The Best Ways to Avoid Gross Skin Infections From Your Gym
Written by Gabrielle Kassel on December 11, 2018
Working out can be pretty disgusting—stashing a drenched top in your work bag, wrangling stringy, sweaty hair into some kind of updo, freakin' butt acne… the list goes on. But what's even more alarming than the less than glamorous side of your workouts? The cesspool of potential infections lurking at your gym.
At the risk of sounding alarmist, from the lockers and pool deck to benches and treadmills, going to the studio could expose you to all sorts of germs, fungi, icky bacteria, and viruses that are unpleasant at best. In one study, researchers found 25 different types of bacteria in fitness centers on everything from toilet handles to leg press machines to ellipticals. Gross.
But besides whipping out the hazmat suit, what can you do to stay clean? We asked six experts—people who have to deal with icky skin infections and issues on a daily basis—to give us the low-down on what's hanging around the gym, plus their tried-and-true methods for treating and avoiding infections in the first place.
Despite the name, there aren't actually any worms present. *Wipes bead of sweat from forehead* "The term ringworm came about because the fungus appears on the skin in the shape of a ring that has a raised border, scaly texture, and thickness of a worm," says board-certified dermatologist Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce, M.D., MS, FAAD.
Susan Bard, M.D., of Manhattan Dermatology Specialists adds that this fungus is highly contagious and thrives in sweaty, moist environments, so you're most likely to catch this at the gym in the shower, on communal yoga mats, or in carpeted stretch areas. (Why are those still a thing?!)
"Make sure to properly disinfect those areas with the wipes and sprays available at the gym," Bard says. Clorox disinfecting wipes, store-bought witch hazel with isopropyl alcohol, and tea tree oil are all great disinfection options, but whatever the gym has on-hand will work.
However, if you do get ringworm, it's not necessarily because of your gym's foam roller. Bard notes that you can also get ringworm from the soil, sharing a towel or bed with someone who is carrying the fungus, or even from snuggling up to your pup if they've been exposed.
What to do: Bard says this one will likely be treated with a topical cream like clotrimazole or terbinafine. But if a more extensive area is affected or it's spread to your scalp—called "tinea capitis"—your derm might prescribe an oral regimen too. As a preemptive approach, antifungal shampoos can help keep the infection off your scalp.
Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Athlete's foot is probably the best-known infection you can pick up at the gym. Geddes-Bruce explains that it's actually caused by the same fungus as ringworm, it's just located on the feet and toes and can be transferred to the toenails. "It's an itchy rash that's usually red, inflamed, and scaly. It's highly contagious and can be caught anytime you're barefoot, in open-toed shoes, or wearing wet socks," says podiatrist, Velimir Petkov, DPM, owner of Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey.
"To avoid getting athlete's foot, avoid going barefoot in common areas and keep your feet dry," Petkov says. The fungus thrives in warm, wet environments so he suggests washing and drying your feet regularly, changing your socks after exercise, wearing shoes in all common areas in the gym, allowing your training shoes time to dry before re-use, regularly cleaning your gym bag, and wearing flip-flops in the shower. Got all that?
Petkov adds that your trusty rubber flip-flops aren't enough to prevent athlete's foot entirely. That's because the shoe itself can become warm and damp, thus creating a perfect breeding ground. The solution? Wear them in the shower but then wash them with warm water and soap afterward.
What to do: If you do get it, treatment is the same as with ringworm. Because it's more difficult to treat once it's spread to your toenails—and usually requires an oral medication—it's best to try preventative measures. If it has spread to your toenails, make sure to put on your socks before your underwear and pants to prevent the infection from traveling to—oh please, no—your groin.
Skin Yeast (Tinea Versicolor)
"It's not really an infection, and it's not contagious or dangerous, but it's very common in sweaty conditions," Bard says. "The yeast creates a bleaching agent that leaves behind light colored spots on the skin, which may itch and may take a few months to resolve." It flourishes with sweat, so it's most common in people who live in humid environments and people who hang out in their sweaty clothes, says Donna Hart, M.D., FAAD, of Westlake Dermatology in Austin, Texas.
What to do: To give your skin the best chance of being fungus free, use an exfoliant with an antimicrobial ingredient like tea tree oil or zinc. But if you already have skin yeast, Hart says dermatologists will likely suggest using an anti-dandruff shampoo on your skin because it often contains fungus-fighting selenium sulfide or zinc pyrithione.
11 Sneaky Causes of Urinary Tract Infections
Staph (Staphylococcus Aureus)
Shorted in the streets to "staph," staphylococcus Aureus are among the most common bacteria lurking in the gym. Most of the time, the bacteria are a non-issue. But sometimes the bacteria can cause a pustular—yes, that means "filled with pus," so gross—red, swollen, painful infection on the skin, Geddes-Bruce says. That's because the bacteria can be on your skin but not cause an infection. "The infection only occurs if there's an open cut that the bacteria can get into," she explains.
"Staph is almost always spread by making contact with someone with an active infection, particularly if they have an open sore. But you can also catch it from sharing mats, towels, or equipment with someone with an open sore," Hart says. So she recommends washing your hands, using an alcohol-based sanitizer, wiping down equipment, and covering open nicks and cuts with bandages.
What to do: If you spot a boil on your skin, Geddes-Bruce suggests going to the doc. "Treatment is most often an oral antibiotic, though sometimes a topical ointment is sufficient if the infection is small."
You've heard of MRSA. But did you know that MRSA and staph are caused by the same bacteria? The difference, as the name suggests, is that MRSA is resistant to the antibiotic used to treat a staph infection. Both infections usually cause a swollen, painful bump with a yellow or white center to form.
"The best thing to do to reduce the risk of getting a MRSA infection at the gym is to wash your hands and any other body parts that come in contact with gym surfaces with soap and water after exercise, and to cover any cuts," says Chirag Shah, M.D., co-founder of Accesa Labs.
What to do: Don't fret too much if you do get this strain of staph, as certain antibiotics will still respond to and cure it. Just head to your doctor if you notice a sore, Shah suggests, because sometimes the surrounding area sore will form a hot-to-the-touch infection called cellulitis.
"Impetigo can be caused by either the staph bacteria or streptococcus (strep) bacteria," Bard says. Strep bacteria are pretty contagious and in addition to causing strep throat, can lead to superficial skin infections and blisters. Geddes-Bruce says as a skin infection, impetigo often "has honey-colored crust associated with it." Cute.
"This infection is typically transmitted from person to person through direct contact or shared use of tainted equipment and mats. You can avoid getting this by wiping equipment down with antiseptic wipes, using a hand sanitizer, and using your own mat," says Adarsh Vijay Mudgil M.D., medical director of Mudgil Dermatology.
What to do: If you have red, oozing sores, Mudgil suggests talking to your doctor, who can prescribe either an ointment or oral antibiotic.
Hot Tub Folliculitis (or "Hot Tub Rash")
As it turns out, that post-workout soak might come with a side of infected hair follicles.
"Hot tub folliculitis is caused when a bacteria called 'pseudomonas aeruginosa'—which thrives in hot and warm pools—makes its way into the hair follicle and causes a red, itchy, bumpy rash that may also be tender," Geddes-Bruce says. Good news: It typically clears up on its own within a few days.
A foolproof way to avoid this infection is to skip out on the hot tub. Or just make sure to wash your body and suit afterward. If you wanna be that gym-goer, you can also check with the gym employee to make sure the chlorine and pH levels are being checked twice a day, as the infection is avoidable if these are at the proper level.
What to do: You can usually just use a topical hydrocortisone cream to control the itching, but Geddes-Bruce says that it can also be treated with antibiotics.
Are You Mistaking This Serious Problem for a Yeast Infection?
Viral Infections
Take a breath. It's basically impossible to get herpes at the gym—but, yeah, it could happen. "Herpes is caused when the herpes simplex virus enters the body through mucosa or cut to cause the trademark lip blisters," Bard says. "Theoretically, it could be caught from poorly cleaned surfaces containing the virus, but it's highly, highly unlikely. It's more likely transmitted from direct skin-to-skin contact." Wrestlers, rugby players, and frisky exercisers engaging in locker-room "contact sports" (wink) are most susceptible.
Though Geddes-Bruce notes there have also been rare cases of possible transmission through infected water sources, like a water fountain. The best way to avoid and prevent the spread in your gym setting is to avoid contact with anyone's visible sores and to avoid sharing water bottles.
What to do: "There is no cure for the herpes virus so treatment involves suppressing it from becoming active and involves taking prescription antiviral pills," Geddes-Bruce says. Researchers have been looking for a potential cure or vaccine for years.
Plantar Warts (Verruca Plantaris)
People! When you're in the gym, keep your damn shoes on! Unless you're in a yoga class, in which case a routine Clorox wipe swipe isn't a bad idea. Plantar warts are another issue walking around barefoot or in open-toed shoes can cause.
"Plantar warts are actually a viral infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), not a fungal one (like athlete's foot)," Petkov says. "The virus attacks the skin of the bottom of the feet, usually at the weight-bearing parts." Usually, they look like thick calluses, but the difference between the two is that plantar warts tend to have tiny black dots, while calluses do not.
"Much like with athlete's foot prevention, my advice is to always cover your feet while in shared community spaces while at the gym. Showers, pools, and locker rooms are the most common areas where the infection originates," Petkov says.
What to do: Luckily, many plantar warts go away on their own. But because they grow inward, they can hurt. "There are several treatment options, including chemical destruction of the lesion with a peeling solution, freezing, or shaving it off," Petkov says.

Three White Men Who Killed Ahmaud Arbery Sentenced To Life In Prison
Three White Men Who Killed Ahmaud Arbery Sentenced To Life In Prison's Profile
The three white men who chased down and fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery on a Georgia road were sentenced to life in prison Friday.
Travis McMichael and his father, Greg McMichael, were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after the judge said their actions showed little remorse for the chilling killing of the 25-year-old Black man.
"This was a killing," Judge Timothy Walmsley said. "It was callous."
Neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, but only after serving 30 years.
Walmsley handed down the sentence after Arbery's parents and sister made their case for the harshest sentence, arguing that the three men killed Arbery when they couldn't scare or intimidate him away from their neighborhood.
"This wasn't a case of mistaken identity or mistaken fact," Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, told the court. "They chose to target my son because they didn't want him in their community. T'hey chose to treat him differently than other people who frequently visited their community. And when they couldn't sufficiently scare or intimidate him, they killed him."
Travis McMichael, Greg McMichael, and their neighbor, William Bryan, were convicted of felony murder in November for daytime killing that was captured on video. Arbery, 25, was shot on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia, while he was running on a two-lane road.
The McMichaels, a father and son, had told police there had been break-ins in the neighborhood and that they began to chase Arbery in their truck. The men then confronted him. After a struggle with a shotgun, Travis fired at Arbery, killing him, according to police.
Despite the footage and admissions from the three men that they had chased down Arbery before Travis McMichael shot and killed him, no arrests were made for more than two months, after the video became public, drawing outrage and questions on how local authorities were handling the investigation. A former prosecutor handling the case has since been charged with violating her oath of office and obstructing the investigation.
Prosecutors on Friday argued the three men should be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, and Arbery's parents issued emotional pleas agreeing with the harshest sentence.
"When I close my eyes I see his execution in my mind, over and over," Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery, said. "His killers should spend the rest of their lives thinking about what they did, and what they took from us, and they should do it from behind bars because me and my family, we have to live with his death for the rest of their lives."
Defense attorneys asked for a lighter sentence of life with the possibility of parole, pointing to the men's lack of criminal history and what they said were lives of community service before the 2020 killing.
"Greg McMichael is a good man," defense attorney Laura Hogue told the court, pointing out his service in the military and as an investigator with the prosecutor's office. "He's not a perfect person, none of us are, but he's lived a good life, a life dedicated to service and that does count for something."
Bryan's attorney, Kevin Gough, asked the court for an even lighter sentence than the mandatory minimum, arguing that unlike the McMichaels, Bryan had expressed remorse over Arbery's death.
"Whether it's part of the record or not, he expressed remorse over Mr. Arbery's death even before he was arrested on national television," Gough said. "The Arbery family has not accepted that, and they don't have to, your honor, and we can understand why."
According to Gough, Bryan said that he wished he hadn't left his front porch, and told one of the police officers he sometimes hoped he had hit Arbery with his truck to prevent the shooting from the taking place.
But prosecutor Linda Dunikoski argued for all three to be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, saying they were taking acts of vigilantism by arming themselves to confront Arbery.
Dunikoski took issue in particular to Hogue comparing the men's actions to a neighborhood watch, telling the judge members of a neighborhood watch are there to monitor and be good witnesses.
"That's what neighborhood watch is supposed to be, not somebody running after people in a residential neighborhood," she said.
She asked the judge that, in handing down his decision, take into account Travis McMichael's demeanor on the stand when he testified.
"(Travis McMichael) said that was the worst day of his life," she said, raising her voice. "Well, how did that work out for Ahmaud Arbery?"
Greg McMichael, Dunikosi said, has at times used his past as a law enforcement officer for his defense and, at others, seemed to ignore his training and experience for actions that benefit him.
It was Greg McMichael that had in May 2020, she said, taken the video of the fatal shooting, gave it to his attorney, and leaked it hoping it would help his case.
McMichael, she said, ignored his training and released evidence in an ongoing investigation.
"He believed it was going to exonerate him," she said. "He and his son believe they didn't do anything wrong, and that is a lack of remorse or empathy."

Q: Python:Taking the first character without Lists My code is about creating a password using the first character/digit of every word/number as a character in a sentence/phrase and printing it just as so.

Example: Stop and smell the 350 "roses". -> Sast3r. (Ignoring
  quotations using r instead)

This would be very easy using lists, but you cannot use them in this assignment for my code. So, I don't know what to do now after what I have done so far
Function:
def create_password(phrase):
q = "'"  # quotations
dq = '"'  # double quotes

password = phrase[0]

for i in phrase:
    x = phrase.find(" ")
    if i.isalnum:
        password += phrase[x + 1]
    elif x == q or x == dq:
        password += phrase[x + 2]

return password

Main:
# Imports
from credentials import create_password

# Inputs
phrase = str(input("Enter a sentence or phrase: "))

# Outputs
password = create_password(phrase)
print(password)

A: I think it is more straightforward to walk through the entire phrase without worrying about splitting on spaces. Instead keep track of whether or not you've just seen a space. You only want to add the character after just seeing a space.
def create_password(phrase):
    q = "'"  # quotations
    dq = '"'  # double quotes

    #Initialize the password to be an empty string
    password = ""

    #We are at the start of a new word (want to add first index to password)
    new_word = True

    #Walk through every character in the phrase
    for char in phrase:

        #We only want to add char to password if the following is all true:
        #(1) It's a letter or number
        #(2) It's at the start of a new word
        #(3) It's not a single quote
        #(4) It's not a double quote
        if char.isalnum and new_word:
            if char != q and char != dq:
                password += char
                new_word = False #<-- After adding char, we are not at a new word

        #If we see a space then we are going to be at a new word
        elif char == " ":
            new_word = True

    return password

p = create_password('Stop and smell the 350 "roses"')
print(p)

Output:
Sast3r

A: You're definitely on the right track! Using the str.find() method is definitely the way to go!
However, you need to understand what the str.find() method does. Look at the signature:
str.find(sub [,start [,end) -> int

    # sub -> character to find
    # start -> where the function should start looking in the string
    # end -> where the function should stop looking

    # Returns a number, which is the place it found the character.
    # If it didn't find anything, then return -1.

Without telling the function where to start, it will always find the first occurrence of the character in the string. It won't know that you're going through each character of the string.
So let's change it up a little bit:
for char_index in xrange(len(phrase)):
    # Tell the method to look after char_index: we've already looked before this!
    x = phrase.find(' ', char_index) index

    if phrase[x+1].isalnum(): # It's a function, notice the brackets?
        password += phrase[x + 1]
    elif phrase[x+2] == q or phrase[x+2] == dq:
        password += phrase[x + 2]

Hopefully, this should get your desired password.

A: Give priority to the use of built-in function, for example, every time you find the location of space, then why not directly in accordance with the space for spilt function, so that the string directly to the character list, each element is a word, and then remove each element in the list.

About JL FoundationRoberta Lowenstein2020-01-08T18:31:59+00:00
The Joey Lowenstein Foundation
The Joey Lowenstein Foundation seeks to empower children and families living with autism, providing them with resources to improve their quality of life through our signature combination of therapies and support. We began our journey in 1996, when Joey Lowenstein was born in Boca Raton, Florida to Norman and Roberta Lowenstein. Joey developed normally until age 2, when he suddenly lost his verbal communication skills and slipped into his own world. It was as if a door had slammed shut. Joey was diagnosed with autism at 2 ½ years old. The diagnosis was particularly challenging because very little was known about autism at the time.
We quickly realized, however, that Joey was not alone. The CDC estimates that 1 in 68 children are identified to have an autism spectrum disorder. Although Joey has classic autism, he is highly intelligent. From a very young age, he has had to wrestle with very deep thoughts, ideas, and goals that were trapped in his head. He had no way of conveying them to others – until 2010 when Joey's mom learned about Rapid Prompting Method therapy (RPM), founded by Soma Mukhopadhyay. Soma's RPM therapy set Joey free! After more than a decade of silence, Joey had a voice and was finally able to communicate with those around him. Most of us can't even being to imagine the thought of living life with a perfect mind but no way to express thoughts, opinions, pain, or happiness. Yet millions of children live this way, even as their parents struggle to help. As autism diagnoses became more common, Norman and Roberta quickly realized how many families didn't have the resources they had been able to leverage for Joey's benefit. Too many families would not be able to help their children because of the extremely expensive treatment autism requires. The Joey Lowenstein (JL) Foundation wants to change that.
RPM radically improved Joey's life and led him to discover and embrace other therapies that enrich his life on a daily basis. Joey's hope is that through the JL Foundation and its focus on five signature focus areas — Athletics, Nutrition, Self-Development, RPM, and Seizure Research, a combination we call ANSRS — he will be able to provide the many people who have autism with the resources to find their own bridge to communicating who they are and what they want to do with their own gifts.
Our quest is this: believe in us and life will get better.

I have a question about the ingredient "Sweet and creamy gorgonzola" on the recipe "Warm Sweet Potato Rostis with Gorgonzola and Pear " from Maria Teresa Jorge.
I suspect she means gorgonzola dolce which is sweeter and typically creamier than "regular" gorgonzola.
What is a great sweet potato recipe?
Should I add the crushed pineapple called for in sweet potato pudding recipe or will it ruin super creamy texture?

Sherlock Series 3 Soundtrack Review
Mandi Harris
A show like BBC's Sherlock must have a soundtrack to match the quirkiness of the show. Season three was full of twists and turns and the music suits the craziness. Most of the music on the OST is fast-paced and full of dark beats. Songs like "Lazarus", "How It Was Done", and "Vanishing Underground" have lots of ominous drumbeats and strings, probably to represent Sherlock's return from the dead. It also matches up with the confusion and mystery of Sherlock's death and resurrection. What really happened, anyway?
One song I really liked is the "Waltz for John and Mary". I was moved watching the scene on the television show. Sherlock may not admit it, but composing the wedding dance for John and Mary was really sweet. We get to hear the gentle tunes of Sherlock's violin. It's a very poignant melody. It's also Sherlock's (temporary) farewell to the couple. It's a refreshing tune after the previous melodic songs. It was really very beautiful.
The song "Appledore" really captures all the strange things that went down at the facility. We discover Magnussen doesn't actually have a vault. Sherlock shoots him down. The song is full of the twists and turns that happened in the story. It made me feel confused just listening to it. The soundtrack was really good overall. Just the first five songs all sounded the same to me but I understand the connecting theme. The song for John's Stag party was almost a comic relief before we get the beautiful violin waltz. I give this OST two thumbs up! It's definitely worth checking out.

Dani Garcia Award | Marbella Marbella – Adelante!
As Marbella's 2-Michelin star Calima restaurant, in the Gran Meliá Don Pepe Hotel (but independent of the Hotel), prepares to close its doors for the winter break, Dani Garcia received yet another award to add to his burgeoning collection.
Patxi Giraldo, one of Spain's top bacalao providers, awarded his Company's tenth annual prize to Dani for his inventive dishes made with the cured fish, worth 6,000 euros. Dani cooked a special pipirrana nitro de bacalao for the occasion.
Love it or hate it, bacalao is a pillar of Spanish cuisine, and Giraldo's fish come exclusively from the Faroe Isles where they are caught using hook and line.
The celebration dinner consisted of 23 dishes and wines from many countries.

I have a 2019 Touring and the stiff suspension is hard to get used to. Are there any mods that can be done to soften things up? The 2019's have 17 inch wheels and Yokohama tires. I've read threads about other tires giving a softer ride, but will that be a very noticeable change? Anyone have experience with this?
Check to see if tires are over inflated.
Yes, tire pressure is 34 and we did test drive them. After putting a few hundred miles on it we find the ride more jittery than we thought it would be. I*ve read others have good luck switching to General Altimax tires but I wonder if this would make enough difference to be worthwhile. The suspension is fine for big bumps but it transmits all road imperfections and little bumps.
The suspension is fine for big bumps but it transmits all road imperfections and little bumps.
lol-that's one of the things I like about it! I want to feel the road.
You could try lowering your pressures to 32 or even 30. My dealer delivered it with 30 [wtf?] and it was really soft. Feels best to me at 36.
You could try adjusting to different pressures as suggested above.For me that didn't work,so I went with the general Altimax RT43H for a major improvement in ride quality.The yoko's were too harsh for me in the long run (which only lasted 3000 miles),then they were gone.Good riddance.
You Could also buy my koni Sport shocks from me, there adjustable from soft to full firm.
I've had the RT43H on and it's a good smooth tire, but not as quiet and smooth as these. They're designed to soak up bumps and are one of the quietest and smoothest tire I've ever run.
Soft tires will wear very fast.
My car is like a gocart, almost no suspension and I enjoy it a lot.
You did not know, that this car and other Mazdas are drivers cars?
Yes....that's kind of the point with the CX-5. A driver's car where you can feel the road. If you wanted the driving a floating boat experience, Mazda was the wrong way to go.
I got a great trade in deal at a local tire shop and chose continental truecontact tour tires, which are #1 rated on tire rack in the touring section, just above Michelin defenders for comfort and noise, traction and handling. They made a difference and now the ride is much more comfortable. I still feel the road but the harshness is gone and our heads don't bobble around over every bump like before. Well worth it. Paid $200 out the door after my trade in of the Yokohama's with 500 miles on them.

Dr. Dwayne Smith: From First Gen Student to CEO of Housatonic Community College
During his first year as an undergraduate student at Truman State University, Dr. Dwayne Smith was approached by a White woman who asked what country he was from.
"I didn't even get the question at first because I said I was from the United States," says Smith, chief executive officer of Housatonic Community College. "Then, when I left, I thought, 'Oh, she thought I was from another country, like I was an international student.' I couldn't be from America."
Despite facing microaggressions, racist comments, as well as obstacles stemming from being a first-generation student, Smith always felt that he deserved to be a student at the institution.
Dr. Dwayne Smith
"When I talk about success and being driven, you always have to believe that you deserve to be here like everyone else," he says. "That no one would make you feel that you don't belong" or this "space is not your place. You own your space and that's what I did throughout the years."
As a student leader and activist, Smith wanted to provide a place for students of color to feel connected to campus. He was eventually hired to be the institution's minority counselor on campus.
"I knew [that] this was what my life was to be about," he says.
He went on to become associate dean of multicultural affairs, a position in which he established the school's first diversity department.
After holding positions at the University of Missouri, Park University and Avila University, Smith became provost and vice president for academic affairs at Harris-Stowe State University.
During his time at Harris-Stowe, Smith focused on increasing opportunities within the science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields. He secured over $12 million in external funding, including a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Additionally, the number of degree offerings increased by more than 75%, according to the institution.
Additionally, Harris-Stowe was ranked in the top 40 in the nation in graduating African Americans in education as well as the top 50 nationally in graduating African Americans in mathematics and statistics, the university reported.
"I had a nice ride there," says Smith. "Of course, we had challenges at the institution being an under-resourced and underfunded HBCU in the state of Missouri. But we were able to do some incredible work."
After 14 years at Harris-Stowe, Smith's interest shifted to community colleges. His "affinity" for community colleges stemmed from his educational vision of access and opportunity as well as a focus on student success and completion rates.
In July, Smith began his new role as CEO of Housatonic Community College.
"I'm just truly fortunate that I'm able to have a second chapter of my career doing something totally different," he says. "But I'm still excited as if it was my first day starting higher education."
In his new role, Smith plans to learn the culture of the institution and engage the Bridgeport, Connecticut community to support Housatonic initiatives.
His goal is to also advance the mission of Housatonic, which is to "provide wonderful and outstanding educational opportunities for the population" and "to be a beacon of hope and a beacon of light for individuals who are seeking post-secondary credentials," Smith says.
In addition to his administrative roles, Smith serves as board chair of the Higher Education Consortium and chairman of the board of NewPot Solutions Charitable Foundation.
He has also received a number of accolades such as the Chair Academy International Exemplary Leadership Award, the Missouri Association of College Personnel Richard Caple Award and the Truman State University Distinguished Service Alumni Award.
Throughout his 36-year higher education career, Smith says he has enjoyed commencement ceremonies because "you see the fruits of your labor manifesting with individuals earning a college degree."
"Freshman year, you see this person with a lot of promise," he says. "And then four to five years later, you see them as this outstanding individual who's ready and willing to tackle the world. For me, that's a beautiful part about being in higher education — within four to five years, you see the manifestation of it, opposed to having to wait years and years to see it."
Due to his own experiences, Smith has remained "optimistic about what education can do to equalize the playing field."
"In spite of my poverty, I had to kind of move forward," he adds. "In spite of the racism, I had to move forward. In spite of being poor and being invisible, I had to press my way through."

In the late 1980's, Carol White and her family restored and re-imagined the old dairy farm and it has become one of Victoria's most important rural properties.
European style gardens were planted out to frame and meander around the original stone buildings. Productive vegetable and herb gardens were established to supply the cafe, La Trattoria. Lavender was planted out to provide quality materials for the creation of farm-made body lotions and creams, room mists and insecticides, and essential oil.
La Trattoria eatery serves late breakfasts, morning teas, lunches and afternoon teas. Produce is sourced locally and from its own gardens. The cafe is fully licensed with a good range of local wines, beers and ciders, including its famous lavender champagne.
Lavandula hosts three major festivals each year: Autumn Harvest in May, La Primavera in October and Lavender Harvest in January.
The beautiful garden and La Trattoria is available after-hours for outdoor European-style functions, weddings or birthdays.
Gate fee - $4 per adult Festival Fee - $6 per adult $12 annual membership. (visit as often as you like) Dogs are welcome on leash.


Our task is to estimate the derivative of T numerically at various times. A possible graph of T(t) is sketched in Figure N3–3, but we shall use only the data from the table.
Note that the entries for T ′(t) also represent the approximate slopes of the T curve at times 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and so on.
We see that it is just the average of two difference quotients. Many calculators use the symmetric difference quotient in finding derivatives.
For the function f (x) = x4, approximate f ′(1) using the symmetric difference quotient with h = 0.01.
The exact value of f ′(1), of course, is 4.
The use of the symmetric difference quotient is particularly convenient when, as is often the case, obtaining a derivative precisely (with formulas) is cumbersome and an approximation is all that is needed for practical purposes.
which, as previously noted, is incorrect. The graph of the derivative of f (x) = |x|, which we see in Figure N3–4, shows that f ′(0) does not exist.
If we have the graph of a function f (x), we can use it to graph f ′(x). We accomplish this by estimating the slope of the graph of f (x) at enough points to assure a smooth curve for f ′(x). In Figure N3–5 we see the graph of y = f (x). Below it is a table of the approximate slopes estimated from the graph.
Figure N3–6 was obtained by plotting the points from the table of slopes above and drawing a smooth curve through these points. The result is the graph of y = f ′(x).
(1) At the points where the slope of f (in Figure N3–5) equals 0, the graph of f ′(Figure N3–6) has x-intercepts: approximately x = −1.8 and x = 1.1. We've drawn horizontal broken lines at these points on the curve in Figure N3–5.
(2) On intervals where f the derivative is We see here that f decreases for x < −1.8 (approximately) and for x > 1.1 (approximately), and that f increases for −1.8 < x < 1.1 (approximately). In Chapter 4 we discuss other behaviors of f that are reflected in the graph of f ′.

Guest Blog #6: "The Siege of Salt Cove" (Geo Beach)
Geo Beach and I have been close friends for nearly a half-century; his literary wisdom and counsel stand behind every line of poetry and prose I have written. No him, no me. This review meant the world to me when it appeared in the Anchorage Daily News in 2004, and still resonates deeply.
As an appreciative reader of WriteWeller's timeless and world-wide "A Regular Irregular Blog," it's my privilege to have a couple of worthy columns appended here. They come from faraway Alaska in the distant Noughties, but the topics have grown closer even, and continue to resonate beyond transitory events. I hope new readers will consider my recommendations and pick up copies of The Siege of Salt Cove and First Into Nagasaki. Our worlds today are still at war, and we need, again, the brave writer who might lead us, laughing and crying, to break the siege of monetized media and predictable publishing and help free our thoughts and hearts.
Independent journalist Geo Beach writes for Anchorage Daily News, National Public Radio, History TV, and TomPaine.com.
Sure, Alaska is in the Americas. But, united with other states? That's a matter of opinion. And that's one reason why Anthony Weller's The Siege of Salt Cove is the summer's salient book. As well as the funniest and most poignant, a Far Side farce come true.
When Anthony Weller and I met in high school he was already a good writer. The son of George Weller, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter posted to overseas assignments, Anthony consequently grew up largely in correspondence with his father, a childhood mapped out on onionskin, Par Avion tricolors to and fro across oceans.
That will sharpen your eye, and your pen.
After college, Anthony himself began a colorful career as a foreign correspondent, writing for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Playboy, and National Geographic. Then he started writing books – about the Caribbean, where he spent summers; Eastern Europe, where he played jazz; and the Indian subcontinent, where he traversed miles and millennia toe-to-tip on the Grand Trunk Road.
Weller has returned to the United States for the locale of his new novel, and just in time.
America seems like another country now, in need of a well-traveled perspective to accurately report it. It's someplace else. Alaskans have long understood that – "Outside" is anyplace that's not Alaska, without distinction between the US and other foreign countries. And Weller understands – he knows Lower-48ers think their America is someplace else now too.
Salt Cove is a New England village with a problem. The state has decreed the demolition of a 200-year-old wooden bridge, intending to replace it with a concrete monstrosity. The villagers attempt negotiation; the bureaucrats are intransigent. So in brave desperation, Salt Cove secedes from the Commonwealth and the Union.
When The Sals (Outsiders call them Saltines) persist in their opposition to diktat, the government brings in SWAT teams and the National Guard. Big guns are deployed, lives lost, little won.
Sound familiar? The US Navy shelled the villages of Kake and Wrangell in 1869 and destroyed Angoon in 1882. And since statehood, many Alaskans have felt in a perpetual state of siege to the alphanumerics of federal government, from ANCSA's d-2 lands to ANWR's 1002 Area.
But Salt Cove doesn't echo just ancient history. These days, Girdwood talks about seceding from the Municipality of Anchorage. In the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Homer freethinkers ponder whether to secede and form their own Kachemak Country Borough. And statewide, the Alaskan Independence Party was built upon the rough-cut plank of secession from the US. Venitie went to the Supreme Court declaring itself Indian Country, a sovereign nation.
The memory of secession in The States is wrapped in the racism of the war between them. But there was that earlier, brighter history – The Declaration of Secession that will be celebrated again on the Fourth of July.
And The Siege of Salt Cove celebrates independence with a marvelous teapartytime sensibility – half Boston Patriots, half Mad Hatters. Weller unleashes a chorus of 39 narrative voices, so Salt Cove shouts and whispers like a small town meeting. As in life, you have to determine where truth lies.
Weller knows, "from Alaska to Long Island's South Fork to Cherokee Nation, an island in the Rio Grande, and multiple Indian protests on Martha's Vineyard, in Vermont, in Maine… Everyone wants his own country."
Since the passage of the Patriot Act, lots of Americans have decided they just want their own country back. More than 250 towns, including Anchorage, have passed resolutions against the Pat Act, with its erosion of representative government and civil liberties. And so have four states – Yankee Maine and Vermont, plus Hawaii and Alaska.
Despite being bullied, regular folks in small towns are standing up to intrusive big government – and Weller is master here. His dark satire conveys a moving humanity – lives, loves, loss, laughter – exposing truths about domestic enemies as his father did about foreign threats. Today, though, the real story isn't on the front page, it's between the hardcovers of well-wrought fiction.
Whether you're reading on the back deck of a boat or in the backyard deck chair, The Siege of Salt Cove is a manual for modern Alaskans – Americans who have always been more than summer soldiers and sunshine patriots.

With her single "thank u, next," some folks thought Ariana Grande was trying to get back at her ex-fiance, Pete Davidson. Turns out, she has nothing but love for her ex -- at least, that's what the pop singer claims after Pete's sincere address on Instagram.
The Saturday Night Live comedian recently opened up about online bullying, the modern state of social media, and his mental health. In response to his bleeding heart post, Grande asked her fans and followers to be more considerate, empathetic and mindful of what they say, particularly to people they don't know personally -- online and otherwise.
i know u already know this but i feel i need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others. i really don't endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity. i care deeply about Pete and his health. i'm asking you to please be gentler with others, even on the internet.
Ariana Grande made this social media address and response on Instagram Story, and they were captured and saved by Entertainment Tonight. While Grande and Pete Davidson haven't publicly divulged what caused their relationship to shatter, they ended their relationship almost as quickly as they got together.
Rumors indicated that Peter Davidson was perhaps the person to blame for the split. That caused some folks online to bully and harass the comedian in a variety of fashions, a process that has been difficult He has been open in the past about his mental health concerns.
Peter Davidson explained on SNL that the breakup details will likely remain a mystery since it's a private matter, maintaining it's nobody's business to know. But the lack of clarity caused some fans to jump the gun and speculate that Davidson did something wrong. Hopefully, Grande's caring words will cause a few people to reconsider anything negative and hostile they might say to Pete Davidson and, instead, let him live out his day in peace, away from bullying.
i've learned thru my own mistakes not to be reactive on socials so i do understand. but you truly don't know what anybody is experiencing ever. regardless of what they choose to display on social media or how they may appear in public. I can promise u that. so please let whatever point you're trying to make go. I will always have irrevocable love for him and if you've gotten any other impression from my recent work, you might have missed the point.
We're sure to hear more from Ariana Grande in the future, as the pop singer is vocal on social media. And CinemaBlend definitely keep you posted on the latest details and developments that arise from her much-discussed life.
With the film reference-heavy music video for "thank u, next" garnering over 100 million views on YouTube -- at the time of this reporting -- there's no denying the fact that Ariana Grande is bigger than ever at this point in her life and career. Hopefully, Grande's very massive, always-growing influence on social media and abroad will help Pete Davidson out -- particularly during his turbulent time of troubles.

Diplo And Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Drop "Hey Baby" Video
By Connor Jones @connorjonesedm 3 years ago
Fans of Diplo have been in for some major releases this week. Not only did his dancehall three piece Major Lazer drop an Indian remix of "Cold Water" for Diwali, but the producer finally unleashed his collaboration with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, titled "Hey Baby," as well. As if that weren't enough, we now have an animated music video of the new single to enjoy.
The video for "Hey Baby" kicks off with a comic book theme as Diplo, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike are given some special movie theater tickets. They then enter a cinematic world with references to classic films like Terminator, King Kong, Jurassic Park and more. The plot is all over the place as the three producers warp into different realms, ranging from pirates to zombies to knights and dragons.
The music video for "Hey Baby" doesn't exactly feel like the best representation of the song itself, but it's definitely an entertaining piece of eye candy. The cool animation style and myriad of film references bring plenty of visual appeal to the table, while offering up a storyline that's both familiar and new.

Van Bikeradar: 5 things I want to see from Shimano in 2022 | Jack Luke
Navel gazing about Shimano product launches is one of our favourite pastimes here at BikeRadar.
But it's not without good reason – along with SRAM, key launches from the brand are the biggest news in cycling tech, shaping trends in the industry as a whole.
2021 saw the release of two new road groupsets from Shimano – Dura-Ace R9200 and Ultegra R8100 – with both being significant updates that provide some insight into Shimano's overall strategy for the next few years.
Product updates are often cyclical and, with that in mind, I've pooled together the BikeRadar team's knowledge of Shimano gear past and present, to decide on the five key products I want to see from the brand in 2022.
1. Shimano 105 Di2
Shimano's current 105 groupset looks the part – and performs superbly – but will it get an electronic upgrade in 2022?
Simon von Bromley / Immediate Media
Shimano's update to the Dura-Ace and Ultegra road groupsets was the biggest tech news of 2021.
Among other refinements, this saw both move to 12-speed and, for the first time, both were offered solely as an electronic Di2 groupset at launch.
Previously, both the mechanical and electronic versions of Shimano's road bike groupsets would typically be released concurrently – but, unless there's something of a U-turn, mechanical groupsets are dead as far as the brand's two top road drivetrains are concerned.
SRAM has made similar moves in recent years, seemingly ditching its mechanical groupsets by stealth, while updating its electronic RED eTap AXS groupset in 2019.
SRAM then added the cheaper Force groupset to the eTap AXS family shortly after, with the third-tier Rival eTap AXS following in 2021.
SRAM moved first to bring electronic shifting down to a third-tier road groupset, with the launch of Rival eTap AXS.
Felix Smith / Immediate Media
The next groupset due to be updated in Shimano's range is 105, and I think there's a strong possibility it will go Di2.
While any electronic version of 105 would have been in the works long before Rival eTap AXS was released to the public, Shimano will not wish to be seen to be lagging behind its biggest rival.
While there is, of course, nothing wrong with mechanical shifting, SRAM has helped reshape the thinking on electronic shifting. Where it was once the reserve of top-spec dream bikes, with the launch of Rival eTap AXS, it is now increasingly seen as a normal spec option on mid-range bikes, albeit in the context of price rises across the market.
Offering an electronic groupset that appeals to buyers in the middle of the market will be key if Shimano wishes to remain at the sharp end.
One thing is for sure: we expect the next Shimano 105 groupset to follow Dura-Ace R9200 (pictured) and Ultegra R8100 to 12-speed shifting.
Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media
If 105 Di2 is in the works, I expect it will also move to 12-speed, adopt the semi-wireless setup seen on Ultegra and Dura-Ace, and get a light aesthetic update.
Would mechanical 105 also get an update at the same time? Or will Shimano extend its commitment to electronic groupsets and ditch mechanical at 105 level?
I'll be spending the next few months snuffling in the undergrowth of the patent office looking for tech truffles that give any hint of what Shimano is up to here. Stay tuned for more.
2. New XTR and XT Di2 groupsets
Shimano was arguably ahead of the curve with the launch of XTR Di2 in 2014. What's next for the brand's electronic groupset line-up?
Irmo Keizer / Shimano
With hindsight, one could argue that Shimano was simply too early to the game with electronic groupsets for mountain bikes, with the launch of XTR Di2 in 2014.
Getting mountain bikers onto electronic groupsets when they weren't even fully established on the road was always going to be a hard task.
Shimano XTR M9050 Di2 and XT M8050 Di2 were, in most respects, very good groupsets, but neither was enthusiastically embraced.
However, things have changed a lot since the arrival of XTR M9050. Electronic groupsets are now widely used on the road and SRAM has normalised the use of electronic groupsets off-road with its wireless Eagle eTap AXS family.
SRAM also played a bit of a blinder by realising the wider possibilities for integration that the AXS family offers.
SRAM's wireless components have helped it steal a march on Shimano when it comes to electronic mountain bike groupsets.
The brand's Reverb AXS wireless dropper post and Flight Attendant suspension control system both integrate into the Eagle family, and this is the big draw of electronic groupsets off-road for many riders.
Is it now time for Shimano to reinvigorate its line-up of electronic MTB components?
Shimano's mechanical XTR M9100 groupset was released in mid-2018, which also puts it in line for an update if we're following Shimano's typical four-year product cycle.
If it is due to be updated, we wouldn't be surprised if a Di2 version was released alongside a mechanical groupset.
3. Parts availability
Shimano spares are likely to remain in short supply in 2022 – but we can hope!
Simon Bromley / Immediate Media
I say this with absolutely no intention of throwing shade at Shimano – not even the biggest manufacturer of cycling components could have predicted the huge growth that cycling as a whole has experienced over the last two years.
Nor could Shimano have predicted the labour and raw material shortages that have affected all industries.
And I would guess the brand wasn't expecting to be hit by fires, floods and now – of all things – highway robbery!
As a result, some Shimano parts have become almost impossible to get hold of.
All of this has conspired to make the past couple of years enormously frustrating for bike brands, shops and consumers, but I'm sure it's equally frustrating for Shimano – what brand would ever wish poor availability and impossible-to-forecast demand upon itself?
Of course, Shimano is far from alone here, and I simply wish good fortune – and plentiful chains, cassettes and brake pads – upon all manufacturers, both big and small, for the year(s) ahead.
4. Updated GRX
Shimano broke new ground with the launch of GRX as a gravel-specific groupset.
Cast your mind back to May 2019, when Shimano released its then-brand-spanking-new Shimano GRX gravel groupset family.
Offering a 1x option, three spec levels (including Di2) and a range of wheelsets, GRX – the world's first gravel-specific groupset – was groundbreaking for Shimano and the industry as a whole.
It's now widely specced on many of the best gravel bikes out there and is consistently praised by all here at BikeRadar.
However, since then, it's been all quiet from Shimano on the gravel front.
That's not totally surprising – generally speaking, Shimano groupsets are updated on a three-to-five-year cycle.
SRAM has continued to push the envelope with the launch of XPLR.
Andy Lloyd / Immediate Media
While that would make an update to GRX a little bit premature, it wouldn't come as a huge surprise if the brand brought forward a launch of an updated GRX groupset to stay ahead of the curve, particularly following last year's arrival of SRAM XPLR, comprising of gravel-specific gearing and a gravel-tuned suspension fork.
Realistically, there's little that I'd look to change with GRX – it is, very good after all – but I expect the next generation will follow Dura-Ace and Ultegra in going 12-speed and getting an aesthetic update.
Assuming a theoretical 12-speed GRX groupset used the same cassette spacing as the brand's mountain bike groupsets, going 12-speed could also open up the possibility of so-called 'mullet builds' on Shimano groupsets, whereby a road/gravel crankset is paired with a wide-ranging MTB cassette.
Exactly how many consumers and bike brands will spec this on their machines is debatable, but one thing is for sure – gravel riding is going to remain one of cycling's hottest tickets and Shimano will want to continue to capitalise on that.
5. Mechanical Dura-Ace
I know I'm not alone in mourning top-end mechanical drivetrain components.
Given the overall trajectory of the road groupset market, this one feels a bit more of a pipe dream, but hey – why not think big?
Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 arguably represented the pinnacle of mechanical road bike shifting with a silky lever feel and reliability that remains pretty much unchallenged.
So good is the performance of R9100 that, in a comparison between SRAM Force eTap AXS and Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050, BikeRadar's former senior writer Matthew Loveridge decided he would buy neither, and would opt for mechanical Dura-Ace instead.
Since Dura-Ace R9200 launched as an electronic-only groupset, there have been no rumours, gossip or hearsay to suggest that a new mechanical Dura-Ace (or Ultegra, for that matter) groupset is in the works, and that feels like a missed opportunity.
While few would turn down the opportunity to own Dura-Ace R9200 Di2, there are some holdouts, and we'd love to see the option of a mechanical groupset available at the top-end of the sport.
Are mechanical groupset fans set to become the new rim-brake luddites? Will cable bores be excluded from the 12-speed community? Time will tell, but we won't hold our breath.

Popular Vermont Punk Music Venue Has Final Show
21 bands played at Saturday's show at 242 Main in Burlington

A microphone sits on the edge of a stage.
The final show has taken place at a popular Vermont punk music venue that's closing its doors after 32 years.
Vermont Public Radio reports 21 bands played at Saturday's show at 242 Main in Burlington.
The city of Burlington, which owns the building, is closing it down due to structural problems.
The venue called itself the country's oldest, all-ages punk club and prided itself on being a substance-free space for teenagers and others to gather.
Jane Sanders, the wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders, helped set up the venue in the 1980s as director of the Mayor's Youth Office. Bernie Sanders was mayor at the time.
Burlington plans to start a series at different venues around the city called 242 Main Presents. It's aimed at giving young performers an outlet for their work.


Livin 'is easy and Sweet Dreams – it's summertime and we try to stop worrying about anything. But just below the surface – or as you can say about Carlos Aires's works: on the other side of the coin – we find crises, power structures and everything we want to forget. Summertime, and the Livin 'is Easy is Spanish Carlos Aires' first solo show in SPECTA.In video, installation, collages and objects, Carlos Aires confrontes us with our dubious world order and the constant presence of the money, both in collages made of genuine banknotes, and abstract as the symbol of dreams, power and both physical and moral decay. The contrast between the state and the individual, between reality and dreams and between rich and poor are the main themes. And from above on balloons and wallpaper, our founder nations closely watch us.
In the video Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This , two policemen appear in campaign uniforms. They dance a tango version of 80's pop song Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics in the luxurious, golden 19th-century Cerralbo in Madrid. Originally as a dance between two men, the tango developed in Argentina and Uruguay in a cultural mix between the local population and African, Italian and Spanish-speaking immigrants in the poor neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo.
To show us the policemen in their campaign uniform, as Aires does it in the video, is illegal in Spain. The government introduced this anti-democratic law a couple of years ago, as a result of a series of protest demonstrations. The law made it illegal to photograph, make video footage or any other visual documentation of police forces or police uniforms without the government's permission. The video produces a mood of the darker side of the "free world" and generally indicates the ambiguity of the video of the recent years of crisis in Western society, and it poses questions about our means and goals, our fears and our desires.
By destroying the true banknotes, Carlos Aires punctuates the strongest symbols on the nation states, even questioning the value of his own works and the market in which they are part. Wrapped in sweet words from pop songs and with beautiful clear colors, Aires' fine-cut banknotes seduce us and confront us with the Macchia vellian state we are in.

"And the little relief the law provides isn't even being spread around evenly or fairly. The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance reports that property taxpayers in 82 school districts will see little or no benefit under the Republican plan. For example, taxpayers in the Mercer School District will get a tax cut of $1. That's not a dollar each — that's one dollar divided among all the property taxpayers in the district, far short of the mere $13 the average homeowner was told to expect this year. And even if people get some relief under this bill, the average person's property taxes will still rise in both 2013 and 2014.
The Republicans raised property taxes to give tax breaks to unaccountable private voucher schools. They refused federal health care resources that would have saved Wisconsinites money and provided coverage for more people. It is time to put common-sense solutions before partisanship.


What's the deal with zombie movies and social commentary? A lot of the better known walking dead flicks seem to have something to say that runs a bit deeper than the carnage and cannibalism that they celebrate. Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero's first in a series of zombie movies, explored the issues of cold war politics and race. The follow up, Dawn of the Dead, was a scathing critique on rampant consumerism whilst having a sly dig at religion while it was at it. Day of the Dead had a pop at the notion of masculinity and the military. The Resident Evil series illustrates what happens when multinational companies get to wield too much power, and the subtext of Shaun of the Dead is about the general isolation and self centeredness that characterises modern life.
Zombies of Mass Destruction joins the ranks of horror films with a message, but this time it's terrrrr-rists!
The plot follows the fortunes of gay couple Tom (Doug Fahl) and Lance (Cooper Hopkins), and Iranian-American cutie Frida (Janette Armand); Tom has returned to his home of Port Gamble with the intention of coming out to his mother, but is deeply uncomfortable about breaking the news to her. Frida is back in town after dropping out of Princeton University to live with her over-protective father, restaurant owner Ali (Ali Abbas). In the meantime, Mayor Burton (James Mesher) is running against his crazy haired ex-wife Cheryl (Cornelia Moore) for office, and the splendidly named resident bible-thumper Reverend Haggis (Bill Johns) busies himself denouncing gays, single mothers and those of loose morals to his flock.
The carnage starts when Frida and her flaky boyfriend Derek (Ryan Barret) are attacked whilst out on a date at the old horror movie staple, the town make-out point. Whilst Frida is barely escaping with her life, Tom and Lance are having an awkward dinner with Tom's mother. Tom's admission of his sexuality hits a snag when his mother turns into a ghoul, and the two escape to the local church, where the town's homophobic congregation have holed up. Frida, however, is taken captive by the town racist Joe Miller (Russell Hodgkinson, looking like a redneck Bill Bailey) after he sees a news bulletin blaming the zombie outbreak on a terrorist, and predictably tars her with the same brush.
Gore, grue and hilarity ensue as our heroes try to escape the clutches of the murderous undead and the insane living.
It took me a good half hour to warm up to this film. As befits any B movie, some of the acting is a little hammy, and there's the odd scene that runs aground on the jagged rocks just off the Coast of Cringe Island, but it hits its stride when Frida tangles with Joe. Director Kevin Hamedani lays on the political messages (homophobes are bad or misguided, Americans are ig'nant about Muslims) a little thickly, but this is where it gets most of its laughs. Joe's interrogation of Frida whilst his mind gradually unravels is a hoot, and Tom and Lance get the lion's share of the best lines.
This isn't to say that ZMD plays it for laughs. It has it's moments of horror, and the special effects are gut-wrenching enough with a reliance on old-school practical effects reminiscent of early Peter Jackson films such as Braindead.
Zombies of Mass Destruction has some weaknesses. For a start, the editing and pacing of the film could be much improved upon, and there are several missed opportunities to foreshadow key events (see Shaun of the Dead for a masterclass on this). There's an underexplored third subtext to the film: that of how principles can be abandoned when given the opportunity of power, and this would have sat far better with the terrorism/xenophobia theme.
The films flaws are annoying, as it could be so much more than what it is – it just whets this reviewer's appetite for Brad Pitt's adaptation of seminal zombie novel World War Z. However, there are still a couple of shocks to be had, along with some genuine laughs. Recommended.

About Anton Chekhov
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (Russian: Антон Павлович Чехов, tr. Antón Pávlovič Čéhov, IPA: [ɐnˈton ˈpavɫəvʲɪtɕ ˈtɕɛxəf]; 29 January 1860 – 15 July 1904) was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."Chekhov renounced the theatre after the reception of The Seagull in 1896, but the play was revived to acclaim in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and premiered his last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences, because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text".Chekhov had at first written stories to earn money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations which have influenced the evolution of the modern short story. He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them.

Skype for Web gets fresh updates with ability to search within chats
Feedback submission deadline for India's draft e-commerce policy extended till 31st March
Published on 09 March 2019, 02:58 Asia/Kolkata Updated on 12 March 2019, 11:04 Asia/Kolkata
The Tech Portal
Microsoft recently announced new updates for it's Skype for Web service, that was launched in 2016. The platform allows users to enjoy the benefits of Skype, without having to use their standalone app. The new updates include HD video calling, redesigned notifications, a fresh media gallery design, and more.
The new notifications panel to let you see every time someone has mentioned or quoted you in the same place. There's also a new feature that lets you search within individual conversations. However, considering all of these features have been made live on the web version, a fine bandwidth is required to make sure you are able to use all of these. It will be good to do a speedcheck for the same if possible to gauge the right internet bandwidth for Skype For Web to run.
Users can now find messages in the current conversation by typing the word or phrase you want to find in the search box. A separate chat media gallery was also added, to store all files, links, and photos shared for easy discovery of content, from all conversations.
"We're always looking for new ways to enhance the experience, improve quality and reliability, and connect people from any device," Microsoft wrote in a blog post. "Skype has always been about bringing people together. We continue to be driven by the opportunity to connect our global community of hundreds of millions of users, empowering them to feel closer and achieve more together," they also added.
The web platform is currently only available on Microsoft's Edge browser and Google Chrome, running on Windows 10 and macOS 10.12 or higher. Browsers, such as Firefox, Safari, or Opera aren't currently supported.

Notes: This backpacking tent has LED lighting that lights the inside of the tent and makes it visible from the outside in the dark. I was initially unsure that I would trade this kind of convenience for the cost of additional weight. However, upon further inspection, the lighting does not seem to add much to the weight (probably on the order of single digit ounces). Furthermore, I find the lighting useful when camping in the woods on a moonless night. I really like having the lighting to find my way back easily if I have to leave the tent in the middle of the night. Therefore, I am glad I purchased the version with the built-in lighting.
Another feature I like about this tent is that it is free standing, but can be staked down. You can pick the tent up still on the frame and shake it out before storing it, which helps minimize maintenance. This tent is very easy to set up and the instructions are super easy to follow. Additionally, you have the option of pitching only the rain fly if you so chose.
