CPLS participates in the Federal School Lunch Program.
Kindergarten – 4th grade students may only purchase hot lunch and milk.
Students in 5th – 12th grade may also purchase a Chef Salad and healthy snack choices from the Cafeteria. Extra milk and/or juice is available for purchase, or water from the fountain is always available during each lunch period.
Milk is included with the purchase of each meal.
Students sign up for hot lunch during the first few minutes of class each day. It is important that the count be accurate because the kitchen uses this count to prepare lunches. If your student will be arriving late for school, please call the school by 9:00 a.m. to reserve a hot lunch. Also, if you are planning to take your child out to lunch, make sure they are aware so they will not sign up for a lunch.
Families can apply to receive a free or reduced lunch through the Federal School Lunch Program. Applications can be returned to the Business Office in person, via email or through USPS.
Questions about the CPLS lunch program? Contact Jeanette Boyd, Food Service Manager.
CPLS uses the lunch tracking system through FACTS. Each student, teacher and staff member is assigned a FACTS prepay lunch account and may use their lunch accounts in lieu of paying with cash or check each meal to purchase hot lunches, salads, milk, and any other items that may be offered from the CPLS Food Program. These purchases may be made by means of debiting against the positive balances held in the prepay lunch accounts. Lunch accounts can be funded by online payment through FACTS (accessible through ParentsWeb), or by cash or check, payable to Cair Paravel Latin School. RenWeb lunch accounts must maintain positive balances at all times. If an account is lowered to $10.00, an email will be sent to parents or employees as a reminder to add funds to the account.
If a RenWeb lunch account does reach a zero balance and no cash or check payment for a day's meal is available, the account holder will only be allowed to purchase a hot lunch. Extra purchases will not be allowed. Everyone is always able to purchase anything from the Food Program each day when paying with cash or check, regardless of any account balance.
Kindergarten through fourth grade may only purchase hot lunch and milk from the Food Program. Fifth through twelfth grades may also purchase salad or healthy food items from the program. Water from a nearby water fountain is always available to every student during lunch time.


Benjamin Graham taught that Intelligent Investors must do a thorough fundamental analysis of investment opportunities to determine their intrinsic value and inherent risk. This is best done by utilizing a systematic approach to analysis that will provide investors with a sense of how a specific company compares to another company or by reviewing the 10 Stocks for Using A Benjamin Graham Value Investing Strategy – March 2017. By using the ModernGraham method one can review a company's historical accomplishments and determine an intrinsic value that can be compared across industries. What follows is a stock analysis showing a specific look at how Cousins Properties Inc (CUZ) fares in the ModernGraham valuation model.
Company Profile (obtained from Google Finance): Cousins Properties Incorporated is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust. The Company's segments include Office, Mixed-Use, Other, Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix and Other. It develops, acquires, leases, manages and owns primarily Class A office properties and opportunistic mixed-use developments in Sunbelt markets with a focus on Georgia, Texas and North Carolina. It manages a 15.8 million-square-foot trophy office portfolio in the Sun Belt markets of Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Orlando, Tampa and Tempe. As of December 31, 2016, its portfolio of real estate assets consisted of interests in 16.2 million square feet of office space and 786,000 square feet of mixed-use space. The Company, through Cousins TRS Services LLC, owns and manages its own real estate portfolio and performs certain real estate related services for other parties. Its properties include Colorado Tower, 816 Congress, Emory Point Apartments and Emory Point Retail.
Cousins Properties Inc does not satisfy the requirements of either the Enterprising Investor or the more conservative Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the low current ratio, insufficient earnings stability over the last ten years, and the high PEmg ratio. The Enterprising Investor has concerns regarding the level of debt relative to the current assets. As a result, all value investors following the ModernGraham approach should explore other opportunities at this time or proceed cautiously with a speculative attitude.
As for a valuation, the company appears to be Undervalued after growing its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $0.05 in 2013 to an estimated $0.39 for 2017. This level of demonstrated earnings growth outpaces the market's implied estimate of 6.33% annual earnings growth over the next 7-10 years. As a result, the ModernGraham valuation model, based on the Benjamin Graham value investing formula, returns an estimate of intrinsic value above the price.
At the time of valuation, further research into Cousins Properties Inc revealed the company was trading above its Graham Number of $6.69. The company pays a dividend of $0.32 per share, for a yield of 3.9%, putting it among the best dividend paying stocks today. Its PEmg (price over earnings per share – ModernGraham) was 21.15, which was below the industry average of 31.91, which by some methods of valuation makes it one of the most undervalued stocks in its industry. Finally, the company was trading above its Net Current Asset Value (NCAV) of $-6.24.
Cousins Properties Inc receives an average overall rating in the ModernGraham grading system, scoring a C.

Q: Filtering all objects apart from one and changing their values I have an object which I want to filter only by shops:

const items = {
    "cars": {
        "porshe": {
            "active": true
        }
    },
    "shops": {
        "primark": {
            "active": true
        },
        "zara": {
            "active": true
        },
        "nike": {
            "active": true
        }
    }
}

 const filtered = Object.keys(items)
                .filter((key) => !['cars'].includes(key))
                .reduce((shops, key) => {
                    shops[key] = items[key];
                    return shops[key];
                }, {});

console.log(filtered);

Now I want to update all active values for "primark", "zara" and "nike" to active:false, and update my items object.
I have no idea how I can achieve that, I will be very grateful for every replies :)

A: Sometimes you only need simple for in loop for object updates which is faster.
for (let key in items.shops) {
  items.shops[key].active = false
}

Now you can check it with console.log(items);

Considered one of by far the most prevalent electrical wiring issues is on how to wire a change. Whilst using switches at your home is fairly effortless, wiring 1 might not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. You'll find several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you happen to be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly widespread swap (and also the easiest).
You will find a few colours of wires in a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them to the terminal screws - a person on major and also the other within the bottom screw in the swap. The white wire serves for a resource of uninterrupted ability and is also normally connected to your light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the inexperienced wire for the ground screw of your respective change.
These ways would commonly be sufficient to generate an average switch do the job without having a challenge. However, when you are usually not assured you can achieve the endeavor appropriately and properly you greater let the pros get it done alternatively. Following all, there is a cause why this undertaking has become the most common electrical wiring inquiries requested by most of the people.
For some motive, ways to wire a ceiling fan can also be among by far the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize one swap for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it is really just a make any difference of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan into the black wire of the change. When there is a light, the blue wire must be linked for the black wire of your swap too.
You will discover reasons why these are typically the most frequently questioned electrical wiring thoughts. 1, numerous feel it is really easy to perform, and two, these are typically the frequent electrical responsibilities at home. But then you should not put your safety in danger within your objective to save money. The stakes could even be much greater in case you attempt to save cash and do an electrical wiring task without having enough expertise or knowledge.


For centuries the Dayaks of Borneo have used the strength of rattan to fashion working baskets made to last in an extreme environment. These rainforest baskets are really tough and the handles do not drop off as they are woven into the structure of the basket.
We use the dark rattan considered waste by the rattan factories and this gives each basket a unique natural colour. We do not use toxic chemicals or dyes and the baskets are shipped to the UK from the jungle. The raw rattan canes are not transported thousands of miles by road and sea to factories in Java or China before they even start the journey to Europe.
The Planet Basket Project is a small but critical part of the larger Katingan Project, an important rainforest ERC (Eco System Restoration Concession) and aims to create vital revenue for people who would otherwise have little or no alternative to illegal logging, clearing forest for palm oil cultivation or poaching endangered species including orangutan, pangolin, cloud leopards and orchids.
The Katingan Peatland Restoration and Conservation Project ERC is based on the premise that we can still save large areas of peat swamp forest in Indonesian Borneo, offer local people sustainable sources of income, tackle global climate change and base this on a solid business model. What defines us is a no-nonsense, transparent and result-oriented approach to land-use and conservation in a part of the world where this is needed most.

US striker Pefok's bid for World Cup spot helps Union Berlin
BERLIN (AP) — Jordan Pefok's bid to make the United States' World Cup squad is helping Union Berlin cast an unprecedented spell atop the Bundesliga.
Pefok scored the opening goal in the Union's victory over Wolfsburg on Sunday, just four days after he was excluded from US coach Gregg Berhalter's 26-man squad for games against Japan and Saudi Arabia.
"Who doesn't expect to play in the World Cup when their country is qualified?" Pefok asked.
Berhalter said he already knows what Pefok can do. But with only two months to go until the tournament in Qatar, Pefok wants to make sure.
The 26-year-old striker tormented the Wolfsburg defence, slipping back again and again and then capping his display with a header that took his tally to three goals in six Bundesliga appearances this season so far.
Union won 2-0, opening a two-point lead over Borussia Dortmund after seven games. It is the first time that the Köpenick club has reached the top. Union was only promoted to the Bundesliga in 2019.
"I'd be lying if I said I knew how well it would go," said Pefok, who joined the Union in the offseason from Young Boys, with whom he was the Swiss league's top scorer with 22 goals last season.
"I joined a fantastic group: the club staff, the fans, a truly great atmosphere. And I think all of that is what makes us successful today," Pefok said. "We really are a family that likes to spend time together, that likes to have fun together. Even after losses, we quickly put them out of our minds, talk, rest and move on. I hope it continues like this".
Union have only experienced one loss in European competition this season, both narrow defeats to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Braga in the Europa League, which Union is playing for the first time after their remarkable fifth-place finish in the Bundesliga last season.
This season, they are the only undefeated team left in the German league.
Pefok has played a key role in that, forming an exciting partnership with Suriname striker Sheraldo Becker, who scored the other goal on Sunday, helping in defense and setting up two goals on top of the three he scored.
Pefok was speaking after Sunday's game when Wolfsburg sporting director Jörg Schmadtke stopped by to congratulate the player on his performance.
The French-speaking American hopes that Berhalter is also paying attention.
The United States coach selected Josh Sargent from second-tier Norwich, Jesús Ferreira from Dallas and Ricardo Pepi, on loan to Groningen from Augsburg, for friendlies against Japan in Düsseldorf, Germany on Friday and Saudi Arabia four days later in Murcia, Spain. .
"We have been consistent in saying that he may not be the best striker in the group. He's a guy that's a better fit for what we're doing," Berhalter said.
Pefok said he will be ready for the World Cup.
"The coach decides," said Pefok. "Me, I play the games with happiness. I keep trying to do my best. Later, as we say in France, it is at the end of the dance that we pay the musicians".
Pefok, who has one goal in nine appearances for the United States, added: "I think it's up to me to keep doing what I'm trying to do. Stay focused. I was not called up for this training camp, but there you have it, my chances are not zero. We will see in the end who is called up for the World Cup".
Pefok, whose full name is Theoson-Jordan Siebatcheu, wears "Jordan" on his Union jersey and "Pefok" on his national team jersey. Pefok is his mother's maiden name.

text:
Blauer Arbst ist eine Rotweinsorte. Es handelt sich um eine Mutation des Spätburgunders. Die Trauben sind robuster als die Spätburgunder-Trauben und wurden früher viel in Baden angebaut. Gemeinsam mit dem Spätburgunder wurde er bereits im frühen 19. Jahrhundert zum Rotwein Affentaler (früher Affenthaler geschrieben) ausgebaut. Die Existenz des Spätburgunders ist seit dem Jahr 1330 im Ort Affental, einem Ortsteil der heutigen Gemeinde Bühl erwähnt.

Der Blaue Arbst ist jedoch heute fast ausgestorben, da der Ertrag sehr schwankend ist. Nach heutiger Lesart gilt der Blaue Arbst nicht mehr als eigenständige Rebsorte, sondern lediglich als ein Klon des Spätburgunders. Es gibt jedoch Projekte, den Blauen Arbst zu retten, so wurden zum Beispiel in der Lage Birkweiler Kastanienbusch in der Pfalz 2009 einige hundert Stöcke neu angepflanzt um aus Blauem Arbst Wein zu keltern und zu verkaufen.

Der Blaue Arbst ist nicht mit dem Blauen Affenthaler (Schreibweise mit "h") identisch, obwohl ein Synonym identisch ist. Beide Sorten wurden jedoch im 19. Jahrhundert im Anbaugebiet Württemberg häufig verwechselt und standen vermutlich gemeinsam in den Weinbergen (→ Gemischter Satz).

Synonyme: Affentaler, Arbst, Elsasser Roth, Pineau Franc, Pignola, Rother, Traminer Schwarz

Abstammung: Form des Spätburgunder

Verbreitung: Der Blaue Arbst ist nur in Deutschland anzutreffen und droht auszusterben.

Ampelographische Sortenmerkmale
In der Ampelographie wird der Habitus folgendermaßen beschrieben:
 Die Triebspitze ist offen. Sie ist stark weißlich hellgrün behaart. Die Jungblätter sind anfangs spinnwebig behaart um danach fast unbehaart zu sein.
 Die mittelgroßen dunkelgrünen Blätter sind stark rundlich, meist ganz oder schwach dreilappig,  selten jedoch schwach angedeutet fünflappig. Die Stielbucht ist V-förmig offen. Das Blatt ist stumpf gezähnt. Die Zähne sind im Vergleich der Rebsorten mittelgroß. Die Blattoberfläche (auch Spreite genannt) ist blasig derb.
 Die walzenförmige Traube ist selten geschultert,  mittelgroß, länglich und mäßig dichtbeerig. Die rundlichen bis ovalen Beeren sind klein bis mittelgroß und von dunkelblauer bis violettblauer Farbe. Die Schale der Beere ist mittelstark.

Der Blaue Arbst treibt mittelfrüh aus und ist somit empfindlich gegen eventuelle späte Frühjahrsfröste. Ihn zeichnet jedoch bei guter Holzreife eine gute Winterfrosthärte aus.

Our Classics block for this week is Star of the Night. To create this block you will need the following templates.
The template kits for all my Classics are available through Sue Daley stockists and can be bought directly through Patchwork With Busyfingers. This block should measure 12½" when pieced together (12″ finished).
Many of these blocks can be machine or hand-pieced, depending on your preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. I personally prefer to hand-piece these blocks.
Following the hand piecing instructions sew 5-A pieces together as shown in the diagram.
Sew 4-D pieces to the A piece as shown in the diagram.
Sew 1-C and 1-CR piece to 1-B piece as shown in the diagram.
Sew 1-E and 1-ER pieces to the BCCR piece as shown in the diagram.
Sew 1-F piece to the BCCRER piece as shown in the diagram.
Sew the 4-BCCRER pieces to the AD piece using one continuous thread as shown in the diagram.
The block should now measure 12½" square and should look like this once complete.
As I have mentioned many times, it is a lot of fun to experiment with your own fabric placement. Here are some basic quilt layouts you can try.
Remember to use the #suedaleyclassics hashtag on social media so I can see everyone's creations!


Hydrating yogurt face mask combined with the scrub could be the best decision when your skin loses moisture and appears with dry patches. The skin is no longer smooth and pleasant to the touch with age. It resembles sandpaper and looks bad. The wrinkles on dry skin are very noticeable, even the small ones.
The skin loses moisture due to many factors, both external and internal. So it's important to know that maintaining the water balance for skin care you have to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
You also have to clean the face daily, to scrub the face once a week and to do moisturizing masks twice a week. In this case, the water balance of your skin will always be normal.
So, the moisturizing mask recipe.
Wash and peel one small potato.
Mash hot potatoes with a fork to make smoother puree. Do not use a blender. When potatoes are crushed in a blender it could get sticky.
Mix hot mashed potatoes with yogurt.
Add a teaspoon of glycerin diluted with water (1:1 ratio).
Glycerin has moisture absorbing properties, so it is not used in the masks in the pure state. Also, do not use glycerin in indoor with humidity below 40-50%. When humidity is insufficient glycerin could take water from the skin.
We can talk about adding glycerin if it is on hand of course. This mask has a moisturizing effect anyway.
Try to make mask quickly until the mixture is too cool.
Apply a warm mask on your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
Rinse off the mask with cool water and apply a moisturizer.
If you do this mask twice a week for about two months, you'll see how your skin will come soft.

Ape Escape's website gets a new update after eight long years
By:Anel Imsirovic - SubReal
Published: 09:58, 05 April 2019
Updated: 14:46, 06 April 2019
The website of the legendary PlayStation series, Ape Escape, has been updated after eight years of silence. With year 2019 marking the 20th anniversary of the first Ape Escape title, the website update leaves lots of room for speculation.
Long time PlayStation fans are sure to remember one of the most classic titles of the console - Ape Escape. First released on the original PlayStation back in 1999, the game was a massive success, and its PlayStation 2 sequels in 2002 and 2005 made it an absolute fan-favourite.
What's interesting about the original Ape Escape title is the fact that it was the first game to fully utilise PlayStation's DualShock. The game's controls demanded the use of both analogue sticks for the first time in the platform's history, which, at the time, was considered revolutionary.
The last rendition of Ape Escape was released about 8 years ago for PlayStation 3 in the form of a PS Move title, and there has been no word on any updates about a new Ape Escape title ever since. However, this may well change soon enough, if the recent update of Ape Escape's website is anything to go by.
Namely, thanks to a Twitter user named Muumuu who was the first to notice the change on the game's Japanese website , a number of speculations come to mind: are we getting a new Ape Escape game? Will some of the previous titles be remastered or fully remade in the future?
None of these questions and assumptions are too far-fetched if we take into consideration the fact that 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the original Ape Escape title.
It is a known fact that Sony are not exactly strangers to celebrating anniversaries of their classic games, nor do they have anything against making remakes and remasters. Ratchet and Clank, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot - these are only some of the iconic PlayStation names who have received a modern makeover, so seeing Ape Escape join this lineup isn't highly unlikely by any means.
But of course, since these are all merely speculations and assumptions based on the website update, we suggest you take everything with a grain of salt and don't go about raising your expectations sky-high just yet.
Sony We're certain that a new Ape Escape game would be very well received.
We will keep an eye out on the website in case any further changes take place, so be sure to check back here for any potential updates.

The availability of the confidential microdata through RDCs has provided Canadian researchers with a great tool and rich resources to address new research questions difficult to address with the public use versions of those data (PUMF). This potential is now further expanded with the addition of administrative data to the RDCs and the possibility of linking administrative from public agencies and StatCan survey data.

It has been a relatively quiet month here at home over the Thanksgiving holiday, with real winter weather outside, and little opportunity for exercise other than walking around the neighborhood, when it hasn't been raining or snowbound. Had extraordinary storms and snow here in the Chicago area in late November. But I did start sessions on my stationary bicycle the week before last, so I am getting some more aggressive cardiovascular workouts lately.
But this current week I've had a definite uptick in activity, having had review meetings with four different medical teams, in these past four days. So let me cover what arose in all of those sessions.
Last week I spent a day at the University of Chicago hospital, and underwent another Bone Marrow Biopsy procedure, followed by a blood draw for complete lab testing, and then a nuclear PET scan from head to toe. So this week began with a review meeting with Dr Jakubowiak, head of the Stem Cell Transplant team at Univ of Chgo. Couldn't have hoped for better news. The Bone Marrow Biopsy came back completely negative for Myeloma, confirming that my myeloma disease is currently in complete remission. While this does not represent a cure (multiple myeloma is still considered an incurable condition), at this time I have no active myeloma disease evident in my bone marrow, and my blood counts are all normal or very close to that. Hemoglobin level is higher than it's been in three years, and I'm really feeling peppier than in a very long time. And the PET scan shows no active skeletal lesions, so I do not have any significant skeletal deterioration from the myeloma invasion that I've been suffering from over the past 3-4 years. While they don't have enough history on patients who have undergone the specific treatment protocol I've received over these past few months -- involving drugs which were approved in 2012 and 2015 -- a large fraction of the patients involved in those trials back in 2012 are still in remission as of this year, so the prognosis for me today is much more favorable than the "official" 33 months, which is still quoted in the literature for newly-diagnosed myeloma patients.
After reviewing these results with Dr J, he endorsed my moving on to some more aggressive forms of activity, and while he said that they generally recommend that myeloma patients not ski (due to frequent skeletal weakening), that given the latest PET scan results on me, that if I proceed carefully, he would not forbid me from skiing now. Just take it easy -- which will exclude racing for now. Next month we will begin a regimen of "maintenance therapy", which will consist of oral chemotherapy treatment -- the same drug used in the 16 weeks of intensive chemotherapy I underwent from May through August this year, but at lower dosage. And without the accompanying oral steroid and a related infusion cancer-killing drug. So that should help prolong the current remission condition as long as possible.
Turns out my local ski club was having an outing at Wilmot mountain that very evening, and so once I got home I dug out the ski wear and other gear and headed up to Wilmot. While I started out very leery on an easier run, that felt so good that after a few such turns, I went right to the main run in front of the lodge and found I was able to handle that with no problem. Most noticeable was that at the conclusion of a run down that slope, I found myself breathing easily and able to talk, whereas the last time I skied that run, back in March of this year, just before I had been diagnosed as having myeloma, at the conclusion of a run I was completely out of breath and gasping and unable to even talk. What a difference !!! While my musculature is weaker from the relative inactivity over these past 2-3 months with the Stem Cell transplant and resulting inactivity, my cardiovascular capacity is ever so much better now than it was 8 months ago.
Still, after about an hour on the hill, my quads were definitely complaining to me, so that was enough for the first day on the snow this season. But proves that I'm now ready to start working more aggressively to get back into condition. Yippee.
The next day i had a session with my family doctor, where we reviewed the recommended schedule for re-vaccinations that I need to go through. As a byproduct of killing off my bone marrow and rebuilding a complete new foundation, that lost me all of the life-long vaccinations that I've had -- so we need to do those all over again, over the next 18 months or so. Which will be done by my family doctor. We reviewed that schedule and set up appointments for all of those shots, which will not complete until spring 2020. But that's now wired up.
Then the next day I went to see my urologist for a review on the Prostate Cancer situation. While I had my prostate removed in late 2013, and then subsequently underwent 7 weeks of radiation therapy in early 2016, during 2017 my PSA levels had been again rapidly rising, and my urologist was concerned and had been recommending hormone therapy by March of this year -- but the Multiple Myeloma diagnosis which arose the following month put the Prostate situation onto the back burner -- the Myeloma cancer situation became the 500 pound gorilla in April and since then. But now that we've got the Myeloma disease into remission, the time has come to revisit what's going on with the Prostate. Well since March, we did take PSA blood test samples in June and September and then just last week in December. And what we find now is that the PSA levels over these past 9 months have leveled off and are relatively stable, at a level just over 0.5 -- which absent the previous rising trend, is a comfortable level. So hoping that stability continues, this says that the prostate situation is not of major concern at this time. We'll continue to monitor that on a quarterly basis, but we're hopeful that a stable condition has been achieved. Couldn't have hoped for a better result on that front.
And then today I had a visit with the Orthopedic folks, to review the status of my fractured shoulder (Distal Clavicle fracture) from the bike accident back in August. The x-ray shows that healing has progressed well, and after skiing and polling myself around the ski hill earlier this week, had no significant discomfort in either shoulder -- just the normal "after the first ski day of the season" experience. Which is actually a good feeling -- shows I'm doing good stuff. So I'm now discharged from oversight by the Ortho gods as well.
Now switching to another front. Since my last journal entry, the week before Thanksgiving I received word from my employer (Sears), that in conjunction with their financial reorganization, they were undergoing a major reduction in force in the corporate organization, and that my job was being eliminated, effective immediately. While I was at that time still on a medical disability leave of absence, what this meant was that I no longer have a job to go back to, and once the ten week severance salary continuation period ends, in late January, I will no longer be on the payroll. So today I had a meeting with my financial advisor, and since I did not elect to retire when I turned 66 back in 2011, in the almost eight years that have elapsed since, we have managed to add enough excess income into appropriate retirement instruments, that it looks like with social security benefits plus distributions from those retirement accounts, that Jean and I will be able to continue with a comfortable modest lifestyle, without a paycheck anymore. So in another few weeks I will be officially retired.
Which will permit me to continue to focus on health issues, and to pursue other activities, like golf and kayaking and bicycling and skiing and who knows what else. So this becomes a new phase for us in the lifecycle. So glad to be getting back to a good state of health and be able to enjoy the leisure.
So while both of the two forms of cancer which I've experienced are currently under control, the near future appears to consist of relative clear sailing on the medical front. Consequently I do not expect to be posting additional entries to this journal -- I'm going to be busy enjoying my renewed lease on life.
In closing, I must thank all of you readers who have been following this journal for your support and prayers over these last months. Those prayers and good wishes have been answered more than I could possibly have hoped for, and I am forever grateful for your loving friendship. I'm hopeful that we will run into one another in person over the coming months and years.

Two attacks in Colombia show the ELN as a binational guerrilla that distances itself from negotiations | International
Security personnel inspect a National Police truck destroyed by an explosive device in Cali, Colombia, on January 8, 2022.PAOLA MAFLA (AFP)
The last active guerrilla in Colombia has made itself felt again. The wave of violence unleashed by the ELN in its confrontation with the FARC dissidents shook the beginning of the week – and the new year – with 27 murders in the department of Arauca, on the border with Venezuela. And the week ended on Friday with the umpteenth attack by the insurgency against the public force, an attack with explosives against a police truck in the city of Cali that left 13 soldiers wounded.
"Their interest in influencing this year's electoral process with the support of socialist and communist dictatorships is clear," President Iván Duque declared this Saturday after the ELN attack, rejected by all political forces. The country has legislative elections in March and presidential elections in May. "Colombia will not bow down nor will it ever bow to terrorism," added the president about a guerrilla group that, with its actions, has made any type of negotiation difficult during his tenure.
The power vacuum left by the FARC after the demobilization of 13,000 of its members has been filled not only by dissidents and other paramilitary groups that have various populations in Colombia in check, but has also led to the self-styled National Liberation Army establish itself as the main illegal group in the country. But, in addition, as the InSight Crime thought center affirms, it is a criminal organization that is disputed in both Colombia and Venezuela "all the main criminal economies", especially illegal gold mining and drug trafficking.
The Colombian Defense Minister, Diego Molano, third from the left, observes, together with the military and police leadership, the data caused by the attack this Saturday in Cali. National Police of Colombia (EFE / National Police of Colombia)
With Catholic roots and founded in 1964, inspired by the Cuban revolution, the ELN guerrilla now has an international dimension, several analysts warn. "The ELN has gone on to become a sort of binational army. His objective is no longer so much the seizure of power in Colombia, but the defense of the Bolivarian revolution "in Venezuela, says Jorge Mantilla, director of Conflict Dynamics at the Ideas for Peace Foundation (FIP).
Although not all agree, they acknowledge its presence on the other side of the long and porous border with Venezuela. "This presence is similar to the one they have in other regions, controlling businesses such as illegal mining in the Orinoco river belt, basically to capture rents, and not of an ideological nature," says Martha Márquez, director of the Center for Popular Research and Education. (Cinep).

No report dares to give certainty about the current number of ELN fighters or the percentage of them who are on the Venezuelan side. However, General Luis Fernando Navarro, commander of the Colombian Armed Forces, has calculated that the guerrilla had 2,350 combatants in 2021, of which 1,200 move to the Venezuelan states of Táchira, Apure, Zulia and Amazonas. Navarro told Reuters that on the border there are also about 700 of the more than 2,000 combatants from dissident groups of the former FARC who did not join the peace process.
The location of 27 bodies in different parts of Arauca has once again set its sights on this guerrilla. Although at first there was talk of armed confrontations between the ELN and the 10th front of the dissidents, the attorney general of Colombia, Francisco Barbosa, assured that all the victims were shot at close range, "in the form of hitmen." I mean, it wasn't about fighting. The victims, he added, were forced to leave their homes, some taken to Venezuela, assassinated and later transferred to Colombian territory. The Defense Ministry has indicated that eight of the deceased had judicial records for different crimes, and two of them were leaders of the dissidents.
The presence of the ELN in an area crossed by two major oil pipelines has been historic. "The ELN does not exist without Arauca. It has been there even before oil was strategic. And in the nineties, when royalties were decentralized, they realized that this is one of the richest regions in the country and developed a strategy to co-opt local democracy, "Juan David Gutiérrez, associate professor at the University, explains to EL PAÍS. del Rosario and an expert in the relationship between the armed conflict and oil.

These alliances with local mayors and governors have also marked the balances and tensions with other armed groups. "In the confrontations between the ELN and the FARC between 2004 and 2010, the ELN ends up prevailing due to its relations with politics," agrees Mantilla. The current governor of Arauca was sent to jail for alleged links with that guerrilla.
For years, the ELN was characterized by destroying oil pipelines and kidnapping oil company workers. One of its worst attacks was the blowing up of a pipeline that killed 70 people in Antioquia, as well as massive and shocking kidnappings such as that of a plane with 46 passengers or the kidnapping of 170 people from La María church, near Cali.
Gutiérrez does not believe that the current confrontations are related to oil revenues and other analysts have spoken of discrepancies over drug trafficking routes and the management of social control during the pandemic. "There is also an international dimension to this conflict, with the interaction of geopolitical actors such as Venezuela and, in another era, the United States," he says. The analyst recalls that Arauca was highly militarized during Plan Colombia and that several oil companies lobbied the United States so that the military resources of that plan, which were originally against coca crops, were also used to protect the pipelines.
Militarization, again
The response of the Government of Iván Duque to the current crisis has also been to send two battalions with 625 men. During his tenure, the military forces have struck against some of the leaders of the ELN's Western War Front in Chocó. Among them alias Uriel, one of its most media figures.
But these blows have not provided protection for the communities that are displaced. According to the Conflict Analysis Resource Center (CERAC), in the last five months the armed confrontations with the participation of that guerrilla have increased steadily. For this reason, through the church and other organizations, in areas such as Chocó, Cauca or Nariño, they ask for peace approaches.
The possibilities are far off. Since that group attacked a cadet school in Bogotá and left 22 dead, in January 2019, President Duque closed the doors to the negotiated route. The president has also demanded that Cuba expel several of the representatives of the ELN Central Command (COCE) who remain in Havana, since former President Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018) began rapprochement with them.
The federated nature, the differentiated regional presence and the autonomy of its fronts make negotiation difficult, analysts confirm. "In the document Why is it so difficult to negotiate with the ELN? We propose that this could even lead to the division of this guerrilla in case there was no consensus on all fronts, and we pointed out that within the COCE there is a strong warmongering line headed by alias Pablito ", explains Márquez, director of CINEP, about the document produced by the priest Fernán González. For her and other analysts, it is necessary to insist on peace agreements that understand the logic of regionalization of the ELN.

Marvel Star Confirms Secret Invasion Directly Leads To MCU Spinoff Movie
in Celebrities, Marvel, News
Pragya Sancheti January 12, 2023, 7:42 am
There has been a lot of speculation since Marvel announced Secret Invasion, the franchise has not given a lot of plot details and kept the series hush-hush. Phase 4 of MCU received a very Lukewarm response, fans accused Marvel of focusing more on quantity and not quality. Series like She-Hulk, Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have been bearing the brunt. Some movies received their due praise as well like Spider-Man: Now way Home and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever shined through and were loved by audiences.
Secret Invasion is a part of that change and the series could lead to a spin-off movie just like WandaVision set up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Six characters have been confirmed for the show including Nick Fury, Talos, Gravik, and Maria Hill.

Don Cheadle reveals a spin-off movie set up by Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion plays a very important part in the Marvel comic books, the storyline creates a lot of heroes and potential cosmic threats. The series will be a "crossover event series" as labeled by Marvel itself. This has created a lot of excitement among fans as to who could feature in the series.
In an interview the actor playing Tony Stark's best friend James Rhodes aka War Machine, Don Cheadle revealed how the series will set up his movie Armor Wars which will be a spin-off. The actor also commented on MCU's continued expansion saying it is bananas and a part of Secret Invasion will kick off Armor Wars.
Cheadle in Iron Man
"It's bananas! And it's very expansive. And obviously, now that everyone can show up in everybody else's story… I mean, I'm in 'Secret Invasion'. So I'm in Sam [Jackson]'s show. There's a part of that, that kicks off what happens in Armor Wars."
He did not reveal what is "that part", it could be his character development or some plot development that could potentially lead to Armor Wars. Armor Wars has created excitement also because it was going to be another series but the creators feel that the story is too important to be told on the small screen, they believe it is a spectacle people should witness on the big screen.

War Machine and Tony Stark
The actor also expressed his concerns about the constant expansion of the Marvel universe, he said hoping that there will be some quality control and the universe does not get spread too thin, these comments were in light of recent films and shows.
"So yeah, it can go on and on and on… hopefully it doesn't get spread too thin. And there's still some quality control and not just trying to expand for expansion's sake. But there's a clear idea about the storytelling and what you're trying to accomplish with every iteration."
Interestingly the actor nudged towards a more well-rounded, deep, layered character of War Machine. He commented on how his character has mostly been on the sidelines and no one really got to know him, this movie will probably delve into his character's wants, feelings, and, how he is dealing with the loss of his best friend. The War Machine actor however confirmed that it will all be in line with the MCU lore.

Cheadle as War Machine
"I don't think we've ever really dug into him, and now it's an opportunity explore his emotional life, his interior life, his relationships, his trajectory, where he wants to go, what his challenges are. Obviously, you have to pay off the Marvel stuff. And be in the lore of the mythology of the character and the MCU in general. But trying to really build out this character and make him a three-dimensional dude… is what the goal [is]. So I'm excited about that."
Secret Invasion will release on Disney+ by the end of Spring 2023. The release date for Armor Wars is yet to be announced.

Physicists plan to teleport the memory of a living microorganism using electromechanical oscillators and superconducting circuits
In "Star Trek," a transporter can teleport a person from one location to a remote location without actually making the journey along the way. Such a transporter has fascinated many people. Quantum teleportation shares several features of the transporter and is one of the most important protocols in quantum information.

Ref: Quantum superposition, entanglement, and state teleportation of a microorganism on an electromechanical oscillator. Science Bulletin (11 January 2016)
Schrödinger's thought experiment to prepare a cat in a superposition of both alive and dead states reveals profound consequences of quantum mechanics and has attracted enormous interests. Here we propose a straightforward method to create quantum superposition states of a living microorganism by putting a small cryopreserved bacterium on top of an electromechanical oscillator. Our proposal is based on recent developments that the center-of-mass oscillation of a 15-μm-diameter aluminum membrane has been cooled to its quantum ground state (Teufel et al. in Nature 475:359, 2011), and entangled with a microwave field (Palomaki et al. in Science 342:710, 2013). A microorganism with a mass much smaller than the mass of the electromechanical membrane will not significantly affect the quality factor of the membrane and can be cooled to the quantum ground state together with the membrane. Quantum superposition and teleportation of its center-of-mass motion state can be realized with the help of superconducting microwave circuits. More importantly, the internal states of a microorganism, such as the electron spin of a glycine radical, can be entangled with its center-of-mass motion and teleported to a remote microorganism. Our proposal can be realized with state-of-the-art technologies. The proposed setup is a quantum-limited magnetic resonance force microscope. Since internal states of an organism contain information, our proposal also provides a scheme for teleporting information or memories between two remote organisms.

MediaNews Group, based in Denver, Colorado, was one of the largest newspaper companies in the United States. It operated 56 daily newspapers in 12 states, with combined daily and Sunday circulation of approximately 2.4 million and 2.7 million, respectively. The company owned KTVA, a CBS affiliate in Anchorage, Alaska, from March 2000 to October 2012, and radio stations in Texas. The company was founded by William Dean Singleton who served as CEO, and Richard Scudder who served as chairman.
In 2013, MediaNews Group and 21st Century Media merged into Digital First Media.
MediaNews Group was founded by Richard Scudder and William Dean Singleton in 1983. Singleton was a pioneer in "clustering"—developing groups of newspapers that centralized a variety of functions, including production, ad sales, business operations and, in some cases, editorial. An example of this was the Alameda Newspaper Group in suburban San Francisco, where in the mid-1990s, a central newsroom in Pleasanton, California, did all the copy editing, layout and page makeup for five daily papers. Upon acquiring the diverse group of papers, Singleton consolidated several news sections (such as sports and features) to one local office away from the metropolitan area, having a few reporters do the job of what had been many individuals. This subsequently gutted each newsroom, leaving far less local news than before.

I've no place to return to.
the path you travel is steep.
will we meet again someday?
the planted seeds you left behind.
I wouldn't feel quite this sad.
Will we at least meet again?
I don't know of a place I can say it now.
There is no kind of flower that beats you.

Ecology: Biodiversity negates the possibility of organisms evolving independently of one another – one at a time.
Is There An Eco- Society Of Planet Earth?
Not long ago biologists, zoologists, and naturalists would think of communities as a collection of individual plants and animals. This restricted thinking has never worked well environmental and conservation programs. Successful fieldwork now concentrates on protecting the mutually shared interrelationships of plants and animals as well as their physical environment.
Because of this elevated awareness, scientists who are involved in conservation programs endeavor to utilize the concept of biodiversity. Many endangered species have been rescued due to the application of knowledge gained through biodiversity research.
Basically, we have learned that both plants and animals of this planet require a collective sharing of services among the variety of populations and species of a thriving ecosystem. All organisms literally serve each other. They depend upon relationships which are absolutely essential for the survival of each other within the ecosystem.
The requirement of biodiversity runs deeper than traditional logic had imagined. Even the fundamental necessity for food is now understood to link all life into a direct mutual dependency. Food in all its varieties is universally acknowledged as a requirement for sustaining life but ultimately all ecosystems rely on the preexisting photosynthesis of plants to convert the Sun's energy into carbohydrates. These molecules provide the energy source of all organisms that are not capable of this amazing conversion. But then again, even the plants are completely dependent upon the nitrogen fixing micro organisms within the soil. In addition, plants need animals for pollination and distribution of seed. This emerging body of facts also defies any satisfactory evolutionary explanation because biodiversity negates the possibility of organisms evolving independently of one another – one at a time.
The Information Age has permitted the exchange of volumes of related research among diverse scientific disciplines. The only logical conclusion is that the cycle of biodiversity is in reality a closed circle of life that must have been fully functional at the very start. The direct implication is clear – planet Earth was designed to sustain life.
On an even larger scale, the marvelous global ecosystem of planet Earth is totally dependent upon its unique location within the solar system. Studies have been published which indicate the amazing number of physical and chemical properties of our planet that appear to be absolutely critical for the existence of life. Can all of this be accounted for by chance and fortuitous circumstances? The expectations of an evolutionary process would predict a haphazard development of independent life forms. Thus the evolutionary model of origins stands in direct contrast to the expanding body of evidence that apparently points more persuasively toward a unified designed creation.
Analogous to a living cell in which all he parts must be up and running simultaneously, so also on the grand ecological scale, our growing understanding draws many scientists to conclude that the complexity of biodiversity appears certain to be a requirement for sustaining all life. The symbiotic interactions that permit a community of plants and animals to survive must, of necessity, come into existence simultaneously…perhaps in the beginning?
Dr. Henry Zuill, professor of biology at Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska sums up the origin of biodiversity as follows:

The machine can be equipped with an automatic tool loading unit, allowing 24/7 un-manned operation.
The loader can be configured in different versions with 2, 3 or 4 pallets. Customized pallets can be provided upon request.
Standard pallets can accommodate up to 814 workpieces ranging from 1 to 16 mm, depending on the diameter.
The loader is equipped with two precise CNC axes and with pneumatic swivel and clamping units.
During a single loading sequence, a new blank is taken from the 1st pallet by gripper #1. It positions itself at grinding entry door and waits. Upon completion of the current grinding cycle, the tool loading unit enters the machine. The finished tool is removed from the collet by gripper #2. The new blank in gripper #1 is inserted into the collet and clamped accordingly. The complete gripper unit then exits the machine and places the finished tool into pallet #2.

TPP Coalition expands leadership, activity
TPP Coalition expands leadership, activity WASHINGTON DC Check out this story on wisfarmer.com: https://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/national/2016/02/25/tpp-coalition-expands-leadership-activity/87308702/
Now Media Group Published 10:22 a.m. CT Feb. 25, 2016
The U.S. Coalition for TPP announced an expansion in its leadership as it works to advocate for passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, signed by the United States and its 11 TPP partners on February 3.
The expanded Coalition leadership now includes the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Business Roundtable, the Emergency Committee for American Trade, the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. These five organizations issued the following joint statement:
'Our five organizations have joined together as co-leaders of the U.S. Coalition for TPP for the next phase of its efforts — pushing for the expeditious passage of the TPP. We are intensifying our broad education and advocacy efforts on the Hill and around the country as the Administration and Congressional leaders work to address the next steps that are required to secure passage of the TPP.
'The TPP is a strong agreement that will eliminate barriers to U.S. exports and set in place standards that will improve American competitiveness in a region where the United States has lost market share. Industries and companies, large and small, across America know that standing on the sidelines hurts the U.S. economy and American farmers, manufacturers, services providers and workers. It is critical that America move forward as soon as possible to open markets and level the playing field with our TPP partners.'
