Changes in Racing Medication Protocol Recommended as Corticosteroid Experts Advise Requiring Withdrawal Time Before Racing
The following announcement contains specific medical information regarding the use of a group of compounds known as "corticosteroids". While these statements refer to recommendations that have not been adopted (and may not be adopted) by individual racing commissions around the United States, this is important information that will affect how horses are prepared for racing in states or jurisdictions that do adopt these guidelines.
Racehorses are commonly injected in their fetlocks ("ankles"), although almost any joint that shows inflammation might be evaluated for injection. One of the compounds commonly injected is a form of corticosteroid which may vary from vet to vet, as they have personal preferences. ("Living x-ray" fetlock education aid is actually plastinated tissue prepared by Dr C. Von Horst of HC Biovision in Germany, sold by Hoofcare Publishing/hoofblog.com)
Background: corticosteroids are a class of powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that are injected into a horse's fetlocks, coffin joints, hocks, etc., depending on the site of lameness and type of inflammation. They allow localized treatment of the condition but have been viewed as controversial by critics, and necessary by advocates.
Please read a background explanation of the use of corticosteroids for equine lameness on the website of Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine Orthopedic Research Center and authored by Dr. Wayne McIlwraith.
To insure the accuracy of this article, it is being printed verbatim:
The Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC) recently approved minimum withdrawal time recommendations for corticosteroids. These recommendations were based on recently completed work funded in-part by RMTC and conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, University of California-Davis Kenneth L. Maddy Laboratory and HFL Laboratory-Kentucky and other corticosteroid research conducted both in the U.S. and abroad.
The recommendations were developed during an RMTC hosted Corticosteroid Experts Conference in Anaheim, California, on November 30. The meeting brought together qualified individuals with professional expertise in key areas with the goal of providing a comprehensive plan for regulating corticosteroid use in horse racing to protect equine health and welfare. Participants included analytical chemists, veterinary pharmacologists, veterinary surgeons, racing regulatory veterinarians, and practicing racetrack veterinarians.
Among the recommendations was a prohibition on intra-articular use of corticosteroids within 7 days of a race.
"This recommendation takes into consideration the concerns expressed by many participants at the conference about the proximity of intra-articular injections to race day," said RMTC Executive Director Dr. Dionne Benson.
The experts also recommended a 72-hour withdrawal time for dexamethasone, a commonly used short-acting corticosteroid that can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly and orally. Other short-acting corticosteroids would have similar restrictions.
"These recommendations represent the work of a number of laboratories and veterinarians both here in the U.S. and overseas," said Benson. "This work was supported across the industry through funds contributed to the RMTC for research as well as the experts' time. Without the industry's commitment, these recommendations would not be possible."
The group recognized that the recommendations will fundamentally change the use of corticosteroids and veterinary practice in racing. Accordingly, the group recommended that these changes be accompanied by a grace period to allow veterinarians time to adjust their veterinary practices and to allow trainers time to adjust their training practices to comply with the new regulations.
"The goal in bringing these experts together was to develop scientifically-based and enforceable recommendations for the regulation of corticosteroids," said RMTC Chairman Dr. Robert Lewis.
"The group's recommendations allow for practitioners to use corticosteroids where medically indicated for treatment of the horse and remove the pressure of treatment based upon whether a horse is entered to race."
The RMTC approved these recommendations earlier this month and forwarded them to the Association of Racing Commissioners International for review.
The RMTC consists of 25 racing industry stakeholders and organizations that represent Thoroughbred, Standardbred, American Quarter Horse, and Arabian racing. The organization works to develop and promote uniform rules, policies, and testing standards at the national level; coordinate research and educational programs that seek to ensure the integrity of racing and the health and welfare of racehorses and participants; and protect the interests of the racing public.

The positive effects of mindfulness and meditation are all over the news. In the past 20 years, hundreds of research studies have scientifically proven the health benefits of meditation. And it's true, people have used meditation to manage stress, increase self-awareness, and feel more connected to their higher selves for thousands of years.
But even though you may be aware of the benefits of meditation, perhaps you still do not have a regular practice.
In today's busy, stressed-out modern world, it's difficult to find the time to meditate, or believe we actually can meditate and experience the benefits first-hand. Yet with so many science-based statistics and more than 10 million practicing meditators in the U.S. alone, there must be something to it.
In the new Basics of Meditation online course, the world's leading meditation teacher, Deepak Chopra, shares simple tips and teaches meditation basics that will have even the most hesitant among us practicing meditation. Participants will learn simple techniques for greater focus and comfort that will set beginners on the path for success and enhance any meditation practice.
Discover how simple and doable meditation really is. Done consistently and regularly, for just a few minutes a day, meditation will begin to positively affect every area of your life: mental, physical, relational, and environmental. The practice offers immediate and long-term benefits for your physical health, spiritual growth, and emotional well-being.

ARE MARVEL DELAYS AFFECTING MARKET?
Slower Growth in July, August
Posted by Milton Griepp on September 11, 2015 @ 12:56 pm CT
For our estimates of actual sales by Diamond U.S. from comic specialty stores on comic books shipped during July, see "Top 300 Comics Actual--July 2015."
For our estimates of actual sales by Diamond U.S. from comic specialty stores on graphic novels shipped during July, see "Top 300 Graphic Novels Actual--July 2015
For an overview and analysis of the best-selling comics and graphic novels in July, see "Marvel Has Over Half of the Top 25 Titles in July." For an analysis of the dollar trends in July, see "Marvel's 'Secret Wars,' 'Star Wars' Take Top 4."
The comics and graphic novel market in comic stores returned to growth in August, with comics up 2.25% (behind strong Secret Wars and Star Wars sales), graphic novels up 16.04% (behind the release of a new The Walking Dead collection), and the overall market for comics and graphic novels was up 6.45%, according to information released today by Diamond Comic Distributors.
That 6.45% growth is a very good number, of course, but it pales in comparison to the first half growth rates of 13.07% overall, 16.46% for comics and 5.85% for graphic novels. July was actually down 2.88% overall, pulled down by a 4.67% decline in comics (see "Marvel's 'Secret Wars,' 'Star Wars' Take Top 4").
One factor affecting the dollars shipped may be the significant delays on Marvel titles, particularly on Secret Wars and related titles. Marvel announced 53 delays on Secret Wars titles in four weeks in May and June (see "Marvel Delays Hit Collections, 'Secret Wars'"), and those delays are now playing out in the marketplace. Delays on collections announced around the same time are also starting to hit.
That's not necessarily all bad news at the retail level. The numbers Diamond measures are sell-in to retailers, sell-through can be affected differently. A slowing of the sell-in on Secret Wars titles, while aggravating and risking loss of momentum, can also improve sell-through on the massive number of issues in the event, giving fans time to keep up with more of the storyline as it plays out over multiple titles.
Marvel continued its strong showing in the top ten comic titles, taking seven of the top ten slots. The Walking Dead moved back into the top 10, perhaps helped by the increased visibility of the property via the premiere of Fear the Walking Dead on AMC.

Abstract: Stratigraphic Revelations Regarding the Rincon Shale (Lower Miocene) in the Santa Barbara Coastal Area, California
Richard G. Stanley, Mary Lou Cotton, David Bukry, Mark V. Filewicz, Zenon C. Valin, David R. Vork
The Rincon Shale is superbly exposed in excavations at the Tajiguas landfill, about 40 km west of Santa Barbara. Here, the Rincon is 449 m thick and consists of bathyal marine mudstone, shale, and dolomite. The Rincon abruptly overlies shallow marine sandstone of the Vaqueros Formation, and is conformably overlain by a 70-cm-thick tuff at the base of the Monterey Formation.
New, detailed biostratigraphic analysis demonstrates that the Rincon at the Tajiguas landfill is entirely of early Miocene age, rather than Oligocene and Miocene as previously reported. Samples from 0.38 and 0.84 m above the base of the Rincon yield planktic foraminifers of the lower Miocene N4-N5 (undifferentiated) zones of Bolli and Saunders (1985). Benthic foraminifers indicate that the entire Rincon at this locality is within the Saucesian benthic foraminiferal stage of Kleinpell (1938, 1980). Calcareous nannofossils from the lowest 43 m of the Rincon are poorly preserved but indicative of the lower part of early Miocene zone CN1. "Blooms" (abundant, low-diversity assemblages) of
small Reticulofienestra sp. and Braarudosphaera bigelowii occur at several levels within the lower 30 m of the Rincon.
At the Tajiguas landfill, the Rincon/Vaqueros contact records rapid bathymetric deepening from neritic to bathyal depths, primarily in response to tectonic subsidence but possibly also in concert with eustatic sea level rise. The Rincon/Vaqueros contact can be no older than the Miocene/Oligocene boundary, dated at 23.8 Ma by Cande and Kent (1992). The tuff at the Monterey/Rincon contact probably is about the same age as welded tuff dated isotopically at 17.79 + 0.10 Ma on Tranquillon Mountain, about 42 km west of the landfill. Thus, the period of time represented by the Rincon at the Tajiguas landfill is 6.1 million yr or less.


On the 238th birthday of the United States, 20 people made a declaration of their own at Saguaro National Park on Friday, taking the Oath of Allegiance to become newly minted U.S. citizens.
Those who were sworn in as citizens by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce G. Macdonald came from 20 different countries, ranging from Azerbaijan to Iraq to Vietnam.
"July Fourth is an important day for all Americans, and from this day forward it will now have special meaning for all of you," said acting Saguaro National Park Superintendent Scott Stonum during the naturalization ceremony, held in the park's Tucson Mountain District.
Pauline Taku, who came to the U.S. in 2002 from Cameroon, was one of the 20 new citizens at the event.
Taku originally came to the United States for a college education, she said. She currently a registered nurse and is studying to become a nurse practitioner, and is married with three children. Taku said that what she has been able to accomplish in the United States wouldn't have been possible in Cameroon.
Friday's ceremony was one of more than 95 ceremonies across the country, in which about 9,000 new citizens were to take the Oath of Allegiance, said a press release for the event.
About 100 family and friends of the new citizens attended. The citizen candidates hailed from Azerbaijan, Benin, Bhutan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cameroon, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Mexico, Palestine, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Rwanda, Somalia, Togo, Turkey, Ukraine, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom, said park spokesman Andy Fisher.
"As this room so wonderfully demonstrates, we are a nation of immigrants," Macdonald said, telling attendees that new citizens should maintain their own identities even as they blend their traditions into American culture.
"No one should ask you to give that up," the judge said, encouraging the new citizens to exercise their rights, to vote and to sit on a jury.
The event was the fourth Independence Day naturalization ceremony held at the park.
Welcome fellow Americans. I don't know your life to here but I am proud of you for your choice to be a citizen. May your rewards be great.
New citizens take the Oath of Allegiance during a naturalization ceremony at Saguaro National Park on Friday.


The lack of electric vehicle charging sites is seen as a barrier to a wider spread and greater sales of electricity-fueled cars. "There are currently about 44,000 EV charging stations in the U.S, according to U.S. government figures, compared to 168,000 nationwide that sell fuel," writes Ben Schiller at Fast Company. In addition, the installation and the cost of charging stations at public sites far exceeds those installed at home.
In order to expand the network of available public charging stations, eMotorWerks teamed up with MotionWerk to create a peer-to-peer car charging. Owners of EVSEs can offer their devices to other electric vehicle drivers and get paid via Share&Charge, MotionWerk's blockchain-enabled app.

It's no secret my love for Japan. I could almost switch any conversation into one about my experiences in Tokyo and why you need to head over there! So for the second part of our second collaboration with Parisian footwear brand Palladium we headed over to the land of the rising sun; Tokyo, Japan to shoot their latest SUB collection for SS18. Along with Eshan, we also teamed up with Tokyo-based blogger Chiemi Ito and Jenna at sleepingtilnoon.com to show you our favourite places in Tokyo as well as of course highlighting the versatility of the latest offering from the Palladium heritage collection. The styles utilise a more modern silhouette opting for a new sole away from the classic style seen in most of their shoes over the past 75 years. And the styling was inspired by city travellers and the expanding streetwear culture found in Tokyo, Japan. This really contrasted nicely with the backdrops of the Asakusa area of Tokyo, walking through Kappabashi and the more industrial areas behind Senso-ji temple. Check out the film and campaign imagery created by the Outlanders team below.

Accessible Communities – There's an App for That
Accessible Communities – There's an...
Three in every four people with a disability report they feel anxious about visiting places they have not been to before due to worries about accessibility. We believe that everyone should be able to access their community – which is why we developed the Better Access Map!
Launched late last year across Newcastle and the Central Coast, the Better Access Map provides detailed information on the accessibility of over 800 local venues and businesses, pointing out wheelchair ramps, door width and parking options.
"The website and app exists to provide detailed information about businesses and organisations so people with a disability, carers and anyone who needs to know more about accessibility can find out if a place will be suitable for them," said Kieran Bird, Better Access Map Project Manager at Vinnies.
"It's about giving people facts, figures and photographs so they can make a decision for themselves about whether somewhere is accessible for them.
"No two people have the same access requirements – you might have someone in a wheelchair who needs flat entry or someone with a hearing impairment who might want to know what the sound is like or if there's a hearing loop available.
"It's really varied information."
The Better Access Map app was developed in consultation with people living with disability, and is now seeing a wide uptake among the community.
"It's not just for people with a disability – it could be for a parent with a pram or if you've broken your leg and need to know that there's not too many steps.," Kieran said.
"There's details like how wide the doorway is or how many steps there are, where the reception counter is – it's really detailed information that people with a disability told us that they needed to know about when they were going out."
Following the positive reception to the app and website in Newcastle and the Central Coast, Vinnies plans to roll out the Better Access Map across other parts of the state with the hope of extending across Australia.
You can download the Better Access Map app through the App Store and Google Play, or find the Better Access Map online at www.betteraccessmap.com.au.

Officials mark anniversary of Germans' expulsion from Budaörs
commemoration ethnic Hungarian history Hungary language minority
Central government and local officials commemorated the 76th anniversary of the start of the expulsion of ethnic Germans from the settlement of Budaörs, on the outskirts of the capital, on Sunday.
Tamás Menczer, a foreign ministry state secretary and a candidate to represent the settlement in parliament, said the expulsion of the Germans from Budaörs "cannot be forgotten" and "cannot be changed", but added that action can be taken to address the matter, even today.

He said the government has spent 28 billion forints (€ 78 million) since 2010 to help the German minority in Hungary preserve their language, culture and traditions.
Imre Ritter, an MP who represents the German minority, noted the importance of passing on knowledge, memories and experience to today's youth.

Fundraiser kicks meningitis into touch
One of our dedicated campaigners and fundraisers is looking to kick meningitis into touch with a charity day and football match later this month
Meon Milton Youth FC in Portsmouth has organised the family day for Elliott Spencer and us to mark the tenth anniversary of Elliott's father Gary's death from the devastating disease at the age of just 52, and to celebrate his young daughter Harper's recovery from meningitis.
Harper was only 9 weeks old last August when she was admitted to hospital with suspected bacterial meningitis. Tests showed it was viral meningitis and Harper has gone on to make a good recovery.
Elliott, 28, of Copsey Grove, Portsmouth, said, "Harper's illness brought back some bad memories for us all and this is why I strive to fundraise and make a difference."
"Meon Milton Youth FC has put on this annual charity game and fundraising day every year since my dad died. All the managers play, it's a minimum of £10 to take part and there's a presentation afterwards with a cup."
"It's always an amazing day although even after 10 years I find it tough. He was a great dad, partner, son, brother, grandad and friend to us all. With it being 10 years since he passed this year is going to be extra special."
Elliott, who ran the London Marathon for us in April, raising £3,000, to add to £12,000 he's already raised, added, "Meningitis Now does such great work raising awareness of this disease and supporting those who have been affected – please come along to our family day and support us to help kick meningitis off the park."
The day is shared with the local Tom Prince Cancer Trust charity, who also stage a fundraising game in memory of one of their players who died from bone cancer aged 15.
Elliott added, "They're a charity close to my heart as well because my dad was a graphic designer and he designed their logo for them."
Lots of other activities
Gates for the charity day open at the club's grounds at Eastney Playing Fields (PO4 9DA) at midday on Sunday 30 June, with the two games kicking off at 2pm and 4pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and there will be lots of other activities taking place, including face painting, bar and barbecue, bouncy castle and raffle. Entrance is free.

Malawi is among the world's poorest countries facing some of the worst economic and financial risks arising from climate change, information published on the African Development Bank (AfDB)website shows.
The bank said it has worked on addressing the issues around climate risk among others through the launch of the Africa NDC Hub, a cooperative initiative to support implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDC) in Africa.
"One of the funding instruments through which we support these activities is the Africa Climate Change Fund," said Louise Brown, climate change expert and the fund's coordinator.
Malawi has in recent years been affected by weather related shocks, which in turn affected growth projections.
Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development last year revised downwards 2017 and 2018 growth projections, to an average of four and 4.5 percent, respectively, from the initial 6.4 percent and six percent, respectively.
Economics Association of Malawi (Ecama) immediate past president Henry Kachaje earlier observed that Malawi sets ambitious growth targets, but fails to invest into what can bring about that growth, observing that over dependence on rain-fed agriculture will make such projections unpredictable while at the same time giving false hope and eroding confidence among investors.
Agriculture remains key to Malawi's economic growth and development. It contributes nearly 30 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), employs over 64 percent of the country's workforce, and provides over 80 percent of the country's export earnings.
The Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group of Ministers of Finance of the Climate Vulnerable Forum is a dedicated cooperation initiative of economies systemically vulnerable to climate change. The V20 works through dialogue and action to tackle global climate change.

Q: Why is it possible to define a class with a unreified path-dependent type? Considering the following example:
trait Supe {

  type Out <: Supe
  def out: Out
}

class Reif1 extends Supe {

  type Out = Reif1
  override def out: Out = this
}

class Reif2 extends Supe {

  type Out >: this.type <: Reif2
  override def out: Out = this
}

class Reif1 should obviously work. as type Out is reified and becomes a type alias
class Reif2 also works but seriously? type Out only has upper/lower bound defined and the bound was not even tight enough: this.type is a singleton type, and Reif2 is a class type. So what exactly would Out look like if Reif2 got instantiated? Is it going to be this.type? Or Reif2? But the bigger question should be: why scalac 2.12/2.13 allows it be compiled?

A: In Scala (or in DOT calculus 1 2) all types are intervals.
type Out = Reif1 is (or is supposed to be) type Out >: Reif1 <: Reif1.
Abstract type without bounds type Out is type Out >: Nothing <: Any.

So what exactly would Out look like if Reif2 got instantiated?

It will remain exactly type Out >: this.type <: Reif2
val r = new Reif2

import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
typeOf[r.Out] // App.r.Out
showRaw(typeOf[r.Out]) // TypeRef(SingleType(ThisType(App), TermName("r")), TypeName("Out"), List())
typeOf[r.Out].typeSymbol.isAbstract // true
typeOf[r.Out].typeSymbol.typeSignature //  >: Reif2.this.type <: App.Reif2

If you replace type Out >: this.type <: Reif2 in Reif2 with type Out = this.type (or type Out = Reif2 or type Out = Supe) then isAbstract will return false.
Abstract type member of a singleton object (see application of abstract type)
What is the meaning of a type declaration without definition in an object? (see why it's not easy to check that type T >: L <: U is not abstract)
Concrete classes can have abstract type members #1753
SI-8217 allow abstract type members in objects #4024
Abstract type members are incorrectly forbidden in objects (unless inherited) #8217
Use of abstract type in a concrete class?

Uber Technologies said it never told a self-driving car executive to download files from his former employer, Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit, according to a court filing in a contentious trade secret lawsuit.
Alphabet's Waymo claimed in a lawsuit earlier this year that Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14,000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company, which Uberacquired soon after.
Uber has fired Levandowski. He is not a defendant in the case, but his actions, and what Uber executives knew about them, are at the centre of Waymo's lawsuit. Uber denies it used any of Waymo's trade secrets. A trial is scheduled for October.
In a court filing on Wednesday, Uber said Levandowski's downloads had nothing to do with his future employment at Uber.
"This is consistent with the complete lack of evidence that such files exist at, or have ever been used by, Uber," the company said.
Instead, Uber said it believes Levandowski took the files to ensure an expected $120 million bonus payment from Waymo. Uber did not detail how it believes the downloads would have helped Levandowski accomplish that objective.
At one point while Uber was negotiating to buy Levandowski's company, Levandowski told Uber executives including former CEO Travis Kalanick that he found five discs in his home that contained Google information.
"Kalanick emphatically told Levandowski that Uber did not want any such information," Uber said in the court filing, adding Levandowski said he destroyed the discs.
In a separate court filing, Waymo said the incident with the discs proved Uber executives knew he possessed Google information before he came to Uber.
"And even after finding out that he had Waymo materials in his possession…Uber never took any steps to prohibit Levandowski from using his 'treasure trove of files' in his work at Uber," Waymo said.
Uber had hoped Levandowski, one the most respected self-driving engineers in Silicon Valley, would help the ride services company catch up to rivals including Waymo, in the race for self-driving technology.

Senator Hawley Joins Bipartisan Letter To President Trump Requesting He Take Immediate Action To Suspend Approval Of Licenses That Allow Some U.S. Companies To Do Business With Huawei
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) joined a bipartisan letter to President Trump, expressing deep concern that the U.S. Department of Commerce has begun issuing export licenses to U.S. firms to resume business with Huawei Technologies—despite the significant threats these license approvals could pose to our national security. Leader Schumer and Senator Cotton write that approving these licenses, and others, will allow Huawei to fully resume its engagement with certain U.S. firms without an adequate...
Senator Hawley Statement on Passage of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act
Following passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released the following statement: "Today's vote sends a clear message that the United States will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong as they battle Beijing's imperialism. The Chinese Communist Party's quest for power across the region is a direct threat to America's security and prosperity."
Senator Hawley Introduces Bill to Address National Security Concerns Raised by Big Tech's Partnerships with Beijing
"Current law makes it far too easy for hostile foreign governments like China to access Americans' sensitive data. Chinese companies with vast amounts of personal data on Americans are required by Chinese law to provide that data to Chinese intelligence services. If your child uses TikTok, there's a chance the Chinese Communist Party knows where they are, what they look like, what their voices sound like, and what they're watching. That's a feature TikTok doesn't advertise."
Senator Hawley Pushes Back On Mexican Ambassador's Letter Blaming Americans for the Cartels' Crimes
Today Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) fired back at the Mexican Ambassador's letter blaming Americans for the crimes of the cartels and the flow of drugs over the southern border. He stands by his call yesterday for sanctions against Mexican officials who will not confront cartels.
FBI Director: China Can Compel Tech Companies Doing Business In Country To Turn Over Any Information China Wants
FBI Director Wray told Senator Hawley American companies storing data in China "is something we're concerned about in part because. . . Chinese law essentially compels Chinese companies and typically compels U.S. companies that are operating in China to have relationships with different kinds of Chinese companies to provide whatever information the government wants whenever it wants."
Senator Hawley Announces Witness List for Upcoming Subcommittee Hearing
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, announced the following witnesses for the hearing entitled "How Corporations and Big Tech Leave Our Data Exposed to Criminals, China, and Other Bad Actors." The hearing will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5 at 2:30 p.m. ET in room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
Sen. Josh Hawley: China doesn't deserve respect (or loyalty) from American corporations
Sometimes the fate of one city defines the challenge of a generation. Fifty years ago, that city was Berlin. Today, it is Hong Kong. Beijing seeks to dominate the Asia-Pacific region, and eventually, the world — to bend global trade, global markets, and yes, global competitors, to its will. Nothing could be more dangerous to the security of the American people or the prosperity of our middle class.
Hawley Introduces Legislation to Prevent Foreign Exploitation of Critical U.S. Educational Investments and Innovation
Senator Hawley said, "Intelligence officials have warned us that the Chinese Communist Party is using student spies to steal our technology and undermine our national security on college campuses. This bill gives the Department of Homeland Security the tools it needs to address this growing threat by increasing counterintelligence vetting for student and academic visas."
Sen. Hawley to Chair Subcommittee Hearing on Tech Companies Putting Consumer Data at Risk in China and Other Hostile Nation-States
As big corporations collect ever-increasing amounts of personal data, they become even more appealing targets for hacking. This hearing will explore the state of cyber security in America, and how the government and private sector are facing this growing threat.


The Bear Hug Waltz, a diary of the journey of a daughter caring for her mother through the stages of dementia. Donna will share entries from her blog with the listeners.
It has been a year since mom passed away. There was a period of time to mourn, to say what is next, to walk away from all things pertaining to caregiving. What did I discover? Tune in and find out!
Caregivers, seldom seen, seldom heard from, seldom thought about...Invisible People. A people of isolation and aloneness, desperately wanting to be remembered from time to time.
Statistics, everyone is a statistic in some kind of poll. Caregivers are no exception to that, especially daughters. And to narrow that down even more, daughters who receive no help from male family members. Are you one of them?
In memory of mom and the good times we shared together as mother and daughter, memories that had long left her archives, but preserved forever in my heart.

By STEVE McMORRAN
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) An event of importance to the long-term future of New Zealand rugby occurred last weekend but was mostly overlooked by Kiwi fans whose focus was on ... rugby.
In a classic case of not seeing the wood for the trees, most New Zealand fans were too distracted by the dramatic end to Super Rugby's regular season to notice he New Zealand under-20 team lost a playoff for fifth place to Wales at the age-group World Cup, ensuring its worst finish in the tournament's history.
New Zealand will now play Ireland this weekend for seventh place.
New Zealand newspapers gave the result only passing mention and it vanished swiftly from television and radio sports bulletins. There has been little subsequent analysis of the cause for the team's poor performance and it's possible long-term ramifications for rugby in New Zealand.
The under-20 World Cup is the major development tournament in world rugby, a showcase for the next generation of test players. By that definition eventually there will be flow-through from the failure of the New Zealand under-20 team to the All Blacks whose ranks these young player are expected to replenish.
New Zealand Super Rugby teams will also likely feel the fallout, at least to notice the absence of this generation of age-group players who gave every indication in Argentina that they don't possess the ability to play at a professional level.
The New Zealand team was not just beaten in Argentina but humiliated, losing 25-17 by South Africa in pool play, though South Africa lost three players to yellow cards. In failing to take even a bonus point from that match, New Zealand finished third in the pool behind South Africa and France.
From its beginning in 2008, when it replaced the previous under-19 and under-21 World Cups, New Zealand dominated as it has dominated world rugby, winning the title six times, including in each of the first four years.
New Zealand Rugby threw resources at the team, furnishing it with the best coaches who in turn had the pick of the best young players.
Previous coaches include Scott Robertson, who has gone on to win two Super Rugby titles with the Crusaders, Dave Rennie, who won the under-20 title in its first three years and won two Super Rugby crowns with the Chiefs, and Chris Boyd who led the Hurricanes to their first Super Rugby title.
The current coach, Craig Philpott, graduated from assistant to head coach last year and has failed in each of his first two years in charge. His future is uncertain.
Philpott was full of confidence when he prepared to lead the New Zealand team to the Oceania final, then to Argentina, saying he had chosen the best players available. But he hinted that New Zealand might also find itself at a systemic disadvantage against other teams.
"The struggle that we have is that are playing against teams who are generally better conditioned athletes," Philpott said. "They've been in full-time professional programs in some cases for up to three years.
"Our guys at best are often one year, so there is often a physical strength conditioning difference. But we've just got to able to adapt our game at this level and still keep what's special about New Zealand rugby."

Hyderabad, Mar 31 : An International Women Startup Corridor (IWSC) to encourage more and more women entrepreneurs to take the lead worldwide was launched at a programme held here on Sunday.
The IWSC is spreading 10,000 square feet situated at the Financial District, Gachibowli here. This Women Startup Corridor will enthuse aspiring women entrepreneurs to systematically work through their venture ideas and will provide a platform to transfer knowledge on various sectors to women from various countries.
The Corridor will help women develop entrepreneurial skill sets to help them from ideation through implementation stages, as well as develop managerial approaches that will help them systematically establish their venture.
Talking to media on the occasion, Indian Economic Trade Organization (IETO) President, Dr Asif Iqbal, who is instrumental for this initiative said that the IWSC was launched in collaboration with Sadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad.
He said that the idea behind this initiative is to inspire Indian women to collaborate in different projects, also held by women around the world to understand each others. "They can exchange their ideas as well products through this platform where more than 23 country's women representatives present," he added.
While 13-14 similar corridors are already present globally, this is India's first such move. Mr Iqbal said, "In India, Hyderabad is first one, the next project will start soon in Bengaluru, followed by Chennai and New Delhi."
The IETO President said that IWSC would provide mentoring and networking. "During the first phase, 800 women can start their startups in the first year," he added.
Over 180 women delegates from all over the world, especially the Asian and Arab countries took part in the event.

Restore tooth decay, erosions, chips and other malformations with fillings made of composite resin. These tooth-colored fillings are natural-looking and metal-free, making your tooth look and feel like new.
Watergate Dental is thrilled to offer our patients the benefit of CEREC technology, which allows us to make ceramic inlays, onlays and crowns in our own office. This means less hassle with temporary restorations, less visits to the dental office, and more time to enjoy your restoration with friends, family and coworkers.
Inlays & Onlays are recommended for situations in which a large portion of the tooth structure has been lost due to decay or fracture, but a less invasive restoration than full crown therapy will suffice.
For patients anxious about their dental treatment, Watergate Dental offers nitrous oxide services as well as oral sedation therapies. These reduce anxiety surrounding dental procedures and provide a level of comfort appreciated by many patients requiring therapy.
During the root canal, the nerves and vessels of the pulp chamber are replaced with a filling material meant to seal the tooth from microorganisms. In most cases, a crown restoration is necessary after root canal therapy to ensure the long-term strength of the tooth.

Just this once, I'll post a color version of this page later today. Because this one is special (even if it is actually a pretty standard page overall), and because I love y'all so much. I hope you Rain Beaus will stick around and continue to enjoy the comic as it goes on.
Congratulations on making it to 1000 pages! I haven't been here since the beginning, but the entire comic is such a joy to read and I'm grateful you keep making it. Rain is helping me figure out who I am, and I know you have done the same for many others.
Happy milestone!! You are super rad and I am super proud of you for making drawing and comics your Official Thing. Having tried it and just not had the gumption, I have only a tiny sense of the work and dedication that takes. Admiration!!
This is a fantastic comic and looking back it's really amazing the places you've taken it.
Thank you for making such a wonderful and amazing comic for everyone to enjoy; and it probably goes without saying but... the fact you're showing a trans* character just makes me so happy. Too few comics will do that (One of my favorites that does it really well is called Questionable Content; highly recommend).
So thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being brave enough to be open about yourself through this as well. Just... thank you.
I was introduced to Rain last summer, and started reading it on 9/1/17. I've been absolutely hooked ever since, and have read it from start to (at the time of each reading) current at least four times. I adore these characters and story, and love reading the stories and support from your other devoted readers. Congratulations on reaching this milestone, and I hope you have many more to come, Jocelyn!
New pic! I love it!
Congrats, Jocelyn! What's great about this page is that it shows the first characters in the comic (other than Fara and the introduction flashback). Rain, Maria and Gavin are all there. And that last panel is quite badass.
So I learned something, I am intersex. I am a man AFAB and I have PCOS, however PCOS is usually treated with androgen reducers and administration of estrogen, progesterone, or both. For me however, any attempts to medicate me with typical PCOS medication or female hormones, only made my testosterone levels raise higher and made me violently ill, my body is simply coded to be male hormonally and the doctors had no idea why. I have done lots of research and knowing that I classify as intersex, alleviates a lot of confusion that I have been dealing with for years. I am glad to finally have answers.
I think this is flows much better with it right after the last page, instead of between pages. Congratulations on 1,000 pages!
1000 wow, love it love it love it. I also love the look on Maria's face at the end when she says, "I'd like to see them try and stop me.". Marvelous. I Love Rain and thank you for 1000 wonderful feels!

Truncated Domes: A Cheat Sheet
March 31, 2021 • Truncated Domes
TRUNCATED DRONES: A CHEAT SHEET
For decades, designers of public spaces did not consider the special needs of people with disabilities. Finally, in 1990, the United States government has passed the "American with Disabilities Act," also known as ADA.
What is good about this law is that it provides the accessibility standards when buildings, as well as public spaces, are designed and constructed.
Truncated domes are among the top features of ADA design for access in public buildings and spaces. ADA truncated domes have become a part and parcel when it comes to designing and constructing public spaces.
But despite the fact that truncated domes on asphalt surface or concrete surfaces have become a part of our everyday lives, not a lot know their purpose, and how to use them.
So, if you've ever wondered, "What are those bumpy yellow rectangles at curbs? And along railway platforms?", here is a cheat sheet for you.
Why do we need truncated domes?
Under ADA, truncated domes are referred to as warning surfaces that are detectable to persons with disabilities. ADA tactile warning mats have surfaces that have low bumps. Their objective is to alert people they are near a street crossing or a drop-off that could prove to be potentially hazardous. These bumps can be detected by a blind person using a cane, or felt underfoot.
Self-adhesive truncated domes, at the same time, should not present mobility issues for other people. Because of this, the ADA put in place strict guidelines when it comes to their height, width, as well as spacing of the domes.
Where do we use truncated domes?
We use them at curb ramps or on areas such as transit platforms, such as those you can find in an elevated rail system or a subway.
Truncated domes help provide a visual as well as a tactile warning that there is going to have an elevation change in a specific area, or that a person is moving from a pedestrian zone into a zone with car traffic.
Do they have to come in yellow?
The truth is, a lot of truncated domes out there come in yellow color. That is why it is not surprising that many people think the law mandates that specific color. But the truth is, it does not have to be that case.
Under the law, it only says the truncated domes have to offer a specific level of contrast, in contrast with nearby walking surfaces whether it is day or night.
Federal law allows states to choose the specific color of their truncated domes. However, some states may have specific regulations regarding their color.
However, even though it is not stated by law, the color yellow remains the popular choice for these truncated domes. First, because the color contrasts immediately with various paving materials around the domes. In addition, yellow is commonly regarded as the color of caution, making it a useful color in various hazard warning systems.
Of course, one can try red, given that it offers a similar purpose, although this might signal pedestrians to stop and look for their immediate surroundings before they continue.
When looking for truncated dome mats that are simple and quick to use, check out the self-adhesive style of truncated domes. These products can be installed in a few minutes, and do not require special tools or skills.

Dallas' 'Deep Ellum Music Scene': Indie Band Messer to release debut album; Tour with Red, Lacey Sturm and Righteous Vendetta
Dallas band Messer is set to release their debut album on April 20th, 2018. The name of the album is the same as the band –Messer.
Messer is:
Dereak Messer, Lead Vocals
Donnie Deville, Guitar/Vocals
Javier Contreras, Guitar/Vocals
Kenn Youngar, Drums/Vocals
Maddox Messer, Bass/ Vocals
The band is touring in support of the album release in March and April with Red, Lacey Sturm, and Righteous Vendetta; and Shallow Side in late April and May.
Messer means knife in German, and the band is cutting a memorable swath through the Rock world in 2018, starting with their 1st single "Make This Life". The song is off to a fast start @ Active Rock Radio with spins @ SiriusXM Octane, an early add @ Music Choice Rock, along with 50 more Active Rock stations. It's currently charting @ #36 on BDS Active Rock and #37 on Mediabase.
The song is also featured on Key Hard Rock playlists @ Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, Pandora, Youtube and Slacker Radio.
The band's modern rock sound was born through connections in the Deep Ellum music scene of Dallas, an area that has given rise to Hard Rock and Metal bands like Pantera, Drowning Pool, Hell Yeah, and King's X.
Dereak knew he wanted to pursue singing as a career while in High School in Iowa and started honing his chops with local bands. After high school he moved to Dallas to pursue his music career professionally. His first contact was with Dallas native Javier, who was making a name for himself playing in Jagermeister sponsored bands Mudflap and Pimpadelic.
The two bonded at a show and became the genesis of Messer. While looking for a place to get his hair cut, Dereak walked into Maddox's Hair salon on a whim. The two struck up a conversation about music and another connection was made. Kenny was traveling from his home in Canada to an audition in Phoenix when his car broke down in Dallas. He ended up staying in town and found success playing with the band Strangleweed, who made an appearance on the nationally televised Courtroom show "Eye for an Eye". That caught the attention of the members of Messer, and Kenny became part of the family. Donnie was playing in various Dallas bands and gaining attention as an award-winning Tattoo artist. Maddox would play Donnie tracks the band was working on and in turn, Donnie would play music he was recording at his own home studio. As Messer continued to develop as a band, they knew they wanted to add an additional guitar player, and they all agreed that Donnie was a great fit. The lineup for Messer was solidified.
The band grew their fan base locally, and began to branch out regionally and nationally, opening for notable bands such as Sick Puppies, Candlebox, Hinder, Vince Neil, Black Stone Cherry, Lynch Mob, Drowning Pool, Local H, Trapt, Metallica, Dokken, Scott Stapp Of Creed, Avenged Sevenfold, and Buck Cherry. It was on one of these tours that the band caught the attention of Los Angeles based writer/producer, Chad Gendason. The band felt an immediate comradery with Chad and a lasting bond was made. Messer started writing with Chad, and their first collaboration became "Simple Man". Fan favorite "Whiskey" soon followed and the songs started to flow into what would eventually become their self-titled debut album "Messer", which will be released on 4/20/18 on Maddpants Records. The album was mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed) and mastered by Tom Baker (Papa Roach, David Bowie, Motley Crue).
The band's desire for creative expression and to touch as many lives as possible is what drives them forward. 2018 is shaping up to be the year that Messer cuts through the noise and clutter of the Rock & Metal world and makes it mark.

Jason Reynolds Named Spokesperson for Indies First
By Sydney Jarrard
The American Booksellers Association today announced Jason Reynolds as the 2017 spokesperson for Indies First, the national campaign of activities and events in support of independent bookstores, which takes place on Small Business Saturday, the weekend after Thanksgiving.
"Being named the 2017 Indies First spokesperson is nothing short of an honor. To be an ambassador for the independent booksellers that have been ambassadors for me isn't only a welcomed responsibility, but also a sweet and, quite frankly, awesome obligation," said Reynolds.
Photo by Ben Fractenberg
In a video created to promote the event, Reynolds encourages his fellow authors to visit their local bookstore on November 25 in honor of Indies First/Small Business Saturday to show their support for the booksellers that support them year-round. Reynolds himself will be working at East City Bookshop in Washington, D.C.
Indies First was created by author Sherman Alexie in 2013; other authors who have led the campaign include Kate DiCamillo, Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer, Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket), Cheryl Strayed, and Lena Dunham.
Reynolds is the author of the critically acclaimed and award-winning novels When I Was the Greatest and Boy in the Black Suit and co-author of the New York Times-bestselling All American Boys. As Brave as You was a Time Book of the Year, and Ghost, the premier book in his middle-grade Track series, was a National Book Award finalist. Reynolds is also a Kirkus Award winner, a Walter Dean Myers Award winner, a NAACP Image Award winner, and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors.
This fall, Caitlyn Dlouhy Books/Atheneum Books for Young Readers (an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing) will publish Reynolds' Patina, the next installment in his Track series, and young adult novel Long Way Down. Miles Morales: Spider-Man, a young adult comic book, was published by Marvel on August 1.
Booksellers are encouraged to invite their favorite local authors, illustrators, or celebrities to come to their stores on November 25 for Indies First on Small Business Saturday, and then add the event details to the Store Indies First Activity Registry so that they can be publicized on the Indies First map on IndieBound.org, which will go live in September. Stores are also encouraged to promote their events on their websites and in newsletters and social media postings (using the hashtag #IndiesFirst).
Authors and illustrators who would like to participate in Indies First are encouraged to reach out to their favorite local indie bookstores, or they can indicate their willingness to participate by signing up on the Indies First Author & Illustrator Registry.
ABA's November Red Box mailing will include Indies First bookmarks, book bags, and other new goodies to help booksellers promote the event. Booksellers should also watch upcoming issues of Bookselling This Week for details about an additional way to promote Indies First to customers.
Learn more about Indies First on BookWeb, or send inquiries about Indies First to indiesfirst@bookweb.org. Booksellers and customers can follow news about Indies First on IndieBound's Facebook and Twitter pages and via the hashtag #IndiesFirst.

No matter what you prefer, Lidia Wos wants to invite you to an absurd, comical and twisted gathering in her very own choreographical universe. The piece was originally created for three dancers but Lidia has also converted it to a solo for herself. The solo will be presented for the first tima at Plattform, Palladium, Malmö on January 19th.


Journalists carry a victim at the scene of an explosion at a hotel complex in Nairobi's Westlands suburb on January 15, 2019, in Kenya.
Security forces worked throughout the night to secure the DusitD2 compound, which includes a 101-room hotel, spa, restaurant and office buildings, after an attack claimed by Al-Shabaab Islamists on Tuesday afternoon. At least one suicide bomber blew himself up at the hotel while gunmen sprayed fire before engaging security forces and holing themselves up at the premises as civilians fled or barricaded themselves in their offices awaiting rescue.
After 12 hours trapped inside the complex, a group of dozens of people was freed at 3:30am (0030INGGMT), according to an AFP journalist at the scene, followed by fresh gunfire and a detonation. "We still believe there are two or three attackers in specific locations," the first police officer said.
"The situation is far from over." The second police officer said that at one point they had been sure the attackers had been neutralised after a long period without shooting, however gunfire resumed again after 2am. Further explosions and gunfire were heard shortly before dawn, with no official word on how many people were still trapped inside.
"There is a floor where they are shooting from, we still believe there are people there," he said, after reports that a large number of people had fled upstairs. Kenyan police chief Joseph Boinnet said the attack began with an explosion targeting three cars in the parking lot and a suicide bombing in the foyer of the Dusit hotel.
"We have no idea what is happening. Gunshots are coming from multiple directions," said Simon Crump, an employee at an international firm who was hiding with his colleagues. Crump was among a first wave of people evacuated from the office buildings surrounding the Dusit hotel, after an hour of sustained gunfire. A number of heavily-armed foreign forces, who appeared to be from embassies based in Nairobi, were at the scene alongside Kenyan security officers.
One survivor rescued from the building told a local television station the attackers were "very confident; they were people who knew what they were doing". CCTV footage broadcast on television showed four attackers, clad all in black and heavily armed, entering a courtyard in the compound at the start of the assault. John Maingi said there had been "a flash of lights and a loud bang" at the Secret Garden restaurant where he works.
The attack was claimed by the Al-Qaeda-linked Somali group Al-Shabaab, which has repeatedly targeted Kenya since it sent its army into Somalia in October 2011 to fight the jihadist group. The attack at DusitD2 is the first in Nairobi since gunmen stormed the city's Westgate shopping mall in 2013, killing at least 67 people. On April 2, 2015, another Shabaab attack killed 148 people at the university in Garissa, eastern Kenya.
The Westgate attack resulted in many upscale establishments and shopping centres in the capital — including the Dusit — putting up strict security barriers to check cars and pedestrians. Several Nairobi establishments popular with Westerners announced on social media Tuesday that they had closed for security reasons. In its statement, the group noted the attack came exactly three years after its fighters overran a Kenyan military base in Somalia.

Conor v Khabib and who is to blame for the post fight madness?
So here we go. The fight has happened, the results are out the furore and madness of the post-fight melee is bouncing around social media, and the middle aged people of Ireland are delighted that they can finally 'say I told you so'.
The fight itself was massively interesting. If I can take my slightly comical adoration of Conor off the table, it was like watching a human autopsy. That being that we really aren't enjoying it but can't take our eyes off it.
For a quick run through, Conor started well, making every takedown attempt from Khabib difficult for him to finish. Showing more skill that Khabib expected but that was early. Khabib is not the type of fighter who shoots for a takedown, resets and then goes again. He goes for a takedown and if he is blocked he will just go again from that exact spot. Something very different to the 'Americanised' wrestlers in the UFC. Conor never gave the look of someone unsure, but it looked beyond uncomfortable. Round one was over and the corner told him 'good job'. Not sure what else could have been said, it started well but Conor's back was on the canvas for too long, he didn't take much damage. But round 2 was a different story. He took some damage there, /blocked a lot but took a lot and it was a 10-8 round for the belt holder. If the plan was to hope Khabib would tire late, this was a risk. Round 3 was Conor's round and the first round that Khabib has lost in the UFC. He had gotten into the contest, moved slightly better and Khabib was tiring after the outlay in round 2. Was this Conor coming back? 10-9 McG. Coming into the 4th it was 2 rounds to 1 with 1 10-8 round. Back against the wall stuff. Khabib came out strong in R4 eventually securing the takedown and going for a choke before switching a neck crank for the win.
What followed was Khabib jumping the cage to attack Dillon Danis and some of Khabibs team jumping into the cage and getting a few punches in on Conor while he dished out some of his own. This is the long story short as we have been reading about this all day.
But the big question is, who is to blame for the post fight madness.
Well, there are a lot of people to blame. It all starts from a confrontation with Artem Lobov who was surrounded by Khabib and his team, a bully move. This was seen as an attack by Conor who flew to Brooklyn and the bus issue happened. He got the slap on the wrist (celebrities never pay the price like us civilians) the fight was on, the press conference happened where Conor used family and country to fire up Khabib. So as you can see, it is not a simple choice as to who caused this. Please understand there is no condoning the post-fight fight.
The UFC used the bus footage to pimp this fight to the masses and played it beyond regularly to drum up interest. Imagine being Khabib and seeing that all day every day. It wouldn't help the keeping calm that is needed to fight. But he kept calm, until the end of the fight. He was a pressure cooker wound up beyond belief and it exploded once the fight ended.
But, the real people to blame is US. The consumer, the fight fans the enjoyer of 2 people fighting in a cage. We buy the PPV, the shirts, the merchandise and the whiskey. In doing so, we are giving our approval for this behaviour. I am all for pre-fight wind ups, mind games are a massive part of the game. Conor is the best at it. In his early UFC fights he used the serial killer voice, talked about mystic mac and post-fight there was usually a hand shake. Look at Diaz ½, Mendes etc. Sportsmanship was shown post fight. This is what we should see. But we only know where the line is when we cross it. But it is US who applauds line crossing and until that is fixed then we will have the post-fight craziness happening from time to time. When it gets that personal, we cannot expect fighters to act like golfers.
MMA is not for everyone. The big worry is the civilians in and around Vegas getting into fights. This is not right. Conor has behaved admirably again post fight. Not being outlandish, just saying he enjoyed it and is ready for the rematch. I think this is a way of defusing everything. Now that we know how far is too far I think we will be bringing back the scary mystic mac who looks through people without the need for brash show business.
Conor was paid 100mil to be the showman against Floyd, I can't wait for him to become the fantastic fighter he is again. Ring rust is real, the oil is being applied.
