Chant West study reveals dollar-disclosure disarray
Staff WriterNovember 8, 2005 - 12.00am
Super funds and master trusts need to improve their fee disclosures, according to consultancy Chant West, following a study of 70 funds' PDSs since the introduction of the new ASIC dollar-disclosure regulations from July.
There is still a lack of consistency between funds in their fee disclosures, due to different interpretations of the regulations, and there are some funds which are failing to make certain disclosures, the study shows. Chant West says: While the new rules are clearly a step in the right direction, there remain some areas of concern. Chief among these are: * the tax treatment of administration costs; * disclosure of 'layered' investment fees; and * the use of estimates in the management costs template, particularly of performance fees and indirect costs. The regulations require that fees be calculated before administration costs, which are tax deductible. Whether or not the tax savings are passed onto the investor also needs to be disclosed. But the study discovered that some life offices are continuing to disclose fees net of administration, accompanied by an ambiguous comment on tax deductions, often in a totally separate section of the PDS. Similarly, some industry funds are failing to disclose that they are retaining the benefit of the tax deduction on admin costs and insurance costs as well, in some cases. With increasing use of alternatives, which often have performance fees, funds have multi layers of investment fees and these are not always being disclosed or disclosed adequately. Chant West says: "This is not a question of interpretation, but rather a failure to disclose to prospective members a substantial element of costs. The problem applies more to industry funds than to master trusts, only because the former have been more active in these alternative assets. Again, however, there are some notable exceptions of funds that do invest in alternative assets and yet manage to disclose all costs clearly." The disclosure of management fees also has room for improvement. Where it is not possible to be precise about future fees, the regulations allow for an estimated range of fees to be included. "Our concern here is that funds are not doing enough to provide prospective members with a realistic idea of what costs they are likely to incur," Chant West says. "In too many cases, all they are doing is quoting last year's actual costs and stating that they are not to be taken as an estimate of future costs. While this approach parallels that applying to investment returns, it is not what the regulations demand." Notwithstanding its concerns in some areas, Chant West believes that the regulations have prompted an improvement in disclosures in PDSs. "Generally we found that fee disclosure has become more consistent. In particular, the standard fee template and worked example provide greater certainty that apples are being compared with apples. So to that extent consumers are being better served," the consultancy says.

Q: GPAC "cannot create config file" I'm trying to play a file using GPAC using the command MP4Client /path/to/file.mkv and I get these errors:
GPAC config file .gpacrc not found in /home/sth - creating new file
[Core] default modules not found
Cannot create config file .gpacrc in /home/sth directory
Error: Configuration File not found

I tried running it with sudo but still no luck. Anyone knows a solution?

A: I did have the same problem in the past and it was caused by installing GPAC with:
sudo apt-get install gpac

I fixed it then by installing GPAC debian package from GPAC Nightly Builds site.

Q: Not understanding some (basic) Matlab commands to plot  plot([0 u(1,1)], [0 u(2,1)]);
 plot([0 u(1,2)], [0 u(2,2)]);

These commands do what I want. However, why are the zeros in front.
The effect of these commands is the second plot on the page:

A: The 0s are used to denote plotting boundaries; since Matlab need to have starting and ending values for both x and y.
For instance, in this statement:
plot([0 u(1,1)], [0 u(2,1)]);

the 2 terms in the first square brackets represent the range of x-values to plot, i.e. from 0 to u(1,1), while those in the 2nd square bracket represent the y-values. It basically plots a line going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2), with x1 and y1 being (0,0), x2 being u(1,1) and y2 being u(2,1).
From the code you were given, u looks like this: (I'm not showing you the whole solution since this is homework :)
u =

   -0.7055   -0.7087
   -0.7087    0.7055

Therefore, the line corresponding to the line above will have x-values form 0 to u(1,1) = -0.7055 and y-values going from 0 to u(2,1) = -0.7087. The same applies for the 2nd call to plot.
Here is a figure obtained with the data; I plotted both curves with different colors so you can see the difference: (I used @knedlsepp's suggestion to use axis equal to see that both lines are orthogonal.

Hope that helps get you started. Good luck!


And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
So God created man in his own image,in the image of God he created him;male and female he created them.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.


Resting in 2,600 feet of water off California's Farallon Islands is a ghostly reminder of the Bay Area's nuclear heritage. The USS Independence has been found, and now we have clear images of the radioactivity-polluted World War II aircraft carrier.
The carrier is "amazingly intact," said NOAA scientists working with the U.S. Navy and private industry partners. The USS Independence was a light aircraft carrier, and was the lead ship of its class; the USS Independence played a vital role in the Pacific during World War II.
From November 1943 through to August 1945, the Independence (CVL 22) had operated in the central and western Pacific. Then in 1946, it was one of more than 90 vessels that were assembled for testing the atomic bomb in the Bikini Atoll. Scientists at the time were testing how radiation, heat, and shockwaves impacted on the ships. Like other Operation Crossroads ships, the Independence survived the tests and was sent back to the U.S.
Features on a historic photo of the USS Independence CVL 22 are captured in a 3-dimensional (3D) low-resolution sonar image of the shipwreck in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The Coda Octopus Echoscope 3D sonar, integrated on the Boeing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Echo Ranger, imaged the shipwreck during the first maritime archaeological survey. The sonar image with oranges color tones (lower) shows an outline of a possible airplane in the forward aircraft elevator hatch opening.
Once moored at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, the Navy used the Independence as part of its studies on decontamination. On Jan. 26, 1951, the Navy towed the blast-damaged carrier with an unknown amount of barrels containing radioactive waste to sea, where it was scuttled with two torpedo's.
The Independence is the deepest known shipwreck in the sanctuary, and is only one of an estimated 300 wrecks.
It was found during an ongoing 2-year study to locate, map, and study historic shipwrecks in the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, as well as nearby waters.
The Boeing Company provided an 18.5-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), Echo Ranger, through a cooperative research and development agreement with NOAA. Boeing partnered with Coda Octopus technology company, which integrated its 3D-imaging sonar system, Echoscope, into the AUV.
The shipwreck site of the former aircraft carrier Independence is located in the northern region of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Half Moon Bay, California, was the port of operations for the Independence survey mission. The first multibeam sonar survey of the Independence site was conducted by the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer in 2009.
Scientists and technicians followed the AUV while it successfully surveyed the nearly intact hull 150 feet above the wreck. It was determined that the Independence was upright and slightly listing to starboard. It had large holes leading to the hangar decks that once housed the carrier's aircraft, and much of its flight deck was still intact.
With the federal government having dumped nearly 48,000 barrels of low-level radioactive waste between 1946 and 1970, some still question the safety of the Farallon Islands Radioactive Waste Dump.
James Delgado, the chief scientist of the Independence mission for NOAA, said he doesn't know how many drums of radioactive material are buried within the ship, perhaps a few hundred. But he is doubtful that they pose any health or environmental risk. The barrels were filled with concrete and sealed in the ship's engine and boiler rooms, which were protected by thick walls of steel, reported the San Jose Mercury News.
The dumping of radioactive waste into the sea is just another example of the stupidity of governments. Over time, we will all find out just how stupid it was.

There are many times and events in an infant's life that are exciting for both the baby and the parents when the child laughs for the first time or says his or her first word. It can really be a momentous occasion that everyone remembers for their rest of their lives.
Even the ones that don't seem that pleasant can have great significance as well. The first time that your infant can relieve him or herself is a major step to you knowing that your baby is fine. The first time the baby screams lets you know they are breathing ok, even if the child likes to remind you of that fact at 2 o'clock in the morning.
These are great events that every parent remembers. There are some, however, that may be important but are not very much fun for anyone. Teething is such an example.
Teething is the time when your infant's teeth first start to develop in the gum line of the mouth. The teeth, known as the primary teeth, will begin to show through the gum line, and will be visible when the child's mouth is open.
This is a very important step in the development of your infant, but is not a pleasant one for the child. If you think about how you feel when one of your teeth hurt, just imagine what it is like for an infant that has never experienced anything like this before. It can also be much more difficult when there is more than one tooth that is appearing. This can incredibly painful for the little tyke.
You should be aware that the lower front teeth are the ones that usually come in first. Despite the fact that comics usually portray this the other way, it is the lower teeth that will be seen coming out of the gum in most cases.
When Can I Expect My Infant to Start Teething?
If you are wondering when do babies start teething, you should know that it is not very long after they are born. The bottom teeth should start appearing in the front of the mouth about a month or two after he or she is born. They will usually be quite small at first, and may not even be visible to you right away, but you will know by the symptoms your child shows.
Many parents wonder to themselves that if they cannot see the teeth at all, then how are they know that their child is teething. That is a good question. The truth is that your child will show a host of symptoms that will let you know the process of his or her teeth coming in has begun.
You should know that the symptoms of teething may begin at least five days before the teeth start to show. This lets you know what is going on with your baby, as long as you know what the symptoms are.
The first thing to watch for is unusual fussiness. Now, all babies are fussy, but this is out of the ordinary. This is a time that the baby is much more irritable than you have seen to that point. This is one of the earliest signs of teething.
What you will find is that the gums will be very sore for the infant, so they will try to do things that help to relieve that pain. One of the most common things that is seen is to bite on virtually anything they can, including toys and your fingers. The pressure actually helps to make them feel better, and if you find that your child is doing a lot more biting all of a sudden, they may teething.
Drooling is another thing that commonly occurs. This feels better on their gums, and so a lot of saliva is produced during this time. For some babies, the drool will cause a rash on their chins, face and chest. Remember that drooling is common for babies, but it is the excessive amount that tells you that you may have an infant who is teething.
What Can I Do for My Baby During Teething?
There are some simple things that can be done to help your infant feel better. They really don't take a whole lot of effort on your part, but make a whole lot of difference in the comfort level for your child.
One of the easiest things to do is to rub the gums. Wash your hands, and then take one finger and gently rub the gum line for about two minutes. The baby may resist at first because the area is sensitive, but after about 10 or 15 seconds it will feel better and they will want you to continue. Do not do much longer than two minutes at any time. Excessive rubbing can irritate the skin.
You can also allow your baby to chew on objects like pacifiers. Make sure that they are safe to have in the mouth. There are many teething rings that you can buy. These can be placed into the refrigerator or freezer, which will only make the baby feel better. A cold object to use as a chewing toy is preferable, primarily because of the soothing effects that it will provide.
You can also give small doses of over-the-counter pain medicines that are made for infants. These can really help to relieve the pain and make the child a lot more comfortable. If you do not know which one to use, then consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Teething is one of those important steps in the life of your infant, but it can be a tough one for sure. By being aware what to look for and how to help your baby during this time, you can make this a whole lot less painful. This can make the teething time in your infant's life a lot more enjoyable, which will make your life more enjoyable as well.


The Cedar Hill Fire Department would like to make the public aware of the dangers associated with the use of Turkey Fryers. The Turkey Fryer has become an extremely popular cooking device to prepare holiday meals. We would like everyone to be aware of the inherent dangers associated with these types of cooking appliances. Please review the safety tips to assure your holiday season is joyful.
Every holiday season, burn centers in the United States admit and treat people burned while deep frying turkeys. In some cases, the burn victims are children who run into the fryers while playing nearby.
Gallons of oil heated in excess of 350 degrees Fahrenheit can quickly ignite if something goes wrong, and house, decks and garages can ignite.
Some units do not have automatic thermostat controls to regulate the temperature of the oil, so oil may heat to 350+ degrees and to the point of boiling over and can catch fire.
Splattering oil can occur when a frozen turkey is added to five gallons of boiling oil.
The sides, lids, and handles can get extremely hot and may cause burns.
The units can tip over, spilling hot, scalding oil onto anyone or anything nearby.
When the turkey is placed in the hot oil, oil may spill onto the burner, creating a fire.
Be careful to not overfill your turkey fryer with oil. If overfilled, turkey fryer oil may spill over, engulfing the entire unit and possibly injuring bystanders.
Even after you are finished cooking, do not let pets or children near the unit. The oil in the container remains extremely hot for hours after cooking.
Make sure an all-purpose extinguisher is handy at all times. Never use water to put out a grease fire. Use common sense when fighting a fire. If it is within reason, use the extinguisher to put it out. If the fire is unmanageable, dial 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.
Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful of marinades before placing it in the pot. Excess water in partially frozen turkeys will cause the pot to overflow, resulting in a fire hazard. The National Turkey Federation recommends 24 hours of thawing for every 5 lbs of bird before cooking in a turkey fryer.
Most turkey fryers do not come with a thermostat, and if left unattended the unit may overheat the oil, resulting in combustion.
Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or inside garages.
Remember the most important safety tip of all: Never leave a turkey fryer unattended.
The sides of the cooking pot, lid and handles become very hot, posing a severe burn threat. Before touching the pot, cover your hands with oven mitts or use well-insulated potholders. Whenever possible, use protective eye wear.
To reduce the risk of tipping, always place your turkey fryer on a flat surface.
Turkey fryers should always be placed outside, a safe distance away from buildings and other combustible materials.


Excellent organizational, communication (written and oral), and interpersonal skills in German und good skills in English.
People with disabilities are particularly encouraged to apply. We assure to treat your application confidentially and to respect restriction notices.

USA Women's National Team Pulls Away From Australia For 104-89 Victory In Final Exhibition Game
By Rich Elliott
Diana Taurasi scored 15 of her team high 20 points in the 3rd qtr, including three 3-pointers.
NEW YORK (July 31, 2016) – The USA Basketball Women's National Team did not win a medal of any kind Sunday. It simply was the final exhibition game during its preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Still, as three-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi looked across the court during the playing of the national anthem, her competitive juices began to churn. She saw Australian stars Liz Cambage, Leilani Mitchell and Penny Taylor lined up on the other side.
It was no longer just an exhibition game. It was a match-up of the top two teams in world. And Taurasi and the U.S. shined as five players reached double figures in scoring in a 104-89 victory before 13,520 at Madison Square Garden.
"These are some of the best players in the world," said Taurasi, who totaled 20 points, three rebounds and three assists. "There's some competitiveness there that both countries feel, and it's good because it makes you play better. I think we learned a lot about ourselves. And this team is still growing. We'll take some confidence out of this. We'll take some good things and some bad things."
The U.S. defeated Australia, Canada and France by an average of 25.7 points during its East Coast tour. It also opened its exhibition schedule with an 88-84 win over the USA Team Select Team on July 25 in Los Angeles.
The U.S. will practice in Houston Tuesday before heading to Rio later that day. It is chasing a sixth-straight gold medal.
"I believe the team is capable of winning a gold medal," U.S center Tina Charles said. "I feel we're capable of winning the sixth with the depth that we have on this team, the talent that we have on this team, the coaching staff alone, just them forcing us to be in tune with the process of winning for us and what that's going to take to get that gold medal. That's what I believe we can do."
Former U.S. Olympians Teresa Edwards, Lisa Leslie, Gail Marquis, Juliene Simpson and Dawn Staley, who currently is a USA assistant coach, were honored during a halftime ceremony Sunday. The current team rushed to join them at midcourt following the ceremony.
Elena Delle Donne added 19 points, five rebounds and two blocks for the U.S. Brittney Griner finished with 15 points, four rebounds and two assists. Maya Moore had 13 points, six rebounds, a game-high six assists and two steals.
Angel McCoughtry contributed 12 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Elena Della Donne played well at both ends of the floor. Dropping in 19 points pulling down five rebounds and two blocks.
The U.S., which had 13 fastbreak points, committed just five turnovers over the final 35:37.
"Obviously, we played a great team," U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. "They're as good as everybody thinks they are, and they've got some terrific players and they are really, really hard to play against. It was a real test for us that we really needed at this particular time. You try to tell everybody that winning a gold medal is not easy. You can see why, but I thought our guys were great.
"Throughout the game I thought we were great. I think we responded to everything. We just did a lot of good things. And there's things we've got to get better at, no question. And we've got to get way better defensively in a couple areas, and we will. But we've got lot of pieces to work with, and I was just really, really happy with this group (Sunday)."
The U.S. has faced Australia in the gold medal game of the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. The likelihood is strong that the teams will meet again in a couple of weeks.
Australia used an 8-0 run to open a 17-11 lead with 5:25 left in the first quarter. The U.S. was 4-of-10 shooting from the field and had three turnovers.
But keyed by Delle Donne and McCoughtry, the U.S. found its rhythm. Delle Donne scored six-straight points and had 15 points (5-of-5 FGs) in a span of 6:12. The explosion was part of 30-8 run. McCoughtry scored all of her 12 points (4-of-5 FGs) in 4:53 during the run.
"I think the biggest thing about our team is our depth," Delle Donne said. "So, we can wear teams out with the depth that we have. So, when we come in we really have to come in and pedal to the metal, play the best we can and then give people a rest and let them come in and do the same."
The U.S. led 54-48 at halftime. Taurasi, who was 1-of-4 shooting in the first half, came out aggressively to open the third quarter. She made three 3-pointers and scored 15 points in the first 5:15.
Taurasi's third 3 of the quarter staked the U.S. to a 77-58 lead. The margin never dipped below 12 the rest of the way.
"Maybe because I've been around her a long time – four years in college and then through these last eight years with the Olympic Team – I've always been of the opinion that as long as we have Diana Taurasi on the court playing with our team that we have a chance to win every single game that we play," Auriemma said. "The problem is Diana is sometimes so unselfish and such a great teammate that she doesn't impose herself on the game. She'll pass up open shots because she's thinks Tina's open. She'll pass up an open shot because she wants go get somebody to touch the ball, get them into the flow and some confidence. So she kind of sets the tone for our team. When Diana's playing a real high level, it's really fun to watch."
Cambage had 22 points and eight rebounds to lead Australia. Mitchell added 18 points, three assists and two steals, while Taylor had nine points and a game-high eight rebounds.
Australia's center Liz Cambage has a game-high 22 points to go along with eight rebounds.
Behind 13 points and four assists from Miah-Marie Langlois, Canada defeated France 71-63 in the opening game of the doubleheader.
"It's a fun group," Moore said. "I think one of the things coach celebrated about what we we're doing is how we let ourselves be coached by each other. And when you have a team like that you really can't be stopped because no one's going to take it personal, no one's going to shut down because of their feelings being hurt. We're just going to take it and move on to the next play. So that's one of the things that I appreciate about this team. It makes it fun and everybody can share in everybody else's success."

In With the Good by miszxbrii
Anime » Bleach Rated: T, English, Romance & Family, Grimmjow J., Ichigo K., Words: 10k+, Favs: 67, Follows: 80, Published: 4/1/2011 Updated: 2/7/2012}
Slow updates for everything, but still updates. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. This story won't last much longer, probably a 3-4 more chapters.
Grimmjow laughed as he leaned back against the leather couch. He watched the three girls standing at the microphone trying to follow the lyrics of the song playing on the loud speakers. He hadn't been on a gōkon since he was in high school and everything felt so refreshing. His friends, the laughs and drinks, it was how he should be living. He was still young and life wasn't about settling down at a time like that. Grimmjow knew he couldn't push his responsibilities to the side, but that didn't mean he had to be miserable about life. Ichigo didn't want him, so why should he waste his time on the woman?
Sipping on a beer, he gazed across the small table to see a young woman gazing at him. Her long, flowing green hair framed her face perfectly and her deep, hazel eyes were enchanting. She was beautiful and if she was looking his way that meant he might get lucky tonight. Smirking at her, he watched her blush and he could tell she was somewhat shy. He wasn't one who liked timid women, but it just might be an act. Pushing himself off of the couch, he made his way over to her and sat down. Introductions were a piece of cake and he started to find out just how much they had in common. Grimmjow wasn't looking for anything long-term, but that didn't mean he couldn't try. It would be hard to get over the love he had for Ichigo, but it was something that needed to be done. She was no longer waiting for him, willing to be with him and he wouldn't wait around for her to realize what she was missing.
So that night he enjoyed his youthful life. He enjoyed the upbeat music and horrid singing. He savored the alcohol sliding down his throat and intoxicating his brain. Tonight was for fun and it would repeat until he could lose his mind in such acts, until he could forget about anything. Until he could forget about her all over again.
Six Months Later - Spring
Grimmjow groaned at the sound of the quiet humming that had become so familiar. Slowly slitting his eyes open, he could make out the overly bright bedroom, the small girly knick-knacks sprinkled across the small place. He instantly recognized the area that he had been venturing to more than his own home. Turning over, he sighed, glad that the light was no longer shining in his face. His eyes slowly drifted close and he tried to disappear back into dreamland.
"Grimm! Time to get up!" He groaned, turning his face into the pillow and pulling the covers completely over his head. He heard soft footsteps and peeked out from under the blankets to see his girlfriend standing at the edge, dainty hands on her hips. "Come on!" she sing-sang. "I made you breakfast."
Grimmjow just groaned again, hiding himself deeper into them. "Neliel…it's six in the morning…on a Saturday. I don't have work, let me sleep." He heard her huff and before he knew it, the blankets were pulled from his body.
"You promised we would go to the theme park today. So get up before I get you up myself." Turning on her heel, she made her way out of the room, leaving Grimmjow half sleep and uncovered.
"Can't even get a decent sleep in," he mumbled before sighing and slowly pushing himself up. It had been a little over six months since he started dating Neliel after what was supposed to be a one-night stand. Even though they had hit it off at the gōkon, Grimmjow hadn't been ready for a serious relationship, but Nel had been persistent. He took a chance and they have lasted for a little over half a year, but Grimmjow knew what he was really feeling. He was trying to keep himself from looking for Ichigo. He dreamed about her every night, about spending time with his daughter and he knew any relationship he had wouldn't last. His heart belonged to two women, one each having a piece and there was nothing left for anyone else.
Ignoring the feelings was the only thing he could do to continue on, but it hurt just trying to do that. Life was lonesome even if he did sleep next to someone at night. It was bothersome even though Nel gave him his space every now and again. It just wasn't what he wanted and he knew that if he wanted Ichigo back he should fight, but he just didn't have it in him to break up what she had already found. He did worry about Amami and how she was taking all of this. He missed his daughter now that she had been in his life and he wished he could get the courage to take that step.
Pushing himself out of the bed, he made his way towards the bathroom. He guessed if he was up, he might as well get ready. Clean and dressed, Grimmjow made his way into the kitchen where his Nel was sitting. Joining her, he started to gorge himself on the breakfast made by his girlfriend's hands. Neliel was an amazing woman, a bit older than he was, but she would never seem that way. She had a fiery and young personality; different from the shy facade she had put on the night he met her. Her body was amazing and she was considered the wife type, good in just about anything. His friends would think he was crazy not to fall for such a woman, but it just wasn't in him.
She didn't have burning orange hair, expressive mocha brown eyes and peachy skin. She wasn't the mother of his child and she felt nothing like Ichigo. It still drove him crazy that he was so infatuated with a woman he had only slept with once. Pussy whipped as Nnoitra would say. It wasn't his fault that he was in love with Ichigo. He would enjoy help getting over her, but he knew it would be hard to do such a thing, almost impossible.
Sighing, he bit into the piece of toast in his hand and leaned back, gazing at the large hazel eyes. He should really stop thinking about Ichigo. Today was his day to spend with his girlfriend and it would be rude to do otherwise. He needed to focus on her before he let his heart break down and he ended up running back to the angel with long apricot hair.
"Hmmm! What should we get on next?" Grimmjow was beyond tired. After the numerous rides, games, snacks and more rides, he was ready to go home. His arms were filled with arrangements of stuffed animals and souvenirs and he wondered what else he could possibly carry. He wasn't used to doing things like this. Though he had been in relationships before, he never put any effort into them. It was just something to pass the time and though he thought this was the same, for some reason he was trying harder to actually care about Neliel. No matter how he felt, he would push it aside and pretend to be happy. He didn't want to hurt the woman's feelings because she seemed to genuinely like him.
"How about we relax for a while? My feet are killing me," he said, trying his hardest not to sound annoyed.
Hazel green eyes looked up, shimmering with happiness and she grabbed Grimmjow by his shirt, pulling him towards one of the small cafes. She guessed he deserved to relax. She had been dragging him around for hours and he had been so sweet about it. Making it closer to a small restaurant, she slinked her way through the group of outdoor tables and sat Grimmjow down at one of them. She would treat him to something good, just for being the perfect man of the day.
"Stay there, I'll be back." All Grimmjow did was nod, watching his girlfriend disappear into the restaurant. Leaning back, he dropped the numerous bags of goodies on the concrete ground and ran a hand through his hair. It was hard. It was hard watching the children run around with their parents. It was hard seeing how happy they looked or how happy the parents were to be near their own flesh and blood.
He missed those large, blue eyes that had gazed up at him with admiration and that long, flowing aqua blue hair that was silky soft. Amami gave him something to be proud of and even if Ichigo didn't want him any more, he should at least want Amami. The giggling surrounding him and drumming through his ears made him want to see her so much more. Six months. It had been six months since he seen her or Ichigo and it was starting to get to him.
"Shit," he mumbled.
"What's wrong, Grimm?" Looking up, Grimmjow gazed directly into large brown-green eyes that glittered with happiness. Neliel was oblivious to how he was feeling. She was oblivious to the past he was trying to hide. The woman knew nothing of his daughter, nothing of what happened to him in high school and he was thinking of telling her. He wanted to end this, wanted to end this charade that he had built up. He wanted to take all the time he was giving to Neliel and give it all to Ichigo, all to Amami.
Smiling up at her, he reached for her and pulled her down onto his lap. She squeaked with excitement, but it didn't take her long to recover and cuddle close to Grimmjow. "Nothing's wrong. …Everything is perfect."
Ichigo could feel the sweating chest against her back, the curve of her behind was flush against the man's pelvis behind her. It felt good to be held, to be comforted by a man that loved her. Shiro had been the perfect lover, the perfect father for Amami and life was going how it should. The pale man's hands slid up her Ichigo's cooling stomach, smearing sweat under his fingertips. The oranget's breath was coming out in pants and her heart thumped loudly in her chest.
"Yer so sexy when we make love." All Ichigo did was groan, tired from the onslaught of penetration and rigorous activity. It always exhausted her when she and Shiro had sex. After work and taking care of Amami sex seemed to be able to relax her as much as lounging on the couch and reading a book. The feeling of her body muscles tensing and loosening made it easy for her to rest without a care.
Turning over, she gazed up into Shiro's eyes, memorized by the golden pupils that glowed in the dark. The tired, haunting eyes were something she had been used to ever since the man came into her life and she was starting to realize that this was getting close to an forever kind of relationship. There was love and normality now in her life, not to mention a father for Ami. That had been the only thing that Ichigo ever cared about. She didn't care about happiness for herself or to live happily ever after with a man she loved (though it was always a bonus). All the orangette cared about was having that father figure for her child, having two parents in the little girl's life.
Or maybe…maybe she was looking for a little piece of happiness to call her own. Maybe she wanted something to come home to, someone to smother her with undying love. Rolling over on top of Shiro, she smiled down at him, watching as he smirked up as a response.
"How about another round?" she mumbled before pressing her lips against his. Before Shiro could get a dirty word in a loud muffled crying sound slammed against Ichigo's closed bedroom room. Mahogany eyes widened and all signs of lust had completely disappeared. She pulled herself off of Shiro and rushing out of the room, bathrobe in hand. "Amami! I'm coming, baby!"
It didn't take long for Ichigo to get to her daughter's room and she found Ami seating upright in her bed, tears streaming down her pretty, little face. The normal tiny voice was strong, the wails loud enough to shake Ichigo's body. The little girl wouldn't stop screaming and Ichigo had never seen her daughter in such a way. Amami hardly cried unless something worried her and something had obviously wasn't going right.
Amami's short arms reached out for her mother and Ichigo reached out to pick the child up and hold her tight, rocking back and forth to soothe her daughter. She knew Amami wouldn't be able to get out a word until she was calmed down. The small body shook and the sobbing was starting to make Ichigo even more worried.
"Ami, what's wrong?" The wailing was the only response Ichigo was receiving. The small hands pulled at the orangette's robe collar and Ichigo was at a loss of what to do. "Okay, okay I'm not going anywhere."
Ichigo didn't know how long had passed, but she found herself back in her own bedroom where Shiro was completely awoke and sitting against the headboard.
"What happened?" Shiro questioned. Shrugging, Ichigo slid under her covers placing Amami down next to her.
"She must have had a nightmare. I'll just let her sleep here tonight." It was late and Ichigo hoped that Amami would be able to sleep the rest of the night. Reaching over, she turned off the light and pulled the covers over her, feeling Shiro's arms wrap around her waist.
Ichigo gazed down to see Amami's face covered in dried tears, but the child's face was void of any expression. It was a good sign and hopefully they all would be able to get a good night's sleep.
Before Ichigo drifted off to sleep she could hear her daughter mumbling quietly next to her and a soft whisper of a name made her wonder just what Amami had dreamed about.
Grimmy.

Customers and partners of the currency-exchange giant Travelex suffered serious disruption on New Year's Eve due to a ransomware attack against the firm's systems. The ransomware, deployed by a group calling itself Sodinokibi, included a note demanding a seven-figure ransom in return for a key to recover the data encrypted by the ransomware. It is believed that the Sodinokibi group is a sophisticated criminal operation that is also behind numerous other ransomware strains that have terrorised victims and netted their operators billions of dollars. The group has even been seen offering its ransomware as a "service", allowing other criminals to pay a fee to deploy the ransomware against victims themselves.
A critical, unpatched vulnerability in VPN server software may have provided the attackers with the opening they used to compromise Travelex's system, demonstrating the importance of a robust vulnerability management process to continually shore up a businesses' defences against the latest threats.

Advocates, churches feeding families after COVID-19 outbreak at Utah meatpacking plant
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Volunteer Sue Sanborn delivers boxes of food — donated to the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Hyde Park — to a family impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak at the JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum, Thursday, June 18, 2020.

Logan • Sue Sanborn placed boxes of groceries on the front porch, knocked on the door and ran.
Sanborn was among the volunteers who delivered groceries and toiletries Thursday to households affected by the coronavirus outbreak at the JBS Beef Plant in nearby Hyrum. She didn't know if someone in the house on the southwest side of Logan had contracted COVID-19. So Sanborn retreated to the driveway before turning to ensure someone walked outside to find the milk, diapers, cleansers and other supplies on the porch.
Sanborn believes the government and JBS itself should be doing more to help families.
"It's unconscionable," she said, "the way the workers are being treated."
The outbreak that began at the Hyrum plant in May has put perhaps hundreds of households out of work and rippled across Cache County's safety net. The area's health department said 287 workers had tested positive for the virus the weekend of May 30.
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum, Thursday, June 18, 2020.
More employees have been infected since then, said Narciso Delgadillo, who has worked at the plant for 13 years. He started experiencing symptoms June 6. He, his wife and daughter went to a testing center June 10. All three tested positive for COVID-19 and have been in quarantine since.
Delgadillo is due to receive his next paycheck Thursday but is unsure there will be one. JBS is asking for a note from his doctor, he said, but a physician wants $200 for a video call. Even if he produces the note, the 49-year-old worker said, JBS has told him he might receive only $300 a week in short-term disability pay — far less than what he normally earns in the plant's packaging department.
"If we are considered essential workers, why are we being treated like that?" Delgadillo asked during a phone interview Friday. "Other companies don't do that to their employees — only JBS."
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Volunteer Nicole Riggs, and her son Scott deliver food from the Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, in Hyde Park, to a family impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak at the JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum, Thursday, June 18, 2020.
The JBS plant remains open at a reduced capacity.
Nikki Richardson, a JBS spokeswoman, has previously stated that anyone who is suffering from COVID-19 will receive paid leave. Those who are not sick and fearful of coming to work will be given what she called "unpaid leave."
On Thursday, Richardson wrote that Colorado-based JBS supports a variety of charities in Cache County and elsewhere and recently announced a $50 million commitment to help the communities where it has facilities.
As for whether there have been continued infections at the plant, Richardson wrote that "given the evolving nature of this situation, we aren't reporting specific numbers."
Many JBS employees have apparently decided the risk of contracting the coronavirus is too great to go back or keep working at the plant.
Richardson said the Hyrum plant is hiring.
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Rev. Rogelio Felix-Rosas shows one of the rooms full of food that has been donated to St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, which is supporting more than 50 families impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak at the JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum, Thursday, June 18, 2020.
The Rev. Rogelio Felix-Rosas of Hyde Park's St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church said some JBS workers infected other people in their households who are now missing work and paychecks. Felix-Rosas said the parish recently had to help one family pay the mortgage.
"The government should be a lot more involved," Felix-Rosas said Thursday in a church dining and meeting room that has been converted into a donation and distribution center, "and JBS should be helping with house payments."
By Friday, St. Thomas Aquinas had a list of 66 families to whom it was delivering groceries and other supplies. Other churches across Cache County are donating to households, too, or giving to congregations that are. IFA Country Stores in Logan donated a half ton of potatoes.
The area food bank and charities for immigrants and refugees — who comprise most of the plant's workforce — are pitching in.
Matt Whitaker, director of the Cache Community Food Pantry, said demand there has mushroomed since the JBS outbreak.
Even before that happened, he said, JBS was donating pallets full of hamburger to his food pantry. Whitaker and his staff freeze the meat until it can be distributed to families or one of the churches or charities helping them.
"JBS has been awesome," Whitaker said.
The Cache Community Food Pantry also recently received $25,000 in federal relief money via Logan, he said, and Cache County is using some of its federal relief funds to buy a van for the pantry.
Here are a few of the churches and charities assisting families harmed by the outbreak. Some organizations have said they prefer donors call ahead to inquire about what is needed rather than just arriving with contributions.
• Cache Community Food Pantry: 435-753-7140 or www.cachefoodpantry.com.
• Cache Refugee & Immigrant Connection: 435-915-6689 or www.cacherefugees.org.
• St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church: 435-752-1478 or www.stthomaslogan.org.
• Church of God Ebenezer in Hyrum: 435-245-3026.
• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Hyrum Stake: 435-232-3923.
Yet Lorena Rodriguez-Haro, the administrator at St. Thomas Aquinas Church who is coordinating much of the relief effort there, said too much of the humanitarian burden is falling upon churches and charities in Cache County.
Rodriguez-Haro, who worked at the Hyrum plant for two summers, would like it to close for two or three weeks to further reduce the spread of the virus, and for JBS to fully pay its workers during that shutdown.
"They're rich enough," she said, "they can pay people."
Where's the government?
Rodriguez-Haro also argues that state and local governments have not done enough communicating to immigrant families about the dangers and spread of the virus and the services available to them. She points out that the state's coronavirus website advises people who may have been exposed to the virus quarantine for 14 days, while a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage says someone may be safe to end isolation 10 days after the onset of infection. The two numbers have created confusion, she said, for workers wondering if they should return to their jobs.
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) With a table full of donated potatoes behind her, Lorena Rodriquez-Haro talks about the families needing food donations that St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church is delivering to people who have been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak at the JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum, Thursday, June 18, 2020.
The Department of Workforce Services' Logan office has been closed during the pandemic, Rodriguez-Haro points out, and many families impacted by the JBS outbreak do not have internet service at home to file unemployment claims online or seek new jobs.
"The government's not stepping up," she said. "Then the churches will."
The Bear River Health Department, which includes Cache County, opted not to try to force a closure of the plant.
Its legal counsel, Cache County Attorney James Swink, cited an executive order from President Donald Trump declaring meatpacking plants essential businesses. Swink said the order wasn't necessarily legally binding upon the health department, but the department's board wanted to honor Trump's wishes.
Chris Deutsch, postdoctoral instructor at the University of Missouri whose dissertation focuses on the history of the meatpacking industry, said the president's executive order has limited meat producers' liability and given them fewer legal reasons to safeguard employees.
The light shined on slaughterhouses during the pandemic is reminiscent of Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel "The Jungle," a groundbreaking book that led Congress to better regulate meatpackers.
"I'm not sure that we're seeing that dynamic still existing," Deutsch said, "since it doesn't seem like meat companies have to worry, then I'm not sure they have an incentive to have to care or have to commit [to worker welfare] because what's the worst that can happen to them?"

Sanborn doesn't belong to St. Thomas Aquinas or any other church. She just heard about the relief effort and decided to go to the Catholic parish to volunteer to deliver supplies.
She has one other way she plans to help JBS employees: Reduce demand for what they do.
"I was pretty much a vegetarian," Sanborn said. "Now I'm totally vegetarian."

The X Factor: Pak warned to mend their ways – Will US 'Trump' terroristan?
For years, India has been firm in its aim to expose the ugly face of the Pakistan to the rest of the world. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often said, it took the world an attack of the magnitude of 9/11 to realise that there is no good or bad terror, and the subsequent capture of Osama Bin Laden to realise that Pakistan is the mother ship of terror. It has been isolated on a global stage, it's ugly tactics exposed several times, but Pakistan has so far refused to stop providing safe haven to terrorists. Now, Islamabad has been put on notice, and by none other than the Trump Administration.
(( US defence Secretary James Mattis has clearly spelled out the country's stand, stating that Pakistan's support to Terror groups is threatening its relations with the U.S. He added, that the US will try one more time to work with Pakistan but if the efforts fail, it may revoke Pakistan's status as a non-NATO ally. This warning, coming on the same day when Pakistan's Foreign Minister arrived in US for his three day visit as part of efforts to rebuild bilateral ties and his scheduled to meet the country's national security advisor.

Jewelry Designer Catherine Michiels Served with $300K Breach of Contract Suit in Superior Court of California
Jewelry designer Catherine Michiels faces a breach of contract suit in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (Case number BC403442) which asks for three hundred thousand dollars in damages. The suit is brought by filmmaker and brand strategist Stephen Mitchell with whom Michiels was allegedly romantically involved from July of 2006 until November of 2008.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 12, 2008
The suit alleges that Michiels proposed to Mitchell that he function for her and CATHERINE MICHIELS FINE CUSTOM JEWERY, INC, in the capacity of an éminence grise (an advisor or decision-maker who operates secretly or unofficially). In the complaint, Mitchell alleges that Michiels held up the model of fashion designer Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Bergé who met in 1958, became romantically involved and formed a partnership whereby St. Laurent created fashion designs and Bergé managed the strategy and tactics of developing the brand.
The complaint states that, in fulfilling his role under the agreement, Mitchell originated and introduced the "Recognition" concept that was to define the line of silk-tie bracelets and necklaces that are signature and cornerstone to the Michiels collection, named "La Vie de l'Amour" ring, authored product "legends", arranged and negotiated a factoring agreement facilitating cash flow from client orders, created and directed the mini-documentary "Voyage" as a visual positioning statement for the brand which can be seen on the website See: http://www.catherinemichiels.com/video.html ), and generally provided strategic brand management resulting in increased sales for the company.
Fans of Catherine's creations include Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Kate Bosworth, Sandra Bullock, Sheryl Crow, Ellen DeGeneres, Macy Gray, Armand Hadida, Martine Hadida, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Helen Hunt, Sharon Stone, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts and Jacques Zribi. The Catherine Michiels collection sells in upscale stores around the world, notably in Paris at L'Eclaireur, in Dallas at YLANG23 and in Los Angeles at Steven Alan.
The suit alleges that Michiels' failure to address the issues of compensation and equity pursuant to the éminence grise/partnership agreement constitutes a material breach of contract.

Long Beach, Calif- The UCSB Men's and Women's Track& Field team traveled to Long Beach State Friday to compete at the 24th annual Big West Challenge Cup. The 4-way competition between UCSB, Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, and UC Irvine always serves as an excellent preview of Big West talent and depth halfway through the season.
In this year's edition, the UC Santa Barbara Women took the Cup for the second year in a row, scoring 190 points thanks to a number of strong performances and season bests across the board.
The Men had their share of event wins and breakthough performances and finished 3rd behind Cal State Fullerton and champion, Long Beach State.
Sike Azu-Irondi set a new personal best with a wind-legal 21.31 to grab 3rd in the Men's 200m. With this perfomance, the Junior shaves .15 off his previous time and moves all the way up to #2 All-Time on the UCSB 200m List.
Jenna Hinkle and Kaitlin Large went 1-2 in the Women's 800m, both achieving new personal bests and All-Time marks. Hinkle would lead wire to wire with a fast opening lap of 62 and Large would follow close behind. 2:09.41 and 2:11.41 gems would be #4 and #10 All-Time for the Gauchos.
Andrew Verdin and Isaiah Lozano would also go 1-2 in the Men's 1500m. This race also went out hard from the gun and then became a tactical affair. The Senior and Freshman would log a 3:54.07 and 3:56.68.
Jenna Hinkle would also win the Women's 1500m with a 4:30.84, gapping the rest of the field. Freshman Katie Camerena would have a breakout performance to grab 3rd in a new personal best of 4:36.75.
RS Freshmen Austin Lay and Josh Paradise showed Steeplechase expertise going 1-2 in the 3000m event. Lay would win by a margin of 9 seconds while Paradise recorded a new PB of 9:35.32.
Senior Maxine Goyette executed a strategic win in the Women's 3000m, confidently taking the race in the final few laps. Her time of 9:55.99 was a lifetime best. She was followed by a season best performance by Sophomore Miranda Ross, who logged an excellent 10:07.29 for 3rd.
The Men's 4x100m Relay got the stick around to a new season best of 41.59 for 3rd. It was run by Lee Duncan, Callan Cochran, Ryan Morgan, and Sike Azu-Irondi.
Veteran Hurdler Shannon Trumbbull would win the 400m Hurdle event in a new lifetime best of 60.56, good for #4 All-Time. The Senior has been on a roll this season, as she also ran a wind-legal 13.81 in the 100mH event to move to #2 All-Time.
Decathlete Jeff Lam grabbed 3rd in the Long Jump with a 23'0.75" leap.
Senior Kelsey O'Connell won the 3000m Steeplechase with a strong solo 10:49.02 effort. She was followed by Freshman Celeste Wilson who had a breakout 11:05.53 run to finish 3rd. This was a 15 second improvement in only one week for Wilson.
Stephen Leach finished 2nd in the Men's Shot Put with a 53'0" heave. The Senior had a big day and posted solid marks in the Hammer and Discus, as well.
The Women's 4x100m relay of Shannon Trumbull, Brianna Cheeks, Alanna Epps, Jazmin Moss finished 3rd in a season best of 47.12.
The school-record holder Kordell Hampton won the Discus against formidable opponents with a monster throw of 178'9".
The Women's 4x400m relay of Betsy Armitage, Kaitlin Large, Hope Bender, Morgan Simpson solidified the team win with a 3rd place finish ahead of Long Beach State, achieving a time of 3:48.64.
And the Gaucho Men's Javelin crew once again proved to be a force in the Big West, going 1-3 on the rest of the field. Senior Matthew Kuskey led Sophomore Neiman Howe and Junior Chris Ross with throws of 216'4", 203'4", and 195'9". For Ross, this was a near 15-feet improvement.
Cassidy Peng attained a top-3 finish in the Women's Pole Vault with her consistent performances at the 12'0" bar.
Heptathlete Tori Usgaard placed 2nd in the Women's Long Jump with a leap of 19'1.5".
Sophomore Jazmin Moss set her first career best of the season in the Women's Triple Jump with a 39'7.75" #5 All-Time performance. She won the event by over 5 inches.
Junior Kayla Thayer had a career day in the Shot Put and Discus, placing 2nd in the Shot with a 45'2.25" personal best and 3rd in the Disk with a 150'2" bomb. Her Shotput mark moves her to #7 All-Time.
And Senior Valerie Nestor threw very well in the Hammer, attaining a 191'0" throw to get near her PB and place 2nd overall.
"Across the board, more and more Gauchos are finding their stride and translating the hard work they have put in all year into success in competition. As a result, we are seeing the Women's team rise up and the record books being re-written every week" observed Assistant Coach Peter Van Beurden.
The Gauchos will head back down to Southern California for one of the hottest weekends of Track and Field. They will be split between the Bryan Clay Invitational and historic Mt. Sac Invite in the hunt to attain new personal bests and regional marks against some of the nations best.

This is the simpler relay of the two, and will allow you to switch between two outputs, turning one on as the other is turned off. This has a wide variety of uses and is one of my favorite redstone devices. You would use a relay like this if, for example, you wanted the lights to come on in your house only when the door is closed. Or if you want to create an airlock where only one door is open...

We will use the basic SPST (Single Pole Single Through) switch in this tutorial to control a lamp / bulb from single location.

Or to simplify, those two extra relays could be one single "double pole" relay - a relay that is like having 2 relays in one box with one coil - it switches 2 signals at once.

A 4-way switch could be used as a 2-way or on/off switch. But, if by common you mean the white wire or neutral, do not connect it to the switch, or you will get a direct short between the hot and the neutral. An on/off switch is installed in the path of the black or hot wire.


At last it can be revealed.
Apparently Germans need less sleep than us.
Although only 8 minutes less than the UK average of seven hours and 21 minutes they start work 30 minutes earlier.
And Germans spring out of bed 15 minutes after there alarm goes off whereas we Brits snooze for 20 minutes.
Professors Russell Foster, a University of Oxford neuroscientist, presented his findings into the sleeping habits of over 75,000 Germans and Brits earlier this year at The Cheltenham Science Festival.
He thinks Brits are actually more in tune with their bodies and will suffer less "social jetlag" and be more creative at work as employers are more flexible in the UK about start times which are usually 0800 in Germany.
He also found that despite centralised time zones people's body clocks still wake up according to when the sun reaches its zenith. So people in the West, where the sun is highest in the afternoon, wake up later than those in the East where the sun is at its highest point at noon.
He also looked at obesity and drinking and smoking habits. Germans are less overweight than Brits even though they match us pint of pint on beer consumption. They drink less wine and spirits but smoke more and that has been linked to "social jet lag".
The sample comprised 6,000 Brits and 70,000 Germans and the researchers are hoping to expand the research to other countries.
They think Germany night be the country that sleeps least while Mediterranean people sleep longer.
Just don't mention the economy!

Health Indicator Report of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is primarily caused by bacteria called ''Borrelia burgdorferi'' and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks (or deer ticks, ''Ixodes scapularis''). Typical symptoms include chills, fever, bull's-eye rash, headache, and muscle pain. Lyme disease affects the central nervous system, heart, and joints in its advanced stages.
Data were captured by county of residence, not county of exposure. The graph displays the incidence rate of Lyme Disease from 2007 through 2020 in New Jersey. Annual estimates of the resident population (July 1, 2007-2020) were used to calculate New Jersey Lyme disease incidence rates by year. National surveillance case definition was revised in 2008 to include probable cases. 2007 incidence rate was calculated using confirmed cases. Incidence rates from 2008 to 2020 were calculated using confirmed and probable cases.
Communicable Disease Reporting and Surveillance System, Communicable Disease Service, New Jersey Department of Health, [http://www.nj.gov/health/cd/reporting/cdrss/]
Population Estimates, [https://www.nj.gov/labor/lpa/dmograph/est/est_index.html State Data Center], New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development
Incidence (new cases) of Lyme disease
Number of Lyme disease cases reported to the New Jersey Department of Health
Total number of persons in the population
The incidence of Lyme disease decreased from 40.8 cases per 100,000 population in 2019 to 27.6 cases per 100,000 population in 2020. *Lower case counts and rates for 2020 could be impacted by COVID causing people to be less likely seek medical attention.
How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
In 2019, 95% of confirmed Lyme disease cases were reported from 17 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness in the United States, however this disease does not occur nationwide and is concentrated heavily in the Northeast and upper Midwest.[https://www.cdc.gov/Lyme/stats/index.html ^1^] The NJ 2020 incidence rate of 27.6 cases per 100,000 population remains far above the US 2019 incidence rate of 10.7.
The NJDOH [http://www.nj.gov/health/cd/ Communicable Disease Service] (CDS) has staff dedicated to the monitoring, control and prevention of vector-borne diseases, including Lyme disease. Specific activities performed by NJDOH CDS vector-borne illness staff include surveillance of vector-borne diseases, identifying risk factors, monitoring geographic trends, providing technical assistance and training and educating the public and public health partners. CDS and local health departments offer educational information about the spread, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease as well as how to safely remove a tick. NJDOH offers free continuing education credits (CME, CNE, CPE, CHES, CPH) on Lyme disease prevention, testing, diagnosis, and treatment, [http://www.nj.gov/health/cd/topics/lyme.shtml].
Individuals can take preventive measures to protect against Lyme disease. Knowing where ticks live (in or near wooded or grassy areas) and walking in the center of trails can help avoid contact with ticks. Keeping your yard clean by mowing lawns, clearing brush and removing leaf litter removes tick habitats. Applying EPA-registered insect repellent on skin and permethrin on clothing, boots and camping gear helps to keep ticks off your body. Wearing light-colored clothes can help you spot ticks and wearing long sleeves and pants tucked into socks can prevent ticks from getting under clothes. Checking your body for ticks and showering after being outdoors, ideally within 2 hours, can help find and wash off unattached ticks.

Fashion journalist, consultant, founder of digital platform Work Work Work and now author of her debut book, Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life – Katherine Ormerod has spent the majority of her career advising women how to get dressed for an array of occasions. With party season on the horizon, we asked her to share her wealth of knowledge for getting it spot on in 2018.
When it comes to party dressing, everyone feels the pressure. Whether you're a fashion amateur or expert, the 'special occasion' stress can get to the best of us, so it's worth having a few tried-and-tested formulas to lean on when the holiday party calendar starts to feel overwhelming. Here are my top tips for navigating the Yuletide period with polish and panache.
1. Never underestimate the power of a great velvet jacket. No matter what else you're wearing—even a top and jeans combo, or a work dress which has seen better days—if you throw on a beautifully cut velvet blazer, your look will immediately say festive. Wear with a silky blouse or camisole, or if you're feeling daring, all alone.
2. Polka dots are my favourite print and even though the look might seem more wedding season than Christmas party, the best party style is always about feeling confident and happy – so forget about the newest trend and go in what makes you feel great.
3. While there's always a place for classics during party season, don't be afraid to take a few considered risks. Clashing colours like burgundy and fuchsia or navy and kingfisher blue always looks striking and is guaranteed to turn heads.
4. During the years I worked as a journalist on a busy magazine, I became a pro at turning an outfit from zero to hero in a flash. One minute you're in the office slaving at your screen, the next you're toasting a glass of champagne at a celebrity party. The training has made me very quick to get ready for a night out, and I've learnt the key is in the accessories. Great earrings, a proper evening bag (nothing kills an after-dark look quicker than your work bag dragging you down) and a flick of black eyeliner always do the trick.
5. Whether you go for sequins or scarlet red, the party season is no time for lukewarm style. While you don't have to look like the Christmas tree, go big or go home.
6. Wrap dresses are one of the party season's most versatile options. Layer over a fine turtleneck, over straight-leg jeans, or wear with a chunky knit over the dress and ankle boots for a great office-to-party pairing.
7. When it comes to the perfect LBD, fit is everything. Go for a simple cut with an eye-catching design detail – think off-the-shoulder, backless or a turtleneck style to mix things up.
8. The best party beauty is an XXL version of your everyday look. Rather than completely changing the stakes, it's about adding drama to what you already know suits you. I love black liner and smoky eye shadows, but for a party I'll add false lashes. A glowy complexion is all about preparation – a mask the night before, then exfoliation and moisturising before applying your make-up. And to add a final touch of party flavour, finish with a highlighter swept up the cheekbones.
9. Party flats are indeed a great option for dancing 'til dawn, but if you need a little lift to elongate your legs or like me, are petite, a mid-heel is your best holiday season friend.
10. Pack your party bag carefully. Obviously there's the essentials, but also bring blister plasters (new shoes), a hair bobble, a mini perfume and powder – when applied all at once this kit can give you a whole new lease of life on the dancefloor.
