I swore I'd never go home again.
With nothing more than a few boxes and a beat up truck, I left behind my old life at the tender age of eighteen to pursue my medical career.
Twelve years later, I find myself traveling back to the sandy shores of that North Carolina town where my late father has left me his medical practice. Coming here means facing my past… My memories… And her—Molly McIntyre.
Growing up, Molly had been my entire world, first as a childhood friend and then so much more. We'd made promises to each other back then. Promises I broke when I walked away. And now that I'm back? Well, let's just say she's not exactly the head of my welcoming committee. But even she can't deny the undeniable spark that still burns so brightly between us and soon, we're tumbling fast and hard into the past.
But I need to keep my eyes set to the future, because mine isn't here in this dead end town. Not anymore.
All Molly has ever known is here, on this small island. Could I really ask her to give it all up? For me? If I walk away again, will she follow?
So, I have a confession. I've known about J.L. Berg for a very long time. Like 5 years of a long time. I even own some of her books. But I am ashamed to say, I had never read one of them until now.
And, I think I picked a humdinger to pop my J.L. Berg cherry.
This book had me from the beginning. And honestly, I was anticipating the rest of the series before I was halfway through with this book. All of the characters were captivating and had me wanting to know their stories. Especially Dean.
I was back and forth with Jake and Molly the whole time. Will they/Won't they? Yes/No? The push and pull was torturous. And absolutely wonderful.
I only had one issue, I would've like to see what Jake and Molly were doing individually during their time apart. Just so I could see what made them come to their final decisions.
All in all, I enjoyed it immensely, and could not wait to dive into the second book in this series.

This truck is making sure the homeless have clean clothes
This truck is making sure the homeless have clean laundry
By: Kumasi Aaron
Riley Cockrell is on a mission to get 30 loads of laundry washed inside a tiny truck for all the people who have lined up outside it.
"We serve seven to eight locations a week, so it ends up being a whole lot of laundry every week," Cockrell says.
This is the Laundry Truck, a mobile laundry service providing free washer and dryer service for people experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty. Bayaud Enterprises owns one of two mobile laundry units.
The company raised $80,000 for each of the two trucks through philanthropy.
"There are a lot of people who just need their clothes washed, whether it's to prepare for a job interview or to sort of fight the stigma that comes with homelessness," Cockrell, who is Laundry Truck's operations manager, says.
Bayaud created the first first mobile laundry truck in the US.
One person lined up outside the truck is a guy named Joseph Viera, who has been making do with just two sets of clothes.
"Basically, you just take a shower and stay clean try not to sweat during the day and just live," says Viera, who is homeless.
Clean clothes give him confidence and dignity, he says.
"They have appointments they may need to make. They've got counselors they're working with a lot of times. You know, they're dealing with the shelter system," says Cockrell.
Something as simple as clean laundry can be vital.
And with trucks like these popping up around the country, they're a small way to make a big impact.
"Clean clothes is something that provides a lot of dignity for people who are living in temporary housing or shelters or living outside on the streets," Cockrell says. "And being able to feel your best as you try to move forward in your life is really, really important."

New Year, new you? That's how it seems to go, isn't it? The start of a new year is often when people feel they're most motivated to do whatever it is they've been putting off…losing the weight, mending the relationship, saving the money, losing the alcohol…a new year means new opportunity. Just take a look around at all the advertisements offering to help you shed the old and bring in the new. There's a new trend entering the first of the year: Sober January, Sober New Year that goes along with the mantra of creating a new you.
'Twas The Season But Now What?
And there are lots of reasons that we feel that way. The holiday parties are over and much of the temptation to 'let go,' and 'indulge,' has turned into regret and inspiration for living healthier and happier. It makes sense, really, and more and more as retailers focus on our temptations, we start taking a look at how we're living this life we've been given.
Sobriety For A Month A Fad?
This new trend of spending the first year of the month sober seems to be picking up speed. More and more people are finding that 'taking a break,' from drinking during the month of January brings them so much more than they thought it could. Ultimately, many decide to live a life of sobriety from that decision to start with a month. The concept of DRY January is well-known in Great Britain and seems to be picking up speed as it crosses the pond to America. Believe it or not, it can even be traced back to the Finnish government in 1942 when they launched a campaign called "Sober January," as part of their war efforts.
The beginning of a new year seems to be just the right time to attempt a Sober January too. According to a survey conducted by Alcohol.org, women associate New Year's Eve as the holiday they drink the most, and while men find St. Patrick's Day their booziest, they spend their fair share of dollars during the holidays. The average American spends anywhere between $550-$1000 a year on alcohol purchases. Making a decision to try a month dry is one that makes financial sense, particularly when many are coming off the financial expenditures the winter holidays lay heavily upon us.
Additionally, taking a break from drinking can make a big difference in your health too. A small, informal study was conducted by the staff of New Scientist in which employees participated in DRY January. Of 14 participants, all who considered themselves to be 'normal' drinkers, ten abstained from alcohol for the entire month. They were physically examined before and after the abstinence and what they found was shocking. Liver fat fell up to 20% in the abstainers, and this is significant as that's a precursor to liver damage. Blood sugar levels dropped dramatically (good news for those predispositioned or otherwise to Diabetes) and total blood cholesterol (which plays a pivotal role in heart disease) dropped as well.
What Would A Sober You Look Like?
So what could happen if you felt that you drank more than an 'average' drinker? What if you've thought a DRY January might be something beneficial for you because you're concerned you may be drinking more than you should. What if your motivation to consider a dry month was because you're concerned that your relationships are suffering because of your alcohol intake? Or your budget? Or your health? Are you considering trying out what an alcohol-free month would look like on you? How it would make a difference in your life for a month? What about if you wonder what it would look like for longer? Forever?
If so, you're not alone. Many people have found that the freedom and health they found in their DRY month gave them better relationships, better mental focus, more manageable weights, better immunity and reduced disease risks. Most importantly, they found that that fear of struggling with alcohol was no longer a fear, but an overcome obstacle that they considered triumph.
There's no shame in admitting you may be someone who struggles with alcohol dependence or addiction, but it is such a shame if you continue to feel alone. The reality is that you're not, and contacting Ocean Hills Recovery could be the first step to you finding your motivation to stay sober and healthy for a lifetime, not just a month.
The staff at Ocean Hills cares about you as an individual. Our mission is to help you so dependence and addiction don't have to steal any more of your life. Our experienced staff will walk with you through a proven and individualized program that can be 30, 60 or 90-days, and our years of experience employ evidence-based psychotherapy and twelve-step programs that will bring you the freedom, health and happiness that a sober life has waiting for you.
Don't make yourself wait for a new year to be a new you. The staff at Ocean Hills Recovery knows the right time for the new you is right now, and we're anxiously waiting to compassionately lead you there.
If you've never sought treatment before or even if you have and you may be in a relapse, Ocean Hills Recovery can help you get back to the life you should be living. We're ready to help make not just a new year, but a new you. Doesn't that sound nice? A happy, healthy, sober you for 2019—and beyond!

Home / Destinations / Zambia / Lusaka
A relatively young and lively capital, Lusaka took over the mantle of Zambia's principle city from the former seat of power, Livingstone, back in 1935 – when the country was once part of the British colony known as Northern Rhodesia.
Chosen because of its well-connected location in the southern part of the central plateau, and for its relatively (for central Africa) cool climate, Lusaka sits at an altitude of 1,300m and has grown to become the country's largest city – a sprawling, rather chaotic metropolis covering 70 square kilometres and home to some 2 million people, one-tenth of the nation's population. The University of Zambia is also located in the city.
While Zambia is well-known for its spectacular natural wonders, traffic-choked Lusaka is not high on the list of must-see attractions. That said, it is undeniably cosmopolitan, a city with a strong and palpable heartbeat, and for the open-minded traveller it's worth exploring – with your wits about you – especially if keen to get a little further under the country's skin.
While there are good, if rather soulless international hotels here, decent restaurants and an interesting national museum, this is not a destination with obvious cultural treasures. So, perhaps the best mindset for enjoying Lusaka is to just people watch and take pleasure in meeting the locals – be it at one of the hectic local markets, at the more leisurely botanical gardens, riding a minibus, joining the fans at a football match or simply sharing your travellers' tales over a Rhino beer in one of Lusaka's many local bars.
Landlocked and bordered in the north by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania, to the east by Malawi, in the south by Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, and to the west by Angola, Zambia is located between southern and equatorial Africa, and as such is something of both.

No homem, é constituída por dois ossos:
o sacro que é resultado da soldadura de cinco vértebras grandes, que articula com a última vértebra da região lombar e também serve de articulação para o ilíaco; e
o cóccix é formado pela soldadura das últimas quatro vértebras.

Nos vertebrados com cauda (com exceção das aves, que têm a anatomia desta região semelhante aos bípedes), esta é formada pela maior parte das vértebras desta região

Get to Know the Greek Word "Philotimo"
Home > Greek Culture > Ancient Greek Histo… > Get to Know the…
Written by GreekBoston.com in Ancient Greek History Comments Off on Get to Know the Greek Word "Philotimo"
Most Greeks know exactly what Philotimo is even if they haven't actually heard the word. The principals of Philotimo are strongly ingrained in every Greek person's upbringing. Families instill the values of this word from a very young age, and the principals are closely tied to what it truly means to be Greek.
So what is Philotimo exactly? It can be a challenge to articulate exactly what it is because it is a word that has no direct translations in any language. Rather, the ideas encapsulate a system of beliefs. Here's some insight as to what this word really means:
Definition of Philotimo
Wikipedia translates Philotimo as "love of honor" but most who are familiar with this word in Greek know that this definition is an oversimplification and therefore slightly misses the mark. Literally speaking, this definition is fairly accurate because "Philo" is one of the Greek words for love and "timo" means honor. However, combining these two words together creates an entirely new concept.
Greeks would explain that this word describes the very essence of what it means to be Greek. Children are often taught the principals of Philotimo when being reprimanded for bad behavior. Certain behaviors are seen as shameful and families are often completely dishonored when their children misbehaved. In other words, when you act poorly, you not only bring shame upon yourself, but also shame upon your whole family.
The reverse is also true where if someone behaves honorably, the whole family is lifted up in the eyes of the Greeks because of their actions. The ultimately goal of Philotimo is to express a love of behaving honorably. However, even that doesn't quite capture it's essence (although it does come somewhat close).
Examples of Philotimo in Action
There are a few noteworthy examples of times when Greeks showed what Philotimo really means. Since this is a word that is truly hard to define and explain, it might help to be shown some examples. Here's a look at some of the standouts:
Battle of Thermopylae
Ultimately, everyone who fought on the side of the Spartans that day thought that there was a possibility that they were doomed. However, they also knew in their hearts that fighting this battle against the mighty Persian Empire was the right thing to do. This battle enabled the Athenians to gather their navy and execute a brilliant strategy that would ultimately cause the Greeks to win the war. On the flip side, the Greek man who betrayed the Spartans' to the enemy by showing a secret pathway into the Thermopylae pass displayed a lack of Philotimos so intense that he is forever shamed.
Story of Oxi Day
The Greeks fought an important battle during World War II on the island of Crete. Although the Greeks ultimately lost and then became occupied by the Germans, they wouldn't waiver in the idea that resisting German occupation was the right thing to do. When the Axis Powers asked Metaxas if they could enter the country without a fight, he resisted and refused to let them in.
The Greeks fought hard, and they nearly won the battle. More importantly, for the first time during World War II, a country refused to give into the German's demands! Because they steadfastly refused to give into the Axis Powers, they inspired the world. Winston Churchill famously said that, "Hence, we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks." The Greeks upheld the ideology of Philotimo and inspired the Allies, who eventually won the war, in the process.
As you can see, the principals of Philotimo are deeply ingrained in the Greek psyche. It is also an ancient concept and can be traced to Ancient Greek philosophers and writers, such as Thales and Plato. Greeks are simply expected to act in this honorable way, no matter what.

Illinois: Kirk Move Sets Up Two Competitive Races
By Shira Toeplitz
Posted July 8, 2009 at 6:01pm
Rep. Mark Kirk (R) began telling supporters on Wednesday that he will run for Senate in 2010, setting up what is expected to be a blockbuster contest and also touching off a highly competitive open-seat race to succeed him.
Kirk's move followed news that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) had decided to seek re-election rather than running for Senate or governor in 2010.
National and state Republicans are expected to quickly coalesce behind Kirk, a moderate who was first elected to the House in 2000. Kirk is a prodigious fundraiser, and he has already amassed more than $1 million in his re-election account, which he can transfer to a Senate campaign. He recently announced he had raised $580,000 in the second quarter of the year.
Democrats, meanwhile, appear headed toward a bloody primary fight, which already includes state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and Chicago Urban League President Cheryle Jackson. Plus, businessman Chris Kennedy is expected to enter the race in the coming weeks. Sen. Roland Burris, who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama's unexpired term, hasn't indicated his plans but is unlikely to run again for a full term in 2010.
Kirk's decision also ensures that the open-seat race to replace him in the 10th district will be among the most competitive of the cycle. The district favors Democrats, who will no doubt go all out to win the North Shore Chicago seat.
Marketing consultant Dan Seals (D), who lost to Kirk in 2006 and 2008, is all but certain to enter the race now. State Sen. Michael Bond (D) has already announced that he is running. State Sen. Susan Garrett (D) has also been mentioned as a possible candidate.
Among Republicans, state Rep. Beth Coulson, a 13-term state legislator, is likely to consider the race. However, Coulson is considered to be even more politically moderate than Kirk on some issues — which would be a problem in a contested GOP primary.
Businessman Dick Green is also interested in running, according to local Republican sources.

Anonymous 'Wizard of Oz' Fan Offers $1 Million Reward for Stolen Ruby Slippers
Alyssa Buffenstein, July 14, 2015

Ten years after their theft, an anonymous Wizard of Oz superfan still feels like there's no place like home for a missing pair of ruby slippers. The anonymous Arizona donor is offering a $1 million reward for information about the slippers' whereabouts and the name of the thief.
The sequined slippers were stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they were on display temporarily on a loan from private collector Michael Shaw.
Breaking into the museum through a window, the thief was on a very specific mission: he stole just the ruby slippers.
The stolen ruby slippers were one of five estimated remaining pairs from the movie set.

"It's the worst nightmare for me," Shaw told the Guardian back in 2005. "The theft is not only a crime against me, but against children. Those shoes have been used to raise money for AIDS, for helping get kids off the street, reading programs, and for children with Down's syndrome and autism," he lamented.
Ten years after their theft, however, the slippers are still missing. They were insured for $1 million, the amount the anonymous donor is offering up in exchange for information, but, in light of recent auctions and museums dedicated to movie memorabilia, the missing slippers are now estimated to be worth closer to $2 million–3 million.

I had a vision for dramatically transforming a room through a bold and unconventional use of wall color. But applying the color would be challenging and I knew it could only be done by an experienced professional painter.
"First do the prep work.
- Prepare the walls by patching holes and sanding rough spots.
- Protect the floors and furnishings from dust and paint splatters. Use plastic to minimize cleanup.
- Prepare the ceiling and trim to paint perfect edges, especially when you have dramatic colors changes. I use 3M Clean Edge blue tape. Take your time and be patient. It takes practice, skill and the right tools to create clean, hand-cut edges.
"Next choose the right paint.
- For this project, Lisa wanted the black color to have some shine so we used semi gloss paint. Semi and high gloss paints are difficult to apply, show roller lines and any wall imperfections in the wall. However, once dry they are more durable and easier to clean. Flat paints do not clean well and would not have been a good choice for the fireplace wall.
- Select good quality paint because you get what you pay for. Without getting into chemical properties, the more expensive paints are easier to apply. They do not sag or run as they're applied. Their finish is harder and more durable. Primer is usually not necessary if using two coats of quality paint. And good paint doesn't smell."
Thanks to Keith my vision for a dramatic transformation is complete using a bold color choice shown below.
If you're having trouble choosing wall color, go to my earlier blog post. Prepared? Paint selected? Then you're ready to start painting!

Deadmau5 continues to push the limits of stage design with his unforgettable cube stage design. While streaming on Twitch and tinkering with TouchDesigner, Joel decided to give viewers a teaser of the fully built Cube 3.0! Compared to the previous Cube 2.0 design, there seem to be a few changes. In the video below, you can see that the cube displays the height and width of 384 ft. It's clearly a huge display, especially knowing that it will have its first debut at Ultra this year.
As detailed oriented at Deadmau5 is, there is a ton of work put into this production. Cube 2.0 required up to three computers to run, so who knows how much more Joel will need to make sure everything will run smoothly. This will be one of the most anticipated shows for this year's Ultra, and everyone should be counting down the days to see this production firsthand.
Early displays of Cube 3.0 were shown on the stream last month, adding to the excitement of what will be shown at Ultra. With a month left until the event, there's still time for some adjustments and changes. However, the likelihood that the potential for major change is thin. If you weren't able to get to watch the stream, give the clip below a watch – it just might satisfy your needs till the debut.

Music streaming giant Spotify has recently announced that they will be opening a small satellite office in Detroit. The New York-based business is scheduled to rent an office space at 132 N. Old Woodward Ave., which intersects with Maple Road in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham. Talk about plain and simple!
It has been speculated that a mere five to seven employees will work within the office inside a nondescript two-story building.
As Canadians gear up to celebrate Canada Day, July 1st will also now be pegged as the opening date for the official launch. Although Canadians will be busy unwrapping fireworks, it can be assumed that Spotify employees will be unpacking boxes at that time.
A representative for the well-known company suggested that they are expecting to grow beyond the Birmingham area. This is in addition to the nearly $3 million a month that the business pays for a dozen floors atop the World Trade Center.
It is still unclear as to why the company has opened the office in the Birmingham area. It has been speculated that it may be a sales office for local advertising.
Following the somewhat shocking news, Jack White has opened several Third Man Record stores in the city. In addition, the musician has recently opened the Third Man Pressing Plant.
Although Spotify focuses on the digital music, the Third Man Facility has helped make modern advancements within the vinyl market. Ultimately, this creates a curious contrast between the two. The classic vinyl format will always seem to be the popular choice. However, one would be surprised to know that the two are often intertwined.
Regardless of the reason behind the decision, we look forward to seeing the overall progressions within the company.

With heavy-hitting collaborations getting churned out left and right, Brazilian DJ Alok wanted to get in on the action. In his most recent Facebook post, Alok teases a new song with some big name players: Armin van Buuren and Vini Vici. In addition, the song will feature the vocals of Zafrir. With this teaser, it appears Alok is taking a dive back into his trance roots. The song is picking up steam in his live shows, and appears to be a festival moment waiting to happen.
He posted the short clip with the headline "Earthquake in America!" With the backing of top tier artists like AvB and Vini Vici, it would be a surprise not to hear this track frequently during Summer festival season.
What do you think of this powerhouse team up?

Say hello to LMBO. Classically trained multi-instrumentalist and singer duo LMBO release their debut single "Fake It". In this vibrant bass tune, the group tip toes the line between the light and the dark. From the melodies to the mixing, the record was an internal work and even features the groups own vocals. Music personally helps them find solace in indeterminacy and they aim to provide that outlet for others. The single is the first in a string of releases coming in the next couple of months and if you enjoy what you are hearing now, just wait till the next one.

Light at Seances is a letter written by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Daily Express No. 8313 on 16 december 1926.
Sir, — Dr. Mayo, in his criticism of seances, does not seem to be aware that in many cases the medium can be so developed that a fairly bright red light may be used. In my sitting with Jonson, of Los Angeles, for example, where I saw fifteen materialisaitions in one evening, the medium sat outside the cabinet and the room was so far illuminated that one could see every sitter in the circle quite distinctly. D. D. Home, the most famous of all physical mediums, always sat in a subdued light. Otherwise I agree with Dr. Mayo that our critical faculties are curtailed by darkness, though 95 per cent. is surely a gross exaggeration. What has influenced my own mind in Spiritualism and furnished the most cogent proofs are the messages, which are, of course, quite independent of light.

Yet another car we have bought from DD Motors due to excellent customer service, honesty, quality and good pricing. Always happy to help and no pressure sales.
I bought a BMW 535. Awesome car. Very pleased with the service. Cars priced right and very clean. Fully recommend.
Best customer service I have ever received. Greeted by Darren when we arrived and shown around the car any questions we had was answered and then we was left to look around the car with no hassle. The car was exactly as it was described and after a test drive we bought the car. Very fast and reliable service we will be recommending DD Motors to all are family and friends.
We called to arrange to go and see the car (Mercedes a200 AMG), directions were easy and straight forward. Upon arriving to see the car Darren showed us around it and talked us through some of the specifics and the left us to have a good look ourselves. We then took a lengthy test drive on our own never feeling under pressure to get back or make a decision right then and there. I much preferred this selling style, as pushy salesmen which are joined at the hip are a hinderence. After we returned in the car and went back into the office Darren was very helpful with any further questions that we had. After deciding to buy the car and part exchanging our own car everything was plain sailing. I can't say in all my years I have I had a smoother car purchase than the one at DD Motors NW. Darren could simply not do enough for us and was fair every step of the way. Writing this review I can say honestly say I would definitely buy from Darren again and also recommend him to my friends.
My experience with DD MOTORS NW was excellent from start to finish. Really pleased with my lovely Audi . Darren was very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend DD MOTORS NW to my friends and family.
Excellent customer service. Car was exactly how it was advertised if not better. Very fast no hassle service. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Q: Firebase Cloud Messaging : Expiration of FCM token I understand that the FCM token renews itself if one of the following happens.
-The app deletes Instance ID
-The app is restored on a new device
-The user uninstalls/reinstall the app
-The user clears app data.
The following can be used at the App side to monitor Token renewal.

Monitor token generation
The onTokenRefreshcallback fires whenever a new token is generated, so
  calling getToken in its context ensures that you are accessing a
  current, available registration token. Make sure you have added the
  service to your manifest, then call getToken in the context of
  onTokenRefresh, and log the value as shown:

@Override
public void onTokenRefresh() {
    // Get updated InstanceID token.
    String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
    Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken);

    // If you want to send messages to this application instance or
    // manage this apps subscriptions on the server side, send the
    // Instance ID token to your app server.
    sendRegistrationToServer(refreshedToken);
}

My question is, when the app is terminated, the token expires and there is no way for the FCM server to know what the new token is for the device (if exist). So when I send a notification/data message to this device, the server fails to send it to the device as it doesn't know where to send it to (as there is no valid token). How do I make sure that in such situations I can notify the device ? I dont do a customer token generation. So the it seems to refresh the token now and then. How do I increase the validity of my token ?

A: You will need to check for an error when sending the message, and pay attention to the error codes, as listed in the documentation.  You should stop using the token if you get the error messaging/registration-token-not-registered.

IPO – Initial Public Offering
Initial Public Offering is done, when a company wants to public for the first time for raising capital and then get traded in any stock exchange.

Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dentist examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for gum disease or change.

Home/Local Turkey/Turkey enters second phase of fight against COVID-19
Turkey enters second phase of fight against COVID-19
Success in diagnosis, treatment prove Turkey has pandemic under control, says Turkish health minister
Turkey has completed the first phase of its struggle against the novel coronavirus, the country's health minister said on Wednesday.
The results of efforts to counter the virus, as well as success in diagnosis and treatment in the country, has proved that Turkey has the pandemic under control, Fahrettin Koca told reporters after the virtual meeting of Coronavirus Advisory Board in the capital Ankara.
Describing the new phase with loosened restrictions as "controlled social life," Koca said: "The outbreak is under control but the realities on the virus have not changed."

"Our home remains the safest environment against the virus," he stressed.
The coronavirus threat has not disappeared yet, Koca said. "This is possible by the isolation and treatment of the final [coronavirus] case."
The official underscored that the new phase is not a "typical normalization period in the sense we know."
"The risk continues," he said. "Losing the control will be an invitation for a second wave. We have seen this in many countries.
"In this new period, we will not decrease but increase our test capacity. We will detect the cases early," he said, adding that the regular scans in public places will be made.
Touching on measures that will come in the second phase of coronavirus battle, Koca underlined that there is no decision yet to open restaurants and cafes in Turkey and they will continue to be closed until further notice.
On March 16, Turkish government announced that all bars, restaurants, cafes, wedding venues, movie theaters, and indoor children's play areas were closing.
Koca also stressed that guides will be published about the new controlled social life and the rules that need to be followed in working places, saying: "Everyone will not be able to go to the shopping malls as before, a certain number of people will not be indoors."
A pill called Remdesivir, which has been used in the US for a while and has born successful results, was used for 400 patients in Turkey and the country plans to use it in the coming days, according to the top health official.
On Wednesday, Koca said the number of intensive care unit patients and those on ventilators continued to drop, with a total of 78,202 patients in Turkey having recovered so far from the coronavirus.
COVID-19 cases have been reported in 187 countries and regions since it emerged in China last December, with the US and Europe now the hardest-hit areas.
The pandemic has killed over 258,200 worldwide, with total infections over 3.69 million, while recoveries surpassed 1.21 million, according to figures compiled by the US' Johns Hopkins University.

The format of paper may seem like an unnecessary extra step to you, but it is actually very important to give your essay some structure. It is also crucial because without it you may get points docked off your otherwise very well written essay.
Never begin a paper without writing an outline first. This should include an outline measure of the format of the paper, and then it should include all the ideas, characters, and twists in the story and where and when do you want to include them while staying within the format of the paper. The outline is like laying a foundation for the rest of your assignment.
You should never stray away from your point of view from which you started writing the narrative paper. An article is too short to hold different points of view at once, though you may have read books with multiple ones. It is best to stick with just one POV with your paper and keep it simple and free from confusion for your teacher.
The protagonist of your narration is likely already established as the narrator of the events. It is then important that after introducing the important characters, you also establish who the antagonist among them is. The antagonist of the narration is very important because not only does he or she add twists to the story, but they also help the reader to understand the character of the protagonist as well.
Once all the details, themes, and characters of your essay have been nailed down, and you have perfectly written down the paper according to the format and your outline, it is then time to go over the paper and see if any revisions are needed. It is imperative to your paper and its format that you go over it with a fine tooth comb and ensure that there is nothing that you are missing, which could end up washing away all your hard work.
Formatting your narrative paper, or any paper for that matter, is a tedious and boring task. However, if you incorporate it in during the establishing of the outline and rough draft, then it would seem like much less of a hassle.

McLaughlin retires after three decades
Jacob Barker
A lot has changed since Keith McLaughlin first started making Small Business Administration loans.
"Used to be you could wait as much as six months to get a loan done through SBA," he said. "Today, we could get a loan done in a couple weeks."
Back when few lenders wanted to mess with the program, McLaughlin saw a need and a niche. For three decades at three banks and his own brokerage, he was the man to talk to if you wanted to start a business. Now, the 75-year-old who helped Bank of Missouri break into the Columbia market by building its reputation as an SBA lender is ready to retire.
"I've tried to retire a couple times, and" Bank of Missouri Columbia market President David "Keller said, 'No, you don't need to retire just yet,' " McLaughlin said.
This time it's for real, and McLaughlin will finally step away from small business lending Nov. 1. He takes with him numerous awards from the SBA, which often ranks Bank of Missouri near or at the top for SBA loans issued in its St. Louis region. Dennis Melton, the SBA's St. Louis district director, called him "one of the best."
"I hate to see Keith go because he has been so instrumental, not just to our program, but for entrepreneurs in the Boone County area," Melton said.
Scott Schultz, a co-owner of Providence Urgent Care, said he probably owes McLaughlin "more than anyone else in the city." When Schultz wanted to start the urgent care clinic in 2009, capital for a new business being founded by former emergency room physicians and not people with experience in business scared most lenders away. "Those red flags just sent everyone else for the hills," Schultz said.
McLaughlin, though, "was one of the few guys who sat down and listened to our business plan," he said.
McLaughlin actually started his career with MFA Inc., spending 17 years with its retail division in the '60s and '70s before hearing about the SBA's lending programs. It was 1980, a big drought year, and the SBA set up a disaster recovery office in the area and needed workers.
The SBA's loan program seemed like it was needed, he said, and no one wanted to spend time learning and the hassle of dealing with the government. Since small businesses and startups often have little or no collateral to back a loan, he saw the need for a government guarantee that would encourage banks to lend based on future revenue and the quality of management.
He turned his expertise into his own small business, America's Business Brokers, which he operated from 1983 to 1997 packaging SBA loans for banks. Keller, at the time the regional head of Union Planters, used McLaughlin's firm often. "He got so good at it, I ended up having to hire him," Keller said.
McLaughlin stayed at Union Planters after it was acquired by Regions Bank and Keller left in 2004. The next year, Keller, who had since joined Perryville-based Bank of Missouri, asked McLaughlin to help him get the bank established in Columbia.
"David was the only banker who walked into my door and sat down and said, 'We're serious about small business lending,' " McLaughlin said.
Since then, McLaughlin has set up Bank of Missouri's SBA offices at its other branches, and helped it stay at the top for SBA loan volume. Karin Bell, the vice president of the SBA division, will take over for McLaughlin when he retires.
This article was published in the Sunday, July 14, 2013 edition of the Columbia Daily Tribune with the headline "SBA loan pioneer steps down: McLaughlin retires after three decades."

"One Story at a Time"
Short for Amazing Grace and that describes her to a T! She's a tribute to the abuse she survived when she came to us. Gracie was on the "slaughter line" meaning she was going to be sold for meat because she was too temperamental and didn't appear to like people or other horses. She was briefly used as a barrel horse but that was short-lived as she was difficult to control. They tried to breed her but that failed as well as she broke through a board fence, tearing her front shoulder open in the process.
Sadly this meant she was off to auction. Like many of our patients, Gracie's responses were difficult to deal with and nobody really wanted to invest the time and effort it would take to heal what was wrong. At the end of the day, simply accepting her for who she is has made all the difference in the world.
If you can believe it, Gracie is now our top therapy horse! Endlessly patient and calm with the people she works with.
It matters not to her if you take all day to accomplish what you're trying to do as I think she knows that healing takes time and some steps are tougher than others.
She is also our "boss mare". That is the matriarch of the herd who watches over everyone to keep them safe. This is common herd dynamics.
If you can believe it, Gracie is now our top therapy horse! Endlessly patient and calm with the people she works with.It matters not to her if you take all day to accomplish what you're trying to do as I think she knows that healing takes time and some steps are tougher than others.
Missy is our oldest horse. She was bought for a young girl who rode her for a season and then quickly lost interested. Unfortunately Missy was abandoned in her stall, much like those Christmas puppies that end up in shelters by February.
Like Gracie, Missy was also used as a barrel horse so she had a lot to learn when we taught her English riding. Being a show horse just wasn't her thing so we decided to use her as a therapy horse and she has been thriving ever since.
Miss has the most success with our psychotic and bipolar patients. She is a very gentle girl for new riders on our equestrian team as well!
Memphis, an Egyptian Arab, is a rare breed that came to us after being abandoned as a foal after a family divorce. The foster family that took him in was unable to cope with this breed's temperament. It didn't help that he was unable to fit in with their herd of horses, which led him to become scared and confused.
It took Memphis a year to get comfortable with humans again and even more time to decide that giving someone a ride on his back was an ok thing. He is by far our most sensitive horse during therapy sessions particularly with those suffering from anxiety, self-esteem issues, lack of confidence and grief.
Peppy, aka Geronimo is a retired hunter/jumper pony who now lives out his days grazing on pastures and giving pony rides, but Peppy did not start his life as such a success. Peppy spent his early years leased to a barn as a kid's lesson horse in order to earn his keep. When it turned out he was too "green" (unexperienced) to be used as a lesson horse his original owner was forced to sell him to slaughter, because she couldn't afford to keep him. Luckily for him he was bought for a young girl that was determined not to give up on him, no matter how many times he threw her off in tears. With training, patience and the love of a little girl, Peppy became a successful show pony soaring over 3-foot fences in the jumper ring. Due to his small size he tends to be the favorite for our smaller participants.
Preacher was abandoned in a makeshift pen in the southern Idaho desert after his owner was sentenced to jail time on unrelated charges. He and another horse were found penned in a remote spot in the middle of summer with no food, water or shelter. A hiker spotted the horses and they were rescued just in the nick of time. Preacher was then taken to a volunteer horse rescue facility that could not afford to feed him or provide for his veterinary needs. He came to us as an Eventer prospect, but has found his place in life as a pleasure riding horse and our tallest and goofiest therapy horse. If he were a human he's be the class clown as he is always playing around and seems to actually chuckle at times!
Rusty is an Arabian and American Quarter horse cross who has one of the sweetest dispositions on the farm. While he tends to be bottom of the totem pole, he's just happy to be part of the herd. Rusty started out his life very much alone and neglected until he was moved into our farm. He has slowly become a more sociable horse but still enjoys his alone time hanging out around the herd.

A new exhibit called Whirring Lathes, Dulcet Tones: Woodwind Making in Early 19th-Century Connecticut and New York will open on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, at Yale's Collection of Musical Instruments.
Twenty-six woodwind instruments are on display, including flageolets, fifes, a piccolo, flutes, clarinets, and a bassoon.
The most unusual instrument featured in the exhibit is a bass clarion (a bass clarinet in the shape of a bassoon) made by Uzal Miner after a design that his mentor George Catlin patented in the early 1800s.
The instruments come from the workshops of Edward Riley (New York City), George Catlin (Hartford), Uzal Miner (Hartford), John Meacham, Jr. (Hartford and Albany), Asa Hopkins (Litchfield), Benjamin & Munger (New Haven), and Firth, Hall, and Pond (New York City and Litchfield).
Enhancing the displays of instruments are period portraiture, genre scenes, newspaper advertisements, instrument tutors, and instruction books. Facsimiles of engravings enable viewers to see what kind of lathes were used in the turning of woodwinds at this time. Actual wood samples acquaint viewers with the different species of woods that were favored by makers: boxwood, satinwood, rosewood, cocuswood, ebony, and maple.

The exhibit was organized by Susan E. Thompson, a curator of the Collection. Thompson was assisted by three museum interns, two of whom are recent graduates of the School of Music, and one who will graduate this spring: Bethany Wiese '10 MM, Scott Holben '10 MM, and Ian Petruzzi '12 MM.
Monica Ong Reed, the School's Design Manager, carried out the design of the forthcoming exhibit catalogue; Hal Schwartz of Yale's Printing and Production Services will oversee its production.
Whirring Lathes, Dulcet Tones will remain on view until June 29, 2012.
The Yale Collection of Musical Instruments is located at 15 Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven. Visiting hours are Tuesday–Friday, 1:00–4:00 pm, and Sunday, 1:00–5:00 pm, September through June. Admission is free.
