Confirmed: More LEGO Merchandise Based on the Avatar Franchise in 2022
23/03/2022 - 00:37 Lego Avatar Lego news New LEGO 2022 Rumors
It is during an interview concerning the products derived from the Avatar franchise that we finally obtain confirmation of information that has been feeding the usual channels for several months already: there will indeed be a range of LEGO derivative products based on the first two films of the Avatar franchise in 2022 .
Difficult to know more at this stage, the interview lists all the partnerships planned around the second part of the saga and, concerning LEGO, it is necessary to be satisfied with the declaration below which announces a series of sets based on the first film released in theaters in 2009 and on the new opus expected for December 14, 2022:
...The LEGO Group will also have a full suite of building sets to recreate and display major movie moments across both the first "Avatar" film and "Avatar 2." ...
From the side rumors currently circulating, we obtain four references with number of pieces and public prices, without having the assurance that these boxes which would be planned for the month of October 2022 are indeed the derivative products of the franchise announced in this interview.
LEGO 75571 (560 pieces - Retail price: €39.99)
LEGO 75574 (1212 pieces - Retail price: €139.99)
New to LEGO Creator: first look at 40517 Vespa scooter due in 2022
02/01/2022 - 10:18 Lego news New LEGO 2022 Rumors
The lifestyle visual is used by the Hungarian brand Kocka.hu to illustrate the LEGO Creator set sheet 40518 High-Speed Train and it leaves no room for doubt: the LEGO creator range will soon be enriched with at least one Vespa scooter in Creator format, potentially under the reference 40517 Vespa.
Rumors that have been circulating for several months also tell us an interpretation of the vehicle in Creator Expert / 18+ format possibly bearing the reference 10298, green in color and delivered with some accessories. The mini-model visible on the visual above would therefore not be the only representation of the Italian scooter scheduled for 2022. It will be necessary to wait for the first leaks or an official announcement to be fixed.
LEGO 76989 Horizon Zero Dawn Tallneck: a 2022 video game based LEGO set?
Everything starts from a LEGO product listed on the website of the German brand Wagners24 whose title is unambiguous: LEGO would have in its boxes a product based on the video game Horizon Zero Dawn bearing the reference 76989 Horizon Zero Dawn Tallneck. It is in any case under this name that the reference 76989 is presented on the website of the brand in question, with availability announced for May 1, 2022.
The latest rumors to date evoke the possibility of a LEGO range entirely dedicated to the world of video games, within which we would therefore find in 2022 at least the confirmed Overwatch 2 reference. 76980 titanium and possibly this second set which would be based on a successful video game including the second part, Horizon Forbidden Forest, will be available in spring 2022.
The name of the product leaves no room for doubt, it will be a question of assembling a Tallneck (Large-neck in French), these robotic creatures that allow you to obtain a map of the area in which they evolve. It is not known if the main character of the game, Aloy, will be delivered in the box.
A search on the product's EAN (5702017156491) allows you to find other resellers who have already listed this product but without the precise title posted by the German brand. the dealers in question are content for the moment with a provisional title in the form "Gaming IP - tbd-Gaming-IP-18 + -2022"which tells us at least that the set will be a reference stamped 18+.
We will have to wait for a possible leak or an official announcement to be sure.
Stars Wars The Book of Boba Fett: a trailer while waiting for the series (and the LEGO sets)
01/11/2021 - 23:38 Lego news LEGO Star Wars New LEGO 2022 Rumors
The trailer for the Disney + series Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett is online and it gives us a first glimpse of what we will be able to discover during the nine episodes which will begin airing on December 29th. The form is there, with an atmosphere that will delight the most nostalgic of fans, the content will have to match the packaging.
As was the case with The Mandalorian series with all a series of derivative products, LEGO should offer us some products derived from this new series. The latest rumors to date evoke the possibility of at least one box containing the Tatooine Palace under the reference 75326 Boba Fett's Palace with a public price set at 99.99 € which confirms that it will not be the giant construction that some already imagine. If the set is indeed marketed in March 2022, it should at least allow the throne to be assembled in the middle of a few pieces of walls. Regarding minifigs, the potential is there judging by the many creatures seen in the trailer. It remains to be seen what LEGO will take away from that when the time comes.
LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship UCS: Commercialization Confirmed For 2021
18/03/2021 - 16:22 Lego news LEGO Star Wars Rumors
Today we are quickly talking about the Republic Gunship expected in the LEGO Star Wars range this year following a video conference during which the designers agreed to deliver some more or less evasive answers to the questions put to them. The product was not presented to us, it was just a question at this stage of evoking the set by kicking in touch on most of the questions too specific.
We now know that the Republic Gunship winner of the vote organized last year on the Ideas platform will be well marketed this year, probably in the fall, and that it will be an imposing stamped model Ultimate Collector Series.
The double canopy, about fifteen centimeters long, pad-printed with red patterns, which will be used on this model was briefly presented during the conference, specifying that it logically defines the scale of the rest of the construction. It is composed of two copies of the 10x4x3 one which already equips many models including the 2012 UCS B-wing or the Anakin Jedi Interceptor. The designers also evoke the need for a coffee table to display this Republic Gunship which promises to be imposing, a simple shelf is probably not enough.
One should not expect to get a large handful of minifigs in this set, the designers confirming that the minifig (s) that usually accompany UCS products are there to add a decorative touch to the exhibition models concerned.
In the radius of the rumors which circulate elsewhere, we have a reference, it would be the set 75309, a theoretical public price which would be fixed at 349.99 € and a number of parts which is not confirmed for instant: 3292.

For me its a trail access issue. In Montana we are fighting everyday to keep access to some amazing singletrack. The people and organizations that are fighting us use anything they can come up with against us. This is a easy one for them. Maybe if $100 of every ebike sale went help save trail access it would be easier to pallet. Until the 3 big boys in game step up and start helping in the trail access fight their bottom line on ebike sales means little to me.

Faith healing parents lose bid to dismiss homicide charges
Thursday August 8, 2013 Faith Healing, First Century Gospel Church, Herbert and Catherine Schaible, RNB's Religion News Blog
Herbert and Catherine Schaible, charged with third degree murder in the faith healing death of their 8-month old son, have lost their bid to have those charges dismissed.
Brandon Scott Schaible died in the family's home April 18 from bacterial pneumonia and dehydration after the parents withheld medical care.
They were still on probation in the 2009 death of their 2-year-old son, Kent.
Herbert and Catherine Schaible
In 2011 Herbert and Catherine Schaible promised a judge that they would never again choose religion over medicine, before they were sentenced to 10 years probation.
Convicted of involuntary manslaughter, they had each originally faced more than 10 years in prison.
Under the terms of their probation their remaining children were to receive regular medical checkups, while probation officers had access to their medical records.
However, the Schaibles are members of the First Century Gospel Church in Northern Philadelphia — theologically a cult of Christianity which teaches that "it is a definite sin to trust in medical help and pills" and claims that a person's salvation depends on trusting God to heal without medical help or medicine.
Former members refer to the church as a "cult," and say that death surrounded them.
Prosecutors and the judge in the case point out that they Schaibles knowingly and willingly broke their probation promises.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says
"We've been here before, they've been here before under strikingly similar circumstances," Common Pleas Court Judge Benjamin Lerner told Herbert Schaible's defense attorney, Bobby Hoof, referring to the 2009 death of another child. […]
Lerner reminded Hoof that the Schaibles' probation required them to get medical care for their children for illness or injury.
"They promised never to let something like this happen again," Lerner said. "But when push came to shove, they prayed, with no more attention to that promise than a puff of air."
Herbert Schaible remains jailed pending the trial, while his wife was recently released on bail. She is under house arrest at her parents' home.
The couple's seven surviving children, ages about 8 to 17, have been in foster care since Brandon died. They have received court-ordered medical examinations and any needed immunizations.
They each face a possible sentence of 40 years in prison if convicted of third-degree murder and 10 years for involuntary manslaughter.
They also face five to ten years in prison for violating the terms of their 10-year probation in the death of Kent Schaible.

Definition - What does First Offense mean?
A first offense is a person's first criminal violation of the law. A first offense can be any number of different criminal violations. For example, it could be petty theft of $50, or it could be grand theft of $10,000.
All that is necessary for something to constitute as a first offense is that it is the first time that an individual has been charged with a crime.
People who are prosecuted for their first offense are often treated less severely than repeat offenders in courts of law. For example, a first offender may get a lighter jail sentence, or a smaller fine. The reason is because first offenders are not seen as habitual criminals, and instead are often viewed as people who may have made a mistake, but who can easily be put back on track.


APARTMAN KOPRIVNICA is located in Koprivnica. Guests staying at this apartment can use the free WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a patio. The apartment comes with a flat-screen TV and 1 bedroom. Varaždin is 30 miles from the apartment.


Harry Fairtlough grew up in the tiny village of Blandford St. Mary, England, the son of a British army general who died before Harry could know him. Harry attended private schools and lived in a manor house with his mother and three older siblings.
Marina Campo was raised in the sunny seaport of Cadiz, Spain. Her parents had emigrated from their poor, tiny village in Italy to open an ice cream shop, which became wildly successful.
When Harry marries Marina in 1965, these two vastly different families come together for all time. On one side of the aisle, there is happy noise and enthusiasm, while on the other, the British relatives sit in genteel reserve, restrained in their feathered hats, beautiful clothes, and tightly crossed feet.
In this superbly written memoir of two families who represent vastly different cultures, the author, with obvious love and respect, shares some of each family's stories, vignettes that characterize the lives of each group.
Readers will fall in love with the whole bunch of Fairtloughs and Campos, even the bitter Arturo, Marina's father, whose dream of returning to Italy was deferred until it was too late. Not to be forgotten is Iole, Marina's indomitable mother, the force behind all things Campo.
The author's power of description is prodigious as she leads us up to the tiny mountainous village of Zoldo, Italy, then back down to the verdant fields of Blandford St. Mary and on to the sunny seaport of Cadiz. Enhancing the story are treasured family recipes, instructions for games, and some wonderful photographs.
This tender and often very funny account of diverse cultures coming together is rooted in the common ground of honor, duty, integrity, and love given freely and unselfishly, and it's a lesson delivered timely to a generation in need of such examples.
The only thing wrong with this book is that it ends.

The health condition of DMK Chief M Karunanidhi has declined significantly over the last few hours, said a medical bulletin issued by Kauvery Hospital here on Tuesday.
Karunanidhi's health condidion has declined significantly over the last few hours.
His vital organ functions continue to deteriorate, says Kauvery Hospital.
M K Stalin and others met Tamil Nadu chief minister and briefed him on his father's health condition.
CHENNAI: The health condition of DMK president M Karunanidhi has declined significantly over the last few hours, said a medical bulletin issued by Kauvery Hospital here on Tuesday.
"Despite maximum medical support, his vital organ functions continue to deteriorate. His condition is extremely critical and unstable," said the bulletin issued by hospital executive director Dr Aravindan Selvaraj. It was issued at 4.30pm.
On Monday night, the hospital issued a bulletin stating that there had been a decline in the medical condition of the 94-year-old former Tamil Nadu chief minister.
"Maintaining his vital organ function continues to remain a challenge considering his age-related ailments. He is on continuous monitoring and is being treated with active medical support. His response to the medical intervention over the next 24 hours will determine the prognosis," it said.
On Tuesday afternoon, Karunanidhi's son and party working president M K Stalin led a delegation of family members and senior leaders to Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami's official residence on Greenways Road in Chennai. Sources said Stalin had briefed the chief minister on his father's health condition.
Stalin was accompanied by his older brother M K Alagiri, his sister Kanimozhi, his brother-in-law 'Murasoli' Selvam and senior leaders T R Baalu and I Periyasamy. The meeting lasted 15 minutes.


Munich, Berlin, Germany (Weltexpress). Everything was arranged, in the stadium near Munich as well as in the "Hofbräu Berlin" for the second leg of the Champions League between the FC Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
Original "Wiener Schnitzel" (has to be calf!) with Bavarian potato salad and cranberries as well as "Tiroler Kässpätzle" (noodles) with salad stood on the table, in addition beer like the "Hofbräu Original", and "Hofbräu wheat beer". The conditions were perfect and also in Munich the lawn was not only green, but also was well watered. The fact that the lawn has been too dull, had been deplored after the 1:0 defeat against Atletico in Madrid, of course by the Bavarians.
After the initial seesaw with two long-range shots of Gabi for Atletico (6. and 15). and a header by Robert Lewandowski for Bayern (11). the thrilling match calmed down and the host took over control. Ball losses became ball control, but only a standard situation lead to a goal (31). Besides, the shooter had a lot of fortune. The free kick kicked by Xabi Alonso was deflected by Jose Gimenez so that the ball was indefensible for goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
The once more outstanding goalie held shots of Lewandowski (21). and a penalty rather weakly shot by Thomas Müller (34). But no further goals were shot by neither side.
The "Bayern" were obviously shocked, also the guests in the Hofbräu Berlin, while the audience in Munich looked operetta-like, apart from the unswerved Ultras, the bigmouths…At the latest when Lewandowski shot once more, but Oblak held, this phase was over (70). Then, a cross by Alaba, was transferred by "Air Vidal" with the head to Lewandowski who's header meant the 2:1 lead (74).
"Bayern" pressed again for another goal, however, Atletico defended and countered strongly. A professional foul by Martínez on Torres scarcely before the penalty box was moved into it by referee Cüneyt Cakir from Turkey. The fouled shot himself, he could already have sealed it all, nevertheless, he shot badly like Müller before and thus the ball was an easy prey for Munich goalie Manuel Neuer(84). Whatever the Bavarians tried in the last five (plus five overtime) minutes – it failed.
Game data: 12:2 corners and 34:7 shots on goal and a lot of ball possession for the bavarian side. For the third time in succession the FC Bayern failed in the Champions League semi-final.
Now some Bavarian fans in exile, so those in the "Hofbräu Berlin" to whom we could speak after the match, hope that the new italian coach of the FC Bayern Munich, Carlo Ancelotti, will less emphasise on ball possession and more on a strong defense and effectiveness.

Q: Revoked certificate not getting into Microsoft CA CRL I have a CA and an Active Directory + ADFS instances set up on a Windows Server 2016 machine. I issued a client certificate for one of the users (for smart card logon) and then revoked it. However, I'm still able to log in via the revoked certificate.
When trying to debug this, I see that the revoked cert doesn't appear in the CRL. Should this be configured somehow, or is it some kind of caching?
Some data:

*

*In certsrv, the Revoked Certificates section shows the certificate I revoked, with the Revocation Reason = Unspecified.

*certutil says "Leaf certificate revocation check passed". Full command: certutil -f –urlfetch -verify C:\Path\To\My\Revoked\Cert.cer

*In certsrv in the CA properties, the "Extensions" tab does show multiple CRL distribution points; I haven't changed these settings.

*When opening the .crl files in C:\Windows\system32\CertSrv\CertEnroll\, both of them are empty.

John Prescott's Second Mistress: Identity Revealed
The Sunday Mirror has an 'exclusive' interview with John Prescott's second mistress. Click HERE. She's former Labour candidate Sarah Bissett-Scott. She says:
"I was totally bowled over by him. He did all the running but I loved him and I think he loved me too. Looking back I was totally foolish and very naive but he is a very charismatic and persuasive man. "It started at a Labour Party Conference but I want to stress he did all the running. There was a mutual attraction. Many women were flirting with him. People find it difficult to believe, but he is very charismatic and attractive. I was new to politics and he was so enthusiastic. He might be fat and ugly now, but when I knew him was a very attractive man. Naively I thought his wife lived in the North and he lived in London. I was very stupid. He led me to believe he was leading separate lives from his wife Pauline. But why pick on me? I assume there were many other lovers."
The Sunday Times carried a front page story about Prescott being a 'serial groper'. Tricia McDaid provides the evidence. Click HERE. She said:
"He just leapt on me at one party and his tongue was halfway down my throat. " Such was Prescott's reputation, she said, that she resorted to wearing trouser suits to avoid his wandering hands in the lifts at his Westminster office. She added that she was too afraid to protest at the time for fear of losing her job. She added: "He started to kiss me. He pulled my dress out, looked down my top and said, 'What have you got on under there, how come you can't see anything?'. I was wearing a body stocking as opposed to a bra and knickers. It was so embarrassing for him to have done that in front of so many people... He was a boastful, arrogant, nasty pig. He just jumped on you when he felt like it at a party. He had no manners whatsoever. Several times I nearly slapped him in the face. Afterwards I worked as a political journalist for the Irish News. I remember him at a party at the Irish embassy. I was surrounded by people but he kissed me on the lips and started to put his tongue down my throat. I laid into him. I got quite aggressive and there was a scene. He accused me of being a Tory spy."
So we now know of four women Prescott has either had an affair with or tried to. It makes one wonder how many more there are. I suspect it won't be long before we find out. Surely he can't survive this.

Time Don Partridge arrived with his greatest hit!
Just had a call suggesting that Ladbrokes or one of the other major bookies are opening a book on the total mistress figure-any advance on three?
"Just had a call suggesting that Ladbrokes or one of the other major bookies are opening a book on the total mistress figure-any advance on three?"
Are they going to impose a time-limit by which they have to pay out?
I concede this could be open to cheating but we could always put him into a monestary retreat for forty eight hours while the count was dealt with!
Payout would be five seconds after declaration!
The dates seem a little confused. Or maybe I am. Is this another "while in office" affair, or one he had prior to becoming 2i/c NuLab and DPM?
From my read of various reports his continued existence on the payroll depended on him telling the Dear Leader he hasn't had any more affairs during or after his Tracey temple fling.
Not so!
The real question is whether taxpayers were funding the Ministerial jumps!

I must admit to being unimpressed by female victims who just happen to find a man's tongue down their throat. Reminds me of the John Leslie allegations where we were told he had raped a woman on their first date, and on their second. I do not believe women are normally so helpless.
Who would have thought of John Prescott as Britain's own Arnie?
Why JP of course!

US chemical regulations finally updated
The much-anticipated overhaul of outdated chemicals legislation has cleared Congress and is about to be signed into law
Environmental campaigners claim emissions from ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge plant are harming local residents
The effort to reform the 40-year-old law that governs the regulation of chemicals in the US has faced many false starts, especially over the last year, but now finally President Obama's signature enacting a law to update the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is imminent.
The bill came to the Senate floor on the evening on 7 June by unanimous consent and passed on a voice vote, after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the same legislation by 403-12 on 24 May. The President has made his support for the legislation clear.
TSCA reform was derailed in the Senate by Republican Senator Rand Paul, a former presidential hopeful, who blocked a vote on the measure in May over concerns that it represented an over-reach of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority. Paul said he needed more time to review the bill, which is about 180 pages long, and then lifted the hold on 7 June despite his continuing objections. Addressing the Senate floor during the vote on 7 June, he argued that the TSCA reform bill set to become law represents a 'sweeping federal takeover of chemical regulations'.
The updated TSCA gives the EPA significantly more power and responsibilities, including the authority to require health and safety data for untested chemicals. The bill also sets mandatory and enforceable deadlines for the EPA to act to regulate chemicals of concern, and it gives industry a pathway to prioritise approval of new chemicals before they reach the market as well as protection over proprietary information.
The legislation is not only bipartisan, having earned the votes of bitter political enemies on this issue, it has also managed to attract the enthusiastic support of the chemical industry and a significant portion of the environmental lobby.
The American Chemistry Council's president and CEO, Cal Dooley, said the TSCA reform bill is significant not only because it is the first major environmental law passed since 1990, but also because it will benefit US manufacturers, American families and the nation's standing as the world's leading innovator.
Loopholes and rollbacks
The Environmental Defense Fund also celebrated the TSCA reform bill clearing Congress, hailing it as the first major environmental legislation in over two decades. While the Natural Resources Defense Council agreed that the bill strengthens EPA's programme to evaluate and regulate toxic chemicals, its president, Rhea Suh, warned that it contains 'loopholes and rollbacks' sought by the chemical industry. She said these include restrictions on the authority of states, and limits on the EPA monitoring chemicals in imported products that may be a threat to public health.
The Environmental Working Group agreed that the TSCA rewrite now sitting on Obama's desk represents a significant improvement over the current law, but said that it may not provide the EPA with the necessary resources or clear legal authority the agency needs to quickly review and, if needed, ban dangerous chemicals.
Last month, Republicans in the House released an appropriations bill for fiscal year 2017 that would slash the EPA's funding and staffing. The bill, which would cut $164 million in spending from the agency's current levels, is $1 billion less than President Obama requested.
The committee also proposes to reduce the EPA's regulatory programmes by 6% below the current level, and 21% below the President's request. Further, the House bill rejects Obama's proposed increase in staffing for the EPA, holding the agency to the current capacity of 15,000 positions, the lowest since 1989.
The head of the House Appropriations Committee, Hal Rogers, recently told Bloomberg BNA that 'it remains to be seen' if the implementation of the revised TSCA law will be funded adequately in fiscal year 2017. Any funding levels proposed by the House will have to be negotiated with the Senate figures before they can be forwarded to the President for his signature into law.

1189: Voyager 1
Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
(Redirected from 1189)
Comic #1189 (March 22, 2013)
Title text: So far Voyager 1 has 'left the Solar System' by passing through the termination shock three times, the heliopause twice, and once each through the heliosheath, heliosphere, heliodrome, auroral discontinuity, Heaviside layer, trans-Neptunian panic zone, magnetogap, US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary, Kuiper gauntlet, Oort void, and crystal sphere holding the fixed stars.
Explanation[edit]
Voyager 1 is a U.S. space probe launched in 1977 to study the outer reaches of the Solar System and beyond. Popular press has on several occasions announced that it "has left the solar system" at each point when a boundary has been confirmed or a major event has taken place. This underscores the fact that there is no strictly defined and recognizable boundary of the solar system, or at least we haven't found one yet.
On the day of this comics release (2013-03-22) it was announced that Voyager 1 had entered a new region of space. At this point Voyager 1 had passed through the Heliopause and entered the Interstellar medium, although this latter was first confirmed about half a year later in September 2013.
The chart shows that Voyager 1 has left the Solar System 22 times, but in the title text only 16 are mentioned.
The title text lists several such possible boundaries, (and how many times Voyager 1 has passed them) together with fictive humorous ones:
Real boundaries[edit]
Three times:
The termination shock—the point in the heliosphere where the solar wind slows down to subsonic speed (relative to the star) because of interactions with the local interstellar medium. When exactly Voyager 1 passed the Termination shock is not clear and on Wikipedia there is given dates of 2003, 2004 and 2005. The final estimate was that it happened late in 2004. (Thus fitting with three times).
Twice:
The heliopause—the theoretical boundary where the Sun's solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium. It was first reported in 2012 that Voyager 1 had reached the Heliopause, but first on the day of this comics release was it officially announced that it had passed through to the interstellar medium. (Thus fitting with two times).
Once only (Each):
The heliosphere—a region of space dominated by Earth's Sun, a sort of bubble of charged particles in the space surrounding the Solar System—we live inside this region. At its boundary there are three named borders which are the real ones mentioned before and after this in the title text. From inside to out they are: The termination shock, the heliosheath and the heliopause. The reason the other two are mentioned first is that they have occurred more than once, and the list begins with those for that reason. As these other three borders are also part of the heliosphere, with the heliopause being the outer border of the heliosphere, then Voyager 1 will have left the heliosphere at the same time as it left the heliopause.
The heliosheath—the region of the heliosphere beyond the termination shock. It was confirmed that Voyager 1 passed through this at the end of 2010, so this occurred two years before the Heliopause was reached. But since it only happened once, it is mentioned after the first two, and maybe after the heliosphere because it is inside this region?
Fictional boundaries[edit]
Heliodrome—yet another composition of helios "sun," here together with dromos "course". There is no astronomical object with this name, but it has been used variously in other contexts. One that became famous is a sports hall which was used as a concentration camp in the Bosnian war, see Heliodrom camp.
Auroral discontinuity—another fictitious astronomic object, for auroral see Aurora (astronomy).
Heaviside layer—a layer of ionized gas occurring between roughly 90–150 km (56–93 mi) above the ground in the Earth's atmosphere. Popularly recognized for its use as a reference to Heaven in the writings of T. S. Eliot adapted into Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats.
Trans-Neptunian panic zone—this fictional zone combines the word from two subjects: "Trans–Neptunian" is used in astronomy to describe stuff that occurs beyond the planet Neptune. In Outdoor education the "panic zone" is the opposite of the comfort zone when trying to learn new stuff.
Magnetogap – part of an ignition system.
US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary—a fictitious boundary supposedly defined by the United States Census Bureau, similarly to how it defines census areas for the purpose of processing statistical data about regions in the United States. In this case, the Bureau's boundary for determining the population of the solar system.
Kuiper gauntlet—this is a play on the Kuiper belt, which is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun, notable for being full of asteroids; replacing the word "belt" with "gauntlet (glove)" (often spelled 'gantlet') which is a protective glove as well as "gauntlet (punishment)" which is a medieval punishment where one would be forced to run through two lines of men who would hit the punishee.
Oort void—refers to the Oort cloud, a gigantic "cloud" of materials (mainly composed of ice) which ends around a light-year from The Sun and is deemed the (current) "edge" of the solar system. The "void" may be pun on density of that "cloud" - the number of bodies in it may be huge, but given its size, it's mostly empty.
Crystal sphere holding the fixed stars—this refers to historical ideas about the universe, particularly the Ptolemaic system, in which the stars were supposed to be fixed on a large crystal sphere around the Earth. It might also be referencing "The Crystal Spheres", a short story by David Brin, in which humanity's first interstellar ship shatters a previously undetected, protective barrier around the solar system. It may also be a reference to the Dungeons and Dragons setting "Spelljammer".
Total count above reaches 16 exits from the solar system vs. 22 in the comic itself.

Uh, not all tally marks are Doctor Who references. Alpha (talk) 05:49, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is Randall getting lazy? Most of the past comics have been simplistic, easy-to-draw charts. {{unsigned|98.172.117.132}
It's a stick figure comic, how could it be more lazy than it already is? (Not a bad thing) HelloWorld (talk) 11:14, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Having just come from the future, we can now surmise that he was prepping for the epic, month-long-and-running sandcastle comic that started in the strip after this one. Echo Seven (talk) 03:59, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh, was he talking about the glove? I though it was referring to "running the gauntlet" for some reason. --123.243.217.72 07:17, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
No, that's "running the gantlet." Two words which are often confused for each other. Plus you could run a gantlet of people whacking you with their gauntlets. 63.241.174.129 13:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
"Running the gantlet" and "running the gauntlet" are both acceptable uses, since both gantlet and gauntlet can be used for the punishment (however, "dropping the gantlet" would be incorrect, since gantlet only refers to the punishment, while gauntlet can refer to both the punishment and the glove). 72.178.88.37 01:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
He almost certainly meant 'gantlet'; I think Randall just got the two words confused (it happens frequently. At this point, dictionary.com lists both spellings as synonymous.) The medieval punishment makes much more sense in context (ie: lots of things that could potentially hit Voyageur.)24.70.188.179 13:31, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, I saw a straight wordplay belt→glove there. --Mormegil (talk) 14:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Gauntlet and gantlet are both fitting and humorous in the context. Homophones are great. 98.240.130.17 17:41, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
There were several stories two days ago saying it had left, then a correction from NASA saying it didn't. http://science.time.com/2013/03/20/humanity-leaves-the-solar-system-35-years-later-voyager-offically-exits-the-heliosphere/ http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2416867,00.asp http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/voyager/voyager20130320.html Bugefun (talk) 07:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Is it just me or is it unclear why are there sixteen leaving events described in the title text but twenty-two tally marks on the comic? 188.221.199.135 07:39, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
I just keep hoping that my children will be interested in space. Too late for me, NASA wouldn't want me, but surely my genes are still ok, I hope. To follow voyager down the rabbit hole of our expectations, what else can father ever ask? 166.147.120.177 08:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
No it is not just you why there are 22 tick marks, and only 16 countable exits.192.231.124.16 12:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
The Crystal Sphere may refer to a David Brin story used to explain the fermi paradox of why we have had no alien contact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Spheres Schmammel (talk) 14:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Crystal Sphere could also be a reference to the old Spelljammer D&D setting where systems/galaxies were contained in crystal spheres. 146.146.7.2
Which in turn is a reference to (well, really, direct borrowing from) the Ptolemaic astronomical concept, so it still comes back to the same thing. 129.176.151.14 13:30, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
"US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary – a fictive boundary defined by": I'm capable of reading 'fictive' as 'conventional' in this sentence; as in "the real census bureau really invented it, like they really invented census areas". I would not have been confused by 'fictional', or by 'a boundary fictively invented', but I'm not sure that the second one is good English. I may have studied too much sociology. 121.73.5.66 07:38, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
"Magnetogap" is probably wordplay on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetopause -- 194.176.203.76 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Big news today (September 12, 2013), as Voyager 1 leaves the solar system. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/13/science/in-a-breathtaking-first-nasa-craft-exits-the-solar-system.html and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24026153 Porkypine (talk) 19:47, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I have seen this statements at NASA too, but now it's just "Voyager Embarks on Journey Into Interstellar Space" and "NASA Spacecraft Embarks on Historic Journey Into Interstellar Space". So, this is just the next marker for this comic. Randall should do an update. There is simply NO defined border, it's just an other media hype. Look at nasawatch.com for the Randall like critical statements. Correct is: Voyager is leaving out solar system. But objects surrounding our sun, like Sedna are much farther outside. It's just a hype, this comic definitively needs an update by Randall.--Dgbrt (talk) 20:53, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
It appears this comic may become relevant again, if these guys are correct. It's supposed to have crossed the current sheet late last year, so we may find out soon if Voyager is still here. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/2014GL060781/asset/grl51945.pdf?v=1&t=imnldq4k&s=3e62d6267158bfc259d6b16de42ab4c2d942b900 162.158.146.247 15:45, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Fixed some typos/grammar and modified the logic of the bullets (a bullet for "real" boundaries, followed by "the rest" - including two real boundaries - didn't make any sense to me).Xseo (talk) 19:02, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Realised "Fictive" is a real word, feel free to change it back, using fictional makes more sense to me as a natural English speaker though. Xseo (talk) 19:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Summary: Chapter V
Jurists approve abortive contraception
I. The Model Penal Code of the American Institute of Law (ALI)
The American Law Institute (ALI) is a private entity, founded in 1923 by lawyers, judges, and academics to study, clarify, and modernize American law at all levels. One of ALI's most important project was the drafting of the Model Penal Code (MPC), which has had great influence both in the United States and in other countries.
The text of the Code's article on Abortion and Related Offenses (Section 230.3 of the MPC) dealt with the different criminal categories of abortion (unjustified, justifiable, self-induced, fictitious and irregular) and pre-implantation contraceptives. It was approved at the session of May 24, 1962 after introducing some important amendments. That same year, the Institute published the Official Final Draft of the MPC and in 1985, the Official Draft with Explanatory Notes was published, which put an end to the project begun more than fifty years before.
II. Subsection 7 of Article 230.3 on Abortion and Related Offenses, of the Model Penal Code
There are countless works that were published, commenting on the successes and shortcomings of Section 230.3, so it is surprising that one of its paragraphs, Subsection 7, barely aroused the attention of the experts, despite the novelty of its content and the serious impact of its ethical and anthropological implications. Its text says: "7. Section Inapplicable to the Prevention of Pregnancy. Nothing in this Section shall be considered applicable to the prescription, dispensation or distribution of medicines or other substances to prevent pregnancy, either because they impede the implantation of a fertilized egg, or by any other method that operates before, during or immediately after fertilization. "
This stunning subsection prescribed, on the one hand, that the other paragraphs (1 to 6) of the section did not apply to contraceptive methods. On the other hand, however, it established that medicines and substances that would operate after fertilization were to be considered simple contraceptives, which at that time implied an unprecedented and novel assertion. Prior to the appearance of the MPC, the destruction of young human embryos had long been recognized as very early abortion. Thus Subsection 7 introduced for the first time in society the notion that the destruction of young human embryos, could no longer be considered or penalized as an abortion, so long as this destruction occurred through a mechanism that operated between fertilization and implantation – an assertion which greatly expanded the concept of contraception.
Due to the decision of the governing bodies of the ALI, Subsection 7 remained unchanged throughout the complex drafting process of the MPC. Only a few authors alluded to various particulars of Subsection 7. Thus, for example, Meloy only inquires into the meaning of the expression "drugs or other substances". Albright, Byrne, and Crooks accuse the subsection of vagueness, ambiguity, lack of medical grounds, and of offering a biased moral vision. Mietus and Mietus criticize some errors contained in the ALI Commentary on §207.11, such as the assertion that only in the fourth month of gestation is the fetus firmly implanted in the uterus; or that the difference between the embryo as "being initiated," on the one hand, and the fully formed fetus, on the other, justifies the ethical and juridical position that distinguishes between lives that can be discarded and lives worthy of being saved. Kutner criticizes ALI for avoiding altogether the ethical problem of control of fertility prior to implantation. Grisez notes that Subsection 7 is a clear invitation both to develop pharmacological abortifacients, such as the morning-after pill, and to legitimize abortifacient techniques of birth control, such as the IUD. Marshall and Donovan point out that "the language used presupposes that there are two different beginnings for the same gestation, namely, fertilization and implantation." In the middle of the 20th century, denying ethical significance to fertilization was a bold decision, given that it is also necessary to remember that the 'pill' was not approved by the FDA for contraceptive use until 1960. In 1957, on a statistically questionable basis, it had been approved for certain gynecological indications, after evaluating its efficacy and safety, but without having precise knowledge of its mechanism of action.
To all this the ALI simply responded: "Subsection (7) draws the line between abortion and contraception in order to prevent the Article from being applied to criticize the techniques that prevent pregnancy, even when these techniques operate shortly after fertilization. Recent research on contraception shows that certain methods of birth control which involve ingesting oral drugs prevent the fertilized oocyte from being implanted on the wall of the uterus, a necessary precondition for fetal development." The response contained no references regarding what this recent research might be or where it is published. A review of the knowledge about the abortifacient effect of oral contraceptives at the time reveals that they were moving in the field of conjecture, not on the basis of proven data.
With the passage of time, the mechanism of action by inhibition of implantation had become common knowledge. We must therefore acknowledge that, in the end, Subsection 7 was ultimately prophetic. Clearly, at the time of its writing, it was designed to mislead. After all, it was based on unsubstantiated claims, rather than scientific evidence. Ultimately it was designed to introduce contraception as something required by the advancing society of the day, and thus to give legal sanction to the change of attitude towards sexuality.

Several weeks ago, in response to my post concerning a snow fence, someone commented that they thought I had a particular penchant for discussing highly functional and perhaps unusual objects. I have been thinking about that observation and came to the conclusion that it might be fun to do a bit more of that … this time, however, with a bit of a twist. Over the next little while I will endeavor to post images of the component parts of something highly functional and somewhat unusual from here at the farm. When all of the components have been shown I'll post an image of the assembled item. If there is sufficient interest in the series I'd consider posting a video of the thing in use. So, here's to something highly functional. What do you make of the image below? What is it? And what is it part of?

What the Mystics Know
Seven Pathways to Your Deeper Self
Drawing from the best and most poetic of Richard Rohr's essays from nearly a quarter of a century, each chapter in this new collection examines one of the seven core mystical truths.
Organized according to the mystical paths that every worshiper must follow, Rohr identifies the despair of everyday life, promotes opportunities for change even in the face of pain, thereby transforming one's deeper self into a beacon of light that aids in the perpetual metamorphosis of others. Illuminating these insights with reflections on Christian and Jewish scriptures while citing the greatest religious writers throughout the ages, Rohr offers an unparalleled window into the wisdom of the mystics, within a succinct volume that represents the best treasury of his vast library of writing.
First, let me admit something: I'm not crazy about books that anthologize excerpts of writings from other sources. I find such "taken out of context" selections to be jarring to read. But that's just my bias, so I'm recommending What the Mystics Know even though it's that kind of book: sort of a "best of Richard Rohr," at least in terms of his sizable corpus of writings published by Crossroad. Broadly divided into seven categories including enlightenment, imperfection, suffering, paradox, contemplation, truth and transformation, this book gathers together much of Father Richard's easily accessible wisdom — not only on mysticism, but indeed on life in general. If you're not familiar with Rohr, this would be a great starting point; if you already know his work, What the Mystics Know could work beautifully as a daily devotional.

Reading the National Narrative
One reason to take a trip up BC's Inside Passage (see below) is to witness scenes like this.
The vessel was dawdling up Blackfish Sound near the top of Vancouver Island when this adolescent humpback decided to put on a show. It was with us for about half an hour, breeching and fin slapping and generally showing off. Coincidentally (or was it?) we were just passing by Orca...
Relief Stiffs and Straw-Pushes
While preparing to set sail (see below) I've been reading a fascinating account of daily life in the Depression-era government work camps established by the Department of Defence to get single, jobless men off the streets. The book, edited by Peter Neary, collects the correspondence of Alan Collier, a Toronto-born artist who travelled west in search of work in 1934 and ended...
To the Sea in Ships
This space has been quiet of late while I packed up the house I lived in with my family for thirty years and moved to a new base of operations. Buying, selling, moving: stressful times. But they are behind us now.

From Syria, ISIS Slips Into Iraq to Fight Another Day
Cells operating in four northern provinces are carrying out kidnappings, assassinations, and roadside ambushes aimed at intimidating locals and restoring the extortion rackets that financed the group's rise to power six years ago

In this Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019 file photo, a U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces fighter reacts as an airstrike hits territory still held by Islamic State militants in the desert outside Baghouz, Syria. U.S. and Iraqi officials say IS fighters facing defeat in Syria are slipping across the border into Iraq, where they are destabilizing the country's fragile security. Hundreds -- likely more than 1,000 -- IS fighters have crossed the open, desert border in the past six months.
ISIS fighters facing defeat in Syria are slipping across the border into Iraq, where they are destabilizing the country's fragile security, U.S. and Iraqi officials say.
Hundreds — likely more than 1,000 — ISIS fighters have crossed the open, desert border in the past six months, defying a massive operation by U.S., Kurdish, and allied forces to stamp out the remnants of the jihadi group in eastern Syria, according to three Iraqi intelligence officials and a U.S. military official.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on intelligence matters. But indications of the extremist group's widening reach in Iraq are clear.

US Troops on Patrol Killed in Blast in Syria
American troops were killed Wednesday during a patrol in the Northern Syrian town of Manbij, according to the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS. It wasn't immediately clear how many. The attack comes after the U.S. began the process of withdrawing from Syria.
(Published Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019)
"IS is trying to assert itself in Iraq, because of the pressure it is under in Syria," said Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasoul, the Iraqi army spokesman, using an alternate abbreviation for ISIS.
The militants can count between 5,000 and 7,000 among their ranks in Iraq, where they are hiding out in the rugged terrain of remote areas, according to one intelligence official.
In Syria, Kurdish-led forces backed by the U.S.-led coalition have cornered the militants in a pocket less than one square kilometer in Baghouz, a Euphrates River village near the 600-kilometer (370-mile) border.
The Iraqi army has deployed more than 20,000 troops to guard the frontier, but militants are slipping across, mostly to the north of the conflict zone, in tunnels or under the cover of night. Others are entering Iraq disguised as cattle herders.
They are bringing with them currency and light weapons, according to intelligence reports, and digging up money and arms from caches they stashed away when they controlled a vast swath of northern Iraq.
"If we deployed the greatest militaries in the world, they would not be able to control this territory," Rasoul said. "Our operations require intelligence gathering and airstrikes."
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis Out After Syria Withdrawal
President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will retire in February 2019. Mattis submitted a letter to Trump saying the president deserves a secretary of defense with views more close to his on things like alliances and building an international order. The move comes after Trump abruptly announced that U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Syria, where they'd been fighting ISIS.
(Published Thursday, Dec. 20, 2018)
At its height in 2014 and 2015, the Islamic State group ruled over a self-proclaimed "caliphate" that spanned one-third of Iraqi and Syrian territory. The extremist offshoot of Al-Qaida in Iraq threatened to exterminate religious minorities.
Iraqi forces, with U.S., Iranian, and other international help, were able to turn the war around and Baghdad declared victory over the group in December 2017, after the last urban battle had been won.
But precursors to ISIS have recovered from major setbacks in the past, and many fear the militants could stage a comeback. The group is already waging a low-level insurgency in rural areas.
The Associated Press verified nine ISIS attacks in Iraq in January alone, based on information gathered from intelligence officials, provincial leaders, and social media. ISIS often boasts of its activities through group messaging apps such as Telegram.
In one instance, a band of militants broke into the home of a man they accused of being an informant for the army, in the village of Tal al-Asfour in the northern Badush region. They shot him and his two brothers against the wall, and posted photos of the killing on social media.
Sheikh Mohamed Nouri, a local tribal leader, said it was meant to intimidate locals in order to keep them from sharing intelligence with security officials.
A Timeline of Trump and the Syrian Conflict
Donald Trump has voiced strong, and sometimes conflicting, opinions on the United States' role in Syria, even before he became president.
(Published Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2018)
"I have members of our tribal militia receiving threatening messages warning them to abandon their work," said Nouri.
In other instances, ISIS cells have killed mukhtars — village leaders and municipal officials. They have attacked rural checkpoints with car bombs and mortar fire, and burned down militia members' homes. In the Shurgat area in central Iraq, militants stopped a police vehicle last month and killed all four officers inside.
Other activities have aimed at restoring the group's financial footing.
On Sunday, militants kidnapped a group of 12 truffle hunters in the western Anbar province, marking a return to a strategy of intimidating and extorting farmers and traders for financial gain.
Naim Kaoud, the head of provincial security, urged locals to suspend truffle gathering, which has just one season a year and is an important source of income for rural families.
Other truffle hunters have disappeared in the countryside, according to former lawmaker and Anbar tribal figure Jaber al-Jaberi. He said the militants are taking cuts from truffle hunters in exchange for access to the land, and kidnapping or killing those who refuse to cooperate.
Footage From 1992 Shows Trump, Epstein at Party
NBC released footage in its archives from 1992 of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at a party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. The video shows them laughing and pointing as they appear to talk about women at the event, NBC News reported. Trump has said he knew Epstein, but "was not a fan" and they have not spoken in 15 years.
(Published Wednesday, July 17, 2019)
"This is one of the sources of their funding," said al-Jaberi.
Al-Jaberi cautioned against exaggerating the ISIS threat, saying the militants have been less successful at infiltrating communities than they were earlier this decade.
"These are different times," he said.
Marines Demand Congressman Stop Using USMC Emblem
Others are not so sure. Hans-Jakob Schindler, a former adviser to the U.N. Security Council on ISIS and other extremist groups, said the same grievances that gave rise to IS in 2013 remain today, including a large Sunni minority that feels politically and economically marginalized by the Shiite-led central government.
"I'm very worried that we are just repeating history," said Schindler, who is now at the Counter Extremism Project.
He said he has seen ISIS "revert to the old type" of "classical terror attacks" and kidnapping for ransom, tactics that were once widely employed by al-Qaida in Iraq.
Congress Condemns Trump's 'Go Back' Comments
The House of Representatives has passed a resolution that formally condemns President Donald Trump's so-called racist comments about four Democratic congresswomen of color.
The militants staged a dramatic resurgence after 2011, when U.S. forces withdrew from Iraq and civil war broke out in neighboring Syria. Today some 5,200 American forces are based in Iraq, after they were invited back to help stem the ISIS rampage in 2014.
After President Donald Trump promised in December to pull American forces out of Syria, Iraqi lawmakers began clamoring for the U.S. to leave, arguing that the mission against ISIS was approaching its end.
But with no letdown to ISIS militancy, those calls have petered out.

The Steelworkers' Archives is sponsoring Memories of Steel: the Last Cast, a second edition of our 20th anniversary commemoration of the last cast of iron in Bethlehem. Bethlehem's hot end closed on November 18, 1995 with the last cast from the C furnace, ending iron and steel making at the plant.
While the majority of shops stayed open at the Bethlehem mill, the closing of the last blast furnace was a profound event for steelworkers, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and the entire community. This anniversary will be remembered with a panel discussion of steelworkers present on that day and actual video footage of the last cast. In addition, there will be an exhibit of photographs and memorabilia.
Free and open to the public. Free parking available. Free refreshments after the event.
Please register here to reserve your seat.

Under a tight timeframe of just two days, Nike asked WSDIA to design a case for their NFL pro athletes. After brainstorming, sketching, and researching materials and fittings, WSDIA arrived at three directions. The chosen concept, 'Gridiron', was a mix of triangular geometry and battle armor encompassed in duffle bag form. The exterior case was made from dibond/aluco-bond, and the interior cut foam that held the Nike product was custom CNC waterjet cut foam.

Narratives are used to construct and deconstruct the time and space of events. In games, as in real life, narratives add layers of meaning and engage players by enhancing or clarifying content. From an educational perspective, narratives are a semiotic conduit for evoking critical thinking skills and promoting knowledge discovery/acquisition. While narrative is central to Serious Games (SG), the relationships between gameplay, narrative and pedagogy in SG design remain unclear, and narrative's elemental influence on learning outcomes is not fully understood yet. This paper presents a purpose-processing methodology that aims to support the mapping of SG design patterns and pedagogical practices, allowing designers to create more meaningful SGs. In the case of narrative, the intention is to establish whether Narrative Serious Game Mechanics (NSGM) can provide players with opportunities for reasoning and reflective analysis that may even transcend the game-based learning environment.

Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital Opens Innovative and Comprehensive Infusion and Multi-Disciplinary Care Center
Home > News and Events > Mercy Health News > Youngstown > 2018 > April > Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital Opens Innovative and Comprehensive Infusion and Multi-Disciplinary Care Center
Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital cut the ribbon today to the newest and most innovative infusion and multi-disciplinary care center the Valley has to offer. Receiving world-class, compassionate care close to home remains a priority for Mercy Health – Youngstown and today's grand opening celebration reinforces that commitment.
The new Infusion Center and Multi-Disciplinary Care Center located at the St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital campus employs the latest technologies in an environment that focuses on coordination of care for the patient and family.
The Infusion Center will offer chemotherapy and oncology infusions with a full-service, dedicated infusion pharmacy. This allows patients to get their medications and treatments quicker rather than waiting for medications to be mixed elsewhere within the hospital. Additionally, a fast-track lab for blood work, injections and short-duration therapies will also create efficiencies for patients needing minimal therapy or lab work, allowing them to get their treatments and back home, sooner.
"Having care delivered at the right place and at the right time is truly a priority in the way we deliver health care" said Don Koenig, Chief Operating Officer and President of St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. "Having a dedicated lab and pharmacy that can quickly administer medications or assess the current status of a patient, allows us to respond to our patients needs much more efficiently."
The addition of a new, state-of-the-art Multi-Disciplinary Care Center will also provide dedicated clinical space for palliative medicine as well as a hepatobiliary and a lung nodule center – two services that are first to be offered in the Valley.
"We are experiencing an uptick in liver and pancreatic disease in the Valley" said Dr. Thomas Chirichella, Hepatobiliary/Pancreatic Surgeon at Mercy Health – Youngstown. "Having resources, surgical technologies and expertise right here at home, allows us to serve our community in ways we have never been able to before" he said.
Additionally, the Center will be home to the Valley's first Lung Nodule Clinic. Lung nodules are typically benign masses that can result from an infection. However, a small percentage of these nodules are actually early lung cancers, that require immediate action. Nearly 1.5 Million Americans are diagnosed with lung nodules each year. The lung nodule clinic at Mercy Health also partners with the hospitals lung screening program which is a designated Lung Cancer Alliance Screening Center of Excellence that screens hundreds of patients each year through 6 sites across the Valley.
"Having a dedicated center where expert pulmonology care is accessed, will further enhance the comprehensive nature of this new Center", said Vanessa Chamberlain, Lung Nodule Navigator at Mercy Health. "We have many patients that have no other pulmonology issues, therefore they end up waiting weeks to months to see a pulmonologist – now they can be seen within days, resulting in earlier diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
Both the Infusion Center and Multi-Disciplinary Care Center will officially welcome its first patients on Monday, April 9. Mercy Health – Youngstown is committed to building a healthier Mahoning Valley and remaining true to our Mission of extending our healing ministry.
