distinct flavor was the Spider sushi roll, and that might have been my own fault for not utilizing the spicy mayo. Having just completed the dim sum, I elected to forgo the mayo and enjoy the crab. That said, the crab was good and I was happy with the amount each roll contained. If you go with the spider, enjoy it with the spicy mayo!
This dish was the highlight of our meal (minus dessert, but more on that in a bit). The duck was unbelievable! I enjoy duck whenever I can and adding fried rice into the mix worked perfectly in my opinion. The duck was soft and packed with flavor. The egg on top was also cooked perfectly. I will find myself back at Morimoto Asia in the future and I will also find this dish in front of me. If you like duck, I recommend it for your visit.
Dark chocolate gelato, hazelnut crunchies, mandarin orange jelly, and oreos. What more could you want? There is actually a chocolate cream hidden under a layer of orange jelly, and the pairing is delicious. I love the fact that you get the jelly and chocolate cream in every bite. I've never had oreo tempura or even considered it, but I will never look at oreos the same. While the dessert was cold, the oreos were as warm as cookies fresh out of the oven. Even those of you who don't like oreos will love this dessert. If you don't like them, feel free to pass them my way!
Being opening night, it would be understandable if the staff was stressed or even still learning the ropes, but that wasn't the case. From the front of the house all the way up to Chef Morimoto himself, everyone was in high spirits and things seemed to be running smoothly. A manager came over and we enjoyed some small talk in between dishes. He said that they had four trial runs while seating over 300 people in each run to prepare themselves, and it showed. Our waiter, Dimitri, was very knowledgeable and helpful when guiding us through the menu. Even Chef Morimoto was out to mingle with guests and take pictures!
Disney Springs just keeps getting better. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Morimoto Asia and found the dishes to be some of the best on property. If you enjoy pan-Asian food, I would highly suggest you fit Morimoto Asia into your upcoming Disney vacation.

Was Elie Wiesel Married? His Wife Is Also A Humanitarian
By Cristina Arreola
Nobel Peace Prize winner and author Elie Wiesel died on Saturday at the age of 87. Best known for his memoir, Night, the author and activist fought hard his entire life to combat indifference and create a world where tragedies like the Holocaust cannot occur. Because most of us read Night in high school, we know much of his life as a teenager during the Holocaust. But many of don't know too much about Wiesel's life since then. You may wonder: was Elie Wiesel married?
Elie Wiesel has been married to Marion Wiesel (born Marion Erster Rose) since 1969. Marion Wiesel has two children: Jennifer, a daughter from a previous marriage, and Elisha, the son she shares with Elie Wiesel.
According to a biography published by Central Synagogue, Marion Wiesel was born in Vienna and is also a Holocaust survivor. She and her family escaped Austria during the Holocaust by hiring a guide to illegally transport them to Belgium, but when the Nazis invaded Belgium, they were sent to an internment camp in France. They escaped to Switzerland in 1942, and stayed there until 1947.
When she met Elie Wiesel, she was in the process of getting divorced. They married in Jerusalem in 1969, and became a writing and translating team. In fact, she translated some of his works, including the 2006 edition of Night, which was originally written in Yiddish.
Her humanitarian work extends beyond the page. In 1986 — the same year Elie Wiesel received his Nobel Peace Prize — she and her husband founded The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, an organization dedicated to combatting indifference, intolerance, and injustice through international dialogue and youth-focused programs. Like her husband, Marion has truly dedicated her life to fighting indifference and hate.

Upper Hut Enterprises Ltd. was one of the first area businesses to sign on as a Sustainability Champion for the Cochrane Sustainability Plan. Owners Bryan Skrypnek and Brent Schmidt recently spoke with SPUR about the importance of sustainability within the community, and how it affects almost all elements of their business.
Q: Why did Upper Hut Enterprises Ltd. become involved with the Cochrane Sustainability Plan?
A: Upper Hut got involved with the Cochrane Sustainability Plan in order to step away from a construction industry that can be a really unsustainable business. We have participated in both unsustainable as well as very sustainable practices. The more projects we run, the more we become interested in sustainable ways of doing things. Quite simply, it is obviously the right thing to do.
Q: What are the main steps Upper Hut Enterprises Ltd. takes to be sustainable?
A: Sustainability for Upper Hut involves recycling building materials, donating lightly used materials to charity for resale and generally just advising clients on low energy and sustainable products and building systems.
Most recently Upper Hut has started work on what will hopefully become one of Cochrane's first truly sustainable developments. This project is extremely exciting for us; we are in the planning and design stage at present. As a first stage we have taken an unlivable tear down of a home and through much effort, we have resurrected it into a really cute, clean, and rentable home. Over 50 cubic yards of garbage that was left on the property has been successfully sifted through and recycled. Also, one entire truckload of hazardous waste has been disposed of. The goal upon developing this property will be to utilize or move the home, or at the very least, salvage some of the great materials this building has to offer.
In the end, the level of sustainability in a development such as this will be largely client driven. We welcome the chance to connect with individuals who are interested in this kind of development.
Q: What are the benefits of being a Champion of the Cochrane Sustainability Plan?
A: Being a Sustainability Champion has served as a reminder and inspiration for us to take more care in our business decisions as they relate to sustainability and the environment. We are committed to taking our business to a new level and will encourage any other business owners to do the same.

Iconic Oceans Are Also Maritime Accident Hotspots
The South China Sea, Black Sea, the British Isles and east Mediterranean are only some of the world's most iconic oceans at the most risk from shipping accidents. This is the key finding from the report Accidents At Sea released by WWF for World Oceans Day.
The risk of environmental damage is directly linked to the amount and type of dangerous substances being transported as well as the sensitivity of the marine area where maritime accidents could occur. Equally important is the impact on the livelihoods and food security of millions of people relying on the resources of the marine areas.
Dr Simon Walmsley, Marine Manager of WWF International, said "Since 1999 there have been 293 shipping accidents in the South China Sea and east Indies, home of the Coral Triangle and 76 per cent of the world's coral species."
Both fishing vessels and cargo ships are heavily implicated in shipping accidents in the marine areas, at 25% and over 40% of total vessels lost at sea respectively. According to the report, the greatest probability of a maritime accident taking place is when all the following factors converge:
Key hotspot locations – Southeast Asia, particularly the Coral Triangle, the east Mediterranean and Black Sea, North Sea and British Isles
Vessels over 10 years old
Poorly performing flag states
Being a general cargo or fishing vessel
– Accidents at Sea by WWF
Administrative complexities and economic factors also impact shipping safety standards in several ways. Flag states with unsound records in maritime safety performance tend to back off from conventions so as not to submit under regulations. Ships that hustle from port to port to minimize turn-around time and employ a minimum number of officers and crew also increase its risks of a maritime accident.
WWF released an infographic in conjunction with the report.
Dr. Walmsley added, "We really want to see the shipping industry promote greater owner and operator responsibility and encourage owners to register with better flag states, the country which a vessel is registered to."
"Additionally, irresponsible and badly performing owners and countries need to be exposed in order to motivate them to significantly increase their standards which will decrease the number of accidents we see still occurring today."
An increase is projected for the global fleet including fishing vessels and cargo ships in coming years. Routine operations in highly risky areas are most likely as is the probability of accidents and severity of impacts. Unless precautionary measures and improved regulation are implemented to address identifiable risk factors, sensitive marine areas continue to be at risk.

I would speak to Joe after 8:30 mass. One Sunday, he pulled a metal "guardian angel" out of his suitcoat pocket, said he wanted me to have it and that he had made it years before. He explained how he had cut out the metal shapes and adhered them together. I was deeply touched! It occurred to me that perhaps Joe had only made one angel and his family should have it. I waited for Brien the following Sunday and explained my desire to return the angel. He started to smile and said "He buys those for $1.00 at Goodwill; I keep telling him not to say he made them!" I keep Joe's guardian angel with me always.
James Graham
Rest in Peace "Uncle Joe". Thank you for your service and your friendship.

We're what professionalism sounds like. The perfect soundtrack to the best day of your life, spun with your wedding or event in mind. The DJs of Complete Weddings + Events Grand Forks will keep you and your guests dancing till the reception ends.
How would you describe your personality? I'm friendly, understanding, but most importantly you can trust me. I'm very workmanlike and methodical, but not clinical. I'm easy to be around, and an excellent communicator. I will be the part of your reception you will not have to worry about.
What makes you unique as a DJ? I'm a working musician, so I have an acute understanding of the way music can affect a room, people's moods, and the atmosphere of a room in general. That being said, I've been in many different musical situations and have a broad palette to draw from for song choices. Don't like Top 40? No problem, I can spin solid country gold. Bride or Groom a big hip hop fan? I've got no problem playing Lil Pump. I know the repertoire because I've played these tunes in various bands on stage myself.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events? I enjoy working at Complete because it's fulfilling. There's not many jobs where you can apply your unique personality and style, as well as help make possibly the most important day of a person's life go smooth and stress-free.
What is the best part about DJing at weddings? The best part is getting to help people have a great time. When you're having fun, so am I.
What is your #1 goal at an event? My number one goal at an event is to have everyone wanting the party to keep going long after the reception ends.
How would you describe your personality? I find myself to be very bubbly, creative and personable with a really cheesy sense of humor. I laugh a lot and like to make close connections with my coworkers and clients. I love that I get to show all of these parts of myself through this job.
What makes you unique as a DJ? My outlook is to view every wedding I DJ as my best friend's wedding. I want to work with the couples on a personal level to make sure their visions for their special day are not only being heard, but delivered.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events? My job is so fun I often don't see it as work! The team that I am a part of here at Complete is very supportive and has helped me become more confident and outgoing. We all have the same goals at the end of the day so we understand each other well.
What is the best part about DJing at Weddings? I love the small, meaningful moments I get to have with the guests and couples. I love to see the bride get down on dance floor with her bridesmaids when I play the song she's been waiting to hear. The best part is doing the cupid shuffle with the crowd- never gets old!
What is your #1 goal at an event? My main goal is to be the DJ that gets brought up long after the wedding has happened! I want to be memorable and make people laugh. Anyone can play music, but to interact with the guests and listen to what they want is what I always aim to do.
How would you describe your personality? I'm pretty laid back and can adapt and go with the flow, I've DJed enough to know that despite your hardest efforts and best planning no wedding ever goes 100% according to plan so the plan must be able to adapt and change as the night goes on. I pride myself in handling those changes and keeping the fun going!
What makes you unique as a DJ? I don't consider myself a DJ, I'm more of a day of coordinator who also happens to play music and pack the dancefloor. If you need more silverware, if the bridesmaid ripped her dress, if you need help loading flowers after the reception I'm there, my job description doesn't stop at playing music I'm not happy unless the bride and groom have the best night possible and have to do as little as possible except enjoy themselves.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events? What's not to love? Every weekend I get to celebrate with a ton of people on a couple's happiest day! Being a small part of their big day is the biggest honor I can think of and I love soaking it all in.
What is the best part about DJing at weddings? My favorite part is after I DJ a couple's wedding and then a month or 6 months or even a year later somebody who was at that wedding calls me and asks me to be a part of their big day too! Seeing the same people at weddings and having that built in rapport and being a part of the family for those 6-8 hours is really special.
What is your #1 goal at an event? My number 1 goal at an event is to make sure the bride and groom can relax and enjoy their day as much as possible. Weddings are inherently stressful and busy but the more I can do the less the bride and groom and their guests have to do.
I am one of a kind!!!
If you are in my presence, you are being cared for. Everything you say will be taken in consideration. I just want everyone I come into contact with as comfortable and as original as possible. Then, I will be able to understand you and try to elevate you.
Music is universal, so I know that I can connect to any age group, race, all at one time, playing one or two songs. I mean everyone loves the Cupid Shuffle and the Macarena!!!
There is more to it though, I get excited planning and executing the Grand Entrance!!! It is the first time the Mr and Mrs will be introduced as one. So I thrive on making that moment as special and as memorable as possible.
I enjoy working with Complete because I gain so much knowledge serving each and every individual I encounter. I am able to learn and make an impact in every city, state I travel to. For that, I am forever thankful for Complete!
The best part about DJing is playing a song that the majority of the crowd knows. Everyone having that special moment together that they will remember for a lifetime. Even if everyone doesn't know the song, it's like a domino effect, they will all fall in line. Now that, is always great to see!
What is your #1 goal at an event?
Feeling I have exceeded all expectations, as well as made an impact in everyone's life, from the young ones to our senior citizens!
How would you describe your personality? Energy! If there's a weak point at any point of time, I want to be there to make the most of it. I attempt to make friends with everyone I meet which makes me much more connected to who I'm around.
What makes you unique as a DJ? I've helped lead a hip hop dance team in Fargo for 2 years so I've got plenty of moves. I was in a band for 4 years and self taught myself drums giving me the ability to feel music to the core.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events? With Complete I like to have fun! I get a ton of inspiration from my other colleagues that challenges me to perform better at weddings. My favorite part about it is that I get to be there and put on a show for couple's most important day of their lives!
What is the best part about DJing at Weddings? Smiles and laughs. Most of my life I've sought after these moments for people I meet. I want and strive for people to enjoy themselves and have a great time!
What is your #1 goal at an event? My number one goal is for everyone to get on the dance floor at least once. Getting that brings me joy that I did my job right.
I am very people orientated, so getting in touch with people is something that has never been an issue for me. I know how to connect with people, and find way to make all wedding guest feel happy to have me around as their DJ.
The atmosphere of everyone around me. Everyone from photo booth, to management. The encouragement and passion between us. It helps build friendships, and helps to build each other in more ways than one.
The atmosphere of the weddings. Everyone is in wonderful moods, and I get to be the one to make sure that the moment I start a wedding, that I'm making everyone in a better and happier mood than they knew they could be.
My #1 goal I have is to make sure by the end of the night, people know that they have witnessed a great (possibly best) wedding they have ever been to, and make the Bride and Groom know they had a great Wedding Day. Anywhere from when the dinner starts and making people feel welcome, to the last song when the dance floor is full.
From big days to school dances, bat mitzvahs to corporate gatherings, our Complete Weddings + Events Grand Forks DJs work with you to create the perfect event, with professional party motivation and expertly coordinated announcements.

Joyce Colleen Kammerer
August 4, 1932 - June 29, 2016
Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church
404 N. Green Street
Sunday 7/3, 11:30 am
Joyce Colleen Kammerer, age 83, of McHenry, passed away Wednesday, June 29, 2016, at Alden Terrace Nursing Home from complications of Alzheimers Disease. She was born August 4, 1932 in Des Plaines to Edward and Sylvia (Haas) Magoon. On February 4, 1951, she married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, George Kammerer Jr., at Immanuel Lutheran Church in DesPlaines. Following her marriage, Joyce lived in Des Plaines until becoming a resident of McHenry in 1957. For 28 years, she was employed at Eagle Foods in McHenry.
A large part of Joyce's life was devoted to a passion for dancing with her husband, George. They were Round Dance instructors, teaching ballroom dance and choreographing over 50 dance numbers. During their dance career, they won a bronze medal in international ball room dancing, and were inducted into the Illinois Dance Hall of Fame in 2008 (the first IL couple to be so honored). Throughout their dancing career, they taught dance at 26 national conventions and enjoyed traveling as instructors on 16 cruises, including several cruises to Hawaii. Joyce was a skilled seamstress, with a natural talent for making dozens of professional dance costumes for both herself and many dance students.
A faithful member of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Joyce and her husband were one of the ten original families with the church since it opened its doors over 50 years ago. Over the years, Joyce was actively involved with the Sunday School as well as the Altar Guild.
A loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother, her family was always her dearest and most important priority in life. Lovingly summed up by George, he reflected "We had a great life together".
In addition to her husband of 65 years, Joyce is survived by five children, Gail Van Kanegan of Rochester, MN, Guy (Kathy) Kammerer of Muskego, WI, Glory (Lee) Romano of Homer Glen, Gregg (Cindy) Kammerer of Crystal Lake, Gerri (Steven) Lunde of McHenry; several grandchildren, Michael (Michelle Merrill) Van Kanegan, Timothy (Natalie) Van Kanegan, Lucas (Michelle) Kammerer, Stacia (Chad) Riffe, Wayne Hitt, Samuel Lunde, Maxwell Lunde; eight great-grandchildren, Indira, Maya, Neela, Emma, Emmit, Wayne, Sarah, Gavin; and two brothers, Patrick (Beth) Magoon, and Edward (Marla) Magoon.
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents.
Friends are invited to join her family for a memorial service at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, July 3, 2016, at Shepherd of The Hills Lutheran Church, 404 N. Green Street, McHenry, IL 60050.
For those wishing to send an expression of sympathy, her family suggests memorials to the Alzheimer's Association, 8430 W. Bryn Mawr, Ste. 800, Chicago, IL 60631.
Arrangements were entrusted to Justen Funeral Home & Crematory. For information, please call the funeral hone at 815-385-2400, or visit www.justenfh.com, where friends may leave an on-line condolence message for her family.

George, please accept my condolences during this difficult time. I have many fond memories of you two when we all gathered together at Roundalab and at Nationals. I actually had a dream about this last night where we were together celebrating Joyce's life. Heading up the celebration were Ralph and Joan!! There were hundreds of dancers in the dream. They must have been all the people who danced with you two over the years. Hang in there and lean on your family when you need to. This is a special time for you too. Regards,

New York Quarantine Extended To May 15th
New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that the state's quarantine order has been extended until May 15th.
Not only will all non-essential workers have to remain at home, but the governor also announced that anyone age two and older in New York is required to wear face-coverings in public when they cannot practice social distancing.
"I can't put a mask on 17 million people," Cuomo said Thursday. "But 17 million people will do it. What they have done has worked, and what they will do will bring this state, and this nation, forward."
More than 313,000 people have been infected in NY, NJ and CT and as many as 20,500 have died.
The city's mayor, Bill de Blasio, appeared to be supportive of the much-needed measure.
"This is a tough day, this is not what we're looking for," de Blasio said. "But we have to do this stage by stage, day by day -- stick to it and we'll get there."

Part of being a responsible bird owner is ensuring that their grooming requirements are met regularly. We at DVAH understand that many of our clients would prefer that we trim their bird's nails, wings and beaks because they want to minimize the stress and potential of actually hurting their pet bird. That is why we are happy to offer those services to our clients.
If you have opted to have your bird's wings trimmed then you will need to bring them in twice a year following each major molt.
Trimming your bird's nails serve many important functions. If your bird's nails grow too long then it will become uncomfortable for them to perch and can get caught on toys, clothing or on their cage, which can result in major injuries.
Beak trimming or filing down is not always necessary but it is an important part of keeping your bird healthy. Many birds that have toys to chew on and rocks to rub its beak on can maintain a healthy beak length, however if your bird's beak is growing rapidly or abnormally then it is important to bring them into us, at DVAH, so that we can take the appropriate measures to correct the problems.
Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for your bird!

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — According to a tweet from San Francisco Giants beat reporter Alex Pavlovic of the Mercury News, Mo'ne Davis will be throwing out the first pitch prior to Game 4 of the World Series. Davis has risen in acclaim ever since her performance during the Little League World Series.
Mo'ne Davis throws out the first pitch tonight. Bryan Stow will handle "play ball" duties.
— Alex Pavlovic (@AlexPavlovic) October 25, 2014
Davis' notoriety has gone way beyond Philadelphia. She has appeared on several national shows and her jersey now hangs in the Baseball Hall of Fame to commemorate her accomplishment among other women who have made an impact in the game.
The experience won't be anything new for Davis. She threw out the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium earlier this year and also threw out the first pitch along with her Taney teammates at Citizens Bank Park.
The toss prior to the World Series game should also be quite a breeze due to the fact that she did manage to toss a shut out during the Dragons trip Williamsport.

Lab Ethics,
Change Management,
Regulatory/Legal,
Automation/AI
In the early 1900s a new epidemic began to spread through major American cities. It disproportionately targeted children; more than 100 died from it on the streets of Detroit in the year 1917 alone. Today, a century later, we still don't have a cure, but we've dramatically reduced the harms through a combination of technology and regulation. What was this epidemic? Influenza? Group A streptococcus? No, it was the automobile.
Today automobiles are an integral part of most of our lives. But if we could go back in a time machine, we would see just how unprepared cities were for this new technology. There were no licensing laws, no traffic lights, and no speed limits, let alone traffic police to enforce any of these. Motors may not have been powerful by today's standards, but brakes were even less so, especially when combined with narrow tires and gravel roads. And since modern playgrounds had yet to be invented, the streets were full of children.
In subsequent decades, society has developed a web of risk mitigation mechanisms for motor vehicles. Some advances have been regulatory, such as traffic laws and driver licensing. Others have been technologic, such as antilock brakes, airbags, and road design. These two categories complement and reinforce each other. Quite in contrast to being anti-innovative, auto regulation has spurred a wide range of social and technologic innovation that increases public safety while expanding the usefulness of this form of transportation.
Today a new technology is changing the world in even more dramatic and far-reaching ways: artificial intelligence (AI). It has revolutionized advertising, entertainment, and education, and is invading many other areas of our lives. Some of the most obvious examples include self-driving cars, phones that understand our speech, and online search engines that answer virtually any question. Less obvious examples operate behind the scenes in retailing and service industries. And the medical world has high expectations for AI to improve healthcare.
An Old Structure Fits a New Challenge
AI, like every other powerful technology, introduces new risks alongside new benefits. Managing these risks will not simply be a matter of a single law or technology. Just as with automobiles, it will require a whole new ecosystem of norms, regulations, and technologies.
A major difference between automobiles and AI, though, is that the risks of AI are not directly physical in nature. They're subtler, involving core issues of privacy, social benefit, and fairness.
Medical ethics provides a useful framework for considering such AI risks. In the roughly 2,500 years since Hippocrates authored his famous oath, medical ethics has undergone significant updates. Modern representations include the World Medical Association code for medical practitioners as well as the Common Rule governing human subjects research within the U.S. Four principles underlie these codes: respect for persons, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. AI presents risks to all four.
Respect for Persons
Respect for persons includes patient autonomy and informed consent. Patients have the right to decide for themselves which medical procedures to accept or reject, and effective autonomy requires first understanding the risks and benefits of those procedures. Unlike traditional mathematic models such as logistic regressions, the details of deep learning and other modern AI techniques are not easily translated into human-understandable terms. In general, the more powerful the AI technique, the less explainable it becomes, and the higher the potential for hidden biases and unpredictable behavior. These techniques essentially become black boxes.
When dealing with medical applications of AI, then, it becomes incumbent on the developers of systems to make them freely available for academic study. Only when the behavior of AI models has been thoroughly and independently vetted will patients be able to make informed choices about being subject to them.
Beneficence is perhaps the most obvious medical ethical principle. It says that everything in medicine needs to have a realistic prospect of benefitting a patient. This is potentially in conflict with the business models of technology companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, IBM, and Microsoft, which are far and away the leaders in AI technology in the Western world (China has several as well that are arguably as advanced, but they operate mainly in China).
The prevailing business model for AI at these companies involves acquiring massive volumes of personal data and then monetizing it primarily in the form of targeted advertising. This model is controversial enough in the case of nonmedical data, but potentially unethical in the case of medical data when there is no balancing benefit to the patients whose data is being collected.
Nonmaleficence
The flip side of beneficence is nonmaleficence, sometimes known by the Latin phrase primum non nocere, or "first, do no harm." One potential harm of AI has to do, not with the algorithms per se, but with acquiring and storing the large sets of personal data typically used for training and applying medical AI. In many cases these data sets have been de-identified in order to avoid HIPAA restrictions on data sharing and use. Given the widespread availability of nonmedical data sets of personal information, though, most de-identified data can be readily re-identified simply by cross-referencing with other data. A patient with a stigmatizing medical condition thus could be subject to higher life insurance rates or discriminated against by potential employers or landlords, all without anyone technically violating HIPAA.
At least until new legal privacy protections emerge in the U.S., it will be up to the healthcare industry, including hospitals and health systems, to vigorously protect their patients' data from potential abuses. And judging from news reports over the past year involving large health systems sharing data with large tech companies, it is not entirely clear how strong that line of defense is at present.
The fourth foundational principle of medical ethics is justice, i.e. fairness. One measure of justice with respect to AI is the extent to which it increases or reduces health disparities. If AI developers pursue pharmaceutical-style pricing models, they could further widen the health delivery gaps between haves and have-nots. One way to mitigate this risk might be for health systems and patient interest groups to insist on reasonable pricing and distribution clauses in exchange for sharing the patient data needed to develop AI systems.
Clinical Laboratorians Must Stay Engaged
Medical AI applications will almost certainly grow in number and scope in the coming years. Many of these already are using clinical laboratory data, and in the future they might supplement or even replace certain laboratory tests. And there will almost certainly be large benefits. But the risks are real, and we would be foolish to not discuss and deal with them.
Just as automobile safety has co-evolved in parallel with advances in automotive capability and power, it should be possible to co-evolve AI safety even as its power and capabilities grow. This will almost certainly require new laws, but the pace of legislation almost invariably lags its target. In the meantime, medical and academic communities can do much to develop both technologic and policy-based solutions.

The same search in Bing returns over 50 million pages.When you see that amount of supply, it's not a huge intuitive leap to think that the demand for that kind of product is huge—enough to warrant millions of pages.Usually sites with these kinds of games require that you share your email address in order to play these games.Depending on the integrity of the site owner, the prizes might or might not actually be awarded to real people.Changes in technology have changed the way slot machines are played.Once a simple game where you input money, spun the reels, and looked at the results to see if three symbols lined up in the center, a slot machine now has countless options—multiple paylines, five reels, bonus games, and progressive jackpots. So if you haven't played slot machines for a long time, or if you're new to the world of slots altogether, how do you know which games to play? We've created this site to provide you with answers to commonly asked slot machine questions, articles relating to strategies and tips in addition to whether slot systems actually work and last but not least, free games you can play on our site.My plan is to share the different options a freebie hunter might consider when looking through those millions of pages on the Internet.
None of the games on this site require you to download or register. As you can see below, we have free Bally slots, IGT slots, Aristocrat and so on. A search for the phrase "free slots" returns 137 million pages in Google.
Of course, when someone mentions free slots, they' talking about "free slot machines".
Yeah, you'll see other examples of the word "slots" appearing here and there in the results.
On the other hand, if the only type of slot machine action that you can afford is the free kind, then this is probably as good an option as any—assuming you like the game. Sites that require your email address intend to send you marketing messages—you can count on that.
For example, people who race slot cars call them "slots", too.But this page focuses on the gambling game that's become so amazingly popular over the last few decades.
The first time I heard the term "Love marriage" was when I was hanging out with some Indian friends from college and they were talking about one of their friends who had "a love marriage".

Jennifer Lopez Has Been Slammed By A-Rod's Ex-Wife

Jennifer Lopez has fans all over the world, but one person that isn't a fan of the "Love Don't Cost A Thing" singer is her boyfriend's ex-wife.
According to Radar Online, Cynthia Scurtis, who used to be married to Alex Rodriguez, has taken Jennifer Lopez over the coals, blaming her for her ex-husband's assortment of failures as a husband and as a father.
In a series of court documents obtained by the outlet, Scurtis claims that the singer and actress has influenced A-Rod to threaten to cut off his child support payments.
What's more, Scurtis included her disparaging remarks about Jennifer Lopez in a series of court documents filed by her brother, Constantine, against her now-ex-husband.
Constantine Scurtis sued A-Rod for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy. These allegations stemmed from a real estate company the two founded together back in 2003.
A-Rod fired back through his attorney, Alan Kluger. Kluger allegedly told Constantine Scurtis' attorney, Joel Denaro, that he was in possession of documents that outlined exactly what Cynthia Scurtis had to say about J-Lo, and none of it was complimentary.
A-Rod alleges that his ex-wife is "bitter" about their divorce, and she probably didn't like the fact that the happy couple are, allegedly, either getting married or already married.

— Jennifer Lopez (@JLo) July 5, 2018
In a different report for Radar Online, it was alleged that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are getting serious, and possibly walking down the aisle.
The speculation came as a result of a set of pictures that the couple shared, which featured Jennifer wearing a ring on "that" finger.
HAPPY FOURTH EVERYONE!
enjoy the sun, fun, and family
????????????♥✌???? pic.twitter.com/BnzaXb0gom
The duo were hanging out in Los Angeles with their children — A-Rod's two daughters, whom he shares with Cynthia Scurtis, and Jennifer's twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with her third ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
The two stars have frequently spoken in extensive detail about their "blended family," and marveled about the fact that their children all seem to get along with one another.
But because Jennifer has been spotted out and about wearing a series of diamonds, fans and friends and the press have all speculated that the couple is either engaged or married.
For her part, Jennifer Lopez has been dropping hints about wanting to marry A-Rod from the day their fiery romance began late last year, and even went so far as to record a song — "El Anillo" (The Ring) — to drop a hint to her beau!

The interpretation Board at Carsethorn.
Carsethorn is in the Nith Estuary Conservation Area
Carsethorn is part of the Nith Estuary National Scenic Area, so it is fitting that new interpretation boards have been installed which tell the story of Carsethorn village, its people, the sea and the local walks which can be enjoyed by visitors to the area.
A start on this project was made seven years ago when a method of recording the families who had emigrated from Carsethorn during the lowland clearances was produced.
An oak log, shaped like the hull of a ship, was placed near the foreshore with the family names and numbers marked with copper nails and an information board was erected for public information.
This was followed two years later with the tidying up of the square, hedge and shrub planting, re-seeding, the screening of the recycling bins, resurfacing and the replacing of the corrugated iron bus shelter.
The fixing of the interpretation boards in the new bus shelter which is made of larch and doubles as an information point and bird hide with views to the sea for bird watchers, represents the final phase of the renovation of the square where buses to the village turn.
Above the information centre is a wind vane with a scaup (the most common sea bird locally) on top with indicators to Liverpool where most of the emigrants made their first port of call en route to Australia and other destinations including distances to places like Newfoundland where other brave soles left Carsethorn, sailing non-stop.
The other leg of the weather vane indicates the direction to the top of Criffel, 1,800ft tall, which provides the backdrop to the parish landscape.
"The interpretation panels tell the story of Carsethorn village and it's people, the sea and fishing life and the local walks to be enjoyed by all," says Kirkbean Heritage Society Chairman, John McMyn.
"Local bird life is pictured on the fourth panel.
"Carsethorn is in the Nith Estuary National Scenic Area and this is all part of telling the world what a wonderful place we live in."

Over the last 18 months, the UK has seen a number of significant changes in the area of international cooperation in financial crime matters, most notably through the widening of unexplained wealth order (UWO) and account freezing order (AFO) regimes, through an amendment made to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and the introduction of so-called Overseas Production Orders (OPO) and European Investigation Orders (EIO).
These measures, outlined below, are still in their infancy; however their implementation raises important questions about the future of international enforcement cooperation and in particular, the use of mutual legal assistance (MLA) mechanisms in order to tackle global financial crime with a UK nexus.
SI 2018/1078
In November 2018, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Investigations and External Orders and Requests) (Amendment) Order 2018 (SI 2018/1078) entered into force. This Statutory Instrument provides foreign enforcement bodies with the power to issue an MLA request for both UWOs and AFOs, in respect of UK-based assets for the first time.
SI 2018/1078 implements a significant power, effectively providing foreign enforcement bodies with the ability to request that UK courts make an order for a UWO or AFO in relation to UK-based assets, regardless of whether the UK police or the National Crime Agency (NCA) suspect any wrongdoing. Prior to the enactment of the Act, there was no freestanding mechanism for foreign enforcement agencies to make such requests.
UWOs
The power of UK authorities to seek UWOs and AFOs entered into force in January 2018 via the Criminal Finances Act 2017. UWOs operate as a type of investigative tool, essentially creating a reverse burden on respondents to demonstrate the legitimacy of 'suspect' income used to acquire certain property.
UWOs can be sought by the NCA, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). In general terms, any one of these agencies can require respondents to provide information relating to the provenance of funds used to acquire property valued over £50,000, whether located in the UK or elsewhere.
UWOs may be sought in circumstances where there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the known sources of the respondent's lawfully obtained income would have been insufficient to enable the respondent to acquire the relevant property. The respondent should either be a politically exposed person (PEP) or someone involved in, or connected to, a person involved in serious crime, in the UK or abroad. Notably, where the recipient is a PEP, there is no need for there to be evidence of any criminality as a basis for seeking the order.
In order to allow the UK authorities to investigate suspected criminal conduct, UWOs have always operated with a strong international reach: the subject of a UWO does not need to be a UK resident, and it is open to the UK authorities to seek assistance from a foreign enforcement agency to enforce a UWO and/or a connected interim freezing order (which can accompany a UWO to prevent the respondent from dissipating the asset in question).
However, the intrusive nature of a UWO has the potential for significant impact on the target of a UWO and their business, and can lead to potentially disastrous consequences, for example from resulting reputational issues.
The NCA is known only to have deployed the power once having targeted Zamira Hajiyeva, who was involved in a number of high-value transactions, including the purchase of a five-bedroom property in Knightsbridge, valued at £11.5m. Ms Hajiyeva is the wife of the former chairman of the International Bank of Azerbaijan, Jahangir Hajiyev, who is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence in Azerbaijan for alleged fraud and embezzlement offences.
Ms Hajiyeva is currently appealing the decision of the High Court to uphold the UWO made in her case, an appeal which has prompted discussion about the force of UWOs, and possible areas where UWOs could, in the future, be challenged. These concerns remain in the context of UWOs issued pursuant to the streamlined, international mechanism made available under SI 2018/1078.
Moreover, SI 2018/1078 only requires foreign enforcement authorities to send a summarised and untested account of evidence arising in any given case. This is likely to prove problematic where the requesting foreign agency is in a state that does not observe the rule of law, creating a real risk that the system may be open to abuse.
Given the ever-increasing use of the UK criminal justice system by foreign states to pursue high net worth individuals and successful companies in lucrative industries on financial crime charges which are politically motivated, or subject to improper influence, a heightened level of caution will need to be applied to requests for cooperation made by these states in any future cases.
A reason behind the UK authorities' lack of use of UWOs so far would appear to stem from the difficulty in identifying suitable targets. Lisa Osofsky, director of the SFO, in an interview published in April 2019, indicated that the SFO had tried and failed to identify possible targets to date. The fear is that overseas enforcement agencies might not show the same level of caution.
SI 2018/1078 also allows foreign enforcement agencies to apply for an AFO on request. AFOs, like UWOs, are a powerful tool in any law enforcement agency's armoury, allowing for funds as little as £1000 held in a bank or building society to be frozen, in circumstances where there are 'reasonable grounds' for suspecting that money belonging to the target of an AFO was obtained through, or intended for use in, unlawful conduct.
In February 2019, the NCA successfully secured an AFO over bank accounts held by 22-year old student Vlad Luca Filat, the son of the disgraced former prime minister of Moldova, Vladimir Filat, who, in 2016, was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment for his alleged involvement in a $1bn bank fraud.
Suspicions were raised after Vlad Luca paid £390,000 in rent for an apartment in Knightsbridge, despite having no registered income in the UK. HSBC records showed that Vlad Luca's accounts and living expenses were funded by deposits made from overseas companies, including entities located in Turkey and the Cayman Islands.
When compared to UWOs, the relative breadth of AFOs is likely to be particularly attractive to foreign enforcement bodies, since AFOs can be deployed against any banking customer, not just PEPs or those suspected of involvement in criminal conduct. This leaves the horizon for future international cooperation in the area, and the MLA regime which underpins such requests, wide open.
In February 2019, the Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Act 2019 (the 2019 Act) received Royal Assent. The 2019 Act grants officers, including the SFO, HMRC and FCA, the power to require a 'person' (usually a communications service provider (CSP)), based overseas to produce or give access to 'electronic data', regardless of where it is stored (so-called OPOs).
For an OPO to be granted, a Crown Court judge must be satisfied that the 'electronic data', which is defined widely to mean 'any data stored electronically', is likely to be of substantial value to criminal proceedings or investigations for which the OPO is sought, and that granting such an order is in the public interest. OPOs are still not fully operational, requiring additional implementation of so-called 'designated international co-operation agreements' (DICAs) (essentially freestanding cooperation treaties between the UK and other countries) before entering force.
The primary driver for the introduction of OPOs has been the US. In March 2018, the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (CLOUD Act) came into force. This allows US law enforcement agencies, under certain circumstances, to require entities subject to the US jurisdiction to produce their data stored in foreign countries.
The CLOUD Act also provides for certain reciprocity of obligations, creating a framework through which foreign enforcement agencies' countries, including those in the UK, can seek disclosure of data held by a US CSP. It is therefore unsurprising that the UK is currently negotiating its first DICA – and thus fully operational OPO regime – with the US, where the world's largest CSPs are located. When introduced, the US-UK OPO system will provide a powerful mechanism through which the US and UK can bypass conventional MLA channels.
EIOs
Finally, in recent months, we have seen continued uncertainty surrounding the future of European Investigation Orders (EIOs). EIOs, a type of MLA mechanism, which entered into force in the UK in July 2017, are derived from Directive 2014/41 of the European Parliament and Council, and are aimed at harmonising and simplifying all existing MLA measures between EU Member States and simplifying the process of requesting another state's assistance in obtaining evidence in criminal investigations.
EIOs offer far-reaching MLA powers, for example allowing UK authorities to request evidence from overseas counterparts in respect of evidence; to facilitate the implementation of various investigative measures, including requests for information from suspects and witnesses; information relating to bank accounts; and requests for the initiation of covert investigations.
However, Brexit, and more specifically, uncertainty over the status of Title V of the November 2018 Withdrawal of the UK Agreement, entitled 'Ongoing Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters', which sought to preserve the EIO regime until the end of 2020, means that the future status of the EIO is currently uncertain.
2018-19 has seen the introduction of a number of measures aimed at strengthening and streamlining cooperation between international financial crime enforcement agencies. Given the firmly international nature of financial crime activity and the flow of the proceeds of crime around the world, these measures are encouraging and carry force. However, careful thought must be given by the UK authorities to ensure that the integrity of the MLA regime is not undermined by their overhasty implementation.
