Third Eye Blind headman Stephan Jenkins had the following to say about the upcoming trip:
I love the unbridled enthusiasm of a Summer tour, all that crowd energy and the heat frees us up. That's why Summer is so exciting. We haven't been out for a year so we're most excited to see you all.
Dashboard Confessional lead singer and guitarist Chris Carrabba added:
After a break that has refueled and fired us up, Dashboard Confessional is more ready than ever to connect with our treasured fan base. We've missed you, friends, and can't wait to spend our summer with you!

Unbeaten in 14, 11 of those wins, it's even money with league betting partner SkyBet that the Hatters can make it 12 victories from their last 15 in League 2 at Kenilworth Road when they entertain Morecambe on Saturday.
The Town have kept pace with the promotion places despite a number of injuries and on Tuesday welcomed back skipper Stephen McNulty back to the side after a four-match ban.
Nine of the 11 wins on home soil have also seen the Hatters keep a clean sheet, and it's a tempting 9/4 that the Hatters can see off the Shrimps without conceding.
On the goalscoring front Cameron McGeehan came close to grabbing his first goal in Town colours (in his second spell, that is) on Tuesday night at Bury – the young midfielder saw his injury time header clawed away to deny the Town a point. And the on-loan Norwich man is 11/4 to score any time on Saturday – not bad considering he netted in three of the Town's final four home matches last season in the Conference. Two of those three goals were the first of the match, too, so get on at 8/1.
*Prices correct as of 2.45pm Friday with Sky Bet.
Followers of our column were rewarded last week when Luke Guttridge scored at any time against Accrington last weekend.

Let's respect our leaders – Asawase MP
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has appealed to people in the Zongo communities to give the needed respect and recognition to their elected leaders.
He said disrespect for people in leadership and needless power struggles were the bane of the under-development of the Zongos and that this needed to change.
He was speaking at the installation of the new Bandahene of Kumasi, 62-year-old Mohammed Abu Banda.
Alhaji Mubarak asked the new chief to work hard to bring all the people together towards the goal of bringing socio-economic progress.
He counseled the youth to be disciplined and to avoid any infraction of the law.
The MP for Offinso-South, Mr Mohammed Ben Abdallah, spoke of the need for religious and political tolerance to help protect the peace and security of the nation adding that as preparations towards the December general elections intensified it was important for all key political actors to be more responsible in their conduct and ensure that they focused on issues that were of concern to the people.
That, he said, was necessary to aid voters to make informed electoral judgment and choices.
The Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Abdul Moumin Haroon, advised the people to give the new chief the needed support and to accord him the dignity he deserved to enable him to perform.
The Sarikin Zongo of Kumasi, Alhaji Ulmar Farouk, urged the Muslim youth to uphold the peace and to distance themselves from crimes and other socially reprehensible acts.
He said they should not do anything that would create image problems for the Islamic religion.


August 10, 2012 – According to the results of a study released earlier this year, the use of Yaz, Yasmin, and other drospirenone-containing birth control pills can increase the risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In addition to IBS, drospirenone-based contraceptives have been linked to blood clots, heart attacks, gallbladder disease, kidney failure and death. Signs and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome may include severe abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and mucus in the stool.
The study, which was released in February by researchers at the University of British Columbia, found that the use of any combination oral contraceptive (COC) containing the active ingredient drospirenone greatly increases the likelihood of developing irritable bowel syndrome.
The British Columbia study involved a cohort of 939,281 female test subjects around the age of 30 who had been on a regimen of drospirenone for an average of 247 days. The incidence of IBS with drospirenone birth control pills (1083 cases) was an astounding 224% higher than patients treated with levonorgestrel (483 cases), another synthetic hormone found in many older forms of birth control.
Unfortunately, irritable bowel syndrome is hardly the only serious side effect to be linked to drospirenone in recent years. In November 2011, a study published by the Canadian Medical Association found that the side effects of drospirenone contraceptives significantly increase the risk of users developing potentially life-threatening blood clots over other forms of birth control. The study involved a cohort of more than 300,000 Israeli women, and found that drospirenone-containing birth control products increased the risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clot that blocks an artery in the lungs) by as much as 65% over women taking levonorgestrel and other so-called 'second generation' oral contraceptives.
A month earlier, the FDA released a drug safety communication which stated that Yaz and Yasmin increased the blood clot risk by up to 75% compared to older forms of birth control. Previous research published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that women who take drospirenone may face twice the risk of developing blood clots compared to women who take levonorgestrel.
Taken together, the results of these studies appear to support complaints raised in hundreds of Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits filed around the country on behalf of women who allegedly experienced serious and sometimes fatal blood clots after taking the drugs. The lawsuits claim that Bayer failed to adequately warn the public about the risk of serious side effects, placing their desire for profits above patient safety.

Android Samba Client – SMB v3 added in all silence.
While not pretty, it's Google's way to talk to your SMB v3 network shares on Android.
I've made a few posts about the SMB v1 / v3 issues since last summer and the Android apps seemed to struggle implement SMB v3 (and SMB v2). Almost all of the apps out there used a CIFS implementation as their SMB client. To keep things short: they acted as a SMB v1 client and not much more.
I was just curious about the current news on this subject and did a google search to find any news about this and to my amazement Google had made SMB v3 possible a few months ago. Totally missed it previous hours looking for this.
Android Samba Client launched somewhere in July 2017. As far as I know it's the only SMB v3 option out there and it's number of installations is between 10.000 and 50.00 after almost half a year…. ?
The 33MB large app acts as an extension to the built-in Android file manager. It's a port of Samba 4.5.1, so you will get all the features and compatibility you get on your pc or nas device.
This image here is actually the entire interface. After filling in the network path (No browse function) the share will be available in your file manager app. You can copy / past and open files from that app after a one-time setup.
I've tested it AOSP and it work okay for me. On MIUI 9 I could not get it to work with their default file manager. So your mileage may vary depending on your ROM.
If you wan't to edit a mount your out of luck, the only way to reset things is to wipe the app data at the moment.

Up and down we go in life, as on a Ferris wheel, all the while discovering new perspectives, colors, wisdom and… Mexican sayings that hit the nail right on the head.
Looks to me like this is meant to advise restraint in two popular fields of activity: eating and picking fights.
The Mexican refranero gets a bit philosophical once in a while, and in this case it reminds us that the material wellbeing we so tenaciously pursue down here is redundant in the thereafter.
This Mexican saying is an unmistakably Mexican way of saying that something or somebody is quite beyond hope.
This is to encourage oneself or someone else to act bravely: Do what has to be done without fear; the worst case scenario –death- is in any case unavoidable.
Si tu mal tiene remedio, ¿de qué te apuras?; y si no, ¿de qué te preocupas?
If there´s a cure for your problem, why anguish? And if there´s none, why worry?
I´ve said already that the Mexicans are a good natured folk! They know how to stay in good spirits in spite of all troubles which may come their way.
Each person lives his life as he likes. This Mexican saying is meant to be said following a sigh and with hands held up high in a gesture of helplessness when somebody fails to listen to our advice. Also, when someone speaks ill of his fellow, it serves to indicate that he should mind his own business.
An arrimado is a person who comes uninvited to live under your roof. It might well be that you gave your consent, but even if so, that generally won´t prevent your arrimados from becoming a nuisance sooner or later. According to this Mexican saying, it takes only three days for that to happen.
Houseguests and fish stink after three days. We see here that the English equivalent substitutes the corpse for stale fish, with similar results.
Which reminds us of one of Gabriel García Márquez' famous quotes: La sabiduría nos llega cuando ya no nos sirve de nada.
¿Te haces muchas ilusiones?; tendrás muchos desengaños.

Keep on reading Mexican sayings. There are sayings featuring animals and also sayings based on food: mole, atole, frijoles and more yummy stuff.. Mmmh!

Last week was Stealth Cosplay Week on tumblr (the first of many I hope!) and Monday it was featured on Wired. Including a picture of me, dressed in the style of Tintin, and with the caption "If there's an expert on stealth cosplay, it's Anika Dane" and excuse me while I go add that to my business cards immediately.
Could someone link to the first article in the series that explains *why* someone needs to dress like a superhero at work?
At first I was just going to reply with a link to an article I imagined I'd written way back when I first started doing and talking about this. But I couldn't find a "first article" that addressed the question simply and succinctly. So I decided to write one.
Thor is one of my favourite heroes to dress in the style of.
I think a lot of people get fashion confused with the fashion industry. Stripped of presentation (shows, spreads, advertisements — marketing) which dictate trends (what the industry wants to sell) fashion is simply style. Your own personal style.
Medical scrubs come in "Disney". Marie approves.
I wished my high school had a uniform just so I could have played with it.
And for the few that regulate even that, well, no one is always on duty (and one might say a soldier or police officer, for example, is already dressed as a hero).
Society and the fashion industry suggest uniforms for everyone. A lawyer wears a suit, a nurse wears scrubs, soldiers wear camouflage, a scientist has a lab coat, a librarian wears a cardigan, the label is more important than the model, students should wear skirts below the knees, everyone should want to wear what Jennifer Lawrence is wearing. Can the lawyer wear jeans and the teacher wear scrubs? Not if they want to be coded correctly. But finding ways to add personal flair (what makes you feel happy, pretty, powerful, comfortable, etc.) to societal requirements can be fun.
A lot of people like to say they don't care. "I wear whatever is clean, whatever is close, whatever is available, whatever." But those clothes didn't just appear in your closet or on your floor. You chose them. Even if you didn't purchase them yourself, someone chose them — for you, based on what you like or wear. And in some cases based on what they think you should like or wear but even then you made the choice to agree. Or to disagree and wear it as a statement. That's what fashion really is.
These slides were part of my presentation at GeekGirlCon 2013.
Dressing like a superhero is my statement. To myself and to the world. When I get dressed in the morning I put on my fashion, my style, my uniform because it empowers me. You wear whatever you wear because it empowers you. Whatever it is and whyever it was chosen, that choice is powerful. That choice is power.
No one needs to dress like a superhero at work. But if anyone chooses to, more power to her.


The Pigou-Dalton (PD) principle recommends a non-leaky, non-rank-switching transfer of goods from someone with more goods to someone with less. This Article defends the PD principle as an aspect of distributive justice --- enabling the comparison of two distributions, neither completely equal, as more or less just. It shows how the PD principle flows from a particular view, adumbrated by Thomas Nagel, about the grounding of distributive justice in individuals' "claims." And it criticizes two competing frameworks for thinking about justice that less clearly support the principle: the veil-of-ignorance framework, and Larry Temkin's proposal that fairer distributions are those concerning which individuals have fewer "complaints."
The Article also clarifies the relation between the PD principle and prioritarianism. Prioritarians will surely endorse the PD principle (with the "good" individual well-being), but they are also committed to a distinct axiom of separability: the moral value of someone¹s well-being change does not depend upon her position relative to others. The PD principle neither implies separability, nor is implied by it. Although prioritarianism is very plausible, the case for the PD principle is yet more compelling than for the combination of that principle with separability. In discussing prioritarianism, we should differentiate between these two, logically independent aspects of the view.

Philippines Evacuates Thousands as Volatile Volcano Primes for Eruption
Jeoffrey Maitem
Cotabato City, Philippines
Lava cascades down the slopes of the Mayon volcano, seen from Legazpi city, Albay province, 340 kilometers (210 miles) southeast of Manila, Jan. 16, 2018.
More than 3,000 families have been evacuated to safety as the Philippines' most active and picturesque volcano showed signs it was priming for an eruption, volcanologists said Tuesday.
Romina Marasigan, the spokeswoman of Manila's disaster risk reduction agency, said more than 12,000 individuals had already been evacuated from the towns of Guinobatan and Malilipot around Mayon Volcano, after the mountain continued to spew ash and lava oozed out of its crater.
"It's very dangerous to stay within the seven-kilometer radius around the volcano," she said.
The 2,462-meter high volcano in the central province of Albay began spewing ash, rocks and mud on the weekend. Lava had also started to spill from the crater, and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) had raised Alert Level 3.
Level 3 of a five-step alert system means that the volcano is exhibiting an increased tendency towards eruption, magma is close to the crater, and an eruption is likely within days or weeks.
In its latest advisory earlier Tuesday, Phivolcs said "lava collapse events" had characterized the volcano's activity the past 24 hours. It said nine tremor episodes had been recorded, of which four were accompanied by "short-duration lava fountaining."
The mountain also spewed ash that rose to two kilometers and fell on the nearly villages, according to Phivolcs, which characterized Mayon's activity as a "relatively high level of unrest."
It warned residents to be vigilant against lava flows, lahars and sediment-laden streams along channels that flow from the crater.
"Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as ash from any sudden eruption can be hazardous to the aircraft," it said, noting that ash fall events could occur on the southwest side of the volcano.
In 2013, Mayon Volcano erupted, killing five hikers, including three Germans who strayed near its summit, ignoring warnings. Mayon's most destructive eruption was in 1841, when a massive eruption buried an entire town and killed 1,200 people.

Sport: months of delays in the case of housing benefit payment awaits
Tasmanian health workers told to pay back government's $2,000 COVID bonus after incorrect payments
Tasmania's Health Department is attempting to recoup a COVID bonus from workers it claims were ineligible for it and were paid by mistake — but a union says staff should keep hold of the money.The government announced $2,000 would be paid to health staff in instalments on a pro-rata basis in recognition of their work during the pandemic, with broader public sector pay negotiations ongoing.
The housing benefit for significantly more beneficiaries can only be paid out with months of delays from the perspective of the municipalities. The main reason is the lack of personnel in the responsible authorities.
© Marijan Murat/dpa The Federal Council approved the housing benefit reform.
"Already today, the processing of a housing benefit application takes three to six months," said Gerd Landsberg, managing director of the German Association of Cities and Municipalities, the "Bild". "That will expand significantly." In addition to the conversion of the software to new parameters, a wave of new applications to the municipalities is also available. "We don't have the people to work them off quickly." The cities would have advertised the jobs, but could not occupy them.
When is DWP Christmas bonus being paid? Everything you need to know explained
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is sending out a £10 Christmas bonus to those in receipt of certain benefits - here is everything you need to know nowThose who do qualify will receive £10 automatically into their bank accounts.
rush for housing allowance
also North Rhine-Westphalia Minister Ina Scharrenbach (CDU) expects massive delays and problems with implementation. «From the beginning, the federal government had the goal of boxing the residential reform with all its might. She will get a blue eye herself, »Scharrenbach told the German Press Agency. There is no personnel for the processing of the applications, and new employees could only be trained from mid -December.
"We assume that housing allowance applications can only be approved by April 2023 and then retrospectively," said the NRW Minister. A rush to the housing benefit positions is already noticeable. Hardly any country has taken precautions for possible discount payments. They also brought double work for the administrations.
The Federal Council had approved the reform on Friday. According to this, next year, in addition to the 600,000 households so far, up to 1.4 million further entitlement to a state subsidy for rent could be given. Housing benefit can apply for households that do not receive social benefits, but still have little money.

Q: How to calculate the probability of getting the sum X using N six-sided dice The Challenge:
For example, what is the probability of getting the sum of 15 when using 3 six-sided dice. This can be for example by getting 5-5-5 or 6-6-3 or 3-6-6 or many more options.
A brute force solution for 2 dice - with complexity of 6^2:
Assuming we had only 2 six-sided dice, we can write a very basic code like that:
public static void main(String[] args) {
   System.out.println(whatAreTheOdds(7));
}

public static double whatAreTheOdds(int wantedSum){
    if (wantedSum < 2 || wantedSum > 12){
        return 0;
    }

    int wantedFound = 0;
    int totalOptions = 36;

    for (int i = 1; i <= 6; i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j <= 6; j++) {
            int sum = i+j;
            if (sum == wantedSum){
                System.out.println("match: " + i  + " " + j );
                wantedFound +=1;
            }
        }
    }

    System.out.println("combinations count:" + wantedFound);
    return (double)wantedFound / totalOptions;
}

And the output for 7 will be:

match: 1 6
match: 2 5
match: 3 4
match: 4 3
match: 5 2
match: 6 1
combination count:6
0.16666666666666666

The question is how to generalize the algorithm to support N dice:
public static double whatAreTheOdds(int wantedSum, int numberOfDices)

Because we can't dynamically create nested for loops, we must come with a different approach.
I thought of something like that:
 public static double whatAreTheOdds(int sum, int numberOfDices){

    int sum;
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfDices; i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j <= 6; j++) {

        }
    }
}

but failed to come up with the right algorithm.
Another challenge here is - is there a way to do it efficiently, and not in a complexity of 6^N?

A: Here is a recursive solution with memoization to count the combinations.
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.lang.Math;

class Dices {
    public static final int DICE_FACES = 6;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(whatAreTheOdds(40, 10));
    }

    public static double whatAreTheOdds(int sum, int dices) {
        if (dices < 1 || sum < dices || sum > DICE_FACES * dices) return 0;

        long[][] mem = new long[dices][sum];
        for (long[] mi : mem) {
            Arrays.fill(mi, 0L);
        }
        long n = whatAreTheOddsRec(sum, dices, mem);
        return n / Math.pow(DICE_FACES, dices);
    }

    private static long whatAreTheOddsRec(int sum, int dices, long[][] mem) {
        if (dices <= 1) {
            return 1;
        }
        long n = 0;
        int dicesRem = dices - 1;
        int minFace = Math.max(sum - DICE_FACES * dicesRem, 1);
        int maxFace = Math.min(sum - dicesRem, DICE_FACES);
        for (int i = minFace; i <= maxFace; i++) {
            int sumRem = sum - i;
            long ni = mem[dicesRem][sumRem];
            if (ni <= 0) {
                ni = whatAreTheOddsRec(sumRem, dicesRem, mem);
                mem[dicesRem][sumRem] = ni;
            }
            n += ni;
        }
        return n;
    }
}

Output:
0.048464367913724195

EDIT: For the record, the complexity of this algorithm is still O(6^n), this answer just aims to give a possible implementation for the general case that is better than the simplest implementation, using memoization and search space prunning (exploring only feasible solutions).

A: As Alex's answer notes, there is a combinatorial formula for this:

In this formula, p is the sum of the numbers rolled (X in your question), n is the number of dice, and s is the number of sides each dice has (6 in your question). Whether the binomial coefficients are evaluated using loops, or precomputed using Pascal's triangle, either way the time complexity is O(n2) if we take s = 6 to be a constant and X - n to be O(n).

Here is an alternative algorithm, which computes all of the probabilities at once. The idea is to use discrete convolution to compute the distribution of the sum of two random variables given their distributions. By using a divide and conquer approach as in the exponentiation by squaring algorithm, we only have to do O(log n) convolutions.
The pseudocode is below; sum_distribution(v, n) returns an array where the value at index X - n is the number of combinations where the sum of n dice rolls is X.
// for exact results using integers, let v = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
// and divide the result through by 6^n afterwards
let v = [1/6.0, 1/6.0, 1/6.0, 1/6.0, 1/6.0, 1/6.0]

sum_distribution(distribution, n)
    if n == 0
        return [1]
    else if n == 1
        return v
    else
        let r = convolve(distribution, distribution)
        // the division here rounds down
        let d = sum_distribution(r, n / 2)
        if n is even
            return d
        else
            return convolve(d, v)

Convolution cannot be done in linear time, so the running time is dominated by the last convolution on two arrays of length 3n, since the other convolutions are on sufficiently shorter arrays.
This means if you use a simple convolution algorithm, it should take O(n2) time to compute all of the probabilities, and if you use a fast Fourier transform then it should take O(n log n) time.

A: You might want to take a look at Wolfram article for a completely different approach, which calculates the desired probability with a single loop.

A: The idea is to have an array storing the current "state" of each dice, starting will every dice at one, and count upwards. For example, with three dice you would generate the combinations:
111
112
...
116
121
122
...
126
...
665
666

Once you have a state, you can easily find if the sum is the one you are looking for.
I leave the details to you, as it seems a useful learning exercise :)

Nani bags lead role in Band Baaja Baaraat remake
Published on Dec 2, 2012 11:34 am IST
Nani has bagged yet another big project and this time it's Yash Raj Film's first project in South. Earlier this year, Yash Raj Films had announced that it's going to remake Band Baaja Baaraat in Telugu and Tamil. Several names including Nani's were doing rounds to play the lead role in the film before Nani was finalized. The Telugu title of this remake hasn't been confirmed yet and more details about rest of the cast and crew will be announced soon. Buzz is that Gokul, who had earlier assisted Vishnuvardhan, is going to direct this remake and a top Bollywood actress is likely to play the lead role opposite Nani. The film will go on floors in early 2013. Meanwhile, Nani is busy wrapping up Krishna Vamsi's upcoming film Paisa and he's awaiting the release of Gautham Menon's next film Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu which will hit the screens on December 14. Apart from these projects, Nani is also acting in Samuthirakani's Jenda Pai Kapiraju.

Justice group pushes for D.C. family leave
Members of Jews United for Justice met on June 9 about their paid family leave campaign, one of the group's priorities this year.
Summer has gotten off to a strong start for Washington's Jews United for Justice and its agenda, which is focused on workers' rights advocacy.
A $15 per hour minimum wage measure, a JUFJ priority, was just signed into law in the District of Columbia, and the organization is continuing its push for two other major pieces of legislation: paid family leave and a part-time workers' benefits.
Regarding a bill that received a green light June 23 from the D.C. Council's Committee on Business, Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, the group is urging D.C. lawmakers to adopt a measure aimed at providing more work hours and benefits to part-time workers in the city who work for large chain retailers with more than 40 establishments. Under the proposal, businesses would have to notify workers two weeks in advance of work schedule changes.
The group is advocating that the city enact a paid family-leave law that would give city employees 12-to-16 weeks of paid time off to recover from an illness or injury, or take care of a newborn baby.
"Unfortunately, many workers are told two days out, a day out that they need to come in to work, which means you can't plan childcare, you can't plan education, you can't plan a second job, you can't plan family caregiving responsibilities. This bill would help make hours and schedules more predictable," JUFJ campaign manager Joanna Blotner said following the committee's 3-2 vote of approval on June 23.
The vote took place the same day JUFJ members visited all 13 council members' offices to urge the lawmakers to support the paid family leave bill. Blotner said this bill along with the other two measures are essential to bring fairness to the workplace.
"The city is just too expensive to get by without an increased minimum wage, to get by without paid family leave," Blotner said. So it's good to see the council is moving forward with these issues."
The fate of the family leave bill remains up in the air. Council members Elissa Silverman (I-At large) and David Grosso (I-At large) introduced a version in October. In February, expressing concerns about costs, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D-At large) came up with a new draft to reduce the amount of paid time to 12 weeks. It would also limit the percentage of income that workers can collect during that time.
All 13 members of the council must meet for a markup session before the final bill can be introduced. That could happen within the next two weeks, but the council's summer recess begins July 15 and continues until September.
During JUFJ's paid family leave campaign meeting on June 9, Blotner emphasized to roughly 50 attendees that it is essential to include other elements in the bill, such as paternity leave, that the council has not discussed.
"We want to make sure we evaluate all parents as caretakers in the most inclusive way possible, especially in thinking about how this affects same-sex couples who are raising children and making sure that their needs are also met," she said.
JUFJ also hopes to include mental health as a criterion for taking paid time off, in order to ensure that all heath situations are covered.
"This is a really big hurdle that we need to get to, and what we're hearing is actually pretty positive in the council," she said. "That people want this to happen, they know it's coming, they think paid and medical leave is the right thing for D.C. and that's it's going to get there. The question is, how big of a program is it going to be?"

Senate leaders today announced an agreement on a deal that would raise spending caps on military and domestic programs over the next two years. In addition, the deal would fund the government through March 23 to allow appropriators time to complete their work. According to news reports, the deal would raise defense and domestic spending by about $300 billion over two years and includes about $90 billion in disaster relief funding for areas hard hit last year by hurricanes and wildfires. Legislative language for the sweeping budget agreement has not been released publicly yet, but the package also includes many health care provisions. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer this afternoon on the Senate floor said the deal includes funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program for an additional four years on top of the six years included in the last continuing resolution and $6 billion for the opioid crisis and mental health. Among other items, the package also is expected to include relief from Medicaid disproportionate share hospital cuts in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 and extend several Medicare payment adjustments that support access in rural communities. Federal funding is set to expire on Feb. 8 without congressional action.

Some Other Things Ive Done
'Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey' available on DVD and video on demand for the first time from August 4, 2020. #filmtwitter
FromPage2Screen / July 25, 2020
Vision Films are proud to present the loving coming of age film, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey. Directed by Terry Sanders (1994 Academy Award winner for Best Documentary, Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision) and starring Once Upon A Time…in Hollywood's breakthrough star Mikey Madison, this unforgettable film captures the innocence and overwhelming emotion that is first love. Set in 1960's California with its exquisite cinematography and wonderful performances by its cast of rising stars, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey will be available on DVD and video on demand for the first time on August 4, 2020.
Starring Mikey Madison (The Addams Family, Better Things), Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, Annabelle Comes Home), Sean H. Scully (The Last Champion, Bloodline), Valarie Rae Miller (La La Land, Dark Angel), Kristin Minter (Home Alone, This Is Us), Kwame Boateng (The Onion Movie, Not Easily Broken) and John-Paul Lavoisier (Days Of Our Lives, All My Children), Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey sees a hopeful young couple take a motorcycle trip up the California coast in the summer of 1966 that they will never forget.
After deciding they would be each other's "first," Liza (Mikey Madison) and Brett (Sean H. Scully), a young couple trying to figure out love and growing up in the summer of '66, take a motorcycle road trip up the California coast. With one last chance to live like there's no tomorrow in a world filled with war, fear, and change, fate will offer them more than they ever expected to find on the warm and winding highway.
"I wanted to explore the rebellious feelings and the incredible excitement of a 15-year-old girl and her 16-year-old boyfriend, growing up in Southern California in the '60s in the time of the A-Bomb, the Vietnam War and the Sexual Revolution, deciding to take off on their own to discover what love is all about", says director/writer, Terry Sanders.
"Drawing on actual moments, memories, fragments, and experiences from my own early life, I wanted to shoot the film like a documentary — as if one could go back in time and actually follow two real kids. I hope young people seeing the film will identify with Liza and Brett and hope it will stir poignant memories in parents and grandparents".
"Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey is a charming and timeless love story that invokes the feeling of being young and in love for the very first time," says Vision Films CEO/Managing Director, Lise Romanoff. "The legendary Terry Sanders has created a Romeo and Juliet meets The Odyssey and Vision is pleased to be presenting Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey on DVD and video on demand."

So, you gave iridologia iriscopio-ing a shot? Didn't work out? 12 things to try next.
Joyful Living Services, in partnership with Iris Imaging, is excited to announce that we now offer an 24.2MP Digital Iridology and Sclerology Camera System that has the capability of extremely high resolution and uncompromising quality at affordable prices.
The camera features a newly designed oversized Nikon CMOS sensor specifically optimized for low noise and high saturation, giving you the best image quality available. It also uses Image-processing engine EXPEED 3 – the same as that used by the Nikon D4 FX-format flagship camera and a 3-inch Clear View LCD with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coating. You'll have uncompromised Digital performance with power and flexibility in the palm of your hands.
The portable fully adjustable custom camera stand is made of heavy duty plate aluminum with a beautiful "Brite Dipped" face mount rather than the plastic found in other systems. This gives you unequaled beauty, strength, stability and longevity. It is easy to set up on any table, at any location for ultimate portability and comfort.
Iridology is the study of the color, pigmentations, and structure of the iris or colored portion of the eye as they relate genetically through reflex response to the strengths and deficiencies of the body systems.
Iridology complements all the health sciences as it furnishes information, not only about what may be ailing the client, but also about the root cause of the disorder.
In addition, many Iridologists observe the border of the pupil as well as the vascular markings in the sclera to help them better understand more about the overall health of the person.
We believe that Iridology is one of the best assessment tools available to discover which areas of the body are genetically strong and which are deficient. Using Iridology we can analyze the overall constitution according to specific iris colors and markings.
Iridology (also known as iridodiagnosis or iridiagnosis) is an alternative medicine technique whose proponents claim that patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris can be examined to determine information about a patient's systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts, which divide the iris into zones that correspond to specific parts of the human body. Iridologists see the eyes as "windows" into the body's state of health.
Iridologists claim they can use the charts to distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. Iridologists claim this information demonstrates a patient's susceptibility towards certain illnesses, reflects past medical problems, or predicts later health problems.
As opposed to evidence-based medicine, iridology is not supported by quality research studies and is widely considered pseudoscience. The features of the iris are one of the most stable features on the human body throughout life.[disputed – discuss] The stability of iris structures is the foundation of the biometric technology which uses iris recognition for identification purposes.
In 1979, Bernard Jensen, a leading American iridologist, and two other iridology proponents failed to establish the basis of their practice when they examined photographs of the eyes of 143 patients in an attempt to determine which ones had kidney impairments. Of the patients, forty-eight had been diagnosed with kidney disease, and the rest had normal kidney function. Based on their analysis of the patients' irises, the three iridologists could not detect which patients had kidney disease and which did not.
The iris is the greenish-yellow area surrounding the transparent pupil (showing as black). The white outer area is the sclera, the central transparent part of which is the cornea.Iridologists generally use equipment such as a flashlight and magnifying glass, cameras or slit-lamp microscopes to examine a patient's irises for tissue changes, as well as features such as specific pigment patterns and irregular stromal architecture. The markings and patterns are compared to an iris chart that correlates zones of the iris with parts of the body. Typical charts divide the iris into approximately 80–90 zones. For example, the zone corresponding to the kidney is in the lower part of the iris, just before 6 o'clock. There are minor variations between charts' associations between body parts and areas of the iris.
According to iridologists, details in the iris reflect changes in the tissues of the corresponding body organs. One prominent practitioner, Bernard Jensen, described it thus: "Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations." This would mean that a bodily condition translates to a noticeable change in the appearance of the iris, but this has been disproven through many studies. (See section on Scientific research.) For example, acute inflammatory, chronic inflammatory and catarrhal signs may indicate involvement, maintenance, or healing of corresponding distant tissues, respectively. Other features that iridologists look for are contraction rings and Klumpenzellen, which may indicate various other health conditions.
Second: Small and large intestine.
Third: Circulation of blood and lymph.
Fourth: Internal organs and endocrine system.
Outer: Skin and organs of elimination.
The iridologia iriscopio allows you to easily create sharp images of eyes and irises. Because of the strong magnification you can see barely visible details. In Naturopathy, the IriScope is often used for iris diagnosis. Iridologists assess the health status of patients on the basis of colors characteristics in the iris of the eye. According to iridologists they can diagnose conditions such as diabetes, rheumatism or gout by using iris diagnosis and treat the patient accordingly.
The contoured hood on the microscope camera ensures that the camera can be close to the eye. Because of the built-in LED lighting – two white and two yellow LEDs you can easily create good images without the need of an external light source. The yellow LEDs are used to provide better images of dark irises. The practitioner can watch the iris image directly on at the screen of a computer or laptop with Windows or MacOS or with a Windows tablet, which proves the versatility and easy mobility of the IriScope.
Naturopathic practitioner Frederike Otger from The Hague, The Netherlands, has been using the IriScope for some time: "It is a handy and simple microscope camera to make sharp images of eyes and irises. With the adjustable magnification I can focus properly on the eye and discover the smallest irregularities. Both my patients and myself find it very pleasant that the images can be viewed directly on the screen. In this way, the patient is more involved in the diagnosis and can also give better feedback.

In October 1988, Angie Roloff and her husband Ron opened Strictly Discs in Madison, Wisconsin, after Ron left a career in the biomedical research field to pursue his love of music full time. Nearly 31 years later, the couple made the difficult decision to shutter in-store operations due to COVID-19, roughly a week before Gov. Tony Evers forced a mandatory shutdown of all non-essential businesses. Now that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has overturned Evers' stay-at-home order — ruling it "unlawful" and "unenforceable" — the Roloffs and their employees have reopened the store.
As part of Billboard's efforts to best cover the coronavirus pandemic and its impacts on the music industry, we will be speaking with Roloff regularly to chronicle her experience throughout the crisis. (Read the previous installment here and see the full series here.)

How's your family?
My mom's married, and her husband has three daughters and one of them fainted and fell very hard and hit her head. It'll take a little while to play out, but they took her off life support Sunday. A good reminder of how fragile life is.
I'm so sorry about that.
Yeah, me too. That was last Wednesday, so it at least has sunk in, but it's still, naturally, tragic and terrible and every negative thing you can think of. I'm sorry for my mom and her husband, naturally, and her sisters. It wasn't someone that I was super close with, but still, certainly someone I care for. She's got kids and a husband all those things. Your heart bleeds for them.
Did she have a history of fainting?
Well, she just hadn't been feeling well. When they took her in, she had real low sodium, and so they thought that might have been the cause. But most of the time when someone faints, they don't hurt themselves like that. You know, it's just one of those crazy unfortunate circumstances. So it's been an eventful week. And of course we had the election in there as well. At least that was a positive. I'm sure it was crazy where you were, but it was certainly crazy on our street. We're kind of in a dense neighborhood, and so people [are] honking and driving around and dancing and yelling and screaming and all that sort of thing. So that was certainly positive.
How Ticketmaster Plans to Check Your Vaccine Status for Concerts: Exclusive
What's changed for you at the store since we last spoke?
Everything in Wisconsin and even in our county is trending really poorly as far as COVID, so that's a top concern. I know our governor is holding a press conference this evening to address COVID, and I think everybody is wondering if there will be increased mandates or measures that might be coming.
Is that something you anticipate?
Well, we still are a very divided political state, so even when he has passed some executive orders, they've been overturned. So I don't know how likely it is, especially given that outside of our county most of the regulations are much looser, unless a county has enacted something that's more extreme than what the state has. We're a little bit of a bubble, but you can easily go outside of our area to go places that aren't as strictly enforced.
[Ed. note: In a Nov. 10 speech, Gov. Tony Evers said he had issued an executive order recommending Wisconsinites stay home, limit the number of customers allowed in businesses and wear masks but did not institute new mandates.]
Neumos in Seattle, in a Pandemic: 'In The Third Quarter of 2021 We Could Do Shows Again'
The final Record Store Day drop happened since we last spoke. How did that go?
It went really smoothly. All three of the dates, when combined, especially with our ability to sell more things online than we typically do, stacked really well against a full 2019 date. If you'd asked me that early on, I don't know if I would have believed that that was possible.
Billboard recently ran a piece reporting that in an average Record Store Day drop week this year, CD and vinyl album sales grew 72% at indie stores, and that vinyl LP sales in an average drop week for indie stores doubled. Also, indie store vinyl album sales now stand at 7.3 million in 2020, up 24.9% from the same point a year ago. Have you felt that kind of an increase at Strictly Discs?
We have. [With] the three drop dates, versus the single date in 2019, we were up to 3.21% for dollars. I know we've talked a lot about the fact that records and CDs are a fairly inexpensive item and something that many people can justify [spending money on]. I also think it's almost part of this concept that we're seeing come out of this pandemic of a comfort economy or a homebody economy, the fact that people are focusing on things that make them happy at home. I think independent record stores nationwide are benefiting from that trend and that feeling amongst consumers.
Live Concerts Have Only 'Small' Impact on Spread of COVID-19, German Study Finds
Would you like to see the three Record Store Day drop dates continue even beyond COVID?
Yes, I think a lot of us in the industry would welcome the smaller dates if there was a bit more time in between them. Because the frequency of having it every month, there's not a lot of downtime between one date and then starting to gear back up to prep for the following date. So a few months in between would be something that I would certainly welcome.
We do have some good news this week on the vaccine front. Are you feeling more hopeful since that news came out?
The news was definitely hopeful, and it certainly felt like things, at least in that regard, are moving in the right direction. I still feel like we have a long ways to go before that impacts what's happening on a day to day basis here. Those [coronavirus] numbers seem to be growing [so] exponentially in the wrong direction that it's a little scary. I just feel like businesses being closed as a result of COVID is getting closer and closer every week.
I've said this before, but you guys have seem to have weathered this pretty well so far. Do you still feel good about how everything's going with the store?
I do, and I think we learned a lot in March and April. And I feel like those are lessons that we can implement at any point if things change and we need to pivot how our business model is working. With experience comes confidence, and that's how we feel right now.
Event Designer Bobby Garza in Austin, in a Pandemic: 'We're Still at This Crossroads'
Is there anything else that you wanted to bring up?
We're talking about how we can stay healthy as a group [of employees] and minimize the risk of one of us getting any of the rest of the group ill. That's something that we're thinking about as the number of people [we] know that come in direct contact with this virus increases. We're cognizant of our orbit and protecting it. So we're doing what we can and we hope that it will be enough.
As a business owner, you really have to have a lot of trust in your employees, right? And it sounds like you do generally trust them.
I do. In fact, as a group, we've actually held off on hiring some people because of that. We have a good comfort level as a group and so you don't want to kind of change that dynamic unnecessarily.
So you would potentially be hiring more people right now if COVID were not ticking up there?
What roles are you looking to hire for?
We kind of have two main functions: We have the upstairs front counter person and they deal with all of the new inventory as well as the used inventory, and then we have the staff downstairs that price and clean and sell used records. I could actually use someone in both of those positions right now. So we're running lean, but everybody's working a little extra, and we're making it work.
Mmmhmm. The alternative is not good.
