This Is Us Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: "The 20's"

Last week on This Is Us, we got one of the biggest reveals this season when we learned about Jack's brother. While we don't know too much about him yet, we did see a small flashback of them while their dad was at the bar, where Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) was being protective of his younger sibling. We also saw adult Jack looking back emotionally at a photo of them both in Vietnam. Outside of this, we saw some tough times for Kevin (Justin Hartley) as he struggled with pain killers, calling multiple doctors to try and get another refill beyond his designated prescription. We also saw Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) being adorable with the exciting news of her pregnancy, as well as Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Déjà (Lyric Ross) begin to bond.
Spoilers ahead!
This was a big episode for Randall — He became a father! We've never seen 20-something Randall before, and we join him as he's prepping the baby's room. Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) is literally due tomorrow. Side note: Their house is also decked out in Obama/Biden stuff. Good times. They're both very nervous, as new parents are bound to be, but they both seem especially worried that two months ago, Randall had his first mental breakdown.
After Rebecca (Mandy Moore) arrives and he overhears his mom and wife talking about him, Randall leaves to go to the hardware store. He's stressing looking over all the ceiling fan options, and he unloads on the kind man, G Singh, working at the store. He gives Randall some solid advice though. He talks about having five kids, and shares that it's taught him that babies "tell you who you are" and that all his worries will subside tomorrow. Randall gets teary eyed in when he's interrupted by a phone call from his mom. The baby is coming like, now.
He rushes home, and then Beth literally gives birth in their living room (the roads are blocked due to Halloween). He instantly falls in love, and in the end we see him tenderly putting his newborn daughter to bed.
In the past, Halloween was also a huge day for 10-year-old Randall. During trick-or-treating, a family tells Randall that he's a blessing since his parents "lost one baby and got him instead." It turns out, this is the first time he has heard this. Rebecca explains how she lost their third baby, Kyle, and how adopting Randall was the way it was always supposed to be for them. She ensures him that it wasn't a secret they were keeping from him, they were just waiting until he was old enough. "I'm 10!" he tells his mom as they split a Twix.
We also saw some signs of Randall's anxiety as a child as well. His neighborhood map to "maximize their house to candy ratio" was smart and adorable, and he was a fantastic little Michael Jackson. But, his reluctance to stray from the plans that he had made worried Rebecca.
Here's the thing — 20-something Kevin isn't the best version of Kevin. He's working as a hairdresser (and apparently he's pretty good at it!), but he's promising every guest that it's only until pilot season starts. He's also really whining about being "too Tom Cruise" that no one will cast him, so much that the client tells him to quiet down.
When his roommate books a movie and invites Kevin to the cast party though, that's where shady Kevin really peaks. He tells the casting director at the party that he's more of the "All-American guy" that the part was looking for, over his roommate. The casting director quickly calls him on it, promising that Kevin will never work for him after trying to steal a part from his friend. Kevin comes home to a note from his roommate on his own headshot, basically telling him to get out.
He heads to Randall's after hearing the baby news from his sister, and they have a heart-to-heart. Kevin admits that he hasn't had an audition in a year, but we see him start making some moves afterwards as he joins an improv group back in LA.
Ten-year-old Kate has two bigger moments, looking back on it. First, she tells her mom she doesn't want to be a vet because "it's not pretty." She ends up going as Sandy from Grease, specially in the yellow sweater lewk. Turns out though, Kate has a crush. Kevin calls it ridiculous because "he's almost as popular as me." A little rude, but it definitely says a lot about the dynamics of the siblings when they're outside of their own family. Kate does hold hands with her crush in the haunted house, though! Even though it's possible that Kevin traded candy for him to do so.
In 2008, 20-something Kate is a waitress (and rocking the Obama/Biden pin. Again, good times). She flirts with her "favorite customer," whom she is definitely crushing on. When her class gets cancelled, she goes to the bar to meet him while he's out with his friends. He quickly asks if they can "go somewhere quieter", and Kate definitely knows it's sus. They hook up, but when he tries to bounce right after, Kate calls him out. Turns out that Kate's hunch was right, and he's married. Right as their conversation ends, she gets a call from her mom announcing the birth of baby Tess.
At Randall's house, Kate and Kevin have a heart-to-heart. Kevin asks if she's still going back to visit where the house used to be. He also mentions that that's not what their dad would want. To me, this basically confirms the theory that Jack dies in a house fire.
In the end, we see Kate moving to LA and starting what looks closer to her current life.
Rebecca has a lot of moments with Randall throughout this episode. She's at Randall's with him and Beth when their first child is born. She tells Randall more about the circumstances of his adoption for the first time. We learn a lot about life is like for her after Jack's death.
In the flashback, she mentions to Jack how much she wished that he had been there for the pivotal moment in Randall and their lives when she had to have the conversation with him about Kyle, the baby they had lost. We see this come back again when Randall finds his mom crying in the kitchen right after her first grandchild was born. She calls it the happiest moment of her life, but also one of the saddest. This is because it gave her a heartbreaking realization that she's going to have to go through all of these incredible moments in her children's life without Jack by her side.
We also see a side-by-side moment of Rebecca introducing herself to baby Randall and a baby Tess. She speaks a lot about how much of a journey life is, and we also see the first time she really brings Randall into their family and calls herself his mom.
In the final scene, she's on Facebook (which Beth set up for her earlier so she could see photos of the baby), and gets a message from Miguel. Can you hear me gasping? It basically breaks the ice between them, asking how she is, saying he lives in Houston now and mentions that they haven't talked in eight years. I definitely think this is where their relationship starts!
There wasn't a ton of Jack in this episode. We saw him being protective over Kate while she has her first crush, and saw him comforting Rebecca after she had her talk with Randall.
Mostly, we saw the effects of his death on his family eight years after. We hadn't seen the Pearsons in this stage yet, and it showed us a lot about each of them and highlighted some major turning points that show how we got from the teenage Pearsons to the present-day Pearsons.

So with this in mind, how about an Irish pub that has set out in pursuit of a real Irish St Patricks Day experience. No run-of-the-mill St Paddy's Day clichés – theyare after a traditional Irish celebration; Guinness, Irish grub, live music and of course Guinness.
What better way to kick off the day (and line the stomach) than with a full Irish Breakfast. Irish-owned and operated Gastropub, The Last Jar offers a full traditional Irish breakfast created by exec chef, Tim Sweeney who trained at a number of Michelin star restaurants across the UK and Ireland. With all the food made in house – from the dark soda bread to the freshly churned butter, a plate of bacon, eggs, sausage and black & white pudding it will give you the energy to raise that glass of Guinness all day.

MilanNews.it are reporting that AC Milan's commercial sector has appreciated the return of the club to the UEFA Champions League as they have been handed a boost when looking for sponsorships and partnerships. Milan under Ivan Gazidis and Casper Stylsvig have been accelerating in this space regardless over the past year and do not look like they will stop.
The report states that in the next few days, Milan will announce a huge partnership with Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Oppo. Oppo remains the no. 1 smartphone brand in China since 2016 and is ranked in the top 5 globally by market share.
This will be a major sponsorship for the Rossoneri as it is expected the company will join one of the top tiers of sponsorship with Milan and could potentially be one of the additional shirt sponsors on the sleeve as previously negotiated with Emirates as part of the renewal.
Oppo currently sponsor FC Barcelona until the end of the 2022 season and also FC Utrecht in the Netherlands. In other sports, they sponsor Lamborghini and Roland Garros.

Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse canceled over coronavirus concerns

Organizers of the Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse made a decision to cancel the event over coronavirus concerns.
Kyle Khaayák'w Worl has been participating in Native games for the past 11 years. And for about the four years, he's coached young athletes and helped reintroduce the sport in Juneau.
A veteran of the three Arctic Winter Games, Worl was saddened by what the cancellation means for his athletes — who were looking forward to the international competition.
"It's hard to believe. You don't want to believe it," Worl said via telephone. " When I heard it, I immediately thought of my team. Because I've got six of my own athletes on that team."
The winter games – which are held every two years — were scheduled for March 15th to March 21st. The event usually attracts about 2,000 international visitors – including several Alaska competitors, coaches and officials.
"Arctic Winter Games — it's a life-changing opportunity and it's really a dream come true. That's the thing. It's canceled for, I mean, how many thousands of youth that were going to go and had their dreams set that made it?" Worl said. "They're going to represent Team Alaska or Team Yukon or whatever team. And It's hard, and I and I know my athletes when they got their uniform, who didn't want to take it off. They were just so proud."
The Winter Games announced the decision at a news conference — based on the recommendation of Yukon's acting Chief Medical Officer Catherine Elliot.
"This is an event that can bring together so many northerners from Canada and other circumpolar regions to celebrate sport, art, and culture," Elliot said, choking up, while giving a prepared statement at the news conference. "It is with a heavy heart that I have to make this recommendation. It is the responsible recommendation. And it is very unfortunate."
While there were no confirmed cases in Yukon, Elliot said the games created potential risk.
The cancellation sent shockwaves of disappointment across the Arctic Circle. Worl said he heard about it during the 2020 Traditional Games – a Native games competition in Juneau. Worl said an estimated 130 athletes participated.
"People just didn't believe this was something you could cancel. And I mean, I understand why, but you just don't believe it's something that can just be canceled a week before we're ready to get on our flights or ferries or buses."
Worl said that while the news was upsetting for him and his team, at least they were together when they heard it.
Since the inception of Arctic Winter Games in 1970, this marks the first year that the games will not be held as scheduled. But Worl said it's a reminder that coaches and athletes should reinforce healthy hygiene habits.
"I mean, one of our rules in our rules is hygiene. So we put that there when we travel is personal hygiene because. I mean, not all young people are good at that yet. And especially when you're staying in a hotel or a school in close quarters, it can get smelly," he said with a slight chuckle. "So it's something I always tell my athletes. I think it's even more on the minds of people than ever before."
Worl hopes organizers reschedule the games – or even hold them next year.

A decent chunk of my free time yesterday was consumed in pursuing insurance paperwork. The tangle between deductibles, out of pockets and co-insurance is deep and strange. Deeper and stranger still is the relationship between billers, billing codes and insurance carriers. Meanwhile, my time as the patient is spent playing telephone, literally and figuratively, between the hospital and my insurance company.
First of all, I have to meet my deductible. After my deductible, I have to meet my co-insurance target of 10% of allowed billing per procedure. That runs up to my out-of-pocket expense limit, except, of course, for those things which do not count toward my out-of-pocket expense limit.
It turns out that when you see a staff physician, the billing code the insurance company receives is associated with that doctor's Tax ID number, and is processed as a consultation with a physician. When you see a resident, the billing code the insurance company sees is a clinic services code, because residents don't yet have Tax ID numbers, and so it is processed as a clinic service.
Physician consultations for preventative care are covered in full. Clinic services are subject to deductible, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket expense requirements. The net result is that I or MotC or the_child can see a fully accredited staff physician for no cost to us whatsoever, or we can see a resident — ie, a brand new doctor still in training — and pay about $115 for the privilege of being seen by a far less experienced doctor.
All because of billing codes.
Nope, the healthcare financing system in this country doesn't need any fixing whatsoever. Nosirreebob. Only a Socialist could think there was anything wrong with this.
I run a healthcare billing company and I can tell you that you don't know the half of how screwed up the insurance companies are.
They remain at least 30% evil, but they are 70% stupid.
You are being charged because the resident is considered "out of network." Because residents don't have NPIs (National Provider ID), they can't participate in a network. Hence, some or all of the charges will be billed to you.
I tell you this as a warning because of your upcoming surgery. Talk to your surgeon and ask if he/she will be using an assistant surgeon. If so (likely), see if they will bill for that surgeon (oddly many hospital systems do not for residents, PAs, etc in assisted surgery). If they don't bill for assisted surgeons, you're fine. If they are going to bill, try to make sure the assistant is an in-network physician.
If you have problems with that, let me know. I can get one of my billing specialists to look into it. Chances are that you will not be affected by this (because most teaching hospitals don't bill for 1st assistant surgeons), so don't sweat it.
ok, maybe I'm 70% stupid, too. If I didn't want you to sweat it, I shouldn't have said anything. But seriously, don't sweat it. Delete both these comments and have a nice day.
I have a Masters degree in this stuff, and am familiar with the hospital you describe. I went through a period where I needed a Significant Amount of Health Care, and I still couldn't make any kind of sense of my bills either. Kudos to you for trying.

Vasily Vasili'evich Dokuchaev (Василий Васильевич Докучаев) (1846 — 1903) foi um naturalista russo, creditado por estabelecer as bases das ciências do solo e da ciência da paisagem, que seria mais tarde chamada por Sochava de Estudo de Geossistemas.

Visão geral
Vasily Vasil'evich Dokuchaev é geralmente considerado o pai da pedologia, o estudo dos solos no seu ambiente natural. Ele desenvolveu a ciência do solo na Rússia, e foi, talvez, a primeira pessoa a fazer grandes investigações geográficas de diferentes tipos de solo.

Em 1877, Dokuchaev foi convocado pelo Tzar da Rússia para estudar os efeitos de secas severas que ocorreram nas estepes ucranianas, onde o clima era muito frio e relativamente seco. Anos depois, Dokuchaev realizou estudos semelhantes em floresta de taiga na região de Gorki, onde o clima é mais quente e úmido. Ele notou que os solos de ambas as regiões eram bastantes diferentes, mesmo quando formados sobre rochas semelhantes .

A partir de suas observações em campo, ele introduziu a ideia de que as variações geográficas nos tipos de solo podem ser explicadas não só em relação a fatores geológicos (material de origem), mas também a fatores climáticos, da vegetação e topográficos, além do tempo disponível para a pedogênese (formação de solo) ocorrer. Utilizando estas ideias como base, ele criou a primeira classificação de solos.

Ele também inseriu a análise dos solos no seu ambiente natural, especialmente da descrição das seções aproximadamente horizontais entre a superfície e a rocha subjacente, as quais ele denominou de horizontes do solo. Os horizontes do solo foram interpretados por consequência das interações entre os fatores de formação do solo e, assim, os solos passaram a ser estudados sob o ponto de vista genético .

Suas ideias foram rapidamente tomadas por um bom número de cientistas do solo, incluindo Hans Jenny. Ele trabalhou em ciências do solo, e desenvolveu um sistema de classificação que descreve cinco fatores para a formação do solo. Sua obra mais famosa é Russian Chernozem (1883), sendo que em um trecho Dokuchaev cita que o "solo é um corpo natural e individualizado, tal como uma planta, animal ou mineral". A partir de sua obra, os solos passaram a ser interpretados como um corpos distintos e diferentes das rochas e sedimentos que os deram origem ..

Uma cratera em Marte foi nomeada em sua homenagem.

As ferry-loads of us start planning our summer holidays in France, some of us are also secretly entertaining a perennial lifestyle fantasy.
Wouldn't it be nice to find a ruined farmhouse in the Dordogne, buy it for a song, renovate it and make it your permanent second home?
By this time next year, you could be on first-name terms with M. Boeuf the butcher and M. Pain the baker, and planning your award-winning vineyard like the Jolie-Pitts.
With the pound so strong and the euro so weak, 2015 could be the perfect year to take a punt on the French property market – although not many of us will have the cash, or the chutzpah, to match actor Johnny Depp.
In 2001, the Pirates of the Caribbean star bought not one property, but a whole village: a 37-acre estate above St Tropez which has now come on the market for £16.5 million.
As well as the main house, stuffed with piratical features such as skulls, there is a church, a café, two swimming-pools, a skate park and a number of cottages.
If you are a Hollywood A-lister, of course, buying a village is as good a way as any to protect yourself against nosey neighbours.
To Mr and Mrs Average, even if they were filthy rich, it would feel like a self-indulgence.
But villages come on the market more often than you might think – and at not totally silly prices.
Last summer, a mystery bidder snapped up the South Devon village of Bantham for just over £11 million, less than the cost of a top-of-the-range apartment in Mayfair.
The picturesque seaside village comprised some 21 homes, a shop and a golf course and had been a family-owned estate since the 1920s. The National Trust considered buying Bantham, to preserve its unique character, but could not raise enough funds.
Also last summer, the Cotswolds village of Little Rollright, consisting of a Grade II-listed manor house, a rectory and five cottages, came on the market for £18 million.
The privately-owned village once belonged to Lincoln College, Oxford, and is just a short drive from Chipping Norton, as made infamous by David Cameron, Jeremy Clarkson et al.
In mainland Europe, it is not uncommon for dilapidated villages, deserted for years, to come on the market for next to nothing – although there are often strings attached.
Last July, the little village of Calsazio in the Italian Alps popped up on eBay with a starting price of just under £200,000. There was only one snag. Whoever bought the village, which comprised some 15 dilapidated houses, and had been up for sale for the residents, was required to spend hundreds of thousands restoring Calsazio to its former glory.
There have been similar stories in Spain. Last year, the mayor of Cortegada, in the northern Galicia region, announced that he was prepared to sell the abandoned hamlet of A Barca for free – provided the new owner drew up a long-term development plan which would bring people and jobs back to the area.
Spain was hit particularly hard during the economic recession in the late Noughties, and so many rural areas were brought to their knees that, according to one estimate, there are now nearly 3000 ghost villages in the country.
They are uninhabited, most of the houses are rotting and/or falling down, but if you have got the time and energy to restore them, they could be yours for between £50,000 and £200,000.
Not surprisingly, the villages are catching the eye of overseas buyers, around a third of them British – typically couples in their fifties or early sixties who have taken early retirement and want to throw themselves into a challenging restoration project.
Owning an entire village would not suit most people. Neighbours can be good company: they are not all bores and busybodies. But you can see why the thought of buying a village in a backwater of Europe would appeal to a certain kind of English eccentric.
If you were sole proprietor of the village, there would, of course, be nothing stopping you renaming the village after yourself. Or declaring the village a mobile phone-free zone. Or dancing naked around the maypole in spring. Or forming a one-man parish council, which passed every motion unanimously.
Last but not least, as the only resident of the village, you would have no competition for the prized title of village idiot.

City leaves tax rates alone for 2020
Published 1:03 pm Thursday, September 17, 2020
By Fred Petke
Winchester taxpayers won't see their city property tax rates increase this year.
Tuesday evening, the Winchester Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to leave the rates for real property at 14.66 cents per $100 value and personal property at 14.99 cents.
In a memo to the commission, Interim Finance Director Michelle Lucas said the city will still see a revenue increase of $25,798 over the $2 million in the city's fiscal year 2021 budget.
Lucas said the city could have set a maximum tax of 16.7 cents for real property and 15.87 for personal property. The higher rates, she said, would have generated nearly $2.3 million.
The compensating rate, which would generate the same amount of revenue as last year, was 15.8 cents, and would have required a public hearing. The rate for a 4-percent increase in revenue would be 16.7 cents.
"Due to COVID circumstances and working on a lean budget, I am not recommending the 4-percent increase as usual," Lucas wrote.
City property taxes will be due Dec. 4. Late payments will be subject to a 10-percent penalty.
City moves forward with EMS agreement
The commissioners also received a copy of a proposed agreement with Breathitt-Wolfe EMS to cover non-emergency patient transfers from Clark Regional Medical Center to other facilities.
Under the terms of the agreement, Breathitt-Wolfe would be called first for those runs. Winchester Fire-EMS would still be responsible for all emergency calls within Clark County.
A committee of city and county officials has been meeting for most of the past year to discuss EMS operations. CRMC officials have said sometimes it takes an hour of making phone calls to find an ambulance to take a transfer call.
"We've reached the point we can't capture every call," Winchester Mayor Ed Burtner said. "This is the strategy the committee came up with. I don't know what the other option is."
The earliest the commission would vote on the agreement would be Oct. 6. The Clark County Fiscal Court must also approve the agreement, as the city and county jointly fund EMS operations in Clark County.
Commissioner Shannon Cox said he couldn't support it because a patient could not request a Winchester ambulance for a transfer.
"I can't agree to that," Cox said. "I don't pay taxes to Breathitt-Wolfe."
Candice Tackett from CRMC said the agreement is vital; for about half of the month, she said hospital staff has to call up to 14 agencies to find someone to take a transfer call. She also said more patients are being flown by helicopter because ambulances can't be found.
"This is something our community needs for patients to get to a higher level of care," she said.
In other action, the commissioners:
— hired Courtney Harrison as a single role paramedic.
— hired Robert Harrison as a firefighter III/EMT.
— hired Jeffrey Frazier as a patient transfer specialist/EMT.
— approved a request from Steve Justice, chair of the Winchester-Clark County Heritage Committee, to place a marker near 50 N. Main St. in honor of Michael Rowady.
— approved an engineering service agreement with Palmer Engineering for work on Fulton Road.
— approved a conflict of interest waiver with Dinsmore & Shohl LLC regarding the city's lawsuit against Stuff Recycling.
— reappointed Mike Anderson to a four-year term on the Winchester Municipal Utilities Commission.
— approved a street closure request for Rock the Block on Sept. 25.
— approved sidewalk repairs in downtown Winchester, if the price and scope of work can be reduced to $235,000. The bid was $298,400.

He complained of harassment, now IIT-Kanpur to revoke Dalit teacher's PhD
The Senate is the highest decision-making body of IIT-Kanpur on academic matters and comprises all faculty members. It is headed by the institute director.
Written by Ritika Chopra | New Delhi | Updated: April 1, 2019 4:04:25 pm

The IIT-Kanpur (IIT-K) Senate has recommended cancelling the PhD dissertation of a Dalit teacher, who had complained of harassment and discrimination by four colleagues last year, on allegations of plagiarism, although the institute's Academic Ethics Cell had found "no reason to revoke the thesis".
The charges of plagiarism against Subrahmanyam Sadrela were made in an anonymous email sent to several faculty members on October 15, 2018 — two months after an inquiry by a retired High Court judge found the four teachers guilty of violating the conduct rules of IIT-K and the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The Senate's recommendation is expected to be placed before the institute's Board of Governors (BoG) soon. The Senate is the highest decision-making body of IIT-Kanpur on academic matters and comprises all faculty members. It is headed by the institute director.
If the BoG accepts the resolution, Sadrela's PhD will be withdrawn, which could result in him losing his job at IIT-Kanpur. Sadrela did his BTech from the Institute of Aeronautical Engineering affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad, and his MTech and PhD from IIT-Kanpur.
Sadrela, who joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT-Kanpur on January 1, 2018, had accused four of his colleagues at the institute of discrimination and harassment on January 12, 2018. A three-member fact-finding committee, set up subsequently by the IIT-K director, had found the four guilty of harassment in its report submitted on March 8, 2018.

A subsequent enquiry by a retired Allahabad High Court judge, undertaken at the behest of the BoG, also found the accused teachers to be at fault in the report submitted on August 17, 2018. The findings were discussed in a BoG meeting on September 6, 2018 — the Board decided that the accused teachers had violated conduct rules but not the SC/ST Act.
On November 18, 2018, Sadrela had filed an FIR against the teachers, which was stayed by the Allahabad High Court.
The anonymous complaint against Sadrela had alleged that parts of his PhD thesis — on parameter estimation of unmanned aerial vehicles using flight test data at low and high angles of attack — were "plagiarised" from works of three other people.
The complaint was referred by IIT-Kanpur director Abhay Karandikar to the Academic Ethics Cell for enquiry, which found that the complaint was "prima-facie correct".
However, the nine-member Ethics Cell's report, submitted last November, said: "…there is no allegation of plagiarism with regards to the scholar's research work comprising his creative and technical part of the dissertation, including, detailed experiments, tables, figures and the conclusions drawn from them. Thus the only instances of copying are restricted to certain introductory passages in several chapters and mathematical basics and preliminaries."
It said that "the committee felt that it would not be proposed to consider revocation of the thesis". It recommended that Sadrela rewrite the passages in question in his own words and submit an updated thesis in a month, and tender an apology letter to the institute director for his "misdemeanour".

However, when these recommendations were placed in the meeting of the Senate on March 14, it voted to have Sadrela's PhD revoked.
Professor Sumit Ganguly, who heads the Academic Ethics Cell of IIT-Kanpur, did not wish to comment on the matter. Karandikar, the institute director, did not respond to requests for comment from The Indian Express last week. He replied to an SMS Sunday saying he is travelling abroad.
"I have responded to the report of the Ethics Cell. As recommended (by the Ethics Cell), I have said sorry for the unintentional mistakes and also revised the introductory part of my thesis and resubmitted it. I got to know of the Senate's resolution (to revoke my thesis) recently," Sadrela said.
Defending his thesis, Sadrela said the similarities found were only in the introductory parts. "Literature survey is usually common. Only in the literature survey, the appendix and equations of motion, an overlap has been found. But these are standard procedures and overlap is common," he said.
"In my introduction, I have credited authors for work done in the past. My research is of 300 pages, of which 12 to 13 pages of introduction are under the scanner. Nobody has questioned my research and my findings, which are original. The recommendation to revoke my thesis is only a ploy to torture me," Sadrela said.

The sound of hammers and saws echoes throughout the streets of downtown Winter Park. It's a Saturday morning at the habitat house, and one volunteer's life is about to change forever.
It is Winter 2016. Tameka Maxwell, a 17-year Daycare worker, is working on painting the house when Hal George, President of Habitat for Humanity of Winter Park-Maitland, calls everybody over. George told the volunteers that somebody had reached over a hundred hours at the house. They announced that the house was now Tameka's.
"I was shocked," Maxwell said. "I couldn't believe what was happening. That really changed my life."
Maxwell was born and raised in Winter Park, Florida, but since she was young, she always wanted to get out of there.
"If you remember, this used to be the ghetto," she said. "I always wanted out. The only way that I was going back was if I got a house. And I did, and I'm back."
Maxwell currently lives with her daughter Auria, who is in the fourth grade, in the "Craig Maughan House," built during the 2015-16 school year by Trinity Prep students and other Habitat volunteers. Habitat for Humanity Winter Park-Maitland has been building houses for the community for over 20 years. But according to Executive Director Kassi Bernard, houses are not very easy to get. There is a committee that selects from families with an income 30-60% less than the median.
"This is a helping hand, not a handout," she said. "They have to pay, and show their ability to pay. We are looking at families who need it, not if they want it. Another main component is partnership," Bernard said. "It's about what kind of people and the partnerships they convey. It's about the relationships they convey with us. It's kind of finding out, is this a good family we want to represent us. From her [Maxwell's] relationship with her daughter, which is very close, and she had worked for a very long time in her job, which is not something we normally get."
Habitat and Trinity Prep have partnered to build more than 15 houses over the past two decades, and their partnership has gotten stronger and stronger.
"When we are able to project this message to students, who are at the beginning of when they are learning about the world, before they go out into the world, they'll remember it," Bernard said. "There is an adult out here, and she remembers going to Habitat when she was in the 4th grade. She is now in her late 20s and she still loves Habitat."
Maxwell says she would not have had the house if it weren't for Habitat and the people who helped her build it.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! They really did bless us," she said.
Habitat also gives applicants classes about credit and other things necessary to own a house.
"They gave me classes on how to manage credit," she said. "Before that, I had almost no idea what credit was. They also gave me a way to pay for the house. They gave me a mortgage that is very affordable."
Maxwell has also been volunteering at the current house, and is also doing something very special for the people who will be moving into the next house.
"I help the family who will get the next house," Maxwell said. "I take care of their kids, so that they can get the hours they need to work on the house."
Bernard also explains that the reason why so many people come out and volunteer at Habitat homes is because they want to help their community, just like TPS students do for the houses and what Maxwell does now for the next family.
"I think that it's the overall message that community helps community, and you're one big family," Bernard said. "Because you're all in it together."
Before she was introduced to Habitat, Maxwell had never even heard of them. Now, she is a homeowner, and people still ask her about how she got the house.
"I would tell them to apply, because a lot of people asked me how did you do it? I just signed up," Maxwell said. "Just fill out the paperwork and just try. Get your credit right."
Maxwell still is shell-shocked that she owns a house. Everyday when she walks in, she can't believe that this is all happening. The message that Habitat conveys is that community should help community. This is also the message that Maxwell gives.
"I missed out on a lot of stuff, but if you want what you want, you gotta do what you gotta do," she said. "Just do it, and find somebody that you know, and be a blessing to them."

Well written article about the 20 year relationship between Trinity and Habitat for Humanity. The article was informative and personal. It gave hope to others who might be thinking of one day owning a home themselves. We'll done!


The third album by Dutch neo-psych solo-artist Astral Son once again is full of cosmic soundscapes, progressing into psychedelic tracks with plenty of far-out elements. 'Minds Eye' basically sounds like a logical continuation of Astral Son's previous album 'Silver Moon' and is arguably (even) better! If you enjoyed this space cadet's first two excursions, you'll definitely love 'Mind's Eye'. Limited to 250 copies on YELLOW/BLUE MIXED VINYL.

How the Fintech Revolution Could Liberate Us
The Welfare State will Lose to Competitive Governance
Fergus Hodgson
Two major trends are facilitating the transition to classical-liberal limited government. (Pxhere)

Walmart's slogan is "save money, live better." The world's largest retailer, rivaled only by Amazon, does all it can to serve customers and better the competition.
If nation-states are to survive amid rising competitive pressures, they will have to do the same: serve people as customers, not as subjects. That means better services at lower prices and not taking people's money to give it to someone else.
The redistributive welfare state is unsustainable and increasingly unenforceable, and not only because of aging populations and irreconcilable unfunded liabilities. It will go the way of the dodo, as voluntary charity rises to assist those with legitimate needs and frustrated taxpayers vote with their feet.
The states that survive and thrive will be service providers that confine themselves to the protection of life, liberty, and property. Practically speaking, that means national defense, conflict resolution, police protection in public spaces, and key infrastructure, administered locally. Hans-Adam II, the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein, has foreseen and advocated for this transition in "The State in the Third Millennium."
Two major trends are facilitating the transition to classical-liberal limited government as we can see in Liechtenstein: (1) increased mobility for living and business and (2) a growing parallel economy that exists online and outside traditional financial institutions. These two trends mean more opportunity for jurisdictional arbitrage and agorism (decentralized disassociation from conventional politics).
The Rise of the Digital Nomad
Moving to yonder shores for better options is nothing new. However, when Harry Browne wrote the classic "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" in 1973, he could only have dreamed of 21st-century technology such as Airbnb, Turo, and online payments. Not only can we now move more easily, we need not stop.
Our parents' generation might shake their heads and wonder how a person can make a living through a computer from almost anywhere on earth. In the past two decades, this has become possible for almost anyone who takes the initiative, as has a travel-oriented lifestyle once limited to the most wealthy.
The digital-nomad community is rapidly maturing, networking, advocating, and commanding more attention as a consumer base. One digital-nomad Facebook group, for example, has more than 100,000 members and describes itself as the world's 200th nation. Some members have no tax residency and are permanent travelers.
Forward-thinking nations cater to the wave of entrepreneurs and freelancers with convenient incorporation solutions. The Estonian government has e-residency, a "new digital nation" for online businesses to access EU financial and legal institutions. Even authoritarian regimes such as the United Arab Emirates are making changes and offering tax advantages to attract investors and entrepreneurs.
Digital nomads can avoid many taxes outright. In the Americas alone, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, and Paraguay have no income tax on foreign earnings. The Bahamas and a handful of other Caribbean islands have no income tax at all. You can enjoy such benefits by simply residing in these jurisdictions for a portion of each year, and at least 10 nations allow you to garner citizenship simply through investment.
U.S. citizens face the complication of the Internal Revenue Service trying to tax them wherever they go, but even the land of the free is feeling the pinch. Despite a convoluted process, including an exit tax, the number of people renouncing citizenship has burgeoned in recent years. That includes high-profile cases such as Tina Turner, now in Switzerland, and Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire Facebook co-founder now in Singapore.
The 2012 Saverin case was revealing because politicos quickly resorted to name calling. Rather than offer a better deal—as President Donald Trump has done with companies—incumbents such as Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Bob Casey (D-Pa.) called Saverin a traitor and even sought to tax him more retroactively. This approach reinforced Saverin's conviction that he was right to protect his wealth elsewhere.
An Agorist Dream
In "The Social Singularity", Max Borders wrote that "cryptocurrency and income tax cannot coexist." He is right: Aside from a few high-profile cases, the IRS has struggled, and largely failed, to tax gains on bitcoin and countless altcoins. Compliance complexity and IRS inability to evolve have led to mass non-reporting.
A similar showdown is occurring with the peer-to-peer economy. As more people garner compensation without conventional salaries, they are not subject to direct withholding by conventional employers. A pivotal ingredient for wealth redistribution, tax on labor, is becoming harder to enforce.
Even when cities such as Austin, Texas, ban Uber and Lyft, rogue apps and online communities fill the void and take their place. These agorists, who opt out of cartelized taxi services, embarrass inefficient and ineffective police who crack down on people for merely selling a ride.
Still in their infancy, cryptocurrencies are here to stay—accepted by 14,000 vendors worldwide, up from 7,000 in 2016. A dozen cryptocurrencies have market capitalizations in excess of $1 billion, and 792 have more than $1 million. Many of these are so-called "rubbishcoins" in the making and will disappear. However, the array is a testament to innovation and dynamism. The designers are addressing the major shortcomings of bitcoin: price stability and costly transactions.
Further, many of these new cryptocurrencies seek to replicate the anonymity of cash, notably monero and dash. This "electronic cash," as described by Jerry Brito of the Coin Center, ought to be celebrated. It is a "fundamental tool for individual privacy and autonomy"; it checks both government overreach and the surveillance economy.
These private currencies are just the start of the disruption and creative destruction taking place in finance. Even the CFA Institute and many graduate schools have incorporated distributed ledgers—popularized as "blockchains"—into their curriculums. The dreamers pushing the frontiers, such as cybersecurity expert Juraj Bednár of the Institute for Cryptoanarchy, are building their crypto utopia or parallel economy outside legacy institutions.
Those who criticize fintech decentralization allege it dislodges regulators and state social services. People can bypass the bureaucracy and demonstrate their case to willing donors through crowdfunding. Likewise, purveyors of new entrepreneurial endeavors can incorporate in financial havens and access major capital from Canada and the United States, without burdensome barriers to entry.
The critics are spot on. Fintech advances are rendering the welfare state obsolete, but only because superior options are peacefully taking its place. Defenders of the status quo are lashing out with prohibitions and outlandish punishments, much like the taxi-cartel gangsters that harm Uber drivers and their cars. However, there will only be temporary setbacks, as the long-term trend is clear: meritocratic, competitive governments and laissez-faire economies that serve constituents, rather than the other way around.

The changing view of acrylamide neurotoxicity
Richard M. LoPachin
Acrylamide (ACR) is a water-soluble, vinyl monomer that has multiple chemical and industrial applications: e.g., waste water management, ore processing. In addition, ACR is used extensively in molecular laboratories for gel chromatography and is present in certain foods that have been prepared at very high temperatures. Extensive studies in rodents and other laboratory animals have provided evidence that exposure to monomeric ACR causes cellular damage in both the nervous and reproductive systems, and produces tumors in certain hormonally responsive tissues. Whereas human epidemiological studies have demonstrated a significantly elevated incidence of neurotoxicity in occupationally exposed populations, such research has not, to date, revealed a corresponding increase in cancer risk. Since the announcement by a Swedish research group in April 2002 [J. Ag. Food Chem. 50 (2002) 4998] regarding the presence of ACR in potato and grain-based foods, there has been a renewed interest in the toxic actions of this chemical. Therefore, in this review, we consider the different toxic effects of ACR. The neurotoxic actions of ACR will be the focal point since neurotoxicity is a consequence of both human and laboratory animal exposure and since this area of investigation has received considerable attention over the past 30 years. As will be discussed, a growing body of evidence now indicates that the nerve terminal is a primary site of ACR action and that inhibition of corresponding membrane-fusion processes impairs neurotransmitter release and promotes eventual degeneration. The electrophilic nature of ACR suggests that this neurotoxicant adducts nucleophilic sulfhydryl groups on certain proteins that are critically involved in membrane fusion. Adduction of thiol groups also might be common to the reproductive and carcinogenic effects of ACR. A final goal of this review is to identify data gaps that retard a comprehensive understanding of ACR pathophysiological processes.

French Competition
"All Kyrgyz women support her!" Jamila, the heroine of Chingiz Aitmatov's novel published in 1958, is kidnapped and married off according to a still practiced Kyrgyz custom, but she escapes with her lover. When on location scouting, Aminatou Echard realised that the mention of this protagonist literally opened doors. This surprising access to people's intimate worlds called for a film in its own right. The testimonies that came out of these encounters paint the portrait of a patriarchal society that has resurfaced since the end of the Soviet era. The sensuality of Super 8 film, with its grain accentuated at times by refilming, goes against the usual vintage aesthetics. The absence of synched sound heightens the lucidity of what the women across all generations have to say. Excerpts from the novel, translated into French by Louis Aragon, are superimposed onto the landscape. Soon, the writing ceases to appear as emanating from someone else (a male author, a canonical text), and espouses a feminine activity pursued despite the heavy constraints of daily life, whether this means writing at night time, transmitting to girls in high school the capacity to express their desires and refusal, composing songs, writing one's autobiography unbeknown to one's husband, or even inventing feminist graffiti, like the teenager who advocates for gender equality. A fitting subversion, on the vertical stone of walls, of the proverb that condemned women to inertia... (Charlotte Garson)
