Keys to the City
(Autumn Hill)
With his music featured in film and television productions including American Horror Story, Weeds and The Good Wife, pianist and composer Michael Silverman has been heard by millions. Although he may not be a household name, he's also ranked among the most streamed and downloaded instrumentalists in the world on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon. And, for more than a dozen years, he and his brother, Rob Silverman, have been at the helm of the Autumn Hill label, its catalog of classical and new age music scoring number one albums on iTunes and other charts. For his first contemporary-jazz album, Human Spirit (Autumn Hill), Silverman could hardly be in better company. The pianist has teamed up with keyboardist and composer Jeff Lorber on songs for the album, which make use of Silverman's palette of classical and new age colors as well as producer and co-writer Lorber's deep well of fusion and R&B. Silverman also recruited some of the top players in the contemporary-jazz field, who bring depth and groove to the proceedings. "Keys to the City" is a shimmering confection, with the leader's piano evincing sunlight sparkling on the water and a propulsive, flowing rhythm provided by guitarist Michael Thompson, bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta.

We had enough and we took our case straight to the top! All the way to the top, all the way to the Neal Supreme Court. Okay maybe it wasn't quite so drastic, but to my fantastic 4th graders we had some serious legal issues to debate and debate we did! Laura Candler from Corkboard Connections has a fun project titled Green Court Claims. Here is a summary of how we put this fun project to the test.
To begin we discussed what we were all familiar with, recycling, although very few claimed they did it. The most common material that students recycled were soda cans. This led to the discussion of how there are many companies that are "going green", claiming that their products are environmentally safe. This intrigued them, and they set out on a classroom mission to find products with some type of claim. After a few short minutes they were finding all kinds of things claiming to be of recycled materials or environmentally safe. It was amazing how many items they found in a short amount of time.
Fact: Did you know that on a small box of 24 count Crayola Crayons you will find three claims? They even have a trademarked initiative called Crayola Eco-Evolution!
After our classroom scavenger hunt they were sent on their first mission. They were to go home and look for items in their own house that claimed to be "green". They came back with a wide variety of claims including tissues, cleaning products, plastic bags, and even dog food!
Students worked in teams of four. Each team came to a consensus on what product they would research and bring to the court, also known as their fellow classmates. After a bit of deliberation, team members came to an agreement and they were off on their next mission. They were going to try to prove their side.
Coke- not due to packaging but due to the amount of water that is used in making the drink. This actually blew my own mind!
Bottled water- due to plastic of course but also they found out that some brands of water, exported from other countries, actually have their own people getting sick as a result of a limited supply of clean water.
TerraCycle Notebooks- these notebooks are made from recycled candy wrappers. It was the first time I had seen one, but I do have to admit they were fairly cool!
After all facts were gathered, students were ready to present their case. This part was the most fun and they LOVED it! All silliness and 4th grade behaviors were set aside, they were lawyers and jurors ready to take a stand! Students were asking some serious real-life questions. Some of the students were getting down right defensive. Things were getting personal, in a good way. It was fun to see them take it serious and think about real consequences of their actions.
When all was said and done my students voted that all but one product was harmful for the environment in one way or another no matter what the company claimed.
This was a fun project and I can vouch for the fact that it has most definitely raised awareness with not only my students but with me! I now feel extremely guilty drinking a bottle of water or a can of soda, especially with 22 sets of eyes on me!!

Search the Sherborne School Register, Supplement 1900-1921 on Familyrelatives.com
New and exclusive to Familyrelatives.com - The most recent additions to our ever expanding collection are the School registers to over 120,000 pupils and masters dating back to 1500.
The list is comprised of major schools which are among the oldest of independent educational establishments in the United Kingdom, such as Sherborne School which was founded in710 and re-founded in 1550 by Edward VI. The young King, a keen reformer, took an interest in establishing a system of grammar schools through endowments providing free education for the talented poor. The charitable concept of education for scholars of limited means gradually changed over the centuries to that of education for gentlemen entering the military, church and professions.
The registers are fully searchable and provide a useful resource. They are exceptionally well detailed and usually give the surname, father's name, address, birth date, date of death. School and University education, School sports teams, qualifications or profession, Military service and achievements.

On Saturday, April 29th, 2017, we held a Speakeasy themed party at Studio 215 in Downtown Fayetteville to reveal the identity of our new Music Director, Stefan Sanders.
Despite the severe weather moving us indoors, our first annual Jazz&Wine Fest brought in some great music and company! Jazz bands from Methodist University, ECU and Duke performed, and the a cappella group Grains of Times from NC State also performed.

What power plays in UK and Europe tell us about the new political order
Published: 1:41 PM May 12, 2017 Updated: 8:42 AM September 18, 2020

Macron's election raises the stakes in the governing game
Beneath the flight path into Heathrow airport at Kew Gardens in West London stands an ancient tree called Turner's Oak. Planted by a nurseryman of that name in 1798 – just as Napoleon Bonaparte, ten years younger than Emmanuel Macron, edged towards an even more audacious seizure of power in France – it was uprooted during Hurricane Fish in 1987. Now here's the funny thing. When it dropped back on the same spot, albeit at a slight angle, Turner's Oak thrived as it had not done for years. Even movement of a few inches had cured its compacted soil problem.
That's how reformist politics are meant to work. They foster mistrust of the superficial glamour of revolutionary rhetoric, the eagerness of amateur woodcutters to drag Turner's decayed timber off to the sawmill and turn it into the framework for a new house they haven't yet designed. Nowadays reformers sometimes have to remind voters that the fast-talking woodcutter and his tax-shy friends own the sawmill, building site and brickworks. Suspicious, eh!
Reformist politics promise more than they sensibly should do too. Listen to Macron's 'New Dawn' speech – shades of Blair in 1997? – outside the Louvre on Sunday night, offering reassurance to France about everything in a calm, sober, Obama-ish way. Security for the economy, a bright future of the European Union (cue Ode to Joy) and the unburnished honour of France's place ('Its vital interests, its image') in the world, liberty, fraternity ('Don't boo Le Pen voters') and HOPE. In these troubled times it is a more sensible emphasis than egalite. No wonder voters in neglected departments – including his native Amiens, just off the Paris-Calais road – sound sceptical. 'We'll find out soon if he's a liar like the rest of them,' said one.
But Macron's decisive victory over Marine Le Pen was a victory for reformist politics and the Turner's Oak theory all the same. It's only a breathing space, but a valuable one, as the relief in Angela Merkel's voice and on dizzy financial markets showed. It wasn't the only change-and-renewal evidence we could pick from the rubble of last weekend's ballot counting. On the British side of La Manche, Theresa ('cap those energy prices') May's Conservative candidates in the local elections pushed back Labour in urban strongholds they haven't held for years, in some places not since Ted Heath was in his grumpy prime.
Of course Thursday's outcome was all mixed up with May's Brexit general election offensive on June 8 when she hopes to take Labour seats in Wales, the Midlands and northern England. But there was plenty of evidence that diligent voters focus last week was where it should have been, on local issues. Defeat is the price accountable politicians have to pay for bad leadership (national or local), bad leadership on school places or traffic jams, for complacency and/or irrelevance. It's only three years since UKIP relished in its victory at the European elections, edging out Labour with 24 seats and 26.6% of the vote, the first time it had won a national ballot. On Thursday it lost all the seats it was trying to defend and fell back to a barely relevant 5% share of the poll.
Much as Madame Le Pen successfully courted some EU-rejecting communists as well as conservative pro-Fillon Catholics in France's second round ballot, May's Hard Brexit talk must have provided background encouragement to disaffected voters. Some of them will have been ex-Labour, people who had drifted off to Nigel Farage's tent or to the more emollient Lib Dems whose hopes for a strong pro-EU recovery also fell short. More than ever, non-tribal or de-aligned floating voters, freed of old class loyalties, shop around these days. Data crunchers in social media – take a bow, Facebook, Twitter, and publicity-coy Cambridge Analytica – are getting better by the day at targeting Mixed-Up Man and Wavering Woman to tell them what they want to hear. Obama, Trump, Brexit, Macron, Tesco, they're all at it. So is Lynton 'Dog Whistle' Crosby, as June 8 looms. As with energy pricing, voters and regulators struggle to catch up with cutting edge technology. It is important for pluralist politics that they do.
But UKIP's collapse also serves to remind those who believed everything they read on the tin – did MEP Farage believe it? Probably not – that what rapidly expands can also deflate just as quickly. In their heyday nothing angered UKIP activists, many of them decent, well-meaning people, more than to be told they were part of a campaign, not a real party, a one-issue campaign too. Time and again the Kippers backroom team could barely manage to put together a half-coherent manifesto on wider policies that Leader Farage wasn't prepared to disown the moment he discovered populism can sometimes turn into unpopulism. Privatise the NHS? Not me, chums.
Seriousness is what distinguishes UKIP from that other single-issue-led party-cum-campaign. The Greens' wider policies, popular or derided, are evidence-based and strong enough not to collapse under sustained attacks from climate-change sceptics, many of them (it just so happens) also Brexiteers. Alas, the direction of environment policy – rendered so uncertain in Donald Trump's zig-zag White House – is another likely casualty (yet again) of a Brexit-dominated UK election. It is one in which the May government seeks to pander (repeal those bans on grammar schools and fox-hunting!) not to challenge, while the Labour opposition seems more concerned to secure its party base than govern the state.
Merkel, May, now Macron, the Three Ms are all serious about governing, though only the German chancellor, reluctantly seeking a fourth term at almost 63, has yet had much experience of actually doing so. With respect to voters on the left who fear May cannibalises UKIP language in a lurch towards fascism and – on the free market right – shudder that her emerging industrial strategy is leading to corporatism, intervention and over-regulation, they're wrong. May is a hand-to-mouth, provincial conservative, not a Big Picture politician. Reports that her policy brain, Nick Timothy has been talking to Labour's David Miliband and Lord Maurice 'Blue Labour' Glasman may just be a tactical PR stunt, but otherwise point to pragmatism.
Despite evident differences (remember May was a Remainer until June 24) all Three Ms represent mainstream continuity of Turner's Oak variety much more than they do the insurgent, authoritarian nationalists taking power elsewhere. There has even been some evidence, admittedly contradictory, that President Trump may be in the process of sacking Candidate Trump and joining the mainstream right. There again, he has just sacked his FBI Director and offered a classic fake news justification for doing so.
If politics is a mixture of leadership and credible policy, of men and measures – women too, Theresa – that combine to inspire a transient majority then solid judgment and mere competence in running things as well as changing them are part of that mix. So is the need for renewal through change at the ballot box. Stand back from partisan passion and it's a good thing that Nicola Sturgeon's SNP finally faced a fresh challenge after nine years in power at Holyrood and a better record at harrying Westminster over independence than at delivering key services to Scottish voters. Yes, its first preference votes went up to 610,454 from 503,233 in 2012, but its share of the vote remained 32% because the resurgent Tories gained 12% on 2012's results, their 25% share pushing battered Labour into third place on 20% (Lib Dems on 6.8%, Greens on 4.1%).
In more than doubling her tally of seats (276) Scots Tory leader, Ruth Davidson – women and measures - shows she can do business with the voters. By the same token Labour's decades-long grip on Glasgow City Council has finally been broken, eight seats behind the SNP on Thursday night. Among its many municipal achievements, Labour in Glasgow (which voted Yes to independence) has also been a byword for all sorts of failures which the fiery Janey Buchan, Glasgow Labour MEP, would have lovingly itemised if she'd ever got around to writing her threatened memoirs. The book was going to be called 'Some Shits I have Known', she used to warn her enemies. If she had believed in heaven the atheist Buchan would be smiling down now (she was also a left-wing eurosceptic).
The cycle is different in Labour-governed Wales, but the pattern is recognisably similar. At a time when an incumbent government in Westminster ought to be losing ground, local perspectives and a dash of Brexit trumped London to ensure a Tory surge against the incumbent (since 1999) regime in Cardiff instead.
The latest poll for ITV puts Welsh Tories on 41% for June 8 – with the prospect of taking nine seats from Labour, which has recovered lost ground, but only to 35% (Plaid Cymru on 11%; Lib Dems 7%, UKIP on 4%).
Put England into the equation (although not everywhere voted) and BBC analysts projected a 38% to 27% lead for the Tories if Thursday's results were to be repeated on June 8, 18% for the Lib Dems, 5% for UKIP, 12% for other parties, including Nationalists. But the results which should have got more attention than they did in the London-dominated media were surely the election of metro-mayors in England's 2nd and 3rd cities.
Once Andy Burnham, a high profile ex-cabinet minister with local roots, decided his future lay other than with Corbynite Labour in the capital (at least for now?), Manchester always looked set to be his for the taking. The 20-year modernising partnership of Richard Leese (council leader) and Howard Bernstein (CEO) has done most of the hard work, won over wary outer boroughs and overtaken Birmingham – at least in Manchester's own opinion – and also won that Northern Powerhouse devolution package from George Osborne. But Burnham campaigned on local (Jeremy Corbyn, who he?) issues, notably housing, and won 63% of the vote.
Far more significant in terms of the unfolding pattern of devolution in the over-centralised, post-imperial British state, was Andy Street's win to become Greater Birmingham's first metro-mayor. He came from outside (spending money unfairly before election limits kicked in, say critics) to defeat the paper favourite, Labour's Sion Simon, ex-MP and ally of Corbyn's estranged deputy, Tom Watson. Street (53) wore the blue rosette, but that is arguably a lesser detail in his CV. Like Burnham he is local ('a proud Brummie boy'), like Ruth Davidson he is gay, like Emmanuel Macron he is a political first-timer in elective politics, like Donald Trump he is a successful businessman.
But, unlike the US President whose chequered business career is littered with vulgarity, excess and controversy, Street gave up what must be the most wholesome corporate job in Britain, as £800,000-a-year CEO of the John Lewis Partnership. He's the one who supervised a 50% increase in gross sales, plus increases in both stores and online revenue in nine years at the helm, as many big retail stores struggled against the Amazon tide. Contrary to the widely-shared faith in tycoons around the world (no-nonsense generals are another popular stereotype) can-do businessmen often flop in politics: think Archie Norman, newly poached to head M&S, who disappeared from Westminster with little trace. John Lewis lifer Street ('collective responsibility, sharing fairness') may fail too. But he is full of ideas for his home town and a fan of the city's greatest political son, Joseph Chamberlain, reformist mayor from 1873-76, later a Liberal-to-Tory cabinet grandee, a party splitter too. Theresa May's bearded bagman, Nick Timothy, is another Chamberlain reformer from Birmingham.
So watch the West Midlands space. If able public officials can prove resolute, imaginative and adaptable in the challenging times which lie ahead on every scenario for Brexit, the UK may pull through in better shape. High profile big city bosses may even broaden and deepen the increasingly-shallow talent pool at Westminster, though Boris (where is he?) Johnson is still road-testing that theory close to destruction. Does it all presage a change in the party structure, as some keep suggesting is inevitable if opinion polls are right about the scale of Labour's defeat? My hunch remains 'no', but that depends on what happens next.
Using the 'men and matters' matrix some voters are reporting that they see 'Corbyn and Brexit' as a winning combination, albeit a winning one for May. Persistent reports claim that, if heavily defeated but no worse than Ed Miliband's 30.4% vote share in 2015, Corbyn will hang on to the leadership and purge the party machine of those disloyal to his policies (he cannot purge the voters). I still think such talk is bluff, the kind of thing leaders have to say until the moment that they don't, even a leader whose election strategy and conduct is essentially defensive against the predicted May tide. Some of Labour's declared policy ambitions are laudable (who could not want to tackle the rented housing crisis?), others foolish or self-defeating. But the Corbynite maths of tax-and-spend sink them all. The tree-grown theory of money rarely commands enough confidence. The hoped-for idea that the Tories would now be embroiled in a scandal over election expenses has been punctuated by the Crown Prosecution Service's (CPS) verdict on Wednesday. It was always a slender straw.
Apart from the sheer impropriety of May accusing the EU of interfering in Britain's election at a time when foreign-based manipulation of social media is a hot issue in many countries – Clinton as well as Macron has a grievance – the practical weakness of the 'interference' thesis is that Brussels, Paris and Berlin cannot seriously imagine that their time would be better spent negotiating Brexit with a fragile Corbyn-led coalition? May's 'bloody difficult woman' pose must irritate many, but the abrasive leak to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of the Downing St dinner seems to have sobered key players. It has been a better, calmer week in which Jean-Claude Juncker still speaks English. Chancellor Merkel even blamed the leak on 'a babbling idiot', not formally identified as Juncker's bagman, Martin Selmayr.
That leaves the Macron enigma. Though still under its Charlie Hebdo state of emergency, France is not quite the basket case which Anglo-Saxon critics like to proclaim. But the new president needs to shake Turner's Oak by tackling labour market rigidities, the flip-side of persistent high unemployment, getting a better grip on home-grown terrorism – 240 murders in barely two years – and bearing down on tax and spending, as the eurozone economy gently recovers. He must succeed if he is to keep the forces of extremism at bay and to persuade the Germans he can be trusted in trying to reform the eurozone's unbalanced economies as well. At 39 to Merkel's 63 he could be the coming man, as British leaders have again opted not to be, unless Mayor-elect Street has private plans.
As for President Macron's impact on the tone and outcome of Brexit, we will have to be patient. Important though it is, in the age of assertive nationalism it is a second order problem to a committed European integrationist like Macron. Once he even called the Brexit vote 'a crime'. Some advisers warn he will make life harder for May as a point of EU principle and of practice. France no more wants to pick up Britain's vacated budget contributions than Germany or the Dutch.
Others say the high-flying technocrat will be rational and cool, keener to evolve a constructive 'new relationship' with its northern neighbour than to tear up the Le Touquet agreement on asylum seekers who congregate in towns that voted Le Pen. Theresa May's combative political decision to stick by her long-failed promise to slash immigration without damaging the economy is both a threat and an opportunity to Macron. His election raises the stakes, but should also raise Europe's game. May will have to raise hers.

Will Dynamic Creative Have Its Moment This Year?
Kelsey Meuse, product marketing manager, dynamic creative at Sizmek thinks so.
Programmatic creative has invigorated interest in dynamic creative, but its full potential has yet to be realized, since the creative and data-heavy media-buying aspects of both agency and brand advertising teams have traditionally been siloed.
In 2017, we'll see more ad teams acknowledge the need for holistic planning — and in turn, the creation of a unified dynamic creative campaign strategy that transcends mere programmatic buying.
Dynamic creative, which is where data meets creative so that advertisers can deliver personalized and relevant advertising to their target audiences, is already recognized as a necessity for cross-screen display campaigns.
Dynamic creative optimization, which enables advertisers to serve the best-performing ad based on individual elements that resonate best for each independent target audience, will play a major role in programmatic creative strategies. We'll start to see a proliferation of dynamic creative emerge across different channels–from in-stream video, to out-stream, to native executions. With the increased focus on creative within programmatic channels, I expect to see more high-impact executions. Once reserved for direct placements or publisher sponsorships, interactive video ads and rich media will move farther into the programmatic arena, some through private marketplaces, and others through the open exchange.

Voices from the Grave
Two Men's War in Ireland
by Ed Moloney
ON SALE: June 1st 2010
Genre: Nonfiction / True Crime / Murder / Mass Murder
A candid and brutal account of murder, abduction, and violence during the Troubles in Northern Ireland-from two men on opposite sides of the conflict.
After 'the long war' in Ireland came to an end, very few paramilitary leaders on either side spoke openly about their role in that bloody conflict, but in Voices from the Grave, two leading figures from opposing sides reveal their involvement in bombings, shootings and killings on one condition: that their stories were kept secret until after their deaths. In extensive interviews given to researchers from Boston College, Brendan Hughes and David Ervine spoke with astonishing openness about their turbulent, violent lives.
Hughes was a legend in the Republican movement. An 'operator', a gun-runner and mastermind of some of the most savage IRA violence of the Troubles, he was a friend and close ally of Gerry Adams and was by his side during the most brutal years of the conflict.
David Ervine was the most substantial political figure to emerge from the world of Loyalist paramilitaries. A former Ulster Volunteer Force bomber and confidante of its long-time leader Gusty Spence, Ervine helped steer Loyalism's gunmen towards peace, persuading the UVF's leaders to target IRA and Sinn Fein activists and push them down the road to a ceasefire.
Now their stories have been woven into a vivid narrative which provides compelling insight into a secret world and events long hidden from history.
The first and more gripping half of this fascinating, important book by Ed Moloney recreates Hughes's IRA career through his later reflections on it.—Irish Times
This candid analysis of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, as seen through the eyes of two men of violence, is full of revelations ... The memories of both men are vivid, gossipy and informed by an intense moral passion.—Daily Express
[A] moving new book, which traces the conflict from [Hughes' and Erskine's] often diametrically opposed perspectives ... Moloney's book expertly interweaves the two men's recollections with a detailed narrative of the conflict.—Telegraph
How do you document the history of a conflict in which illegal organisations are among the central players? Voices from the Grave, by the veteran Northern Ireland correspondent Ed Moloney, is an intriguing attempt to answer that question.—Open Democracy


steno3d.trisurf(triangles, X, Y, Z) creates a Steno3D Project with a Surface resource of triangulated faces. The surface is defined by triangles, n x 3 matrix of vertex indices, and X, Y, and Z, equal-sized vectors of vertex coordinates.
steno3d.trisurf(triangles, vertices) creates a Steno3D Project with a Surface resource defined by triangles, n x 3 matrix of vertex indices, and vertices, m x 3 matrix of spatial coordinates.
steno3d.trisurf(..., color) creates a Surface resource of the given color, where color is a 1x3 RGB color, hex color string, named color string, or 'random'.
steno3d.trisurf(..., title1, data1, ..., titleN, dataN) adds any number of titled datasets to the Surface resource. title must be a string and data must be an n x 1 or an m x 1 vector, where n is the number of triangles and m is the number of vertices. If m == n, the data location will default to triangles (to override this see steno3d.addData()).
steno3d.trisurf(project, ...) adds the Surface resource to project, an existing Steno3D Project. project may also be a figure or axes handle that was created by a Steno3D plotting function.
project = steno3d.trisurf(...) returns project, the Steno3D Project that contains the new Surface resource.
[project, SURFACE] = steno3d.trisurf(...) returns project, the Steno3D Project, and SURFACE, the new Surface resource.
steno3d.trisurf is useful in conjunction with MATLAB triangulation functions like convhull. Unlike the MATLAB builtin trisurf, steno3d.trisurf does not currently support triangulation objects, nor does it support any additional property/value pairs. After creating a Surface resource with steno3d.trisurf, properties of the Surface object can be directly modified.

UPDATE: Texas fertilizer plant explosion
UPDATE @ 12:00 UTC – 12 bodies have been recovered, at least 35 people are missing [some of the victims may have been vaporized in the inferno,] and more than 200 injured in the blast, officials have said.
A deadly blast rocked the West Fertilizer Plant in the small town of West north of Waco, Texas at about 7.50pm local time on Wednesday [00:50 UTC on Thursday.]
Dozens of people are feared dead and at least 160 were injured, including 24 – 48 critically, after the explosion destroyed scores of home and released toxic fumes into the air. [There's NO official death toll as yet, but West mayor said the explosion had killed at least 14 people, as the search to recover bodies continued.]

The blast was recorded as a 2.1 magnitude quake by USGS/EHP, which said, "the magnitude measures only the ground motion, not the air wave, so is substantially less than the true size of the event."
"Every house within about four blocks is blown apart," the Waco Tribune quoted an eyewitness as saying.

Texas state Gov. Perry said he would declare the area a disaster and request an emergency declaration for federal aid from the White House.
Official have evacuated half of the town's 2,700 population. West is located in north-central part of Texas about 20 miles (32 km) north of Waco.

"The West plant is one of thousands of sites across rural America that store and sell hazardous materials such as chemicals and fertilizer for agricultural use, many within close range of residences and schools," said a report.
It's not known why the planning authorities allowed so many residential units to be built so close to a fertilizer plant.
Officials said there was NO evidence of foul play.

State of Emergency declared in Illinois amid widespread flooding
Illinois Governor Quinn has declared a state of emergency as widespread flooding brought havoc to the Chicago area on Thursday, with another wave of storms forecast for the region.
"Heavy rainfall over the past few days has created dangerous flooding in areas across the state," Quinn said. "Everyone should stay home and off the roads if possible. To ensure safety as these storms continue, people should be alert and avoid flooded areas."
Several towns and counties have separately declared a state of emergency, including Elmhurst, Lisle and Lombard.
"Quinn said a hospital in Morris had to be evacuated as well as two trailer parks currently under water. Residents have lost whole rooms of belongings, and in Chicago a sinkhole swallowed three cars, injuring a man," according to a report.

China reports four new H7N9 infections
Health officials in China have reported 7 new cases of H7N9 avian flu infections in Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, said a report.
The latest cases raises the total number of H7N9 infections to at least 87, with 17 fatalities.
The latest 3 (of a total of 30) patients in Zhejiang are said to be in critical condition.
Human-to-human transmission of H7N9 revisited
More than 50 percent of patients infected with H7N9 virus in China had no contact with poultry, said the World Health Organization on Friday.

Many things need to be taken into consideration prior to heading out on the water. You need to know what kind of fish are going after, the type of reel and rod you'll need, and the type of bait you'll be using just to name a few. One thing that is commonly overlooked by many anglers are gloves for fishing. We know these might not be on the top of your list of most important things you need while fishing, but if you find yourself out on the water for extended periods of time in direct sunlight then your hands need just as much protection as the rest of your body. This is why we recommend you invest in a durable and reliable pair of fingerless fishing gloves. One benefit we find to purchasing a good pair of waterproof fishing gloves is the fact that they will generally last for several years, if not a lifetime. Here are our picks for the best fishing gloves for the money in 2019.

Glacier gloves have come out with an ideal pair of gloves for both continuous use and occasional use while on the water.

Glacier Gloves has said that they made these gloves to be able to withstand the cold and unpredictable weather found in Alaska, which I'm pretty sure we can all agree, is on another level.

They are made out of neoprene and fleece meaning you will have comfortability and protect from the elements whether that be wind, snow or both.

If you're looking for a pair of gloves that will keep you hands warm, dry and protected while doing some winter time fishing, then Glacier Gloves have made this pair of glove specifically for you.


Perhaps you have heard that we are created in the image of God but that His image in us has become obscured or darkened by sin. What you may not realize is that Christ IS the image of God in us and, at the same time, He is the image of God in which we – and, indeed, all things – are said to have been created. To recognize this image within ourselves – to know it again – is to inherit eternal life which is the birthright of those who are said to have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).
In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6) and proclaims that "before Abraham was, I Am" (John 8:58). Another of his names is "Emmanuel", which means "God with us" (Mathew 1:23), and he is also said to be the Word of God that was (or IS in some sense prior to creation) in the beginning with God; the light that lights everyone who comes into the world (John 1:2, 9). Moreover, the Word is compared to a kind of Divine, incorruptible seed that is sown among us and which – given the proper attention — brings forth much fruit (Mark 4:20, Luke 8:8). It is also compared to the water of life of which it is said that whosoever will may come and drink freely and never thirst again (Revelation 22:17; John 4:14; cf. John 7:37-38).
In the book of Hebrews, as well, the Word of God is associated with Jesus who is said to be the Image of God (1:1-3); and, in Colossians, the image of God is also described in terms of the rich and glorious mystery which is Christ-in-you (1:15, 27). Moreover— as indicated above —the faithful are said to have been chosen in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) and we are told that all things are created in Him, through Him, and for Him (Colossians 1:15-16). At the same time, it is proclaimed that if we abide in Him as He abides in us (John 15:4) he will be formed in us (Galatians 4:19) in such a way that we, too, will be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16; cf. John 8:12); that we will bear much fruit (John 15:5); and that we will be found in Him (Philippians 3:9) holy and without blame . . . in love (Ephesians 1:5).
This is all very beautiful, to say the least — and it is good news, too – if, indeed, it happens to be true. But how can we really know it? Where is Jesus really to be found? And what does it mean to trust in Him — especially for sincere skeptics and honest critics for whom scripture holds no a priori authority? Have not many sought him with tears in their eyes and seemed to come up empty handed!? And are there not many others who are counted among the faithful – many of those who say, Lord, Lord, perhaps – but who have never really experienced the joy of their salvation!? How is it possible that the Way, the Truth, and the Life can fail to satisfy? How can the water of life fail to quench our thirst? Is it not written, seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you? (Matthew 7:7). If this is true and yet we are not satisfied – if we remain thirsty – it must be that we have looked for Him in the wrong place or put our trust in the wrong thing!
On the other hand, if we do, indeed, know Him, why are we unable to introduce Him to others more effectively? Why do we find ourselves (so often) at a loss in the face of sincere skepticism and honest criticism!? And why does our rhetoric so often fail to encourage those who find themselves in perpetual survival mode–struggling through life in vain (or so it seems), merely surviving from one crisis to the next!?
The first group has rejected such beliefs for reasons which – as far as they go – may be logically coherent, empirically astute, and morally defensible. In the process of rejecting such beliefs, however, these people have inadvertently thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
The second group has accepted the beliefs – embraced the bathwater, so to speak – for whatever reasons, but have totally overlooked the baby which is concealed therein!
Perhaps you belong to one of these groups. Or perhaps you have inadvertently enabled one or even both of them by participating in common modes of religious discourse that promote a less than authentic understanding of faith – a plan of salvation, as it were, which rests on mere concepts instead of the living Christ. Either way, it is time to get real – it is time to focus on the living Reality! And in the chapters that follow, we will do just that. You will be introduced (or reintroduced) to the Way, the Truth, and the Life – to the baby Jesus in the bathwater, so to speak – to the Reality that IS Christ-in-you, the hope of glory! In the process, you will have opportunity to discover – or rediscover – the joy of your salvation! It is also possible that pastors and intelligent lay people who read this will discover new ways of communicating their faith to people outside (or on the margins) of their particular faith tradition.
I'm so glad to see the emphasis here put on our true and original pristine nature – I AM; Christ IN us! – rather than on sin. So much Christian doctrine focuses on pollution rather than on purity. An analog: water is H20. Water plus anything else is no longer water. (A solution which is pure is said to be 'full strength.') But mingled water can still be recovered, even from swill, with some persistence and understanding of nature.
Noticing the introductory quote in the second italic paragraph, where Jesus is termed 'firstborn of all creation' (cf. 'firstborn among many brethren' in Romans 8:29, kjv) helps in this recovery, as it hints that Jesus is our model elder brother. Yet we are often quick to assert 'I couldn't be like Jesus' – however, the Father begs to differ, knowing our nature, and having faith in His design. Yes, He has faith in us! His faith, His love, never fails. Just as a mirror neither struggles nor exerts to fulfill it's design, we need never struggle to be a son or daughter of the I AM, God. Indeed, we can never renounce our true nature.
But first we must decide to participate by prioritizing desire, asking "Do I really want to be a child of God?" Or, we could continue to assert the alternative, "I would rather just 'do my own thing.' " (How's that been going thus far?) While it would seem that we have an infinite number of choices in life, there really are only two: serve self, or serve God. We could call this twoness dualism. But there really is only one nature, one reality. Desire run amok, like a nightmare, can be very vexing; but desire, properly harnessed, awakens us to the real. Such desire is a silent prayer of listening to the mind of Christ.
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:43-48).
There is an "original sin" of sorts, but thankfully, that does not reflect on our true origin and nature!
How the problems of life can diminish and go.
Changing scenes for our permanent state.
It's there from our birth, and it's what a man is.
"But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings" (Malachi 4:2).

Court's opinion of arson in Har Hevron region: It is very difficult to link the defendants to the ar
Wednesday, May 29, 16:41 On Wednesday, May 29, Jerusalem Magistrate Court Judge Chen Avital ordered the release of four out of the five youths detained on Tuesday, May 28 in the Har Hevron region on suspicion of setting on fire a field belonging to an Arab from the village of Zif near the community of Havat Ma'on. The remand of the fifth detainee has been extended until Sunday, June 2. At the request of the police, carrying out the order has been delayed until the following day. The police will appeal the decision. On May 28, IDF forces destroyed a house belonging to a young couple with a baby in the community of Havat Ma'on in the Har Hevron region. According to the police, subsequent to the destruction a field belonging to an Arab in the nearby village of Zif was set on fire as a "price tag" incident. As with every demolition in accordance with the regulations of the army and the police, an unusually large number of forces were stationed in the area surrounding the demolition in order to prevent "price tag" incidents. Approximately two hours after the above mentioned arson, policemen from the Har Hevron Police stopped a car in which five youths, two of them minors, were traveling a short while after they left Havat Ma'on. The five youths were detained on suspicion of involvement with the arson after according to the owner of the field close to the time of the arson a similar car was seen in the area of the village. Because the the investigation is being handled by the new police department in charge of investigating "price tag" incidents, the National Crime Unit, the five detainees were taken to the Central Police Unit of Jerusalem and not the local police station. On May 29, the five detainees were brought to the Jerusalem Magistrate Court where the police demanded a remand extension of five days. During questioning of the police representative by Honenu attorney Adi Kedar, who is representing the five detainees, it became clear that the accusation against them is based on the fact that one of the youths had a lighter even though he doesn't smoke. Jerusalem Magistrate Court Judge Chen Avital rejected the police demand and ruled that four out of the five youths would be released to house arrest until Tuesday, June 4. According to the judge, there is a difficulty in basing a reasonable suspicion concerning those four detainees. Also concerning the fifth detainee who was driving the car, which belongs to his parents, the evidence is circumstantial only – his car was seen in the vicinity of the village of Zif close to the time of the arson – and not specific. The judge ordered that his remand be extended until Sunday, June 2 in order to allow the police to complete the investigation on him. Subsequent to the announcement by the police that they intend to file an appeal the court accepted their request to delay carrying out the decision until the morning of Thursday, May 30. Honenu states in response to the decision that, due to the inappropriate political pressure from the Justice Minister and other authorities, the conduct of the police is increasingly biased concerning residents of Yehuda and Shomron. It would be better if the police concentrated on the daily murder attempts by Arabs on the roads in those areas.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 could arrive next month — watch out, iPad Pro
By Phillip Tracy published 6 July 20
Rumors suggest a Galaxy Tab S7+ will launch with 5G connectivity
(Image credit: Laptop Mag)
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 is the best Android tablet on the market by a country mile, but you might want to hold off on purchasing one. Why not buy this excellent slate? Because Samsung is poised to unveil the Galaxy Tab S7 in the coming weeks, according to multiple rumors.
One of those rumors comes from the Romanian website Androidu.ro, which claims (with some help from Google Translate) that a 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S7 is already in the works.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Review
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite review
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ with 5G support is all but official
Spotted as SM-T976B, this alleged Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G was supposedly confirmed by Samsung Germany in a support page, which was promptly removed. As is now standard with flagship smartphones, the Galaxy Tab S7 will supposedly have multiple models in different sizes, with the Tab S7+ being the largest version.
We don't know exactly when the Galaxy Tab S7 will be revealed but a genuine product page suggests it will be soon. If we had to venture a guess, August 5 seems like a pretty safe bet given the various rumors claiming there will be a big Samsung Galaxy Note event on that day. It's very possible that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Tab S7 alongside its oversized smartphone.
The Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ will supposedly arrive with 11-inch and 12.4-inch displays, respectively. That would make them direct competitors to the two iPad Pro models (11 inches and 12.9 inches).
You can expect the Galaxy Tab S7 to run DeX mode, Samsung's desktop operating system for mobile devices, and there should be a charging slot on the rear for the included S Pen. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Tab S7 will be throttled at a disappointing 15W charging speed, according to SamMobile, so let's hope for long battery life.
Looking for something cheaper? The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a great tablet for the price, although it has some limitations compared with the flagship Galaxy Tab S6.

Anita Pointer Founding Member Of The Pointer Sisters Dies @ 74
Anita Pointer of legendary R&B group The Pointer Sisters has died at age 74 surrounded by family, confirms rep Roger Neal. " Anita Pointer, founded the Pointer Sisters with her real sisters June, Bonnie, and Ruth, has died at age 74.
Her publicist says she was surrounded by family, but does not give a cause of death.
Here's the family statement: "While we are deeply saddened by the loss of Anita, we are comforted in knowing she is now with her daughter, Jada and her sisters June & Bonnie and at peace. She was the one that kept all of us close and together for so long. Her love of our family will live on in each of us. Please respect our privacy during this period of grief and loss. Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there."
Pointer passed away Saturday at her home in Los Angeles where she was surrounded by her family, Neal said in a statement to CNN. The cause of death was cancer, he said.
"While we are deeply saddened by the loss of Anita, we are comforted in knowing she is now with her daughter, Jada and her sisters June & Bonnie and at peace," Pointer's family said in a statement. "Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there."
"She was the one that kept all of us close and together for so long. Her love of our family will live on in each of us," the statement said, while also asking that the family's privacy be respected "during this period of grief and loss."
The four Pointer Sisters began singing together more than 50 years ago in their hometown church in Oakland, California, where their father ministered. Bonnie Pointer and her youngest sister, June, made their professional singing debut as a duo in 1969. They later recruited older sisters Anita and Ruth to join them, before releasing their first album together in 1973.
The group won their first Grammy Award for their crossover hit, "Fairytale," in 1974. They are also known for hits like "Slow Hand," "Neutron Dance," and "Jump."
The group won three total Grammy Awards and had 13 US Top 20 hits between 1973 and 1985.
The Pointer Sisters hit it big in the early 70s with hits like "Yes We Can Can" and "Betcha Got A Chick on the Side." They were R&B favorites.
But then they hooked up with star producer Richard Perry and their lives changed. Beginning with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire," the Pointers had hit after hit with "Jump," "I'm So Excited," "Slow Hand," "Automatic," "Dare Me," "He's So Shy," "Neutron Dance," and so on. They were atop the music industry for a full decade after that.
Pointer Sisters are one of my favorite groups of the eighties , they were the perfect combination of R&B, disco, funk, ,pop and disco nit the mention their fashion style loved their image.

CDC Gains Non-Profit Status
Community well-being is tops for Stoneham CDC
Stoneham has a new non-profit corporation devoted to community well-being. Formed this spring, the new Stoneham Community Development Corporation (CDC) will undertake community development projects, special events, and support long-term planning.
The new non-profit grew out the Stoneham Town Center Action Plan developed for the Town of Stoneham by the MAPC (Metropolitan Area Planning Council) in 2014. With tight resources at the town level, volunteers formed working groups to implement over 40 recommendations to help Stoneham Square work better for residents, businesses and visitors. These ranged from establishing a How to Do Business in Stoneham guide, better parking signage in the Square, and improving bus service to Stoneham, all projects that have been accomplished in the last 2 years. "We've achieved much of the plan, but there is still much more to do," said the first President of the CDC Board of Directors, Rachel Meredith-Warren.
The Stoneham CDC incorporates under its umbrella those volunteer committees: the Stoneham Square Neighborhood Group that was the nucleus of the new CDC, as well as the Stoneham Transportation Advisory Committee and the Stoneham Square Advisory Committee. The CDC will maintain a close relationship with the Stoneham Square Merchants Group, part of the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce.
Changes happening in Stoneham
"This is an exciting time for Stoneham!" notes Chris Senna of C&S Capital Properties, president of the Chamber of Commerce. "There are so many positive things happening in town that directly result from the collaborative work of resident groups, volunteers and the business community. Our businesses are benefitting from these efforts – such as the new A-Frame signage for our downtown merchants, and beautification projects to bring more business traffic to Stoneham."
Stoneham Town Planner Erin Wortman said she looks forward to continuing to collaborate with the CDC's groups. "This type of civic engagement is critical to the success of a public planning process, and I know that the CDC will be a great partner as Stoneham continues to move forward." Stoneham Selectman Shelly MacNeill agreed. "The newly-formed Stoneham CDC will be instrumental in driving the critical projects identified by Stoneham residents and businesses forward by creating opportunities for meaningful public-private partnerships." said MacNeill.
"This kind of civic engagement is is critical to the success of a public planning process,"
The CDC will also work to promote Stoneham and its amenities to a wider audience. "Stoneham is the perfect small town. It's not too big, walkable, and manages to be close knit but welcoming to new neighbors. It's also come a long way in the past few years in beginning to actively planning for its future, managing its resources efficiently, and getting away from the reactivity that challenges other communities." says Meredith-Warren.
The CDC is now working on pursuing a number of projects including a loop trail around Spot Pond, bike parking at the library and other key areas, events for residents and visitors, and more transportation improvements.
Why a non-profit
Until now the type of projects the group could undertake was hampered by its informal status. "We needed to establish more financial structure and non-profit status in order to undertake larger projects, such as a film or arts festival," says Michael Bratina, CDC Treasurer.
The CDC has just received tax-exempt status from the IRS, which will allow any donations to be tax-deductible.

Correlations induced by quantum statistics are sensitive to the spatiotemporal extent as well as dynamics of particle-emitting sources in heavy-ion collisions. In addition, such correlations can be used to search for the presence of a coherent component of pion production. Two- and three-pion correlations of same andmixed charge are measured at low relative momentum to estimate the coherent fraction of charged pions in Pb-Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with ALICE. The genuine three-pion quantum statistics correlation is found to be suppressed relative to the two-pion correlation based on the assumption of fully chaotic pion emission. The suppression is observed to decrease with triplet momentum. The observed suppression at low triplet momentum may correspond to a coherent fraction in charged-pion emission of 23% ± 8%.

There are over 200,000 cases in the United States of colorectal cancer annually. This disease primarily occurs in people over 60 years of age, which is why colonoscopies (and follow-up biopsies where appropriate) are recommended for cancer screening. Most cases of colon cancer begin as small benign adenomatous polyps in the final part of the digestive tract that mutate and develop into cancer. The HCT15 cell line was isolated from a patient diagnosed with Dukes' type C colon adenocarcinoma. HCT15 cells have since been used as a colon cancer model in many studies. In 1982, Dexter et al. released a Cancer Research study using the HCT15 xenograft model to characterize the effects of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methyl-formamide (NMF) on colon cancer. Results demonstrated that the compounds caused tumor growth inhibition mediated by the metabolism of DMF to NMF, but this was accompanied by significant hepatic toxicity. Ehrig et al. published an article in the Journal of Translational Medicine (2013) demonstrating tumor growth inhibition upon a single i.v. injection of GLV-1h68, an oncolytic replication- competent vaccinia virus (VACV). The group used HCT15 murine xenografts and also demonstrated an inflammation-mediated immune response as evidenced by an increased in immune-related antigens as well as increased NK cell and macrophage infiltration. These results have positive implications for the potential of virotherapy. Lastly, a 2017 Monoclonal Antibodies in Immunodiagnosis and Immunotherapy (Kaneko et al.) article used the HCT15 colon adenocarcinoma xenograft model to study the effect of a podocalyxin (PODXL) antibody on tumors. PODXL is typically overexpressed and the group produced a chimeric human-mouse antibody PcMab-47 targeting PODXL and treated xenografted mice; the antibody exhibited antitumor activity supporting its potential use for antibody therapy in PODXL over-expressing tumors. The HCT15 cell line is used to create the CDX (Cell Line Derived Xenograft) HCT15 xenograft mouse model. The HCT15 xenograft model has been used to evaluate anticancer therapies for colon cancer including virotherapy, antibody therapy, and the Phellodendron amurense extract nexrutine (NX).
HCT15 cells are maintained in exponential growth phase under aseptic conditions.
Cells are trypsinized and cell count viability is determined using a trypan blue exclusion assay (98% of cell viability is required). HCT15 cell suspension is adjusted to appropriate density.
Each mouse is subcutaneously injected into the right flank with 106 cells in 100 µL of a Matrigel- HCT15 cell suspension.

Scottish consultancy raises £400,000 for UK expansion
22 June 2020 Consultancy.uk 3 min. read
With cloud services consulting experiencing heightened demand – particularly as the Covid-19 lock-down sees numerous organisations relying on the cloud for remote collaborative work – CirrusHQ has secured funding for its UK expansion. The consultancy based in Scotland has also appointed a new Chair, Director and Managing Director to help drive its growth strategy forward.
Founded in 2011, CirrusHQ is a consulting firm specialising in supporting clients with the use of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Based in central Scotland, the managed cloud services provider offers services including server configuration management; application deployment; auto scaling; system design; and application development, among others.
According to the latest estimates from research firm Statista, the UK cloud computing market is already worth $9.06 billion (£7.30 billion), and could grow to as much as $10.27 billion (£8.28 billion) by 2021. As demand for cloud consulting ramps up across the UK, CirrusHQ has been working to raise funds for a cross-country expansion. To that end, at the start of June, the consulting firm announced it has secured €446,000 (£403,160) of growth capital funding.
CirrusHQ will use the fresh capital to further expand its presence in the UK, most notably in the public sector and in enterprise deployments. The firm will focus particularly keenly on the education sector, where it is the first and only UK Consulting Partner to hold the 'AWS Education Competency' and the 'Well Architected Framework' certification. This will likely see the firm come in for heightened demand in the coming months, as with schools and universities temporarily closed amid the coronavirus lock-down, many are relying on cloud technology and tools to help students continue to learn online.
James Lucas, CEO and founder of CirrusHQ commented, "Our expertise and deep insights into the AWS cloud has enabled our clients to innovate and exploit the potential of the public cloud. The UK EdTech sector in particular is thriving as organisations put in place strategies to scale without compromising cybersecurity. We are delighted that Alastair and Ronnie are joining the Board to help CirrusHQ in the next phase of our ambitious growth plans."
The investment round was led by Alastair Mills and Ronnie Smith – both of whom take on roles as Directors on CirrusHQ's board. The pair have worked together previously, having co-founded managed services provider Six Degrees Group in 2011, which was acquired by Charlesbank Capital Partners in 2015. Smith brings more than 25 years of financial expertise to the firm's leadership, while Mills also takes on the position of Chairman. CirrusHQ also appointed Daemonn Brody, who has previously held senior roles in the cloud and managed services industry, as its Managing Director.
Remarking on the investment, Mills stated, "We are witnessing an unprecedented demand for cloud computing and AWS is the undisputed global leader in the market. With its deep understanding of the vertical markets it serves, together with an unrivalled technical expertise, CirrusHQ is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the business opportunity afforded by the cloud. I'm very excited to be joining the team on this journey."
